In vivo load measurements on osseointegrated implants supporting fixed or removable prostheses: a comparative pilot study.

Load was measured in vivo on a single terminal abutment cylinder by means of a strain gauge technique. The clinical measurements were made on one female patient (age 62) provided with six implants in the edentulous maxilla. A fixed prosthesis was tested initially, followed by an overdenture supported by a bar connected to the implants. The results indicated that a significant force could be introduced when connecting the framework. Furthermore, measurements showed that compression/tension forces were lower in the overdenture situation. However, the preliminary data also indicated relatively higher bending moments on the implant when the overdenture was loaded.

Self-perpetuating development of encoding biases in person perception.

It was hypothesized that encoding (interpretive) biases may develop in a self-perpetuating manner through biased, self-supportive encoding (even in the absence of any objectively supportive evidence). This process was investigated in 3 experiments with different stimulus materials (matrices of digits, silhouettes of persons, descriptions of personal problems). In the learning phase of each study, Ss nonconsciously acquired some encoding bias. In the testing phase, Ss' encoding of new material was predictably biased, and, consistent with the self-perpetuation hypothesis, the strength of the bias gradually increased over the segments of the material, even though the material did not contain any evidence supportive of the bias. Given the ambiguity of many (particularly social) stimuli, the self-perpetuation process may play a ubiquitous role in the development of interpretive categories and other individually differentiated cognitive dispositions.

[The isolation and characteristics of monoclonal antibodies to the structural proteins of Coxsackie B5 virus].

Five hybridomas secreting monoclonal antibodies (MCA) to Coxsackie B5 virus were generated by fusion of Sp2/0 myeloma cells with BALB/c mouse immune splenocytes. Most MCA belonged to the IgG and one to the IgM class. Out of 4 MCA binding the structural protein VP2, two MCA showed type specificity in neutralization test and cross-reactivity with other enteroviruses, one MCA reacted with all enteroviruses tested, and the one showing type specificity among Coxsackie B group "recognized" an epitope on poliovirus type 1 as well. The MCA belonging to VP4 proved to be Coxsackie B group specific. It was assumed that MCA could be used for studies of the antigenic structure and serodifferentiation of Coxsackie B5 virus.
