pasteurella infection in a total knee arthroplasty.hematogenous infection of a total joint arthroplasty is a serious complication that has well-known etiologies. one of the most unusual inciting events is a bite wound. pasteurella multocida is an anaerobic organism found in the mouths of mammals that has rarely been found to infect total knee arthroplasties. prompt recognition of such an infection and prophylactic treatment with a penicillinase-resistant penicillin should maximize the patient's opportunity to eradicate such an infection.19921603610
[purification, amino acid composition and n-terminal sequence of the major protein (protein h) of the outer membrane of pasteurella multocida].the major protein (protein h) of the outer membrane of pasteurella multocida was purified by size-exclusion chromatography after selective extraction with detergents. the protein forms homotrimers which are stable in the presence of sds at room temperature. upon treatment at 100 degrees c, the protein is fully dissociated by the detergent into monomers exhibiting an apparent molecular mass of 37 kda as estimated by electrophoresis. the amino acid composition of protein h is characterized by a lo ...19921606514
pasteurella multocida infection in total knee arthroplasty. case report and literature review.pasteurella multocida, a small gram-negative bacterium, is part of the normal mouth flora of many animals, including domestic cats and dogs. while commonly associated with infections in animals, it is a rare cause of human disease. the majority of pasteurella infections in humans occur with percutaneous inoculation of the organism following a bite by a cat or dog, although disease without antecedent animal exposure or with causal animal contact does occur. the spectrum of disease produced ranges ...19921613522
brefeldin a enhances receptor-mediated transcytosis of transferrin in filter-grown madin-darby canine kidney cells.the effects of brefeldin a (bfa) on transferrin (tf) transcellular transport, tf receptor (tfr) distribution, and tfr-mediated endocytosis in filter-grown madin-darby canine kidney (mdck) cells were studied. bfa (1.6 micrograms/ml) markedly enhanced the transcytosis of 125i-labeled tf (125i-tf) in both apical-to-basal and basal-to-apical directions; yet, bfa did not enhance the transcytosis of either native horseradish peroxidase (hrp) or membrane-bound hrp-poly(l-lysine) conjugates. furthermore ...19921618847
[fundus plication with or without proximal selective vagotomy?].the aim of this study was to determine the influence of proximal gastric vagotomy on the outcome after fundoplication. of 141 patients operated on for reflux disease between 1972 and 1988, 53 had fundoplication alone (group a) and 88 fundoplication combined with proximal gastric vagotomy (group b). the two groups were similar with regard to the severity of the reflux disease (esophagitis: a 69%, b 73%) but had a different incidence of concomitant ulcer disease (a 2%, b 55%). after a mean follow- ...20061621082

characterization of pasteurella multocida from nasal cavities of piglets from farms with or without atrophic rhinitis.a total of 137 strains of pasteurella multocida isolated from the nasal tracts of pigs with and without clinical atrophic rhinitis (ar) were studied for their biochemical, antigenic, and toxigenic characteristics. there were no major biochemical differences among the p. multocida isolates. capsular antigen types a and d were both present in the nasal cavities of the pigs with or without clinical ar. however, the prevalence of type d was higher on farms with pigs with ar. types a and d with diffe ...19921624554
review of behavior on a disk from cms academic software: instructional programs for teaching teachers.the programs on boad represent a set of useful simulations and demonstrations of learning phenomena that successfully convey important practical and theoretical information to students. the most successful modules deal with shaping and the selective effect of positive reinforcement on behavior. the range of examples is sufficiently broad to convey the generality of these learning phenomena, but the graphics and particular examples are better suited to the college classroom (for which they were d ...19921626085
vaccine efficacy for reducing turbinate atrophy and improving growth rate in piggeries with endemic atrophic rhinitis.two vaccines, based on formalin-killed whole cells of toxigenic pasteurella multocida type d and bordetella bronchiseptica combined with a partially toxoided cell extract of p multocida, were prepared with freund's incomplete adjuvant (vaccine 1) or by alum precipitation (vaccine 2). each was tested for safety and efficacy in reducing the severity of nasal turbinate atrophy and improving the growth rate of pigs in three western australian commercial piggeries with endemic atrophic rhinitis. in s ...19921627085
