Abstract
The relationship between the human papillomavirus (HPV) and cancer of the upper aerodigestive trace is controversial. There is no doubt that at least some nasal, oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal carcinomas contain HPV DNA. However, the diversity in the reported incidence of HPV in these tumours represents a major problem. In the present study we have examined 30 laryngeal dysplastic lesions for HPV by the polymerase chain reaction, using three different pairs of consensus primers (GP5+/GP6+, MY09/MY11 and CPI/CPII). The single HPV-positive specimen was from a recurrent laryngeal papilloma. The HPV type present could not be determined, but it was not type 6, 11, 16, 18, 30, 31, 33 or 45. Restriction fragment length polymorphy analysis suggested a yet unknown HPV-type in this lesion. This investigation does not support the idea of HPV as an oncogenic cofactor in most laryngeal carcinomas as HPV was present in only 1/30 precancerous laryngeal lesions.

Abstract
Carcinomas arising in pre-existing sinonasal papillomas of the nasal septum are rare. To our knowledge only one case has been reported. We report two cases of carcinomas occurring in septal papillomas. In the first case a carcinoma developed in an exophytic papilloma 16 years after the first operation for a papilloma. In the second case a carcinoma was present at the first presentation within an inverted papilloma, and a metastasis had also developed. In the first case HPV type 6/11 was demonstrated by in-situ hybridisation and PCR in the original papilloma as well as in the recurrent papilloma and in the carcinoma. In the second case HPV type 18 was found in the nasal lesion as well as in the metastasis. All samples were examined for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) by PCR, but with negative results. We believe that case one is the first reported case of carcinomatous transformation within an exophytic septal papilloma.

Abstract
The association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and cervical carcinomas is well known. HPV has been found in oral carcinomas and paranasal papillomas, and the question of a causal role of HPV has yet to be answered. Reports on the frequency of HPV in oral and paranasal sinus tumours should be considered in relation to the frequency of HPV in normal oral and nasal mucosa. In the present study 61 normal individual had oral smears taken and 48 had nasal smears. These were examined for HPV by DNA amplification with HPV consensus primers. HPV was not found in the oral mucosa, while a single individual harboured HPV in the nasal mucosa. It is concluded that HPV is rarely present in normal oral and nasal mucosa.

Abstract
To determine the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in the etiology of sinonasal papillomas, 57 inverted papillomas including 5 cases associated with carcinomas, 16 exophytic papillomas, and 5 cases of columnar cell papillomas were examined for the presence of HPV DNA by in situ hybridization and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The genetic studies were performed on the formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded material. In only 6% of the 52 benign inverted papillomas was HPV DNA identified, whereas 69% of the exophytic papillomas were infected by HPV DNA. In none of the 5 cases with columnar cell papillomas could HPV be demonstrated. HPV 6/11 was identified in all of these HPV-positive cases. In the carcinoma area, HPV was detected in 2 (1 HPV 6/11 and 1 HPV 18) of the 5 inverted papillomas associated with carcinomas. The findings confirm the presence of HPV DNA in sinonasal papillomas. The results also indicate that HPV 6/11 may be involved in the pathogenesis of, solely, exophytic papillomas. We found that in situ hybridization and PCR seem equally sensitive in detecting HPV in sinonasal papillomas.

Abstract
To determine a possible etiological role of human papillomavirus (HPV) in sinonasal papillomas and squamous cell carcinomas, it is necessary to investigate normal nasal mucosa of healthy persons for the presence of HPV. The material in the present study consists of 21 biopsies taken from the inferior concha of 21 otherwise healthy persons who underwent surgery for nose fractures or nasoseptal deviations. In addition, five inferior conchae were obtained from persons who had died of non-neoplastic diseases. HPV was not detected in any of these specimens, either by polymerase chain reaction or by in situ hybridization. Histologic evaluation showed that squamous metaplasia was a common finding in the biopsies. The presence of HPV in sinonasal papillomas and carcinomas may indicate that HPV is an etiological factor in these lesions.

