| repeated pulmonary function evaluation following bleomycin treatment. | a computerized, nonsurgical, pulmonary function measurement method was tested for sensitivity and utility in detecting the development of fibrosis. bleomycin, a fibrogenic agent, was intratracheally instilled into male fisher 344 rats. respiratory function was monitored in restrained, awake animals before treatment and for the subsequent 4 wk. in the first week, among responders, a significant (p less than 0.05) drop in body weight, tidal volume, and compliance was accompanied by a significant i ... | 1983 | 6188851 |
| cytokeratin and nonhistone protein antigenic changes in rat liver during azo dye but not hepatotoxin feeding. | chromosomal proteins from rat liver have been assessed immunologically for changes in specific cytokeratins or primary tumor nonhistone proteins during treatment with an azo dye hepatocarcinogen (3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene), (3'-me-dab) or the hepatotoxin alpha-naphthyl-iso-thiocyanate (alpha-nit). fisher rats were fed laboratory diets supplemented with either agent and sacrificed sequentially at various intervals. chromosomal proteins from these livers were electrophoresed in the prese ... | 1983 | 6190586 |
| characterization of tumor-specific transplantation antigen induced in cells infected or transformed by polyomavirus. | tumor-specific transplantation antigen (tsta) activity was investigated (with the use of inbred balb/c and c3h mice and inbred fisher and wistar rats) in various early polyomavirus (py)-coded proteins by three methodologies: 1) immunoprecipitation by anti-t-antigen sera, gel slicing, and immunization; 2) affinity chromatography with the use of anti-tumor-associated antigen serum; and 3) use of a py mutant, ng18. the results obtained by all three techniques allowed refutation of the hypothesis th ... | 1983 | 6296521 |
| similar transforming growth factors (tgfs) produced by cells transformed by different isolates of feline sarcoma virus. | fisher rat embryo cells transformed by each of three independent isolates of feline sarcoma virus (fesv) are shown to release transforming growth factors (tgfs) into cell culture medium. these acid- and heat-stable peptides compete for binding to, and stimulate phosphorylation of, egf membrane receptors and promote anchorage-independent cell growth. cells transformed by the gardner and synder-theilen strains of fesv produce high titers of tgf (60-200 ng eq egf/liter) while cells transformed by m ... | 1983 | 6297155 |
| urinary cyclic amp and cyclic gmp in rats given three different concentrations of cadmium in the diet for one year. | male and female weanling rats of the spf fisher strain were fed purified diets containing three different levels of cadmium (0.008, 0.3, 30 micrograms cd/g feed). urine was collected from each animal 1 year after the start of the experiment, and cyclic amp and cyclic amp in the urine were measured by radioimmunoassay. urinary excretion of cyclic amp and gmp changed in proportion to the intake of cd. the ratio of cyclic amp: cyclic gmp, which combined the changes of these two cyclic nucleotides, ... | 1983 | 6301107 |
| isolation of v-fms and its human cellular homolog. | the integrated form of mcdonough fesv proviral dna, including cellular flanking sequences, was molecularly cloned from nonproductively transformed fisher rat cells. acquired cellular-derived (v-fms) sequences within the cloned proviral dna were mapped from between 2.6 and 5.5 kb from the 5'ltr. upon transfection, the cloned proviral dna was biologically active; it caused induction of the transformed phenotype and the resulting transformed cells expressed the major mcdonough fesv translational pr ... | 1983 | 6302985 |
| comparative studies of the expression of linked escherichia coli gpt gene and bpv-1 dnas in transfected cells. | a series of hybrid plasmids, containing two selective markers that can be expressed in mammalian cells have been constructed. these plasmids are derived from the psv2gpt recombinant plasmid described by mulligan and berg (1980) and contain the entire bpv-1 dna, or the hindiii-bamhi large transforming fragment (t69) or the early transforming region of polyoma virus dna. dna transfers into fisher rat 3t3 cells were performed either by the calcium phosphate coprecipitation technique, or by protopla ... | 1983 | 6306916 |
