    Notes: Abstract Pharmacological evidence has suggested the presence of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin), 5-HT1D receptors on endothelial cells but these receptors have never been identified unambiguously on this type of cells. We now report that human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) express 5-HT1D receptors coupled to inhibition of cyclic AMP formation. 5-HT and the 5-HT1D receptor agonists 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT) and sumatriptan were approximately equipotent at inhibiting forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in HUVEC (mean pEC50 7.6–8.2, maximal effect 30% inhibition). The 5-HT1A receptor agonist, 8-OH-DPAT was clearly less potent (pEC50 6.2) and less efficacious. The selective 5-HT1D receptor antagonist, GR127935 (1 nM) markedly inhibited the effect of 5-HT (apparent pKB 10.8). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis showed the mRNA for 5-HT1Dβ receptors to be expressed in HUVEC. These results demonstrate the presence of functional 5-HT1D receptors and the expression of 5-HT1Dβ receptor mRNA in HUVEC. They support the involvement of 5-HT1Dβ receptors in endothelial-mediated responses to 5-HT.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Lymphocyte phosphoglucomutase can be used as a genetic marker to document successful engraftment in bone marrow transplant recipients. Two patients who underwent marrow transplantation as a treatment for acute leukemia showed a change into donor-type isozyme pattern.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Phosphoglukomutase aus Lymphozyten kann als genetischer Marker in der Knochenmarktransplantation verwendet werden. Nach Knochenmarktransplantation von zwei Patienten mit akuter Leukose konnte der Übergang in das Iso-Enzymmuster des Spenders beobachtet werden.

    Notes: Summary Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation from histocompatible sibling donors was performed in six patients with extranodal involvement of high grade lymphoma during first complete remission. Five patients had lymphoblastic lymphoma and one had diffuse undifferentiated lymphoma. The cytoreductive/immunosuppressive regimen consisted of total body irradiation and high dose cyclophosphamide. Four patients are alive in complete remission at 8 months, 14 months, 21 months and 47 months post transplantation. One patient who relapsed 7 months after his initial transplantation underwent a second transplantation but another relapse 17 months later led to his death. One patient died of chronic graft-versus-host disease and at autopsy there was no evidence of lymphoma. These data demonstrate that allogeneic bone marrow transplantation can produce durable remissions in patients with high grade lymphoma who present with bone marrow, central nervous system and/or skin involvement.
