Abstract
The tolerance to the hypnotic effect of diazepam developed after a single exposure to diazepam in the presence or absence of cycloheximide, which blocks liver enzyme induction, was studied. At the high dose (30-35 mg/kg) used in this study, diazepam was found to be metabolized very rapidly in mice, consistent with previous findings using a much smaller dose (5 mg/kg). There was no significant difference in the pharmacokinetics of diazepam in control and tolerant mice as observed by monitoring the plasma and brain concentrations of diazepam and N-desmethyldiazepam. It is concluded that acute tolerance to diazepam in mice may not be attributed to changes in pharmacokinetic factors.

Abstract
We cloned MAK11, MAK18, and MKT1 utilizing their genetic map positions. The MAK11 gene is close to CDC16 on chromosome XI. Both genes were cloned on a single 7-kb fragment, and both have now been sequenced. The MAK18 gene is located close to PET3 on chromosome VIII. A large plasmid carrying PET3 was obtained from R. Elder and R.E. Esposito and was found to also have the MAK18 gene. The MAK16 gene has been subcloned and sequenced starting with a clone provided by J. Crowley and D. Kaback. The MKT1 gene was mapped near the gene for topoisomerase II. The topoisomerase II clone was used as the starting point for chromosome-walking to isolate MKT1. A deletion-insertion mutation (disruption) of MKT1 results in an inability to maintain M2, but does not affect M1 or L-A maintenance. Clones of SKI3 and SKI8 were selected using the cold sensitivity for cell growth of ski- M1 strains. The SKI8 gene was disrupted and found to be nonessential for cell growth in the absence of M double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The SKI3 and SKI8 genes were mapped using these clones. We have also obtained other clones suppressing the pathology caused by the high M titer in ski- strains. These clones are not the SKI genes themselves but somehow avoid the growth defect without repressing M copy number.

Abstract
From November 1981 to March 1984, 100 patients with esophageal varices bleeding were treated by endoscopic sclerotherapy. The combined peri and intravasal method was applied, using Äthoxysclerol as a sclerosant. The 79 cases were followed after sclerotherapy over a period ranging from 3 months to 26 months. The amount of transfused blood on presclerotherapy was 4–5 pints and in 2/3 cases 1–2 pints were needed on postsclerotherapy. Seven cases (8.1 per cent) had complications; 2 cases developed esophageal stenosis, 3 cases aspiration pneumonia, and 2 cases mediastinitis. Fortunately, all 7 cases recovered. Rebleeding occurred in 15 cases (19.0 per cent); namely 3 cases (3.8 per cent) within 6 months, 5 cases (6.3 per cent) in the period from 6 months to 12 months and 7 cases (8.9 per cent) after 12 months. During the follow up period, 14 cases died. Their causes of death were as follows: 6 cases died of hepatic failure, 5 cases died of hepatoma, and 3 cases expired from uncontrollable bleeding. Based on data, it appears to be possible to control the bleeding in 97 per cent of the esophageal varices bleeding on their (first) bleeding.

Abstract
A reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography method was developed to simultaneously estimate serum concentrations of dapsone (DDS), monoacetyldapsone (MADDS), and pyrimethamine (PYR) in 34 young adult Chinese men after they had taken the sixth weekly dose of Maloprim for malaria prophylaxis. Serum concentrations of DDS, MADDS, and PYR after 24 h were (mean +/- SEM) 374 +/- 31.3, 310 +/- 30.4, and 121 +/- 7.9 ng/ml, respectively. The 72-h serum concentrations of DDS, MADDS, and PYR were (mean +/- SEM) 134 +/- 21.6, 115 +/- 17.9, and 80 +/- 7.2 ng/ml, respectively. Serum concentrations of DDS and MADDS in many subjects after 120 h were less than 20 ng/ml, while mean +/- SEM concentration of PYR was 53 +/- 5.6 ng/ml. Acetylator phenotyping of the subjects showed that there were 31 (91%) fast acetylators, three (9%) intermediate acetylators, and no slow acetylators.

