| a sexual dimorphism of mucous cells in the submandibular salivary gland of rat. | submandibular glands of both sexes from one week to six months-old were serially sectioned, and mucous cells showing a strong positive stain to alcian blue ph 2.5, first detected at two weeks, showed a high degree of inter-sectional and inter-individual variability. in males, the percentage of animals having mucous cells increased with sexual maturation and attained 100 per cent at age six months. in females, the maximum (60 per cent) was reached by four weeks and then decreased with sexual matu ... | 1987 | 2451903 |
| generation of thyroglobulin-specific t-cell clones derived from f1 fisher rats. | we established t-cell clones from 'poor-responder' fisher rats specific for thyroglobulin (tg) with a view to examining tg presentation by cloned fisher rat thyroid (frtl) cells. from the screening of 60 t-cell clones, three high-responding tg-specific clones (b21.01, b21.04 and b21.05) were isolated from the lymph nodes of f1 generation (fisher x 'high-responder' buffalo) female rats immunized with murine tg in complete freund's adjuvant (cfa). three t-cell clones expressed a w3/25+, ox-8- phen ... | 1988 | 2454882 |
| use of alpha-1-antitrypsin staining in the diagnosis of nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver. | nodular regenerative hyperplasia (nrh) is a disorder characterized by regenerative nodules scattered diffusely throughout the liver without associated fibrosis. it is most often recognized at autopsy when the entire liver is available for inspection. the diagnosis of nrh by needle biopsy is much more subtle. since alpha-1-antitrypsin (aat) expression by hepatocytes in a variety of liver diseases has suggested that it may represent a marker for regenerative or damaged hepatocytes, we elected to s ... | 1988 | 2458312 |
| the measurement of cisplatin-dna adduct levels in testicular cancer patients. | seventeen patients with 'poor prognosis' non-seminomatous testicular cancer were monitored for formation of intrastrand bidentate n7-d(apg)- and n7-d(gpg)-diammineplatinum adducts in peripheral blood cell dna during the course of cisplatin-based chemotherapy. adduct values from blood cell dna samples were compared with disease response data from the same individuals. patients who received a dose of 40 mg/m2 cisplatin for 5 days generally formed more adducts than patients receiving 20 mg/m2 for 5 ... | 1988 | 2458857 |
| [structure of the o-specific polysaccharides and the protective activity of the lipopolysaccharides in pseudomonas aeruginosa of 7 immunotypes (after fisher)]. | the structure of o-specific polysaccharides and the protective activity of lipopolysaccharides (lps) obtained from seven p. aeruginosa immunotypes (according to fisher's classification) have been studied. the structure of o-specific polysaccharides, immunotypes 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, is identical to that of polysaccharides of serotypes 011; 0(2a), 2c; 01; 010a, 10b; 07a, 7d respectively. no structural analogs of o-polysaccharide characteristic of immunotypes 1 and 7 have been detected among serotypes ... | 1988 | 2459868 |
| seroma prevention using fibrin glue during modified radical neck dissection in a rat model. | seroma is a frequent sequelae of neck dissection involving cervical lymphadenectomy. the incidence is correlated with flap elevation, lymphovascular interruption, and tissue removal. current methods of resolving seroma, such as vacuum drainage, are not risk free. a novel approach to this problem was the use of intraoperative topical fibrin glue. a model producing seromas was developed by modified radical neck dissection on sprague-dawley rats. forty rats underwent this procedure. twenty rats wer ... | 1988 | 2459980 |
| the mechanism of tachykinin-induced bronchoconstriction in the rat. | the mammalian tachykinins substance p (sp) and neurokinin a (nka) are known to be present in sensory airway nerves of animals and humans. we studied the effect of mammalian and nonmammalian tachykinins on the conducting airways of anesthetized, mechanically ventilated fisher 344 rats. dose-dependent increases in lung resistance and decreases in dynamic compliance occurred after the intravenous administration of eledoisin (e), kassinin (k), nka, and sp. e, k, and nka were more potent bronchoconst ... | 1988 | 2461668 |
