Abstract
Progressive human renal cystic diseases are characterized by proliferation of the epithelial cells lining the cyst. The kidney synthesizes epidermal growth factor and its presence in renal cyst fluid might contribute to renal epithelial cell proliferation. We screened autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, acquired renal cystic disease, the von Hippel-Lindau syndrome, multilocular cystic nephroma, multicystic dysplastic kidney disease and simple cyst fluids for the presence of epidermal growth factor by radioreceptor assay, specific radioimmunoassay, immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. Multiple epidermal growth factor immunoreactive species of approximately 180 kD. and lower molecular weights were present in almost all cyst fluids examined, suggesting endogenous synthesis and limited proteolysis of epidermal growth factor precursor protein in cyst fluid. Tamm-Horsfall protein was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in most cysts (for example 55 of 59 autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease samples). The majority of simple and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease renal cysts contained high sodium ion concentration, epidermal growth factor precursor protein and Tamm-Horsfall protein, characteristic of the early thick ascending limb. Rather than the mere presence of epidermal growth factor in renal cyst fluids, increased sensitivity to epidermal growth factor or other mitogens present in renal cyst fluid may be pathogenic in progressive renal cystic disease.

Abstract
Since diseases of the neural retina and optic nerve can result in alteration of biological membranes, this study determines similarities and differences in the membrane phospholipid content of the neural retina, optic nerve head, and optic nerve to serve as baseline data. Neural retina, optic nerve head, and optic nerve were dissected, isolated as 5 sets from 20 rabbits and frozen in liquid N2. Separate pooled-tissue extracts were prepared for each set of tissues and phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR) analyses performed. Ten phospholipids were quantified (respective neural retina, optic nerve head, and optic nerve mole % are given for the 5 major phospholipids detected): phosphatidylcholine (PC), 44.61, 27.67, 26.40; PC plasmalogen or alkylacyl PC (CPLIP); phosphatidylinositol (PI); sphingomyelin (SM); phosphatidylserine (PS), 12.63, 14.77, 15.09; phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), 21.21, 9.59, 8.69; PE plasmalogen (EPLAS), 11.07, 30.96, 33.93; an unidentified (unknown) phospholipid (U) at the chemical-shift value of 0.13 ppm; diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG); and phosphatidic acid (PA), 0.46, 2.92, 1.57. Significant differences between the various tissues were determined by the one-way analysis of variance, using a Scheffé range value of P < 0.05. The neural retina in all phospholipids detected except for the uncharacterized (unknown) phospholipid was significantly different from the optic nerve head tissue. The optic nerve head was significantly different from the optic nerve in PC, CPLIP, PE, EPLAS, U, DPG, and PA. The data provide a baseline for studies on pathologically changed neural retina, optic nerve head, and optic nerve.

