    Notes: Abstract A survey is given on the occurrence, the geographic origin and the arm composition of 27 Robertsonian fusion metacentric chromosomes of wild populations of the mouse. Their study is of twofold interest: a) it is possible to introduce these naturally occurring metacentrics in laboratory strains for experimental use. At present, altogether 34 metacentric chromosomes of different composition are available including 7 cases of metacentrics known from laboratory strains of the mouse. b) With the search for metacentrics in the mouse and with their identification insights are permitted in the role of Robertsonian changes in the course of mammalian evolution — Several separate populations of the mouse with different sets of multiple (up to 9) metacentrics have been found in Switzerland and Italy. Some of the individual metacentrics may occur in different populations. The participation of an acrocentric autosome in the formation of metacentrics seem to be at random, but the sex chromosomes are never included in a metacentric. — Homology of the arms involved in metacentrics is conserved, so that in meiosis of interpopulation hybrids long chains or rings are observed. They may include up to 16 metacentrics arranged according to the alternating homologies of their arms. — Reduction of fertility of single or multiple metacentric heterozygotes and of the interpopulation hybrids is due to mechanisms of segregational imbalance and subsequent prenatal elimination of fetal offspring, but it follows also the pattern of male limited hybrid sterility. — From an evolutionary view point, karyotype rearrangements of Robertsonian type may initiate reproductive isolation, which prepares the ground for further genetic diversification and, as in the case of the mouse, of incipient speciation.

    Notes: Abstract Sequential chest radiographs from 40 newborn infants requiring assisted ventilation for respiratory distress syndrome or other conditions were evaluated with a new scoring system aiming at identifying abnormal expansion patterns and interstitial infiltrates representing an early stage of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Age at examination ranged from 3 to 23 days. Tracheal effluent samples obtained from the babes during the same period of observation were examined cytologically for evidence of regenerating airway epithelium with squamous metaplasia, indicating BPD. According to the radiological scoring system 24 babies (60%) developed BPD, first diagnosed at a median age of 9 days. By cytological criteria 20 babies (50%) developed BPD, first diagnosed at a median age of 10.5 days. The results from radiological and cytological diagnosis of BPD were concordant in 16 babies (P〈0.05 by chi-square test). Using oxygen dependency at the age of 28 days as evidence of established BPD, the radiological scoring system alone had a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 53%. The corresponding figures for cytological assessment alone were 73% and 58%, respectively. By combining radiological and cytological findings, values for sensitivity and specificity were 67% and 68%, respectively.

    Notes: Abstract Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease often occurring in ventilator-treated very low birth weight infants. The aetiology of BPD is multifactorial and pulmonary immaturity, high oxygen concentrations, peak inspiratory pressure levels and large tidal volumes during prolonged mechanical ventilation are important factors. We measured in tracheobronchial aspirate fluid (TAF) the concentrations of the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumour necrosis factor α, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8, and IL-1 receptor antagonist in infants requiring artificial ventilation for BPD (n = 17) or respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) (n = 15) or postoperatively after surgery (n = 15). The median levels of all studied cytokines in TAF were higher in infants with BPD without local or systemic corticosteroid treatment compared to the median TAF levels of BPD neonates treated with corticosteroids (P = 0.06–P 〈 0.01). The neonates with BPD not treated with corticosteroids also showed higher levels of the five studied cytokines in TAF compared to infants on short-time ventilator treatment (P 〈 0.01–P 〈 0.001) and compared to neonates with RDS (P = 0.07–P 〈 0.001). The corticosteroid treated neonates with BPD had TAF cytokine levels approaching those of the control neonates. Conclusion Tumour necrosis factors α, IL-1β, IL6, IL8 and IL1ra were markedly elevated in tracheobronchial aspirate fluids from neonates with bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Corticoid treatment seemed to reduce these levels.

