| histamine concentration and ca2+ mobilization in arterial smooth muscle. | smooth muscle contraction is dependent on ca2+ entry from the extracellular space or release from intracellular stores. the sensitivity of these ca2+ sources to agonist concentration was evaluated by measuring myoplasmic [ca2+] (as estimated by aequorin), myosin phosphorylation, and isometric stress in the swine carotid media. high histamine concentrations produced transient elevations in [ca2+] and phosphorylation with rapid generation of near maximal stress. lower histamine concentrations prod ... | 1989 | 2750885 |

| effect of oral chenodeoxycholic acid on bile acid kinetics and biliary lipid composition in women with cholelithiasis. | bile acid kinetics and biliary lipid composition were characterized in six women with gallstones before and after 6 mo of oral therapy with chenodeoxycholic acid, an agent that induces dissolution of cholesterol gallstones in man. over a dosage range of 1-4 g/day, absorption varied from 0.8 to 2.3 g/day. the chenodeoxycholic acid pool expanded two-to sixfold, and bile became composed predominantly (> 90%) of chenodeoxycholic acid conjugated chiefly with glycine. cholic acid and deoxycholic acid ... | 1973 | 4583981 |

| electron microscopic examination of factors influencing the expression of filamentous surface structures on clinical and environmental isolates of aeromonas veronii biotype sobria. | strains of aeromonas veronii biotype sobria isolated from clinical and environmental sources were examined for their expression of surface structures under a variety of culture conditions. when grown on solid media at 37 degrees c, more than 95% of bacteria from the majority of strains isolated from human diarrheal feces and chicken carcasses were non-piliated or expressed only a few pili of long, flexible morphology per cell. strains isolated from water or other foods were much more likely to e ... | 1995 | 7565173 |
| a specific puld homolog is required for the secretion of paracrystalline surface array subunits in aeromonas hydrophila. | aeromonas hydrophila is an important pathogen of fish, and its high-virulence strains display a two-dimensional paracrystalline layer (s-layer) on their outermost surfaces. the nucleotide sequence of a 4.1-kb region located 700 bp upstream of the a. hydrophila tf7 s-layer protein gene (ahsa) has been determined. a sequence analysis of the region revealed the presence of three complete open reading frames ending in a gene encoding a 79.8-kda polypeptide that shows high homology to the puld family ... | 1995 | 7608063 |

| aeromonas species in septicemia: laboratory characteristics and clinical observations. | we retrospectively analyzed clinical and epidemiological data on and laboratory characteristics of 53 cases of aeromonas septicemia. only four aeromonas genomospecies (species defined by dna relatedness) were associated with the 53 cases, with aeromonas hydrophila (sensu stricto) predominating (47%). nearly 60% of all aeromonas isolates from blood fell into one of four somatic groups: serogroups o:11, o:16, o:18, and o:34. unlike aeromonas-associated gastroenteritis, septicemia did not peak in f ... | 1994 | 7948561 |
| production of enterotoxin and cytotoxin by aeromonas veronii. | fourteen strains of aeromonas veronii were isolated from salt and fresh water in rio de janeiro and investigated for the presence of virulence factors. eleven (79%) a. veronii strains were positive for enterotoxin by the suckling-mouse test and thirteen (93%) produced hemolysin. of the 13 a. veronii strains that produced hemolysin, seven were investigated for cytotoxin production using vero cells as indicator cells and all of them were positive. | 1990 | 2095293 |
