| the preparation of a carbon-11 labelled neurohormone--[11c]melatonin. | melatonin, a hormone of the pineal gland, has been labelled with the positron-emitting radionuclide, carbon-11 (t1/2 = 20.4 min), for study in vivo by positron emission tomography. thus a novel labelling agent, [11c]acetyl chloride, was prepared by the carbonation of methylmagnesium bromide with cyclotron-produced [11c]carbon dioxide followed by treatment with phthaloyl dichloride. acylation of 5-methoxytryptamine then affords [11c]melatonin, which is purified by hplc and formulated for intraven ... | 2010 | 2828278 |
| production of antibodies against murine class ii antigens using unconjugated synthetic peptides of the beta chain region 63-78. | synthetic peptides corresponding to residues 63-78 of the first domain of the beta chain of murine i-a/i-e class ii antigens were used in the unconjugated rather than the traditional protein-conjugated form to immunize (129j x b6)f1 mice. the sequences made represented the four haplotypes; ak beta, ad beta, abm-12 beta and ed beta. these sequences were selected on the basis of computer algorithms used to predict surface accessibility and main-chain flexibility profiles, and by reported hypervari ... | 2010 | 2844910 |
| thiol peroxyl radical formation from the reaction of cysteine thiyl radical with molecular oxygen: an esr investigation. | using electron spin resonance (esr) spectroscopy, we have identified the cysteine thiol peroxyl radical (cyssoo.) at low temperatures in two aqueous glasses. this radical shows a typical peroxyl radical esr spectrum, but unlike carbon-based peroxyl radicals has a violet color (lambda max = 540 nm) and forms a new radical showing a singlet esr spectrum when photobleached with visible light. the cysteine peroxyl radical reacts to form the cysteine sulfinyl radical (cysso.) in the glass which allow ... | 2010 | 2843184 |
| hypouricemia due to familial isolated renal tubular uricosuria. evaluation with the combined pyrazinamide-probenecid test. | a jewish iraqi woman with familial isolated renal tubular uricosuria, urate clearance of 60.5 +/- 5.7 ml/min and hypouricemia of 1.0 +/- 0.2 mg/dl is described. the combined pyrazinamide-probenecid test suggested a presecretory defect in urate reabsorption. four offspring were moderately affected. this family represents the sixth jewish iraqi family with familial isolated presecretory uricosuria, and emphasizes the marked prevalence of this disease among the iraqi jewish population. since the in ... | 2010 | 2811790 |
| [study of the connection of the resistance of the lung to the development of pathologic processes with its fatty acid composition]. | selective localization of unspecific pathological processes was detected in lung lobes of 1244 patients, whereas irregular fatty acid composition of phospholipids was observed in the tissue lobes of 23 patients. the correlation curve, reflecting the fatty acid spectrum dependent development of impairments in lungs, was plotted and risk factors were calculated for various groups of persons with various fatty acid spectra in lungs. | 2010 | 2815677 |
| insulinoma. the value of intraoperative ultrasonography. | after establishing the diagnosis of an insulinoma, most surgeons prefer preoperative localization. selective arteriography has long remained the gold standard for this purpose, but its use has been met with variable success. despite various attempts at localization, insulinomas remain undetected in 10% to 20% of patients, and there may be a postoperative complication rate of at least 10% to 25%. to review the results and surgical implications of current localization techniques, 36 adult patients ... | 2010 | 2838008 |
| [role of the leukotrienes in asthma]. | leukotrienes (lt), which are derived from arachidonic acid and have similar chemical structures to the prostaglandins, have recently been shown to contain most of the biological activity previously attributed to "slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis" (srs-a). ltc4, ltd4 and lte4 have potent bronchoconstrictor actions. lte4 causes very long-lasting bronchoconstriction. ltb4 has inflammatory properties and possesses powerful chemotactic activity on leukocytes, especially neutrophil polymorphonuc ... | 2010 | 2840090 |
| computed tomography of the rectum with water as contrast agent. | the use of intrarectally administered plain tap water as a contrast medium for ct scan of the rectum and sigmoid combined with iv iodine contrast medium was prospectively studied in 28 patients. this method allowed correct demonstration of mural wall abnormalities in all patients and therefore represents a simple, inexpensive, and efficient modality for ct study of the rectum and sigmoid. | 2010 | 2806823 |

| minimal spinal hyperostosis with low-dose isotretinoin therapy. | skeletal abnormalities have been reported on numerous occasions in patients who have received high doses of vitamin a and its derivatives. recently, a new derivative, isotretinoin (accutane, hoffman-laroche, inc.), has become available for the treatment of cystic acne. ninety-six patients treated for a minimum of four months with low doses of this drug at two university centers have shown overall good to excellent clinical responses. however, ten of these patients have developed small pointed ex ... | 2010 | 2935510 |
| comparison of some procedures detecting circulating immune complexes. | tests for circulating immune complexes were performed by means of 1) plain polyethylene glycol (peg) precipitation (pegprec), 2) immunoelectrophoresis of peg precipitates (iepp), 3) anti-antibody (aa) inhibition test with sera (aa-is), and 4) aa inhibition test with peg precipitates (aa-ipp). the tests were performed with 156 pathological sera from patients with myasthenia gravis, syphilis, adenocarcinomas of the gastrointestinal tract, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, and ... | 2010 | 2937722 |
| low-renin hypertension of childhood. | measurement of plasma renin activity (pra) and aldosterone with a knowledge of dietary sodium balance is critical to the diagnostic evaluation of childhood hypertension. disturbances of steroid production, regulation, metabolism and sensitivity have been implicated in the pathogenesis of low-renin hypertension in childhood. prompt initiation of treatment is essential because the hemodynamic changes caused by long-standing hypertension may become irreversible. the clinical features and hormonal f ... | 2010 | 3153266 |
| [review and updating of the diagnostic sensibility of the dexamethasone suppression test and urinary determination of phenylethylamine and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylglycol in the diagnosis of endogenous depression]. | 60 endogenous depressive patients (dsm iii: 296.2x, 3x, 296.5x) were studied according to the following diagnostic techniques: dst (carroll's standardization), phenyl-ethyl-amine (pea) urinary quantification (spatz's technique) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethyl glycol (mhpg) urinary quantification (bigelow's technique). seven groups were thus obtained according to their being positive in, at least, one of those determinations. the above mentioned techniques allow the finest of discriminations s ... | 2010 | 3321917 |
| effects of pulmonary emphysema on qrs infarct size score. | pulmonary emphysema can produce false-positive electrocardiographic (ecg) changes of anterior myocardial infarction (mi). this problem was not addressed in earlier studies of the selvester 54 criteria/32 point qrs score for mi size. the purpose of this study was to examine an automated hewlett packard ecg computer language (hp-ecl) implementation of the qrs score in the following groups of subjects. patients who had been studied for possible lung disease with pulmonary tests, including lung volu ... | 2010 | 3216165 |
