Objectives To study the benefit of intraurethral lidocaine jelly instillation before flexible cystoscopic examination regarding patients tolerance to pain compared with the plain lubricant. Research design Randomized prospective study Setting The Outpatient Urologic Clinic at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital Methods We compared the anesthetic effect of 10 cc intraurethral 2 % lidocaine jell...

This study examines the role of neutrophils (PMN) in the pathogenesis of the endothellal lesion induced by a single sublethal dose of endotoxin. It is intended to clarify whether the marginatlon of PMN on endothellum after endotoxin causes intimal injury or is a response to it. Neutropenic rabbits had mean PMN counts of 33/cu mm 72 hr after nitrogen mustard (HN2). They were heparinized and give...

The immunodominant antimitochondrial antibody response in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is directed against the E2 component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC-E2). Based on our earlier observations regarding peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) T cell epitopes, we reasoned that a comparative analysis of the precursor frequencies of PDC-E2 163-176-specific T cells is...

Campylobacter jejuni 81-176 lipooligosaccharide (LOS) is composed of two covalently linked domains: lipid A, a hydrophobic anchor, and a nonrepeating core oligosaccharide, consisting of an inner and outer core region. We report the isolation and characterization of the deepest rough C. jejuni 81-176 mutant by insertional mutagenesis into the waaC gene, encoding heptosyltransferase I that cataly...

The fructan of Streptococcus mutans OMZ 176 was shown to have a levan structure by comparing the chromatographic mobilities of the saccharides produced by partial acid hydrolysis of ghe fructan and known levan and inulin. This was confirmed by using concanavalin A as a lectin in a double-diffusion gel technique.
