Disease relevance of BEAN

• Blue rubber bleb naevus syndrome is a rare cutaneous-digestive angiomatosis, described first by William Bean in 1958 [1].
• Criteria for sub-typing of microbial organisms by DNA sequencing proposed by Olive and Bean were applied to several genes in Escherichia coli to identify targets for the development of microbial source tracking assays [2].
• Dependent t-tests indicated that body weight in air increased after each of the three means (Bean 0.78, Salad 0.92, Beverage 0.90 kg, all p less than 0.05), but underwater weights were unchanged [3].
• Blue rubber-bleb nevus (BRBN) syndrome, first reported in 1958 by Bean, manifests with multiple hemangiomas located in the skin and gastarointestinal tract [4].
• In an Atlanta, Georgia hospital, Dr. Bean utilized his invention by establishing the first ward devoted exclusively to the treatment of jaw fractures [5].

Psychiatry related information on BEAN

• Guided by the Bean and Metzner model of nontraditional undergraduate student attrition, the author examines the influence of self-efficacy and select academic and environmental variables on academic achievement and retention among nontraditional nursing students [6].

High impact information on BEAN

• Addition of the trypsin inhibitors NPGB or Soy Bean Trypsin Inhibitor at concentrations which inhibited transformation-associated fibrinolysis restored adhesiveness and morphology to near normal, but did not affect the rate of hexose transport [7].
• Retention of a Bean Phaseolin/Maize {gamma}-Zein Fusion in the Endoplasmic Reticulum Depends on Disulfide Bond Formation [8].
• Digestion with DNAse I, Mung Bean nuclease, S1 nuclease, DNAse II, and copper (1,10-phenanthroline)2 on a 256 base pair restriction fragment containing d(AT)14A revealed a dinucleotide repeat structure for the alternating sequence [9].
• Inhibition of Jack Bean urease (EC 3.5.1.5) by acetohydroxamic acid and by phosphoramidate. An equivalent weight for urease [10].
• J. Bean (Virology 133:438-442, 1984) [11].

Biological context of BEAN

• A comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence from these viruses shows that the virulent strain, which evolved from the avirulent by the accumulation of point mutations (Bean et al., 1985), acquired four amino acid changes in the NA: one in the transmembrane segment, one in the stalk, and two in the head [12].
• Oviposition Choice of Mexican Bean Beetle (Epilachna varivestis) Depends on Host Plants Cyanogenic Capacity [13].
• The binding sites of zinc in the Mung Bean Nuclease molecule were investigated using cyclic voltammetry [14].
• Writing in Nature Genetics, Bean et al. report a parallel between male germline X inactivation in nematodes and a fungal gene-silencing mechanism that alters the way we view the evolution of both phenomena [15].

Anatomical context of BEAN

• In CHO cells we have found that for a variety of chemicals one harvest time near 20 h is optimal following a 3-h treatment (Bean et al., 1992) [16].
• Magnesium Enhances Aluminum-Induced Citrate Secretion in Rice Bean Roots (Vigna umbellata) by Restoring Plasma Membrane H+-ATPase Activity [17].
• The glycoproteins that stimulate LAK cells to secrete IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha were further enriched by their ability to bind concanavalin A (Con A, Jack Bean) [18].
• Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal spores were isolated from field transplants and rhizosphere soil of Hedera rhombea (Miq) Bean and Rubus parvifolius L., which form Paris-type and Arum-type AM, respectively [19].

Associations of BEAN with chemical compounds

• Studies by a number of workers using the Langmuir film balance have shown that when carbohydrates, such as sucrose or glycerol, are dissolved in a subphase on which a phospholipid is spread, film expansion occurs (Cadenhead & Demchak, 1969; Cadenhead & Bean, 1972; Maggio et al., 1976; Maggio & Lucy, 1978) [20].
• (bean) suspension cell nuclear extracts that binds in vitro to three DNase I-footprinted elements (SBF-1 boxes I, II, and III, 5' to 3') in the 5' region of the bean CHS15 (chalcone synthase) gene promoter [21].
• Expression Profiles of Genes Involved in Fatty Acid and Triacylglycerol Synthesis in Castor Bean (Ricinus communis L.) [22].
• A Wald-type test proposed by Lu and Bean (1995, Statistics in Medicine 14, 1831-1839) is anticonservative, i.e., its false positive error rate is greater than specified [23].
• Gas Exchange and Co-regulation of Photochemical and Nonphotochemical Quenching in Bean during Chilling at Ambient and Elevated Carbon Dioxide [24].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of BEAN

• The urease-induced crystallization of magnesium ammonium phosphate and calcium phosphate was studied at different alkalinization degrees by incubating synthetic urine with increasing Jack Bean urease concentrations [25].
• Numerical examinations demonstrate that the sample size formulas using these alternative methods are reasonable while that by Lu and Bean is not [23].
• In a series of parallel experiments on 36 patients and 18 normal donors, this modification of the [3H]proline test was compared with three different assays: the conventional microcytotoxicity test of Takasugi and Klein, the original [3H]proline microcytotoxicity test of Bean et al., and the viability count of tumor cells [26].
• When three different varieties of cowpea are assayed for their globulin content by RIA and ELISA, it is observed that the Bold Grain cowpea has the highest amount of related globulin as compared to two other varieties, namely Pusa Phalgun and Asparagus Bean [27].
• Trilucent ("Soya Bean") breast implants were marketed as a safe alternative to silicon implants [28].
