a stable tracer technique for calcium metabolism studies.a tracer technique using the stable isotope calcium-48 was developed to facilitate studies of human calcium metabolism. small samples of 1 ml serum were used. calcium levels were determined with good precision using neutron-activation analysis after pre-concentration of the serum calcium by oxalate precipitation. the method has sufficient sensitivity to detect induced dilutions of the tracer by administering other less costly isotopes of calcium. the ability to utilize small volumes of sample is ...19882980818
alterations in concentrations of cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate in guinea pig urine during the development of a transplantable leukaemia.cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cgmp) concentrations were measured in urine specimens from guinea pigs before and after transplantation of a leukemia. a transient increase in cgmp concentration occurred 3 days after inoculation which preceded any detectable increase in the white blood cell count. this peak in cgmp concentration was found to be very highly significant when compared with fluctuations in urinary cgmp levels in the guinea pigs from transplantation of the leukemia. inoculation ...19852992765
antinociceptive effect of diisopropylphosphofluoridate: development of tolerance and lack of cross-tolerance to morphine.the irreversible cholinesterase inhibitor diisopropylphosphofluoridate (dfp) causes a naloxone-sensitive antinociceptive effect in laboratory animals. chronic treatment of male mice with dfp (2 mg/kg/day for fourteen days) rendered the animals tolerant to its antinociceptive effect. animals tolerant to dfp were cross-tolerant to the antinociception induced by the cholinergic agonists oxotremorine and nicotine, but no cross-tolerance with morphine was observed. similarly, mice made tolerant to mo ...20102993935
polarized plasma membrane domains in cultured endothelial cells.to determine whether distinct plasma membrane domains exist in endothelial cells, we infected monolayer cultures of macro- and microvascular endothelial cells with enveloped rna viruses known to bud selectively from either the apical or basal surface in polarized epithelial cells. we found that vesicular stomatitis (vsv) and sendai virus emerge asymmetrically from cultured endothelial cells. this provides direct evidence for the existence of polarized plasma membrane domains in vascular endothel ...19852996916

recovery following acute obstruction of the retinal and choroidal circulations. a case history.the authors report a 70-year-old man who presented with a combined obstruction of both the central retinal artery and the lateral posterior ciliary artery that spontaneously reperfused after 4 days of documented ischemia. despite this prolonged period of decreased perfusion, visual acuity improved from light perception to 20/30 with the re-establishment of normal retinal and choroidal blood flow as documented with intravenous fluorescein angiography. the theory of retinal tolerance time to obstr ...19883231917
[fine needle biopsy of the pancreas with computerized tomography control].the results of 96 computed tomography guided percutaneous pancreatic aspiration biopsies were reviewed and compared with the findings at laparotomy or autopsy or with a follow-up of at least one year. in only four instances the follow-up was inadequate and in 29 cases the specimen did not allow a cytologic or histologic diagnosis. of the remaining 67 biopsies 65 were diagnosed correctly and only 2 incorrectly. this corresponds to a sensitivity of 67.7% and a specificity of 97%. in patients with ...20113232439
epithelium-dependent relaxation of guinea-pig tracheal smooth muscle by carbachol.modulation of the effect of carbachol by epithelium on tracheal smooth muscle of guinea-pig was studied by using coaxial bioassay system. the contractile response of the bioassay organ (epithelium-free tracheal smooth muscle of guinea-pig) to carbachol was well maintained along the observation period of 30 min. when the same bioassay organ was taken into epithelium-intact tracheal tube of guinea-pig, a significant relaxation followed the carbachol-induced initial contraction within 30 min which ...19883233050
