chromosomal aberrations and congenital heart diseases. | the incidence of chromosomal aberration with chd is 10.5% in the autopsy cases. 2. the characteristic major cardiac malformations associated with chromosomal aberration are conal abnormality, abnormal septation and cardiac valve abnormalities. 3. the characteristic association of chromosomal aberration and chd is cavo in down syndrome, triple shunts and multivalvular disease in 18 trisomy, shunts in delition syndrome and coarctation of the aorta in turner syndrome. 4. minor cardiac anomalies ass ... | 1978 | 153412 |
protein and glycoprotein electrophoretic patterns of enriched fractions of primary and secondary granules from guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes. | the postnuclear supernatant fraction of sucrose homogenates of guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocytes (pmnl) was subjected to differential centrifugation to obtain a total particulate fraction, a particle-free supernatant fraction, highly enriched fractions of primary and secondary granules, and a membrane-rich fraction. the various fractions were solubilized in buffer containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (sds) and analyzed for protein and glycoproteincomponents by sds -polyacrylamide gel electrop ... | 1975 | 166079 |
stereochemistry of the hydrogen transfer to nad catalyzed by d-galactose dehydrogenase from pseudomonas fluorescens. | the stereochemistry of the hydrogen transfer to nad catalyzed by d-galactose dehydrogenase (e.c. 1.1.1.48) from p. fluorescens was investigated. the label at c-1 of d-[1--3h] galactose was enzymatically transferred to nad and the resulting [4--3h]nadh was isolated and its stereochemistry at c-4 investigated. it was found that the label was exclusively located at the 4(s) position in nadh which calls for classification as a b-enzyme. this result was confirmed by an alternate approach in which [4- ... | 1975 | 167851 |
immunization against experimental chagas' disease by using culture forms of trypanosoma cruzi killed with a solution of sodium perchlorate. | protection against infection with virulent blood (trypomastigote) forms of trypanosoma cruzi was accomplished in mice by immunization with culture (mainly epimastigote) forms killed by treatment with sodium perchlorate. sodium chloride, used instead of sodium perchlorate, with all other conditions kept the same, failed to kill all the organisms, indicating that the effects of the perchlorate anion were not simply ionic or osmotic, suggesting that they might be chaotropic. a single dose of the im ... | 1975 | 170200 |
morphogenesis of sindbis virus in cultured aedes albopictus cells. | cultured mosquito cells were found to produce sindbis virus nearly as efficiently as bhk-21 cells at 28 c. in virtually all of the cells observed in the electron microscope, virus morphogenesis was found to occur within complex vesicular structures which developed after viral infection. viral nucleocapsids were first seen in these vesicles and appeared to be enveloped within these structures. the process of envelopment within these inclusions differed in some respects from the process previously ... | 1975 | 170422 |
interaction in culture between mouse ascites hepatoma (mh-134) cells and lymphoid cells of isologous mice. | thymocytes or lymphocytes of mesenteric lymph nodes were obtained from mice bearing subcutaneously mouse ascites hepatoma mh-134 for 5 to 40 days. these lymphoid cells were added into the cultures of mh-134 cells. morphological changes of cells in the mixed cultures were observed by time-lapse cinemicrography for the period of 4 weeks. lymphoid cells were phagocytosed by mh-134 cells, and, in most cases, the tumor cells did not undergo any damage due to the phagocytosis. the exceptional cases we ... | 1975 | 171464 |
estrogen receptor in rat liver and its dependence on prolactin. | estrogen receptor is shown to be present in the livers of adult rats. the receptor binds estradiol-17beta with a kd of 1 x 10(-10) m and sediments at 8 s in sucrose gradients. other estrogens and anti-estrogens compete for estradiol binding, while nonestrogenic steroids do not. receptor levels fall dramatically after hypophysectomy, but can be partially restored within 18 hours by a single injection of prolactin. it is known that prolactin critically regulates the level of its own receptor in th ... | 1975 | 173045 |

purification and some properties of rabbit skeletal muscle fructose 6-phosphate kinase inhibitor. | the loss of activity of rabbit skeletal muscle fpk on storage and its restoration by atp, amp and cyclic amp has prompted us to look for an inhibitory unit of the enzyme. we have purified this inhibitory factor from the crude muscle extract and isolated from crystalline fpk; both proteins have the same mw of about 68,000 (sds). carboxymethylation revealed species of lower molecular weight. it is suggested that two different kinds of fpk exist, one composed only of "active" subunits and another c ... | 1975 | 173415 |
radiation-enhanced murine sarcoma virus genome rescue activity. | although the doses of x-ray (312-2,500 r) used for irradiation of cells caused impairment of dna synthesis and cell replication, co-cultivation of x-irradiated mulv- carrier cells with un-irradiated nonproducer cells of msv-induced tumour resulted in as much as 20-fold increase in msv retrieval compared with the un-irradiated control. the enhancement was apparent also as a 3-fold increase in the number of cells producing msv (infectious centers) in the co-cultivation plate. this suggested that t ... | 1975 | 173498 |
procollagen biosynthesis by embryonic-chick-bone polysomes. estimation of the relative numbers of active proalpha1 and proalpha2 messenger ribonucleic acids. | both total polysomes and polysomes of different size classes isolated from embryonic chick cranial bones were allowed to complete their nascent polypeptide chains in a cell-free system containing rabbit reticulocyte post-ribosomal supernatant fraction. in this system, no de novo initiation of polypeptide synthesis occurred. the product was analysed for relative content of proalpha1 and proalpha2, the precursors of the alpha chains of collagen, by dodecylsulphate-acrylamide gel electrophoresis as ... | 1975 | 173541 |
