Some Aspects Of Carbohydrate Metabolism In The Cercariae Of Schistosoma Mansoni Sambon, 1907, A. Eugene Dunham Jr.

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Cercariac of Schistosoma mansoni were studied for glycogen utilization, uptake of glucose from solution, lactic acid production, and respiration.

Using the anthrone method of determination of carbohydrate, the amount of glycogen used by a single cercaria in 4 hours is determined as 43.2 x 10^-4 μg ± 6.6 x 10^-4 μg.

Glucose was not observed to have been used from solution under the conditions of the experiment, even in the presence of trehalose. The determinations were made by the Glucostat method.

After deproteinization and desugarization, aliquots of supernatant from cercarial suspensions were analyzed for lactic acid using p-phenylphenol …

Studies Of The Mechanism By Which Chronic Metabolic Acidosis Augments Urinary Calcium Excretion In Man, Jacob Lemann Jr., John R. Litzow, Edward J. Lennon

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

We carried out clearance studies in nine healthy adults and four patients with hypoparathyroidism before and after inducing stable metabolic acidosis with either NH₄Cl or acetazolamide. Clearances were repeated in seven normal subjects and three of the patients 3 days after stopping these agents.

During acidosis in the normal subjects, serum ultrafilterable calcium concentration rose significantly, but inulin clearance fell to a greater extent, so that the calculated filtered load of calcium fell significantly. Despite this, urinary calcium excretion rose. Urinary calcium excretion remained elevated in the recovery studies when the serum ultrafilterable calcium concentration and filtered load …

The Effect Of Treatment Of Acidosis On Calcium Balance In Patients With Chronic Azotemic Renal Disease, John R. Litzow, Jacob Lemann Jr., Edward J. Lennon

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Small but statistically significant negative calcium balances were found in each of eight studies in seven patients with chronic azotemic renal disease when stable metabolic acidosis was present. Only small quantities of calcium were excreted in the urine, but fecal calcium excretion equaled or exceeded dietary intake. Complete and continuous correction of acidosis by NaHCO₃ therapy reduced both urinary and fecal calcium excretion and produced a daily calcium balance indistinguishable from zero.

Apparent acid retention was found throughout the studies during acidosis, despite no further reduction of the serum bicarbonate concentration. The negative calcium balances that accompanied acid retention …

Effects Of Music Therapy And Personal Interaction On The Preoperative Patient, Phyllis Jean Nix

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

This study was conducted to discover the effects of (1) an interpersonal relationship and (2) an interpersonal relationship and music therapy on preoperative patients in a selected hospital.

The descriptive survey was chosen as the method of study. A checklist and a tape recording of selected music were used as a tool of research. Two groups of preoperative patients were given nursing care by the researcher. Patients in Group One received care with an aim toward developing an interpersonal relationship, while patients in Group Two received the same as Group One with the addition of music therapy.

Findings revealed a …

Studies Of Cardiovascular Energy Changes Occurring With Drug Administration Under Normal Acid Base Balance And During Hypercapnia, Ischemia, And Metabolic Acidosis, Earl E. Aldinger

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Reflex autonomic changes occurring with the use of cardiovascular drugs may, as a side effect, increase cardiac work and oxygen demand. Improvement of coronary flow and/or a decrease in myocardial work load without increasing oxygen utilization are the desired effects of drugs used in the treatment of coronary insufficiency. The improvement of cardiac function is the purpose of drugs used in the treatment of heart failure. In either case the therapeutic effect may be accomplished through a direct myocardial effect and/or a decrease in cardiac pressure work load through extracardiac action. Through animal experimentation and patient correlation of the many …

