cloning, sequencing, and expression of the p-protein gene (phea) of pseudomonas stutzeri in escherichia coli: implications for evolutionary relationships in phenylalanine biosynthesis.	the phea gene encoding the bifunctional p-protein (chorismate mutase:prephenate dehydratase) was cloned from pseudomonas stutzeri and sequenced. this is the first gene of phenylalanine biosynthesis to be cloned and sequenced from pseudomonas. the phea gene was expressed in escherichia coli, allowing complementation of an e. coli phea auxotroph. the enzymic and physical properties of the p-protein from a recombinant e. coli auxotroph expressing the phea gene were identical to those of the native ...	1991	1919506
experimental infection of domestic ferrets (mustela putorius furo) and siberian polecats (mustela eversmanni) with yersinia pestis.	eight domestic ferrets (mustela putorius furo) and two siberian polecats (m. eversmanni) were inoculated subcutaneously with 12 to 1.2 x 10(7) yersinia pestis originally isolated during an epizootic of plague in white-tailed prairie dogs (cynomys leucurus) near meeteetse, park county, wyoming (usa) in 1985. none of the ferrets or polecats developed clinical signs of disease which suggested that black-footed ferrets (m. nigripes), a congener, also would be resistant to plague. all animals receivi ...	1991	1920664
[the effect of extradurally administered analgesics on somatosensory evoked eyelid microvibration in rabbits].	we examined the effect of various analgesics administered lumboextradurally or intravenously on acceleration of the eyelid microvibration (emv) due to reflex contraction which was evoked by electrical stimulation of the sciatic and ulnar nerve in rabbits. no significant difference in the inhibition of emv was observed initially between the sciatic nerve and the ulnar nerve stimulated group after 2 mg of morphine, administered either extradurally or intravenously. however, greater inhibition of e ...	1991	1920786
report of the ipsm working party on low- and medium-energy x-ray dosimetry. institute of physical sciences in medicine.	new values of the factors required to convert the reading of a radiation dosemeter calibrated in terms of air kerma (or exposure) into absorbed dose to water for medium-energy x-radiation were given in a code of practice published by the iaea in 1987. these are not considered to possess sufficient support from other sources. it is therefore recommended that the f-factors given in icru report 23, and incorporated into the current hpa code of practice (1983), should continue to be used. values of ...	2007	1924540
renal damage in mice after sequential cisplatin and irradiation: the influence of prior irradiation on platinum elimination.	doses of 4-6 mg kg-1 c-ddp given 6 months before renal irradiation caused only a modest increase in functional radiation damage (def 1.1). these effects could be explained by additive toxicities and the damage was much less than when c-ddp was given 3-6 months after irradiation. pharmacokinetic studies did not demonstrate any decrease in the rate of platinum elimination after previous low-dose renal irradiation.	2007	1924867
[fibrous hamartoma in infancy and childhood: study of 3 cases, one of them with multiple lesions].	we present three cases of fibrous hamartoma of infancy, a pediatric benign fibrous proliferation. the patients were two females (10 months and 6 and half years old) and one male (18 months old). the location was characteristic in two cases: axillae and the fore aspect of the chest wall; the other case corresponds to three separated lesions located at the pubic region. the tumoral diameters were between 0.5 and 3.5 cms. two of the five tumors were adhered to the skin and fascia. in only one case ...	2007	1929014
aberrant expression of intestinal mucin antigens associated with colorectal carcinoma defined by a panel of monoclonal antibodies.	small intestine mucin antigen (sima) is an oncofoetal antigen for the colon and is distinct from the normal large intestinal mucin antigen (lima). in the present study, a panel of anti-sima and anti-lima monoclonal antibodies (mab) was used to charaterise altered mucin expression in colorectal adenocarcinomas, by immunohistochemistry and quantitative immunoassays of tissue extracts. these results are compared with cea expression and correlated with various clinicopathological indices. all mucin ...	2007	1931599
[qualitative study of proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy].	the qualitative features of the proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy was studied by carrying out tests of clearance quotient of igg and albumin in diabetic patients. diabetic patients with micro and macroalbuminuria showed a major selectivity of proteinuria in relation to normoalbuminuric patients; this suggests a loss of anions at glomerular level.	2007	1932490

