Management of bacterial infections in severely neutropenic subjects. The safety and efficacy of tobramycin, a new aminoglycoside, have been evaluated in combination antibiotic therapy in 49 episodes of infection in 25 neutropenic patients. Tobramycin was used in combination with a cephalosporin in 40 episodes and with carbenicillin in 6. The most common infections were respiratory (21 episodes) and septicaemic (16 episodes). One or more pathogens were identified in 38 episodes, of which 36 were due to Gram-negative organisms. The clinical response was satisfactory in 71% of episodes, and the pathogens were eliminated in 50% of episodes in which follow-up bacteriological investigation was available. No renal, auditory, or vestibular toxicity was observed.

Type A behavior pattern and hypertension among inner-city black women. Inner-city Black women were administered Rosenman and Friedman's A-B interview and invited to discuss stress experiences and traditional coronary heart disease risk factors while their blood pressure was monitored at two-minute intervals. Results revealed the essential reliability of the A-B classification for the sample and demonstrated a general congruence with type A behaviors reported in previous (mostly white male) samples. While type A Black women were not significantly more likely to be hypertensive than type B women, analyses of the intrasubject blood pressure variability revealed an interaction between A-B and hypertensive-normotensive status. Consistent with earlier findings, hypertensives were more variable than normotensives, but this was true only for type Bs; type As were intermediate and not differentiated in their variability. This finding calls attention to the possible adaptive function of type A behavior among stress inner-city Black females and raises the question of whether Rosenman and Friedman's personality theory might be objectionably simplistic.


Role supplementation: an empirical test of a nursing intervention. This study tested the effects of role supplementations, as a preventive nursing intervention, on families who were experiencing a transition from a dyadic to a triadic relationship through the birth of a first child. Three groups--experimental (N = 12), control (N = 36), and FamCap (N = 10)--participated. Participation in the role supplementation prograd did not sharpen communication skills, increase skill in role taking, or increase the congruency in role perceptions. The intervention did help experimental group wives to have lower anxiety scores postdelivery than other wives in the study, although anxiety increased in all subjects. Through role supplementation intervention, experimental wives showed significant differences in their perceptions and attitudes toward ignoring the infant, protectiveness of the infant, and responsiveness of intants' needs.


Educational program evaluation: the University of Vermont family nurse practitioner program. Graduates of the Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Program at the University of Vermont, Burlington, were surveyed to determine if the FNPs had enlarged their nursing roles following completion of the program. A sample of Vermont nurses served as a control group. Results of a questionnaire, used to obtain information about the nurses' training, functions, and attitudes, indicated that FNPs performed activities associated with an expanded nursing role more frequently than did their nonpractiioner counterparts. There was evidence that the two groups differed in their attitudes toward various aspects of their nursing roles. The evaluation is an ongoing study; as the number of program graduates increases, further characterization of their roles will be possible.

Core competencies of masters-prepared nurses. To identify a common core of process competencies that all masters-prepared nurses are expected to attain, regardless of area of clinical concentration or functional-role goal, a 68-item Process Competency Scale was devised from a conceptual model of the multiple roles of masters-prepared nurses: practitioner, educator, manager, and change agent. Responses from 118 questeionnaires from four groups of respondents revealed that 25 competency items met the criteria established for a core competency. There was uniform agreement that nursing educators should be high-level practitioners and that practitioners of nursing should attain teacher competencies.


The nurse's role in the management of Parkinson's disease.


Relationship of patient-nurse activity to intracranial pressure variations: a pilot study. Persons with increased intracranial pressure (ICP) from all causes are subject to periods of markedly increased pressure. Research since the initial clinical studies in the early 1960s has focused primarily on characteristics of ICP variations in specific pathologies and on mechanisms basic to increases in ICP rather than on the relationship between basic patient-care activities, such as moving the patient in bed, and variations in ICP. Therefore, nine patients with pressure-controlled ventriculostomy drainage systems were observed continuously for up to 24 hours to determine whate, if any, patient-nurse activities were associated with transient of sustained increased ICP. Frequencies of ventricular fluid drainage (VFD) during activity and nonactivity were compared to predicted frequencies. One patient had no VFD; eight patients had greater than predicted incidence of VFD associated with activity and less than predicted incidence associated with nonactivity. The difference between predicted and actual incidence of VFD was statistically significant (p less than .001) for all eight patients. Although each patient displayed individual patterns of specific activity associated with VFD, turning in bed and conversation about the patient's condition were consistent among the sample. Coughing, chewing use of bedpan, and restless movemenss were consistently associated with VFD in patients.

