[ferric ammonium citrate as virulence-enhancing agent in the toxicity test of vibrio cholerae and the potency assay of cholera vaccine].using icr strain mice as experimental animals, 0.25% (w/v) ferric ammonium citrate (fac) was a suitable substitute for 5% (w/v) mucin as a virulence-enhancing (ve) agent in the toxicity test of vibrio cholerae and the potency assay of cholera vaccine. there was no significant lethal toxicity difference between 0.25% fac and 5% mucin as ve agents on vibrio cholerae in mice. by using 0.25% fac as a ve agent in estimating the potency of cholera vaccine, the relative potency (r.p.) of the tested cho ...19892791724
visual evoked potentials in prader-willi syndrome.oculocutaneous, electrophysiological, and cytogenetic factors were evaluated in 14 patients with prader-willi syndrome and in three controls, two albinos and a normal observer. in a substantial number of pw patients chromosomal anomalies, particularly deletions of the long arm of chromosome 15 as well as hypopigmentation of hair, skin, and eye have been identified. in the genetic condition of albinism, hypopigmentation related to neural ectoderm derivatives is associated with reduced visual acui ...19892791841
interaction between prostatic fibroblast and epithelial cells in culture: role of androgen.we have established and characterized two cell lines from the ventral prostate gland of normal nb rats: nbe-1 (prostatic epithelial) and nbf-1 (prostatic fibroblast) cell lines. to identify the direct mitogenic action of dihydrotestosterone (dht), we incubated these cell lines alone and together (in the presence and absence of cell contact) with various concentrations of dht (0.1-10,000 ng/ml) for 24-72 h and assayed for the rate of dna synthesis and the total number of cells in tissue culture a ...19892792005
bolus injections of recombinant human interleukin-1 cause transient hypocalcemia in normal mice.single daily injections of recombinant human interleukin-1 alpha (il-1 alpha) or interleukin-1 beta (il-1 beta) were given for 1-3 days to normal mice, and blood ionized calcium concentrations were measured before and at various times after each injection. mean blood calcium levels fell significantly in both groups of animals 3 h after the first il-1 injections and returned to pretreatment values at 5 h. however, at 24 and 48 h mean values were significantly higher than those in saline-heated co ...19892792008
interaction of filipin with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine membranes studied by 2h-nmr, circular dichroism, electronic absorption and fluorescence.interaction of the pentene antibiotic filipin with dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (dmpc) membranes has been monitored by 2h-nmr, circular dichroism (cd), electronic absorption and fluorescence in the temperature range 10 degrees to 60 degrees c. interaction appears to depend on whether filipin is added before or after membrane formation and also upon the temperature of the system. when filipin is added to preformed dmpc large unilamellar vesicles (luv), the association constants, as determined b ...20032792024
outcome after discontinuation of antiepileptic drug therapy in children with epilepsy.we studied recurrence risks and predictive factors of relapse after antiepileptic drug (aed) discontinuation in a prospective analysis of 425 children with epilepsy who had not had a seizure for at least 2 years (follow-up after withdrawal 1.6-12 years, mean 8 years). factors closely related by multivariate analysis to relapse were neurologic abnormalities, mental retardation, seizure type (infantile spasms, absence seizures), and appearance or persistence of eeg abnormalities during the course ...20052792033

arylsulphatase in echinoderm immunocompetent cells.two peaks of arylsulphatase activity were detected biochemically in coelomocyte lysate preparations of seven different echinodermata species. both peaks were inactivated by sulphite and sulphate ions, indicating that type ii arylsulphatase is present in the coelomocytes of the species tested. arylsulphatase was localized histochemically in the granules of spherula cells, suggesting that in echinoderms a common cell type with granulocyte-like functions is present. the enzyme was also localized in ...20092793527
mechanisms of arterial thrombosis in nonparallel streamlines: platelet thrombi grow on the apex of stenotic severely injured vessel wall. experimental study in the pig model.the role of thrombosis in various acute coronary syndromes has been established. however, the basic mechanism by which plaque rupture leads to a growing thrombus in the vicinity of stenotic lesions is not well understood. using a characterized flow chamber in a rheologically controlled system, we have mimicked stenotic vessels and studied for the first time cell-vessel wall interaction in nonparallel streamlines. stenoses ranging from 0 to 80% were produced with stripped tunica media to mimic se ...19892794050
elevation of factor vii activity and mass in young adults at risk of ischemic heart disease.the northwick park heart study found that elevation of factor vii in middle-aged subjects was an independent risk factor for subsequent ischemic heart disease. the present study was designed to determine whether factor vii elevation is present at a younger age and whether zymogen or activated factor vii is responsible for this elevation. a group of 20 asymptomatic first degree relatives (mean age 34.9 years) of patients with premature ischemic heart disease were compared with 15 age-matched norm ...20092794283

the temporomandibular ligament and the articular eminence as constraints during jaw opening.it is generally thought that during symmetrical jaw opening the mandible rotates about an axis passing through the centres of the two mandibular condyles, and translates down the articular eminence. the author argues that there are no data to support this assumption. the true combination of movements can only be understood by understanding the constraints that operate during jaw opening and these are the articular eminence and the temporomandibular (tm) ligament. the tm ligament is pulled taut d ...20092795311
mutation induced by vibriophage ps166 infection changes biotype and phage type of vibrio cholerae.the effect of a newly isolated vibriophage, ps166, on vibrio cholerae (e1 tor) mak757 was investigated. two ps166-resistant mutants of strain mak757 were isolated. these had undergone transition to the classical biotype with concomitant acquisition of new phage sensitivity. however, the parental ogawa serotype remained unchanged. these mutant strains also showed a unique temperate phage-sensitivity profile, distinct from that of strain mak757. the possible target of phage ps166 interaction is di ...19892795637
[causes of unsatisfactory results of the treatment of chronic ischemia of the lower limbs using g. a. ilizarov's method].the g. a. ilizarov's method was used for the treatment of 46 patients with occlusion of the arteries of the lower extremities at stages iii and iv of ischemia. the treatment has proved to be ineffective in 10 patients. the use of a method in active aggravation of the inflammatory-necrotic process, postoperative arterial spasm and thrombosis, excess in the permissible rate of the bone split distraction, wrong choice of the level of osteotomy were the main causes of unsatisfactory outcomes.20102796170
[monoclonal antibodies to antigens of cholera vibrios of the ogava serovar].a set of hybrids is obtained synthesizing monoclonal antibodies to the surface antigenic determinants of the choleric vibrio of the ogava serovar. the antigenic structure of vibrios of the typical and atypical strains isolated from a man and from environmental objects is studied using a collection of highly specific immunoglobulins. the high-specific diagnostic preparations for identification of the 01-group cholera agent serovar may be created on their base.19892796789
krüppel requirement for knirps enhancement reflects overlapping gap gene activities in the drosophila embryo.segmental pattern formation in drosophila proceeds in a hierarchical manner whereby the embryo is stepwise divided into progressively finer regions until it reaches its final metameric form. maternal genes initiate this process by imparting on the egg a distinct antero-posterior polarity and by directing from the two polar centres the activities of the zygotic genes. the anterior system is strictly dependent on the product of the maternal gene bicoid (bcd), without which all pattern elements in ...20092797151
