errors in interpretation of data from equilibrium dialysis protein binding experiments.in equilibrium dialysis protein binding experiments, the fraction of free or bound drug determined at equilibrium by dialysis of a patient plasma sample does not correspond to the drug concentration in the initial plasma sample, but to the drug concentration inside the plasma compartment of the dialysis apparatus at equilibrium. that fraction of free or bound drug corresponds to a lower total drug concentration than that in the initial plasma sample because of loss of drug due to passage of free ...1976515500
renaturation of bacteriophage lambda dna. determination of the optimal renaturation conditions using a single-strand-specific dnase and alkaline-sucrose-gradient assay system.reannealed hybrid molecules of wild-type bacteriophage lambda dna were prepared in aqueous solutions of formamide at a variety of nacl concentrations at both room temperature ( 22 degrees c) and 37 degrees c. treatment of the hybrid dna molecules with the single-strand-specific nuclease s1 from aspergillus oryzae followed by alkaline sucrose gradient sedimentation was used to monitor the extent and fidelity of hybridization. the optimal renaturation conditions at room temperature were found to b ...19761248479
quantitative correlations between chemical structure and affinity for acetylcholine receptors.the affinity constants (log k, pa2) of 128 quaternary ammonium compounds belonging to several different series have been correlated linearly with the hydrophobicity (pir) constant, the dipole moment (mur), and the number of hydroxyl groups (noh) of the side chain; the dependence on the hydrophobicity constant of the quaternary ammonium head (pi-n identical to) is shown to be parabolic. a correlation coefficient of 0.96 is obtained for all the compounds using only 4 independent variables (6 terms ...19761248503
characterization of an ampicillin-resistant haemophilus influenzae type b.a 28-year-old female in denver was found in early 1974 to have frontal sinusitis, osteomyelitis, and bacteremia due to haemophilus influenzae, type b. the minimal inhibitory concentration of ampicillin for this organism was 100 mug/ml and the minimal bactericidal concentration was >100 mug/ml. it was inhibited by chloramphenicol at 0.4 mug/ml. further studies demonstrated that ampicillin and methicillin were synergistic against this organism. it was shown to produce a diffusible beta-lactamase. ...19761084727
haemophilus from the lower respiratory tract of patients with cystic fibrosis.fifty-six non-haemolytic haemophilus strains were isolated during current bacteriological examinations from material from the lower respiratory tract of 39 patients with cystic fibrosis during a 6-month period. except for six strains which belonged to haemophilus parainfluenzae, all strains were identified as haemophilus influenzae. biotype i of h. influenzae was the predominating taxon (38%) and was especially related to patients with recurrent or prolonged colonization. only two strains were c ...19761086508
the process of cholesterol cholelithiasis induced by diet in the prairie dog: a physicochemical characterization.the rapid induction of cholesterol cholelithiasis in a new experimental model, the prairie dog, has recently been reported by two groups. in this model they were able to induce gallstones in as brief a period as 2 weeks, using a 1.2 per cent cholesterol diet. this unprecedented time intensity or telescoping of the induction process provided a unique opportunity for observation of physicochemical changes occurring rapidly over a short period of time and to correlate these with degree of biliary c ...1976180214
gluconeogenesis in isolated rat hepatic parenchymal cells. ix. differential effects of glucagon and epinephrine on phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase.the isolated hepatocyte preparation (from 24-hour fasted rats) comprised a homogeneous population of intact cells as shown by electron microscopy. homogenates of hepatocytes were incubated for 10 minutes in an ionic buffer solution containing 1.5% gelatin with and without hormones and centrifuged at 27,500 x g for 30 minutes, and the supernatant fractions were assayed for enzyme activities. hexokinase activity was absent, although it was easily detectable in the same fraction of intact liver. th ...1976135135

proposed structure of two defective viral dna oligomers produced in 3t3 cells transformed by the ts-a mutant of polyoma virus.the various oligomeric viral dna species produced at 32 c by two related syblines of ts-a-transformed mouse 3t3 cells were characterized. results from the analysis of the cleavage products observed after digestion with restriction endonucleases from haemophilus parainfluenzae, escherichia coli ri, and haemophilus suis are consistent with the assumption that in both sublines, the major oligomeric component is a dimer from which a segment of different length is deleted. the major oligomeric (27s) ...1976176437
chemical modification of simian virus 40 dna by reaction with a water-soluble carbodiimide.superhelical simian virus 40 (sv40) dna i can be modified with n-cyclohexyl-n'-beta-(4 methylmorpholinium)ethylcarbodiimide (cmc). the reaction produces an increase in the sedimentation velocity of dna i from 21 to 22.5s and a decrease in its buoyant density in cscl from 1.694 to 1.688. a comparable shift in buoyant density is observed in a saturated ethidium bromide-cesium chloride gradient where form ii, which has been exposed to cmc, shows no shift. the cscl-buoyant density data allows us to ...1976176461