Open-mindedness, rigidity, and the tendency to change inferences among psychiatric nursing staff: a pilot study. To test the relationship between open- and closed-mindedness, between rigidity and nonrigidity, and the tendency of psychiatric nursing staff to alter inferences when given additional information about a patient, the Dogmatism Scale, Form E, And the Gough-Sanford Rigidity Scale were presented to 120 psychiatric nursing staff members, all employed and working directly with patients. Low-dogmatic subjects changed their inferences regarding patient behavior significantly more than high-dogmatic subjects. Although high-rigid subjects changed their inferences about patient behaviour more than low-rigid subjects, the relationship was not significant.

State borad examinaions and associate degree program effectiveness. Relative effectiveness of the 13 Washington State associate degree (AD) programs was rated by 102 directors of nursing, AD nursing educators, and state board members. When the programs were ranked according to these ratings and the average of the programs' state board examinations, only a small positive relationship was obtained. State board examinations, therefore, should not be used by state and federal agencies as a composite measure of program effectivensss. Instead, the examinations should remain an assessment of th eminimum competency of individuals.

Nurses' personal death concerns and responses to dying-patient statements. This study investigated the concept that a professional's awareness of concerns about her own death is helpful in the treatment of dying patients by using a fantasy of the subject's own life and death in relationship to her response to dying-patient statements. Data produced by this study supported this concept. The study also examined various defensive strategies to fear of death and their relationship to interactions with terminal patients. The defensive strategies were not found to contribute to the differential changes measured by this investigation.

Milk fever: a case against polypharmacy solutions. One hundred and thirty four cases of hypocalcaemia (parturient paresis) between April and Jul 1976 from 72 herds in the UK and Eire were used to compare the response to intravenous treatments with one of three solutions containing calcium salts. Two solutions contained 8 g calcium, one with added magnesium (1.03 g), a third solution contained 6.2 g calcium. The biochemical response obtained 24 hours after successful treatment from all solutions was similar. The clinical response with both 8 g calcium solutions was similar and significantly superior to that obtained with 6.2 g calcium (P less than 0.02 greater than 0.01). More cases (44 per cent) relapsed after treatment with 6.2 g calcium. There was no evidence that the added magnesium to the calcium solution improved the clinical response of parturient paresis cases in this spring claving season, as had been suggested previously. The herds providing these 134 cases had recorded an incidence of 8.04 per cent for parturient paresis in 1975.

Incidence of resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin and tetracycline among Salmonella species isolated in the Netherlands in 1972, 1973 and 1974. The resistance of Salmonellae to drugs has been studied in the Netherlands since 1958. In 1972, 1973, and 1974 respectively, 14241, 13086, and 22927 strains were tested for resistance to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, kanamycin and tetracycline. From 1973 all strains were also tested for resistance to trimethoprim. In the period covered, the yearly incidence of resistance to at least one of the above drugs ranged from 39.2% to 45.6% of all strains obtained from various sources (humans, animals, animal products, sewage, etc.). A new finding in the period 1972 to 1974 was that many multiply resistant strains emerged in S. typhimurium and in S. dublin isolated from calves and cattle. In 1974, 64.4% of all strains of S. typhimurium from these animals appeared to be resistant to ampicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and kanamycin, and 25.5% of those of S. dublin were found to be resistant to chloramphenicol and tetracycline. Of all strains of Salmonellae examined in 1973 and 1974 respectively, 0.15% and 0.22% were resistant to trimethoprim, the main component of the twin-drug cotrimoxazol. Of the 142 strains of S. typhi isolated in 1972 to 1974 two were resistant to tetracycline only, and one was resistant to all four antibiotics. The others had a normal susceptibility pattern.

