Obstructive jaundice due to a chlorinated hydrocarbon in breast milk

A 6-week-old breast-fed infant had obstructive jaundice and hepatomegaly. When a dry-cleaning solvent, tetrachloroethylene, was detected in the mother's milk and blood, breast-feeding was discontinued. Rapid clinical and biochemical improvement followed. The child grew normally and had normal liver function during 2 years of follow-up.     

Maturation of ribosomes in yeast. II. Position of the low molecular weight rRNA species in the maturation process

This paper describes a study of the physico-chemical and radioimmunological properties of three antialdosterone antisera which permitted practical conclusions to be drawn. By its high degree of specificity, anti-aldo-3-oxime-BSA constitutes the most useful antiserum for the clinical assay of aldosterone. The principal advantage of this antiserum is that it allows both urinary and blood aldosterone radioimmunoassay without the necessity of including a chromatographic step. No problems arise with the blanks. This work also includes the study of two anti-deoxycorticosterone antisera. The aldosterone and deoxycorticosterone values, obtained from normal subjects under various physiological conditions, are in agreement with the values given in the literature.     

Ultrasonography of renal sinus lipomatosis

Gray scale B-scans in renal sinus lipomatosis show a variety of features which must be differentiated from clinically significant pathological processes. Normal kidneys show dense homogeneous central echoes. In renal sinus lipomatosis, however, the central echoes are divided and become more sparse (Type I), interspersed with small relatively echo-free areas (Type II), or outline a single relatively echo-free area resembling a mass (Type III). In contrast to similar features in hydronephrosis or multiple cysts, the relatively echo-free areas in lipomatosis are ill-defined and do present several weak internal echoes.     

The maximum surgical blood order schedule and surgical blood use in the United States

The outdating of units of blood can be reduced by decreasing the amount of time they spend in an assigned or crossmatched status. This reduction can be achieved in a hospital by establishing a maximum surgical blood order schedule (MSBOS) which reduces the excessive number of units of blood crossmatched preoperatively for patients undergoing elective surgery. The various steps which occurred in the development of a MSBOS in a large general hospital are detailed and the projected reduction in the number of crossmatched units which can be achieved with the MSBOS is illustrated. illustrated. The projected number of units of blood transfused to patients during their hospitalization for 50 common primary surgical procedures in the United States during 1974 is presented as a basis for defining maximum blood orders for each procedure.     

凝胶注模成型制备医用多孔钛植入材料及其性能

应用一种新的近净成型技术——凝胶注模成型技术，成功制备大尺寸、复杂形状医用多孔钛人造骨替代材料，并研究了凝胶注模成型工艺参数对浆料流动特性、坯体强度及烧结体孔隙、力学性能的影响。研究结果表明：预混液中有机单体的浓度、单体／交联剂比例以及固相含量是决定钛粉浆料表观粘度、Gelcasting坯体强度的重要参数；对于医用多孔钛植入材料的凝胶注模成型工艺，适合的顸混液单体浓度为30％（质量分数），单体，交联剂比例为120：1，浆料固相含量为34％（体积分数）；1100℃保温1．5h是凝胶注模成型多孔钛较为适合的烧结工艺路线；所制得孔隙度46．5％、开孔隙度40．7％多孔钛的抗压强度158．6MPa、弹性模量8．5GPa，与自然骨基本匹配，适合作为人造骨替代材料。

Structure of the 3'-hairpin of the TYMV pseudoknot: preformation in RNA folding

The solution structure of an RNA-hairpin present in the pseudoknot, which is found at the 3'-terminus of turnip yellow mosaic virus genomic RNA, has been solved by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The loop, which contains the sequence 5'-GGGUCA-3', was found to be highly structured and, contrary to expectations, does not attain its stability through GA or GC base pair formation but by triple interactions between the tilted adenosine and the minor groove sides of the first two guanosines. Interestingly, a very similar conformation was found for the cognate pseudoknot, implying that the 3'-hairpin is preformed for folding into a pseudoknotted structure. These findings suggest a mechanism of 'predetermined-fit' as a principle in RNA folding.     

一种新型含硅拒水剂的合成与应用

以甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)、丙烯酸丁酯(BA)、γ-甲基丙烯酰氧丙基三(三甲基硅氧烷)硅烷(TRIS)等为主要原料,采用半连续乳液聚合法,合成了具有核壳结构乳胶粒子的阳离子型含硅拒水剂。通过纳米粒度-Zeta电位分析仪、接触角(CA)、红外光谱(FT-IR)、透射电镜(TEM)及热重分析(TG)等手段研究了粒子的核壳形貌结构和固化后树脂的热稳定性等性能,然后考察了不同硅含量和不同浓度拒水剂对织物拒水性的影响。结果表明,有机硅单体参与了聚合,所合成乳胶粒具有明显的核壳结构,平均粒径为100nm。当硅含量最低为2%(占壳单体的质量分数)、有效浓度为2%,整理后的织物对水的接触角可达到135.5°。
