Rabbit Erythropoiesis In Vitro, K. G. M. Brockbank

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

The erythropoietin (Ep) dose response of erythroid colony-forming units (CFU-e) and erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-e) from rabbit bone were similar to murine erythroid precursor Ep requirements. Bone marrow and peripheral blood contained a continuum of erythroid precursors at differing stages of maturation. The earliest BFU-e were assayed on day 10. CFU-e were observed in bone marrow, but not in peripheral blood. The most mature erythroid precursors observed in peripheral blood were intermediate BFU-e, assayed on day 5. A linear relationship exists between the number of nucleated bone marrow cells plated and the number of 3 day colonies and 10 day …

Time And Life: Applications Of Modern Chronobiology, Lawrence E. Scheving, John E. Pauly

Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science

Chronobiology is that branch of science which objectively quantifies and explores mechanisms of biological time structure. It is an integrating discipline that impacts on all forms of life. When physiological functions are plotted along a time scale, they appear as regularly repetitive wave forms with means, amplitudes, phasing and periods. In nature these rhythms are found to have many frequencies, from a fraction of a second (ultradian) to a year or more (infradian or circannual); and those with periods of about one day (circadian) have been explored extensively. Examples of several circadian rhythms are given for experimental animals and man. …

Investigation Of A Factor Released By Neoplastic Cells Which Produces A Chemokinetic Response In Activated Macrophages, Richard Durelle Lane

Theses and Dissertations

The increase in rate of random migration (chemokinesis) of C. parvum activated macrophages in media conditioned by Lewis Lung (LL) carcinoma cells was attributed to a trypsin sensitive, heat stable, high molecular weight factor released from the membrane of the tumor cells.

A capillary tube assay was developed to expediently monitor the chemokinetic activity of macrophages incubated in whole and fractionated media. The capillary tube assay was found to be capable of detecting both chemokinetic and chemotactic (directional movement) factors present in the test media. Statistical analysis revealed the capillary tube assay provided reproducible data both within and between experiments. …

The Effect Of Three Different Types Of Feedback On The Amount Of Force Generated During Isometric Contraction Of The Triceps Brachii Muscle, Cindy I. Buchanan

Theses and Dissertations

This study was undertaken in order to investigate the effect of different feedback variables on isometric strength performance. The variables studied were auditory EMG biofeedback, knowledge of results, and verbal cues.

Nineteen normal adult women volunteered as subjects for the study. Each subject performed nine isometric contractions of the triceps brachii muscle against the resistance of a cable tensiometer. One of three different types of feedback was given during each contraction in order to motivate subjects to generate as much force as possible. Feedback variables were applied in random order; each variable was used three times. Peak force readings were …

The Effect Of Walk Or Jog Recovery From Anaerobic Work On Blood Lactate Levels And Subsequent Two-Minute Run Performance, Rick Alan Livesey

Masters Theses

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of a walk or jog recovery on two-minute run performances and the concentrations of blood lactate.

Eight highly trained male subjects were selected from the Eastern Illinois University Track Team. The test procedure consisted of two, maximal two-minute runs on the track for distance, separated by a 30-minute recovery. The recovery consisted of a walk at 20-minutes per mile pace or a jog at 7½ to 8 minutes per mile pace. Venous blood samples were drawn three minutes after the first run, two minutes prior to the second run, and …

Comparative Effects Of Two Avoidance Paradigms Upon Ethanol Self-Selection, Richard O. Shellenberger Ii

Masters Theses

Twelve adult male rats were given free access to a two bottle free-selection of tap water or a 10% ethanol/tap water solution in the home cage for a period of 140 consecutive days with the alcohol consumption data in the form of mg absolute ETOH/g subject weight collected daily. This study incorporated three stages. Phase I was a 40 day period of alcohol acclimation with alcohol consumption during the second 20 days constituting the baseline consumption rate. Mean baseline alcohol consumption was used to block subjects into three groups. The second phase of the study consisted of an 80 day …

Comparison Of Burned Patients' Perception Of Pain With Nurses' Perception Of Patients' Pain, Merri Diane Walkenstein

Theses and Dissertations

Pain is a universal experience. Caring for people in pain is a central aspect of nursing practice. Many studies have been done to determine the physical and psychosocial mechanisms of the pain sensation, in addition to methods of relief. Very little has been done, however, dealing specifically with the pain experienced by the burned patient.

