one year's experience with the gift method.from january 1985 to december 1985 we have performed 83 gifts for various indications such as unexplained infertility, immunological problems, endometriosis, male factor, fimbrial pathology. in 82 women out of 83, oocytes and sperm have been transferred and 31 pregnancies (37.8%) have been obtained. twelve women have delivered 17 babies; 11 pregnancies are ongoing, 7 have been interrupted by an abortion and 1 by a tubal pregnancy. the present and future roles of gift in the treatment of infertil ...20113739561
[autoradiographic determination of 3h-thymidine incorporation in ovarian tumor cells and the value of this in vitro study for tumor chemotherapy].according to our experiences the incorporation of 3h-thymidine in ovarian cancer cells determined by autoradiography represents a method of additional tumour characterization. the in-vitro-tests allow roughly hints about the efficiency of an intended therapy in 49 patients suffering from ovarian cancer. high risk patients may be excluded from a chemotherapy, if the incorporation of thymidine is low. for this decision we also evaluate the results of oncobiogram and clinical parameters. the 3h-thy ...20133751378
[concentration of anti-brain antibodies in the blood of patients with diffuse toxic goiter and thyrotoxic encephalopathy].the content of anticerebral antibodies was studied in the peripheral blood of 10 healthy persons, 42 patients with diffuse toxic goiter and 25 patients with thyrotoxic encephalopathy. it was determined by a method of passive hemagglutination using a human brain protein extract as an antigen. in the healthy persons antibodies to cerebral antigens were undetectable whereas in 24 of 42 patients with diffuse toxic goiter without signs of the nervous system involvement they were detected (log2 titer- ...19863754967
relationships among isolates of oral haemophili as determined by dna-dna hybridization.in order to assess the relationships among strains of the genera actinobacillus and haemophilus, dnas from 50 strains of these genera were isolated and purified. the guanine plus cytosine (g + c) content of dnas from strains of haemophilus segnis and haemophilus parainfluenzae were determined by thermal denaturation. dna-dna homologies were measured using labelled probes from one strain representing haemophilus segnis (strain atcc 10977), and two strains representing haemophilus parainfluenzae ( ...19863767569
influence of antibiotics on the faecal excretion of bile pigments in healthy subjects.we have evaluated the effects of 10 antibiotics, given orally for 6 days to healthy subjects, on faecal excretion of urobilinogen. intake of bacitracin, vancomycin, clindamycin, erythromycin, and ampicillin resulted in a pronounced suppression of the faecal excretion of urobilinogen (p less than 0.05). intake of doxycycline, metronidazole, nalidixic acid, ofloxacin, and trimethoprim/sulphamethoxazole had no significant effect. the effects of three antibiotics-ampicillin, clindamycin, and metroni ...20133775264

inactivation of interferon by serum and synovial fluids.the stability of interferons-alpha, -beta, and -gamma (ifn) in serum and synovial fluids were compared. interferon-beta was the least stable interferon species, losing at least 75% of its activity during incubation in samples of both serum and synovial fluid. interferon-alpha was the most stable ifn, but interferon-gamma under these conditions approached the stability of the alpha species. the inactivation of ifn-beta was found due to dialyzable factors and hence not classical antibodies.20133919398
dictyosome-like structures from guinea-pig testes lack galactosyltransferase, a golgi apparatus marker.more than twenty different enzyme activities of fractions containing dictyosome-like structures (dls) as a dominant cell component were monitored. plasma membrane vesicles were a major contaminant of the dls fractions, which, presumably as a consequence, were enriched somewhat in plasma membrane markers. the lysosomal enzymes arylsulfatase and latent acid phosphatase were present in the dls fractions as were the golgi apparatus activities thiamine pyrophosphatase and nucleoside diphosphatase. th ...19853922620

on dying more than one death.death (with a capital d) can best be understood as a series of distinct but related deaths. for example, a pregnant woman was found to be brain-dead but her vital functions were artificially sustained for nine weeks until her fetus could be delivered, after which the machines were removed and she died a second, conceptually distinct death. this procedure is probably justifiable, but any legislation or policy regarding such cases should be flexible and should require consent.19863957650
igm nephropathy associated with penicillamine.in this report we describe the development of idiopathic nephrotic syndrome with an igm nephropathy in a 53-year-old patient undergoing treatment for active rheumatoid arthritis with d-penicillamine. the use of d-penicillamine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis is known to be complicated by the development of various glomerulonephritides. however, in this report we describe for the first time the development of igm glomerular alterations consistent with a nephropathy in a patient undergoin ...20143963062
preserved spatial memory in old rats survives 10 months without training.aged rats with extensive prior training on the radial maze retain the capacity for accurate spatial working memory (wm) for at least 3 months without practice. to investigate the temporal limits of this influence of prior experience we compared the reacquisition of spatial wm by a group of experienced 21.5-month-old rats to the original acquisition by naive 3-month-old rats. the aged rats had received 225 radial maze tests between 3 and 11 months of age. despite 10 months without practice the ol ...19863964174

