Abstract
We report a rare case of cardiac tamponade caused by hemopericardium secondary to erosion and rupture of a coronary artery by an adjacent solitary myocardial abscess. The resulting tamponade led to the sudden death of this 46-year-old man. Antemortem blood culture and the postmortem microscopic examination of the myocardial abscess revealed the causative agent to be Staphylococcus aureus. Hemopericardium due to ventricular wall rupture secondary to a myocardial abscess has been infrequently reported, but, to our knowledge, only one other report of hemopericardium due to coronary artery rupture related to myocardial abscess has been published.

Abstract
Pulmonary blastomas and carcinosarcomas are uncommon tumours, accounting for less than 1% of all lung neoplasms. Three previously described mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumours having both adult and embryonal elements were termed 'transitional'. We report a similar case and evaluate the application of the term 'transitional tumour'.

Abstract
"This paper focuses on spatial variation of growth within a state. Using Ohio as a case study, two hypotheses are extracted from the literature. First, the theories of polarization and polarization reversal suggest that in the old industrial core the leading sector role of manufacturing has diminished in old manufacturing poles, and that income growth trends differ substantially between these old poles and new centres of development. Second, the theories of suburbanization and migration reversals suggest that population growth is contingent upon level of urbanization, and that the relationship has changed drastically between the pre-1970s, 1970s, and post-1970s periods."

Abstract
The androgenic steroid hormone testosterone induced an early (less than 30-60 seconds) stimulation of endocytosis, hexose transport, and amino acid transport, monitored by the temperature-sensitive uptake of horseradish peroxidase, 2-deoxyglucose, and alpha-aminoisobutyrate, respectively, in rat ventricle cubes and acutely isolated ventricular myocytes. This stimulation was time- and concentration-dependent and was maximal at 10(-9) to 10(-8) M testosterone, consistent with androgen-receptor mediation. EGTA (2.5 mM), La3+ (1 mM), and verapamil (100 microM) ablated the hormonal response. The calcium ionophore A23187 (10 microM) induced an acute stimulation of endocytosis, amino acid transport, and hexose transport which was not further increased by testosterone (10(-8) M), suggesting a common effector pathway. Testosterone (10(-8) M) also evoked a rapid (less than 30 seconds) stimulation of 45Ca influx and efflux. Testosterone (10(-8) M) induced a rapid (less than 5 seconds) transient increase in ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity peaking (twofold to threefold) at 60 seconds, and an early (15 seconds) transient accumulation of polyamines peaking at 60 seconds in isolated myocytes. The specific, irreversible ODC inhibitor alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO, 5-10 mM) blocked the testosterone-evoked increase in ODC activity and polyamine levels and the stimulation of Ca2+ fluxes, endocytosis, hexose transport, and amino acid transport. Putrescine (0.5-1 mM), the ODC product, reversed DFMO inhibition and restored the increase in polyamines, 45Ca fluxes, and Ca2+-dependent membrane transport processes. These results demonstrate that rapid, transient ODC-regulated polyamine synthesis is essential for androgenic stimulation of Ca2+ fluxes and membrane transport processes in ventricular myocytes. These findings support a model for signal transduction in which newly synthesized polyamines serve as intracellular messengers to regulate transmembrane Ca2+ movements, Ca2+-dependent membrane transport functions, and other Ca2+- and polyamine-sensitive processes in cardiac myocytes.

Abstract
The beta-adrenergic agonist 1-isoproterenol induced an early (less than 1 min) stimulation of endocytosis, amino acid transport and hexose transport, monitored by the temperature-sensitive uptake of horseradish peroxidase, alpha-aminoisobutyrate and 2-deoxyglucose, respectively, in rat ventricle cubes. This stimulation was time- and concentration-dependent and was maximum at 10(-8) M isoproterenol. The beta-adrenergic antagonist propranolol blocked isoproterenol stimulation of membrane transport, thereby confirming beta-adrenoceptor mediation; 2.5 mM EGTA, 1 mM LaCl2 and 100 microM verapamil blocked the hormonal response without affecting basal transport. The calcium ionophore A23187 caused an acute stimulation of endocytosis, hexose and amino acid transport. Isoproterenol rapidly (less than 30 s) stimulated 45Ca2+ influx. These data suggest that stimulus-response (stimulus-"transport") coupling is mediated by a rise in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration. A rapid (less than 30 to 60 s) increase in ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity, followed by an early (less than 1 to 2 min), sustained increase in putrescine, spermidine and spermine concentrations was evoked by 10(-7) M isoproterenol. The ODC inhibitor alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO, 5 mM) suppressed the isoproterenol-induced increase in ODC and polyamine levels and the stimulation of 45Ca influx, endocytosis, hexose transport, and amino acid transport. Putrescine (0.5 mM) negated DFMO inhibition and restored the increase in polyamines, 45Ca influx, endocytosis, and transport of hexose and amino acid. These data suggest that polyamine synthesis is involved in isoproterenol stimulation of Ca2+ influx and membrane transport functions in ventricular myocardium. These findings are consistent with a model for signal transduction and stimulus-response coupling in which polyamines function as intracellular messengers to generate cytosolic Ca2+ signals by stimulating Ca2+ influx.

