Abstract
BACKGROUND The patch test has become the standard method of investigating patients with allergic contact dermatitis. Many countries have developed standard screening allergens to make patch testing more efficient. A series of the Chinese Standard Screening Allergens were studied and modified. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the frequency of contact allergies in suspected allergic contact dermatitis and tested the practicality of the Chinese Standard Screening Patch Test Allergens. METHODS A total of 1,135 patients suspected of having allergic contact dermatitis were patch tested. Three hundred twelve (27.5%) were men, and their age ranged from 2 to 75 years old (mean age, 34.3 years), 823 (72.5%) were women, and their age ranged from 2 to 76 years old (mean age, 33.0 years). Nanjing Medical University supplied the Chinese Standard Screening Allergens and Finn-Chamber. All patients were patch tested according to the Chinese Standard Screening Patch Test Allergens with Finn-Chamber the protocol as established by the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG). RESULTS From the 1,135 patients suspected to have allergic contact dermatitis, 650 (57.3%) had at least one positive reaction. Nineteen (95%) of the Chinese Standard Screening Patch Test Allergens had positive reactions higher than 1%. Of 485 patients with negative reaction to the Standard Allergens, 106 patients were tested with other suspected contactants according to history. Thirty-nine (36.8%) had positive reactions to the contactants they provided. The total positive rate therefore increased by 3.4%. CONCLUSIONS Our study results indicate that the Chinese Standard Screening Patch Test Allergens are suitable for use in routine clinic in China.

Abstract
The availability of high quality cDNA libraries is often crucial to the successful identification and characterization of genes. The concepts and potential pitfalls of constructing cDNA libraries are presented. Various applications requiring high quality cDNA libraries are outlined, including large-scale single pass sequencing of cDNA clones to generate expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and differential screening of cDNA libraries. The usefulness of combining such approaches for the discovery of novel disease-related and cardiovascular-based ESTs (CVBest) is discussed.

Abstract
In order to determine the mechanism for delayed increase in Fructose 2,6-P2 in livers of refed rats, the time course of changes in various metabolites upon refeeding NIH or high sucrose diet was investigated. Kinetics of increase in Fructose 2,6-P2 and Xylulose 5-P were similar but different from hexose 6-P or glycogen in the livers of 48 h starved rats refed with NIH diet. The increase in the Fructose 2,6-P2 level was a result of a combination of changes in Fructose 6-P,2-kinase and Fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase activity ratios, indicating dephosphorylation of the bifunctional enzyme and decreased cAMP. A similar correlation between Fructose 2,6-P2 and Xylulose 5-P and dephosphorylation was observed with refeeding high sucrose diet and also with 16 h starved rats. These kinetic results are consistent with the idea that a specific protein phosphatase 2A, activated by Xylulose 5-P, dephosphorylates Fructose 6-P,2-kinase:Fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase and also decreased protein kinase A activity, resulting in increased hepatic Fructose 2,6-P2.

Abstract
The glucose-stimulated rise in Fru-2,6-P2 in liver results from xylulose 5-P activation of a specific protein phosphatase 2A which dephosphorylates Fru-6-P,2-kinase:Fru-2,6-bisphosphatase (Nishimura, M., and Uyeda, K. (1994) J. Biol. Chem. 269, 26100-26106). In order to determine the role of xylulose 5-P in regulating Fru-2, 6-P2 in liver, the effect of fatty acids, various hexoses, and hormones was examined in perfused rat liver and in intact rats. When 24-h starved rat livers were perfused with acetate, butyrate, or propionate, Fru-2,6-P2 and xylulose 5-P decreased to the same extent and at similar rates. The activity ratios of the kinase and the phosphatase changed in a reciprocal manner, indicating that the phosphorylated form of the enzyme was increased by the fatty acids perfusion. The fatty acids caused the similar changes in the metabolites and the phosphorylation state of the bifunctional enzyme in livers of fed animals. Fructose, galactose, or mannose perfusion in starved rat liver increased both Fru-2,6-P2 and xylulose 5-P and converted the bifunctional enzyme to the dephospho form. Both the Fru-2,6-P2 and xylulose 5-P levels in rats fed a high fat diet decreased over 50% compared to that in control rats. These results indicated a close correlation between Fru-2,6-P2 and xylulose 5-P levels and the phosphorylation state of fructose 6-P, 2-kinase:fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase. Fatty acid inhibition of glucose metabolism can be explained by a decrease in xylulose 5-P, which lowers xylulose 5-P-activated protein phosphatase 2A activity, resulting in more phosphorylated form of the bifunctional enzyme and consequently lower Fru-2,6-P2.

