structural specificity of diamines covalently linked to peptidoglycan for cell growth of veillonella alcalescens and selenomonas ruminantium.putrescine and cadaverine are essential constituents of the peptidoglycan of veillonella alcalescens, veillonella parvula, and selenomonas ruminantium and are necessary for the growth of these organisms (y. kamio and k. nakamura, j. bacteriol. 169:2881-2884, 1987, and y. kamio, h. pösö, y. terawaki, and l. paulin, j. biol. chem. 261:6585-6589, 1986). in this study, the structural specificity of the diamine requirement for normal cell growth of these bacteria was examined by using a series of dia ...19873654585
pulmonary involvement in giant cell arteritis.while clinically suspected in some cases, pulmonary lesions in giant cell arteritis have rarely been described pathologically. we report the findings at autopsy in an elderly woman with typical giant cell arteritis. in addition to inflammation of temporal and other major systemic vessels, large- and medium-sized pulmonary arteries showed focal necrosis as well as medial granulomatous inflammation. these findings, as well as a review of previous clinical and pathologic reports, emphasize that the ...20133675156
hemagglutinating activity of lipopolysaccharides from subgingival plaque bacteria.lipopolysaccharide (lps) preparations from the bacteroides species b. endodontalis, b. intermedius, b. denticola, and b. melaninogenicus and from fusobacterium nucleatum, haemophilus actinomycetemcomitans, capnocytophaga gingivalis, and eikenella corrodens directly agglutinated erythrocytes of some kinds of animals. lpss from the bacteroides species b. gingivalis, b. asaccharolyticus, b. corporis, and b. loescheii and from capnocytophaga ochracea did not possess any hemagglutinating activity. pr ...19873679548

levodopa pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in fluctuating parkinsonian patients.we investigated levodopa intravenous infusion rates, plasma concentrations, and clinical responses in 23 parkinsonian patients with a fluctuating response to the drug. there was a linear relationship between rate of levodopa infusion and plasma concentration when carbidopa was coadministered. minimum-therapeutically effective plasma concentrations of levodopa ranged from 3 to 12 nmol/ml. the duration, but not the magnitude, of clinical response was linearly related to plasma concentrations. the ...20133703280
mathematical model of the metabolism of 123i-16-iodo-9-hexadecenoic acid in an isolated rat heart. validation by comparison with experimental measurements.the aim of the present study was to demonstrate that it is possible to estimate the intracellular metabolism of a fatty acid labelled with iodine using external radioactivity measurements. 123i-16-iodo-9-hexadecenoic acid (iha) was injected close to the coronary arteries of isolated rat hearts perfused according to the langendorff technique. the time course of the cardiac radioactivity was measured using an ina crystal coupled to an analyser. the obtained curves were analysed using a four-compar ...19863709563

reduction of immunoreactive prostacyclin metabolite after paralysis in ventilated preterm infants.levels of the stable metabolite of prostacyclin, 6-keto-prostaglandin f1 alpha (6-keto-pgf1 alpha) were measured by radioimmunoassay during the first 48 hours of life in a group of 20 infants ventilated for the respiratory distress syndrome in whom a simultaneous record of respiratory activity was made. 6-keto-pgf1 alpha was significantly lower when the infants were paralysed (p = 0.0004) than when they were breathing spontaneously. elimination of the capacity for spontaneous respiration may red ...20133754206
epidemiologic studies on possible health effects of intake of pyrolyzates of foods, with reference to mortality among japanese seventh-day adventists.to elucidate the effect of intake of mutagenic and/or carcinogenic pyrolysis products of proteins and amino acids on carcinogenesis in man, we have undertaken two epidemiologic cohort studies: one concerning the possible association of broiled fish consumption with cancer and the other concerning the cancer mortality among japanese seventh-day adventists. the main findings of these studies are described.19863757950
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
functional interactions of the domains of the adenovirus dna binding protein.the 34-kda fragment of the carboxyl end of the adenovirus (ad) dna binding protein (dbp) binds to single-stranded (ss) dna and is able to replace the intact 72-kda dbp needed for ad dna replication in vitro. a similar fragment prepared from the temperature-sensitive (ts) mutant, h5ts107, which has a single amino acid change in the carboxyl end of the dbp, is temperature sensitive for dna replication and defective in binding to ssdna. however, in 20 mm nacl which is the salt concentration during ...20133811231
