Some observations on the use of oral contraception. Women who choose to use oral contraceptives generally make that decision without sufficient factual information concerning alternative methods of birth control.  Information about the side effects of oral contraceptives is provided, but women are not in a position to adequately evaluate these risks, unless they have also received complete and impartial information on alternative methods.  A number of biases on the part of physicians and other family planning personnel preclude an impartial delivery of this information.  Family planners tend to favor oral contraceptives and IUDs over condoms and foam, a bias enhanced by the fact that the former methods have been studied extensively and are supported with use-effectiveness rates.  The latter methods have not been as thoroughly studied and information, such as use-effective rates for foams and condoms in combination, is not available.  The current attitude, that adolescents, minority women, and young mothers with several children are in need of the most highly effective birth control method does little to encourage an unprejudiced presentation of other methods.  Prescribing the pill is also more convenient and saves the time of the clinician.  The author calls upon clinicians to become aware of their biases and women to assert their right to make an "informed choice."

Board requirements for economists who write on medical subjects? A comment on The Condition of Surgery. The conventional economic ideal of supply and demand market forces is inappropriate--and imperfect--in allocating medical resources. The "practice of surgery" includes qualitative and economic values beyond numerical counts of operations or fees. National interests will be better served by regulating the professional requirements for surgical practice.


Testing with puromycin and amino acyl tRNAs that limit the rate of peptide chain extension. With puromycin one can recognize when the synthesis of a given protein is dependent on amino acyl tRNA that is present in rate limiting amount. We demonstrate this use of puromycin by its interaction with another inhibitor, L-o-methylthreonine. L-o-methylthreonine lowers the Ile-tRNA concentration in the cell, thereby inhibiting synthesis of proteins containing isoleucine. In certain rabbits, the alpha hemoglobin chain has three isoleucyl residues and the beta chain none. L-o-methylthreonine thus inhibits alpha globin synthesis in intact reticulocytes from these rabbits. When puromycin and L-o-methylthreonine are used together, the two inhibitors synergize in inhibiting alpha globin synthesis. Hence, puromycin is a more effective inhibitor when the Ile-tRNA concentration is lowered. Cycloheximide and sodium fluoride have different modes of action from puromycin. Neither synergizes with L-o-methylthreonine; instead, the interaction is less than additive. We have found that beta chain synthesis in rabbit reticulocytes is more sensitive than alpha to inhibition by puromycin. This difference could reflect either differences in amino acid sequence or tRNA dependent limitations of beta chain elongation. The switch from fetal to adult hemoglobin in humans does not involve changes in limiting amino acyl tRNA because, for cord blood from infants of different developmental ages, the puromycin sensitivity of incorporation into gamma and beta chains remains constant.


Quality of care and unnecessary operations: a comment on The Condition of Surgery. Issues of quality of surgical care and unnecessary operations are complex, and they will require more objective and clinically based investigations before reasonable economic judgements can be made. SOSSUS did not shy away from these questions; rather, it kept to its assigned task of describing the distribution and workloads of physicians.


"The study on surgical services for the United States": a valid prescription for American surgery? The overall approach of SOSSUS to the study of surgical services, the interpretation of findings, and policy recommendations are rightly called into question. But singular concern with the consequences of monopolistic control by the profession is no substitute for analysis of the dynamics among demand, production, and supply of surgery. Any delivery system--and many models are feasible--involving consumers, providers, and payers is a market in which multidimensional behavior must be anticipated.


A reply to the comments on The Condition of Surgery. Any system of allocation of services works more efficiently in the consumer's interest when there is competition among suppliers of the service. But this same competition reduces income and options of sellers. Professionals-as-sellers are likely to resist competition by restricting entry into their ranks and the range of qualities to be offered. An informed consumer should be allowed to exercise discretion in choosing among qualities and substitutions. Future policy might well incorporate less reliance on regulation and more on removing barriers to free market factors.

Infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus bovis resistant to the lethal effect of penicillin G. Penicillin G alone is generally recommended for the treatment of infective endocarditis caused by Streptococcus bovis because clinical isolates of S bovis are represented as being uniformly and markedly susceptible to penicillin G. However, two strains of S bovis recovered from two patients with bacterial endocarditis were resistant to the lethal effect of penicillin G. Combination therapy, cefazolin sodium and gentamicin sulfate in patient 1 and penicillin G and gentamicin in patient 2, was necessary; synergy, as manifested by lethal activity against the infecting strains, was demonstrated in the laboratory. We stress the need to determine the minimal lethal concentration of penicillin G for clinical isolates of S bovis. Until such information is available, particularly in life-threatening infections, combination drug therapy, consisting of an aminocyclitol added to a beta-lactam antimicrobic, should be used.