Abstract
E1 Tor Vibrio cholerae (EVC) strains may be classified into two kinds-epidemigenic (EEVC) strains and non-epidemigenic (NEEVC) strains-based on a phage-biotyping system. A large number of EEVC strains have been screened for toxigenic and putative colonization attributes. One such naturally occurring strains (designated IEM101) has been found which is devoid of genes encoding cholera toxin (CT), accessory cholera enterotoxin (ACE), zonula occludens toxin (ZOT), but possesses RS1 sequences and toxin-coregulated pilus A gene (icpA) although icpA is poorly expressed. It expresses type B pili but does not possess type C pili. It is an E1 Tor Ogawa strain and does not cause fluid accumulation in rabbit ilcal loop tests. Active immunization of rabbits with strain IEM101 elicited good protection against challenge with virulent strains of V. cholerae O1. Oral administration caused no side effects in 15 human volunteers, colonized the gut for four to ten days and elicited good immune responses.

Abstract
From the dried roots of Panax ginseng two new minor dammarane saponins named koryoginsenoside-R1 and -R2 were isolated, along with fourteen known saponins. On the basis of spectral and chemical evidence, the structure of the new saponins were elucidated as 6-O-[trans butenoyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-20-O-beta-D- glucopyranosyl dammar-24-en-3 beta,6 alpha,12 beta,20(S)-tetrol and 3-O-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl]-20-O-[beta-D- glucopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D-glucopyranosyl] dammar-22-en-3 beta,12 beta, 20(S),- 25-tetrol, respectively.

Abstract
The effect of herbal preparation "Composite Dong Yuan Gao" (CDYG) on the animal model of drug dependence was studied. After the morphinistic models of white rats and mice were made by ever increasing doses of morphine each time, the animals were divided into large dose CDYG group, small dose CDYG group, sustained morphine group, and control group. The withdrawal symptoms were observed after naloxone was given to the animals intraperitoneally. The results showed that in the CDYG groups withdrawal symptoms of the addicted white rats were alleviated, the number of jumps of the addicted mice was reduced, the scores of the principal symptoms of the animals were decreased, while the body weights of the animals were gained. Comparing with the control group, the difference was significant (P < 0.01). The effects of the CDYG enhanced in the large dose group, which suggests that the CDYG has abstinence effects.

Abstract
A protein having a high-affinity binding site for [3H]mepyramine (MBP) was purified to homogeneity from rat liver membranes. The purified MBP has a single type of binding site for [3H]mepyramine with Kd value of 18.5 nM, and its molecular weight was determined to be 56,000 by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Amino acid sequences of twelve tryptic peptides derived from MBP are highly homologous with those of rat debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase (cytochrome P450 2D1) and other rat P450 2D subfamily members. In immunoblotting analysis, an antibody against rat P450 2D1 stained a band corresponding to MBP with Mr of 56,000; its migration position was clearly different from that of rat P450 2D1. Substrates and inhibitors of debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase potently displace [3H]-mepyramine binding to MBP. Quinine and quinidine showed 400 and 80 times, respectively, higher affinity for MBP than for debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase. These results suggest that MBP is a novel P450 2D family member.

