a focus of rocky mountain spotted fever within new york city.	in the spring and summer of 1987, four persons acquired rocky mountain spotted fever within new york city, an area in which the disease had not previously been known to be endemic. three of the four patients were residents of the soundview area of the bronx. all diagnoses were confirmed by indirect fluorescent-antibody tests. environmental investigation revealed that the tick vector for rickettsia rickettsii, dermacentor variabilis, was present in a local park. of the 66 specimens of d. variabil ...	1988	3130574
in vitro evaluation of josamycin, spiramycin, and erythromycin against rickettsia rickettsii and r. conorii.	the antimicrobial activities of josamycin, erythromycin, and spiramycin against rickettsia conorii and r. rickettsii were evaluated in two tests: a dye-uptake assay and a plaque assay. the mic of josamycin was 1 microgram/ml for both species; the mics of erythromycin and spiramycin were 4 to 8 and 16 to 32 micrograms/ml, respectively, for both species. only josamycin may be of clinical use in treating spotted fever rickettsiosis. it may be useful in treating pregnant women and young children.	1988	3129987
[experimental chemo- and chemoendocrine therapy of human breast carcinomas serially transplanted into nude mice].	four human breast carcinoma strains serially transplanted into nude mice were used for the experimental chemotherapy and combination chemoendocrine therapy. whereas three of these strains (mcf-7, br-10, tm-61) possessed cytosol estrogen receptor (erc) and were dependent on estradiol for the tumor growth, the other strain (mx-1) without erc was hormone independent. for the chemotherapy, mitomycin c (mmc), adriamycin (adm), cyclophosphamide (cpm) and 5-fluorouracil (5-fu) were administered 3 times ...	1988	3129645
update: acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids)--worldwide.	as of march 21, 1988, 136 countries or territories throughout the world had reported a total of 84,256 cases of aids to the global programme on aids (gpa) (formerly the special programme on aids) of the world health organization (who). 37 countries or territories had reported no aids cases. reports are based on either the centers for disease control (cdc)/who surveillance definition, the who clinical definition, or a physician's diagnosis. from 1979 through march 21, 1988, the number of aids cas ...	2011	3129644
limited proteolysis of bovine adrenodoxin reductase: evidence for a domain structure.	treatment of bovine adrenodoxin reductase with trypsin under conditions of limited proteolysis yields two major fragments of apparent molecular weights 30,500 and 20,200. the fragments, which have been partially purified by affinity chromatography to remove most of the intact adrenodoxin reductase, retain adrenodoxin-dependent nadph cytochrome c reductase activity. kinetic analyses yield vmax and km (adrenodoxin) values of 485 min-1 and 0.96 microm, respectively, at an ionic strength of 0.13 m i ...	1988	3128975
clinical, hematologic, and humoral immune response in female dogs inoculated with rickettsia rickettsii and rickettsia montana.	female beagles were inoculated intradermally with a sublethal dose of rickettsia rickettsii and r montana. three dogs (group 1) were inoculated with 2 x 10(2) plaque-forming units (pfu) of r rickettsia and were treated with tetracycline beginning on postinoculation day (pid) 12; 3 dogs (group 2) were inoculated with 2 x 10(2) pfu of r rickettsii but were not treated; 3 dogs (group 3) were inoculated with 2 x 10(2) pfu of r montana. group-3 dogs failed to seroconvert and were inoculated a second ...	1988	3128147
