| [homology between the lpm system of allotypes in the american mink and the gp system of allotypes in the domestic pig]. | the 5 alpha-macroglobulin allotypes alpha m1, alpha m2, alpha m3, alpha m4 and alpha m5 were identified in pig. the alpha m1 allotype was reported as a marker of pig alpha-macroglobulin, the latter being homologous to alpha 2-macroglobulins in human and in mink. the allotypes alpha m2-alpha m5 were specified as markers of the second isotypical variant of pig alpha-macroglobulins, which was homologous to mink lpm macroglobulin (alpha 1m). as seen from data obtained by international comparative te ... | 1991 | 1714847 |
| distribution of substance p, gnrh, met-enkephalin in the central nervous system of the pig. | the distribution of substance p (sp), gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) and met-enkephalin in the brain and spinal cord of the domestic pig is described for the first time. the levels of sp, gnrh and met-enkephalin were measured by specific radioimmunoassays in various regions of the brain and spinal cord of the pig. substance p and met-enkephalin are widely distributed within the central nervous system of the pig. high levels of sp were found in the preoptic area (poa), suprachiasmatic area ... | 1991 | 1714337 |
| histochemical demonstration of zinc in the hippocampal region of the domestic pig: ii. subiculum and hippocampus. | the distribution of zinc has been described in two areas of the hippocampal region of the domestic pig, viz., the subiculum and the hippocampus. zinc was demonstrated histochemically according to the neo-timm method, a modification of the sulphide-silver procedure. in each of the examined areas the staining displayed a distinctly stratified pattern which has been compared in detail to fields and layers defined on the basis of cyto- and fibroarchitecture, resulting in a combined chemo- and cytoar ... | 1991 | 1709650 |
| [cytoarchitecture and topography of the ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei of swine (sus scrofa domestica)]. | the topography and cytoarchitecture of nc. hypothalamicus ventromedialis, nc. hypothalamicus dorsomedialis and nc. infundibularis were descripted in the pig. the nc. hypothalamicus ventromedialis is the dominant nucleus in the tuber cinereum. the rostral pole lies caudal to the nc. hypothalamicus anterior. its caudal pole is bounded by the nc. premamillaris and the nc. hypothalamicus ventrolateralis. scattered neurons separate the nc. hypothalamicus ventromedialis dorsal from the nc. hypothalami ... | 1990 | 1707075 |
| pronounced accumulation of metoprolol in ischemic myocardium after coronary venous retroinfusion. | the myocardial availability of the beta 1-selective blocker metoprolol was compared following standard intravenous (i.v.) administration and after coronary venous retroinfusion. thirteen open-chest farm pigs were subjected to 90-min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. in six of these pigs, metoprolol was administered as an i.v. injection while 7 pigs received the drug retrogradely into the coronary vein. the time of administration was 5 min. in both groups, metoprolol was ... | 1990 | 1688978 |
| protective property of azelastine against histamine challenge of rhinal mucosa in domestic pigs. | in anaesthetized domestic pigs a filter paper sampling technique was applied to estimate basal and histamine induced nasal secretion. histamine (0.2 mg/nostril) increased secretion more than twofold, a dose of 2 mg/nostril more than 10 fold. intranasally instilled azelastine (a-5610, cas 58581-89-8) prevented this histamine induced rhinorrhea without reduction of basal secretion. the protective effect remained for more than 2 h even when histamine challenge was repeated. | 1991 | 1686828 |
| human vntr sequences in porcine htf-islands. | mapping of complex genomes has been influenced substantially by the isolation of locus-specific, but repetitive dna elements known as vntrs. since a high gc-content is characteristic of most of these elements one might expect them to be clustered at least partially in cpg-islands. to address this question we have constructed a porcine liver dna noti-linkage library in puc18 using isolated htf-islands. hpaii tiny fragments ranging from less than 100 bp to 1 kb in length were randomly selected and ... | 1991 | 1678358 |
| species-dependent differences of high affinity [3h]paf-binding to platelets from humans and pigs and its inhibition by selected antagonists. | the sensitivity of blood platelets towards paf (1-o-alkyl-2-o-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) strongly varies with species and is primarily responsible for different pathophysiological effects after its administration to experimental animals. platelets from domestic pigs were shown to possess one single class of high-affinity paf-binding sites. receptor density and sensitivity of pig platelets towards paf were distinctly higher than those from humans. preincubation of platelets from both spe ... | 1991 | 1662546 |
