Using data on 145 white females with intraoral cancer, and 1973 non-neoplastic controls from patients seen at Roswell Park Memorial Institute between 1957 and 1966, it can be shown that exposure to both alcohol and tobacco can lead to onset of oral cancer 15 or more years earlier than would occur in women who do not use either alcohol or tobacco.

When 2 horses were dosed with cultures of a Fusarium moniliforme isolate that had previously caused only hepatosis, 1 developed brain oedema and hepatosis, and the other only leukoencephalomalacia. A 3rd horse developed both leukoencephalomalacia and hepatosis after being dosed with another isolate obtained from maize which was associated with a natural outbreak of the nervous form of the disease. Since leukoencephalomalacia and hepatosis could be induced by the same culture material, it was concluded that both syndromes were manifestations of the same toxicosis. There was also some evidence that leukoencephalomalacia might be specifically induced by the administration of smaller doses of the culture material to horses over a longer period. The clinical signs of nervous disorder included ataxia, paresis, apathy, hypersensitivity, frenzy, and other locomotory and psychic disturbances. Autopsy showed that the brains were oedematous, and focal areas of liquefactive necrosis were present in the cerebral white matter. In 1 case the malacic areas were not confined to the subcortical white matter but were microscopically visible in the cerebral cortex as well. An histopathological examination of the areas bordering on the malacic areas revealed rarefication of the white matter, perivascular haemorrhages, oedema and cellular infiltration composed mainly of plasma cells and eosinophiles. Many of the macrophages in these areas contained lipfuscin-like granules, but these granules also occurred extracellularly in the neuropil.

Phases in the growth of the reproductive organs and gametogenesis were followed in both males and females of Boophilus decoloratus (Koch, 1844). Special attention was given to the timing of meiosis, the production of mature spermiophores, mating and spermiophore relocation in the female. The main growth phase of the male testes takes place during the nymphal stage while that of the accessory gland complex takes place during the 4 days after moulting and before mating. The main growth phase of female ovaries and oviducts takes place during the post-mating period on the host and the previposition period. Meiosis in males takes place only after the attachment of the newly-moulted ticks; spematogenesis and spermiogenesis occur within a period of 4 days, after which pairing and spermatophore transfer take place. Meiosis was not observed in female ticks and it is concluded that this reduction division takes place only after spermiophore penetration of the oocytes and egg shell formation. Female ticks may be impregnated more than once, a maximum of 5 matings being deduced from counts of spermiophore capsules in the female seminal receptacle.

This hitherto unidentified disease was characterized by hypersensitivity, incoordination, a peculiar stiff-legged gait of the hind legs, severe generalized tumors of the sketetal muscles, progressive paresis, paralysis and constipation. The most notable gross pathological lesions were degenerative and necrotic changes in certain skeletal muscles, haemorrhages on the serosal surfaces, especially on the dorsal aspect of the rumen, and gastro-intestinal stasis. Microscopical examination of the central nervous system revealed cytopathological changes consisting of degeneration and necrosis of the large motor cells in the ventral horns of the spinal cord and bigger neurones in numerous nuclei of the medulla oblongata, midbrain and thalamus. By feeding the suspect ration and its component parts to cattle and sheep, it was possible to identify mouldy sorghum beer residue as the toxic component in the ration. A. clavatus, the dominant fungus on the toxic residue, was readily isolated in pure culture. The entire syndrome was then reproduced in a yearling Friesland steer dosed with pure cultures of the A. clavatus isolate grown on autoclaved non-toxic sorghum beer residue.

It is postulated that some quasi-deterministic code features (universality, connectedness, systematic degeneracy, symmetry, regularity and so on) resulted from unique (and therefore universal) relization of a stochastic evolutionary process. The evolution of real genetic systems should satisfy the principle of succession; that is, loss of a feature that is necessary for a genetic system means death to its carrier. The hypothesis of unique key coincidence is proposed which indicates the mechanisms of arising of the primary correspondence between the linear structures of polynucleotides and polypeptides. If the collinear coincidence was to appear in the key positions of pra-protein with, at least, some of the primitive properties of the pra-amino-acyl-t-RNA-synthetase required for the accelerated recognition of the key positions of pra-template, the positive feed-back mechanism in the system would be most short-circuited so that the repetitive reproduction of pra-synthetase would be much accelerated.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1012711"} {"pmid": "1012712", "title": "A cybernetic approach to the origin of the genetic coding mechanism.

The sequential fulfillment of the principle of succession necessarily guides the main steps of the genetic code evolution to be reflected in its structure. The general scheme of the code series formation is proposed basing on the idea of \"group coding\" (Woese, 1970). The genetic code supposedly evolved by means of successive divergence of pra-ARS's loci, accompanied by increasing specification of recognition capacity of amino acids and triplets. The sense of codons had not been changed on any step of stochastic code evolution. The formulated rules for code series formation produce a code version, similar to the contemporary one. Based on these rules the scheme of pra-ARS's divergence is proposed resulting in the grouping of amino acids by their polarity and size. Later steps in the evolution of the genetic code were probably based on more detailed features of the amino acids (for example, on their functional similarities like their interchangeabilities in isofunctional proteins).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1012712"} {"pmid": "1012710", "title": "Prebiotic condensation reactions in an aqueous medium: a review of condensing agents.", "content": "Prebiotic condensation reactions in an aqueous medium: a review of condensing agents.

A relatively simple, standardized hatching test was devised, tested and used to estimate the Schistosoma mansoni hatching rate for 88 St Lucian subjects selected by age, sex and intensity of infection. The hatching rate was dependent on the intensity of infection and rose proportionately with it. The rate also decreased with increasing age of the subject. Sex alone had no direct effect but there was a suggestion of an interaction between sex and age. These results suggest that several hatching tests are necessary, before and after treatment in schistosomicidal drug trials, to permit valid conclusions to be drawn. The hatching data are used in conjunction with survey results to calculate the contamination potential of different age groups in a population. School children (5-14 years old) are about twice as important as young adults (15-29 years old) who, nevertheless, contribute over a quarter of the total contamination potential. However, whereas school children are fairly accessible for mass chemotherapy control programmes, young adults often are not and, furthermore, involve problems associated with the treatment of women of child-bearing age.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1012745"} {"pmid": "1012746", "title": "Eimeria tenella: experimental studies on the development of resistance to robenidine.", "content": "Eimeria tenella: experimental studies on the development of resistance to robenidine.

The sampling stations reflected water temperatures which were both normal and greater than 10 degrees C above normal for the area. The acanthocephalan Neoechinorhynchus cylindratus was the dominant species found in the bass sampled. Incidences of infection for this parasite were generally greater than 95% regardless of location.

Significant differences, however, in the mean density of N. cylindratus per host in fish taken from the heated area as compared with unheated areas were noted. Turnover in the acanthocephalan population was measured by following the percentage of individuals less than 2 mm long.

Thus the low numbers of N. brasiliensis (1% of the dose) which develop in litters after 24 h, 4 day or 5 days suckling when mothers are injected and returned to their young immediately, represent skin invasion and not milk-borne infection. Taking precautions consistent with the foregoing, S. ratti equivalent to 28%, 45%, 45% and 48% of the dose were shown to be transmitted in the milk to suckling rats of 4 mothers injected with 4000 L 3 on day 18 post partum and 72 h before weaning.

Research on clinical judgment has produced conflicting information about effects of training on predictive accuracy, effects of the information available to the clinician, the correlates of accurate judgment, as well as the stability of such judgments.

The present study examined the accuracy of judges making longitudinal clinical judgments with systematic increments in available information. Six judges, two non-experienced first-year graduate students in psychology, two medium-experienced practicum students, and two advanced interns, were asked to make discriminations between test protocols belonging to men convicted of first and second degree murder and men convicted of crimes against property. A discriminant function analysis classified 83% of these protocols accurately. Levels of information were increased in four phases. Most of the judges discriminated at a 50% accuracy level. No substantial increment in accuracy across phases was found. Judges of low accuracy discriminated best with the addition of the statistical findings.

While lowering of temperature from baseline of 21--25 degrees C to 4--7 degrees C most typically led to increased running, consistently reduced running characterized a substantial number of individuals, especially those with relatively high baseline scores. When comparison trials were run at 27 degrees C, reduced activity was recorded for virtually all subjects. As temperature was elevated above 27 degrees C, however, there was in most cases an upturn. At 34 degrees C, 24-hr. running scores tended to exceed baseline level for about half the animals, and running during the light 12 hr. of the day was above baseline for virtually all. Analysis of the temporal distribution suggests that the thermoregulatory reduction of activity, readily demonstrated at the moderately warm temperature, is complicated by efforts to escape as the environment becomes aversively hot.

The results are presented of treatment in twenty-three patients with dissection of the thoracic aorta, in four of whom it was acute (less than 14 days' duration), and in nineteen chronic (more than 14 days' duration). Sixteen patients had Type I and II dissection (involving the ascending aorta) and five Type III (descending aorta at or distal to the origin of the left subclavian artery); in two, dissection complicated coarctation of the aorta in the usual site. Thirteen patients had aortic regurgitation. Three of the patients with acute dissection were treated medically; two, both with Type I dissection, died, and the third, with Type III, survived. The remaining acute patient was treated surgically and also died. Of the patients with chronic dissection, eight were treated medically and eleven surgically. None of the medical group died in hospital; three died between 3 months and 1 year, and five have survived from periods of 12-72 months. Eleven patients with chronic dissection were treated surgically; four died in hospital at or shortly after operation; and the remaining seven lived for periods of 12-84 months. The presentation, indications for surgical treatment and results are discussed. It is concluded that surgical treatment of chronic dissection may carry a higher initial mortality than medical, but that there may be slightly better overall long term results in the former. As this series was not selected randomly, because patients with complications were selected for surgery, and there are only a few patients in each group, the results do not permit firm conclusion regarding the relative merits of medical and surgical treatment. It is suggested that all patients should initially be treated medically but that surgical treatment should be considered if the dissection continues, if aortic regurgitation is severe, if an aneurysm develops or enlarges, if cardiac tamponade develops or there is evidence of progressive involvement of the branches of the aorta. Attention is drawn to the important syndrome of chronic dissecting aneurysm of the ascending aorta with severe aortic regurgitation which requires definitive surgical treatment and aortic valve replacement.

Eighteen of the patients had scleritis: eleven of these had evidence of connective tissue disease and three of them had temporal arteritis. Twelve patients had episcleritis: six of them had a collagen disease and one of them developed temporal arteritis. This high incidence of temporal arteritis in association with scleritis has not been previously reported. It is important to diagnose and treat overt temporal arteritis early with parenteral steroids so that ischaemic papillopathy can be avoided. A higher incidence of collagen diseases than previously described is reported in episcleritis. It is thought that this is secondary to selection since patients with the usual self-limiting episcleritis are not normally referred for further in-patient investigation. In no patient was more than one significant diagnosis made. There was no significant medical illness in only 11% of patients with scleritis and 33% of patients with episcleritis.

This analysis attempts to utilize natural history controls to answer the question as to whether coronary surgery prolongs life in comparison to medical management.

The Duke University Medical Center series of concurrent operated and non-operated patients is reviewed to demonstrate the difference of prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease and the complexities involved in answering the question. It is concluded that, on average, coronary surgery does not prolong life in comparison to medical management over the span of 2-5 years.

In Experiment 3 the effects of 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, and 1.6 mg/kg of angiotensin II on schedule dependent lever pressing and schedule induced drinking and licking were determined. Results demonstrate that angiotensin II decreased lever pressing and increased schedule induced water consumption without a concomitant increase in licking.

Although the hterozygous animals showed improved escape performance at the higher shock intensity, their avoidance behavior was not improved.

A possible second effect was a homogenization of sleep patterns--with poor sleepers exhibiting increases of activated sleep and good sleepers a reduction. Measurement of in vitro brain oxygen consumption indicated that mice treated with alpha-MSH exhibit an 18% reduction in respiration of the brain stem section which includes the locus coeruleus, but did not reliably change respiration in forebrain cortices. alpha-MSH also produced a modest 14% increase of plasma glucose.

Thirty intact dogs were studied to determine digoxin concentration in various tissues after ventricular tachycardia had been induced by digoxin infusion. A control group was infused solely with digoxin. A second group was made acutely hypokalemic by glucose-insulin infusion before the digoxin infusion. A third group was infused with glucose and digoxin to determine the effect of increased blood glucose levels and osmalarity on the induction of ventricular tachycardia. Results were: (1) The amount of digoxin infused to produce ventricular tachycardia did not differ getween the normal and hypokalemic groups. (2) The concentration of digoxin in various parts of the heart, other muscle tissue, renal cortex, and liver did not differ between the normal and acutely hypokalemic dogs although the amount excreted in bile and urine was reduced in hypokalemia. (3) Acute hypokalemia did not sensitize the myocardium to the arrhythmogenic effects of digoxin. (4) Ventricular tachcardia occurred at a similar plasma digoxin level in normal and acutely hypokalemic dogs. (5) In dogs with a lowered plasma potassium level, junctional tachycardia occurred whereas it did not occur in normal dogs or those with only a high blood glucose level. (6) Ventricular tachycardia occurred in the hyperglycemic dogs at a plasma digoxin level of 170 ng/ml, which was significantly greater than in the other experiments (7) Acute hyperglycemia reduced the mean rate of myocaridal uptake of digoxin into atria and right and left ventricular tissue; and the concentration of digoxin in atria, left ventricle, and interventricular septum was lower at the time of ventricular tachycardia than occurred in normal dogs. (8) Lowering the plasma potassium level in the presence of acute hyperglycemia, which occurred with the glucose-insulin infusion, did increase the myocardial uptake of digoxin. Similar effects of hyperglycemia were noted on mean hepatic uptake and excretion of digoxin and also the renal uptake of the glycoside.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013176"} {"pmid": "1013177", "title": "Binding of an opiate, levorphanol, to intact neuroblastoma cells in continuous culture.", "content": "Binding of an opiate, levorphanol, to intact neuroblastoma cells in continuous culture. Mouse neuroblastoma cells in continuous culture, incubated for 1 to 2 days in the presence of 10--6 M levorphanol or morphine, were found to become tolerant to and dependent on those biologically active opiates. Examination of the interaction between levorphanol and the whole neuroblastoma cell suggested that levorphanol was binding to stereospecific opiate receptor sites. This binding was time and temperature dependent, and saturable at concentrations greater than 10--5 M levorphanol. Competition by other opiates for levorphanol sites correlated with their biological activity. This is the first evidence for saturable, stereospecific opiate binding in a homogeneous population of unhybridized cells in continuous culture.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013177"} {"pmid": "1013178", "title": "On the Comorosan effect.", "content": "On the Comorosan effect. A possible explanation for the necessary and sufficient irradiation to produce the controversial Comorosan effect is discussed. Using a modified quantum theory requiring a definition of the relation of four parameters of a light signal instead of the usual two, the lack of superposition of irradiating sources is accounted for as well as the ineffectiveness of all parts of the total visible spectrum. The most effective average wavelength for obtaining the effect is unique merely because of the appropriateness of the bandwidth of the filter. Changing the filter bandwidth in a way related to a change in the average wavelength should produce the effect at other average wavelengths. The storage of energy within the irradiated substance is considered to be due to either a resonance effect with photon annihilation or a Raman effect with photon scattering.", "url":

Investigations of native blood of healthy people and of patients with acute leukemia have shown that the disease might be caused by a strongly reducing substance, which is presumably a virus. Evidence for this conclusion was obtained mainly by electron spin resonance (ESR) studies and by the determination of the catalase activity. ESR spectra of leukemic blood revealed an additional signal not present in spectra of healthy blood. Investigation of different blood fractions has shown that this signal is caused by a species present in the leukocytes only. Addition of reduced glutathione to healthy blood immediately after blood drawing resulted in the same signal. On the contrary, oxidizing substances, such as oxidized glutathione and KMnO4, added to the blood of leukemic patients immediately after its drawing, caused a disappearance of this signal depending on the concentration. Since the strongly reducing substances causes a reduction in the concentration of the oxidizing substances in biological systems, the H2O2 levels should be also affected and, thus, the catalase activity, too. As expected, the activity of this enzyme in the leukemic blood seems to be considerably lower than in healthy blood.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013288"} {"pmid": "1013289", "title": "Comparison of X-ray and gamma-ray dose-response curves for pink somatic mutations in Tradescantia clone 02.", "content": "Comparison of X-ray and gamma-ray dose-response curves for pink somatic mutations in Tradescantia clone 02.

In order to test whether this influences the initial, linear component in the dose-effect relations, a comparison was made between dose-response curves for pink somatic mutations in Tradescantia clone 02 stamen hairs following X and gamma irradiations. Absorbed doses ranged from 2.66 to 300 rad.The results are in agreement with predictions made on the basis of microdosimetric data.

Our data clearly show that the diffusion was not implicated in the gas transfer defect. The clinical implications of this little studied and less mentioned respiratory defect are discussed. Since the defect may enhance the risk of sickling crises, it should be measured in each individual patient, for appropriate prophylactic measures. After accidents, pre and post-operatively and during acute respiratory illness, the defect should be again reevaluated.

It is the author's contention that if we wish to investigate immunotherapy for cancer in laboratory models, the model must reproduce or at least mimic the biological conditions which are encountered in clinical oncologic practice. The usual experimental animal tumor systems do not satisfy this requirement. They are usually studied as primary transplants of rapidly progressive tumors which kill in a few weeks, and experimental treatments are usually started within a day of two after implantation, before the tumor is detectable by ordinary methods of examination. In clinical oncology the existence of cancer is seldom suspected until it reaches a clinically detectable mass, and it is then treated by various established methods which, if not curative, at least reduce tumor mass temporarily before the tumor recurs locally or at distant sites. A cancer patient, therefore, has a rather prolonged exposure to his tumor and an opportunity to develop immune and other biological responses to it. Present animal models are therefore inadequate for immunotherapy research. This paper examines the prerequisites for more accetable experimental tumor models for immunotherapeutic research, describes a step-by-step investigation leading to the development of what to seems to be more appropriate models, and describes preliminary immunotherapy studies in one of the models, in which parabiosis is used as a means of transfering antitumor resistance to the \"patients\" from specificially immunized donors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013498"} {"pmid": "1013502", "title": "Genetic predisposition to breast cancer.", "content": "Genetic predisposition to breast cancer.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013502"} {"pmid": "1013503", "title": "Steroid receptor proteins and regulation of growth in mammary tumors.", "content": "Steroid receptor proteins and regulation of growth in mammary tumors. The failure of the estrogen receptor test to predict unequivocally whether a breast cancer will respond to endocrine therapy has prompted us to re-examine the spectrum of responses that might be expected in a hormone-sensitive tissue. Three basic responses are recognized; initiation of DNA synthesis and cell proliferation; negative feedback; and autophagia. The expression of these responses may be partly or totally deficient in tumors. In some tumors, resistance to hormone may result from the lack of entry of hormone into the nucleus; in others the interaction of hormone with chromatin is probably abnormal Evidence is presented in support of the idea that the presence of steroid in the nucleus is strongly correlated to the presence of cytoplasmic receptor. The results also suggest that there is a strong link between the presence of steroid in the nucleus and the initiation of DNA synthesis. Finally the disappearance of nuclear receptor and the onset of autophagia seem to be related catabolic events.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013503"} {"pmid": "1013504", "title": "Some thoughts concerning the primary therapy of breast cancer.", "content": "Some thoughts concerning the primary therapy of breast cancer.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013504"} {"pmid": "1013506", "title": "The role of chemotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer.", "content": "The role of chemotherapy in the treatment of breast cancer. A wide variety of approaches are being applied to the therapy of breast cancer. Treatment begins with a biopsy followed by mastectomy to remove the primary tumor. The risk category must be determined and, at present, an axillary dissection appears to be required; in the future, tumor cell markers may replace the role of an axillary dissection in the determination of risk category (TORMEY et al., 1975). If the nodes are positive, adjuvant chemotherapy and possibly immunotherapy should be considered. A positive estrogen receptor assay suggests that patients may also benefit from endocrine treatments. If it is negative, the chances of responding to hormonotherapy are very limited, except, perhaps, for anti-estrogens (McGUIRE, et al., 1975). Adjuvant therapy for patients with negative nodes is not recommended at this time; this view may have to be modified as the results of current adjuvant studies become available. We have at hand the means to improve the cure rate of patients with breast cancer. We are getting better diagnostic methods and find more patients with negative nodes. We know more about the primary treatment and have systemic modalities that are effective in the adjuvant situation.

The respired gas was continuously sampled an end-tidal PCO2 and PO2 of sequences of thirty breaths were measured by fast analyzers. The mean value of alveolar PCO2 was 29 torr at high altitude; 35 torr at 745 torr; and 40 torr in hyperbary. The changes of PCO2 indicate different alveolar ventilations which result mainly from the changes of the chemoreceptor drive which is enhanced at high altitude and decreased in hyperbary. The scattering of PCO2 is about the same at the three pressures. The scattering of PO2 is less at high altitude than at sea level, and less at sea level than in hyperbary. On a PCO2 vs PO2 diagram end-tidal PCO2 and PO2 points form elliptical clouds whose mean slopes decrease with the increase of total pressure. The characteristics of the dispersion of the alveolar pressures and of the slopes of the alveolar clouds depend on several factors among which the relevant steepness (i.e. capacitance) of the O2 and CO2 blood abosrption curves at the three pressures presumably plays the major role.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013514"} {"pmid": "1013515", "title": "Interaction of convection and diffusion in pulmonary gas transport.", "content": "Interaction of convection and diffusion in pulmonary gas transport. Normal human subjects inspired various volumes of a normoxic argon mixture containing low concentrations of several biologically inert tracer gases with markedly different diffusivities (helium, neon, and sulfur hexafluoride). The behavior of Ne, Ar, and SF6 could be predicted on the basis of axial dispersion due to differences in diffusivity. For example, neon, having the highest diffusivity of the three, was more uniformly distributed within the bronchial tree than either argon or SF6. The behavior of helium, however, was not consistent with predictions based solely on axial diffusion. Contrary to expectation, the early portion of expiration was helium enriched while gas assumed to come from the alveolar regions contained relatively less helium than the other gases. Results of this study suggest that radial diffusion during convective bulk flow may play a significant role in intrapulmonary gas transport if relative diffusivity is extremely large.

Deflations during the expiratory phase revealed a prolonged central inhibitory state with reduced rate of decay late in expiration.

All of the 5 IgA2 proteins inhibited the binding of IgM Se and IgM Ba to staphylococci, whereas the 48 proteins that reacted negatively in the two inhibition assays belonged to the IgA1 subclass. These findings show that the ability to react with staphylococci is a property of the IgA2 subclass. IgM proteins may also be divided into two groups based on different reactivities with protein A. It is proposed to call the two IgM subclasses IgM1 and IgM2, where the latter is defined by ability to react with protein A.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013646"} {"pmid": "1013650", "title": "Immune response in asymptomatic paraproteinemia.

We have examined the segregation of in vitro responsiveness to PHA in (AS X BN)F1 X BN backcross rats and have tried to correlate it with other characters that vary in backcross rats. In vitro responsiveness is regulated by one or a few loci, is linked to the in vitro responsiveness to B lymphocyte mitogens and the in vivo antibody response to the mitogenic fraction of PHA, but is not linked to the major histocompatibility locus (Ag-B) nor to the frequency of short-lived small Ig-negative lymphocytes in blood. Lymphocytes from high-responder rats have a shorter lag period before the onset of DNA synthesis in vitro than low-responder rats, and possibly also a higher number of in vitro responsing cells.

The IgG is attached to lymphocytes through its Fc region and binds to a trypsin-resistant but pronase-sensitive receptor (considered an Fc receptor). The ES rosette technique facilitates studies of the interaction of IgG with Fc receptor sites; the binding of any IgG preparation reacting with protein A of Staphylococcus aureus (SpA) can be studied by the technique. Inhibition of rosette formation by SpA was used for quantitation of IgG fixed to the cell surface (that is, the number of Fc receptors/cell). The sensitivity of the method permits quantitation of less than 10(5) IgG molecules bound to the Fc receptors.

This was the number predicted to obtain a statistically significant end-point on current knowledge of morbidity and mortality in this age range. The initial aim was to mount a trial of feasibility with the following objectives: (1) To recruit up to 1000 adults of both sexes aged 35 to 64 years with diastolic pressures in the 90-109 mm Hg range. (2) To determine the acceptability of the trial to asymptomatic subjects as well as their physicians. (3) To show that selected drugs (bendrofluazide and propranolol) adequately control pressure without undue side-effects. (4) To assess the psychological effects of inclusion in the trial. (5) To examine the cost and efficiency of different types of recruitment and supervision. These objectives have now been largely achieved with over 1500 subjects in the study at 2 1/2 years and a drop-out rate of about 13% in all. It appears that the best method of recruitment and supervision is through family practices with supporting staff, particularly in the screening phase. Both the selected drugs reduce the blood pressure significantly and although the placebo groups also show a maintained fall of pressure, the difference from the treated groups is significant. There is no evidence of increased psychological stress by inclusion in the trial and those with psychological symptoms at the outset improve in comparison with their control subjects outside the trial.

The systemic hemodynamic was investigated in 145 young male patients with borderline hypertension and 85 control subjects. Response of the cardiac output, stroke volume and the heart rate to sequential parasympathetic, beta-adrenergic and alpha-adrenergic blockade was used for assessment of the autonomic nervous tone. These investigations suggest that the apparently \"innocent\" minimal blood pressure elevation in borderline hypertension is associated with a number of physiologic abnormalities: The cardiac output, heart rate and stroke volume can be elevated. In all patients the peripheral resistance is abnormal. An abnormal distribution of plasma renin values is detectable. The plasma volume is decreased in a proportion of patients. A number of these abnormalities can be explained by a neurogenic mechanism. The elevation of the cardiac output is entirely neurogenic. In a substantial minority of patients, the elevation of peripheral resistance is attributable to increased sympathetic drive. Indirect evidence indicates that the plasma renin elevation in borderline hypertension may also be neurogenic. Hypothetically the decreased plasma volume may stem from sympathetic effects on postcapillary vessels, but at the present there is no experimental evidence of support this view. The change in autonomic function in borderline hypertension involves both the sympathetic and parasympathetic efferents. Increased sympathetic stimulation is coupled with decrease parasympathetic inhibition. This points toward abnormal integration of the autonomic control, presumably in the medulla oblongata. The mechanism of the autonomic abnormality is not fully elucidated. The role of baroreceptors requires further investigation.

A comparison was made of measurements obtained from seven normal subjects and five patients with airways obstruction not experiencing inspiratory dyspnoea at rest. Measurements were also obtained when inspiratory dyspnoea was induced in the normal subjects by adding an inspiratory resistance or by voluntarily increasing lung volume. Compared with the controls the inspiratory muscle strength of the patients was reduced but was not significantly less than that of the patients without inspiratory dyspnoea. The pressure required to produce inspiratory flow was significantly greater when inspiratory dyspnoea was present (P = 0-01). However, there was considerable overlap in the pressures of those with and without inspiratory dyspnoea. A better relationship was obtained when muscle strength was considered. The ratio of inspiratory muscle strength to the pressure required to produce flow was 0-24 +/- 0-07 (mean +/- SD) in patient with inspiratory dyspnoea, 0-10 +/- 0-03 in patients without inspiratory dyspnoea, and 0-033 +/- 0-019 in normal subjects.

The pattern of deposition within the respiratory tract of potentially harmful particulates is a major factor in assessing any risk from individual and community exposures. Although the trachea is the most easily observed of the conductive airways, very little information concerning its particle collection characteristics is available, information which is essential for a complete and realistic description of particle deposition patterns within the entire respiratory tract. Data on tracheal deposition are also needed for development of accurate predictive models for particle deposition. The pattern of particle deposition in the trachea, and its relation to air flow, was studied in a hollow cast of the human larynx-tracheobronchial tree. Results were compared with data obtained in humans in vivo and from previous studies in hollow casts. In addition, the relevance of tracheal deposition in the hollow cast test system to deposition in vivo was examined by a direct comparison of deposition in a cast prepared from the lungs of donkeys previously studied in a series of in vivo tests. The disturbance of the air flow within the trachea caused by the larynx promoted the deposition of suspended particulates throughout the length of the trachea, and especially in proximal regions. This proximal deposition was due both to direct impaction from the air jet coming from the glottis and to effects of the tubulent flow. Turbulence produced inhomogenous deposition patterns within the trachea for particles of all sizes, although its effect was more pronounced as size decreased. Tracheal deposition in the human cast was within the range of normal in vivo tracheal depostion only when a larynx was used during cast test exposures; this emphasizes the need for the use of realistic experimental test systems for the study of particle deposition patterns. The relative patterns of deposition in casts of the donkey trachea and in the same tracheas in vivo were similar.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013939"} {"pmid": "1013940", "title": "Pattern of total and regional lung function in subjects with bronchoconstriction induced by 15-me PGF2 alpha.", "content": "Pattern of total and regional lung function in subjects with bronchoconstriction induced by 15-me PGF2 alpha. Closing volume (single breath nitrogen test), regional ventilation and perfusion (using intravenous xenon-133), and total lung function (TLC, VC, and FEV) were measured before and after intramuscular administration of 250 mug 15-methyl prostaglandin F2alpha (15-me PGF2alpha) in 10 healthy women. The cardiac output was measured with the Minnesota impedance cardiograph model 304A and the transthoracic impedance was used as an expression of the thoracic fluid volume. The slope of the alveolar plateau on the closing volume tracing showed a 271% increase 20 minutes after the prostaglandin administration, at which time the closing volume per cent (CV%) had decreased (P less than 0-01) and the closing capacity (CC%) had increased (P less than 0-05). Vital capacity (VC) decreased (P less than 0-01), residual volume (RV) increased (P less than 0-01), and the total lung capacity (TLC) remained unchanged. The maximal decrease (9%) in FEV1 was seen after 20 minutes. All these measurements except the slope of the alveolar plateau returned to control levels after 60 minutes. The redistribution of regional ventilation was more pronounced than that of the regional pulmonary blood flow. No change was observed in cardiac output and transthoracic impedance. None of the patients experienced any dyspnoea. Our results are consistent with a more pronounced effect of prostaglandin F2alpha on the small airways (the alveolar plateau) than on the larger airways (FEV1). In cases where an increase in the slope of the alveolar plateau is observed, the closing volume per cent should not be used as a measurement of the lung disease.

PGF2 alpha levels were measured by radioimmunoassay. The seven cardiac patients were found to have transpulmonary PGF2 alpha differences of 47-88%, indicating metabolism of the PG in the lungs. A patient with extensive bronchiectasis had an apparently normal transpulmonary PGF2alpha difference despite gross abnormalities in routine lung function tests. A patient with primary pulmonary arterial hypertension showed no metabolism of PGF2alpha in the pulmonary circulation.

Sputum was prepared by dialysis and high-speed centrifugation methods. Results showed that it was possible to detect precipitating antibody in the sputum, and the rate was increased when both methods were used. A discrepancy was noted between the detection rate in the sputum and serum. This, combined with the lack of correlation between sputum and serum immunoglobulins, lack of relationship between bronchial inflammation and sputum immunoglobulins, and the lack of IgM in the sputum suggested that the antibody and immunoglobulin were locally produced. Sputum IgA (7S) in patients with chronic bronchitis was significantly lower (P less than 0-05) than that found in patients with cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. Significant differences (P less than 0-05) were also noted in serum IgG levels between patients with chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, and cystic fibrosis while serum IgM levels in patients with chronic bronchitis were significantly lower (P less than 0-05) when compared to serum levels in patients with cystic fibrosis.

When the animals were sacrificed at intervals after the procedure, the cerebral microvasculature was demonstrated by injecting a suspension a lamp black into the carotid artery. This revealed that multiple filling defects were present in the microcirculation of the brain immmediately after CPB and for two days thereafter. However, by seven days the microvascular blockade had disappeared, and the vascular blockade had disappeared, and the vascular pattern of the brain had returned to normal.

It appeared that in mares suffering from endometritis the concentrations of pregnenolone, of the compound \"5.4\", and of progesterone in the blood during the first 2 days of the heat period were significantly higher than in normal cycling mares, in which the concentrations of all steroids were less than or equal to 1 ng/ml. In five endometritis mares the \"5.4\" and progesterone concentrations decreased after the first days of the heat period, and at about two days before ovulation the values were comparable to those of normal cycling mares. Eight mares suffering from a severe endometritis did not ovulate, their oestrous period was prolonged, and the follicles became atretic. Possibly the relatively high progesterone content found in these mares, caused the reduction of the follicular growth, and this might explain the prolonged oestrous period which is observed in many mares suffering from endometritis. Often we observed in post-partum mares the same changes in concentration as in endometritis mares. An elevated level of these steroids was sometimes found in the blood a few days after foaling and, in four of eight post-partum mares, during the foal heat. Most probably this was caused by infection or stimulation of the uterus. The hypothesis is advanced that progesterone originating in the uterus can influence ovarian activity and that it may be one of the factors responsible for the anoestrous periods which can occur in mares with endometritis and in post-partum mares.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013974"} {"pmid": "1013991", "title": "Human enterokinase.", "content": "Human enterokinase.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013991"} {"pmid": "1013996", "title": "Effects of varying pacemaker sites on left ventricular performance.", "content": "Effects of varying pacemaker sites on left ventricular performance.

The right atrium and five ventricular sites (the inflow and outflow tracts and apex of the right ventricle, apex and lateral wall of the left ventricle) were stimulated electronically at a given rate, ranging from 130 to 190 per min. When cardiac performance during ventricular pacing was compared with those during right atrial pacing, the former uniformly caused a diminution of cardiac output and systemic blood pressure, without reduction of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Ventricular function curves, in which left ventricular stroke work was related to left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, shifted downwards and to the right during ventricular pacing. Stimulation frequency did not alter these variables. It was considered that the left ventricular dysfunction in ventricular pacing resulted from the absence of atrial contribution to ventricular filling, mitral regurgitation present and asynchronous ventricular contraction. No significant difference of cardiac performance was demonstrated by changing the site of ventricular pacing, suggesting that the mode of ventricular depolarization itself was not relevant to a decrease in cardiac performance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1013996"} {"pmid": "1013997", "title": "Combined liver-spleen-kidney scintigraphy and subsequent subtraction of the kidney scintiphotograph in the evaluation of displaced kidney.", "content": "Combined liver-spleen-kidney scintigraphy and subsequent subtraction of the kidney scintiphotograph in the evaluation of displaced kidney.

Polypeptide patterns of red cell membranes in these hematological disorders were essentially similar to those of normal ghosts. Analysis of the supernatant by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed that this reduction was mainly due to the reduced amount of peripheral proteins extracted. The extraction of peripheral proteins by sulfhydryl reagents was accompanied by shape changes resulting in the formation of membrane vesicles, suggesting an important role of peripheral proteins in the maintenance of ghost shape.

A differential market count at the edge of the red soils in two of these areas showed a raised prevalence among people living on these soils, similar to that observed in Ethiopia. The observations confirm that the disease occurs in barefooted people who dig in soil developed from volcanic rocks, under tropical conditions, at altitudes around 1500 m.

Then they were incubated in the cold with different, 125I-conjugated proteins and the amount of protein bound to the blastocysts was determined by radioassay. Three radiolabelled proteins: human serum albumin (125I-HSA), human serum transferrin (125I-HST) and normal rabbit IgG (125I-RIgG) were tested and it was found that the uptake of each protein markedly increased between 14 and 24 hours of estrogen-activation. It was possible to partially block the binding of 125I-HSA and 125I-RIgG with the respective unlabelled protein. Unlabelled RIgG could also partially block the uptake of 125I-HSA whereas HSA did not impede the binding of 125I-RIgG. During delay of implantation the protein binding was low and approximately the same as after 14 hours of activation. However, at 18 and 24 hours of activation protein uptake increased gradually.

Familial aggregation of patients with ovarian carcinoma is unusual. A family with four affected members in three consecutive generations is described. The tumors were all of the serous papillary adenocarcinoma type. The pattern of appearance of the malignant disorder in the present family may be explained as the result of transmission of a dominant mutant autosomal gene. The future long term management of such a family might include prophylactic oophorectomy in certain family members, and possibly selective terminations of pregnancies with female fetuses in high-risk women. A family with serous papillary adenocarcinoma of the ovary occurring in 4 members belonging to 3 consecutive generations is described. This suggests the transmission of a mutant dominant gene as a cause of the site-specific cancer. The malignant ovarian disorder has been restricted to descendants of 1 of 2 female branches of the family. In the affected family branch, 2 have had their ovaries removed prophylactically but histologically their ovarian tissues were found to be normal. There are 2 others, aged 8 and 17, who are considered to be at risk. Prophylactic ovariectomy may be indicated when they have the number of children they want. There has been no evidence of male transmission of an alleged mutant gene. In the affected branch of the family prenatal sex determination and selective abortion of female fetuses in future pregnancies may eliminate the adverse gene from this family.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1014170"} {"pmid": "1014172", "title": "Uromucoid in the rat: its isolation, localization in the kidney and concentration in the urine.", "content": "Uromucoid in the rat: its isolation, localization in the kidney and concentration in the urine.

Pneumonectomy was performed in 33 patients, partial resection--in 31, thoracotomy--in 10. The pressure was measured by catheterization of the right heart, using the Valdman apparatus. No complications relative to catheterization of the right heart were noted. Intraoperative observations over CVP dynamics with due account of other hemodynamic indices, general patient's state and the operative stage provide for additional valuable data of the state of a patient operated upon. During the first days after pneumo- and lobectomy CVP was found to be decreased compared with initial values, that seems to be related with hypovolemia. Studies on the circulating blood volume and its components, carried out in 18 patients, have proved the presence of hypolvolemia in patients under consideration.

Despite the considerable progress made in recent decades, and perhaps even partly because of the very uneven distribution of this progress, infant mortality is still very high in some regions, whereas in other regions it is tending, if not disappear completely, at least to become numerically negligible even though remaining a matter of social concern. Whereas in tropical Africa almost one child in five dies before its first birthday, in Japan or Scandinavia it is one child in a hundred. Infant mortality rate varies between these two extremes, but there is a substantial gulf between the \"most developed\" regions which are all below 30% and the \"least developed\" regions which fall into three categories: 65-100% (Latin America, Eastern Asia except Japan), around 140% (Northern Africa, South Asia, Melanesia), and about 200% (topical Africa). These inequalities between countries overlap with inequalities between social groupings by urbanization, social/occupational level, education and income, are all variables that are correlated with infant mortality to a greater or lesser degree. The pace of the progress achieved since 1950 seems to be independent of the starting level. Contrary to the development of mortality at other ages, it is not in the countries with high mortality that infant mortality has decreased most. The pace of reduction divides the most developed regions into three distinct groups: very rapid reduction (Japan), rapid reduction (Scandinavia, Western Europe, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe), and slower reduction (British Isles, Northern America and Australia/New Zealand). Thus Japan rapidly caught up with Western Europe and the English-speaking countries and has now reached the same level as Scandinavia. On the other hand, the English-speaking countries have fallen behind the Scandinavian countries and are now at par with Western Europe. The reduction of infant mortality mainly concerned deaths of children over one month of age or even over one week of age and otherwise is due to reduction of infectious diseases. Consequently, in the most developed regions mortality is highly concentrated in the first week of life and is mainly attributable to the \"causes of perinatal mortality\" and the \"congenital\" anomalies\". In the least developed regions, on the other hand, the infectious or parasitic diseases are still of decisive importance and the risk of death remains very high throughout the first year of life and even beyond. The risk may be even higher during the second year, when weaning takes place abruptly and results in serious difficulties in feeding.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1014712"} {"pmid": "1014713", "title": "[World health-related indicators].", "content": "[World health-related indicators].

Interpretation of factor analysis of 18 metabolic parameters of the bovine lens leads to the determination of the following criteria of lens metabolism: Factor 1: Biologic aging of the lens 33.9%; Factor 2: Glycolysis regulation 17.7%; Factor 3: Topography of lens metabolism 8.7%; Factor 4: Regulation of fructose breakdown 7.9%; Factor 5: Substrate depot 6.6%; Factor 6: Kinases 6.3%. These results could partly be experimentally verified. This interpretation of factor analysis has been an attempt to fit biochemical processes to formal statistical parameters. There was no indication that any of the variables under investigation were indendently responsible for the age dependend changes. However, the set-up made evident that rather complex biochemical influences of different intensity bring about the observed aging phenomena. It may be assumed that on or the other of these variables acts as a \"triggering mechanism\". Age related disturbances in the biochemical balance may be initiated by the glycolysis regulation factor, the importance of which is expressed by its high portion of 17%. Here changes in the ratio of reduced and oxydized coenzymes may act as a \"triggering mechanism\" (26, 30). Topography of lens metabolism, carbohydrate breakdown via metabolic pathways, the presence of substrate depots, and the internal regulation of the kinases are, according to their portion in factor loading, of about equal importance with respect to aging processes, however, factors 1 and 2, with a 50% portion, must be given precedence in any consideration. Factor 1, interpreted as \"biological lens aging\", yields about 1/3 of the information on the age influence on lens metabolism. This factor stands independent in being loaded by lens weight, which is the accepted age representative. However, lens weight means protein as well as the process of protein synthesis. It may be assumed that this factor represents a connective link between protein and carbohydrate metabolism, since it is well known that changes in protein belong to the most remarkable age disturbances (31,32), and that the quality of the proteins is dependent on the period of its synthesis (18,33).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1014735"} {"pmid": "1014783", "title": "Bilirubin in liquor amnii.

From the stage of elementary body uptake through formation and multiplication of reticulate bodies, the host cellular changes consisted mainly of displacement of cellular organelles by the enlarging chlamydial inclusions in the cytoplasm of infected cells. Beginning with the formation of condensing forms and elementary bodies from 20 to 30 hours after infection, cellular organelles became altered and progressively damaged. The damage was initially degenerative and then necrotic. It consisted of loss of free ribosomes and polysomes, dilation and vesiculation of the endoplasmic reticulum network and vesiculation and loss of microvilli. The specific granules of enterochromaffin cells and the mucous droplets of goblet cells were reduced in number. The mitochondria and nuclei were affected last.

The only problem is that arising from the anesthesia required to carry out this intubation and from the consequences of this anesthesia on the waking period, which should be brief in order to avoid, after detubation, any reactions which might induce excessively deep sleep at that moment. In this respect we found etomidate, with its short duration of action, even after reinjection, just as interesting as methohexital.

The cardiovascular function was less altered with etomidate (less occurrence of tachycardia, blood pressure drops or systolo-diastolic pinching). The etomidate dosage chosen more often gave an immediate satisfactory sleep. However, with methohexital induction, less signs of awakening were observed during the surgical procedure. The frequent postoperative somnolence also points, although indirectly, to a longer residual effect of the barbiturate. Both drugs sometimes gave erythema. The injection of etomidate was more frequently painful in the arm. On the other hand, hiccups occurred with methohexital induction only. Etomidate induced myoclonia in one-third of the cases premedicated with diazepam and after preliminary injection of a minimal amount of fentanyl. Without these precautions, myoclonia can occur in two-thirds of the patients. However, these myoclonia are bothersome and of prolonged duration in rare instances and would be of real annoyance only when this drug would be used alone for surgical procedures of short duration where perfect patient immobility is required.

As both systems are interdependent, any modification of the equilibrium of one of them reverberates into the other's, and changes the general conditions of both of them. Reviewing, at the same time, Minkowski's views on schizophrenia, the author sets forth the production of an inner world that becomes autonomous and possesses a degree of reality that overwhelms the true outer world. There is not only the splitting from reality, but the creation of a whole fantastic field, in which the individual participates with all his vital availability.

Numerous venous blood samples were drawn for the first eight hours after ingestion of the drug, and the concentration of unmetabolized sulfonamide in serum was assessed by spectrophotometry. The observations indicate that concomitant food intake alters neither absorption rate, peak concentration, time to reach peak concentration, elimination rate, nor total amount of sulfonamide reaching the general circulation. Thus, the absorption of orally administered sulfaisodimidine is not at all affected by concomitant intake of food. This finding contrasts with previous observations on some other sulfonamides, and it may signify a therapeutic advantage of sulfaisodimidine. In addition, the amount absorbed showed only a little interindividual variation. This suggests that the use of standardized size and interval of sulfaisodimidine dosage can be recommended.

Pre-ovulatory follicles show highly vascularized thecae and invaginations of the follicular epithelium. Follicular atresia generally occurs in follicles with polymorphic granulosae, in post-ovulatory ovaries. Their granulosa cells give rist to phagocytes which, after removing the ooplasmic contents, degenerate, while the theca interna cells are hypertrophied to form the interstitial gland cells in the walls of degenerated follicles.

Systematic group differences, especially in similar variables, are supposed to be of greater importance than isolated differences. The variables giving deviations from the reference planes or the diaphyseal axis, show the largest and the consistent left-right differences. In linear variables Lapps and females show lower mean values than males and Norwegians, respecitvely. In linear variables giving deviations from the reference planes, in angular variables and in indices, Lapps usually show the highest mean values. Lapps tend to show larger sex differences in variables giving deviations from the reference planes or the diaphyseal axis. However, the sex differences within the Lapps are small. The variations of the tibia are supposed to be the results of mechanical factors in bone remodelling. The epiphyseal-metaphyseal parts tend to have a constant shape, the adaptations to non-axial loading predominantly appearing in the diaphysis. The relation between the weight bearing line and the diaphyseal axis is discussed, particularly regarding the ML stability mechanism of the knee joint. The occurrence of torsion and its influence upon the AP and ML projected values regarding the relationship between the epiphyses and the diaphysis are discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1015362"} {"pmid": "1015397", "title": "Statistical mechanics of protein folding, unfolding and fluctuation.", "content": "Statistical mechanics of protein folding, unfolding and fluctuation. Conformational fluctuations of globular proteins in the native state and the processes of folding and unfolding are studied from the statistical mechanical point of view. 1) It is pointed out that the formation of the native specific conformation of a globular protein is not a result of random sampling of minimum energy conformations. This fact provides a motivation for the study of the processes of folding, or the paths of folding, of proteins. The processes of folding and unfolding are shown to be statistical mechanical in nature. 2) The conformational (folding and unfolding) transitions in globular proteins are compared with the helix-coil transitions in polypeptides. The gradedness of the latter transition is shown to be due to the fact that the phenomenon is of an essentially one-dimensional system. The former transition is characterized ideally by the fact that it is of the all-or-none type. 3) A lattice model of proteins is introduced. \"A protein molecule\" is defined as a chain of noninteresting units of a given length on a two-dimensional square lattice. The copolymeric character of protein molecules is incorporated into the model by specificities of interunit interactions. 4) This model proved powerful for studying the statistical mechanical characterization of protein denaturation and fluctuations. The specificities of interunit interactions were shown to be the primary factors responsible for the all-or-none type transition from native to denatured states of globular proteins. 5) The model is studied by the Monte Carlo method of Metropolis et al., which simulates a kinetic process approximately. The method is shown to be a promising tool in finding the native conformation of proteins from their amino acid sequence. 6) A new theoretical method is developed to study phenomenologically the processes of protein folding and unfolding and the conformational fluctuations in the native state. An important role is played by a quantity S(H): the entropy of a protein molecule in solution in the conformational states with a given value of enthalpy H. Qualitative character of the S-H curve, such as whether it is convex or concave determines characteristics of the conformational transition in a globular protein such as whether or not it is of the all-or-none type. 7) The concept of an ideal process of protein folding and unfolding is introduced and defined by three statements. The S-H curve is calculated for this ideal process. The curve is shown to be concave, indicating that the transition is of the all-or-none type. This conclusion is drawn essentially from the globularity and specificity of the native conformational of proteins. 8) Residual structures in the denatured state and conformational fluctuations in the native state are discussed. In order to discuss the latter, an independent fluctuating site model is introduced, in which it is assumed that there are several independent fluctuating sites, each localized in some part of the protein molecule...", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1015397"} {"pmid": "1015398", "title": "Oxygen transport on Mount Everest: the effects of increased hematocrit on maximal O2 transport.", "content": "Oxygen transport on Mount Everest: the effects of increased hematocrit on maximal O2 transport.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1015398"} {"pmid": "1015399", "title": "Influence of hemoglobin oxygen affinity on oxidation reduction state of cytochrome aa3 in perfused liver.", "content": "Influence of hemoglobin oxygen affinity on oxidation reduction state of cytochrome aa3 in perfused liver.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1015399"} {"pmid": "1015387", "title": "Homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid of patients with acute cerebrovascular lesion.", "content": "Homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in lumbar cerebrospinal fluid of patients with acute cerebrovascular lesion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1015387"} {"pmid": "1015400", "title": "Metabolic and electron microscopic studies post mortem in brain mitochondria.", "content": "Metabolic and electron microscopic studies post mortem in brain mitochondria.

Gastric hypersecretion, which was observed during pregnancy in pylorus ligation preparation, appears to contribute to the mechanism of aggravation of gastric lesions. ASA induced a marked back-diffusion of acid in pregnant rats which might resulted in the aggravation of ASA-induced gastric lesions. In contrast, histamine-induced gastric lesions were markedly inhibited according according to the progress of pregnancy but after 10 days' lactation returned to the level seen in nonpregnant rats.

The effect of the drug on peroral jejunal biopsy was examined in a controlled, double-blind, randomized trial. Forty-nine patients (24 females and 25 males) who required jejunal biopsy for diagnostic purposes were admitted to the study. All the biopsies were performed by the same operator using the Quinton multipurpose suction biopsy tube and applying the same technique. Twenty-four patients ranging in age from 18 to 67 years (mean 44.5) received placebo intravenously (sodium metabisulfite), and 25 patients from 16 to 73 years old (mean 39.9) received 10 mg of metoclopramide intravenously prior to the jejunal intubation. Objective parameters of the study were (1) time in minutes required for the intubation at the biopsy site, ie, the area at the ligament of Treitz, and (2) fluoroscopy time. Intubation time in the placebo group was 22.3 +/- 1.9 min (mean +/- SEM) vs 11.3 +/- 1.4 min in the metoclopramide group (P less than 0.001).

Changes in intakes of protein, fat, sugar, refined cereal products, and crude fiber have been advanced as predisposing or causative factors. Evidence suggests that (i) fall in fiber intake, but (ii) rise in fat intake, in their ability to increase fecal concentrations of bile acids and sterols (possible precursors of carcinogens) are most likely to be culpable. As preventive measures, a significant rise in fiber intake is practicable only from regular bran ingestion. A major reduction in fat intake is grossly unlikely. Even were rigorous dietary changes implemented, an early fall in colonic cancer incidence is highly improbable due to the long-term character of the disease.

The structure of the cancellous bone in the calcaneus is comparable to a three-dimensional trajectorial system, best adapted to resisting bending stresses. This can be seen from the curve trend of the tensile fascicles. Since stressing takes place mainly in the sagittal plane, the adaptation of the structure must be examined in this plane. The photoelastic experiments prove that similar trajectorial patterns result from different types of loading (e.g., standing with and without muscular contraction, the transmission of forces before and after the fusion of the tuber apophysis); and therefore the stresses remain the same. The trajectorial patterns, already established from the experiments, correspond with those of the cancellous structure, which indicates that a state of adaptation exists. Using the definition given in Roux's \"maximum-minimum\" law, this means that the bone achieves maximum resistance with a minimum of material. The photoelastic experiments can also be successfully applied to a short, skeletal element, which has been stressed in a complex manner. Furthermore, the theory of causal histogenesis in the supporting tissues can be proved, since the position of the epiphyseal center coincides with that of a singular poing (hydrostatic pressure) in the trajectorial pattern. A division of the trajectorial pattern, into lateral and medial fascicles (as described by T. von Lanz and W.

In the retina and pigment epithelium walls of the optic vesicle gap junctions are found between ventricular cells in the apical contact zone and close to the outside wall; a neural tube type of distribution. Optic cup formation brings the retina and pigment epithelium into contact and gap junctions form between them. After the stage of retinal specification gap junctions, previously more numerous dorsally, are more often found in the ventral retina and pigment epithelium. They continue to be found in the retinal centre between ventricular cell processes in the apical contact zone and near the vitreal basement lamella above the ganglion cell layer until stage 35. Gap junctions are occasionally made by ganglion cells and their axons, providing possible pathways initiating cell differentiation. After stage 35 gap junctions seem to be confined to the peripheral rim of the eye cup where new cells are formed throughout larval life.

For legitimate and illegitimate births combined, maternal age and paternal age are unimportant factors once account is made of birth order. This pattern obtains for both blacks and whites. The sex ratio for legitimate and illegitimate births is equivalent but the fact of legitimacy or illegitimacy may affect the association of the ratio with birth order and the parental ages. Paternal education is not significantly related to the ratio, but the highest probability of a male birth is found among fathers with intermediate levels of attainment.

Most models previously considered for assortative mating were such that no change in gene frequencies occurred, or that one-sided assortative mating was occurring. Two-sided assortative mating is more realistic for human populations, and in this paper a model of two-sided assortative mating is analysed for two autosomal alleles with dominance, an important case for human genetics. The concept of a relative probability of matin between two phenotypes is used, and this variable can take into account factors such as different propensities for assortment in the various phenotypes and so forth. It is shown that the gene frequency may vary from generation to generation and conditions for the establishment of a stable polymorphism are given. For instance, Stanton (1947) has considered a special case of two-sided assortative mating with two autosomal alleles and a constant correlation between mates, where the value expressed by the heterozygote is numerically exactly half-way between the values exhibited by the two homozygotes. Also he has considered a special form of assortative mating, where the probability of occurrence of matings between the same homozygotes has been increased in each generation by the same constant factor as the probability of occurrence of matings between different homozygotes has been decreased. The probability of occurrence of matings involving heterozygotes remains the same as if mating were random. For this particular model the frequency of the genotypes in those who mate in generation t is the same as for the general population in generation t, but the genotypic frequencies change from generation to generation, reaching an equilibrium value. Stark (1976) has also considered a similar model to Stanton's (1947), the major difference occurring in the construction of the mating frequencies, which in this case occurs according to the canonical decomposition of the 2-way table of mating frequencies. Stark shows the correspondence between the results for this model and those given by Malécot (1939, 1948). The results for all these models depend on the particular values assigned to the genotypes. Also these models could be extended as outlined in this article for the case of two autosomal alleles with dominance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1015816"} {"pmid": "1015828", "title": "Equilibrium centrifugation of proteins in acid solutions.

The pyridine compound is a potent inhibitor of nitrification now in use with ammonium fertilizers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative influence of various soil and climatic factors on rates of degradation of 6-chloropicolinic acid in soil. Experiments with a wide range of soil types (23 soils) demonstrate that the most important factor influencing the decomposition rate of 6-chloropicolinic acid is soil temperature. When temperature is not a variable, the quantity of organic matter (0.9 to 6.9% by weight) and pH (4.8 to 8.1) significantly affect the rate of decomposition, but sand, silt, and clay percentages do not. Moisture content was without apparent effect because the range of values investigated was too narrow. A fractional-order rate law (0.7) describes the disappearance rate best. Application of the Arrhenius equation to the data for the decomposition of 6-chloropicolinic acid in soil indicates an activation energy of 6.57 kcal per mole, suggesting that the chemical is biologically rather than chemically degraded. It was not possible to develop a suitably precise equation for prediction of loss rate as affected by the above soil and climatic factors because undefined biological factors in the soils override the effect of measurable properties of soil and climate.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1015860"} {"pmid": "1015859", "title": "Does conjugated bilirubin displace unconjugated bilirubin from albumin.", "content": "Does conjugated bilirubin displace unconjugated bilirubin from albumin.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1015859"} {"pmid": "1015861", "title": "Insecticide and nutrient transport in water, related to agricultural land use of a stream basin in Ontario, Canada.", "content": "Insecticide and nutrient transport in water, related to agricultural land use of a stream basin in Ontario, Canada.

Nonoperative treatment was used in 59% with a hospital mortality of 35%, one-third of these deaths being directly due to gastric ulcer perforation or hemorrhage. Operative treatment was used in 41% of patients. The most common operation (86%) was gastric resection without vagotomy. Overall operative mortality was 16%; 34% for emergency procedures and 6% for elective procedures. Cachexia seemed to be the most important factor related to operative mortality. Nonoperative treatment resulted in more than twice the hospital mortality compared to operative treatment. Approximately one-half of all patients treated non-operatively had a recurrent gastric ulcer at some time during this study. The recurrence rate following definitive gastric resection was 1.3% compared with 16% during nonoperative therapy. Three-fourths of recurrences occurred later than two years and nearly half of recurrences after more than 5 years of followup. Patients with a prior history of overt bleeding from gastric ulcer disease particularly were at risk for further bleeding. There were coincidental duodenal ulcers in 10% of our patients and a 0.8% incidence of gastric cancer during followup. Long term followup demonstrates the superiority of operative treatment of gastric ulcer and also reveals the continuous propensity of such ulcers to recurrence following nonoperative treatment.

A deficit of 34 mul of bile during the decreased bile flow could be calculated, compared to the control group. This deficit in bile flow possibly reflects an inhibitory secretory effect of ACh on canalicular bile secretion, or enhanced reabsorption of water in the biliary tree. The decline in the concentration of 3H-oubain in the bile after the addition of ACh indicates that ACh inhibits biliary transport of ouabain by an unknown mechanism, in addition to its effect on bile flow.

The pharmacological effects studed are: inhibition of 1-3H-noradrenaline uptake, potentiation of 1-noradrenaline chronotropic response, and changes in spontaneous atrial rate. All drugs inhibit noradrenaline uptake and potentiate noradrenaline chronotropic response (desipramine congruent to protriptyline greater than doxepin). Desipramine and protriptyline, at concentrations of 10(-7) -- 10(-6)M stimulate the spontaneous rate; higher concentrations (greater than 10(-6)M) depress it. Doxepin has only a negative chronotropic effect.

The effects of scopolamine HBr (0.032 to 10.0 mg/kg), methscopolamine Br (1.0 and 10.0 mg/kg) and 0.36 mg/kg NaBr on acquisition and retention of one-way avoidance behavior and total brain acetylcholine (ACh) were studied in male albino rats. Compared to equimolar NaBr, scopolamine caused a dose-related impairment in acquisition of avoidance responding while methscopolamine did not. Retention of avoidance behavior in trained rats was also disrupted, but the detrimental effect was smaller and occurred only following large doses of scopolamine. The per cent escape behavior was not decreased by any of the treatments. It increased as avoidance was decreased. Scopolamine caused a dose-related increase in latency and avoidance and escape responding compared to equimolar NaBr. However, scopolamine increased the latency of avoidance at lower doses and to a greater degree than it increased the latency of escape. Escape latencies were significantly increased only at the largest dose (10 mg/kg). These dose-related effects of scopolamine were greater during acquisition than during retention. Small doses (0.032 mg/kg) shortened latency of avoidance during retention. Methscopolamine increased avoidance and escape latencies only at the largest dose (10 mg/kg). Scopolamine produced a dose-related decrease in brain ACh which correlated well with the per cent avoidance in acquisition (r = 0.95) and retention (r = 0.88) trials. It is concluded that a muscarinic cholinergic antagonist with central actions like scopolamine affects selective aspects of avoidance behavior in low doses, and that these changes are highly correlated with brain ACh levels.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1015922"} {"pmid": "1015933", "title": "Temporal distribution of rapid eye movements and related monophasic potentials in the brain stem following injection of an anticholinesterase.", "content": "Temporal distribution of rapid eye movements and related monophasic potentials in the brain stem following injection of an anticholinesterase. The temporal distribution of the horizontal rapid eye movements and the related monophasic potentials recorded from the ascending MLF following intravenous injection of o.i mg/kg of anticholinesterase has been investigated in precollicular decerebrate animals. In particular the intervals between individual MLF potentials occurring during successive REM episodes have been evaluated over a total period of 2000 sec on each experiment. 2. There was a bimodal distribution of intervals due to the fact that all the rapid eye movements and the related MLF potentials were grouped in bursts which occurred at quite regular intervals. 3. During the cholinergically induced episodes of REM, there were usually bursts of REM in one direction followed by bursts of REM in the opposite direction. The mean number of individual eye movements within each burst was 4.67 +/- 0.84, S.D., while the average interval between the individual eye movements corresponded to 167 +/- 36 msec, S.D. 4. There was a great regularity in the periodic occurrence of the bursts of REM. In particular the mean interval between the beginning of a burst of REM in one direction (i.e., towards the left side) and that of the next train oriented in the opposite direction (i.e., towards the right side) was 1.97 +/- 0.47 sec, S.D., while the mean interval between the beginning of this last train and that of the successive train oriented in the former direction corresponded to 2.97 +/- 0.48 sec, S.D. Moreover, the duration of the whole period corresponding to the interval between two successive bursts of REM oriented in the same direction (i.e., towards left or towards right) corresponded on average to 4.94 +/- 0.55 sec S.D. and 4.99 +/- 0.52 sec, S.D. respectively. 5. In addition to these \"simple bursts\" of rapid eye movements oriented in one direction, there were \"complex bursts\" in which an alternation of the individual eye movements within each burst was observed. In these instances the mean number of spikes was greater (5.35 +/- 1.20, S.D.) and the mean interval shorter 119 +/- 44 msec, S.D.) than those observed in the \"simple bursts\", About 10-15% of the bursts occurring during the cholinergically induced REM episodes were of the complex type. 6. These findings obtained from an individual experiment were confirmed in all the decerebrate animals treated with the same dose of anticholinesterase; only slight quantitative differences were detected from case to case. 7. Since the bursts of REM induced by the anticholinesterase depend upon the activity of the vestibular nuclei, it is postulated that cholinergic reticular neurons activate structures which show waxing and waning in their activity before acting on the vestibulo-oculomotor system.

Three pure culture-strains from different sulfide-containing sea water sources were characterized in detail and are described as a new genus and species Desulfuromonas acetoxidans. The new bacterium is unable to ferment organic substances; it obtains energy for growth by anaerobic sulfur respiration. Acetate, ethanol or propanol can serve as carbon and energy source for growth; their oxidation to CO2 is stoichiometrically linked to the reduction of elemental sulfur to sulfide. Organic disulfide compounds, malate or fumarate are the only other electron acceptors used. Butanol and pyruvate are used in the presence of malate only; no other organic compounds are utilized. Biotin is required as a growth factor. The following dry weight yields per mole of substrate are obtained: in the presence of sulfur: 4.21 g on acetate, 9.77 g on ethanol; in the presence of malate: 16.5 g on acetate, 34.2 g on ethanol and 46.2 g on pyruvate.

Strains unable to transport 2-ketogluconate which grew readily on glucose and gluconate were also isolated. These results suggest that 2-ketogluconate transport is governed by at least two genetic elements: one which is also required to take up glucose and gluconate and another which appears to be specific for 2-ketogluconate transport.

As shown by kinetic analysis, the increased transport is due to elevated maximum uptake rates, the apparent Michaelis constants remaining unchanged. Analysis of the unidirectional fluxes of cycloleucine revealed that not only the influx is raised as the growth rate is increased but also the efflux. Hence, the conclusion is drawn that the growth-rate dependent modulation of transport capacity is, at least, partially due to the variation of the concentration of active transport components.

When cell-saturating amounts of glucose and phosphate were added to steady state cultures of Klebsiella aerogenes that were, respectively, glucose- and phosphate-limited, the organisms responded immediately with an increased oxygen consumption rate. This suggested that in neither case was glucose transport the rate-limiting process, and also that organisms must possess effective mechanisms for spilling the excess energy initially generated when a growth-limitation is temporarily relieved. Steady state cultures of mannitol- or glucose-limited organisms also seemingly generated energy at a greater rate than was required for cell synthesis since gluconate-limited cultures consumed oxygen at a lower rate, at each corresponding growth rate, than did mannitol- or glucose-limited cultures, and therefore expressed a higher YO value. Thus, mannitol- and glucose-limitations must be essentially carbon (and not energy) limitations. The excess energy generated by glucose metabolism is one component of \"maintenance\" and could be used at lower growth rates to maintain an increased solute gradient across the cell membrane, imposed by the addition of 2%, w/v, NaCl to the growth environment.

L-6-Hydroxynicotine inhibited induction by D-nicotine and D-6-hydroxynicotine while L-nicotine inhibited induction by D-6-hydroxynicotine and had no effect on induction by D-nicotine. Enzyme induction was also found to be inhibited by glucose, 2-deoxy-D-glucose and by several intermediates of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. An absolute requirement for protein synthesis and for oxygen was also demonstrated to be necessary for the reactions involved in the covalent attachment of flavin adenine dinucleotide to pre-existing precursor protein to yield the catalytically active D-6-hydroxynicotine oxidase.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1015955"} {"pmid": "1015956", "title": "Growth of Hansenula polymorpha in a methanol-limited chemostat.

Physiological responses due to the involvement of methanol oxidase as a key enzyme in methanol metabolism. Hansenula polymorpha has been grown in a methanol-limited continuous culture at a variety of dilution rates. Cell suspensions of the yeast grown at a dilution rate of 0.16 h-1 showed a maximal capacity to oxidize excess methanol (QmaxO2) which was 1.6 times higher than the rate required to sustain the growth rate (QO2). When the dilution rate was decreased to 0.03 h-1, QmaxO2 of cells increased to a value of more than 20 times that of QO2. The enzymatic basis for this tremendous overcapacity for the oxidation of excess methanol at low growth rates was found to be the methanol oxidase content of the cells. The level of this enzyme increased from 7% to approximately 20% of the soluble protein when the growth rate was decreased from 0.16 to 0.03 h-1. These results were explained on the basis of the poor affinity of methanol oxidase for its substrates. Methanol oxidase purified from Hansenula polymorpha showed an apparent Km for methanol of 1.3 mM in air saturated reaction mixtures and the apparent Km of the enzyme for oxygen was 0.4 mM at a methanol concentration of 100 mM. The involvement of an oxygen dependent methanol oxidase in the dissimilation of methanol in Hansenula polymprpha was also reflected in the growth yield of the organism. The maximal yield of the yeast was found to be low (0.38 g cells/g methanol). This was not due to a very high maintenance energy requirement which was estimated to be 17 mg methanol/g cells X h.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1015956"} {"pmid": "1015957", "title": "The characterization of the rumen bacterium Eadie's oval, Magnoovum gen. nov. eadii sp. nov.", "content": "The characterization of the rumen bacterium Eadie's oval, Magnoovum gen. nov. eadii sp. nov.

In this minority of cells, a dense globular dextran composed of fibrillar and particulate elements was always produced in the initial stages of synthesis. After 18 h, the dextran capsule was generally composed of an inner globular and outer fibrillar layer.

Formaldehyde dehydrogenase and formate dehydrogenase were purified 45- and 16-fold, respectively, from Hansenula polymorpha grown on methanol. Formaldehyde dehydrogenase was strictly dependent on NAD and glutathione for activity. The Km values of the enzyme were found to be 0.18 mM for glutathione, 0.21 mM for formaldehyde and 0.15 mM for NAD. The enzyme catalyzed the glutathione-dependent oxidation of formaldehyde to S-formylglutathione. The reaction was shown to be reversible: at pH 8.0 a Km of 1 mM for S-formylglutathione was estimated for the reduction of the thiol ester with NADH. The enzyme did not catalyze the reduction of formate with NADH. The NAD-dependent formate dehydrogenase of H. polymorpha showed a low affinity for formate (Km of 40 mM) but a relatively high affinity for S-formylglutathione (Km of 1.1 mM). The Km values of formate dehydrogenase in cell-free extracts of methanol-grown Candida biodinii and Pichia pinus for S-formylglutathione were also an order of magnitude lower than those for formate.

The secretory portion of the apocrine sweat gland of the human external auditory meatus which is also called the ceruminous gland was observed by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The secretory glandular cells contain a well developed smooth endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum are often closely applied to large round mitochondria. These large mitochondria have no relationship to the secretory granules. Near the concave surface of the Golgi lamellae several tubules can be found. In these golgi-associated tubules a dark substance may accumulate to form specific large dense granules. Many less dense droplets or vacuoles may appear in these dark prosecretory granules and become liberated from their surface. Vacuoles formed in this manner then migrate to the apical cell surface and often discharge their contents into the gland lumen by the mechanism of exocytosis. Also, some of these vacuoles may be released into the lumen by the pinching off of small protrusions of cytoplasm, that is, they are released by the so-called apocrine secretory mechanism. Acid phosphatase activity was demonstrated not only in the dark prosecretory granules but also in clear vacuoles situated at the apical end of the cell and in the gland lumen. Such a histochemical finding may indicate that the secretory substance of the apocrine sweat gland may contain hydrolytic enzymes derived from lysosomes, which are the prosecretory granules of this gland, and these enzymes may play a role in dissolution and break down of the material extruded into the lumen by apocrine secretion.

The myoepithelial cells are long fibrous cells about 100-150 mum in length and 3-5 mum in width. They are arranged in parallel with each other, and their long axes are parallel to that of the secretory tubule itself. The tips of cells are often sharply pointed and their lateral tapering surface may be contiguous with adjacent cells forming a side-by-side contact, while other cells may have a blunt tip which is conjuncted with a similar tip of the next cell forming an end-to-end junction. The myoepithelial cells are joined to each other by desmosomes and there are also desmosomes at their junction with secretory cells. The outer surface of the cell abutting on the basal lamina has some exaggerated densities which are undoubtedly identical to the hemidesmosomes of epidermal cells. There are well developed foldings in the plasma membrane of the secretory cells, but the surface of the myoepithelial cells has very few foldings and projections. The relative shortage of intercellular attachment devices between the secretory and myeopithelial cells makes it easy to peel off the secretory cells to disclose the myoepithelium, a useful feature of scanning electron microscopy. The nucleus-containing part of the cell protrudes slightly upward and invades the secretory epithelium.

The contributions of the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal medullary catecholamines to the response of dog hind limb resistance vessels to haemorrhage were examined. Anaesthetized dogs were bled either 30% or 45% of blood volume. There was little difference between the vascular conductance response in untreated hind limbs and sympathectomized limbs. Conductance in limbs that had been both sympathectomized and alpha-adrenergically blocked with phenoxybenzamine was markedly above that of untreated limbs. Blood flow in both the untreated limbs and the sympathectomized limbs was closely similar to that predicted from the pressure-flow curve for the hind limbs obtained in non-bled dogs. Flow was higher than predicted in the limbs with combined sympathectomy and alpha-adrenergic blockade. It is concluded that the sympathetic nervous system exerted little vasoconstrictive influence after haemorrhage, but that circulatory catecholamines exerted a strong vasoconstrictive influence that was opposed in the normal limbs by an almost equally powerful vasodilatory force of undetermined origin.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016119"} {"pmid": "1016120", "title": "Release of gastrin by vagal stimulation in the acid secretory response to food.", "content": "Release of gastrin by vagal stimulation in the acid secretory response to food.

The experiment comprised two sections. First, radiotracer techniques were used to study the metabolism of IgG1 and IgG2 in 5 non-pregnant and 4 pregnant ewes. In the pregnant ewes, the rates of synthesis for IgG1 and IgG2 were similar to the rates observed in non-pregnant animals. However, the irreversible loss of IgG1 was significantly greater than IgG2 in pregnant ewes and IgG1 in non-pregnant ewes. Additionally, it was found that most of the IgG1 and virtually all of the IgG2 in mammary secretion was serum derived. Secondly, the levels of sodium, potassium and lactose and the selective index for IgG1 in mammary secretions of 5 pregnant ewes were monitored over the parturient period. The values of all the measures remained relatively constant until one day before parturition. From one day pre-partum, the levels of potassium and lactose in mammary secretion began to increase and had risen 2-3 fold by 5 days post-partum. Over the same period, the selective index for IgG1 decreased 20 fold, wehreas the level of sodium fell from approximately 32 mmol/l to 18 mmol/l. The concentration of IgG1 in plasma slowly declined from approximately 23 g/l to 15 g/l over the last 10 days of pregnancy. During the parturient period, the decline in plasma IgG1 levels, in comparison with IgG2, without alteration in the rates of synthesis of either immunoglobulin, supports the hypothesis that selective transport of IgG1 into mammary secretion occurs without degradation.

Eighty per cent of pigs that had been condemned for polyarthritis had not been vaccinated against erysipelas or were of doubtful vaccination status. Only 3% of pigs had been vaccinated as recommended. The results would suggest that erysipelas vaccine is not directly implicated in the pathogenesis of polyarthritis.

Distribution of antibodies to Akabane virus in Australian Cattle after the 1974 epizootic. At the end of the 1974 epizootic of bovine congenital arthrogryposis and hydranencephaly in south-eastern New South Wales, an Australia-wide serological survey (about 4,000 serums) was made to determine the ditribution of cattle possessing serum neutralising antibodies against Akabane virus. Eighty per cent of the serums from cattle in northern Australia (Western Australia, Northern Territory, and Queensland) were positive. A detailed study in the epizootic area in New South Wales (particularly around Bega) showed that 80 to 100% of serums from cows in herds in this area possessed neutralising antibodies. The animals possessing antibodies extended as far south as Genoa in north-eastern Victoria, and as far west as Darlington Point on the Murrumbidgee River. There were no positive herds along the Murray River, where an outbreak of the mosquito-borne disease Murray Valley encephalitis occurred in 1974. Serums tested from cows in the rest of Victoria, South Australia, south-western Western Australia, and Tasmania were negative. Arthrogrypotic calves born in Tasmania and south-western Western Australia were not associated with the presence of Akabane virus. In Papua New Guinea, serums collected from cattle at Boroka, Lae, and Goroka did not possess neutralising antibodies. The distribution of cattle possessing antibodies in Australia would fit a spread of the virus by Culicoides brevitarsis, a biting midge from which Akabane virus had been isolated on three occasions. The possibility of other vectors, as well as C. brevitarsis, was suggested by the presence of cows possessing antibodies at Alice Springs, where this biting midge has not been found. Possibly most cattle in northern Australia become infected early in life. The epizootics in New South Wales could occur when seasonal conditions allow a southerly extension of virus-infected C. brevitarsis which feed on susceptible pregnant animals. C. brevitarsis also bites sheep, and both neutralising antibodies to Akabane virus and congenitally deformed lambs have been observed in the epizootic area.

A total of 291 eight-week-old chickens were exposed to chickens infected with either of two Australian lentogenic strains (V4 and AVL NDV-1) of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). At 3 weeks after exposure, all chickens exposed to V4 infected chickens had developed haemagglutination-inhibition (HI) antibody. All chickens exposed to AVL NDV-1 virus infected chickens had developed HI antibody 5 weeks later. This sudden late appearance of HI antibody, to titres higher than those observed with V4 chickens, was explained by V4 virus being introduced to the AVL NDV-1 group of chickens. When groups of these chickens were challenged with Roakin virus (mesogenic NDV) at 3 weeks and Fontana 1083 virus (viscerotropic velogenic NDV) and Texas GB virus (neutrotropic NDV) at 3, 5, 10 and 21 weeks only three chickens developed clinical illness one of which died. These chickens were one AVL NDV-1 chicken contact challenged with Fontana 1083 virus at 3 weeks, one V4 chicken oronasally challenged with Texas GB virus at 5 weeks and one V4 chicken challenged oronasally with Fontana 1083 virus at 10 weeks.

Sixty cows were studied over 3 days, to determine the effect of site of sampling, handling stress and the tranquilliser xylazine hydrochloride, on blood inorganic phosphorus (P). Jugular venous and coccygeal mixed arterial and venous blood were compared. Saliva was also analysed for P. Buffered and unbuffered trichloracetic acid (TCA) were compared as deproteinising agents. Tail blood P was consistently 12% (range 7-17%) higher than that from the jugular vein (P less than 0.01). This difference decreased when jugular blood was sampled first but increased following administration of the tranquilliser. The drug significantly (P less than 0.01) increased the concentration of P in the saliva on 2 out of 3 days. The possible role of salivary P in affecting jugular P values, is discussed. The buffered TCA analyses gave consistently lower P readings than the unbuffered analyses. The magnitude of this effect was time dependent, being greater when the samples were left for 4 days (P less than 0.05) than when analysed the next day. There was a very strong correlation between plasma and whole blood P.

The disease is characterised clinically by a short-stepping, stilted gait of the hind limbs, followed by lowering of the head, arching of the back and inability to continue walking. Histopathological examination of 8 cases from 5 properties revealed a Wallerian degeneration of the white matter throughout the length of the spinal cord with the ventral and lateral columns most severely affected. A similar degenerative change was seen in the posterior cerebellar peduncles of 3 of the sheep. A more severe hind limb incoordination with more extensive degeneration of the white matter of the spinal cord, medulla and cerebellum was seen in a case of humpy back of two years duration. Similar, but much milder, spinal cord lesions were found in apparently unaffected sheep from the same group as the sheep affected with humpy back on 2 properties.

Investigations in the canine heart-lung preparation. In contrast to the left ventricle, the maximal rate of intraventricular pressure rise in the right ventricle does not occur within the isovolumic phase of the contraction. Occlusion of the pulmonary artery by inflation of a balloon during the diastole causes an isovolumic systole of the following heart beat. The canine heart-lung preparation was used to test whether dP/dtmax measured isovolumically and the peak ventricular pressure Pmax as well as the parameters derived are useful indices for the contractile state of the right ventricle. Changes only of the aortic pressure influence neither dP/dtmax, Pmax and the time values from the onset of contraction to dP/dtmax (t-dP/dtmax), nor the time to Pmax (t-Pmax). A rise in heart frequency leads to an increase in dP/dtmax and Pmax at lowered enddiastolic pressure. It does not influence the time interval t-dP/dtmax and t-Pmax. With augmented diastolic filling, dP/dtmax as well as Pmax increase, and t-dP/dtmax and t-Pmax are extended. The present study suggests that dP/dtmax and Pmax measured isovolumically provide accurate and practical measurements of right ventricular contractility, provided that changes in enddiastolic pressure and heart frequency are taken into account.

Sections of hypernephroid carcinoma from 20 cases were investigated for aldolase isozymes A and B by a mixed aggregation immuno-cytochemical technique, and for the brush border membrane enzymes aminopeptidase and alkaline phosphatase by conventional histochemical techniques. It was found that the cases could be grouped into four types: type 1 (1 case) contained all 4 enzymes; type 2 (7 cases) contained all enzymes except aldolase-B; type 3 (7 cases) possessed aldolase-A and one brush border membrane enzyme; type 4 (5 cases) contained only aldolase-A. The aldolase-A concentration in all tumor cells was higher than that in proximal tubule cells, whereas the concentration of the two brush border enzymes was lower. In cases tydolase-B and/or higher amounts of the brush border enzymes than the surrounding cells. No correlation was observed between clear cell and granular cell hypernephroid carcinomas or the invasiveness or the nuclear polymorphism of the tumors on the one hand with their enzyme type on the other. These histological enzyme analyses suggest that most, if not all, hypernephroid carcinomas are derived from kidney proximal tubule cells and that the tumor cells then progressively lose aldolase-B, and subsequently the brush border enzymes, but at the same time producing more aldolase-A. The presence of the enzyme-rich patches suggest different patterns of proliferation and differentiation among the tumor cell population. Three tumors other than hypernephroid carcinoma were also examined in this way. The results suggest that histoenzymological analyses are of general applicability in studies of tumor progression.

The influence of changes in pre- and afterload, heart frequency and inotropic state on the difference between right ventricular dP/dtmax measured isovolumically and auxotonically has been investigated in canine heart-lung preparations. Isovolumic systoles were obtained by occluding the pulmonary artery during diastole by balloon inflation. The mean difference between isovolumic and auxotonic dP/dtmax is 40 mm Hg/sec (15 to 80 mm Hg/sec) - i.e. about 10% of the value measured auxotonically. Neither hemodynamic (pre- and afterload changes) nor inotropic changes influence this difference. Heart rate increase from 140 to 200/min also has no effect. This corresponds with the unchanged time interval between pulmonary valve opening and right ventricular dP/dtmax under all these conditions. Only heart rates below 100/min seem to enhance the difference between isovolumic and auxotonic dP/dtmax. Since the difference is not altered at various inotropic states, the result of this study leads to the conclusion that the relative changes in contractility could be slightly overestimated by using the auxotonic dP/dtmax for inotropic assessment. Practically, this inexactitude is within the error range of the method.

False negative DNA histograms may be due to two factors: either the number of tumor cells is small or there are tumor cells whose nuclear DNA content does not differ from that of a normal cell population. False positive findings result from proliferating cells in inflammatory activation. Errors in preparation of the material and mechanical mistakes, such as cellular clumping and coincidences, are less likely causes. The greater percentage of specimens which were inadequate for cytophotometry was due to the large number of cells needed for a utilizable flow-through photometric histogram.

Maximal stress limited by symptoms of exertional intolerance is the concept of the 2 min duration work increment test (rectangular-triangular exercise test). Compared to steady-state work tests strict observation of the standardized procedure- and computer assisted evaluation of ergospirometric parameters offer innovatory opportunities: (1) the test is of short duration (8-14 min), (2) the subjects recover rapidly, even from an exhausting test, (3) one is more likely to be able to observe plateauing of VO2, should determination of maximal VO2 be desired, (4) adaptation to increasing work rates and maximal work capacity is assessable, (5) computer technics provide on-line assessment of aerobic and anaerobic power in quantitative terms, (6) measurements proved to be highly reproducible, (7) the relationship between variables such as increments of heart rate and systolic blood pressure, respiratory minute volume, oxygen uptake during the early phase of the non-steady-state condition and the index of anaerobic power, and the influence of factors such as work load and work output, has been studied to derive standard values. Soft-ware programs have been designed to estimate deviation of parameters actually measured from standard values in terms of multiples of the standard deviation of the standard regression line. In particular, evaluating oxygen uptake during short time-intervals (0.5 min) provides information about adequate adaptational forces of the cardio-circulatory system. Energy that is not accounted for by reactions involving the VO2 measured is computed by substracting the caloric equivalent of oxygen uptake during work exceeding the steady-state level during rest from the energy demand to sustain a given work load aerobically. This index of anaerobic power is defined in kcal, cal/kg body wt., and as a percentage of the total amount of energy required (moderately trained athletes 350-500 cal/kg; sedentary people 200-300 cal/kg). A close relationship to parameters of metabolic acidosis (base excess) exists. It is concluded that the physical performance of sedentary people, athletes and patients with impaired cardio-pulmonary function can be more precisely qualified in quantitative terms by means of computer assisted rectangular-triangular ergospirometry.

Adenosine-induced vasodilation (intracoronary administration) and vasodilation after long periods of coronary artery occlusion (25-35 beats) were similarly influenced, i.e. decreased by the i.v. administration of 10 mug/kg dihydroergotamine. By contrast vasodilation after short periods of coronary artery occlusion (4-7 beats) tended to be increased. This difference in response is thought to arise from two distinct mechanisms of coronary vasodilation after coronary artery occlusion depending on the duration of the occlusion period. The vasodilation after short periods of coronary artery occlusion possibly corresponds to physiological autoregulation. With longer periods of coronary artery occlusion an additional, consecutive mechanism is called into action.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016194"} {"pmid": "1016193", "title": "Experimental hypothyroidism: depression of myocardial contractile function and hemodynamics and their reversibility by substitution with thyroid hormones.", "content": "Experimental hypothyroidism: depression of myocardial contractile function and hemodynamics and their reversibility by substitution with thyroid hormones. Hemodynamics and myocardial muscle mechanics have been studied in 22 euthyroid and 60 hypothyroid cats in which experimental hypothyroidism has been produced by thyroidectomy 61 days prior to the examination. Left ventricular to body weight ratio was altered due to a decrease in left ventricular weight and an increase in body weight. Heart rate, cardiac output and cardiac index were decreased (by 12-15 per cent), whereas stroke volume remained unchanges. Peak systolic pressure of the left ventricle was moderately decreased, the other pressures were in the normal range. There was a marked and significant reduction of isovolumic contractility indices indicating a depression of myocardial contractility in situ by 20-27 per cent. The isolated ventricular myocardium exhibited decreases of isotonic muscle shortening, of maximum isometric tension development and of the rates of both, isotonic shortening and isometric tension development by 12-35 per cent. Force-velocity relationships of contraction and relaxation were depressed to lower values of contraction and relaxation velocity as well as of maximum isometric muscle tension. The alterations in myocardial muscle mechanics and hemodynamics were completely reversible following substitution of the hypothyroid group with physiological doses of L-thyroxine (5 mug/kg/day for 8-18 days). Excess increases of parameters of myocardial performance were found following substitution of the hypothyroid group with L-thyroxine (500 mug/kg/day) in accordance with the induction of experimental hyperthyroidism in these animals. The results demonstrate impaired myocardial contractility and hemodynamics in experimental hypothyroidism. These changes are completely reversible by substitution with L-thyroxine in accordance with a reversible thyroid cardiomyopathy. The cellular mechanisms responsible for the altered cardiac activity in experimental hypothyroidism are discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016193"} {"pmid": "1016195", "title": "Effects of fendilin hydrochloride (sensit) on systemic and coronary hemodynamics and on retrograde coronary blood flow in dogs.", "content": "Effects of fendilin hydrochloride (sensit) on systemic and coronary hemodynamics and on retrograde coronary blood flow in dogs.

I.: Training effects on blood flow and metabolism of the healthy heart at rest and during standardized heavy exercise. In a comparative study 11 athletes and 11 untrained students were investigated at rest, of these 6 trained and 5 untrained individuals during exercise as well. Myocardial blood flow was measured by the argon method. Myocardial oxygen consumption, myocardial substrate uptake of glucose, lactate, and free fatty acids and cardiac output were determined by the direct Fick principle. Exercise was standardized according to 65% of an individual's maximal oxygen uptake (delta VO2 max). Coronary flow reserve was determined by dipyridamole injections. All measurements were made during hemodynamic and respiratory steady-state conditions with the subject in a supine position. At rest, myocardial blood flow and myocardial oxygen consumption were significantly lower in trained subjects compared to the untrained ones. These differences were more pronounced during heavy exercise. They cannot be explained completely by hemodynamic parameters. - During exercise, myocardial substrate uptake shifted to a predominant lactate uptake of almost 90% of total substrate uptake. Total substrate uptake as well as lactate uptake correlated significantly with myocardial oxygen. - Coronary flow reserve was lower in the trained group. It is concluded that the heart muscle of a trained individual requires less energy at a given work load than in the untrained state.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016196"} {"pmid": "1016214", "title": "Studies on live attenuated mumps vaccine.

The maturation of pre-rRNA (precursor to rRNA)in liver nuclei is studied by agar/ureagel electrophoresis, kinetics of labelling in vivo with [14C] orotate and electron-microscopic observation of secondary structure of RNA molecules. (1) Processing starts from primary pre-rRNA molecules with average mol. wt. 4.6X10(6)(45S) containing the segments of both 28S and 18S rRNA. These molecules form a heterogeneous peak on electrophoresis. The 28S rRNA segment is homogeneous in its secondary structure. However, the large transcribed spacer segment (presumably at the 5'-end) is heterogeneous in size and secondary structure. A minor early labelled RNA component with mol.wt. about 5.8X10(6) is reproducibly found, but its role as a pre-rRNA species remains to be determined. (2) The following intermediate pre-rRNA species are identified: 3.25X10(6) mol.wt.(41S), a precursor common to both mature rRNA species ; 2.60X10(6)(36S) and 2.15X10(6)(32S) precursors to 28S rRNA; 1.05X10(6) (21S) precursor to 18S rRNA. The pre-rRNA molecules in rat liver are identical in size and secondary structure with those observed in other mammalian cells. These results suggest that the endonuclease-cleavage sites along the pre-rRNA chain are identical in all mammalian cells. (3) Labelling kinetics and the simultaneous existence of both 36S and 21S pre-rRNA reveal that processing of primary pre-rRNA in adult rat liver occurs simultaneously by at least two major pathways: (i) 45S leads to 41S leads to 32S+21S leads to 28S+18S rRNA and (ii) 45S leads to 41S leads to 36S+18S leads to 32S leads to 28S rRNA.

The reassembled particle was active in polyphenylalanine synthesis and in the puromycin reaction. The core-particles and split-protein fractions were obtained by treatment of the larger subparticle with salt solutions containing NH4+ and Mg2+ in the molar ratio 40:1 over the range 2.25-2.75 M-NH4Cl/56-69mM-MgCl2 at 0 degrees C. This treatment led to the loss of about eight proteins (approx. 17% of the protein moiety), which were found wholly or largely in the split-protein fraction as shown by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The core particle retained 5S rRNA and had much decreased (no more than 10% of control) ability to function in the puromycin reaction or in poly (U)-directed polyphenylalanine synthesis.

Raising the concentration of MgCL2 to 300 mM in 2.5 M-NH4CL led to the removal of seven rather than eight proteins, and the core particle remained active in the puromycin reaction.

The hydroxylation of lysine and the glycosylations of hydroxylysine continued after a 5 min pulse label for up to about 10 min during the chase period. These data differ from those obtained previously in isolated chick-embryo cartilage cells, in which, after a similar 5 min pulse label, these reactions continued during the chase period for up to about 20 min. The collagen synthesized by the isolated chick-embryo tendon cells differed markedly from the type I collagen of adult tissues in its degree of hydroxylation of lysine residues and glycosylations of hydroxylysine residues. When the isolated tendon cells were incubated in the presence of L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, the degree of glycosylations of hydroxylysine during the first 10 min of the chase period was identical with that in cells incubated without thcarboxylic acid for at least 60 min, whereas no additional glycosylations took place in the control cells after the 10 min time-point. As a consequence, the collagen synthesized in the presence of this compound contained more carbohydrate than did the collagen synthesized by the control cells. Additional experiments indicated that azetidine-2-carboxylic acid did not increase the collagen glycosyltransferase activities in the tendon cells or the rate of glycosylation reactions when added directly to the enzyme incubation mixture. Control experiments with colchicine indicated that the delay in the rate of collagen secretion, which was observed in the presence of azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, did not in itself affect the degree of glycosylations of collagen.

The rates of incorporation of intravenously injected [14C]leucine into hepatic proteins were also significantly lower in the foetal, neonatal and adult livers from the ethanol-fed group. Incubation of adult-rat liver slices with ethanol resulted in an inhibition of the incorporation of [14C]leucine into hepatic proteins; however, this effect was not observed in the foetal liver slices. This effect of externally added ethanol was at least partially prevented by the addition of pyrazole to the adult liver slices. Pyrazole addition to foetal liver slices was without significant effect on the rates of protein synthesis. Cross-mixing experiments showed that the capacity of both hepatic ribosomes and pH5 enzyme fractions to synthesize proteins was decreased in the foetal liver from the ethanol-fed group. Maternal ethanol consumption resulted in a decrease in hepatic total RNA content, RNA/DNA ratio and ribosomal protein content in the foetal liver. Foetal hepatic DNA content was not significantly affected. Ethanol consumption resulted in a significant decrease in proteolytic activity and the activity of tryptophan oxygenase in the foetal, neonatal and adult livers.

These findings, and the control of progesterone synthesis in late pregnancy, are interpreted in terms of a sequence of hormonal or enzymic syntheses, each of which is inhibited by the product of the preceding synthesis. Several experiments were conducted to explain the natural induction of 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (20alpha-HSD) at the end of pregnancy in the rat. It has previously been showh that aminoglutethimide induces luteal 20alpha-HSD in late-pregnancy in the absence of fetuses. When estrone is injected within 6 hours of the administration of aminoglutethimide, the induction of 20alpha-HSD is prevented. However, this effect is lost if estrone is injected after 6 hours, even though 20alpha-HSD activity does not begin until 24 hours after administration of aminoglutethimide. Human chorionic gonadotropin, luteinizing hormone, and pregnant mare serum gonadotropin, but not somatotropin, thyrotropin or follicle stimulating hormone, inhibited induction of 20alpha-HSD by fetoplacental removal on Day 18 of pregnancy. Normal and aminoglutethimide induction of 20alpha-HSD was blocked by indomethacin. Indomethacin partially blocked the induction of 20alpha-HSD by human chorionic gonadotropin administered on Days 19-20 of pregnancy and that induced by 2-bromo-alpha-ergocryptine on Days 5-6, but had no effect on the induction of enzyme activity by human chorionic gonadotropin on Days 15-16 or by fetoplacental removal on Day 18 of pregnancy.

