Abstract
Oral glucose tolerance tests ( GTTs ) were performed on 15 fullterm (Group I), 12 preterm low birth weight (Group II) and 16 preterm very low birth weight (Group III) infants who were clinically stable. GTT was done on the third postnatal day in Groups I & II and serially at different postnatal ages in Group III (days 3, 7, 14, 21 & 28). After 4 hours of fasting capillary blood samples were collected for plasma glucose estimation at fasting and for a 3-hour period following oral intake of 1.75 gm/kg of glucose. Mean plasma glucose levels were comparable in Groups I & II at all stages. Group III infants had lower mean plasma glucose which increased with postnatal age. Significantly higher values were observed as late as 150 minutes in days 3, 7 & 14 groups compared with days 21 and 28 of Group III. Our data suggest that larger and more mature preterm low birth weight infants (greater than or equal to 1501 gm and greater than or equal to 34 weeks' gestation) were capable of handling glucose as efficiently as term infants. Preterm very low birth weight infants (less than or equal to 1500 gm and less than or equal to 33 weeks' gestation) exhibited impaired glucose tolerance during the first two weeks of life.

Abstract
The case is described of a low birth weight infant who developed severe neutropenia, thrombocytopenia and monocytosis in the course of staphylococcal septicemia. Light microscopy examination of the blood revealed bacteria inside the monocytes. On electron microscopy, the monocytes were degranulated and distorted by the presence of large vacuoles containing bacteria. While most of the bacteria were intact, some showed capsular dissolution suggesting the effect of lysosomes. Rarely, the bacteria were also noted within the polymorphonuclear leukocytes and platelets. Based on the finding of electron microscopy in this case, the phagocytic function of the monocytes, neutrophils and possibly the platelets was intact. In view of the fatal outcome, despite the previous findings, it is suggested that granulocyte transfusion be considered in low birth weight infants with persistent sepsis.

Abstract
Nodal explants of submerged shoots ofLimnophila indica (L.) Druce were cultured in Nitsch's liquid medium containing abscisic acid (ABA, 10(-9)-10(-6) M). At 10(-7) and 10(-6) M, ABA induced typical aerial leaves (entire, ovate, opposite-decussately arranged) even under submerged conditions and completely suppressed the development of water leaves (pinnately dissected and whorled). Flowers that invariably arise from aerial shoots were induced precociously by ABA even on submerged nodes.

Abstract
The relation of coronary artery disease to plasma lipoproteins was examined in 104 men aged 35-65 years undergoing coronary angiography for suspected myocardial ischaemia. A score reflecting the number, degree, and length of stenoses in seven major coronary arteries was assigned to each angiogram. Lipid concentrations in lipoprotein subfractions were measured after preparative ultracentrifugation; plasma apolipoprotein concentrations were measured by electroimmunoassay. Men with high coronary scores tended to have lower plasma high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations and higher low-density lipoprotein (density 1.019-1.063 g/ml) cholesterol concentrations than subjects of similar age with low coronary scores (p approximately equal to 0.1). The strongest relation, however, was with the cholesterol concentration in the HDL2 subfraction (density 1.063-1.125 g/ml) of HDL, which averaged 44% lower in the severely affected patients (p less than 0.005). No associations were found between the coronary score and HDL3 cholesterol, the cholesterol content of lipoproteins of density less than 1.019 g/ml, plasma triglyceride, or the concentrations of apolipoproteins AI, AII, and E. The high coronary scores associated with low HDL2 concentrations reflected an increase in the number of both partial and complete stenoses distributed throughout the coronary tree. In contrast the sizes of the lesions and the proportion producing complete occlusion were unrelated to HDL2.

Abstract
Indirect immunofluorescence staining in two thymomas, one case of thymic hyperplasia, 10 malignant lymphomas and three seminomas was done with an antibody prepared against keratins from human epidermis. Staining was observed only in the epithelial cells of the thymomas and thymic hyperplasia and correlated well with electron microscopic studies. Immunofluorescence staining of thymic tumors with antikeratin antibody provides a simple, specific, and sensitive method for distinguishing thymoma from lymphoma and seminoma. The method may also prove to be useful in other instances in the distinction between epithelial and nonepithelial tumors.

