fatal familial cholestatic syndrome in greenland eskimo children.a syndrome of intrahepatic cholestasis leading to death in early childhood was studied in 16 greenland eskimo children. the pedigrees are compatible with autosomal recessive inheritance. jaundice, bleeding, pruritus, malnutrition, steatorrhoea, osteodystrophy and dwarfism were typical clinical features. eight had died between the ages of six weeks and three years due to bleeding or infections. hyperbilirubinaemia, profound hypoprothrombinaemia, thrombocytosis and elevated alkaline phosphatase le ...20123564958
loperamide associated necrotising enterocolitis.two cases of necrotising enterocolitis (nec) occurring in infants beyond the neonatal period were reported. they did not have any predisposing factors to nec but both had paralytic ileus after loperamide therapy for their mild diarrhoea prior to the onset of nec. the possible role of loperamide in the pathogenesis of nec was discussed.20113564964
techniques for decreasing the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leaks following translabyrinthine surgery.cerebrospinal fluid leaks are common after translabyrinthine surgery. minor modifications in surgical technique have proved helpful in decreasing the incidence of this complication. they involve incision design, packing techniques, monitoring eardrum integrity, and dressing care.20133565552
luminal and plasma glucose concentrations on intestinal fluid absorption and lymph flow.the effect of luminal (gl) and plasma (gp) glucose concentration on intestinal fluid absorption and lymph flow in the rat was studied. when gl was zero, fluid absorption rate (jv), total lymph flow, and "excess lymph flow" (jle) during absorption from krebs-ringer solution was 155 +/- 16, 30 +/- 4, and 11 +/- 4 microliters x cm-1 x h-1, respectively, and jle accounted for 7% of jv. jle was the difference between total lymph flow and basal (nonabsorptive) lymph flow (jlb). in the presence of 28 m ...19873565572
anaphylaxis to cabbage: detection of allergens.allergy to cabbage and other foods in the brassica family has rarely been observed in man. we report a case of facial and throat swelling in an atopic female after she ingested coleslaw on two separate occasions. she had 4+ reactions to cabbage, mustard plant, cauliflower, and broccoli by skin testing. a rast using cabbage extract was positive for specific ige antibody. analysis of cabbage extract by gel filtration showed five peaks of ultraviolet-absorbing material at 280 nm. allergenic activit ...19873565859
the lower limb as a presenting site of malignant lymphoma.cutaneous malignant lymphomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unusual swellings or ulcers presenting on the limbs. four cases on the lower limb are described. they may appear as nodules, plaques or ulcers and it is recommended that cytology is used to supplement histology in diagnosis. successful treatment with radiotherapy is possible but the overall prognosis is frequently poor.20133566124
decreased sialic acid content of erythrocytes in patients with aplastic anaemia.the sialic acid content of erythrocytes from patients with aplastic anaemia was determined and compared with those in patients with several haematological disorders and healthy individuals. the sialic acid was released enzymatically with vibrio cholerae sialidase and quantitated by the thiobarbituric acid method (aminoff, 1961). the sialic acid content of normal erythrocytes was 538 +/- 31 nmol/ml of packed erythrocytes. that of erythrocytes from patients with aplastic anaemia was 480 +/- 35 nmo ...19873567088
comparisons of time intervals and plasma lh concentrations during the ovulatory cycle of broiler breeder hens maintained under either a 24 h light:dark cycle or continuous light.the possibility that egg production in broiler breeder hens may be increased by selection for reduced oviposition interval under continuous light was investigated by comparing the pattern of pre-ovulatory releases of plasma luteinising hormone (lh) and the associated ovipositions in the same broiler hens maintained under normal cycles (15.25 h light/d) or continuous light. the lighting conditions had no effect on plasma concentrations of lh before and at the pre-ovulatory lh peak in first, mid-s ...19873567681

effects of d,l-propranolol on apomorphine induced stereotyped behavior in rats.the effects of d,l propranolol on stereotyped behavior induced by apomorphine administration was studied quantitatively. d,l propranolol caused a 2.5 leftward displacement of the control dose-response curve constructed to apomorphine-induced stereotypy; the ed50 for apomorphine was reduced from 1.87 +/- 0.38 to 0.74 +/- 0.17. the potentiation was dependent on both d,l-propranolol and apomorphine doses. results are discussed in the light of a possible interference of the central noradrenergic sys ...19873569842
