| a comparative study of ro 03-8799: racemic mixture and enantiomers. | the maximum single dose of the 2-nitroimidazole hypoxic cell radiosensitiser ro 03-8799 is limited to 1 g/m2 by the occurrence of a well characterised acute syndrome of sweating, nausea and mental changes. in an attempt to increase the tolerable dose, the clinical toxicity of the racemic mixture was compared with that of the r- and s-enantiomers of ro 03-8799. twelve patients received escalating alternate doses of racemic mixture and r- or s-enantiomer, the dose levels being 0.25 g/m2, 0.5 g/m2, ... | 2010 | 3768642 |
| alterations in immunoregulatory t-cell subsets in cigarette smokers. a phenotypic analysis of bronchoalveolar and blood lymphocytes. | abnormalities in the proportions of immunoregulatory t-lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid have been reported in interstitial pulmonary diseases, yet the effect of cigarette smoking on t-cell subsets in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from normal subjects has not been investigated. we applied an immunoperoxidase technique performed on glass slides using the monoclonal antibodies, okt3, okt4, okt8, okia, and leu-7 to study t-cell subsets in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood of 11 normal ... | 2010 | 2941248 |

| analyzing patient satisfaction: a multianalytic approach. | a telephone survey of 9% of first quarter discharges at the new york hospital was undertaken to identify the dimensions of a patient satisfaction questionnaire and the determinants of patient satisfaction. the questionnaire included measures of overall satisfaction with hospital services, satisfaction with ten aspects of service, and patient expectations. relatively high inter-item correlations indicate that the questionnaire can be shortened and the same overall dimensions measured. a longer qu ... | 2010 | 3108744 |

| relationships between adenosine, cyclic nucleotides, and xanthines in asthma. | methylxanthines have been used for the treatment of asthma for more than 60 years, but their mechanism of action is poorly understood. their ability to inhibit cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase has attracted much attention. however, this is clearly demonstrable only in high doses and is more likely to be related to toxicity. an alternative mechanism is antagonism of adenosine receptors in the lung. adenosine has been shown to be released in asthma and cause bronchoconstriction in ... | 2010 | 3021833 |
| mitochondrial protein import: involvement of the mature part of a cleavable precursor protein in the binding to receptor sites. | the precursor of f0-atpase subunit 9 was bound to mitochondria in the absence of a mitochondrial membrane potential (delta psi). binding was mediated by a protease-sensitive component on the mitochondrial surface. when delta psi was reestablished, bound precursor was directly imported without prior release from the mitochondrial membranes. a chimaeric protein consisting of the complete subunit 9 precursor fused to cytosolic dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr) was also specifically bound to mitochondr ... | 2010 | 2892669 |

| age-dependent changes in murine protein kinase and protease enzymes. | hormone responsiveness is mediated by signal transduction mechanisms involving second messengers, such as camp and ca2+, which regulate reversible changes in the phosphorylation state of proteins. during senescence individuals frequently exhibit a diminished responsiveness to hormones. we examined changes in enzymes involved in protein phosphorylation reactions that might account for this decreased adaptiveness in old mice, and observed the following post-maturational changes: (1) camp-dependent ... | 2010 | 2852280 |
| expression of t cell receptor gamma-chain in murine cytotoxic t cells: analysis of a highly transcribed nonrearranged gene cluster. | the murine t cell receptor gamma-gene family is organized in 4 gene clusters which encode variable, joining and constant gene segments. because the function of the gamma-gene products is still unclear, there is great interest in functional rearrangements of these genes. we searched for new variable gamma-gene segments in the gamma 4-gene cluster. the mapping and sequencing of a supposed new variable segment of a functionally spliced transcript from a cdna library of the cytotoxic t cell clone 3f ... | 2010 | 2849571 |
