plasmacytoma of the head and neck.fourteen cases of plasmacytoma arising in the head and neck are described. good local tumour control was achieved with minimal surgery and moderate doses of radiation. subsequent myelomatosis did occur but this was unusual and no more frequent with tumours arising in the maxilla and mandible than at extramedullary sites. it is recommended that all apparently solitary plasma cell tumours of the head and neck are treated by radiotherapy with curative intent and then followed up carefully for life.20133621820
significance of parathyroid hormone (pth) radioimmunoassay in the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism: an experience based on 63 surgically proven cases.the significance of pth-radioimmunoassay was assessed in 63 surgically proven cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. to detect hyperparathyroidism, an increase in the free serum ca index, [1-(8 x alb + 2 x glb + 3)/100] x ca, has the highest predictive value (100%) for a positive test but a low predictive value (11.8%) for a negative test. it was necessary to improve the criteria to rule out the diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism. we therefore carried out a pth radioimmunoassay employing kits made ...20133622392

perceptions of ethical problems by nurses and doctors.to identify how nurses and physicians perceive ethical problems in clinical medicine, we conducted structured interviews with 26 nurses and 24 physicians who work in acute-care units. both groups thought that they frequently encounter ethical problems, although there was significant variation within each group about how often members of each group perceived such problems. members of the health-care team often disagreed about ethical decisions. nurses often described conflicts with physicians, bu ...20133954532
treatment of idiopathic hypercalciuria with indapamide.twenty-six patients with idiopathic hypercalciuria (urine calcium level greater than 300 mg/24 h [7.5 mmol/d]) were treated with indapamide (a nonthiazide diuretic), 2.5 mg/d for 3 consecutive months. a mean decrease in urine calcium levels of 52% was noted (p less than 0.05). when therapy with indapamide was stopped, the calcium levels returned to pretherapy values. the effect of indapamide on urine calcium levels was similar to that of hydrochlorothiazide in 10 patients who were receiving the ...20133719496
[reconstructive plastic surgery of the humeral condyles following removal of endoprostheses of the elbow versus arthrodesis].the condyles of the elbow are of utmost importance for the stability of this joint. this is particularly evident in cases where elbow prostheses had to be removed because of loosening or infection and where the condyles had been deliberately resected at the primary operation. in order to obtain a functional elbow with sufficient stability and mobility after removal of the prostheses, we can reconstruct the condyles by means of a large autologous bone graft, which we take from the midpart of the ...20133658417
acute changes in plasma steroids and agonistic behavior in male japanese quail.a systematic analysis of the acute (minutes to hours) fluctuations of plasma steroids [androstenedione (a), 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone (dht), testosterone (t), corticosterone (b)] was investigated in relation to the fighting behavior displayed by experienced male japanese quail (coturnix coturnix) in short-term (2 min) dyadic encounters. plasma levels of hormones measured in competitors either 1 hr before, during, or 3 min to 6 hr following a fight related poorly to either the attacking or nona ...20134054584
identification of household bacterial community and analysis of species shared with human microbiome.microbial populations in indoor environments, where we live and eat, are important for public health. various bacterial species reside in the kitchen, and refrigerators, the major means of food storage within kitchens, can be a direct source of food borne illness. therefore, the monitoring of microbiota in the refrigerator is important for food safety. we investigated and compared bacterial communities that reside in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator and on the seat of the toilet, wh ...201323743600
effects of antibiotics on bacterial species composition and metabolic activities in chemostats containing defined populations of human gut microorganisms.the composition and metabolic activities of the human colonic microbiota are modulated by a number of external factors, including diet and antibiotic therapy. changes in the structure and metabolism of the gut microbiota may have long-term consequences for host health. the large intestine harbors a complex microbial ecosystem comprising several hundreds of different bacterial species, which complicates investigations on intestinal physiology and ecology. to facilitate such studies, a highly simp ...201323403424