Abstract
The histamine H1 and/or H2-receptor agonists showed weak acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. Their dissociation constants (Kis and/or Kii) were 2-methyl histamine (Kis = 1751 mumol/l, s.e. = 163) less than 4-methyl histamine (Kis = 3551 mumol/l, s.e. = 414) less than dimaprit (Kis = 2931 mumol/l, s.e. = 605; Kii = 3668 mumol/l, s.e. = 901) less than histamine (Kis = 6480 mumol/l, s.e. = 1360). Both histamine H1 and H2-receptor antagonists showed stronger acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity. Their dissociation constants were ranitidine (Kii = 1.56 mumol/l, s.e. = 0.14) less than oxmetidine (Kis = 14.7 mumol/l, s.e. = 1) less than mepyramine (Kis = 178 mumol/l, s.e. = 23; Kii = 440 mumol/l, s.e. = 98) less than cimetidine (Kis = 199 mumol/l, s.e. = 12; Kii = 827 mumol/l, s.e. = 126). Using the ROSFIT programs for fitting data to common enzyme kinetic models, the inhibition caused by histamine, 4-methyl histamine, 2-methyl histamine, oxmetidine and neostigmine was of the competitive type. Mepyramine, cimetidine and dimaprit appeared to exhibit the modern non-competitive type of inhibition with their primary action on the enzyme rather than on the enzyme-substrate complex. Ranitidine seemed to act on the enzyme-substrate complex rather than the enzyme, conforming to the uncompetitive inhibition model. The clinical implications of acetylcholinesterase inhibition by cimetidine and ranitidine are discussed.

Abstract
The efficacy and safety of ceftriaxone in the treatment of bacteremic typhoid fever was studied in 14 patients. Ceftriaxone at a dosage of 50 to 60 mg/kg per day was administered intravenously in two divided doses in 13 patients and as a single dose in 1 patient. When the two patients with medical complications causing persistent fever and the patient who was febrile during therapy were excluded from the calculations, the mean period of defervescence was 4 days. Five to eight days of ceftriaxone therapy was adequate for the patients who were cured. The 14 patients treated with ceftriaxone included 13 patients who were considered cured, although 1 was a convalescent carrier, and one patient who was a treatment failure. There were no relapses in the 11 patients who were monitored for 1 to 8 months. Both peak and trough concentrations of ceftriaxone were well above the ceftriaxone MICs for the Salmonella typhi strains isolated from the patients. We have demonstrated that ceftriaxone can be used successfully in the treatment of typhoid fever in some patients. The advantages of its use include rapid clinical response, short course of treatment, and lack of serious adverse drug reactions.

Abstract
Cimetidine produced a dose-dependent and reversible inhibition of contractions of the nictitating membrane elicited through stimulation of the preganglionic nerve supplying the superior cervical ganglion in the anaesthetized cat. Postganglionic nerve stimulation resulted in only a slight and variable inhibition of the contractions. Both hexamethonium and cimetidine also produced a dose-dependent and reversible fall in arterial blood pressure. The ganglion blocking activity of cimetidine was much weaker than that of hexamethonium; the ED50 ratio (cimetidine:hexamethonium) calculated from the cumulative log dose-response curves for the two drugs was 64. The possible mechanism(s) of ganglion blockade produced by cimetidine is discussed including a possible action at nicotinic receptors, either directly or indirectly (via its anticholinesterase activity), and ion channel blockade. The clinical implications of cimetidine-induced ganglionic blockade are also discussed, especially with respect to sexual impotence associated with the use of cimetidine.

Abstract
We studied 16 adults with chronic bronchial asthma by measuring the plasma theophylline concentrations and evaluating clinically the control of asthma following oral administration of choline theophyllinate (CT) and a sustained-release theophylline preparation (SRT). All 16 patients were studied in 3 one-weekly phases. These patients received CT 200 mg t.i.d. during the 1st week, no theophylline during the 2nd week and SRT 250 mg 12-hourly during the 3rd week. All other anti-asthmatic medications were maintained during the study. After the night dose of a theophylline preparation, the mean plasma trough concentration the next morning was significantly higher for SRT (9.4 mcg/ml +/- SEM 1.0) than for CT (3.6 mcg/ml +/- SEM 0.6). The mean plasma peak concentration after the morning dose was also significantly higher for SRT (11.5 mcg/ml +/- SEM 1.0) than for CT (7.4 mcg/ml +/- SEM 1.0), The mean forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) obtained during SRT treatment was significantly higher than during CT treatment. There was no significant difference between FEV1 measured at trough concentrations during CT treatment and during the period without theophylline. The patients had fewer symptoms of asthma and fewer side-effects from theophylline during the week they received SRT compared with the week they received CT. In this study, using the conventional dosage schedule as practised in Singapore, SRT has distinct advantages over CT in the treatment of chronic asthma.

