Abstract
Allergic contact dermatitis from drugs is a significant obstacle to the development of transdermal drug delivery systems. Protocols for the sensitization of mice to drugs are needed to test methods for the prevention of allergic contact dermatitis. CBA/J female mice were sensitized to the drugs albuterol, chlorpheniramine, clonidine and nadolol by topical application. Sensitization was achieved by application of drug at 5% (w/v) to shaven dorsal skin for 5 days in a hydroxyethylcellulose vehicle. Contact sensitization was determined by measuring the ear swelling response to application of 1% drug in vehicle. Control mice treated by application of vehicle alone did not exhibit an ear swelling response to drug. Supplementation of the mice with vitamin A boosted the ear swelling response, as did application of drug to dorsal versus abdominal skin. Although plasma amounts of retinol were higher in vitamin A supplemented versus control mice, the rate of drug (albuterol and nadolol) permeation was not significantly different between vitamin A supplemented and control mice. Permeability of dorsal skin for nadolol was twice that of ventral skin, which may explain the differences in sensitization at these sites. This sensitization protocol should be useful in the development of hypoallergenic transdermal drug delivery systems.

Abstract
The infrared emission properties of an electrically heated single resistive element produced by ion implantation of diamond is reported. It is found that good contrast can be obtained between the implanted and unimplanted regions of the diamond mainly because of the increased emissivity following implantation. The infrared output is stronger if the diamond is viewed with the implanted surface facing away from the detector. The possible utilization of diamond-based pixels in infrared scene generation is discussed.

Abstract
The clinical features of Lyme disease have been well documented since its description as a distinct clinical entity in 1975. A better understanding of the diversity of Borrelia strains and species that cause the disease as well as new insights into the immunology and pathogenesis of Lyme disease help explain some of the observed variations in clinical manifestations. The diagnosis of Lyme disease may be straightforward when patients in endemic areas present with typical clinical features; however, the diagnosis should be in doubt when the clinical picture is nonspecific or atypical, or a feasible exposure history cannot be obtained. Laboratory diagnosis is primarily based on serologic techniques, but interpretation of test results can be fraught with uncertainty. Treatment with appropriate antibiotics is successful in the majority of cases of Lyme disease. However, some patients may not respond, and in these cases multiple repeated courses are usually ineffective and unwarranted. More data are needed to determine the appropriate treatment of Lyme disease during pregnancy, and the appropriate management of ixodes tick bites. A suitable arthropod vector and a competent animal reservoir host are essential for perpetuating Lyme disease in a geographic location. The intricate ecologic forces at work are well understood in certain endemic areas but are poorly defined elsewhere, particularly where the disease is sporadic or its existence is in question. Prevention of Lyme disease is best achieved through education regarding avoidance of the tick vector. A vaccine using a recombinant form of the OspA protein of B. burgdorferi has been successful in animal models. Whether an effective human vaccine can be developed remains unknown.

Abstract
HTLV-I is associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) characterized by monoclonal expansions of CD4+ T-lymphocytes. In this report we describe a histologically benign, polyclonal HTLV-I infection in a patient exhibiting both an absolute CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytosis. Three T-cell lines containing integrated HTLV-I proviral copies established from this patient were initially polyclonal, but with time all grew out the same two clones as determined by analysis of their T-cell antigen receptor beta chain gene rearrangements. The patient subsequently developed pulmonary and nasopharyngeal nodules containing HTLV-I infected cells. Restriction analysis of the patient's HTLV-I provirus revealed no differences from prototype HTLV-I and the tax gene was normally expressed in vivo and in vitro. The patient's T-lymphocytosis and HTLV-I+ pulmonary tract nodules were put into a complete clinical remission by treatment with alkylating agents and steroids. Subsequently, the patient developed a severe immunodeficiency state and expired. Retrospective serologic and gene amplification assays for HIV-1 demonstrated that he had been doubly infected from the time of presentation. Postmortem analysis by polymerase chain reaction revealed the presence of both HTLV-I and HIV-1 in lymphatic tissues and the testes; HIV-1 was also detected in brain tissue.