enterotoxicity of el tor-like hemolysin of non-o1 vibrio cholerae.the enterotoxicity of an el tor-like hemolysin purified from non-o1 vibrio cholerae was investigated. fluid accumulation was induced by injection of purified hemolysin into the ligated intestinal loops in adult rabbits (de test), intraintestinal administration in infant rabbits (dutta test), and oral inoculation in suckling mice. the accumulated fluid was invariably mucous and bloody, and a histological change in the mucosa was observed. these results suggest that the hemolysin is an enterotoxic ...19873570456
transcription of cholera toxin operon in wild-type and mutant strains of vibrio cholerae.mrna for cholera toxin (ct) was measured in wild-type, hypertoxinogenic, and hypotoxinogenic strains of the classical biotype. the amount of ct-specific mrna was directly related to the amount of ct that the strains could produce. estimates of the size of the mrna for ct in individual experiments varied between approximately 900 and 1,100 nucleotides.19873570476
incidence of sperm-associated immunoglobulins in infertile men with suspected autoimmunity to sperm.semen samples from 120 infertile men with suspected autoimmunity to sperm were investigated by a direct immunobead test (ibt). fifty-three (44%) of them had 10% or more motile sperm coated with anti-igg and/or anti-iga immunobeads. both classes of immunoglobulins were found to be present in 88.7% of the antibody positive ejaculates. these sperm-bound igs were associated with sperm autoagglutination in 80% of the ejaculates and with decreased sperm penetration into cervical mucus in 97.6% of the ...20133570528
observations on the binding of lanthanides and calcium to vitamin d-dependent chick intestinal calcium-binding protein. implications regarding calcium-binding protein function.the binding of calcium and terbium to purified chick vitamin d-dependent intestinal calcium-binding protein was studied by terbium fluorescence, circular dichroism, and intrinsic protein fluorescence techniques. calcium-binding protein bound, with high affinity, at least 3 mol of terbium/mol of protein; numerous low affinity terbium-binding sites were also noted. the three highest affinity sites were resolved into one very high affinity site (site a) and two other sites (sites b and c) with slig ...19873571269
transcriptional behavior of silkmoth chorion genes in vivo and in injected xenopus laevis oocytes.a cloned fragment of bombyx mori genomic dna containing a pair of chorion genes was injected into xenopus laevis oocytes. the rna transcribed from the injected template was examined by primer extension analysis for the presence of transcripts initiated correctly from the two chorion genes. using as primers a number of fragments derived from various parts of the injected dna, we have found that transcription initiation around the cap sites of the chorion genes was considerably more frequent than ...19873571273
trauma oblique radiographs of the knee.special trauma oblique radiographs of the knee were designed for the purpose of demonstrating the patella radiographically in a manner that would free it from the shadow of the distal end of the femur. these radiographs are made by directing the x-ray tube at an angle of 45 degrees and making two exposures, with the film placed first on the lateral and then on the medial side of the injured knee. these two radiographs have been found to be useful for delineating the extent of fractures of the pa ...20133571316
neuronal inhibition of astroglial cell proliferation is membrane mediated.previously we have used a microwell tissue culture assay to show that early postnatal mouse cerebellar astroglia have a flattened morphology and proliferate rapidly when they are cultured in the absence of neurons, but develop specific cell-cell contacts and undergo morphological differentiation when they are co-cultured with purified granule neurons (hatten, m. e., 1985, j. cell biol., 100:384-396). in these studies of cell binding between neurons and astroglia, measurement with light and fluor ...19873571332
involvement of gastrointestinal mechano- and intestinal chemoreceptors in vagal reflexes: an electrophysiological study.the role of gastrointestinal mechanoreceptors and intestinal chemoreceptors in the genesis of vago-vagal reflexes was assessed by recording single vagal efferent fibre discharge in the urethane-anaesthetized ferret during procedures known to activate discrete populations of gastrointestinal afferent fibres. distension of the stomach, duodenum and jejunum was used to activate mechanoreceptors while perfusion of the intestinal loops with various chemical solutions was used to activate mucosal chem ...19873571829

