Abstract
The effects of acute thioacetamide (TAA) intoxication on the calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium content of liver and on its ATPase activities were studied in rats. Samples of liver were analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry for their cationic content 6, 24 and 48 h after administration of TAA through a stomach tube. After sonification other samples were assayed for (Na+ + K+)-dependent, (Ca2+ + Mg2+)- and Ca2+-dependent ATPases. No apparent correlation has been found between the increased hepatic calcium after TAA treatment and the variations of ATPase activity. Both calcium movement and ATPase activity appear sex-determined. These results bring support to the hypothesis that an interaction between TAA or its metabolites with the cell membrane provokes an increased influx of extracellular calcium. The relationship between this calcium increase and the changes in ATPase activity with the events triggering the neoplastic transformation is discussed.

Abstract
A range of new anthracyclines, structurally related to adriamycin (ADM), has been synthesised and studied in vitro. Three compounds described in this paper (Ro 31-1215; Ro 31-1741; Ro 31-2035) are all 4-demethoxyanthracyclines. In the mouse mammary tumour cell line, EMT6/Ca/VJAC, using a 1 h drug exposure followed by colony formation as the response endpoint, we found Ro 31-1215 and Ro 31-1741 to be 2-3 x and 4-7 x more potent then ADM, whilst Ro 31-2035 was 3-4 x less potent. For continuous drug exposure and suppression of population growth as the endpoint, the potency of Ro 31-1741 was similar to that of ADM, whereas that of Ro 31-1215 was 1.5-2 x higher and that of Ro 31-2035 was 10-20 x lower. The potency ratios for continuous drug exposure of a human small cell lung cancer line were similar to those for continuous exposure of EMT6. Variants of the two cell lines selected for resistance to ADM were also studied. These variants also showed considerable resistance to Ro 31-1741 and Ro 31-2035 but much less resistance to Ro 31-1215 (a 9-methyl derivative). A variant of EMT6 made resistant to Ro 31-1215 by continuous growth in this drug was more resistant to ADM than it was to Ro 31-1215. Human cells resistant to ADM contained 6 x less ADM after 24 h exposure than did the parent line, whereas the ratio of drug content for Ro 31-1215 was only 2.

Abstract
In a retrospective study, 50 (8.2%) of 610 patients with malignant melanoma of the ciliary body or choroid had extrascleral extension. Of 46 patients for whom follow-up data were available, 24 (52%) survived five years, 20 (42%) survived ten years, and 17 (37%) survived 15 years. Factors that seemed to affect survival significantly included intraocular tumor size and extraocular tumor size and location. Our observations did not support the role of primary exenteration. Five patients (11%) with extrascleral extension had orbital recurrences and all died within 31 months of surgery regardless of treatment.

Abstract
[18F]Fluoride was produced via the 18O (p, n) 18F reaction using a low volume stainless steel 18O-water target in a small cyclotron. The average 18F production rate for 60 runs was about 720 microCi/microA-min. A typical bombardment time of 20 min produced 120 mCi of 18F-fluoride. [18F]2-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose ([18F]2FDG) was prepared using the procedure developed by Tewson [J. Nucl. Med. 24, 718 (1983)] involving a protected cyclic sulfate glucose derivative as precursor. The routine synthesis and quality testing of [18F]2FDG required 1 h and, typically, yields of 30-35 mCi of greater than 95% HPLC-pure product were obtained.

Abstract
Little is known about the mechanism and control of lipoprotein particle fusion, although apoproteins are presumed to be important in maintenance of particle structure. This study characterizes the interaction of apo-B-containing low density lipoproteins (LDL) with cholesterol ester microemulsions (CEME) in the presence and absence of apo-A-I to determine if a role for these apoproteins in particle integrity could be ascertained. CEME are an apoprotein-free analog of LDL formed by sonication of radiolabeled phospholipid (surface) and cholesterol ester (core). Incubation of CEME with LDL followed by precipitation of LDL with MnCl2 resulted in coprecipitation of CEME with LDL that was time-, temperature-, and concentration-, but not pH (pH 6-9)-, dependent and occurred over a wide range of CEME and LDL particle compositions. Particles from the incubation were larger than the unincubated particles and intermediate in density and electrophoretic mobility between the starting LDL and CEME. Differential scanning calorimetry experiments suggested that CEME surface and core lipids had mixed with those of LDL. When particles from incubations were exposed to an anti-apo-B column, radiolabeled surface and core molecules originating from the CEME particles bound to the column. Particles eluted at low pH from the anti-apo-B column were irregularly shaped and had excess surface material as judged by electron microscopy. Incubation of CEME with LDL in the presence of 3 M KBr or 4% bovine serum albumin did not alter the interaction of the particles. However, incubation of CEME with LDL in the presence of apo-A-I (2:1 CEME cholesterol-to-apo-A-I mass ratio) greatly reduced the interaction of the LDL and CEME particles. We conclude that the incubation of CEME with isolated LDL resulted in particle fusion that was prevented by apo-A-I.

