purification and properties of an endonuclease from nuclei of uninfected and polyoma-infected 3t3 cells.	an endonuclease activity has been purified approximately 800-fold from nuclei of 3t3 cells infected with polyoma virus. the purfied enzyme catalyzes an endonucleoytic cleavage of single- and double-stranded dna and single-stranded rna. evidence that the activity towards these substrates resides in the same protein molecule is provided by the finding that they co-sediment in sucrose gradients and have identical rates of heat inactivation. studies on the dnase activity shows that the rate of hydro ...	1976	187596
a comparative morphometric analysis of the effects of thyroxine and acth on the zona fasciculata of rat adrenal cortex.	the effects of thyroxine and acth on the ultrastructure of cells of the adrenal zona fasciculata were studied by morphometric analysis and compared by two-way analysis of variance. the results indicate that the effects of thyroxine and acth are different and independent. the statistically significant differences in effect of thyroxine and acth are: thyroxine causes an increase in the volume fraction of mitochondria and a decrease in the volume fraction of endoplasmic reticulum independent of act ...	1976	178165
oxidative phosphorylation in micrococcus denitrificans: calculation of the p/o ratio in growing cells.	p/o ratios were measured in membrane particles obtained from cells of micrococcus denitrificans, while growing on different carbon sources. the membrane particles obtained from cells growing actively on glucose, succinate, ethanol and propanol as the carbon and energy sources catalyzed oxidative phosphorylation and yielded respective p/o ratios of 1.4, 1.2, 0.8, and 0.5 with nadh, and 0.8, 0.6, 0.6, and 0.5 with succinate as the electron donors. not such a difference in p/o ratio is observed in ...	1976	179486
studies on the corticotrophin-releasing activity of vasopressin, using acth secretion by cultured rat adenohypophyseal cells.	crf activity of synthetic vasopressins and pitressin was studied in an in vitro system of cultured rat adenohypophyseal cells using direct measurement of acth by radioimmunoassay. pitressin (posterior pituitary extract) induced a dose-related secretion of acth whereas synthetic arginine or lysine vasopressin were devoid of crf activity, even with the largest tested dose (4 mug/ml). no potentiation of the crf activity of hypothalamic extract was observed with any vasopressin preparation studied. ...	1976	179790
daily variation in concentration of plasma corticosteroid in hypophysectomized rats.	a daily variation in the concentration of plasma corticosteroid hormone is present in hypophysectomized rats implanted with pellets of adrenocorticotropic hormone (acth) and thyroxine. although acth is necessary to maintain a functional adrenal, and thyroxine is required to permit the expression of the plasma corticosteroid rhythm, a normal daily variation in plasma corticosteroid concentration does not appear to depend on the periodic release of pituitary hormones.	1976	179796
reduction of 5'-nucleotidase activity in rat thyroid and adenohypophysis following methylthiouracil treatment.	5' -nucleotidase activity was determined in rat thyroid and some other organs employing a specific assay method. during the course of methylthiouracil (mtu) treatment, thyroid 5'-nucleotidase activity decreased significantly. this decrease was specific for this enzyme since the activity of neutral phosphatase did not change and the activity of alkaline phosphatase and mg2+-activated adenosine triphosphatase increased markedly. the 5'-nucleotidase activity of the adenohypophysis also decreased fo ...	1976	179798
a noradren aline sensitive adenylate cyclase in the rat limbic forebrain: preparation, properties and the effects of agonists, adrenolytics and neuroleptic drugs.	a method for the preparation of a noradrenaline sensitive adenylate cyclase from homogenates of the rat 'limbic' forebrain is described using krebs--ringer as the homogenising medium. some of its properties resemble those reported previously by other workers, using slices. its response to agonists show that it has the characteristics of a beta1-receptor i.e. the potency of 1-isoprenaline exceeds that of 1-noradrenaline which exceeds that of 1-adrenaline. structure--activity analysis of the respo ...	1976	179826
immunofluorescent detection of adenovirus antigen in epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.	an immunofluorescent technique was used to demonstrate soluble adenoviral antigens in epithelial cells on conjunctival scrapings of patients with epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (ekc). conjunctival scrapings for immunofluorescence and viral isolation studies were performed on 79 patients suspected of having ekc or other acute follicular or papillary conjunctivitides. of 41 patients with clinical findings consistent with a diagnosis of ekc and three patients with pharyngoconjunctional fever, 43 wer ...	1976	176130