| transforming growth factors produced by retrovirus-transformed rodent fibroblasts and human melanoma cells: amino acid sequence homology with epidermal growth factor. | transforming growth factors (tgfs) were purified from serum-free medium conditioned by retrovirus-transformed fisher rat embryo fibroblasts, mouse 3t3 cells, and two human melanoma cell lines. the purification of each tgf was monitored in a radioreceptor assay based on receptor crossreactivity with mouse submaxillary gland epidermal growth factor (megf) and was achieved by gel permeation chromatography of the acid-soluble tgf-containing activity, followed by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid ch ... | 1983 | 6308641 |
| an analysis of transformed clones obtained by coinfections with hr-t and ts-a mutants of polyoma virus. | clones of stably transformed rat cells from the f-111 (fisher rat embryo) and nrk (normal rat kidney) cell lines have been obtained by complementation using pairs of nontransforming polyoma mutants of the hr-t and ts-a classes. a total of 78 clones were isolated and studied, 21 from the nrk line, and 57 from the f-111 line. these "complementation transformed clones" were then examined for the presence and expression of each of the parental mutant viruses. the expression of viral t (tumor) antige ... | 1983 | 6314651 |
| toxicology and ntp carcinogenesis studies of a polybrominated biphenyl mixture (firemaster ff-1) in f344/n rats and b6c3f1 mice (gavage studies). | firemaster ff-1, a flame retardant composed of polybrominated biphenyls (pbb), was responsible for widespread environmental contamination and animal losses in michigan starting in 1973. this study was undertaken to characterize the long-term toxic and carcinogenic potential of this pbb mixture in rats and mice of each sex. fisher 344/n rats and b6c3f1 mice were given 125 oral doses of pbb over a 6-month period--0, 0.1, 0.3, 1.0, 3.0, or 10.0 mg/kg body weight/day (5 days/week). a dose-related de ... | 1983 | 12750749 |
| ntp carcinogenesis bioassay of diallyl phthalate (cas no. 131-17-9) in b6c3f1 mice (gavage study). | diallyl phthalate is a widely used crosslinking agent for unsaturated polyesters. diallyl phthalate or diallyl phthalate polyester blends are used primarily as plasticizers and carriers for adding catalysts and pigments to polyesters and in molding, electrical parts, laminating compounds, and impregnation of metal castings. rubber compounds, epoxy formulations, and polyurethane foams may also contain diallyl phthalate. annual production of diallyl phthalate in the united states exceeds 5,000 pou ... | 1983 | 12750751 |
| genetics of four plasma protein loci in equus przewalskii: new alleles at the prealbumin, postalbumin and transferrin loci. | this paper reports genetic variation at the prealbumin (pr), postalbumin (pa) and transferrin (tf) loci in equus przewalskii found using thin layer isoelectric focusing and an amphoteric separator. the method resolves all three loci plus serum esterase (es) on a single gel, and typing of all four loci is readily achieved. in addition to the esterase alleles previously reported by fisher & scott (1979), five alleles were found at the pr locus, three at the pa locus and six at the tf locus. analys ... | 1983 | 6614596 |
| an estimate of capillary anisotropy and determination of surface and volume densities of capillaries in skeletal muscles of the conger eel (conger conger l.). | fast and slow muscle fibres were isolated from the axial muscles of conger eel (conger conger l.) and examined by electron microscopy. volume densities of mitochondria, vv (mit, f); intracellular lipid stores, vv (lip, f); and myofibrils, vv (mf, f) were respectively 0.23, 0.18, 0.47 for slow and 0.03, 0.002, 0.79 for fast fibres. factors affecting the representative sampling of capillary supply were investigated using semi-thin (0.5 micron) sections. an estimate of the degree of capillary aniso ... | 1983 | 6647737 |
| brainstem encephalitis or the miller fisher syndrome--a variant of acute idiopathic polyneuropathy. case reports. | a syndrome comprising ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia was described by miller fisher in 1956. while some consider it to be a benign variety of acute idiopathic (guillain-barré) polyneuropathy, there are reports of the need for ventilatory support and of the benefits of plasmapheresis. two further cases are described. the first patient was seen in 1972 and was well 10 years later. the second patient gave cause for concern and might have benefitted from plasmapheresis, but nevertheless he re ... | 1983 | 6648744 |

