| increase in carcinoembryonic antigen release from cancer cells by combined treatment with retinoic acid and low-temperature hyperthermia. | the growth of a human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line, mkn-45, was inhibited and the amount of carcinoembryonic antigen (cea) in both the culture medium and the cell extract was increased in the presence of retinoic acid at a concentration of 75 (1.5x)-125 microm (1.9x), which did not substantially affect cell survival. treatment using a combination of retinoic acid (125 microm) and low-temperature hyperthermia (40 degrees c, 30 min) was more effective in increasing cea compared with retinoic a ... | 1990 | 2394926 |
| are separable aromatase systems involved in hormonal regulation of the male brain? | in vitro study of testosterone (t) metabolism shows that formation of estradiol-17 beta (e2) is regionally specific within the preoptic area (poa) of the male ring dove. the poa is known to be involved in the formation of e2 required for specific components of male sexual behavior. two sub-areas of high aromatase activity, anterior (apoa) and posterior preoptic (ppoa) areas, have been identified. aromatase activity is higher in apoa than in ppoa. the aromatase activity within the apoa is also mo ... | 1990 | 2394989 |
| metabolism of indium-111-labeled murine monoclonal antibody in tumor and normal tissue of the athymic mouse. | we have studied the fate of radiometal metabolism in vivo by analyzing the molecular form of radiolabeled anti-carcinoembryonic antigen (cea) in tissues. athymic mice bearing colonic tumor xenografts were injected i.v. with 111in-isothiocyanate-benzyl-dtpa-(scn-bz-dtpa) igg or 111in-(scn-bz-dtpa) f(ab')2, and then killed daily for up to four days. liver, kidney, and tumor were extracted and the supernatants, plasma and urine samples were analyzed by hplc, itlc, hpiec and sds-page. by hplc, the a ... | 1990 | 2395019 |
| catalase enhances damage to dna by bleomycin-iron(ii): the role of hydroxyl radicals. | bleomycin degrades dna under aerobic conditions when a ferrous salt is added. this reaction is enhanced by catalase and certain hydroxyl radical scavengers but inhibited by the addition of hydrogen peroxide. a ferricbleomycin complex is, however, stimulated by addition of hydrogen peroxide. these findings suggest that catalase removes hydrogen peroxide and in so doing prevents loss of ferrous ions and formation of hydroxyl radicals (oh.) by a fenton-type reaction. it further suggests that oh. ra ... | 1985 | 2409975 |
| a study on the pharmacokinetics in mouse of adenine-9-beta-d-arabinofuranoside 5-monophosphate conjugated with lactosaminated albumin. | in plasma of mice injected with adenine-9-beta-d-arabinofuranoside monophosphate (ara-amp) coupled to human lactosaminated serum albumin (l-hsa) some of the ara-amp molecules are enzymatically released, whereas others remain linked to l-hsa. evidence has been obtained that ara-amp is not deaminated when it is conjugated to l-hsa, in contrast to the free drug which is rapidly metabolized to its hypoxanthine derivative. | 1985 | 2412878 |
| serotonin and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in brains of suicide victims. comparison in chronic schizophrenic patients with suicide as cause of death. | serotonin (5-ht) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid concentrations were determined in various brain areas of nonschizophrenic suicide victims, chronic schizophrenic patients with or without suicide as the cause of death, and normal control subjects without psychiatric or neurologic disorders. serotonin concentrations in the basal ganglia were significantly elevated in suicide victims and chronic schizophrenic patients, as were 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid concentrations in the occipital cortex. these ... | 1986 | 2423050 |
| identification and characterization of the nmyc gene product in human neuroblastoma cells by monoclonal antibodies with defined specificities. | increased n-myc (now designated nmyc in human gene nomenclature) gene expression has been detected at the transcriptional level in certain types of neoplasms. as yet, the n-myc gene product has not been identified. to detect and characterize the n-myc gene product, we have developed monoclonal antibodies against the putative n-myc gene product made in escherichia coli as a fusion protein. the antibodies that recognize the n-myc-specific regions were selected on the basis of their reactivities to ... | 1986 | 2426708 |
| [effects of enzymatic deglycosylation of human goiter thyroglobulin on its immunochemical properties]. | thyroglobulin (tg), isolated from soluble iodoproteins by ammonium sulphate fractionation, was enzymatically deglycosylated in vitro and analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, double immunodiffusion and non-commercial ria. carbohydrate and iodine content was chemically determined. by paage deglycosylated tg (dtg) showed the appearance of a major band in the 12s region and three slower migrating bands corresponding to higher aggregates than 19s tg. in immunodiffusion by testing native an ... | 1986 | 2430684 |
| correlation between virulence and colony morphology in vibrio vulnificus. | of 38 isolates of vibrio vulnificus examined, all avirulent strains produced only translucent colonies. all virulent strains, with the exception of biogroup 2 (eel pathogens), exhibited both opaque and translucent colonies. isogenic morphotypes were examined for a variety of phenotypic and virulence traits. only the ability to utilize transferrin-bound iron and the presence of a surface polysaccharide were found to correlate with colony opacity and virulence. | 1987 | 2432016 |
| the presence of the 30 nm filament structure of chromatins in intact chicken erythrocytes observed by 31p nmr. | a 31p nmr spectrum of chicken erythrocyte chromatins in vivo was obtained. the spectrum was characterized by examining the spectra of isolated nuclei and nondigested chromatins under various conditions. the results have shown that most chromatins in chicken erythrocyte nuclei assume the 30 nm filament structure as a second step of condensation of dna in vivo. | 1987 | 2435577 |
