    Notes: Summary The synthesis of six to seven polycistronic transcripts of Newcastle disease virus (NDV) in BHK cells was detected by Northern hybridization using cDNA clones generated by reverse transcription of five NDV mRNAs. Within the molecular weight range resolved by the gel electrophoresis system employed, four of the transcripts were suggested to be distronic, containing sequences of two genes, NP-P, P-M, M-F0 and F0-HN, respectively. In addition, tricistronic molecules of M-F0-HN and possibly of NP-P-M as well as P-M-F0 appeared to develop, although they were very low in amount. These data suggest a gene order of NP-P-M-F0-HN on the NDV genome. The polycistronic as well as monocistronic transcripts were generated with an almost constant proportion in amount throughout the virus replication. Further, at least several of them were also generated under the conditions where only the primary transcription was allowed by inhibitingde novo protein synthesis. Therefore, it appears likely that there is no distinct temporal control in NDV genome expression.

    Notes: Abstract About 15 serial passages of wild type mumps virus (Sasazaki strain) in the amnion sac of chick embryo (CE) yielded a CE-adapted strain which was poorly replicative and did not form plaques in Vero cells where the wild strain grew well. In the course of this limited replication of the CE-adapted strain in Vero cells, we have analysed the viral protein and RNA synthesis. It was found that protein synthesis took place very efficiently at least early in infection by 12 h. The subsequent rate of synthesis remained, however, at a low level without showing the progressively increasing synthesis observed with the wild strain. Furthermore, 50S genomic RNA was synthesized early in the limited infection, but the subsequent synthesis was markedly suppressed. In addition, the other virus-specific RNA species could not be detected throughout. Thus the amplified RNA synthesis observed in the permissive CE cells and in the wild strain-infection of Vero cells seemed not to occur in the limited replication. Neither interferon nor DI (defective interfering) RNA was involved in the limited virus growth. When Vero cells were infected with the wild strain 6 to 8 h before inoculation of CE-adapted strain, growth restriction was overcome and the yield of the latter virus was greatly enhanced by a factor more than 103. These results suggest that through adaptation to CE, mumps virus may be altered in such a way that there is a restriction, probably at a step (s) involved in amplification of the viral RNA synthesis in Vero cells and that the restriction may be overcome by the simultaneous genome expression of the prototype wild strain.

    Notes: Abstract The need for liver grafts is critical in countries where brain death is not accepted as a legal criterion for organ retrieval. This experimental study was conducted with nonhuman primates in order to evaluate the feasibility of liver transplantation using a living donor. An original technique was employed to remove the left part of the liver from the donor: transection of the parenchyma was done while the blood flow was kept to the left part of the liver. In the recipients, the graft was placed heterotopically. No blood transfusions were administered to donors or recipients. In spite of a few failures, due to consequences of intraoperative bleeding, several donor operations using this original technique were successful, in the immediate postoperative period as well as several months later. Among the recipients, the large number of early failures suggests that the heterotopic position is probably not the appropriate one and that orthotopic transplantation should be preferred.
