Disease relevance of District of Columbia

 

High impact information on District of Columbia

 

Chemical compound and disease context of District of Columbia

  • In 1986, 51 cases of trichinosis were reported to CDC from 12 states and the District of Columbia. Thirty-six (71%) of these cases occurred in New Hampshire, Hawaii, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania reported the largest number of cases, 15, or 29% of the total [11].
  • HIV/AIDS coverage in five African American newspapers (Amsterdam [New York] News, Oakland [California] Post, Washington [District of Columbia] Afro American, Atlanta Inquirer, and Chicago Citizen) was analyzed from 1991 to 1996 [12].
 

Biological context of District of Columbia

 

Associations of District of Columbia with chemical compounds

  • To understand better this phenomenon and other health-related behaviors, 28 states, the District of Columbia, and the Centers for Disease Control, Atlanta, surveyed over 22,000 US adults from 1981 through 1983 [15].
  • Sphingosine (SPN) has been claimed to be a negative modulator of transmembrane signaling through protein kinase C (PK-C) or some yet unidentified mechanism [for review see Y. A. Hannun and R. M. Bell, Science (Washington DC), 243: 500-507, 1989] [16].
  • Haefely's laboratory (Hoffman La Roche, Basel, Switzerland) and in the Laboratory of Preclinical Pharmacology (NIH, St. Elizabeths Hospital, Washington DC), that benzodiazepine action was mediated by a modulation of GABA action at GABA(A) receptors [17].
  • METHOD: Substance abuse surveys were completed every year for four years by predominantly black District of Columbia students, beginning when the students were in 4th/5th grade, and ending when they were in 7th/8th grade [18].
  • Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors for cardiovascular therapy: recent advances at the Tenth World Congress of Cardiology Washington DC, September 14-19, 1986 [19].
 

Gene context of District of Columbia

  • Activated Ha-ras genes have been detected in 66% of spontaneous hepatocellular tumors in the B6C3F1 mouse [Reynolds et al., Science (Washington DC), 237:1309, 1988] [20].
  • The INK4A gene maps to the 9p21 region and was initially described [M. Serrano et al., Nature (Lond.), 366: 704-707, 1993; A. Kamb et al., Science (Washington DC), 264: 436-440, 1994] as encoding a 148-amino-acid protein termed p16 [21].
  • METHODS: In a Washington DC community-based study conducted in 1996, we tested 5318 Ashkenazi Jews for three BRCA1/2 founder mutations and identified 120 mutation carriers [22].
  • Structural studies on a congenital abnormal coagulation factor XII (Hageman factor), factor XII Washington D.C., have been performed to identify the defect responsible for its lack of procoagulant activity [23].
  • A complementary DNA of MRP has been cloned and based on the deduced sequence encodes a member of the superfamily of proteins which bind ATP and function in various transport processes [Cole et al., Science (Washington DC), 258: 1650, 1992] [24].
