marking width, calibration from tip and tine diameter of periodontal probes.	the present study comprises an investigation of 7 different probe types, representing currently-marketed major designs (who-cpitn, williams, michigan), as well as available calibration systems (engraved, etched and painted markings). width of markings, accuracy of calibration from probe tip, and tine diameter at the tip and at specified points along the tine were assessed, using a stereomicroscope at a magnification of x 40. blind duplicate measurements of these probe tine characteristics were 1 ...	2006	1894745
epididymitis in children and adolescents on clean intermittent catheterisation.	the records of 119 children and adolescents on clean intermittent catheterisation (cic) were reviewed to assess the incidence and predisposing factors, if any, of epididymo-orchitis. cic had been performed for a total of 448 patient years with a mean of 4.5 years (range 3 months to 19 years). of the evaluable 99 patients, 10 suffered attacks of epididymo-orchitis after commencing cic. there was an equal incidence on both sides. three patients had recurrent attacks. epididymitis occurred at the r ...	2006	1425846
present status of research abroad concerning the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on immunologic functions.	japan is one of the countries that have done extensive research on the effect of acupuncture and moxibustion on the immunologic functions. with china first, japan ranks second among the countries in this study. concerning research in this field concerned the level abroad can scarcely reach that in china. scholars abroad fail to base their research on tcm theory. in addition not only the type of diseases studied, and the indexes observed are far less than those in china, but also the scope of the ...	2006	1453763
inhibition of trypsin by t-butyloxycarbonyl-alpha-aza-(4-aminophenyl)alanine phenyl ester.	t-butyloxycarbonyl-alpha-aza-(4-aminophenyl)alanine phenyl ester (iii: r = nh2) has been synthesized. the rate of inhibition of trypsin (ec 3.4.21.4) by this compound (due to acylation followed by slower deacylation) shows a marked ph maximum at approximately 6. the shape of the ph-rate curve is discussed in terms of (i) the normal ph-activity curve of trypsin reacting with a charged substrate, i.e. the protonated form of the amino compound, (ii) the deprotonation of the 4-amino group with pka 4 ...	2006	1367228
scut: clinical data organization for physicians using pen computers.	the role of computers in assisting physicians with patient care is rapidly advancing. one of the significant obstacles to efficient use of computers in patient care has been the unavailability of reasonably configured portable computers. lightweight portable computers are becoming more attractive as physician data-management devices, but still pose a significant problem with bedside use. the advent of computers designed to accept input from a pen and having no keyboard present a usable computer ...	2006	1483012
antithrombin budapest 3. an antithrombin variant with reduced heparin affinity resulting from the substitution l99f.	the molecular basis and functional properties of a variant antithrombin (at) protein. at budapest 3, were studied. a single base substitution was identified in codon 99, ctc----ttc, altering the normal leucine to phenylalanine. the proband presented with a history of venous thrombotic disease and was found to be homozygous for the mutation. the variant protein demonstrated reduced heparin affinity and reduced antiproteinase activity in the presence of either unfractionated heparin or the at-bind ...	2006	1555650
sister chromatid exchange (sce) frequency in lymphocytes of patients with colorectal carcinoma treated with razoxane.	the increased risk of neoplasia following cytotoxic therapy for both malignant and nonmalignant disease is well known. sister chromatid exchange (sce) frequencies in patients receiving such chemotherapy are often elevated, and the persistence of high levels after treatment may provide an indicator for susceptibility to secondary neoplasia. the cytostatic drug razoxane has been used for the treatment of psoriasis, acute myeloid leukemia (aml), and colorectal carcinoma. prolonged use of this drug, ...	2006	1458513

the correlation of middle ear aeration with mastoid pneumatization. the mastoid as a pressure buffer.	atelectatic ears, which by definition are poorly aerated, are also usually associated with poor mastoid pneumatization. on the other hand, otosclerotic patients, whose middle ears are usually exceptionally well aerated, also have excellent mastoid pneumatization. three unusual cases are presented, in which partial atelectasis developed in stapedectomized patients. in each case the mastoid was later found to be nonpneumatized, and further analysis revealed that their stapes fixation had in effect ...	2006	1418937
acute improvement of cardiac function with intravenous l-propionylcarnitine in humans.	as the myocardial carnitine content, a key control factor in myocardial oxidative metabolism and energy transfer, is reduced in heart failure, administration of l-propionylcarnitine (lpc), a potent analogue of l-carnitine, potentially may improve cardiac function, possibly through a positive inotropic effect. as its hemodynamic profile is unknown in humans, 32 fasting normotensive patients with coronary artery disease received either 15 mg/kg of lpc (n = 16) or vehicle (mannitol/acetate, n = 16) ...	2006	1383625
higher formant normalization results from auditory integration of f2 and f3.	two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that higher formant normalization results from the auditory integration of f2 and f3 when they are within 3 bark of each other. in the first experiment, formants 3-5 were manipulated in both a "hid"-"head" continuum (in which f2 and f3 are within 3 bark of each other) and a "hood"-"hud" continuum (in which f2 and f3 are not within 3 bark of each other). it was found that there was a shift in identification consistent with the higher formant n ...	2006	2762105

haloperidol does not alter expression of ethanol-induced conditioned place preference.	a recent experiment (risinger et al., psychopharmacology, 107 (1992) 453-456) has shown that haloperidol does not prevent acquisition of ethanol-induced conditioned place preference, suggesting that dopaminergic mechanisms do not mediate the primary rewarding properties of ethanol. the present experiment examined whether haloperidol would prevent the expression of conditioned reward to ethanol-paired stimuli using the place conditioning paradigm. dba/2j mice received four pairings of a tactile s ...	2006	1449638
characterization of a cdna encoding for the 28.5-kda lhcii apoprotein from the unicellular marine chlorophyte, dunaliella tertiolecta.	three distinct clones, encoding light-harvesting chlorophyll (lhcii) proteins associated with photosystem ii were isolated from a cdna library of the unicellular marine chlorophyte, dunaliella tertiolecta. we determined the nucleotide sequence of one of these clones, as well as the n-terminal amino acid (aa) sequences of the four mature lhcii apoproteins (24.5, 28.5, 30 and 31 kda). the sequenced cdna clone encoded the precursor of the 28.5-kda apoprotein. we deduced that the transit peptide is ...	2006	2249775

sharpening of ultrasonic scalers.	instruments suitable for removing calculus, plaque and necrotic cementum, which hinder normal periodontal reattachment, are extremely important for successful therapy. the test was carried out in order to see if a standard scaler used for ultrasonic tartar removal maintains its physical features when sharpened. 6 scalers, compatible with piezo-electric generators, were tested and 2 diameters, a and b, weights and resonance frequencies were measured. scalers no. 2, 3, 4, 5, were sharpened and was ...	2006	1894743

a comparison of diagnostic criteria for neuroleptic malignant syndrome.	a variety of diagnostic criteria for neuroleptic malignant syndrome (nms) have been used in clinical studies of this disorder, but it is not known if different criteria consistently identify nms. this study examines agreement between three frequently used sets of diagnostic criteria in a series of possible nms episodes.	2006	1347292

nifedipine reduces the incidence of myocardial infarction and transient ischemia in patients undergoing coronary bypass grafting.	a randomized study was performed on 104 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting to examine whether the infusion of nifedipine (n = 53) reduces the incidence of perioperative myocardial ischemia and necrosis in the early postoperative period. continuous hemodynamic and three-channel holter monitoring was performed for 24 hours and serial assessment of serum enzymes and 12-lead electrocardiography were performed for 36 hours postoperatively. nifedipine (minimum dose, 10 microg ...	2006	1899365
