high speed liquid chromatography, 14c-radioassay and spectrophotometry for measuring antipyrine plasma half-life in rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta).6 male rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta) were treated with 14ch3-n-antipyrine (15 mg/kg, i.v.). antipyrine plasma half-lives (aph) were determined using hslc, radiometric, and spectrophotometric methods. aphs obtained by hslc analysis of plasma extracts were lower than radiometric and spectrophotometric determinations. the three procedures were investigated to determine if coextraction of metabolites might be responsible for differences in aph. all three solvent systems extract significant quantit ...197898774
experimental spinal cord trauma, ii: blood flow, tissue oxygen, evoked potentials in both paretic and plegic monkeys.graded clinical motor deficits were produced in a series of rhesus monkeys subjected to experimental spinal cord trauma from a variety of impact loads. an argon washout technique was used to measure spinal cord blood flow; tissue oxygen carbon dioxide, and somatosensory evoked potentials (seps) were also monitored. each animal received a clinical grade and, after a week of study, the spinal cords were removed for histopathological grading. blood flow in paraplegic animals was significantly decre ...197898856
experimental spinal cord trauma, iii: therapeutic effect of immobilization and pharmacologic agents.a wide variety of pharmacologic agents has been suggested to serve as therapeutic adjuncts in the management of acute spinal cord trauma. the present study was conducted to determine what effect, if any, these agents have when they are added to immobilization of the spinal column, the most widely used clinical measure. rhesus monkeys were subjected to different levels of experimental spinal cord injury with and without subsequent immobilization by means of a figure of eight ligature. in the cont ...197898857
an ontogenic study of the acute inflammatory response in the fetal rhesus monkey. ii. the mediation of increased vascular permeability by histamine, compound 48/80 and bradykinin.vascular permeability as a function of age was evaluated quantitatively and morphologically in skin of fetal rhesus monkeys given vasoactive mediators. the response was examined at 90, 120 or 150 days of gestation or at birth and compared to the response of yearling rhesus monkeys. skin sites were challenged with histamine, compound 48/80 or bradykinin. evans' blue and horseradish peroxidase were used as markers of vascular integrity. evans' blue was quantitated spectrophotometrically. vascular ...197898895
[the question of the validity of haptoglobin/g-streptococci relations in nonhuman sera].the relationship between haptoglobin type and the agglutinability of some group g streptococci, which was observed in humans, could also be demonstrated in animal sera. in humans the haptoglobin type hp 1-1 is correlated with a lacking or very low agglutinability. sera of 10 rhesus monkeys showed hp-type 1-1 and agglutinated the streptococci only to dilutions of the serum up to 1:4. the sera of 48 pigs contained an hp 1-1 like type and a streptococcus agglutination titer of max. 1:10. seven ahap ...197798943
determination of disaturated lecithin in rhesus monkey amniotic fluid as an index of fetal lung maturity.although increased concentrations of total lecithin in amniotic fluid allow prenatal assessment of fetal lung maturation, it has become clear that routine use of the l/s index may lead to a substantial number of inaccurate predictions. since disaturated lecithin (dl) is a more specific marker of pulmonary surfactant than total lecithin, we developed a convenient method for measuring this phospholipid in amniotic fluid, and then evaluated its level in pregnant rhesus monkeys of 120 to 163 days of ...197899039

histochemical studies on the morphology of the golgi apparatus and its relation to catecholamine biosynthesis in the locus coeruleus of rhesus and crab-eating monkeys.detailed histochemical studies have been conducted on the distribution of thiamine pyrophosphatase (tppase), l-gulonolactone oxidase (glo), and nad-linked xylitol dehydrogenase (xdh) in every component of the locus coeruleus (lc) of healthy adult male rhesus and crab-eating monkeys in order to clearify the morphology of the golgi apparatus (ga) and its relation to biosynthesis of catechol-amines in this special nucleus of the primate (na nucleus a 6 as defined in the rhesus monkey by german and ...197899950