| enhanced induction of thyroid cell mhc class ii antigen expression in rats highly responsive to thyroglobulin. | initial experiments demonstrated that the degree of autoantibody and proliferative t cell responses to syngeneic rat thyroglobulin differed markedly between buffalo (high responder) and fisher (low responder) rats after classical immunization schedules. while varying immune responsiveness may be due to qualitative and quantitative t and b cell differences, the role of thyroid cell mhc class ii antigens may be pivotal to the onset of autoimmune thyroiditis in such animal models. we, therefore, ex ... | 1989 | 2466637 |
| lithium increases rat striatal beta- and gamma-preprotachykinin messenger rnas. | previous reports indicate that the antimanic drug, lithium, increases substance p-like immunoreactivity (sp-li) in the basal ganglia. the aim of this study was to use lithium as a pharmacological tool to further understand the mechanism of this process. we have used solution hybridization-nuclease protection assays to quantitate the specific preprotachykinin (ppt) mrnas and radioimmunoassays and immunocytochemistry to assess sp-li levels in the striatum of male fisher f-344 rats. a regimen of su ... | 1989 | 2467980 |
| [a study on accumulation of cholesterol in rat prostate]. | an experimental model of prostatic hypertrophy was created by freezing the urethra at the opening of the ventral prostate in rats and administering a cholesterol-rich diet to induce cholesterol accumulation. four-week-old fisher rats were divided into a control group, a cholesterol-rich diet group (by adding 1% cholesterol to the diet), a frozen group, and a frozen and cholesterol-rich diet group, and were reared for 5 months. the animals were killed, and the ventral prostate was removed, weighe ... | 1989 | 2472053 |
| [anthrax toxin dynamics in the body]. | anthrax toxin introduced subcutaneously into white rats fisher-344 caused specific intoxication accompanied by characteristic pathomorphological changes and, when studied by the immunoperoxidase method in histological sections, could be detected in the blood stream (in plasma) and in the cytoplasm of macrophages (in the lungs and the spleen). the content of the preparation introduced into the animals in the blood stream is directly related to its toxicity, being probably indicative of the relati ... | 1989 | 2472713 |
| penetrating keratoplasty in the rat: a model for the study of immunosuppressive treatment of graft rejection. | the present study reports corneal allogeneic transplantation in a rat model. the technique used was full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty. fisher rats were used as donors and lewis rats were used as recipients. the rate of acute rejection obtained in this model with this combination of strains was 100%. it therefore seems to be a very useful model for the study of rejection and for the study of new immunosuppressive treatment. the effect of systemic cyclosporine (csa) treatment on graft reject ... | 1989 | 2474684 |
| indications for cisternal drainage in conjunction with early surgery in ruptured aneurysms and timing of its discontinuation. | the efficacy of cisternal drainage in association with early aneurysmal surgery remains highly controversial. the authors attempted to clarify the indications for this procedure and the proper timing of drainage removal in a series of 205 patients with no evidence of intracerebral hematoma who underwent surgical obliteration of bleeding aneurysms within 72 hours after subarachnoid hemorrhage. the 136 patients in whom cisternal drainage was performed constituted group a and the remaining 69 patie ... | 1989 | 2477741 |
| traveling waves of in vitro evolving rna. | populations of short self-replicating rna variants have been confined to one side of a reaction-diffusion traveling wave front propagating along thin capillary tubes containing the q beta viral enzyme. the propagation speed is accurately measurable with a magnitude of about 1 micron/sec, and the wave persists for hundreds of generations (of duration less than 1 min). evolution of rna occurs in the wavefront, as established by front velocity changes and gel electrophoresis of samples drawn from a ... | 1989 | 2479013 |
| a cell mutant that exhibits temperature-dependent sensitivity to transformation by various oncogenes. | we previously isolated a fisher rat fibroblast mutant, b812, that has the unique property of temperature-dependent transformation by various oncogenic retroviruses. at the permissive temperature (35 degrees c), this mutant was sensitive to oncogenic transformation and formed foci on a dish at the same frequency as did the parental fibroblast cell line. when kirsten murine sarcoma virus (ki-msv) was applied to the cells, the frequency of focus formation decreased more than 25-fold at the nonpermi ... | 1989 | 2479832 |
