Abstract:

A mouse growth hormone secretagogue receptor has been isolated, cloned and sequenced. This receptor is characteristic of the G-protein family of receptors. Mouse growth hormone secretagogue receptors may be used to screen and identify compoumds which bind to the mouse growth hormone secretagogue receptor. Such compounds may be used in the treatment of conditions which occur when there is a shortage of growth hormone, such as observed in growth hormone deficient children, elderly patients with musculoskeletal impairment and those recovering from hip fracture and osteoporosis. Targeted disruption of the mouse GHS-R gene may prove useful in elucidation of the mechanism of action and role of the growth hormone secretagogues in human and animal physiology.

Abstract:

An electronic transaction message test data generator provides large amounts of standard (e.g., EDI 835) healthcare reimbursement claim test data comprising payment advice data that would be provided by a payer organization using logic and business rules to verify the format of the data. A system provides electronic transaction data for use in testing an executable application. The system includes a source of a predetermined template transaction file comprising data representing a transaction and including at least one placeholder tag representing a transaction data element for replacement by a corresponding transaction data element derived from stored non-test transaction data. An acquisition processor acquires non-test transaction data of a predetermined type from a transaction data repository. A data generator matches and replaces a placeholder tag in predetermined template transaction file data with a corresponding transaction data element in the acquired transaction data of the predetermined type to provide output transaction data.
