a nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drug exacerbates coxsackie b3 murine myocarditis.nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs are often used to treat myalgias and arthralgias in enteroviral infections, but their effects on acute viral myocarditis are unknown. the effect of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, ibuprofen, on acute viral myocarditis was studied in 75 four week old male balb/c mice infected with 1.75 x 10(7) plaque-forming units of coxsackie virus b3 on day 0. ibuprofen was given intraperitoneally at a dose of 15 mg/kg body weight daily. the mice were assigned to four ...19852995470
opiate- and alpha 2-adrenoceptor-induced hyperpolarizations of locus ceruleus neurons in brain slices: reversal by cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate analogues.the purpose of this study was to investigate the ionic and second messenger mechanisms underlying the hyperpolarizations induced by the selective alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist clonidine and the opiate agonist morphine in the locus ceruleus. intracellular recordings were carried out in rat brain slices, and drugs at known concentrations were administered in the perfusate. the cyclic adenosine 3':5'-monophosphate (camp) analogues 8-bromo-camp and dibutyryl camp, while not altering basal activity, r ...19852993542
macrophage colony-stimulating factor (m-csf) enhances the capacity of murine macrophages to secrete oxygen reduction products.the capacity of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (m-csf) to enhance respiratory burst activity in peritoneal macrophages was measured. macrophages incubated for 48 hr or more with concentrated l cell-conditioned medium as a source of m-csf released two to three times as much o2- in response to pma as did unexposed macrophages. stimulation was noted at concentrations of colony-stimulating activity from 0.1 to 2000 u/ml and was maximal at 10 to 100 u/ml. purified, endotoxin-free csf enhanced s ...20102991376
receptors for epidermal growth factor in the rat uterus.uterine membranes contain high affinity [dissociation constant (kd) = 0.36 nm], saturable binding sites for [125i]iodo-epidermal growth factor (egf). the binding of [125i] iodo-egf is specific since it is abolished by excess unlabeled egf but not by excess unlabeled insulin, fibroblast growth factor, or multiplication-stimulating activity. incubation of [125i] iodo-egf with uterine membranes, followed by chemical cross-linking with disuccinimidyl suberate and detergent extraction reveals a major ...19852988913
conditioned taste aversion suppresses induction of delayed-type hypersensitivity immune reactions.conditioned taste aversion was induced in mice by pairing saccharin drinking with an intraperitoneal injection of lithium chloride, a toxic but nonimmunosuppressive drug. conditioned mice showed not only suppressed saccharin drinking but also a 75% reduction in the induction of delayed-type hypersensitivity immune responses to low doses of sheep erythrocytes. this effect was observed with doses of lithium chloride which had no effect of their own on immune functions. in addition, a reduction in ...19852987987
respiratory syncytial virus fusion glycoprotein: nucleotide sequence of mrna, identification of cleavage activation site and amino acid sequence of n-terminus of f1 subunit.the amino acid sequence of respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein (fo) was deduced from the sequence of a partial cdna clone of mrna and from the 5' mrna sequence obtained by primer extension and dideoxysequencing. the encoded protein of 574 amino acids is extremely hydrophobic and has a molecular weight of 63371 daltons. the site of proteolytic cleavage within this protein was accurately mapped by determining a partial amino acid sequence of the n-terminus of the larger subunit (f1) purifie ...19852987829
respiration-driven na+ pump and na+ circulation in vibrio parahaemolyticus.sodium circulation in vibrio parahaemolyticus was investigated. we observed respiration-driven na+ extrusion from cells by using a na+ electrode. the na+ extrusion was insensitive to a proton conductor, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone, and sensitive to a respiratory inhibitor, cn-. these results support the idea of the existence of a respiratory na+ pump in v. parahaemolyticus. the respiration-driven na+ extrusion was observed only under alkaline conditions.19852985548
measuring gene expression with light.light is produced by recombinant escherichia coli that contain lux genes cloned from the marine bacterium vibrio fischeri. the bioluminescence phenotype requires genes for regulatory and biochemical functions, the latter encoded by five lux genes contained in a single operon. these lux genes were disconnected from their native promoter and inserted into the transposon mini-mu. the resulting transposon, mini-mulux, could induce mutations by insertional inactivation of a target gene, and the lux d ...19852983423