Abstract
Responses of the toad isolated rectus abdominis muscle to cumulative doses of acetylcholine were recorded in the absence or presence of varying concentrations of cimetidine, ranitidine or oxmetidine. The corresponding cumulative log concentration-response curves for acetylcholine were then plotted for each antagonist studied. Cimetidine (5 mmol/l), ranitidine (1 mmol/l) and oxmetidine (0.02 mmol/l) potentiated the effect of acetylcholine by 4-fold, 2.6-fold and 1.3-fold, respectively. At higher concentrations all three histamine H2-receptor antagonists produced a concentration-dependent and non-parallel shift of the acetylcholine curve to the right of the corresponding control curve accompanied by a depression of the maximal response. The results provide further evidence that the H2-antagonists studied possess anticholinesterase activity and also suggest that the H2-antagonists may produce neuromuscular blockade by ion-channel block. The clinical implications of the results obtained are also discussed.

Abstract
A comparative study was made using renal biopsy specimens obtained from US and Korean patients with lupus nephropathy. Significant differences were observed in the morphologic distribution and activity of the disease. Korean patients exhibited a higher frequency of World Health Organization class IV lupus nephropathy (77.8%) than black (47.2%) or white (42.1%) US patients (P less than 0.025, P less than 0.05, respectively), and a higher inflammatory intensity index (P less than 0.045) than US patients. Korean patients also showed a significantly lower frequency of WHO class III nephropathy (P less than 0.05). No significant morphologic differences were seen between the US white and black patient populations. These data suggest that the Korean patients had a more active and potentially more fulminating disease than the US patients. Whether differences in genetic and external causative factors play a role in the observed differences in renal histopathology among these groups remains to be clarified.

Abstract
The renal biopsy findings of 60 adults with idiopathic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) were reviewed in order to determine the clinicopathological significance of renal hyaline arteriolosclerosis (HA) in FSGS. 36 biopsies (60%) exhibited a definite HA [HA (+)] in association with high levels of proteinuria (p less than 0.0024) and serum creatinine (p less than 0.0316) and a high frequency of global sclerosis (p less than 0.0014) when compared to the remaining 24 biopsies without definite HA [HA (-)]. 14 (39%) of these HA (+) biopsies showed continuity of afferent arteriolosclerosis with hyalinosis of the adjacent glomerular axial segmental sclerosis. These results suggest that HA (+) patients with FSGS show more severe disease than HA (-) patients, and there is a possible relationship between FSGS and HA.

Abstract
In this study we examined the distribution of two different endogenous opioid peptides in the nucleus of the solitary tract of the rat medulla. As a marker for immunoreactive enkephalin, we used an antiserum directed against one of the proenkephalin products, methionine enkephalin-arg-gly-leu (m-Enk). To identify immunoreactive dynorphin we used an antiserum directed against the prodynorphin product, dynorphin B (Dyn B). The PAP method was used on both colchicine and normal animals. Caudal to the obex, within the commissural nucleus, there is extensive overlap of both immunoreactive m-Enk and Dyn B terminals and cells. While the cells are morphologically similar, the immunoreactive dynorphin cells are somewhat larger. Rostral to the obex, there is a marked difference in the distribution of the two compounds. Immunoreactive m-Enk terminals are concentrated medial to the solitary tract; there is minimal staining laterally. In contrast, immunoreactive Dyn B terminals are concentrated lateral to the solitary tract. The rostral cellular distribution of the two opioid peptides follows a similar pattern. The morphology of the medially located m-Enk and laterally located Dyn B cells is also readily distinguished. The former are small, round cells with minimal dendritic labelling; the latter are larger, pyramidal neurons with prominent apical and basal dendrites. Since the medial and lateral nuclei of the solitary tract have been associated with cardiovascular and respiratory control, respectively, these data suggest that different endorphin families have different functional actions within the nucleus of the solitary tract.

Abstract
Evaluation of the course of lupus nephropathy by serial kidney biopsy in 50 patients revealed a complex pattern of transitions from one histologic class to another. A high rate of transformations (56 percent) was observed, with fewer than half the patients remaining in the original category. Although the general trend was towards transformation to a less severe lesion (WHO classes III and IV transforming into classes II and V), this was certainly not the rule for all individual classes. These transformations were rarely predictable on the basis of available clinical, laboratory, or pathologic information, and were less common in younger patients. These results help clarify the pathologic behavior of lupus nephropathy in the modern therapeutic era and highlight the value of pathologic examination for the planning and evaluation of therapy in selected patients.

