| electromyographic response of respiratory muscles during elastic loading. | the response of respiratory motor neurons to graded elastic loading was assessed in anesthetized dogs by recording the electromyogram (emg) from the diaphragm (ed) and the intercostal muscle (eic). elastic loads were applied for 1-20 breaths. the effects of changes in pco2 on respiratory motor neuron output was assessed by applying loads during the course of co2 rebreathing. on the first loaded breath, ed and eic increased reflexly due chiefly to prolongation of inspiration. vagotomy or vagal co ... | 1976 | 4977 |
| plasma secretin and gastrin responses to a meat meal and duodenal acidification in dogs. | in five conscious dogs with gastric fistula and two duodenal cannulas, plasma ria secretin and gastrin levels were determined in response to 1) infusion of 0.1 n hcl in the proximal duodenal cannula, 2) ingestion of a meal, and 3) intraduodenal infusion of 0.1 n hcl following ingestion of a meal. significant increases in plasma ria secretin levels occurred during duodenal acidification. however, no significant change occurred in the secretin levels after ingestion of a meal, whereas significant ... | 1976 | 4978 |
| intracellular ph of brain: alterations in acute respiratory acidosis and alkalosis. | to evaluate the metabolic adaptations of the brain to acute respiratory acid-base disturbances, a method was developed to measure intracellular ph (phi) in the brain of dogs under conditions in which arterial ph is rapidly altered. brain phi was determined by measuring the distribution of 14c-labeled dimethadione (dmo) in brain relative to cortical csf. brain extracellular space (ecs) was evaluated as the 35so4 = space relative to cortical csf, and arterial po2 was maintained at 82-110 mmhg. in ... | 1976 | 4979 |
| cardiovascular effects of cerebroventricular ouabain perfusion in the adult dog. | cerebroventricular perfusion with artificial cerebrospinal fluid containing 10(-5) m ouabain was performed in adult dogs in order to describe the time course of the cardiovascular effect of intraventricular ouabain and to evaluate treatments to eliminate the cardiovascular effect. the central effect of ouabain caused a 56% increase in blood pressure above control values and a 35% increase in heart rate with various cardiac arrhythmias. both alpha- and beta-adrenergic blocking drugs given intrave ... | 1976 | 4981 |
| effect of increasing doses of dopamine on the left ventricular function in the dog. | a study on eleven dogs of the effects of increasing doses of dopamine on the left ventricular function. a description of the method which consists of a venous shunt connected to an extra-corporeal circuit and which allows modification simply and rapidly of the state of vascular refilling of the animal. the results differ according to the pressure-level of the refilling of the left ventricule. at low pressure, the dopamine increases the arterial pressure, the cardiac output and the systolic activ ... | 1975 | 5026 |
| effect of alpha and beta adrenergic blockade on epinephrine induced pulmonary insufficiency. | recent studies demonstrated that epinephrine causes significant pulmonary a-v shunting. this study reports the effect of alpha and beta adrenergic blockade on this shunting. sixty-three anesthetized mongrel dogs were ventilated with a mechanical respirator. measurements of (1) the pulmonary shunt, (2) cardiac output, (3) mean pulmonary artery, pulmonary capillary wedge and systemic pressures, and (4) pulmonary and systemic vascular resistances were obtained at 5, 15 and 30 minute intervals durin ... | 1976 | 5061 |
| revascularization of the heart through the coronary veins. | fifty-six dogs were used in a study to evaluate perfusion of the left anterior descending vein by the internal mammary artery in hearts with normal coronary arteries and those with ligated desending coronary arteries. perfusion of the myocardium with arterial blood through the cardiac veins offers minimal immediate protection from infarction, as evidenced by light and electron microscopy studies. this protection is of short duration due to intimal fibrosis and luminal stenosis or obstruction of ... | 1976 | 5062 |
| dirofilaria immitis (dog heartworm) as a pulmonary lesion in humans. | dirofilaria immitis, the dog heartworm, has been identified in the pulmonary granulomas of 5 patients from the greater charleston area; this is the largest series of such cases from one medical center. the patients had no pulmonary symptoms. on roentgenogram the lesions were all about 2 cm in size, of uniform light opacity, and located near the pleural surface. thoractomy was performed in each instance because of the possiblity of carcinoma. the association of granuloma formation, pulmonary infa ... | 1976 | 5063 |
| studies on the chemical nature of urinary chemiluminescence. | studies on the nature of the chemicals responsible for urinary chemiluminescence have been carried out. urinary chemiluminescence can be increased slightly by sulphatase, more by glucuronidase but most of all by boiling for 1 hour at ph 1. it is suggested that most of the chemicals responsible for urinary chemiluminescence are bound as non-chemiluminescent precursors to sulphate, glucuronic acid and in other ways. both the chemiluminescent material and the inactive precursors are freely ultrafil ... | 1976 | 5168 |
