cns amyloid proteins in neurodegenerative diseases.the amyloid plaques found in neurodegenerative diseases show considerable morphologic diversity. two amyloidogenic proteins have been isolated from the brains of humans and animals with neurodegenerative diseases--beta-protein from alzheimer's disease (ad) and down's syndrome, and prion protein (prp) from scrapie and creutzfeldt-jakob disease (cjd). using monoclonal antibodies to a synthetic peptide corresponding to a portion of beta-protein and rabbit antiserum to hamster scrapie prp 27-30, we ...19882901696
[treatment of childhood asthma].the treatment of childhood asthma should be considered with respect to age, severity and aetiology. treatment should be instituted early from the first crisis in order to avoid progression to a more severe form. it consists of two aspects: the treatment of the acute episode and the chronic treatment. the treatment of the acute episode consists of using bronchodilators (bd) (rapid release theophylline and/or beta agonists) to which one might add corticosteroids if the crisis lasts for more than a ...20102905822
renal transepithelial transport of nucleosides.previous work from this and other laboratories has suggested that the mammalian kidney has unique mechanisms for handling purine nucleosides. for example, in humans and in mice, adenosine undergoes net renal reabsorption whereas deoxyadenosine is secreted [kuttesch and nelson: cancer chemother. pharmacol. 8, 221 (1982)]. the relationships between these renal transport systems and classical renal organic cation and anion, carbohydrate, and cell membrane nucleoside transport carriers are not estab ...20102907454
mucocutaneous and invasive candidiasis among very low birth weight (less than 1,500 grams) infants in intensive care nurseries: a prospective study.to determine whether mucocutaneous candidiasis presages the development of invasive candidiasis and to assess factors influencing the development of mucocutaneous candidiasis and invasive candidiasis among infants requiring neonatal intensive care, all infants admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit during a 47-month period were prospectively examined twice weekly for mucocutaneous candidiasis. because 16 of 18 (89%) infants in whom invasive candidiasis (defined by positive cultures of bloo ...20102909957

bladder emptying assessment in stroke patients.the bladder-emptying status of 85 stroke patients admitted to a comprehensive rehabilitation center was evaluated by postvoid residual (pvr) sequential catheterizations. those patients with incomplete bladder emptying were assessed by scheduled pvrs throughout their hospitalization. incomplete bladder emptying occurred initially in 48 of the 85 patients and was sustained in 28. of this group, 22 were able to void voluntarily and 15 were continent. the incomplete emptying group also demonstrated ...20102916918
acquired renal cysts in five-sixths nephrectomized rats: the roles of oxalate deposits in renal tubules and a renotropic factor.the present study was undertaken to see if the oxalate deposits seen in renal tubules are a causative factor in the development of acquired renal cysts in chronic renal failure. thirty 5/6 nephrectomized rats had free access to water containing 8 mg/ml of vitamin c (oxalate precursor) and 20 5/6 nephrectomized rats were given tap water without vitamin c. oxalate deposits were found on microscopy in the renal tubules of vitamin c-treated rats in the 11th and 12th postnephrectomy months; however, ...19892918951
risk of cancer from the use of tar bitumen in road works.tar bitumens are increasingly being used as a binder in road works. they consist of a standard product of about 70% bitumen and 25-30% tar. tar bitumens are classifiable as the pyrolysis products of organic materials and are applied hot. depending on the temperature used there are emissions of various intensities of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pah), some of which are carcinogenic. a total of 250 one hour air samples was taken at breathing height on 20 days at 11 road works sites. the regio ...20102920140
development of spermatozoa in the rhea.we have examined the ultrastructural changes that take place during spermiogenesis in the rhea. spermatozoa are characterized by a curved head and a midpiece. a thin rod extends from the anterior tip of the spermatozoon through the center of the nucleus. a 3-mu-long distal centriole occupies the entire midpiece. the principal piece is characterized by a small fibrous sheath and tiny dense fibers that are only observed in the region of the principal piece, which is immediately behind the annulus. ...20102923278
erosion number and area progression in the wrists and hands of rheumatoid patients: a quantitative microfocal radiographic study.microfocal radiography has been used to evaluate the relation between erosion number and erosion area in the hands and wrists of 51 patients with early to moderately advanced rheumatoid arthritis. the hands of these patients showed different patterns of erosion progression, in terms of the relation between changes in number and area, and included those showing a decrease in one or both of the erosion parameters. the mean number of erosions in the group increased between the first and second visi ...20102923504
genu recurvatum due to partial growth arrest of the proximal tibial physis: correction by callus distraction. case report.the formation of a genu recurvatum after partial growth arrest of the proximal tibial physis is uncommon. this contribution deals with the case of a 16 years old male patient who after a direct injury to the proximal tibia four years ago showed a genu recurvatum of 18 degrees. an incomplete upper tibial corticotomy was performed and a hinge type de bastiani fixator applied. the deformity was corrected at a distraction rate of one millimetre a day. the corticotomy gap filled with callus during th ...20102923531
coexistent cardiac tumours and malformations of the heart.cardiac tumours and anatomical malformations of the heart may produce similar clinical signs and symptoms. the coexistence of these two abnormalities complicates diagnosis and probably adversely affects prognosis. we present a review of four cases of this rare combination. in the first case, ebstein's malformation was present in a child with tuberous sclerosis and cardiac rhabdomyomata. right ventricular rhabdomyomata were associated with a hypoplastic tricuspid valve in the second case. in the ...20102925289
pharmacokinetics of trimetrexate (nsc 352122) in monkeys.the pharmacokinetics of trimetrexate was studied in rhesus monkeys following i.v. bolus, continuous i.v. infusion, oral, and subcutaneous administration. two methods were used to measure drug concentration in plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (csf), and urine: the dihydrofolate reductase inhibition assay, and a reverse phase high-pressure liquid chromatography assay. the pharmacokinetic behavior of trimetrexate was characterized by triexponential plasma disappearance, elimination primarily by biotrans ...19862933145
differences in the chromatographic and mass spectral properties of 3,3',5,5'-tetrachlorodiphenoquinone and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.tetrachlorodiphenoquinones have the same exact mass and elemental composition as the toxic environmental contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. however, analysis of 3,3'-5,5'-tetrachlorodiphenoquinone showed a pronounced tendency toward chemical reduction in the mass spectrometer to the quinol compound, producing a molecular ion two mass units higher than 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin. distinct differences were also apparent between the mass spectral fragmentation patterns of 3,3 ...20102937479

