Abstract
Multidrug resistance due to P-glycoprotein is a serious impediment to successful chemotherapy of cancer. Previous studies have shown that natural compounds such as prenyl flavonoids are able to modulate the multidrug resistance phenotype of P-glycoprotein-positive cancer cells. A fraction from the dichloromethane extract of a common Guadalupe Ficus, Ficus citrifolia was studied for its direct interaction with the purified C-terminal cytosolic domain of P-glycoprotein, and for its induced accumulation and cytotoxicity of vinblastine and daunomycin in two model cell lines overexpressing P-glycoprotein, namely K562/R7 and MESSA/Dx5. The fraction bound with high affinity to P-glycoprotein C-terminal cytosolic domain and was as efficient as cyclosporin A to increase intracellular accumulation of daunomycin in K562/R7 leukemic cells. Moreover, the fraction markedly enhanced the cytotoxic effect of vinblastine on the growth of MESSA/Dx5 cells. These results suggest that Ficus citrifolia possesses important therapeutic potential for improving the efficacy of cancer chemotherapy.

Abstract
A 48-yr-old patient was admitted to the ICU for cardiogenic shock and acute renal failure after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. A heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) occurred during haemodialysis with unfractioned heparin (UFH) as the anticoagulant. The dialysers, the circuits and the catheters were recurrently thrombosing and the platelet count decreased to 9 G.L-1 on postoperative day 7. UFH was discontinued. Attempts to substitute UFH with a low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) failed, due to the presence of a high cross-reactivity rate of LMWH with the heparin-dependent antibody. Intermittent haemodialysis without anticoagulation using a predilution of the dialysers failed also and resulted in recurrent clotting. After informed consent of the patient, a new natural heparinoid Orgaran (Org 10172, Organon, Oss Holland) was administered. This agent is a mixture of several non heparin low molecular weight glycosaminoglycans, with proven anticoagulant efficacy, low cross-reactivity with the HIT antibody, and a half-time prolonged over 18-25 hours. The treatment regimen consisted in a i.v. bolus of 40-45 IU.kg-1 prior to each dialysis procedure, performed every two days. The platelet count increased to 200 G.L-1, seven days after discontinuing heparin injection, and remained stable during the administration of Orgaran. No other thrombosis occurred again. Each procedure of four hours duration was monitored with the plasma anti-Xa activity and APTT test. The mean anti-Xa plasma concentrations (0.44 +/- 0.55 IU.mL-1, 30 min after injection of Orgaran) were well correlated with APTT test (r = 0.73, p < 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Coronary disease before the age of 40 has special clinical and pathogenic features. The authors sought evidence of the existence of abnormalities of hemostasis markers in 39 patients aged under 40, several weeks after a myocardial infarction (MI). Blood samples were drawn a mean of 8 months after the MI. These laboratory studies included assay of C and S proteins, fibrinogen, clotting factors VII and VIII and antithrombin III, as well as detection of any possible circulating anticoagulant. Plasma levels of platelet factor 4 (PT4) and of beta-thromboglobulin (BTG) were measured in the same sample, enabling determination of the BTG/PF4 ratio. Only fibrinogen and plasma levels of platelet proteins were abnormal, revealing a significant difference between patients with multi-vessel disease and those with single vessel disease or free of severe angiographic lesions. Platelet activation appeared to persist some time after the MI, chiefly in patients with multi-vessel disease, and showing no relation to either age or treatment. Conclusions require prudence in view of difficulties in interpreting plasma assays of PF4 and of BTG.

Abstract
The question is: to what extent periodic breathing usually observed in translocated subjects at high altitude affects normal and polycythemic residents of high altitude? Standard sleep parameters, chest wall movements, temperature of ventilated gas and arterial O2 saturation (SaO2) were continuously recorded in 7 normal highlanders (mean hematocrit: 51%) and 14 polycythemic highlanders (mean hematocrit: 68%) during one night in La Paz, 3,850 m, Bolivia. The patterns of breathing instability were analysed by two ways: measuring duration of apneas and counting all the oscillations of SaO2 greater than 1%. Normal and polycythemic highlanders displayed a wide intersubject variability with regard to breathing instability, hence no significant difference in the total number of apneas and oscillations of SaO2 could be evidenced between the 2 groups. However, the longest apneas and the highest number of oscillations of SaO2 were found in the polycythemic highlanders.

Abstract
This study was designed to compare sleep organization at high altitude (HA) and sea level (SL) and to estimate the extent periodic breathing (PB) negatively influences arterial O2 saturation (SaO2). Six lowlanders were studied at SL and after 3 weeks spent at 3,800 m (La Paz, Bolivia). Three EEG leads, EOG, submental EMG, chest and abdominal motion, temperature of ventilated gas, and SaO2 were polygraphically recorded. Comparison of HA and SL data disclosed that: 1) Sleep organization was identical, with the same percentage of REM and stage 4. 2) PB (cycle length: 20 s; central apnea: 9 s) occurred in three subjects during all stages of sleep except REM (43-60% of total sleep). A periodic lowering in heart rate occurred during ventilatory oscillation. 3) During PB, SaO2 oscillated very regularly from 78-90%, which resulted in a mean SaO2 value calculated during oscillations similar to that of the non-periodic breathers. We conclude that lung O2 uptake during PB is preserved.