| monitoring japanese encephalitis virus activity using domestic sentinel pigs in mandya district, karnataka state (india). | domestic pigs were used as sentinels in mandya district (karnataka state) in india during 1984 to 1986 to monitor the activity of japanese encephalitis (je) virus in nature. out of 213 sentinel pigs studied in 11 localities, 44 pigs placed at 5 localities showed seroconversion to japanese encephalitis virus. a pig mosquito cycle, operating throughout the year appears to be one of the maintenance mechanisms of the virus in the study area in addition to the bird-mosquito cycle. | 1991 | 1657767 |
| free-running rhythms of adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth), cortisol and melatonin in pigs. | in the domestic pig, a circadian rhythm of plasma cortisol occurs, with greatest concentrations in the morning and lowest concentrations in the afternoon. however, photic entrainment of the rhythms of acth and melatonin in pigs have not been defined clearly. this experiment was designed to evaluate free-running rhythms of acth, cortisol and melatonin in pigs housed in constant light (ll) and constant darkness (dd). twelve crossbred barrows, maintained under ambient photoperiod, were catheterized ... | 1991 | 1649029 |
| physical examination of swine. | swine may be examined to evaluate a disease state or a lowered economic performance or as a herd health consultation. as much of the examination as possible should be performed without handling the animal. a thorough history, evaluation of herd records, environmental examination, and herd examination should be performed prior to the evaluation of an individual animal. all necessary equipment should be available when starting the individual examination. the animals is then restrained and examined ... | 1992 | 1643555 |
| taxonomic revision of the genus trichinella. | the analysis of genetic, biochemical, and biological data on about 300 trichinella isolates, reported in the literature, allows a taxonomic revision of this genus. we propose the recognition of 5 sibling species, trichinella spiralis (owen, 1835) sensu stricto; trichinella nativa britov and boev, 1972; trichinella pseudospiralis garkavi, 1972; trichinella nelsoni britov and boev, 1972 sensu stricto; and trichinella britovi n. sp., on the basis of biochemical and biological characteristics. trich ... | 1992 | 1635024 |
| biological characterization of trichinella isolates from various host species and geographical regions. | forty isolates of trichinella collected from 5 continents were compared for 7 biological characters: newborn larvae produced per female worm cultured in vitro at the seventh, eighth, and ninth day postinfection, host muscle nurse cell development time, reproductive capacity index in rats and chickens, and resistance of muscle larvae to freezing. the isolates also were compared by analyses of an environmental character of the location from which they were isolated: the isotherms for january and j ... | 1992 | 1635023 |
| evaluation of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosis of trichinellosis in swine. | experimental and field trials were conducted to evaluate an elisa for its ability to detect trichinella-infected domestic swine and to compare elisa results with muscle-digestion test results. the elisa used was a commercial double-antibody kit, containing an excretory-secretory antigen, and was evaluated principally for epidemiologic use. experimentally induced infection in swine (4 groups of 3 pigs each; inoculated with 0, 50, 500 or 5,000 larvae) was detected as early as postinoculation week ... | 1992 | 1626777 |
| cloning and characterization of highly polymorphic porcine microsatellites. | a size-fractionated (200-400 bp) porcine genomic library was screened with the dinucleotide motifs (tg)n and (tc)n. the number of tg- and tc-positive clones was 83 and four, respectively, implying that the former motif is more frequent in the porcine genome, as previously reported in other species. twenty-six tg-clones were sequenced, and the number of repeats varied between 16 and 42 with different compositions of the repetitive sequences; 17 clones had a perfect stretch of tg-repeats, four had ... | 1992 | 1624765 |
| pandemic influenza: a zoonosis? | in the last two decades, influenza a viruses have been found to occur throughout the animal kingdom, mainly in birds, notably aquatic ones, in which infection is largely intestinal, waterborne, and asymptomatic. the domestic duck of southern china, raised in countless numbers all year round mainly as an adjunct to rice farming, is the principal host of influenza a viruses. studies based on hong kong h3n2 viruses from southern china suggest that pandemic strains originate from the domestic duck t ... | 1992 | 1609163 |
