molecular epidemiology of shigella infections: plasmid profiles, serotype correlation, and restriction endonuclease analysis.	plasmid isolation was used to refine the epidemiologic analysis for 168 shigellosis cases in pima county, ariz. plasmids of less than 20 kb were used for comparison of plasmid profiles. plasmid patterns for each species were distinct. a total of 57 of 74 (77%) shigella flexneri strains could be placed into seven plasmid patterns, 70 of 79 (89%) shigella sonnei strains could be placed into seven patterns, 12 shigella boydii strains could be placed into six patterns, and each of 3 shigella dysente ...	1991	1847148
absence of na+,k(+)-atpase regulation of endosomal acidification in k562 erythroleukemia cells. analysis via inhibition of transferrin recycling by low temperatures.	transferrin (tf) acidification has been shown to be limited to ph 6 in murine balb/c 3t3 fibroblasts, human a549 epidermoid carcinoma cells, and chinese hamster ovary cells and is followed by alkalinization during recycling. in contrast, tf acidification in the human erythroleukemic cell line k562 proceeds to below ph 5.5, and alkalinization of internal tf during recycling is not observed. to explore the regulation of endosomal ph in k562 cells, we determined whether the existence of an early en ...	1991	1847374
olfactory dysfunction in parkinson's disease.	an olfactory function test in 18 patients with parkinson's disease (pd) and 10 age-matched control subjects was performed. both detection and recognition thresholds were measured with five kinds of synthesized odorants (t & t olfactometry). before each test, rhinoscopic inspections were performed to exclude subjects who could have respiratory hyposmia. both detection and recognition thresholds in patients with pd were significantly elevated in comparison with those of control subjects. auditory ...	2007	1852411
perfusion characteristics of hepatic cavernous hemangioma using intravenous ct angiography (ivcta).	thirty-three patients with 35 proven hepatic cavernous hemangiomas (hch) were studied with intravenous ct angiography (ivcta). 15 scans were performed during the first 30 s after bolus (6 ml/s) injection of 50 ml iodinated contrast material. thereafter 2 scans/min were obtained up to 30 min. three criteria were utilized at ivcta to make a specific diagnosis of hch: (1) detection of an intense mural nodular enhancement in the arterial phase. the density in the nodular region(s) should have a dens ...	2007	1855518
n-nitroso compounds, genotoxins and their precursors in gastric juice from humans with and without precancerous lesions of the stomach.	we are investigating the interrelationships between levels of total n-nitroso compounds (noc), genotoxic activity (both before and after nitrosation), degree of bacterial colonization in gastric juice and degree of severity or absence of precancerous lesions of the stomach. the mean level of constitutive total noc in gastric juice was similar in the different groups of patients, but it was higher in acidic gastric juice (n = 30) than in gastric juice at ph greater than 4.5 (n = 12). acid-catalys ...	2007	1855844
replantation in children.	the authors have replanted 162 parts in 120 children over the past 15 years. the youngest patient, undergoing successful replantation, was aged 7 months, 3 weeks. unlike an adult, any child suffering a traumatic amputation should be considered for a possible replantation. replantation should consist of minimal bone shortening to preserve epiphyseal plates, with repair of all severed structures. longitudinal k-wires usually provide adequate fixation. our survival rate for complete replantation in ...	2007	1865815

simultaneous infection with multiple serotypes of shigellae in a patient.	we isolated three different serotypes of shigella on admission from a patient with dysentery as well as a shigella-like organism and campylobacter jejuni upon follow-up. the patient produced serum antibodies to all three serotypes of shigellae.	1991	1889185
["masked" autoantibodies from the serum of healthy blood donors cross-reacting with dna and bacterial lipopolysaccharides].	the "masked" autoantibodies with polyspecific activity were found in the serum of healthy donors. it is shown that these antibodies are able to react with antigens after the ion exchange chromatography with qae-sephadex. it was found that these "masked" antibodies are able to cross-react with dna and lipopolysaccharides of wide-spread species of bacteria. the possible role of these antibodies as in protection of organism from the external antigens as in the origin of autoimmune diseases is discu ...	1991	1908720
