Abstract
1. Human leucocyte ABC antigens were determined by means of a lymphocytotoxicity test in 27 patients with previous essential malignant hypertension and in 500 blood donors. 2. In 18 patients with grade IV retinopathy human leucocyte antigen B15 (HLA B15) was found in 44%, as compared with 23% in the control subjects (P = 0.888). 3. All patients with HLA B15 had a positive family history for hypertension. 4. In 18 patients with grade IV retinopathy HLA B15 was found in eight whereas none of the nine patients with grade III retinopathy had this antigen (P = 0.039). 5. Of the 27 patients, 19 had a positive family history of hypertension and of these eight had HLA B15, whereas none of the eight patients with a negative family history had this antigen (P = 0.068). 6. The findings do not rule out that HLA B15 may be associated with the development of the malignant phase in patients with essential hypertension, but a statistically significant relationship could not be established.

Abstract
Three patients suffering from Bartter's syndrome were studied before and after 5 days of treatment with the prostaglandin synthetase inhibitors, aspirin and indomethacin. Saralasin was given by intravenous infusion in increasing doses from 0.6 to 42 micrograms/min.kg/BW. During saralasin infusion a blood pressure reduction was observed in all patients. Aspirin treatment did not affect this response and nor did it affect other manifestations of the syndrome. Indomethacin treatment changed the blood pressure response to saralasin in such a way that the blood pressure was increased in one patient and was unchanged in the other. Indomethacin also tended to normalize other features of Bartter's syndrome, such as the hyperreninaemia and angiotensin unresponsiveness, but did not affect the hypokalaemia. The saralsin effect on blood pressure is thus evidently inversely related to the prevailing activity of the renin-angiotensin system in this condition also, and the patients obviously depended on the renin-angiotensin system to maintain their blood pressure. Our findings, together with data in the literature, indicate that angiotensin unresponsiveness of the vascular bed is not a primary feature in Bartter's syndrome. Chloride loss is currently thought to be the basic abnormality and this may link the Bartter's syndrome with other diseased states characterized by chloride loss, such as the syndrome of habitual vomiting and chronic treatment with loop diuretics.

Abstract
Blood cadmium and plasma zinc were measured in a series of 47 patients admitted for myocardial infarction (MI) and in 37 control subjects divided into 3 groups. Certainly increased blood cadmium values, for the MI patients, were found in 33%. The mean blood cadmium value of the MI series was significantly (P less than 0.001), but not invariably, higher against the control subjects. The difference between the zinc values of the series was studied in 35 MI patients with raised serum enzyme activity. In MI patients, the mean plasma zinc content was significantly (0.001 less than P less than 0.01) lower than in healthy controls. Of the enzymes, the highest positive correlation was found between the ratio of blood cadmium to plasma zinc and the GOT activity. Of the ratio, the MI patients had values in excess of the controls range in 43%, and values within the limits of the healthy controls in 40%. Therefore, the rise in the ratio is of limited value for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction in an individual patient.

Abstract
1 A treatment group comprising 635 hypertensive men (casual SBP greater than 175 or DBP greater than 115 twice) was compared with a reference group (n = 391 men; casual SBP greater than 175 or DBP greater than 115 only at screening). All men belonged to the same population sample of 7,455 men aged 47-54 yr. 2 The two groups did not differ with respect to age, smoking habits or cholesterol values, but screening BPs were higher in the treatment group. 3 During 4.3 years' follow-up there was a significantly lower total death rate in the treatment group compared with reference group. 4 There was also a strong tendency towards lower incidence of non-fatal myocardial infarction (P = 0.06). The pooled incidence of non-fatal myocardial infarction and fatal CHD was lower in the treatment group than in the reference group (P less than 0.03).

Abstract
Agarose gel electrophoresis (at pH 8.6) was used for qualitative determination of pancreatic enzymes in duodenal juice. The various enzymes were identified by staining techniques with specific chromogenic substrates, by quantitative determination of enzymes in eluates of gel slices, and by immunoelectrophoresis. The various protein bands corresponded to the following enzymes (from the anode to the cathode): chymotrypsin, trypsin, carboxypeptidase A, chymotrypsin, amylase (around the slit), lipase, elastase, and trypsin. The method was applied to a study of exocrine pancreatic function in 10 adults and 83 children suspected of having malabsorption. The duodenal juice, also analyzed for trypsin and amylase content, was collected in fasting condition and after a test meal of water. In patients with normal pancreatic function, all the enzyme bands were present and easy to recognize. In 87 patients carboxypeptidase A was present as two bands in 68 (80%), anodal trypsin as two bands in 39 (45%), and cathodal trypsin as two bands in 85 (97%). Electrophoresis of duodenal juice gave as much information from the fasting sample as after the test meal. Six children with pancreatic insufficiency (cystic fibrosis and Shwachmar's syndrome) had no or only faintly stained enzyme bands and a strongly stained albumin-containing band most anodally. The method is simple, rapid, and useful in routine work. The combination of this qualitative test with a quantitative one (e.g. trypsin determination) provides good information about exocrine pancreatic function.

