| predominant expression of lambda light chain in adult cases with non-t-cell acute lymphocytic and chronic myelogenous leukemia in lymphoid blast crisis. | the authors investigated cytoplasmic immunoglobulins of the leukemic cells from 20 adult cases with non-t-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (all) and from three cases with chronic myelogenous leukemia in lymphoid blast crisis using immunoelectron microscopy. they also studied these cases using various monoclonal antibodies. of the 23 examined cases, nine were negative for both heavy and light chains of immunoglobulins; the authors defined these as common all. two cases were positive for the mu cha ... | 2007 | 1906773 |
| body composition of low-birth-weight infants determined by using bioelectrical resistance and reactance. | we tested the hypothesis that bioelectrical resistance and reactance are indices of total body water (tbw) and extracellular water (ecw), respectively. infants less than 2500 g in birth weight were studied while less than 24 h old and at 4-7 d of age. tbw (n = 32) was measured by h2(18)o dilution and ecw (n = 34), by bromide dilution. measurements were made by using an impedance plethysmograph from each of four electrode pairs. bioelectrical resistance correlated inversely with tbw (r = -0.683). ... | 2007 | 1858693 |

| regulation of heme biosynthesis in chick embryo liver cells. | according to current evidence heme controls the heme biosynthetic pathway primarily by controlling translocation of inactive pre-ala-s from the cytosol into the mitochondrion, where ala-s is active. a secondary mechanism involves inhibition by heme of transcription of the ala-s gene. porphyrinogenic drugs act by lowering a regulatory "free heme pool" by three different mechanisms: (a) by mechanism-based inactivation of cytochrome p-450 resulting in n-alkylprotoporphyrin formation and ferrochelat ... | 2008 | 2486279 |

| [desinsertions of aortic valve prostheses treated by subcoronary implantation of the valve]. | thirteen patients requiring emergency surgery for desinsertion of their aortic valve prostheses were treated by subcoronary aortic valve grafting, using a procedure based on danielson's method. the particularity characterizing this technique consists in obtaining direct revascularization of the left coronary artery via a coronary sinus approach, thereby reducing the complexity of the surgical operation. all the patients presented valvular ring lesions, associated with aortic root degeneration ac ... | 2009 | 2805927 |
| aluminum-binding protein in dialysis dementia. ii. characterization in plasma by ultrafiltration. | ultrafiltration experiments, using amicon membranes with molecular weight exclusions of 1,000, 10,000 and 30,000 daltons, have revealed that desferal, both in vitro and in vivo, markedly increases aluminum ultrafilterability in plasma from patients with dialysis dementia. ultrafilterability was greater with the 10,000-dalton membrane (60%) as compared with the 1,000-dalton membrane (40%); the difference could be related to the presence of an 8,000-dalton aluminum-binding protein in the 10,000-da ... | 2009 | 2770949 |
