characterization of size-dependent exchange of peg molecules between the blood and extravascular space in the pig.	different sized polyethylene glycols (pegs) have been used as probe molecules in studies of size-dependent permeation through the intestinal wall and the glomerular membranes. we have curve-fitted a three-compartment model to the urinary recovery data following intravenous injection of different sized peg molecules in the pig. the rate constants to and from the extravascular space demonstrate a strong size-dependent selectivity for peg molecules less than 502 da, but the rate constants to the ur ...	1988	3370951
a long term follow up of resection interposition arthroplasty of the knee using chromicized fascia lata.	we have reviewed the results of 25 patients who had a resection interposition arthroplasty of the knee using chromicized fascia lata, with a mean follow-up of 22 years. no patient had severe pain although 10 had occasional pain after heavy labour. thirteen knees had 60 degrees of movement or more but 12 had 45 degrees or less. the radiographs all showed adaptive remodelling of the resected bone ends. this procedure successfully restored function in the majority of cases with absence of pain over ...	2012	3372105
trichosanthin, alpha-momorcharin and beta-momorcharin: identity of abortifacient and ribosome-inactivating proteins.	the abortifacient proteins trichosanthin, alpha-momorcharin and beta-momorcharin at nm concentrations inhibit cell-free protein synthesis. the momorcharins and the ribosome-inactivating proteins isolated from momordica charantia seeds cross-react with the respective antisera. the ribosome-inactivating proteins saporins, pokeweed antiviral protein (pap) and, to a lesser extent, gelonin have abortifacient activity on pregnant mice.	1988	3372132
ocular toxoplasmosis in immunosuppressed nonhuman primates.	to investigate the role of cellular immunodeficiency in recurrent toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis, six cynomolgus monkeys (macaca fascicularis) with healed toxoplasmic lesions of the retina were immunosuppressed by total lymphoid irradiation. three months prior to irradiation 30,000 toxoplasma gondii organisms of the beverley strain had been inoculated onto the macula of eye in each monkey via a pars plana approach. toxoplasmic retinochoroiditis developed in each animal, and lesions were allowed t ...	1988	3372160
