dna methylation pattern during the encystment of physarum flavicomum.	in physarum flavicomum berk., haploid myxamoebae convert to dormant microcysts under conditions of nutrient imbalance. exogenous adenine increases the intracellular content of s-adenosylmethionine (sam) and inhibits this process. however, treatments that reduce the intracellular sam levels relieve the inhibition of encystment induced by adenine. sam plays a major metabolic role in cellular transmethylation reactions. in this study, we compared the dna methylation patterns of growing cells, encys ...	2007	2168719
facilitatory and inhibitory transmitters modulate calcium influx during action potentials in aplysia sensory neurons.	serotonin (5-ht) produces presynaptic facilitation and fmrfamide produces presynaptic inhibition in aplysia sensory neurons. these effects may involve the modulation of ca2+ influx into sensory neuron terminals during action potentials. here, we have used the ca2+ indicator dye fura-2 to monitor directly the effects of 5-ht and fmrfamide on internal ca2+ concentration ([ca2+]i). 5-ht caused a 50% increase in the transient rise in [ca2+]i in response to action potentials, whereas fmrfamide decrea ...	2007	1976321
mechanical cardiac valve thrombosis. is thrombectomy justified?	to determine the incidence and results of the treatment offered to acute thrombotic obstructions of mechanical valvular prostheses, we have reviewed a series of 3,637 consecutive hospital survivors who, between january 1970 and september 1990, underwent single mitral or aortic and double mitroaortic valve replacements (mvr, avr, and dvr, respectively). the cumulative follow-up in these patients was 22,783 years (mean, 7.2 years; range, 0.6-19 years). sixty-five patients (24 mvr, 13 avr, and 28 d ...	2007	1934445

[excision of a splenic cyst using a surgical stapler in partial splenectomy].	the authors extirpated the splenic cyst of a young girl with the use of stapler in such a way that the distal part of the spleen was preserved. during this case the types of splenic preservative operations and the question of fulminant sepsis found in the patients went under splenectomy were surveyed. according to us the advantage of using stapler in partial splenectomy than the others is that firstly it is technically simple, less time consuming, and the haemostasis is safe. this is thought to ...	2007	2377359
