attempted transmission to cattle of anaplasma marginale from overwintered dermacentor andersoni ticks.	since the 1983 summer outbreak of anaplasmosis in southern saskatchewan, the role of the tick, dermacentor andersoni as an overwintering reservoir for anaplasma marginale has been questioned. the purpose of this study was to determine if spring-collected ticks carried virulent a. marginale. sixteen splenectomized calves were assigned randomly to two groups of 14 principals and two controls. adult d. andersoni, collected in april from areas having high transmission rates of a. marginale, were con ...	1987	3651893
[the effect of trapidil and the trapidil derivative ar 12463 on blood pressure and thromboxane formation in spontaneously hypertensive rats].	the trapidil derivative ar 12463 has a much more stronger inhibiting effect than trapidil on different atherosclerotic parameters of the cell cultures obtained from normal intima and fatty streaks of human aorta, on thromboxane (tx) formation and on the aggregation of human platelets in vitro, and on the activity of phosphodiesterase. in addition to these present results, ar 12463 reduced significantly the mean arterial blood pressure of spontaneously hypertensive rats (at a dosage of 20 mg/kg/d ...	1987	3671447
synthesis of thiazole derivatives with positive inotropic effect.	thiazole derivatives with potential positive inotropic effect were synthesized. the highest activity (medium positive inotropic effect) was exhibited by ethyl 2-(2-hydroxyethylamino)-4-phenylthiazole-5-carboxylate (3b) of which several derivatives have been prepared. among these derivatives only those which could presumably easily removed in the living organism to give 3b exhibited a medium positive inotropic effect (6, 8b). it was assumed that the effect of 3b had a beta-agonist character.	1987	3671455
