Inositol-specific Phospholipase-d Activity In Health and Disease
No full text1. We report the first demonstration of the pathophysiological importance and clinical applications of the relatively recently discovered circulating enzyme, phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase D. This enzyme is known to cleave the large variety of important cell-surface molecules linked to the cell membrane by glycan-phosphatidylinositol linkages (glycanphosphatidylinositol anchors). 2. When measured in the sera of healthy individuals, phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase D activity was found to show a strong negative correlation with age, the degree of depreciation being greater than that measured for most other analytes. 3. Serum phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase D activity was considerably depressed in patients presenting with conditions leading to reduced liver synthetic reserve, such as hepatocellular carcinoma or liver cirrhosis caused by chronic viral hepatitis, and correlated with reduced albumin levels in these conditions, indicating that the liver is the site of phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase D synthesis and that phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase D may be used as an additional marker of liver synthetic reserve. 4. When measured in patients with acute liver disease, such as acute viral hepatitis, or in patients with bronchopneumonia, phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase D activity was found to be significantly raised, demonstrating features characteristic of an acute-phase reactant. 5. These findings indicate that, besides its pathophysiological importance, phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase D and the measurement of its activity in serum may have a useful place in the investigation of a range of clinical conditions, including tissue injury and inflammation
Raymond Williams and the limits of cultural materialism
No full textCultural materialism has become an influential discipline in recent
years, particularly so in 'Renaissance' studies, but also more generally in
'English', as well as departments defined as practising 'cultural' or
'communications' studies. The phrase is usually linked with the name of
Raymond Williams, but a cursory examination of Williams's own work
quickly establishes that it is a phrase he rarely uses, and only schematically
attempts to define. The thesis therefore takes the form of an investigation into
the way cultural materialism has come to be understood, by examining in
detail the trajectory of Raymond Williams's theoretical development, and how
his own engagement with various theoretical positions has helped to set
'limits' on the meaning of cultural materialism.
Chapters 1 and 2 deal with some of Williams's earliest work,
particularly Reading and Criticism, as a way of investigating how reasonable
it is to tag him as a 'Left-Leavisite', arguing that Leavis's undoubted
influence is resisted (though not entirely rejected) from a very early stage. The
first chapter considers in detail Leavis's work at Cambridge, the influence of
Eliot, and the significance of the 'Organic Community'. Chapter 2, which is
based around a comparative analysis of Williams's and Leavis's readings of
Dickens, argues that Williams rejects the 'organic community' in favour of his
'knowable community'. Chapters 4 and 5 deal with specific 'theoretical'
issues: the first, based around a reading of Terry Eagleton's critique of
Williams's use of the Marxist metaphor of 'base and superstructure', shows
some of the problems which arise from Williams's cultural model, as well as
suggesting refinements; the second deals with the influence of Volosinov's
theories on Williams. Chapter 6 comes out of Williams's readings of the
'Country-House' poems in The Country and the City, showing how his
practice of literary criticism relies on an acceptance of 'ideology' apparently
denied in his more 'theoretical' writings. This analysis is extended as a result
of investigations into the 'De L'Isle' manuscripts relating to the Penshurst
estate. Chapter 7 argues that it is possible to see the work of Fredric Jameson
as developing Williams's cultural materialism into Jameson's debates on
postmodernism.
In the Introduction and Conclusion, I have taken the opportunity to
look briefly at the activity of cultural materialism as it has developed since
Raymond Williams's death in 1988. The Introduction emphasizes what I see
to be important methodological differences between 'cultural materialism'
and 'new historicism'; the Conclusion deals with the continuing debate over
the value of a cultural materialist approach by considering the 'appropriation'

Cordaitean Predation Photos 2019: Unmounted Peels, Wild Cones. Plate 6
No full textThese images were used in the research for a master's thesis from the Texas A&M University Dept. of Geology and Geophysics (Date of submission: May 2020).Images were taken from unmounted peels of coal balls.Cones A and C are immature cones.Cone B is a degraded cone.Cone D is a basal section.33 brown coprolites were identified in the matrix.Peels were made by Anne Raymond, the advisor for this thesis.Cone maturity is as follows- cone A, immature (picture 1); cone B, taphonomically degraded (picture 2); cone C, immature (picture 3); cone D, basal section (picture 4). A brown coprolite (> 100 microns) was identified in the matrix (picture 1), 32 small brown coprolites (> 25 microns) were identified in the matrix (picture 5)
A Method For the Assay of Phosphatidylinositol-specific Phospholipase-d Activity In Serum
No full textA reproducible substrate for the assay of phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (PIPLD) can be prepared by extracting alkaline phosphatase from placental tissue with n-butanol under alkaline conditions. The alkaline phosphatase thus prepared retains its hydrophobic glycan phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor and aggregates into high M(r) forms. Incubation with serum hydrolyses the phosphate inositol linkage by PIPLD action, producing a less lipophilic, non-aggregated isoform of alkaline phosphatase. Three methods of measuring the amount of this isoform produced after a timed incubation with serum are described and compared: two types of phase partitioning systems, and electrophoresis and densitometry of the products after gradient-pore electrophoresis. All give comparable and reproducible measurements of PIPLD; however, the electrophoretic method is preferred for routine analysis
