role of iron in the pathogenesis of vibrio vulnificus infections. | infections with vibrio vulnificus resulting in septicemia and high mortality have been correlated with pre-existing liver disease and hemochromatosis. as these conditions are associated with impaired iron metabolism and as iron availability in the host has been implicated in the pathogenicity of a number of bacterial infections, the role of iron as a possible factor in the pathogenesis of v. vulnificus was examined. injection of mice with iron resulted in a lowering of the 50% lethal dose from 1 ... | 1981 | 7309236 |
vibrio vulnificus (lactose-positive vibrio) and vibrio parahaemolyticus differ in their susceptibilities to human serum. | eleven vibrio vulnificus (lactose-positive vibrio) strains were less susceptible to the bactericidal activity of normal human serum or serum treated with magnesium-ethyleneglycol-bis (beta-aminoethyl ether)-n,n'-tetraacetic acid than were six vibrio parahaemolyticus strains. | 1981 | 6788703 |
detection of extracellular toxin(s) produced by vibrio vulnificus. | conditions are described for the production, in high titers, a heat-labile, antigenic, extracellular toxin(s) by vibrio vulnificus, a recently recognized human pathogen. bacteriologically sterile culture filtrate preparations obtained from mid-logarithmic-phase cultures of the bacterium possessed cytolytic activity against mammalian erythrocytes, cytotoxic activity for chinese hamster ovary cells, vascular permeability factor activity in guinea pig skin, and lethal activity for mice. the specifi ... | 1981 | 7024134 |
prevention and therapy of serous otitis media by oral decongestant: a double-blind study in pediatric practice. | we studied the efficacy of (1) preventing the development of serous otitis media (som) by using an oral decongestant in children with acute otitis media and (2) treating som with an oral decongestant. in a randomized double-blind study, 190 children were treated for acute otitis media with antibiotics and either pseudoephedrine hydrochloride (sudafed) or placebo. they were evaluated two weeks later by tympanometry and (independently) by clinical evaluation and pneumotoscopy. there were no signif ... | 1981 | 351537 |

cytofluorometric and cytochemical comparisons of normal and abnormal human cells from the female genital tract. | acridine orange staining of exfoliated cells from epithelial tissues facilitates discrimination between normal and abnormal cells: abnormal cells develop highly elevated nuclear fluorescence. comparisons of acridine orange (ao) staining with propidium iodide (pi) or feulgen staining have shown that: (a) pi staining also provides highly elevated nuclear fluorescence from abnormal cells; (b) the distributions of nuclear fluorescence following ao or pi staining were usually not significantly differ ... | 1979 | 86579 |
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 |

antigenic correlation between rat brain synaptic vesicles and rat bone marrow b lymphocytes. | rabbit anti-rat brain synaptic vesicle serum reacted with thymocytes and b lymphocytes in cytotoxicity and immunofluorescence assays. quantitative absorption analysis revealed that this antiserum contained antibodies specific for antigenic determinants on the surface membrane of a subpopulation of rat bone marrow b lymphocytes. | 1979 | 91533 |
generation of a fibroblast chemotactic factor in serum by activation of complement. | when serum complement is activated by either the classical or alternative pathways, a factor with an apparent 80,000 mol wt is generated that is chemotactic for human dermal fibroblasts. the origin of this serum-derived chemotactic factor (sdcf) is not known; however, it may be a cleavage product from c5 because it is inactivated by monospecific antiserum to human c5, and it is not generated when the complement system is activated in human serum deficient in c5. sdcf is not chemotactic for human ... | 1979 | 91624 |
human lung tumor-associated antigens of 32,000 daltons molecular weight. | lung tumor-associated antigens of approximately 32,000 daltons were recognized by the use of sensitive radioimmunoassays and rabbit antisera, one raised against an extract of pooled human malignant lung tissues and another raised against a cell line derived from a human squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. these antigens differ from antigens described previously, including carcinoembryonic antigen and alpha-fetoprotein. the antigens were detected on 13 of 13 lung tumors (of all histologic types) ... | 1979 | 91695 |

