hemolytic activity of and lethal toxin production by environmental strains of vibrio parahaemolyticus.repeated subculturing of kanagawa-negative strains of vibrio parahaemolyticus on wagatsuma agar induced the production of a hemolysin which was not the thermostable direct hemolysin. crude hemolysin exhibited a 30 to 40% lethal toxicity in mice after intraperitoneal injection. a 21-kilodalton protein band was observed with all the environmental isolates in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. results suggested that a certain percentage of environmental strains of v. parahae ...19873426228
alcohol and ambience: social and environmental determinants of intake and mood.an experiment was conducted in which 66 male subjects were given access to alcohol (20% vol.) and fruit juice to be mixed and tasted ad lib. a factorial design included social vs. solitary drinking conditions, laboratory vs. informal setting, and variable exposure to music. the amount of ethanol consumed (g/kg body weight) was used as an unobtrusive measure of preferred intake. the reciprocal relationship between mood and consumption was analyzed by lisrel. while euphoria has usually been percei ...20123426705
application of pvd tin coating to co-cr-mo based surgical implants.the requirements for successful joint arthroplasty are particularly exacting; a balanced combination of mechanical properties together with good biocompatibility are essential. co-cr based alloys have been used for many years on account of their relative inertness, good load bearing properties and excellent wear resistance. there is, however, concern that a slow accumulation of metal ions such as cobalt and chromium can lead to adverse clinical reactions; modern cementless fixation techniques ma ...20123427147
brain thelohanellosis due to thelohanellus oculileucisci (myxozoa: myxosporea) in gobio gobio.the first case of a thelohanellus infection in the brain of gudgeons (gobio gobio) is described. the infection was found on three localities in southern bohemia, czechoslovakia. the spores measured 13.2-14.4 x 6.3-7.1 micron. the reasons are discussed for which the species was identified as t. oculileucisci trojan, 1909.20123428769
specificity of a mycobacterium kansasii phenolic glycolipid (mycoside a) immunoserum.the specificity of mycobacterium kansasii anti-mycoside a antiserum prepared in rabbits injected with purified samples of the phenolic glycolipid was evaluated by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. chloroform-methanol extracts from representative strains of 23 mycobacterial species and 50 strains of m. kansasii showed that all strains of m. kansasii and the representative strain of m. gastri formed the antigen, whereas none of the remaining species (including m. leprae) formed it. consequentl ...19873429620
methods to assess airborne concentrations of cotton dust.assessment of concentrations of airborne cotton dust in the factory is necessary to determine adherence to applicable permissible exposure limits (pels) on a day-to-day basis, as well as for investigatory studies of an epidemiological nature. the latter are required on an ongoing basis to determine the adequacy of pels to prevent disease in the exposed population. a strategy of sampling includes considerations of the numbers of samples to be obtained for statistical validity and the locations of ...20123434562
