| effect of increased static lung recoil on bronchial dimesions of excised lungs. | we measured bronchial diameters and lengths during static deflation and inflation in eight excised dog lobes before and after static lung recoil (pst(l)) had been significantly increased by cooling the lobe for 48 h at 4 degrees c and ventilating it for 3 h. in control lobes, bronchial diameters were the same at any volume even though pst(l) was different during inflation and deflation. these results agree with those of hughes et al. (j. appl. physiol. 32: 25-35, 1972). however, when pst(l) was ... | 1975 | 1176409 |
| stimulation of late interphase dictyostelium discoideum amoebae with an external cyclic amp signal. | the microelectrode system described in the accompanying paper was used to investigate properties of fields of dictyostelium discoideum amoebae in late interphase. cells in the fields were competent to respond chemotactically to, and to relay, a c-amp signal, but not to produce an aggregative signal autonomously. the experimental results are generally consistent with c-amp being the sole compound required for chemotaxis and signal relaying. a periodic signal from the microelectrode can initiate a ... | 1975 | 167879 |

| quantification of bcg-induced reactions of t and b areas in peripheral lymphoid organs of young adult balb/c mice. a histomorphometrical and autoradiographical study. | significant structural alterations of the axillary lymph nodes and spleens were revealed by histomorphometry following intraperitoneal injection of bcg into young adult balb/c mice. the relative proportions of the germinal center areas were increased in lymph nodes as well as in spleens. the overall proportion of the b cell areas, however, showed a significant increase only in the spleens, compared to a significant reduction in the lymph nodes. by contrast, t cell areas appeared significantly re ... | 1979 | 313564 |
| age-dependent increase in the formation of prostaglandin i2 by intact and homogenised aortae from the developing spontaneously hypertensive rat. | the prostaglandin i2 biosynthetic capacity of aortae from spontaneously hypertensive rats of various ages (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 months) was investigated. an age-dependent increase in enzyme activity was observed reaching maximum by three months of age which correlated well with the age- related increase in the systolic blood pressure. these results support our notion that the enhanced aortic synthesis of the potent vasodepressor prostaglandin i2 by the spontaneously hypertensive rat likely represen ... | 1979 | 383156 |
| the puzzle of "urethral syndrome": a possible answer? | 82 strains of slow-growing, co2-dependent, gram-positive organisms have been isolated from the urine of 9 male and 73 female patients. 100% of the men and 93% of the women had urinary symptoms at the time of isolation, and 66% of the specimens showed pyuria. these organisms might account for the urinary symptoms of some patients previously diagnosed as having "urethral syndrome". preliminary data show that, if appropriate antibacterial treatment is given, most of these patients become symptom-fr ... | 1979 | 86778 |
| lipopolysaccharide-derived serotype polysaccharides from neisseria meningitidis group b. | three immunologically distinct types of polysaccharides have been isolated by diethylaminoethyl (deae) chromatography from the lipopolysaccharide extracts of group b neisseria meningitidis. all types contain a set of common determinants, as well as distinct ones; all of these determinants are detectable by either immunodiffusion or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa). the polysaccharides elute from a sepharose 4b column in the range of 2-3 x 10(5) daltons and have isoelectric points from 4 ... | 1979 | 88491 |

| the binding of pirenzepine to digitonin-solubilized muscarinic acetylcholine receptors from the rat myocardium. | the binding of pirenzepine to digitonin-solubilized rat myocardial muscarinic acetylcholine receptors has been examined at 4 degrees c. solubilization produced only small changes in the binding of n-methylscopolamine and atropine. in contrast to the low affinity binding of pirenzepine found to be present in in the membranes, high affinity binding was detected in the soluble preparation. in both preparations, pirenzepine binding was complex. high affinity pirenzepine binding (kd approximately 3 x ... | 1986 | 3754173 |
| regional myocardial protection by retrograde coronary sinus infusion of cardioplegic solution. | antegrade administration of a cardioplegic solution in the presence of a coronary artery stenosis may lead to the heterogeneous distribution of the agent and poor myocardial cooling distal to a vessel stenosis. to determine the effects of retrograde coronary sinus infusion of cardioplegic solution, coronary stenosis was created in the canine preparation by occluding the left circumflex artery (lcx) during cardioplegic arrest. left ventricular global and regional function (assessed by sonomicrome ... | 1986 | 3769184 |
| antibiotic resistance patterns of vibrio mimicus isolated from human and environmental sources in bangladesh. | twenty-five environmental and 19 clinical strains of vibrio mimicus were tested for antibiotic susceptibility patterns. environmental strains were resistant to streptomycin, kanamycin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole; clinical strains were susceptible. environmental strains showed variable resistance to ampicillin (44%), but clinical strains were susceptible. all strains tested were susceptible to chloramphenicol and gentamicin. | 1986 | 3789697 |