study on the significance of bronchial hyperreactivity in the bronchus obstruction after inhalation of cat dander allergen. | the role of bronchial hyperreactivity in the process that leads to bronchial obstruction after inhalation of an allergen was investigated. in 30 asthmatic children selected because of a positive skin test to cat dander allergen, we measured the histamine threshold, the reaction after allergen inhalation, the allergen-specific ige concentration in serum, the lowest allergen concentration to which the intracutaneous skin test was positive (skin titer), and the histamine release of leukocytes after ... | 1979 | 92487 |
macrophage oxygen-dependent antimicrobial activity. i. susceptibility of toxoplasma gondii to oxygen intermediates. | a sensitive method for evaluating extracellular parasite viability was used to determine the in vitro susceptibility of virulent toxoplasma gondii to selected oxygen intermediates. by acridine orange fluorescent staining criteria, toxoplasmas were resistant to up to either 10(-3) m reagent h2o2 or h2o2 generated by glucose-glucose oxidase. in keeping with a lack of sensitivity to h2o2, toxoplasmas contained endogenous catalase (5.7 x 10(-4) baudhuin units/10(6) organisms). the addition of a pero ... | 1979 | 92521 |
the zinc iodide-osmium (zio) reaction in the central nervous system: localization and relations to functional activity. | the fine structural characteristics of zio reaction was studied in the cerebral and cerebellar cortex and olfactory bulb of the rat and in synaptosomes prepared from rat cerebellar cortex. it was concluded that: 1. organelles of different nerve cell types exhibit different zio reactions provided that the impregnation was carried out under standardized conditions. 2. 6...10 times more synaptic vesicles were stained by zio in the inhibitory terminals than in the excitatory ones. 3. zio positivity ... | 1979 | 92863 |

histochemical reactions of gastrointestinal mucosubstances with high iron diamine after prior oxidation and methylation of tissue sections. | high iron diamine reactions after the prior methylation and oxidation of tissue sections with performic acid or potassium permanganate (metox-hid or ox-met-hid) in epithelial mucosubstances and in mucosal mast cells were studied in tissue samples from the human gastrointestinal tract and were compared with reactions with high iron diamine without any pretreatment (hid) and high iron diamine with the prior methylation (met-hid). high iron diamine reactions after the prior oxidation (met-ox-hid, o ... | 1979 | 93103 |
analysis of vibrio parahaemolyticus soluble antigens by employing passive hemagglutination. | the passive hemagglutination assay was explored as a sensitive test of immunological reactivity of endotoxin and other antigens prepared from selected strains of vibrio parahaemolyticus. the tannic acid procedure for passive hemagglutination, commonly used with protein antigens, was the only procedure yielding good results with v. parahaemolyticus protein extracts, endotoxins, and related preparations. these results were probably due to the presence of large amounts of protein in the v. parahaem ... | 1979 | 93111 |
pneumococcal infections and the possible need for a vaccine. | antibiotics and chemotherapeutics have been available for about 40 years, but still bacterial infections constitute some of the greatest problems in medicine. pneumococci causing pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis and otitis are a leading cause of illness and death. the exact incidence and lethality of pneumococcal infections is not known, however, since they are not reportable diseases in most countries and since microbiological diagnosis is difficult. in the latest years some significant progre ... | 1979 | 93308 |
relationship of seminal volume to size and disease of the prostate in the beagle. | the seminal volume of young adult beagles was correlated with the size of and disease in their prostates. the ejaculate volume of naturally collected semen increased in a linear manner with prostatic weight in dogs with normal or glandular hyperplastic prostates. this correlation was not observed in the dogs with cystic hyperplasia, in which there was a reduction in volume of 50% in the semen produced for each gram of prostate. there were no significant differences in other seminal characteristi ... | 1979 | 93426 |

