comparison of guinea pig cytomegalovirus and guinea pig herpes-like virus: pathogenesis and persistence in experimentally infected animals.the pathogenesis of guinea pig cytomegalovirus (gpcmv) and guinea pig herpes-like virus (gphlv) in guinea pigs was compared. animals were inoculated with the two viruses by different routes and sacrificed after varying periods of time. gpcmv was consistently isolated from salivary gland 2 weeks postinoculation and thereafter following intraperitoneal or subcutaneous incoulaton. virus was less frequently found in other tissues including blood, spleen, and kidney. intranuclear inclusions were seen ...1976178599
an adrenergic mechanism for visual neuroregulation.studies of the diffuse electroretinogram (erg) and evoked reponses in the optic lobe in the baby chick have shown that epinephrine produces changes in both. epinephrine produces enhancement of the a-wave and depression of the b- and d-waves in both intact and isolated eyes. in the optic lobe it produces enhancement of both components of the evoked response. the presence of epinephrine in the vertebrate retina and the optic lobe of chicks suggests that these changes may reflect the involvement of ...1975178882
analysis of cytomegalovirus genomes with restriction endonucleases hin d iii and ecor-1.cleavage of genomes of eleven human, one simian, and one simian-related cytomegalovirus (cmv) isolate by the restriction endonucleases hind iii and ecor-1 generated reproducible dna fragments. the size range of cmv dna fragments as estimated by contour length measurements in comparison with simian virus 40 form ii dna and by coelectrophoresis with ecor-1 fragments of herpes simplex virus dna varied between 15 x 10(6) and 0.5 x 10(6) daltons. comparison of the cleavage products of each isolate in ...1976178916
criteria for producing high quality animals for research.the criteria for the breeding or purchase of high quality research animals in general, and of dogs, cats, monkeys, rats, mice, guinea pigs, and rabbits were discussed. the reasons for using high quality animals are: economic, accuracy and reproducibility of results, no effects due to the presence of pathogens, and reduction of human health hazards.1976178960

computed tomography of the normal and infarcted myocardium.after intravenous administration of contrast agent, in vitro cardiac scanning showed a significant difference between the attenuation coefficients of the intracavitary blood pool and the myocardial wall, permitting clear delineation of the ventricular cavity. a substantial alteration in hematocrit permitted similar visualization of the intracavitary blood pool-myocardial wall interface. the attenuation coefficient of infarcted myocardium differed sufficiently from that of normal myocardium to re ...1976179347
caudal dislocation of the pons in the adult arnold-chiari malformation: an angiographic evaluation.the position of the pons, determined angiographically, can be related to the clivus and sella. in adult patients with the chiari malformation, a caudal dislocation of the pons is frequently associated with the well known anomalously low position of the cerebellar tonsils. this finding may aid in the angiographic diagnosis of the chiari malformation.1997179349
the complication rate of catheter angiography by direct puncture through aorto-femoral bypass grafts.a search of the literature revealed no documentation of the complication rate associated with percutaneous catheterization of aorto-femoral bypass grafts in the arteriographic evaluation of graft patency. the authors compared the complication rates of 29 consecutive arteriograms performed through grafts (group i) with 40 arteriograms performed on non patients (group ii). neither group had any significant complications, indicating the safety of percutaneous catheterization of the graft site.1997179352

