Abstract
As part of a continuing investigation, this study was conducted to examine the genotoxic effects of chronic exposure to sodium fluoride (NaF) in drinking water on the frequency of sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) in the bone-marrow cells of male Chinese hamsters. Animals at about 3 weeks of age were randomly assigned to 6 groups, each with at least 3 hamsters, and were maintained on a low fluoride diet (less than 0.2 ppm F) throughout the experiment. At 4 weeks of age, the animals in groups I-V began to receive drinking water containing fluoride at concentrations of 0, 1, 10, 50 and 75 ppm, respectively. Group VI was treated with cyclophosphamide and served as the positive control. The animals were sacrificed at 24 weeks of age by cervical dislocation. The humeri and plasma were analyzed for fluoride content, which was found to increase with the increase in fluoride concentration in drinking water. Slides of chromosomes from bone-marrow cells were prepared and blindly examined for the frequency of SCE. The mean scores of SCE for the hamsters receiving drinking water containing F concentrations up to 75 ppm for 21 weeks ranged from 4.28 to 6.28 per cell, and were not significantly different from those of the negative controls (4.60-5.44/cell). The results indicated that chronic fluoride exposure had no effect on the frequency of SCE in Chinese hamster bone-marrow cells under the conditions of the present investigation.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the genotoxic effects of chronic fluoride exposure on mammalian cells in vivo by use of the mouse bone-marrow micronucleus test and the sperm morphology methodology. Mice of genotype B6C3F1 were obtained at weaning and maintained on a low-fluoride diet (less than 0.2 ppm F) ad libitum throughout the experiment. The animals were randomly assigned to seven groups and given fluoride (as sodium fluoride) in concentrations ranging from 1.0 to 75 ppm in the drinking water. Negative (distilled water) and positive (cyclophosphamide) controls were included. After a 21-week treatment period, the animals were killed by cervical dislocation, and blood was obtained by cardiac puncture. Slides of femur marrow cells were prepared and blindly examined for the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MN-PCE). Slides of sperm from the cauda epididymides of the male mice were also prepared and similarly examined for morphological abnormalities. Weight of the testes was recorded, and the plasma, humeri, testes, and carcasses were saved for fluoride analyses. Analyses of bone and plasma fluoride confirmed the effective absorption of fluoride following ingestion. The frequency of MN-PCE, the count of abnormal sperm, and the weight of the testes for mice chronically exposed to fluoride, in doses ranging from approximately 0.3 to 23 mg/kg/day, were not significantly different from those of the negative control animals. The results of this study support the view that fluoride has no genotoxic effects.

Abstract
The influence of the extracellular matrix (ECM) on differential gene expression during sea urchin development was explored using cell-type-specific cDNA probes. The ECM of three species of sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, Lytechinus variegatus and Lytechinus pictus, was disrupted with the lathrytic agent beta-aminopropionitrile (BAPN), which inhibits collagen deposition in the ECM and arrests gastrulation (Wessel & McClay, Devl Biol. 121: 149, 1987). The levels of several mRNAs (Spec 1, Spec 2, CyIIa actin, CyIIIa actin and collagen in S. purpuratus, and metallothionine, ubiquitin and LpS3 in L. pictus and L. variegatus) were compared in BAPN-treated and control embryos. These mRNAs accumulated normally during BAPN treatment, even though the embryos did not gastrulate. To determine if the expression of any gene product is sensitive to ECM disruption, a differential cDNA screen compared poly (A+) RNA from BAPN-arrested and control embryos in Lytechinus. A cDNA clone was isolated from this screen that represented a 2.1 kb mRNA that did not accumulate during BAPN treatment. Removal of BAPN resulted in the accumulation of this transcript coincident with the onset of gastrulation. This cDNA clone encodes a L. variegatus homologue of LpS1, recently demonstrated to be an ancestral homologue of the aboral ectoderm-specific Spec 1-Spec 2 gene family in S. purpuratus. Nuclear run-on assays in L. pictus suggested that transcriptional activity of LpS1 was selectively inhibited by BAPN treatment. Thus, although the accumulation of many gene products occurred independently of the embryonic collagenous matrix, the accumulation of LpS1 and LvS1 appeared to be mediated by the ECM.

Abstract
The effects of acute or repeated administration of haloperidol on release of dopamine (DA) and homovanillic acid (HVA) from striata of awake rats were studied using a microdialysis probe. A single injection of haloperidol (1 mg/kg, i.p.) produced a time-dependent increase in DA and HVA in the perfusate. Comparative studies in rats anesthetized with 300 mg/kg of chloral hydrate given i.p. found that anesthesia decreased the basal release of DA, but not HVA, and significantly blocked haloperidol-induced increases in DA, while haloperidol-induced increases in HVA were not affected. Studies done in awake rats found that 21 repeated daily injections of haloperidol increased the basal release of DA, but not HVA. Subsequent challenge with haloperidol indicated a significant decrease in responsiveness to haloperidol-induced release of DA, but not HVA, in chronically dosed rats. These data suggest that repeated exposure to haloperidol causes a compensatory increase in extracellular DA release. That these compensatory changes may be associated with the increased therapeutic efficacy or extrapyramidal side effects of neuroleptics following repeated dosing warrants further study.

