13. Furrier's lung
As is known, the inhalation of animal hairs can provoke immunological reactions in the respiratory tract affecting the naso-tracheo-bronchial sector and giving rise to asthma-like syndromes. Another form of disease, found in furriers with long exposure to `hair dust', is described. It is characterized by a granulomatous interstitial pneumonia, of the tubercu

14. Inoculation of barrier-born pigs with Helicobacter pylori: a useful animal model for gastritis type B.
At the age of 8 weeks, 15 barrier-born pigs, specific pathogen free, were inoculated intragastrically with suspensions of 10(7) to 10(10) CFU of Helicobacter pylori after pretreatment with omeprazole. The pigs were observed for up to 12 weeks, endoscopic biopsy specimens were taken, and serum samples were drawn. H. pylori was identified by routine culturing

15. Loss of 5-hydroxytryptamine from mammalian circulating labelled platelets
1. Platelets were obtained from three species of animal: rats, rabbits and dogs. They were labelled with 111In oxine to tag individual platelets and with 14C-labelled 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). Doubly labelled platelets from rabbits and dogs were returned to their donors; in the case of rats the platelets were injected intravenously into other, identical ra

16. A follow-up to "Anti-cytokine therapy in chronic destructive arthritis" by Wim B van den Berg
In recent years, the effectiveness of anti-TNF therapy in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has become apparent. While trials of IL-1 receptor antagonist in RA have been encouraging, it clearly is more difficult to target two molecules (IL-1 α and β) than one (TNF-α). In his review article, Professor Wim van den Berg argues that both TNF-α and IL-1 must

17. Establishment of an animal–bacterial association: Recruiting symbiotic vibrios from the environment
While most animal–bacterial symbioses are reestablished each successive generation, the mechanisms by which the host and its potential microbial partners ensure tissue colonization remain largely undescribed. We used the model association between the squid Euprymna scolopes and Vibrio fischeri to examine this process. This light organ symbiosis is initiate

18. Helicobacter pylori Infection in an Urban African Population
We have studied 221 adults drawn from an impoverished urban population with high human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seroprevalence (35%) to determine the prevalence of gastroduodenal pathology and its relationship to serological markers of Helicobacter pylori virulence proteins and other potential environmental and immunological determinants of disease inclu

19. Pentose pathway in human liver.
[1-14C]Ribose and [2-14C]glucose were given to normal subjects along with glucose loads (1 g per kg of body weight) after administration of diflunisal and acetaminophen, drugs that are excreted in urine as glucuronides. Distributions of 14C were determined in the carbons of the excreted glucuronides and in the glucose from blood samples drawn from hepatic ve

20. Selenium and immune functions in humans.
Earlier animal experiments have shown that selenium depletion may decrease immune functions. In this human study, 40 volunteers from a population with low serum selenium concentrations were supplemented with selenium or placebo for 11 weeks. Blood samples were drawn at intervals for analysis of selenium status and immune function. At the end of the supplemen

21. Evaluation of Possible Correlations between Antifungal Susceptibilities of Filamentous Fungi In Vitro and Antifungal Treatment Outcomes in Animal Infection Models
Nine isolates of filamentous fungi previously tested in 11 different laboratories for their susceptibilities to amphotericin B and itraconazole in vitro were injected intravenously into mice and guinea pigs, and responses to treatment with both agents were studied. The experiments were done in a single laboratory. Mean survival times, the percentages of anim

22. Discordance between Bovine Leukemia Virus Tax Immortalization In Vitro and Oncogenicity In Vivo
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) Tax protein, a transcriptional activator of viral expression, is essential for viral replication in vivo. Tax is believed to be involved in leukemogenesis because of its second function, immortalization of primary cells in vitro. These activities of Tax can be dissociated on the basis of point mutations within specific regions of

23. Study of Animal-Borne Infections in the Mucosas of Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Population-Based Controls
Crohn's disease may be triggered by an infection, and it is plausible to consider that such an infection may be animal borne and ingested with our food. There has been considerable interest in the past in determining whether Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (M. avium) might be the etiologic agent in Crohn's disease since it causes a disease in cat

24. Electromyographic Responses From the Hindlimb Muscles of the Decerebrate Cat to Horizontal Support Surface Perturbations
The sensory and neural mechanisms underlying postural control have received much attention in recent decades but remain poorly understood. Our objectives were 1) to establish the decerebrate cat as an appropriate model for further research into the sensory mechanisms of postural control and 2) to observe what elements of the postural response can be generate