Abstract
In order to increase the detection efficiency and also reduce the interdetector spillage, a new wedge-shaped BGO scintillation detector array is proposed. By shaping the front part of a detector as a wedge, the absorption path becomes longer, particularly for obliquely incident photons, thereby improving the uniformity in the sensitivity for the incident photons of different angles. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed detector shape, a Monte Carlo simulation was performed and the results are presented.

Abstract
When Y-1 mouse adrenal tumor cells were treated with sodium orthovanadate, an agent disrupting BHK21-F cell microtubule-intermediate filament (IF) interactions, there was no change in the amount of 20-dihydroprogesterone produced. A neurofilament-microtubule perturbing agent, beta,beta-iminodipropionitrile (IDPN), enhanced the ability of Y-l cells to produce steroid in response to ACTH by acting on the plasma membrane. Electron microscopy of Y-l cells extracted with Triton X-100 revealed that both vanadate and IDPN caused the aggregation of granular structures in the perinuclear area. Based on the steroidogenic effects of IDPN, perinuclear granule aggregation may result from an altered interaction between intermediate filaments, microtubules and the plasma membrane. The reason for the ultrastructural changes caused by vanadate is unknown.

Abstract
In a study with 113 Asian children in which phenobarbitone was used as the sole antiepileptic drug in 75 children, including Chinese, Malays, and Indians, the mean phenobarbitone dosage required to produce a plasma level of 15 micrograms/ml was 5.2 mg/kg/day. While the mean plasma level/dose ratio varied, the differences between the three ethnic groups were not statistically significant. Also of little difference were the ratios between the male and female groups. For those patients with poor seizure control, however, the mean plasma level/dose ratio was significantly lower than in those whose seizures were controlled. Using additional anticonvulsant drugs concurrently with phenobarbitone in 40 children raised the mean plasma level/dose ratios significantly in each ethnic group. Further, the greater age level in those given additional antiepileptic drugs might have contributed slightly to a higher mean plasma level/dose ratio.

Abstract
We have previously described an idiotype (Id460) that transiently dominates anti-2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) antibody responses of mice that possess the appropriate Igh-V and V kappa genotypes. Normal serum has significant levels of Id460 that does not bind DNP, and hybridomas derived from spleen cell fusions that produce monoclonal antibodies with these characteristics have been generated. Many of these monoclonal, Id460-positive antibodies bind the opportunistic mouse pathogen Pasteurella pneumotropica. P. pneumotropica induces a marked increase in serum Id460 titers without significantly increasing serum anti-DNP titers. Both normal serum and P. pneumotropica-induced Ig460-positive immunoglobulin specifically bind to P. pneumotropica. These results suggest that the normal serum Id460-positive immunoglobulin is induced by environmentally encountered antigens on P. pneumotropica. We propose that this naturally occurring Id460 activates antiidiotypic regulatory cells that in turn promote production of Id460-positive anti-DNP antibody following DNP-ovalbumin immunization. These data are compatible with those obtained in several other idiotypic systems that suggest that dominant idiotypes may be associated with antibodies that have been evolutionarily selected for expression because of their specificity for antigens on environmentally encountered pathogens.

Abstract
In blowfly salivary glands, 5-hydroxytryptamine stimulated a rapid and sustained loss of [3H]inositol, [32P]phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. There was a corresponding increase in labeled inositol phosphates. In the absence of Ca2+, 5-hydroxytryptamine stimulated a rapid but transient loss of labeled phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. By 5 min, the amount of labeled phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate recovered to control values. The divalent ionophore A23187 stimulated loss of labeled phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and increased the amount of labeled phosphatidylinositol. In homogenates, Ca2+ stimulated phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate breakdown but not phosphatidylinositol breakdown. These results suggest that hormone-stimulated breakdown of labeled phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate occurs through a phospholipase C and is relatively independent of extracellular Ca2+. There is also a Ca2+-activated conversion of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to phosphatidylinositol.

Abstract
Forty-two (42) children with asthma, 7 to 15 years old, who had been taking aerosol medications from canister nebulizers for longer than 6 months were evaluated for adequacy of aerosol inhalation technique. The mouthpiece of a canister nebulizer was modified so that actuation of the canister and inhalation through the mouthpiece could be recorded. Of 42 patients, 24 had correct inhalation technique (they synchronized the actuation of canister and inhalation); 18 (43%) did not. The most frequent mistake (11 patients) was releasing the aerosol into the mouth without inhaling. Those who inhaled incorrectly were taught the correct technique by repeated instructions and demonstrations; 11 learned it within 5 minutes, but 7 required a longer instruction period. Most had retained the technique when retested later. The physician should teach each patient the correct technique when aerosol therapy is started and should check again on follow-up examinations to assure that the patient obtains maximum benefit from aerosol therapy.