lumbar spondylectomy in the subhuman primate.removal of the 2nd or 3rd lumbar vertebrae (or both) has been accomplished in the subhuman primate (macaca mulatta). variations between this animal and the dog in posture, vertebral column anatomy, and spinal cord blood supply made no apparent difference in the results when compared with those in previous experiments. all macaques were able to clinb and to use their hind legs in a normal manner within 3 days after surgical operation. once hair had regrown over the surgical incision, persons not ...1978100028
rosette formation by human lymphoid cells with monkey red blood cells.the present paper describes a study on rosette formation by human lymphoid cells with monkey erythrocytes (mrbc) obtained from two species: african green monkey (cercopithecus aethiops) and rhesus monkey (macaca mulata). all the lymphocyte preparations obtained from peripheral blood, tonsils, thymocytes, bone-marrow and spleen biopsies formed rosettes in variable proportions with erythrocytes obtained from these two monkey species tested. cells of established lymphoblastoid cell lines characteri ...1978100044
localization and detection of visual stimuli following superior colliculus lesions in rhesus monkeys.rhesus monkeys were trained to fixate a central stimulus and to detect and localize a 50 msec light flash presented 6-80 degrees on either side of the central stimulus. following large lesions of the superior colliculus, they showed persistent deficits in localizing flashes presented 43-80 degrees from the fixation stimulus. however, they were not consistently impaired when the flashes were presented more centrally, and their performance with peripheral stimuli improved when the stimulus duratio ...1978100175
[animal experimental tests of a new filling material (isocap)].an experimental investigation with animals (rhesus monkeys) concerning pulp tolerance to two premeasured dosages of calcium hydroxide cement (reocap and reocap-e) as well as a pre-measured dosage of filling material (isocap) in an injection capsule was carried out (78 class v cavities). as with the negative controls, a very slight reaction, or none at all, developed in response to the two calcium hydroxide cements and the new filling material, with and without application of capping material. wh ...1978100305
cerebellar regulation of phonation in rhesus monkey (macaca mulatta).five rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta) were trained to emit a "coo" vocalization with a duration of at least 500 msec. after stable performance was achieved cerebellar lesions were introduced, and various pre- and postlesion measures of phonation and of laryngeal emg activity were compared to assess the effects of the lesions. the phonatory changes were interpreted with respect to possible laryngeal or respiratory modifications. the relation between fundamental frequency and intensity of phonation ...1978100336
conflicting visual-vestibular stimulation and vestibular nucleus activity in alert monkeys.in alert rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta) neuronal activity of vestibular nuclei was recorded during pure vestibular and conflicting visual-vestibular stimulation. pure vestibular stimulation consisted of rotating the monkey about the vertical axis in complete darkness. during conflicting visual-vestibular stimulation the monkeys were rotated in the light within a vertically striped cylinder mechanically coupled to the turntable. the conflict is that although the monkey is accelerated, there is n ...1978100338
histochemical localization of cholinesterases in the neural tissue of the pineal in the rhesus monkey.the neural tissue of the monkey pineal contains both acetyl and butyryl cholinesterases. acetylcholinesterase was localized in the cisternae of the nuclear membrane, rough endoplasmic reticulum, on the plasma membrane of the neurones, and on the axolemma of both non-myelinated and myelinated fibres. the enzyme was not found in the axosomatic or axo-dendritic synapses. it is therefore suggested that the pineal neurones have a cholinergic function rather than a cholinoceptive one.1978100342
intercellular junctions in the ciliary epithelium.the fine structure of the intercellular junctions in the ciliary epithelium of rhesus monkeys and rabbits was studied with conventional electron microscopy of thin-sectioned specimens and the freeze-fracturing technique. in the rhesus monkey, a zonula occludens, zonula adhaerens, gap junctions, and desmosomes interconnect the nonpigmented cells, whereas gap junctions, puncta adhaerentia, and desmosomes connect pigmented to nonpigmented cells, and pigmented cells to one another. in the rabbit, de ...1978100466
