| brain beta-endorphin and spinal-cord enkephalin concentrations in experimental arachnoiditis. | arachnoiditis was produced experimentally in male albino icr mice by intrathecal injection of meglumine iocarmate . a control group received intrathecal injection of an electrolyte solution resembling csf. eight weeks after injection, the brains and spinal cords were removed for brain beta-endorphin and spinal cord met-enkephalin measurement by radioimmunoassay, and the dural sacs were removed for histologic examination to confirm the presence or absence of arachnoiditis. brain beta-endorphin co ... | 2010 | 2951348 |
| hla-linked nonresponsiveness to cryptomeria japonica pollen antigen. i. nonresponsiveness is mediated by antigen-specific suppressor t cell. | the objective of this study was to elucidate the cellular mechanism of ige nonresponse to the cryptomeria japonica (japanese cedar) pollen antigen (cpag), which was shown in our previous study to be hla-linked (1). we established an assay system for the measurement of small amounts of anti-cpag ige antibody, both in an antigen-specific and isotype-specific manner, and a culture system to induce antigen-driven ige antibody synthesis in vitro. by using these methods, we clarified that the function ... | 2010 | 2946774 |
| characterization of two monoclonal idiotype-binding suppressor t cell factors specific for the antibody response to l-glutamic acid60-l-alanine30-l-tyrosine10 (gat). | we have previously identified and described two distinct types of suppressor t cell factors specific for the pfc response to l-glutamic acid60-l-alanine30-l-tyrosine10 (gat) or l-glutamic acid50-l-tyrosine50 (gt). both of these factors are antigen-specific and i-j+. gat-tsf1 is not mhc-restricted and is composed of a single polypeptide chain, whereas gat-tsf2 is mhc-restricted and is composed of two different polypeptide chains. we have not previously found evidence for an obligatory, idiotype-s ... | 2010 | 2946767 |

| percutaneous transluminal angioplasty improves blood pressure and renal function in renovascular hypertension. | thirty-three patients with renal angiographic evidence of significant renal artery stenosis were referred for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. the indications were poorly controlled hypertension (n = 13) or hypertension associated with deteriorating renal function (n = 20). their mean age was 56 (23-73) years (12 males, 21 females). causes of the renal artery stenosis were fibromuscular dysplasia (n = 8) and atheromatous changes (n = 25). four patients were excluded, three due to technical ... | 2010 | 2958895 |
| surgical streams in the flow of health care financing. the role of surgery in national expenditures: what costs are controllable? | the dollar flow in united states medical care has been analyzed in terms of a six-level model; this model and the gross 1981 flow data are set forth. of the estimated $310 billion expended in 1981, it is estimated that $85-$95 billion was the "surgical stream", i.e., that amount expended to take care of surgical patients at a variety of institutional types and including ambulatory care and surgeons' fees. some of the determinants of surgical flow are reviewed as well as controllable costs and ca ... | 2010 | 3918514 |

| immunoglobulin a deposition in jejunal mucosa of children with dermatitis herpetiformis. | previously we have shown by indirect immunofluorescence (if) technique that a special iga antibody in the sera of patients with dermatitis herpetiformis (dh) binds to the structures of the normal jejunum. now we show by direct if that specific iga deposits are present in the proximal jejunum of 11/12 dh and 2/2 celiac patients before a gluten-free diet (gfd). the iga deposition was in a tubular pattern underlying the villous and crypt epithelial basement membranes and in the lamina propria. this ... | 2010 | 3049830 |

| vascular dysplasia of arteries in neurocristopathies: a lesson for neurofibromatosis. | in a 15-year-old girl suffering from congenital constipation, megacolon combined with a 'ranken neuroma' of the rectum and a short aganglionic segment of distal colon was observed. the specific vascular alterations in the region of the ranken neuroma (which has previously been described in cases of von recklinghausen neurofibromatosis) were studied, with an emphasis on immunohistochemical methods. the results suggest that the pericytes are the cells primarily involved in the distinctive alterati ... | 2010 | 3152480 |
| depression and physical illness among elderly general medical clinic patients. | in this study we conducted a resurvey at 33 months of elderly general medical clinic outpatients previously classified as depressed or not using the zung self-rating depression scale. resurvey results and review of medical records permitted characterization of the point prevalences of depression at the time of the initial and follow-up surveys, and identification of physical illness factors associated with depression. the point prevalences of depression were approximately equal (20%), although o ... | 2010 | 2941471 |
| [diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in extrauterine pregnancy]. | between 1969 and 1985 surgery was performed in 456 cases of extrauterine pregnancy (eup) at tübingen university gynecological clinic. the average number of such operations performed annually rose from 11 in the first six years to 61 in the last three years. as a result of early detection and treatment of eup, tubal ruptures and severe intraabdominal hemorrhages have become increasingly rare. in the last six years, blood transfusions were only necessary in 6% of the patients who underwent surgery ... | 2010 | 2953643 |
