translational control mediated by eucaryotic initiation factor-2 is restricted to specific mrnas in transfected cells.	the translational efficiency of mrna molecules transcribed from plasmid dna transfected into cos-1 monkey cells can be increased 10- to 20-fold by the coexpression of the adenovirus virus-associated rnas i and ii. experiments described here demonstrate a similar increase in translational efficiency by the addition of 2-aminopurine, an inhibitor of double-stranded rna-activated protein kinase, to the culture medium. both virus-associated rna and 2-aminopurine presumably exert their effect by alte ...	1987	3600637
metallothionein gene expression is regulated by serum factors and activators of protein kinase c.	the exact physiological role of metallothionein (mt) is not clear. it has been suggested that these low-molecular-weight, highly inducible, heavy-metal-binding proteins serve in the regulation of intracellular zn metabolism. among the zn-requiring systems are several enzymes involved in dna replication and repair. therefore, during periods of active dna synthesis there is likely to be an increased demand for zn, which could be met by elevated mt synthesis. for that reason, we examined whether st ...	2013	3600629

renal oncocytoma: a true clinical entity?	seven cases of renal oncocytoma, representing 4.10% of nephrectomies for tumors of the renal parenchyma between may 1978 and may 1985, are presented. from a thorough analysis of the literature and a comparison of these cases with well-differentiated, noninvasive clear-cell carcinomas, it can be concluded that renal oncocytoma is a variant of the wide spectrum of renal carcinomas. hence, its clinical and therapeutical approach must not differ from that of the rest of the parenchymatous renal tumo ...	2013	3582457
the biotransformation of thioridazine to thioridazine 5-sulfoxide stereoisomers in phenobarbital induced rats.	the disposition and urinary elimination of thioridazine 5-sulfoxide (ring sulfoxide) following subacute administration of thioridazine was investigated in control and phenobarbital (pb) induced rats. the ring sulfoxide exists as two stereoisomeric pairs, identified by high performance liquid chromatography as fast eluting (rsf) and slow eluting (rss) ring sulfoxide. no major differences were detected in the distribution in serum or tissue of the ring sulfoxide between control and induced animals ...	1986	3582423
[modulating effect of immunotherapy with modified tumor cells in transplantable lymphoma].	vibrio cholerici neuraminidase was studied on cba mice for its effect on the strain nk/ly lymphoid cells oncogenicity in intraabdominal transplantation. the 30% decrease in transplantability of cells treated by the enzyme in the dose of 50 u/ml was established. the modulating effect of specific active immunotherapy by modified cells in lymphoma was also studied. a pronounced stimulation of immunity t-cell links and proliferation in immunocompetent organs, an increase in the number of large granu ...	1987	3582237

physiologic and biochemical effects of immobilization on muscle.	muscle strength rapidly declines during limb immobilization because of a decrease in muscle size and a decrease in tension per unit of muscle cross-sectional area. muscle fatigability also increases rapidly after limb immobilization. muscles within limbs fixed by plaster casts have lower levels of resting glycogen and adenosine triphosphate (atp), a more rapid depletion of muscle glycogen and atp during work, a greater increase in lactate during work, and a decreased capacity to oxidize fatty ac ...	1987	3581565
evaluation of a new non-invasive semiautomatic blood pressure monitoring device.	the accuracy of a new device for indirect blood pressure measurement was evaluated by comparison with the intra-arterial pressure measurement. the device is based on the korotkoff's method using a cuff and a microphone, but is characterized by a two-channel recorder to monitor the cuff pressure and the events picked up by the microphone. the blood pressure is determined automatically by a computer program which analyzes the microphone signal during a cuff deflation, and manually by the same crit ...	2013	3581485
photosynthetic action spectra of the energy storage in bundle sheath cells of zea mays.	photosynthetic action spectra (formula: see text), (carpentier, r., larue, b. and leblanc, r. (1984) arch. biochem. biophys. 228, 534-543.), from 400 to 750 nm were studied in bundle sheath cells of maize. photosynthetic action spectra in the presence of 10 mm ascorbate or 4 mm ribose-5-phosphate were increased and shifted through all the spectra. after the addition of 10 microm dcmu photosynthetic action spectra were remarkably diminished. on the basis of these results we suggest that the role ...	2012	3579902
the effect of sodium phenytoin on central nervous system oxygen toxicity.	the effect of sodium phenytoin on hyperbaric oxygen (hbo) induced central nervous system (cns) toxicity was studied in rats. the latency of the epileptic electroencephalographic discharges was measured in 20 phenytoin-treated rats exposed to 6 ata of 100% oxygen, and compared with that of 20 saline-injected rats exposed to the same pressure of pure oxygen. no statistically significant difference was found in the latency between the two groups. in addition, phenytoin failed to suppress or to modi ...	1987	3579804
