Alcaptonuria And Ochronosis With Diabetes Mellitus And Mycosis Fungoides: A Case Report, Jamshed U. Haq, Roy B. Patton

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A Negro woman with alcaptonuria, ochronosis, ochronotic arthropathy, diabetes mellitus and mycosis fungoides died of acute renal failure due to diabetic glomerulonephropathy and ochronotic nephrosis. The role of the renal lesions of ochronosis is presented in potentiating the effect of an underlying renal disease producing rapidly progressive kidney failure. The occurrence of ochronosis, diabetes mellitus and mycosis fungoides is apparently coincidental only. Special stains of tissue sections confirm the similarity of melanin and ochronotlc pigment.

Cation Transport I. Metabolic Activity Of The Polyphosphoinositide Complex In Isolated Renal Cortex Tubules, Paul Bartlett, James F. Bossart

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Although several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the transport of hydrophylilc cations across lipoprotein barriers, the nature and identity of the carrier mechanism have not yet been elucidated. The present communication is concerned with a mechanism postulating that monoesterified phosphate on the inositol moiety of phosphatidyl inositol might provide anionic sites that function as cation carriers via a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation cycle, catalyzed in its simplest sequence by phosphatidyl inositol kinase and diphosphoinositide phosphomonoesterase activities. In this context, one might reasonably expect that turnover of monoesterified phosphate in the polyphosphoinositides of isolated renal cortex tubules would be reduced in tubules in …

The Mechanism Of Formation Of Certain Ventricular Septal Defects: A New Hypothesis, Jami G. Shakibi, Lester Weiss

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

The generally accepted and most common mechanism of the pathogenesis of VSD is the failure of fusion of the conus ridges, atrioventricular cushions and the ventricular muscular septum. Our findings in a study of serial sections of the hearts of newborn gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) leads us to hypothesize a second, less common, mechanism for the development of VSD, i.e., an exaggeration of the normal process of resorption and atrophy which undermines the septal cusp of the tricuspid valve, thus separating it from the muscular septum. This hypothesis can explain an instance of high membranous VSD in the form of a …

Evaluation Of Cellular-Level Haversian Bone Resorption In Human Hyperparathyroid States: A Preliminary Report, H. M. Frost, A. R. Villanueva, Z. F. Jaworski, P. Meunier, A. G. Shimizu

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Cellular-level bone resorption was evaluated in 16 patients undergoing renal dialysis and in two with primary hyperparathyroidism, by quantitative histological means using tissue time markers. When averaged over periods greater than two weeks, the individual osteoclasts in these patients resorbed less bone in unit time than normal.

Promethazine-Chlorpromazine Combination In The Treatment Of Unmanageable Psychotic Patients, Armando R. Favazza

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Administering a combination of promethazine and chlorpromazine to patients with a "galloping psychosis" has an antipsychotic and tranquilizing effect which calms them down to a more manageable and less aggressive state. The drugs are chemically similar; promethazine's actions are strongly potentiated in the combination, so large doses must be given under careful supervision. Case histories demonstrate successful short term management of acutely psychotic, aggressive patients who were a danger to themselves and others.

Pneumatosis Cystoides Intestinalis: The Report Of A Case Associated With Severe Pulmonary Disease And Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, Russell J. Crider, Philip Bentlif

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is discussed with emphasis on its clinical, radiologic, sigmoidoscopic, surgical and pathological characteristics. The four theories of the etiology of P.Cl. are neoplastic, infectious, nutritional, and mechanical. These theories are discussed, and a case of P.C.I, associated with severe pulmonary disease and chronic lymphocytic leukemia is presented to lend support to the mechanical theory.

The Prevalence Rate Of Congenital Heart Disease In Newborn Gerbils (Meriones Unguiculatus): A Preliminary Report, Jami G. Shakibi, Lester Weiss

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

A preliminary report on the prevalence rate of congenital heart disease in newborn gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus) is presented. Serial sections of the entire heart of 100 liveborn gerbils were studied. The prevalence rate of congenital heart disease was 4%. Ventricular septal defect was the most frequent lesion. This is in agreement with previous reports on rats.

Photographic Features Of Benign And Malignant Ulcers, N. V. Carandang, B. M. Schuman, R. J. Priest

Henry Ford Hospital Medical Journal

One hundred and twenty-nine cases of benign gastric ulcer and 17 cases of malignant gastric ulcer studied by intragastric photography are reviewed. The benign ulcer, characterized by symmetrical contour and smooth base, was diagnosed correctly on the initial photographic study in 97.7% of cases. Malignant ulcers were diagnosed correctly in 59% of cases on the first study. The importance of color photography to complement roentgenographic evaluation of gastric ulceration is emphasized.

The Purification, Properties And Subunit Structure Of Glycerol Dehydrogenase, Michael James Barrett

Theses and Dissertations (ETD)

The inducible, NAD-linked glycerol dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.6) of a guanine requiring mutant of A. aerogenes has been purified to homogeneity. The molecular weight of the pure enzyme was found to be 3.4 x 10⁵ daltons. The sedimentation coefficient of the enzyme was 10.7 x 10^-13 sec.^-1. The diffusion constant was 3.07 x 10^-7 cm²/sec.

The partial specific volume calculated from the amino acid composition was 0.72 ml/g. The following kinetic parameters were determined; K_m glycerol, 2.4 x 10^-3 m, K_m NAD, 2.8 x 10^-4 M, K_m dihydroxyacetone, 5.1 …

Transferable Drug Resistance Among Enterobacteriaceae Isolated From Cases Of Neonatal Diarrhea In Calves And Piglets, David P. Aden, Norman D. Reed, Norman R. Underdaul, Charles A. Mebus

School of Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences: Faculty Publications

Fecal specimens were collected on 22 different Nebraska ranches and at the Department of Veterinary Science from young calves and pigs with neonatal diarrhea. Enterobacteriaceae isolated from these fecal specimens were screened for resistance to tetracycline, streptomycin, sulfamethizole, kanamycin, chloramphenicol, colistin, nitrofurantoin, and nalidixic acid. Of the 92 strains studied, 57 were resistant to one or more of these antimicrobial agents. Resistant strains were obtained from all herds involved in the study. The two most common resistance patterns were tetracycline streptomycin sulfamethizole (22 of 57) and tetracycline (13 of 57). None of the strains were resistant to chloramphenicol, colistin, nitrofurantoin, …