| nicotinamide enhances skin flap survival. | the effects of nicotinamide in an abdominal island pedicle skin flap were examined. a 7 x 7 cm island pedicle skin flap ligating the left inferior neurovascular pedicle was created on 50 male sprague dawley rats (250-275 grams) that were divided into five groups. animals received either 0.6 cc of saline or doses of nicotinamide for 16 days (14 days preoperatively and 2 days postoperatively): 25 mg b.i.d., 50 mg b.i.d., 100 mg b.i.d. or 200 mg b.i.d. forty-eight hours postoperatively each animal ... | 1989 | 2482537 |
| placenta previa and congenital cardiac anomalies. | this study was designed to evaluate the association of placenta previa (pp) with cardiac anomalies in the fetus/neonate. the study group (n = 82 babies) was compared to a control group (n = 82) matched for maternal and gestational age. five babies of the study group expired within 24 h of delivery, and postmortem examination was carried out in 4 of them. the living children of the control and study group (51 of the 77 babies) underwent complete cardiac workup including physical examination, ecg, ... | 1989 | 2486886 |
| [c-reactive protein as early marker of chorioamnionitis in premature rupture of membranes]. | this study was done in order to correlate the c-reactive protein levels (crp) determined by nephelometric technique, with other infection indicators, and to know its exactness in early detection of chorioamnioitis. thirty patients were prospectively studied with pregnancies from 28 to 35 weeks of gestation with diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes (prm); and were compared to control group (30 patients) with similar gestation without prm, infection, autoimmune diseases or chronic inflammat ... | 1989 | 2486952 |
| use of verbal descriptors, thermal scores and electrical pulp testing as predictors of tooth pain before and after application of benzocaine gels into cavities of teeth with pulpitis. | a double-blind pilot study was conducted on 27 consenting human volunteers who had irreversible pulpitis associated with persistent toothache pain from open carious lesions. formulations tested contained either 0, 10%, or 20% benzocaine and were identified only by a numbered code. before the experiment started, a small amount of a known 5% benzocaine gel was placed for 1 minute on the tongue of each patient to assure a sensation of numbness within the oral cavity. then the test tooth was washed ... | 1989 | 2490060 |
| reovirus induction of mhc class ii antigen in rat thyroid cells. | we have previously demonstrated that cultured rat thyroid cells do not exhibit constitutive expression of major histocompatibility (mhc) class ii antigens. using reovirus types 1 and 3, we infected 1b-6 cells (a cloned derivative of the fisher rat cell line frtl-5), and found a dose-dependent induction of thyroid cell mhc class ii antigen expression as determined by laser flow cytometry and fitc-labelled ox-6 anti-rt1.b. as the number of viral particles/cell used for the infections increased fro ... | 1989 | 2491810 |
| isolation, structure, and immunogenicity of pseudomonas aeruginosa immunotype 4 high-molecular-weight polysaccharide. | a high-molecular-weight, immunogenic form of the lipopolysaccharide o side chain of pseudomonas aeruginosa fisher immunotype 4 (type 4, international antigenic typing system 1, lanyi o:6) was isolated and characterized. analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy confirmed the structural similarity of this high-molecular-weight polysaccharide and the type 4 o side chain. the polysaccharide was immunogenic in rabbits and mice, eliciting opsonophagocytic killing antibodies. immunization wi ... | 1989 | 2492260 |
| heat shock-induced appearance of rna polymerase ii in karyoskeletal protein-enriched (nuclear "matrix") fractions correlates with transcriptional shutdown in drosophila melanogaster. | heat shock in vivo or brief incubation at moderately elevated temperatures (15 min at 37 degrees c) in vitro is required for the structural stability of proteinaceous karyoskeletal elements purified from drosophila melanogaster (mcconnell, m., whalen, a. m., smith, d. e., and fisher, p. a. (1987) j. cell biol. 105, 1087-1098). we have found that the appearance of the two largest subunits of rna polymerase ii in karyoskeletal preparations is promoted by conditions identical to those which promote ... | 1989 | 2492538 |
