Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether elevated midtrimester serum placental alkaline phosphatase levels are predictive of preterm delivery. STUDY DESIGN By use of banked serum specimens from a sample of women who had received maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein screening, placental alkaline phosphatase values for multiples of the median were obtained from 270 mothers who had experienced a preterm delivery and from 1598 mothers of term, appropriate-for-gestational-age infants. Specimens were analyzed for placental alkaline phosphatase by means of a monoclonal antibody enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Logistic regression was used to determine whether placental alkaline phosphatase was associated with preterm birth, while potential confounders were controlled for. RESULTS Women with placental alkaline phosphatase levels > or = 2.0 multiples of the median were significantly more likely to be delivered of a preterm infant in the current pregnancy compared with women with levels < 2.0 multiples of the median (odds ratio 2.9, 95% confidence interval 2.1 to 3.9). The likelihood of preterm birth increased significantly with higher multiples of the median (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Women with elevated placental alkaline phosphatase levels are at increased risk for preterm delivery. Additional studies are needed to evaluate the clinical utility of placental alkaline phosphatase testing as a means of identifying mothers at risk for preterm birth.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the association between combined monophasic oral contraceptive (OC) use and primary infertility. DESIGN Case-control. SETTING Women serving as controls of the Cancer and Steroid Hormone Study. PARTICIPANTS Women were 19 to 40 years of age at first conception or infertility diagnosis. Based on 24 consecutive months of unprotected intercourse without a recognized conception, 419 nulligravid women had primary infertility; controls were 2,120 fertile women. A calendar of each women's reproductive history was used to determine fertility status and contraceptive use before infertility diagnosis or first conception. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Primary infertility. RESULTS Combined monophasic OC use was associated with a lower frequency of primary infertility, particularly among younger (age 20 years) compared with older women (age 30 years) after adjusting for barrier method use and education. A similar association was found for duration of OC use. When adjusted for age at first conception or infertility and barrier method, both higher (> 50 micrograms) and lower (< or = 50 micrograms) estrogen dose use were associated with decreased risk of primary infertility. CONCLUSION Combined monophasic OC use was associated with a lower frequency of primary infertility.

Abstract
Germ cell tumors arising in the gonads, retroperitoneum, and mediastinum are occasionally overgrown by cancers of somatic type that are widely assumed to derive from the "malignant transformation" of included teratomatous tissues. These malignant, nongerminal neoplasms are typically chemoresistant, and their emergence is often associated with fatal treatment failure. Only rare, well-documented reports of sarcomatous transformation complicating intracranial germ cell neoplasia are on record. We describe two nongerminomatous germ cell tumors of the pineal region that underwent transformation into enteric-type adenocarcinoma. Both recurred in a locally aggressive fashion, one proving rapidly fatal owing to the development of multiple cerebral and cerebellar metastases and spinal leptomeningeal adenocarcinomatosis.

Abstract
The factors that may cause antigen-presenting cells to alter the pattern of protein processing and presentation to autoreactive T cells, and thereby stimulate autoimmune disease, are currently under debate. In this article, Chris Elson and colleagues suggest that cytokines associated with T helper 1 (Th1) cells alter the processing of proteins and that this effect can be counteracted by Th2-associated cytokines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with neuroendocrine-related tumors and paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis (PEM) or paraneoplastic sensory neuronopathy (PSN) develop high titers of antibodies, called anti-Hu, against neuronal proteins expressed in their tumors, usually small cell lung cancer (SCLC). These tumors appear to be more indolent than those not associated with anti-Hu antibodies. The aims of this study were to determine 1) if patients with neuroblastoma (NB) also have anti-Hu antibodies, 2) the correlation between antibody titer and survival, and 3) if coexpression of Hu antigens and major histocompatibility proteins (MHC) by the tumor correlates with the development of anti-Hu associated PEM/PSN: METHODS Using immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis, the sera of 109 patients with NB whose neurologic condition was concealed at the time of the study were examined for the presence of anti-Hu antibodies. The expression of Hu antigens and MHC proteins in 50 nonselected NB and 26 SCLC (16 known to be from seropositive and 10 from seronegative patients) was examined using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Four Stage 4 NB patients were seropositive and had longer survival (median 86 months) than 71 seronegative patients in the same age group and with the same tumor stage (median survival, 28.5 months). Seventy-eight percent of NB and all SCLC expressed Hu antigens. Overall, 17 of 20 tumors from seropositive patients expressed both Hu and MHC Class I proteins, but only 4 of 30 tumors from seronegative patients expressed both proteins (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS 1) Some patients with NB develop anti-Hu antibodies; a search for that type of tumor is indicated in seropositive children, 2) most NBs and SCLCs express Hu antigens but only a few are associated with anti-Hu antibodies, and 3) Class I MHC expressed by some Hu antigen-bearing tumors may play a role in the development of anti-Hu associated PEM/PSN:

