morphometric analysis of the cell outlines of normal and polyomavirus-transformed fr 3t3 fibroblasts.a method is described for the analysis of cell shape, using an image analyzer connected to a computer to assess the cell outline. a series of parameters to assess the contribution of large cytoplasmic expansions to cell morphology and to cell spreading on a planar substratum were used to quantify the visual morphologic differences between normal (nontransformed; n.3t3) and polyomavirus-transformed (py.3t3) fisher rat 3t3 fibroblasts. the results show that the py.3t3 fibroblasts are more spherica ...19872822058
presynaptic opioid kappa-receptor and regulation of the release of met-enkephalin in the rat brainstem.opioid kappa-agonists had much more potent inhibitory effects on the high k+-evoked met-enkephalin release from rat brain slices than did the mu- or delta-agonists. the opioid kappa- antagonist, mr2266 enhanced the evoked release of met-enkephalin to a greater extent than did mu- or delta-antagonists in vitro and had a potent analgesia in mice in vivo. these findings suggest that the release of met-enkephalin may be regulated in vitro and in vivo, mainly by presynaptic kappa-receptor-mediated me ...19872829060

the kappa agonists pd117302 and u50488 produce a biphasic effect on 24 hour food intake in the rat.the effects of the selective kappa opioid receptor agonists pd117302 [(+/-)trans-n-methyl-n-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-cyclohexyl-]benzo-[b]- thiophene-4-acetamide] and u50488 (trans-3,4-dichloro-n-methyl-n-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-cyclohexyl]- benzeneacetamide) were investigated on food intake in non-deprived rats over a 24 hr period following subcutaneous administration. at doses of 2.5 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg, both pd117302 and u50488 initially increased food intake. between 6-24 hr, however, pd117302 (2.5-10 ...19872829048
subfractionation of human t lymphocyte subpopulations by partitioning: surface heterogeneity of the okt8/leu2+ t cell subset.human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) were subjected to countercurrent distribution in a charge-sensitive dextran-poly (ethylene glycol) aqueous two-phase system. cells are thereby subfractionated on the basis of their charge-associated surface properties. the helper/inducer t cell subset (okt4/leu3+) has a single distribution curve with a low partition ratio (p). in contrast, the suppressor/cytotoxic (okt8/leu2+) subset is clearly heterogeneous and gives two peaks, one with a lower an ...19872955975
chronic cardiac toxicity after inhalation of 1,1,1-trichloroethane.two patients showed evidence of chronic cardiac toxicity after repeated exposure to 1,1,1-trichloroethane. in both cases there was circumstantial evidence of a deterioration after routine anaesthetic use of the related compound halothane. an adolescent boy who sniffed trichloroethane presented with multiple ventricular arrhythmias during tonsillectomy. follow up showed mild chronic left ventricular impairment. a 54 year old man had repeated industrial exposure to trichloroethane and deteriorated ...19873105712

