conductance of the sodium channel in myelinated nerve fibres with modified sodium inactivation.	1. na current fluctuations in nodes of ranvier were measured under voltage clamp conditions as described in the preceding paper (conti, hille, neumcke, nonner & stämpfli, 1976) and analysed in terms of power spectral density calculated for frequencies between 30 hz and 5 khz. 2. external (10(-5) g/ml.) leiurus scorpion venom or anemonia toxin ii (3 x 10(-5) g/ml.) or internal 20 mm iodate were applied in order to remove or slow down inactivation in part of the na channels. the treatment increase ...	2005	1087644
measurement of the conductance of the sodium channel from current fluctuations at the node of ranvier.	single myelinated nerve fibres of rana esculenta were investigated under voltage clamp conditions at 13 degrees c. fluctuations of steady-state membrane current were measured during the last 152 msec of 190-225 msec pulses depolarizing the membrane by 8-48 mv. noise power spectral densities were calculated in the frequency range of 6-6-6757 hz. 2. external application of 150 nm tetrodotoxin (ttx) and/or 10 mm tetraethylammonium (tea) ion reduced the current fluctuations. the difference of curren ...	2005	1087643
correlation of platelet survival time with occlusion of saphenous vein aorto-coronary bypass grafts.	platelet survival time is frequently shortened in patients with coronary artery disease, and it is one of several factors that might contribute to graft occlusion after saphenous vein coronary artery bypass (cab). in 35 patients with cab, average platelet survival (autologous labeling with 51chromium) was shortened in 20 with one or more saphenous vein grafts occluded and normal in 15 with all grafts open. of 15 with all grafts open, individual levels of platelet survival were normal in 10 while ...	2005	1082802
histological analysis of forelimb regeneration in the california newt taricha granulosa.	the regenerative ability of the forelimbs of the california rough-skinned newt, taricha granulosa was determined and compared to the same ability of the adult mexican axolotl, ambystoma mexicanum. forelimbs were amputated distally at the wrist and limbs removed at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 weeks post-amputation were examined by histological analysis. since vitamin a and its derivatives cause extreme changes in pattern formation in the regenerating amphibian limb, we decided to study the ability of ret ...	2005	1525332
