| distribution of the antibody to influenza c virus in dogs and pigs in yamagata prefecture, japan. | the distribution of the antibody to influenza c virus in the dogs and pigs in yamagata prefecture, japan was investigated by using three different serological methods: hemagglutination-inhibition (hi), radioimmunoprecipitation (rip), and immunoblotting. the antibody against influenza c virus glycoprotein (gp88) was detected in 5 out of 112 sera collected from mongrel dogs, three by rip test and two by any of the three methods, suggesting that the virus can cause natural infection in dogs. signif ... | 1987 | 2836710 |
| electrophoretic polymorphism of erythrocyte leucine aminopeptidase in the wild boar, sus scrofa. | an erythrocyte leucine aminopeptidase (rbc lap) electrophoretic polymorphism was detected in italian wild boars, sus scrofa. such a polymorphism has not previously been reported in the domestic pig. it is suggested that this locus could be a marker for genetic differences between the domestic and the wild forms of sus scrofa. | 1986 | 3826759 |
| protective immunity to ascaris suum: analysis of swine peripheral blood cell subsets using monoclonal antibodies and flow cytometry. | outbred domestic swine or sla inbred miniature swine were exposed to ascaris suum either naturally on contaminated lots or by inoculation with uv-irradiated attenuated eggs. both inbred and outbred swine developed virtually complete protection to a challenge of 10 000 eggs after natural exposure, but inbred swine were less resistant than outbred swine after uv-egg exposure. flow cytometric analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from these animals, performed to determine changes in cell s ... | 1986 | 2939618 |
| strain-specific 1.7 kilobase repetitive deoxyribonucleic acid sequence family in trichinella spiralis. | eco ri digestion of bulk dna from trichinella spiralis p1, an isolate from domestic pig, reveals the presence of families of repetitive sequences. one of the most prominent of these has a monomer size of 1.7 kb, which exists in minimally dispersed direct tandem arrays, with a copy number of about 2800, and represents 2% of the genome. although there is evidence that the eco ri site is missing in some of the family members and that a 1.9 kb variant of the sequence also occurs, the family is highl ... | 1986 | 3027555 |
| assignment of the major histocompatibility complex to the p1.4----q1.2 region of chromosome 7 in the pig (sus scrofa domestica l.) by in situ hybridization. | the pig major histocompatibility complex (sla) was mapped by in situ hybridization. the probe used was a human cdna containing most of the coding sequence for hla-b7. the sla complex was localized to the region p1.4----q1.2 on chromosome 7. | 1986 | 3082605 |
| similar epidermal changes in hyperkeratotic scabies of humans and pigs. | we compared some morphological and biochemical aspects of the epidermal changes occurring in hyperkeratotic scabies in humans and domestic pigs. clinically and histologically, pig skin alterations look very similar to those observed in humans, i.e., brittle hyperkeratosis with parakeratotic crusting and thickening of the epidermis. parakeratosis seems to correspond to previous passage of scabies mites through the incompletely differentiated layers of the epidermis. indeed, by serial sectioning w ... | 1986 | 2425653 |
| conservation of diagnostic antigen epitopes among biologically diverse isolates of trichinella spiralis. | crude and immunoaffinity-purified excretory-secretory antigens derived from a domestic pig isolate of trichinella spiralis were used in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to test serum from mice infected with 25 different pig and wild animal isolates of t. spiralis sspp. all of the sera were found positive by elisa using either of the antigen preparations, indicating all isolates shared certain antigen epitopes. excretory-secretory antigens were prepared from 3 distinct isolates of t. spiralis ... | 1986 | 2434638 |
| [effect of iloprost on aggregation behavior in kidney conditioning and changes in iloprost concentration in kidney preservation]. | the conditioning of the donor by 1.0 microgram/kg x min iloprost over 15 minutes leads to a considerable inhibition of the aggregation of thrombocytes in the domestic pig. 160% more adp had to be added than before the application of iloprost. when 0.5 microgram/ml iloprost are added to the perfusion fluid and to the reperfusion fluid 0.22 microgram/ml and 0.27 microgram/ml, respectively, are to be proved in the venous efflux. whether or not the difference is absorbed or metabolized must remain o ... | 1986 | 2437731 |
