+ administration of 10 per cent oxygen to the ewe for 1 hour prior to

+ two analyses of the fetal tracheal fluid revealed it to contain 146
+and 198 mg. of lipid per 100 ml., 30 to 40 per cent of which was

+in a set of double ovum twins, one stillborn and one live-born .
+ 2. similarities occurred in all fractions studied except the cord

+free fatty acid concentration in maternal plasma and fetal body fat
+content .
+ subcutaneous injection of 200 u.s.p. units of heparin into female
+sprague-dawley rats produced large and sustained elevations of plasma

+pregnant rats received such injections of heparin 3 times daily
+throughout pregnancy . the fetuses from mothers of this group, at 191/2
+and 211/2 days of gestation, had significantly more body fat than the
+fetuses from uninjected mothers . the hypothesis is presented that the
+maternal free fatty acid concentration in part determines fetal fat
+accumulation . it is proposed that the body composition changes noted in
+babies of mothers with diabetes might thus be ascribed to abnormally
+high maternal plasma free fatty acid concentrations .

+the concentration of non-esterified fatty acids in maternal and fetal
+plasma in intact, alloxan-diabetic and x-ray-irradiated rats .
+ determinations of the non-esterified fatty acids in the plasma of

+concentrations depending on pregnancy during the period from the 20th -
+22nd day of pregnancy . in the fetal plasma the concentrations of
+non-esterified fatty acids only amounted to 40 - 50 per cent of the
+maternal values .
+ with alloxan diabetes produced 2 days prior to the test the
+concentration in the maternal plasma increased three- to fivefold, while

+ whole-body x-ray exposures (dose.. 400r, dose output.. 40r/min) of

+ 1) neutral fat can permeate through the human placenta without
+dissociation .
+ 2) almost all processes of fat permeation seem to be due to the
+biological activity . pinocytosis is most representative, but the
+authors newly found several facts such as dissolution-like change in the
+basement membrane and transport via the stroma cell . the authors
+believe that these results will bring a clue to explain the mechanism of
+biological transportation of materials through the placenta .

+the content of phosphatides, triglycerides and cholesterol in placentas,
+maternal, fetal and new-born liver of the white rat .
+ thin-layer-chromatographic examinations in the maternal rat liver
+showed different rise of the triglycerides and a significant increase of
+the esterified cholesterol, however, no striking changes in the content
+of free cholesterol and lipid phosphorus with the fractions examined
+(lecithin, colamine cephalin, sphingomyelin and lysolecithin) .
+ as compared to the liver of adult rats, the fetal liver contains a
+little less than 50 per cent lipid phosphorus . the difference is
+conditioned by the concentrations of lecithin, and colamine cephalin .
+on the 19th day the content of triglycerides is lower than in the mother
+rat . referred to the dry weight, there results a decrease of all
+phosphatide fractions, as well as of the free cholesterol and a slight
+rise of the triglycerides from the 19th to the 22nd day .
+ the rise of the phosphatide concentrations to the values of adult rats
+occurs immediately after birth under the influence of milk food, which,
+moreover, leads to a considerable increase of the triglyceride values .
+phospholipid- and triglyceride concentrations of the placenta correspond
+to those of the fetal liver . solely the content of free cholesterol is
+higher at the end of pregnancy . the content of triglyceride drops
+towards the 22nd day .

+analysis of mammalian lens proteins by electrophoresis .

+into two to three components, b-crystallin into 5-11, and y-crystallin
+into three to five components . this technique provides a sensitive

+an autoradiographic study on cell migration in the eye lens epithelium
+from normal and alloxan diabetic rats .
+ lenses from normal and alloxan diabetic rats with and without cataract
+were investigated by autoradiography 4 hours, 4 days and 8 days after an
+intraperitoneal injection of h3-thymidine (0.4 uc/g body weight) . the
+rats were made diabetic 8 days prior to the injection of thymidine at an
+age of 4 weeks . the position of labelled nuclei of the lens epithelium
+was noted and their grain numbers counted . the diabetic rats had a
+lower frequency of labelled nuclei than the controls but after 4 hours
+their grain counts were equal . frequency diagrams of labelled nuclei
+are given for each of the three experimental periods . a predominant
+peak appears after 4 hours at a distance of 30-60 cells in front of the
+beginning of the nuclear arc . a successive shift towards this area was
+observed for the longer experimental periods . the shift of the peaks
+was more restricted in the diabetic animals . this result may best be
+interpreted as an effect of an increased time of cell generation .
+ as an appendix a histotechnique for the eye lens is given in
+collaboration with mrs. gertraude moewis .

+.W
+lens development.. the differentiation of embryonic chick lens
+epithelial cells in vitro and in vivo .
+ the behavior of lens epithelial cells from six-day chick embryos was
+studied in three different experimental situations.. (a) explantation
+into several different fluid culture media, (b) explantation followed by
+reimplantation into lensectomized embryonic eyes, and (c) explantation
+followed by reimplantation into the embryonic coelomic cavity .
+specimens were examined histologically, and the total volume of the lens
+material of each specimen was determined from the planimetry of serial
+sections . the results were interpreted as follows..
+ 1. with a small amount of protein supplement in the culture medium,
+embryonic lens epithelial cells are capable of a limited amount of
+independent cytodifferentiation . without protein supplement they fail
+to undergo any fiber formation .
+ 2. when returned to the eye environment, cultured epithelial explants
+will respond with a resumption of growth, with further cellular
+differentiation, and with at least some of the morphogenetic changes
+necessary to form a lens . the embryonic coelom will not support these
+responses .
+ 3. the initiation of the formation of lens fibers is not sufficient
+for their complete autonomous maturation .
+ 4. the internal architecture of the developing lens is not the only
+determinant of its overall shape .

+.W
+treatment of active chronic hepatitis and lupoid hepatitis with

+ 6-mercaptopurine or azothioprine ('imuran') was used successfully in 3
+patients with active chronic hepatitis and 2 with lupoid hepatitis, for
+periods up to 1 year . these drugs allowed modification and even
+abolition of discomforting corticosteroid regimes . their action in

+treatment of collagen diseases with cytostatics .
+ 22 patients with collagen diseases and 3 patients with other
+immunological diseases were treated with the cytostatic antimetabolites
+('purinethol') 6-mercaptopurine and ('imuran') azathioprine for an
+average period of four months (range one to eleven months) . improvement
+was obtained in 17 patients,. and, in 20 out of 22 patients who had been
+on long-term glucocorticoid medication, the steroid therapy could be
+permanently discontinued . serious complications occurred, in the form
+of two deaths from pancytopenia and sepsis . the treatment requires
+careful supervision of the patients, and should only be instituted, on

+ two cases of systemic lupus erythematosus along with terminal uremia
+secondary to lupus nephritis are presented . both patients were treated
+with renal hemodialysis and transplantation . certain mechanical,
+infectious, and immunologic problems were responsible for their death .
+there was no evidence of resurgence of lupus erythematosus in either
+patient, and the transplanted kidneys did not show evidence of lupus

+discovered . the predisposing disease states leading to amyloid deposits
+in the kidney in the order of frequency were fibrocaseous pulmonary
+tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, lung abscess, and ileocaecal tuberculosis
+five cases were labelled as suspected 'primary' amyloidosis as a
+definite evidence of the predisposing disease could not be obtained
+although the skiagram of chest revealed minimal healed foci . no cause
+could be determined in thirteen cases, which were, therefore, labelled
+as 'primary' amyloidosis .
+ albuminuria was a constant feature in all the cases and 32 cases
+presented as nephrotic syndrome . the rest of the cases presented with
+hypertension or renal failure in addition to albuminuria .
+ the ancillary procedure, viz., congo-red test, gingival and liver
+biopsies proved to be of limited value in the diagnosis of renal

+ a case is reported of a sixty-nine year old woman with severe,
+idiopathic, autoimmune hemolytic anemia which was initially controlled
+by splenectomy . a relapse associated with the development of severe,
+autoimmune, thrombocytopenic purpura failed to respond to large doses of
+prednisone, but was controlled to a variable degree with imuran .
+ associated features included diffuse hypergammaglobulinemia, excessive
+gamma-u proteins in the urine, idiopathic hypoalbuminemia with a greatly
+reduced total exchangeable albumin pool, amyloidosis in the spleen and
+other organs, and diffuse plasmacytosis of the bone marrow, lymph nodes,
+and thoracic and peritoneal fat . these features and their
+interrelationships are discussed . there was no deficiency in the
+synthesis of specific neutralizing antibodies against viruses,
+indicating that a qualitative immune deficiency did not exist .
+ the frequency of occurrence of thrombocytopenic purpura in such a case
+is discussed, as is the prognosis . the mechanism of action of
+antimetabolites in inducing a remission in autoimmune hemolytic anemia,
+as well as the etiology of the disease, is reviewed .
+.I 25
+.W
+corticosteroid therapy of amyloid nephrotic syndrome .
+ the results of treatment with prolonged adrenal corticosteroids in 26
+adults with amyloid nephrotic syndrome are presented . eight subjects
+were observed in this series, and 18 additional cases were summarized
+from the literature . twenty-two of the patients were male and four were
+female . the diagnosis was established by renal biopsy in 19 instances
+and by autopsy in the others, with 18 patients considered to have
+primary amyloidosis and 8, secondary amyloidosis .
+ the majority of the subjects died in renal failure with an average
+survival after onset of the disease of 17.6 months . the renal disease
+was indistinguishable from that seen in other forms of the nephrotic
+syndrome, with the possible exceptions of (a) a high incidence of
+purpuric skin lesions, (b) a low or negligible incidence of hypertension
+(at times actual hypotension was prominent), and (c) a rapid and
+inexorable progression of azotemia despite persistence of the clinical
+and biochemical characteristics of the nephrotic syndrome . amyloidosis
+was found by percutaneous renal biopsy in 12 per cent of 83 adults with
+the nephotic syndrome .
+ corticosteroids did not appear to affect the progress of the disease
+and were neither beneficial nor detrimental . in view of the high
+incidence of deleterious side effects of prolonged corticosteroid
+therapy and the availability of potent diuretic agents which may be
+helpful in relieving edema in this disorder, it is felt that
+corticosteroids are contraindicated in the treatment of amyloid
+nephrotic syndrome .
+.I 26
+.W
+renal amyloidosis.. a biopsy study .
+ the relationship of the amount of amyloid deposition in the kidney to
+the clinical picture is reviewed in 14 cases of renal amyloidosis
+diagnosed by renal biopsy . the large percentage of patients who had the
+nephrotic syndrome (11 patients) probably reflects the criteria for
+renal biopsy at this institution . the etiology of the amyloid
+deposition did not seem to be clearly correlated with either the amount
+of amyloid deposition in the kidney or the severity of the clinical
+renal disease . all patients had deposits in the glomerulus, and the
+heavier the deposition the severer the renal disease . of 7 patients who
+had biopsy of the bone marrow, all had abnormal types or numbers of
+plasma cells . the age range in primary amyloidosis appeared to be about
+the same as that in amyloidosis secondary to myeloma . amyloidosis
+should be suspected in patients with proteinuria, the nephrotic

+selectivity of protein excretion in patients with the nephrotic syndrome.
+ with a gel diffusion precipitin technique and commercially prepared
+antisera, urine/plasma ratios of specific proteins were determined .
+individual protein clearances, expressed as a percentage of transferrin
+clearance, were plotted as ordinates against respective molecular
+weights on a log-log graph . a straight line was evident graphically,
+its constants were estimated by the method of least squares, and the
+slope, expressed as , was determined . the slope of the line may be said
+to express the degree of glomerular selectivity to protein excretion .
+sixty-five determinations were performed in 48 patients . 45 satisfying
+the usual criteria of the nephrotic syndrome .
+ 1) those patients with primary renal disease and the nephrotic
+syndrome who displayed high selectivity types of proteinuria ( greater
+than the average for the group + 1 sd) usually respond initially to
+steroid therapy, regardless of the acute or subacute glomerular changes
+observed on renal biopsy .
+ 2) those patients with chronic renal disease and the nephrotic
+syndrome display an average and frequently a low selectivity type of
+proteinuria .
+ 3) there appears to be no characteristic type of selectivity for a
+given pathologic group of patients with the nephrotic syndrome .
+ 4) the degree of selective protein excretion is not related to the
+total daily amount of protein being excreted at any one time and remains
+fairly constant despite fluctuation in the amount of protein being
+excreted .
+ 5) there is a slight correlation of borderline significance between
+the degree of selective protein excretion and the duration of the
+disease, and the initial para-aminohippuric acid clearance .
+ 6) a statistically significant correlation exists between the initial
+blood urea nitrogen or inulin clearance and the selectivity type of
+protein excretion . those patients who were not azotemic and had
+initially near-normal inulin clearances had an average selectivity type
+or better .
+ 7) it is suggested that if the adult patient is initially azotemic and
+has a grossly abnormal inulin clearance, response to therapy is
+unlikely, whereas if the blood urea nitrogen is normal and the inulin
+clearance is near normal, response to therapy cannot be predicted with
+any degree of accuracy . further studies of adult patients with the

+with advanced mammary carcinoma prior to endocrine therapy and 5 with
+benign mammary dysplasia, is reported . a chromatographic method was
+employed for the determination of estradiol, estrone, and estriol and

+(a) the extent of excretion of isotope in each of 3 successive 24-hr.
+collection periods, (b) the percentage of the urinary radiometabolites
+enzymatically hydrolyzed, (c) the relative concentration of the several
+metabolites in the hydrolyzed fraction . wide subject-to-subject

+and estriol comprised a large portion of the total estrogens excreted .
+a significantly lower amount of estradiol was noted in the group of
+women with mammary carcinoma as compared to the amount found in the
+group of women with benign mammary dysplasia, suggesting that the former
+group metabolizes more rapidly the administered estradiol . although the
+excretion patterns of patients who failed to respond to estrogen

+the development of social attachments in infancy .
+ this report is devoted to the formation and development of social
+attachments in infancy . it is suggested that the core of the attachment
+function is represented by the tendency of the young to seek the
+proximity of certain other members of the species and that the most
+suitable operational definition may be found in the behavior of the
+individual when deprived of such proximity .
+ the study takes the form of a longitudinal follow-up, in which 60
+infants were investigated at four-weekly intervals from the early weeks
+on up to the end of the first year and again at 18 months of age . with
+the use of an attachment scale, based on seven everyday separation
+situations, the following three main parameters were explored.. the age
+at onset of specific attachments, the intensity of such attachments, and
+the number of objects to whom attachments are formed . a measure of
+fear-of-strangers was also included .
+ results indicate that the age at onset of specific attachments is
+generally to be found in the third quarter of the first year, but that
+this is preceded by a phase of indiscriminate attachment behavior,. that
+the intensity of specific attachment increases most in the first month
+following onset and that thereafter fluctuations occur in individual
+cases which make long-term prediction difficult,. and that multiplicity
+of objects can be found in some instances at the very beginning of the
+specific attachment phase, becoming the rule in most of the remaining
+cases very soon thereafter . correlations between the attachment
+variables, as well as with the fear-of-strangers measure, are presented,
+and an examination is also made of the conditions eliciting protest at
+proximity loss, of the manner in which protest is expressed, and of the
+conditions necessary to terminate protest .
+ individual differences with regard to the three main parameters were
+explored in a subgroup of 36 infants . a number of variables were
+examined in relation to these individual differences, and suggestions
+made regarding the conditions which affect the manifestation of the
+attachment function .
+ the data are discussed in relation to four themes which emerged from
+the findings.. the nature of the attachment function, its developmental
+origins, its developmental trends, and the influence of the social

+ in summary, three cases of disturbed behavior in children have been
+discussed, with particular emphasis on disturbances in feeding,

+why such behavior should develop,. the significance of attachment
+behavior and separation anxiety in infants has been particularly
+stressed . difficulties in mothering care are threatening to the child's
+sense of security and lead to greater experience of separation anxiety,
+which may then be reflected in various disturbances or alterations in
+his behavior . this experience of separation anxiety is the result of

+electron microscopy . mice were inoculated with 1.5 ld of pr8 influenza
+virus and killed at varying intervals after inoculation . observations
+by light microscopy were correlated with those by electron microscopy in
+order to evaluate the lesions produced .
+ at the periphery, the earliest lesions were focal areas of edema of
+alveolar lining cells, the capillary endothelium and the interposed
+basement membrane . this caused an appreciable thickening of the
+blood-air pathway . hypertrophy, degeneration and desquamation of the
+alveolar lining and proliferation of alveolar macrophages resulted in
+complete consolidation, which was progressive up to 1 week after
+infection .
+ the central areas of the lung were affected somewhat differently . at
+3 days after infection, the nonciliated bronchiolar cells showed
+considerable hyperplasia of endoplasmic reticulum and apical cytoplasmic
+edema . viral particles matured at the lumen surface of these cells and
+were then released into the bronchiolar lumen . the bronchiolar cells,

+the role of alveolar inclusion bodies in the developing lung .
+ the developing alveolar epithelium of man and rat contains
+characteristic inclusion bodies which are heterogeneous structures but
+basically consist of a system of membranous profiles and a limiting
+membrane of the unit type .
+ inclusion bodies appear to result from focal cytoplasmic degradation
+which occurs in the rapidly changing cuboidal alveolar epithelium . some
+inclusion bodies in the developing rat lung are similar to the so-called
+/lamellar transformed mitochondria./ however, evidence is presented
+suggesting that alteration of all cytoplasmic membranes may be involved
+in the process of inclusion body formation . certain images associated
+with the golgi complex are interpreted as early forms of inclusion
+bodies . there is also evidence that inclusion bodies enlarge by
+accretion of membranes which finally are extruded into the alveolar
+space . inclusion bodies are formed and /secreted/ in greater number
+late in fetal life and in early infancy, i.e., at the time when the
+cuboidal alveolar epithelium is differentiating to the mature flattened
+type . the latter contains no inclusion bodies .
+ on the basis of the morphologic characteristics of the inclusion
+bodies and the distribution of the acid phosphatase reaction, it is
+concluded that inclusion bodies are lysosomal structures active during
+remodeling of the developing alveolar epithelium .

+ (2) average changes in blood distribution produced by standing were as
+follows . decrease in blood content in the /lung/ (-25 ) and in the
+/heart/ (-26 ) and increase in the /thigh/ (+56 ) were statistically
+significant . no significant change was revealed in the /head/, /palm/,
+/liver/ and /abdomen/ .
+ (3) cardiac output and stroke volume decreased by standing in most of
+the cases . recent data were added to those reported previously and were
+treated statistically . average decrease in cardiac output was -13 in 6
+control cases, -35 in 16 cases with neurocirculatory asthenia and -35 in
+10 cases with hyperthyroidism . the difference was significant between
+control and neurocirculatory asthenia . standing induced a substantial
+increase in cardiac output in a case of idiopathic nodal rhythm,

+this disease .
+ (4) significant linear correlation was revealed between per cent
+change of blood content in the /thigh/ or in the /lung/ and that of
+cardiac output or stroke volume induced by standing . minimal blood
+shift was observed when the latter was extreme, and vice versa . this

+of the experiments the rate of change of p in the jugular venous blood
+was also measured .
+ 2. the rise in p varied between 25.7 and 14.8 mm hg . the final

+65.9 (maximum range 68.1-61.6 percent) of the rise in p . in the
+remaining three experiments the final samples were taken at 15 min when

+experiments the final samples were taken 15 min after the start of co
+administration when the increases of p in the c.s.f. were 68.5 percent
+and 50 percent of those in jugular venous blood . in one experiment
+where the final samples were taken at 20 min the increase in p was 89
+percent of the rise in p .

+about 1 min in the jugular venous blood but in the c.s.f. it varied from
+1.6 to 4.2 min (mean 2.3) .
+ 5. the rise of p in blood and c.s.f. was exponential . the rise in p
+in all experiments consisted of a fast component with time constants
+which varied between 0.2 and 0.9 min (mean 0.5) and a slow component
+with time constants varying between 6.7 and 14.7 (mean 11.6) .
+ the rise in p and p consisted of only one component . the time
+constants for the changes in jugular venous blood were 2.1, 3.8 and 4.3
+min, whilst in the c.s.f. they varied between 6.7 and 14.7 (mean 11.6) .
+ 6. it is probable that about 40 percent of the increase in ventilation
+following co administration is due to stimulation of an area in the
+antero-lateral surface of the medulla sensitive to changes in ph or p
+(mitchell et al. 1963) . this area is superficial and ventilation is
+affected by changes in the p of the overlying c.s.f . it can be
+predicted from our experiments that the rise in p on co administration
+will take some 30 min to be complete . this may explain the slow rise in
+ventilation on co breathing when compared with the rate of rise of

+attitudinal factors in congenital heart disease .
+ this study considers the behavioral implications of congenital heart
+disease for the pediatric patient, his siblings, and his parents . the
+effects of a disease on the child, on his siblings, and on his parents
+and the interplay among these individuals are explored . the impact of
+the physician's diagnosis is illustrated by the induced significant
+changes in family attitudes, which are not necessarily related to
+disease severity or child incapacity .
+ poorer adjustment and anxiety in the cardiac child related more highly
+to maternal anxiety and pampering than to his degree of incapacity .
+maternal protectiveness and pampering were significantly greater in the
+cardiac than in the normal group and were highest in the cyanotic group
+the best predictor of maternal protectiveness was maternal anxiety,
+and it was found that the addition of other variables such as incapacity
+and child dependence failed to improve prediction substantially .

+maternal anxiety during pregnancy and adequacy of mother and child
+adjustment eight months following childbirth .
+ fifty pregnant women were administered a battery of psychological
+tests . on the basis of scores obtained from the manifest anxiety scale,
+these pregnant women were dichotomized into a /high anxiety/ group and a
+/low anxiety/ group . eight months following childbirth, the mothers and
+children were seen for a psychological assessment . it was found that
+the women in the /high anxious/ group evidenced significantly more
+negative childrearing attitudes . that is, the /high anxious/ mothers
+obtained significantly higher scores on the hostility and control
+factors measured by the pari . on the basis of the examiner's ratings of
+the mother's personality traits, it was found that the women who were
+highly anxious during pregnancy received much less favorable personality
+ratings at the time of the 8-month assessment . moreover, there was a
+significant difference in the proportions of mothers in the two groups
+who received a favorable rating from the examiner on the basis of his
+observation of the mother-child interaction during the session . in
+studying the children of these mothers, it was found that the children
+of the /low anxious/ mothers received a significantly higher
+developmental quotient on the infant mental scale . in keeping with this
+finding, they also obtained a higher developmental quotient on the motor
+scale, although on this aspect of the intellectual assessment the
+difference was not statistically significant . also, the children from
+the /low anxious/ mothers tended to receive a score indicative of a more
+favorable general emotional tone than did the offspring of the /high
+anxious/ mothers . this difference between the two groups of children
+was not statistically significant . in general, the findings were
+consistent with the predictions that the children who were being reared
+by women who had been highly anxious during pregnancy would fare less
+well on tests of intellectual development and indices of emotional
+adjustment . the findings also were in keeping with the prediction that
+the highly anxious women during pregnancy would evidence less desirable
+parental attitudes during their child's early development and that they
+would present a less favorable personality picture at a time

+ the present study involved separation of eight monkey mother-infant
+pairs for a period of two weeks and measurement of the behavior of the
+infants before, during and after reunion with their mothers, and of the
+mothers before and after reunion . all infants showed emotional
+disturbance in response to separation and drastic decreases in play and
+other complex social behaviors while separated .
+ it is clear that infant-mother separation produces emotional
+disturbance in both human and macaque infants and that the patterns of
+responses following separation are similar in both species . the results
+obtained in studies of monkey infant-mother separation indicate that
+sheer physical separation is the crucial aspect of maternal separation
+for monkeys . undoubtedly other factors associated with separation from
+the mother are vitally important for human children, and may account in
+part for the absence or rarity of the detachment stage (as seen in human

+the ophthalmologist's role in the management of dyslexia .
+ dyslexia is a clinical entity characterized by subnormal reading
+ability in a person of average or above average intelligence .
+ it is a disease which has different causes in different children . the
+causes include brain damage in the /language area,/ hereditary
+predisposition and such ophthalmic factors as hyperopia, muscle
+imbalance, aniseikonia or visual immaturity . emotional disturbances,
+educational immaturity and cerebral dominance may also play some role in
+the etiology of this condition .
+ the universal symptom is poor reading ability . however, these cases
+frequently have other associated symptoms such as poor writing,
+difficulty in reading and writing numbers, inability to read or write
+musical notes and disorientation for left and right . many of these
+patients develop personality maladjustments . visual fields often reveal
+a hemianopia .
+ in any group of poor readers, a large percentage will have ocular,
+neurologic, psychiatric or psychologic abnormalities and/or a strong
+hereditary tendency . the degree to which reading can be learned depends
+upon the ability of the individual to adjust to the psycho-physiologic
+needs that are present at the time he reaches /reading age/ in school .
+if compensating abilities are present, and if the child's reaction is a
+favorable one, he may read well in spite of unfavorable factors,. if
+not, he may become a /poor reader/ . these children should be recognized
+in their first year of school .
+ a complete medical work-up should be managed by an ophthalmologist . a
+complete ophthalmic examination should first be performed and all
+possible visual anomalies should be corrected . the ophthalmologist may
+want a psychometric evaluation, a neurologic opinion to determine the
+role of organic brain damage, psychiatric consultation for evaluation of
+emotional disturbances, pediatric consultation for evaluation of the
+status of the general health and/or consultation by an otolaryngologist
+to determine the patient's hearing ability . with all the necessary
+information at hand, the ophthalmologist will be able to recommend
+corrective medical therapy and to advise the parents and teachers about
+available remedial reading aids .
+ the prognosis is good for most patients since they are of average or
+above average intelligence,. nearly all cases can be helped .

+the optic nerves .
+ abnormalities of the carotid siphons could not be detected on

+frontal lobes and vision .
+ the influence of the frontal lobe on vision is discussed based on the
+presentation of a rather unusual case . after the operation of a right
+frontal brain abscess, which never had led to papilledema, there was a
+pronounced diminution of the visual capacities of the patient,.
+gradually these disturbances regressed to the point of return of full
+visual acuity,. but there remained a hemianopic field defect . this and
+psychological defects in the sense of a partial visual agnosia (which
+latter are also regressing very well) prompted a discussion of those
+neuroanatomical and neurophysiological observations pertinent to the
+findings in this patient . the many data on the fronto-occipital
+connections in subhuman primates point to the role of the frontal lobe
+(area 8) in the development of visual disturbances in the sense of a
+temporary hemianopia with partial visual agnosia and some intellectual
+deficits . contrary to a single observation in an anthropoid ape, our
+case would seem to indicate that the aforementioned combination of
+symptoms may originate in the frontal lobe,. and we hope it will prompt
+other long-term follow-up studies of similar patients . the continued
+observation of this patient and perhaps of others will give a
+possibility to gain insight into the role of the frontal lobe in vision,
+as has been assumed for animals .

+evoked response in visual disorders .
+ 1. erg and ver have been recorded from eyelid and lateral occipital
+electrodes in response to diffuse stroboscopic stimulation . in 45

+potential arising from the occipital region . wave i was present in 67
+percent of subjects, wave ii in 97 percent, and wave iii in 100 percent
+later waves were inconstant and contained components from the vertex
+reference . no overall asymmetry in ver from right to left was found in
+normal subjects, although average asymmetry with smaller side compared
+to larger was 19 percent 12.5 . on monocular stimulation the
+contralateral ver was regularly larger than the ipsilateral reflecting
+predominant retinal representation of the temporal field .
+ 2. a statistically determined criterion of 50 percent depression in
+wave ii successfully identifies most patients with hemianopic defects
+involving the central 10 percent of visual field on tangent screen
+campimetry .
+ latency asymmetry of six msec. or more and grossly asymmetrical
+aberrant wave forms are seen in some patients with diffuse cerebral
+disease and hemianopic defects .
+ 3. severe or diffuse retinal disease is associated with alteration or
+loss of erg and ver on stimulation of the involved eye .
+ 4. optic nerve disease is indicated by bilateral loss or suppression
+of ver on stimulation of the involved eye . erg is normal .
+ 5. bilateral prechiasmal involvement is associated with complete
+suppression of ver . if only waves i and ii are lost, disease is
+probably, but not conclusively, demonstrated .
+ 6. involvement of nasal retinal fibres is indicated by reversal of the
+normal contralateral preponderance of ver on monocular stimulation .
+these changes are observed in chiasmal disease .

+disturbances of the verbal body image.. a particular syndrome of sensory
+aphasia .
+ 1. the pto syndrome of the dominant hemisphere varies according to the
+extent and depth of the lesion in the angular and supramarginal areas .
+the mildest clinical syndrome consists of a vague contralateral sensory
+impairment associated with dyscalculia, dysgraphia, dyslexia and
+difficulty in naming . a more extensive lesion is needed to cause the
+wide variety of classical signs described in parietal lobe disease,
+among them being gerstmann's syndrome, which is usually found in
+association with other manifestations of parietal loss (case 1) . an
+even more extensive corticosubcortical lesion in the area leads to
+complete disintegration of naming and understanding of speech (cases 3,
+4 and 5) .
+ 2. attention is drawn to the difficulties arising from lack of
+differentiation between the concrete gnostic body image and the abstract
+verbal body image in investigation of these patients . the aphasic
+syndrome should be differentiated from disturbances of gnosis by
+application of separate, non-verbal methods of testing to elicit the
+impairment of the gnostic body image . the latter may be well
+compensated for and it is apparently unimpaired in the presence of an
+aphasic syndrome limited to the verbal body image .
+ 3. disturbances of speech in pto lesions if investigated along
+quantitative scales of impairment of repetition, understanding and
+naming, show a regular interrelation . nomination is the most affected,
+understanding is less affected . repetition is the best preserved
+function (cases 1-4) . the same interrelation of these functions is
+found with regard to the verbal body image . however, understanding and
+naming of parts of the body show far greater disintegration than
+understanding and naming of any other categories of words (all cases
+presented here) . if the aphasic syndrome is subsiding, finger aphasia
+with some other minor disturbances of verbal body image associated with
+acalculia may persist (case 1) . thus gerstmann's /finger agnosia/ may
+represent a partial impairment of the verbal body image and be limited
+to finger aphasia .
+ 4. it is assumed that the verbal body image differs from other
+categories of verbal symbols owing to the mainly proprioceptive,
+vestibular and tactile experience forming its specific physiologic
+background . telereceptive experience is of minor importance in the
+initial development of the understanding of words defining the body
+image .
+ in the patients described here, the selectively worse aphasic
+impairment of the verbal body image, as compared with other categories
+of words, seem to confirm this assumption .

