## Abstract Surgery or trauma often results in restrictive adhesions around joints or tendons that cause severe functional impairment. The formation of adhesion is essentially a fibrogenetic process; therefore, peptide growth factors, such as transforming growth factorβΞ², are assumed to play centra
The opsonic activity of 60 ascitic fluids from 47 patients was measured using a standard opsonophagocytic assay. Curve analysis of the opsonic activity compared to the ascitic fluid concentration of total protein, total hemolytic complement, CS and C, yielded correlation coefficients of 0.84 (p < O.
## Abstract Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a human carcinogen, based on sufficient epidemiological evidence. DES is mainly metabolized to its catechol, 3β²βhydroxyDES (3β²βOHβDES), which can further oxidize to DESβ3β²,4β²βquinone (DESβ3β²,4β²βQ). Similarly to estradiolβ3,4βquinone, the reaction of DESβ3β²,4β²
## Abstract Heterocyclic amines present in cooked foods are known to produce colon tumors in F344 rats at a high incidence, indicating the possibility of involvement of __ras__ gene activation in colon carcinogenesis in rats as in humans. We examined mutations at codons 12, 13, and 61 of the Kiβ__r
