assessment of placental function in normal and pathological pregnancies by estimation of plasma oestradiol levels after injection of dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate.a test of placental function was assessed by measurement of plasma oestradiol levels in 32 patients after intravenous injection of 50 mg dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (dhas). every pregnant patient showed a rise in plasma oestradiol after dhas; two puerperal patients showed no rise. it was not possible to distinguish the variable response in normal pregnancy from that in patients with severe hypertension and proteinuria or with retarded intrauterine fetal growth. the test was of no value in on ...2002126694
on the amount of (na+ + k+)-atpase available for transepithelial sodium ion transport in the amphibian skin.pretreatment of frog skin epithelium homogenates with sodium dodecyl sulphate in the presence of atp reveals levels of ouabain-sensitive atpase activity usually higher and occasionally far higher than those required to sustain maximum rates of na+ transport. this supports the view that na+ transport involves only a fraction of the epithelial cells.2002134748
suppression of stimulating cell activity by microtubule-disrupting alkaloids.microtubule-disrupting alkaloids and protein fixatives were used to investigate the nature of an active process that must occur within stimulator cells in order for them to initiate a unidirectional mixed lymphocyte response (mlr). brief treatment of the stimulator cells (sc) with glutaraldehyde (0.15%), formalin (0.6%), or lanthanum chloride (10-3 m) abolished their capacity to activate responder cells (rc). pretreatment of sc with microtubule-disrupting alkaloids, colchicine (c) (10-4 to 10-6 ...2002139505
[the treatment of sudden deafness and menière's disease with papaverin and low molecular weight dextran (author's transl)].this study is concerned with the mean hearing gain in 50 cases of sudden deafness and 40 cases of menière's disease treated with different drugs and treated with papaverin and low molecular weight dextran. the treatment of sudden deafness with papaverin and low molecular dextran was more effective than different drugs. in cases of menière's disease the treatment with different drugs was not effective, but papaverin and low molecular dextran was significantly successful. finally, it is concluded ...2002139517
isoelectric points of polypeptides of standard poliovirus particles of different serological types and of empty capsids and dense particles of poliovirus type 1.the isoelectric points of polypeptides of standard and dense poliovirus particles and of empty capsids have been determined by isoelectric focusing in urea and by two-dimensional analysis. comparing virus strains belonging to the three serological types of poliovirus, differences in the pi of some, but not all of the structural polypeptides are found. the pi of polypeptides of dense particles and of empty capsids are identical with those of standard particles. polypeptide vpo present in empty ca ...1978204736
