[heparin therapy of pregnant women with placental insufficiency].in the presence of low-dosage administrations of heparin the system of hemostasis was studied in 50 pregnant females with placental failure and the chronic dic syndrome. the efficacy of the treatment conducted was assessed with regard to the revealed levels of coagulation natural inhibitors, the products of fibrinogen-fibrin degradation, the degree of thrombocytic functional recovery and stabilization of the chronometric values of coagulation. the latter parameters considered together with the l ...20092817276
morphometric analysis of the cell outlines of normal and polyomavirus-transformed fr 3t3 fibroblasts.a method is described for the analysis of cell shape, using an image analyzer connected to a computer to assess the cell outline. a series of parameters to assess the contribution of large cytoplasmic expansions to cell morphology and to cell spreading on a planar substratum were used to quantify the visual morphologic differences between normal (nontransformed; n.3t3) and polyomavirus-transformed (py.3t3) fisher rat 3t3 fibroblasts. the results show that the py.3t3 fibroblasts are more spherica ...19872822058
inhibitory effect of disulfiram (antabuse) on alcohol dehydrogenase activity.we investigated the effect of disulfiram (antabuse) on the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase (ec 1.1.1.1) in vitro. we observed a time-dependent inhibition of this dehydrogenase by disulfiram and diethyldithiocarbamate similar to that obtained for aldehyde dehydrogenase (ec 1.2.1.3). these results suggest a possible explanation for various side effects observed in the clinical use of antabuse.20092822291

reinfection of guinea pigs with herpes simplex virus type 2: failure to establish a second latent ganglionic infection.guinea pigs were infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv 2) and at various times thereafter reinfected at a different site with the same or a different strain of hsv 2. viruses were isolated from infected tissues either from the site of primary or secondary infection or from regional ganglia. viral isolates were characterised by dna fingerprinting using restriction endonucleases capable of differentiating between the virus strains used. the second infection resulted in a second site of pe ...19872825951
the kappa agonists pd117302 and u50488 produce a biphasic effect on 24 hour food intake in the rat.the effects of the selective kappa opioid receptor agonists pd117302 [(+/-)trans-n-methyl-n-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-cyclohexyl-]benzo-[b]- thiophene-4-acetamide] and u50488 (trans-3,4-dichloro-n-methyl-n-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-cyclohexyl]- benzeneacetamide) were investigated on food intake in non-deprived rats over a 24 hr period following subcutaneous administration. at doses of 2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg, both pd117302 and u50488 initially increased food intake. between 6-24 hr, however, pd117302 (2.5-10 ...19872829048
presynaptic opioid kappa-receptor and regulation of the release of met-enkephalin in the rat brainstem.opioid kappa-agonists had much more potent inhibitory effects on the high k+-evoked met-enkephalin release from rat brain slices than did the mu- or delta-agonists. the opioid kappa- antagonist, mr2266 enhanced the evoked release of met-enkephalin to a greater extent than did mu- or delta-antagonists in vitro and had a potent analgesia in mice in vivo. these findings suggest that the release of met-enkephalin may be regulated in vitro and in vivo, mainly by presynaptic kappa-receptor-mediated me ...19872829060
[suppurative meningitis in the newborn infant: experience with 107 cases in the ivory coast].a retrospective study of 107 neonates with meningitis showed that in 45% of cases the condition occurred during the first 48 hours after birth, probably following a materno-foetal infection. male neonates accounted for 70% of the cases. in 15% of cases, the mothers previously had a known infectious disease and 55% of cases came from an unfavourable socio-economic environment. over 50% of the infants had to be resuscitated at birth. the majority of organisms isolated were gram-negative bacteria o ...19882834748
two mutant alleles of the insulin receptor gene in a patient with extreme insulin resistance.insulin receptor complementary dna has been cloned from an insulin-resistant patient with leprechaunism whose receptors exhibited multiple abnormalities in insulin binding. the patient is a compound heterozygote, having inherited two different mutant alleles of the insulin receptor gene. one allele contains a missense mutation encoding the substitution of glutamic acid for lysine at position 460 in the alpha subunit of the receptor. the second allele has a nonsense mutation causing premature cha ...19882834824