Synthesis of 125I-labeled N-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionyl aminoacyl transfer ribonucleic acids. A method for the isolation and labeling to high specific radioactivity of individual isoaccepting tRNAs is described. After blocking reactive minor bases by acetylation and iodination of the crude tRNA, a single family of isoacceptors was aminoacylated. Individual isoacceptors were separated by chromatography on RPC-5 and then acylated with the 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionyl ester of N-hydroxysuccinimide. The product was purified by chromatography on BD-cellulose and RPC-5. This derivatized tRNA was then iodinated with 125I- and Chloramine-T to give a product containing between 5 X 10(7) and 3 X 10(8) dpm/microgram. The suitability of such labeled tRNAs for hybridization to homologous DNA in solution and cytological preparations of chromosomes is discussed with particular reference to Drosophila melanogaster.


Adaptation of the tRNA population of maize endosperm for zein synthesis. Maize endosperm, 30 days after pollination is actively synthesizing zein, a storage protein containing high amounts of glutamine. leucine and alanine. Endosperm tRNAs have a higher accepting activity than embryo tRNAs for these three amino acids, but not for some other (control) amino acids. This increase in accepting activity is accompanied by a change in the distribution of the isoaccepting tRNA species corresponding to these three amino acids, but not of the isoacceptors corresponding to some other (control) amino acids. These results are in favor of the theory of functional adaptation of tRNA population.


An inhibitor which interferes with the enzymatic aminoacylation of tRNA. Inactive, frozen and thawed cytoplasmic extracts of 3T3 and SV-101 (3T3 transformed by SV-40 virus) cells contain an inhibitor which blocks the poly(U)-directed incorporation of [14C]phenylalanine into polypeptides, catalyzed by active extracts of these cells. This inhibition is not reversed by adding increased amounts of poly(U). Furthermore, little or no inhibitory activity is observed when poly(U) translation is assayed using precharged [14C]Phe-tRNA. These results suggest that the observed inhibition is not due to the degradation of poly(U) by a nuclease. The inhibitor appears to act primarily at the level of tRNA charging since the synthesis of both Phe-tRNA and Lys-tRNA is impaired in its presence. Evidence is presented which indicates that the inhibitory activity is not due to a high molecular weight protein or nucleic acid. However, the inhibitor appears to be adsorbed to a macromolecule. The inhibitory activity is completely destroyed by ashing.


Effect of progesterone on the initiation of respiration of the newborn. On the 30th day of pregnancy, the experimental fetuses in 19 rabbits were injected intraperitoneally with 0.1-1.0 mg progesterone (P). The control fetuses in the contralateral uterine horn were treated with the solvent, sesame oil. Both the experimental and control fetuses were delivered 10 min after treatment by hysterotomy to measure the P concentration of their lung tissue and observe their respiration during the initial 2 h of postnatal life. In comparison with the controls, the experimental newborns had greatly elevated P levels and showed typical respiratory distress syndrome, confirmed by histology.


Experimentally induced and natural recovery from the effects of phenylalanine on brain protein synthesis. The decrease in the neural polyribosomes produced during hyperphenylalaninemia could not be restored to normal levels by the injection of other single neutral amino acids. All of the neutral amino acids that are transported with phenylalanine were found to produce an alteration of neural polyribosomes similar to that measured with phenylalanine. However, the injection of a balanced mixture of 6 or 7 neutral amino acids could restore the brain polyribosomes to normal states. Although this experimentally induced recovery did not lower brain phenylalanine concentrations, it did restore the acylation levels of methionyl-tRNA, and in particular, the methionyl-tRNA initiator species. This also led to a concomitant stimulation of the elongation rate of brain polypeptide synthesis. A natural recovery of brain polyribosomal levels (occurring 2 h after 1 mg/g phenylalanine is injected) did not appear to represent a real recovery of neural protein metabolism. Phenylalanine concentrations were increased in the brain, the acylation levels of methionyl-tRNA, alanyl-tRNA and the initiator methionyl-tRNA remained altered, and the rate of ribosome translocation was decreased 28%.

