a comparative study on the heat stability of triosephosphate isomerase in psychrophilic, psychrotrophic, and mesophilic clostridia.the temperature stability of triosephosphate isomerase (ec 5.3.1.1) in the cell-free extracts of psychrophilic, psychrotrophic, and mesophilic clostridium species has been investigated. even though this enzyme was found to be heat labile in the psychrophilic isolates, no detectable loss in activity was evident when cell-free extracts were heated for 1/2 h at the maximum temperature of growth for the organisms. two organisms, each with a maximum growth temperature of 23 degrees c, showed differen ...1975172205
behavioral and epileptic determinants of predatory attack behavior in the cat.this report presents studies which relate limbic epileptic excitability to behavioral measures of defensive suppression of predatory attack in cats. correlated with heightened defensiveness to environmental stimuli among non-killer cats is a heightened amygdaloid epileptic excitability, as well as a heightened conduction of amygdaloid epileptic activity to thalamic and hypothalamic substrates of predatory response in the amygdala to the complex visual stimuli presented by rat prey. these neurose ...1975172209
[identification of camp dependant protein kinases in human lymphocytes].chromatographic purification by "deae" cellulose resolves the camp binding proteins in human lymphocytes into three parts. in presence of mg++ each one possesses camp dependent protein-kinase activity, one of them showing allosteric characteristics.1975172248
[demonstration of antigen-antibody complex of tsv5c12 cell membranes by means of guinea pig fluorescent anti-complement antibodies].the application of rabbit anti-guinea pig complement fluorescent antibody to sv40 transformed cells demonstrated the presence of immune complexes on the cell membrane surface. the presence of such complexes was not detectable by using fluorescent rabbit anti-hamster immunoglobulins antisera.1975172249
[resistance to association of antibiotics (polymyxin and penicillin) in relation to cell concentration of two bacterial species in the same inoculum. complementary inoculum effect].dense suspensions of sa. typhi (polys penr) and of st. aureus (polyr pens) proliferate on gelose medium added with the two antibiotics only if the inoculum is mixed. the growth is probably due to the partial neutralization of the antibiotics following the formation of complexes between these antibiotics and some constituents of the two strains.1975172250

the estrogen cytosol receptor of female ovine pituitary.the biochemical parameters of estrone and estradiol binding to the cytosol fraction of ovine anterior pituitary were investigated. when increasing amounts of [3h]estrone or [3h]estradiol were incubated with the 105,000 g fraction from the pituitary, both hormones bound to a receptor with the same apparent kd (mean +/- s.e., estrone = 1.40 +/- 0.30 x 10(-10) m, estradiol = 1.03 +/- 0.11 x 10(-10)m) and the same concentration of binding sites (estrone = 3.22 +/- 0.58 x 10(-14) moles/mg protein, es ...1975172395
multiple regulatory events in the development of competence for genetic transformation in haemophilus influenzae.cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate derepresses enzyme synthesis but does not yield high levels of transformability or detectable levels of competence-related envelope polypeptides. additional regulatory events must trigger complete expression of competence.1975172489
distribution of membrane-bound cyclic amp-dependent protein kinase in plasma membranes of cells of the kidney cortex.renal cortical plasms membranes were separated by free flow electrophoresis into luminal (brush border microvilli) and contraluminal (basal-lateral membrane) fractions. these membranes were found to contain an intrinsic, self-phosphorylating system which consists of a cyclic amp-dependent protein kinase, a phosphorprotein phosphatase and the substrate(s) of these enzymes. the kinase, but not the phosphatase, was stimulated by cyclic amp; maximal (1.7-fold) stimulation was effected at a cyclic am ...1975172638
intermediate complex of atp hydrolysis and synthesis by muscle proteins.myosin catalyzed exchange between 32pi and atp in reaction medium during its enzymatic hydrolysis of atp only by a very small amount. addition of actin increased to a great extent the rate of incorporation of 32pi in the presence of mg. glycerinated smooth muscle fibers also exhibited the ability to exchange 32pi and atp upon the application of external force (repeated stretching and releasing). a schematic mechanism of the action of actin and external force on acceleration of 32pi incorporation ...1975172738
inhibition of hepatic lipogenesis by adenine nucleotides.incubation of liver slices and isolated liver cells with adenosine cyclic-3',5'-monophosphate at concentrations which inhibit lipogenesis was found to expand the pool size of the noncyclic adenine nucleotides in the intact cells of the preparations. this observation led to studies which demonstrated that adenosine and adenosine-5'-monophosphate also inhibited lipogenesis and expanded the adenine nucleotide pool size. it is proposed but not proven that the increase in intracellular nucleotides pr ...1975172757
