Effects Of Diet And Stress On Gastric Lesions In Albino Rats And Guinea Pigs, Naomi Mckenzie

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Studies were conducted to (1) investigate whether any protective factor is present in fresh water-cured olives or fresh cabbage as compared with the heated supplements against stress-induced gastric lesions in rats maintained on a nutritionally adequate diet for six weeks, (2) determine the relative protective factor in water-cured olives as compared with cabbage, (3) study the effect of black pepper in combination with fresh cabbage and olives and heated cabbage and olives in rats that were fed the same nutritionally adequate diet, and (4) investigate the effects of the same dietary components—cabbage and olives--on histamine- induced gastric lesions in guinea …

The Effectiveness Of Camphorated Paramonochlorophenol, Metacresyl Acetate, And Prednisolone In Combination As An Antimicrobial Agent, Maurice Cutler

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Post-treatment discomfort following endodontic procedures can be caused by inflammation due to injudicious use of intracanal medicaments. Camphorated paramonochlorophenol, metacresyl acetate, and prednisolone in combination is advocated to reduce the inflammatory potential of the germicide and thus reduce the occurrence of post-operative pain. It is imperative that a medicament retain antimicrobial activity while reducing inflammatory potential.

This investigation was undertaken toward determining on an in vitro quantitative bactericidal versus bacteriostatic basis by use of the broth dilution test tube method whether camphorated paramonochlorophenol, metacresyl acetate, and prednisolone in combination retains antimicrobial activity comparable to selected other commonly used nonspecific germicides. …

Conclusions

1. Under experimental conditions wild boars are sensitive to toxoplasmosis to a significant degree. In all 6 of the infected animals the disease ended lethally. The characteristic clinical symptom was involvement of the eyes.

2. Spontaneous Toxoplasma antibodies were observed in 36 (34.3%) of 105 boars studied with CFRs.

3. Toxoplasma was found microscopically in smears of kidney, spleen, and brain from 3 boars; the bioprobe method revealed it in the lymph nodes of 10 animals; in these cases the strain isolated was avirulent.

Evaluation Of The Essentiality Of Dextran In The Dental Caries Process, William Redman Grigsby

Theses and Dissertations

In summary, the main points to support the view that dextran synthesis is unessential to the dental caries process are presented below:

1 . Dextran-fed, microbe-bearing rats do not experience dental caries.

2 . Lactobacillus casei 4646 has no extracellular dextransucrase enzyme or other extracellular enzymes which release glucose or fructose from sucrose .

3. L. casei 4646 does not synthesize extracellular polysaccharide of the dextran class when grown on sucrose-containing medium.

4. L. casei 4646 does not exhibit in vitro, adherent growth on stainless-steel wire when grown on sucrose-containing medium .

5. L. casei 4646 does not cause dental …

The Effects Of Alcohol On Three Levels Of Complex Human Behavior, Grady Vancil Maraman

Theses and Dissertations

That alcohol affects human behavior has been known for centuries. However, how and why it affects behavior has not been precisely established despite extensive research and study. The inconsistent action of alcohol at different doses on different tissue systems and on different response systems has been well documented (Kalant 1 referenced in 39). The exact sites of action of alcohol in the central nervous system and the relative influence of each of these sites in cognitive and motor behavior are not known. The primary purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of blood alcohol concentrations below 0.100 percent …

Alcaptonuria And Ochronosis With Diabetes Mellitus And Mycosis Fungoides: A Case Report, Jamshed U. Haq, Roy B. Patton

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A Negro woman with alcaptonuria, ochronosis, ochronotic arthropathy, diabetes mellitus and mycosis fungoides died of acute renal failure due to diabetic glomerulonephropathy and ochronotic nephrosis. The role of the renal lesions of ochronosis is presented in potentiating the effect of an underlying renal disease producing rapidly progressive kidney failure. The occurrence of ochronosis, diabetes mellitus and mycosis fungoides is apparently coincidental only. Special stains of tissue sections confirm the similarity of melanin and ochronotlc pigment.

Cation Transport I. Metabolic Activity Of The Polyphosphoinositide Complex In Isolated Renal Cortex Tubules, Paul Bartlett, James F. Bossart

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Although several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the transport of hydrophylilc cations across lipoprotein barriers, the nature and identity of the carrier mechanism have not yet been elucidated. The present communication is concerned with a mechanism postulating that monoesterified phosphate on the inositol moiety of phosphatidyl inositol might provide anionic sites that function as cation carriers via a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle, catalyzed in its simplest sequence by phosphatidyl inositol kinase and diphosphoinositide phosphomonoesterase activities. In this context, one might reasonably expect that turnover of monoesterified phosphate in the polyphosphoinositides of isolated renal cortex tubules would be reduced in tubules in …