studies on fibronectin in the skin. iii. indirect immunofluorescence studies in lichen planus. | fibronectin is a glycoprotein which is responsible for a varity of functions in the human organism, such as mediation of contact between cells and between cells and fibres, opsonic qualities, interaction in the stabilization of fibrin, etc. fibronectin is an important constituent of the ground substance having a special affinity to collagen. in indirect immunofluorescence studies its presence has been abundantly demonstrated in normal human skin, in collagen-rich structures such as the basement ... | 1979 | 94206 |
chlamydia psittaci: growth characteristics and enumeration of serotypes 1 and 2 in cultured cells. | the growth characteristics of chlamydia psittaci serotypes 1 and 2 (ovine and bovine origin) were studed in mouse l cells. formation of inclusions and yield of infectious progeny for serotype 1 were maximal when host cells were treated with cycloheximide and the ph in the cell culture medium was 7.2-7.4. the number of cells that contained inclusions and the infectivity yield for serotype 2 were maximal when the ph was 6.6-7.0. treatments with diethylaminoethyl dextran and cycloheximide increased ... | 1979 | 94339 |
experimental transmission of wuchereria bancrofti to monkeys. | infective larvae of wuchereria bancrofti from laboratory-raised culex pipiens fatigans and aedes togoi mosquitoes fed on human volunteers in jakarta, indonesia (j strain) and kinmen island, china (k strain) were introduced into taiwan monkeys (macaca cyclopis) by subcutaneous inoculation, by foot puncture, or by permitting infected mosquitoes to feed weekly on the monkeys. some animals were splenectomized and others were treated with varying regimens of immunosuppressants. necropsy was done on m ... | 1979 | 107818 |
mechanism of folate transport in lactobacillus casei: evidence for a component shared with the thiamine and biotin transport systems. | lactobacillus casei cells have been shown previously to utilize two separate binding proteins for the transport of folate and thiamine. folate transport, however, was found to be strongly inhibited by thiamine in spite of the fact that the folate-binding protein has no measurable affinity for thiamine. this inhibition, which did not fluctuate with intracellular adenosine triphosphate levels, occurred only in cells containing functional transport systems for both vitamins and was noncompetitive w ... | 1979 | 108244 |
demonstration and characterization of specific binding sites for factor viii/von willebrand factor on human platelets. | the presence of specific factor viii/von willebrand factor (fviii/vwf) binding sites on human platelets has been demonstrated by using 125i-fviii/vwf and washed human platelets. binding is ristocetin-dependent and increases in proportion to the concentration of ristocetin from 0.2 to 1 mg/ml. binding of 125i-fviii/vwf to platelets can be competitively inhibited by unlabeled human or bovine fviii/vwf, but not by human thrombin, fibrinogen, alpha 2-macroglobulin, equine collagen, or a lectin of ri ... | 1979 | 108291 |
microscopic changes in rat tongue following experimental cryosurgery. | histological changes were studied in the rat tongue for varying periods of time up to 14 days following the application of a cryoprobe to the dorsal surface of rat tongue. within minutes of the application, focal subepithelial vesiculation and hyperemia occurred. at 3 h there was evidence of damage to capillary walls, resulting in hemorrhage. arterioles and venules were thrombosed and there were degenerative changes in the muscle layer of their walls. at 6 h ventral epithelium showed evidence of ... | 1979 | 108379 |
probenecid-induced increase of 5-hydroxytryptamine synthesis in rat brain, as measured by formation of 5-hydroxytryptophan. | probenecid blocks the efflux of 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-hiaa) from the central nervous system, and has therefore been used for turnover measurements of central 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-ht). this substance also elevates tryptophan (tp) levels in rat brain. in this investigation, the time courses of probenecid and tp levels in rat serum and brain after administration of probenecid were studied. maximal levels of probenecid were reached within 15 min, followed by 50% decrease of serum tp and a ... | 1979 | 108699 |
feeding parameters with two food textures after chlordiazepoxide administration, alone or in combination with d-amphetamine or fenfluramine. | chlordiazepoxide (5.0, 10.0 mg/kg) reduced the rate of eating and extended the duration of feeding in a 10 min feeding test. it also reduced the latency to feed. both fenfluramine (1.0 mg/kg) and d-amphetamine (0.25 mg/kg) acted to reduce food intake, but by differing mechanisms. fenfluramine reduced eating rate without affecting eating duration, whilst d-amphetamine reduced eating duration without reducing eating rate. the effects of chlordiazepoxide on feeding parameters were generally additiv ... | 1979 | 111292 |
