| inhibition of cytotoxic t lymphocyte-mediated lysis by etya: effect independent of arachidonic acid metabolism. | cytotoxic t lymphocyte (ctl)-mediated lysis of target cells was inhibited by 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraynoic acid (etya) and other inhibitors of the lipoxygenase pathway at concentrations that inhibited arachidonic acid metabolism in mixed lymphocyte cultures. inhibition was reversible and selective for the "lethal hit" stage in the ctl-target interaction. studies to define ctl-specific arachidonic acid metabolites demonstrated that cloned ctl populations have little or no capacity to metabolize arac ... | 2010 | 2981259 |
| some analyses of forgetting of pictorial material in amnesic and demented patients. | three experiments evaluating the rate of forgetting of pictorial stimuli in amnesic, demented, and normal control subjects are reported. when prolonged exposures of pictorial material were used to equate recognition performance after a 10-min delay, alcoholic korsakoff (ak) patients and patients with huntington's disease (hd) demonstrated normal rates of forgetting over a 1-week period. in addition to replicating previous findings with ak patients, these results are consistent with recent sugges ... | 2010 | 2941450 |
| ex vivo platelet studies following oral nisoldipine in normotensive insulin-dependent diabetics and non-diabetic controls. | the effect of 24 hours and 7 days treatment with nisoldipine (10 mg, twice daily) on platelet function was studied in 12 normotensive volunteers of whom six were insulin-dependent diabetics without clinical evidence of vascular complications. platelet aggregation was assessed by platelet rich plasma (prp) and whole blood (wb) techniques. in addition, the effect of nisoldipine on platelet hyperaggregability following exercise was assessed. after taking nisoldipine for 24 hours, in vitro platelet ... | 2010 | 2976336 |
| antiprotease capacity in acute pancreatitis. | serial measurements of circulating antiproteases were carried out on 42 consecutive patients admitted with acute pancreatitis. in the 7 days following admission the serum levels of alpha 1 antitrypsin (alpha 1 at), alpha 1 antichymotrypsin (alpha 1 act) and the trypsin inhibitory capacity (tic) increased by more than 300 per cent. the serum concentration of alpha 2 macroglobulin (alpha 2 m) alone showed a decline which was most profound in those patients with severe acute pancreatitis. initial e ... | 2010 | 3768647 |
| screening for cancer. | screening has proved effective for only two cancer sites, the breast and the cervix uteri. only for these, therefore, should screening be a part of routine clinical practice. the degree to which screening is effective depends on whether appropriate groups are screened. for cancer of the breast, current evidence justifies mammographic screening every two years only from the age of 50, continuing at least to the age of 70. the place of breast self-examination and physical examination of the breast ... | 2010 | 3074570 |
| neck pain. | six conditions cause most of the neck pain complaints seen by primary care physicians: cervical muscle strain or sprain, torticollis, acceleration injury, myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome, and cervical osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. most of them can be diagnosed and treated by the primary care physician. of the more unusual causes, one should not miss a clinical fracture; a herniated cervical disc, spinal cord compression from a disc, or epidural tumor; infection of the disc or the ... | 2010 | 3068689 |
