disposition of flunisolide in the rat, mouse, dog, rhesus monkey, and cynomolgus monkey.flunisolide (6 alpha-fluoro-11 beta, 16 alpha, 17 alpha, 21-tetrahydroxypregna-1,4-diene-3,20-dione 16,17-acetonide) administered as a single iv or oral dose to rats, mice, dogs, rhesus monkeys, and cynomolgus monkeys had a plasma t 1/2 of 1-3.5 hr and was eliminated mainly via the bile. after iv administration of 14c-labeled flunisolide, radioactivity was widely distributed into tissues and organs. the apparent volume of distribution of flunisolide in these five species was 3.0-8.0 liters/kg. a ...197938078
meyenburg complexes of the liver and bile cysts as a consequence of hepatic ischemia.meyenburg complexes and simple bile cysts are described in a patient having polyarteritis nodosa with involvement of the intrahepatic arterial tree. similar lesions are found in the liver of monkeys subjected to experimental occlusion of the peripheral hepatic arterial tree. it is proposed that a pathogenetic mechanism conducive to the formation of meyenburg complexes may be hepatic ischemia.197938201
the effect of histamine-1 and histamine-2 antagonists on airway responses to histamine in the rhesus monkey.this study used rhesus monkeys with consistent respiratory responses to aerosolized histamine. two systems of histamine challenge were evolved to study the effects of histamine antagonists on the histamine-induced respiratory response. one system consisted of administering increasing subreactive concentrations of histamine until an airway response (h) occurred. this threshold histamine dose was repeated (h'). the pulmonary function changes occurring with the h' challenge were less intense than t ...197938270
fucntional specialization and binocular interaction in the visual areas of rhesus monkey prestriate cortex.if is is believed that neural mechanisms mediating stereoscopic vision may be localized in specific areas of the visual cortex, then it becomes necessary to be able to define these areas adequately. this is no easy matter in the rhesus monkey, an animal close to man, where the cytoarchitecturally uniform prestriate cortex is folded into deep sulci with secondary gyri. one way around this awkward problem is to use the callosal connections of the prestriate cortex as the anatomical landmarks. call ...197938453
brain damage and global stereopsis.when a single object lies in front of or beyond the plane of fixation its retinal image lies on disparate positions in the two eyes. this 'local' retinal disparity is an excellent cue to depth, and retinal disparties of a few seconds of arc are detectable by people and monkeys. however, most visual scenes produce a complex array of contours in each eye and we can detect the disparity in the arrays despite the ambiguous nature of the disparities, i.e. each contour in one eye could be related to a ...197938454
depth sensitivity of binocular cortical neurons of behaving monkeys.activity of neurons if foveal striate and prestriate cortex of trained rhesus monkeys was recorded with metal microelectrodes. while animals fixated a small spot at a given fixation distance (38 or 57 cm), bright or dark bars moving across a frontoparallel plane were presented at different depths in a range of +/- 10 cm about the fixation distance. almost all cells showed binocular interaction. neurons with balanced ocularity (approximately equal monocular responses) usually facilitated each oth ...197938455
breathing movements before death in the primate fetus (macaca mulatta).the incidence and character of fetal breathing movements (fbms) were determined by analysis of continuous tracheal pressure recordings in a 48 hour period preceeding fetal death in utero in 7 chronic pregnant monkey preparations (macaca mulatta). all fetuses were judged normal by blood gas tensions, ph, and fetal heart rate within 48 hours of death. in the normal fetus breathing movements were periodic and a circadian distribution in the incidence of fbms was observed. four distinct patterns of ...197938667
mechanical properties and functions of the myoepithelium in the eccrine sweat gland.contractile properties of an isolated segment of the secretory coil of the monkey palm eccrine sweat gland were studied in vitro with a transducer. contraction of up to 10 mgf was induced with acetylcholine but not with alpha or beta adrenergic agonists, caffeine, prostaglandin e1, or by a calcium ionophore a23187. other features included k+ contracture, staircase effect, poor extensibility, length-tension relationship with a peak tensile response at 115--120% of the resting length, and requirem ...197938671
