betamethasone and the rhesus fetus: multisystemic effects.	in this controlled study of betamethasone administration to pregnant rhesus monkeys, using dosages per gram of fetal body weight similar to those reported in several human clinical studies, the most significant fetal pulmonary changes observed were increases in maximum lung volumes. the fact that comparable increases in peak volumes were demonstrated on saline filling supports our contention that these changes are related primarily to lung structural alterations rather than surfactant effects. a ...	1979	106730
[seasonal changes in spermatozoas and fertility of stallions in the tropics].	an attempt was made to express the relationship of spermiological characteristics with the fertility on the basis of seasonal variability of the fertility of stallions and of the ejaculate quality. a positive correlation between the activity of spermatozoa and the fertility ensues from the values of correlation coefficients. there is a negative correlation between the fertility and the concentration of citric acid. in the other characteristics, i.e. in the production of spermatozoa, volume of ge ...	1998	106512

trace polypeptides in cellular extracts and human body fluids detected by two-dimensional electrophoresis and a highly sensitive silver stain.	development of a highly sensitive silver stain permits the characterization of trace cellular and body fluid proteins separated by the two-dimensional electrophoresis technique of o'farrell. many of the proteins detected by the silver stain in urine, spinal fluid, amniotic fluid, and cells were undetected with the widely used coomassie blue stain. trace polypeptides observed in escherichia coli cell lysates with this silver stain could be detected previously only by growth in radioactive precurs ...	1979	92027
binding of purified, soluble major histocompatibility complex polypeptide chains onto isolated t-cell receptors. i. reactivity against allo- and self-determinants.	in this study, we tried to get information about the fine antigen-binding ability of purified, soluble, idiotype-positive t-cell receptor molecules. lewis anti-da t-cell receptors were purified from normal lewis serum by the use of anti-idiotypic immunosorbent and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel, and were coupled to cyanogen bromide-activated sepharose 4b. in parallel, lewis anti-da, lewis anti-bn, and da anti-lewis alloantibody immunosorbents were prepared. the major ag-b chain (44,00 ...	1979	91653
use of immunoadsorbents for the study of antibody binding to sperm whale myoglobin and its synthetic antigenic sites.	conditions for preparing immunoadsorbents of sperm-whale myoglobin and its five synthetic antigenic sites and for desorption of radiolabeled antibodies from the immunoadsorbents were studied. in immunoadsorbent titration studies, the sum of the amounts of antibodies bound in the plateau (maximum binding) by the adsorbents of the five sites accounted quantitatively for the entire (100%) antibody response to sperm-whale myoglobin.	1999	91647

the use of avidin-biotin interaction in immunoenzymatic techniques.	biotin was covalently attached to antibodies, antigens and enzymes, and the effects of this labeling on the antigen and antibody binding capacity and on enzymatic activity were tested. based on avidin-biotin interaction, the labeled proteins were used in quantitative enzyme-immunoassay and enzyme-immunohistochemical staining procedures. two procedures were developed. in the first procedure, named the bridged avidin-biotin (brab) technique four steps were used sequentially in order to quantify or ...	1979	90074
distribution of myosin isoenzymes among skeletal muscle fiber types.	using an immunocytochemical approach, we have demonstrated a preferential distribution of myosin isoenzymes with respect to the pattern of fiber types in skeletal muscles of the rat. in an earlier study, we had shown that fluorescein-labeled antibody against "white" myosin from the chicken pectoralis stained all the white, intermediate and about half the red fibers of the rat diaphragm, a fast-twitch muscle (gauthier and lowey, 1977). we have now extended this study to include antibodies prepare ...	1979	90047
histamine-releasing effect of a corticotrophin derivative. ii. mechanism of action of histamine release by c 44 680-ba, compared with that of cpd. 48/80, dextran and triton.	the mechanism of the histamine-liberating action of the synthetic polypeptide c 44 680-ba, an alkyl-prolyl derivative of beta 1-19 corticotrophin, was investigated and compared with those of compound 48/80, dextran, melittin and triton x-100. it was found that the release of histamine from rat peritoneal cells induced by the polypeptide is dependent on temperature, ph, calcium ions and energy-providing processes. in regard to these criteria, the mode of action of this histamine liberator resembl ...	1979	89804
independent learning packages (audio tape/pamphlet) for a course in cell excitation: evidence that they can be at least as effective as conventional lectures.	three tape/pamphlet independent learning packages have been constructed to serve the same learning objectives as three conventional lectures on the physiology of the nerve axon. the learning efficacy of each package was compared with that of its companion lecture with the co-operation of fifty first-year medical students in a controlled experiment. the packages were at least as effective as the lectures in generating both short- and long-term attainment of their intrinsic learning objectives. th ...	2000	89619
duct obstruction with an acrylate glue for treatment of chronic alcoholic pancreatitis.	six patients have been treated for chronic alcoholic pancreatitis by total obstruction of the pancreatic duct. in each instance the pancreatic duct was of near normal calibre, and any other procedure would have involved pancreatic resection. there has been little morbidity, and three of six cases have had complete pain relief.	1999	89560

benign prostatic hypertrophy: when should you consider prostatectomy for your patient?	watching the way a patient voids is the easiest way to determine the presence of prostatic obstruction. uroflowmetry can objectively measure the amount of obstruction. clinical evaluation of prostatism should include an intravenous urogram, serum creatinine determination, urinalysis, urine culture, and cystoscopy. suspicious areas of induration in the prostate should be biopsied. surgery is not required for most men with prostatic hypertrophy. indications for prostatectomy are severe symptoms of ...	2000	87358
tissue cea in premalignant epithelial lesions and epidermoid carcinoma of the uterine cervix: prognostic significance.	carcinoembryonic antigen (cea) was studied by the indirect triple-bridge immunoperoxidase method in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue specimens from 191 patients with premalignant epithelial lesions or epidermoid carcinoma of the uterine cervix treated 12 years ago. the frequency of tissue cea positivity was found to increase with advancing clinical disease in the following manner: mild dysplasia, 25%; severe dysplasia, 37%; carcinoma in situ, 60%; invasive carcinoma stage i, 60%; stage ii ...	2000	86522
the use of trypan blue for counterstaining in the sepharose bead immunofluorescence test. the application of the test for the demonstration of primate retrovirus-specific antibodies and antigens.	the sepharose bead immunoflurorescence test was performed by counterstaining the beads with trypan blue. this results in a red staining of negative beads which allows an easy distinction from positive green-fluorescent beads. sepharose beads conjugated with viral proteins or antiviral antibodies were used to demonstrate mason-pfizer monkey virus (mpmw)- and simian sarcoma virus (ssv) - specific antigens or antibodies. the test shows a high sensitivity and specificity and needs a small amount of ...	1978	86253
[intratypical antigenic differentiation of poliovirus strains circulating in mali by means of cross-adsorbed sera].	the intratypic antigenic differentiation of poliovirus strains isolated from sick or healthy children in mali in 1975-1976 was performed. the method is based on the use of cross-adsorbed sera in the neutralization tests in which the virus is titrated by the plaque procedure or by the cytopathic effect. all the examined strains of serologic types i, ii, and iii were distinguished by the antigenic structure from the vaccine strains and were classified as "wild". quantitative differences in the ant ...	1978	86237