+of treatment . chromosomal damage may be quantitative with variations
+from the normal number of 46, or qualitative, thereby showing structural
+aberrations . counting the chromosomes in cells from cultures grown
+prior to therapy and at intervals during treatment enables us to
+determine the variation .
+ stained preparations examined microscopically allow us to recognize
+these abnormalities which are apparent before, during, and after
+radiotherapy . the damage appears to be largely random in the
+chromosomes affected in the different cancers, and the specific
+aberrations differ from cell to cell . however, there does seem to be
+some correlation between the appearance of persistent aberrant
+chromosomes and their frequency . while the peak incidence or /plateau/

+ the diversity of daily activities in which the patient becomes
+involved during his hospitalization should provide some indication of
+the extent to which the compensatory visual neglect therapeutics have
+been effective . more formal estimates can be obtained by
+re-administering the battery of visual neglect tests at periodic
+intervals . nursing personnel adopting a program of therapeutics such as
+this must bear in mind that patients suffering cerebral insult are
+usually less adaptive than their nonbrain-injured peers . they develop
+new habit patterns slowly and regression often will follow apparent
+fixation at a more adaptive level of response habituation(11) . however,

+and (4) aortic valvular insufficiency .
+ clinical findings were often those of the ventricular septal defect,

+diagnosis have been presented . when a complete diagnosis was made
+preoperatively, the procedures leading to it have been outlined . while
+the diagnostic approach varies with the malformations which may coexist
+with ventricular septal defect, it was observed that aortography and
+selective left ventricular angiocardiography were most commonly helpful
+in identifying occult malformations associated with ventricular septal
+defect . it is therefore recommended that complete studies, including
+left-sided cardiac catheterization with left ventricular
+angiocardiography and aortography, should be considered in all cases in

+a sine-wave electromagnetic flowmeter simultaneously with left
+ventricular and aortic pressures . in eight patients who had aortic
+regurgitation without associated stenosis, 63 to 75 percent of the total
+forward stroke volume regurgitated during the succeeding diastole . the
+calculated regurgitant orifice areas ranged from 0.13 to 0.44 cm /m .
+after replacement of the aortic valve with a starr-edwards prosthesis,
+the absence of regurgitant flow was proved in every patient, and the
+records of aortic blood flow closely resembled those seen in patients
+with normal aortic valves . net forward blood flow increased by an
+average of 60 percent, total left ventricular stroke volume fell 42
+percent, and the mean aortic pressure rose 29 percent . the pressure
+work of the left ventricle was elevated preoperatively in five of the
+eight patients (average 89 g-m stroke/m ) and fell significantly to an
+average of 34 g-m stroke m after valve replacement . kinetic ventricular
+work was high in seven of the eight patients and comprised 10 percent of
+total work before replacement but only 4.8 percent afterward .
+ similar observations were made in five patients with aortic stenosis
+and associated aortic regurgitation, ranging in severity from 24 to 72
+percent of total forward stroke volume . in four patients in whom the
+valve was replaced, no residual regurgitation was present afterward, and
+net forward flow rose an average of 49 percent . kinetic left
+ventricular work was extremely high in every patient and averaged 26
+percent of total work preoperatively and 13 percent after valve
+replacement . in this group, pressure work was variable both before and

+studies in perfusion hypothermia with special reference to /deep

+blood flows . the difference between the coldest and the warmest portion
+of the body after 30 minutes of perfusion exceeds 25 c .
+ 2. the average body temperature, which provides a proper measure of
+total body cooling, may be calculated from the arteriovenous temperature
+difference and the extracorporeal flow rate .
+ 3. true /deep/ hypothermia is not obtainable by reasonable periods of
+perfusion alone .
+ 4. an important rise of core temperatures occurs during circulatory
+arrest in hypothermia because of relatively high average body
+temperature .
+ 5. high average body temperatures lead to continuing production of
+lactic acid in muscle tissue, whereas low core temperatures impair
+lactic acid metabolism . thus metabolic acidosis is progressive in
+prolonged perfusion hypothermia, and is accentuated by total circulatory

+evidence for an immunological reaction of the host directed against its
+own actively growing primary tumor .
+ cells isolated from primary benzo(a)pyrene-induced fibrosarcomas in
+rats of a pure line were tested for their ability to grow as autografts
+when injected back into the autochthonous host . the autograft did not
+take if the primary tumor had been removed but grew occasionally in
+animals in which the major part of the tumor was left . in every
+instance the sarcoma cells grew when injected into syngeneic recipients
+in these recipients the growth of the sarcoma cells was prevented or
+retarded when they were mixed in vitro, prior to injection, with spleen
+cells from animals that had been immunized against the tumor .
+autochthonous spleen cells taken from the animal with the tumor behaved
+in this test like those from immunized animals as long as the spleen was
+taken 3 weeks after removal of the tumor . when the spleen and tumor
+were removed at the same time, however, autochthonous spleen cells did
+not behave like spleen cells from immunized animals and did not
+interfere with the growth of the tumor . the results of both the
+autograft and spleen cell experiments suggest that rats react actively
+against their own growing primary tumors, but that the tumor exhausts
+the supply of lymphocytes responsible for this reaction . after the

+rise in calculated mixed venous oxygen saturation from a mean of 76 to

+of infectious centers and dna concentration was linear .
+ the sensitivity of the infectious dna to ultraviolet light was much
+greater than that of the free phage when b. subtilis 168 m was used as
+host . acriflavin, which inhibits host cell reactivation, increased the
+rate of ultraviolet inactivation of the free phage so that it approached
+the inactivation rate of the phage dna . acriflavin had little effect on
+the survival curves of the infectious dna .
+ non-host reactivating mutants (hcr ) of b. subtilis 168 m were
+isolated . the survival curves of spo2 phage were much steeper when the
+hcr mutant was used as a host than those obtained when the hcr parental

+transduction in bacillus subtilis .
+ (i) comparative examinations have shown that the temperate subtilis
+phages can be divided into two groups . b. subtilis strain nrs 231 was
+an adequate common host sensitive to all the examined temperate phages .
+ owing to certain technical advantages this strain was found suitable
+for the titration subtilis phages .
+ (ii) some cultural differences have been revealed among substrains of
+b. subtilis 168 ind auxotrophs maintained in various laboratories .
+cells in one of these cultures were partly capable and partly incapable
+of using ammonia . ammonia assimilation was transducible to ammonia
+negative bacteria .
+ (iii) after mitomycin c or ultraviolet ray induction the examined b.
+subtilis strains liberated /bacteriocin/-like principles . this finding
+is probably analogous to that of seaman et al. concerning pbsx defective
+phages . on the basis of bacteriocin production the examined strains
+were divided into two groups .
+ (iv) several temperate phages isolated in our laboratory were
+presumably identical with phage pbs 1 . phage sp 10 differed from these

+ (v) transduction by some lysates of pbs 1-type phages was observed at
+frequencies of the order of 10 . considerably more and less effective
+phage materials were yielded by some lysogenic transductants . thus

+the carrier state of bacillus subtilis infected with the transducing
+bacteriophage sp10 .
+ bacteriophage sp10 may infect bacillus subtilis to form a carrier
+system . the infected bacteria give rise to infected organisms after six
+or more successive single-colony isolations . about 60 of the spores
+derived from such an infected culture yield clones that produce phage,
+and such spores retain their ability to produce phage even after
+treatment with antiserum and heating at 80 . four hours' incubation of
+carrier spores in nutrient broth yields cultures having more than 10
+infective centers per bacterium . cultivation of infected organisms in
+medium containing sp10 antiserum leads to loss of phage and loss of
+immunity to phage infection . dna with a density characteristic of viral
+dna can be detected in infected bacteria . extracts of infected bacteria
+contain a phage-induced deoxyribonuclease activity which attacks both
+phage and bacterial dna in vitro . the phage-bacterial complex is
+therefore best described as a carrier state .
+ the dna of the phage and of b. subtilis are chemically different .
+enzymatically prepared complementary virus rna has no homology with
+bacterial dna . the lack of homology of this transducing phage dna with
+the dna of its host and the failure to form a truly lysogenic
+relationship reinforce previous conclusions that transducing bacterial
+dna is incorporated into the sp10 virus particle without any
+recombination between viral and bacterial dna .

+infectivity of dna isolated from bacillus subtilis bacteriophage, sp82 .
+ sp82, a newly isolated bacteriophage of bacillus subtilis, is
+described . sp82 is closely related to sp8, but differs from sp8 in the
+density of its denatured dna and in its plating effciency on b. subtilis
+strain sb-1 .
+ dna isolated from this phage can be recovered in molecular weight
+equivalent to the amount contained in a single phage (approximately 130
+x 10 daltons) . dna of this molecular weight, but not half pieces, is
+infective in competent b. subtilis . the response of plaque-forming
+ability to dna concentration suggests that four whole molecules are
+required to initiate an infective center . recombination studies with
+mixed dna's of two non-allelic temperature-sensitive mutants confirm the
+existence of an obligatory co-operative infective process . a second
+infective procedure that utilizes extracted phage dna is described . in
+this system, low concentrations of wild-type dna are exposed to the
+cells . at these concentrations the multiple-event nature of phage dna
+infection precludes the formation of unaided plaques . however, by
+subsequently superinfecting the dna-infected cells with a
+temperature-sensitive mutant and plating under selective conditions,
+genetic rescue of the infecting dna is accomplished and detected .
+infective centers elicited by this /marker rescue/ phenomenon are
+directly proportional to dna concentration . the time of attainment of
+dnase resistance by phage dna infective centers that have irreversibly
+adsorbed dna can be measured . phage dna infective centers require at
+least 13 minutes to become totally dnase resistant . the reasons for the
+failure of single phage dna molecules to carry out an infection are

+ the aim of psychology applied in dentistry is to discover a mode of

+subject to any psychic traumatization (psychophylaxis) . its second aim
+is the management of the so called difficult child and his treatment .

+the situation in the surgery is dealt with step by step as the child
+experiences it through his senses and his psyche . beside the basic
+senses -dash hearing and seeing -dash others are also affected.. touch
+(pressure sensation), smell and taste .
+ children during dental treatment are nearly always in a state of
+raised emotional tension and are susceptible to anxiety reactions .
+according to the degree of fear which they manifest children may be
+classed into categories of cooperating and difficult patients . the
+psychological procedure for the treatment of children of both groups is
+based on the principles summarized in the section 'psychophylaxis in
+dentistry' . in difficult children it is often necessary to employ yet
+other psychological measures-psychotherapy, suggestion etc . in

+with the child .
+ the experimental part of the work demonstrates the following findings
+ 1. dental treatment consists of a series of interdependent
+traumatizing impulses . many of them appear only after a close analysis
+of the situation . 2. the adverse response similar to that elicited by

+background . 3. psychic traumatization of the child during dental

+results of the tests showed that circumcision, performed around the
+phallic stage is perceived by the child as an act of aggression and
+castration . it has detrimental effects on the child's functioning and
+adaptation, particularly on his ego strength . by weakening the
+controlling and defensive mechanisms of the ego, and initiating
+regression, it loosens the previously hidden fears, anxieties, and
+instinctual impulses, and renders a feeling of reality to them . what is
+expressed following the operation is primitive, archaic, and
+unsocialized in character . as a defensive control and protection
+against the surge of the instinctual forces coming from within and the
+threats coming from outside, the ego of the child seeks safety in total

+eating disturbance, (v) aggression toward authority, and (vi)

+any analysis . age, duration of hospitalization, and occupational status
+were each significantly related to one or more types of responses .

+ldh isozyme pattern occurred and consisted for liver and muscle in loss
+of the most rapidly migrating anodal bands and increased activity in the
+cathodal bands and slower migrating anodal bands . in heart the reverse
+changes were observed . if high enough ldh activities of early fetal
+tissue extracts were applied to the gel the full complement of ldh
+isozymes was observed,. however, in lower concentrations the cathodal
+bands, which in the starch gel disappear more rapidly on dilution than
+do the anodal bands, were not observed . a species-specific isozyme
+pattern is obtained in long term culture of rabbit, chick, and human
+cells . independently of the tissue of origin, there occurs in cells in
+culture a sequential series of isozyme alterations characterized by
+decreased intensity of rapidly migrating anodal bands . the shift toward
+prominence of cathodal isozymes during both fetal development and tissue
+culture can be explained by postulating the increased activity of the
+gene producing one of the subunits of ldh with a concomitant decrease in

+temperatures below 15 c. protected animals from lung as well as kidney
+disease . higher temperatures disturbed the host-parasite relationships
+and led to higher incidence of malignancy . in the bullfrog, precancer
+was clearly associated with the worm attachment discs .
+ (3) other histological types of tumors in vermont frogs included
+lymphosarcomas, liposarcoma, mesothelioma, epithelioma, and adrenal and
+cartilage tumors of uncertain malignancy .
+ (4) improved methods of obtaining tumor filtrates allowed greater
+probability of inducing malignancy with direct renal injection . in 106
+frogs 37 per cent developed histologically provable cancers in the
+ranges of three to seven months . twenty-six per cent showed some
+pre-cancer response and 43 per cent were negative . within the series
+receiving filtrate from high malignancy donors one group yielded 100 per
+cent positive, the others 50 and 38 per cent, respectively .
+ (5) among animals injected with /low/ malignancy filtrate, fewer
+tumors resulted . some of these were clearly vesicular carcinomas and
+could be classed as lung tumors .
+ (6) improved tissue culture methods allowed explants to live in liquid
+media under perforated cellophane up to one year . slower growth, aided
+by lower temperatures (16 c.) improved the microecology of cell types
+and allowed detailed daily observations of each cell's intranuclear and
+intranucleolar physiology for extended time-lapse cine-photography .

+see-saw nystagmus an unusual sign of lesions near the third ventricle .
+ a case of see-saw nystagmus in a child with craniopharyngioma and
+bitemporal hemianopsia is described, and reference is made to previous
+case reports . the basis for this curious sign is not clear, but the

+implications of gerstmann's syndrome .
+ of 465 consecutive patients subjected to a standardized battery of
+neuropsychological tests, 111 had one or more components of gerstmann's
+syndrome . each of these 111 patients had some evidence of organic brain
+dysfunction in addition to gerstmann components . as the number of
+gerstmann components increased, the responsible brain lesions tended to
+be larger, more highly destructive of tissue, and to cause greater
+neurological impairment . every patient with four gerstmann components
+had associated evidence of severe impairment of brain functions and the
+lesion or underlying disease was likely to compromise survival of the
+patient . the syndrome is not to be regarded as an autonomous entity,
+but merges with numerous other neurological deficits, notably dysphasia
+in agreement with benton, we find no justification for singling out
+the four gerstmann components as a separate syndrome, unless one is also
+prepared to recognize that any other arbitrary groups of concurrent
+deficits are also separate syndromes .
+ in at least three of 23 patients with all four gerstmann components,
+the angular gyrus, as shown by necropsy examination, was not involved by
+the lesion . however, the probability that the left hemisphere contained
+a lesion increased with the number of gerstmann components, and the
+probability of involvement of the left posterior parasylvian area also
+increased with the increase in the number of gerstmann components . with
+two, three, or four gerstmann components, the lesions were never
+restricted to the angular gyrus but tended to spread widely over the
+parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes . as to localizing significance,
+gerstmann's syndrome has approximately the same degree of cogency as
+dysphasia .

+visual defects .
+ the visual evoked response (ver) was studied by means of computer
+averaging in 32 normal subjects, nineteen patients without visual
+disorder but with unilateral cerebral lesions, and 30 patients with
+homonymous visual field defects . an early negative-positive-negative
+complex was recorded between laterally placed occipital electrodes and a
+vertex reference . latencies were prolonged in the hemianopic patients .
+some amplitude asymmetries were noted in the brain-damaged controls but
+were more pronounced in patients with visual defects . the recordings in
+the hemianopic patients were differentiated from those in both control
+groups by the presence of aberrant wave forms (2 cases),. prolonged
+latencies (3 cases),. and amplitude depression of greater then 50 per
+cent of the positive wave on the abnormal side (16 cases) . pathologic
+verification was obtained in three patients and demonstrated a
+correspondence between alterations in the ver and the presence of

+women who have suffered from a series of cerebrovascular lesions . the
+neurological disabilities have included aphasia, homonymous hemianopia
+and hemiplegia but have been remarkable for the degree of recovery which
+has occurred . it is presumed that the livedo which has been found in
+only one patient without neurological lesions is related to the
+cerebrovascular incidents . investigations have failed to show any
+evidence of polyarteritis nodosa, disseminated lupus erythematosus and

+hemiparesis and speech disorders when the tumour is on the dominant side
+radiologically, carotid angiography permits identification of these
+tumours easily . surgically, the tumours were removed completely and,
+although in 2 cases the transverse sinus had to be resected, this caused
+no damage . one patient, who was operated on twice and whose

+ patients with prostatic cancer and those with benign hypertrophy

+the morphologic demonstration of an alveolar lining layer and its

+ the presence of an alveolar lining layer was histologically
+demonstrated in animal lungs by ultraviolet microscopy . this layer
+appeared as a thin fluorescent line at the air-tissue interface .
+ the fluorescent lining layer could be abolished from lung sections by
+extraction with chloroform..methanol and was diminished by digestion
+with cl.welchii a-toxin lecithinase, suggesting that the structure was a

+identified by the use of phosphatide and polysaccharide stains,
+suggesting that the lipid was a phosphatide, but that a
+mucopolysaccharide component might also be present .
+ bilateral cervical vagotomy resulted in diminution or loss of the
+fluorescent alveolar lines and abnormal surface tension properties of

+cells within the alveolar spaces was contributed to by monocytes of the
+circulation, mesenchymal cells of the alveolar walls and epithelial
+lining cells of the alveoli . the abnormal epithelial lining during the

+time course of changes in surface tension and morphology of alveolar
+epithelial cells in co2-induced hyaline membrane disease .
+ atelectasis and hyaline membranes produced by exposure of guinea pigs
+to 15 percent co2 were found to be associated with disappearance of
+lamellar bodies in the large alveolar lining cells (granular
+pneumocytes) and an associated decrease in surfactant as indicated in
+the rise of minimal surface tension of the lungs . this process is
+limited to the uncompensated phase of respiratory acidosis and is
+reversed during the compensatory phase . the parallel time course in

+lactate and pyruvate in the brain of rats during hyperventilation .

+ventilation show that during hyperventilation lactate and pyruvate are
+markedly increased both in blood and in brain . the lactate/pyruvate
+ratio which remains in blood the same as in control conditions, is
+systematically decreased in brain . during hypoxia (ventilation with 7
+oxygen in nitrogen) lactate rises markedly in blood and in brain . the
+lactate/pyruvate ratio which is strongly increased in blood shows a
+small rise in brain . these observations could indicate that a different
+mechanism is responsible for the rise of lactate in brain during hypoxia

+pared with 18 percent when direct suture was performed . the incidence
+of heart block also decreased from 15 percent, when direct suture was
+used, to 4 percent with a patch . the transatrial approach is preferred
+for isolated ventricular septal defects,. the ventricular approach is
+preferred for cases with tetralogy of fallot . in cases combined with
+aortic insufficiency only small defects are closed through the aorta .
+larger defects are closed in the usual way at a first stage operation,

+ aortic insufficiency with pulmonary stenosis 1
+ in sonre small ventricular septal defect, we tried the vasoactive
+drugs . phenylephrine was injected slowly into the right ventricle via
+the catheter, a rapid rise in femoral arterial pressure associated with
+bradycardia and intensiffication of the systolic murmur was observed .
+after the administration of amyl nitrite, a rapid fall in femoral
+arterial pressure associated with tachycardia and softening of the sys-
+tolic murmur was observed .
+ in patent ductus arteriosus, when the cardiac catheter is withdrawn
+slowly from the aorta into the pulmonary artery, the outstanding
+pressure curve is recorded in ductus arteriosus . the systolic pressure
+curve in the ductus arteriosus is the same as the systolic pressure in
+the aorta and the diastolic pressure curve in the ductus arteriosus has
+a diastolic dip followed by a late diastolic pressure peak .
+ in patent ductus arteriosus, when the cardiac catheter is withdrawn
+from the left pulmonary artery to the right ventricle, the pressure
+curve reveals a considerable characteristic rise in pulmonary arterial
+pressure which is regarded as an effect of the transmission of systemic
+pressure through the ductus arteriosus .

+pulmonary vascular plexiform lesion pathogenetic studies .

+ in 39 subjects with such congenital communications as are associated
+with pulmonary arterial hypertension, the lungs were studied
+histologically . in each, there was an additional element of pulmonary
+venous obstruction . it is likely that in the absence of pulmonary
+venous obstruction, adult patients with only the congenital
+communication would have developed plexiform lesions .
+ in the three adult patients in the study, no plexiform lesions were
+identified . among the 36 infants or children, one subject showed
+plexiform lesions, a 53-day-old girl with mitral atresia, ventricular

+severe valvular heart disease . the aortic valve in each of these 4
+patients was heavily calcified, immobile, and portions of the calcific
+deposits were in direct contact with the blood . hemolysis in each
+patient was attributable to direct trauma to erythrocytes traversing the

+drugs and neonatal jaundice .
+ this paper is not intended as an exhaustive review of bilirubin

+referred to the excellent articles by zuelzer and brown . brief mention
+has been made of the mechanism by which certain drugs may contribute to
+the development of hyperbilirubinemia . a few drugs, the water-soluble
+vitamin k derivatives, sulfasoxazole (gantrisin), the salicylates, and
+novobiocin have been unequivocally shown to affect adversely the newborn
+infant's ability to handle bilirubin . in time other compounds will
+definitely be incriminated .
+ it is important to remember that the administration of a drug to a
+mother just prior to delivery may result in appreciable concentrations
+of the compound in the infant's serum, and that drugs administered to
+the nursing mother may be excreted in breast milk and thereby absorbed
+by the infant . careful consideration of the drugs given not only to the
+newborn but also to the mother is therefore essential if we are to avoid
+what may be termed iatrogenic hyperbilirubinemia .

+amputation in patients over 80 years of age .
+ although patients over 80 years of age can be expected to have poor
+physical reserve and many co-existing diseases, our observations show
+that nevertheless they can be subjected to surgical procedures without
+undue mortality . the mortality rate can be maintained at a minimum if
+the surgeon considers the factors that contribute to its increase in the
+elderly . this necessitates.. 1) careful evaluation of the patient and
+treatment of any pre-existing or co-existing disease, 2) proper control
+of electrolytes, 3) avoidance of infection, 4) prompt correction of any
+postoperative hypotension, 5) postoperative pulmonary ventilation and
+tracheal cleansing, and 6) avoidance of prolonged surgical procedures .
+ a group of 26 patients past the age of 80 years underwent amputation
+of a lower extremity, without undue mortality (9 deaths) .
+ lumbar sympathectomy is not considered advisable in these aged pa-
+tients .

+has been successful repair in 16 cases .
+ at present, hypothermia with a surface cooling method has proved to be
+superior to the artificial heart-lung machine because of the simplicity
+and the good operative results with its use . in addition, early

+ 3. similar inhibitory effects of the antiserum and complement on
+lactate-production of the cells from glucose, fructose-1, 6-diphosphate,

+ the activity of lymphocytes within outgrowths from explanted tissue
+fragments of 20 human lung cancers has been studied . the study included
+cancer-bearing tissue explants from all cases and noncancerbearing lung

+behavior were derived from the study, namely.. (1) emigration and
+migration of lymphocytes from the explant,. (2) clustering of
+lymphocytes around /target/ cells,. (3) ameboid transformation of
+lymphocytes,. (4) lymphocytic congregation,. and (5) emperipolesis .

+ble and nonviable lymphocytes within the vacuoles of other cells . this
+observation is considered to be an absolute criterion for the recogni-
+tion of emperipolesis . a subsequent /inclusionbody/ appearance of the
+dead lymphocytes has been observed . (2) the intimate relationship of
+ameboid forms of lymphocytes to selected cells, resulting in a
+juxtanuclear and frequently unipolar crowding of one cell by numerous
+lymphocytes while nearby cells were totally devoid of ameboid
+lymphocytes . reasons are given to support the impression that this

+lym phocytes rapidly increased to high maximum levels at 3 days .
+analysis of the labeling curves and grain counts indicates that the
+population of marrow lymphocytes is maintained in a dynamic steady state
+with an average turnover time of 3 days or less .
+ suspensions of bone marrow cells were isolated from the circulation
+within intraperitoneal diffusion chambers after short-term labeling with
+tritiated thymidine in vivo . although very few small lymphocytes were
+labeled when introduced into the diffusion chambers, a considerable
+percentage became labeled during the subsequent culture period .
+ tritiated thymidine was also administered intravenously whilst
+excluded from one hind limb by the application of an occlusive
+compression bandage for 20 minutes . very few labeled small lymphocytes
+were found after 72 hours in the tibial marrow of the initially occluded
+limb, whereas the normal high percentage was labeled in the control
+tibial marrow .
+ these experiments do not demonstrate any large-scale influx of small
+lymphocytes from the blood stream into the marrow parenchyma . they
+suggest that newly formed small lymphocytes appear in the marrow as a
+result of the division of locally situated precursor cells, but the
+mechanism of intramedullary lymphocytopoiesis is uncertain .

+surgical treatment of atrial septal defect under hypothermia .

+for direct visual correction in 133 consecutive cases of atrial septal
+defect of the secundum variety and the associated anomalies .
+ the use of extracorporeal circulation combined with hypothermia was
+reserved for the repair of two cases of ostium primum defects .
+ the over-all operative mortality was 4 .
+ post-operative evaluation showed that the results have been good in
+almost all patients, including those with pulmonary hypertension .
+ since an ostium primum defect requires cardio-pulmonary bypass for its
+closure, the pre-operative recognition of the defect is highly desirable
+in the selection of patients for operation and in planning the procedure
+itself .
+ the information derived from the clinical examination and appropriate

+not a problem .

+covered in relatively high titers from the
+lungs (10 pfu per g) during the per-
+iod when pneumonia developed; viremia
+was also present, but virus titers in the
+blood stream remained much below those
+in the lungs. histologically, vaccinia
+pneumonia was characterized by large swollen
+mononuclear cells giving rise to
+marked widening of alveolar septa. only
+scattered neutrophils were noted, usually
+in association with cell necrosis. exudation
+of edema fluid and red cells into al-
+veoli was considered the result of viral
+replication and cytopathic effect on cells
+comprising alveolar septa. various forms
+of vaccinia virus were observed by elec-
+tron microscopy within both 'type i' and
+'type ii' alveolar lining cells, capillary
+endothelial cells, and interstitial cells
+within alveolar walls. these infected inter-
+stitial cells were probably derived from
+fixed macrophages and were noted also
+around bronchioles. virus particles were
+similarly observed in bronchiolar epi-
+thelium and surrounding smooth muscle
+cells. the earliest pathologic ultrastruc-
+tural change noted in virus infected cells
+was intracellular edema, evidenced by
+low electron density of the background
+cytoplasmic material and dilatation of the

+inclusions and alveolar lining layer to fetal maturation and experimentally
+produced respiratory distress
+the lungs in 69 fetal and newborn lambs
+were studied. osmiophilic inclusion bodies
+first appeared at about 121 days gestation
+and their total number increased with
+maturation. normal surface activity of
+lung extracts was detectable a few days
+following the appearance of inclusion
+bodies. the excretory nature of the type ii
+alveolar epithelial cell, the phospholipid
+nature of the inclusion body content, the
+decrease in the number of inclusion
+bodies and their loss of density associated
+with respiratory distress and with the
+loss of normal surface activity of lung ex-
+tracts provide strong evidence that
+inclusion bodies are the source of pulmonary
+surfactant. a dense osmiophilic alveolar
+lining layer in mammals is described.
+since the presence of such a layer is
+well correlated with surface tension values
+and the number of inclusions, it is
+suggested that this layer consists of surface
+active substances. the difficulty in
+detecting such an osmiophilic layer in other
+mammals is thought to be, at least
+in part, due to species differences in the compo-
+sition of materials constituting the
+pulmonary surfactant. cytologic immaturity
+exists until lamb fetuses reach 135
+days gestation. this is considered to be the
+basis for the susceptibility of immature
+lambs to respiratory distress. fibrin with
+230 a periodicity is a component,
+although a small one, of hyaline membranes in
+lambs. in view of the fact that mature
+fibrin appearing as bundles of fibrils is rare-
+ly found, it is suggested that the bulk
+of the hyaline membrane is not a mature fi-
+brin, but probably consists of polymers
+of fibrinogen and serum protein.

