| the adenosine triphosphate-pyrophosphate isotopic exchange reaction: a tool for determination of tryptophan. | quantitative determination of tryptophan at the picomole level is described, using the atp-[32p]ppi isotopic exchange reaction catalyzed by tryptophanyl-trna synthetase. sensitivity limits of 500 fmol were obtained. the presence of other amino acids at a 1000-fold excess over tryptophan did not interfere significantly with the quantitative determination of tryptophan. the specificity of the reaction was checked using five tryptophan analogs. these analogs did not prevent the determination of try ... | 2010 | 3014918 |
| malignant mixed mullerian tumor arising in extragenital endometriosis: report of a case and review of the literature. | a primary malignant mixed mullerian tumor (mmmt) was found in the wall of the rectum of a 67-year-old female. the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries had been previously excised for benign disease. the tumor was associated with foci of benign endometriosis. a literature review of extragenital mmmts indicates that these are extremely rare tumors. this case supports the theory that endometriosis may serve as a progenitor to extraendometrial malignancy. | 2010 | 3002920 |
| peculiarities of the endocrine time structure in noninsulin-dependent adult-onset (type ii) diabetes mellitus. | twenty noninsulin-dependent elderly diabetic patients, ten of whom were treated by oral hypoglycemic agents and ten of whom were regulated by diet alone, and 20 clinically healthy subjects matched for age, sex, height, and weight were examined with six blood and six urine samples at 4-hr intervals over a 24-hr span. plasma acth, cortisol, aldosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (dhea-s) were determined by radioimmunoassay (ria); epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine in urine were det ... | 2010 | 3037559 |

| combined thrombolytic therapy and coronary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction. | from september, 1983, to august, 1984, combined thrombolytic therapy and percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty was used to treat 22 cases of acute myocardial infarction. initial coronary angiograms showed total obstruction in 13 and severe stenosis in 9. intracoronary infusion of urokinase reopened 7 of 13 totally occluded lesions but left a residual severe stenosis. coronary angioplasty opened all of the remaining totally obstructed lesions and decreased the stenosis in 14 of 16 stenos ... | 2010 | 2939702 |

| interactions of monomeric igg bearing covalently bound c3b with polymorphonuclear leucocytes. | the interactions of monomeric igg, monomeric c3b, dimeric c3b, and c3b covalently bound to igg (c3b-igg) with neutrophils were examined. c3b-igg heterodimers exhibited an increased affinity of binding to neutrophils, relative to c3b, both at half normal ionic strength (five-fold enhancement) and at normal ionic strength (six-fold enhancement). binding of monomeric igg to neutrophils was barely detectable and did not permit direct measurements of affinity in our assay conditions. the increased af ... | 2010 | 2953672 |
| i.v. sedation for conservative dentistry. a comparison of midazolam and diazepam. | midazolam and the emulsion formulation of diazepam were compared in a cross-over study in 50 patients undergoing out-patient conservative dentistry, with particular regard to sedation and the quality of recovery. both agents proved effective, but sedation was achieved more rapidly with midazolam (p = 0.001) and was more effective (p less than 0.02). significantly greater anterograde amnesia for the dental procedure (p less than 0.001) and a more rapid return to normal activities (p less than 0.0 ... | 2010 | 2937434 |

| tissue reaction to implant corrosion in 38 internal fixation devices. | the corrosion characteristics, metallurgical properties, and clinical performance of 38 retrieved internal fixation devices were correlated with the tissue reaction to these devices. metallurgical parameters included thin and heavy inclusion content, rockwell hardness, and grain size. the excised fibrous tissue strip was directly overlying each plate at removal and sectioned between screw-hole sites. the material studied from the 38 plates consisted of 201 screw-hole junctions with associated ti ... | 2011 | 3368412 |
| analysis of 585 burn patients hospitalized over a 6-year period. part ii: aetiological data. | in a population of 585 burn patients from a well-defined urban area, the contribution of a number of factors to the occurrence of the burn injury is examined. these are: place where burned; activity of the patient at the time; contribution of various appliances and materials; the influence of clothing on the extent of the injury. these findings should prove helpful in future efforts at burn prevention. | 2011 | 3768750 |
