[phosphofructokinase activity of the plague bacterium].synthesis of phosphofructokinase was decreased in pestilential microbe if cultivation temperature was increased from 28 degrees to 37 degrees. aeration of cultural fluid effected slightly on the enzyme production. glucose, added to cultural fluid, decreased synthesis of phosphofructokinase in virulent strain and increased it in avirulent one. phosphofructokinase activity from pestilential microbe was inhibited by atp, citrate, 3-phosphoglycerate, by ca2+ and mn2+. amp and lesser adp reduced the ...1978149424
electrocardiographic signs of chronic cor pulmonale in 40 376 patients with silicosis.the records of all patients who were examined for silicosis at the fund of occupational diseases between 1972 and 1976 are reviewed. in 3627 cases the mechanographical record was incomplete leaving 40 376 patients in the study. electrocardiographic signs of chronic cor pulmonale (c.c.p.) were detected in 5.58 per cent. the severity of c.c.p. was evaluated and the prevalence of the different electrocardiographic signs was examined. the presence and severity of c.c.p. was compared to the radiologi ...1978152045
inhibition of four human serine proteases by substituted benzamidines.a series of substituted benzamidines has been examined for their inhibitory activity against the human serine proteases--trypsin, thrombin, plasmin, and c1s, a subunit of the first component of complement. the inhibition constants obtained for each enzyme were correlated with physical-chemical properties of the substituent group using the quantitative structure-activity relationship approach. this analysis indicated that plasmin and c1s are very similar in their interactions with substituted ben ...1978152812
disseminated herpesvirus infection. association with primary genital herpes in pregnancy.a patient with primary herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 2 genital infection had dissemination in the 37th week of her first pregnancy. this was manifested by severe hepatitis, pancreatitis, and genital lesions. temporary improvement followed the delivery of a healthy infant by cesarean section. encephalitis became evident on the third postpartum day, and recovery was complicated by profound bradycardia, possibly due to viral myocarditis. vidarabine was administered for seven days, and the patient ...1976178938

comparison of interferon action in interferon resistant and sensitive l1210 cells.translation inhibition, leu-trna aminoacylation and double-stranded rna and atp dependent phosphorylation were examined in interferon-treated and control cell-free lysates of leukaemic mouse l 1210 r and l 1210 s cells. no differences were observed between the respective interferon-treated and control cell-free extracts, except for the presence of an enhanced 67k dalton phosphoprotein fraction in interferon-treated l 1210 s cell-free extracts. in non-responding cell-free lysates, the lack of sti ...1978212514
[blood transfusion and viral diseases. recent acquisitions concerning viral hepatitis viruses, cytomegaloviruses and epstein-barr virus].in recent years, an increasingly clear picture has been formed of the virus-induced syndromes that may follow a blood transfusion or the use of blood derivatives. up to about 10 years ago, post-infusion infection was predominantly due to serum hepatitis. blumberg's discovery of hbsag (formerly known as australia antigen) has made it possible to check and prevent viral hepatitis, type b, and to recognise such distinct forms as the mononucleosis-like syndrome caused by cytomegalic virus, infectiou ...1979219399

troponoids. 3. synthesis and antiallergy activity of n-troponyloxamic acid esters.a number of oxamic acid derivatives of tropones and tropolones were synthesized and their antianaphylactic activity was determined in passive paw anaphylaxis (ppa). several of these esters possessed oral activity. a comparison of the effect on the biological activity of the esters and the corresponding acid and its salt is reported. the experiments suggesting a relationship between the activity and the bioavailability of the ester 19 are also described. a study of the fate of ester 19 in serum o ...1979229222
[enzymomorphology of the vaccinal process in connection with formation of immunity to plague].the studies conducted showed that the beginning of immunogenesis following the administration of live plague vaccine was preceded by a period of primary toxic action of multiplying microbes when the activity of a number of enzymes in the organs of guinea-pigs was temporarily reduced. subsequently, inductive and productive phases of formation of antibodies started against the background of normalization and growth of the enzymatic activity associated with mobilization of energy. the earliest hype ...1976194554

primary culture of adult rat liver cells. i. preparation of isolated cells from trypsin-perfused liver of adult rat.isolated hepatic cells from adult rats were prepared by perfusing the livers with trypsin. the highest yield of viable cells was obtained by perfusing the liver with 0.1% trypsin, ph 7.0, at 37 degrees c for 30 min. following this treatment about 70% of cells excluded trypan blue. the isolated cells contained many binucleate cells. between 60 and 70% of dna present originally in the liver was recovered from the isolated hepatic cells, which had higher glucose 6-phosphatase activity than the live ...1977205092
studies of the human testis. xi. leydig cell clusters and levels of intratesticular testosterone and 20 alpha-dihydroprogesterone.testosterone concentration in testes of 23 men, ages 51 to 90, was determined as 490 +/- 172 ng/g tissue (m +/- s.d.) and 20 alpha-dihydroprogesterone concentration as 10.0 +/- 2.3 ng/g tissue (m +/- s.d.) in 18 men of the same patient group. leydig cells were estimated by the number of leydig cell clusters per tubule. there was a high correlation (r = 0.88, p less than .001) of the leydig cell index with intratesticular testosterone. it is proposed that the leydig cell cluster index provides a ...1978263345