Abstract
Salivary theophylline concentrations in neonates were measured by a homogeneous enzyme immunoassay and compared with serum concentrations. Free serum theophylline concentrations were also compared with salivary concentrations and the values obtained were almost identical. Results using the immunoassay agreed well with those obtained using a high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure (HPLC).

Abstract
Necrotising enterocolitis is the most common severe acquired gastrointestinal disorder in the neonate yet there remains disagreement on predictive and prognostic factors. A previously published risk score purports to predict infants at greater risk of the disease. Fifty-nine cases and 59 matched controls were evaluated using data from the first 24 h after birth to determine the predictive and prognostic value of the score for necrotising enterocolitis. In simple models the risk score was significantly, but inversely, associated with necrotising enterocolitis, primarily due to greater respiratory problems among controls. This finding contrary to the premise is clarified by a significant interaction of the risk score with feeding variables. Odds ratios for the risk score varied at different levels of daily feeding increments. However, the risk score was not statistically significant in any models which controlled for feeding increment and the interaction. The risk score was significantly associated with mortality among necrotising enterocolitis cases. Though the score was not statistically significant when the outcome was disease stage or surgery, trends were in the expected direction. The data suggest that the risk score itself may not be an independent predictor of necrotising enterocolitis, but may indicate infants more vulnerable to other potential risk factors and, in addition, may be related to prognosis for those who do develop necrotising enterocolitis.

Abstract
The IgG of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and mice with pristane induced arthritis (PIA) tends to lack the terminal galactose normally on the conserved N-acetylglucosamine linked beta 1-2 to mannose in IgG. The terminal N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues of oligosaccharides on agalactosyl IgG may be an important component of the action of these glycoforms. Here, administration of ovomucoid, a glycoprotein rich in terminal GlcNAc, before pristane injection was found to reduce the incidence of PIA. This observation is the second report of an intraperitoneally administered antigen that reduces the incidence of PIA, mycobacterial 65-kD heat shock protein (hsp65) being the first. The suppressive effect of ovomucoid was not transferred from protected to naive recipients by spleen cells at the dose tested. By contrast, transfer of spleen cells from hsp65-protected mice to naive recipients conferred protection and this protection may be antibody-mediated. It is considered that ovomucoid and hsp65 protect against the development of PIA by different mechanisms.

Abstract
Pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) is unique among the animal arthritides in that a non-infectious, non-antigenic oil induces a chronic immune based arthritis with a prolonged delay between exposure to the inciting agent and development of the disease. Mice with pristane-induced arthritis have elevated T cell and humoral responses to the 65 kDa heat shock protein derived from Mycobacterium bovis (hsp65) and in common with several other models of autoimmune diseases the incidence of PIA is markedly suppressed by preimmunisation with hsp65 in Freund's incomplete adjuvant (Thompson et al. (1990) Eur. J. Immunol. 20, 2479). Recent studies have investigated how autoimmune reactions to heat shock proteins are involved in the development of arthritis. Arthritic CBA/Igb mice given pristane alone develop antibodies to both hsp65 and GroEl (bacterial 60 kDa heat shock proteins) and to hsp58 (the mammalian equivalent). Moreover, the splenic T cells of such mice proliferate vigorously in response to both bacterial and mammalian 60 kDa heat shock proteins. Remarkably, the anti-hsp65 antibody response in normal mice rises rapidly with age, directly correlating with the age related incidence of PIA. In addition, specific pathogen free mice (SPF) maintained in an isolator have negligible anti-hsp65 responses but these convert to positive responses if the animals are exposed to the open part of the animal facility (Thompson et al. (1992) Arthritis Rheum. 35, 139).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
This is the first demonstration of a role for type II collagen in pristane-induced arthritis. Pretreatment with soluble type II collagen either lowers or raises the subsequent incidence and severity of pristane-induced arthritis. These effects are dependent upon both the dose and route of administration of the soluble type II collagen. Increasing doses of orally administered type II collagen lowered both the incidence and severity of pristane-induced arthritis. Conversely, increasing doses of intraperitoneally administered type II collagen increased both the incidence and severity of arthritis. This exacerbation of pristane-induced arthritis was accompanied by elevated B- and T-cell responses to type II collagen. These findings highlight the importance of the site at which antigen is encountered in influencing subsequent immune responses and extend the observations of the use of orally administered antigens to ameliorate experimental autoimmunity.

