responses of gastrointestinal peptides and motor activity to milk and water feedings in preterm and term infants.because duodenal motor activity differs between preterm and term infants during fasting, this study evaluated the responses of motor activity and peptide release in response to feeding. in the first study, fasting concentrations of gastrin, gastric inhibitory peptide, neurotensin, and peptide yy (pyy) were determined in 53 preterm and 20 term infants. plasma concentrations of gastrin and neurotensin were significantly lower in preterm infants than in healthy adults reported previously by our lab ...20061635821
fistula injury to the bladder at repeat cone biopsy by laser.a 33-year-old woman underwent repeat cone biopsy of the cervix with a carbon dioxide (co2) laser. at operation the laser caused multiple full thickness fenestrations of the bladder, creating multiple small vesico-vaginal fistulae. the cone biopsy was completed and the fistulae were converted into a single defect which was immediately repaired. the patient went home 'dry'. we believe this is the first such report in the english-language literature.20061563577

[malignant melanoma metastatic to the stomach: upper g-i endoscopic finding--report of a case].a 54-year-old male was presented with huge, black, ulcerative and painless tumor of the sole of left foot. malignant melanoma was proved by biopsy, but patient refused any treatment. he visited our hospital again when bloody vomitus was noted two months later. chest p-a revealed multiple lung metastases, and marked liver metastasis was also found by abdominal echo. upper gastrointestinal (ugi) panendoscopy revealed multiple melanotic nodules with ulcerations at the tip, scattering diffusely on t ...20072168278
adrenergic receptors and sensitization of adenylyl cyclase in acute myocardial ischemia.acute myocardial ischemia leads to a gradual increase in beta-adrenergic receptors at the cell surface. this increase occurs rapidly after onset of global ischemia (15 minutes) and persists even after prolonged periods of global ischemia. this alteration can be observed both in vivo and in vitro in isolated perfused hearts. several groups have previously shown that ischemia induces a local release of endogenous catecholamines. here, we show that these endogenous catecholamines are sufficiently h ...20072168300

control of cell number in the developing visual system. i. effects of monocular enucleation.monocular enucleation of hamsters on the day of birth caused an increase in cellular degeneration and a corresponding loss of cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus contralateral to the enucleation over the first 12 postnatal days. the superficial layers of the contralateral superior colliculus showed a similar increase in cell degeneration, except rostrally where the remaining ipsilateral projection is found. no changes in degeneration were found in either the ipsi- or contralateral ven ...20093730886

a stereophotogrammetric method for measurements of ligament structure.a stereophotogrammetric method is presented to reconstruct the course of a curve in the three-dimensional space. this method is exclusively suitable as a non-destructive tool to determine the surface fiberstructure of ligaments, tendons and other organised collagenous structures. in addition, it is a convenient tool to measure the geometry of articular surfaces and other complicated surface shapes.20092708397
rna editing at a splicing site of nadh dehydrogenase subunit iv gene transcript in wheat mitochondria.comparison between the sequence of the gene coding for the wheat mitochondrial nadh dehydrogenase subunit iv (nad4) and the cdna sequence obtained by reverse transcription, using total wheat mtrna as template, has shown the presence of a uridine residue, not encoded by the genomic sequence, at the exon2-exon3 junction of the spliced transcript. this u creates a non-encoded cug leucine codon which is essential for maintaining the reading frame, as shown by the conservation of the amino acid seque ...20092687023

intracavernous injection of prostaglandin e1 for the treatment of erectile impotence.we administered intracavernous injections of 20 micrograms. prostaglandin e1 to 135 patients with impotence, and evaluated the effects and side effects. among 135 patients who underwent intracavernous injection of prostaglandin e1 complete erection was observed in 83 (62 per cent), while incomplete erection was noted in 33 (24 per cent). in both groups the erection was sufficient for sexual intercourse. tumescence without rigidity was noted in 12 patients and no response was obtained in 7. poor ...20102913354
quantitation of lactoferrin in odontogenic cyst fluids.a competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) method was used to measure the concentration of lactoferrin in fluids from 36 odontogenic keratocysts, 15 dentigerous cysts, and 30 radicular/residual cysts. keratocyst fluids contained significantly higher concentrations of lactoferrin than fluids from the other two types of cyst (p less than 0.001); but the range of values obtained within each group was large. although lactoferrin represents a larger proportion of the total protein in ker ...20102921360
changing patterns of infectious diseases.in the 20 years that have passed since i received my medical degree, some of the most evident, striking, and interesting changes in patterns of diseases have occurred among those due to transmissible agents. among other changes are the recognition of new diseases, new clinical manifestations for old diseases, new ecologic niches for traditional pathogens, and new modes of disease transmission. implicated causes for these changes include alterations in lifestyle such as sexual behaviour, leisure ...20103279773
primary structure and synthesis of a blocked myotropic neuropeptide isolated from the cockroach, leucophaea maderae.a peptide which stimulates the contractile activity of the cockroach hindgut was isolated from head extracts of the cockroach, leucophaea maderae. the inability of aminopeptidase m to degrade the peptide and the presence of glutamic acid in the hydrolysate suggested n-terminal blocking by pyroglutamic acid. the n-terminal pglu was removed enzymatically and the unblocked fragment was sequenced with an automated gas-phase peptide sequencer. the structure determined (pglu-thr-ser-phe-thr-pro-arg-le ...20102877794

effect of splenectomy on exercise-induced pulmonary and systemic hypertension in ponies.large increases in systemic and pulmonary arterial pressures of exercising healthy ponies have been observed. because exercise causes a considerable increase in pcv of ponies, we examined the effect of splenectomy on exercise-induced changes in systemic and pulmonary pressures. these pressures (taken with catheter-tip micromanometers) and indicator dilution cardiac output were determined on 9 healthy ponies that had undergone splenectomy 4 to 9 weeks before the study. data obtained at rest and d ...20123421538
expression of proto-oncogenes in embryonic, adult, and transformed tissue of xiphophorus (teleostei: poeciliidae).in xiphophorus the causative, primary cellular oncogene for melanoma formation has been assigned by classical genetics to a sex-chromosomal locus, designated tu. activation of tu was proposed to be the result of the elimination of tu-specific regulatory genes which normally suppress the transforming function in the non-tumorous state. in order to understand the role which known proto-oncogenes might play in this process, we have analysed the expression of src, erb a, erb b, ras, abl, sis and mil ...20123374960

cardiorespiratory consequences of unfused idiopathic scoliosis.a retrospective survey was carried out on approximately 800 scoliotic subjects attending a chest clinic over 25 years. one hundred thirty-one patients with unfused idiopathic scoliosis were identified and further consideration was restricted to 54 who were assessed at 30 years of age or older. sex, age of onset of curvature, severity at the time of presentation, degree of dyspnoea, presence of independent cardiac or pulmonary disease and smoking habit were recorded. measurements of lung function ...20133620323
the estrogen-receptor complex is bound at unusual chromatin regions.the estrogen receptor of mcf-7 cells labeled with high specific activity estradiol was used to mark the chromatin binding sites for this regulatory molecule. many of these sites are especially sensitive to nuclease, and produce on digestion a series of uniquely sedimenting products. several of these have been examined in some detail in this paper. these include a form of receptor that sediments in trace digests at 9s but in more extensive digests at 7s, fast mononucleosomes of about 12.5s, and a ...20133724149
