measurement of heparin in patients receiving subcutaneous heparin therapy.	heparin assays based on four different tests of clotting function have been compared with a heparin assay utilizing the potentiating effect of heparin on anti-factor xa in a group of patients receiving subcutaneous heparin therapy during late pregnancy. it is considered that the anti-factor xa method is a better indication of the antithrombotic effect of heparin. in the presence of high levels of clotting factors, heparin assays based on tests of clotting function can be misleading.	2005	1201205
haemoglobin c/alpha thalassaemia: haematological and biosynthetic studies.	a family with genes for haemoglobin c (hb c) and alpha thalassaemia was studied. the mother had hb-c trait. the father also had hb-c trait but in addition displayed microcytosis, elevated hb-f levels and a concentration of hb-c less than usual for heterozygotes. the proband was homozygous for hb-c but had hb-f levels far exceeding those present in hb-c disease. biosynthetic studies of globin synthesis in both father and daughter showed a deficit of alpha chains relative to non-alpha chains, conf ...	2005	1201216
comparative study of the smooth muscle contractor activity of airborne dusts and of dustiness in cotton, flax, and jute mills.	a bioassay technique using isolated guinea-pig ileum was employed to compare the smooth muscle contractor activity of various dusts from mills in which the prevalence of byssinosis was known. the activity of dust from a mill spinning a coarse grade of cotton was several times greater than that in dust from a mill processing a fine grade of cotton. there was a similar order in the difference of the prevalence of byssinosis in these mills. however, the activities of fine cotton, flax, and jute dus ...	1975	1201255
mechanism of action of adenosylcobalamin: 3-fluoro-1,2-propranediol as substrate for propanediol dehydrase--mechanistic implications.	3-fluro-1,2-propanediol has been found to be a substrate for propanediol dehydrase and has very similar binding and catalytic constants compared to the natural substrate. the only isolable products of the reaction are acrolein and inorganic fluoride; with 3-fluoro-3,3-dideuterio-1,2-propanediol as substrate, only 3,3-dideuterioacrolein is obtained. these results indicate that the primary product of the reaction is 3-fluoropropionaldehyde which spontaneously loses hydrogen fluoride to yield acrol ...	2005	1201278
trachoma in the sudan. a laboratory study.	out of 46 patients in the sudan who had been diagnosed clinically as having trachoma 25 strains of the trachoma agent were isolated. bacterial contamination was easily controlled by streptomycin and vancomycin. on repeated passaging, chick embryos lost their susceptibility to the trachoma agent during the summer.	1975	1203228

intracellular accumulation of free calcium in mouse tumor cells exposed to anticancer drugs.	alterations in concentrations of intracellular free calcium ([ca2+]i) were examined in mouse sarcoma s-180 cells exposed to cisplatin, mitomycin c and adriamycin, as related to cell viability. the [ca2+]i was measured using the fluorescent ca2+ indicator, fura-2. during the first 24 hr of incubation of the cells in vitro, in the presence of the drugs, the [ca2+]i was lower than in the control cells. after 24 hr of incubation, the [ca2+]i began to increase at a time when the cell viability was re ...	1992	1295467
detection of igm antibodies to chlamydia trachomatis, chlamydia pneumoniae, and chlamydia psittaci from japanese infants and children with pneumonia.	chlamydia trachomatis (c. trachomatis) is now well established as a pathogen of neonatal inclusion conjunctivitis and infantile pneumonia. c. pneumoniae (twar) and c. psittaci also cause pneumonia and other respiratory infections. serum samples from 223 japanese infants and children with pneumonia were tested for igm antibodies to c. trachomatis, c. pneumoniae and c. psittaci. igm antibodies to c. trachomatis were measured by an enzyme immunoassay (eia) and by a microimmunofluorescence (mif) tes ...	1992	1296808
developmental regulation of globin gene expression.	we have used the globin family of genes in chicken to study developmental regulation of gene expression, both at the level of individual interaction of trans-acting factors with local promoters and enhancers, and at the level of chromatin structure. regulation of all members of the alpha- and beta-globin clusters is affected by the erythroid regulatory factor gata-1. separate mechanisms exist for regulation of individual members of the family. as an example, we describe the control mechanisms th ...	1992	1297648
dna fingerprinting of chlamydia trachomatis by use of ribosomal rna, oligonucleotide and randomly cloned dna probes.	dna fingerprinting of 15 reference strains and 24 clinical isolates of chlamydia trachomatis, 2 strains of c. psittaci and one strain of c. pneumoniae was studied by use of universal 16 + 23s rna from escherichia coli, 16s rdna-directed oligonucleotide and randomly cloned chlamydial dna probes. the rrna-gene restriction patterns (ribotypes) enabled the differentiation of chlamydial species. following dna cleavage by restriction endonuclease pvuii, lymphogranuloma venereum and trachoma biovars of ...	1992	1298028
construction and implementation of qrst-wave simulation model.	computer simulation study of the electrical activity of the heart is one of the frontier subjects of electrocardiogram (ecg) theory study. a new algorithm for simulating excitation propagation within the heart is presented in this paper. on the basis of this, computer simulation of qrst-wave is completed on an ibm pc microcomputer. all performance of the model is compared favourably with that of the models implemented on main frames or on high-performance work stations abroad.	2005	1298293
percutaneous ultrasound guided cholecystostomy with double bubble catheter.	we have used a prototype double bubble cholecystostomy catheter in four very ill patients. this has been done under local anaesthetic using a seldinger technique, ultrasound guidance, and a trans-peritoneal approach to the gallbladder. the catheter provides drainage, cholangiography, and is intended to allow instrumentation of the biliary tract at a later stage.	2004	1299194
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) deficiency in the albanian ethnic minority of cosenza province, italy.	the albanian ethnic minority of the cosenza province (calabria, southern italy) is constituted by a population of 42,305 inhabitants living in 19 communes. the first presence of this population, in southern italy, dates back to the fifteenth century as a result of different immigrations. we have studied the g6pd in the population of this province by determining both the frequency of the g6pd-deficiency and the type of gd(-) alleles in samples from 19 communes. the overall frequency estimate turn ...	2005	1299317
