in vivo studies on intracellular ph, focal flow, and vessel diameter in the cat cerebral cortex: effects of altered co2 and electrical stimulation.the time course of changes in cortical tissue ph (phi) and blood flow during cortical seizures in halothane-anesthetized cats was examined. the clearance of the molecular form of umbelliferone (um) was used to estimate focal cortical blood flow (cbfu), whereas the ratio of the molecular to the ionic form of the molecule was used to concurrently calculate the local phi. resting phi and flow in normocarbic animals was 7.116 +/- 0.008 and 46 +/- 8 ml/100 g/min, respectively. respiratory induced alt ...19873108271
[influence of bcg in the control of humoral deficiency induced by mastocytoma p-815].viable bcg bacilli, in a lipid emulsion, inoculated intravenously, were capable of reverting the profound humoral immunosuppression induced in adult dba/2 mice by the mastocytoma p-815. bcg increased not only the number of hemolytic plaque forming cells, but also the serum titers of hemagglutinating igm antibodies. however, no blocking effect was detected on normal tumor progression.19863108617
pulmonary clearance of pseudomonas aeruginosa in neutropenic mice. effects of systemic immunization.systemic immunization with killed pseudomonas improves pulmonary clearance of these bacteria in normal mice. to test the effects of active systemic immunization on early pulmonary clearance of pseudomonas in neutropenic mice, balb/c mice were intraperitoneally immunized with 10(8) pseudomonas or injected with saline twice weekly for 2 wk. ten days after the last immunization, immunized and control mice received tail vein injections with either nitrogen mustard or saline daily for 3 days. two day ...19873109290
inner-city survey for tuberculosis: evaluation of diagnostic methods.a total of 1,271 persons living in a socially and economically depressed, inner-city area of vancouver, british columbia, voluntarily attended a tuberculosis case-finding campaign. chest x-ray, on-the-spot specimen of sputum, and tuberculin skin test were offered at the time of the first attendance. all 3 diagnostic methods were found to be well accepted, with 93% of the participants having an x-ray, over 95% producing a sputum specimen, and almost 95% having a tuberculin test (a quarter of thes ...19873109292
movements of vesicles on microtubules.many cytoplasmic vesicles are observed to move along microtubules. often, bidirectional movement of particles is observed on a single microtubule. we have isolated one cytoplasmic motor, kinesin, and defined another, the axoplasmic retrograde factor, which are capable of powering anionic latex beads toward the plus and minus ends of microtubules, respectively. observations of vesicle movements show that vesicles have a defined direction of movement and that vesicles copurify with a kinesin motor ...20113109300

effects in rats of dietary protein inadequacy on lactose production, milk volume and components of the lactose synthetase complex (ec 2.4.1.22).lactose synthetase (ls) is a complex of alpha-lactalbumin and n-acetylglucosamine galactosyl transferase (gt). ls is the rate-limiting enzyme in lactose biosynthesis. lactose is the main osmotic component of milk and may thereby affect milk volume. dietary protein inadequacy reduces milk volume and lactose content. the study investigates the role of ls activity in these phenomena. lactating rats were fed adequate and inadequate amounts of protein of high (milk protein) and low (cereal protein) q ...19873109312
purification and characterization of dihydrofolate reductase from soybean seedlings.dihydrofolate reductase (dhfr; ec 1.5.1.3) was purified to homogeneity from soybean seedlings by affinity chromatography on methotrexate-aminohexyl sepharose, gel filtration on ultrogel aca-54, and blue sepharose chromatography. sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the enzyme gave a single protein band corresponding to a molecular weight of 22,000. the enzyme is not a 140,000 da heteropolymer as reported by others. amino acid sequence-specific antibodies to intact human d ...19873109322
studies on the rate-determining factor in testosterone hydroxylation by rat liver microsomal cytochrome p-450: evidence against cytochrome p-450 isozyme:isozyme interactions.the aim of the present study was to examine a recent proposal that inhibitory isozyme:isozyme interactions explain why membrane-bound isozymes of rat liver microsomal cytochrome p-450 exert only a fraction of the catalytic activity they express when purified and reconstituted with saturating amounts of nadph-cytochrome p-450 reductase and optimal amounts of dilauroylphosphatidylcholine. the different pathways of testosterone hydroxylation catalyzed by cytochromes p-450a (7 alpha-hydroxylation), ...19873109324
immunological relationship among glycogen-protein complexes of different species.glycogen-protein complexes from the muscles of celerio euphorbiae and horse as well as from the livers of frog, carp and man were isolated and used as antigens. after immunization of rabbits antisera were obtained from which fractions of immunoglobulins were isolated. antibodies were used in agar immunodiffusion tests and in quantitative reaction of immunoprecipitation with glycogens. the immunoprecipitation test proved the occurrence of quantitative differences in cross reaction of complexes wi ...19863109350
recombinant human tissue-type plasminogen activator therapy in acute thromboembolic stroke.systemic fibrinolytic therapy for acute stroke is no longer recommended because of resulting systemic fibrinolysis and the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage. human tissue-type plasminogen activator (tpa) is a native enzyme that converts plasminogen to plasmin with subsequent clot lysis. the affinity for plasminogen is increased several-fold when the substrate is bound to fibrin. at appropriate dosage, "clot-specific" thrombolysis may be achieved at the surface of the thrombus without creating sys ...19873112328

