formylation of initiator trna methionine in procaryotic protein synthesis: in vivo polarity in lactose operon expression.eucaryotic and procaryotic organisms differ in two aspects of their translation machinery: polycistronic messengers are expressed as a sequence of individual proteins only in procaryotes, and the initiation of protein synthesis proceeds with an initiator trna which is found to be modified (formylated) in procaryotes and not in eucaryotes. in the present study, we show that formylation is required in vivo for the coordinate expression of the escherichia coli lactose operon. our experiments are co ...197898518
altered mrna metabolism in ribonuclease iii-deficient strains of escherichia coli.the metabolism of mrna from the lactose (lac) operon of escherichia coli has been studied in ribonuclease (rnase) iii-deficient strains (rnc-105). the induction lag for beta-galactosidase from the first gene was twice as long, and enzyme synthesis was reduced 10-fold in one such mutant compared with its isogenic rnc+ sister; in the original mutant strain ab301-105, synthesis of beta-galactosidase was not even detectable, although transduction analysis revealed the presence of a normal lac operon ...197898520

improved safety of splenoportography by plugging of the needle tract.splenoportography, a useful preoperative diagnostic procedure in patients with portal hypertension, has been largely discontinued because of the risk of hemorrhage. we have used both ivalon and gelfoam in particle and plug form to plug the needle tract after splenoportography. initial studies were conducted on six dogs. plugging of the needle tract by injection of suspensions of small gelfoam or ivalon particles resulted in intravasation of these particles into the splenic vein. this was demonst ...197898987
microradiographic demonstration of pyelolymphatic backflow in the porcine kidney.pyelolymphatic backflow occurs when intrapelvic pressure rises acutely. although peripelvic and hilar lymphatics have occasionally been demonstrated during intravenous urography and retrograde pyelography, the patterns of intrarenal microlymphatic filling have not previously been studied radiographically in multipapillary kidneys. microradiography was performed after retrograde ureteral injections of barium sulfate suspension in recently excised pig kidneys. contrast filled the ducts of bellini ...197898998
jaundice and breast-feeding among alaskan eskimo newborns.the course, incidence, and severity of neonatal jaundice was studied in 95 alaskan eskimo infants. breast-fed infants had higher bilirubin concentrations than bottle-fed babies. both groups experienced high bilirubin levels, similar to those previously reported in navajo and oriental infants but greater than those observed in whites and blacks. a marked capacity to inhibit hepatic glucuronyl transferase was observed in breast-milk specimens but only partly accounted for the bilirubin differences ...197899026
interferon inducing activity of polyinosinic acid.although poly(i) is generally considered to be inactive as an interferon inducer, we have found several authentic poly(i) preparations to be effective inducers. their interferon inducing ability varied considerably from one cell system to another. in human diploid fibroblasts, primed with interferon and superinduced by cycloheximide and actinomycin d, all active poly(i) samples proved nearly as effective in inducing interferon as poly(i).poly(c). in primary rabbit kidney cell cultures, the activ ...197899486

spinal cord evaluation by cortical evoked responses.in ten monkeys, selective segmental lesions of the dorsal columns at the upper thoracic and middle cervical levels resulted in almost total attenuation of the cortical evoked potential responses to peripheral nerve stimulation. conversely isolated segmental dorsal column preservation showed intact transmission of the evoked responses at rostral spinal cord, nucleus ventralis posterior lateralis, and cortical levels. responses recorded from the intralaminar thalamic nuclei in the region of nucleu ...1979107931
an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) for detecting chicken anti-reovirus antibody at high sensitivity.an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) with high sensitivity was developed for use in the avian system. anti-reovirus antibody produced in chickens against the isolants s1133, umi-203, reo-25, and winterfield were detected with this method at high titers (up to 1:14,000).1978107949
immunoelectrophoretic studies on human small intestinal brush border proteins. a quantitative study of brush border enzymes from single small intestinal biopsies.a method for measuring brush border membrane enzymes from small intestinal biopsies by crossed immunoelectrophoresis is presented. the use of a brush border specific antiserum made isolation of the brush border membrane before analysis unnecessary. this prevented loss of material which, together with inactivation of enzymes, was a limiting factor in previous studies of brush border enzymes from peroral biopsies. in 58 biopsies from patients without gastrointestinal disorders a close correlation ...1979108036