Abstract
Total skin electron beam therapy (TSEB) was used in the treatment of 33 patients with lymphoma and 13 patients with leukemia involving extensive segments of the skin surface. Twenty-two of 23 had skin lesions as a primary manifestation of lymphoma (primary cutaneous lymphoma--PCL) and 11 developed cutaneous lesions following disseminated nodal lymphoma (secondary cutaneous lymphoma--SCL). A once weekly fractionation scheme was employed to irradiate the entire skin surface with 3.5 to 4 MeV electron beam from a 6 MeV linear accelerator. During each weekly session, 400 rad were delivered to the entire skin and a complete course consisted of 4-6 consecutive weekly sessions. The majority of patients have been previously treated elsewhere for various periods and all patients have been at risk for a median of 12 months, range from 12-117 months following TSEB. Striking predominance of the diffuse pattern (76%) was demonstrated in both the PCL and SCL. There was extracutaneous involvement in 63% (13/22) of the PCL, nodal or visceral at onset of TSEB; median follow-up was 24 months, range 6-117 months; 20/22 (90%) of all patients obtained prompt relief of symptoms and complete regression of cutaneous lesions. Duration of cutaneous remission ranged from 6-96 months, median 18 months; in general, duration was adversely influenced by the presence of visceral involvement at onset of TSEB. Although cutaneous response among the patients with SCL and leukemia was equally good, many of these patients were treated for palliation because of rapid progression of their disease. Once weekly treatments were highly effective, well-tolerated and no untoward immediate or late effects have been noted in the bone marrow or normal skin irradiated.

Abstract
Salivary-gland homogenates contain 5-hydroxytryptamine-stimulated adenylate cyclase. Half-maximal stimulation was obtained with 0.1 microM-5-hydroxytryptamine in the presence of added guanine nucleotides. Gramine antagonized the stimulation of cyclase caused by 5-hydroxytryptamine. In the presence of hormone, guanosine 5'-[gamma-thio]triphosphate produced a marked activation of adenylate cyclase activity. Stimulation of adenylate cyclase by forskolin or fluoride did not require the addition of guanine nucleotides or hormone. In the presence of EGTA, Ca2+ produced a biphasic activation of cyclase activity. Ca2+ at 1-100 microM increased activity, whereas 2000 microM-Ca2+ inhibited cyclase activity. The neuroleptic drugs trifluoperazine and chlorpromazine non-specifically inhibited adenylate cyclase activity even in the absence of Ca2+. The cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in homogenates was not affected by Ca2+ or exogenous calmodulin. This enzyme was also inhibited by trifluoperazine in the absence of Ca2+. These results indicate that Ca2+ elevates adenylate cyclase activity, but had no effect on cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase of salivary-gland homogenates.

Abstract
1. The perfused guinea-pig lung in vitro released a total of 290 +/- 24 nmol choline after 65 min. At the end of perfusion, there were 525 +/- 36 nmol choline and 11.6 +/- 0.5 mg lecithin per g of lung tissue. 2. When perfused with 1:2-(14) C-choline at 20 nmol (20 nCi)/ml for 70 min, the level of choline in the perfusion fluid remained at 20 nmol/ml; but 65% of radioactivity was abstracted by the lung. 21% of the sequestered radioactivity was in choline phospholipids, chiefly lecithin. 3. The p-terphenyl analogue of hemicholinium no. 3 (TPHC-3), when added into the perfusion fluid at concentration 30 nmol/ml, increased significantly both the 14C-choline uptake and the conversion of 14C-choline to 14C-lecithin in the lung. However, it did not change the total tissue concentration of choline and lecithin in the lung. 4. The lung seems to have separate uptake and release mechanisms for choline and these are in equilibrium. 5. The effects of TPHC-3 on the lung in this study may be secondary to its respiratory depressant action.

Abstract
1. A simple method for lecithin estimation was developed. Phospholipids in rabbit tissues were extracted with chloroform and methanol. 2. The samples were chromatographed with eluting solvent system; chloroform:methanol:glacial acetic acid:water (100:25:8:1.1). Lecithin was identified by the spray reagent as blue spots and the intensities were quantitated with a densitometer. 3. The concentration of lecithin in the various rabbit tissues varied from 2.8 to 10 mg/g tissue. The sequence of increasing lecithin concentration was heart less than kidney less than lung less than liver less than brain. 4. Recovery experiments of added lecithin into the tissues showed a recovery of 91-104%.