aortic reconstruction vs extra-anatomic bypass and angioplasty. thoughts on evolving a protocol for selection.one hundred forty-eight patients were evaluated for inflow revascularization and stratified by age, vascular anatomy, medical history, and cardiac functional class into aortic reconstruction (ar), extra-anatomic bypass (eab), or iliac angioplasty based on a protocol that restricted ar to good-risk patients and liberalized indications for eab. fifty-five patients underwent ar with a 1.8% mortality, 1.8% myocardial infarction and 12% morbidity, and cumulative life-table patency of 94% at two years ...20102945536
comparison of human growth hormone levels in children with satisfactory and unsatisfactory growth.sixty-six children with satisfactory growth and 73 with unsatisfactory growth (both sexes) from three different age groups (1 year, 5 years and 10 years) were included in this study. it was observed that the serum concentrations of human growth hormone (hgh) in children with satisfactory growth ranged from 1.00 to 4.00 ng/ml and never exceeded 4.00 ng/ml. in a comparative study there was a significant increase in serum hgh levels in subjects of all age groups who were not growing satisfactorily. ...19872956220
individually disparate anti-inflammatory in-vivo susceptibility to corticosteroids in renal transplant recipients.we used the strength of suppression of the interleukin-1-induced peak crp response (crpmax) post-transplant as a measure for the individual steroid susceptibility in vivo. this suppressive effect proved to be fully reversible after abrogation of steroid therapy following graft removal. the standardized suppressive therapy immediately post-transplant led to extremely different results in individual patients ranging from no suppression (26.1% of the patients) to a strong or practically absolute su ...20102959125
human milk-derived lactoferrin inhibits mitogen and alloantigen induced human lymphocyte proliferation.purified lactoferrin (lf), isolated from human milk, was tested for its effect on human t-lymphocyte proliferative responses to phytohemagglutinin (pha) and to alloantigens in mixed lymphocyte culture. lf inhibited proliferation in both assays in a dose-dependent manner. the suppressive effect was not due to lf mediated cytotoxicity since washing cells that had been pre-incubated with lf restored their proliferative activity. lf was most effective in suppressing the pha response when added withi ...19872963123
stimulation of growth hormone secretion by central administration of atrial natriuretic polypeptide in the rat.intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of alpha-human atrial natriuretic polypeptide (alpha hanp) or alpha-rat anp (0.6 and 3 nmol/rat) elicited an increase in plasma gh levels both in conscious freely moving rats and in urethane-anesthetized rats when given at the trough of spontaneous gh secretion. antiserum specific for rat grf did not affect the plasma gh increase induced by icv injection of alpha hanp. intracerebroventricular injection of alpha anp (3 nmol/rat) failed to stimulate gh secre ...19882966063
a study of the correlation between cyclophilin binding and in vitro immunosuppressive activity of cyclosporine a and analogues.in order to establish whether cyp is the pharmacologically relevant csa receptor, the cyp binding v immunosuppressive activity was measured for an extensive, structurally varied group of csa analogues. overall, cyp binding was found to parallel immunosuppressive activity. other than meala6-csa, the few exceptions to the correlation could be ascribed to cellular metabolism. these results strongly implicate cyp or a related protein in the mechanism of action of cyclosporine.20102966482

