enhanced interstitial fluid adenosine attenuates myocardial stunning.reversible myocardial dysfunction associated with transient ischemia has been termed the stunned myocardium. because exogenous adenosine has been shown to protect the ischemic myocardium, we hypothesized that augmentation of endogenous adenosine levels would attenuate myocardial stunning. to induce stunning, anesthetized dogs were subjected to 15 minutes of ischemia (left anterior descending artery occlusion) followed by 60 minutes of reperfusion. erythro-9-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl) adenine (ehna; 5 m ...19911858025
ultrastructural localization of the pasteurella multocida toxin in a toxin-producing strain.toxigenic strains of pasteurella multocida produce the 147 kda protein pasteurella multocida toxin (pmt) which is responsible for the osteoclastic bone resorption in progressive atrophic rhinitis in pigs and induces such resorption in all experimental animals tested so far. in the present study we have carried out immunocytochemistry on formaldehyde- and glutaraldehyde-fixed ultracryocut p. multocida using a pool of monoclonal antibodies against different epitopes on pmt as the first layer and a ...19911865180
thyroid crisis associated with severe hypocalcemia.a 30-year-old woman with thyroid crisis and impaired renal function presented with severe hypocalcemia. she had already had hypocalcemia one yr previously when her serum creatinine level was normal. a normal level of serum amino terminal fragment of parathyroid hormone in spite of severe hypocalcemia suggested impairment of parathyroid function. since her serum magnesium was normal and she had no history of neck surgery or radioiodine therapy, her hypoparathyroidism was considered to be idiopath ...20071865592
two cases of fetal akinesia/hypokinesia sequence.two cases of fetal akinesia sequence are described. both showed facial anomalies, arthrogryposis multiplex, bilateral camptodactyly, and pulmonary hypoplasia. one child had degeneration of large motor neurons of the thoracolumbosacral spinal cord and irregular atrophy of diaphragm; the other had left microphthalmia, hemiatrophy of the left temporal lobe with calcification of degenerated neurons, and hypoplasia of the cervothoracic spinal cord with decrease and degeneration of neurons. the iliops ...20021866365

meningitis from canine pasteurella multocida following mastoidectomy.a case of pasteurella multocida meningitis, following a mastoidectomy is presented. the association of close contact with pets, many of which harbour pasteurella multocida as part of their normal buccal flora. this case confirms the potential benefit of taking an ear swab prior to mastoid surgery and in seeking an appropriate 'pet' history.19911875142
high risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix for women with hla-dqw3.many immune responses are controlled by genes of the major histocompatibility complex (mhc). in man these include the loci encoding the hla-a, -b, -c, -dr, -dq and -dp antigens, and many diseases have been linked with these. but attempts to identify hla genes in man that might explain why an immune response against malignant tumours should be ineffective have so far been disappointing, apart from the association reported between the hla-dr1 antigen and a susceptibility to a rare carcinoma of the ...19911876187
acetylcholinesterase from schistosoma mansoni: immunological characterization.the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (ache) is present in the trematode schistosoma mansoni, which infects humans and causes a severe disease called schistosomiasis or bilharzia. we have purified this enzyme and raised polyclonal antibodies against it. the specificity of these antibodies against the schistosome enzyme was demonstrated by their capacity to precipitate exclusively ache activity from cercariae extract and to recognize the 8s molecular form of the parasite's ache. on the other hand, they ...19911885212
the protein sequence responsible for lipoprotein membrane localization in escherichia coli exhibits remarkable specificity.structural information defining an n-terminal sequence required for the membrane sorting of bacterial lipoproteins has been previously garnered through the study of a hybrid outer membrane (om) lipo-beta-lactamase (ll) (ghrayeb and inouye (1984) j. biol. chem. 259, 463-467). introduction of an aspartate as the second residue of mature ll (d2 mutant) causes an inner membrane (im) localization of this protein (yamaguchi, k., yu, f., and inouye, m. (1988) cell 53, 423-432). introduction of as aspar ...19911885579
