Malformations after treatment of new-born mice with a single dose of cyclophosphamide

Zusammenfassung Cyclophosphamid in Einzeldosis an neugeborene Mäuse verabreicht, bewirkt Missbildungen von Kopf und Vorderextremitäten sowie Geburtshindernis.     

Protective and immunostimulating activity of a low dose of cyclophosphamide in the experimental infection of mice with foot-and-mouth disease virus

Administration to mice of a low, non-immunosuppressive dose of cyclophosphamide 4 days before infection with foot-and-mouth disease virus decreases viral replication, enhances the immune response against the virus and prevents pancreatic damage.     

Protective and immunostimulating activity of a low dose of cyclophosphamide in the experimental infection of mice with foot-and-mouth disease virus

Summary Administration to mice of a low, non-immunosuppressive dose of cyclophosphamide 4 days before infection with foot-and-mouth disease virus decreases viral replication, enhances the immune response against the virus and prevents panceatic damage.     

Wasting syndrome in neonatal mice after administration of salivary gland homogenate

Summary A wasting syndrome, similar to that occurring after cortisol treatment, was induced in neonatal mice by means of the daily i.p. administration of salivary gland homogenate: 24 h after a single injection of the, homogenate, profuse cell necrosis was observed in the thymic cortex, 48 h later the cortex was devoid of lymphocytes. It is hypothesized that the submandibular glands of mice contain substance which are capable of inducing a cortisol-like effect.We should like to thank Miss Angela Würfler for her careful technical assistance.     

Ozone production by a corona-type loudspeaker and its toxic effects in mice

Résumé L'ionophone est un émetteur sonique et ultra-sonique qui utilise la particularité qu'ont les gaz d'être ionisés sous l'effet d'une tension électrique très élevée et de haute fréquence. Ce générateur est aussi un ozoniseur efficient et il est nécessaire de ne l'employer qu'avec une ventilation appropriée.

Osseal changes in mice following neonatal thymectomy

Zusammenfassung In neonatal thymektomierten Mäusen wurden nach 6–7 Wochen röntgenologisch sowie histologisch das «wasting syndrome» und schwere Knochenatrophien beobachtet. Der Mechanismus der beobachteten enchondralen Ossifikationsstörung wurde diskutiert.     

The effects of cyclophosphamide and nor-nitrogen mustard administration to one-day-old mice

Zusammenfassung Störung der normalen Entwicklung und des Wachstums ein Tag alter Mäuse wurde durch Injektion von Cyclophosphamid verursacht. Verabreichung von Nor-Chlormethin zeigte keine derartigen Effekte und es wird vermutet, dass diese Unterschiede durch die pharmakokinetischen Eigenschaften dieser Stoffe verursacht sein könnten.

Effect of cyclophosphamide on development of reticulum cell sarcoma in SJL/J mice

Summary Studies to determine the effect of cyclophosphamide (CY) on the development of reticulum cell sarcoma (RCS) in SJL/J mice indicated a dependence on the duration of the test period. Age also appeared a factor of importance. Thus, a comparison of tumor incidences at 52 weeks of age showed maximal inhibition when CY was administered at 40 weeks, minimal inhibition when the drug was given at 30 weeks, and intermediate inhibition when treatment was initiated at 10 and 20 weeks. Consistent with these findings, long-term treatment of 40-week-old SJL/J mice with low doses of CY resulted in an increase in the mean survival time and in a reduction in the incidence of RCS. This work was supported in part by a University College Faculty Research Grant.     

Partial reversal of toxic effects of 5-azacytidine by 6-azauridine in normal mice

Zusammenfassung Die partielle Blockierung der toxischen Effekte von 5-Azacytidin in normalen Mäusen mit Uridin, Cytidin und 6-Azauridin wird beschrieben. Die Hemmung der toxischen Effekte eines Antimetaboliten durch einen anderen kann für die Krebschemotherapie von Bedeutung sein.     

Changes of mucopolysaccharides in the epiphyseal plates of mice following neonatal thymectomy

Zusammenfassung Es wurde eine Präponderanz der neutralen Mukopolysaccharide in der Epiphysealplatte der neonatal thymektomierten Mäuse beobachtet und das Phänomen diskutiert.     

Visceral localization of 14C gentamicin in the rat after administration of a single dose

When administered intravenously to Rats, 14C Gentamicin decreased very fast in all tissues, except in kidney and cartilage. Some flexures of the small intestine contained radioactive carbon, and that was evidence for the biliary elimination of a part of the aminoglycoside. In animals with water restriction, the distribution of the antibiotic in tissues was similar to the distribution in animals with free access to water.     

Unchanged r-RNA-gene dose in mice liver cells of different developmental stages.

The content of ribosomal DNA in mice liver at the beginning as well as near the end of the hematopoietic period was measured by RNA/DAN-hybridization in solution. At both stages the amount of ribosomal DNA was the same and comparable to that of postnatal liver.