This was done by determining the bronchial reactivity to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and to histamine of both symptomatic and asymptomatic groups of atopic subjects who had comparable serum levels of D. pteronyssinus specific IgE. Positive bronchial responses to the D. pteronyssinus extract were recorded with both the symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects, the mean bronchial threshold dose of allergen being significantly higher in the asymptomatic than in the asthmatic patients. There was a highly significant correlation between the serum level of allergen specific IgE and the bronchial threshold dose of allergen extract and also between the bronchial threshold dose of allergen extract and of histamine in all groups of subjects. The ability to predict bronchial reactivity to the allergen from the serum level of allergen specific IgE within each group was significantly better if the bronchial reactivity to histamine was included in the correlation analysis. This supports the hypothesis that whether a particular subject who is producing specific IgE antibody will develop symptoms on the inhalation of that allergen depends not only on the amount of allergen which he inhales and on the degree of sensitization of his bronchi but also on the reactivity of his bronchi to the vasoactive mediators which are released by allergen-IgE interaction.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016288"} {"pmid": "1016291", "title": "Allergenic potency of bee antigens measured by RAST inhibition.", "content": "Allergenic potency of bee antigens measured by RAST inhibition.

The purpose of the relationship was to utilize the services of the three organizations in order to respond to the comprehensive health needs of an urban geriatric population. Movements in this triadic organizational relationship are described and analyzed in terms of four conceptual stages--exploration, negotiation, interaction and performance, and termination. Problems arising during these stages were not resolved and the relationship was terminated after approximately two years of existence. A sociological discussion of the case focuses on why the relationship failed. The organizational relationship was disrupted by three stresses that occurred during the four stages of the relationship. Stresses emerged for each organization in the areas of organizational integration, professional coordination, and environmental adaptation, making it difficult for the three to become integrated into an organizational system. As a result, the HMO, the nursing home, and the hospital did not benefit from relationships that could have enabled them to develop the multi-organizational system necessary to sustain an innovative, comprehansive geriatric health project.

Data were obtained through household interviews of three sample populations: enrollees in an HMO, residents of a public housing project, and persons from the general community. When preventive health care was examined, our findings showed that, while the majority of children of school age were immunized, only about half of the children under age 6 were. Among children aged 3 through 5, those attending day care centers were more likely to be immunized than those not in such programs. There were indications that children using the HMO were more frequently receiving preventive services, particularly general physical examinations. There was no relationship between the usual source of care, or day care participation, and whether a child received care for an episode of illness. There were differences by age and usual source of care in seeking care for earaches and in receiving regular care for asthma.

It contains a lyophilized mixture of all the culture medium components, including the mitogen (in our study: PHA). The lyophilized mixture was diluted with the proper solvent just at the culture time, and then supplemented with 5 drops (200 mul) of whole blood. The extent of blastic transformation was evaluated in morphology, by counting the blast-like cells on culture smears; but the method provides adequate data also when lymphocyte transformation is evaluated via the extent of 3H-Tdr incorporation. The results showed quite significant discrimination (blastic indices) between the mitogen stimulated cultures and the non-stimulated controls in all the animals tested. On the other hand, different transformation extents were observed in relationship to the single animal species: it appeared that guinea-pigs, and mostly the rabbits gave the most beautiful blast-like cells, which appears to indicate that they are the most appropriate for this study among all those tested. It should be finally emphasized that : (1) the simplicity of the method makes the investigation on the transformation capability of lymphocytes easy to be carried out in every Lab; and (2), the small quantity of blood which is needed to perform the test makes it possible to investigate each single animal even in the case, when it has to be examined before, during, and after given treatments.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016591"} {"pmid": "1016593", "title": "Peripheral lymphocytes in paraproteinemia.", "content": "Peripheral lymphocytes in paraproteinemia.

When the specific activities were expressed per mg of liver or per mg of protein, the foetal tRNA methylating enzymes were respectively 2.5 and 6 times higher than those of adult livers. The presence of an inhibitor in adult liver can be excluded, since the same recoveries of total tRNA methylase activity were obtained after partial purification of both adult and foetal liver extracts: yields were close to 100%. The apparent Km's for the substrates in the methylating reactions were the same when tRNA methylases from either adult or foetal liver were used: values were 0.2 muM for Escherichia coli tRNA and 2.1 muM for S-adenosyl-L-methionine. After T1-T2 ribonuclease digestion of an in vitro methylated tRNA, similar methyl nucleotide patterns were observed in foetal and adult enzymatic extracts. It is concluded that the same tRNA methylase pool is present in adult and foetal liver.

The aberrant annelid Histriobdella homari (Polychaeta:Eunicida) lives in the branchial chambers of the marine lobsters Homarus americanus and H. vulgaris where it feeds on the rich microflora of bacteria, blue-green algae and related organisms which grow on the inner surface of the branchial chamber, the setae fringing the edges of the carapace, the gill filaments and, especially, the surfaces and setae of the epipodite plates between the gills. H. homari, therefore, is to be regarded as an epizoic microphagous cleaning symbiote of the lobsters. 2. The alimentary canal consists of mouth, buccal cavity, oesophagus, proventriculus, stomach, intestine and anus. The much-modified proboscis lies ventrally below the oesophagus and proventriculus, with its anterior portions protruding into the rear of the buccal cavity. 3. The proboscis consists of two fixed parallel mandibles, a transverse carrier which slides upon the mandibles and to which is attached, posteriorly, a median flexible dorsal rod and, anteriorly, four pairs of movable articulated maxillae, paired external and internal retractor muscles and various tensor, flexor and extensor muscles. 4. Contraction of the retractor muscles withdraws the carrier and maxillae posteriorly, causing bowing of the dorsal rod which is fixed at its posterior end. Relaxation of the muscles allows the rod to straighten and, thus, causes protraction of the carrier and protraction and lateral expansion of the maxillae. Contraction and relaxation of the relaxation of the retractor muscles are supplemented by appropriate changes in the other muscular components of the proboscis. 5. During feeding the serrated anterior ends of the mandibles are applied to the food, the maxillae are fully expanded and then dawn ventro-posteriorly toward the mid-line by contraction of the retractor muscles in the effective movement of the feeding mechanism. This draws the food organisms across the anterior ends of the mandibles, detaching them from the substratum and allowing their ingestion by ciliary action. The first pair of maxillae are also capable of independent action and can be used while the remainder of the proboscis apparatus is held in the protracted position. 6. Detached microorganisms are entangled in a sticky mucous secretion from the salivary glands; other salivary secretions provide a transport medium for the clumped particles and a third set contain C-esterases which initiate digestion. 7. Ingested food is held briefly in the proventriculus, then passed to the stomach where gland cells secrete A- and C-esterases which continue and extend the digestion initiated by the salivary C-esterases. 8. Some soluble products of gastric digestion are taken up by absorptive cells in the stomach wall and their digestion is completed intracellularly by enzymes which include beta-glucuronidase.

Experiments to compare the exchange (total influx) of sodium and chloride in the polychaete Nereis diversicolor in steady-state adaptation to very low salinities are reported. 2. The Na-uptake mechanism shows a high affinity for sodium, reaching half the maximal uptake rate at an external Na-concentration of 8-10 mM/liter (ca. 2% SW), and becomes \"saturated\" or reaches a plateau of uptake at concentrations of 40-50 mM/liter (ca. 10% SW) up to ca. 350 mM/liter (75% SW), above which Na-exchange is proportional to the external concentration. 3. The Cl-uptake curve differs from the Na-uptake curve in showing a relative depression at very low salinities before reaching \"saturation\" at Cl-concentrations of 50-60 mM/liter (ca. 10% SW). Cl-uptake becomes proportional to external concentration in salinities of 50% SW or greater, suggestive of passive diffusion in the ionic and osmotic conforming range. 4.

Attempts to demonstrate an activation of the Na-uptake mechanism at very low salinities were inconclusive; reduction of body-wall permeability to sodium masks any possible activation. 6.

The results of this study demonstrate that the test animals did not exhibit anisosmotic regulation at any of the experimental salinities. However, the data do suggest a high degree of hyper-ionic regulation of potassium at all experimental salinities and a hyporegulation of sodium between the 25 and 40% salinities. Taurine, aspartic acid, alanine and glycine were the four FAA present in relatively consistent high amounts. These four amino acids comprised from 59.6 to 75.7% of the total FAA pools.

This referes to a linear lattice of equivalent binding sites (as for example located on a linear biopolymer) which can exert cooperative interaction between nearest neighbors. It is shown that the effect of overlapping of potential site (so-called \"multiple-contact\"binding), as may occur with larger ligands, will largely be compensated by a higher degree of cooperativity. Therefore, in practice such properties can scarcely be separated by means of oridnary binding experiments. A pronounced inflection point in the Scatchard plot turns out to be clearly indicating a more complex mechanism involving at least two rather antagonistic cooperative interactions which may, however, occur even between equivalent binding sites. Finally some consequences of different classes of bindings sites are considered. In particular a simple approach is introduced by which the binding to mutually exclusive classes of sites may be described.

According to it 2,6-MANS appears to have a ratio rho/tau higher than 1.8-ANS (rho being the rotational relaxation of in plane rotations and tau the lifetime of the excited singlet state of the bound molecules), suggesting that the former chromophore is more tightly held inside the bilayers. Furthermore, 2,6-MANS is found to possess the absorption and emission oscillators more closely oriented to the normal of membrane surface, while 1,8-ANS has both oscillators almost near the plane of the bilayers. The results furnish also a fair estimate of the random molecular motion own by the phospholipid molecules at room temperature. The comparison of the present data with those obtained from squid axon membranes confirms the validity of the proposed physical model, yielding a rough estimate of the axon membrane-area covered by integral protein macromolecules. These preliminary results derived from lecithin model membranes suggest that fluorescence polarization techniques can provide valuable informations if applied to study the macromolecular organization of in vitro reconstituted membranes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016692"} {"pmid": "1016693", "title": "Kinetic isotope effects in the photochemical cycle of bacteriorhodopsin.", "content": "Kinetic isotope effects in the photochemical cycle of bacteriorhodopsin.

Breaks in the Arrhenius plots, observed at 25 degrees-32 degrees for the longest-lived transients coincide with a transition point in the microviscosity of the membrane as measured by depolarization of an added fluorescent probe. The earliest isotope effect occurs in the decay of L540, and is present in the subsequent formation and decay of M410 and O660. Thus in the light-driven proton pump of BR570, proton ejection from the Schiff base correlates with decay of L540 and reprotonation occurs with the decay of both M410 and O660 back to BR570.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016693"} {"pmid": "1016697", "title": "Abiotic synthesis of some polysaccharide-like and polypeptide-like structures in cold plasma.", "content": "Abiotic synthesis of some polysaccharide-like and polypeptide-like structures in cold plasma.

Ca induced greater maximum tension in the aortic strips in the presence of Mg when bathed in 60.0 mM K.

Addition of K to a K-free medium induced a slight relaxation at low concentrations (is less thth Mg in the medium throughout the experiment (90 min), the threshold concentration of K, including a contractile response, was increased as was the maximum tension. Acute addition of Mg decreased the maximum response to K. When K was lowered from 5.4 to 0.0 mm a contractile response, absent in the presence of Mg, occurred. When the K was increased, the tension returned to baseline. At 25-30 mm K, the tension again increased, reaching a maximum at 40-50 mm K. Ca uptake was stimulated at all K concentrations producing a contraction. Mg depressed this increase in uptake. 45Ca efflux was more rapid into a 50.0 mm than into 0.0 mm K solution. Mg delayed Ca efflux. It is concluded from these data that Mg has two components in its effect on the Ca associated with K responses.

Capillary blood flow in nailfold capillaries, observed continuously by capillary microscopy during standardized cold exposure (16 degrees C) has been compared in 15 patients with scleroderma (SD), 6 patients with Raynaud's syndrome (RS) without known organic pathology, and 9 normal controls. Capillary microscopy affords direct observation of capillary blood flow and allows one to determine if standstill of capillary circulation occurs (as defined by the movement of the red blood cell column), a state impossible to differentiate from near zero flow by conventional methods. Complete standstill of capillary blood flow occurred in 10 of 15 patients with SD and in 1 of 6 patients with RS. Intermittent standstill was observed in 5 of 15 SD and in 4 of 6 RS patients. In all normal subjects and in 1 of 6 patients with RS the capillary blood flow continued throughout the cooling period. Thus all 15 patients with SD and 5 of 6 patients with RS could be distinguished from control subjects by the development of capillary standstill on cooling. It is concluded that capillary microscopy can separate SD and RS patients from control subjects during cold exposure and may be useful in early diagnosis and prognosis of rheumatic syndromes and in the evaluation of therapy designed to improve the nutritional capillary blood flow of the skin. Whereas the complete standstill of capillary blood flow appears to be definitely associated with pathology, the intermittent standstill pattern as defined in this study may be an exaggerated form of flow fluctuation also seen in normal subjects.

Eighteen patients with severe chronic obstructive lung disease (arterial PCO2 greater than 45 mmHg arterial PCO2 less than 55 mmHg) were studied during a stable period of their disease. Samples of arterial blood and blood from the main pulmonary artery, internal jugular vein, hepatic vein, renal vein and femoral vein were taken by manipulating a Cournand catheter to each of these sites in rapid succession. An estimate of the regional distribution of blood flow was derived from the arterio-venous oxygen content difference of each organ. Expired air was collected into a spirometer. There was a redistribution of blood flow in these patients with chronic lung disease in accord with the observations made by others in the past. Carbon dioxide concentration in the venous blood depends on 1. the blood flow to an organ, and 2. the carbon dioxide production by the organ. The total body CO2 production was within normal limits and there is no reason to suspect any alteration in carbon dioxide production by individual organs in these resting patients. Thus the venous CO2 levels are intimately linked with organ blood flow but even a substantial increase in organ blood flow cannot always compensate for the disorder in the lung.

Twenty mongrel dogs weighing 30-45 kg were anesthetized with pentobarbital and flow probes and occluders were surgically implanted. Ten of these dogs were subjected to hypercapnia alone. During inspiration of 6% CO2 in room air, portal vein flow increased from 588 +/- 73 ml/min to 731 +/- 113 ml/min (p less than .05), while hepatic artery flow did not change significantly from its control mean of 221 +/- 38 ml/min.

Again, mean hepatic artery flow did not increase significantly above its control of 273 +/- 43 ml/min.

The high molecular weight of SF6 causes a delay of its gaseous diffusion from the peripheral air spaces of the lung. A similar delay can be caused by emphysematous changes such as a longer distance for diffusion, an increased alveolar volume and a reduction of the number of small airways, where the gas has to pass through.

Contrary to the belief of many sensory neurophysiologists, the present authors contend that pattern theory is viable; and that specificity, while important and not to be ignored, should be considered as only a partially evolved refinement superimposed on a basic underlying spatial and temporal patterning of input that probably requires central decoding, which begins in the dorsal horn.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016817"} {"pmid": "1016818", "title": "Development of a detachable vascular balloon catheter.

Between the 13th and 17th days of incubation, about 60% of the neurons in the nucleus degenerate; as a result of this degeneration, the arrival of afferent fibers, and the growth of the cells' processes, the nucleus comes to have its characteristic adult form of a complex, folded, bilaminar sheet, in which each part of the retina is precisely represented. Experiments based on the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) from the eye indicate that the first centrifugal fibers, in the isthmo-optic tract (IOT), reach the retina on the 10 day of incubation, and by the 12th day all but about 5% of the neurons in the ION can be retrogradely labeled in this way...", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016847"} {"pmid": "1016848", "title": "Brain circuits for consciousness.", "content": "Brain circuits for consciousness.

Interhemispheric connections of the telencephalon in the lizard, Gekko, were studied with anterograde degeneration methods following lesions variously placed in the medial, dorsal, and lateral cortices and/or the dorsal ventricular ridge (D.V.R.). After lesions involving dorsal cortex, the medial wall, and the DVR, the majority of degenerated fibers decussate in the hippocampal commissure and terminate in the septum, medial wall, dorsal cortex, and the lateral edge of the DVR contralaterally. Lesions confined to dorsal cortex result in a similar pattern of degeneration, while lesions confined to the lateral wall result in degeneration in the contralateral lateral cortex, DVR and striatum, mainly via the anterior commissure. Some variation has been reported on the pattern of interhemispheric projections among reptiles studied to date; two possible interpretations of the data are that (1) dorsal cortex may be homologous as a field to parts of both neocortex and the hippocampal formation of mammals or (2) only the lateral part of dorsal cortex may be homologous to neocortex.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016849"} {"pmid": "1016850", "title": "Behavioral correlates of 'tectal compression' in goldfish.

With product inhibition studies the apparent Ki's for adenosine, inosine, cytidine, and inorganic phosphate were 0.4, 3.0, 5.0, and 42 mM, respectively. A large number of nucleoside mono-, di-, and tri-phosphate compounds were inhibitors of the enzyme.

On the other hand, in a few cases, the electron microscope has provided the first, or even the only, evidence of virus particles. A radical change in the way the electron microscope is applied to this problem is suggested whereby a high-voltage microscope is used to examine thicker sections and an image-processing arrangement is used to focus and select images and to search the images for virus particles.

Differences were observed depending on the enzyme being extracted from the total mitochondrial fraction, from the supernatant of the homogenate or from purified peroxisomes. Catalase solubilized from the total mitochondrial fraction exhibits an apparent isoelectric point lower than that of catalase derived from the supernatant. Catalase released from purified peroxisomes shows a behavior similar to that of the supernatant catalase. It has been concluded that, in a total mitochondrial fraction, a factor is present that alters the electric charge of the catalase molecule during or after the extraction of the enzyme. This factor is probably associated with lysosomes existing together with peroxisomes and mitochondria in a total mitochondrial fraction. As a matter of fact, the addition of an extract of purified lysosomes to purified peroxisomes or to supernatant will cause a shift towards a more acid pH of catalase distribution subsequent to electrofocalization.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016940"} {"pmid": "1016941", "title": "Transfer RNA and aminoacyl tRNA synthetases in hormone dependent and independent mammary tumors of GR mice: II.

Only 4 of the 12 PAH were detected in the cancerous tissue: benzo(a)pyrene, fluoranthene, benzo(ghi)perylene. Beno(a)pyrene was found in all carcinomas. The reasons for increased concentration of the detected PAH in cancerous tissue are discussed with respect to deposition and elimination of inhaled particles as well as the metabolism of these compounds.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1016943"} {"pmid": "1016944", "title": "A further pancreatic carcinogen in Syrian golden hamsters: N-nitroso-bis(2-acetoxypropyl)amine.", "content": "A further pancreatic carcinogen in Syrian golden hamsters: N-nitroso-bis(2-acetoxypropyl)amine.

Synchronized cells showed age-dependent sensitivity to VP-16-213 with the greatest lethal damage experienced by cells treated in S and G2 phase. The major kinetic response of the T1 cells to VP-16-213 was a delay in G2 phase, the extent and duration of which was a function of drug concentration, exposure time, and cell cycle stage of drug addition; thus, cells in S phase were most effectively blocked in the subsequent G2 phase.

Cyclophosphamide used alone at low doses decreased aniline hydroxylase and ethylmorphine demethylase activities by about 20% and at high doses produced a 30%-50% decrease in the specific activities of several microsomal mixed-function oxygenase activities, in the contents of cytochromes P-450 and b5, and in the magnitudes of type I and II drug-binding spectrum.

The high dose of cyclophosphamide in conjunction with either vincristine or prednisone also produced a noticeable decrease in several activities tested; however, when cyclophosphamide was given at either low or high doses in combination with vincristine and prednisone, the activities tested were comparable to those seen in untreated controls. The mechanism of this protection is presently unknown. Vincristine, at both low and high doses, produced little effect on oxidative pathways; however, at low doses it caused a significant increase (80%) in the specific activity of hepatic microsomal sulfatase.

Inhibition of DNA synthesis was demonstrated to be irreversible in human epidermoid carcinoma cells in culture. Exposure of cells in suspension culture to NSC-135758 or to melphalan for 1-4 hours, and then incubation of cells in the absence of an inhibitor for 20 hours, resulted in preferential inhibition of DNA synthesis; inhibition of RNA synthesis was observed under these conditions but was less pronounced.

Mechanical factors that can modify the peak transvalvar pressure differences (delta P) in aortic stenosis were evaluated in a model. A latex rubber sac simulated the ventricle. Expansion of the walls of the sac by means of a negative pressure applied to its outer wall introduced a measure volume into the sac and placed the wall materials under tension. The stretched sac was then permitted to contract and to expel its contents through \"aortic valvar\" orifices of various severities of stenosis, into an aortic standpipe of selected diameters (compliances). Factors that increased the peak delta P included the strength (thickness) of the ventricular wall, the rate at which it mobilized and applied its tensile force to compress the sac contents, the unstressed volume of the sac, the total volume in the sac at onset of contraction, the severity of the valvar stenosis, the compliance of the aorta, the rate of arterial run-off, and the aortic diastolic pressure. Loss of forward stroke volume due to mitral regurgitation lowered the peak delta P. Elevations in diastolic arterial pressure also lowered delta P. All of these mechanical factors should be considered in the analysis of the severity of clinical aortic valvar stenosis and in decisions for medical therapy and surgical correction. The several factors which do not depend directly on the orifice area or on the forward stroke volume vitiate the sole use of the orifice formula in the analysis of the dynamics of aortic stenosis.

Target size analyses of the loss of synthesis of hnRNA species suggest that hnRNA, through its entire size range, constitutes mostly primary transcripts-that is, the shorter RNA molecules are not processed from longer precursors. Polyadenylated hnRNA appears to be a primary transcript as well. Our data, however, are also consistent with processing of precursors to poly(A)+ hnRNA from the 5'termini of larger hnRNA molecules.

Several experiments suggest that in each tissue the mRNAs are organized into three abundance classes rather than as a continumm with respect to concentration. Cross-hybridization experminets show that the most abundant class of mRNA in each tissue is characteristic, and that a high proportion of the total sequences are common between tissues. For a more complete analysis, cDNA was fractionated into three classes. Studies using isolated abundant cDNA show that some abundant sequences of liver and kidney are present in other tissues, but among the lower frequency classes. Thus tissue-specific differences in mRNA populations may be related to abundance as well as qualitative differences. Using isolated middle frequency cDNA of the kidney, it was shown that of the 550 or so sequences in this class, approximately 500 are shared with the liver. Similarly, between 9,500 and 10,500 of the low frequency kidney cDNAs are shared with the brain and liver, respectively, suggesting that the majority of mRNAs may be involved with \"housekeeping\" activities.

A system has been developed with clones of mouse myeloid leukemic cells in culture to study the induction of synthesis and secretion of lysozyme in relation to other steps in myeloid cell differentiation. Lysozyme was initially absent in all the clones studied. The different clones can be divided into three types according to their ability to be induced to undergo normal cell differentiation by the protein inducer MGI (macrophage and granulocyte inducer). One type of clone that can be induced by MGI to form Fc and C3 receptors and differentiate to mature macrophages and granulocytes (MGI+D+) was also induced by MGI to synthesize and secrete lysozyme. Lysozyme was induced after Fc and C3 receptors, and labeling with 35S-methionine has shown that the induced lysozyme was newly synthesized. MGI+D+ clones were also induced to synthesize and secrete lysozyme by dexamethasone, prednisolone, cytosine arabinoside, or thymidine and in one of four clones by dimethylsulfoxide but not by sodium butyrate. Inhibition of cell multiplication by itself was not sufficient to induce lysozyme synthesis. A second type of clone which can be induced by MGI to form Fc and C3 receptors but not mature cells (MGI+D-) was more weakly inducible by MGI for lysozyme and was not inducible by any of the other compounds.

The different clones maintained their different properties for at least 6 months in culture. The results indicate that clones with different hereditary blocks in the ability to be induced to differentiate by specific compounds can be used to dissect the process of myeloid cell differentiation, that the sequence of differentiation is induction of Fc and C3 receptors leads to lysozyme leads to mature cells, and that there are separate controls for these developmental steps.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017012"} {"pmid": "1017015", "title": "Identification and characterization of multiple forms of actin.", "content": "Identification and characterization of multiple forms of actin.

Using this selective system, we isolated six temperature-sensitive mutants that fail to grow (plating efficiencies less than 10-5) and synthesize protein at 39 degrees C. The temperature-sensitive phenotype of five of the six mutants is suppressed in vivo by exogenous asparagine. In the mutant studied in the greatest detail, asparagyl-tRNA synthetase activity is extremely thermolabile in vitro. Asparagine-suppressible, temperature-sensitive mutants are induced at a high frequency by the mutagen ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS), and they can be efficiently recovered using the proper selective conditions. Our results suggest that CHL cells have only one functional copy of the gene encoding for asparagyl-tRNA synthetase.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017011"} {"pmid": "1017019", "title": "Evidence of hormonal control of the nucleolar activity in Sciara ocellaris.", "content": "Evidence of hormonal control of the nucleolar activity in Sciara ocellaris. The nucleolus organizing region in the salivary gland of Sciara ocellaris becomes gradually less active as the larvae approach pupation. The cytological visible condensation of the nucleolar puff is paralleled by a decrease in the incorporation of [3H]-uridine into the ribosomal RNA. Alterations in the nucleolar behavior were brought about by extirpation of the neuroendocrine glands at six stages of development. There is a 'critical stage' during the 7th day of the 4th instar when the hormonal stimulus for pupation occurs. If the ligature is performed before this stage the NOR remains expanded and the larval-pupal ecdysis is inhibited; if done later on the NOR condenses at a normal rate and the ligated larvae mount to head-less pupae. These results suggest that inhibition of rRNA synthesis and consequent condensation of the NOR is under the control of the moulting hormone.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017019"} {"pmid": "1017018", "title": "Recombination of embryonic haemoglobin chains during the development of the chick.", "content": "Recombination of embryonic haemoglobin chains during the development of the chick. Embryonic differentiation is at present interpreted as the expression of variable gene activity. It is commonly thought that derepression of operator gene groups is the main cause of progress during development. However it is equally possible that gene repression plays a role in the appearance of new phenotypic characteristics. This paper illustrates such a possibility. It is known that in chickens embryonic haemoglobins exist which are replaced by other haemoglobins at about the sixth day of incubation. Analyses of globin chain composition of these haemoglobins by chromatography and urea/starch gel electrophoresis as well as TLC-fingerprinting and amino acid analyses of the individual globin chains showed that the haemoglobin switch was not associated with appearance of new globin chains but rather with disappearance of a number of embryonic chains. Moreover the relative proportion of the various chains changed at that time. From these findings we conclude that new haemoglobins arise from a recombination ('hybridization in vivo') of those globin chains which remain after the repression of a gene coding for embryonic chains.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017018"} {"pmid": "1017075", "title": "Isolation of an acute hypotensive substance from bovine brain lipid fraction.", "content": "Isolation of an acute hypotensive substance from bovine brain lipid fraction.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017075"} {"pmid": "1017076", "title": "Azabicycloalkanes as analgetics.

Wide variations in drug dose recommendations for children of the same or different ages reflect the inadequacy of data on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics in children. Selected aspects of available literature on pharmacokinetics of drugs used in older infants and children has been reviewed with special attention to calculation of an age-appropriate dose. During the neonatal period and early infancy the elimination of many drugs that are excreted in the urine in unchanged form is restricted by the immaturity of glomerular filtration and renal tubular secretion. On the other hand, in late infancy and/or in childhood, a similar or greater rate of elimination from plasma than in adults has been observed for many drugs, notably digoxin, phenobarbitone, phenytoin, carbamazepine, ethosuximide, diazoxide, clindamycin and propoxyphene. Consistent with this, it has been shown that some drugs exhibit a lower plasma level/dose ratio in infancy and early childhood as compared with the adult. This is true for phenobarbitone, phenytoin and ethosuximide. Some age groups of children remain uninvestigated with regard to pharmacokinetics, even for the drugs reviewed.

The midsystolic click-late systolic murmur syndrome is a complex entity with variable manifestations that involves a primary process causing myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve leaflet(s) and subsequent systolic mitral valve leaflet prolapse. Other cardiac diseases may cause mitral valve prolapse and regurgitation associated with a midsystolic click that mimics this primary syndrome. The prolapsing mitral valve leaflet(s) syndrome occasionally may be familial. Most patients are asymptomatic but some complain of chest pain, palpitation, dyspnea or fatigue. Prolapsing mitral valve leaflet(s) can be distinguished from other causes of systolic clicks and mitral regurgitation murmurs by the characteristic movement of the clikmurmur complex in systole with various hemodynamic interventions. The clinical diagnosis usually can be confirmed by echocardiography, which demonstrates the abnormally prolapsdrome usually is minimal but can be progressive and lead to the need for prosthetic valve replacement. Most symptomatic patients can be managed medically but some require cardiac catheterization to evaluate the possibility of coexistent coronary artery disease, to assess the degree of mitral regurgitation and to evaluate other associated cardiac lesions. All patients with this syndrome should receive antibiotic prophylaxis prior to any surgical or dental procedures. Those patients suspected of having arrhythmias should be evaluated by continuous ambulatory ECG monitoring and dangerous arrhythmias probably should be treated. The prognosis usually is excellent, but sudden death and rapidly progressive mitral regurgitation due to ruptured chordae tendineae have been reported.

The effect of an asymmetrical skeleton photoperiod scheduleee was studied on the gonadal development in a tropical finch, the weaver bird (Ploceus philippinus). The schedul comprised a short nonstimulatory primary photoperiod of 6 hrs and a secondary much shorter lightperiod given as a 15-min light pulse at different times in the dark period. The light pulse 11 hrs after the basic period resulted in gonadal stimulation, while light pulse in contimuation with the basic period or 8, 14 or 21 hrs after the basicperiod was not stimulatory. The \"photoinducible phase\" was much more precisely outlined by shifting the birds from an 8-h to a 10-h pulse, and from an 11-h to 12-h pulse and was found to be very short, lasting about an hour falling between 11 and 12 hrs after the primary light period. The short photoinducible phase may be of an adaptive value since in the tropics the difference between the shortest and the longest daylength is also rather small (3 hrs and 15 min at Varanasi, 25degrees N). Clearly the weaver bird possesses a fine time-measuring device involving an endogenous circadian rhythm in photosensitivity. In nature, spermatogenesis in this bird also begins in March when the daylength exceeds 11 hrs (thus perhaps coinciding with the photoinducible phase). In rather small, photoperiod may not serve as a cue to trigger seasonal reproductive periodicity, it seems that photoperiod can act as a Zeitgeber for the initiation of spermatogenesis in the weaver bird at least.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017360"} {"pmid": "1017366", "title": "Desmosome-like structures of the peripheral nerve fibres.", "content": "Desmosome-like structures of the peripheral nerve fibres.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017366"} {"pmid": "1017367", "title": "Renin activity in the prehypertensive and early hypertensive stage of spontaneously hypertensive rats.", "content": "Renin activity in the prehypertensive and early hypertensive stage of spontaneously hypertensive rats.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017367"} {"pmid": "1017368", "title": "Outcome of the California Civil Addict commitments:1961-1972.", "content": "Outcome of the California Civil Addict commitments:1961-1972.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017368"} {"pmid": "1017369", "title": "Antecedents of narcotic use and addiction.

The design overcomes several of the methodological weaknesses of previous studies. Eight variables which have been reported as predictors of drug use or addiction in the drug literature were inquired about during a personal interview which included the premilitary life of each subject. The antecedent variables were socioeconomic background, inner city residence, psychiatric illness, broken home, race, employment history, education and antisocial history. Using information obtained from interviews and military records, we then tested the predictive value of each of these antecedents by comparing narcotic used and addiction in Vietman and use after Vietnam in men differing with respect to each antecedent.

These findings seem to indicate that, during the breeding season, the gonadal growth in the medaka is stimulated by the pineal blocking the inhibitory mechanism against the hypothalamo-hypophyseal gonadotropic system, whereas during non-breeding seasons, the gonadal involution is induced by an anti-gonadal factor released by the pineal.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that paraquat pulmonary toxicity results from cyclic reduction-oxidation of paraquat with sequential generation of superoxide radicals and singlet oxygen and initiation of lipid peroxidation. In vitro mouse lung microsomes catalyzed an NADPH-dependent, single-electron reduction of paraquat. Incubation of paraquat with NADPH, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, and purified microsomal lipid increased malondialdehyde production is a concentration dependent manner. Addition of either superoxide dismutase or a single oxygen trapping agent 1,3-dipheylisobenzo furan inhibited paraquat stimulated lipid peroxidation. In vivo, pretreatment of mice with phenobarbital decreased paraquat toxicity, possibly by competing for electrons which might otherwise reduce paraquat. In contrast, paraquat toxicity in mice was increased by exposure to 100% oxygen and by deficiencies of the antioxidants selenium, vitamin E, or reduced glutahione (GSH). Paraquat, given IP to mice, at 30 mg/kg, decreased concentrations of the water-soluble antioxidant GSH in liver and lipid soluble antioxidants in lung. Oxygen-tolerant rats, which hae increased activities of pulmonary enzymes which combat lipid peroxidation, were also tolerant to lethal doses of paraquat as indicated by an increased paraquat LT50. Furthermore, rats chronically exposed to 100 ppm paraquat in the water had elevated pulmonary activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and GSH reductase.

The importance of this target tissue was the basis for development of methods to study its biochemistry, and with this information to distinguish the unique properties of this tissue from properties common to all cell types. Biochemical methods employed labeling of macromolecules in isolated hamster treacheas during brief (less than 4 hr) incubation in vitro. Studies of RNA metabolism in isolated tracheas demonstrated a pattern of maturation of ribosomal RNA like that shown for other cell types. Alterations in RNA metabolism were observed in isolated tracheas obtained from vitamin A-deficient hamsters and hamsters previously treated by intratracheal administration of benzo[a]pyrene (BP) plus ferric oxide (Fe2O3) in vivo. Studies with toyocamycin, actinomycin D, and alpha-amanitin, all inhibitors of RNA metabolism, were performed to characterize the class of RNA molecules with a decreased proportion of labeling in tracheas from vitamin A deficient hamsters. In another series of experiments, BP was shown to bind to DNA in epithelial cells of isolated tracheas. The quantity of BP binding was increased by prior intratracheal treatment of hamsters with BP plus Fe2O3 in vivo, this induced binding was inhibited by addition of 7,8-benzoflavone to the incubation medium. Increased BP binding was also observed in isolated tracheas from hamsters believed to be in states of increased susceptibility to respiratory carcinogenesis in vivo. The results show that biochemical studies are feasible with this tissue.

The X-ray fluorescence technique, induced by radioisotopic sources, provides a very simple method for the simultaneous analysis of trace elements in biological samples. For blood, serum, platelets, etc., samples of about 0.1 ml were deposited on filter paper disks, dried, and analyzed. In such a way the \"thin specimen\" approximation is realized, resulting in the following advantages: The X-ray intensity of a given element is a liner function of mass per unit area over several orders of magnitude. Interelement effects became negligible. The ratio of fluorescent X-rays to scattered radiation is increased. The sensitivity of the technique for elements with atomic number ranging from about 20-92 varies from some units to some tens of parts per million by weight in 100 s measuring time, by using a gas proportional counter, and from about some tenths to some parts per million by using an X-ray semiconductor detector, in a measuring time of 10(3)-10(4)s. In such a way and with the described features, the Cl, K, Ca, Fe, Cu, Zn, Br content of several speciments of blood and serum was determined. Measurements were further carried out in order to labelling blood components with stable tracers and to detect their concentration by means of the X-ray fluorescence technique. The life span of platelets was, for example, measured after labelling platelets with stable Selenocystine. The sensitivity of the XRF technique can further be enhanced by about three orders of magnitude by using a pre-enrichment step with ion-exchange resins and liquid volumes not lower than 500 ml.

While receiving only cursory attention compared to that of other malignant neoplasms, studies of patients with prostatic cancer have suggested that host responses, mediated in part by immunobiologic factors, may play a significant role in the pathogenesis and thus, the therapeutic management of this disease. For nearly a decade cryosurgery has gradually attained some degree of acceptance as one of the efficacious treatment modalities available in the therapeutic armamentarium for prostatic cancer. In addition to the localized destruction of the primary tumour, reports of secondary tumour cell destruction, i.e. of distant metastases, have supported the suggestion that cryosurgery, as documented in various animal species, may also be immunopotentiating in man. Although our understanding of immunopotentiation of the host's response to tumour via cryosurgery is far from complete, information derived from experimental studies demonstrating that the developement of an immunologic response following cryosurgery of the prostate may be attributed to androgenically and ontogenically dependent autoantigens may have clinical relevance. This together with knowledge that in the therapeutic management of the patient with prostatic cancer we are confronted with the treatment of an individual who, in the majority of cases, possesses waning immunocompetence, emphasizes the potential significance of evaluating what may be referred to as the 'cryosensitivity' of the prospective cryosurgical patient. At present this 'cryosensitivity' may be said to be dependent upon: (1) concentration of prostatic tissue [secretory(tumour?)]-specific or tumour-associated auto-(neo?) antigen(s); (2) physiologic state (elaboration of androgen), and (3) immunocompetence.

If there truly is one \"slowing with age\" phenomenon, then all activities requiring speeded performance should decline with age at approximately the same rate. This report compares relative rates of age decline in several speeded physical activities ranging from simple reaction time to long distance running events. The activities differ in the rate of slowing with those requiring a greater muscular involvement or more stamina exhibiting the steepest declines.

The increasing use of the atomic absorption technique makes it possible to study man's trace-element requirements with a very accurate methodology. Some of these elements are present in the daily diet in minute quantities of micrograms which are, however, indispensable for the proper functioning of the body. But apart from such trace quantities present in conditions which are not affected by abnormal environmental concentration, there may be situations in which trace-element levels in foods and diets reach very high values. If very high, the levels may expose a population to the risk of toxicity; on the other hand, they may lead to wrong interpretations of trace-element requirements because they may lead the nutritionist to regard some high values as normal levels and therefore appropriate for meeting man's requirements. Inversely, they may also induce the nutritionist to regard lower values as unsatisfactory. Therefore, since these environmental factors, which are not always identifiable, can induce erroneous judgements due to overestimation of the requirements, it would seem appropriate, if figures on the total supplies of the diet are to be used, to refer to the tabled values of the individual foods of the diet, rather than to analyses of the whole diet ready for consumption. In fact, an abnormally high or low value of a trace element of any single food of a food composition table would have little influence on the calculation of the total supply of the diet, whereas the use of values obtained from meals which have been exposed to contamination during technological processes(e.g., through the cooking water of foods or cooking utensils) may result in overestimation. However, the analysis of global diets seems to be the method of choice in toxicological research, because in this type of investigations the basic elements of an evaluation often derive indeed from abnormal conditions identified at consumer level. Regarding the importance of copper and iron in haematopoiesis, the following hypotheses can be put forward: (a) In the haematopoietic phenomena occurring in intrauterine life, copper seems to play a role equal to that of iron, and perhaps even more important.

For purpose of comparison, similar evaluations were done in diabetics treated with insulin (27 patients) or sulfonylureas (13 patients). Results indicated that mean serum levels of vitamin B 12 were significantly lower in patients receiving metformin than in both other groups. In the metformin-treated group, five patients had serum levels of vitamin B 12 below 270 pg/ml and five had borderline values. No difference was found in the mean serum folic acid levels between the three groups. Similarly, there were no differences in the red blood cell counts, volumes or haemoglogin concentrations nor in the mean values of serum iron and lacticodeshydrogenase levels between the three groups. Since the haematologic and neurologic complications of vitamin B 12 deficiency may only appear after the deficiency had existed for 10-15 years, the lack of haematological alteration may be explained by the fact that the vitamin B 12 deficiency was not present for a sufficient period of time.

In general, when the death certificate listed cancer as a cause of death it was found at autopsy in a high proportion of cases. However, cancer was not always reported on death certificates, indicating that cancer occurs more frequently than recorded by official mortality statistics. Older persons, persons who die at home, and persons with certain cancers are more likely not to have cancer named on their death certificates. It is estimated that in the 10,749 deaths occurring at home or in hospital, there were 32% more deaths due to cancer than certified on death certificates (3,095 vs. 2,345) and for persons aged 70 or more dying at home it is estimated there were 55% more stomach cancer (269 estimated vs. 174 listed) and 244% more lung cancer (141 estimated vs. 41 listed) than were certified on death certificates.

In separate experiments, pressures were measured both by sensors stationary within the LOS, and by repeated continuous withdrawals of sensors from stomach to distal oesophagus. In normal subjects, doses of pentagastrin within the physiological range (0.9 mug/kg/h) produced modest but statistically significant increases in LOS pressure. By comparison, sphincteric responses in patients with oesophagitis were small and a dose of 4-5 mug/kg/h was the lowest that produced a significant increase in LOS pressure. During abdominal compression increases in LOS pressure did not significantly exceed increases in intragastric pressure in either patients or normal subjects. This was so at all doses of pentagastrin that were tested. Hence, there was no evidence of synergism between the effects of pentagastrin and abdominal compression upon the LOS. We infer from our findings that gastrin does play a modest role in the physiological regulation of human LOS tone. Relative insensitivity of the incompetent LOS to pentagastrin represents, we believe, sphincteric muscle failure.

The dose of diazepam required in liver chronic disease was 17-9 +/- 1-4 mg (M +/- SEM) compared with 27 +/- 5-4 mg in controls (p less than 0-01). Dose correlated significantly with serum albumin (p less than 0-05). Baseline mean dominant frequency (MDF) and slow wave index (SWI) significantly correlated with albumin (p less than 0-01). After diazepam, the MDF decreased and SWI increased. The change was greatest at the time of maximal clinical response. It was greater in liverdisease and was greatest in patients with previous hepaticencephalopathy. In spite of reduced dose requirements in liver disease, there was no significant difference in plasma concentration at the end of drug infusion...", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017718"} {"pmid": "1017719", "title": "Patchiness and duodenal-jejunal variation of the mucosal abnormality in coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis.", "content": "Patchiness and duodenal-jejunal variation of the mucosal abnormality in coeliac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis. The incidence and degree of patchiness of mucosal abnormality in both coeliac disease (CD) and dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is documented. As judged by both stereomicroscopy and subjective histology, patchiness occurred frequently in both CDand DH patients. In most cases the difference of abnormality was of only one grade, but in approximately 25% as assessed by stereomicroscopy and 10% as assessed by histology the difference was of two or more grades. In control subjects with normal small bowel mucosa the variation of the mucosal appearance between the duodenum and proximal jejunum was studied. Contrary to popular belief, no significant difference of villous and crypt measurements or of apparent villous \"bridging\" and \"branching\" between these two sites was found, if only well-orientated sections were studied. The stereomicroscopic appearances were also similar at these two sites, although villi tended to be broader in the duodenal biopsies. The duodenal-jejunal variation was also studied in CD and DH patients and although by both stereomicroscopy and subjective histology the appearances were similar in most patients, in approximately 33% the duodenal abnormality was the most severe and, surprisingly, the jejunal abnormality was more severe in approximately 15%.

In the presence of heparin, the inactivation is completed in 30 sec, and this method measures total Xa-inactivating capacity in diluted plasma (Method I). In a clincal material, this capacity showed a strong positive correlation (r=0.85) to the thrombin-inactivating capacity of diluted heparinized plasma (heparin cofactor activity) and apparently reflects antithrombin III (At-III) concentration. In the absence of heparin, the inactivation of factor xa occurs slowly. With an incubation of 5 min, about 25% of Xa is inactivated, and this assay reflects initial inactivation of Xa (Method II). With this method, a positive, but less strong correlation to the thrombin-inactivating capacity was found (r=0.58), indicating that inhibitors different from At-III accounts for a minor part of the initial inactivation. Determinations in plasma, in which At-III was removed by immunoadsorption, indicated that At-III accounts for about 80% of the initial inactivation.

Quantitative gel filtration (4% agarose) of beta-alanine precipitated plasma samples yielded the relative (percent of total fibrinogen content) and absolute (mg/100 ml plasma) amount of SFMC. The relative (5.5+/-1.4%, mean+/-SD) and absolute (21.5+/-8.6 mg/100 ml) amount of SFMC was significantly increased in patients with septic abortion compared to patients with normal pregnancies or non-infected abortion (p less than 0.001).

Patients with infected abortion already revealed increased levels of SFMC (4.3+/-1.2%, 14.2+/-6.8 mg/100 ml) though their platelet count was still unaltered (infected abortion: 221+/-47 X 10(3) platelets/mm3; septic abortion; 99+/-36 X 10(3) platelets/mm3). The use of heparin in patients with septic abortion resulted in a decrease in SFMC. Chain characterization of SFMC frequently revealed a slight degradation of the alpha-chains probably due to fibrinolytic activity in vivo; gamma-gamma dimers representing intermolecular covalent bindings were not observed. The findings are in agreement with our former assumption that patients with septic abortion have a pronounced state of hypercoagulability. The effect of septic abortion on plasma levels of soluble fibrin monomer complexes (SFMC) was studied by quantitative gel filtration (4% agarose) of beta-alanine precipitated plasma samples.

However, it is my contention that a behavioral-ecological approach to the study of health care has been widely neglected in health care functions and research. In terms of conventional research designs and terminology, the behavioral-ecological research implications can be summarized as follows: a behavioral-ecological perspective of health care research suggests research that is experimental rather than correlational-descriptive; that focuses, because of its naturalistic thrust, on external validity more than internal validity; that incorporates as independent design variables the environmental context in which health behaviors occur; and that allows single-subject as well as multiple-group designs as research strategy. Finally, in terms of dependent variables, the research design requires a clear identification of the observable characteristics of the target health behaviors under consideration.

This study has been shared with the readers to provide an encouraging direction toward new modes of health care delivery. We believe it is the most encouraging strategy for assisting families in promoting optimal health of infants from a very early point in the infant's life. The assessment techniques discussed in this paper relate to methods of identifying individual behavior patterns of newborn infants, behavioral interaction patterns of parents and infants during the early months and years of life, and the parents' perception of the infant. All of these measures are now being tested by the Nursing Child Assessment Project staff and will result in a systematic format of screening and assessing infants and families \"at risk\". With current knowledge, astoundingly correct predictions about cognitive development and achievement at school age of groups of children can be made with information about the mother's levels of education and the events of the perinatal periods. The measures discussed in this article concerning the infants' behavior, parent-child interaction, and the parents' perception of the child are factors which will go beyond our present ability to identify potential problems early. Predictive nursing of the infant and young child is our eventual goal. This means going a step beyond the current level of practice by beginning to systematically identify the proneness of individuals to good or bad health outcomes--specifically, the proneness of children to have developmental delays or problems--and to then provide a meaningful type of intervention before the developmental problem occurs.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017784"} {"pmid": "1017786", "title": "Towards conceptualization of transcultural health care systems: concepts and a model.", "content": "Towards conceptualization of transcultural health care systems: concepts and a model.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017786"} {"pmid": "1017785", "title": "Observations of a health and healing system in a Papago community.", "content": "Observations of a health and healing system in a Papago community. The Papago people in the Tohono village have a repertoire of culturally stylized patterns of behavior to help them maintain their health. The use of foods and ceremonies for preventing illness and maintaning health are emphasized in the styles of the people as well as the concept of taking care of self and others. Comfort and discomfort, fatigue, aches, thirst, hunger, and sadness are daily experiences of the people. Laughter, crying, \"taking care of self and others\", walking slowly, eating beans and tortillas, maintaining calm thoughts, and so on, are all culturally defined patterns for coping with alterations in feeling. When professional healers are needed, they will be consulted according to how helpful people perceive these healers to be by their sensitive attitudes and actions. The medicine man, nurses, medicine ladies, the ladies-who-pray, physicians, and St. Francis are perceived to be members of the health care team for the Papago people. The meaningful patterning of culturally defined behavior must be understood within the context of the Papago cultural system. As illustrated by the Tohono, \"taking care of self and others\" is highly valued, but it is only meaningful as we understand the rules of the Papago society, particularly the religious and kinship systems. These systems tell us that family members are important in taking care of themselves and others. Thus, the description in this paper of culturally patterned health practices with their rituals, ceremonies, and ways to help maintain health and heal the sick help the reader to understand the importance of health and healing behaviors within a designated cultural context.

By immunizing rabbits--tolerant against the bulk of normal human serum proteins--with highly purified non-suppressible insulin-like activity (NSILA-S), an antiserum was obtained which made possible the development of a double-antibody radioimmunoassay. Its sensitivity is about 30 pg NSILA-S per tube or 150 pg NSILA-S/ml. The specificity exceeds that of the bioassay used for comparison which is based in the stimulation by NSILA-S of 125IUDR incorporation into chicken fibroblasts in culture. The radioimmunoassay is sufficiently sensitive and specific to allow direct NSILA-S measurement in serum or plasma samples of humans and experimental animals. In human plasma samples NSILA-S levels, carrying between less than 0.15 and 25 ng/ml , were found to have an average of about 4 ng/ml. In rats higher levels were observed with a mean of 7.7 ng/ml in 4-week-old animals, increasing to about 60 ng/ml in 6-month-old rats. In fasting rats the NSILA-S plasma level is reduced.

The haemolymph of the tarantulas, Dugesiella (Eurypelma) californica and Dugesiella (Eurypelma) helluo contains high molecular weight haemocyanin (80-82% of total blood proteins) and a second protein not related to haemocyanin (18-20%). In the Lycosid spider, Cupiennius salei, haemocyanin (75% of total blood protein) occurs in two states of association. The haemocyanins were isolated by ultracentrifugation, gel filtration, isoelectric focusing, or preparative gel electrophoresis. Their sedimentation constants are 36.7 S (both tarantulas), 23.4 S and 15.9 S (Cupiennius). After alkaline dissociation, polypeptides sedimenting at 5.8 S (D. californica) and 4.7 S (Cupiennius) were obtained. The molecular weight of the intact functional subunit is (by sedimentation equilibrium) 70 300 (D. californica) and 69 900 (Cupiennius). Copper analysis results in closely similar values. By sodium dodecylsulphate gel electrophoresis, molecular weights of 71 000 (D. californica), 72 000 (Cupiennius) and 74 000 (D. helluo) were obtained. Denaturation with various agents did not lead to smaller polypeptides. The amino acid composition of the haemocyanins was determined (Table 1). The amino end group is blocked. The haemocyanins contain 1.2-1.5% of neutral carbohydrates and 0.3-0.5% of glucosamine (possibly acetylated). The neutral carbohydrates were identified with glucose, mannose, fucose, and arabinose, glucose being the dominant species. Neuraminic acid was not detected. The haemocyanins of the three species cannot be distinguished by their carbohydrate moieties, while there is a significant difference in amino acid composition between tarantula and Cupiennius haemocyanins.

An increase in the density of butyl residues bound to Sepharose 4B leads to an enhancement of the affinity of these gels for phosphorylase b in the presence of 1.1M ammonium sulfate. A Hill coefficient of 2.9 indicates that a minimum of ca. 3 binding sites is involved in the positive cooperative adsorption of this enzyme. Binding studies of phosphorylase b on butyl-Sepharose of a specific degree of substitution demonstrate that the affinity of the gel for this ligand decreases as a function of fractional saturation. A Hill coefficient of 0.44 indicates negative cooperativity as a result of multivalent binding. From these observations a multivalent, mobile receptor model is derived which can explain such characteristics of effector-receptor interactions as: positive and negative cooperativity, high binding constants and low dissociation rate constants. The application of this model to experiments taken from the literature on the binding of the multivalent effectors concanavalin A and cholera toxin to fat cells shows that the postulated mode of interactions is probably realized in nature.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017799"} {"pmid": "1017800", "title": "Snake venom toxins.

Pyruvate kinase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activities were determined in microdissected freeze-dried liver cells from the periportal and pericentral area of the liver lobule. Pyruvate kinase activity was measured by a microfluorimetric procedure adapted to 20-200 ng tissue dry weight. In livers from fed rats, its activity was twice as high in the central zone as in the periportal cells; starvation reduced this gradient by decreasing central activities. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity was measured by a microradiochemical technique in 100-300 ng tissue dry weight. In livers from fed rats, this enzyme was nearly 3 times more active in the periportal cells than in the central area. Starvation increased this enzyme in both zones with a more pronounced change in the central cells. The results indicate a heterogeneous distribution of enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism in the liver lobule.

No evidence for reaginic DRA was obtained by radioallergosorbent technique and passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in Cynomolgus monkeys; total IgE levels were within normal range. It is concluded that DIAR are not mediated by dextran-specific reagins. Further, no reaginic antibodies against potential contaminants from the dextran manufacturing process were demonstrable. In two population samples of normal human sera from Sweden and Germany hemagglutinating DRA (IgG, IgA, and IgM classes) were found in 63 and 74%, high titres (16-256) comprising 14 and 25%. In dextran reactors a direct positive correlation between titres of hemagglutinating DRA and increasing severity of DIAR was observed. The accumulation of high DRA titres in severe reactions may be taken as circumstantial evidence for the causal role of hemagglutinating DRA in these cases. However, if high titres of DRA alone were responsible for triggering DIAR, the expected frequency would be more than thousand times higher than the reported global incidence of DIAR. To explain this discrepancy, involvement of certain Ig classes or subgroups, possibly in combination with other predisposing factors is suggested. In mild reactions DRA appear to play a negligible role. Positive dextran wheal and flare reactions, often correlated with high titres of hemagglutinating DRA, were seen in 32% of dextran reactors, indicating that skin tests are of limited predictive value.

An effort was also made in these studies to determine whether or not there is some correlation between high IgE production and a depressed capacity for cellular immunity. The basis of these experiments was twofold: (a) recent reports have shown elevated serum levels of IgE in some clinical diseases where cellular immunity is depressed, and (b) in the studies reported here, high titers of IgE were obtained in one rat strain known to be somewhat deficient in its capacity for cellular immunity, whereas very low titers were produced by a strain which is much stronger in this respect.

In an investigation of self-esteem, 71 subjects completed semantic differential forms for their self and ideal-self concepts. Four hypotheses were investigated. It was predicted that differences in self-esteem (as measured by the discrepancy between self and ideal-self concepts), would be found between inpatient and outpatient groups, males and females, intravenous and oral users, and between drug-dependent subjects and a control group. No differences were found between inpatients and outpatients, or between intravenous and oral groups. However, females who were dependent upon drugs were found to have lower self-esteem than males in terms of the evaluation factor. No such sex differences were found between all drug groups and the control group on the evaluation and potency factors. It is suggested that the results show considerable deficiencies of self-esteem among drug-dependent patients, and that female addicts are especially deficient in this respect.

It also provides a method of determining the \"chance\" level (the amount of correct classification when there are no differences between the groups) so that the observed correct classification values may be usefully interpreted.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017910"} {"pmid": "1017911", "title": "A unique approach to methadone maintenance service delivery.", "content": "A unique approach to methadone maintenance service delivery.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017911"} {"pmid": "1017912", "title": "Prediction of successful response to multimodality treatment among heroin addicts.", "content": "Prediction of successful response to multimodality treatment among heroin addicts. In an effort to identify predictor variables associated with successful response to multimodality treatment among heroin addicts, this investigation compared addict-clients classified by means of behavioral ratings into success and failure groups on 16 social history and 18 psychological variables using stepwise discrimination techniques. Statistical analyses correctly classified 100% of the treatment failure group and 92% of treatment successes. Successful clients were characterized by more advanced educational achievement at intake, later onset of opiate use, higher scores on MMPI Scales Es and L, and lower scores on MMPI Scale 7. Results suggest that collection and nanlyses of such data at intake may provide a reliable basis for prediction of treatment outcome as well as an objective means for early identification of \"high risk\" individuals who may require a more concentrated and individualized therapeutic effort.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1017912"} {"pmid": "1017913", "title": "Evaluation of drug prevention programs by youths in a middle-class community.", "content": "Evaluation of drug prevention programs by youths in a middle-class community.

All groups differed considerably in their plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels. Based on individual values the ratios of plasma triglyceride to plasma cholesterol and plasma triglyceride to very low density lipid cholesterol were calculated. The low density lipoprotein cholesterol content was also calculated by subtracting the high density lipoprotein and an assumed very low density lipoprotein cholesterol content (plasma triglyceride level divided by 5) from the total plasma cholesterol.

The alisphenoid in mammals is part cartilage bone, part membrane bone. The mammalian homologue of the primitive reptilian processus ascendens appears to be internal to the maxillary nerve. If so, then the 'lamina ascendens', that portion of the alisphenoid of mammals which lies between maxillary and mandibular nerves, cannot be a true processus ascendens but must be neomorphic. It is suggested that the mammalian lamina ascendens arose from an upgrowth of the root of the quadrate ramus of the epipterygoid in cynodonts, separating foramen rotundum from foramen ovale. In Ditremata the alisphenoid is completed by an element of membrane bone; this, it is suggested here, originated as the anterior lamina of the periotic in cynodonts, which is retained in monotremes.

In isografts proliferating cells were found successively in the area underlying the cervix, in the cervical pulp and the coronal pulp. However, cells did not migrate from the cervical host tissue into the pulp, and it was concluded that donor cells are responsible for reparative processes in tooth isografts. Very few labelled cells were identified at any time in tooth allografts, which were not repaired. It is suggested that allografts are not repaired because allogeneic inhibition prevents the residual donor tissue from proliferating and differentiating.

The right and left bronchial arteries originated caudal to the syrinx from a bronchoesophageal artery which is a branch of the right common carotid artery. Each bronchial artery ramified on the wall of the extrapulmonary part of the corresponding primary bronchus and finally anastomosed directly with a branch of the pulmonary artery at the hilus of the lung. Thr bronchial artery did not accompany the intrapulmonary part of the primary bronchus. The branches of each bronchial artery formed an anastomosing network on the wall of the extrapulmonary part of the primary bronchus. The calibre of the bronchial artery at its anastomosis with the branch of the pulmonary artery was greater than at its origin from the bronchoesophageal artery. Intravenous injections of Lycopodium spores indicated that the blood flows from the pulmonary artery into the bronchial artery. Small bronchial veins drained the extrapulmonary part of the primary bronchus into the pulmonary vein and the oesophageal veins. The intrapulmonary part of the primary bronchus was supplied by branches of the pulmonary artery and drained by tributaries of the pulmonary vein. The blood supply to the primary bronchus could constitute a shunt capable of passing blood from the pulmonary artery into the pulmonary vein without going through the exchange tissue. The parabronchial (atrial) muscles received a blood supply directly from the exchange tissue via septal venules which formed a network underneath the muscle bundles, without actually penetrating between the muscle cells. These venules drained into atrial veins which were tributaries of the pulmonary vein. The atrial muscles probably also received oxygen by direct diffusion from the parabronchial lumen.

The superior and anterior regions of the adenohypophysis become vascularized at 17 days p.c., when portal vessels extend from oral primary plexus to the pars distalis for the first time. Adenohypophysial vascularity and the number of portal vessels steadily increase to reach the adult pattern at 5 days p.n.

Superficial capillary loops were not observed until the third postnatal week. Granulation of secretory cells commences at 16 days p.c., predominantly in the upper and anterior adenohypophysis; at 17 days thyrotropes, gonadotropes and corticotropes are recognizable and by morphological criteria appear actively secretory on days 17-18 p.c., although few appear active at 19 days p.c. and 1 day p.n. Somatotropes are first seen at 18 days p.c., predominantly in the central and lateral regions of the pars distalis. Active secretory cells increase in number over the period 2-10 days p.n., but after 11 days p.n. thyrotropes and corticotropes seem to become progressively less active; fewer gonadotropes are seen after 15 days p.n., and these apparently become progressively less active from day 19.

On the basis of its internal structure, the ball of the foot can be divided into three transverse areas, each with a different mechanical function: (1) an area proximal to the heads of the metatarsals in which the retinacula cutis are developed into a series of transverse bands, and in which the deep fibres of the plantar aponeurosis form ten sagittal septa connected to the deep transverse metatarsal ligament and through this the proximal phalanges of the toes, (2) an area below the heads of the metatarsals in which vertical fibres from the joint capsules and the sides of the fibrous flexor sheaths form a cushion below each metatarsal head, and in which fat bodies cover the digital nerves and vessels in their passage between the cushions, and (3) a distal area which comprises the interdigital web. The superficial fibres of the plantar aponeurosis are inserted into the skin of this distal area, and deep to them the plantar interdigital ligament forms a series of transverse lamellae connected to the proximal phalanges by a mooring ligament which arches from one fibrous flexor sheath to the next. When the metatarsophalangeal joints are extended, the fibres of the three areas are tensed and the skin is anchored firmly to the skeleton. The direction of the fibres in the distal and proximal area promotes the transfer of forces exerted on the skin during push-off and braking respectively, while the intermediate area is adapted to bear the weight of the body.

The nerves on the right side arose from cervical sympathetic and from cervical and thoracic vagal filaments. Out of their interconnexions vagoxympathetic nerves emerged, which (1) sent a branch in front of the trachea to the aorticopulmonary ganglion, thereby supplying arterial and venous structures, and (2) formed the right sinal nerve, which supplied the sinu-atrial node, and gave filaments to the interatrial septum which could be traced to the atrioventricular node and pulmonary veins. The nerves on the left side arose similarly from cervical sympathetic and from cervical and thoracic vagal filaments. These formed several descending, ganglionated, vagosympathetic filaments that descended to the right of the arch of the aorta and entered the aorticopulmonary ganglion. Filaments leaving the ganglion supplied the pulmonary trunk, ascending aorta, interatrial septum, pulmonary veins, and, as the left sinal nerve, the fold of the left vena cava. The thoracic vagal filaments descended to the left of the arch of the aorta and supplied chiefly the arterial end of the heart. No thoracic sympathetic cardiac filaments were found. The sinu-atrial node began as a crescentic mass in front of the lower part of the superior vena cava.

Alteration of the net charge of lysozyme by acetylation caused a shift of the N in equilibrium with D transition to the right (ten-fold increase in KD compared to that of native enzyme). Both the formation of a lysozyme-inhibitor complex and the introduction of a covalent bond in the lysozyme molecule restricted the transition.

A novel method is proposed to determine deductively and uniquely the values of three parameters, a, b, and c in a fractional function of the form, y=a+bx/(c+x) where x and y are experimentally obtainable variables. This type of equation is frequently encountered in chemistry and biochemistry involving relaxation kinetics. The method of least squares with the Taylor expansion is employed for direct curve fitting of observed data to the fractional function. Approximate values of the parameters, which are always necessary prior to commending the above procedure, can be obtained by the method of rearrangement after canceling the denominator of fractional functions.

The Raman spectrum of reduced P-450cam was unusual in the sense that the \"oxidation-state marker\" appeared at an unexpectedly lower frequency (1346 cm-1) in comparison with those of other reduced hemoproteins (approximately 1355-approximately 1365 cm-1), whereas that of oxidized P-450cam was located at a normal frequency.

Ultrastructural features of embryogenic pollen in Datura innoxia are described, just prior to, during, and after completion of the first division of the presumptive vegetative cell. In anther cultures initiated towards the end of the microspore phase and incubated at 28 degrees C in darkness, the spores divide within 24 h and show features consistent with those of dividing spores in vivo. Cytokinesis is also normal in most of the spores and the gametophytic cell-plate curves round the presumptive generative nucleus in the usual highly ordered way. Further differentiation of the 2 gametophytic cells does not take place and the pollen either switches to embryogenesis or degenerates. After 48-72 h, the remaining viable pollen shows the vegetative cell in division. The cell, which has a large vacuole and thin layer of parietal cytoplasm carried over from the microspore, divides consistently in a plane parallel to the microspore division. The dividing wall follows a less-ordered course than the gametophytic wall and usually traverses the vacuole, small portions of which are incorporated into the daughter cell adjacent to the generative cell. The only structural changes in the vegetative cell associated with the change in programme appear to be an increase in electron density of both plastids and mitochondria and deposition of an electron-dense material (possibly lipid) on the tonoplast. The generative cell is attached to the intine when the vegetative cell divides. Ribosomal density increases in the generative cell and exceeds that in the vegetative cell. A thin electron-dense layer also appears in the generative-cell wall. It is concluded that embryogenesis commences as soon as the 2 gametophytic cells are laid down.

In young pollen grains of Datura innoxia, a wall of the usual hemispherical type separates the 2 gametophytic cells initially and, in the electron microscope, appears as an electron-translucent matrix which is contiguous with the intine. Before detachment of the generative cell from the intine, the matrix decreases in thickness and in places is dispersed altogether leaving the plasmalemmae on either side of it in close apposition. A particularly prominent zone, triangular in profile, is left where the wall joins with the intine. After detachment of the cell, remnants of the matrix can be seen distributed irregularly around the cell and it is supposed that these are partly derived from material in the triangular zone as the cell is drawn away from the intine. The wall residues persist throughout the maturation phase of the pollen and are considered to be either callose resulting from incomplete digestion of the initial wall, or some other polysaccharide material which is unevenly laid down along the wall and concentrated at the junction with the intine. In pollen induced into embryogenesis by anther culture, wall material is also distributed irregularly around the detached cell in a series of discrete zones, but these are more extensive than in vivo, closer together and in many instances highly dilated. The wall profiles thus have a beaded appearance, the 'beads' being connected together by short links of the 2 apposed plasmalemmae. The contents of the swollen zones have a similar electron density to that of the matrix in vivo but also show traces of a fibrillar component. It is postulated that this unusual swelling is a prelude to dispersal of the wall by disruption of the plasmalemmal links and to the establishment of cytoplasmic continuity between the 2 cells.

During the microspore division in Datura innoxia, the mitotic spindle is oriented in planes both perpendicular (PE) and oblique (OB) to the spore wall against which the nucleus is situated. However, irrespective of polarity, the usual type of hemispherical wall is laid down at cytokinesis and isolates the generative cell from the rest of the pollen grain (type A). In PE spores the vegetative nucleus initially occupies a central position in the pollen grain, whereas in OB spores the vegetative nucleus lies at the periphery of the grain close to the generative cell. In anther cultures initiated just before the microspore division is due to take place, no marked change can be observed in either orientation or symmetry of the mitotic spindle when the spores divide. In some, however, cytokinesis is disrupted and deposition of the hemispherical wall arrested. In the absence of a complete wall, differentiation of the generative cell cannot take place and binucleate pollen grains are formed having 2 vegetative-type nuclei (type B). The 2 nuclei in the B pollens are always situated against the pollen-grain wall, suggesting that the disruption phenomenon is related to the OB spores. The incomplete wall always makes contact with the intine on the intine-side of the spindle. Wall material may be represented merely as short stubs projecting out from the intine into the cytoplasm, in which event the 2 nuclei lie close to each other and are separated by only a narrow zone of cytoplasm.

This mismatch was considered to result in the thin filaments being pulled obliquely instead of at right angles to the Z disk. The angle of pull of the thin filaments was measured in longitudinal sections. The splitting process was found to decrease the degree of pull. Splitting was also observed in transverse sections of the peripheral myofibrils. In both red and white fibres these myofibrils were found to commence splitting when they reached a size of approximately 1-2 mum diameter. Evidence from ultrastructural and autoradiographical studies suggested that growth of the myofibrils within the fibres is centrifugal.

Two types of cells (clear and dark) cover the foldings of the renal sac; the dark cells are by far the most numerous. A cisterna of SER enveloping the nucleus appears invariably in both types of cells, with no disruptions, or small ones (from 50 to 90 nm) along its profile. The layer of cytoplasm lodged between the external nuclear membrane and this cisterna is found invariably to be from 0-20 to 0-25 mum in width. Glycogen is abundant in the cytoplasm as alpha particles, and also in the nucleus, but as beta particles. It is noteworthy that absolutely no glycogen is present in the layer of cytoplasm lodged between the nuclear membrane and the surrounding SER envelope. Long profiles of SER are also observed closely approaching and parallel to the plasma membrane of the dark cells. Considering the role of SER in glycogen metabolism in the kidney of the snail, the possible function of these cisternae as a support system ofr enzymes involved in the metabolism of glucides is discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018049"} {"pmid": "1018050", "title": "Phagocytosis of concanavalin A in normal and enucleated cultures of mammalian cells.", "content": "Phagocytosis of concanavalin A in normal and enucleated cultures of mammalian cells.

As a part of a larger study (Hutchinson and Watkin, 1974), this investigation was undertaken to examine jaw mechanics during the release of stuttering moments. Six adult subjects (four stutters, ranging in severity, and two normal talkers) read a series of sentences containing phonetic sequences requiring jaw depression. Strain-gauge transducers were employed to record articulatory movement. Only those stutterings occurring immediately prior to and during jaw opening were studied. The results confirmed generally faster jaw velocities for the opening and closing gestures; which was interpreted to suggest that the spindle motor system is maximally active to preserve synchrony in on-going vocal tract events following the dysfluency. In cases where an asynchrony between vocalization and jaw opening was noted, it was suggested that imprecision in predicting voice onset resulted in articulatory-laryngeal incoordination. It would appear from these interpretations that the clinical efficacy of the \"pull out\" procedure results from reduced demands on the gamma loop system and facilitation of articulatory-laryngeal synchrony through reduced supraglottal velocities.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018054"} {"pmid": "1018052", "title": "Assay of intercellular adhesiveness using cell-coated Sephadex beads as collecting particles.", "content": "Assay of intercellular adhesiveness using cell-coated Sephadex beads as collecting particles.

Major causes of higher rates of arteriosclerotic heart disease in men include greater cigarette smoking among men; probably a greater prevalence of the competitive, aggressive Coronary Prone Behavior Pattern among men; and possibly a protective role of female hormones. In addition, men have higher death rates for lung cancer and emphysema, primarily because more men smoke cigarettes.

The hydrodynamics and energetics of helical swimming by the bacterium Spirillum sp. is analysed using observations from medium speed cine photomicrography and theory. The photographic records show that the swimming organism's flagellar bundles beat in a helical fashion just as other bacterial flagella do. The data are analysed according to the rotational resistive theory of Chwang & Wu (1971) in a simple-to-use parametric form with the viscous coefficients Cs and Cn calculated according to the method of Lighthill (1975). Results of the analysis show that Spirillum dissipated biochemical energy in performing work against fluid resistance to motion at an average rate of about 6 X 10(-8) dyne cm s-1 with some 62-72% of the power dissipation due to the non-contractile body. These relationships yield a relatively low hydromechanical efficiency which is reflected in swimming speeds much smaller than a representative eukaryote. In addition the Cn/Cs ratio for the body is shown to lie in the range 0-86-1-51 and that for the flagellar bundle in the range 1-46-1-63.

The hyperpolarization was readily reversible, but the spike-generating mechanism suffered irreversible damage at hyposmotic concentrations below 665 m-osmoles.

Two exchange stages were recognized in each animal. Weight changes were either limited to slow losses, suggesting transpiration through the external cuticle, or showed more rapid humidity-dependent gains as well as losses. Rapid exchanges indicated that water was gained or lost through permeable barriers, from a fluid compartmet of significantly lower vapour pressure than the haemolymph, equivalent to about 90% R.H. Weight gains and losses during humidity changes provided evidence of a significant, passively exchanging fluid compartment located between the exchange surface and absorbing mechanism. Weight changes in faecal pellets following their elimination provide further support for a rectal site of atmospheric absorption.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018164"} {"pmid": "1018159", "title": "Mediastinal tumors.

Control of response amplitude by tonic lateral inhibition. 1. The Lobular Giant Movement Detector neurone (LGMD) of Schistocerca responds with spikes when small areas of the visual field change in luminance. Previous work has shown that changes of +/- 1 log 10 unit are enough to produce maximal ON and OFF responses. 2. Using a 5 degree test area, it is shown that the number of spikes generated by such a stimulus depends on the luminance of the surrounding area. When the surround is dark, the response is maximal; when it is brightly lit, the response is minimal. Intermediate intensities produce intermediate values of response. A X 2 change in response is produced by about 3 log 10 units change in surround intensity. 3. A bright annulus, with diameters of 10-5 degrees and 25-8 degrees, inhibits both ON and OFF responses when concentric with the 5 degree test area, but not when it is 30 degrees eccentric to the test area. The inhibitory effect shows no decrease after 4 min. 4.

If the stimulus parameters are increased the preparation bends from side to side instead of proceeding through the behavioural sequence. Bending appears to inhibit other movements differentially. 2.

Heart action of Anodonta anatina (L.) was investigated by recording the electrocardiogram (ECG), heart impedance, and ventricular and pericardial cavity pressure during different aspects of the normal behaviour. The contribution of mechanical and nervous mechanisms in controlling changes in heart action is discussed. 2. Pressure recordings were generally more reliable than the other methods and it is suggested that pericardial pressure pulses indicate the stroke volume output of the ventricle. 3. During spontaneous periods of prolonged shell closure there was an initial small increase in heart activity followed by a large reduction in both heart rate and systolic pressure, indicating that total heart output was considerably reduced. When the shell reopened, heart rate increased very rapidly with an initial overshoot of the normal level; systolic pressure increased more slowly with no overshoot. 4. These major changes in heart activity appear to be associated with respiratory changes and are controlled largely by the nervous regulatory system, but some minor rhythmic variations in the amplitude of heart beat are probably caused by mechanical factors. 5. Characteristic patterns of change in heart action were recorded during burrowing. These appear to result from haemodynamic changes associated with the muscular movements of the digging cycle. Control of the heart by the nervous regulatory system is apparently of much greater importance in relation to respiratory control than in relation to the haemodynamic functioning of the fluid-muscle system in locomotion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018169"} {"pmid": "1018167", "title": "Rhythmic swimming activity in neurones of the isolated nerve cord of the leech.", "content": "Rhythmic swimming activity in neurones of the isolated nerve cord of the leech. 1. Repeating bursts of motor neurone impulses have been recorded from the nerves of completely isolated nerve cords of the medicinal leech. The salient features of this burst rhythm are similar to those obtained in the semi-intact preparation during swimming. Hence the basic swimming rhythm is generated by a central oscillator. 2. Quantitative comparisons between the impulse patterns obtained from the isolated nerve cord and those obtained from a semi-intact preparation show that the variation in both dorsal to ventral motor neurone phasing and burst duration with swim cycle period differ in these two preparations. 3. The increase of intersegmental delay with period, which is a prominent feature of swimming behaviour of the intact animal, is not seen in either the semi-intact or isolated cord preparations. 4. In the semi-intact preparation, stretching the body wall or depolarizing an inhibitory motor neurone changes the burst duration of excitatory motor neurones in the same segment. In the isolated nerve cord, these manipulations also change the period of the swim cycle in the entire cord. 5. These comparisons suggest that sensory input stabilizes the centrally generated swimming rhythm, determines the phasing of the bursts of impulses from dorsal and ventral motor neurones, and matches the intersegmental delay to the cycle period so as to maintain a constant body shape at all rates of swimming.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018167"} {"pmid": "1018170", "title": "Modulation of Hydra attenuata rhythmic activity: phase response curve.", "content": "Modulation of Hydra attenuata rhythmic activity: phase response curve.

(b) CPTs in progress can be inhibited by different types of photic stimuli. (c) The response time to a single photic stimulus varies during the inter-CPT interval and depends also on the polarity of the stimulus. (d) The CPTs are entrainable with repetitive light stimulation of various frequencies. (e) Long-lasting variations of the frequency of CPTs occur after the end of a repetitive light stimulation.

When hormone release began to wane, addition of Ba of La increased hormone output which suggests that the decline in output did not result from depletion of the neurosecretory granules at the nerve terminals. 4. 45Ca uptake is enhanced in the presence of high-K concentration, but the initial high rate declines during long exposure to the potassium stimulus with a time constant similar to that of the decline in hormone release. 5. After a period of incubation in a K-rich, calcium-free medium, addition of calcium to the medium induced hormone release.

All polypeptides formed in nucleate cells were also present in enucleate cells but the amount synthesized was reduced to around 20% of that in nucleate cells. There was also a significant reduction in the amount of antigen detected by fluorescent antibody in enucleate as compared to nucleate preparations. Examination of RNA synthesis in infected enucleate cells revealed only a marginal increase in acid-insoluble material. Titration of the output of infectious virus from enucleate cells infected at both 37 and 31 degrees C indicated a consistent reduction of almost two log units compared to nucleate cells. That the enucleate cells were capable of replicating input genome at these times was demonstrated by the successful growth of respiratory syncytial virus, both at 37 and 31 degrees C.

When allowance is made for the extracellular space (about 32% of the transverse sectional area), for the non-muscular cells present in the taenia (about 5%), and for the non-contractile material present in the muscle cells (about 10%), the maximal force generated was about 734 mN.mm(2) of contractile material (or almost twice as large as in skeletal muscle).4. Electron microscopy revealed terminal apparatuses at the ends of muscle cells, anchoring the cells to the connective tissue, and cell-to-cell junctions (attachment plaques). In addition, many dense patches of dense bands, sites near the cell surface where filaments are seen to end, were scattered along the entire length of the muscle cell and lay close to bundles of collagen fibrils. 5. It is suggested that the production of such a large force by this smooth muscle is partly explained by the lateral attachment of some contractile units to sites along the entire cell length, which in their turn are anchored to the collagen network; the latter may be considered a sort of intramuscular tendon.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018232"} {"pmid": "1018222", "title": "Arachnoiditis and VECP change.", "content": "Arachnoiditis and VECP change.

Intracellular recordings were made from horizontal cells in the retina of the turtle Pseudemys scripta elegans. Spatial properties of the responses were determined using brief flashes of monochromatic light. 2. For a light stimulus in the form of a long narrow slit the peak response decayed approximately exponentially with displacement from the centred position. 3. With variation in the area of a centred circular patch, the peak response increased in a graded manner with stimulus area but was not proportional to area. 4. The model of electrical coupling in the horizontal cell layer proposed by Naka & Rushton (1976) was applied to the results. For the case of dim illumination a simplification is applicable, and the voltage distribution for circular and slit-shaped patches of light can be expressed in terms of two unknowns: the voltage resulting from diffuse illumination and a characteristic 'length constant'. 5. The measured variation of response amplitude was well described by the theory. Measured length constants were distributed from less than 100 mum to greater than 1 mm, and in a given cell the values determined by the slit displacement method and the area variation method were in reasonable agreement. 6. It is concluded that with dim illumination the model provides an accurate description of the voltage spread in the cells.

The new absorbable synthetic sutures, polyglycolic and (Dexon) and Polyglactin 910 (Vicryl), are excellent sutures for strabismus surgery, but they have a bothersome tendency to attract adjacent tissue (tissue-drag). This difficulty is found especially with the 5-0 size suture, less so with the 6-0 size suture, and minimally with the 7-0 size suture. The presence and number of short, stubbly, protuberant strands (hooklets) seen on the surface of these sutures under high magnification correlates with the lack of ease with which the sutures pass through tissue. Other factors involved in tissue-drag include the crevices between braids in these sutures and the fiber-tissue friction due to the innate nature of the suture materials. Sutures which pass with ease through tissue, such as catgut and nonabsorbable sutures, are seen to have smooth surfaces under high magnification. Coating the 5-0 and 6-0 Dexon and Vicryl sutures to smooth their surfaces and reduce tissue-drag was ineffective with isotonic saline solution, minimally to moderately effective with glycerine and with methylcellulose and polyvinyl alcohol solutions, but highly effective with peanut and sesame oils. Though tissue-passage of Dexon and Vicryl sutures was much improved by coating with oil and entirely satisfactory, it still was not quite as good as with catgut. Clinically, the oil did not compromise the knot security or ease of handling of the sutures. No unusual postoperative reaction was seen with the use of the oiled sutures. Although oiling the synthetic absorbable sutures at time of surgery is effective, we recommend that suture manufacturers reduce the tissue-drag of synthetic absorbable sutures either by smoothing the surface in the manufacturing process or by developing an absorbable coating applied to the sutures during manufacture.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018225"} {"pmid": "1018236", "title": "On the acid-induced abolition of reticulo-ruminal motility in sheep [proceedings].", "content": "On the acid-induced abolition of reticulo-ruminal motility in sheep [proceedings].", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018236"} {"pmid": "1018224", "title": "Anomalies of the retinal veins and their incidence.", "content": "Anomalies of the retinal veins and their incidence.

Intracellular recordings from cones and rods in the retina of the turtle, Pseudemys scripta elegans, revealed that in darkness the cell voltage fluctuated spontaneously about its mean level. The fluctuations were reduced during bright steady illmination of the cell often to a level close to that obtained with the electrode outside the cell where the noise did not change significantly during illumination. 2. The magnitude of the intrinsic dark noise (voltage variance in darkness minus voltage variance in strong light) varied widely from cell to cell. In the noisiest cones it was about 0-4 mV2 while in quiet cones it was often as low as 0-01 mV2. The noise appeared radom and could be fitted by a Gaussian probability density function. 3. The spread of voltage in the network of coupled photoreceptors was estimated by measuring the spatial profile of the response to a brief flash of constant intensity moved across the retina. For a light stimulus in the form of a long narrow slit, the peak flash response usually decayed exponentially with displacement from the centred position. 4. For maximum responses less than about 5 mV in cones, the length constant of exponential decay, lambda, varied from less than 10 mum to greater than 35 mum, and the values obtained in opposite directions were often unequal. Background illumination did not significantly change lambda. In cells with extremely narrow spatial profiles, an exponential fit to the decay could not be made reliably. 5. Occasionally the spatial profiles had definite secondary peaks. In the most pronounced examples in a red-sensitive cone and in a rod the maxima were separated by about 20 and 50 mum respectively; for each, one peak was approximately as sharp as the optical stimulator while the second was broader. 6. Cones with short length constants displayed high dark noise while cones with long length constants were relatively quiet. 7. Three models of electrical coupling between cells were investigated: one based on a distributed network, one on a discrete square grid arrangement, and one on a discrete hexagonal array. Each model predicts a strong dependence of both noise and input resistance on length constant, and for tightly coupled cells each predicts that voltage variance is proportional to lambda-2. 8. The measured relationship between voltage variance and lambda in a large sample of cones was well described by both discrete models when the average cell spacing was taken to be approximately 15 mum.

The TI can help generate spontaneous depolarizations in preparations showing the 'low voltage oscillation' which often occur with advanced digitais toxicity. It was designated TI because its magnitude and timing were appropriate to account for the TD. 3. Longitudinal voltage non-uniformity during the TI was determined with two voltage-recording micro-electrodes. Although the non-uniformity was not severe, the TI wave form was observed when the voltage difference signal was used to measure membrane current density. 4. Over the diastolic range of potential, the strophanthidin-induced TI appeared superimposed upon the normal pace-maker mechanism, the decay of a potassium current, iK2. The TI could be dissociated from iK2, however, by means of its unusual kinetic properties. 5. TIs could also be recorded at holding potentials positive to -55 mV, i.e. outside the range where iK2 deactivation occurs. 6. The TI amplitude showed a slow and strongly sigmoid dependence on the duration of the preceding depolarizing pulse. Stronger depolarizing reduced the TI amplitude, while slowing and exaggerating the sigmoid time-dependence. 7. Two clamp pulses in close succession gave additive effects in evoking a subsequent TI.

Their geometric argument is recast in terms of simple functional equations. This form of argument clearly displays the role of their assumptions in obtaining their main conclusion: nerve signal is linear in intensity over a range of 3-4 log units. 3. Two disadvantages of their approach are discussed. First, it is noted that in the presence of the data the assumption they employ in their analysis is logically equivalent to their conclusion. 4. Secondly, accepting their claim that the nerve signal generated by the after flash is linear over a broad range of intensities, and that this inhibitory signal simply cancels the excitatory signal of the test flash, leads to the conslusion that over this same intensity range the excitatory nerve signal is a power function with an exponent of close to two.

The frequency of firing was simultaneously recorded from single neurones of the ventromedial nuclei (VMN) and the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) in urethane anaesthetized rats for many hours. 2. There were circadian changes of VMN and LHA neurone activity. The pattern of this circadian rhythm is as follows: throughout the day LHA neurones show higher activity than that of VMN, as indicated by higher frequency and more fluctuations in their rates of firing. In late afternoon the discharge rate of LHA neurones increases further, showing oscillations of short duration. In the early evening hours LHA neurone activity gradually goes down, as the VMN neurones become active. Throughout the night, VMN neurones are more active than those of LHA, just the opposite of the day period. In early morning hours VMN neurones gradually become quiet, while LHA neurones begin to show activity. 3. Superimposed on the circadian rhythm, at certain periods of the day, VMN and LHA neurones showed short duration oscillations in rate of firing, roughly every 7-15 sec and every 3-5 min. 4. Activities in neurones of the VMN and LHA were reciprocally related; a decrease in firing rate of one was associated with an increase in the other. This phenomenon was shown clearly by analysis of auto- and cross-correlation functions of firing patterns of VMN and LHA neurones. 5. The effects of stimulations of the prefrontal cortex and splanchnic afferents on VMN and LHA neurones depended on the basic firing frequency, thus they varied with the time of day. Definite relationships exist between basic firing frequency of a cell and the magnitude of changes evoked by these stimuli. Reactions of VMN and LHA neurones were the opposite in most instances. Septal stimulations (at more than 10/sec) always produced inhibition of LHA neurone activity. 6. Intravenous injection of glucose inhibited LHA neurones and accelerated firing of VMN cells. This was true during the day period as well as at night when background activities of VMN and LHA neurones were different from that of the day. 7. Stimulation of the septal area with subthreshold pulses at a low rate (1-0.3/sec) suppressed or altered oscillations in firing frequency of LHA neurones. Severance of connection between LHA and structures caudal thereto had no effect on LHA neurone firing rates or rhythms. Sections between the septal area and LHA, however, abolished or greatly altered the oscillatory rhythms of LHA cell activity, although spontaneous discharges continued at a somewhat lower rate for periods of hours. 8. Stimulation of suprachiasmatic nuclei with weak intensity and low frequency also changed oscillatory fluctuations in firing of LHA neurones. 9.

The hypothesis is advanced that the joint occurrence of unitary excitatory post-synaptic potentials e.p.s.p.s) evoked in motoneurones by branches of common stem pre-synaptic fibres causes short-term synchronization of their discharge during the rising phases of the unitary e.p.s.p.s. 2. This hypothesis was tested using the pre- and post-stimulus time (PPST) histogram to detect synchronized firing among groups of intercostal motoneurones discharging in response to their natural synaptic drives. 3. Motor nerve action potentials were recorded monophasically from nerve filaments of the external intercostal muscles of anaesthetized, paralysed cats maintained on artificial ventilation. 4. Computer methods were used to measure peak spike amplitude, spike amplitude, spike interval and filament identification for simultaneous recordings from four filaments. The spike amplitude histograms were derived for each filament and groups of spikes were selected for analysis. 5. With spikes of one group designated as 'stimuli' (occurring at zero time) and those of a second as 'response' the PPST histogram was computed with different time bin widths. 6. With bin widths of 100 and 10 msec the central respiratory periodicity was apparent in the PPST histogram. With 1.0 msec bins the PPST histogram showed a narrow central peak extending to +/- 3.0 msec at its base. This 'short-term synchronization' supports the hypothesis of joint firing due to common presynaptic connectivity. 7.

At rest, the membrane has a substantial Na permeability. 3. Action potentials were evoked by passing current through the recording electrode. In standard saline the major fraction of the action potential disappeared either upon omission of external Na ions from standard saline or addition of 1 muM tetrodotoxin (TTX). We conclude that action potentials in the chromaffin cell are due mainly to an increase in the permeability of the membrane to Na ions. 4. Small but significant regenerative action potentials were observed in Na-free saline, and when Ca in Na-free saline was replaced by Ba, prolonged action potentials occurred.

Several lines of evidence suggested that they were primary sensory neurones. Fewer T, P and N neurones were identified in the head ganglion than would be expected from its six constituent segmental ganglia. 2. The receptive fields of identified T, P and N cells were situated on the external surface of the head and the interior of the mouth with considerable overlap. They were generally smaller in size than those situated on the main part of the body. The receptive fields were also displaced anteriorly so that some of them were situated in segments anterior to those of the innervating cells. 3. The morphology of the sensory cells in the head ganglion was studied by intracellular injection of horseradish perioxidase. The general branching characteristics of the cells and the structural appearance of their processes resembled those of homologous cells in the segmental ganglia. However, the routes taken to the periphery by some of the cells were not constant from head ganglion to head ganglion. This variability was confirmed by electrophysiological evidence, and differed from the constancy seen in segmental sensory cells.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018276"} {"pmid": "1018277", "title": "Receptive fields, geometry and conduction block of sensory neurones in the central nervous system of the leech.", "content": "Receptive fields, geometry and conduction block of sensory neurones in the central nervous system of the leech. 1. In segmental ganglia of the leech, the cutaneous mechanosensory neurones responding to to touch innervated the skin of their own segment and of part of the anterior and posterior adjacent segments. Each touch receptive field could be divided into three non-overlapping areas: a central part innervated by the branches of the cell which ran in the nerve roots of the ganglion containing the cell body, and anterior and posterior parts innervated by its branches which ran in the nerve roots of the anterior and posterior adjacent ganglia. 2. Impulses originating from the anterior and posterior parts of the receptive fields were susceptible to conduction block within the central nervous system when the touch cells fired repetitively at frequencies that could readily be elicited with weak mechanical stimulation. In contrast, impulses originating from the central part of the receptive fields were less susceptible to block. 3. The morphology of touch cells revealed by intracellular injection of horseradish peroxidase suggested that conduction block occurred at specific bifurcation points where small cell processes joined the main process. Different physiological experiments supported this conclusion. 4. In some touch cells, bifurcation points with particularly low safety margins of conduction operated as low-pass filters, limiting the frequency of impulses capable of invading certain branches. 5. The results suggest that mechanical stimuli which would likely be encountered by the animal can lead to conduction block within its central nervous system and as a result modify its integrative activities.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018277"} {"pmid": "1018278", "title": "The thermal sensitivity of the polymodal nociceptors in the monkey.", "content": "The thermal sensitivity of the polymodal nociceptors in the monkey. 1. The static and dynamic sensitivities to thermal and mechanical stimuli of polymodal nociceptors in hairy skin of the anaesthetized monkey have been investigated by recording activity in their primary nerve fibres. 2. Polymodal nociceptors responded to skin pricking, pinching and heating to temperatures higher than 40 degrees C. They did not respond to touch, stretch or cold. The conduction velocity of their axons was from 0.6 to 1.1 m/sec. 3. Three types of cutaneous receptive fields have been observed: single spot-like areas of 1-2 mm2; multiple spot-like areas of 1-2 mm2; and larger areas up to 25 mm2 with heterogeneous sensitivity. 4. Polymodal nociceptors were subjected to heat stimuli that commenced from a 33 or 37 degrees C adapting temperature. A series consisted of heating their receptive fields to 43, 45, 47 and 50 degrees C from one or the other adapting temperatures at a constant rate of 0.2 degrees C/sec. Each heat stimulus intensity was maintained for 4 min after which the skin was returned to the adapting temperature. Immediately after the first series the identical series was repeated in order to determine the effect of prior heating upon the dynamic responses to re-heating. The dynamic responses were characterized by three phases: an initiation of a discharge at a threshold level of skin temperature; a dynamic discharge during the suprathreshold change, that reached a peak frequency when the temperature reached its maximum; and an adaptation phase while the temperature remained at the high intensity. Adaptation was rapid initially, and then slowed during the final minutes at the high intensity. 5. Adapting the receptive field to either 33 degrees C or to 37 degrees C before the heat stimuli did not affect the sensitivity and the discharge pattern of the polymodal nocicpetors. 6. During the first series of stimulations, the threshold at which the individual polymodal nociceptors began to discharge to heat stimuli varied from 40 to 46.5 degrees C.