Abstract
Within a group of 1026 men aged 47-54, cause-specific death-rates and the incidence of non-fatal myocardial infarction and stroke in treatment group of 635 hypertensive men (casual systolic B.P. greater than 175 or diastolic B.P. greater than 115 mm Hg on two occasions) treated at a hypertension clinic were compared with those in a control group of 391 men (causal systolic B.P. greater than 175 or diastolic greater than 115 mm Hg on only one occasion) who remained mainly untreated during their 4.3 years of follow-up. The predicted risk of coronary heart-disease (C.H.D.) at entry, calculated by a multiple logistic function, was slightly higher in the treatment group. Total death-rate during follow-up was significantly lower in the treatment group (3.3%) than in the control group (6.1%). The difference in death-rate for C.H.D. was of the same relative order (0.8% versus 1.5%), as was the incidence of non-fatal myocardial infarction (2.8% versus 5.4%), although none of the differences reached statistical significance. However, the pooled incidence of fatal and non-fatal C.H.D. was significantly lower in the treatment group (3.6%) than in the control group (6.9%). The results suggest that antihypertensive treatment might be effective in preventing or postponing C.H.D. in middle-aged men.

Abstract
Acebutolol, a new cardioselective beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent, has been evaluated for the treatment of hypertension. Thirty eight previously untreated male patients with essential hypertension received placebo treatment during a 4-week run-in period, and then they were randomly (double-bind) allocated either to continued placebo treatment for three 4-week periods or to treatment with acebutolol 400, 600, and 1200 mg daily, respectively, for three 4-week periods. Blood pressure and heart rate were recorded at the end of each 4-week period. Treatment with acebutolol produced statistically significant reductions in blood pressure and heart rate as compared to the placebo regimen.

Abstract
Systolic and diastolic blood-pressure was significantly higher in 44 male industrial workers with a noise-induced auditory impairment (greater than or equal to 65 dB at 3000, 4000, or 6000 Hz) than in 74 males of the same age with normal hearing. Moreover, significantly more individuals with hypertension (resting recumbent blood-pressure greater than or equal to 160/100 mm Hg) were found in the group with noise-induced loss of hearing. It is suggested that replaced and prolonged exposure to a stressful stimulus (industrial noise severe and prolonged enough to cause a permanent loss of hearing at the relevant frequencies) may be a contributing factor to the rise in blood-pressure through a mechanism involving structural adaption of blood-vessels in response to repeated peaks of raised blood-pressure.

Abstract
1. Vascular resistance at maximal vasodilatation was examined in two vascular beds in two groups of hypertensive patients and in normotensive control subjects before and during anti-hypertensive therapy in the hypertension groups. 2. In one group of twelve untreated patients with essential hypertension, examined with plethysmography and intra-arterial blood pressure recording, a significantly higher vascular resistance at maximal vasodilatation was found in the hands compared with normotensive control subjects matched for age, sex, weight and height. This indicated a structural vascular abnormality in the patient group. 3. After 5 years of anti-hypertensive therapy in the patient group the difference in vascular resistance between patients and control subjects had decreased significantly, indicating a reversibility of the structural vascular abnormality. 4. Vascular resistance at maximal vasodilatation was examined in the calves of twelve untreated patients with essential hypertension and fourteen normotensive control subjects. Plethysmographic technique and indirect blood pressure recordings were used. A significantly higher vascular resistance was found in patients than in control subjects, indicating a structural vascular abnormality also in this vascular bed. 5. Anti-hypertensive treatment for 6 months in the patient group did not change vascular resistance at maximal dilatation, indicating that the structural vascular abnormality remained. 6. During acute reduction of blood pressure in hypertension by means of trimethaphan infusion, blood pressure and blood flow to the hands were reduced proportionally with no change of vascular resistance at maximal vasodilatation. 7. This indicates that resistance at maximal dilatation was unaffected by the acute reduction of blood pressure, in contrast to the findings after prolonged reduction of blood pressure in this vascular bed.