Abstract
16S rRNA gene, a highly conservative gene in molecular evolution, was labeled with digoxigenin-11-dUTP by PCR. Using it as a probe, we investigated the 16S rRNA gene restriction patterns (16S rRNA GRP) of S. typhi after their chromosomes were digested with Pst I. Results show that the Pst I 16S rRNA GRP appears obvious polymorphism in strains of distinctive sources. The fragments containing 16S rRNA gene are sized 7.0-26.5kb in 16S rRNA GRP of Pst I. 119 strains can be divided into 38 ribotypes. Most of the strains causing outbreaks from Dalian in 1990 and strains isolated during the pandemic from Yili, Xinjiang in 1991 have the same ribotype; some ribotypes contain epidemic strains which are from different geographic areas; some strains from sporadic cases have their unique ribotypes. We also find the 16S rRNA GRP with Pst I of S. typhimurium rather different from that of S. typhi. Data from further analysis of Pst I ribotypes by mean-linkage clustering method show that pandemic strains, outbreak strains and epidemic strains cluster at 0.55 in genetic distance; nonepidemic strains and strains from sporadic cases gather to form another cluster at 0.70 in genetic distance. Ribotype of strain 251, which was isolated forman asymptomatic carrier is different from the two clusters. The ribotype of S. typhimurium is apparently far distant, comparing with that of S. typhi.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report three cases of possible foscarnet-induced neurologic sequelae. CASE SUMMARY We report two cases of seizures and one case of hand cramping and finger paresthesia after starting foscarnet therapy with no evidence of predisposing risk factors, such as serum laboratory abnormalities, renal dysfunction, or known central nervous system (CNS) involvement. All three patients had stable laboratory values during therapy and when the neurologic adverse effects occurred. All patients were receiving appropriate dosages of foscarnet. DISCUSSION The incidence of seizures in AIDS patients was reviewed. A history of CNS lesions, infections, and/or AIDS per se may increase the risk of a neurologic adverse effect while receiving foscarnet therapy. Acute ionized hypocalcemia may cause these neurologic adverse effects. Ionized hypocalcemia is transitory, is related to the rate of foscarnet infusion, and may not be reflected as a change in total serum calcium concentration. CONCLUSIONS Foscarnet probably contributed to the neurologic adverse effects reported here. Foscarnet may need to be administered at a slower rate than is recommended by the manufacturer. Electrolytes must be monitored closely; however, a neurologic adverse effect may not be foreseen.

Abstract
PCR was used to detect (HPV) in condyloma acuminata (CA), pseudocondyloma whose cause is unclear, and the other benign lesions in female genital tract. The results showed that HPV prevalence rate in CA was 98.2%, type 6 was in 11 was 85.7%, and that in pseudocondyloma, cervical polyp, cervical erosion and chronic vaginitis was 40.4%, 76.2%, 77.3% and 16.0%, respectively. Even in normal vaginal tissue, there existed HPV subclinical infection. HPV prevalence rate in swabs from patient's underwears and normal vaginal tissues was 73.6% and 54.0% respectively. The investigation of estrogen receptor (ER) in CA tissue carried out by immunohistochemical method found that positive ER was achieved in most of CA, and few of normal vulvar tissues was found. This result indicated that the occurrence of CA is probably related to estrogen.

Abstract
Angiographic findings of 47 patients with pulmonary artery involvement (PAI) in aortoarteritis are described together with the diagnostic evaluation of PAI and its clinical implications. Pulmonary arteriography was obtained by intravenous digital subtraction angiography in 133 patients with aortoarteritis; 45 (33.8%) were found to have PAI. Two patients with PAI, studied by conventional arteriography, are also included. Stenosis and/or occlusion of segmental and/or lobar pulmonary arteries, and subsegmental branches, were the basic angiographic findings in PAI. Pulmonary artery branches in the upper lobes were more commonly affected than those in the lower and middle (lingula) lobes. Bilateral lesions were more common than unilateral ones. Single lobar and segmental lesions were quite rare. Dilatation was uncommon. No main pulmonary artery involvement was detected. Pulmonary artery hypertension, a late complication of patients with PAI, was revealed in 9 of the 46 patients of the present series. If it occurs, PAI becomes a factor effecting the patient's clinical course and prognosis.

