Orthotopic SBT was performed in dogs according to the technique of Lillhey.1 The intestinal absorption of water. sodium (Na). potassium (K). and D-xylose by the graft (jejunal and ileal segments) was evaluated at various time periods after allotransplantation (alJotx) (n = 20; study days 3. 5. 7. and 10); alJotx treated with FK 506. 0.1 to 0.4 m,ykg per day. IV (n = 10: study days 21. :!5. and ...

The transition to non-traditional types of plant raw materials for the production cellulose and based on it is becoming more relevant scientists industry around world. most expedient this use waste from agro-industrial complex in form straw or stalks. During delignification non-wood lignocellulosic by organosolv method, which quite environmentally friendly, spent solutions with a high soluble l...

Brucellosis is an infectious bacterial zoonosis of public health and economic significance. In this paper, a mathematical model describing the propagation of bovine brucellosis within cattle population is formulated. Model analysis is carried out to obtain and establish the stability of the equilibrium points. A threshold parameter referred to as the basic reproduction number $mathcal{R}_{0}$ i...

Different volumes of dead-space gas were collected and analyzed for nitric oxide (NO) content, either immediately after inspiration or after a period of breath holding on clean air or NO mixtures. This allowed calculation of NO equilibrium, NO production, and NO absorption. In seven young, healthy, adult nonsmokers, the mean NO equilibrium values in parts per billion (ppb) were 56 +/- 11 (SE) i...

Antibiotic levels in bone and fat were measured in patients undergoing knee replacement to determine the time that should elapse between intravenous injection and tourniquet inflation. The tissue levels increased progressively with time, and there was wide variation in absorption rate between patients and between the two cephalosporins assessed. Five minutes should probably be left between syst...

We have shown previously that Acanthamoeba myosin-II minifilaments assemble by three successive dimerization steps, forming, progressively, monomers, antiparallel dimers, antiparallel tetramers, and finally the full size octameric minifilament (Sinard, J. H., Stafford, W. F., and Pollard, T. D. (1989) J. Cell Biol. 109, 1537-1548). In the current study, we investigate the kinetics of the assemb...

We tested the effectiveness and safety of i.v. diltiazem in the management of paroxysmal supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in 39 patients, 21 with organic heart disease and seven in heart failure. Fifteen patients presented with supraventricular tachycardia, 12 with atrial fibrillation and 12 with atrial flutter. End points were conversion to sinus rhythm or slowing of the ventricular rate to 1...
