electron microscopical and enzyme histochemical changes in the rat myocardium during prolonged autolysis. | the effect on rat myocardium of autolysis at 19 degrees c, for up to 20 days, was studied by electron microscopy and enzyme histochemistry. the enzymes studied included monoamine oxidase (mao), sytochrome oxidase (cyto), non-specific esterase ((ns.e.), phosphorylase (p-ase), succinate dehydrogenase (sdh) and various nad- and nadp-linked dehydrogenases. the myocardium lost its histochemical p-ase activity within a few hours of autolysis, whereas the activity of all other enzymes remained quite no ... | 1976 | 179522 |
the storage lipids in tangier disease. a physical chemical study. | the physical states and phase behavior of the lipids of the spleen, liver, and splenic artery from a 38-yr-old man with tangier disease were studied. many intracellular lipid droplets in the smectic liquid crystalline state were identified by polarizing microscopy in macrophages in both the spleen and liver, but not in the splenic artery. the droplets within individual cells melted sharply over a narrow temperature range, indicating a uniform lipid composition of the droplets of each cell. howev ... | 1977 | 193870 |
pregastric esterase and other oral lipases--a review. | the secretion of pregastric esterase and other oral lipases has been detected in 13 species. research on secretion by the human, calf, kid goat, lamb, and rat of pregastric esterase has been significant. secretion by calves is little affected by age or diet but is greater when calves are nipple fed than when pail fed. whole milk sham-fed to calves exhibits immediate, sharp decreases in ph and rennet coagulation time resulting from liberation of free fatty acids by pregastric esterase. bacterial ... | 1977 | 321489 |
immune responses during human schistosomiasis mansoni. i. in vitro lymphocyte blastogenic responses to heterogeneous antigenic preparations from schistosome eggs, worms and cercariae. | in vitro lymphocyte blastogenesis assays were performed using peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from patients with schistosomiasis mansoni. their infection was well characterized both clinically and in regard to the duration and intensity of schistosoma mansoni infection. subjects who were either not infected with any helminths or who were negative for s. mansoni but infected with other helminths provided two control groups. cultures were exposed to various concentrations of heterogeneous so ... | 1977 | 300716 |
particle-bound enzymes in the bloodstream form of trypanosoma brucei. | we have screened the bloodstream form of trypanosoma brucei for the presence of enzymes that could serve as markers for the microbodies and the highly repressed mitochondrion of this organism. none of seven known microbody enzymes were detected at all, but glycerol-3-phosphate oxidase, atpase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and part of the hyperoxide dismutase and malate dehydrogenase activities were found to be particle-bound after fractionation of homogenates by differential centri ... | 1977 | 195809 |
interactions of gonadotropins with corpus luteum membranes. i. properties and distributions of some marker enzyme activities after subcellular fractionation of the superovulated rat ovary. | the properties of a number of enzyme activities of the superovulated rat ovary have been studied to establish optimal assay conditions and specific assay procedures for each activity. the activities were chosen on the basis of their extensive use in other tissues of the rat as marker enzymes for the major cell organelles. homogenates of superovulated rat ovaries were subjected to fractionation by differential rate centrifugation, and sedimentation profiles were constructed for each marker enzyme ... | 1978 | 217656 |
isolation and partial characterization of rat cns axolemma enriched fractions. | axolemma-enriched fractions were prepared from rat brain by osmotic shock of a purified preparation of myelinated axons and subsequent separation of myelin, two axolemma-enriched fractions and myelin-free axons by density gradient centrifugation. compared with the starting whole homogenate, the fractions were enriched in specific activity of na+k+ atpase, acetylcholinesterase, 5'nucleotidase as well as 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'phosphohydrolase. compared with myelin, the axolemmal fractions are ... | 1978 | 206316 |
