Effects of age at carcinogen administration and exposure as neonates to 17beta-estradiol on subsequent gland-pair distribution of murine mammary dysplasias.

The distribution of mammary dysplasias in 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-treated BALB/c female mice differed with respect to the position of mammary gland pairs. The time of life when DMBA was given affected the incidence of lesions more than it did their distribution. Giving neonates injections of 49 mug 17beta-estradiol for the first 5 days of life resulted in increased numbers of dysplasia after DMBA administration at certain ages, but there was no consistent effect on gland-pair distribution of dysplasias at those ages. Possible reasons for differential gland-pair growth and occurrence of dysplasia are discussed.

Effects of exposure of neonatal mice to 17beta-estradiol on subsequent age-incidence and morphology of carcinogen-induced mammary dysplasia.

Mice exposed to estrogens as neonates developed more mammary dysplasias and had different morphologic types of dysplasias than did normal animals when both groups were exposed to a carcinogen: 1) before puberty, 2) during active mammary growth, 3) or at 6 months of age (the time when spontaneous dysplasias begin to appear in normal animals). The relative percentages of various morphologic types of dysplasias differed in hosts that received different treatments. The significance for subsequent patterns of mammary disease caused by exposure of neonates to 17beta-estradiol was discussed.

Circulating neuropeptide Y in dog plasma consists of multiple peptide fragments.

Neuropeptide Y-like immunoreactivity (NPY-LI) in dog plasma was characterized and quantified using three extraction methods (Sep-Pak:acetonitrile, HCl:ethanol, and ethanol). Sep-Pak extraction yields the best recovery and preserves the integrity of the peptide. Oxidized NPY is not generated during blood collection. Using two antisera of different specificities, at least three peptide forms in normal dog arterial and venous plasma were detected. A peptide with retention times similar to oxidized NPY or peptide YY is the major component of plasma NPY-LI under basal conditions, but NPY(1-36) predominates during sympathetic stimulation. The mature peptide in dog plasma is similar to human NPY. The antiserum ABII provides a more accurate measure of circulating NPY(1-36) and its oxidized form. The antiserum ABI is useful for detecting NPY-like fragments.

Sinus slot technique for simplification and improved orientation of zygomaticus dental implants: a technical note.

The zygomaticus dental implant, designed by Nobel Biocare for the Brånemark System, is indicated primarily for the severely resorbed maxilla. Though the zygomaticus implant has had a remarkable success rate in a very difficult patient population, there are some shortcomings to the protocol for placement. The sinus slot technique described herein provides a simplified approach to zygomaticus implant placement, as compared to the currently recommended protocol.
