Abstract: Some pharmacological‐toxicological effects of canatoxin, a toxic protein purified from the seeds of Canavalia ensiformis have been studied in mice and rats. The most obvious effect, a lethal tonic convulsion, was generally produced 10–15 min. after intravenous injection of 2–3 mg/kg of the highly purified protein (mol. wt. 88,000). After intraperitoneal, intramuscular or subcutaneous administration the convulsion produced by the same toxin dosis occurred within 24 hours. A spinal transection ...

BACKGROUND: Upper abdominal surgical procedures are associated with a high risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. The risk and severity of postoperative pulmonary complications can be reduced by the judicious use of therapeutic maneuvers that increase lung volume. Our objective was to assess the effect of incentive spirometry (IS) compared with no therapy or physiotherapy including coughing and deep breathing, on all-cause postoperative pulmonary complications, and mortality in adult patients ...

Five tetrahydrofuran lignans and two known flavones were isolated from the aerial parts of Peperomia blanda. The structures of the isolated lignans were elucidated by interpretation of their spectroscopic data, including by gHMQC and gHMBC. The relative and absolute configurations of the isolates were determined from NOESY interactions and optical properties, respectively. Four of the lignans were diastereomeric whilst one was of mixed biosynthetic origin. All but one of the lignans exhibited high ...

The directed dispersal hypothesis has two components: (1) non-random seed deposition by a predicted vector, which removes greater amounts of seeds to specific sites, and (2) higher seed survival and seedling establishment in these specific sites. Several studies suggest that ants perform both tasks. This study was designed to cover the processes from post-dispersed seeds to established juvenile plants of a typical ant-dispersed species. Our main objective was to determine whether Ricinus communis ...

We investigated whether iNOS inhibition could interfere with the kinetics of VLA-4 and Mac-1 expression and adhesion properties of bone marrow and peripheral blood eosinophils of sensitized mice after antigen exposure. Treatment of allergic mice with 1400 W (iNOS inhibitor) increased the adhesion of bone marrow eosinophils to ...