The Mechanism Of Formation Of Certain Ventricular Septal Defects: A New Hypothesis, Jami G. Shakibi, Lester Weiss

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The generally accepted and most common mechanism of the pathogenesis of VSD is the failure of fusion of the conus ridges, atrioventricular cushions and the ventricular muscular septum. Our findings in a study of serial sections of the hearts of newborn gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) leads us to hypothesize a second, less common, mechanism for the development of VSD, i.e., an exaggeration of the normal process of resorption and atrophy which undermines the septal cusp of the tricuspid valve, thus separating it from the muscular septum. This hypothesis can explain an instance of high membranous VSD in the form of a …

Evaluation Of Cellular-Level Haversian Bone Resorption In Human Hyperparathyroid States: A Preliminary Report, H. M. Frost, A. R. Villanueva, Z. F. Jaworski, P. Meunier, A. G. Shimizu

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Cellular-level bone resorption was evaluated in 16 patients undergoing renal dialysis and in two with primary hyperparathyroidism, by quantitative histological means using tissue time markers. When averaged over periods greater than two weeks, the individual osteoclasts in these patients resorbed less bone in unit time than normal.

Promethazine-Chlorpromazine Combination In The Treatment Of Unmanageable Psychotic Patients, Armando R. Favazza

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Administering a combination of promethazine and chlorpromazine to patients with a "galloping psychosis" has an antipsychotic and tranquilizing effect which calms them down to a more manageable and less aggressive state. The drugs are chemically similar; promethazine's actions are strongly potentiated in the combination, so large doses must be given under careful supervision. Case histories demonstrate successful short term management of acutely psychotic, aggressive patients who were a danger to themselves and others.

Pneumatosis Cystoides Intestinalis: The Report Of A Case Associated With Severe Pulmonary Disease And Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Russell J. Crider, Philip Bentlif

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is discussed with emphasis on its clinical, radiologic, sigmoidoscopic, surgical and pathological characteristics. The four theories of the etiology of P.Cl. are neoplastic, infectious, nutritional, and mechanical. These theories are discussed, and a case of P.C.I, associated with severe pulmonary disease and chronic lymphocytic leukemia is presented to lend support to the mechanical theory.

The Prevalence Rate Of Congenital Heart Disease In Newborn Gerbils (Meriones Unguiculatus): A Preliminary Report, Jami G. Shakibi, Lester Weiss

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A preliminary report on the prevalence rate of congenital heart disease in newborn gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) is presented. Serial sections of the entire heart of 100 liveborn gerbils were studied. The prevalence rate of congenital heart disease was 4%. Ventricular septal defect was the most frequent lesion. This is in agreement with previous reports on rats.

Photographic Features Of Benign And Malignant Ulcers, N. V. Carandang, B. M. Schuman, R. J. Priest

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

One hundred and twenty-nine cases of benign gastric ulcer and 17 cases of malignant gastric ulcer studied by intragastric photography are reviewed. The benign ulcer, characterized by symmetrical contour and smooth base, was diagnosed correctly on the initial photographic study in 97.7% of cases. Malignant ulcers were diagnosed correctly in 59% of cases on the first study. The importance of color photography to complement roentgenographic evaluation of gastric ulceration is emphasized.

Protein Synthesis During Fungal Spore Germination. Iv. Transfer Ribonucleic Acid From Germinated And Ungerminated Spores, James L. Van Etten, R. Kent Koski, Mahmoud El-Olemy

Department of Plant Pathology: Faculty Publications

Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) fractions isolated from germinated and ungerminated spores of Botryodiplodia theobromae and Rhizopus stolonifer had acceptor activity for all 20 amino acids commonly found in protein, when tested with an enzyme fraction from germinated spores. Accordingly, it is unlikely that the absence of tRNA for a particular amino acid limits protein synthesis in fungal spores.

Parasitic Organisms In The Blood Of Arvicoline Rodents In Alaska, Francis H. Fay, Robert L. Rausch

Harold W. Manter Laboratory of Parasitology: Faculty Publications

A Grahamella-like organism (Schizomycetes: Bartonellaceae) was found in erythrocytes of laboratory-reared northern voles, Microtus oeconomus Pallas, which had been inoculated intraperitoneally with a saline suspension of ground fleas, Megabothris abantis (Roths.), from wild northern voles captured at Lower Ugashik Lake, Alaska Peninsula. A live-trapped northern vole from the same locality harbored trypanosomes referable to T. microti (Mastigasida: Trypanosomatidae). Two morphologically similar but biologically different strains of piroplasms (Piroplasmasida: Theileriidae) of uncertain generic status were isolated from northern voles of Ugashik Lake origin and from northern red-backed voles, Clethrionomys rutilus Pallas, from the vicinity of Anchorage, Alaska. In the natural …
