a cell adhesion molecule, icam-1, is the major surface receptor for rhinoviruses.rhinoviruses, which cause common colds, possess over 100 serotypes, 90% of which (the major group) share a single receptor. lymphocyte function associated molecule 1 (lfa-1) mediates leukocyte adhesion to a wide variety of cell types by binding to intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (icam-1). we demonstrate identity between the receptor for the major group of rhinoviruses and icam-1. a major group rhinovirus binds specifically to purified icam-1 and to icam-1 expressed on transfected cos cells, an ...19572538244
[influence of static flow (creep) on amalgam hardness. effect of alloys and measured areas].the authors studied the creep of 5 amalgam alloys (1 conventional and 4 with high cooper) by the application os static load of 36 mpa in 478 mm specimens, 7 days old. after creep test, the samples were included in acrylic resin and vickers hardness determined by three penetrations for each portion (cervical, medium and occlusal). samples not submitted to the creep test was used with control. they concluded that no statistic difference was found in creep test but in vickers test all the studied m ...19582218050
the premorbid personality of patients with different subtypes of an affective illness. statistical analysis of blind assignment of case history data to clinical diagnoses.on the basis of case history data, the assumption that there exists an association between the 'manic type' of personality and a predominantly manic course of an affective illness, and between the 'melancholic type' of personality and a unipolar depressive course of the illness was examined. premorbid data were extracted from 42 case records, 10 of 'unipolar' manic subjects (the ratio of manic to depressive episodes greater than or equal to 4:1), 11 of typical bipolar i patients, 11 of bipolar i ...19582136868
biochemical localization of pancreatico-enteric endocrine tumours.biochemical localization of pancreatico-enteric tumours has been proven useful, but the technique applied must be executed with great care. in this paper we present problems and some methodological demands for highly selective catheterizations within the portal system. phlebography confirming the venous anatomy and exact position of the tip of the catheter during the bloodsampling is mandatory. reasons for false positive and false negative investigations are discussed in order to facilitate the ...1958290032

failure of rivalry at low contrast: evidence of a suprathreshold binocular summation process.presentation of different images to the two eyes normally results in a time-varying alternation between the two images (binocular rivalry). however, we find that when orthogonal gratings are viewed dichoptically at low contrast, a stable summation between the two images is perceived in the form of a dichoptic plaid. the range of perception of the dichoptic plaid depends on spatial frequency, contrast and luminance of the gratings. this phenomenon differs from the "false fusion", a fleeting summa ...19711455720

preliminary observations concerning treatment of visual discomfort and associated perceptual distortion.a system for therapeutic precision tinting is described. some individuals who are subject to perceptual distortion of text no longer perceive the distortion when the text has a particular colour. a simple colorimeter enables an observer to illuminate text with light of a particular chromaticity, varying first cie 1976 hue angle (huv), then saturation (suv), and then luminance, to obtain a setting that maximizes visual comfort and reduces any perceptual distortion. the colorimeter setting is then ...19721408185
two methods for calculating regional cerebral blood flow from emission computed tomography of inert gas concentrations.two methods are described for calculation of regional cerebral blood flow from completed tomographic data of radioactive inert gas distribution in a slice of brain tissue. it is assumed that the tomographic picture gives the average inert gas concentration in each pixel over data collection periods of 30 to 60 sec. in the early picture method a single picture taken during maximum inert gas concentration (by intaarterial injection or by inhalation) is analyzed. in the sequence of pictures method ...1973422795
dimensionality of the repression sensitization scale.study of the internal structure of the r-s scale failed to support a finding of unidimensionality or bipolarity, as theory suggests. a factor analysis of the item matrix revealed a poorly defined multifactor structure that contained five relatively weak unipolar factors (n = 200). guttman's reproducibility and the kuder-richardson coefficient adjusted for test length similarly failed to support the presence of a unifactor structure. the relatively high coefficient of dimensionality was rejected ...1973422735
