    Notes: Summary Compound action potentials evoked by electrical stimulation in the brainstem of anaesthetized, paralyzed cats and rabbits were recorded distally in the carotid sinus nerve. The latencies of the components of the responses were indicative of fibres with conduction velocities between 0.5 and 32 m/s. These include both myelinated and unmyelinated fibres. Using histological reconstructions of the ‘responsive sites’, the termination of the primary afferent fibres of the sinus nerve within the medulla was mapped. In both cat and rabbit these responsive sites were restricted to thedorsomedial medulla in the vicinity of the NTS 0–3 mm rostral to the obex. Although in the cat the fast conducting myelinated fibres (conduction velocities 〉12.5 m/s) were discretely localized to the ventrolateral area of the NTS, the slower conducting myelinated and unmyelinated fibres were found more diffusely, spreading into areas dorsal and medial to the NTS. In the rabbit the terminals of all types of fibre were mainly confined to the NTS although some C fibres appeared to be grouped in the juxta-alar region. Responses were never evoked from the medial reticular formation or nucleus ambiguus in either cats or rabbits. The organization of the sinus nerve input to the medulla is discussed in the light of these results.

    Notes: Abstract In a greenhouse pot study, we examined the availability of N to grain sorghum from organic and inorganic N sources. The treatments were 15N-labeled clover residues, wheat residues, and fertilizer placed on a sandy clay loam and loamy sand soil surface for an 8-week period. Soil aggregates formed under each soil texture were measured after 8 weeks for each treatment. Significantly greater 15N was taken up and recovered by grain sorghum in sandy clay loam pots compared with loamy sand pots. Greater 15N recovery was consistently observed with the inorganic source than the organic sources regardless of soil texture or time. Microbial biomass C and N were significantly greater for sandy clay loam soil compared with the loamy sand. Microbial biomass 15N was also significantly greater in the sandy clay loam treatment compared to the loamy sand. The fertilizer treatment initially had the greatest pool of microbial biomass 15N but decreased with time. The crop residue treatments generally had less microbial biomass 15N with time. The crop residues and soil texture had a significant effect on the water-stable aggregates formed after 8 weeks of treatments. Significantly greater water-stable aggregates were formed in the sandy clay loam than the loamy sand. Approximately 20% greater water-stable aggregates were formed under the crop residue treatments compared to the fertilizer only treatment. Soil texture seemed to be one of the most important factors affecting the availability of N from organic or inorganic N sources in these soils.

    Notes: Abstract Introduction: This was a dose escalation phase I trial designed to establish the MTD (maximum tolerated dose) and toxicity profile of the combination of gemcitabine, leucovorin and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). Methods: Standard eligibility criteria were required for patients with advanced malignancy to enrol. Gemcitabine was escalated from an initial dose of 800 mg/m2. Gemcitabine was administered prior to leucovorin (25 mg/m2) followed by bolus 5-FU (600 mg/m2) every week for 3 weeks followed by 1 week of rest. Results: Of 21 patients enrolled, 20 were eligible for MTD determination. Patients received a median of three 4-week cycles of chemotherapy (range: 1 to 8 cycles). Toxicity was predominantly hematologic or gastroenterologic. Four dose levels were studied. At a gemcitabine dose of 1,500 mg/m2 systemic symptoms of fatigue accompanied hematologic toxicity and patients refused further therapy. At 1,250 mg/m2, full dose intensity was not delivered during the first cycle in 7 of 8 patients treated. Therefore, 1,000 mg/m2 was established as the recommended phase II dose for gemcitabine in this study. Antitumor activity was seen at all dose levels. Conclusions: The combination of gemcitabine, leucovorin and 5-FU was tolerable at full doses of all 3 drugs with an expected toxicity profile. Recommended phase II dose for gemcitabine was 1,000 mg/m2. Initial evidence of clinical activity was seen in a variety of tumor types.