Partial purification and characterization of two hen oviduct protein synthesis initiation factors capable of initiation complex formation.


Purification and some properties of the histidyl-tRNA synthetase from the cytosol of rabbit reticulocytes. The histidyl-tRNA synthetase of rabbit reticulocyte cytosol has been purified 84 000-fold to apparent homogeneity with a specific activity of 687 nmol of histidyl-tRNA formed per min per mg of protein. Ten to 15% of the enzyme activity is sedimented with the ribosomes while the remainder is in the cytosol. The purified enzyme has a molecular weight of 122 000 as determined by sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Gel electrophoresis in the presence of 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate suggests that it is composed of two similar subunits with a molecular weight of approximately 64 000. The enzyme has a magnesium optimum of 45 mM; however, this is reduced to 5 mM in the presence of an intracellular potassium concentration (160 nM). The enzyme acylates the two histidine tRNA isoacceptors of rabbit reticulocytes with similar Km values and at similar rates.

Regulation of an aspartyl-tRNA species in BHK cells in culture and in solid tumor form. II. The effect of different sera on aspartyl-tRNA in culture. In normal tissues aspartyl tRNA is present in 3 separable components by RPC-5-chromatography, 2 small and early eluting peaks and a major component designated rRNAAspIII. A late eluting peak, tRNAAspIV has also been found in many tumors of human and animals origin, and in BHK 21/13 cells grown in culture, where 27% or more of the total aspartate acceptance occurs in this peak. In contrast, normal tissue studied, i.e., hamster liver or kidney, exhibits less than 2.0% of the total aspartyl tRNA as the late eluting tRNAAspIV. Increasing the level of fetal calf serum in the medium from 5 to 15% resulted in a change from 0.79 to 1.83 in the ratio of tRNAAspIII--tRNAAspIV in BHK cells. Utilizing sera from different species, the percentage of tRNAAspIV was found to vary between 26.8 and 66.0% while the combined percentages of tRNAAspIII and tRNAAspIV varied between 59.5 and 80.8%. It appears that the increased tRNAAspIII was derived from tRNAAspIV and vice versa indicating that there may be a close structural relationship between tRNAAspIII and tRNAAspIV. It was also observed that BHK tumor cells or ascitic fluid enhanced the appearance of tRNAAspIV in normal host liver.

Some recent developments in quantum organic chemistry. The present status of attempted to calculate chemical behaviour in organic chemistry in a quantitative manner is reviewed. Results given by a new semiempirical SCF MO method (MNDO) are reported. Specific topics discussed include the calculation of molecular vibration frequencies, entropies, specific heats, entropies of activation, kinetic isotope effects, and the mechanisms of several organic reactions, in particular the Diels-Alder reaction and the Cope rearrangment.


Biomimetic syntheses of phenols from polyketones. As a result of speculation that many enzymes control polyketone cyclization in vivo by converting a key carbonyl group to a cis-enol ether derivative, we describe two novel biomimetic cyclizations. The first involves condensation of two C6 units derived from triacetic lactone to form an arylpyrone related to aloenin. In the second a naphthapyrone of the rubrofusarin type is formed by condensation of an orsellinic acid derivative with the ether of triacetic lactone.


Selective homogenous and heterogeneous catalysis. Catalysis of organic reactions by micellar aggregates in aqueous solution lacks synthetic utility in its present state, largely for two reasons: first, the selectivity attainable in a loose unstructured micelle is low, with little possibility of attaining the degree of substrate differentiation possible in enzymes, and, second, the scale of reaction is limited, since surfactant must be in large excess over reactant to avoid swamping of the catalytic effect. The discussion will cover initial attempts to overcome these drawbacks. Increased selectivity is apparent in the promotion of ester hydrolysis by micelles of asymmetric chain-functionalized surfactants. In the most favourable circumstances 3:1 discrimination in the rate of reaction of ester enantiomers may be observed. Increased scale of reaction is obtainable when polymer-linked cationic surfactants are used as insoluble catalysts, and these hold promise for various anionactivation reas are used as insoluble catalysts, and these hold promise for varous anion-activation reactions. Specific attention is given to mechanistic aspects of homogenous and heterogeneous catalysis.