intracellular redox states under halothane and barbiturate anesthesia in normal, ischemic, and anoxic monkey brain.cortical reflectance, mean arterial blood pressuees, electroencephalograms, and cortical blood flow were continuously recorded together with fluorescence of reduced pyridine nucleotides (pn) at various carbon dioxide tensions before, during, and following middle cerebral artery occlusion in 10 squirrel monkeys receiving halothane or babiturate anesthesia. measurements were continued through a nitrogen breathing cycle and to death produced by anoxia. the anesthetic agent produced no detectable di ...197938737
stereochemistry of viminol, a novel central analgesic.the synthesis of the stereoisomers of the centrally acting analgesic 1-[1-(2-chlorobenzyl)-pyrrol-2-yl]-2-di-sec.-butylamino-ethanol (viminol) is described. their absolute configuration has been shown by comparing the circular dichroism (cd) curves with those of some phenyl analogs: for one of the viminol stereoisomers the postulated configurational assignment has been recently confirmed by an x-ray analysis. the pharmacological properties shared by the viminol stereoisomers are also described. ...197838816
a monitoring test for the liability of neuroleptic drugs to induce tardive dyskinesia.two cebus apella monkeys with haloperidol-induced tardive dyskinesia have been studied. substitution of chlorpromazine, thioridazine, clozapine, melperone, or fluphenazine for the daily haloperidol administration temporarily reduced the signs of tardive dyskinesia. in a monkey with low-grade symptoms, persisting for more than 100 days after withdrawal of haloperidol, neuroleptic drugs induced a typical sequence of events: first the dyskinetic movements were abolished, but 1--3 days after adminis ...197939307
anaphylaxis in the monkey: respiratory mechanics, acid-base status and blood gases.aggregate anaphylaxis was induced by intravenous injection of the specific antigen in eight ovalbumin-sensitized monkeys. changes in respiratory mechanics, acid-base status and blood gases were studied during the following half hour. within 1 minute after challenge, a short period of respiratory depression, probably reflex-mediated, was observed. this was followed by hyperventilation, and arterial pco2 decreased. there was a rapid increase in pulmonary resistance (rpulm) and a concomitant decrea ...197939417
cardiovascular profile of 2-(3,4-diethyoxy-beta-methoxyphenethyl) imino-1-methylpyrrolidine fumarate (mcn-2840-46), a preferential atrial anti-arrhythmic agent.mcn-2840-46, 2.5 mg/kg, i.v., protected against atrial tachyarrhythmias induced by three different methods in dogs and monkeys. the compound was inactive against ventricular arrhythmias produced by ouabain and by chloroform-epinephrine interaction at a four-fold higher dose. significant reversal of ventricular arrhythmias produced by occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery in dogs was achieved by infusion of 8.8 +/- 2.4 mg/kg, i.v. of mcn-2840-46. myocardial electrogram studies ...197939528
[clinical and immunological studies on acquired heat contact urticaria (author's transl)].a case of localized urticaria in an otherwise healthy young woman, produced only by direct contact of the skin with heat, is described. the minimal temperature of urtication was 44 degrees c (immersion of the forearm in hot water for 5 min). redness and painful oedema immediately developed without reflex flare. total serum igg, iga, igm, ige, complement factors c3 and c4, and alpha1-antitrypsin were in the normal range, whereas the c1-inhibitor level was slightly decreased. there was no evidence ...197939803
some properties of brain specific benzodiazepine receptors: new evidence for multiple receptors.several new lines of evidence suggest the existence of two or more distinct types of benzodiazepine receptors, in contrast to earlier results suggesting the presence of only one class of receptors. appropriate thermoinactivation experiments indicate two receptors with different thermostabilities. several triazolopyridazines, with some of the pharmacological properties of anxiolytics have recently been shown to displace 3h-diazepam and 3h-flunitrazepam with ki values in the 6 to 100 nanomolar ran ...197940257