the leeuwenhoek lecture, 1986. environmental carcinogens and papillomaviruses in the pathogenesis of cancer.in many areas of the world there is a geographically localized high incidence of alimentary and bladder cancer in cattle. studies in western scotland have demonstrated that this phenomenon is associated with ingestion of bracken fern. however, the affected animals and herds were shown also to have an unusually high infection rate of alimentary papillomas caused by a previously unrecognised bovine papillomavirus (bpv) and that these tumors could undergo malignant transformation. long-term field a ...19872888116
high rate of plasmodium vivax relapse following treatment of falciparum malaria in thailand.within two months of treatment for falciparum malaria, plasmodium vivax infections developed in 58 (33%) of 174 patients who had received a quinine or quinidine regimen and in 46 (32%) of 145 patients who had received mefloquine with inpatient follow-up of more than six weeks. the time to vivax relapse was significantly longer after mefloquine treatment (median 47 days, range 30-65) than after quinine or quinidine treatment (21 days, 15-36; p less than 0.0001). all patients remained outside area ...19872889965

administration of gm1 ganglioside eliminates neuroleptic-induced sensorimotor deficits in mptp-treated mice.injection of a low dose of haloperidol, that has no obvious behavioral effects in normal mice, produces akinesia, catalepsy, and sensory neglect in mptp-treated mice. gm1 ganglioside treatment eliminates all of these behavioral impairments and also partially restores striatal dopamine content. these observations suggest that the mptp-treated mouse may be a valuable model for studying mechanisms underlying parkinsonism and that administration of gm1 ganglioside may be an effective therapy.19882903475

autoimmunity after induction of neonatal tolerance to alloantigens: role of b cell chimerism and f1 donor b cell activation.balb/c mice rendered tolerant by the neonatal injection of semiallogeneic (c57bl/6 x balb/c)f1 spleen cells develop features of autoimmune disease. the possible mechanisms involved in autoantibody production, particularly anti-dna antibodies, were investigated. in the first 5 wk, there was polyclonal b cell activation, as indicated by marked hypergammaglobulinemia, with a predominance of igg1 and an increased production of antihapten antibodies. igg1 anti-ssdna and anti-dsdna antibodies were det ...20102940295
dose-related effects of synthetic human beta-endorphin and naloxone on fed gastrointestinal motility.in humans, plasma beta-endorphin levels rise during application of acute stressful stimuli (vertigo, cold pain, and transcutaneous electrical stimulation) that induce gut motor disturbances. whereas it is possible that circulating beta-endorphin participates in the mediation of these central effects on gut motility, its role cannot be established solely on the basis of changes in plasma levels. therefore, we designed the present study to investigate 1) the dose-related effects of intravenous syn ...19862942039
structure-activity relationships of sex steroid analogs determined in vitro in a thyroid hormone-responsive membrane ca2+-atpase model.physiological concentrations of l-t4 were found previously to stimulate ca2+-atpase activity in vitro in reticulocyte membranes from female rabbits and to inhibit this enzyme in reticulocyte membranes from males. in these previous studies, preincubation of intact cells or ghosts with testosterone (5 x 10(-11) m) converted female-source reticulocyte membranes to male-type responsiveness to thyroid hormone (inhibition of ca2+-atpase activity). preincubation of reticulocyte membranes with 17 beta-e ...19862946570

reca protein-promoted atp hydrolysis occurs throughout reca nucleoprotein filaments.when reca protein binds cooperatively to single-stranded dna to form filamentous nucleoprotein complexes, it becomes competent to hydrolyze atp. no correlation exists between the ends of such complexes and the rate of atp hydrolysis. atp hydrolysis is not, therefore, restricted to the terminal subunits on cooperatively bound reca oligomers, but occurs throughout the complex. similarly, during reca protein-promoted branch migration (during dna strand exchange), atp hydrolysis is not restricted to ...19872951381
chromosomal assignments of genes coding for human leukocyte common antigen, t-200, and lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1, lfa-1 beta subunit.five hybrids reactive with monoclonal antibodies against human leukocyte common antigen (t-200) and/or lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (lfa-1) beta subunit were obtained from the fusion of human blood lymphocytes or t-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells with bw5147 mouse t-cell leukemia cells. chromosome analyses of 20 clones showed concordance between the presence of human chromosomes 1 and 21 and the expression of t-200 and lfa-1 beta subunit, respectively. confirmation of human c ...19872955527