Abstract
A patient presented with a draining sinus tract on the lingual alveolus of the posterior mandibular ridge. The source of the sinus tract was not readily apparent. Radiographs created the impression that a lesion of unusual and possibly metastatic origin might be involved. Comprehensive diagnostic tests were ordered, but the source of the lesion remained obscure until a surgical exploration was performed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effects of caloric restriction, independent of differences in weight loss, on improvements in glycemic control, fasting insulin, and insulin sensitivity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We randomized 93 obese type II diabetic patients to two different degrees of calorie restriction (1,674 or 4,185 kJ/day; 400 or 1,000 kcal/day) and compared the changes in fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and insulin sensitivity that resulted from a comparable reduction in body weight (11% of initial body weight). Insulin sensitivity was assessed using the minimal model analysis of frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance tests. RESULTS Despite equal weight losses, subjects in the 1,674 kJ/day (400 kcal) condition had lower fasting glucose levels (7.61 vs. 10.13 mM, P = 0.03) and greater insulin sensitivity (1.79 vs. 1.13, P = 0.04) after weight loss than did subjects in the 4,185 kJ/day (1,000 calorie) condition. Subjects were restudied 15 weeks later when both groups were consuming a 4,185 kJ/day (1,000 kcal/day) diet. Subjects who increased from 1,674 to 4,185 kJ (400 to 1,000 calories) had worse fasting glycemic control in spite of continued weight loss, whereas subjects who remained on 4,185 kJ (1,000 calories) throughout had further improvements in both blood glucose and insulin sensitivity with increased weight loss. CONCLUSIONS Both degree of calorie restriction and magnitude of weight loss have independent effects on improvements in glycemic control and insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
Extensive recent research supports a proposal that a new eating disorder, binge eating disorder (BED), be included in DSM-IV. BED criteria define a relatively pure group of individuals who are distressed by recurrent binge eating who do not exhibit the compensatory features of bulimia nervosa. This large number of patients currently can only be diagnosed as eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS). Recognizing this new disorder will help stimulate research and clinical programs for these patients. Fairburn et al.'s critique of BED fails to acknowledge the large body of knowledge that indicates that BED represents a distinct and definable subgroup of eating disordered patients and that the diagnosis provides useful information about psychopathology, prognosis, and outcome (Fairburn, Welch, & Hay [in press]. The classification of recurrent overeating: The "binge eating disorder" proposal. International Journal of Eating Disorders.) Against any reasonable standard for adding a new diagnosis to DSM-IV, BED meets the test.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the lifetime prevalence of major depression (MD) and its relation to glycemic control among a group of non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetic subjects seeking obesity treatment and to determine whether a history of MD affected response to treatment. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Sixty-six obese subjects with type II diabetes (22 men, 44 women) completed the Inventory to Diagnose Depression-Lifetime Version before a 52-wk behavioral weight-control program. Weight, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, and mood were assessed at pre- and posttreatment. RESULTS Thirty-two percent of the subjects reported a history of MD. Neither a history of MD nor current depressive symptoms were associated with pretreatment glycemic control. However, a history of MD was related to treatment attrition (52.4 vs. 22.2%, P = 0.03). Subjects with and without a history of MD showed comparable improvements in weight, glycemic control, and mood. CONCLUSIONS A history of MD among type II diabetic patients seeking obesity treatment was not related to pretreatment glycemic control but was associated with higher rates of attrition from treatment. Individuals with a history of MD who completed the program did not differ from those with no history of MD in response to treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Very-low-calorie diets have been shown to produce dramatic improvements in glycemic control in obese subjects with non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes. There have been no studies of the psychological responses of diabetic subjects to these diets. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This study examined changes in hunger, depression, and anxiety in 33 obese type II diabetic subjects who were randomly assigned to behavior modification programs that used either a balanced diet of 4185-6277 J/day (1000-1500 cal/day) throughout or included an 8-wk period of a very-low-calorie diet (1674 J/day or 400 cal/day of lean meat, fish, or fowl). Subjects completed the Beck Depression Inventory, the Spielberger State Anxiety Questionnaire, and self-report measures of hunger frequently throughout the 20-wk program. RESULTS Both groups experienced significant improvements in depressive symptomatology, anxiety, and lessening of hunger during the course of the program, with no significant differences observed between the balanced diet and the very-low-calorie diet groups. CONCLUSIONS Very-low-calorie diets, used in the context of a behavioral weight-control program, result in reductions in hunger and improvements in mood state comparable to those observed on more moderate weight-loss regimens.

Abstract
We tested the hypothesis that the use of a very-low-calorie diet (VLCD) in combination with behavior modification would promote long-term glycemic control in obese type 2 diabetic subjects. Thirty-six diabetic subjects were randomly assigned to a standard behavior therapy program or to a behavior therapy program that included an 8-week period of VLCD. The behavior therapy group consumed a balanced diet of 4200 to 6300 J/d throughout the 20-week program. The VLCD group consumed a balanced diet of 4200 to 6300 J for weeks 1 to 4, followed by a VLCD (1680 J/d of lean meat, fish, and fowl) for weeks 5 to 12. The VLCD group then gradually reintroduced other foods during weeks 13 to 16 and consumed a balanced diet of 4200 to 6300 J/d for weeks 17 to 20. Thirty-three of the 36 subjects completed the 20-week program and the 1-year follow-up. Use of the VLCD produced greater decreases in fasting glucose at the end of the 20-week program and at 1-year follow-up and greater long-term reductions in HbA1. The VLCD group also had greater weight losses at week 20, but weight losses from pretreatment to 1-year follow-up were similar in the two treatment groups. The improved glycemic control with the VLCD appeared to be due to increased insulin secretion, but further research is needed to confirm this.

Abstract
Forty-nine obese diabetic patients with obese spouses (diabetic or nondiabetic) were randomly assigned to an alone or together condition. Patients in the alone group participated by themselves in a 20-week behavioral weight control program; their spouses attended assessment sessions only. Patients in the together group attended the program with their spouses; both were targeted for weight loss and taught social support strategies. Weight losses of patients treated alone and together did not differ significantly at posttreatment (19.9 vs. 19.1 lb) or 1-year follow-up (11.6 vs. 7.0 lb). However, there was a significant interaction of treatment and gender; women did better when treated with their spouses, whereas men did better when treated alone. A "family-based" approach was not effective for these obese Type II diabetic patients as a whole but may be helpful for women.