metabolism of 8-chloro-6-(o-chlorophenyl)-1-methyl-4h-s-triazolo [4,3-alpha] [1,4] benzodiazepine, triazolam, a new central depressant. i. absorption, distribution and excretion in rats, dogs and monkeys.1. peak radioactivity in the blood was reached at 30 min after i.p. and 1 h after oral dosing of [14c]triazolam to rats. in dogs, peak blood level was observed at 30 min after oral dosing. 2. daily dosing of triazolam to male rats for 21 days caused a gradual increase in blood level, with peak at 1 h after dosing. 3. the rate of binding of triazolam plus its metabolites to plasma protein of rats was about 30% at 15 min and 6 h. 4. in rats, the majority of the activity of the intra-intestinally a ...197940350
effect of indomethacin on prostaglandin and steroid synthesis by the marmoset ovary in vivo.indomethacin decreased prostaglandin f 2 alpha levels in the ovaries of marmoset monkeys which were treated with pms/hcg. the production of estradiol and progesterone, however, was unaffected by the blockade in prostaglandin synthesis. the number of ovulations following pms/hcg treatment was significantly reduced by indomethacin treatment. these observations suggest that prostaglandins are required for follicular rupture but not for progesterone and estradiol production by the ovary.197940910
effect of macular ablation on vertical optokinetic nystagmus in the squirrel monkey.after macular ablation in squirrel monkeys, a significant improvement of the slow-phase eye speed of vertical optokinetic nystagmus (vokn) was found. this findings is in contrast to the result of our previous study in which horizontal optokinetic nystagmus (hokn) was not improved following macular ablation. the different influence of macular ablation on hokn and vokn could be due to the directional characteristics of vestibular and visual interaction relative to the direction of gravity and to t ...197941202
the effect of oral pancreatic extract on jejunal bactericidal activity in protein-deficient vervet monkeys challenged with vibrio cholerae.eleven vervet monkeys (cercopithecus aethiops) were fed with an "o" protein diet. after the serum albumin level fell below 2.5 g/100 ml the animals and 4 controls, which received regular monkey chow, were orally infected with a monkey-adapted strain of vibrio cholerae. the total bactericidal activity of the jejunal fluid decreased during feeding with "o" protein diet, but increased after challenge with v. cholerae in all groups. the non-immunoglobulin-bound bactericidal activity, which also decr ...197941422
jos virus infection in domestic animals and primates. pathogenicity and immunological studies.three species of domestic animals (rabbits, sheep and goats) and two species of primates erythrocebus patas monkeys and baboon (papio anubis) were infected with jos virus. none of the infected animals developed viraemia or overt clinical disease. complement-fixing and neutralising antibodies were demonstrated in sera of infected animals.197941441
pharmacokinetics of closely related benzodiazepines.1 it is commonplace for drugs to vary by only minor chemical differences. this is particularly so for those seven benzodiazepines discussed in this paper which are related both as precursors and as metabolites. however, minor chemical differences may cause major differences in physicochemical and pharmacodynamic properties. 2 although the physicochemical differences are difficult to relate to effect, the influence of structure on absorption, distribution and elimination is of considerable import ...197941538
morphological characterisitcs of the pathological process in the central nervous system of monkeys infected with variants of measles virus strain l-16.the neurovirulence of l-16 vaccine measles virus strains and its 9 clonal variants was investigated in intracerebrally infected macaca mulatta monkeys. two groups of clones were distinguished: one comprised variants that caused destructive changes of neurons in the brain and diffuse proliferative gliosis, and the second variants that caused changes of a transitory character, connected with the traumatic exposure.197942298
international forum update: depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and endometrial carcinoma.in response to a recent report (fam plann perspect 11: 47, 1979) that two of 12 rhesus monkeys given 50 times the human dose of depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (dmpa), by body weight, for ten years had developed endometrial carcinoma (ca), a retrospective survey of all hospital admissions for proven endometrial ca in two thai provinces where dmpa contraceptive injections have been widely used since 1965 was made. from 1974 through 1978, 16 women were hospitalized with confirmed diagnoses of en ...197942591