immunologic identification of epstein-barr virus early antigen in a p3hr-1 cell extract.we extracted the epstein-barr soluble antigen (ebsa) from the p3hr-1 human lymphoid cell line, which carries the epstein-barr virus (ebv), after p3hr-1 cells were activated with 5-iodo-2'-deoxyuridine. ebsa was identified as the early antigen (ea) complex by immunodiffusion and blocking immunofluorescence tests with high-titered human antiserum to ea. the identity of the ea complex was confirmed with antiserum to ea prepared in rabbits and adsorbed to assure its immunologic specificity. the ea w ...1976187767
interactions between viruses and bacteria in patients with chronic bronchitis.the possibility that viral infections of the respiratory tract might predispose to bacterial colonization or infection was studied in 120 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 30 control subjects; these individuals were observed for seven years. the ratio of the number of observed to the number of expected associations between viruses and bacteria was 2.43 (p = 0.037) for the pair influenza virus and streptococcus pneumoniae and was 2.06 (p = 0.056) for influenza virus and haem ...197612235
haemophilus influenzae and haemophilus parainfluenzae in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.the importance of nonencapsulated strains of haemophilus influenzae and h. parainfluenzae in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (c.o.p.d.) has been investigated in 150 patients observed at two-month intervals from 1968 to 1975. h. influenzae was distinguished from h. parainfluenzae by demonstrating requirements for both x and v factors. h. influenzae was isolated more often from sputum cultures from patients with severe c.o.p.d. (13.8%) than from patients with mild disease ...197673690
effect of h+ on spontaneous neuronal activity in the surface layer of the rat medulla oblongata in vitro.the effect of changing extracellular ph (phe) on the spontaneous activity of neurons in brain slices taken from the ventral layer of the rat medulla oblongata was compared to the response of neurons in dorsal slices. in the ventral medulla, more than 50% of the neurons were excited by h+. these neurons were found just lateral to the pyramidal tract between the root of the hypoglossal nerve and the trapezoid body. in the dorsal medulla, low phe caused an inhibition of activity in most neurons, al ...197722840
structure of a promoter for t7 rna polymerase.we have determined the nucleotide sequence of a hpa ii restriction fragment of the phage t7 dna containing a promoter for the phage-specified rna polymerase. (hpa ii is a restriction endonuclease from haemophilus parainfluenzae.) mapping of the hpa ii restriction fragments on the t7 genome shows this promoter to be the second of tandem promoters separated by approximately 170 base pairs that begin transcription by the t7 rna polymerase at approximately 15% of the genome. features of the sequence ...1977270669
human papillomavirus dna: physical mapping of the cleavage sites of bacillus amyloliquefaciens (bami) and haemophilus parainfluenzae (hpaii) endonucleases and evidence for partial heterogeneity.the dna of human papillomavirus (hpv) obtained from a pool of plantar warts is cleaved by bacillus amyloliquefaciens (bami) and haemophilus parainfluenzae (hpaii) restriction endonucleases at one and four specific sites, respectively. these sites were localized on the previously established cleavage map of hpv dna, using the hind, hindiii, hpai, and ecori endonuclease restriction sites as reference. the four hpaii sites were mapped, clockwise, at 1.4, 41.1, 44.3, and 52.8% of the genome length f ...1977191644
regulation of staphylococcal enterotoxin b.the effect of glucose and the glucose analogues 2-deoxyglucose and alpha-methyl-glucoside on the synthesis and regulation of staphylococcal enterotoxin b was examined. the attenuating effect of glucose on staphylococcal enterotoxin b synthesis was observed. however, when this effect was examined with analogues of glucose, contradictory responses were seen. alpha-methylglucoside had a slight stimulatory effect on enterotoxin production and other extracellular proteins, whereas 2-deoxyglucose mark ...1977193794

haemophilus parainfluenzae infection of the central nervous system. a report on two infants.two cases of infection of the central nervous system (cns) with haemophilus parainfluenzae--a 12-month-old girl with meningitis and a 17-month-old girl with brain abscess--are reported. both infants had long-standing upper respiratory infection before cns disease. both recovered after treatment.1977198875
transfer of a plasmid-specified beta-lactamase gene from haemophilus influenzae.a number of ampicillin-resistant strains of haemophilus influenzae could donate a gene specifying the type iiia (tem) beta-lactamase to haemophilus parainfluenzae, escherichia coli, and pseudomonas aeruginosa. donor strains rapidly lost their ability to transfer ampicillin resistance on storage or subculture. such strains also apparently contained a single species of covalently closed circular deoxyribonucleic acid of contour length 1.2 mum, equivalent to about 2.5 x 10(6) daltons. no species of ...1977403856
haemophilus parainfluenzae and influenzae endocarditis: a review of forty cases.two cases of bacterial endocarditis caused by haemophilus parainfluenzae are reported with a review of 33 other cases of h. parainfluenzae endocarditis and 5 cases of h. influenzae endocarditis. although h. parainfluenzae is usually considered a non-pathogenic microorganism, this review firmly establishes its role as a causative agent in endocarditis. furthermore, several clinical features were noted which were atypical when compared to findings usually present in patients with bacterial endocar ...1977321916