Abstract
Veblen's 1899 hypothesis that associated a female desire for thinness with the higher social classes was tested with data from a representative national sample of adolescents, 12 to 17 years of age, in the National Health Examination Survey. Controlling for the actual level of fatness, adolescent females in higher social classes wanted to be thinner more often than those in lower classes. The greater female desire for thinness was not the product of health information nor of sex differences in the level of fatness. The thinner the female, the greater the impact of social class on the desire for thinness. During puberty, adolescent females negatively evaluated the body fat associated with normal sexual development.

Abstract
In its examination of violent activity within the family, current literature assumes a "pecking order" exists: Larger and stronger family members attack those who are smaller and weaker. Adult males are usually studied as primary maltreaters of spouses, while females are considered mainly responsible for physically abusive behavior with children. Use of this perspective has led to neglect of male abusers, who injure half of the mistreated children in the United States. Through assessment of 66 studies of child abuse published during a 5-year period, this paper documents the lack of attention abusive fathers have received. Twenty-eight of these studies included only mothers, while two dealt exclusively with fathers. Most of the 36 remaining two-parent studies did not discuss sex differences. No diagnostic categories consistently differentiated male from female abusers. No study discussed specialized treatment needs of women and men. This survey suggests that the therapeutic field considers the child's mother the primary responsible parent, even though she may not be the perpetrator of violence in the family. As a result, inadequate treatment resources have been made available to maltreating fathers. The survey points to the need for much more comprehensive research comparing male and female maltreaters.

Abstract
The uptake of [67 Ga]citrate by normal rats of different ages has been compared with the mineral composition of the assayed tissues. Very young animals take up much more 67 Ga than the adults and there seems to be a correlation between the mineral composition (calcium, magnesium and iron) and the radioactivity uptake. The role of those elements and of cellular proliferation in this phenomenon is discussed.

Abstract
Behavior change professionals have developed treatment programs for a wide variety of health care problems affecting adolescents. Although a substantial data base of experimentally tested techniques exists for obesity, smoking prevention, and dysmenorrhea, much work remains in other areas. For example, the case studies reported on neurodermatitis and the survey work in teenage alcohol abuse must give way to systematic interventions employing group experimental designs. In addition, behavioral procedures should be compared to other treatments. Also, component analysis should be performed when multiple treatment strategies are used. Finally, strategies aimed at increasing the generalization of treatment, such as from classrooms to different community settings in substance abuse prevention programs and maintenance of treatment effects over long follow-up periods, are necessary. Only in this way will the efficacy of behavioral interventions for specific health problems be established. The leading causes of mortality among adolescents are due to accidents. Of the total number of deaths due to accidents, approximately 50% are attributed to motor vehicle accidents (National Safety Council, 1977). Many of these accidents are due to negligence, substance abuse, and, in general, immature behavior (Bakwin & Bakwin, 1972). In spite of a slow but consistent trend toward lower accidental deaths over time (National Safety Council, 1977), there still is a need for interventions designed to decrease risk-taking behavior, substance abuse, and carelessness in adolescents. Again, behavior change professionals might follow the example set by researchers who have begun to develop successful strategies for decreasing onset of cigarette smoking. These interventions and research methods, designed for use in schools, may provide a promising approach for addressing other kinds of prevention problems. It also seems appropriate to categorize cigarette smoking not only as a risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease (Kuller, 1976), but also as a member of the risk-taking behaviors. Thus, procedures used to prevent cigarette smoking might also be adapted to prevent other kinds of risk-taking behaviors among adolescents. The work of McAlister et al. (1980), in preventing alcohol abuse as well as cigarette smoking by use of the same or similar procedures, is a case in point. Use of a procedure designed to train competency in refusing peer pressure has clear implications for reducing other risk-taking behaviors, such as reckless driving, drug abuse, and swimming and boating accidents.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Four cases of choroidal melanoma with extrascleral extension are presented. In each case, contact B-scan ultrasonography identified extrascleral extension of choroidal melanoma as an area of relative echolucency immediately behind the globe. These ultrasonographic findings are contrasted with those demonstrated by computerized tomography. The importance of B-scan ultrasonography in the assessment of a patient with possible choroidal melanoma is discussed.

