Abstract
We have documented the presence of intermediate filaments (IF) in cultured erythrophores of the squirrelfish Holocentrus ascensionus (Rufus). SDS-PAGE and Western blots with monoclonal antibodies T11 and R12 demonstrated that isolated IF consisted of a pair of polypeptides of 54 and 52 kDa. Immunofluorescent studies revealed that the two proteins formed prominent radially oriented IF networks in erythrophores. Immunoelectron microscopic studies showed that the IF were distributed in a "spider-web"-like network of filaments which occasionally intersected with the microtubule surfaces. The IF proteins also were found in fish iridiphores but not in fish epithelial cells which cocultured with the chromatophores.

Abstract
A series of 104 patients with limited small cell lung carcinoma was treated by combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy from August 1975 to July 1981. 104 patients were divided into three groups: prophylactic irradiation to supraclavicular areas (14 patients), non-prophylactic group (72 patients), non-prophylactic irradiation with positive supraclavicular lymph node metastasis after the treatment (18 patients). The 5 year survival rates of the three groups were 14%, 6% and 0%. Distant metastasis rates after the treatment were 36%, 52% and 61%, respectively. The supraclavicular lymph node metastasis rate after the treatment was higher in patients with intra-thoracic lymph node metastasis before the treatment (25%) than in those without this metastasis (0%). It is suggested that, for small cell lung cancer patients, especially with intra-thoracic lymph node metastasis before the treatment, prophylactic irradiation to the supraclavicular areas be valuable.

Abstract
Immunofluorescent studies in human prostatic carcinoma cells (DU 145) and cultured squirrel fish epithelial cells (a non-cancer cell) revealed that estramustine, a conjugate of estradiol and nor-nitrogen mustard, possessed microtubule disassembly properties. Sixty microM estramustine produced disassembly at both the proximal and distal ends of microtubules, producing short pieces of less than 2 microM which were "wavy" and oriented in a random manner. With increased time of drug exposure these short microtubules disappeared, to be accompanied by a gradual disassembly of a small population of longer microtubules (greater than 7-8 microM). In dividing DU 145 cells it was possible to show a different degree of sensitivity of specific microtubule-containing cellular structures. In mitotic figures the asters were most sensitive and disappeared completely following exposure to estramustine. These were followed by the "pole-to-pole" and "chromosomal" fibers. In cytokinesis, the intercellular fibers between daughter cells were comparatively resistant to the drug. Estramustine did not induce disassembly of the vimentin filaments in non-dividing or dividing cells but did cause their collapse around the nucleus or the mitotic apparatus. These data suggest that specific microtubules have differing sensitivity to estramustine.

Abstract
A method of ELISA diagnosis of tertian malaria based on detecting Plasmodium vivax antigen in red blood cells (RBC) was developed, using 0.16 ml of packed, washed, and sonicated RBC. 68 blood samples from tertian malaria cases were examined; 67 (98.5%) were positive. 104 normal persons were all negative by this test. The lowest parasite number detected was 3 parasites/10(5) RBC on a thin film, or 1-2 parasites per thick film of usual size.

Abstract
We have re-examined the involvement of microtubules in the process of pigment granule transport in squirrelfish erythrophores in situ (i.e. on scales). Light-microscopic studies revealed that following exposure to 5 microM-nocodazole for 1 h at 4 degrees C erythrophores retained an ability to aggregate and disperse their pigment uniformly, though at reduced rates. Serial thick-section stereo high-voltage electron-microscopic studies showed that the entire microtubule population was removed by drug treatment and that the microtubules were not reassembled as a result of pigment translocation processes in the presence of reduced levels of nocodazole (0.4 microM). Immunofluorescence microscopic studies confirmed that nocodazole (0.5-1 microM) produced rapid disassembly of the microtubules. Whole-mount electron-microscopic studies showed that the pigment granules were suspended in a cross-linking network of 3–10 nm filaments, which appeared to support ordered pigment transport in situ in the absence of microtubules. Drug inhibition studies showed that micromolar levels of estramustine, a novel anti-MAPs (microtubule-associated proteins) drug, reversibly inhibited pigment transport. The results suggest that an estramustine-sensitive cytomatrix component might produce polarized pigment transport in intact erythrophores.

Abstract
Markov models with discrete states, such as closed in equilibrium with closed in equilibrium with open have been widely used to model the kinetics of ion channels in the cell membrane. In these models the transition probabilities per unit time (the kinetic rate constants) are independent of the time scale on which they are measured. However, in many physical systems, a property, L, depends on the scale, epsilon, at which it is measured such that L(epsilon) alpha epsilon 1-D where D is the fractal dimension. Such systems are said to be 'fractal'. Based on the assumption that the kinetic rates are given by k(t) alpha t1-D we derive a fractal model of ion-channel kinetics. This fractal model has fewer adjustable parameters, is more consistent with the dynamics of protein conformations, and fits the single-channel recordings from the corneal endothelium better than the discrete-state Markov model.

