infectious in vivo transcripts of a plum pox potyvirus full-length cdna clone containing the cauliflower mosaic virus 35s rna promoter.	a full-length cdna clone of an aphid non-transmissible isolate of plum pox potyvirus (ppv) was rendered biologically active when placed under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35s rna promoter and the nopaline synthase polyadenylation signal. the cdna was constructed so that the exact 5' end of the ppv rna was present at the transcription initiation site. inoculation of plasmid dna onto nicotiana benthamiana led to systemic infection, whereas local lesions were produced in chenopodium ...	1992	1545225

a highly sensitive immunocapture polymerase chain reaction method for plum pox potyvirus detection.	a highly sensitive assay, based on polymerase chain reaction amplification of cdna synthesized from the viral rna of antibody-captured viral particles, has been developed for plum pox potyvirus (ppv) detection. the reaction, called immunocapture/pcr (ic/pcr), yields a specific 243-bp product. the immunocapture step, by allowing the use of large sample volumes and by the viral particle prepurification it achieves, dramatically increases the sensitivity of the assay. as few as 8000 target viral pa ...	1992	1430063
the complete nucleotide sequence of pepper mottle virus genomic rna: comparison of the encoded polyprotein with those of other sequenced potyviruses.	the complete nucleotide sequence of a pepper mottle virus isolate from california (pepmov c) has been determined from cloned viral cdnas. the pepmov c genomic rna is 9640 nucleotides excluding the poly(a) tail and contains a long open reading frame starting at nucleotide 168 and potentially encoding a polyprotein of 3068 amino acids. comparison of the pepmov c presumptive polyprotein with those of other sequenced members of the potyvirus group, including tobacco etch virus (tev), tobacco vein mo ...	1992	1413501

construction of a chimeric viral gene expressing plum pox virus coat protein.	the capsid-encoding gene of plum pox virus (ppv) was fused with the leader sequence of the coat protein mrna (cp) of tobacco mosaic virus by a novel mutagenesis technique which involves reverse transcription of minus-strand rna [synthesized by in vitro transcription of a double-stranded (ds) cdna clone], using an ad hoc synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide as primer. the resulting cdna was rendered ds and cloned into the plasmid, pbluescribe m13+. transcription of this chimeric construction produced r ...	1992	1398133
[the type of coma as prognostic indicator in severe cranial trauma in childhood].	various methods are used by neurologists to evaluate posttraumatic brain damage. the most important and reliable are the length of posttraumatic amnesia and coma. in previous papers we have already described the value of the type of coma in the prognosis of serious head injury in childhood (baracchini-muratorio et al. 1985; pruneti et al. 1985). in this study, 30 children (aged 6-12 years) with serious closed head injury and subsequent coma were evaluated. the children were divided into two grou ...	1992	1294915
[antimutagenic substances in the armeniacae semen and persicae semen].	using the ames/salmonella/microsome assay, we examined the antimutagenic effect of the hexane extract of armeniacae semen (apricot (prunus armeniaca l.) seed), persicae semen (peach (p. persica bat.) seed), and seeds of cherry (p. avium l.), plum (p. salicina lindle) and almond (p. dulcis mill). hexane extracts of armeniacae semen and persicae semen inhibited the mutagenicity of benzo[a]pyrene (b[a]p), but those of seeds of cherry, plum and almond did not. the mutagenicities of 3-amino-1,4-dimet ...	1992	1294719