Abstract
In a study of 30 Chinese epileptic children, 43% had poor seizure control. The average daily dose of phenytoin was 6.1 +/- 0.53 mg/kg, and the mean plasma level was 4.2 +/- 0.63 microgram/ml, as determined by the enzyme immunoassay (EMIT) method. The phenytoin plasma level (microgram/ml) versus daily dose (mg/kg) ratios in 73% of these patients were below 1. The average daily dose of phenobarbitone was 5.1 +/- 0.36 mg/kg, and the mean plasma level was 24.8 +/- 1.7 microgram/ml -- also estimated by EMIT. Only one patient showed adverse effects. Poor seizure control in patients was chiefly due to subtherapeutic concentrations of phenytoin, which cannot be attributed to poor patient compliance. The presence of phenobarbitone might have accelerated phenytoin metabolism, or the drug could have been lost through sweating. The pharmacokinetics of phenytoin in these Chinese children may be genetically different and might have caused the subtherapeutic phenytoin levels.

Abstract
Franklin-Silverman needles, commonly used for liver biopsies, were used for biopsy of synovia of 75 joints. The results indicate a higher percentage of success in obtaining pathologic specimens than with previously reported instruments. Complications were rare, with only milk transient hemarthrosis being found in 5 cases. For an accurate diagnosis, multiple specimens should be obtained since single specimens are too small to interpret histopathologically. Being simpler and safer, the Franklin-Silverman needle biopsy is recommended as a routine procedure for early diagnosis of synovial diseases of the joint in conjunction with joint aspiration. The success rate depends not only on the type of needle used but also on the proper selection of the biopsy site.

Abstract
The cardiovascular effects of benzquinamide were evaluated in anesthetized dogs. Intravenous benzquinamide, 0.5 to 5 mg/kg, caused tachycardia, elevated blood norepinephrine levels, frequent ventricular arrhythmias, and brief hypotension. Ganglionic blockade by hexamethonium prior to administration of benzquinamide prevented the tachycardia and alterations in norepinephrine levels but prolonged the period of hypotension. In isolated mesenteric arterial preparations benzquinamide interfered with contractile force generated by potassium chloride, norepinephrine, and prostaglandin F2 alpha. It is concluded that benzquinamide directly relaxes vascular smooth muscle thereby producing in vivo reduced peripheral vascular resistance and hypotension, which are compensated for by reflex sympathetic activation.

Abstract
Only few researchers pay systematic attention to what patients may have to say about their treatment experience during psychiatric hospitalization. This study not only delineates the various therapeutic aspects of an open psychiatric inpatient unit based on the patients' comments, but also attempts to correlate the data with the objective outcome of treatment rated clinically by the therapists and independently by the author. Positive patient-therapist relationship has been found to be the most significant factor correlated closely with the treatment outcome. The correlation may support the relevance of the patients' comments regarding subjectively perceived therapeutic benefits vs. objective actual benefits.

Abstract
Casein epsilon-aminolysyl residues were converted to the methyl (and dimethyl), isopropyl or cyclopentyl derivatives in high yield with formaldehyde, acetone or cyclopentanone, respectively, in the presence of sodium borohydride. When incorporated into diets at 10% as the sole protein source, the chemically modified caseins failed to support growth of young rats. Methyl casein did, however, support limited growth after about 5 days. Plasma threonine levels increased and lysine levels decreased markedly in rats fed the alkyl caseins. The respective alkyllsine derivatives were present in plasma and urine. In another experiment, nearly normal or normal growth was obtained by feeding lysine-supplemented methyl or isopropyl casein, respectively. A preparation of partially methylated casein, containing approximately equal amounts of monomethyl- and dimethyllysines, supported normal rat growth. These results demonstrate that lysine deficiency was produced by feeding highly alkylated caseins. Digestibility of the chemically modified caseins in vivo was not affected, although in vitro studies with trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin showed lowered digestibility. Since no apparent toxicity was observed limited methylation of food proteins may be useful for protection of lysyl residues against deteriorative reactions during processing and storage.

Abstract
Affinity adsorbents for flavoproteins were prepared by the covalent attachment of polyacrylamide and agarose to flavin derivatives linked through position N(3) of the flavin nucleus. 3-Carboxymethyl-FMN covalently linked to aminoalkyl substituted agarose was successfully used for the separation and purification of the apo form of the ovoflavoprotein from chicken egg white. High yields and high purities were achieved by two different isolation procedures employing the affinity adsorbent.
