Production Of Shigella Dysenteriae Type 1-Like Cytotoxin By Escherichia Coli, Alison D. O'Brien, Gerald D. Laveck, Michael R. Thompson, Samuel B. Formal

Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

Strains of Escherichia coli previously implicated or proven to be causes of diarrhea were examined for production of a toxin similar to that of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 (Shiga). Organisms grown in an iron-depleted broth were lysed by pressure disruption followed by ultracentrifugation. Saline-dialyzed extracts were tested for cytotoxic effects on HeLa cells that were neutralizable with antiserum to Shiga toxin. Among the 13 E. coli strains so analyzed, 11 made a Shiga-like cytotoxin in levels ranging from trace (two avirulent isolates) to amounts equivalent to S. dysenteriae type 1 (two noninvasive strains that did not make E. coli heat-labile …

Intrusions Of A Parvenu: Science, Religion, And The New Biology, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

Both religion and the law must seriously consider artificial insemination so that dogma and laws are formed to incorporate the process. Science has brought the procedure to a society unequipped to deal with the religious and legal implications of birth through artificial insemination in any of its forms. Not all religions or jurisdictions can be expected to treat the process exactly alike, but there must be an effort on the part of each organization to react to the situation facing them so that their citizens will have some guidance.

Section II of this article illuminates the path science is on …

The Relationship Between Socioeconomic Factors, Attitudes, And The Frequency Of Pap Smears Of Female Patients In A Rural Health Care Center, Kathy Ann Barnes

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Fifty-seven women over the age of 16, seeking care at a rural health center, completed questionnaires concerning demographic factors and health beliefs and attitudes. Correlation coefficients and Z scores were computed for the variables. There was significant positive correlation in both demographic and health belief and attitude areas. Discussed also are factors possibly contributing to the test results, as well as alternative research models.

Immunological Approaches To The Diagnosis Of Systemic Candidiasis, Gene Elizabeth Burges

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

The increasing incidence of systemic candidiasis and the difficulties diagnosing the disease on the basis of clinical data and culture results have prompted investigation into immunological methods of diagnosis. Detection of anti-Candida antibodies has proved to be not sufficiently specific for diagnosis of systemic disease since antibodies are frequently found in the normal individual in whom the organism lives as a commensal and in superficially infected individuals. Our project resulted in the development of a new quantitative immunofluorescence assay for quantitation of anti-Candida antibodies which is able to differentiate quite well (p< 0.0005) between systemically infected patients and normals or superficially infected patients. We have also investigated the value of purified antigens and have shown that the use of cytoplasmic protein antigens rather than those containing cell wall polysaccharide confers greater specificity on a qualitative test for anti-Candida antibodies but that a carbohydrate-containing antigen is adequate for differentiating systemic disease when a quantitative test is used. Attempts to diagnose systemic candidiasis by detection of circulating antigen have met with varying degrees of success. We were unable to detect antigen by counter-immunoelectrophoresis, a quantitative immunofluorescence inhibition assay, or an ELISA inhibition assay in the sera of rabbits in whom a Candida endocarditis was induced or in the sera of systemically infected patients. One postulated reason for this failure is the presence of the antigen in the form of circulating immune complexes. We have, therefore, investigated the possibility of the existence of complexes containing Candida antigen and antibody in the sera of patients with systemic candidiasis. Using four screening tests, a statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) was found for immune complex levels in a group of patients and a group of normal individuals. Isolation and characterization of immune complex-containing fractions from five patients with candidiasis indicated the presence of anti-Candida antibodies and/or antigen in at least three of them. Therefore, these fungal immune complexes can be assumed to exist and may play a role in the difficulties in detecting circulating antigen and, furthermore, may be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of disseminated candidiasis.

Argt Caused By Toxic Antibiodies : Research Report, P Vogel

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

A fortunate coincidence, discovered recently, has provided annual ryegrass toxicity researchers with valuable knowledge which may help them understand how the ARGT toxins affect animals, and further their investigations into vaccine development. A toxic antibiotic, identified years ago, has proved to be closely related to the ARGT toxins. Antibiotics are generally regarded as effective agents for the control of many bacterial and fungal infections. However, some of them are toxic to both the bacteria and the host, whether man or animal.