| occlusion of the pig superior sagittal sinus, bridging and cortical veins: multistep evolution of sinus-vein thrombosis. | cerebral sinus-vein thrombosis may lead to severe hemodynamic changes, elevated intracranial pressure (icp), and brain edema. it is supposed that progression of the thrombus from the sinus into bridging and cortical veins plays a key role in the development of these pathophysiological changes, but this hypothesis lacks experimental proof. the aim of this study, using a novel animal model of sinus-vein thrombosis, was to evaluate the effects of a standardized occlusion of the superior sagittal si ... | 1992 | 1607953 |
| helminth parasites of wild boar, sus scrofa, in iran. | fifty-seven wild boars (sus scrofa) from protected regions of iran were examined for helminths. sixteen species of helminths were collected; there were ten nematodes, one acanthocephalan, two trematodes and three larval cestodes. new host and distribution records were established for all helminths except of taenia solium cysticerci. wild boar shared nine of these helminths with domestic pigs, six with ruminants and three with human beings in iran. metastrongylus pudendotectus and m. salmi are re ... | 1992 | 1602589 |
| alanine, glutamate, and ammonia exchanges in acutely ischemic swine myocardium. | coronary artery disease causes an increase in glutamate uptake and alanine output by the heart. we assessed the effects of acute myocardial ischemia on alanine and glutamate exchange and ammonia production in 10 anesthetized open-chest domestic swine (46.9 +/- 0.7 kg). coronary blood flow was controlled through an extracorporal perfusion circuit. after a nonischemic control period (aerobic) the blood flow in the left anterior descending coronary artery was reduced by 60%. arterial and anterior i ... | 1992 | 1590740 |
| distribution of vasopressin and oxytocin cells and fibres in the hypothalamus of the domestic pig (sus scrofa). | the distribution of vasopressin and oxytocin cells and fibres was studied in the pig hypothalamus by means of monoclonal antibodies, in order to prevent the non-specific staining that is characteristic for the pig. the nucleus circularis is described for the first time in the pig hypothalamus and consists of both oxytocin and vasopressin containing cell bodies. a cell group, characteristic for the pig and horse, lateral and caudal from the vascular organ of the lamina terminalis, was found to be ... | 1992 | 1583158 |
| abnormalities in the regulation of blood platelet free cytosolic calcium in malignant hyperthermia. ii. pig platelets. | since 1966 the domestic pig has served as the animal model in malignant hyperthermia (mh) research [1]. the use of genetically well-defined pigs rendered it possible to test the method for diagnosing mh-susceptibility of patients presented in the preceding paper. thus, the effect of halothane on intracellular calcium movements was studied in quin-2- and chlorotetracycline-loaded pig platelets. in 'ca(2+)-free' suspensions the resting level of free cytosolic ca2+ was about 60 nm. in contrast to t ... | 1992 | 1576636 |
| experimental human infection with asian taenia saginata metacestodes obtained from naturally infected korean domestic pigs. | the infectivity of metacestodes of asian taenia saginata, now tentatively called taenia saginata taiwanensis, in human host was confirmed. the metacestodes used in experimental infection were collected from the livers of naturally infected domestic pigs at an abattoir in cheongju city, korea. the first gravid proglottid was spontaneously discharged 76 days after infection. two worms were recovered two years later by chemotherapy. the scolex was unarmed. the number of main uterine branches, varyi ... | 1992 | 1576110 |
| natural infections of asian taenia saginata metacestodes in the livers of korean domestic pigs. | the taenia species in east asia, hitherto identified as taenia saginata, has been recognized as differing from the classical descriptions of life cycles and was recently named taenia saginata taiwanensis (tentatively until 1992). major differences between t. saginata and the newly recognized asian t. saginata are their intermediate hosts and the infected tissues. asian t. saginata metacestodes are found in the livers of pigs rather than in the muscles of cattle. in this study, we observed the na ... | 1992 | 1576109 |
| [is feeding of green silage in areas with hog cholera in wild boar a danger for domestic swine herds? experimental study]. | in an experimental study we tested the survival of hog cholera virus (hcv) contained in pieces of muscular tissue and organs from experimentally infected swine after incubation in silage. in big (diameter greater than 20 cm) muscular pieces hcv survived even in excellent mineral acid silage (ph 3.8-4.0) after a storage of 5 months. on the other hand in smaller parts (musculature tissue, organs less than 20 cm diameter) we never found virulent hcv after 3 months of incubation. independent of the ... | 1992 | 1575668 |