Abstract
Since Apoprotein A-I (apo A-I) is partially synthesized in the intestine and is secreted into plasma via chylomicrons, we have tested the effects of the daily distribution of fat intake on the concentration and composition of plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL). Ten normal subjects ingested 136 g fat either as a single load (SL) at 0 h or in 6 divided doses from 0 to 10 h (DL). Serial blood samples were obtained over a 24-h period. Studies were performed 7 days apart using a double crossover design and paired comparisons. HDL apo A-I increased during DL (+11% at 9 h, P < 0.01) but was not significantly altered after SL. The HDL Apo A-II concentration did not change. HDL cholesterol decreased significantly (-4 to -7%) during postprandial lipaemia in both phases of the study. Apo A-I and A-II were detected in lipoproteins of d < 1.006 during alimentary lipaemia but not in fasting plasma. These results indicate that HDL apo A-I increases when fat intake is distributed throughout the day (DL), perhaps due to intestinal production of particles with a higher protein/lipid ratio during DL than after a large bolus of oral lipid (SL). Alimentary lipaemia is associated with acute alterations in HDL components including a transient reduction in HDL cholesterol and an increase in the apo A-I/A-II ratio during DL.

Abstract
Does cerebellar retraction during operations in the posterior fossa contribute to increased morbidity and mortality, and if so, what are the critical factors involved? In order to answer these questions, graded retractor pressures of 10, 20, and 30 mm Hg were applied for one hour to the cerebellar hemispheres of dogs in the sitting position. It was noted that the amount of mechanical pressure and the difference between systemic perfusion pressure and retractor pressure were important determinants of the outcome. The mechanism of damage from retractor pressure is discussed.

Abstract
A ganglioneuroblastoma developed in a 35-month-old boy with both the fetal hydantoin and fetal alcohol syndromes. Our case, plus two recent reports in the literature, would very likely establish the relationship between fetal hydantoin syndrome and the development of neural crest tumors. Infants exposed in utero to hydantoins should be closely observed for the development of these tumors.

Abstract
An 11-month-old boy had an episode of generalized convulsions followed by a right peripheral facial palsy, which resolved gradually within 3 weeks. Three months later he had another similar episode of convulsions followed by a left peripheral facial palsy. On both occasions it was found that he had polycythaemia. A careful physical examination discovered that the child had severe hypertension. Extensive laboratory investigations did not reveal a cause for his hypertension. Haematologic investigations showed that the polycythaemia was due to a contracted plasma volume as a result of the hypertension. The peripheral facial palsy most probably was due to a blood clot in the facial canal, below the origin of the nerve to m. stapedius, as audiograms were normal and lacrimation preserved. Control of the hypertension resulted in resolution of the facial palsy within 4 weeks and normal haematocrit readings within 6 weeks. It should be stressed that every patient with peripheral facial palsy should be examined for hypertension.

Abstract
The effect of Warfarin (W) was compared with a combination of Warfarin and Dipyridamole (W+D) on the incidence of arterial thrombo-embolism in patients with prosthetic heart valves in a prospective randomised study. Sixty-four and 53 patients were allocated to W and W+D. The two groups were comparable as regards age, sex, arrhythmias and site and type of valves. The dose of W was determined by regular monitoring of prothrombin ratio 0.9 - 3) and that of D by monitoring serum D levels to between 2 and 4 μmol/l. The mean period of follow-up was 26.98 months (range 1 to 36) for W and 22.02 months (range 1 to 36) for W+D. Six patients in W and 1 in W+D developed arterial thrombo-embolic episodes giving an incidence of 0.0035 per patient month for W and 0.0009 per patient month for W+D. An actuarial analysis of the yearly incidence of thrombo-embolism confirmed the superiority of W+D over W. Of the 6 failures in W, 5 were in sinus rhythm and 1 in atrial fibrillation and all had cerebral embolic episodes. The failure in W+D was a patient in atrial fibrillation who died suddenly 6 weeks after surgery and the post-mortem showed clots on both mitral and aortic prostheses.

Abstract
To evaluate the importance of time, temperature, and cardioplegia on the ability of the canine myocardium to maintain functional and ultrastructural integrity following induced arrest, we studied 220 dogs by varying myocardial temperature (34 degrees, 24 degrees, and 11 degrees C.), arrest time (0 to 120 minutes), and cardioplegic agents. Change in left ventricular function (LVF) was defined as the arithmetic difference in the center of mass between prearrest and postarrest LVF curves and was expressed as percent recovery of left ventricular stroke work. Left ventricular biopsies were obtained for semiquantitative electron microscopic analysis. After 90 minutes of cross-clamping, only hearts protected with combined hypothermia (H) and potassium-induced cardioplegia (K) significantly recovered prearrest function (24 degrees C.--80 percent, 11 degrees C.--99 percent). Hypothermia (H) alone for 90 minutes was less protective (24 degrees C.--49 percent, 11 degrees C.--59 percent). H preserved 84 percent of function after 60 minutes and 91 percent after 45 minutes. Normothermic arrest resulted in only 39 percent return of function at 45 minutes but could be extended with potassium-induced cardioplegia(K) to 78 percent at 60 minutes and 54 percent at 90 minutes. The addition of procaine plus HK improved protection over HK alone (95 percent versus 80 percent) but by itself was not effective. Neither hydrocortisone nor pretreatment with glucose-insulin-potassium, branched chain amino acids, or propranolol increased the protective effect of HK plus procaine. Inadequately protected groups (normothermia or H without K) showed more myocytic and capillary endothelial damage than the HK groups. No technique of myocardial protection studied completely preserved LVF, but the combination of HK plus procaine resulted in maximal recovery of LVF following cross-clamping for up to 120 minutes.