[dynamics of sleep and the waking state after labyrinthine deafferentation].the author carried out studies on awake state and sleep (slow and paradoxal) after lybyrinth deafferentation. the states were evaluated by behavior, eeg, myogram and eye movements. the labyrinth defferentation was performed in combination (chemical and mechanical). bilateral labyrinth deafferentation reduced the duration of the awake state from 30% to 17%, p less than 0.001. the slow sleep was increased at the same time but there was no statistical significance. the parodoxal sleep was due both ...1976179775
activation of thyroid adenyl cyclase by antisera to thyroid plasma membrane preparations.adenyl cyclase was assayed in a series of plasma membrane fractions prepared from bovine thyroids using sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. the activity of adenyl cyclase in the plasma membranes was found to be stimulated several-fold by antisera raised in rabbits against the plasma membranes and by purified igg prepared from these antisera. the data indicate that the antibodies to thyroid plasma membrane manifest properties similar to those of the immunoglobulins long-acting thyroid s ...1976179789
daily variation in concentration of plasma corticosteroid in hypophysectomized rats.a daily variation in the concentration of plasma corticosteroid hormone is present in hypophysectomized rats implanted with pellets of adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) and thyroxine. although acth is necessary to maintain a functional adrenal, and thyroxine is required to permit the expression of the plasma corticosteroid rhythm, a normal daily variation in plasma corticosteroid concentration does not appear to depend on the periodic release of pituitary hormones.1976179796
role of sodium and potassium in aldosterone binding of kidney receptors in the rat.an increase of the sodium concentration produced a diminished binding of labeled aldosterone to kidney receptors in both in vivo and in vitro conditions. the elevation of potassium level did not change the binding capacity of kidney nuclear receptors for aldosterone. hypernatraemia-induced decrease of aldosterone uptake was significant in the nuclear fraction of both medullary and cortical region of the kidney but did not show remarkable changes in the uptake of cytosol fraction. the transfer of ...1975179799
steroid production by quartered and capsular rat adrenal gland in response to haemorrhage.60 min after rapid bleeding (1.5--2.0 per cent of b. w.) both aldosterone and corticosterone production rate by quartered rat adrenals were found to be elevated. however, no difference was observed in the rate of aldosterone and corticosterone production by capsular adrenals of sham operated and hypovolaemic rats. corticosterone production rate by decapsulated adrenals was much more higher after haemorrhage than in the control group. the same alterations could be observed incubating adrenal tiss ...1975179800
electron-spin-resonance studies of a chlorpromazine derivative bound to dna fibres.solutions of dna, spin-labelled with the radical cation of chlorpromazine, were used to produce oriented species of fibres pulled from a gel obtained by ultracentrifugation. the electron spin resonance spectra, recorded at x and q band frequencies, are given for both gel and fibres; 14n hyperfine coupling parameters were obtained by computer fitting. the spectra are explained in terms of a strongly immobilized label having one principal hyperfine tensor axis parallel to the axis of the dna helix ...1976179819
cushing's syndrome or obesity. bilateral adrenal hyperplasia in a boy 10 years of age.a rare case of the cushing syndrome, due to bilateral adrenal hyperplasia is described. because of generalized obesity, normal height, normal bone age and family history of obesity, a boy 10 years of age had at first been misdiagnosed as simple obesity. a reduction in height velocity, advancement of bone age and development of precocious pseudopuberty led to a more detailed biochemical investigation and to the correct diagnosis. the clinical picture can be misleading in the differential diagnosi ...2003179822

hypoglycemia in diabetics.hypoglycemia in diabetes can be divided into 1) spontaneous hypoglycemic reactions due to absolute or relative overproduction of endogenous insulin or some other blood glucose-lowering substance, as in islet cell adenoma or carcinoma, latent or protodiabetic conditions, (extrapancreatic) tumors and pituitary and/or adrenal disorders; and 2) hypoglycemia caused by exogenous, i.e. therapeutic, measures. the problem of hypoglycemia in insulin-treated diabetics is far from being solved. as revealed ...1984179924
reversible inactivation of phenylalanine hydroxylase by catecholamines in cultured hepatoma cells.phenylalanine hydroxylase in reuber h4 hepatoma cell cultures can be rapidly inactivated by the addition of epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, or 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, in order of decreasing effectiveness, to the culture medium. the enzyme was 50% inactivated in 1 hour by 25 mum (r)-epinephrine or 45 mum (r)-norepinephrine in the medium. high concentrations of epinephrine caused a 70% inactivation in 15 min. phenylalanine hydroxylase appears to be reversibly inactivated by epinephrine ...1976180004
testosterone-estradiol-binding globulin in patients with turner's syndrome: effects of estrogens and acute growth hormone administration.the tebg activity of plasma from patients with turner's syndrome was measured quantitatively using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. human growth hormone administration did not significantly change the plasma tebg levels. however, oral replacement therapy with estrogens elevated plasma tebg within 3 days; after 9 days these levels reached a maximum of three- to four-fold greater than that observed at a time prior to therapy.1976180042