| high specific activity [samarium-153] edta for imaging of experimental tumor models. | enriched samarium oxide (98.2% 152sm2o3) was irradiated in low neutron flux and high neutron flux reactors to produce 153sm with specific activities of 14.3 gbq and 22.1 tbq mmol-1 sm, respectively, at the time of use. formulation of 153sm as [153sm]edta, with a 1:10 molar ratio of sm:edta, provided a stable radiotracer in vitro and in vivo. high specific activity [153sm]edta showed superior uptake in cell culture (20.8 +/- 0.9% vs. 5.5 +/- 0.1% for 6 and 600 pmol sm per 10(6) cells, respectivel ... | 1989 | 2500500 |
| a reappraisal of the epidemiology of phenotypes of neisseria gonorrhoeae. | we analyzed published data from studies of the epidemiology of gonococcal auxotype/serovar phenotypes in seattle and king county, washington; denver, colorado; and miami and dade county, florida, to determine whether the numbers of new phenotypes were within the ranges of numbers predicted from previous observations in the same populations. for this analysis, we used the model of fisher and good and turing. in all the analyses, the observed number of new species was within the 95% confidence reg ... | 1989 | 2500719 |
| thyrotropin-releasing hormone (trh)-gly conversion to trh in rat ventral prostate is inhibited by castration and aging. | trh levels in rat prostate are very high in the 2-month-old rat and decline at least 90% during the next 2 yr. this decline in prostatic trh levels with aging may be a significant factor in benign prostatic hypertrophy in man and other animals. because prostatic trh correlates positively with serum testosterone and negatively with serum thyroid hormone levels, we have examined the possibility that the age-related decline in prostatic trh is hormonally regulated. trh and a trh precursor peptide, ... | 1989 | 2502375 |
| recognition and binding of template-primers containing defined abasic sites by drosophila dna polymerase alpha holoenzyme. | human dna polymerase alpha holoenzyme follows an ordered sequential terreactant mechanism of substrate recognition and binding (wong, s. w., paborsky, l. r., fisher, p. a., wang, t. s.-f., and korn, d. (1986) j. biol. chem. 261, 7958-7968). we confirmed this mechanism for the dna polymerase alpha holoenzyme purified from drosophila melanogaster embryos and studied the interaction of drosophila pol alpha with synthetic oligonucleotide template-primers containing modified tetrahydrofuran moieties ... | 1989 | 2502545 |
| the structure and serologic distribution of an extracellular neutral polysaccharide from pseudomonas aeruginosa immunotype 3. | previous work has described small molecular weight neutral polysaccharides from isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa that appear to be associated with the lipopolysaccharide (lps) and distributed across serologic barriers defined by antibody to the o side chain. we have isolated and characterized another of these structures obtained from culture supernatants of an immunotype 3 strain of p. aeruginosa. the isolated neutral polysaccharide has a tetrasaccharide repeat unit: (formula; see text) where ... | 1989 | 2504722 |
| difference in catalepsy response in inbred rats during chronic haloperidol treatment is not predictive of the intensity of behavioral hypersensitivity which subsequently develops. | an animal model was utilized to explore the observed clinical association between a history of significant neuroleptic-induced parkinsonism and an increased incidence for the subsequent development of tardive dyskinesia. catalepsy-sensitive fisher rats and catalepsy-resistant brown norway rats were treated for 14 days with haloperidol at a dose of either 1 mg/kg or 5 mg/kg daily. following a 7-day drug withdrawal period, rats were tested for behavioral hypersensitivity to acute challenge with ap ... | 1989 | 2505286 |
| large virchow-robin spaces: mr-clinical correlation. | high-field mr scans frequently show virchow-robin spaces, which conform to the path of the penetrating arteries as they enter either the basal ganglia or the cortical gray matter over the high convexities. a retrospective review of 816 mr scans was undertaken to determine the clinical significance and associations (if any) of this finding. the virchow-robin spaces were graded, as were the nonspecific white-matter lesions. the presence of atrophy, infarction, hydrocephalus, and miscellaneous dise ... | 2008 | 2505536 |
| blockade of conditioned avoidance responding by trazodone, etoperidone, and mcpp. | phenylpiperazines, such as meta-chlorophenylpiperazine (mcpp) a serotonin agonist, have recently been reported to block conditioned avoidance responding (car) in the rat, which is an indication of possible antipsychotic utility. since mcpp is a major metabolite of both antidepressant drugs trazodone (tz) and etoperidone (et), both were examined for activity in blocking car in a single-trial lever press task in fisher 344 rats. both tz and et produced dose-related falls in car with ed50 values (9 ... | 1989 | 2506609 |