| chromosome investigations of workers exposed to cadmium in the manufacturing of cadmium stabilizers and pigments. | chromosome analyses were undertaken on 14 workers exposed to cadmium and the results were compared with a corresponding control group. all probands have been employed for many years in cadmium pigment and stabilizer production plants (between 6 and 25 years). the results of the clinical investigations were, for the most part, unspecific, although at the same time some parameters were above the normal (transaminase, beta 2-microglobulin deposit in the urine, as well as cadmium in the blood and ur ... | 1983 | 6851916 |
| fisher discriminant analysis and factor analysis. | we show that information on the inherent structure of multidimensional data derived from a factor analysis procedure is equivalent to information obtained by fisher discriminant analysis techniques, provided certain conditions, usually required in the factor analysis model, are satisfied. the results advocate the use of a factor analysis approach when fisher discriminant analysis is not applicable, such as, for instance, in clustering problems. | 1983 | 21869091 |
| supravaginal uterine amputation vs. hysterectomy. effects on libido and orgasm. | postoperative symptoms of hysterectomy have received relatively little attention. in the present study, the first author has personally interviewed and examined 105 abdominal hysterectomy patients and 107 patients with supravaginal uterine amputation preoperatively and 6 weeks, 6 months and 12 months postoperatively. participation in the follow-up study was 99.5% (211/212) at one year. this paper deals with the effects of the two operations on libido and the frequency of orgasms. in the statisti ... | 1983 | 6868963 |
| supravaginal uterine amputation vs. hysterectomy. effects on coital frequency and dyspareunia. | the author has personally interviewed and examined 105 abdominal hysterectomy patients and 107 supravaginal amputation patients, first preoperatively and then 6 weeks, 6 months and one year postoperatively. at 12 months the follow-up percentage was 99.5 (211/212). this report concentrates on coital frequency and dyspareunia. in the statistical analysis, mcnewar's test of symmetry and the fisher exact test were used. with respect to coital frequency, no statistically significant changes occurred ... | 1983 | 6868962 |
| [paralytic and non-paralytic pontine exotropia]. | paralytic pontine exotropia is a form of the one-and-a half syndrome of fisher, in which an acute lesion of the paramedian pontine reticular formation (pprf) is present. we compared such a case with a case of pontine exotropia without lateral gaze palsy, but in which the alteration of the ipsilateral saccades suggested a partial lesion of the pprf. we suggest to call this oculomotor disturbance "non paralytic pontine exotropia". | 1983 | 6612137 |

| class i antibody induction by rat endothelium. | supradiaphragmatic vein grafts were transplanted from aci (rt1a) to fisher (rt1(1)) rats to determine whether the endothelium and/or circulating passenger leukocytes were necessary for the induction of an antibody response. vein grafts from immunosuppressed and irradiated donors induced lymphocytotoxic and hemagglutinating antibody in recipient rats. in addition, igg antibody produced in fisher recipients was found by indirect immunofluorescence to donor endothelium. when the endothelium was rem ... | 1984 | 6323854 |
| evaluation of the toxic effects of aflatoxin b1 with a taste aversion paradigm in rats. | a taste aversion test was used to evaluate the toxic effects of aflatoxin (af) b1 which is considered to be one of the most potent hepatocarcinogens known. sixty male fisher rats were randomly assigned to six treatment (injection) groups: water (h2o); dimethyl sulphoxide (dmso); lithium chloride (licl); 0.125 mg/kg afb1 (af-low); 0.250 mg/kg afb1 (af-medium) and 0.500 mg/kg afb1 (af-high). after adaption to a water-deprivation schedule which permitted 10-min access to water each day, the rats we ... | 1984 | 6325970 |