differential effects of isolated lipoproteins from normal and hypercholesterolemic rhesus monkeys on cholesterol esterification and accumulation in arterial smooth muscle cells in culture.whole serum obtained from hypercholesterolemic rhesus monkeys was found to stimulate cholesterol esterification and cholesteryl ester accumulation in rhesus monkey arterial smooth muscle cells in culture to a significantly greater extent than normocholesterolemic serum. this was true even when the cholesterol concentration of the culture medium was equalized. isolation and characterzation of the low density lipoproteins (ldl) from rhesus monkeys indicated that the ldl from hypercholesterolemic a ...1978208631
kinetic studies on the reactions catalyzed by chorismate mutase-prephenate dehydrogenase from aerobacter aerogenes.steady-state kinetic techniques have been used to investigate each of the reactions catalyzed by the bifunctional enzyme, chorismate mutase-prephenate dehydrogenase, from aerobacter aerogenes. the results of steady-state velocity studies in the absence of products, as well as product and dead-end inhibition studies, suggest that the prephenate dehydrogenase reaction conforms to a rapid equilibrium random mechanism which involes the formation of two dead-end complexes, viz, enzyme-nadh-prephenate ...1978206281
beta-adrenergic blocking activity of yersinia pestis murine toxin.yersinia pestis plague murine toxin has been found to inhibit the mobilization of free fatty acids in mice in a manner similar to that of beta-adrenergic blocking agents. the blockage is detectable 75 min after injection of the toxin (1 to 2 mean lethal doses). the degree of inhibition was directly correlated with the toxicity of a given toxin preparation. agents such as cholera toxin or glucagon, with apparently distinct receptors from beta-adrenergic receptors, stimulated adenylate cyclase and ...1977198377

light and electron microscopic features of a pituitary adenoma in nelson's syndrome.electron microscopy of an amphophil pituitary adenoma surgically removed from a 51-year-old woman who had nelson's syndrome revealed that the tumor was composed of melanocorticotroph cells. this finding is consistent with the view that in the human pituitary gland one single cell type produces both adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) and melanocyte-stimulating hormone (msh). in contrast to the ultrastructure of pituitary adenomas associated with cushing's syndrome, no or only very few microfilame ...1976176883
investigations on adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase in ram semen and initial characterization of a sperm-specific isoenzyme.phosphodiesterase is shown to occur in ram semen, and its activity to be higher in spermatozoa than in seminal plasma. using similar substrate levels, the rate at which adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic amp) is metabolized by phosphodiesterase in spermatozoa is about 100 times higher than that of cyclic amp synthesis by adenylate cyclase. in spermatozoa, phosphodiesterase is present partly in a soluble form, and partly bound; both forms can be extracted by sonication. the soluble enzyme (ph ...1976178869

alterations in the expression of the cytomegalovirus-induced cytopathogenic effect in fibroblasts by aflatoxin b1.aflatoxin b1 has been shown both to promote and to alter the expression of the cytopathogenic effect observed when human fibroblasts are challenged with human cytomegalovirus (cmv). although the cells become round, as is the characteristic effect of this virus on fibroblasts, multinucleate cells are seen to arise from cell fusion within 48 h after virus addition.1978218602
[the possibility of predicting the degree of plasmacyte reaction in response to administration of soluble antigen to mice].the work is devoted to the mathematical description of the accumulation of plasma cells in the spleen of cba mice immunized intraperitoneally. a dependence between the dynamics of the soluble antigen concentration in the blood and the plasmocytic reaction in the spleen was confirmed under experimental conditions. index a was suggested for detection of a change from the antigenic function to the accumulation of plasma cells. the mean values of index a were used to compare the calculated values of ...1975235822