Abstract
1. Atenolol (ICI 66.082, Tenormin) is a new beta-adrenoreceptor-blocking agent, devoid of intrinsic sympathomimetic and membrane-stabilizing properties. It does not cross the blood-brain barrier. 2. Atenolol given to hypertensive patients in initial open trials reduced arterial blood pressure significantly. 3. A double-blind comparison between atenolol and placebo in forty-five patients with essential hypertension demonstrated that atenolol gave a statistically significant reduction of blood pressure (delta 28/15 mmHg, P less than 0-005). 4. The optimum anti-hypertensive dose of atenolol in patients with mild to moderately severe essential hypertension was 200 mg daily. 5. Atenolol was compared with propranolol in thirty patients with essential hypertension. No statistically significant differences of anti-hypertensive effect were observed between the two drugs. 6. Long-term results (up to 2 years) in 117 hypertensive patients indicate that drug tolerance is good. No serious toxic effects were observed. 7. In four of twelve hypertensive patients with obstructive airways disease atenolol had to be withdrawn owing to deterioration of ventilatory function.

Abstract
1Labetalol is a new compound with antagonistic effects at both alpha- and beta-adrenoreceptor sites. 2 When given to 12 hypertensive patients at an average daily dosage of 273 mg for 7 months statistically significant reductions (compared with pretreatment values) in recumbent and standing blood pressure were observed. 3 Treatment has to be withdrawn in one patient because of vivid dreams, and dosage was reduced in one patient because of dizziness. Otherwise no side-effects of importance were noted. 4 It can therefore be concluded that labetalol offers a useful anti-hypertensive effect and that this compound is well tolerated.

Abstract
Increments in heart rate during the TNG test (sublingual nitroglycerin with assumption of upright posture), passive head-up tilt, and postrecumbency standing were compared to the effects of intravenous isoproterenol in 15 mild hypertensives during administration of placebo and two dosage levels of propranolol. TNG test results correlated with responsiveness to isoproterenol, but nitroglycerin tachycardia was reduced only about 50% during propranolol treatment. The TNG response was almost maximally inhibited by 160 mg/day of propranolol while the response to postrecumbency standing was inhibited only by a dose of 320 mg/day. The results indicate that: (1) the TNG test is of limited value in the assessment of beta adrenergic blockade in hypertensive patients, and (2) propranolol in a dose of 160 mg/day induces near-maximal cardiac blockade.

Abstract
Propranolol was given to 30 patients with essential hypertension following randomised, double-blind administration of either placebo or a new cardioselective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist, atenolol (Tenormin, ICI 66 082). Both atenolol and propranolol caused statistically significant reduction of recumbent and erect blood pressure and heart rate. There were no important differences between these variables on comparison of atenolol and propranolol.

Abstract
The antihypertensive effect of atenolol, a new beta-1-receptor blocking agent, was studied in a double-blind trial in which 45 patients with essential hypertension were randomly assigned to placebo or atenolol treatment. Atenolol caused a statistically significant and clinically relevant reduction of blood pressure. The optimum daily dose for moderately severe hypertension was considered to be 200 mg. Several irrelevant side effects were collected by the use of a check list, but there was no difference in the number of complaints during placebo and active treatment. Atenolol has a useful antihypertensive effect and, at least theoretically, has advantages over other beta-adrenergic blocking agents.

Abstract
The effect on blood pressure of high (400 mg/day-S400) and moderate dose (200 mg/day-S200) spironolactone and chlorthalidone (100 mg/day-C100), given in a random double-blind manner was related to plasma renin activity and plasma volume in 38 essential hypertensives. The fall in pressure from a control of 154/103 mm Hg was essentially the same after four weeks of each drug--S400 deltaBP 24/13 mm, S200 18/9 mm, C100 17/12 mm (all P less than 0-001). Twelve of 37 patients (32%) had low initial renin, but this appeared as responsive to the chlorthalidone stimulus as that of the normal renin group. The antihypertensive effect of all regimens was unrelated to plasma renin activity. Plasma volume was significantly lowered at the end of each treatment period, but the decline could not be correlated with blood pressure effects. Patients with initially low plasma volume were more likely to respond to S400 (r = 0-545, P less than 0-001), whereas the antihypertensive effect of the S200 and C100 regimens was independent of this variable.
