| effect of nitroglycerin on vulnerability to ventricular fibrillation during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. | the effect of nitroglycerin on vulnerability to ventricular fibrillation was examined in 44 chloralose-anesthetized dogs. in 19 animals ventricular fibrillation threshold was measured before and during a 10 minute period of occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by abrupt release of occlusion. fibrillation threshold was determined using the single stimulus and train of stimuli methods. the influence of nitroglycerin on vulnerability was assessed with and without preve ... | 1979 | 104608 |
| activity of bepridil and other anti-anginals on cardiovascular modifications engendered by conditioned anxiety in the dog. | the action of bepridil (5 mg/kg), perhexilene (5 mg/kg) propranolol (0.5 mg/kg), dipyridamole (0.5 mg/kg), amiodarone (10 mg/kg), pentaerythritol tetranitrate (40 microgram/kg) and nitroglycerine (40 microgram/kg) on cardiovascular manifestations of auditory-inducted emotional stress has been investigated in the conscious dog. bepridil, perhexilene and propranolol considerably reduce tachycardia provoked by the anxiogenic stimulus, with nitroglycerin exerting an attenuated effect and the others ... | 1978 | 104675 |
| bronchial mucosal permeability. | the tracheobronchial epithelium has well-developed tight junctions which on a morphologic basis should be markedly resistant to penetration by protein molecules. despite this, antigen inhalation in monkeys allergic to ascaris suum results in the rapid onset of pulmonary physiologic changes. recent studies in man and animals have shown that a substantial number of mast cells exist in the bronchial lumen and epithelium. we suggest that antigen-antibody interaction initially occurs on these superfi ... | 1979 | 104888 |
| passage of immunoglobulins from plasma to the oral cavity in rhesus monkeys. | the passage of immunoglobulin from plasma to the oral cavity was studied in rhesus monkeys. immunoglobulins g, a and m were purified from pooled rhesus monkey serum, radiolabelled with 125i and injected intravenously into twelve monkeys. sequential samples of oral fluids were taken over a 24 h period and were assayed for radioactivity. radioactivity could be detected in crevicular fluid washings after 0.5 h in monkeys injected with igg and iga, and after 2 h in monkeys given igm. maximal levels ... | 1978 | 104924 |

| carbon and nitrogen repression of arginine catabolic enzymes in bacillus subtilis. | specific activities of arginase and ornithine aminotransferase, inducible enzymes of arginine catabolism in bacillus subtilis 168, were examined in cells grown with various carbon and nitrogen sources. levels of these enzymes were similar in arginine-induced cultures whether glucose or citrate was the carbon source (in contrast to histidase), suggesting that carbon source catabolite repression has only limited effect. in media with combinations of nitrogen sources, glutamine strongly repressed i ... | 1979 | 104957 |
| transcription and translation in a pleiotropic streptomycin-resistant mutant of escherichia coli. | the role of the ribosomal protein s12 (streptomycin protein) in ribosome function and in other metabolic processes in the cell has been investigated. a spontaneous streptomycin-resistant strain of escherichia coli (sm3) carrying a mutation in the rpsl gene is deficient in its ability to induce the synthesis of the enzyme bets-galactosidase. it was demonstrated that the reduced rate of enzyme synthesis results from deficiencies in both the transcription of the lactose operon and translation of th ... | 1979 | 104958 |
| isolation of an iron-binding compound from pseudomonas aeruginosa. | an iron-binding compound was isolated from ethyl acetate extracts of culture supernatant fluids of pseudomonas aeruginosa and was purified by successive paper and thin-layer chromatographic procedures. the purified compound was characterized by uv, visible, infrared, and fluorescence spectroscopy. the compound possesses phenolic characteristics, with little or no similarity to dihydroxybenzoates and no indication of a hydroxamate group. p. aeruginosa synthesized the compound during active growth ... | 1979 | 104968 |
| implications for adult roles from differential styles of mother-infant bonding: an ethological study. | ethological observations of maternal and infant behaviors of nine vervet monkey pairs (cercopithecus aethiops sabaeus) showed the effects of differential styles of early maternal responsiveness on later infant competence. those infants receiving the least amount of maternal responsiveness and the most time-off the mother in the first 3 months of development were more socially competent at 6 months of age. the results are discussed within current ethological "attachment" theories. the detachment ... | 1979 | 105083 |
| muscle responses and monosynaptic reflexes in falling monkey. role of the vestibular system. | the free fall has been used in our laboratory as a way to test vestibular function in baboons in order to quantify vestibular compensation in the hemilabyrinthectomized animal. this study presents only those results that concern the contribution of the vestibular system to muscle responses due to sudden fall. emg activity was recorded from the fully conscious animal using chronic electrodes implanted in various muscles. spinal monosynaptic reflexes (hoffmann's and tendon reflexes) were studied i ... | 1978 | 105128 |