| the diagnostic usefulness of electron microscopy investigation of orbital embryonal rhabdomyosarcomas. | the ultrastructural study of three malignant orbital tumors, only one of which was correctly diagnosed as embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma upon histologic examination, is reported. in all 3 cases electron microscopic investigation revealed the presence of rhabdomyoblasts. these are easily recognizable in one case in which the diagnosis was made on the basis of the optical microscopic study. the other two cases needed further tests to evince rhabdomyoblasts. the importance of an ultrastructural study f ... | 1986 | 268718 |

| the morphology and distribution of serotonin-like immunoreactive fibers in the cat dorsal column nuclei. | fibers showing serotonin-like immunoreactivity (5-ht-li) are demonstrated in the gracile, cuneate and external cuneate nuclei of the cat using avidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase and indirect fluorescence immunohistochemical methods. 5-ht-li fibers are located in all cytoarchitectural subdivisions of the gracile and cuneate nuclei but are restricted to the medial half of the external cuneate nucleus. in all nuclei, 5-ht-li fibers consist of long, varicose strands showing a wide range in t ... | 1987 | 3554006 |
| anticoccidial activity of alborixin. | alborixin, a polyether antibiotic with ionophore properties, was evaluated to determine the effect of the drug on weight gain of chickens and to define the anticoccidial spectrum of activity. the 50-ppm concentration in the diet was identified as the maximum level that did not significantly reduce weight gain beyond that of monensin (standard drug); consequently, the drug was evaluated for anticoccidial activity at this dilution. at the 50-ppm level, alborixin demonstrated broad-spectrum anticoc ... | 1987 | 3572663 |
| incidence of vibrio cholerae from estuaries of the united states west coast. | the incidence of vibrio cholerae in shellfish, sediment, and waters of california, oregon, and washington was determined during the summer of 1984. samples from 24 distinct estuaries were analyzed qualitatively. v. cholerae non-o1 was found in 23 estuaries and in 44.6% of the 529 samples examined. v. cholerae o1 inaba was isolated from water samples in morro bay, calif. vibrio mimicus was found in 2.3% of the samples. cholera enterotoxin was not found in cell-free filtrates of the 100 isolates t ... | 1987 | 3606111 |
| pentapeptide nuclear localization signal in adenovirus e1a. | the adenovirus e1a gene products are nuclear proteins important in transcriptional control of viral functions during infection. by producing normal e1a proteins and derivatives of e1a in bacteria and microinjecting these proteins into cultured cells, we were able to examine their ability to localize to the nucleus. we showed that a short peptide sequence at the carboxyl terminus of e1a is necessary for the rapid (30-min) nuclear localization of that protein. additionally, we showed that just the ... | 1987 | 3614197 |
| na+ modulates the k+ permeability and the membrane potential of alkalophilic bacillus. | in the absence of na+ in the medium, the membrane potential of obligately alkalophilic bacillus cells was found to be decreased by the addition of k+ to the medium, whereas k+ addition in the presence of na+ had no effect. rb+ showed essentially the same effect as k+. the decreased membrane potential was quickly restored by lowering the k+ concentration in the medium or by adding na+ or li+ to the medium. thus, in the absence of na+, the membrane potential of alkalophilic bacillus seems to be af ... | 1987 | 3663674 |
| toxin production by vibrio mimicus strains isolated from human and environmental sources in bangladesh. | vibrio mimicus has recently been isolated from aquatic environments of bangladesh. a total of 125 of 300 environmental isolates, representing various biotypes, and 19 human isolates were tested for enteropathogenicity by using several models. less than 1% of the environmental isolates and slightly more than 10% of the clinical isolates produced cholera toxin-like toxin. a significant percentage of the environmental isolates (25%) and of the human isolates (74%) induced fluid accumulation in liga ... | 1987 | 3693548 |
| biosynthesis and processing of platelet gpiib-iiia in human megakaryocytes. | platelet membrane glycoprotein iib-iiia forms a calcium-dependent heterodimer and constitutes the fibrinogen receptor on stimulated platelets. gpiib is a two-chain protein containing disulfide-linked alpha and beta subunits. gpiiia is a single chain protein. these proteins are synthesized in the bone marrow by megakaryocytes, but the study of their synthesis has been hampered by the difficulty in obtaining enriched population of megakaryocytes in large numbers. to examine the biosynthesis and pr ... | 1987 | 3108266 |

| role of postnatal gonadal function in the determination of thyrotropin (tsh) releasing hormone-induced tsh response in adult male and female rats. | permanent effects of postnatal gonadal function on the hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis were examined in male and female rats of the wistar-imamichi strain. animals were used at the age of about 10 weeks. neonatally castrated (nc) males showed a significantly higher plasma tsh response to trh (10 micrograms/kg bw, ip) than males castrated at 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 weeks of age. the tsh response in intact males was similar to that seen in nc males. neonatal androgenization of nc males with 100 microg ... | 1987 | 3032567 |
| structural and functional studies of the amino terminus of yeast metallothionein. | purified yeast copper-metallothionein lacks 8 amino-terminal residues that are predicted from the dna sequence of its gene. the removed sequence is unusual for metallothionein in its high content of hydrophobic and aromatic residues and its similarity to mitochondrial leader sequences. to study the significance of this amino-terminal cleavage, several mutations were introduced into the metallothionein coding gene, cup1. one mutant, which deletes amino acid residues 2-8, had a minor effect on the ... | 1987 | 3308865 |