Education of nursing students for better collaboration of client, nurse and physician. The role of the professional nurse in participation with other members of the health care team is exciting and demanding. The professional student at various levels could benefit from the experience in this ambulatory setting to aquire skills and explore the concept of promoting health as well as care of illness. Minnesota has been a forerunner in the passage of legislation which informs the citizens as to the expectations they can hold in relation to their health care. A majority of these rights pertain to the informational needs of persons seeking health care. To comply with the law, the health care providers must be cognizant of the law and acquire skills as students to enable the client to be active and intelligent participants in their health care team, in either acceptance or refusal of care. The opportunity and challenges are obvious. How will we as nursing educators assist our students as practitioners of tomorrow to meet them?

Cup and spoon rehydration of children with acute diarrhoea. Children repeatedly admitted to a Jamaican clinic with gastroenteritis associated with protein-energy-malnutrition (PEM) were treated by oral glucose-electrolyte rehydration.  Children were fed other food from the outset if they so requested.  The solution was administer by cup and spoon, i.e., small amounts vs. bottle administration, frequently throughout the day and night.  A simple solution, very inexpensive, is outlined and includes a 3-finger pinch of salt, a 3-finger pinch of sodium bicarbonate, and 2 teaspoons of potassium chloride dissolved in 100 cu. cm of water.  In all, 16 children suffering from sporadic, unspecific diarrhea over a period of 9 months showed marked improvement of the condition within 1-2 days of cup and spoon rehydration.

Clostridial myonecrosis ('gas gangrene') during cephalosporin prophylaxis. Four cases of clostridial myonecrosis that developed in open fractures were treated with surgical debridement and with intravenous cephalosporins as antibiotic prophylaxis. All patients recovered following amputation of the involved extremity, and treatment with high-dose penicillin in three cases, and erythromycin plus high-dose cephalothin in the fourth. This complication was not seen in patients with similar injuries that were managed surgically but used other antibiotics, usually penicillin, as prophylaxis. In vitro susceptibility tests of clostridia to cephalothin were performed; the results demonstrated that nearly 50% of clostridia tested were resistant to cephalothin.

How nursing administrators view conflict. Fifty-one nursing administrators attending an institute on administration were asked to respond to two questions: "What is good about conflict?" "What is bad about conflict?" Findings indicated that nursing administrators: made more positive than negative statements about conflict, associated conflict's effects to be greater on people than on task accomplishment, indicated that conflict had greater intrapersonal than interpersonal effects, believed that the beneficial effects of conflict on task accomplishment lie in the realm of problem resolution, and reported that the major negative effects of conflict on task accomplishment were felt on productivity. These findings underscore the complex nature of conflict and its benefits and costs to the individual, organization, and nursing administrator. Views of these nursing administrators are in concert with contemporary behavioral science literature which suggests that conflict is necessary for organizational growth and is not automatically symptomatic of organizational pathology.


Applying ethical standards to nursing practice.


A patient classification system by level of nursing care requirements. A classification scheme and an instrument to determine work load, in use since June 1975 in the daily adjustment of supply and demand in the 24 pediatric units of the Sainte-Justine Hospital, Montreal, Quebec, is described. Construction and implementation of the instrument are delineated. The instrument was successful in determing the number of nurses necessary to meet the work load on various units. On the basis of these data, the short- and long-term management of supply and demand of nursing care was examined and the classification system was generalized to all types of patients except psychiatric.


Nurses' satisfaction with their work situation. Although job satisfaction  is related to performance within the work setting, precise definitions and methods of measuring satisfaction are lacking, especially in medical settings. This article describes a two-year research project that investigated the concept of occupational satisfaction and methods of measuring this concept among in-and outpatient nurses. The Index of Work Satisfaction, a scale that measures relative importance of various components of satisfaction and attitudes toward the components, as well as an overall summary score, was developed. Methodology of the scale development, utilizing hospital nurses and nurses involved in a private group-practice setting, is described. Analysis of the responses from the nurses indicated that the scale measured occupational satifaction of nurses in both settings.

Faculty influence on nursing students' preferences for practice. To ascertain if faculty preferences affect students' preferences for nursing practice, this study investigated: 1) the convergence of students' preferences with those of their clinical faculty and 2) students' perceptions of faculty characteristics associated with their practice preferences at the completion of a clinical course. Fourteen faculty and 170 junior baccalaureate nursing students were measured at three points in time to determine student preferences for indirect-direct involvement in patient care. Findings did not support the convergence of students' preferences with those of faculty as they progressed through the course. At the completion of the course multiple regressions revealed that students' preferences were associated with preferences they attributed to faculty, their perceptions of faculty reputation among students, students' clinical grades, and their preferences for nursing practice before and after six weeks of the course.

