effects of mescaline and amphetamine on simultaneous visual discrimination in two inbred strains of mice.	the effects of mescaline and amphetamine were investigated in balb/cj (balb) and c57bl/6j (c57) mice using the five-choice yerkes--thompson bryant--bovet-nitti apparatus for patterns discrimination. two sets of experiments were carried out. in the first set, pretrial administration of mescaline (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) was followed by performance improvements in the c57 mice, while performances of the balb strain were impaired by the treatment, as compared with those of the saline-injected (4 ml/kg ...	1998	108746

free genes for rrnas in the macronuclear genome of the ciliate stylonychia mytilus.	when separated on an agarose gel, macronuclear dna of the hypotrichous ciliate stylonychia mytilus gives rise to many well-defined bands ranging in molecular weight from 0.3 x 10(6) to 14 x 10(6) dalton. hybridization of 25 s rrna, 17s rrna or 5 s rna to such a gel revealed sharp hybridization bands. this suggests that this banding pattern is not an artefact due to nonspecific degradation of macronuclear dna but that the dna in the macronucleus of stylonychia occurs in discrete fragments, each c ...	1998	104846

the use of parenteral nutrition in the management of external gastrointestinal tract fistulae.	malnutrition is common in patients with gastrointestinal tract fistula, and is an important cause of the high mortality seen with this surgical complication. a prospective review of three years' experience in the management of fistulae with parenteral nutrition was undertaken, and the results obtained were compared with those in a group of patients treated prior to the introduction of this form of therapy. the use of parenteral nutrition resulted in a reduction of the mortality from 63% to 23% i ...	1998	107936

nonvisualized gallbladder by cholecystosonography.	to further define the significance of gallbladder nonvisualization by cholecystosonography, we studied follow-up data on 25 consecutive patients in whom the gallbladder could not be identified despite adequate fasting. in one patient, intravenous cholangiography demonstrated a large gallbladder but no gallstones. in the 24 cases for which a pathoanatomic diagnosis was established, all but two had diseased gallbladders with obliteration of the lumen. this 88% accuracy for positive prediction conf ...	1998	107735
lysosomal hydrolases in csf of patients with multiple sclerosis.	the activities of acid phosphatase and n-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase have been measured in 171 samples of cerebrospinal fluid from 104 patients suffering from multiple sclerosis. the mean level of activity of these enzymes was lower than of controls. patients who had the first or second bouts had somewhat higher activity of these enzymes compared to controls. the lowest values of these enzymes were found in patients with severe disability. patients with late onset of the disease had higher level ...	1998	107718
