lidocaine inhibits prolactin secretion in gh4c1 cells by blocking calcium influx.the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of local anesthetics on hormone secretion was studied in the gh4c1 line of rat pituitary tumor-derived cells. lidocaine between 0.1 and 5 mm exerted significant dose-dependent inhibition on the increment in cytosol ca2+ concentration ([ca2+]i) and prolactin (prl) secretion induced by 30 mm k+. for both effects the ic50 was 0.25 mm and maximal inhibition occurred at 5 mm. a normal response returned within 20 min after removal of lidocaine from the incubation ...19921280232
a quantitative assessment of the cytotoxicity associated with chromosomal aberration detection in chinese hamster ovary cells.regulatory guidelines suggest testing chemicals up to cytotoxic doses in chromosomal-aberration assays. to investigate the utility and limitations of various cytotoxicity indicators we used chinese hamster ovary (cho) cells to test 8 chemicals with differing ratios of cytotoxicity to clastogenicity. we measured immediate or delayed cell killing and growth inhibition (atp levels, cell counts, colony-forming efficiency, cfe) and cell-cycle perturbations (mitotic index, mi; average generation time, ...20021370242
oral susceptibility of aedes albopictus to dengue type 2 virus: a study of infection kinetics, using the polymerase chain reaction for viral detection.female aedes albopictus mosquitoes, aged 1 week, were infected with den-2 dengue virus. the kinetics of infection in mosquito brain and mesenteron were monitored using dna probes with polymerase chain reaction (pcr) amplification of target dna sequences coding for den-2 virus envelope protein, compared with the standard immunofluorescence assay technique (ifa). rates of virus detection in the mesenteron of orally infected mosquitoes rose to 38% by day 4 post-inoculation, then declined until day ...19921463895
surface properties of mussel adhesive protein component films.mussel adhesive protein (map) is the adhesive agent used by the blue sea mussel (mytilus edulis) to attach the animal to various underwater surfaces. it is composed of 75-->85 repeating decameric units with the reported primary sequence nh2-a(1)-k(2)-p(3)-s(4)-y(5)-hyp(6)-hyp(7)-t(8)-dopa(9)-k(10)-cooh. this study identifies and compares the surface properties of the decameric unit, selected fragments and individual amino acid constituents with the complete map preparation. these molecular syste ...20061472585
statistical methods that distinguish between attributes of assessment: prolongation of life versus quality of life.the authors propose a method to generate information relevant to the decision tree that adds additional perspective to the characterization of health quality during survival. their approach uses survival data to distinguish two attributes of utility: prolongation of life and quality of life (qol). health-state transition probabilities correspond to the prolongation of life and are modeled in a discrete-time transient semi-markov process. quality-of-life-state transition probabilities are derived ...20031573984
location of phosphotyrosine-containing proteins by immunocytochemistry in the rat forebrain corresponds to the distribution of the insulin receptor.cellular regulation by certain growth factor receptors and protooncogene products involves tyrosine kinase activity with the resultant tyrosine phosphorylation of protein substrates. in the present report we describe the distribution of phosphotyrosine-containing material detected by immunocytochemistry (icc) in the rat forebrain. specificity of the affinity-purified antibody against phosphotyrosine used in the icc technique was demonstrated by the ability of phosphotyrosine and p-nitrophenyl ph ...19901693770
[diagnostic and interventional radiology in pulmonary embolism].the clinical picture of pulmonary embolism (pe) ist remarkably unspecific and one has to rely mainly on imaging techniques to obtain a reliable diagnosis. pe is not a primary disease but the complication of deep venous thrombosis (dvt), and thus there is a strong correlation between pulmonary embolism and venous thrombosis. radiologic screening of these diseases is based on invasive and noninvasive tests. chest x-ray has a low predictive value of 63% and helps mainly in ruling out other diagnose ...20071947962

