An exploratory study of African-American women infected with HIV/AIDS and risky sexual behaviors, 2000
Get PDFThis study examined the relationship between African American women diagnosed with HIV/AIDS and risky sexual behaviors. The aims of the study were: (1) to describe knowledge related to sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS; (2) to determine high-risk sexual behaviors; and (3) to discuss intervention needed to reduce risky sexual behaviors. The setting was Positive Impact, a non-profit agency located in Atlanta, Georgia that provides counseling to those diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. The sample consisted of 25 African American women between the ages of 18 to 50. The participants were given a 97-item questionnaire to asses demographics, knowledge about the sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS, and risky sexual behaviors. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and the chi-square goodness-of-fit test. The findings indicated that although the participants had a high level of knowledge about the sexual transmission of HIV/AIDS, they still engaged in risky sexual behaviors. The results are valuable for clinicians because it will aid in educating individuals about risky sexual behaviors. Also, it will be useful for developing intervention programs and implementing policies that may eventually decrease risky sexual behaviors and the spread of HIV/AIDS among African American women
In vivo and in vitro evidence for the synthesis and processing of a styrene oxide induced form of epoxide hydrolase, 1985
Get PDFIn vivo and in vitro studies have been done to determine the site of biosynthesis and processing of styrene oxide (SO) induced epoxide hydrolase (EH). Adult male LongEvans rats were used to induce a form of epoxide hydrolase using styrene oxide as the inducing agent. Rats were administered 500 milligrams of SO per milliliter of corn oil intraperitoneally per day. They were sacrificed forty-eight hours post-injections and the livers were quickly removed, homogenized and fractionated on a sucrose discontinuous density gradient to obtain the microsomal fraction. Epoxide Hydrolase was synthesized in a cellfree system using a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. EH50 was partially purified using lubrol WX detergent solubilization and ion exchange chromatography. Analysis of EHsubS0 using SDS-PAGE showed the in vivo synthesis of a microsomal form of the enzyme. Autoradiography of the in vitro synthesis product (EHsubSO) showed that the enzyme is processed on RER-niembrane bound polysomes. The results suggest that EHsubS0 is synthesized on membrane-bound polysomes and follows the regulatory processing pathway of secretory proteins and,putatively, integral membrane proteins
