[establishment of a spontaneously transformed human fetal lung cell line and its biological characteristics].a spontaneously transformed human fetal lung cell line (hflt) was derived from a human fetal lung diploid fibroblast cell line (2bs) by continuous culture. the biological characteristics of this cell line were studied and compared with those of 2bs cells. accompanying the morphological alteration, the growth rate of the transformed cell was accelerated and the maximum cell density was increased. the anchorage-independent growth was shown by its ability to form colonies in soft agar. the collagen ...19863769747
[diagnosis and treatment of neuroblastoma in children--analysis of 98 patients].from 1959 to 1982, 98 patients with neuroblastoma were treated in our hospital. seventy-eight were diagnosed by pathology and 69 (88.5%) were followed for 1 approximately 18 years. 50(51%) had already had distant metastasis (22, to bone) on admission. operation was performed on 53 patients (total excision on 18, partial excision on 11 and biopsy on 24 patients). the 1 and 15 year survival rates were 31.4% and 12.9%. the survival curve levelled off from the second year of the operation and remain ...20093769741
effects of subchronic pyridostigmine pretreatment on the toxicity of soman.the effect of subchronic pyridostigmine pretreatment on the toxicity of soman, in the absence of supporting therapy (atropine, oxime, and (or) anticonvulsant), as well as its effect on muscarinic cholinoceptor binding characteristics was assessed in the rat. pretreatment with pyridostigmine by means of an implanted alzet osmotic minipump for a 5-day total exposure dose of 12 mg/kg inhibited whole blood acetylcholinesterase activity by 73%. this pyridostigmine pretreatment lowered the soman ld50 ...19863768795
antiprotease capacity in acute pancreatitis.serial measurements of circulating antiproteases were carried out on 42 consecutive patients admitted with acute pancreatitis. in the 7 days following admission the serum levels of alpha 1 antitrypsin (alpha 1 at), alpha 1 antichymotrypsin (alpha 1 act) and the trypsin inhibitory capacity (tic) increased by more than 300 per cent. the serum concentration of alpha 2 macroglobulin (alpha 2 m) alone showed a decline which was most profound in those patients with severe acute pancreatitis. initial e ...20103768647