the source of malonyl-coa in rat heart. the calcium paradox releases acetyl-coa carboxylase and not propionyl-coa carboxylase.the formation of malonyl-coa in rat heart is catalyzed by cytosolic acetyl-coa carboxylase. the existence of this enzyme in heart is difficult to prove by the abundant occurrence of mitochondrial propionyl-coa carboxylase, which is also able to catalyze the carboxylation of acetyl-coa. we used the calcium paradox as a tool to separate cytosolic components from the remaining heart, and found that acetyl-coa carboxylase activity was preferentially released, like lactate dehydrogenase and carnitine ...19862869975

somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (sli) in pancreatic and intestinal tissues of the duck. a possible origin for the portal circulating sli.substances with somatostatin-like immunoreactivity (sli) were extracted using 2 n acetic acid, from the three pancreatic lobes and the intestine of the duck. the concentration of sli was found to be very high in the pancreas (4.2 micrograms/g wet weight), the splenic lobe containing 80% of pancreatic sli compared with 10% for the dorsal and 10% for the ventral lobes. sli was equally distributed between duodenum, jejunum and ileum and between their mucosal and muscular layers. chromatography of p ...19852867025
antihypertensive therapy: newer concepts and agents.major advances have taken place in recent years with respect to our understanding of hypertensive diseases, the mechanisms of action of other therapeutic agents, and the introduction of new classes of drugs. standard therapy today uses the basic of employing nonpharmacological modalities. thereafter a stepped-care program with pharmacological entities has been advocated using diuretic, antiadrenergic, and vasodilating agents. however, new modes of action have been introduced therapeutically duri ...20092866842
antihypertensive therapy with once-daily administration of terazosin, a new alpha 1-adrenergic-receptor blocker.the antihypertensive activity of terazosin, an investigational alpha 1-adrenergic-receptor blocker, and its effect on blood lipids were compared with placebo in a double-blind study. after a 3-week placebo baseline period, patients were randomized to receive terazosin (n = 22) or placebo (n = 16). the dose of terazosin was titrated over 2 weeks to a maintenance dosage of 10 mg once daily for 4 weeks. antihypertensive efficacy was assessed: (1) at the end of the 24-hour dosing interval by compari ...20102866492

post-translational processing of anglerfish islet somatostatin precursors.two distinct somatostatin precursors are synthesized in anglerfish (af) islets. in addition to a precursor which has somatostatin 14 (ss-14) as a c-terminal cleavage product, a precursor which contains at its c-terminus [tyr7, gly10] ss-14 as a potential cleavage product is also synthesized. however, even though an arg-lys pair is located immediately n-terminal to ala1 of the c-terminal tetradecapeptide, [tyr7, gly10]ss-14 was not found in significant amounts in extracts of af islets. instead, a ...20102863927

elective testicular biopsy during chemotherapy for childhood leukaemia is of no clinical value.the clinical value of early detection of testicular leukaemia was assessed by elective wedge biopsy during the 12th or 18th month of therapy in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. biopsy samples were taken in 106 of 238 consecutively treated boys who attained complete remission; only 1 had occult disease. samples were also taken in 2 boys with testicular leukaemia at diagnosis as soon as they achieved complete remission, and in 14 others at the end of therapy; none showed evidence of le ...20102863443
[physiological and pharmacologic studies of the adrenal medulla by the measurement of plasma catecholamine levels].the new techniques for the assay of the plasma catecholamines: noradrenaline, dopamine and, most importantly, adrenaline, because of their sensitivity and precision, have provided new information about the physiology and the pharmacology of the adrenal medulla in animals and in man. the most effective of these new techniques are the radioenzymatic techniques. the activation of the adrenal medulla in the dog or the rat appears to be frequency-dependent by maintaining a fixed concentration ratio i ...19852863423
lymphatic transport of sodium cefoxitin in the presence of sodium 5-methoxysalicylate after injection into rat rectal connective tissue, femoral muscle and femoral vein.lymphatic uptake of sodium cefoxitin after injection into rectal connective tissue was greater than after injection into the femoral muscle of rats. coadministration with sodium 5-methoxysalicylate enhanced lymphatic drug uptake at both sites. this enhancement may be an indirect result of 5-methoxysalicylate's suppression of vascular permeation of the cefoxitin. an adjuvant-induced increase in lymphatic fluid flow may also be partially involved in the enhancement of cefoxitin lymphatic transport ...19852863362