subfractionation of human t lymphocyte subpopulations by partitioning: surface heterogeneity of the okt8/leu2+ t cell subset.human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) were subjected to countercurrent distribution in a charge-sensitive dextran-poly (ethylene glycol) aqueous two-phase system. cells are thereby subfractionated on the basis of their charge-associated surface properties. the helper/inducer t cell subset (okt4/leu3+) has a single distribution curve with a low partition ratio (p). in contrast, the suppressor/cytotoxic (okt8/leu2+) subset is clearly heterogeneous and gives two peaks, one with a lower an ...19872955975
jaundice. clinical pearls and perils revisited.i recount some clinical "pearls and perils" to help reassess the contributions of abdominal ultrasound, cholangiography, needle biopsy of the liver, and laparoscopy. abdominal ultrasound demonstrates stones in the gallbladder in approximately 98% of cases, but in only 15% in the common bile duct, whereas computerized tomography scan reveals them in greater than or equal to 50%. on cholangiography a blood clot (in hemobilia) may closely resemble a common duct stone, as may spasm or tumor of the d ...20032958535

identification of apolipoproteins involved in the interaction of human high density lipoprotein3 with receptors on cultured cells.human high density lipoprotein (hdl), devoid of apolipoproteins e or b, binds with high affinity and specificity to cultured cells derived from several tissues. in order to investigate the ligand specificity of the putative receptor, we have performed competitive inhibition studies to identify the components of high density lipoprotein that bind to cell surfaces of rat adrenal cortical cells and human skin fibroblasts. radiolabeled hdl3 was displaced with unlabeled apolipoprotein-dimyristoylphos ...19852982866
thio-analogues of inorganic pyrophosphate inhibit the replication of influenza virus a in vitro.mono- and bisthiopyrophosphate can inhibit the replication of influenza virus a/x49 in madin-darby canine kidney (mdck) cells at concentrations at which no cytotoxic effect is observed after 3 days. the thiopyrophosphate analogues inhibit the rna transcriptase activity of this virus possibly by chelating with an essential metal ion in the transcriptase complex. [31p]nmr spectroscopy indicates that bisthiopyrophosphate coordinates to zinc through sulphur and magnesium through oxygen which may inf ...19852990333
studies on the mechanism of action of omeprazole.the effects of omeprazole on preparations of pig gastric (h+ + k+)-atpase have been studied. omeprazole was found to inhibit the (h+ + k+)-atpase activity in a time-dependent manner. inhibition was more pronounced at ph 6.1 compared with ph 7.4 and decreased as the concentration of (h+ + k+)-atpase preparation increased. the potency of omeprazole was therefore highly dependent upon the conditions used. when pre- incubated with (h+ + k+)-atpase preparation (30 micrograms protein/ml) for 30 min at ...19852992525