a neutral proteinase of monkey liver microsomes. solubilization, partial purification, and properties.conditions for the solubilization of membrane-bound neutral proteinase associated with monkey liver microsomes were investigated. among the reagents tested, deoxycholate, cholate, and some nonionic detergents, including triton x-100, with hydrophilic-lipophilic balance values of around 13, were effective. the solubilization profile indicated that the enzyme is bound to the microsomal membranes by strong hydrophobic interaction. the enzyme was partially purified from monkey liver microsomal fract ...197942645
oncofoetal antigens of human trophoblast.rabbits immunized with human trophoblast cell membranes produced antibodies that were detected, by immunofluorescence, to react with normal human tissues, and, by complement-mediated cytotoxicity, with several transformed human cell lines. absorption with trophoblast abolished all of these reactions, whereas multiple absorptions with lymphocytes, liver or kidney failed to remove reactivity with either trophoblast or certain transformed cells. to further identify the antigens responsible for thes ...197942921
comparative bioavailability and pharmacokinetic studies of azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine in the rhesus monkey.azathioprine (aza) is cleaved in vivo by glutathione to 6-mercpatopurine (6-mp). 6-mp plasma levels were measured by hplc in four male rhesus monkeys following oral and iv doses of the two drugs. following iv 6-mp administration, 6-mp levels were described by a two-compartment body model; mean terminal half-life; plasma clearance (clp), and volume of distribution (vdss) were 41.6 +/- 12.1 min, 48.4 +/- 15.4 ml/min/kg, and 1.76 +/- 0.64 liters/kg, respectively. 8-hydroxymercpatopurine (8-ohmp) wa ...197943222

comparative studies on dihydrofolate reductases from plasmodium falciparum and aotus trivirgatus.dihydrofolate reductase (e.c. 1.5.1.3) from plasmodium falciparum and from its host, the owl monkey (aotus trivirgatus), were partially purified and characterized. the molecular weight of the parasite enzyme was estimated to be over 10 times as high as that of the host enzyme. the host enzyme had 2 ph optima whereas the parasite enzyme only one. the activity of the host enzyme was greatly stimulated by kcl and urea, while that of the parasite enzyme was inhibited at high concentrations of such c ...197944526
interactions of pharmacological agents which alter biogenic amine metabolism and depression--an analysis of contributing factors within a primate model of depression.the observation that the biogenic amine depleting agent, reserpine, could induce severe depression in a small proportion of the patients treated with it has proved to be seminal finding in what is now a much larger field of research relating the function brain biogenic amine systems to emotions and behavior. a review of the human reserpine literature suggests, however, that factors other than pharmacologically produced alterations in brain biogenic amine metabolism must have been critical determ ...197945183
glutamine synthetase in kidneys of monkey and man.1. the synthesis of gamma-glutamylhydroxamate from glutamate and hydroxylamine has been utilized as an approximation of glutamine synthetase activity in kidneys of rabbit, rat, dog, monkey and man. 2. kidneys of rabbit contain glutamine synthetase in high activity; those of rat, in intermediate activity; and those of dog, monkey and man, in negligible activity. 3. no more enzyme is present in kidneys of the latter two species than in those of the dog, in which the enzyme is generally considered ...197845541
composition of glycoproteins secreted by tracheal explants from various animal species.1. the acidic and neutral glycoproteins secreted by cultured tracheal explants from pigs, sheep, rats, mice, monkeys, guinea pigs, dogs and chickens were purified and fractionated by column chromatography on deae-cellulose and by electrophoresis on cellulose acetate. 2. the ratios of acidic to neutral mucus glycoproteins were compared for the above animals with that of mucus glycoproteins secreted by cultured human bronchi. 3. the observed ratios of acidic to neutral glycoproteins ranged from 4. ...197945551
