Measurement Of Permeability Of The Cell Membrane To Water, Richard Moore, Frederick Thornburgh, Donggyu Jin
Measurement Of Permeability Of The Cell Membrane To Water, Richard Moore, Frederick Thornburgh, Donggyu Jin
Journal of the Minnesota Academy of Science
The water permeability was measured for blood cells from normal subjects and for blood cells from patients with leukemia. The method of measurement of the kinetics of water influx employed a stopped flow apparatus. The method of calculation of results was based on irreversible thermodynamics. The measurements and calculations were both performed with the assistance of a computer. The water permeability of the leukemic cells was decreased from normal, and the values were more variable than normal. Leukemia changes the structure of the cell membrane.

Stereospecific Opiate Binding In Human Erythrocyte Membranes And Changes In Heroin Addicts, Leo G. Abood, Holly G. Atkinson, Mary Macneil
Publications and Research
Stereospecific opiate binding has been demonstrated in human erythrocyte membranes, having a Kd of 9-10(-9) M. In most respects the binding characteristics resemble those of synaptic membranes. These included the correlation of binding affinity and pharmacological potency of opiates; competition by naloxone; inhibition by Ca2+ and Na+; and sensitivity to phospholipases and trypsin. A comparison of stereospecific opiate binding in control human subjects and heroin addicts revealed a 43% increase in the addict group.

Anatomical And Phenological Variation Of Liquidambar Styraciflua L. Under Controlled Environmental Conditions, William Randel
Anatomical And Phenological Variation Of Liquidambar Styraciflua L. Under Controlled Environmental Conditions, William Randel
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
A large degree of variation in fiber tracheid length, vood specific gravity, and time of apical bud formation existed vithin two populations of Liquidambar styraciflua L. from south central Kentucky. The variation exhibited by these populations may be attributed to the self-sterility of Liquidaribar and the variable environment of south central Kentucky. Variation of fiber tracheid length and wood specific gravity within the two populations was significant. Fiber tracheid length was dependent on temperature and photoperiod while wood specific gravity was primarily dependent on temperature. A significant level of variation was also evident between the two populations regarding tracheid length. …
The Relationship Of Alcohol Consumption In Rats To Morphine And Codeine Intake And The Metabolism Of Dopamine, Hsiu Fen Liu
The Relationship Of Alcohol Consumption In Rats To Morphine And Codeine Intake And The Metabolism Of Dopamine, Hsiu Fen Liu
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The effects of morphine and codeine free-choice alcohol consumption in male Sprague-Dawley rats were studied. Intakes of a 10% alcohol solution in milliliters per 100 gm. of body weight were on recorded weekly. No difference was found in the alcohol intake of rats given either a morphine-supplemented diet (0.01% of the diet) or daily injection of morphine sulfate (2 mg./kg.); however, there was a significant lower intake of water (p < .05) in those rats fed the diet with morphine. Total fluid consumption of both groups given the morphine-supplemented diet and daily injection of morphine sulfate was decreased (p < .05). It was found that morphine did not affect the percentage of total fluid consumed as alcohol or the weight gain.
Two levels of codeine phosphate (10 mg./kg. and 20 mg./kg.) were injected subcutaneously into rats twice a day. It was observed that the codeine significantly decreased alcohol intake in rats …

Regulation Of The Secondary Antibody Response In Vitro. Ii. Chemical Properties Of An Antibody Inhibitory Material (Aim) Produced In Antigen-Stimulated Rabbit Lymph Node Organ Culture, Charles T. Ambrose
Charles T. Ambrose
We have previously described an inhibitor of antibody synthesis found in serum-free medium of rabbit lymph node organ cultures undergoing a secondary response (1). This present paper concerns some chemical properties of this antibody inhibitory material (AIM), 1 notably its sensitivity to ribonuclease. The implications of this latter observation on the isolation of AIM are explored. Other experiments described here indicate that the inhibition of antibody synthesis by AIM is reversible and most pronounced during the productive phase in vitro. Crucial to these studies has been the preparation of media and the recognition of spurious inhibitory effects, particularly those relating …

Dental extractions were completed on ten patients under an anesthetic technique utilizing Innovar and methohexital with supplemental nasal oxygen. Blood gas samples were drawn at five stages during the procedure.
The mean of the PaO2 samples drawn with the patient at the point of deepest sedation was approximately three times the normal value.
Oxygen for pulmonary ventilation provides a reservoir in the lungs, saturation of hemoglobin, and increased oxygen in the plasma which provides a margin of safety if …
The Effect Of Glucose On The Food Intake Of Goldthioglucose Injected Mice, Janet Lahti
The Effect Of Glucose On The Food Intake Of Goldthioglucose Injected Mice, Janet Lahti
Dissertations and Theses
Jean Mayer has postulated the presence of glucoreceptors located primarily in the ventromedial hypothalamic nuclei of the brain which are activated by glucose in the measure that they utilize it. According to Mayer, hunger occurs when glucose is not available for metabolic purposes and satiation supervenes when glucose is made available. Control of this mechanism rests with the glucoreceptors. These receptors are believed to be destroyed when an injection of the compound goldthioglucose is given to mice. These animals subsequently become obese and are found to have gold deposits and lesions in the ventromedial area and also in other parts …
Mathematical Model Of Placental Oxygen And Carbon Dioxide Exchange, Ester P. Hill
Mathematical Model Of Placental Oxygen And Carbon Dioxide Exchange, Ester P. Hill
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
This model of placental CO2 and O2 exchange calculates the time course of changes in PCO2, [HCO3-], and [H+] in each of four "compartments" of placental exchange vessels: maternal erythrocytes, maternal plasma, fetal plasma and fetal erythrocytes. The changes in hemoglobin-bound CO2 (carbamate) and oxyhemoglobin contents within the erythrocytes are also calculated, permitting consideration of the Haldane and Bohr effects. Equations were written to represent one-dimensional steady state CO2 and O2 diffusion between concurrent maternal and fetal capillaries and the subsequent hydration, carbamino and oxyhemoglobin reactions. The equations …
Effect Of Lateral Positioning On Central Venous Pressure, Romelda C. Jereos
Effect Of Lateral Positioning On Central Venous Pressure, Romelda C. Jereos
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
This experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of lateral positioning on central venous pressure. It was hypothesized that lateral positioning would not significantly change the central venous pressure so long as the subjects were placed on the same horizontal plane for both supine and lateral measurements. It was also hypothesized that the length of time spent in the lateral position would not alter the pressure.
It is recognized that several factors do indeed play important roles in the maintenance of central venous pressure. The effect of one particular influencing factor, gravity, was central to this study. The difference …