Abstract
In 10 Wistar male rats, partial hepatectomy was performed and followed by intraperitoneal injection of DEN (30 mg/kg) once and giving drinking water containing 80 ppm sodium fluoride (36 ppm F) for 14 weeks. By stereologic method of enzyme histochemistry, it was observed for the first time that the foci of hepatocytic precancerous enzyme alterations (gamma-GT positive, ATPase negative and G-6-Pase negative) were significantly increased in number and size compared with the negative control group. The results suggest that sodium fluoride promoted the growth of precancerous lesions of the liver induced by DEN in rats, and this has provided some data to the understanding of the relationship between fluorosis and neoplasms.

Abstract
We have reported the presence of a histamine synthesizing enzyme, histidine decarboxylase (HDC), and histamine degrading enzymes, histamine N-methyltransferase (HMT) and histaminase (diamine oxidase, DAO) in human nasal mucosa and the histamine content of the mucosa. In this study, we demonstrate the influences of the toluene diisocyanate (TDI) treatment on the histamine content and these enzyme activities in guinea-pigs as an animal model of respiratory hypersensitivity. Application of TDI to the nasal vestibuli induced intense nasal allergy-like and mild asthma-like responses in TDI-sensitized guinea pigs. Increases in the histamine content and HDC and HMT activities were observed in the nasal mucosa and lung of TDI-sensitized guinea pigs. No apparent changes in the histaminase activities were observed in either the nasal mucosa or the lung. These data suggest that the turnover rate of histamine is increased in the nasal mucosa and the lung of guinea pigs with respiratory hypersensitivity.

The in vitro invasiveness of LA1, LAD, LA5 variants of mouse lung adenocarcinoma (LA795) with different metastatic potentials were examined. Precultured heart fragment (PHF) was used as the target organ, and spheroid aggregates of LA1, LAD, LA5 cells were prepared by cultivation of cell suspension on a gyratory shaker. The invasion-complex was formed by confronting of the PHF and cell aggregate. The invasion-complex was then examined at different time intervals histologically and morphometrically. The micro-computer-aided image analysis system was employed to measure the total area (TA) of the invasion complex and the tumor tissue area (subarea, SA). The ratio of SA/TA was used in estimating the invasion ability. It was shown that the invasion of LA1, LAD and LA5 was progressive in nature and the invasive capability of these three variants were correlative with their metastatic potentials.

Abstract
A rat histamine H1 receptor gene which lacked introns was isolated from a rat genomic library using recently cloned bovine histamine H1 receptor cDNA [Yamashita et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 88, 11515-11519 (1991)]. The receptor protein deduced from this isolated gene was composed of 486 amino acids and showed characteristic properties of G protein-coupled receptors. At the 5'-flanking region of the receptor gene, we have located potential TATA box sequences and consensus sequences for the glucocorticoid response element and AP-2 element. After being subcloned into a mammalian expression vector, the isolated gene was transfected to C6 glioma cells. These cells showed significant binding toward [3H]mepyramine. The binding was inhibited by H1 antagonists or histamine. The mode of this binding was comparable to the binding of membranes derived from rat tissues toward [3H]mepyramine. Northern blot analysis detected a 3.0 kb nucleotide band for histamine H1 receptor mRNAs from rat brain and small intestine when these mRNAs were hybridized with the isolated rat H1 gene. The present results demonstrate the isolation of the rat histamine H1 receptor gene.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report a case of didanosine (ddI)-induced acute thrombocytopenia and to discuss the incidence of this occurrence. CASE SUMMARY A 42-year-old man was admitted to the hospital on November 21, 1991, with acute thrombocytopenia. The patient had an AIDS index diagnosis of Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in 1988 and had been taking zidovudine (ZDV) for three years without any adverse effects. On July 26, 1991, he complained of increasing fatigue and weight loss. At that time, the therapy was changed from ZDV to ddI. Over the next four months the drug therapy was altered from ddI to ZDV and ZDV to ddI because of increasing fatigue and gastrointestinal symptomatology; all of the other chronic medications were maintained at the same dosages and frequency. All laboratory work remained stable and no new active processes were found during this period. The patient developed acute thrombocytopenia upon his last change to ddI and all of the chronic drug therapy was stopped. His platelet count returned to his baseline value three weeks after the discontinuation of ddI and reinstitution of his chronic medications. DISCUSSION A review of the literature showed two documented cases of thrombocytopenia with ddI on a dosage escalation study. CONCLUSIONS Close patient monitoring is essential while administering ddI.