the process of cholesterol cholelithiasis induced by diet in the prairie dog: a physicochemical characterization.the rapid induction of cholesterol cholelithiasis in a new experimental model, the prairie dog, has recently been reported by two groups. in this model they were able to induce gallstones in as brief a period as 2 weeks, using a 1.2 per cent cholesterol diet. this unprecedented time intensity or telescoping of the induction process provided a unique opportunity for observation of physicochemical changes occurring rapidly over a short period of time and to correlate these with degree of biliary c ...1976180214
study of the effect of acth and cortisol on the plasms lipids in man using thin-layer chromatography.this is a study of the action of acth and cortisol on plasma lipids using thin-layer chromatography and evaluation by densitometry. we have studied the action of 50 i.u. of acth in eight healthy individuals. we found an increase of free fatty acids after four hours and of triglycerides and esterified cholesterol after six hours. free cholesterol levels declined after another six hours, the decrease becoming more intense after twenty-four hours. after twenty-four hours lecithin underwent a declin ...1976180223
enhancement of polysome formation and protein synthesis in sendai virus-infected cells.a considerable stimulation of total protein synthesis in sendai virus-infected chicken fibroblasts occurred 18 h after infection. the stimulation of synthesis was shown to be due mainly to the synthesis of virus-specific proteins; the synthesis of host proteins was either unchanged or slightly enhanced. the level of functional polyribosomes in virus-infected cells was also increased as compared to that in mock-infected control while the number of free 80s ribosomes was proportionally decreased.1976180240
characterization of two particle types of calf rotavirus.two distinct types of rotavirus particle were isolated in caesium chloride density gradients. the higher density particle banded at 1-38 g/ml and measured 55 +/- 0-4 nm in diameter while the less dense particle banded at 1-36 g/ml, measured 66 +/- 0-4 nm in diameter and appeared to possess an extra outer capsid layer. some forms intermediate between the two types were seen. since the two particles had a similar but not identical morphology and polypeptide composition, they were considered to be ...1976180243

relationship between receptor and mammary tumour virus production after stimulation by glucocorticoid.a short exposure of primary cultures of mouse mammary tumour cells to glucocorticoids results in at least a three-fold stimulation of mammary tumour virus (mtv) production. specific interaction of glucocorticoids with the cytoplasmic and nuclear receptors can also be demonstrated. the biological potency of various steroids to stimulate mtv is related directly to the retention of the steroid-receptor complex in the nuclei. progesterone has a high affinity for the cytoplasmic receptor, is not reta ...1976180430
influence of bcg vaccination on the primary and transplantable hamster tumors induced by sv40 and on the specific sv40 virus-induced antitumor immunity.the main purpose of the study was the estimation of the effect of bcg vaccination and bcg in the combination with the specific immunization with sv40 on the incidence of primary and growth of transplantable sv40-induced tumors in syrian hamsters. different bcg vaccine preparations containing 60--100 millions of viable mycobacteries per 1 mg were used. it has been demonstrated that one and two intradermal injections of bcg (0.25 mg per animal) during the latent period in syrian hamsters inoculate ...1976180441
effect of nucleosides on the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins in ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells.the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins in whole cells of ehrlich ascites carcinoma was inhibited by adenosine and by several natural-adenosine-related compounds. the inhibitory effect of adenosine was more pronounced than that of other nucleosides tested (guanosine, inosine, cytidine, uridine and thymidine). the synthetic processes examined were only moderately inhibited by adenine nucleotides (atp, adp, amp, nad, cyclic 3',5'-amp and its dibutyryl derivative). respiration and aerobic glyco ...1986180442

effect of human immune serum globulin on infectivity of hepatitis a virus.a standard preparation of immune serum globulin containing a titer of immune adherence hemagglutination hepatitis a antibody of 1:3,200 neutralized the infectivity of ms-1 serum. an inoculation of ms-1 serum was followed by the following evidence of hepatitis a infection in eight of 14 seronegative recipients: (1) abnormal values for serum aspartate aminotransferase after an incubation period of 29-42 days, and (2) no detectable immune adherence hemagglutination hepatitis a antibody (less than 1 ...1976181498
growth on d-arabitol of a mutant strain of escherichia coli k12 using a novel dehydrogenase and enzymes related to l-1,2-propanediol and d-xylose metabolism.escherichia coli k12 cannot grow on d-arabitol, l-arabitol, ribitol or xylitol (reiner, 1975). using a mutant of e. coli k12 (strain 3; sridhara et al., 1969) that can grow on l-1,2-propanediol, a second-stage mutant was isolated which can utilize d-arabitol as sole source of carbon and energy for growth. d-arabitol is probably transported into the bacteria by the same system as that used for the transport of l-1,2-propanediol. the second-stage mutant constitutively synthesizes a new dehydrogena ...1976181526
analysis of herpesvirus dna substructure by means of restriction endonucleases.the mol. wt. and molar ratios of the hind iii and hpa i fragments of hsv-1 dna and the eco ri fragments of hsv-2 dna have been determined. results obtained suggest that dna isolated from both hsv-1 and hsv-2 consists of molecules with four different sequence arrangements which are present in similar amounts. our explanation of the cleavage patterns of these four genome arrangements with the different restriction enzymes is presented. some of the possible implications of these four genome arrange ...1976181534
assessment of effect of starvation, glucose, fatty acids and hormones on alpha-decarboxylation of leucine in skeletal muscle of rat.the present investigations of rates of oxidation of [u-14c] or [1-14c]leucine by homogenates of gastrocnemius muscle of fed and starved rats have indicated that 14co2 production is mainly the result of alpha-decarboxylation of leucine in this tissue. this incomplete oxidation was not the result of imparied tricarboxylic acid cycle since the oxidation of palmitate proceeded to completion within the experimental conditions. in the subsequent studies, the effect of altered nutrition and metabolic f ...1976181544
comparative membrane microviscosity of fish and mammalian rhabdoviruses studied by fluorescence depolarization.the microviscosity of the hydrophobic region of the membrane of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus was determined using fluorescence depolarization analysis of the probe 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene and was found to be much lower at 37 c than that of another rhabdovirus, vesicular stomatitis virus. however, the microviscosity of this fish virus at 18 c, the temperature at which it was grown, corresponded to the microviscosity of vesicular stomatitis virus at 37 c. data obtained with the fi ...1976181597