The Assay And Properties Of Labile Factor (Factor V), Armand J. Quick

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

Human oxalated plasma stored at 4° C. until the prothrombin time is increased beyond 60 sec. is a reliable medium for assaying labile factor (factor V) because its response to added labile factor corresponds quantitatively to that of plasma from patients with congenital deficiency of this factor. Such an agreement is not obtained with plasma stored at 37°C. The stability of labile factor is closely associated with ionized calcium. The addition of thrombin to fresh oxalated plasma causes an apparent hyperactivity of labile factor, but this is completely removed by adsorption with Ca₃(PO)₂. Oxalated plasma when …

A Study Of The Influence Of Acid-Base Changes On Myocardial And Vasopressor Responses To Arterenol And Epinephrine, Earl E. Aldinger

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

It is well known that when the body is subjected to various stress conditions there is almost always a reflex release of certain neurohumoral substances in an attempt to compensate for these abnormal conditions. Acid-base changes, for example, are some of the most frequent occurring under these conditions. As mentioned throughout this thesis there is a direct correlation between acidosis end extreme hypotension or shock. The objective of these experiments was to investigate and determine the influence of acidosis on the cardiovascular response to the sympatho-adrenal hormones, arterenol and epinephrine, which are released in large amounts during shock. These studies …

The Chemical State Of The Calcium Reacting In The Coagulation Of Blood, Armand J. Quick, Mario Stefanini

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

1. The widely accepted theory that calcium participates in the coagulation mechanism in the form of Ca⁺⁺ and acts as a catalyst is not in accord with several important experimental findings:

(a) The anticoagulant action of sodium oxalate is much slower than the precipitation of ionized calcium as the oxalate salt.

(b) Sodium citrate begins to depress prothrombin activity at a concentration at which ionized calcium is still present. The inability of tricalcium phosphate to adsorb prothrombin from citrated plasma indicates that citrate forms a complex with prothrombin and it is postulated that prothrombin is …

Quantitative Sugar Estimations In Pleural Fluid - An Aid To Diagnosis, John E. Peterson

The Corn-Stalk Disease In Cattle, Frank S. Billings

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

MORPHO-BIOLOGICAL CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN TWO OR MORE MICRO- ETIOLOGICAL ORGANISMS NOT SUFFICIENT GROUNDS FOR PRONOUNCING THE DISEASES WITH WHICH THEY ARE CONNECTED IDENTICAL. The details of this discussion will be found in my report on the swine-plague. It is necessary, however, to touch upon the essential points here also. As was there shown, Hueppe asserts that the European diseases previously mentioned as being caused by a member of this group of belted, ovoid germs, viz., the “ Huhne Cholera, Kaninchen Septikasmie, und Wild Seuche ’ ’ are all one and the same disease, because their micro-etiological organisms have the same form, …

Inoculation—Vaccination, Frank S. Billings

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

When one comes to discuss this question with the members of the profession as he casually meets them, he is often surprised to find how uncertain and clouded the prevailing ideas are upon the subject. In fact, the majority of physicians do not seem to have any clear conception of the act connected with the words “ inoculation ” and “ vaccination.”

Replicating Single-Cycle Adenovirus Vectors Generate Amplified Influenza Vaccine Responses, Catherine M. Crosby, William E. Matchett, Stephanie S. Anguiano-Zarate, Christopher A. Parks, Eric A. Weaver, Larry R. Pease, Richard J. Webby, Michael A. Barry

Nebraska Center for Virology: Faculty Publications

Head-to-head comparisons of conventional influenza vaccines with adenovirus (Ad) gene-based vaccines demonstrated that these viral vectors can mediate more potent protection against influenza virus infection in animal models. In most cases, Ad vaccines are engineered to be replication-defective (RD-Ad) vectors. In contrast, replication-competent Ad (RC-Ad) vaccines are markedly more potent but risk causing adenovirus diseases in vaccine recipients and health care workers. To harness antigen gene replication but avoid production of infectious virions, we developed “single-cycle” adenovirus (SC-Ad) vectors. Previous work demonstrated that SC-Ads amplify transgene expression 100-fold and produce markedly stronger and more persistent immune responses than RD-Ad vectors …
