| serum electrolytes and parathyroid hormone in patients in a coronary care unit. | a prospective study was carried out in 499 patients admitted to a coronary care unit (ccu) in order to evaluate the incidence of clinically significant electrolyte disturbances. low serum potassium values (less than 3.6 mmol l) occurred in 7% of the ccu patients and low serum magnesium values (less than 0.70 mmol l-1) in 6%. few patients had low values of both these ions (1.9%). in 49 patients the contents of these electrolytes in muscle biopsies were similar to the values of control subjects an ... | 2006 | 2563748 |
| structural and functional aspects of the receptors for platelet-derived growth factor. | platelet-derived growth factor (pdgf) is a 30 kda dimer of disulfide-bonded a and b chains. three isoforms of pdgf have been isolated (pdgf-aa, pdgf-ab and pdgf-bb). these bind with different affinities and specificities to two structurally related cell surface receptors, viz. the alpha-receptor and the beta-receptor. the receptors are transmembrane proteins with an intracellular, ligand-stimulatable protein tyrosine kinase domain. activation of the receptors is intimately associated with recept ... | 2008 | 2562360 |
| induction of dependence on hematopoietic proteins for viability and receptor upregulation in differentiating myeloid leukemic cells. | there are different types of myeloid leukemic cells that can be induced to differentiate to mature granulocytes or macrophages by different hematopoietic regulatory proteins. one type of leukemic clone can be induced to differentiate by recombinant macrophage and granulocyte differentiation-inducing protein-type 2 (mgi-2), which we have shown is interleukin-6 (il-6), and another type of leukemic clone can be differentiated by recombinant granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (gm-csf) ... | 2008 | 2546628 |
| population of salmonella typhimurium in the cecum of gnotobiotic chickens. | to test the interaction of various species of bacteria with salmonella typhimurium, levels of s. typhimurium were measured in the cecum of gnotobiotic chickens inoculated with various test bacteria and subsequently with s. typhimurium. the population of s. typhimurium was suppressed in the cecum of chickens previously inoculated with escherichia coli. populations of bacteroides vulgatus, clostridium perfringens, bifidobacterium thermophilum, or lactobacillus acidophilus were transiently, though ... | 1989 | 2539590 |
| [percutaneous drainage of fistula-associated abscesses and biliary fistulas]. | 33 abdominal abscesses associated with fistulae in 31 patients were treated by percutaneous drainage. 19 of these patients had had surgery immediately preceding the drainage. in 64% the percutaneous drainage led to a diagnosis of an internal fistula. additional therapeutic measures, because of the fistula, were necessary in 45% (operation, biliary drainage, repositioning of catheter). the average duration of drainage was 29 days. 77% of those abscesses which could be drained were treated success ... | 2008 | 2538887 |
| evidence that sindbis virus nsp2 is an autoprotease which processes the virus nonstructural polyprotein. | the four nonstructural proteins (nsp1-4) of sindbis virus, a member of the togaviridae family, are initially expressed from the 5' segment of the single-stranded genomic (+)rna as a polyprotein which is subsequently proteolytically processed. in attempts to identify the protease acting on this nonstructural polyprotein, we established a coupled in polyprotein, we established a coupled in vitro transcription-translation system which was able to faithfully process the major polyprotein when an mrn ... | 1989 | 2525839 |
| infective endocarditis in children. a seven-year experience. | eighteen children with infective endocarditis were detected over seven years. fever, gastrointestinal and chest symptoms were striking features. anaemia, elevated leukocyte count and sedimentation rate were constant laboratory findings. strep. viridans and staph. aureus were the commonest organisms isolated. we concluded that rheumatic and congenital heart disease are equally important in predisposition to infective endocarditis. | 2008 | 2519331 |
| selection of constitutively resistant mutants of inducible clindamycin-resistant bacteroides vulgatus. | the rate of spontaneous mutation to constitutive clindamycin resistance and the kinetics of selection of such mutants in preinduced and non-preinduced cells was evaluated in the bacteroides vulgatus strain ryc18f6 (original mic less than or equal to 0.25 micrograms/ml), which shows inducible resistance to clindamycin and erythromycin. mutants demonstrating a high level of constitutive resistance to clindamycin (64 micrograms/ml) occurred at a frequency of 10(-7). culture in broth containing eith ... | 1989 | 2506038 |
| polymicrobial septicemia with clostridium difficile in acute diverticulitis. | a case is reported of a patient without previous gastrointestinal symptoms, who presented with polymicrobial septicemia caused by escherichia coli, enterococcus faecalis, clostridium difficile and bacteroides vulgatus. septicemia occurred during acute diverticulitis. a strain of clostridium difficile, which was of the same serogroup c as the blood culture isolate and also produced toxin, was recovered from the stools, but the pathogenic role of this organism in the gastrointestinal symptomatolog ... | 1989 | 2497002 |