localization of the binding sites of porcine tissue-type plasminogen activator and plasminogen to heparin.to localize the binding region of porcine tissue-type plasminogen activator (ec 3.4.21.31) (t-plasminogen activator) to heparin, functionally active a and b chains (molecular mass of each 33 kda) were separated from the two-chain t-plasminogen activator after mild reduction and alkylation. the a chain bound to fibrin-sepharose, but not to heparin-sepharose. in contrast, the b chain showed amidase activity toward hd-ile-pro-arg-p-nitroanilide (s-2288) and a high affinity for heparin-sepharose, bu ...19873120775
translational control of insp3-induced chromatin condensation during the early cell cycles of sea urchin embryos.the cycles of dna synthesis and chromatin condensation in dividing cells are controlled by signals from the cytoplasm. changes in the concentration of free calcium (cai) in the cytoplasm control a variety of cellular functions and it has thus been suggested that observed variations in cai during the cell cycle may be the cytoplasmic signal that co-ordinates nuclear and cytoplasmic division. we show here that increases in cai induced by the calcium-releasing second messenger inositol 1,4,5-tripho ...20113127728
[resorption and metabolic utilization of d-[alpha-15n]lysine and l-[alpha-15n]lysine after oral administration, with special reference to the metabolism of intestinal bacteria].absorption of d-[alpha-15n]lysine and l-[alpha-15n]lysine following an oral single pulse labelling at a dosage of 5 mg 15n'/kg body weight was compared in four subjects aged 4 to 14 months. the wastages of 15n' in the faeces ranged from 0.3 to 5% of the input implying comparably high absorption rates of both the lysine enantiomers. only about 7.6% of the 15n from the alpha-amino groups were found in the urine after loading with l-[alpha-15n]lysine. in contrast, about 80.2% of the 15n' dose from ...20113128286
tripelennamine enhances buprenorphine-, but not pentazocine-induced hyperactivity in mice.the opioid agonist-antagonist pentazocine (1-30 mg/kg) and the partial agonist buprenorphine (0.05-0.25 mg/kg) were tested, alone or in combination with the histamine h1-receptor antagonist tripelennamine (1, 2.5, 5 or 10 mg/kg), on locomotor activity in mice of the cd-1 strain. when given alone, pentazocine produced slight and non-dose-related activity increments, while buprenorphine induced strong and dose-related locomotor stimulation. tripelennamine slightly increased activity by itself and ...20113137594

cyclosporin a treatment in children with minimal change nephrotic syndrome and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis.in a pilot study 23 children with nephrotic syndrome were treated with cyclosporin a (cs) for 6-45 months. 8 children suffered from steroid dependent minimal change nephrotic syndrome (mcns) and had experienced at least one course with cytotoxic drugs, but had relapsed thereafter. 2 children had diabetes mellitus type i with nephrotic syndrome and 13 children had steroid resistant focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (fsgs). cs was started with 100 mg/m2/day in two doses and increased stepwise to ...20113236762
[pathophysiologic observations of facial neuralgia].the different etiology and pathogenesis of face-neuralgiae requires a spezific therapy of the respective illness. new aspects are formed in the last years in the so-called idiopathic neuralgia. she has good chances with the therapy through the jannetta-operation. the evident mechanical lesion by compression, the ephaptic genesis and the special pain-characterization with trigger-attacks not support the "idiopathic". this is called "ictal neuralgia". the paper attempts pathophysiological to expla ...20123244807
fatty acid components of larval ostrea edulis (l.): importance of triacylglycerols as a fatty acid reserve.1. the fatty acid profiles of all of the acyl-lipid classes of 1- and 10-day-old european oyster ostrea edulis (l.) larvae were studied in detail by capillary gas-liquid chromatography. 2. no significant changes in the fatty acids were detected between the different larval stages. 3. total lipid fatty acids showed a higher degree of unsaturation than previously reported. this may be a consequence of the extraction of lipids from the living tissues without sample storage. 4. one-third of the tria ...20113248373

coordinative interactions in the separation of insulin and its derivatives by high-performance liquid chromatography.the effects of various inorganic cations and anions on the chromatographic behaviour of insulin and its derivatives have been investigated. it was shown that on an octadecylsilica column at a given eluent composition the retention of insulins depends primarily on the nature of the anions. the cations have a secondary effect, depending on their size and coordination ability. the mechanism of the effect of the ions is complex. it includes the formation of ion pairs, their influence on dissociation ...19873323216
use of lytic bacteriophage for actinomyces viscosus t14v as a probe for cell surface components mediating intergeneric coaggregation.a lytic bacteriophage for actinomyces viscosus t14v (the reference strain for actinomyces coaggregation group a) was isolated from raw sewage. this phage, designated bf307, also lysed the t14v-derived nonfimbriated mutant pk455-2 as well as a. viscosus mg-1 and t14av but not the other serotype 2 or serotype 1 strains of this species that were tested or any of nine actinomyces naeslundii isolates. phages bf307 belonged to bradley morphological group c and was similar in appearance to the a. visco ...19883335409