detection and enumeration of toxin-producing pasteurella multocida with a colony-blot assay.colonies of toxin-producing pasteurella multocida were detected with peroxidase-labeled monoclonal antibodies by a membrane assay. examination of the specificity of the assay with 29 p. multocida cultures representing various geographic origins, hosts, and serotypes indicated that the test was specific for toxin-producing strains. no cross-reactions were observed with bordetella species that can be associated with p. multocida in producing diseases in animals. a single membrane could be used to ...19911885729
pasteurella haemolytica endocarditis.although human infections with bacteraemia due to pasteurella multocida are not uncommon, endocarditis associated with p. haemolytica is rare. we describe such a case in which the patient died despite treatment with apparently appropriate antimicrobial agents.19911885915
relationship between the iron regulated outer membrane proteins and the outer membrane proteins of in vivo grown pasteurella multocida.the sds-page patterns of the outer membrane protein (omp) extracts of pasteurella multocida strain p1059, grown under iron-restricted, iron-replete and in vivo conditions, were examined. the results showed that the iron-regulated outer membrane proteins (iromps) with molecular masses of 76 kda, 84 kda, and 94 kda were expressed by bacteria grown in iron-restricted media. they were also expressed by in vivo grown p. multocida. convalescent-phase sera, obtained from turkeys which had survived past ...19911887567
toxigenic pasteurella multocida in rabbits with naturally occurring atrophic rhinitis.in a commercial rabbitry nasal swabs were taken from 36 animals with enzootic upper respiratory disease resembling porcine atrophic rhinitis. 35 pasteurella multocida strains were isolated from 17 rabbits. among 30 strains tested for dermonecrotic toxin production 3, derived from 3 animals, were positive in the guinea pig skin test. 15 bordetella bronchiseptica strains were recovered from 14 rabbits. no toxigenic strains were found among 6 isolates tested using the same method.19911887698
pasteurella multocida septicaemia in fallow deer (dama dama).thirteen of 100 fallow deer, aged between 6 months and 10 years, died over a 5 week period. the deaths occurred in 2 outbreaks 3 weeks apart. both outbreaks were preceded by at least 3 days of cold wet and windy weather, and were associated with water-logged pastures. affected animals were usually found dead, with a frothy blood-stained nasal discharge. in the 8 deer necropsied, gross lesions included widespread subserosal petechial haemorrhages, severe pulmonary congestion and oedema with froth ...19911888312

haemorrhagic septicaemia: correlation of vaccinal antibody responses in mice with protection against pasteurella multocida strain m1404.this study examined the protection induced by oil adjuvant vaccine and broth bacterin in mice. protective immunity was induced by both oil adjuvant and bacterin vaccination procedures. oil adjuvant vaccination induced a 10(5)-fold increase for lethal challenge over control mice, while secondary vaccination induced a further 10-fold increase in resistance to lethal challenge. broth bacterin induced a slightly weaker protective response with 10(4)- and 10(5)-fold increases in resistance to lethal ...19911909067
elective oral tracheal intubation in cervical spine-injured adults.there is controversy regarding the optimal mode of elective tracheal intubation in the patient with an unstable cervical spine following trauma. a ten-year review of 150 patients with traumatic cervical spine injuries with well-preserved neurological function, presenting for operative stabilization, was conducted to compare neurological outcome with the mode of tracheal intubation. preoperative neurological deficits were identified in 49 patients (33%); most were single-level radiculopathies. in ...20071914066
coronary vasospasm as a potential cause of myocardial infarction and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in a relatively young woman.vasospasm-related myocardial infarction in young women with normal coronary arteries has infrequently been reported and vasospasm-related paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (paf) has rarely been described. we present a 33-year-old woman with old inferior myocardial infarction and postinfarction angina at rest; the angina was accompanied by paf and electrocardiographic st-segment elevation in the inferior leads. coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries and intracoronary acetylcholine pr ...20071914277