peptidoglycan synthetic activities in membranes of escherichia coli caused by overproduction of penicillin-binding protein 2 and roda protein.penicillin-binding protein (pbp)-2 and the roda protein are known to function in determining the rod shape of escherichia coli cells. peptidoglycan biosynthetic reactions that required these two proteins were demonstrated in the membrane fraction prepared from an e. coli strain that overproduced both of these two proteins and which lacked pbp-1b activity (the major peptidoglycan synthetase activity in the normal e. coli membranes). the cross-linked peptidoglycan was synthesized from udp-n-acetyl ...19863009484
[pathology of the craniocervical junction as shown by magnetic resonance tomography. 68 cases].in cases of a suspected lesion at the level of the cranio-cervical junction, mr should be considered as the imaging technique of choice. tumours, inflammation and degenerative processes can be reliably demonstrated and diagnosed. administration of contrast media, for example, gadolinium-dtpa, is necessary in selected cases only. comparing "examination time" of x-ray myelography and high resolution x-ray ct with mr, one can well tolerate the long "acquisition" of mr images.20103020636
inhibition of erythrocyte ca2+-atpase by activated oxygen through thiol- and lipid-dependent mechanisms.we have studied erythrocyte ca2+-atpase as a model target for elucidating effects of activated oxygen on the erythrocyte membrane. either intracellular or extracellular generation of activated oxygen causes parallel decrements in ca2+-atpase activity and cytoplasmic gsh, oxidation of membrane protein thiols, and lipid peroxidation. subsequent incubation with either dithiothreitol or glucose allows only partial recovery of ca2+-atpase, indicating both reversible and irreversible components which ...20103021221

influence of dna length on spermine-induced condensation. importance of the bending and stiffening of dna.using dna restriction fragments of 258 to 4362 base-pairs, we have investigated the influence of the dna length on the condensation process induced by spermine, with the aid of electric dichroism measurements. the 258- and 436 bp fragments condensed into rod-like particles, while the fragments of 748 bp or more condensed into torus-shaped particles. our results suggest that a dna molecule longer than the circumference of the toroids observed previously (680 bp) is required to serve as a nucleus ...20083040099
regulation of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels in neurospora crassa.both wild type and cr-1 mutant (adenylate cyclase and cyclic amp-deficient) strains of neurospora crassa contain fructose 2,6-bisphosphate at levels of 27 nmol/g dry tissue weight. this level decreases by about 50% in both strains upon depriving the cells of carbon or nitrogen sources for 3 h. an increase in cyclic amp levels produced by addition of lysine to nitrogen-starved cells produced no increase in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels. both strains respond to short-term addition of salicylate ...20083040112
[breast carcinomas and the extracellular matrix].this paper underlines the interrelations between tumoral cells and the extra-cellular matrix in breast cancers with possible applications for the diagnosis and the prognosis. in mammary carcinomas, the first step of tumoral invasion is characterized by the loss of basement membrane components, particularly type iv collagen and laminin. immunohistochemical detection of these disruptions of basement membrane is easy and useful for the diagnosis of "in situ" or microinvasive carcinomas. laminin see ...20103041983
effects of peptide hi on basal and stimulated insulin and glucagon secretion in the mouse.peptide hi (phi) is a peptide with 27 amino acids that is structurally similar to vip (vasoactive intestinal peptide). since phi, like vip, has been demonstrated to occur in intrapancreatic neurons, and since vip earlier was shown to stimulate insulin and glucagon secretion in the mouse, we investigated whether also phi affects islet hormone secretion in this species. phi was thereby injected intravenously at dose levels between 0.5 and 8.0 nmol/kg. it was found that phi did not affect basal lev ...19883047591
reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome in children and adolescents. report of 18 cases and review of the literature.reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome is a well-recognized disorder in adults, but it is rarely diagnosed in the pediatric age group. this report summarizes our experience with this condition from 1975 to 1985. we diagnosed, treated, and followed up this condition in 18 children and adolescents. the condition usually followed trauma. the most prominent feature in all patients was a constant limb pain with episodes of paroxysmal exacerbation. the pain was associated with two or more of the follow ...20113057867
the laboratory response to glucagon dosages used in gastrointestinal examinations.laboratory studies occasionally are necessary for patients who have undergone hypotonic gastrointestinal examinations. to ascertain the effects of glucagon on these patients, we determined the biochemical and hematologic responses to doses of 0.25-2 mg of glucagon in a double-blind crossover study. when glucagon was given intravenously or intramuscularly in increasing doses, serum values for glucose and insulin increased linearly up to 1 mg with a slight decrease at 2 mg. after intravenous and i ...20113061974

