the effect of amino acids, carbohydrate and fat emulsion on the metabolism in gastrectomized patients.nitrogen balance and other metabolic activity can be maintained by adequate calorie and protein supply during immediate postgastrectomy period. despite high intake of protein, great loss of nitrogen seems to occur in urine during infusion with polyalcohol sugars as compared with natural sugars, e.g., glucose, fructose and maltose. the best utilization of amino acids resulting in positive nitrogen balance and energy utilization were shown to be achieved by combined use of intralipid, glucose, mal ...1977404454
polymorphism in a t-cell receptor variable gene is associated with susceptibility to a juvenile rheumatoid arthritis subset.this report demonstrates a t-cell receptor (tcr) restriction fragment length polymorphism, defined by a tcrb-v6.1 gene probe and bgl ii restriction enzyme, to be absolutely correlated with allelic variation in the coding sequence of a tcrb-v6.1 gene. a pair of non-conservative amino acid substitutions distinguish the tcrb-v6.1 allelic variants. an association of this tcrb-v6.1 gene allelic variant with one form of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (jra) was established in a cohort of 126 patients. t ...19921347283
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
effects of sodium selenite and caffeine on mutagenesis induced by n-methyl-n-nitrosourea, n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine and aflatoxin b1 in s. typhimurium.pre-treatment, co-treatment, and post-treatment procedures were comparatively used in order to assess the modulation of mutagenicity in s. typhimurium his- strains. pre-treatment of bacteria with sodium selenite had no effect on sodium azide mutagenicity. irrespective of the procedure used neither selenite nor caffeine had any influence on the s9-mediated mutagenicity of aflatoxin b1. in contrast, the mutagenicity of n-methyl-n-nitrosourea (mnu) and n-methyl-n'-nitro-n- nitrosoguanidine (mnng) w ...19921383715
sequence identification of 2,375 human brain genes.we recently described a new approach for the rapid characterization of expressed genes by partial dna sequencing to generate 'expressed sequence tags'. from a set of 600 human brain complementary dna clones, 348 were informative nuclear-encoded messenger rnas. we have now partially sequenced 2,672 new, independent cdna clones isolated from four human brain cdna libraries to generate 2,375 expressed sequence tags to nuclear-encoded genes. these sequences, together with 348 brain expressed sequenc ...19921538749
effects of amobarbital on pterins and dinucleotides contents in rat brain.the effects of amobarbital (50 mg.kg-1 ip) on the brain concentrations of biopterin, pterin, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nadh) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (fad) were studied by a reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescent detector. amobarbital increased fad concentrations in 5 brain areas and pterin concentration in the cortex, but decreased biopterin concentrations in the cortex and hippocampus.19911950577
cytotoxic and cytostatic effects of arecoline and sodium nitrite on human cells in vitro.arecoline, an active alkaloid of areca catechu l., and sodium nitrite, a food additive, are highly cytotoxic and cytostatic on the hep 2 cell line when administered in an acidic environment (ph 4.2) in the presence of s-9 mixture. hep 2 cells (10(6)) were treated with either 0.145, 0.725 or 1.449 mm sodium nitrite or 0.042, 0.085 or 0.339 mm arecoline or sodium nitrite (0.145 mm) plus varied concentrations of arecoline (0.042, 0.085 or 0.339 mm). their effects were additive in nature. hep 2 cell ...19911993547
interaction of a 60-kilodalton d-mannose-containing salivary glycoprotein with type 1 fimbriae of escherichia coli.a 60-kilodalton glycoprotein previously isolated and purified from human saliva (j. b. babu, e. h. beachey, d. l. hasty, and w. a. simpson, infect. immun. 51: 405-413, 1986) was found to interact with type 1 fimbriae and prevent adhesion of type 1 fimbriated escherichia coli to animal cells in a d-mannose-sensitive manner. purified salivary glycoprotein agglutinated type 1 fimbriated e. coli and, at subagglutinating concentrations, blocked the ability of type 1 fimbriated e. coli to attach to hu ...19862875948
penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae in various seaport cities of latin america.one hundred fifteen acute cases of gonorrhea were documented in u.s. military personnel during a five-month cruise in which 22 port cities of latin america were visited in 1985. penicillinase-producing neisseria gonorrhoeae (ppng) was isolated from 23 (20%) of the 115 cases. no penicillin-resistant, beta-lactamase-negative gonococci were encountered. none of the ten cases of gonorrhea acquired in the caribbean region was due to ppng. in south america, the ppng infection rate was 35% (19/54) in p ...19883147519
haemolytic uraemic syndrome associated with faecal cytotoxin and verotoxin neutralizing antibodies.forty-nine patients with a diagnosis of idiopathic haemolytic uraemic syndrome (hus) were investigated to determine evidence of infection by verotoxin-producing escherichia coli (vtec). free faecal cytotoxin active on vero cells (vt) was detected in 15 out of 49 patients (31%). seroconversion or high titres of vt-neutralizing antibodies were detected in 11 out of 18 patients (61%). the results of the present study suggest an association between hus and infection by vtec.19883153027

ultraviolet resonance raman spectroscopy of distamycin complexes with poly(da)-poly(dt) and poly(da-dt): role of h-bonding.raman spectra are reported for distamycin, excited at 320 nm, in resonance with the first strong absorption band of the chromophore. qualitative band assignments to pyrrole ring and amide modes are made on the basis of frequency shifts observed in d2o. when distamycin is dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethylformamide, large (30 cm-1) upshifts are seen for the band assigned to amide i, while amides ii and iii shift down appreciably. similar but smaller shifts are seen when distamycin is bou ...20092765491
a regression approach to the projection of u.s. fertility based on past fertility data.the method of fertility projection used by the u.s. bureau of the census involves assumptions about the ultimate cohort total fertility rate and the ultimate cohort mean age at childbearing based on recent levels of fertility and women's birth expectations. this paper provides an outline of a general regression approach to fertility projection based on past data which would generate these two ultimate cohort characteristics. the technique is illustrated by using the u.s. single-year age-specific ...20092629113
the three-dimensional similarity between a dimeric antiparallel extended structure and a beta-turn folded form of enkephalin.the three-dimensional similarity between two fundamental conformations, a dimeric antiparallel extended structure and a type i' beta-turn folded form, of enkephalin was examined by computer graphic and empirical energy calculation methods. by the rotation of tyr and phe side chains, one half of the former structure could mimic the three-dimensional form of the latter without a large loss of conformational energy. this result provides a new idea for considering the conformation of enkephalin suit ...20103030814
fever following orthopedic operations in children.one hundred fifty-three orthopedic operations in 129 children were analyzed for the significance of postoperative fever (pof) as a predictive factor for possible complications. in 72% of the operations, a temperature of greater than 37 degrees c was recorded. in 63 operations (41%), the temperature was greater than 38 degrees c. sixteen children had positive clinical signs that might explain the fever, and all of them had a temperature of greater than 38 degrees c. duration of operation of great ...20143958164
usefulness of continuous positive airway pressure in differential diagnosis of cardiac from pulmonary cyanosis in newborn infants.differential diagnosis of cyanosis in the neonate is difficult and cardiac catheterisation may be required for a correct diagnosis. it has been suggested that the response of pao2 to continuous positive airway pressure (cpap) with 100% oxygen may be useful. the purpose of this study was to test further this hypothesis by studying all neonates investigated for cyanosis with a pao2 less than or equal to 50 torr in 0-8 to 1-0 f1o2. arterial blood samples were obtained in an f1o2 of 0-21-0-4 and 0-8 ...1973356748
