| the e2f transcription factor is a cellular target for the rb protein. | although it is generally believed that the product of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene (rb1) is an important regulator of cell proliferation, the biochemical mechanism for its action is unclear. we now show that the rb protein is found in a complex with the e2f transcription factor and that only the under phosphorylated form of rb is in the e2f complex. moreover, the adenovirus e1a protein can dissociate the e2f-rb complex, dependent on e1a sequence also critical for e1a to bind to rb. the ... | 2006 | 1828392 |

| are bunina bodies of endoplasmic reticulum origin? an ultrastructural study of subthalamic eosinophilic inclusions in a case of atypical motor neuron disease. | we carried out an electron microscopic study of eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusions in the subthalamic neurons in a case of atypical motor neuron disease. these inclusions were identical in light microscopic morphology and staining characteristics to bunina bodies. ultrastructurally, most of the intracytoplasmic inclusions observed were divisible into two different types (i and ii). type i inclusions had features essentially identical to those of bunina bodies demonstrated previously in the ... | 2006 | 1664638 |
| [emission computed tomography in the diagnosis of lung diseases]. | investigations of pulmonary perfusion with 99m tc-mma by the method of emission computed tomography (ect) were conducted in 172 patients with different pulmonary diseases. the authors described ect procedure of the lungs and scinti-tomographic symptomatology typical of the normal lungs and different types of pulmonary pathology (lung cancer, benign tumors, metastases and chronic inflammatory pulmonary processes). a high sensitivity of ect as compared to poly-positional scintigraphy was shown. th ... | 2006 | 3257804 |

| selective gut decontamination reduces nosocomial infections and length of stay but not mortality or organ failure in surgical intensive care unit patients. | suppression of the gut luminal aerobic flora to reduce nosocomial infections was tested in a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in patients in a surgical intensive care unit who had persistent hypermetabolism. forty-six patients were randomized to receive either norfloxacin, 500-mg suspension every 8 hours, together with nystatin, 1 million units every 6 hours, or matching placebo solutions administered through a nasogastric tube within 48 hours of surgical ... | 2006 | 1540093 |
| australia's most pressing social problem: nursing vs non-nursing students' views. | nursing and non-nursing students (n = 297) were surveyed in 1989 for their opinion of 'australia's most pressing social problem'. significant differences were found between the two groups. although race relations in australia headed the concerns of both groups of students, nursing students consistently chose health-related issues as their choices for 'the most pressing social problem' facing the australian nation. several explanations for this 'focused' interest of nursing students are discussed ... | 2006 | 1538676 |

| are electrocardiogram changes the first sign of impending peri-operative pneumothorax? | a patient in the right lateral position underwent left nephrectomy, after which he was placed supine for insertion of an arteriovenous fistula. all haemodynamic and respiratory values, including peak inspiratory pressure, were within normal limits and unchanged from baseline measurements. however, following the position change we noted that the amplitude of the electrocardiogram complexes were dramatically reduced. our differential diagnosis included the possibility of a pneumothorax, which was ... | 2006 | 1489031 |
| sleep patterns in acute ischemic stroke. | we studied polysomnographic recordings using an oxford medilog 9000 system in 18 patients with ischemic stroke in the middle cerebral artery territory. all patients underwent neurologic examination and brain ct scan within 5 h after the onset of symptoms. polysomnographic recordings were started immediately thereafter and went on for three nights. clinical and polysomnographic follow-up were performed 3 weeks after admission. the number and duration of rem phases were significantly reduced in th ... | 2006 | 1481642 |
| [hemodynamics and serum nitroglycerin concentration during intraoperative use of nitroglycerin patches]. | we investigated the effect of number of nitroglycerin (tng) as patches, containing 5 mg of tng per sheet, on hemodynamics in 29 adult patients undergoing elective surgery. patients were randomly allocated to four groups according to the number of the sheets applied (0, 2, 5 and 10 sheets). hemodynamics as well as plasma tng concentration were measured at 4 points (just before and 30, 60 or 120 minutes after application of tng patch) in each group (n > or = 6). plasma tng concentrations depended ... | 2006 | 1479656 |

| spontaneous degenerative polyarthritis in male new zealand black/kn mice. | histopathologic studies and radiographic analysis revealed that male new zealand black/kn (nzb/kn) mice develop degenerative polyarthritis in the joints of the forepaw and hindpaw beginning at age 2 months. deposits of autoantibodies were observed on proliferating collagen fibers, nuclei of chondrocytes, and epidermal cells. increases in the frequency of positivity for rheumatoid factor and anti-type ii collagen antibodies and in the level of serum oxidation activity were noted in these mice. th ... | 2006 | 1994914 |
