| strongylus vulgaris in donkeys (equus asinus) from the highveld of zimbabwe. | strongylus vulgaris populations in the cranial mesenteric arteries, caecum and colon were studied in 14 donkeys obtained from a communal area of the zimbabwean highveld during july and november, 1986, and january and april 1987. adult parasites were present in all animals and larvae in the cranial mesenteric arteries of 12 animals. aged animals had high worm burdens. the number of adult parasites varied from 63 to 1255 (mean 382) and of larvae in the arteries from 0 to 181 (mean 69). the mean ad ... | 1989 | 2773269 |
| identification of essential arginine residue(s) for mg-atp binding of human argininosuccinate synthetase. | human argininosuccinate synthetase (ass) activity was found to be inactivated by alpha-dicarbonyls such as 1,2-cyclohexanedione and phenylglyoxal in accordance with pseudo first-order kinetics. the enzyme was almost completely protected from this inactivation by mg-atp and partially by its analogues. the strongest protective effect against inactivation was found with mg-atp, followed by mg-adp, amp, adenosine and mg-inorganic pyrophosphate. these results suggest the importance of arginine residu ... | 1989 | 2788888 |
| [asthma due to disulfites]. | sulfites are recognized as food and drug additives responsible for anaphylactoid adverse reactions, especially in asthmatics. we report on 7 patients (6 females and one male) aged between 24 and 70 years, with preexistent asthma and/or rhinitis of the "intrinsic" type, who experienced severe, life-threatening asthmatic and urticarial reactions after ingestion of wine, salads and other food containing sulfites as preservatives or antioxidants. in a 70-year-old female anaphylactoid shock occurred ... | 1989 | 2799334 |
| [anthrax in chad: a zoonosis that still exists today]. | an epidemic of human and animal anthrax raged in chad mainly in the department of chari baguirmi from september to december 1988, infesting more than 50% of donkeys and horses. 716 human cases have been reported, with 88 deaths. thanks to a geographical distribution of animal and human prevalence, one sees immediately the interdependency between sanitary state of live-stock and public health. an unusual means of transmission from donkey to donkey by insects as the vector is suggested to explain ... | 1989 | 2811650 |
| asinine herpesvirus genomes: comparison with those of the equine herpesviruses. | two previously unknown and distinct herpesviruses were isolated from donkeys. one, with the characteristics of a betaherpesvirus, was isolated from the leukocytes of an apparently healthy donkey, while the second, an alphaherpesvirus, was recovered from the nasal cavity of donkeys given high doses of corticosteroids, and caused rhinitis in two seronegative weanling donkeys when they were intranasally infected. few, if any, restriction endonuclease fragments were shared by the donkey betaherpesvi ... | 1988 | 2845891 |
| processing of an anglerfish somatostatin precursor to a hydroxylysine-containing somatostatin 28. | a novel 28-residue somatostatin (ss) has been isolated from anglerfish pancreatic islets and characterized by complete edman degradation, peptide mapping, and amino acid analysis. the primary structure of this anglerfish ss-28 (ass-28) containing hydroxylysine (hyl) was established to be h-ser-val-asp-ser-thr-asn-asn-leu-pro-pro-arg-glu-arg-lys-ala-gly-cys- lys-asn-phe-tyr-trp-hyl-gly-phe-thr-ser-cys-oh. this sequence (with the exception of hydroxylysine-23, which is replaced by lysine) is ident ... | 1985 | 2857489 |
| effect of hypothalamic ventromedial lesions on plasma growth hormone response to growth hormone-releasing factor in rats. | the effect of ventromedial-arcuate (vmh-arc) nuclei lesions on plasma growth hormone (gh) response to human growth hormone-releasing factor (grf, 1 microgram/kg b.wt., i.v.) was studied in conscious rats after they had received chlorpromazine (cpz) or cpz plus antiserum against somatostatin (ass). when rats were pretreated with cpz alone, there was no difference in basal plasma gh level between vmh-arc lesioned rats and controls. the magnitude of plasma gh response to grf in 5 out of 6 vmh-arc l ... | 1985 | 2864981 |
| experimental infection of the domestic donkey (equus asinus asinus) with a goat strain of sarcoptes scabiei, and treatment with ivermectin. | donkeys were experimentally infected with sarcoptes scabiei from goats, proving that this mite is not completely host specific. the lesions produced on the donkeys were characterized by extensive areas of alopecia, covered with thin crusts and bran-like scales. the skin had many excoriations but showed no cracks or fissures. skin scrapings from the experimental lesions in donkeys contained numerous mites of all stages and skin sections showed severe histopathological changes, proving that the go ... | 1985 | 2865877 |