Abstract
The frequency of human papillomavirus (HPV) in sinonasal papillomas seems to vary considerably. The highest frequencies have been reported by investigators using in situ DNA or RNA hybridization. Few studies have used polymerase chain reaction, and in these reports the frequency of HPV detection is rather low. We have investigated the presence of HPV in sinonasal papillomas using the polymerase chain reaction with a set of degenerated consensus primers, which amplify the vast majority of the known HPV types. Human papillomavirus was found in three of 14 papillomas. By in situ hybridization the same three papillomas were positive for HPV type 6/11.

Abstract
This experiment was designed to establish in vitro culture methods for silver fox embryos in order to develop the methods for evaluation of the post-thaw viability of frozen embryos in future studies. Artificially inseminated silver fox females were killed humanely on predetermined days after insemination and oviducts and uteri were flushed for embryos. The embryos were cultured in modified TCM 199 or in the same medium supplemented with silver fox oviductal tissue suspension for varying periods, from 6 days to 3 weeks. A total of 60 embryos was recovered. Only embryos beyond the 8-cell stage up to expanded blastocysts developed in vitro (28 % of all embryos). Early stage blastocysts developed most reliably and were of the best quality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a regulatory peptide encoded by the calcitonin gene. CGRP is expressed in increased amounts by the cells of medullary thyroid carcinomas and has been demonstrated by immunohistochemistry to occur in neuroendocrine cells and nerve fibres of lung tissue. MEASUREMENTS Serum CGRP levels were measured in patients with small cell lung carcinomas before treatment (n = 74) and immediately before the second course of chemotherapy (n = 30). In-situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry were performed on tumour tissue and CGRP was extracted from two tumours and characterized by gel chromatography and high pressure liquid chromatography. RESULTS Serum CGRP levels were elevated in small cell lung carcinomas when compared with healthy controls of similar age and sex (median values 55.0 vs 36.6 pmol/l, P < 0.001), and 27% had levels above the upper normal range. Serum CGRP levels decreased following the initial course of chemotherapy (P < 0.05) but remained elevated when compared to the controls (P < 0.001). In-situ hybridization for CGRP mRNA was positive in three of 17 tumours and immunohistochemistry was positive in seven of 31 tumours investigated. CGRP immunoreactivity extracted from two tumours was characterized by gel chromatography and high pressure liquid chromatography. A major part of the immunoreactivity was demonstrated to represent the intact molecule. CONCLUSIONS We found that patients with small cell lung carcinomas had elevated concentration of serum calcitonin gene-related peptide but only 27% had values above the upper normal range. Serum CGRP is therefore of limited value as a tumour marker. Intact CGRP can be extracted from tumour tissue, but in-situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry showed positive reactions in only a few of the tumours investigated. The elevated serum CGRP levels are therefore likely to be largely of extratumoral origin.

Abstract
The isolated spontaneously beating heart was used for comparing the effects of hypoxia and positive inotropic drugs on myocardial ultrastructure. Hypoxia gives a significant decrease in the volume fractions of mitochondrial cristae relative to the total mitochondrial volume (Vvmcristae) and a significant increase in the volume fraction of mitochondrial matrix relative to the total mitochondrial volume (Vvmmatrix), but changes in volume fractions of mitochondria (Vvmitochondria) and myofibrils (Vvmyofibrils) were absent. Significant changes in ultrastructure in hearts treated with dopamine (0.6 microM), dobutamine (90 nM), G-strofanthin (0.25 microM), xamoterol (32 nM) and isoprenaline (0.15 microM or 15 nM) were absent. Furthermore, myocardial effects in the isolated rabbit heart without exposure to any treatment showed a significantly decrease in oxygen consumption after 90 min. and a significant decrease in frequency of contractions after 120 min. perfusion time, but no change in contractility was seen. We conclude that this experimental model is useful in studies of positive inotropic drugs.

Abstract
Laryngeal papillomas from 20 patients (162 papillomas) were subjected to histomorphometric analysis: Based on clinical parameters, the papillomas were divided into juvenile multiple papillomas, adult multiple papillomas and adult solitary papillomas. The volume fractions of basal cells, koilocytes and nuclei as well as the mean nuclear volume were determined for each group. Significant differences between the 3 groups were not found and it is therefore concluded that they all represent the same basic lesion.