Abstract
The role of Ca2+ and calmodulin in regulating coupled NaCl transport has been investigated in membrane vesicles from rabbit ileal brush border. Uptake of 22Na+ and 36Cl- was determined by a rapid filtration technique in vesicles isolated with a sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation method. Ca2+ on the inside of the vesicle inhibited Na+ uptake when Cl- was the anion and Cl- uptake when Na+ was the cation by approximately equal to 30%. Ca2+ on the outside had no effect. When gluconate was the anion or when choline was the cation, Na+ or Cl- uptake was reduced by only 9-12%. A similar inhibition of D-[3H]mannitol uptake (10-17%) suggests this was due to a nonspecific decrease in the membrane permeability. Other cations such as Ba2+ and Mg2+ had no effect, but La3+ inhibited Na+ and Cl- uptake to the same degree as Ca2+. Calmodulin (2 microM) in combination with Ca2+ (1 microM, free concentration) significantly inhibited Na+ uptake when Cl- was the anion by 21-32% and Cl- uptake when Na+ was the cation by 20-27%. This effect was completely reversed by 10 microM trifluoperazine. When gluconate was the anion or when choline was the cation, Na+ or Cl- uptake was unaffected by Ca2+/calmodulin and trifluoperazine. The Ki for Ca2+ inhibition of Cl- -coupled Na+ uptake was reduced from 200 microM to 0.2 microM by incubation with 20 microM calmodulin. The Ki for exogenously added calmodulin studied at 1 microM Ca2+ was 0.2 microM. The Ki for trifluoperazine inhibition of the Ca2+/calmodulin response was 3 microM. These results represent compelling evidence for intracellular Ca2+/calmodulin regulation of coupled NaCl transport across the intestinal microvillus membrane. The exact mechanism of this regulation remains to be delineated.

Abstract
Uptake of Na and Cl into brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit ileal epithelial cells was investigated with a rapid filtration technique using 22Na and 36Cl as tracers. The rank order of anion dependence for Na uptake in the absence of anion gradients was SCN greater than NO3 greater than gluconate. The sequence of cation specificity for Cl uptake was Na congruent to Li greater than K greater than choline. The transport of Na and Cl were both inhibited by harmaline, furosemide, 4-acetamido-4'-isothiocyanostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, and 4,4'-diisothiocyano-2,2'-stilbene disulfonic acid. Carrier mediation of Cl-stimulated Na transport was suggested by the competition for 22Na uptake with increasing concentrations of unlabeled Na in the presence of Cl but not when gluconate was the counterion. Chloride-dependent Na uptake had an apparent Km of 4.5 mM and a Vmax of 20 nmol . mg prot-1 . 15 s-1. Na-H exchange and Cl-OH (or HCO3) exchange were also demonstrated in these vesicles. These findings confirm the presence of an electrically neutral carrier-mediated, Na-Cl-coupled transport process in the apical cell membrane of rabbit ileal epithelial cells. The nature of the coupling of Na to Cl transport, i.e., NaCl symport or a process that combines Na-H antiport with Cl-OH (or HCO3) antiport, remains to be determined.

Abstract
To assess Na-K-ATPase inhibiton and prostaglandin synthesis stimulation as the mechanism of the secretory (cathartic) action of phenolphthalein in the primate, we investigated water and electrolyte transport and Na-K-ATPase levels in monkey intestine. Both jejunum and colon were studied with in vivo perfusion and in vitro Ussing chamber techniques. Water, Na, and Cl absorption was inhibited or secretion was induced by phenolphthalein (10(-3) M) in the jejunum and colon when the drug was present in the mucosal bathing (perfusion) solution. Serosal addition of phenolphthalein (10(-4) or 10(-3) M) induced Na and anion absorption in the jejunum but not in the colon. Phenolphthalein inhibited Na-K-ATPase activity in the test tube, but assays of intestine previously perfused or bathed in the drug showed no inhibiton. Indomethacin, in doses sufficient to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis in the intestine, inhibited the secretion induced by phenolphthalein in the jejunum but not in the colon. These inconsistencies cast doubt on the role of Na-K-ATPase inhibition or the role of prostaglandin synthesis stimulation in the mechanism of action of phenolphthalein.

