Label	Id	Description
Arvicolinae	D003411	[A species in the genus Ondatra., A subfamily of MURIDAE found nearly world-wide and consisting of about 20 genera. Voles, lemmings, and muskrats are members.]
Databases, Bibliographic	D016206	[Extensive collections, reputedly complete, of references and citations to books, articles, publications, etc., generally on a single subject or specialized subject area. Databases can operate through automated files, libraries, or computer disks. The concept should be differentiated from DATABASES, FACTUAL which is used for collections of data and facts apart from bibliographic references to them.]
Databases as Topic	D019992	[Works on organized collections of records, standardized in format and content, that are stored in any of a variety of computer-readable modes.]
Wilderness	D055814	[Environment un-modified by human activity. Areas in which natural processes operate without human interference.]
Environment	D004777	[The external elements and conditions which surround, influence, and affect the life and development of an organism or population.]
Young Adult	D055815	[A person between 19 and 24 years of age.]
Adult	D000328	[A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.]
Wandering Behavior	D055816	[Moving oneself through space while confused or otherwise cognitively impaired. Patterns include akathisia, exhibiting neuroleptic-induced pacing and restlessness; exit seekers who are often newly admitted institution residents who try to open locked exit doors; self-stimulators who perform other activities such as turning doorknobs, in addition to continuous pacing; and modelers who shadow other pacers.]
Interleukin-8	D016209	[A member of the CXC chemokine family that plays a role in the regulation of the acute inflammatory response. It is secreted by variety of cell types and induces CHEMOTAXIS of NEUTROPHILS and other inflammatory cells.]
Chemokines, CXC	D019743	[Group of chemokines with paired cysteines separated by a different amino acid. CXC chemokines are chemoattractants for neutrophils but not monocytes.]
Telenursing	D055817	[Delivery of nursing services via remote telecommunications.]
Public-Private Sector Partnerships	D055818	[An organizational enterprise between a public sector agency, federal, state or local, and a private sector entity. Skills and assets of each sector are shared to deliver a service or facility for the benefit or use of the general public., Public-Private Section Cooperation]
Organizations	D009938	[Groups of people working together in a structured manner to pursue common goals and objectives.]
Hospitals, Isolation	D055819	[Facility where those suspected of carrying diseases could be kept in isolation., Hospitals designed or used to isolate or quarantine persons with communicable diseases., Buildings or ships used for quarantine detention.]
Methacholine Chloride	D016210	[A quaternary ammonium parasympathomimetic agent with the muscarinic actions of ACETYLCHOLINE. It is hydrolyzed by ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE at a considerably slower rate than ACETYLCHOLINE and is more resistant to hydrolysis by nonspecific CHOLINESTERASES so that its actions are more prolonged. It is used as a parasympathomimetic bronchoconstrictor agent and as a diagnostic aid for bronchial asthma. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1116)]
Methacholine Compounds	D008688	[A group of compounds that are derivatives of beta-methylacetylcholine (methacholine).]
Transforming Growth Factor alpha	D016211	[An EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR related protein that is found in a variety of tissues including EPITHELIUM, and maternal DECIDUA. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form which binds to the EGF RECEPTOR.]
EGF Family of Proteins	D066255	[A family of proteins that are related to epidermal growth factor. They share in common a consensus sequence consisting of six spatially conserved CYSTEINE residues which form three intramolecular bonds. This consensus sequence is commonly referred to EGF motif and is considered essential for binding of the proteins to ERB RECEPTORS.]
Transforming Growth Factors	D015291	[Hormonally active polypeptides that can induce the transformed phenotype when added to normal, non-transformed cells. They have been found in culture fluids from retrovirally transformed cells and in tumor-derived cells as well as in non-neoplastic sources. Their transforming activities are due to the simultaneous action of two otherwise unrelated factors, TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR ALPHA and TRANSFORMING GROWTH FACTOR BETA.]
Transforming Growth Factor beta	D016212	[A factor synthesized in a wide variety of tissues. It acts synergistically with TGF-alpha in inducing phenotypic transformation and can also act as a negative autocrine growth factor. TGF-beta has a potential role in embryonal development, cellular differentiation, hormone secretion, and immune function. TGF-beta is found mostly as homodimer forms of separate gene products TGF-beta1, TGF-beta2 or TGF-beta3. Heterodimers composed of TGF-beta1 and 2 (TGF-beta1.2) or of TGF-beta2 and 3 (TGF-beta2.3) have been isolated. The TGF-beta proteins are synthesized as precursor proteins.]