[oculomotor reflex evoked by vibrassae stimulation in the cat]. | the oculomotor effects of vibrissae stimulation have been studied in the "encéphale isolé" non-anaesthetized cat. intracellular recording of lateral rectus motoneurones showed an excitatory projection via the ipsilateral infraorbital nerve to these motoneurones. the afferent fibers are type a alpha, recuited with a low threshold (0.2-0.5 ma) and convey information about vibrissae displacement. | 1979 | 120789 |
isolation and characterization of actin and myosin from b-lymphocytic guinea pig leukemia cells. | actin and myosin have been isolated from a guinea pig b cell leukemia line, l2c. the m.w. and amino acid compositions of these proteins are similar to actin and myosin from other nonmuscle cell types. l2c actin polymerizes to form filaments and activates the atpase activity of skeletal muscle myosin. actin in crude lymphocyte extracts does not polymerize as well as predicted from the critical concentration of purified lymphocyte actin suggesting that other factors in lymphocyte extracts regulate ... | 1979 | 156229 |

allometric radial growth in muscle, comparing fibres with strong and with weak adenosine triphosphatase activity. | a large flock of male and female white turkeys (meleagris gallopavo) was reared for 22 weeks after hatching. at two weeks intervals small groups of birds were removed from the flock and killed. samples of sartorius muscles were taken from the bird nearest the mean weight for its group. transverse frozen sections were tested for atpase activity by calcium method at ph 9.4. fibres were separated into two categories (strong-atpase and weak-atpase) and their mean minimum diameters were measured with ... | 1979 | 161561 |
the spontaneous rate of tumours in the laboratory rat: strain chbb: thom (spf). | the aim of this investigation was to examine the time relationship of the rate of development of spontaneous tumours in the rat, strain chbb: thom (spf). the rats were divided into 6 groups, each of which consisted of 100 male and 100 female animals. the first group was killed at the age of 15 months, and the last group when aged 2 1/2 years. thus the time interval between sacrificing the individual groups was 3 months. spontaneous tumours seldom appear in animals up to 15 months of age except i ... | 1979 | 161861 |
the fate of transplanted pancreatic islets in the rat. | syngeneic pancreatic islets transplanted into the liver or the spleen reverse streptozotocin-induced diabetes in the rat, but allogeneic islets function only briefly and are rejected. shortly after transplantation, thrombi often form around transplanted tissue, particularly around nonislet tissue that contaminates islet preparations. these thrombi are a source of transient liver injury in recipients of intrahepatic grafts. a few days after transplantation, syngeneic islets injected into the port ... | 1979 | 104625 |
implications for adult roles from differential styles of mother-infant bonding: an ethological study. | ethological observations of maternal and infant behaviors of nine vervet monkey pairs (cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus) showed the effects of differential styles of early maternal responsiveness on later infant competence. those infants receiving the least amount of maternal responsiveness and the most time-off the mother in the first 3 months of development were more socially competent at 6 months of age. the results are discussed within current ethological "attachment" theories. the detachment ... | 1979 | 105083 |
polychlorinated biphenyl-induced morphologic changes in the gastric mucosa of the rhesus monkey. | the early morphologic events in polychlorinated biphenyl-induced lesions of the gastric mucosa of immature male rhesus monkeys (macaca mulatta) were studied in serial biopsies taken during consumption of diets containing 3, 10, 30, and 100 mg. per kg. (p.p.m.) of aroclor 1242. the severity of the lesions correlated directly with both the duration and the level of exposure. the first changes were seen after ingestion of 30 and 100 mg. per kg. for 2 weeks; changes were not seen until 10 weeks at 3 ... | 1979 | 106183 |