| a preliminary comparison of trypanosoma simiae and t. congolense by isoenzyme electrophoresis. | trypanosoma simiae, although similar to t. congolense in morphology and mode of development in the tsetse vector, is regarded as a separate species mainly because it is highly pathogenic to the domestic pig and fails to infect rodents. to establish whether the two species are distinct biochemically, we compared by isoenzyme electrophoresis 2 isolates of t. simiae with 7 stocks of t. congolense, together with one of t. brucei. all isoenzyme patterns of the 6 enzymes examined differed in t. simiae ... | 1986 | 2872783 |

| the analgesic effect of buprenorphine, etorphine and pethidine in the pig: a randomized double blind cross-over study. | in order to find a suitable analgesic for the treatment of postoperative pain in pigs the analgesic effect of buprenorphine, etorphine and pethidine has been compared in 8 domestic pigs. for assessment of the analgesic action on thermal (hot plate) and two mechanical (cannulation of ear vein, needle prick) noxious stimuli have been employed. in a pilot experiment on 2 pigs in which methadone was included the maximal effective doses were estimated for each drug. methadone was found unsuitable bec ... | 1986 | 3766147 |
| povidone-iodine in polyethylene oxide hydrogel dressing. effect on multiplication of staphylococcus aureus in partial-thickness wounds. | we studied the ability of a polyethylene oxide hydrogel dressing (vigilon) containing povidone-iodine to prevent staphylococcus aureus proliferation in partial-thickness wounds. we previously reported that a single application of povidone-iodine on wounds challenged with 2 x 10(6) s aureus was not effective in reducing the number of s aureus after 24 hours. it was therefore hypothesized that povidone-iodine might be effective if it was available continuously and applied to wounds containing a sm ... | 1986 | 3767400 |
| effect of a reduction in blood viscosity on maximal myocardial oxygen delivery distal to a moderate coronary stenosis. | this study tested the hypothesis that a reduction in blood viscosity by means of isovolumetric hemodilution will permit an increase in maximal oxygen delivery to myocardium distal to a moderate coronary arterial stenosis. it is known that blood viscosity is a determinant of resistance to blood flow at both the stenotic and the arteriolar levels. accordingly, a reduction in blood viscosity could exert a favorable influence on maximal myocardial oxygen delivery in the setting of stenosis, provided ... | 1986 | 3769166 |
| the pig as a model for myocardial ischemia and exercise. | the pig has been well characterized as an appropriate model for the study of coronary physiology, the coronary collateral circulation and exercise physiology. we compared both yucatan miniature swine and young farm pigs in experiments involving myocardial ischemia, infarction and exercise. the yucatan pig was vigorous, docile and proved to be an appropriate model of coronary physiology and exercise in man. the exercise capacity of the yucatan pig was greater than that of the similar weight hamps ... | 1986 | 3773444 |
| long-acting intramuscular anesthetic regimen for swine. | a two-stage, long-acting, injectable anesthetic regimen which provided pain-free restraint for swine was developed using nine mixed-breed domestic pigs. each animal was administered a first-stage drug combination consisting of meperidine hydrochloride and azaperone in the caudal thigh muscles, followed after 20 minutes by a second-stage group of injections consisting of ketamine hydrochloride combined with morphine sulfate in the same muscles of the opposite leg. a mean surgical anesthetic time ... | 1986 | 3773452 |
| serum biochemistry of healthy yucatan miniature pigs. | sera collected from 24 (12 boars and 12 gilts) healthy, fasted 28-43 week-old yucatan miniature pigs were analyzed for 21 clinical chemistry parameters. the mean, standard deviation, median, and observed range for each parameter are presented as reference values for the normal blood chemistry for this breed. comparison with published values reveals that the yucatan miniature pig has a blood chemistry profile comparable to that of domestic pigs and other breeds of miniature swine. | 1986 | 3773456 |