influence of hyperglycemia on survival after hemorrhagic shock.terms such as "insulin resistance" and "glucose intolerance" applied to shock-induced hyperglycemia suggest that this state may prejudice survival. however, our data indicate that posthemorrhage hyperglycemia improves short-term survival. rabbits, either fed until the experiment or fasted for 24 hours, were shocked by rapid removal of 25% of their blood volume (bv) measured by 131ihsa. during the next 60 minutes, blood pressure (bp) was recorded, and the following variables were measured every 1 ...1978262089
conservation of transfer ribonucleic acid and 5s ribonucleic acid cistrons in enterobacteriaceae.the genes for tranfer ribonucleic acid (tdna) and 5s ribonucleic acid (5sdna) were isolated from the total deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) of escherichia coli. the relatedness of tdna and 5s from e. coli and other species of enterobacteriaceae was determined by reassociation of the isolated genes labeled with 32po4 to unlabeled, unfractionated dna. double-stranded dna was separated from unreacted dna by hydroxyapatite chromatography. thermal elution profiles were done to determine the amount of unpa ...1977321428

acid precipitation of clostridium botulinum type c and d toxins from whole culture by addition of ribonucleic acid as a precipitation aid.the ratios of ribonucleic acid to protein contents of clostridium botulinum type c, d, and e cultures were lower than those of type a, b, and f cultures. addition of ribonucleic acid at 0.4 mg/ml to culture satisfactorily aided acid precipitation of type c and d toxins, but not that of type e toxin.1978344224
eosinophil chemotactic factor (ecf). iii. generation in human peripheral leukocytes.eosinophil chemotactic factor (ecf) can be released from human peripheral leukocytes by an ige-anti-ige reaction, by the calcium ionophore a 23187 and during phagocytosis. supernatants and sonicates of unstimulated cells contain little or no ecf. on stimulation, however, ecf activity increases in the cells and even more so in the supernatants. this holds for purified neutrophils (pmns) as well as for basophil-containing mononuclear cell preparations. these findings contrast with those in lung ho ...1978344230
production and traffic of b lymphocytes in the extracortical central area of the guinea pig thymus.lymphocytes in the stroma and lymphatics of the extra-cortical central area (ecca) of the guinea pig thymus have been studied with light microscopy, quantitative microscopy, colchicin-induced mitotic arrest, ea (igg) and ea (igm) c adherence, surface immunoglobulins (ig total, igm, igg), alkaline phosphatase activity and the effect of cyclophosphamide administration. the results suggest, that ap-positive, sig-positive eac-negative lymphocytes in the ecca proliferate and maturate into ap-negative ...1978344232

cellular immune response to yersinia pestis modulated by product(s) from thymus-derived lymphocytes.resistance to infection with yersinia pestis was found to depend on whether the macrophage can inactivate and withstand the cytotoxic effects of phagocytized y. pestis. serum from mice immunized with antigens of y. pestis enhanced the resistance of monolayers of normal cultures to the cytotoxic effects of y. pestis and increased the capacity of peritoneal exudate cells from immune mice to inactivate these bacteria. the enhancing component of the serum was not removed by absorption with heat-kill ...1977299867
experimental gingivitis in odu plaque-susceptible rats. iii. toxic activity of the rat dental plaque.the toxicity tests of the dental plaque from odu plaque-susceptible rats showed strong lethal effect on mice, and abscess forming effect on guinea-pigs. bacterial cells isolated from the rat dental plaque also showed strong toxicity on both animals and capillary permeable activity on rabbits. among these bacterial cells, corynebacterium showed the strongest toxic effects on these animals. these facts suggested an important role of the dental plaque on initiation and development of gingivitis and ...1979289757
[ring of the chromosome 4. ii. without facial dysmorphism].a r(4) was observed in a 5-year-old female patient, with growth retardation, a near normal psychomotor development and with no major dysmorphism. the break points were in p16 and q33. after comparison with other known observations of r(4) it is suggested that the phenotype of monosomy 4p is due to monosomy for the distal band 4p16.1977302682
partial tetrasomy 9(9pter to 9q2101) due to an extra iso-dicentric chromosome.a 3-year-old boy with partial no. 9 tetrasomy is described. the patient showed markedly retarded physical and mental development as well as multiple congenital anomalies. routine chromosome analysis revealed an extra c-group chromosome. it had a pronounced secondary constriction at the proximal part of its long arm. based on studies by a variety of banding techniques, the extra chromosome was identified to be an iso-dicentric no. 9 chromosome with inactivation of one of the two centromeres, the ...1977302683
erythrocyte autoantibodies induced in mice immunized with rat antigens.antibody reacting against syngeneic mouse erythrocytes could not be elicited (by rat erythrocytes) in athymic nude mice. rat antigen preparations from heart, muscle testes, brain erythrocyte ghosts and foetal material failed to elicit detectable autoantibody reactivity against mouse erythrocytes, even though all these preparations (other than brain and foetal) induced a reduction in half life of syngeneic murine erythrocytes in vivo. we suggest that an unstable rat erythrocyte antigen is respons ...1977303095