| growth hormone (gh) secretion in the pituitary-grafted male rat: in vivo effects of gh-releasing hormone and isoproterenol and in vitro release by individual somatotropes. | although the pituitary-grafted rat is a classic model of chronic prl excess, the presence of somatotropes in grafted pituitary tissue indicates a potential for gh secretion. the current study was designed to investigate gh-releasing hormone (grh)-induced gh secretion and beta-adrenergic inhibition of gh release in animals bearing ectopic pituitary tissue free from hypothalamic control. positive findings with regard to these in vivo experiments led us to an initial determination of gh secretion b ... | 1989 | 2507290 |
| lectin typing of pseudomonas aeruginosa strains of different serogroups, habs and fisher types. | sixteen habs and three fisher types of pseudomonas aeruginosa were typed with lectins of know specificity resulting from their interaction with bacterial cell surface carbohydrates as evidenced by agglutination-inhibition assay with simple carbohydrates. lipopolysaccharides of few strains of pseudomonas are precipitated with different lectins and the results are corroborated by those of agglutination suggesting that pseudomonas aeruginosa can be characterized intraspecifically by lectins. | 1989 | 2508658 |
| isolation and characterization of a human monoclonal antibody that recognizes epitopes shared by pseudomonas aeruginosa immunotype 1, 3, 4, and 6 lipopolysaccharides. | a hybridoma line secreting a human monoclonal antibody (hmab) capable of recognizing fisher immunotype (it) 1, 3, 4, and 6 lipopolysaccharide (lps) in vitro was isolated. peripheral blood lymphocytes (pbl) were obtained from volunteers immunized with an experimental pseudomonas aeruginosa o polysaccharide-toxin a vaccine. pbl-expressing surface antibodies able to bind to p. aeruginosa lps were isolated by adsorption onto lps-coated plastic wells. such pbl were transformed with epstein-barr virus ... | 1989 | 2509371 |
| sarcocystis sp. in mountain goats (oreamnos americanus) in washington: prevalence and search for the definitive host. | during october and november 1986, sarcocystis sp. was detected in 24 of 56 (43%) tongues from hunter-killed mountain goats (oreamnos americanus) in washington (usa). sarcocysts had an unusual sessile polyp-shaped branched wall. mean size of 154 sarcocysts was 71.3 x 37.8 microns (range, 20 to 248 x 10 to 120 microns), and the mean intensity was 2.3 (range, 1 to 28). in an attempt to identify the definitive host, infected tongues were fed to four coyotes (canis latrans), eight domestic dogs, four ... | 1989 | 2509738 |
| inhibition of implantation of murine bladder tumor by thiotepa in cauterized bladder. | this study was designed to determine the role of immediate intravesical instillation of single dose thiotepa post transurethral resection of bladder tumor in the prevention of recurrence by tumor implantation, using murine bladder tumor line 2 and 201 c3h/he mice. previous studies have suggested implantation may take place as early as the first hour and reach its maximum in 24 hours after resection of bladder tumor. an in vitro dose response curve of mbt2 to thiotepa was established by treatment ... | 1989 | 2511340 |
| [specific intoxication in anthrax infection]. | the pathomorphological picture of experimental b. anthracis infection in white rats (strain fisher-344) essentially corresponds to experimental anthracic intoxication with very moderately pronounced morphological manifestation of b. anthracis invasion. this indicates that specific anthracic intoxication is an essential component of the pathological process in b. anthracis infection. | 1989 | 2511710 |
| effects of diethylstilboestrol on testicular function and luteinizing hormone receptors. | adult male fisher-344 rats were implanted with des-filled or empty silastic capsules. after 14 weeks, capsules were removed and a second group of rats received des capsules. seven weeks later, all the rats were sacrificed. des treatment decreased body, testes and seminal vesicle weights, and removal of the capsules partially restored the weight of these organs. the concentration of testicular lh receptors was increased by des treatment. circulating prl levels were increased and gonadotropin leve ... | 1989 | 2515561 |
