[mechanisms of thrombin-induced plasminogen activator release].the protein kinase c inhibitor h7 (10(-5) mol/l) is able to inhibit the thrombin-induced t-pa release in the isolated perfused pig ear. the thrombin-induced t-pa release can be blocked by increasing the intracellular c-amp via either the activation of adenylate cyclase by means of forskolin, or the inhibition of the phosphodiesterase by means of motapizone or milrinone. protein kinase c is assumed to be involved in the process of thrombin-induced t-pa release.19892483708
two distinct quisqualate receptors regulate ca2+ homeostasis in hippocampal neurons in vitro.addition of quisqualate to mouse hippocampal neurons in vitro elicited two types of changes in [ca2+]i as assessed by fura-2-based microfluorimetry. the first was a transient spike or group of oscillations and the second was a long lasting "plateau" response. the long-lasting response was abolished on removal of either ca2+ or na+ from the external medium or by blocking voltage-sensitive ca2+ channels. furthermore, the novel glutamate antagonist 6-nitro-7-cyano-quinoxaline-2,3-dione was a compet ...19892566904
identification of phenolyl cobamide from the homoacetogenic bacterium sporomusa ovata.phenolyl cobamide was isolated from cyanide extractions of the anaerobic eubacterium sporomusa ovata. the proposed corrinoid structure [co alpha,co beta-(monocyano,monoaquo)-phenolyl cobamide] has been deduced from 1h nmr, fast-atom-bombardment mass spectroscopy and ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy data. the complete corrinoid resembled p-cresolyl cobamide [co alpha,co beta-(monocyano,monoaquo)-p-cresolyl cobamide], which recently has been obtained from cyanide extractions of the same bacterium. ...19892606109
effect of ok-432 on the lymphnode metastasis of mca-sarcoma cell lines: a new therapeutic approach.the two unique highly metastatic mca-sarcoma cell lines have been established by the present authors. the inoculation of 1153ln, one of the cell lines, either into footpad or subcutaneously on the back of syngeneic mice resulted in the development of metastasis exclusively in almost all lymphnodes of the body. we evaluated the therapeutic effect of a streptococcal preparation, ok-432, on the lymphnode metastasis. two ke per mouse of ok-432 were injected intratumorally (it) at 4, 7 or 10 days aft ...19892637250
effects of trypanocidal drugs on protein biosynthesis in vitro and in vivo by trypanosoma cruzi.nifurtimox (nf) and benznidazole (bz), drugs used in the treatment of chagas' disease, did not inhibit protein biosynthesis in in vitro homologous cell-free systems isolated from trypanosoma cruzi and crithidia fasciculata; nevertheless, their addition to growing cultures caused polyribosomal depolymerization. on the other hand, berenil, antrycide and suramin, used against african trypanosomiasis, inhibited protein biosynthesis in vitro but did not affect ribosomal distribution, probably due to ...19892673249
inhibition of endopeptidase 24.15 slows the in vivo degradation of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone.endopeptidase (ep) 24.15 cleaves the tyr5-gly6 bond of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (lhrh) (pglu-his-trp-ser-tyr-gly-leu-arg-pro-gly-nh2), and is the primary lhrh degrading enzyme in pituitary and hypothalamic membrane preparations. potent and specific inhibitors were used to identify the enzymes involved in the in vivo degradation of lhrh. after i.c.v. administration of lhrh, only about 1% of the peptide was recovered from brain after 1 hr. concurrent administration of lhrh and n-[1-(r ...19892681686
differential inhibition by ergonovine of norepinephrine release in the coronary artery and saphenous vein of the dog.experiments were performed to determine the effect of ergonovine on adrenergic neurotransmission in the blood vessel wall. strips of canine left circumflex coronary arteries and saphenous veins were incubated with [3h]norepinephrine and suspended for superfusion. ergonovine (10(-6) m) decreased the overflow of [3h] norepinephrine to a modest degree in the coronary artery, whereas a profound inhibition of overflow was observed in the saphenous vein. methiothepin, but not rauwolscine, reversed the ...19892709336
