professional ideology and the health care system in chile.doctors' ideology and the role the medical profession plays in the organization and development of health services of a particular country are subjects of scientific interest. this article examines the case of chile, where doctors centralized administrative and professional power over the type of health services provided to the population. changes in this ideology throughout the century have been reflected in changes in the system of medical care. a shift can be traced from a professional ideolo ...1978422300
high pressure liquid chromatographic determination of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons in oysters.a high pressure liquid chromatographic (hplc) procedure is described for determining 13 polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (pna) compounds in oysters at the 2 ppb level. these compounds are extracted from shellfish with acetonitrile and partitioned into petroleum ether; the petroleum ether is removed and the residue is saponified. the aromatic compounds are isolated by passing the saponifeid residue through silica gel and further purified and fractionated by mustyragel gel permeation chromatograph ...1972422502
comparison of the membrane composition of spiroplasma citri and the corn stunt spiroplasma.components of membranes isolated from spiroplasma citri and corn stunt spiroplasma grown at 28 degrees c were analyzed. on a protein basis, lipid phosphorus was lower and cholesterol was higher in s. citri. only minor differences between the two species were found in fatty acid composition, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide diaphorase, and adenosine triphosphatase.1979422510

the double-membrane break syndrome in sudden hearing loss.some patients with sudden hearing loss actually have two membrane breaks, one at the oval or round window and one further inside the cochlea. one may heal spontaneously and the other not, or both, or neither. it is very likely impossible to detect this early from the threshold audiogram, because the intracochlear breaks allows endolymph and perilymph mixing which spreads over much of the anatomically normal clchlea causing diffuse loss of function. this theory is illustrated by three case histor ...1985423653

factors contributing to resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics in bacteroides fragilis.fifteen strains of bacteroides fragilis, five highly resistant, five moderately resistant, and five susceptible to benzylpenicillin and cephaloridine, were tested for beta-lactamase production. in the highly resistant and the moderately resistant groups of strains, a correlation between formation of beta-lactamase and minimal inhibitory concentrations was demonstrated. in the presence of the beta-lactamase inhibitors clavulanic acid and cp-45,899 at concentrations of 1 mug/ml, the susceptibility ...1979426517
hr 756, a new cephalosporin active against gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and anaerobic bacteria.the in vitro activity of hr 756, 7-[2-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-2-(z)-(methoximino)acetamido] cephalosporanic acid, was investigated against 659 isolates. hr 756 inhibited neisseria and haemophilus species at concentrations similar to those needed with ampicillin. it inhibited beta-lactamase-producing n. gonorrhoeae and h. influenzae. hr 756 was the most active compound tested against members of the enterobacteriaceae, inhibiting most isolates of escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, proteus mira ...1979426518

n,n-dimethylformamide-induced alteration of cell culture characteristics and loss of tumorigenicity in cultured human colon carcinoma cells.human colon carcinoma cell lines established in this laboratory were treated in vitro with n,n-dimethylformamide. this polar solvent caused morphological changes in the cells as well as alterations in their growth properties. untreated cells had cloning efficiencies of up to 77% in soft agar; treatment with n,n-dimethylformamide resulted in a complete loss of clonogenicity in semisolid medium. growth in the presence of the polar solvent also effected a marked reduction in the tumorigenicity of t ...1979427742
incidence and pathological features of spontaneous tumors in athymic nude mice.systematic observation of 1141 nude mice (swiss background [corrected] strain) that received human tumor transplants revealed 24 spontaneous tumors, 18 of lymphoreticular origin and 6 pulmonary adenomas. spontaneous tumors were seen at an average age of 9.1 months, and 22 of the tumors were seen only in that fraction of our group (324 mice) surviving for 5 months or more (22 of 324 x 100 = 6.8%). transplantation of these tumors to other nude mice was successful in three of five cases. mice trans ...1979427772