the leeuwenhoek lecture, 1986. environmental carcinogens and papillomaviruses in the pathogenesis of cancer.in many areas of the world there is a geographically localized high incidence of alimentary and bladder cancer in cattle. studies in western scotland have demonstrated that this phenomenon is associated with ingestion of bracken fern. however, the affected animals and herds were shown also to have an unusually high infection rate of alimentary papillomas caused by a previously unrecognised bovine papillomavirus (bpv) and that these tumors could undergo malignant transformation. long-term field a ...19872888116
high rate of plasmodium vivax relapse following treatment of falciparum malaria in thailand.within two months of treatment for falciparum malaria, plasmodium vivax infections developed in 58 (33%) of 174 patients who had received a quinine or quinidine regimen and in 46 (32%) of 145 patients who had received mefloquine with inpatient follow-up of more than six weeks. the time to vivax relapse was significantly longer after mefloquine treatment (median 47 days, range 30-65) than after quinine or quinidine treatment (21 days, 15-36; p less than 0.0001). all patients remained outside area ...19872889965
reinfection of guinea pigs with herpes simplex virus type 2: failure to establish a second latent ganglionic infection.guinea pigs were infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv 2) and at various times thereafter reinfected at a different site with the same or a different strain of hsv 2. viruses were isolated from infected tissues either from the site of primary or secondary infection or from regional ganglia. viral isolates were characterised by dna fingerprinting using restriction endonucleases capable of differentiating between the virus strains used. the second infection resulted in a second site of pe ...19872825951
molecular nature of a cell membrane antigen specific for human t-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.in the present work, we characterized the molecular nature of a t-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (t all) specific antigen, termed talla, which is defined by monoclonal antibody sn1. sn1 shows an extremely high specificity for t all. in the present study, sn1 was further shown not to react significantly with various normal solid tissues. talla was determined to be a glycoprotein with an approximate molecular weight of 150,000. however, the molecular nature of talla is peculiar in that heating ...19872440562
secretagogue-induced changes in intracellular ph and amylase release in mouse pancreatic acini.the response of the intracellular ph (phi) to stimulation of enzyme secretion in pancreatic acini was measured using the fluorescent dye 2'-7'-bis(carboxyethyl)-5(6)-carboxyfluorescein. acini suspended in ph 7.40 buffer demonstrated cytoplasmic alkalinization of 0.17, 0.14, and 0.15 ph units 2 min after addition of the secretagogues carbachol (10(-5) m), caerulein (10(-10) m), and bromo-a23187 (10(-6) m). corresponding net stimulated amylase secretion over 30 min was 9.2, 10.3, and 5.6% of total ...19872446509
unusual association of bone marrow necrosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and a rare 8;16 chromosomal translocation in an adult patient with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia.in a patient with acute nonlymphocytic leukemia of the classic type (fab subtype m2), three infrequently observed phenomena occurred together; bone marrow necrosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and an 8;16 chromosomal translocation. all three resolved with antileukemic therapy, only to reemerge when the leukemia relapsed, suggesting a causal relationship among these phenomena. such observations and the consistent application of cytogenetic studies to patients with leukemia may help el ...19873791177
cardiovascular response to sudden strenuous exercise.cardiac responses to sudden strenuous exercise were studied in seven dogs instrumented to measure cardiac output (q), stroke volume (sv), left ventricular (lv) pressure, aortic pressure and circumflex coronary blood flow (cbf). the dogs were run on a treadmill at 12.9 km/h, 20% grade for 15s without prior warm-up. during the first 10s of the run, hr and q increased rapidly. by 2s, myocardial o2 requirements, as estimated from either the tension time index (tti) or calculated wall tension, had in ...19873632566
immunization with heat-killed pneumococci, but not pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides, improves survival in splenectomized mice.immunization with pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides (pn ps) is advocated after splenectomy to decrease the risk of overwhelming sepsis. the clinical and experimental evidence for the benefit of immunization after splenectomy is controversial. various reports in the literature have claimed a benefit of immunization after splenectomy, but careful review of methodologies reveals that heat-killed pneumococci (pn) were used to immunize the experimental animals. since we have not been able to prot ...19873807350

[the effect of neythumun in comparison with 2-cyanoethylurea on the white blood count of the rat].the stimulation effect of neythymun-sol f+k (nthy) and 2-cyanethylcarbamide (cec) on the leucocytopoesis was studied in 30 wistar rats and a moderate but significant increase in the total number of leucocytes was found. the increase produced by cec didn't prove significantly higher than that by nthy. after 32 d the blood count showed a substantial difference concerning the neutrophils with an increase from 3000 to 9000 without deviation to the left, which was found only under neythymun. this com ...19863797457
influence of single neonatal treatment with allylestrenol or diethylstilbestrol on microsomal enzyme activity of rat liver in adulthood.a single neonatal treatment of rats with a steroid (allylestrenol or diethylstilbestrol) did not alter the later activity of the hepatic microsomal (cytochrome p-450) enzyme system, but inhibited the inducer action of another steroid (testosterone) administered at the age of six weeks. this suggests that a hormonal imprinting-like mechanism also operates in the case of enzymes.19863784633

