Evidence For A Second Type Of Fibril Branch Point In Fibrin Polymer Networks, The Trimolecular Junction, Michael W. Mosesson, James P. Diorio, Kevin R. Siebenlist, Joseph S. Wall, James F. Hainfeld
Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
Fibrin molecules polymerize to double-stranded fibrils by intermolecular end-to-middle domain pairing of complementary polymerization sites, accompanied by fibril branching to form a clot network. Mass/length measurements on scanning transmission electron microscopic images of fibrils comprising branch points showed two types of junctions. Tetramolecular junctions occur when two fibrils converge, creating a third branch with twice the mass/length of its constituents. Newly recognized trimolecular junctions have three fibril branches of equal mass/length, and occur when an extraneous fibrin molecule initiates branching in a propagating fibril by bridging across two unpaired complementary polymerization sites. When trimolecular junctions predominate, clots exhibit nearly perfect …

Multiple factors affect the thrombin-catalyzed conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, including: fibrinopeptide (FPA and FPB) release leading to exposure of two types of polymerization domains (“A” and “B,” respectively) in the central portion of the molecule, and exposure of a noncatalytic “secondary” thrombin-binding site in fibrin. Fibrinogen containing the FPA sequence but lacking the Bβ 1-42 sequence (“des-(Bβ 1-42)-fibrinogen”), was compared to native fibrinogen (containing both FPA and FPB) to investigate the role played by Bβ 1-42 in the polymerization of α-fibrin (i.e. fibrin lacking FPA), to compare reptilase and thrombin cleavage of FPA from fibrinogen, and …

Fibrinogen was isolated from the plasma of a 25-year-old female with a history of mild bleeding and several recent moderate to severe hemorrhagic episodes. Coagulability with thrombin approached 100% and varied directly with the time of incubation with the enzyme. High- performance liquid chromatography analysis of thrombin-induced fibrinopeptide release demonstrated retarded fibrinopeptide A (FPA) and fibrinopeptide B (FPB) release and the presence of an abnormal A peptide (FPA) amounting to 50% of the total. The same biochemical abnormalities were found in her asymptomatic father. Amino acid analysis and carboxypeptidase digestion of FPA demonstrated the substitution of His for Arg at …

Release of fibrinopeptide B from fibrinogen by copperhead venom procoagulant enzyme results in a form of fibrin (beta-fibrin) with weaker self-aggregation characteristics than the normal product (alpha beta-fibrin) produced by release of fibrinopeptides A (FPA) and B (FPB) by thrombin. We investigated the ultrastructure of these two types of fibrin as well as that of beta-fibrin prepared from fibrinogen Metz (A alpha 16 Arg----Cys), a homozygous dysfibrinogenemic mutant that does not release FPA. At 14 degrees C and physiologic solvent conditions (0.15 mol/L of NaCl, 0.015 mol/L of Tris buffer pH 7.4), the turbidity (350 nm) of rapidly polymerizing alpha …

