    Notes: Abstract In the present study we investigated the long-term effect of intravenous pulse cyclophosphamide (CY) on lymphocyte surface antigens in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Blood samples derived from 17 lupus erythematosus patients were analysed using two- and three-colour flow cytometry. During the CY therapy, the total number of T lymphocytes (CD3+) was reduced by 31.4%, B lymphocytes (CD19+) by 67.4% and NK cells (CD16+) by 27.4%. Six months after the end of the CY regimen, these values recovered to entry levels. At the onset of the study we observed increased percentages of CD3+ CD25+, CD3+ CD4– CD8–, CD4+ CD29+, CD19+ and CD19+ CD5+ cells. The CY treatment regimen decreased the CD3+ CD25+, CD3+ CD4– CD8–, CD19+ and CD19+ CD5+ cells, but increased the CD3+ CD8+ subpopulation. Taken together, a deficiency of CD8+ T cells associated with CD4+ CD29+ predominance may imply an immune regulatory imbalance leading to abnormal CD4+ cell activation and in consequence to autoimmunity. Depletion of CD19+ cells combined with an enlargement of CD8 cells as a result of CY therapy may reduce the enhanced immune response in SLE patients.

    Notes: Abstract Sucrose phosphate synthetase (EC 2.4.1.14) is the key enzyme for sucrose synthesis in Dunaliella tertiolecta. It has been partially purified and characterized. The enzyme contains one binding site for uridine diphosphoglucose and two binding sites for fructose-6-phosphate; it is allosterically controlled by fructose-6-phosphate. Inorganic phosphate stimulates the enzymic activity, particularly in the presence of higher concentrations of fructose-6-phosphate. Sucrose phosphate synthetase is not halophilic or halotolerant. The temperature dependence of the enzymic activity cannot fully explain the observed increase in sucrose synthesis in Dunaliella by elevated temperature.

    Notes: Abstract The halotolerant phytoplankton alga Dunaliella tertiolecta was found to be able to synthesize considerable amounts of sucrose. Because this is in contradiction to the current literature, the physiologic conditions required for sucrose biosynthesis were investigated. Sucrose is only synthesized above a jump temperature, which depends on the NaCl concentration in the medium. Unlike earlier results, which showed that glycerol is synthesized only under photosynthetic conditions, sucrose is also produced in the dark, however at a reduced rate. In the dark, sucrose synthesis ceases after 24 h, thus indicating that sucrose is formed from storage substances.

    Notes: Abstract The temperature dependence of membrane fluidity has been studied by means of spin labeling of intact Dunaliella cells, in the presence of different NaCl concentrations. The obtained data support the proposed hypothesis that the permeability of the chloroplast envelope to fructose-6-phosphate at higher temperatures in the basic regulatory mechanism for sucrose synthesis in Dunaliella.

    Notes: Abstract Although a large variety of biochemical effects have been reported for lithium (Li) and carbamazepine (Cbm), the final molecular mechanism underlying their therapeutic efficacy for recurrent affective disorders is still unknown. The data presented here clearly indicate that therapeutic concentrations of both drugs inhibit sodium nitroprusside-induced accumulation of cGMP in human lymphocytes to about the same extent. The effect is not seen for other antidepressants, and shows pronounced interindividual variations in healthy volunteers. A similar effect of lithium and carbamazepine can also be demonstrated for the cGMP accumulation of central neurons using the model of dissociated cells of the mouse brain. The results are discussed in view of a common mechanism of action of both drugs. Furthermore, it is speculated that the individual sensitivity of the cGMP generating system of human lymphocytes to both drugs might be used to predict therapeutic response or nonresponse of the individual patient.

