| advances in understanding cell interactions in tissue resorption. relevance to the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases and a new hypothesis. | much of the connective tissue degradation that takes place in periodontal diseases is mediated by proteolytic enzymes. previous studies have focused on the action of proteinases released by invading polymorphonuclear neutrophils and macrophages, and bacterial enzymes. in view of recent work establishing that resident connective tissue cells can be induced by cytokines to bring about the destruction of their own matrix, we propose a new hypothesis. in this we envisage that a critical step is the ... | 2010 | 3091790 |
| effect(s) of lipopolysaccharide on lectin-induced t-cell activation. | the present study focuses on the effect of lipopolysaccharide (lps) on the cellular events leading to t-cell activation by concanavalin a (con a). interleukin 2 (il-2) production is much reduced in con a-stimulated cultures of spleen cells derived from lps-treated mice. this depressed il-2 synthesis is not related to the eventual activity of lps-activated suppressive b cells. rather, it reflects an ineffective collaboration between adherent cells and t lymphocytes. the low level of il-2 produced ... | 1986 | 3091272 |

| a transcription factor from simian virus 40 chromosomes which activates the viral late promoter in vitro. | we have characterized a transcription factor, obtained from simian virus 40 (sv40) chromosomes, which activates transcription from the sv40 late promoter in vitro. the late promoter-activating factor was distinct from sv40 t antigen as judged by its behavior on chromatography on hydroxylapatite; it was not recognized by anti-t antibodies, while t antigen itself was recognized. t antigen from sv40 chromosomes, on the other hand, abolished transcription in vitro from the early promoter. in dnase i ... | 1988 | 2845142 |
| immune response of chickens inoculated with a recombinant avian leukosis virus. | specific-pathogen-free embryos (18-day incubation) and hatched chicks were inoculated with a recombinant avian leukosis virus (alv) produced by recombinant dna techniques. enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to measure the production of viral-protein-specific antibody and the viral protein, p27, in the serum at 2, 5, 8, 14, and 20 weeks of age. of the inoculated chickens surviving to 20 weeks, 64% produced viral-protein-specific antibodies and 42% transiently produced the viral protein, ... | 1988 | 2838018 |
| high-performance liquid chromatographic separation and immunological characterization of soluble bovine viral diarrhea virus antigen. | sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and western blot analysis of the protein extracts from bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv, singer strain) infected primary calf testicle cells (soluble antigen) showed the presence of four virus specific polypeptides of 105, 90, 84 and 67 kilodaltons (kd) the 84-kd being the most abundant. anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (hplc) of soluble antigen separated the virus specific polypeptides in individual peaks while the ... | 1988 | 2832429 |
| low-grade adenocarcinoma of the oral cavity. a comparison between the terminal duct and the papillary type. | fifteen cases of a recently-described type of adenocarcinoma of salivary gland tissue are reviewed. lesions are variously designated polymorphous low-grade adenocarcinoma, low-grade papillary adenocarcinoma, terminal duct carcinoma and lobular carcinoma. tumours were divided into those with papillary structures (8 cases) and those without (7 cases), respectively low-grade papillary adenocarcinoma (lgpa) and terminal duct adenocarcinoma (tda). mean age of tda-cases was 59.1 years; of the lgpa-cas ... | 2010 | 2828432 |
| identification of an additional sendai virus non-structural protein encoded by the p/c mrna. | peptide antiserum and monoclonal antibodies have detected a previously unrecognized small non-structural protein in sendai virus-infected cells. this protein, designated x, appears to represent the c-terminal 95 amino acids of the p protein reading frame. the x protein appears to be almost as abundant as the p protein on a molar basis in vivo. no evidence of a precursor-product relationship between the x and p proteins could be found. | 1987 | 2821189 |