| effects of regional ischemia on metabolism of glucose and fatty acids. relative rates of aerobic and anaerobic energy production during myocardial infarction and comparison with effects of anoxia. | the rate of coronary flow reaching the oxygen-linited heart appears to be crucial in determining the myocardial tissue metabolic response. the tissue metabolic response to anoxia, well studied in hearts perfused with anoxic media, differs in many important ways from the response to ischemia. in regional ischemia (developing infarction) there is still a residual oxygen uptake which is reduced approximately to the same extent as the delivery of o2; there is also decreased delivery of substrates an ... | 1976 | 5202 |
| control of ionic permeabilities in normal and ischemic heart. | the major ionic conductances underlying electrical activity in cardiac tissues are described. the participation of electrogenic active transport in electrical phenomenon and the influence of metabolic inhibition on cardiac action potentials are briefly summarized. some electrophysiological effects of lactate and acidosis, such as might be induced by ischemia, are described. in dog purkinje fibers, lactate (20 mm ph 7.0) may induce transient periods of arrhythmias. acidosis decreases rapid sodium ... | 1976 | 5203 |
| cutaneous and muscular rasodilation in the canine hindlimb evoked by central stimulation. | using stereotaxic procedures, we electrically stimulated specific sites in the hypothalamus and midbrain of anesthetized dogs pretreated with guanethidine and atropine methonitrate. a tract in which stimulation caused noncholinergic dilator responses in the hindlimbs was identified. the course of this trace was different from that subserving cholinergic vasodilation in the hindlimb musculature. in a number of experiments we studied the proportional distribution of blood flow to leg and paw. resp ... | 1976 | 5204 |
| partial purification of a high molecular weight renin from hog kidney. | previous investigators have reported finding a high molecular weight (hmw) renin in various species which is activated by acidification. two laboratories have reported that a decrease in molecular weight of the renin accompanies the acidification step. this report describes the partial purification of an hmw renin from hog kidney extracts which had previously been acidified to ph 2.5. the hmw renin, with a molecular weight of 57,000-59,000, constitutes only a small, relatively constant fraction ... | 1976 | 5208 |
| effect of beta-adrenergic agonists aerosolized by freon propellant on tracheal mucous velocity and cardiac output. | the present study was designed to assess the effects of two beta-adrenergic agonists, isoproterenol sulfate and carbuterol hydrochloride, and aerosolized freon propellant (a mixture of freon ii, freon 12, and freon 114) on tracheal mucous velocity and cardiac output in anesthetized dogs. five groups of ten animals each received the following dosages of aerosols: freon, 20 puffs; isoproterenol, four puffs; carbuterol, four puffs; isoproterenol, 20 puffs; and carbuterol, 20 puffs. the puff was del ... | 1976 | 5251 |
| qualitative metabolic fate of phenoxybenzamine in rat, dog, and man. use of 15n-labeling. | administration of an equimolar mixture of unlabeled and 15n-labeled phenoxybenzamine to rats and dogs facilitated identification of urinary metabolites by gas chromatography/chemical-ionization mass spectrometry by virtue of the the conspicuous equal-intensity ion pairs produced. by use of this technique n-benzyl-n-phenoxyisopropylamine (iii), n-benzyl-n-(p-hydroxy-phenoxyisopropyl)amine (iv), and 2-benzylamino-1-propanol (vi) were identified as metabolites in rats. phenoxyisopropylamine (v) as ... | 1976 | 5261 |
| identification of the urinary metabolites of 14c-bumetanide in the rat and their excretion by rats and dogs. | unchanged bumetanide, 3-(n-butylamino)-4-phenoxy-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid, and five metabolites were excreted in the urine of rats given 50 mg of 14c-labeled drug per kg intravenously. the metabolites, which were identified by mass spectrometry and/or nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, arose by metabolic alteration of the n-butyl sidechain. in metabolites i-v, the butylamino group was converted to -nhch2ch2ch2cooh, -nhch2ch2ch2ch2oh,, -nhch2ch2chohch3, -nhch2ch2chohch2oh and -nh2, respectiv ... | 1976 | 5262 |
| the pharmacology of burimamide and metiamide, two histamine h2-receptor antagonists. | burimamide and metiamide are two histamine h2-receptor antagonists. evidence is presented that indicates the competitive nature and the specificity of the antagonism. metiamide is about ten times more potent than burimamide and is also more effective than burimamide when given orally. both compounds inhibit gastric secretion and the evidence is consistent with this inhibition being due to competitive antagonism of h2 receptors in the gastric mucosa. burimamide, unlike metiamide, causes release o ... | 1976 | 5313 |
| identification and blockade of vascular h2 receptors. | experiments were conducted in anesthetized dogs to determine the nature of receptors mediating vascular actions of histamine. in the perfused gracilis muscle histamine caused vasodilatation that was attenuated in part by mepyramine, an h1-receptor blocker. metiamide, an h2 blocker, given alone had no effect on dilatation. however, the combination of mepyramine and metiamide resulted in a large attenuation of dilatation. histamine caused constriction of the perfused saphenous vein that was totall ... | 1976 | 5314 |