Studies on enzyme models and on the enzyme carboxypeptidase A. The enzyme carboxypeptidase A has been extensively studied and is thus a good candiate for chemical models and imitation. A model system was constructec which combined two of the three catalytic functional groups of the enzyme together with the appropriate substrate group, and cooperative effective catalysis was demonstrated. However, the mechanism which the model system used in enzyme-like conditions was unexpected, and this led to a study of the enzyme itself. Carboxypeptidase A was studied by examination of oxygen-18 exchange reactions and the ability of the enzyme to substitute only lytic agents, such as methanol, forthe water which is normally used. The result of these studies is proposed mechanism of action of this enzyme which accommodates the large amount of information already available, and which indicates that this enzyme uses a mechanism similar to that found in the model system. Approaches have also been made to an artificial enzyme which could hydrolyse amides. Cyclodextrin has been functionalized with two imidazole groups placed on opposite sides of the cavity. This material catalyses the hydrolysis of an amide, which binds to the cyclodextrin cavity and then is hydrolysed with the assistance of one imidazole in its basic form and the other one in its protonated form, acting together in a way reminiscent of the cooperation of some of the functional groups of hydrolytic enzymes.


Ideas and experiments in biosynthesis.

Ideas and experiments in biosynthesis. During the past 25 years or so, there has been almost undreamed of progress in understanding the pathways by which living systems synthesize the remarkable range of substances they contain. This progress could not have been made had not isotopes of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen become available in quantity at a time when the intellectual climate was right for their penetrating application in biosynthetic research. It was by his generation of far-reaching ideas about biosynthesis that Sir Robert Robinson made such a major contribution to establishing this right climate. His thinking pointed the way for many studies on living systems. Several examples will be discussed which were of particular interest to Sir Robert, such as the biosynthesis of morphine and colchicine, and another topic which is currently at a fascinating stage of development, the biosynthesis of natural porphyrins. New equipment and techniques, especially 13C n.m.r. spectroscopy and high-pressure liquid chromatography, have helped in a borad study of the biochemical conversion of porphobilinogen into uroporphyrinogen-III which must be formed by some rearrangement process. It is established that a single intramolecular rearrangement occurs and that this step comes at the end of the assembly of four porphobilinogen units which forms the unrearranged bilane.


Biosynthesis in theory and practice: structure determinations. Classical appraoches to structure determinations of natural molecules can be assisted by biosynthetic considerations. Application of these needs some structural evidence, based on degradations and spectra, as to biogenetic type. This evidence can be effectively supplemented by incorporations of precursors labelled with 14C, 13C or 15N, as appropriate, with examinations of the distributions of label in the product. Several examples of both classical and incorporation techniques are reviewed.


Design of a specific oxidant for phenols. Selective ortho-substitution of phenols can be secured, in principle, by attachment of the substituting reagent to the phenolic hydroxy group and subsequent rearrangement of this derivative by a cyclic mechanism into the orthoposition. So far, only one example of this principle (the Claisen rearrangement) is well established. For ortho-hydroxylation, a phenolic ester of selenium(IV) should have the desired properties. Diphenylseleninic anhydride, PhSE(=0)0.Sec(=0)Ph, has proved has proved to be the new reagent for the application of this mechanism. Several phenols, including models of the phenolic ring A of tetracycline, gave o-hydroxydienones, with quinones and phenylselenated species as by-products, when treated with diphenylseleninic anhydride. When the phenols were converted into their corresponding anions before treatment with the anhydridide, the o-hydroxydienones were obtained in good yield free from other products arising from reaction at the para position. When phenols were added to a warm solution of diphenylseleninic anhydride, they were oxidized to the o-quinones even when the phenols were not substituted in para position.


Synthesis of sesquiterpenoids of biogenetic importance. The contribuation made by Sir Robert Robinson to sesquiterpene chemistry and to the development of the biogenetic isoprene rule are discussed. Examaples of the great utility of the Robinson Ring Annelation in synthetic organic chemistry are given with reference to steroid and sesquiterpene systems. Recent modifications to the original method are also mentioned. The close relationship of the eremophilane sesquiterpenes and the spiro sesquiterpenes, which follows from the biogenetic derivation of eremophilone by Robinson, is the basis for the synthetic strategy under discussion leading to chiral spiro sesquiterpenes. This approach makes use of chiral starting material couples with subsequent stereospecific processes leading to sesquiterpenes of stereochemical interest and complexity.


Rules for ring closure.