[isolation and general characteristics of a group of pseudomonas aeruginosa temperate phages]. | eighteen temperate phages were isolated from 38 natural strains of pseudomonas aeruginosa. the phages belong to five heteroimmune groups according to the ability of lysogenic variants of the strains pao1 and pat2 to exclude the growth of the superinfecting phage. phages of the ii and v immunity groups are serologically similar; the remaining phages are not inactivated by antisera against phages b26 (ii group) and k1338 (v group). prophages of the ii, iv, and v groups are induced by uv for vegeta ... | 1979 | 106221 |

human cell membrane components dominant in t cell lineage: identification and characterization of human tl-like antigens. | cell membrane components that contain beta 2-microglobulin were purified from cells of a human t cell-type leukemia cell line, hpb-all. they contained membrane components that have the same molecular size and the same subunit structure as hla(a,b,c) antigens but are separable from the typical beta 2-microglobulin-containing cell membrane components, i.e., the hla (a,b,c) antigens, by xenoantibody reagents. a sensitive radioimmunoassay was constructed for detection of the t cell membrane componen ... | 1979 | 387877 |
scanning electron microscope observations of microvascular anastomosis in the rat carotid artery. | microvascular anastomosis is gaining increasing significance in the field of replantation and reconstructive surgery. although traumatic interference is minimized by microsurgery, thrombotic occlusions remain the major reason for clinical failure. with the improvement of suturing technique studies were directed towards the causes of failure using light and scanning electron microscopy. our study was focussed on the latter aspect. the left common carotid artery of 55 albino rats was transsected ... | 1979 | 387900 |
human plasma angiotensinogen: a review of purification procedures. | the current status of the purification and characterization of human angiotensinogen is reviewed. one problem encountered in the past has been the copurification of a protein with similar porperties. this protein has tentatively been designated alanine-protein. an efficient separation of angiotensinogen and alanine-protein was obtained on a zinc chelate column. alanine-protein has been purified and its amino acid and carbohydrate composition determined. the cooh-terminal amino acid and the nh2-t ... | 1979 | 390363 |
[measurements of the temperature during the use of dental ultrasonic devices]. | this investigation worked at temperature measurements in cylindric pieces of copper for determination of surface temperatures and in root dentin of calves using ultrasonics by varying intensity, water flowing and pressure. in each experiment two different dental ultrasonic devices were used with two tips. the experiments with sufficient water flowing showed that the spray temperature which was determined separately in further experiments influenced the measurements mainly. on the other hand an i ... | 1978 | 271584 |

gel filtration of sialoglycoproteins. | the role of sialic acid in the gel-filtration behaviour of sialoglycoproteins was investigated by using the separated isoenzymes of purified human liver alpha-l-fucosidase and several other well-known sialic acid-containing glycoproteins (fetuin, alpha1-acid glycoprotein, thyroglobulin and bovine submaxillary mucin). for each glycoprotein studied, gel filtration of its desialylated derivative gave an apparent molecular weights much less than that expected just from removal of sialic acid. for th ... | 1978 | 356853 |
connective tissue composition of aortas from non-human primates. a comparative study. | connective tissue composition of aortas from several non-human primate species has been studied in an effort to relate collagen, elastin, ang glycosaminoglycan (gag) content to species susceptibility to atherosclerosis. among the species studied the baboon contained the highest content of gag in the aorta. while the distribution of individual gag varied from species to species, heparan sulfate (hs) was the highest gag in aortas from most of the species. the ratio of hs to chondroitin sulfates (c ... | 1978 | 415748 |
prostaglandin (pg) analysis in urine of humans and rats by different radioimmunoassays: effect on pg-excretion by pg-synthetase inhibitors, laparotomy and furosemide. | the radioimmunological (ria) determination of prostaglandin (pg) e2 and of pgf2alpha in urine of humans and rats is described in detail. after extraction and chromatography pge2 was determined by using a pge specific antibody or by using either pgb or pgf2alpha specific antibodies after the respective conversion procedures. the three different ria procedures were compared to each other. pgf2alpha was determined by a specific antibody to pgf2alpha. basal excretion of pge2 and of pgf2alpha in heal ... | 1978 | 416466 |