Increased Metabolic Rate In X-Linked Hypophosphatemic Mice, Linda K. Vaughn, Ralph A. Meyer, M. H. Meyer
Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
Hyp mice are a model for human X-linked hypophosphatemia, the most common form of vitamin D-resistant rickets. It has previously been observed that Hyp mice have a greater food consumption per gram body weight than do normal mice. This led to the search for some alteration in metabolism in Hyp mice. We found that oxygen consumption was significantly higher in Hyp mice than in normal C57BL/6J mice and this was accompanied by an increased percentage of cardiac output being delivered to organs of heat production (liver and skeletal muscle), to the skin, and to bone and a decreased percentage to …
The Effects Of Triethyltin Bromide On Red Cell And Brain Cyclic Amp-Dependent Protein Kinases, Kevin R. Siebenlist, Fumito Taketa
The Effects Of Triethyltin Bromide On Red Cell And Brain Cyclic Amp-Dependent Protein Kinases, Kevin R. Siebenlist, Fumito Taketa
Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
Triethyltin bromide activates the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases of human red cell membranes and of bovine brain. Additions of 25-500 microM triethyltin to red cell ghosts resulted in enhanced phosphorylation of ghost proteins. When added to partially purified cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinases from red cell ghosts or bovine brain, stimulation of the phosphorylation of calf thymus histone was observed. The enhancement of kinase activity was due to release of catalytic subunits from the intact protein kinase. Brief exposure of the partially purified enzymes to triethyltin, followed by DE52 chromatography, resulted in elution profiles for regulatory and catalytic subunits that were …
Antibiotic Susceptibility Of Black-Pigmented Bacteroides Isolates From The Human Oral Cavity, Linda Jean Laatsch, Paul R. Hohenfeldt, William L. Kos
Antibiotic Susceptibility Of Black-Pigmented Bacteroides Isolates From The Human Oral Cavity, Linda Jean Laatsch, Paul R. Hohenfeldt, William L. Kos
Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
The minimal inhibitory concentrations of penicillin and six other antibiotics were determined for 66 oral black-pigmented Bacteroides isolates by using the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards proposed standard agar dilution technique. These results plus iodometric determination of β-lactamase activity showed that oral isolates of black-pigmented Bacteroides are remaining relatively susceptible to commonly used antibiotics.
The Esophageal Propulsive Force: Esophageal Response To Acute Obstruction, Daniel H. Winship, F. Frank Zboralske
The Esophageal Propulsive Force: Esophageal Response To Acute Obstruction, Daniel H. Winship, F. Frank Zboralske
Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
The response of the normal human esophagus to an obstructing intraluminal bolus was investigated and compared to the response evoked by transient intraluminal distention. A balloon, immobilized within the esophagus by external attachment to a force transducer, was inflated with from 3 to 25 ml of air for from 3 to 210 sec. Pressure phenomena occurring in the esophagus were simultaneously recorded from the body of the esophagus above and below the balloon.
Transient distention (5 sec or less) with small volumes (5 ml or less) often evoked a secondary peristaltic wave in the esophagus distal to the balloon, but …
Studies Of The Mechanism By Which Chronic Metabolic Acidosis Augments Urinary Calcium Excretion In Man, Jacob Lemann Jr., John R. Litzow, Edward J. Lennon
Studies Of The Mechanism By Which Chronic Metabolic Acidosis Augments Urinary Calcium Excretion In Man, Jacob Lemann Jr., John R. Litzow, Edward J. Lennon
Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
We carried out clearance studies in nine healthy adults and four patients with hypoparathyroidism before and after inducing stable metabolic acidosis with either NH4Cl or acetazolamide. Clearances were repeated in seven normal subjects and three of the patients 3 days after stopping these agents.
During acidosis in the normal subjects, serum ultrafilterable calcium concentration rose significantly, but inulin clearance fell to a greater extent, so that the calculated filtered load of calcium fell significantly. Despite this, urinary calcium excretion rose. Urinary calcium excretion remained elevated in the recovery studies when the serum ultrafilterable calcium concentration and filtered load …
The Effect Of Treatment Of Acidosis On Calcium Balance In Patients With Chronic Azotemic Renal Disease, John R. Litzow, Jacob Lemann Jr., Edward J. Lennon
The Effect Of Treatment Of Acidosis On Calcium Balance In Patients With Chronic Azotemic Renal Disease, John R. Litzow, Jacob Lemann Jr., Edward J. Lennon
Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
Small but statistically significant negative calcium balances were found in each of eight studies in seven patients with chronic azotemic renal disease when stable metabolic acidosis was present. Only small quantities of calcium were excreted in the urine, but fecal calcium excretion equaled or exceeded dietary intake. Complete and continuous correction of acidosis by NaHCO3 therapy reduced both urinary and fecal calcium excretion and produced a daily calcium balance indistinguishable from zero.
Apparent acid retention was found throughout the studies during acidosis, despite no further reduction of the serum bicarbonate concentration. The negative calcium balances that accompanied acid retention …

The Level Of Lactic Dehydrogenase Activity As An Indicator Of The Growth Of Influenza Virus In The Embryonate Egg, Richard Kelly, Donald Greiff
The Level Of Lactic Dehydrogenase Activity As An Indicator Of The Growth Of Influenza Virus In The Embryonate Egg, Richard Kelly, Donald Greiff
Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
The relation, between time and the levels of lactic dehydrogenase activity of chorioallantoic fluids from embryonate eggs infected with the PR8 strain of influenza virus were determined quantitatively. The mean values, based on 10 determinations for each time interval, followed a sigmoid curve, with the greatest rates of change occurring between 48 and 72 hours after the inoculation of virus. The activities of the fluids from infected eggs at the 72nd hour or later were approximately 18 times higher than those from non-infected eggs. Based on the data above, a qualitative test for the presence of infection with influenza virus …
The Assay And Properties Of Labile Factor (Factor V), Armand J. Quick
The Assay And Properties Of Labile Factor (Factor V), Armand J. Quick
Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
Human oxalated plasma stored at 4° C. until the prothrombin time is increased beyond 60 sec. is a reliable medium for assaying labile factor (factor V) because its response to added labile factor corresponds quantitatively to that of plasma from patients with congenital deficiency of this factor. Such an agreement is not obtained with plasma stored at 37°C. The stability of labile factor is closely associated with ionized calcium. The addition of thrombin to fresh oxalated plasma causes an apparent hyperactivity of labile factor, but this is completely removed by adsorption with Ca3(PO)2. Oxalated plasma when …

The growth of Rickettsia mooseri was accelerated and quantitatively increased in embryonate eggs containing tritium oxide at levels of 180, 90, and 45 mc./egg during the growth period. The eggs of a group containing 22.5 mc./egg showed only a slight increase in the rate of growth of organisms; the infections in the eggs of a group given 11.2 mc./egg did not differ significantly from those of the control group. On the other hand, growth of R. akari was inhibited in embryonate eggs containing tritium oxide at levels of 180, 90, and 45 mc./egg, and partially inhibited in groups containing 22.5 …

The Chemical State Of The Calcium Reacting In The Coagulation Of Blood, Armand J. Quick, Mario Stefanini
Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications
1. The widely accepted theory that calcium participates in the coagulation mechanism in the form of Ca++ and acts as a catalyst is not in accord with several important experimental findings:
(a) The anticoagulant action of sodium oxalate is much slower than the precipitation of ionized calcium as the oxalate salt.
(b) Sodium citrate begins to depress prothrombin activity at a concentration at which ionized calcium is still present. The inability of tricalcium phosphate to adsorb prothrombin from citrated plasma indicates that citrate forms a complex with prothrombin and it is postulated that prothrombin is …
