The Role Of High Molecular Weight Kininogen (Fitzgerald Factor) In The Activation Of Various Plasma Proteolytic Enzyme Systems, R. Waldmann, A. G. Scicli, J. Guimaraes, G. Scicli, Oscar A. Carretero, H. Kato, Y. N. Han, S. Iwanaga

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Bovine high molecular weight kininogen (bHMWK) partially corrects the aPTT of Fitzgerald-trait plasma, which is congenitally deficient in HMWK. The relationship between the structure and activity of HMWK was clarified by studying the effects of different fragments of bHMWK on the aPTT of Fitzgerald-trait plasma. The peptides studied, all in equimolar concentrations, were lys-bradykinin-free HMWK, bradyk In In-fragment 1-2-tree HMWK, heavy chain, fragment 1 -2-Hght chain, and light chain. Bradykinin- fragment 1-2-free HMWK, heavy chain, and light chain have little or no correcting activity upon Eitzgeraldtrait plasma aPTT. Fragment 1-2 light chain has the same correcting activity as intact bHMWK, …

The Chediak-Higashi Syndrome: Spectrum Of Giant Organelles In Peripheral Blood Cells, James G. White, C. C. Clawson

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The presence of giant organelles in the cytoplasm of peripheral blood elements is diagnostic for the Chediak-Higashi syndrome. These abnormal cytoplasmic inclusions are found within neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and platelets. Their fine structural characteristics differ. Neutrophils demonstrate striking variability in the size, shape, and internal features of their giant organelles. Lymphocytes contain two different types of giant inclusions, one with a smoothly homogeneous substructure, the other with structures resembling microtubules. Emphasizing the ultrastructural similarities and differences of these anomalous granulations may provide valuable clues for understanding the basic defect of this inherited disorder.

Isolation Of An Acid-Fast Organism From The Aqueous Humor In A Case Of Sarcoidosis, C. L. Barth, M. S. Judge, L. H. Mattman, P. C. Hessburg

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The anterior chamber fluid from the eye of this patient with sarcoidosis was found to contain microcolonies of a cellwall-deficient organism that was propagated and identified as acid-fast by the Intensified Acid-Fast stain. The colonies were inoculated into mice and retrieved from the dead or sacrificed animals. This report suggests that the acid-fast microbe in the aqueous humor of this case of uveitis-sarcoidosis may be the same organism as that found in the blood in sarcoidosis. Thus, it may be associated not only with the primary disease, but also with the complications of Boeck's sarcoidosis.

The Effect Of Escherichia Coli Endotoxin On The Cat Periapical Tissues, Thomas G. Dwyer

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The periapical tissue reaction to three concentrations of endotoxin solutions and to a sterile saline control solution was examined in six adult cats. The maxillary and mandibular cuspids were isolated and the pulps extirpated with barbed broaches. The four solutions (1, 10, 100 μg/ml endotoxin, and saline) were then injected into the four prepared teeth for each cat and the access cavities sealed with IRM.

At two week intervals, two cats were sacrificed and the specimens removed, while the remaining animals were retreated as previously described. The block tissue sections were radiographed, fixed in 10% buffered formalin, and prepared for …

Cell Mediated Immunity By Cytotoxicity Assay And The Effect Of Corynebacterium Parvum And Radiation On Mice Bearing Herpes-Induced Tumors, Robert B. Stagg

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Cell mediated immune (CMI) cytotoxic reactivity of Balb/c mice against H238 cells, a Herpes simplex virus (HSV) Type 2 - induced sarcoma, was measured by the ¹²⁵IUdR release assay. The Balb/c mouse response to the growing HSV-induced tumor, treated with radiation and , was measured by survival rate, tumor growth and immune cytotoxicity of spleen and peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) as determined by ¹²⁵IUdR release assay. Subcutaneous (s.c.) inoculation of 1 x 10⁶ H238 cells (high dose) produced progressive tumor growth while s.c. inoculation of 1 x 10⁴ H238 cells (low dose) produced no tumors. A …

Hematology As Related To Diving Characteristics Of Elaphe Obsoleta, Nerodia Erythrogaster, Nerodia Fasciata And Nerodia Rhombifera, Dennis A. Baeyens, M. W. Patterson, Chris T. Mcallister

