The Nature Of Leukocytic Response To Mouse Mammary Tumor Implants In C3h/Hej Mice With And Without Anticoagulation, Melvin Earl Liter

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. The risk of cancer development and subsequent death from the disease increases sharply in the population over 55 years of age(1). Coagulation problems also increase with age and have been implicated in increasing the metastatic spread of cancer. Although cancer treatment has improved constantly it still remains quite toxic and improvement are needed

Mouse mammary tumor is a common form of cancer used for experimental animal study. This investigation was designed to study the nature of leukocytic response to mouse mammary tumor implants in C3H/HeJ mice with and …

Computerized Formulation And Optimization Of Medicated Chewing Gum, Daniel J. Berky

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Sixty Four caffeinated chewing gum preparations were formulated by varying the amounts of (i) cinnamaldhyde, (0-0.75%), (ii) docusate (0-0.5%) and (iii) sucrose (40-60%). The gum base consisted of 33.33% yellow beeswax and 66.66% polyisobutylene MH, and was added, adjusting for a final weight of 2 grams per gum. The amount of caffeine was maintained at 100mg. The preparations were subjected to an in vivo release study as well as a hedonic survey with a panel of student volunteers.

Data were analyzed by using multiple linear regression on a mainframe computer. The resulting mathematical model was used to predict a theoretically …

Pharmacognosy Of The Saururaceae : Microscopy Of Powdered Drugs, Prakash Vaman Mallya

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

Plants of the family Sauruaceae are used in folk medicine in various parts of the world. Chemistry of some plants of this family and their chemotaxonomy has been investigated in our laboratory (12).

It is very difficult to establish identity and authenticity of commercially available crude drugs and powders of the Saururaceae because a detailed, collective study of microscopic features of these plants is not available. Original papers establishing plants of this family (see later) do not include microscopic features; they describe only gross morphologic and other classical features required for systematics. They are not useful for a pharmacologist in …

The Incidence Of Obesity In Lds College Women: The Effect Of Selected Physical Socio-Environmental Variables On Total Percent Body Fat In Two Populations Of Lds Women, Carrie Tanner Summers

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of selected physical socio-environmental variables on total percent body fat. The sample population consisted of single, LDS, white women attending Brigham Young University (BYU) and California State University at Fullerton (CSUF). Significant data as well as trends that appeared were included in this paper.

From the data collected, it was concluded that the sample populations at BYU and CSUF were the same. The incidence of obesity was determined only among individuals attending both universities. The entire sample population mean was 22.19 percent. This percentage did not meet the obesity criteria. …

The Effect Of Selected Adjuvants On The In Vitro Percutaneous Penetration Of Benzocaine, See-Yan Lam

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

This research project was designed to test whether the in vitro percutaneous penetration of benzocaine through human cadaver skin could be enhanced by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), urea, polyoxyethylene (20) isohexadecyl ether and 1-dodecylazacycloheptan-2-one (Azone) in propylene glycol/water systems. Solubility and partitioning of benzocaine in propylene glycol/water systems was investigated. The adjuvant effects were studied in a 60/40 (V/V) propylene glycol/water co-solvent system. The well known drug penetration enhancer dimethyl sulfoxide did not enhance the penetration of benzocaine at any concentration level of DMSO under the conditions of the experiment. This lack of enhancement effect was probably due to increased solubility …

The Synthesis Of Various Substituted 3-Amino-7-Hydroxy-2,2-Dimethyltetralins And Their Opioid-Related Activities, David Alan Lippman

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

A series of aminotetralones and aminotetralins were synthesized from the common intermediate F, 3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-7-methoxy- 1-tetralone. The final compounds derived from F were simple substituted and/or reduced analogues. The products would allow a progressive structure activity relationship to be drawn based on pharmacological testing.

The common intermediate F was synthesized utilizing a six step procedure starting with p-methoxyphenylacetic acid. The overall yield from the precursor to the F:HC1 was 25%. Compound F was either O-demethylated to form 3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-7-hydroxy-l-tetralone (I) or was dimethylated on the amine and subsequently O-demethylated to yield the 3-dimethylamino-7-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-l-tetralone (J). The last major modification was the reduction of …

Exercise And Eating Habit Change In The Treatment Of Obesity, Michael D. Johnson

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

A pretest-posttest control group design was used to compare the effectiveness of a behavioral caloric reduction/exercise increase treatment package with a caloric reduction approach. The participants consisted of 32 people selected from those responding to a community newspaper advertisement announcing the weight control program. The caloric reduction/exercise treatment group focused on energy expenditure methods for reducing weight and improving physical fitness along with procedures for controlling food intake patterns. The caloric reduction group concentrated on procedures for controlling food intake patterns only. The results indicated that weight loss was achieved by both the caloric reduction group and the combined caloric …

The Effects Of Prospective Payment Using Diagnosis Related Groups (Drg) On The Relationship Between Hospitals And Physicians, Thomas K. Vogler

Theses

This study examined the attitudes of physicians and hospital administrations towards the prospective payment system based upon Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs). The study investigated changes in relationships, prior to implementation on a wide-spread basis, between the physicians and hospital administrators.

It was anticipated that the relationship between the physicians and hospital administration would change and that the physicians' attitude towards patient management would be altered. An attempt was made to determine the most appropriate area to monitor the consumption of resources during a patient stay. A survey of the physicians and hospital administration was used to determine present attitudes.

Mechanisms Of Energy Balance In Obesity, Mark R. Mcminn

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

The proper understanding of obesity requires a multifaceted approach. Behavioral considerations of eating and activity patterns do not account for the large between- and within-subjects variance associated with the energy-balance equation. Sources of adaptive and dispositional variance in metabolic rates are reviewed and suggested to be a likely source of importance for the proper conceptualization and intervention of obesity. Five proposed mechanisms of metabolic variation are reviewed with consideration of the supporting evidence for each mechanism. The generalizability of some of the proposed mechanisms is limited because of the scope of past research. However, the roles of lipoprotein lipase in …

Seventy-seven females between the ages of 25 and 50 were selected for participation in this study. An …

The Plight Of The Genetically Handicapped Newborn: A Comparative Analysis, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

Confusion and controversy surround efforts to re-evaluate and, thus, redefine the extent to which governmental intrusion should be allowed in the doctor-patient relationship vis-a-vis the treatment or non treatment of genetically handicapped, at risk infants. The purpose of this article is to present a succinct comparative analysis of the medical-legal posture in Britain and the United States and from this analysis to develop a construct to aid the physician and the family in making decisions concerning the administration or the withholding of treatment for genetically defective newborns.