Abstract
We report our long-term experience with 104 patients treated for recurrent superficial bladder tumors followed for a mean of 48 +/- 2 months (range 6 to 83 months). Patients received 6 weekly intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin instillations, and were followed for response with urinary cytology, cystoscopy and bladder biopsy. Patients were considered treatment failures if either urinary cytology or biopsy results were positive for tumor. Of 69 patients who failed the initial treatment course 60 were given an additional 6-week course of therapy. A 6-week course of bacillus Calmette-Guerin was successful in 19 of 55 patients (35%) treated for prophylaxis, 10 of 32 (31%) treated for carcinoma in situ and 6 of 17 (35%) treated for residual tumor. The response rate for the total patient population treated with 1, 6-week course was 34% (35 of 104). Another 6-week course was successful in 32 of 60 patients (53%). The over-all response rate free of tumor for patients treated with either 6 or 12 weeks of therapy was 64%. The mean interval free of tumor was 48 months. We evaluated tumor type, stage and grade in conjunction with muscle invasion to assess potential indicators of response to a second course of bacillus Calmette-Guerin. Of 13 patients with carcinoma in situ and 45 with papillary disease 5 (38%) and 26 (58%), respectively, responded to a second course of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (not significantly different). In contrast, 5 of 8 carcinoma in situ failures (63%) had muscle invasive disease, compared to only 3 of 19 papillary nonresponders (16%) (p less than 0.02). These results suggest that intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin for the treatment of superficial bladder tumors is an effective long-term therapy. One 6-week course may be ineffective for some patients and another 6-week course provides long-term survival free of tumor for many course 1 failures. Patients who present with carcinoma in situ after a single 6-week course of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guerin have a significantly higher risk for muscle invasive disease than those with recurrent papillary tumors.

Abstract
To determine whether fluoxetine is effective in the long-term treatment of obesity and whether it is particularly useful in the treatment of obese binge-eaters, the authors randomly assigned 45 obese subjects (22 with binge-eating problems and 23 without binge-eating) to fluoxetine (60 mg/day) or placebo in a 52-week double-blind trial. The 21 subjects who completed the trial made 13 clinic visits and were taught basic behavior modification strategies. Patients treated with fluoxetine plus behavior modification lost significantly more weight than those treated with placebo plus behavior modification. However, the drug did not appear to have a differential benefit for binge-eaters.

Abstract
Because weight loss is difficult to achieve, it would be helpful to determine whether there are subgroups of obese type II diabetic patients who benefit most from participation in a behavioral weight loss program. We studied 178 obese patients with type II diabetes, who participated in a 12-20 week behavioral weight loss program and were followed for 1 year after the program to determine whether age, gender, percent overweight, medication, duration of diabetes or fasting glucose were related to weight loss and/or to the magnitude of improvement in glycemic control experienced with weight loss. Gender was the only variable related to weight loss; males lost more weight and had greater decreases in percent overweight than females. The variable most strongly related to improvement in glycemic control was pretreatment fasting glucose level; patients with higher initial glucose levels experienced the greatest improvements in control. There was no evidence to support the belief that patients on insulin have poorer weight losses or that patients with long-duration diabetes benefit less from weight reduction than those with recent-onset diabetes.

Abstract
This study compared depressive symptomatology in 32 obese subjects with type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes (16 men, 16 women) and their obese nondiabetic spouses. All subjects completed the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) before participation in a behavioral weight-loss program. Diabetic subjects reported significantly more depressive symptomatology than their overweight nondiabetic spouses (10.6 +/- 6.4 vs. 7.5 +/- 6.2, P less than 0.04). Diabetic subjects scored higher than their spouses on 15 of 20 BDI items, with significant differences in feelings of being punished, perceived appearance, and interest in sex. Mean BDI score in the diabetic spouses was similar to that observed in the first 123 diabetic subjects to enter the weight-loss program (BDI 11.2 +/- 6.9). Further studies are needed to determine whether diabetic subjects differ from age-, sex-, and weight-matched nondiabetic individuals in clinical depression and depressive symptomatology.