pseudoatrophy of the brain with valproic acid monotherapy.a patient is described who, while on valproic acid monotherapy, developed reversible shrinkage of the brain, documented by computerized tomography with associated cognitive deficit. although pseudoatrophy has been reported with steroid therapy, this is the first implication of an anticonvulsant drug in the etiology of that condition.20113117347
the inhibition by valproic acid of the mitochondrial oxidation of monocarboxylic and omega-hydroxymonocarboxylic acids: possible implications for the metabolism of gamma-aminobutyric acid.the interactions of 1-5 mm valproic acid with the hepatic fatty acid oxidation are here described. valproic acid was not substrate for hepatic peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation. its activation outside the mitochondrial matrix compartment was poor when compared to that of octanoic acid, a fatty acid containing the same number of carbones. valproic acid did not inhibit the fatty acyl-coa oxidase nor the cyanide-insensitive acyl-coa oxidation. valproic acid inhibited the mitochondrial oxidations of ...19873117781
a new immunomodulating compound (as-101) with potential therapeutic application.there has been interest in the potential of synthetic compounds to modify immune responses by imitation of cytokine action. direct administration of interleukin 2 (il-2) in conjunction with adoptive transfer of lymphokine activated killer cells has been used in the treatment of cancer, but there are toxic effects resulting from the high doses of il-2 required. we have developed a new synthetic compound, ammonium tri-chloro(dioxoethylene-o,o'-)tellurate (as-101), which has immunomodulating proper ...19873118216
specific reduction of n,n-dimethylnitrosamine mutagenicity in drosophila melanogaster by dimethyl sulfoxide.dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) used as a solvent has been observed to complicate mutagenicity screens by interacting with tested chemicals to yield false positives or negatives. we have used dmso as a solvent in the drosophila melanogaster recessive sex-linked lethal mutation assay and find that it reduces, but does not abolish, the detectable mutagenicity of n,n-dimethylnitrosamine (dmn). its use as a solvent with procarbazine, another promutagen, shows no effect on mutagenicity in drosophila. dmso ...20113119334
effects of cost sharing on physiological health, health practices, and worry.in a randomized trial of the effects of medical insurance on spending and the health status of the nonaged, we previously reported that patients with limited cost sharing had approximately one-third less use of medical services, similar general self-assessed health, and worse blood pressure, functional far vision, and dental health than those with free care. of the 20 additional measures of physiological health studied here on 3,565 adults, people with cost sharing scored better on 12 measures a ...20113119520
assessment of contractility changes in humans by transoesophageal echocardiography: the peak-systolic pressure end-systolic diameter relationship (pspesdrs).the peak-systolic pressure end-systolic diameter relationship (pspesdrs) was determined in ten healthy subjects under general anaesthesia by using the radial artery pressure tracing (peak-systolic pressure) and transoesophageal 2d-and m-mode echocardiography (left ventricular diameters) without blocking of autonomic reflexes. left ventricular load was changed by injection of a single intravenous dose of 0.2 mg nitroglycerin (ntg). linear regression analysis showed a close linear relationship dur ...20113119748
gonadotropin regulation of tissue-type and urokinase-type plasminogen activators in rat granulosa and theca-interstitial cells during the periovulatory period.plasminogen activators (pas) are believed to be involved in ovulation. because both tissue-type plasminogen activator (tpa) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (upa) are secreted by cultured rat granulosa cells, we have examined the activities of these proteins in ovarian homogenates as well as granulosa and theca-interstitial (ti) cells during gonadotropin-induced ovulation. immature rats were injected with 20 iu pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (pmsg) to initiate follicle development, fol ...19873121412