| [intraoperative monitoring of cerebral function and carotid hemodynamics during carotid endarterectomy]. | the authors investigated the hemodynamics and monitored the cerebral function to perform the carotid endarterectomy (cea) safely. the hemodynamics were investigated by measurements of carotid arterial blood flow by an electromagnetic flow meter before and after cea. and a doppler flow meter applied directly to the carotid arteries to analyze the flow parameters such as peak frequencies (pf), mean frequencies (mf), mode frequencies (mo f) and % window. we used routinely our specially designed shu ... | 2009 | 2812257 |
| chemical differences in lipopolysaccharides from actinobacillus (haemophilus) actinomycetemcomitans and haemophilus aphrophilus: clues to differences in periodontopathogenic potential and taxonomic distinction. | while actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans has been associated with rapidly progressive periodontal destruction in man, the closely related haemophilus aphrophilus has not been related to periodontal disease. this may be due to differences in composition and structure of the lipopolysaccharides (lps) of these dental-plaque bacteria, since lps probably exerts a series of detrimental effects on the periodontium. lps was prepared by the phenol-water procedure from the type strains of a. actinomycet ... | 1989 | 2777374 |
| [construction and testing of a strain gauge for measuring masticatory force]. | the main objective of this study was to establish and test a measuring system for monitoring occlusal forces and force cycles during mastication. a measuring module using strain gauge transducers was incorporated in the bridge-pontic of a three part test bridgework. a load cell was used intraorally for loading and calibration. the test bridges were incorporated in the patient's mouth and calibrated in vivo using variable loads. the recording system was a special intensifying and processing syste ... | 2009 | 2772595 |
| metastatic sweat gland carcinoma: response to 5-fluorouracil infusion. | a 78-year-old white male presented with metastatic sweat gland carcinoma involving regional lymph nodes, pleura, pericardium, and chest wall. a complete response of three months duration was achieved by using a 96-hour infusion of 5-fluorouracil. this is the first report of a complete response to systemic chemotherapy in metastatic sweat gland carcinoma. | 2009 | 2770311 |
| psychological and environmental determinants of relapse in crack cocaine smokers. | the paper reviews approaches to relapse in the treatment of cocaine abusers. approaches reveal a common mechanism underlying relapse that involves drug craving, recall of euphoria, environmental cues, denial, myths of being able to sell or use drugs, and painful affect states necessitating use of a multifaceted clinical technique. empirical validation of a common mechanism underlying relapse establishes a typology of psychological and environmental determinants of relapse for crack cocaine smoke ... | 2008 | 2746717 |
| influence of food on relative bioavailability of fluoride in man from na2fpo3-containing tablets for the treatment of osteoporosis. | aqueous solutions of naf and sodium monofluorophosphate (na2fpo3, mfp) and tablets containing mfp (caflu, tridin) were given as single oral doses to fasting healthy volunteers in an intra-individual crossover study. serum fluoride (f) levels and urinary f concentrations were measured using an f-ion-sensitive electrode; 8 h profiles of f concentrations in serum and 24 h urinary f output were determined. f availability and pharmacokinetic data were identical for all items. in a second group of exp ... | 1989 | 2737790 |
| a smile for the möbius' syndrome patient. | a major problem for the patient with möbius' syndrome is the inability to smile. with the development of vascularized muscle transplantation, the possibilities for improved facial animation were explored. muscle transplantation was carried out in 7 patients; innervation was provided by the hypoglossal nerve, the motor nerve to the masseter muscle, or in 1 patient a transfacial nerve graft. in this article the technical aspects of the procedure as well as the results are described in detail. | 2009 | 2735718 |
| [advanced age and clinical staging in the prognostic evaluation of differentiated carcinoma of the thyroid gland]. | the prognostic significance of age in differentiated thyroid tumours is assessed via the analysis of 156 cases of differentiated thyroid carcinoma surgically treated in 1967-85. a statistical analysis was performed on a sample of 120 patients under observation since their operation. the results indicate that the negative influence of old age is due more to the higher incidence of advanced tumours among the elderly than to more aggressive behaviour by the tumour. | 2009 | 2733846 |
