antimutagenic and anticarcinogenic effects of betel leaf extract against the tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(n-nitrosomethylamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (nnk). | earlier studies showed that betel leaf inhibits the mutagenic action of standard mutagens like benzo[a]pyrene and dimethylbenz[a]anthracene. since tobacco-specific nitrosamines are the major carcinogens present in unburnt forms of tobacco, we studied the effect of an extract of betel leaf on the mutagenic and carcinogenic actions of one of the most potent, 4-(n-nitrosomethylamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (nnk). betel-leaf extract and hydroxychavicol suppressed the mutagenicity of nnk in both th ... | 1991 | 1855909 |

current state and tendencies of antibiotic resistance in hungary. | this survey is based on data for 245 903 isolates reported by public health network laboratories in 1983. facultatively pathogenic gram-negative bacteria comprised two-third of the isolates, and--except escherichia coli--were resistant in a high percent to the most frequently used antibiotics. oxacillin and vancomycin were the most effective against staphylococcus aureus being in 94.7% resistant to penicillin. in contrast to other streptococci, all streptococcus pyogenes strains were sensitive t ... | 1986 | 3811828 |
preservation of "peripheral" benzodiazepine receptors: differential effects of freezing on [3h]ro 5-4864 and [3h]pk 11195 binding. | the equilibrium binding constants of [3h]ro 5-4864 (a "peripheral" benzodiazepine receptor ligand) to renal membranes preserved by various freezing techniques were investigated. the bmax for [3h]ro 5-4864 binding to membranes from kidneys preserved as unwashed homogenates stored at -80, -20, or 5 degrees c, whole kidneys stores at -20 or 5 degrees c or as washed homogenate stored at -20 degrees c was significantly decreased (approximately 35%). only when kidneys were frozen intact (using a dry-i ... | 1987 | 3035290 |
[comparative study of lipoteichoic acid from streptococcus pyogenes type 29 isolated by different methods]. | a comparative study of lipoteichoic acid preparations extracted from streptococcus pyogenes with cold and hot phenol and trichloracetic acid was made. the most delicate way for isolation of lipoteichoic acid from the given microorganisms is cold phenol extraction. | 1985 | 3911202 |
nadph/nadh-dependent cold-labile glutamate dehydrogenase in azospirillum brasilense. purification and properties. | a cold-labile glutamate dehydrogenase (gdh, ec 1.4.1.3) has been purified to homogeneity from the crude extracts of azospirillum brasilense. the purified enzyme shows a dual coenzyme specificity, and both the nadph and nadh-dependent activities are equally cold-sensitive. the enzyme is highly specific for the substrates 2-oxoglutarate and glutamate. kinetic studies with gdh indicate that the enzyme is primarily designed to catalyse the reductive amination of 2-oxoglutarate. the nadp+-linked acti ... | 1986 | 3956501 |
mitomycin c-induced bidirectional transcription from the colicin e1 promoter region in plasmid cole1. | treatment of a colicinogenic culture with mitomycin c induces convergent transcription from two adjacent promoters at the beginning of the colicin e1 gene. s1-mapping and primer extension assays indicate that the mitomycin c-inducible transcripts correspond to colicin e1 mrna (cea mrna) and to a transcript, designated rna-c, that may code for an entry exclusion function. nucleotide sequences that strongly resemble a consensus sequence for lexa protein binding sites span the transcription start p ... | 1986 | 3092859 |
retinal toxicity of combination antiviral drugs in an animal model. | we investigated the retinal toxicity of various combinations of four antiviral agents in intravitreal injection and vitrectomy infusion solutions in the rabbit. the nontoxic concentration of each individual agent for intravitreal injection and for vitrectomy infusion has previously been described. our results support the concept that concentrations of 200 micrograms/0.1 ml of trifluridine, 400 micrograms/0.1 ml of hydroxyacyclovir, 200 micrograms/0.1 ml of acyclovir and 30 micrograms/0.1 ml of v ... | 1987 | 3123041 |
audiological development in south-east asia. thailand health profile. | the otological centre:bangkok unit has been established since march 13, 1985 on the initiation of isa and ifos as one of the planned three centres for each continent of the world. bangkok centre serves the asian countries on the global programme on prevention of hearing impairment and deafness. it was the first of the planned three centres to be established and operative. the centre has already run annual training courses to upgrade oto-audiological knowledge of ent doctors and personnel engaged ... | 1988 | 3187388 |
effects of corn oil- and fish oil-supplemented diets on phospholipid fatty acid composition of rat liver nuclei. | the effects of dietary fat on fatty acid compositions of phospholipids in liver nuclei were investigated. by feeding a diet containing 5% corn oil or fish oil to rats, the proportions of n -6 or n -3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa), respectively, were increased in phospholipids of the liver nuclei. by feeding a fat-free diet, endogenous pufa were increased. even after feeding the fat-free diet for 40 weeks, the n - 6 still remained at about 10% in both phosphatidylcholine (pc) and phosphatidy ... | 1988 | 3196728 |
