observations on the m-wave and the cnv in the squirrel monkey.a typical cnv paradigm, with food as reward, evokes in the squirrel monkey's post-arcuate and post-central cortices both m-waves in response to the cues and what appears to be a cnv in the interstimulus interval. both wave forms appear to be generated locally in cortex and to be more closely related temporally to the cues than to the animal's behavioral response. the cnv, like the m-wave, appears to reflect the animal's level of interest in obtaining the reward. it is smaller when the animal mis ...197985525
immunologic features of a carcinogen-induced murine bladder cancer: in vivo and in vitro studies.certain in vivo and in vitro immunologic features of carcinogen-induced murine bladder cancer have been studied. the consistency of tumor induction, its natural history, and immunogenicity both in vivo and in vitro render this syngeneic murine bladder tumor a suitable model for immunologic studies. pre-immunization of strain c3h/hen mice with mid-gestational fetal cells did not protect the animals from tumor challenge. sera of mice immunized with mid-gestational fetal cells were not cytotoxic to ...200086659

complications of intracranial bypass for vertebrobasilar insufficiency.the authors' initial experience with intracranial revascularization of vertebrobasilar insufficiency, reported previously, fortunately yielded reasonably good results with high patency rates but in some cases there were significant, albeit temporary, complications. since that time, major brain-stem strokes have occurred in two patients following superficial temporal to superior cerebellar artery bypass procedures. this occurrence has caused the authors to reassess their experience with this proc ...20082643687

on the kinetic depth effect.the problem of the kinetic depth effect is revisited. we study how many points in how many views are necessary and sufficient to recover structure. the constraints in the cases where the velocities of the image points are known, and the positions of the image points are known with the correspondence between them established, are different and they have to be studied separately. in the case of two projections of any number of points there are infinitely many solutions, but if we regularize the pr ...20082719982
bone bonding behavior of mgo-cao-sio2-p2o5-caf2 glass (mother glass of a.w-glass-ceramics).in this study, it was found that a ca-p layer and a si layer were formed on the interface of the mother glass of apatite-wollastonite containing glass-ceramics (designated aw) and bone tissue. the dissolution of si, ca, and p from glass (mgo-cao-sio2-p2o5-caf2) is necessary to form a chemical film (a si layer and a ca-p layer). the three kinds of glasses used were 1) a mirror surface of the mother glass (mgo 4.6, cao 44.9, sio2 34.2, p2o5 16.3, caf 0.5 weight ratio) of aw (designated g-aw (mirro ...19892738079
histamine concentration and ca2+ mobilization in arterial smooth muscle.smooth muscle contraction is dependent on ca2+ entry from the extracellular space or release from intracellular stores. the sensitivity of these ca2+ sources to agonist concentration was evaluated by measuring myoplasmic [ca2+] (as estimated by aequorin), myosin phosphorylation, and isometric stress in the swine carotid media. high histamine concentrations produced transient elevations in [ca2+] and phosphorylation with rapid generation of near maximal stress. lower histamine concentrations prod ...19892750885
