| thrombocytosis elevates serum potassium. | spurious elevation of the serum potassium can be seen if the platelet count exceeds 1,000 x 10(9)/l in patients with myeloproliferative disease. to see if serum potassium is increased at more modest elevations of the platelet count we studied these parameters in 283 controls and 161 patients with reactive thrombocytosis. the incidence of hyperkalemia was 34% in patients with over 500 x 10(9) platelets/l compared with 9% if the platelet count was below 250 x 10(9)/l. over this range there was a s ... | 2012 | 3400632 |
| examination of the role of cigarette smoke in lung carcinogenesis using multistage models. | the widely used multistage model of armitage and doll is fit to the british physician lung cancer data of doll and hill under the assumption that cigarette smoke induces the initial and penultimate changes. it is shown that the best fit of this model in continuing smokers gives predictions not in accordance with incidence in ex-smokers and dose-response. a better global fit can be obtained by increasing the number of stages, but this de-emphasizes initiation and is inconsistent with the rise of ... | 2012 | 3398067 |

| differentiation of shigella by esterase electrophoretic polymorphism. | the electrophoretic mobilities of four esterases (a, b, c, and i) of 182 strains of shigella dysenteriae, s. flexneri, s. boydii and s. sonnei were compared to those of 636 strains of escherichia coli from various origins, including the alkalescens dispar group and enteroinvasive strains. discriminant analysis of the distribution of esterases among the strains revealed that shigella could be distinguished from e. coli by differences in the distribution of allozymes of esterases c and i. principa ... | 1987 | 3309172 |
| iron regulation of shiga-like toxin expression in escherichia coli is mediated by the fur locus. | shiga-like toxin is an iron-regulated cytotoxin quite similar to shiga toxin from shigella dysenteriae 1. the structural genes for shiga-like toxin in escherichia coli (slta and sltb) appear to be transcribed as an operon from a promoter upstream of slta. we used a gene fusion between the promoter and proximal portion of slta with the gene for bacterial alkaline phosphatase to assess the regulation of toxin expression. growth in low-iron conditions resulted in a 13- to 16-fold increase in alkali ... | 1987 | 3308853 |
| chronobiology and epidemiology. | epidemiology and chronobiology are two emerging scientific disciplines of the 20th century. in the united states and certain european and asian countries, epidemiology is a well-developed science; however, in many countries the field is not yet well practiced. too, in several european countries and certain centers in the united states, chronobiology is quite well known and respected as a science. yet, in many countries this field is just now being recognized. although epidemiologists are concern ... | 1987 | 3306581 |
| a new chromogenic test for the detection of urokinase in the genus shigella. | a simple test for detection of urokinase in shigella is described. the test is performed by suspending a loopful of bacteria in 100 microliters of a buffered 1mm solution of benzoyl-beta-alanyl glycyl-arginyl-4-nitroanilide acetate (chromozym u). enzymatic activity is revealed by formation of a yellow colour after 24 h of incubation at 37 degrees c. the test is able to differentiate serotypes of shigella dysenteriae, shigella flexneri, shigella boydii. the results suggest the possibility of incl ... | 1987 | 3306294 |
| separation of hemoglobins and hemoglobin chains by high-performance liquid chromatography. | this paper evaluates various high-performance liquid chromatographic (hplc) procedures useful for the detection and evaluation of numerous hemoglobin abnormalities in adults and in newborn infants. two major approaches are discussed. the first concerns the analyses of hemoglobins in red cell lysates by anion- and cation-exchange chromatography; this type of hplc has great potential in a routine laboratory, as quantitative data for numerous abnormalities can readily be obtained. the second concer ... | 2012 | 3305544 |

| [a reservoir of shigella of avian origin: herons and birds of prey of the zoological garden in tananarive]. | the authors record the bacteriological characters of four shigella strains: s. dysenteriae 2 and s. boydii 9, respectively isolated in a bird-of-prey and in three herons, kept in the zoological garden in antananarivo. the significance of this malgasian avian reservoir of shigella is discussed. | 1987 | 3304678 |
| physicochemical characterization of a and b subunits of shiga toxin and reconstitution of holotoxin from isolated subunits. | the a and b subunits of shiga toxin were isolated by high performance liquid chromatography and their physicochemical properties were examined. the a subunit of shiga toxin purified from culture supernatant was not nicked, but it could be nicked in vitro by trypsin. the isoelectric points of the a and b subunits were determined to be 8.2 and 5.8, respectively. amino acid compositions of the two subunits were also determined. the isolated a and b subunits were reconstituted to form active holotox ... | 1987 | 3302622 |

| treatment of bacillary dysentery: a comparison between enoxacin and nalidixic acid. | a prospective randomized study has been conducted in rwanda to compare the efficacy of enoxacin versus nalidixic acid for the treatment of bacillary dysentery in adults. seventeen patients received nalidixic acid and 21 received enoxacin. all isolates (37 shigella, 1 campylobacter) were sensitive in vitro to the two drugs. all patients showed a favourable clinical and bacteriological response and the results obtained with both drugs were comparable. enoxacin seems to be a good alternative to nal ... | 1987 | 3301783 |
| nucleotide sequence of the shiga-like toxin genes of escherichia coli. | we have determined the nucleotide sequence of the slta and sltb genes that encode the shiga-like toxin (slt) produced by escherichia coli phage h19b. the amino acid composition of the a and b subunits of slt is very similar to that previously established for shiga toxin from shigella dysenteriae 1, and the deduced amino acid sequence of the b subunit of slt is identical with that reported for the b subunit of shiga toxin. the genes for the a and b subunits of slt apparently constitute an operon, ... | 1987 | 3299365 |
| epinephrine, glucose, and lactate infusion in exercising adrenodemedullated rats. | the purpose of this study was to determine the metabolic function of the marked increase in plasma epinephrine which occurs in fasted rats during treadmill exercise. fasted adrenodemedullated (adm) and sham-operated (sham) rats were run on a rodent treadmill (21 m/min, 15% grade) for 30 min or until exhaustion. adm rats were infused with saline, epinephrine, glucose, or lactate during the exercise bouts. adm saline-infused rats showed markedly reduced endurance, hypoglycemia, elevated plasma ins ... | 1987 | 3298192 |
| endotoxin neutralization with rabbit antisera to escherichia coli j5 and other gram-negative bacteria. | to study the mechanisms of protection against endotoxin challenge offered by antisera to smooth and rough gram-negative organisms, we have developed an assay to quantitate endotoxin neutralization based on inhibition of the limulus amoebocyte lysate test. dilutions of different bacterial lipopolysaccharides (lpss) were incubated with hyperimmune rabbit sera against escherichia coli o113, e. coli o18, and rough mutants e. coli j5 and salmonella minnesota re595 and were then combined with limulus ... | 1987 | 3298063 |
