Intraoperative pulmonary embolism occurs not only during cemented but also during cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). We determined whether the ROBODOC femoral milling system can reduce intraoperative pulmonary embolism, by using of transesophageal echocardiography and hemodynamic monitoring. We did a prospective clinical trial with 71 patients (75 hips) who were divided into 2 groups: gro...

at each point x in M, then M is called a QR-submanifold of r QR-dimension, where ] denotes the complementary orthogonal distribution to ] in TM (cf. [1–3]). Real hypersurfaces, which are typical examples of QR-submanifold with r = 0, have been investigated by many authors (cf. [2–9]) in connection with the shape operator and the induced almost contact 3-structure (for definition, see [10–13]). ...

Several investigators have demonstrated a sequential synthesis of 19 S and 7 S antibodies upon antigenic stimulation; commonly there is a transient early 19 S response followed subsequently by 7 S production (1-6). The nature of the antigen, however, can influence the kinetics of the 19 S and 7 S antibody response. Thus, certain polysaccharide antigens are known to induce a long lasting 19 S an...

The effect of tetrahydro-9-aminoacridine (THA) and related compounds on ligand binding to the dissociative anesthetic (phencyclidine, PCP) receptor site was assessed using a rat brain homogenate assay. THA displaced the dissociative anesthetic ligand [3H]N-(1-[2-thienyl]cyclohexyl)3-4-piperidine [( 3H]TCP) binding with an IC50 of 26 microM. Other acridine derivatives displayed similar potency a...

T he N M D A class of g lu tam ate receptors have the unique property of binding some agonists, including glutam ate, for a very long period of time. O ne manifestation of this is tha t brief (1 ms) application of g lu tam ate (1 him) produces a slowly decaying current, the m ajor com ponent of which has a time constant of approxim ately 200 ms. Application of g lu tam ate a t low concentration...

The matrix (M) protein of wild isolates of rabies virus such as Tha (M-Tha) was previously shown to be able to interact with RelAp43, a protein of the NF-κB family, and to efficiently suppress NF-κB-dependent reporter gene expression, in contrast with the vaccine strain SAD. Here, we analyze the mechanisms involved in RelAp43-M protein interaction. We demonstrate that the central part of M-Tha,...

Reactions o f photolytically generated SOJ with 2'-deoxyuridine-5 '-phosphate (5 '-dU M P), uridine-5 '-phosphate (5 '-U M P) and thym idine-5 '-phosphate (5'-dTM P) were studied by ESR spectroscopy in aqueous solution under anoxic conditions. From 5'-dU M P and 5 '-U M P the 5',5-cyclic phosphate-6 -yl radicals 10 and 11 were generated (pH 2 -1 1 ) whereas from 5 '-dTM P at .pH 3 8 the 5,6-dih...

Some recent work, no tab ly tha t of Dixon and Elliott , 1 has indicated tha t not all cells and tissues are complete ly cyanide-sensit ive in the sense tha t they reduce their ra te of respiration in the presence of cyanides. Alien ~ has pointed out tha t not all the resp i ra tory exchange in Planaria m a y be inhibited b y cyanides. This has indicated tha t there m a y be other oxidation sys...
