Abstract
A genetically determined, polymorphic electrophoretic variant of thyroxin-binding alpha-globulin (TBG) is found in sera from populations of African and Oceania origin, although not in Caucasians nor Orientals. The TBG polymorphism is inherited in X-linked fashion, based on data from American blacks, and thus provides an X-chromosome marker with a relatively high gene frequency in this ethnic group (frequency of the slow allele, TBGs, is 11%). This slow variant should prove valuable in expanding the map of the X chromosome and in linkage studies. An additional family exhibiting X-linked TBG deficiency is also described.

Abstract
Twenty-seven subjects with a family history of Waardenburg's syndrome were examined with respect to 18 specific characteristics of the syndrome, with particular emphasis in identifying the spectrum of the phenotypic expression of affected persons. Our results indicate that patients with the syndrome may have a variety of clinical signs, and an accurate diagnosis will therefore depend on a thorough and pertinent family history and physical examination.

Abstract
The acupuncture treatment situation was beneficial to the majority of people with low back pain. This was shown by the use of short-term controls and long-term controls, although the latter were not intended in the study design. After acupuncture, there was a 51% pain reduction in the average pain score in the Immediate Treatment Group. The short-term controls, the Delayed Treatment Group, had no reduction whatsoever in their pain scores at the comparable followup period. Later, the Delayed Treatment Group bere also treated by acupuncturists, and reported 62% less pain. When these two treatment groups were compared at 40 weeks with long-term controls (Inadequate Treatment Group), the Inadequate Treatment Group still had the same pain scores, on the average, as when they enrolled in the study. Both treatment groups, on the average, had 30% lower pain scores. Furthermore, 58% of the treatment groups felt that they were definitely improved at 40 weeks, while only 11% of the Inadequate Treatment Group felt definitely improved at 40 weeks.

Abstract
The responsiveness of phasically active brainstem respiratory neurons to several amino acids was investigated in cats under Dial anesthesia. Four-barreled microelectrodes were used to extrude iontophoretically the putative neurotransmitters L-glutamate, L-asparatate, glycine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), L-glutamate and L-aspartate caused increased activity when applied to either inspiratory or expiratory neurons and appeared to be equal in efficacy. Likewise, GABA and glycine depressed ongoing phasic neural activity of both inspiratory and expiratory units. In this case, however, the dosage of GABA required to produce a given depression was significantly less than the required dosage of glycine. These findings support the hypothesis that L-glutamate and/or L-aspartate may act as excitatory neurotransmitter agents at the synapses of brainstem respiratory neurons and conversely, GABA may act as the natural inhibitory neurotransmitter.

Abstract
We detected genetically determined, electrophoretic variants of vitamin B12 binding proteins, most probably transcobalamin II, in human plasma. Polymorphic variants were observed in all populations tested; the two most common alleles (of at least four detected to date) attain frequencies of greater than 40% in Caucasians and Orientals. The variants are autosomally inherited and are seen as doublets in homozygotes, and four-banded patterns, the sum of two dissimilar homozygote patterns, in heterozygotes. The technique used in this survey, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) autoradiography of plasma and serum labeled in vitro with 57Co-vitamin B12 is particularly applicable to the study of trace proteins such as the transcobalamins (10(-9)M). Possible functional variation in the TC II allele products is described, and the selective significance of this worldwide polymorphism is considered.

Abstract
Trehalose-6,6'-dimycolate (cord factor; CF) injected into the peritoneal cavity of mice induced stimulation of the peritoneal macrophages, evidenced both by increased activity of the lysosomal enzyme, acid phosphatase, and by increased phagocytosis of Listeria monocytogenes. The increase in enzyme activity and phagocytosis was similar to that induced by killed or living BCG. When administered intravenously, CF or BCG did not induce stimulation of peritoneal macrophages. CF when added to tissue cultures of normal peritoneal cells did not induce increased acid phosphatase activity or increased phagocytosis of L. monocytogenes.

Abstract
The RNase-T1-resistant oligonucleotides of two Prague Rous sarcoma viruses with temperature-sensitive (ts) DNA polymerases (DNA nucleotidyltransferases), termed ts LA 337 and 335 of one leukosis virus, RAV-6, and 20 of their recombinant progeny have been mapped relative to the 3' poly (A) terminus of the viral RNA. The resulting oligonucleotide maps have been ocrrelated with markers of the four known viral genetic elements encoded in the RNA of 10,000 nucleotides. In accord with previous results recombinant RNAs contained (i) oligonucleotides characteristic of the src gene, coding for sarcoma formation, between the poly(A) end and 2000 nucleotides and (ii) olignucleotides characteristic of the env gene, coding for the envelope glycoprotein, between 2500 and 5000 nucleo tides from the poly(A) end. (iii) A cluster of four oligonucleotides that mapped between 6000 and 8000 nucleotides from the 3' poly(A) end of each RNA was shared by both parental viruses and all recombinants. Since all other map segments of our recombinants failed to segregate with the ts- or wild-type markers of the parental DNA polymerase gene (pol), it was concluded that the ts pol lesion maps in this RNA segment. (iv) The 5' segment of each recombinant RNA contained a cluster of four to five oligonucleotides whose parental origin correlated with an electrophoretic marker of one of the parental virion proteins, p27, a major product of the viral gag gene. The gene order 5'-gag-pol-env-src-poly(A) is consistent with our data.

Abstract
Pregnancy intervals were calculated for 54,369 later-born singletons delivered during 1969 in the State of North Carolina. Subsequent infant deaths among this cohort were categorized into probable sudden infant death syndrome (SIDSp), other postneonatal home deaths, all postneonatal hospital deaths, all neonatal deaths, and all deaths due to congenital malformations. Each death was matched with a control drawn from the population of infants surviving the first year of life. The matching variables were maternal age, race, mother's education and number of previous live births. All categories of death showed higher proportions of short intervals among cases than controls. Comparing the interval distributions by means of the X2 test for linearity produced significant results for only SIDSp and neonatal deaths. It was concluded, however, that short-pregnancy interval probably has a similar effect on the risk of death from all five cause of death groups. The introduction of birthweight as a fifth matching variable left no significant differences in the distributions of pregnancy intervals between cases and controls. This was interpreted as evidence that short pregnancy interval exerts its influence on risk of death in infancy through its effect on birthweight. The estimated reduction in prematurity and infant mortality that might result from the elimination of short pregnancy intervals was 5% and 6%, respectively.

Abstract
Chick embryo collagen-synthesizing polysomes were isolated by differential centrifugation. RNA extracted from these particles was chromatographed in oligo(dT)-cellulose solumns and the mRNA thus obtained characterized as collagen mRNA by its electrophoetical mobility in acrylamide gels (equivalent to 1.05 x 10-6 daltons) and its effect upon a cell-free system derived from Krebs ascites tumor cells. The incorporation of 3H-proline was markedly dependent upon rabbit reticulocyte initiation factors and inhibited by initiation inhibitors such as aurintricaboxilate and pyrocatechol violet. The incorporation product was characterized as collagen by its lack of tryptophan, digestibility by purified bacterial collagenase, and by its co-chromatography with unlabled chick collagen in Sephadex G-200 and CM-cellulose columns.