Abstract
The isolated intact white adipocyte of the Swiss mouse responds to both ACTH and catecholamines by an elevation of cAMP levels and an increase in lipolysis. However, in the isolated plasma membrane of the mouse adipocyte, adenylate cyclase loses its responsiveness to ACTH but retains its ability to respond to catecholamines. This lack of responsiveness to ACTH by adenylate cyclase of mouse adipocyte plasma membrane can be overcome, at least partially, by addition of GPP (NH)p, an analog of GTP, to the assay medium. The data on mouse adipocyte membrane suggests that the coupling of ACTH receptor to adenylate cyclase is dependent on GTP and that catecholamine-activation of adenylate cyclase is less dependent on this nucleotide. The isolated intact white adipocyte of adult New Zealand rabbit responds to ACTH, but does not (or only weakly) respond to catecholamines. In contrast to the mouse plasma membrane preparation, adenylate cyclase of adipocyte membrane of the rabbit responds to ACTH. And the addition of GPP(NH)P is not required to demonstrate the CTH: sensitive adenylate cyclase activity. The difference between mouse and rabbit adipocyte membrane in the requirement for GPP(NH)P in ACTH action is not readily explained. The lack of catecholamine sensitivity of rabbit membrane enzyme cannot be reversed by addition of GPP(NH)P or adenosine deaminase. These two adenylate cyclase model systems using mouse and rabbit adipocyte plasma membrane may be useful tools for the study of the specificity and mechanism of action of lipolytic hormones such as ACTH and catecholamines.

Abstract
Using (-)-[3H]-dihydroalprenolol ([3H]-DHA) and [3H]-norepinephrine ([3H]-NE) as probes, adrenoreceptors in mouse and rabbit adipocyte plasma membranes were studied and compared. The binding of either radioligand can be displaced by propranolol, alprenolol, isoproterenol or norepinephrine. [3H]-Norepinephrine bound to rabbit plasma membrane can be displaced by phentolamine. Based on displacement of radioligand by unlabelled stereoisomers, the binding is stereospecific for the (-) stereoisomer. Quantitative binding determinations of catecholamine radioligand as well as competitive inhibitory and displacement studies with Scatchard plots where appropriate, allowed calculation of binding parameters including Bmax and Kd for both radioligands and for the compounds listed above. Kinetics of displacement were also followed. Based on these binding parameters and kinetics, together with the activity of hormone and NaF sensitive adenylate cyclase, we conclude that both the population of beta-adrenoreceptor and its coupling efficiency for adenylate cyclase of the rabbit plasma membrane appear to be low as compared to that of mouse and rat.

Abstract
Hormone stimulated lipolysis of mouse and rabbit adipocytes as measured by both free fatty acid and glycerol release, is proportionally elevated with increase in the adipocyte cAMP level up to 1 nmol/g. The correlation coefficients are 0.94 and 0.97 for FFA/cAMP and glycerol/cAMP respectively. Increments in cAMP greater than 1 nmol/g show no correlation with increase in lipolysis. The release of lipolytic products, glycerol and free fatty acids, from white adipocytes in response to ACTH, epinephrine or norepinephrine was measured using radiochemical assays in short term incubation systems, with cAMP levels measured at the same time and from the same cell sample. Under the conditions studied, epinephrine is a more effective lipolytic hormone than ACTh in mouse adipocyte, and ACTH is more effective than epinephrine in rabbit adipocyte. The effect of catecholamines on the rabbit adipocyte is not modified by phentolamine (10 microM), but it is potentiated by 1-methyl-3-isobutyl xanthine (0.1 mM). The results suggest that cAMP mediates the action of these lipolytic hormones in white adipocytes of mouse and rabbit.