Effect of basic preventive health practices and mass media on the practice of breast self-examination. To assess factors that affected utilization of breast self-examination in 160 women enrolled in masters degree programs--in nursing and in programs outside of health disciplines--a questionnaire sought information about 1) the relationship between practice of six basic preventive health measures and practice of breast self-examination, and 2) changes which occurred in women's practices of breast self-examination subsequent to the October 1974 mass media coverage of Mrs. Betty Ford's mastectomy. Descriptive data about other factors that influenced women's practice of breast self-examination were obtained. Findings indicated a relationship between positive practice of breast self-examination and positive practices of other preventive health measures in women of health and nonhealth orientation up to 35 years of age and under, but not in those over 35 years of age. Significantly increased breast self-examination practices in women of all ages were reported following Mrs. Ford's mastectomy. Implications favorable to the early detection of breast disease are suggested.

Phenylalanyl synthetase function in cultured fibroblasts from subjects with progeria. Since progeria cells contain a diversity of altered proteins, some aspects of phenylalanyl synthetase function were examined in semipurified extracts of cultured skin fibroblasts using mixed rabbit tRNA as acceptor. No significant differences were found in the Km and Vmax for phenylalanine or ATP in progeria cells compared with controls. Initial velocities of both progeria and control synthetases were lower at late passage owing to either reduced enzyme content or reduced catalytic efficiency. Reverse phase 5 chromatography of tRNAs acylated by progeria and control synthetases gave a single peak of labeled phenylalanine tRNA in all cases with no secondary peaks evident. Total activity of phenylalanyl synthetase in progeria cells was similar to that of control cells at early passage while late-passage control cells had lower specific activities of these synthetases per unit protein.

Purine and pyrimidine nucleotides in some mutant human lymphoblasts. To study the role of purine ribonucleotides as possible regulators of the rate of de novo purine biosynthesis in living human cells, we measured intracellular ribonucleotide concentrations by high-pressure liquid chromatography in a series of cloned human lymphoblast mutants selected by resistance to 8-azaguanine, in which the severity of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) deficiency could be correlated with increases in the rate of de novo purine biosynthesis and increases in intracellular concentrations of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PP-ribose-P). Compared with appropriate normal controls, intracellular purine ribonucleotide concentrations were not reduced in HGPRT-deficient lymphoblasts but there were striking increases in intracellular concentrations of some pyrimidine nucleotides and nucleotide sugars which appeared to be related to the degree of the deficiency. Similar changes were found in lymphoblasts from a Lesch-Nyhan boy. These data support the hypothesis that the accelerated rate of purine biosynthesis in HGPRT-deficient cells result from increases in intracellular PP-ribose-P concentration and not from changes in intracellular purine ribonucleotide concentrations. The possibility that the abnormality of pyrimidine nucleotide metabolism results from coordinate regulation of purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis by PP-ribose-P was not substantiated by measurement of rates of pyrimidine synthesis and experimental elevation of intracellular concentrations of PP-ribose-P after incubation of cells with inorganic phosphate.


Dietary feedback regulation of purine and pyrimidine biosynthesis in man. Ten days after a healthy person has consumed a purine-free isoenergetic diet, the excretion of (endogenous) uric acid reaches a minimum and remains constant thereafter. Purines are absorbed in different degrees from various biochemical sources added to such a diet--little from DNA, nearly all from ribomononucleotides--presumably owing to different rates of hydrolysis. There is always a linear relationship between dietary purine content and uric acid excretion, independent of the source of purine. The findings suggest that dietary purines play a minor role (if any) in the regulation of purine synthesis, contrary to the conclusions of other workers. The demonstration that oral administration of uridine diminishes the oroticaciduria in patients with hereditary oroticaciduria suggested dietary feedback regulation of pyrimidine biosynthesis by pyrimidine nucleosides in the diet. The reduction of allopurinol-induced oroticaciduria by dietary RNA pointed in the same direction. Closer analysis with RNA hydrolysate and isolated purine as well as pyrimidine nucleotides, however, revealed that not only pyrimidine derivatives but also purine mononucleotides diminish oroticaciduria. The nucleotides had no influence on the change in the activity of orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.23), induced by allopurinol; this makes an effect on the decarboxylase unlikely. The feedback regulation is assumed to act by inhibition of an earlier step.