The birthplaces of these patients show an unequal geographic distribution of cystinosis, the incidence being higher in Western France. Compared with the total number of live births during the period 1959 to 1972, the minimum incidence of the condition in the province of Brittany is 1 per 25 909, and the gene frequency 0.0062.

The mean inbreeding coefficient is 530 X 10(-5), a figure 23 times higher than the mean coefficient of France. An indirect test of inbreeding, the distance between parental birthplaces, was studied, first using the French administrative boundaries, second by using kilometers. This distance was constantly smaller for the parents of patients than for the parents of controls.

The organization of repetitive and single copy DNA sequences in sea urchin DNA has been examined with the single strand specific nuclease S1 from Aspergillus. Conditions and levels of enzyme were established so that single strand DNA was effectively digested while reassociated divergent repetitive duplexes remained enzyme resistant. About 25% of sea urchin DNA reassociates with repetitive kinetics to form S1 resistant duplexes of two distinct size classes derived from long and short repetitive sequences in the sea urchin genome. Fragments 2,000 nucleotides long were reassociated to Cot 20 and subjected to controlled digestion with S1 nuclease. About half of the resistant duplexes (13% of the DNA) are short, with a mode size of about 300 nucleotide pairs. This class exhibits significant sequence divergence, and principally consists of repetitive sequences which were interspersed with single copy sequences. About one-third of the long duplexes (4% of the DNA) are reduced in size after extensive S1 nuclease digestion to about 300 nucleotide pairs.

Hemoglobin Vancouver is a new abnormal hemoglobin with an amino acid substitution of the normal aspartyl residue 73 of the beta chain by a tyrosyl residue. It was discovered in a man of Chinese descent in association with beta thalassemia. It was subsequently detected in a sister in association with normal Hb A. The oxygen affinity of the abnormal hemoglobin is decreased but its subunit interaction is normal. The Bohr effect may be slightly increased. This is the fourth abnormal hemoglobin to be found with a substitution at beta73. The others are Hb C-Harlem (alpha2beta2 6Glu replaced by Val and 73 Asp replaced by Asn), Hb Korle-Bu (alpha2beta2 73Asp replaced by Asn), and Hb Mobile (alpha2beta2 73Asp replaced by Val). Although Hb Mobile was found in the present studies to have a decreased affinity for oxygen, Hbs C-Harlem and Korle-Bu have been reported to be normal. These observations of functional differences for variants of beta73 added to earlier observations of the role of the normal beta73 residue to the aggregation of sickle deoxyhemoglobin indicate that this position of the molecule may be important in intra as well as intermolecular interactions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018330"} {"pmid": "1018331", "title": "Congruency of phylogenies derived from different proteins.

This communication examines the question of phylogenetic congruency--i.e., whether or not the branching order of evolutionary trees is independent of the protein studied. It was found that trees constructed for birds on the basis of immunological comparison of their transferrins, albumins, and ovalbumins agree approximately with a published tree based on the amino acid sequences of their lysozymes c. This congruency is especially noteworthy with respect to the phylogenetic position of the chachalaca, a Mexican bird classified on morphological grounds in the family Cracidae of the order Galliformes. At the protein level, this species differs as much from non-cracid galliform birds as does the duck, which belongs to another order. Despite the organismal similarity between cracid and non-cracid galliform birds, the molecular relationship is remote. If this contrast between organismal and molecular results had been based on comparative studies with only lysozyme, one could have ascribed the contrast to the possibility that chachalaca lysozyme was paralogous, rather than orthologous, to the other bird lysozymes c.

The effects of atropine on normal and anomalous A-V pathways were investigated using HBE in 40 cases consisting of 25 subjects without pre-excitation (group I) and 15 cases with WPW syndrome (group II). In group I, A-H interval shortened with a mean decrease of 30% following the administration of atropine (p less than 0.001), while P-A and H-V intervals as well as QRS duration remained unchanged. In group II the electrocardiogram showed WPW syndrome pattern (pattern W) in 12, normalization (pattern N) in 1 and both patterns (pattern WN) in 2 cases during the control study. In 10 cases pattern W persisted after atropine. Atropine changed pattern W to WN in 2 cases, WN to W in 1, WN to N in 1 and N to WN in one case. P-d interval remained constant. Atropine had no effect on the conduction time within atrium. His-Purkinje system and anomalous A-V pathway, but accelerated the transmission through A-V node. Atropine decreased the QRS duration of pattern W in 11 of 13 cases showing pattern W or WN both before and after atropine. Since the QRS duration showing pattern W correlated with P-H interval and (see article) and had the negative correlation with H-d interval (p less than 0.001), fusion mechanism was considered as the genesis of electrocardiographic pattern in most cases with WPW syndrome. Atropine influence was negative on QRS complex of pattern W i2 cases showing the co-existence of Kent bundle and James fibers or exclusive Kent bundle conduction. In the latter case the selection of antiarrhythmic agents should be made with caution. A-V dissociation with junctional rhythm developed in 9 cases (4 in group II) within 2 and a half minutes after atropine. The duration was as short as 15 seconds or less in 6 cases. The continuous tracing is necessary not to miss the AV dissociation. The disappearance of delta wave after atropine was observed during the change to pattern WN and the occurrence of A-V junctional rhythm or beat in 5 of 12 cases showing pattern W prior to the drug administration, and right bundle branch block was disclosed in 2 cases. The normalization of QRS complex also made it possible to measure His-Purkinje conduction time. In this point atropine is superior to the other antiarrhythmic agents which prolong H-V interval. Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia induced after atropine revealed shorter A-H with fixed H-V and V-A intervals, compared with the tachycardia before atropine in one case.

The purpose of this study was mainly to examine some basic problems of the Hanssen technique for the evaluation of single nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR). Firstly, experiments were performed using Wistar rats to determine the amount of C14-ferrocyanide necessary to give sufficient C14 radioactivity in dissected nephrons. Using 200 muCi of C14-ferrocyanide, the samples of dissected nephrons provided only twice as much as background. Hence, we chose the amount of 600 to 700 muCi of C14-ferrocyanide for each rat in the later experiments, which yielded the radioactivity 5 to 6 times as much as background. Secondly, the homogeneity of intrarenal C14-ferrocyanide distribution was tested. Five superficial (SUP) and juxtamedullary (JM) proximal tubules four different regions were dissected and the radioactivity of those nephrons was counted. The distribution of C14-ferrocyanide in each piece was representative of the overal distribution. The summary of morphologic and clearance studies were as follows. The mean lengths of proximal tubules of 40 SUP nephrons, 5.3 +/- 0.2 mm, and 39 JM nephrons, 6.3 +/- 0.1 mm, were significantly different (P less than 0.01). The mean glomerular diameter of the JM nephrons, 110 +/- 2.7 mu, was significantly greater than that of the SUP nephrons, 95 +/- 3.1 mu (P less than 0.01). The mean SNGFR of 129 SUP nephrons, 23.4 +/- 4.2 nl/min/100g Body Weight (BW), and that of 130 JM nephrons, 34.5 +/- 5.1 nl/min/100g BW, were significantly different (P less than 0.01). The ratio of superficial/juxtamedullary nephron glomerular filtration rate (S/JM Ratio) was 0.85 +/- 0.02.

The role and relative contributions of different forms of energy to the synthesis of amino acids and other organic compounds on the primitive earth, in the parent bodies or carbonaceous chondrites, and in the solar nebula are examined. A single source of energy or a single process would not account for all the organic compounds synthesized in the solar system. Electric discharges appear to produce amino acids more efficiently than other sources of energy and the composition of the synthesized amino acids is qualitatively similar to those found in the Murchison meteorite. Ultraviolet light is also likely to have played a major role in prebiotic synthesis. Although the energy in the sun's spectrum that can be absorbed by the major constituents of the primitive atmosphere is not large, reactive trace components such as H2S and formaldehyde absorb at longer wavelengths where greater amounts of energy are available and produce amino acids by reactions involving hot hydrogen atoms. The thermal reaction of CO + H2 + NH3 on Fischer-Tropsch catalysts generates intermediates that lead to amino acids and other organic compounds that have been found in meteorites. However, this synthesis appears to be less efficient than electric discharges and to require a special set of reaction conditions. It should be emphasized that after the reactive organic intermediates are generated by the above processes, the subsequent reactions which produce the more complete biochemical compounds are low temperature homogenous reactions occurring in an aqueous environment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018332"} {"pmid": "1018335", "title": "Experimental studies of effects of acute renal venous congestion on renal function --with particular reference to renal arterio-venous plasma sodium difference.", "content": "Experimental studies of effects of acute renal venous congestion on renal function --with particular reference to renal arterio-venous plasma sodium difference.

The effect of different inputs into the atrioventricular node (AVN) on orthograde impulse transmission was studied. In rabbit AVN preparations, two stimulating electrodes were placed posteriorly in the crista terminalis (P) and anteriorly in the interatrial septum (A). Electric stimuli were given individually (P,A) or simultaneously (P + A). Premature stimulation, when properly timed (e.g. 70-100 msec at the basic cycle length of 400 msec) achieved AV conduction only in P + A but not in either P or A. Action potentials (APs) in AVN in this situation revealed an incomplete depolarization in P and A, but became a fullsized AP in P + A. This might be explained by summation. The site of simmation appeared to be in the upper node, because APs distal to the middle node as well as APs in the His bundle behaved in an \"all or none\" fashion. Time intervals between the stimulus artifact and the His bundle AP upstroke (S-H) were shorter in P + A was enhanced with the decrease of the S-H difference between P and A suggested an accelerated conduction by summation in AVN. A hyperpolarizing current flowing through the suction electrodes which were attached in the vicinity of AVN caused different amounts of S-H shortening between P and A input. The above data support the view that AVN has a summating property engendered by the slow inactivation of ionic channel on which the upstroke of AP depends and by the limited number and sites of atrial inputs which might connect with some preferential paths within the AVN.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018336"} {"pmid": "1018337", "title": "Responses of the His-Purkinje conducting system to supraventricular premature beats--in vitro and in vivo canine experiments on ventricular aberrant conduction.", "content": "Responses of the His-Purkinje conducting system to supraventricular premature beats--in vitro and in vivo canine experiments on ventricular aberrant conduction.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018337"} {"pmid": "1018338", "title": "Automaticity and time-dependent conduction disturbance produced in canine ventricular myocardium.

Significance of the automaticity was discussed in relation to the ventricular arrhythmias encountered in very early stage of myocardial infarction. 2) In in situ canine hearts, chloropromazine induced time (preceding cycle length)-dependent decrease in conduction velocity within the ventricle. Thus QRS-duration of non-premature beats was lenghtened at rapid pacing rates while QRS-duration of atrial premature beats was lengthened also at short coupling intervals in the drug-treated dogs.

Voltage clamp experiments also disclosed a transient increase in slow inward current in premature excitations, of which time course was very similar to that in action potential changes. These results suggested that prolongation of action potential durations was mainly brought about by changes in slow inward current and this was partly related to the characteristics of recovery from inactivation of this current. An increase of slow inward current produced depressed conduction on the subsequent beat and it also shared the effects to extend the areas of slow response.

A standardized experimental impact injury model was developed to produce soft tissue trauma that simulated impact injuries to soft tissue overlying the cranium. An aluminum impact instrument was constructed so as to deliver a measured amount of energy to a finite area of soft tissue over a fixed foundation. Impact injury resulted in readily demonstrable changes in the morphology of the tissue and its blood flow. As measured by the distribution of fluorescein dye, the blood flow to the impact site was considerably less than that to unwounded tissue. The magnitude of this reduction in blood flow to the site of injury was proportional to the level of energy absorbed by the tissue. The injury to skin resulting from the impact was restricted primarily to the subcutaneous tissue and panniculus carnosus. Loss of adipose tissue and necrosis of skeletal muscle fibers in these layers were associated with the development of a dense inflammatory infiltrate. The structural damage to the tissue and its reduced perfusion were correlated with the tissue's increased susceptibility to infection by bacteria delivered either by direct infection or as a result of a bacteremia. The magnitude of this damage to the host's defenses is, again, directly related to the amount of energy absorbed per unit area of soft tissue. Antibiotics did suppress the growth of bacteria in these experimental soft tissue impact wounds, even when treatment was delayed eight hours. While the therapeutic efficacy of antibiotics was readily apparent in soft tissue impact wounds, the degree to which they could suppress bacteria in these wounds was less than that encountered in the treated control wounds not subjected to impact.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018372"} {"pmid": "1018373", "title": "Provider performance in the recognition and treatment of telemetered electrocardiogram patterns.", "content": "Provider performance in the recognition and treatment of telemetered electrocardiogram patterns.

The Yom Kippur War and its stressful aftermath created a number of special psychological effects in Israeli schools. During that period mental health and counseling services were available and made use of in the educational system. Extensive experiences permit an attempt to delineate guidelines for future school psychological emergency interventions. These guidelines rest on the supposition that the planning and delivery of professional emergency interventions resemble those governing routine mental health services in a number of crucial aspects. Firstly, the need for an educated anticipation of problems, their kinds, their ecology and other characteristics. Schematically, three categories of emergency reactions could be expected in schools: shock and grief, and other acute disturbances; fear and its psychological concomitants; confusion, perplexity, and their attitudinal accompaniments. It is noted that the stressful event can also generate positive effects. Secondly, the necessity for a preliminary, on the spot, assessment of psychological affliction in any specific emergency case. Such examination should be done against the background of the total emergency situation (locally and country-wide), as well as the chronic characteristics of the particular school or system. Third, the requirement for deliberate planning of the intervention program. In this phase, judgements have to be made about the recipients of the aid, the methods of help and the levels at which professional services will be extended.

Others tolerate uncertainty better if the culture assisted them in developing skills for becoming involved in short term immediate objectives without having to mortgage the present for a vague future.

It was found that in a somewhat cyclical succession, patient deviance was followed by the staff's spontaneous moral indignation. But thanks to the intervention of a medical idelogy, this was channelled and transformed into an impersonal, value free, non-judgemental reaction. It seems that as a first step towards humanizing their relationships with patients, the staff must be prepared to engage in a clarification and definition of their moral convictions.

Of 160 patients with pernicious anaemia, none had current duodenal ulceration, whereas in a random population of similar age and sex distribution some 5% would be expected to have a duodenal ulcer. Parietal-cell antibody was detected in serum from 8 of 169 men (4-7%) and from 2 to 31 women (6-4%) with duodenal ulceration. None of the 200 duodenal ulcer patients had antibody to intrinsic factor. The prevalence of these antibodies in duodenal ulcer patients was not significantly different from that in control subjects of similar age and sex distribution. The decreased prevalance of duodenal ulcer in pernicious anaemia patients implies that pernicious anaemia must be less prevalent in duodenal ulcer patients than in a random population; but it appears that this cannot be attributed to an absence of gastric autoimmunity in patients with duodenal ulcer. To resolve this disrepancy, we suggest that pernicious anaemia is determined not only by autoimmune reactions, but also by independent genetic and environmental factors which influence the state of the gastric mucosa.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018665"} {"pmid": "1018666", "title": "Human pulmonary dirofilariasis associated with pleural effusion.", "content": "Human pulmonary dirofilariasis associated with pleural effusion.

Four studies were conducted to investigate the relation between audition and vision in the human newborn. In all four studies visual activity was recorded with infrared corneal-reflection technqiues in 1- to 4-day-old infants. Study 1 concerned the effects of sound at midline on scanning in darkness and in a lit but formless field. In the dark compared to light, newborns maintained better eye control, centralized fixations, scanned with smaller eye movements, scanned less dispersely, and were wider-eyed. In a blank field, sound caused newborns to maintain better eye control, centralize fixations, scan with small eye movements, constrain fixations, and be wider-eyed than in silence. Sound had little effect on scanning in the dark beyond constraining fixations. Study 2 concerned the effects of sound at midline on scanning vertical and horizontal edges. Visual activity was different for the two visual stimuli. While viewing a vertical rather than a horizontal edge, newborns maintained better eye control and fixated closer to the position of the vertical edge. Newborns crossed the position of the horizontal edge when that edge was present. Sound affected scanning in general, centralizing fixations for newborns not already looking centrally, but sound did not affect the frequency of edge crossing. Study 3 concerned the effects of laterally presented sound on scanning spatially consonant or dissonant vertical bars. The major finding was that infants were sensitive to the spatial property of sound. Infants shifted fixations first toward and then gradually away from sound. Study 4 was an attempt to determine whether there is an effort constraint on the simultaneous functioning of auditory and visual systems. The effects of two differentially salient sounds on scanning two differentially salient visual stimuli were examined. Although the results appeared to support the idea of an effort constraint, the data were accounted for parsimoniously in terms of the spatial influence of sound of scanning. The data on visual activity were discussed in terms of the presence of inherent information-acquisition routines in the newborn.

Pentamidine is an aromatic diamidino compound synthesized originally for the therapy of trypanosomiasis. The pharmacologic effects of pentamidine vary, depending on its route of administration. In animals, the dominant effects have been a precipitous, transitory drop in blood pressure after injection and renal toxicity following repeated administration. To avoid the possibility of immediate toxic reactions associated with iv administration, we now usually give the drug im to humans. Further interest in pentamidine has been stimulated by its usefulness in the treatment of interstitial pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinii. In some patients receiving antineoplastic or immunosuppressive therapy who have superimposed P. carinii pneumonia, pentamidine may cause serious renal toxicity. Distribution and excretion studies in animals indicate pentamidine is deposited in tissues, with the greatest concentration in the kidneys, and gradually eliminated over a prolonged period. The mechanism of action of pentamidine against P. carinii or the means whereby fixation in tissues and subsequent toxicity occur have not been elucidated. Recent investigations to help clarify these points indicate that pentamidine inhibits dihydrofolate reductase in all tissues studied both in vitro and in vivo.

A single course of either cyclophosphamide (25, 50, 100 or 200 mg/kg), BCNU (2, 7.5, 15, or 30 mg/kg) or cytosine arabinoside (15, 30, 60, 90 mg/kg) resulted in dose-related inhibition of tumor DNA synthesis. The maximum decline in DNA synthesis that was produced by the highest dose of each agent was by 81%, 77% and 68% of untreated tumor values respectively. Adriamycin, however, even at lethal levels (10 mg/kg), did not elicit significant inhibition of tumor DNA synthesis. Radiotherapy (200 R, 500 R or 1000 R) also produced graded inhibition of tumor DNA synthesis. This model is potentially useful for the preclinical screening of therapuetic options in the treatment of neuroblastoma. Thus, single agent therapy, combination chemotherapy and combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy may be rapidly evaluated for possible clinical use.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018881"} {"pmid": "1018889", "title": "Studies on schistosomiasis. 8.

The influence of age on the susceptibility of sheep to infestation with Schistosoma mattheei. Twenty-eight Dorper wethers, allocated according to age into 4 groups of 7 animals each, and 1 group of 7 Merino wethers, were compared for susceptibility to Schistosoma mattheei infestation. The group mean ages of the Dorper sheep varied from 5-61 months and their live mass from 25-66 kg, while the Merinos were 8 months old and had a mean mass of 19 kg. Despite the marked differences in the age and live mass of the Dorper sheep and the inclusion of 2 breeds in the experiment, no statistically significant differences were found in cercariae which failed to penetrate the sheep the mean percentage development of cercariae to adult worms, worm distribution in the mesenteric and gastric radicles of the portal vein and the pulmonary arterial system, and worms not removed by perfusion. Significant differences between groups (5% significance level) were found, however, in the number of worms recovered from the hepatic portal system, and in the worm sex ratio. On 3 occasions the total number of eggs excreted per female schistosome in the mesentery per 24 hours differed significantly between groups, but each time a different group or groups of sheep were responsible for the variation which was probably due, therefore, not to the age or breed of the sheep, but to daily variations in individuals. Highly significant differences occurred in the infectivity of the 6 cercarial pools used for infestation in spite of standardized collection and handling of the cercariae. Possible reasons for this are discussed and a solution suggested. Frequent egg counts (5 per sheep per week) were done during the first 25 days of patency, until the sheep were slaughtered. Schistosome ova were detected in the faeces of only 1/18 sheep examined on Day +43 after infestation, and 3/17 on Day +44, whereafter this increased rapidly to 15/34 on Day +45, 25/33 on Day +46, etc. A highly significant correlation was found between the total worm egg excretion in the faeces of the sheep per day and the numbers of female schistosomes in the mesentery, especially shortly after the onset of egg production.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1018889"} {"pmid": "1018890", "title": "Observations on the transmission, immunology, clinical signs and chemotherapy of dourine (Trypanosoma equiperdum infection) in horses, with special reference to cerebro-spinal fluid.", "content": "Observations on the transmission, immunology, clinical signs and chemotherapy of dourine (Trypanosoma equiperdum infection) in horses, with special reference to cerebro-spinal fluid.

The influence of systemically administered Metrazol on behavior, electroencephalogram and body temperature has been studied in young and adult chickens. Distinct convulsions were induced by 30--50 mg./kg. Metrazol administered intravenously in adults: they consisted of an initial excited state, a tonic convulsion accompanied with opisthotonos, and finally, convulsive movements. During recovery from these convulsions, three distinct behaviors were observed: violent peck-like movement, watchful state and finally panting behavior. All of the birds receiving higher intravenous doses (60--100 mg./kg.) exhibited vigorous convulsions immediately after injection and death occurred in 100% of the birds receiving these doses. An intraperitoneal injection of 75--100 mg./kg. Metrazol produced typical convulsions in young and adult chickens. At these doses, convulsions consisted of an initial excited state, a tonic convulsion accompanied with opisthotonos, and convulsive movements which involved clonic and tonic phases. The threshold for evoking typical convulsions with intraperitoneal injection ranges between 50 and 60 mg./kg. Metrazol in young chickens. The intravenous threshold doses for evoking high amplitude (1--2 mV.) in the EEG of adult chickens was 60 mg./kg. Metrazol. High intraperitoneal doses of Metrazol(75-100 mg./kg.) produced typical spikes with large amplitude which were synchronous in the two hemispheres in both young and adult chickens. There was a marked increase in body temperature within 10 minutes after injection in all cases of 50 mg./kg. intravenous dose: maximum increase (at 40 min.) was 1.5 degrees C. as compared with controls, however, it decreased rapidly with panting behavior. The highest does (100 mg./kg.) produced a maximum increase in body temperature of 3 degrees C.

The effects of central administration of agents known to block the peripheral renin-angiotensin system were also investigated. It was shown that intraventricular renin increased water intake, blood pressure and ADH secretion and that these effects were blocked by saralasin.

The extent to which occupational radiation exposure contributes to cancer mortality is an influence on future world energy policy. It is also a factor in deciding the level of expenditure to reduce radiation levels experienced by workers. Here we discuss some of the difficulties in analysing the situation and present the results of some calculations which estimate the expected age-specific radiation mortalities from all inducible cancers and also from leukaemia separately. Using a high value for the average occupational exposure and a conservative estimate of the associated risk, we find that a survey of mortality among radiation workers must run over many years before sufficient data would be accumulated to resolve the effects of radiation-induced neoplasms from those arising from other causes. We show the advisability of determining the cause of death both of persons who remain employed in the industry and all for only a short time. Our estimates are based on maintenance of an occupationally exposed dose of one rad per person per year during the period of the survey which may extend over several decades. However, scaling of the estimates to any other exposure rates is easily performed. We also give estimates of the lowest risk coefficients detectable in a given observation time. Since for a work force of 3000 these lowest detectable values are an order of magnitude larger than those expected, it is clear that only a national or international survey can produce data adequate for even modest objectives.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019230"} {"pmid": "1019231", "title": "The influence of cosmetics and ointments on the spectral emissivity of skin.", "content": "The influence of cosmetics and ointments on the spectral emissivity of skin.

The Serber theory for deuteron stripping is employed to predict the shape of the neutron energy spectrum produced by 35 MeV deuterons (D+) on a thick beryllium target. In particular, the observation that the maximum of the neutron energy spectrum (at 0degrees relative to the deuteron beam direction) occurs at approximately 0-4Ed, where Ed is the incident deuteron energy, is explained reasonably well by the calculations. The explanation stems mainly from the fact that the stripping theory for thin targets predicts a narrow maximum at 0-5Ed, and thick target effects shift the maximum downward in energy to approximately 0-4Ed. A number of recent spectral measurements are in agreement with these predictions for a wide range of target materials and incident deuteron energies. The application of this theory also accounts for the previously observed Dd2-99 dependence of the absorbed dose in tissue,per unit charge of D+ ions on target, in the direction of the incident beam. This approximate Ed3 dependence is shown to be a characteristic property of deuteron stripping in a thick target and follows directly from the calculations that predict the neutron energy spectrum.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019232"} {"pmid": "1019233", "title": "Further results in nuclear scattering radiography.", "content": "Further results in nuclear scattering radiography.

In a family study of blood pressure levels in children, 452 of the parents had had a single continuous marriage.

The total respiratory resistance determined by means of the forced oscillation technique during spontaneous breathing demonstrates a variability which may be due (1) to variations of the resistance itself, (2) to the superposition of rapid oscillatory and slow respiratory signals, (3) to the presence in the breathing signals of harmonics the frequency of which is the same as that of the oscillations. In the present study we investigate the importance of the third cause of variability, in a mechanical system in which causes 1 and 2 have been excluded. It is shown that the presence of high frequency components in breathing is an important source of error in the measurement of instantaneous resistance and reactance. The error is larger at higher frequency and amplitude of breathing, lower frequency and amplitude of forced oscillations, and in the presence of a high respiratory impedance. The error is likely to be negligible when the frequency of the forced oscillation is high (e.g. 30 Hz). At lower frequencies, theinfluence of harmonies in breathing can be corrected by calculating average resistance or reactance values over one or more respiratory cycles.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019428"} {"pmid": "1019430", "title": "Measurement of 'closing volume' initiated from functional residual capacity.", "content": "Measurement of 'closing volume' initiated from functional residual capacity.

We studied discharge frequencies of 12 intrapulmonary chemoreceptors in the paleopulmonic lung of an emu (Dromiceius novaechollandiae) during unidirectional, artificial ventilation when step changes and static CO2 concentrations were given. Discharge frequency in afferent neurons from the receptors increased as intrapulmonary CO2 decreased. The response of the receptors to various static intrapulmonary CO2 concentrations was similar to that previously demonstrated for the duck and chicken. The median sensitivity of the emu receptors at one-half maximal discharge was 4.6 imp-(sec-0.01 F1CO2)-1. Discharge frequencies altered phasically in nine of 12 receptors when step changes in CO2 of 3.3% at 1.6 Hz were given in the unidirectional gas stream while four of 12 modulated their discharge when the CO2 changes were as rapid as 3.2 Hz. Hence, some receptors can respond to rapid fluctuations in CO2 in their microencironment.

Another series of studies, conducted on seven conscious cats, sought to identify hypoxic response thresholds and depression thresholds, by determining responses over a wide range of hypoxic stimulus intensities, and at different controlled alveolar PCO2. Response threshold was at about 65 torr PAO2. Under eucapnic conditions, ventilation began to fail at PAO2 about 30 torr due to failure of tidal volume. The frequency continued to increase even in the lowest range of PAO2. With hypocapnia no failure of ventilation, frequency, or tidal volume was seen even at the lowest PAO2, but with hypercapnia, the tidal volume began to fail at PAO2 about 50 torr. The minute volume however, continued to increase into the lowest range of PAO2, because the frequency continued to respond at a rate greater than the tidal volume was failing.

Blood pressure at the proximal phalanx was higher than that at the intermediate phalanx in all fingers except finger V.

In 15 normal subjects, blood pressure at the proximal phalanx was compared in fingers I, III, IV, and V, using 16, 20, 24 and 24 mm wide cuffs. Finger blood pressure was closest to arm systolic blood pressure when a 24-mm or 27-mm-wide cuff was used in fingers I, III, and IV, and with a 20-mm-wide cuff in finger V.

Glomerulotubular balance, defined as proportionality between filtered and reabsorbed sodium during inhibition of sodium reabsorption in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (diluting segment), was examined in anaesthetized dogs by gradual reduction of renal arterial pressure. In control experiments, glomerulotubular balance applied over the whole rante of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) examined but was absent after acetazolamide administration (30 mg/kg/body wt) at GFR above 50% of control. Hence, the inhibitory effect of acetazolamide varied with GFR. At control GFR, acetazolamide reduced tubular sodium reabsorption by 32 +/- 2% chloride reabsorption by 34 +/- 3%, and bicarbonate reabsorption by 52 +/- 2%; no significant effect was observed at GFR below 50% of control. For each bicarbonate ion, three sodium ions and two chloride ions were inhibited. Measurements of renal oxygen consumption and heat accumulation rates showed that acetazolamide did not reduce renal metabolic rate significantly. It is proposed that energy-requiring hydrogen ion secretion occurs at unchanges rate during variations in GFR but that back leakage of hydrogen ions varies with bicarbonate concentration in tubular fluid. Net secretion of hydrogen ions is associated with bicarbonate transport into the intercellular space and is linked with sodium reabsorption. The concentration difference of bicarbonate salts over the tight junction (zonula occludens), which is much less permeable to bicarbonate than to sodium chloride, provides the osmotic force for reabsorption of water and sodium chloride from the tubular lumen into the intercellular space. Glomerulotubular balance is mediated by variations in filtered amounts of bicarbonate.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019572"} {"pmid": "1019577", "title": "The metabolism in man of intravenously injected iodine-labelled trascobalamin I not saturated with cobalamin.", "content": "The metabolism in man of intravenously injected iodine-labelled trascobalamin I not saturated with cobalamin.

Since 1972 a series of experiments (Skoog, Ohlsén & Sohn, 1972; 1975; Ohlsén, 1976) has been performed to elucidate the potential of perichondrial grafts to generate cartilage. In 1974 Sohn & Ohlsén demonstrated in rabbits that tracheal cartilage could be reconstructed from free perichondrial grafts. As these studies were carried out with an intact tracheal mucosa a series of experiments was conducted in rabbits, and reported in this paper, in which a tracheal section containing two cartiliages and the covering mucous membrane was removed and replaced with a free perichondrial graft taken from the ear. New cartilege formed in all animals. The reconstructed portion of trachea was partly covered by ciliated cells of normal appearance, partly by low epithelium with microvilli. These latter areas were mainly within the central parts of the regenerated mucosa. The use of perichondrial grafts for tracheal reconstruction was also studied in two series of dogs. In four dogs a tracheal section, consisting of two comlete cartilages with the covering mucosa, was completely removed. The circumferential defect was reconstructed by free perichondrial grafats from rib cartilage. They were placed on two fascial flaps which had been raised from the adjacent muscles, rotated into the defect and sutured for complete coverage. Regeneration of cartilage occurred in all dogs, producing a biologic framework. The lining of the reconstructed tracheal section was completely restored by epithelialization from the surrounding mucosa. Low epithelial cells were successively replaced by columnar ciliated cells typical of the respiratory tract. The morphological development of the regenerated epithelium was demonstrated by electron microscopy. The regenerated mucosa exhibited normal function by passing mucus across the reconstructed area. This was recorded by filming at low speed using Cardio-green as indicator. All the animals of this series developed tracheal stenosis within the reconstructed portion. Another experiment was therefore carried out in which four dogs were subjected to the same operative procedure. Postoperatively, however, during the phase of healing, a silicon tube was inserted and left in situ to maintain expansion of the reconstructed portion. By this means stenosis could be prevented with good regeneration of the mucosal lining.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019586"} {"pmid": "1019587", "title": "Carcinoma of the external ear.", "content": "Carcinoma of the external ear.

Carcinoma of the external ear occurs in Denmark with a frequency of 1.2 cases per 100 000 inhabitants and constitutes approximately 6% of all skin cancers. In the present material 67% of the tumours were squamous-cell carcinomas and 30% were basal-cell carcinomas. These forms of tumours were most frequent in elderly men who have had outdoor employment. Half of these tumours were sited on the helix and lobe, while one quarter, respectively, were sited medially and laterally. 15% of the squamous-cell carcinomas recurred, 3% of the these with metastases of the regional lymph nodes. Of the basal-cell carcinomas 18% recurred but with no metastases of the regional lymph nodes. The frequency of recurrence did not depend on the site of the tumour on the ear, but it did increase with increasing tumour size. The 5-year survival rate without recurrence was 56% +/- 4% for the squamous-cell carcinomas, and for the basal-cell carcinomas 59% +/- 6.5%. It is concluded that surgical treatment is best suited for these tumours, and the minimum excision distance for basal-cell carcinomas of less than 3 cm in size should be 8 mm, while for squamous-cell carcinomas of the same size the distance should be 10 mm.

The radiographic findings showed a good correlation with the magnetic measurements, and further experiments will prove whether this method can partly replace presently used radiological investigations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019598"} {"pmid": "1019599", "title": "Cardiopulmoanry bypass hemorrhage: a surgeon's point of view.", "content": "Cardiopulmoanry bypass hemorrhage: a surgeon's point of view.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019599"} {"pmid": "1019608", "title": "Of death and euthanasia.", "content": "Of death and euthanasia.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019608"} {"pmid": "1019609", "title": "The Whampoa-Kallang malaria outbreak, 1974-5.", "content": "The Whampoa-Kallang malaria outbreak, 1974-5.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019609"} {"pmid": "1019610", "title": "Malignant melanomas of the upper respiratory tract.", "content": "Malignant melanomas of the upper respiratory tract.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019610"} {"pmid": "1019611", "title": "Photo coagulation in the management of retinal disorders--a preliminary report.", "content": "Photo coagulation in the management of retinal disorders--a preliminary report.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019611"} {"pmid": "1019612", "title": "Quality of life and the right to live.", "content": "Quality of life and the right to live.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1019612"} {"pmid": "1019614", "title": "Experience of a comprehensive infertility clinic in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Singapore.", "content": "Experience of a comprehensive infertility clinic in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Singapore.

The mean serum IgM level in the White patients with virus-A hepatitis was significantly higher than that in virus-B hepatitis (p less than 0,001). This difference was much more obvious than that in Black patients, mainly due to a much lower mean serum IgM response in Black patients with virus-A hepatitis. The reason for the blunted IgM response in Black patients with virus-A hepatitis is not known, but it may be related to a difference in the reaction against altered host tissues rather than any difference in antibody production against the virus per se.

Adjacent to the principal compound eye, the accessory eye is a small compound eye composed of about 20 ommatidia which are smaller in structure to the ommatidia of the principal compound eye.

II. Effects of amphibia; elucidation of desmosomal structure and basement membrane synthesis. The effects of far ultraviolet light irradiation upon an amphibian cornea were studied to compare the effects observed both quantitatively and ultrastructurally with data obtained after UV irradiation of mammalian corneas. The ultimate goal of this series of investigations is the elucidation of the alterations and the regeneration mechanisms, which might reflect existing morphological diversities among the species, observed in vertebrate corneas following exposure to UV light. It was found that while the epithelial cells undergo oedema after low dose exposures and are gradually damaged after high doses of UV light, 2-4 days leter a new epithelium has been formed. Intercellular permeability is increased by low dose exposure as was detected by the penetration of Ruthenium Red into the intercellular clefts. Under these conditions desmosomal structure revealed a 21-laminar configuration. The basement membrane of the amphibian, unlike that of the mammal, does not dissolve away upon exposure but shows localized disruptions which are thought to accommodate the passage of leucocytes from stroma to epithelium. That a new basement membrane is subsequently formed is evident by the existence of extracellular and intracellular secretion granules. In comparison to irradiated rabbit corneas, this stroma remains remarkably at the same thickness following a high dose exposure although a noticeable disorganization of collagen arrangement is apparent. Finally, as in the case of the rabbit corneas, a secondary degeneration of endothelium was observed 4 days after a moderate dose exposure.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1020019"} {"pmid": "1020018", "title": "Quantitative and comparative ultrastructure of the vertebrate cornea.

The cornea of this salamander consists of relatively thick epithelium and basement membrane and thin Descemet's membrane, unlike the mammalian corneas. The outermost epithelial cells contain Ruthenium Red stainable extracellular filaments and intracellular vesicles which are thought to play a role in the process of lubricating the corneal surface. Occluding junctions have been observed in the apical region of the superficial epithelial cells and are considered as barriers to the intercellular passage of material. A thin substantia propria (stroma) consists of about 40 collagenous highly organized lamellae.

Muscle regeneration was studied by light and electron microscopy in soleus muscles of rat. After segmental crushing the number of fibres increased in some muscles within 30 days, indicating that numerical hyperplasia can take place. Locally applied Ringer solution of 60-70 degrees C caused necrosis of myofibres but left satellite cells and blood supply largely intact. Following phagocytosis, four mechanisms of regeneration were seen. (1) Lost fibres were replaced by clusters of myotubes formed by satellite cells within persisting basal lamina tubes. These clusters displaced the surrounding endomysium and looked like longitudinally 'split' fibres. (2) Viable fibre fragments fused with satellite cells. (3) Satellite cells of surviving fibres proliferated and fused to myotubes localized beneath the basal lamina. (4) Thin new fibres occurred in the interstitium. Their origin remained unknown. After 6 months the mean size of the new myofibres was normal, but the scatter of diameters was increased, central nuclei, fibre 'spliting' and branching, and fibrosis were prominent. Staining for acetylcholinesterase revealed that many fibres were short and not innervated. The similarity with dystrophic muscles in man suggested, that the most prominent histological changes in myopathic muscles may be due to attempts of regeneration.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1020021"} {"pmid": "1020022", "title": "The investigation of vinylcyclohexane dioxide as a polar dehydrant for the improved retention of lipids in the Spurr embedment.", "content": "The investigation of vinylcyclohexane dioxide as a polar dehydrant for the improved retention of lipids in the Spurr embedment.

Within 10 min myocardial cell nucleoli show a nucleolonema fragmentation, and during the following 3 hours they acquire the nucleolar segregation pattern. Fourteen hours after drug injection, nucleolar morphology again becomes normal, while areas of focal degeneration, characterized by damaged mitochondria and enlarged smooth reticulum cisternae, appear in the sarcoplasm. One to 3 days later the degeneration process involves the myofibrillar component, and after 50 days the great majority of myocardial ventricular cells is damaged. The early appearance and the functional significance of nucleolar segregation support the hypothesis that adriamycin cardiotoxicity might be dependent on its ability to bind to myocardial cell DNA.

Two cell lines derived from a primary MSV-M-induced tumor in a BALB/c mouse were studied. One line (MS-2) was subject only to continuous tissue culture transfer (tct). After 21 tct, MS-2 cells produced progressive tumors (MS-2 tumors) in syngeneic hosts. The second cell line (MS-2T) was established by cultivation of a MS-2 tumor. The ability to produce progressive tumors decreased with increased number of tct, in both cell lines. The virus content of MS-2 and MS-2T cells was very low, as shown by uridine incorporation and electron microscopy. Immmunofluorescence tests demonstrated that antigens different from the viral MSV-M antigens were present on the cell lines, and that antigenic changes occurred with increased number of tct. Serum of mice bearing progressive MS-2 tumors reacted with MS-2T cells when these cells produced progressive tumors and did not react with MS-2 cells when they produced regressing tumors. MS-2 cells producing regressing tumors reacted with serum from mice in which the MS-2 tumor had regressed and with serum from mice immunized with MS-2T cells at late tct when they were poorly oncogenic. The antigenic changes seemed, therefore, to parallel the decrease of malignancy. A chromosomal analysis carried out on MS-2 and MS-2T cells, when both produced progressive tumors, showed a modal number of 48 and 44, respectively. MS-2T cells showed a large acrocentric chromosome. In contrast, the MS-2 cells at late tct, when they gave regressing tumors, showed a modal number of 60 and a wide range of distribution of chromosome number.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1020048"} {"pmid": "1020055", "title": "Ultrastructural changes produced in cultured, adriamycin-treated myocardial cells.", "content": "Ultrastructural changes produced in cultured, adriamycin-treated myocardial cells.

It is therefore possible to introduce enzyme-laden liposomes into two sites within the cytoplasm of cells previously lacking such enzymes. The first site is gained after enzyme-laden liposomes are phagocytosed into the lysosomal apparatus. Liposomes coated with immunoglobulins engender their own uptake by inducing the Fc receptor of phagocytic cells to launch ingestion of the vector as if it were an opsonized bacteria or virus against which the host had mounted an immune response. As for the second site, described here, involving enzyme deficiencies of the free cytosol, these may be corrected when liposomes have lysolecithin incorporated as a fusogen. The fusogen induces merger of the liposomal membrane with that of the plasma membrane presumably by virtue of the capacity of lysolecithin to engender mixed, fusion-prone micelles. Introjection of enzymes or other sequestered molecules is accomplished without access of these to external solutes, such as calcium. Consequently, uptake of enzyme cannot be due to trivial factors such as pinocytosis induced by lysolecithin or to phagocytosis per se.

Ethereal extract, fiber, ash, calcium, phosphorus and iron content of the two raw seeds have been also assayed. 2. The levels of most of the amino acids were also estimated in the raw and cooked seeds. It was found that tryptophan- and sulphur-containing amino acids were the most limiting ones. Cooking the seeds by the same methods commonly used in Syria resulted in the loss of most of the amino acids, with the exception of lysine and tryptophan which were slightly increased. 3.

The proximal pars distalis undergoes a great deal of seasonal variation in size, weight and nature of pituicytes. 3. The percentage composition of acidophils and cyanophils in the proximal pars distalis show a reciprocal relationship during the year. The acidophils predominate during the restitution phase of the gonads while the cyanophils preponderate among the different cell types during the breeding season. 4. The chromophobes do not show any significant fluctuation in numerical abundance in relation to gonadal activity. 5. Cyanophils of the proximal pars distalis undergo changes with change in gonadal activity Concentration of glycoproteinaceous material is extremely low during the restitution phase but high during the maturation phase.

A correlative cytological and histochemical study has been made of oogenesis in birds (pigeon, Columbia livia; brown dove, Streptopelia senegalensis; ring dove, S. dacaocto; domestic fowl. Gallus domesticus; and quail, Coturnix coturnix). BALBIANI'S vitelline body consisting of large yolk nucleus, mitochondria, GOLGI bodies and lipid bodies of variable composition is gradually developed in the juxtanuclear cytoplasm of their young oocytes. Histochemical tests indicate that the yolk nucleus consists mainly of RNA, protein and lipoprotein. Mitochondria occur in the form of granules, rods and filaments having a phospholipid-protein composition. The lipid bodies are in the form of granules (composed of phospholipid and triglycerides) and spheres (made up of triglycerides and cholesterol and/or its esters). The organelles consisting of lipoprotein are preserved after classical techniques of cytology whereas the lipid bodies are mostly dissolved. With the growth of oocyte during previtello-genesis the various cell components of BALBIANI'S vitelline body are dispersed in the outer ooplasm where they further multiply and finally most of them are placed in the cortical layer. At the same time, many chromophilic and argentophilic elements of lipoprotein nature are formed in the follicular epithelium, adjacent to plasma membrane of oocyte and in the peripheral ooplasm during previtellogenesis, which gradually accumulate in the central ooplasm where the yolk vesicles first appear. Most of the lipid droplets consisting of triglycerides and cholesterol and/or its esters are depleted from the large previtellogenic oocytes. The possible significance of various ooplasmic structures, which accumulate during previtellogenesis, has been discussed. Corresponding to the development, multiplication and accumulation of various ooplasmic components during previtellogenesis the chromosomes develop the configuration of lampbrush and are the active sites for the synthesis of RNA and protein, which simultaneously accumulate in the ooplasm. The cytological and histochemical characteristics of follicle cells indicate that they are active in the secretion of lipids, glycogen, proteins and RNA which are apparently transported into the growing oocyte. The association of several lipid bodies with some phagocytotic vacuoles adjacent to the plasma membrane of growing previtellogenic oocyte has supported this suggestion. Several follicle cells as such degenerate during previtellogenesis and their products in the form of DNA, RNA, protein and lipoprotein also seem to be absorbed directly or indirectly by the growing oocyte. During early vitellogenesis, the yolk vesicles are formed in the central ooplasm by the activity of ooplasmic structures especially the chromophilic and argentophilic elements. They are ultimately transformed into yolk bodies of variable morphology and chemical composition, which are arrayed in alternating concentric spheres (yellow and white) and consist of proteinlipoprotein, triglycerides, carbohydrates, RNA etc...", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1020422"} {"pmid": "1020433", "title": "Surgical treatment of vascular lesions of the spinal cord.", "content": "Surgical treatment of vascular lesions of the spinal cord.

After oral administration of glucose, however, a biphasic stimulation of the exocrine function was observed. During the first 15 minutes when insulin secretion increases independently of the blood glucose increase, all exocrine pancreatic functions are transiently stimulated, too.

The clearance of 133Xe from the canine liver was studied in 17 dogs and by screening out extrahepatic radioactivity it was found that the true intrahepatic clearance is monoexponential. The slower components seen in the multiexponential curve recorded without screening represent 133Xe in tissue other than the liver and much of this activity was shown to originate from 133Xe which accumulates in the stomach and intestines.

Autoregulation of the cerebral blood flow is a wellknown fact. In normal man the arterial pressure can vary from 80 mm Hg to 150 mm Hg without a change in the normal cerebral blood flow of 50 ml/100 g/min. The mechanism which is responsible for this autoregulation is not clearly understood. Several theories were proposed to explain this phenomenon. 1. The tissue pressure increases with an increase of the arterial pressure. A mechanical process should neutralize an increase of the cerebral blood flow. 2. The metabolic theory says that a decrease of the blood pressure, without a change of metabolism, involves an increase of the PaCO2, and a decrease of the PaO2. Those two factors provoke a decrease of the vascular tone. 3. The myogenic theory explains autoregulation by the fact that a change of the transmural pressure in the small vessels, involves a change in the activity of the smooth muscles of the vessels. 4. The exact mechanism of the autonomic nervous system in the autoregulation of the cerebral blood flow is still obscure. In some pathological conditions autoregulation is completely lost or is functioning not optimal: hypoxia, hypercapnia and brain contusion. We have measured the cerebral blood flow before and after an intravenous injection of 5 mg thiopental (Pentothal) on occasion of a carotid angiography in man. We noticed a decrease of the cerebral blood flow and at the same moment a decrease of the arterial pressure. We thought that maybe barbiturates could influence autoregulation. Our results could not prove this hypothesis. For ethical reasons we could not make the necessary measurements to prove or to reject this hypothesis (i.e. intracranial pressure, deep controlled hypotension). In the literature there are arguments which support this hypothesis although most workers found an intact autoregulation after a barbiturate anesthesia. Some workers saw that the increase of the cerebral blood flow by increasing the PaCO2 was depressed by barbiturates and exhausted by halothane and cyclopropane. As autoregulation is a more vulnerable mechanism than CO2 reactivity as seen in clinical situations, it could be true that anesthetics do influence autoregulation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1020637"} {"pmid": "1020638", "title": "Pneumothorax during anesthesia with changes in ECG.", "content": "Pneumothorax during anesthesia with changes in ECG.

The mature eggs are more in long photoperiod treated fish than in controls exposed to 12 hours/day photoperiod. In long photoperiod treated fish, prespawning period is reduced considerably.

Subendocardial infarction was defined as typical chest apin (greater than 15 minutes), serum enzyme elevation and persistent (greater than 48 hours) new T wave inversion and/or S-T segment depression in the absence of new pathologic Q waves. Fifty consecutive patients were defined, followed in a prospective manner and subjected to early coronary arteriography. A prior history of unstable angina was found in 33 patients (66 per cent); 22 patients (44 per cent) had significant dysrhythmias during the acute hospital phase, and seven patients (14 per cent) had evidence of mild left ventricular failure. Coronary arteriography demonstrated significant lesions (greater than 75 per cent narrowing in at least one vessel) in all 50 patients, with 30 patients (60 per cent) having either double- or triple-vessel disease. Follow-up (mean 10.6 months) revealed that 15 patients (30 per cent) had stable angina, 23 patients (46 per cent) unstable angina and only 12 patients (24 per cent) remained free of angina. Of 28 patients in a medically treated group, acute transmural infarctions developed in six (21 per cent) and one died (3 per cent). We conclude that subendocardial infarction is symptomatically an unstable entity, is associated with severe coronary artery disease and, in a medically treated group, is followed by a significant incidence of early transmural myocardial infarction (21 per cent).

The role of circulatory congestion in the cardiorespiratory dysfunction of massive obesity was investigated in 18 patients. They were hypervolemic and had increased cardiac outputs proportionate to their weight. The average resting left ventricular filling pressure was within the upper limits of normal, but it increased to abnormally high levels with increased venous return of passive leg raising, and further during exercise. The elevations in pressure were associated with high resting central blood volumes which increased significantly with exertion. These findings are consistent with reduced distensibility of the central circulation in these congested patients. Weight reduction was accompanied by a decrease in central blood volumes and restoration of a normal left ventricular response in three of four patients and a return toward normal in one. The improvement in ventricular function with relief of edema and dyspnea. In 14 patients with normal or only minimal alveolar hypoventilation, there were no significant transpulmonary diastolic pressure gradients despite a marked increase in left ventricular end-diastolic pressures. One patient, after regaining weight, subsequently had an abnormal gas exchange and an increased pulmonary vascular resistance. He and two others with severe alveolar hypoventilation demonstrated cor pulmonale on a background of left ventricular dysfunction and congestion of the circulation. Two other patients, the least obese of the group, had hypoventilation and cor pulmonale with normal left ventricular pressures. Hypervolemia and a hyperdynamic state are common features of the obese patients. High cardiac output is maintained despite marked circulatory congestion which may result in generalized anasarca and increased ventricular filling pressures. This clinical syndrome may be present in obese patients without intrinsic heart disease and may be reversible with weight reduction.

Both immediate (wheal-flare reaction to histamine, bradykinin, prostaglandin E1, physical agents) and delayed sensitivity skin test reactions were within normal limits.

An understanding of the possible role of excessive angiotensin II activity in the pathogenesis of hypertension in every patient is therapeutically desirable, but it is frustrated by the lack of complete reliability of peripheral plasma measurements of renin activity. Observation of a clear-cut, supranormal decrease in blood pressure during the intravenous infusion of the angiotensin II antagonist, saralasin, has provided a far more reliable indication of the presence of an angiotensinogenic component in the hypertension. There is convincing evidence, however, that the presence of sodium-overload may prevent a decrease in blood pressure during saralasin infusion in persons known to have angiotensinogenic hypertension and that saralasin may cause a slight decrease in the blood pressure of normal subjects after natriuresis. For these reasons, it is important to study hypotensive responses to saralasin under standardized conditions after the administration of a potent diuretic and to compare the observations with those made on normal subjects under identical circumstances. This angiotensin antagonist may be used in the therapy of malignant or advanced hypertension and as an aid to therapeutic decisions in hypertensive patients who have known renal diseases, are taking oral contraceptives or have had severe trauma to the area of the kidneys. Side effects of saralasin are limited to excessive falls in blood pressure levels, mainly when vasodilators or ganglioplegic drugs are being taken at the time of the saralasin infusion, and excessive rises in blood pressure levels, especially in hypertensive subjects with \"low renin\" activity during high rates of saralasin infusion or after intravenous injections of large boluses.

If the processing of verbal information is seen as a reverberating system (after Hebb) and rehearsal as the manifestation of the echoes, then an analogous precedence effect can be empirically demonstrated.

Saralasin was infused into 52 untreated hypertensive patients. Immediate, transient pressor responses occurred in 94 per cent followed by a more gradual sustained change in blood pressure reaching an apogee in about 20 minutes. Most (86 per cent) patients with high renin values had sustained depressor responses irrespective of sodium balance. In contrast, during a normal sodium intake, the drug produced a neutral (45 per cent) or mildly pressor (50 per cent) response in patients with normal renin and pressor responses in patients with low renin values. Sodium depletion abolished pressor responses and resulted in depressor responses in 64 per cent of the patients with normal renin values. The pretreatment angiotensin level appeared to determine direction and amplitude of the response to saralasin, since increases and decreases in diastolic pressure exhibited a highly significant relationship to the control renin lever (r = 0.80, p less than 0.001). Above a neutral range of control renin values, from 2 to 7 ng Al/ml/hour, depressor responses were the rule, and below it pressor responses were consistent. Sodium balance also appeared to determine the amplitude of the response. In a subset of patients with similar renin values (range 1.4 to 2.2 ngAl/ml/hour), the induced pressor responses correlated directly with the 24-hour sodium excretion (p less than 0.05). For all patients, the induced pressure change also was related to the rate of sodium excretion (r = 0.53, p less than 0.001). The data suggest that saralasin behaves as a partial competitive agonist of angiotensin II. For this reason, saralasin testing provided only a rough physiologic validation for renin profiling. Thus, depressor responses expose most patients with high renin values. Neutral responses occur in many patients with normal renin and intermediate renin values. But pressor responses occur in subjects with either low or normal renin levels and they may reflect sodium and volume excess associated with a partial or relative absence of renin. Accordingly, due to its partial agonism, saralasin testing under-estimates the renin factor. Hence, the drug cannot be used to identify or exclude renin involvement in the blood pressure in the large majority of hypertensive patients who do not exhibit depressor responses. For them an agent devoid of agonism is required. Moreover, prior sodium depletion as a device to increase the frequency of depressor responses to saralasin does not measure intrinsic renin dependency of the blood pressure but rather the reactivity of the system to sodium depletion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1020762"} {"pmid": "1020764", "title": "Finding the relevant attribute of visual or auditory stimuli.", "content": "Finding the relevant attribute of visual or auditory stimuli.

Experiments were performed in 18 chloralose-anaesthetized, curarized cats in order to study the callosal transfer of somatic information originated in exteroceptive and proprioceptive receptors. Several cutaneous and deep nerves of the forelimb were prepared and stimulated with graded intensities, so as to activate selectively afferent fibres pertaining to the different groups of Lloyd's classification. Simultaneous records were taken (and averaged on-line by means of a multichannel analyzer) from the distal end of a cut dorsal rootlet (C7-C8), from the cerebral cortex (SI, SII or area 3a, according to the experiment) and from the somesthetic callosal region (SCR). 2. The low-threshold afferent fibres (Group II) of cutaneous origin were found to have a wide projection to the SCR, with the maximal density in its middle portion. Some of the fastest corticocallosal impulses are relayed monosynaptically at cortical level. Plots of the amplitude of cortical and callosal responses as a function of stimulus strength showed that both central responses have the same threshold and exhibit a parallel, sharply-rising amplitude increase, thus suggesting that the cortico-callosal re-transmission system for afferent impulses of cutaneous origin is very powerful in nature. Impulses elicited in afferent fibres of higher threshold (Group III) do not enhance the cortical and callosal positive waves provoked by Group II afferent volleys. 3. Afferent fibres of deep origin were also found to send a wide projection to the SCR, although less substantial than that of cutaneous fibres. Stimulation of the deep radial nerve elicited mass responses in the whole SCR, provided the strength of stimuli was high enough to engage the Group II fibres. Only in the central portion of the SCR were small potentials recorded in response to pure Group I volleys of DRN. Experiments performed with selective stimulation of pure muscular branches of forelimb deep nerves as well as of articular and mixed (muscular and articular) branches gave evidence making it possible to ascertain the origin of deep afferent fibres projecting to the SCR. Stimulation of the forelimb muscular branches with strength provoking full activation of Group I afferent and additional engagement of those of Group II, did not provoke mass responses in the whole extent of the SCR. In order to obtain callosal potentials upon stimulation of pure muscular nerves, it was necessary to increase the stimulus strength at or above the threshold for Group III fibres. On the contrary, the same callosal foci unresponsive to Group I and II muscular afferent volleys exhibited clear-cut responses to stimulation of the lowest-threshold Group I and/or Group II afferents of articular and mixed nerves.

Experiments performed in precollicular decerebrate cats indicate that neurons located in the caudal part of the locus coeruleus and locus subcoeruleus as well as in the surrounding reticular formation were greatly depressed during the cataplectic episodes induced by i.v. injection of 0.1 mg/kg of eserine sulphate. 2. These units actually showed a slow regular firing rate when the rigidity was present. Moreover their firing rate greatly decreased during the episodes of postural atonia produced by the anticholinesterase. In some instances a complete abolition of firing occurred during these episodes. The depression of unit discharge anticipated the onset of postural atonia and lasted throughout the episodes. 3. Some of the neurons described above responded with steady changes in their discharge rate to natural stimulation of macular labyrinthine receptors during postural rigidity. However, the response of these neurons to lateral tilts was suppressed during the episodes of postural atonia induced by the anticholinesterase, This and other arguments suggested that these units were tonically inhibited during the induced cataplectic episodes. 4. The time course of the rate deceleration shown by these neurons during transition from postural rigidity to muscular atonia represents a mirror image of the rate acceleration which affects most of the pontine reticular neurons located in the gigantocellular tegmental field (FTG) during the induced cataplectic episodes. These reciprocal rate relations suggest that a functional interaction exists between the two cell groups. In particular it is postulated that the pontine FTG neurons are self-excitatory and excitatory to the locus coeruleus neurons, while the last neurons may be self-inhibitory and inhibitory to FTG neurons. These findings can be related to previous observations showing that neurons located in the region of locus coeruleus undergo a rate deceleration during desynchronized sleep which mimics the time course of firing to the pontine reticular neurons. 5. In conclusion it appears that the decerebrate rigidity is present in so far as the cholinergic reticular neurons, which trigger the bulbospinal inhibitory system, are tonically inhibited by neurons located in the monoaminergic structures of the dorsolateral pontine tegmentum. On the other hand the suppression of the decerebrate rigidity ,which occurs during the cholinergically induced cataplectic episodes results from activation of the cholinergic reticular neurons, which escape tonic inhibition from monoaminergic structures.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1020977"} {"pmid": "1020978", "title": "Relations of single semicircular canals to the pontine reticular formation.", "content": "Relations of single semicircular canals to the pontine reticular formation.

The concept that type-C RNA viruses serve as determinants of chemically induced cancer would be supported if immunization against such viruses reduced the incidence of methylcholanthrene-induced sarcomas. A formalin vaccine was employed which was able to protect mice against the development of virus-induced Rauscher leukemia: 8/12 vaccinated mice survived versus 1/12 controls. When mice so immunized were challenged with near-threshold doses of chemical carcinogen, sarcoma incidence and death latency did not differ between vaccinated and control groups: within 10 months, a 320 mug dose of methylcholanthrene induced 100% sarcomas in both groups, while a 64 mug dose induced 62% and 65% tumors in vaccinated and control mice respectively. Thus, a relevant postulate of the oncogene hypothesis could not be supported by these studies. Formalin treatment neutralizes the oncogenic effect of mouse leukemia viruses yiwlding preparations that are immunogenic and can be successfully used as vaccines to protect against virus-induced leukemia (5). The finding of murine leukemia viruses in chemically induced tumors (1, 2) poses the question of whether these viruses are present in the tumors as passengers, or whether they are etiologically involved in the process of tumor induction. An approach to answering this question would be to challenge with chemical carcinogens mice which have been vaccinated with leukemia virus. If the virus were somehow involved in tumor induction, antiviral immunization might conceivably interfere with chemical carcinogenesis. Whitmire and Huebner (9) have reported that mice immunized with formalin-treated leukemia viruses, become resistant to sarcomagenesis by methylcholanthrene. Repetition of this experiment by Gericke and Chandra (6) gave non-significant differences between experimental and control groups.

The chief cell was less radioactive than the nerve cell in the superior cervical ganglion.

The percentage protein in the body was little affected by body weight loss but lipid decreased from 5 to 1%. In another experiment with 26 rats of 205 g mean body weight and aged about 115 days, absorption rates by the small intestine were measured in vivo after variable weight losses between 0 and 39%. D(+)-Glucose uptake was increased by about 70% in those animals which had lost only 5% of body weight and this increased uptake was retained in those rats which had lost up to 39% of body weight. The absorption of L-leucine was not affected by the decline in body weight compared to the controls but relative to body weight, the ability of the intestine to absorb increased. In the same animals, the wet and dry weights of the small intestine declined slightly faster than body weight and the length of the small intestine tended to decrease slightly with increasing loss of body weight.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1021087"} {"pmid": "1021088", "title": "Effect of electrical stimulation of the vagus nerves on bile secretion in Anaesthetized sheep.", "content": "Effect of electrical stimulation of the vagus nerves on bile secretion in Anaesthetized sheep.

Sartorius muscles from the green tree frog Hyla cerulea were set at variety of muscle lengths and fixed for electron microscopy using acrolein followed by osmium tetroxide. The sarcomere length, s, was determined in thick sections using laser-diffraction. The Z-disk lattice spacing, z, was measured in electron micrographs of thin sections from the same muscles. The Z-disk lattice was found to expand as sarcomere length decreased such that the quantity sz2 was constant at 1-05 X 10(6) nm3 for all sarcomere lengths in the range 1-9-2-9 mum. Thus, the sarcomere length dependency of the Z-disk lattice is similar to that of the myosin filament lattice. The density of thin filaments per unit cross section of fibril leaving the Z-disk is less than their density in the A band. Thus, fibrils have a smaller cross section in the I band, leaving more inter-fibrillar space there. This may explain why more mitochondria and lipid droplets are located in the I bands than in the A bands.

Glow-discharge polymers of tetrafluoroethylene, hexamethyldisiloxane, ethylene-N2, and allene-N2-H20 were deposited onto Mylar film and subjected to Lindholm whole blood coagulation tests. Lindholm tests were performed in a manner that permitted statistical analysis. This was done by repeating the preparation of samples as well as the coagulation tests a number of times. Results showed that Lindholm tests values were useful in obtaining information pertinent to compatibility of surfaces with fresh human blood and to reproducibility of sample preparation by glow-discharge polymerization.

Chronic treatment with adrenaline did not modify the initial glucose levels but it greatly diminished the basal insulin values (21.57+/-2.48 vs. 44.69+/-3.3muU/ml, p less than 0.01). In the control rats, despite the elevated glucose concentrations, a significant drop in plasma insulin levels was observed within the first 15 min of adrenaline infusion, followed by a period of recovery. In the adrenaline-treated group, in which plasma glucose levels were lower than in control animals, plasma insulin levels did not drop as in control rats, but a significant increase was found after 30 min of infusion. During the intravenous glucose tolerance test, the plasma glucose and insulin responses showed similar patterns; however, during the concomitant adrenaline infusion, the treated rats showed a better glucose tolerance than their controls.

The effect of changing ambient temperature on skin temperature was recorded in human subjects; also, its effect on blood flow was measured using venous occlusion and optical plethysmography. When cold stimulus was removed in stages using a heating cabinet, it was found that a biphasic flow response occurred in the fingers with each step change in temperature. There was a rapid transient rise followed by a decline to an equilibrium flow level. The transient rise occurred even when the temperature rose from 37 to 40 degrees C, although at this level the equilibrium remained unchanged. It is suggested that the transient rise was due to stimulation of Hensel's dynamic warmth receptors, whereas the rise in equilibrium temperature was due to removal of cold stimulus, which at low ambient temperatures maintains reflex vasoconstriction through activation of static cold receptors. Upper arm skin responded to removal of cold stimulus by a fall in temperature. Immersion of a different limb in cold water produced vasoconstriction in fingers but vasodilatation in the upper arm skin. It is suggested that this may be due to neurogenic vasodilatation, though the present work gives no indication as to pathways.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1021221"} {"pmid": "1021220", "title": "The necessity of drug level monitoring in anticonvulsant drug therapy.", "content": "The necessity of drug level monitoring in anticonvulsant drug therapy.

Severe damage rendered rats ectothermic, that is unable to maintain their body temperatures at normal levels unless they were incubated at an ambient temperature of 30 degrees C. Less severe damage produced rats that maintained subnormal but stable body temperatures at 23 degrees C, but that did not increase metabolic rate or shiver and whose body temperatures dropped drastically in the cold (5 degrees C). As the animals recovered, nonshivering thermogenesis returned. Eventually the rats became excessively hyperthermic in normal room temperatures, due to very high metabolic rates. They were still unable to shiver or increase metabolic rate further in the cold and were therefore still unable to prevent a large drop in body temperature. Muscle tonus and shivering recovered gradually, and oxygen consumption returned to near normal levels.

Depth profiles of RSA were taken from the hippocampal formation of urethanized and curarized rats during posterior hypthalamic stimulation. The results confirmed findngs of two RSA amplitude maxima with an approximate 180 degree phase difference, one location in stratum oriens of area CA-1, the other in stratum moleculare of the dentate gyrus, and suggest there are two generators of RSA.

The [3H]NA and its metabolites in the effluent were separated by adsorption on alumina and a cation-exchange resin (Dowex-50). The release induced by potassium was a linear function of the log of the increased potassium concentration. Following a 1-h efflux period after labelling with [3H]NA, the hearts from reserpine-treated rats retained 1/5 as much [3H]NA, and released, in response to a 56mM elevation in the potassium concentration, less than 1/6 as much tritium label as the hearts from untreated (control) animals. In contrast, the hearts form 6-OHDA-treated animals retained 1/15 of the amount of [3H]NA and released 1/50 of the 3H label as did the control hearts. The potassium-induced increase of 3H-labelled substances in the effluent from the control hearts showed a large (threefold) percentage increase in the [3H]NA fraction, whereas the effluents from the hearts of reserpine- and 6-OHDA-treated animals contained only small increases in the [3H]NA fraction. Based on the assumptions that reserpine prevented retention of NA in the storage granules whereas 6-OHDA prevented almost all neuronal storage, it was concluded that more than 80% of the NA released by potassium excess from perfused normal hearts originated from the storage vesicles of the nerves, the remainder being largely from the cytoplasm of the nerves, with only a small portion from extraneuronal sources.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1021224"} {"pmid": "1021223", "title": "Vasopressin contamination as a cause of some apparent renal actions of prolactin.", "content": "Vasopressin contamination as a cause of some apparent renal actions of prolactin.

No progression was seen in seven patients (18%) lasting 13+ months with only one patient in relapse. Thirteen patients (33%) have failed.

Positive estrogen receptors were suggestive of being a good predictor of response. Menopausal status and dominant site of metastasis did not affect the response to tamoxifen in this small series.

Fifty-five patients were fully evaluable. Complete remissions were obtained in 13 (24%) and partial objective remissions in 27 (49%). The overall remission rate was 73%. Toxic side effects ranged from mild to severe. The most significant were nausea and vomiting (most patients), weakness and pain (two thirds of the patients), and hematologic changes (half of the patients). It is concluded that the present combination of endocrine and cytotoxic therapy represents one of the most effective currently available treatments of advanced breast cancer. In an early clinical trial of tamoxifen in premenopausal patients with advanced breast cancer, two objective remissions, lasting 5 and 9+ months respectively, were obtained in ten patients treated. Tamoxifen is worthy of further assessment in premenopausal patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1021227"} {"pmid": "1021230", "title": "General principles of surgical treatment of lung cancer.", "content": "General principles of surgical treatment of lung cancer.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1021230"} {"pmid": "1021229", "title": "Occurrence of lung cancer according to stage and determination of its dissemination.", "content": "Occurrence of lung cancer according to stage and determination of its dissemination.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1021229"} {"pmid": "1021231", "title": "Prerequisties for effective radiotherapy for lung cancer.", "content": "Prerequisties for effective radiotherapy for lung cancer.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1021231"} {"pmid": "1021232", "title": "Experience with combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy for undifferentiated lung cancer.", "content": "Experience with combination chemotherapy and radiotherapy for undifferentiated lung cancer.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1021232"} {"pmid": "1021233", "title": "5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), methyl-CCNU, and vincristine in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer: phase II study utilizing weekly 5-FU.", "content": "5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), methyl-CCNU, and vincristine in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer: phase II study utilizing weekly 5-FU.

Ten of 25 patients (40%) achieved an objective tumor regression after treatment with FMV chemotherapy. The main toxicities of FMV were hematologic and gastrointestinal. 5-FU was administered in a weekly rather than a loading-dose schedule which allowed for sensitive adjustment of drug dosages according to hematologic toxicity; only 16% of the patients (four of 25) had a wbc count less than 2000 cells/mm3.

In order to standardize patch tests in Japan a comparative study of our former method of patch testing with that recommended by the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG) was carried out with the collaboration of dermatologists in the Mid-Japan Dermatological Society. The following differences were observed between the two methods of patch testing: 1. Four out of five ICDRG allergens which were common in Japanese standard allergen series--formaldehyde, potassium dichromate, cobalt chloride and nickel sulfate--showed higher reactivity than those of Japanese allergens. The other allergen, paraphenylenediamine (PPD), showed the same reactivity as Japanese PPD. Cobalt chloride of ICDRG origin showed a particularly higher reactivity than the Japanese one (a=0.05) 2. Higher reactivity was observed at the 48-h reading when aqueous reagents were patch-tested using Torii-Ban, Miniplaster and Leukotest, which are all popular in Japan. This higher reactivity could be attributed to the lint gauze of plasters which are pre-treated with fluorescent whitener. 3.

The assay is the direct measurement of serotonin oxidation by MAO employing a double microcolumn technique on Sephadex G-10 and Amberlite CG-50 for separating 5-HIAA formed, which is measured fluorimetrically. Rebound of MAO activity levels after withdrawal of alcohol was observed to be more pronounced in the patients with delirium tremens than those who exhibited no outstanding abstinent symptomatology. MAO activity levels measured in the 1st week of alcohol withdrawal were 3.49 +/- 1.15 (Mean +/- S.D) nmol/mg protein/hour in the alcoholic patients with delirium tremens, a value significantly lower than that in the subjects without (p less than 0.01) and that in the male normal subjects (p less than 0.001). Four weeks after withdrawal of alcohol, the reduced MAO activity levels in the alcoholic population were restored to normal levels. These data demonstrate that physical dependency for alcohol occurred evidently in the alcoholic patients examined.

Comparisons were made as to the duration of the green lamp being on, which indicated sway stayed around the initial central gravity. The results showed that auditory and visual feedback groups had a significant increase in the duration as compared to other three groups. With regard to the changes in the areas of postural sway, the largest increase was seen in the auditory and visual group.

The principal clinical findings were weakness and tenderness of the proximal limbs and girdle muscle. He was unable to lift his head or any extremities from the bed. Deep tendon reflexes were diminished, but not absent. There was no sensory disturbance except for muscle tenderness. These clinical manifestations disappeared gradually by abstinence from drinking, and potassium administration therapy, and the patient recovered completely on the 26th day after onset. On the day after admission (8th day), serum potassium value was 2.2 mEq/L, and serum CPK activity was 4270 IU. The ECG pattern was consistent with a diagnosis of low potassium content in serum, and the EMG pattern was consistent with a diagnosis of myopathy. These electrophysiological findings had a tendency to recover from this pattern to normal range correspondingly with clinical improvement. The repeated muscle biopsies showed that vacuolation, hyaline degeneration and significant phagocyte infiltration were observed in the muscle on the 9th day after the onset of muscle weakness, and that these pathological findings disappeared almost completely three weeks later.

From these results, it is suggested that CPA and HLP suppressed the amygdalo-ventromedial hypothalamic nuclear and cerebellar functions and DZP suppressed the afferent pathway of the direct attack. PTB showed intermediate effects between the above two groups.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1021547"} {"pmid": "1021549", "title": "Somatic hybridization in higher plants.", "content": "Somatic hybridization in higher plants. Somatic hybridization in higher plants has come into focus since methods have been established for protoplast fusion and uptake of foreign DNA and organelles by protoplasts. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was an effective agent for inducing fusion. Treatment of protoplasts with PEG resulted in 5 to 30% heterospecific fusion products. Protoplasts of different species, genera and even families were compatible when fused. A number of protoplast combinations (soybean + corn, soybean + pea, soybean + tobacco, carrot + barley, etc.) provided fusion products which underwent cell division and callus formation. Fusion products initially were heterokaryocytes. In dividing heterokaryocytes, random distribution of mitotic nuclei was observed to be accompanied by multiple wall formation and to result in chimeral callus. Juxtaposition of mitotic nuclei suggested nuclear fusion and hybrid formation. Fusion of heterospecific interphase nuclei was demonstrated in soybean + pea and carrot + barley heterokaryons. Provided parental protoplasts carry suitable markers, the fusion products can be recognized. For the isolation and cloning of hybrid cells, fusion experiments must be supplemented with a selective system. Complementation of two non-allelic genes that prevent or inhibit growth under special culture conditions appears as the principle on which to base the selection of somatic hybrids. As protoplasts of some species have been induced to regenerate entire plants, the development of hybrid plants from protoplast fusion products is feasible and has already been demonstrated for tobacco.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1021549"} {"pmid": "1021548", "title": "Sexual and parasexual approaches to the genetic analysis of the laboratory mouse, Mus musculus.", "content": "Sexual and parasexual approaches to the genetic analysis of the laboratory mouse, Mus musculus.

Eight wild populations of the High Sierra golden trout, Salmo aguabonita, and one domestic stock of rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, were examined for biochemical-genetic variation in eight protein systems. Variation within the eight systems was determined by at least 10 loci in both golden and rainbow trout and all the alleles identified in rainbow trout were observed as electro-phoretically identical phenotypes in golden trout. Variation was observed at an average of 51 percent of the loci in the golden trout samples and for five of the 10 loci in the rainbow trout. Average heterozygosity ranged from 12.6 to 13.9 percent for seven of the golden trout populations with one showing a low value of 5.4 percent. A comparable estimate of 12.1 percent was found for the rainbow stock. On the basis of genetic variation and allele frequencies at three loci, the eight golden trout populations were divided into two distinct groups. Three populations sampled from the Little Kern River basin tended to be genetically distinct from two additional Little Kern River basin populations and from three geographically distinct populations sampled from the eastern Kern River area. The former three populations were hypothesized to be of a recent rainbow-golden hybrid origin. Trout in the other two Little Kern River basin populations, sampled in head-waters of a stream tributary to the Little Kern River, were considered to be the threatened Little Kern golden trout, S. a. whitei Evermann, due to their high degree of genetic similarity to the geographically distinct subspecies S. a. aguabonita sampled from the eastern Kern River area.

The optic nerve and mesencephalic optic centre (tectum opticum, TO) of the tortoise, Testudo horsfieldi, Gray, in the norm and after the enucleation have been studies using Golgi's method, electron microscopy and the electrophysiological technique. The optic nerve comprises about 400,000 fibres represented by two classes of axons: myelinated (10%) and unmyelinated (90%). The diameters of the former vary within 0.3-3 mum, of the latter within 0.3-1.1 mum. The neurogramms of the optic nerve contain two components corresponding to the two rates of conduction through different groups of fibres (1.3 musec and 0.5 musec). The stratified synaptic organization of the TO has been investigated. The optic terminals are shown to join in complex synaptic formations at certain levels of the upper layers of the TO (Strata I, II and III). The process of degeneration in the optic system of Testudo is drastically stretched in time. It was demonstrated by the electrophysiological control that the TO potentials induced in response to the nerve stimulation were not registered any longer only 6-6.5 months after the enucleation. Certain groups of retinal fibres of the optic nerve and their terminals in the TO are shown to degenerate differently and asynchronously. Earlier unknown types of destructive changes of the terminals (vesicular, neurofilamentous, glycogen and others) are described. It is suggested that the different types of degeneration of the optic fibres and their terminals are the result of possible biochemical heterogeneity of the retinal ganglious cells. The comparison of the terms and types of degeneration of different groups of nervous fibres in the optic nerve and their terminals in the TO has revealed some correlations suggesting that the myelinated optic fibres produce nervous terminals degenerating by the \"dark\" type, whereas the unmyelinated optic axons may be subdivided into several groups, each producing nervous terminals subjected to a definite type of destruction (\"clear\", \"vesicular\", \"neurofilamentous\" etc.). The localization of certain groups of therminals at certain levels of the cortical plate of the TO confirms the electrophysiological data on the stratified organization of the retino-tectal projections in the TO of lower vertebrates. It has been shown by the comparison of the results obtained with those reported for Emys orbicularis, L. that the two species have marked differences in the morpho-functional characteristics of the retino-tectal system, neuronic composition of the TO, the character of destructive changes of the terminals after the enucleation and the component composition of polysynaptic complexes and glomerules.

In guinea pig taenia coli PTX at above 3 X 10(-10) g/ml caused a contraction which slowly subsided under isotonic recording. Under isometric recording PTX at above 1 X 10(-10) g/ml caused a contraction which depended on the spontaneous activity. The PTX-induced contraction was not affected by atropine, tripelenmamine or tetrodotoxin but was inhibited by 5 mM Mg, norephinrphrine, isoprenaline or papaverine. PTX at above 1 X 10(-9) g/ml induced an increase in spike frequency and a slight depolarization accompanied with a contraction when measured using a sucrose gap method. In some cases the spike generation was almost abolished after a long exposure to higher dose of PTX and the developed tension gradually decreased. Under isometric recording PTX caused a sustained contraction in rabbit aorta, dog mesenteric and coronary arteries at above 1 X 10(-10) and 1 X 10(-11) g/ml, respectively, in a dose-dependent manner. The coronary artery was most sensitive among the preparation used. PTX-induced contraction in aorta was irreversible, was not influenced by phentolamine but diminished with 5 mM Mg and disappeared in a D-600 or Ca-free medium.

Despite diverse historical patterns of settlement, a strong common component of origin is indicated. This is tentatively identified as late 18th and early 19th century British. One mutant, polydactyly, which is of New England origin appears to have been distributed largely by loyalist refugees from New England at the time of the American Rebellion. No elements of a specific Acadian (French) character have yet been identified. Siamese cats have been \"introduced\" to the region in recent years and are now so abundant that they will undoubtedly cause a significant change in some mutant allele frequencies over the next few decades.

On its withdrawal, the avoidance response was gradually restored, returning to the initial level in 3-4 days. When 8 mg/kg was given at 1-2 weeks after the withdrawal, the same suppression was observed as after the single administration of the same dose. The progressive enhancement of suppression in the early half of the medication period evidently indicated the cumulative effect.

Tissue distribution and levels of allopurinol oxidizing enzyme and xanthine oxidase with hypoxanthine as a substrate were compared with supernatant fractions from various tissues of mice and from liver of mice, rats, guinea pigs and rabbits. The allopurinol oxidizing enzyme activities in liver were quite different among the species and the sex difference of the enzyme activity only in mouse liver. In mice, the highest activity of allopurinol oxidizing enzyme was found in the liver with a trace value in lung, but the enzyme activity was not detected in brain, small intestine and kidney, while the highest activity of xanthine oxidase was detected in small intestine, lung, liver and kidney in that sequence. The allopurinol oxidizing enzyme activity in mouse liver supernatant fraction did not change after storage at -20 degrees C or dialysis against 0.1 M Tris-HCl containing 1.15% KCl, but the activity markedly decreased after dialysis against 0.1 M Tris-HCl. On the contrary, the xanthine oxidase was activated 2 to 3 times the usual activity after storage at -20 degrees C or dialysis of the enzyme preparation. These results indicated that allopurinol was hydroxylated to oxipurinol mainly by the enzyme which is not identical to xanthine oxidase in vivo.

Under both schedules, Wistar strain rats, though showing poorer results than the other two in the beginning, rapidly progressed with the repetitive training, and finally displayed excellent and stable performances. Srague-Dawley strain rats were poorer in performances, with delayed acquisition and prolonged warm-up effect in the within-session performance. The results of Holtzman strain rats ranked between the two. After the establishment of stable behavioral baselines under both schedules, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/kg of diazepam were given subcutaneously, and it was found that in Wistar and Holtzman strain rats, the avoidance responses were inhibited together with increase of delivered shocks in parallel to the doses.

Tension of the strips suspended in the bath medium (Locke solution, 30 degrees C) was isotonically recorded. The K(ED50)- and Ba(ED50)-induced contractions were not affected by atropine at 3.0 X 10(-4) mM, which reversibly abolished the ACh(ED100)-contraction. After washout of 6.0 X 10(-4) mM atropine, the phasic, but not the tonic, component of ACh(ED50)-, K(ED50)- and Ba(ED50)- contractions was to some extent inhibited irreversibly. On the contrary, such irreversible inhibition of the phasic component was not produced by atropine methylbromide even in the high concentration of 3.0 X 10(-3) mM. The irreversible inhibitions by atropine of 6.0 X 10(-4) mM on the phasic component of ACh- and K-contractions were protected by pretreatment with a high concentration of ACh or K. Further, these irreversible inhibitions by atropine were potentiated by the absence of Ca and were abolished by the increase of Ca content in bath media. These results suggest that the irreversible inhibition of the contractile responses to drugs by atropine in high concentration may be due to the interference with the mobilization of Ca in the deep layer of the membrane, rather than by a blockade of muscarinic receptor sites.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1021609"} {"pmid": "1021610", "title": "Mitigation of caffeine-induced fetopathy in mice by pretreatment with beta-adrenergic blocking agents.", "content": "Mitigation of caffeine-induced fetopathy in mice by pretreatment with beta-adrenergic blocking agents.

The effect of fornix transection on plasma corticosterone and on midbrain (MID), septum/preoptic (S/POA) or hippocampal (HIP) tryptophan hydroxylase activity (THA) was studied in adult male rats. A mild stress resulted in higher levels of plasma corticosterone in operated as compared to sham-operated rats 6 and 40 h post-transection; however, at 30 days post-operation no difference was found. The response of THA to fornix transection was region-specific. No significant change in the S/POA region was found at any time. THA in the HIP, a terminal area of 5-HT fibers, showed a progressive fall over time to values 80% below normal levels. This result suggests that most of the 5-HT fibers to the HIP had been severed. A 28 h half-life for HIP THA was calculated. THA in the MID, an area known to contain the majority of 5-HT cell bodies with ascending fibers, was significantly reduced compared to sham controls at 6 h, 40 h, and 8 days post-transection. However, at 30 days post-operation no difference was found. The depression in MID THA by its rapid onset, the distance from the fornix transection site, and its return to normal after 30 days, is thought to be due to a transneuronal effect on the serotonin-containing neurons in MID raphe. The fall in MID THA at a time when plasma corticosterone levels are increased in fornix-transected rats may be compared with the situation in normal, stressed and adrenalectomized rats where MID THA andplasma corticosterone levels change in the same direction.

Uptake in the PIT was not affected by TP pretreatment or by the presence of the testes, suggesting that the reduction in nuclear 3H-E2 binding observed in other tissues was caused by competition by estradiol formed in situ from TP or endogenous androgens for nuclear binding sites. Thus, the reduction in 3H-E2 uptake caused by the presence of TP or the testes could be used to estimate the degree of aromatization that occurred in these brain areas. In males, specific nuclear binding of 3H-E2 was reduced by the presence of the testes by 60-70% in the POA-AH and AMYG, by 30-40% in the ME-BH and SEP and by 0-20% in the DH. After s.c. administration of 1 mg/kg TP in GDX males, the amount of estrogen formed after 1,5 h in these same tissues approximated that present in the steady state in intact males.

Following a previous study with experimental short-term, high-grade uremia the changes of the small and large intestinal mucosa of rats with surgically induced chronic renal insufficiency were analysed. A clear tendency to inhibition of the rate of the physiological cell regeneration by prolongation of the mitotic cycle in correlation to the degree of renal insufficiency could be demonstrated. There was a extension of the generation time up to 40% in ileum and up to 50% in the large intestine in the animal group with the relatively highest degree of renal insufficiency. This extension was mainly due to a prolongation of the postmitotic Gi-phase. At the same time the total number of crypt epithelia and of the regenerative cells in the enlarged crypts increased. The enlargement of the regenerative crypt population is interpreted as an adaptive compensation of the inhibition of the cell production by prolongation of the mitotic cycle. A damage of the differentiated surface epithelium could not be detected.

The role of a cell's chromosome complement in its tumorigenic and anchorage-independent growth properties in vitro was investigated by injecting a Chinese hamster cell line and its subclones into immunodeficient nude mice and by plating the cells in a semisolid medium containing methylcellulose. The parental WOR-6 cell clone originally consisted of 89% 1s cells and 11% cells with a nearly double (2s) complement. Tumors that developed from WOR-6 were found to consis entirely or primarily of cells with near 2s chromosome complements. Subclones of WOR-6 that contained only 1s cells rarely produced tumors in nude mice, even at high inoculum doses, whereas clones containing a high fraction of 2s cells were consistently tumorigenition, serial passage of WOR-6 cells in semisolid medium resulted in selective enrichment for near 2s cells and, concomitantly, greatly enhanced tumorigenicity. Analyses of G-banded chromosomes revealed that the 1s cells of the WOR-6 parental clone, which has a modal chromosome number of 21 and a range of 18 to 23, is completely or partially monosomic for some chromosomes and trisomic for others. The 2s cells, selected both in vivo through growth as tumors in nude mice and in vitro in semisolid medium, appeared to have resulted from preferential duplication of certain chromosomes of the 1s cells. Our results therefore suggest that cells which develop multiple copies of selected genes, while remaining functionally hemizygous for other loci, acquire an enhanced anchorage-independent growth potential in vitro and increased tumorigenicity. This conclusion is consistent with the observation that cellular tumorigenicity is correlated with anchorage independence (Rreedman and Shin, 1974) and leads support to OHNO'S (1974) suggesting that aneuploidy is a possible means employed by cells to express recessive phenotypes and increase their tumorigenicity.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022225"} {"pmid": "1022227", "title": "An anomalous muscle (accessory subscapularis-teres-latissimus muscle) in the axilla penetrating the brachial plexus in man.", "content": "An anomalous muscle (accessory subscapularis-teres-latissimus muscle) in the axilla penetrating the brachial plexus in man. An anomalous muscle passing through the brachial plexus was found in 10 cases out of 380 sides of 190 human cadavers in the dissection course. The muscle was designated as 'accessory subscapularis-teres-latissimus muscle'. This muscle arose near the lateral margin of the scapula, either from the surface of the subscapularis muscle or from the border of the quadrangular terminal tendon of the latissimus dorsi or from both of those sources when the muscle was divided into two heads. It ran obliquely upward to fuse with the insertion of the subscapularis. The largest anomaly was 2.5 cm in width and 7 cm in length. This muscle could be classified into three types on the basis of its nerve supply and its relation to the brachial plexus. The type I muscle crossed over the axillary and lower subscapular nerves, behind the radial nerve and was innervated by the lower subscapular nerves. The type II musclepenetrated the brachial plexus separating the radial nerve into two roots; the upper from the posterior division of the upper trunk and the lower from the posterior divisions of the middle and lower trunks. The type II muscle was supplied by a branch of the radial nerve, which originated always at the same level as the origin of the thoracodorsal nerve. The type III muscle passed through the further more ventrocaudal level of the plexus; in one case it divided the radial nerve into an upper root from the posterior divisions of the upper and middle trunks and a lower root from the lower trunk, and, in another case, into an upper main root from all the three trunks and a lower slender root from the lower trunk. The type III muscle was supplied by branches from the radial and in addition from the thoracodorsal nerve in one case.

The H6 and M16 populations were selected for increased 6-week body weight and 3- to 6-week postweaning gain, respectively, while the C2 and ICR populations were the respective controls. Crossfostering was performed using H6, M16 and their reciprocal F1 crosses as nurse dams in the selected crossfostering group and C2 ICR and their reciprocals in the control group. Measurements recorded for nurse dams included mean body weight of 8 young within a nursed litter at birth (MWB) and 12 days of age (MW12). The latter was used as a measure of postnatal maternal performance. Other traits recorded for nurse dams were number born (NB), body weight at parturition (DWP) and 12 days postpartum (DW12), and weight gain (DWG), feed intake (FED) and efficiency (EFF = DWG/FED) for the first 12 days of lactation. The correlated response in MW12 was negative (P less than .01) for M16 and essentially zero for H6. Both lines exhibited positive (P less than .01) correlated responses in DWP and DW12 and no change in EFF. Only the H6 line increases significantly in DWG and FED as a result of selection. NB increased in M16 and H6, but was significant for the latter population only. Population differences in selection response [(M16-ICR)-(H6-C2)] were significant for FED only, primarily due to average direct genetic effects. Direct comparisons of M16 and H6 indicated that M16 was larger in DWP and DW12 but smaller in DWG and EFF. Average direct genetic effects favored M16 for NB, DWP, and DW12, whereas average maternal genetic effects favored H6 for NB, DWP, DW12 and FED. Percent direct heterosis, in F1 crosses of selected populations was significant for MW12 (13.7%) ,FED (10.8%) and NB (11.4%).

In control cells, the mean number of breaks per cell was 0.011. Chromosome breakages were significantly higher in treated cells. Since guthion prevents cells from entering into mitosis during treatment, the number of mitiotic cells decreases rapidly following treatment with higher concentrations. Similar dosages in treated HEp-2 cells also induced a high incidence of chromosome aberrations, the most common being chromatid breaks and exchanges.

Significant chromosomal damage appeared 24 h after fumigation in metaphase I and anaphase I - telophase I but no significant damage was found in anaphase II - telophase II. This observation suggests that chromosomes are more susceptible to ozone during early stages of meiosis than at later stages.

The total mortality during the hospitalization period amounted to 19.2%. The prognostic significance of certain clinically meaningful phenomena was appraised on the basis of their association to the mortality. It was demonstrated that the factors decisive for the prognosis of a patient with AMI are age, previous myocardial infarction, extent and localization of the ischaemic lesion apparent from the ECG tracing, and, in addition, presence of the atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction defects, especially if combined with anterior myocardial infarction.

It was found that a 30 days' application of PGEI induced a regression of the regenerated adrenal cortex, accompanied by a significant decrease in arterial blood pressure to normotensive values. Plasma renin activity did not correlate with the level of the blood pressure nor with kidney renin activity and was not influenced by PGEI. However renal renin activity, which was found to be increased, corresponded to the elevated blood pressure, and decreased almost to normal values with normalization of the blood pressure. A correlation between the brain and kidney renin systems was established in that increased renal renin activity was accompanied by low brain stem and medulla renin activity. The balance was restored by PGEI, which not only lowered blood pressure and decreased renal rein acitivity, but induced an increase of brain stem and medulla renin activity. It is concluded that there exists a notable connection between adrenal cortex regeneration, renal antihypertensive prostaglandins and the kidney and brain renin-angiotensin systems, which pays a correlated role in the mechanism of adrenal regeneration hypertension.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022407"} {"pmid": "1022397", "title": "An overview of health care equipment.", "content": "An overview of health care equipment.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022397"} {"pmid": "1022408", "title": "Hospital prognosis of myocardial infarction with respect to risk factors.", "content": "Hospital prognosis of myocardial infarction with respect to risk factors.

With the aid of a logico-probabilistic model, the author made an attempt to quantify the individual risks of the hospital prognosis of MI and to obtain the so-called cumulative risk of MI. The prognostic relevances of the characters investigated were tested by Bayes' theorem.

Hypoventilation from sedation and from the radiographic positioning may lead to increased intracranial pressure. By performing pediatric pneumoencephalography under general anesthesia, with nitrous oxide as both an anesthetic agent and as the contrast material, we are able to control patient motion, preserve the child's airway, and prevent hypoventilation. The nitrous oxide, rapidly diffusible, is a good contrast agent, as large volumes can be used and the gas leaves the ventricular system quickly after the discontinuation of the anesthetic.

In the course of prenatal zinc deficiency experiments, congenital hydrocephalus was frequently encountered and histologic sections were made of many representative specimens.