    Notes: The addition of 10–20 parts per million nitric oxide to the inspired gas was successful in controlling near fatal pulmonary hypertension after surgical repair of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a neonate. A preceding prostacyclin infusion was unable to prevent the failure of pulmonary perfusion. No side effect of nitric oxide therapy was observed, and ventilatory support could be substantially reduced as a result of the treatment. On the basis of the striking and lifesaving effects of nitric oxide therapy demonstrated in this child, we believe that nitric oxide treatment will prove to be a major contribution to the management of postoperative pulmonary hypertensive crises.

    Notes: Summary 1. Rat liver cytosol has been found to convert alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane to a hydrophilic metabolite by a process that, apparently, is enzymic, has a specific requirement for glutathione, and involves dechlorination. Preliminary evidence suggests that the metabolite is a GSH-conjugate with the HCH-moiety rendered aromatic. 2. The process is susceptible to stimulation by pretreatment with the drug itself.

    Notes: Summary 1. Alpha-hexachlorocyclohexane (alpha-HCH) reduces total nonprotein thiol in the liver of the rat through a reduction in glutathione (GSH) content. Brain and kidney non-protein thiol is not affected. 2. Maximum reduction was by about 50% 18 h after 400 mg/kg, the highest dose tested. At this time, the decrease in liver non-protein thiol was linearly related to dose and to alpha-HCH-concentration in liver as a whole and in the liver cytosol fraction. 3. The effect is thought to be causally related to GSH-dependent degradation of alpha-HCH in the liver, previously shown to take place in vitro.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Aktivität einiger Redoxenzyme der Rattenleber wurde nach Behandlung mit folgenden induzierenden Substanzen untersucht: Phenobarbital, α-Hexachlorcyclohexan (α-HCH), CFT 1201 (Phenyldiallylessigsäure-diäthylaminoäthylester) sowie 3,4-Benzpyren. Der zeitliche Ablauf der Aktivitätsänderungen wurde verfolgt. 1. α-HCH und CFT 1201 erhöhen ebenso wie Phenobarbital die Cytochrom-P450-Konzentration und die NADPH-abhängige Reduktion von Cytochrom c. Die Aktivität der NADH-Cytochrom c-Reduktase wird durch die drei Substanzen gesenkt. Die Aktivität der Aldehyd-Oxydase aus Hyaloplasma wird nur durch α-HCH beschleunigt. 2. Phenobarbital und α-HCH steigern die Demethylierungsrate von Aminopyrin wesentlich mehr als die Konzentration des Cytochroms P450. Benzpyren erhöht die Hydroxylierungsgeschwindigkeit von Acetanilid stärker als die Konzentration des P450. 3. CFT 1201 hemmt die Acetanilid-Oxydation nur in vivo, nicht aber in vitro. 4. Phenobarbital induziert die mikrosomalen Enzyme stärker als α-HCH, während dieses — wie frühere Befunde zeigten — zu einer stärkeren Proliferation der Leberzellen führt.
    Notes: Summary In rats, the activity of some hepatic redox-enzymes was measured following the administration of the enzyme-inducing substances phenobarbital, α-hexachlorocyclohexane (α-HCH = α-benzene hexachloride), CFT 1201 (phenyl-diallylacetic acid ester of diethylaminoethanol), or 3,4-benzpyrene. In particular, the time course of changes in enzyme activities was studied. 1. α-HCH and CFT 1201, like phenobarbital, increase the concentration of cytochrome P450 and accelerate the NADPH-dependent reduction of cytochrome c. All three substances reduce the activity of NADH-cytochrome c-reductase. On the other hand, only α-HCH, increases aldehyde oxidase activity in the hyaloplasm. 2. Phenobarbital and α-HCH both enhance the rate of demethylation of aminopyrine considerably more than they increase the concentration of cytochrome P450. Similarly, benzpyrene produces an increase in the rate of hydroxylation of acetanilide that is higher than the increase in concentration of P450. 3. CFT 1201 inhibits acetanilide-oxidation in vivo, but not in vitro. 4. Phenobarbital induces microsomal enzymes more strongly than does α-HCH, whereas this latter compound—as earlier observations have shown—stimulates liver cell proliferation much more than phenobarbital.