| role of adenosine in mediating myocardial blood flow response to isoproterenol: observations in closed chest, sedated, domestic swine. | to test the hypothesis that adenosine is required to mediate the sustained increase in myocardial flow evoked by isoproterenol haemodynamic indices, myocardial blood flow (microspheres), and regional myocardial oxygen consumption were measured in eight closed chest, sedated pigs at control, after isoproterenol (6.9(2.8) ng x kg-1 x min-1 (mean (sd)) infused into the left anterior descending coronary artery, repeat control, and after a simultaneous infusion of the same dose of isoproterenol and a ... | 1986 | 3779747 |

| [epidemiologic survey of the cysticercosis endemic on réunion island]. | the high incidence of cysticercosis was underestimated in reunion island before computed tomography (january, 1984). in 1974, soulayrolles et boyer-vidal found that cysticercosis was responsible for 0.5 p. 100 of the cases of epilepsy. in hospitalized people, routine cranial and muscles radiographies detected: 1/among 242 epileptics: 183 men: 36 positive (19.67 p. 100); 59 women: 9 positive (15.25 p. 100), 2/among 166 non epileptic-related neurological disorders: 106 men, 6 positive (5.66 p. 100 ... | 1986 | 3797934 |
| comparison of experimental hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis in göttingen mini-pigs and swedish domestic swine. | mini-pigs of the göttingen strain and domestic swine of the swedish landrace were compared with respect to their susceptibility to alimentary hypercholesterolemia and experimental atherosclerosis. hypercholesterolemia was produced in both strains by adding 11.2% egg yolk and 0.5% cholesterol to the diet. the plasma cholesterol rose significantly faster and reached a higher level in the mini-pigs than in the domestic swine. in both strains most of the elevated plasma cholesterol was found in the ... | 1986 | 3964345 |
| regeneration of epidermis by cells grown in tissue culture. | pig epidermal cells were grown in vitro for 21 to 180 days, forming multilayered sheets of epidermis varying from thirteen to forty layers. for an evaluation of their use in wound coverage, they were transplanted onto surgically prepared full-thickness wound beds on domestic swine. autologous epidermal cells were studied on twenty-five of the animals, and allogeneic epidermal cells were studied on thirteen. autologous epidermal cells grown in vitro provided functional wound coverage 10 to 15 day ... | 1985 | 3973141 |
| effects of calcium entry blockers on coronary constriction and myocardial ischemia due to leukotriene d4. | recent studies show that leukotrienes (lts) produce profound coronary artery constriction. although calcium entry blockers are commonly used to remedy coronary vasospasm, their capacity to interfere with lt-mediated coronary constriction is unknown. therefore, we compared effects of intracoronary ltd4 before and during treatment with calcium entry blockers in the in situ, blood-perfused hearts of domestic pigs. intravenous administration of verapamil (0.1-1.6 mg/kg), nifedipine (10 or 100 microg ... | 1985 | 3981457 |
| notes on placentation in the suina. | we examined the gross and microscopic anatomy of placental tissues and umbilical cords from six species representing the three living families of the suina. these species included, of the suidae, the wart hog (phacochoerus aethiopicus), the giant forest hog (hylochoerus meinertzhageni), the domestic pig (sus scrofa), and the banded pig of malaysia (sus scrofa vittatus); of the tayassuidae, the white-lipped peccary (tayassu pecari); of the hippopotamidae, the hippopotamus (hippopotamus amphibius) ... | 1985 | 3991477 |
| group r streptococci: wild boars as a second reservoir. | group r streptococci have caused many cases of septicaemia and meningitis in patients handling live or slaughtered pigs which were the only known reservoir of group r streptococci. a human case, due to a wild boar, is reported here and it is therefore concluded that there exist both a domestic (pig) and a wild (wild boar) reservoir of group r streptococci. | 1985 | 3992197 |
| trichinella spiralis: acquired immunity in swine. | the ability of domestic pigs to develop protective immunity to trichinella spiralis in response to inoculation with different doses of muscle larvae was assessed. adult worms developing from the inoculations of 112, 500, and 10,000 larvae were expelled from the intestine about 6 weeks after inoculation. inoculation with 25,000 larvae, however, resulted in more rapid intestinal worms expulsion, indicating that gut expulsion is dose dependent. secondary expulsion also tended to be dependent upon p ... | 1985 | 3996525 |
