technical considerations in saphenous vein bypass grafts to the right coronary artery.	measurement of the proper length for saphenous vein bypass grafts to the right coronary artery can be complicated by the increase in cardiac volume that takes place when extracorporeal circulation is discontinued. inadequate or excessive allowance for this increase can cause undue tension on the grafts or troublesome kinking. this report describes an improved method of orienting vein bypass grafts to the right coronary artery which eliminates problems of incorrect measurement.	2004	305767
b- and t-cells and ig-containing blast cells in healthy children.	studies on rosette-forming cells and igg, iga, igm and ige-bearing lymphocytes were carried out in 70 healthy children aged 5 to 15 years. furthermore, in 20 of these children, the percentages of igg, iga, igm and ige-containing blast cells after pokeweed mitogen stimulation of peripheral lymphocytes were evaluated. no differences in the percentages of rosette-forming cells, or in ig-bearing and ig-containing cells were found when three different age-groups were compared.	2004	303435

circular dichroic properties and conformation of thionicotinamide dinucleotides.	the spectroscopic properties of the 3-thioamide analogues of coenzymes nad and nadh (snad and snadh) have been investigated in order to obtain information about their conformational properties. in particular, ultraviolet absorption and circular dichroism properties of solutions in phosphate buffer ph 7 and ethanol were studied. also equimolar mixtures of amp and snmn(h), obtained by cleaving the coenzymes with phosphodiesterase, were investigated using the same solvents. the appearance of a coup ...	2003	204482
an anatomicopathological approach to the study of articular aging.	bone and joint aging results from the combined action of various metabolic and mechanical factors. osteoarticular aging produces primary changes in bone (intrinsic rarefaction, but also extrinsic osteogenesis), cartilage, synovial membrane, and tendon. the association of these primary changes can result basically in three anatomicopathological entities: hyperostosis and osteophytes at tendon insertions, senile remodeling, and osteoarthritic remodeling. some of these entities are asymptomatic. ot ...	2003	182625
nonchromaffin paraganglioma (chemodectoma) of thyroid region.	a case of a paraganglioma located over the thyroid cartilage in the midline is reported. the tumor had all the appearances of a carotid body tumor, but its odd location could not be explained on the basis of previously known areas where paraganglionic tissues have been found. since a paraganglioma has also hitherto been described within the thyroid gland, clinicians and pathologists alike are cautioned that unusually located paragangliomas may be expected in the future.	2003	168958
receptive fields of cerebellar cells receiving exteroceptive input in a gymnotid fish.	single neurons in the caudal lobe of the cerebellum of the weakly electric fish apteronotus albifrons respond to distortions in the normal electric field produced by the animal. moving plastic or metal objects as well as a simpler stimulus, a moving electrical dipole, produce adequate distortions of the fish's field to cause the cerebellar cells to respond. the moving dipole stimulated small enough areas of the fish's skin, as determined by the responses of single electroreceptors, to allow maps ...	2003	165269

comparison of two major forms of the shigella virulence plasmid pinv: positive selection is a major force driving the divergence.	all shigella and enteroinvasive escherichia coli (eiec) strains carry a 230-kb virulence plasmid (pinv) which is essential for their invasiveness. there are two sequence forms, pinv a and pinv b, of the plasmid (r. lan, b. lumb, d. ryan, and p. r. reeves, infect. immun. 69:6303-6309, 2001), and the recently sequenced pinv plasmid from shigella flexneri serotype 5 is a pinv b form. in this study we sequenced the majority of the coding region of the pinv a form from s. flexneri serotype 6 other th ...	2003	14573649
mycobacterium marinum escapes from phagosomes and is propelled by actin-based motility.	mycobacteria are responsible for a number of human and animal diseases and are classical intracellular pathogens, living inside macrophages rather than as free-living organisms during infection. numerous intracellular pathogens, including listeria monocytogenes, shigella flexneri, and rickettsia rickettsii, exploit the host cytoskeleton by using actin-based motility for cell to cell spread during infection. here we show that mycobacterium marinum, a natural pathogen of fish and frogs and an occa ...	2003	14597736
fitness cost of the green fluorescent protein in gastrointestinal bacteria.	there are surprisingly few studies that have successfully used the green fluorescent protein (gfp) as a quantitative reporter in selection experiments screening for inducible bacterial promoters. one explanation is that gfp expression may confer a fitness cost for bacteria. to test this possibility, we monitored the doubling time in enteric bacteria expressing gfp. four bacterial species, escherichia coli, enterohaemorrhagic e. coli, shigella flexneri, salmonella typhi, and vibrio cholerae, were ...	2003	14608419
shigella flexneri sepsis in an infant.	shigellosis continues to be an important public health problem in developed countries, since communication in the world village has become more frequent. in addition, this disease is difficult to be prevented because only a small number of bacteria are required to cause infection, and it has exhibited steady trends towards multiple drug resistance. this report describes a 7-month-old female infant with shigella flexneri sepsis presenting initially with a high fever, watery diarrhea, and dehydrat ...	2003	14609044
[co-expression of cfa/i and cs6 of enterotoxigenic escherichia coli ( etec ) in shigella flexneri 2a t32 derivative strain fwl01].	among the known colonization factors of enterotoxigenic escherichia coli (etec), cfa/i and cs6 (the common antigen in the cfa/iv fimbrial antigens ) are two of the most prevalent fimbriae found in clinical isolates but are never expressed by the same wild-type strains. in this study, cfa/i and cs6 of etec were co-expressed in shigella flexneri 2a t32 derivative strain fwl01 by using a host-plasmid lethal balancing system based on asd gene. the results indicate that the recombinant plasmid carryi ...	2003	14614538
cold shock induction of rnase r and its role in the maturation of the quality control mediator ssra/tmrna.	in this paper we show that rnase r is a cold shock protein that is induced seven- to eightfold by cold shock and that its expression is tightly regulated by temperature. transcriptional studies reveal that the rnr gene is co-transcribed with flanking genes as an operon induced under cold shock. the induction of rnase r levels is mainly a result of the stabilization of the rnr transcripts. the transient stability of the rnr transcripts is shown to be regulated by pnpase at the end of the acclimat ...	2003	14622421
analysis of virulence and inflammatory potential of shigella flexneri purine biosynthesis mutants.	several shigella flexneri mutants with defects in aromatic amino acid and/or purine biosynthesis have been evaluated as vaccines in humans or in animal models. to be suitable as a vaccine, a mutant has to show virulence attenuation, minimal reactogenicity, and a good immunogenic potential in animal models. with this aim, we have constructed five s. flexneri 5 (wild-type strain m90t) mutants with inactivation of one or two of the loci purek, purhd, and guaba, governing early or late steps of puri ...	2003	14638790

[speech discrimination and dynamic compression. a comparative study with hearing aids (author's transl)].	a hearing aid with dynamic compression and the very same one without dynamic compression were used for an examination of 13 patients with recruitment who were hard of hearing with respect to sound perception. the maximum degree of speech discrimination possible to be reached was determined. although in general the hearing aid with dynamic compression yielded better results, the differences between the two aids were, however, small and showed a high scattering range. thus, we have to draw the con ...	2003	142877