Abstract
For a period of more than 30 years irradiation was used in the treatment of multiple laryngeal papillomas, especially in children. The treatment was discontinued because a number of irradiated patients developed laryngeal carcinomas. There are however a number of reports of laryngeal and even bronchial carcinomas arising in patients with laryngeal papillomas who had not been irradiated. In addition, HPV type 11 has recently been found in laryngeal papillomas as well as in laryngeal and bronchial carcinomas, subsequently arising in the same patients, both irradiated and non-irradiated. The analysis of a series of 113 patients with laryngeal papillomas has shown that irradiated patients have a 16-fold increased risk of a subsequent carcinoma in the respiratory system.

Abstract
Cervical biopsy specimens were taken from 55 Pap-smear-negative women with external genital warts in order to diagnose a concomitant cervical human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV-DNA was demonstrated by in situ hybridization in 17 (31%) of the samples: HPV types 16/18 in 9, HPV types 6/11 in 5 and double infection (16/18 and 6/11) in 3. HPV-DNA was found in 10 (43%) of 23 biopsy specimens with koilocytotic atypia and in 5 (29%) of 17 specimens showing chronic inflammatory reaction, whereas only 2 (13%) of 15 women with normal cervical histology had HPV-DNA in the biopsy specimen. Overall histology and in situ hybridization indicated the presence of a cervical HPV infection in at least 30 (55%) of the 55 women examined. Colposcopic examination revealed abnormal acetowhite epithelium in 17 (74%) of 23 women with koilocytosis and/or HPV-DNA positivity, compared with 7 (32%) of 22 HPV-DNA-negative women with histology showing either chronic inflammatory changes or normal epithelium (p less than 0.01). It is concluded that a cervical focus of HPV infection is frequent among Pap-smear-negative women with external genital warts.

Abstract
Human papilloma virus (HPV) types 6 and 11 have been repeatedly demonstrated in multiple laryngeal papillomas, and there is little doubt that these lesions are caused by HPV. It has been clearly demonstrated in recent reports that the clinical course of solitary adult onset laryngeal papillomas is entirely different from that of multiple papillomas of juvenile as well as of adult onset. We here report the presence of HPV types 6 and 11 in 19 out of 20 solitary papillomas from 16 patients, while HPV types 16 and 18 were totally absent. We conclude that the milder clinical course in such patients is most likely to be due to host factors, rather than to viral factors.

Abstract
The incidence rate of laryngeal papillomas in a Danish subpopulation (approximately 2.8 million inhabitants) was 3.84 x 10(-6) per year in the period 1968-1984. For juvenile papillomas the incidence rate was 3.62 x 10(-6), compared with 3.94 x 10(-6) for laryngeal papillomas of adult onset. When comparing different time periods a significantly low incidence was found in the time 1965-1968, while the incidence remained constant in 1969-1984. The low incidence rate in the early period may be real, but selectional bias may have played a part. It is general anticipated that maternal genital HPV-infections may serve as an HPV-reservoir, and that juvenile laryngeal papillomas is a result of HPV transmission from the mother to the child during birth. In the period in question cervical HPV-infections have been recorded with increasing frequency in younger women, indicating that the prevalence is rising. However, this is not reflected in the incidence of laryngeal papillomas.

Abstract
In a first experiment, 11 Finnhorse mares were examined every six hours during late oestrus by rectal palpation and ultrasonography to determine the time of ovulation. The mares were inseminated over one to three subsequent cycles, 6-12 (n = 5), 12-18 (n = 5), 18-24 (n = 5) and 24-30 (n = 5) hours after ovulation. Pregnancies were terminated by prostaglandin injection 21 days after insemination. All mares inseminated within 18 hours of ovulation conceived but no mare inseminated 24 hours or more after ovulation conceived. In a second experiment, 14 mares were examined every day at about the same time and inseminated after ovulation had been detected, within 0-27 hours of ovulation. Pregnancies were terminated by prostaglandin injection 25 days after insemination and the animals inseminated again. Forty-six per cent of the mares (13 out of 28) were pregnant 16 days after insemination but there was early embryonic death in five mares, i.e. only 29% of the mares became and remained pregnant. The equine ovum seems to be capable of being fertilized for at least 18 hours after ovulation. However, the high incidence of early embryonic death in the second experiment suggests that the viability of the embryo may have decreased.

