    Notes: Abstract Cuprozinc superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD) was isolated from bovine erythrocytes by pH-controlled ammonium sulfate-methanol extraction (ASME extraction). Adjustment of the pH of a suspension of the lysed red cells in the presence of ammonium sulfate (90% saturation) to pH 5.0, followed by partition with an equal amount of methanol, resulted in isolation of the enzyme with specific, activity of greater than 2000 units/mg of protein. Further purification using DEAE-cellulose column chromatography gave a highly purified Cu,Zn-SOD showing a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Using this procedure about 14 mg of pure Cu,Zn-SOD with a specific activity of 4728 units/mg of protein can be recovered from one liter of bovine blood. The enzyme was characterized and the results obtained were in agreement with earlier reports. This procedure appears, therefore, to be a convenient method for isolating the enzyme.

    Notes: Summary Effects of dorsal root entry zone lesions (DREZLs) on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma concentrations of neuropeptides, catecholamines, and cyclic nucleotides were studied in 9 patients with intractable chronic pain. Contents of β-endorphin-like-material in CSF decreased in all patients 12–17 days following DREZLs during which complete to good pain relief was achieved. Contents of β-endorphin-like-material in CSF increased again about one month after DREZLs in two and remained unchanged in one of three patients tested, who complained of partial reappearance of pain. Contents of β-endorphin-like-materials in plasma showed no significant changes after DREZLs. Substance P, noradrenaline, adrenaline, and cyclic nucleotide levels in both CSF and plasma were variable among the subjects and did not change significantly following the operations. Thus, the results suggest that production of β-endorphin-like-material in the central nervous system is decreased by DREZL, though the increase in its turn-over might not be neglected. The mechanisms of the decrease in contents of β-endorphin-like-material in CSF after DREZLs were discussed in terms of our current knowledge of pain and pain inhibitory systems.
