evaluation of the rapid id 32a system for the identification of bacteroides fragilis and related organisms.this study evaluated the ability of a rapid identification system for anaerobic bacteria, atb 32a, now renamed rapid id 32a (api-biomérieux uk ltd., basingstoke), to identify accurately 74 strains of the 'b. fragilis group'. atb 32a identified correctly 78.4% of strains to species level, without supplemental tests. the percentage of strains identified to species level rose to 94.6% when a supplementary test (advised by biomérieux) for catalase production was used to differentiate between bactero ...19911960112
the role of alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor subtypes in mediating the effects of catecholamines on fasting glucose and insulin concentrations in the rat.1. the role of alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor subtypes in the regulation of plasma glucose and immunoreactive insulin (iri) levels has been investigated in normal conscious fasted rats by employing selective agonists and antagonists. 2. adrenaline (0.2 mg kg-1)-induced hyperglycaemia was abolished by the selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor antagonist idazoxan (1.0 mg kg-1), unaltered by non-selective beta-adrenoceptor blockade (propranolol, 1.0 mg kg-1) and potentiated by the selective alpha 1-adrenoce ...19901976400
plasmid transformation of bacteroides spp. by electroporation.transformation of bacteroides spp. with a variety of plasmid dnas was accomplished using electroporation. the standard transformation assay system used to deduce the optimal electroporation parameters employed a 50-to 100-fold concentrated cell suspension of mid-logarithmic phase bacteroides fragilis strain 638 and the 5.4-kb clindamycin resistance (ccr) vector, pbi191. a variety of electroporation buffers were used successfully in transformation experiments but of these, 1 mm mgcl2 in 10% glyce ...19902096397
gender difference in the risk factors for sudden cardiac death.sudden cardiac death is most often caused by ventricular dysrhythmias. although women have an incidence of sudden death lower than that of men, 34% of coronary deaths in women are sudden deaths. the atherogenic risk factors do not predict which women are at the highest risk of sudden cardiac death. left ventricular hypertrophy is a strong risk factor for sudden cardiac death in women. asymptomatic ventricular dysrhythmias, a risk factor for death after myocardial infarction in men, do not increa ...19942142895
role of bacteroides uniformis in susceptibility of ta:cf# 1 mice to infection by treponema hyodysenteriae.among the various strains and colonies of mice tested specific-pathogen-free (spf) ta:cf#1 mice exhibited the highest susceptibility to treponema hyodysenteriae infection. staphylococcus epidermidis 1047, streptococcus faecalis 2039, lactobacillus murinus 3010, escherichia coli 1049, and bacteroides thetaiotaomicron 3008 were administered to the ta:cf#1 mice. b. uniformis ik, which appeared to colonize in the breeding facility under spf conditions, was isolated from the cecal content of a ta:cf# ...19902148089
a cryptic 65-kilobase-pair transposonlike element isolated from bacteroides uniformis has homology with bacteroides conjugal tetracycline resistance elements.a 65-kilobase-pair element, xbu4422, which has some transposonlike characteristics but carries no known antibiotic resistance genes, has been isolated from bacteroides uniformis 0061. xbu4422 was trapped on bacteroides-escherichia coli shuttle vectors during experiments in which one of the conjugal bacteroides tetracycline resistance (tcr) elements was being used to mobilize the shuttle vectors to bacteroides recipients. results of southern hybridization experiments showed that xbu4422 is normal ...19902156799
the region of a bacteroides conjugal chromosomal tetracycline resistance element which is responsible for production of plasmidlike forms from unlinked chromosomal dna might also be involved in transfer of the element.large (greater than 50 kilobases) conjugal chromosomal tetracycline resistance (tcr) elements have been found in many human colonic bacteroides strains. recently, n. b. shoemaker and a. a. salyers (j. bacteriol, 170:1651-1657, 1988) reported that some of these tcr elements appeared to mediate production of plasmidlike forms, nbu1 and nbu2, from an unlinked region of the chromosome of bacteroides uniformis 0061. production of the plasmidlike forms and the transfer frequency of the tcr elements we ...19902165473