the effect of extraarticular varus and valgus deformity on total knee arthroplasty.because of trauma, metabolic bone disease, congenital deformity, or prior osteotomy, an extraarticular deformity may be present in patients requiring total knee arthroplasty. if the extraarticular deformity is not corrected extraarticularly, it must be corrected by compensatory distal femoral or proximal tibial wedge resection to produce overall limb alignment. because such a wedge resection between the proximal and distal attachments of the collateral ligaments will produce asymmetrical ligamen ...20071914313
[anticardiolipin antibody in cerebral infarction].we investigated the anticardiolipin antibody (aca) in a series of patients with cerebral infarction without systemic lupus erythematosus (sla). clinical and laboratory data were assessed from a series of 250 non-sle patients with cerebral infarction who visited our clinic from 1988 to 1990. the concentration of anticardiolipin igg antibody was measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique. an elevated aca level was defined as one which was greater than 3 standard deviations above th ...20071914323
structural and functional relationships between pasteurella multocida and enterobacterial adenylate cyclases.the pasteurella multocida adenylate cyclase gene has been cloned and expressed in escherichia coli. the primary structure of the protein (838 amino acids) deduced from the corresponding nucleotide sequence was compared with that of e. coli. the two enzymes have similar molecular sizes and, based on sequence conservation at the protein level, are likely to be organized in two functional domains: the amino-terminal catalytic domain and the carboxy-terminal regulatory domain. it was shown that p. m ...19911917858
epizootiology of avian cholera in wildfowl.pasteurella multocida, the cause of avian cholera, has naturally infected over 100 species of free-living birds. among wild birds, avian cholera has its greatest impact on north american wildfowl. epizootics usually are explosive in onset and may involve thousands of birds. the disease has been reported in every month of the year among wildfowl. disproportionate mortality, with some species suffering proportionately greater mortality than others, has been a common feature of this disease. presen ...19911920657

evidence that arachidonic acid influences hen granulosa cell steroidogenesis and plasminogen activator activity by a protein kinase c-independent mechanism.we recently proposed that arachidonic acid serves as a second messenger within granulosa cells from the largest preovulatory follicle of the hen. the present studies were conducted to determine whether the inhibitory effects of arachidonic acid on lh-induced camp accumulation and on the ability of cells to convert 25-hydroxycholesterol to progesterone are mediated via the protein kinase c pathway. furthermore, we determined the effects of arachidonic acid on plasminogen activator activity in gra ...19901963326
h(+)-stimulated release of prostaglandin e2 and cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphoric acid and their relationship to bone resorption in neonatal mouse calvaria cultures.the addition of protons to the medium of neonatal mouse calvaria cultures stimulated bone resorption and release of calcium into the medium. in addition, added protons significantly increased the release of prostaglandin e2 (pge2) and cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphoric acid (camp) from the bones. indomethacin significantly inhibited the release of calcium, pge2 and camp from proton-treated cultures. the positive control, parathyroid hormone (pth)-treated cultures, also gave rise to bone resor ...19901964815
drug-susceptibility and isolation of a plasmid in haemophilus (actinobacillus) pleuropneumoniae.we isolated 56 haemophilus (actinobacillus) pleuropneumoniae strains from the pneumonic porcine lung tissues and tested them for antimicrobial susceptibility. two drug-resistant strains were obtained. one, named kh-265, was resistant to streptomycin (sm) and sulfonamide (sa), and the other, named kh-195, was resistant to tetracycline (tc). the minimum inhibitory concentrations (mics) of drugs for resistant strains were 100 micrograms/mliters for sm, 3200 micrograms/mliters for sa, and 12.5 micro ...19901968988
inhibition by anti-cd2 monoclonal antibodies of anti-cd3-induced t cell-dependent b cell activation.anti-cd3 mab can activate t cells to help in b cell activation as detected by late events, such as maturation of b cells into ig-secreting cells (igsc), or by early events, such as b cell surface expression of the activation marker cd23. two different anti-cd2 mab each inhibited anti-cd3-induced t cell-dependent b cell activation in a dose-dependent fashion. neither irradiation of the t cells prior to culture nor depletion of cd8+ cells abrogated the inhibitory effects of anti-cd2 mab. despite t ...20071976440