major proteins of the escherichia coli outer cell envelope membrane as bacteriophage receptors.three escherichia coli phages, tuia, tuib, and tuii, were isolated from local sewage. we present evidence that they use the major outer membrane proteins ia, ib, and ii, respectively, as receptors. in all cases the proteins, under the experimental conditions used, required lipopolysaccharide to exhibit their receptor activity. for proteins ia and ii, an approximately two- to eightfold molar excess of lipopolysaccharide (based on one diglucosamine unit) was necessary to reach maximal receptor act ...1977330500
antimicrobial susceptibility of haemophilus parainfluenzae.fifty random clinical isolates of haemophilus parainfluenzae were tested for their susceptibility to 10 antibiotics by a microtiter broth dilution method. three of the strains tested were resistant to ampicillin, whereas eight were resistant to tetracycline. all strains tested were susceptible to chloramphenicol, kanamycin, gentamicin, cephalothin, and colistin. the ranges of minimal inhibitory concentrations for the three remaining antibiotics were: 0.5 to >/=128 mug of penicillin g per ml, 0.0 ...1977587028

biotypes of haemophilus encountered in clinical laboratories.the biochemical characteristics of 464 strains of haemophilus influenzae and 83 strains of haemophilus parainfluenzae isolated over an 18-month period are described. of 22 characteristics obtained, only 6 were necessary to biochemically identify and biotype the isolates. the key substrates or tests were urease, ornithine, indole, o-nitrophenyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside, sucrose, and xylose. five biotypes of h. influenzae and four of h. parainfluenzae were commonly recognized. some strains were en ...1979315964
radiometric detection of haemophilus in simulated blood cultures.the radiometric detection of various haemophilus species was studied in simulated blood cultures and in blood culture media without added blood, but supplemented with nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide (nad) or hemin, or both. haemophilus aphrophilus was the only species studied that was radiometrically detectable without added blood or nad. all other species studied (haemophilus influenzae, haemophilus parainfluenzae, haemophilus haemolyticus, and haemophilus parahaemolyticus) required either ad ...1979218444
a simple biological method for detecting streptococcal nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycohydrolase.a biological method for detecting streptococcal nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycohydrolase (nadg) is presented, based on its ability to inhibit the growth of haemophilus parainfluenzae. three hundred clinical isolates of beta-haemolytic streptococci were tested. all isolates producing nadg belonged to lancefield's group a, c, or g.1979224080
protein and ribonucleic acid syntheses in heat-damaged and heat-killed escherichia coli.protein and ribonucleic acid (rna) syntheses were measured in both lethally injured and thermally damaged viable cells after heating at lethal temperatures. immediately after heating, cells were incubated in growth media containing either [14c]leucine or [3h]uracil. the labeled cells were subsequently treated with penicillin. viable cells were shown to lyse, and the intact nonviable cells were collected by centrifugation. the results showed that after heating, protein and rna synthesis were rein ...1979374390

anaphylaxis in guinea-pig peripheral airways in vitro.the contributions made by histamine, prostaglandins (pg) and slow reacting substance (srs-a) to anaphylactic contractions in isolated guinea-pig lung were investigated. histamine, pgf2alpha and srs-a induced isometric contractions in lung parenchymal strips and in tracheal smooth muscle. the effective concentrations of the autacoids were the same in lung strips and tracheas. anaphylactic contractions in lung strips from bovine serum albumin sensitised animals were not affected by mepyramine (5 x ...1979421743
haemophilus parainfluenzae mitral valve vegetation without hemodynamic abnormality. demonstration by angiography and serial echocardiography.the occurrence of haemophilus parainfluenzae endocarditis on a previously normal mitral valve of a drug addict is described. a large mitral valve vegetation was demonstrated by serial echocardiography and cineangiography. the vegetation did not produce hemodynamic abnormalities preventing detection by physical examination. multiple septic emboli to various organs, including brain, resulted in death. the role of serial echocardiography and the levophase of right heart cineangiography in detecting ...1979433959
prosthetic valve endocarditis due to haemophilus parainfluenzae biotype ii.haemophilus parainfluenzae endocarditis is characterized by great variation in the acuteness of presentation, difficulty in isolation of the pathogen, a 50% to 60% incidence of major arterial emboli, and variability of response to therapy. prosthetic valve endocarditis (pve) due to h parainfluenzae biotype ii occurred in a 14-year-old girl with congenital heart disease and a starr-edwards mitral valve prosthesis. management was complicated by a prolonged culture-negative period (eight days), int ...1979443217
adult bacteremic haemophilus parainfluenzae infections. seven reports of cases and a review of the literature.seven cases of adult haemophilus parainfluenzae infections diagnosed by positive blood cultures are compared with cases previously reported in the english literature. three patients had pneumonia, while the others had epiglottitis with meningitis, pharyngitis, arthritis, and endocarditis, respectively. nonendocarditic manifestations of adult h parainfluenzae infection were reported in four other cases. in addition to the diseases of our patients, h parainfluenzae also has been isolated from cere ...1979475536
