alpha-fetoprotein as a carrier protein in plasma and its bilirubin-binding ability.the bilirubin-binding ability of human alpha-fetoproteins, which were purified from fetal cord serum and from ascites fluid of a hepatoma-bearing patient, was examined by the difference spectrum and the jacobsen peroxidase methods. the difference spectrum observed as a result of the specific binding of bilirubin to alpha-fetoprotein had a maximum at 482 nm, and this pattern was quite similar to that observed for serum albumin. the result obtained by the difference spectrum method showed that 1 m ...197989900
transcription and translation in a pleiotropic streptomycin-resistant mutant of escherichia coli.the role of the ribosomal protein s12 (streptomycin protein) in ribosome function and in other metabolic processes in the cell has been investigated. a spontaneous streptomycin-resistant strain of escherichia coli (sm3) carrying a mutation in the rpsl gene is deficient in its ability to induce the synthesis of the enzyme bets-galactosidase. it was demonstrated that the reduced rate of enzyme synthesis results from deficiencies in both the transcription of the lactose operon and translation of th ...1979104958
functional heterogeneity of intestinal escherichia coli strains expressing type 1 somatic pili (fimbriae): assessment of bacterial adherence to intestinal membranes and surface hydrophobicity.although the role of host-specific, nonmannose-sensitive pilus adhesins in the intestinal adherence of pathogenic escherichia coli is well established, a similar role for mannose-sensitive type 1 or common pili is less clear, since these structures can be expressed by most e. coli, even nonpathogens. we first examined whether type 1 pili, expressed by the rabbit-effacing, adherent, enteropathogenic e. coli strain rdec-1, mediated interactions with intestinal membranes of several species and comp ...19852863216
phase shift of daily profiles of n-acetyltransferase in the rat pineal gland.pineal n-acetyltransferase activity (nat) has a circadian rhythm with peak values in the dark time and low values in the light time. nat time profiles were measured in rats exposed to ld 14:10, to constant dark, and to acute (less than 48 hr) light-dark treatments. in all experiments, imposition of light suppressed nat. the phase of the dark time nat cycle was altered 2 hr or less by the following treatments: 3 hr light in the early subjective night, 3 hr light in the late subjective night, 2 hr ...19853831309
protein loss of bovine dental enamel during in-vitro subsurface demineralization.a chemical system based on the dialysis principle was used to study protein loss of dental enamel during demineralization with an acetic-acid buffer solution containing calcium and phosphate, in which the fluoride-ion activity was kept constant. this resulted in a subsurface lesion, with a depth of about 130 microns. after demineralization, protein material was isolated from the demineralization solution. u.v. spectra of the protein showed strong absorbance between 240 and 300 nm. amino-acid com ...19853865639

spinal and supraspinal mechanisms for morphine-pentobarbital antinociceptive interaction in relation to cardiac acceleration response in rats.in rat experiments, morphine-pentobarbital antinociceptive interaction affecting cardiac acceleration in response to somatic noxious stimulation was analyzed with the use of intrathecal and intracerebroventricular injections of morphine. cardiac acceleration response was induced by tail compression, and heart rate was monitored by electrocardiogram. pentobarbital, in a subanesthetic intravenous dose, antagonized the antinociceptive effect of morphine in relation to cardiac acceleration response ...19863754702
response of dogs to challenge with ancylostoma ceylanicum during the tenure of a primary hookworm infection.a model of human hookworm infection has been developed which shows that dogs currently infected with small numbers of hookworms are considerably resistant to a challenge infection with a large inoculum of infective larvae. two groups of dogs were infected with 500 larvae and four weeks after infection one group together with a previously uninfected control group were infected with 5,000 larvae and followed for six weeks. when compared with the secondary infection control dogs, faecal egg excreti ...19863798534
pretranslational and posttranslational mechanisms for regulating beta-endorphin-adrenocorticotropin of the anterior pituitary lobe.stress-induced activation of secretion of acth and beta-endorphin (beta-end) from anterior lobe corticotrophs leads to both short term and longer term perturbation of the system. immediately following an acute stress session, the rate of translation of the acth/beta-end precursor proopiomelanocortin appears accelerated by 50% and the rate of conversion of the precursor into products is doubled. these changes appear to take place at the translational and posttranslational level and reflect a bett ...19863019643