fibroblast dna synthesis activation in sponge induced granulation tissue. the effect of antineutrophil serum and cyclophosphamide.	dna synthesis in rat and rabbit polyvinyl sponge induced granulation tissue has been studied using thymidine (methyl-3h). synthesis was determined by measurement of thymidine incorporation into cold trichloroacetic acid insoluble material and by autoradiography. granulation tissue was removed and immediately incubated in vitro in the presence of thymidine (methyl-3h) for three hours. the label was incorporated into the nuclei of fibroblasts and, to a lesser extent, of endothelial cells. the labe ...	1976	136330
pharmacological experiments as a basis for the administration of digoxin in the horse.	it is shown that the concentration of ouabain necessary for 50 per cent inhibition of the na+k activated membrane atpase of red cells is similar in man and horse. this is taken to indicate that the two species have similar sensitivity towards cardiac glycosides in general. in five adult healthy horses plasma digoxin concentration was measured with a radioimmunoassay technique after a single intravenous injection of 1 mg/100 kg body weight digoxin. the half time of elimination was 23 h and the ap ...	1976	130670
prevention of vascular complications of diabetes by pancreatic islet transplantation.	isolated pancreatic islets from wistar-lewis rats were transplanted into the liver of diabetic allogeneic recipients to assess ability to prevent diabetic renal and ophthalmic complications. at nine months, the diabetic animals without transplants showed significant increase in pas-positive material in the renal glomerular mesangium and thickening of glomerular arterioles as compared with normal nondiabetic animals. new vessel formation was also significant in the retina and retinal capillary di ...	1976	130850
a search for mycoplasmas and chlamydiae in acne lesions.	no mycoplasmas and no chlamydiae were found in cultures of 75 uninflamed comedones, 72 papulopustular lesions, and 7 cystic lesions from 14 subjects with acne. chlamydial serologic tests were negative for 11 subjects and showed antibodies in 3 subjects to 3 different antigenic types of trachoma agent. these results are viewed as substantial evidence against the possibility that either mycoplasmas or chlamydiae play an important part in the pathogenesis of acne.	1976	133192
[possibilities of correcting some metabolic disorders in experimental endotoxic shock by treatment with a combination of alpha-lipoic acid and epsilon aminocaproic acid].	alpha-lipoic acid associated with xi-aminocaproic acid proves to have a protector effect in the posttreatment of endotoxinic shock in rabbits, produced by the administration of e. coli o111, in doses of 1.5 mg/kg body weight. this effect was observed when administered early in the stage of energy privation, and was manifested by a longer survival, diminution of lactacidemia and protection of labile phosphate reserves.	1976	133444

fractionated precipitation of acid macropolyanions by dialysis, a simple method for the estimation of dna in complex biological samples.	after efficient extraction by para-aminosalicylate, chopping, grinding and eventual sonication, the macropolyanions are transformed into their cetyltrimethylammonium salts. these have differing solubilities, strongly depending on ionic strength. the cationic detergent-macropolyanionic salts are solubilized by high salt concentration. salt is then dialysed out, rendering the polyanions highly insoluble in a sequential fashion. the insolubilized components are determined quantitatively by monitori ...	1976	134556
vagal afferents essential for abdominal muscle activity during lung inflation in cats.	maintained inflation of the lung evokes abdominal muscle activity in anesthetized cats only if the vagus nerves are intact, indicating the importance of vagal receptors. the location of these receptors was determined in 14 anesthetized cats by comparing prevagotomy inflation responses of the abdominal muscles and diaphragm to the responses obtained after section of the thoracic vagi at one of three different levels. the abdominal muscle and diaphragm responses to maintained lung inflation persis ...	1976	134985
fetal syphilis in the first trimester.	evidenc of first-trimester fetal syphilis was sought in the products of conception in a therapeutic abortion clinic. during two collection periods of one week, five patients with serologic and clinical data consistent with recent syphilitic infection were identified. their conceptuses were carefully examined by silver and immunofluorescent stains for the presence of treponema pallidum. two of these five conceptuses (9 and 10 weeks' gestation) were found to contain t. pallidum by these methods. t ...	1976	56895