Abstract
Thirty-one epidemiologic studies published in the English literature since 1980 were reviewed to integrate the findings on effects of chronic industrial and traffic noise exposure on circulatory and cardiovascular diseases. Methodologic issues relevant to quantifying noise-induced risk are discussed. Although there has been some improvement over the decade, the quality of the research remains low. Cross-sectional studies continue to dominate. Studies to date show contradictory results, neither confirming nor invalidating the hypothesis that persons with prolonged exposure to high noise levels have an increased risk of high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. Prevalence ratios for hypertension between high and low noise groups range from 0 to 3.1. The more methodologically rigorous studies report the lower associations. Differences in mean blood pressures detected have been relatively small, ranging from 0-10 mm Hg. No consistent pattern of findings on cardiovascular effects other than blood pressure has been reported. It is concluded that the quality of the research remains inadequate or inadequately reported for quantifying noise-induced risk. Prospective studies whose design accounts for potential confounding variables and effect modifiers are required before useful inferences may be drawn.

Abstract
The effects of preimmunisation with the 65 kD mycobacterial heat shock protein (hsp65) on 2 murine models of autoimmunity were compared. Experimental autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) can be provoked in mice by repeated injection with rat red blood cells (RBC). In this model, preimmunisation with hsp65 10 days before induction of disease resulted in a partial, but significant, reduction in RBC-bound autoantibody levels measured by Coombs' test. However, preimmunisation with human IgG (hIgG) was associated with a similar suppressive effect. Administration of neither hsp65 nor hIgG affected the direct or indirect anti-rat agglutinin titres of mice subsequently injected with rat RBC. Injection of hsp65 or hIgG prior to induction of AIHA elicited the production of IgG antibodies against the respective immunogen, as judged by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. In contrast to the results in experimental AIHA, pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) was effectively prevented by preimmunisation with hsp65, but not with hIgG. It is considered that, whilst hsp65 injection may slightly reduce subsequent anti-RBC autoantibody production in AIHA by antigenic competition, such a mechanism cannot account for the substantial protection against PIA afforded by hsp65 preimmunisation. We suggest that the high, sustained production of anti-hsp65 antibodies observed in mice given hsp65 and pristane may play a role in specifically suppressing arthritogenic immune responses in PIA.

Abstract
In spite of a number of studies on necrotizing enterocolitis, there remains controversy concerning prevention regimens, especially with regard to enteral alimentation. This report is of a matched case-control study of the relationship of necrotizing enterocolitis to timing of first feeding, size of feeding volumes and increments, and a risk factor index in 59 case patients with necrotizing enterocolitis and 59 matched control patients. Comparison with control patients showed that case patients were fed earlier, received full-strength formula sooner, and received larger feeding volumes and increments. More highly stressed infants, as measured by the risk index, were more vulnerable to larger feeding increments. Among case patients there was significant correlation of age at first feeding and age at diagnosis (p < 0.0001) even after control for birth weight and risk index score, indicating that delayed feeding was related to delayed onset of disease. These analyses support the theory that earlier, more rapid feeding places stressed infants at greater risk for the development of necrotizing enterocolitis, and that infants with more severe respiratory problems are more vulnerable to such feeding practices.

Abstract
The effect of pregnancy on the incidence and severity of pristane-induced arthritis was examined along with the glycosylation status of IgG during the ante-natal and post-partum periods. It was found that pristane-induced arthritis is prevented by pregnancy. In addition, the levels of agalactosyl IgG fall during pregnancy but rise to greater than normal within a few days of parturition, before resetting towards the norm shortly afterwards. Interestingly, the level of agalactosyl IgG correlates with the severity of arthritis. As previously reported IL-6 may be an important factor, not necessarily the only one, in the production of agalactosyl IgG. Here it is clearly demonstrated that the kinetics of IL-6 activity post-pristane injection parallels the kinetics of agalactosyl IgG production. In addition, the overshoot in agalactosyl IgG levels immediately post-partum coincides with a burst in IL-6 activity. It is considered that these changes in IgG glycoform levels, or the factors which control them, may be related to the mechanisms underlying prevention/remission of arthritis during pregnancy.

