Notes: Allergy to natural rubber latex (NRL) has become an important health issue in recent years, but little is known about how this condition is investigated by physicians in the UK. This postal questionnaire of British dermatology and allergy specialists shows substantial variation in diagnostic practice, most notably with regard to the utilization and choice of starting dose of commercial latex prick test dilutions, reliance on allergen-specific immunoglobulin E measurement, investigation of associated fruit allergy and provision of resuscitation equipment/method of consent when challenge testing. 17% of responding physicians who investigate for NRL allergy do not perform prick test or glove challenge because of the potential risk of anaphylaxis or lack of resuscitation facilities. 87% of allergy clinic specialists report no reduction in the number of patients presenting as new referrals with suspected NRL allergy. These findings suggest a need for robust guidance to achieve more consistent investigative practice by those dealing with this condition.

Notes: The pattern of basement membrane deposition was investigated in benign and malignant choroid plexus tumours using an immunocytochemical method to detect laminin, an intrinsic basement membrane component. The results were compared with intracranial ependymomas and myxopapillary ependymomas of the filum terminale. Expression of the intermediate filaments cytokeratin and glial fibrillar acidic protein (GFAP) and the epithelial marker carcino-embroyonic antigen (CEA) was also assessed. Laminin was detected in a subepithelial location in all the choroid plexus tumours but in none of the ependymomas, although basement membrane fragmentation was seen in the choroid plexus carcinomas. In contrast. GFAP was present in all the types of tumour examined. Cytokeratin (as detected by CAM 5.2) was present in all the choroid plexus lesions and also in the ependymomas arising in the spinal canal. CEA was not detected. We conclude that immunostaining for laminin assists distinction between choroid plexus tumors and papillary ependymomas and between benign and malignant choroid plexus tumours.

Notes: The effects of transfusing cores of grass silage with mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen containing 0%, 0·2%, 2%, 5% and 20% oxygen were investigated. Changes in populations of yeasts, lactobacilli and streptococci were measured and the relationship between populations after 7 days' transfusion and oxygen concentration were tested against the predictions of two models, based on Monod and logistic growth functions. Yeasts were related to oxygen by the Monod model, while lactobacilli and streptococci were related by the logistic model. The differences were ascribed to yeasts initiating deterioration by growing aerobically, while lactobacilli and streptococci grew fermentatively once the environment had changed following yeast growth. Dry-matter losses were related to oxygen by the Monod model. Changes in temperature were related to dry matter loss (through measurements of CO2 evolution) using a simple heat balance model.

Notes: Protein and N—linked glycoprotein biosynthesis was studied in histologically verified normal epidermis, actinic keratoses, keratoacanthoma, intra-epidermal carcinoma and squamous-cell carcinoma using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). The PAGE profiles of 3[H]—leucine-labelled proteins and 3[H]-mannose-labelled glycoprotein from all disease states studied differed from each other and from normal epidermis. A large 3[H]-mannose-labelled glycoprotein region (band A) with a peak at 97–92 kDa appeared to indicate the presence of a relatively large proportion of basaloid cells in the tissue. An associated peak in the region of 78–74 kDa also appeared in normal epidermis and what appeared to be non-invasive lesions. The main region of change in all lesions corresponded to the 66–34-kDa region (bands B and C). The absence of a group of glycoproteins and proteins in the 62-58-kDa region appeared to be specific for invasive squamous-cell carcinoma. All tumours showed a peak at 38–34 kDa which was not present in normal epidermis. Actinic keratosis had a pattern similar to normal epidermis except that the peaks of band B tended towards the higher-molecular-weight end of the band than those in normal epidermis and peaks at 28–22 kDa were seen. The latter seemed to correspond to the presence of a high proportion of spinous cells in the tissue sample.

Notes: That the palliatae of Plautus and Terence, besides purporting to depict Greek life, were in general adaptations of Greek plays has always been known. Statements in the prologues of the Latin plays and by other ancient authors left no room for doubt about this, while allowing the possibility of some exceptions. The question of the relationship of the Latin plays to their Greek models was first seriously addressed in the nineteenth century, mainly by German scholars, under the stimulus of Romantic criticism which attached paramount importance to originality in art. Since then the question has been constantly debated, often with acrimony, and to this day very different answers to it continue to be given. Yet the question is obviously important, both for those who would measure the artistic achievement of the Latin dramatists and for those who would use the plays to document aspects of Greek or Roman life. It is not disputed that Plautus' plays contain many Roman allusions and Latin puns which cannot have been derived from any Greek model and must be attributed to the Roman adapter. What is disputed is whether this overt Romanization is merely a superficial veneer overlaid on fundamentally Greek structures or whether Plautus made more radical changes to the structure as well as the spirit of his models.

Notes: The Cobra Perilaryngeal Airway™ (Engineered Medical Systems, Indianapolis, IN) is a new supraglottic airway designed for spontaneous and controlled ventilation. It is not yet commercially available in the UK. Our aim was to evaluate the performance of the Cobra Perilaryngeal Airway™ in a cohort study and in a randomised, controlled, crossover comparison study with the Classic Laryngeal Mask Airway™. After studying 29 patients, both studies were suspended and later stopped after two cases of significant pulmonary aspiration had occurred in patients whilst using the Cobra Perilaryngeal Airway™. These cases raised concern about both the design and the safety of the Cobra Perilaryngeal Airway™, particularly during controlled ventilation. We suggest that the Cobra Perilaryngeal Airway™ should not be marketed for controlled ventilation until more safety data are available.