| cell lines derived from tumors induced in syngeneic rats by fr 3t3 sv40 transformants no longer synthesize the early viral proteins. | several sv40-transformed fr 3t3 rat cell lines formed tumors upon inoculation to syngeneic immunocompetent fisher rats. these tumors, which appeared only after a long latency period, showed a fast rate of growth. tumor-derived (td) cell lines were established in culture from several tumors induced by independent transformants, and their properties were analyzed. though td cells were highly tumorigenic, their level of transformation in culture was similar to that of the original transformants. th ... | 1984 | 6328754 |
| the influence of pituitary hormones on adjuvant arthritis. | adjuvant arthritis was induced in female fisher rats by injecting their right hind paw with 0.1 ml freund's complete adjuvant. the development of adjuvant arthritis was inhibited by hypophysectomy and by daily treatment of intact animals with the dopaminergic agent bromocriptine. adjuvant arthritis developed normally if hypophysectomized or bromocriptine-suppressed animals were treated with either prolactin or growth hormone. additional treatment with adrenocorticotropic hormone inhibited this r ... | 1984 | 6329236 |
| the effects of prolactin on rat ovarian function. | hyperprolactinemia has been associated with several reproductive disorders. to investigate whether hyperprolactinemia directly affects rat ovarian function, we examined the ovarian histopathology and the activities of the four ovarian enzymes 3 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3 beta-hsd), 17-hydroxylase (17-oh), 17,20-desmolase (17,20-d) and aromatase in hyperprolactinemic rats and controls. hypophysectomized, gonadotropin-treated fisher rats were made hyperprolactinemic by isografting pituit ... | 1984 | 6335928 |
| abnormal phagolysosome fusion in pulmonary alveolar macrophages of rats exposed chronically to cigarette smoke. | cigarette smoking is strongly associated with functional and morphologic changes in pulmonary alveolar macrophages (pam). phagocytic activity is a primary function of pam, and although the ingestion of particles appears to be normal in the pam of cigarette smokers, published data suggest that antimicrobial activity of these cells might be diminished. because phagolysosome fusion (plf) is an important aspect of the phagocytic process subsequent to the ingestion phase, plf was evaluated in pam lav ... | 1984 | 6206755 |
| effects of cimetidine and ranitidine on halothane metabolism and hepatotoxicity in an animal model. | this study was undertaken to determine the effects of two h2-receptor antagonists, cimetidine and ranitidine, on halothane metabolism and hepatotoxicity in the hypoxic fisher 344 rat model for halothane hepatitis. in this model, liver injury is caused by toxic intermediates formed during metabolism of halothane by a reductive pathway. administration of cimetidine (120 mg/kg ip) 20 min prior to anesthesia led to inhibition of the reductive pathway, as assessed by measurement of the exhaled metabo ... | 1984 | 6141900 |
| age-dependent alterations in synaptic membrane systems for ca2+ regulation. | the effects of aging on two neuronal plasma membrane ca2+ regulating systems have been examined using synaptic membranes isolated from the brains of adult (5-7-month-old) and aged (23-25-month-old) fisher 344 rats. the kinetic characteristics of the na+-dependent ca2+ transport system were found to be altered in the aged animals. the affinity of the transport carrier for ca2+ was decreased in membranes from aged animals, with very little change in the maximal transport capacity of the system. th ... | 1984 | 6144821 |
| effect of acetaminophen toxicity on erythrocyte osmotic fragility in the fisher rat. | the protective effect of propylthiouracil (ptu) pretreatment against acetaminophen-induced erythrocyte osmotic fragility was determined in the male fisher rat. hepatotoxicity was assessed for comparative purposes. ptu (0.15%) was fed in chow for a period of 12 days. acetaminophen (1 g/kg body wt) was then administered orally by a stomach tube after an overnight fast. the rats were killed either 4 or 24 hr later. erythrocyte osmotic fragility was determined by the extent of hemolysis in various c ... | 1984 | 6149873 |