Abstract
Mutation of the p53 gene is one of the commonest genetic abnormalities found in solid human tumours. This gene is probably concerned with the control of cellular proliferation and in view of this we carried out a study of human prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia, comparing the expression of mutated p53 with measurement of growth fractions as assessed by staining with Ki-67. A series of 29 patients with prostate cancer (CaP) were compared with 34 men with benign hyperplasia (BPH); 22 of 29 prostate cancers (76%) contained Ki-67 immunoreactivity compared with 10 of 34 (29%) BPH. With respect to p53 staining, significantly more prostate cancers (17%) were stained than BPH (0%). The mean Ki-67 score in cancers positive for p53 (4.3%) was greater than that found in cancers negative for p53 (1.2%), but no statistically significant relationship was found between tumour grade and Ki-67 staining. The use of Ki-67 and p53 staining may allow identification of tumours with a higher rate of cell growth and may permit development of prognostic factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between cigarette smoking and primary female infertility. DESIGN Retrospective, case-control study. SETTING Population-based and randomly selected from eight geographic areas in the United States. PARTICIPANTS Women, 20 to 54 years of age, who were randomly selected to serve as the control group of the Cancer and Steroid Hormone Study were used for this study. Within this group, there were 483 women who were classified as having experienced primary infertility and 2,231 women eligible to serve as controls. Primary infertility, defined as 24 consecutive months of unprotected intercourse without conception, was documented from a calendar of each women's reproductive and contraceptive history. RESULTS Smoking one pack of cigarettes per day (odds ratio = 1.36) and starting to smoke before 18 years of age (odds ratio = 1.30) were significantly associated with increased risk of infertility. Life table and proportional hazards analysis indicated that smoking did not significantly increase the time required to conceive among infertile women. CONCLUSIONS Number of cigarettes smoked and age when the women began smoking contributed to infertility in this study. It is reasonable, therefore, to recommend that women stop smoking when they are attempting to become pregnant.

Abstract
Joint swelling and tenderness in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) probably result from IgG aggregates activating complement with the consequent attraction of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) and the liberation of their granule enzymes such as kininogenases. By contrast IL-1 and TNF are the major stimulants of cartilage and bone loss although other agents contribute. The fundamental drive for the production of these mediators is unknown but a role for heat shock proteins is suggested from work on pristane induced arthritis.

Abstract
IL-6 titres in sera and peritoneal exudate fluids (PEF) derived from pristane injected DBA/1 and CBA/Igb mice were measured. Arthritic DBA/1 mice had significantly higher serum IL-6 titres than nonarthritic or normal mice at 160 days post pristane injection. By contrast, although both arthritic and non-arthritic CBA/Igb mice had higher serum IL-6 titres than normal mice, there was no significant difference in serum IL-6 titre between these two groups at day 200-230. In both strains of mice, the IL-6 titres in PEF were more than 10 times serum levels regardless of arthritis. As previously reported for CBA/Igb mice, agalactosyl IgG levels are raised in pristane injected DBA/1 mice and the percentage is higher in arthritic animals than that in non-arthritic mice. An association between serum agalactosyl IgG levels and PEF IL-6 in pristane injected DBA/1 was demonstrated. Moreover, the injection of recombinant IL-6 into normal mice increased their serum agalactosyl IgG levels. However, it is considered that IL-6 is not the only factor involved in the production of agalactosyl IgG.

Abstract
The effect of aurothiomalate in modulating the conversion of xanthine dehydrogenase to its superoxide producing oxidase form in rat and human liver cytosolic preparations has been investigated. Low concentrations (10(-8)-10(-5) mol.dm-3) of this second-line agent were found to inhibit the conversion of the dehydrogenase to its corresponding oxidase form. High concentrations (10(-4) mol.dm-3), however, accelerated this conversion. It is possible that the influence of aurothiomalate on the relative proportions of xanthine dehydrogenase and xanthine oxidase is a reflection of the gold(I) blockage of critical thiol(ate) or sulphido ligands present in this enzymatic system. These effects may form the basis of aurothiomalate's anti-proliferative action on endothelial cells.