Rules for ring closure. The ease of formation of cyclic structures shows some regularity which can be described by a set of 'rules' for ring closure. The restrictions on the endocyclic transfer of groups due to SN2 displacements having linear transition states are exemplified by studied on a biogenetic type synthesis of penicillin and, more generally, on the endocyclic attack of a nucleophile attached by a linking chain to an enone or polarized double bond. The formation of five-memebered rings is considered. In base, enones such as 4-hydroxy- and 4-amino-2-methylenebutanoates close exocyclically to give the corresponding five-membered lactones and lactams, respectively. Hydroxymethyl vinyl ketones, however, do not cyclize in base. In strong acid, hydroxy-enones close endocyclically to five-membered ring, as in the formation of cyclic ethylene ketals from acetone and ethanediol. The endocyclic closure of nucleophilic centres to polarized double bonds to give five-membered rings is impeded by restrictions of geometry; these restrictions can be overcome in acid through the generation of oxonium or protonated forms.

Preoperative information and recovery of open-heart surgery patients. Postoperatively, 19 adult open-heart surgery patients were interviewed as to information, included or not included in preoperative instruction, they identified as important to recovery. It was found that subjects desired details of all aspects of their conditions and treatment--preoperatively, operatively, and postoperatively. They had the greatest difficulty with pulmonary aspects of their care postoperatively. Subjects indicated a specific need for more information about the endotracheal tube, the ventilator, mucus, suctioning, deep breathing and coughing, and chest tube removal. Subjects experienced transient, primarily depressive, nonpsychotic postoperative mood changes unrelated to preoperative information, physical manifestations, and/or behavioral manifestations. Subjects regarded the nurse as an important provider of information and found the content of preoperative information satisfactory but wanted more individualization of instruction. They also indicated a need for more family involvement in preoperative instruction to provide them with information of the patient's progress throughout hospitalization. Questions and hypotheses for future research were generated.

Effect of extreme amino acid starvation on the protein synthetic machinery of CHO cells. When CHO cells are incubated under conditions of extreme amino acid starvation, effected by withdrawal of an amino acid from the medium together with genetic or chemical interference with the activity of the corresponding aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, there is a rapid and profound decline in the functional capacity of the protein synthetic machinery. The effect was observed for all amino acids tested including leucine, asparagine, histidine, methionine and glutamine. This decline in protein synthetic potential appears to be due to a progressive permanent inactivation of the specific aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase concerned, as shown by a decline in the amount of cellular, specific aminoacyl-tRNA and a decline in the cell-free enzyme activity, measured after reversal of the starvation conditions. When cells are left for more than several hours under these starvation conditions, they shrink in size, lose viability and eventually disintegrate, with anomalous rapidity. We suggest that the progressive loss of protein synthetic capacity of the cells is the prime cause of these subsequent events. If the starvation conditions are reversed before cell death, regeneration of the protein synthetic potential occurs rapidly but requires protein synthesis itself, implying the existence of strong control mechanisms for cellular aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase activities.

Observations of non-suppurative middle ear problems in Nigerian children.


Reduction of young child malnutrition and mortality in rural Jamaica. A systematic program to improve health and survival for the 6651 preschool children in Hanover Parish, Jamaica began in 1973.  Regular anthropometric surveillance ensured early identification of malnourished children in whose homes nutritional advice was then provided.  In addition some children were provided with supplemental dried skim milk and basic medical care.  The program was begun in the eastern half of the parish in 1974; it was thus possible to observe sequential decline in the prevalence of malnutrition and mortality.  10.9% of the children in the eastern section were considered to be malnourished at the start of the program in 1973; by 1974 that figure was 5.9% and the number in the west where the program was just beginning was 13%.  By 1975 the prevalence in both sections was about 6.4%.  In addition the mortality rate was 14.5/1000 before the program and 6/1000 afterwards, a drop of 60%.  Other factors which might have influenced these conditions were not found to be significant.  These tests confirm earlier findings in Jamaica that even a simple program such as this could provide substantial improvement of child health in rural areas of developing countries.

