چکیده
199 human serum samples were examined for the presence of myxovirus parainfluenza 3 (mpi 3) haemagglutination inhibition (hi) antibodies. or tbe total male sera, 75% and female 70.52% had hi antibody titers of t:32 or greater. the percentage of positive samples increased according to the age grouping of the human beings. these results indicate that mpi 3 virus infection is widespread among the human population in iran. and it may be considered as one of the causes of respiratory illnesses in children and adults.

Vasopressin induces emesis in Suncus murinus.
This paper reports that vasopressin is emetogenic in the house musk shrew Suncus murinus. Either intravenous or intracerebroventricular administration of vasopressin caused vomiting within a few minutes. The ED50 of intravenous vasopressin was as high as 4.67 microg/kg, whereas intracerebroventricularly injected vasopressin was effective at a low dose of 20 ng/brain. The emetogenic target of va...
متن کاملCisplatin-induced emesis in Suncus murinus.
Emetic responses to cisplatin and participation of vagal innervation in emesis were studied in suncus. Intraperitoneal and intravenous administration of cisplatin caused dose-dependent emesis. ED50 values, latencies and frequencies were not significantly different between the two administrations. Cis-diaqodiammineplatinum (DAP), an active metabolite of cisplatin, also induced emesis, but with s...
متن کاملMating-induced cumulus-oocyte maturation in the shrew, Suncus murinus.
The musk shrew, Suncus murinus, is an induced ovulator, the cumulus oophorus of which is unusual in several respects: it has no matrix, it always induces the acrosome reaction and it appears to be essential for fertilization. The present study documents distinctive features of the cumulus oophorus before and after ovulation, and of copulation-induced maturation of the ovulatory follicle, which ...
متن کاملSequence variation and evolution of the mitochondrial DNA control region in the musk shrew, Suncus murinus.
The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control region was cloned and sequenced in the musk shrew, Suncus murinus, Insectivora. The general aspect was similar to that found in other mammals. We have found in two locations of this region the presence of arrays of tandem repeats like those in other shrew species. One array was located in the left domain containing the termination-associated sequen...
متن کاملHouse Musk Shrews (Suncus murinus) Do Not Copulate in the Light Period when First Paired in the Dark
House musk shrews (Suncus murinus) are known to have an alimentary canal more structurally similar to that of human beings than rats or mice (Kurohmaru, 1985), to be sensitive to motion sickness (Kaji et al. 1990), and to be more resistant to Xrays than C3Hf/He mice (Tsubouchi et al., 1984). They have been widely used in studies on disease models for motion sickness, gastric cancer, and hematop...
متن کاملInduction of emetic response to staphylococcal enterotoxins in the house musk shrew (Suncus murinus).
The emetic responses induced by staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), SEB, SEC2, SED, SEE, SEG, SEH, and SEI in the house musk shrew (Suncus murinus) were investigated. SEA, SEE, and SEI showed higher emetic activity in the house musk shrew than the other SEs. SEB, SEC2, SED, SEG, and SEH also induced emetic responses in this animal model but relatively high doses were required. The house musk sh...
