| statistical analysis of epidemiological data from a chromium chemical manufacturing plant. | a statistical analysis was performed on reported bronchogenic carcinoma incidence in a group of chromium chemical manufacturing workers over the period 1929 to 1977. the purpose was to determine if post-1950 process improvements corresponded to favorable trends in morbidity. because the paucity of data on the population at risk prevented meaningful calculations of smr's, a recently developed method called "probability window analysis" was used to evaluate for statistically valid changes in the " ... | 2003 | 430272 |
| age-dependent increase in the formation of prostaglandin i2 by intact and homogenised aortae from the developing spontaneously hypertensive rat. | the prostaglandin i2 biosynthetic capacity of aortae from spontaneously hypertensive rats of various ages (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 months) was investigated. an age-dependent increase in enzyme activity was observed reaching maximum by three months of age which correlated well with the age- related increase in the systolic blood pressure. these results support our notion that the enhanced aortic synthesis of the potent vasodepressor prostaglandin i2 by the spontaneously hypertensive rat likely represen ... | 1979 | 383156 |
| management of bone in digital replantation: free vascularized and composite bone grafts. | microvascular surgical techniques have been applied to the problem of digital amputation, persistent nonunion and complicated extremity injuries with segmental bone and soft tissue loss. in replantations, adequate bone shortening and fixation with intramedullary pins or rods is mandatory. proper patient selection, preoperative management of the amputated parts, application of microsurgical disciplines, employment of an organized surgical sequence, and rigid postoperative monitoring has resulted ... | 2004 | 357062 |
| quantification of bcg-induced reactions of t and b areas in peripheral lymphoid organs of young adult balb/c mice. a histomorphometrical and autoradiographical study. | significant structural alterations of the axillary lymph nodes and spleens were revealed by histomorphometry following intraperitoneal injection of bcg into young adult balb/c mice. the relative proportions of the germinal center areas were increased in lymph nodes as well as in spleens. the overall proportion of the b cell areas, however, showed a significant increase only in the spleens, compared to a significant reduction in the lymph nodes. by contrast, t cell areas appeared significantly re ... | 1979 | 313564 |

| purification and properties of a phosphohydrolase from enterobacter aerogenes. | a phosphohydrolase from enterobacter aerogenes which hydrolyzes phosphate mono- and diesters has been purified approximately 50-fold to apparent homoeneity and crystallized. the enzyme is produced when the bacteria utilize phosphate diesters as sole phosphorus source. from sedimentation equilibrium experiments the molecular weight of the native enzyme is 173,000; from sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis the subunit molecular weight is 29,000, indicating that the enzyme is h ... | 1975 | 168197 |
| stimulation of late interphase dictyostelium discoideum amoebae with an external cyclic amp signal. | the microelectrode system described in the accompanying paper was used to investigate properties of fields of dictyostelium discoideum amoebae in late interphase. cells in the fields were competent to respond chemotactically to, and to relay, a c-amp signal, but not to produce an aggregative signal autonomously. the experimental results are generally consistent with c-amp being the sole compound required for chemotaxis and signal relaying. a periodic signal from the microelectrode can initiate a ... | 1975 | 167879 |
