MINDO-Forces calculations with complete geometry optimization have been performed on nitromethane, aci-nitromethane and X-substituted nitromethane and aci-nitromethane (X = F, OH, NH2, CH3, CN, CF3, NO2, CHO). It is found that nitromethane is more stable than aci-nitromethane by 9.337 kcal/mol. This agrees with theoretical calculations. Thermodynamically, substituted acinitro tautomers are more...

The ACI rats developed hereditary renal malformations including agenesis and hydronephrosis at moderate penetrance. During construction of a variety of congenic strains based on ACI/Mna (ACI), BUF/Mna (BUF), and WKY/NCrj (WKY) rats, we found that the renal malformations were significantly suppressed by introgression of a segment of chromosome 13 of BUF rats containing Pur1 locus. It is plausibl...

We have examined the ability of 17beta-estradiol (E2) to induce development of mammary cancers in the female ACI rat. Continuous treatment with E2, delivered through release from s.c. Silastic tubing implants containing 27.5 mg crystalline hormone, resulted in rapid development of palpable mammary tumors in ovary-intact ACI rats. In a population of 21 E2-treated rats, palpable tumors were first...

INTRODUCTION AND AIMS Although, in the laboratory, most acute adverse effects of cocaine are dose-dependent and alcohol potentiates some of these effects, there are few observational studies, and scarce awareness that the risk of acute cocaine intoxication (ACI) can increase as the amounts of cocaine and alcohol consumed increase. Our objectives were to assess if the risk of ACI increases with ...

The responses to changes in renal perfusion pressure (RPP) were compared in 12-wk-old fawn-hooded hypertensive (FHH), fawn-hooded low blood pressure (FHL), and August Copenhagen Irish (ACI) rats to determine whether autoregulation of renal blood flow (RBF) is altered in the FHH rat. Mean arterial pressure was significantly higher in conscious, chronically instrumented FHH rats than in FHL rats ...

As one non-specific acute reactive factor, C reactive protein (CRP) is closely related with the occurrence of cerebral infarction and can work as one evaluating index reflecting nervous system injury. This study recruited acute cerebral infarction (ACI) patients, whose neurological functions and CRP levels in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) were tested to analyze its correlation with functi...

Using genetically homogeneous inbred ACI and Fischer rats, the author has conducted active immunization with the skin and lymphoid cells from ACI rat to Fischer rat and succeeded in making an experimental model that unfailingly causes hyperacute rejection, which has heretofore been considered to be extremely difficult. Semipermanent survival was gained with syngenetic graft. With allograft, acu...