Although these anomalies suggest that occlusion of the aqueduct is the cause of the enlargement of the ventricular system it was noted that there was also ventricular dilatation caudal to the stenotic point of the aqueduct.

Synthetic substance P was used as a standard and the dextran-coated charcoal method was employed to separate the free peptide from that bound to antibodies.

However, some cases were known to be normally suppressed by the standard low dose of dexamethasone (2 mg daily). The case we encountered recently was also normally suppressed by either the rapid (Nugent) or the standard (Liddle) method. This fact prompted us to study the usefulness of a single dose of 0.5 mg of dexamethasone to suppress the plasma cortisol in the normal. It was concluded that the single oral dose of 0.5 mg of dexamethasone given at 11 p.m. on the previous night suppressed the plasma cortisol efficiently the following morning in the normal, thus making the differentiation of particular cases of Cushing's disease from the normal possible.

Serum CEA was increased in all but one patient, and CT did in all of them. Both levels were significantly related to the weight of excised tumor, but not to the presence of metastasis. Furthermore, a significant correlation was noted between the basal levels of CT and CEA. Both levels fell to normal after a radical operation had been performed. Tissue concentrations of CEA and CT in the MCT were more than 100 times those in hyperthyroidism, and the ratios of tissue over serum levels averaged 770 in CEA and 1000 in CT. In the calcium infusion test, CEA levels were not significantly changed in contrast with a distinct increase in CT levels.

The plasma of noninjected fetuses also contained very small amounts of these corticoids. The fetal adrenal glands contained far smaller amounts of radioactive steroids than the fetal plasma did.

The new highly sensitive method of fluorescamine reaction for the topochemical detection of primary amino groups was studied as a substitude of ninhydrin-Schiff's reaction for the localisation of total proteins in plant tissues. The influence of various coagulant and non-coagulant fixatives on the induction of fluorescamine fluorescence was examined: ethanol, formaldehyde gas and solution, glutaraldehyde, acrolein, osmium tetroxide, Bouin, Rossman, Clarke and Zenker's fluids and FMA were employed. It was found that the use of the fluorogenic method is conditioned by the fixative ability to keep the amino groups disposable and by its capability to reduce the natural autofluorescence of plant material.

The necessity of the presence of iodide in Cu-ThCh reaction was investigated by following the precipitate formation \"in vitro\" and by evaluating the ultrastructural localization of the precipitate in sympathetic ganglion cells of the frog and in the end-plate regions of the rat diaphragm. It was found that thiocyanate or cyanide is the only anion that can be substituted for iodide as the capturing agent in precipitation. The optimal concentration in the preincubation and incubation media of any one of the three anions is from 2 to 5 mM. At a concentration below 1 mM precipitation \"in vitro\" is considerably delayed as a result of which in electron microscopy diffusion artefacts appear in tissue sections. The unconverted primary precipitate obtained in the presence of iodide had been used for ultrastructural localization of ChE activity and now this use has been extended to precipitates obtained in the presence of CN- or CNS-. Better-quality localization in the presence of either one of the latter anions suggests that they, and particularly CN-, should be substituted for I- in the one-step Cu-ThCh method for the cytochemistry of cholinesterases.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022721"} {"pmid": "1022714", "title": "Influence of age and sex on blood pressure level in a rural population of age 20 years and above in West Bengal.", "content": "Influence of age and sex on blood pressure level in a rural population of age 20 years and above in West Bengal.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022714"} {"pmid": "1022710", "title": "\"Hepatitis \"B\" antigen in voluntary blood donors in Miraj area\".", "content": "\"Hepatitis \"B\" antigen in voluntary blood donors in Miraj area\".", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022710"} {"pmid": "1022722", "title": "Paraganglia in the urogential tract of man.", "content": "Paraganglia in the urogential tract of man. According to the earlier concept, the paraganglia of man are believed to degenerate during the first postnatal years after their dominance during the fetal period. Clinical case reports on persisting paraganglia led us to extensive exploration of surgical material obtained from urological and gynecological surgery. The formaldehyde induced fluorescence (FIF) was used for tracing the catecholamine containing tissues. The fluorescence intensities were recorded with a Leitz MPV 2 microspectrophotometer. Solitary, small paraganglia were found in all patients studied. They were especially frequent in the walls of the urinary bladder and in the connective tissue surrounding the urogenital organs. The intensity of the fluorescence was comparable to pharmacological standard of 10(-2) M noradrenaline and at the same level as the FIF of human fetal paraganglia. All cells of the paraganglionic clusters exhibited FIF and no signs of degeneration could be observed. It is suggested that the paraganglia of man do not degenerate postnatally but persist as a remarcable catecholamine reservoir, which might be of physiological importance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022722"} {"pmid": "1022723", "title": "Histochemical properties of spermatozoa and somatic cells.

Depolymerization and extraction of DNA during Feulgen acid. The Feulgen acid hydrolysis patterns of chromatin of different biochemical composition and compactness were analyzed. It was found that the purine extraction rate during acid hydrolysis was affected by the addition of NaCl or 2-mercaptoethanol to the hydrolysis bath. The maximum DNA depolymerization rate was directly correlated to the depurination rate but the extraction rate of hydrolysed DNA was in addition dependent on the stability of the surrounding protein matrix. The results indicate that the diffusion of DNA fragments is partially obstructed in extremely stabilized chromatins (e.g. bull spermatozoa). It is assumed that the extraction pattern of DNA is mainly dependent on the size of the fragments which leave the chromatin by diffusion. It appears that basic proteins do not influence the depolymerization of DNA but there are indications that during certain experimental conditions the purine liberation is dependent upon the chromatin structure.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022723"} {"pmid": "1022725", "title": "Matrix organization: blueprint of nursing care organization for the 80s.", "content": "Matrix organization: blueprint of nursing care organization for the 80s.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022725"} {"pmid": "1022724", "title": "On the method of Glenner for the histochemical demonstration of the monoamine oxidase (MAO).", "content": "On the method of Glenner for the histochemical demonstration of the monoamine oxidase (MAO).

(4) The incubation under the anaerobic conditions caused a considerable decrease of the stain intensity of the sections. We consider these data to indicate that both the aldehydes and acids formed under oxidation may take part in direct reduction of NBT to diformazan.

In this paper we trace the implications of some common contradictions in government-inspired efforts to increase citizen participation in health care delivery. We cover general problems of generating citizen participation, specific difficulties in community organization resulting when issues of health are the organizing focus, and the benefits that were thought to result from efforts to increase citizen participation in social programs in the 1960's. When programs focused on increased citizen participation were initiated program administrators attempted to maximize citizen involvement quickly by: projecting an image of maximal social impact; minimizing or ignoring questions of long-term fiscal uncertainty; projecting an image of maximal control by citizens; and projecting images of institutional solidarity and of experimentation and innovation. They tended to recruit to the staff social activists taken to be representative of the community (although they might not be), promising opportunities for upward mobility. They also tended to adopt conciliatory administrative styles in keeping with their experimental non-elitist orientations. These tendencies characteristic of the initiation phase of projects conflicted with the demands placed upon programs in later phases of program implementation. These demands resulted from later perceived needs to: evaluate programs; limit spending; counter internal organizational opposition; and respond to sponsors' shifting interests. Paraprofessionals recruited to the staff tended to lose their \"community\" orientation, and administrative style tended to focus considerably more on program accountability. These shifting program demands substantially account for what otherwise appears to be the failure of efforts to increase citizens' participation in health delivery programs, and, by extension, in other areas where the impetus for increased citizen participation comes from government initiatives.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022799"} {"pmid": "1022798", "title": "National health policy for the future.", "content": "National health policy for the future.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022798"} {"pmid": "1022800", "title": "Federal health policy.", "content": "Federal health policy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022800"} {"pmid": "1022801", "title": "The challenge of comparative health policy for political science.", "content": "The challenge of comparative health policy for political science.

This paper examines major features of the National Health Planning and Resources Development Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-641), a piece of legislation that would radically restructure the health planning system of the United States. The Act combines several, previously uncoordinated, health planning and health resources development agencies into one coordinated program. The program is to consist of statutorily restricted federal agency which will generally oversee the operation of the program, a state program directed by a consumer-dominated board and a series of locally based, generally private, nonprofit, consumer-dominated corporations (\"Health Systems Agencies\") which will carry the bulk of the planning functions. The resource development portion of the act grants funds for a variety of programs. These include both grants and loans (at very favorable interest rates) for medical facilities. In addition there are funds available for innovative projects which hold the prospect of improving health services and environmental conditions within the community. The act also provides the states and local organizations with substantial power over a large portion of the allocations made under the Public Health Act and specifies the process by which health planning must be carried out. Each local planning agency must design a long range health plan for its community and prepare a one-year plan for carrying out portions of the health system plan. These two documents then are used to create State Health plans, plans for construction, modernization or conversion of health facilities and criteria for judging the appropriateness of health services offered in the local areas and in each state. The act seems to create a mechanism whereby the health industry could be quickly converted into a heavily regulated industry. This regulatory process could be implemented in conjunction with national health insurance or by itself.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022804"} {"pmid": "1022805", "title": "Abortion and the law: the impact on hospital policy of the Roe and Doe decisions.", "content": "Abortion and the law: the impact on hospital policy of the Roe and Doe decisions. The purpose of the article is to analyze the effect of the U.S. Supreme Court's abortion decisions upon the policies of hospitals in Harris County (Houston), Texas. The study attempts to determine the variables associated with the hospitals' policies prior to and following the Roe and Doe decisions and which variables best explain the change (or lack of change) from the first period to the other. The principal data source is a series of in-depth personal interviews with 68 key decision-makers in 36 general hospitals in Harris county. Critical data about the hospitals' economic status were obtained from the American Hospital Association's Hospitals: Guide Issue, 1972. The major findings of the study are as follows: (1) the Roe and Doe decisions did affect hospital policy in that within a year after the High Court's rulings, hospitals evidence a dramatic shift toward more permissive abortion policies; (2) economic variables, while not having much explanatory power for pre-Roe and Doe abortion policies, were important predictors of hospital policy and of the propensity for hospitals to liberalize their abortion standards after the Supreme Court decisions; and (3) the values, attitudes, and attributes of the individual decision-makers had much to do with explaining their respective hospitals' abortion policies before and after the Supreme Court decisions and accounted for changes in abortion policy from the first to the second period. An analysis of the impact of the Supreme Court abortion-related decisions, Roe and Doe, upon the policies of hospitals in Harris County, Texas, was made. The major data source was interviews conducted with 68 decision-makers in 36 general hospitals in the area. The effects of both economic and decision-making variables on predecision, postdecision policies and the change between the 2 was studied. It was evident that the decision did have an impact; within a year of the decisions, there had been a statistically significant shift toward more permissive abortion policies in the hospitals studied. The content of both Court decisions is summarized. None of the economic variables was associated with predecision policies. High staff-bed ratios and low occupancy rates were correlated with a hospital's propensity to liberalize abortion policy following the decisions. Values, attitudes, and attributes of individual decision-makers correlated with hospital abortion policies both pre- and postdecision. Religious identification, level of knowledge of the Court decisions, and patient care orientation correlated most strongly with predecision policy. These 3 variables plus opinions of the Court decisions correlated with postdecision policy. Opinion about the decisions and a positive attitude toward the Court related to the greatest changes in policies. The decision-making variables seem to have greater weight than the economic factors in the change of policy. The 2 sets of variables are not interrelated and must be studied separately. The study illustrates the influence of the Supreme Court in precipitating social change by removing legal barriers.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022805"} {"pmid": "1022806", "title": "Exploring new ethics for public health: developing a fair alcohol policy.", "content": "Exploring new ethics for public health: developing a fair alcohol policy. Alcoholism policy since the repeal of Prohibition has been largely based on the assumption that alcohol problems are the result of the failure of a small minority to \"control\" their drinking. Thus, in sharp contrast to the approach to other drug policies, the problem of alcohol abuse has been viewed as one of \"bad users\" rather than \"bad substances.\" This regard of alcoholism has helped exonerate the majority of drinkers and the alcohol industry from responsibility. However, mounting epidemiological evidence demonstrates that a primary factor in rates of diseases such as cirrhosis is the per capita use of alcohol and suggests that alcohol problems can be controlled or reduced only if all involved in the manufacture, sale or consumption of alcohol accept the burdens of restrictions over its availability and use. This acceptance will not be forthcoming, however, unless the prevailing market ethic of individual responsibility and minimal collective obligations to protect and preserve life is replaced with a new public health ethic rooted in social justice. This new ethic would assign the highest priority to life and would stress the obligations of all citizens to share the burdens of reasonable restrictions over all health hazards. In this paper a new alcohol policy is outlined based on just and reasonable limits on the availability, marketing and consumption of this substance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022806"} {"pmid": "1022809", "title": "[Comparative volumetric analysis of the main subdivisions of the brain in saurian reptiles].", "content": "[Comparative volumetric analysis of the main subdivisions of the brain in saurian reptiles]. The volumetric measure of the main subdivisions of the brain has been carried out on 32 species of Lizards and 3 species of Snakes. The analysis of the allometrical relations between the volume (the weight) of these subdivisions and the body weight shows firstly that the evolutionary or/and adaptative processes are only located at the mesencephalic and metencephalic levels. A more elaborate study leads meanwhile to the conclusion that anothers brain structures - pallium, basal areas, dorsal thalamus - are also implicated, according to the possibility to group the various species into taxomic units (such as family) or in another way; thus it has been possible to corroborate with quantitative datas the NORTHCUTT'S definition (1972) of the Type I (Lacertomorpha) and Type II (Dracomorpha) lizards; the Dracomorpha show \"dynamical\" structures - pallium and dorsal thalamus - and remind, in some degree the mammal organization. Each structure in each species can be expressed by the way of a relation index; like the encephalization index, the referrence is given by the 6 Lacertidae of the sample. The analysis of these indices is carried according to the legless condition, tree-dwelling life, vision performance and the various possibilities to group the species (taxonomic units such as family or another else); the comparison of the various indices corroborates the pecularities of the Lacertomorpha on the one hand and of the Dracomorpha on the other hand. The isoponderal percentages are calculated taking into account the allometrical relations and thus are better than the relative volumes commonly used. They lead to results previously expressed by the various relation indices. The comparison between Lizards and Snakes leads to the following conclusions: Snakes are less different among themselves than the Lizards, but the species of modern type (Caenophidia) are more telencephalized; they show a proper brain organization; meanwhile the legless condition is expressed, like in the so-called lizards, by a reduced cerebellar volume.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022809"} {"pmid": "1022810", "title": "Anatomical and experimental study of certain association fascicles in the cortex of the rabbit (Oryctalagus cuniculus).", "content": "Anatomical and experimental study of certain association fascicles in the cortex of the rabbit (Oryctalagus cuniculus). 1. All lesions resulted in degeneration of the short intracortical association fibers in cortical layer I and of the short subcortical fibers which extended to the corona radiata before ending in the deeper layers of the overlying neopallium. 2. From all the lesions fibers were traced through the corona radiata to the subcallosal or the so-called superior fronto-occipital association bundle. This bundle had projection fibers to the orbitofrontal cortex. 3. From the lesion in the orbitofrontal neopallium, the orbitofrontal-pyriform connections were established. Such fibers coursed on the dorsal edge of the lateral olfactory tract and distributed to the pyriform cortex and to the nucleus of the lateral olfactory tract. 4. The uncinate fasciculus of man derived its name from its arching course from the base of the frontal lobe to the temporal lobe. Because of the more caudal position of the amygdala in the rabbit, the comparable fasciculus passed directly caudally and exhibited only slight arching. This fasciculus in the rabbit had the typical dorsal and ventral parts. The dorsal part arose from the orbitofrontal cortex to distribute to the pyriform and the temporal lobe cortices. The ventral portion extended into the olfactory tuberculum and the anterior amygdaloid area. 5. The paraventricular component of the transverse frontal fasciculus interconnected the neopallium with the medial part of the olfactory tuberculum. It had origins in the frontal and possibly in other neocortical areas. 6. The cingulum interconnected the medial portion of the olfactory tubercle, the septum, the various cingulate areas and areas of the neopallium with each other. 7.

The use of harmonic balancing techniques for theoretically investigating a large class of biochemical phase shift oscillators is outlined and the accuracy of this approximate technique for large dimension nonlinear chemical systems is considered. It is concluded that for the equations under study these techniques can be successfully employed to both find periodic solutions and to indicate those cases which can not oscillate. The technique is a general one and it is possible to state a step by step procedure for its application. It has a substantial advantage in producing results which are immediately valid for arbitrary dimension. As the accuracy of the method increases with dimension, it complements classical small dimension methods. The results obtained by harmonic balancing analysis are compared with those obtained by studying the local stability properties of the singular points of the differential equation. A general theorem is derived which identifies those special cases where the results of first order harmonic balancing are identical to those of local stability analysis, and a necessary condition for this equivalence is derived. As a concrete example, the n-dimensional Goodwin oscillator is considered where p, the Hill coefficient of the feedback metabolite, is equal to three and four. It is shown that for p = 3 or 4 and n less than or equal to 4 the approximation indicates that it is impossible to construct a set of physically permissible reaction constants such that the system possesses a periodic solution. However for n greater than or equal to 5 it is always possible to find a large domain in the reaction constant space giving stable oscillations. A means of constructing such a parameter set is given.

Native IgG and soluble IgG complexes were not taken up by the neutrophils and did not stimulate hexose monophosphate shunt activity in the presence or absence of rheumatoid sera. The addition of high titer RF sera to soluble IgG complexes produced precipitation of RF-IgG complexes which were capable of stimulating hexose monophosphate shunt activity in normal neutrophils. RF thus has been shown to change functionally inactive soluble complexes into functionally active insoluble complexes capable of stimulating normal neutrophils. Neutrophil stimulation by insoluble complexes may be important in the continuing inflammatory process occurring in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022869"} {"pmid": "1022870", "title": "Penicillamine in rheumatoid arthritis.

Connective tissue changes and alterations in serum copper and phase reactants in relation to clinical improvement. Thirteen patients, aged 27 to 70 years, with definite or classical rheumatoid arthritis were treated with penicillamine for six months. Skin biopsies and blood samples were compared with a clinical evaluation before and after therapy. The analyses of the skin included determinations of total collagen, thermal reaction of collagen, salt soluble collagen, in vitro uptake of 14C-proline and synthesis of 14C-hydroxyproline, as well as determinations of nucleic acids and proteoglycans. Serum concentrations of acute phase reactants, immunoglobulins, complement C3 and C4, rheumatoid factor, and iron, copper, and zinc were also determined. A positive correlation was found between clinical improvement and a fall in the number of granulocytes, a decrease in the concentration of acute phase reactants and serum copper, and an increase in salt soluble collagen of the skin. The total skin collagen decreased during treatment with penicillamine. The changes in skin collagen may reflect a generalized effect of penicillamine on collagen. These alterations may be part of an anti-inflammatory action of penicillamine.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022870"} {"pmid": "1022871", "title": "Antibodies to UV light denatured DNA in systemic lupus erythematosus: detection by filter radioimmunoassay and clinical correlations.", "content": "Antibodies to UV light denatured DNA in systemic lupus erythematosus: detection by filter radioimmunoassay and clinical correlations.

High levels of UV DNA binding were only found in patients with SLE. The presence of UV DNA antibodies correlated well with the presence of native DNA antibodies, although immunodiffusion studies and inhibition techniques showed these antibodies to be immunologically distinct in many cases. Forty-one per cent of the SLE patients had had photosensitivity at some stage of their disease, but there was a poor correlation between this symptom and the presence of UV DNA antibodies. Although UV DNA is known to be a potent immunogen, none of the results from this study suggests that antibodies to UV DNA are more than another example of the broad spectrum of antinuclear antibodies seen in SLE.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1022871"} {"pmid": "1022872", "title": "The effect of hydrocortisone acetate on adult human articular cartilage.", "content": "The effect of hydrocortisone acetate on adult human articular cartilage.

While, according to some, classification of leprosy is primarily clinical, there should be no objection to the application of the advances made in the last decade in understanding the immunological and histopathological aspects of the disease, provided thereby the clinical classification can be made with more accuracy. Unlike most other diseases, the bulk of the process of attempts at diagnosis and classification of this disease is still in the hands of para-medical personnel in the field, and hence it is important that at the same time, an easily understood, uniformly accepted clinical classification should be recommended for field workers. While tuberculoid and lepromatous leprosy of the polar types can be diagnosed with accuracy even under field conditions, confusion generally arises with reference to the diagnosis or indeterminate maculoanaesthetic and borderline forms, and to identify some reacting lesions. Certain terminologies in vogue add further to the confusion. Reacting lesions are confused with active lesions. The importance of recognition of varieties of reacting lesions is stressed since the therapeutic management in such cases is entirely different. It is suggested that the early forms of leprosy characterised by paucity of cardinal features of the disease should be separated from the more established types and grouped under the term indeterminate leprosy.

With respect to the relative concentration of GC pairs, the mtDNA of animals (bull, rat) does not differ from the corresponding nDNA. The relative concentration of GC pairs in the mtDNA of certain fish and birds is 1.5-2.5 mole% higher than in the respective nDNA. The kinetoplast DNA of the protozoan C. oncopelti (where the relative concentration of the GC pairs is 42.9 mole %) differs very sharply in composition from the nDNA (where the relative concentration of GC pairs is 51.3 mole %). The mtDNA's and kDNA's studied are distinguished from the respective nDNA'S by a lower degree of clustering of pyrimidine nucleotides. The proportion of mono- and dipyrimidine fragments in the mtDNA and kDNA is 30 mole %, while in the nDNA it does not exceed 23 mole %. The relative concentration of long pyrimidine clusters (hexapyrimidine clusters of larger) in the mtDNA is smaller than in the nDNA by a factor of 2-5. The low degree of clustering of the pyrimidine nucleotides is apparently characteristic of all the known mtDNA's and may support the fact that they have a single type of organization and are of a single origin. All the vertebrate mtDNA's studied contain 5-methylcytosine as a minor base (1.5-3.15 mole %), and their level of methylation is 1.5-2 times greater than that in the respective nDNA's. It has been shown that animals display species specificity with respect to the 5-methylcytosine content in the mtDNA. Its distribution among the pyrimidine clusters in the bovine heart mtDNA differs substantially from that in the nDNA. This suggests that the methylation specificities of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA are different. A DNA methylase, which effects the in vitro methylation of cytosine residues both in the homologous mtDNA and in different heterologous DNA's, has been found in rat liver and bovine heart mitochondria. The specificity of the in vitro methylation of the cytosine residues in the same heterologous Escherichia coli B DNA by the nuclear and mitochondrial enzymes is different: The mitochondrial enzyme methylates predominantly in monopyrimidine fragments, and the nuclear enzyme methylates mostly in di- and tripyrimidine fragments.

The histone F1 from the tissues investigated consists of four or five subfractions of similar number and electrophoretic mobility (1, 1a, 2, 3, and 4). In the different avian species each subfraction varied its mobility independently of the others.

In a parallel examination of the relative concentrations of the individual subfractions in the same tissues from the three avian species it has been found that the relative concentration of subfractions 3 and 2 is increased in the skeletal muscles, heart, brain, and liver, that subfraction 2 is increased in the intestinal mucosa, that subfractions 4 and 3 are increased in the pancreas, and that subfractions 1, 1a, and 4 are increased in the erythrocytes.

Wilson's disease, or hepatolenticular degeneration, is a rare inherited disorder of copper metabolism which usually affects young people. Excess copper accumulates in the tissues, primarily in the liver, brain, and cornea. This copper deposition results in a wide range of hepatic and neurological symptoms, and may produce psychiatric illness. Hepatic involvement often occurs in childhood, while neurological deficits generally are detected at a later age. The disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Ocular findings are of particular importance because the corneal copper deposition, forming the Kayser-Fleischer ring,is the only pathognomonic sign of the disease. The structure of the ring and the presence of copper have been well established. An anterior capsular deposition of copper in the lens results in a characteristic sunflower cataract in some of these patients. Other ocular abnormalities have been described but are much less common. The pathogenesis of the disease and the basic genetic defect remain obscure. It is clear that there is excess copper in the tissues, but the mechanism of its deposition is unknown. It is in some way associated with a failure to synthesize the serum copper protein ceruloplasmin normally. Another theory suggests that an abnormal protein with a high affinity for copper may bind the metal in the tissues. The diagnosis may be suggested by the clinical manifestations and confirmed by the presence of a Kayser-Fleischer ring. In the absence of these findings biochemical determinations are necessary. The most important of these are the serum ceruloplasmin, the urinary copper, and the hepatic copper concentration on biopsy. Treatment consists in the administration of the copper chelating agent, penicillamine, and the avoidance of a high copper intake. This usually results in marked clinical improvement if irreversible tissue damage has not occurred. Maintenance therapy for life is necessary in order to continue the negative copper balance. The detection and prophylactic treatment of asymptomatic individuals with the disease is especially important.

There are inner and outer gland groups in the human prostate. Benign nodular hyperplasia develops from the inner group of glands. Cancer develops from the outer gland group and consequently spreads beyond the prostate at an early stage in the disease. The biological malignancy of prostatic cancer varies from patient to patient and from part to part of the same tumor. Some tumors remain biologically inactive or latent so that there must be some naturally-occurring factor which controls tumor growth in these cases. Prostatic cancer patients may be divided into groups which differ in their response to endocrine treatment. These differences in response may be due to changes in the host or in the tumor cells. The temporary state of tumor retardation or latency follows endocrine treatment - generally anti-androgenic - in about 70 - 80% of all cases of prostatic cancer, but whatever form of treatment is used, about 75% of all cases die within 3 years. Even in tumors which show a marked response, endocrine treatment does not destroy all tumor cells. Hormone sensitivity therefore is not a property of the tumor as a whole but may vary from part to part of the same tumor.

For the appraisal of the local therapy-effect, transrectal aspiration biopsy can be successfully used if no high-voltage radiation treatment of the primary tumour has been administered. For local progress-checks on radiologically treated prostatic carcinomas, however, needle biopsy with the Tru-Cut needle is clearly superior to aspiration biopsy.

No improvement in the therapy-effect is to be achieved by the use of high-voltage radiation, especially in cases of undifferentiated carcinoma of the prostate. The clinical course is also largely determined by the primary degree of differentiation, and 20 % of stage C patients tend, with or without radiation-treatment, to rapid metastasisation, although the local tumour may have partically disappeared after such treatment.

No cross-tolerance was observed on the lordosis response with either order of treatments. Repeated doses of LSD did not influence locomotor activity differently from a single dose, while repeated doses of apomorphine enhanced this response in comparison with the effect of an acute dose.

The study revealed that locomotor activity seen with low doses of both isomers (2.0 mg/kg d- and 6.0 mg/kg l-) decreased with chronic once daily treatment.

Immunological capability is to a substantial extent genetically determined. Because genetic linkage exists between histocompatibility gene loci and certain immune response gene loci, histocompatibility specificities can serve as indicators for the presence of particular inherited immunological traits. In man, certain HLA antigens seem to be associated with immunogenetic traits which result in altered susceptibility to disease with known or suspected viral or autoimmune etiologies. We have found an association between HLA-A3 and \"classic\" cases of ALS. The A3 antigen was present in 49% of these cases, but not in the more chronic or benign form of the disease. Five out of six \"benign\" cases carried HLA-B12, suggesting perhaps the presence of a trait conferring resistance to the disease. Epidemiological surveys provide evidence both for and against a correlation between the incidence of ALS and that of HLA-A3 in various population groups. Because of the multiplicity of immune response genes, susceptibility or resistance to ALS in different populations may depend on different immune response genes. The association of a disease with selected HLA antigens or phenotypes might be suggestive of a viral-allergic etiology.

Theiler's viruses, which are common enteric pathogenes of mice, produce an unusual buphasic disease in the natural host following IC inoculation. There is an early phase of virus growth in CNS gray matter resulting in motor neuron degeneration and microglial proliferation. Since the spinal cord is the principal site of involvement, infected animals develop flaccid limb paralysis (early disease). Immunosuppression of the host during the early phase of infection augments virus growth and pathological lesions in gray matter, suggesting that TV causes a cytocidal infection of neurons. More importantly, surviving mice have persistent infection and pathological change limited to the spinal cord. There is marked mononuclear cell infiltration in the leptomeninges and white matter and concomitant primary demyelination. These changes are associated with a distinctive late-developing neurological disorder characterized by general inactivity, slowed movement, poor righting ability, and stimulus-sensitive extensor spasms. It appears that there are differences in host susceptibility to the development of late disease with the SJL/J inbred strain of mouse regularly showing the most severe clinical manifestations. Both humoral and cell-mediated immunity to TV antigen are delayed, reaching a maximum after 2 months; hence, this temporal sequence of the immune response is atypical of acute virus infections. Certain features of the late disease process favor an immune-mediated mechanism for demyelination, and this possibility is currently under investigation.

The stability to denaturation by heat and guanidine hydrochloride of seven vertebrate (including skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle) tropomyosins and three invertebrate tropomyosins was examined. The transition profiles were discontinuous and in many cases distinct plateaux were observed which indicated the presence of unique partially unfolded states at intermediate temperatures and guanidine hydrochloride concentrations. The denaturation by guanidine hydrochloride could be described in the majority of cases by a model in which the native state unfolds to a partially unfolded stable intermediate which then unfolds to the completely denatured state. On this basis it was possible to estimate the free energies of unfolding in water. It was shown that part of the alpha-helical structure of tropomyosin is only marginally stable and the free energy of unfolding in water of this segment is less than values found for globular proteins, whereas another segment (or segments) has a stability comparable to that found for globular proteins. The stepwise unfolding may be explained in terms of the coiled-coil interactions in tropomyosin. Differences in stability were found between tropomyosins from different muscles of the same species as well as between species, no two tropomyosins giving the same denaturation profiles. The invertebrate tropomyosins showed a wider range of stabilities, that from scallop striated muscle being far more easily denatured than all the others. No correlation was found between the stability of tropomyosin and the type of regulatory system of the muscle.

Affected chicks had enlarged livers (hepatomegaly), an increased content of lipid in the liver, and an increased level of palmitoleic acid in the liver lipids. The disorder was observed mainly in chicks from young parent flocks, and was associated either with commerical diets which were subsequently found to be low in biotin, or with specially formulated low-biotin diets. A third factor, imposition of stress, was required to initiate the disorder. There was evidence of increased lipogenesis causing an increase of triacylglycerols in the liver lipids and an increased production of saturated fatty acids, particularly palmitic acid. Increased levels of palmitoleic acid resulted from an increased desaturation of palmitic acid. Under stress, affected chicks had low blood glucose levels, suggesting that gluconeogenesis was impaired.

Beaks also contain small amounts of protein which are distinctly different from the major fraction but which resemble feather keratin proteins in composition and size.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1023860"} {"pmid": "1023863", "title": "Boophilus microplus: cellular responses to larval attachment and their relationship to host resistance.", "content": "Boophilus microplus: cellular responses to larval attachment and their relationship to host resistance. The histology of early feeding lesions of the cattle tick B. microplus has been studied using 32P labelled larvae to standardize the duration of attachment. Critical studies were made on 3-h lesions in six separate experiments on different groups of British breed animals. Each group consisted of three animals--one previously unexposed to ticks, one of high resistance and one of low resistance. The degree of mast cell disruption, eosinophil concentration and degranulation, and the extent of epidermal vesiculation were all significantly greater at the site of attachment on highly resistant hosts. In previously unexposed animals there was no mobilization of eosinophils nor mast cell breakdown and no epidermal vesiculation. Possible immune mechanisms producing mast cell disruption and the infiltration and concentration of eosinophils are suggested, and the effect of eosinophil degranulation on larval attachment and feeding is discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1023863"} {"pmid": "1023864", "title": "Metabolism of cystine by Merino sheep genetically different in wool production IV.

Rates of entry of cystine into plasma, measured with a single intravenous injection of L-[35S]cystine, and the subsequent incorporation of 35S into wool fibres. Ten, 2-year-old Merino ewes from a flock selectively bred for high clean fleece weight (Fleece Plus) and ten from a flock bred for low clean fleece weight (Fleece Minus) were randomly divided between two dietary treatments: 600 or 1100 g/day of pelleted lucerne hay. After 14 weeks, each ewe received an intravenous injection of L-[35S]cystine (66-4 muCi). Venous blood samples were collected at 15 specified times until 8 h after the injections, and wool fibres were plucked until 65-75 days after the injections. Protein-free filtrates prepared from blood plasma were bulked within sample times for ewes from the same flock and dietary treatment. Equations relating the specific radioactivity of free cystine isolated from the bulked filtrates to time after injection contained three exponential terms. The entry rate and pool size of cystine estimated from these equations were greater in Fleece Minus than in Fleece Plus ewes (by 25 and 44% respectively for entry rate and pool size). Both traits were also higher in ewes offered 1100 g lucerne/day than in those offered 600 g/day (58-7 v. 33-9 mg/h for entry rate and 19-2 v 11-8 mg for pool size). The concentration of free cystine in plasma was greater in ewes offered 1100 g lucerne/day (3-0 v 2-1 mg/1; P less than 0-05), and greater in Fleece Minus ewes (3-0 v. 2-1 mg/l; P less than 0-05). The percentage of the injected radioactivity recovered in the wool clipped to day 70 post-injection differed between genotypes and between dietary treatments (P less than 0.05), being greater in Fleece Plus than in Fleece Minus ewes, and greater in those offered 1100 g lucerne/day than in those offered 600 g/day. The relationships between 35S incorporated per 1000 fibres (R) and time after injection (t) were best fitted by equations of the form (formula: see text). For all sheep, n = 3. The coefficient of the second term was significantly greater (P less than 0-05) in ewes offered 1100 g lucerne/day, whilst the constant of this term was significantly greater in Fleece Minus ewes. The specific radioactivities of cystine incorporated into wool fibres (SRf) during various intervals of time after injection were derived from these equations and from the measured rates of output of cystine in wool. The equations computed to relate SRf to time after injection (t) were of the form (formula: see text). Again there were three components.

The transfer of sulphate from plasma to digestive tract and from digestive tract to plasma in crossbred sheep was estimated by the use of isotope dilution techniques with Na235SO4. The passage of 35S along the digestive tract was simultaneously measured by reference to two inert radioactive markers infused intraruminally. In the first experiment, three sheep given a roughage-based diet containing 174 +/- 7 mg S/day received an intravenous infusion of Na235SO4 for 7 days before collections were made of plasma and of digesta from the rumen, abomasum and terminal ileum. Similar collections were made in the second experiment in which four sheep received intraruminal infusions of Na235SO4. From estimates of infusion rate of 35S, specific radioactivity of 35S in plasma and digesta and rate of flow of sulphur in the digestive tract the following calculations were made: The transfer of sulphate from the plasma to the rumen was calculated as 29 mg S/day. Of this only 12 mg S/day passed as organic sulphur in digesta from the stomach. As the net gain of sulphur in the stomach in this experiment was 153 mg/day, sulphate transferred from the plasma contributed only a small amount of sulphur derived from endogenous sources in the stomach. In contrast, the substantial passage of 35S into the intestinal lumen during intravenous infusion of 35SO4 suggested that 38 and 41 mg S/day of the 236 and 145 mg organic S/day flowing from the small and large intestine respectively was derived from plasma sulphate, corresponding to about 26% of the dose.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1023865"} {"pmid": "1023866", "title": "Changes in plasma volume and haematocrit in intact and splenectomized sheep during feeding.", "content": "Changes in plasma volume and haematocrit in intact and splenectomized sheep during feeding.

Jugular haematocrit was increased by 16% in intact sheep and 9% in splenectomized sheep 20 min after they started to eat dry rations. The dilution of tracer in plasma, studied after mixing in the vascular system had been completed, showed four phases. Phase 1 was the rate of removal of tracer in the period before eating began. Phase 2 was the sudden increase in plasma radioactivity that occurred in the first 20 min of eating, indicating a loss of plasma from the circulation. Phase 3 was the decrease in tracer concentration during the remaining feeding period and phase 4 was a post-feeding phase, characterized by a slower rate of decrease of tracer than during phase 3, implying that there was significant recycling of tracer during this phase. The sudden increase in plasma radioactivity, initiated by the onset of feeding, represented a reduction in plasma volume of 10-12%. Minimum plasma volume coincided with peak haematocrit values. The reduced plasma volume accounted for the increased haematocrit in splenectomized sheep, but only accounted for about half of the increase in intact sheep.

A number of enzymes, presumably secreted by larvae of B. microplus under natural feeding conditions, have been investigated in the skin of previously unexposed calves 4 h after infestation at the attachment site. Carboxylic ester hydrolase activity was demonstrated in the dermis, immediately adjacent to the mouthparts, or in the attachment cone, depending on substrate and reaction pH. The carboxylic ester hydrolase acting on naphthol AS-D acetate (2-acetoxy-3-naphthoic-O-toluidide) at pH 7-1 was characteristically found in the dermis and not in the attachment cone. The use of specific inhibitors showed that this enzyme was primarily a B-esterase or carboxylesterase with possibly a small portion of C-esterase or acetylesterase. It is postulated that carboxylic ester hydrolase could contribute to the dilation observed in the subepidermal capillaries adjacent to the attachment sites of unexposed animals, through the formation of plasma kinins. Other enzymes demonstrated in the dermis, adjacent to the mouthparts, were triacylglycerol lipase, as an aggregated deposit, and small amounts of aminopeptidase (microsomal) and monophenol monooxygenase. Aminopeptidase (microsomal) was also demonstrated in the attachment cone or adjacent epidermis, according to the substrate used.

A study has been made of the oxygen uptake, glucose utilization, lactate release and cellular content of adenine nucleotides of isolated sheep ovarian follicles (4-6 min in diameter) maintained in organ culture, and of the effects on these parameters of the addition of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). The mean oxygen consumption of the entire follicles when freshly isolated and of the theca and membrana components was 0-56, 1-08 and 0-05 mumol per milligram wet weight of tissue per hour respectively. About 8 mumol of glucose was taken up and 16 mumol of lactate released per milligram wet weight of follicular tissue per hour during the first 24-h period of culture. This rate reduced by about 30% for each subsequent day of culture, but was significantly increased by the addition of hCG. The mean ATP content of theca and granulosa tissues was 4-6 and 2-8 nmol/mg wet weight of tissue respectively. There was no discernable change in tissue adenine nucleotide content or energy charge ratio during the 3-day culture period, and prolonged exposure to hCG was without effect. Untreated follicles produced both oestrogen and androgens throughout the culture period. The addition of hCG resulted in a transitory stimulation in oestrogen secretion, inhibition of androgen secretion, and a marked and sustained rise in progestin secretion. It is proposed that the increase in glycolytic activity following exposure to hCG may relate to the activation of the granulosa cells coincident with a transference of steroid synthetic capacity from theca interna to membrana granulosa.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1023868"} {"pmid": "1023869", "title": "Effects of progesterone and oestradiol on RNA and protein metabolism in the genital tract and on survival of embryos in the ovariectomized ewe.", "content": "Effects of progesterone and oestradiol on RNA and protein metabolism in the genital tract and on survival of embryos in the ovariectomized ewe.

Ovariectomized ewes received injections of maintenance progesterone, oestrous oestradiol and priming progesterone according to schedules designed to simulate endogenous ovarian secretion during early pregnancy, around the time of oestrus and during the luteal phase of the oestrous cycle immediately preceding oestrus. The survival and development of embryos was dependent upon the dose of maintenaince progesterone and the duration of treatment at the time of transfer, but changes in progesterone dose did not change endometrial protein or RNA metabolism on particular days. Both priming progesterone and oestrous oestradiol were required for normal embryo development. Priming progesterone and oestrous oestradiol each increased endometrial RNA/DNA ratios during early pregnancy. There were no interactions between priming progesterone and oestrous oestradiol, their effects being simply additive. Neither maintenance nor priming progesterone had any effect on protein and RNA metabolism in the oviduct.

Both natural and synthetic hormone, when infused at constant rates (0.005 approximately 0.5 MRC U/hr), produced a rapid increase (peaking at about 60-90 min) in phosphate clearance. However, the maximal increase was transient in nature in PTX rats. In intact rats, the phosphaturic response was somewhat more pronounced and the decline after the peak was rather modest. When a large amount (4 MRC U) of calcitonin was given in divided doses, the second dose produced a lesser extent of phosphaturia in both intact and PTX rats. The phosphaturic response was accompanied by an increase in sodium and potassium clearances in PTX rats and by an increase in potassium clearance in intact rats. A fall in the apparent clearance values for calcium and magnesium occurred and was maintained throughout the infusion period of hormone in both intact and PTX rats. In conclusion, PTX rats respond to the intravenous administration of salmon calcitonin with a transient phosphaturic response which is accompanied by parallel diuresis of sodium and potassium along with sustained retention of calcium and magnesium by the kidney.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024037"} {"pmid": "1024024", "title": "Proposed selective immunization of Canadians against A/Swine strain of influenza.", "content": "Proposed selective immunization of Canadians against A/Swine strain of influenza.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024024"} {"pmid": "1024025", "title": "Continuity with change. 1976 Lilly lecture.", "content": "Continuity with change. 1976 Lilly lecture.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024025"} {"pmid": "1024039", "title": "Development of the vaginal epithelium showing estrogen-independent proliferation and cornification in neonatally androgenized mice.", "content": "Development of the vaginal epithelium showing estrogen-independent proliferation and cornification in neonatally androgenized mice.

The vaginal epithelium of the mice was essentially similar to that of the controls in histological structure during or shortly after neonatal injections of the androgens. In T- and DHT-mice aged over 20 days, however, a marked proliferation with or without superficial cornification took place in the epithelium lining the proximal and middle parts of the vagina (Müllerian vagina), while neither proliferation nor cornification occurred in the epithelium of the distal vagina (urogenital sinus vagina). On the second day of postnatal life in mice given a single injection with T on the day of birth, the mitotic activity in the epithelium of the middle vagina was heightened, but it dropped to the control level on the third day and remained low until 20 days. By contrast, the mitotic rates in the epithelium of the rest of the vagina in T-mice and of all parts of the vagina in DHT-mice were approximately the same as in the controls until 20 or 30 days. The mitotic rates in the epithelium of the Müllerian vagina were markedly elevated in T-mice at 20 days of age and DHT-mice at 30 days, and thereafter remained almost unchanged until 60 days of age. These results were different from the findings in mice given neonatal injections with the dose of estradiol-17 beta (E) capable of estrogen-independent vaginal cornification (Iguchi et al., 1976).

Ultrastructural changes of the vaginal epithelium in neonatally estrogenized mice was examined after a single postpuberal injection of 10 microng estradiol and compared with those seen in normal mice to estrogen. In ovariectomized normal mice, the basal cells were round. The nucleus was polygonal and contained peripheral condensed chromatin. After estradiol treatment, the basal cells became columnar. The nucleus was round to oval, containing dispersed chromatin. In neonatally estrogenized ovariectomized mice, the basal layer of vaginal epithelium consisted of round cells with polygonal nuclei, much as in normal ovariectomized mice. The nucleus occupied a large area of the cytoplasm and contained prominent nucleoli. Intercellular spaces were moderately distended. Late estradiol treatment resulted in distended intercellular spaces and in the appearance of the other cell type along with round cells in the basal layers: the columnar cells containing an oval nucleus with dispersed chromatin, resembled the basal cells in normal ovariectomized mice receiving postpuberal estrogen injection. The intercellular spaces between the columnar cells were narrow compared with those between round cells. However, the nuclei of round cells still had prominent nucleoli and peripheral condensed chromatin regardless of subsequent estrogen treatment.

The immunoassay procedure requires only one-step ethanol denaturation of binding proteins in plasma and extraction by an organic solvent can be omitted. Furthermore, use of 125I-labeled tracer significantly simplify the counting procedure. The method is sensitive enough to detect 1 microng/100 ml of 11-deoxycortisol.

In the group given iodine (1 mg/day) as iodinated-lecithine, the initial values of T4, T3, T3-RU and FT4I were 20.9 +/- 1.6 microng/100 ml (T4), greater than 740 ng/100 ml (T3), 49.5 +/- 2.3% (T3-RU) and 14.7 +/- 1.8 (FT4I).

The study group is considered to be a representative sampling of the economic, cultural, and ethnic groups within the population of all of Delhi. Breast feeding was almost universal but for varying durations. 5.5%, 11.7%, and 22.8% of the children were breast fed for less than 1 month, 2 months, and 6 months respectively. Literate and older mothers tended to breast feed for shorter periods of time. Illiterate mothers, on the other hand, tended to prolong breast feeding unduly. The sex of the infant and the duration of the urban stay of the mother did not seem to affect the duration of breast feeding. Supplementation with liquid feeds, 50% diluted buffalo milk in the majority of cases, was begun rather early but the introduction of semisolids and solids was very often unduly delayed. This was particularly true among illiterate mothers. Thus, it is felt that a concerted effort to educate mothers, especially illiterate and underprivileged mothers, regarding the role of breast feeding and the benefits of supplementation feeding would improve infant nutritional status.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024090"} {"pmid": "1024093", "title": "Malaria in Madras city.", "content": "Malaria in Madras city.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024093"} {"pmid": "1024092", "title": "Broncho pulmonary complications of measles: analysis of 100 cases.", "content": "Broncho pulmonary complications of measles: analysis of 100 cases.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024092"} {"pmid": "1024094", "title": "Pain abdomen-a clinical study.", "content": "Pain abdomen-a clinical study.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024094"} {"pmid": "1024097", "title": "A \"should\" that has become an \"is\".", "content": "A \"should\" that has become an \"is\".", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024097"} {"pmid": "1024095", "title": "Myositis ossificans progressiva (a case report).", "content": "Myositis ossificans progressiva (a case report).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024095"} {"pmid": "1024096", "title": "Congenital methaemoglobinemia (report of a case).", "content": "Congenital methaemoglobinemia (report of a case).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024096"} {"pmid": "1024098", "title": "Aims, organization, and initial studies of the Cross-National Project.", "content": "Aims, organization, and initial studies of the Cross-National Project.

Prognostic predictions in disagreement cases were no better or no worse by psychiatric diagnosis than by psychological tests. Compared to a simple clinical test of disorientation derived from the psychiatric interview, psychological tests were more highly correlated to independent measures of patients' self-care capacity and duration of hospitalization, but equally related to psychiatric diagnosis.

Between 1968 and 1973 forty nine patients suffering from poliomyelitic scoliosis were treated surgically at the Rizzoli Institute. They were due to asymmetrical paralysis and contracture in the muscles of the trunk and limbs. Associated pathological conditions were found, such as pelvic obliquity, and vascular and trophic changes due to ganglionic lesions. The differing incidence and combination of these factors gave rise to various clinical types of spinal deformity. The average severity of curve was 39 degrees, the localisation was predominantly central, the average extent was ten vertebrae, and there was a marked predominance of right convexity (twenty nine out of thirty six). The rate of progression was maximum during puberty and almost negligible after bony maturity. It was greater in males and was unfavourably affected by the severity and asymmetrical distribution of the paralysis, by the early appearance of the disease, by high localisation of the deformity, and by the erect posture in patients who were ambulant. The most frequent visceral complications were in the respiratory system (ten patients with a deficit over 50%), followed by cardiac changes. Surgical treatment was adopted in patients with progressive curves over 60 degrees, because of the inevitable deterioration in their general condition and the tendency of the deformity to become fixed. Pre-operative correction by Halo-traction results (52% correction) than Risser plasters (38%). Posterior arthrodesis by Harrington's method was carried out in all the more recent cases (forty four). Post-operative plaster was maintained for eight months and then replaced by an orthopaedic corset. At bony maturity there was an averaged improvement of 35% in the angle of curvature, and an average improvement of 6% in vital capacity. The best corrections were obtained in patients under fourteen (42%), in dorso-lumbar scoliosis (40%) and in patients with curves above 100 degrees (38%). There was an average increase in height of 9.1 cms and a reduction in the gibbus of 3.4 cms. The complications included one traumatic pneumothorax, eight pseudarthroses, and breakage of the distraction rod in two cases resulting in complete relapse of the deformity. In six cases the upper hooks became loos and there were two cases of postoperative staphylococcal infection.

The cruciate ligaments are removed, which markedly increases the possibility of correcting even severe deformities. The fixation of the tibial component is improved by the adoption of a short stem. The prosthesis has a certain intrinsic stability on weightbearing.

A new clinico-pathologic entity is described. It is defined as osteofibrous dysplasia of long bones, and is based on twenty two personal observations to which are added seventeen cases from the literature. This dysplasic congenital lesion is clearly differentiated from fibrous dysplasia by clinical, radiographic and histological characteristics and by its clinical course. These features may be summarised as follows: 1) Slight predominance of the male sex. 2) Very early age of onset either at birth or in the first years of life. 3) Site almost exclusively tibial, sometimes also in the fibula. Localisation predominantly in the middle third of the tibial diaphysis, but sometimes in the distal or proximal third. In the fibula, it is always at the distal third. 4) The lesion is painless and generally causes bony enlargement. There is often slight anterior bowling and more rarely, slight varus of valgus bowing. Pathological fracture may occur; rarely there is a pseudarthrosis. 5) The radiographic appearances are very characteristic, with enlargement of the bone, intracortical osteolytic lesions with thinning or disappearance of the external cortex, sclerotic reaction on the medullary aspect, and narrowing of the medullary canal. 6) The histological features are also typical, consisting of fibrous tissue enclosing bone trabeculae lined by osteoblasts and a \"zonal\" architectural pattern. 7) Sometimes the lesion tends to heal spontaneously in the very early years of life; in other cases it is moderatley progressive. It relapses frequently after curettage, but such recurrences are generally non-progressive. In some cases slight anterior bowing persists permanently. 8) Surgery should be restricted to patients over the age of five in whom the lesion is extensive, with imminent or actual pathological fracture, and to the rare cases of pseudarthrosis. The results are good even in cases of relapse or pseudarthrosis. The correction of residual bowing, if indicated, can safely be carried out with one or more osteotomies at the age of ten to twelve years.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024109"} {"pmid": "1024111", "title": "Respiratory function in severe scoliosis before and after treatment (a review of 76 cases).", "content": "Respiratory function in severe scoliosis before and after treatment (a review of 76 cases). The authors carried out a study of respiratory function in seventy six patients suffering from severe scoliosis of different types; forty five idiopathic, sixteen poliemyelitic, ten congenital, and five neurofibromatosic. The age incidence was from a minimum of eleven years to a maximum of thirty three, with the average around fifteen years. The site of the deformity was predominantly dorsal (fifty cases), though there were also lumbar and dorso-lumbar types. The average angle of curvature (Cobb) before treatment was 110 degrees. Arthrodesis by the Harrington technique was carried out on all patients after correction with a Risser-type plaster in sixty nine cases, and Halo-traction in seven cases. The post operative period in plaster was about eight months. Spirometric tests were carried out before treatment, after preoperative correction, and two to three years after operation, always with the chest out of plaster. The results of these tests are expressed as percentage reductions in the maximum ventilation compared with the average normal values in the tables reported by Baldwin et al. (1948). The values obtained before commencing treatment showed that lumbar scoliosis even if very severe, never leads to severe respiratory deficits. There is no linear relationship between the severity of the curve and the respiratory deficit, though there is a general connection between them. Tests of respiratory function were carried out after corrective treatment, both before and after operation and at a two year follow up. There was an overall average improvement of 10% in the respiratory deficit, with a maximum of about 20% in a group of twenty two patients with the most severe deficit before commencing treatment. Follow-up three years after operation showed the improvement in respiratory fimction had been maintained. The authors conclude that arthrodesis by the Harrington technique does not diminish the respiratory gain achieved by pre-operative correction.

The authors describe the satisfactory results obtained in sixteen intercondyloid fractures of the humerus, thirteen of which were treated surgically. The preference for surgical treatment in such fractures is based in the assumption that, as in all articular fractures, a good functional result can only be achieved if there is the most perfect possible reconstruction of the fragments and the joint surface. A classification is therefore suggested which is based not purely on anatomical criteria, but is also related to treatment and prognosis. The slendor nature of the distal end of the humerus and the danger of metal reaction call for the use of fixation devices that are efficient but slender, such as fine screws and crossed wires. The precise method of fixation is conditioned above all by the direction of the fracture lines. More solid fixation with early mobilisation can be achieved by compression screws, and less solid fixation with longer immobilisation is achieved by fixation with crossed Kirschner wires. Consequently, the more oblique types of fracture with fragments with long beaks that allow more stable fixation with compression screws have the more favourable prognosis. In the evaluation of results, the authors emphasize the importance of using parameters which take into account the functionally useful range of joint movement.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024113"} {"pmid": "1024114", "title": "Intraosseus lipoma.", "content": "Intraosseus lipoma.

Cell wall structure and biogenesis in the unicellular green alga, Oocystis apiculata, is described. The wall consists of an outer amorphous primary layer and an inner secondary layer of highly organized cellulosic microfibrils. The primary wall is deposited immediately after cytokinesis. Golgi-derived products contribute to this layer. Cortical microtubules underlie the plasma membrane immediately before and during primary wall formation. They function in maintaining the elliptical cell shape. Following primary wall synthesis, Golgi-derived materials accumulate on the cell surface to form the periplasmic layer. This layer functions in the deposition of coating and cross-linking substances which associate with cellulosic microfibrils of the incipient secondary wall. Secondary wall microfibrils are assembled in association with the plasma membrane. Freeze-etch preparations of untreated, living cells reveal linear terminal complexes in association with growing cellulosic microfibrils. These complexes are embedded in the EF fracture face of the plasma membrane. The newly synthesized microfibril lies in a groove of the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane. The groove is decorated on the EF fracture face by perpendicular structures termed \"ridges\". The ridges interlink with definitive rows of particles associated withe PF fracture face of the innter leaflet of the plasma membrane. These particles are termed \"granule bands\", and they function in the orientation of the newly synthesized microfibrils. Microfibril development in relation to a coordinated multienzyme complex is discussed.

Four neurotoxins that activate the action potential Na+ionophore of electrically excitable neuroblastoma cells interact with two distinct classes of sites, one specific for the alkaloids veratridine, batrachotoxin, and aconitine, and the second specific for scorpion toxin. Positive heterotropic cooperativity is observed between toxins bound at these two classes of sites. Tetrodotoxin, a specific inhibitor of the action potential Na+ current, inhibits activation by each of these toxins in a noncompetitive manner (KI=4-8 nM). These results suggest the existence of three functionally separable components of the action potential Na+ionophore: two regulatory components which bind activating neurotoxins and interact allosterically in controlling the activity of a third ion-transport component, which binds tetrodotoxin. The dissociation constant for scorpion toxin binding is increased 10-fold by depolarization of the cells with K+, suggesting that the scorpion toxin binding site is located on a voltage-sensitive regulatory component of the ionophore.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024123"} {"pmid": "1024124", "title": "Interaction of charged lipid vesicles with planar bilayer lipid membranes: detection by antibiotic membrane probes.", "content": "Interaction of charged lipid vesicles with planar bilayer lipid membranes: detection by antibiotic membrane probes.

The hypothalamic-arterial blood temperature gradient (THpr-TAC difference) was studied on 10 freely moving rabbits at ambient temperatures between 0 and 42 degrees Celsius. In cold environment, below 10 degrees Celsius the THpt-TAC gradient varied considerably, but some distinct correlations were found between vasomotor responses of the nasal mucosa and fluctuations of brain temperature, as well as between vasomotor responses of the ear pinnas and changes of the arterial blood temperature. Vasodilatation of the nasal mucosa or the ear pinna caused respectively a drop in brain temperature or in arterial blood temperature. Opposite changes were induced by vasoconstriction in those areas. Variations in THpt-TAC gradient resulted from oppositely directed vasomotor responses in the nasal mucosa and in the ear pinnas. At high ambient temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius thermal panting was accompanied by selective brain cooling with respect to the arterial blood. Blocking the heat loss from the nasal mucosa caused an increase of the THpt-TAC difference, and under these conditions brain temperature was determined solely by arterial blood temperature. The assumed mechanism of the selective brain cooling in rabbits is the exchange of heat through the neurocranial bottom, between the ventral brain and the spacious splanchnocranial venous lakes supplied with blood from the nasal mucosa.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024458"} {"pmid": "1024460", "title": "Electrical stimulation of the hippocampus and acquisition of the conditioned avoidance response in shuttle-box in cats.", "content": "Electrical stimulation of the hippocampus and acquisition of the conditioned avoidance response in shuttle-box in cats.

Both weak or strong hippocampal stimulation applied simultaneously with conditioned stimulus (CS) facilitated the acquisition of AAR. After discontinuation of stimulation the level of AAR performance in response to CS alone decreased in cats trained with the use of strong stimulation. However, if the stimulation was applied before each experimental session the level of AAR performance did not differ from that observed during the final phase of training. These changes of AAR were not observed in cats trained with the use of weak stimulation. The application of hippocampal stimulation alone did not evoke AAR in shuttle-box after training independently of stimulation parameters.

The role of the cranial venous lakes in the defence against hyperthermia. Chronic experiments were conducted on five freely moving rabbits at ambient temperatures of 0-42 degrees Celsius. The influence of nasal mucosal thermal changes on the venous blood temperature inside the pterygoid plexus and on the temperatures at three intracerebral sites were investigated against the background of the carotid arterial blood temperature shifts. A correlation was found between: (i) the fluctuations in the nasal mucosal temperature reflecting its vasomotor responses, (ii) temperature shifts of the pterygoid plexus venous blood, and (iii) of the ventral brain. Mucosal vasodilatation caused parallel drops in both the plexal blood and brain temperatures. However, mucosal vasoconstriction was accompanied by increases in temperatures at those sites. Intracranial thermal shifts were independent of the arterial blood temperature changes. During motor activity in normothermia nasal mucosal vasoconstriction was present, and in that case brain temperatures exceeded arterial blood temperature. During rest, mucosal vasodilatation appeared and brain base cooled below the arterial blood temperature. During panting in dry heat, the brain base was cooler than the arterial blood by as much as 0.5 degree Celsius. The intensity of the selective brain cooling was directly proportional to deep body temperature. The blockade of the respiratory evaporation in heat elicited an increase of the plexal venous blood as well as brain temperatures above the arterial blood temperature. We conclude that the venous blood outflowing from the nasal mucosa exerts a cooling influence on the brain through the pterygoid plexus.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024459"} {"pmid": "1024461", "title": "Effects of electrical hippocampal stimulation on acquisition and performance of unidirectional active avoidance response in cats.", "content": "Effects of electrical hippocampal stimulation on acquisition and performance of unidirectional active avoidance response in cats.

The disorder is slowly progressive and significant disability appears in elderly women when the trunk muscles are involved. Epidemiological studies have shown that the presence of tremor can be correlated with linguistic distinctions between high and low prevalence populations. Although only 30 patients reported a first degree relative with tremor, the syndrome would seem to stem from a genetic predisposition.

Plasma protein binding of phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin) in 63 epileptic patients was investigated with an ultrafiltration technique at room temperature using 14C-labelled phenytoin. A strong correlation was found between the total and the unbound drug concentration (r = 0.97, p less than 0.001). The unbound phenytoin fraction was 7.1 +/- 1.0% with a range of 4.9 to 10.2%. This variation is considerably less than that reported recently by different authors. Individual phenytoin binding was reproducible when the determination was repeated several weeks later. Salivary phenytoin concentrations in 33 epileptic patients were significantly correlated to the unbound (r = 0.83) and total concentrations (r = 0.82) of phenytoin in plasma. This study confirms that the clinical practice of monitoring total phenytoin plasma concentrations is sufficient, since the unbound phenytoin fraction has only a 2-fold interindividual variation in epileptic patients, provided that they do not suffer from renal or hepatic disease.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024769"} {"pmid": "1024785", "title": "Microwave ovens. 2.

A replacement child perceives his status differently on both a cognitive and emotional level within the context of each developmental phase, and the affective and associative links need to be reworked each time.

Eight cases of late infection were predicted correctly 1-3 months before any radiologic evidence was present. In four cases there had been false-positive results with 99mTc-HEDP while 18F gave always correct information except in cases of soft tissue inflammation. Here both 99mTc-HEDP and 18F ratios were elevated. The early diagnosis of late complications after replacement arthroplasty seems to be possible.

DL-alpha-Hydrazino-delta-aminovaleric acid (DL-HAVA) is a potent and fairly specific inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.17). Its effect on polyamine metabolism and cell proliferation was investigated in sarcoma-180, inoculated into the axillary region of mice. In the tumor tissues, the activities of ornithine and S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylases and the putrescine level were much higher in the early stage of growth than those in normal mouse liver. Administration of DL-HAVA greatly depressed the putrescine level and putrescine formation from L-ornithine. It also suppressed DNA synthesis and increase in weight of the tumor tissue. However, it had little effect on RNA synthesis or the tissue concentration of spermidine and spermine. The inhibition of DNA synthesis and subsequent tumor development by DL-HAVA was effectively prevented by putrescine, but not by cadaverine or 1,7-diaminoheptane. From these results it is concluded that the suppression of DNA synthesis and neoplastic growth by DL-HAVA is due to decrease in the putrescine level by inhibition of ornithine decarboxylase.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1024852"} {"pmid": "1024851", "title": "In vivo and in vitro cell-mediated immune reactions to auto-chthonous tumor extracts in patients with gastric cancer.", "content": "In vivo and in vitro cell-mediated immune reactions to auto-chthonous tumor extracts in patients with gastric cancer.

Close correlation was observed between macrophage inhibition and diameter of skin reaction to tumor extract. Incidence of positive reaction in both tests to normal tissue extract was 55% and 12%, respectively. Significant inhibition of macrophage to tumor extract was also observed in breast cancer, but not in superficial gastric cancer and healthy persons. Normal tissue extract did not induce significant inhibition of macrophage in gastric ulcer. These results suggest that macrophage electrophoretic mobility test indicates a certain aspect of tumor-associated (but not tumor-specific) immunity in cancer patients.

This study of addicted female arrestees in Denver (N = 153) and Philadelphia (N = 227) concluded that the hypothesized either-or pattern of addicted female criminal behavior is overly simplistic. Rather, four criminal behavior patterns of female arrestees are found: (1) prostitutes without a history of serious crimes, (2) females with a history of serious crimes who are not prostitutes, (3) females who are both prostitutes and commit serious crimes, and (4) females who are not prostitutes and who commit only minor offenses. The utility of the four-pattern typology is borne out by analyses which indicate that these patterns are typical of different groups of female addicts and are not stages in a unitary socialization pattern involving drugs, prostitution, and crime.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1025031"} {"pmid": "1025032", "title": "Alpha conditioning as an adjunct treatment for drug dependence: part I.", "content": "Alpha conditioning as an adjunct treatment for drug dependence: part I.

Health status indexes have focused on physical function such as the activities of daily living, perhaps because the National Health Survey provides data of this sort or because it is the object of rehabilitation programs. In an attempt to elicit values concerning loss of function, 150 health workers were asked to assign weights from zero to 10 for 50 abilities or functions. Serious methodological problems were encountered in finding terms describing functional loss that were simple and meaningful to a wide range of workers. In addition, an open-ended request was made to identify other functions not included in the list. The largest average values were assigned to ability to use one's mental abilities, to see, to think clearly, to love and be loved in return, to make decisions for oneself, to live at home, to walk, to maintain contact with family and friends, and to talk. Some of the functional loss implied in these responses may not be amenable to cure or rehabilitation but may be preventable and thus needs to be included in outcome measures.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1025051"} {"pmid": "1025052", "title": "Development and application of an index of social function.", "content": "Development and application of an index of social function.

The social function items have been found to be generally applicable, capable of application by lay interviewers, and acceptable to interviewees. Initial evaluations to form composite scores for social function items have demonstrated their validity against concurrent assessments of a health professional. These social function indexes have been successfully applied in two randomized trials of innovative primary care services. The criteria for inclusion of items in the social function index questionnaire, the generation of the instrument, and the evaluation of questionnaire responses for their validity are summarized here.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1025052"} {"pmid": "1025053", "title": "Making annual indexes of health.", "content": "Making annual indexes of health.

The weights attached to the expected durations are derived from the instantaneous incidence rates, or intensity functions, that define the transition probabilities.

The Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) is a measure of sickness-related behavioral dysfunction consisting of 189 items in 14 topic categories. To increase its discrimination, precision, and sensitivity in accounting for variance, the decision was made to scale the instrument. A two-step direct scaling procedure was used in order to avoid the monumental scaling tasks required by indirect procedures that guarantee equal-interval results; but because an equal-interval scale was needed, it was necessary to validate the scale values obtained and investigated the equal-intervval properties of the obtained scale. A three-stage validation process is described, consisting of an initial scaling by a group of 25 health professionals and students in 1973, a second scaling by 108 members of a prepaid group health plan in 1975, and an investigation of the metric properties of the resulting scale values. In addition, the concept of dysfunction underlying the SIP was validated. SIP scores from a field trial were compared with mean ratings of severity of dysfunction represented by the combinations of checked items from which the scores were derived.", "url":

There are three classes of myofilaments in vertebrate smooth muscle fibers. The thin filaments correspond to actin and the thick filaments are identified with myosin. The third class of myofilaments (100 A diam) is distinguished from both the actin and the myosin on the basis of fine structure, solubility, and pattern of localization in the muscle fibers. Direct structural evidence is presented to show that the 100A filament constitute an integrated filamentous network with the dense bodies in the sarcoplasm, and that they are not connected to either the actin or myosin filaments. Examination of (a) isolated dense bodies, (b) series of consecutive sections through the dense bodies, and (c) redistributed dense bodies in stretched muscle fibers supports this conclusion. It follows that the 100-A filaments complexes constitute a structrally distinct filamentous network. Analysis of polyacrylamide gels after electrophoresis of cell fractions that are enriched with respect to the 100-A filaments shows the presence of a new muscle protein with a molecular weight of 55,000. This protein can form filamentous segments that closely resemble in structure the native, isolated 100-A filaments.

The removal of con A from its binding sites at the cell surface with alpha-methyl mannoside, and the return of these sites to their original distribution are also followed in this manner. There are labeling differences with con A and ricin. Under some conditions, however, the same rearrangements are seen with both lectins.

Such evidence has been provided by those therapists with clinical experience in marital systems who are prepared to utilize theories evolved from a multidisciplinary approach to marital problems.

The contracture was composed of three contraction components, quick-phasic, slow transient, and substained states. The height of the second component decreased with time when the preparation was immersed in high-K solution. This was observed during a brief washing treatment with normal Tyrode solution applied at varius times after immersion in high-K solution. When the brief washing treatment was applied after 30 min, a contracture composed of the first and the third components was observed. Similar results were obtained in Ca-induced contracture of K-depolarized preparations. Fluctuations of tension were observed in the course of the contracture. The fluctuations could be evoked by various types treatments and were observed to have some relationship to extracellular Ca. It was indicated that extracellular Ca has an important role in the initiation of each component of the contracture and that the role of Ca is controlled by the cell membrane.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1025321"} {"pmid": "1025305", "title": "Insulin kinetics after portal and peripheral injection of labelled insulin.

In some experimental systems, it was shown that the capacity of disseminated tumor cells to give rise to distant metastases is in part determined by the efficiency of escape.

The mean blood pressure is related to age and parity. Median-age gravidas (20-34 years) of parity 1-5 have the lowest mean blood pressures overall at any time during gestation. The mean blood pressure of nulliparas, independent of age, is elevated over the mean blood pressure of comparable multiparas. Independent of parity, maternal age systematically affects the mean blood pressure. 5. The standard deviations for the mean diastolic and systolic blood pressures are approximately 9 and 11 mm.

The regulation of amino acid transport has been investigated in Balb/3T3 cells. Transport for neutral amino acids in animal tissues is carried out by two distinct systems. The transport activity of the A system (alanine preferring) is inhibited by high internal of substrate amino acids, a process termed trans-inhibition. In contrast, the L system transport activity is greatly stimulated by high internal levels of substrate, a phenomenon termed trans-stimulation. Regulation of amino acid transport in animal cells occurs by a repression-derepression mechanism or by a feedback inhibition or feedback stimulation process. The level of endogenous amino acids is shown to be important in the regulation of transport activity. Cells which are slow growing or quiescent have increased levels of endogenous amino acids, which in turn effect the transport activity. The A system transport activity is decreased in quiescent cells, whereas L system transport activity increases. Conditions which effect endogenous amino acid levels have an effect on transport activity. Feedback regulation of transport activity through the amino acid pool levels is another way animal cells can regulate transport activity.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1025575"} {"pmid": "1025623", "title": "Scanning electron microscopy of four teleostean retinas.", "content": "Scanning electron microscopy of four teleostean retinas.

The e system seems a valuable diagnostic tool utilizing the presence of the antigen to differentiate patients with chronic progressive disease from healthy carriers who, in contrast, often have circulating anti-e antibodies; its clinical value, however, is at present limited by the low sensitivity of the technique used for antigen detection. A significant association between e antigen and the intrahepatic expression of the core determinant of the HB virus was observed inthis study, suggesting they have a similar role in pathogenicity and infectivity; the association between anti-e antibody and HBsAg appeared uncertain, HBsAg being present in the liver irrespective of e reactivity.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1025647"} {"pmid": "1025651", "title": "Studies on parathyroid scintiphotography.", "content": "Studies on parathyroid scintiphotography.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1025651"} {"pmid": "1025673", "title": "RNA content of isolated hepatocytes determined by microinterferometry [proceedings].", "content": "RNA content of isolated hepatocytes determined by microinterferometry [proceedings].", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1025673"} {"pmid": "1025672", "title": "Separation of the hepatocyte weight classes by gradient centrifugation [proceedings].", "content": "Separation of the hepatocyte weight classes by gradient centrifugation [proceedings].", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1025672"} {"pmid": "1025674", "title": "Effect of adrenalectomy on the hepatocyte dry mass.", "content": "Effect of adrenalectomy on the hepatocyte dry mass.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1025674"} {"pmid": "1025649", "title": "The problem of infections in acute leukemias.

In comparison to 20 healthy men, age 20 to 30 years, the following changes were noted in the patients: 1) the decrease of the total count of enzyme-negative lymphocytes; 2) the decrease of the total count of lymphocytes with granular type of reaction; 3) the increase of the counts of lymphocytes with granular-diffuse and diffuse type of reaction. The authors suggest that these changes could be related to the immune reaction of specific tumor antigens.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1025803"} {"pmid": "1025833", "title": "The sacco-cerebellar tract of \"Scylliorhynus canicula\" L.

HCG/luteinizing hormone was quantitatively analyzed with Higonavis. The excretion of HCG in the urine began to increase from the 12th day of the high temperature phase in pregnant women and then increased very rapidly.

An integrated mathematic computer-based model of the pharmacokinetics, intracellular enzyme kinetics, and cell kinetics of the treatment of L1210 leukemia by cytosine arabinoside (ara-C) is described. The compartment model of Bischoff and Dedrick is extended to the intracellular level by inclusion of equations describing the phosphorylation, dephosphorylation, and deamination of ara-C with enzymatic feedback control. The activities of kinase, deaminase, and phosphatase are explicitly included in the models and are estimated from relevant data. Cell proliferation is described by a continuous-flow mathematic model in which cellular maturation and cell-to-cell variability in maturation rates are key variables. Cell proliferation is related to intracellular biochemistry through mathematic expressions which relate cell lethality and progression delay to the time course of intracellular ara-CTP. In vitro and in vivo experiments performed in a number of laboratories are compared by simulation. The most sensitive parameters in dose-response and cell-survival simulations are deoxycytidine kinase activity, ara-CTP half-life, renal clearance of ara-C, and cell-kinetic parameters for proliferation and cell killing. Progression delay is vital to the realistic simulation of divided-dose schedules. By comparative simulation we have identified areas of uncertainty which can be classified by a few additional measurements.

Hemopoietic status of the host is an important consideration in any cancer chemotherapy protocol. This paper examines several aspects of the response of the host lymphomyeloid system to tumors transplanted elsewhere: (a) characteristics of host leukocytes migrating into the tumor; (b) leukocyte dynamics in the marrow and the spleen; and (c) dynamics of hemopoietic stem cells. Repeated prelabeling of mice with 3HTdR prior to Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) transplantation indicated a large-scale, selective migration and/or retention of newly formed lymphocytes and monocytes within the tumor. Similar observations were also made in sc transplants of strain-specific TA-3(St) tumor. Bone marrow was found to be a major source of these mononuclear cells since their accumulation was suppressed by a prior irradiation of host marrow. Labeling with 125I-antimouse IgM, with or without prior incubation of cells with anti-theta serum, revealed that, within the 7-day-old EAT, about a third of the small lymphocytes were maturing B cells having readily detectable surface IgM, about a third were T cells expressing theta antigen, and the rest had neither marker, possible including very immature B cells. A high incidence of last cell category was also found in subcutaneous TA-3(St) tumors. Ip transplantation of 10(6) EAT cells into CBA/HT6 or TA-3(St) cells into A/J mice caused a transient decline in femoral marrow leukocyte level (affecting lymphocytes most) followed by a recovery and an overshoot. In contrast, there was a steady rise in splenic weight or cellularity mostly accountable for by lymphocytes. This was partly due to local lymphoid proliferation and partly due to extraneous migration. Parabiosis of CBA with T6 chromosome-bearing CBA/HT6 mice revealed that a large proportion of cells dividing in the spleen of the CBA host after tumor transplantation had migrated recently from blood. Using partial marrow chimeras (repopulated with T6 chromosome-bearing marrow cells), bone marrow was identified as their major source. Furthermore, host spleens showed an increased incidence of small lymphocytes bearing no detectable surface-IgM nor theta antigen (possibly inclusive of immature B cells), and a low incidence of T cells. Tumor transplantation produced a rapid and substantial decline in the pleuripotent stem cell (CFU-S) content of the femoral marrow followed by a recovery. The converse was true for the CFU content of the spleen, and in addition, there was an initial rise in the blood CFU level, suggesting an early CFU traffic from marrow to spleen. A qualitatively similar pattern was also noted for stem cells committed to granulocyte or macrophage development as evaluated from in vitro colony assays. An early rise in splenic CFU level was also elicited by injecting sonicated tumor cells or their plasma membrane fractions, thus possibly indicating an antigen-driven effect. A high level of colony-stimulating activity (for in vitro colony growth) was found in the tumor fluid...", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1026335"} {"pmid": "1026338", "title": "Evidence for recruitment and synchronization in leukemia and solid tumors.", "content": "Evidence for recruitment and synchronization in leukemia and solid tumors. In malignant cell populations which are sensitive to drug therapy it does not seem necessary to potentiate treatment with perturbation of the proliferative characteristics.

Further studies of growth-regulatory mechanisms for malignant cell populations may help a great deal in designing better methods of recruiting the resting cells back into active cell division.

Apart from the critical selection of patients, surgical results in renovascular surgery depend mainly on technical problems. To overcome most frequent technical handicaps, such as a deep abdominal cavity, intervening structures, additional distal stenoses and limited ischemic tolerance time, several technical principles may be recommended. An anterior transperitoneal approach usually ensures an optimal exposure. The 'one-field repair' and the 'partial ex situ repair', include the advantage of excellent exposure and a superficial operating field. Particularly in cases of renal artery stenosis of the fibromuscular type, the routinely performed distal 'run-off control' by mechanical dilatation of the arterial branches, allows a high degree security. As in other fields of surgery, renovascular interventions should be directed to the principle of technical simplicity. Following this surgical concept there is only limited indication for the use of 'total ex situ repair' with heterotopic kidney replantation.

It was concluded that particle size of the resin was a significant parameter which should be taken advantage of in process equipment designed to remove residual monomer from PVC resins. The diffusivity of the monomer in the polymer was a function of the solubility of the monomer in the polymer. Monomer solubility can be determined from Henry's law.

Conventional dose (FC)/mortality curves were obtained, and the amount of fuel required to produce 50% mortality (FC(50)) was calculated. With simple flame ignition, cotton was the only material that produced smoke concentrations lethal to rats; FC(50) values for cotton ranged from 2 g to 9 g, depending on the configuration of the cotton sample burned. When supplemental conductive heat was added to flame ignition, the following FC(50) values were obtained; nylon, 7 g; acrylic, 8 g; newsprint, 9 g; cotton, 10 g; and wood, 11 g.

Data were obtained in a large multinational corporation from managers and their families who were undergoing three different kinds of organizational stress: international transfer, extensive travel, and job change to facilitator of personal and organizational change. The findings give reason for viewing organization and family as interacting systems and for considering the uniqueness of each individual's response to stressful events.

Growing interest in concepts of fusion and individuation within a number of different theoretical systems of psychotherapy suggests an emerging shift in perspective in the conceptualization of psychopathology and psychotherapy. This shift may represent a first step in the integration of individual and relational dynamic theories. A theoretical framework for the exploration of processes of fusion and individuation is presented, with suggested applications for the study of problems experienced by adult couples. The process of individuation from fusion to dialogue is outlined in the description of four modes of relationship. In this context, the paper suggests ways in which a variety of problematic relational patterns seen in couples may be viewed as reflecting the partners' struggles to move from fusion to dialogue.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1026435"} {"pmid": "1026436", "title": "Family therapy in treatment of the deaf: a case report.", "content": "Family therapy in treatment of the deaf: a case report. Deaf patients with psychological problems have developmental handicaps and clinical characteristics that reduce the effectiveness of traditional modes of psychotherapy. Attempts have been made to utilize individual and group therapy, but family therapy has been largely overlooked as a method of alleviating problems of the deaf. Clinical and research writings provide us with rich insights into the family dynamics of the deaf. These data suggest to the authors that the problems of deaf individuals are largely related to family problems, and therefore merit a family orientation as the focus for treatment. This paper describes an attempt to apply family therapy with a range of deaf patients over a period of two years.

This paper describes a model of treatment for families in which one child has been given the diagnosis of schizophrenia. Male and female therapists adopt structured roles that are used as a paradigm for exploring family patterns. The paradigm employs a three-generational hypothesis that defines schizophrenia as a lifelong, restricting mode of relating, involving the primary family triad, that makes the child vulnerable to repeated psychotic episodes. Therapy is directed at the difficulties of autonomous development within the family by focusing on differentiating the relationship between nuclear and extended family members, expecially defining and strengthening generational and sexual boundaries. The second focus of therapy is on the resolution of issues of separation and loss, with attention to unresolved mourning in the family of origin and the concomitant stress in giving up the infantile relationship with the index child in the nuclear family. Stages of therapy will be described including: (a) initiation of therapy, (b) breaking of fusion, (c) repair of alienation, and (d) solidifying the marital alliance and generational boundaries.

If adults are able to go back to deal directly with past and present issues with their families or origin, an opportunity exists for reconstructive changes to come about in their present family.

After the family agreed on a response, each member was asked to write the response on a separate sheet of paper.

A system was developed to score the responses based on the degree of shared meaning achieved by the family. Adequate interscorer reliability was obtained. The scores significantly differentiated the three groups. More families of schizophrenics had low scores indicating lack of shared meaning than families of hospitalized and normal controls.

The primary question we addressed was whether changes in marital interaction could be amply detected and whether these changes could be attributed to the particular role shift that had occurred in one spouse--from \"patient\" to \"nonpatient.\" Utilizing a technique called Interaction Testing, which the senior authors devised in 1960, we found that such alterations in marital interaction do indeed arise when one member of the couple moves out of a patient role and that our instrument is useful in elucidating the nature of such effects. In addition, it can be expected that a study of this kind will be of theoretical and methodological value in dealing with the general issues of problem-solving interaction in couples and families.

The dynamics of owning and disowning one's inner life have both intrapsychic and transactional or interpersonal dimensions. Freud opened new vistas on our inner world using psycoanalysis as a tool. Although not unaware of the effects of family members upon each other, Freud's rejection of the seduction theory of neurosis in 1897 fatefully influenced the future course of psychoanalysis, placing the primary focus on intrapsychic relations. Until today, it has remained the task-perhaps the principal one--of psychoanalytic theorists to do justice to the interpersonal and family realm that Freud neglected, without sacrificing the enormous insights we owe to Freud. Three conditions for successful inner ownership are described: a capacity for self-object differentiation; tolerance of ambivalence; and a sense of physical integrity, of having a cohesive, nuclear ego. The pathology of inner ownership is related to a pathology of interpersonal ownership as transacted on the family level.

Depletion of hepatic glutathione may also lead to other contributory disorders of cellular metabolism. Physical methods of preventing this would appear to be of little value, and treatments are being developed which aim to lessen the production of the toxic metabolite, antagonize its attachment to hepatic tissue or to combat this toxicity via basic cellular mechanisms.

This paper summarises the experience gained through extensive surveys of school children carried out in Greater Bombay over the past five years. The strikingly high proportion of children of 6 to 14 years age group suffering from leprosy attending the Acworth Leprosy Hospital and its peripheral clinic prompted these surveys. While surveys of 10% of child population attending randomly selected municipal schools revealed a general prevalence rate of 3 per 1000, there existed pockets of endemicity of the order of 10.8 per 1000, in some schools situated in the northern suburbs of the city. Even private schools catering to the not-so-poor sections of the community showed prevalence rates of over 6 per 1000, confirming the hyperendemicity of leprosy in Bombay city, with no socioeconomic or age group immune from exposure. Clinical observations of 1265 leprosy cases identified in the course of the above surveys covering a total population of nearly 1.8 lakhs of school children are presented. 24.7% of the cases had either the potential to develop into progressive forms of leprosy in view of the multiplicity of lesions or were already in an advanced stage of the disease. Polyneuritic leprosy together with intermediate and lepromatous types representing 5.8% of all cases (24 cases were confirmed to be smear positive) belonged to the groups posing therapeutic as well as public health problems. Analysis of 953 cases with single lesions revealed greater frequency of distribution (58.4%) of patches in parts of the body which are generally covered. It is striking that 26.4% of the solitary lesions was found in the gluteal regions and thighs, emphasising the need for thorough examinations of these parts during surveys.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1026800"} {"pmid": "1026801", "title": "Inactivation and relapse in bacterio-negative cases of leprosy under sulphone therapy: a 4 1/2 years follow-up.", "content": "Inactivation and relapse in bacterio-negative cases of leprosy under sulphone therapy: a 4 1/2 years follow-up.

The common side effect in all cases consisted of red and dark skin pigmentation of varying intensity occuring within 10 weeks of the commencement of therapy. The intensity of the colour was proportionate to the density of the infiltration. Ichthyosis occurred in 66.6% of cases. While the pigmentation was accepted by the patients in general, 10% of the patients considered ichthyosis as stigmatising. While side effects like anorexia, diarrhoea, enlargement of lymph glands and liver, corneal xerosis and loss of weight were self correcting, severe gastrointestinal manifestation, i.e. severe abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea were observed in 9 patients, 5 of whom were females. Mortality was high in the females. On an incidental finding the Isonizair reduced the severity of the manifestations, it was supplemented in 10 cases on Clofazimine therapy and was found to minimise the side effects and the pigmentation due to Clofazimine.

A project for total leprosy case detection particularly early leprosy cases was undertaken in Wardha District which has a rural population of about 6 lacs in 905 villages, through an integrated survey with the help of all health workers like Leprosy Technicians, Sanitary Inspectors, Co-ordinators, Malaria Workers, Smallpox Vaccinators and Auxillary Nurse Midwives. The training given to the Non Leprosy Health Worker was for a period of 3 days making them just fit to suspect all leprosy cases. The final diagnosis was to be made by the fully trained Leprosy Technicians. The surveys were conducted in batches of 3 to 4 workers. Surveys were conducted for 4 weeks at a stretch and working for 5 days every week. Every year two such integrated surveys were conducted. From November 1973 to December 1975, four such surveys were undertaken. During the other period, Leprosy Technicians were conducting the normal surveys. It was found that through these integrated survey it is possible to undertake the survey of all the villages once in two years and the case detection rate at the end of the 4th survey was found to be 85.5% of the estimated cases in the rural areas. Normally, it would have taken about 5 years to complete the survey of all the villages by the Leprosy Technicians alone, and the case detection rate could not have been more than 70 to 75%. Through this programme, Leprosy patients in every early stages have been detected.

Levels of activity of the enzyme aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase and cytochrome P450 have been estimated in lung and liver of rats exposed to graded doses of cigarette smoke and in human bronchial mucosa of smokers, non-smokers and patients with lung cancer. Exposure of rats to smoke of four cigarettes increased both hepatic and pulmonary aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity. Exposure to smoke of four cigarettes daily for seven and 14 days did not result in higher aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase levels in the liver than one day's exposure, but in the lung longer exposures caused greater increases in enzyme activity. Injection of benzo(a)pyrene at two dose levels caused a much greater increase in both liver and lung aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase than smoking. The lower dose maximally stimulated the enzyme in both organs. The changes in aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity were accompanied by significant increases in both liver weight and the cytochrome P450 content of liver microsomes but the increase in cytochrome P450 did not parallel those in aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity. Of 40 surgical and autopsy specimens of human lung and tracheal mucosa from smokers, non-smokers and cancer patients, only one was found to have detectable aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity.

This phenomenon is probably related to advances in neonatal intensive care. The radiographic pattern of \"pure\" pulmonary hemorrhage in the newborn is most commonly a diffuse alveolar infiltrate.

The breathing pattern in IRDS has been analysed by sound recording, direct laryngoscopy and chest X-rays. The reflex mechanism operative in IRDS was found to be a modified version of the Hering-Breuer reflex; in a certain phase of inspiration the respiratory muscles relax and passive expiration begins. In IRDS, at the end of the short inspiratory phase accompanied by grunting the glottis is suddenly closed, and collapse of the alveolar space is prevented. The small opening of the glottis before the next inspiration serves the same purpose, and the air passing through it is heard as grunting. As soon as the alveolar space is emptied, the glottis becomes wide open and a quick inspiration follows. The modified Hering-Breure reflex increases the respiratory tract pressure and thus prevents collapse of the alveolar space. When the newborn is no longer capable of the excess extra work required for grunting, the decompensated phase of IRDS sets in. Gas exchange rapidly deteriorates and the white lung pattern is visible on the chest X-ray.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027320"} {"pmid": "1027317", "title": "Trace elements in the serum of mothers and their children.", "content": "Trace elements in the serum of mothers and their children. The serum copper, zinc and iron levels, iron binding capacity and coeruloplasmin activity were determined in 28 maternal and cord bloods and in 50 infants and children. At the end of the gestation period the serum copper level increased, iron concentration remained unchanged while the level of zinc decreased significantly as compared to the values for healthy, non-pregnant women. Iron and zinc concentrations at birth were significantly higher in the newborn than in the mother, whereas the copper level amounted only to 20% of the maternal value. Subsequently, the copper level increased to reach the lower limit of healthy adults in the first to second year of life. The remarkably high neonatal zinc concentration fell significantly in the first 2 to 4 weeks of life and decreases to the normal adult level at one year of age. The changes in the trace element concentrations may be due to quantitative differences in the transporting proteins, variations in placental permeability and in the function of transfer proteins.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027317"} {"pmid": "1027318", "title": "Immunoglobulin E in the sera of infants and children.", "content": "Immunoglobulin E in the sera of infants and children.

While a normal serum ultrafiltrate caused an enhanced contraction of the umbilical artery, hypoxic sera exerted a weaker pressor activity.

Altogether 17 individual amino acids were determined before and during glucagon infusion in normoglycaemic and hypoglycaemic SGA infants. The magnitude and time course of the response in total plasma amino acids to glucagon infusion (0.2 microng/kg/min for four hours) differed in the two groups: while in the normoglycaemic SGA infants a significant hypoaminoacidaemia was noted by the second hour of glucagon infusion, in the hypoglycaemic newborns no appreciable changes were observed. In the former group altogether twelve amino acids showed a progressive and significant decline. The fall of three important gluconeogenic amino acids alanine, glycine,proline, and that of three branched chain amino acids was particularly striking. In contrast, in the hypoglycaemic infants the amino acids were not significantly affected by glucagon infusion. This unresponsiveness of plasma amino acids was probably transient as judged from the moderate hypoaminoacidaemia noted by the end of the infusion period.

Control of the water as to its hygienic quality should be by regular and frequent analysis of samples of the water and the air at various points in the process and in the factory. A new problem that has arisen and has to be faced in this situation is the risk of contamination by certain materials in contact with the water that may contain substances that encourage the growth of saprophytic bacteria which would contaminate by the production of taste, odour, discolouration, cloudiness and definite evidence of microbial growth.

The results of the present study have demonstrated that hydatid cysts are able to survive when experimentally punctured in vitro or in vivo.

Prolonged allograft survival can also be achieved by the treatment of donor animals with cyclophosphamide prior to harvesting tissues for transplantation. These allografts do not survive as well as 26 day cultured allografts, but cyclophosphamide pretreatment reduces the culture time required to achieve indefinite survival to 7 days. The provision of an allogeneic (LD) stimulus by thyroid tissue that is I-region incompatible with the host does not facilitate the rejection of a tolerated cultured allograft. However, activation of the host immune system by an uncultured graft syngeneic to a tolerated cultured allograft leads to the chronic rejection of the cultured transplant. The transfer of a tolerated cultured allograft back to its strain of origin induces an acute inflammatory reaction that causes tissue damage within the transplant but does not lead to the total destruction of the tissue.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027412"} {"pmid": "1027413", "title": "Studies on the transfer of plasma iron to milk in the lactating rat.", "content": "Studies on the transfer of plasma iron to milk in the lactating rat.

In the pale green tissues the thylakoids have markedly swollen membranes. Another feature of the plastids exposed to continuous illumination is the heavy accumulation of starch. The japonica-2 chloroplasts show a different sensitivity to light, the chloroplasts of the pale green tissues being affected more markedly than the ones of the dark green tissues, and the bundle sheath chloroplasts more than those of the mesophyll.

The results show that the newborns' cord blood response is significantly higher to PHA when compared with the respective adults' response. No significant difference was observed between the women taking oral contraceptives and their respective controls. After delivery, 10 ml of blood was collected from mothers and 5 ml of cord blood from their babies. Micro- and macromethods were used in setting up the blood cultures for chromosome preparations and mitotic indices. Details of methods used are given. The differences in mitotic indices in both blood culture methods between the mothers and newborns were statistically significant (.02 p .01). Dividing cells were obtained from all microcultures from newborn infants. Some cultures from mothers were not readable. Mitotic indices of 70 test mothers who had taken oral contraceptives and their babies were similar. There was no depression of the phytohemagglutinin (PHA) response by the mothers who had used oral contraceptives previously or by their offspring. Cord blood gave a higher response to PHA than did adult venous blood.

The specificity of PEF interaction with target erythrocytes and the persistence of its stimulatory effect after the target cells are washed suggest that it promotes phagocytosis by an action on the erythrocytes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027715"} {"pmid": "1027716", "title": "A lipid chemotactic factor from anaerobic coryneform bacteria including Corynebacterium parvum with activity for macrophages and monocytes.", "content": "A lipid chemotactic factor from anaerobic coryneform bacteria including Corynebacterium parvum with activity for macrophages and monocytes. A lipid with chemoattractant (chemotactic) activity for mouse and guinea-pig macrophages and for human blood monocytes is released by anaerobic coryneform bacteria (including Corynebacterium parvum). The active lipid is associated with fibrillar structures which lie on the outside of the bacterial cell and are released spontaneously during growth. The lipid can also be extracted easily by a number of methods. The fibrils are loosely associated with a capsule-like structure composed largely of polysaccharide. Purification of the active lipid was achieved by chloroform-methanol extraction of the whole organisms yielding a chloroform-soluble fraction attracting mononuclear phagocytes at concentrations around 10 microgram/ml. The infra-red spectrum of this material showed lipid but no peptide or sugar. Thin-layer chromatography yielded twelve spots of which three had chemoattractant properties. The most active of these gave staining reactions consistent with the presence of phospholipid, the other two probably contained free fatty acids and triglycerides. Thin-layer electrophoresis also yielded an active phosphorus-containing spot. Saturated fatty acids of chain lengths found in the anaerobic coryne forms had weak monocyte-attractant activity.