production and chemical studies of protease from bacillus subtilis (sh-6) egyptian strain. | bacillus subtilis (sh-6) egyptian strain, isolated from hides, gave the highest protease activity. luxurious growth and protease production were obtained by the use of a medium containing 8% of potato starch, 0,1 m of ammonium phosphate as carbon and nitrogen sources. results indicate that borate buffer exerted a deleterious effect on the protease production. comparing citrate and phosphate buffers, it was found that citrate gave lower protease activity than phosphate. there is a positive respon ... | 1978 | 98932 |
effect of human immunoglobulin preparations on fc rosette formation between anti-d-coated erythrocytes and lymphocytes. | human immunoglobulin (ig) preparations were tested for their inhibitory effect on fc rosette formation between anti-d-coated human erythrocytes and lymphocytes, as compared to their complement activating capacity. both of the two biological activities ascribed to the sites in the fc portion of the igg molecules were found to be reduced in the pepsin-treated, as well as in the s-sulfonated ig preparations, as compared to the activities of the normal human ig preparation. in the plasmin-treated ig ... | 1978 | 150144 |
eosinophil chemotactic factor (ecf). iii. generation in human peripheral leukocytes. | eosinophil chemotactic factor (ecf) can be released from human peripheral leukocytes by an ige-anti-ige reaction, by the calcium ionophore a 23187 and during phagocytosis. supernatants and sonicates of unstimulated cells contain little or no ecf. on stimulation, however, ecf activity increases in the cells and even more so in the supernatants. this holds for purified neutrophils (pmns) as well as for basophil-containing mononuclear cell preparations. these findings contrast with those in lung ho ... | 1978 | 344230 |

double osteotomy operation in the surgical treatment of coxa plana disease. | during the years 1975 to 1982, what was named the double osteotomy--which is a combination of pelvic osteotomy together with subtrochanteric varus, extension and derotation osteotomy--was applied to 26 cases suffering from coxa plana (perthes-calvé-legg disease). the postoperative follow up averages a period of three years and five months and was undertaken at the department of orthopedics and traumatology of the faculty of medicine, university of ankara, turkey. | 1985 | 3832036 |
autonomic regulation of the pulmonary circulation. | responses to vagal stimulation, acetylcholine, catecholamines, and sympathetic nerve stimulation were investigated in the feline pulmonary vascular bed under conditions of controlled pulmonary blood flow and constant left atrial pressure. results of these studies suggest that, in the cat, the vagus is composed of efferent fibers from both the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. the data also suggest that the feline pulmonary vascular bed is functionally innervated by cholinergic nerves, and ... | 1985 | 2409403 |
the effect of therapeutic soft contact lenses on antibiotic delivery to the cornea. | the effects of high (71%) and low (38.6%) water content lenses on antibiotic delivery to the cornea were studied in rabbits by measuring corneal tobramycin concentrations 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours after topical application at intervals of 15 minutes. in the presence of the low water content lens corneal drug levels were higher than in control corneas for every time point assayed. this difference was only significant at 4 hours (p less than 0.05). in eyes wearing the high water content contact lens cor ... | 1985 | 3975000 |
secretion of anti-müllerian hormone by immature bovine sertoli cells in primary culture, studied by a competition-type radioimmunoassay: lack of modulation by either fsh or testosterone. | secretion of anti-müllerian hormone (amh) by immature bovine sertoli cells in primary culture was studied through a competition-type ria employing a polyclonal antibody and 125i-labelled purified amh. this ria is approximately 10 times more sensitive than the solid-phase two-site monoclonal antibody-based ria described previously. biosynthesis and secretion of amh by cultured sertoli cells require approximately 48 h, are not influenced by fsh or testosterone and steadily decrease over a one-week ... | 1985 | 3000849 |
gastrin release from dispersed gastrinoma cells: effects of calcium and calcium ionophore (a23187). | dispersed single-cell suspensions of human gastrinoma tissue were incubated for 15, 60, and 120 min in a calcium-containing medium, (0.1, 2, 10 mm) in calcium-free medium and in calcium-free medium containing the calcium ionophore a23187 (0.01, 1, and 100 micrograms/ml). supernatant and pellet (intracellular) gastrin levels were determined by radioimmunoassay. supernatant gastrin levels remained stable over 120 min in calcium chloride or calcium gluconate containing medium, while intracellular p ... | 1985 | 3930881 |