a directed alteration of ribonuclease specificity. hydrolysis of polyribonucleotides containing modified cytosine bases.the action of ribonucleases on poly and oligoribonucleotides containing cytosine bases modified by methoxyamine and bisulphite was examined. resistance of phosphodiester bonds in (cp)nxp (where n greater than or equal to 1 and x stands for a, g or u) to t2 rnase hydrolysis was observed if substrates were modified chemically. the phenomenon formed the basis for isolation of (cp)nxp blocks as an additional tool in sequence investigations. after modification of cytosine pancreatic rnase was unable ...1975172781

intraalveolar foam cells associated with lipidosis-like alterations in lung and liver of rats treated with tricyclic psychotropic drugs.histological, histochemical, and ultrastructural examinations were performed on pulmonary and hepatic tissues of rats after prolonged oral treatment with several tricyclic antidepressants and two neuroleptics, which are all of amphiphilic character. the antidepressants ipindole, imipramine, clomipramine, 1-chloro-amitriptyline, and 1-chloro-10,11-dehydro-amitriptyline were found to cause an accumulation of intraalveolar foam cells accompanied by the formation of abnormal lamellated and crystallo ...1975174284
electron spin resonance spectra of chicken hepatoma and liver tissue.when studied by electron spin resonance (esr) (swartz et al., 1972), tumorous tissues differ from their normal equivalents in the following aspects: 1. in tumourous tissues the signal measured in the vicinity of the g=2 region of the spectrum is of a smaller amplitude or completely absent (commoner et al., 1954; commoner, ternberg, 1961; mallard, kent, 1964; dodd, 1973). 2. signals attributed to certain paramagnetic metal ions are also decreased (nebert and mason, 1963; swartz et al., 1973). new ...1975174376
a comparative appraisal of emphysematous cholecystitis.there is ample evidence from this retrospective comparison to indicate that emphysematous cholecystitis does merit clinical distinction apart from acute cholecystitis. it is an acute infection of the gallbladder caused by a specific group of bacteria that may be aided by some aspect of local ischemia. cholelithiasis does not seem to be a major factor in the pathogenesis of emphysematous cholecystitis, and this, in association with some dependence upon ischemia, may account for the predominance o ...1975174453
electron spin resonance study of changes during the development of a mouse myeloid leukaemia. ii. the ascorbyl radical.the ascorbyl radical concentration has been observed, by means of electron spin resonance spectroscopy, in the blood, spleen and liver of rf/j female mice throughout the development of a myeloid leukaemia. changes in the concentration of the radical were detectable from an early stage in the disease and did not appear to be directly due to the leukaemic cells but could possibly be due to a reaction against them. changes in the concentration of the paramagnetic metal ions during the leukaemia hav ...1975174704
[role of phospholipids in the generation of membrane potentials by proteoliposomes].closed protein-phospholipid particles (proteoliposomes), obtained by self-assembly method, are capable to generate and to maintain the membrane potential in the case if their protein complex is represented by: a) a complex of mitochondrial atpase; b) a complex of cytochrome oxidase and cytochrome c and c) bacteriorhodopsin from halobacterium halobium; and their phospholipid component is represented by phosphatidylethanolamine or by a mixture of mitochondrial phospholipids. only cytochromoxidase ...1975174754
[inositol-containing phospholipids in rat brain and liver].a simple modification of the method of rossiter and palmer for the quantitative determination of phosphoinositides (pi) in animal tissues (brain and liver) is worked out: phospholipids are mineralyzed (together with a paper) in 57% perchloric acid, avoiding the time consuming procedure of the tenfold elution of inositids spots from chromatogramms and the subsequent evaporation of the substantial volume of the eluate obtained. the time of the analysis is twice as short as that of the original met ...1975174755
[immunologic results obtained with an experimental system oftransplantable colonic tumors. possible applications of these results to human intestinal tumors].intestinal cancers, morphologically very close to human colo-rectal adeno-carcinoma, have been induced by dimethylhydrazine in inbred rats. graftable lines have been obtained from 5 primary intestinal tumors, and 3 cell lines have been cultivated from the grafts. this model was used to demonstrate carcinofetal antigen(s) on the surface of the intestinal cancer cells. circulating antibodies against tumor-associated antigen(s) have been found in tumor-bearing rats. cancer enhancement was regularly ...1975174767