People hospitalized with thermal injuries complain most often of the intensity and long duration of their pain experience. Due to the large number of persons sustaining thermal injuries every year, it is apparent that nurses must familiarize themselves with methods of evaluation and intervention to …

Valium: Its Uses And Abuses, Jeffrey A. Hardy

Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects

Between the months of June 1978 and June 1979, I was employed at Sunshine Terrace, a nursing home in Logan, Utah. In the year I spent there working as an orderly on the wing for incontinent male patients, I was exposed to a lot of things of which I had previously been unaware.

One which I observed was the liberal use of medications. At each nuses' station there was a small room which contained about six cabinets full of prescription drugs for the forty or so patients on that wing. At least every four hours the medication nurse would prepare …

In Vitro Comparative Studies On The Effect Of Vinblastine Sulfate And Hyperthermia On Normal And Transformed Human Lung Fibroblasts, Fernando Alberto Duk

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Although the differential response of malignant cells to hyperthermia was observed at the end of the last century, few investigations into the phenomenon were made until fairly recently. At first the results obtained were inconsistent due mostly to the inefficient techniques in use at the time. The advent of cell and tissue culture, increased knowledge in tumor biology, advances in molecular biology, and the development of equipment which could raise and monitor the temperature of tumors during hyperthermic treatments, have made the study of the effects of supranormal temperature on malignant neoplasias substantially more reliable.

The effectiveness of the combined …

Alterations In Urinary Levels Of N1-Acetylspermidine In Response To Castration And Testosterone Replacement Therapy In The Rat, Andrew A. Lettes

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Castration and testosterone replacement therapy served as a model to assess anabolic activity in the rat. The present study was undertaken to examine more closely whether changes in cellular anabolic activity are reflected in subsequent alterations of urinary N¹ -acetylspermidine excretion.

A sensitive fluorometric assay was employed which utilized the dansylation reaction . The dansylated derivatives were quantitated by normal phase high pressure liquid chromatography. This assay system exhibited a range of linearity from 0.1 to 10 nanomoles which encompassed the physiological variability observed during analysis of urinary N¹-acetyl spermidine.

The normal level of N¹-acetylspermidine …

Effects Of Fixed Interval And Continuous Biofeedback Reinforcement On Emg Frontalis Muscle Activity, Kathleen I. Twinem

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

The effects of continuous vs. intermittent reinforcement using electromyographic (EMG) feedback as the reinforcer were compared in reducing frontalis muscle activity. Fourteen subjects were chosen from a group of 30 students who had expressed an interest in learning how to relax. Those students having the highest pre-experimental baseline scores were chosen. They were matched according to both those scores and sex and then randomly assigned to either a continuous biofeedback reinforcement group or a 30 sec. fixed interval biofeedback reinforcement group. The experiment consisted of nine sessions (three acquisition, two treatment, and four extinction) with integrated EMG activity from the …

Pharmacologic Investigation In Mice Of The Effects Of Narcotic Antagonists On Dopamine Agonist Reversal Of Oxotremorine Or Reserpine, Mike Minoru Namba

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

In the present study, two different drugs were used to induce a Parkinson-like condition. The first drug was the centrally acting cholinergic agonist oxotremorine (OXTM) which readily induces tremor and rigidity in mice (54). This tremor has been reported to be antagonized by dopamine agonists such as L-dopa and apomorphine (50,54,55) as well as by anticholinergic drugs such as scopolamine (46) . The other drug used was reserpine which interferes with the neuronal storage of dopamine and results in its depletion in the brain (56). Reserpine induces tremor, rigidity, blepharoptosis (a drooping of the eyelids), and catalepsy (48,57-59). The catalepsy …