| selective lymphoid irradiation and cyclosporin a in rat heart allografts. | short-term peritransplant treatment utilizing 2-dose alg and 1-dose palladium-109-hematoporphyrin (pd-h) for selective lymphoid irradiation (sli) leads to donor-specific permanent acceptance of heart allografts in the fisher to lewis rat model. the same treatment significantly prolongs survival of hearts transplanted to strongly histoincompatable , presensitized, and xenogeneic recipients. the purpose of this study was to evaluate synergistic effects of short-term, low-dose cyclosporin treatment ... | 1984 | 6374286 |
| the effect of perioperative adriamycin on skin-graft take and adherence in the rat. | this two-part study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of perioperative adriamycin on skin-graft take and adherence in an animal model. thirty-four male fisher rats were divided into control and experimental groups. the controls received intravenous saline, and the experimental animals received adriamycin 6 mg/kg (ld 10) 24 hours preoperatively. each animal was then grafted with an autogenous split-thickness skin graft on a contiguous dermal and fascial bed. skin-graft take was judged and mea ... | 1984 | 6382370 |
| chronic inhalation of diesel exhaust and coal dust: effect of age and exposure on selected enzyme activities associated with microsomal cytochrome p-450 in rat lung and liver. | male fisher-344 rats were exposed by inhalation to low levels of diesel exhaust and coal dust, alone or in combination, or to filtered air, 7 h/d, 5 d/wk for 24 mo. cytochrome p-450-associated benzo[a]pyrene hydroxylase and 7-ethoxycoumarin deethylase activities were assayed in lung and liver microsomes after 3, 6, and 24 mo. age-related changes in enzyme activities were observed, but they were not altered by the exposures. when the data were adjusted for age, only one difference was observed. l ... | 1984 | 6084065 |
| simian virus 40 illegitimate recombination occurs near short direct repeats. | we have analysed nucleotide sequences at the junction between simian virus 40 (sv40) and cellular dna in the fisher rat transformed line tsa30-n2. this line contains a single insertion of one complete sv40 genome with a terminal duplication of 267 nucleotides, the recombination sites being located at nucleotides 439 and 705 in the late region of sv40. these two positions are located within short direct repeats in the virus genome. in order to test the significance of such repeats with respect to ... | 1984 | 6086940 |
| a single rat fibronectin gene generates three different mrnas by alternative splicing of a complex exon. | three fibronectin mrnas exist in rat liver, differing by the presence or absence of segments of 285 or 360 bases at a point within the coding region. we previously proposed that the three mrnas are encoded by a single gene and arise via alternative splicing of a common transcript. in order to test this hypothesis, we have isolated clones spanning approximately half of the fibronectin gene from a fisher rat genomic library; blot hybridization analyses reveal the presence of only one fibronectin g ... | 1984 | 6089177 |
| enhanced ouabain sensitivity of the heart and myocardial sodium pump in aged rats. | tolerance to arrhythmogenic actions of digitalis decreases with advanced age. to determine if aged myocardium has reduced glycoside tolerance, ouabain sensitivity and associated biochemical changes were examined in young (3-month), adult (8-month) and aged (26-month old) fisher 344 rats, because age-related changes in physiology and biochemistry are well characterized in this strain of rats. although rats are uniquely tolerant to digitalis, basic mechanisms leading to inotropic and toxic actions ... | 1984 | 6092116 |
| less than 40% of the simian virus 40 large t-antigen-coding sequence is required for transformation. | f8dl is a simian virus 40 early-region deletion mutant that lacks the simian virus 40 dna sequences between 0.168 and 0.424 map units. despite this large deletion, cloned f8dl dna transforms fisher rat f111 cells and balb/3t3 clone a31 mouse cells as efficiently as does cloned simian virus 40 wild-type dna. these results indicate that less than 40% of the large t-antigen-coding sequence is required for efficient transformation. | 1984 | 6092929 |