an adrenergic mechanism for visual neuroregulation.studies of the diffuse electroretinogram (erg) and evoked reponses in the optic lobe in the baby chick have shown that epinephrine produces changes in both. epinephrine produces enhancement of the a-wave and depression of the b- and d-waves in both intact and isolated eyes. in the optic lobe it produces enhancement of both components of the evoked response. the presence of epinephrine in the vertebrate retina and the optic lobe of chicks suggests that these changes may reflect the involvement of ...1975178882
role of sodium and potassium in aldosterone binding of kidney receptors in the rat.an increase of the sodium concentration produced a diminished binding of labeled aldosterone to kidney receptors in both in vivo and in vitro conditions. the elevation of potassium level did not change the binding capacity of kidney nuclear receptors for aldosterone. hypernatraemia-induced decrease of aldosterone uptake was significant in the nuclear fraction of both medullary and cortical region of the kidney but did not show remarkable changes in the uptake of cytosol fraction. the transfer of ...1975179799
steroid production by quartered and capsular rat adrenal gland in response to haemorrhage.60 min after rapid bleeding (1.5--2.0 per cent of b. w.) both aldosterone and corticosterone production rate by quartered rat adrenals were found to be elevated. however, no difference was observed in the rate of aldosterone and corticosterone production by capsular adrenals of sham operated and hypovolaemic rats. corticosterone production rate by decapsulated adrenals was much more higher after haemorrhage than in the control group. the same alterations could be observed incubating adrenal tiss ...1975179800

the role of p-hydroxylation of amphetamine in its peripheral mode of action.desipramine completely abolished the blood pressure response to (+) amphetamine in the rat, whereas the tricyclic antidepressant iprindole did not reduce this response. since both tricyclic drugs inhibit the aromatic hydroxylation of amphetamine, these studies do not support the hypothesis that hydroxylated metabolites of amphetamine, p-hydroxyamphetamine and p-hydroxynorephedrine are essential for the peripheral sympathomimetic effects of amphetamine.1975235613
structural studies of staphylococcal protease. i. spin labelling of the active site and a comparison with other proteases.staphylococcus aureus protease has been spin-labelled at the active-site serine residue with the monocyclic-phosphorus spin label (msl), 1-oxyl-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-peperi-dinylethylphosphorofluoridate. the electron paramagnetic resonance (e.p.r.) sbectra of the protease in different buffers at various ph's have been analyzed and compared with those of trypsin, subtilisin bpn', and alpha-chymotrypsin under identical conditions. in a given buffer, the shape of e.p.r. signals of spin-labelled sta ...1975236078

cephalothin and cephaloridine therapy for bacterial meningitis.the efficacy of cephalothin and cephaloridine in the treatment of bacterial meningitis was evaluated from a review of 106 cases reported in the literature. fifty-nine percent of 34 patients treated with intravenous cephalothin responded suboptimally; those receiving daily doses of 12 g or more fared significantly better (p less than 0.025). in contrast, 74% of 72 patients treated with cephaloridine responded favorably; those who received concomitant intrathecal cephaloridine responded significan ...1975237448
antibacterial precipitins and autoantibodies in serum of patients with cystic fibrosis.sera from 84 patients with cystic fibrosis, 31 patients with other respiratory diseases and 21 control persons have been investigated for the occurrence of antibacterial precipitins and autoantibodies. preciptins were studied by means of crossed immunoelectrophoresis, antinuclear factors by an indirect immunofluorescence technique and rheumatoid factors by the latex fixation slide test. a very heterogeneous antibacterial immune response was found in patients with cystic fibrosis, notably as rega ...1975238280
a new parenteral cephalosporin. sk&f 59962: in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity and serum levels in experimental animals.sk&f 59962, a new parenteral cephalosporin was found to have a high order of in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activity against a broad-spectrum of clinical isolates. when tested in vitro against gram-negative organisms, sk&f 59962 was consistently more active than cefazolin and far superior to cephalothin. this new antibiotic had activity equal to that of cephalothin against gram-positive bacteria. enterobacter species were found to be susceptible to sk&f 59962. in mouse infection studies usin ...1975238925
