| [the diagnosis and method of surgical treatment in dislocation of the brain under the falx cerebri in craniocerebral trauma]. | in 6.6% of cases a severe craniocerebral trauma is accompanied with dislocation of the brain under the falx cerebri with incarceration of the cingulate gyrus. the diagnosis of dislocation under the falx in intracranial traumatic hematoma and brain contusion-crushing is discussed. falxotomy may be among the methods for the prevention or correction of incarceration of the cingulate gyrus. the authors suggest an operative approach for performing falxotomy with little injury as well as a surgical in ... | 2007 | 2168652 |
| molecular mechanisms of glial cell swelling in acidosis. | the mechanism of glial swelling in acidosis were investigated in an in vitro model. c6 glial cells were exposed to ph levels between 7.4 and 6.2. the cell volume response was determined by flow cytometry. cell swelling of 110% to 115% was observed if ph was reduced to 6.8 or below. this effect was independent of the length of exposure to acidosis. swelling induced by ph could be attenuated by (a) inhibition of the na+/h+ antiporter by amiloride, (b) replacement of bicarbonate by hepes, and (c) i ... | 1990 | 2168665 |
| antiinflammatory properties of the new antirheumatic agent 4-acetylaminophenylacetic acid. | the antiinflammatory activity of 4-acetylaminophenylacetic acid (ms-932) was investigated. ms-932 did not suppress the acute inflammation of carrageenin-induced paw edema in rats or of primary swelling in adjuvant arthritic rats. however, prophylactic treatment with ms-932 inhibited secondary inflammation in adjuvant arthritic rats. ms-932 also restored to normal the weight of the spleen and the serum albumin/globulin ratio of adjuvant arthritic rats. in addition to its prophylactic effect, ms-9 ... | 1990 | 2168705 |
| [a case of pulmonary metastasis from adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea]. | a 33-year-old woman with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the trachea was treated by resection of the upper and mid-trachea, plus total laryngectomy, subtotal thyroidectomy, partial resection of the cervical esophageal muscle layer and mediastinal tracheostomy. this tumor invaded directly into the thyroid gland, the larynx, the recurrent laryngeal nerve and the cervical esophagus. three years after the operation, metastases developed in the right lung (s10, s2) and partial resection of the lung was p ... | 2007 | 2168922 |
| [clinical investigation of hepatectomies for hepatocellular carcinoma--significance of extended hepatectomy for advanced hepatocellular carcinoma]. | although the diagnostic methods for hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) are now being improved, there are still many cases detected at advanced stage. we, based on the redox theory and using a technique of vascular surgery and liver transplantation, made it possible to perform the extended hepatectomy more actively even in the advanced cases which were previously considered to be in-operable. we report these extended hepatectomies in this paper. from january 1985 to august 1989, we performed 263 hepa ... | 2007 | 2168926 |
| photoprotective effect of superoxide-scavenging antioxidants against ultraviolet radiation-induced chronic skin damage in the hairless mouse. | albino hairless mice (skh:hr-1) exposed chronically to suberythemal doses of ultraviolet radiation develop visible skin changes, histological alterations, and tumors. topical treatment of mice with solutions of superoxide-scavenging antioxidants (such as alpha-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, propyl gallate and trolox) prior to each uvb radiation exposure reduced significantly the severity of these events. tocopherol esters and ascorbyl palmitate were not as effective as the parent compounds in provid ... | 1990 | 2169296 |
| preliminary doppler studies on the uterine artery and myometrium in trophoblastic tumours requiring chemotherapy. | the uterine circulation in 38 patients with invasive mole or choriocarcinoma were investigated using doppler ultrasound. twenty-six non-pregnant and 23 pregnant volunteers were assessed in a similar fashion to act as control groups. the pulsatility indices were significantly lower in the patients with trophoblastic disease when compared with the non-pregnant and pregnant groups (student's t-test; p less than 0.001 and p less than 0.02 respectively). the uterine circulation in persistent trophobl ... | 2008 | 2169301 |
| effects of blood glucose concentration on thermogenesis and glucose disposal during hyperinsulinaemia. | 1. the thermogenic and cardiovascular responses to glucose ingestion or infusion are altered by undernutrition. these changes may be due, in part, to alterations in the blood glucose concentration. this study investigates the effect of variation in the blood glucose concentration on the thermogenic and cardiovascular responses to a hyperinsulinaemic glucose clamp. 2. ten healthy post-absorptive subjects (six male, aged 21-30 years) were studied on two occasions. baseline measurements were made f ... | 2000 | 2169378 |
| inactivation of beta-lactamase from shigella flexneri ucsf-129 by 6-beta-iodopenicillanic acid: classification of the enzyme. | the beta-lactamase from shigella flexneri ucsf-129 was irreversible inactivated by 6-beta-iodopenicillanic acid. only one serine residue was modified, according to the spectra change and the amino acid analyses. a ph variation of 0.3 units was found when the chemically modified enzyme was submitted to isoelectric focusing. the inactivation constant of the fast time course reaction was 0.1 seg-1. protection of 96% was obtained, using cephradine 2,830 times more concentrated than 6-beta-iodopenici ... | 1990 | 2170824 |

| dna supercoiling and environmental regulation of virulence gene expression in shigella flexneri. | bacterial pathogens undergo profound physiological changes when they infect their hosts, requiring coordinated regulation of gene expression in response to the stresses encountered during infection. a number of environmental stresses (such as osmotic shock and anaerobiosis) have been shown to induce changes in dna supercoiling that can directly affect the transcription of a specific subset of bacterial genes, at least some of which (the outer-membrane porins and type 1 fimbriae) play a part in b ... | 1990 | 2184366 |
| a common mechanism of transcriptional activation by the three positive regulators, virg, phob, and ompr. | virg, phob, and ompr are positive regulators of the virulence, phosphate, and osmolarity regulons, respectively. their target genes are attended with one or more significant blocks of similar 6-bp sequences in their regulatory regions. the distance between the block(s) and transcriptional start site varies with the target genes, but the blocks are located in a similar manner phase-specific to the promoter sequences. on the basis of these facts, we offer a novel model of transcriptional activatio ... | 1990 | 2185030 |
| influence of pulsatile perfusion upon renin release from the isolated perfused rat kidney. | it is well established that renin release from the juxtaglomerular epithelioid cells in the media of the afferent arteriole strongly depends on the mean renal perfusion pressure, whereas a possible influence of the pulsation of blood pressure on renin release has only occasionally been investigated, and the results are contradictory. such an influence on renin release cannot be excluded because pulsation is known to modulate arterial baroreceptors and vascular tone in some resistance vessels. in ... | 1990 | 2186359 |