The quantitative effect of CY on peripheral blood leucocytes was assessed by measuring the absolute numbers of neutrophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes daily for 5 days following the initial injection of CY. The qualitative effects of CY on PMN function were determined by measuring the ability of these cells to function as killer cells. The two functional assays employed were the PMN-mediated PHA-induced cellular cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) assays against chicken erythrocyte targets. Both regimens of CY administration produced an equivalent degree of leukopenia 5 days after the initial injection with disproportionately severe neutropenia (less than 300 PMN/mm3). However, neither regimen of CY administration produced a significant decrease in cytotoxic effector function as measured through a wide range of effector to target cell ratios, PHA concentrations, and antiserum dilutions. These findings have clinical relevance in that they demonstrate the dichotomy between the quantitative and qualitative effects of (CY) on PMNs in that CY administration can dramatically decrease the absolute numbers of circulating polymorphonuclear leucocytes while leaving intact certain effector cell functional capabilities of those PMN surviving in the circulation during drug administration.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027718"} {"pmid": "1027719", "title": "Reaction of an activated complex of guinea-pig complement components, C56, with unsensitized erythrocytes and with erythrocytes carrying C3b molecule.", "content": "Reaction of an activated complex of guinea-pig complement components, C56, with unsensitized erythrocytes and with erythrocytes carrying C3b molecule. During the interaction of guinea-pig complement intermediate cells, EAC423, with guinea-pig C5 and C6, an activated complex of C5 and C6, C56, was demonstrated in the fluid phase of the reaction mixture. C56 also was eluted from EAC42356 which had been generated by the interaction of EAC423 with C5 and C6. Both preparations of C56 showed quite similar characteristics and were not distinguished from one another. Both were capable of reacting with unsensitized erythrocytes (E) in the presence of C7 to form EC567. Further, they were able to react with EAC43 in the absence of C7 to form EAC43568 but did react with EAC43 pretreated with C3b inactivator, dithiothreitol or N-bromosuccinimide. These results indicate that guinea-pig C56 generated on EAC423 has a tendency to dissociate into the fluid phase. Nevertheless, the dissociated C56 can bind again to intact C3b molecule on the cells. The ability of cell-bound C3b to combine with C56 may lead to localization of C56 to the cell membrane carrying C3b, resulting in acceleration of attachment of C567 to the membrane. This assumption could be supported by the finding that the replacement of E by EAC43 increased the susceptibility of the cells to lytic action of complement induced by cobra venom factor. Thus, a new function of cell-bound C3b as localizing C56 to the membrane of sensitized cells was indicated.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027719"} {"pmid": "1027720", "title": "Local immunity in the respiratory tract of the chicken.

This study focuses on the optometrist who chooses a rural practice location and on ways in which the rural optometrist differs from the non-rural optometrist. One hundred sixty optometrists practicing in rural locations in ten states answered questions about their background, mode of optometric practice, attitude toward the environment, interests, and personality traits. Rural optometrists were found to differ from other optometrists in their rural origin, their strong liking for the people and life style of the rural community, and their interest in outdoor pursuits. Community recognition as a health professional, rapid practice growth, professional independence, and the opportunity for community leadership were seen by the rural optometrist as major advantages of rural optometric practice.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027772"} {"pmid": "1027742", "title": "Notes from NYC's fiscal crisis: North Central Bronx Hospital fiasco.", "content": "Notes from NYC's fiscal crisis: North Central Bronx Hospital fiasco.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027742"} {"pmid": "1027729", "title": "Preservation of Jersey bull semen at ambient temperature in Russian dilutor.", "content": "Preservation of Jersey bull semen at ambient temperature in Russian dilutor.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027729"} {"pmid": "1027774", "title": "The fear of extinction.", "content": "The fear of extinction.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027774"} {"pmid": "1027741", "title": "Ford-Carter checklist on health issues.", "content": "Ford-Carter checklist on health issues.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027741"} {"pmid": "1027778", "title": "Optometry and NHI--where are we going.", "content": "Optometry and NHI--where are we going.

The role of edge mode failures in drop ball testing of ophthalmic lenses was investigated. The relative effects of lens shape and type of edging operation were determined by comparing the impact performance of groups of lenses. Strain gages were mounted on the edges of several lenses to determine the applied tensile stresses. The results were reviewed in the context of the flaw distribution theory. As expected, more breadage was observed for those edging processes which introduce more severe flaws and for those lens shapes for which higher edge stresses were measured. It was also observed that the search theory of impact testing is applicable for edge flaws as well as for surface flaws (a lens sustains many impacts before it fractures; the ball is searching for a weak spot on the lens).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1027865"} {"pmid": "1027866", "title": "A model study of facial injury caused by impact while wearing an ophthalmic frame.", "content": "A model study of facial injury caused by impact while wearing an ophthalmic frame.

All the giant phage capsids have been shown to be built according to the same geometrical architecture. This consists of a near-hexagonal surface net, lattice constant 129.5 A, folded into a left-handed T = 13 prolate icosahedron elongated along one of its fivefold symmetry axes. Their only apparent difference from wild-type T-even phage capsids is their abnormally elongated tubular part. A comparison of the capsomere morphologies and protein compositions of the giant phage capsids showed that all T4D giants are identical but differ from T2L: The T4D capsomere has a complex (6 + 6 + 1)-type morphology, whereas the T2L has a simple 6-type. T2L phage, however, lack two capsid proteins, \"soc\" and \"hoc\", present in T4D. The difference in capsomere morphology can therefore be related to the difference in the protein compositions of these two phage.

RNase alters the in vitro assembly of spindle asters in homogenates of meiotically dividing surf clam (Spisula solidissima) oocytes. Some effects of RNase, such as reduced astral fiber length, appear nonenzymatic and probably result from RNase binding to tubulin. However, RNase-induced changes in the microtubule organizing center are also observed. Since other polycations can mimic RNase effects, the existence of an RNA component of the spindle organizing center remains uncertain. Effects of RNase and other polycations on astral fiber length can be prevented and reversed by the RNase inhibitor, polyguanylic acid. Polyguanylic acid can also augment astral fiber length in the absence of added RNase or other polycations. Augmentation by polyguanylic acid is favored by high ionic strength, and can be duplicated by polyuridylic acid and, with less efficiency, by polyadenylic acid. Polycytidylic acid and unfractionated yeast RNA, however, are unable to augment aster assembly. Polyguanylic acid can also augment the length of astral fibers on complete spindles isolated under polymerizing conditions. These results demonstrate that specific polyribonucleotides can alter spindle assembly in vitro.

A comparison of the results of electrometric and chemical analysis has shown that the proportions of bound K ions as percentages of the total amounts of these ions are 36.4 in the endolymphatic jelly, 39.6 in the ampullar jelly, and 21.9 in the liquid of the lateral canals. The amount of Ca ions in the media investigated is 3.6-4.4 meq/liter and is close to the concentration of these ions in sea water--3.4 meq/liter. In the endolymphatic jelly the amount of glycosaminoglycans is 0.30+/-0.022% of the wet weight, in the liquid of the lateral canals 0.21+/-0.026%, and in the jelly of the ampullae of Lorenzini 2.79+/-0.28%.

The results showed that in early infancy it is possible to distinguish the basic stages of slow sleep and the stage of fast sleep, although the electroencephalographic experssion of these stages in infants has special features of its own. The age dynamics of the polygraphic picture of sleep shows that the electroencephalographic, autonomic, and motor components of sleep, although clearly coordinated in the various stages, have at the same time considerable autonomy.

It has been found that the specific (burst) activity of the neurons of the septum appears first on the 8th-11th day of the background of the action of eserine. The distinct bimodal nature of the histograms of the interimpulse intervals characteristic of the burst sequence of distribution of the potentials appears only from an age of 14 days.

A parallel evolution of the impulse activity of the cells of the medial region of the septum and the synchronized activity of the hippocampus in ontogenesis is traced.

In behavioral experiments with a Y labyrinth it was shown that phonotaxis in the female crickets in respect to the calling signals (CS) of the males depends on the spectrum of the signal. The necessary and sufficient condition for development of normal phonotaxis is the preservation of the first, low-frequenct (LF) component of the spectrum (5kHz). Signals with a time pattern identical to that of a CS but with a spectrum containing only the high-frequency (HF) component (12.5 kHz) do not evoke phonotaxis. HF signals in the frequency-range 10-40 kHz evoke negative phonotaxis in females under conditions of \"tethered flight\". In the auditory system of the crickets, beginning with the tympanal organ, there is a clear separation of the elements effecting LF and HF signals. Two types of ascending interneurons transmitting acoustic information from the primary auditory center to the brain are described in detail. The first is connected primarily with LF receptors and transmits clearly all the time-dependent characteristics of the CS most important for recognition. The second apparently participates in the production of negative phonotaxis. It is connected primarily with HF receptors, has considerable after-effect and also raises sensitivity to sounds of low intensity, emphasizes the initial moment in the effect of a stimulus, and \"habituates\" rapidly to repeated stimulations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1028002"} {"pmid": "1028001", "title": "Effect of a unilateral cortical lesion on the monoamine content in the cat brain.", "content": "Effect of a unilateral cortical lesion on the monoamine content in the cat brain.

Centrally elicited aversive reaction thresholds were in all cases based on unconditioned behavioral distress signs (non-stereotyped, escape-like movements, vocalization, freezing, excretion, etc.) and confirmed in some cases with avoidance learning. Morphine (10 mg/kg) elevated the unconditioned aversive reaction threshold for brain stimulation in the trigeminal complex and for peripheral aversive stimulation, but failed to affect the thresholds for reticular brain stimulation. The failure to affect reticular thresholds was independent of stimulation frequency. Thresholds for 5 and 200 Hz sinusoidal stimulation were both unaffected as were previously reported thresholds with 333 Hz pulsatile stimulation.

No alterations in the perception of pain intensity, either by acupunctural stimulation or suggestion, could be detected at any time during the experiment, but stimulation of the correct points produced a significant analgesic reduction in aversiveness which was specific to the arm so stimulated, overcame the counter-suggestion of sensitization, and persisted after stimulation was discontinued.

Fertility trend analysis is effected by polynomial regression formulae. Puerto Rican data from 1946 to 1970 were used to test the proposed model. Analysis of the data indicated that emigration between 1940-1962 had little effect on national fertility.

At the permissive temperature (36.5 degrees C), erythrocyte nuclei in heterokaryons enlarged, the chromatin dispersed, and erythrocyte nuclei synthesized DNA at about the same time as the K12 nuclei.

The technique of scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) has been employed usefully in studies of amorphous materials, and the theory of image formation and interpretation in this case has been well developed. Less attention has been given to the practical and theoretical problems associated with the use of STEM for the examination of crystalline materials. In this case the contrast mechanisms are dominated by Bragg diffraction and so they are quite different from those occurring in amorphous substances. In this paper practical techniques for the observation and interpretation of contrast from defects in crystalline materials are discussed. It is shown that whilst images of defects are obtained readily under all typical STEM operating conditions, the form of the image and the information it contains varies with the angle subtended at the specimen by the detector. If this angle is too large significant image modifications relative to the \"conventional\" transmission electron microscope case may occur and the resolution of the image may degrade. If this angle is too small, then signal to noise considerations make an interpretation of the image difficult.

Focus is on the diethylstilbestrol (DES) litigation which has resulted from the 1971 discovery that this synthetic estrogen can cause cancer in the daughters of women who used the drug during pregnancy in an effort to prevent threatened abortion. Possibly 100 suits are pending at this time in which DES daughters claim injuries. In most of these vaginal or cervical cancer has appeared -- with or without a hysterectomy having been performed. Several women died from cancer. The fact that the use of DES occurred many years ago is the legal hurdle most troublesome to lawyers. The average women coming to a lawyer's office today has a mother who used some form of DES, perhaps in 1955. Few drugstores have records today of the prescriptions which they filled 20 years ago. It has been estimated that over the 1950-1970 period more than 200 different companies manufactured or \"tabletized\" under their own name DES plus a variety of similar synthetic estrogens promoted for the prevention of threatened abortion. A further hurdle caused by the passage of time is that even the records of the physicians are frequently lost. A final problem created by the age of the cases is statute of limitations. If the actual manufacturer of the DES cannot be identified, this is generally the end of the lawyer's interest in the case. The chance of the plaintiff winning may be increased if the action against all the manufacturers is a class action. Most of the pending DES suits are against the manufacturer and not against the doctor. Thus far no DES case has been tried to completion. Several have been settled by the manufacturers on the eve of the trial, generally for less than the full sum that a cancer victim would expect to receive.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1028312"} {"pmid": "1028328", "title": "Seasonal reproductive periodicity and thyroid fluctuations in female Indian palm squirrel, Funambulus pennanti.", "content": "Seasonal reproductive periodicity and thyroid fluctuations in female Indian palm squirrel, Funambulus pennanti. Seasonal reproductive rhythmicity and concomitant thyroid fluctuations have been studied in the female Indian palm squirrel, Funambulus pennanti. The majority of the squirrels enter estrus during March and April when ovarian follicles attain maximum diameter. Ovulation starts in April and continues till June. A large number of degenerating follicles, indicating decline in ovarian functions, is a characteristic feature of the ovary in August. Minimum percent thyroid 131I uptake is recorded during May and June, i.e. at the onset of mating season. In July, which also marked the gestation period in the majority of the squirrels dissected, thyroid activity significantly increases. Gonadal regression begins in August and this is accompanied by corresponding fall in the thyroid 131I uptake. Alterations in thyroid cytoarchitecture during different months of the year are in accordance with the results obtained from radioiodine uptake studies. Fluctuations in thyroid functions during gonadal regression, recrudescence and peak gonadal activity are discussed in the present communication.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1028328"} {"pmid": "1028325", "title": "Estimation of the Ca2+ binding by microsomal membranes from pig coronary artery using a calcium ion selective electrode.", "content": "Estimation of the Ca2+ binding by microsomal membranes from pig coronary artery using a calcium ion selective electrode.

However, it is possible that another plant food, combretum, could have some propensities as a deparasitant.

The passive immunity suppresses the primary serum antibody response normally observed after vaccination with the Thiverval strain of S.F.V. This inhibition is either partial or complete depending on the amount of injected antibodies. Whatsoever the passive immunity intensity, a priming occurred (even in absence of any detectable primary response). This priming was evidenced by the clinical signs and the type of immune response following a virulent challenge. Two vaccination routes were tested: intramuscular and intranasal: 48 pigs were checked and no significant differences established, concerning protective efficiency.

When the tibial arterial pressure was 100 mm Hg. at an initial venous pressure of 5 mm Hg, the isofiltration capillary pressure averaged 12.8 mm Hg, the ratio of pre-to post-capillary resistance 9.9. The precapillary resistance accounted for 90.8% of the total vascular resistance.

Results of these studies coupled with the significant recent increase in the incidence of cancer in women over 50 who are in the high socioeconomic groups--the groups most likely to use estrogen therapy--emphasize the association. The U.S. FDA has proposed a modification in the labeling for estrogens, and a package insert for patients which would warn of possible hazards of estrogen therapy. It is recommended that estrogen be used only for vasomotor symptoms and vaginal atrophy. The lowest possible effective dosage should be used and for the shortest possible amount of time. Earlier studies had suggested that estrogen replacement therapy might protect against breast cancer; most recent studies suggest the opposite. In addition, estrogen may trigger high blood pressure and increase some blood clotting. Women with high blood pressure or a family history of early heart attacks are contraindicated from using estrogen therapy. Even for the treatment of osteoporosis, there may be safer alternative therapies.

We used scintiphotographic method to demonstrate the blood volume change in the lung subsequent to the hemodynamic events that cause PEH. A specific isotope, Indium-113m, was chosen for this purpose. The isotope forms large molecular, complex with plasma transferrin (molecular weight of roughly 90,000). It is evenly distributed inside the intravascular space. Normally, the lung showed little radioactivity. After cerebral compression or intravenous norepinephrine, a marked increase in radioactivity of the lung was evident. This indicates an accumulation of blood volume in that area. All the animals developed severe PEH which was proved postmortemly. Findings of the present as well as the previous studies agree with each other and indicate that either cerebral compression or norephinephrine elicits generalized systemic vasoconstriction, causing a shift of large amount of blood into the lung. The hemodynamic changes finally result in pulmonary hypertension and subsequent PEH. The scintiphostographic method may be employed as diagnostic tool when a hypervolemic lung change is suspected.

The results showed the effect to depend primarily on the dose of the drug administered; acute and prolonged treatments produce coagulation defects different in type. The effect of a single large dose is characterized by a severe disturbance of thrombin formation: Prothrombin activity is decreased, PTT is prolonged, native blood does not coagulate but may be coagulated with thrombin, and its fibrinogen content is high. The effect cannot be regarded as a result of the liver injury. On giving La in repeated smaller doses, a disturbance of intrinsic thromboplastin (or thrombin) formation develops, as indicated by a decrease in prothrombin consumption.

The interrelationship between arginine and calcium in glucagon release was studied using the in vitro perfused rat pancreas. In the presence of a normal 2 mM calcium concentration, 10 mM arginine provoked biphasic glucagon release, the amplitude of such a response being inversely related to the glucose concentration of the perfusate. At the lowest 3.3 mM glucose concentration, and after prolonged (40 min) as well as short (10 min) periods of calcium deprivation, arginine-induced glucagon release was inhibited. These results clearly indicate that calcium is necessary for either the recognition or effectiveness of arginine as a stimulus to the alpha-cell. Taking into account this, as well as other data presently available in the literature, it is suggested that calcium plays a versatile role - permissive, inhibitory and stimulatory - in glucagon secretion.

It was found that enzyme activity, when expressed per unit of protein or wet tissue weight, in both parts of the brain decreased with age, the diminution proceeding more rapidly in the cerebellum than in the hemispheres. When CTP synthetase was expressed on the basis of DNA an activity peak in the hemispheres with a maximum on the 5th day after birth was observed. The enzyme content per cell was several times lower in the cerebellum than in the hemispheres at each age studied, with the exception of 1-day-old animals, in which both tissues displayed similar activity. The results obtained were compared with literature data for the intensity of RNA synthesis in the developing brain. The conclusion was reached that the changes of CTP synthetase activity were closely related to the RNA metabolism.

Colchicine-binding protein concentration of particulate fractions, on the other hand, increased between 4 and 12 days of age followed by relatively little change. The concentration of tubulin in the soluble and particulate fractions of the cerebral cortex was 45% and 75% greater, respectively, than corresponding fractions of the cerebellum. The expression of tubulin on the basis of DNA, revealed marked regional differences which can be considered a reflection of differences in the relative extent of morphological differentiation in these areas during the postnatal period. Tubulin in both soluble and particulate fractions exhibited a marked increase in lability for colchicine binding from approximately 12 days of age. The half-life for loss of colchicine-binding activity was 2,5-fold greater in particulate compared to soluble fractions.

Observations made in this paper are based on work with a group of lower-class French-speaking North Africans receiving treatment at a Community Mental Health Centre in Jaffo. Experience with this group revealed a fundamental disparity between patients' and therapists' expectations from therapy. Patients generally expect tangible, quick relief and regard themselves as passive recipients of a procedure: therapists hope for some form of participation on the patients' part and view treatment as a slow process. Patients' expectations appeared to derive from basic features of their personalities. It is hypothesized that members of this group are 'psychologically undifferentiated': thus, among other things, they have poorly-developed identities, lack self-direction and stereotype themselves as subordinate beings, acted upon by authority figures. The present approach differs from the usual attitude adopted towards patients of this kind since it argues that it is possible to foster independence amongst them. It is proposed that this can be done only if the patient is regarded as an active participant in the therapeutic experience and if one uses the clinical situation as a fundamental learning experience.

However, population growth in Thailand is about 3.4% annually, one of the highest rates in Asia. The findings that women, particularly younger women, are in favor of family planning is offset by lack of knowledge and fears of side effects. The psychological approach to the prediction of contraceptive behavior, as studied at the Carolina Population Center, shows that, regardless of the method of measurement, intention always emerged with the highest coefficient in discriminating contraceptive users from nonusers. Emotional barriers have been considered 1 of the significant factors in contraceptive use, especially excessive dependency needs and passive-aggressive character. Unwanted pregnancy can also contribute to poor mental health.

Overpopulation with its identifiable and noxious results, is probably the most ominous and potentially destructive condition existing in current world society. The etiology of this problem includes the failure of mankind to develop compatible interrelationships between members of his own family, clan, society, and world population. The author predicts that all efforts to achieve world population control will be essentially ineffective unless the insights of the holistically oriented science of social psychiatry are refined into principles and rules which direct population control endeavors. This paper reviews the extent and severity of the problem and stresses the need for the operational implementation of the value systems and methodologies of social psychiatry. The author believes that effective population control is possible if the actions of world leaders are directed toward efforts to achieve satisfaction of the basic (Ur) needs of all individuals and groups for physical survival, socialization, and transcendence. In all societies it has been easier for richer than poorer people to implement population control measures whether these measures be abortion, foundling home placement, or more modern methods of contraception. Population among the poor has been limited primarily by malnutrition, illness, and death. This surplus of population among poor nations and poor people within a nation is a basic problem which must be considered by social psychiatry. This phenomena is believed the result of lack of satisfaction of basic \"Ur\" needs - deep-seated needs for health and longevity, an equally deep desire for human friendships and alliances, and a search for significance. If the society does not provide means for friendship and significance other than one's family, then large numbers of children will be born. Until governments and concerned social scientists develop other forms for expression of these deep needs, overpopulation will be a problem.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1028900"} {"pmid": "1028901", "title": "Bad tidings and the hospitalized patient.", "content": "Bad tidings and the hospitalized patient.

Both parameters were low in the late afternoon and the evening and high in the early morning. Hypothalamic activation slightly preceded the peak o corticosteronemia. Conversely, in hippocampal (H) and septal (S) regions, the peak of MUA occurred in phase opposition with respect to the hypothalamic peak, and there was a marked decrease of firing rates at the moment when adrenocorticotropic activation was initiated.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1028947"} {"pmid": "1028950", "title": "Autoradiographic localization of estradiol-concentrating cells in the female hamster brain.", "content": "Autoradiographic localization of estradiol-concentrating cells in the female hamster brain.

Weanling Sprague-Dawley rats received bilateral anodic electrolytic lesions with platinum-iridium (PtIr) electrodes in the ventromedial (VMN) and dorsomedial (DMN) hypothalamic areas. Sham-operated rats served as controls. The rats were maintained for 48 days (experiment 1) and 33 days (experiment 2) and food intake, body weight (b.w.), nose-tail length and obesity index were recorded. The data of both experiments indicate that all parameters change in the same direction, as they do when lesions are produced with anodic stainless steel electrodes: in the VMN-P-lesioned animals, b.w. gains and overall mean food intake were normal, carcass fat increased and linear growth was reduced. In experiment 2, however, there was a temporary hyperphagia during the 1st 2 weeks of the study. In the DMN-lesioned rats, both ponderal and linear growth and food intake were decreased but body composition was normal. Plasma obtained at sacrifice in experiment 2 showed slight but significant hyperinsulinemia in the VMN rats (p less than 0.02 vs control and p less than 0.05 vs DMN rats). Prolactin (PRL) levels, on the other hand, were higher in the DMN-lesioned rats (p less than 0.05 vs control and p less than 0.02 vs VMN rats). The data indicate that the changes characteristic of the weanling rat VMN and DMN syndrmes are due to 'true' tissue destruction rather than to artifactitious side effects of the lesions.

In sexually immature female rats 'primed' with a unilateral basal hypothalamic lesion on day 23 of life, a gonadotropin surge was triggered by progesterone (P) on day 26. The influence of sequential ovariectomy (OVX) on this response was studied in an attempt to elucidate the mode of action of brain lesions inducing precocious sexual maturation in this species. OVX, carried out on days 23-26, abolished or greatly reduced the LH surge, but had little effect on basal LH concentrations. In contrast, basal FSH concentrations rose rapidly after OVX. In lesioned rats, the post-castration rise of FSH could be prevented by leaving the ovaries in place during the 1st 24 or 48 h. It is concluded that the lesion-induced maturation of the positive feedback mechanism underlying the pubertal preovulatory gonadotropin surge is mediated by the ovaries.

Additional inhibition of catecholamine synthesis in RES-treated animals by alpha-MpT abolished the effect of AMPH, which indicates that the effect of this compound is mediated through newly synthesized dopamine (DA), while the effect of APO and LHM remained unchanged. Inhibition of dopa decarboxylation by Ro 4-4602 within the whole body abolished the effect of L-dopa, while lower dosages of Ro 4-4602, which do not penetrate the blood-brain barrier, had less effect. The noradrenergic receptor-stimulating agent clonidine (CLON) had no Prl-lowering effect in RES-treated female rats. In hypophysectomized rats bearing 4 pituitaries transplanted under the kidney capsule, APO and LSM still lowered serum Prl concentrations, while AMPH had no effect; SUL produced a strong increase.

The involvement of adrenergic, serotonergic and cholinergic mechanisms in the diurnal surge of plasma prolactin (Prl) secretion has been examined using ovariectomized, polyestradiol phosphate-treated (PEP) rats bearing aortic catheters. An afternoon surge in plasma Prl was observed to peak at 15.00 h and 17.00 h followed by declining levels at 19.00 and 21.00 h. This pattern was observed between 5 and 21 days after PEP administration. The alpha-adrenergic blocker, phenoxybenzamine (Phenox), completely prevented the Prl surge. The beta-blocker, propranolol (Propra), appeared to delay the onset and intensity of the diurnal Prl surge so that maximum levels were observed at 19.00 and 21.00 h. The serotonergic blocker, methysergide (MES), delayed the maximum diurnal Prl level until 21.00 h, while cyproheptadine (Cypro), another serotonergic blocker, significantly inhibited the surge. The muscarinic cholinergic agonist, arecoline (Arec), when administered at 12.00 h, delayed the surge, while the repeated administration of Arec completely blocked the surge. Atropine (Atro) (10 m/kg at 12.00 h and 5 mg/kg every 2 h thereafter) did not have any effect on the Prl surge, but when administered simultaneously with Arec, prevented the inhibitory effect of Arec on Prl release. The data suggested that the adrenergic and serotonergic systems have a positive input in the occurrence and magnitude of the surge and that the cholinergic system does not appear to have a physiologic role in tonically inhibiting Prl release, but may function under certain special conditions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1028955"} {"pmid": "1028959", "title": "Conference of Deans and Principals of Medical Colleges in India, held on April 23-24, 1976 at New Delhi: Post-concluding session: medical research in medical colleges.", "content": "Conference of Deans and Principals of Medical Colleges in India, held on April 23-24, 1976 at New Delhi: Post-concluding session: medical research in medical colleges.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1028959"} {"pmid": "1028958", "title": "Conference of Deans and Principals of Medical Colleges in India, held on April 23-24, 1976 at New Delhi: Summary report of the proceedings.", "content": "Conference of Deans and Principals of Medical Colleges in India, held on April 23-24, 1976 at New Delhi: Summary report of the proceedings.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1028958"} {"pmid": "1028960", "title": "Health services of Sri Lanka.", "content": "Health services of Sri Lanka.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1028960"} {"pmid": "1028964", "title": "Conference of Deans and Principals of Medical Colleges in India, held on April 23-24, 1976 at New Delhi: Introduction.", "content": "Conference of Deans and Principals of Medical Colleges in India, held on April 23-24, 1976 at New Delhi: Introduction.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1028964"} {"pmid": "1028963", "title": "National population policy.", "content": "National population policy.

Experimental data are presented indicating that six organic compounds (homologous cholates) possess properties associated with high-temperature superconductivity. From magnetic and electrical measurements it is deduced that behavior resembling superconductivity occurs below characteristic transition temperatures in small domains included in the insulating bulk of the sample material, which is therefore designated a fractional o Type III superconductor. The six cholates exhibit this superconductivity below transition temperatures ranging from approximately 7.5 degrees K for sodium dioxycholate to 277 degrees K for sodium cholanate. It has been further established that the diamagnetic shifts with temperature cannot be attributed to ferrielectric, ferroelectric, or capacitive effects. Below the transition temperatures the cholates behave like perfect diamagnets, susceptible to forceful repulsion by a moderate magnetic field. Observed in a sensitive susceptometer, magnetic flux trapped in the material gave rise to a 3% remnant magnetic moment. Studied in particular detail were sodium cholate, sodium deoxycholate, and lithocholic acid, which showed transition temperatures of 30 degrees K, 60 degrees K, and 130 degrees K respectively. The hydrophobic property of the closed four-ring structure (R-group) common to the cholates, along with the hydrophilic property of the carboxylate group (S-group), are responsible for domain formation. Because of those properties, clustering of the S-groups occurs when traces of water are introduced into the material.

In this study we have evaluated estriol precursors in the form of 17-ketosteroids in the urine of pregnant women with mild diabetes mellitus as well as a non-diabetic control group. Urinary total estrogen excretion was also determined. Diabetics were found to excrete significantly higher amounts of 17-ketosteroids than the non-diabetic group.

During your daily routine, moving, walking, climbing stairs, etc., whether for one minute 60 times per day, 12 minutes 5 times a day, or any combination totalling 60 minutes, will burn up approximately 300 kcal (1.2MJ).

This possibility was first put forth by Russell, who studied a single family with ornithine carbamyl transferase deficiency and 8 juveniles with migraine, RUSSELL'S finding was supported by a preliminary study carried out by one of the authors in which hyperammo-naemia was found in 22 adults during migraine attacks. In order to etknd these earlier findings, serum ammonia levels were determined in 35 adults with either classic or complicated migraine and in 20 healthy adults. No significant difference was found between the patients (44 microgram/100 ml +/- 13.9) and the controls (74 microgram/100 ml +/- 9.5).

Inspite of the fact that the haemodynamic changes in the right ventricle in schistosomal disease received proper attention, left ventricular changes were not equally assessed. That the left ventricle could suffer in bilharzial disease is a possibility, probably due to the development of shunts and toxic myocarditis. In this wor5, left ventricular functions were studied using the rate of maximum rise of intraventricular pressure (kp/dt) as an index of contractility. The study included 10 normal controls, 5 cases with bilharzial liver fibrosis and no ascites or cor pulmonale, 10 cases with BLF, and ascites but no cor pulmonale, and 10 cases with bilharzial cor pulmonale. Diminished dp/dt values were obtained in 8 out of the 10 cases of bilharzial cor pulmonale, in whom the left ventricular pressure curve also showed distortion and delay in the descending limb of the isometric relaxation phase, denoting defective contractility of the left ventricle, and probably a diastolic volume overload in these cases. In BLF with or without ascites, the dp/dt values were surprisingly increased possibly due to increased catecholamines in these cases secondary to ineffective destruction in the liver suffering from parenchymatous disease. The left ventricle is thus shown to suffer in bilharzial disease particularly in cases with bilharzial cor pulmonale.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1029651"} {"pmid": "1029652", "title": "The effects of dyphylline [7-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) theophylline] on the toxicity of hycanthone on the frog's heart.", "content": "The effects of dyphylline [7-(2,3-dihydroxypropyl) theophylline] on the toxicity of hycanthone on the frog's heart.

As a consequence, personality theories are strongly influenced by personal and subjective factors. These influences are partially responsible for the present day lack of consensus in psychology as to basic conceptual frameworks for the study of man. The science of human personality can achieve a greater degree of consensus and generality only if it begins to turn back on itself and question its own psychological foundations. The role of subjective and personal factors in this field can be studied and made more explicit by means of a psychobiographical method which interprets the major ideas of personality theories in the light of the formative experiences in the respective theorists' lives. This method is briefly illustrated by an examination of the influence of personal experiences on theoretical concepts in the work of Carl Jung, Carl Rogers, Wilhelm Reich, and Gordon Allport. The subjective factors disclosed by psychobiographical analysis can bee seen to interact with influences stemming from the intellectual and historical context within which the theorist work. The psychobiographical study of personality theory is only one part of a larger discipline, the psychology of knowledge, which would study the role of subjective and personal factors in the structure of man's knowledge in general.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1029746"} {"pmid": "1029747", "title": "The need for accuracy in historiography.", "content": "The need for accuracy in historiography.

Twelve subjects were tested in a study of short-and long-term habituation of visually evoked responses to flashes with fixed and random interstimulus intervals. Long-term habituation was evalutated using blocks of 64 responses, and 'sliding' averages were calculated for estimation of the short-term habituation. Two measures of averaged evoked responses amplitude were used: N1-P2 amplitude and mean level of responses between 70 and 220 msec. A gradual decrease of amplitude of the vertex responses was observed during the first 3 min of stimulation, the greater part of this decrement occurring during the first 15 sec, with fixed interstimulus intervals. No decrement was observed with random interstimulus intervals. As the time course of long-term habituation may be influenced by fluctuations in the levels of arousal and attention, a decrement of the responses in a short period of stimulation is more likely to represent true habituation.

Adaptation has been observed in most mammalian species; however, the mechanism of adaptation has not been well defined. Recent evidence indicates that 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1,25(OH)2-D3], the active metabolite of vitamin D, may be involved in the process of adaptation. The present study was designed to examine the inflluence of experimental interruption of vitamin D metabolism on acute low calcium adaptation. Partial hepatectomy, cortisone treatment and dietary strontium supplements were used to inhibit the production of 1,25(OH)2-D3. In separate experiments partial hepatectomy produced a 38% reduction in adaptation; cortisone treatment (5 mg/day, s.c.) caused a 88% reduction and dietary strontium abolished adaptation completely.

This was significantly greater than the venous concentration of 0.027 +/- 0.002 (p less than 0.01). This arteriovenous difference suggests that acetate is utilized peripherally. At the onset of hemodialysis, acetate concentrations rapidly rose and, in all but one case, reached a steady state value in the range of 1.5-5.1 mM. At the termination of dialysis, acetate concentrations fell rapidly, usually achieving baseline values within one hr. The rate of decrease was not a simple logarithmic function, suggesting that acetate metabolism is not solely a first order function.

The same amount of chrondroitin-4-sulphate (0.4 mg/ml) added to serum-free cultures also resulted in an increased ratio of premelanosomes and melanosomes to mitochondria but, within the 3-day period many of these organelles did not attain the pattern of maturity evident in melanoma cells reared in serum-supplemented media. By exploitation of slowed rates of development of melanosomes in cultures (especially, but not exclusively, in serum-free samples) it was possible to examine various early developmental forms of these organelles. It was found that in this cell line mitochondria appear to be involved in the process of melanosome formation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030372"} {"pmid": "1030373", "title": "Accreditation revisited.", "content": "Accreditation revisited.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030373"} {"pmid": "1030375", "title": "\"Drug therapy and the elderly patient\".", "content": "\"Drug therapy and the elderly patient\".", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030375"} {"pmid": "1030374", "title": "Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Program.", "content": "Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Program.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030374"} {"pmid": "1030378", "title": "Statement of functions of pharmacists and non-professional personnel in hospital pharmacy.

Intrauterine and early postnatal life are periods of exceptionally high susceptibility to certain kinds of chemical carcinogens. The most potent known transplacental carcinogens are direct acting alkylating agents. Most nonreactive compounds, which require enzymes for metabolic conversion into chemically reactive \"proximate carcinogens,\" are less effective because the required enzymes are present at low levels in the fetus, and many proximate carcinogens are too reactive to reach the fetus when formed in maternal tissues. Despite this, many carcinogens which require metabolic activation are very active transplancentally, as the intrinsic susceptibility of rapidly dividing fetal cells compensates effectively for comparatively low tissue levels of reactive metabolites. Transplacental carcinogens of all kinds are most effective late in gestation, generally after organogenesis has begun and after the period of greatest susceptibility to teratogens. Only a small number of known carcinogens have been tested for transplacental carcinogenic activity. The great majority of tumors induced transplacentally in the well-studied rodent and lagomorph species (mouse, rat, Syrian hamster, and rabbit) have morphologic features of adult, rather than embryonal, tissues. A given agent tends to induce in a given species largely the same types of tumor when given transplacentally as when administered directly to postweaning animals, unless its carcinogenic effect in the latter is ascribable to some peculiarity of distribution, metabolism, or physiology. In a second species, the spectrum of tumors induced either before of after birth may be quite different. For bioassay of suspected carcinogens, the significance of perinatal carcinogenesis lies in the facts that the fetal and preweaning rodent is an extremely sensitive indicator of carcinogenic activity, and that the facile adaptibility of fetal cells to tissue culture and their rapid expression in vitro of properties of neoplastic transformation make possible a rapid in vivo/in vitro screening system for chemical carcinogens.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030391"} {"pmid": "1030380", "title": "Unit dose--how one hospital pharmacist became a disciple.", "content": "Unit dose--how one hospital pharmacist became a disciple.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030380"} {"pmid": "1030393", "title": "Behavioral teratology: overview.", "content": "Behavioral teratology: overview.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030393"} {"pmid": "1030384", "title": "The President's viewpoint: monitoring drug therapy.", "content": "The President's viewpoint: monitoring drug therapy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030384"} {"pmid": "1030379", "title": "What you see is what you get.", "content": "What you see is what you get.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030379"} {"pmid": "1030394", "title": "Techniques for assessment of teratologic effects: embryo culture.", "content": "Techniques for assessment of teratologic effects: embryo culture.

Most studies designed for assessing teratogenic effects focus on only three of four types of final manifestations of abnormal development; namely intrauterine death, malformations, and growth retardation. Developmental toxicity evaluations generally do not include functional deficits. Current techniques are inadequate for assessing functional capability during perinatal development, and there is a need for improved measures. Thus, measurement of developmental enzyme patterns is proposed as an approach that directly evaluates acquisition of metabolic competence of fundamental organ systems. During ontogenesis most organs acquire their full complement of enzyme activities in a programmed sequence which corresponds to attainment of complete functional capability. The usual alterations in enzyme activity that characterize these patterns occur at one of three time periods, namely, late fetal, early neonatal, or late suckling. Qualitative or quantitative changes in these patterns at any time by one or more key enzymes of a tissue could be indicative of developmental toxicity. Factors are outlined relating to consideration of developmental enzyme profiles as indices of maturation capable of reflecting the action of toxic agents. This presentation: (1) reviews the current state of the art for evaluating effects on development, (2) considers the applicability of enzyme patterns for biochemical assessment of development, (3) characterizes the target tissues and those metabolic pathways and/or specific enzymes most sensitive and adaptable to practical toxicity evaluations, and (4) describes the steps being taken to validate this system.

It is suggested by examples that, if attention was concentrated not on the inconsistent malformations but on more consistent embryopathic effects which in one form or another are always associated with malformations, the predictive value of the screening tests would appear in a more favorable light.

The specialized application of elastomeric materials as closures for freeze-dried products presents additional requirements which are superimposed upon those previously discussed. The first of these unique considerations relates to the proper physical design which will permit the outgassing of water vapor during the sublimation step in the lyophilizing chamber. During this outgassing the design must also permit the closure to remain affixed in the neck while only partially inserted. Since these preparations are lyophilized because they are unstable in aqueous solutions, the elastomer used must constitute an effective barrier to the transmission of moisture vapor through the closure. The MVT and gas transmission properties of elastomers will be discussed.

Dissolution of tablets prepared by this Du Pont process is so rapid (8-12 seconds) that a special testing technique is required for measurement of dissolution time. Improved recoveries of activity have been demonstrated for sensitive biological materials compared to conventional freeze-drying.

(2) That in the course of preparation of the standard, the contents of each ampoule have been treated in exactly the same way and held for the same length of time under the same conditions, (i.e. all the ampoules of the standard have been treated as one single batch, each stage of processing being carried out under constant conditions in one complete working session, however long).

They suggest that this control is similar to that seen in the adult rat and in man and that such control may operate through serotonin receptors.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030499"} {"pmid": "1030501", "title": "The pigmentary dispersion syndrome and glaucoma.", "content": "The pigmentary dispersion syndrome and glaucoma.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030501"} {"pmid": "1030502", "title": "Ophthalmoplegic migraine and periodic migrainous neuralgia, migraine variants with ocular manifestations.", "content": "Ophthalmoplegic migraine and periodic migrainous neuralgia, migraine variants with ocular manifestations.

The effects of acute and chronic administration of a combination of lynestrenol-mestrenol, a widely employed contraceptive medication, on the dopaminergic system of the rat forebrain and striatum were investigated to better understand the biochemical basis of the neurological side-effects of steroid contraceptive drugs (SCDs). Both acute and chronic treatment increased the disappearance rate of striatal dopamine (DA) after synthesis blockade with alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine (alpha-MpT). Moreover, the conversion of 3H-tyrosine (3H-T) into 3H-DA was increased in the forebrain and striatum after chronic administration of this steroid combination. In the same animals, the utilization of tyrosine (T) is increased. The effects of acute (4 days) and chronic (30 days) administration of a combination of lynestrenol-mestranol on the dopaminergic system of the rat forebrain and striata were studied. Mature female Sprague-Dawley rats were used. The dosage most often used was a 5: to .3 mg ratio/kg of body weight given orally. The last dose was given 24 hours before sacrifice. IV injection of tritiated-tyrosine was given at a dose of 1 mCi/kg. Animals were sacrificed at 10 and 25 minutes after injection; brains were removed and tissues immediately frozen and kept until assayed. Polyethylene cannulae were implanted into the lateral brain ventricles 72 hours before the injection of the labeled amino and tyrosine, dissolved in Ringer's solution, at a dose of 7 microCi in each ventricle. These animals were sacrificed and the striata kept frozen. Rats received alpha-methyl-p-tyrosine-methyl ester, 200 mg/kg iv. In each group 4 animals were sacrificed before treatments and at 1, 2, and 4 hours after this inhibitor was administered.

Success was obtained in all but 2 procedures, both of which involved previously operated kidneys with severe inflammation and adhesions involving the renal pelvis and pedicle. Based on our experience and a review of currently available literature we believe that renal autotransplantation and extracorporeal reconstruction can provide the best solution for patients with severe renovascular and ureteral disease not correctable by conventional operative techniques. The technique can be of particular value in removing centrally located tumors in solitary kidneys and in preparing donor kidneys with abnormal arteries for renal transplantation. The role of autotransplantation in the management of advanced renal trauma and calculus disease is less clear.

The attorney can learn from the doctor in this process, and I think the doctor can learn from the courts. I hope the day will come when no psychiatrist will ever say that he is too busy to take the patient's case if it is likely to involve him in legal controversy. I hope the time will come when no psychiatrist will say that he will not become involved with a case unless he can do so as an appointee of the court as opposed to a doctor employed by one of the parties.

The term alternating is meant to imply facial nerve paralysis, the onset of which occurs at different points in time on both sides of the face. Clinical findings are presented and a short review of the literature is summarized. The authors conclude that alternating facial palsy is often associated with diabetes mellitus. Alternating facial palsy is an infrequent finding. This is in marked contrast to the unilateral form. Approximately every 13 minutes someone in the United States incurs idiopathic facial paralysis or Bell's palsy (20 persons per 100,000 per year). It is apparent that the majority of unilateral facial palsies fall into the idiopathic category. The alternating form of facial paralysis, however, appears to be an unusual finding in a symptom complex of several diseases which will be discussed.

Thirty-five patients with known cerebral lesions complained of recently acquired blurred vision. None of them had evident oculomotor or pupillary abnormalities, and each had intact central fields and normal visual acuity by conventional standards. Examination of spatial contrast sensitivity was carried out with sinusoidal grating patterns, by determining the minimum contrast between alternate light and dark bars required to distinguish the pattern from a homogeneous field. This was done at each of several spatial frequencies which were established by varying the width of the bars and hence the coarseness of the pattern. The contrast sensitivities were plotted as \"visuograms\" which, by analogy to audiograms, record the sensitivities in comparison to normal standards. Of the 35 patients, most showed significant losses, amounting to greater than 50 per cent elevation of contrast thresholds. Eighteen showed high frequency losses; 11 had uniform reductions over the entire visible spatial frequency range and 6 had selective frequency losses in the intermediate frequency ranges. These defects in spatial contrast sensitivity, which were not predictable from standard acuity scores, indicate that the visual symptoms in our patients may have been caused by damage to frequency-selective neural elements in the central visual systems. The method may be used to advantage in clinical investigations as well as in physiological investigations of the functional pathways subserving central vision.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030654"} {"pmid": "1030655", "title": "Primary cerebral neuroblastoma.

These rare tumours occur most often in children in the first half of the first decade. Grossly the tumors are often massive, discrete, lobular, firm and cystic. Histologically three variants, largely determined by the extent and distribution of the fibrous connective tissue stroma, are recognized: (1) a classical variant, which most resembles the peripheral neuroblastoma and is characterized by a high frequency of Homer Wright rosettes and a relatively high frequency of ganglionic differentiation; (2) a desmoplastic variant, which is characterized by an intense connective tissue stroma; and (3) a transitional variant, in which both the classical and the desmoplastic features may be present within the same case, either concurrently or consecutively. Both the desmoplastic and the transitional forms are less likely to exhibit differentiation to mature ganglion cells, but the importance of identifying the primitive cell elements as neuroblasts is emphasized. With rare exceptions, this can be established only by specific silver impregnations on frozen material. Occasionally the direction of growth may be largely leptomeningeal. Seven illustrative clinical histories with pathological correlations are described. The over-all clinical behaviour of these tumours is that of malignant neuroepithelial neoplasms, characterized by a high recurrence rate. Recurrence may, however, be a late development, in some cases occurring five or seven years after apparently successful surgical removal. The tumour shows shows a high incidence of metastatic spread, almost 40 per cent of the cases examined at autopsy having disseminated in the cerebrospinal pathways. Exceptionally, extraneural metastases may also develop. However, long post-operative survival occasionally occurs, and the subsequent clinical course is not always predictable in the individual case. The differential diagnosis is briefly discussed. The cellular nature of the tumour and its biological behaviour recall those of the cerebellar medulloblastoma.

The findings indicate that tetraplegic subjects have an enhanced pressor response to noradrenaline infusions.

The clinical manifestations and natural history of radiculomyelitis following a newly reported disease--acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC)--have been studied in 33 patients in Taiwan, and the following observations made: All the patients in this series were adults at ages ranging from 21 to 55 years; the salient initial neurological manifestations were radicular pains and acute flaccid paralysis which developed from five to thirty-seven days after the onset of AHC. In some patients, signs and symptoms indicating involvement of the meninges, cranial nerves and the white matter of the cord were observed; motor paralysis was the most striking feature during the whole clinical course; it consisted of flaccid asymmetrical weakness in one or more limbs, usually being more severe in the lower limbs than in the upper, and often more proximal than distal. Atrophy in the severely affected muscles usually became apparent in the second or third week of the weakness; the prognosis regarding the return of function in the affected muscles was dependent on the severity of the involvement. Permanent incapacitation due to paralysis and muscular atrophy in the affected proximal muscles of lower limbs was the main sequel in severe cases. The pattern and prognosis of flaccid motor paralysis were reminiscent of acute poliomyelitis in which the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord are mainly involved. Pleocytosis ranging from 11 to 270 per mm3 was noted in the majority of the patients when the cerebrospinal fluid was examined within the first three weeks from the onset of neurological symptoms; the total protein level was raised invariably from the second week onwards in all specimens, and remained so throughout the subsequent course as long as the seventh week or later. Tissue culture neutralization tests were performed on the sera from 9 patients; significant rises in the antibody titres (greater than or equal to 1:16) to AHC virus antigens were found in 8 cases, and in 2 of them a fourfold rise in the paired sera was noted. The differentiation of this syndrome from poliomyelitis and from Guillain-Barré syndrome, the relative freedom of children from neurological complications of AHC and the aetiological relationship of AHC virus to the syndrome have been discussed.

Less favorable responses were achieved with overt neurotic alcoholics when treatment was designed to resolve underlying personality disturbances.

Criterion validity is shown to be irrelevant to health status measures because of the lack of a single specific, directly observable measure of health for use as a criterion. To overcome this problem, the Index of Well-being has been constructed to fulfill the definition of content validity by including all levels of function and symptom/problem complexes, a clearly defined relation to the death state, and consumer ratings of the relative desirability of the function levels. Data from a two-wave household interview survey provide convergent evidence of construct validity by demonstrating an expected positive correlation of the Index of Well-being with self-rated well-being and expected negative correlations with age, number of chronic medical conditions, number of reported symptoms or problems, number of physician contacts, and dysfunctional status.

HRP has been used as a cytochemical marker for a sterelogic analysis of pinocytic vesicles and secondary lysosomes in cultivated macrophages and L cells. Evidence is presented that the diaminobenzidine technique (a) detects all vaculoes containing encyme and (b) distinguishes between incoming pinocytic vesicles and those which have fused with pre-existing lysosomes to form secondary lososomes. The HRP reactive pinocytic vesicle spaces fills completely within 5 min after exposure to enzyme, while the secondary lysosome compartment is saturated in 45--60 min. The size distribution of sectioned (profile) vaculoe diameters was measured at equilibrium and converted to actual (spherical) dimensions using a technique modified from Dr. S. D. Wicksell. The most important findings in this study have to do with the rate at which pinocytosed fluid and surface membrane move into the cell and on their subsequent fate. Each minute macrophages form at least 125 pinocytic vesicles having a fractional vol of 0.43% of the cell's volume and a fractional area of 3.1% of the cell's surface area. The fractional volume and surface area flux rates for L cells were 0.05% and 0.8% per minute respectively. Macrophages and L cells thus interiorize the equivalent of their cell surface area every 33 and 125 min. During a 3-period, the size of the secondary lysosome compartment remains constant and represents 2.5% of the cell volume and 18% of the surface area. Each hour, therefore, the volume and surface area of incoming vesicles is 10 times greater than the dimensions of the secondary lysosomes in both macrophages and L cells. This implies a rapid reduction in vesicle size during the formation of the secondary lysosome and the egress of pinocytosed fluid from the vacuole and the cell. In addition, we postulate that membrane components of the vacuole are subsequently recycled back to the cell surface.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030706"} {"pmid": "1030705", "title": "The role of actin in the temperature-dependent gelation and contraction of extracts of Acanthamoeba.", "content": "The role of actin in the temperature-dependent gelation and contraction of extracts of Acanthamoeba. The temperature-dependent assembly and the interaction of Acanthamoeba contractile proteins have been studied in a crude extract. A cold extract of soluble proteins from Acanthamoeba castellanii is prepared by homogenizing the cells in a sucrose-ATP-ethyleneglycol-bis-(beta-aminoethyl ether) N,N'-tetraacetic acid buffer and centrifuging at 136,000 g for 1 h. When this supernate of soluble proteins is warmed to room temperature, it forms a solid gel. Upon standing at room temperature, the gel slowly contracts and squeezes out soluble components. The rates of gelation and contraction are both highly temperature dependent, with activation energies of about 20 kcal per mol. Gel formation is dependent upon the presence of ATP and Mg++. Low concentrations of Ca++ accelerate the contractile phase of this phenomenon. The major protein component of the gel is actin. It is associated with myosin, cofactor, a high molecular weight protein tentatively identfied as actin-binding protein, and several other unidentified proteins. Actin has been purified from these gels and was found to be capable of forming a solid gel when polymerized in the presence of ATP, MgCl3, and KCL. The rate of purified actin polymerication is very temperature dependent and is accelerated by the addition of fragments of muscle actin filaments.

We have developed the hypothesis, based on these observations, that the geometrical organization of the network determined by the stress-induced shape changes normally experienced by the cells linked by the network. Consistent with this theory, tight junctions can be classified into two distinct types of network organization which differ in their response normal and experimentally induced stress conditions: (a) loosely interconnected networks which can stretch or compress extensively under tension, thereby adapting to stress changes in the tissue; and (b) evenly cross-linked networks which retain their basic morphology under normal stress conditions. The absorptive cells of the large intestine as well as the mucous cells of the gastrointestine or stomach are sealed by the first, flexible type of tight junction. The second type of junctional organization, the evenly cross-connected network, is found between absorptive cells of the small intestine and ciliated cells of the esophagus, and reflects in its constant morphology the relative stability of the apical region of both of these cell types. Networks intermediate between these two types arise when a cell which would normally form a lossely interconnected network borders a cell which tends to form a more evenly cross-linked network, as is found in the esophagus where ciliated and goblet cells adjoin.

The arterial endothelium is provided with a complex of occluding and communicating junctions (gap junctions) comparable to, though less elaborate than, that described in arterioles. The particles of the occluding junctions behave like \"single unit\" particles and have the tendency to remain on B faces upon membrane cleavage. In the venous endothelium the junctions take the form of long occluding junctions with few associated communicating junctions (maculae communicantes). As in arterial endothelium, the junctional particles appear preferentially on B faces in cleaved preparations. These structures, although continuous over long distances, are interrupted focally by areas in which the junctional elements are similar to those found in venules: the ridges and grooves are short, discontinuous, randomly distributed along the general line of cell contact, and often particle-free. In muscular arteries two unusual types of junctions are encountered. Both are disposed in loops over short distances along the perimeter of the cell. One type appears to be a strectched-out version of the usual combination of occluding and communcating junctions of the arterial endothelium (this type is also occasionally encountered in the venous endothelium).

The percent of drivers with poor acuity who reported three or more accidents was approximately double the percent of drivers with good acuity who reported three or more accidents. The proportion with poor acuity who reported two accidents was approximately 50% greater than the proportion for those with good acuity. These differences were statistically significant and prevailed at all age levels above 19 years. The differences in proportions reporting one accident and no accident for the poor and good acuity categories were not significant.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030715"} {"pmid": "1030716", "title": "The center of projection.", "content": "The center of projection.

In diabetes mellitus there can be microangiopathy which results from the proliferation of the endothelium of the intima and thickening of the basement membrane. This further contributes to a sluggish blood flow. In the patient with arteriosclerotic vascular disease, the lumens of the arterioles and arterioles are compromised by the atheromatous plaques. The anatomic structure of the blood supply to bone along with the pathologic membrane thickening, allows for slowing of blood.

The 11th minute was used to assure the complete exhaustion of energy reserves following the paced part of the task. Overall performance following PE-170 was significantly worse than that following no PE, PE-110, and PE-140, which was probably due to a build up of anaerobic metabolites such as lactate during the PE. Total work appeared to be greatest following PE-110, which showed a slight tendency toward better performance especially after the 6th minute.

From these results it was concluded that the suppression of the sinoatrial node automaticity at higher [K]o was due to the decrease in magnitude of both the transient inward current and the outward current tail. As the cause of the depression of the transient inward current, its inactivation through depolarization, increased outward leak current and some direct inhibitory effect of K were proposed. The reduction of the outward current tail was attributed to the decrease in the driving force of the K current.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030749"} {"pmid": "1030750", "title": "Prostaglandin action on the main pulmonary artery and portal vein of the rabbit.", "content": "Prostaglandin action on the main pulmonary artery and portal vein of the rabbit.

In the pulmonary artery, PGE1 and PGE2 (10(-9)-10(-6) g/ml) had no effect on mechanical properties, but PGF2alpha (10(-8) g/ml) produced tonic contraction, while in the portal vein, PGE1 and PGE2 caused relaxation of the tissues. When the tissue of the pulmonary artery contracted from pretreatment with noradrenaline (10(-7) g/ml), PGE1 and PGE2 experienced partial, incomplete, relaxation, while PGF2alpha enhanced the mechanical response produced by noradrenaline. At concentrations of 10(-7) g/ml, PGE1 and PGE2 hyperpolarized the membranes in both smooth muscle tissues while PGF2alpha depolarized them. These agents decreased membrane resistance at all membrane potential levels to values below those measured in Krebs solution. PGF2alpha (10(-6) g/ml) applied simultaneously with procaine (1.4-2.7 x 10(-3) g/ml) markedly enhanced the mechanical responses of both tissues beyond the effects evoked by PGF2alpha alone. However, noradrenaline (10(-8) and 10(-7) g/ml) applied simultaneously with procaine (1.4 x 10(-3) g/ml) markedly suppressed the mechanical responses evoked by noradrenaline alone.

The excitatory action of PGF2alpha (10(-5) g/ml) and noradrenaline (10(-7) g/ml) on the electrical and mechanical responses appear as the same phenomena, i.e., depolarized membrane, decreased membrane resistance and contraction, although the mechanisms producing the above phenomena differ.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030750"} {"pmid": "1030779", "title": "Reflective and impulsive children: strategies of information processing underlying differences in problem solving.", "content": "Reflective and impulsive children: strategies of information processing underlying differences in problem solving.

Stimuli were presented both visually and auditorily and included both visually and aduitorily and included both verbal and pictorial matrials. The tasks required verbal and nonverbal responses and varied in the level of stimulus analysis necessary for successful performance. The subjects' strategy was assessed by the quality of their performance on tasks requiring detail versus global processing, and by the strategy they chose to adopt in tasks where either detail or global processing led to successful performance. While reflective children performed better on tasks requiring detail analysis than on tasks requiring global analysis, impulsive children showed the reverse trend. Furthermore, when successful solutions could be reached via either a global- or a detail-processing strategy, impulsive children who adopted the former were equally as successful as reflective children who adopted the latter strategy. It was concluded that, contrary to existing views, impulsive children are not inferior to reflective children in general potential or problem-solving ability.

GH and cortisol circadian profiles were preserved, although their magnitude was diminished. The extent of nocturnal TSH and T4 changes was significantly reduced.

Growth hormone is released from pituitary glands maintained in tissue culture as early as 5 weeks after conception. It has been identified in the fetal anterior pituitary gland by immunologic and biologic techniques between 7 and 15 weeks of gestation. Immunoreactive pituitary GH levels increase rapidly between 10 and 14 weeks of gestation to maximal levels at 30-34 weeks. Serum GH levels are detectable by 10-weeks postconception and reach maximal values at 20-24 weeks declining thereafter until term. Pospartum GH concentrations decline over several weeks to lower values, GH levels remaining higher in preterm than in term infants. The biologic role of pituitary GH in the fetus is unknown. Although birth-weights and lengths are reported to be normal in infants with anencephaly, aplasia, or hypoplasia of the pituitary gland and in isolated deficiency of growth hormone, in whom pituitary and serum GH levels are low, careful inspection of large series of such infants reveals that their birthweights may indeed be low and that cell numbers in many organs may be subnormal. In experimental animals prenatal administration of GH increases maternal weight and gestational length. Reported effects on neuronal growth and adult intelligence of animals treated prenatally may reflect these phenomena rather than a direct transplacental effect of GH. Prolactin is also elaborated by the pituitary gland of very young human fetuses. It has been identified immunologically by 10-weeks gestation and biologically at 18 weeks. Pituitary content of immunoreactive prolactin remains low until 16.5-weeks gestation and then increases steadily until term. The plasma concentration of prolactin is low until 30-weeks gestation and increases thereafter until term. In anencephalic fetuses prolactin levels are normal and respond to appropriate stimuli. Very high concentrations of (possibly fetal) prolactin are found in the amniotic fluid. The role of prolactin in the fetus is also unknown. It has been suggested that prolactin may be important for growth of the fetal adrenal cortex and/or for suppression of the immune response during pregnancy.

The significance of these and related data will be discussed in greater detail during the subsequent course of this workshop. For now, we can sum up our findings with the following general statements concerning this analysis: 1. Blood pressure elevation occuring alone during the course of pregnancy, in the absence of edema and/or proteinuria, affects perinatal survival adversely. 2. This relationship is most marked among nulliparas in the age range 20-34 years and is less pronounced, but still evident, in young nulliparas and in multiparas of comparable age. 3. The effect is greater among black patients than among white patients in the median-aged nulliparas and multiparas, but this difference is not mirrored in the young nulliparas studied. 4. Blood pressure elevations during weeks 20-28 of pregnancy result in much higher subsequent perinatal losses in white nulliparas (both median and young age groups) than comparable elevations earlier or later in pregnancy. 5. Among black nulliparas of median age, maximal blood pressure effect on outcome is encountered at the sixteenth week (the earliest available data), with continuing significant increases until the twenty-eighth week, and there is another increment at term. In younger black patients, the results from 20 through 28 weeks parallel those seen in white patients, but with an additional peak at term. 6. among multiparas, maximal effect occurs at 24-28 weeks in both black and white groups. 7. The critical blood pressure levels are significantly lower in early pregnancy than in late pregnancy. 8. Critical levels of blood pressure with advancing pregnancy appear to parallel the trend in mean blood pressures determined to exist for this series. 9. Utilizing blood pressure distribution data to set limits statistically, we find very meaningful increments in perinatal mortality rates for nulliparas presenting blood pressure elevations beyond the 95 percentile point.

The blood pressures of pregnant patients with proteinuria seem to be no higher than the levels of blood pressure in patients with no proteinuria. The presence of proteinuria and pregnancy in the absence of blood pressure elevation increases perinatal mortality above the values where blood pressure elevation occurs alone. This relationship is most prominent among nulliparous median-age pregnant patients. Even though the number of patients is small, the highest rates occur in the young white nullipara from the sixteenth to twenty-third week of pregnancy. Attempts to compare black and white median-aged nulliparas are meaningless because of the tremendous variability of data. 2. The findings in all cohorts with proteinuria were essentially the same as those in Cohorts I, II and III. Proteinuria of 2+ or greater occurs more frequently in black than in white gravidas. 3. Our observations indicate that perinatal mortality rates in patients with proteinuria are, for the most part, at least twice the rates of patients without proteinuria. 4. The volume of data available is insufficient to determine whether proteinuria influences prematurity rates or mean birth weights. However, our data suggest that some vascular or renal lesion must be affecting perinatal mortality. 5. The small number of patients in the proteinuria study group does not permit meaningful comparisons with the patient group presenting no edema or proteinuria. 6. Adherence to suitable criteria for discovering and measuring proteinuria is necessary to make the diagnosis of preeclampsia. These criteria include careful collection of urine in the clinic or hospital, utilization of acceptable standard testing methods, and the application of uniform principles of medical practice to the overall care of obstetric patients. 7. The data are presented, not interpreted. However, we cannot discount the value of the present data in suggesting the urgent need to restudy more of the current data available.

A total of 488 pregnancies had the combination of two-plus or more proteinuria and edema of the hands and face. Of these, 208 were white and 280 were black gravidas. In the white gravidas, 8 fetal and neonatal deaths occurred with a perinatal mortality of 38.5 per 1,000. There were 13 perinatal deaths in the black subgroup with a perinatal mortality rate of 46.4 per 1,000. The overall perinatal mortality rate was 43.0 per 1,000, which could be compared to the overall perinatal mortality rate of 32.8 per 1,000 for the segment of the study population without edema or proteinuria. This underscored the implication of increased hazard to fetal outcome of these clinical signs in combination. 2. The analysis of the matrix data showed scattered rates throughout gestation in white median-age nulliparas. Their black counterparts had comparable increased mortality rates. In the white multiparas of ages 20 to 34 years, the highest rates were found at relatively low blood pressure levels. The black median-age multiparas had rates associated with higher pressure readings, especially at or above 125/75. In teenage mulliparas with edema and proteinuria, perinatal mortality rates were similar for both subgroups and were found in somewhat lower blood pressures. 3. The incremental analysis was remarkable in that rates were scattered widely in the white subgroups, but tightly clustered in the black subgroups. The black median-age nulliparas had perinatal mortality concentrated about 115 to 134 mm. Hg systolic and 65 to 84 mm. Hg diastolic. The overall mortality rates of this subgroup were the highest of the subgroups studied. The black 20 to 34 year old multiparas had highest coassociated deaths in the 134-154 mm. Hg systolic levels throughout pregnancy. The clustering effect was most pronounced in black teenage nulliparas in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure groups at much lower levels. 4. The use of a critical cut-off blood pressure level of 125 mm. Hg systolic and 75 mm. Hg diastolic emphasized the combination factor effect, especially by the increased perinatal mortality rates in the black median-age subgroups of both nulliparas and multiparas. In the white median-age subgroups the rates were not uniformly affected. The teenage nulliparas as a group showed increased mortality rates with lower pressure levels in general. This was seen when the diastolic level was above 75 mm. Hg. 5. Perinatal mortality rates of nulliparas were increased by proteinuria and edema. This increase was great in the case of the 20 to 34 year old black nulliparas, particularly in association with increased blood pressure. Trends are not so apparent for the white median-age nulliparas. Nulliparas of 19 years of age or less have higher perinatal loss with edema and proteinuria, but this is not necessarily augmented with blood pressure elevation.

The frequency distributions of blood pressures in large populations fail to show two groups, one normotensive and the other hypertensive. In the spectrum of pressures, some people merely have higher levels than others and division of abnormal from normal is artificial and arbitrary, although it is useful for prognosis. The blood pressure of 140/90 as the conventional dividing line does not seem to be appropriate in pregnant women. From the standpoint of fetal prognosis, a level of 125/75 before the thirty-second week and 125/85 thereafter seems more reasonable. Moreover, those levels are close to the 120/80 that Robinson and Brucer specified as the upper limit of normal for all adults and are close to the 130/70 and 120/80 that the eminent British authority, F.J. Browne, used successively in the diagnosis of hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. If the standard of 125/75 were adopted, however, a quarter of all pregnant women would be hypertensive in the second trimester and half in the last month, which are disturbingly high proportions. For the diagnosis of preeclampsia, a rise in blood pressure probably is more significant than an arbitrary level. The usual blood pressure in midpregnancy merely defines the patient's place in the spectrum. Figure 9-1 indicates that in white nulliparas the diastolic pressure rises an average of 10 mm. Hg in the middle of the third trimester. If the mean and median are close together, greater increases would occur in half of the women. The classification of the American Committee on Maternal Welfare and of the Committee on Terminology of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists specify increases of 30 mm. Hg or more in the systolic or 15 mm. Hg or more in the diastolic pressures as criteria of preeclamptic hypertension. pperhaps the rise in diastolic pressure should be set at some greater value. Our analysis of data made thus far cannot decide that issue. The next phase of the study will include analyses in individual women of the times, magnitudes, persistence or transience, and the like of changes in blood pressure, edema, and proteinuria. Such data will afford much more information than can be derived from the preliminary studies reported here. Although edema of the hands and face may be more common in preeclamptic than in normal women, such edema is so common in normal pregnancy as to suggest that it usually is normal. In our data, edema seems to bear no relation to hypertension or proteinuria. The triad of signs -- hypertension, proteinuria, and edema -- is generally accepted as characteristic, though far from specific for preeclampsia. Our data support Hytten's conclusion that edema should by dropped from the triad. There is some indication, however, that some edema is abnormal and that it is associated with an adverse effect when it coincides with proteinuria late in pregnancy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030794"} {"pmid": "1030795", "title": "Humoral control of cell proliferation: the role of fibroblast growth factor in regeneration, angiogenesis, wound healing, and neoplastic growth.", "content": "Humoral control of cell proliferation: the role of fibroblast growth factor in regeneration, angiogenesis, wound healing, and neoplastic growth. The Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) is a mitogenic agent in the brain and pituitary of mammals. Recent investigations of the effect of FGF on diverse cell types has shown that FGF stimulates the division of cells from a wide variety of tissues of mesodermal origin including fibroblasts, chondrocytes, myoblasts, smooth muscle cells, glial cells, normal adrenal cells, and the Y1 adrenal cell line. Cell types of endodermal or ectodermal origin do not appear to be sensitive to FGF. Since FGF can be found in neural tissues and since it induces the proliferation of two cell types involved in the formation of regeneration blastemas (chondrocytes and myoblasts), we have investigated the possibility that FGF could be similar or identical to the neurotrophic factors present in nerve and responsible for the regeneration of limbs in lower vertebrates. Our results have shown that FGF could indeed substitute for the neurotropic factor and replace the nerves in inducing blastema formation and sustaining proliferation of mesenchymal cells which can differentiate into chrondrocytes and myoblasts. Since the blastema has been described as a benign tumor, the role of FGF in the formation of blastemas and benign tumors is currently under investigation. In addition to stimulating fibroblasts, FGF also has a striking growth-promoting effect on primary cultures of vascular endothelial cells. This suggests that FGF could be an angiogenesis factor. Thus, FGF, one of the most potent mitogenic agents found in tissue extracts has two properties expected of an agent which could induce tumors: it can induce blastema formation (direct mitogenic effect) and, through its mitogenic effect on endothelial cells, it could induce formation of capillaries (amplification step), permitting unlimited growth. Repair processes under FGF control will, under normal circumstances, lead to wound healing. In contrast, if cells become transplanted to the wrong environment (hormonal imbalance), growth factors such as FGF could make them proliferate in an anarchic way since negative feedback from surrounding cells will be lacking.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030795"} {"pmid": "1030796", "title": "Immunogenicity of tumor cells modified by trinitrobenzene suflonic acid (TNBS).", "content": "Immunogenicity of tumor cells modified by trinitrobenzene suflonic acid (TNBS).

This paper describes the principles and recent applications of two new methods for measuring rates of macroscopic lateral transport of fluorescent-labeled particles on the surface of individual cells. Both methods are based on microfluorimetric measurements of fluorescence intensity from a small open region (greater than or equal to 1 micronm radius) on the cell surface. Transport rates are measured from the rates at which the measured fluorescence intensity changes due to entrance or departure of fluorophores from the region. One method, \"Fluorescence Photobleach Recovery\" (FPR), uses a brief intense pulse of light to create an initial concentration gradient over the spot by irreversible photochemical destruction of fluorophores. The rate of fluorescence recovery due to transport of unbleached fluorophores into the observation region is the primary experimental datum. The other method, \"Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy\" (FCS), is based on a statistical analysis of spontaneous fluctuations of numbers of fluorophores in the observation region and does not require a perturbation to generate an initial concentration gradient. FCS is mainly useful to measure relatively fast processes (D greater than or equal to 10(-9) cm 2/sec) in stable systems; FPR can be used to measure both slow and fast transport in less stable systems. Using both FCS and FPR, the diffusion coefficient of a fluorescent lipid probe in rat myoblast plasma membranes was measured to be D = (9 +/- 4) X 10(-9) cm2/sec over a range of at least 4 micronm. FPR was used to measure the lateral mobility of the fluorescent labeled lectin concanavalin A complexed to myoblast plasma membrane \"receptors.\" A fraction of the complexes were immobile on the time scale of the experiment (D less than 8 x 10(-12) cm2/sec). The remainder of the complexes had effective diffusion coefficients far smaller than expected from the measurements on the lipid probe (8 x 10(-12) less than or equal to D less than or equal to 3.3 x 10(-11) cm2/sec). Moreover the mobility depended on the valence, dose, and time of occupancy of the lectin on the membrane, suggesting that an aggregation of complexes was occurring during the experiment. Cytochalasin B decreased the mobility of complexes, suggesting an influence of microfilaments on the transport process. Neither azide nor colchine affected measured transport rates. These results indicate the operation of constraints on the mobility of the lectin-receptor complexes beyond that exerted by the viscous resistance of the lipid bilayer membrane matrix. The two types of interactions revealed by our current experiments - interactions of the complexes with microfilaments and with each other (aggregation) - seem insufficient to account entirely for the low observed mobility.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030797"} {"pmid": "1030798", "title": "Direct observation of membrane movement by electron microscopy.", "content": "Direct observation of membrane movement by electron microscopy.

The two functional groups react under different conditions and it is possible to react one first and to activate the other later. Here the reagents were attached to the lectins by the imidoester reactions, and the arylazides now attached to the lectins were intended for the later use to crosslink the lectins and receptors. Human erythrocyte ghosts were incubated with the activated lectins, unbound lectins removed, and irradiated with UV to photolyze arylazides, thus crosslinking the lectins to the receptors in membranes. Upon the solubilization and subsequent electrophoresis of the sample, a new band appeared on the gel. 125I-Con A was detected in band A, the new band, and band 3, one of the membrane glycoproteins, diminished in parallel to the appearance of band A. The concurrent appearance of band A accompanied by 125I-Con A and decrease of band 3 were significantly reduced, when ghosts were incubated with the activated lectins but were not irradiated, ghosts were incubated with nonactivated 125I-Con A and irradiated, or ghosts were incubated with the activated concanavalin A in the presence of alpha-methylmannoside, the lectin inhibitor, and irradiated.

We have developed a new method for identifying proteins which span the plasma membrane (\"trans-membrane\" proteins) of mammalian cells grown in tissue culture. The method involves labeling proteins exposed on the cell surface with 125I by the lactoperoxidase technique and then preparing sealed, \"inside-out\" membrane vesicles (phagosomes) from the labeled cells using the polystyrene latex bead procedure. These inside-out vesicles are then treated briefly with trypsin and analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis for the presence of 125I-labeled protein species which were degraded by proteolytic attack. Such proteins must be exposed on both the outer and inner membrane surfaces and, therefore, they must pass through the lipid barrier. This method is a general one in the sense that it is suitable for use with a wide variety of cell types, and here we show how it has been employed to prove that a particular high molecular weight polypeptide, called band 1, spans the plasma membrane of mouse L cells. Further studies of the band 1 polypeptide have demonstrated that it is preferentially exposed on the L cell surface during G1 phase of the cell cycle. Progression of cells from G1 to S is accompanied by a marked decrease in the availability of band 1 to iodination and it remains unavailable until cells re-enter G1.

In parallel studies we found that post-confluence inhibition of cell division and agglutiniability of cells by Concanavalin A were not correlated with patching of surface bound lectin molecules as determined with a hemocyanin marker. Transformed cells growing in monolayer cultures were found to have many more microvilli than the corresponding normal cells. However, when cells were brought into suspension with EDTA, all cells developed numerous microvilli and we were not able to distinguish between agglutinable and nonagglutinable cells on the basis of morphological appearance. Cells agglutinated by Concanavalin A had numerous interdigitated microvilli at points of cell-cell contact. The appearance of spontaneously agglutinated cells and lectin agglutinated cells was very similar with respect to the involvement of microvilli in cell-cell attachments, and labeling studies with hemocyanin indicated that Concanavalin A bound to microvilli is rapidly cleared from these surface specializations in a manner analogous to that observed with patching of surface bound lectin. Several lines of SV-40 transformed fibroblasts were shown to be considerably more spontaneously agglutinable than untransformed cells. These results indicate that Concanavalin A may amplify an intrinsic membrane property common to many transformed cells that is expressed as an increase in the rate of adhesion of suspended cells.

The mouse neuroblastoma cell system (MNB) is of interest to both neurobiologists and cancer researchers because of its capacity to differentiate, with the consequent loss of some properties classically associated with malignancy. The effects of chemotherapeutic agents on MNB cells are variable; in general, cell cycle-specific agents will frequently induce differentiation, leaving viable surviving cells, while cell cycle nonspecific agents are toxic to both dividing and nondividing MNB cells. X-rays appear intermediate in that they are toxic to both cell populations, but survivors tend to resemble cells treated with cell cycle-specific drugs. Differentiated MNB cells apparently lose their capacity to repair some forms of DNA damage and this loss may be associated with their sensitivity to DNA damaging compounds. MNB cells are also susceptible to immunological lysis, particularly antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.

The standard cylinder plate bioassay method using Sarcina lutea as test organism was employed to determine antibiotic activity in the serum. The results suggested that these drugs are distributed in at least two kinetically distinct body compartments. By use of established mathematical techniques, values were assigned to the individual rate constants controlling distribution between the central and peripheral compartments and to the rate constant controlling overall elimination (beta) of each drug from the body. The calculated overall tissue to serum drug level ratios (k12/k21) after apparent distribution equilibrium was attained were 2-28 and 2-05 for erythromycin and tylosin, respectively. The half-life (mean+/-SD) of erythromycin was 3-16 h+/-0-44, while that of tylosin was 1-62 h+/-0-17.

Several cytochemical and cytophysical techniques (cytospectrophotometry, microrefractometry, and cytoelectrophoresis) were employed for elucidating the effects on the stimulation of the liver cell with high doses of isoprenaline, an amine which is known to produce hypertrophy and hyperplasia in various organs with effects also at the genetic and metabolic level.

The process of polyploidization of the liver cell (typical of this life period) was generally accelerated; in this connection, an early appearance of binucleate cells and subsequent significative variations in their incidence were observed. This fact is important as the binucleate cells should represent an alternative intermediate step in the polyploidization phenomenon. At the same time, marked, although transient, signs of cellular hypertrophy were detected during a rearrangement of the hepatocyte dry mass, where the values tended to a multimodal distribution; in particular, IPR appeared to favor the disappearance of cells with a lower mass to the advantage of those with an intermediate mass. The study of electrophoretic mobility evidenced the role of the sialomucinic component of the membrane in the changes occuring in the parenchyma: indeed, this component exhibited an increase, thus causing an acceleration of the mobility similar to the one observed in actively proliferating cell populations.

Starting from the definition of health as given by the WHO, the authors emphasize that rhythms of biological variables should be taken into account if one is to arrive at a positive and individual definition of the concept of health. The evaluation of a single datum spot check of physiological functions does not permit to quantify health in dynamic terms whereas this may become possible when the rhythmic quality of these variables, according to a spectrum of characteristic frequencies, has been assessed. Rhythmometry provides for appropriate reference standards as regards both the population in general and the physical conditions of the same subject during certain spans in the (prospective) life history (spans selected according to consideration of risk and hence cost and benefit at a given age). The authors therefore stress the importance of rhythmometry, thanks to which the time course and other peculiarities of any biological phenomenon can be evaluated by obtaining serial measurements, objectively quantifying their characteristic features, and working out special models with the aid of computers. Of special interest, particularly for the evaluation of reference standards, is autorhythmometry (AR), to be used at least for certain variables. This is the method by which each subject studies himself, performing a certain number of measurements in the course of the day (or month or year) of his body temperature, blood pressure, cardiac rhythm, grip strength, etc. In AR, the subject takes an active part in the study of his condition of health and it has been shown that in the majority of cases these measurements are done with the utmost accuracy and precision, providing that the purpose of the operations to be performed has been adequately explained. The wide spread use of AR, during more or less extended periods in a lifetime, would permit the assessment of the normal situation for each individual and thus offer the possibility of diagnosing any disorder at its very beginning; it would thus be of great prophylactic value. The authors refer to the example of arterial blood pressure; widely different values for the normal levels can be found in the texts of different authors. They also show that a certain presure may be normal for a given subject at a certain time of day and be a sign of illness for another subject, or even for the same subject at a different ime. The authors suggest the introduction of AR in the curriculum of secondary schools and into the routine for outpatients and inpatients. This practice would increase the availability of information on public health at a lower cost. AR may be very usefully applied to chronotherapy: it is a well-known fact that there are rhythms of sensitivity and therefore rhythms of toxic as well as therapeutic effects for various drugs. These can be dove-tailed in such a way as to work out, for individual cases, a time for administration at which the therapeutic effect is at its maximum and the toxic one at its minimum...", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030825"} {"pmid": "1030826", "title": "Cord blood cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoprotein electrophoresis in 124 Italian infants.", "content": "Cord blood cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoprotein electrophoresis in 124 Italian infants.

It is interesting to note that, although the Indian children as a whole, were the least heavy of the three ethnic groups, yet the growth achievement of the higher income Indian children was similar to that of the higher income Chinese children.

In the Ai river region the prevalence of goitre was 99.5%; 35% having grade 3 goitres, 55% grade 2 goitres and 9.5% grade 1 goitres. At Rubu the prevalence of endemic goitre was 74%; 3% having grade 3 goitre, 16% grade 2 goitre and 55% grade 1 goitre. In the Bajong region relatively few people were detected with goitre and most of these had migrated from other regions. Neurological cretinism was estimated at 3.6% in the severely goitrous Ai river population but was not detected in the other regions.

The haemoglobin, serum total protein and serum albumin concentrations were similar in the three populations. It is concluded that endemic goitre occurs with a frequency of close to 100% in certain Iban populations which represents one of the highest incidences of endemic goitre in the world. Neurological cretinism is common in this population. Our observations suggest that body proportions and somatic growth do not vary among similar ethnic populations exhibiting greatly different endemicity of goitre.

The result obtained were compared with those in 2 non-irrigated villages in the same province, in order to identify the health and nutritional problems which might arise during the water resource development in the irrigation area. It was found that in the irrigated villages 90% of the peoples were farmers, while in the non-irrigated villages all were farmers. The socio-economic status of the people in the irrigated villages was much better than those in the non-irrigated ones.

Anaemic children were found to be more prevalent in the non-irrigated villages than in the irrigated area. The overall parasitic infection rates in children in the irrigated and non-irrigated villages were similar with respect to severity of the infection. Hookworm infection, opisthorchiasis, strongyloidiasis and giardiasis were the leading parasitic infections, while amoebiasis was rare. Ascariasis and trichuriasis were not found. However, the first two helminthic infections had a low grade of intensity. The nutritional status of pre-school children, showed that there were more children with good growth in the irrigated villages than in the non-irrigated one.

By contrast, the neurohypophysis forms the usual central nervous core, surrounded by the adenohypophysial regions. The acidophils constituting the pro-adenohypophysis, having a deep staining affinity, resemble those in the meso-adenohypophysial region. The acidophils of the meso-adenohypophysis occupy a small region, whereas their associating cyanophils occupy a larger ventral region. The meta-adenohypophysis consists of an integral convoluted sac of epithelial amphiphilic cells. Such encloses the bulk of the neurohypophysis. It is remarkable that the neurohypophysial fibres never interdigitate among the meta-adenohypophysial cells, so they are more closely related in arrangement to tetrapods than to fishes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030913"} {"pmid": "1030914", "title": "The hypothalamic neurosecretory system of the marine teleost fish, Mugil auratus risso.", "content": "The hypothalamic neurosecretory system of the marine teleost fish, Mugil auratus risso. The hypothalamic neurosecretory system of the marinefish, Mugil auratus, consists of two nuclei, viz., the nucleus praeopticus and the nucleus laterlis tuberis. Both are paired, and while those of the nucleus praeopticus are vertically arranged as L-shaped bodies, their strand-like counterparts in the nucleus lateralis tuberis extend in an antero-posterior direction. The two constituent bodies of the nucleus praeopticus lie on both sides of the third cerebral ventricle. Each is differentiated into a dorsal pars magnocellularis and a ventral pars parvocellularis. A nervous tract, the hypothalamo-hypophysial tract, extends posteriorly from each body, but it is not until after they penetrate the pituitary gland that they fuse into one structure, the neurohypophysis. Many neurosecretory granules accumulate in the neurohypophysis adjacent to the meta-adenohypophysial region, and fewer scattered granules of varying sizes are also present along the hypothalamo-hypophysial tracts. Inner to these hypothalamo-hypophysial tracts extend the two bodies of the nucleus lateralis tuberis along the infundibular region. Axons from this nucleus extend sideways, and as they merge with those adjacently disposed of the hypothalamo-hypophysial tracts, they enter the pituitary gland as a unified structure.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030914"} {"pmid": "1030915", "title": "Electron microscopic autoradiography of serotonin uptake in the ganglia of the fresh-water mussel (Anodonta cygneak L.).", "content": "Electron microscopic autoradiography of serotonin uptake in the ganglia of the fresh-water mussel (Anodonta cygneak L.).

Semen from 58 male subjects, aged 22 to 50, was assayed on an individual basis to determine whether T was present in it. Of the subjects examined 23 were normospermic, 14 oligospermic and 9 azoospermic; 12 men had undergone vasectomy were also included in the study. In 39 of the subjects plasma testosterone was estimated. A competitive protein binding technique was employed for T assays while dried extracts of semen were examined by combined gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry and mass fragmentography. Measurable amounts of T were detected in all seminal specimens assayed. This was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry which showed a spectrum suggestive of T. The ratio of unconjugated to conjugated steroid in semen was found to be approximately 1:10. Levels of unconjgated T were similar to those found in plasma of normally menstruating women. The mean seminal concentration of unconjugated T (+/-SD) in the specimens assayed was 0.71 ng/ml+/-0.08 for the normospermic, 0.79+/-0.14 for the ezoospermic, 0.69+/-0.09 for the oligospermic, but only 0.38+/-0.04 for the vasectomized subjects. Plasma levels for this androgen were within the range found in normal men of comparable age. Significant correlation between plasma and seminal T concentration could not be demonstrated and there was no correlation between either of the above parameters and the seminal volume, the number, abnormal form percentage and the motility of spermatozooa in the normo--or oligospermic group. However, when the two groups were pooled into one, significant correlations were found between plasma, (but not seminal T concentration) and the seminal characters examined, perhaps suggesting the number of specimens from the groups should be increased to obtain valid data. Administration of human chorionic gonadotropin produced a marked plasma response as well as a rise of seminal T levels in 3 normospermic subjects whereas cyproterone acetate caused reduction of plasm T levels but had no consistent effect on the seminal concentration of ts steroid although the sensitivity of the seminal method may not have detected smaller changes at this level. The semen from 58 subjects aged 22-50 years was investigated to determine the presence of testosterone (T) in the sperm. 23 of the men were normospermic, 9 azoospermic, 14 oligospermic, and 12 had undergone vasectomy. Semen was obtained by masturbation, and blood was drawn in 39 men. A technique using separation by Sephadex LH 20 column chromatography and competitive protein binding was used for T determination. Measurable amounts of unconjugated T were found in all sepcimens; and when both the unconjugated and the conjugated fraction of T were estimated, the ratio was 1:10. The mean seminal concentration of unconjugated T was .71 ng/ml + or -.08 for the normospermic, .79 + or -.14 for the azoospermic, .69 + or -.09 for the oligospermic, and .38 + or -.04 for the vasectomized men.

Suspended sediments of azoospermic specimens were found to contain on the average 570+/-86 microng protein per ml semen. This value is about four times higher than in severe oligospermic specimens (0.2 X 10(6) -6.5 X 10(6) cells per ml semen). It is suggested that in azoospermic disorders seminiferous tubules secrete abnormally high amounts of proteinacous material which cannot be eliminated by washings. In addition, destruction of immature cells may contribute to increased protein conten in these specimens. Protein determinations in washed spermatozoa showed a negative relationship between the amount of protein calculated per 10(6) cells and original sperm counts.

D-Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase binds one Cu2+ ion per subunit, which results in the formation of a specific metal-protein complex. This complex exhibits a sharp absorption band around 370 nm, and a broad, small absorption band in the 600-700 nm region. The shape of the absorption spectrum of Cu-GAPD complex in the visible range depends on the anionic composition of the solution. The Cu-GAPD complex is stable in solutions containing phosphate or pyrophosphate anions, but undergoes a slow change in sulfate-, and a rapid change in chloride-containing solutions. The Cys-149 residue of the enzyme is essential for the formation of the Cu-GAPD complex. The sharp absorption at 370 nm presumably corresponds to a charge transfer interaction between the sulfur and the metal ion. Similar absorption bands are shown by the Cu-complexes of papain and thiol-alcalase enzymes. It is assumed that in addition to the reactive thiol groups an imidazole residue in the active site of these enzymes is also involved in the complex formation, and the specific Cu-GAPD Cu-papain and Cu-thiol-alcalase complexes contain a Cys-Cu-His chelate structure.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030921"} {"pmid": "1030922", "title": "Different scientifical orientations in approaching so-called schizophrenics.", "content": "Different scientifical orientations in approaching so-called schizophrenics.

No such corresponding significant changes were observed in the abundance of circulating erythrocytes or thrombocytes. Leucocyte sequence elicited by epinephrine was also apparent in Colisa which had been exposed to a temperature of 2 degrees C for one minute. Pretreatment with phenoxybenzamine (3.0 mg/l aquarium water), an alpha-adrenergic antagonist, abolished the cold-shock leucocytic phases, except 27 min. leucocytosis which emerged unaffected. Exogenous norepinephrine (2 microng/g) and isoproterenol (0.1 microng/g) failed to elicit any significant change in the number of circulating leucocytes, erythrocytes, or thrombocytes.

A single intraperitoneal injection of isoproterenol induces resting cells from the acini of the mouse parotid gland to enter the proliferative cycle. Parotid plasma membrane from non-stimulated and isoproterenol-treated mice were prepared by differential centrifugation of the homogenates. Comparing the chemical composition of plasma membranes from non-stimulated and isoproterenol-treated mice, no variation in the phospholipid/protein ratio was observed. However, the levels of neutral sugars, hexosamines and sialic acid fall drastically in the early prereplicative phase. The decrease in neutral sugars and hexosamines in plasma membranes caused by isoproterenol is imitated by pilocarpine, which induces secretion but little or no increase in DNA synthesis. However, pilocarpine does not mobilize sialic acid from the plasma membrane. Moreover, dosis of isoproterenol that elicits secretion but not mitosis in the acinar cells, does not induce the movement of sialic acid from the plasma membrane. The mobilization of sialic acid from plasma membranes caused by isoproterenol was also demonstrated in an in vitro system. Treatment of the plasma membrane with chloroform/methanol shows that around 60% of the sialic acid is present in the less polar phase. We conclude that the separation of sialic acid from the plasma membrane is one of the early steps in the sequence of events leading to DNA synthesis and cell division in the isoproterenol-stimulated parotid gland of mice.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1030940"} {"pmid": "1030938", "title": "Labeling of lectin receptors during the cell cycle.", "content": "Labeling of lectin receptors during the cell cycle.

The ability of bilirubin to displace antimicrobial agents from their binding sites on albumin was studied in vitro by equilibrium dialysis. Sulfonamides, tetracyclines, penicillins and cephalosporins of different degrees of protein binding were tested. It was found that bilirubin reduced the protein binding of all four classes of antimicrobial agents, although by varying degrees. This effect was most pronounced with the compounds which had the highest degree of protein binding, such as cloxacillin, cephazolin, methacycline and sulfisoxazole, all of which are bound greater than 80% by albumin. On the other hand, the drugs with less than 25% binding, such as ampicillin, cephalexine and tetracycline were not ostensibly displaced by bilirubin. Scatchard plots of the binding of sulfamethoxazole to albumin in the presence of 400 mumol/1 of bilirubin, showed that bilirubin almost completely displaced the sulfonamide molecule from the high affinity site on the albumin molecule.

The paper presents the results of ultrastructural studies on the spermiogenesis in the mite, Pergamasus viator Halaŝkova. The cysts containing 16 spermatids per cyst, are localized in the anterior part of the saccular gonad. The process of spermatid maturation has been divided into three stages: of the early spermatid, middle spermatid and late spermatid. The modifications of spermatid occuring during the spermiogenesis include: a change of cell shape, modifications of its organelles and formation of new structures like the superficial layer of cellular processes, striated bodies, granular bodies, flattened cisternae and canaliculi, central canaliculi, and stiff bands. Within the nucleus the chromatin condenses to threads or lamellae, to form subsequently several electron-dense granules. The remaining nucleoplasm is filled with an electron-dense material, which appears in the middle spermatid and gradually accumulates. The above modifications occuring in the course of spermiogenesis and their relation to the data available from the literature concerning the spermatogenesis of allied groups of animals are discussed in length.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1031232"} {"pmid": "1031234", "title": "Comparative histochemical observations on the steroid-synthesizing cellular sites in the testes of nonmammalian vertebrates.", "content": "Comparative histochemical observations on the steroid-synthesizing cellular sites in the testes of nonmammalian vertebrates.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1031234"} {"pmid": "1031236", "title": "Histology and seasonal changes in the testes of a hill-stream fish Schizothorax plagiostomus.", "content": "Histology and seasonal changes in the testes of a hill-stream fish Schizothorax plagiostomus.