cross-reactive antigens and immunity to diseases caused by encapsulated bacteria.antigenic structures may be shared among naturally occurring polymers, including proteins and polysaccharides. proteins are polymers of amino acids. cross-reactions between proteins are due to similarities in their overall shape rather than their individual amino acid components. cross-reactions have been demonstrated among proteins with similar evolutionary development and structure, such as serum albumins or immunoglobulins. polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides. in contrast to prote ...1975239050

[clinical effects of lividomycin on respiratory tract infections, primarily wet cases of bronchiectasis (author's transl)].patients with various respiratory infections, primarily wet cases of bronchiectasis, were treated with lividomycin (lvdm) at a dose of 1 g/day for about a week. the results obtained are as follows: 1. of the 15 patients with refractory bronchiectasis who had previously been treated with various other antibiotics, 11 patients (73.3%) responded to lvdm. although there was no patient who responded to lvdm excellently, good cures were achieved in 5 pateints and fair cures in 6 patients. 2. in bronc ...1975239263
evaluation of bacteriological transport systems.seven commercially manufactured bacteriological transport systems, including culturette, trans-cul (with stuart and amies), handiswab, securline (with amies and amies without charcoal) and culture caddy, were evaluated to determine whether these systems were capable of maintaining the viability and constant numbers of mixtures of hardy, fastidious and anaerobic organisms over 72 hours at 25c and 4c. the results of the study indicated that if specimens are maintained in transport systems at 25c t ...1975239597
studies on deoxyribonucleases from haemophilus influenzae on dna agarose affinity chromatography. two-step purification of atp-dependent deoxyribonuclease.in a first part of this report, purification and characterization of several nucleased from lysates of haemophilus influenzae are described. the enzymes bind to dna with agarose columns and are removed by elution with phosphate buffer. among the considered enzymes, the exonucleases 1 and 3, and endonuclease, a dna polymerase and a restriction enzyme were recovered mixed by raising the phosphate concentration from 0.1 to 0.3 m, while the atp-dependent dnaase recovered well purified, by raising th ...1975239741
activity of doxycycline against respiratory pathogens.149 patients were admitted from the brussels area to the multi-centre pan european trial of doxycycline in respiratory tract infections. of these, 40 satisfied the strict criteria for detailed bacteriological study with positive culture of a known pathogen before treatment and bacteriological follow-up after treatment. the pathogens were beta-haemolytic streptococcus, group a (29 cases), pneumococcus (6 cases) and haemophilus influenzae (6 cases); in one case, the pneumococcus and h. influenzae ...1975239836
doxycycline in respiratory tract infections. a review of a multi-centre trial.a total of 256 patients were admitted in germany into a pan-european multi centre trial of doxycycline in the treatment of infections of the respiratory tract. the diagnoses showed a preponderance of lower respiratory tract infections compared with other european countries, due largely to the fact that the participating physicians were pulmonary or internal medicine specialists. doxycycline was given in a dose of 200 mg initially followed by 100 mg daily for 5-10 days (only the occasional patien ...1975239837
uterine secretion during the sexual cycle in the rat and its capacity to disperse corona cells in vitro.it was found that closure of the uterus disturbed the first 2 cycles after the operation; thereafter the normal cycle was resumed. the quantity of uterine fluid was increased at pro-oestrus and oestrus and reduced at met-oestrus and di-oestrus. slight inverse changes in viscosity were observed. there was no significant difference in the ph. the corona-cell dispersing factor seems to be an oestrogen-dependent constituent of uterine secretion.1975239858
comparative inhibitory activity of bl-s640 and two other cephalosporins.in vitro antibacterial activity of bl-s640 was compared to that of cephalothin and cephalexin against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria isolated from clinical specimens. bl-s640 demonstrated the best activity on nearly all microbial species studied, except for haemophilus influenzae and diplococcus pneumoniae against which cephalothin was slightly more active.1975239917
[chemotherapy of purulent meningitis in children (author's transl)].purulent meningitis in patients admitted to the pediatric department of kyoto university hospital and affiliated institutions from 1951 through 1973 were studied with emphasis on the kinds of the causative organisms and the susceptibility of these organisms to antibiotics. the findings in this study have served to help select antibiotics most likely to be effective against this disease. the overall incidence of purulent meningitis was 0.68%. this figure decreased little throughout the period. as ...1975240048