Abstract
Several prominent mycobacterial protein antigens involved in antibody and T cell responses have been identified as members of highly conserved heat shock protein families. In particular, immune responses to the mycobacterial 65 kD heat shock protein (hsp65) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases both in experimental animal models and in man. Additionally, hsp65 has been shown to modulate the course of autoimmune disease in such experimental animal systems. In this report, we have examined the synthesis of heat shock proteins by a fast growing mycobacterial strain, M. vaccae, in heat stressed cultures and used the pristane induced arthritis model to investigate the immunoprophylactic and immunotherapeutic potential of heat killed M. vaccae. Heat shock of M. vaccae cultures at 48 degrees C demonstrated a 43-fold increase in hsp65 over that expressed at 37 degrees C. It is therefore suggested that heat killed M. vaccae contains sufficient hsp that can be presented in the context of appropriate adjuvant properties for use as an effective immunomodulatory agent. Immunisation experiments with M. vaccae revealed that protection or exacerbation of pristane induced arthritis was dependent on the dose (given in an oil or aqueous suspension), route and time of immunisation. In addition, it was demonstrated that the development of arthritis correlated with high levels of agalactosyl IgG and that "protected" animals had significantly depressed levels.

Abstract
We have analysed the cellular and humoral immunity to the mycobacterial 65 kD heat shock protein (hsp65) in groups of DBA/1 mice with arthritis induced by intraperitoneal injection of the mineral oil pristane. Here we confirm that DBA/1 mice are highly susceptible to pristane induced arthritis (PIA) and demonstrate that the incidence of arthritis can be modulated by either pretreatment with low dose irradiation or by preimmunisation with recombinant hsp65. Global cellular responses to antigens such as BSA or type II collagen were not enhanced or impaired within groups of arthritic (A) or non-arthritic (NA) mice. However, the cellular response to hsp65 in arthritic animals preimmunised with the 65 kD antigen was significantly elevated in comparison to hsp65 preimmunised mice that were resistant to the induction of disease. On the contrary, the level of hsp65 specific antibodies was much high in NA animals than in PIA mice. CBA/Igb mice are partially susceptible to the induction of PIA. We have previously reported that arthritic CBA/Igb mice have both elevated cellular and humoral reactivity to hsp65. Although a central pivotal role for hsp65 has been postulated in autoimmune diseases these results indicate that there is no simple relationship between the pathogenesis of PIA and immune responses to hsp65.

Abstract
The development of arthritis induced in mice by intraperitoneal injection of the non-antigenic mineral oil, 2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane (pristane), was shown to depend on an intact immune response possibly to a heat-shock protein (hsp) in the synovium. Initial experiments suggested that some crucial event in the development of arthritis takes place early after pristane injection. First, irradiated pristane-treated mice failed to develop arthritis unless they were reconstituted with spleen cells from normal donors within 25 days of irradiation. Second, mice irradiated up to 50 days after pristane injection, but not later, did not develop arthritis. Evidence for the involvement of an immune response to heat-shock protein (hsp) comes from the finding that mice injected with mycobacterial 65-kDa hsp prior to pristane challenge had a reduced incidence of arthritis in contrast to animals pre-immunized with the E. coli hsp equivalent GroEL or with bovine serum albumin. Other experiments revealed that T cells from mice with gross morphologically defined arthritis proliferated strongly to hsp65 and to normal joint antigens, whereas T cells from animals treated with pristane which did not develop arthritis gave much smaller responses. Mice which developed arthritis also had elevated levels of anti-hsp65 IgG in comparison with non-arthritic animals. These findings strongly suggest that autoimmune reactions to an antigen which cross-reacts with hsp65 are generated in pristane-induced arthritis. It is considered that the autoimmune response is directed to a synovial antigen and that pre-immunization with hsp65 protects the animals from the development of pristane-induced arthritis by altering the specificity or quality of the immune response to this antigen.

Abstract
Uncontrolled studies of avoidance of house dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) by atopic subjects have reported clinical improvement in the severity of eczema. The aim of the present study was to examine the temporal relationship between environmental exposure to the major mite allergen (Der pI) and clinical disease severity in children with chronic atopic eczema. Twelve children were identified as being house dust mite-sensitive on the basis of skin prick test and RAST to Der pI. They were examined on two occasions with a median interval of 63 days. Clinical severity of eczema improved in nine children and deteriorated in two children during this period. Der pI concentration in dust from mattresses changed significantly in only three subjects and there was no correlation between changes in clinical severity and changes in environmental Der pI exposure. Change in RAST against Der pI did correlate positively with change in Der pI exposure (rho = 0.56, P less than 0.05) but these changes were not associated significantly with changes in eczema severity or skin test response to Der pI. It is concluded that the observed changes in clinical severity were unlikely to be due to immediate hypersensitivity responses to natural variations in Der pI concentrations in the personal environments of these subjects.