The retrocerebral endocrine organs of the adult lemon-butterfly; Papilio demoleus have been described. The organs are subaortic lying closely behind the brain. While the nervi corporis cardiaci I (NCCI) originate from the protocerebrum of the brain, the NCCII seem to take their origin in the tritocerebrum in common with another nerve named earlier as the tegumentary nerve. The corpora cardiaca (CC) and corpora allata (CA) are closely approximated to each other obliterating the nervi corporis allati (NCA) which are conspicuous in the larva of the same species. An intercardiacal bridge (ICB) connects the CC of the two sides and acts as a possible centre of distribution for the neurosecretory material (NSM) to the gut. Histological evidence suggests that the NSM inside the CC remains intraaxonal without being primarily unloaded in the organs for storage. The intrinsic secretory cell of the CC are intimately associated with the neurosecretory fibres from the brain and bear fairly thick axons.

Very little correlation was found between the clearance half-times of the two types of labelled cells when the cells were labelled with 99mTc prior to heat damaging.

A closer analysis of the primary response indicated that both animal species show the same latent period and doubling time in respect of anti-'H', and the differences observed are probably the result of the number of progenitor cells stimulated by the antigen. On the other hand the suppressed response of the dog to 'O'-antigen is the result of an overall weaker response of this animal to the antigen. The secondary anti-'H' lgM response was found to be greater than, equal to, or less than the primary response in the same animal.

An increase in plasma hemoglobin sometimes occurred within few minutes after infusion of more than 10 mg/kg CPZ, probably due to a hemolytic effect of such high doses. Systemic infusion of 0.5-1 mg/kg CPZ caused an increase in urine volume, sodium excretion, and renal plasma flow, and a decrease in filtration fraction and free water clearance was demonstrated in all dogs. At higher CPZ doses renal plasma flow increased further, whereas urine volume and electrolyte excretion were of the same order at all dose levels. A 21% decrease in tubular maximum para-aminohippurate transport (Tm(PAH)) was observed at the highest CPZ doses. After unilateral renal intra-arterial CPZ infusion the percentage change in urine volume, urinary sodium excretion, and Tm(PAH) were of the same order on the infused side as on the contralateral side.

It is found that complete tibial rudiment or part of it grows normally in vitro with good differentiation of various zones and the development of osteoid tissue.

Such studies combine the advantages from mortality follow-ups on total twin populations with the detailed clinical investigation on subsamples. By examining the surviving cotwins with respect to various traits and supposed risk factors, an opportunity has been provided to study the genetic determination on the development of disease.

On the assumption that these growth-promoting macromolecules in serum are synthesized in active form in some tissue other than blood, we investigated the possibility that they may be purified more readily from specific organs than from serum. We have concentrated our efforts on two likely sources: the pituitary gland, since partially-purified preparations of pituitary hormones have been reported to stimulate the growth of cells in vitro and brain, since neural tissue is essential for the regrowth of amputated limbs in lower vertebrates capable of regeneration. Both pituitary and brain have yielded a strongly mitogenic polypeptide that we call Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF). FGF was named on the basis of early studies demonstrating its effect on fibroblastic cells: 3T3 cells, amniotic fluid-derived cells, and fibroblasts from human foreskin and mouse embryos. Further work has revealed that FGF promotes the growth of several other mesoderm-derived cell types including adrenal cells, chondrocytes, myoblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells, and vascular endothelial cells.

Lyophilization presents no particular problems and final titers in ampoules can be as high as 10(5.0) PFU, which represents about 100 subcutaneous doses. Control of rubella vaccine presents only the problem that viral CPE is absent or mild. Therefore the presence or absence of virus may have to be determined by interference. Titration of rubella virus produced in HDCS must be by plaquing in RK13 rabbit kidney cells or by interference in cynomolgus monkey kidney cells. Rubella vaccine (RA27/3 strain) produced in HDCS has been more immunogenic than other strains and retains an ability to infect intranasally as well as subcutaneously.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1031691"} {"pmid": "1031693", "title": "Mislabeling, contamination, and other sins of cultured flesh.", "content": "Mislabeling, contamination, and other sins of cultured flesh.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1031693"} {"pmid": "1031694", "title": "Towards a chemically defined medium for the growth of normal human diploid cells.", "content": "Towards a chemically defined medium for the growth of normal human diploid cells.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1031694"} {"pmid": "1031686", "title": "Tumourigenicity testing in immunosuppressed mice: advantages and disadvantages.", "content": "Tumourigenicity testing in immunosuppressed mice: advantages and disadvantages.

For all the parts involved in the production and control of virus vaccine it is important that controls of the cell material should be carried out under optimal conditions for the detection of any abnormal characteristics of the cells. The experiments reported here attempt to establish some of the optimal parameters for testing out the tumor-inducing properties of a human diploid cell culture. All experiments were carried out on 6-week old Syrian hamsters and the main objectives were: (i) to devise an optimal immunosupression scheme and (ii) to find a more suitable positive control for testing the oncogenic potential of the human diploid cells. The anti-hamster lymphocyte serum proved to be a more potent immunosuppresser than hydrocortisone succinate as seen from the development of tumors following injections with KB cells; this scheme was subsequently used in assessing the usefulness of KB and Swiss-12 cells as positive controls. The experiments lend support to the suggestion that a heteroploid fibroblastic culture (such as Swiss-12) should become a standard positive control since not only are the tumors so obtained larger and less prone to early necrosis but, more important, they bear a closer resemblance to the kind of tumors likely to be induced by the diploid cell cultures being tested.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1031687"} {"pmid": "1031692", "title": "Use of human diploid cell MRC-5, for production of measles and rubella virus vaccines.", "content": "Use of human diploid cell MRC-5, for production of measles and rubella virus vaccines.

The ECL cells in the fundic mucosa from five different groups of fasted rats were examined by means of electron microscopy; in the control animals, the majority of the secretory granule of the ECL cells contained electron-dense material. Previous studies in our laboratory indicate that this material probably represents a catecholamine. In the second and third groups, in which truncal vagotomy plus pyloroplasty was performed, the secretory granules were depleted of their content. In the fourth group in which vagotomized animals were treated with iproniazid and L-dopa, the mature secretory granules were depleted but formation of new granules was apparent. In the fifth group, in which pyloroplasty alone had been performed, the content of the granules was the same as in the control group.

Hearts were perfused successively with Ca2+-containing medium (30 min), Ca2+-free medium (5 min), and Ca2+-containing medium (5 min).

Massive release occurred as soon as these hearts were reoxygenated. It is concluded that this type of calcium-induced cell damage only occurs in the presence of ATP, or oxygen plus substrate.

We have developed a canine model of acute myocardial ischemia in which the anterior descending coronary artery is ligated, myocardial blood flow is measured using radioactive microspheres, and tissues from subendocardium and subepicardium are assayed for activity of lysosomal hydrolases:N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG), beta-glucuronidase (beta-gluc), and acid phosphatase (AP). Particulate fractions of subendocardium revealed significant depletion of of total acid hydrolases (NAG, beta-gluc, and AP) after one and two hours of ischemia. In addition, after two hours of ischemia, the total activity of these three hydrolases in the subendocardial supernatant was decreased, correlating significantly with diminished myocardial blood flow (NAG: r =0.96; beta-gluc: r = 0.95; AP: r = 0.75). The diminished enzymatic levels in thesupernatant suggested \"washout\" of the hydrolases that was more efficient in those ischemic areas that had higher myocardial flow (greater than 20% of control). These changes in distribution of lysosomal hydrolases indicate early involvement of these enzymes in the pathobiology of myocardial injury and demonstrate the dynamic relationship of \"washout\" of acid hydrolases with the degree of diminished blood flow.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1031997"} {"pmid": "1031999", "title": "Features of lysosomal proteolytic enzyme activity in infarcted myocardium.", "content": "Features of lysosomal proteolytic enzyme activity in infarcted myocardium.

Complete removal of the articular cartilage in dogs is followed by regeneration of the articular surface. At the site of the bone wound, granulation tissue develops, which later differentiates into cartilage. The O2 and glucose supply of the regenerating articular surface is ensured by the synovial fluid, by the large exposed surface of the medullary cavity, and by the capillary network of the granulation tissue. Oxygen and glucose supply of the articular surface in different stages of differentiation has been statistically analyzed. It is suggested that in the early stage of regeneration O2 supply comes predominantly from the capillaries of the granulation tissue. Later on, as capillarization regresses, the oxygen supply, originating from the synovia and medullary cavity, assumes a more important role. In the stage of cartilage regeneration an oxygen-deficient state can be supposed in the entire articular surface, but areas differing in oxygen supply may be formed owing to local differences (due mainly to the extent of vascularization and degree of generation of the subchondral bone layer). At the site of chondrogenesis, conditions allowing aerobic metabolism of cells with reduced O2 requirements seem to be ensured.

The purification of the protein inhibitor was achieved from the crude extract of deffated seeds through ammonium sulphate salting-out, successive chromatographies on Sephadex G-75 and DEAE-Sephadex A-50 columns followed by preparative polyacrylamide-slab electrophoresis. The following properties were presented by the purified inhibitor: molecular weight of 12,000 daltons, as estimated by gel filtration; isoelectric point at pH 5.0 - 5.2, by electrofocusing; combining molar ratio of 1:1 (mole trypsin/mole inhibitor), on the basis of inhibition assay and the molecular weight of 29,800 daltons found for the trypsin-inhibitor complex; A1%1-cm = 4.35, at 275 nm and pH 7.0.

The germination of freshly harvested seed is depressed following heat stress at 7--10 days after awn emergence, but is enhanced by the same stress applied 3 weeks after awn emergence. The depression is attributed to reduced viability associated with thermal injury. The stimulation following stress at more mature stages of seed development is related to a thinner seed coat, increased permeability as evidenced by faster imbibition rate, and decreased content of water-soluble inhibitors in the seed. These effects of environmental stress during seed maturation aid in explaining differences noted in the germinability at harvest of seed produced in successive years or produced in the same year at different locations.

Good quality plain skull radiographs and complete angiography prove sufficient for preoperative radiographic studies. Preoperative endocrine preparation focuses on supplemental glucocorticoids since these patients must be presumed deficient in cortisol reserve. Residual visual deficit appears to be more a function of the extent of damage at the time of ictus rather than rapidity of decompression. Our experience indicates that transsphenoidal decompression in appropriate cases offers an ideal opportunity to minimize mortality and morbidity. The acute onset of severe retro-orbital headache in association with stupor and ocular palsies would alert most physicians to the potential diagnosis of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage. The association of complex ophthalmoplegias and visual defects in this constellation of symptoms should, in addition, alert one to the possibility of an acute intrasellar or parassellar expansile process.

The arylamidase is -SH dependent and puromycin inhibited. It has activity toward lysyl and arginyl beta-naphthylamides as well as toward the beta-naphthylamides of a large variety of neutral amino acids. The enzyme is strongly substrate inhibited, making the relative order of reactivity to aminoacyl beta-naphthylamides dependent upon the substrate concentration chosen for comparison. It also shows activity toward certain di-, tri-, and oligopeptides. When more than one residue is cleaved, the release is sequential, starting from the amino terminus of the peptide. It appears therefore that pig brain neutral arylamidase is an aminooligopeptidase of broad specificity.

Intrarenal haemodynamics and glomerular dynamics have been investigated in dogs with mercuric chloride-induced acute renal failure. The early phase (12 and 24 hr after the intravenous injection of 2 mg/kg HgCl2) is characterized by some decrease in renal bloodflow, due to afferent (preglomerular) vasoconstriction, while in the later phase (48 and 72 hr after poisoning a pronounced increase in RBF due to efferent (postglomerular) vasodilatation supervenes. Urinary volumes amounts to normal in the early phase, followed by oligo-anuria in the 48 and 72 hr groups. Extraction ratio of inulin, i.e. the filtration fraction and, consequently, glomerular filtration rate show a progessive decline and trend towards zero in the 72 hr group. The pronounced decrease in glomerular capillary pressure is due to both absolute and relative increase and decrease in afferent and efferent resistances, repectively. The progressive fall in effective filtration pressure is brought about by the decrease of glomerular capillary pressure, combined with increased colloid osmotic pressure due to haemoconcentration. Total and segmental intrarenal vascular resistances are reduced by hyperosmotic mannitol infusions resulting in renal hyperaemia. Glomerular filtration rate is, however, not influenced by mannitol and effective filtration pressure remains unaltered.

Cortical circulation appeared to be autoregulated in both conditions while medullary blood flow showed moderate autoregulation in the control as well as during carotid occlusion. In contrast to expectation, medullary blood flow was not increased by the blood pressure elevation following carotid occlusion but was reduced as a consequence of the simultaneously evoked reflectory vasoconstriction. Carotid occlusion resulted in a more pronounced enhancement of vascular resistance in the medulla than in the cortex. It was concluded that non-uniform intrarenal distribution of the autoregulatory as well as the reflectory vasoconstriction left pressure and filtration rate essentially unchanged in the cortical glomeruli but increased both in the iuxtamedullary ones.

Near extracellular leads revealed that the antidromic invasion of the somadendritic membrane by excitation is a frequency dependent process (just as evoked field potentials) while spike potentials can reliably be elicited from the initial segment at high frequencies. It is assumed that the excitation spreading from the initial segment to the soma-dendritic membrane represents an important component of the evoked potentials, and their frequency dependence may be traced back to inhibitions activated by afferent impulses.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1032255"} {"pmid": "1032256", "title": "A device for evaluation of the dominant component of the EEG activity.", "content": "A device for evaluation of the dominant component of the EEG activity.

Analysis of the ORD and CD spectra of various glycosaminoglycans, as well as those of oversulphated and desulphated preparations allowed the following conclusions concerning the secondary structure. 1. For the helical structure of glycosaminoglycans a chain-length of 120 to 150 A and the presence of at least one sulphate group per two disaccharides are required. The helical structure is not influenced by binding to the protein skeleton, e.g. in proteoglycans. 2. Chiroptical properties of the glycosaminoglycan--either in themselves, or if their methylene blue complexes are studied--are determined by the degree of their sulphatation. 3. The degree of sulphatation determines the secondary structure of the molecule and thus also its biological properties. Fibrillogenesis in vitro and probably also in vivo are determined by the strength of the bond between collagen and glycosaminoglycans, in addition to the effect inducing the coordination.

This study was undertaken to examine more closely the possible effect of carbon monoxide on ALAD. Blood from 19 human volunteers was analyzed for both carboxyhemoglobin and ALAD activity. Smokers had significantly lower concentrations of ALAD than nonsmokers and a rise in carboxyhemoglobin concentration was assocaited with a fall in ALAD activity. The in vitro bubbling of carbon monoxide into human blood did not significantly effect ALAD activity. Four groups of rats (10 per group) wre exposed to carbon monoxide or dietary lead acetate according to the following design: (I) Control--no Pb or CO; (II) 500 ppm Pb acetate in diet; (III) 250 ppm CO four hours/day X 5 days/week X 4 weeks; (IV) Both Pb and CO.

The 4 principle abortion techniques are 1) dilation and curettage (D and C), 2) vacuum aspiration, 3) amniocentesis (saline injection), and 4) hysterotomy. The curettage and vacuum methods are used in the first trimester of pregnancy. Both require dilation of the cervix. The fetal material is removed with a curette or suction applied to the uterine wall. First trimester abortions usually do not require hospitalization. No abortion should be performed between 12-14 weeks. After 14 weeks, ideally 20 weeks, amniocentesis is the preferred method. It is a more complicated procedure involving removal of amniotic fluid and replacement with hypertonic saline solution, resulting in fetal death and expulsion. Oxytocin may also be used to induce labor. Reported complications run from 5-15% Hospitalization is up to 48 hours. A hysterotomy requires exposure of the uterus by a surgical opening in the abdomen. The uterus is opened and fetal material delivered. Once a hysterotomy is performed, all other pregnancies must be delivered by caesarean section. The psychological considerations of abortion have not been carefully studied under the new laws. No clear consensus exists as to the psychological aftereffect of abortion. If a woman desires an abortion and does not receive one, there is a likelihood of psychological effects, as for a woman who does not desire an abortion and receives one. Conflict occurs only when a woman is not sure of her own decision. Moral considerations imposed by abortion service personnel will also set up a conflict for the patient.

The lowering of testes weight of cadmium treated rats occured mainly due to the necrosis of seminiferous tubules, volume of which is markedly lower if compared to intact control rats. After 2 weeks of experiment a marked enlargement of the interstitial gland of the testis occured while after 12 weeks the gland is markedly lower if compared to control rats and to rats studied 2 weeks post cadmium injection.

The lymph of the copulatory organ of the cock is produced mainly in the lymphobulbus phalli. The lymph fluid passes the secretory duct with its branching lymph capillaries and discharges into the lymph-fold. From here, it is released into the interstitial tissue through gaps of the lymph capillaries but also through the intercellular spaces between the endothelial cells of the lymph capillaries. A minor portion of the lymph is produced also in the lymph-fold from where it is transported in the interstitial tissue either by transfer vesicles of the circulatory blood capillaries or by pores and fenestrae of the transudatory blood capillaries. During the erection of the copulatory organ the lymph is pressed through the intercellular spaces of the epithelial covering the lymph-fold which is cylindrical and multistratified in shape. From here, it reaches the cloacal lumen in the form of transparent fluid (TF). TF was collected by different methods. It contains immunoglobulins which arise from plasma cells of the lymph-fold. Juxtaluminally, the lymph passage takes place via zonulae pseudooccludentes. The epithelial covering secretes a mucoid substance which is added to the TF prior to its following the spermatic phase as the final fraction of the ejaculate. Plasma cells and lymphocytes migrate along the lymph flow in the intercellular spaces of the epithelial covering of the lymph-fold. After an experimental application of antigen the sub- and intraepithelial cells and lymphocytes increase in number with their portion of active cells exceeding the less active ones. The increase coincides with the increase in antibodies detected in the TF where they may cause a local immunisation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1032444"} {"pmid": "1032446", "title": "Hypertension due to renal infarction.

Suppression of renin release by beta-adrenoceptor blocking drugs has been advocated as the prime blood pressure lowering mechanism of these agents. The present report casts doubt on this proposition in three ways. In the first study, involving 22 patients with borderline hypertension, patients with elevated plasma renin levels showed normalization of the blood pressure after pharmacological autonomic blockade with intravenous atropine, propranolol and phentolamine, the time course of the pressure fall being such as to exclude suppression of renin release as the antihypertensive mechanism. It is clear that in patients with mild hypertension and high plasma renin levels, the elevation of blood pressure is maintained by a neurogenic mechanism, the elevated plasma renin having no direct role in sustaining the higher blood pressure. In two additional studies involving 21 patients in all with mild to moderately severe essential hypertension, to whom propranolol was administereed by mouth for 1--3 months, two findings were of interest:1) patients with low-renin essential hypertension showed a good antihypertensive response to propranolol, and 2) in some patients a dosedependent dissociation of the renin and blood pressure lowering action of propranolol could be demonstrated. These findings militate against the assumption that propranolol selectively lowers the blood pressure in \"renin-dependent\" hypertension, and strongly suggest that the antihypertensive action of this drug is not mediated by depression of plasma renin activity.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1032570"} {"pmid": "1032572", "title": "The effect of prindolol on plasma noradrenaline, plasma renin and sodium-potassium metabolism in patients with essential hypertension.", "content": "The effect of prindolol on plasma noradrenaline, plasma renin and sodium-potassium metabolism in patients with essential hypertension.

These findings are not subject to easy interpretation. In particular, we cannot conclude which of the changed parameters plays the initial role in lowering blood pressure.

MSUD requires complex emergency treatment to prevent severe neurologic damage, but effective management is compatible with normal growth and development. Long-term treatment requires continuous monitoring of the response to diets restricted in branched-chain amino acids; semisynthetic diet products free of branched-chain amino acids, provided by the Food Bank, are essential. Centralized treatment programs reduce the cost of treatment and maximize the potential benefits. The leucine requirement for adequate somatic growth during infancy in MSUD was found to be 200 to 600 mg/d; this range is lower than that estimated for infants with an intact leucine catabolic outflow pathway.

The apparent rate and extent of pilocarpine accumulation in the aqueous humor and the various cell layers of the cornea were determined for both intact and abraded eyes. For the first time, drug levels were monitored in the epithelium and stroma-endothelium of the intact cornea using a tissue-scraping technique. In addition, a new postinstillation rinsing method was devised to evaluate the rate of corneal uptake. The results demonstrate a dual role for the corneal epithelium, both as a barrier to drug penetration and as a reservoir for drug in the intact cornea. The transcorneal pilocarpine flux is slower than the data appear to indicate, and previous overestimates of the apparent absorption rate constant are due to parallel elimination processes occurring at the absorption site.

The use of hairbearing compound grafts for correction of alopecia due to chronic discoid lupus erythematosus, traumatic alopecia, and male pattern baldness. In this study 8 patients with alopecia due to chronic discoid lupus erythematosus (CDLE), 10 patients with traumatic alopecia (TA), and 12 patients with male pattern baldness (MPB) were treated with the punch graft method (PGM). Stastistical evaluations of the results and factors influencing the results were careied out. The mean survival rate of hairs was 72% in CDLE, 97% in TA, and 104% in MPB. The mean number of hairs in a 4 mm graft before transplantation in 30 patients and 752 grafts was found to be 18.2. This is far more than the number reported in previous publications concerning PGM owing probably to the difficulties of counting several hairs simultaneously emerging from the same pilary canal when the hair is cut to a length of 1--2mm preoperatively. For this purpose the author has developed a special photographical magnifying system. The number of hairs surviving transplantation in MPB in a 4 mm graft was about 19 hairs per graft, which is superior to previous reports. This is possibly due to some modifications of the procedure made by the author. In a control series done with the same technique as that often seen in the literature, about 50% inferior results were obtained. These results were however similar to those reported in the literature. Consequently the modifications of the procedure have been successful. Only one article with a series of 12 patients with TA treated with PGM was found in the literature. The hair survival results of the author exeeded the reported results by about 100%. The size, hardness, and elevation of the scars of the donor holes were checked statistically after various treatments. It was found that the diameter of the scar is the same regardless of type of treatment but that a signifcantly greater risk of hard and elevated scars is taken if the bald grafts are put back in the donor holes. No complications were seen in this series. PGM is a safe method that gives good hair survival results on transplanted hairs in MPB and TA, but the results vary in CDLE. In spite of the good results with PGM the author emphasizes that, although the therory of the method is simple, both the preoperative judement and the performance with its practical difficulties and many cosmetic problems is complex and requires a lot of psychological insight, practice and experience before correct preoperative judgement and a maximally good cosmetic result can be achieved.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1032729"} {"pmid": "1032730", "title": "Micturition in infants and children with normal lower urinary tract.

Two stages of Vietnam drug use are identified-a period of increasing marijuana use followed by the 1970 influx of highly potent heroin to which 1/5 of the enlisted troops were addicted at some time during their tour. The major contributing factors appear to be: (1) the need of troops in stressful combat situations for self-medication, escape, and hedonistic indulgence; (2) the relaxation of taboos against drug use in the United States; and (3) the availability of illicit drugs at low cost, which was apparently the result of profiteering by a number of South Vietnamese officials. Related to the above was the growing disenchantment with the war and the progressive deterioration in unit morale. These drugs are seen as serving many of the functions performed by alcohol in earlier millitary conflicts. There is no hard evidence that duty performance in Vietnam was seriously affected by drug use. Since 95% of those who were addicted to narcotics in Vietnam have not become readdicted, the situation does not appear to be as severe as originally supposed. Myths as to the persistence and intractibility of physiological narcotic addiction were dispelled. A major negative effect has been the difficulty that soldiers with less-than-honorable discharges due to drug abuse have had in obtaining jobs.

The luteal phase was marked by a rise in osmolality and a fall in CO2CP but no other significant changes.

Successful reproduction in the context of evolution demands no more than perpetuation of the species, but an ideal system of reproduction should also aim for high efficiency. Two basic systems have predominated: egg laying and viviparity with placental attachment of the embryo to the mother. Egg-laying is inefficient in allowing huge losses and greatly limits the size of the newborn, although it has the advantage of causing little physiological upheaval to the mother. Viviparity, on the other hand, allows the growth of a much larger fetus, offers great protection and is highly efficient. Its major disadvantage is the enormous disturbance of the mother's physiology in the interests of ensuring that the fetus will not be rejected immunologically and that a continuous supply of nutrients can be provided and waste products removed. Only the marsupial seems to have achieved a sensible compromise by producing the young at a very early stage when it is living as an egg embryo without the need for placentation, and then giving it continuous nourishment and great protection by milk feeding in an external pouch.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1032866"} {"pmid": "1032869", "title": "Serum concentrations of individual monocarboxylic short-chain fatty acids C2-C6 in underweight children.", "content": "Serum concentrations of individual monocarboxylic short-chain fatty acids C2-C6 in underweight children.

When a male mouse is presented with two H-2 congenic two female in estrus, his choice of a mate is influenced by their H-2 types. The term \"strain preference\" is used to describe the general tendency of the male population of one inbred strain to prefer two female of one H-2 type rather than another. The term \"consistency of choice\" is used to describe the added tendency of particular two males of one inbred strain, in sequential mating trials, to prefer two females of the H-2 type they chose in previous trials. Statistical analysis showed trends in the data that support the following conclusions: (a) The choice is made by the male, not the female. (b) The strain preference of two males may favor two females of dissimilar H-2 type (four of six comparisons), or of similar H-2 type (one of six comparisons). (c) Consistency of choice does not always correspond with strain preference. In one of six comparisons of H-2 genotypes there was no strain preference but pronounced consistency of choice by individual two male. This suggests memory, but fortuitous bias is not excluded. (d) Strain preference of the same male population may favor two male of the same or a different H-2 type, depending on which different H-2 type is offered as the choice alternative to self. These findings conform to a provisional model in which olfactory mating preference is governed by two linked genes in the region of H-2, one for the female signal and one for the male receptor. These mating preferences could in natural populations serve the purpose of increasing the representation of particular H-2 haplotypes or of maintaining heterozygosity of genes in the region of H-2.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1032893"} {"pmid": "1032892", "title": "Comparison of metabolism of free fatty acid by isolated perfused livers from male and female rats.", "content": "Comparison of metabolism of free fatty acid by isolated perfused livers from male and female rats. Livers from normal, fed male and female rats were perfused with different amounts of [1-14C]oleate under steady state conditions, and the rates of uptake and utilization of free fatty acid (FFA) were measured. The uptake of FFA by livers from either male or female rats was proportional to the concentration of FFA in the medium. The rate of uptake of FFA, per g of liver, by livers from female rats exceeded that of the males for the same amount of FFA infused. The incorporation by the liver of exogenous oleic acid into triglyceride, phospholipid, and oxidation products was proportional to the uptake of FFA. Livers from female rats incorporated more oleate into triglyceride (TG) and less into phospholipid (PL) and oxidation products than did livers from male animals. Livers from female rats secreted more TG than did livers from male animals when infused with equal quantities of oleate. The incorporation of endogenous fatty acid into TG of the perfusate was inhibite) by exogenous oleate. At low concentrations of perfusate FFA, however, endogenous fatty acids contributed substantially to the increased output of TG by livers from female animals. Production of 14CO2 and radioactive ketone bodies increased with increasing uptake of FFA. The partition of oleate between oxidative pathways (CO2 production and ketogenesis) was modified by the availability of the fatty acid substrate with livers from either sex. The percent incorporation of radioactivity into CO2 reached a maximum, whereas incorporation into ketone bodies continued to increase. The output of ketone bodies was dependent on the uptake of FFA, and output by livers from female animals was less than by livers from male rats. The increase in rate of ketogenesis was dependent on the influx of exogenous FFA, while ketogenesis from endogenous sources remained relatively stable. The output of glucose by the liver increased with the uptake of FFA, but no difference due to sex was observed. The output of urea by livers from male rats was unaffected by oleate, while the output of urea by livers from females decreased as the uptake of FFA increased. A major conclusion to be derived from this work is that oleate is not metabolized identically by livers from the two sexes, but rather, per gram of liver, livers from female rats take up and esterify more fatty acid to TG and oxidize less than do livers from male animals; livers from female animals synthesize and secrete more triglyceride than do livers from male animals when provided with equal quantities of free fatty acid.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1032892"} {"pmid": "1032894", "title": "High-pouch imperforate anus treated by electromagnetic bougienage and subsequent perineal repair.", "content": "High-pouch imperforate anus treated by electromagnetic bougienage and subsequent perineal repair.

Description of the inhibitory effect. Incubation of normal or thioglycollate-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages with 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-dG) inhibits the capacity of these macrophages to phagocytize IgG- or complement-coated particles via their Fc and C3 receptors. 2-dG has no inhibitory effect on the capacity of these macrophages to phagocytize latex or zymosan particles, which are ingested in the absence of specific opsonins, and it does not inhibit binding of IgG- or C3-coated particles to their respective receptors on the macrophage's plasma membrane. 2-dG exerts its inhibitory effect on the macrophage and not on the opsonized particle. The inhibition is independent of particle size, occurs within 15-30 min of addition of this glucose analogue to the medium at 37 degrees C, cannot be overcome by supra-agglutinating amounts of opsonizing antibody, and is completely reversible by substitution of 5.5 mM glucose for 50 mM 2-dG in the medium. Addition of equimolar amounts of glucose or mannose, but not of fructose, galactose, fucose, or glucosamine, to medium containing 50 mM 2-dG results in substantial reversal of the inhibitory effect of 2-dG on Fc and C3 receptor mediated phagocytosis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1032901"} {"pmid": "1032903", "title": "An improved isolation procedure for the gas chromatographic analysis of urinary polyamines.", "content": "An improved isolation procedure for the gas chromatographic analysis of urinary polyamines. The isolation of polyamines from urinary hydrolysates in a sufficiently pure state for subsequent analysis by gas chromatography has proved to be difficult. However, by using columns of Porapak-Q and ion-exchange resins, urinary hydrolysates are readily purified and formation of trifluoroacetyl derivatives of polyamines proceeds in high yield without carryover of artifacts in the gas chromatographic elution profile. Good yields from the trifluoroacetylation reaction are not achieved if large quantities of salts or urinary pigments are present. By obtaining the polyamine carbonates in the final stages of the method described, the trifluoroacetylation reaction yields excellent derivatives of nanogram or microgram amounts, particularly after standing over-night at room temperature.

It is suggested that this anxiety would be less prominent and more easily reduced if screening were done under conditions of ordinary primary medical care rather than outside the conventional system. 2 studies (1 retrospective and 1 prospective) were conducted on participants in Tay-Sachs screening programs to assess the personal impact of the experience and their sense of fulfillment of the program's promise. All of the noncarriers felt relief on learning of the results of the test; 48.8% of the carriers and 42% of the carrier's spouses reported a sense of anxiety. 4 kinds of concern were expressed by the carriers and their spouses: 1) a sense of being \"singled out\" and having an imperfection, 2) dismay that children might inherit the gene, 3) anxiety which was allayed by instruction, and 4) distress in pregnant couples, eased by instruction.

Macromolecules can easily be incorporated in microparticles of polyacrylamide by copolymerization with acrylamide in a water-in-oil emulsion. The microparticles preferably arount 1-3 mum in diameter, will have a macroporous structure formed by the polymeric network. The amount of incorporation of the macromolecules will depend on the structure of the network, which, in turn, will depend on the total amount of monomer (T) and the relative amount of cross-linking agent (C) in the monomeric solution. Two mechanisms are responsible for the incorporation; all macromolecules are, independently of the size, fixed in the threads of polyacrylamide and large ones are entrapped within the network formed by the threads. The amount entrapped will depend on the size of the macromolecule and the mean pore radius of the gel. In microparticles with a total concentration of monomers of 8% and a cross-linking of 25% (T-C=8-25) the biological properties of incorporated macromolecules are retained, due to the macroporous structure, as found in binding studies with albumin. The density of the particles will also depend on C and T and, to some extent, on the protein concentration. Due to the fixation in the polyacrylamide threads, some of the incorporated macromolecules will be exposed on the surface, allowing them to react with, for instance, cells, which cannot penetrate the particles. The optimal conditions for the incorporation of macromolecules in the microparticles are investigated.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1032993"} {"pmid": "1032992", "title": "Fluorescence energy-transfer measurements between the calcium binding site and the specificity pocket of bovine trypsin using lanthanide probes.", "content": "Fluorescence energy-transfer measurements between the calcium binding site and the specificity pocket of bovine trypsin using lanthanide probes.

The isozyme is not present in phagocytic vacuoles isolated with latex beads. The isozyme disappears from cells removed from nutrient medium and does not reappear during differentiation. When inhibitors of protein synthesis (e.g. cycloheximide, chloral hydrate, concanavalin A) are added to cells growing in nutrient medium, acid phosphatase I is rapidly lost. It appears that the level of protein synthesis need only be moderately reduced (less than 25%) to induce loss of enzyme activity. Treatment with inhibitors of DNA and RNA synthesis for up to 2 h had no effect on isozyme activity. It is postulated that the cells are able to \"sense\" (through the reduction in levels of protein synthesis) when external conditions become unfavorable, and immediately respond by reducing the activity of enzymes involved in maintaining contact with the extracellular environment.

Purified cellobiohydrolase C has an E1%/280 nm = 14.2 and degrades both microcrystalline and phosphoric acid-swollen cellulose to cellobiose. The cellobiohydrolase C contains 26.4, 4.8, 2.4 and 3.4 mol of mannose, glucose, galactose and glucosamine, respectively, per mol of enzyme (molecular weight, 48 400). Methylation analysis of cellobiohydrolase glycopeptides indicates an average carbohydrate chain length of two residues. Alkaline borohydride treatment of cellobiohydrolase C released neutral carbohydrate which is bound through an average of 16.7 O-glycosidic linkages to serine and threonine per molecule of enzyme. Glucosamine was not released from the protein by alkaline treatment. Analysis of alkaline borohydride-released carbohydrate by high pressure liquid chromatography demonstrated that an average enzyme molecule contains 8.8 mono-, 1.8 di-, 4.6 tri-, 1.2 tetra-, and 0.4 pentasaccharide chains. The linkages between the neutral monosaccharides are (1 leads to 6) as shown by gas chromatography - mass spectrometry of partially methylated residues.

After post-lesion survival times of 3-14 days the cats were sacrificed, and the degeneration resulting from the lesions was followed with the use of modified Nauta silver stains. Four additional cats were used as anatomic controls. Degenerating fibers were observed to descend bilaterally through the midbrain, pontine, and medullary tegmentum to the vicinity of the principal sensory and motor nuclei of the trigeminal nerve. There was, in addition, evidence of degenerating terminals within the nucleus of the facial nerve and the spinal nucleus of the trigeminal nerve. Of particular note was the observation that the degenerating fibers in the region of the nucleus of the spinal tract of the trigeminal nerve terminated in glomeruli in the rostral portion of the nucleus.

The endothelial cells were fenestrated, providing the basis for the extravasated exudate that is characteristic of the tumor. The pericytes were completely surrounded by casement membranes and displayed no significant lipidization; in a cellular plaque of vasular tissue at the base of the lesion, however, some of the multilaminar pericytes showed evidence of early smooth muscle differentiation. The stromal cells contained abundant lipid vacuoles and a few organelles, and exhibited granular degeneration of cytoplasmic filaments between the lipid vacuoles. There was spotty basement membrane formation where the stromal cells abutted on the vascular elements.

Despite the absence of yolk, the endodermal epithelium shows a high degree of differentiation and activity, especially in the period between the 25th and the 38th day. Large stacks of RER, abundant SER, mitochondria enveloped by RER cisternae, and a peculiar type of lysosome are the most prominent organelles. Acid phosphatase, succinic dehydrogenase and NAD- and NADP-diaphorases are found with high activity, whereas the 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase assay stains the endothelium only moderately.

In view of the apparent immaturity of the liver parenchymal cells at this stage, the yolk sac endoderm of cat is suggested to act as an important extraembryonic site of biosynthesis.

The 2H NMR data show that cholesterol induces a high degree of order in the acyl chains of the phospholipid while maintaining the general profile of high order near the head group and relatively low order in the middle of the bilayer. This results in a pronounced thickening of the bilayer and concomitant decrease in the average molecular area of the fatty acyl chains. The giometrical changes in the bilayer due to cholesterol are discussed in terms of trans-gauche isomerization in the fatty acyl chains. The picture of the condensing effect revealed by 2H NMR is consistent with that from previous X-ray diffraction experiments.

The proportion of these categories varies with the time elapsed since the injection of antigen and with the plaque-forming activity of the population: lymphocytes (-) are relatively more numerous (over 30%) at the early stages of immunization (day 7). The number of plasmacytes increases with immunization. If most of them contain intracellular antibody at the early stages (up to day 9), the proportion of plasmacytes (+) decreases markedly afterwards. The cell type distribution is compatible with the idea that the lymphocytes are the precursors of plasmacytes, proplasmacytes being transitional forms, but no direct filiation scheme can actually be deduced from these experiments.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033066"} {"pmid": "1033068", "title": "B cell tolerance induced by polymeric antigens.

Kinetics and reversibility of the inhibition of antibody-forming cells by antigen. Injection of mice already making antibodies to 2,4-dinitrophenylated (DNP) Ficoll with tolerizing doses of DNP-pneumococcal polysaccharide (DNP-lys-S3) markedly inhibits the secretion of anti-DNP antibodies by IgM antibody-forming cells. The present study shows that the degree of inhibition depends not only on the dose of DNP-lys-S3 but also on the duration of exposure to antigen. DNP-lys-S3 was detectable on the surface of antibody-forming cells at a time when their rate of secretion was unimpaired, thus suggesting that the inhibition involves intracellular events subsequent to the binding of antigen to the cell membrane. The inhibition was reversible if antibody-forming cells were exposed to antigen for 24 h, and then cultured for 18 h in its absence, but became irreversible if the treatment period was extended to 48 h. The relevance of this model of inhibition of lymphocyte function by antigen to possible mechanisms of B cell tolerance is discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033068"} {"pmid": "1033069", "title": "In vitro synthesis of factor B of the alternative pathway of complement activation by mouse peritoneal macrophages.", "content": "In vitro synthesis of factor B of the alternative pathway of complement activation by mouse peritoneal macrophages.

Selective large scale destruction of mesolimbic dopamine-containing terminals is produced by bilateral injection of 8 mug of 6-hydroxydopamine (6OHDA) into the nucleus accumbens septi (NAS) of rats pretreated with pargyline and desipramine (DMI). The DMI prevents the destruction of the noradrenergic innervation of the forebrain normally produced by the NAS 6OHDA lesion, without affecting the destruction of dopamine-containing neurons. The locomotor stimulation produced by the psychostimulants d-amphetamine (1.5 mg/kg) and cocaine (20 mg/kg) is blocked in rats with selective destruction of the mesolimbic dopamine system. In contrast the locomotor stimulation produced by the directly acting dopamine agonist apomorphine (1.0 mg/kg) is enhanced, which may indicate supersensitivity of the denervated dopamine receptors. These results lend further support to the view that psychostimulant-induced locomotr stimulation in rats results from effects on mesolimbic dopamine neurons. In addition, the protection by DMI of noradrenergic neurons from the toxic effects of 6OHDA is evidence that 6OHDA, as used here, destroys catecholamine neurons mainly by an uptake-dependent specific mechanism.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033072"} {"pmid": "1033073", "title": "p-Chloroamphetamine: short and long term effects upon shock-elicited aggression.", "content": "p-Chloroamphetamine: short and long term effects upon shock-elicited aggression.

Enzymically active intermediates formed during oxidation of the reduced protein. The material obtained from reduced hen egg white lysozyme after complete air oxidation at pH 8.0 and 37 degrees has yielded, by gel filtration on a Bio-Gel P-30 column, enzymically active species and an enzymically inactive form which eluted sooner than the active species but later than expected for a dimer of lysozyme. Reduced lysozyme also elutes at the same position as this inactive material. Examination of the fragments produced on CNBr cleavage of the inactive form indicates that at least 24% of the population contains incorrect disulfide bonds involving half-cystine residues 6, 30, 115, and 127. Tryptophan fluorescence and the intrinsic viscosity of the inactive form show an enlarged molecular domain with a disordered conformation. The yield of the inactive form increases as the oxidation of reduced lysozyme is accelerated using cupric ion. In the presence of 4 X 10(-5) M cupric ion, reduced lysozyme forms almost quantitatively the inactive form, which is almost completely converted to the native form by sulfhydryl-disulfide interchange catalyzed by thiol groups of either reduced lysozyme or beta-mercaptoethanol. The material trapped by alkylation of the free sulfhydryl groups with [1-14C]iodoacetic acid during the early stage of air oxidation of reduced lysozyme was fractionated by gel filtration to permit separation of the active species from the inactive form. Ion exchange chromatography of the active species yielded completely renatured lysozyme and three major enzymically active radioactive derivatives. Two of these derivatives contained approximately 2 mol of S-carboxymethylcysteine. Isolation and characterization of radioactive tryptic peptides from each of the three active forms, permitted the identification of Cys 6 and Cys 127, Cys 76 and 94, and Cys 80 as the sulfhydryl groups alkylated in these three incompletely oxidized, partially active forms. Thus, it appears that the interatomic interactions maintaining the compact three-dimensional structure of native lysozyme are operational even when one of these three native disulfide bonds between Cys 6 and Cys 127, Cys 76 and Cys 94, and Cys 64 and 80 is open.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033181"} {"pmid": "1033182", "title": "Ultrasonographic evaulation of breast masses.", "content": "Ultrasonographic evaulation of breast masses.

Freeze fractures through the end-on attachment site of the acrosomal filament bundles in Mytilus (mussel) and Limulus (horseshoe crab) sperm and the attachment site of the microvillar filament bundles in the brush border of intestinal epithelial cells were examined. There are no particles on the P face of the membrane at these sites in the sperm systems and generally none at these sites in microvilli. In microvilli, the actin filaments are also attached along their lengths to the membrane by bridges. When the isolated brush border is incubated in high concentrations of Mg++ (15 mM), the actin filaments form paracrystals and, as a result, the bridges are in register (330 A period). Under these conditions, alignment of the particles on the P face of the membrane into circumferential bands also occurs.

The gel which forms on warming the extracts of the cytoplasmic proteins of sea urchin eggs has been separated into two fractions, one containing F-actin and the other containing two proteins of 58,000 and 22,000 mol wt. When combined in 0.1 M KCl, even at 0 degrees C, these components will form gel material identical to that formed by warming extracts. This gel is a network of laterally aggregated F-actin filaments which are in register and which display a complex cross-banding pattern generated by the presence of the other two proteins. Low concentrations of calcium block the assembly of these proteins to form this complex structure, which may play some cytoskeletal role in the cytoplasm. This association of F-actin with the other proteins to form a gel is very likely the last step fo the process occurring in warmed extracts. At low temperatures, gelation of extracts is limited by the relative absence of F-actin, as demonstrated by the inability to sediment it at 100,000 g and also by the fact that gelation occurs immediately if exogenous F-actin is added to cold extracts. The transformation of the G-actin present in the extract to the F-form is apparently repressed at low temperatures. This is shown directly by the failure of added G-actin to polymerize at low temperatures in the presence of extract.

Oxygen contents were determined simultaneously in 48 sets (umbilical artery and vein) to relate fetal oxygen consumption to amino acid uptake via the umbilical circulation.

The umbilical uptake of some neutral and basic amino acids (e.g., valine, leucine, isoleucine, arginine, phenylalanine, and tyrosine) is in considerable excess of estimated growth requirements, suggesting that some amino acids undergo extensive transamination and oxidative degradation in the fetus.

In trial 1 addition of urea, biuret, or ammonia-molasses to a 12% diet to make a 16% crude protein diet allowed gains and weights indistinguishable from those on a 12 or 16% crude protein soybean meal ration. In another trial, addition of urea, biuret, or ammonium propionate to a 10% ration to make a 14% ration allowed insignificantly greater gains and body weight.

Calves fed a 17% crude protein ration from several protein sources plus alfalfa hay gained no much than those fed the 12 to 16% crude protein rations. Regression analysis relating dry matter and protein intake to body weight or gains indicated both dry matter intake and protein percentage were about equally important from day 41 to 72 and that after this age dry matter intake was of much greater importance than protein percentage. Protein intake expressed as g/day was not of importance in this regression. Weaning at day 42 allowed for greater body weight and gains than weaning at day 32.

Flavor differences in samples from the edge of the slices of lamb and of pork and tenderness of lamb appeared to be related to cooking method. For these attributes, meat cooked conventionally was superior. In contrast, patterns in significant differences in tenderness and juiciness of beef and of pork were not consistent and were not related solely to method of cookery. Neither creatine nor creatinine was a good index of flavor of meat cooked by these methods.

The present study demonstrated that two inhibitors of prostaglandin synthesis, meclofenamate and indomethacin, prevent loss of pulmonary vasoconstriction due to hypoxia when sublethal doses of endotoxin are administered. This suggests that endotoxin may stimulate the production of a dilator prostaglandin which would oppose the hypoxic vasoconstriction, but other ways in which these inhibitor drugs might act are considered. Endotoxin damages platelets and leukocytes, both of which can form prostaglandins and could be the source of a dilator prostaglandin. However, in these experiments endotoxin abolished the hypoxic pressor response in dogs rendered severely thrombocytopenic by platelet antiserum. This suggests that platelets are not involved.

Isoimmune anti-L serum, known to stimulate active K transport in LK sheep red cells, inhibits iMLK about twofold. iMLK is affected by changes in intracellular K concentration, [K]i, in a complex fashion: increasing [K]i from near zero stimulates iMLK, while further increases in [K]i, above 3 mmol/liter cells, inhibit iMLK. The passive K influx is not mediated by K-K exchange diffusion. The effects of anti-L antibody and [K]i on passive cation transport are specific for K: neither factor affects passive Na transport. The common characteristics of passive and active K influx suggest that iMLK is mediated by inactive Na-K pump sites, and that the inability to translocate Na characterizes the inactive pumps.

However, anti-L has no effect on iMLK in these cells, apparently because reticulocytes do not have the inactive pump sites which, in mature LK cells, are a consequence of the process of maturation of circulating LK cells. The results also indicate that anti-L alters the maximum velocity of both active and passive K fluxes by converting pumps sites from a form mediating passive K influx to an actively transporting form.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033265"} {"pmid": "1033266", "title": "Ultrastructure of an indigotin-producing dome mutant of Schizophyllum commune.", "content": "Ultrastructure of an indigotin-producing dome mutant of Schizophyllum commune.

Ultrastructure of the placental barrier.", "content": "Studies on the equine placenta II. Ultrastructure of the placental barrier. In early pregnancy the equine placenta consists of a simple apposition of fetal and maternal epithelia, but it becomes more complex with the formation of microcotyledons between 75 and 100 days of gestation. Although the placental barrier maintains an epitheliochorial arrangement throughout the course of pregnancy, a thinning of the maternal epithelium and a progressive indentation of the chorionic epithelium by fetal capillaries shortens the length of the diffusion pathway and reduces the amount of placental tissue between fetal and maternal bloodstreams. These structural modifications may reflect the changing requirements of the fetus for O2 and other metabolites as gestation proceeds. During the first 200 days of pregnancy there is evidence of intense pinocytotic activity by the cells of the trophoblast. From the 100th day of pregnancy there is a pronounced development of smooth endoplasmic reticulum, while rough endoplasmic reticulum and irregular, dense, membrane-bound bodies are a prominent feature of the paranuclear cytoplasm from Day 200. These changes suggest that the cells of the trophoblast become more highly involved in synthetic processes with increasing gestational age. The ultrastructure of the equine placenta was observed on gestation Days 46, 61, 75, 98, 101, 150, 200, 250, and 300 in Welsh Mountain Ponys mares. In early pregnancy, up to 75 days, when the placenta is epitheliochorial, the trophoblast forms a wide band of columnar epithelium with large nuclei, pinocytotic vesicles, and a defined basal lamina beneath the fetal vessels. Maternal epithelium has branched microvilli, spherical nuclei, droplets of mucopolysaccharide, and a moderately thick capillary endothelium. From Days 100-200 the villi and crypts of the microcotyledons develop. The trophoblast shows larger pin ocytocic vesicles (.5 MCM), extensive smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and the fetal capillaries indent into the trophoblast. Maternal epithelium becomes progressively thinner. In the last trimester the trophoblast becomes thinner with nuclei and mitochondria near the indented capillaries, and dense bodies apical to the nucleus. By this time the maternal epithelium is only 1/3 its original thickness, with few organelles except Golgi, mitochondria, and an irregular and sometimes pyknotic nucleus. The ultrastructure supports the idea that the trophoblast may be synthesizing steroids in the later stages of pregnancy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033277"} {"pmid": "1033278", "title": "Effect of intravasal copper on the fertility of rats.", "content": "Effect of intravasal copper on the fertility of rats.

Treatment of pregnant rats with 1 mg indomethacin/kg twice daily i.m. beginning on Day 20 delayed the onset of parturition by about 21 hr and prolonged the duration of spontaneous parturition by 4 hr. Plasma progesterone and oestradiol levels were determined in daily samples of peripheral blood, and uterine contractions were recorded before and during parturition by means of small, chronically implanted intrauterine balloons which were connected to pressure transducers via fluid-filled catheters. Indomethacin treatment did not inhibit or suppress spontaneous or oxytocin-induced contractions, which were of the same intensity in indomethacin-treated as in control rats. Parturition was induced with oxytocin in the same proportion of treated and control rats, but its induction was not successful in treated rats until 1 day later than in control rats, but its induction was not successful in treated rats until 1 day later than in controls. The onset of parturition was always related to the plasma progesterone level, which declined at a slower rate in indomethacin-treated than in control rats, reaching baseline values approximately 1 day later in the treated animals. The appearance of 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in the CL of pregnant rats normally occurs on Day 21 of gestation, but activity was not observed until about 1 (0-3) day later in the indomethacin-treated rats, indicating that luteolysis was retarded. Prostaglandin F-2alpha infusions given on Day 21 reversed the effects of indomethacin treatment on plasma progesterone, luteal 20alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity and the timing and duration of parturition, and reduced the high perinatal mortality associated with indomethacin treatment, suggesting that the effects of indomethacin were related to its inhibitory action on prostaglandin synthetase activity. It is concluded that, in rats, indomethacin exerts its effects on parturition through inhibition of luteal regression which was significantly retarded but not prevented, and that indomethacin does not have a direct effect on myometrial contractility.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033279"} {"pmid": "1033283", "title": "Progestagen dynamics in preovulatory follicles of rats.", "content": "Progestagen dynamics in preovulatory follicles of rats.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033283"} {"pmid": "1033281", "title": "Sialic acid and hexosamine concentrations in cervical nucus in different breeds of cows and buffalo at estrus.", "content": "Sialic acid and hexosamine concentrations in cervical nucus in different breeds of cows and buffalo at estrus.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033281"} {"pmid": "1033284", "title": "Induction of regression in the ovine corpus luteum by ICI 80,996, an analogue of prostaglandin F-2alpha.", "content": "Induction of regression in the ovine corpus luteum by ICI 80,996, an analogue of prostaglandin F-2alpha.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033284"} {"pmid": "1033280", "title": "Concentration of steroids in bovine peripheral plasma during the oestrous cycle and the effect of betamethasone treatment.", "content": "Concentration of steroids in bovine peripheral plasma during the oestrous cycle and the effect of betamethasone treatment.

In comparison, the number of L antigens is slightly lower in LK cells, about 1.2-1.8 x 10(3) in LL and less in LM(LK) red cells. The number of M and L antigens, therefore, is more than an order of magnitude larger than that of the Na+K+ pumps measured previously in these cells by 3H-ouabain binding, thus precluding a quantitative correlation between M and L antigens and the Na+K+ pumps different in the three genetic types of sheep red cells.

Several of the compounds that showed both resonably high binding affinities and inactivation efficiencies have been prepared in high specific activity, tritium-labeled form. Direct binding measurements with these derivatives in unpurified rat uterine receptor preparations, show that while these compounds bind to the receptor, they also show considerable nonspecific binding to nonreceptor proteins. Irradiation of these derivatives in rat uterine cytosol preparations results in incorporation of large amounts of radioactivity into protein in a covalent fashion.

The constant difference in flow rates between the two lines, 7 mul per minute, is probably due to impaired choroid plexuow rates between the two lines, 7 mul per minute, is probably due to impaired choroid plexus function of the hydrocephalic cats. The osmotic pressure gradient that causes the flow of fluid is therefore probably between blood and brain. Under these conditions changes in brain water content of hydrocephalic cats were smaller than in normals and can be related to the edema present in this disorder. Despite the inflammatory response to kaolin, the blood-brain barrier remains intact.

The results of model experiment made of resin were 85 dB, SPL, at the speaker, 76 dB, SPL, at the end of tubal catheter and 78 dB, SPL, at the external auditory meatus. In the model experiment it was also demonstrated that the height of spike waves depends on the extent of tubal opening and that the continuity of spike waves depends on the duration of tubal opening. Furthermore, in the present method, there was no so-called basic amplitude, seemingly due to the resonant effects or the direct passing sound, and the opening phenomena were correctly expressed. In the measurement on normal adults it was found that variability of the spike wave pattern between subjects was largely depending on individual subjects, and also some intra-subject variability of successively recorded spike waves on the same subject was noted.

The development of a secondary reinforcer as a result of associating a neutral stimulus (buzzer) with intravenous (IV) doses of morpine was studied in rats. Secondary reinforcement developed in the absence of physical dependence and followed the association of the stimulus with either response-contingent or non-contingent injections of morphine. Strength of the conditioned reinforcer, measured in terms of responding on a lever for the stimulus plus infusion of saline solution, was proportional to the unit dosage of morphine employed in pairings of buzzer and drug. When extinction of the lever-press response for IV morphine was conducted (by substituting saline for morphine solution) in the absence of the conditioned reinforcing stimulus, it was seen later that the stimulus could still elicit lever responses, until it too had been present for a sufficient interval of non-reinforced responding. Similarly, extinction of the response for morphine by blocking its action with naloxone in the absence of the stimulus did not eliminate the conditioned reinforcement. Another study showed that a passive, subcutaneous (SC) dose of morphine served to maintain lever-pressing on a contingency of buzzer plus saline infusion. Furthermore, the stimuli resulting from the presence of morphine (after a SC injection) were able to reinstate the lever-responding with only the buzzer-saline contingency when such responses had previously been extinguished. Moreover, it was shown that d-amphetamine could restore responding under the same conditions, and that morphine could also do so for rats in which the primary reinforcer had been d-amphetamine. It is suggested that animal data such as these show that procedures designed for the elimination of human drug-taking behavior must take into account secondary reinforcers as well as the primary reinforcer(s).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033507"} {"pmid": "1033513", "title": "Tension pneumothorax: a teaching model.", "content": "Tension pneumothorax: a teaching model.

Individual kidney function and intrarenal blood flow response to saline loading (7.5% body weight) were measured in each condition and all data are reported as the average of a single kidney.

The carbon balances in isolated perfused rat liver during gluconeogenesis from L-alanine and sodium L-lactate indicate that assuming the substrate unaccounted for were fully oxidized the energy yielded was not sufficient to support the observed rates of glucose synthesis. This observation indicates that endogenous substrates must also be oxidized. The possibility that endogenous fatty acid oxidation was the source of the energy needed to support glucose synthesis was investigated by measuring the rate of 14CO2 formation from tracer quantities of added [U-14C] palmitate. Short pulses of L-alanine or sodium L-lactate infusion produced an increased rate of 14CO2 production paralleled by increases in oxygen uptake indicating that more endogenous fuel is being mobilized. That the rate of 14CO2 output is an expression of fatty acid mobilization was supported by experiments demonstrating that the addition of octanoate to dilute the fatty acid pool produced an immediate fall in the rate of 14CO2 output. On the other hand, the administration of glucose produced no changes in oxygen uptake or 14CO2 output. However, lactate even in the presence of glucose induced a rise in 14CO2 production which occurred in parallel with the enhancement in oxygen uptake. It is concluded that mobilization of hepatic endogenous fatty acid is a metabolic event intimately associated with enhancement of gluconeogenesis.

Oxygen consumption of the carotid body tissue can be determined by measuring the local deltaPo2 deltat with Po2 needle electrodes after Krebs-Henseleit perfusion. Assuming the same deltaPo2 deltat for the blood-perfused carotid body the actual Po2 decrease can be used to estimate the hemoglobin content of the tissue. The influence of hemoglobin is described by the factor alpha/alpha. Control values measured in the Krebs-Henseleit-perfused carotid body yielded values of alpha/alpha = 0.8-3. In a series of 11 blood-perfused carotid body preparations with 105 perfusion stops the quotient alpha/alpha changed with arterial Po2. At Po2 values higher than 100 Torr alpha/alpha was between 0.8 and 2. This value thus was in the same range as the control values. Below 100 Torr higher values up to 11 were observed.

The magnitude of the outward current tail was a sigmoid function of the amplitude of the preceding depolarization. The degree of activation of this current varied from 0 at about -50 mV to 1 at about +20 mV. The time course of the current change was a simple exponential and was independent of the preceding depolarization. The reciprocal time constant appeared to be a U-shaped function of the membrane potential with a minimum value of about 3s-1 at -40 mV.

The reversal potential, obtained between 10 and 50 mM [K]o, decreased with a slope of 58 mV for a 10-fold increase in [K]o.

The maximum rate of rise of action potentials in myocardial fibers of the rabbit atrium decreases with an increase in heart rate. This decrease of the dV/dt max is accompanied by a decrease of the diastolic transmembrane potential prior to the moment of activation (take-off potential). Comparison of the membrane responsiveness curve (relation between dV/dt max and take-off potential) as measured by varying the extracellular potassium concentration at a fixed rate of stimulation, with the effect of changes in the frequency of stimulation on dV/dt max and take-off potential made clear that the fall in dV/dt max after a sudden increase in heart rate was stronger than could be explained by the concomitant decrease of the take-off potential alone. This implicates that the membrane responsiveness itself is heart rate dependent. A possible explanation for this observation is that when heart rate is increased the active Na/K pump is not able to maintain the intracellular concentration of Na and K at the original level. Acceleration of the heart will lead to an intracellular loss of potassium and a gain of sodium. The first causes a diminishment of the diastolic membrane potential which according to the membrane responsiveness curve is attended with a decrease of the dV/dt max. The second results in a decrease of the sodium concentration gradient and therefore in a further reduction of the dV/dt max. This hypothesis was confirmed by experiments with ouabain added to the perfusion fluid. Ouabain, which is known to inhibit the Na/K pump, caused a decrease of both the take-off potential and dV/dt max that was completely comparable with the effects of an increase of the frequency of stimulation. In addition, observation of the time course of the changes in dV/dt max and membrane \"resting\" potential after a sudden change in the rate of stimulation, gave support to the electrogenic concept of the active Na/K pump in cardiac muscle.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033524"} {"pmid": "1033531", "title": "Single nephron glomerular filtration rate ratios of superficial, intercortical and juxtamedullary nephrons in rats during development.", "content": "Single nephron glomerular filtration rate ratios of superficial, intercortical and juxtamedullary nephrons in rats during development.

After one hour of fasting, total plasma amino acid concentration decreased to approximately half of the full-fed value. Within three to six hours, most amino acids had returned toward the full-fed level but did not exceed it throughout a 48 hour period of starvation. However, after 48 hours fasting lysine, threonine, and isoleucine accumulated three-fold, two-fold and two-fold of the full-fed level, respectively. Serine and glutamic acid exceeded the full-fed level at three hours and then declined. Alanine reached its highest level after six hours of fasting and then declined. In full-fed chicks diurnal variations of plasma free amino acid concentrations were observed. The lowest and highest concentrations were observed at 11 a.m. and 8 to 11 p.m., respectively under a 24 hr-lighting. Reference plasma amino acid patterns are reported for chicks fed a practical diet ad libitum. In day-old chicks, concentrations of total amino acids, methionine plus one half cystine, lysine, and arginine were high. Alanine and glutamic acid concentrations were low. Most amino acid concentrations declined gradually during the first four weeks of life, but methionine plus one half cystine, phenylalaine, threonine and serine concentrations decreased sharply between two and four weeks. Lysine concentration continued to decrease in chicks fed the starter diet. At 20 weeks, plasma amino acid concentrations had decreased considerably except for methionine plus one half cystine and basic amino acids.

Furthermore, nicotine (0.075-0.500 mg/kg) was found to produce a dose-dependent suppression of natural predatory behavior as well. This nicotine-produced suppression of attack did not appear to be due to the induction of general malaise, since attack suppression could be seen in the absence of general behavioral inhibition, and doses of nicotine resulting in complete suppression of attack had little effect on food intake.

Cleft palate is a useful experimental model, illustrating a number of factors that contribute to palate closure, the nature of a developmental threshold, and how genes and teratogens can alter the components of liability to increase the probability of cleft palate. The nature of the genetic component to liability in human malformations in not clear, and various possibilities, ranging from polygenic in the strict sense to a major gene with reduced penetrance are compatible with the data -- but the important feature is the threshold. Much of the confusion over the concept results from inconsistent use of terminology. The term \"multifactorial\" should be used for \"determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors,\" without reference to the nature of the genetic factor(s). \"Polygenic\" should be reserved for \"a large number of genes, each with a small effect, acting additively.\" When several genes, with more major effects are involved, \"multilocal\" can be used. When it is not clear which of these is applicable the term \"plurilocal\" is suggested, in the sense of \"genetic variation more complex than a simple Mendelian difference.\" Since teratological data often represent threshold characters the concept also has important implications for the interpretation of data on dose-response curves, synergisms, and strain differences in response to teratogens.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033611"} {"pmid": "1033612", "title": "Inhibition of pinocytosis in rat yolk sac by trypan blue.", "content": "Inhibition of pinocytosis in rat yolk sac by trypan blue. Day 17.5 yolk sacs from rats injected with partially denatured 125I-labeled bovine serum albumin (I-BSA) were cultured in vitro by a raft technique. The rates of release of [125I]iodotyrosine were similar in control yolk sacs and in yolk sacs from rats preinjected with trypan blue. Day 17.5 rat yolk sacs were also cultured in medium containing I-BSA. Following pinocytic uptake the substrate was degraded intracellularly and [135I]iodotyrosine released into the medium. Trypan blue, when present in the medium in concentrations above 100 mug/ml, inhibited pinocytosis of I-BSA and so decreased the rate of [125I]iodotyrosine production. Trypan blue similarly decreased the rate of pinocytic uptake of 125I-labeled polyvinylpyrrolidone. Pinocytic uptake of macromolecules was not decreased in yolk sacs from rats pretreated with trypan blue. The relevance of these results to the mechanism of teratogenic action of trypan blue is discussed. It is proposed that if trypan blue in teratogenic doses similarly inhibits pinocytosis by the yolk sac during the organogenetic period teratogenesis might result from a transient interruption in the flow of metabolites through the yolk sac to the embryo.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033612"} {"pmid": "1033613", "title": "Primary cardiac Kaposi's sarcoma.", "content": "Primary cardiac Kaposi's sarcoma.

The procedure used was to allow a radioactive tracer dose of the vitamin to equilibrate into the folate polyglutamyl pool. After various storage periods and treatments the polyglutamyl state of the folate present was examined by analytical techniques based on oxidative degradation of native folate polyglutamates to the corresponding p-aminobenzoylpolyglutamate followed by chromatographic separation on DEAE cellulose anion exchange resin. Identification of folate polyglutamates present was made by simultaneous elution of known p-aminobenzoylpolyglutamate markers. In an intact tissue sample only slight degradation was found after 48 hr at 4 C; complete degradation of folate polyglutamates taking 120 hr. Samples of homogenized tissue show complete degradation to folate monoglutamates and a small amount of diglutamate after 48 hr storage.

Our studies of the practice patterns of Michigan obstetrician-gynecologists indicate that they serve in a dual capacity: that of primary physicians to women and that of specialist obstetrician-gynecologists. They provide a considerable amount of general medical care for their own patients in the former role, and traditional specialist services for their own patients and for those referred by other physicians in the latter. The objectives and educational content of most house officer training programs do not reflect these changes. Training is directed almost exclusively toward preparing residents for specialty practice and often does not offer them basic experience and permit them to develop basic skills in other disciplines, notably internal medicine nad psychiatry, which they will need to practice as parimary physicians to women. An educational program designed to prepare residents more broadly for what they will actually be doing in practice without compromising their training as specialists is described. 2 studies conducted in Michigan indicate obstetrician-gynecologists (OBs) function as primary physicians to women. 44 percent of a sample of 1008 patients had no physician other than their OB while 86 percent see only their OB for periodic medical examination. Data from 420 active practitioners showed 87-93 percent (depending upon year of graduation from medical school) treated cancer of the ovary, an equally large number cancer of endometrium with decreasing numbers treating other gynecologic conditions, down to 16 percent of those graduating before 1939 treating genetic problems. (41 percent of those graduating 1959-1969.) The larger percentages of younger doctors treating a wider variety of specialized problems, such as complicated infertility and end ocrine problems, reflects the wider exposure to these matters in recent education. However, almost all the doctors asked said training had not prepared them to handle sexual and marital counseling while 60 percent said they had not enough training in infertility and 30-40 percent wished they had more training in urology. A broader residency program is detailed to give students more experience in primary care. It is also suggested that community hospital programs do not do as good a job of preparing obstetrician-gynecologists. Marginal programs should be closed and training concentrated and broadened to meet the needs of contemporary practice.

Our present understanding of the sequence and mechanisms of human genital organogenesis is reviewed. Current theories about the derivation of the vaginal epithelium are examined and tested against two anomalous circumstances, congenital androgen insensitivity and agenesis of the lower vagina, which are presented as examples demonstrating the respective participation of the urogenital sinus or of the Müllerian ducts alone in the developmental process. The abnormalities recently described in the vagina and cervix of girls exposed in utero to diethylstilbestrol (DES) correspond remarkably with those encountered in lower vaginal agenesis, particularly with regard to the presence of vaginal adenosis, the deficiency of glycogen in the squamous cells (squamous metaplasia), and the abnormal response of the squamous epithelium to Schiller's iodine test. It is concluded that the development of the human vagina is best explained by the theory which holds that the Müllerian ducts in fetal life extend caudally to the level of the future hymen. After fusion of these ducts, squamous cells arising in the epithelium of the urogenital sinus invade from below, advance, and replace completely the Müllerian mucosa up to the level of the external os of the cervical canal. The course of development of the human genital tract is undifferentiated up to the 9th week (32 mm). At this time both Wolffian (mesonephric) and Mullerian (paramesonephric) ducts are present as symmetric paired structures. These, together with the urogenital sinus and the metanephric ducts, provide the tissue sources for the internal genital and urinary apparatus, exclusive of the gonads and kidneys. Configuration of the oviducts varies among species. Most human anomalies may be represented in other species so that some authors consider them to be atavistic reversions. The gonad of the developing male fetus plays a critical role in the formation of the genital tract. It elaborates androgenic steroids and a polypeptide, a Mullerian inhibiting substance, which induced suppression and resorotion of the Mullerian ducts. In the female the Mullerian ducts grow and develop into their adult morphology while the Wolffian ducts persist only as microscopic islands. The development of the external genitals and secondary sex characteristics depends upon further exposure to androgenic or estrogenic hormone milieu. a case is reported of an instance of congenital absence of the upper vagina. At laparotomy normal sized uterus, tubes, and ovaries were found. Further plastic surgery via the vagina corrected the condition. 15 years later (age 32) it was learned that she had been married and had 3 pregnancies. The adenosis, areas of squamous metaplasia, and deformities of the cervix of girls exposed in utero to diethylestibestrol are examples of deranged development. The shallow depth or absence of the vaginal canal of individuals with testicular feminization are also due to faulty development. Both Mullerian tissue and that of the urogenital sinus origin normally participate in the development of the vagina. In the normal adult the squamous cells that line the vagina contain abundant glycogen indicating urogenital origin. Glycogen-deficient squamous cells and adenosis are thought to be of Mullerian origin. In an accompanying discussion additional details of development are mentioned. It was noted that 7 cases of adenocarcinoma of the prostatic utricle in males have been reported as resembling endometrial carcinoma. The prostatic utricle is a homologue of the uterus and upper vagina and may be involved in similar deranged developments", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033667"} {"pmid": "1033668", "title": "Management and outcome of pregnancies associated with the Copper T intrauterine contraceptive device.", "content": "Management and outcome of pregnancies associated with the Copper T intrauterine contraceptive device.

The Copper T was either expelled or extracted during the pregnancy in 118 of the women, while the IUD remained in situ for the duration of the pregnancy in the remaining 157 patients. The incidence of spontaneous abortion more than doubled when the IUD remained in utero. The chance of a live birth being premature was four times greater when the IUD remained in situ than when it was removed. There were 27 ectopic pregnancies in this entire series, giving an incidence of 3.4 per cent. In addition, the data suggest, but do not prove, that there is an increased risk of having an ectopic pregnancy if the woman has worn the Copper T for more than two years.

Three new cases of true hermaphroditism are described: a 14-year-old patient with a testis on one side and an ovotestis on the other side and a 11-year-old patient as well as a 6-year-old patient both with an ovary on the one side and an ovotestis on the other side. Twenty-four cases, which were personally investigated, were previously reported. Therefore, this analytic review is based upon the author's experience of 27 cases as well as 340 cases reported in the world literature since 1899. The presenting symptoms and age of diagnosis are discussed. Apart from ambiguous genitals, the development of breasts in a patient reared as male is an important presenting symptom. The variations found regarding the external and internal genitals are described. An ovotestis is the most common gonad found in true hermaphroditism. Among 116 ovotestes available for analysis, 46 per cent are located in an ovarian position, 26 per cent in the labioscrotal fold, 24 per cent in the inguinal canal, and 4 per cent in the internal inguinal ring. Evidence of ovulation is found in 50 per cent of ovotestes. Spermatogenesis has not been observed in the testicular portion of an ovotestis. Spermatogenesis was present in only 12 per cent of testes found in true hermaphroditism. Dysgerminomas occur with a frequency of 1.3 per cent. A fallopian tube and a vas deferens were never found together next to an ovotestis. Cytogenetic findings are reported in 115 cases of true hermaphroditism, including the cases described in this paper. A 46,XX chromosomal complement is the most common finding, occurring in 57.4 per cent of cases. It is interesting that 42.6 per cent showed no evidence of a Y chromosome. With the use of the fluorescent technique in metaphase chromosomes as well as the Y chromatin body in interphase cells, no Y chromosome was detected in the three new cases reported here. The various possibilities for the development of testicular tissues in the absence of a Y chromosome are discussed. In the diagnosis of true hermaphroditism the palpation of an ovotestis with a soft testicular portion and a firm ovarian portion is stressed. As far as the treatment of true hermaphroditism is concerned, the external genitals should be changed according to the gender identity which usually correlates with the sex of rearing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033669"} {"pmid": "1033670", "title": "The effects of dexamethasone on plasma free androgens during the normal menstrual cycle.", "content": "The effects of dexamethasone on plasma free androgens during the normal menstrual cycle. In order to evaluate the ovarian and adrenal contribution to peripheral plasma concentrations of total testosterone (TTe), indixes of the plasma concentrations of free testosterone (FTeI), free 17 beta-hydroxysteroid androgens (FHSI), and testosterone-binding globulin (TeBG) during the menstrual cycle, women were examined during three normal cycles and three other cycles under dexamethasone (0.5 mg., four times a day) suppression. All study cycles were apparently ovulatory. The mean TTe and FTeI during the midcycle period were significantly higher than during the early follicular (P less than 0.005) and the midluteal periods (P less than 0.01 and P less than 0.001, respectively). During the menstrual cycles under dexamethasone suppression only the difference in TTe and FTeI between the midcycle (37 +/- 12.4 (S.D.) ng. per 100 ml. and 10.5 +/- 4.0 (S.D.), respectively) and the midluteal (26.0 +/- 10.1 (S.D.) ng. per 100 ml and 7.2 +/- 3.2 (S.D.), respectively) periods was significant statistically (P less than 0.05). No significant differences in the mean levels of FHSI and TeBG between three periods within the cycle were noted in either the control or the dexamethasone-treated cycle. When each phase was compared, the mean levels of TTe, FTel, and FSHI were significantly lower in the dexamethasone-treated cycles than in the normal cycles. The data suggest that the level of TeBG is not perceptibly affected by physiologic fluctuation of estrogen levels during the menstrual cycle, and the FHSI levels are stable throughout the ovulatory cycle. Decrease in levels of TTe, FTeI, and FHSI during dexamethasone suppression seems to be due to reduction of androgen production as TeBG, a major determinant of the metabolic clearance rate of androgens, was not affected by dexamethasone.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033670"} {"pmid": "1033671", "title": "Diagnosis of prolactin-secreting pituitary microadenoma.", "content": "Diagnosis of prolactin-secreting pituitary microadenoma.

Later handicap was associated with factors leading to prolonged partial intrapartum asphyxia, while acute periods of more complete asphyxia were not necessarily harmful.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033733"} {"pmid": "1033735", "title": "Changes in diurnal temperature and feeding patterns of rats during repeated injections of heroin and withdrawal.", "content": "Changes in diurnal temperature and feeding patterns of rats during repeated injections of heroin and withdrawal. Rectral temperatures and feeding activity were measured in adult male rats every 30 min for 4 hr, then every 4 hr following daily s.c. injections at 08:00 or 20:00hr or saline or heroin. Initial heroin injections disrupted diurnal temperature and feeding rhythms: 5 mg/kg heroin HCl induced hyperthermia and abolished feeding for 2 hr; 20 mg/kg led to hypothermia, then hyperthermia and abolished feeding for 4 hr. By the 5th heroin day hyperthermia and increased feeding occurred in all groups with a shorter latency to onset. Total food intake was higher than on the 1st heroin day but the diurnal patterns remained disrupted. Changes in both diurnal rhythms again occurred on the 1st withdrawal day as hypothermia, sporadic feeding and hyper-irritability were observed. By the 5th withdrawal day diurnal temperature and feeding rhythms resembled those of the control period. Monitoring diurnal temperature and feeding patterns of rats reveals characteristic dose-related disruptions after heroin which are modified by repeated doses as tolerance develops and which eventually disappear on withdrawal.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033735"} {"pmid": "1033736", "title": "Time-course of apomorphine in the brain of the immature rat after apomorphine injection.", "content": "Time-course of apomorphine in the brain of the immature rat after apomorphine injection.

In the adult animals continuous stereotypes behaviour (SB) commenced within 1-2 min and was no longer present at 75 min. The peak concentration of apomorphine was present at 5 min and then declined exponentially (half-life = 10.5 min); only trace amounts (less than 0.01 mug/g) were present at 90 min. In the immature rat apomorphine induced an initial phase of intermittent locomotion lasting about 10 min after which the rats appeared sedated; 60-80 min after injection intermittent SB emerged and terminated 150-180 min after the apomorphine injection. The peak brain concentration of apomorphine was present at 10 min and then declined exponentially (half-life = 28 min). Significant amounts of apomorphine were still present in brain at 150 min and trace amounts evident at 180 min. The reason for the delayed onset of SB in the immature rat is unclear.

Synthesis directed by the synthetic templates poly(G,U) and poly(C,U) is more sensitive to inhibition by puromycin than poly(U) directed synthesis and frequently shows a sensitivity to puromycin similar to that directed by endogenous mRNA. 3.

Juvenile forms of Schistosoma mansoni (schistosomula) have been cultured in human blood of various specificities and tested for the presence of blood group substances on their surfaces. The tests employed were survival following transfer into rhesus monkeys immunized against human blood substances, mixed agglutination reactions, and immunofluorescence. A, B, H AND Lewisb+ antigens were expressed at the surface when the parasites were cultured in blood of appropriate specificities. Rhesus, M N S, AND Duffy antigens could not be detected on the parasite surface following culture. The evidence suggests that the expressed blood group antigens are of host origin and are acquired by the parasite during culture, probably in the form of glycolipids or megaloglycolipids. It is likely that these substances are also acquired by parasites in the bloodstream of man. They may serve to mask surface parasite antigens, and so enable schistosomes to evade parasite-specific humoral or cellular immune responses.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033797"} {"pmid": "1033805", "title": "The EMI whole body scanner in the demonstration of lymph node enlargement.", "content": "The EMI whole body scanner in the demonstration of lymph node enlargement.

In many cases there were either more lymph nodes demonstrated than on lymphography or more disease shown in bone or the thorax than was suspected. CT scanning is particularly valuable in showing mesenteric, retrosternal, axillary and para-aortic lymph node enlargement. Bone, liver and pulmonary metastases were shown when not demonstrated by other methods as well as showing the extent of recurrence of malignant disease. In testicular tumours metastatic spread to paravertebral soft tissues behind the diaphragm was clearly demonstrated. This cannot be seen on lymphography.

A blood group P1-like antigen has been found in gram-negative bacilli isolated from pigeon droppings, in pigeon serum, and on pigeon red blood cells. As a probable resident of the environment of the pigeon loft, the antigen stimulated formation of anti-P1 antibody in eight of 11 pigeon breeders who belonged to the P2 blood group. Only one of 11 random hospitalized patients with the P2 blood phenotype had a detectable titer of anti-P1 antibody (P less than 0.01). The titer of anti-P1 antibody was not significantly different in symptomatic vs asymptomatic breeders. The presence or absence of anti-P1 antibody could not be correlated with any band of immunoprecipitates formed between pigeon breeder's serum and crude extract of pigeon droppings. The P antigen was identified in pigeon-dropping extracts of breeders with the P2 blood phenotype by inhibition of hemagglutination.

The effects of melatonin on gonadal function and on serum gonadotropin concentrations in both sexes were similar to the previously observed effects of prolonged exposure to short photoperiods.

Besides this displacement, stearate and dodecylsulfate influence the fluorescence properties and the extrinsic Cotton effects on ANS bound to both albumins.

A similar increase with a maximum about 24-48h after initiation of the cultures could be observed in the explants differentiating in organ culture.

Five samples each of six cured meat products were analysed for the presence of eight volatile nitrosamines. A combined steam distillation-extraction step at pH 8-9 plus a concentration step were used for preparation of extracts. These were analysed, without further clean-up, using a coupled capillary GC-HRMS system at a resolution of 4 000. The MS was used in the fixed mass mode, but after the retention time of each nitrosamine the mass adjustment was tuned to the mass of the next nitrosamine. This combination allowed not only an unambiguous identification of the nitrosamines but also their direct quantitative determination. The products investigated were cooked ham, fermented sausage, raw bacon, mildly fried bacon, fried minced mean and smoked meat. Only one nitrosamine, NDEA, was sometimes found to be present in relatively large amounts. It occurred in two of the bacon samples; the concentration increased during mild frying from 4 and 13 mug/kg to 16 and 43 mug/kg, respectively.

A silicon compound with practically the same retention time and mass as NDMA, which originates from the antifoam agents used as shown by other investigators, was found in the extracts in amounts corresponding to abuot 2 mug/kg of product.

The determination was carried out by gas chromatography (nitrogen detector, nitrogen-sensitive, flame-ionization detector) prior to and following irradiation with UV light (360 nm).

The main purpose of this study was to investigate if the specificity of the binding of testosterone to plasma proteins could be defined as a preferential binding of this steroid over epitestosterone. The amount of testosterone that is specifically bound was calculated using the formula: (see article) concentration, where \"Ri\" is the ratio (14C) testosterone: (3H) epitestosterone in plasma prior to centrifugation, \"Ru\" is the isotope ratio in the protein-free supernatant obtained after ultracentrifugation (149,000 x g, at 0 C, for 18 h) and \"T concentration\" is the testosterone concentration in plasma resulting from addition of (14C) testosterone, the endogenous steroids having been removed by preliminary charcoal extraction. The theoretical separation of the binding sites for testosterone into two populations, one non-specific with no preference for testosterone over epitestosterone, and another with absolute specificity for testosterone over its physiologically inactive stereoisomer, proved to be useful. Ovalbumin was found to be an example for non-specific, non-preferential binding. Determination of the ratio (14C) testosterone: (3H) epitestosterone in the successive fractions of various ultracentrifuged preparations showed a small but significant preference for (14C) testosterone by human and bovine serum albumin, while alpha1-acid glycoprotein had a preference for (3H) epitestosterone.

Three highly purified Schistosoma mansoni egg antigens reactivity with sera from mice with chronic schistosomiasis mansoni (major serologic antigens-MSA1, MSA2, and MSA3) were utilized in radioimmunoassays for determining their stage and species specificity. Inhibition studies revealed that MSA1 was completely stage specific, since its binding to S. mansoni chronic infection serum (CIS) could not be inhibited either with cercarial or adult worm antigen. MAS2 and MSA3 were specific with regard to adult worm antigen but their binding to CIS was slightly inhibited by cercarial antigen. Immature eggs in comparison with mature eggs contained only negligible amounts of MSA1 whereas MSA2 and MSA3 were present in large quantities. Fluid from eggs hatched in spring water (hatch fluid-HF) contained considerable amounts of MSA1 as well as MSA2 and MSA3. With regard to species specificity, MSA1 essentially did not cross-react with crude soluble egg antigen (SEA) from Schistosoma japonicum and Schistosoma haematobium whereas MSA2 and MSA3 showed partial cross-reactivity. Antibody dilution studies with sera from animals and humans infected with heterologous schistosome species (i.e., S. japonicum and S. haematobium) indirectly confirmed the high degree of species specificity of MSA1. The degree of serologic specificity of MSA1 as demonstrated in this study parallels that of the sensitizing activity of S. mansoni eggs and SEA for granuloma formation, as demonstrated in previous investigations. This study, therefore, indicates that MSA1 may be a major immunopathologically active egg antigen.

Human and porcine skins are very similar with respect to water permeability, while buccal mucosa is similar to dermis in its permeability characteristics to the four representative test agents. The permeability of hydrated whole skin is determined by the permeability of the epidermis, and the dermis and buccal mucosa behave as if they are water barriers exhibiting a permeability of about 30% of the diffusion through pure water, a difference that can be ascribed to the porosity and/or tortuosity of the tissue matrix.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033956"} {"pmid": "1033950", "title": "Major proteins of soybean seeds.

Research on development of the secondary palate has, in the past, dealt primarily with morphological aspects of shelf elevation and fusion. The many factors thought to be involved in palatal elevation, such as fetal neuromuscular activity and growth of the cranial base and mandible, as well as production of extracellular matrix and contractile elements in the palate, are mostly based on gross, light microscopic, morphometric or histochemical observations. Recently, more biochemical procedures have been utilized to described palatal shelf elevation. Although these studies strongly suggest that palatal extracellular matrix plays a major role in shelf movement, interpretation of these data remains difficult owing to the complexity of tissue interactions involved in craniofacial development. Shelf elevation does not appear to involve a single motive factor, but rather a coordinated interaction of all of the abovementioned developmental events. Further analysis of mechanisms of shelf elevation requires development of new, and refinement of existing, in vitro procedures. A system that enables one to examine shelf elevation in vitro would allow more meaningful analysis of the relative importance of the various components in shelf movement. Much more is known about fusion of the palatal shelves, owing in large part to in vitro studies. Fusion of the apposing shelves, both in vivo and in vitro, is dependent upon adhesion and cell dealth of the midline epithelial cells. Adhesion betweeen apposing epithelial surfaces appears to involve epithelial cell surface macromolecules. Further analysis of palatal epithelial adhesion should be directed towards characterization of those cell surface components responsible for this adhesive interaction. Midline epithelial cells cease DNA synthesis 24-36 h before shelf elevation and contact, become active in the synthesis of cell surface glycoproteins, and subsequently manifest morphological signs of necrosis.

Two of 10 mug/ml cytochalasin B (CB) caused retraction of the first cleavage furrow in Triturus eggs, a spreading of the unpigmented surface from the furrow region and a flattening of the whole egg. CB appears to act against the contractility of the microfilamentous band at mid-cleavage so as to relax the furrow and also to weaken unpigmented surface to allow the egg to flatten. Uncleaved eggs and the initial formation of the cleavage groove were unaffected by CB. A fully-retracted first cleavage furrow reformed itself on transfer of the egg to normal medium but only at the time of second cleavage. Initiation of second cleavage depended upon there being sufficient of the original pigmented surface on the animal hemisphere. Tritium-labelled CB of high specific activty was prepared and used to study its ability to penetrate the surface of newt eggs during cleavage. Scintillation couting of whole eggs showed that CB was not taken into the newt egg until mid-cleavage (about 17 min after the double stripe stage) when new surface began to spread in the cleavage furrow. Fixation in glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide retained radioactivity in the egg, but more CB was retained after fixation in osmium tetroxide alone than after double fixation. Most of the retained radioactivity was in yolk platelets. Autoradiographs were prepared to sectioned eggs which had been fixed at late cleavage after [3H]CB had flattend the furrow. These showed that CB entered the egg through the unpigmented surface which formed in the furrow but it could not enter through the pigmented surface. The impermeability of the pigmented surface explains the observations that CB does not prevent initial furrowing at cleavage. Once inside the egg CB is transported slowly. CB penetrates to a limited extent beneath the pigmented surface from its border with the unpigmented surface in the first cleavage furrow and this seems insufficient in some circumstances to suppress the contractile phase of second cleavage.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033983"} {"pmid": "1033984", "title": "The developmental analysis of an embryonic lethal (C6H) in the mouse.", "content": "The developmental analysis of an embryonic lethal (C6H) in the mouse.

The dependent variables were Likert-type questionnaire items designed to investigate the level of responsibility attributed to a leader by members of a group as a function of four variables: (a) two levels of stress (threat of shock or of small monetary loss); (b) two levels of leadership authority (elected or appointed); (c) two conditions of leadership (\"me-last\" or \"me-first\"); and (d) group success or failure.

Additional results were: (a) Leaders facilitated achieving the goal of safe exit; (b) elected leaders were given more responsibility and were seen as more competent than appointed leaders, but only when the stress is comparatively low, as otherwise the difference in evaluation narrows and reverses; and (c) success or failure seems to have had little effect on the leader's evaluation by the group.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1033991"} {"pmid": "1034010", "title": "Diurnal variation and individual differences in the perception of intractable pain.", "content": "Diurnal variation and individual differences in the perception of intractable pain.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034010"} {"pmid": "1034009", "title": "Psychophysiological aspects of the menstrual cycle.", "content": "Psychophysiological aspects of the menstrual cycle. After a survey of literature on electrolyte changes associated with the varying excretion of hormones during the menstrual cycle, a study of 30 women aged 18-33 is reported. Measurements of sodium and potassium ions in the saliva were made at 4 points in the menstrual cycle and, since previous work had shown bilateral asymmetry in sodium reabsorption in the eccrine sweat glands, samples were collected from both the right and left sides of the mouth. The smallest sodium/potassium (Na+/K+) ratios were found at ovulation and the premenstruum. This fits 2 sets of facts: 1) during stress Na+/K+ ratios decrease and 2) this decrease comes exactly when most women report feelings of irritability, anxiety, and such. Differences in Na+/K+ ratios over points in the cycle were significant at p less than .001. Differences between right and left side were significant during the premenstruum (p less than .05). K+ was highest at ovulation (p less than .001) and the left side produced higher values (p less than .05). Na+ was lowest at ovulation, highest at menstruation (p less than .001) with concentration on right side higher at menstruation (p less than .05). This seems to indicate that the right side not only reabsorbs Na+ more efficiently but it can also excrete more efficiently and maintains homeostasis more effectively. Estrogen seems to play a major role in initiating these variations in body electrolytes, which are similar to stress reactions.

The effect of homozygosity for recessive gene c in Ambystoma mexicanum is the absence of a heartbeat even though initially heart development appears normal. Mutant embryos (c/c) are first distinguishable from their normal siblings (+/+;+/c) at stage 34 (7 days after fertilization) when the normals develop contracting hearts. The mutant hearts at this stage, upon gross examination, appear structurally normal but fail to beat. Nevertheless, the mutants survive through stage 41, which is about 20 days beyond the heartbeat stage, and they exhibit normal swimming movements, indicating that gene c does not affect skeletal muscle. Electron microscopic studies of normal hearts show some myofibrils to be present at stage 34; by stage 41, the normal myocardial cells have become highly differentiated muscle cells. Although some mutant heart cells contain a few thin 60 A and thick 150 A filaments, organized myofibrils are absent. Instead, amorphous proteinaceous collections are prominent. Heavy meromyosin (HMM) binding experiments were performed on mutant hearts to determine whether the myocardial cells contain actin. Mutant myocardial cells that are glycerinated but not treated with HMM contain intact amorphous bodies. After incubation in HMM, the amorphous collections are no longer present and large numbers of decorated actin filaments appear. The.results suggest that the amorphous proteinaceous collections contain actin in a nonfilamentous form, and the addition of HMM induces this actin to polymerize into filaments. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of mutant heart tissue supports this conclusion by showing a prominent 43,000 dalton band suggestive of actin. The electrophoresis experiments also demonstrate a significant reduction of myosin heavy chain (200,000 daltons) in mutant hearts when compared to normal, and this latter observation is confirmed by radioimmunoassay experiments. Muscle tropomyosin (34,000 daltons), prominent in normal hearts, is virtually nonexistent in mutants.

The uptake-accumulation and binding of radioactivity in mouse heart after administration of the catecholamine neurotoxin [3H]6-hydroxydopamine (6-OH-DA, 1 or 3 mg/kg, i.v.) has been investigated. It was confirmed that a substantial portion (8--20%) of the radioactivity taken up and retained by the heart could not be extracted with perchloric acid, in all probability representing covalently bound oxidation products of 6-OH-DA to tissue proteins. Pharmacological analysis showed that a large part of this fraction was associated with the adrenergic nerves. The time-course of the perchloric acid resistant binding to the adrenergic nerves was found to parallel that of the neurotoxic action of 6-hydroxydopamine as evaluated by monitoring the change in [3H]noradrenaline uptake. Calculation of the intranelronal 6-hydroxydopamine concentration (average) needed to induce degeneration showed it to be in the order of 50 mM. The binding ratio for tritium deriving from [3H]6-OH-DA between the intraneuronal and extraneuronal compartments was found to be 10,000 to 30,000, pointing to a very high neuronal specificity for 6-hydroxydopamine. The 'covalent' binding of oxidation products of [3H]6-OH-DA was considerably reduced after desipramine or 1-phenyl-3(2-thiazolyl)-2-thiourea administration, treatments both known to protect the adrenergic nerves from undergoing degeneration. Conversely it was found that the binding increased during conditions known to potentiate the neurotoxic action of 6-hydroxydopamine, e.g., after monoamine oxidase inhibition with nialamide. Subcellular fractionation studies indicated that the predominant site of interaction between 6-hydroxydopamine oxidation products and neuronal proteins is the cytoplasm and the axonal membrane. Analysis of the effect in vivo administration of 6-hydroxydopamine on the field-stimulated induced release of [3H]noradrenaline previously taken up in the adrenergic nerves showed a 6-hydroxydopamine indiced reduction in [3H]noradrenaline release which was approximately proportional to the reduction in the number of nerve terminals. These findings further support the view that 6-hydroxydopamine acts largely in an \"all-or-none' fashion with respect to the neurodegenerative action. Administration of [3H]dopamine also resulted in a fraction which was not extractable with perchloric acid, although this fraction was very small compared to that found after an equal dose of [3H]6-hydroxydopamine. These data may indicate that oxidation products of dopamine can interact with tissue proteins. From the present results it can be concluded that there is a close relationship between 'covalent' binding of 6-hydroxydopamine oxidation products to neuronal elements and the cytotoxic action of 6-hydroxydopamine, indicating that this binding may play an important role in the neurodegenerative action of 6-hydroxydopamine on catecholamine neurons.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034180"} {"pmid": "1034185", "title": "The interaction between spontaneous convulsions and tolerance to hexobarbital in the abstinence after chronic barbital treatments in the rat.", "content": "The interaction between spontaneous convulsions and tolerance to hexobarbital in the abstinence after chronic barbital treatments in the rat.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034185"} {"pmid": "1034186", "title": "Neonatal corticoid administration: retardation of adrenal rhythmicity and desynchronization of puberty.", "content": "Neonatal corticoid administration: retardation of adrenal rhythmicity and desynchronization of puberty.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034186"} {"pmid": "1034188", "title": "Cultivation of mammalian cell lines in serum-free chemically defined medium.", "content": "Cultivation of mammalian cell lines in serum-free chemically defined medium.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034188"} {"pmid": "1034189", "title": "Improved synthetic media suitable for tissue cllture of various mammalian cells.", "content": "Improved synthetic media suitable for tissue cllture of various mammalian cells.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034189"} {"pmid": "1034190", "title": "Long-term preservation of the Ehrlich ascites tumor.", "content": "Long-term preservation of the Ehrlich ascites tumor.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034190"} {"pmid": "1034191", "title": "Isolation of drug-resistant clones of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells.", "content": "Isolation of drug-resistant clones of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034191"} {"pmid": "1034196", "title": "Diabetic retinopathy.", "content": "Diabetic retinopathy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034196"} {"pmid": "1034199", "title": "Bone-resorbing activity of analogues of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol: effects of side chain modification and stereoisomerization on responses of fetal rat bones in vitro.", "content": "Bone-resorbing activity of analogues of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol: effects of side chain modification and stereoisomerization on responses of fetal rat bones in vitro.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034199"} {"pmid": "1034201", "title": "Induction and decay of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity in mouse 3T3 cells.", "content": "Induction and decay of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity in mouse 3T3 cells.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034201"} {"pmid": "1034200", "title": "Oxygen-dependent reaction of 6-hydroxydopamine, 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine, and related compounds with proteins in vitro: a model for cytotoxicity.", "content": "Oxygen-dependent reaction of 6-hydroxydopamine, 5,6-dihydroxytryptamine, and related compounds with proteins in vitro: a model for cytotoxicity.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034200"} {"pmid": "1034203", "title": "Stabilization of double-stranded DNA molecule by non-histone peptidic effector from calf thymus.", "content": "Stabilization of double-stranded DNA molecule by non-histone peptidic effector from calf thymus.