| in vitro susceptibility of feline herpesvirus-1 to vidarabine, idoxuridine, trifluridine, acyclovir, or bromovinyldeoxyuridine. | in vitro activities of 9-[( 2-hydroxyethoxy] methyl) guanine (acyclovir), (e)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-2'deoxyuridine, 9-beta-d-arabinofuranosyladenine (vidarabine), 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine (idoxuridine), and 5-trifluoromethyl-2'-deoxyuridine (trifluridine) were studied against 6 strains of feline herpesvirus-1. a significant difference was not detected among viral strains in their susceptibility to these compounds (p = 0.442). the relative potency of these compounds was trifluridine much greater than id ... | 1989 | 2493210 |
| effects of serum testosterone level with buserelin on the activities of drug and testosterone hydroxylase and on the content of a male-specific form of cytochrome p-450 in male rats. | the effects of administration of buserelin, a synthetic agonist of lutenizing hormone-releasing hormone (lh-rh), on the content of p-450-male, a male specific form of cytochrome p-450, and the activities of drug and testosterone hydroxylases were examined in liver microsomes of male rats. administration of buserelin resulted in a decrease in the serum level of testosterone in a dose-dependent manner. similar decreases were seen in the activities of aminopyrine n-demethylase, 7-propoxycoumarin o- ... | 1989 | 2492807 |
| [anaerobic bacteria in intracranial suppuration]. | in four cases of intracranial suppurative disease, studied in the laboratory of anaerobic bacteria of institute pasteur of algiers, three cases are caused by anaerobic bacteria and one remain sterile. two of them are empyema with unknown origin and the others are brain abscess with bilateral chronic ear infection to one. in the three cases, gram negative anaerobic bacilli were grown in culture: bacteroides asaccharolyticus, bacteroides vulgatus and bacteroides ruminicola brevis. in two cases, th ... | 1989 | 2489404 |

| risk factors for kaposi's sarcoma in the vancouver lymphadenopathy-aids study. | in our ongoing cohort study of homosexual men, the ratio of new kaposi's sarcoma (ks) cases to new opportunistic infections (oi) during the periods 1982-1985, 1986-1987, and 1988-1989 fell from 0.75 (9 ks: 12 oi) to 0.57 (12 ks:21 oi) to 0.27 (4 ks:15 oi), respectively. to examine factors associated with the development of ks as compared to oi, we compared antecedent risk factors in 25 ks cases and 48 oi "controls." in univariate analyses, several classical hiv risk factors including numbers of ... | 1990 | 2395081 |
| dietary modification of potential vitamin k supply from enteric bacterial menaquinones in rats. | rats given a low-fibre diet based on boiled white rice developed symptoms of severe vitamin k deficiency within 23 d. inclusion of autoclaved black-eye beans (vigna unguiculata) in the diet prevented the bleeding syndrome. to test the hypothesis that deficiency resulted from low phylloquinone intake exacerbated by inadequate production of menaquinones by the enteric bacteria, a follow-up experiment was carried out in which groups of rats were given an all-rice diet, a rice + beans diet or a stoc ... | 1990 | 2383538 |
| experimental studies on some effects of prostaglandin e2 in acute renal failure. | acute renal failure has been produced in rats with oral administration of uranyl nitrate 40 mg/kg of body weight once, and histopathological changes in the kidneys with blood biochemical values were studied by sacrificing them after 36 hours of feeding. prostaglandin e2 in 100 micrograms/kg of body weight was orally administered to another group of rats along with uranyl nitrate 40 mg/kg of body weight once and sacrificed them 36 hours after feeding. it was found that prostaglandin e2 has some p ... | 1990 | 2362130 |
| neurocristopathy syndrome: review of four cases. | aberrant embryologic development of the neural crest may clinically result in one of several patterns of malformation. four examples of the neurocristopathy syndrome are described that collectively feature a very broad range of expression in these infants. because of the many expressions, the syndrome may not be recognized. we believe that greater familiarity with the disorder will aid in the discovery of unsuspected anomalies and provide clues about predisposing etiologies. | 2008 | 2359735 |
| [experimental study of liver allograft damage during cold ischemia]. | changes on the majority of structural complexes were observed in livers that underwent the influence of the preservant and cold ischemia. cellular architecture of a such liver is disturbed. hepatocites are with granular and vacuolar degeneration: focal cariolyzes and piasmolyzes are present, partial destruction of cellular membrane is noticeable. the dilatation of sinusoidal spaces is very emphasized and followed by the severe loss of endothelium. these changes along with the disturbed cellular ... | 1990 | 2327207 |