Factors in the pathogenesis of the brain damage and anaemia in the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. The possible factors in the pathogenesis of the brain damage and megaloblastic anaemia in the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome are discussed. Disordered growth and function appear to be limited to the brain, bone marrow and general body stature, yet the purine salvage enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (EC 2.4.2.8, HGPRT), although present in variable amounts in different tissues, is ubiquitous, a fact which suggests that other factors than HGPRT deficiency alone determine the pattern of tissue damage. Recent evidence suggests that the specific tissue damage in the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is due to lack of NGPRT in tissues with relatively reduced purine de novo capability and a greater dependence on purine salvage pathways at certain stages in their development for their supply of purine ribonucleotides. This evidence is presented together with possible mitigating factors operating in the bone marrow.

Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase activity in individual erythrocytes: autoradiographic studies in heterozygotes. Heterozygotes for the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome have normal hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) activity in their erythrocyte lysates. However, HGPRT activity in lysates from heterozygotes for the partial HGPRT deficiency states is often between that seen in the affected hemizygote and the normal. An autoradiographic technique was developed which demonstrated the HGPRT activity in individual erythrocytes in vitro. This technique revealed that heterozygotes for the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome had erythrocytes that contained normal HGPRT activity but heterozygotes for the partial deficiency had two populations of erythrocytes, one with normal HGPRT activity and the other with the reduced HGPRT activity characteristic of the hemizygote.

Effect of pulmonary hygiene measures on levels of arterial oxygen saturation in adults with chronic lung disease. The purpose of this study was to determine whether adult patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can safely perform pulmonary hygiene measures without compromising their arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) levels (less than 80 per cent). In 15 male veterans with moderate-to-severe COPD an ear oximeter was used to measure SaO2 levels while subjects completed a series of percussion, deep breathing, and coughing maneuvers in the head-down position (50 degree angle). No clinically significant changes in SaO2 levels were found in 14 subjects during pulmonary hygiene measures, but potentially dangerous symptoms were noted in two subjects. Our study supports the monitoring of objective and subjective symptoms during pulmonary hygiene and discontinuance of the procedure if tachycardia, palpitations, dyspnea, chest pain, or other distressful symptoms occur that might indicate hypoxemia.

GTP hydrolysis during methionyl-tRNAf binding to 40 S ribosomal subunits and the site of edeine inhibition. Three lines of evidence are presented indicating that GTP hydrolysis associated with eukaryotic peptide initiation occurs in the absence of 60 S subunits when methionyl-tRNAf is bound to 40 S ribosomal subunits. An enzyme fraction required for binding of methionyl-tRNAf to 40 S subunits and peptide initiation, tentatively equated with eIF-(4 + 5), has GTPase activity and appears to be responsible for hydrolysis of GTP in the methionyl-tRNAf.eIF-2.GTP complex. Direct analysis of the methionyl-tRNAf.40 S complex formed with with eIF-2 and [8-3H] guanine, [gamma-32P]GTP reveals bound guanine but not gamma-phosphate. Edeine, a peptide antibiotic containing spermidine and beta-tyrosine residues at its COOH terminus and NH2 terminus, respectively, blocks peptide initiation and interferes with binding of methionyl-tRNAf to 40 S ribosomal subunits. Inhibition of binding is observed when the eIF-2-mediated binding reaction is carried out with GTP but not with guanosine 5'-(beta,gamma-methylene)triphosphate or guanosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate. Edeine was labeled by iodination and shown to bind with high affinity to 40 S but not to 60 S ribosomal subunits. It is suggested that edeine blocks a specific site on the 40 S ribosomal subunit to which a segment of the methionyl-tRNAf molecule is bound during the course of the initiation reaction sequence.