Symptoms and signs of acute maxillary sinusitis have seldom been specifically analyzed. Since there is a gradual transition from rhinitis to sinusitis it can be expected that many symptoms are common for the two diseases. However, since sinusitis requires drainage measures and/or antibiotic treatment, both of which seldom are actual for rhinitis, the differential diagnosis is important. The present investigation confirms most of the symptoms presented previously in textbooks. However, most of these sympatoms which conventionally are supposed to indicate sinus disease were found to be just as common in radiologically normal sinuses and in sinuses with pronounced changes. The subjective or objective finding of purulent nasal secretion was more helpful in the differentiation between rhinitis and sinusitis. It appears that the patient's symptoms do not constitute a reliable diagnostic basis for the confident differentiation between the two diseases.

The effects of increased ambient temperature (Ta) on blood-flow and -temperatures of the tongue were studied in the unanaesthetized dog. At Ta of 20 degrees C and a relative humidity (rh) of 30% the mean lingual blood flow was 11 ml-min-1 (0.15 ml-g-1-min-1) and the temperature difference between the lingual artery and vein (deltaTLAV) was 1.0 degrees C. Accordingly, a heat loss of 48.6 J-min-1 was calculated even for the dog breathing with the mouth closed. When Ta was elevated to 38 degrees C at constant rh, panting ensued. In parallel fashion lingual blood flow increased to 60.4 ml-min-1 (0.81 ml-g-1-min-1) in mean and to 74.7 ml-min-1 (0.99 ml-g-1-min-1) at peak rate of thermal tachypnoea (272 breaths-min-1). This flow increase resulted from a decrease in the local vascular resistance since the driving systemic pressure remained constant. It was accompanied by an increase in TLAV to 1.5 degrees C equivalent to a heat loss of 400.7J-min-1 in mean and 496.2J-min-1 at maximum respiratory rate. 2. The preoptic/anterior hypothalamic (PO/AH) region was heated with a water perfused thermode in urethane anaesthetized dogs at constant body temperature in order to study the relationship in time between the increase in lingual blood flow and the onset of thermal panting. Lingual blood flow was found to be 20 ml-min-1 at a respiratory rate of 60 breaths/min. During hypothalamic heating both respiratory rate and lingual blood flow increased markedly. At maximum respiratory rates (244 breaths-min-1) lingual blood flow reached a level of 60 ml-min-1. When perfusion of the thermode was stopped, both respiratory rate and lingual blood flow synchronously returned to control values within 5 min. Similar changes did not occur in dogs in which a ventilatory response failed to be elicited during hypothalamic heating. 3.

Phosphorylase activity was still high during the period of maximum blood flow, although to a lesser extent (54% and 45%). During the phase of restoration of the initial rate of blood flow the values of phosphorylase activity were the same in the experimental and the control sample. The AMP content did not increase with the initiation of the vasomotor effect, and this fact suggests that the increase in phosphorylase activity is due to an increase in phosphorylase \"a\" rather than to the activation of phosphorylase \"b\" by AMP. Atropine blocks both the dilator effect and phosphorylase activation elicited by sympathetic stimulation. Acetylcholine, injected intraarterially or added to a muscle homogenate, increases phosphorylase activity.

The in vitro conversion of 20alpha-hydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (20alpha-DHP) by medial basal hypothalamus and anterior pituitary was investigated throughout the day of proestrus in the 4-day cyclic rat. Reverse isotopic dilution analysis was utilized to quantitate the substrate remaining and three metabolic products: 20alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-pregnan-3-one, 5alpha-pregnane-3alpha,20alpha-diol and progesterone. Serum levels of 20alpha-DHP, progesterone, LH and FSH were measured by radioimmunoassay. Conversion of 20alpha-DHP to its 5alpha-reduced metabolites (20alpha-hydroxy-5alpha-pregnan-3-one and 5alpha-pregnane-3alpha,20alpha-diol) by the pituitary was constant throughout proestrus except for a significant decrease at 1600 h, near the end of the critical period. Although 5alpha-reduction of 20alpha-DHP by the hypothalamus fluctuated, it was relatively high at 1600 h and was lowest at 1400 h. Small amounts of progesterone (less than2%) were formed but there was not variation with time. The decrease in pituitary enzymic activity coincided with the time when serum levels of LH, FSH and progesterone were increasing but not with later times when the elevated serum levels were maintained. Thus, there may be endogenous regulation of 5alpha-reductase and 3alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity in rat pituitary and perhaps hypothalamus on the afternoon of proestrus. The regulation and subsequent effects of quantitative changes in 5alpha-reduction of 20alpha-DHP by pituitary and hypothalamus remain to be elucidated.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034357"} {"pmid": "1034364", "title": "Flying clouds: an illusion of visual capture and distance reversal.", "content": "Flying clouds: an illusion of visual capture and distance reversal.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034364"} {"pmid": "1034346", "title": "Interviewing in Goa: methodological issues in the study of a bilingual culture.", "content": "Interviewing in Goa: methodological issues in the study of a bilingual culture.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034346"} {"pmid": "1034360", "title": "Nd:Yag laser.", "content": "Nd:Yag laser.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034360"} {"pmid": "1034359", "title": "Closed-circuit television magnification of fluorescein angiography.", "content": "Closed-circuit television magnification of fluorescein angiography.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034359"} {"pmid": "1034363", "title": "Transmission of vaccinia virus from vaccinated milkers to cattle.", "content": "Transmission of vaccinia virus from vaccinated milkers to cattle.

The titers secured serve as an indication of the average level of immunity of those of different ages. Persons less than 43 years of age are found to be without antibody protection. The need for vaccination of people in different age groups based on mortality statistics of previous epidemics is evaluated. It is realized that no epidemic may occur and that a reduced virulence of the viral agent and use of antibiotics may reduce the death rate if the infection recurs. The extraordinary high mortality in 1918 in people between 15 and 44 years of age deserves recognition together with the fact that those in the same age group are now without protection. The fact that women of childbearing age fall into this group deserves special consideration in view of increased mortality in puerperal women observed in the pandemics of 1918 and 1957.

Yaws has not yet been eradicated from any large geographic area, however, and is already resurgent in some countries. Some of the differences between the two diseases and available control measures are discussed. The thesis of this paper is that yaws programs have been deficient in failing to aggressively seek and contain yaws cases and contacts after mass treatment campaigns reduced yaws prevalence to low levels. It is further suggested that by using a modified SEP-type strategy to focus investigation and control efforts on infections yaws cases and their contacts, and by taking advantage of new methods to obtain more accurate diagnosis of yaws cases in the field, it should be possible to control yaws more effectively and efficiently, and perhaps to eradicate it.

The process of erythropoiesis and vasculogenesis in the yolk sac of the bat (Tadarida brasiliensis cynocephala) has been studied through the use of both light and electron microscopy. Stem cells arise from the leading edge of the migrating splanchnic mesoderm and transform into primitive erythroblasts. Differentiation involves either contact or association with the endodermal cells, since all erythropoietic activity occurs on the endodermal side of the expanding vascular bed, and many of the cells are in close apposition to the lateral or basal plasma membranes of the endodermal cells. Endodermal cells also phagocytize developing primitive erythroblasts during the later stage of the process when erythropoiesis is subsiding in the yolk sac. Cells destined to become the endothelium of the expanding vascular bed also arise from the leading edge of the migrating splanchnic mesoderm. Their process of differentiation involves the development of cytoplasmic extensions that may surround a group of differentiating erythroblasts, enclosing them in the newly formed lumen of the blood vessel. The cytoplasmic extensions make contact and develop junctional complexes with similar processes from other cells to complete the lumen of the lengthening vascular bed.

Leydig cells constitute approximately 60% of the zone, with remaining space occupied by capillaries, sinusoids, and lymphatic vessels.

The temporal pattern is analysed into a number of variables, which are seen to alter in different ways over the oestrous cycle. The pro-oestrus disturbance is due to alterations in meal size brought about solely by changes in mean bout length, themselves products of variations in the initial bouts of the meal. Inter-meal interval is unrelated to changes in meal size at this time, allowing the latter to affect food intake. The changes towards the end of the cycle are produced by alterations of meal frequency at constant meal size.

Between 10 and 13 days, quail erythrocytes appear in increasing proportions making up as much as 80% of the red blood cells in some embryos.

To evaluate the reconstitution capacity of the cells transplanted, gain of body weight, weight and microscopic morphology of the lymphoid organs and antibody forming capacity to sheep red blood cells and Brucella were assessed at the age of five weeks. According to all the criteria employed, bursa cells were the only cells capable of a functional and morphological reconstitution of the recipient's humoral immune system. Cells from the embryonic spleen, bone marrow, thymus, liver or yolk sac had no reconstituting effect, indicating that these organs do not harbor precursors for the B-cell lineage. Taken together with other observations, these findings reveal that, as a differentiation site of the B-cell lineage, the bursa of Fabricius precedes the bone marrow during ontogenetic development, and furthermore, that the role of the yolk sac as the first generator of prebursal stem cells must be questioned.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034465"} {"pmid": "1034471", "title": "Two feminized male American Indians.", "content": "Two feminized male American Indians.

They also had significantly lower rates of passage of marker in the first few hours after food residues reached the ileum, indicating inhibition of abomasal emptying.

The optimal conditions for activation of Dictyostellium discoideum spores are an 8 M urea treatment for 30 min. The lag between activation and swelling is 45 min. Lower concentrations of urea do not activate entire spore populations. Incubating spores in 8 M urea for 60 min or treatment with 10 M urea for 30 min results in a lengthening of the post-activation lag and a decrease in the final percentage of germination. Urea-activated spores can be deactivated by azide, cyanide, osmotic pressure, and low-temperature incubation. Activated spores do not germinate if incubated in 1 M urea for 24 h but will complete germination upon resuspension in urea-free buffer. Shocking spores at 45 degrees C in 8 M urea or incubating spores in 4-8 M urea for 10 h at 23.5 degrees C causes inactivation. When suspended in urea-free buffer, a larger percentage of these dead spores release spheroplasts through a longitudinal split in the spore case. Sequential enzyme treatment of spheroplasts with cellulase and pronase causes them to release lysable protoplasts.

This view is indicated by current reports documenting the substantial behavioral repertoire of decerebrate animals and by the recent findings that electrical stimulation of localized areas in all major levels of the brainstem can induce complex and coordinated behaviors, including eating, grooming and attack. Indeed, behaviors elicited from sites in the caudal brainstem evidence unexpected goal specificity and stimulus control over response topography. Additional neuroanatomical and behavioral data are reviewed which further implicate caudal brainstem networks in process of reward and aversion. From these and other findings it is argued that integrating mechanisms for the expression of many aspects of species-characteristic behaviors are intrinsic to the brainstem. In line with this view, rostral hypothalamic-limbic mechanisms, while perhaps contributing refinement to the integration of behaviors, may best be viewed as phylogenetically newer control mechanisms making the expression of species-characteristic behaviors subordinate to additional class of exteroceptive and interoceptive stimuli.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034494"} {"pmid": "1034534", "title": "Rhabdomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord.", "content": "Rhabdomyosarcoma of the spermatic cord.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034534"} {"pmid": "1034533", "title": "Physical dependence in the rat induced by slow release morphine: dose-response, time course and brain biogenic amines.", "content": "Physical dependence in the rat induced by slow release morphine: dose-response, time course and brain biogenic amines. 1.

The predominant effect of 2-deoxy-D-glucose on chick embryo cells infected with Semliki Forest virus is an interference with glycosylation of virus-specific glycoproteins; this results in a block of synthesis of infectious virus. Incorporation of radioactive mannose is blocked severely in the presence of 2-deoxyglucose in the cultural medium although it is readily phosphorylated and subsequently activated by GTP to yield GDP-mannose, which accumulates under these conditions. The intracellular concentrations of GDP-mannose and UDP-N-acetyl-D-hexosamine are not reduced in the presence of the inhibitor. An equimolar concentration of mannose in the cultural medium competes with the inhibitory effect of the deoxysugar and drops the cellular pool of GDP-2-deoxy-D-glucose below the level of detection, at the same time restoring the synthesis of infectious virus. When the intracellular concentration of UDP-2-deoxyglucose is reduced by addition of glucose into the cultural medium the inhibition of virus synthesis by the deoxysugar and the concentration of GDP-2-deoxyglucose within the cells remain near to the values when the inhibitor is present alone. It is concluded that among the metabolites of 2-deoxyglucose which occur in vivo after addition of 2-deoxyglucose to the culture medium, GDP-2-deoxyglucose is the agent responsible for inhibition of glycosylation of viral glycoproteins.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034557"} {"pmid": "1034559", "title": "Artificially produced urinary incontinence preparatory to enterocystoplasty of the small tuberculous bladder associated with severe renal insufficiency due to vesico-ureteric reflux.

By contrast, membrane deep in the furrow and bounding the blastocoel did not display a face with high particle numbers. Both faces of this membrane, which is newly exposed as the furrow grows, were relatively poorly supplied with particles (93 per mum2). Therefore it appears that, in this tissue, newly added membrane possesses fewer intramembranous particles than the pre-existing membrane.

Data obtained over the last two years pertinent to the thiol redox model for the modulation of hexose transport activity by insulin is summarized. The model proposes that activation of hexose transport in fat cells involves sulfhydryl oxidation to the disulfide form in a key protein component of the fat cell surface membrane. Theoretically, the rapid activation of transport by insulin may involve either the conversion of inactive membrane carriers to the active form as originally proposed, or the conversion of a low Vmax transport system to a high Vmax form. The present experiments showed that the percent inhibition of insulin-activated transport rates by submaximal levels of cytochalasin B was decreased compared to its effects on basal transport. Treatment of fat cells with N-ethylmaleimide inhibited cytochalasin B action but not transport activity. When insulin or the oxidant vitamin K5 was added to cells 5 minutes before the N-ethylmaleimide, the elevated transport activity was also resistant to the sulfhydryl reagent, but cytochalasin B retained its potent inhibitory effect on transport. The data demonstrate that unique properties characterize basal versus insulin-activated transport activity with respect to the sensitivity of cytochalasin B action to sulfhydryl blockade in isolated fat cells. The data are consistent with the concept that activation of transport activity reflects the conversion of a reduced (sulfhydryl) system characterized by a low Vmax to an oxidized (disulfide), high Vmax transport system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034635"} {"pmid": "1034636", "title": "Regulation of glucose transport in chick fibroblasts: bicarbonate, lactate and ascorbic acid.", "content": "Regulation of glucose transport in chick fibroblasts: bicarbonate, lactate and ascorbic acid.

The carrier of uridine transport in hamster cells in culture is highly susceptible to the inhibitory effect of probes like S-benzylated derivatives of mercaptopurine nucleosides. The interaction between the probes and the carrier is competitive and reversible and it takes place at a site different from the substrate binding site. The Ki for the most potent derivative p-nitrobenzyl-6-mercaptoinosine is 0.15 n Molar at 20 degrees C. The effect of the probes is interpreted in terms of conformational change induced on the carrier upon binding of the probe. The carrier assumes distinct conformations depending on whether it is probe-free (form A) or probe bound (form B). Kinetic as well as chemical evidence supports the predictions of the allosteric carrier model. A single component of kinetics is observed either in the absence of inhibitor (Km form A) or at high concentrations of inhibitor (Km form B). A two component kinetics is observed at intermediate concentrations of inhibitor (some carriers in form B and others in form A).

Two forms have also different susceptibilities to the action of organomercurials: form A is insensitive whereas form B is highly inhibited by the chemical modified of SH groups.

To obtain a clearer concept of the mechanism of organic solute transport in mammalian cells, we have attempted to reconstitute a functional transport system for amino acids from plasma membranes of Ehrlich ascites cells. Purified plasma membranes were dissolved in 2% Na cholate--4 M urea, a mixture which brought over 85% of the membrane proteins into solution. After centrifugation of the solubilized material for 2 hrs at 100,000 x g, the supernatant was dialyzed in the cold for 20 hrs with additional lipid. The reformed vesicles were tested for the ability to transport amino acids. The preliminary results obtained show that the uptake of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid can be inhibited by L-methionine and much less by L-leucine as would be predicted from the known properties of alpha-aminoisobutyric transport in the intact cells. In addition, it has been possible to show accelerated efflux of intravesicular phenylalanine when phenylalanine is added to the trans side (medium side).

The degree of resistance is the function of the duration of selection to the same extent as the loss of resistance depends on it. The period of time during which the insecticide has been used is of decisive importance for the stability of resistance.

As maternally administered 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BudR) is very quickly degraded by the liver, a combination of whole embryo culture and organ culture techniques was adopted to expose postimplantation mouse embryos to the analog and to study the effects of long-term embryos were exposed to increasing concentrations of BudR for 12 or 24 h. Forelimbs of the treated embryos were then organ-cultured in drug-free medium and the extent of cartilage development in the explants examined. Exposure of embryos to 50-150 mug/ml of BudR for 24 h resulted in significant inhibition of chondrogenesis in the subsequent limb cultures and the effect was related to dose. After treatment with 150 mug/ml of the drug, the forelimbs of the early 11-day embryos (somite stage 26-29) showed an almost complete lack of cartilage, while the limbs of mid-11 th-day embryos (somite stage 32-34) were not nearly as sensitive and exhibited about 50% reduction in the amount of cartilage development. We conclude that if embryos in which the limb development is at a very early stage of development are exposed to BudR, the future course of limb differentiation is permanently and irreversibly damaged, resulting in a partial or even complete suppression of chondrogenesis in the organ. As both the dose and perhaps also the duration of treatment were critical, we suggest that the rather low frequency of reported limb malformations after in vivo injection of teratological doses of BudR may be due to only a small amount of the chemical reaching the embryos.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034666"} {"pmid": "1034669", "title": "Nuclei, septation, branching and growth of Geotrichum candidum.", "content": "Nuclei, septation, branching and growth of Geotrichum candidum.

The activity of the striatal dopamine system during precipitated morphine withdrawl was studied in rats using a model in which the striatum was unilaterally inactivated by the local injection of KCl. In naive rats dopamine agonists administered just prior to KCL induced ipsilateral turning or circling, while dopamine antagonists in the same situation caused contralateral turning. Withdrawal precipitated by morphine antagonists in rats made dependent by repeated implantation of morphine pellets induced contralateral circling during unilateral inactivation of the striatum. This contralateral circling was only slightly enhanced by haloperidol, but strongly enhanced by a low dosage of apomorphine as well as by some weak dopamine agonists such as CB 154 or By 101. However, high doses of apomorphine completely reversed the withdrawal-induced contralateral circling into ipsilateral circling. Other dopamine agonists, such as d-amphetamine, L-Dopa and piribedil, did not abolish the withdrawal-induced contralateral circling, however, they caused the appearance of an additional ipsilateral circling. Other types of drugs which are known to intensify withdrawal-induced jumping (desipramine, atropine, caffeine) enhanced contralateral circling. There are also other parallels jumping and contralateral circling induced by withdrawal.

With repeated breeding there is extensive elastolysis and calcification in the aorta. In aortae with developing arterial disease, prolyl hydroxylase activity is elevated as is both aortic protein and hydroxyproline, indicative of increased collagen deposition associated with the sclerotic degeneration. As the disease becomes very severe, however, prolyl hydroxylase activity declines, possibly associated with decreased metabolic activity in the severely calcified aorta. Lactation, followed by forced weaning, may condition the development or arterial disease through effect on collagen metabolism. During the first breeding cycle, aortic prolyl hydroxylase activity is elevated for 5 to 10 days after weaning. This increased collagen metabolism in the aorta may be a primary event in the development of the advanced calcific lesions characteristic of the lesions in breeder rats, and may be affected by hormones associated with different phases of the reproductive cycle.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034899"} {"pmid": "1034907", "title": "The M. omohyoideus of the mouse as a convenient mammalian muscle preparation.

Renal tubular reabsorption of taurine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and beta-alanine was studied in vivo et situ by continuous microperfusion of single proximal tubules of the rat. In each case, reabsorption was much slower than that for other amino acids that have been studied. With a concentration of 0.1 mmol/l in initial load was reabsorbed over perfusion distance of 3 mm. Taurine reabsorption saturated with only 2.17 mmol/l in initial perfusate. Assuming simple two-parameter kinetics, upper limits for Km of 0.54 mmol/l and forVmax of 0.59 pmol-cm-1--s-1 for tubular reabsorption of taurine were estimated. High (20 mmol/l) concentrations of taurine or beta-alanine in perfusate completely inhibited GABA reabsorption, but L-phenylalanine (20 mmol/l) had no significant effect.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the mechanisms of coronary adaptation to sudden changes in myocardial oxygen demand that occur during excitement. An excitatory response was evoked either by electrical stimulation of the hypothalamic defence area or by noise (discharge of a fire-arm). Continuous measurement of the oxygen saturation in coronary venous blood was used to judge, whether an increase in coronary flow was adequate to match an increased myocardial oxygen demand. During the excitatory response heart rate, cardiac output and coronary flow increased. However, the increase in coronary flow was not adequate to meet the increased metabolic requirement as indicated by a decrease in coronary venous oxygen saturation. In dogs with experimental atrioventricular block, and with heart rate controlled by external pacing, a rapid coronary dilation occurred during the excitatory response and was accompanied by an increase in coronary venous oxygen saturation. This rapid coronary dilation was abolished by beta-adrenergic blockade. The pattern of coronary flow and coronary venous oxygen saturation that occurred during the excitatory response in normal dogs could be mimicked in dogs with atrioventricular block by increasing the ventricular pacing rate. However, when identical increases in heart rate were induced either excitement or by external pacing, the drop in coronary venous oxygen saturation was significantly larger in the paced series. This demonstrates, that an increase in heart rate is responsible for the transient decrease in coronary venous oxygen saturation during the excitatory response. From these experiments it is concluded that a rapid neurogenic dilation of the coronary vessels occurs during the excitatory response. Under normal conditions this rapid neurogenic dilation is masked by the effect of the accompanying increase in heart rate on extravascular coronary resistance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1034910"} {"pmid": "1034913", "title": "Renal urate transport during variations in urate synthesis in the rat.", "content": "Renal urate transport during variations in urate synthesis in the rat.

Hypoxanthine infusion increased plasma urate rapidly and also increased the urinary urate excretion and its renal clearance. However, when the plasma urate was maintained constant, hypoxanthine had no effect upon renal urate transport. Conversely, allpurinol infusion rapidly diminished the plasma urate, urinary urate excretion and its renal clearance. Again, the maintenance of a constant plasma urate concentration prevented any change in urate transport during allopurinol. The urinary degradative purine metabolic pattern was altered predictably by hypoxanthine and allopurinol.

After calcium-free saline infusion net calcium absorption was reversed similar to that of sodium and water and net secretion occurred. Concurrently, blood-to-lumen (b-l) calcium flux, measured using 45Ca, increased significantly (P less than 0.001). Following expansion with calcium-containing Ringer a similar reversal of net calcium, sodium and water flux was also observed. Again the b-l calicum flux increased but to a significantly lesser extent (P less than 0.05).

In excised, curarized and massively stimulated fast-twitch mouse gastrocnemius muscles the early twitch tension enhancements (treppe) during 1/s activity between 10 and 36 degrees C increase and affect more contractions as temperature increases. Tension output eventually declines at a temperature-independent rate. Half-relaxation time lengthens below 25 degrees C and shortens above 25 degrees C. During 1/0.63s twitches half-relaxation time lengthens even at 25 degrees C. In slow-twitch soleus muscles activity decreases twitch tension and half-relaxation time regardless of temperature. Activity shortens contraction times in both muscles. Oxygen lack induced by NaN3 cannot account satisfactorily for these results. Activation is apparently more plastic in the gastrocnemius than in the soleus, and the relationship between the rates of their activation and relaxation processes and the temperature sensitivities of these rates also seem to differ. In both muscles caffeine can convert activity-induced shortened of half-relaxation times into prolongations. In the soleus this effect is more pronounced at 30 than at 25 degrees C. At high temperature and twitch rates caffeine reduces treppe amplitude and duration without affecting the eventual twitch tension decline in the gastrocnemius while it greatly accelerates twitch tension decline in the soleus.

Acute effects of the hormones, estradiol-17beta and alphaMSH, and of neonatal pretreatment with alphaMSH on the flow of blood to regions of the brains of conscious adult rats have been determined with an indicator distribution technique. As previously reported, flows were reduced in most areas within 10 min after intravenous administration of alphaMSH; only the occipital cortex was spared. Though these effects were transitroy for most areas, perfusion of pons and medulla, cerebellum, hippocampus and parietal cortex was still low by 20 min. However, pretreatment with alphaMSH during infancy led to persistent behavioral changes which were not accompanied by flow differences. Assuming that flow changes reflect functional changes, the rapid responses to alphaMSH suggest an explanation for the effects of this hormone on visual learning and on the determination of subsequent learning behavior. By contrast, estradiol, within 10 min after injection, increased flow to most regions of the brain, especially the frontal cortex, hippocampus, basal ganglia and cerebellum; females were more affected than males. Flow changes were greater than those elicited by more obvious behavior-modifying drugs.

Quantities of monoglyceride accumulate during hydrolysis of triglyceride which are adequate to prevent inhibition by added apoLp-Ala. Accelerating reaction rates observed when the substrate contains the apoprotein at levels producing partial inhibition are also explained by monoglyceride production.

It was previously reported that PHA-incubation of a pool of peripheral-blood lymphocytes before their i.v. injection into rats submitted to total body irradiation, stimulates spleen colony formation and growth. On the same model, the present study has investigated the effect of lymphocyte preincubation with supernates obtained in short term cultures from human lymphocytes prestimulated with PHA (lymphokines). The \"in vitro\" culture of rat lymphocytes in a medium supplemented with human lymphokines showed either a marked increase of lymphocyte survival rate, or significant stimulation of lymphocyte blastogenesis, but at an extent much lower than that caused by PHA, also because in this particular experiment the culture medium was supplemented with too little amount of lymphokines. These data support the interpretation that human lymphokines may act across the species barriers. Peripheral-blood rat lymphocytes prestimulated with human lymphokines, and then injected i.v. into rats previously submitted to total body irradiation, caused significant increase in the spleen weight, as well as formation of spleen colonies quite larger and with higher erythroid differentiation - though less numerous than in the controls (i.e., in the rats injected just with untreated lymphocytes).

Inside these nodules we found aleuries in the granulation tissue and a necrotic centre enclosing the accumulated inoculum.

This accounted for an initial heterogeneity of spherules in the nodules. The original nodules fus-d and formed large fibrous adiaspiromycomas.

Two forms of activated C1s, a subcomponent of the first component of complement, were present in preparations of C1 specifically purified from rabbit serum by affinity chromatography on IgG-Sepharose 6B and were separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography in the presence of EDTA. These two activated C1s, designated C1s(I) and C1s(II), were indistinguishable with regard to hemolytic activity as well as C1s esterase activity, though they had different molecular weights. C1s(I) had a molecular weight of 106,000, consisting of H and L chains connected by disulfide bonds; the molecular weights of the chains were 70,000 and 36,000, respectively. On the other hand, C1s(II), with a molecular weight of 72,000, consisted of two chains each with a molecular weight of about 37,000, which were also connected by disulfide bonds. These results suggest that, in the case of rabbit C1s, the primary product of activation with C1r, C1s(I), may be susceptible to further cleavage of its H chain without any loss of C1s activity, resulting in the formation of C1s(II), though the active principle responsible for this conversion remains to be elucidated.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035218"} {"pmid": "1035219", "title": "Classification of loops of lampbrush chromosomes according to the arrangement of transcriptional complexes.", "content": "Classification of loops of lampbrush chromosomes according to the arrangement of transcriptional complexes. The arrangement of transcriptional units in the loops of lampbrush chromosomes from oocyte nuclei of urodele amphibia and from primary nuclei of the green alga Acetabularia have been studied in the electron microscope using spread preparations. Loops with different patterns of arrangement of matrix units (i.e. to a first approximation, transcriptional units) can be distinguished: (i) loops consisting of one active transcriptional unit; (ii) loops containing one active transcriptional unit plus additional fibril-free, i.e. apparently untranscribed, intercepts that may include 'spacer' regions; (iii) loops containing two or more transcriptional units arranged in identical or changing polarities, with or without interspersed apparent spacer regions. Morphological details of the transcriptional complexes are described. The observations are not compatible with the concept that one loop reflects one and only one transcriptional unit but, rather, lead to a classification of loop types according to the arrangement of their transcriptional units. We propose that the lampbrush chromosome loop can represent a unit for the coordinate transcription of either one gene or a set of several (different) genes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035219"} {"pmid": "1035220", "title": "Scanning electron-microscopical and other observations of sperm fertilization reactions in Limulus polyphemus L.

Sperm fertilization reactions of Limulus polyphemus were examined by scanning electron and/or light microscopy. The following were considered: sperm motility, attachment of sperm to egg, acrosome reaction, and penetration of the acrosomal filament. The spermatozoa after semination are non-motile and become active only in close proximity to a defined region surrounding the egg. Egg materials diffusing into this region induce sperm motility and stimulate large numbers of spermatozoa to move towards the egg surface. Each sperm initially attaches by the apical tip and undergoes the acrosome reaction which causes a more permanent secondary attachment by the adhesion of acrosomal contents to the egg surface. The acrosome reaction also initiates the penetration of the acrosomal filament through the egg envelope, an event occurring in 70-80% of the attached spermatozoa (about 10(6). Shortly after this penetration, a secondary reaction occurs which involves a spiralling of the flagellum and an incorporation into the sperm body of the flagellar fibrous components, which then become closely apposed to the sperm nucleus. These sperm fertilization reactions were performed or initiated with 0-34 M CaCl2 in whole eggs, egg sections, excised egg envelopes and/or the outer basement lamina of the egg envelope. The Limulus fertilization system is very valuable since sperm reactions can be examined biochemically, which may lead to a better understanding of the chemical mechanisms involved in sperm-egg interactions in all animal species.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035220"} {"pmid": "1035221", "title": "Signal emission and signal propagation during early aggregation in Dictyostelium discoideum.", "content": "Signal emission and signal propagation during early aggregation in Dictyostelium discoideum. Waves of chemotactic movement during the early phase of aggregation in Dictyostelium discoideum are of 2 kinds, concentric waves produced by cells that emit cyclic AMP signals spontaneously, and spirals generated by excitations relayed continuously around loops of excitable cells. The period of a spiral wave is the time taken for the excitation to make one complete circuit of the pacemaker loop. We have compared signal emission from the 2 types of source in time-lapse films made at a variety of temperatures. Our results show that spiral waves have a characteristic period length throughout most if not all of the early phase of aggregation, and that the period of concentric waves is generally longer and more variable. Temperature has a pronounced effect on period length and a lesser effect on propagation velocity. We find that each individual wave is propagated at constant velocity over distances of 1-2 cm but that the velocity of successive waves declines. This decline probably reflects some cumulative effect of the chemotactic excitations on the excitable properties of the aggregating cells.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035221"} {"pmid": "1035223", "title": "Angiosarcoma of pelvis presenting clinically as tuberculosis of hip.", "content": "Angiosarcoma of pelvis presenting clinically as tuberculosis of hip.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035223"} {"pmid": "1035236", "title": "Comparative study on cytological differences between high- and low-metastatic cloned cell lines of rat uterine adenocarcinoma.", "content": "Comparative study on cytological differences between high- and low-metastatic cloned cell lines of rat uterine adenocarcinoma.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035236"} {"pmid": "1035255", "title": "Altered calcium conductance in pawns, behavioural mutants of Paramecium aurelia.", "content": "Altered calcium conductance in pawns, behavioural mutants of Paramecium aurelia.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether exposure to a cycle of light and dark before the onset of the adrenal rhythm would be necessary in order for rats to develop a normal rhythm of peripheral corticosterone when placed in a test photoperiod at weaning age. Rats were reared in constant light (LL) until weaning age, at which time they were placed in a cycle of 14 h light, 10 h dark (14:10). Females born and reared in 14:10 had peak corticosterone values at 14.00 h on days 22 and 26, and at 18.00 h on days 32 and 36. Males did not display a clear-cut rhythm at 22 or 26 days but had peak corticosterone at 18.00 h on days 32 and 36. Males and females reared in LL until weaning had no rhythm as a group in 14:10 at 24 days of age, but had a corticosterone peak at 18.00 h on days 28 and 40. Females born and reared in LL and exposed to 14:10 for 1 day developed an adrenal rhythm regardless of the age at exposure, but only 25 day old animals showed a normal pattern for their age group. Puberty was advanced in rats exposed to a single day of 14:10 at 25 days of age, but was delayed in younger rats (22 days old), and was unaffected by light exposure in older rats (28 days of age). It can be concluded that early exposure to light-dark cycles is not required for the normal development of an adrenal rhythm in the weanling rat, and that the setting of the corticosterone rhythm to the photoperiod can occur quite rapidly. Rats at 25-26 days of age are able to respond differently to a light cycle challenge than younger rats.

The instrument has been most useful in the management of lesions situated in relatively inaccessible areas such as the nasopharynx, subglottic area of the larynx, and tracheobronchial tree. The advantages of laser surgery in otolaryngology are so significant that it can be recommended for continued usage. Many applications of this unique surgical instrument have been identified but others need to be explored in the future.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035443"} {"pmid": "1035441", "title": "The evaluation and treatment of superior oblique muscle palsy.", "content": "The evaluation and treatment of superior oblique muscle palsy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035441"} {"pmid": "1035448", "title": "Evaluation of the epidemic potential of western equine encephalitis virus in the northeastern United States.", "content": "Evaluation of the epidemic potential of western equine encephalitis virus in the northeastern United States. The problem of evaluating the epidemic potential of western equine encephalitis in the northeastern United States is presented and possible reasons are discussed for the present lack of human and horse cases of this disease even though increased numbers of isolations of the virus have been obtained in the East during recent years. Epidemiologic factors of vector bionomics and virus strain variations are considered. It is concluded that while this virus strain can no longer be regarded as uncommon in the Northeast, the evidence indicates there is little potential for epidemic expression of this agent in the human and horse population. This appears to be due to differences in the bionomics of the mosquito Culiseta melanura, which serves as the primary enzootic vector in the northeastern United States and in the bionomics of Culex tarsalis that is the vector in the western region of the United States. Other limiting factors in the epidemic potential may be variations between virus strains located in the East and West.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035448"} {"pmid": "1035454", "title": "The effect of lead on cells cultivated in vitro.

In a previous communication the acute effects of anorganic lead salts on L-A mouse fibroblasts cells cultured in vitro have been described. This report presents the results of long-term tests with L-A cells. Under continuous exposure lead tolerance developed, even to concentrations exceeding the LD50. The kinetics of the acquirement of resistance are demonstrated. The resistant cells adjusted more quickly to higher doses of the heavy metal than the controls. Low-resistance strains retained the growth characteristics of the parent cells, but with increasing levels of lead tolerance multiplication rates decreased significantly. After approximately 60 generations in lead-free environment the cells had to a major degree lost their resistance indicating that the induced lead tolerance is caused by adaptation rather than by mutation and selection. Lead resistance appears not to depend on lead exclusion, for the lead content of resistant cells and lead-exposed controls was found to be of a comparable order of magnitude.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035454"} {"pmid": "1035458", "title": "Breast cancer in identical twins.

In many reports the high incidence of malignancy is stressed and an active surgical approach has often been recommended. In this series of 80 women with nipple discharge the type of secretion and the result of exfoliative cytology were evaluated. Three women had cancer but the nipple discharge was important for the diagnosis in only one case. Six women had papilloma and in all the nipple discharge was essential for the diagnosis. Fibroadenosis and duct ectasia were the most common diagnoses. The blood-stained secretion was due to fibroadenosis in about half of the cases. No cancer was found in 46 women with a serous secretion. When a tumour is present nipple discharge is of little importance for the diagnosis and treatment. In the absence of a tumour and when exfoliative cytology gives no suspicion of cancer and no atypical cells or papillomatous clusters are present, an expectant attitude towards surgery seems satisfactory.

A variety of antiestrogens can be shown to antagonize estrogen action in animal model systems. Several of these compounds are useful in the management of metastatic human breast cancer. To further elucidate their mechanism of action, we studied several of these compounds using human breast cancer cell lines maintained in long-term tissue culture as a model system. Antiestrogens including tamoxifen (NSC-180973; ICI-46474), nafoxidine. CI-628, and clomiphene citrate inhibit macromolecular synthesis below control levels in two human breast cell lines. This effect is limited to cell lines which contain estrogen receptors. Simultaneous addition of as little as 1000-fold less estradiol prevents antiestrogen effects. Sequential addition of estrogen for up to 48 hours to cells incubated in antiestrogen reverses inhibition. If cells are continued in antiestrogen alone for more than about 3 days, inhibitory effects become irreversible. The cells detach from the surface of the culture vessel and are no longer viable. Tamoxifen competes with 3H-estradiol for specific receptor sites but with about a 100-fold lower apparent affinity. Direct binding of 3H-tamoxifen and 3H-estradiol to duplicate cytoplasmic extracts reveals equivalent numbers of binding sites but a 20-fold lower affinity for the antiestrogen. There is reasonable agreement between concentrations of tamoxifen which bind to receptor and concentrations which inhibit cells. Several antiestrogen compounds were studied using human breast cancer cell lines maintained in long-term tissue culture. Tamoxifen, nafoxidine, CI-628 (nitromifene citrate), and clomiphene citrate were shown to inhibit macromolecular synthesis below control levels, but only in 2 human breast cancer lines containing estrogen receptors. This antiestrogen effect was prevented by the simultaneous addition of 1000-fold less estradiol-17. Sequential addition of estrogen for up to 48 hours to cells incubated in antiestrogen reversed the inhibition but after 3 days of incubation with only antiestrogen, the effect was not reversible. Tamoxifen competed with tritiated-estradiol for receptor sites but with much less affinity. Direct binding of tritiated-tamoxifen and tritiated-estradiol revealed equal numbers of binding sites. The antiestrogen had a 20-fold less affinity for the binding sites. All other antiestrogens studied similarly inhibited cells to below control levels. It is concluded that antiestrogens do not act by simply competing with estrogen for receptor sites.

A clear relationship has been established between the expression of the CAP-resistant (CAP-R) determinants in the fusion products and the genetic homology of the parents. With increased genetic divergence, the acceptability of the CAP-R mitochondria decreased. Intraspecific cybrids and hybrids of the same strain were stable for the CAP-R marker, while those between strains were stable only in CAP. Intergeneric mouse-hamster cybrids occurred at a high frequency but were unstable in CAP, while CAP suppressed hybrid formation 100-fold. Interorder cybrids (CAP-R human X CAP-S mouse) occurred either at a moderate frequency and were stable at a low frequency and were unstable in CAP. Interorder hybrids could only be formed by challenging HAT-selected hybrids with CAP or by direct selection in ouabain and CAP. Reciprocal interorder crosses between CAP-R mouse and CAP-S human cells were unsuccessful. Interspecific cybrids contain only the chromosomes of the CAP-S parent. Interspecific hybrids selected directly in CAP segregated the chromosomes of the CAP-S parent, while hybrids selected in HAT and then CAP segregated those of the CAP-R parent. The mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) of all mouse-human cybrids and most HAT and then CAP-selected hybrids contain only the mtDNA of the CAP-S mouse parent.

Namely, it is argued that such systems have, roughly speaking, the following features. If the carrying capacity of the prey is smaller than a critical value then the predator goes extinct while the prey tends to this carrying capacity; and if the carrying capacity is greater than, but close to this critical value then there is a (globally) asymptotically stable positive equilibrium. However, unlike the classical, non-delay Volterra-Lotka model, if the carrying capacity of the prey is too large then this equilibrium becomes unstable.

Teleost retinal cones contract in light and elongate in darkness. This paper describes the disposition of microtubules and cytoplasmic filaments in cone cells of 2 species of fish (Haemulon sciurus and Lutjanus griseus). In Haemulon, the neck-like \"myoid\" region of the cone changes in length from 5 mu to 75 mu. Maximal observed rates of elongation and contraction are comparable to that of chromosome movement in mitosis (2-3 mu/min). Microtubules presumably participate in cone elongation, since numerous longitudinal microtubules are present in the myoid region, and colchicine blocks dark-induced elongation. Myoid shortening, on the other hand, appears to be an active contractile process. Disruption of microtubules in dark-adapted cones does not produce myoid shortening in the absence of light, and light-induced myoid shortening is blocked by cytochalasin-B. Cone cells possess longitudinally-oriented thin filaments which bind myosin subfragment-1 to form arrowhead complexes typical of muscle actin. Myoid thin filaments are clearly observed in negatively stained preparations of isolated cones which have been disrupted with detergent after attachment to grids. These myoid filaments are not, however, generally preserved by conventional fixation, though bundles of thin filaments are preserved in other regions of the cell. Thus, actin filaments are poorly retained by fixation in precisely the region of the cone cell where contraction occurs. Cone cells also possess longitudinally-oriented thick filaments 130-160 A in diameter. That these thick filaments may be myosin is suggested by the presence of side-arms with approximately 150 A periodicity. The linear organization of the contractile apparatus of the retinal cone cell makes this cell a promising model for morphological characterization of the disposition of actin and myosin filaments during contraction in a nonmuscle cell.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035780"} {"pmid": "1035783", "title": "A report on the national professional standards review council meeting May 3-4, 1976; Washington, DC.", "content": "A report on the national professional standards review council meeting May 3-4, 1976; Washington, DC.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035783"} {"pmid": "1035781", "title": "The surface events of fertilization: the movements of the spermatozoon through the sea urchin egg surface and the roles of the surface layers.", "content": "The surface events of fertilization: the movements of the spermatozoon through the sea urchin egg surface and the roles of the surface layers. The sea urchin egg surface at fertilization has been examined with the scanning electron microscope to reveal the movements of the spermatozoon from the exterior, through the surface layers, and into the egg cytoplasm. The layers that the spermatozoon encounter have been studied to determine their physical and chemical natures and their role in early development. By studying the outside of whole eggs and the inner face of surfaces isolated shortly after fertilization, it has been possible to compile data on the movements of the spermatozoon through the egg surface. The spermatozoon initially contacts the egg with the elongated acrosomal process. The vitelline sheet, the outermost layer of the egg, separates slightly next to the attached spermatozoon. As membrane fusion between the gametes occurs, the plasma membrane from the egg engulfs the spermhead, the cortical granules start to discharge their contents, and a spreading surface deformation, concommitant with a distortion of the fibrous cortex, is initiated. A cluster of elongate microville surround the perpendicularly fusing spermatozoon. These microvilli interidigitate as the spermatozoon is forced to lie upon the egg surface between the plasma membrane and the matrix of cortical fibers. The spermatozoon then rotates additionally to enter the egg cytoplasm with the posterior end first; it has rotated 180 degrees through the cell surface. Finally, it detaches into the egg cytoplasm, leaving a scar in the cortex through which it penetrated. The egg cortex, previously unobserved by electron microscopy, is revealed to be composed of 50-200 nm fibers. At fertilization they are uniformly organized but during later development this order is lost. The cortex is from 0.2-0.5 micronm thick and is a contractile structure. The role of the outer surface in releasing the cell from the metabolic constraints of the unfertilized egg is shown, and the apparent differences in the mobilities of the membranes derived from the sperm and from the egg are demonstrated.

The kinetics of 51Cr-tagged platelets was studied in 10 patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and in 8 patients with congestive splenomegaly. The surgically removed spleens were examined for their platelet content and for their microscopic structure. In idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura the life-span of platelets was reduced, the number of platelets washed out from the spleen averaged 4.36 X 10(10)/100 g splenic tissue (intrasplenic platelet reserve). The index platelets per g splenic tissue/platelets per ml whole blood reflecting the tendency of platelets to concentrate in the spleen was 8.06. Microscopically, extensive phagocytosis of platelets by macrophages and a preserved lienal architecture were seen. In the group of congestive splenomegaly the life-span of platelets was not significantly shortened and the intrasplenic platelet reserve agreed with the figure found in idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. The spleen was characterized by fibroid degeneration and endothelial hypertrophy causing partial obstruction of the sinusoids.

Intramembrane faces were visualized in the marine dinoflagellate Gonyaulax polyedra by the freeze-fracture technique, in order to test a prediction of a membrane model for circadian oscillations--i.e;, that membrane particle distribution and size change with time in the circadian cycle. Cells from each of four cell suspensions in continuous light (500 1x, 20-21 degrees C) were frozen, without fixation or cryoprotection, at four circadian times in a cycle. This paper reports findings concerning the membranes associated with the theca, particularly the cytoplasmic membrane and the membrane of the large peripheral vesicle. While the number and size distribution of the particles of the PF face of the cytoplasmic membrane were constant with time, those of the EF face of the peripheral vesicle doubled in number at 18 h circadian time as compared with 06 h. Particles of the 120-A size class, in particular, were more numerous at 12 and 18 h circadian time than at 00 and 06 h. While the finding does not provide definitive confirmation of the membrane hypothesis for circadian rhythms, it is consistent with this model.

Intracellular-reduced glutathione (GSH) was removed by thiol-oxidation with diamide during in vitro perfusion of the corneal endothelium. By 15 min the normal mosaic-like pattern of the endothelial cells was disrupted by serpentine-like lines of cell separation at the cell juntions. After 45 min of perfusion, infividual clusters of cells formed cup-shaped islands. The resultant exposure of Descemet's membrane to the perfusion solution resulted in corneal swelling. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the endothelial cells separated at the apical junctions and that the microfilaments in the apical cytoplasm of cells formed dense bands, whereas the other subcellular organelles were normal in appearance. The change in cellular shape may be due to loss of cellular adhesion which results in the condensation of the microfilaments or contraction of the microfilaments. The addition of glucose to the perfusate prevented the diamide effect, and the diamide effect could be reversed upon removal and perfusion of a glutathione bicarbonate Ringer's solution. These results suggest that the ratio of reduced to oxidized glutathione in the endothelial cells plays a role in the maintenance of the endothelial cell barrier function.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035910"} {"pmid": "1035912", "title": "Ultrastructural features of chromatin nu bodies.", "content": "Ultrastructural features of chromatin nu bodies.

Role in cytoplasmic movement and phagocytosis. Actin and myosin of rabbit pulmonary macrophages are influenced by two other proteins. A protein cofactor is required for the actin activation of macrophage myosin Mg2 ATPase activity, and a high molecular weight actin-binding protein aggregates actin filaments (Stossel T.P., and J.H. Hartwig. 1975. J. Biol. Chem. 250:5706-5711)9 When warmed in 0.34 M sucrose solution containing Mg2-ATP and dithiothreitol, these four proteins interact cooperatively. Acin-binding protein in the presence of actin causes the actin to form a gel, which liquifies when cooled. The myosin contracts the gel into an aggregate, and the rate of aggregation is accelerated by the cofactor. Therefore, we believe that these four proteins also effec the temperature-dependent gelation and aggregation of crude sucrose extracts pulmonary macrophages containing Mg2-ATP and dithiothreitol. The gelled extracts are composed of tangled filaments. Relative to homogenates of resting macrophages, the distribution of actin-binding protein in homogenates of phagocytizing macrophages is altered such that 2-6 times more actin-binding protein is soluble. Sucrose extracts of phagocytizing macrophages gel more rapidly than extracts of resting macrophages. Phagocytosis by pulmonary macrophages involves the formation of peripheral pseudopods containing filaments. The findings suggest that the actin-binding protein initiates a cooperative interaction of contractile proteins to generate cytoplasmic gelation, and that phagocytosis influences the behavior of the actin-binding protein.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1035911"} {"pmid": "1035915", "title": "Mechanical damage to rabbit tracheal epithelium from inhaling inert pyrite dust of needle-like structure.

The morphological appearance of the ciliary border, especially in the first phase after termination of inhalation, suggests a disturbance of the self-cleaning function of the eipithelium of respiratory passages.

The alpha-Helix content of the flagellar components was diminished in the presence of zinc, cadmium and mercury, while no other heavy metals contributed to such a change. The original content of alpha-helix was restored by the subsequent addition of ATP or GTP, the former being more effective. An oscillation was found to occur in the alpha-helix content measured at 222 micron in the presence of zinc and ATP.

Stimulation of the anterior thalamic nuclei, the nucleus (n.) mediodorsalis thalami (MD) and the n. posteromedianus thalami at 2 p.m. on the day of proestrus prevented spontaneous ovulation and the release of LH which takes place on that day. No effect on ovulation or LH release was observed after stimulation of the n. lateralis thalami, the n. ventralis thalami or other thalamic nuclei or after passing a cathodic current through the n.

Replacement with 1.75 microng L-thyroxine in these rats produces a prolonged oestrus. However, in adult persistent-oestrous rats (90 days after exposure to continous illumination) thyroidectomy does not interrupt persistent vaginal cornification. In rats receiving 100 microng of testosterone propionate subcutaneously at 5 days of age, persistent oestrus and polyfollicular ovaries develop.

Replacement treatment with 1.75 microng L-thyroxine in these rats produces a prolonged oestrus and polyfollicular ovaries. However, in adult persistent oestrus rats, thyroidectomy at 130 days does not interrup persistent vaginal cornification.

The microinjection technique affords us the possibility to introduce purified components into living cells and to answer the question of what effects the change introduced has on cellular metabolism. This technique can therefore be used to test the hypothesis that transfer RNA plays a regulatory role in cellular protein synthesis. Prior to these experiments it is important, however, to test whether transfer RNA microinjected into amphibian oocytes is stable and functional inside this cells. These two questions are answered affirmatively in this report. The stability of tRNA was tested by following the content of TCA precipitable counts inside the oocytes at different times after microinjection of radioactive yeast and E. coli tRNA and by polyacrilamide gel electrophoresis of the material recovered from the cell. The results clearly indicate that tRNAs are resistant to the action of occyte ribonucleases that degrade other RNAs such as 5S RNA. The functionality of the injected tRNA was tested by assaying the intracellular aminoacylation of microinjected yeast tRNA. The aminoacylation of bulk yeast (3H) tRNA introduced into Xenopus laevis oocytes was tested by the capacity of the material recovered 5 hours after injection into the cell to form a ternary complex with wheat protein synthesis elongation factor 1 and GTP. The complex only forms with aminoacyl-tRNA and not with unacylated tRNA. This method showed that at least 80% of the tRNA introduced into the cell was aminoacylated in vivo. A direct assay for internal aminoacylation made use of microinjection of pure tRNAPhe and subsequent determination by phenol extraction of (14C)Phe-tRNA content of oocytes that had been incubated for 2 hours in a medium containing (14C)phenylalanine. The results obtained showed that the oocytes could internally aminoacylate 200-500 times more tRNAPhe that the cell normally contains. Appropiate controls demonstrated that the aminoacylation was aminoacid and tRNA specific and that periodate oxidized tRNAPhe could not be in vivo aminoacylated but tRNAPhe deprived of its Y base could accept the aminoacid. A brief study demonstrated that bulk yeast tRNA and tRNAPhe without its Y base did not inhibit endogenous protein synthesis but a similar amount of tRNAPhe caused 50% inhibition and periodate-oxidized tRNAPhe a 95% inhibition.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036012"} {"pmid": "1036084", "title": "Students in a class by themselves.

Analysis of types and syndromes found in France by post mortem examinations and total worm counts. We have completed an analysis of the total worm counts (including digests) performed on 74 weaned cattle of various ages and sacrified in our laboratory. We identified 21 cases of animals suffering from Ostertagiosis (harbouring over 40,000 adults + immatures in the lumen and the mucosa) or moribund animals showing symptoms and lesions of Ostertagiosis. The results are presented with the Parasite profiles (percentage of G.I. genera) and Parasite levels (\"Very low, Low and Average\" for carrier animals and \"High\" and \"Very High\" for animals suffering from parasitism). We have observed typical cases of Type I on weaned calves but not on calves grazing when suckling their own dams (Charollais, Limousin type), Pretype II and typical Type II on 2 year old or older animals. Variants of Type II were found : Fasciologis/Ostertagiosis complex and Parturient Ostertagiosis which seems to be well-known by practitioners. Complexes of a clinical Type II + stage of Pretype II with 1 to 2 million hypobiotic L4 larvae could explain the difficulty to control very severe diseases. Oedematous ostertagiosis is also described as an original type or syndrome in 2 to 3 year old cattle : the typical lesion is a dramatic oedema of the abomasum which is found enlarged up to X 2 or X 3 times its normal size/weight. The abomasal folds and the edges are filled with a watery oedema and have an appearance of \"foetal membranes\". As only few parasites are present the disease is considered to be an allergic over reaction in adult animals. It is recommended that the peptic digestion of the abomasal mucosa and differential counts of the various developmental stages of the parasites be added to the routine technique used in diagnosis laboratories.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036131"} {"pmid": "1036133", "title": "Subcellular distribution of a rat hepatic binding protein specific for uridine diphosphoglucose.", "content": "Subcellular distribution of a rat hepatic binding protein specific for uridine diphosphoglucose.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036133"} {"pmid": "1036134", "title": "Protection of chlorophyll by phospholipids from photooxidation.", "content": "Protection of chlorophyll by phospholipids from photooxidation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036134"} {"pmid": "1036135", "title": "Transition metal ions induce cell growth in NRK cells synchronized in G1 by picolinic acid.", "content": "Transition metal ions induce cell growth in NRK cells synchronized in G1 by picolinic acid.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036135"} {"pmid": "1036136", "title": "Purification of the sperm-binding factor from the egg of the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus.", "content": "Purification of the sperm-binding factor from the egg of the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036136"} {"pmid": "1036138", "title": "The relationship between surface protease activity and the rate of cell proliferation in normal and transformed cells.", "content": "The relationship between surface protease activity and the rate of cell proliferation in normal and transformed cells.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036138"} {"pmid": "1036137", "title": "Association of a GDP binding activity with initiation factor eIF-2 from calf liver.", "content": "Association of a GDP binding activity with initiation factor eIF-2 from calf liver.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036137"} {"pmid": "1036164", "title": "Focus on co-therapy in a rehabilitation programme for advanced schizophrenia.", "content": "Focus on co-therapy in a rehabilitation programme for advanced schizophrenia.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036164"} {"pmid": "1036165", "title": "The standardization of terminology of lower urinary tract function.", "content": "The standardization of terminology of lower urinary tract function.

The concentration used was 10 microgram/ml, with a 4.25 ml/min flow. The relative effect of Salbutamol upon CCP was its decrease--30.4% against a relative spontaneous variation of --3.6%.

The stability with time of the spontaneous as well as the oxytocin-triggered functional activity of uterine borns isolated from induced estrus rats and immersed in a medium with lactate as the substrate was not affected by the presence of oxomate (an inhibitor of lactate dehydrogenase) at 10 or 20mM. On the contrary, the oxytocin-driven and the spontaneous motility of preparations obtained from 15 days castrated rats diminished significantly following in addition of the enzyme inhibitor. Furthermore, uterine borns from ovariectomized animals injected with 17-beta estradiol, regain the lack of functional sensivity towards oxamate. In addition, determinations of pyruvate levels in homogenates of uterine tissue, previously suspended in lactate medium (as in the functional experiments), demonstrate to be significantly reduced, following oxamate. Several possible reasons, attempting to explain these findings, are discussed. The pharmacological effects of oxamate on the spontaneous or the oxytocin-induced motility of isolated rat uterus in a solution with lactate as the sole external substrate were investigated during estrus, following ovariectomy, and after castration accompanied with estradiol replacement therapy. Uterine preparations were tested for mechanical activity (isometric-developed tension and the frequency of contractions). Initial oxytocin-induced activity of the uterus of rats in induced estrus was significantly greater than spontaneous activity (p.01). Oxamate added to the suspension was ineffective in modifying this activity. In castrate rats, however, the addition of oxamate to the medium significantly reduced oxytocin-driven and spontaneous motility. Those ovariectomized rats receiving replacement therapy were also resistant to oxamate effects. The effects of oxamate upon pyruvate levels of oxytocin-exposed uterine tissue were also determined. In the presence of oxamate, levels of uterine pyruvate in all the hormonal conditions were significantly lower than in controls (p.001).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036172"} {"pmid": "1036187", "title": "Modifying effects of inactivated bovine serum on the acute toxicity of methylmercuric chloride in cells cultured in vitro.", "content": "Modifying effects of inactivated bovine serum on the acute toxicity of methylmercuric chloride in cells cultured in vitro.

Inactivated bovine serum protected the E-cells from killing by MMC in vitro. The apparent MMC toxicity was reduced as the serum concentration increased, but remaining partially at high concentrations. Thus the serum increases the threshold for MMC toxicity.

Injections of MEL in the p.m. were completely ineffective in inhibiting either the growth of the gonads and adnexa or the pituitary Prl levels if the animals had been pinealectomized. Likewise, superior cervical ganglionectomy, decentralization of the superior cervical ganglia and anterior hypothalamic deafferetation, procedures which interfere with the sympathetic nerve supply to the pineal gland, negated the ability of p.m. MEL injections to inhibit reproduction in male hamsters. The results indicate that daily MEL injections are capable of suppressing reproductive physiology in male hamsters, but only when the indole is injected late in the light period, in this case, 13 h after light on. The findings also illustrate that daily p.m. MEL injections can inhibit reproduction only in animals that have an intact and sympathetically innervated pineal gland.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036241"} {"pmid": "1036244", "title": "Argon and xenon photocoagulation in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.", "content": "Argon and xenon photocoagulation in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036244"} {"pmid": "1036243", "title": "Effects of castration on entrainment of the peripheral corticosterone rhythm in rats before and after puberty.", "content": "Effects of castration on entrainment of the peripheral corticosterone rhythm in rats before and after puberty.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036243"} {"pmid": "1036242", "title": "Quantitative histochemical studies of the hypothalamus.

The sum of NAE plus acid retention, as \"total acid\", was used to investigate the relationship between nitrogen balance, weight gain and acid-base homeostasis. During the first three postnatal weeks, nitrogen intake, urinary and faecal loss of nitrogen as well as the nitrogen retention were rapidly increasing. Later, urinary excretion continued to rise, the intake remained unchanged and as a result, the amount of retained nitrogen decreased slightly. Urinary NAE was steadily increasing to reach the maximum of 2.8 mEq/kg by the fourth week. Acid retention was the most pronounced in the second and third week, thereafter it fell until the end of the study. The importance of NAE relative to acid retention was continuously increasing throughout the observation period. The \"total acid\" increased gradually and reached its peak value in the third week of life. Subsequently a continuous fall was seen. During the first three weeks of life there was a significant positive correlation between \"total acid\" and nitrogen intake and urinary nitrogen extraction. Since the increase in \"total acid\" went parallel with the increasing nitrogen retention, the latter may be assumed to be an additional factor in producing acidosis. Calculated per 100 mg nitrogen ingested, retained or excreted with urine, \"total acid\" was decreasing with the increasing rate of weight gain.

These and other peculiarities may result from a number of different factors: biological, peculiar parental attitude, and especially the twin situation itself, the psychology of the twin as an individual being a function of the psychology of the twin pair. Twin peculiarities have for a long time been ignored. On the one hand, psychology ignored the couple reality (it was a \"one-body\" psychology), and on the other, the twin method classically postulated that twins are not atypical and may therefore be used as a test for the general population. As a matter of fact, twin psychology opens a new way to science. The twin situation may serve as a paradigm for the general study of the couple effect, namely, for the objective analysis of personality as a consequence of the relations between self and others.

From the final data, the precariousness of the sense of identity in the twins comes out indirectly in their passive and conformistic acceptance of the paternal model.

Medium CMRL-1969 supplemented with either foetal calf, calf or adult bovine sera, or a combination of the various sera, was used to subcultivate diploid cells for the preparation of substrates for vaccine production. Supplementation with calf or adult bovine sera gave satisfactory cell yields for at least 3-4 population doublings. The finite lifespan of the diploid cells grown in media supplemented with foetal calf was always longer than with calf or adult bovine sera. However, a combined supplement of adult serum plus a low concentration of foetal calf serum gave results equally as good as foetal calf serum alone. Sera obtained aseptically from adult animals kept in isolation and monitored constantly for health are more desirable than sera obtained from abattoirs. Selection of donor animals and pooling of certain serum batches were found to be important for the preparation of serum supplements.

The amount of serum protein required for clonal growth of normal diploid human and chicken fibroblasts has been reduced more than 90% by development of improved synthetic media and culture conditions. The following has contributed significantly to the reduction: (1) replacement of specific serum proteins with defined small molecular nutrients; (2) precise quantitative balance of all defined nutrients for optimal growth of single cells of each type under consideration; (3) modification of the culture substrate; (4) improvement of the cell harvesting technique. By combining these improvements, optimal growth of human fibroblasts (fetal lung, newborn foreskin, amniotic fluid) and chicken embryo fibroblasts occurs in synthetic media supplemented with 500 microgram/ml dialyzed fetal bovine serum protein [equivalent to 1% (v/v) whole serum]. The human fibroblasts form large colonies at a suboptimum rate at 25 microgram/ml dialyzed serum protein [equivalent to 0.05% (v/v) whole serum] and several divisions can be obtained in the complete absence of serum protein.

During gestation the P value at 24 degrees C decreased steadily from about 0-4 to 0-2 and the value of P (24 degrees C) = 0-310 has been tentatively chosen as the threshold above which respiratory distress syndrome may develop. The described method, which requires a specially designed instrument, offers a series of important advantages over the presently available methods.

However, no detectable ESF or renal erythropoietic factor could be extracted from the kidneys at the time of maximal ultrastructural changes. Although some ESF-inhibitory material was demonstrated, it could not be extracted into lipid solvents.

A method potentially capable of enhancing the effectiveness of therapeutic enzymes such as L-asparaginase was investigated. The method was suggested by the following properties that have been observed for lectins injected into tissues: (1) six lectins with differing specificities were retained near the site of injection in the feet of mice 10 to 100 times longer than several non-lectin proteins. Prolonged retention of 125I-labelled concanavalin A was also observed in other normal and malignant mouse tissues. (2) The retention of 125I-labelled concanavalin A was not affected by prior immunization against concanavalin A. (3) Electrophoresis of tissue extracts on sodium dodecyl sulfate-poly-acrylamide gels followed by radioautography indicated that the 125I-labelled concanavalin A retained in the tissue remained as intact in form as prior to injection. Since the therapeutic efficacy of many enzymes may be enhanced by localization at the intended site of action, in principle it should be possible to enhance the effectiveness of therapeutic enzymes by combining the tissue-localizing properties of a lectin with therapeutic effectiveness of the enzyme. A conjugate of E. coli L-asparaginase and concanavalin A has been prepared by covalent cross-linking with glutaraldehyde and has been shown to be retained in mouse tissue 90 times longer than the free enzyme. However, it is completely ineffective in the treatment of the L-asparaginase-sensitive lymphosarcoma 6C3HED in C3H/HeJ mice.

Tolamolol (UK-6558-01) is a relatively cardioselective beta receptor antagonist which is effective clinically in the treatment of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. Animal studies suggest tolamolol may have significant antifibrillatory properties. The effect of tolamolol on the passive membrane properties of sheep cardiac Purkinje fibers was studied using multiple microelectrode techniques. In sodium-deficient Tyrode's solution, we measured the resting transmembrane voltage (Vr) at differing external potassium concentrations (K+]0, investigated current-voltage relationships and per formed cable analysis. Tolamolol was found to hyperpolarize the membrane in the presence of a large driving force [i.e., when (Vr - VK) was significantly greater than zero, where VK is the potassium equilibrium voltage ]; to hyperpolarize fibers with a Vr decreased due to stretch at [K+]0 = 4.0 mM; to increase membrane chord and slope potassium conductance; to decrease the membrane length constant; and to decrease the membrane time constant. In normal sodium Tyrode's solution, tolamolol could suppress automaticity. These results suggest that tolamolol increases membrane potassium conductance within the range of the pacemaker potential. This action can account, in part, for its ability to suppress automaticity and for its ability to prevent reentrant arrhythmias. In normal sodium Tyrode's solution, tolamolol suppressed oscillatory and sustained rhythmic activity occurring at a low transmembrane voltage which may be related to its alleged antifibrillatory effects.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036501"} {"pmid": "1036502", "title": "Correlation between analgesia and the decrease of acetylcholine turnover rate in cortex and hippocampus elicited by morphine, meperidine, viminol R2 and azidomorphine.", "content": "Correlation between analgesia and the decrease of acetylcholine turnover rate in cortex and hippocampus elicited by morphine, meperidine, viminol R2 and azidomorphine. In rats, an ED50 for analgesia of morphine, meperidine, viminol R2 or azidomorphine decreases the turnover rate of acetylcholine (TRACh) in cortex and hippocampus. These four analgetics fail to change to TRACh in striatum when given in a dose range from ED30 for analgesia up to a cataleptic dose. Viminol S2, a nonanalgesic stereoisomer of vimonol R2, fails to decrease the TRACh in cortex and hippocampus. Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist, also fails to change the cortical and hippocampal TRACh but it antagonizes the decrease in cortical and hippocampal TRACh elicited by the four analgetics. Since the ED50 of these four analgetics fails to change the TRACh in striatum which contains a high density of opiate receptors and intrinsic cholinergic neurons, but decreases the TRACh in hippocampus and cortex which contain a low density of opiate receptors, it can be inferred that opiate receptors are not exclusively involved in the regulation of TRACh.

The metabolic responses to increased amounts of dietary cholesterol include, in man, a reduction in the synthesis and an increase in the re-excretion of cholesterol. The effectiveness of these compensating mechanisms in preventing increases in the plasma cholesterol concentration was studied in nine subjects. Cholesterol absorption, the excretion of bile acids, the excretion of endogenous neutral steroids, and the cholesterol balance (synthesis) were measured twice during intakes of cholesterol of about 250 and 750 mg/day. The serum of the compensating mechanisms (reduction in synthesis and increase in excretion of cholesterol) almost equalled the increase in absorbed cholesterol when the intake was raised by 500 mg (mean change in compensation, 226 mg/day; mean changes in absorption, 230 mg/day). In three subjects in whom re-excretion of cholesterol was predominant and compensated for absorbed cholesterol, the plasma cholesterol levels rose substantially. In five others, in whom the predominant change was reduction in cholesterol synthesis, the rise in plasma cholesterol levels was not significant.

A collaborative study of these materials was carried out by six laboratories in six different countries. The FSH and LH activities of the Standard were assayed in terms of those of the Second International Reference Preparation of Human Menopausal Gonadotrophins, Urinary, for Bioassay, which it replaces. The results from 20 valid FSH assays and 30 valid LH assays (using four different methods) obtained in this way gave a weighted combined potency estimate for FSH of 53.7 IU, with 95 % fiducial limits of 47.2-61.1 IU, and for LH of 46.2 IU, with 95 % fiducial limits of 43.3-49.3 IU. Accelerated degradation studies of the Standard stored at elevated temperatures suggested that the stability of both FSH and LH activities under normal storage conditions would be satisfactory. The FSH and LH activities of the two batches of working standard (WS-A and WS-B) were compared with those of the Standard and were not found to differ significantly, except for the LH activity of WS-B which appeared to be slightly higher than that of the Standard. Accelerated degradation studies did not show any significant differences in stability between the Standard and batches of working standards. On the basis of these results the Standard has been established by WHO and allocated a potency for FSH of 54 IU per ampoule and for LH 46 IU per ampoule.

Epidemiological findings from the city of Cali, Colombia, support the hypothesis that water supply and iodine intake are not the only dietary factors which influence the magnitude of the goitre endemia. Experiments were conducted in rats to determine whether casein has a counteracting effect on the goitrogenic and antithyroid activities of methimazole (MMI) and goitrogenic water extracts (GWE) from the endemic area of the Cauca Valley. Female albino rats (Charles River, DC strain) 100-110 g initial weight, receiving 12 mug of iodine daily, were divided into three groups annd put on special diets: protein-free, 8 % casein, or 60 % casein, respectively. Each group (24 rats) was then divided into three subgroups. Subgroup one received goitrogen-free water and was used as a control. Subgroup two was administered MMI, 50 mug/day/rat. Subgroup three was given per animal a daily amount of GWE equivalent in antithyroid potency to 50 mug of MMI. At 77 days, the thyroid glands were studied for weight, 131I uptake, and 127I concentration. Animals on the protein-free diet showed significantly (P less than 0.05 - less than 0.01) larger thyroid glands per 100 g body weight and lower thyroidal 4 h 131I uptake and 127I-concentrations than rats on casein diets. These differences were significantly increased (P less than 0.01) by the administration of MMI and GWE. All the effects were completely reversed by the 60 % casein diet showing no differences between control rats and those on MMI or GWE. Rats on 8 % casein showed intermediate values between those of animals on protein-free and 60 % casein diets; differences were still present between the control as against the MMI or GWE groups, The results indicate that under these experimental conditions, a poor-protein diet impairs the thyroidal transport of iodine, decreases its concentration in the thyroid and is accompanied by an enlargement of the gland. Under these circumstances, the action of thiourea-like antithyroid agents is enhanced. The administration of protein reverses these alterations and decreases the action of such antithyroid agents. Whether the changes observed are due to a direct action of casein on the thyroid and/or to effects of malnutrition on the metabolism of antithyroid compounds remains to be determined.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036649"} {"pmid": "1036651", "title": "The distribution of blood flow to the reproductive tract of anaesthetized ewes near oestrus.", "content": "The distribution of blood flow to the reproductive tract of anaesthetized ewes near oestrus.

The formation of [3H]oestradiol macromolecule complexes was studied in vivo and in vitro in the kidney, lung and liver of intact foetal guinea pig. Specific binding of [3H]oestradiol was demonstrated in the cytosol and nuclear fractions of foetal kidney. Intensive binding was found in the cytosol of foetal lung but most of the bound radioactive material (70 %) was [3H]oestrone. Some binding was found in the cytosol of foetal liver but not in the nucleus of this tissue. In the in vivo experiments, the binding of radioactive material to plasma proteins was studied: 22 % of the plasma radioactivity was bound of which 67 % was identified as oestrone sulphate. Oestradiol sulphate represented 7% and unconjugated oestradiol only 0.6 % (0.1 % of the total plasma radioactivity). On the other hand, 2-3 % of the foetal plasma radioactivity was found as unbound [3H]oestradiol. In the kidney, the formation of [3H]oestradiol complexes in the cytosol fraction does not depend on temperature while nuclear [3H]oestradiol complexes increase with increasing temperature. Maximal formation of [3H]oestradiol complexes in the cytosol fraction and the 0.1 M TRIS and 0.3 M NaCl nuclear extracts was reached after 15 min but binding in the 1 M NaCl nuclear extract continued to increase up to 30 min. After incubation of purified nuclei of foetal kidney with 1.1 x 10(-7) M [3H]oestradiol, specific binding was found in the different nucelar fractions. Specific binding was also detected in isolated nuclei previously extracted by 0.1 M TRIS and 0.3 M NaCl before being incubated with 1.1 x 10(-7) M [3H]oestradiol. The Kd of binding of [3H]oestradiol in the renal cytosol fraction is 2.5 x 10(-10) M with n = 4.5 x 10(-14) moles/mg protein. Incubation of isolated 1 M NaCl nuclear extract from foetal kidney with [3H]oestradiol gives a Kd of 3.3 x 10(-10) M with n = 2.5 x 10(-14) moles/mg protein. It is concluded that the nuclear complexes in the foetal kidney could be formed either through an intermediate cytosol complex or that the \"two step\" mechanism could take place in the nucleus.

Effect of muscular exercise on carbohydrate and fat metabolism including plasma levels of IRI and HGH. Two patients with congenital generalized lipodystrophy have been studied at rest, and during and after long-term exercise at different carefully measured work loads. The two patients represented different stages of diabetes development. Both patients derived most of their energy used during muscular exercise from carbohydrate, and comparatively little from fat. FFA levels remained low throughout the period of observation in contrast to normal individuals and patients with juvinile diabetes. The data presented seem to show that deposition of glucose and free fatty acids (FFA) as triglyceride, must be impaired and are not compatible with the concept of increased triglyceride turnover in the adipocytes. The fall in blood glucose concentration (BCG) was less than in normal individuals and juvenile diabetes during exercise, and the glucose tolerance remained unchanged following work stop in both patients (k-values unchanged), in contrast to normal persons and patients with juvenile diabetes. Both patients showed significant falls in circulating immuno-reactive insulin (IRI) levels during exercise irrespective of a rise or fall in BGC. Thus, the exercise itself might activate endogenous mechanisms which could, on the one hand increase the circulating BGC, and at the same time force circulating IRI to decrease, thus disturbing the well-known relationship between circulating glucose and IRI levels as has been exhibited in normal subjects. The high IRI levels, also during exercise in these patients, indicate a relative insulin resistance in the muscles, but less marked than the insulin resistance in the adipose tissue. The IRI response after glucose infusion did not change significantly with increasing work loads with one exception. Exercose did not alter significantly the human growth hormone (HGH) levels in either the diabetic or the non-diabetic patient indicating an abnormal regulation of the HGH secretion in congenital lipodystrophy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036653"} {"pmid": "1036654", "title": "Changes in amniotic fluid phospholipids on treatment with glucocorticoids to prevent respiratory distress syndrome.", "content": "Changes in amniotic fluid phospholipids on treatment with glucocorticoids to prevent respiratory distress syndrome.

In the controls 49 years of age and under dysrhythmia was found in 11%, while in persons 50 years of age and over the abnormal rate was 29%. In patients with acoustic tumors, who had undergone surgery in which the translabyrinthine and middle fossa approach had been utilized, dysrhthmia was present post-operatively in only a few cases. In patients 49 years of age and under, operated on through the suboccipital approach, dysrhythmia was found post-operatively, or was at least more remarkable than pre-operatively in most cases. Nystagmic rhythm was, on the other hand, regular with cerebellar degenerative process or atrophy. Pre-operative dysrhythmia in patients with cerebellar and cerebral tumors was in some cases post-operatively converted to regular rhythmic nystagmus in pendular stimulations. Therefore, in cerebellar and cerebral tumors, dysrhythmia was thought to be due to secondary effects in brainstem, as these tumors can cause intracranial hypertension and circulatory disturbances in surrounding brain tissues. In Menière's disease and sudden deafness, dysrhythmia and salvos in DPRT were found in the age groups, 49 years of age and under and 50 years and over, as frequently as in the healthy and control group. In one case with Menière's disease which showed dysrhythmia, labyrinthectomy was done. This surgical manipulation of the labyrinth did not eliminate dysrhythmia, though a temporary improvement was obtained. This result indicates that the dysrhythmia may be of central origin.

The determination of the functional parameters of the ganglion cells, such as maximal function time (Fm), disappearance time (SFm), relative efficiency (La), and regeneration expenditure (Ea) revealed that 50 mg/kg of Venoruton injected prior to repeated aortic occlusion of short duration (occlusion time A = Fm and A = 2 Fm, respectively) caused the efficiency of the anterior-horn cells to be decreased. Both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the mitochondrial structure after prolonged aortic occlusion (15-25 min) revealed that after prior injection of Venoruton irreversible structural changes in the mitochondrial membranes of the ischemic area in the spinal cord occurred after aortic occlusion of 15 min duration. In the untreated controls such changes were not observed before 20 min of occlusion. The mitochondrial structure of the non-ischemic area in the spinal cord was found to be undamaged, however, in both controls and experimental animals. Venoruton given after prolonged aortic occlusion resulted in less pronounced structural changes of the mitochondria in the ischemic area of the experimental animals than those found in the untreated controls; paralysis of the hind extremities was found to occur only after prolonged occlusion (25 min), whereas in the controls such changes were already observed after 20 min of occlusion. Since no ultrastructural changes in the ganglion cells of the non-ischemic area in the in the lumbar spinal cord were observed after application of Venoruton, it is assumed that the decreased efficiency of the motor anterior-horn cells found in the ischemic area when Venoruton had been injected before the aortic occlusion may be due to reactions of the cell that only occur when the blood supply has been completely cut off and Venoruton is present at the same time.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036693"} {"pmid": "1036694", "title": "On the adrenergic neuron blocking activity of 1-methyl-3-keto-4-phenylquinuclidinium bromide (MA540) during acute and chronic administration.", "content": "On the adrenergic neuron blocking activity of 1-methyl-3-keto-4-phenylquinuclidinium bromide (MA540) during acute and chronic administration.

Significant tolerance to the adrenergic impairment induced by MA540 and guanethidine was not apparent in membranes subjected to supramaximal sympathetic stimulation, but was evident in membranes under the influence of normal sympathetic tone in unanesthetized cats. This phenomenon appeared much earlier with guanethidine than with the quinuclidine derivative.

The effect is, however, largely independent of the cation concentration and is identical for the cations Li+, Na+ and Ba2+. This finding, as well as the sign and magnitude of the diffusion potential in the presence of a gradient of picrate are consistent with the assumption that the transport of picrate anions is facilitated by the above-mentioned macrocyclic compounds, but that cations are not directly involved. A model is suggested which, based on the generation of mobile defect structures by the incorporation of large molecules, allows one to explain facilitated transport without the assumption of stable chemical bonds between a carrier and its transported substrate. If K+ is present in the aqueous phase, the conductance is largely determined by the permeation of the cation complexes of valinomycin and nonactin. The conductance is, however, increases by adsorption of picrate anions to the membrane surface.

The corpuscles of Stannius of threespined sticklebacks contain two glandular cell types of presumed endocrine nature. To elucidate the function of both cell types the secretory activity of the cells was studied in fully adapted seawater and freshwater fishes and in specimens transferred from sea water to fresh water or adapted to media of various ionic composition. The secretory activity was established, in tissue sections and freeze-etch replicas, by estimating the volume of the nuclei, the density of the nuclear pores, and the frequency of exocytotic phenomena. The type-1 cells, ultrastructurally comparable to the predominant or only cell type described in many other teleosts, are more active in sea water than in fresh water. The activity of the type-2 cells, whose ultrastructural appearance is known only for salmonids and eels, is higher in fresh water. Transfer of seawater fishes to fresh water results in reduction of type-1 cells and activation of type-2 cells. The factors responsible for these changes were analyzed by exposure of fishes to solutions of various salts in fresh water and to artificial sea water with a reduced content of one of its components.

Fourteen topics are discussed. They are: a historical development of the concept of using karyotypic features to estimate radiosensitivity; interrelationships between cellular parameters; relationship of the karyotype to the duration of mitosis and meiosis; relationships between chronic and acute irradiation and ICV using several radiobiological end points for woody and herbaceous species; correlations between dose and cellular parameters ftween chromosome aberrations and cellular characteristics after chronic irradiation; polyploidy and plant radiosensitivity; radiation-induced petal mutations in plants and their relationship to cellular parameters; correlations between mean survival time facter irradiation and cellular parameters in amphibians and higher plants; correlations between radiobiological end points and cellular parameters after whole-body irradiation in amphibians. insects and mammals; correlations between radiosensitivity and cellular parameters in diverse single-cell organisms; correlations between radiobiological end points and cellular parameters in higher plants irradiated with neutrons and the value of cell parameters to estimate relative biological effectiveness (RBE); and energy absorption and trends in radiosensitivity among species and radiobiological end points.

In a group of 9 healthy newborns, spontaneous activity of different muscles was studied for 6 or 8 hours by means of surface electromyography on the 5th or 6th day of life. According to the local nursing routine the infants were placed in alternating left and right side positions. Averaged EMG activities were analysed with respect to behavioural states and observed postural behaviour. An improved recording technique and the logarithmic presentation of averaged EMG activities allowed the study of characteristics of tonic activity in state 1. The chin muscles showed the most specific EMG pattern in state 1. Chin muscle quiescence was observed during only 15% of that state. Lack of tonic activity was observed more in the beginning than at the end, but never in the middle of state 1. By visual analysis of 41 patterns of averaged EMG activities from the chin muscle it was found that increases of tonic activity only happen stepwise following concomitant phasic activities. Relaxation of tonic activity is either asymptotic or abrupt or by steps. The latter two are especially characteristic for the transition to state 2. Long periods of sustained tonic activity and low motility were characteristic for a long lasting state 1. The interval between the beginning of state 1 and the first increase of tonic activity varied more than the interval between the end of state 1 and the final drop of tonic activity back to the noise level. Other muscles showed less tonic activity in state 1: the neck area (sterncleidomastoid muscle 48% of state 1 time, trapezius m. 32%) was followed by the muscles of the forearm (extensor carpi m. 18%, flexor carpi m. 16%). These muscles also lead the rank order of the modulation of tonic activity. Tonic activity sustained for more than 30 sec. was not observed in state 2, except during transitions. In state 2 as in state 1 the muscles from chin, neck and upper extremities were more active than the muscles from the lower extremities. Durations of activities ranged from 28% (chin) to 13% (ant. tibialis) of state 2 time. No dominance of flexor muscles, which might account for the observed flexed posture, was found. Systematically changed side positions during the recording had no consistent effect on either motility or presence of tonic activity when corresponding muscles from the upper- and the lower-lying body side were compared during state 1. Likewise in state 2 no consistent effect on the total duration of phasic activity was observed. The results are discussed in relation to other known state dependent motor phenomena. It is suggested that sustained tonic activity results from an increased gain of the gamma-loop which may also contribute to the regularity of respiration.

Three, rather than two, groups of intermediate derivatives were observed during the degradation of human fibrinogen by plasmin in vitro or in vivo. One of these had a marked tendency to polymerize. A rather distinct difference in elution pattern was found between plasma obtained during streptokinase administration and from patients with intravascular coagulation.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036803"} {"pmid": "1036802", "title": "Microvascular haemostasis and the effect of local stimulation and inhibition of platelet function.

A comparative experimental study has been made to correlate the protamine sulfate test and a modified ethanol gelation test, based on clinical observations of the solubility of a gel formed at 20 degrees C (Godal and Abildgaard procedure) when it was transferred to a bath at 37 degrees C. Two different results were obtained: the gel remained insoluble at 37 degrees C or it became completely soluble, with intermediate degrees of partial solubility. Our studies indicate that this is due to the amount of fibrin monomers formed and the level of fibrinogen: the first are responsible for the insolubility of the gel and the second for its solubility. This furnishes us with useful information for diagnostic purposes. We found the protamine sulfate test more sensitive than the ethanol gelation test, and its sensitivity increased when fibrinogen level decreased. An insoluble gelation test is a sure indication of the presence of fibrin monomers, but a soluble gel calls for the protamine sulfate test to confirm this or the existence of high fibrinogen level.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036807"} {"pmid": "1036808", "title": "Platelet preservation.

Two periods in fibrin clot formation were noted: an induction period during which no fibrin polymerization occurred and a period of rapid increase in particle size. Direct measurement of fibrin monomer polymerization and fibrinopeptide release showed no evidence of an induction period. These observations were best explained by a kinetic model for fibrin clot formation incorporating a reversible fibrinogen-fibrin monomer complex. In this model, the complex serves as a buffer system during the earliest phase of fibrin formation. This prevents the accumulation of free polymerizable fibrin monomer until an appreciable amount of fibrinogen has reacted with thrombin, at which point the fibrin monomer level rises rapidly and polymerization proceeds.

In order to study fibrinogen metabolism, the disappearance curve of 125I-abelled homologous fibrinogen was investigated in the rabbits with experimentally induced acute or chronic intravascular coagulation by injection of Lycopodium spores or thromboplastin. The results obtained were as follows. 1. Using haemolysate, an intermediate phase with upward convexity was clearly recognized between the early rapid-decay phase and the late slow phase in each radioactivity decay curve obtained in groups of rabbits. This convexity was most marked with acute intravascular coagulation induced by injection of Lycopodium spores, and was less marked, although higher, with chronic intravascular coagulation induced by injection of thromboplastin than that in the normal control. 2. The disappearance curve with the intermediate phase could be expressed, in approximation, as a sum of 2 equations--the initial exponential decay equation and the late parabolic one. 3. From the results obtained by separate examinations of the disappearance curve of plasma, fibrin clots and serum in rabbits with acute intravascular coagulation induced by injection of Lycopodium spores, the intermediate phase appears to be influenced more by the secondary increase of labelled non-clottable part tahn recirculation of the labelled fibrinogen. 4. The half time (27.4 hours) of the radioactivity in fibrin clots at the late phase observed in the group of rabbits with acute intravascular coagulation induced by injection of Lycopodium spores was shorter than that in the normal rabbits (50.2 hours). This fact may indicate that the increase of fibrinogen in the group of rabbits with acute intravascular coagulation induced by the injection of Lycopodium spores is due to overproduction of fibrinogen. 5.

The horns are oval in cross section, the body triangular. Hyalinized areas are much more frequent in the body than in the horns.

The following results have been obtained: 1. Circadian variations in the activity of RNA polymerases are especially pronounced in the nuclei of liver tissue. These changes depend predominantly on feeding habits and they are comparatively independent on the dark/light schedule. A maximum in the activity of nuclear DNA dependent RNA polymerases can be observed shortely after the beginning of the feeding period. 2.

The data obtained can be summarized as follows: 1. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) of the rat is subject to a circadian rhythm which is largely in phase with the well-known rhythm of the pituitary-adrenal axis. This rhythm can be demonstrated in PRA as well as in plasma concentrations and urinary excretion rates of aldosterone. The rhythm of urinary excretion of electrolytes is unlikely to be due to the rhythm of aldosterone secretion. 2. The light-dark cycle is the main synchronizer for these rhythms: inverting the light-dark cycle for 5 weeks entirely inverts the rhythms of all the parameters cited. 3. A dissociation of the rhythms of PRA and PAC can be observed following sodium restriction or dexamethasone treatment. A role of ACTH IN regulating the rhythmic pattern of aldosterone secretion is suggested by the finding that PAC and PCC follow the same pattern of circadian variations under every experimental condition tested. 4. The responsiveness of the RAAS to stimulation or suppression varies with the time of day. 5.

A possible way of predicting the clinical efficacy of new psychoactive drugs. The influence of representatives of various groups of antipsychotic drugs on the visually evoked potential (EP) was investigated with the aid of a modified recording and evaluation technique for the rabbit EEG from cortical and subcortical structures. The starting point was the hypothesis that changes in the EP in animal experiments caused by representative members of these \"substance groups\" (neuroleptics with predominantly antipsychotic or predominantly sedative effect, and antidepressants with predominantly mood-brightening or predominantly sedative main components) make predictions of the clinical efficacy of \"unknown\" substances possible on the basis of clinical therapeutic principles of classification. Experiments were carried out with haloperidol and fluphenazine, chlorpromazine, amitriptyline and doxepin, and with imipramine and clomipramine, as representatives of these classes of substances. The hypothesis was checked by attempts to assign amitriptyline and chlorprothixene in varying dosage, haloperidol, benzperidol and mianserine to appropriate classes. As classification and assignment procedure we used stepwise multiple discriminant analysis (SWDA) according to our modification of the BMD 0 7 M Program. The purpose of the latter program, and its applicability to our studies, are described and discussed. It was found 1. that with EP data from animal experiments it is possible to classify various groups of psychoactive drugs on the basis of clinical therapeutic findings, using SWDA; 2. that assignment of \"unknown\" compounds can be based on this classification; 3. that hence with some caution predictions of the clinical effect of newly developed substances may be made on the basis of findings in animal experiments. The EP variables which contain most information for making up the separation formula and hence are of special importance, are investigated with respect to their possible neurophysiological evidential value, and their significance is discussed.

To assess their influence on myocardial excitability the relation between threshold voltage and pulse duration was studied in the left guinea pig atrium. Furthermore, the influence on AV conduction was investigated in the conscous dog in haemodynamically equieffective dose ranges. 2. Verapamil as well as nifedipine cause a dose-dependent prolongation of the functional refractory period in the isolated left guinea pig atrium. The slope of the dose-response curve of nifedipine is, however, significantly less steep than that of verapamil. Maximum prolongation of refractory period which can be induced by nifedipine is significantly inferior to that occurring after verapamil; under nifedipine this prolongation is, however, accompanied by a significantly greater reduction in contractility. 3. In the isolated left guinea pig atrium the voltage-duration curve is shifted to the right and the chronaxia value is significantly increased by verapamil. Even in the highest dose possible nifedipine has no effect on atrial excitability. 4. In the conscious dog verapamil considerably prolongs AV conduction time whereas a moderate yet dose-dependent shortening of PQ duration is observed with equieffective nifedipine doses regarding the decrease in blood pressure and increase in heart rate. 5.

The conditions of potassium transport were investigated in isolated rabbit hear mitochondria. In the presence of 5 to 40 mM potassium chloride there is a rapid initial phase of potassium influx of less than 2 min duration in which 65-75% of the total K+ uptake occurs. This is followed by a slow phase of K+ uptake of about 45 min during which 25 to 35% of the total potassium was taken up. While the rapid phase is due to passive diffusion, the slow phase is an active process which requires either ATP or respiratory substrates as an energy source. It can be totally abolished by 0.5 mM antimycin A. An increase of the calcium concentration in the incubation medium to more than 5 X 10(-5)M resulted in an inhibition of the energy-dependent uptake of potassium which was directly proportional to the calcium level. k-Strophanthin induced a distinct inhibition only at very high concentration (greater than 10(-4)M). The inhibition of potassium uptake by 1. 3 or 5 mM calcium chloride was gradually cancelled by increasing k-strophanthin concentrations above 10(-8)M. Maximal cancellation was found with 10(-5)M of k-strophanthin. This concentration almost completely prevented the inhibition by calcium ions. On the other hand, 10(-5)M k-strophanthin had no inhibitory effect on the energy-dependent uptake of 0.5 mumoles of calcium chloride or on the oxidative phosphorylation of 0.5 mumoles of ADP added to the incubation medium.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036950"} {"pmid": "1036951", "title": "Cardiovascular effects of an antiarrhythmic aminosteroid ORG 6001 in the anesthetized pig.", "content": "Cardiovascular effects of an antiarrhythmic aminosteroid ORG 6001 in the anesthetized pig.