Leptospirosis : A Disease Of Animals And Man, G M. Robertson

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Leptospirosis is best known in Western Australia as an insidious cause of abortion in pigs and cattle. Less well known is the fact that leptospirosis can occur in any warm blooded animal, including man, and that farmers, meat workers and veterinarians frequently risk infection. The disease is difficult to diagnose but research in the Microbiology Section of the Department of Agriculture's Animal Health Laboratory has resulted in the development of a new test which overcomes some of these difficulties

Modulation Of Membrane Fusion By Calcium-Binding Proteins, K. Hong, Nejat Düzgüneş, Demetrios Papahadjopoulos

All Dugoni School of Dentistry Faculty Articles

The effects of several Ca2+-binding proteins (calmodulin, prothrombin, and synexin) on the kinetics of Ca2+-induced membrane fusion were examined. Membrane fusion was assayed by following the mixing of aqueous contents of phospholipid vesicles. Calmodulin inhibited slightly the fusion of phospholipid vesicles. Bovine prothrombin and its proteolytic fragment 1 had a strong inhibitory effect on fusion. Depending on the phospholipid composition, synexin could either facilitate or inhibit Ca2+-induced fusion of vesicles. The effects of synexin were Ca2+ specific. 10 microM Ca2+ was sufficient to induce fusion of vesicles composed of phosphatidic acid/phosphatidylethanolamine (1:3) in the presence of synexin and 1 mM …

The Promise Of Abundant Life: Patenting A Magnificent Obsession, George P. Smith Ii

Scholarly Articles

The purpose of this essay will be to explore the parameters of the scientific imperative to explore truth. The scope of this inquiry is shaped in part by the United States patent laws and administrative interpretations and, more specifically, by the United States Supreme Court in its recent holding allowing the new forms of life created in a laboratory to be patented. The ultimate purpose of this piece, then, is to refute the arrogance of power theory expressed as being implicit in the investigations of the vast potential for the positive achievement of good through harnessing the "New Biology." Thus, …

The Protective Role Of Superoxide Dismutase Against The Beta Cell Toxicity Of Diabetogenic Drugs, Samuel Evans Gandy Iii

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is a scavenger of the toxic superoxide radical and thereby protects the integrity of cell components from oxidative damage. This enzyme is an essential part of the biological defense system of aerobic cells, both directly by removing the superoxide anion and indirectly by preventing the formation of hydroxyl radical when superoxide reacts with hydrogen peroxide. The chemical diabetogenic agent streptozotocin, alloxan and Vacor are reported to directly inhibit the activity of this enzyme. The role of SOD in protection of pancreatic beta cells from the toxicity of diabetogenic drugs and the interaction of the drug with enzyme …

Health Risk Appraisal And Health Promotion Behavior In Young Adults, Diane L. Hanna

Theses and Dissertations

Health Risk Appriaisal (HRA) is gaining widespread popularity as a health promotion strategy. Yet there are limited studies to date to assess the impact of HRA on health behavior, particularly among young populations. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effectiveness of individual HRA results as a stimulus for young adults to pursue health promoting behavior. It was hypothesized that young adults exposed to the results of their personal HRA would demonstrate a significantly higher health habits change score than would young adults given the HRA, but not exposed to its results.

Menstrual Cycle Effects On Blood Pressure, Body Weight And Heart Rates During Rest, Exercise And Recovery On College Athletes, Dawn J. Shutter

Masters Theses

Ten members of the Eastern Illinois University women's track team were used as subjects to determine the relationship of body weight, blood pressure and heart rate during rest, exercise and recovery to menstruation.

The subjects were tested on two different occasions. The first test was administered within twenty-four hours of the onset of menstruation. The second test was conducted seven days later. During both testing periods blood pressure, body weight and resting heart rate measurements were taken before beginning the treadmill protocol (progressive grade and speed increases up to 4% and 8 mph, respectively). The subjects ran on a motor …
