The therapeutic response to D-penicillamine in rheumatoid arthritis: influence of glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms (1999)
Journal Article
Layton, M. A., Jones, P. W., Alldersea, J. E., Strange, R. C., Fryer, A. A., Dawes, P. T., & Mattey, D. L. (1999). The therapeutic response to D-penicillamine in rheumatoid arthritis: influence of glutathione S-transferase polymorphisms. Rheumatology, 38(1), 43 - 47. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/38.1.43

To investigate whether the therapeutic response of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients to D-penicillamine is associated with polymorphisms in genes of the glutathione S-transferase (GST) supergene family.

The influence of rainfall on range in a female desert ungulate: The Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx) in the Sultanate of Oman (1998)
Journal Article
Corp, N., Spalton, A., & Gorman, M. (1998). The influence of rainfall on range in a female desert ungulate: The Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx) in the Sultanate of Oman. Journal of Zoology, 246(4), 369-377. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0952836998009856

In this study we investigated the effect of rainfall on the home range (calculated over 90 days) of adult female Arabian oryx (Oryx leucoryx) in a reintroduced population in central Oman. We looked at response to rainfall for six rain events in the p...

Laryngo-Rhino-Otologie, 77(4), 201-206. https://doi.org/10.1055/s-2007-996961

Background: While cigarette smoking and chronic alcohol consumption are the major risk factors for the development of head and neck cancer, it is assumed that genetic factors contribute to risk. Material and methods: We examined genotype frequencies...

Polymorphism in glutathione S-transferase loci as a risk factor for common cancers. (1998)
Conference Proceeding
Strange, R. C., Lear, J. T., & Fryer, A. A. (1998). Polymorphism in glutathione S-transferase loci as a risk factor for common cancers. In Diversification in Toxicology — Man and Environment (419–428). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-46856-8_37

Allelism has been found in human glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes of the alpha, mu, theta and pi families with the best characterised examples being those in mu class GSTM1 and theta class GSTT1. Isoenzymes encoded by these genes catalyse the de... Read More about Polymorphism in glutathione S-transferase loci as a risk factor for common cancers..

Provision of positive and negative selections in retroviral vectors containing the cytosine deaminase gene (1998)
Journal Article
Shiau, A., Yang, H., Wu, P., & Wu, C. (1998). Provision of positive and negative selections in retroviral vectors containing the cytosine deaminase gene. Gene Therapy, 5, 1571–1574. https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.gt.3300757

The E. coli cytosine deaminase (CD) provides a negative selection system for suicide gene therapy as CD transfectants are eliminated following 5-fluorocytosine (5FC) treatment. Here we report a positive selection system for the CD gene using 5-fluoro...

General practitioners' attitudes to psychiatric and medical illness (1998)
Journal Article
LAWRIE, S., MARTIN, K., McNEILL, G., DRIFE, J., CHRYSTIE, P., REID, A., …BALL, J. (1998). General practitioners' attitudes to psychiatric and medical illness. Psychological Medicine, 28(6), 1463 - 1467. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0033291798007004

Background. General practitioners are increasingly involved in the care of patients with long-term psychiatric disorders. We have previously reported that general practitioners are less willing to treat patients with schizophrenia than those without...

The diet of Pteropus voeltzkowi, an endangered fruit bat endemic to Pemba Island, Tanzania (1997)
Journal Article
ENTWISTLE, A., & CORP, N. (1997). The diet of Pteropus voeltzkowi, an endangered fruit bat endemic to Pemba Island, Tanzania. African journal of ecology,

The diet of the Pemba flying fox Pteropus voeltzkowi, a species endemic to the island of Pemba off Tanzania, was investigated. Faecal pellets, ejecta and dropped fruits were collected from under roosts to facilitate dietary analysis. This was supplem...