A survey of sexually transmitted diseases was attempted in Swaziland. Time and the terms of reference limited its scope, but much interesting information was gathered. Neither the prevalence nor the relative frequency of the different diseases in the community could be ascertained, but there was evidence to support the local impression that the sexually transmitted diseases present an increasing problem in Swaziland. An important problem was that of case finding and two aspects of this are stressed: (1) A general lack of knowledge concerning the venereal diseases; (2) The large number of men infected by 'casual' girl friends who cannot easily be traced, and who form a reservoir of infection in the community. A survey was conducted in Swaziland between July 6 and September 28, 1973 to obtain information about sexually transmitted diseases. The survey sample was limited to the outpatient department of the government hospital at Mbabane. Patients included were those who reported at the outpatient department with an STD during the 3 month period of the survey and those of their contacts who could be pursuaded to attend and were found to be infected. Of 240 patients seen during the course of the survey, 124 were suffering from presumed gonorrhea, 67 had genital sores, and 23 reported with both. A further 26 had positive Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) reactions and were assumed to have syphilis with or without some other STD. Of the 26 patients whose VDRL test was positive, 3 had lesions usually associated with primary syphlis and 3 had condylomate lata. The rest were cases of presumed latent syphilis presenting with another infection. With 1 exception cases of urethral discharge in men appeared to be due to gonorrhea. No cases of nonspecific urethritis were seen and the explanation of this is obscure. About 29% of the women and 4% of the men were infested with T. vaginalis. It was not possible to determine the prevalence of venereal diseases, but the evidence collected supported the local impression that these conditions were increasing. The need for a vigorous program of contact tracing is clear from the small proportion of female patients attending the clinic. Only 24% of those with a sexually transmitted disease and only 20% of those with a positive VDRL test were females, whereas in a survey undertaken by staff of the local public health unit in 1967, 54% of those with a positive Wassermann reaction were female. The large number of casual partners admitted by men in the 4 weeks before infection implies that this is a major source of infection. Recommendatons made for improving the situation include: offering education in the schools; developing a universal system for tracing contact for the whole country; and making a vigorous attempt to screen all pregnant women by means of the VDRL test.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036969"} {"pmid": "1036968", "title": "Born before their time into this breathing world.", "content": "Born before their time into this breathing world.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036968"} {"pmid": "1036970", "title": "Circular dichroism studies of some oligosaccharides containing 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose and D-mannopyranose residues.", "content": "Circular dichroism studies of some oligosaccharides containing 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose and D-mannopyranose residues.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1036970"} {"pmid": "1036971", "title": "Sexually transmitted diseases in Rhodesia.

Potentiation was observed in normal and vagotomized animals which precludes involvement of the vagi in the response. The mechanism of action of this compound on the stomach does not appear to be mediated through stimulation of dopaminergic receptors as no potentiation was observed with dopamine infusions. It is argued that the bromocriptine potentiation of gastric acid secretion may be a demonstration of 5-hydroxytryptamine or alpha-adrenergic antagonism.

Bromocriptine treatment was not of value in six patients who had previously not responded or who had lost their response to levodopa. However, in four of five patients with response swings on levodopa due to rapid changes in plasma dopa levels, the addition of bromocriptine caused a more stable response. Dose response curves to bromocriptine 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mg and to levodopa 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg were studied in seven patients. Levodopa 2 g had a greater therapeutic effect and caused a greater rise in plasma growth hormone concentration than bromocriptine 100 mg. Levodopa caused emesis more commonly and hallucinations less commonly than bromocriptine. Bromocriptine appears to be a less potent stimulant than dopamine, and has both pre- and post-synaptic effects. Metoclopramide 60 mg oral was given 30 minutes before bromocriptine or levodopa to establish whether this caused dopamine-receptor blockade. Metoclopramide acted as a competitive antagonist to the anti-Parkinsonism and growth hormone effect of both drugs and in individual cases prevented emesis and hallucinations. The fall in blood pressure due to bromocriptine or levodopa was not antagonised by metoclopramide.

Quantitative analysis of this surfactant is necessary for the intrauterine diagnosis of lung maturity of the fetus. The presence of surfactant in amniotic fluid has been demonstrated by the shaking method [1]. But it is also well known that amniotic fluid has a thromboplastic effect [3,6]. In order to compare the correlation between the shaking method and the thromboplastic effect of the amniotic fluid, recalcification time and partial thromboplastin time were measured with and without amniotic fluid using an aggregation-meter. In each of 15 cases, a shortening of these times was recorded after the addition of amniotic fluid after the 30th week of pregnancy.

Measurement of surface properties and Lecithin/Sphingomyelin ratio in human amniotic fluid. 118 samples of amniotic fluid were taken from 102 patients in the 25th to the 43th week of pregnancy by amniotomy or by transabdominal amniocentesis. 76 samples were obtained from patients with normal pregnancies without evidence for either induction or retardation of lung maturity; they served to establish normal values. In 37 cases samples were taken within 72 hours prior to delivery, the decisive period for the prediction of a respiratory distress syndrome. In seven cases a respiratory distress syndrome occured which was diagnosed by an independent pediatrician. The following tests were performed for all samples: 1. Surface tension was measured biomechanically using the Wilhelmy balance and a surface tension area diagram (Fig. 1) was made: A platimum plate is immersed into the liquid placed in the trough; the surface tension is measured via a transducer. The surface film of th liquid to be studied is compressed cyclically from an initial area of 100% to 20% by a moveable barrier and is expanded afterward. Platinum plate and barrier are connected to an X-Y recorder. The surface tension area diagrams are interpreted on the basis of the following criteria: see article 2. The determination of the L/S ratio (simultaneous comparison with the standard method): The method of GLUCK as modified by BORER(planimetric interpretation of the the spots) was employed. Both methods produced normal values. For the biomechanical measurements a classification into three groups was made (25th-30th, 31st-35th, 36th-43rd week of pregnancy) (Tab.I);the L/S ratio showed the usual steep increase from the 36th week of pregnancy onwards. In cases with RDS (Tab.II) surface tension-area-diagrams show high values for gamma max and a slight decrease in surface tension on compression (high gamma min values); the stability index is low, the hysteresis is reduced. Fig. 3. Up to the 34th week of pregnancy the 2:1L/S ratio assumed as the threshold for a sufficient surfactant concentration does not permit a clear interpretation; in subsequent weeks all cases fail to coincide with the normal pattern of distribution (Fig.2). Both the L/S ratio and the criteria of the surface tension area diagrams show significant differences in cases with and without RDS.

Tetranactin and the methylation of nonactin-type carriers. The manner in which molecular structure of the carrier and the lipid composition of the membrane modulate the membrane selectivity among monovalent cations has been investigated for nonactin, trinactin, and tetranactin, which differ only in their degrees of methylation, and for membranes made of two lipids, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and glyceryl dioleate, in which \"equilibrium\" and \"kinetic\" aspects of permeation, respectively, are emphasized. Bilayer permeability ratios for Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Tl,and NH4 have been characterized and resolved into \"equilibrium\" and \"kinetic\" components using a model for carrier-mediated membrane transport which includes both a trapezoid energy barrier for translocation of the complex across the membrane interior and a potential-dependence of the loading and unloading of ions at the membrane-solution interfaces. The bilayer permeability properties due to tetranactin have been characterized in each of these lipids and found not only to be regular but to be systematically related to those of the less methylated homologues, trinactin and nonactin. This analysis has led to the following conclusions: (1) The change in lipid composition alters the relative contributions of \"kinetic\" vs. \"equilibrium\" components to the observed carrier-mediated selectivity. (2) Increased methylation of the carrier increases the contribution of the \"kinetic\" component to the selectivity relative to that of the \"equilibrium\" component and additionally alters the \"equilibrium component sufficiently that an inversion of Cs--Na selectivity occurs between trinactin and tetranactin. (3) For all ions and carriers examined, the \"reaction plane\" for ion-carrier complexation and the width for the \"diffusion barrier can be represented by the same two parameters, independent of the ion or carrier, so that in all cases the complexation reaction senses 10% of the applied potential and the plateau of the \"diffusion barrier\" extends across 70% of the membrane interior.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1037004"} {"pmid": "1037005", "title": "Tonsillectomy: an excision biopsy.", "content": "Tonsillectomy: an excision biopsy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1037005"} {"pmid": "1037001", "title": "Accumulation of 57Co-poly-L-lysine by tumors: an effect of the tumor electrical charge.", "content": "Accumulation of 57Co-poly-L-lysine by tumors: an effect of the tumor electrical charge.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1037001"} {"pmid": "1037016", "title": "Relationship between experimental results in mammals and man.

The author examined the effectiveness of ethylacohol, acetaldehyde, acetic acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, and hydroquinone in concentrations from 1 M to 10(-6) M, and the effectiveness of extracts from disinfected seeds in doses from 10 g to 0.001 g/l. The effect of the mentioned solutions was examined as exerted on the growth of dicaryotic mycelium and on the growth of the haploid promycelium of the fungus. The dicaryotic mycelium of Ustilago nuda (Jens.) Rostr. was cultivated on potato agar with benzoic acid. The presence of the acid prevents mitosis, and the chlamydospores germinate on the nutritive medium with two fibres having binuclear cells. The haploid promycelium was cultivated on potato agar; chlamydospores germinated with one four-cell fibre, and individual cells are mononuclear and haploid. Only later, a dicarytic mycelium is created in a complex process. In all the substances used, the concentration of 1 M was found to stop further growth of mycelium. The concentration of 10(-1) M of acetic acid and hydroquinone also stopped growth, the same concentration of acetaldehyde, lactic acid, succinic acid, ethylacohol stimulated mycelium growth in comparison with the control. The concentration of 10(-6) M stimulated mycelium growth in a majority of cases.

Evidence of thrombin elaboration was obtained indirectly by measurement of fibrin monomer (FM) and by the detection and isolation of a thrombin-induced anticlotting activity. Venous segments were isolated at intervals and examined for thrombus formation following 40 minutes of stasis. Endotoxin triggered thrombin elaboration was not detectable in the circulation for at least one hour and was not accompanied by any thrombosis in isolated venous segments. No thrombin elaboration was found in leukopenic rabbits given endotoxin. In the thromboplastin infused animals, the quantity of fibrin deposited in the organs was comparable to that found after endotoxin. However, thrombin was found in the blood immediately and was associated with thrombosis in the isolatet venous segments. Less thrombin-induced anticoagulant activity was found after thromboplastin than after endotoxin.

The bile flow observed with BSP plus CA was not significantly different from that with BSP plus DCA. The biliary excretion of total BSP was higher throughout with CA than with DCA because CA increased the biliary concentration of PSP while DCA did not. The bile flow attained with CA alone was significantly lower than that with BSP plus CA. The current data provide arguments for abandoning the view that choleresis per se is the crucial determinant for BSP excretion. When BSP-GSH was infused instead of BSP, the excretion rate of the dye was not altered by the additional infusion of CA whereas it was significantly reduced by DCA.

At this time only liver and kidneys contained measurable quantities of radioactivity among the organs tested. Biliary route of elimination seemed to be important, since 20% and 4% of radioactivity appeared in bile during 9 h following i.p. and p.o. administration, respectively. Enterohepatic circulation was of no consequence. Radioactivity was hardly adsorbed to or absorbed by blood cells and was almost completely bound by plasma protein(s).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1037218"} {"pmid": "1037217", "title": "Effects of ethyl apovincaminate on the central nervous system.", "content": "Effects of ethyl apovincaminate on the central nervous system.

Although these relationships are known and several appropriate models were proposed, the bilinear model presented in this paper is the first which can be described by a simple and generally valid equation: log 1/C = a log P--b log (beta - P + 1) + c While the parameters a, b and c can be calculated by linear multiple regression analysis, the non-linear term beta must be derived by a stepwise iteration process or ty Taylor series iteration.

The drug was hydrolysed much more rapidly by liver homogenate than by whole blood or serum. It is concluded that inactivation of propanidid in vivo occurs mainly by the liver, whereas blood esterases play an insignificant part in hydrolyzing the ester. Moreover, it was demonstrated that cardiac tissue is able to hydrolyze the drug as well.

Venereal disease (VD) programs in England, West Germany, Denmark, and Sweden were studied in 1975 and compared with the program in Canada. Pronounced variation was found in case reporting procedures, contact tracing, treatment services, and health education. Only Canadian physicians are required to identify VD patients by name in their statistical reports, which contributes to underreporting. There are over 200 special VD clinics in England administered by the hospital system and providing free treatment. In the other countries studied, those suspecting they have VD consult a general practitioner, a specialist in venereology and dermatology, or attend a public clinic. Physicians in England, West Germany, and Canada cannot treat a minor without parental consent. The incidence of reported cases of both syphilis and gonorrhea rose more markedly in Canada during 1969-73 than in the other 4 countries. Overall, the results of the comparison suggest that Canada could benefit from careful attention to the British system, considered to be the most effective. It is recognized that much of the effectiveness of the British system is due to the unique method of reimbursing general practitioners in that country. Nonetheless, specific features of the VD programs in England and other European countries that could be applied to Canada include: 1) statistical rather than individual reporting of cases; 2) physical location of clinics in hospitals; 3) establishment of clinics in smaller as well as large cities; 4) extension of clinic activities to encompass management of all sexually transmitted diseases; 5) more serious attention to investigation and epidemiologic control of nonspecific genital infections, which in England are about 1.4 times as common as gonorrhea in both sexes combined; 6) special training in venereology for physicians in charge of clinics; 7) training and increased use of public health nurses and social workers in contact tracing; 8) increased use of public health nurses for health education of high risk groups; 9) compulsory sex education in schools; 10) increased use of vending machines for condom sales; and 11) legislation to facilitate treatment and examination of minors without parental consent.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1037430"} {"pmid": "1037423", "title": "Effects of gamma irradiation on onion sprouting.

Breast feeding provides satisfactory growth rate and brain development up to the age of 12 months and there is great hope that a nutrition programme to encourage breast feeding could combat existing problems of protein energy malnutrition. There is evidence of greater deficiency of energy than of protein, and there is need to investigate whether growth retardation is due to inadequate energy intake or to high infection rates or to both.

This enzyme is able to depress immune reactions like lymphocyte blastogenesis and delayed hypersensitivity, and to impair gamma-globulin synthesis.

This study reports observations on the effect of L-asparginase on the 7S gamma-globulin levels and on the behaviour of the germinal centers in spleen and lymph nodes. It has been found that after administration of low or intermediate doses of L-asparginase, a decrease in the size of the follicular marginal zones occurred. This was accompanied by an enlargement of the germinal centers. Furthermore the spleen weight decreased and the concentration of 7S gamma-globulin diminished slightly. In animals given high doses of L-asparaginase, germinal centers were enlarged even more but marginal zones appeared repopulated although not to the degree of the controls.

The problems of poor health among Puerto Ricans today are compounded by their cultural traditions. Many Puerto Ricans still rely on folk medicine to cure their ills. One study by Suchman found that compared with persons of other ethnic groups in New York City, the Puerto Ricans are more suspicious of scientific medical care, tend to use general health services less, have more limited health horizons than any other ethnic group. Aside from the unsophisticated health practices stemming from a knowledge of Puerto Rican folk medicine, the cultural phenomena of spiritualism plays a significant role in retarding the health status of the Puerto Rican. Puerto Ricans who view illness as possession by evil spirits will consult a medium or curandero(a) for treatment instead a physician. The hot and cold theory of disease has a profound influence on the Puerto Ricans' health status. In the attempt to achieve equilibrium of the four body humors, Puerto Ricans will often disregard a physician's advice which does not conform to this theory.

An unemulsified oil test meal containing aqueous- and oil-phase markers (PEG and 3-H labelled triether) was fed to control and bile fustula rats. PEG moved ahead of the lipid phase in all groups, and was of limited value as a marker for the test meal. Triether was an excellent marker for studies of gastric emptying. An unexpectedly high correlation was seen between the triether and the test meal and its digestion products in the intestine. The results suggest that triether is a valid marker for following the movement of lipid through the bowel under the conditions of this study. Triether/fat ratios indicated that fat absorption occurred largely from the upper small bowel in control animals and from the lower small bowel in the absence of bile. Bile diversion resulted in more rapid gastric emptying initially, but very slow gastric emptying of the last part of the oil test meal. Intestinal transit of test meal or either marker was not significantly affected by bile diversion.

The results of a pilot test indicated that improvement in respondents' total knowledge score (TOTSC) was correlated with completion of the course. No correlation existed between liberalization of attitudes toward sexuality and completion of the course. Demographic variables of age, sex, perception of self as \"somewhat\" or \"slightly religious\" and \"somewhat liberal politically\", and residence in small cities in the New England/Middle Atlantic area were significantly correlated with improvement of TOTSC. Demographic variables did not appear to affect liberalization of attitudes.

The study was designed to examine factors--a two-semester course in human development and aging, visits with a physically \"well\" older person living in the community, attitudes toward the aged, and several biographic factors--associated with increased interest in working with elderly patients. Findings included: Students showed minimal interest in working in nursing homes; they preferred to work with child and adult patients. The more stereotyped their thinking about the aged, the greater their interest in working with ederly patients. Students who previously worked in a nursing home or convalescent hospital showed greater willingness to work with elderly patients.

Six topics dealt with the patients' physical problems; six with psychological aspects of the problems. In the tests for nurses' willingness both to listen and to pass along information to the next nurse, the 48 tape-recorded segments of patient information were played for 16 volunteer nurses in a laboratory set up for the purpose. Although the nurses had an option of listening or preparing a medication, they were expected to listen to at least 16 of the 48 segments. Following this, they were asked to tape record a report on the patient for the nurse who would follow them. The nurses, on average, listened to 29 of the 48 segments. The diabetic patient was listened to least; the cancer and the colitis patients each received a similar amounts of attention.

The Edwards Personal Preference Schedule (EPPS) was used to measure personality characteristics. The null hypothesis was rejected for four of the 15 variables measured by the EPPS. Significantly greater needs were achievement, deference, and heterosexuality for the persisters and abasement for the dropouts. Differences in needs may have resulted from two specific focuses of the ADN program: on the problem-solving process based on assessment of individual patient's needs and on team nursing which includes both the aspects of assuming responsibility for authority and accepting leadership. Through their greater need for abasement, the dropouts expressed a need for feelings of inferiority, guilt, blame, and inadequacy. Based on the academic prerequisites for admission to the ADN program, the dropouts should have succeeded.

Third, we need multi-criteria for measuring success and effectiveness-criteria that will take into account both competence and commitment and will measure competence in a variety of ways. Fourth, we need more theory for what we are measuring and why we are measuring it. We need predictions from different personality and developmental theories. We need to contrast and combine these theoretical approaches, and we need more complex variables than we currently have. We need constructs and types rather than simple empiricism and single traits. Finally, we should not overlook the fact that the majority of nurse practitioners are women, and thus we are doing research on an interesting group at a significant time in women's history.

In summary, it should be stated that there is a basic philosophic difference concerning the importance and the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias in postoperative patients when compared to patients with myocardial infarctions. In the latter group the etiology for the arrhythmia is assumed, and very frequently correctly. In the former group of patients, the postoperative group, the etiology of the arrhythmia is often covert and difficult to come by. In patients with myocardial infarction treatment frequently is stereotyped and the effect of therapy often predictable. In the postoperative patient with a cardiac arrhythmia, be it tachycardia or an irregular pulse, the treatment may be as varied as the cause. Thus the thrust of our endeavor in the postoperative patient should be directed primarily toward determining the cause of the arrhythmia and thereafter administering correct therapy based on a reasonable diagnosis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1038628"} {"pmid": "1038630", "title": "Postoperative pulmonary complications.", "content": "Postoperative pulmonary complications.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1038630"} {"pmid": "1038614", "title": "Effect of timed hygienic measures on oral mucosa in a group of elderly subjects.", "content": "Effect of timed hygienic measures on oral mucosa in a group of elderly subjects.

However, in clinical charting, the problem-oriented group identified significantly more patient problems and had significantly higher quality-of-organization scores.

A theoretical proposition that changes in the organization and structure of auditory information result in changes in temporal experience was tested in this study. Changes were measured in the judgment of duration of a 40-second interval that occurred in three different patterns of auditory information among individuals confined to bed. The sample consisted of 90 men and 90 women aged 18 to 35 years who had no known physical or mental health problems. Subjects rested in bed in a comfortable room for two and one-half hours. Each subject received one of three forms of auditory information-called decoded, coded, and ambient auditory information. At four periods during the 150 minutes of auditory information (25 minutes, 75 minutes, 120 minutes, 150 minutes) the subject was directed by a lighted sign to produce a 40-second interval by depressing a button. The button was connected to a microtimer which timed the interval to the nearest tenth second. None of the three hypotheses-1) that time would seem to pass more slowly in the coded than in the decoded condition: 2) that time would pass more slowly in the decoded than ambient condition: and 3) that as the period of bedrest progressed differences in duration experience would occur among the three groups--was supported by the data. The produced interval for ambient auditory information was expected to be the longest of the three groups, but the opposite effect occurred; it was the shortest. The significant overestimation that occurred in the ambient condition relative to the decoded condition appeared to be related to the methodological imposition of vigilance, lack of structuring information, and the condition of waiting. The coded auditory input did not effect changes in duration relative to the decoded and ambient auditory information as subjects were able to reorder the coded information.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1038622"} {"pmid": "1038633", "title": "Four-point plan for mental handicap services.", "content": "Four-point plan for mental handicap services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1038633"} {"pmid": "1038634", "title": "Euthanasia.", "content": "Euthanasia.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1038634"} {"pmid": "1038618", "title": "Increasing the quality of patient care through performance counseling and written goal setting.", "content": "Increasing the quality of patient care through performance counseling and written goal setting.

Staff nurses chose their own goals. One goal was to improve patient care and the other was to improve staff nurse professional competence. After six months, experimental group scores were higher on five patient care scales, one significantly. After 12 months, scores shifted in favor of the control group, one significantly. Experimental group scores were higher on patient interview questions after six months and made additional gains after 12 months. Experimental nurses generally were more satisfied with their nursing careers and described working relationships more positively. Some progress the experimental nurses made after six months was lost after 12 months.

The cutaneous aerobic bacterial flora was monitored during the course of experimental dermatiphyte (ringworm) infections on the forearms of 9 volunteers. Micrococcaceae were identified by the new Baird-Parker classification with the aid of a replica-plating technique. There were significant differences in total populations but not in kinds of flora compared with control (opposite) forearms. The proportion of penicillin-resistant microorganisms, however increased the infection, to a degree which varied as to individual. All coccal groups were affected; resistant flora diminished when the fungus was no longer DETECTED. Staphylococci were more frequently isolated than micrococci on the infected areas, but Staphylococcus aureus was not found. Trends toward hierarchies in persistance and quantities IV were observed among the flora, with Staphylococcus subgroups II and dominating the infected sites. On both areas almost all diphtheroids were nonfluorescent, lipophilic, and lipolytic.

Critical hemodynamic changes that are observed with the reduction of blood pressure in shock and the use of vasopressor agents as a temporary measure for maintaining arterial pressure so that irreparable tissue damage can be prevented are considered in this review of the use and efficacy of vasopressor agents in shock. Indications for adrenergic stimulators include severe hypotensive episodes, in which case an alpha-beta stimulator such as metaraminol or norepinephrine is the therapy of choice; hemorrhagic shock, in which administration of an alpha-beta stimulator will help maintain essential cerebral and cardiac function by shunting blood to these areas while volume is being replaced; cardiogenic shock, in which vasodilators may reduce cardiac work by reducing diastolic blood pressure but coronary blood flow will also be reduced, counteracting the effects of decreasing the cardiac load; and endotoxic shock, in which the circulating blood volume decreases and venous return and cardiac output also decrease. Prolonged use of these agents in any of these shock situations is ultimately deleterious. Vasopressor drugs are best used to treat acute hypotension that occurs in myocardial infarction; in such cses, vasopressors are used to keep the blood pressure within normal range, but only as adjunctive therapy. In hemorrhagic shock, though norepinephrine administration may increase blood pressure, the only lasting treatment is to replace the blood as rapidly as possible.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039254"} {"pmid": "1039255", "title": "Teaching mental retardation nursing.", "content": "Teaching mental retardation nursing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039255"} {"pmid": "1039256", "title": "Meeting the emotional needs of hemodialysis patients and their spouses.", "content": "Meeting the emotional needs of hemodialysis patients and their spouses.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039256"} {"pmid": "1039257", "title": "Group sessions for the wives of home-hemodialysis patients.", "content": "Group sessions for the wives of home-hemodialysis patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039257"} {"pmid": "1039259", "title": "A paraplegic reflects.", "content": "A paraplegic reflects.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039259"} {"pmid": "1039258", "title": "Commitment to change in Colorado.", "content": "Commitment to change in Colorado.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039258"} {"pmid": "1039261", "title": "What do you give and get in social secutiry?", "content": "What do you give and get in social secutiry?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039261"} {"pmid": "1039260", "title": "Helping people stretch their grocery dollars.", "content": "Helping people stretch their grocery dollars.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039260"} {"pmid": "1039263", "title": "Editorial: Documentary.", "content": "Editorial: Documentary.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039263"} {"pmid": "1039262", "title": "Programmed instruction.

The statistical data issued by the Home Office and Department of Health and Social Security are quite detailed and generally valid measures of hard core addiction in Great Britain (Judson, 1973). Since 1968, the main basis of these high quality British statistics is the routine reports filed by Drug Treatment Centres. The well-trained, experienced staff of these clinics make knowledgeable dicsions about a cleint's addiction, efficiently regulate dosage, and otherwise exert some degree of control over addicts (Judson, 1973; Johnson, 1974). The co-operation of police, courts, prison physicians, and general practitioners is also valuable in collecting data on drug addiction and convictions. Information presented in the tables above indicates that a rising problem of herion addiction between 1962 and 1967 were arrested by the introduction of the treatment clinics in 1968. Further, legally maintained heroin addiction has been reduced by almost one-third since 1968, since many herion addicts have been transferred to injectable methadone. The decline in herion prescribing and the relatively steady number of narcotics addicts has apparently occurred in the face of a continuing, and perhaps increasing, demand for heroin and other opiates. With few exceptions of a minor nature analysis of various tables suggests that the official statistics are internally consistent. There are apparently few \"hidden\" addicts, since few unknown addicts die of overdoses or are arrested by police (Lewis, 1973), although Blumberg (1974) indicates that some unknown users may exist. In addition, may opitate usersnot officially notified are known by clinic doctors as friends of addicts receiving prescriptions (Judson, 1973; Home Office, 1974). In brief, offical British drug statistics seem to be generally valid and demonstrate that heroin and perhaps methadone addiction has been well contained by the treatment clinics.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039283"} {"pmid": "1039293", "title": "Breakthrough has become of age.", "content": "Breakthrough has become of age.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039293"} {"pmid": "1039294", "title": "Eighty and alone: who will care?", "content": "Eighty and alone: who will care?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039294"} {"pmid": "1039282", "title": "\"Drug abuse and its prevention\" as seen by the internation legal profession.", "content": "\"Drug abuse and its prevention\" as seen by the internation legal profession.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039282"} {"pmid": "1039295", "title": "Students and change.", "content": "Students and change.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039295"} {"pmid": "1039285", "title": "Field and laboratory test for raw and prepared opium.", "content": "Field and laboratory test for raw and prepared opium.

The possession of any of eight different plasmids by Staphylococcus aureus strain 649--either singly or simultaneously (in no. 649MR)--caused changes in growth kinetics. Six of the plasmids caused an increase in exponential doubling time (by 8-25%), and most also altered the duration of the lag period. Strain 649MR was significantly less virulent for 10-day chick embryos than the corresponding plasmid-negative culture (no. 649N). The avirulence persisted even after loss of the plasmids from no. 649MR. The presence of a single plasmid specifying tetracycline resistance produced a moderate reduction in virulence, but chromosomal tetracycline resistance had an insignificant effect on it. The decrease in virulence could not be attributed to reduced formation of soluble products. It probably resulted from alterations in the cell surface, but membrane-polypeptide profiles of virulent and avirulent cells lacking plasmids were similar. Survival of strains 649MR and 649N on glass was identical. Therefore, reduction in the incidence of staphylococcal sepsis may be due in part to loss of virulence that has resulted from plasmid carriage.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039330"} {"pmid": "1039329", "title": "Activity of amoxycillin against enterococci and synergism with aminoglycoside antibiotics.", "content": "Activity of amoxycillin against enterococci and synergism with aminoglycoside antibiotics.

The penicillins showed pronounced bactericidal activity against the enterococci but failed to sterilise cultures of these organisms. Combinations of penicillins and aminoglycosides invariably produced synergistic bactericidal effects which resulted in sterilisation of cultures of these organisms.

During the first few decades of the 20th century infants in Europe were breastfed for 6 months or more; only during the 30s and 40s did breast feeding begin to decrease especially in those countries, as in Northern Europe, where child mortality had experienced a fast decline. Information on the frequency and duration of breastfeeding in Europe is scant; one must also differentiate between whole breastfeeding and breast feeding supplemented by bottle feeding. A study conducted in England in 1947--48 on 1142 infants showed that 58.85%, 33.3% and 22.2% were wholly breastfed at 1, 3, and 6 months, and that breast feeding was more common in professional families than in families of manual workers. A similar study conducted in 1968 indicated that only 33% of mothers continued to breastfeed beyond the first 4 weeks. In Poland breast feeding remained extremely popular until about 1930 when at least 90% of mothers breastfed for at least 1 month, after that frequency of breast feeding decreased to 79% in 1950, to 78% in 1960, and to 52% in 1964; figures for breast feeding at 3 and at 6 months are much lower. The situation in Hungary appears to be much the same. Breastfeeding practices started to decline in Sweden around 1940, and accelerated during the 1960s. Factors which provoked a change in breastfeeding practices include changes in the social structure of the family, for example from the extended family to the nuclear family, changes in delivery conditions, improved knowledge about formula feeding, the impact of breast feeding techniques even by health personnel, changed attitudes about physical attributes such as breasts, and the high percentage of working mothers. Physicians should encourage mothers to wholly breastfeed for 2-3 months, and then switch to mixed breast and formula feeding. In underdeveloped countries mothers in conditions of extreme poverty and lack of hygiene should wholly breastfeed for at least 6 months. Should breast feeding be abandoned at all we would see a decrease in the chance of survival of young children, despite improvement in living conditions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039333"} {"pmid": "1039331", "title": "Variation in the properties of a strain of Staphylococcus aureus isolated over three months from a single hospital.", "content": "Variation in the properties of a strain of Staphylococcus aureus isolated over three months from a single hospital.

All These organisms were thus considered to be \"the same\"; the variation in other properties was probably due to rapid evolutionary change in vivo. the variation in senxitivity to methicillin and neomycin, and the absence of penicillinase production in some isolates, probably indicated loss of the relevant genes. Several isolates had probably acquired resistance to lincomycin by a one-step mutatuon in vivo.

Widely distributed safe water supplies and adequate sewage and solid waste disposal are identified as the most urgent needs within the environmental health services.

Improved staffing and training, better physical facilities, and upgraded surveillance techniques are among the needed improvements.

In Part I it is proposed that nursing research should be considered in terms of payoff not merely promise for nursing, that 8-4 research is a suitable paradigm for all nursing research, and that nursing research is a suitable preoccupation for any and all nursing personnel. In Part II eight points of encounter--as between 8-4 research and pseudotechnical research-pertinent to designing nursing research are given.

Following the class, the test was given to all four groups. Using the Solomon Four-Group design to measure effects of pretesting and the class content, significant differences were found between the groups on questions seeking differences, to confirm the first hypothesis that an increase in knowledge about acupuncture and Chinese medicine will accompany an increase in its acceptance as a healing tool and the desire to learn more about it.

In multicellular organisms morphogenesis results from organized cell proliferation and spatial cell differentiation. A genetic approach to development has the two-fold task of explaining how the genetic information is selected and how it expresses itself in developmental operations. The genetic and developmental analysis of morphogenetic mutants in Drosophila has thrown some light on both problems. Experiments on genetic mosaics confirm the idea that the genetic information is expressed within the cell itself. The behaviour of those morphogenetic mutants in mosaics suggests the existence of at least two classes of morphogenetic genes. Genes of a first group (cyto-differentiation genes) would include those controlling cell behaviour relevant to morphogenesis and common to most developing systems: mitotic rate, mitotic orientation, cell recognition and cuticular differentiation. Those of a second group (selector genes) seem to control developmental pathways and share several operational characteristics. A functional scheme is advanced showing how selector genes may become activated and control development. We postulate that inductor molecules interfere with the products of activator genes which are selector specific. In this way signals extrinsic to the genome become translated into genetic ones. The activation, or repression, of selector genes occurs once in development and remains clonally irreversible. This, possibly, is the genetic basis of a stable state of determination. However, the products of these activated selector genes are required throughout subsequent development in order to maintain a certain pathway. They may function by activating in turn the corresponding cytodifferentiation genes leading to changes in developmental operations.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039909"} {"pmid": "1039910", "title": "Attmepts to analyse the biochemical basis of regional differences in animal eggs.", "content": "Attmepts to analyse the biochemical basis of regional differences in animal eggs.

Specification of developmental pathways by specific determining substances prelocalized in the egg cytoplasm is duscussed using the so-called germ cell determinants as an example. Some theoretical considerations speak against the assumption that in insects the various elements of the basic body plan are specified by a prelocalized mosaic of specific determinants. Experimental evidence also points towards a largely epigenetic mode of pattern specification. The process of axial pattern specification can be altered drastically by experiment: in some insects, tail ends may be formed in place of head parts and identical wequences of bocy segments may be specified two or even three times along the longitudinal egg axis. The experimental results indicate that polarity and regional character of pattern elements formed are specified by one and the same influence, and that this influence can be shifted to or simulated in various other egg regions by transposition or elimination of egg components, or by UV irradiation. Evidence obtained from several types of experiment in the chironomid midge Smittia points towards a key role for local metabolsim or energy charge in determination of cell polarity and in pattern specification. A model for embryonic pattern specification involving differential reaction of cells to a system of longitudinal gradients, which was proposed in 1960, can in principle formally account for all results described. Some striking coincidences of model and experimental results with Wolpert's concept of positional information are noted.

The retina of the compound eye contains a patterned spatial array of receptor cell groups whose symmetry and component numerical constancy allow the unique identification of individual cells. The axon connection patterns arising from the retina similarly are uniquely identifiable and relate by simple consistnet transpositons to the retinal position of their somata. The coincidence of these features and the epidermal origin or retinula cells provides a model system for the developmental analysis of neural patterns. It is known that the retina develops by a wave of determinative mitoses and subsequent cellular differentiation, transmitted inductively from a posteriorly situated differentiation centre, which passes over the prospective eye field independently of the growing axon connections with the optic lobe. The ganglion cells of the optic lobe are similarly produced in a temporal sequence but their subsequent differentiation depends on centripetal innervation and proceeds as a wave initiated in the retina. Axon growth between the retina and optic neuropiles occurs in this temporal sequence, appears largely non-exploratory and dependent on mechanical guidance. By contrast, individual axon connections within the neuropile form probabilistically by extensive filopod explorations between cones. Both growth between and growth within the neuropile depend upon features in the pattern of retinal development which are discussed.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039912"} {"pmid": "1039914", "title": "The structure and properties of a compartment border: the intersegmental boundary in Oncopeltus.", "content": "The structure and properties of a compartment border: the intersegmental boundary in Oncopeltus.

Cells within any compartment have rigid prospective fates such that, while their progeny may give rise to variable regions within a compartment, they can never generate cells in any other compartment. Analysis of the position and shapes on clones allows definition of the compartment boundaries. I report studies on a compartment boundary (likewise demonstrated by clonal analysis) in the hemipteran insects Oncopeltus and Rhodnius. The advantage of this border is that it can easily be identified in the light and electron microscopes. There is an abrupt change of cell shape at the border, which has been analysed by means of serial electron microscope sections. The types of cell junctions at the border and elsewhere are compared and shown to have no qualitative differences. The border is an effective barrier to the growth of peripheral sensory axons, although not apparently to dendrites. The intersegmental boundary allows passage of information relating to cuticle deposition, wounding response, tracheolar movement and intercellular coupling. Making wounds across the border leads to greater effects on polarity of epidermal cells than making similar wounds elsewhere on the tergites.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039914"} {"pmid": "1039913", "title": "Topography and topology in functional recovery of regenreated sensory and motor systems.", "content": "Topography and topology in functional recovery of regenreated sensory and motor systems. Motor and sensory nerves can re-establish coordinated movement and accurate sensation when they regrow into denervated tissues of some lower vertebrates. Motor nerves achieve their end by a competitive process in which each motoneuron innervates many muscle fibres but, in the presence of many applicants, only those synapses from motoneurons most appropriate to a muscle cell, with respect to the original pattern of development, are retained in a functional state. The discharge pattern of a motoneuron, determined by its connections with the network of central interneurons, is not sensitive to the location of the muscles in which the axon terminates, but the efficacy of transmission from the terminals is. Sensory nerves re-establish their functional specificity as to receptor type by an inductive process occurring at the terminals along with the cessation of growth. However, in the case of cutaneous nerves they can terminate anywhere over the skin surface. The return of correctly localized reflex behaviour therefore demands a restructuring of the central nervous system in response to local position-specific signals, presumably of developmental origin, that are supplied to the sensory nerves by the skin. The re-arrangement of the central nervous connections made by the central processes of the sensory neurons probably uses the same competitive mechanism of enabling and disabling formed synaptic connections as is used in sorting out the correct site of functional termination of the peripheral processes of motoneurons.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039913"} {"pmid": "1039915", "title": "A molecular approach to retinotectal specificity.", "content": "A molecular approach to retinotectal specificity. An assay is described to examine the hypothesis that retinal neurons adhere preferentially to that part of the optic tectum near theri normal synaptic termini. The method measures the adherence of isotopically labelled cell bodies from either the dorsal or ventral half of the neural retina of chick embryos to dorsal and ventral tectum halves. When a labelled cell suspension is prepared from a dorsal half-retina, more cells adhere to the ventral half of the tectum. When the cells are from the ventral part of the retina, more bind to the dorsal half of the tectum. This preferential adhesion mimics the retinotectal projection found in vivo and supports an interpretation of neuronal specificity dependent on cell surface adhesive properties. Molecular mokels are presented that utilize glycosyltransferases and their substrates as the basis for adhesive recognition. Two of these models suggest that quantitative changes in the distribution of transferases and their substrates determine retinotectal specificity.

Experiments on skin development in amniotes have shown conclusively that the pattern of cutaneous appendages is determined by the dermis. The following concept of feather pattern formation is proposed. The diameter of feather rudiments and the dermal cell density inside the dermal feather condensations are genetically fixed, region-specific parameters. The first feather rudiment is established along the middorsal line (in the lumbar region) as soon as a sufficient width of dense dermis is available. This occurs at about 6 1/2 days in the chick embryo. The next rudiments are formed in front of and behind the first one, within the longitudinal band of dense dermis. They are laid down as close as possible to the first one, given rudiment diameter and dermal condensation cell density. In other words, as they form, the middorsal rudiments are tangent circles.. Later they become separated from one another due to longitudinal growth. As progressively more dense dermis becomes available to the sides of the middorsal row of rudiments, new rudiments are being laid down lateral to the middorsal row, in successive longitudinal rows, until, by 9 or 10 days, all the available dense dermis has been used up. Again, the rudiments in the lateral rows, given their diameter and dermal condensation cell density, develop as close as possible to those of the preceding row, i.e. tangentially to two neighbouring rudiments of the preceding row, thus generating a hexagonal pattern.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039917"} {"pmid": "1039916", "title": "Closing remarks: the genetic outlook.", "content": "Closing remarks: the genetic outlook.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039916"} {"pmid": "1039918", "title": "Regeneration and duplication in imaginal discs.", "content": "Regeneration and duplication in imaginal discs. When two complementary fragments of a Drosophila imaginal disc are cultured in adult abdomens before transfer to host larvae for metamorphosis, the usual result is that one of the two fragments regenerates the missing parts while the other fragment duplicates the anlagen already present. To account for this it is proposed that in the disc there is a gradient of developmental capacity, by which new positional information can be generated from a cut surface only in the downward direction in the gradient, irrespective of the physical direction faced by the cut surface. The same kind of behaviour is shown by other epimorphic systems, such as the regenerating appendages of amphibians and of hemmimetabolous insects, and the regenerating body segments of annelids. The regeneration-duplication rule has been shown to apply for thirteen different cuts in the wing disc, some across the proximodistal and others across the anteroposterior axis. In both axes there is a reversal in the direction of regenerative ability at the approximate centre of the disc. As an alternative to the hypothesis of orthogonal double gradients, it is proposed that the wing disc has multiple gradients of developmental capacity which radiate from the centre of the disc.

The anteroposterior coordinate seems to be specified by a positional signal from an orgainzing region. Only cells in the progress zone respond to this signal. The change of character in the progress zone may be linked to cell division. It seems that each skeletal rudiment may initially be the same length, corresponding to the amount of tissue that leaves the progress zone during one cell cycle. The lengths on the skeletal elements are already specified shortly after exit from the progress zone, and are capable of very little regulation. The positional value may determine the pregramme of later growth.

Although the atherosclerotic process does not penetrate the coronary circulation at subendocardial levesl, the hemodynamic effects of coronary arterial narrowing occur at the endocardial and myocardial cellular levels. Theee resultant deprivation of blood supply to these tissue areas eventually leads to myocardial infarction. In certain clinical situations, a sudden increase in symptoms signifies and impending acute ischemic process. Three parameters have clinically been used to evaluate the changes that lead progressively to myocardial infarction: symptoms, electrocardiogram, and serum enzyme levels. The typical preinfarction patient experiences episodes of acute angina pectoris, sometimes intense and prolonged, and often unresponsive to nitroglycerin. Physical examination is usually not remarkable, serum enzyme levels are normal if tissue damage has not occurred, and the electrocardiogram is variable with pain. Th pathologic process in the preinfarction patient is frequently confined to the proximal arterial segment of one or more of the coronary arteries, usually in the form of a high-grade (in excess of 95 per cent) atherosclerotic lesion. This pathologic condition presents a satisfactory distal arterial segment suitable for bypass, and these patients are ideal candidates for urgent myocardial revascularization.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039985"} {"pmid": "1039986", "title": "Surgical correction of coronary arterial disease associated with lesions of the aorta ad its major branches.", "content": "Surgical correction of coronary arterial disease associated with lesions of the aorta ad its major branches. When a candidate for aortocoronary bypass has an associated lesion of the aorta orone of its major branches, a single operation may be indicated for correction of both problems. Three typical cases illustrate the concept of the combined approach to surgical management of coronary arterial lesions and associated carotid arterial disease, abdominal aortic aneurysm, and superficial-femoral arterial disease. An aortocoronary bypass candidate with carotid stenosis may be in imminent danger of both myocardial infarction and stroke. The selection of the proper sequence of operations under these circumstances is extremely important because any form of hypotension might produce a stroke. Cardiopulmonary bypass usually results in at least a transient reduction of the systemic pressure which would further compromise the blood flow across the tight stenosis of the carotid artery. Therefore, we recommended repair of the carotid lesion before aortocoronary bypass is attempted in order to avoid the possibility of postoperative stroke. The combined presence of coronary arterial disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm is indication for operation, but resection of the aneurysm involves cross-clamping of the aorta, and subsequent changes in arterial pressure might impair the coronary circulation and lead to myocardial infarction. On the other hand, the systemic heparinization required for the establishment of cardiopulmonary bypass and arterial pressure changes could affect the integrity of aneurysm. Unless the abdominal aneurysm is expanding, however, we elect to perform coronay revascularization first, with resection and graft replacement of the aneurysm immediately after heparin reversal. Occlusive disease of the superficial femoral artery can be corrected immediately following aortocoronary bypass. Since the femoral and upper leg incisions have been performed, in certain cases it is convenient to complete the femoral popliteal bypass while the chest is being closed, thus saving a separate operation to correct the femoral occlusive disease.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039986"} {"pmid": "1039998", "title": "A comprehensive program of health care utilizing the team approach to the education of the patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.", "content": "A comprehensive program of health care utilizing the team approach to the education of the patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039998"} {"pmid": "1039981", "title": "As the patient views the intensive-care unit and the coronary-care unit.", "content": "As the patient views the intensive-care unit and the coronary-care unit.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1039981"} {"pmid": "1039984", "title": "Cardiac pacemakers.

A patient's potential capacity to perform his social roles depends upon his \"salvageability,\" i;e., the likelihood that he will be able to resume his roles and the degree of irreversible physical or mental damage which indicates his capacity for resuming them. The priorities in terms of treatment are the following: (1) salvageable patients with physical damage; (2) salvageable patients with mental damage and unsalvageable patients with physical damage; (3) unsalvageable patients with mental damage. Within these catagories variables such as patient attitude, family attitude, age, and social class, which define the social environment of the patient, also influence the physician's decision to treat him. Studies of hospital records of cases in two of the specialties were consistent with they survey findings. The findings suggest that there is a disparity between the traditional ethic concerning the treatment of such patients and the actual behavior of many physicians.

This paper examines why Congress's first major program for comprehensive health care to needy children took five years to begin even partial operation. An examination of the 1967 program's legislative history reveals that Congress paid little attention to EPSDT's implications: it was left ambiguous whether health (Title V) or welfare (Title XIX) would administer; costs were never clearly stated; eligibility and scope of services to be provided were left vague. Despite pressure from welfare rights interest groups, these ambiguities delayed the preparation of regulation and guidelines which never did succeed in resolving the question of overlapping jurisdiction and costs. In addition, many states' resistance to paying for the program further held up implementation. The paper concluded that: (1) Congress's and HEW's unwillingness to face up to the real costs of health programs threatens long-term public and state support for such programs; (2) division of responsibility between health and welfare lessens the impact of a program; (3) grant-in-aid programs give states the power to distort the intent of federal health policies; and (4) where states fail to implement such policies, initiatives may pass to consumer advocacy groups.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040133"} {"pmid": "1040135", "title": "Teamwork in health care in the U.S.: a sociological perspective.", "content": "Teamwork in health care in the U.S.: a sociological perspective.

While some see in it a panacea that will help solve many stubborn organizational problems, others condemn it on a variety of grounds. Impetus to the development of team approaches to the delivery of health care and concern over their performance have been tied to a number of trends: a marked increase in specialization and division of labor as a result of expansion in health-related knowledge and technology, a corresponding emphasis upon coordination, a broadening concept of health and an increase in the types of activities included under its rubric, and a manpower shortage especially in the highly trained professions.

As a result, parents are looking at SNPs differently, trusting our judgment, and, I think, following through on the advice we offer to a greater extent than previously.\" Thus the SNP could well be the vital bridge between this country's traditional system of health care delivery and those children who are deprived of the care they need through reluctance, ignorance, parental apathy, or lack of available health care facilities.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040157"} {"pmid": "1040158", "title": "Editorial: They still make house calls.", "content": "Editorial: They still make house calls.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040158"} {"pmid": "1040159", "title": "Community health nursing: a typology of practice.", "content": "Community health nursing: a typology of practice.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040159"} {"pmid": "1040160", "title": "Community assessment: an epidemiological approach.", "content": "Community assessment: an epidemiological approach.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040160"} {"pmid": "1040163", "title": "Automobile transportation in community health services.", "content": "Automobile transportation in community health services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040163"} {"pmid": "1040161", "title": "Expanding the public health nurse's role in child care.", "content": "Expanding the public health nurse's role in child care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040161"} {"pmid": "1040162", "title": "An internship in community health nursing.", "content": "An internship in community health nursing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040162"} {"pmid": "1040164", "title": "A conceptual model for preventive health behavior.", "content": "A conceptual model for preventive health behavior.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040164"} {"pmid": "1040165", "title": "Audio: the oldest medium.", "content": "Audio: the oldest medium.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040165"} {"pmid": "1040167", "title": "Changing the rules of the doctor-nurse game.", "content": "Changing the rules of the doctor-nurse game.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040167"} {"pmid": "1040166", "title": "Editorial: The two worlds of nursing.", "content": "Editorial: The two worlds of nursing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040166"} {"pmid": "1040168", "title": "A conceptual framework for curriculum development.", "content": "A conceptual framework for curriculum development.

Following the intraventricular injection of a small amount of [3H]5-hydroxytryptamine ([3H]5-HT), the amount of radioactivity in telencephalic structures on the injected side was 6--7 times larger than that in corresponding areas on the opposite side. Moreover, a multiphasic disappearance of [3H]5-HT from whole brain or midbrain was found after the intraventricular injection of the labeled amine. However, after the intraventricular injection of [3H]tryptophan, the levels of [3H]5-HT in midbrain declined in a monophasic manner. A significant portion of the labeled amine derived from intraventricularly administered [3H]5-HT was resistant to the depleting effect of Ro4-1284 or to that elicited by destruction of the midbrain raphe nuclei, both of which caused an almost complete loss of endogenous 5-HT and labeled 5-HT formed from tryptophan. It thus appears that the intraventricular injection of [3H]5-HT leads to the formation of artifactual pools which are not present if the amine is synthesized in vivo. Studies with 6-hydroxydopamine suggested, however, that uptake of [3H]5-HT into adrenergic neurons did not occur to any great extent.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040550"} {"pmid": "1040551", "title": "Proteus morganii meningitis treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (co-trimoxazole).", "content": "Proteus morganii meningitis treated with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (co-trimoxazole).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040551"} {"pmid": "1040614", "title": "Health problems and nursing practice in sub-Saharan Africa.", "content": "Health problems and nursing practice in sub-Saharan Africa.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040614"} {"pmid": "1040613", "title": "Attitudes towards student nurse allocation programmes.", "content": "Attitudes towards student nurse allocation programmes.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040613"} {"pmid": "1040616", "title": "Professional absorption in Israel of nurse-immigrants from the USSR.", "content": "Professional absorption in Israel of nurse-immigrants from the USSR.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040616"} {"pmid": "1040615", "title": "A study of oral hygiene in the geriatric patient.", "content": "A study of oral hygiene in the geriatric patient.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040615"} {"pmid": "1040617", "title": "Paradoxes and the undergraduate student nurse.", "content": "Paradoxes and the undergraduate student nurse.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040617"} {"pmid": "1040618", "title": "A new look at nursing education.", "content": "A new look at nursing education.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040618"} {"pmid": "1040619", "title": "Cross-cultural psychotherapy.", "content": "Cross-cultural psychotherapy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040619"} {"pmid": "1040621", "title": "Problems and progress in Honduras.", "content": "Problems and progress in Honduras.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040621"} {"pmid": "1040627", "title": "Minocycline sensitivity related to the phage type of multiply resistant staphylococci.", "content": "Minocycline sensitivity related to the phage type of multiply resistant staphylococci.

Changes in the properties of isolates of this strain over the first 18 months have been reported previously (Lacey et al., 1973 and 1974). During the last 14 months (May 1973 to July 1974), further evolution has occurred to produce a total of 31 distinct phenotypes. Recent changes are as follows. 1. The ability of isolates to produce penicillinase in vitro was closely correlated with flucloxacillin therapy. Inactivation of flucloxacillin by penicillinase was demonstrated by diffusion testing (but not MIC determination) in vitro and may have occurred to a significant extent in vivo. 2. Lincomycin-resistant mutants slowly disappeared from the sputum after the termination of clindamycin therapy. 3. All of the recent isolates were resistant to erythromycin, possibly because of the linkage of the genes coding for erythromycin resistance with those coding for the production of delta-haemolysin; delta-haemolysin may be an important \"virulence factor\".", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040676"} {"pmid": "1040679", "title": "A new era for women.", "content": "A new era for women.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040679"} {"pmid": "1040680", "title": "Women's International Year and the nurse.", "content": "Women's International Year and the nurse.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040680"} {"pmid": "1040681", "title": "\"The role of women: some common myths\".", "content": "\"The role of women: some common myths\".", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040681"} {"pmid": "1040682", "title": "Nursing care standards in the hospital area.", "content": "Nursing care standards in the hospital area.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040682"} {"pmid": "1040684", "title": "Editorial: International Women's Year.", "content": "Editorial: International Women's Year.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040684"} {"pmid": "1040683", "title": "Second instalment of a talk (leprosy).", "content": "Second instalment of a talk (leprosy).", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040683"} {"pmid": "1040685", "title": "Ward sisters discuss the process of administration and its application to promote quality patient care.", "content": "Ward sisters discuss the process of administration and its application to promote quality patient care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040685"} {"pmid": "1040708", "title": "Hyperactivity: etiology and intervention techniques.", "content": "Hyperactivity: etiology and intervention techniques.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040708"} {"pmid": "1040709", "title": "Mental and emotional disturbances of school-age children.

This paper compares the findings from a 1973 community household interview survey conducted in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, with the findings from a similar study conducted in 1968 in the same city by a research team from the World Health Organization. Sault Ste. Marie is the site of the first Canadian consumer-sponsored prepaid group practice. Opposition by the private, solo practice sector of this community to this new modality of medical practice was considerable. Since 1969, with the introduction of universal health insurance in Ontario, the cost and benefit differences between solo and group practice medical care have been eliminated. By comparing the findings from the 1973 study with similar data from the 1968 WHO survey, observations can be made about the impact of universal health insurance on the organization and patterns of medical practice. Implications for the United States are important in view of the recent passage of the Health Maintenance Organization Act of 1973 and the expected enactment of some form of national health insurance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040757"} {"pmid": "1040759", "title": "Dental care and the health maintenance organization concept.", "content": "Dental care and the health maintenance organization concept. The principal dental diseases, caries and periodontal disease, affect almost the entire population and result in considerable pain and discomfort, with eventual tooth loss, if untreated. These disorders can either be prevented or their effects minimized through dental intervention so that intact functioning dentitions can be maintained. Despite the fact that enough practicing dentists probably exist in the United States to achieve these results, the majority of the population lose all of their natural teeth if they live out their normal life spans. The solo-practice fee-for-service system, even with third-party payment, may reduce the difficulties somewhat but cannot solve the problem. Prepaid dental group practice, either independently or as part of a general health care system, has the potential of virtually eliminating edentulism in populations for which it has responsibility. At present, it is possible to project costs and resource needs with sufficient accuracy to start viable entities. The \"health maintenance organization\" concept, therefore, applies to dental care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040759"} {"pmid": "1040758", "title": "Factors affecting the choice between prepaid group practice and alternative insurance programs.", "content": "Factors affecting the choice between prepaid group practice and alternative insurance programs. This paper examines the basis for the selection of prepaid group practice in a dual-choice situation, and the social, attitudinal, and health characteristics of populations choosing prepaid programs in contrast to other plans. When asked in an open-ended way why they made the decisions they did, those selecting prepaid group practice most frequently referred to the more comprehensive coverage provided and to the fact that at the time of choice they lacked a continuing or adequate relationship with a physician. Enrollees in the prepaid program were better educated and, contrary to previous research, more likely to be unmarried. There was little evidence that enrollees in the prepaid plan brought with them distinctive kinds of attitudes and orientations toward illness and medical care. Enrollees in the prepaid program were also comparable to those retaining an alternative health insurance option on a number of indicators of health status. However, prepaid practice enrollees tended to report more chronic conditions than persons who declined to enroll in the prepaid program. Although the overrepresentation of persons with chronic illnesses is not large, data drawn from a related study suggests that persons with several chronic conditions tend to be heavy users of medical services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040758"} {"pmid": "1040760", "title": "The pricing behavior of medical groups.", "content": "The pricing behavior of medical groups.

They also suggest that for groups in the sample, a non-physician manager and a non-salaried system of remuneration to member physicians are negatively related to the price of medical services.

Nurses, as noted earlier, always have and are now using the five steps of the diagnosis process. This utilization is a valuable and essential element of a profession. On the other hand, conceptual analysis of the process suggests that all ten steps are necessary conditions for a natural history of nursing. Such a natural history would constitute a taxonomy of nursing diagnoses and would identify and codify essential concerns and associated nomenclatures which have been agreed upon by members of the profession. In turn, such an agreement would lead to a common universe of discourse for the clinicians, the students, the teachers, the administrators, and the researchers in nursing. A workable taxonomy would provide potential points of reference, purpose, and direction and would facilitate communication and collaboration in nursing practice, nursing education, and nursing research. Such a taxonomy would constitute a systematic ordering of the unique body of knowledge of nursing and would provide a foundation of level-one theory. On this basis could be built higher-level theories that are grounded in observable phenomena. This development, in turn, would create a bridge across the knowledge-practice gap and would allow more effective application of scientific knowledge to specific clinical patient-care and nursing problems. A workable taxonomy of nursing diagnoses would articulate areas of unique concern to nurses and nursing and would allow more unequivocal communication of the focus, limits, and nature of the realm of nursing to other professions, third-party payers, governmental agencies, and the public. Without the development of such a framework, nursing research will continue to flounder, nursing education will continue to lack articulation of ordered body of knowledge of nursing concerns and related cognitive and other competencies, and nursing practice will continue to drift toward the use of medical terminology and to focus on dependent and technical nursing functions and the extension of the role of the nurse in the domain of medicine. In short, the lack of a sound taxonomy of nursing diagnoses endangers the realm of independent functions of nursing--its care, comfort, and compassion for the person who suffers from illness, and its focus on increased patient self-help ability, self-determination, and health promotion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040855"} {"pmid": "1040856", "title": "Stating educational objectives in behavioral terms.", "content": "Stating educational objectives in behavioral terms.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040856"} {"pmid": "1040857", "title": "The editor's role.", "content": "The editor's role.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040857"} {"pmid": "1040858", "title": "Human biorhythmology: implications for nursing practicel.", "content": "Human biorhythmology: implications for nursing practicel.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040858"} {"pmid": "1040859", "title": "Biofeedback training: the voluntary control of mind over body and mind.", "content": "Biofeedback training: the voluntary control of mind over body and mind.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040859"} {"pmid": "1040861", "title": "The menopause: facts anf misconceptions.", "content": "The menopause: facts anf misconceptions.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040861"} {"pmid": "1040860", "title": "Euthanasia and the nurse practitioner.", "content": "Euthanasia and the nurse practitioner.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040860"} {"pmid": "1040862", "title": "Literature by consumers for nursing.", "content": "Literature by consumers for nursing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040862"} {"pmid": "1040863", "title": "Dying and death--and life experiences of loss and gain: a proposed theory.", "content": "Dying and death--and life experiences of loss and gain: a proposed theory.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040863"} {"pmid": "1040864", "title": "The woman in white.", "content": "The woman in white.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040864"} {"pmid": "1040865", "title": "Diabetes--some important hints and the role of a nurse in its prevention and management.", "content": "Diabetes--some important hints and the role of a nurse in its prevention and management.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040865"} {"pmid": "1040866", "title": "Feudal values in the modern Indian society.", "content": "Feudal values in the modern Indian society.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040866"} {"pmid": "1040867", "title": "A case study: a peculiar ectopic pregnancy.", "content": "A case study: a peculiar ectopic pregnancy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040867"} {"pmid": "1040868", "title": "Nurses' participation in patients' psychological problems.", "content": "Nurses' participation in patients' psychological problems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040868"} {"pmid": "1040869", "title": "Male midwives.", "content": "Male midwives.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040869"} {"pmid": "1040870", "title": "Rabies in perspective.", "content": "Rabies in perspective.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040870"} {"pmid": "1040871", "title": "Rural medicine: a new skill for the practice team in the countryside.", "content": "Rural medicine: a new skill for the practice team in the countryside.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040871"} {"pmid": "1040872", "title": "HL-A 27 and arthritis.", "content": "HL-A 27 and arthritis.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040872"} {"pmid": "1040873", "title": "The algometer: as useful as the thermometer.", "content": "The algometer: as useful as the thermometer.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040873"} {"pmid": "1040874", "title": "Cervical cytology.", "content": "Cervical cytology.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040874"} {"pmid": "1040875", "title": "The road back.", "content": "The road back.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040875"} {"pmid": "1040876", "title": "Consequences of delaying claims for injuries in hospital.", "content": "Consequences of delaying claims for injuries in hospital.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1040876"} {"pmid": "1040877", "title": "Management training - where now?

The livers received highly oxygenated blood from the hepatic artery and partly deoxygenated blood from the portal vein. There were no significant differences in amino acid uptake (81 +/- 4% of input), urea output (69 +/- 6% of uptake) or 'protein synthesis' as assessed by N accumulation in the liver. Amino acids were actively extracted from the plasma by both routes of infusion and , when the concentrations simul-ted those occurring in the portal vein of fed sheep, the uptake was very similar to that in vivo.

In tube dilution studies, large discrepancies between inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of BL-P1654 against Pseudomonas were observed. To explain these discrepancies which were not observed with carbenicillin, the kinetics of bacterial killing by these two penicillins were evaluated and compared. The kinetics of bacterial killing by both antimicrobial agents were characteristic of a penicillin, with killing initiating simultaneously with growth. Kill curves revealed the presence of a small number of cells resistant to BL-P1654 which were not detectable macroscopically. Studies on microbial resistance also showed the presence of a small but consistent number of cells resistant to BL-P1654 over a broad range of concentrations above its minimal inhibitory concentration. This pattern of resistance was not observed with carbenicillin. Thus, the discrepancies between inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of BL-P1654 were not due to any unusual bacteriostatic activity but rather due to a small number of resistant cells whose presence could be detected only by sensitive subculturing techniques.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041216"} {"pmid": "1041214", "title": "Letter: Shigella infection and antibiotic resistance.", "content": "Letter: Shigella infection and antibiotic resistance.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041214"} {"pmid": "1041217", "title": "Assessment of susceptibility of ampicillin-resistant enterobacteria to cephalosporins.", "content": "Assessment of susceptibility of ampicillin-resistant enterobacteria to cephalosporins. The susceptibility of 103 ampicillin-resistant strains of enterobacteria to two cephalosporins was assessed by turbidimetric monitoring and disk diffusion tests. The results obtained suggest that in most cases a correlation exists between the suppression of growth of a dense bacterial culture for a therapeutically acceptable period by a fixed, high concentration of cephalosporin and a large zone of inhibition (>/=24 mm) using a high potency disk. This correlation was found to hold good when a moderate, subconfluent inoculum and commercially obtained blood-agar plates were used for the disk test, but not when the stringent conditions required by the Kirby-Bauer test (which demands a dense inoculum on Mueller-Hinton agar) were employed. Better correlation was obtained with cephaloridine than with cephalothin.

It has the following advantages: (1) it is administered orally on a twice-daily dosage schedule, which facilitates patient compliance; (2) its toxicity is well defined and is not troublesome during short-term therapy; and (3) it penetrates tissues in therapeutic amounts and yields serum levels that are well above the minimum inhibitory concentrations of most staphylococci.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041230"} {"pmid": "1041231", "title": "Is there no place like 'Home'?", "content": "Is there no place like 'Home'?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041231"} {"pmid": "1041234", "title": "How can the vision of Janus help professional nursing?", "content": "How can the vision of Janus help professional nursing?", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041234"} {"pmid": "1041235", "title": "Planning the teaching staff for schools of nursing.", "content": "Planning the teaching staff for schools of nursing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041235"} {"pmid": "1041236", "title": "Structural equivalents of latency for lysosome hydrolases.", "content": "Structural equivalents of latency for lysosome hydrolases. 1. Structure-linked latency, a trait for most lysosome hydrolase activities, is customarily ascribed to the permeability-barrier function performed by the particle-limiting membrane, which shields enzyme sites from externally added substrates. 2. The influence of various substrate concentrations on the reaction rate has been measured for both free (non-latent) and total (completely unmasked by Triton X-100) hydrolase activities in rat liver cell-free preparations. The substrates were: beta-glycerophosphate, phenolphthalein mono-beta-glucuronide. p-nitrophenyl N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide and p-nitrophenyl beta-D-galactopyranoside. The ratio (free activity/total activity) X 100 is called fractional free activity at any given substrate concentration. 3. The fractional free activity of beta-glucuronidase and beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase were clearly independent of substrate concentration, over the range examined, in both homogenates and lysosome-rich fractions. The fractional free activity of acid phosphatase appeared to be either unaffected (homogenate) or even depressed (lysosome-rich fraction) by increasing the beta-glycerophosphate concentration. The fractional free activity of beta-galactosidase consistently showed a non-linear increase with increasing substrate concentration in both homogenates and lysosome-rich fractions. 4. Procedures such as treatment with digitonin, hypo-osmotic shock and acid autolysis, although effective in causing varying degrees of resolution of the latency of lysosome hydrolase activities, were unable to modify appreciably the pattern of dependence or independence of their fractional free activities on substrate concentration, as compared with that exhibited by control preparations. Ouabain did not affect the free beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity of liver homogenates at all. 5. Preincubation of control preparations with beta-glycerophosphate or p-nitrophenyl beta-galactoside did not result in any significant stimulation of the free hydrolytic activity toward these substrates. 6. The results consistently support the view that the membrane of \"intact\" lysosomes is virtually impermeable to all the substrates tested, except for p-nitrophenyl beta-galactoside, for which the evidence is contradictory. Moreover the progressive unmasking of the hydrolase activities produced by these procedures in vitro reflects the increasing proportion of enzyme sites that are fully accessible to their substrates rather than a graded increase in the permeability of the lysosomal membrane.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041236"} {"pmid": "1041242", "title": "The ionic channels in excitable membranes.", "content": "The ionic channels in excitable membranes. The ionic channels in excitable membranes are of two classes: those that open and close when the membrane potential alters and those that respond to the release of an appropriate chemical transmitter. The former are responsible for the conduction of impulses in nerve and muscle fibres and the latter for synaptic transmission. It is now clear that the sodium and potassium channels in electrically excitable membranes are functionally distinct, since each can be blocked without affecting the behaviour of the other. It has recently proved possible to study, in the voltage-clamped squid giant axon, the movements of the mobile charges or dipoles that form the voltage-sensitive portion of the sodium channels, which give rise to the so-called 'gating' current. Detailed comparisons can now be made between the kinetics of the ionic conductances as described by Hodgkin & Huxley, and the steady-state distribution and kinetics of the charged controlling particles, which should lead to useful conclusions about the intramolecular organization of the sodium channels and the conformational changes that take place under the influence of the electric field. There is as yet little information about the chemical nature of the electrically excitable channels, but significant progress has been made towards the isolation and characterization of the acetylcholine receptors in muscle and electric organ.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041242"} {"pmid": "1041243", "title": "Spasmonemes, a new contractile system.", "content": "Spasmonemes, a new contractile system.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041243"} {"pmid": "1041244", "title": "How does ATP act as an energy source?", "content": "How does ATP act as an energy source? Two misleading conclusions drawn from the classical treatment of thermodynamics are, first, that single molecules cannot be treated thermodynamically and, second, that all real processes must be irreversible. The first conclusion has meant that the disruptive effect of thermal motions has been ignored, the second has meant that dynamic forces which cannot exist without stored energy, have been left out of account. The effect of these beliefs is demonstrated by analysis in detail of a simple electrostatic model of muscle. It is shown that the necessity of protecting each step against decay of the stored energy, and the requirement that each should be specific, has the effect of stopping the model actually working. Moreover, the character of static forces, which are strongest after their stored energy has been used up, precludes their use in cyclic processes because as much stored energy is required to undo them later in the cycle. Covalent intermediates are also examined from a quantum mechanical viewpoint and it is shown how these store energy which can be transferred by resonant transitions in the ground state when groups like phosphate are transferred chemically between molecules. But this analysis shows that, necessarily, the energy remains stored and therefore not available for muscular contraction. Then it follows naturally both that bond vibrations are produced in exothermic chemical reactions and that, because the force disappears when the energy has been used up, resonant exchange of stored energy in the excited state should solve the difficulties of previous approaches to these problems.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041244"} {"pmid": "1041246", "title": "Mechanical and biochemical cycles in muscle contraction.", "content": "Mechanical and biochemical cycles in muscle contraction. The current biochemical approach to understanding the mechanism by which chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy in muscle is by investigating the kinetics of the reaction of ATP with the isolated contractile proteins in solution with stopped and quenched flow techniques. The results are interpreted in terms of a cycle of hydrolysis of ATP. The current mechanical approach lies through the kinetics of force production or length change in preparations with the contractile proteins intact, by following step changes in length or tension. The results are usually interpreted in terms of mechanical cycles of activity of cross-bridges, in which a cross-bridge progresses through a series of states with different mechanical properties. If the biochemist's and the mechanist's cycles are one and the same, a problem arises over the correspondence between states in the two cycles. One approach to answering this question is through the determination of the effect of pH and of such substances as ATP, ADP and inorganic orthophosphate on the mechanical response. We hope that these will act at known points in the biochemist's cycle and their influence upon the mechanical cycle should enable their location here to be ascertained.

Three main problems in the energetics of muscular contraction confront us at the present time:- (1) Thermodynamics. This is a labyrinthine subject in the sense that there are often several equally correct ways (that may appear different) of arriving at the same result. The recent advances in the kinetics of the reactions of muscle proteins have increased still further the need for understanding among muscle physiologists-and other biologists-of those parts of thermodynamics that concern them directly, notably those relating work and chemical change. (2) Energy balance. Over the whole cycle of contraction, relaxation and oxidative recovery, the observed energy output (heat + work) can be accounted for by the chemical processes currently believed to operate in the cycle. In contrast, during contraction and relaxation alone, the energy output is greater than can be accounted for by the extent of known chemical reactions combined with their heats of reaction (measured calorimetrically). The physical and chemical methods cross-check one another-hence the usefulness of the method. The details of this discrepancy may vary from species to species but it is seen in all the experiments known at this time. The general problem will be resolved only when we know more about the chemical reactions that have occurred and reliable measurements have been made of their heats of reaction in vitro. (3) Work balance. Work and heat differ thermodynamically and, since the production of work is a primary function of muscles, the question naturally arises whether the observed splitting of ATP (combined with estimates of the change in free energy of this reaction) is sufficient to account for the work observed. On present information, which is imperfect in several respects, the chemical change is sufficient to account for the work. Estimates of the efficiency of transduction vary in different laboratories from 45 to 66%.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041245"} {"pmid": "1041237", "title": "Patterns of the drug habit in hospitalized psychiatric patients.", "content": "Patterns of the drug habit in hospitalized psychiatric patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041237"} {"pmid": "1041247", "title": "Mitochondria, chloroplasts, and energy transfer: a discussion.", "content": "Mitochondria, chloroplasts, and energy transfer: a discussion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041247"} {"pmid": "1041241", "title": "A simple method for the determination of dependence-producing drugs by gas chromatography.", "content": "A simple method for the determination of dependence-producing drugs by gas chromatography.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041241"} {"pmid": "1041238", "title": "Six years of cross-sectional surveys of student drug use in Toronto.", "content": "Six years of cross-sectional surveys of student drug use in Toronto.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041238"} {"pmid": "1041240", "title": "A simple sensitive specific field test for cocaine based on the recognition of the odour of methyl benzoate as a test product.", "content": "A simple sensitive specific field test for cocaine based on the recognition of the odour of methyl benzoate as a test product.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041240"} {"pmid": "1041239", "title": "Responses of poppy, Papaver somniferum, to photoperiod.", "content": "Responses of poppy, Papaver somniferum, to photoperiod.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041239"} {"pmid": "1041256", "title": "Trends in continuing education in the United States.", "content": "Trends in continuing education in the United States.

The composition and flow of parotid saliva in conscious sheep was measured before, during and after the intravenous infusion of 0-43 M-KCl or 0-43 M-NaCl at 2 ml./min for 2 hr. The salivary flow rate was depressed during the infusion of potassium chloride into both intact sheep and adrenalectomized sheep. As the salivary flow was unchanged by sodium chloride infusion it was concluded that the potassium ion was responsible for the decrease in flow and that this effect was not mediated through any of the adrenal hormones. The highly significant negative correlation between plasma potassium concentration and salivary flow throughout all potassium infusions indicated that the extent to which the salivary flow was depressed varied with the degree of hyperkalaemia. Except for situations where mineralocorticoid levels were likely to be elevated the concentrations of sodium and potassium in the saliva were positively correlated with the plasma concentrations of these ions. The salivary bicarbonate concentration of the saliva was negatively related to flow.

The p-aminohippurate (PAH) clearance, inulin clearance and the excretion of electrolytes by 10 adrenalectomized sheep were measured before, during and after the infusion of 0-43 M-KCl at 2 ml./min for 2 hr. The PAH clearance increased as the plasma potassium concentration increased up to approximately 6-0 m-mole/l. Further increases in plasma potassium were associated with a progressive return of the PAH clearance to or below the pre-infusion levels. At its maximum the PAH clearance was 1-228 +/- 0-032 (S.E. of mean) times the pre-infusion levels. The inulin clearance increased to reach a mazimum coincident with or subsequent to the maximum PAH clearance. The maximum level of inulin clearance during the hyperkalaemia was 1-158 +/- 0-020 times the pre-infusion clearance. The increments in the clearance of potassium and of bicarbonate rose rapidly to exceed the increment in inulin clearance during the hyperkalaemia in all experiments. The increments in the clearance of sodium and of chloride exceeded the increment in inulin clearance in more than half the experiments. It was concluded that although hyperkalaemia was associated with increased glomerular filtration much of the increased excretion of sodium, chloride and bicarbonate was derived from depressed tubular reabsorption of the ions. When the infusion experiments were repeated on the same animals the sheep demonstrated an improved ability to control the rise in plasma potassium concentration which was similar to potassium adaptation described in other species. There were no apparent differences between sheep maintained on 1-5 mg and 5 mg deoxycorticosterone acetate daily in their adaptation to potassium loading and the effect was tentatively attributed to the level of steroid maintenance being chronically high. The toxicity of hyperkalaemia was not lessened by this adaptation to potassium loading.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041405"} {"pmid": "1041406", "title": "Plasma iron transport during egg laying and after oestrogen administration in the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus).", "content": "Plasma iron transport during egg laying and after oestrogen administration in the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus). The concentrations of 59Fe and of radioiodinated transferrin and albumin were measured in the blood, liver, spleen, bone marrow and ova at different times after the injection of transferrin-bound 59Fe and the labelled proteins into non-laying, laying and oestrogen treated chickens. In the egg-laying and oestrogen-treated birds the 59Fe of the plasma was rapidly transferred from transferrin to another component with the properties of th phosphoprotein, phosvitin. Radioactive iron, and labelled transferrin and albumin to a lesser extent, entered the ova only while they were in the ovary. Relatively more labelled transferrin than albumin was found in all the tissues studied except in the ova, in which the two labelled proteins were present in the same relative concentration as in the plasma. It is concluded that, during egg laying and after oestrogen treatment, plasma iron bound to transferrin is taken up by the liver, incorporated into phosvitin and is then secreted into the plasma leading to elevation of the plasma iron concentration and transfer of iron to the ova.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041406"} {"pmid": "1041407", "title": "Emergency management of acutely burned patients.", "content": "Emergency management of acutely burned patients.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041407"} {"pmid": "1041408", "title": "Surgery + intensive nursing care equal this happy ending.", "content": "Surgery + intensive nursing care equal this happy ending.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041408"} {"pmid": "1041410", "title": "Emergency care of the hemophiliac.", "content": "Emergency care of the hemophiliac.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041410"} {"pmid": "1041409", "title": "Keeping tabs on I.V. fluid intake.", "content": "Keeping tabs on I.V. fluid intake.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041409"} {"pmid": "1041411", "title": "For earlier correction of great-artery transposition.", "content": "For earlier correction of great-artery transposition.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041411"} {"pmid": "1041412", "title": "As flu season approaches: a call to battle.", "content": "As flu season approaches: a call to battle.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041412"} {"pmid": "1041414", "title": "Nursing decisions: experiences in clinical problem solving.

The subchronic (7-35 day) p.o. administration of TR2379 at 820 mg/kg to 20 rats did not produce elevation of AP activity in serum or liver. Relative liver weights (g/100 g body wt) of rats receiving TR2379 were significantly increased during the 2nd week and thereafter. The results of these studies suggest that high doses of TR2379 induce protein synthesis in dog and rat liver and induce AP activity in the dog but not in the rat. The elevation of AP in the dog is not considered to have toxicologic implications.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041454"} {"pmid": "1041459", "title": "Rights outlined for directors of nursing.", "content": "Rights outlined for directors of nursing.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041459"} {"pmid": "1041458", "title": "Editorial: Nurses must press for consumer's right to health care.", "content": "Editorial: Nurses must press for consumer's right to health care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041458"} {"pmid": "1041457", "title": "Sen.

The study of resistance patterns of strains of bacteria to antibiotics in different regions of a country and, if possible, comparing them at international level appears to be a useful exercise. The patterns of resistance during 1968-71 revealed an increasing resistance for most antibiotics with an unexpected increase for chloramphenicol. Notable is a decreasing resistance, not only of coagulase-positive strains of Staphylococcus aureus but also of other micro-organisms towards doxycycline. For practical purposes there was no difference between the sensitivy of the isolates from hospitalized patients and from out-patients, though less pronounced in the latter. The incidence of resistance among strains isolated from the paediatric ward was low. Comparatively small changes in molecular structure may result in relatively large differences in the sensitivity pattern; for example, between tetracycline and doxycycline (Vibramycin, Pfizer), the greatest activity is seen with doxycycline.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041490"} {"pmid": "1041500", "title": "Resistance categories of enterobacteria to beta-lactam antibiotics.", "content": "Resistance categories of enterobacteria to beta-lactam antibiotics.

In response to these the paper first discusses the relation of the sick role to deviant behavior and the motivation to become and remain ill. The position was taken that the author never had meant to confine the category of illness to deviant behavior, though its negative valuation should not be forgotten. Nor had he confined it to cases of acute illness, omitting consideration of chronic and other types. The most important issue, however, concerned the structure of the relation between physician and patient. Though insisting that interaction between them is two-way, not one-way, the author insisted that the relation is basically asymmetrical because of the physician's expertise in health matters, gained through training and experience, and his special fiduciary responsibility for the care of the sick. In this respect the relationship is different from others such as the competitive market or the democratic association, but is comparable to the relation of teacher and student in higher education.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041510"} {"pmid": "1041511", "title": "The longevity and mortality of American physicians, 1969-1973.", "content": "The longevity and mortality of American physicians, 1969-1973.

Physician mortality and longevity are then compared with the experience prevailing among the U.S. white population of the same age and sex. Relationships between socioeconomic status and mortality suggest that physicians should have a better mortality experience than the general population and as such have a greater overall expectation of life. Previous studies of physician mortality in the United States using data from the records of the American Medical Association, have examined physician mortality relative to comparable groups of white males. No studies of physician mortality utilizing a population-based approach have been reported since that of the 1949 to 1951 population of physicians, and previous studies may have been subject to certain limitations in the data. Empirical findings are presented which demonstrate the improvement in physician longevity since 1925.

In ten patients, evidence of osteomyelitis disappeared and there has been no recurrence during follow-up periods varying from six months to 2 1/2 years.

In the past decade, there has been a concentrated effort to develop much needed advances in human sexuality, but many sexually misinformed or troubled members remain in our society. As more information is disseminated and people become sophisticated, there will be many people requesting help with sexual problems in primary and secondary health settings. Nurses need to equip themselves in this important aspect of health care. First, one's own values, attitudes, and knowledge must be carefully examined. Desensitizing, and incorporatin experiences have been used effectively to help get in touch with feelings and attitudes about the sensitive area of sexuality. Second, the nurse must be aware of the wide range of feeling and attitudes on specific sexual issues that have proved troublesome to our society. Third, the nurse must take advantage of educational opportunities to gain knowledge of psychosexual growth and development during the entire life span. Fourth, if the nurse desires to become involved in sexual conseling further education with concentration on the various innoviative techniques and approaches will be necessary to help clients with specific problems and concerns. Finally, sexual health programs need to be affiliated with a reputable health agency with prefessional supervision. All programs and new approaches must be evaluated to determine their effect on sexual health care.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041634"} {"pmid": "1041617", "title": "Patient attitudes toward nursing interventions.", "content": "Patient attitudes toward nursing interventions.

The curves of the non-distressed animals differed from the curves of the asphyxiated and of the distressed group. Eleven stability indices were calculated and the summation of these in situ surfactant characteristics was used for individual respiratory distress syndrome diagnosis. Low values (less than 2) of lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratios in lung fluid were found before the 130th day of gestation, but a steep increase of the L/S ratio was present after that period. Postnatal RDS was found in low L/S ratio cases, whereas normal lung stability was noticed in animals with L/S ratios greater than 2.

Consequently, the enzyme was markedly inhibited not only by the substrate, but also by the galactose hydrolized. The initial rate of reaction at sufficiently high substrate concentrations, however, did not fall to zero and did approach a finite value. Galactose behaved as a mixed inhibitor and was neither totally competitive nor totally noncompetitive. A rate equation was obtained from a generalized equation derived from a kinetic model which took both the inhibitions into consideration. The constants used in the equation were appropriately estimated. The calculated rate agreed fairly well with the observed initial rate. Moreover, the PNPG hydrolysis progressing in a batch system was found to be approximately representable by simple first order kinetics in which the rate constant was dependent on the initial substrate concentration.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041692"} {"pmid": "1041696", "title": "Health and industrial growth.

The two age groups did not differ in thebaine yield per unit of dry weight of root tissue. However, due to more profuse root growth, the total yield of thebaine from roots of the older plants was about four times that of the younger plants. Shoot thebaine concentrations differed significantly for 18- and 37-week-old plants. The over-all mean thebaine concentration for shoots of older plants was nearly twice that of younger plants. The variation in thebaine concentrations in these plants suggested genetic differences between the germplasm sources.

The expanded role of the nurse in social psychiatry involves building upon the conventional role of the nurse to include a focus on health promotion and prevention as well as on the detection and treatment of illness. Nursing is strategically located and uniquely prepared to take on such a challenge. Nursing has long recognized the holistic nature of families and communities. Nursing assumes that families have rights and responsibilities which include participation in the solution to problems which they helped to create. Nursing has been sensitive to the interrelationship between social expectation and dysfunctional behaviour. In the expanded role, nurses have accepted the mandate to transform society, to act as social change agents, as family advocates, as champions of minorities and as facilitators of mental health, i.e., the promotion and maintenance of mental health as well as disease detection and restoration of health. With a focus on mental health teaching, mental health promotion and prevention, nursing has the potential for providing an essential, holistic, now missing, link in the delivery of mental health services.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041716"} {"pmid": "1041725", "title": "Tranverse abdominal incisions in gynecologic surgery.", "content": "Tranverse abdominal incisions in gynecologic surgery.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041725"} {"pmid": "1041726", "title": "The orthomolecular approach to schizophrenia.", "content": "The orthomolecular approach to schizophrenia.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041726"} {"pmid": "1041727", "title": "The reversal by taurine of ouabain-induced arrhythmias and hypoglycemia.", "content": "The reversal by taurine of ouabain-induced arrhythmias and hypoglycemia.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041727"} {"pmid": "1041728", "title": "Propranolol hydrochloride: uses in present-day therapy.", "content": "Propranolol hydrochloride: uses in present-day therapy.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041728"} {"pmid": "1041730", "title": "The self-study process.", "content": "The self-study process.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041730"} {"pmid": "1041729", "title": "The accreditation process for colleges of osteopathic medicine.", "content": "The accreditation process for colleges of osteopathic medicine.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041729"} {"pmid": "1041731", "title": "Educational standards for colleges of osteopathic medicine.", "content": "Educational standards for colleges of osteopathic medicine.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041731"} {"pmid": "1041732", "title": "Summary of grants and loans available to osteopathic medical students.", "content": "Summary of grants and loans available to osteopathic medical students.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041732"} {"pmid": "1041733", "title": "The student loan funds.", "content": "The student loan funds.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041733"} {"pmid": "1041734", "title": "Continuing medical education.

The programs surveyed include those which prepare for beginning practice in nursing (baccalaureate, associate degrees, diploma, and practical nursing); those graduate programs that lead to masters and doctoral degrees in nursing; and those baccalaureate programs that conduct nursing programs for registered nurses only. Data on the status of state-approved basic schools (new schools, closed schools, and changes in existing schools) are obtained in September of each year from the state boards of nursing. In October, questionnaires are mailed to each school of nursing, as well as to those nursing programs that do not require state board approval (masters and doctoral programs, and baccalaureate programs for registered nurses). Information is also obtained from irregularly conducted surveys of all four-year colleges and universities in the United States that do not have state-approved basic nursing baccalaureate programs. The data obtained include admissions and graduations for the preceeding academic year, admissions for the current fall term, and enrollments as of October 15. Other information, such as data on men and minority students, is collected every three years. In recent years, enrollment figures for students who were admitted with advanced placement status have also been collected.

Nursing care given to patients in the O.R. should be no different qualitatively from nursing care given sedated and/or unconscious patients in other nursing units. The C.N.S. in the O.R. can help make such care a reality through giving care to patients and families as a role model, directing care as an expert through written care plans or physical presence, doing formal and informal teaching of patients, families, and staff, and through research.

The more complex the clinical setting, the more stressful is the period of learning. The O.R. can be a highly stressful place. The need for anticipation, planning and organization to provide efficient care with meticulous attention to detail is coupled with the need to perform smoothly numerous technical skills. Safe, humanistic care cannot be implemented unless the nurse is also able to assess each patient's individual biopsychosocial status, and identify his unique nursing care needs. In order to learn to cope with this level of complexity, the neophyte nurse must be provided with a planned, supportive experiential learning situation that also provides the time necessary to achieve a beginning level of mastery.

The effect of 4 days of continuous exposure to a cold environment on blood flow in, and oxygen and energy substrate uptake by the shivering hind leg has been studied in young steers. The animals shivered throughout the period of cold exposure and total oxygen consumption (total VO2) remained 40-50% greater than VO2 during thermoneutrality. Leg blood flow (leg Q) and oxygen uptake (leg VO2) increased two- and four-fold respectively on the first day of cold. Both had declined significantly by the final day, leg Q to a level 37% greater than, and leg VO2 to about double, pre-cold levels. The change in the relationships of leg Q and leg VO2 to total VO2 was examined by linear regression analysis, which suggested that the changing contribution of leg VO2 to total VO2 was entirely due to changes in leg Q, rather than in the arteriovenous difference in blood oxyhaemoglobin saturation across the leg. The net uptakes by the leg of free fatty acids (FFA), acetate, glucose and lactate all increased on the first day of cold. Both glucose and acetate uptakes were greater on day 4 than on day 1 in the cold, in spite of the lower leg VO2, but net uptakes of FFA and lactate were considerably lower. The decrease in net uptake of FFA is attributed mainly to an increase in the rate of lipolysis and release of FFA from fat depots in the leg, because of the associated progressive increase in the release of glycerol and oleic acid from the leg. The molar ratios of net carbohydrate substrate, acetate and FFA uptakes to leg VO2 are compared. The results suggest that tissues other than the leg muscles become increasingly important as sites of heat production, and that there are changes in the utilization of glucose, acetate and FFA by shivering muscle, during prolonged cold exposure.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041798"} {"pmid": "1041799", "title": "The effects of vagotomy on ventilation and blood gas composition in dog, sheep and rabbit.", "content": "The effects of vagotomy on ventilation and blood gas composition in dog, sheep and rabbit. The influence of vagotomy on resting arterial blood gases (PaCO2 and PaO2) and on the ventilatory responses to hypercapnia and hypoxia was studied in three different species of anaesthetized animals. After bilateral cervical vagotomy resting PaCO2 generally declined. In the dog, where this was studied more fully, resting PaCO2 declined significantly (8-13 +/- 0-67 mm Hg) over several hours, but PaO2 changes were not significant. After vagotomy tidal volume (VT), but not frequency (f), increased with increasing chemical drive. It is concluded that the increase in frequency in response to increased CO2 or decreased O2 is dependent on the vagal mechanisms. Minute volume, fractional inspiratory CO2 (VE, FICO2) and minute volume, fractional inspiratory O2 (VE, FIO2) relationships have been determined. Although vagotomy may not decrease the response of minute volume of ventilation in the lower part of VE, FICO2 curves (mild hypercapnia), it flattened the upper parts of the curves in sheep and rabbits, and to a lesser extent in dogs; it seemed that there was little species difference in this respect. Ventilatory responses to graded hypoxia were close to or slightly higher than pre-vagotomy values throughout the VE, FIO2 curves in all animals.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041799"} {"pmid": "1041800", "title": "Renal regulation of phosphate excretion in the pig.", "content": "Renal regulation of phosphate excretion in the pig. Young pigs of about 25 kg in weight were given supplements of Na2HPO4 either in their food or by intravenous infusion and the effects on urinary phosphate excretion were studied. The results obtained showed that the amount of inorganic phosphate excreted in the urine increased with increase in the amount of phosphate filtered at the glomerulus. A threshold value for phosphate excretion in these pigs occurred at a plasma concentration of 2-03 mmol/l. while over a wide range of filtered phosphate load (0-21-1-14 mmol/min) phosphate was reabsorbed at a mean maximum rate of 0-19 mmol/min. Parathyroidectomy did not alter the relationship between phosphate excretion and filtered phosphate load which suggests that in the pig adjustment of renal phosphate excretion in relation to filtered load is not dependent upon parathormone.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041800"} {"pmid": "1041801", "title": "Mast cells and gastric secretion in the rat.", "content": "Mast cells and gastric secretion in the rat. Gastric secretion of acid was measured in adult rats deprived of solid food for 48 hr. In control animals, values were obtained for the residual content of acid in the stomach, indicative of the rate of basal secretion, and for the quantities of acid secreted in 30 min following injections of histamine, pentagastrin, insulin and compound 48/80. The same measurements were made in groups of rats treated for 5 days with compound 48/80 (a regime which depleted the whole body of mast cells) and for 3 days with dexamethasone (which selectively depleted the gastric mucosa of mast cells). The content of residual acid was depressed to one third of the control value in the 48/80-treated rats, but the additional secretion due to histamine, pentagastrin or insulin was unaffected. A secretory response to a single injection of compound 48/80 could not be obtained in rats depleted of mast cells. In the dexamethasone-treated rats, the residual level of acid was increased to 1-5 times the control value, but the magnitudes of the responses to secretogogues were unchanged. It is concluded that basal secretion of acid into the stomach of the rat is stimulated by histamine derived from mast cells throughout the body, those of the gastric mucosa having no special significance in this respect. Mast cells are not involved in the mediation of the secretagogue actions of exogenous histamine, pentagastrin and insulin, but the present results do not preclude the participation of histamine from sources other than mast cells in the process of gastric secretion.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041801"} {"pmid": "1041803", "title": "Aortic-iliac-femoral thrombosis in a horse.", "content": "Aortic-iliac-femoral thrombosis in a horse.", "url": "http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1041803"} {"pmid": "1041802", "title": "Secretory responses to sympathetic stimulation of the cat's salivary glands in a state of resting secretion.", "content": "Secretory responses to sympathetic stimulation of the cat's salivary glands in a state of resting secretion. The secretory effect of sympathetic stimulation on the cat's submaxillary gland was augmented greatly when studied against a background of slow secretion evoked by parasympathetic stimulation at a low frequency and imitating the slow resting secretion normally present in the waking state. The sympathetic secretory threshold was markedly lowered, and even at low frequencies sympathetic stimulation caused a large, well-maintained response. After an alpha-adrenoceptor blocking drug sympathetic stimulation alone lost its secretory effect, but during resting secretion part of the accelerating effect was found to remain; this effect was elicited via beta-adrenoceptors. A marked secretory effect of sympathetic stimulation was also obtained during resting secretion in the parotid gland, where the sympathetic secretory effect is normally very small.", "url":
