Some effects of injecting sterile solutions of streptokinase-streptodornase into the subarachnoid space of normal rhesus monkeys.

چکیده
Streptokinase (SK) and streptodornase (SD) solutions have been injected into the subarachnoid space of patients with meningitis, in order to promote the resolution of the inflammatory exudate (1-6). Because side reactions have been reported in certain cases (2, 3), it seemed desirable to ascertain the effect of injecting the enzymes into the uninfected subarachnoid space. Such a study was carried out in 31 rhesus monkeys,3 along with six others in which sterile saline was substituted for the enzyme. It is the purpose of this paper to report the results of the study.

Objective(s): Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) can effectively promote axonal regeneration，limit axonal retraction，and produce a statistically significant improvement in motor recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the role in primate animals with SCI is not fully cognized. Materials and Methods:18 healthy juvenile rhesuses were divided randomly into six groups, obs...

Objective(s): In the present study the effect of stress on monkeys that had learned to retrieve food from a five-chamber receptacle, as well as the relationship between their behavior and the serum cortisol and epinephrine levels and relative size of the amygdala was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Six male rhesus monkeys were individually given access to the food reward orderly. They could e...

Serum specimens from 12 sick and 20 normal horses were examined for levels of different classes of immunoglobulin (Ig) by a single radial immunodiffusion. The level of IgA in the sera of sick horses was about 50% lower than in the sera of normal horses. By contrast, the level of serum IgG was higher in sick than in normal horses.

The principle of preventing recurrence of spontaneous pneumothorax by means of obliterative pleuritis is not new. Many substances have been employed to bring about an inflammatory pleural reaction. They include silver nitrate and dextrose solutions, iodine, iodoform, hypertonic saline, talcum powder and the patient’s own blood. Beardsley et al,1 in their comprehensive paper on spontaneous pneum...

Living near high-voltage power lines and exposure to high-frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) is a potential serious hazard to animal and human health. The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of high-frequency EMFs from simulated high-voltage electric towers on cognitive, anatomical, and biological changes in male Macaque. In this study, two Rhesus Macaque were recruited, ...
