serum alkaline phosphatase activity in acrodermatitis enteropathica: an index of the serum zinc level.	a significant positive correlation between serum zinc and serum alkaline phosphatase levels was demonstrated in four patients suffering from acrodermatitis enterophathica for which they received oral zinc sulphate therapy. in one of the male patients a significant inverse relation between serum zinc and serum copper was found.	1999	84482
porphyria cutanea tarda associated with lymphoma.	three patients with porphyria cutanea tarda and lymphoma were seen at the mayo clinic. in one patient, the signs and symptoms of porphyria cutanea tarda and lymphoma occurred simultaneously, whereas in the other two, the porphyria was seen before the lymphoma occurred, three years before in one and one and a half years before in the other. involvement of liver or marrow was not related to the development of porphyria cutanea tarda in any of the 3 patients. the porphyria cutanea tarda was not eas ...	1999	84468
external layers of rickettsia prowazekii and rickettsia rickettsii: occurrence of a slime layer.	using a simple specific-antibody stabilization procedure on organisms gently liberated from their host cells, we have demonstrated by electron microscopy that rickettsia prowazekii and rickettsia rickettsii possess a coat of variable thickness, external to the outer leaflet of the cell wall and the structure designated by others as a "microcapsule," which corresponds most closely to the slime layer of certain other bacteria. reactions in the methenamine silver and ruthenium red staining procedur ...	1978	83297
plaque assay and cloning of scrub typhus rickettsiae in irradiated l-929 cells.	it was demonstrated that gamma-irradiated l-929 cells support plaque formation by three strains of rickettsia tsutsugamushi and representative species of the spotted fever and typhus group rickettsiae. sensitivity of the plaque assay for detection of viable scrub typhus rickettsiae was similar to that achieved with intraperitoneal inoculation of random-bred mice. the concentration of irradiated cells and the temperature and length of incubation were all found to affect plaque size. a technique c ...	1977	69632
proteolytic enzymes of the k-1 strain of streptomyces griseus obtained from a commercial preparation (pronase). effect of ph, metal ions, and amino acids on aminopeptidase activity.		1978	22544
massive occurrence of rickettsiae of the spotted fever group in fowl tampan, argas persicus, in the armenian s.s.r.	fowl tampans (argas persicus) collected in oktemberyan in the armenian s.s.r. in 1974 were found to be massively infected with rickettsiae of the spotted fever (sf) group. one isolated rickettsial strain, designated armenia 9, is antigenically related to, and probably identical with, strain armenia 11 and strain b of rickettsia slovaca, isolated from dermacentor marginatus ticks. strain armenia 9 grows readily in chick embryo yolk sacs and in chick embryo cell (cec) and l-cell cultures. it cause ...	1977	22239

tick-borne diseases in the united states: rocky mountain spotted fever and colorado tick fever. a review.	the historical, clinical, ecological, and epidemiological features of rocky mountain spotted fever and colorado tick fever, the two important tick-borne diseases in the united states, are reviewed. rocky mountain spotted fever, once considered a disease of the past, has again become a measurable public health problem. its nationwide incidence has steadily increased since 1960 and has reached record proportions in 1976. the various factors responsible for this trend as well as for the mortality r ...	1977	19954
scanning and transmission electron microscopy of rickettsia rickettsii propagated in cell culture.	scanning electron microscopy utilizing critical-point drying and transmission electron microscopy employing air-dried agar pseudoreplicas and critical-point dried carbon replicas were used to study the surface of rickettsia rickettsii propagated in cell culture.	1977	18928
drain-cover injuries in children.	this report highlights unnecessary injuries to the hands, forearms, and feet of small children, caused by falling drain-cover gratings, colloquially known as "shores". it is suggested that a simple locking device, similar to that employed on manhole covers, would eliminate this type of injury.	2000	14764