resistance control in hypertension.in hypertension the small arteries undergo structural changes that increase vascular resistance, both in vivo and in vitro. the hallmark of a physiological vascular amplifier is that enhanced resistance responses must occur about the resting value. for this to happen, the average radius of the resistance vessels must be narrower than normal; increased wall thickness without narrowing does not result in this type of amplification. in primary hypertension in spontaneously hypertensive rats (shr), ...19892681590
[phenotype study of varieties of carcinomas originating in the oro-pharyngo-laryngeal mucosa. anatomo-clinical considerations].an immunohistological analysis with a panel of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies was performed in 20 cases of squamous cell carcinoma originating in the oral cavity, oropharynx and larynx. the epithelial antigens were detected in all cases with variable patterns of positivity: cytokeratins and epithelial membrane antigen were positive in a high number of neoplastic cells in the carcinomas with a high grade of differentiation, whereas a lesser number of positive cells was observed in the poorl ...20092695818
bombesin-induced hypothermia in the insulin-treated rat: effect on tail-skin temperature.bombesin-like peptides are widely distributed in the mammalian central nervous system and appear to participate in the regulation of a variety of autonomic functions. bombesin has been shown to alter feeding behavior, locomotor activity, and thermoregulation. microinfusion of bombesin into the preoptic area of the hypothalamus produces a reduction in core body temperature, but only if the rat has been cold-exposed, food-deprived, or pretreated with insulin. the mechanism for bombesin-induced hyp ...19892695893
the concept of mental illness.in recent years it has often been suggested that there is no such thing as mental illness. in naive cartesianism this assertion starts out from the assumption that illness may develop solely from physical causes. before clarifying what mental illness is, we should ask what is understood by the general notion of 'illness'. a constituent of the general disease concept is an unvoluntary and sufficiently serious disturbance of vital functions that needs to be defined in detail-and not just any regio ...20082695924
the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy with and without clomiphene citrate use in assisted and nonassisted reproductive technology.an eleven-year review of treatment records of patients who became pregnant as a result of infertility treatment (n = 3692) was conducted. all records were examined to determine whether clomiphene citrate (cc) was used in the cycle of conception and whether or not an ectopic pregnancy occurred. data were additionally analyzed for the incidence of ectopic pregnancy with and without assisted reproductive technology (art). the incidence of ectopic pregnancy was similar between cc (3.4%) and non-cc ( ...19892698906
maximal relaxation rates of esophageal, nose, and mouth pressures during a sniff reflect inspiratory muscle fatigue.maximal relaxation rate (mrr, % pressure fall/10 msec) of the inspiratory muscles is reduced with fatigue. we have investigated whether mrr of esophageal pressure (pes) generated by voluntary sniffs is decreased by fatigue, and whether sniff nasopharyngeal (pnp) and mouth (pmo) mrr reflect these changes. in 10 normal subjects, control mrr of sniff pes correlated closely to pnp mrr (r = 0.977, p less than 0.001) and pmo mrr (r = 0.947, p less than 0.001). to produce inspiratory muscle fatigue, fo ...20072712448
strategies for developing innovative programs in international medical education. a viewpoint from africa.postgraduate medical education is an important factor in africa's present emphasis on health care as a basis for socioeconomic development. such education must be relevant to the realities of health problems in africa. the priority of most african governments is training in traditional health care management and in fields related to community- and problem-based medicine. presently, opportunities for such training exist in only seven centers throughout africa. a model health care system, offered ...20092713022
measurement of nonuniform current densities and current kinetics in aplysia neurons using a large patch method.a large patch electrode was used to measure local currents from the cell bodies of aplysia neurons that were voltage-clamped by a two-microelectrode method. patch currents recorded at the soma cap, antipodal to the origin of the axon, and whole-cell currents were recorded simultaneously and normalized to membrane capacitance. the patch electrode could be reused and moved to different locations which allowed currents from adjacent patches on a single cell to be compared. the results show that the ...20082713443

differential effects of adrenergic agonists and phorbol esters on the alpha 1-adrenoceptors of hepatocytes and aorta.epinephrine, norepinephrine and phenylephrine stimulate phosphatidylinositol labeling with [32p]pi in both rat hepatocytes and rabbit aorta. methoxamine was a full agonist for this effect in rabbit aorta whereas cirazoline and oxymetazoline were partial agonists. in contrast, these three agents (methoxamine, cirazoline and oxymetazoline) were unable to stimulate phosphatidylinositol labeling in rat hepatocytes. furthermore, cirazoline and oxymetazoline were able to displace the dose-response cur ...19852862055

binding parameters and microbiological activity of macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramins against staphylococcus aureus.parameters of erythromycin binding to staphylococcus aureus were measured in-vitro using an equilibrium method with [3h]erythromycin. the dissociation constant of the complex, erythromycin-s. aureus sensitive strain, was kd = 0.11 microm. the maximal binding, representing the density of binding sites was 14,847 molecules/cell. no binding was detectable on the constitutive resistant strain. macrolides, streptogramins and lincosamides displaced bound [3h]erythromycin by a competitive process indic ...19872884302
somatostatin release from dispersed hypothalamic cells: effects of diabetes.we examined the release of growth hormone-release inhibiting factor (somatostatin) from dispersed hypothalamic cells obtained from mature diabetic rodents and normal age-matched controls, in an attempt to demonstrate a possible hypothalamic defect which might underlie some of the reported abnormalities in somatotrophic function in diabetes mellitus. insulinopoenic diabetes was induced by either streptozotocin or alloxan. somatostatin release from cells from diabetic rats was diminished both basa ...19872895719
hla-dr typing using restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) with one enzyme and two probes.a panel of 43 homozygous and 36 heterozygous highly selected cells, representing the most common dr-specificities, were investigated with the dna hybridization technique. by using a single restriction enzyme, taqi, and two probes, dr beta and dq alpha, it was possible to construct assignment criteria giving a reasonable definition of dr1, 3, 4, 5, 7 + w9, w8, w10 and w11. the criteria sometimes require that certain bands must not be present. therefore, in certain genotypic combinations, the pres ...20102897728
changes in neurotransmitter uptake in the spinal cord following peripheral nerve injury.changes in neurotransmitter systems of the spinal cord were studied in response to peripheral nerve injury. the uptake and compartmentalization of radiolabeled spinal cord neurotransmitters and transmitter precursors were examined as a function of time following unilateral sciatic nerve crush in adult mice. accumulation of transmitter was measured within synaptosomally enriched fractions prepared using combinations of differential and density gradient centrifugations. the amount of transmitter s ...20102901793
enhancement of dynorphin gene expression in spinal cord following experimental inflammation: stimulus specificity, behavioral parameters and opioid receptor binding.the stimulus specificity for enhancement of dynorphin gene expression in rat spinal cord was studied by combined measurements of the peptide dynorphin a 1-8 and preprodynorphin mrna levels during peripheral inflammation induced by several agents. the density of kappa receptors, the putative receptor for dynorphin peptides, was examined using receptor binding with autoradiographic visualization. mu and delta receptor classes were also studied. all inflammatory agents tested (carrageenan, phorbol ...19882906426