azidomorphines: a new family of potent analgesics with low dependence capacity.1. structure-activity relationship studies with new semi-synthetic isomorphine derivatives revealed that substitution of an azido group in position 6 (azidomorphines) greatly increases the analgesic potency whereas tolerance and dependence liability tend to decrease. 2. azidomorphine (6-deoxy-6-azidodihydroisomorphine) and 14-hydroxyazidomorphine (6-deoxy-6-azidodihydro-14-hydroxyisomorphine) being in animal tests 40-300 times more potent than morphine, are the most effective analgesics among th ...197945567
localization of immunoreactive androgen in testicular tissue.immunohistochemical localization of androgen in the testes of both rat and squirrel monkey has been performed using an antiserum specific to testosterone and certain related androgens. the bound antibodies were visualized by coupling with antigammaglobulin labeled either with fluorescein isothiocyanate or with a horseradish peroxidase-diaminobenzidine technique. the highest concentration of androgen was found in the interstitial tissue but a significant amount was also present in the seminiferou ...197545910
intraepithelial lymphocytes in the male reproductive tract of rats and rhesus monkeys.although lymphocytes are never present in 'normal ' seminiferous epithelium, they are found in the terminal portions of the seminiferous tubles near their junctions with the tubuli recti. intraepithelia lymphocytes are also found in the tubuli recti testis, ductuli efferentes, epididymis and ductus deferens. the ultrastructural morphology of these cells closely resembles that of the intraepithelial lymphocytes in the intestinal mucosa and those obtained from the lymph nodes, spleen blood and tho ...197545940
cortico-striatal evoked potentials in the monkey (macaca mulatta).a systematic study has been made of topographic organization in the striatum of evoked potentials elicited by stimulation of the cerebral cortex in unanesthetized, comatose monkeys (macaca mulatta). stimulation of the dorsal field of the prefrontal convexity elicited potentials primarily in rostral portions of the caudate, while stimulation of the ventral field of the prefrontal convexity elicited potentials in ventromedial areas of the putamen. stimulation of different points on the precentral ...197545942
type c rna tumor virus isolated from cultured human acute myelogenous leukemia cells.previously, type c rna tumor virus-related components have been described in blood leukocytes from patients with acute myelogenous leukemia. these components, for example, reverse transcriptase, have been shown to be most closely related to those from two oncogenic subhuman primate type c viruses (woolly monkey sarcoma virus and gibbon ape leukemia virus). now, we report the continuous production of budding type c viruses with the same characteristic reverse transcriptase by three separate cultu ...197546123
slow axonal protein transport and visual function following retinal and optic nerve ischemia.retinal ganglion cell protein synthesis and slow axonal protein flow have been measured in eight optic nerves from four macacus rhesus monkeys after producing ganglion cell ischemia. comparison of the slow axonal protein flowing into the two optic nerves of the same control animal reveals a variability of up to 27 per cent. following central retinal artery ligation, infarction of the retinal ganglion cells was reflected by a 97 per cent reduction in the radioactively labeled protein within the o ...197546218
serological analysis of human deoxyribonucleic acid polymerases. preparation and properties of antiserum to deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase i from human lymphoid cells.the preparation and properties of an antiserum to human dna polymerase i (6 to 8 s) are described. care was taken in the purification of the antigen to remove certain other dna polymerases found in human cells. an incubation of antigen and antiserum lasting about 48 hours is necessary to achieve maximal inhibition. about 1 mug of the antipolymerase immunoglobulin g, prepared in rats, neutralizes 60% of the activity present in 54 ng of the enzyme. tritrations varying both antiserum and enzyme dem ...197546229
allergic encephalomyelitis. isolation of an encephalitogenic peptide active in the monkey.a 17-residue peptide (peptide y) was isolated from the cooh-terminal end of the basic protein of bovine myelin by peptic digestion. this peptide induced experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in the rhesus monkey. treatment of peptide y with cyanogen bromide released three amino acids from the cooh-terminal end and resulted in a tetradecapeptide (peptide m) which was also encephalitogenic in the rhesus monkey. the sequence of peptide m is: phe-lys-leu-gly-gly-arg-asp-ser-arg-ser-gly-ser-pro-met ...197546230
