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 Effects Of X-Rays And Beta Rays (Tritium) On The Growth Of Rickettsia Mooseri And Rickettsia Akari In Embryonate Eggs, Donald Greiff, E. L. Powers, Walter E. Kisieleski, Henry Pinkerton

Biomedical Sciences Faculty Research and Publications

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 …

Aortic Graft Substitutes; Experimental Use Of Peritoneum, External Oblique Fascia And Inert Polyethelene Film In Bridging Aortic Defects In Dogs., John T. Sullivan Jr.

Master's Essays (1922 - )

Th® basic problem, to which the following pages are devoted, was to determine the feasibility of autogenous peritoneum, external oblique fascia and inert polyethylene film as aortic grafts In doge. Today, the most successful and acceptable graft la homogeneous aorta obtained from Blood Vessel Banks. The thought was entertained that if a substitute for homogeneous aortic grafts could be found, especially if readily available, non-vital, or, if synthetic. Inexpensive and plentiful, a new approach to vascular grafting could be developed, many experimental uses of the ^improbable11 have resulted in clues to new approaches to scientific problems.

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 …

Kymographic Recordings Of Muscle And Nerve Tissue From The Rana Pipiens, Guilbert K. Jones

Bachelors’ Theses

This Thesis is the result of several months of work done in the Physiology Laboratory in the Marquette University School of Medicine. The experiments performed will enable one to become familiar with the general principles involved in the recording of reactions of muscle and nerve tissue by Kymographic methods. Especial attention is directed to the results of these experiments.

Preparation Of A Clear, Light Pharmaceutical Solution Of Sodium Morrhuate, George H. Becker

Bachelors’ Theses

Treatment of varicose veins by the injection method has resulted in diminution of prolonged suffering by many patients. The ideal solution is one that ill cause no sloughing of the tissues immediately surrounding the vein; nontoxic in the amounts used; effective; not too painful and not capable of reducing drug hypersensitivity. Many
drugs have been tried with varying efficacy. Among the more important are, dextrose and sodium chloride mixture, quinine, quine urea hydrochloride, quinine dihydrochloride, quinine and urethane, 30 to 40% sodium salicylate, 20% sodium chloride, and sodium morrhuate. A sclerosing agent, to be most efficient; must destroy the endothelium …