Abstract
To identify the behavior-change strategies that are most clearly related to weight loss, 106 patients with type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes completed the Eating Behavior Inventory (EBI) before and after participating in a behavioral weight-loss program and at 1-yr follow-up. The EBI is a standardized questionnaire that assesses behavioral strategies typically taught in a behavioral weight-loss program. Pretreatment scores on the EBI were not related to weight-loss outcome, but changes on the EBI in the direction of more frequent use of appropriate strategies were related to weight loss at both posttreatment and 1-yr follow-up. Specific strategies related to weight loss at both times were 1) eating foods that help in losing weight, 2) recording foods eaten, 3) refusing food offered by others, and 4) being able to stop eating when appropriate. However, few patients maintained frequent use of these strategies at follow-up. It is concluded that weight-loss programs should focus on the strategies most strongly related to weight loss and try to improve long-term use of these techniques.

Abstract
To determine whether diabetic individuals have more difficulty losing weight than nondiabetic individuals, 12 overweight diabetic subjects (6 men, 6 women) and their overweight nondiabetic spouses were treated together in a behavioral weight-control program. Diabetic and nondiabetic subjects did not differ in age, weight, or percent overweight. Weight losses of nondiabetic spouses were significantly greater than those of diabetic patients (13.4 +/- 1.7 vs. 7.5 +/- 1.4 kg; P less than .01). Differences emerged by wk 5 and became greater over the 20-wk program. Nondiabetic subjects reduced their intake significantly more than diabetics, suggesting that differences in dietary adherence were responsible for the differences in weight loss.

Abstract
A case of drug-induced lichenoid dermatitis with an unusual epidermotropic multinucleated giant cell inflammatory response is reported. The patient is a 52-year-old white woman who is steroid-dependent because of long-standing systemic lupus erythematosus. At the time of presentation of her generalized papulosquamous pruritic eruption, she was taking oral antihypertensive medications (methyldopa and chlorothiazide). After discontinuation of these medications and local treatment with topical corticosteroids, the skin eruption dramatically improved. Microscopically, the skin lesions had a lichenoid inflammatory pattern, with multiple cytoid bodies, multinucleated giant cells, and a mixed chronic inflammatory infiltrate that included lymphocytes, histiocytes, and eosinophils.

Abstract
Several recent case reports have shown that anorexia nervosa and bulimia negatively affect glycemic control in diabetic patients. However, there have been no systematic studies to assess the prevalence of clinical or subclinical eating disorders among diabetic patients or to determine the impact of such disturbances on glycemic control. This study reports a survey of 202 adolescents, aged 12-18 yr, seen in the Diabetes Clinic, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, who were asked to complete the Binge Eating Scale (BES) and the EAT-26 questionnaire. Responses of diabetic patients to the EAT-26 questionnaire were compared with those of a nondiabetic control group and were related to measures of glycemic control. Diabetic subjects scored higher on the total EAT-26 than nondiabetic control subjects, ordinarily indicative of more eating pathology. However, diabetic subjects scored higher only on the dieting subscale of this questionnaire, probably reflecting adherence to the diabetes dietary regimen. Subjects with diabetes scored lower, or did not differ significantly, from nondiabetic control subjects on measures of oral control and bulimia. Among diabetic subjects, self-reported bulimic behaviors were related to poorer glycemic control. Patients with the highest scores on the BES had an average HbA1 of 13.1% compared with 11.8% for age- and sex-matched patients at the 50th percentile, and 10.8% for patients in the lowest 10th percentile. Further studies are needed to determine whether modification of these eating behaviors would improve glycemic control.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence and severity of binge eating among 432 women seeking behavioral treatment for obesity and to assess the relationship between binge eating and dietary restraint. Subjects completed standardized self-report questionnaires which assessed the severity of binge eating and habitual dietary restraint. Binge eating was extremely prevalent, with 46% of subjects reporting serious problems. Serious binge eating was more common in younger and heavier subjects. Further, binge eating severity was significantly related to overall dietary restraint. The current findings indicate that the treatments of binge eating may need to be considered in planning behavioral programs for the obese.

Abstract
Ten studies investigating the relationship between mood change and weight loss in behavioral weight loss programs were reviewed. Significant positive changes in mood were observed in 6 of the 10 studies. There was no evidence to indicate that untoward reactions to dieting were frequent, that patients with juvenile-onset obesity experienced more negative mood changes than those with adult-onset obesity, or that dropping out of treatment was a response to increasing depression. The positive changes in mood were related to active participation in a treatment program, and occurred in behavioral and nonbehavioral treatment programs. Differences between the studies reviewed and the earlier research on mood and weight loss are discussed and suggestions made for subsequent studies of mood changes during weight reduction.