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

The diving capabilities of Nerodia erythrogaster flavigaster and Nerodia fasciata confluens were investigated and the results were compared with similar studies on Nerodia rhombifera rhombifera and Elaphe obsoleta obsoleta (Baeyens et al., 1978). In addition, morphological and hematological parameters contributing to underwater survival were examined. The duration of underwater survival for N. erythrogaster and N. fasciata was approximately one hour with no difference between the species. The lung volumes of the two species were also similar but were significantly less than lung volumes reported for E. obsoleta. There were no significant differences in hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell count or …

In Vitro And Clinical Studies Of Cefaclor, A New Cephalosporin, Daria Kiani, Tom Madhavan, Keith Burch, Don Pohlod, Evelyn Fisher, Edward L. Quinn

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In vitro susceptibility studies of 246 clinical isolates demonstrated that this antibiotic was effective against Group A beta hemolytic streptococci, alpha hemolytic streptococci, S. pneumoniae, both penicillinase producing and nonpenicillinase producing Staphylococci, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis. Cephalothin susceptible E. coii were also susceptible to cefaclor. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Serratia sp., Enterobacter Sp., and Streptococcus faecalis were uniformly resistant to cefaclor. The efficacy and safety of this antibiotic were studied in 27 patients with urinary tract, soft tissue, and respiratory infections. Patients with urinary tract infections became abacteriuric after 48 hours. Patients with soft tissue infections responded well within the first …

Bone Erosion In Rheumatoid Arthritis, Howard Duncan, Catharina H. E. Mathews, Michael M. Crouch, A. M. Parfitt

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A histological study of fully mineralized bone sections was made on thirty joints surgically removed from patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The patterns of bone erosion fell into three groups: 1) that due to multinucleated osteoclasts; 2) areas of apparent bone erosion occupied exclusively by mononuclear cells; and 3) changes produced by an osteocyte which could either enlarge the lacuna space in which it resided or demineralize a region of bone in its immediate vicinity. Tissues taken from knee and hip specimens frequently showed all three cellular patterns of bone erosion, while the sections from finger joints rarely container multinucleated osteoclasts …

Caloric Restriction And Bile Salt Dynamics In Intact And Cholecystectomized Syrian Hamsters, J. Sanfield, W. T. Beher, G. J. Lin, R. Haamen

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

In vivo studies of bile salt absorption and distribution using 14C-taurocholate were made in fed and fasted, intact and cholecystectomized Syrian hamsters. There was no significant difference in the rate of ileal 14C-bile salt absorption or the distribution of 14C-bile salts among the compartments of the enterohepatic circulatory system in any of the animals. The results showed that the sphincter of Oddi is patent in fasting, intact and cholecystectomized hamsters. They also suggested that the diminished bile salt pool seen in fasted, cholecystectomized but not in intact hamsters arises from a) a primary, fasting-induced decrease in liver enzyme activity involved …

Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene (Ptfe) And External Velour Grafts As Small Artery Substitutes In Dogs, Farouq Samhouri, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Stanley G. Dienst, Roger F. Smith

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This experimental study compared the clinical patency, angiographic appearance, and histology of 4 mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and external double velour grafts which were used as external iliac artery substitutes in dogs. At one week there were no significant differences. However, at two months, none of the PTFE grafts were open, whereas six of the seven external double velour grafts were patent (p<0.05). Thus, in this study the 4 mm PTFE grafts are poor substitutes for canine iliac replacement.

Effect Of Donor Pretreatment On The Graft Survival Of Human Cadaver Kidneys, Stanley G. Dienst, Krishna D. Valjee, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The effect of donor pretreatment on perfused cadaver kidney allografts was evaluated in 40 recipients at Henry Ford Hospital over a two-year period. Ofthe 40,23 received kidneys from donors pretreated with 40 mg/K each of cyclophosphamide and methylprednisolone during the first year of the study and up to 70 mg/K during the second year. Our results indicated that donor pretreatment for five to eight hours did not consistently improve survival rates in pretreated perfused cadaver kidneys following transplantation. The use of cyclophosphamide for donor pretreatment does not prevent the use of continuous perfusion to preserve human kidneys. Dosages up to …
