Focal epithelial hyperplasia is a benign disease which has a chronic course that manifests as characteristic multiple small papules or nodules. They are predominantly found in the oral mucosa, gingiva and tongue. The surface of the lesions is smooth and it varies in size. It is an asymptomatic disease caused by human papillomavirus, affecting mainly children and adolescents. In this report, we ...

1. Mg(2+) or Mn(2+) starvation causes suspensions of Bacillus subtilis strain W 23 to accumulate bound amino sugars that are soluble in trichloroacetic acid. 2. The presence of chloramphenicol or puromycin produces higher intracellular concentrations of amino sugars during Mg(2+) starvation, but neither compound can stimulate the accumulation when Mg(2+) is present. 3. The major component of th...

Cernik, A. A. (1970). Brit. J. industr. Med., 27, 40-42. Determination of lead chelated with ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid in blood after precipitation of protein with perchloric acid. A method is described for the determination of lead in whole blood containing ethylenediaminetetra-acetic acid. Proteins were precipitated by 2-0 M perchloric acid. The ionized lead in the supernatant was chel...

Four different methanotrophs expressing soluble methane monooxygenase produced 2,2,2-trichloroacetaldehyde, or chloral hydrate, a controlled substance, during the oxidation of trichloroethylene. Chloral hydrate concentrations decreased in these cultures between 1 h and 24 h of incubation. Chloral hydrate was shown to be biologically transformed to trichloroethanol and trichloroacetic acid by Me...

The regression of mammary tumor MTW9after resection of mammosomatotropic tumor MtTWS has been studied further. Twenty-four hr after resection of MtTWS, MTW9 DNA was increased while incorporation of thymidine-3H into MTW9 was decreased. Uptake of a-aminoisobutyric acid, glycine, methionine, and possibly phenylalanine into the trichloroacetic acid-soluble fraction of MTW9 slices was reduced 24 hr...

Recovery of gentamicin from renal cortical tissue (assayed by fluorescence polarization immunoassay) was highest (P less than 0.05) when using a sodium hydroxide (NaOH) digestion procedure without homogenization (90.0 +/- 5.4%), followed by homogenization with NaOH digestion (85.8 +/- 7.7%) and homogenization with trichloroacetic acid precipitation (84.4 +/- 3.3%). Simple homogenization recover...

Two efficient and convenient procedures for the synthesis of 6-amino-3-methyl-1,4-diphenyl-1,4-dihydropyrano[2,3c]pyrazole-5-carbonitrile derivatives based on four-component reaction involving ethyl acetoacetate, phenylhydrazine, malononitrile, and various aromatic aldehydes using trichloroacetic acid or ceric sulfate as heterogeneous catalysts in excellent yields and short reaction times have ...