pigment epithelial windows and drusen: an animal model.aging rhesus monkeys, both controls and those undergoing long-term administration of investigational oral contraceptive steroids, developed widespread hyperfluorescent dots at the posterior pole. the dots were considered to represent drusen. histologic (including electron microscopic) study showed the "drusen" in some of the animals to be almost exclusively pigment epithelial windows produced by a lipoidal degeneration of the pigment epithelial cells. the experiment provided a fortuitous model f ...1978100467
identification of rickettsia rickettsii in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues by immunofluorescence.with slight modification of a trypsin digestion technique, rickettsia rickettsii were demonstrated specifically by immunofluorescence staining in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections from a human, rhesus monkey, and guinea pig with rocky mountain spotted fever and in infected membranes from a chicken embryo. tissues were cut at 4 micron and, using geltain as a tissue adhesive, were hydrated in a routine manner. sections were then digested in refrigerated 0.1% trypsin for 16 h, washe ...1978100509
quantitative multiregional csf kinetics using serial, metrizamide enhanced computed tomography.two rhesus monkeys studied by serial metrizamide (amipaque) enhanced computer tomography (ct) imaging were used to quantitatively analyze cerebrospinal fluid (csf) kinetics in multiple anatomical regions. time--density curves were generated for the cisterna magna, suprasellar cistern, quadrigeminal cistern, and sylvian fissure, if clinical, biochemical, and routine static ct scanning indicate a profile suggesting normal pressure hydrocephalus, then csf kinetics may be quantitatively and dynamica ...1978100534

hypophysial responses to continuous and intermittent delivery of hypopthalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone.in rhesus monkeys with hypothalamic lesions that abolish gonadotropic hormone release by the pituitary gland, the constant infusion of exogenous gonadotropin-releasing hormone (gnrh) fails to restore sustained gonadotropin secretion. in marked contrast, intermittent administration of the synthetic decapeptide once per hour, the physiological frequency of gonadotropin release in the monkeys, reestablishes pituitary gonadotropin secretion. this phenomenon is attributable to the pattern of gnrh del ...1978100883
toxicology studies of linear alkylbenzene sulphonate (las) in rhesus monkeys. ii. the disposition of [14c] las after oral or subcutaneous administration.the disposition of radioactivity has been studied after administration of single and repeated oral or subcutaneous doses of [14c] las to rhesus monkeys. after single 30 mg/kg oral doses the radioactivity was rapidly excreted, mostly during the first 24 h. means of 71.2% and 23.1% of the dose were excreted in the urine and faeces respectively during 5 days. similarly, after single 1 mg/kg subcutaneous doses, means of 64.1% and 10.9% were excreted in urine and faeces respectively during 5 days, mo ...1978100903
influence of a single blood transfusion on kidney allograft survival in unrelated rhesus monkeys.a prospective study was performed in moderately immunosuppressed unrelated rhesus monkeys to investigate the influence of a single transfusion on kidney allograft survival. the recipients received either whole citrated blood or plasma-free transfusates consisting of pure red blood cell or lymphocyte suspensions. except for one group, in which blood and kidney donors were optimally matched, transfusions and kidney allografts were disparate for two to four a/b locus antigens with the recipients. t ...1978100915
descending monoaminergic pathways in the primate spinal cord.the distribution of monoamine axons and terminals within the spinal cord of a primate (macaca mulatta) was studied with the falck-hillarp histofluorescence technique for the demonstration of biogenic amines. catecholamine and indoleamine varicosities appeared qualitatively similar to those previously reported for the rat although the indoleamine terminals were difficult to visualize and were not studied in great detail. catecholamine fibers innervate the substantia gelatinosa, marginal layer, in ...1978101068

gastric antisecretory effects of propantheline bromide and metiamide in rhesus monkeys.the effects of propantheline bromide (pb) and metiamide (m), two dissimilar classes of gastric secretory inhibitors, were studied in chronic gastric fistula rhesus monkeys. basal and stimulated gastric secretory studies were conducted in conscious monkeys. multiple s.c. injections of either histamine or pentagastrin were given hourly for four consecutive hours. one hour after the injection of the stimulants a constant plateau of gastric secretion was reached, and the test compounds were then adm ...1978101158