18-cycloalkyl analogues of enisoprost.by use of standard cuprate methodology, a series of 18-cycloalkyl analogues of enisoprost was prepared in an effort to impede omega chain metabolism and prolong duration of gastric antisecretory activity. an initial product of omega chain oxidation, the c-20 hydroxy analogue, was also synthesized for pharmacological comparison. the cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, and cyclopentyl analogues were approximately one-fourth as potent as enisoprost in inhibiting gastric acid secretion, while the cyclohexyl an ...19892709370

an automatic autotransfusion system with a centrifugal pump: a hematologic evaluation in dogs.the requirements that have to be met by an on-line autotransfusion system (ats) in case of massive blood loss are a sufficient capacity for reinfusing the shed blood, an optimal hemocompatibility, ability to prevent reinfusion of aspirated air, and ease of operation. in a previous study we tested a diaphragm pump in our pneumatically driven ats that met these requirements. in this study a centrifugal pump was used as an outflow pump in otherwise the same system. a centrifugal pump has important ...19883336870
a cluster of three cases of aplastic anaemia in children.during a 2-week period three unrelated children presented with severe aplastic anaemia at a general hospital serving a population of 25,000 children aged 0-15 years. the probability of this occurring by chance alone was 0.00009 (exact probability cluster analysis). serology for common viral infections including hepatitis a & b and infectious mononucleosis was negative. it was not possible to demonstrate igm antibodies to human parvovirus (hpv) by radioimmunoprecipitation or hpv virions by dna hy ...19883365932
role of lipophorin in lipid transport to the insect egg.lipid accounts for 40% of the dry weight of a mature manduca sexta egg. less than 1% of the total egg lipid is derived from de novo synthesis by the follicles. the remaining egg lipid originates in the fat body and is transported to the ovary by lipoproteins. vitellogenin, the major egg yolk lipoprotein, accounts for 5% of the total egg lipid. the remaining 95% lipid is attributable to the hemolymph lipophorins, adult high density lipophorin (hdlp-a) and low density lipophorin (ldlp). when hdlp- ...19883379043
the transfer of serum igg1 antibody into the gastrointestinal tract in newborn calves.transfer of functional blood igg1 to the gastrointestinal tract was measured in neonatal calves. radiolabelled immunoglobulin g1 (igg1) anti-dnp antibody was administered to 2 day old calves by intravenous injection. the serum clearance rate was measured and was compared to the rate of protein-bound 125i excretion in the feces over a 10 day period to determine the importance of transfer to the gastrointestinal tract as a mechanism of serum igg1 clearance. the amount of protein-bound and dnp-bind ...19873433671

[study of local shiftings of the brain stem in increased intracranial pressure by a supratentorial balloon].the study of the mechanism of pressure transmission is important for the treatment of rapid deterioration of a patient's condition with increased intracranial pressure (icp) from a space taking lesion in neurosurgical practice. the aim of this experiment is to clarify the mechanism of pressure transmission during supratentorial balloon inflation, by continuously monitoring local shiftings of the brain using strain gauge sensors. mongrel dogs and macaca fuscatas were fixed in stereotaxic head fra ...19863718782
aortic baroreceptor characteristics in dogs with chronic high output failure.it has been shown that the arterial baroreflex is depressed in heart failure. the role of alterations in afferent discharge as a possible mechanism for this depression has not been investigated previously. single unit aortic baroreceptor activity was recorded from six normal dogs and from nine dogs, each with a chronic aorto-caval fistula (avf). at the time of the acute experiment, mean arterial blood pressure (mabp) was not significantly different in the two groups of dogs; however, pulse press ...19863741352
anthelmintic activity of triclabendazole.triclabendazole was tested in vitro and in vivo against a range of helminths. although in vitro activity was found against hymenolepis diminuta (0.5 microgram/ml), fasciola hepatica (2.5 micrograms/ml), taenia crassiceps and schistosoma mansoni (50 micrograms/ml), in vivo activity was only found against f. hepatica, a single oral dose of 40 mg/kg killing 99% of adult flukes in the rat. this spectrum of activity suggests a mechanism of action unlike that of other benzimidazole anthelmintics.19863745874
