    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Um zu untersuchen, ob endogene Transmitter bei der Auslösung und Unterhaltung verschiedener Formen des Asthma bronchiale eine Rolle spielen, haben wir bei Kindern vor und nach einer Laufbelastung sowie vor und nach einer inhalativen Provokation mit wäßrigen Allergenextrakten das Serumhistamin, Serumnoradrenalin und den bronchialen Strömungswiderstand (Rt) bestimmt. Die Untersuchung zeigt, daß das Belastungsasthma mit einem starken Anstieg des Plasmanoradrenalins, nicht jedoch des Plasmahistamins einhergeht. Dieser Anstieg war wesentlich ausgeprägter als der bei einem asthmatischen Vergleichskollektiv ohne Anstrengungsasthma. Im Gegensatz dazu zeigten die Kinder, die nach einer Allergenprovokation einen Asthmaanfall entwickelten, einen signifikanten Histamin-, jedoch keinen Noradrenalinanstieg. Zwischen Histamin-Serumspiegel und Stärke der Bronchokonstriktion bestand eine gute Korrelation (r=0.98). Nach oraler Applikation übte Theophyllin einen Schutz sowohl gegenüber dem Anstrengungsasthma, als auch gegenüber dem allergisch bedingten Asthma aus. Da Theophyllin beim allergisch ausgelösten Asthma nicht nur zu einem Abfall von Rt führte, sondern auch den Histaminanstieg verminderte, kann vermutet werden, daß ein Teil der Wirkung dieser Substanz beim allergischen Asthma auf einer Hemmung der Histaminfreisetzung beruht. Die Noradrenalinfreisetzung beim Anstrengungsasthma beeinflußte es nicht. Für seine protektive Wirkung bei dieser Asthmaform müssen daher andere Wirkungsmechanismen angenommen werden. Ob diese ausschließlich auf einer Relaxation beruhen, muß ungeklärt bleiben. Als Schlußfolgerung dieser Untersuchung wird deutlich, daß das Anstrengungsasthma und das allergische Asthma 2 verschiedene Typen eines Syndroms sind. Arzneimittel, die gegenüber beiden Typen wirksam sind, können dies über verschiedene Wirkungsmechanismen tun.
    Notes: Summary To investigate whether endogenous transmitters play a role in different forms of bronchial asthma we determined histamine and noradrenaline plasma levels as well as airway resistance (Rt) before and after exercise and allergen challenge in children. The study demonstrates that in exercise induced asthma (EIA) broncho-constriction was paralleled by increases of noradrenaline, but not of histamine plasma levels. This increase of noradrenaline was much more pronounced than that observed in the asthmatic control group not suffering from EIA. In contrast to what has been observed in EIA, bronchoconstriction in response to allergen challenge was closely associated with increases of histamine, but not of noradrenaline plasma levels. Between histamine concentrations and severity of illness a good correlation was found (r=0.98). Tests carried out after oral administration of theophylline showed a protection against EIAand allergic induced asthma. Since theophylline in allergic asthma concomitantly reduced the increase in Rt and plasma histamine it is suggested that at least part of the beneficial effects of theophylline in allergic asthma may result from inhibition of histamine release. In those children suffering from EIA theophylline did not affect noradrenaline release. Thus, consideration must be given to effects of theophylline against EIA which are based on other mechanisms. Whether these effects are solely attributable to relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle or not remains to be clarified. In conclusion this study clearly has identified exercise and allergic induced asthma as different types of the syndrome that we call asthma. Drugs which prevent against both types may do this by different modes of action.

    Notes: Summary It was suggested that 28 asthmatic children be sensitized against the house dust mite according to a positive case history and/or a positive result of the prick test and the radio-allergosorbent test (RAST). When these children underwent a bronchial provocation test with house dust mite allergen, 19 responded with a bronchoconstriction whereas nine remained unaffected. With the positive results there occurred a good correspondence with case history, prick test, and RAST, the latter being most valid in predicting results of bronchial reagibility to the house dust mite. On the other hand, those children who underwent bronchial provocation due to positive results in at least one of the allergy tests, but who did not respond with bronchoconstriction, showed no correspondence with either history or skin testing and RAST. However, when isolated basophiles from both children's groups were challenged with different house dust mite concentrations, the histamine release not only showed a good correspondence with the positive results of the bronchial provocation test, but also a correct prediction of the negative results could be made. Thus, of all allergy tests, the histamine liberation test appears to be the most valid for predicting the bronchial reagibility of asthmatic children to the house dust mite; this perhaps will allow a reduction in the frequency of inhalation challenges in those asthmatic children who are supposed to have been sensitized against house dust mite.

    Notes: Abstract Among the possible mechanisms which may cause wheezing or asthmatic episodes a genetically determined β-adrenoceptor blockade and a hyperresponsiveness of α-andrenoceptors has been postulated. Evidence to support this hypothesis stems from an increased bronchial sensitivity to β-blockers, a reduced formation of cyclic AMP in response to β-adrenergic stimulation and enhanced α-adrenergic responses in asthmatic subjects. The recent development of techniques for measuring the specific, high-affinity binding of radiolabeled α-and β-adrenergic antagonists made it possible to study α- and β-adrenoceptors in vitro. Based upon the assumption that a change in the number and/or affinity of adrenergic receptors might be a general phenomenon, we have performed α- and β-receptor binding studies on lymphocytes and platelets from wheezing infants and asthmatic children as well as of infants, children, and adults not suffering from these diseases. Using 125[I]-cyanopindolol (ICYP) and 3[H]-yohimbine (HYOH) as highly specific ligands for α- and β-adrenoceptors, the following results were obtained: (1) Lymphocytes and platelets from control subjects and asthamatics bound similar amounts of ICYP and HYOH and thus showed no differences either in the number or the affinity of α- and β-adrenoceptors. Lymphocytes and platelets of wheezing and nonwheezing infants also bound the same amounts of the radioligands. (2) In asthmatic children receiving 4×2 puffs salbutamol β-adrenoceptor were down-regulated and this may mimic β-adrenoceptor blockade. (3) When subjects were divided into four categories according to age (0–5, 5–10, 10–20 years, adults) the number of β-adrenoceptor binding sites showed an age-dependent increase. The number and affinity of α-adreneceptor binding sites on platelets was neither influenced by age nor disease. It is concluded that the α- and β-adrenoceptors of wheezing infants and asthmatic children at least on blood cells are normal. However the β-adrenoceptors show an age-dependent maturation process, which may account for an unresponsiveness to β-adrenoceptor agonists in wheezing infants.

    Notes: Initial appraisals of the status of endangered large-mammal populations may have to depend on indices of population trend. Such indices may possibly be improved by using auxiliary variables. Various models were studied for populations of the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris), Yellowstone grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), and Hawaiian monk seal (Monachus schauinslandi). Several criteria for checking validity of the fitted models were considered, and the simple R2 criterion appears to provide useful comparisons. Multiple regression models overestimated the rate of change of the East Coast manatee population as determined from three other sources (a covariance model, a non-linear model, and the rate estimated from reproductive and survival data). A multiple regression model for grizzly bears using three auxiliary variables exhibited a fairly high R2 (0.84) and appeared to provide a better fit than did a non-linear model. A beach count index for Hawaiian monk seals seemed to be unreliable for year-to-year comparisons in contrast to total population counts and estimates from a capture-recapture method. The use of auxiliary variables for checking and improving trend index data appears feasible and well worthwhile.
