Inhibition Of Cell Division, Protein Synthesis And Nucleic Acid Synthesis In Escherichia Coli W By Tetracycline Antibiotics, George Henry Miller

Theses and Dissertations

Tetracyclines, originally isolated in the late 1940's and early 1950's from the mycelium of Streptomyces, have achieved major importance as therapeutic and prophylactic agents against a wide range of infections in human and veterinary medicine. They have also achieved great importance in agriculture where they are widely used to promote weight gain in livestock. Commercial production, during 1958 in the United States alone was 120 tons with a value of approximately $1 million per ton.

The clinical importance of these compounds has stimulated efforts to define their mode of action as inhibitors of bacterial reproduction. Antibiotics having as many functional …

Pancreatitis, Franz J. Ingelfinger

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The subject of my lecture requires better definition: I shall talk about pancreatitis and, chiefly, about the diagnosis of the recurrent variety of pancreatitis. How can we recognize the pain of this disease? This pain does tend to be in the upper abdomen, more often on the left than the right, and radiates to the back in about a quarter of the cases. It has, however, no characteristic quality, and the degree of the pain may range from the relatively painless to the excruciating. Most often, its severity is between these two extremes.

The Relation Of The Intestinal Cell Surface To Vitamin B₁₂ Absorption, Robert M. Donaldson Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I have tried to indicate that it is now possible to separate out events occurring at the surface of intestinal absorptive cells. Previous work has shown that intestinal brush borders contain diverse enzymatic activity and that the surface of the intestinal cell is a site for active glucose accumulation. Furthermore, brush border and microvillous membrane preparations now provide direct evidence that intrinsic factor acts at the intestinal cell surface. These studies directly support the concept that a specific receptor for the IF-B₁₂ complex is located on the surface of ileal, but not jejunal absorptive cells. Studies with antibodies against pure …

Pathogenesis Of Hepatic Encephalopathy, Z. Reno Vlahcevic

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Severe parenchymatous diseases of the liver, both acute and chronic, are frequently associated with hepatic encephalopathy. This term is preferable to that of hepatic coma, as it encompasses the whole spectrum of changes from bizarre alterations of behavior to various degrees of disturbance of consciousness, as well as protean neurologic manifestations. In many instances it is a reversible phenomenon, occurring either spontaneously or as the result of various therapeutic agents. The puzzling feature of hepatic encephalopathy is the discrepancy between dramatic clinical features and paucity of histopathological changes in the brain. The only histological changes encountered with regularity in patients …

Potential Applications Of Lasers In Ophthalmology, Walter J. Geeraets

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

The continuing evaluation of laser instrumentation is of particular interest to the ophthalmologist. Several lasers now exhibit potential properties which may result in superior clinical instruments in the future. An important feature of almost all existing lasers, as related to ophthalmology, is the potential hazard of accidental exposure of the eye. This aspect of the laser is certainly as important as its clinical application, and it should be the responsibility of ophthalmologists to work actively to provide recommendations for safety standards and criteria for ocular protection in every field of laser application.

Mechanisms Controlling The Peripheral Circulation Of The Lung With Some Clinical Correlations, Vernon E. Krahl

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Supported by experimental evidence, I have presented the thesis that there is a stasis of blood in alveolar capillaries caused by a generalized constriction of precapillary arteriolar sphincters produced by vagal hyperactivity. This, alone, can be held accountable for every clinical and histopathological feature of the syndrome. Evidence adduced from my own and other studies supports the idea of vagal predominance in PHS. A rational basis for a simple and, hopefully, a generally successful treatment of PHS by anti-vagal agents such as atropine has been outlined.

Relationship Between Fertility And Elevated Cholesterol Levels In Rats, Grimaldo Carvalho

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In previous work with rabbits on high-cholesterol and on high-cholesterol plus triparanol diets, I observed that no offspring were produced, even though the animals were not carefully separated by sex. Consequently, it seemed advisable, as the main purpose, to reexamine the possibility that a diet high in cholesterol, with or without triparanol, might affect reproduction. In this study rats were used instead of rabbits. Since triparanol inhibits the conversion of desmosterol to cholesterol, it seemed advisable to study the effect of triparanol on blood and tissue cholesterol itself. It also seemed of interest to study the distribution of cholesterol in …

New Developments In Hemodialysis For Chronic Renal Failure, Lee W. Henderson

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I am going to speak mainly about extracorporeal hemodialysis, that is, dialysis conducted with an artificial kidney as opposed to peritoneal dialysis. I am going to direct the majority of my comments toward the extraordinary technique of the maintenance of life in patients with chronic renal failure. I would like to break my discussion into three general areas: 1) a review of the historical development of the dialyzer, including some remarks on what happens at the membrane level; 2) a look at the results we are getting with this kind of hardware; 3) and a comment on some of the …

Present-Day Psychiatry, Henry D. Lederer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

As part of the excitement and challenge of our times, psychiatry shares with the rest of human activity a soul-searching, candid questioning of principles and practices and a responsibility for developing new perspectives and patterns of action. During these times when there seems to be a strong swing toward conformity and stereotypy in our society, there is also an intense counteraction—especially in those under 30—of questioning all tradition, respecting no sacred cows. These phenomena lead to heated debates, voices raised in anger, and hot letters to editors; but, through all of the dust raised, I believe we can see encouraging …

Recent Advances In Pediatric Allergy, F. Stanford Massie

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Evidence has been presented to indicate that atopic disease is not limited to man but occurs in subhuman primates. The genetic transmission of allergy may relate to altered membrane permeability or an enzymatic defect, with inability to handle certain N-glycosidic protein-sugar linkages occurring in the atopens of nature. The suggestion that an infectious agent transmits allergic disease has been examined. Finally, in vitro and animal experimental models of anaphylaxis closely akin to atopy and the effects of manipulation of the autonomic nervous system in laboratory animals and man have been discussed.

Clinical Aspects Of Renal Tubular Disorders, William F. Falls Jr.

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

I have tried to briefly outline aspects of the presently recognized disorders of tubular function that are of clinical importance. I would like to stress again that, although such disorders constitute a minute portion of the total health problem in this country, they are of great importance as experiments of nature, study of which is opening the way for a clearer understanding of fundamental transport mechanisms in the renal tubule. Additionally, for those individuals afflicted with any of the disorders I have mentioned, the availability of relief is of paramount importance. Such relief can be obtained in some cases by …

Some Issues In Human Development, Victor C. Vaughan Iii

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In summary, then, there are deeply rooted biological forces upon which we draw unwittingly for attitudes and behavior. There are pressing problems before us, ranging from war and slum riots to the misery and hopelessness of hundreds of thousands of infants and children leading empty and desperate lives in an unproductive way without society ever noticing that something preventable and irrevocable is happening. All of us, as citizens devoted to the healthiest kind of childhood and adulthood for our children, know that this represents an appalling tragedy for the individual. Multiplied by the hundreds of millions, it may represent a …