e.e.g. monitoring for the control of anaesthesia produced by the infusion of althesin in primates.the continuous infusion of althesin under electroencephalographic (e.e.g.) control provided a constant level of light anaesthesia for periods of 1--5.5 h during experimental brain hypoxia in spontaneously breathing baboons and rhesus monkeys. polygraphic records (respiration, heart rate, arterial pressure, cerebral venous sinus pressure, end-tidal gas concentrations) and also estimation of blood-gas tensions, ph, and concentrations of pyruvate and lactate demonstrated a steady physiological stat ...1978101225
effect of psychosocial stimuli and limbic lesions on prolactin at rest and following stress.many of the factors altering corticosterone in the rat have similar effects on prolactin. resting prolactin, like corticosterone, is higher in animals housed singly than in those multiply housed. unlike corticosterone, gentling did not lower prolactin. an exquisite sensitivity to environmental stimuli which results in rapid elevations in prolactin levels has been indentified in the rat which is considerably greater than that for corticosterone. like corticosterone, the pattern of prolactin stres ...1977101322
interceptive activity of azastene in rhesus monkeys.azastene is an orally effective "luteolytic" agent in rhesus monkeys. in nonpregnant monkeys it reverses the human chorionic gonadotropin-stimulated increase in progesterone production and delay in the onset of menstruation, and, in inseminated monkeys, it prevents pregnancy if given for 5 days beginning on day 24 of the menstrual cycle. the drug is also effective in terminating pregnancy if given for 5 days beginning on approximately day 26, day 50, or day 80 of gestation. concurrent progestero ...1978101392

a study of the effect of slow-reacting substances of anaphylaxis on the rhesus monkey airway.slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis (srs-a) generated from rat peritoneal mast cells was aerosolized to the airways of a group of rhesus monkeys with established airway responses to ascaris antigen. a selective effect of srs-a on pulmonary resistance and a lesser but significant effect on compliance was observed which differed from antigen, histamine, carbocholine, or prostaglandin (pg) f2alpha responses. the airway recovery from the pr change is slower than that from histamine and simulated ...1978101573
specific change in the direction of prostaglandin synthesis by intra-uterine tissues of the rhesus monkey (macaca mulatta) during late pregnancy.the rates of production of prostaglandin e (pge), prostaglandin f (pgf) and 13, 14-dihydro-15-oxo-prostaglandin f (pgfm) by intra-uterine tissues from pregnant monkeys in vitro have been determined using a method of tissue superfusion. the amnion, chorion, placenta, decidua basalis, decidua parietalis and myometrium were obtained at caesarean section during late pregnancy. production of pge by all tissues was significantly lower at term than during late pregnancy, whereas production of pgf by th ...1978101638
production of thromboxane b2 by the intra-uterine tissues from late pregnant rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta) in vitro.the rates of production of thromboxane b2 in vitro by intra-uterine tissues obtained from late pregnant monkeys by caesarean section have been determined. the general quantitative order of rates of production was decidua basalis = decidua parietalis greater than placenta greater than chorion greater than amnion = myometrium. myometrial production of thromboxane b2 was greater at term than during late pregnancy; no other tissue showed a significant trend with advancing gestation. these data demon ...1978101641
influences of season and age on maturation in vitro of rhesus monkey oocytes.oocytes obtained from antral follicles of adult and adolescent rhesus monkeys during the annual breeding season extruded polar bodies in vitro at significantly higher rates (50--60%) than oocytes from animals of similar age during the non-breeding season ((20--30%) or from infant and prepubertal females at any time of the year (20--30%). the proportion of oocytes degenerating in culture was greatest in groups where maturation was highest.1978101658
transmission of hepatitis b to the rhesus monkey. studies on the humoral and cell-mediated immune response.the susceptibility of the rhesus monkey (macaca mulatta) to hepatitis b virus was enhanced by the induction of chronic infection with plasmodium inuei.1978101663