+peripheral nerves undergoing degeneration
+are favorable material for studying the
+types, origins, and functions of lysosomes.
+the following lysosomes are described
+(a) autophagic vacuoles in altered schwann
+cells. within these vacuoles the myelin
+and much of the axoplasm which it encloses
+in the normal nerve are degraded (wal-
+lerian degeneration). the delimiting
+membranes of the vacuoles apparently form
+from myelin lamellae. considered as
+possible sources of their acid phosphatase are
+golgi vesicles (primary lysosomes), lysosomes
+of the dense body type, and the endo-
+plasmic reticulum which lies close to the vacuoles.
+(b) mebranous bodies that accu-
+mulate focally in myelinated fibers in a zone extending
+2 to 3 mm distal to the crush.
+these appear to arise from the endoplasmic reticulum
+in which demonstrable acid
+phosphatase activity increases markedly within 2 hours
+after the nerve is crushed.
+(c) autophagic vacuoles in the axoplasm of fibers
+proximal to the crush. the break-
+down of organelles within these vacuoles may have
+significance for the reorganization
+of the axoplasm preparatory to regeneration.
+(d) phagocytic vacuoles of altered
+schwann cells. as myelin degeneration begins, some
+axoplasm is exposed. this
+is apparently engulfed by the filopodia of the schwann
+cells, and degraded within the
+phagocytic vacuoles thus formed. (e) multivesicular
+bodies in the axoplasm of myelina-
+ted fibers. these are generally seen near the nodes of ranvier.

+syndrome
+maturation and pathologic alterations of the lung
+in 19 newborn infants who died of idiopathic respiratory
+distress syndrome were studied by light-and electron
+microscopy. normal lungs from 6 fetuses and 11 new-
+borns served as controls. in all infants with idiopathic
+respiratory distress syndrome, respiratory bronchio-
+les and alveolar ducts usually presented the histologic
+pattern of mature lungs, i.e. they were predominantly
+lined by type i cells, which also formed the epithelial
+component of most blood-air barriers. well expanded
+alveoli exhibited a similar pattern, whereas collapsed
+alveoli were lined by numerous type ii cells which par-
+ticipated in the formation of poorly developed blood-air
+barriers. the capacity of type ii cells to produce in-
+clusion bodies seemed to increase with survival beyond
+the 14th hr of age. secretion of inclusion bodies and
+presumably surfactant into alveolar spaces did occur
+but only in the lungs of infants older than 2 days. how-
+ever, this process was not accompanied by reduction
+in the number of type ii cells per alveolus as in the nor-
+mal lung. the distribution of pathologic changes in idio-
+pathic respiratory distress syndrome appeared to be
+determined by the degree of maturity of the air sacs.
+structurally mature air sacs were associated with da-
+mage of epithelial lining and hyaline membrane forma-
+tion. in contrast, collapsed alveoli revealed an intact
+epithelial lining and marked septal edema but were free
+of hyaline membranes. the findings of this study sug-
+gested that transudation of plasma through well develop-
+ed blood-air barriers was responsible for epithelial
+damage and hyaline-membrane formation in air sacs.
+they also suggested that alveolar collapse and presuma-
+bly lack of surfactant were related to abnormal matura-
+tion of the epithelial lining and to septal edema.

+osmiophilic inclusions have been observed in the
+lungs of rats particularly in the 20-day rat embryo and
+newborn up to 3 days post partum. these inclusions
+are present in the large alveolar cells as dense lamin-
+ated structures of variable size and configuration. they
+generally consist of concentrically arranged membranes
+and have the appearance of myelin figures, usually with
+a dense center. these osmiophilic inclusions are fre-
+quently seen in direct contact with the cell membranes
+and the alveolar space. the alveolar space contains
+numerous osmiophilic myelin figures which are thought
+to originate from the intracellular osmiophilic inclu-
+sions. they may extrude through a channel formed in-
+side the cell or by rupture of the cell membrane. secre-
+tion materials may occasionally be seen in the cyto-
+plasm of the large alveolar epithelial cells. these cells
+appear to be in the process of degeneration. their cell
+surfaces are disrupted and the cytoplasm is continuous
+with materials in the air space. the lattice structure
+in the alveolar space may originate from the cytoplas-
+mic secretion material. the cytoplasmic secretion ma-
+terial in the cell and the lattice structures in the air
+space disappear after the rats are 3 days old. (i,t*)

+can be explained by the proliferative capability and the
+phagocytic activity of the choroid epithelium. choroidal
+epithelial cells can be regarded as fixed macrophages
+which becomes wandering phagocytes after detachment.
+disintegration of these foamy cells then releases the
+lipid content into the interstitium and provokes a re-
+sponse of macrophages and multinucleated giant cells
+of the foreign-body type. hemorrhage is also considered
+as a factor involved in the formation of xanthogranuloma.

+4. mixed hematopoietic and pulmonary origin of 'alveolar macrophages' as
+demonstrated by chromosome markers
+the origin of alveolar macrophages was investiga-
+ted in mouse chimeras in which the hematopoietic cells
+could be identified by marker chromosomes. by chro-
+mosome analysis it was found that in both normal lungs
+and in lungs exposed to an irritant, approximately two-
+thirds of the dividing cells which could be recovered by
+lung washing arose from the hematopoietic system and
+one-third were of pulmonary origin.

+632. pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. a study using enzyme histochemistry,
+electron microscopy, and surface tension measurement
+lung biopsies from 4 patients with pulmonary al-
+veolar proteinosis were studied using histochemical me-
+thods, electron microscopy, and surface tension mea-
+surement. the lipid-rich intraalveolar fluid contained
+material with the staining reactions and ultrastructure
+of phospholipid. although many alveoli were lined by
+enzymatically active, secreting granular pneumonocy-
+tes, extracts of proteinotic tissue were not surface
+active, and, in fact, inhibited normal surfactant. some
+of the cells free in the intraalveolar material were de-
+generating sloughed granular pneumonocytes. at the
+margins of the lesions were lipid-filled macrophages
+which appear to play a role in the removal of the mate-
+rial. these observations indicate that alveolar protein-
+osis is not a primary overproduction of surfactant and
+are consistent with the concept that the alveolar clear-
+ing process is defective in this disease.

+1688. surface phenomena in lungs in health and disease
+in summary, the authors have attempted
+to bring together the multiple observations
+which seem germane to the understanding
+of surface phenomena in lungs in health
+and disease. to this end, the contributions
+of anatomists and pathologists on the
+fine structure of alveolar cells and their
+lining are fundamental. the concepts of
+alveolar stability required the special
+insights of physiologists who were concerned
+with the causes of bubble stability as
+they related to the particular problems posed
+by a lung of several millions of bubbles
+arranged in parallel. soon the contributions
+of the chemists became significant as
+methods of identification and assay of the al-
+veolar lining material were of interest.
+clinicians asked what relevance these studies
+had to atelectasis as it occurs in disease,
+and soon the question of when the surfac-
+tant appeared in development occurred to
+those concerned with premature infants.
+students of metabolism began to focus on
+the lung as a site of phospholipid synthesis,
+and their tools seem most promising at
+this time in unearthing possible errors in
+metabolism which may express themselves
+in disease. surgeons who undertake per-
+fusion of the isolated lung ask the
+requirements of that organ with respect to the
+nutrients and environment of the alveolar
+cells, and anesthesiologists inquire into
+the possibilities of mechanical injury
+to the alveoli during artificial respiration.
+the problems posed to the reviewers
+of a subject which touches so many disciplines
+are obvious. doubtless some pertinent
+studies have been omitted although uninten-
+tionally; others may have been
+misinterpreted through lack of qualifications as spe-
+cialists in all specialties. the
+authors hope they have provided evidence that the
+forces of surface tension cannot
+be ignored in an organ with an air-liquid interface
+of some 70 m2. they further hope
+they have described some of the properties of
+the film at the alveolar-air interface
+which operate to produce stability of the alveoli.
+they hold the belief that study of the
+metabolism of the alveolar lining layer will
+further their understanding of a number
+of disease processes in which it may be
+altered. and lastly, they hope for much
+closer communication between workers in
+many disciplines who can elucidate this
+remarkable subject best through cooperative
+studies.

+1689. alterations in pulmonary surface active lipids during ex-
+posure to increased oxygen tension
+the syndrome of progressive respiratory
+distress, pulmonary edema, and increased
+pulmonary surface tension was induced in
+8 dogs by exposure to oxygen tensions
+greater than 550 mm hg for 44.5 and 52
+hours. pulmonary surfactant was extracted
+by endobronchial washing for measurement
+of lipid composition and surface activity.
+five dogs developed respiratory distress
+without pulmonary edema. in these dogs
+endobronchial wash surface tension was
+normal or slightly increased, and total
+lipid distribution was essentially normal.
+esterified fatty acids in the lecithin frac-
+tion were consistently altered with a
+reduction in palmitate and total saturated fatty
+acids. three dogs developed pulmonary
+edema with increased surface tension, in-
+creased total lipid and protein, and
+relatively decreased total phospholipid in the
+endobronchial washings. esterified
+fatty acids in the lecithin fraction were marked-
+ly altered with palmitate levels about
+1/3 normal. esterified arachidonate was pre-
+sent that was attributed to intra-alveolar
+plasma. electron micrographs of the lung
+after oxygen exposure showed thickening
+of alveolar basement membrane and altera-
+tions in the structure of the lamellar bodies
+of the type ii alveolar epithelial cells.

+3805. cisternal fluid oxygen tension in man
+measurement of cerebral oxygen tension
+in man has been hampered by technical dif-
+ficulties. the authors present a method
+in which a beckman microelectrode was
+introduced into the cisterna magna and
+oxygen tension measured, the hypothesis
+being that measurement of oxygen tension
+in a fluid which equilibrates with the
+average cerebral oxygen tension should
+give reliable measure of cerebral oxygen
+tension. in their subjects, inhalation of
+pure oxygen produced an increase in the
+oxygen tension in the cisternal fluid as
+well as in the arterial blood without any
+alteration of the oxygen tension in the
+bulb of the internal jugular vein, whereas
+inhalation of 95% oxygen and 5% carbon
+dioxide increased the oxygen tension in the
+cisternal fluid as well as in the arterial
+and venous blood. 5% carbon dioxide in
+air produced an increase in the cisternal
+oxygen tension; a fall in arterial blood
+pressure associated with the introduction
+of the suboccipital needle was accom-
+panied by a decrease in cisternal oxygen
+tension which then rose simultaneously with
+the increase in arterial blood pressure
+that followed infusion of dextran. intravenous
+injection of xanthinol niacinate induced
+in all patients a more or less pronounced fall
+in arterial blood pressure and at the
+same time the cisternal oxygen tension fell;
+administration of aramine was associated
+with a rise in arterial blood pressure
+plus a rise in cisternal oxygen tension.

+csf ph was shown in a prior report to

+to further evaluate the possible role of
+csf acid-base equilibria in the regulation
+of respiration, 20 peruvian andean na-
+tives were studied at altitudes of 3,720-4,820 m.
+in 10 subjects at 3,720 m, means
+were csf ph 7.327, pco, 43, hco3-21.5,
+na+136, k+2.6, cl-124, lactate 30 mg/
+100 ml. arterial blood ph 7.43, pco, 32.5,
+hco3-21.3, na+136, k+4.2, cl-107,
+hematocrit 49, sao, 89.6. in 6 subjects at
+4,545 m and 4 at 4,820 m csf values
+were not significantly different; mean arterial
+pco, was 32.6 and 32.3, respectively.
+the only significant variations with altitude
+were the expected lowering of pao, to
+47 and 43.5 mm hg, and of sao, to 84.2 and
+80.7, and increase of hematocrit to
+67% and 75%, respectively. the natives
+differed from recently acclimatized sea-
+level residents in showing less ventilation
+(higher pco,) in response to the ex-
+isting hypoxia, and less alkaline arterial
+blood. the difference appears to relate
+to peripheral chemoreceptor response
+to hypoxia rather than central medullary
+chemoreceptor.

+and cisternal fluid compared with plasma ultrafiltrate
+in 7 cats the concentrations of na,
+k, ca, mg, and cl were measured in plasma
+ultrafiltrate, newly formed choroid
+plexus fluid, and cisterna magna fluid. the
+choroid plexus fluid did not differ
+from plasma ultrafiltrate in cl and k concentra-
+tion but contained higher na, markedly
+higher mg, and lower ca concentrations
+than the ultrafiltrate. cisterna magna
+fluid differed from the ultrafiltrate with
+respect to all 5 electrolytes, containing
+higher concentrations of cl, na, and mg
+and lower concentrations of k and ca.
+it differed from choroid plexus fluid in con-
+taining a higher concentration of cl but
+lower concentrations of k, ca, and mg.
+hco3-concentration, calculated on the
+basis of the charge balance, was 7 mm/kg
+h2o higher in choroid plexus fluid than
+in cisterna magna fluid, suggesting an ele-
+vated ph at the former site. without
+measurement of the potential difference be-
+tween the csf and plasma, definitive
+conclusions could not be drawn as to which
+cations were actively transported. the fact
+that the distribution ratio between cerebro-
+spinal fluid and ultrafiltrate of one divalent
+cation was in the opposite direction
+from that of the other, and that this was
+also true of the monovalent cations, was
+taken as evidence that the mechanisms
+involved in cation transfer are quite selec-
+tive. though not proven, active transport
+was considered the most likely explana-
+tion of these findings. the data suggest
+that these specific transfer mechanisms
+subserve a homeostatic function with
+regard to mg and k in the cerebrospinal fluid.

+during breath-holding and the valsalva maneuver
+continuous recordings of arterial and

+gen saturation, carbon dioxide tension,
+ph, sodium and potassium, together with
+peco2, blood pressure, and
+electroencephalogram were obtained to compare the
+effects of inspiratory and expiratory
+breath-holding and the valsalva maneuver on
+the cerebral circulation and cerebral
+oxygen availability in man. during the inter-
+val of tolerated breath-holding for
+69 seconds or less, jugular venous oxygen tension
+was increased owing to increased
+cerebral blood flow resulting from an increase
+of arterial carbon dioxide tension.
+there was a statistically significant correlation
+between changes in jpo2 and paco2,
+which proved to be more or less linear for
+both increases and decreases of paco2 4 mm.
+above and below control levels. no
+threshold was found for changes in paco2
+altering effective cerebral perfusion and
+cerebral venous po2, extremely small
+changes in paco2 (less than 1 mm. hg)
+altered cerebral oxygen availability within
+10 to 20 seconds. during the valsalva
+maneuver a consistent reduction of jugular
+oxygen tension was found associated
+with the sudden fall in arterial blood
+pressure and reduction of arterial carbon
+dioxide tension. the rapid changes in
+cerebral hemodynamics and cerebral oxy-
+gen availability during the procedure

+2344. respiratory and cardiovascular changes during rapid spon-
+taneous variations of ventricular fluid pressure in pa-
+tients with intracranial hypertension
+in patients with intracranial hypertension
+the ventricular fluid pressure (vfp)
+curve is characterized by 3 main forms
+of spontaneous variations. two of these
+forms are of a rhythmical nature, and
+are here called 1-per-minute waves and 6-
+per-minute waves, respectively, in
+accordance with the dominating frequency.
+the third form - irregularly appearing
+waves of large amplitude and duration -
+is called plateau waves in accordance
+with the usual shape of the fluctuations.
+respiratory and cardio-vascular changes
+accompanying these variations of the vfp
+were studied by simultaneous recording,
+in various combinations, of the vfp, the
+pulmonary ventilation, the pco2 of the
+expiratory air, the arterial and the venous
+blood pressure, and the pulse frequency.
+it was found that the rhythmic vfp vari-
+ations of the 1-per-minute type occurred
+synchronously with the respiratory peri-
+ods in cheyne-stokes breathing.
+synchronously appearing variations in systemic
+blood pressure, in pulse frequency,
+as well as in consciousness and in muscular
+tone of the limbs were also noted. the
+respiratory midposition shifted towards the
+inspiratory side during the periods of
+hyperpnoea. the 6-per-minute waves were
+entirely synchronous with variations
+in the systemic arterial blood pressure of the
+traube-hering-mayer type. long
+sequences of these waves were observed only
+when the vfp level was considerably
+elevated. the plateau waves were not accom-
+panied by corresponding elevations of
+the arterial or venous systemic blood pres-
+sure. simultaneously with the crests
+of the plateau waves sudden changes often
+occurred in the pulse frequency (from
+bradycardia to tachycardia), and in the res-
+piratory pattern, sometimes also in the
+degree of consciousness and in the muscu-
+lar tone. there were also long sequences
+of 6-per-minute waves. the deep, irre-
+gular breathing seen in this stage induced
+a considerable hypocapnia preceeding
+the final critical fall in the vfp ending the
+plateau wave. in most instances, how-
+ever, this fall did not begin until several
+minutes after the appearance of the hypo-
+capnia.

+exposed to oxygen at high pressure
+adult female rats paralyzed by repeated exposures
+to oxygen at high pressure were found to have cns le-
+sions of 2 types (1) focal necrosis of individual neurons
+within certain nuclear groups, and (2) complete or partial
+necrosis of nuclear groups with frequent damage to mye-
+lin, axons, and glia in the area involved. both types
+were usually bilateral and symmetrical. lesions of the
+first type were found consistently in the superior olivary
+complex, ventral cochlear nuclei, and nuclei of the spinal
+tract of cranial nerve v. lesions of the second type were
+found consistently in the substantia nigra and globus pal-
+lidus, were frequent in the rhinencephalon, and never
+occurred in the neocortex.

+747. electrode size and tissue po2 measurement in rats exposed
+to air or high pressure oxygen
+a comparison has been made of values of
+po2 recorded in several rat tissues with
+60-u or 330-u flexible gold electrodes.
+although qualitatively both sizes of elec-
+trodes give similar results, the quantitative
+values of po2 differ. such large differ-
+ences as are found in some cases between
+electrodes varying only in physical di-
+mensions are thought to reflect the amount
+of trauma caused in the tissue under in-
+vestigation due to electrode insertion.
+errors in po2 estimations due to tissue da-
+mage are considered to outweigh any other
+errors such as those due to electrode
+calibration. soft, highly vascular tissues,
+such as liver, kidney and spleen, which
+show macroscopic bruising over quite a
+large area when electrodes are inserted,
+show the greatest difference in estimations
+of the po2 value. recordings of tissue
+po2 were made while animals breathed air
+and when compressed to 4 or 5 atm. in
+pure oxygen, and the pattern of response of
+tissue po2 to such exposure of the ani-
+mal to high pressures of oxygen is described.

+3384. adrenergic effects in splenic po2 of rats in air or oxygen
+at 5 atmospheres
+oxygen tensions have been measured
+in the spleens of rats breathing air and during
+exposure of the animals to 5 atm abs
+of oxygen (hpo). the response of splenic po2
+to compression was complex, usually
+reaching a peak value immediately after com-
+pression, then falling to a lower value.
+this form of response has been termed a
+hump response. after adrenalectomy
+or bretylium tosylate injection the hump res-
+ponse of po2 after compression was
+almost abolished, and the values of splenic po2
+at 5 atm were considerably higher
+than in control animals. a combination of adrena-
+lectomy and bretylium tosylate also
+markedly reduced the number of hump responses,
+but unexpectedly significantly lowered
+splenic oxygen tensions, both when the ani-
+mals were under ambient conditions
+or at 5 atm of oxygen. cardiac rate and blood
+pressure were studied in an attempt
+to find the explanation of this latter effect, and
+while blood pressure was the same
+in adrenalectomized rats and control rats after
+bretylium injection, adrenalectomy
+potentiated the bradycardia produced by brety-
+lium tosylate.

+riod and survival time of mice at 5 atm
+absolute oxygen, lung damage in rats ex-
+posed to 5 atm oxygen for 1 hr., and post
+ohp paralysis in rats following deep
+pentobarbital-na anesthesia and ohp at 4
+atm for 30 min. 2,5-bis (1,1-dimethyl-
+propyl) hydroquinone gave excellent
+protection against ohp toxicity in all tests,
+and several other antioxidants also
+protected against ohp toxicity but their potency
+and effectiveness varied for the
+different criteria of oxygen poisoning tested in the
+experiments.

+3716. glycolytic control mechanisms. i. inhibition of glycolysis
+by acetate and pyruvate in the isolated, perfused rat heart
+acetate or pyruvate had similar effects
+on the over-all metabolism of glucose. gly-
+colytic flux was decreased in both the
+presence and absence of insulin, glucose
+oxidation was greatly decreased, and
+the conversion of glucose to glycogen and lac-
+tate was promoted. glucose phosphorylation
+was decreased in the presence but not
+in the absence of insulin. hexokinase,
+phosphofructokinase, glyceraldehyde phos-
+phate dehydrogenase, and pyruvic kinase
+are far displaced from equilibrium, while
+the other enzymic steps of glycolysis
+are maintained either at equilibrium or fairly
+close to equilibrium. in different metabolic
+situations, glycolytic flux may be affec-
+ted by those steps which are far displaced
+from equilibrium. increased levels of
+the hexose monophosphates, and decreased
+levels of the other glycolytic inter-
+mediates between fructose 1,6-diphosphate
+and pyruvate after the addition of 10 mm
+acetate indicate that glycolytic flux was
+decreased by inhibition of phosphofructo-
+kinase. after the addition of 10 mm pyruvate,
+fructose 1,6-diphosphate, and triose-
+phosphate accumulated as a result of an
+inhibition of either glyceraldehyde phosphate
+dehydrogenase or phosphoglyceric kinase.
+acetate had little effect on the total con-
+tent of oxidized or reduced di- or
+triphosphopyridine nucleotides, but slightly de-
+creased the ratio of nad to nadh2
+in the cytoplasm, as estimated from the ratios
+of lactate to pyruvate and a-glycerophosphate
+to dihydroxyacetone phosphate. pyru-
+vate increased the total content of nadh2
+and nadph2 as shown both by an increase
+of fluorescence in the intact heart, and by
+tissue analyses, but the ratio of nad to
+nadii2 in the cytoplasm was greatly
+increased. these results demonstrate com-
+partmentation of pyridine nucleotides
+between cytoplasm and mitochondria in the
+intact cell. after the addition of acetate,
+citrate was the only intermediate of the
+citric acid cycle which increased greatly
+in amount, while oxaloacetate levels de-
+creased. after the addition of pyruvate,
+the levels of citrate, a-ketoglutarate, ma-
+late, and oxaloacetate were all greatly
+elevated. the glutamic-oxaloacetate trans-
+aminase reaction as measured from the
+total contents of the reactants in the tissue
+remained close to equilibrium. changes
+in the concentrations of the adenine nu-
+cleotides were insufficient to account for
+the inhibition of phosphofructokinase, but
+the results are consistent with control at this
+step being mediated by citrate.

+conditions
+oxygen tensions were recorded continuously

+absolute. mean rises to 620 mm.
+hg and 320 mm. hg for tumours and normal tissues
+respectively were recorded.
+with patients breathing air at atmospheric
+pressure 22/90 (24%) of tumour elec-
+trodes registered po2values of less than 4 mm. hg
+compared to only 2/39 (5%) of normal
+tissue electrodes. the results obtained
+suggest that oxygen polarography as a meth-
+od for determining po2 in 'solid' tissues
+in vivo is complicated by many artefacts -
+particularly tissue damage due to electrode
+trauma - which reduce its value to clin-
+ical research concerned with accurate
+information of absolute po2 values in intact

+a method was described for measuring
+the ph, dc and ac potentials concurrently
+on the cerebral cortex of the adult cat,
+under conditions of controlled ventilation.
+kittens and rabbits were also studied.
+the cortical ph response to i.v. nahco3
+was acidic and was accompanied by a
+dc negativity, while the blood became alkaline.
+such an acidic response was present in
+the rabbit and kitten. it was not present
+in a number of other tissues in the cat,
+including the dura. the cortical acidic
+response was not affected, qualitatively,
+by i.v. acetazolamide, prolonged hypoxia
+or 10% (v/v) co2. it was reduced reversibly
+by 20% (v/v) co2. it was not affected
+by removal of the arachnoid membrane.
+the cortical ph response to an i.v. nh4+
+salt solution was complex. nh4c1 did not
+produce an alkaline response. the cortical
+ph response to an alkaline or an acidic
+sodium phosphate solution was augmented
+but not changed in its direction following
+treatment of the cortex with n-butanol.
+the results were interpreted in terms of
+a restriction of hco3- by the blood-brain
+barrier, through which co2 can pass. this
+restriction is probably non-specific for
+inorganic ions, and perhaps for other
+substances. it does not appear to be related
+to a low cerebral extracellular space,

+7083. brain damage and paralysis in animals exposed to high pressure oxygen -
+pharmacological and biochemical observations
+single exposures of high pressure oxygen
+(ohp) at 30-66 gauge pressure caused
+cns damage and paralysis in rats and mice
+but guinea-pigs, rabbits, and man did
+not show such sequelae. the cns damage
+in rats was greatly increased by cns-de-
+pressant drugs (pentobarbital, paraldehyde,
+n2o and phencyclidine) given before ex-
+posure to ohp. the cns lesions were also
+potentiated by raised respired pco2, by
+acetazolamide and by nh4c1, whilst protection
+was afforded by methaemoglobinae-
+mia by tham, by 2 4-dinitrophenol and by
+serotonin against the barbiturate and
+co2 potentiation of ohp brain damage.
+ohp-induced brain damage was not modified
+by hypothermia (cp2), electroconvulsive
+shock treatment during ohp, cerebral x-
+irradiation, adrenalectomy or cortisone,
+slow decompression rates, spinal block
+with local anaesthetic, 'conditioning' of
+rats to ohp, hyper- and hypoglycaemia, or
+alterations in tissue histamine levels.

+oxygen consumption of slices from the liver

+phragm was determined in rats aged 5, 10,
+14, 20 and 25 days and in adult animals.
+under hypoxic conditions (gas phase 10%
+oxygen, 90% nitrogen) oxygen consumption
+of liver slices and diaghragm is decreased
+by about 25% in all age groups. hypoxia,
+however, did not affect oxygen consumption
+of slices of the cortex from 5-day-old
+rats and its inhibitory effect only appeared
+later as the normal oxygen consumption
+started to rise. the inhibitory effect of

+cerebral dysfunction
+to analyze cerebral influences modifying
+autonomic respiratory responses, the
+authors compared normals and patients
+with bilateral pyramidal tract disease for
+their ventilatory response to hypoxia and
+hypoxia-hypercapnia. during eucapnia,
+the 2 groups showed similar hypoxic
+responses. during hypercapnia, the ventilatory
+response to hypoxia was greater in the
+brain-damaged subjects. this apparent aug-
+mentation, however, was due entirely
+to anoxia interacting with an abnormally fa-
+cilitated carbon dioxide sensitivity
+compared with normals, brain-damaged patients
+at pao,90-100 mm hg showed an 85%
+greater co2 response, and at pao,50mm hg
+showed a 79% greater co2 response.
+since cerebral dysfunction facilitated the ven-
+tilatory response to hypoxia-hypercapnia
+combined but not the response to hypoxia
+alone, the results imply that the 2
+respiratory stimuli interact centrally rather than
+peripherally.

+simultaneous plasma free fatty acid (ffa)
+and blood sugar levels were determined

+following observations were made. in con-
+trol infants the mean ffa level rose about

+constant, but the mean ffa level varied
+from 2.5 to 3 times the cord level. there
+was no significant correlation between the
+length of maternal fasting prior to delivery
+and the infant ffa level; there was,
+however, a significant negative correlation
+between the length of maternal fasting
+prior to delivery and the infant blood sugar
+level at 24 hours of age. high ffa levels

+two to four months of age and in 197
+infants eleven to twelve months of age. the
+curves relating triene tetraene ratio
+to dietary linoleate indicated approximately
+1 per cent of total calories as minimal
+linoleate requirement. the exponential
+equations relating dienoic, trienoic and
+tetraenoic acids to dietary linoleate were
+derived by computer methods. these
+yielded constants from which the minimal
+nutrient requirement could be calculated.
+the best estimates were obtained from the
+triene and tetraene data for two to four
+months' old infants and were found to be
+approximately 1.4 per cent of the caloric
+intake. the nutritive status with respect to
+linoleate may be estimated by means
+of logarithmic regression equations. the
+equation for two to four months' old infants
+is log 10 dietary linoleate = -1.087 + 0.0432
+(di - tri + tetra). the data for eleven to
+twelve months' old infants were found to have
+greater scatter and give lower triene
+tetraene ratios at comparable linoleate intakes.

