| pregastric esterase and other oral lipases--a review. | the secretion of pregastric esterase and other oral lipases has been detected in 13 species. research on secretion by the human, calf, kid goat, lamb, and rat of pregastric esterase has been significant. secretion by calves is little affected by age or diet but is greater when calves are nipple fed than when pail fed. whole milk sham-fed to calves exhibits immediate, sharp decreases in ph and rennet coagulation time resulting from liberation of free fatty acids by pregastric esterase. bacterial ... | 1977 | 321489 |
| a novel type haem group of cytochrome o from escherichia coli. | the b-type haem groups of cytochrome o have generally been thought to be protohaems. however, we have recently shown that they are of a novel kind, for which we propose the name haem o. on the basis of its pyridine haemochrome spectrum, chromatographic behaviour and molecular mass of 839 da, we suggest that haem o is a haem a-like molecule with the formyl group in position 8 of the latter replaced by methyl, but with retention of the 17-carbon hydroxyethyl-farnesyl side chain in position 2, char ... | 1992 | 1449070 |
| processing of the glycoprotein of feline immunodeficiency virus: effect of inhibitors of glycosylation. | the processing and transport of the envelope glycoprotein complex of feline immunodeficiency virus (fiv) in the persistently infected crandell feline kidney (crfk) cell line were investigated. pulse-chase analyses revealed that the glycoprotein is synthesized as a precursor with an mr of 145,000 (gp145) and is quickly trimmed to a molecule with an mr of 130,000 (gp130). treatment of gp130 with endoglycosidase h (endo h) resulted in a protein with an mr of 75,000, indicating that nearly half the ... | 1991 | 1847441 |
| miniature manipulator with microelectrode for chronic recording of single units from freely-moving animals. | we report a simple recording and stimulating system, a miniature manipulator with a microelectrode (mmm) that can be mounted on animal's skull. the system consists of a miniature manipulator and a microelectrode which are used in one body. several mmms can be implanted simultaneously into the brain as the part of the manipulator is small. with this device, recording of single units from several different cortices is possible from awake and unrestricted animals. | 1991 | 1851979 |

| 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. ... | 2010 | 2923278 |
| renal disease associated with circulating antineutrophil cytoplasm activity. | we report our detailed observations on a group of 30 consecutive patients with renal disease, histologically demonstrated glomerulitis or necrotizing vasculitis, and circulating antineutrophil cytoplasm activity (anca). the annual incidence of anca-related renal disease was seven cases per million population. the sensitivity of serum anca for histologically proved glomerular vasculitis was 79 per cent, with a specificity of 87 per cent. most patients responded to treatment with cyclophosphamide ... | 2005 | 1287705 |
| glomerular electron-dense deposits in childhood iga nephropathy. | an electron-microscopic study of the glomeruli was made on 154 children with iga nephropathy and no evidence of systemic disease, in whom immunofluorescence microscopy had shown diffuse mesangial deposition of iga. mesangial deposits were observed in all but eight children. subepithelial deposits were observed in 40 children and were almost always accompanied by both mesangial and subendothelial deposits. subepithelial deposits were significantly associated with more severe clinical presentation ... | 2011 | 3158115 |
| complete atrio-ventricular block after furosemide. | we report a case of nonfatal complete atrio-ventricular (a-v) block after injection of 125 mg of furosemide by a central vena cava catheter. accidents with this diuretic are very rare but this observation shows that it could induce a-v conduction disturbances. when large quantities of this diuretic must be used, we would recommend a slow injection rate to avoid such accidents. | 2013 | 3711429 |

| lateral mobility of proteins and lipids in the red cell membrane and the activation of adenylate cyclase by beta-adrenergic receptors. | models of beta-adrenergic signal transduction in red blood cell membranes frequently assume that at least one of the membrane-bound components is laterally mobile and distributes the hormonal signal in the membrane plane. however, direct measurements reveal that protein lateral mobility in the red cell membrane is severely restricted. furthermore, the spectrin-actin compartmentalizes the cytoplasmic face of the red cell membrane into a regular array of small elementary areas. these consideration ... | 2010 | 2839357 |

| structural organization of the mouse aspartate aminotransferase isoenzyme genes. introns antedate the divergence of cytosolic and mitochondrial isoenzyme genes. | we have cloned and characterized a mouse cytosolic aspartate aminotransferase (aspat) (ec 2.6.1.1) gene, which is about 32,000 base-pairs long and is interrupted by eight introns. the 5' and 3'-flanking regions, and the exact sizes and boundaries of the exon blocks, including the transcription-initiation sites, were determined. the 5' end of the gene lacks the tata and caat boxes characteristic of eukaryotic promoters, but contains g + c-rich sequences, three putative binding sites for a cellula ... | 1988 | 3379636 |

| immunogenicity of a killed hepatitis a vaccine in seronegative volunteers. | 32 volunteers who lacked antibody to hepatitis a virus (hav) received, at intervals of one month, three injections of a killed vaccine made from hav propagated in diploid human fibroblast cell cultures. in 16 the vaccine was coupled with aluminium hydroxide as adjuvant. the serconversion rates measured by radioimmunoassay, with and without adjuvant respectively, were 13% and 25% at four weeks, 81% and 89% at eight weeks, and 94% and 100% at twelve weeks. four weeks after the third injection all ... | 1989 | 2565998 |
| preserved co2 response in cerebral and muscular blood vessels during cimetidine treatment. | it is known that cimetidine inhibits the hypoxia-induced increase in cerebral blood flow (cfb) in dogs, but the mechanism of this inhibition is not fully understood. since the accepted mechanisms explaining the increase in cbf during hypercapnia are very different from those active during hypoxia, acute hypercapnia was induced in 12 conscious dogs in order to study the cimetidine effect in this condition. six dogs were given i.v. saline (control group) and the other six, i.v. cimetidine (4 mg kg ... | 1991 | 1914439 |

| analysis of the urodynamic parameters in the micturitional pathology of women in old age. | urinary pathology still arouses interest today most especially among those women who are entering old age and especially in relation to the fact that in this age static pelvic changes and trophism of the uro-genital organs occur with greatest frequency. an analysis is presented here of the urodynamic parameters followed in a group of patients affected by this pathology, compared with a control group. | 2009 | 3815836 |
| a rational approach to the investigation of the gallbladder. | a technique for the investigation of suspected non-acute gallbladder disease is described. it is based on properly conducted oral cholecystography (ocg) augmented, when necessary, by ultrasonic examination of the gallbladder (ucg) during the patient's same visit. this regimen has been applied successfully for 5 years; the results of a recent year's work are presented and discussed. only 12.2% of patients required both investigations and, using the ocg technique described, in only 1.1% of cases w ... | 2012 | 3518847 |