the antigenicity of myelin encephalitogenic protein: production of antibodies to encephalitogenic protein with deoxyribonucleic acid--encephalitogenic protein complexes.rabbits immunized with monkey encephalitogenic protein (ep) complexed to deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) formed complement-fixing antibodies that reacted well with ep from monkey, bovine, and human brain and the large ep of rat brain. reactivity with the small ep of rat brain was much less. the antibodies, analyzed by the quantitative micro-complement fixation test, were of the 7s class, were produced in high titer, and failed to react with histone, lysozyme, or acidic liver extracts. immunohistoche ...197546251
antigenic characterization of type c rna virus isolates of gibbon apes.type c rna viruses initially isolated from a lymphosarcoma of a gibbon ape and from a fibrosarcoma of a woolly monkey are very closely related immunologically. however, recent studies have shown that these viruses are distinguishable in a radioimmunoassay for the 12,000-molecular-weight polypeptide (p12) of the woolly monkey virus. in the present report, an immunoassay has been developed for the p12 polypeptide of the gibbon ape type c virus. this assay is shown to further distinguish the woolly ...197546280
microanalytical system for determination of picogram quantities of metals in metalloenzymes, as illustrated with zinc-containing enzymes.microwave-induced emission spectrometry combined with gel-exclusion chromatography provides a microanalytical system capable of precisely measuring 10 minus 10 to 10 minus 13 g of metal in microgram amounts of enzyme. such sensitivity greatly exceeds that of other, more conventional methods. metal quenching agents and low-molecular-weight protein contaminants were removed from the enzyme by sephadex g-100 chromatography in microbore columns (0.03 times 25 cm). droplet fractions were analyzed ...197546797
time course of development of supersensitivity to topical acetylcholine in partially isolated cortex.in alert monkeys the time course for development of supersensitivity to topical acetylcholine in partially isolated frontal cerebral cortex was determined. thresholds for paroxysmal discharge fell progressively and markedly during 3 weeks, further in 5 and somewhat more after 6 months. ach supersensitivity was demonstrated in chronic "isolated" occipital cortex. epileptiform discharges were recorded selectively from chronic partially isolated frontal cortex on peripheral nerve stimulation and th ...197546800
cholinergic mechanisms involved in cortical activation during arousal.spontaneous and evoked cortical electrical activity of the post-central gyrus was studied in 5 unparalyzed, unanesthetized monkeys during slow-wave sleep (sws) and wakefulness (w), before and after the administration of a muscarinic anticholinergic agents, hyoscine. it was found that hyoscine reproduces the effect of sws: (1) on spontaneous eeg activity and single unit discharges of the somatosensory cortes without any concomitant behavioral sleep; and (2) on surface evoked potentials and reacti ...197546804
cortical seizures following cerebellar stimulation in primates.the effects of cerebellar stimulation were studied in monkeys with chronic alumina-cream epileptogenic foci in motor cortex. low-frequency stimulation (5-15 c/sec) was ineffective in altering spontaneous cortical spiking. clinical and electrographic seizures were elicited following high-frequency cerebellar stimulation (100 c/sec). this was a consistent finding following cerebellar stimulation, although no spontaneous seizures had been seen in these animals. these studies suggest the existence o ...197546822
effects of repeated oral doses of demethylchlortetracycline on bones and dentin of young rhesus monkeys.seven oral doses of demethylchlortetracycline were administered to monkeys that received serial injections of lead acetate to intravitally stain calcification sites. bone growth was greatly inhibited, whereas dentin apposition was spared from the cumulative toxicity of demethylchlortetracycline. cessation of bone growth and its duration could be correlated with serum levels.197546870
