[primary mediastinal germ cell tumors].	the most frequent site of extragonadal germ cell tumors is the mediastinum. the majority (80%) of mediastinal germ cell tumors are benign mature teratomas, which can be easily removed. malignant germ cell tumors account for approximately 20% of all cases and are clinically classified into seminoma and non-seminomatous germ cell tumors. seminomas are radiosensitive and have relatively a good prognosis. patients with non-seminomatous germ cell tumors had a very poor prognosis, however, the introdu ...	2007	2168496
interstitial irradiation of cerebral gliomas in childhood by permanently implanted 125-iodine--preliminary results.	19 children with a deeply located cerebral glioma were treated with continuous interstitial irradiation (stereotactically implanted 125-iodine). the accumulated dose at the tumor surface ranged in the low grade glioma group (group a) from 55 to 100 gy and in the high grade glioma group (group b) from 50 to 65 gy. patients in group b additionally received a fractionated external beam irradiation (15-20 gy boost dose). tumor shrinkage as seen on ct-scans 6 months postoperatively could be achieved ...	2007	2168501
further biochemical characterization of wheat dna primase: possible functional implication of copurification with dna polymerase a.	dna primase has been partially purified from wheat germ. this enzyme, like dna primases characterized from many procaryotic and eucaryotic sources, catalyses the synthesis of primers involved in dna replication. however, the wheat enzyme differs from animal dna primase in that it is found partially associated with a dna polymerase which differs greatly from dna polymerase alpha. moreover, the only wheat dna polymerase able to initiate on a natural or synthetic rna primer is dna polymerase a. in ...	2007	2168540
changed distribution of sodium channels along demyelinated axons.	voltage-gated sodium channels are largely localized to the nodes of ranvier in myelinated axons, providing a physiological basis for saltatory conduction. what happens to these channels in demyelinated axons is not known with certainty. experimentally demyelinated axons were examined by using a well-characterized, polyclonal antibody directed against sodium channels. immunocytochemical and radioimmunoassay data were consistent with the distribution of an increased number of sodium channels along ...	2007	2168559
cloning and characterization of the hpaii methylase gene.	the hpaii restriction-modification system from haemophilus parainfluenzae recognizes the dna sequence ccgg. the gene for the hpaii methylase has been cloned into e. coli and its nucleotide sequence has been determined. the dna of the clones is fully protected against cleavage by the hpaii restriction enzyme in vitro, indicating that the methylase gene is active in e. coli. the clones were isolated in an mcra-strain of e. coli; attempts to isolate them in an mcra+ strain were unsuccessful. the cl ...	1990	2183189
phenotypic properties of klebsiella pneumoniae and k. oxytoca isolated from different sources.	474 klebsiella pneumoniae and k. oxytoca strains isolated from different sources (human clinical material, feces of healthy subjects, sewage) were investigated for phenotypic properties. characteristics analyzed were cultural activities, antimicrobial susceptibilities and capsule types. comparison of both species revealed differences in adonitol fermentation and resistance to tetracycline, nalidixic and pipemidic acid. capsule types 2, 7 and 33 were frequently found in k. pneumoniae, but not in ...	1990	2200423