| comparison of lung antioxidant levels in humans and laboratory animals. | basal lung concentrations of ascorbic acid (aa), nonprotein sulfhydryls (npsh), and alpha-tocopherol (alpha-t) were determined in rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, mice, domestic pigs and sheep, and in human lung samples obtained from cancer surgery patients. significant differences were found among the laboratory animals: aa levels ranged from 25.6 mg% (mg/100 g wet weight) in hamsters to 41.7 mg% in mice, npsh from 50.9 mg% in rats to 84.7 mg% in rabbits, and alpha-t from 1.01 mg% in hamst ... | 1985 | 4003918 |
| histologic and temperature alterations induced by skin refrigerants. | the histologic alterations induced by spray refrigerants independent of and in combination with dermabrasion were studied with the use of the domestic pig as a model. tissue injury was found to be a function of spray duration and freeze intensity. both preabrasion freezing and postabrasion refreezing could produce damage additive to that of mechanical planing. skin surface and intradermal temperature variations during refrigeration were recorded. the possible implications of these findings as th ... | 1985 | 4008684 |
| peripheral plasma prolactin concentrations during oestrous cycles in different types of primitive gilt. | plasma prolactin concentrations were determined by radioimmunoassay during oestrous cycles and around the time of oestrus in different types of primitive gilts: vietnamese, zlotnicka and wild-boar x domestic pig hybrids. the animals were bled without stress from an indwelling arterial catheter. the following results were obtained: (1) in all gilts the main prolactin peak was observed at day 15 or 16 of the oestrous cycle; (2) vietnamese and hybrid gilts showed a second smaller prolactin surge af ... | 1985 | 4038515 |
| assignment of the porcine major histocompatibility complex to chromosome 7 by in situ hybridization. | the major histocompatibility complex (sla) of the domestic pig (sus scrofa) was regionally mapped to 7p12----q12 by in situ hybridization with an sla class i-specific recombinant dna probe. this localization contradicts linkage data suggesting a possible assignment of the sla locus to porcine chromosome 15. | 1985 | 4042688 |
| topical chemotherapy of intradermal walker 256 carcinosarcoma with diaziquone and doxorubicin in the rat. | a model for metastatic skin cancer using intradermal injection of walker 256 carcinosarcoma has been developed in the rat. using this model, antitumor activity of topically applied doxorubicin and diaziquone in vanicream, plastibase, and dimethyl sulfoxide (dmso) as vehicles was compared with intraperitoneal injection of the drugs at the same doses beginning 4 days after injection of tumor cells. doxorubicin applied topically at 0.5 mg/day for 4 days in vanicream or plastibase exhibited no antit ... | 1985 | 4053022 |
| effects of different-shaped tissue expanders on transluminal pressure, oxygen tension, histopathologic changes, and skin expansion in pigs. | this study, performed on domestic pigs, was designed to show whether the shape and size of a tissue expander influences the amount of surface area increase. when a defect is irregular, a larger custom-fitted implant is more efficient than several smaller expanders. oval implants gained 5 percent more skin using 50 percent less time and almost 20 percent less intraluminal pressure, while u-shaped implants yield 2.2 percent more skin in 10 percent less time with 35 to 50 percent less pressure when ... | 1985 | 4059413 |
| reperfusion before global ischemic arrest improves the salvage of infarcting myocardium. | to study the effect of hypothermic global ischemic arrest on an evolving myocardial infarction and of perfusion of the ischemic zone or region at risk before global ischemia, 62 farm pigs underwent 15, 30, or 60 minutes of reversible coronary occlusion. twenty-eight of these animals served as controls: reflow to the region at risk was established by removal of the coronary occluder without the addition of global ischemia. another 26 animals had similar periods of coronary occlusion and then were ... | 1985 | 4062403 |