Abstract
[3H]Mepyramine, a potent antagonist of the histamine H1 receptor, has been widely used as a radioligand binding assay for the H1 receptor. Previously, we purified a mepyramine binding protein (MBP) from rat liver, but found that its partial amino acid sequences were very similar to those of debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase isozymes (P450 db1 and db2), which are members of the superfamily of cytochrome P450. Using cloned histamine H1 receptor cDNA, we found that [3H]mepyramine could bind only the H1 receptor and did not bind MBP in the presence of 10(-5) M quinine, an inhibitor of debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase isozymes. We developed a method to determine the contents of the H1 receptor and MBP separately using [3H]mepyramine and quinine and found that MBP is abundant in certain areas of bovine brain.

Abstract
The presence of the acetylcholinesterase neurons and substance P-like and enkephalin-like fibers in the various nuclear columns of the ventral horns of the spinal cords was studied in the developing human by acetylcholinesterase histochemistry and substance P and enkephalin immunohistochemistry. Acetylcholinesterase-positive neurons initially appeared in the lateral neuronal columns and eventually were also observed in the medial columns as well as the median columns at various levels of the spinal cord by 10 weeks' gestation. Acetylcholinesterase-positive neurons in the lower sacral levels were not detected until 11-12 weeks' gestation. Diffused substance P- and enkephalin-like fibers were demonstrated as early as 10 weeks' gestation but did not align with any particular nuclear column until after 15 weeks' gestation. These fibers further increased in length and adopted reticular branching patterns and many of these tended to surround the cell bodies of the nuclear columns. Possible interaction of acetylcholinesterase neurons and substance P and enkephalin fibers would commence by 15 weeks' gestation.

Abstract
According to the difference of light reflection of tissue with different degree of viability, spectacles were made from glass permitting light of certain wavelength to pass to help distinguish viable from nonviable tissue. They were used in debridement of wounds in 300 patients. The results showed that the quality of debridement was improved as evidenced by better healing and shorter healing time. These spectacles were helpful, especially for young and unexperienced operators to distinguish viable from nonviable tissue. They were also used to predict flap viability in plastic surgery.

Abstract
This experiment was designed to provide a biological basis for early reconstruction of maxillofacial defects caused by firearms using free vascularized flap transfer. The pathologic changes of small-vessel injury, injury mechanism, and the feasibility for early anastomosis of these vessels in the maxillofacial region following high-velocity missile wounds were studied. Dogs' faces were wounded by a steel sphere, weighing 0.7 g and 1.03 g, with an initial velocity of 1,300 m/s or 1,500 m/s. Angiography and high-speed x-ray photography were used to record the effect of injury to blood vessels and other tissues. The pathologic changes in the small blood vessels in the wounds were studied by light microscopy (LM) and electron microscopy (EM). Anastomosis of small vessels in the wound was performed at different times after injury. There were temporary cavity effects and small vascular injury in the wounds. The pathologic changes of the small vessels included microthrombus formation, endothelial loss, breaks in the internal elastic layer, and necrosis. Degeneration of cells was found to end 3 cm from the wound edge. Anastomosis of the vessels performed 3 days after injury provided good short-term patency. These results suggest that the operation for repairing facial defects should be performed 3 days after injury.

