immunoelectrophoresis in quality control of veterinary clostridial products. | each year the pharmaceutical industry produces 150-250 batches of anti-clostridial vaccines and sera for veterinary use in the u.k. under medicines act requirements these products must be tested for potency before release to the public, such tests being performed in animals. the ministry of agriculture, as licensing authority, also carries out potency test on representative samples of these products. to avoid unnecessary use of animals we employ immunoelectrophoresis (iep) as a screening test. r ... | 1986 | 3792642 |
[the effect of neythumun in comparison with 2-cyanoethylurea on the white blood count of the rat]. | the stimulation effect of neythymun-sol f+k (nthy) and 2-cyanethylcarbamide (cec) on the leucocytopoesis was studied in 30 wistar rats and a moderate but significant increase in the total number of leucocytes was found. the increase produced by cec didn't prove significantly higher than that by nthy. after 32 d the blood count showed a substantial difference concerning the neutrophils with an increase from 3000 to 9000 without deviation to the left, which was found only under neythymun. this com ... | 1986 | 3797457 |
[neutralization of low molecular weight heparin kabi 2165 by protamine chloride]. | low molecular weight (lmw) heparin kabi 2165 possesses improved pharmacodynamic properties compared with conventional heparin. it is currently investigated in the prophylaxis of thromboembolism. the neutralization of kabi 2165 by protamine chloride was analysed after i.v. injection of both the agent and the antidot in healthy persons. the anticoagulant effects of the lmw heparin on the activated partial thromboplastin time, thrombin, and thromboelastography are completely and immediately suppres ... | 2013 | 3807263 |
immunization with heat-killed pneumococci, but not pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides, improves survival in splenectomized mice. | immunization with pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides (pn ps) is advocated after splenectomy to decrease the risk of overwhelming sepsis. the clinical and experimental evidence for the benefit of immunization after splenectomy is controversial. various reports in the literature have claimed a benefit of immunization after splenectomy, but careful review of methodologies reveals that heat-killed pneumococci (pn) were used to immunize the experimental animals. since we have not been able to prot ... | 1987 | 3807350 |
[surgical indications in the asymptomatic gallstone]. | as long as long-term observations of operated and nonoperated patients with silent gallstones are missing, the question of general, differentiated or absent indication for operation in such cases cannot be answered by facts. to day only by 20% of people with gallstones are operated. 50-70% of those with silent gallstones probably remain free of complaints and symptoms during life. each case of symptomatic cholelithiasis must be operated as soon as possible, but a general indication for operation ... | 2013 | 3807594 |
influence of mouse genotype on responses of central biogenic amines to alcohol intoxication and aging. | dopamine and serotonin responses to various periods of alcohol treatment have been followed in striatum and hippocampus of two inbred strains of mice and related to the effect of aging. a striking strain dependency was noted for chronic alcohol effects and also for senescence. for both neurotransmitters studied the c57bl strain loses tolerance to prolonged alcohol injury earlier than the balb/c strain. this loss of tolerance accompanying aging may be indicative of more widespread changes in cns ... | 1986 | 3814344 |