Abstract
From May 1973 to March 1979, a prospective randomized clinical trial on 425 patients with esophageal cancer was conducted. 194 patients were allotted into the destagnation plus radiotherapy group, the other 231 into radiotherapy only group. The result shows that the combination of destagnation and radiotherapy does not give a result superior to radiotherapy alone. However, destagnation does not increase either hematogenous, lymphatic metastasis, perforation or hemorrhea of the esophageal cancer.

Abstract
From January 1, 1978 to December 31, 1983, 570 patients with carcinoma of esophagus were treated by 8 MV X-ray and checked by the Philips simulator. In order to assess their value, a series of 3,798 patients reported previously was used for comparison. To further evaluate the effect of 8 MV X-ray and simulator separately, a series of 154 patients was treatment by non-8 MV X-ray during the same period. The results showed that the 1 and 3 year survival rates of 8 MV X-ray series were better than the 3,798 series (P less than 0.01). It means that after the use of simulator and 8 MV X-ray the survival rates were improved. As compared to the radiation other than 8 MV X-ray, there was no difference between 8 MV X-ray and non-8 MV X-ray series, which means that the improvement may have been due to the better localization by the simulator. Having more importance, no radiation myelitis was found after the use of simulator. The sex, age, length, location, X-ray type, NSD and causes of failure were compared in these groups.

Abstract
From 1960 to 1980, 45 patients with superior sulcus cancer of the lung were seen in our hospital. 39 were male and 6 were female. The youngest was 28 years old and the eldest was 75. The presenting symptoms and signs were back and shoulder pain in 32 patients, compression of the brachial plexus in 17, Horner's syndrome in 12, supraclavicular mass in 11, superior cava vena obstruction in 4, shadow in the apex in 45, destruction of the rib in 19 (10 in the second rib), destruction of the adjacent vertebra in 8 (5 in T3) and destruction of the clavicle in 1. In 18 patients proved by pathology and cytology, 8 were adenocarcinoma, 3 squamous cell carcinoma, 3 undifferentiated and 4 unclassified carcinoma. 27 patients were diagnosed by X-ray films. 40 patients were admitted for treatment. 3 recieved chemotherapy alone and all of them died in one year. Of the 6 treated by radiation plus chemotherapy, 3 survived for one year but all died in two years. 2 were treated by radiation plus operation and none survived for more than 3 years. 29 were treated by radiation only. The 1, 3 and 5 year survival rates were 51%, 13.7% and 6.9%. Destruction of the rib or the adjacent vertebral body was irrelative to the prognosis but the presence of supraclavicular mass reduced the survival rate. Cause of death was local recurrence in 48% (13/27) and distant metastasis in 48% (13/27). The authors suggest that radical en bloc resection together with radiation the worth further study.

Abstract
We have reported a case of occult, diffuse gastric cancer in a young adult with progressive shortness of breath and bilateral pulmonary interstitial infiltrates. Progressive shortness of breath may be the first or only manifestation of occult gastric cancer caused by either lymphangitic carcinomatosis or microscopic tumor emboli to the lungs. Widespread recognition of this syndrome, a high index of suspicion, and prompt lung biopsy are necessary to make the correct diagnosis. With progress in chemotherapy for malignant diseases, early diagnosis and specific treatment may improve the prognosis of this condition.

Abstract
The effect of chronic uremia on activities of cerebral dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR) and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and content of norepinephrine and dopamine was investigated in the male Sprague-Dawley rats. The uremic animals were fed diets containing either 8% or 18% casein ad libitum, and sham-operated pair-fed and ad libitum fed animals were used as controls. There were no significant differences in TH activity between the groups fed the two levels of protein. Uremic rats had lower activity of TH than pair-fed controls, and pair-fed controls had lower activity than ad libitum-fed animals. DHPR activity and norepinephrine and dopamine content did not differ among the groups. Our study suggests that the chronic uremic condition or restricted feeding causes a decrease in brain TH activity which is not mediated by decreased DHPR activity. Further, this decreased enzyme activity does not result in depressed catecholamine content, indicating the presence of a highly regulated mechanism controlling catecholamine levels.

Abstract
Autonomic lability during ethanol withdrawal in chlormethiazole-medicated and unmedicated groups was investigated using electrodermal measures. Vulnerability to Pavlovian aversive conditioning was also assessed. Ethanol withdrawal was associated with increased autonomic arousal and aversive conditioning, suggesting an increased risk of phobia acquisition. Chlormethiazole administered during ethanol withdrawal may protect against such developments.