blood groups of macaques:a comparative study.distribution of the human-type and of the simian-type blood groups in rhesus, crab-eating, bonnet, pig-tailed and stump-tailed macaques revealed significant similarities and differences among these species. human-type a--b-o blood groups cut across taxonomic lines and seem less value for taxonomic purposes than the simian-type blood groups detected by cross-reacting isoimmune rhesus monkey sera.1978101667
the course of development of glucose intolerance in the monkey (macaca mulatta).longitudinal studies of the rhesus monkey reveal a syndrome of diabetes mellitus in those that become middle-aged and obese. the sequence of events in the development of the disease progresses from normoinsulinemia with normoglycemia through stages of hyperinsulinemia followed by below normal insulin levels with hyperglycemia and glycosuria. we believe the rhesus to be an excellent nonhuman primate model for maturity-onset diabetes in humans.1978101670
gamma hydroxybutyrate in the monkey. iv. dopaminergic mechanisms.the electrical seizure activity and trancelike state induced in the rhesus monkey by gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) were abolished by dextroamphetamine. dextroamphetamine blockade of this neurophysiologic effect was overcome with chlorpromazine, a dopamine receptor blocker. these results suggest that the electroencephalographic (eeg) and behavioral effects of ghb are related to effects on dopaminergic systems. such a relationship, if substantiated by further studies, might indicate that anticonvuls ...1978101898
effects of passive immunization against morphine on heroin self-administration.antimorphine antibodies produced in rhesus monkeys immunized with morphine-6-hemisuccinate-bsa were passively administered to recipient monkeys trained to self-administer heroin and cocaine. following antibody administration, changes in heroin self-administration behavior were observed which were similar to those achieved with low doses of naloxone. both manipulations increased heroin self-administration without affecting cocaine responding.1978101989
short-term memory in the rhesus monkey: effects of dopamine blockade via acute haloperidol administration.the effects of dopaminergic blockade on recent or short-term memory (stm) were evaluated in test-sophisticated rhesus monkeys. each monkey was tested under several doses of the antidopaminergic haloperidol (0.006 to 0.05 mg/kg), in an automated, delayed-response procedure. the same procedure and test apparatus had previously been used to demonstrate profound stm impairments in aged rhesus monkeys and strikingly similar deficits in young monkeys given the anticholinergic scopolamine. the results ...1978101990
a sensitive radioimmunoassay for 6-keto-prostaglandin f1alpha: preliminary observations on circulating concentrations.a radioimmunoassay for 6-keto-prostaglandin f1alpha (6-keto-pgf1alpha) is reported. the mean least detectable mass of 6-keto-pgf1alpha is 1.45 pg and the mean mass of added 6-keto-pgf1alpha required to displace zero-point binding by 50% is 94.2 pg. cross-reactivities of the antiserum with all the prostaglandins and related compounds tested are less than 0.1% except for pge2 and pgf2alpha which are respectively 0.16% and 0.80%. the assay is both accurate and reproducible and measured levels are i ...1978102000
neuronal plasticity in primate telencephalon: anomalous projections induced by prenatal removal of frontal cortex.when the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in one hemisphere of a rhesus monkey is resected 6 weeks before birth and the fetus survives to postnatal ages, neurons of the corresponding cortex in the intact hemisphere issue a greatly expanded projection to the contralateral caudate nucleus in addition to a normal projection to the ipsilateral caudate. the enhancement of the crossed prefronto-caudate pathway after prenatal neurosurgery provides direct evidence for lesion-induced neuronal rearrangement ...1978102031

experimental group b streptococcal infection in the rhesus monkey. i. disease production in the neonate.group b streptococci (gbs) are responsible for serious infections of newborn infants. an experimental model for gbs infection was developed in the newborn rhesus monkey in order to obtain more information concerning the pathogenesis of such infections. a series of 29 newborn monkeys were inoculated with either type ic or type iii gbs or sterile broth. fatal neonatal meningitis without associated pneumonia was produced consistently following intracerebral inoculation with either type ic or type i ...1978102197
