    Notes: Abstract An intravenous infusion method is described for rapidly producing physical dependence in rats. Rats were infused with morphine or meperidine for 24 or 48 h at constant rates and the development of physical dependence was assessed by body weight loss after naloxone challenge. Naloxone challenge induced body weight losses that were dependent upon magnitude, rate and duration of infusion. The steady-state concentrations of morphine (4 mg/kg/h) in serum and meperidine (6 mg/kg/h) in plasma were 4 and 2.5 μg/ml, respectively. Morphine concentration in the brain in the steady-state (4 mg/kg/h) was 0.7 μg/g and in the serum was proportional to the infusion rate. Maximum body weight loss was significantly correlated with total amount of infused morphine, but not with the steady-state concentration of the drug in the serum. These results suggest that total doses of infused morphine, not steady-state concentrations, are critical in producing body weight loss.

    Notes: Abstract Alternating current stimulation of the eye generates an occipital electrically evoked response (a.c.-e.e.r.) of which the frequency characteristic shows a monophasic pattern for which the optimum stimulus frequency for evoking a maximum response is 18 Hz. A.C.-E.E.R. is a very useful tool for making a diagnosis of pigmentary retinal dystrophy and is different from the e.r.g. in that it is not affected by diseases of the optical system such as strong refractive anomalies or vitreous opacities.