| [2 methods for the study of differential mortality based on sex: rates ratio and orthogonal regression]. | sex mortality differential is studied for all the causes of death, in la coruña (galicia, spain), according to geographic area, zone (urban, semiurban and countryside) and decade (1961-1970 y 1971-1980). two study methods are compared: a) rate ratio (with direct age-adjusted rates); and b): differential (dj) between observed rate (m) and expected rate (m), for male mortality, according to female level (orthogonal regression model). t-student-fisher tests have been used to compare an observed mea ... | 2016 | 2517786 |
| [results of cross-species transplantation of substantia nigra to the lateral ventricle of the brain of rats with experimentally-induced parkinson disease]. | the method of compensation of dopamine (da) deficit in the striatum by living, da producing cells implanted into the brain, creates new hopes for patients with parkinson's disease. in view of many ethical and legal problems, connected in some countries with obtaining human fetal tissue for transplantation, cross-species transplants would be an attractive alternative. the subject of our investigation was the problem of survival and functioning of embryonal substantia nigra (sn) neurons, taken fro ... | 1989 | 2518574 |
| intravenous nicardipine for treatment of intraoperative hypertension during abdominal surgery. | twenty patients, american society of anesthesiologists class i or ii, who developed intraoperative hypertension (mean arterial pressure greater than 110 mm hg) during abdominal surgery under balanced general anesthesia were randomly assigned to two groups. the nicardipine group (n = 10) received 5 mg of nicardipine hydrochloride, and the placebo group (n = 10) received 5 ml of nicardipine solvent injected intravenously over a 5-minute period in a blind manner. arterial pressure was recorded for ... | 1989 | 2521027 |
| the calmodulin binding domain of the plasma membrane ca2+ pump interacts both with calmodulin and with another part of the pump. | synthetic peptides corresponding to the calmodulin-binding domain of the human erythrocyte ca2+ pump were prepared representing residues 2-29 (c28w), 2-21 (c20w), 2-16 (c15w), and 16-29 (c14) of the sequence (james, p., maeda, m., fisher, r., verma, a. k., krebs, j., penniston, j. t., and carafoli, e. (1988) j. biol. chem. 263, 2905-2910). peptides c28w, c20w, and c15w bound to calmodulin with an apparent 1:1 stoichiometry in the presence of ca2+ and inhibited the activation of the ca2+ pump by ... | 1989 | 2526124 |
| interleukins production and responsiveness in fisher rats with adjuvant-induced disease: role of suppressor cells. | splenic macrophages from aid fisher rats produce normal levels of il-1, in contrast to il-2 which is significantly lower than normal. a state of hyporesponsiveness of spleen cells to con-a and pha occurs with similar kinetics to and is correlated with the development of an articular arthritis; il-1 addition to aid spleen cell cultures does restore to normal their deficient response, in contrast to addition of il-2 or ril-2. the spleen cells from normal or aid rats are equally sensitive to the in ... | 1989 | 2526223 |
| complementation of enteric adenovirus type 40 for lytic growth in tissue culture by e1b 55k function of adenovirus types 5 and 12. | the enteric adenovirus type 40 strain dugan (ad40) cannot be passaged in hela cells, but will grow in 293 cells, which express ad5 e1 functions. to determine the reason for this limited host range, kb cell lines expressing ad2 e1a, e1b, or e1a + e1b (l. e. babiss, c. s. h. young, p. b. fisher, and h. s. ginsberg, 1983, j. virol. 46, 454-465) have been tested for their ability to support ad40 replication. only cell lines which supply e1b functions, but not those expressing e1a alone, are permissi ... | 1989 | 2527440 |
| functional analysis of lymphocytes subpopulations in experimental cocaine abuse. i. dose-dependent activation of lymphocyte subsets. | the potential role of substance abuse, especially cocaine and alcohol as co-factor in hiv infection and in the development and expression of aids has been suggested, but the possible biological role of substance abuse in the development of aids is not known. in order to better understand immune system function in chronic cocaine abuse, we have assessed primary b cell responses to helper t-cell independent (ti) and dependent (td) antigens in inbred fisher male rats injected with 1.25-5 mg cocaine ... | 1989 | 2528433 |
