[Chemically defined and partially defined media for pasteurella multocida and pateurella hemolytica].

Two culturing recipes were suggested for Pasteurella multocida and Pasteurella haemolytica, one partialy defined nutritive defined nutritive medium with 0.5 per cent yeast extract and one chemically defined medium. Both had been composed on the basis of studies into nutrient demand and into the effects of complex nutritive substrates. Both nutritive media are applicable also to culturing other bacterial species. (Among the strains tested so far were streptococci, staphylococci, Escherichia coli, pseudomonas, protest, Salmonella,, Shigella, and Haemophilus.)

[Studies on calf salmonellosis. 3. Preclinical evaluation of a Smd. Salmonella dublin live vaccine].

Results of preclinical assay, preparation and conservation of a S.-dublin live vaccine based on streptomycin dependent mutants and for oral application are demonstrated and discussed in detail. The used oral vaccine is very good tolerated by calves and results in stable immunity after administration of a daily dose of 5 x 10(10) bis 1 x 10(11) living Smd.-mutants for 10 consecutive days. Complete immunity developes in calves within a period of two weeks after the last antigen administration and persists up to the age of 5 to 6 months. Conserving the vaccine at low temperatures (-15 degrees C) the number of living organism is far-reaching preserved in the first 5 months after preparation. After thawing the vaccine is to be used within a period of 3 days. With respect to the preparation of the live vaccine on semisynthetic nutritiv media some informations are given concerning the improvement of bacterial yield.

[Binding relationships of fatty acids in lipid A of lipopolysaccharides from Pasteurella multocida].

Each glucosamine disaccharide of lipid A from Pasteurella multocida contains 2 mols myristic acid and 4 mols hydroxymyristic acid. 3-hydroxymyristic acid was identified as fatty acid with amide linkage. Every 2 mols of glucosamine have linked to them 1 mol myristic acid, 3-hydroxymyristic acid, and 3-myristoxymyristic acid. The results so far obtained reflected the structure of lipid A of enterobacteriaceae.

[Nutrient demand of erysipelothrix bacteria].

Studies into the nutrient demand of Erysipelothrix insidiosa led to the preparation of a nutritive medium with high bacterial yield which is recommended for quantity breeding of bacteria. The medium was complex and did not contain serum but the following components: peptone S, yeast extract, glucose, Na2HPO4, arginine, and Tween 80.

[Culture media for Salmonella dublin on a chemically defined basis].

The nutrient demand of S-dublin strains was investigated. Media on chemically defined basis for culturing of S. dublin are recommended with reference to the above studies. The definition includes Na2HPO4, KH2PO4, NaCl, glucose, the amino acids L-asparaginic acid, L-cystine, L-glutamic acid, serine, and L-threonine, and nicotinamide as vitamin component. Such media will be quite favourable for certain culturing problems, but complex substrate (yeast extract, peptone, tryptone) should be added for high yields.

[Sodium and water balance in the dog under halothane and methoxyflurane anesthesia (author's transl)].

In our model of volume expanded dogs with an equilibrium between input and renal output of sodium and water halothane anesthesia (1,5 Vol.-% insp.) was performed. In deepening halothane anesthesia we found a progressive decrease of mean aortic pressure, GFR and renal sodium and water excretion. There was a strong correlation between GFR and sodium excretion. With a high GFR significantly more sodium was excreted under halothane, whilst reduction of GFR led to an overproportional decrease of sodium excretion. Urine osmolality, too, depended on GFR under halothane. The results of methoxyflurane anesthesia were quite similansion. Concentrations of inorganic fluoride in serum and urine, which we measured in these experiments, did not result in visible changes of sodium or water balance, compared with the conscious state.

[Sodium and water balance and renal function in volume expanded dogs under neuroleptanalgesia (author's transl)].

In 8 volume expanded dogs with an equilibrium between input and renal output of sodium and water neuroleptanalgesia of 6 hours duration with a total of 9 mg/kg of droperidol and 0.35 mg/kg of fentanyl was performed. Under anaesthesia GFR was increased by about 10% (p less than 0,02) compared with the conscious state, whilst renal sodium and water excretion was reduced by about 50%. From this we conclude that active tubular transport of sodium is augmented under neuroleptanalgesia. Due to decreased excretion, retention of sodium and water increased during anaesthesia changes of functional ECFV tending into the same direction. Plasma volume and intravascular protein did not change under neuroleptanalgesia compared with the conscious state. Urine osmolality and negative free water clearance (TcH2O) increased by about 60% under droperidol and fentanyl. In volume expanded dogs under neuroleptanalgesia intravenous application of 0.5-1.0 mg of atropine resulted in a temporary water diuresis.

Induction of telomerase activity in stimulated human lymphocytes precedes expression of topoisomerase II alpha.

Telomerase activity has been demonstrated in human immortal cell lines and in tumors, whereas it is generally absent from normal tissues, with the exception of germ cells. Low levels have also been detected in blood and skin cells. In this report we describe up-regulation of telomerase activity in normal human blood lymphocytes by mitogen stimulation. After 24 h of mitogen treatment a strong induction was detectable using the PCR-based telomeric repeat amplification protocol. The level of activity remained almost constant when the cultivation lasted 72 h. By contrast, topoisomerase II alpha was induced later with a maximum expression after 48-72 h. Our data show that telomerase can be induced in normal peripheral lymphocytes prior to expression of the S-phase typical protein topoisomerase II alpha indicating that telomere elongation might be initiated before DNA replication.