increased interleukin-1 production and monocyte suppressor cell activity associated with human tuberculosis. | interleukin-1 (il-1) production by blood monocytes and blastogenesis produced by tuberculin purified protein derivative (ppd) in blood t lymphocytes were examined in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. monocytes were isolated from blood mononuclear cells by plastic adherence, and il-1 activity was determined in the mouse thymocyte proliferation assay. monocytes from patients with tuberculosis produced significantly higher activities of il-1 than did those from healthy tuberculin reactors when ... | 1986 | 2935057 |
effect of 1% sodium hyaluronate (healon) on a nonregenerating (feline) corneal endothelium. | a series of experiments were performed to investigate the effect of 1% sodium hyaluronate (healon) on the nonregenerating corneal endothelium of the cat. aqueous humor replacement with 1% sodium hyaluronate resulted in mild, transient elevations of intraocular pressure compared to eyes that were injected with balanced salt solution. sodium hyaluronate 1% protected the feline endothelium against cell loss incurred by contact with hyaluronate-coated intraocular lenses compared to endothelial conta ... | 1986 | 3531081 |

absence of a unique relationship between active transport of lactose and protonmotive force in e. coli. | the relationship between active transport of lactose via the lactose permease and the protonmotive force has been determined in e. coli cells using either the respiratory chain inhibitor cyanide or protonophores to decrease the protonmotive force progressively. in contradiction with the prediction of the delocalized chemiosmotic theory, two different relationships were obtained depending on the method used. | 1986 | 3025020 |
comparison of human growth hormone levels in children with satisfactory and unsatisfactory growth. | sixty-six children with satisfactory growth and 73 with unsatisfactory growth (both sexes) from three different age groups (1 year, 5 years and 10 years) were included in this study. it was observed that the serum concentrations of human growth hormone (hgh) in children with satisfactory growth ranged from 1.00 to 4.00 ng/ml and never exceeded 4.00 ng/ml. in a comparative study there was a significant increase in serum hgh levels in subjects of all age groups who were not growing satisfactorily. ... | 1987 | 2956220 |
human milk-derived lactoferrin inhibits mitogen and alloantigen induced human lymphocyte proliferation. | purified lactoferrin (lf), isolated from human milk, was tested for its effect on human t-lymphocyte proliferative responses to phytohemagglutinin (pha) and to alloantigens in mixed lymphocyte culture. lf inhibited proliferation in both assays in a dose-dependent manner. the suppressive effect was not due to lf mediated cytotoxicity since washing cells that had been pre-incubated with lf restored their proliferative activity. lf was most effective in suppressing the pha response when added withi ... | 1987 | 2963123 |
the effect of thiamin supplementation on the thiamin status of turkey poults with ethanol-induced cardiomegaly. | 1. turkey poults were treated with graded doses (0-5% v/v) of ethanol for 6 weeks. some birds were concomitantly injected intramuscularly with thiamin. 2. erythrocyte transketolase (tk) activity was significantly decreased and the erythrocyte pyrophosphate (tpp) effect and blood concentrations of lactate and pyruvate were statistically greater in all ethanol-treated poults by 42 days. 3. thiamin restored tk activity to normal levels and decreased the tpp effect and blood concentrations of lactat ... | 1987 | 2820834 |
capnocytophaga bacteremia complicating premature delivery by cesarean section. | a case of endomyometritis associated with capnocytophaga ochracea bacteremia following premature delivery is described. the patient, a 30 year old woman without immunological incompetence or other predisposing disease, responded to peroral pivmecillinam. capnocytophaga spp. should be considered a possible cause of post-partum endometritis. | 1987 | 3436319 |
anti-candida drugs--the biochemical basis for their activity. | the past years have seen a continuous effort toward the synthesis of new antifungal agents. most of them belong to the n-substituted imidazoles and triazoles. another interesting series of antifungals are the allylamines. biochemically, both the azole derivatives and the allylamines belong to the class of ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitors and thus differ from the polyene macrolide antibiotics. indeed, it is now believed that the antifungal action of the polyenes, nystatin and amphotericin b, is ... | 1987 | 3319421 |