[the effect of tetracycline and vitamin e on energy metabolism in cardiac mitochondria of old rabbits pretreated with isoproterenol].	the possibility of eliminating adverse effects of tetracycline and isoproterenol pretreatment on energy generation of myocardial mitochondria by vitamin e administration was investigated in old rabbits. vitamin e administered in doses of 1.5 mg per kg body weight over 6 days was found to improve energy metabolism in old rabbits whose metabolism had been deranged by isoproterenol pretreatment in the dose of 1.5 mg per kg body weight. subsequent administration of vitamin e to rabbits pretreated wi ...	1991	1913199
[mr tomography of aneurysmal bone cyst].	the preoperative findings of magnetic resonance imaging (mri) in six histology-proven aneurysmal bone cysts (abc) are examined and compared with previous publications concerning mri of abc. the signal intensities differ considerably, and not all of our cases conform with the literature data. they can be summarised in three different subheadings: one form that is very inhomogeneous in t1- and t2-weighting, with fluid-fluid levels in the cystic spaces; one intermediate form without fluid-fluid lev ...	2007	1932722
reactive modifications of the autonomous time structure in the human organism.	the spectrum of biological rhythms exhibits characteristic principles of biological time structure which also rule the functional behaviour. with increasing period lengths the rhythms become increasingly complex. in the long-wave section the rhythmic functions find their corresponding cycles in the environment, whereas the shorter waves represent only endogenous autonomous rhythms, which maintain an internal time order by means of frequency- and phase-coordination. under resting conditions and i ...	1991	1932773

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 ...	2007	1976440
pathogenicity of foodborne salmonella.	salmonella remains a leading etiological agent in bacterial foodborne diseases. although human salmonellosis generally presents as a self-limiting episode of enterocolitis, the disease can degenerate into chronic and debilitating conditions. antibiotic treatment of uncomplicated salmonellosis is contra-indicated because it tends to prolong the carrier state. clinical management of systemic infections with newer drugs such as third-generation cephalosporins and quinolones is most promising, parti ...	1991	2018704
four decades of shigellosis in israel: epidemiology of a growing public health problem.	despite the improved standard of living in israel, shigellosis remains a common disease. examination of trends in the incidence of shigellosis in israel between 1951 and 1987 showed a period of declining rates followed by an increase in the reported incidence beginning around 1969. this increase was mainly due to shigella sonnei; rates of infection with shigella flexneri remained relatively constant. trends showed marked differences between age groups and between ethnic groups. in comparison, th ...	1991	2041956
a weak adaptive response to alkylation damage in salmonella typhimurium.	an efficient adaptive response to alkylation damage was observed in several enterobacterial species, including klebsiella aerogenes, shigella sonnei, shigella boydii, escherichia alkalescens, escherichia hermanii, and escherichia fergusonii. increased o6-methylguanine-dna and methylphosphotriester-dna methyltransferase activities correlated with the induction of a 39-kda protein recognized by monoclonal antibodies raised against the escherichia coli ada protein. induced methyltransferase activit ...	1991	2050626
site-specific recombinase genes in three shigella subgroups and nucleotide sequences of a pinb gene and an invertible b segment from shigella boydii.	inversional switching systems in procaryotes are composed of an invertible dna segment and a site-specific recombinase gene adjacent to or contained in the segment. four related but functionally distinct systems have previously been characterized in detail: the salmonella typhimurium h segment-hin gene (h-hin), phage mu g-gin, phage p1 c-cin, and escherichia coli e14 p-pin. in this article we report the isolation and characterization of three new recombinase genes: pinb, pind, and defective pinf ...	1991	2061288
[directions of an ethic in genetic engineering: evaluation of an ethic for biotechnology].	a fundamentalistic point of view is for the evaluation of genetic engineering inadequate. using ethics to evaluate the consequences is not valid for gene transfers across species as a morally relevant criterion but is rather the assessment of toxic, pathogenic, and ecological effects of transgenic organisms. a criterion for human genetics is not the inviolability of the human embryo, but social and human tolerance and the consent of the affected.	1990	2074899
