evidence for a class 4 effect of cibenzoline "in vivo".in anesthetized dogs, it has already been shown that cibenzoline (4 mg/kg i.v.) possesses class 1 anti-arrhythmic properties. in this work, the cardiac electrophysiologic effects of cibenzoline (1 mg/kg i.v.) were studied before and after propranolol (0.2 mg/kg i.v.) treatment. cibenzoline caused a slight tachycardia, a reduction of conduction velocity in the his-purkinje system and in the ventricle, but no significant effects in the atria and the atrioventricular node were detected. on the cont ...19873632139
induction of a rapidly responsive hepatic gene product by thyroid hormone requires ongoing protein synthesis.the regulation of a gene, designated spot 14, which is rapidly induced in rat liver in response to 3,5,3'-triiodo-l-thyronine (t3) was studied as a model for exploring the molecular basis of thyroid hormone action. the time course of induction of the nuclear precursor to spot 14 mrna after intramuscular injection of t3 displayed a very short lag period of between 10 and 20 min. the rapidity of this effect suggests that the induction in gene expression occurs as a primary response to the hormone- ...19873648478
plasma concentration of local anaesthetic agents in regard to absorption, distribution and elimination, with special reference to bupivacaine.absorption from the injection site, tissue distribution, metabolism and urinary excretion are the factors determining the plasma concentration of local anaesthetic agents. other factors such as physico-chemical properties of these drugs may have important influences on these processes. an example of this is the difference in tissue distribution and plasma/erythrocyte ratio as well as an increase in plasma concentration of bupivacaine seen in acidosis. the importance for the plasma concentration, ...1975238555
gliosarcoma with chromosome abnormalities in a neonate exposed to heptachlor.a neonate with a cerebral gliosarcoma was found to have chromosome abnormalities in tissue culture of the tumor, but normal karyotyping of peripheral blood. similarities to and differences from chromosome abnormalities found in other human gliomas are noted. unusual exposure of the child to heptachlor during prenatal development and the neonatal period suggests the need for further studies on the role of toxins in oncogenesis.19873683793
[in vitro growth of lingual epithelial basal cells as affected by an extract of the nodose ganglion].nodose ganglion extract has a stimulating effect on the in vitro proliferation of tongue epithelium basal cells. neurotrophic control of these target cells can be realized by mitogen-like chemical factors which are probably synthesized in sensory neurons, secreted from afferent nerve terminals and stimulate the proliferation of competent cells.19863697497

the effect of vanadium on lung collagen content and composition in two successive generations of rats.lung collagen content in rats continuously exposed for two generations to 20 ppm vanadium as sodium metavanadate drinking solution was quantified by measurement of hydroxyproline in hydrolysates of whole lungs. the content of soluble and insoluble collagen isolated from the lungs of the same treated rats was also quantified by the same means. it was found that the content and composition of lung collagen for both f1 term fetuses and 21-day-old f1 pups of the treated group did not differ from the ...19883376147
assay of cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity in rat hepatocytes in primary monolayer culture.a sensitive and precise method is described to assay cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase activity in homogenates of rat hepatocytes cultured in monolayers for up to 76 h. the assay is based on measurement of the amount of radioactive cholesterol converted into 7 alpha-[14c]-hydroxycholesterol. since no subcellular fractionation was applied to measure enzyme activity, this method is rapid and can be performed with cell protein, corresponding to as little as 1 to 2 million hepatocytes. optimal assay c ...19883407912
polymerization of vertebrate non-muscle and smooth muscle myosins.we investigated how light chain phosphorylation controls the stability of filaments of vertebrate non-muscle myosins (from bovine thymocytes and chicken intestine epithelial brush border cells) and smooth muscle myosin (from chicken gizzard) in vitro. using a sedimentation assay, the solubilities of the myosins were determined by measuring the amounts of myosin monomers (cm) and filaments (cp) present under a given set of conditions as a function of the total myosin concentration (ct). below 200 ...19873430607
effects of endogenous pyrogen and prostaglandin e2 on hypothalamic neurons in rat brain slices.we investigated the effects of endogenous pyrogen and prostaglandin e2 (pge2) on the preoptic and anterior hypothalamic (poah) neurons using brain slice preparations from the rat. partially purified endogenous pyrogen did not change the activities of most of the neurons in the poah region when applied locally through a micropipette attached to the recording electrode in proximity to the neurons. this indicates that partially purified endogenous pyrogen does not act directly on the neuronal activ ...19873497702