neural control of gonadotropin secretion in primates.in the rhesus monkey, there is abundant evidence to indicate that ovarian secretions, mainly estradiol-17beta, control "tonic" as well as "cyclic" secretion of gonadotropins during the menstrual cycle. this mechanism of control ensures coordination of ovarian morphology and anterior pituitary secretory patterns. the primary site of action of estradiol in controlling both "tonic" and "cyclic" secretion of gonadotropins has been circumscribed to the medial basal hypothalamic-pituitary unit. a modu ...1978102199
metric characteristics of the canine dental complex in prenatally androgenized female rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta).permanent maxillary canine teeth (c1) are appreciably larger in males than in females in most nonhominid anthropoidea. mandibular canines (c1) and mandibular first premolars (p3), against which c1 are sharpened in honing behavior, reflect commensurate sexual dimorphism. these three teeth constitute the canine dental complex. the canine complex crown metrics of seven mature genetically female rhesus macaques, androgenized by prenatal exposure to testosterone propionate, were compared with a contr ...1978102208
a quantitative estimation of the depletion of the granules of argyrophile cells in the gastrointestinal tract of reserpine treated rhesus monkeys.the depletion of the granules of argyrophile cells following administration of reserpine has been studied at various levels of the gastrointestinal tract of the rhesus monkey. granulation of the cells has been estimated by the photometric method of singh(1976). the argyrophile cells that persist after reserpine administration show a statistically significant reduction in their granulation as compared to cells of untreated controls (p less than 0.001).1978102216
spermatophagy in the seminiferous tubules and excurrent ducts of the testis in rhesus monkey and in man.the fine structure of cells capable of phagocytosing spermatozoa in the testes and epididymes of monkeys and men was studied by means of transmission and scanning electron microscopy. both resident cells, such as sertoli cells and epithelia of the rete testis, and free cells, such as macrophages (spermatophages) were found to phagocytose spermatozoa or fragments of spermatozoa in the seminiferous tubules and excurrent ducts. the spermatophages develop from precursor cells which invade the semini ...1978102218
distribution of tissue water and electrolytes in normal rhesus macaques.techniques for the determination of water and electrolytes in individual tissues of normal rhesus macaques (macaca mulatta) are described. base-line values are presented for intracellular and extracellular distributions of water and electrolytes in 14 tissues, including skin, skeletal muscle (gastrocnemius), cardiac muscle (left ventricle), lung, diaphragm, liver, renal cortex, outer medulla and inner medulla, cerebral cortex, cerebellum, thalamus-hypothalamus complex, medulla oblongata, and spi ...2000102224
a behavioral analysis of complete unilateral section of the pyramidal tract at the medullary level in macaca mulatta.ten macaca mulatta monkeys were operantly conditioned to perform three motor paradigms designed to evaluate single and combination finger movements. eight of these monkeys were retested after left medullary pyramidotomy; 2 monkeys underwent left medullary pyramidotomy prior to conditioning. all animals were tested for three years after operation. monkeys with a completely sectioned medullary pyramid could, with time, perform difficult motor paradigms that required: (1) both individual and combin ...1978102241
semi-automated detection of emesis in the rhesus monkey.the use of a video recorder and the inclusion of a marker dye in material fed to rhesus monkeys has eliminated the need for the constant presence of an observer to detect an emetic response.1978102332
influence of ovarian hormones on prolactin release in the rhesus monkey. 1978102374
chemical occlusion of rhesus monkey oviducts with chloroquine.fertility control through chemical occlusion of the oviducts with chloroquine was investigated in rhesus monkeys (m.m.). chloroquine was instilled retrograde through the tubal ostium after laparotomising the monkeys as a 10, 50 and 100% suspension (w/v) in aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose (cmc) solution which was used as a carrier vehicle. complete occlusion of the fallopian tubes at the uterotubal junction and also the intramural portions resulted in 15 days after a single instillation.1978102485