| hybridocytochemistry with non-radioactive probes as a tool for biomedical research and cytodiagnostics. | the advent of dna and rna labelling techniques which allow non-autoradiographic detection of specific nucleic acid sequences has opened new possibilities for rapid diagnosis at the nucleic acid level. there are already practical applications. however, in order to fully compete with radioactive procedures an increase in sensitivity is still desired. | 2007 | 2435580 |

| inhibitory effect of alpha 2-macroglobulin on vibrio vulnificus protease. | vibrio vulnificus, an etiologic agent of wound infections and septicemia in humans, elaborates a metalloprotease which is known to be an important virulence factor of the vibrio. the proteolytic activity of v. vulnificus metalloprotease (vvp) toward casein and elastin was inhibited by alpha 2-macroglobulin (alpha 2 m) at the molar ratio of 1:1, although partial activity was maintained. permeability-enhancing and hemorrhagic activities were also inhibited, but the peptidase activity toward z-gly- ... | 1989 | 2478526 |
| differential immunohistochemical localization of cytokeratins and collagen types i and iii in experimentally-induced cirrhosis. | liver cirrhosis was induced in male wistar rats by subcutaneous injection (1 ml of 30 g/l) of an aqueous solution of thioacetamide. using the indirect immunoperoxidase technique, high molecular weight keratins were localized in bile ducts and ductules. low molecular weight cytokeratins were present in regenerating hepatocytes in active cirrhosis; bile ducts were unstained. these results suggest that cytokeratin staining may be useful in distinguishing bile duct epithelium and hepatocytes in hepa ... | 1989 | 2478687 |
| sugar composition of the polysaccharide portion of lipopolysaccharides of vibrio fluvialis, vibrio vulnificus, and vibrio mimicus. | a chemotaxonomic study was carried out on vibrio fluvialis and v. vulnificus on the basis of the sugar composition of the polysaccharide portion of their lipopolysaccharides (lps). a previously developed rapid method of preparing samples for compositional sugar analysis was employed. nineteen o-serogroups of v. fluvialis were divided into 14 chemotypes while seven o-serogroups of v. vulnifucus were divided also into seven chemotypes since the polysaccharide portion of lps of each serogroup has a ... | 1989 | 2482433 |
| hemochromatosis and infection: alcohol and iron, oysters and sepsis. | hemochromatosis, or primary iron overload, is a variably expressed genetic metabolic disorder greatly modified by sex, age, diet, and alcohol consumption. although a diagnosis has been made at the bedside by careful documentation of the slow resolution of subcutaneous iron pigment, clinical diagnosis is frequently overlooked, and even autopsy may fail to reveal hemochromatosis as the cause for cirrhosis. genetic linkage studies have confirmed the extremely high prevalence of this disorder. untre ... | 1989 | 2486533 |

| a simple colorimetric assay method for pyrophosphate in the presence of a 1000-fold excess of orthophosphate: application of the method to the study of pyrophosphate metabolism in mitochondria. | a sensitive colorimetric method for the assay of inorganic pyrophosphate with excess of orthophosphate is described. the principle of this method lies in the formation of phosphomolybdate and ppi-molybdate complexes with subsequent extraction of the phosphomolybdate complex by organic solvents and reduction of the ppi-molybdate complex by dithiothreitol and eikonogen. the sensitivity of the method was from 5 to 120 nmol of ppi in a 2.0-ml sample. | 1989 | 2545112 |
| sodium and potassium currents recorded during an action potential. | a simple method was used to measure directly sodium and potassium currents underlying the action potential in single nerve fibres of xenopus laevis. a short rectangular stimulus under current-clamp conditions elicited an action potential which was digitally stored and later used as command when voltage-clamping the same fibre. the currents thus obtained nearly reproduced the original rectangular stimulus. adding first 100 nm ttx and subsequently 100 nm ttx plus 10 mm tea to the extracellular rin ... | 1989 | 2546753 |
| hypoxic changes in hippocampal neurons. | 1. reversible effects of brief periods of anoxia (replacing 95% o2-5% co2 with 95% n2-5% co2 for 2-4 min) were studied in ca1 neurons in hippocampal slices (from sprague-dawley rats), kept in an interface-type chamber at 33.5 degree. 2. the predominant voltage change during anoxia (n2) was a hyperpolarization, accompanied by a marked fall in resistance and excitability; synaptic potentials were also depressed, especially inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (ipsps). 3. in voltage-current (v-i) plo ... | 1989 | 2547034 |
| binding modes of mammalian hepatic gal/galnac receptors. | mammalian gal/galnac receptors show dramatic preference for three-branched oligosaccharide structures over two- or one-branched counterparts. the spatial arrangement of the gal residues is extremely important for optimal binding. the three terminal gal residues in the best triantennary ligand are about 15-30 a apart, and therefore the sugar-combining sites on the receptor may also have the same geometry. the results obtained with synthetic ligands containing gal or galnac are in agreement with t ... | 2008 | 2551610 |
| phrenic involvement in charcot-marie-tooth disease. a pathologic documentation. | a 69-year-old woman diagnosed as having charcot-marie-tooth disease (cmt) for 30 years' duration died of respiratory failure secondary to diaphragmatic weakness. at autopsy, identical neuropathic changes were found in phrenic and other affected somatic peripheral nerves. we conclude that the phrenic nerve may be involved by the neuropathy of at least some forms of cmt. | 2008 | 2553346 |