effect of sodium pentobarbital on behavioral thermoregulation in rats and mice.in this study on behavioral thermoregulation, male sprague-dawley rats were given intraperitoneal (ip) injections of sodium pentobarbital in doses of 0, 1, 5, 10 or 15 mg/kg and male cba/j mice were given doses of 0, 5, 10, 15 or 30 mg/kg. the animals were immediately placed in a temperature gradient which allowed them to select their preferred ambient temperature (ta). the preferred ta of rats increased following an injection of 10 mg/kg sodium pentobarbital, whereas, the barbiturate had no eff ...19863754969
promoting informed consent of women in labor.laboring women are increasingly being asked to participate in perinatal research. these women should be considered captive or special subjects who deserve greater protection of their rights. essential elements of informed consent are reviewed. specific guidelines are suggested for promoting informed consent for women in labor participating in clinical research.19863639933
influence of mouse genotype on responses of central biogenic amines to alcohol intoxication and aging.dopamine and serotonin responses to various periods of alcohol treatment have been followed in striatum and hippocampus of two inbred strains of mice and related to the effect of aging. a striking strain dependency was noted for chronic alcohol effects and also for senescence. for both neurotransmitters studied the c57bl strain loses tolerance to prolonged alcohol injury earlier than the balb/c strain. this loss of tolerance accompanying aging may be indicative of more widespread changes in cns ...19863814344
dose-related effects of synthetic human beta-endorphin and naloxone on fed gastrointestinal motility.in humans, plasma beta-endorphin levels rise during application of acute stressful stimuli (vertigo, cold pain, and transcutaneous electrical stimulation) that induce gut motor disturbances. whereas it is possible that circulating beta-endorphin participates in the mediation of these central effects on gut motility, its role cannot be established solely on the basis of changes in plasma levels. therefore, we designed the present study to investigate 1) the dose-related effects of intravenous syn ...19862942039
structure-activity relationships of sex steroid analogs determined in vitro in a thyroid hormone-responsive membrane ca2+-atpase model.physiological concentrations of l-t4 were found previously to stimulate ca2+-atpase activity in vitro in reticulocyte membranes from female rabbits and to inhibit this enzyme in reticulocyte membranes from males. in these previous studies, preincubation of intact cells or ghosts with testosterone (5 x 10(-11) m) converted female-source reticulocyte membranes to male-type responsiveness to thyroid hormone (inhibition of ca2+-atpase activity). preincubation of reticulocyte membranes with 17 beta-e ...19862946570

physiology and pathophysiology of the colonic circulation.there is growing evidence that colonic blood flow is controlled by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. the existence of intrinsic vascular control mechanisms is evidenced by pressure-flow (and oxygen uptake) autoregulation, reactive hyperemia, vascular responses to acute venous hypertension, and a functional hyperemia. although myogenic factors have long been considered to be solely responsible for the intrinsic ability of the colon to regulate its blood flow, recent developments indicate that ...19863536216
a common mechanism of chromosomal translocation in t- and b-cell neoplasia.the chromosomal breakpoint involved in the t(8;14)(q24;q11) chromosome translocation in the skw-3 cell line, which directly involves the 3' flanking region of the c-myc gene, was cloned and sequenced. the breakpoint on chromosome 8 mapped to a position 3 kb 3' of c-myc while the chromosome 14 breakpoint occurred 36 kb 5' of the gene for the constant region of the alpha chain of the t-cell receptor (tcr). the translocation resulted in a precise rearrangement of sequences on chromosome 8 and what ...19863490692
hydatid disease: research and control in turkana. ii. the role of immunological techniques for the diagnosis of hydatid disease.immunological studies have been applied to the immunodiagnosis of human hydatidosis in turkana and for the specific identification of echinococcus eggs, particularly in regard to their potential for the assessment of a hydatid control programme in the north-west of the district. a high rate of false negatives has been obtained with sensitive antibody tests for proven hydatid patients in turkana and presents problems for prevalence estimation in the population. a seroepidemiological study using s ...19863787677
immunoelectrophoresis in quality control of veterinary clostridial products.each year the pharmaceutical industry produces 150-250 batches of anti-clostridial vaccines and sera for veterinary use in the u.k. under medicines act requirements these products must be tested for potency before release to the public, such tests being performed in animals. the ministry of agriculture, as licensing authority, also carries out potency test on representative samples of these products. to avoid unnecessary use of animals we employ immunoelectrophoresis (iep) as a screening test. r ...19863792642

