decline of maternal antibodies to plague in norway rats. | the decline of maternal antibodies to the fraciton i antigen of yersinia pestis was investigated in newly weaned rattus norvegicus obtained from dams vaccinated with strain ev76(51f) of y. pestis. iha titre decreased by 50% each 7-3 days and cf titre declined 50% each 10-0 days in young rats. an analysis of available data indicated that maternal iha and cf antibodies could persist to 3 months of age. therefore, positive serologic reactions in young r. norvegicus, detected in the course of serolo ... | 1977 | 264498 |
dentine dysplasia with sclerotic bone and skeletal anomalies inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. a new syndrome. | patients with teeth showing all of the clinical, radiographic, and histologic features of radicular dentine dysplasia (type i) have been found to have dense sclerotic bone and skeletal anomalies of the wrists and hand bones. the association of these defects of teeth and bone was found to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait over four generations. review of theliterature failed to disclose a previous description of this disorder. | 1983 | 264650 |
[sterilization in the daily dental practice]. | the author's paper, published p. 395, 1976, has been the subject of discussion. he clarifies his standpoint. sterilization by heat of dental instruments is but an element in the chain of manipulations destined to avoid infection in the operative field. while for the current instrumentation the heat treatment at 140 degrees c for 90 minutes may be considered to be sufficient, autoclave treatment is indispensable for surgical treatments. | 1993 | 265619 |

who gets care? access to health care as an arena for nursing action. | access to health care in the united states is undeniably inequitable. what should nurses do in the face of increasing gaps in availability of services? the author addresses this question by framing access to health care in its broadest sociopolitical context, positing that access to care is an essential dimension of nursing theory, research, and practice. by offering a conceptual definition of equitable access, providing rationale for the significance of this concept, and critically exploring co ... | 2005 | 1287782 |
german multicentre study on the in vitro susceptibility of bacteroides species. the german bacteroides study group. | in 1990 the first german multicentre study on the in vitro susceptibility of bacteroides species was completed. employing a commercially prepared microbroth dilution assay, nine participating institutions evaluated approximately 100 consecutive isolates of bacteroides species from relevant clinical specimens. a total of 911 strains (449 bacteroides fragilis, 201 bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, 79 bacteroides ovatus, 78 bacteroides vulgatus, 77 bacteroides distasonis, 25 bacteroides uniformis, 2 ot ... | 1992 | 1295762 |
evidence that mehp inhibits rat granulosa cell function by a protein kinase c-independent mechanism. | we have recently shown that mono-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (mehp), the active metabolite of the reproductive toxicant di-(ethylhexyl) phthalate (dehp), inhibited fsh- but not forskolin-, isoproterenol-, or cholera toxin-stimulated granulosa cell camp accumulation in vitro. in addition, mehp also inhibited fsh-stimulated progesterone production, a camp-dependent process. similar to mehp, the protein kinase c (pkc) activator, 12-0-tetradecanoyl-phorbol 13-acetate (tpa) has been shown to inhibit rat ... | 1992 | 1317232 |
antigen-receptor complex stimulation triggers protein kinase c-dependent cd11a/cd18-cytoskeleton association in t lymphocytes. | although it is well accepted that intercellular adhesion involving the cd11a/cd18 (lfa-1) complex is critical in a wide array of t cell-dependent processes, recent demonstrations of an lfa-1 high avidity state, induced by triggering the t cell receptor (tcr) complex, has raised questions about the intracellular signals generated and molecular events leading to effective cell coupling, as well as their orderly sequence. in this study, we assessed the effects of t cell activation on the actin-base ... | 2006 | 1346786 |
detubularization-induced contractile response change of the ileum following ileocystoplasty. | we reported previously that following ileocystoplasty the structure and pharmacologic response of the implanted ileum changes towards that of the bladder. specifically, the relaxation response to alpha adrenergic (methoxamine) and purinergic (atp) stimulation reverses to a contractile response one month after the ileal segment is surgically made part of the urinary bladder. the present study was designed to investigate possible signals for this change and also to determine whether bladder respon ... | 1992 | 1351953 |
sulphasalazine fails to prevent development of mucosal ulceration and 5-lipoxygenase activity in guinea-pigs with chronic inflammatory bowel disease induced by combined bacterial immunization and oral carrageenin. | a model of inflammatory bowel disease in guinea-pigs involving a 14 day initial treatment with formalin-killed bacteroides vulgatus subcutaneously and oral carrageenin plus live b. vulgatus for 10 days was used to determine the effects of sulphasalazine 100 mg kg-1 day-1 b.i.d., p.o. given for 4, 7 and 10 days after cessation of the bacterial/carrageenin treatment on the morphological and histological states of the established disease and on the production of the principal 5-lipoxygenase product ... | 1992 | 1359081 |