+considered to be due to supplements of solid food
+to the basic diet not considered in

+74. analytic study of the a- and b-lipoprotein micellar groups
+and of nonesterified fatty acids of the plasma in normal pregnancy
+an analytical study has been made on 39
+patients, using a chemical method which
+allows the simultaneous detailed evaluation
+of the lipidic and a- and b-liproproteinic
+fractions of the plasma. in addition the
+non-esterified fatty acids have been titrated,
+the b-proteins and the uric acid assayed,
+and numerous indices and deducible ratios
+made from the data obtained. the existence
+of quantitative dyslipidemia has been
+proven, starting gradually, especially in the
+4th-5th month of pregnancy, and most-
+ly regarding the b-lipoproteins, prevalently
+the slow subfractions, greater increase
+of glycerides than phosphatides and cholesterol,
+but with a non-proportional in-
+crease of b-proteins (lower proteinic content).
+it has, moreover, been noted that
+there is a prevalent rise of free cholesterol in
+the fraction of b-lipoproteins with
+a reduction of the total esterification coefficient.
+the morphological picture of the
+lipidic rate in pregnancy shows characteristics
+which, according to the authors,

+the distribution of fatty acids in rat liver mitochondrial phospholipids
+the fatty acid composition of liver mitochondrial
+phospholipids from rats rendered
+deficient in essential unsaturated fatty acids
+has been determined, and compared
+with that of rats fed a diet containing corn oil.
+in addition to marked reductions in
+the amounts of linoleic and arachidonic acids
+esterified at the b-position of ethanol-
+amine-, inositol-, and choline glycerophosphatides,
+the deficiency resulted in ex-
+tensive changes in the distribution of saturated
+acids at both the a- and b-positions.
+palmitoleic and oleic acids were increased in
+amount in fat deficiency, and large
+amounts of docosatrienoic acids appeared in
+these 3 phospholipids. the fatty acids
+of the sphingomyelins were not altered as a
+result of essential fatty acid deficiency.
+the data demonstrate that each phospholipid
+is unique in the way in which its fatty
+acid moieties change in response to feeding

+2579. measurement of aortic regurgitation by upstream sampling with continuous
+infusion of indicator
+a direct and theoretically valid method
+for the measurement of aortic regurgitation
+involves the recording of indicator concentrations
+from the left ventricle and a down-
+stream site during aortic root injection. however,
+this method has yielded erratic
+results when applied to man in the authors'
+laboratory when using the sudden in-
+jection technique. therefore, the upstream
+sampling method, using continuous in-
+fusion of indicator, was evaluated in 18 patients
+with aortic regurgitation during
+retrograde aortic and transseptal left ventricular
+catheterization. the continuous
+infusion technique was compared with the technique
+of sudden injection in 10 patients
+and with aortic valvulography in 14 patients.
+measurements of forward flow obtained
+with continuous infusions into the aortic root
+were not significantly different from
+measurements obtained with sudden injections
+into the pulmonary artery. recordings
+of indicator concentrations from the left ventricle,
+during continuous infusions into
+the aortic root, demonstrated readily evident
+equilibrium plateaus. the resultant
+measurements of regurgitant flow were highly
+reproducible and not impaired by
+nonsimultaneity of upstream and downstream
+sampling. the percentage error of
+estimate at 95% confidence limits was 22% of
+the measurement for regurgitant flow,
+13% for total flow, and 9% for the regurgitant
+fraction of total flow. the correspond-
+ing errors of estimate for the sudden injection
+technique were 4 times larger. re-
+gurgitant flow by the continuous infusion method
+ranged from 0.8-30.0 l/min, total
+flow from 3.0-36.0 l/min, and the regurgitant
+fraction of total flow from 12-86%.
+ranking of patients by the magnitudes of regurgitant
+and total flow did not correspond
+to ranking by angiographic criteria of severity.
+however, an excellent correlation
+prevailed between angiographic grade and the regurgitant
+fraction of total flow,
+demonstrating that this variable is the most meaningful
+expression of severity. the
+correlation (0.997) between the angiographic grade and
+the regurgitant fraction
+measured by the continuous infusion technique was
+clearly superior to that obtained
+with the sudden injection technique (0.894). mild
+regurgitation was equivalent to
+a regurgitant fraction of <25%, moderate
+regurgitation to a fraction of 25-50%,
+moderately severe regurgitation to a fraction
+of 50-75% and severe regurgitation to
+a fraction of >75%. it is concluded that the
+upstream sampling method during con-
+tinuous infusion of indicator, because of its
+sensitivity, reliability, applicability to
+multiple measurements, and validity in the
+presence of mitral regurgitation is the
+most useful method for quantifying aortic
+regurgitation in man.

+2950. aortico-left ventricular tunnel. a cause of massive aortic regurgitation
+and of intracardiac aneurysm
+the clinical, roentgenographic, hemodynamic
+and pathologic findings in a 14-year-
+old boy with aortico-left ventricular tunnel are
+presented. the accessory channel
+between the aorta and left ventricle resulted in
+massive aortic regurgitation, and
+the portion of the tunnel which traversed the
+ventricular septum was aneurysmal,
+displaced the posterior wall of the right
+ventricle and caused severe obstruction
+to right ventricular outflow. the presence
+of associated cardiovascular anomalies,
+in this and previously reported cases,
+suggests that the malformation is congenital
+rather than acquired. the clinical and
+hemodynamic manifestations of aortico-left
+ventricular tunnel are indistinguishable
+from those observed with the more common
+forms of aortic regurgitation, and the
+correct diagnosis can be established only by
+thoracic aortography. the malformation
+is usually recognized in childhood; since
+aortic regurgitant flow can be abolished by
+simple closure of the aortic ostium,
+and without aortic valve replacement, the
+indications for operative treatment
+differ from those which apply in aortic
+regurgitation due to a valvular anomaly.

+502. the haemodynamic implications of the bisferiens pulse
+a bisferiens carotid arterial displacement pulse
+was recorded in 10 patients with
+severe aortic valvular disease. the braunwald
+test indicated that moderately severe,
+severe, or gross aortic regurgitation was present
+in each. the absence of a peak
+systolic aortic pressure gradient in certain cases,
+particularly in those with the
+most severe regurgitation, suggested their freedom
+from an element of stenosis.
+the anacrotic wave and the peak of the aortic
+pressure pulse were found to coincide
+with the percussion and the tidal waves of the
+simultaneously recorded carotid ar-
+terial displacement curves. it is suggested that
+amplitude of the peak of the anacro-
+tic wave is proportional to the rate of change of
+momentum of the ejected blood, and
+that the amplitude of the corresponding percussion
+wave of displacement is modified by
+the distensibility of the artery. the depth and shape
+of the trough between the two
+peaks is thought to depend upon the magnitude and
+slope of the two waves rather than
+upon a venturi effect. it is suggested that the condition
+of the arterial wall, the dia-
+stolic blood pressure, and the stroke volume can
+influence the pulse sufficiently to
+preclude its use as a simple guide to the nature of
+the aortic valve lesion.

+aortic valve. hemodynamic responses to muscular exercise
+evaluations of left ventricular myocardial
+function were carried out in 14 patients
+4-16 mth after stenotic or regurgitant
+malformations of the aortic valve had been
+corrected by valve replacement. the
+circulatory responses to exercise, judged by
+the increases in cardiac output in relation
+to the increases in oxygen consumption,
+were normal or only mildly reduced in 12
+patients. in 5 patients the relationships
+between the change in the left ventricular
+end-diastolic pressure and the alteration
+in the stroke volume were also normal, a
+fall or an increase in left ventricular
+end-diastolic pressure of less than 3 mm
+hg being accompanied by an increase in
+stroke volume. in 8 patients, however,
+abnormal increases in the left ventricular
+end-diastolic pressure occurred during
+exercise, and in 4 the left ventricular end-
+diastolic pressure was increased to levels
+above 12 mm hg. variable alterations in
+the stroke volume accompanied these increases
+in end-diastolic pressure. it is
+suggested that in the 3 patients who exhibited
+simultaneous increases in left ven-
+tricular end-diastolic pressure and stroke
+volume, the changes were either a mani-
+festation of the frank-starling mechanism,
+or primarily the result of a positive
+inotropic influence. in the 5 patients who
+exhibited increases in left ventricular
+end-diastolic pressure, but no change or a
+fall in stroke volume, it is proposed
+that a distinct depression of left ventricular
+performance was present. thus, while
+the cardiac output response was adequate to
+meet the stress of exercise in the
+majority of the patients studied following aortic
+valve replacement, determination
+of the relationship between the left ventricular
+end-diastolic pressure and the stroke
+volume permitted the detection of abnormalities

+2497. pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum
+when the pulmonary valve is atretic and

+is associated with clinical findings
+similar to those in tricuspid atresia-cyanosis,
+decreased pulmonary flow, left ven-
+tricular preponderance on the electrocardiogram,
+and early death. the diagnosis
+may be confirmed by heart catheterization and
+selective angiocardiography with in-
+jection into the right ventricle, but the risk is
+great. surgery has never been suc-
+cessful in the past; but because of the equally
+hopeless prognosis on medical treat-
+ment, attempts should continue to be made.

+1635. intra-atrial pressure measurement and electrocardiography in the
+detailed diagnosis of atrial septal defect
+after discussing the possibilities and
+limitations of different methods for identifying
+the anatomical type of atrial septal
+defect, the authors suggest a more useful new
+method. this consists in simultaneous
+recording of both the pressure curve and
+endocavitary electrocardiogram during
+withdrawal of the catheter from the left into
+the right atrium. in the ostium primum
+type, the septal foramen has no infe-
+rior margin, and the point of the catheter
+during retraction (unlike in the ostium
+secundum type) rests on the intermediate
+section of the atrioventricular septum.
+the endocavitary electrocardiogram in the
+zone of passage between the two atria
+shows the typical pattern of the intermediate
+section of the atrioventricular septum;
+the pressure curve may show a pattern of the
+atrial of intravalvular type.

+phy. it is suggested that these cases represent

+the successful surgical treatment of ebstein's
+anomaly calls for accurate pre-ope-
+rative assessment of the nature and severity of
+the tricuspid valvular lesion. the
+increased risk of cardiac catheterization in this
+condition has been matched by in-
+creased experience of intracardiac techniques,
+and provided the examination is in
+skilled hands, patients with ebstein's anomaly
+should be investigated in the same
+way as those with any other serious congenital
+heart lesion for whom surgery is con-
+templated. the diagnostic value of electrode
+catheters is discussed, and the intra-
+cardiac electrocardiographic features of ebstein's
+anomaly are illustrated. false
+positive and false negative records are demonstrated
+and the mechanism of their
+production is explained. it is concluded that, though
+helpful, intracardiac electro-
+cardiographic evidence should be regarded as confirmatory
+rather than diagnostic.
+records made with electrode catheters during cardiac
+catheterization should be con-
+sidered only along with the other clinical,

+medical and pathologic aspects
+thirty-four patients with ventricular septal defect
+and aortic regurgitation, repre-

+septal defect, are discussed.
+a loud, systolic murmur, characteristic of ventricular
+septal defect, is noted dur-
+ing infancy, whereas evidences of aortic regurgitation
+(protodiastolic murmur and
+wide pulse pressure) does not usually appear until some
+time between 2 and 10
+years of age. clinical and catheterization data indicate
+that the principal hemody-
+namic load is aortic regurgitation, whereas the
+ventricular septal defect does not
+usually result in a large pulmonary blood flow or
+high pulmonary arterial pressure.
+in about 50% of the patients, a significant pressure
+gradient across the right ven-
+tricular outflow tract exists. detailed pathologic
+studies indicate that the ventricular
+septal defects are high and anterior and encroach
+to a greater or lesser degree on
+the membranous bulbar septum. the right coronary
+cusp is the one most severely
+involved, and, by its prolapse, causes aortic
+regurgitation; the noncoronary cusp
+is always less severely affected. the anatomic basis
+of the pressure gradient ob-
+served across the right ventricular outflow tract is
+not always clear.

+reviewed to determine the incidence and prognosis
+of arrhythmias related to operation.
+cases included 90 ventricular septal defects, 61
+atrial defects of the ostium secundum
+type, and 40 of the ostium primum variety.
+nodal rhythms, second degree blocks,
+complete heart block, and flutter or fibrillation that
+persisted after completion of operation
+were analyzed, while intermittent ectopic beats,
+sinus tachycardia, and bundle branch
+blocks were excluded. fifteen per cent of the
+patients with ventricular defects, 17%
+with ostium primum defects, and 35% with ostium
+secundum defects developed abnormal
+rhythms associated with repair. of 18 patients whose
+arrhythmias began during operation,
+there were 8 deaths; no fatalities occurred in the 24
+patients who developed arrhythmias
+in the postoperative period. seven deaths were
+associated with complete heart block and
+one with second degree block. although only one
+half of the patients who developed
+arrhythmias had pulmonary artery pressure greater
+than 30 mm. hg systolic, all fatalities
+occurred in this group. four of the deaths followed
+surgery with the use of the pump
+oxygenator in children under 30 months of age.

+rhythms that began in the postoperative period
+were nodal. flutter and fibrillation
+were common following repair of atrial secundum
+defects in patients over 15 yr. of age
+but did not occur in younger patients. deaths from

+septal defects
+sixty-five cases of ventricular septal defect
+were studied by left angiocardiography.
+the left ventricle was entered by retrograde
+arterial catheterization with a catheter
+having a j-shaped tip. this procedure appears
+to be little, or no more, hazardous
+than right-sided angiocardiography. ventricular
+septal defects may be divided into
+5 types, depending on their location in the ventricular
+septum. the anatomic and
+radiological features of the septum and septal defects
+are described. selective in-
+jection of contrast material into the left ventricle
+opacifies the blood passing through
+the defect in the septum and permits preoperative
+localization of the defect in rela-
+tion to identifiable anatomic landmarks. multiple
+defects of the septum are well de-
+monstrated. such information may be of
+considerable value to the surgeon under-
+taking repair of the septum. left ventriculography,
+often combined with supraval-
+vular aortography, has been used, when indicated,
+to differentiate between mitral
+insufficiency and ventricular septal defect and in
+the detection of other cardiac ano-
+malies whose manifestations are marked by those
+of the septal lesion. this tech-
+nique is well suited to the postoperative study of
+patients following repair of the
+septal defect and for follow-up studies in patients
+not operated upon to clarify the

+4105. free fatty acid metabolism in chinese hamsters
+in normal chinese hamsters (cricetulus
+griseus) the mean concentration of free
+fatty acids (ffa) in serum varied from
+group to group, but was (1) consistently 4
+to 9 times greater than in rats, dogs,
+or man; (2) slightly higher than in syrian
+hamsters; (3) two- to four-fold higher
+than in fasting or alloxan-diabetic rats. the
+epididymal adipose tissue of the chinese
+hamster (1) had initial concentrations of
+ffa comparable to those in the rat and
+syrian hamster; (2) released, in the same
+time interval, 8- to 10-fold more ffa
+in vitro than this tissue of the rat; (3) had
+higher concentrations of ffa after incubation
+than the incubated tissue of the rat.
+the retroperitoneal (perirenal) adipose tissue
+of the chinese hamster was less ac-
+tive in release of fatty acids in vitro than the
+epididymal, but was, however, more
+active than the epididymal adipose tissue of
+the rat. these characteristics of ffa
+metabolism in the chinese hamster were
+apparently attributable to species, not to
+age, diet, or sex. in the chinese hamster,
+the weight of the epididymal adipose tis-
+sue per gram of body was relatively high.
+it appears that in this species the rate of
+release of fatty acids from adipose tissue
+is great, leading to high ffa concentra-
+tions in serum. in chinese hamster and rat
+adipose tissues in vitro, glucose and in-
+sulin (separately) reduced the rate of release
+of ffa and the amount of ffa in the
+tissues, but glucose and insulin together
+produced the greatest reduction. the net
+reduction in ffa release by glucose and
+insulin in vitro was greater in tissue from
+the chinese hamster. insulin markedly
+increased glucose uptake by the adipose tis-
+sues of both species. the possible relation
+of the results to spontaneous diabetes in
+the chinese hamster is discussed.

+taneous and in oxytocin induced labour
+the nonesterified fatty acid (nefa)
+concentration of serum rises progressively
+during the course of normal labor.
+the rise appears to be related to the duration
+of labor. the use of oxytocin to induce
+and stimulate labor does not alter the normal
+pattern of rise in nefa provided it is
+given in physiologic dosage. the levels of
+nefa in the umbilical vein and the
+umbilical artery at delivery are comparable and
+always significantly lower than the
+maternal level. the maternal/fetal ratio varies
+between 1.7 1 and 3.9 1 in this series.
+following delivery the nefa levels begin
+to fall almost immediately. the rate
+of fall is 10-30% of the delivery value in the 1st
+hour, 30-50% within 18 hr. and 50-70% within 36 hr.

+1545. the effect of combined glucose and insulin infusions on
+the lipoid and carbohydrate metabolism of the parturient
+woman and of the fetus
+the infusion of glucose with insulin during delivery
+was used by the authors pri-
+marily in order to determine, whether the utilization
+of glucose can be enhanced
+under these conditions. they wanted to investigate,
+whether the increase of unesteri-
+fied fatty acids in the cord blood which takes place
+after a sole glucose infusion in
+the mother, could be caused by the low capability
+of glucose utilization in the fetus.
+the infusion during delivery which consisted of the
+application of 500 ml of 10%
+glucose and 16 u of insulin over a period of 30 min.
+brought about a greater decrease
+of unesterified fatty acids in the parturient woman
+as compared with the infusion of
+glucose exclusively. the reason for this result
+is thought to be due to a better utili-
+zation of glucose which is favorably influenced
+by insulin. during the infusion of
+glucose with insulin, an increase in the values
+of lactic and pyruvic acid took place
+in the parturient women; this was probably due
+to an accelerated glycolysis and an
+increased production of lactic acid, but not
+caused by a higher share of the anaerobic
+metabolism. in the cord blood, there were
+likewise increased values of lactic and py-
+ruvic acid as a reflection of the higher values
+of these substances in the mother. the
+formation of these products of metabolic
+breakdown by the fetus, however, was not
+significantly increased. after infusion of
+glucose with insulin, the other investigated
+parameter values, including those of the levels
+of unesterified fatty acids are found
+in the cord blood in similar amounts as after
+infusion of glucose alone. these re-
+sults cannot reliably prove the passage of
+insulin through the placenta especially
+after a continued study of the metabolic values
+in newborns. as a proof of the passage
+of insulin through the placenta could not be
+established, it is possible that after an
+intake of insulin the increase of unesterified
+fatty acids in the cord blood could be
+caused by a relative insufficiency of the insular
+apparatus of the fetus. the most
+probable reason for the increase of unesterified
+fatty acids is the different depo-
+sition and metabolization of unesterified fatty
+acids in the course of intrauterine
+life.

+the concentration of both substances was
+significantly higher in the mother than in
+the infant. the relation for free fatty acids
+was 1.7 1, that for glucose 1.3 1. the

+seven controls and 9 preeclamptic patients
+were infused with different amounts of
+epinephrine. plasma nefa, glucose and
+catecholamines were determined before,
+during and after epinephrine infusion. the
+toxemic patient responds to the metabolic
+effects of infused epinephrine in a manner
+similar to that of the normal pregnant
+patient. the increased levels of nefa in
+pregnant patients are explained by a com-
+plicated biochemical mechanism involving
+an increased availability of cortisone-like
+steroids, slightly increased amounts of thyroid,
+hormones, etc., resulting in an
+alteration of carbohydrate utilization. the study

+766. a lipid-mobilizing substance in the serum of pregnant wo-
+men, of probable placental origin
+a substance capable of inducing free fatty
+acid (ffa) release was found in the sera
+of 12 from 13 pregnant women. the rat
+epididymal fat pad was used for bioassay.
+this substance circulates in late pregnancy
+and disappears within 5 days post partum.
+it is present in crude placental extracts and
+is removed by their deproteination. it
+is nondialyzable. application of pituitary
+extraction procedure to placentae yielded
+active fractions where pituitary growth
+hormone is usually found. in accordance with
+these facts a hypothesis concerning a part
+of metabolic changes occurring during preg-
+nancy was pronounced as follows. the
+described substance diminishes maternal glu-
+cose consumption through the elevation of
+plasma free fatty acids, or by direct in-
+hibition of glucose uptake, or both. this
+permits a preferential shunting of glucose
+to the fetus. at the same time, increased
+plasma free fatty acid levels would serve
+as the alternative maternal energy substrate.
+elevated maternal insulin levels during
+late pregnancy stabilize the degree of maternal
+lipid mobilization. the contrainsulin
+properties of a substance capable of mobilizing
+free fatty acids and inhibiting mater-
+nal glucose utilization would pose a diabetogenic
+challenge, and in the face of com-
+promised maternal insulin reserves, provoke
+overt or worsen existing diabetes

+lambs. this study confirms this rise,
+caused by an augmented mobilization of these
+acids from the tissues. norepinephrine
+easily mobilizes free fatty acids in adult
+ewes. in newborn lambs this special effect
+is lacking, though cardiovascular re-
+sponses are clearly demonstrable. blocking
+the sympathetic nervous system in
+newborn lambs inhibits the rapid rise of free
+fatty acids after birth. this is com-
+patible with the concept, that increased activity
+of these sympathetic nerves after
+birth is an important factor for free fatty acids
+mobilization. during intrauterine
+life there is an ample study of carbohydrates
+and the organism uses them as an
+energy source. hypoglycaemia resulting from
+sudden carbohydrate deprivation at
+birth, demonstrates with rising free fatty acids
+the change-over to (tissue) fat as
+main source of energy.

+1163. the effect of glucose infusions on the lipoid and the
+carbohydrate metabolism of the parturient woman and
+the fetus
+in 20 parturient women who were given glucose
+infusions during the expulsive stage
+of labor, the authors were able to observe an unusual
+hyperglycemia and a decrease
+in unesterified fatty acids (uefa). the uefa-level
+usually increases regularly
+during delivery. likewise, the values of esterified
+fatty acids (efa) showed an in-
+crease above the normally present levels in women
+who had received a glucose in-
+fusion during the expulsive stage of labor. the
+results show that during delivery
+both hyperglycemia and the increase in lipoids
+are predominantly due to the energy
+demands of the organism. however, there is also
+evidence that other, hitherto un-
+known factors may play a role. in the fetus,
+the infusion of glucose leads to an in-
+creased glucose retention. the infusion, however,
+does not bring about a decrease,
+but, contrary to the expectations, an increase
+in the uefa-values. in general,
+such a reaction is not found in any of the
+subsequent periods of life. further inves-
+tigations were conducted in order to find an
+explanation for the paradox uefa-
+reaction. as shown by an analysis of the lactic
+acid and the pyruvic acid values, the
+increase in the uefa can most probably not be
+attributed to an impairment in the
+fetal metabolic conditions. the administration
+of physiological saline infusions to
+10 parturient women under equal conditions
+revealed that the cause for the uefa-
+increase can apparently neither be found in
+hemodynamic changes due to the infusion
+nor in changes of the electrolyte balance, but
+rather in an adaptation insufficiency
+of the fetal islet cells, respectively in a different
+fat mobilization or fat deposition.

+of normal and diabetic pregnant women and of their new-
+borns
+the blood glucose and plasma ffa content
+and composition of the newborns of
+normal women, gestational diabetics, and
+insulin-dependent diabetics were analyzed.
+normal maternal ffa levels were twice the
+fetal values; by 2 hr of age ffa in-
+creased 4-fold over initial values in normal
+infants, while infants of gestational
+diabetics had a 3-fold rise, and those of
+insulin dependent diabetics only 2-fold.
+blood sugar at the same time decreased and
+there was an inverse relationship be-
+tween blood glucose in the normal infants and
+ffa. this relationship is altered in
+the infant of the diabetic mother. gas
+chromatography of plasma indicated a higher
+ratio of unsaturated to saturated ffa in
+mothers compared to infants. no pattern
+differences were noted between the normal
+and diabetic mothers, except that the
+latter had higher oleic acid. in the initial 2
+hr of life, the patterns changed, although
+no differences were noted between infants
+of diabetic mothers and normals. the
+observations suggest (1) the metabolic
+interrelationships of glucose and ffa in
+the normal infant are different from those
+in the infant of the diabetic mother, the
+latter infant having a state of physiologic
+hyperinsulinism; (2) plasma ffa in the
+fetus is derived from both fetal fat synthesis
+as well as placental transfers; (3) the

+3446. effect of nicl2 on an isolated ranvier node
+an attempt was made to explain the extreme prolongation of the nodal
+potential by 0.1-1.0 mm nicl2 in terms of the ionic theory. the effects of
+nicl2 at room temperature are similar to those of temperature reduction
+decreased maximum rate of rise of the action potential, lengthened action
+potential duration, elevated threshold, increased tendency for repetitive
+activity; in addition, the amplitude of the action potential is slightly
+increased. the long-lasting plateaus of the responses obtained under the
+combined influence of nicl2 and temperature reduction are shortened by cathodal
+polarization, strong anodal polarization and decrease of (na)0. the plateau
+can be prematurely terminated by short anodal pulses of critical amplitude;
+short cathodal pulses reduce the duration of the plateau gradually with
+increasing pulse strength. increased (k)0 prolongs plateau duration; the
+steep repolarization phase which normally terminates the plateau is
+replaced by a long lasting after-depolarization with stepwise potential
+decline.
+the amplitude of k-depolarization is not influenced by nicl2 or temperature
+reduction. 1.0 mm nicl2 changes the relation between maximum rate of
+rise and steady-state polarization; the potential change required for 50%
+sodium inactivation is +8mv in normal ringer's solution and +16mv in the
+presence of 1.0 mm nicl2 (22 c.). 1.0 mm nicl2 increases the time constant
+of delayed rectification as measured in na-poor solutions at 4 c. by a factor
+of about 2. the decrease of action potential under cathodal polarization is
+slightly delayed by nicl2. it is concluded that prolongation of the nodal
+action potential by nicl2 is due to delayed and reduced inactivation of na
+permeability and delayed increase of k permeability; part of the nicl2-effect
+could be explained by assuming competition between ni++ and ca++ for specific
+sites at the membrane.

+the carcinogenic activities of s.c. administered
+n-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene
+(n-hydroxy-aaf) and a variety of its metal chelates indicate that greater
+activity locally is associated with a longer retention of the chelates at the
+site of injection with a slow release of n-hydroxy-aaf to the surrounding
+tissue. no tumors were obtained at the sites of 4 injections of n-hydroxy-aaf
+(3.2 mg. /injection), but 4 and 16 of 20 rats developed sarcomas at the
+sites of 8 and 16 injections, respectively. the nickelous, cobaltous, ferric,
+or cupric chelates induced moderate to high incidences of sarcomas with 1 or 4
+injections; in these cases one-half of the administered n-hydroxy-aaf was
+retained at the injection site for 4-50 days. the manganous and zinc chelates
+and the potassium salt were less active at the injection site; the
+half-retention times for these ranged from 2.5 hr. to 2.5 days. the comparable
+half-retention time for n-hydroxy-aaf was about 2 hr. injection of the metal
+derivatives s. c. with short half-retention times resulted in higher incidences
+of mammary tumors than injection of the derivatives with half-retention
+times of 4 or more days. when administered in the food the cupric chelate
+of n-hydroxy-aaf induced the same spectrum of tumors as n-hydroxy-aaf,
+but the incidences were lower. while the prolonged retention of the material
+at the injection site may account for the greater carcinogenic activities of
+the metal chelates, serious consideration must also be given to the possible
+importance of chelation of carcinogens or their metabolites to cellular
+constituents.

+by experimenting on single ranvier's nodes of frog isolated nerve fibres it
+was shown that, along with a marked prolongation of the repolarization
+phase of the action potential (ap), ni and cd ions also caused a rise of
+the critical membrane depolarization level and an increased ap amplitude
+with somewhat reduced steepness of its ascending phase. ni and cd ions
+restored the ap generation in the nodes of ranvier altered by a 0.01% procaine
+solution, by an excess of potassium ions 00mm/1. of kcl) or by slight
+mechanical injury during dissection. it was only with a reduced na
+concentration in the medium that the restoration of ap could be achieved.
+ni and cd ions considerably slowed down and weakened the cathodal rise of the
+critical level and the ap reduction. cysteine (10 -2 to 10 -3 m)
+eliminated all the effects of the mentioned ions. a suggestion is made that by
+binding the sh-groups of the nerve fibre proteins, nickel and cadmium reduce
+the rate of inactivation and the increase of potassium permeability in
+depolarization and also weaken the initial inactivation and the increase of
+potassium permeability in depolarization, as well as weaken the initial

+impaired the use both of color information and of the names of the colors.
+this may be explained as a disorder impairing the recollection and formation
+of associations between color names and other types of information, with
+resulting interference in any task in which colors or their names have
+to be placed in a specific context. the alternative views of willbrand (1887)
+that here a limited dysphasia, and of sittig (1921) that a recognition defect

+in voluntary control of eye movements (ocular motor apraxia). group iib those
+with persistent palsies of conjugate gaze. although these symptoms may be
+present to some extent with unilateral lesions, they are much more profound
+and less able to be compensated with bilateral lesions. the evidence in the
+present cases suggests a biparieto-temporal localization for the lesions
+causing visual agnosia, disturbances of spatial localization, and ocular motor

+this is a critical assessment of the ancient and modern theories on visual
+agnosia. an original description of the subjective world of these patients is
+also given. visual agnosia is a rare disorder, but it has led to comprehensive
+discussions, for instance, by the fact that the problem of normal visual
+perception is always involved. bay's view, which denies the existence of
+agnosia as a separate phenomenon in perception disorders, is especially dealt
+with. it is affirmed that no case has been described in the literature
+in which visual agnosia is decidedly a pure and isolated phenomenon.
+mostly there are also disturbances in the intellectual interpretation of visual
+data. often there is metamorphopsia or asthenopia. there is no localized
+prestriate gnostic center for visual impressions. the older concept of higher
+and lower levels of perception and perception disorders is also criticized.
+visual perception is not a passive, but a very active process, in which
+neurophysiological and psychological aspects are involved.
+each of these can be
+disturbed, leading to various degrees of visual perception disturbance.

+1388. optic agnosia semeiological and pathogenetic aspects
+the authors discuss the classical concept of agnosia and make a survey of
+pathogenetical factors which determine its phenomenology. the original and
+traditional concept of such a term implied the loss of the capacity to
+recognize objects, when the functions of sense organs are undamaged. the
+psychological studies on perception and the modern physiology of
+vision allow to avoid the dichotomy between sensation and perception and
+to affirm their identity. cortex and recptors are closely bound and
+function in unison.
+every cortical alteration is thus reflected in sensorial functions; it is
+therefore that on practical semeiological grounds it is possible to obtain a
+congruous information of the corresponding cortical functionality through an
+exploration of sense organs carried out by suitable means. since we are
+confronted with functional changes, exploration methods must be fit to evaluate
+dynamic aspects of perception in connection with the temporalization and
+spatialization of stimuli. such methods are now quite numerous and often
+complex a particular stress is laid on local adaptation, flicker fusion, and
+tachistoscopy on account of their significance and suitability. by such
+methods it is possible to show those functional deficits or pathological
+disturbances of sensorial functions which are also behind the pathology of
+visual recognition. fluctuation, extinction, alteration in the perception of
+movement, both real and apparent, changes in adaptation to light and
+darkness are all phenomena which can be detected instrumentally and which,
+at the same time, may be of determinant importance for the onset of 'agnosic'
+behaviour. the complexity of the latter, on the other hand, cannot always
+be explained by sensorial disturbances only other mechanisms, with a function
+complementary but not less indispensable to the dynamics of perceptive
+processes, may intervene and interfere in it. on the basis of the latest
+neurophysiological data the attention is called to ocular motility and
+proprioceptivity, centrifugal innervation of sensorial receptors, and
+vestibular afferences. a particular clinico-pathogenetical significance is
+attached by the authors to the association of lateral visual disturbances with
+altered proprioceptive and kinesthetic information from the corresponding
+half-body such association in fact is nearly always present among the factors
+responsible for the most strictly 'spatial' errors of 'agnosic' pathology. in
+the light of these pathogenetical considerations as well as of suitable
+semeiological findings, the authors deem it convenient to divide their cases
+into 3 categories with distinct clinical features (a) cases in which altered
+visual behaviour may be related to changes of the visual function and of its
+complementary mechanisms; (b) cases in which hemianopia is associated with
+a homolateral deficit of somatic proprioceptivity; (c) cases in which the
+changes in behaviour are chiefly, but not only, due to a dissolution
+of the symbolic sphere.