characterization of vibrio eltor typing phages: properties of the eltor phage e4.biophysical characteristics of vibrio eltor phage e4, a key phage in the vibrio cholerae typing scheme were studied. this icosahedral phage was found to contain 12 structural polypeptides with mol. wt. ranging from 25,000 to 120,000. one of these polypeptides of mol. wt. 50,000 accounted for most of the structural proteins present and was probably the major phage capsid protein. the phage genome comprised a single linear, double-stranded dna molecule, 69.2 kbp in length (45.6 x 10(6) mol. wt.) a ...19873572368
cell and molecular analysis of long-term sensitization in aplysia.we have found that one cellular locus for the storage of the memory underlying short-term sensitization of the gill and siphon withdrawal reflex in aplysia is the set of monosynaptic connections between the siphon sensory cells and the gill and siphon motor neurons. these connections also participate in the storage of memory underlying long-term sensitization. in animals that have undergone long-term sensitization, the amplitudes of the monosynaptic connections are significantly larger (2.2x) th ...20123572827
pulmonary effects due to short-term exposure to oil fog.rats were exposed to an oil fog generated by flash vaporation and subsequent condensation of lightweight lubricating oil. exposures were for 3.5 h/d, 4 d/wk, for 4 wk, at concentrations of 1.5, 0.5, or 0.0 mg/l and a particle size of approximately 1 micron. samples of respiratory tissues were taken for histopathologic analyses, lavage fluid samples were collected, and pulmonary function measurements were made the day after the last exposure. an accumulation of macrophages within the alveolar lum ...19873573069
emergency room thoracotomy for stab wounds to the chest and neck.this study group comprises 73 patients who underwent emergency room resuscitative thoracotomy for cardiac arrest following penetrating chest and neck injuries. overall, 12 patients (16.4%) were successfully resuscitated but only five (6.8%) left the hospital alive without neurologic defects. none of the 18 cases with no vital signs at all (no cardiac activity, no respiratory efforts, nonreactive pupils) on admission survived. only one out of the 19 cases with no cardiac activity and with fixed p ...20133573102
inhibition of reovirus type 3 binding to host cells by sialylated glycoproteins is mediated through the viral attachment protein.the interaction of mammalian reoviruses with sialylated glycoproteins was studied and found to be highly serotype specific in that attachment of type 3 dearing reovirus to murine l cell receptors could be strongly inhibited by bovine submaxillary mucin (bsm), fetuin, and alpha 1 acid glycoprotein, albeit at different efficiencies, whereas attachment of type 1 lang reovirus was inhibited only by fetuin. we subsequently demonstrated, by using reassortants between type 3 and 1 reoviruses, that inhi ...19873573143
decision analysis of treatment options in pyriform sinus carcinoma.decision analysis was used to evaluate the current treatment options for stage iii squamous cell carcinoma of the pyriform sinus (surgery, radiation therapy, and combined surgery/radiation therapy). using published data, a decision tree was constructed based on quality-adjusted weeks of survival. with this model the combination of surgery and postoperative radiation therapy is preferred over either primary surgery or the combination of preoperative irradiation and surgery; primary radiation ther ...20133574025

[dorsal spondylodesis of the cervical spine using a hooked plate].the hook plate is a new device for achieving dorsal fusion of the lower cervical spine (c2-t1). using the dorsal approach, this technique guarantees independent stability that is sufficient even in cases without anterior stabilization. it satisfies the three main requirements for dorsal implants, i.e. a tension band, independent stability and the possibility of distraction. except in cases with direct anterior compression of the neural structures (such as herniated discs) the dorsal approach all ...20133574944
inhibition of equine neutrophil chemotaxis and chemokinesis by a taenia taeniaeformis proteinase inhibitor, taeniaestatin.taeniaestatin, a recently isolated taenia taeniaeformis proteinase inhibitor, was used to inhibit equine neutrophil migration. taeniaestatin itself was not chemotactic when used as a chemotactic factor but taeniaestatin did inhibit neutrophil chemokinesis when tested in a zigmond-hirsch checkerboard assay. a dose-dependent inhibition of both chemokinesis and chemotaxis was observed when zymosan activated bovine sera (zabs) was used as the chemotactic factor. this inhibition was greater than 95% ...19873574975