| the effect of glucose and free fatty acids on growth hormone (gh)-releasing factor-mediated gh secretion in rats. | we have examined the effect of glucose and ffa on gh-releasing factor (ghrf)-mediated gh secretion in rats under pentobarbital anesthesia. hyperglycemia did not affect gh secretion induced by administration of 20, 100, and 200 ng ghrf/100 g body weight. in contrast, gh response to 50 ng ghrf/100 g body weight in lipid heparin-treated rats, which showed high plasma ffa levels, was significantly suppressed compared with the control group (plasma peak gh: control, 1526 +/- 263 ng/ml; lipid-heparin ... | 1986 | 2870916 |
| comparison of the measurement of plasma testosterone and plasma oestrogens for the diagnosis of cryptorchidism in the horse. | the results of performing 1720 blood tests for equine cryptorchidism are described. using the paired sample human chorionic gonadotrophin (hcg) stimulation test and measuring testosterone, 6.7 per cent of tests did not give a clear result. if only the testosterone concentration in the pre-hcg blood sample was used, this percentage rose to 14 per cent. the paired sample hcg stimulation test was 94.6 per cent accurate. a comparison was made between the paired hcg stimulation test and the measureme ... | 1986 | 2874021 |
| separate cell types that express two different forms of somatostatin in anglerfish islets can be immunohistochemically differentiated. | the somatostatin-related peptides somatostatin-14 (ss-14) and somatostatin-28 (ass-28) are synthesized at the c-terminal end of two separate pre-pro-somatostatins in anglerfish pancreatic islets. the purpose of this study was to determine whether these peptides are expressed in the same or different cell types. antisera r141 and r293, which recognize the central region of ss-14 and the c-terminal region of ass-28 ([tyr7,gly10] ss-14), respectively, were used in an immunohistochemical examination ... | 1987 | 2878951 |
| effects of somatocrinin and a somatostatin antiserum on body and organ growth in the rat. | chronic treatment with rgrf for 14 days with or without a specific antibody against somatostatin-14 were performed on 24-day old male sprague-dawley rats. serum gh concentrations were significantly increased at the time of sacrifice while growth was not affected. rgrf, possibly through its effect on gh release, stimulated lung and kidney weights, increasing water content of the latter. muscle and testes remained insensitive to grf while the heart showed signs of reduced growth. liver growth resp ... | 1986 | 2879776 |
| changes in nonspecific immunity factor in some equidae, camelidae and capridae species. | plasma lysozyme activity changed during the 2 years of the investigation period. in some species (e.g. ponies and goats) there are only seasonal fluctuations with the highest levels during summer and autumn in ponies and during winter in goats. in two camelidae species, guanacos and llamas, only, downward trends were found, whereas in donkeys, both types of changes: seasonal variations with the maximal level during autumn and an upward long-term trend were found. | 1987 | 2882892 |
| direct evidence for two distinct prosomatostatin converting enzymes. detection using a rapid, sensitive, and specific assay for propeptide converting enzymes. | many bioactive peptides are initially synthesized via larger precursors from which they are released by proteolytic cleavage at basic amino acids. some precursors contain more than one final product peptide, multiple copies of a single peptide, or both. different product peptides can be produced from a common precursor in different tissues. it is not currently known whether this cell-type specific production of bioactive peptides is mediated by different, specific propeptide converting enzymes ( ... | 1987 | 2883185 |
| vector potential of culicine mosquitoes in faiyum governorate, egypt. | culicine mosquito populations were studied for 1 year in 2 neighboring villages in faiyum governorate, egypt. dominant species in larval collections included culex pipiens, cx. univitattus, cx. antennatus, aedes caspius and uranotaenia unguiculata; culiseta longiareolata was less common. culex pipiens accounted for 98% of 3,743 mosquitoes captured in human-biting collection (164 man-nights), 96% of 1,136 mosquitoes collected inside houses and animal sheds (396 inspections), and 98% of 15,000 mos ... | 1986 | 2906968 |
| [individual glycoside therapy using serum concentration determination in heart insufficiency of horses]. | 23 horses and one donkey with congestive heart failure are treated with a standardized methyldigoxin dose (0.0032 mg/kg of body weight). the therapy is controlled by the serum concentration of the cardiac glycoside. 4 horses have a higher and 13 horses a lower serum concentration as necessary for therapeutic approach. the influence of additional diseases and medications is demonstrated. finally a rule for the evaluation of the individual therapeutic glycoside-dose is given. | 1989 | 2923617 |
| [effects of dithiothreitol and thioredoxines on the in vitro activity of enzymes of the urea cycle in rats]. | the five urea cycle enzymes were studied in desactivated extracts of rat liver. after reduction by dithiothreitol (dtt) and in presence of mg2+ ions, thioredoxines isolated from rat liver were able to activate carbamyl phosphate synthetase-i (cps-i) and argininosuccinate synthetase (ass) respectively by 468% and by 370%. thioredoxines were purified from adult rat liver and an antiserum was raised to these proteins. after immunologic quantitation, their level in adult rat was 0.103 mg/g liver. | 1986 | 2948627 |
