| hemolysins of edwardsiella tarda. | isolates of edwardsiella tarda from four sources produced nonfilterable hemolsin in trypticase soy broth. the cell-associated hemolysin was partially heat labile, destroyed by formalin and sensitive to treatment with trypsin. these characteristics, and the observation that ca++ or mg++ ions enhanced activity, suggest that a proteinaceous, enzymic component may be responsible for the hemolytic activity. | 1979 | 34473 |

| effect of urapidil on the performance of ischaemic myocardium in anaesthetized dogs. | the effect of urapidil on the ischaemic myocardium was studied in eight anaesthetized dogs. stenosis of the left descending coronary artery reduced blood flow and systolic contraction of the post-stenotic myocardium by about 50%; the end-diastolic length of the post-stenotic myocardium and the end-diastolic pressure increased, while aortic pressure slightly decreased. subsequent administration of urapidil (0.25 + 0.25 + 0.5 + 1.0 mg/kg intravenously) did not affect the systolic shortening and en ... | 1989 | 2576670 |

| dexamethasone regulation of the expression of cytokine mrnas induced by interleukin-1 in the astrocytoma cell line u373mg. | bsf-2/il-6, gm-csf and il-1 beta mrnas were induced by recombinant il-1 in human astrocytoma cell line u373mg. the induction of bsf-2/il-6 and il-1 beta mrnas did not require de novo protein synthesis while that of gm-csf mrna required a newly synthesized protein. dexamethasone inhibited the induction of these cytokine mrnas by il-1. this process seems to require continued protein synthesis. these results suggest that the production of these cytokines are positively and negatively controlled by ... | 1989 | 2646146 |
