    Notes: Abstract Catecholamine turnover in brain areas innervated by dopaminergic neurons was examined 2, 6, and 12 days after bilateral, N-methyl-D-aspartate lesions confined to the rat medial prefrontal cortex. The lesion produced a significant regional increase in the concentration of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamine (DA, dopamine) in both the medial prefrontal cortex and the ventral tegmental area. DA concentrations were increased in the nucleus accumbens on day 6 (128% of control), in the ventral tegmental area on day 2 (130% of control), and in the medial prefrontal cortex on days 2 (145% of control) and 6 (127% of control). The only significant changes in the concentration of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) (197% of control), and in the ratio DOPAC/DA (163% of control) were found in the medial prefrontal cortex on day 6 post-lesion. All parameters had returned to control levels by day 12. DA depletion after the administration of α-methyl-p-tyrosine (AMPT) was not significantly different between excitotoxin-lesioned and sham animals on day 6 in all brain regions. Noradrenaline (NA) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethyleneglycol concentrations and their ratios, and the depletion of noradrenaline after AMPT were also determined, and the lesion resulted in a significant regional increase in NA in both the nucleus accumbens and the ventral tegmental area. An elevation of NA (147% of control) in the nucleus accumbens was found on day 12. Since the excitotoxin lesion destroys corticofugal efferents from medial prefrontal cortex to the nucleus accumbens, the anterior corpus striatum and the ventral tegmental area, our results provide no evidence for a role of these cortical projections in the regulation of subcortical DA metabolism. Corticofugal efferents from the medial prefrontal cortex do appear to exert a modulatory effect over NA stores of the nucleus accumbens.

    Notes: In a series of growth room experiments, a determinate line of Vicia faba was shown to be more susceptible to infection by Ascochyta fabae than a conventional indeterminate line. On the determinate line, lesions developed more quickly on younger leaves. No evidence of systemic infection was found and disease transfer to the emerging seedling was probably by physical contact with the infected seed testa. Successful establishment of the disease required leaf wetness for periods of 4 h at 20–25° C to 12 h at 10 C. The rate of pycnidiospore germination on leaves decreased with temperature over this range, but did not differ between the determinate and indeterminate lines.

    Notes: Summary. A multicentre trial was conducted to compare the efficacy and side-effects of an intramuscularly administered PGE2 analogue and vacuum aspiration in women with a delay of up to 21 days in the expected onset of menses. A total of 473 such women were randomly allocated to treatment with either 16-phenoxy-W-17, 18, 19, 20-tetranor PGE2 methyl sulfonylamide (three intramuscular injections of 0.5 mg at 3-h intervals) or vacuum aspiration, and the outcome of therapy assessed 1, 2 and 6–8 weeks later. Retrospective analysis of hCG levels indicated that 419 (88.6%) women had been pregnant at the time of treatment. With few exceptions, administration of the PGE2 analogue induced vaginal bleeding in both pregnant and non-pregnant women but the duration and subjectively perceived amount of bleeding were greater than after vacuum aspiration. Both treatments were equally effective. In pregnant women the overall frequency of complete abortion was 91% for prostaglandin treatment and 94% for vacuum aspiration. If non-pregnant women were included, the respective success rates (i.e. percentages of women not pregnant 2 weeks after treatment) were 92% and 95%. Gastrointestinal side-effects and lower abdominal pain requiring intramuscular analgesia were more common after prostaglandin therapy than following vacuum aspiration in both pregnant and non-pregnant women.

    Notes: Abstract We report the case of a boy with 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency. The clinical features consisted of severe mental retardation, spasticity and seizures remaining static to 7 years of age followed by a phase of rapid deterioration and death at 7 1/2 years of age. The main biochemical findings were homocystinaemia, homocystinuria, a normal methionine level in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid, an increased excretion of methionine in urine and a very low level of folate in the cerebrospinal fluid. The activity of 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase was greatly reduced in the patient's lymphocytes and liver.