Evaluation of school health education: identifying purpose, keeping perspective. This paper discusses 2 problems associated with evaluation of school health education programs: 1) why evaluate at all; and 2) what criteria, assuming a need to evaluate the programs, are most appropriate for assessing program effectiveness?  The need for evaluation arises from public interest in and concern for health promotion and prevention.  Given the need to educate the population for purposes of prevention, the specific immediate function of school health education must be clarified so that programs are not judged on outcome criteria that are inappropriate or unrealistic.  To this end, school health educators are encouraged to view their teaching tasks in the proper perspective, one of the potentially valuable factors for improving the quality of life of the population served.  School programs should especially apply themselves to evaluative research activities addressed to behavioral and health effects to demonstrate the relationships between health education in the school and the benefits the student will accrue over time.  In essence, then, school programs should focus on modifying behaviors which will be used to prevent disease or ill health prior to the signs or symptoms of illness.  It is emphasized that attempts to establish immediate behavior change as goals of school programs would be naive.  Federal and state initiatives are needed to support the necessary cost-benefit studies and the long-term evaluations required for policy decisions concerning school health education programs.  Local support is adequate to perform short-term studies of impact on knowledge and skills of specific health education programs.

A right to what? : toward adequate minimum standards for personal health services.


Teaching poetry writing to the old and the ill. When people are separated from the activities and relationships that make life so passionately interesting, they are separated from real accomplishment. A poet's non-therapeutic approach to writing led a group of ill and handicapped nursing home residents, aged 59-93 years, to find new strengths of feeling and ideas. Above all, it gave them the real accomplishment of some beautiful poetry.


Planning and administrative perspectives on adequate minimum personal health services. Public resistance to equal distribution of medical care resources is supported by a union of usually contradictory forces--sophisticated science and superstitious credulity. In a field saturated with ethical imperatives and professional ambiguities, definitions of need become political weapons. Improvement in health policy will involve political doctrine, reorganization of knowledge, and more leverage in state and local government.


The Carter administration's health budget: charting new priorities with limited dollars. Although the budget is described by the Administration as a "full statement of its priorities," policy and spending are bound by past decisions. New program initiatives are limited to a few discretionary programs under the Public Health Service, but the massive budget does reveal personal preferences of the President and the Secretary. Some of these choices may not find congressional favor; yet the entire budget process shows the Democrats again endorsing the categorical approach reminiscent of the New Deal and the Great Society.


Health planning: progress, prospects, and issues. The new Health Planning Act may have prescribed collection of too much data, too soon. There is no refuge in numbers from the social, professional, and political complexities of planning. A mechanistic criterion of "need" breaks down on close examination--we will have to recognize the effect of "availability." There is little or no experience in carrying out policies of selective contraction; modesty in claims and moderation in pursuit of goals are called for.

The professional doctorate: rationale and characteristics. The position that it is time for the nursing profession to develop programs leading to the N.D. degree, or professional doctorate, (for the college graduates) derives from consideration of the nature of nursing, the contributions that nurses can make to development of an exemplary health care system, and from the recognized need for nursing to emerge as a full-fledged profession.  It derives from pride in the accomplishments made by nurses of the past; from discontent with the meager influence that nurses now have; and from anticipation of a future that will be created when a critical mass of nurses are provided opportunities for completing pre-service doctoral study. It derives from confidence that those nurses can and will so influence the health care system that all persons will be properly served with care that promotes their health, restores their function,, and enhances their independence in knowledgeably exploiting their own health-seeking behaviors.

Staff development for leadership.

Staff development for leadership. Leadership, that amorphous concept so essential to nursing and so difficult to describe in its broadest context, can be learned if viewed as a set of behaviors that may be applied selectively to assist a group to move toward its goals. Given a supportive climate, a variety of approaches are effective, including one-to-one consultation, role modeling, goal orientation, and workshops on specific leadership behaviors.


The role of the nursing administrator in collective bargaining. There is little doubt that collective bargaining is here to stay in hospital nursing, and it adds a new dimension to the nursing administrator's area of responsibility. Careful planning and preparation for participation, trust and open communication, an attitude of acceptance, and a focus on the positive aspects of the negotiations will place the nursing administrator in an advantageous position in regard to collective bargaining in any practice setting.


The role of clinical supervisors and head nurses in management. In this article, we have attempted to describe the process of change that occurred within two specific groups of the nursing administrative staff. When we began working with the individuals within this group of nursing managers, each possessed the skills and abilities that met the needs of the system and its concept of nursing at that time. Through discussion of issues related to nursing and nursing management, the clinical supervisors and head nurses developed an expanded concept of their responsibilities related to patient, personnel, and operational management. The initial actions we encouraged them to take related to increasing their involvement in providing direct patient care. Following this, they became more active in the areas of personnel and operational management. Our ultimate goal was to promote their active involvement in all three areas of management. At times, we became impatient with what seemed to be a slow process of change. We believed, however, that it was imperative to move slowly and not push for change beyond their level of readiness. As one of the clinical supervisors recently stated, "Change is fast; progress is slow." Within this group of nursing managers, changes have been made, the goals are being met, and progress is indeed apparent.


