Binding of Griffonia simplicifolia I lectin to rat pulmonary alveolar macrophages and its use in purifying type II alveolar epithelial cells
(Elsevier, 1986-01-23)
We report that the isolectin Griffonia simplicifolia I-B4 isolated from G. simplicifolia seeds binds to rat alveolar macrophages present in frozen sections of lung tissue or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. G. simplicifolia ...
Concurrent expression of procoagulant and plasminogen activator activities by rabbit alveolar macrophages in vitro: Opposite modulating effects of prostaglandin E2
(Elsevier, 1988-09-01)
We examined the effects of arachidonic acid metabolites on the simultaneous expression of procoagulant (PC) and plasminogen activator (PA) activities by rabbit alveolar macrophages. Incubation with lymphocyte-conditioned ...
Use of ipratropium bromide in asthma: Results of a multi-clinic study
(Elsevier, 1986-11-14)
A multi-center, double-blind, 90-day study compared an ipratropium bromide metered-dose inhaler (40 [mu]g four times a day) with a metaproterenol metered-dose inhaler (1,500 [mu]g four times a day) in 164 patients with ...
Role of the polymorphonuclear leukocyte: Interaction with nosocomial pathogens
(Springer-Verlag; Friedr. Vieweg & Sohn Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, 1989-01)
Adult respiratory distress syndrome in neutropenic patients
(Elsevier, 1986-06)
The precise pathophysiologic mechanisms that cause the adult respiratory distress syndrome are unknown. Indirect evidence from human studies and extrapolations from animal models have suggested that phagocytic neutrophils ...
Absence of detectable xanthine oxidase in human myocardium
(Elsevier, 1989-03)
The enzyme xanthine oxidase has been implicated as a generator of toxic oxygen metabolites that contribute to ischemic injury. Because substantial species variability has been demonstrated and because there are minimal ...
Plasma xanthine oxidase activity in patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome
(Elsevier, 1987-03)
Oxygen metabolites have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various types of acute tissue injury. One biologic source of oxygen metabolites is the reaction catalyzed by the enzyme xanthine oxidase. Because we previously ...
A new member of the CAB gene family: structure, expression and chromosomal location of Cab -8, the tomato gene encoding the Type III chlorophyll a/b-binding polypeptide of photosystem I
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 1989-03)
We have previously reported the isolation and characterization of tomato nuclear genes encoding two types of chlorophyll a/b-binding (CAB) polypeptides localized in photosystem (PS) I and two types of CAB polypeptides ...
OXIDANT ACTIVITY IN EXPIRED BREATH OF PATIENTS WITH ADULT RESPIRATORY DISTRESS SYNDROME
(Elsevier, 1986-01-04)
Hydrogen peroxide levels were measured in the breath condensate of 43 patients receiving mechanical ventilation. In 16 patients the mean breath condensate peroxide level was 1[middle dot]68+/-0[middle dot]35 [mu]mol/l on ...