| site of synthesis of the alpha and beta subunits of the na,k-atpase in brine shrimp nauplii. | developing nauplii (embryos) of the brine shrimp artemia salina are an excellent model system for studying the biogenesis of the sodium- and potassium-activated adenosine triphosphatase (na,k-atpase). the nauplii exhibit a burst of na,k-atpase synthesis between 6 and 32 h of development (peterson, g. l., churchill, l., fisher, j. a., and hokin, l. e. (1982) j. exp. zool. 221, 295-308). we have now determined the sites of synthesis of the alpha and beta subunits of the na,k-atpase in developing a ... | 1984 | 6094544 |
| characterization of the cholinergic stimulation of phosphoinositide hydrolysis in rat brain slices. | the stimulation of the formation of inositol phosphates by various cholinergic agonists and antagonists was studied in rat brain cortical slices. incubation of the slices with [3h]inositol led to the incorporation of radioactivity into inositol lipids. the accumulation of inositol phosphates was then followed in the presence of 8 mm lithium which blocks the hydrolysis of inositol phosphate. the release of inositol phosphate was linear up to 15 min when stimulated by 1 mm carbachol. acetylcholine ... | 1984 | 6094748 |

| rescue of silent integrated polyoma genomes suggests homologous recombination between resident and transfected dna fragments. | two defective polyoma virus genomes, deleted in the nucleotide sequences coding the n-termini of the tumor antigens, were introduced into fisher 3t3 rat cells by dna-mediated gene transfer (transfection). the resulting integrated genomes were incapable of conferring a transformed phenotype to the cells. however, after transfection of these lines with small polyoma fragments overlapping the deleted sequences, transformed clones were isolated. these clones were analyzed by southern genomic blot hy ... | 1984 | 6100071 |
| isolation of a g0-specific ts mutant from a fischer rat cell line, 3y1. | a ts mutant clone, tsjt60, was isolated from fisher rat cell line, 3y1. during the exponential growth at both 34 and 39.5 degrees c, tsjt60 did not appear as ts mutant cells. however, once entered resting state (g0) under serum deprivation at the confluent state, they could re-enter s phase at 34 degrees c but could not at 39.5 degrees c following the stimulation of cells either by the addition of fetal bovine serum or by trypsinization and replating. these and other results suggested that tsjt6 ... | 1984 | 6692850 |
| effects of hypersensitivity to a halothane metabolite on halothane-induced liver damage. | the effect of immunologic hypersensitivity to a metabolite of halothane (trifluoroacetate) on the halothane-hypoxia-induction model was tested in mice and rats. male fisher 344 rats (200 g) were immunized with ovalbumin-trifluoroacetate (ova-tfa) and the time course of the delayed hypersensitivity response determined. the animals had a peak response between 4 and 6 weeks after immunization. rats were immunized with ova-tfa, ova, or saline 5 weeks before being anesthetized. ten days before anesth ... | 1984 | 6696235 |
| evidence for intrinsic cellular defects of 'complement' receptor-mediated phagocytosis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (sle). | fc and 'complement'-mediated phagocytosis of pre-opsonized yeast has been studied in monocytes from 18 patients with sle. monocytes from nine of 18 patients had depressed complement-mediated phagocytosis (p = 0.0001, fishers exact test) but only three of 18 had depressed fc-mediated phagocytosis (ns, fishers exact test). although reduced complement-mediated phagocytosis was correlated with increased frequency of disease manifestations (p less than 0.003, rank correlation) there was no correlatio ... | 1984 | 6697566 |
| effects of chronic manipulations of dietary choline on locomotor activity, discrimination learning and cortical acetylcholine release in aging adult fisher 344 rats. | dietary levels of choline have been shown to influence central cholinergic neurotransmission. to further examine the behavioral and neurochemical effects of dietary choline, adult fisher 344 rats were maintained on choline deficient (n = 6), enriched (n = 6) or usual lab chow (n = 6) diets for 38 weeks. during 14 weeks of free access to these diets, controls gained little weight whereas the deficient group increased and the enriched group decreased. for the remaining 24 weeks the weights of all ... | 1984 | 6738783 |