insulin stimulates cord blood erythroid progenitor growth: evidence for an aetiological role in neonatal polycythaemia.polycythaemia in the neonate is a serious pathologic entity which occurs particularly in infants of diabetic mothers (idm) and small-for-gestational age (sga) infants. both of these conditions are associated with fetal hyperinsulinaemia. cultures of cord blood mononuclear cells from polycythaemic idm showed increased growth of late erythroid progenitor colonies, compared to cord blood mononuclear cells from non-polycythaemic infants, reflecting a possible expansion of this progenitor population ...19863539174
[experimental hypovitaminosis d in guinea pigs administered different amounts of vitamin c].the experimental model of d-hypovitaminosis is first obtained on guinea pigs. it is established that the least degree of its manifestation is determined under conditions of the optimal supply of the organism with vitamin c. the necessity of using ascorbic acid in a complex of rachitis prophylaxis measures is substantiated.19863705209
fine structure of the organic matrix of human pancreatic stones.pancreatic stones that were removed from the pancreatic ducts of patients with chronic calcifying pancreatitis were decalcified so the organic matrix could be studied by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. the observations made by scanning electron microscopy were compared with those made on undecalcified stones, and the findings were correlated with light microscopic observations. after the calcium carbonate was removed, the stones consisted of multiple partitions arranged like a spo ...19863575306
relationships between pulmonary inflammation, plasma transudation, and oxygen metabolite secretion by alveolar macrophages.we have previously shown that alveolar macrophages from normal rabbit lungs do not synthesize reactive oxygen intermediates unless first conditioned by culture in vitro in the presence of serum for 24 to 48 hr. this conditioning process is mediated by a serum constituent that partitions on gel exclusion columns with an apparent m.w. of 30,000 to 50,000 daltons. alveolar macrophage conditioning in vitro requires protein synthesis, is associated with the generation of membrane nadph oxidase activi ...19863486910

diversity and structure of genes of the alpha family of mouse t-cell antigen receptor.we have analysed 19 complementary dna clones encoding the alpha-chain of the t-cell antigen receptor derived from thymic transcripts, and find that 15 of them contain partial or complete variable (v alpha) genes. seven of these genes cross-hybridize to over 40 germline v alpha gene segments in southern blot analyses. of the 19 joining (j alpha) sequences examined, 18 seem to be encoded by distinct gene segments, hence the repertoire of j alpha gene segments is much larger than those of the immun ...19853839904
protein antigens of encapsulated klebsiella pneumoniae surface exposed after growth in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of cephalosporins.it recently has been reported by us that cephalosporins, at a concentration below that influencing growth rate, reduced the production of enterochelin and capsule formation of iron-depleted klebsiella pneumoniae. we now report on the antigenicity of the outer membrane components and surface-exposed protein antigens of iron-depleted cells grown in the presence or absence of cephalosporins. all major outer membrane proteins, including iron-regulated membrane proteins, were immunogenic. encapsulate ...19853914857
stoichiometry and kinetics of the interaction of prostaglandin h synthase with anti-inflammatory agents.we have examined the kinetics, stoichiometry, and chemical nature of the interaction of three anti-inflammatory agents (indomethacin, flurbiprofen, and meclofenamic acid) with pure ovine prostaglandin h synthase. the kinetics of the interaction with the synthase for each of the three agents, monitored by the decrease in cyclooxygenase activity, was consistent with the model proposed by rome and lands (rome, l.h., and lands, w.e.m. (1975) proc. natl. acad. sci. u.s.a. 72, 4863-4865): a rapid and ...19853930499