    Notes: Abstract This study describes clinical signs and symptoms in 16 patients with the DiGeorge syndrome (DGS). Diagnosed on the basis of typical facial stigmata, a broad spectrum of severity is seen with respect to congenital heart disease, hypoparathyroidism and immunologic parameters. A simple index of severity is introduced that clearly differentiates complete forms of the syndrome (cDGS) with poor prognosis from partial forms of the syndrome (pDGS). Of 13 pDGS patients, 12 are still living; 8 underwent corrective heart surgery without infectious complications. Moderate to severe mental retardation is seen in all pDGS patients. Due to the lack of thymus function, immunodeficiency is a result of cDGS, whereas immunoregulatory disturbances (hypergammaglobulinaemia, high titres of specific antibody production) prevail in pDGS patients.

    Notes: Abstract We present immunological in vitro data on a group of 16 patients with the DiGeorge sequence (DGS). Detailed tests gave evidence that the decrease in number and function of mature T-cells is closely correlated with phenotypic expression and represents a wide immunological spectrum ranging from normal function to severe combined immunodeficiency with B-cells. Careful immunological testing in DGS may help to plan therapeutic procedures (i. e. thymic factor therapy or bone marrow transplantation) may also have prognostic significance and help to gain insight into mechanisms operative in disturbances of T-cell regulation.

    Notes: Summary Many studies have demonstrated pharmacologic similarities between platelet and brain 5-HT2 binding sites. Therefore it may be possible to use platelets as a model for the central serotonergic neuron. Accordingly, a previcus report (Kusumi et al. 1991b) about elevated [Ca2+]i after serotonin stimulation in platelets of depressed patients was interpreted as further evidence for enhanced serotonergic sensitivity in depression. However, a very recent study showed an enhanced thrombin-induced platelet Ca2+ response, rather suggesting abnormalities of intracellular Ca2+ regulation in affective disorders. In the present study we have determined 5-HT2-and thrombin-induced Ca2+ responses in platelets and additionally phytohemagglutin (PHA)-induced Ca2+ increase in lymphocytes of medicated depressed patients (8 mono- and 2 bipolar, HRSD〉17) and of ten sex- and age-matched controls. The results showed no significant difference in basal calcium levels between the two groups and no significant difference in the Ca2+ response to thrombin although the response was higher in the patients. The Ca2+ increase after serotonin stimulation in depressed patients was significantly (P〈0.05) higher than in healthy controls. By contrast, the Ca2+ response to PHA in lymphocytes was significantly decreased in the patients. Our data confirm elevated Ca2+ responses after 5-HT2 receptor activation even in medicated depressed patients. However, Ca2+ responses in lymphocytes were decreased. Together with the observations of an enhanced Ca2+ response in platelets after thrombin stimulation, we speculate that the findings rather suggest alterations of [Ca2]i regulation in depression than specific changes of serotonergic sensitivity.

    Notes: The effects on viscose ripening of a variety of materials are reported. (1) Normal constituents (Na2CO3, Na2CS3, NaCl) appeared not to affect ripening; however, Na2S retarded ripening. By-product removal appeared to retard ripening. (2) Oxidizing agents (H2O2, Na2Sx) accelerated ripening; reducing agent (Na2SO3) retarded ripening; this is suggestive of possible addition product formation. (3) Na2SO4, (CH3)2SO, KClO3, Na2BH4 showed no effect on ripening. (4) Salts which precipitated as hydroxides or carbonates did not appear to affect ripening. (5) Salts which formed insoluble sulfides resulted in an initial increase in ripening rates. In later stages, ripening proceeded normally, probably after the salts were removed from solution as insoluble sulfides. (6) FeCl3, BiCl3 and Na3AsO3 appeared to retard ripening. (7) A comparison of the effect on ripening of the trivalent state of elements in group V of the periodic table showed that the rate of ripening decreased with the oxidation potential of the element. (8) The addition of sodium zincate retarded ripening and suggested possible cross-linking of xanthate and by-product sulfur, or of two xanthate groups. (9) Addition of tin and chromium salts at the 0.5% level resulted in gelation of the viscose within 30 min. after the addition.
