| epidural anaesthesia in donkeys. | epidural anaesthesia was tested on 40 donkeys. the second intercoccygeal space was found suitable for satisfactory induction and a dose of 8 to 10 ml of 1 per cent procaine hydrochloride was recommended for inducing posterior epidural anaesthesia and 30 ml of 2 per cent for anterior epidural anaesthesia. | 1975 | 1216437 |
| [micromethod for the ha and hi tests in ornithosis]. | the possibility of using the ha and hi tests in micromethod modifications in ornithosis was studied. the hemagglutinating activity of various antigens was tested. by the employment of the micromethod antihemagglutinins were found in sera from patients, immunized animals (donkey and guinea pigs) as well as from pigeons and ducks. no antibody was found in control sera and sera from tortoises. the results of the ha and hi tests performed by macro- and micromethod were similar. the micromethod is as ... | 1975 | 1216842 |
| relation of antigen-binding cells to immunological memory. | priming of mice with a conjugate of hsa with sheep red cells induced a high level of memory to hsa, with very little antibody production ("pure priming"). hsa specific antigen binding cells in the spleens of the primed mice were assayed by means of a rosette technique, using hsa conjugated to donkey red cells. rosette formation was almost completely inhibited by soluble hsa, thus confirming that the rfc were specific for this antigen. spleens of primed mice contained up to 0.6% rfc, as compared ... | 1976 | 1266674 |
| [the clinical importance of magnesium during neonatal life (author's transl)]. | by atomic absorption spectrophotometry (ass) the magnesium levels in the serum of 50 mothers, their mature healthy infants and the umbilical vein and the umbilical artery were determined. the differences between maternal and neonatal levels and between umbilical vein and umbilical arteries are statistically significant. the results were as follows: antecubital venous blood of the mother 1.41 +/- 0.38 mval/1, umbilical vein serum 1.59 +/- 0.35 mval/1, umbilical artery 1.65 +/- 0.36 mval/1, neonat ... | 1976 | 1269892 |
| insulin-like growth factor binding proteins of equine serum. | ligand blotting analysis of serum from the horse using radiolabelled igf-i revealed a protein at 96 kda which was not present in serum from goat, cow, sheep, deer or donkey. these latter species all displayed five labelled bands in the range 24 to 41 kda. conversely, these were only weakly labelled in serum from the horse. size exclusion chromatography of horse serum pre-incubated with radiolabelled igf-i revealed reduced binding in the 130-kda peak compared with goat plasma, and ligand blotting ... | 1992 | 1282797 |
| a survey of mites on farm animals in libya. | in 1985-1988, 2287 farm animals (cattle, camels, sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, dogs and rabbits) suspected of carrying parasitic mites were examined at 58 farms throughout libya. mites were identified on 1303 of these animals. the commonest parasites on cattle were psoroptes and chorioptes, on camels and sheep were sarcoptes and psoroptes, and on goats were sarcoptes and demodex. infested horses carrier psoroptes or chorioptes, and one donkey carried sarcoptes. otodectes was common on dogs, but ... | 1992 | 1288436 |
| equine infectious anemia virus gene expression: characterization of the rna splicing pattern and the protein products encoded by open reading frames s1 and s2. | the utilization of predicted splice donor and acceptor sites in generating equine infectious anemia virus (eiav) transcripts in fetal donkey dermal cells (fdd) was examined. a single splice donor site identified immediately upstream of the gag coding region joins the viral leader sequence to all downstream exons of spliced eiav transcripts. the predominant 3.5-kb transcript synthesized in eiav-infected fdd cells appears to be generated by a single splicing event which links the leader sequence t ... | 1992 | 1316461 |
| the plasma membrane of epididymal epithelial cells has a specific receptor which binds to androgen-binding protein and sex steroid-binding protein. | the binding of [3h] delta 6-testosterone photoaffinity-labelled rat androgen-binding protein (rabp) has been studied in an enriched fraction of plasma membranes of epithelial epididymal cells in immature (15 days) and adult rats (40 days). the binding was maximal in less than 30 min and more rapid at 4 degrees c than at 34 degrees c. it was calcium and ph dependent. scatchard plots of the binding data gave curvilinear plots with two types of binding sites corresponding to a k(ass1) of 18.2 nm-1 ... | 1992 | 1318734 |