Female adolescent drinking behavior: potential hazards. A recent national survey on the use of alcoholic beverages revealed that 93% of boys and 87% of girls in their senior year of high school had experimented with alcohol, and more than half of the country's seventh graders had tried drinking at least once during the previous year (1973). A review of the literature confirms this apparent increase in drinking by boys and girls. This article reports the increasing use of alcohol by girls and the associated risks. Some predisposing personal and behavioral characteristics are discussed, such as: the particular hazards of fetal syndrome; the significant impact of the physiological and psychological effects of menstruation and other related female phenomena; and the confusion in sex roles (resulting from the inability to freely combine masculine and feminine personality characteristics within onself in a women's liberation environment) accelerating "risk" possibilities in girls.

Involvement for learning in health programs. Health educators are often required to transfer information, influence attitudes and change behavioral patterns. Whether communicating with an individual or a group, it is important to involve the participant in the educational process. Careful analyses of the goals to be accomplished and the techniques used in the educational process will result in significantly improved communications. Strategies are suggested which have been used successfully to break away from the mold which tends to guarantee passive participation on the part of the learner.

Use of value clarification methods in venereal disease education. The use of values clarification methods offers a means of dealing with the social-emotional stigmas associated with venereal diseass. It has become apparent that the facts alone are not sufficient in motivating the individual to seek treatment and cooperate in the epidemiologic process. This article suggests techniques of educating students or patients in order to get them in touch with their own feelings, attitudes, and prejudices. It also fosters understanding of the prevalent social myths and misconceptions about venereal diseases.

Heroin in the Netherlands.

Heroin in the Netherlands. All heroin samples seized in the Netherlands in 1975 and weighing more than 10 grams together with all heroin samples seized during September 1976 were analysed by thin-layer chromatography, gas-liquid chromatography and liquid-solid chromatography. Most samples consisted of the so-called Hong Kong No. 3 type. Also the samples found in addicts were as potent as those seized from dealers and traffickers. We attempted to classify the samples into groups or batches, but only in a few cases could we conclude that two or more samples originated from the same batch.

Endocrine relationships during late gestation and parturition in the cow.


Progesterone and oestrogen in pregnancy and parturition: comparative aspects and hierarchical control. The different ways in which the progesterone requirements of pregnancy are met in various species are reviewed here. Progesterone production expressed in terms of metabolic body weight lies within about one order of magnitude in several species (but not in the rat), whether the hormone is predominantly ovarian or placental in origin. Parturition is usually preceded by a decrease in the plasma concentration of progesterone and the evidence which suggests that a decrease in secretion involves enzyme induction is summarized. In the sheep a sequence of well-marked hormonal changes can be discerned--an increase in fetal cortisol secretion followed by a fall in placental progesterone and a rise in oestrogen and prostaglandin F2alpha secretion. This sequence has been interpreted in terms of hierarchical control theory which envisages a series of levels placed in a descending order of importance and in which there is a downward transmission of a signal from a higher level that modifies activity at a lower level. A dominant level in the hierarchy in the sheep and pig seems to be the fetal hypothalamus and pituitary, but in the rabbit the maternal hypothalamus, pituitary and ovary play a more dominant role.


The 'see-saw' theory of parturition.

The 'see-saw' theory of parturition.


The role of prostaglandins in parturition, with special reference to the rat. The evidence which suggests a role for prostaglandins in parturition is reviewed, with special reference to experimental observations on the rat. The pregnant uterus can both synthesize and metabolize prostaglandins. The biosynthetic capacity of the rat uterus increases as pregnancy proceeds. This increase, which is especially marked during the last few days of pregnancy, may be oestrogen-controlled. During pregnancy the tissue levels of the major prostaglandin-metabolizing enzyme, 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.141) is greatly increased. This may prevent aberrant production of prostaglandins from terminating the pregnancy prematurely. The capacity for prostaglandin metabolism begins to fall (perhaps under hormonal control) as the expected day of delivery approaches; this, coupled with an augmented biosynthesis, produces a net increase in uterine prostaglandins which contribute to the process of parturition by causing a decrease in progesterone concentration, increasing the muscular tone of the uterus, and altering uterine haemodynamics. Agents which block either prostaglandin synthesis or metabolism delay or accelerate the parturition process in the rat.


Dilatation of the uterine cervix.