transmission of pasteurella multocida on california turkey premises in 1988-89.restriction endonuclease analysis (rea) of whole-cell dna was used to determine possible sources of pasteurella multocida for each outbreak of fowl cholera occurring in turkey flocks in eight commercial poultry companies in california from october 1988 to september 1989. over this period, 179 isolates of p. multocida were obtained from dead turkeys in 80 meat and breeder flocks on 43 premises. p. multocida was isolated from wildlife on five premises. isolates were characterized by subspecies, se ...19921627098
restriction endonuclease analysis of pasteurella multocida isolates from three california turkey premises.three california turkey premises that had repeated outbreaks of fowl cholera were studied for periods of 2 to 4 years. using biochemical, serologic, plasmid dna, and restriction endonuclease analyses of isolates of pasteurella multocida from turkeys and wildlife on the premises, strains of the organism were found to be enzootic on two of the premises. on the third, a variety of strains of p. multocida were isolated from fowl cholera outbreak flocks.19921627099
vaccination of turkeys with cell-free culture filtrate of pasteurella multocida: effects of ultrafiltration and endotoxin removal.cell-free culture filtrate (ccf) of pasteurella multocida strain r44/6 (serotype 3/4/9/12) was fractionated by ultrafiltration into fractions of less than 10,000, greater than 10,000, greater than 30,000, and 10,000 to 30,000 molecular weight (mw). the less-than-10,000-mw fraction contained little endotoxin comparable to bacteriologic medium; the 10,000-to-30,000-mw fraction had a moderate amount of endotoxin, whereas the greater-than-10,000- and greater-than-30,000-mw fractions contained high l ...19921627112
cleavage of immunoglobulin a1, a2 and g by proteases from clinical isolates of pasteurella multocida.several pasteurella multocida strains were examined for their ability to produce extracellular enzymes that cleave immunoglobulin a and g (ig a and ig g) molecules. two strains isolated from human pulmonary and genital infections produced proteases that cleaved human iga and igg, colostral iga and human myeloma iga1 and iga2. human igm was not degraded by these enzymes. examination of cleavage digests showed two main fragments with different electrophoretic mobilities. the two p. multocida strai ...19921629898
swine leukocyte antigen and macrophage marker expression on both african swine fever virus-infected and non-infected primary porcine macrophage cultures.swine leukocyte antigens (sla) and a macrophage specific marker were monitored on porcine macrophages cultured with or without macrophage colony stimulatory factor (m-csf) and on cells infected with african swine fever virus (asfv). sla expression was maximal either in the total cell extract or on the cell surface at 3-4 days of culture; after 4 days these values began to decrease. fluorescence analyses of immunostained macrophages cultured with or without m-csf indicated a major upward shift in ...19921632065
use of rats to compare atrophic rhinitis vaccines for protection against effects of heat-labile protein toxin produced by pasteurella multocida serogroup d.four bacterin-toxoid and three bacterin commercial vaccines against atrophic rhinitis were tested in rats for their capacity to immunize against the lethal and systemic effects of purified heat-labile protein toxin (d-toxin) produced by pasteurella multocida serogroup d. only one bacterin-toxoid vaccine stimulated sufficient immunity to prevent the death of all rats challenged with d-toxin. none of the vaccines prevented weight loss, leukocytosis or increases in serum complement titers in rats c ...19921632076
[treatment procedure in humeral shaft fractures with primary or secondary radial nerve damage].we give an account of 28 patients with fractured humerus diaphysis, suffering from primary and seven patients suffering from secondary lesion of the radialis nerve, all treated by operation. in each case the radialis nerve was exposed and the fracture was treated by fixation with compression plates. in case of primary lesions of the radialis nerve, we found intraoperative damages by traction (six times), contusions (seven times), intraneural hämatomas (six times) and for one time perforation of ...20061636222
immunology of the bladder.immunobiology techniques that once were the domain of research are increasingly being applied in the clinic. transitional epithelium of the bladder undergoes some recognized immunologic changes as it becomes malignant, and their detection may have prognostic value. examples of such changes are deletion of the abo(h) blood group antigens, inappropriate expression of lewis antigens, loss of beta-2 microglobulin and the mhc class 1 heavy chain, and alterations in the production of cellular adhesion ...20061636238
