The Protein Efficiency Ratios Of Certain Individual And Supplemented Plant Foods, Barbara Jemison Myers

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Various individual and supplemented plant proteins were studied by the protein efficiency ratio (PER) method to determine their relative abilities to promote growth in young albino rats. Animals received a 10 percent level of protein in an otherwise adequate ration.

A soy fiber product was found to have a PER which was not significantly different from that of the control, which received non-fat Animals received a dry milk as the only source of protein, Despite good growth, however. these experimental animals failed to show satisfactory reproductive responses. When wheat gluten, lentils or pinto beans were used individually as protein sources, …

An Organ Culture Technique For Maintaining The Pulp Tissue Of Intact Human Teeth, John P. Devincenzo

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

The size of explants in organ culture is limited by their ability to feed, respire, and excrete by diffusion. The perfusion procedure described in this report is not limited to a particular explant size. The test tissue was the adult human tooth.

In order to maintain the pulp tissue of the intact human tooth in organ culture, special precautions were taken to prevent internal necrosis and to allow diffusion of nutrients and waste products. Using aseptic technique, a standard tissue culture medium plus appropriate antibiotics were delivered to a glass manifold housed in an incubator with an atmosphere at 100% …

A Comparative Study Of The 5- And 3-Meal Plans In Six Convalescent Hospitals In San Bernardino County, Donna J. Meek

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

A study comparing the 3- and 5-meal plans of food service, as used in long-stay geriatric units in San Bernardino County, have been compared. Three homes utilizing the 5-meal plan and three utilizing the 3-meal plan, to serve as controls, were chosen. A random sample of ten patients from each home was observed for three days to find the daily average nutrients in the foods served, eaten, and wasted. Also, interviews to compare factual information and attitudes were utilized for sample patients and personnel. The nutritional data was analyzed on the computer.

The results indicated that those on the 5-meal …

A Growth Study On Phenylketonurics, Emma Johnson Aitken

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Data from forty-eight medical records of phenylketonuria children under treatment were investigated to determine if growth, as measured by stature, was normal; and to determine if the state of control or the age at beginning of treatment had an effect on growth. Mean intakes of phenylalanine, protein, and calories were obtained on the nutritional data only if the simultaneous serum phenylalanine was equal to or less than 6 milligrams per cent. These means were grouped according to the age of the children into 7 groups (0

The height at beginning of treatment and the last measured height was compared with …

The Improvement Of Peripheral Blood Flow During Hemorrhagic Hypotension Following Phenoxybenzamine Treatment Expressed In Terms Of Extracellular Potassium Shifts, Thomas J. Wera

Master's Essays (1922 - )

The study of plasma electrolytes notably, the potassium and sodium ions during hemorrhagic stress and other forms of shock, were once the subject of intense investigation (42). However, the advent of new investigative techniques enabled more complex, experimental designs and methods to be used in which it was possible to study the many other variables which exist as a result of shock regardless of cause. The proponents of the probable electrolyte mechanism in shock subsequently diminished in numbers until recent times.

It is felt by this author that recent renewal regarding the various ions, especially the cations, sodium and potassium …

Further Correlations Of Cell Metabolism And Resistance To Tuberculosis: Studies On Mononuclear Peritoneal Exudate Cells From Mice And Guinea Pigs, John M. Smith Jr., Marvin J. Allison, Brenda Payne

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The metabolic activity of mononuclear exudate cells from mice of different strains, and from the guinea pig, have been compared to the rabbit with the aim of relating metabolic activity of these cells to resistance of these species to tuberculosis. The presence of mast cells in the peritoneal exudates of mice was thought to interfere with the dehydrogenation of certain substrates due to the release of histamine. Some experimental evidence presented by the authors seems to support this thesis.

The Treatment Of Diabetic Acidosis, Thaddeus S. Danowski

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The patient with diabetes mellitus who becomes unconscious presents a problem in differential diagnosis. We now recognize six possible causes of coma in the diabetic patient. These include the usual diabetic keto-acidosis, and five possible non-ketotic causes: I. Keto-acidosis II. Non-ketotic causes of coma A. Unconsciousness unrelated to diabetes, e.g. barbiturate intoxication, "stroke," uremia B. Hypoglycemia C. Lactic acidosis D. Hypernatremia E. Hyperglycemia

The State Of Insulin In The Blood, Thaddeus E. Prout

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Diabetes mellitus has been reviewed as a group of conditions with impaired function of one or more portions of a feed-back system involving the release and utilization of insulin. It is hoped that this may form a useful scheme by which we can study and understand a number of complex metabolic states which we must still collectively refer to as diabetes mellitus.

Insulin Antigenicity, Thaddeus E. Prout

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Thus we have seen that evidence of insulin antigenicity in one or more forms is present in most individuals receiving intermediate insulins for six weeks or longer. A number of clinical manifestations of insulin antigenicity and their treatment have been discussed.

Insulin Antagonists, John A. Owen Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In conclusion, the synalbumin antagonist exists, and may be important in the pathogenesis of human diabetes, but its role has not been proved. The proof will require elucidation of the problem of species specificity, and ability to measure accurately the levels of synalbumin antagonist.

Cholinergic Responses Of Schistosoma Mansoni, Ernest Bueding

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It is concluded that the use of pharmacological agents can provide opportunities to recognize and define similarities and differences in the mechanisms of transmission of nerve impulses in the parasite and the mammalian host. Such studies contribute to better understanding of comparative physiology and of the mode of action of antiparasitic drugs.

Recollections Of Professor Otto Meyerhof, Chalmers L. Gemmill

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Professor Meyerhof's laboratory represented the Institute approach with all of the workers devoting their attention to the several aspects of the single problem of muscle metabolism. The number of papers (Meyerhof, 1930) and the great contributions from this laboratory represent the results of the dominant personality of one man. The tributes (Nachmansohn, 1950) paid to him in 1950 were published in Metabolism and Function. Comparable tributes are now being given to Dr. Fischer upon his retirement.

Effects Of Salmonella Vaccination On Metabolism And Resistance To Infection Of Rabbit Peritoneal Cells, Marvin J. Allison, Enrique Gerszten, Blanca Sanchez

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Salmonella vaccine caused a depression of metabolism of peritoneal exudate cells from rabbits. This effect was associated with a depression in resistance of rabbits to infection with C. albicans. This depression in metabolism is similar to the one previously noted following BCG vaccine and associated with a depression in resistance to tuberculosis.

Problems In The Insulin Dependent Diabetic, Clay T. Gardner Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

It is often useful for the physician to classify diabetes as stable or unstable. Maturity-onset diabetes is usually stable, and its management is not difficult, provided the patient is interested and cooperative. Tendency to obesity, relative insensitivity to insulin, and absence of ketosis are characteristic of such patients. Relative insensitivity to insulin does not imply unresponsiveness, but rather that the blood sugar is not overly labile and does not fall sharply in response to exercise or injected insulin. Many patients with such insensitivity to insulin are adequately managed on diet, alone or in combination with the oral hypoglycemic agents. When …
