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 …

Treatment Of Persistent Open-Bite Malocclusions With Interarch Elastic Fixation, Kent L. Phillips

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes in the facial complex after treatment of persistent anterior open-bites with Dr. R. M. Ricketts' "squeeze treatment." This treatment method requires heavy elastic fixation for one month in conjunction with placement of T-loop arches.

Twelve open-bite patients were selected for the study. Quantative[sic] measurements from lateral cephalometric and laminagraphs of the temporomandibular joint were also evaluated. Qualitative observations were obtained from the periapical radiographs, models, and photos.

Tooth extrusion occurred in varying amounts followed by alveolar crest and apical repair.

Statistical significance was shown in the correction of incisor overbite, …

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 …

A Comparison Of Kidney Preservation Methods By Oxidative Phosphorylation Studies, Devprakash Samuel, Stanley G. Dienst

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

An oxygen consumption assay using adenosine diphosphonucleotide (ADP) was performed on canine kidneys to measure the efficiency of oxidative phosphorylation. The purpose of the assay was to establish a respiratory control index (RCI) that could be used to evaluate kidneys preserved by different methods. Of the four methods tested, perfusion yielded the best results after 24-hour preservation. Additionally, four pairs of human cadaver kidneys were evaluated with the same assay. Some correlation existed between the RCI values of the nontransplanted kidney in each pair and the clinical viability of its transplanted mate.

Prolonging Kidney Graft Survival With Concanavalin A: Effects Of Temperature, Perfusate Composition, Ph, And Different Manufacturing Lots, Luis H. Toledo-Pereyra, Richard L. Simmons

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

This study analyzes the effect of temperature, perfusate composition, pH, and variable manufacturing lots in prolonging kidney allograft survival with Concanavalin A (Con A). Cold temperature (4°C), crystalloid composition of the perfusates, and neutral or mildly alkaline pH were important factors in the effect of Con A on prolonging allograft survival. Also, different lots of Con A from the same manufacturer produced variable results in prolonging survival. Thus, multiple factors should be considered if Con A is to be used to prolong kidney allograft survival.
