Abstract
Pseudocyst of the auricle is an intracartilaginous collection of serous or serosanguineous fluid resulting in a noninflammatory cystic swelling of the upper ear. The histology is distinctive, consisting of an intracartilaginous cavity due to cartilaginous degeneration and replacement by fibrous tissue. The condition is likely due to ischemic necrosis of auricular cartilage. Inappropriate therapy may result in a permanent deformity of the auricle.

Abstract
The ilvGEDAY genes of Salmonella typhimurium were cloned in Escherichia coli K-12 by in vitro recombination techniques. A single species of recombinant plasmid, designated pDU1, was obtained by selecting for Valr Ampr transformants of strain SK1592. pDU1 was shown to contain a 14-kilobase EcoRI partial digestion product of the S. typhimurium chromosome inserted into the EcoRI site of the pVH2124 cloning vector. The ilvGEDAY genes were found to occupy a maximum length of 7.5 kilobases. Restriction endonuclease analysis of the S. typhimurium ilv gene cluster provided another demonstration of the gene order as well as established the location of ilv Y between ilvA and ilvC. The presence of a ribosomal ribonucleic acid operon on the pDU1 insert, about 3 kilobases from the 5' end of ilvG, was shown by Southern hybridization. The expression of the ilvGEDA operon from pDU1 was found to be elevated, reflecting the increased gene dosage of the multicopy plasmid. A polarity was observed with respect to ilvEDA expression which is discussed in terms of the possible translational effects of the two internal promoter sequences, one located proximal to ilvE and the other located proximal to ilvD.

Abstract
A mutant aspartate transcarbamoylase, ATCase231, has been crystallized at neutral pH. The mutant enzyme has a single substitution of aspartic acid in place of glycine within the catalytic chain and shows not only the loss of enzyme activity but also marked changes in the chemical reactivity of several amino acid residues and weakening of interaction between regulatory and catalytic subunits. Despite these differences, the mutant enzyme crystals have the same space group and cell parameters as the wild type crystals grown at pH 5.9.

Abstract
Papular dermatitis of pregnancy is a condition characterized by widespread intensely pruritic papules that show no particular anatomic predilection. These lesions may occur at any time during the pregnancy and may be associated with increased fetal wastage. The response to corticosteroids is prompt and gratifying to the patient and the physician. Therapeutic doses of prednisone have not been associated with increased fetal loss. The etiology of the condition is unknown and it may recur with subsequent pregnancies.

Abstract
Scombroid fish poisoning, one of the most common adverse reactions to fish, is also probably one of the most common causes of a flushing syndrome. The reaction usually involves fishes of the Scombridae family but, in Hawaii, the reaction is most often due to mahimahi (Coryphaena hippurus). Onset of the reaction is usually abrupt and commonly associated with a prominent flush resembling a sunburn. Headache, tachye to a toxin with histamine-like properties, which is formed because improper refrigeration enables endogenous bacteria to decarboxylate histidine normally present in dark-meat fishes. Symptoms are usually promptly relieved by parenteral antihistamine therapy.

Abstract
Two cases of Kaposi's sarcome that responded to bleomycin therapy are reported herein. The first case, resistant to various treatments, responded remarkably well after 240 mg of bleomycin was administered over a thirteen month period. The second case had rapidly progressive untreated Kaposi's sarcoma of six months's duration; a prompt response was obtained to an initial course of 105 mg of bleomycin.

