| rats of the genus rattus are reservoir hosts for pathogenic bartonella species: an old world origin for a new world disease? | bartonella species were isolated from the blood of 63 of 325 rattus norvegicus and 11 of 92 rattus rattus from 13 sites in the united states and portugal. infection in both rattus species ranged from 0% (e.g., 0/87) to approximately 60% (e.g., 35/62). a 337-bp fragment of the citrate synthase (glta) gene amplified by polymerase chain reaction was sequenced from all 74 isolates. isolates from r. norvegicus were most similar to bartonella elizabethae, isolated previously from a patient with endoca ... | 1999 | 10353885 |
| [indications for relief and palliative operations]. | torkildsen and spitz-holter drainages and/or osteoclastic trepanation were performed on 29 patients suffering from a severe increase in intracranial pressure and/or a severely worsened general condition as a relieving intervention in order to permit a tumor operation later. the relieving measure enabled a tumor operation in 28 patients. the same procedure was used as a palliative step for another group of 73 patients suffering from inoperable tumorous processes. evaluation in these cases showed ... | 1999 | 95657 |
| chemotherapy of head and neck cancer: combination treatment with cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, methotrexate, and bleomycin. | a combination of cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, methotrexate, and bleomycin (camb) was explored in patients with advanced, nonresectable epidermoid carcinoma from primary sites in the head and neck, recurrent or persistent after radiation or surgery. objective regression (greater than 50%) of measurable tumor was present in 35% of the patients. the median duration of response was 2.5 months. median survival of responders was slightly less than the nonresponders, but the difference was not signifi ... | 1999 | 85249 |
| an experimental study on the effect of plasma expanders on blood coagulability. | the effect of various plasma expanders on blood coagulation was studied using the thromboelastography (teg). solutions of 5, 10, 20, and 50% concentration of each expander (6% low molecular weight hydroxyethyl-starch (6% hespander), 3% dextran-40, 6% high molecular weight hydroxyethyl-starch (6 hes), and 6% dextran-70) or solvent (lactated ringer solution and normal saline) in blood were prepared and their coagulability was examined by teg. in the low molecular weight plasma expanders (6% hespan ... | 1999 | 85502 |
| bartonella infections: diagnostic and management issues. | bartonella species are emerging pathogens. renewed interest in this group of bacteria has been highlighted by the recent description of new species, which are pathogenic for humans (bartonella elizabethae and bartonella clarridgeae), and their association with an increasing number of clinical manifestations, the more prevalent being cat scratch disease, bacillary angiomatosis, and culture-negative endocarditis. | 1998 | 17033388 |
| bartonella tribocorum sp. nov., a new bartonella species isolated from the blood of wild rats. | two bartonella strains from blood of two wild rats (rattus norvegicus) living in a rural environment were isolated. these strains were distinct from all previously known bartonella species based on phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. this new species is distinguished by its trypsin-like activity, the absence of the ability to hydrolyse proline and tributyrin, its 16s rrna and citrate synthase gene sequences and by whole-dna hybridization data. this new species, for which the name bartonell ... | 1998 | 9828434 |

| comparison of partial citrate synthase gene (glta) sequences for phylogenetic analysis of bartonella species. | nucleotide base sequence data were obtained for a 940-bp fragment of the citrate synthase-encoding gene (glta) of representatives of the eight validly described bartonella species and seven uncharacterized bartonella strains obtained from small mammals. complete 16s rrna gene sequences were also determined for the uncharacterized strains, and these sequences revealed that each strain had a unique sequence which was very similar to the sequences of the previously recognized bartonella species. a ... | 1996 | 8863415 |
| antibodies to bartonella species in inner-city intravenous drug users in baltimore, md. | bartonella quintana has recently been associated with homeless alcoholic men. both b quintana and bartonella henselae have been shown to be opportunistic pathogens of people with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. the reservoirs and modes of transmission of these infections are incompletely known. | 1996 | 8944742 |
| [cat-scratch disease and disease caused by bartonella (rochalimaea)]. | the aetiology of cat scratch disease remains controversial since both afipia felis and bartonella (rochalimaea) henselae have been isolated from diseased lymph nodes. bartonella henselae, bartonella (rochalimaea) quintana and bartonella (rochalimaea) elizabethae cause endocarditis and bartonella bacilliformis cause septicemia (oroya's fever) in non-immunocompromized patients, and bartonella henselae and bartonella quintana cause fever, bacillary angiomatosis, and visceral peliosis in human immun ... | 1995 | 7534931 |
| use of bartonella antigens for serologic diagnosis of cat-scratch disease at a national referral center. | bartonella henselae (formerly the genus rochalimaea) has recently been isolated from patients with cat-scratch disease and their cats, and since september 1992 the centers for disease control and prevention has offered an indirect fluorescent antibody assay for bartonella-specific antibody. | 1995 | 7542443 |
| proposals to unify the genera bartonella and rochalimaea, with descriptions of bartonella quintana comb. nov., bartonella vinsonii comb. nov., bartonella henselae comb. nov., and bartonella elizabethae comb. nov., and to remove the family bartonellaceae from the order rickettsiales. | dna hybridization data (hydroxyapatite method, 50 to 70 degrees c) indicate that rickettsia prowazekii, the type species of the type genus of the family rickettsiaceae, is substantially less closely related to rochalimaea species than was previously thought. the levels of relatedness of rickettsia prowazekii to rochalimaea species and to bartonella bacilliformis under optimal conditions for dna reassociation were 0 to 14%, with 25.5% or greater divergence in related sequences. when stringent rea ... | 1993 | 8240958 |
| rochalimaea elizabethae sp. nov. isolated from a patient with endocarditis. | a rochalimaea-like organism (strain f9251) was isolated from a patient with endocarditis after blood drawn for culture before antimicrobial therapy was subcultured onto blood and chocolate agars and incubated for 2 weeks in 5% co2. the strain was phenotypically similar to known rochalimaea species. the cellular fatty acid composition of strain f9251 was close to but distinct from those of the three known rochalimaea species and was most similar to that of r. vinsonii. labeled dna from strain f92 ... | 1993 | 7681847 |
| structure of the human centromere at metaphase. | until recently the centromere was thought to be a relatively homogeneous region of densely packed heterochromatin with a single differentiated domain--the kinetochore--at its surface, representing the point of attachment of the mitotic spindle. we now know that the centromere of higher eukaryotes is composed of several domains that have been identified using antibody probes. somewhere within the domains are located both the factor(s) that control the disjunction of sister chromatids and the mole ... | 1990 | 2193435 |