identification of apolipoproteins involved in the interaction of human high density lipoprotein3 with receptors on cultured cells.human high density lipoprotein (hdl), devoid of apolipoproteins e or b, binds with high affinity and specificity to cultured cells derived from several tissues. in order to investigate the ligand specificity of the putative receptor, we have performed competitive inhibition studies to identify the components of high density lipoprotein that bind to cell surfaces of rat adrenal cortical cells and human skin fibroblasts. radiolabeled hdl3 was displaced with unlabeled apolipoprotein-dimyristoylphos ...19852982866
thio-analogues of inorganic pyrophosphate inhibit the replication of influenza virus a in vitro.mono- and bisthiopyrophosphate can inhibit the replication of influenza virus a/x49 in madin-darby canine kidney (mdck) cells at concentrations at which no cytotoxic effect is observed after 3 days. the thiopyrophosphate analogues inhibit the rna transcriptase activity of this virus possibly by chelating with an essential metal ion in the transcriptase complex. [31p]nmr spectroscopy indicates that bisthiopyrophosphate coordinates to zinc through sulphur and magnesium through oxygen which may inf ...19852990333
studies on the mechanism of action of omeprazole.the effects of omeprazole on preparations of pig gastric (h+ + k+)-atpase have been studied. omeprazole was found to inhibit the (h+ + k+)-atpase activity in a time-dependent manner. inhibition was more pronounced at ph 6.1 compared with ph 7.4 and decreased as the concentration of (h+ + k+)-atpase preparation increased. the potency of omeprazole was therefore highly dependent upon the conditions used. when pre- incubated with (h+ + k+)-atpase preparation (30 micrograms protein/ml) for 30 min at ...19852992525