Abstract
To answer the question whether PCO2 affects the muscular metabolism, PO2, PCO2, pH, lactic acid concentration and hemoglobin were measured in the efferent muscular venous blood from common flexor digitorum, during forearm rhythmic exercise corresponding to VO2max. Exercise was carried out either in hypocapnic hypoxia i.e. in permanent high altitude residents and translocated lowlanders, or in hypercapnic hypoxia i.e. in chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) patients. The results show that, during exercise: i) PO2 in muscular venous blood remains around 20 Torr in normoxia and hypocapnic hypoxia and even higher (25 torr) in COLD patients, despite low arterial PaO2, and ii) arterial and/or local PCO2 play a role in the control of the muscular blood flow. But we cannot conclude that a change in PaCO2 affects muscular metabolism itself, because lactic acid in the muscular venous blood, that we used to check this effect, is likely dependent on mechanisms other than anaerobic glycolysis, such as a change in lactic acid efflux from the myocytes. The increase in muscular venous PCO2 may enhance the myocyte permeability to lactic acid during exercise.

Abstract
The effects of breathing normoxic helium or argon gas mixture on the local muscular metabolism during exercise were compared to those of room air in four healthy subjects. For this purpose, PO2, PCO2, pH, the concentrations of lactate (LA), glucose (Gl) haemoglobin (Hb) and K+ and osmolarity were repeatedly measured in efferent muscular venous blood during 12 min of rhythmic forearm exercise and 16 min of recovery. The time courses and magnitude of the changes in PCO2, pH, [Gl], [Hb], [K+] and osmolarity during exercise and recovery were similar for breathing both the helium and argon gas mixtures. The main finding was that during exercise, the [LA] curve reached a peak value significantly higher by 25% under normoxic helium than under room air or normoxic argon breathing. This rise in [LA] was accompanied by a slight reduction in muscular venous PO2, too small to signify muscular hypoxia. The possibility that this decline in PO2 might be due to a shift in muscular metabolism towards lipid oxidation was confirmed by the lower muscular respiratory quotient observed during helium breathing. However, such a shift did not explain why [LA] rose during this breathing. The probable explanation is that helium facilitates LA diffusion out of the myocytes.

Abstract
Pollens of three Artemisia: Artemisia vulgaris, Artemisia absinthium, Artemisia annua were separated by ion exchange chromatography and amino acids concentrations were measured. In any cases, the most important amino acid was proline, then asparagine + glutamine group, then gamma aminobutyric acid and alanine. An important level of histidine (8.1%) and hydroxyproline (6.2%) was found in Artemisia annua relative to the two other Artemisia species. The high histidine level, the precursor of histamine, found in the three kinds of Artemisia might be correlated with allergenic power of these weeds.

Abstract
Cardiovascular and energetic responses at rest, during 30 min of exercise (mechanical output: 125 watts) and for a subsequent recovery period of 5 min were compared in two groups, each comprising 21 residents at an altitude of 2.850 m. One group was in the asymptomatic phase of Chagas' disease with positive serological tests for T. cruzi, whereas the other was without Chagas' disease (negative serological tests). The two groups were similar as regards age, weight-for-height, blood parameters, nutritional status and heart and lung functions, including heart rate and frontal plane QRS axis determinations. At rest, they differed in that maximal and minimal arterial blood pressures were slightly but significantly lower in the group with Chagas' positive serological tests than in the controls. During exercise and recovery, the only differences between them and the controls were that their minimal diastolic arterial blood pressure was significantly lower. In absolute values, the rises in arterial pressure due to exercise were exactly the same in the two groups. Maximal O2 uptake was identical in both groups, as was exercise steady state VO2. These findings indicate that the asymptomatic subjects with Chagas' disease had a normal work capacity and were not affected by high altitude.

Abstract
O2 concentration, PO2, PCO2, pH, osmolarity, lactate (LA), and hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations in deep forearm venous blood were repeatedly measured during submaximal exercise of forearm muscles. Concentrations of arterial blood gases were determined at rest and during exercise. Experiments were conducted under normoxia and hypobaric hypoxia (PB = 465 Torr). In arterial blood, data obtained during exercise were the same as those obtained during rest under either normoxia or hypoxia. In venous muscular blood, PO2 and O2 concentration were lower at rest and during exercise in hypoxia. The muscular arteriovenous O2 difference during exercise in hypoxia was increased by no more than 10% compared with normoxia, which implied that muscular blood flow during exercise also increased by the same percentage, if we assume that exercise O2 consumption was not affected by hypoxia. Despite increased [LA], the magnitude of changes in PCO2 and pH in hypoxia were smaller than in normoxia during exercise and recovery; this finding is probably due to the increased blood buffer value induced by the greater amount of reduced Hb in hypoxia. Hence all the changes occurring in hypoxia showed that local metabolism was less affected than we expected from the decrease in arterial PO2. The rise in [Hb] that occurred during exercise was lower in hypoxia. Possible underlying mechanisms of the [Hb] rise during exercise are discussed.