systemic endotheliomatosis: a case report.	a 48-year-old caucasian man was found to have a rare neoplastic process of vascular endothelial origin. the clinical presentation was that of plum-colored cutaneous plaques of the lower extremities. the histopathology, natural history, and treatment of this case are discussed and compared with previously reported cases. it is suggested that this disease entity represents a malignant state with systemic involvement and a poor prognosis.	1975	1141448
[possibilities for error in the diagnosis of craniopharyngiomas].	age of affection, preferential seat, clinical picture and instrumental diagnosis of craniopharyngiomas are discussed on the basis of 30 observations. although childhood and adolescence are the leading age groups, there also was a 64-year-old patient. three courses of the disease were selected: a 6-year-old girl presented both clinically and by instrumental examination indications of a cerebellar tumour; a mandarin-sized arachnoid cyst near the midline was removed. one year later, a suprasellar c ...	1977	921846
airborne and surface residues of parathion and its conversion products in a treated plum orchard environment.	airborne pesticide residues were collected both within and downwind from a parathion-treated plum orchard by high volume sampling through xad-4 macroreticular resin. levels of paraoxon in excess of 100 ng/m3 were found in orchard air, along with parathion, during the early days of two 21-day sampling studies. paraoxon:parathion ratios in the orchard air were relatively constant, averaging ca. 0.5 for days 1 to 21 following treatment. likely sources of airborne paraoxon include vaporization and d ...	1977	901000
[sarcoma uteri and neurofibrosarcoma in a case of recklinghausen's disease].	a case of neurofibromatosis recklinghausen with sarcoma uteri is reported. after 23 years absence of recidivity a plum-sized, hard tumor was diagnosed in the left inguinal region. primarily this tumor was thought to be a late relapse of sarcoma uteri, but in fact it was a neurofibrosarcoma. the connections between sarcoma uteri and neurofibrosarcoma is discussed, because a new histological examination could detect neurofibromal cells in the uterine tumor.	1975	812291
[contribution to the differential diagnosis of lung infarct, pulmonary tuberculosis and lung neoplasms].	it is reported on the rare case of a symptom-free, atypically localised haemorrhagic pulmonary infarction without provable cause in a 52-year-old male. the patient became conspicuous on account of a plum-sized focal shadow in the right lateral upper field detected during a mass examination. the state was regarded as bronchial. carcinoma. operation and following histological investigation of the resection preparation finally resulted in the diagnosis.	1978	735250

[verification of the plum pox virus (ppv) using the tray test (author's transl)].	a comparison of 6 host plants reacting by local lesion if infected by the plum pox virus (ppv) demonstrated that beside chenopodium foetidum schrad. also nicandra physaloides (l). gärtner, nicardra physaloides violacea bitter and verbena officinalis l. are pretty well suitable to verify the ppv serving as locally reacting test plants. using the tray test, the ppv was verifiable by separated leaves of c. foetidum schrad., n. physaloides violacea bitter, n. physaloides (l.) gärtner and v. officina ...	1978	664936
acute whisker removal reduces neuronal activity in barrels of mouse sml cortex.	the autoradiographic 2-deoxy-d glucose (2-dg) method has been used to map relative changes in metabolic activity in the cns during various functional states (plum et al., '76). here we describe the application of the 2-dg method to assay regional activity in the posteromedial barrel subfield (pmbsf) region of the mouse smi cortex after acute removal of mystacial vibrissae. one day prior to isotope injection, various combinations of vibrissae (e.g., all vibrissae, row-c only, rows-b and -d only) ...	1978	632373

a progress report on the status of a new disease of american cats: cytauxzoonosis.	a protozoon disease of domestic cats in the u.s.a. which resembled diseases of african ungulates caused by blood parasites of the family theileridae and the genus cytauxzoon was first described by scientists of the university of missouri in 1976. the plum island animal disease center of the u.s. department of agriculture (usda) became involved in an effort to discover the relationship of the parasite to those of african species and to ascertain if the disease posed a threat to american livestock ...	1979	122558
mapping of local cerebral functional activity by measurement of local cerebral glucose utilization with [14c]deoxyglucose.	a method has been developed to measure the rates of glucose utilization in the individual structural and functional components of the central nervous system. it can be applied to conscious as well as anaesthetized animals. the method is based on the use of [14c]deoxyglucose as a tracer for glucose consumption. [14c]deoxyglucose-6-phosphate accumulates in the tissue in a mathematically definable relationship to the rate of the tissue's glucose utilization. the [14c]deoxyglucose-6-phosphate concen ...	1979	116709