lactate dehydrogenase and malate dehydrogenase of sertoli cells in rats.lactate-dehydrogenase (ldh) and malate-dehydrogenase (mdh) activities and isozyme patterns of maturing sertoli cells were investigated in cultured cells obtained from 2-5-week-old rats. both enzymes, and more strikingly ldh, increased between 2 and 3 weeks of age. ldh isozyme complement included all five isozymes and, in the more mature rats, had a shift toward the isoforms rich in subunit. these data are consistent with an increasing production of lactate/pyruvate and with a finer regulation of ...19873122678
interleukin-2 receptor levels are increased in blood of heart transplant patients during infections.increased levels of soluble interleukin-2 (il-2) receptor were found in plasma of six patients after the heart transplantation. the levels peaked the first week after transplantation and then gradually decreased to normal levels. the moderate episodes of heart transplant rejection did not affect the il-2 receptor levels in comparison to transplant recipients without the rejection episodes. however, the transplant patients with pneumonia had the il-2 receptor levels ten times higher than healthy ...20113123088
telomeric dna-protein interactions of oxytricha macronuclear dna.telomeres of oxytricha macronuclear chromatin exist as discrete nonnucleosomal dna-protein complexes, each of which encompasses the terminal 100-150 bp of a macronuclear dna molecule. we have used chemical and nuclease footprinting to examine the internal structure of these telomeric complexes. remarkably salt-stable dna-protein interactions result in methylation-protection of specific guanine residues in the 3'-terminal t4g4t4g4 tail. the methylation pattern seen in vivo and in isolated macronu ...20113123321

estimation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (e1) activity in human skeletal muscle; three cases with e1 deficiency.pyruvate dehydrogenase (e1) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. since e1 activity of human muscle tissue is low, a sensitive method is needed for diagnostic purposes. measurement of 14co2 production from [1-14c]pyruvate provides a specific and sensitive assay for measuring e1 activity. we use as artificial electron acceptor dichlorophenolindophenol (dcpip) instead of the often applied ferricyanide. the method can be applied to small muscle samples obtained by ...19883127087
preliminary report of haemoproteus tinnunculi infection in a breeding population of american kestrels (falco sparverius).a population of american kestrels breeding in southeastern pennsylvania was examined for hematozoa. haemoproteus tinnunculi infected 17 of 23 (74%) of the adults. parasitemia ranged from two to 252, with a median of 32 infected erythrocytes per 10,000. parasitemia and body weight of female kestrels were negatively correlated. this parasite was not observed in the six juvenile or 38 nestling kestrels examined. trypanosoma sp. was detected by culture in three of seven (43%) adults, but not in the ...20113127602
electron backscatter corrections for parallel-plate chambers.the wall of an ionization chamber is commonly assumed to have a negligible effect on chamber response in electron beams. for cylindrical chambers with thin walls this assumption is valid. however, parallel-plate chambers commonly possess large mechanical supports which may affect chamber response in a manner not accounted for in current dosimetry protocols. this is due to changes with energy in the relative backscattered electron fluence between chamber support and phantom materials. to investig ...20113127670