Abstract
Because the globus pallidus gives rise to the principal efferent system of the corpus striatum and is traversed by several fibers systems, attempts were made to study the projections of its cells by autoradiographic technics. Tritiated amino acids (L-leucine, L-proline and L-lysine) were injected into: (1) the medial pallidal segment (MPS), (2) the MPS and the substantia innominata (SI), (3) portions of the MPS and the lateral pallidal segment (LPS) and (4) parts of the putamen. Cells labeled by injections of the MPS transported isotope to thalamic nuclei (ventral anterior, VApc, ventral lateral, VLo and VLm, and the centromedian, CM), the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), and the lateral habenular nucleus (Hbl). Labeled cells of the MPS and SI transported isotope to: (1) thalamic nuclei (VLo, VLm and CM), (2) PPN, (3) Hbl, (4) lateral and posterior regions of the hypothalamus, and (5) extensive dorsal regions of the substantia migra (SN). Comparisons of label transported from uptake of isotope by cells of the MPS, and cells of both pallidal segments, suggest that the LPS projects fibers only to the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Not all regions of the STN appear to receive fibers from the LPS. Selectively labeled neurons of the putamen transport isotope to broad regions of both pallidal segments and to the pars reticulata of the SN. This study suggests that cells of the MPS project profusely and topographically to: (1) the rostral ventral tier thalamic nuclei (VApc, VLo and VLm), (2) lateral portions of CM, and (3) the PPN. Fibers of the lenticular fasciculus appear to terminate preferentially in VLo. Cells in sublenticular portions of SI, and those extending into the medullary laminae of the pallidum, appear to project to: (1) HB1 via the stria medullaris, (2) the pars compacta of SN, (3) lateral and posterior regions of the hypothalamus, and (4) the so-called nucleus of the ansa lenticularis. Some fibers from cells of SI appear to join the dorsal stria terminalis, but none enter the inferior thalamic peduncle and none project to any part of the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus.

Abstract
In spite of repeated demonstrations by degeneration technics, nigrothalamic fibers have been regarded with some skepticism. Attempts were made to trace nigral efferent projections in the monkey by autoradiographic technics. Tritiated amino acids (L-leucine, L-lysine and L-proline), injected into portions of the substantia nigra (SN), labeled cells in four regions, designated as, (1) rostrolateral, (2) caudolateral, (3) rostromedial and (4) central. Rostrolateral nigral neurons transported radioactive label preferentially and abundantly to thalamic nuclei; localized isotope was found in parts of three thalamic nuclei, the medial part of the ventral lateral nucleus (VLm), the magnocellular part of the ventral anterior nucleus (VAmc), and the paralaminar part of the dorsomedial nucleus (DMpl)9 Lateral neurons in the caudal half of the SN transmitted radioactive label to the same thalamic nuclei as rostrolateral nigral neuron. Isotope transported to portions of the striatum was modest and localized. Radioactive label taken up by large cells in the caudal third of the SN was transported to portions of the striatum, but not to thalamic nuclei. Labeled nigral neurons in the medial two-thirds of the rostral half of the SN, and in the middle third of the central part of the SN, transported the label mainly to parts of the caudate nucleus and putamen. In these animals modest radioactive label was seen in VLm and VAmc, but not in other thalamic nuclei. There was no evidence that nigral neurons project to the subthalamic nucleus. No radioactive transport from nigral neurons was detected in the superior colliculus, the midbrain tegmentum, or the red nucleus, and none was transported to more caudal brain stem nuclei. Nigrothalamic fibers arise particularly from cells in rostral and lateral parts of the substantia nigra. While some cells in other parts of the nigra project to thalamic nuclei, these appear scattered and less numerous. Large cells in caudal parts of the SN do not project to thalamic nuclei. These observations confirm nigrothalamic projections to VLm and VAmc, and identify a new nigral projection to part of the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus (DMpl). No nigral efferent fibers project to any of the intralaminar thalamic nuclei.