| blood ammonia levels and hepatic encephalopathy induced by ccl4 in rats. | an investigation of the mechanism of development of hepatic encephalopathy induced by ccl4 was performed in rats. ccl4 (1.0 ml/kg three times per week for over 10 weeks) caused hepatic encephalopathy in 80% of the treated rats. accompanying the hepatic encephalopathy were hematemesis, abdominal dropsy, and hyperammonemia, conditions observed in hepatic coma patients. the blood ammonia levels were tremendously increased in only those rats with hepatic encephalopathy. hepatic activities of carbamy ... | 1987 | 2962338 |
| parasites of the stomach in donkeys of the highveld of zimbabwe. | fourteen donkeys from a communal area of the zimbabwean highveld were examined for stomach parasites during july and november of 1986 and january and april of 1987. all 14 animals were infected. habronema muscae occurred in 12, draschia megastoma in 11, h. majus in 9, trichostrongylus axei in 9, gasterophilus intestinalis in 14 and g. nasalis in 1 donkey. the lowest level of infection was in january for the helminths and in april for gasterophilus larvae. the peak burdens of parasites were in ju ... | 1988 | 2975414 |
| [isolation of strains of a new ecological variant of staphylococcus aureus from asses]. | 47 coagulase-positive staphylococcal strains were isolated from the nasal smears of 175 healthy donkeys. in accordance with the schemes of akatov--devriese and mayer-witte--akatov, 10.6% of the cultures were classified with the coagulase-positive species s. hyicus and 89.3%, with the species s. aureus. out of s. aureus strains, 11.9% were found to have the characteristics of ecovar hominis, while 16.2% of the cultures could not be classified with definite ecovars. most of the strains (71.4%) wer ... | 1988 | 2975451 |
| serologic surveillance for vesicular stomatitis virus on ossabaw island, georgia. | seventeen species of mammals and seven species of birds from ossabaw island, georgia, were tested for vesicular stomatitis (vs) neutralizing antibodies. seropositive results were restricted to mammals with six of 17 species testing seropositive for vs (new jersey type) neutralizing antibodies. seropositive species included: raccoons (procyon lotor), white-tailed deer (odocoileus virginianus), feral swine (sus scrofa), cattle (bos taurus), horses (equus caballus), and donkeys (equus asinus). all ... | 1985 | 2987546 |
| replication of alphaviruses in cultures of donkey monocytes. | representative strains of venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (veev) and eastern equine encephalitis virus (eeev) were compared for their ability to grow in cultures of unstimulated leucocytes and monocytes derived from donkey peripheral blood. replication of epizootic and vaccine strains of veev, but not of enzootic strains was observed in this system. only a minority of monocytes supported virus replication as detected by immunofluorescence, electron microscopy and infectious center assays. e ... | 1986 | 3004384 |
| xenobiotic-metabolizing enzyme activity in human non-small-cell derived lung cancer cell lines. | human lung cancer cell lines in culture were investigated for the expression of monooxygenase and other xenobiotic-metabolizing enzyme activities. two bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma derived cell lines (nci-h322 and nci-h358) and two small-cell carcinoma derived cell lines (nci-h128 and nci-h69) were used. previous work has shown that nci-h322 has ultrastructural features of clara cells while nci-h358 shows characteristics of alveolar type ii cells [schuller et al., proc. am. ass. cancer res. 26, ... | 1986 | 3004505 |
| studies of ebv-lymphoid cell interactions in two patients with the x-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome: normal ebv-specific hla-restricted cytotoxicity. | two x-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (xlp) patients with the hypogammaglobulinemia phenotype were investigated at a time remote from their primary infection with the epstein-barr virus (ebv). the lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from these patients expressed the phenotypic markers characteristic of normal mature b lymphocytes and produced normal levels of immunoglobulins (ig). these observations imply that at least some of their b cells are phenotypically normal. the natural killer (nk) ac ... | 1986 | 3009061 |
| hormonal regulation of four urea cycle enzymes in postnatal rat liver in organ culture. | the administration of hydrocortisone to 3- to 15-day-old rats increased the levels of hepatic argininosuccinate synthetase (ass) and arginase. in 13-day-old rat liver explants maintained in organ culture, ornithine carbamoyltransferase (otc), carbamoylphosphate synthetase (cps) and arginase were stimulated by betamethasone. actinomycin d prevented the responses of the latter two enzymes. dibutyryl cyclic amp raised otc, cps, ass and arginase in vitro. the responses of the latter three enzymes we ... | 1985 | 3013609 |
