augmentation of the in vitro humoral immune response by pharmacologic agents. i: an explanation for the differential enhancement of humoral immunity via agents that elevate camp.agents that elevate intracellular concentrations of camp in cultured spleen cells can augment the in vitro 19s humoral immune response to srbc. dbcamp and 8brcamp were more effective than mix, ct, pge1, or iso in producing the enhanced pfc response, when they were present only during an early stage of immune induction. the thesis is presented that the differential ability of these agents to augment humoral immunity results from their relative ability to maintain elevated concentrations of intrac ...200195570
[the stage of articular destruction in the rheumatoid hand].function incapacitation of the hand in rheumatoid arthritis was studied on 33 patients (54 hands). 35 were operated on. all cases had reached the stage of articular destructions. the authors emphasize the importance of preserved proximal inter-phalangeal joint for digito-palmar pinch. thumb unstability was not severely disabling as long as the other digits were normal. however, when it was associated with hyperextension deformities of the other fingers, the hand became useless. surgical indicati ...2002124071
