    Notes: Summary Homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and tryptophan (TRP) were measured in the CSF obtained from the basal cistern of 20 patients, who had undergone surgical obliteration of bleeding aneurysms within 3 days after subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). The concentrations of these substances, which were assayed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), were the highest on days 3 or 4, and thereafter showed a gradual decrease with an increase in time. The cisternal CSF in patients who had severe pre-operative clinical grades of SAH or vasospasm contained relatively higher concentrations of HVA, 5-HIAA and TRP than those contained in patients who did not. It is proposed that SAH stimulates the release of monoamines from the brain with the resultant extracellular accumulation of their metabolites and their diffusion into CSF during the acute stage. This stimulatory effect of SAH on the brain monoamine system may be consistent with those previously reported in cases of cerebral haemorrhage or infarction.

    Notes: Summary In order to clarify the stage of abnormal activation of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) B cells, we investigated the cell-cycle phase of SLE B cells by flow-cytometric analysis. This study uses the simultaneous flow-cytometric analysis of cellular DNA content and incorporated bromodeoxyuridine, an analogue of thymidine, as indicators for DNA synthesis to detect activated B cells in peripheral blood of patients with SLE. In active SLE, the percentage of B cells increased in the S and G2M phase and decreased in the G0G1 phase as compared with normal control subjects. In inactive SLE, the percentage of B cells in the S phase also increased. Active SLE B cells did not progress through the cell cycle with the stimulation of anti-IgM plus PMA or SAC plus BSF, although normal B cells transit into S and G2M phase with such stimulation. These data suggest that SLE B cells are already activated and shifted to a matured state and that for this reason the B cells were poorly responsive to mitogen.