Abstract
A difference in the mechanism of transmembrane transport was demonstrated for methotrexate (MTX) and MTX bound to the high molecular weight carrier bovine serum albumin (MTX-BSA) when the drug dose needed to reduce growth of cells to 50% of that of untreated cells (ID50) was compared in the sensitive L1210 leukemia and 3 L1210 sublines resistant to MTX by virtue of either deficient MTX transport or high levels of dihydrofolate dehydrogenase (DHFD). The loss of transport increased the ID50 for inhibition of growth rate by free MTX tenfold to twentyfold, whereas the elevation of DHFD levels increased the ID50 by tenfold. In contrast, deficiency of transport resulted in only a twofold increase in the ID50 for MTX-BSA, and elevation of DHFD caused a tenfold increase similar to that for free MTX. This difference was confirmed in studies of inhibition of DHFD activity by free and BSA-bound MTX. MTX-BSA but not MTX had antitumor activity against the transport-deficient L1210 line in (C57BL/6 x DBA/2)F1. These studies confirm a separate mode of cell entry for MTX-BSA and suggest a role for these complexes in overcoming resistance.

Abstract
The emission maximum of DPN-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase in pH 7.07 buffer is shifted from 317 to 324 nm and fluorescence intensity is decreased when the excitation wave-length is varied from 270 to 290 nm; in 0.2 M KOH, where the fluorescence of tyrosyl residues is almost completely quenched, a further substantial decline in quantum yield of protein fluorescence and a red shift of the emission peak to 339 nm occur. The latter should be due mainly to tryptophyl residues. The enzyme contains 9.4 tyrosyl residues per subunit of molecular weight 42,000 determined spectrophotometrically (295 nm) at pH 13, in good agreement with a tyrosine content of 9.7 by amino acid analysis. No more than 1.1 tyrosyl residues per subunit can be detected up to pH 10.6 at 7 degrees upon prolonged incubation. The increase in absorption at 295 nm with increasing pH is related to loss of enzyme activity and results in a red shift of the emission maximum, and decreased fluorescence intensity. Treatment of the enzyme in a Li+-containing buffer at pH 7.5 with an excess of N-acetylimidazole results in (a) modification of 1.1 tyrosyl residues per subunit, (b) a 30% decrease in enzyme activity, (c) a 6-nm red shift in emission maximum, and (d) a decrease in fluorescence intensity. Manganous DL-isocitrate (1.06 mM) prevents the acetylation of the enzyme. Deacetylation of the O-acetylated enzyme by hydroxylamine completely restores the enzyme activity and reverses the spectral changes. The acetylation studies indicate that the reactive tyrosyl residue does not participate directly in catalysis but may be involved in maintaining the proper conformation of the active enzyme center. A net of 1 of the 2 tryptophyl residues per subunit is perturbed immediately by a number of solvents. This perturbation is not affected by manganous isocitrate, whereas exposure of tyrosyl residues occurs only with time and is prevented by the substrate. The perturbation of the tryptophyl residue is accompanied by a red shift of the fluorescence emission maximum. The more exposed tryptophyl residue may contribute to the energy transfer from protein to nucleotides since the quenching of protein fluorescence upon binding of DPN+, DPNH, or ADP by enzyme results in a blue shift of the emission maximum. Manganous DL-isocitrate (1.06 mM) quenches protein fluorescence by 16% without a shift in emission peak and does not affect the relative extent of fluorescence quenching induced by the nucleotides.

Abstract
A temperature-dependent conformational change of the active DPN-linked isocitrate dehydrogenase was observed. When initial reaction kinetic data were examined between 35 and 5 degrees, the Hill number (n) varied from 2 at higher to n approaching unity at lower temperatures, with an inflection point at 17 degrees. The presence of manganous isocitrate in the incubation media shifted the transition temperature for enzyme inactivation by 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate) from 8-16 degrees. These temperature-dependent transitions were paralleled by progressive changes in sedimentation velocities from s20, w of 10.4 at 25 degrees to 7.3 at 10 degrees as measured by active band centrifugation. The linear Arrhenius plot for apparent V max and the constancy of S0.5 for the substrate manganous isocitrate between 35 and 5 degrees suggest that this temperature-dependent conformational change may not be solely related to manganous isocitrate. Further indications of equilibria between different species of enzyme in solution and effects of substrates and cofactors on conformation came from studies of specific activity of enzyme diluted into buffers at 3 and 25 degrees. Dilution to concentrations between 10 and 25 mum enzyme resulted in relatively rapid protein concentration-dependent inactivation which could be prevented and fully reversed by manganous isocitrate. No further substantial inactivation was found subsequent to this phase at 25 degrees. Lowering the temperature of the dilution buffer to 3 degrees favored formation of enzyme species exhibiting a further time and pH-dependent loss of activity which became independent of protein concentration below 7 mum enzyme. The rate of cold inactivation was reduced by raising the ionic strength of the buffer and its progress could be arrested by manganous isocitrate; however, the substrate did not restore the original activity.