| trimethoprim used for selective decontamination of the digestive tract in rats: possible route of excretion. | selective elimination of enterobacteriaceae species from the digestive tract of rats has been accomplished by oral treatment with trimethoprim (235 mg/kg body weight/day) within 6 days. in the present study it was investigated whether this elimination was mainly due to antimicrobial activity of trimethoprim excreted with the gastrointestinal mucus or mainly by non-absorbed trimethoprim in the lumen contents. by means of whole gut irrigation (wgi) the lumen contents were washed out, followed by m ... | 1987 | 3497436 |
| simultaneous measurement of preferred ambient temperature and metabolism in rats. | a recent study from this laboratory found that rats placed in a temperature gradient preferred ambient temperatures (ta) that were significantly below the lower critical ta of the thermoneutral zone for elevating metabolic rate (mr). to further evaluate the interaction between preferred ta and mr in the rat, a system was developed where preferred ta, mr (i.e., o2 consumption), and activity could be automatically monitored in the unrestrained rat. two groups of male sprague-dawley rats, a light-w ... | 1988 | 3344833 |
| structural and functional studies of the effects of sympathetic nerve stimulation on rabbit submandibular salivary glands. | continuous sympathetic stimulation at 8-10 hz caused intense vasoconstriction in the gland, so stimulation was generally given in an interrupted pattern to minimize this detrimental effect on secretion. only a small increase in fluid secretion occurred; it became thick and tended to block the cannula; therefore in later experiments the main duct was not cannulated. after sympathetic stimulation there was substantial degranulation of acinar cells. however, as this was accompanied by little moveme ... | 1988 | 3165262 |
| coagglutination of vibrio cholerae, vibrio mimicus, and vibrio vulnificus with anti-flagellar monoclonal antibody. | monoclonal antibodies (mabs) with serological activity for purified flagellar (h) core protein prepared from vibrio cholerae were identified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. four of these mabs reacted with the flagella of v. cholerae and v. mimicus exclusively, while eight mabs reacted with at least 1 of 30 heterologous vibrio species tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or coagglutination. it appears that v. cholerae and v. mimicus express similar, if not identical, h determinants u ... | 1988 | 3182988 |
| studies on the factors affecting the haemolysin production of vibrio mimicus isolated from clinical and environmental sources. | the in vitro production of haemolysin by vibrio mimicus, a newly described aetiological agent for human diarrhoea, was determined using sheep erythrocytes. the effects of medium composition and sodium chloride concentration on haemolysin production and its heat stability were investigated. the haemolysin was produced optimally in brain-heart infusion broth and was unaffected by salt concentration up to 1.5%. however, haemolysin production decreased gradually with increasing concentrations of sal ... | 1988 | 3188168 |
| excision of cutaneous tumors in the horse using histologic guidance. | a highly successful surgical technique for removing cutaneous tumors in humans was used in seven horses with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (n = 3) or sarcoid (n = 4). in humans, the complete underside of the tumor is evaluated histologically by processing horizontal sections from the tumor base, and orientation between the wound surface and the undersurface of the excised tumor is maintained by mapping both surfaces. the technique ensures that small foci of residual tumor can be located accu ... | 1988 | 3227634 |
| hypergammaglobulinemia associated with human immunodeficiency virus infection. | the serum concentrations of 11 ig isotypes (igg, igg1, igg2, igg3, igg4, iga, iga1, iga2, igm, igd, and ige) were measured in four relatively small groups of homosexual (or bisexual) males. all these patients were seropositive for hiv. two of the groups (nonprogressors) were clinically stable for approximately 2 years and were characterized either as asymptomatic or with pgl. the third group (progressors) developed aids 2-38 months after blood specimens were taken. the fourth group had aids. a f ... | 1988 | 3260340 |
| mechanism of the epsp synthase catalyzed reaction: evidence for the lack of a covalent carboxyvinyl intermediate in catalysis. | in order to detect covalent reaction intermediates in the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (epsp) synthase reaction, we have investigated the interaction of epsp synthase with the reaction product epsp. an exchange of epsp-methylene protons could be demonstrated by incubating epsps with epsp in d2o. since trace amounts of contaminating pi would lead to reversal of epsps reaction and hence methylene proton exchange, we added pyruvate kinase, adp, mg++ and k+. under these conditions, any contami ... | 1988 | 2838023 |
| evidence of functional alpha 2-adrenergic receptors in adult-rat adipocytes by using the agonist uk 14304. | the aim of this study was to re-assess whether alpha 2-adrenergic receptors were present in rat adipocytes, by using uk 14304, a new and very selective alpha 2-agonist. the following observations demonstrate the presence of functional alpha 2-adrenoceptors in rat adipocytes. (1) adipocyte lipolysis was dose-dependently inhibited by uk 14304 (maximal effect 80% at 1 microm-uk 14304, 45% at 10 microm-uk 14304, under basal or theophylline-stimulated conditions respectively). (2) uk 14304 bound spec ... | 1988 | 2901830 |