survey of experimental data on fetal liver transplantation. | fetal liver transplantation has been shown to induce hematological and immunological reconstitution in irradiated rodents, dogs, horses, and sheep. engraftment and reconstitution without gvhd has been readily obtained using histocompatible donors. when mismatched fetal donors were used, a comparatively larger number of donor cells was required, in addition to pre-treatment of host with higher doses of irradiation or irradiation plus chemotherapy. stem cell suspensions devoid of any t lymphocyte ... | 1987 | 2893475 |
[structural analysis of the functional status of the brain as affected by bemethyl using pattern recognition theory]. | evoked visual potentials in associated, parietal and second somatosensory zones of the neocortex were analysed in trained cats using implanted electrodes. the influence of bemethyl on the structure of behavioral reactions was analysed using theoretical methods of perceptual images, particularly the method of cluster analysis. bemethyl was shown to increase the level of interaction between the functional elements of the system, leading to a more stable resolution of problems facing the system, as ... | 1987 | 3676492 |
penicillin tolerance in streptococcus faecium atcc 9790. | tolerant strains of streptococcus faecium had higher levels of muramidase 2 and lower levels of trypsinactivable muramidase 1 than did susceptible strains. susceptible strains lysed faster than did tolerant strains in buffer and at some antibiotic concentrations. the addition of triton x-100 produced equal lysis rates for susceptible and tolerant cultures. | 1987 | 3662476 |
retinal ganglion cells projecting to the accessory optic system in the rat. | the present data identify the distribution and morphological features of a homogeneous group of rat retinal ganglion cells. these cells were labelled after injection of either horseradish peroxidase or a fluorescent tracer, fast blue, into the medial terminal nucleus (mtn) of the accessory optic system. after retrograde fluorescent labelling, mtn-projecting retinal ganglion cells were intracellularly injected with lucifer yellow to reveal their complete dendritic morphology. there were on averag ... | 1987 | 3624547 |

[triglyceride fatty acids of abdominal adipose tissue in two lines of chickens rendered lean or fat by selection]. | newly-hatched chickens from two lines selected for high or low abdominal fat/live weight ratio, were fed on a stock low-lipid diet (2.9 wt % lipids) for nine weeks. linoleic acid made up 54.3% of dietary fatty acids. their abdominal adipose tissue and liver triglycerides were then isolated for fatty acid analysis. the linoleic acid content of abdominal fat triglycerides was higher in lean than in fat chickens (19.2 vs 16.4% of triglyceride fatty acids, respectively). this difference was highly s ... | 1987 | 3659563 |
protection against atherogenesis with the polymer drag-reducing agent separan ap-30. | the inhibitory effect of separan ap-30, an anionic polyacrylamide, on atherosclerotic plaque formation in aortas of rabbits on a high (2%) cholesterol diet was tested over a period extending from 37 to 170 days. atherogenesis was quantified morphometrically by application of a computer-assisted image analysis of histologic cross sections of the aorta. the area of vessel wall-atheroma interface, fraction of lumen occluded, and other indexes of atherogenesis were measured in each of 26 segments of ... | 1987 | 3815772 |

synapses from bipolar cells onto dopaminergic amacrine cells in cat and rabbit retinas. | dopaminergic amacrine cells in the vertebrate retina have long been characterized as 'interamacrine' as they were only found to be pre- and postsynaptic to other amacrine cells. immunohistochemistry with antibodies directed against tyrosine hydroxylase (th) revealed synapses from bipolar cell axon terminals to th-containing neuronal processes at ribbon synapses in the rhesus monkey retina. this finding challenged the notion of the dopaminergic amacrine cell phenotype as 'interamacrine'. in order ... | 1988 | 2906268 |
[3h]sch 23390 binding to d1 dopamine receptors in the basal ganglia of the cat and primate: delineation of striosomal compartments and pallidal and nigral subdivisions. | the distribution of d1 dopamine receptors was studied autoradiographically in the basal ganglia of the cat, monkey and human. these receptor binding sites were labeled directly with the d1-selective antagonist [3h]sch 23390, and ligand-binding assays were performed concurrently. serial- or same-action analysis permitted comparisons among d1 binding distributions, acetylcholinesterase staining and tyrosine hydroxylase immunoreactivity. in all species studied, the dorsal striatum exhibited patches ... | 1988 | 2901690 |
