| structural aspects of pathology in alzheimer's disease. | the characteristic lesions of alzheimer's disease, neurofibrillary tangles and neuritic plaques, are the sites of accumulation of abnormal fibrillar material. the structure of the paired helical filament from tangles has been analysed by electron microscopy and biochemical studies have shown that it contains microtubule associated protein tau as a component. fibrils of beta-amyloid in the neuritic plaque arise by polymerization of a small proteolytic fragment of a much larger precursor protein. ... | 2008 | 2268679 |

| inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate-induced calcium mobilization is localized in xenopus oocytes. | injection of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (ins(1,4,5)p3) into the animal pole of xenopus oocytes induced membrane depolarization due to the internal mobilization of calcium, which activates a chloride conductance. repetitive injections of ins(1,4,5)p3 results in desensitization probably as a result of depletion of the internal store of calcium. desensitization was restricted to the region surrounding the site of injection. injection of ins(1,4,5)p3 at one position induced desensitization, which ... | 2008 | 2575752 |

| relationship of skin thickness to duration of diabetes, glycemic control, and diabetic complications in male iddm patients. | skin thickness is primarily determined by collagen content and is increased in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (iddm). we measured skin thickness in 66 iddm patients aged 24-38 yr and investigated whether it correlated with long-term glycemic control and the presence of certain diabetic complications. with univariate analysis, skin thickness was increased and significantly related to duration of diabetes (p less than .001), previous glycemic control (p less than .001), retinopathy (p less th ... | 2008 | 2721339 |

| prolongation of anesthesia with xylazine, ketamine, and guaifenesin in horses: 64 cases (1986-1989). | on 74 occasions, 54 horses and 6 foals were anesthetized with xylazine and ketamine or xylazine, guaifenesin, and ketamine, with or without butorphanol. on 64 occasions, anesthesia was prolonged for up to 70 minutes (34 +/- 15 min) by administration of 1 to 9 supplemental iv injections of xylazine and ketamine at approximately a third the initial dosage. all horses except 5 were positioned in lateral recumbency, and oxygen was insufflated. in adult horses, the time from induction of anesthesia t ... | 2008 | 2276967 |

| increase of alveolar pressure reduces systemic-to-pulmonary bronchial blood flow in humans. | we studied the effect of positive alveolar pressure (pa) on systemic to pulmonary bronchial blood flow, q?? in humans. the q?? was measured during total cardiopulmonary bypass as the volume of blood accumulating in the left heart. this blood was vented by gravity from the left heart via a cannula introduced in the right upper pulmonary vein and advanced to the lowest portion of the left heart. in group a (n = 10) the qbr(s-p) was measured for 25 to 95 min with constant pa (4.0 +/- 0.2 cm h2o, me ... | 2008 | 2680319 |

| the evaluation of the abdominal aorta: a "how-to" for cardiac sonographers. | a thorough evaluation of the abdominal aorta can be readily achieved by use of the standard views of the echocardiographic examination. the ultrasound evaluation of the abdominal aorta represents a logical extension of the standard echocardiographic examination of the adult patient. this article provides the information needed to carry out a complete ultrasound examination of the abdominal aorta including the anatomy, the vascular disease, and the steps involved in accomplishing the ultrasound e ... | 2008 | 2206553 |
| thermodynamic properties of globular proteins and the principle of stabilization of their native structure. | a semi-empirical method has been used to estimate the thermodynamic parameters of hydration of buried surface areas of ribonuclease s, lysozyme and myoglobin from the model of complete unfolding according to ooi et al. ((1987) proc. natl. acad. sci. usa 84, 3086-3090). the buried surface area of proteins is considered as the difference between the accessible surface area of native protein and the completely extended polypeptide chain according to lee and richards ((1971) j. mol. biol. 55, 379-40 ... | 2008 | 2223840 |
| synthesis and biological activity of 3-vinylthio- and 3-vinylthiomethylcephem derivatives. | the synthesis and biological properties of some 3-vinylthio- and 3-vinylthiomethylcephem derivatives are described. both series possess potent antibacterial activity. among them, 3-[(z)-2-cyanovinylthiomethyl]cephem derivative was found to have an expanded antibacterial spectrum. | 2008 | 2211378 |
| regulation of expression and secretion of nleh, a new non-locus of enterocyte effacement-encoded effector in citrobacter rodentium. | together with enterohemorrhagic escherichia coli and enteropathogenic escherichia coli, citrobacter rodentium is a member of the attaching-and-effacing (a/e) family of bacterial pathogens. a/e pathogens use a type iii secretion system (t3ss) to translocate an assortment of effector proteins, encoded both within and outside the locus of enterocyte effacement (lee), into the colonized host cell, leading to the formation of a/e lesions and disease. here we report the identification and characteriza ... | 2008 | 18223087 |

| on-line monitoring of microbial volatile metabolites by proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry. | a method for analysis of volatile organic compounds (vocs) from microbial cultures was established using proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry (ptr-ms). a newly developed sampling system was coupled to a ptr-ms instrument to allow on-line monitoring of vocs in the dynamic headspaces of microbial cultures. the novel ptr-ms method was evaluated for four reference organisms: escherichia coli, shigella flexneri, salmonella enterica, and candida tropicalis. headspace vocs in sampling bottles con ... | 2008 | 18245241 |
| extracellular-loop peptide antibodies reveal a predominant hemichannel organization of connexins in polarized intestinal cells. | shigella, the causative agent of bacillary dysentery, invades colonic epithelial cells to elicit an intense inflammatory reaction leading to destruction of the mucosa. atp-dependent paracrine signalling induced by connexin (cx) hemichannel opening was previously shown to favor shigella flexneri invasion and dissemination in transfectants of hela cells [g. tran van nhieu, c. clair, r. bruzzone, m. mesnil, p. sansonetti and l. combettes.
