Changes in motor function were assessed in male rats after injecting graded doses (100, 200, 400, and 800 mg/kg, IP) of ammonium chloride and ammonium acetate. The effects were correlated with the concentrations of ammonia and glucose in the brain and blood. Spontaneous motor activity and motor coordination were inhibited after injecting 100 and 200 mg/kg, whereas with 400 and 800 mg/kg the animals exhibited convulsive movements. A dose-dependent increase was found in the concentrations of ammonia and glucose in both blood and brain. These were restored, 25 min after treatment, to control levels in the blood and not in the brain. A correlation was found between the time courses of inhibitory motor events and a rise in brain ammonia levels. Convulsant action of ammonium salts was accompanied by a marked elevation of ammonia and glucose concentration in the brain. The findings suggest that detoxication of diffused ammonia is a rate-limiting process in the brain and that ammonia, at toxic concentrations, decreases glucose utilization in the brain, resulting in an inhibition of motor function. A very high concentration of ammonia in the brain, although inhibiting glucose utilization, produces clonic convulsions probably by activating directly the motor neurons. 相似文献

An agar dilution technique and the 'E' test were used to compare the antimicrobial activities of ticarcillin, ticarcillin-clavulanate, ampicillin, ampicillin-sulbactam, piperacillin, piperacillin-tazobactam, meropenem, biapenem, imipenem, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ceftazidime and cefepime against 97 clinical isolates of Xanthomonas maltophilia. Intermediate susceptibility breakpoints for members of the family Enterobacteriaceae were used. Results were analysed as minimum inhibitory concentrations for 50 and 90% of the strains tested and as percentages of strains susceptible at the breakpoint. Good correlation between the two techniques was observed, with ticarcillin-clavulanate clearly the most active agent by both methods with 64 to 66% followed by levofloxacin with 63 to 65% of the strains being susceptible. Biapenem and imipenem showed weak activity with none of the strains being susceptible. Ceftazidime had better activity than cefepime when they were compared by the two methods. There was no significant difference in the results between the two susceptibility techniques used. 相似文献

The resistance pattern of 221 (89 bovine, 132 porcine) pasteurella strains isolated in 1996 against 16 antibiotics or chemotherapeutics was determined by agar diffusion. Pasteurella haemolytica showed a higher level of resistance compared to Pasteurella multocida; porcine strains were more resistant than bovine strains. Over 90% of porcine Pasteurella multocida were sensible to penicillin G, ampicillin, cephalothin, polymyxin B, enrofloxacin, chloramphenicol and florfenicol. In addition, bovine strains were at least 90% sensible to oxacillin, erythromycin, gentamycin and sulfmethoxazole-trimethoprim. More than 90% of porcine Pasteurella haemolytica were classified as sensible to polymyxin B, enrofloxacin und florfenicol; bovine strains to cephalothin, neomycin und chloramphenicol as well. In 1996, 2 years after the chloramphenicol ban for food rendering animals, only 6.3% of bovine pasteurella strains proved to be resistant against chloramphenicol compared to a 16.27% fraction in 1994. The mean MIC-values of florfenicol against pasteurella spp. were nearly the same in bovine and porcine isolates with 0.53 microgram/ml and 0.52 microgram/ml respectively. Pasteurella haemolytica, however, showed higher MIC-values (0.68 microgram/ml in bovine, 0.70 microgram/ml in porcine isolates) than Pasteurella multocida with 0.47 microgram/ml in bovine and 0.51 microgram/ml in porcine strains. No isolate had a MIC of florfenicol greater than 1.0 microgram/ml, all pasteurella strains were classified sensible to florfenicol. 相似文献

Thirty five strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis were tested for resistance to prenicillin G, erythomycin, metallic ions Zn, As3, As5, Cd, Hg, Pb and activity of beta-lactamase. These studies have shown that the majority of tested staphylococci were resistant to penicillin G, erythromycin, and produced beta-lactamase. No correlation between the activity of beta-lactamase and the resistance to metallic ions has been shown. 相似文献

