sv40 dna sequences as an example of the structure of genes functioning in animal cell nuclei.recent studies of the structure of messenger rna have demonstrated the existence of untranslated sequences of the 3' and 5' end of the messages. in addition analysis of transcription in vitro has indicated that the nucleotide sequence u6 purine may be part of a transcription termination signal in prokaryotes. recently it has been possible to determine the sequence of extensive portions of the dna of sv40 virus. this article reviews the analogies between certain of these sequences and sequences a ...1976185508
[screening of newborns for inborn errors of galactose metabolism. methods and results].three inborn errors of galactose metabolism as known today. only two of them cause illness: the deficiencies of galactokinase and of galactose-l-phosphate uridyltransferase. both can be detected through mass screening of newborns and are amenable to a simple and successful dietary treatment. mass screening of newborns for disorders of galactose metabolism can be performed efficiently and inexpensively if it is incorporated in the general newborn screening program.1976185513
atp-ppi exchange activity of progesterone receptor.progesterone receptor preparations from avian oviduct catalyze a pyrophosphate (ppi)-exchange reaction between atp and 32p-labeled ppi. the reaction requires atp exclusively and is mn++-dependent. this enzyme activity is detectable in receptor preparations that have been purified extensively by chromatography on atp-sepharose and deae-sephadex columns. polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of purified preparations reveals a comigration of [3h]progesterone-receptor complex and the enzyme activity. t ...1976185612
inhibition of the glucose induced insulin release by somatostatin in the isolated perfused rat pancreas. action of cyclic amp, glucagon and glibenclamide.insulin release in the perfused isolated rat pancreas was measured after stimulation with 16.5 mm glucose with and without somatostatin (cycle form, 100 ng/ml) in the medium. a complete blockage of the typical biphasic pattern of insulin release ocurred with somatostatin in the medium. such blockage was abolished when camp (2.5 mm) and a 0.5 ml solution of glucagon (1 mg/ml) were continuously perfused for 20-minute periods and for 30-second periods correspondently. it did not take place when gli ...1976185668
systemic stress in the production of cardiac thrombosis in hypercholesterolaemic rats.an experimental study to elucidate the effects of feeding a high fat diet, hypercholesterolaemia and superadded acute and chronic stress on the production of cardiac thrombosis was carried out in rats. the high fat diet contained 25 percent butter rat providing 45 percent calories from fat which produced significant increase of serum cholesterol and other lipids. acute stress was induced by two injections of adrenaline on a single day which caused a marked transient alteration of haemodynamics. ...1976185673

the laboratory diagnosis of megaloblastic anemias.the diagnostic approach to megaloblastic anemia involves four usually sequential steps. the first step, recognition of megaloblastosis, requires attention to altered blood cell size and morphology. these changes may sometimes be subtle or masked. the cornerstone of the second step, identification of the specific vitamin deficiency, is assay of serum vitamin b(12) and folic acid levels, although they may occasionally be misleading. the third step, identification of the specific disease entity res ...1977351964

chemical composition, serological reactivity and endotoxicity of lipopolysaccharides extracted in different ways from bacteroides fragilis, bacteroides melaninogenicus and bacteroides oralis.lipopolysaccharides (lps) extracted from strains of bacteroides fragilis, bacteroides melaninogenicus and bacteroides oralis with phenol-water, trichloroacetic acid, edta or liquid phenol-chloroform-petroleum ether (pcp) and isolated by ultracentrifugation, varied considerably in their quantitative chemical composition. negligible yields of lps were obtained by pcp-extraction. all preparations were more or less serologically active. all methods (except pcp) extracted the same o-antigenic determi ...197719922
effect of contrast media on the rate of oxidation of nadp.h and nad.h by rat liver microsomes.the effect of roentgen-contrast media on the activity of the nadp'n and nad'n-dependent electron-transport chains of the rats liver microsomes was studied. bilignost, cardiotrast, triiotrast and triombrin are shown to lower the rate of the nadp'n oxidation by the rats' liver microsomes and have no effect (except for triiotrast) upon the rate of the nad'n oxidation. it is presumed that the relative resistance of the nad'n-specific flavoproteid is due to the presence of a hydrophobic layer impervi ...197720329
comparison of the ribonucleoproteins of different rabies virus serotypes by radioimmunoassay.radioimmunoassay (ria) provides a sensitive serological procedure for detecting rabies virus ribonucleoprotein (rnp) as well as its specific antibodies, ria was carried out using highly purified rnps labelled by the chloramine-t method. this paper describes optimal conditions for iodination of rnp with high specific activity. the optimal concentrations of 125i, rnp, chloramine-t, and reducing agent as well as the effect of ph on the reaction were investigated. ria proved to be extremely sensitiv ...197722569
current aspects of gas gangrene, apropos of 47 cases collected over a 3-year period (1974-1976).on the basis of 47 cases of gas gangrene collected over the three year period between 1974 and 1976, the authors review the circumstances surrounding its development, the clinical features and the prognosis of the disorder which remains grave despite a well-defined therapeutic protocol combining surgery, antibiotics and hyperbaric oxygen. there would appear to be a real resurgence of the disease at the present time. post-traumatic and surgical aetiologies predominate, giving rise to two types of ...197723023
bacteroides fragilis septicemia.on the basis of eight cases of bacteroides fragilis septicaemia, the authors review recent data from the literature related to this topic. they first note the increasing prevalence, accounting for approximately 10 per cent of all septicaemias at the present time. they note that the most frequent portals of entry are sites of localised suppuration, related on the one hand to digestive or gynaecological surgery and, secondly, to the post-partum or post-abortum period. from a therapeutic standpoint ...197723026

cross-reactivity of bacteroides fragilis o antigens.the cross-reactivity of o antigens prepared from bacteroides fragilis, other bacteroides species and from fusobacterium has been examined by indirect haemagglutination and inhibition of haemagglutination. fifteen of 20 b. fragilis ss. fragilis strains showed o-antigenic cross-reactivity with one or more of the test strains of b. fragilis ss. fragilis: nctc 9343, lille e 323 and sbl b55. the same applies also to 3 strains classified as b. coagulans, b. hypermegas and b. putredinis. the multispeci ...197765902
identification of the presence and type of biliary microflora by immediate gram stains.immediate gram stains were performed on gallbladder bile aspirated at the start of an operation for biliary disease in 191 consecutive patients undergoing elective biliary surgery. the results of the gram stains were telephoned to the operating theater within 20 minutes of collection. the over-all accuracy rate of the telephone gram stain reports compared with the subsequent bile cultures was 77 percent. the incidence of false-positive results was 12 percent, and false-negative results were reco ...197766763