Abstract
The response patterns of plasma cortisol and plasma free cortisol have been studied in 20 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery involving the use of heart-lung bypass. Sixteen consecutive patients undergoing closed mitral valvotomy have been used as controls. Total plasma cortisol levels fell at the onset of extracorporeal circulation (ECC) and did not rise significantly throughout the period of ECC. The peak cortisol level in the bypass patients occurred at 24 hours postoperatively with elevated levels still present at 48 hours. This pattern was significantly different from the control patients (P less than 0.001) who exhibited the typical cortisol stress response pattern. Synthetic ACTH stimulation of the adrenal cortex during heart-lung bypass produced a positive response (i.e., a rise in plasma cortisol greater than 7.5 mug/100 ml) in all six patients studied while the six mitral valvotomy patients had no response to synthetic ACTH administration during operation (P less than 0.01). Plasma free cortisol estimations indicate that a rapid and significant rise in % free cortisol occurred at the onset of ECC, but that despite the rise in percentage free, the overall plasma free cortisol concentration (i.e., total plasma cortisol X % free) was significantly lower during ECC in the bypass patients when compared with control (P less than 0.01). Twenty-four hours postoperatively these concentrations were significantly higher in the bypass patients (P less than 0.001).

Abstract
The effects of long-term administration of nafenopin, a potent hypolipidemic drug with marked hepatomegalic and peroxisome-proliferative properties, were studied in wild-type (Csa strain) and acatalasemic (Csb strain) mice. Nafenopin was administered in the diet at a concentration of 0.1% during the first 12 months and then at 0.05% until the termination of the experiment at 20 months. By 56 weeks, 100% mortality occurred in both male and female wild-type mice, whereas the mortality rate in acatalasemic mice was approximately 50%. Between 18 and 20 months of the experiment, 9 of 9 male and 12 of 12 female acatalasemic mice that survived chronic nafenopin treatment developed hepatocellular carcinomas, some of which metastasized to the lungs. None of the 15 male and 15 female acatalasemic controls developed liver cancers. Numerous peroxisomes were seen in the lung metastases of these hepatocellular carcinomas on electron microscopic examination; in contrast the number of peroxisomes in primary liver tumor cells varied considerably. The hepatocarcinogenicity of nafenopin strongly suggests the need for long-term studies with other hypolipidemic drugs that cause hepatomegaly and peroxisome proliferation to clarify the role, if any, of peroxisome proliferation in liver carcinogenesis.

Abstract
An unusual defect was noted in a 10-year-old girl near the usual site of administration for an inferior nerve block. It was interpreted to be the result of a local anesthetic having been administered 2 months previously.

Abstract
Tween 80, which caused increased biomass formation, also produced the highest increase in the uptake rate of all components of the medium. The fatty acid components of the respective Tweens, i.e. palmitic acid (Tween 40), stearic acid (Tween 60), and oleic acid (Tween 80), have no effect either on alkaloid production or on substrate uptake. The fatty acid composition was different in the cell membrane of the culture supplemented with Tween 60 and facilitated the transport of metabolites into the cells.

Abstract
Postangiocardiographic screening of infants and children with congenital heart disease for silent anomalies of the urinary tract yielded an incidence of 7.7 percent in 260 so studied. The incidence was 29 percent in 21 babies who came to autopsy and had been studied at catheterization but without this screening. Patients with atrial septal defect had the highest incidence of urinary tract anomalies, while those with ventricular septal defect and tetralogy had an average incidence. Some of the lesions discovered were potentially significant even though silent. They were found with sufficient frequency to warrant routine use of this screening technique at cardiac catheterization.

Abstract
Ocular changes in a rare case of epidermolysis bullosa letalis included edema of the trabecular meshwork, ciliary body, lens, optic nerve, and formation of edema cysts in the iris. The retinal was completely detached and focally necrotic. Foci of necrosis and detachment of the retinal pigment epithelium were also observed with occasional breach in the Bruch's membrane. The choroid showed focal edema and congestion.