induction of indoleamine dioxygenase by interferon in mice: a study with different recombinant interferons and various cytokines.since it is important the availability of a specific marker for interferon induction in vivo, we investigated the effect of different recombinant interferons and various cytokines on indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase activity. although with different magnitude, recombinant interferon-alpha a/d (bgl ii) hybrid, interferon-gamma and tumor necrosis factor, all increase the activity of this enzyme, whereas interleukin-1, recombinant interferon-alpha a and interferon-alpha d do not induce this activity in ...20113128977
reappearance of embryonic neutral alpha-glucosidase isoenzyme in acid maltase-deficient muscle of japanese quail.two neutral alpha-glucosidase isoenzymes were isolated from the muscle of japanese quails with late-onset acid maltase deficiency. one isoenzyme is predominantly expressed in embryonic muscle and the other in adult muscle. the time of switching from one to the other of these two neutral alpha-glucosidases was the same as in normal birds. the glycogen content in acid maltase-deficient muscle was not inversely proportional to the amount of embryonic neutral alpha-glucosidase. from the results, we ...20113129300
inhibition of beta-bungarotoxin binding to brain membranes by mast cell degranulating peptide, toxin i, and ethylene glycol bis (beta-aminoethyl ether)-n,n,n',n'-tetraacetic acid.the presynaptically active snake venom neurotoxin beta-bungarotoxin (beta-butx) is known to affect neurotransmitter release by binding to a subtype of voltage-activated k+ channels. here we show that mast cell degranulating (mcd) peptide from bee venom inhibits the binding of 125i-labeled beta-butx to chick and rat brain membranes with apparent ki values of 180 nm and 1100 nm, respectively. the mechanism of inhibition by mcd peptide is noncompetitive, as is inhibition of 125i-beta-butx binding b ...19883130091
lectin-like components in the macronuclear replication bands of euplotes eurystomus.upon incubation with fluoresceinylated neoglycoproteins, isolated macronuclei from the ciliated protozoan euplotes eurystomus display different labelling patterns depending on the nature of the sugar bound to the neoglycoproteins. specific sugar-binding components (i.e., lectin-like molecules) are associated with presumed nucleoli and with the macronuclear replication bands. this is the first demonstration that dna synthesis and sugar-binding components are co-localized in an eukaryotic cell.20103130115

expression of four virulence antigens of shigella flexneri is positively regulated at the transcriptional level by the 30 kilodalton virf protein.on the virulence plasmid of shigella flexneri the virg region required for cell-to-cell spread of the bacterium encodes a 130 kilodalton (kd) antigen and region-2 essential for the bacterial invasion of epithelial cells encodes 57, 43 and 39 kd antigens. the expression of these four antigens is positively regulated by the 30 kd protein encoded by virf, whose nucleotide sequence had been determined and which was previously found to be essential for virulence. an approximately 3.8 kilobase (kb) rn ...19883141742
alcohol-related birth defects: an update.historically, mankind has at least suspected that alcohol was somehow connected with undesirable effects on progeny. in the 18th century, physicians became aware that maternal alcohol consumption resulted in excess fetal and neonatal mortality, low birth weight, and many other deleterious effects. perhaps as a response to the temperance and prohibition periods, scientists lost sight of or interest in the effects of alcohol in pregnancy. in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the issue surfaced again ...20113141958

in vivo measurement of intracellular ph in human brain during different tensions of carbon dioxide in arterial blood. a 31p-nmr study.the effect of changes in carbon dioxide tension in arterial blood upon intracellular ph in brain tissue was studied in seven healthy volunteers, aged 22-45 years. the ph changes were monitored by use of 31p nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, performed on a whole-body 1.5 tesla siemens imaging system. the measurements were carried out during hyperventilation and with the subject breathing atmospheric air containing 5 vol. % and 7 vol. % carbon dioxide. intracellular ph increased significant ...19883147578
the development of immunological relationship between mother and fetus under physiological and pathological conditions.on the basis of results of our research and review of literature, the complex of immuno logical influences, operating during the development of the human fetus, were evaluated. it is obvious that during the early stages of pregnancy the conceptus is protected by non-specific mechanisms, i.e. hormonally (hcg, progesterone) and by certain properties of the trophoblast (barrier function, immunologically inert surface). specific immunological tolerance is formed by gradual penetration of trophoblast ...19883147589
comparison of the invasion strategies used by salmonella cholerae-suis, shigella flexneri and yersinia enterocolitica to enter cultured animal cells: endosome acidification is not required for bacterial invasion or intracellular replication.strains of escherichia, salmonella, shigella and yersinia actively enter eukaryotic cells. several techniques were used to compare and contrast the invasion mechanisms of salmonella cholerae-suis, yersinia enterocolitica and shigella flexneri. three animal cell lines (cho, hep-2 and mdck) were examined for susceptibility to bacterial entry by these strains. levels of intracellular bacteria varied widely between cell lines, but cho cells were the most susceptible to bacterial invasion, hep-2 inva ...19883147700