Dilatation of the uterine cervix. Dilatation of the cervix at parturition necessitates changes in the physical characteristics of cervical collagen and glycosaminoglycans which are probably hormone-dependent. The infusion of prostaglandin F2alpha (PGF2alpha) into the arterial blood supply to uterus and cervix of sheep pregnant for about 125 days resulted in cervical dilatation after 24 hours but this response was inconsistent; one factor affecting the response appeared to be the progesterone status, low circulating progesterone being associated with dilatation. Preliminary experiments in goats in which pregnancy is terminated by removal of the corpora lutea at day 125, subject to modification by the administration of progesterone, indomethacin or PGF2alpha, support the view that PGF2alpha evokes softening and dilatation of the cervix but that this is blocked by progesterone.


The influence of the fetal hypothalamus and pituitary on the onset and course of parturition. The possibility that the fetal brain or pituitary either initiates parturition or influences the course of labour was studied in human and rat. The results when corticotropin or neurohypophysial hormones were injected directly into human anencephalic fetuses in utero, and data obtained from 147 clinical records of such fetuses, seemed to show that the fetal brain does not trigger the onset of parturition. On the other hand, the course of labour was seriously protracted in anencephalic fetuses. Gestation length of brain-aspirated rat fetuses was not significantly longer than in sham-operated controls. However, the course of labour was protracted in the brain-aspirated fetuses. A similarly protracted expulsion pattern was observed in Brattleboro rats homozygous for a hypothalamic form of diabetes insipidus. These data all pointed to the likelihood that fetal neurohypophysial hormones stimulate the course of labour. Neither oxytocin nor vasopressin could be demonstrated in the rat fetus on the last day of pregnancy, when specific immunofluorescence was used. However, a closely related compound was found that was identified as most probably being vasotocin. The hypothesis is put forward that this fetal hormone normally stimulates the course of labour.

Involvement of phosphoenolpyruvate in the catabolism of caries-conducive disaccharides by Streptococcus mutans: lactose transport. The mechanisms for transport and hydrolysis of lactose were investigated in five cariogenic strains (HS6, AHT, FA1, NCTC 10449, and SL1) representing the four serogenetic groups of Streptococcus mutans. The systems for transport and hydrolysis of lactose had the characteristics of a phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent lactose (Lac) phosphotransferase (PT) system and phospho-beta-galactosidase (P-beta-gal), respectively, in all strains tested, except strain HS6. Decryptified cells required PEP and Mg(2+) for transport of the non-metabolizable model beta-galactosides o-nitrophenyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside (ONPG) and thiomethyl-beta-d-galactopyranoside (TMG). Substitution of 2-phosphoglycerate (2-PG) for PEP also stimulated the Lac PT system. Other potential high-energy phosphate donors (adenosine tri-, di-, and monophosphates and guanosine triphosphate) did not stimulate the Lac PT system. Sodium fluoride had no effect upon the PEP-dependent Lac PT system in decryptified cells with PEP as the energy source; however, when 2-PG was used as the energy source, F(-) inhibited ONPG phosphorylation. With intact cells which must generate PEP endogenously, the presence of F(-) in concentration >/= 10 mM completely inhibited the Lac PT system, presumably through inhibition of 2-PG hydrolyase (EC 4.2.1.11; enolase). Both intact and decryptified cells accumulated a phosphorylated derivative of TMG that behaved chromatographically as TMG-phosphate. After alkaline phosphatase treatment, the derivative had an R(f) identical to that of TMG. No beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) activity was detected with ONPG as the substrate; hydrolysis occurred only when ONPG-6-phosphate was supplied as the substrate. Strain HS6 apparently transported lactose by an active transport-type system in which the accumulated intracellular product was the free disaccharide based on the following criteria: (i) ONPG transport and hydrolysis in decryptified cells was not stimulated by PEP; (ii) ONPG hydrolysis occurred in the absence of PEP; and (iii) ONPG-6-phosphate was not hydrolyzed. These data indicate that, in all strains tested except strain HS6, lactose transport was mediated by a PEP-dependent Lac PT system, resulting in accumulation of lactose-phosphate that was hydrolyzed by an enzyme similar to the P-beta-gal of group N streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus; conversely, strain HS6 transported and hydrolyzed lactose by a PEP-independent transport system and beta-gal, respectively.
