Transformation of NIH Swiss mouse fibroblasts by a murine sarcoma virus was influenced by the type of carbohydrate in the culture medium. Exposure to D-mannose and 2-deoxy-D-glucose caused a reduction in the number of transformed colonies in vitro and tumor formation in vivo. This is a new type of

Diarrhea and weight loss may accompany the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. We studied 30 patients with the syndrome, 20 of whom had diarrhea and weight loss and 10 of whom did not. Patients with identifiable enteric infections or small intestinal Kaposi's sarcoma were excluded. Malabsorption was

A new Grifola frondosa mutant, M270, was successfully isolated for high production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) using cosmic radiation-induced mutagenesis. We found that the mutant M270 had a clearer and thicker EPS layer (~10 µm) adhering to mycelia than those of its parent strain 265 after Congo

Patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) frequently have diarrhea and weight loss. We prospectively examined the upper and lower gastrointestinal tracts in 22 AIDS patients, although severe medical problems often precluded full evaluation. Ninety-six percent (21 of 22) lost weight,

Ten patients were identified at Jackson Memorial hospital/University of Miami Hospitals and Clinics with enteric coccidial infection due to Cryptosporidium spp. or Isospora belli. All had the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome as manifested by Kaposi's sarcoma or multiple opportunistic infections,

Three new triterpene glycosides, intercedensides A (1), B (2), and C (3), were isolated from the sea cucumber Mensamria intercedens Lampert, which is found in the South China Sea, and their structures have been elucidated by spectroscopic analysis (NMR and ESIMS) and chemical transformations.