Assessment of weight and gestational age. Many established nursery routines are in conflict with the physician's responsibility to the infant and the needs of the mother. While the first hour after birth is a crucial time for the mother and the infant to be together, it is also a time when neonatal problems can be identified and often prevented. Unless a problem is suspected immediately, this first hour of life is not the time for a thorough examination. The assessment of gestational age may be carried out later, in the nursery, when the infant's condition has stabilized and the parents have had an opportunity to view their infant.


Nursing leadership in the critical care setting. The challenge of a nursing leadership role within the critical care setting is most unique in that two competencies are required--clinical and administrative talents. The development of such leaders also presents a challenge to administrators of health care settings. With administrative support of the nurse who aspires to such a role, we will continue to provide the caliber of care required by acutely ill and injured patients. Based on a philosophy of management that promotes both clinical and administrative talents, this plan will not only best serve the patient population of acute/critical care units but will also help foster the professional commitment of nurse practitioners and encourage them to aspire to such roles.


Application of leadership theory: integrating thought and action. While the experienced nursing director may and can make decisions quickly and intuitively, the student and the novice supervisor or director need tools to facilitate the process. The theories are presented not as iron-clad rules, but rather as guidelines to be used in selecting leadership behavior appropriate to circumstantial needs, which can vary widely in nursing.

Apnea in the premature infant: an overview of causes and treatment. In summary, apnea of prematurity is both a primary and a secondary disorder--a reflection of CNS immaturity as well as a response to an underlying problem. Premature infants are extremely vulnerable to developing apnea. Close monitoring by the nursing staff and early detection and treatment of apnea and its associated disorders are essential to insure optimal growth and development of these tiny infants.


Neonatal transport.

Neonatal transport. Communication and teamwork are the keynotes to a successful transport system. This requires a team not only trained in transport details but also able to give emergency care to stabilize the infant prior to transport. The effectiveness of neonatal transport in lowering infant mortality depends on the efficiency of team care before and during transport.

Supporting lactation when mothers and infants are separated: a clinical guideline for perinatal nurses. It has been our intention to describe the vital role a nurse may play in assisting a woman to establish lactation successfully. Stitt indicates that the two most common reasons why women decline to breast-feed are (1) embarassment about their lack of knowledge of techniques and (2) fear of failure. Nurses are in a unique position to intervene constructively in both instances. It is essential for nurses to explore their own feelings about breast-feeding and sexuality and to help each other recognize how attitudes and values affect care. Only through understanding ourselves can we become sensitive to the desires of those who need our care.

Hemoptysis.

Hemoptysis. Patients presenting with hemoptysis frequently have a serious underlying disease. Even when the amount of blood is minimal, thorough investigation is indicated. Since many different types of diseases give rise to bleeding from the respiratory tract, a careful and thorough diagnostic evaluation is indicated. Treatment depends upon the cause of the bleeding. Massive hemoptysis is frightening and requires more rapid assessment. When bleeding is considered to be massive, surgical intervention rather than conservative management yields the best chance of survival.

Factors influencing tone in rabbit large intestine. Pressure/volume curves obtained in the presence of papaverine have been compared with those obtained under control conditions in rabbit large intestine. Tension/length curves obtained on stimulation of the extrinsic nerve supply to the intestine have been compared with control curves. Evidence is presented for a small contribution of sustained muscular activity to the pressue/volume and tension/length curves. The effect of stretch on peak tension attained by the intestine has also been examined.


The influence of parathyroidectomy upon calcium and phosphate homeostasis in adult sheep. The absorption and secretion of Ca and PO4 were measured with the use of radioactive isotopes in 4 adult sheep before and after parathyroidectomy. Secretion of Ca and PO4 into the stomach and intestines was measured separately. Parathyroidectomy resulted in a negative balance for Ca and PO4 and an accompanying fall in plasma Ca and PO4 concentrations. In the case of PO4 this response was attributed primarily to a reduced intestinal absorption, but for Ca increases in urinary excretion and intestinal secretion also contributed significantly. Secretion of PO4 to the stomach was reduced but endogenous PO4 excretion in the faeces was unchanged which indicated a reduced reabsorption of secreted PO4 by the intestines.