pattern reversal visual evoked potentials in phenylketonuria.the pathogenesis of brain dysfunction in phenylketonuria (pku) is still under investigation. hyperphenylalaninaemia results in increased turnover of myelin. in order to demonstrate the derangement of myelinization in pku we studied the visual evoked potentials (vep) in 14 pku patients and in 20 normal subjects. vep findings were correlated with the metabolic control of the disease and with the electroencephalographic findings. vep were more sensitive than the eeg in detecting a neurological dysf ...20113149700
production of prostaglandins and hete-compounds by isolated-cultivated bovine aortic endothelial cells.the main product of aa conversion by baec is pgi2. other pgs were synthesized by confluent cells only in traces with exception of a hht-like compound which has still to be characterized in more details. a significant release of hete was only detected when baec were destroyed. under these conditions about 1 pmole/10(5) cells 15- and 12 hete were released by baec. taken into account the amounts of hete produced by endothelial cells as well as the partially contradictory activities of 12- and 15-he ...19883150276
the use of imipramine in minor motor seizures.a study is presented of 15 pediatric patients treated with imipramine for uncontrolled seizures during the past two years. of these patients, 53% had an initial reduction of seizures of greater than 80%. at one year, 26% were still seizure-free. drop attacks were especially responsive to therapy; 100% (7/7) responded initially to imipramine therapy. most patients studied had been receiving valproate and another major antiepileptic drug prior to imipramine therapy. this study confirms previous re ...20113150277
anti-cancer therapy with valine-depleted amino acid imbalance solution.for the purpose of developing amino acid imbalance solution applicable to cancer treatment, we prepared seven kinds of amino acid imbalance solutions based on a 10% balanced amino acid solution and investigated the anti-tumor effects of each solution. the administration of valine-depleted amino acid solution for 8 days at a daily dose of 53 ml/rat (79.5 kcal/rat) resulted in the most significant inhibitory effects on the growth of hepatoma (ah109a) and mammary tumors (mrmt-1), the rate being 82. ...19883150873
the treatment of glomerulonephritis in children.the results of treatment of glomerulonephritis (gn) in childhood with oral corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, anticoagulants and the newer regimens of pulsed, high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone and plasma exchange are reviewed and compared with the natural history of the untreated condition. poststreptococcal gn and the nephritis of schönlein-henoch purpura need no specific treatment unless extensive glomerular crescents are present. the progression of mesangiocapillary gn can proba ...20113153019

vitamin d metabolite profiles in moderate renal insufficiency of childhood.in a prior study, we reported vitamin d metabolite profiles in the plasma of healthy children. in view of these findings, we investigated these same profiles in children with moderate renal insufficiency. specimens were obtained in both summer and winter in untreated patients, and before and after treatment for up to 1 year, with either 25(oh)d3 or 1,25(oh)2d3. mean pretreatment 1,25(oh)2d levels were normal. levels of 25(oh)d3 were also normal and continued to vary with season. mean pretreatmen ...20113153059
acute circulatory effects of doxorubicin in the conscious dog.experimental work on the mechanisms of acute doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity may contribute to a better understanding of the clinical problem of cardiac failure after treatment with anthracycline derivatives. we studied aortic pressure and heart rate continuously for 1 h following a bolus injection of doxorubicin (1 mg/kg) in 7 dogs. in contrast with previous studies in intact animals, no anesthesia was used in order to eliminate possible interactions of doxorubicin with other drugs. one minu ...19863153244
