Fluid and penicillin G dynamics in polyethylene chambers implanted subcutaneously in rabbits.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chemical and cellular characteristics of fluid within subcutaneously implanted polyethylene chambers in rabbits were studied over a 3-month period. The fluid attained a relatively stable protein and cellular composition which was consistent with a mononuclear exudate. After a single dose of intramuscular penicillin G, the antibacterial activity of chamber fluid was found to be dynamic and similar to the serum antibacterial activity. This animal model may be useful for in vivo studies of the interaction of microorganisms with antimicrobial agents.

Marrow culture in diffusion chambers in rabbits. I. Effect of mature granulocytes on cell production.
Factors influencing granulopoiesis have been evaluated using diffusion chambers implanted in the peritoneal cavity of rabbits. An increase in granulopoiesis in chambers implanted in hosts made neutropenic by nitrogen mustard occurs in mice made neutropenic by x-ray or drug. The intraperitoneal injection of leukocytes inhibited the growth of cells in chambers implanted in rabbits. Removal of mat...
متن کاملVisual evoked potential in rabbits’ eyes with subretinal implantation by vitrectomy of Okayama University-type retinal prosthesis (OURePTM)
Okayama University-type retinal prosthesis (OURePTM) is a photoelectric dye-coupled polyethylene film which generates electric potential in response to light and stimulates nearby neurons. This study aims to test surgical feasibility for subretinal film implantation and to examine functional durability of films in subretinal space. Dye-coupled films were implanted subretinally by vitrectomy in ...
متن کاملCentral effect of histamine and peripheral effect of histidine on food intake in rabbits
Histidine is an amino acid precursor of neuronal histamine. It is evident that peripheral injection of histidine produces effects that resemble to centrally administered histamine. The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of histamine and inraperitoneal (IP) injection of histidine on food intake in rabbits. ICV injections of histamine (1...