Abstract
Light microscopic studies have indicated that most microtubule-directed transport is either saltatory or resolute in nature. The latter form of transport is an intriguing phenomenon, because it commonly involves the unidirectional bulk motion of an organelle(s) such as chromosomes in dividing cells or pigment granules in chromatophores. We have investigated the ultrastructural and biochemical basis for the resolute transport of pigment in chromatophores. Light and EM studies of erythrophores in situ have clearly shown that when the microtubules were completely removed with nocodazole, resolute transport continued and was stimulated by aggregating and dispersing agents. Light and electron microscopic studies of cultured erythrophores permeabilized with digitonin indicated that resolute motion was produced by a cytomatrix of 3 to 7 nm filaments. Immunofluorescent analysis with several monoclonal antibodies raised against MAP-2 further demonstrated that MAP-2 was an important component of the contractile cytomatrix that powers pigment aggregation and dispersion. We conclude that a microtubule-associated cytomatrix normally produces resolute pigment transport in chromatophores.

Abstract
We present evidence for the hypothesis that in multicellular structures of Dictyostelium, production of adenosine by hydrolysis of cAMP near the tip region prevents both generation of competing tips and differentiation of prespore cells near the tip, and thus establishes a "prestalk" region. We demonstrate that adenosine affects the immunological prespore specific staining pattern in slugs in a manner opposite to cAMP:cAMP induces an increase of prespore antigen; adenosine induces a decrease. When endogenous adenosine is removed from slugs, prespore vacuoles are synthesized throughout the prestalk region. Adenosine was found to inhibit the induction of prespore differentiation by cAMP in an apparently competitive manner. It was also found that adenosine specifically increased the amount of tissue controlled by one tip, probably by inhibiting generation of competing oscillators. Removing endogenous adenosine from slugs resulted in a decrease of tip dominance.

Abstract
Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate (PDBu) increased the production of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) in the superior cervical ganglion of the rat. This effect occurred without a detectable lag and persisted for at least 90 min of incubation. The action of PDBu was half-maximal at a concentration of approximately 0.1 microM; at high concentrations, PDBu produced about a twofold increase in DOPA accumulation. PDBu increased DOPA production in decentralized ganglia and in ganglia incubated in a Ca2+-free medium. The action of PDBu was additive with the actions of dimethylphenylpiperazinium, muscarine, and 8-Br-cyclic AMP, all of which also increase DOPA accumulation, and was not inhibited by the cholinergic antagonists hexamethonium (3 mM) and atropine (6 microM). Finally, PDBu did not increase the content of cyclic AMP in the ganglion. Thus, the action of PDBu does not appear to be mediated by the release of neurotransmitters from preganglionic nerve terminals, by the stimulation of cholinergic receptors in the ganglion, or by an increase in ganglionic cyclic AMP. PDBu also increased the incorporation of 32Pi into tyrosine hydroxylase. PDBu activates protein kinase C, which in turn may phosphorylate tyrosine hydroxylase and increase the rate of DOPA synthesis in the ganglion.

Abstract
Female A/J mice were maintained on NIH-07 diet or on NIH-07 diet containing butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA, a mixture of 2- and 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole), 5 mg/g, for 1 week prior to and during 10 weeks of treatment with N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) or N-nitrosopyrrolidine (NPYR), administered in the drinking water. Twenty weeks after nitrosamine treatment ended, mice were sacrificed and lung adenomas were counted. BHA inhibited NDMA tumorigenesis but enhanced NPYR tumorigenesis. Treatment of A/J mice for three weeks with BHA (5 mg/g) added to semisynthetic diet increased whole lung microsomal alpha-hydroxylation of NDMA and NPYR, as measured by aldehyde production, and increased lung and hepatic glutathione-S-transferase activities. No evidence was found for formation of S-methylglutathione in incubations with NDMA and hepatic supernatants obtained from BHA treated or control mice. Four h after gavage of NDMA, levels of 7-methylguanine in the lung DNA of mice treated with BHA were higher than in the lung DNA of control mice, but levels of O6-methylguanine in the two groups were the same. The results of this study indicate that BHA treatment increases the microsomal metabolic alpha hydroxylation of both NDMA and NPYR, but has differential effects on their tumorigenic activities.

Rectal varices are not hemorrhoids and they are dilated submucosal veins connecting the middle and inferior hemorrhoidal veins. These rectal varices may occur in patients with portal hypertension because of the formation of portosystemic shunts. Like esophageal varices, the rectal varices may also bleed massively. Herein we report a case of such bleeding which was successfully controlled with endoscopic sclerotherapy to the rectal varices.