comparison of interferon action in interferon resistant and sensitive l1210 cells. | translation inhibition, leu-trna aminoacylation and double-stranded rna and atp dependent phosphorylation were examined in interferon-treated and control cell-free lysates of leukaemic mouse l 1210 r and l 1210 s cells. no differences were observed between the respective interferon-treated and control cell-free extracts, except for the presence of an enhanced 67k dalton phosphoprotein fraction in interferon-treated l 1210 s cell-free extracts. in non-responding cell-free lysates, the lack of sti ... | 1978 | 212514 |
a three month inhalation toxicity study in the squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus) with terbutaline sulfate (bricanyl). | a study of the subacute toxicity of inhaled terbutaline sulfate was performed in the squirrel monkey (saimiri sciureus). 3 groups of monkeys were exposed 1 h daily 7 days/week for 3 months to terbutaline sulfate aerosols at concentrations of 0.039, 0.185 and 0.799 mg terbutaline/litre of air respectively. a fourth group was a chamber control receiving air only. the following clinical parameters were evaluated: physical appearance and behavior, weight gain, ophthalmoscopic appearance, electrocard ... | 1978 | 107616 |
[determinaton of intracellular immunoglobulins by means of immunofluorescence. 1. the standardization of monospecific luminescent antisera against human g-, a- and m-class immunoglobulins in bone marrow preparations from patients with paraproteinemic hemoblastosis]. | to assess the specificity and the activity of fluorescent antisera against human g-, a-, m-classes the authors used in the capacity of a substrate, containing specific antigen preparations, bone marrow cells of patients with paraproteinemic hemoblastosis. the method of making the preparations used permitted sufficiently objective assessment of the activity and specificity of the mentioned monospecific fluorescent conjugates. as revealed, the bone marrow preparations could be stored at -70 degree ... | 1978 | 106607 |
radical scavenging as the mechanism for stimulation of prostaglandin cyclooxygenase and depression of inflammation by lipoic acid and sodium iodide. | certain radical-trapping reducing agents have been shown to stimulate prostaglandin biosynthesis in vitro (1--6) and to depress phorbol myristate acetate-induced mouse ear edema (16). the increased prostaglandin synthesis resulted from influences on the cyclooxygenase. to ascertain whether these alterations were due to direct interaction with the enzyme or to indirect scavenging of the oxidant released during pgg2 reduction, we report the effects of lipoic acid and sodium iodide. both of these a ... | 1978 | 107544 |

studies on the occurrence of peptococcus indolicus and corynebacterium pyogenes in abscesses in swine, and on the occurrence of pc. indolicus in apparently normal skin and mucous membranes of piglets. | pc. indolicus was isolated from 42.7% and cb. pyogenes from 48.7% of 150 pus-samples from abscesses in pigs (slaughter-house material, table i). in 41 specimens the two organisms were found together. further, pc. indolicus was demonstrated in 22.4% of 290 swabs from apparently normal skin and mucous membranes of piglets (autopsy material, table ii). by gel diffusion analysis the strains of pc. indolicus were referred to the serotypes b, c, d, e, or f. the type distribution (table iii) possibly r ... | 1978 | 98755 |
[immunological relations between mother and child during pregnancy (author's transl)]. | the relations between the maternal and foetal organisms during pregnancy are partly very complicated and remain inexplicable. blastocyst, trophoblast, embryo and foetus have membrane antigens at a very early stage, and the immunocompetence of the foetus develops already during the second third of the pregnancy period. many non-specific factors are involved in preventing the castingoff reaction of the foetal organism. the trophoblastic tissue is probably of central importance. the focal point of ... | 1978 | 98927 |
interferon inducing activity of polyinosinic acid. | although poly(i) is generally considered to be inactive as an interferon inducer, we have found several authentic poly(i) preparations to be effective inducers. their interferon inducing ability varied considerably from one cell system to another. in human diploid fibroblasts, primed with interferon and superinduced by cycloheximide and actinomycin d, all active poly(i) samples proved nearly as effective in inducing interferon as poly(i).poly(c). in primary rabbit kidney cell cultures, the activ ... | 1978 | 99486 |
