comparative sequence analysis, in vitro expression and biosynthesis of mouse prp.	a number of studies have indicated that an endogenous brain protein, prp, is associated with transmissible agents causing spongiform encephalopathies such as scrapie, kuru, and creutzfeldt-jakob disease. it has been proposed that prp derived from scrapie brain is the scrapie agent itself. to test directly whether the prp mrna in scrapie brain tissue can encode the scrapie agent, we expressed prp cdna cloned from scrapie-infected mouse brain in vitro. the expressed prp did not transmit scrapie to ...	1989	2574873
hydrogen peroxide mutagenicity towards salmonella typhimurium.	in bioassays conducted under controlled, comparable conditions, weak direct mutagenicity responses were observed for hydrogen peroxide in the standard (ames test) agar plate incorporation bioassay with salmonella typhimurium strains ta97, ta98, ta102, and ta1537, in a 20 min preincubation test with strains ta97, ta98, ta100, ta102, ta1537, and ta1538, and in a liquid incubation modification using strain ta1537. these results conclusively demonstrate that hydrogen peroxide is a weak mutagen, espe ...	1989	2572065
concept of the existence of human papillomavirus (hpv) dna in histologically normal squamous epithelium of the genital tract should be re-evaluated.	because of the crucial importance of guiding current thinking in the field of hpv epidemiology, the concept of the existence of hpv dna in histologically normal squamous epithelium was re-evaluated. a series of 102 randomly collected cervical punch biopsies, previously proved to contain the dna of hpv types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31 or 33 by in situ hybridization were subjected to analysis for the localization of hpv dna, i.e., whether found in the normal epithelium or at the lesion site only. this mate ...	1989	2561041
effect of glucocorticoids and limiting nursing on the carbohydrate digestive capacity and growth rate of piglets.	the influence of glucocorticoid administration and limited nursing on piglet carbohydrase enzyme development and subsequent growth was examined in three experiments using 371 piglets. treatments in the first two experiments were formed by the factorial arrangement of hydrocortisone (-hyd or +hyd) and limited nursing (-ln or +ln) imposed form d 14 to weaning (d 28). hydrocortisone was replaced by adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) in the third experiment. growth rates were severely depressed by h ...	1989	2556355
a randomized trial of anticoagulation with warfarin and of alternating chemotherapy in extensive small-cell lung cancer by the cancer and leukemia group b.	the cancer and leukemia group b (calgb) conducted a prospective randomized trial to evaluate the role of warfarin and alternating chemotherapy in extensive small-cell lung cancer (sccl). after stratification for sex and performance status, patients were randomly assigned to receive chemotherapy with methotrexate, doxorubicin (adriamycin; adria laboratories, columbus, oh), cyclophosphamide, and lomustine (ccnu) (macc), or macc plus warfarin (macc + w), or mitomycin, etoposide, cisplatin, and hexa ...	2008	2547030
antimicrobial susceptibility of sixty human fecal isolates of aeromonas species.	the mics of 21 antimicrobial agents were determined for 60 strains of aeromonas spp. isolated from human feces. all isolates tested were susceptible to aztreonam, tetracycline, imipenem, moxalactam, pipemidic acid, gentamicin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, pefloxacin and ciprofloxacin. resistance to erythromycin and streptomycin was observed in all 60 strains. aeromonas caviae was less susceptible to cefamandole, cefotaxime, norfloxacin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, sulfamethoxazole and trime ...	1989	2496995
[intestinal infections caused by aeromonas].	we have identified 38 instances of intestinal infection by aeromonas and 4 by plesiomonas in 16,184 coprocultures carried out during a 4 year period in the hcu of zaragoza. the low prevalence can be related with the fact that specific media for the recovery of these organisms were not used. the species aeromonas sobria (47.36%) and a. caviae (39.47%) were more common than a. hydrophila (13.15%). aeromonas were isolated from patients with and without intestinal disease. the occurrence of gastroin ...	1989	2490673
production and characterization of monoclonal antibodies to aeromonas sobria surface antigens.	a panel of eight murine monoclonal antibodies (mabs) was raised against the surface antigens of aeromonas sobria isolated from a patient with diarrhoea. antibodies to the lps core and o-antigen and to protein antigens were generated. three mabs of the igm isotype against either protein or lps agglutinated 34/75 aeromonas isolates from clinical and environmental sources. similar numbers of a. hydrophila, a. sobria and a. caviae isolates were agglutinated. the mabs were screened for their ability ...	1989	2483346