Abstract
Streptomycin-resistant colonies of Salmonella typhimurium appearing in platings of supX suppressors of strain leu-500 are less variegated in size than are those derived from strain leu-500 counterparts. Several of the streptomycin-resistant leu-500 clones, furthermore, yield suppressors and revertants of the leu-500 auxotrophy at unusually low rates, suggesting that they provide a genetic background inimicable to supX suppression. Two such "suppression-restrictive" leu-500 streptomycin-resistant (str) mutants, designated strains M(1) and M(4), were characterized as to their ability to receive the trp-supX-cysB linkage region by transduction. Coentry of a donor supX deletion mutation with the selected trp(+) marker was not observed even though these sites display more than 10% linkage in control experiments. This was demonstrably the result of nonviability of the combined supX mutant, M(1) or M(4) streptomycin-resistant genotype, rather than the lack of suppression of the leu-500 imparted auxotrophy. Both M(1)- and M(4)-type resistance was accompanied by pleiotropic effects resembling those caused by strB (nonribosomal)- rather than strA (ribosomal)-type resistance, but both restrictive mutants had a high upper limit of resistance corresponding to that of strA-type mutants. Transduction analyses indicated that the str character of neither the M(1) nor the M(4) strain was linked to the strA or the strB gene. These mutations define a previously undescribed locus, which we propose to designate strC, apparently related to streptomycin uptake rather than its intracellular action. Mutation at this locus is evidently incompatible with the inactivation or removal of the supX site, suggesting a functional association between products of the genes.

Abstract
A colonial variant of a virulent Shigella flexneri 2a has lost both virulence and glycerol kinase activity. It also has several other altered characteristics: lowered ability to oxidize tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates, increased electrophoretic mobility, and decreased sensitivity to sodium lauryl sulfate. Genetic analysis has revealed that the gene governing glycerol kinase activity in Shigella has a different chromosomal locus than that from Escherichia coli. Furthermore, transduction of the Shigella glycerol kinase gene (glp K) into the avirulent Shigella strain can restore the ability to penetrate HeLa cells, whereas the gene from E. coli cannot. About half of the glp K mutants lose this ability, and only about half of the revertants of an avirulent glp K mutant regain it. This indicates that more than one gene affects glycerol kinase activity in Shigella, only one of which is associated with penetration. Glycerol kinase activity is closely correlated with changes in electrophoretic mobility, but does not appear to have any relationship to sodium lauryl sulfate sensitivity nor to the oxidation of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates.

Abstract
It has been found that a mutation of Shigella flexneri 2a to avirulence can result in altered metabolism of tricarboxylic acid cycle acids, but the effect is strongly dependent on growth conditions. Mutant cells harvested from stationary-phase cultures grown with vigorous shaking in nutrient broth oxidize succinate, fumarate, and malate much more slowly than do wild-type cells. Cell-free extracts from such cells show similar differences in oxidative ability. These differences were less pronounced when cells were harvested from the exponential phase of growth and were nonexistent when the cells were grown without shaking. When tricarboxylic acid cycle acids were used as carbon sources with shaking, mutant cells from exponential phase cultures oxidized tricarboxylic cycle acids almost to the same extent as the wild type. Stationary-phase cells grown on succinate lost succinoxidase activity, but wild-type cells retained more than twice the activity of mutant cells. The effect of growth conditions on oxidative differences between the two strains was similar to the differences in succinate uptake observed under similar conditions.

Abstract
The sensitivity to sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) of Shigella flexneri and Escherichia coli is determined by at least three genes. One site is located near the lactose operon, and two loci are cotransducible with the arabinose operon. Calcium ions protect against SLS lysis. One gene is concerned with the relative ability of the bacterium to retain calcium against such chelating agents as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid or phosphate buffer. This was first observed in a mutation from virulence to avirulence in S. flexneri with a concomitant loss of ability to penetrate the intestinal epithelium. The avirulent strain is far less sensitive to lysis by SLS in the presence of phosphate buffer than its virulent parent. The avirulent strain is also less sensitive to lysozyme and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. E. coli K-12 is much more sensitive to SLS than both of these Shigella strains. An E. coli-S. flexneri hybrid, which is unable to survive well in the gut and thus only produces an abortive infection, has inherited this extreme sensitivity to SLS.