+2568. clinical observations on hemianopia (japanese)
+the clinical findings in 19 cases of hemianopia were analyzed. hemianopia was
+caused most frequently by vascular lesions of the central nervous mianopsia,
+and by tumors. wilbrand's prism sign, which is generally taken as evidence
+of an optic tract lesion, was positive in one case with a parietal lesion. no
+case showed a cogwheel movement of the eyeball. optokinetic nystagmus was
+positive in 3 cases, one of which proved to have a parieto-occipital aneurysm.
+the etiological factor could not be identified in the remaining 2 cases.
+macular sparing was found to be symptomatic of an occipital lobe lesion.
+incongruity of the 2 fields was observed in 2 cases with an occipital lobe
+lesion. as for the prognosis, hemianoptic field defects remained stationary in
+cases of vascular lesions. on the other hand perfect recovery of the visual
+field defect occurred in cases with an occipital lobe tumor and in hypophyseal

+375. hemianopsia and glaucoma
+after a discussion of the bibliographic references to the few observations on
+the simultaneous occurrence of hemianopsias and glaucoma the author states on
+the basis of his experiences the following points homonymous hemianopsias
+occasionally take place in glaucoma, although no direct relation can be
+established between the former and the glaucoma. it has to be pointed out,
+however, that in other older patients, for example in those with retinal
+detachment, neuritis, etc. who are likewise subjected to repeated and exact
+perimetry, such hemianopsias do not occur, or are to be found at a lesser rate
+than in glaucoma. a homonymous hemianopsia has to be taken into consideration
+also in the event of a sudden impairment of the visual field in a glaucomatous
+patient or when the hemianopic defect supervenes in addition to the visual
+field defect due to glaucoma. in cases of binasal hemianopsia, the
+simultaneous presence of glaucoma is not a rare incident. whether the
+binasal hemianopsia is the result of the gradual development of a
+glaucomatous visual field with nasal defects or whether it constitutes an
+independent symptom to a certain extent, cannot always be clarified
+in the individual case. obviously the condition of the basal cerebral
+vessels plays a certain role in the development of glaucoma, even if
+this role cannot be clearly defined as yet. in cases of
+binasal hemianopsia, a glaucoma has to be ruled out before radical diagnostic
+and therapeutic measures are carried out.

+parieto-occipital level and their significance in topical diagnosis
+paresis of ocular movements to the hemianopic side is described in 9 patients
+with acute vascular lesions in the parieto-occipital region. in 7 cases the
+paresis was of the dissociated type with inability to follow the moving finger,
+while ocular movement in a verbally stated direction was quite normal. in the
+remaining 2 patients in whom the oedema extended into the frontal region there
+was complete paresis of all conjugate movements. conjugate paresis receded
+hand-in-hand with the parietal symptomatology even if the hemianopia
+persisted. the oculomotor disorders referred to have never been observed in
+lesions which did not extend beyond the occipital region. conjugate
+paresis has in all cases drawn attention to the presence of hemianopia
+unobserved by the patients and this has led to a more accurate topical
+diagnosis.

+3 years in 19 patients with diverse syndromes. only patients with severe
+debilitating disease unresponsive to conventional therapy were treated.
+remissions occurred in 2 of 5 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, in 1
+patient each with dermatomyositis and necrotizing angiitis, 2 patients with
+psoriasis and 2 of 4 patients with atopic disease. improvement occurred in

+equivocal benefit. significant toxicity attributable to the drug

+2469. the nature of collagen disease, particularly of systemic lupus
+erythematosus (sle), with special reference to renal lesions (japanese)
+from the results of examination of 161 autopsy cases of collagen diseases,
+rheumatic fever and polyarteritis nodosa (pn) are considered as diseases of
+hyperergic nature, showing pronounced specific manifestation in particular
+organs. as the reactivity becomes lower, this specific localization becomes
+less significant and many organs become affected in sle. it may accordingly be
+supposed that sle is not a disease of hypersensitivity but one occurring in
+a state of exhaustion of reactability after prolonged sensitization. moreover,
+a sle-like syndrome arises not only in the end stage of parasepsis, nephritis,
+nephrosis and some cases of prolonged sensitization by myco.tb but also in
+pn,pss,dm and rheumatism. it may therefore be conceivable that sle is
+a syndrome rather than a separate entity. it is most important to consider
+whether sle-like symptomatology may be regarded as a process equal to
+an auto-immunization and whether the key to morphological elucidation of the
+auto-immune phenomenon may lie hidden in this problem.

+which produced 2 remissions in 6 consecutive cases total and in 4 cases
+with severe nephropathy definite remission. it should be emphasized that 5 of
+the cases reported had definite npn elevation, accordingly they are considered

+a firmly established case of lupus erythematosus with histologic
+characteristics of periarteritis nodosa and fatal hemorrhage is presented.
+immunocytochemical studies were done to explore the possibility of the vascular
+lesions being immunological in type. by immuno-fluorescent techniques
+y-globulin, human serum complement, albumin and fibrinogen were demonstrated in
+the vascular lesions. y-globulin in the renal glomeruli was associated only
+with complement. the conclusion is that lupus erythematosus is primarily an
+immunological disease with complex auto-immune mechanisms operative.

+198. early experiences with azathioprine in ulcerative colitis. a note of
+caution
+azathioprine was administered to 10 patients with ulcerative colitis classified
+as 'very severe' in 2,'moderately severe' in 7 and 'relatively mild' in 1
+patient, in conjunction with 'standard' therapy and adrenal corticosteroids in
+8 of the 10 patients. the possible beneficial therapeutic effects of
+azathioprine in this small series cannot be evaluated definitively because of
+the concurrent medication and the preliminary uncontrolled observations.
+however, clinical improvement was apparent in 8 of the 10 patients; and in 2
+patients, the favorable course occurred in the absence of steroid therapy. in
+2 additional patients, the favorable course was maintained during the
+administration of azathioprine following the discontinuance of prolonged
+steroid therapy. in 1 patient, the administration of azathioprine was
+associated with amelioration of an arthritis and pyoderma gangrenosum which did
+not respond to the use of steroids and other medication. immuno-suppressive
+observations were limited. the established delayed hypersensitivity response,
+as reflected in various skin tests, was unchanged during the administration of
+azathioprine. azathioprine had no discernible toxic effects upon the kidneys
+or the liver in 2 patients, 1 with postnecrotic cirrhosis and the other with
+serum hepatitis. gastro-intestinal symptoms (anorexia, epigastric discomfort,
+and nausea) occurred in 8 patients. mild to moderate leukopenia developed in 8
+patients and, in 2 individuals, was accompanied by thrombocytopenia. temporary
+alopecia occurred in 1 woman. the hematopoietic effects developed within 2 or
+3 wk of therapy with azathioprine at a dosage level of 4-6 mg/kg/day.
+azathioprine does not exert the rapid beneficial effect in ulcerative colitis
+noted with corticotropin and adrenal corticosteroids. therefore, its use in
+severe ulcerative colitis requiring intensive therapy probably is undesirable.
+azathioprine, on the basis of these initial observations, may be considered for
+moderately severe ulcerative colitis, under circumstances permitting controlled
+and prolonged therapeutic trial as adjunct medication, but with careful
+supervision for prevention of toxicity, especially leukopenia.

+statistics were compiled from a total of 560 cases chosen at random, of
+cirrhosis of the liver. the figures refer to the age and sex of the patients,
+as well as to the etiology and the hepatic morphology. as the date of death of
+304 of the subjects was known, it was possible to calculate the survival time
+after the diagnosis was made. only 36% survived the time of diagnosis by 1
+year, 16% by 3 years, and 8% by 5 years. these figures show that modern
+therapy of liver cirrhosis has up to now not succeeded to prolong the life of
+the majority of the victims. in many cases, however, it is possible to a large
+extent to relieve the patients' suffering by improving the appetite and the
+general condition and by eliminating ascites and periods of hemorrhage and
+stupor. particular attention should be paid to the prophylaxis of the disease
+and, by studying the survival time assessments and therapeutic reports, to the

+1959. analysis of mechanism of immunosuppressive drugs in renal
+homotransplantation
+dammin g. j.
+a long-term study of the mechanism of action of immunosuppressive drugs has
+been completed in bilaterally nephrectomized dogs with kidney homotransplants.
+over 1,000 test animals with 24 different drug protocols have been analyzed.
+increasing numbers of long surviving animals have posed many questions
+regarding the status treated host. the current drug protocol of azathioprine
+and diazoacetylserine ('azaserine') has produced 90% 50-day survivors and 50%
+100-day survivors. the following observations have been documented all
+animals on prolonged drug therapy are immunologically competent; drug therapy
+can be stopped successfully in some but not all animals; long surviving kidneys
+apparently are protected in some way in the new environment because a
+second donor kidney can be rejected while the first survives; retransplantation
+of a long surviving kidney back to its original host did not lead to a decrease
+in renal function; long surviving kidneys successfully retransplanted back
+to their original donors are rejected when transplanted to third party,
+non-drug treated recipients; immune paralysis does not account for the
+prolonged survival because the second donor kidney which constitutes a double
+dose of antigen is rejected while the first continues to survive; absorption or
+metabolism of the drug does not account for the variation in results because
+two kidneys, each from separate donors, can be rejected differentially in the
+same drug treated host; and all hosts are sensitized against the recipient and
+this sensitization continues even in those animals successfully weaned from
+drugs. additional analyses of the relationship of skin homografts and kidney
+homografts reveal the following skin homografts are universally rejected
+within 20 days by hosts treated with the drug regimen which protects kidney
+homografts sometimes permanently. when skin and kidney homografts from the
+same donor are placed simultaneously skin survival is prolonged while kidney
+survival is shortened. this paradoxical effect probably is explained by the
+production of antibodies by skin which are absorbed by the rejecting kidney.
+additional observations indicate that drug-treated animals, male and female,
+are fertile and that multiple rejection processes can produce generalized
+immunological picture in the host similar to an autoimmune disease process.

+3083. myocardial toxicity of contrast agents used in angiography
+the myocardial toxicity of many current and
+some experimental contrast agents
+has been studied in dogs, by use of a previously
+unreported method of occlusion
+retrograde coronary venography as well as the
+familiar technique of selective
+coronary arterial catheterization. the following
+conclusions appear justified in
+the light of the experiments not only the
+iodine-containing radicals with which the
+contrast agents are so often identified (acetrizoates,
+diatrizoates, iothalamates,
+etc.), but also the final salification products appear
+to be responsible for the widely
+divergent degrees of myocardial toxicity of contrast
+agents, to the point that differ-
+ent salts of the same compound behave as entirely
+different agents both chemically
+and biologically. the results seem to indicate the
+dominance of sodium ion and/or
+the protective effect of methylglucamine salts with
+respect to the myocardial toxi-
+city of current radiopaque media. reported,
+yet unexplained, electrocardiographic
+changes occurring within one to two seconds
+from the beginning of massive caval
+high-pressure injections appear to find a
+causal relationship in the myocardial ir-
+ritability induced by the distention of the
+coronary veins and the myocardial infiltra-
+tion which is intentionally enhanced with
+our retrograde injection techniques. a pe-
+culiar trait, shared in varying degrees by
+all radiopaque agents tested, is their
+ability to increase coronary blood flow.
+the clinical significance of this phenome-
+non, however, remains to be established.
+these studies re-emphasize the limita-
+tions of the standard toxicity studies conducted
+in animals. it should be clear from
+the results reported that agents to be
+administered into the coronary circulation
+demand investigation in regard to their
+potential toxicity by the methods described
+herein or variations thereof. in fact,
+similar tests should be carried out for all or-
+gans to be subjected to radiographic
+examination via the vascular bed. the authors
+hope that this presentation will stimulate
+renewed investigation, particularly in view
+of the growing clinical applications of

+unanesthetized man. i. description of techniques and their
+validation. ii. effects of respiration. iii. effects of
+muscular exercise
+a method is described which permits
+measurement of relative changes in the exter-
+nal dimensions of individual cardiac
+chambers throughout the cardiac cycle in intact,
+unanaesthetized man. it consists of
+suturing multiple radiopaque silver-tantalum
+clips to the surface of the heart at the
+time of cardiac operations. in the postopera-
+tive period, cineradiograms are
+obtained and the distances between clips are mea-
+sured on each individual frame.
+this technique has been found to be safe and has
+been employed in 68 patients without
+any complications. as a result of studies in 8
+patients utilizing biplane serial exposures,
+the effects of rotation of the heart in the
+sagittal plane during the cardiac and
+respiratory cycles were determined precisely.
+if clips were properly placed on the heart,
+the possible errors resulting from such
+rotation were found to be quite small.
+during inspiration right ventricular dimen-
+sions increased, while the opposite occurred
+during expiration and during the val-
+salva manoeuvre. left ventricular dimensions
+exhibited little change during normal
+respiration. during deep, slow inspiration,
+the changes in dimensions of the left
+ventricle lagged behind those of the right
+ventricle by 1 to 5 (generally 2 or 3) car-
+diac cycles; the magnitude of the changes in
+the dimensions of the left ventricle was
+smaller than that which occurred in the right
+ventricle. the effects on ventricular
+dimensions of light muscular exercise performed
+in the supine position were studied
+in 9 patients. the end-diastolic dimensions
+decreased by an average of 6.0% of con-
+trol in the right ventricle, and by an average of
+5.1% in the left ventricle. end-sys-
+tolic dimensions decreased by an average of 5.6%
+of control in the right ventricle
+and by an average of 6.5% in the left ventricle.
+these decreases are considered to
+approximate one-half of the resting stroke volume.
+in the 4 patients in whom the
+rate of right ventricular pressure rise was determined
+continuously, exercise re-
+sulted in an elevation of dp/dt while ventricular
+end-diastolic dimensions decreased.
+these data are interpreted to indicate that an

+five cases of aberrant coronary artery are
+presented, with emphasis on the angio-
+graphic features and differentiation from
+endocardial fibroelastosis. clinical and
+electrocardiographic features may suggest
+the proper diagnosis, but only angio-
+graphy can conclusively demonstrate the
+continuity between the pulmonary artery
+and the left coronary artery. in these cases,
+blood flow was from the pulmonary
+artery to the coronary artery (forward) in 2
+cases, and from the coronary artery
+to the pulmonary artery (retrograde) in the
+other 3. when the diagnosis of aberrant
+coronary artery is suspected, selective
+left-sided angiocardiography should be the
+angiographic procedure of choice. the differentiation
+from endocardial fibroelas-
+tosis and other myocardiopathies is usually not a
+problem with such a study, but
+may be more difficult with intravenous angiocardiography.
+with this latter type of
+study, the coronary arteries are not generally visible,
+but a persistently thin la-
+teral aspect of the left ventricular wall should suggest
+the proper diagnosis. sub-
+sequent confirmation by a left-sided injection is advisable.

+external scintillation detection of a pure dilution
+curve originating in the right ven-
+tricle has been pursued by investigators for many
+yr. the use of the soft photons
+of 125 i offers an improved method of determination
+by allowing excellent collimation
+through 2 mechanisms (1) a small half value layer
+of 2 cm in tissue, and (2) uni-
+directionality, in part due to all-or-none photoelectric
+absorption of these photons
+as compared with the pluridirectionality due to compton
+scatter in the case of 131 i.
+in 30 normal individuals, externally detected dilution
+curves from the right heart
+ventricle and arterial dilution curves obtained by arterial
+puncture are compared.
+five hundred microcuries of 125 i are injected into an
+antecubital vein. the amount
+of radiation absorbed from a 500 uc dose in an adult of
+70 kilos is 1000 to 2000
+mrads when injected in the form of 125 i iodide. the use
+of 125 i orthoiodohippu-
+rate is advised due to its short biological half-period and
+the integrated whole-body
+radiation exposure is decreased 100-fold in comparison
+with the 125 i iodide. the
+shape of the right heart curve is very similar to the arterial
+dilution curve with a
+13 5% excess of counts originating outside the right ventricle
+area. the descending
+segment of the right ventricle curve has a minimum count rate
+of only 12 2% of the
+peak of the curve as compared with the arterial curve of 10
+ 2.5%. a mean t 1/2
+of the descending down slope of the right ventricle is 1.52
+ 0.45 sec. for the right
+heart curve and 2.4 0.65 sec. for the arterial curve.

+procedure in 20 patients with atrial septal defects and 9
+patients with ventricular sep-
+tal defects is analyzed. it seems possible to perform selective
+right-heart radiocardio-
+graphy by means of external precordial detection of 125 i. the

+made during life in 42 pa-
+tients, 9 of whom had suffered recent myocardial infarction.

+areas of deceased radioactivity corresponding to the location
+of the infarction,

+constant of emptying of the left
+cavities of the heart. as regards chronologic
+information on cardiac cycles, atten-
+tion is drawn to the fact that in the pulmonary
+circulation long and short circuits
+can be demonstrated. the characteristic times
+can be measured. between the time
+that the radioactive material appears in the left
+cavities and the time that it leaves
+the carotid, there is an interval of 3-4 systoles,
+which represents the time neces-
+sary for left circular filling. the validity of
+calculation of the cardiac output with
+the stewart-hamilton formula is discussed.
+this is valid if the collimator covers
+a small volume of the principal channel. it remains
+to be shown if such a calculation
+is valid for larger cavities, or for 2 cavities, through
+which the radioactive material
+passes successively, and which have different c (t)
+functions as well as for all tissue
+'seen' by the collimator, some of which are not yet
+irrigated with the radioactive
+blood, while in other areas recirculation has already
+started. these aspects, and
+their application to the pulmonary angiogram, are
+discussed in detail. with the
+authors' technique, y-angiogram is
+especially valuable, as correc-
+tion for the time constant of the decrease of the left
+peak is based on the lengthening
+of this curve. this again serves as a basis for
+determining the left ventricular

+registration of i 131 injected into the aorta at different levels
+a technique for localizing shunts of aortic origin
+is described, based on the analysis
+of precordial records of i 131 injected at different
+aortic levels. seven patients with
+patent ductus arteriosus (pda), 1 with a
+coronary av fistula, 2 with ventricular
+septal defect (vsd), 1 with atrial septal defect
+(asd), 3 with mitral regurgitation,
+2 with aortic regurgitation and 2 with systemic
+hypertension were studied. retro-
+grade arterial catheterization by seldinger's
+technique was performed in all the
+patients, as well as right-sided catheterization
+in those with congenital cardiopathies,
+and transseptal catheterization in those with
+valvulopathies. a dose of 5-15 uc of na
+i 131 was injected at the levels of the aortic root,
+the ascending aorta, the aortic arch,
+the origin of the left subclavian artery (ductus
+level) and the descending aorta (post-
+ductus level). precordial curves were obtained by
+means of a 2-inch thallium-acti-
+vated nai crystal focused over the 3rd left intercostal
+space at the sternal margin.
+the shunt outlet can be detected by obtaining
+simultaneous venous dilution curves
+from the right chambers and the pulmonary artery.
+the latter technique was used
+in 2 patients with pda, 1 with coronary av fistula
+and 1 with vsd. these curves
+were obtained by continuous withdrawal of blood which
+had flowed through a well
+scintillation counter. the crystal pulses were carried
+to ratemeters which worked
+with the following time constants 0.01-0.15 sec for the
+precordial curves and 0.5
+sec for the venous curves. a direct recorder with a
+5-mm/sec paper speed was
+used. normal precordial curves after injecting above
+the aortic valve were obtained
+in patients with arterial hypertension, mitral regurgitation
+and asd and vsd. a
+swift downslope which fell down near the baseline level and

+technetium 99m pertechnetate has been utilized
+in the aas' laboratory for scanning the

+pool and surrounding vasculature
+is comparable to that obtained with the standard
+131 i compounds now in use. in the
+authors' hands 99m tc had the following advantages
+since they routinely utilized
+99m tc for brain and thyroid scans, it is available,
+eliminating the purchase and
+shelf decay of other materials. three to 5 mc quantities
+may be administered
+with relatively low patient radiation dosage. the
+associated high count rate permits
+rapid scanning. the identification of pericardial effusions
+is enhanced by the radio-
+activity in the stomach which in some cases becomes
+abnormally separated from

+it is shown that with tc 99m the highest
+'in vivo' counting rates are obtained for a
+given internal radiation dose, so that mea-
+surements of high statistical accuracy may
+safely be made. the y-ray energy is near
+optimum for scanning and the observation of
+transients allowing light-weight collima-
+tors to be used. while tc 99m tagged albumin
+is considered superior to risa for ap-
+plications such as brain scanning, placentography

+precordial recording of radioalbumin dilution curves
+precordial dilution curves of 185 patients were
+studied, 56 of them without cardio-
+vascular disease, 48 with central arteriovenous
+shunts and 45 with various cardiac
+diseases. collimation was not used, allowing only
+minimal quantities of radioactive
+material (0.5-2.2 uc. of i 131-tagged albumin) to be
+utilized. the precordial focusing
+zone was a critical factor in this technique. the
+application of different discrimina-
+tion factors, among them the ratio between the
+minimal concentration and the latter
+-an index proposed here - made possible the
+diagnosis in 46 of the 48 patients with
+shunts. this method was shown to be as sensitive
+as classical oximetry done during
+cardiac catheterization. the curves in pure valvular
+stenosis do not show similar
+changes to the shunts. on the other hand, these
+changes are shown in certain val-
+vular regurgitations. this fact becomes the most
+important limiting factor in the
+diagnosis of central arteriovenous shunts. cardiac
+failure does not preclude the
+diagnosis, providing one can exclude valvular
+regurgitation by other means. the
+method is thus, in spite of its limitations, of extreme
+value in diagnosing central

+ate. the squamous cell carcinomas were
+found to contain cylindrical cells with

+a reticular endoplasm which was chiefly
+vesicular, numerous free ribosomes,
+and bundles of confluent fibrils in the desmo-
+somes. the authors also observed in

+nucleus, and cells in which all the cytoplasmic
+organelles had almost disappeared
+except for tonofibrils or cells packed with
+keratohyalin and even lipid granules
+sometimes arranged in lamellar formations
+of the myelin type. the picture as a

+which was heterotransplantable with inocula
+of circa 10 cells. only 2 of the sublines
+could be heterotransplanted with inocula
+of less than 10 4 cells; 5 were heterotransplantable
+with inocula of 10 4-10 6 cells; and
+2 failed to heterotransplant, even with
+inocula of 10 6 cells. similar differences in
+heterotransplantability were observed
+among the clonal derivatives of 2 of these

+it is known that the adenoviruses 12 and

+new-born hamster. the authors made a study
+of the histogenesis of these tumors and
+examined the specific changes brought about
+in the cells by the virus infection
+malignancy, presence of viral antigen, reactions
+to superinfection. when new-born
+hamsters were inoculated in the chest with
+adenovirus 12, malignant tumors
+developed in one or two months, in 16 animals
+out of 22. these tumors presented
+an epithelial aspect and were of bronchiolo-alveolar
+origin. they were transplant-
+able in vivo; if they were cultured in vitro,
+they consisted in the first few cultures of
+macrophages, fibroblasts and epithelium.
+in subsequent passages, there was a
+progressive disappearance of the macrophages
+and fibroblasts. in some cases, the
+culture after seven passages was of a purely
+epithelial nature, and when it was
+reimplanted into hamsters at this time it
+gave rise to the rapid development of an
+epithelial tumor. in the tumor cultures,
+no adenovirus could be demonstrated.
+nor could cultures of the pulmonary tumors,
+or cultures of normal hamster lung be
+infected with adenovirus. it appears that the
+lung of the hamster in an organotyp-
+ical culture constitutes a means of choice
+for the malignant transformation of

+tion yielded absorption spectra characteristic of

+cases and bronchial metastases in over
+25%. there were 39 cases (10.3%) in the
+series with clinical features simulating
+bronchogenic carcinoma and in 24 (62%)
+of these cases there was cytologic and/or
+histologic confirmation. carcinomas of
+the pancreas presented the greatest source
+of diagnostic error accounting for more
+than one-third of the 39 cases; the primary
+site second in frequency was carcinoma
+of the kidney. bronchial metastases were
+chiefly responsible for the clinical,
+cytologic, and histologic findings compatible
+with the diagnosis of bronchogenic
+carcinoma. secondary growths in the lungs may
+present roentgenologically as solitary
+tumors indistinguishable from primary lung
+cancer. metastatic lesions in lymph
+nodes, bronchi, and lung may exhibit pleomor-
+phic features simulating squamous
+cell carcinoma. the diagnosis of bronchioloalveo-
+lar carcinoma in resected lung tissue
+is a presumptive conclusion inasmuch as the
+identical morphological features may
+be reproduced by metastases from duct or
+glandular carcinomas. the simulation
+of bronchogenic carcinoma by metastatic tum-
+ors occurs with sufficient frequency to

+starvation by arginine deprivation or treatment
+with high doses of either ultraviolet
+radiation or x-radiation. the different agents
+produced changes in nucleolar structure
+and varying accumulations of triglyceride
+and glycogen. all three agents produced
+an increase in number and size of lyso-
+somes. these were studied in acid
+phosphatase preparations, viewed by both light
+and electron microscopy, and, occasionally,
+in vital dye, esterase, and aryl sul-
+fatase preparations. ultrastructurally,
+alterations in lysosomes suggested that
+'residual bodies' developed in a variety
+of ways, i.e., from the endoplasmic retic-
+ulum, multivesicular bodies, or autophagic
+vacuoles. following all three agents,
+the endoplasmic reticulum assumed
+the form of 'rough' or 'smooth' whorls, and,
+after two of the agents, arginine
+deprivation or ultraviolet radiation, it acquired
+cytochemically demonstrable acid
+phosphatase activity. near connections between
+the endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes
+raise the possibility that in kb cells, at
+least when injured, the endoplasmic
+reticulum is involved in the formation of
+lysosomes and the transport of acid

+rate was reduced to 25 cc/kg/min when

+in the high flow group were due mainly

+thorax method in several respects; (2) meticulous
+hemostasis is essential to control
+the oozing that occurs during extracorporeal
+circulation under profound hypothermia
+until the heparin antagonist can become
+effective and body temperature can return
+to normal; (3) significant thrombocytopenia
+may develop during extracorporeal cir-
+culation, and inhibition of the thrombin-fibrinogen
+reaction by factors other than
+heparin may cause a major coagulation defect
+and may also, by mimicking the he-
+parin effect, lead to the excessive use of
+heparin antagonists; (4) pathologic changes
+in microcirculation during extracorporeal

+damage of this nature results from injury
+to the astroglia and oligodendroglia,

+clinical evidence favors lowering of the
+body temperature immediately after any
+episode of hypoxia accompanied by impor-
+tant damage to the brain. the rational
+for using dehydration is insecure and its
+results are uncertain. this treatment

+cally dissolved oxygen (po2) was measured

+948.cardiac activity in cranio-cerebral hypothermia
+the onset of hypothermia rarely alters the heart
+rate. as it deepens to 35-32, the
+rate slows, and at the level of 30-29 it usually
+amounts to only half its original va-
+lue. at 28 or below, the development of
+bradycardia is observed. after warming
+to 32 the normal heart rate is restored.
+during operations on the abdominal organs
+the heart rate is only slightly modified.
+the appearance of solitary extrasystoles is
+rare and is usually associated with stimulation
+of the diaphragm. the most marked
+changes in the heart rate are observed during operations on the heart,
+especially if
+it is excluded from the circulation. an
+idioventricular rhythm may develop before
+the heart stops beating. after removal of the
+ligatures from the venae cavae the nor-
+mal rhythm is restored. as the temperature
+falls, the excitability of the myocardium
+increases. conduction is more resistant.
+areflexia continues even during direct sti-
+mulation of reflexogenic zones. in the surgical
+stage of cranio-cerebral hypothermia
+it is clear that no significant degree of energy
+or hemodynamic insufficiency deve-
+lops, whether in experimental conditions or
+during operations on patients. at opera-
+tion a well-marked stabilization of the contractile
+power of the myocardium may be observed.

+946. respiration in hypothermia. i. respiratory pattern and
+acid-base balance in the blood
+mongrel dogs, under light pentobarbital anesthesia,
+were made hypothermic by im-
+mersing them in ice water and then normothermic
+in warm water. in the course of
+cooling, the respiratory rate and pulmonary
+ventilation, after an initial increase,
+were reduced as the rectal temperature fell,
+and spontaneous respiration was ar-
+rested at rectal temperatures of 21-25 c.
+alveolar pco2 was increased, after an
+initial slight lowering, with the progress of
+hypothermia. arterial ph and standard
+bicarbonate (jorgensen and astrup) decreased,
+and the alkalinity of the blood coh/
+ch (winterstein) decreased markedly during hypothermia.
+these findings suggest
+both respiratory and metabolic acidosis as the
+mechanisms concerned. in the course
+of rewarming all these changes disappeared rapidly
+and completely though the venti-
+latory stimulation observed as an initial transitory
+phenomenon during cooling failed to occur.