Abstract
The expression of human nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor in tumors and normal tissue was investigated with the use of a monoclonal antibody recently developed against that protein. This antibody, NGFR5, reacted strongly with 100% of 25 nerve sheath tumors. Eight of nine pheochromocytomas and three of three paragangliomas also had positive results, but the immunoreactivity was restricted to the sustentacular cell population. Within cells of melanocytic lineage, there was no immunostaining of melanocytes in normal epidermis, whereas 13 of 14 benign nevi had positive results, primarily involving spindled nevocytic structures within the dermis. NGF receptor was scarcely expressed in human melanoma; 9 of 19 melanomas had positive results, but immunoreactivity was generally restricted to rare cells within the larger tumor cell population. Among nonneurogenic mesenchymal tumors, results were generally negative: 0 of 5 chondrosarcomas, 0 of 6 malignant fibrous histiocytomas, 0 of 3 meningiomas, and 1 of 8 leiomyosarcomas were immunoreactive. Carcinomas were variable in immunoreactivity: 12 of 16 squamous cell carcinomas had positive results, whereas adenocarcinomas demonstrated focal, basal epithelial immunoreactivity and neuroendocrine tumors generally had negative results. Among normal tissues, in addition to expected neural immunostaining, NGFR 5 reacted positively with several nonneural cell types, including lymphoidal follicular dendritic cells, myoepithelial cells, vascular adventitia, and basal epithelium of oral mucosa and hair follicles. Antibodies to NGF receptor may play a role in the identification of benign and malignant soft tissue lesions.

Abstract
An aqueous house dust mite extract was separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes by Western Blotting. Two major allergens, Der pI and Der pII associated with the mite faeces and body, respectively, were identified on the protein blot. The blot was then probed with atopic sera and the bound antibodies were labelled with 125I anti-IgE and visualized by autoradiography. Using this technique it is shown that serum samples from eczema patients contain a higher proportion of anti-mite body IgE antibodies, whereas those from asthma patients contain a higher proportion of antibodies against the major mite faecal allergen Der pI. Minor mite body allergens are also shown to be important in eczematous patients. The role of mite allergens in atopic conditions is discussed, along with the significance of the findings presented here.

Abstract
The natural production of Der pl, the major faecal allergen from the house dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus), was investigated. Mite cultures grown on radiolabelled substrate were examined at intervals over a period of 21 days and incorporation of radiolabel into the mite proteins measured over the time course. Mite proteins were extracted, purified by chromatofocussing and characterized by immunodiffusion, SDS-PAGE, electroblotting and autoradiography. The faecal allergen, Der pl, did not incorporate a significant level of label until the 14th day (p less than 0.05). The results suggest that Der pl is a protein synthesized and excreted by the house dust mite.

Abstract
The concentrations of serum IgE with specificity for the faecal and body allergens of the house dust mite, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, were compared in 69 children with various combinations of asthma, eczema and/or rhinitis. The concentration of IgE antibodies to the mite body was higher in those with eczema than those with asthma but the concentrations of anti-faecal antibodies were similar. Our results suggest that anti-mite body antibodies are characteristic of eczema and that sensitization to the body allergen may occur because of its passage through the skin.

Abstract
All field paramedic/patient encounters requiring advanced life support management in Multnomah County, Oregon, required radio/telephone communications with the emergency department physicians of the county's single medical resource hospital for a period of 6 months. A survey of these communications (compliance estimated to be 75% to 80%) demonstrated that paramedics established contact during management or transport in one-half of instances and after transport in the remainder. Consultation was estimated to be helpful in 12% to 17% of cases and of critical importance rarely. Additional benefits were seen in hospital notification, education, and as an adjunct to the medical record; and the concept of a single centralized resource hospital was established in this community.

Abstract
This paper summarises a number of studies of human strength in tasks of static whole body exertion. Measurements were made using a transducer bar which allowed the simultaneous recording of the vertical and horizontal components of any force applied to it by the subject. In each experimental condition, each subject exerted his or herself in all directions in the sagittal plane (ie, that plane which bisects an individual in the antero-posterior direction). Thirty conditions were investigated. Five heights of the bar above the ground, ranging from 1.75 m to 0.25 m, were tested. Various constraints were imposed upon the placement of the subjects' feet. In some conditions a 'ceiling' or 'wall' confined the subject. The results are presented in the form of diagrams which show the magnitude and direction of all possible force vectors in the sagittal plane.