effects of renal nerves on renal hemodynamics. i. direct stimulation and carotid occlusion.renal nerves were stimulated either directly (loop electrodes) or indirectly (bilateral carotid occlusion with maintenance of control blood pressure) in anesthetized dogs to determine the effects on renal blood flow (rbf), glomerular filtration rate (gfr), sodium excretion (unav), and intrarenal distribution of blood flow (microsphere method). direct nerve stimulation decreased rbf 20% in 9 of 10 dogs; but gfr, unav, and intrarenal distribution of blood flow did not change significantly. carotid ...1975124020
[possible causes determining the developmental rhythm of populations of the nasopharyngeal gadfly of sheep, oestrus ovis l. (diptera, oestridae)].on the basis of observations undertaken in azerbaijan and available literary data the author considers the hypotheses concerning the reasons causing the delay of the ist instar larvae development and determining the age structure changes in population of oestrus ovis l. within a year. the main reasons are as follows: factors depending on the population density at the larval phase, the light day duration within the life cycle of the botfly females.1975124845
behavioral changes following vmh lesions in rats with controlled insulin levels.the effects of ventromedial hypothalamic (vmh) lesions were studied in female rats made diabetic with streptozotocin that were given twice daily injections of protamine zinc insulin (0.75 mu/100g/day) and in non-diabetic animals of the same sex. hyperphagia resulted from vmh lesions in both diabetic animals whose insulin levels were controlled and in non-diabetic animals. all animals with lesions exhibited persistent increases in feeding during the light protion of the light-dark cycle. signific ...1975125424
effect of methysergide, a blocker of serotonin receptors, on plasma prolactin levels in lactating and ovariectomized rats.the effect of methysergide (mes, 2.5 mg/100 g body wt), a serotonin antagonist, on prolactin release has been studied in lactating and ovariectomized rats. mes caused significant increases in prolactin release in both animals. studies in ovariectomized, hypophysectomized rats indicate that this effect is not due to a decrease in the peripheral metabolism of prolactin. in vitro incubations of anterior pituitary fragments with mes failed to demonstrate any increase in prolactin release, suggesting ...1975126860
characterization of 5.8s ribosomal ribonucleic acid in neurospora crassa.neurospora crassa ribosomes contain a species of ribonucleic acid (rna) of molecular weight 54,000, similar to 5.8s ribosomal rna previously described for other eukaryotic organisms. the 5.8s rna from n. crassa was found to be released by heat treatment at 60 c from 25s ribosomal rna but not from 18s ribosomal rna. the base composition of n. crassa 5.8s rna was similar to that of 5.8s rna from saccharomyces cerevisiae, but differed from animal 5.8s rna. during the course of this study, it was di ...1975126993
the hurler syndrome: treatment of cultured hurler fibroblasts with normal human serum.prolonged replacement of fetal calf serum by normal human serum for the enrichment of medium during tissue culture of hurler fibroblasts resulted in increased acid mucopolysaccharides in the cells and in the medium. the predominant intracellular mucopolysaccharide had the characteristics of dermatan sulfate when hurler cells were treated with either serum. normal human serum contains a nonspecific coreective factor capable of augmenting the loss of 35so4-amps from hurler cells, but not from norm ...1975127180