growth-associated traits in parental and f1 populations of chickens under different feeding programs. 3. eating behavior and body temperatures.in two experiments, parental populations of chickens and their f1 crosses were fed ad libitum or on alternate days. eating and drinking behaviors, ability to compensate for fasting, and surface and cloacal temperatures were measured. genetic and environmental (due to fasting) differences in feeding and drinking behaviors were found. chicks from lines selected for larger body weight were better able to compensate for a 24-hr fast than those selected for smaller weight. crosses were similar to the ...19873575234
maternal aggression towards different sized male opponents: effect of chlordiazepoxide treatment of the mothers and d-amphetamine treatment of the intruders.lactating female rats vigorously attack equally sized conspecific males introduced into their home cage. under conditions of such high aggression, the previously reported pro-aggressive action of a low (5 mg/kg) dosage of chlordiazepoxide (cdp) is hardly detectable. when opponents are large, the intensity of the aggression is less than what is seen with small ones. in this situation treatment of the females with cdp increases aggression levels substantially. the importance of intruders evoking a ...19873575374
urinary anti diuretic hormone level in essential hypertension.the present study was aimed to examine the excretory urinary anti diuretic hormone (adh) pattern in five normotensive and ten hypertensive human subjects. it was observed that essential hypertensive subjects excreted higher urinary adh 8.03 +/- 1.17 mu/hr as compared to 3.60 +/- 0.72 mu/hr the difference between the two groups being statistically significant (p less than 0.01). various renal function parameters evaluated were within normal limits. the results of this study suggest the involvemen ...19873575383

the biotransformation of thioridazine to thioridazine 5-sulfoxide stereoisomers in phenobarbital induced rats.the disposition and urinary elimination of thioridazine 5-sulfoxide (ring sulfoxide) following subacute administration of thioridazine was investigated in control and phenobarbital (pb) induced rats. the ring sulfoxide exists as two stereoisomeric pairs, identified by high performance liquid chromatography as fast eluting (rsf) and slow eluting (rss) ring sulfoxide. no major differences were detected in the distribution in serum or tissue of the ring sulfoxide between control and induced animals ...19863582423
renal oncocytoma: a true clinical entity?seven cases of renal oncocytoma, representing 4.10% of nephrectomies for tumors of the renal parenchyma between may 1978 and may 1985, are presented. from a thorough analysis of the literature and a comparison of these cases with well-differentiated, noninvasive clear-cell carcinomas, it can be concluded that renal oncocytoma is a variant of the wide spectrum of renal carcinomas. hence, its clinical and therapeutical approach must not differ from that of the rest of the parenchymatous renal tumo ...20133582457

aeromonas veronii, a new ornithine decarboxylase-positive species that may cause diarrhea.in 1983, the vernacular name enteric group 77 was coined for a group of strains that had been referred to our laboratory as "possible vibrio cholerae except for gas production." by dna-dna hybridization (hydroxyapatite, 32p), 8 of 10 strains of enteric group 77 were very highly related to the labeled strain 1169-83 (74 to 100% at 60 degrees c and 75 to 100% at 75 degrees c; percent divergence, 0.0 to 2.5). type strains of six other aeromonas species were 45 to 66% related (60 degrees c) to strai ...19873584425
the fate of the nonoperated hip in cerebral palsy.thirty-six cerebral palsied patients who underwent a unilateral operative procedure for spastic hip subluxation or dislocation were reviewed for assessment of the effect on the nonoperated hip. unilateral soft tissue procedures on patients less than 9 years of age had a definite untoward effect on the contralateral, nonoperated hip (progressive subluxation and development of a windswept pelvis deformity). the effect of unilateral bony procedures on the nonoperated hip was not statistically signi ...20123584440
[chronic salpingitis and extra-uterine pregnancy. results of the histologic study of 215 tubal pregnancies].215 women who had tubal pregnancy were treated by total salpingectomy at the university hospital port-royal between the 1st january 1977 and the 30th january 1986. all of these had histological examination of the tube in which the pregnancy occurred. our series of histological examinations confirms that tubal pregnancy occurs in the great majority of cases in a tube that is already pathological. the responsibility for tubal abnormalities in the occurrence of tubal pregnancy has been suggested by ...20133584866