+896. studies on blood viscosity and its significance in anesthesia
+the principles for measuring blood viscosity
+have been discussed. although blood
+does not behave in a newtonian manner,
+the data obtained in in vitro measurement
+are useful. a modified simple method for
+measuring blood viscosity relative to nor-
+mal saline has been described. there is
+essentially no difference in viscosity be-
+tween fresh blood and heparinized blood and between plasma and serum.
+viscosity varies with the quantity and nature of proteins
+in plasma and the cellular concentra-
+tion. halothane and thiopental sodium reduce
+blood viscosity and seem to be indicat-
+ed in conditions in which there is hemoconcentration
+and a tendency for red blood
+cells to aggregate. cyclopropane, hypothermia,
+and norepinephrine tend to raise
+blood viscosity and would seem to be contraindicated
+when the microcirculation is failing.

+4612. flow considerations in regional cerebral hypothermia
+it is suggested that low flows are dangerous
+and may cause anoxia either directly
+or by interfering with cooling. sixty dogs
+have been subjected to local cerebral
+hypothermia by the method of femoral to
+carotid cooling of arterial blood with per-
+fusion at a predetermined pressure rather
+than predetermined flow rate. the cir-
+cuit is described and its advantages for
+clinical use mentioned together with its in-
+accuracies as a method of scientific investigation.
+these are chiefly concerned
+with maintenance of systemic blood pressure
+which may require the injection of
+pressor agents. evidence for reduction in flow
+at low temperatures is discussed
+and evidence presented that this is not only due
+to increase in viscosity but that
+there is an active spasm, manifested by
+'rewarming humps' which occur in the
+cooling graphs. mean carotid flow rates
+were determined by a revolution counter
+attached to a pump of fixed stroke volume,
+the output of which was linked to the per-
+fusion pressure and thus determined by the resistance.
+the place of added co2
+is discussed particularly in relation to the fall
+in partial pressure which accompa-
+nies the cooling of the blood. the addition of 5% co2
+did not increase total carotid
+flows. halothane had been used as an anesthetic
+because of its sympatholytic ac-
+tion. it has increased flows by 37% and
+abolished 'rewarming humps'. rheomacro-
+dex used as a priming fluid instead of blood
+produced increased flow averaging 75%
+but did not abolish spasm. it is suggested that
+cooling faster than 1 c. per minute
+is not intrinsically dangerous if spasm is prevented
+and high flow maintained by the methods described.

+4613. selective brain cooling produced by cerebral ventricular perfusion
+hypothermic cerebral ventricular perfusion
+was applied to dogs. shivering appear-
+ed to be directly related to the cns temperature
+rather than the peripheral body
+temperature. selective heating of the brain-stem
+produced panting. rewarming
+of the body was retarded by the initiation of heat
+loss mechanisms controlled cen-
+trally when hyperthermic perfusion was used.
+shivering disappeared but panting
+was unaffected by pentobarbital anesthesia.
+cooling of one or both frontal areas and
+the anterior part of the third ventricle did not
+significantly affect the respiratory
+or circulatory systems but brain-stem hypothermia
+produced distinct respiratory
+and circulatory reactions. it is suggested that
+cooling of the 3rd and 4th ventricu-
+lar areas may be utilized for anesthetic purposes.

+1139. optimal coronary flow in the bypassed normothermic and hypothermic heart
+a series of experiments were conducted in dogs
+in which bypass flow, temperature,
+and direct coronary perfusion pressure were varied.
+coronary flow, coronary ven-
+ous saturation, myocardial oxygen consumption (mvo2),
+and coronary vascular re-
+sistance were assayed. coronary flow as a percentage
+of total bypass flow did not
+vary appreciably at varying levels of bypass flow.
+induction of hypothermia, when
+total bypass flow is constant, results in decreasing
+coronary flow. induction of hy-
+pothermia when maintaining a constant bypass pressure
+results in an increasing
+coronary flow with temperatures down to 22 c.
+further cooling causes a reduction
+in flow. using isolated coronary perfusion at 100 mm. hg,
+coronary flow fell and
+resistance rose during the first 15 min. of bypass.
+using isolated coronary perfu-
+sion at 100 mm. hg, induction of moderate hypothermia
+(25 c.) caused an increase
+in coronary flow and venous saturation and a decrease
+in cardiovascular resistance
+and mvo2. under the same conditions, induction of
+hypothermia to 18 c. produced
+similar changes but caused myocardial hemorrhage
+and ventricular fibrillation. pro-
+found hypothermia probably leads to excessive
+fragility of the capillary bed. reduc-
+tion of perfusion pressure to 50 mm. hg at near
+normothermia reduced coronary
+flow and slightly reduced venous saturation
+and mvo2. the same reduction of perfu-
+sion pressure at 18 c. produced similar but
+less marked changes. reduction to 25
+mm. hg at 18 c. markedly reduced coronary flow,
+venous saturation, and mvo2
+initially, but with partial recovery later. from this
+data of acute experiments in
+dogs, coronary perfusion using moderate hypothermia
+(about 31 c.) and 50 mm.
+hg, slightly pulsatile mean pressure appears optimal.

+perimental study in the use of cold for neurosurgery and
+cancericidal perfusions
+this paper includes minor clinical notes
+on open heart surgery and cancer perfusion
+but contains no experimental information
+on neurosurgery or cancer perfusions. a
+method of closed-chest hypothermic perfusion
+in 30 dogs is reported. the authors
+utilize drainage of superior and inferior cavae
+by gravity. the volume of venous
+drainage sometimes enhanced by transfusions
+or 12.5% low molecular weight dex-
+tran determined the flow rate. cooling was
+maintained for quite variable periods
+apparently generally to an unspecified
+esophageal temperature. perfusion time va-
+ried from 30 min. to 4 hr. animals with
+low flows were perfused longer, had a high-
+er incidence of ventricular fibrillation,
+and a very low survival rate. eleven ani-
+mals survived. all had pre-cooling flow
+rates above 40 ml./kg./min., good flow
+rates during the perfusion, and only 3 had
+ventricular fibrillation. flow rates and
+survival were increased in animals receiving
+low molecular weight dextran. four-
+teen of 15 animals with ventricular fibrillation
+were defibrillated electrically, 8 re-
+gained 'adequate' cardiac function, but only 3
+survived. some interesting data on
+regional cooling of the lower half of the body
+is presented. the authors conclude
+without sufficient evidence that the most
+important factor in the mortality in hypo-
+thermic perfusion is the ability to maintain
+'a flow rate approaching the estimated
+normothermic cardiac output of the animal'

+2406. profound hypothermia
+the aim of hypothermia is protection of vital
+cerebral structures from hypoxia
+during aneurysm repair; profound hypothermia
+is also valuable in operating on
+certain cardiac defects which cannot be repaired
+even with whole body perfusion.
+since the time needed for aneurysm repair often
+exceeded the safe limit of 8 to 12
+minutes without circulation afforded by surface
+hypothermia of 29 to 30 c., the
+authors have investigated the drew (open-chest)
+technic, the closed-chest method,
+and isolated cerebral perfusion. the drew technic
+consists of substituting two
+pumps for the heart while the patient's lungs act
+as the oxygenator. because of its
+disadvantages (the large amounts of blood needed
+and the morbidity due to intra-
+cardiac cannulation and median sternotomy), a
+closed-chest method was developed,
+using a mayo-gibbons vertical-sheet pump-oxygenator
+to provide the perfusion and
+extracorporeal cooling without requiring thoracotomy.
+in cerebral perfusion, blood
+is taken from one artery, pumped through a heat
+exchanger, and returned to another
+artery. the authors describe anesthetic technics,
+offer comparisons of the three
+methods, give instructions pertaining to the production
+of hypothermia, and list the
+problems encountered in the management of these cases.

+3194. systemic hypothermia via gastric cooling
+eight dogs underwent gastric cooling for
+systemic hypothermia. each dog was cooled
+with the balloon filled with a 'safe' volume
+based on weight (20 ml/kg) and subjected
+to cooling with the balloon filled maximally,
+but safely to a pressure of 10 mm hg.
+consistently, the latter procedure was far
+more efficient, averaging 2.6 times as
+rapid for all degrees of hypothermia. a
+decrease in core temperature by 7 c re-
+quired an average of only 28.4 minutes.
+on comparison with clinical reports of hy-
+pothermia induced by the usual gastric
+cooling, an improved efficiency of two-fold
+to three-fold is still noted.

+autoradiographic studies on

+irradiated and non-irradiated dogs were
+studied by serial autoradiography with co-
+ping of the hind legs during the plasma
+clearance time of h3-thymidine injected into
+an anterior vein. in irradiated dogs,
+the h3-thymidine injection procedure was car-
+ried out during the early recovery phase
+following 250 r whole body x-irradiation.
+conclusive evidence of transformation of
+hematogenous bone marrow lymphoid cells
+into hemopoietic precursors was not found.
+however, in the light of the individual
+grain counts transformation of a few lymphoid
+cells into hemopoietic cells cannot be
+ruled out. the data obtained from a dog in the
+very early recovery phase following
+whole body irradiation strongly indicate such
+a transformation.

+3927. studies on growth and cytomorphosis
+in the thymo-lympha-
+tic systems - with special
+reference to the influence of
+the thymus and the thyroid
+in guinea-pigs
+migratory streams of lymphocytes between
+different parts of the thymo-lymphatic
+system were evaluated by comparisons between
+lymphocyte populations in thoracic-
+duct lymph and arterial and venous blood,
+especially thymic venous blood. by re-
+cording organ weights in sham-operated and
+thymectomized guinea-pigs, treated
+with thyroxin or untreated, the importance
+of the thymus and the thyroid for growth
+and regeneration in the thymo-lymphatic
+system was studied. the main results are
+as follows. there is a considerable venous
+output of lymphocytes with low mito-
+chondrial content (small lymphocytes) from
+the thymus in normal young guinea-pigs.
+this explains the much higher incidence of
+small lymphocytes in blood than in tho-
+racic-duct lymph. neonatal thymectomy
+causes lymphatic hypotrophy with defi-
+ciency of lymphocytes and pyroninophilic
+cells in relation to reticular ones. body
+growth and survival of the animals are not
+affected. in the thymus, exogenous
+thyroxin most probably promotes differentiation
+of large basophilic cells to small
+lymphocytes, resulting in an increased output of
+small lymphocytes. in the lymph
+nodes, thyroxin promotes differentiation of large
+pyroninophilic cells ('transitional
+cells') into immature and mature plasma cells.
+the effects of thyroxin on dif-
+ferentiation are followed by an increased growth
+of the thymo-lymphatic organs,
+characterized by an increased incidence of large
+basophilic cells and increased weight
+of the lymphatic organs. growth of the thymus and
+lymph nodes precedes that of
+the red splenic pulp. this delayed splenic response
+is not due to a transformation
+of an increased number of immigrated thymic
+lymphocytes, as neonatal thymectomy
+does not prevent the thyroxin-stimulated
+occurrence of large basophilic cells in the
+red splenic pulp. the thyroxin-stimulated
+growth of the lymphatic system is ac-
+companied by an increased output of larger
+lymphocytes through the thoracic
+duct, resulting in an increased number of
+larger lymphocytes in the blood. in
+postnatally thymectomized animals, having a
+normal (or above normal) amount of
+circulating small lymphocytes, thyroxin produces
+a drastic decrease in the number of
+small blood lymphocytes, indicating a decreased
+delivery and/or increased disappear-
+ance of these cells to and from the blood, respectively.
+this decrease in number of small
+lymphocytes is not seen in sham-operated animals.
+as judged by studies of organ
+weights, the thyroxin-stimulated growth and
+regeneration of the lymphatic tissue
+are influenced antagonistically by thymectomy
+and synergistically by local factors
+in involuted tissue.

+815. the origin of macrophages
+from bone marrow in the rat
+skin windows' and subcutaneous coverslips
+were applied to rats in a study designed
+to identify the tissues in which the precursors
+of macrophages proliferate. lympho-
+cyte-depletion by either chronic drainage from
+the thoracic duct or 400 rads of x-
+irradiation failed to suppress the emigration of
+macrophages or to reduce the pro-
+portion of them which became labelled after an
+injection of tritiated thymidine. x-
+irradiation with 750 rads suppressed
+the emigration and the labelling of the exudate
+macrophages. both were restored to
+normal when the tibial marrow was shielded
+during irradiation. radioactively-labelled
+cell suspensions obtained from thoracic
+duct lymph, lymph nodes, thymus, spleen
+and bone marrow were transfused into
+syngeneic recipients. the emigration of
+labelled macrophages on to coverslips
+could be demonstrated only in recipients
+of labelled bone marrow and spleen cells.
+labelled monocytes were found in the blood
+of rats which had received injections
+of labelled bone marrow. it was concluded
+that in the rat, bone marrow, and to a
+lesser extent spleen, are major sources of
+the macrophages which emigrate into
+foci of acute, non-bacterial inflammation.

+in guinea-pig bone
+marrow after acute
+haemorrhage and
+severe hypoxia evidence
+for a common stem-cell
+after a large acute hemorrhage,
+the absolute le-
+vels of neutrophils, eosinophils, and
+basophils in guinea
+pig bone marrow are considerably
+reduced. all stages
+of differentiation are involved, the
+decline in myelo-
+blasts and promyelocytes being
+particularly marked.
+exposure to severe hypoxia also
+temporarily depresses
+the number of marrow granulocytes.
+bone marrow
+lymphocytes are only slightly reduced
+after a single he-
+morrhage but in the later stages of
+severe hypoxia their
+numbers are greatly reduced.
+assuming the supply of
+stem cells in the bone marrow
+is not unlimited, the de-
+crease in marrow granulocytes
+and lymphocytes follow-
+ing marked erythropoietic stimulation
+appears to favor
+a monophyletic theory of hemopoiesis;
+a heavy demand
+for stem cells to differentiate into the
+erythron may
+temporarily restrict the
+number entering the leukon. the
+hypoxic animals showed
+a considerable loss of body weight
+and the notable reduction
+of marrow lymphocytes in the
+later stages of hypoxia
+may be specifically related to a
+generalized atrophy of
+lymphoid tissue. using h3-thymi-
+dine there is evidence
+of active dna synthesis in guinea
+pig metamyelocytes.
+although dna-synthesis was found
+in metamyelocytes of
+normal marrow, after hemorrhage
+these cells form a much
+larger proportion of the total
+synthesizing cells in the
+granulocyte compartment and
+also the ratio of labeled
+metamyelocytes to myelocytes
+is considerably increased.
+microspectrophotometric
+measurements of the feulgen
+dna-content of metamyelo-
+cytes after hemorrhage show
+that there are 2 populations
+of these cells. one group has
+values typical of resting or
+nonsynthesizing cells but a 2nd
+group shows a complete
+range of dna-values up to levels
+characteristic of those
+found in dividing cells. certain
+small mononuclear cells
+with minimal but deeply basophilic
+cytoplasm are a dis-
+tinctive group of dna-synthesizing

+ter hemorrhage. morphologically,

+c57bl and 10 million 101 bone-marrow
+cells were repopulated only by the 101

+cell mixtures indicated that the 101
+marrow was relatively nine times as efficient
+as c57bl marrow in repopulating
+lethally irradiated (c57bl x 101)f1 mice.
+results from additional strain combina-
+tions suggested that the behavior of the
+donor marrows was not determined solely
+by h-2 factors. c57bl marrow, which
+frequently regresses in irradiated f1 mice,
+has shown to be relatively less capable
+of repopulating the recipient than regularly
+retained parental marrow. the differences
+in the relative abilities of parental mar-
+rows to repopulate f1 mice cannot as yet be
+fully explained. they might be corre-
+lated with physiological differences between
+the parental marrows or with a micro-
+environmental advantage of one hematopoietic
+cell type over another in the irradiated

+lymphocytes in the irradiated
+marrow of partially shiel-
+ded animals continued to show
+both the overshoot and the
+secondary fall in numbers which

+after the rest of the body, in-
+cluding the conventional lymphoid tissues, has
+received lethal or supra-lethal irra-
+diation. almost 50% of these cells are formed

+tion sickness in dogs which were not given

+few initially labeled small

+was estimated. evi-
+dence is presented that monocytes,
+as well as mature

+extending back to the

+amounts of this en-
+zyme. a rare mature eosinophil
+demonstrated a trace
+of lysozyme activity. there was
+no evidence of lyso-
+zyme activity in basophils,

+cytes, platelets, plasma
+cells, tissue mast cells or

+1770. proliferative activity of the
+lymphatic tissues of rats as
+studied with tritium-labelled
+thymidine
+cytokinetic data are presented, employing
+quantitation of h3dna in the lymphatic
+tissues of normal rats serially sacrificed
+after h3tdr administration. a marked
+difference in the patterns of initial labeling
+and label loss was observed between the
+thymus and peripheral lymphatic tissue.
+the data are compatible with other indica-
+tions of rapid cell renewal in the thymus.
+there is suppression of initial uptake of
+h3tdr into the dna of each large lymphocytic
+progenitor cell in the thymus, appa-
+rently because of a feedback of thymidine
+containing material from small lympho-
+cytes in the thymus. depletion of the thymus
+of small cells, as by operative stress
+or whole body x-ray, leads to a marked
+increase in the uptake of h3tdr into the
+dna of large thymocytes. this finding,
+which is in agreement with the previous
+findings of sugino et al. suggesting transfer
+of thymine nucleotides from small thy-
+mus lymphocytes to precursor cells, may or
+may not be related to the apparent
+transfer of dna label between thymic cells.
+the evidence for the latter consists of
+the curvilinear dilution of the dna label in
+the thymus proliferating cell population
+and the relationship between the rate of dna
+label dilution in large cells and the
+dna in the small cells in the thymus. after
+the dna label in progenitor cells in
+the thymus and lymph nodes has entered the
+small cell population, the subsequent
+dilution of grains in these dividing cells follows
+the same slope as the loss of radio-
+activity from the entire lymph node. there is a
+long retention of some h3dna label
+in the dividing lymph node cell population. this
+suggests that the loss of radioacti-
+vity from the dividing cells and from the small
+cell population as a whole occurs e-
+qually. this pattern prevails regardless of
+whether the percentage of large and
+small cells is altered experimentally. these
+findings can be explained by an inter-
+change of the dna nuclear label between small
+lymphocytes and large lymphocytes.
+this could occur by some process such as
+phagocytosis or pinocytosis, or by trans-
+formation of the small lymphocyte into a large,
+dividing cell. the data fit best with
+the latter possibility. all or any of these
+mechanisms would lead to an equilibration
+of the dna label between large and small
+cells. this finding prevents the assign-
+ment of a finite life span to lymphocytes on
+the basis of dna labeling kinetics. ne-
+vertheless, there appear to be at least two
+different types of lymphocytes. one,
+the 'thymus-type' lymphocyte, is found in the
+thymus cortex, bone marrow and ger-
+minal centers of lymphoid follicles. the other
+type, found abundantly in the wide-
+spread peripheral lymphatic tissue, shows a
+very prolonged retention of dna la-
+bel and is believed to be recirculating,
+'immunologically committed' cells described
+by others. these cells do not appear to
+enter the thymus cortex.

+forms stage iv + m. these ratios are not
+altered by acth. shifts in the ratio
+of free to bound corticosteroids with acth

+therapy
+the urinary quotient of estriol/estrone +

+women with and without breast cancer, as an in-
+dex of the ratio of noncarcinogenic impeded es-
+trogens to mammary carcinogenic estrogens. in
+34 controls, the median eq was 1.3 before and 1.2
+after menopause, with only 21% of the patients sub-
+normal. in 26 breast cancer patients without endo-
+crine treatment or recent surgery, the median eq
+was 0.5 and 0.8 respectively, with 62% of the pa-
+tients subnormal. after major surgery or hormo-
+nal therapy, only 23% of 53 patients were subnor-
+mal, no remissions being observed unless the eq
+rose toward normal. matching of 24 controls and
+patients in pairs by age and ovarian status in the
+wilcoxon test indicated that the decreased eq ex-
+creted in untreated cancer was significant at the
+0.2% confidence level. the marked increase in eq
+induced by castration and androgen, estrogen, and
+corticosteroid therapy suggests that normaliza-
+tion of a precancerous metabolic imbalance be-
+tween impeded and active estrogens derived from
+ovarian and adrenocortical sources contributed to
+arrested growth of estradiol-dependent metastases.

+crete a significantly lower percentage of
+the total estrogen as estrone and a signifi-
+cantly higher percentage as estriol than
+women in the premenopausal control group.
+there was no significant difference in the
+excretion of total estrogen between cancer
+groups and controls in good health.

+tention. physiologic effects such as

+on the plasma corticosteroids is
+on the average shortened in advanced
+(stage iv) cases of breast cancer. in 3
+groups of patients, the lowest corticosteroid
+levels were found up to 6 hr. after
+infusion of dehydroepiandrosterone-phosphate.
+in patients with mastopathy the
+effect was still detectable 12 hr. later; in patients
+with breast cancer in stage iv the
+initial levels were reached at that time. in
+cases with stages i and ii lesions, the
+findings were intermediate. the shortening
+is attributed to a more intensive
+transformation of dehydroepiandrosterone in

+fractions excreted by 21 patients with

+estrone, estradiol, and estriol fractions were
+not significantly different. the
+excretion of relatively lower levels of estrone

+levels of estriol by patients with prostatic
+cancer compared to clinically well
+subjects resulted in significantly lower
+proportions of the total estrogen being
+excreted as estrone and estradiol. differences in
+the proportions of estrogen frac-
+tions between patients with benign hypertrophy
+and clinically well subjects were
+not significant. with the exception of a significantly
+higher percentage of the total
+estrogen being excreted as estrone by the patients
+with benign hypertrophy,
+differences between that group and the cancer
+group were also not significant.
+clinical variations between the 3 groups, and
+within the cancer and hypertrophy
+groups, preclude assignment of significant
+differences to prostatic dystrophies
+alone. cancer patients experiencing inanition
+due to a loss of appetite excreted
+significantly lower levels of estrone than patients
+who reported no loss of appetite.
+significantly lower levels of estrone were excreted
+by patients with benign hyper-
+trophy hospitalized 6 days or more compared to

+cortisol. when similar measurements are
+carried out on patients with early breast
+cancer, it is found that approximately half
+the cases presenting for mastectomy are
+also excreting abnormal amounts of these
+steroids. subsequent follow-up shows that
+these cases tend to have a poor progno-
+sis, and a trial had therefore been started
+in which the abnormality is being cor-
+rected. in addition, it seems possible that
+the deficiency in adrogen excretion may
+precede the onset of the disease. this

+ment. the steroid excretion was studied

+from the age of the menopause onward,
+the excretion of oestrone and preganediol
+increases again. a new maximum was
+found in the group 10-15 yr. after the
+menopause. the excretion of pregnanetriol

+results demonstrate that corticosteroids
+in substitution doses (cortisone 50 mg. daily
+or prednisone 10 mg. daily, divided in 4
+daily doses) are very effective in depressing
+the excretion of all 3 steroids in postmenopausal
+patients. this is in agreement with
+the clinical impression that these easily tolerated
+small doses of corticosteroids have
+the same therapeutic effect as adrenalectomy in
+patients with breast cancer. the
+results indicate that the ovaries may contribute
+to the production of oestrogens for
+many years after the menopause, and that this
+production is depressed by ovarian
+irradiation. this is in agreement with the clinical
+observation that ovarian irra-
+diation has a therapeutic value in postmenopausal

+regression of amyloidosis in the early stages

+plicated by amyloidosis and 30 with the same forms

+with pulmonary tb it is possible
+to diagnose associated amyloidosis of the internal
+organs in its initial stage. the
+presence of amyloidosis of the internal organs can
+be inferred from the following
+changes in the blood picture (a) the appearance of
+normochromic and hypochromic
+anaemia in patients with various forms of tb (with
+the exception of tb of the kidneys,
+intestinal tract or larynx, and of caseous lymph
+nodes), (b) progressive increase
+in the leucocyte count with a neutrophil shift to

+phase of quiescence of the main disease, (c) consistently
+high esr in the absence
+of an active process, (d) thrombocytosis in the phase of

+(corticosteroid) therapy is the pathogenetic
+treatment for visceral amyloidosis and
+is indicated in the proteinuric and early
+edema-hypotonic phase of amyloidosis when
+the functional capacity of the kidneys and
+the liver is still adequate. in the azotemic
+phase of amyloidosis, hormonal (corticosteroid)
+therapy is not indicated, since it
+leads to rapid deterioration in the patient's
+condition. since hypoxemia is one of the
+main factors in the pathogenesis of amyloidosis,
+oxygen therapy is rational patho-
+genetic therapy for patients with pulmonary
+tuberculosis complicated by hypoxemia
+and with symptoms of the proteinuric or
+edema-hypotonic phase of amyloidosis
+(without ascites), in the form of
+subcutaneous introduction of oxygen or oxy-
+geno-peritoneum. in patients with
+pulmonary tuberculosis surgical interven-
+tion on account of the main process
+is indicated only in the early stages of amyloi-
+dosis when pronounced functional
+disorders of the kidneys and liver are absent. co-
+joint therapy using protein vitamins
+(particularly ascorbic acid), hormonal (corticos-
+teroid) preparations, oxygen and
+desensitizing agents and elimination of all foci of
+infection is indicated in treatment
+of pulmonary tuberculosis with even the earliest

+the results of 86 puncture biopsies of the
+liver in 84 patients with pulmonary tuber-
+culosis (55 men and 31 women aged from
+18 to 73 yr.) for the purpose of diagnosing
+amyloidosis are reported. puncture was
+performed when amyloidosis was suspected
+on the basis of the case history (destructive
+process of more than 2-3 years' duration),
+clinical signs in the form of enlargement of
+the liver and spleen, edema, changes
+in the blood picture and blood protein formula,
+and changes in the urine (proteinuria,
+cylindruria, isohyposthenuria). amyloidosis
+was diagnosed or its presence surmised
+before puncture in 23 patients; the puncture
+biopsy confirmed the diagnosis in 14
+and refuted it in 9 of them. in 8 patients without
+clinical symptoms, amyloidosis
+was diagnosed on the basis of the puncture biopsy
+alone. in 9 cases with fatal out-
+come, the post-mortem findings coincided with
+the results of the bioptic puncture.
+of the 62 patients in whom amyloidosis was not
+detected by biopsy, 31 had moderate
+dystrophic changes and 9 had marked dystrophic
+changes while in 22 cases no patho-
+logical changes were found; 6 of these patients
+later developed amyloidosis. these
+findings supported the contention that liver
+amyloidosis is linked with dystrophic
+changes in the epithelial cells. marked
+dystrophic changes can precede amyloidosis
+or may occur simultaneously with it. moderate
+dystrophic changes are quite common
+in patients with an exacerbating tuberculous
+process in the lungs. the wide applica-
+tion of bioptic puncture of the liver in indicated
+cases can increase our knowledge
+of the morphological changes taking place in the

+in patients with chronic fibrocavernous
+tuberculosis of the lungs, any toxic-aller-
+gic side reactions to antibacterial therapy,
+chronic foci or infection and diseases
+with an allergic component can contribute
+to the development of amyloidosis. the
+early detection and clearing of chronic
+foci of infection and effective measures
+against even mildly pronounced toxic-allergic
+side reactions are of prime impor-
+tance in the prevention of amyloidosis. the
+unsystematic and prolonged administra-
+tion of antibacterial preparations, along with
+their toxic side effects, tends to in-
+crease the incidence of amyloidosis in patients
+with chronic fibrocavernous pulmon-
+ary tb. individual constitutional factors are
+of great importance in the development
+of side effects. side reactions to chemopreparations,
+in cases of hypofunction of
+the liver and kidneys and autonomic
+dysfunction promote the development of dys-
+trophic processes, as is confirmed
+by the high frequency of toxic-allergic reac-
+tions in patients with fibrocavernous
+pulmonary tb who later develop amyloidosis.
+the administration of desensitizing drugs
+to patients showing side reactions there-
+fore helps to prevent amyloidosis in cases
+of chronic fibrocavernous tb, and chemo-
+therapy should be automatically combined
+with the administration of desensitizing

+(the therapeutic value of their increase after calciferol)
+quantitative determination of the urinary
+steroids in 38 patients with extensive ul-
+cero-caseous pulmonary tb confirmed
+that the 17-ketosteroids are always decreased
+in these cases. calciferol, in the form
+of one ampoule of vit. d2 of 600,000 u.
+every 10 days, in combination with active
+tuberculostatic drugs, in the majority of
+the cases leads to an increase of the
+urinary 17-ketosteroids from 50 to 100% in 2
+mth. it appears that the calciferol
+exerts its action through proteolysis; it stimulates
+the liquefaction and evacuation of the
+caseous material. this proteolytic effect is
+related to that of the mineralocorticoids,
+which are phlogistic and proteolytic sub-
+stances. calciferol offers the advantage
+over these substances that it does not affect
+the electrolytes and is well tolerated by
+the organism. for this reason, good results
+may be expected from its administration
+in cases of extensive pulmonary tb, in
+which the myc. tuberculosis has remained
+sensitive to the administered tuberculostic
+drugs but nevertheless does not proceed
+towards recovery because of the marked caseous
+lesions. in such cases calciferol treatment
+leads to a rapid and pronounced decrease
+of the radiological shadows, improves the
+general condition and also modifies the

+lympho-reticular system
+a case report of a patient with led
+(aged 48 years), who developed secondarily
+a lymphoblastic sarcoma. when the
+sarcomatous degeneration of the lympho-
+reticular system became apparent,
+the serological and immuno-hematological tests,
+typical for led, were negative. to
+interpret the observation, 62 further patients
+with lymphogranuloma, lymphosarcoma,
+leukemias, other malignant tumors, sar-
+coidosis, and tuberculosis were investigated
+serologically and immunohematolo-
+gically. antinuclear factors were found in
+serum of 4 patients with lymphogranulo-
+ma, one patient with anaplastic carcinoma,
+and one patient with metastasizing
+mixed parotid-tumor. the identity of the
+antinuclear antibodies with those found in
+led could not be proved by different methods.