degenerative alterations in the ventral cochlear nucleus of the guinea pig after impulse noise exposure. a preliminary light and electron microscopic study.guinea pigs were exposed to the noise of 40 shots of an alarm pistol held at a distance of about 60 cm. the ventral cochlear nuclei were studied in phase contrast and electron microscopy after both survival periods and longer periods of up to 55 days survival. marked degeneration of primary cochlear nerve endings and of synapting secondary neurons of the posterior caudal part of the ventral cochlear nucleus (avcn) and the octupus cell area (oca) of the posterior ventral cochlear nucleus (pvcn) w ...1975175774
a radiometric method for predicting effectiveness of chemotherapeutic agents in murine leprosy.a simple radiometric method has been developed for evaluating the effect of drugs on the metabolism of m. lepraemurium. the method is based on the measurement of the 14co2 produced through bacterial metabolism of acetate-u-14c. seventeen drugs were tested: bacitracin, cephaloridine, chloramphenicol, cycloserine, dactinomycin, dds, ethionamide, inh, kanamycin, methenamine mandelate, nitrofurantoin, oxacillin, polymyxin b, rifampicin, streptomycin, sulfadimethoxine and vancomycin. the drugs which ...1975176120
[obtaining the beta-globulin fractions from swine and cattle sera and a study of their immunological activity].the rivanol precipitation was used to obtain beta-globulin fractions from specific swine sera against edema disease, paratyph and aujeszky's disease as well as from normal ovine and swine sera. agar electrophoresis revealed that the preparations produced contained beta-globulin (86 per cent), gamma-globulin (5 per cent), and alpha2-globulin (9 per cent). the beta-globulin preparations were studied for the presence of antibodies against e. coli, salmonellae, staphylococci, myxovirus parainfluenza ...1976176771
the oncogenic potential of some avian adenoviruses causing diseases in chickens.the oncogenic potentials of three different strains of avian adenoviruses (the tipton strain of the inclusion body hepatitis virus, the dpi-2, and the indiana c viruses) were investigated in newborn hamsters. animal inoculations were via two routes, subcutaneous and intracerebral. all three viruses proved nononcogenic for the hamsters observed over a period of 225 days. however, lesions of hepatitis similar to those of inclusion body hepatitis of chickens were seen in three hamsters inoculated w ...1976176986
regulation of mitochondrial protein turnover by thyroid hormone(s).1. the effect of thyroidectomy on turnover rates of liver, kidney and brain mitochondrial proteins was examined. 2. in the euthyroid state, liver and kidney mitochondria show a synchronous turnover with all protein components showing more or less identical half-lives compared with the whole mitochondria. the brain mitochondrial proteins show asynchronous turnover, the soluble proteins having shorter half-lives. 3. mitochondrial dna (m-dna) of liver and kidney has half-lives comparable with that ...1975177002
[epidemiology of human and animal brucellosis in western africa. the results of six studies in the ivory coast, upper volta, and nigeria].brucellosis has a two-fold importance in public health: the transmission of the disease to man by contact with animals or ingestion of raw milk is of direct importance; of indirect importance is the loss of animal protein. the authors have carried out ten epidemiological investigations in different bio-climatic zones of west africa. more than 120 villages were evaluated. in each village, 100 persons were chosen at random and all or part of the animal population was also studied. three tests were ...1976177324
evaluation of the antilipolytic action of clomiphene in vitro.clomiphene (10(-3) - 10(-2) m) in a dose-dependent manner inhibited the lypolytic response of isolated rat epididymal adipose tissue and fat cells to epinephrine, acth, and dibutyryl-cyclic amp. furthermore, it reduced the non-hormonally stimulated activity of a crude preparation of lipase from epididymal adipose tissue. the accumulation of cyclic amp produced by epinephrine in fat cells was not prevented by clomiphene at a concentration causing antilipolytic activity. it is concluded from these ...1976177345
pregnancy interrupting effects of some bacterial toxins.embryotoxic properties of shigella dysenteriae and clostridium perfringens toxins, of e. coli endotoxin, v. cholerase and e. coli enterotoxins were compared in mice. e. coli endotoxin has embryotoxic effects at all stages of pregnancy. e. coli enterotoxin v. cholerae enterotoxin and shigella dysenteriae toxin are most effective mainly at earlier stages of pregnancy. clostridium perfringens toxin has no embryotoxic effect.1976178014
activation of intestinal mucosal adenylate cyclase by shigella dysenteriae i enterotoxin.because the mechanism whereby shigella dysenteriae i enterotoxin induces intestinal secretion is unclear, the effect of this toxin on adenylate cyclase activity in rabbit ileal mucosa was studied under various in vitro and in vivo conditions. activation of adenylate cyclase by shigella enterotoxin was observed only when substrate (atp) concentrations above the km of adenylate cyclase were employed. these concentrations of atp are greater than those required to demonstrate activation of adenylate ...1976178569
mechanism of plasma cyclic amp response to hypoglycemia in man.the effect of insulin-induced hypoglycemia on plasma cyclic amp levels was studied in normal volunteers, adrenalectomized, and sympathectomized subjects. significant increases in plasma glucagon were observed in all groups. normal subjects all had two- to threefold rises in plasma camp while no response was seen in any adrenalectomized or sympathectomized subject. these findings suggest that the mechanism for enhanced plasma camp release during insulin-induced hypoglycemia is catecholamine depen ...1976178982

monkeypox and whitepox viruses in west and central africa.prospects for the eradication of smallpox are now highly encouraging. with the cessation of man-to-man transmission, the question of possible animal reservoirs of smallpox becomes increasingly important. during the period 1970-1975, 20 cases of a smallpox-like disease were detected in smallpox-free areas of tropical rain forest in west and central africa. epidemiological and virological investigations revealed that the disease was caused by an animal poxvirus termed monkeypox virus, a member of ...1976186209