Abstract
Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) and human T-cell lymphotropic virus type II (HTLV-II) have been associated with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) and a rare T-cell variant of hairy cell leukemia, respectively. Direct detection of viral nucleic acid in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and infected tissues in carrier patients and those with chronic disease has proven refractory due to viral transcriptional dormancy and the small number of infected cells present. The investigators report here the successful application of the DNA amplification procedure, termed PCR, to the detection of these human oncoviruses. Judicious selection of specific oligonucleotides for primers and probes provides type-specific and simultaneous detection of these two retroviruses. The ability to amplify and detect highly conserved regions of these medically relevant viruses may facilitate the identification of, as yet, uncharacterized retroviruses.

Abstract
Six units of granulocytes stored for 18 hours at 20 to 24 degrees C without agitation were passed through an electromechanical infusion device pump system (test) (Abbott) and through a 170-micron filter (control). To determine the effect of needle gauge, a 19 or 23 gauge needle was attached to the end of the pump administration set. After passage through the pump, granulocytes were evaluated for signs of cytolysis and functional loss, red cells for hemolysis, platelets for release of beta-thromboglobulin, and plasma for C3a and C5a complement activation. There was no evidence (mean +/- 1 SD) of hemolysis (less than 1.0 vs. less than 1.0 mg/dl), loss of granulocytes (123 +/- 38 X 10(3)/microliters vs. 118 +/- 29 X 10(3)/microliters), changes in any of several tests of neutrophil function, increased release of beta-thromboglobulin (15.8 +/- 5.8 vs. 17.0 +/- 6.6%), or C3a complement activation (483 +/- 221 vs. 500 +/- 200 ng/ml) after passage through the pump system (p greater than 0.05). No significant differences were seen between the use of a 19 or 23 gauge needle. Based on these in vitro data, we conclude that this pump system is acceptable for use in clinical practice when control over rate and volume of granulocyte administration is important.

Abstract
Between 1965 and 1984, 72 patients underwent operation for adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus or gastric cardia. A standard transthoracic esophagogastrectomy and esophagogastrostomy was performed in 43 and a transhiatal esophagectomy without thoracotomy and partial proximal gastrectomy was performed in 29. There was no significant difference between the two groups in age, sex, or TNM tumor staging. The perioperative complication rate was 86% in the esophagogastrectomy patients and 48% in the transhiatal esophagectomy patients (p less than 0.05). Mortality was higher in the esophagogastrectomy group (14%) than in the transhiatal esophagectomy group (7%). Average operative blood loss was greater in the esophagogastrectomy patients (2,510 versus 1,187 ml). Average postoperative hospitalization was longer for the esophagogastrectomy patients (22.2 days versus 12.3 days). Both differences are statistically significant (p less than 0.05). Late results, as evaluated by life-table analysis, showed no significant difference in survival between the two groups of patients. Because the morbidity and mortality rates of transhiatal esophagectomy are as low as or lower than those for esophagogastrectomy, late survival is as good, and palliation is superior (less suture-line tumor recurrence and reflux esophagitis), we believe that transhiatal esophagectomy is the preferred operative approach in patients with adenocarcinoma of the distal esophagus or gastric cardia.

Abstract
B16 cells produce a tumor facilitating factor (TFF) that increases B16 tumor incidence in mice injected with a small number of B16 cells. TFF was derived from serum-free culture supernatant concentrated on an Amicon PM10 membrane. One milliliter of concentrated material represented the product 10(8) B16 cells during a 6-h incubation. We report data that indicate TFF may act by altering macrophage function. In the nude mouse deficient in T cell, but not macrophage function, the injection of 0.8 ml of TFF facilitated tumor development. Subcutaneous injection of 0.7 ml of TFF induced mouse peritoneal macrophages to spread when removed and plated on glass coverslips. This effect peaked 3 days after injection of TFF and was abrogated by heating the TFF to 70 degrees C for 1 h. The injection of TFF was also able to induce macrophage spreading in nude mice. Injection of viable B16 cells induced spreading, as would be predicted if TFF is produced by B16 cells in vivo. In vitro incubation of peritoneal cells with TFF was also able to induce macrophage spreading. Finally, subcutaneous injection of TFF reduced by 80% the accumulation of peritoneal cells in response to intraperitoneal injection of phytohemagglutinin. We suggest that one mode by which TFF facilitates tumor growth is by reducing the numbers of macrophages chemotaxing to the tumor site.