[non-tuberculous infections of the spine].non tuberculous spondylodiscitis of the rachis is an uncommon entity that affects boys and male adults with greater frequency. the zone with higher incidence of affection is the lumbar region. usually the causal germ travels through the hematogenous via from an extrarachidial infectious area. clinical manifestations begin with an acute segmentary rachialgia and paravertebral muscular contracture while presenting fever. in special cases of little boys or when having radiated pain, the presenting ...19873333891
calmodulin in porcine malignant hyperpyrexia.the anaesthetic complication malignant hyperpyrexia (mh) is due to an elevation of the myoplasmic ca2+ concentration. examination of calmodulin isolated from mh susceptible swine suggests that the disorder in calcium regulation in mh is not due to an abnormality in calmodulin.19873032704
specificity of membrane complement receptor type three (cr3) for beta-glucans.the binding of the ic3b receptor (cr3) to unopsonized zymosan was shown to result from cr3 attachment to cell wall beta-glucans. a specificity of neutrophil responses for beta-glucan was first suggested by a comparison of yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae) cell wall components for stimulation of a neutrophil superoxide burst. neutrophils responded poorly to heat-killed yeast, but gave increasingly better responses to cell wall polysaccharides devoid of proteins (zymosan) and nearly pure beta-gluca ...19873040332
effect of catecholamine on aldosterone release in isolated rat glomerulosa cell suspensions.effect of adrenergic activity on the adrenal steroidogenesis and the modulation by catecholamines of aldosterone release were studied in isolated rat adrenal cell suspensions. isoproterenol, norepinephrine and epinephrine, but not dopamine, caused statistically significant increase in aldosterone release. both prazosin (alpha 1 antagonist) and yohimbine (alpha 2 antagonist) suppressed the norepinephrine-induced aldosterone release in a dose dependent manner, respectively. both atenolol (beta 1 a ...19872884548
dexamethasone pre-treatment is antipyretic toward polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid, lipopolysaccharide and interleukin 1/endogenous pyrogen.the effect of intravenously injected dexamethasone on the febrile response of rabbits to polyinosinic: polycytidylic acid (poly i:c), lipopolysaccharide (lps) and interleukin 1/endogenous pyrogen (il1/e.p.) was studied. dexamethasone (1 mg/kg) attenuated the febrile response to poly i:c (5 micrograms/kg) but only if administered between 0.5 to 2 h before poly i:c. if it was given after poly i:c this resulted in a potentiation of the fever. antagonism of the febrile response to poly i:c by dexame ...19873495738
interaction between bambuterol and physostigmine: aspects on cholinesterase inhibition and neuromuscular transmission in the smooth and skeletal muscles of the guinea-pig.bambuterol, the bis-dimethyl carbamate prodrug of terbutaline, and physostigmine were examined with respect to their ability to interfere with the neuromuscular transmission in an isolated vagus nerve-trachea preparation, a phrenic nerve-diaphragm preparation and the transmurally stimulated extensor digotorum longus (edl) isolated from the guinea-pig. physostigmine increased the contractile response of the trachea to stimulation of the vagus nerve. bambuterol had an opposite effect in this respe ...19882848230

oligonucleotide probe for the visualization of escherichia coli/escherichia fergusonii cells by in situ hybridization: specificity and potential applications.there are several occasions when enumeration of escherichia coli cells is needed. these include examination of urine specimens and water or food samples. present methods rely on growth in more or less selective media (colony-forming units on agar or the most probable number method using liquid media). unfortunately, no really selective medium with 100% efficiency of plating is available for e. coli. a 24-mer oligonucleotide probe (colinsitu), complementary to a piece of 16s ribosomal ribonucleic ...200011037130
correction of fallot's tetralogy after palliative operations.during the period 1960 to 1978, 98 patients underwent intracardiac repair of fallot's tetralogy after palliative operations. preoperative symptoms were cyanosis, dyspnea, increased fatigue with squatting and hypoxic spells. the hemoglobin concentration varied from 19 to 22 g/100 ml. at correction only 65 of 95 shunts were patent and needed surgical closure. seventeen early deaths occurred (19%), the main causes being cardiac failure and arrhythmia. one patient died 3 years after correction from ...200087399
biogenic amines produced by enterobacteriaceae isolated from meat products.biogenic amines in ground meat and processed meat products are one of the indicators to determine the poor quality raw material. major histamine forming bacterium was escherichia coli (strain ec04 with 65.88 mg/100 ml in brain heart infusion medium), followed by the microorganisms morganella morganii (strain mm4 with 8.40 mg/100 ml and strain mm7 with 8.28 mg/100 ml) and proteus mirabilis (strain pm02 with 8.76 mg/100 ml), respectively. the highest putrescine production level was found in citrob ...200122062111

colicins produced by the escherichia fergusonii strains closely resemble colicins encoded by escherichia coli.plasmid dna of six escherichia fergusonii colicinogenic strains (three producers of colicin e1, two of ib and one of ia) was isolated and the colicin-encoding regions of the corresponding col plasmids were sequenced. two new variants of colicin e1, one of colicin ib, and one of colicin ia were identified as well as new variants of the colicin e1 and colicin ib immunity proteins and the colicin e1 lysis polypeptide. the recombinant escherichia coli producer harboring pcole1 from e. fergusonii str ...200211959446
cloning and sequencing of the beta-lactamase gene and surrounding dna sequences of citrobacter braakii, citrobacter murliniae, citrobacter werkmanii, escherichia fergusonii and enterobacter cancerogenus.to further identify the origins of plasmid-mediated cephalosporinases that are currently spreading worldwide, the chromosomal beta-lactamase genes of citrobacter braakii, citrobacter murliniae, citrobacter werkmanii reference strains and of escherichia fergusonii and enterobacter cancerogenus clinical isolates were cloned and expressed into escherichia coli and sequenced. these beta-lactamases had all a single pi value >8 and conferred a typical ampc-type resistance pattern in e. coli recombinan ...200212393205
the escherichia fergusonii iucabcd iuta genes are located within a larger chromosomal region similar to pathogenicity islands.three strains of escherichia fergusonii (ef873, ef1496, ef939) of 50 strains tested produced the hydroxamate siderophore aerobactin. screening of a cosmid library of the strain ef873 chromosomal dna (in aerobactin nonproducing escherichia coli vcs257) for aerobactin production identified iucabcd and iuta gene orthologues. the predicted iucabcd and iuta proteins showed 59-65% identity to the corresponding proteins of shigella flexneri and e. coli. aerobactin molecules synthesized by e. fergusonii ...200312800494
resection of a massive arteriovenous malformation of the head and neck.we report a patient with a massive arteriovenous malformation of the head and neck treated by surgical extirpation of the lesion. arteriography, hypotensive hypothermic anesthesia, and the intraoperative use of the doppler flowmeter were most helpful in this case.2003154679