Abstract
Two unusual cases with coronary artery fistula were reported. The diagnoses were first made by color Doppler flow imaging and confirmed by selective coronary angiography and operation. In the first case, color Doppler revealed a continuous flow signal within the dilated left coronary artery and a turbulent jet within the right atrium. In the second case, color Doppler showed turbulent flow signals which could be traced from the proximal left coronary artery, along the left ventricular posterior wall and into the left ventricle. The high velocities at the site of drainage of fistula were recorded by the continuous-wave Doppler and the calculated pressure gradient confirmed that the abnormal flow was from the systemic circulation. We are of the opinion that color Doppler flow imaging is a reliable technique for detecting coronary artery fistula and the combination of color Doppler with continuous-wave Doppler is essential for evaluating the hemodynamics of the shunt flow.

Abstract
"The economic law of population distribution and migration has been studied chiefly based on the Chinese situation. The distribution and development of productive forces decide the distribution and migration of population, and in turn, the latter influences the former. The population distributions in three different stages of social development, namely agricultural, industrial and information society, are described. A new concept in population economics is introduced, i.e. population economic density, which is different from the concept of population density. The formula of population economic density is P(population)/R(resources). Many kinds of migration are analysed, and it is believed that the main efficient cause of migration is economy."

Abstract
Rice is one of the most important crops in the world with 35% of the total population (over two billion people) depending on it as their source of food. It is therefore essential to develop efficient methods for the transformation and regeneration of rice plants in order to delineate the exact regulatory sequences responsible for gene expression and to transfer beneficial genes into this plant. Here, for the first time, we present definitive evidence for the regeneration of a large number of transgenic rice plants after introduction of the bacterial β-glucuronidase gene into rice protoplasts. The presence of integrated copies of this gene was detected in the genome of transgenic plants by DNA hybridization analysis. Furthermore, under the control of regulatory regions from a maize alcohol dehydrogenase sequence, β-glucuronidase gene expression was detected in the roots of transgenic plants. This expression was stimulated up to six fold under anaerobic conditions.

Abstract
ras proteins are localized to the plasma membrane where they are postulated to interact with growth factor receptors and other proximal elements in intracellular cascades triggered by growth factors. The molecular events associated with terminal differentiation of certain skeletal myoblasts are inhibited by specific polypeptide growth factors and by constitutive expression of transforming ras oncogenes. To determine whether the inhibitory effects of ras on myogenic differentiation were reversible and to investigate whether muscle-specific genes remained susceptible to ras-dependent repression in terminally differentiated myotubes, the murine myoblast cell line, C2, was transfected with a plasmid containing a mutationally activated human N-ras oncogene under transcriptional control of the steroid-sensitive promoter of the mouse mammary tumor virus long terminal repeat. Addition of dexamethasone to myoblasts bearing steroid-inducible ras oncogenes prevented myotube formation and induction of muscle creatine kinase and acetylcholine receptors. Inhibition of differentiation by dexamethasone occurred in a dose-dependent manner and was a titratable function of ras expression. In the presence of dexamethasone, myoblasts bearing steroid-inducible ras genes retained their dependence on exogenous growth factors to divide and exhibited contact inhibition of growth at confluent densities, indicating that the inhibitory effects of ras on differentiation were independent of cell proliferation. Removal of dexamethasone from N-ras-transfected myoblasts led to fusion and induction of muscle-specific gene products in a manner indistinguishable from control C2 cells. Examination of the effects of culture media conditioned by ras-transfected myoblasts on differentiation of normal C2 cells yielded no evidence for inhibition of differentiation via an autocrine mechanism. In contrast to the ability of N-ras to prevent up-regulation of muscle-specific gene products in myoblasts, induction of N-ras in terminally differentiated myotubes failed to extinguish muscle-specific gene expression. Together, these results suggest that oncogenic ras proteins reversibly activate an intracellular cascade that prevents establishment of the differentiated phenotype. The inability of ras to extinguish muscle-specific gene expression in terminally differentiated myotubes also suggests that ras may interfere with an early step in the pathway of myoblasts toward the differentiated state.

Abstract
The effect of sodium fluoride (NaF) on superoxide generation and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in human neutrophils and monocytes was investigated. NaF (greater than 10 mM) stimulated superoxide (O2-) production in both cell types in a time dependent manner. NaF (0.5 to 20 mM) increased cAMP levels by 1.5- to 3.-fold in both neutrophils and monocytes. Increases in cAMP levels were time-dependent; the maximal level was attained within 5 minutes after the addition of NaF, and cAMP levels remained elevated for up to 10 minutes. Only high concentrations of NaF (10 and 20 mM) increased both cAMP levels and O2- production. Therefore, a direct role of cAMP in O2- generation is not likely. It is speculated that since NaF (greater than 10 mM) can complex with extracellular Ca++, and thus reduce free Ca++ concentration required for O2- generation, a NaF-dependent increase in cAMP may restore cytosolic free Ca++ by mobilizing intracellular stores of Ca++. Further, in view of the proposed involvement of a phosphorylation-dephosphorylation mechanism in the regulation of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase, we speculate that NaF, by inhibiting phosphoprotein phosphatase activity, may indirectly activate the NADPH oxidase system and thus superoxide generation.
