| inhibition of the acute toxicity of methyl chloride in male b6c3f1 mice by glutathione depletion. | previous data have demonstrated that methyl chloride (mecl) is toxic to b6c3f1 mice under both acute and chronic exposure conditions, and that conjugation of mecl with glutathione (gsh) is a key step in the metabolism of mecl. this study examined the role of gsh in mediating the acute toxicity of mecl to liver, kidney, and brain of male b6c3f1 mice. the lethal effects of a single 6-hr inhalation exposure of b6c3f1 males to 2500 ppm mecl were completely prevented by pretreatment with the gsh synt ... | 2013 | 3764938 |
| objective evaluation of py-108-068, a new calcium channel inhibitor for the treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris. | py-108-068 (py) has calcium antagonist and coronary dilatory activity in animals, suggesting that it may be useful for the treatment of angina pectoris. we have studied its effects in 19 patients with stable exertional angina. after a 2-week single-blind placebo run-in phase, patients were randomised double-blind to either 75 mg or 150 mg of the drug (in three divided doses) daily for 2 weeks, crossing over to the alternate dose for a further 2 weeks. maximal treadmill tests with computer-assist ... | 2014 | 4054138 |
| poland's syndrome: variable expression and associated anomalies. | poland's syndrome is a well-known constellation of congenital anomalies that includes varying degrees of hypoplasia involving the thoracic cage in association with anomalies of the hand. although the latter are most frequently described as syndactyly with short or absent middle phalanges, many forms of expression were seen in a series of 20 patients. thirty-one other anomalies were seen in this group in addition to those usually considered as part of the syndrome. of special interest are those i ... | 2009 | 2852197 |

| [doppler and valvular prostheses]. | the principle of examination of prosthetic valves is not different from that of the original valves in terms of bioprosthesis. on the contrary, mechanical prosthesis are markedly opaque to ultrasounds and cause masking and non-flow phenomena behind the prosthesis, which are capable to completely hide abnormal retrograde flows, in traditional views (apical 4 cavities to demonstrate a mitral leakage). therefore, with mechanical prostheses, it is necessary to "cheat" and use atypical views which av ... | 2011 | 3223725 |
| [reconstructive plastic surgery of the humeral condyles following removal of endoprostheses of the elbow versus arthrodesis]. | the condyles of the elbow are of utmost importance for the stability of this joint. this is particularly evident in cases where elbow prostheses had to be removed because of loosening or infection and where the condyles had been deliberately resected at the primary operation. in order to obtain a functional elbow with sufficient stability and mobility after removal of the prostheses, we can reconstruct the condyles by means of a large autologous bone graft, which we take from the midpart of the ... | 2013 | 3658417 |

| external irradiation for squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule. | a retrospective analysis of 56 patients who underwent primary external irradiation for squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule between 1958 and 1983 is presented. the overall 5 year actuarial survival and cause specific survival rates were 64 and 87%, respectively. the 5-year local relapse-free rate after primary irradiation was 80%. prognostic factors which lowered the local control rate after irradiation included a primary tumor size of 2 cm or more, or involvement of the skin of the al ... | 2012 | 3771315 |