nucleotide sequence and transcriptional analysis of the aercaera region of aeromonas sobria encoding aerolysin and its regulatory region.	the nucleotide sequence of a 2510 base pair chromosomal fragment containing the aerolysin gene aera, and its regulatory region aerc, from a clinical isolate of aeromonas sobria was determined. the aerolysin gene coded for a 54.5 kd polypeptide and had a g + c content of 59%, indicating that it is endogenous to the genus aeromonas. in contrast, the aerc region was characterized by its high a + t content (61%) and the presence of a core motif, aataaaa, repeated eight times within 300 base pairs. a ...	1988	2459581
cystic neoplasms of the pancreas.	eight patients with cystic neoplasms of the pancreas were seen at four northern california hospitals between the years 1978 and 1986. three of the tumors were benign and five were malignant. three females, whose average age was 61 years, had cystadenomas. three females and two males, whose average age was 48 years, had mucinous cystadenocarcinomas. clinical presentations were similar among all patients. abdominal pain was a prominent feature. anorexia, weight loss, nausea and vomiting with a pal ...	2008	2446398
whole-body autoradiography of [3h]dihydrostreptomycin in guinea pigs and rats: the labelling of the inner ear in relation to other tissues.	[3h]dihydrostreptomycin was given intramuscularly to young pigmented guinea pigs and rats. whole-body autoradiography, combined with densitometric measurement of the blackening of the autoradiograms, and liquid scintillation counting were used to determine the levels of radioactivity in the inner ear in relation to blood and other tissues. it was found that there was an accumulation of radioactivity in the perilymph of both the cochlear and vestibular parts of the labyrinth. the labelling of the ...	1986	2422870
dynamics of aeromonas hydrophila, aeromonas sobria, and aeromonas caviae in a sewage treatment pond.	the spatiotemporal dynamics of aeromonas spp. and fecal coliforms in the sewage treatment ponds of an urban wastewater center were studied after 20 months of sampling from five stations in these ponds. isolation and identification of 247 aeromonas strains were undertaken over four seasons at the inflow and outflow of this pond system. the hemolytic activity of these strains was determined. the aeromonas spp. and the fecal coliform distributions showed seasonal cycles, the amplitude of which incr ...	1990	2389929
in vitro susceptibility of aeromonas caviae, aeromonas hydrophila and aeromonas sobria to fifteen antibacterial agents.	in vitro testing of the activity of 15 antibacterial agents against 522 clinical isolates of aeromonas species demonstrated some species-associated trends. amoxicillin plus clavulanic acid was effective against approximately 45% of aeromonas caviae and aeromonas hydrophila, but all aeromonas sobria isolates were resistant. aztreonam, piperacillin and mezlocillin were highly active against all the strains of aeromonas tested. ticarcillin was equally effective against aeromonas caviae and aeromona ...	1990	2387294
isolation of aeromonas spp. from canal water.	aeromonas sobria was identified from soil and canal water at the east end of london. there was a correlation between water and faecal isolates from children attending the nearby children's hospital. in view of the potential risk of enteric and non-enteric infections due to aeromonas spp, efforts are needed to ensure that canals, rivers, natural water sources and domestic water supply are free of these organisms.	1990	2361702
microbiologic and clinical evidence supporting the role of aeromonas caviae as a pediatric enteric pathogen.	aeromonas caviae was recovered as the sole potential enteric pathogen from the stools of 14 of 17 symptomatic children (10 younger than 1 year of age) while aeromonas hydrophila, aeromonas sobria, and plesiomonas shigelloides were isolated once each. the infants from whom a. caviae was isolated all presented with a watery diarrhea lasting 1 to 3 weeks. none of these infants was breast-fed, and all had a stool ph of greater than 7.5. all of the a. caviae isolates, including a reference strain (at ...	1990	2351730
aeromonas sobria in bubaline (water buffalo) abortion: growth requirement, biochemical characters, antibiotic susceptibility, experimental pathogenicity and serology.	a. sobria was isolated unexpectedly on campylobacter selective medium from abortion specimens of 16 buffaloes. all strains (as1-as16) required campylobacter growth supplement (sodium pyruvate, sodium metabisulphate and ferrous sulphate) and 10% c02 atmosphere on primary isolation. they were unusually sensitive to bile salt and failed to grow on macconkey's agar. biochemically, these strains were homogeneous but antibiogram profile and physiological/other characters revealed a moderate heterogene ...	1990	2351419