| effects of pancreatic hormones and glucocorticosteroids on argininosuccinate synthetase and argininosuccinase activities of rat liver during the perinatal period: in vivo and in vitro studies. | the activity changes of two urea cycle enzymes, argininosuccinate synthetase (ass) and argininosuccinase (asl), were followed after corticosteroid and pancreatic hormone treatments in utero and in primary cultured fetal hepatocytes. the asl activity which was induced by glucagon or by (bu)2camp administration was enhanced by a treatment with streptozotocin for 2 days, although ass was not changed under these conditions. the activity of both enzymes was enhanced by cortisol administration in uter ... | 1986 | 3015569 |

| induction of the five urea-cycle enzymes by glucagon in cultured foetal rat hepatocytes. | foetal hepatocytes obtained from rats at different stages were cultured in order to investigate the inducibility of the five urea-cycle enzymes by glucagon and dibutyryl cyclic amp (bt2camp). when 18.5-day-old hepatocytes were cultured for 3 days with 10(-7) m glucagon, the activities of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (cps), argininosuccinase (asl) and arginase were increased by 1.4-, 1.8- and 1.9-fold, respectively, as compared to controls. these effects were mimicked by 10(-4) m bt2camp, but t ... | 1987 | 3328726 |
| selection for accelerated penetration in cell culture coselects for attenuated mutants of venezuelan equine encephalitis virus. | previous studies with sindbis virus (sb) suggested that a single point mutation in glycoprotein e2 (serine 114 to arginine 114) conferred three phenotypic alterations: attenuation in neonatal mice, accelerated penetration of cultured cells, and efficient neutralization by two e2-specific monoclonal antibodies (davis, fuller, dougherty, olmsted, and johnston (1986) proc. natl. acad. sci. usa 83, 6771-6775). moreover, selection for rapidly penetrating mutants of sb coselected for attenuation in vi ... | 1988 | 3341117 |
| an elisa for the measurement of vp16 (etoposide) in unextracted plasma. | an elisa for the anti-cancer drug vp16 in unextracted plasma has been developed using vp16-thyroglobulin-coated microtitre plates, a sheep anti-vp16 serum, and a donkey anti-sheep hrpo-labelled second antibody. the sensitivity of the assay was 0.5 ng/ml, providing a detection limit of 0.1 microgram vp16/ml plasma. plasma interference effects were negligible and therefore the standard curve could be set up in assay buffer. a good correlation was obtained between the elisa and established hplc and ... | 1988 | 3346552 |
| isolation of pure babesia equi and babesia caballi organisms in splenectomized horses from endemic areas in south africa. | both babesia equi and babesia caballi are endemic in large parts of south africa. attempts were made to obtain pure local isolates of both b. equi and b. caballi for the purpose of developing serological tests to study the epidemiology of equine babesiosis in this country. the indirect fluorescent antibody test was used to screen horses for b. equi and b. caballi in an endemic area. seven horses and 3 donkeys between 3 and 36 months of age that tested negative were subsequently splenectomized. t ... | 1988 | 3353098 |
| microanalysis of the amino-acid sequence of monomeric beta-lactoglobulin i from donkey (equus asinus) milk. the primary structure and its homology with a superfamily of hydrophobic molecule transporters. | the complete primary structure of donkey beta-lactoglobulin i was determined by pulsed-liquid phase microsequencing of tryptic peptides. the protein has been isolated in monomeric form and it corresponds to monomeric beta-lactoglobulin of type i. with the inclusion of donkey beta-lactoglobulin i there are 13% common residues amongst the members of the beta-lactoglobulin family. donkey beta-lactoglobulin i is homologous to the retinol-binding protein, bilin-binding protein and five other proteins ... | 1988 | 3370127 |
| a fertile mule and hinny in china. | anecdotal reports of fertility in female mules (jack donkey x mare) and hinnies (stallion x jenny donkey) have appeared in the literature over the years, but scientists have generally regarded them with scepticism. the fact that some of these hybrids can come into estrous and ovulate makes fertility conceivable, given that opportunity for mating arises. in china, where mules are bred extensively for work on the farms, a fertile female mule and a fertile female hinny have now been verified by chr ... | 1988 | 3378453 |
| recovery of leishmania (viannia) braziliensis from inoculated hamsters. | leishmania (viannia) braziliensis has never been isolated from wild animals although it is apparently capable of inducing infections in man, dogs, and donkeys. an analysis of the standard hamster culture system for analyzing infectivity of leishmania sp. was undertaken. results indicate that for l. (v.) braziliensis, routine cultivation of aspirates taken from the inoculation sites of 1-mo-infected hamsters should be undertaken. moreover, in at least 1 of the 3 strains examined, isolation of the ... | 1988 | 3379536 |