Abstract
Prematurely born neonates are born with an immature central nervous system. Temporal associates between care-giver interventions and infant biobehavioral responses can be recorded. A new methodology for continuous naturalistic computer-assisted recording of infants in nursery care is described. To illustrate a clinical implication of this recording, an infant's responses to two seemingly contrasted care-giver interventions were analyzed: chest physical therapy and close social interaction. There was significantly increased subtle as well as gross behavioral and physiologic distress following both chest physical therapy and close social interaction when compared with base line distress incidence. Perhaps timing of interventions is as consequential as their content toward safeguarding a preterm infant's developing autonomic regulation, motor patterns, and sleep/wake state.

Abstract
I propose that strong claims about the superiority of latent variable (LV) structural modeling, compared to other causal approaches to nonexperimental data, are both overstated and premature. Focusing primarily on a recent article by Huba, Wingard, and Bentler (1981) appearing in this journal, I argue both that the authors' application of these models is seriously flawed and that the data employed to test the models are of questionable quality. I conclude that statements about powerful inferences that can be made from analyses of LV models should be moderated. A more prudent position is advocated in this paper: I argue that the evaluation and testing of LV models should proceed, but with caution and self-criticism; even highly sophisticated methods like LV modeling cannot substitute for the collection of high quality data and the clear operationalization of constructs and hypotheses.

Abstract
From the National Health Examination Survey data, 4,735 Caucasian males and females, 12 to 17 years, were classified by age and stage of sexual maturation (Tanner). Early and late maturers were each compared to all other youth of comparable age and sex, in eight education-related categories: youth and parental aspirations and expectations concerning the level of education which would be achieved by the student, teacher reports of intellectual ability and academic achievement, and test scores (WISC and WRAT). Except at age 12, late maturing boys received significantly lower ratings than mid maturers in all these areas, and early maturing males received higher ratings. For females, no differences persisted across age groups. In advising male adolescents, physicians should be alert to the possibility that school functioning may be linked to maturational processes.

Abstract
Data from the U.S. National Health Examination Survey of 12-17-year-old youths were used to determine whether the development of the social behavior of dating is more closely linked to the level of sexual maturation or to the progression through age grades without reference to sexual maturation. Regression analyses and partial correlations show that individuals levels of sexual maturation add very little to the explained variance in dating after age had been taken into account. It appears that social pressures, based on behavior considered typical and appropriate at various ages, determines the onset of dating in adolescents. Individual rates of sexual maturation that deviate from the norm for that age have little impact on dating. These findings show how social standards can reduce dramatically the impact of individual biological processes on institutionalized forms of behavior.

Abstract
Both knee extension and straight leg raises have been used to rehabilitate atrophied quadriceps musculature following knee immobilization. A comparison of the tension developed during these two exercises was made in each of the three surface quadriceps muscles (quadriceps femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis) at three different levels of activity (20%, 50%, and 80% of 1RM). Integrated EMG (m Volt-seconds) was used to measure tension developed during a seven second contraction. Tension developed was significantly greater during a seven second contraction. Tension developed was significantly greater during knee extension than during straight leg raises at each exercise intensity. For both exercises and at all three exercise levels, the vastus lateralis was the most active; the vastus medialis was the least active. The difference between knee extension and straight leg raises became greater with increasing levels of activity. Therefore, unless contraindicated by chondromalacia of lack of knee flexibility, knee extensions should be used for post-surgical knee rehabilitation. The greater tension development would lead to a more rapid return of strength, and therefore quicker rehabilitation.

Abstract
Over a 4-year period (1972-75) an unselected sample of 568 children aged under 4 years attending the Nuffield Hearing and Speech Centre were tested for rubella antibody. Sensorineural deafness was subsequently diagnosed in 349 of these children, and 83 (24%) of this group had rubella antibody. In contrast, only 19 (9%) of the remaining 219 children in whom sensorineural deafness was excluded had rubella antibody. The seropositive and seronegative children with sensorineural deafness showed striking differences in family history, history of maternal rubella, adverse perinatal events, and presence of other defects. Congenital rubella is an important cause of deafness, and the rubella vaccination programme must be pursued more vigorously if this serious defect is to be prevented in the future.