Abstract
Rectal temperature, mean skin temperature and heart rate were recorded in 7 subjects during hypnosis, induced either alone or while sensations of heat were suggested. During hypnosis alone, a fall in the heart rate of about 10 beat X min-1 was the only autonomic response observed; body temperatures were unaltered. In contrast, during hypnosis with suggestion of heat, the following changes occurred: (1) Mean rectal temperature decreased 0.20 degrees C (p less than 0.05) within 50 min. Its mean time course differed significantly from that for hypnosis alone (p less than 0.001). (2) Comparison of individual rectal temperature time sequences showed that in fact this temperature only declined in 4 subjects out of 7, and tended to form a plateau located 0.35 degrees C below the value of the preceding waking state. Despite reinforcement of heat suggestion, the plateau continued until the end of the hypnotic trance. (3) Mean skin temperature tended to rise. (4) When hypnosis with suggestion ceased, both rectal and skin temperatures very slowly returned to their levels during the preceding waking state.

Abstract
This study addresses the question of variability of immunoreactive human growth hormone (IRHGH) response to the following types of muscular exercise. 1) One hour of submaximal exercise with restarting for 30 min after 20 min of recovery. Three types of responses were observed: a rise of [IRHGH] occurred in response to muscular activity; [IRHGH] was maintained at rest level during the first bout and then rose in the second bout; or [IRHGH] rose during the first bout and was no longer modified by the restarting. 2) Thirty minutes of heavy exercise. In some subjects [IRHGH] change was almost linear with time, reaching very high values and dropping as soon as exercise had stopped, whereas in others peak values were similar to those of submaximal exercise but, in contrast, plateaued during recovery. 3) One hour of exercise performed either continuously or with alternate sequences of 30-s exercise and 30-s pause. In intermittent exercise, some subjects displayed a similar time course of [IRHGH] as in continuous exercise and others displayed markedly high values. 4) One hour of submaximal exercise at three different intensities carried out at ambient temperatures of 24 and 33 degrees C. At 33 degrees C, in some subjects, [IRHGH] time course at the three intensities was unchanged at 33 degrees C compared with that at 24 degrees C, whereas the maximal value increased in another subject up to 150 ng X ml-1. A significant intrasubject consistency to a given type of exercise was evident over several months. The study emphasizes that caution should be used in drawing definite conclusions from averaged results with high variability.

Abstract
The effects of hypoxia on growth hormone release during submaximal exercise were studied 1) in eight highlanders (HL) at 3,800 m (La Paz, Bolivia); and 2) in five lowlanders (LL) at sea level, after 5 days' sojourn at 2,850 m, and while breathing a hypoxic gas mixture (FIO2 - 0.15 corresponding to PIO2 at 2,850 m) 1 mo after returning to sea level. Concentrations of immunoreactive human growth hormone ([IRHGH]), blood glucose ([G]), free fatty acids ([FFA]), and lactate ([LA]) were determined repeatedly at rest, during 1 h of exercise, and after 1 h of recovery. Compared with LL, in HL, the resting value of [IRHGH] is higher, the rate of increase at the beginning of exercise is faster and earlier, but the mean maximal value reached at the end of exercise is similar. The response pattern in LL during the early stages of exposure to hypoxia resembles that of HL. No correlation was found between peak values of [IRHGH] and maximal values of [LA] and [FFA] or minimal values of [G]. The possible causes of the different time sequence observed in growth hormone dynamics during hypoxia are suggested: an alteration of the clearance of the hormone through a more pronounced reduction of hepatic blood flow or a difference in the state of the pituitary gland before the exercise begins. The study emphasizes the importance of characterizing time sequence of [IRHGH] by parameters other than the maximal value, e.g., by mean concentration computed over exercise period.

Abstract
An exchange assay for the measurement of total cytoplasmic progestin binding sites has been developed on rabbit uterine cytosol using the highly potent progestin, R5020 (17,21-dimethyl-19-nor-4,9-pregnadiene-3,20-dione) labelled to a high specific activity. This compound has several advantages over progesterone: it is not bound by plasma corticosteroid binding globulin; it has high affinity for the progestin receptor; it binds virtually as fast as progesterone to the receptor, but the complex formed dissociated 8 times slower; its binding is not displaced by more than 2% by compounds devoid of progestational activity (estrogens, testosterone, dexamethasone, aldosterone). Bound endogenous progesterone was exchanged by tritiated R 5020 in a time compatible with receptor stability. At 0 C, total exchange of filled sites occurred in less than 4 h; at this temperature the R 5020-receptor complex was stable for at least 28 h. The conformation of the R 5020-receptor complex was investigated in sucrose density gradients under various experimental conditions. Unlike progesterone, it was possible to detect a 7S peak in uterine cytosol obtained from rabbits injected with a tracer dose of [3H]R 5020 1 h prior to sacrifice.