Sometimes therapeutic needs to tap drugs side effects of a treatment to show new indications for those drugs. Antibiotics, which are somewhat some often-used drugs, are frequently prescribed in non-infectious pathologies. Some indications are reported in the literature: immunosuppressive or antiinflammatory (disulone, salazopyrine, cotrimoxazole, clofazimine, fusidique acid), small bowel prokinetic action (macrolides), endocrine effects (déméclocycline, kétoconazole), enzymatic effects (rifampicine, cyclines), sclerotherapy (cyclines), pro- or anti-tumoral effects. This incomplete list is growing up every days. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Although Gram negative as well as Gram positive bacteria participate in febrile episodes of neutropenic patients, in particular recently the ratio of Gram positive bacteria is increasing. The objective of the present work was to investigate the incidence and antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacterial agents in neutropenic patients. METHODS AND RESULTS: The presence of bacteria was investigated in 446 neutropenic patients hospitalized at the Haematological Clinic in 1995. Haemocultures (apparatus Bact/Alert 120, cultivation media Organon-Teknika) and urine were examined. The sensitivity for antibiotics was tested by the standard dilution micromethod. In blood most frequently Staphylococcus epidermidis was isolated (45.4%), coagulase-negative strains of Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus hominis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus (14.4%), Acinetobacter calcoaceticus-baumannii (complex 6.3%) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (6.3%). In urine the following were detected: Staphylococcus epidermidis (36.5%), Enterococcus sp. (14.5%), Escherichia coli (13.1%), Enterococcus faecalis (11.6%) and Enterococcus solitarius (6.5%). In all strains resistance to antibiotics and chemotherapeutic drugs was assessed. CONCLUSIONS: Investigation of the frequency of different bacterial species, along with monitoring of the resistance is an essential prerequisite of initial antibiotic therapy of febrile episodes in neutropenic patients. 相似文献

The influence of extended practice on stimulus–response (S–R) compatibility effects was investigated. Three experiments, each extending over a period of 8 sessions, were conducted. The nature and degree of compatibility were manipulated across experiments. In all experiments, a persistent effect of S–R compatibility on reaction times (RTs) was observed. Thus, the lower bound for RTs appears to be less for compatible assignments than for incompatible assignments. This persistence of S–R compatibility indicates that the initial codings used to perform a novel task continue to exert an influence on later performance.

The effect of conducted training begun at an early age on the femoral head tilt was studied in male adolescent competitive sportsmen and physical education students. The control group consisted of army recruits. The femoral head tilt proved to be smaller in both sportsmen and physical education students when compared with the control subjects. The results suggest that sports activities started at an early age would not contribute to epiphysiolysis and through that to later development of osteoarthritis in the hip joint. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To document the risk of the development of vancomycin-resistant bacteria in a population of seriously burned patients during a 10-year period of common vancomycin hydrochloride use. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: The US Army Institute of Surgical Research, Burn Center, Fort Sam Houston, Tex. POPULATION AND METHODS: Microbiology, infection, and antibiotic use records collected during the hospitalization of 2266 consecutively admitted seriously burned patients were reviewed. Vancomycin was the primary therapeutic agent used for gram-positive infections and was also used as a perioperative prophylactic antibiotic during burn wound excision. This policy was established prior to this review because of a high incidence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus colonization and an anecdotal association of increased beta-lactam resistance in endemic gram-negative pathogens associated with the use of penicillinase-resistant penicillins and cephalosporins. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Isolation of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) or other gram-positive organisms resistant to vancomycin. RESULTS: Examinations of 15 125 gram-positive isolates, including 957 enterococci, for in vitro sensitivity to vancomycin yielded 3 VRE isolates in 3 patients. Vancomycin was used prior to VRE isolation in one of these patients. Resistance was found in 3 other organisms (2 Corynebacterium species, 1 Lactobacillus species). Vancomycin was used prior to these isolations in 2 of 3 patients. None of the vancomycin-resistant organisms was associated with infection and all 6 patients survived. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci or other vancomycin-resistant gram-positive organisms were not found in 663 patients treated with vancomycin for documented gram-positive infections or in 1027 patients where perioperative vancomycin was used. CONCLUSION: Use of vancomycin as the primary therapeutic agent in seriously burned patients was not associated with increased risk of VRE isolation or VRE infection. 相似文献

Abstinent drug users often report that taking even a small amount of their previously abused drug increases their desire for the drug and can lead to a full relapse. This apparent "priming" effect of drugs has been studied in both laboratory animals and humans. In animals trained to self-administer drugs, small amounts of a previously self-administered drug readily reinstate responding. In humans, administration of a previously abused drug increases self-reported craving and desire for the drug. Priming effects also occur with other reinforcers (e.g., presentation of a food stimulus increases food-reinforced responding). This article examines the generality of priming phenomena, and it examines some of the learned or unlearned processes that underlie the effect.

