dna binding by 1-nitropyrene and 1,6-dinitropyrene in vitro and in vivo: effects of nitroreductase induction.	1-nitropyrene, the predominant nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon found in diesel exhaust, is a mutagen and tumorigen. 1,6-dinitropyrene is present in diesel exhaust in much smaller quantities than 1-nitropyrene, but is much more mutagenic and carcinogenic. in an attempt to understand this difference in biological potencies, we have compared the extent of dna binding by these two nitropyrenes in vivo. we have also determined the effect of 1-nitropyrene pretreatment upon the induction of nitror ...	1988	3345577
electron microscope radioautographic evidence of in vivo androgen-binding protein internalization in the rat epididymis principal cells.	the androgen-binding protein (abp) has been purified from rat testes with a yield of 14% using four steps of hplc and was subsequently iodinated to a specific activity of 0.1 mci/mg protein. using a micromanipulator, [125i] iodo-abp-dihydrotestosterone was injected intraluminally into the proximal caput of the rat epididymis. epididymides were sampled from 3 to 120 min after the injection of the tracer and processed for transmission electron microscopy autoradiography. our results showed the acc ...	1988	3345715
genital tumors: their management by micrographic surgery.	genital tumors represent a special group requiring effective and curative treatment while functional and cosmetic demands require tissue sparing techniques. for these reasons, micrographic surgery is indicated. over the past 5 years we have treated 24 such patients utilizing standard techniques for micrographic surgery. the patient population included twenty male and four female patients with ages ranging from 27 to 80 years. histologically confirmed diagnoses included squamous cell carcinoma, b ...	2012	3346395

smooth muscle tumours of the digestive tract: report of 160 cases.	of 160 patients seen in the period 1951-84 with smooth muscle tumours of the digestive tract, 71 proved to have leiomyomas, 87 had leiomyosarcomas and 2 had leiomyoblastomas. tumour diameter was frequently greater in patients with leiomyosarcoma. the surgical mortality was 2.8 per cent after treatment of leiomyoma and 10.3 per cent after treatment of leiomyosarcoma. after resection of leiomyosarcoma the 2-year survival rate was 86 per cent and the 5-year survival rate was 43 per cent. the only h ...	2012	3349313
regional blood flows by the microsphere method: reproducibility in portal hypertensive rats and influence of a portal vein catheter.	to determine the reproducibility of splanchnic blood flow measurements by the microsphere method in rats with portal hypertension and the effects of laparotomy with portal vein cannulation, eight groups of 10 rats were studied. cardiac output and regional blood flows were measured twice, 10 min apart, in pentobarbital anesthetized or awake, sham-operated or portal vein-ligated rats, with or without portal cannulation. variability between the two successive measurements was not affected by portal ...	1988	3353395

renal artery reconstruction: extended indications.	renal artery reconstruction has traditionally been limited to cases of documented renal artery hypertension. we report our experience with renal artery reconstruction on 32 arteries in 23 patients over a three-year period. these procedures were done for renovascular hypertension in nine patients, for renal preservation in seven patients, and concomitantly with aortic reconstruction in seven patients. aortorenal bypass was the primary method of reconstruction, with thromboendarterectomy, primary ...	2012	3358165
near-total gastric necrosis caused by acute gastric dilatation.	gastric dilatation caused by psychogenic polyphagia or bulimia may, under extreme circumstances, progress to total gastric necrosis. we have described a patient in whom acute abdominal symptoms and signs developed while he was receiving psychiatric treatment. laparotomy showed massive gastric dilatation with near-total infarction. total gastrectomy with cervical esophagostomy, feeding and decompressing jejunostomies, and wide drainage of the gastric bed were done. after staged reconstruction, re ...	2012	3358178

purification and characterization of a family of high molecular weight surface-array proteins from campylobacter fetus.	a variety of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria possess crystalline surface layers, although little is known of their function. we previously have shown that the high molecular weight surface-array proteins of campylobacter fetus are important in both the pathogenicity and antigenicity of this organism. for biochemical and immunological characterization, we purified high molecular weight (100,000, 127,000, 149,000) surface-array proteins from three c. fetus strains using sequential gel fil ...	1988	3360785
mittelmeier ceramic total hip arthroplasty. a retrospective study.	ceramic, featuring low reactivity and excellent durability, is an excellent material for biologic implant. the authors studied the mittelmeier ceramic total hip prosthesis in 62 patients (69 hips), with an average follow-up period for the surviving cases of 37.6 months (sd = 9.04; range, 24-52 months). as a result of aseptic loosening, 19 cases (27%) were revised, with an average time to revision of 26.2 months (sd = 8.8; range, 14-38 months). proper femoral interference fit, measured as 90% of ...	2012	3361325