woodchuck hepatitis virus is a more efficient oncogenic agent than ground squirrel hepatitis virus in a common host.	chronic infection with hepatitis b viruses (hepadnaviruses) is a major cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc), but the incubation time varies from 1 to 2 years to several decades in different host species infected with indigenous viruses. to discern the influence of viral and host factors on the kinetics of induction of hcc, we exploited the recent observation that ground squirrel hepatitis virus (gshv) is infectious in woodchucks (c. seeger, p. l. marion, d. ganem, and h. e. varmus, j. virol. ...	1991	2002538
evaluation of preoperative investigations in patients admitted for ovarian primary cytoreductive surgery.	consistent with universally established practice, it has been customary in our unit to subject patients with clinically suspected or biopsy proven ovarian cancer to a large number of preoperative investigations. this is in order to determine metastases, surgical strategy, and exclusion of pelvic kidney. this study presents a comparison of the preoperative ultrasonography, computerized tomography, intravenous pyelography, chest x-ray, liver and bone scintigraphy, and barium enema results performe ...	1968	2013447
plasma amine oxidase activities in norrie disease patients with an x-chromosomal deletion affecting monoamine oxidase.	two individuals with an x-chromosomal deletion were recently found to lack the genes encoding monoamine oxidase type a (mao-a) and mao-b. this abnormality was associated with almost total (90%) reductions in the oxidatively deaminated urinary metabolites of the mao-a substrate, norepinephrine, and with marked (100-fold) increases in an mao-b substrate, phenylethylamine, confirming systemic functional consequences of the genetic enzyme deficiency. however, urinary concentrations of the deaminated ...	2007	2018626
stereoselective transport of baclofen across the blood-brain barrier in rats as determined by the unit impulse response methodology.	the blood-brain barrier transport characteristics of racemic baclofen and the separate r- and s-enantiomers have been determined in vivo in rats by using the unit impulse response methodology. transport rate was determined as blood-brain barrier clearance, the volume of plasma per unit time cleared of baclofen by transport across the blood-brain barrier. plasma elimination kinetics and csf elimination kinetics did not differ among racemic baclofen and the r- and s-enantiomers. transport of each ...	1991	2023878

anticlastogenic activity of beta-carotene against cyclophosphamide in mice in vivo.	beta-carotene (bc), a natural food colourant and an antioxidant, acts as an antimutagen/anticarcinogen in several test systems. the anticlastogenic activity of bc against cyclophosphamide (cp) was studied in bone marrow cells of mice in vivo. seven days' oral priming with bc (2.7 and 27 mg/kg b.w.) followed by an acute treatment with cyclophosphamide (25 mg/kg b.w.; i.p.) inhibited clastogenicity. the values of chromosomal aberrations and micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes were consistent ...	2007	2034238
immune responses of two mastomys sibling species to yersinia pestis.	this study assessed the in vitro cell-mediated immune responses of mastomys natalensis, with a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 32, and mastomys coucha, with a diploid chromosome number of 2n = 36, to yersinia pestis. splenic mononuclear (mn) cells of uninfected m. natalensis proliferated in response to crude fraction 1 of y. pestis and two subfractions derived from fraction 1 in vitro. proliferation was dose dependent and followed the time kinetics of other well-known mitogens. further charact ...	1991	2037358

glucagon and clonidine testing in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.	we assessed the sensitivity and specificity of glucagon stimulation and clonidine suppression tests in the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma in 113 hypertensive patients, 39 with and 74 without the tumor. in the glucagon stimulation test, blood was sampled 2 minutes after intravenous injection of 0.28 mumol (1 mg) glucagon, and in the clonidine suppression test, blood was sampled 3 hours after administration of oral clonidine, 1.30 mumol (0.3 mg)/70 kg body wt. baseline levels of catechols in antecu ...	2007	2045133
juxtamedullary afferent arteriolar responses to p1 and p2 purinergic stimulation.	we assessed the responsiveness of rat juxtamedullary afferent arterioles to purinergic stimulation using the in vitro blood-perfused juxtamedullary nephron technique combined with videomicroscopy to allow direct measurement of arteriolar inside diameter. to minimize the contribution of endogenously formed angiotensin ii, all rats were pretreated with enalaprilat (2 mg i.v.) for 30 minutes before the right kidney was isolated and prepared for study. renal perfusion pressure was set at 110 mm hg a ...	1991	2045147
central effect of endothelin on neurohormonal responses in conscious rabbits.	it has been shown that endothelin-1 (et-1) binding sites exist in the central nervous system and that the injection of intracerebroventricular et-1 induces a pressor response. therefore, we determined the neurohormonal and cardiovascular responses to intracerebroventricular et-1 (25 pmol/kg) in conscious rabbits with chronically instrumented electrodes on the renal sympathetic nerve. intracerebroventricular et-1 provoked a prompt increase in arterial pressure and in renal sympathetic nerve activ ...	1991	2045164
augmentation of endothelium-independent flow constriction in pial arteries at high intravascular pressures.	the effects of an increase in intraluminal pressure and flow on the diameter and active smooth muscle tone of pial arteries was studied in perfused segments. resistance arteries (approximately 250-300 microns i.d.) were perfused under controlled pressure and flow conditions, and changes in arterial diameter registered with an automated video device. in any particular segment, diameter measurements were normalized to that observed at 5 mm hg. changes in active wall force were determined by relati ...	1991	2045168
