localized amyloidosis of the ureter.an unusual case of localized amyloidosis of the ureter is described. suspicion of the condition was first raised during operation when a frozen section was examined. an unnecessary nephrectomy was thus spared. it is a rare condition and awareness of the entity is required to recognise it clinically, radiologically or pathologically. the pathogenesis of localized amyloidosis is briefly discussed.20133588031
changes in sympathetic nerve activity during morphine abstinence in the rat.the aim of the study was to examine sympathetic nerve activity, heart rate and blood pressure during naloxone-precipitated withdrawal reactions in morphine-dependent rats. in two groups of rats, one group conscious and the other anaesthetized with chloralose, renal sympathetic nerve activity (rsna), heart rate (hr) and mean arterial blood pressure (map) were recorded before and during naloxone-precipitated abstinence. the conscious rats showed a biphasic pattern in the withdrawal responses. init ...19873591389
intracellular water and ionic shifts during growth and ageing of rats.as measured by x-ray microanalysis of frozen-dried cryosections, physiological concentrations of phosphorus, na+, k+ and mg2+ show a biphasic age dependence in some compartments of rat hepatocytes, especially in the regions of condensed chromatin associated with the actively transcribed genes. this could be consistent with a reactivation of the protein synthesizing apparatus in old livers. the decrease in intracellular water concentrations in hepatocytes and myocytes during ageing is shown to be ...19873600050
effect of altrenogest and lutalyse on parturition control, plasma progesterone, unconjugated estrogen and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin f2 alpha in sows.to investigate control of parturition time, 154 sows farrowing 220 litters at three locations were treated with altrenogest and lutalyse (pg). the four treatment groups were: 1) no treatment (control group); 2) an im injection of 15 mg of pg at 1000 on d 111, 112 or 113 of gestation (d 0 = first day of estrus and gestation); 3) altrenogest (20 mg x sow-1 x d-1) fed twice daily for 4 d starting on d 109, 110 or 111; and 4) altrenogest and an injection of pg at 1000 on the day after the last feedi ...19873610870

the need to screen all retinoblastoma patients for esterase d activity: detection of submicroscopic chromosome deletions.roughly 5% of all patients with retinoblastoma carry a constitutional chromosome deletion on the long arm of chromosome 13, which confers a prezygotic predisposition to tumour development. as offspring of deletion carriers have a 50% risk of inheriting the predisposition locus it is important to identify deletion carriers. the site of the esterase d gene to the often deleted region offers an objective means of deletion identification. the chromosomes of a patient with unilateral retinoblastoma, ...19873813643

dependence of maltose transport and chemotaxis on the amount of maltose-binding protein.maltose-binding protein (mbp) is essential for maltose transport and chemotaxis in escherichia coli. to perform these functions it must interact with two sets of cytoplasmic membrane proteins, the malfgk transport complex and the chemotactic signal transducer tar. mbp is present at high concentrations, on the order of 1 mm, in the periplasm of maltose-induced or maltc constitutive cells. to determine how the amount of mbp affects transport and taxis, we utilized a series of male signal-sequence ...19853894359
cytochemical reactions in cells from leukemic dogs.leukemic cells from 17 dogs with spontaneous leukemia were stained with leukocyte alkaline phosphatase, alpha naphthyl acetate esterase with and without fluoride, peroxidase, and periodic acid-schiff. cytochemistry was necessary for identification or confirmation of leukemic cell type in most dogs and resulted in changing the light microscopic morphologic diagnosis in eight of 17 dogs. leukemic cell types diagnosed were myelomonocytic leukemia in seven dogs, monocytic leukemia in five dogs, lymp ...19863962077
surgical refinements of the hairline in hair transplant surgery.a hairline placed too low on the forehead is the most common error in hair transplant surgery, and misdirection of grafts is the second most common. correction of these and other errors in this subtle surgery is difficult and challenges the surgeon's artistic talents. in most cases, a natural appearance can be achieved.20083988535