+twelve normal subjects, 18 cases of

+all patients were given a prednisolone
+test, with urine culture before and after the
+test, and in many instances determination
+of the urinary osmolarity; the urinary
+sediment was examined with the sternheimer
+and malbin staining technique and
+with the peroxydase stain to investigate the
+urinary cytology. with the criteria
+adopted, the test was negative in the normals
+and was positive in 61.1% of the cases
+of chronic pyelonephritis and in 12.1% of the
+remaining cases of unequivocally non-
+infectious renal disease. the increase of the
+urinary bacterial count after cortico-
+steroid administration, and investigation of the
+various components of the urinary
+sediment also supplied useful diagnostic
+information. on the contrary, the stern-
+heimer-malbin stain for the urinary

+x 6.5 x 6 cm., in the lower lobe of the left lung.
+the detailed structure of this

+7364. experimental amyloidosis in immunity
+much of interest in the mechanism of
+experimental amyloidosis as a result of the
+parenteral introduction of foreign protein
+has been centered around the nature of
+the links leading to cytological and biochemical
+changes in tissues and body fluids.
+some of the authors suggested that such links
+may be of immunological nature.
+there is however, no clear-cut proof either
+in favor of or against the theory of an
+immunological origin of amyloid. since
+injection of proteins during the perinatal
+period prevents an immune response when
+the animal is subsequently challenged
+with the same antigen, the authors studied
+amyloidosis caused by casein in mice
+treated after birth with this protein. mice
+exposed soon after birth to casein ac-
+quire an immune tolerance to this antigen.
+this was demonstrated by the absence
+of circulating antibodies as measured by the
+disappearance of i-labeled casein
+from the circulation and by means of passive
+hemagglutination tests with ascitic
+fluids. both tolerant and control animals
+developed amyloidosis to the same extent.
+the results imply that the pathogenesis of
+amyloidosis does not rest upon a classic
+immunological basis; they do not exclude
+the possibility, that the disease may be
+due to some auto-immune process.

+3535. electron microscopic study of six cases of human renal amyloidosis
+this study is particularly concerned
+with (a) the basal membrane in the different
+stages; and (b) the intercapillary spaces
+in the early stages. the conclusions may
+be put as follows (1) the amyloid substance
+seems to have a fibrillar structure
+from the start. (2) when the walls of the
+peripheral capillary loops are thickened
+by voluminous amyloid deposits, the
+hyaline aspect of the primitive basal membrane
+persists, but its structure is altered by
+the presence of multiple amyloid fibrils.
+(3) on the other hand, in the initial stages,
+amyloid fibrils cannot be seen in the
+'lamina densa' of the basal membrane; they
+only appear on the epithelial and endo-
+thelial surfaces of the membrane. this suggests
+that amyloidosis represents an
+abnormal precipitate of extrinsic origin, rather
+than a transformation 'in situ'
+of the basal membrane. (4) in the very early stages
+of amyloid infiltration into the
+glomeruli the fibrillar substance is found first in
+the intercapillary spaces, only
+later does it reach the peripheral capillary walls.

+in pulmonary tuberculosis (russian)
+the kidneys of 75 patients dead from tb of
+the lungs and of 30 rabbits with pulmonary
+tb were examined. the first lesions develop
+in the glomeruli, followed by changes
+in the stroma and tubules. infectious-toxic
+affection of the kidneys is a complex and
+prolonged process involving organic immune
+reactions, lymphostasis, venous stasis
+and finally nephrosclerosis. infectious-toxic
+lesions were found in one third of the patients
+who died of pulmonary tb. these changes had
+produced clinical manifestations, on the
+basis of which the following affections had been
+diagnosed nephritis, nephrosis, amyloi-
+dosis. antibacterial therapy of the pulmonary
+process reduced the renal lesions. how-
+ever, severe infectious-toxic affection of the kidneys
+may develop after recovery from

+in a 59-year-old man, who 12 yr. previously
+had ceased working in an aluminium
+factory and who had died from respiratory
+insufficiency, the postmortem examination
+revealed disseminated nodules in the lungs.
+the nodules were sharply defined, of
+a greyish color and of a doughy consistency
+and could easily be removed from their
+capsules. the diagnosis of amyloidosis was
+made on the basis of the histological
+findings, the staining qualities of the material,
+its intraseptal and periarteriolar
+localization, and the existence of plasmocytic
+infiltrates and foreign-body giant-cell
+granulomas. amyloid deposits were also found
+in the spleen, kidney and some
+coronary branches. in regard to the pathogenesis,
+it is suggested that the exposure
+to aluminium products for more than 10 yr. might
+have constituted a predisposing

+a. aerogenes, s. typhimurium, pr. vul-
+garis, n. catarrhalis, h. influenzae, and

+culosis. none of these microorganisms was
+active in the induction of homograft
+sensitivity in the guinea pig. pretreatment of

+terial suspensions was associated with a slight
+increase in the mean survival time

+the transformation of bacillus subtilis
+sb25 his-tryp-by two linked genetic mar-
+kers under the action of hybrid molecules
+of dna was investigated. the molecular
+hybrids were obtained by thermal denaturation
+and annealing of a mixture of two
+dna's, each one extracted from a single
+auxotrophic strain (h25 his-and 168 tryp-).
+the formation of the heterozygous dna
+double helices was proved by special experi-
+ments. the transformation procedure
+excluded dna synthesis by recipient cells
+prior to the formation of enzymes for
+histidine and tryptophane synthesis. it was
+found that heterozygous molecules of
+dna are able to transform in these conditions
+the double auxotrophic cells to prototrophic
+ones. this means that both strands of
+the dna double helix can serve as templates
+for the m-rna synthesis. the possi-
+bility of a secondary replication of m-rna
+outside the chromosome under the action
+of rna-polymerases, using rna as a primer,
+is discussed.

+2567. the molecular basis of histidase induction in bacillus subtilis
+bacillus subtilis growing at 37 on
+glutamate, as only carbon source, is induced
+to form histidase by l-histidine. this
+enzyme, converting histidine to urocanic
+acid, was isolated in a purified form.
+a highly sensitive and convenient assay for
+the induced enzyme is described and
+applied to show that histidase appears in the
+cell 5 min. after addition of the inducer.
+histidase-synthesizing capacity appears
+after 2 min. and decays exponentially after
+addition of actinomycin (an inhibitor
+of dna-dependent rna synthesis). the
+half-time value of histidase-synthesizing
+capacity of 2.4 is high, compared with the
+half-time value of messenger rna.
+the histidase formation after addition of
+actinomycin was not only due to protein
+synthesis directed by accumulated m-rna
+but also by conversion of an enzymatical-
+ly inactive protein, present on the moment
+of actinomycin addition and product of
+the specific m-rna, to the active enzyme.
+the existence of this enzyme pre-
+cursor was shown by means of experiments
+performed in the presence of chlor-
+amphenicof. finally, numerical values for
+the steady state of histidase synthesis,
+reached 9 min. after addition of the inducer,
+are calculated, on the basis of ki-
+netics of histidase synthetic capacity, precursor
+and enzyme formation the cell
+contains sufficient precursor to form
+approximately 100 molecules of histidase.
+the cell produces approximately 50
+molecules histidase per min. the cell ac-
+quires and loses, every minute, the
+capacity to make 15 molecules of histidase
+per minute. the maximal enzyme
+level is 15,000 molecules per cell.

+2542. symposium on the fine structure and replication of bacteria and their
+parts. ii. bacterial cytoplasm
+comparison of the fine structure of the
+cytoplasm of the bacterial cell with that of
+the 'cell in general' reveals important
+differences leading to the conclusion that, in
+the bacterial cytoplasm, there is little
+differentiation into separate functional en-
+tities. there is no nuclear membrane, and
+fine fibrils appear to extend from the nucleo-
+plasm into the cytoplasm where they may
+expand in all directions. the cytoplasm is not
+necessarily intersected by membranous
+profiles of special configuration, as is borne
+out by e. coli b and other gram-negative
+organisms. when membranous profiles
+of special configuration are present, as
+in the gram-positive b. subtilis, these
+do not appear differentiated into clearly
+definable endoplasmic reticulum, golgi
+substance, microbodies, etc., and mitochondria.
+as for kinetosomes, the presence
+of centrioles is perhaps not very likely. the
+experiments in which tellurite is re-
+duced in the cells suggest that there are
+structures at the base of the flagella with
+reductive capacity. however, upon application
+of the tetranitro-blue tetrazolium
+technic to b. subtilis, these are not stained.
+they are presumably identical with
+basal granules. the membranous structures
+in b. subtilis are called chondrioids
+by the author because probably one of their
+functions is that they are the sites of
+the respiratory enzyme chain. in the
+gram-negative p. vulgaris, the probable site
+of the respiratory chain has a structure
+very different from that in the bacillus; it
+is not clear whether membranes are
+involved in their structure. morphologically,
+even in b. subtilis chondrioids differ
+fundamentally from the mitochondria in that
+they are not built up from composite
+membranes, they are extensions of the plasma
+membrane, and they may not be completely
+closed systems. regarding this last
+point, it was observed that chondrioids may
+possibly stand in open connection with
+the cell's environment, since its lumen is not
+separated from the cell wall by a
+plasma membrane. although as yet nothing is
+known about this, it does not seem to
+be precluded that these membranous organelles
+may function also as intracellular
+transport systems. contrary to porter's ideas
+about er, the chondrioids are not
+extensions of a nuclear envelope, but of the
+plasma membrane. on the other hand,
+they are in the nuclear area, in direct contact
+with the nucleoplasm, and therefore,
+perhaps, they need not carry in their interior
+some dna, as is now becoming known
+for ordinary mitochondria. the chromatophore
+vesicle is of a simple structure and
+in connection with the plasma membrane. it is
+covered by a single membrane and
+thus resembles the granum disc, but it is much
+smaller. in tissue cells, an im-
+portant function of the er is the support of protein
+synthesis by ribosomes bound
+to their surfaces. evidence is now accumulating
+that the active complexes for poly-
+peptide synthesis in bacteria are also membrane-bound
+and are series of 70s ribo-
+somes using the same messenger rna molecule.
+it remains a contradictory situ-
+ation that the particles obtained here through release
+of cytoplasm from protoplasts
+in diluted, rather crude fixing media, and identified
+as ribosomes, could not be
+recognized as such in thin sections of the ryter-kellenberger
+fixed protoplasts.
+this point is much in need of clarification. but
+even if the cytoplasm in the thin
+sections of the protoplasts is in a state of
+dispersion brought about artificially, it
+is still apparent from the various micrographs
+that basically the cytoplasm is a
+network of presumably linear arrays, with many
+interconnections due to fibrillar
+systems. fibrils from the nucleoplasm penetrate
+deeply into the cytoplasm. the
+presence of fine fibrils of various thicknesses,
+electron densities, and orientations
+makes high-resolution study of the cytoplasmic
+details an intriguing prospect from
+which much fundamental information can be
+gained. the organizational pattern on
+the ultrastructural level in bacteria reveals
+fundamental similarities and divergen-
+cies from that in the 'cell in general'.

+906. molecular mechanism of genetic recombination in bacterial transformation
+the mechanism of dna incorporation into
+the recipient cell chromosome was in-
+vestigated in a b. subtilis transformation
+system. the recipient cells were auxo-
+trophic for 2 linked markers. hybrid dna
+used for transformation was heterozy-
+gous for one of these markers. no differences
+in transformation activity were found
+when the effect of native and hybrid dna was
+compared. according to the authors
+this observation is easily explained if we accept
+that each of both complementary
+strands of the donor dna can be incorporated
+into the recipient chromosome with
+equal probability. the results on the segregation
+of genetic characters in the pro-
+geny of transformed cells are also consistent
+with the model of independent incorpo-
+ration of both dna strands. some calculations
+were done on the probability of the
+integration of a single dna strand carrying a
+particular genetic marker, and on the
+probability of recombination leading to double transformants.

+1520. multiplication of bacteriophages
+the reproduction of bacteriophages requires
+the participation of bacterial metabol-
+ism. synthesis of the viral protein components
+is accomplished by the same me-
+chanism as ordinarily produces bacterial
+proteins; however, for the synthesis of
+nucleic acids (dna or rna) enzymes may
+be required which are not present in non-
+infected bacteria; their formation is then
+induced by the virus itself. the fundamental
+biological processes of replication, transcription
+and translation are discussed in
+this context.

+1361. the mechanism of histidase induction and formation in bacillus subtilis
+the role of the inducer, l-histidine, in the
+synthesis of histidase (l-histidine am-
+monia lyase) in b. subtilis was investigated.
+it was found that induced cells poisoned
+with actinomycin, an inhibitor of rna synthesis,
+lose their capacity for the forma-
+tion of a protein precursor of histidase at a rate
+which is independent of the presence
+or absence of the inducer. these results show
+that the inducer does not increase
+the intracellular level of histidase-specific
+messenger rna by preventing the des-
+truction of the major portion of this material,
+the fraction that is engaged in pro-
+tein synthesis. the possibility has not been
+excluded that the inducer exerts its
+effect by bringing about the stabilization of
+the messenger rna that is still attached
+to dna or has not yet become attached to
+ribosomes. alternatively, the inducer may
+actually stimulate the synthesis of
+histidase-specific messenger rna. the conver-
+sion of the precursor to active enzyme
+appears to involve polymerization of mono-
+mers, rather than the release of
+ribosome-bound inactive enzyme.

+1362. the synthesis of phage and host dna in the establishment of lysogeny
+a method of extraction is described which
+prevents excessive fragmentation of bac-
+terial dna. the larger bacterial dna can
+then be separated from the phage dna
+on sucrose gradients. the relative amounts
+of phage and host dna made at various
+times during infection of s. typhimurium
+with phage p22 leading to lysogeny have
+been determined. phage-specific dna
+synthesis begins at about 4 min, continues
+to increase for 2-4 min, and then decreases
+until complete repression is attained
+at 16 min. autonomous phage dna synthesis
+remains repressed from then on. bac-
+teria-specific synthesis proceeds at a
+decreasing rate until about 16 min, when
+almost complete inhibition is reached.
+when dna synthesis recovers in the in-
+fected cells, only host-specific material
+is made. a new species of dna, which is
+made only when phage dna is synthesized,
+has been detected. the possible implica-
+tions of these findings in the understanding
+of the lysogenic interaction is discussed.

+438. lag period characterizing the entry of transforming deoxyribonucleic acid
+into bacillus subtilis
+the kinetics of appearance of transformants
+as a function of time of exposure to
+dna has been studied. a short lag period
+of approximately 1 min at 37 c is evi-
+dent when the transformation is terminated
+with deoxyribonuclease. the length of
+this lag is independent of the genetic trait
+transferred. moreover, the lag is unaf-
+fected by transforming dna concentration,
+by the presence of homologous unmarked
+dna, and by shearing and cross-linking of
+the transforming dna. the lag shows
+a strong inverse temperature dependence.
+the energy of activation is 13.9 kcal.
+the lag is abolished when the transformation
+is terminated by washing instead of
+by addition of deoxyribonuclease. these results
+are taken to indicate an immediate
+adsorption of dna to cells, followed by a
+deoxyribonuclease-sensitive period of
+1 min, during which time the genetic trait
+is entering the cell. these results make
+feasible an investigation of the configuration
+assumed by the dna molecule during
+entry into the cell.

+a correlation was obtained between map
+distance and the length of the lag period
+preceding the appearance of pairs of genetic
+traits after the addition of dna to a
+competent culture of b. subtilis. the results
+are taken to indicate that dna enters
+competent cells in lengthwise fashion.
+the smallest length of transforming dna
+which can participate in a recombination
+event, and the number of nucleotide pairs
+which enter the cell per unit time, have
+been estimated. the evidence indicates
+that only part of the lag period is devoted
+to the transport of dna into the cell.
+the significance of these results with
+respect to the mechanism of entry of dna

+2564. chemical inactivation and reactivation of transforming dna (russian)
+the kinetics of the inactivation of linked
+and unlinked genetic markers by means
+of hno2 or uv light was studied. closely
+linked markers are inactivated simul-
+taneously, unlinked markers are inactivated
+independently. it seems that the
+chemical attack on dna impairs a large part
+of macromolecule, including many
+cistrons. it was shown by genetic experiments
+that chemical inactivation prac-
+tically does not influence the process of dna
+inclusion into competent cells. by
+means of viscosity measurements it was
+shown that the molecular weight and
+macromolecular properties of dna do not
+significantly change during chemical
+inactivation by means of hno2. two explanations
+for the inactivation of trans-
+forming activity of dna are discussed (1) structural
+deteriorations, preventing
+integration of dna molecule into the genome of
+recipient cell, or (2) deletion of
+a chain unit out of dna chain resulting in wrong
+reading of code triplets. it was
+previously described in the literature that extensive
+inactivation leads to a state
+of dna, apparently more resistant than the initial one.
+inactivation does not con-
+firm to exponential kinetics. the authors discuss the
+coding mistake hypothesis
+as an explanation for this remarkable fact. extensive
+hno2 or uv light action re-
+sults in multiple lesions in the dna molecule and
+leads to reactivation because
+the deletions restore correct reading of the code
+in a large part of dna molecule.
+on the basis of this explanation reactivation of
+chemically injured dna by means
+of fusion and annealing with homologous but
+genetically inactive dna, or by slight
+fragmentation of dna by means of ultrasonic
+vibrations may be expected. attempts
+to achieve reactivation by both methods gave
+positive results.

+ps 10 is effective for transformation
+of competent b. subtilis cells. ps 10 dna is
+distinguishable from b. subtilis dna
+by its higher density in a cs2so4 gradient and
+its lower thermal denaturation
+temperature. the transforming activity present
+in dna from ps 10 denatures at
+a temperature characteristic of b. subtilis dna
+rather than of viral dna. the
+transforming activity of ps 10 dna bands in a
+cs2so4 gradient with bacterial dna.

+incorporated into phage ps 10 without
+being integrated in the viral dna. this incorporated
+bacterial dna is involved

+transformable, ultraviolet-sensitive strain of bacillus subtilis
+a uv sensitive, transformable strain of
+b. subtilis (uvr-) was unable to carry out
+host cell reactivation of the virulent
+bacteriophage spo1. the ratio of the slopes
+(kuvr-/kuvr+) of the uv inactivation curves
+was 6-8 for cells or for whole phage, and 2
+for indole+ transforming dna or for
+spo1 phage dna measured in a transforming
+system. whole phage inactivated with
+nitrogen mustard showed greater survival on
+uvr+ cells than on uvr-; there was no such
+difference for whole phage inactivated with
+methyl methanesulfonate. whole uvr+ cells
+recovered from uv induced damage, as
+determined by an increase in extractable
+transforming activity during a period of
+incubation in which net dna synthesis did
+not occur. uvr- cells were unable to reco-
+ver from uv induced damage but they did
+recover from methyl methanesulfonate
+induced damage in similar experiments.
+density labeled (h2n15) methyl methanesul-
+fonate treated uvr+ cells incubated in (h1n14)
+medium containing (h3) thymidine show-
+ed a 3-fold increase in extractable transforming
+activity, with no formation of new

+1209. the theory and practice of the family diagnostic. ii. theoretical
+aspects and resident education
+family intervention and observation have proved
+useful in 3 areas. the 1st of these is observation of the
+psychosocial context in the patient. on admission to a
+mental hospital the phenomenon of extrusion and separ-
+ation from the family is evident, and the need for study
+of the interaction between the patient and his family
+milieu is vital. the 2nd area where the family inter-
+view has a major role is resident education. the tra-
+ditional medical education of the ill prepares the stu-
+dent for consideration of the multifactorial problems of
+emotional disorder in which balances between mem-
+bers of a group may be the issue rather than external
+pathogenes. the family interview offers a unique point
+of observation of factually evident and emotionally con-
+vincing group data. in addition to the observation of
+family phenomena, mutual understanding of others'
+problems is created. finally, the family interview
+serves as an instrument for data collection and hypo-
+thesis seeking in relating individual psychopathology
+to family adaptations. the patient and his family at
+the time of admission are dealing with a crisis. some-
+times this is traumatic, such as the unexpected loss
+of a young marital partner, an unexpected illness, or
+a financial reverse. more commonly, however, it is
+developmental being a natural part of the life cycle.
+characteristically, the developmental task involved
+in dealing with the crises has been postponed so that
+one does not see the family at the age specific and ap-
+propriate time for this task. the crisis emerges dis-
+ruptively because of inevitable biological maturation,
+personal decision, or social expectation. a primary
+concern of the leader is to determine what life task is
+being faced. families have a mentally ill member not
+merely because they are dealing with the vicissitudes
+of life. they are unable to cope with the crisis, be-
+cause of the feelings which are aroused. each life cri-
+sis leads to a particular constellation of effects in any
+given family. these include primarily, sadness, anger,
+and guilt, but there may well be specific affective con-

+approach to problems of human adaptation in modern society
+experimentally determined fixation-ambivalence
+measures are related to some anxiety estimates obtain-
+ed from a projective test in a group of male adolescents.
+it is shown that (1) fixation increases with increase in
+corporal injury anxiety when ambivalence is kept con-
+stant, (2) ambivalence increases with increase in separa-
+tion anxiety when fixation is kept constant, (3) extremely
+hetero-fixated subjects show presence of intense guilt
+and absence of aggression towards the mother; one ef-
+fect of this system of organizers seems to be
+suicidal
+tendencies, (4) extremely ambivalent subjects have in-
+tense separation anxiety; one effect seems to be suicidal
+tendencies combined with high ambition and impaired
+cognitive capacity.

+2837. early indicators of outcome in schizophrenia
+the case material of 50 persons who
+were seen at a child guidance center in child-
+hood or adolescence and were later
+hospitalized with schizophrenia were examined
+intensively. the study concentrated
+especially on the differences associated with
+chronicity vs. hospital release. the
+following 12 factors were significantly related
+to chronicity (1) psychotic or schizoid
+pathology in the mothering person, (2) no se-
+paration of any kind from the pathogenic
+families, (3) pre-illness history of poor so-
+cial and sexual adjustment, (4) failure
+to continue in treatment (during childhood)
+for at least 3 mth., (5) less acting out
+in the community, (6) neither disorientation
+nor confusion on admission, (7) no
+symptoms of depressive psychosis, (8) premor-
+bid schizoid personality, (9) no clear
+precipitating events, (10) no concern with dying
+during the acute phase of the illness,
+(11) length of onset over 6 mth., and (12) schi-
+zophrenic reaction in patients' heredity.
+items 1, 2, and 5 were derived from early
+life history data and are thought to be
+new to the literature of prognosis in schizo-
+phrenia. the remaining 8 factors can be
+scored from hospital data alone, and have
+been cited in previous prognostic studies.

+kibbutz child
+some of the issues relevant to the early
+stages of object relation formation and
+identification of kibbutz children are
+discussed. for this purpose the child rearing
+milieu of the kibbutz child is described
+and some clinical illustrations are given.
+the relationship to the mother is seen
+as the main object-relation and those to the
+educators as transient-interchangeable
+need-satisfying relationships. on the basis
+of retrospective analytical material it
+appears that in the course of development
+the two relations as well as the two
+respective, originally distinct, object represen-
+tations are synthetised into one. the
+conditions of communal education, character-
+ised by double object-relation formation
+from birth on, are seen as factors that in-
+tensify the 'normative crisis of infancy',
+especially the transition from the symbio-
+tic to the separation-individuation stage
+of object-relation development.

+2953. the death of a parent
+in the case of depressive illnesses the death
+of either parent prior to the child reach-
+ing the age of 15 seemed to be correlated
+as a significant contributory factor. with
+this exception, statistical studies suggest
+that it is the death of a mother in the first
+7 yr. of a child's life, as opposed to that
+of a father, that is potentially an etiologi-
+cal factor for the future development of
+psychoses, delinquency and psychoneuroses.
+the case histories of 6 boys who had lost
+their fathers were given. in each instance
+there was distinct evidence that the psychological
+symptoms and behavioral disturb-
+ances were to be attributed in large measure
+to the effect of the death upon the child,
+and that in some cases the symptom choice was
+to be correlated with specific cir-
+cumstances surrounding the death of the father.
+in some cases it was the unresolved
+grief reaction in the mother which helped to
+perpetuate the disorder in the child. re-
+solution of this in the mother during therapy
+led to improvement in the child's func-
+tioning. in other instances improvement
+occurred especially when the child ceased
+to be preoccupied with a close identification
+with the dead father. those boys who
+were involved most closely in their mother's
+grief reactions were the ones who were
+most disturbed. the brief treatment given
+these boys and their mothers appeared
+to be responsible for the considerable
+amelioration of symptoms that resulted. ther-
+apeutic intervention is worthwhile,
+especially in those instances where there is an
+unresolved grief reaction in the mother.

+1848. the child's concept of death
+in this translation of a paper, which first
+appeared in 1912, it is shown, according
+to freud, how far a child's appreciation
+of being dead differs from its true signifi-
+cance. death means a reversible decrease
+in life functions, that can be interrupted
+at any time, like sleep. at other times it
+may mean a temporary separation; but
+always it is in man's power to change it.
+in this concept, the child's unconscious
+finds license for his sadism. cruelty to
+animals and death wishes against persons
+close to him appear, in overcompensation, as
+exaggerated pity for dead creatures
+and the belief in man's power over life and death.

+1849. mother child interaction during separation individuation
+after a stage of normal autism during the
+1st weeks of extrauterine life, the infant
+passes into a symbiotic phase, gradually
+emerging from this stage of dual unity at
+the end of the 5th mth and during the 6th mth.
+just before this, the next phase
+separation individuation begins. four
+characteristic subphases of this separation
+individuation process are described
+differentiation, the practicing period, association
+and a stage, characterized by unfolding
+of complex cognitive functions. the relation
+of mother and child throughout these
+subphases are studied and illustrated by clinical
+material. a poor relation between mother
+and child in 1 subphase does not necessarily
+or usually preclude impressive changes
+for the better in the next subphase.

+2736. the emotional needs of children in hospital
+hospitalization of a child for physical
+reasons brings with it separation from pa-
+rents, siblings and familiar surroundings,
+as well as the probability of subjection
+to frightening and painful procedures.
+unless steps are taken to prevent or modify
+the resultant stress, behavioral
+disturbances may arise and may result in per-
+manent damage to the developing personality.

+2906. early childhood separations
+every child in this long-term study of child
+rearing showed significant reactions to
+ordinary separations by about 1 yr. of age.
+the similar pattern of response in this
+group of children suggests a biologically
+determined cause. the clinging reaction
+appeared when the child became mobile and
+able to move away from his mother re-
+gardless of the frequency or duration of his
+separations. the majority of the mothers
+did not understand this natural phenomenon
+and regarded the clinging and crying of
+the 1-year-old as evidence of spoiled or
+regressed behavior. the pediatrician can
+be helpful to a mother by anticipating and
+explaining separation responses, by indi-
+cating their universality, and by giving
+specific recommendations for gradual changes
+to modify these reactions.

+9787. changes in developmental quotient under two conditions of maternal
+separation.
+developmental scales were
+administered to 2 groups of infants during and sub-
+sequent to a temporary period of institutionalization.
+although both groups experienced maternal separa-
+tion, only 1 group was subjected to deprivation, in
+that it received very much less stimulation than the
+other. results from a longitudinal testing program
+show that the scores of the deprived group during
+the period of separation were significantly lower than
+those of the nondeprived group, no progressive de-
+terioration of scores took place in the course of
+institutionalization, immediately following return
+home, while the scores of the nondeprived group re-
+mained constant, those of the deprived infants jumped
+to the level of the other group. 3 theories regarding
+the mechanism underlying the association between
+deprivation and developmental retardation are exam-
+ined and it is suggested that an explanation in moti-
+vational terms best fits the results obtained.

+1808. separation anxiety a factor in the object relations of
+schizophrenic patients.
+the thesis is advanced that
+special vulnerability to separation anxiety is a crucial
+factor in the schizophrenic's difficulty in establishing
+and maintaining satisfactory interpersonal relationships.
+2 major reasons for this are lack of autonomy and lack
+of object constancy. without a stable autonomous
+capacity for self-regulation and adaptation, he is inordi-
+nately dependent upon others for help, protection, and
+direction. without object constancy, he is unable to
+maintain a stable representation of the needed person in
+the latter's absence. evidence is presented from the
+intensive psychotherapy of schizophrenic patients.
+many of the vicissitudes of the doctor-patient relation-
+ship center about the patient's separation anxiety and
+his attempted defenses against it. these include clinging,
+perceptual and cognitive distortions designed to deny
+separation, and recourse to substitute objects. promi-
+nent in many of these efforts is the attempt to reverse
+passive victimization into active mastery. the practical
+implications of this thesis for the treatment of schiz-
+ophrenic patients are discussed.

+reported a recent "separation experience" as defined
+in this study. the frequency of visits to the dis-
+pensary for symptomatic complaints was not signifi-
+cantly higher among those who reported separation
+than among those who did not. the data suggest
+that an apparent association between relatively high
+cornell medical index score and history of separation
+experience may be understandable in terms of a cause-
+effect relationship between separation experience and illness.

+1463. investigations of lens protein and microelectrophoresis of
+hydrosoluble protein in senile cataract
+the investigations on lens protein and
+on agar-microelectrophoresis of hydro-
+soluble protein in normal lenses and in those affected with senile cataract re-
+vealed the following facts (1) in opaque
+lenses, a diminution of the total protein
+and the soluble protein takes place, as
+well as an increase in the amount of in-
+soluble protein. the decrease in the
+quantity of soluble protein is higher than the
+increase of insoluble protein which does
+not only point to a transformation of the
+soluble protein into the insoluble variety,
+but also to the disappearance of a protein
+fraction from the lens. changes in the
+quantity of soluble protein are accompanied
+by the decrease of protein in slow fractions
+of the electropherogram and even by
+the disappearance of these fractions and
+the increase of the amount of protein in
+fractions of medium velocity. with the
+development of cataract and the mature
+phase of cataract, all these processes
+become more and more distinct. in this
+respect, a strong parallelism exists between
+the protein changes and the clinical
+picture of senile cataract. (2) qualitative
+and quantitative changes which occur in
+the protein of normal lenses with advancing
+age show a character similar to those
+in senile cataract, however, they are less
+pronounced. in this instance, the de-
+crease in the quantity of soluble protein is
+likewise closely associated with the
+diminution of the protein content in the slow
+fractions of the electropherogram.
+(3) the changes in the soluble protein content
+of the lens and the alterations of
+the protein amounts in the slow fractions which
+always accompany the former,
+play the principal role in the aging process
+of the lens and in the development of
+senile cataract. (4) the investigations
+seem to indicate that the aging processes,
+of lenses as well as the development of
+senile cataract are of a similar character,
+but of different intensity. (5) undoubtedly,
+the processes of transition from slow
+fractions of soluble protein into faster ones
+and the transformation of part of the
+soluble protein into insoluble protein which is
+likely to be associated with these
+processes as well as the partial disappearance
+of total protein from the lens seem
+to play a very important part in the mechanisms
+pertaining to the development
+of cataract.