multilayer-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ml-elisa) for detection of entamoeba histolytica trophozoite coproantigen.multilayer elisa (ml-elisa) method for entamoeba histolytica trophozoite coproantigen was developed for diagnosis of amoebiasis and its usefulness vis-a-vis microscopic examination analysed for paired specimens from 87 patients from lucknow and hyderabad, india. all the stool specimens positive for trophozoites were also found to be positive in ml-elisa. out of a total 32 samples positive for cysts in microscopy 21 (65.62%) gave positive reactions for coproantigen. results on 26 samples drawn fr ...19852867033
trends in cancer mortality in italy, 1955-1978.trends in age-specific and age-standardized cancer death certification rates in italy from 1955 to 1978 were analyzed. in males total cancer mortality rates increased in all age groups. however, when respiratory and other tobacco-related neoplasms were excluded, death certification rates were roughly stable up to age 64. moderate decreases in overall cancer mortality have been apparent at younger ages (35-44) since the early 1970's. in females, all the age-specific and the age standardized, unde ...19854024279
preferential uptake of intravenously administered hyaluronidase (hyalosidase) by damaged rat myocardium.the induction of myocardial infarction in rats by ligation of the left-anterior coronary artery was confirmed by measurement of increased plasma levels of creatine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase. using this model system it has been established that intravenous administration of 125i-labelled hyaluronidase to rats resulted in a preferential uptake of the enzyme by damaged myocardium as compared to normal heart tissue.19854027352
enhanced responsiveness of the coronary blood vessel of the dog heart-lung preparation to pgi2 after chronic chemical sympathectomy.chronic chemical denervation of the sympathetic nervous system with 6-oh dopamine resulted in an augmentation of the coronary blood flow (cbf) increase inherent in the canine heart-lung preparation, but not in an augmented accumulation of 6-keto pgf1 alpha in the circulating blood. in denervated hlp, 6-keto pgf1 alpha was lower and the vasodilator response to pgi2 larger at the start of the experiments. it was concluded that exaggerated increase in cbf was due to a potentiation of the vasodilato ...19853932732
hypercalcemia in the neuroleptic malignant syndrome.the neuroleptic malignant syndrome (nms) developed in a 32-year-old man following fluphenazine enanthate administration. hypercalcemia was initially present, perhaps reflecting release of calcium from skeletal muscle stores. the elevated serum calcium levels support the existence of a peripheral muscle abnormality in the pathogenesis of the nms and provides another point of similarity between nms and malignant hyperthermia.19853970627
injections of atropine into the caudate nucleus impair the acquisition and the maintenance of passive avoidance.two experiments were performed to test the hypotheses that cholinergic activity of the caudate nucleus (cn) is involved in the acquisition and in the maintenance of passive avoidance behavior. rats were trained, in one trial, to avoid one of two compartments of a conditioning box and retention of the task was measured 24 hours later. several doses of atropine were injected into the cn of independent groups of animals. in experiment 1 the atropine was injected 2 minutes after training and in expe ...19853983217
excretion of radioactivity in faeces and urine of rats injected with 3h,14c-lipopolysaccharide.the route of excretion of lipopolysaccharide (lps) and its possible degradation in vivo was studied in rats using biosynthetically radiolabelled lps from salmonella abortus equi, carrying 3h activity exclusively in fatty acids and 14c activity in fatty acids and sugars. following intravenous injection of the above lps in as2 rats with or without anaesthesia, excretion of radioactivity occurred mainly in the faeces and to smaller extent in urine. the rate of excretion was slow, a large part of th ...19854005148

an electromyographic study of uterotubal activity in the ewe.the electrical activity of the oviduct and uterus was automatically registered on a potentiometric pen recorder in ewes fitted with an extracellular multielectrode assembly. the duration and amplitude of local non-propagating activity of the uterus increased and became progressively grouped into phases as natural oestrus progressed. phases of contractions lasting 5-6 min were initially propagated at a rate of 2/hr. their frequency increased within 24 hr of the decline in plasma progesterone leve ...197660491
changes in monoamine oxidase and monoamines with human development and aging.a series of studies of monoamines and their metabolism in a variety of human tissues indicate that there are aging effects that may alter neurotransmitter substances. monoamine oxidase (mao) activity has a significant positive correlation with age in plasma and blood platelets of normal subjects and patients suffering from depressive disorders. monoamine oxidase and age correlate positively in hindbrain and in eight separate ares of human brains from patients who died from a variety of causes. h ...19751088942
comparative morphology of genital cones of genus ancylostoma dubini, 1843.male worms of ancylostoma braziliense, a. ceylanicum, a. kusimaense, a. malayanum, a. duodenale, a. caninum, a. tubaeforme, agriostomum vryburgi and cyclodontostomum purvisi have the external appendages beside the anogenital aperture. these anogenital structures are morphologically similar and are assumed to be homologous among the species with three pairs of teeth or more. in hookworms with two pairs of teeth, the anogenital structures are complex. anogenital features can be used as a taxonomic ...19751166351

effect of weak acids on amino acid transport by penicillium chrysogenum: evidence for a proton or charge gradient as the driving force.a variety of weak acids at and below their pk(a) are potent inhibitors of transport in penicillium chrysogenum. the effective compounds include sorbate, benzoate, and propionate (common antifungal agents), indoleacetate (a plant hormone), acetylsalicylate (aspirin), hexachlorophene, and a yellow pigment produced by the mycelia under nutrient-deficient conditions, as well as the classical uncouplers 2,4-dinitrophenol, p-nitrophenol, and azide. the results suggest that a proton gradient or charge ...19734632394
