| electrospinogram and spinal and cortical evoked potentials in experimental spinal cord trauma. | studies in 28 traumatized cats showed the following acute changes after spinal cord compression in the cord segment below the trauma: 1) increase in size of the spinal cord evoked potential; 2) increase in size of the electrospinogram; and 3) increase in frequency of the electrospinogram. | 1975 | 1194940 |

| [use of the brock punch for confection of a shunt between both ventricles, the ventricle and pulmonary artery or aorta without cardiopulmonary by-pass (cpb) (author's transl)]. | use of the brock punch for placing a graft on the ventricle is a simple and easy technique not requiring cpb. this offers large experimental possibilities with clinical applications resulting from the experience gained in the laboratory. | 1975 | 1199652 |
| the functional consequences of colectomy. | the colon plays a decisive role in salt and water conservation in the intact human, normally removing from the terminal intestine approximately one liter of isotonic fluid that escapes small bowel absorption. the primary purpose of this colon function is probably to prevent extracellular fluid volume depletion and only incidentally to produce a normal solid stool. the patient with an ileostomy can partly adapt to replace the absorptive capacity lost after colectomy but is still vulnerable if sal ... | 1975 | 1200267 |
| comparative study on the 3h-thymidine index of dorsal epidermis, buccal mucosa, and seminal vesicles in senile male rats. | to supplement previous investigations on endogenous fluctuations of dna synthesis in male rat dorsal epidermis, buccal mucosa and seminal vesicle epithelium from birth to sexual maturity, the labelling indices (l.i.) of these tissues in senile male rats from the same breed, studied under analogous experimental conditions, were evaluated as well as compared to the data obtained from rats in puberal and early mature age. in the dorsal epidermis and buccal mucosa of the old animals the medium l.i. ... | 1975 | 1200711 |

| binding of vitamin b12--rat transcobalamin ii and free vitamin b12 to plasma membranes isolated from rat liver. | when dialysed rat serum which contains a single, low molecular weight binder for vitamin b12, rat transcobalamin ii (rat tc-ii), was labelled in vitro with 57co-vitamin b12 and then incubated at 30 degrees c (ph 7-5) with vesicles of highly purified plasma membranes separated from microsomal fractions of rat liver by density gradient centrifugation, the 57co-vitamin b12-rat tc-ii complex bound to high affinity sites on the vesicles via a specific (binding after correction for 'non-specific' bind ... | 1975 | 1201244 |
| new inhibitors of methane production by rumen micro-organisms. experiments with animals and other practical possibilities. | 1. two inhibitors of rumen methane production were given to sheep and their effects were measured using an in vitro technique. 2. the substances used were trichloroethyl pivalate (tce-p) and trichloroethyl adipate (tce-a). in one experiment with two sheep tce-p was injected into the rumen and in another experiment with two sheep the same inhibitor was mixed with the food just before feeding. in another experiment, tce-a was given to two sheep at two dose levels, and in an experiment with four sh ... | 1975 | 1201268 |
| polypectate digestion by yersinia. | the ability of yersinia to digest polypectate may be of some value in differentiating y. enterocolitica and y. pseudotuberculosis from some of the other fermenting gram-negative bacilli, such as enterobacter agglomerans, with which they can be confused. pectolytic activity in yersinia may also have some teleologic or taxonomic significance about which we do not care to speculate. | 1975 | 1206110 |

| [effect of the prolonged contact of a flea population with plague bacteria on the infective activity of vetors]. | results of the experimental infection of fleas (x. cheopis) with the plague agent after their long (2.5 years, 19 generations) feeding on infected white mice showed no difference in the infection activity of these insects as compared to control ones. the authors question the hypothesis according to which a low frequency of protein-formation in some species of fleas is due to their long contact with the plague agent in the historical past. | 1975 | 1221343 |

| similar combining sites of igg1 and igg2a antibodies in individual mice as judged from affinity and rate constant measurements. | within individual sera, mouse igg1 and igg2a subclass antibodies against the antigenic determinant oligo-d-alanine are likely to have similar combining sites. the antibodies are characterized by two methods, by their rate of binding to antigen equipped sheep red blood cells and by the hapten inhibition of antigen binding. the two characteristics are shown to be independent. the subclass antibodies of thirteen different sera differ by a factor of about 10 in their rate constant and by a factor of ... | 1975 | 1234045 |
| cat bite transmission of yersinia pestis infection to man. | the transmission of bubonic plague from the kitten of a domestic cat to a man by means of a bite on a finger is described. the human case was complicated by the development of a secondary meningitis, followed, after specific therapy, by protracted recovery. the kitten showed swollen lymph nodes of the head and neck, frothing at the mouth and nostrils, and signs of an acute infectious disease which had a fatal termination. yersinia pestis was isolated on about the 8th day from the cerebrospinal f ... | 1975 | 1238568 |