identification of feces by detection of bacteroides genes.in forensic science, the identification of feces is very important in a variety of crime investigations. however, no sensitive and simple fecal identification method using molecular biological techniques has been reported. here, we focused on the fecal bacteria, bacteroides uniformis, bacteroides vulgatus and bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, and developed a novel fecal identification method by detection of the gene sequences specific to these bacteria in various body (feces, blood, saliva, semen, u ...201323068949

species differentiation of bacteroides dorei from bacteroides vulgatus and bacteroides ovatus from bacteroides xylanisolvens - back to basics.we present the results from 16s sequencing and phenotypic tests for differentiation of bacteroides dorei from bacteroides vulgatus and bacteroides ovatus from bacteroides xylanisolvens, which was not possible with maldi-tof ms. testing with β-glucosidase could differentiate b. dorei from b. vulgatus and a negative catalase reaction could identify b. xylanisolvens.201323994205
isolation of bacteroides from fish and human fecal samples for identification of unique molecular markers.bacteroides molecular markers have been used to identify human fecal contamination in natural waters, but recent work in our laboratory confirmed cross-amplification of several human-specific bacteroides spp. assays with fecal dna from fish. for identification of unique molecular markers, bacteroides from human (n = 4) and fish (n = 7) fecal samples were cultured and their identities were further confirmed using rapid id 32a api strips. the 16s rdna from multiple isolates from each sample was pc ...201324313449
discrimination based on gly and arg/ser at position 673 between dipeptidyl-peptidase (dpp) 7 and dpp11, widely distributed dpps in pathogenic and environmental gram-negative bacteria.porphyromonas gingivalis, an asaccharolytic gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium, expresses the novel asp/glu-specific dipeptidyl-peptidase (dpp) 11 (ohara-nemoto, y. et al. (2011) j. biol. chem. 286, 38115-38127), which has been categorized as a member of the s46/dpp7 family that is preferential for hydrophobic residues at the p1 position. from that finding, 129 gene products constituting five clusters from the phylum bacteroidetes have been newly annotated to either dpp7 or dpp11, whereas the re ...201323246913
utilization of major fucosylated and sialylated human milk oligosaccharides by isolated human gut microbes.human milk oligosaccharides (hmos) are not digested in the proximal intestine. in distal intestine, hmos collectively modify the microbiota, but the response of individual bacteria to individual components of the hmos is not well defined. here, each of 25 major isolates of the human intestinal microbiota was fed individual major fucosylated and sialylated hmos in anaerobic culture. this allowed for an assessment of the influence of specific hmos on the growth and metabolic products of individual ...201324013960
pitfalls in mouse norovirus (mnv) detection in fecal samples using rt-pcr, and construction of new mnv-specific primers.the murine norovirus (mnv), which belongs to the caliciviridae family, is prevalent in laboratory mice. since this virus affects macrophages and dendritic cells, infected mice are not suitable for immunological investigations, making it important to detect mnv infections accurately. when we tested rna extracts derived from mouse feces for mnv detection using nested rt-pcr with a set of mnv-specific primers reported by goto et al. (exp. anim. 58: 135-140, 2009), we found that these primers amplif ...201323615307
in vitro growth of four individual human gut bacteria on oligosaccharides produced by chemoenzymatic synthesis.the present study aimed at examining oligosaccharides (os) for potential stimulation of probiotic bacteria. nineteen structurally well-defined candidate os covering groups of β-glucosides, α-glucosides and α-galactosides with degree of polymerization 2-4 were prepared in >100 mg amounts by chemoenzymatic synthesis (i.e. reverse phosphorolysis or transglycosylation). fourteen of the os are not naturally occurring and five (β-d-glucosyl-fructose, β-d-glucosyl-xylitol, α-glucosyl-(1,4)-d-mannose, α ...201323580006
intake of whole-grain and fiber-rich rye bread versus refined wheat bread does not differentiate intestinal microbiota composition in finnish adults with metabolic syndrome.whole-grain (wg) foods rich in indigestible carbohydrates are thought to modulate the composition of the intestinal microbiota. we investigated in a randomized, parallel, 2-arm 12-wk intervention whether consumption of wg and fiber-rich rye breads compared with refined wheat breads affected the microbiota composition in finnish individuals aged 60 ± 6 y with metabolic syndrome. fecal samples from 51 participants (25 males, 26 females) before and after the intervention were processed for the micr ...201323514765
