Syphilitic anti-lipoidal antibodies as detected by the standard tests for syphilis (STS) are usually recovered in both yM (19S) and yG (7S) globulin fractions (Davis, Moore, Kabat, and Harris, 1945; Laurell and Malmqvist, 1961; Aho, 1967), whereas substances responsible for biologic false positive (BFP) reactions are found in most instances solely in the yM globulin fraction (Aho, 1968). Syphil...

Antithrombin activities in 30 severely malnourished children and 40 normal children were estimated in clotting tests by thrombin neutralisation as anti-Xa and by a heparin antithrombin assay; and by immunodiffusion as alpha 2-globulin and alpha 1-antitrypsin. The patients' mean alpha 2-globulin was severely depressed, and there were less marked depletions in mean values for thrombin neutralisat...

Corneal allografts, like other foreign tissues, are subject to immunologic attack and rejection. Efforts to prolong graft survival have included the use of antilymphocyte serum and blocking antibodies. In this study antilymphocyte serum was tested as a potential corneal allograftblocking reagent. It has been demonstrated that guinea pig anti-rabbit lymphocyte serum and the gamma globulin fracti...

Rabbit antibovine serum albumin antisera were fractionated by zone electrophoresis on starch, zone ultracentrifugation in sucrose density gradients, and diethylaminoethyl-cellulose chromatography, and were assayed by the passive HA technique. Antisera had at least two antibodies: one associated with a fraction characterized as a gamma-2 globulin with a sedimentation rate of 7.3S and low anionic...

This contribution is aimed at the detailed understanding of lubrication mechanisms within total knee replacement. While Part I focused on experimental investigation, II deals with development a predictive numerical model. Here, simulator was used for direct optical observation contacts between metal femoral and transparent polymer components. Transient dynamic conditions were applied. Mimicked ...

We describe the development of a pediatric outpatient transplant program and our initial experience with autologous and allogeneic transplants performed partially or completely in the outpatient setting. Forty-eight autologous and seven allogeneic transplants have been performed in our institution in the outpatient setting between June 1994 and July 2000. The ablation used for the autologous ou...

pistacia vera l., a member of anacardiaceae family, has been used for sedation and analgesia in traditional medicine. in this study, the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effects as well as acute toxicity of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of p. vera leaves were investigated in mice. the antinociceptive activity was studied using hot plate and writhing tests. the effect of the extracts a...

OBJECTIVE The objective of the study was to investigate the association between maternal Rh D status, prenatal exposure to anti-D immune globulin, and the risk of autism in the offspring. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study among children born from 1995 to 1999 at Kaiser Permanente Northern California hospitals. Cases (n = 400) were children with an autism diagnosis; controls (n = 410) were child...
