the development of immunological relationship between mother and fetus under physiological and pathological conditions.on the basis of results of our research and review of literature, the complex of immuno logical influences, operating during the development of the human fetus, were evaluated. it is obvious that during the early stages of pregnancy the conceptus is protected by non-specific mechanisms, i.e. hormonally (hcg, progesterone) and by certain properties of the trophoblast (barrier function, immunologically inert surface). specific immunological tolerance is formed by gradual penetration of trophoblast ...19883147589
adverse reaction of acetaminophen as an alternative analgesic in a.a.s. triad.the syndrome of a.a.s. triad consisting of an intolerance to analgesics such as aspirin, bronchial asthma and nasal polyps, is every day more frequent. during the last years, the use of acetaminophen as an analgesic-antipyretic alternative in patients with a.a.s. triad has been imperative. however, there are already publications that show reversible bronchial obstruction symptoms similar to the ones produced by a.a.s., though of less intensity. a study was performed in 32 patients diagnosed of a ...20113147588
the effect of hypophysectomy on inhibin production by adult rat ovaries: changes in ovarian inhibin gene expression and serum inhibin.we have investigated the effect of hypophysectomy on adult rat ovarian inhibin alpha- and beta a-subunit mrna, serum inhibin, and circulating gonadotrophin levels. immediate declines in ovarian inhibin gene expression and serum inhibin were observed following hypophysectomy, with a nadir on day 4. however, inhibin synthesis determined by these parameters was still apparent at 16 days post-hypophysectomy. gonadotropin levels were suppressed following hypophysectomy and the fall in inhibin product ...19883147584
the impact of long-term lithium treatment on renal function and structure.the effects of long-term lithium treatment on kidney function have been intensively studied. both retrospective and prospective functional studies have shown that prolonged lithium treatment has a profound influence on renal tubular function, and may result in reduced renal concentrating capacity and increased urine volumes. more important, long-term lithium administration at non-toxic serum levels has little demonstrable or no effect at all on glomerular function. prospective studies found no e ...20113147581
effect of glycosylation inhibitors on the binding of insulin and lectins and on hormonal imprinting in tetrahymena.treatment of the unicellular tetrahymena with inhibitors of glycosylation (glucosamine or 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose) leads, with a few exceptions, to enhancement of the binding of fitc-labelled insulin and lectins (con-a, helix, datura). the development of insulin-evoked imprinting (i.e., the enhancement of binding at subsequent contacts) is not prevented by the administration of glucosamine. meanwhile the administration of fluoroglucose results, on its own, in enhanced binding. this increased ...20113147568

[control of growth hormone release by growth hormone-releasing factor and prostaglandin e2 in a system of perfused rat anterior pituitary cells].using superfused rat pituitary cells we showed that the growth hormone-releasing factor (grf) and prostaglandin e2 (pge2) increased growth hormone (gh) secretion in a similar manner in terms of kinetics and amplitude of responses. moreover, our data suggest that they stimulate gh secretion mainly by camp-dependent mechanisms.19883131855
class switching from gamma 3 to gamma 2b in a murine pre-b cell line.class switching from gamma 3 to gamma 2b production at pre-b cell stage was observed in an abelson virus-transformed murine immature cell line that is able to perform vh to djh recombinations followed by class switch recombinations. a series of southern blotting experiments indicates that the class switching from gamma 3 to gamma 2b was mediated by the deletion mechanism of the intervening ch genes on the expressed chromosome and that the break points in the switch recombinations might be differ ...19883131665

valproate-associated hepatotoxicity and its biochemical mechanisms.intake of the anticonvulsant drug valproic acid, or its sodium salt, has been associated with occasional instances of severe and sometimes fatal hepatotoxicity. probably at least 80 cases have occurred worldwide. the syndrome affects perhaps 1 in 10,000 persons taking the drug, and usually develops in the early weeks or months of therapy. most instances have involved children, usually those receiving more than 1 anticonvulsant. multiple cases have occurred in 2 families. the typical presentation ...20113131628

kinetic analysis of the ca2+-dependent, membrane-bound, macrophage phospholipase a2 and the effects of arachidonic acid.the kinetics of the ca2+-dependent, alkaline ph optimum, membrane-bound phospholipase a2 from the p388d1 macrophage-like cell line were studied using various phosphatidylcholine (pc) and phosphatidylethanolamine (pe) substrates. this enzyme exhibits "surface dilution kinetics" toward pc in triton x-100 mixed micelles, and the "dual phospholipid model" was found to adequately describe its kinetic behavior. with substrate in the form of sonicated vesicles, the dual phospholipid model should give r ...20113131322