grading white matter lesions on ct and mri: a simple scale.we developed and tested a simple three-point scale for grading white matter lesions in anterior and posterior regions of the brain. twenty four ct scans and 24 mri scans were separately judged by 11 and five observers, respectively, on the presence and severity of white matter lesions. the observers were radiologists and neurologists. for ct scans, these periventricular changes were graded according to their extent as absent, or partly involving the white matter, or extending up to the subcortic ...20082292703
heterologous expression of the bacteroides ruminicola xylanase gene in bacteroides fragilis and bacteroides uniformis.a cloned xylanase gene from the ruminal bacterium bacteroides ruminicola 23 was transferred by conjugation into the colonic species bacteroides fragilis and bacteroides uniformis by using the escherichia coli-bacteroides shuttle vector pval-1. the cloned gene was expressed in both species, and xylanase specific activity in crude extracts was found to be at least 1400-fold greater than that found in the b. ruminicola strain. analysis of crude extract proteins from the recombinant b. fragilis by s ...19902323546
neurocristopathy syndrome: review of four cases.aberrant embryologic development of the neural crest may clinically result in one of several patterns of malformation. four examples of the neurocristopathy syndrome are described that collectively feature a very broad range of expression in these infants. because of the many expressions, the syndrome may not be recognized. we believe that greater familiarity with the disorder will aid in the discovery of unsuspected anomalies and provide clues about predisposing etiologies.20082359735
effects of serum testosterone level with buserelin on the activities of drug and testosterone hydroxylase and on the content of a male-specific form of cytochrome p-450 in male rats.the effects of administration of buserelin, a synthetic agonist of lutenizing hormone-releasing hormone (lh-rh), on the content of p-450-male, a male specific form of cytochrome p-450, and the activities of drug and testosterone hydroxylases were examined in liver microsomes of male rats. administration of buserelin resulted in a decrease in the serum level of testosterone in a dose-dependent manner. similar decreases were seen in the activities of aminopyrine n-demethylase, 7-propoxycoumarin o- ...19892492807
morphological response of mycoplasma to fleroxacin.quinolones exhibit partially reduced activity in vitro against genital mycoplasma. therefore, the morphological response to fleroxacin, a difluorinated quinolone, by mycoplasma hominis was studied. even at subinhibitory concentrations the ultrastructural investigations revealed distinct alterations such as cytolysis, vacuole and cell "ghost" formation. the typical dumbbell-shaped cells observed with monofluorinated compounds were not found, which may indicate a qualitatively different mode of ac ...19892515157
infective endocarditis in children. a seven-year experience.eighteen children with infective endocarditis were detected over seven years. fever, gastrointestinal and chest symptoms were striking features. anaemia, elevated leukocyte count and sedimentation rate were constant laboratory findings. strep. viridans and staph. aureus were the commonest organisms isolated. we concluded that rheumatic and congenital heart disease are equally important in predisposition to infective endocarditis.20082519331
evidence that sindbis virus nsp2 is an autoprotease which processes the virus nonstructural polyprotein.the four nonstructural proteins (nsp1-4) of sindbis virus, a member of the togaviridae family, are initially expressed from the 5' segment of the single-stranded genomic (+)rna as a polyprotein which is subsequently proteolytically processed. in attempts to identify the protease acting on this nonstructural polyprotein, we established a coupled in polyprotein, we established a coupled in vitro transcription-translation system which was able to faithfully process the major polyprotein when an mrn ...19892525839

design, expression, and crystallization of recombinant lectin from the garden pea (pisum sativum).the propeptide form of the lectin from the garden pea (pisum sativum agglutinin) has been expressed in escherichia coli by attaching its cdna to an inducible promoter. by a number of criteria, including the ability to form dimers, hemagglutination titer, western blot, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the resulting propeptide molecule is virtually indistinguishable from the mature proteolytically processed lectin isolated from peas. preliminary crystallization experiments using the recombin ...19892708344
protein kinase c is activated in glomeruli from streptozotocin diabetic rats. possible mediation by glucose.glomerular inositol content and the turnover of polyphosphoinositides was reduced by 58% in 1-2 wk streptozotocin diabetic rats. addition of inositol to the incubation medium increased polyphosphoinositide turnover in glomeruli from diabetic rats to control values. despite the reduction in inositol content and polyphosphoinositide turnover, protein kinase c was activated in glomeruli from diabetic rats, as assessed by an increase in the percentage of enzyme activity associated with the particula ...19892708528
use of the glucose oxidase/peroxidase method for glucose assay leads to overestimation of the inhibition of gluconeogenesis by aminopyrine.4-aminoantipyrine strongly inhibits glucose determination by the glucose oxidase/peroxidase/dianisidine assay but does not interfere in the assay using glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase and atp. as a result, the inhibition of gluconeogenesis by aminopyrine reported to be 50-90% (bánhegyi, g., mandl, j., antoni, f. and garzó, t. (1987) biochim. biophys. acta 927, 406-416) is strongly overestimated and amounts to only 10-30%.19892713417