| effect of cyproterone acetate in comparison to flutamide on the ventral prostate of adult male castrated copenhagen-fisher rats and on dunning r-3327 h tumors. | in this investigation the effect of cpa was tested in comparison to fl after the procedure of double blinding on the ventral prostate of 70 adult male castrated copenhagen-fisher rats and on the dunning r-3327 h tumor. total androgen blockade by castration plus cpa or by castration plus fl induced significant decrease in prostate weight compared to the androgen deprivation by castration alone. no significant difference between cpa and fl was observed. furthermore it was impossible to exaggerate ... | 1989 | 2530921 |
| [relationship between heart mass and semi-ambulatory pressure profiles]. | this work was undertaken with 420 patients (90 normotensives: casual blood pressure less than or equal to 140/90 mmhg and 330 hypertensives) in which was recorded a semi ambulatory blood pressure profile (dinamap 8am-8pm, a reading every fifteen minutes). on the same day an echocardiogram was performed. we have correlated the left ventricular mass, the left ventricular mass index, the interventricular septum, the left ventricular cavity volume and the left ventricular posterior wall with casual ... | 1989 | 2530949 |
| normal brain tissue response to photodynamic therapy: histology, vascular permeability and specific gravity. | the response of photodynamic therapy on normal brain was investigated in 140 fisher rats. the rats were injected i.p. with photofrin ii (12.5 mg/kg) and 48 h later the dural area over the frontal cortex was photoactivated with red light (630 +/- 1 nm) from an argon dye laser. treatment was performed with optical energy densities of 140 and 70 j/cm2. histopathology, vascular permeability and specific gravity measurements were conducted on different populations of rats at 4 h, 24 h, 72 h and 1 wee ... | 1989 | 2533693 |
| immunological functions in food-restricted rats: enhanced expression of high-affinity interleukin-2 receptors on splenic t cells. | several immunological functions of b and t cells including il-2 receptor expression on t cells were measured in 12-month-old fisher-344 male rats maintained from 6 weeks of age on an ad libitum (al) or a 40% food-restricted (fr) diet. direct anti-srbc plaque-forming cell (pfc) assays revealed a higher response in fr rats than in al rats when splenocytes were cultured with or without recombinant interleukin-2 (ril-2). b cell functions were studied by using nylon wool-purified splenic b cells stim ... | 1989 | 2534390 |
| results of conservative surgery and radiation therapy for multiple synchronous cancers of one breast. | a small number of patients with early stage breast cancer are found on presentation to have two or more separate carcinomas within the breast. to assess the effectiveness of conservative surgery and radiation therapy in these patients we compared treatment outcome among 10 patients with multiple lesions (21 cancers) and 707 patients with single lesions, treated at the joint center for radiation therapy between 1968-1981. median follow-up was 64 months and 75 months for the multiple and single le ... | 1989 | 2536361 |
| triethyllead-induced peroxidative damage in various regions of the rat brain. | adult male fisher 344 rats (8-10 wk old) were dosed ip with 1.75 mg/kg body weight of triethyllead chloride (tel) for 5 consecutive days. rats were sacrificed 1, 7, or 21 d after the last injection. the rate of lipid peroxidation was significantly elevated in frontal cortex at all three time points assayed (1, 7, or 21 d). however, hippocampal and cerebellar membranes showed no changes in peroxidative capacity at these time points. in order to determine whether cortical membrane damage was refle ... | 1989 | 2537905 |
| vip receptors and content after bowel transplantation. | advances in immunosuppressive therapy have renewed interest in small bowel transplantation. little is known, however, about the functional capacity of transplanted intestine. to clarify the potential for normal function, we investigated whether elements of the enteric nervous system are preserved after denervation in our rat model of intestinal transplantation. we investigated whether vip, a major peptide neurotransmitter of the enteric nervous system, and its receptors are preserved in the bowe ... | 1989 | 2541280 |
| diagnostic usefulness of mycobacterial skin test antigens in childhood lymphadenitis. | nontuberculous mycobacterial (ntm) infections are a frequent cause of chronic lymphadenitis in children. previous studies of ntm antigen skin testing were inconclusive as a result of problems with study design and antigen formulation. the present study was undertaken with the centers for disease control to determine whether newly formulated ntm skin test antigens applied in a double blind manner with a standard purified protein derivative could accurately distinguish ntm infections from those ca ... | 1989 | 2541397 |
