| intracellular buffering. | in the quantification of buffering the distinct roles of bicarbonate and of other buffers must be taken into account. the determination of the total non-bicarbonate buffer value, betaa, in intact tissues is complicated by active ph regulation and by heterogeneity of cytoplasm with respect to betaa, while heterogeneity with respect to ph in vivo could cause errors in estimates made with homogenates. available estimates of betaa are discussed, as are the individual contributions of proteins, dipep ... | 1978 | 27854 |
| renal response of fetal lamb to complete occlusion of umbilical cord. | the renal response of the fetal lamb to repeated complete occlusion of the umbilical cord was studied in nine chronically instrumented animals. five episodes of occlusion of the umbilical cord, each lasting for two minutes, produced a twofold rise in fetal urine osmolality and sodium, chloride, and potassium concentrations. output of urine and glomerular filtration rate remained essentially unchanged while free water clearance decreased from a control of +0.10 to -0.02 ml. per kilogram per minut ... | 1978 | 27986 |

| the pharmacologic inhibition of premature labor. | oxytocin, elevated estrogen-progesterone ratio, fetal corticosteroids, prostaglandins, catecholamines, and changes in uterine blood flow have all been implicated as triggers of labor. in approximately one-third of cases of threatened premature labor contractions stop spontaneously. thus placebo-controlled randomized trials of any new drug for inhibition of premature labor are necessary, as the spontaneous cessation of contractions always favors the claimed therapeutic efficacy. alcohol inhibits ... | 1978 | 28500 |

| influence of mild acid hydrolysis on the antigenic properties of phase i coxiella burnetii. | mild acid hydrolysis of phase i coxiella burnetii cells gradually cleaved off polysaccharide chains, which contain determinants of antigen 1, thus unmasking determinants of the diagnostically important antigen 2. this artificial phase i to phase ii conversion was reflected by changed serological activity in the complement-fixation (cf) test and by changed nonspecific phagocytosis. the product of mild acid hydrolysis can serve as a complex diagnostic preparation, because it reacts in the cf test ... | 1978 | 29469 |

| the interactions of protons, calcium and potassium ions on cardiac purkinje fibres. | 1. in sheep purkinje fibres, acidosis shifts the steady-state current-voltage relation in an inward direction over a wide range of negative potentials. the reversal potential for ik2 is shifted in a positive direction. these changes are consistent with k+ accumulation in the extracellular spaces of the purkinje fibre. 2. these effects of acidosis are completely prevented by increasing [k]0 from the normal range (2.7--5.4 mm) to 10.8 mm. 3. increasing [ca]0 from 2 to 6 mm also produces an inward ... | 1978 | 31464 |

| the development of the binocular depth cells in the secondary visual cortex of the lamb. | in most respects, the response properties of cells in the secondary visual cortex of the newborn lamb were indistinguishable from those in the adult. the cells were sharply selective to orientation; the orientation preferences were the same in each eye, and they varied systematically as the electrode penetrated the cortex. the receptive-field organization did not differ noticeably from that in adults, and complex, hypercomplex, and a few simple cells were all observed. the ocular dominance distr ... | 1979 | 38458 |