pressure-pain threshold in human temporal region. evaluation of a new pressure algometer.a hand-held pressure algometer with a pressure sensitive strain gauge at the tip was used to measure the pressure-pain threshold (ppt) in the temporal region of healthy volunteers. various sizes of circular tips and various application rates were tested before selecting an area of 0.5 cm2 and a constant application rate of 0.68 n x sec-1 for future use. a highly significant correlation was found between ppt values obtained from the two sides (of the head) (p less than 0.001) and between ppt valu ...19863748589
membrane properties of glossopharyngeal sensory neurons in the petrosal ganglion of the cat.the active and passive properties of petrosal ganglion sensory neurons with axons in the glossopharyngeal nerve were examined with intracellular microelectrodes in an in vitro preparation. glossopharyngeal neurons could be classified into two groups: h-cells showing an inflexion or hump on the falling phase of the spike and f-cells, generating a short action potential without a hump. most of the neurons found (85%) were h-cells. the axonal conduction velocity of both types of cells fell into the ...19873815100
growth response of mouse lymphoma cells to low concentrations of mercuric chloride.three growth rate experiments involving several sampling points were performed to investigate the previous finding that very low concentrations of hgcl2 inhibit the growth of murine lymphoblasts in vitro. however, results presented here do not confirm this, there being no significant differences between the three independent growth rate experiments.19853832669
[excitability cycle of the soleus motor nucleus during synergistic conditioning in man].electrical stimulation of medial or lateral gastrocnemius nerve modulates the h reflex of the soleus muscle in a well defined sequence of inhibitory and facilitatory phases the amplitude of which depends on the strength of the conditioning stimulus. this method of investigation of the soleus monosynaptic reflex pathway avoids the disadvantages of homonymous conditioning. discussion of our results points to the roles of ib and renshaw cells inhibitions in the early phases of the recovery cycle, a ...19853834855

objective evaluation of fibrosis in human testicular biopsies by analysis based on optical diffractometry.bilateral testicular biopsies were obtained from 27 patients and submitted to two different treatments for each of them: firstly, a classical fixation and colouring, permitting the histopathological diagnosis and subjective appreciation of the degree of fibrosis; secondly, a new objective technique based on optical diffractometry: this method is based on the analysis of light intensity distribution in the diffraction pattern of an original image. using two different methods of discriminant analy ...19863953256
salmonella osteomyelitis in a rhesus monkey.an adult male rhesus monkey (macaca mulatta) developed clinical signs of severe osteomyelitis of the left femur 42 days after onset of enteritis. salmonella sp. were cultured from feces, blood, and femoral lesions. response to antibiotic therapy was poor, and the animal was euthanized. the left femur, with pathologic fracture and involucrum, and the right femur, tibia and fibula were most severely affected. additionally hepatic microgranulomas, mild tubulointerstitial nephritis, medullary histio ...19863962085
development and characteristics of airstepping in chronic spinal cats.airstepping, walking-like movements of the hindlimbs, is a commonly observed behavior in chronic spinal animals when they are held vertically. the purpose of this study was to: describe the development of airstepping after spinalization and compare it to the onset of segmental reflexes, characterize the emg pattern of muscle activity during spontaneous airstepping, and examine the effects of sensory perturbation on the characteristic pattern. airstepping was analyzed during three conditions of t ...19853998821
the influence of isolation conditions on the molecular weight of bovine alpha-crystallin.the molecular weight of bovine alpha-crystallin, isolated at 37 degrees c, was studied and found to be about 800,000. this contrasts with the results of thomson and augusteyn (thomson, j. a., and augusteyn, r. c. (1983) exp. eye res. 37, 367-377) who isolated a species of about half this molecular weight. we show here that this form of alpha-crystallin can only be isolated under unphysiological conditions with regard to buffer ph and ionic strength.19854055770