[electron microscopy and histochemical studies of the origin and function of myoepithelioid cells in glomangioma and peripheral barrier arteries].epithelioid cells (myoepithelioid cells, glomus cells) are a structural element characteristic of hoyer-grosser shunts (glomus organs, arterio-venous epithelioid cell glomerula) and bailey's glomangioma (masson's angio-neuromyome-artériel, glomus tumors). their functional importance cannot be estimated without knowledge of their histogenetic origin. the myoepithelioid cells are derived from smooth muscle cells, which can be shown ultrastructurally, histochemically, or by light microscopy.20103020817
u3 sequences from htlv-i and -ii ltrs confer px protein response to a murine leukemia virus ltr.human t-cell leukemia virus (htlv) types i and ii are unusual among replication-competent retroviruses in that they contain a fourth gene (chi) necessary for replication. the chi gene product, p chi, transcriptionally transactivates the viral long repeat (ltr), and is thus a positive regulator. to investigate p chi transactivation, sequences from the u3 regions of the ltrs of htlv-i and -ii were inserted into the moloney murine leukemia virus (m-mulv) ltr by recombinant dna techniques. transient ...19873027896
facilitated transfer of incp beta r751 derivatives from the chromosome of bacteroides uniformis to escherichia coli recipients by a conjugative bacteroides tetracycline resistance element.the broad-host-range incp beta plasmid r751 can mobilize itself from escherichia coli to bacteroides spp, but it is not maintained in bacteroides spp. if r751 carries the bacteroides transposon tn4351, it can be integrated into the bacteroides chromosome. previously we showed that r751, integrated in the chromosome of bacteroides uniformis, cannot mobilize itself out of b. uniformis into e. coli or isogenic b. uniformis strains. in this report, we showed that if the bacteroides conjugative tetra ...19873036772
lipid and lipoprotein effects on endothelial eicosanoid formation.an important function of endothelium is to release pgi2, a prostaglandin produced from arachidonic acid that prevents platelet aggregation and causes arterial relaxation. small amounts of other eicosanoids also are produced, but their role in endothelial function has not been elucidated. much of the arachidonic acid present in the endothelium is obtained preformed from the plasma, either as ffa or from lipoproteins. arachidonic acid is efficiently incorporated into endothelial lipids even when o ...20113061005
the 12-hour control of intraocular pressure on carteolol 2% twice daily.in a 15-week double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover study both carteolol 2% and timolol 0.5% produced a significant reduction in intraocular pressure. twelve hours after administration the reduction in pressure on carteolol was significantly less than that obtained on timolol.20113067744

antiimmunoglobulin-treated b cells respond to a b cell differentiation factor for igg1.we have determined whether b cells previously activated by anti-ig (anti-ig blasts) are responsive to lymphokines that induce isotype switching. culture of anti-ig blasts with a mixture of lymphokines, including bsf-1, resulted in marked secretion of igm and igg1, but not other igg isotypes. the igg1 response of anti-ig blasts to lymphokines was 13-fold greater than was observed with splenic b cells. b cell blasts induced by 8-mercaptoguanosine or dextran sulfate did not secrete high levels of a ...20113088197

cerebral perfusion pressure: a hemodynamic mechanism of mannitol and the postmannitol hemogram.sixteen patients each received infusions of 1 g of mannitol per kg over 5 to 10 minutes, and serial determinations of intracranial pressure (icp), systemic arterial blood pressure (sabp), central venous pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure (cpp), hematocrit, hemoglobin, serum na+, k+, osmolarity, and fluid balance were carried out for 4 hours. urine output was replaced volume for volume with 5% dextrose in 0.45% nacl solution. we tested the hypothesis that patients with high (greater than or eq ...20103116451
the inhibition by valproic acid of the mitochondrial oxidation of monocarboxylic and omega-hydroxymonocarboxylic acids: possible implications for the metabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid.the interactions of 1-5 mm valproic acid with the hepatic fatty acid oxidation are here described. valproic acid was not substrate for hepatic peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation. its activation outside the mitochondrial matrix compartment was poor when compared to that of octanoic acid, a fatty acid containing the same number of carbones. valproic acid did not inhibit the fatty acyl-coa oxidase nor the cyanide-insensitive acyl-coa oxidation. valproic acid inhibited the mitochondrial oxidations of ...19873117781

intravenous immune globulin in symptomatic paediatric human immunodeficiency virus infection.seven paediatric patients with symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection were prospectively studied for 6-24 months after the start of intravenous immune globulin (ivig) therapy. there was substantial clinical benefit during ivig treatment with marked reduction of febrile and infectious episodes, normalization of physical and psychomotor development, and absence of mortality. the immunologic monitoring revealed some discrete objective improvements. the results of this study favour ...19883134244
intercalary heterochromatin in drosophila. iii. homology between dna sequences from the y chromosome, bases of polytene chromosome limbs, and chromosome 4 of d. melanogaster.molecular and cytogenetic characteristics are given of a 2846 bp dna sequence from the ydm12 clone, previously derived from the long arm of the drosophila melanogaster y chromosome. sequence analysis revealed within it a 1176 bp fragment with 37 bp terminal inverted repeats, flanked by 6 bp direct repeats. this fragment (called "element 1360") appeared to be a-t rich, and was saturated with short direct and inverted repeats of different degrees of homology and consensus sequences for transcripti ...20113146482