| [the growth reaction of the temporomandibular cartilage to biomechanical stimuli and its significance for functional orthodontics--the results of experimental animal and biophysical research]. | adaptive changes in the condylar cartilage of the temporomandibular joint resulting from an experimentally induced lateral occlusal disturbance, were examined in ten juvenile domestic pigs. for the first time, in addition to histological methods for the objectification of changes in the matrix, biophysical methods such as 1h-nmr spectroscopy, electrical impedance spectroscopy and the measurement of mechanically induced potentials were used. changes in the water-binding behavior of the matrix of ... | 1992 | 1551629 |
| [the demonstration of cellular reactions in the temporomandibular condylar cartilage by nmr microscopy. the basic research for high-resolution nmr tomography of the temporomandibular joint]. | the regional resolution of modern imaging methods is not good enough to clinically objectify changes to the cartilage of the temporomandibular joint, for example in functional orthodontic treatment. nmr microscopic studies of an intact temporomandibular joint preparation were done experimentally in the domestic pig on the basis of 1h-nmr relaxometric measurements in specimens of condylar cartilage. we succeeded in representing the cartilage of the temporomandibular joint down to the cellular lev ... | 1992 | 1551628 |
| [a 2-year study of the incidence of campylobacteriasis in the district of liptovský mikulás]. | the authors investigated the incidence of campylobacteriosis in the population of the district during 1989-1990. during the above period by cultivation 723 cases of the disease were confirmed, i.e. the incidence in 1989 was 319, the number of cases 428, in 1990 the corresponding figures were 220 and 295. the incidence of campylobacteriosis is significantly higher than that of other investigated bacterial diseases. the authors did not find a significant difference in the incidence of campylobacte ... | 1992 | 1534519 |
| blockade of protein c activation reduces microvascular surgical blood loss. | protein c is a natural anticoagulant glycoprotein which prevents intravascular clot formation. protein c functions as an anticoagulant when converted to an active serine protease (activated protein c). activated protein c is formed at the site of the endothelial injury in response to blood clotting and helps limit the size of blood clots. we tested the hypothesis that by temporarily blocking the activation of intrinsic protein c, we could reduce subsequent surgical blood loss from a microvascula ... | 1992 | 1528031 |
| [reconstruction-plasty of iatrogenic choledochal stenoses using human pericardium. an experimental study in the domestic pig]. | the effect of human pericardial patch plastic for reconstruction of iatrogenic common bile duct stenosis was investigated in experiments performed in pigs. all patches (n = 8) were overgrown with immature biliary epithelium detectable on light and electron microscopy within 6 weeks. no restenosis nor any fistula developed during this observation period. liver function tests, especially bilirubin, were not suitable parameters for the detection of biliary obstruction (preoperative value 0.38 +/- 0 ... | 1992 | 1514292 |
| right heart function during prosthetic left ventricular assistance in a porcine model of congestive heart failure. | a left ventricular assist device was used to produce a 90% reduction in peak systolic left ventricular pressure in pigs with congestive heart failure, and the resultant effects on right ventricular function were determined. initially, eight farm pigs underwent rapid ventricular pacing at 230 beats/min for 7 days to produce congestive heart failure. when compared with an independent series of normal pigs, cardiac output in the paced animals was 33.3% less (2.2 +/- 0.2 versus 3.3 +/- 0.5 l/min; p ... | 1992 | 1513147 |
| ex vivo investigation of blood monocyte and platelet behaviour in pigs maintained on an atherogenic diet. | domestic pigs aged 4 months were fed for 16 weeks an atherogenic diet rich in cholesterol and saturated fatty acid. the increase of plasma cholesterol and triacylglycerol levels was found to be accompanied by a significant increase in the number of blood monocytes and platelets when compared to control animals. furthermore, the atherogenic diet produced a small but significant reduction in the blood monocyte phagocytic capacity and adhesion to plastic surface. no significant differences between ... | 1992 | 1504579 |
| numerical variation of nucleolar organizer regions after silver staining in domestic and wild suidae (mammalia). | selective silver staining was used to investigate the cellular distribution of numbers of nucleolar organizer regions (nors) in domestic pigs (sus scrofa) of eight different breeds, the european wild boar (s. scrofa scrofa), indonesian wild boar (s. scrofa vittatus), javan warty pig (s. verrucosus), sulawesi warty pig (s. celebensis), and pigmy hog (s. salvanius). in the domestic pig as well as in the wild (sub)species of sus, actively transcribing ribosomal rna genes were found to be present in ... | 1992 | 1503258 |
