| 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 |
| a four-year survey of african swine fever in malawi. | a serological survey of free-ranging domestic pigs in the central and southern regions of malawi, together with laboratory data on confirmed cases of african swine fever (asf) and data from interviews with pig owners, undertaken over a four-year period from 1981-4, has enabled the asf enzootic area of malawi to be identified. the area covers much of the western part of the central region and includes mchinji district and parts of kasungu, ntchisi, dowa and lilongwe districts. mortality is substa ... | 1985 | 4067292 |
| [effect of sodium selenite on the course of acute experimental myocardial infarct]. | the effect of sodium selenite on experimental myocardial infarction was investigated in 47 domestic pigs, with a major emphasis on the hemodynamic antiarrhythmic effects of selenium. intravenous sodium selenite administered in a dose of 1-2 mg/kg body weight produced a favorable pharmacologic effect. the hemodynamic action consisted in an increase of heart rate, and the maximum aortic flow rate, cardiac output, minute volume of the heart and coronary flow, as well as a decrease in total peripher ... | 1985 | 4079230 |
