| staghorn calculi in children. | nineteen children who underwent extensive nephrotomies and anatrophic nephrotomies for staghorn calculi (bilateral in 4 cases) are presented. proteus infection was the cause of the calculus in most cases. in the absence of recurrent stones, renal growth and function were excellent post-operatively. stone recurrence was minimal if all calculi were removed and infection was controlled. followup ranged from a few months to 13 years. | 1977 | 875206 |
| small nuclear rna localization during mitosis. an electron microscope study. | the localization of small nuclear ribonucleic acids (snrnas) during mitosis in amoeba proteus was studied by high voltage (1,000 kv) electron microscope autoradiography. by suitable micromanipulations, the snrna's, labeled with [3h]uridine, were made to be the only radioactive molecules in the cell and thus easy to follow autoradiographically. during interphase the snrna label, which is almost exclusively nuclear, is distributed fairly uniformly through the nucleus with a slightly higher amount ... | 1977 | 870500 |

| experimental pyelonephritis in the monkey. iv. vesicoureteral reflux and bacteria. | a model was designed to study the relation between urinary infection and vesicoureteral, low-grade, total reflux. surgical alteration of the ureterovesical junction produced grade 2 vesicoureteral reflux in seven of 13 animals. in the other six animals, surgery had rendered the vesicoureteral junction marginally competent and chronic bladder infection caused grade 2 reflux. it was found that grade 2 vesicoureteral reflux in the adult monkey neither prolongs urinary tract infection nor causes con ... | 1976 | 825481 |
| protection against gram-negative infection by 'super-active' antigen. | 'super-active' antigens modified antigens released from bacteria which had been phagocytosed and killed by human leucocytes, were found to induce protective responses in mice within 24 h of immunization. at the earliest time (24 h) when immunized mice were protected against lethal intrapertoneal (i.p.) challenge by the bacteria from which which the 'super-active' antigens were made (proteus mirabilis) the leucocytes of peripheral blood from immunized mice showed enhanced phagocytosis and killing ... | 1976 | 825449 |
| in vitro comparison of netilmicin, a semisynthetic derivative of sisomicin, and four other aminoglycoside antibiotics. | one hundred isolates of pseudomonas and enterobacteriaceae, of which 85 were chosen because of their resistance to gentamicin or amikacin, were tested for susceptibility to netilmicin (sch 20569), a new semisynthetic derivative of sisomicin, and to four other aminoglycosides. tests were performed in mueller-hinton agar and, with 43 of these isolates, also in mueller-hinton broth. most isolates of escherichia coli, klebsiella, enterobacter, citrobacter, and serratia that were gentamicin resistant ... | 1976 | 825021 |
