    Notes: Summary Acid phospholipase A1 activity in liver (rat, human) is predominantly localized in lysosomes. A minor proportion (less than 3% of the total activity) is also present in the Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum, presumably due to enzymatically active precursors of the corresponding lysosomal enzyme. Lysosomal phospholipase A1 is the most important enzyme initiating the intralysosomal catabolism of diacylphosphoglycerides. It has been purified 50,600-fold, with a yield of about 26%. The enzyme prefers phosphatidylethanolamine as a substrate, which at 200 µM and pH 4.5, is hydrolysed at a rate of approximately 8.2 U/mg. Lysosomal phospholipase A1 is a glycoprotein of about 29 kDa with an isoelectric point of pH 5.3. Unspecific extralysosomal endogenous inhibitors of this enzyme are pH range, inorganic cations, and various proteins. Divalent cations are more potent inhibitors than monovalent ones. Most endogenous intra- and extracellular proteins inhibit the enzyme, the cationic species exhibiting high inhibitory potencies, glycoproteins only little. Inhibitory proteins act through their binding to the substrate. Lysosomal phospholipase A1 seems to be an important target in drug-induced lipidosis. This lipid storage disease is caused by various cationic amphiphilic drugs that are trapped intralysosomally by protonation. In lysosomes such compounds raise the pH, interact with the polar lipids to be degraded and the lysosomal lipolytic enzymes, such as phospholipase A1. These mechanisms result in impaired intralysosomal phospholipid degradation and hence in intralysosomal phospholipid accumulation.

    Notes: Abstract  A total of 149 consecutive de novo AML patients aged 50 years or less (median age = 37 years) were enrolled in this prospective multicenter trial initiated in May 1985. All patients received the same induction and early consolidation therapy with daunorubicin (DNR), cytosine arabinoside (Ara-C), and etoposide (DAV). High-dose Ara-C/DNR therapy included Ara-C at 3 g/m2, in 12 doses (HD-Ara-C/DNR I) and eight doses (HD-Ara-C/DNR II), followed by DNR 30 mg/m2 for 3 days. A complete remission (CR) was achieved in 104 (70%) patients; 61 complete responders received at least one cycle with HD-Ara-C/DNR. If those patients who were transplanted in first CR (n = 26), were not considered, the median relapse-free-survival (MRFS) of the remaining 78 patients was 15 months, with a probability of relapse-free survival (RFS) at 116 months of 30% (95% CI, 20–40%) after a median follow-up of 95 months. The MRFS of the HD-Ara-C/DNR consolidated patients was 25 months, with a probability of RFS at 116 months of 37% (95% CI, 24–50%). If all patients who were transplanted (n = 44) were not considered, the median survival time (MST) was 18 months with a probability of being alive at 118 months of 24% (95% CI, 16–33%). MST of the HD-Ara-C/DNR consolidated patients was 58 months with a survival probability of 46% (95% CI, 31–60%) at 118 months. Prognostic factor analysis did not reveal any significant influence of age, sex, FAB subtype, white blood cell count, hemoglobin level, thrombocyte count, LDH, or response to the first induction course on RFS of the HD-Ara-C/DNR consolidated patients. In summary, HD-Ara-C/DNR consolidation can improve the long-term outcome of a subgroup of de novo AML patients. Further improvement of the outcome seems to depend on the identification of patients with an inferior outcome under that strategy who might benefit from alternative treatment strategies.

    Involvement of Tachykinins in Endotoxin-Induced Airway Hyperresponsiveness (1997)

    Notes: Abstract. Inhaled endotoxin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), has been shown to result in bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) to endogenous bronchoconstrictive mediators such as histamine. To determine the role of sensory neuropeptides released from bronchopulmonary C-fibers in LPS-induced BHR, 24 guinea pigs were allocated randomly to the following four groups. Animals in Groups I and IV were challenged with intratracheal instillation of 100 μl of saline vehicle, and those in Groups II and III with 1 mg of LPS (Escherichia coli, 0111:B4) in 100 μl of saline. Groups III and IV also received a high dose capsaicin (HDC) treatment to deplete tachykinins from C-fibers 1–2 weeks prior to the experiment. Animals were anesthetized and paralyzed, and total lung resistance (RL) and compliance (Cdyn) were measured continuously during the experiment. Dose responses of RL and Cdyn to histamine (0–8 μg/kg, intravenously) and capsaicin (0–1.6 μg/kg, intravenously), a specific C-fiber stimulant, were obtained prior to and at 1, 2, and 3 h following LPS/saline vehicle challenge. At 2 h after LPS, ΔRL caused by histamine (8 μg/kg) was significantly higher in Group II (1.145%) than that in Group I (280%; p 〈 0.05); similarly, ΔRL caused by capsaicin (1.6 μg/kg) was also increased after LPS (Group I, 107%; Group II, 267%; p 〈 0.05). Although HDC treatment completely abolished the bronchomotor response to capsaicin in both Groups III and IV, it enhanced the LPS-induced BHR to histamine (8 μg/kg; Group III, 1.834%; p 〈 0.05). In conclusion, these results suggest that the role of tachykinins in LPS-induced BHR may be dependent upon the type and the route of administration of the bronchoactive substance studied.

    Notes: Common secondary aromatic amine and alkylated phenolic antioxidants lose much of their activity in polyethylene containing carbon black. In contrast their thioether derivatives provide more protection against oxidation than the sum of the separate contributions of carbon black and the sulfur compounds. Organic disulfides and some thio-ethers without amino or phenolic hydrogen also safeguard polyethylene from oxidation but only in the presence of carbon black. Likewise thiols are excellent protectants in combination with carbon black but not in clear polymer. Aliphatic thiols, disulfides, and their polymeric derivatives and related selenium compounds exhibit similar activity.