H1 and H2 histamine actions on lung vessels; their relevance to hypoxic vasoconstriction. Pulmonary vasomotor actions of histamine and the possible relationship of histamine to hypoxic pulmonary vasconstriction were studied in anaesthetized cats with one lobe of lung perfused at constant flow and in isolated perfused rat and ferret lungs. In the cat histamine caused dilatation, biphasic responses and constriction with increasing doses. Histamine induced dilatation was better demonstrated during hypoxic vasoconstriction and was reduced by an H2 histamine antagonist; constriction with histamine was abolished by an H1 antagonist. Histamine also caused both vasodilatation and vasoconstriction in ferret lungs. A mast cell stabilizing agent had no effect on hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction in cats or rats. This response was unaffected in cats but greatly reduced in rats and ferrets by cyproheptadine, a combined histamine and 5-hydroxy-tryptamine inhibitor. It was unaffected in cats but abolished in ferrets an H1 histamine inhibitor. It was again unaffected in cats but greatly reduced in rats and ferrets by an H2 histamine inhibitor. These species differences may reflect differences in mechanism but more probably reflect non-specific effects of the inhibitors in certain circumstances. However, when drugs nearly abolished hypoxic vasoconstriction, ATP still caused vasoconstriction.


Effects of methacholine on the carotid chemoreceptors. The present electrophysiological study shows that methacholine (MCh), generally regarded as a muscarinic agonist, stimulates the carotid chemoreceptors in pentobarbitone anaesthetized cats. The response consisted of a primary increase in discharge, attributable to nicotinic actions of MCh since it was unaffected by atropine but abolished by mecamylamine, and a delayed secondary increase in discharge, due mainly to bronchoconstriction evoked by MCh. Physostigmine caused similar potentiation of responses to acetylcholine and MCh which implies that acetylcholinesterase is located close to the site(s) at which the drugs act to stimulate chemoreceptor activity. The findings are in agreement with the general principle that chemosensory activity is increased by nicotinic agonists but not by muscarinic agonists.


The effects of two analogues of arginine-vasopressin (ornithine-vasopressin and desamino-D-arginine-vasopressin) on kidney function in sheep. The effects of intravenous infusion of ornithine-vasopressin (OVP) and desamino-D-arginine-vasopressin (dDAVP) were studied in normal and hydrated Merino sheep. In normal sheep, OVP resulted in a diuresis, increased urinary sodium and potassium excretion, and a fall in the plasma potassium concentration. Renal plasma flow remained constant but glomerular filtration rate and filtration fraction rose markedly. dDAVP in normal sheep was antidiuretic, but its only significant effect was a small decrease in plasma osmolality. In the hydrated sheep OVP was antidiuretic and resulted in increased urinary excretion of sodium and potassium, and a fall in the plasma potassium level. Renal plasma flow fell, but glomerular filtration and filtration fraction tended to rise. dDAVP in the hydrated sheep was also antidiuretic but urinary sodium and potassium excretion was reduced. Renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration fell, with a small decrease in filtration fraction. These results suggest that the diuretic effect in normal sheep and the electrolyte-excreting effects in both normal and hydrated sheep of OVP are related to the increase in glomerular filtration, which in turn is dependent on the vasopressor activity of the hormone. The increase in glomerular filtration caused by OVP is due to an increase in the filtration fraction of an unchanged renal plasma flow, which could be brought about by an increase in renal efferent arteriolar tone. The effects of hydration of the sheep were the conventional increased urine flow, decreased urine osmolality and decreased solute-free water reabsorption. Sodium and potassium excretion rose slightly and plasma osmolality fell. Renal plasma flow and glomerular filtration both increased with little change in filtration fraction. These effects could be brought about by suppression of endogenous vasopressin and a decrease in both afferent and efferent renal arteriolar tone.


Acute cold exposure and the metabolism of glucose and some of its precursors in the liver of the fed and fasted sheep. Measurements of total body oxygen consumption, visceral and hepatic blood flow, oxygen consumption, exchanges of amino acids, lactate, pyruvate and glucose were made on sheep fed 3--6 h or 21 h before the experiment and exposed for 3 h to a neutral environment (15 degrees C) or a cold environment (0.5 to 4 degrees C with clipped coat and wind speed 2 m.s-1). Recent feeding significantly increasedd the total oxygen consumption and the oxygen consumption of the viscera and liver. No general release of amino acids from the viscera or uptake by the liver after feeding was detected although the arterial plasma concentration of essential amino acids did increase significantly after feeding. The plasma concentration of most non-essential amino acids also increased except that of glycine, which decreased significantly. Cold exposure increased the total oxygen consumption and reduced the respiratory quotient significantly. Release of amino acids from the viscera was stimulated by cold exposure. There was a variable increase in the hepatic uptake of lactate and alanine when the sheep were fasted and cold-exposed. The liver's glucose output doubled and the blood (arterial) glucose concentration significantly increased in the cold.

