prevalence and distribution of spotted fever and typhus infections in sierra leone and ivory coast.a serosurvey for evidence of rickettsial infections was conducted in the rural populations of several tropical rain forest areas in sierra leone and ivory coast. seropositivity rates were surprisingly high in both countries, with more than 7% of the individuals in some districts having antibodies to spotted fever-group rickettsiae. no significant difference was found in the overall prevalence of diagnostic antibody titers to spotted fever-group rickettsiae in sierra leone (5.3%) and ivory coast ...19863025125
animal model: dysmorphogenesis and death in a chicken embryo model.the chicken embryo is a useful animal model for investigating problems in developmental biology and teratology. here we report data that further define the causes of 2 different patterns of malformation (one associated with amnion abnormalities, the other with isolated neural tube defects) and death induced by making a window in the shell and subshell membranes during the first day of incubation. the interpretation of these data suggests to us the following hypotheses. an early amnion deficit sp ...19873631128
effects of "partial axotomy" upon synaptic function.a lesion limited to the dorsal columns, at the level of l3-l4, was carried out in chronic cats. this operation produced a "partial axotomy" type of lesion on the ascending branches of ia hind limb afferents. two to six months after this operation, intracellular studies on l7-s1 motoneurons were carried out. similar studies were done in normal animals. the peak amplitude and the rate of rise (dv/dt) of heteronymous epsp's were studied during control conditions (sampling at 1 hz) and during the po ...19863026830
morphological effects of gas compression on the cortical vitreous.we used scanning electron microscopy to study vitreous in normal and perfluorocarbon gas-treated eyes of cynomolgus monkeys. the cortical vitreous of the normal (control) eye appeared to be a lamellar structure composed of sheets of collagen mesh. in the gas-treated eye there was shrinking and tearing of the lamellae. at six and 12 weeks after gas injection there was membrane formation at the edges of the torn lamellae.19863741253

hypocholesterolaemic effects of dietary propionate: studies in whole animals and perfused rat liver.in adult male rats fed a non-purified diet supplemented with 5% sodium propionate, plasma cholesterol concentrations were significantly depressed. although liver cholesterol was increased by feeding propionate, rates of hepatic cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis were unchanged. tissue concentrations and rates of synthesis of cholesterol were also unaffected by dietary propionate in stomach, small intestine and caecum. concentrations of propionate in hepatic portal venous plasma were raised by ...19883214141
testosterone-sensitive vasotocin-immunoreactive cells and fibers in the canary brain.a sexual difference in vasotocin (vt) immunoreactivity was observed in the canary brain. the male canary displays denser vt innervation of the lateral septum and more vt-immunoreactive cells are visible in the dorsal diencephalon than in the female canary. this sex difference is the consequence of gonadal influences. castration of male canaries resulted in a substantial decrease of vt immunoreactivity in these septal and diencephalic cells and fibers. testosterone administration to castrated mal ...19883359249
convulsive syndrome induced by the intracerebroventricular injection of alpha-difluoromethylornithine in rats.in adult rats, the intracerebroventricular injection of alpha-difluoromethylornithine (dfmo), a polyamine antimetabolite which specifically inhibits ornithine-decarboxylase, induces a typical convulsive syndrome (ed50 = 100 micrograms/rat) and death (ld50 = 300 micrograms/rat). histological lesions are seen only with the highest doses and are essentially restricted to the ammon's horn neurones. since dfmo is currently undergoing clinical trials for use in cancer chemotherapy, including brain tum ...19853925717
effect of chronic naltrexone administration and its withdrawal on the regional activity of neurons that contain norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin.a method is described that permits the simultaneous quantitation of norepinephrine (ne), dopamine (da) serotonin (5-ht) and their respective major metabolites, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy phenylglycol (mhpg), 3-methoxytyramine (3-mt), dihydroxyphenyl acetic acid (dopac) and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-hiaa) in discrete brain regions. the ratio of mhpg/ne, dopac/da and 5-hiaa/5-ht was used to assess the effects of the chronic administration of the narcotic antagonist, naltrexone, and its withdrawal on ...19883370455
ischaemia-induced changes in the phosphorylase activity in different parts of the cardiac conduction system.the phosphorylase specific activity was lowered in total ischaemia in all examined parts of the myocardium and the conduction system of the heart. sixty-minute ischaemia had a considerable effect on glycogen degradation in right bundle branch and in the working myocardium, however, its glycogenolytic effect on the av-node and penetrating bundle of his was insignificant. phosphorylase "a" evaluated as a percentage of the total phosphorylase activity decreased in the working myocardium and increas ...19883391039
transovarial transmission of murine typhus rickettsiae in xenopsylla cheopis fleas.it has been generally accepted that infected fleas do not pass on rickettsia mooseri, or indeed any other known pathogen, to their progeny. it is reported here that such transovarial transmission does occur in laboratory-infected xenopsylla cheopis fleas. by means of the direct fluorescent antibody test, rickettsia mooseri was observed in cells of the hemolymph of infected fleas. as many as 11 percent of the adults and 2.9 percent of the larvae of the generation reared therefrom, had demonstrabl ...19853966162
c-myc expression and transformed phenotypes in hybrid clones between mouse plasmacytoma s194 cells and normal spleen cells or fibroblasts.expression of the rearranged c-myc oncogene and transformed phenotypes was investigated in 2 different types of somatic cell hybrid clones between a balb/c mouse plasmacytoma line (s194) and normal allogeneic spleen cells or fibroblasts. in the parental s194 cells, one allele of the c-myc was rearranged and its 5'-flanking region was partially deleted by recombination with the immunoglobulin c alpha gene. due to this recombination, s194 cells expressed approximately 20-fold higher than normal sp ...19883417371
endoscopic findings of bleeding esophageal varices and experimental study.it has been considered that the rupture of esophageal varices occurs with high incidences, and once bleeding occurs it sometimes cause fetal massive bleeding. however, from our experiences with the active application of emergency endoscopy, the incidence of bleeding from varix was unexpectedly low. from these results, we studied the rupture signs of esophageal varices in experiments on dogs and clinical cases. the actual rupture signs of varices were summarized as active bleeding, adhesion of fr ...19873497471
suppression of migration inhibition factor (mif) production by mitomycins in vitro.the effects of a series of mitomycins in a modified version of the migration inhibition factor (mif) test were investigated. this modified assay, which uses monocytes of the mouse cell line wehi3 as target cells for mif, discriminates between effects on the migrating monocytes, the production of mif by lymphocytes and the activity of the produced mif. the 7-methoxy mitomycins were found to be more active than the 7-amino and 7-hydroxy derivatives in suppressing both the spontaneous migration of ...19863533763
