Item Open Access The Effects of SARS-CoV-2 on the Angiopoietin/Tie Axis and the Vascular Endothelium(MDPI, 0024-03-11) Janchivlamdan, Dolgormaa; Shivkumar, Maitreyi; Singh, HarpritSevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection can cause potentially life-threatening coronavirus disease (COVID-19). COVID-19 is a multisystem disease and is associated with significant respiratory distress, systemic hyperinflammation, vasculitis, and multi-organ failure. SARS-CoV-2 causes the deterioration of numerous systems, with increasing evidence implying that COVID-19 affects the endothelium and vascular function. The endothelium is important for preserving vascular tone and homeostasis. The overactivation and dysfunction of endothelial cells are significant outcomes of severity in patients with COVID-19. The Angiopoietin 1/Tie 2 pathway plays an important role in endothelium quiescence and vessel stability. The disruption of Angiopoietin/Tie balance affects the vessel contact barrier and leads to vessel leakage, and this in turn causes endothelial dysfunction. Although vascular instability through SARS-CoV-2 is associated with endothelial dysfunction, it is still not understood if the virus affects the Angiopoietin/Tie axis directly or via other mechanisms such as cytokine storm and/or immune response associated with the infection. This review provides an overview of the impact SARS-CoV-2 has on endothelial function and more specifically on the Angiopoietin/Tie pathway.Item Metadata only Subcellular Fractionation of Candida stellatoidea after Growth with Glucose or n-Hexadecane(SOC GENERAL MICROBIOLOGY, 1983-02) Jenkins, R.

I. (Parvez I.); Lee, D.C.; Chapman, D.Item Metadata only Professionals, mentally handicapped children and confidential files(Taylor and Francis, 1986) Dyson, SimonThe professional files kept on ESN (S) children contain self-contradictory justifications for school placements; damaging social stereotyping; moral evaluation of parents; professional procedures involving circularity of thought, and attempts by professionals to protect themselves from the type of abuse to which they subject the children and their parents. On the basis that confidentiality offends both quality of information and basic human rights, the abolition of such confidential or secret files is demanded.Item Metadata only Evidence for more than one form of toluene cis-glycol dehydrogenase from Pseudomonas putida(1986-04) Jenkins, R.

O.; Porter, D.; Dalton, H.Item Metadata only Reasons for assessment: rhetoric and reality in the assessment of children with severe learning difficulties.(Open University Press, 1987) Dyson, SimonThis chapter is based on research carried out by Simon Dyson in the early 1980s into the problems facing the parents of children with mental handicaps, particularly in their contact with professionals. In the first part of the chapter, he identifies fifteen distinct functions which a professional assessment of a child may serve, apart from the purported aim of identifying the child’s needs. In the second part of the chapter, he analyses in detail extracts from the assessment of two children. He uses the exchange between parents and professional to demonstrate how remote these encounters are from the mythology of professionalism that remain such a potent force in special education.Item Metadata only Metabolism of bicyclic aza-arenes by Pseudomonas putida to yield vicinal cis-dihydrodiols and phenols.(ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 1987) Jenkins, R.