Twenty-four Finnhorse mares were examined by rectal palpation and ultrasonography every 6 h during late oestrus to determine the time of ovulation. Milk and serum samples were collected every 6 h after the detected ovulation for progesterone analysis. The progesterone rises took place within 0-54 h and 0-60 h after ovulation, in milk and serum, respectively. Statistically significant differences (p less than 0.05) in progesterone levels were observed for the first time 12-18 h and 18-24 h after ovulation, in serum and milk, respectively, as compared to progesterone levels 0-6 h after ovulation.

Abstract
The records of 231 patients with laryngeal papillomas were reviewed. Considering age at onset and sex distribution, the patients were divided into four groups: juvenile solitary, juvenile multiple, adult solitary, and adult multiple papillomas. The main conclusions are (1) it is in general impossible to predict the course in individual cases, but solitary papillomas in adults follow a less severe course than do juvenile and adult multiple cases; (2) late recurrences (up to 42 years) makes it impossible to declare a patient cured; (3) there is no linkage between puberty and the disappearance of laryngeal papillomas; (4) a latent infection, acquired at or before birth, is unlikely to be responsible for adult papillomas.

Abstract
Follicular growth and hormone determinations were used to predict ovulation in the mare. Thirty Finnhorse mares were used for the investigation and 38 oestrous cycles were studied. The mares were examined by rectal palpation and ultrasonography every 6 hours during late oestrus. Daily blood samples were obtained for progesterone and oestrone sulphate determination. The preovulatory follicle grew 3 mm a day up to 2 days before ovulation. The size then remained constant, before diminishing by 2-3 mm during the last 12 hours. The maximal diameter of the follicle was 43 +/- 4 mm. In 89% of the follicles the round shape became more irregular before ovulation. During the last 24 hours before ovulation 37 of 38 follicles were regarded as mature on rectal palpation. The oestrone sulphate level was highest 24-48 hours before ovulation, the first decrease being observed most commonly around ovulation (+/- 1 day). The size of the follicle was the most reliable criterion in the prediction of ovulation.

Abstract
The case histories of 4 patients are presented, who developed an invasive squamous cell carcinoma from pre-existing multiple laryngeal papillomatosis (two juvenile-onset and two adult-onset) during a long latency period. A series of 14 routinely processed, paraffin-embedded biopsies obtained from these patients (including both benign papillomas and carcinomas) were analysed using in situ DNA-hybridization technique with 35S-labelled Human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA probes of HPV types, 6, 11, 16, 18 and 30. The lesions were also assessed by indirect immunoperoxidase (IP-PAP) technique to demonstrate the expression of HPV structural proteins. On light microscopy, morphology was consistent with HPV infection in all 14 biopsies. HPV antigen expression could not be demonstrated in any of the papillomas or carcinomas, however. HPV 11 DNA was present in high copy numbers in both the benign and malignant lesions of 2 patients, both presenting with the juvenile-onset disease. The present findings provide support for the role of HPV as an etiological agent in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, most probably acting synergistically with chemical or physical carcinogens (one patient received irradiation and 2 others were smokers). It seems clear that an infection by the 'low risk' HPV types 6 and 11 by no means excludes the possibility of developing a laryngeal malignancy, so far ascribed to the 'high risk' type HPV 16 only.

Abstract
Increasing evidence for a causal link between human papilloma virus and carcinomas of the cervix has emerged in recent research. This group of species-specific, epitheliotropic viruses has also been associated with tumours of the head and neck, but the individual reports deal only with relatively small sample numbers. In the present review these reports are considered in relation to the methods employed, and it is concluded that HPV is associated with more than 50% of oral and nasal carcinomas, as well as with carcinomas of the larynx and oesophagus. The clinical relevance and strategies for future work are outlined.

Abstract
This study was designed to analyse thyroid function in patients with Reinke's oedema. Among 43 patients, 2 new cases of myxoedema as well as 2 patients with borderline myxoedema were found. However, the majority of patients showed no indication of thyroid hypofunction. In addition the alcian-blue staining intensity of vocal cord biopsies from patients with Reinke's oedema was compared with thyroid parameters, but a relation was not found.
