prophylactic parenteral antibiotics in clean neurosurgical procedures: a review. | clean surgical procedures carry a risk of postoperative wound infection that is less than 5% in most hospitals. the use of prophylactic antibiotic agents in clean neurosurgical cases is controversial, and the neurosurgical literature through 1980 contains no controlled clinical trials to study its effectiveness in such cases. a report of 1732 consecutive procedures without a single postoperative wound infection in patients receiving systemic gentamicin, vancomycin, and streptomycin irrigation fl ... | 1988 | 3288725 |
[quantitative estimation of synaptic acetylcholinesterase inhibition with galanthamine using parameters of miniature endplate currents]. | miniature end-plate currents (mepc) were recorded in voltage clamped muscle fibers of the rat diaphragm at different degrees of acetylcholinesterase (ache) inhibition with galanthamine. a model has been suggested connecting the increase in mepc amplitude with the concentration of a competitive reversible ache inhibitor. using the model suggested, the changes in the junctional ache activity inhibited with different concentrations of galanthamine were estimated. the calculated value of the inhibit ... | 1988 | 3390582 |
human and rabbit newborn lung macrophages have reduced anti-candida activity. | bronchoalveolar macrophages (bam) protect the adult lung from low level microbial contamination. the antimicrobial activity of human newborn bam is unknown. bam were isolated from effluents of suctioned, intubated newborns and from bronchoalveolar lavage of healthy, nonsmoking adult volunteers. an in vitro cytologic slide assay was developed and used to ascertain: 1) inhibition of intracellular filamentation of candida albicans (active yeast growth) and 2) killing + digestion of ingested c. albi ... | 1988 | 3062557 |
the relationship of a prochlorophyte prochlorothrix hollandica to green chloroplasts. | it is generally accepted that chloroplasts arose from one or more endosymbiotic events between an ancestral cyanobacterium and a eukaryote. such an origin fits well in the case of the chloroplasts of rhodophytes that, like cyanobacteria, contain chlorophyll a and phycobilin pigments. the green chloroplasts from higher plants, green algae, and euglenoids however, contain chlorophyll b as well as chlorophyll a, and lack phycobilins. consequently, it has been suggested that they arose independently ... | 1989 | 2911389 |
late appearance of phospholipid platelet-activating factor and leukotriene b4 in human skin after repeated antigen challenge. | inflammatory mediators were assessed in supernatants of chamber fluids from eight ragweed- or grass-sensitive subjects during antigen-induced cutaneous inflammatory responses. platelet activating factor (paf) accumulated at concentrations of 1 pm to 90 mumol/l in six of eight subjects beginning at 3 hours and continuing for 9 hours after antigen challenge. leukotriene b4 (ltb4) was detectable at cutaneous sites of antigen challenge in five of five subjects throughout the 9-hour period at levels ... | 1989 | 2538500 |
serum igg level against streptococcus mutans in subjects with caries experience. | serum igg level against streptococcus mutans serotype c was studied in 33 subjects, in relation to dental caries, oral hygiene and age. the activity of the serum igg against the sonicated antigens of the bacterium was evaluated by micro-elisa. the serum igg titer to s. mutans was significantly higher in the subjects with no detectable carious lesions than in the subjects with active caries (p less than 0.05). however, there was no clear difference between the serum igg antibody to s. mutans and ... | 1989 | 2632131 |
fetal choroid plexus lesions. relationship of antenatal sonographic appearance to clinical outcome. | the sonograms and clinical outcomes of 31 fetuses with antenatally detected choroid plexus lesions were retrospectively reviewed. lesions were classified as simple cysts in 22 cases (71%) and complex lesions in 9 (29%). simple cysts tended to be smaller in size than the complex lesions and no adverse sequelae were attributed to the sonographic detection of simple cysts. although complex choroid plexus lesions appeared to be an incidental finding in seven of nine cases (78%), one of the remaining ... | 1989 | 2651694 |

nonacylated human transferrin receptors are rapidly internalized and mediate iron uptake. | the human transferrin receptor is post-translationally modified by the addition of a fatty acyl moiety. in earlier studies, transient expression in cos cells of human transferrin receptors in which cys62 or cys67 was altered to serine provided evidence that cys62 is the major acylation site of the receptor (jing, s., and trowbridge, i. s. (1987) embo j. 6, 327-331). to determine whether acylation of the receptor is required for high efficiency endocytosis and iron uptake, wild type and mutant hu ... | 1990 | 2365686 |
sequence of prochloron didemni atpbe and the inference of chloroplast origins. | the prochlorophytes, oxygenic photosynthetic prokaryotes containing chlorophylls a and b, have been put forward as descended from the organisms that gave rise to chloroplasts of green plants and algae by endosymbiosis, although this has always been controversial. to assess the phylogenetic position of the prochlorophyte prochloron didemni, we have cloned and sequenced its atpbe genes. phylogenetic inference under a range of models gives moderate to strong support for a cyanobacterial grouping ra ... | 1992 | 1532658 |
glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase gene diversity in eubacteria and eukaryotes: evidence for intra- and inter-kingdom gene transfer. | cyanobacteria contain up to three highly divergent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (gapdh) genes: gap1, gap2, and gap3. genes gap1 and gap2 are closely related at the sequence level to the nuclear genes encoding cytosolic and chloroplast gapdh of higher plants and have recently been shown to play distinct key roles in catabolic and anabolic carbon flow, respectively, of the unicellular cyanobacterium synechocystis sp. pcc6803. in the present study, sequences of 10 gapdh genes distribute ... | 1999 | 10331270 |
isolation and characterisation of oxygen evolving thylakoids from the marine prokaryote prochloron didemni. | the present study describes the first successful attempt to isolate oxygen evolving thylakoids and thylakoid fragments from the marine prokaryote prochloron didemni, a member of the recently discovered group of prochlorophytes. oxygen evolving thylakoid membranes and fragments were isolated from seawater suspended cells of prochloron didemni by passage of the cells through a yeda press and subsequent differential centrifugation of the broken material. three fractions were collected at 1000 x g, ... | 1999 | 10338145 |
chlorophyll b and phycobilins in the common ancestor of cyanobacteria and chloroplasts. | photosynthetic organisms have a variety of accessory pigments, on which their classification has been based. despite this variation, it is generally accepted that all chloroplasts are derived from a single cyanobacterial ancestor. how the pigment diversity has arisen is the key to revealing their evolutionary history. prochlorophytes are prokaryotes which perform oxygenic photosynthesis using chlorophyll b, like land plants and green algae (chlorophyta), and were proposed to be the ancestors of ... | 1999 | 10408441 |
structure of a photosystem ii supercomplex isolated from prochloron didemni retaining its chlorophyll a/b light-harvesting system. | prochlorophytes are a class of cyanobacteria that do not use phycobiliproteins as light-harvesting systems, but contain chlorophyll (chl) a/b-binding pcb proteins. recently it was shown that pcb proteins form an 18-subunit light-harvesting antenna ring around the photosystem i (psi) trimeric reaction center complex of the prochlorophyte prochlorococcus marinus ss120. here we have investigated whether the symbiotic prochlorophyte prochloron didemni also contains the same supermolecular complex. u ... | 2003 | 12837938 |
[anterior antehypaphyseal insufficiecency in the elderly]. | the authors report 4 personal cases, and analyse 18 cases of anterior pituitary insufficiency in the elderly found in the world literature. the initial symptoms are not specific and are difficult to interpret. they are frequently attributed to physiological ageing. in the absence of early diagnois, the patient may become comatose, this coma is often irreversible in spite of hormone treatment. in 60% of cases, the cause of the pituitary failure was not found. in the onset of the latter, the role ... | 2003 | 166436 |
psoas abscess localization by gallium scan in aplastic anemia. | gallium 67 scanning is an effective method of detecting inflammatory lesions, especially abscesses. a 10-year-old boy with aplastic anemia and severe leukopenia and granulocytopenia had a psoas abscess diagnosed by gallium scan. the patient died with candida spesis 18 days after bone marrow transplantation. at autopsy, a chronic psoas abscess with candida was found. the gallium scan offers a clinically effective and noninvasive means of evaluating suspected infection in the granulocytopenic pati ... | 2005 | 1091749 |
patellamide a and c biosynthesis by a microcin-like pathway in prochloron didemni, the cyanobacterial symbiont of lissoclinum patella. | prochloron spp. are obligate cyanobacterial symbionts of many didemnid family ascidians. it has been proposed that the cyclic peptides of the patellamide class found in didemnid extracts are synthesized by prochloron spp., but studies in which host and symbiont cells are separated and chemically analyzed to identify the biosynthetic source have yielded inconclusive results. as part of the prochloron didemni sequencing project, we identified patellamide biosynthetic genes and confirmed their func ... | 2005 | 15883371 |

lamp-1 in cho cells is a primary carrier of poly-n-acetyllactosamine chains and is bound preferentially by a mammalian s-type lectin. | recent studies indicate that some mammalian s-type lectins bind preferentially to oligosaccharides containing the repeating disaccharide [3gal beta 1,4glcnac beta 1]n or poly-n-acetyllactosamine (pl) sequence. we report here our investigation on the distribution of these sequences in glycoproteins in chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells and the interaction of glycoproteins containing pl chains with an immobilized s-type lectin (l14) from calf heart tissue. our results demonstrate that pl chains are ... | 2008 | 2268316 |
residual stress in several ceramometal systems. | residual stress caused by a mismatch of alloy-porcelain thermal contraction can contribute to clinical failure of a ceramometal restoration. this investigation assessed thermal compatibility of three ceramometal alloys and two opaque porcelains. thermal expansions of the alloys and porcelains were measured by using a straight push-rod dilatometer. porcelain glass transition temperatures and expansion values were derived from length-versus-temperature curves. residual stress states in alloy-porce ... | 2008 | 2810135 |