effects of coronary sinus pressure elevation on coronary blood flow distribution in dogs with normal preload.coronary sinus pressure (pcs) elevation shifts the diastolic coronary pressure-flow relation (pfr) of the entire left ventricular myocardium to a higher pressure intercept. this finding suggests that pcs is one determinant of zero-flow pressure (pzf) and challenges the existence of a vascular waterfall mechanism in the coronary circulation. to determine whether coronary sinus or tissue pressure is the effective coronary back pressure in different layers of the left ventricular myocardium, the ef ...19854042013
pulmonary gas exchange and exercise performance in pulmonary hypertension.patients with pulmonary hypertension have disordered pulmonary gas exchange and impaired exercise tolerance. the hypoxemia is due to mild ventilation-perfusion (va/q) inequality exaggerated by the presence of a low mixed venous po2 (pvo2) and is accentuated during exercise due to a further fall in pvo2. this in turn may be worsened by vasodilators which increase the degree of va/q inequality. decreased exercise tolerance is due predominantly to cardiac limitation, and thus an improvement in card ...20144042731
spontaneous activity of primary afferent neurons in diabetic bb/wistar rats. a possible mechanism of chronic diabetic neuropathic pain.the mechanism of painful diabetic neuropathy remains unknown. spontaneous activity in nociceptive primary afferents has been implicated in the genesis of chronic pain due to peripheral nerve injury, and diabetic axonopathy shares some histologic features with traumatic neuropathy. we hypothesized that spontaneous hyperactivity of nociceptive neurons might represent the neurophysiologic mechanism of diabetic neuropathic pain. to test this, we examined the spontaneous activity of primary afferent ...19854043559

nbt-reduction for detection of specific, opsonizing antibodies against haemophilus parainfluenzae.specific, opsonizing antibodies against haemophilus parainfluenzae were demonstrated in serum by measuring their enhancing effect on the nitroblue tetrazolium (nbt)-reduction of normal human granulocytes, phagocytizing the homologous bacteria. patients with septicemia and/or endocarditis and carriers of h. parainfluenzae were studied. in late phase sera of the first group such antibodies were detected in 6 of 9 cases. opsonizing antibodies against h. parainfluenzae were not detected in any of th ...19854045997
mitral valve stenosis in the elderly.forty-seven elderly patients (aged 70-95 years) with mitral stenosis (ms) were studied. the initial presentation in 77% of patients was in the postretirement age and 55% were diagnosed after the age of 70 years. a history of acute rheumatic fever (arf) was given by 43% of all patients. one patient had mitral valve stenosis secondary to mitral annular calcification. ms due to rheumatic heart disease may be mild or the progress may be slow enabling patients to live a near normal life; increased lo ...20144050606

effect of exercise on urinary n-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase activity and albumin excretion in children with type i diabetes mellitus.urinary n-acetyl-beta-d-glucosaminidase (nag), a proximal tubule lysosomal enzyme, has been used as an indicator of subtle renal injury. since it has been positively and significantly correlated with hemoglobin a1c and microalbuminuria, it has been suggested that this enzyme may also reflect metabolic control. albumin excretion is exacerbated in adult diabetic individuals during exercise; such exercise-induced albuminuria may be a forerunner of diabetic nephropathy. metabolic control, degree of ...20134053933
a collaborative study to establish an international standard rabies immunoglobulin of human origin.because the supply of the international standard for anti-rabies serum was very low, the who initiated a search for a replacement product. the us food and drug administration agreed to undertake a collaborative study using a human rabies immunoglobulin previously purchased for use as a us standard. the potency of this product was determined, in international units (iu) per millilitre using the rapid fluorescent focus inhibition test for measuring rabies antibody. the mean potency value was found ...19854055809
[evaluation of a semiautomatic system (abac-abactor iii) for the identification of enterobacteriaceae].abac-abactor ii system has been compared with two conventional methods (enterotube ii and ms-2) for the identification of enterobacteriaceae. our findings demonstrate the validity and the reproducibility of the identification obtained with this system.20144059512
preadult feminine behaviors of male transvestites.feminine behaviors during the childhood and adolescence of volunteer male transvestites who had shown a period of fetishism were investigated. the transvestites were categorized into two groups. twenty who were satisfied with cross-dressing were termed nuclear transvestites, and 14 who desired at least a partial feminization were termed marginal transvestites. it was found that during their preadult years marginal transvestites showed significantly more feminine behaviors than nuclear transvesti ...20144062538
chronic prostatitis: comments on infectious etiologies and antimicrobial treatment.twenty-three males with the clinical diagnosis of chronic prostatitis were evaluated for a bacterial etiology by the stamey and meares method. in addition, 16 patients, regardless of culture results, were placed on either cefadroxil or oral carbenicillin antimicrobial therapy. culture results identified only four (17%) of 23 patients with bacterial prostatitis: coagulase-negative staphylococcus (2), enterobacter agglomerans (1), and haemophilus parainfluenzae, and coagulase-negative staphylococc ...19854088955
intestinal disaccharidase and alkaline phosphatase activities in experimental rabbit mucoid enteropathy.mucoid enteropathy was induced experimentally by ligation of the cecum, and the activities of mucosal disaccharidases and alkaline phosphatase were measured at different locations along the small intestine of the sick and control rabbits. in the duodenum of rabbits with mucoid enteropathy, the activity of acid beta-galactosidase ii was elevated and hetero beta-galactosidase declined. in the jejunum, the activities of lactase, acid beta-galactosidase i and ii, hetero beta-galactosidase, trehalase ...19854094400
