[influence of substances that change the serotonin level of the brain on the analgesic effect of promedol in rats].in tests with determination of pain reaction in rats registered by their squeak and arising in reponse to a single electric irritation of the tail evidence was obtained to the effect that substances both lowering the serotonin content in the brain (p-chlorphenylalanine, reserpine) and raising it (5-oxytryptophan, pargilin) cause a fall of the threshold, viz. 5-oxytryptophan and pargilin display antagonism to the analgetic effect of trimeperidine hydrochloride, whereas p-chlorphenylalanine, and i ...19761082823
hapten specific ige antibody responses in mice. v. differential resistance of ige and igg b lymphocytes to x-irradiation.the studies presented in this paper were undertaken to determine whether ige- and igg-producing murine b lymphocytes could be distinguished by differential resistance to x-irradiation in vivo. sensitivity or resistance of b lymphocytes to various doses of x-irradiation was monitored by measuring the production by irradiated cells of hapten-specific igg and ige antibody. the results indicate that both primed and unprimed igg b lymphocytes are less radioresistant than corresponding ige b lymphocyt ...19761087320
nystagmic modulation of neuronal activity in rabbit cerebellar flocculus.1. the responses of neuronal elements in the flocculus of the awake, restrained rabbit were recorded during horizontal vestibular nystagmus in the dark. 2. purkinje cells showed both vestibular (types i and ii) and eye movement modulation of simple spike activity. type i purkinje cells most commonly were inhibited in association with the ipsilaterally directed fast phase of nystagmus and excited during contralaterally directed fast phases. type ii purkinje cells had a similar modulation but in t ...19761087403

yersinia enterocolitica : a review of its role in food hygiene.since yersinia enterocolitica, now classified as a member of the enterobacteriaceae, was recognized as a distinct species in 1964 it has been isolated with increasing frequency from man and animals (including dogs and pigs) and from some human foods. y. enterocolitica infections are now seen as a cause for some concern in both human and veterinary medicine. the organism is commonly found in specimens from swine slaughterhouses and has been isolated from samples of market meat, vacuum-packed beef ...19761087589

[bacteriocinogeny in yersinia enterocolitica].bacteriocinogeny was found in 19.8 per cent of y. enterocolitica strains tested. it was designated by the authors as enterocoliticacinogeny and the substance produced by the pathogen was named enterocoliticacine. bacteriocinogeny was found among the collection strains isolated in the south primorye and not among the strains isolated abroad. some cultures of y. enterocolitica isolated abroad and in the south primorye were used as indicator strains for revealing enterocoliticacinogeny. enterocolit ...19751091204
restriction of dna in yersinia enterocolitica detected by recipient ability for a derepressed r factor from escherichia coli.a derepressed r factor, ry2drd2, was transferred at a frequency of 5x10minus 3 between two strains of yersinia enterocolitica mated on a membrane. under the same conditions transfer of this r factor from escherichia coli to y. enterocolitica was observed at a frequency of only 7-7x10minus 6. this frequency was greatly increased when the recipient strain was heat-treated before mating. heat exposure for optimum fertility was 50 to 52 degrees c for a period of 2 to 3 min. mutants of y. enterocolit ...19751095683

[isolation of yersinia enterocolitica in acute ileitis].2246 stool specimens were specifically testet for yersinia enterocolitica during 1973/74. in one case it was possible to isolate a strain of yersinia enterocolitica (0-group i of knapp/serotype 3 of winblad) from the feces of a patient suffering of acute ileitis. a high agglutinine-titer was serologically detected against a bacterial suspension of the isolated strain as well as of a reference strain (serotype 3 of winblad). the antibody-titer was 1 : 3200 by the first examination and dropped to ...19751097881
common enterobacterial antigen in yersinia enterocolitica.production of the common enterobacterial antigen (ca) by strains of yersinia enterocolitica (y.e.) serotypes 3 and 9 (winblad), by strains of 5 different y.e. serogroups (wauters) and various other bacteria was examined. antibody against ca was raised by immunization of rabbits with e. coli o 14. extract prepared from s. typhimurium was used for the sensitization of sheep erythrocytes with ca. absorption and haemagglutination inhibition experiments showed that ca could be detected in heat extrac ...19751098394
[transmission of drug-resistance through conjugation in yersinia enterocolitica and yersinia pseudotuberculosis. (ii). with special reference to streptomycin resistant strains isolated from men and domestic animals (author's transl)].seven strains of y. enterocolitica, of which 2 strains being resistant to sm, tc and sa, 2 to sm and sa 3 to sm, and 3 strains of y. pseudotuberculosis resistant to sm have been isolated from men and domestic animals. tests were carried out with these 10 isolates for transfer of the drug resistance by bacterial conjugation, and evidence was obtained for transfer of resistance from 1 sm-resistant y. enterocolitica and 2 y. pseudotuberculosis strains to the sensitive e. coli k-12. moreover, second ...19751099269
isolation of yersinia enterocolitica from swine.data pertaining to 20 strains of yensinia enterocolitica isolated from the cecal content of swine slaughtered at toronto abattoirs are presented. fifteen of 20 cultures belonged to the two predominant human serotypes in ontario (i.e., serotype o:3 and o:5,27.) seven cultures of y. enterocolitica o:3 belonged to the "canadian" human phage type 9b. these findings are further proof that swine are reservoirs for y. enterocolitica human infection. seventeen y. enterocolitica cultures were isolated by ...19751107350
clinical isolation of yersinia enterocolitica: cold temperature enrichment.a cold-temperature enrichment procedure was used to isolate yersinia enterocolitica serotype 6 from a clinical stool specimen. the use of conventional laboratory media and enrichment procedures failed to isolate this organism.19751107352
