How can you use “cystic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
found significant decreases in active bile acid uptake when examining ileal brush border membrane vesicles [ 11 ] and proposed that altered viscosity of the ileal mucus was likely not a factor in ileal bile acid malabsorption associated with cystic fibrosis.
4. This is also consistent with the suggestion, made in a recent report showing that cystic fibrosis isolates of P. aeruginosa had lipid A isoforms derivatized with aminoarabinose (or palmitate), that these structural modifications could enhance resistance to cationic antimicrobial peptides [ 61 ] . Although the acyl chains of lipid A might also provide alternative binding sites for protegrin, the orientation of lipid A on the HPA sensor chip ("butter-side down") probably removes them from consideration, at least under our study conditions.
BSA = bovine serum albumin; CF = cystic fibrosis; CFTR = cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator; C L = lethal concentration; DMSO = dimethyl sulfoxide; EC 50 = effective concentration 50%; EDTA = ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid; GGPG = modified PG-1 with a glycine-rich hexapeptide extension (GGGYGG) containing a single tyrosine residue; HEPES = N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid; HPLC = high performance liquid chromatography; I-GGPG = monoiodinated variant of GGPG; LPS = lipopolysaccharide; MAC = minimal active concentration; PG-1 = protegrin-1; RU = resonance units; SDS = sodium dodecyl sulfate; SPR = surface plasmon resonance; TSB = trypticase soy broth.
S. maltophilia is an important pathogen in nosocomial infections of immunocompromised patients suffering from cancer, cystic fibrosis, drug addition, AIDS and in patients with organ transplants and on dialysis [ 30 31 32 ] . This organism is inherently resistant to most antibiotics due to its low outer membrane permeability [ 33 ] and to β-lactam containing antibiotics due to the production of a chromosomally expressed group 2e β-lactamase (L2) and a group 3c β-lactamase (L1) [ 34 35 ] . L1 has been cloned, over-expressed, and partially characterized by kinetic and crystallographic studies [ 36 37 ] . The enzyme exists as a homotetramer of ca. 118 kDa in solution and in the crystalline state.
Similar discrepancies between measurements of solute uptake with brush border membrane vesicles or tissue biopsies and in vivo experiments have been observed in studies examining sodium/glucose cotransport in cystic fibrosis.
