    Notes: Three molecules derived from Nocardia opaca bacteria, NDCM, NWSMP, and PG, have been shown to express immunomodulating properties. The present study was aimed al assessing the effects of these derivatives on natural killer (NK) activity. Two experimental protocols were adopted, consisting of incubating whole or Percoll fractionated NK cells in vitro with those substances, and the other in which the derivatives were administered in vivo so mice and the activity assessed later. Incubation of spleen cells in vitro with NWSMP or its precursor NDCM promoted NK activity. This effect could be observed after only 2 h of incubation and continued until day 2. Percoll fractions 1–3, which contain most of the NK activity, were enhanced to a similar extent. Band 4, which is usually devoid of such activity, remained unresponsive even after contact with the N. opaca derivatives. PG was practically ineffective upon all the subsets. The results of experiments in vivo correlated with those obtained in vitro in that NWSMP and NDCM, but not PG, promoted NK activity. Bands 1–3 were similarly enhanced, the effect was observed after short treatment times, and could be partially cancelled by the concomitant administration of anti interferon antibodies (anti-IFN Ab). All these findings suggest that the promoting effects of N. opaca derivatives are mediated through alpha/beta IFN. In contrast to the results observed on spleen NK cells. NK cells from the peritoneum displayed susceptibility mainly to PG, and much less to NWSMP or NDCM. The administration of PG to mice in vivo had a particularly marked promoting effect upon the cytotoxic activity of peritoneal cells. One logical explanation for the difference observed between PG and NWSMP or NDCM may be related to the specific IFN inducing properties of these compounds as well as to die different responsiveness of die NK cells present in the spleen and peritoneal cavity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wurden verschiedene Ausgangsgemische, bestehend aus dem Diglyzidyläther von Bisphenol A, diepoxydiertem Kardanol als reaktives Streckmittel, einem Anhydrid als Vernetzungsmittel und einem tertiären Amin als Vernetzungskatalysator mit bzw. ohne Anwendung eines Fortifyers untersucht. Der Einfluss des Fortifyers auf das Streckmittel wurde ebenfalls untersucht. Die Bruttokinetik der Vernetzung zeigt eine Temperaturabhängigkeit einfachen Arrhenius-Types mit einer Aktivierungsenergie im Bereich von 54–120 kJ/mol sowie einen Reaktionstyp erster Ordnung mit einer Konversionsrate von 85%. Ein steigender Streckmittelgehalt bewirkt ein Anwachsen der Aktivierungsenergie. Der Vernetzungsreaktion liegt ein Dreistufenmechanismus zu Grunde, der unter anderem auch eine nukleofile bimolekulare Substitutionsreaktion beinhaltet. Der Einsatz eines Fortifyers senkt zwar die Vernetzungstemperatur, verändert aber nicht die Endkonversionsrate.

    Notes: Abstract Different formulations, composed of the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A, diepoxidized cardanol as reactive diluent, an anhydride as curing agent, and a tertiary amine as curing catalyst, with/without the use of an epoxy fortifier, were analysed. The effect of the fortifier on the diluent was also observed. The overall kinetics of curing was observed to follow a simple Arrhenius-type temperaturedependence, with an activation energy in the range 54–120 kJ/mol, with first-order kinetics up to 85% conversion. An increase in activation energy was observed with an increase of diluent content. The curing reaction was found to follow a three-step mechanism, involving a nucleophilic bimolecular displacement reaction, for which an explanation was offered. Incorporation of the fortifier lowers the curing temperature, but does not alter the final degree of reaction.

    Notes: Abstract Five commercially available systems for identification of coagulase-negative staphylococci to the species level were evaluated using 163 clinical staphylococcal isolates. The conventional method of Kloos and Schleifer served as reference method. The API 20GP system showed the highest rate of agreement with the reference method, correctly identifying 98.8% of the isolates. The Microscan system had an overall rate of agreement of 96.3 %, and Staph-Trac, Sceptor and Staph-Ident rates of 88.8 %, 87.6 % and 84. % respectively.

    Notes: Summary Three isocoumarins have been isolated from a strain ofStreptoverticillium sp. and all inhibit the calmodulin-sensitive cyclic guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17, Boehringer Mannheim). Two of the compounds, 6,8-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-3-methyl isocoumarin and 6,7,8-trihydroxy-3-methyl isocoumarin have previously been isolated fromStreptomyces. The third fermentation product, 6,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl isocoumarin, was also found as a metabolite ofCeratocystis minor, a fungal species associated with the blue stain disease of pine [2,3].