| seasonal abundance of lutzomyia shannoni (diptera: psychodidae) on ossabaw island, georgia. | population dynamics of lutzomyia shannoni were monitored from april 1986 through december 1987 on ossabaw island, ga. most (99%) of the 19,788 adult sand flies were collected in light traps supplemented with dry ice; less than or equal to 1% were aspirated from diurnal resting sites. adult sand flies first appeared in april and were followed by peaks of abundance during may 1986, and may and july 1987. numbers of adults captured fell rapidly in october and november 1986 and in september and octo ... | 1992 | 1495026 |
| bite-force development, metabolic and circulatory response to electrical stimulation in the canine and porcine masseter muscles. | the development of fatigue was investigated by electrical stimulation in 15 domestic pigs (1 yr old, 70-90 kg body weight) and seven adult dogs (3 yr old, 45 kg body weight). after anaesthesia, silver electrodes were implanted in the anterior and posterior parts of the right masseter muscles. the contralateral muscle was used as control. the bite force was measured. muscle biopsies were obtained from the anterior, central and posterior parts, and were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. a flu ... | 1992 | 1471960 |
| does a single bout of exercise cause adaptation of amino acid metabolism in pigs? | amino acid responses to exercise stress in well-trained racehorses and human athletes are well characterised, but the knowledge of amino acid metabolism during and after exercise in inactive animal species is limited. to study this, plasma amino acid concentrations were measured in previously unexercised pigs which performed two exercise tests on a treadmill with an interval of one week. in general, the changes in amino acids were more pronounced after the second than after the first exercise bo ... | 1992 | 1465506 |
| intracellular axonemes within ciliated cells in the tracheal epithelium of domestic pigs. | extended aggregates of intracellular axonemal derivatives can be seen within the apical cytoplasm of ciliated cells of apparently healthy domestic pigs. such alterations were observed in 15 out of 20 animals. complete (9 + 2) or incomplete (8 + 2 - 5 + 2) intracellular axonemes were found which sometimes arose from mature, irregularly arranged kinetosomes. in addition, bundles of single microtubules and microtubular pairs were found. in previous investigations on the ciliated epithelium of diffe ... | 1992 | 1452480 |
| acute and chronic morphine administration in swine. | functional responses to acute and chronic morphine administration in domestic swine were examined and correlated with pharmacokinetic profiles. acute effects of morphine sulfate were monitored in pigs for 24 h and the chronic actions of morphine alkaloid were monitored for 21 days. serum morphine levels, nociception, locomotor activity, respiratory rate, body temperature, and body weight were monitored during all studies. to assess nociception in a large laboratory animal, a portable thermal sti ... | 1992 | 1448475 |
| extracorporeal circulation as an alternative to open-chest cardiac compression for cardiac resuscitation. | open-chest direct cardiac compression represents a more potent but highly invasive option for cardiac resuscitation when conventional techniques of closed-chest cardiac resuscitation fail after prolonged cardiac arrest. we postulated that venoarterial extracorporeal circulation might be a more effective intervention with less trauma. in the setting of human cardiac resuscitation, however, controlled studies would be limited by strategic constraints. accordingly, the effectiveness of open-chest c ... | 1992 | 1446500 |
| the transovarial transmission of babesia trautmanni by rhipicephalus simus to domestic pigs. | rhipicephalus simus was, for the first time, experimentally proven to be a transovarial vector of babesia trautmanni of domestic pigs. the nymphal and adult progeny of experimentally infected female ticks transmitted the infection to 2 susceptible splenectomized pigs. features of the infection included a prepatent period of 6-8 days post-tick infestation, a febrile reaction for 3 days and a maximum parasitaemia score of 15 (more than 6 parasites per 300 red blood cells). other clinical signs in ... | 1992 | 1437025 |
| percutaneous obliteration of the cystic duct with a holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser: results of in vitro and animal experiments. | the purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using a holmium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser to permanently occlude the cystic duct in order to isolate the gallbladder from the biliary-enteric circulation and prevent gallstone formation. | 1992 | 1414812 |
