    Notes: Summary Age by itself is not an important risk factor for ADRs. Age-related changes are the consequence of a number of individual factors, for example morbidity associated with polypharmacy, decline in renal or liver function in the elderly, hypoalbuminaemia, reduced body weight, etc. The relationship between gastrointestinal bleeding and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can be assessed globally in large cohort studies with access to computerized data, but complete accuracy requires access to the original patient records. The increase in the risk of GI bleeding in users of NSAIDs and aspirin was 50% above that in non-users. About a quarter of ADRs in hospitalized patients seem not to arise from purely pharmacological mechanisms. They are mainly due to allergic, anaphylactoid, or idiosyncratic reactions and to intolerance. In such non-pharmacological reactions, the time of exposure, reaction time, and even dosage may be important factors in identification of the causal drug. The use of benzodiazepines can be optimized by taking into account potency, time of action and the different syndromes encountered after withdrawal. Following long-term use problems of relapse and rebound are being increasingly recognized, in addition to organic withdrawal symptoms. In psychiatric patients extrapyramidal disorders due to neuroleptics are common. The rates of these ADRs differ markedly between various drugs, even after dosages and co-medications are taken into account. Epidemiological screening for potentially carcinogenic drugs can only be done in large cohorts of patients with pre-recorded full information sets as may be found in an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization). The findings of several such studies have been published in specialist cancer journals. However, most of the associations observed should only be viewed as hypotheses for further investigation. In a classical twenty-year follow-up study of a cohort of phenacetin abusers, there was an excess of patients with renal insufficiency and death related to renal and urogenital causes.

    Notes: We have used degenerate oligonucleotides, derived from the amino acid sequence of transgelin peptides [Shapland et al., 1993: J. Cell Biol. 121:1065-1073], to isolate and sequence overlapping cDNA clones encoding this actin gelling protein. Primers with 5′ restriction enzyme sites directed against the N and C terminal amino acids present in these clones were then used to amplify and clone the entire transgelin coding region from reverse transcribed rat small intestine cDNA (RT-PCR). These studies have shown that transgelin is the product of a single gene which is conserved between yeast, Drosophila, molluscs, and humans. Transgelin is expressed as a single message that is regulated at the level of transcription in SV40 transformed 3T3 cells. Our data have shown that transgelin and several other proteins of unknown function, SM22α [Pearlstone et al., 1987: J. Biol. Chem. 262:5985-5991], mouse p27 [Almendral et al., 1989: Exp. Cell Res. 181:518-530], and human WS3-10 [Thweatt et al., 1992: Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 187:1-7], share extensive homology. More limited regions of homology shared between transgelin and other proteins such as rat NP25 (unpublished), chicken calponins α and β [Takahashi and Nadal-Ginard, 1991: J. Biol. Chem. 266:13284-13288], and Drosophila mp20 [Ayme-Southgate et al., 1989: J. Cell Biol. 108:521-531] suggest that all of these proteins may be classified as members of a new transgelin multigene family. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
