OBJECTIVES To study the c-Kit expression in the gallbladder of cholesterol lithogenic guinea pig model and the effect of Artemisia capillaris Thunb on interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 45 guinea pigs were randomly assigned into three groups: the control group (guinea pigs fed a standard diet, normal group); the model group (guinea pigs fed a cholesterol gall...

Phosphocitrate (PC) and its analogue, PC-β ethyl ester, inhibit articular cartilage degeneration in Hartley guinea pigs. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that PC exerted its disease-modifying effect on osteoarthritis (OA), in part, by inhibiting a molecular program similar to that in the endochondral pathway of os...

Guinea pigs of two strains, outbTed Hartley and inbred Strain 2, were immunized subcutaneously with cephalothin (CET, 20 mglbody) alone, without adjuvant. Immune responses to the antibiotic were assessed by guinea-pig passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (GP-PCA) and active systemic anaphylaxis (GP-ASA) reactions. The immune response to CET in the female Hartley guinea pigs was higher than that in the...

Previous studies have suggested that the lnotropic effects of glucagon on the guinea pig heart, but not on the rat heart, could be dissociated from its effects on cyclic AMP formation. We compared the effects of glucagon on working rat and guinea pig hearts to reinvestigate this proposed dissociation. When administered to spontaneously beating preparations, glucagon produced •imilar increases h...

The contents of ascorbic acid (AsA) and erythrobic acid (ErA) in the tissues of guinea pigs intraperitoneally injected with AsA and/or ErA were determined to learn the difference in their retention in the tissues. After 10 d of AsA depletion, the guinea pigs were intraperitoneally injected with 5 mg of AsA, or 5 mg of ErA, or 5 mg of each. At day 5 of repletion, the guinea pigs were killed and ...

The objective of the present work was to register the first proven cases of human pseudomyiasis due to Eristalis tenax in Goiás State, Brazil, underscoring their clinical manifestations and direct relationship with hygiene. The taxonomic identification of the instars was done according to the descriptions and keys presented by James (1947), Hartley (1961) and Guimarães & Papavero (1999). Two ca...

Length The structured abstracts were, as expected, longer than the traditional ones. Indeed, they were approximately 30 percent longer, which is 10 percent more than the average 20 percent increase in length reported by Hartley (2002) for nine studies. It is interesting to note, however, that the average Hartley / CLARITY OF JOURNAL ABSTRACTS IN PSYCHOLOGY 371 TABLE 2 The Average Scores and Sta...

Two new species of quill mites (Acari: Prostigmata: Syringophilidae) collected from passeriform and coraciiform birds from Kenya are described : Neoaulonastus apalis sp. nov. from Apalis porphyrolaema Reichenow and Neumann (Passeriformes: Cisticolidae) and Peristerophila upupi sp. nov. from Upupa epops Linnaeus (Coraciiformes: Upupidae). Additionally, 3 new host species: Cisticola hunteri Shell...