| radioimmunocytochemical localization of corticotropin-releasing factor and adrenocorticotropin in the hypothalamo-hypophyseal system of the rat: effects of adrenalectomy. | various radioimmunocytochemical approaches have been utilized to localize primary antibody-antigen complexes. here we examined the binding properties of three different radioiodinated compounds for their ability to label the antibody-antigen complex, including: donkey anti-rabbit immunoglobulin, donkey anti-rabbit f(ab')2-igg, and a biotinylated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody followed by [125i]-avidin. these probes were used to localize rabbit primary antisera against corticotropin-releasin ... | 1992 | 1318895 |
| specific identification of collagens and their fragments by clostridial and anti-collagenase antibody. | a method specific for identification of collagens irrespective of type, species, or tissue origin, and of their derived fragments of molecular weight more than 10,000, is described. the method is based on the low-temperature affinity between clostridial collagenase and almost all types of collagens as well as on the affinity between collagenase and its antibodies. various collagens or fragments derived from them by treatment with cnbr were separated by sds-page and immobilized onto a nitrocellul ... | 1992 | 1321568 |
| immunokinetics of equine herpesvirus 1 in donkey mares: suppression of secondary cell-mediated response. | to study the immunokinetics of equine herpesvirus 1 (ehv1), donkey mares were immunised with a laboratory strain of ehv1, or with recommended doses of pneumabort-k vaccine (ehv1 army 183 strain, formalin-inactivated, with an oil adjuvant) and a booster was given after three months. humoral immune responses were studied by employing a virus neutralisation (vn) test. a leucocyte migration inhibition test (lmit) was employed for the assay of cellular immune responses. the vn antibody titre reached ... | 1992 | 1335311 |
| construction of a gt polymorphism map of human 9q. | to construct a framework map of human chromosome 9 consisting of highly informative markers, we identified 36 cosmid clones from chromosome 9 that contained long gt repeat sequences. the cosmids were found to cluster on the long arm of the chromosome, particularly in the q32-34 region. thirteen highly informative polymorphisms from 9q were identified, with median observed heterozygosity 0.75 and median calculated heterozygosity based upon allele frequencies of 0.75. these new gt repeat polymorph ... | 1992 | 1339384 |

| adaptation and recovery from adaptation of the auditory nerve neurophonic (ann) using long duration tones. | the time course of the interaction between adaptation and the recovery from adaptation of the auditory nerve neurophonic (ann) responses was examined. the interaction between the process of recovery and the adaptation process of long probe tones which follow a masker, the so called whole tone recovery, was determined for the ann response for different silent intervals between masker offset and probe onset. the auditory nerve neurophonic (ann) reflects the ensemble response of phase-locked firing ... | 1992 | 1429255 |
| in vitro culture of the strobilar stage of echinococcus granulosus of sheep and donkey origin from jordan. | protoscolices of echinococcus granulosus isolated from hydatid cysts of sheep and donkeys in jordan were cultured in vitro using a modified diphasic culture system. protoscolices from these two sources manifested differences in the mode of development, evagination and growth rates. protoscolices isolated from sheep cysts grew in vitro in the polyzoic direction up to the three- to four-segmented mature worms, reaching a length of 2.9 mm. in contrast, donkey protoscolices failed to develop beyond ... | 1992 | 1438153 |
| cutaneous leishmaniasis in western venezuela caused by infection with leishmania venezuelensis and l. braziliensis variants. | between 1975 and 1987, epidemiological studies were carried out in several rural and urban communities in the central part of western venezuela, especially in the state of lara. 115 positive cultures were obtained from human cases and identified by their reactivity patterns to a cross-panel of specific monoclonal antibodies using a radioimmune binding assay; 53 were leishmania venezuelensis and 62 were l. braziliensis. most of these stocks were also characterized by isoenzyme electrophoresis, wh ... | 1992 | 1440772 |
| genetic evidence that epizootic venezuelan equine encephalitis (vee) viruses may have evolved from enzootic vee subtype i-d virus. | an important question pertaining to the natural history of venezuelan equine encephalitis (vee) virus concerns the source of epizootic, equine-virulent strains. an endemic source of epizootic virus has not been identified, despite intensive surveillance. one of the theories of epizootic strain origin is that epizootic vee viruses evolve from enzootic strains. likely enzootic sources of vee virus occur in colombia and venezuela where many of the epizootic outbreaks of vee have occurred. we have d ... | 1992 | 1448915 |
