Enterogastric reflux after various types of antiulcer gastric surgery: Quantitation by 99mTc-HIDA scintigraphy
(1991)
In 28 controls and 142 patients subjected to a variety of antiulcer procedures, the enterogastric reflux (EGR) was quantitated by 99mTc-HIDA scintigraphy and expressed as the EGR index on 229 different occasions. The EGR ...
On the action of the anti-absence drug ethosuximide in the rat and cat thalamus
(1998)
The action of ethosuximide (ETX) on Na+, K+, and Ca2+ currents and on tonic and burst-firing patterns was investigated in rat and cat thalamic neurons in vitro by using patch and sharp microelectrode recordings. In ...
Mapping interleukin enhancer binding factor 2 gene (ILF2) to human chromosome 1 (1q11-qter and 1p11-p12) by polymerase chain reaction amplification of human-rodent somatic cell hybrid DNA templates
(1996)
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is the first lymphokine secreted following T cell activation. Several transcription factors regulate IL-2 gene expression, including the nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT). NFAT acts at the ...
Mutated α-synuclein gene in two greek kindreds with familial pd: Incomplete penetrance?
(1999)
The G209A mutation in the α-synuclein gene has been associated with autosomal dominant PD (ADPD) in a family from Contursi, Italy, and three apparently unrelated Greek families. Several groups around the world failed to ...
Maxillary sinus inflammatory disease: Ultrasound compared to computed tomography
(1997)
Fifty-six patients (age range, 15-79 yr, average, 37.0±18.5 yr), with a clinical and/or radiological diagnosis of acute maxillary sinusitis, were prospectively studied with ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT). The ...
Role of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Uncontaminated Neck Dissections
(1991)
The use of perioperative prophylactic antibiotics in uncontaminated head and neck surgery remains controversial. We performed a retrospective analysis of 192 patients undergoing uncontaminated neck dissections from 1976 ...
Treatment of high risk myelodysplastic syndromes with idarubicin and cytosine arabinoside supported by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)
(1996)
In this prospective study, patients with 'high risk' primary MDS, namely RAEB or RAEBt, were treated with combination chemotherapy (CT) supported by GM-CSF. The induction CT consisted of idarubicin 6 mg/m2 days 1-3 and ...
Epithelium-dependent regulation of airways smooth muscle function. A histamine-nitric oxide pathway
(1998)
The airway epithelium is responsible for the production of a number of arachidonic acid and non-prostanoid inhibitory factors. Epithelium synthesizes nitric oxide (NO) which may be important in regulating the function of ...
Effect of mifepristone on folliculogenesis in women treated with recombinant FSH
(1997)
Objective: To study the mechanism through which mifepristone interrupts folliculogenesis. Design: Normally ovulating women undergoing donor intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment were investigated during two menstrual ...
Improved detection of Dirofilaria repens DNA by direct polymerase chain reaction
(1999)
Diagnosis of human infection by Dirofilaria repens, depends mainly on microscopic evaluation of tissue cross-sections and the macroscopic characteristics of the worm. Tissue degeneration and/or poor specimen preparation ...