A comparative study of ticarcillin plus tobramycin versus carbenicillin plus gentamicin for the treatment of serious infections due to gram-negative bacilli. The combination of ticarcillin plus tobramycin (TT) or carbenicillin plus gentamicin (CG) was used to treat 82 patients with severe systemic gram-negative infection in a prospective, randomized study. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the primary pathogen in 7 (93 per cent) of these patients. Patients treated with TT responded more frequently (92 per cent or 37 of 40) than patients treated with CG (71 per cent or 30 of 42) (p is less than 0.05). This difference was primarily due to a greater response to TT in patients with pulmonary infections (93 per cent versus 68 per cent) and infections due to Pseudomonas (92 per cent versus 70 per cent). Severity of underlying disease was also an important determinant of response. Except for a greater incidence of hepatotoxicity with CG (23 per cent versus 3 per cent; p is less than 0.02), there was no difference in toxicity, colonization with drug-resistant microorganisms or superinfection between the two treatment groups. The combination of TT appears to be superior to CG for the treatment of pulmonary infections due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Parturient paresis of cows: blood glucose levels. During 1967, 1968 and 1969, blood samples were taken from 83 cows affected by parturient paresis. Whole blood glucose estimations were made on these samples. The range was 1.33 to 10.22 mmol/1 with an average of 3.94 mmol/1. Eighteen cows known to have been affected less than 4 hours had average levels of 3.06 +/- 1.11 mmol/1. All (except one) "previously untreated" cows with levels less than 3.33 mmol/1 were on their feet within 10 minutes whereas cows with higher levels than this had a 28.6% delayed recovery rate. The evidence suggests that low levels have no clinical significance but that higher levels are significant in that they occur as a result of prolongation of attacks of parturient paresis.


Decreased activity of peptide-elongation factors after treatment with cholesterol esterase. 1. Peptide-elongation factors were purified from rat liver and treated with cholesterol esterase and phospholipase A2 immobilized on Sepharose 4B. 2. Binding of L-[3H]-phenylalanyl-tRNA to 40S ribosomal subunits was decreased by approx. 70% and to polyribosomes by 30% in the presence of the binding factor incubated with cholesterol esterase. Treatment of this factor with immobilized phospholipase A2 decreased the binding to smaller ribosomal subunits by only about 15%. 3. Poly(U)-dependent phenylalanine polymerization by ribosomal subunits was decreased to approx. 30% of its original value by treatment of both elongation factors with cholesterol esterase. 4. The normal activity of esterase-treated elongation factor in both the binding reaction and peptide-elongation assay was fully recovered by the addition of cholesteryl 14-methyl-hexadecanoate. 5. Different classes of lipids present in peptide-elongation factor 1 have apparently different functions. Whereas phospholipids are required to maintain the strcture of heavy aggregates of this factor, the presence of cholesteryl 14-methylhexadecanoate is obviously necessary for the normal function of peptide-elongation factors.


Nucleotide sequence of phenylalanine transfer RNA from Schizosaccharomyces pombe: implications for transfer RNA recognition by yeast phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase. The nucleotide sequence of Schizosaccharomyces pombe tRNAPhe was determined to be pG-U-C-G-C-A-A-U-G**-G*-U-G-psi-A-G-D-D-G-G-G-A-G-C-A-psi-G*-A-C-A-G-A-Cm-U-Gm-A-A-Y-A-psi-m5C-U-G-U-U-G-m7G-U*-C-A-U-C-G-G-T-psi-C-G-A-U-C-C-C-G-G-U-U-U-G-U-G-A-C-A-C-C-AOH. This sequence differs from that of S. cerevisiae tRNAPhe in 27 nucleotides. Saccharomyces cerevisiae phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase aminoacylates both the homologous tRNAPhe and S. pombe t-NAPhe; the reactions have similar Km and Vmax values. However, the nucleotide sequence in the D stem is different in the two tRNAs. This region was proposed by Roe, B., et al. [(1973) Biochemistry 12, 4146--4154] to be the major recognition site for yeast phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase, but the present results cast doubt on the validity of this hypothesis.