delayed clearance of chylomicron remnants following vitamin-a-containing oral fat loads in broad-beta disease (type iii hyperlipoproteinemia).chylomicron "remnants" are formed by the selective removal of triglyceride catalyzed by lipoprotein lipase. to investigate a possible defect in the clearance of these remnants in the pathophysiology of broad-beta disease (type iii hyperlipoproteinemia), subjects with this disorder and comparison subjects with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia (and type iv lipoprotein patterns) ingested an oral fat load (corn oil: cocoa butter, 1:1, 50 g/sq m) containing retinyl ester, 100 mg, with or without 15 mu ...1981181657
the effect of bacterial infections on ketone concentrations in rat liver and blood and on free fatty acid concentrations in rat blood.the concentrations of cytoplasmic lactate and pyruvate and the nad+/nadh ratio and the concentrations of mitochondrial acetoacetate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and the nad+/nadh ratio were determined in normal, fed, and fasted rats, and in rats infected with streptococcus pneumoniae, francisella tularensis, and salmonella typhimurium. the various infections were found to have little or no effect on the cytoplasmic parameters. in normal rats, fasting caused a marked increase in blood and hepatic keton ...1976181658

interaction of digitoxigenin with lecithin membranes.the binding of digitoxigenin to lecithin model membranes was investigated by application of electron spin- and nuclear magnetic resonance methods. a digitoxigenin spin-label derivative was found to bind specifically to the pseudohexagonal rigid lattice of lecithin membranes. the binding is accomplished by some of the structural features which are required for the biological activity of cardiac glycosides. digitoxigenin has a procooperative effect on dipalmitoyl-lecithin membranes. the induction ...1976181688
experimental myasthenia due to alpha-bungarotoxin.neuromuscular transmission was studied electrophysiologically in rabbits intoxicated by alpha-bungarotoxin, a specific inhibitor of acetylcholine receptor. the findings consisted of a slight reduction in amplitude of single evoked muscle action potentials, a decrement in amplitude of successive evoked muscle action potentials post-tetanic potentiation and exhaustion, edrophonium reversal, and no change of muscle action potentials evoked by direct stimulation of the muscle. these were similar to ...1976181695

a protein-binding assay for direct determination of adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate in amniotic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, plasma, and urine.an adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic amp)-binding protein was isolated from bovine skeletal muscle. this preparation showed maximum binding capacity for cyclic amp at the physiological ph of amniotic fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, and plasma and had a high association constant of 1.4x10(9) 1/mol. this preparation of binding protein, together with albumin and edta in the assay buffer, gave a sensitive and specific competitive protein-binding assay that permitted direct determination of cyclic am ...1976181838
[ligation of lymphatic ducts in treatment of arteriosclerosis. 550 operated cases reported over a period of 9 years].in all diseases where there is an important loss of lymph, e.g. chylothorax, chyloperitoneum, exsudative enteropathy chyloduodenal fistula, we observed not only a fall in the serum proteins and calcium, but also a fall in lipids and cholesterol. we first carried out ligature of the lymphatic ducts in numerous dogs. since 1966, we have carried out this ligature in 550 arteriosclerotic patients, aged less than 52 years. the metabolic changes observed over a period of 9 years were very marked. clin ...1976181846

[aujezky's disease in the field and vaccination against the disease (author's transl)].a rather extensive outbreak of aujeszky's disease in the area served by the above veterinarians is reported. of 252 pig-breeding farms, eighty-two were contaminated. the other herds (170) were partly (81) vaccinated against the disease with the bartha strain. unlike de non-vaccinated group, the immunized herds showed few of any losses. in view of this fact it is concluded that aujeszky's disease vaccination is a useful procedure (even in a contaminated environment).1976181864