    Notes: Abstract Methods for the preparation and analysis of a new renal radiopharmaceutical,99mTc-thiodiglycolic acid (TDGA), are reported. The kit for Tc-TDGA contains a lypophilized acidic (pH 2.5) mixture of 5 mg TDGA and 0.05 mg SnCl2·2H2O. Acetate buffer has been found to be a suitable solvent for paper chromatography of99mTc-TDGA. The results of the quantitative organ distribution studies in rats and rabbits indicated the characteristics of99mTc-TDGA to be intermediate to the renal tubular agent131I-Hippuran and the GFR agent99mTc-DTPA.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Studie wurde vom Institut für Sozial- und Präventivmedizin in Lausanne mit finanzieller Unterstützung von neun kantonalen Sanitätsdirektionen durchgeführt. Ziel war zu untersuchen, wie DRG in der Schweiz benützt werden könnten. Als Datenquelle diente hauptsächlich die medizinische Statistik der VESKA. In einem ersten Schritt wurden Tabellen zur Umwandlung der Diagnose- und Operationscodes der Schweiz in amerikanische Codes erstellt, welche anschliessend die direkte Verwendung der «Yale Grouper» erlaubten. In einem zweiten Schritt konnte gezeigt werden, wie die umfassenden DRG, ähnlich wie in den Vereinigten Staaten, verwendet werden können, um die Variabilität der Aufenthaltsdauer zu verringern. Probleme hingegen ergaben sich bei der Vereinheitlichung der medizinisch-technischen Massnahmen für DRG. Ein dritter Teil zeigt, wie DRG von der Finanzverwaltung der Spitäler benützt werden können, sowie die Probleme, die bei der Kostenberechnung mit DRG auftauchen. Andere Anwendungsbeispiele der DRG werden vor allem im Vergleich des Casemix und der Aufenhaltsdauer zwischen verschiedenen Spitälern dargestellt.
    Abstract: Summary Sponsored by the Health Administrations of nine cantons, this study was conducted by the University Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine in Lausanne in order to assess how DRGs could be used within the Swiss context. A data base mainly provided by the Swiss VESKA statistics was used. The first step provided the transformation of Swiss diagnostic and intervention codes into US codes, allowing direct use of the Yale Grouper for DRG. The second step showed that the overall performance of DRG in terms of variability reduction of the length of stay was similar to the one observed in US; there are, however, problems when the homogeneity of medicotechnical procedures for DRG is considered. The third steps showed how DRG could be used as an account unit in hospital, and how costs per DRG could be estimated. Other examples of applications of DRG were examined, for example comparison of Casemix or length of stay between hospitals.

La troisième partie montre comment les DRG peuvent être utilisés dans la gestion financière des hôpitaux et quels sont les problèmes posés par le calcul d'un coêt par DRG. D'autres exemples d'application des DRG sont formulés, en particulier les comparaisons de Casemix et de durées de séjours entre hôpitaux.

    Description / Table of Contents: Respropiophenon-Formaldehyd-Copolymere wurden durch Kondensation von 2,4-Dihydroxypropiophenon (Respropiophenon (RPP)) und Formaldehyd (F) in Gegenwart von NaOH oder H2SO4 als Katalysator mit unterschiedlichen molaren Anteilen der Monomeren hergestellt. Die Copolymeren wurden durch Elementaranalyse, IR-Spektroskopie, Viskositäts- und thermogravimetrische Untersuchungen charakterisiert. Ihr durchschnittliches Molekulargewicht wurde durch nichtwäßrige Leitfähigkeitstitrationen und Dampfdruckosmometrie bestimmt. Die Chelat-Ionenaustauscher-Eigenschaften wurden unter Anwendung der Batch-Gleichgewichtsmethod untersucht. Polychelate von Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), VO(II) und UO2(II) mit RPP-F-AI Copolymeren wurden horgestellt. Die analytischen Daten zeigen eine 1 : 2 Metall-Ligand-Stöchiometrie. Es wurden Elementaranalyse, magnetische, spektroskopische und thermische Eigenschaften der Polychelate ermittelt und mögliche Strukturen der Polychelate aufgezeigt. Alle Polychelate sind amorphe Pulver und unlöslich in den herkömmlichen organischen Lösungsmitteln.
    Notes: Respropiophenone-formaldehyde copolymers (RPP-F) were synthezised by the condensation of 2,4-dihydroxypropiophenone (respropiophenone (RPP)) and formaldehyde (F) in the presence of NaOH or H2SO4 as catalyst with varied molar ratios of reacting monomers. The copolymers were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, viscosity, and TGA studies. Their M̄n was determined by nonaqueous conductometric titrations and vapour pressure osmometry (VPO). Chelation ion-exchange properties have also been studied employing the batch equilibration method. Polychelates of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), VO(II), and UO2(II) with RPP-F-AI copolymer were prepared. The analytical data agree with 1 : 2 metal-ligand stoichiometry. Elemental analysis, magnetic, spectral, and thermal properties of polychelates have been studied and probable structures are assigned to the polychelates. All the polychelates are amorphous powders, insoluble in common organic solvents.
