[the prospects and problems of drug-induced anesthesia].the problem of pain has a major medico-social significance and necessitates detailed investigation both from the position of etiology and pathogenesis and new therapy methods. among many methods of pain control drug-induced anesthesia is of great importance. the multiplicity of pain requires optimal use of analgetics and their combination with other agents strictly in coordination with individual needs of the patient. special anesthesia systems are to be designed for this purpose.20061360730
[lipid and mineral metabolism and morbidity with temporary loss of work capacity in miners].examination is performed on 87 miners from mine for copper production subject to intensive local vibrations with average rate of increase (k) of the norms for the individual octave frequencies 2.4 times for 3 h exposure of the working shift, as well as to intensive noise--113-115 db/a equivalent level, general dust--23 mg/m3, fine dust--3.5 mg/m3 and fine quartz--0.43 mg/m3. there are data for vibration effect--changes in the cold test, vibration sensoriness, ultra sound sonometry, in all miners ...20051364539
high level expression of the humanized monoclonal antibody campath-1h in chinese hamster ovary cells.we have cloned the light and heavy chain cdnas for the humanized monoclonal antibody campath-1h and expressed them in chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells using a dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr) amplification procedure. each cdna was positioned under control of the strong human beta-actin promoter/polyadenylation signals and used to evaluate alternative vector design and amplification procedures. by employing a dual selection co-transfection strategy, initial transformants accumulated antibody level ...19911367214
influence of low-temperature storage and glucose starvation on growth recovery in escherichia coli rela and rela+ strains.to study the influence of microgravity on bacterial growth behavior during a space mission, the special experimental conditions and the hardware environment necessitate storage of cells at low temperature, and permit a relatively short experimental period. before this experimental period, cells have to recover their condition of steady-state growth, because it is only in this condition that the growth behavior of the flight and ground populations can be adequately compared. to meet these require ...19911367237
eukaryotic gene regulation: simple vs complex models.the current generally accepted model of eukaryotic gene regulation is essentially a simple one. regulatory proteins containing separable dna binding and transcriptional activation domains, bind to specific dna sequences in promotors and interact directly or indirectly with the tata box binding factor to increase the rate of transcription initiation at selected promotors. here we present observations suggesting that the process may be more complex.19911367248
effect of pluronic f-68 on the mechanical properties of mammalian cells.the mechanical properties of tb/c3 hybridoma cells taken from a continuous culture were measured by micromanipulation. the culture conditions were constant except for the presence or absence of pluronic f-68 in the medium. it was found that the mean bursting membrane tension and the mean elastic area compressibility modulus of the cells were significantly greater (60% and 120%, respectively) in a medium with 0.05% (w/v) pluronic f-68 compared to that without pluronic. pluronic f-68 therefore aff ...20051369100

termination of second messenger signaling in olfaction.by using isolated rat olfactory cilia and a fast kinetics methodology, it has been demonstrated that odorant-induced second messenger signaling in the millisecond time range is terminated via phosphorylation reactions catalyzed by specific protein kinases. the cyclic adenosine nucleotide pathway is turned off by kinase a activity, whereas the inositol trisphosphate cascade is terminated by kinase c. the data support the concept that desensitization of odorant responses involves phosphorylation o ...19921370581
myeloid and erythroid progenitor cells from normal bone marrow adhere to collagen type i.one of the mechanisms by which normal hematopoietic progenitor cells remain localized within the bone marrow microenvironment is likely to involve adhesion of these cells to extracellular matrix (ecm) proteins. for example, there is evidence that uncommitted, hla-dr-negative progenitor cells and committed erythroid precursors (bfu-e) bind to fibronectin. however, fibronectin is not known to mediate binding of committed myeloid (granulocyte-macrophage) progenitors, raising the possibility that ot ...20041370640
expression of schwann cell and peripheral t-cell activation epitopes in hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy.to evaluate possible immune-mediated mechanisms in hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (hmsn-i, charcot-marie-tooth syndrome), we examined class ii major histocompatibility complex antigen expression (mhc-ii, hla-dr) in schwann cells and peripheral lymphocyte t-cell (ta1, cd26) activation in five unrelated adults with hmsn-i. evidence of increased activation expression was found in both compartments but the pattern did not suggest a general state of hyperimmunity or appear related to clinica ...20041370667
towards a phylogeny of the genus vibrio based on 16s rrna sequences.the inter- and intrageneric relationships of the genus vibrio were investigated by performing a comparative analysis of the 16s rrnas of 10 species, including four pathogenic representatives. the results of immunological and 5s rrna studies were confirmed in that the genus is a neighboring taxon of the family enterobacteriaceae. with regard to the intrageneric structure, vibrio alginolyticus, vibrio campbellii, vibrio natriegens, vibrio harveyi, vibrio proteolyticus, vibrio parahaemolyticus, and ...19921371064
electrophoretic and chemical characterization of lipopolysaccharides of vibrio parahaemolyticus.lipopolysaccharides (lpss) isolated from three kanagawa-positive and three negative strains of vibrio parahaemolyticus were characterized by using electrophoretic, immunochemical, and chemical methods. the results of this study indicated that the lpss of all six strains of v. parahaemolyticus examined did not have an o-specific side chain. these v. parahaemolyticus lpss appeared to have molecular weights similar to that of the rough-type (ra) lps of salmonella typhimurium tv-119 and might just c ...19921374376