| high mutagenic activity of 3-azido-1,2-propanediol (azidoglycerol, ag) in strain d7 of saccharomyces cerevisiae. | 3-azido-1,2-propanediol (azidoglycerol, ag) showed a high mutagenicity in strain d7 of saccharomyces cerevisiae. at 5 mm it increased the spontaneous frequency of isoleucine revertants 3500 times and the frequency of gene convertants 3000 times during 24 h of growth, reducing the growth rate to 30%. in non-growth conditions, treatment with 150 mm of ag for 3 h reduced cell survival to 60% and enhanced the frequency of isoleucine revertants 490 times and tryptophan-independent convertants 50 time ... | 1987 | 3553915 |
| radiometric-high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for nicotine and twelve of its metabolites. | a sensitive, reproducible radiometric-high-performance liquid chromatographic assay has been developed to measure concentrations of nicotine and twelve of its metabolites in biological fluids. following administration of nicotine ([2-14c]pyrrolidine) to rats, the assay was used in a pharmacokinetic investigation. | 1987 | 3667778 |
| effects of noise on pure-tone thresholds in blackbirds (agelaius phoeniceus and molothrus ater) and pigeons (columba livia). | blackbirds and pigeons were trained to detect tones in quiet and in broadband noise by using positive-reinforcement techniques. in experiment 1, thresholds in noise were obtained in blackbirds as a function of both tone frequency and noise intensity for a pulsed noise masker (noise gated on and off with tone). for blackbirds, critical ratios (the ratio of the power of the just-detectable tone in noise to the power of the noise masker) obtained in pulsed noise showed no consistent relation to ton ... | 1987 | 3568604 |
| plasmodium falciparum malaria: band 3 as a possible receptor during invasion of human erythrocytes. | human erythrocyte band 3, a major membrane-spanning protein, was purified and incorporated into liposomes. these liposomes, at nanomolar concentrations of protein, inhibited invasion of human erythrocytes in vitro by the malaria parasite plasmodium falciparum. liposomes containing human band 3 were ten times more effective in inhibiting invasion than those with pig band 3 and six times more effective than liposomes containing human erythrocyte glycophorin. liposomes alone or liposomes containing ... | 1985 | 3880920 |
| the temporal evolution of hypoglycemic brain damage. i. light- and electron-microscopic findings in the rat cerebral cortex. | in the course of a study on the pathogenesis of neuronal necrosis in severe hypoglycemia, the morphological characteristics reflecting reversible and irreversible neuronal lesions were examined as a function of time following normalization of blood glucose. to that end, closely spaced time intervals were studied in the rat cerebral cortex before, during, and up to 1 year after standardized pure hypoglycemic insults of 30 and 60 min of cerebral isoelectricity. both the superficial and deep layers ... | 1985 | 4024866 |

| immunologic studies of native and modified human factor viii/von willebrand factor. | factor viii/von willebrand factor (fviii/vwf) is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight greater than one-million daltons. two activities are associated with this large molecule: fviii procoagulant activity and vwf activity. incubation of fviii/vwf with proteolytic enzymes causes rapid inactivation of the fviii procoagulant activity but has little effect on the vwf activity or antigenicity. in an attempt to gain insight into the structural features required for these two activities, antisera were ... | 1979 | 88237 |
| hippocampal evoked potentials and eeg changes during classical conditioning in the rat. | hippocampal evoked potentials (eps) and eeg responses were studied in rats, using a classical conditioning paradigm (water, us), with a spatially discontiguous cs-us arrangement in order to separate the cs and goal-related responses. in early training, when the orienting score was high, the tone cs, instead of eliciting a definite ep, usually reset hippocampal theta activity in phase, i.e. theta rhythm became time-locked to cs. with further training, orienting activity (ori) decreased to the pre ... | 1979 | 88362 |
| [effect of aflatoxin b 1 on respiration and oxidative phosphorylation in the rabbit. ii. research on cardiac and renal mitochondria]. | the effect of various concentrations of aflatoxin b1 (ab1) is studied "in vitro" on heart (hm) and kidney mitochondria of rabbit (km). ab1 inhibits (4 x 10(-4)m) the respiratory rate up to a maximum 50-35% in hm and 28-35% in km by glutamate and succinate as substrates respectively, but it does not uncouple oxidative phosphorylation nor does it inhibit site iii (ascorbate + tmpd). the inhibited site appears to be between cytochromes b and c (c1). ab1 seems to be easily transported across heart m ... | 1979 | 548060 |
