alcohollike liver disease in nonalcoholics. a clinical and histologic comparison with alcohol-induced liver injury.individuals who deny alcohol consumption may develop liver injury that histologically resembles the liver injury found in alcoholic patients. to determine whether any clinical or histologic features distinguish alcoholic and nonalcoholic subjects with "alcohollike" liver injury, the clinical records and liver biopsy specimens of 68 alcoholic and 39 nonalcoholic patients with alcohollike injury on liver biopsy were compared. the clinical and biochemical features of the two groups differed signifi ...20123410220
treatment of the borderline patient, relationship management.the author suggests that not the borderline syndrome itself but many of the worst behaviours of borderline patients are essentially iatrogenic. to do no harm should be the primary goal of any therapist encountering a patient exhibiting borderline features. management of the patient-therapist relationship is paramount and may be in itself the most effective and safe treatment for both crisis situations and longer therapy. a conceptual model borrowing from and bridging self psychology and interper ...20123409153
transient increase of cytosolic free calcium in cultured human vascular endothelial cells by platelet-activating factor.the effect of platelet-activating factor (paf-acether) on cytosolic free calcium, [ca2+]i, in adherent human vascular endothelial cells in culture was directly determined using a new fluorescent calcium indicator, fura-2. it was found that paf-acether but not lyso paf-acether induced a rapid and transient increase in [ca2+]i in endothelial cells. restimulation with paf-acether after the first challenge did not cause further response, while the cells were able to respond to thrombin. in the absen ...19883408504

progesterone regulation of secretory component (sc): uterine sc response in organ culture following in vivo hormone treatment.sex steroid hormones are known to have profound effects on mucosal immunity. in the present study we evaluated the effects of progesterone on the uterine immune system by determining the changes in the levels of secretory component (sc) released from uterine tissues in culture following in vivo administration of progesterone to estradiol-stimulated ovariectomized rats. sc is a transport protein which moves iga into external secretions such as intestinal and uterine secretions. sc release was det ...19883386246

enterotoxigenicity of chicken isolates of campylobacter jejuni in ligated ileal loops of rats.ligated ileal loops in rats of the charles-foster strain, weighing 200-250 g and aged 7-8 months, provided a sensitive and reproducible means of testing the enterotoxigenicity of campylobacter jejuni. all of 16 chicken isolates caused fluid accumulation comparable to that produced by toxigenic vibrio cholerae o1, strain 569b. however, 11 of the isolates required one to three consecutive passages through the rat gut before doing so. the amount of fluid produced increased after each passage. of th ...19883385766
eosinophilic gastroenteropathy in childhood.eosinophilic gastroenteropathy (eg) is an uncommon, idiopathic disease in children that is characterized by eosinophilic inflammation of the intestine. over a 7-year period 17 infants and children with eg were evaluated; the retrospective review of their clinical data constitutes the basis of this report. a scale developed for grading the degree of mucosal eosinophilia was used in the evaluation of the intestinal histopathology; all patients had eosinophilic infiltration that was far more severe ...20103385550

intracellular development of choleraphage phi 149 under permissive and nonpermissive conditions: an electron microscopic study.intracellular development of choleraphage phi 149 following infection of vibrio cholerae and vibrio eltor cells under different conditions was examined by thin-section electron microscopy. degradation of the host dna following infection and formation of mature phage particles inside the infected cells were demonstrated. the concatemeric dna intermediate formed during intracellular replication of phi 149 dna in permissive hosts was resolved. in confirmation of biochemical evidence, no concatemeri ...19883384631
changes of cortical and caudatal unit activity accompanying operant slowing of the extension phase of reaching in rats.activity of neurons in the motor cortex (n = 36) and caudate nucleus (n = 72) was studied in 7 rats trained to slow down reaching into a narrow horizontal tube equipped with an axially moving piston. overtrained rats succeeded in obtaining reward by reducing extension velocity of 30 to 60% reaches below 50% of the normal value. the difficulty of the task was reflected in the amplitude of perireach histograms which showed peaks and troughs corresponding to the main phases of the movement. perirea ...19883384566
pattern ergs and vep topography evoked by lateral eccentric pattern reversal stimulation.in ten healthy subjects we recorded simultaneously pattern-ergs and multichannel veps evoked by checkerboard reversal stimuli presented in the center, and at three different locations on the nasal and temporal retina. in the near periphery significantly larger pattern-erg amplitudes were found for the nasal retina. farther out in the periphery this effect reversed, and stimuli presented to the temporal retina yielded larger pattern-erg amplitudes. component latencies showed also differences with ...20123384565