+the lyophilized soluble lens proteins
+were dissolved in 0.005 m phosphate buffer
+at ph 6.8 and the solution was subjected to
+column chromatography on deae (die-
+thylamino ethyl) cellulose. elution was
+accomplished by changing the ph and ionic
+strength of the eluting buffer. the components
+were fractionated by stepwise elu-
+tion. the lens proteins were separated into
+17 fractions by column chromatogra-
+phy. these fractions were compared with
+a, b and y crystallines for electrophore-
+tic mobility, and the antigenic purity of each
+fraction was examined immunochemi-
+cally. the results showed that while the
+fractions were not completely pure they
+were purer than the a, b and y crystalline
+fractions, and that f-1-a, b, c and d
+corresponded to y crystalline, while
+f-2-a, b, c, d, e and f corresponded to b
+crystalline and f-3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and

+four proteins belonging to the y-crystallin group
+were purified by chromatography
+on sulphoethyl-sephadex and phosphate-cellulose
+columns. the proteins were homo-
+geneous in gel and immunoelectrophoresis
+experiments and could be crystallized.
+their molecular weights, n-terminal amino
+acid sequences and antigenic structures
+were all similar, but their amino acid
+compositions and the sulphydryl groups con-
+tained showed certain dissimilarities. it
+is probable that the 4 proteins possess
+small differences in their primary structure,
+which are not associated with the
+antigenic sites and which may have arisen
+from mutations during evolution.

+3105. studies on the subunits of a-crystallin and their recombi-
+nation
+earlier investigations have shown that, in
+the presence of high concentrations of
+urea, a-crystallin from bovine lens is split
+into a number of subunits with apparent-
+ly different electrophoretic mobilities but
+similar molecular weights. the recom-
+bination of these subunits after removal of
+the urea has been studied by ultracentri-
+fugation and immunoprecipitation techniques.
+it was found that maximal recombina-
+tion was obtained when the ionic strength
+during the removal of the urea was high
+(>0.2), whereas at low ionic strengths a
+molecule with only half the molecular weight
+of native a-crystallin and a much lower
+sedimentation coefficient was obtained. a
+complete recovery of the structure of
+native a-crystallin was never obtained, even
+at high ionic strengths, as was evident
+from electrophoretic and quantitative preci-
+pitin analyses. the subunits were
+fractionated by chromatography on deae-cellu-
+lose in the presence of 7 m urea.
+the purification was followed by polyacrylamide-
+gel electrophoresis. after removal of
+the urea at high ionic strength, 2 of the
+fractions obtained showed reactions of
+only partial identity with native a-crystallin
+in immunodiffusion tests, but all other
+fractions showed complete identity. the
+differences in the electrophoretic
+mobilities of the fractions in the presence of
+urea persisted after removal of the urea.
+all fractions had much higher sedimen-
+tation coefficients in the absence of urea
+than in its presence, although the values
+for urea-treated unfractionated a-crystallin
+obtained after removal of the urea
+were not reached even at high ionic strengths.
+the amino acid composition of the
+fractions was found to differ. these
+observations suggest that a-crystallin is com-
+posed of a number of chemically different,
+but related, subunits of approximately
+the same size, which are bound together
+by nonspecific, noncovalent bonds, pos-
+sibly hydrophobic bonds. moreover,
+when isolated, these subunits have the ability
+to associate and form molecules of
+high molecular weight.

+b-crystallin was isolated from calf lenses
+by a combination of gel filtration on
+sephadex g-75 and vertical-column zone
+electrophoresis. it was subdivided into
+4 fractions by subsequent gel filtration on
+dextran gels with low cross-linkage.
+each fraction showed only 1 major peak in
+the ultracentrifuge, the sedimentation
+coefficients of which were 13.6, 9.6, 4.9 and
+4.2 s for fractions i-iv, respectively.
+however, all 4 fractions contained some
+additional minor components, as revealed
+by sedimentation and immunoelectrophoretic
+analyses. the fractionation procedure
+may be of value as a first step in the isolation
+of individual proteins of the b-crystal-
+lin group.

+195. properties of a cold-precipitable protein fraction in the
+lens
+a soluble protein fraction which precipitates
+in aqueous solutions at temperatures
+below 10 c has been isolated from the rat
+lens. this fraction appears to be re-
+sponsible for the reversible 'cold cataract'
+which has been seen to develop when
+young mammals are exposed to temperatures
+below 10 c. as the rat ages, the
+concentration of this protein fraction
+decreases, but the fraction does not com-
+pletely disappear, even from the lenses
+of 3-year-old rats. although the molecular
+species comprising this fraction appear to
+be homogeneous in the ultracentrifuge,
+disc electrophoresis and immunodiffusion
+have shown that they are a heterogeneous
+mixture of a-, b- and y-crystallin subunits.
+the ability of the cold-precipitable
+protein (ccp) fraction to precipitate in the
+cold depends upon its concentration and
+the ionic strength and ph of the solvent. in
+solutions of ph 4.0, some aggregation
+of the 4 s cpp occurs to form a 17 s component,
+which no longer precipitates in
+the cold. the ability of this protein fraction to
+precipitate in the cold may depend
+on hydrophobic bonding and its influence on the
+conformation of the protein.

+dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase,
+glutathione reductase, glyceraldehydephos-
+phate dehydrogenase, purine nucleoside
+phosphorylase, nadph2 diaphorase, and
+nadh2 cytochrome c reductase activities.
+increased enzyme activities were noted
+in the irradiated lenticular tissues for
+purine nucleoside phosphorylase, nadph2
+diaphorase and nadh2 cytochrome c
+reductase. decreased activities for glucose
+6-phosphate dehydrogenase, malate
+dehydrogenase, glutathione reductase and gly-
+ceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase
+were observed in the lenticular tissues of ir-
+radiated animals. the activity of isocitrate

+protein in vitro
+a-crystallin can be converted into an insoluble
+form by treatment with alloxan and
+to a very small extent with iodoacetate.
+other reagents such as hcl, naoh, reduced
+glutathione, hydrogen peroxide,
+mercaptoethanol, were not able to convert a-crys-
+tallin into an insoluble form. the
+alloxan treated insoluble a-crystallin could be made
+soluble by treatment with 7 m urea.
+the product thus made soluble had the same
+electrophoretic mobility as a-crystallin,
+but showed cross reaction with a-crystallin
+in ouchterlony plate and did not have
+proteolytic activity. alloxan was effective in
+producing cataract of rabbit lens when very
+small amounts were injected into the

+a-crystallin has been isolated from the cortex
+of ox lens by isoelectric precipitation
+followed by chromatography on deae-cellulose.
+the amino acid composition is in
+agreement with that reported for a-crystallin
+prepared by a different method. there
+is one thiol group/20,000g. of protein
+(20,000 is the order of magnitude of the sub-
+unit molecular weight), and disulphide
+bonds are absent. the thiol group has been
+alkylated with radioactive iodoacetate
+in the presence of urea. partial acid hydroly-
+sis of the alkylated protein gives,
+according to the conditions, mainly 3 radioactive
+peptides or nearly exclusively one
+radioactive dipeptide. the dipeptide is n-seryl-
+(s-carboxymethyl) cysteine, ser-cmcys.
+the 2 other peptides are probably the tri-
+peptides related to ser-cmcys. the
+simplest interpretation of these results is that
+the sequence around the cysteine residue
+is a common structural feature of the sub-
+units of a-crystallin.

+centrifugation and sephadex chromatography.
+these preparations were treated with
+urea or sodium dodecyl sulphate and
+submitted to electrophoresis on polyacrylamide
+gels containing either urea or sodium
+dodecyl sulphate. whereas in 7 m urea a large
+number of zones was detected, only
+three bands were observed in 1% sodium dodecyl
+sulphate. on the other hand, the
+sedimentation coefficient had the same value in both
+media. the authors re-investigated the
+n-terminal amino acid content in the starch block
+preparations and compared the result
+with that obtained from the preparations isolated
+according to their new procedure. the
+concentration of dinitrophenyl-glutamic acid
+was lower in the purified samples.

+of n-terminal glutamic acid whereas
+the concentration of the 'trace' end-groups did
+not change. sedimentation-diffusion
+equilibrium in the analytical ultracentrifuge
+revealed a slight heterogeneity in the
+purified samples. electron micrographs of
+electrophoretic and of further purified
+samples were very similar. at neutral or
+slightly alkaline ph they showed almost

+acetate in the buffer was found
+to be essential for achieving a good separation
+of the lens homogenate into four
+fractions - a, b, c and d. ultracentrifugal,
+electrophoretic and immunochemical
+analyses were used to compare these fractions
+with the soluble crystallin fractions
+of the lens. fraction a was compared
+with a-crystallin, fractions b and c with
+b-crystallin and fraction d with y-crystallin.
+the distribution of these four protein
+fractions in the nuclear and cortical parts
+of calf and cow lenses was determined.

+1745. the deaggregation of bovine lens a-crystallin
+sedimentation equilibrium studies of lens
+a-crystallin at neutral ph indicate that
+this material is composed of a number
+of different sized species. a study of the
+effect of alkali upon a-crystallin indicates
+a progressive deaggregation of the ma-
+terial with increasing ph. sedimentation
+equilibrium studies were performed at ph
+12.8 as well as in guanidine hydrochloride,
+7 m urea, and with succinylated material.
+under all of these conditions a molecular
+heterogeneity was observed. the data
+indicate that independent species coexisted
+under most dissociating conditions. the
+weight average molecular weights of the
+succinylated, and of the alkali-, urea-,
+and guanidine hydrochloride-treated
+material were found to have an integral relation-
+ship of 8 4 2 1, respectively. since a
+constant ratio of m2 mw was found, it was
+concluded that the same spread of
+distribution of molecular species occurred for
+each of the deaggregating conditions.
+the results in guanidine hydrochloride could
+not be evaluated in this manner because
+of a small concentration dependence. these
+conclusions imply that not only the
+weight average molecular weight in 7 m urea
+but the actual molecular weight of
+each individual species in urea was one-half of
+the value to be found in alkali and
+one-quarter that of the succinylated material.

+albuminoid is the main constituent of the

+albuminoid from the cortex of ox lens has
+been fractionated on deae-cellulose in
+7 m urea; peptide maps of the fractions
+are very similar to those from the corre-
+sponding fractions from a-crystallin.
+albuminoid can be regarded as an insoluble
+a-crystallin. an undiluted ground lens
+is clear but becomes turbid on dilution. if
+albuminoid is present in the normal lens,
+it does not cause turbidity even when the
+cellular structure is disrupted. it is
+perhaps more likely that the albuminoid is
+formed on dilution of the lens mush.
+the high concentration of proteins in the lens,
+especially in the nucleus, entails a high
+degree of order, which will be destroyed
+on dilution this phenomenon may well be
+connected with the precipitation of the

+normal and x-irradiated rat eyes
+cell proliferation and migration in
+the lens epithelium of normal and x-irradiated
+rat eyes were studied by means of
+autoradiography after labelling with tritiated
+thymidine. cells of the normal lens
+epithelium require 16 hr. to pass from the
+beginning of the synthesizing period
+to the completion of mitosis. this interval is
+partitioned as follows s period,
+approximately 10 hr.; g2, slightly less than 5 hr;
+and mitosis, 72 min. following division,
+labelled daughter cells migrate from the
+germinative zone to the postequatorial
+rows, and by 2 weeks after tracer injection
+many radioactive nuclei are found in the
+lens bow. epithelial cells irradiated while
+in the dna synthesis phase undergo
+degeneration beginning approximately 8 hr.
+after exposure. the onset of cell death
+corresponds to the time at which these cells
+would normally be preparing for mitosis
+indicating that they die in abortive divisions.
+a small percentage of the originally
+labelled cells survived until 3 days after irradi-
+ation, but by 2 weeks this number fell
+almost to zero. the loss of radioactive cells

+migration
+in the earliest stages of chicken lens
+development, cell division occurred over the
+entire lens. cell division first stopped
+in the posterior side of the lens vesicle, as
+the cells differentiated into primary lens
+fibers. after the annular pad developed,
+cell division occurred, for the most part,
+in the anterior surface epithelial cells.
+shortly after hatching and thereafter, a
+germinative zone, consisting of a narrow
+band of epithelial cells adjacent to the
+annular pad developed. the cells from the
+germinative zone migrated slowly and

+1577. mode of action of selenium in relation to biological activity of
+tocopherols
+dietary selenium at levels below 1 ppm has a partially beneficial effect
+upon nutritional muscular dystrophy but is ineffective or detrimental
+at higher levels. the role of selenium in improving the effectiveness of
+vitamin e is due at least in part to the fact that dietary selenium increases
+the retention of the a-tocopherols, especially d-a-tocopherol. this has been
+shown by chemical determination of plasma tocopherols and also by tracing the
+activities of tritiated tocopherols and selenium75 in serum and in various
+fractions of serum proteins in chicks receiving these nutrients alone and in
+combination. se75 and h3-a-tocopherol activities followed each other very
+closely in the serum proteins. these studies indicated that vitamin e may be
+carried by a selenolipoprotein fraction associated with serum y-globulin. thus,
+one biological role of selenium appears to lie in a selenium-containing
+compound which acts as a carrier of vitamin e and which may function in
+absorption, retention, prevention of destruction, and perhaps transfer across
+cell membranes of d-a-tocopherol, thereby enhancing its biological activity
+in the blood and perhaps in cells throughout the body.

+experiments were performed on wistar rats weighing 150-200 g. thallium was ad-

+given per os in doses of 10 mg/kg 2 hr after poisoning and 5 mg/kg daily
+for the next 2 days. results indicate that sodium selenate protects the
+animals from death. it binds the thallium ions and increases their deposition
+in organs. comparison of the level of thallium in organs of treated rats
+shows that selenate increases in liver by 290.6%, in kidneys by 326.8% and in
+bones by 210.0%. no influence of selenate on excretion of thallium in the

+ii. action of mepacrine, atractyloside and selenite
+it is shown that mepacrine, atractyloside and selenite, which had been regarded
+as inhibitors of intestinal absorption of glucose, are inhibitors of active
+transport of sugars in sacs of everted jejunum of rat (wilson and wiseman's
+method). mepacrine 5 x 10 -3 m and 10 -2 m inhibit, by 85% and 100%
+respectively, the active transport of galactose. with atractyloside 10 -5 m
+and 10 -3 m, the inhibitions were 77% and 100% and, with selenite 10 -4 m and
+10 -3 m, about 70%. in general the inhibitors are effective within orders of
+magnitude which are similar in vivo and in vitro. atractyloside is rather more
+effective in vitro than in vivo, and mepacrine rather less. it is easier to
+achieve total inhibitions of the active transport of sugars in vitro than of

+acetylthiocholine and acetylselenocholine exert acetylcholine-like effects on
+the guinea-pig ileum and frog rectus abdominis preparations. with the
+latter preparation, responses to acetylthiocholine and acetylselenocholine,
+in contrast to that to acetylcholine, are not enhanced by the addition of an
+anticholinesterase. this is attributable to the relatively high activity of
+the hydrolysis products, cholinethiol and cholineselenol; acetylthiocholine
+and acetyselenocholine undergo enzymatic hydrolysis at approximately the same
+rate as does acetylcholine. the hydrolysis products of acetylthiocholine and
+acetylselenocholine, which have effects on the guinea-pig ileum comparable
+to those of the parent esters, are readily oxidized in air to the relatively
+inactive choline disulfide and choline diselenide, respectively. these
+observations are helpful in explaining many of the apparently contradictory

+the article, with an extensive bibliography, is a compendium of available
+information on selenium toxicity in domestic animals. literature reveals
+evidence of organically bound se being more biologically active, when given
+orally to domestic animals, than inorganic se salts. there is also variation
+in toxicity of organic se analogs. when exposed to ruminal digestion, there is
+considerable reduction of se salts to the relatively biologically inactive
+elemental se; which may result in fecal excretion of se, as such, to as much
+as 40% of a single oral dose. fluorine, molybdenum, chromium, vanadium,
+cadmium, zinc, cobalt, nickel and uranium increase se toxicity. arsenic and
+tungsten give some protection against it. bromobenzene, benzene, and
+napthalene
+mobilize tissue se and stimulate its excretion. since se preparations designed
+for topical application in treatment of skin disease have been available for
+use
+in both man and dogs, the literature has reported cases of poisoning from
+misuse
+of such preparations. selenium, properly used, can be a valuable therapeutic
+agent, though certain salts of se must be regarded as potentially toxic.
+however, there is considerable latitude between therapeutic and/or nutritional
+and toxic doses of these salts.

+transplantation resistance could be demon-
+strated after allograft pretreatment with

+mors. allograft pretreatment with rous

+ture used for sensitization it was readily

+of 10-3 in the serum used for challenge,
+but not invariably detected in a concentra-
+tion of 10-4. if byg (absolute dosage 50
+ug.) had formed approximately 1/50 of the
+sensitizing mixture, it was infrequently
+detected even when present in the challeng-
+ing serum in a concentration of 10-2. it

+cular structure of the neoplasm, making it

+krebs ii mouse ascites-tumor cells infected
+with encephalomyocarditis virus were
+found to contain, in addition to mature virus,
+a virus-specific protein antigen. an
+assay, based on the ability of this antigen
+to block the neutralization of purified virus
+by its specific antiserum, was developed.
+this antigen was present both in the cul-
+ture fluid 17 hr. after the infection of cells
+with virus and intracellularly, where its
+titer increased at a time when viral capsid
+protein was being synthesized. within the
+cell, it was mostly localized in the soluble
+cell sap. in contrast with virus, the anti-
+gen did not agglutinate sheep erythrocytes,
+and its immunological properties were
+destroyed by digestion with trypsin. ribonucleic
+acid was not detected in concentrat-
+ed preparations of the antigen, nor was the titer
+of antigen affected by ribonuclease.
+the antigen had a sedimentation coefficient (20 )
+of approx. 14s, and its diffusion co-
+efficient, determined by the method of allison and
+humphrey (1960), was 3.2 x 10-7
+sq. cm. sec.-1. the particle weight of the antigen
+was hence 420,000 40,000. the
+capsid protein from purified encephalomyocarditis
+virus could be degraded by treat-
+ment with ethanolamine into a protein of sedimentation
+coefficient (20 ) of approx. 4s.
+the 14s antigen, when similarly treated, yielded
+a protein of similar size. however,
+no such smaller antigen was detected in virus-infected
+cells. it is concluded that the
+non-hemagglutinating antigen represents a polymeric
+form of the basic viral capsid-
+protein molecule and that it is synthesized in the
+cytoplasm of infected cells. it may
+be either an intermediate or a by-product in the
+process of viral capsid-protein syn-
+thesis.

+distribution of these antigens differed in
+individual cases and was not related to the
+histopathological classification and site
+of the tumors. however, these antigens
+increased in parallel with growth of the
+tumors and disappeared or markedly
+decreased after surgical removal of the tumor
+tissue. almost all sera of patients with

+oma formed one characteristic line in

+ferentiated from the patterns in cases of carcinoma.

+2354. isoantigenic properties of tumors transgressing histocompatibility
+barriers of the h-2 system
+sublines capable of transgressing h-2 histocompatibility
+barriers have been derived
+from strictly strain-specific tumors by 1) passage
+through newborn hosts of a
+foreign genotype; 2) passage through adult h-2
+incompatible recipients pretreated
+with isoantisera directed against the tumor cells.
+the nonspecific character induced
+by these procedures was usually expressed in a
+number of different h-2 incompa-
+tible recipients. the changes responsible for
+the conversion to nonspecific growth
+appeared to proceed in a stepwise fashion.
+expression of the nonspecific character
+required exposure to the foreign host environment
+for more than 30 days. at this
+stage and during the subsequent 3 transfer
+generations, reversion to strain-specific
+growth occurred on back-transfer to the
+strain of origin; after 4 passages in the
+foreign hosts the nonspecific character was
+permanently established, however, and
+could not be reverted by prolonged passage
+in the original host genotype. the
+growth rate of strain-specific tumors and
+their nonspecific sublines was compared
+in the strain of origin. no difference was
+found with one tumor, while the strain-
+specific line grew better than the nonspecific
+sublines with another. this difference
+was detected in the homozygous strain of
+origin and in different semi-isologous f1
+hybrids. all lines grew better in the
+homozygous strain than in the f1 hybrids,
+however. a comparison was made
+between the concentration of h-2 isoantigenic
+surface determinants in strain-specific
+tumors and their nonspecific sublines by a
+quantitative absorption technique in
+vitro. all nonspecific sublines had a lower
+concentration of h-2 isoantigens than
+the strain-specific tumors. this suggests
+that nonspecific tumors develop as a result
+of immunoselection of variants resistant
+to the homograft reaction and are characterized
+by a lowered concentration of
+h-2 antigens.

+were prepared and male rabbits were
+immunized. the animals were bled to death
+10 days after the last injection. testing
+included fluorescent antibody methods and
+agar-gel horizontal double-diffusion precipitin
+test. the pattern of reaction of these
+antibodies against various cancers seems to
+be dependent upon the source of the
+cancerous dna-bound proteins and the salt
+concentration used in their isolation.
+human cancer-specific cross nuclear antigens
+seem to be cross reacting rather
+than identical in structure. the cancer-specific
+antibodies could be removed only
+with absorption of the immune globulins with
+cancerous tissues. salt-soluble human
+dna-bound proteins from an adenocarcinoma
+of the colon and an ewing's sarcoma
+induced the formation of cancer specific
+antibodies which showed positive fta re-
+actions (to a maximum titer of 1/128) against
+95% of the cancerous tissues studied.

+adjacent to metastatic carcinoma of colon, nor-
+mal appearing colon near to metastatic
+carcinoma of the colon, normal appearing
+colon near to carcinoma of the colon,
+and a long-standing case of chronic ulcerative
+colitis. evidence is shown that this finding
+possibly may represent a serological
+detection of an early or latent cancerous
+change in morphologically normal cells.

+identified as rounded, intranuclear dna-
+bodies and nuclear proteins which can be

+266. immunology of the cancer cell: tumour-specific antigens
+after a broad historical survey of immunological
+studies of cancer, a review is given
+of the evidence showing that antigens present in
+normal cells are missing from the
+malignant cells that arise from the same tissue.
+this evidence is considered in con-
+junction with the deletion hypothesis of carcinogenesis,
+and the author emphasizes,
+that in his view, the key event in carcinogenesis
+is enzymatic deletion. antigenic
+gain and intensification in the course of spontaneous,
+chemical, and viral carcino-
+genesis is reviewed, together with experiments
+demonstrating the existence of
+tumour-specific antigens. the question is then
+posed: if tumours have specific anti-
+gens, why is evidence for their rejection so scanty?
+the occasional spontaneous re-
+gression points to host resistance but its rarity
+suggests that tolerance generally
+develops. consideration is given to the
+application of immunological methods to
+therapy and although current achievement
+in this field is limited, new immunological
+stratagems might yet transform the picture.
+finally a plea is made for the integra-
+tion of the disciplines of immunology and
+cellular differentiation. the prospect is
+raised that through a synthetic and holistic
+approach we might discover the suscepti-
+bility of the cancer cell to re-differentiation
+and re-recognition.

+the analysis of the function of the kidneys give a contribution to
+the pathophysiology of two different diseases of general osteopathies
+whose pathogenesis or etiology are still not clear in some points. the
+phosphate clearance pre- and postoperative in one patient with hyper-
+parathyroidism showed that after the removal of the adenoma of the
+parathyroid the renal reabsorption of phosphate improved only tempo-
+rary as a secondary form of hyperparathyroidism was already present.
+in a patient with a "phosphatdiabetes" the clearance examination showed
+that under a high dosage of vitamin d the reabsorption of phosphate did
+not increase. based on these results we have not continued therapy
+with vitamin d which is certainly not indifferent. comparative renal
+clearance examinations were carried out in 10 patients which did not
+show any disturbances of calcium/phosphate-metabolism.

+the unreliability of the titan yellow method
+for the determination of magnesium
+in patients receiving intravenous
+calcium gluconate
+gluconate was found to interfere with the determination of magnesium by the
+titan yellow method. with this method, false low results were found in the
+serum and urine of patients receiving intravenous calcium gluconate. the
+interference can be prevented by ashing of the specimen.

+absorption and excretion of toxogonin, an alkyl-phosphate antidote,
+after intramuscular injection in man
+tolerance, absorption and urinary excretion stu-
+dies of toxogonin (bis-(4-hydroxyiminomethyl-
+pyridine-1-methyl) ether dichloride), a specific anti-
+dote in poisoning by esterase-blocking organic
+phosphates, were made on 11 men by intramuscular
+injection of 250 mg. (ca. 3 mg./kg.) of the drug,
+given by self-injection ampoules. injections made
+with the automatic ampoule autule caused no local
+irritation. certain facial symptoms reported can for
+the time being be regarded as resorptive side-effects
+of toxogonin. maximum blood levels of 6 ug./ml.
+were recorded within 20 minutes. even after four
+hours the level was still 1-2 ug./ml., a concentra-
+tion amply sufficient to ensure reactivation of blood
+esterases. of the injected dose, 52% was excreted
+in the urine after two hours, 87% after eight hours.
+toxogonin appears to pass through the body un-
+changed.

+the study of osteoporosis
+and osteomalacia
+radiological evidence strongly suggests that
+osteoporosis (with the possible exception of acute
+immobilization osteoporosis) may be an irrever-
+sible condition. the changes therefore to be
+expected in calcium balance when an osteoporotic
+is treated are small compared with those often
+seen in osteomalacia. methods of obtaining more
+accurate calcium balances are needed to show
+these small changes, especially when a high
+calcium intake is used. the method of continuous
+marking of stools with chromium sesquioxide
+seems to provide just such a method. using this
+method, it has so far proved impossible to obtain
+prolonged large positive calcium balances in
+osteoporosis on either high calcium intake,
+anabolic hormones, or sodium fluoride.
+two alternative therapies to vitamin d have
+been explored for use in vitamin d-resistant
+osteomalacia. atp has been found to be inneffective.
+intravenous phosphate alone has been ineffective
+in producing positive calcium balances, but is
+effective as a complement to vitamin d under
+certain conditions.

+the aetiology and treatment of
+urinary calculus
+investigations in this laboratory have been
+based on the hypothesis that calculus formation is
+primarily a process of crystallization from super-
+saturated solutions rather than one of adsorption
+on a specific protein matrix, as has been postulated
+by boyce and his colleagues (boyce and king,
+1963). that crystallization is the primary factor
+is strongly suggested by the recent studies of
+vermeulen, lyon and gill (1964). these authors
+produced artificial concretions which closely
+resembled urinary calculi by immersing a rotating
+wire loop in normal urine for several days and
+slowly adding the appropriate stone-forming
+elements.
+if the above hypothesis is correct then the
+factors of primary interest in urinary stone
+formation are those responsible for supersaturation,
+nucleation and crystal poisoning. much remains
+to be learnt about these various factors, their
+inter-relationships, and their relative importance.
+the significance of the urinary colloids (proteins,
+muco-proteins and polysaccharides) in calculus
+formation is still not clear but it is probable that
+they play an important secondary role in binding
+crystalline precipitates to form a non-friable
+calculus. since time is an important factor in
+crystal growth such non-specific binding by
+proteins would increase the chances of stone
+growth and retention within the upper urinary
+tract.

+control of idiopathic hypercalciuria
+the paper discusses the causes of hypercalciuria and describes
+15 cases of different origins all of which presented similarly
+with renal stones. the diagnosis of idiopathic hypercalciuria
+was made by exclusion. the effects of dietary restriction of
+calcium, sodium bicarbonate, cortisone, sodium phosphate,
+sodium phytate, and cellulose phosphate were demonstrated by
+calcium and phosphorus balance techniques. all were shown
+to have some urinary-calcium-lowering effect. finally, a
+chlorothiazide derivative--namely, bendrofluazide--was also
+demonstrated to have a hypocalciuric effect, and the mode of
+action is discussed.

+========================
+BUILD OUTPUT DESCRIPTION
+========================
+
+When you build an Java application project that has a main class, the IDE
+automatically copies all of the JAR
+files on the projects classpath to your projects dist/lib folder. The IDE
+also adds each of the JAR files to the Class-Path element in the application
+JAR files manifest file (MANIFEST.MF).
+
+To run the project from the command line, go to the dist folder and
+type the following:
+
+java -jar "Modelo_matem_tico.jar"
+
+To distribute this project, zip up the dist folder (including the lib folder)
+and distribute the ZIP file.
+
+Notes:
+
+* If two JAR files on the project classpath have the same name, only the first
+JAR file is copied to the lib folder.
+* Only JAR files are copied to the lib folder.
+If the classpath contains other types of files or folders, these files (folders)
+are not copied.
+* If a library on the projects classpath also has a Class-Path element
+specified in the manifest,the content of the Class-Path element has to be on
+the projects runtime path.
+* To set a main class in a standard Java project, right-click the project node
+in the Projects window and choose Properties. Then click Run and enter the
+class name in the Main Class field. Alternatively, you can manually type the
+class name in the manifest Main-Class element.
