cerebrospinal fluid-, blood-, and ascitis-catecholamines in hepatic cirrhosis.	the consideration of the extensive innervation of liver parenchyma, together with data relating to the degradation of catecholamines in the liver and the importance of hepatic vascular process in hepatic cirrhosis, prompted us to investigate the behaviour of catecholamines in this condition. the following parameters were measured in cerebrospinal fluid (csf), blood and ascitis fluid: total catecholamines, adrenaline and noradrenaline. during hepatic cirrhosis, total catecholamines level in blood ...	1998	106413
[general anesthesia and long term psychotropic treatments].	anesthesists often ask for withdrawal of psychotropic treatment a few days before surgery. usually they do not differentiate among the various classes of psychotropic drugs. some drugs, including mao inhibitors and reserpine-like agents, can induce or precipitate accidents; however, this does not occur with other types of antidepressants, neuroleptics and minor tranquilizers. the authors review the psychiatric risks related to such withdrawals; these risks are to be considered. they report that ...	1998	105865

antiviral agents: action and clinical use.	the development of antiviral agents has been hindered by a variety of problems. there are fundamental biological differences between viruses and other infectious agents. viruses are strictly dependent on cellular metabolic processes and possess very limited intrinsic enzyme systems and building blocks which may serve as targets for drugs. antiviral drugs must also possess the ability to enter the host cell. viral replication consists of a series of events, each of which can be interfered with, l ...	1979	92398

prostacyclin overproduction in bartter's syndrome.	urinary excretion of 6-keto-prostaglandin f1alpha and thromboxane b2, the major metabolites of prostacyclin and of thromboxane a2, respectively, was measured by specific radioimmunoassays in five female patients with bartter's syndrome and in five normal female controls. the patients with bartter's syndrome excreted about four times as much 6-keto-pgf1alpha as the controls; their excretion of thromboxane b2 was no different from that of the controls. these data suggest that overproduction of pro ...	2001	90861
post-menopausal oestrogens protect against fractures of hip and distal radius. a case-control study.	to assess the efficacy of oestrogens in preventing the common major limb fractures of postmenopausal women, retrospective case-control research was used for a new purpose--to explore beneficial rather than adverse effect of treatment. postmenopausal women admitted with fractures of the hip or distal radius and matched women admitted to the orthopaedic service for other reasons were surveyed. the "risk" of the non-oestrogen users, was estimated by inverting the customary odds ratio to calculate p ...	2001	90802

characterization of in vitro proliferative responses of human lymphocytes to leishmanial antigens.	leishmaniasis is an intracellular protozoal infection for which host defense is believed to depend on cellular immune mechanisms. the in vitro proliferative responses of lymphocytes from patients with leishmaniasis and from control subjects to leishmanial antigens were examined. only lymphocytes from patients responded to 1 microgram of leishmanial antigen/ml, whereas both patient and control lymphocytes responded to 10 micrograms/ml. the nonspecific responses were most likely not due to a mitog ...	1979	90105
the association of carbohydrate with tubulin and in vitro assembled microtubules from bovine brain.	phosphocellulose-purified tubulin (pc tubulin) was analyzed for neutral and amino sugar content, which was found to be 8.3 +/- 0.11 and 0.8 +/- 0.02 mol/mol dimer, respectively. a histochemical-electron-microscopic investigation was undertaken to attempt to localize carbohydrate associated with polymerized microtubules (mt). outer diameters of mt assembled in vitro from bovine brain mt protein (tubulin and microtubule associated proteins) were found to increase upon treatment with ruthenium red, ...	1979	90041
modulation of cellular interactions between c3h/10t1/2 cells and their transformed counterparts by phosphodiesterase inhibitors.	it has been demonstrated previously that nontransformed c3h/10t1/2cl8 mouse embryo fibroblasts (10t1/2) can induce a state of reversible growth inhibition in cocultured malignantly transformed mouse fibroblasts and that this inhibition is modulated by serum concentration. the present study suggests that cyclic nucleotides may be implicated in this intercellular communication. the phosphodiesterase inhibitors theophylline, caffeine, and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (ibx) at concentrations of 10(-3 ...	1979	89899

thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy.	the diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy is difficult on clinical grounds only. the determination of free thyroid hormones or free thyroid hormone indices is important and is possibly supplemented by the trh stimulation test. thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy should always be treated actively. the authors recommend subtotal thyroidectomy if there are indications for surgical therapy (nodular goitre or large diffuse goitre). otherwise treatment with thyrostatic agents is used. after operati ...	1999	84547
prenatal methylmercury poisoning. clinical observations over five years.	thirty-two infants prenatally exposed to methylmercury and their mothers were examined over a five-year period after the iraqi methylmercury epidemic. severity of poisoning in mothers was related to the peak mercury concentration in their hair and in the infants to the maximum concentration in maternal hair during pregnancy. in nine cases of cerebral palsy, methylmercury exposure occurred only during the last trimester. all infants except three (two were orphaned soon after birth and one was bot ...	1999	84530
