| structure, biological functions and applications of the ab5 toxins. | ab(5) toxins are important virulence factors for several major bacterial pathogens, including bordetella pertussis, vibrio cholerae, shigella dysenteriae and at least two distinct pathotypes of escherichia coli. the ab(5) toxins are so named because they comprise a catalytic a-subunit, which is responsible for disruption of essential host functions, and a pentameric b-subunit that binds to specific glycan receptors on the target cell surface. the molecular mechanisms by which the ab(5) toxins ca ... | 2010 | 20202851 |
| induction of apoptosis by shiga toxins. | shiga toxins comprise a family of structurally and functionally related protein toxins expressed by shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 and multiple serotypes of escherichia coli. while the capacity of shiga toxins to inhibit protein synthesis by catalytic inactivation of eukaryotic ribosomes has been well described, it is also apparent that shiga toxins trigger apoptosis in many cell types. this review presents evidence that shiga toxins induce apoptosis of epithelial, endothelial, leukocytic, lymp ... | 2010 | 20210553 |
| [the expression of c-myb is strongly associated with the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in breast cancer]. | the c-myb gene was studied in 112 breast cancers. c-myb and estrogen receptor (er) transcripts were found in 78 (70%) and 71 (63%) cancers respectively. of these 71 er positive cancers, 64 (90%) contained c-myb transcripts and of the 41 er negative cancers, 27 (66%) did not contain c-myb mrna. our data show that c-myb transcripts are strongly associated with er and progesterone receptors (p less than 10(-4) status in breast cancer. thus the c-myb expression could be associated with breast cancer ... | 2010 | 2907731 |

| the versatility of hydroxyapatite blocks in maxillofacial surgery. | there is considerable interest at present in the potential role of calcium hydroxyapatite as a biomaterial for bone augmentation in oral and maxillofacial surgery. most of the published work has been on the particulate form, mainly in alveolar ridge procedures. however, hydroxyapatite is also available as solid or porous blocks. the blocks are more predictable in their use than are the particles, and are adaptable and versatile. this paper reviews the biological behaviour of the material and dis ... | 2010 | 2825758 |
| functional significance of the kunitz-type inhibitory domains of lipoprotein-associated coagulation inhibitor. | blood coagulation can be initiated when factor vii or viia, a plasma protease, binds to its essential cofactor, tissue factor (tf), and proteolytically activates factors ix and x, triggering a cascade of events which eventually leads to the formation of thrombin and a fibrin clot. plasma contains a lipoprotein-associated coagulation inhibitor (laci) which inhibits activated factor x (xa) directly and, in a xa-dependent way, inhibits vii(a)/tf activity, presumably by forming a quaternary xa/laci/ ... | 2010 | 2927510 |

| the incidence and significance of seminal vesicle invasion in patients with adenocarcinoma of the prostate. | the incidence and significance of seminal vesicle invasion in patients with adenocarcinoma of the prostate were determined in 139 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy. of the 36 patients who had seminal vesicle invasion, 27 (75%) also had capsular invasion and 13 (43%) had lymph node metastases. disease progression rates were 31% and 58% at 5 and 8 years, respectively. survival rate at 5 years was 90.6% and at 8 years it was 83.7%. of the 103 patients without seminal vesicle invasion, 21 ... | 2009 | 3815316 |
| assessment of the character and incidence of electrocardiographic changes in children with simple obesity. | the studied group comprised 82 children with simple obesity. in the group the character and frequency of ecg changes in 12 conventional leads were analyzed. a correlation was established between the character and frequency of these changes and the degree of overweight and obesity duration. in children with simple obesity a considerable prevalence was observed of disturbances of sinus rhythm, impairment of intraventricular conduction and signs of left ventricular hypertrophy. the observed changes ... | 2009 | 3837606 |

| blood clonal b cell excess (cbe) at diagnosis in patients with non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl). relation to clinical stage, histopathology and response to treatment. | untreated non-leukemic (lymphocytes less than or equal to 4.0 x 10(9)/l) patients with non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) of b cell type often show an excess of b cells in peripheral blood bearing the same light chain isotype as the lymph node tumor cells which may indicate a leukemic spread of the disease. the ratio between kappa- and lambda-bearing lymphocytes (normal range 1.0-3.3) was studied to evaluate the prognostic significance of clonal b cell excess (cbe) at diagnosis in 110 nhl patients. in t ... | 2009 | 3115783 |

| convergence to stationary distributions in two-species stochastic competition models. | two sets of sufficient conditions are given for convergence to stationary distributions, for some general models of two species competing in a randomly varying environment. the models are nonlinear stochastic difference equations which define markov chains. one set of sufficient conditions involves strong continuity and phi-irreducibility of the transition probability for the chain. the second set has a much weaker irreducibility condition, but is only applicable to monotonic models. the results ... | 2009 | 2769087 |
| lead toxicity and iron deficiency in utah migrant children. | we determined the frequency of presumptive iron deficiency and lead toxicity in 198 utah migrant children, ages 9-72 months, during the summer of 1985. there were no confirmed cases of lead toxicity. thirteen per cent of those tested and 30 per cent of the children ages 9-23 months were iron deficient. hematocrit determinations accurately predicted iron deficiency in only 35 per cent of the children confirmed to have this disorder via erythrocyte protoporphyrin screening. | 2009 | 2650572 |