| high sensitivity of human melanoma cell lines to the growth inhibitory activity of mycoplasmal arginine deiminase in vitro. | arginine deiminase (ad) is a potent growth inhibitor for some but not all tumour cell lines in vitro. as ad catalyses the direct conversion of l-arginine to l-citrulline, the ad-sensitivity of various tumour cells might be attributed to the levels of urea cycle enzymes involved in l-arginine biosynthesis. this study demonstrated that human melanoma cells were highly sensitive to the growth inhibitory activity of ad. five melanoma cell lines tested also exhibited reduced argininosuccinate synthet ... | 1992 | 1450673 |
| studies on rhinoestrus purpureus (diptera: oestridae) larvae infesting donkeys (equus asinus) in egypt. iii. pupal duration under controlled conditions. | the pupal duration of rhinoestrus purpureus was studied under variable degrees of temperature and relative humidity (rh). it was found that pupal duration was affected by temperature but not by rh. an increase in the temperature above 22 degrees c decreased the pupal duration: 26-27 days at 22 degrees c, 16-24 days at 27 degrees c, 13-15 days at 32 degrees c. at 37 degrees c, the pupated larvae failed to pupate and died. the deformity ratio of emerged flies was 25-30% at 22-32 degrees c, but it ... | 1992 | 1466135 |
| epidemiological observations on stomach worms of donkeys in morocco. | over two consecutive years, weekly examinations for the presence of nematodes were conducted on 185 stomachs from donkeys originating mainly from the rabat, casablanca and settat regions of morocco. all the animals, except one, were infected by at least one of four helminth species. trichostrongylus axei was found in 93.5%, habronema muscae in 89.7%, h. majus in 85.4% and draschia megastoma in 1.1% of donkeys. most animals were infected by two (23.8%) or three (71.9%) species. high burdens of t. ... | 1992 | 1466146 |
| the amino-acid sequence of two isoforms of alpha-lactalbumin from donkey (equus asinus) milk is identical. | the complete primary structure of donkey alpha-lactalbumin a and b has been determined by sequencing of the peptides obtained after tryptic, glu-c proteinase or cyanogen bromide cleavage. although preparative purification of alpha-lactalbumin by flat-bed isoelectric focusing gave two protein fractions a and b, their amino-acid sequence revealed no differences. donkey alpha-lactalbumin shows two, four and five differences in comparison to the horse alpha-lactalbumin a, b and c. thus donkey alpha- ... | 1992 | 1466791 |
| elevated gene expression of argininosuccinate synthetase in peripheral lymphocytes from systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) patients. | argininosuccinate synthetase (ass) is a rate-limiting enzyme of urea cycle and functions primarily in the liver, whereas ass activity is hardly detected in normal lymphocytes. in this study, we examined the level of ass gene expression in peripheral blood lymphocytes (pbl) from human sle patients by amplification of reverse-transcribed mrna using the polymerase chain reaction. we have demonstrated that (a) approximately 40% of sle patients exhibited 2.5 to 5 times higher expression of ass gene i ... | 1992 | 1467433 |
| molecular evidence for the origin of the widespread venezuelan equine encephalitis epizootic of 1969 to 1972. | venezuelan equine encephalitis (vee) virus is a mosquito-borne pathogen that has caused encephalitis in equine species and humans during sporadic outbreaks in the western hemisphere. the last, and most widespread, vee outbreak occurred in south america, central america, mexico and the u.s.a. (texas) during 1969 to 1972. we have cloned and sequenced the genome of a virulent vee subtype i-ab virus, strain 71-180, isolated in texas in 1971. thirty-four nucleotide differences were detected between t ... | 1992 | 1469368 |
| african horse sickness in spain. | the aetiology, pathogenesis and epizootiology of african horse sickness (ahs) are reviewed with special reference to recent outbreaks in the iberian peninsula. ahs is a highly fatal insect-borne viral disease of equidae. it is caused by an orbivirus (family reoviridae) and nine serotypes are recognised. outbreaks occurred in central spain in 1987 and in southern regions of the iberian peninsula in 1988, 1989 and 1990. all were associated with serotype 4 of the virus, whereas other occurrences of ... | 1992 | 1481352 |
| the psychoanalytic setting as the instrument of the container function. | different settings reveal the operation of different psychical mechanisms; for this reason i try in this paper to take a fresh look at the psychoanalytic setting which underlies the specificity of what we psychoanalysts call psychoanalysis and helps to distinguish it from other forms of therapy--in particular, psychotherapy. in my view, the analyst's creative container function is expressed particularly through the setting. this setting is not an inert vessel, a mere juxtaposition of rules, but ... | 1992 | 1483843 |