Studied 2 dimensions measured by the Digit Symbol subtest of the WAIS—speed and cognition—in relation to age. Data from 20–30 and 65–75 yr olds of average and high verbal ability are congruent with previous findings that both the speed and coding components are important factors contributing to a substantial age decline in Digit Symbol performance, but raise questions about the effects of Ss' educational experience.

The susceptibility of 101 pneumococcal isolates from the respiratory tract during 1991-1994 was examined and compared with the susceptibility of isolates over the period of 1975-1990. A rapid increase of resistance was seen not only to penicillin but also other antimicrobial agents. During 1991-1994, 38% of all the isolates were resistant to penicillin. The rates of resistance during this period were 16-23% for three newer cephalosporins, 18% for imipenem, 69% for tetracycline, 31% for erythromycin, 20% for chloramphenicol and 9% for clindamycin. The use of antibiotics within one month prior to pneumococcal isolation was correlated with penicillin resistance (P < 0.05). Serotyping of the isolates by antiserum revealed differences in predominant types between penicillin-resistant (19F, 23F,4) and -susceptible isolates (15, 4, 11A). Our data suggests that anti-pneumococcal antibiotics should be carefully chosen on the basis of susceptibility tests. 相似文献

Repeated cultivations (4 passages) of salmonellae (18 strains) resistant to cadmium, streptomycin and beta-lactam antibiotics in Müller-Hinton Broth (MHB) and Mac-Conkey Broth (MCB) without and with CdSO4 (2, 20 and 100 mg/L) showed a higher toxic effect of cadmium in MCB. The strains survived at CdSO4 100 mg/L in MHB for four transfers, in MCB only a single transfer. In dependence on the medium used and amount of metal added, the increase of resistance to antibiotics was different. In MHB, the same levels of resistance to carbenicillin and streptomycin were induced by CdSO4 (20 and 100 mg/L), in MCB it was by 2 and 20 mg/L. Simultaneous stop of the growth of a control culture S. typhimurium with chromosomal resistance to streptomycin, isolates with and without plasmid in MCB which contained CdSO4 100 mg/L, and the results of conjugal transfer of resistance suggest that changes of resistance to antibiotics were not mediated by determinants of resistance to antibiotics. The binding of cadmium to outer membrane protein can cause a decreased permeability to these antibiotics as a resistance mechanism. 相似文献

Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is characterised by a genetic predisposition to develop colorectal cancer at an early age and, to a lesser degree, cancer of the endometrium, ovaries, urinary tract, and organs of the gastrointestinal tract other than the colon. In the majority of families the disease is linked to mutations in one of the two mismatch repair genes, hMSH2 or hMLH1. We have found a novel hMLH1 nonsense mutation in a Swiss family with Lynch syndrome, which has been transmitted through at least nine generations. A different tumour spectrum of neoplasms of the skin, soft palate, breast, duodenum, and pancreas was observed in three branches of this family, where there was a virtual absence of colonic tumours. The hMLH1 mutation could not be detected in members of these branches suggesting that at least a second genetic defect predisposing to cancer is segregating in part of the kindred. 相似文献

Twenty eight of 227 patients undergoing restorative proctocolectomy for inflammatory bowel disease, familial adenomatous polyposis or functional disease were over the age of 50 years: ages 50 to 60 (n = 13), 60 to 70 (n = 10), and over 70 (n = 5). Major complications occurred in 5 patients over the age of 50 (18%) compared with 43 patients under the age of 50 (23%). Three patients above the age of 50 had their pouch excised (11%) compared with 23 under the age of 50 (12%). Functional outcome was assessed with a 12 point symptom score. This was similar in all age bands: under 50 years (mean = 2.2; sd +/- 2.2; n = 109), 50 to 60 years (mean = 2.5; sd +/- 2.5; n = 12), 60 to 70 years (mean = 2.8; sd +/- 2.3; n = 7) and over 70 years (mean = 4.0; sd +/- 3.7; n = 5): P > 0.05). When analysed for ulcerative colitis alone, no significant differences were seen between the two age groups. Restorative proctocolectomy in the elderly gives results which are comparable to the younger population. 相似文献