ethanol and its novel metabolites inhibit insulin action on adipocytes.the effects of ethanol, acetaldehyde, and the two novel metabolites of ethanol 2,3-butanediol and 1,2-propanediol on basal and insulin-stimulated adipocyte lipogenesis and glucose oxidation in vitro were investigated. whereas ethanol and acetaldehyde inhibited both processes at concentrations far greater than those found in alcoholic subjects, the two diols were extremely potent inhibitors of basal and insulin-stimulated adipocyte metabolism at concentrations far below those observed in alcoholi ...19883133260
isolation and characterization of chondroitin 6-sulfate proteoglycans present in the extracellular matrix of rabbit bone marrow.the authors' previous studies showed that the glycosaminoglycans present in rabbit bone marrow were composed of chondroitin 6-sulfate (79%) and hyaluronic acid (16%). immunohistochemically the chondroitin 6-sulfate was demonstrated to be in bone marrow matrix constructing hematopoietic microenvironment. in this study the authors isolated and characterized these glycosaminoglycans in their macromolecular form (i.e., proteoglycans). bone marrow of 3-month-old rabbits was defatted with organic solv ...19883135865
acceleration of starvation- and glycerol-induced myxospore formation by prior heat shock in myxococcus xanthus.the effect of heat shock on myxococcus xanthus was investigated during both glycerol- and starvation-induced development. cells heat shocked at 40 degrees c for 1 h prior to a development-inducing signal displayed an accelerated rate of myxospore formation at 30 degrees c. additionally, m. xanthus cells heat shocked prior to glycerol induction formed a greater total number of myxospores when sporulation was complete than did control cells maintained at 30 degrees c. however, in starvation-induce ...19883141380

effect of different modes of dialysis on serum erythropoietin levels in pediatric patients. a report of the southwest pediatric nephrology study group.the relative importance of erythropoietin (ep) and inhibitors of erythropoiesis in the development of anemia in pediatric patients with end-stage renal disease (esrd) was assessed in 82 patients: 41 treated with peritoneal dialysis (pd) and 41 with hemodialysis (hd). serum ep was determined with a sensitive radioimmunoassay. potential serum inhibition of erythroid (cfu-e) and granulocytic (cfu-gm) progenitor cell growth was assessed using human bone marrow cell cultures. the mean ep level for al ...19883153056
[open approach to the subclavian vein for permanent cardiac stimulation].in 97.5% of 562 successive attempts, puncture of the subclavian vein to introduce permanent pacemaker electrodes was made easier and safer by the incisional technique described in this report. the very low incidence (0.35%) of traumatic pneumothorax and the absence, after a long follow-up, of any infection or exteriorization of the pacemaker chamber were the main advantages of this technical variant.20113156361
volume overload hypertrophy elicited by cold and its effects on myocardial capillarity.capillarity and fiber cross-sectional areas were measured in the hearts of guinea pigs exposed to cold early during growth. twelve male guinea pigs were kept at 5 +/- 1 degrees c for 4-18 weeks. hearts were perfusion fixed via the aorta with a 2.5% glutaraldehyde, 1% formaldehyde-buffered solution, blocks were cut from left (lv) and right (rv) ventricles, post-fixed in oso4, dehydrated and embedded in spurr medium. blocks were cut transversely to fiber orientation, 0.5 micron thick, stained with ...19853156396

flow cytometry and cytology as response indicators to m-vac (methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin and cisplatin).we evaluated 23 patients treated with neoadjuvant methotrexate, vinblastine, doxorubicin and cisplatin for muscle invasive bladder carcinoma with serial bladder wash flow cytometry and serial urinary cytology. the sensitivities of bladder wash flow cytometry and cytology in detecting bladder cancer were 74 and 47 per cent, respectively, based on subsequent diagnosis from biopsy and cystectomy specimens. exclusion of those cases without surface carcinoma increased the sensitivities of bladder was ...20113193503
imaging of the airways by bronchoscintigraphy for the study of mucociliary clearance.a method for functional imaging of the large airways (bronchoscintigraphy) has been developed. it is based on the administration of aerosolised albumin labelled with technetium-99m using a special inhalation technique to produce central airway deposition. the method was evaluated as a measure of mucociliary clearance by recording the movement of radioactivity in the airways of 11 healthy, non-smoking subjects on two separate days. a series of bronchoscintigrams was acquired at five minute interv ...20113194864
function of the striated anal sphincter during straining in control subjects and constipated patients with a radiologically normal rectum or idiopathic megacolon.the function of the striated anal sphincter during defaecation straining was recorded by manometry and electromyography (e.m.g.) in 31 constipated patients who were unable to expel a water-filled rectal balloon with effort. this group was divided on the basis of measurement of colonic diameter into those with megacolon and those with a normal sized colon. the latter group was further divided into those with normal transit and those with slow transit. the results were compared with those recorded ...20113198990
