| the pathophysiology of asthma. | because postmortem studies of humans provide little information on the initial pathophysiologic events in asthma, animal models have been developed. recently the ascaris-allergic rhesus monkey has provided an opportunity to examine the onset of pathophysiologic changes following challenge and to correlate them with airway structure. these studies have suggested that the initial interaction between antigen and mast cells may occur in the bronchial lumen or in the epithelium superficial to the tig ... | 1979 | 89006 |

| antigenic analysis of human heart tissue--characterization of cardiac antigens. | the human heart antigens demonstrated in citric acid extracts by immunodiffusion were submitted to further analysis. heart antigens were precipitated at 30% to 70% saturated ammonium sulphate. these fractions contained antigens reactive with rabbit antisera to human heart. the third fraction out of four proteins which were separated by sephadex g-150 gel filtration, was reactive against rabbit antisera to human heart. the intensely stained proteins of both heart antigens were located at the nine ... | 1979 | 89208 |
| [change in the thresholds of development of ventricular arrhythmias after stimulation of negative emotiogenic hypothalamic centers]. | the dynamics of changes in the thresholds of the origin of ventricular extrasystole, paroxysmal ventricular tachysystole and ventricular fibrillation in long-term stimulation of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus were studied in experiments on rabbits. it was found that myocardial resistance to the development of arrhythmias depended on the manifestation of the sympathetico-parasympathic interaction on the heart. in predominance of parasympathetic effects on the heart during hypothalamic stim ... | 1979 | 89222 |

| cimetidine: interaction with oral anticoagulants in man. | in 6 patients anticoagulated with warfarin, nicoumalone, or phenindione the addition of cimetidine prolonged the prothrombin-time (pt) by a mean of 12.6 s (range 5--23 s). in 7 volunteers taking daily subtherapeutic doses of warfarin the addition of cimetidine increased the pt from 19.4 to 22.9 s and the plasma-warfarin concentration from 0.96 to 1.76 microgram/ml. cimetidine reduced the single-dose clearance of warfarin and antipyrine. the basis of the interaction between cimetidine and oral an ... | 1979 | 89387 |
| carcinomas of the liver in rats ingesting kepone. | young male and female albino rats ingested 0, 1, 5, 10 or 25 ppm kepone, an organochlorine pesticide, in the diet for two years. carcinomas of the liver, as well as hyperplastic nodules and moderate and severe diffuse hyperplasia were observed in kepone-treated rats. such hepatic lesions were not seen in control rats. female rats ingesting kepone were more susceptible than male rats to hepatic carcinogenesis. rats ingesting 50 or 80 ppm kepone developed severe diffuse hepatic hyperplasia and did ... | 1979 | 89631 |

| capillary permeability to interstitial microinjections of macromolecules and influence of capillary hydrostatic pressure on endothelial ultrastructure. | the transcapillary flux of horseradish peroxidase (hrp, mol. diam. 50--60 a) and ferritin (mol. diam. 110--120 a), microinjected interstitially into the biceps femoris muscle of rats, was analyzed in the electron microscope. from 1 min postinjection hrp was observed to occupy endothelial plasmalemmal vesicles in all positions to be expected if a vesicular transendothelial transport of material occurs in the interstitium-to-lumen direction. permeation of hrp through the intercellular clefts of th ... | 1979 | 89786 |
| ultrastructure of rat renal tubular basement membrane--meshwork structure demonstration by negative staining. | the tubular basement membrane (tbm) (i.e. tubular basal lamina) of rat kidney was shown to be a fine meshwork by electron microscopy after negative staining. strands of the meshwork formed a regular three dimensional lattice work. the pores of the meshwork were polygonal. there were two main pore sizes: one approximately 30 a in diameter, the other 42--60 a. in view of our previous observation that glomerular and alveolar basement membranes were made up fine meshwork, it is quite possible that t ... | 1979 | 89787 |
| observations concerning the staining properties of the macroconidia of certain dermatophyton species. | staining of the macroconidia of several dermatophyton species by lactophenol-cotton blue was investigated. young macroconidia stain variably; their cytoplasm may appear homogeneous or inhomogeneous. the possible explanation seems to be variation in the composition of the cytoplasm. in some macroconidia dark-staining filament was seen along the longitudinal axis. mature macroconidia showed basal or basal+apical homogeneous deep staining. the intensive apical staining suggests that the apical stru ... | 1978 | 89788 |

| [alterations in pharmacokinetics during toxicity tests (author's transl)]. | some possible reasons are discussed which may lead to changes in the pharmacokinetics of a drug during long-term toxicity tests. since most of these alterations have toxicological consequences, their evaluation can be helpful in the interpretation of toxicity studies. furthermore, and altered pharmacokinetic profile may be a diagnostic tool for the detection of organ damage (e.g., eliminatory organs). in this paper three examples of the "radioactive test dose method" are shown. this method allow ... | 1978 | 89849 |
| alpha-fetoprotein as a carrier protein in plasma and its bilirubin-binding ability. | the bilirubin-binding ability of human alpha-fetoproteins, which were purified from fetal cord serum and from ascites fluid of a hepatoma-bearing patient, was examined by the difference spectrum and the jacobsen peroxidase methods. the difference spectrum observed as a result of the specific binding of bilirubin to alpha-fetoprotein had a maximum at 482 nm, and this pattern was quite similar to that observed for serum albumin. the result obtained by the difference spectrum method showed that 1 m ... | 1979 | 89900 |
| coupling between neuronal activity and focal blood flow in experimental seizures. | local blood flow, ecog and single cortical neurone activity were recorded simultaneously from single microelectrodes in 17 cats. seizures were induced by repeated intravenous injections of pentylenetetrazol (ptz, 10-20 mg/kg) or by local application of 1 m na-penicillin. seven to 20 sec after appearance of burst activity in cortical neurones and ecog, focal flow increased up to 300% of control. the extent of this flow increase was significantly correlated with the change in firing rate of the ne ... | 1979 | 89943 |