angiodysplasia as a cause of iron deficiency anaemia. | angiodysplasia, a condition of unknown aetiology, is thought to represent the commonest cause of obscure gastrointestinal bleeding, particularly in the elderly population. the lesions of angiodysplasia, which are small (less than 5 mm) and usually multiple, consist of microvascular abnormalities in the mucosa and submucosa of the bowel wall. they are most commonly found in the caecum and right side of the colon, but have been observed in the stomach, ileum and elsewhere in the colon. the diagnos ... | 2009 | 2676033 |
membrane effects of the polyene antibiotic amphotericin b and of some of its derivatives on lymphocytes. | amphotericin b (amb) exhibits immunomodulating properties in mice. in vitro studies on lymphocytes, in relation with these properties, are reported here with amb and two of its derivatives: the n-fructosyl (n-fru amb) and the n-thiopropionyl (ambsh) derivatives. interactions of these molecules with thymocytes, a sensitive cell type, demonstrated that the extent of binding is not a toxicity parameter. in contrast, membrane fluidity changes have been observed and appeared to be related to toxicity ... | 2009 | 2695832 |

morbidity and mortality of asthma. | morbidity and mortality of asthma has been on the upswing since the 1960s, as marked by increased hospitalizations with asthma since the early 1980s. this has not been explained adequately. the possibility of change in the natural history or increased exposure to environmental irritant chemicals or allergens has been suggested by some. there probably has been better recognition and diagnosis of asthma by distinguishing it from bronchitis, recurrent croup, and bronchiolitis in children. despite e ... | 2011 | 3174269 |
the control of carotid arterial haemorrhage in head and neck surgery by balloon catheter tamponade and detachable balloon embolisation. | radical surgery in the neck is hazardous after irradiation. rupture of the carotid artery may lead to uncontrollable haemorrhage. reported mortality rates following this serious complication are between 18% and 50% (heller and strong, 1979). we describe a simple method for controlling acute carotid haemorrhage using a standard fogarty biliary catheter, with selective detachable balloon embolisation for permanent occlusion of the carotid artery. | 2011 | 3947797 |

Complex microbiome underlying secondary and primary metabolism in the tunicate-Prochloron symbiosis. | The relationship between tunicates and the uncultivated cyanobacterium Prochloron didemni has long provided a model symbiosis. P. didemni is required for survival of animals such as Lissoclinum patella and also makes secondary metabolites of pharmaceutical interest. Here, we present the metagenomes, chemistry, and microbiomes of four related L. patella tunicate samples from a wide geographical range of the tropical Pacific. The remarkably similar P. didemni genomes are the most complex so far as ... | 2011 | 22123943 |
variation in tropical reef symbiont metagenomes defined by secondary metabolism. | the complex evolution of secondary metabolism is important in biology, drug development, and synthetic biology. to examine this problem at a fine scale, we compared the genomes and chemistry of 24 strains of uncultivated cyanobacteria, prochloron didemni, that live symbiotically with tropical ascidians and that produce natural products isolated from the animals. although several animal species were obtained along a >5500 km transect of the pacific ocean, p. didemni strains are >97% identical acr ... | 2011 | 21445351 |
primary pulmonary amyloidosis. an unusual case with 14 years' survival. | a 70-year-old woman had nodular lesions and a right hilar infiltrate visible on chest x-ray film. the diagnosis of pulmonary amyloidosis was established by a transbronchial lung biopsy. over the next 14 years, the patient remained relatively asymptomatic but developed extensive pulmonary involvement. the case illustrates the long and relatively benign course of primary pulmonary amyloidosis. | 2012 | 3709256 |
excitation energy relaxation in a symbiotic cyanobacterium, prochloron didemni, occurring in coral-reef ascidians, and in a free-living cyanobacterium, prochlorothrix hollandica. | the marine cyanobacterium prochloron is a unique photosynthetic organism that lives in obligate symbiosis with colonial ascidians. we compared prochloron harbored in four different host species and cultured prochlorothrix by means of spectroscopic measurements, including time-resolved fluorescence, to investigate host-induced differences in light-harvesting strategies between the cyanobacteria. the light-harvesting efficiency of photosystems including antenna pcb, ps ii-ps i connection, and pigm ... | 2012 | 22728755 |
microenvironmental ecology of the chlorophyll b-containing symbiotic cyanobacterium prochloron in the didemnid ascidian lissoclinum patella. | the discovery of the cyanobacterium prochloron was the first finding of a bacterial oxyphototroph with chlorophyll (chl) b, in addition to chl a. it was first described as prochloron didemni but a number of clades have since been described. prochloron is a conspicuously large (7-25 μm) unicellular cyanobacterium living in a symbiotic relationship, primarily with (sub-) tropical didemnid ascidians; it has resisted numerous cultivation attempts and appears truly obligatory symbiotic. recently, a p ... | 2012 | 23226144 |