| regional cerebral blood flow changes during severe fetal asphyxia produced by slow partial umbilical cord compression. | we studied the effects of severe partial asphyxia on regional cerebral blood flow and arterial blood pressure in the unanesthetized, physiologically stable fetal lamb. cerebral blood flow was measured by the microsphere technique before and during partial umbilical cord compression. asphyxia sufficient to decrease ph from 7.40 to 7.04 and reduce oxygen saturation from 50% to 19% increased cerebral blood flow to all areas of the brain with the largest increases going to the brain stem (275% of co ... | 1979 | 38666 |
| effect of membrane potential and internal ph on active sodium-potassium transport and on atp content in high-potassium sheep erythrocytes. | ouabain-sensitive na+ and k+ fluxes and atp content were determined in high potassium sheep erythrocytes at different values of membrane potential and internal ph. membrane potential was adjusted by suspending erythrocytes in media containing different concentrations of mgcl2 and sucrose. concomitantly either the external ph was changed sufficiently to maintain a constant internal ph or the external ph was kept constant with a resultant change of internal ph. the erythrocytes were preincubated b ... | 1979 | 38843 |
| arginine vasopressin during gestation and parturition in sheep fetus. | the possible correlation between plasma arginine vasopressin (avp) concentration and the processes leading to parturition was assessed in 11 chronically catheterized pregnant ewes. samples of blood withdrawn intermittently during a 20-day period preceding labor and during parturition were analyzed for avp by a specific radioimmunoassay, as well as for ph, paco2 and pao2. fetal avp was 1.74 +/- 1.55 pg/ml and maternal avp 1.47 +/- 0.74 pg/ml (mean +/- sd). no preparturient rise in fetal vasopress ... | 1979 | 38861 |

| adherence of erythrocytes to mycoplasma pneumoniae. | the human pathogen mycoplasma pneumoniae adheres to a variety of cells, including erythrocytes. a hemadsorption technique was developed to quantitate adherence by photometric measurement of lysates of erythrocytes that attached to sheets of m. pneumoniae grown in cups of linbro plates. attachment of sheep erythrocytes (se) increased with higher ionic strength, was unaffected by minor ph variations (6 to 9), and was blocked by anti-m. pneumoniae antiserum, but was not inhibited by a variety of su ... | 1979 | 39034 |
| in vitro binding of trypanosoma congolense to erythrocytes. | trypanosoma congolense broden, an intravascular parasite, binds to vessel walls and erythrocytes of infected hosts. in an attempt to characterize t. congolense adhesion to host cells, an in vitro assay was devised. it was shown in the in vitro experiments that t. congolense binds to bovine, sheep, and goat erythrocytes, but not always to erythrocytes of rats, mice, rabbits, horses or humans. only the anterior part of live trypanosomes adheres to erythrocytes, and the attachment site on the trypa ... | 1979 | 39167 |
| distribution of glutamate dehydrogenase and glutamine synthetase activity in the sheep and chicken digestive tract. | glutamate dehydrogenase (gldh, ec 1.4.1.3) and glutamine synthetase (gs, ec 6.3.1.2) activity were determined in the contents and tissues of the various parts of the sheep and chicken digestive tract, gldh activity in the tissues of the sheep omasum, duodenum, rumen, reticulum, colon, caecum, jejunum and ileum ranged from 3.25+/-0.7 u (mumol/g dry weight . min) to 5.94+/-2.28 u; in the abomasum it was 9.67+/-1.27 u. gldh activity in the contents of the ileum, abomasum, jejunum and duodenum varie ... | 1979 | 37534 |

| lymphocyte traffic within the bone marrow and selective retention of alloreactive cells. | earlier studies showed that large numbers of isotopically labelled thoracic duct lymphocytes (tdls) enter the bone marrow (bm) within hours of injection but depart equally as rapidly by 12 to 24 hr. the significance of this rapid flux was investigated further. early (1/2 to 2 hr) after the i.v. injection of tdls, bm was shown to contain t cells capable of initiating a graft-versus-host (gvh) reaction in f1 hybrids and in other experiments memory cells against human serum albumin (hsa). both gvh ... | 1979 | 37619 |
| [water intake, ph and ammonia levels in the ruminal contents of sheep fed pelleted feed]. | wethers were studied for the effect of the complete pelleted feed ration on the intake of water and concentration of ph and ammonia in the rumen. the animals consumed daily 1300 g of dry matter of the diet containing 41.81% of meadow hay, 25.8% of barley, 15.37% of sawdust, 14.98% of molasses, 1.32% of urea and 1.24% of vitamin mineral supplement. this feed was given to them for six months. the pelleted diet increased the intake of water (the dry matter consumption remaining the same in the cont ... | 1979 | 37631 |
