Department of Medicine, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, USA
Am J Respir Crit Care Med 157:1616-22. 1998..Thus, lovastatin is a commercially available and clinically well-tolerated agent that reduces viability and induces apoptosis of mesothelioma cells, and may provide the basis for adjunctive treatments of patients with mesothelioma... - Magnitude, duration, quality, and function of pneumococcal vaccine responses in elderly adultsJ B Rubins
Pulmonary Section, Department of Medicine, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Minneapolis, MN 55417, USA
J Infect Dis 178:431-40. 1998..Thus, despite the adequate mean immune responses of the elderly as a group, a substantial proportion of elderly persons may have poor responses to the currently available pneumococcal vaccine... - Diagnosis of venous thromboembolism.

Clin Infect Dis 29:178-83. 1999..5%, compared with 1.2% among nonbacteremic controls (P < .00001). We conclude that NPB is a highly lethal infection that is associated with distinct but identifiable clinical risks, symptoms, and signs... - Temporal trends in survival after surgical resection of localized non-small cell lung cancerJ B Rubins
Pulmonary Division 111N, Department of Medicine, Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center, University of Minnesota, 1 Veterans Drive, Minneapolis, MN 55417, USA
Lung Cancer 28:21-7. 2000..We conclude that perioperative mortality after resection of localized NSCLC improved, but subsequent postoperative survival for these patients did not significantly improve over the 45-year period studied...

Pulmonary Diseases, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, University of Minnesota School of Medicine, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55417, USA
Infect Immun 67:5979-84. 1999..However, no particular group of vaccine polysaccharides could be used as a marker for adequate immune responses if only postvaccination sera were analyzed...- Killing of Streptococcus pneumoniae by capsular polysaccharide-specific polymeric IgA, complement, and phagocytesE N Janoff
Infectious Disease Section, Department of Medicine, Veterans Affairs Medical Center and University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55417, USA
J Clin Invest 104:1139-47. 1999..pneumoniae in the presence or absence of inflammation. These data suggest mechanisms whereby pIgA may serve to control pneumococcal infections locally and upon the pathogen's entry into the bloodstream... - Inhibition of mesothelioma cell growth in vitro by doxycyclineJ B Rubins
Pulmonary Diseases and Oncology, Department of Medicine, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

Department of Research Service, Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Medical Center, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN 55417, USA
Lung Cancer 32:27-38. 2001..Although loss of p16INK4a function remains tightly correlated with pRB expression, loss of other regulatory elements in NSCLC such as p53 mutation and cyclin D1 over-expression appear independent of loss of the p16INK4a gene product... - Role of gamma interferon in the pathogenesis of bacteremic pneumococcal pneumoniaJ B Rubins
Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and Department of Medicine, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis 55417, USA
Infect Immun 65:2975-7. 1997..Compared with that of immunocompetent mice, mortality was appreciably increased after pulmonary infection of IFN-gamma gene knockout mice, suggesting a protective role for IFN-gamma in host response to pneumococcal disease... - Dual function of pneumolysin in the early pathogenesis of murine pneumococcal pneumoniaJ B Rubins
Pulmonary Disease Division, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota
J Clin Invest 95:142-50. 1995..Moreover, both the cytotoxic and the complement-activating activities of pneumolysin may contribute independently to the acute pulmonary injury and the high rates of bacteremia which characterize pneumococcal pneumonia...