Abstract
Pulmonary giant cell carcinoma is one of the most highly malignant neoplasms of the lung. Eighteen patients with this tumor are presented. Histologically the neoplasm is composed of a preponderance of multinucleated giant cells, round cells, and spindle cells. Some of the most differentiated tumors show adenocarcinomatous foci and ultrastructural features of secretory epithelium favoring its classification as a variant of pulmonary adenocarcinoma. The giant cells of this neoplasm can be differentiated from those encountered in undifferentiated large cell carcinoma and epidermoid carcinoma by the abundant cytoplasm, the presence of more nuclei and nucleoli, and the significant degree of phagocytosis. The clinical picture and roentgenographic findings present no pathognomonic features.

Abstract
1. Gel electrofocusing followed by gel gradient electrophoresis separated the haptoglobins and their complexes with haemoglobin into characteristic two-dimensional patterns of protein bands. 2. Molecular weights of 107 000, 139 000 and 168 000 were obtained for the three bands seen after a purified preparation of haptoglobin type 1 was partially saturated with haemoglobin. This indicated that free haptoglobin, the intermediate haptoglobin-haemoglobin complex containing one half-haemoglobin and the saturated complex with two half-haemoglobins were present. 3. The three proteins showed considerable microheterogeneity and gave a number of isoelectric points in the pH ranges 4.58-4.77, 5.20-5.40 and 5.74-5.93, free haptoglobin type 1 being the lowest group. These ranges were all 0.15-0.30pH units lower if other values were taken for the isoelectric points of markers used to calibrate the pH gradient. 4. All three proteins were present over a wide range of haemoglobin concentrations, from 0.5% to 92% of that required for saturation. This would be expected if both binding sites have similar affinities for haemoglobin.

Electrofocusing followed by gradient electrophoresis: a two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel technique for the separation of proteins and its application to the immunoglobulins. Clin Chim Acta 1975; 64:69-78.

Abstract
A two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel technique for the separation of proteins is described. Electrofocusing in a 3.5% polyacrylamide gel is followed by electrophoresis through a 4-24% concave polyacrylamide gel gradient. The method resolves a large number of serum proteins and produces highly reproducible patterns. It is particularly useful for studies involving proteins of high molecular weight, such as alpha2-macroglobulin, beta-lipoprotein and IgM. The application of the technique to the immunoglobulins in pathological sera is reported.

Abstract
Two retarded children were exposed to daily imitation training in which teacher or nurse modelled and instructed each child to imitate 12 sentences containing one of six animal names. The subjects were praised for correct verbal imitation. Across three phases of a multiple-baseline design, sentences varied as to the presence or absence of size and/or color adjectives describing the animals. In probe sessions at another time of day and in a different setting, the experimenter twice asked each subject to dfescribe 12 different animal pictures. The subjects' use of descriptive adjectives (color and/or size) greatly increased during probe sessions as a function of the sentence content (presence or absence of color and/or size adjectives) in modelling and imitation training sessions. Generalization to descriptions of animals also not used in imitation training sentences was also obtained..

Abstract
Auditory perceptual tasks involving the discrimination of fine differences in frequency, duration, or rhythmic pattern were given to a group of sixth form schoolboys. The results indicate that there is a wide range of auditory skills for different individuals, even within a relatively homogeneous group. There are also differences in a person's ability to carry out distinct tasks; there does not necessarily appear to be any correlation between his ability for each task.The findings support observations arising out of consideration of hearing problems in children and adults that pure tone threshold audiometry and its derivatives give an inadequate definition of hearing disorder and a limited understanding of the nature of hearing.

Abstract
Weeding is essential to the efficient operation of medical libraries and should be conducted in spite of certain barriers that exist. The mechanics of weeding are simple, and the criteria are widely known. A questionnaire survey of ninety-four medical school libraries reveals that weeding is most often shared by professional staff members, that weeding is done primarily when space is needed, and that librarians when weeding do not as a rule seek the advice or assistance of users or the Library Committee.

Are inventories justified? BULLETIN OF THE MEDICAL LIBRARY ASSOCIATION 1971; 59:50-2. [PMID: 5542916 PMCID: PMC197539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Medical librarians do conduct inventories of their collections. A questionnaire mailed to ninety-two medical school libraries in March 1970 and returned by seventy-four reveals that an average two inventories per library have been conducted during the past ten years with only ten libraries reporting that no inventory had ever been conducted. The average time per inventory was thirty days. Only eleven medical librarians stated they planned never to conduct another inventory. The article suggests full inventories of medical library collections of 100,000 volumes or less can be justified but questions the wisdom of full inventories of collections of more than 100,000 volumes.
