    Notes: Summary Three experiments were performed to determine whether human prolactin (hPr) affects prostatic uptake and metabolism of testosterone (T). 1) Patients with prostatic cancer were infused twice with radio-labelled androgens, the first time with basal hPr, the second time with oral thyrotrophin-releasing hormone (TRH)-elevated hPr. In 5/7, significant increases in metabolic clearance of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and in conversion of T to DHT accompanied increased hPr. 2) The incorporation of labelled T into minced benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) tissue from subjects with high (40 ng/ml) hPr was measured and was found to be more than twice the uptake into tissue from those with low hPr (6.5±1.9 ng/ml). 3) Uptake and metabolism in vivo of a bolus of 3H-T by BPH and carcinomatous prostates was measured and was far greater in subjects whose hPr was elevated by chlorpromazine than in untreated controls. It is concluded that prolactin increases prostatic uptake and metabolism of T. It is suggested that the best management of prostatic cancer should include depletion of prolactin as well as androgen.

    Notes: It is shown that the depth distribution of X-ray production in the electron microprobe can be accurately described by a Gaussian modified at the sample surface by a transient. Assuming that the Gaussian is a consequence of the electrons undergoing a random walk in the sample and that the transient corresponds with the change from collimated to random electron trajectories enables theoretical values for the amplitudes and coefficients of the two functions to be predicted. There is excellent agreement between the predicted and the observed values. The Lenard coefficient and the electron range can both be estimated from the coefficient in the Gaussian. It is suggested that for microprobe work, Lenard's law for electron absorption be replaced by this revised law. Both the absorption and atomic number corrections of the traditional ZAF approach are replaced by the new function.

    Notes: The Gaussian expression for φ(ρz) has been used as the basis of a computer program for quantitative electron probe microanalysis. Corrections for absorption and atomic number are combined within the expression for φ(ρz) whereas the fluorescence correction is based on numerical integration over the primary and secondary intensities. Error histograms based on about 500 published analyses of standard specimens have been used to adjust the parameters in the Gaussian expression for optimum accuracy. The resultant error histograms are as narrow as those obtained for the most accurate of the current ZAF correction procedures. Extension of the method to non-normal electron incidence is relatively straightforward.