Abstract
Aorto-arteritis is one of the commonest vascular diseases in China as well as in Japan and other parts of Asia. The results of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in 50 patients with aorto-arteritis are reported, and the merits and demerits of intravenous (IV) DSA in the diagnosis of this entity are evaluated. Among the 51 studies performed on 50 patients, IV DSA was used in 48, intraarterial (IA) DSA in 3, and good-to-excellent visualization was obtained in 96% of patients. Aorto-arteritis of varying severity and involving the thoraco-abdominal aorta, the iliac arteries, and other major branches was clearly demonstrated by IV DSA. IV DSA, as compared to our previous experience with conventional arteriography in this entity, may be substituted for conventional arteriography in most patients. A large dose of contrast media needed for a complete study is a major deficiency of IV DSA, and it also has limitations for showing the intrarenal arterial branches.

Abstract
Acute toxicity of mitoxantrone (DHAQ) synthetized by Department of Organic Chemistry, School of Pharmacy, WCUMS was studied in mice and dogs. The toxic effects were compared with those of adriamycin (ADR). The LD50 were 6.6 +/- 1.3 and 7.1 +/- 1.6 mg/kg DHAQ, 7.9 +/- 2.1 and 10.7 +/- 2.2 mg/kg ADR (P = 0.95) respectively on observation with a single dose i.v. and i.p., for 21 days in Kunming mice. The toxicity appeared to be delayed with DHAQ and ADR. The earliest death occurred on 4th day after treatment in mice. In the third week still a few died. There were obvious decreases in WBC counts in the peripheral blood of mice receiving either 1-2.5 mg/kg DHAQ or 2.5-5 mg/kg ADR with a single dose i.p.. The WBC count could return to normality after 3 weeks with the withdrawal of the drugs. On electron microscopic examination of myocardial samples from mice 4 days after a single dose of 20 mg/kg DHAQ i.p., mitochondria swelling and vacuoles formation in some cells were shown. Besides the above-mentioned changes, some myocytes exhibited disorientation and loss of myofilaments in the mice which received equivalent dose of ADR. In dogs anaesthetized a temporary falling of blood pressure and slowing of heart rate were observed following 5-10 mg/kg DHAQ i.p.. When a dose of 50-100 mg/kg was given, the blood pressure dropped continuously until death.

Abstract
The mutagenicity of domestic new drugs amrinone and milrinone were studied by Ames test, micronucleus test of mouse bone marrow and chromosome aberration assay in CHO cells. The results were as follows: neither amrinone nor milrinone was mutagenic in the Ames test; in chromosome aberration assay, both gave positive results; in mouse micronucleus test, amrinone gave a positive result when mice were exposed to 0.8 LD50 dose, but milrinone gave a negative result. These results suggested that amrinone and milrinone did not induce gene mutation, but amrinone induced chromosome damage both in vitro and in vivo, while the chromosome-damaging activity of milrinone in vitro may be minimized by biodetoxication in vivo.

Abstract
On the basis of experimental study on 17 dogs, this paper reports on the variation of serum creatine kinase (SCK) with time in the early phase of wounding by spherical steel bullets at three different velocities and its relation with the kinetic energy absorbed by the tissue and with the amount of the excised necrotic tissue surrounding the wound tracks. The results showed that the energy absorbed by the tissue and the amount of the excised necrotic tissue surrounding the wound tracks increased with increasing velocity. Within a period of 6 hours after wounding the SCK activity increased correspondingly.

Abstract
Plasma cortisol concentrations were measured in nine dogs after high-velocity missile injury induced by spherical steel bullets. All nine dogs sustained soft-tissue wounds in the thighs without damage to large vessels, femur, or nerves. When the dogs were considered as one group the mean plasma cortisol concentration increased promptly 10 min after injury (p less than 0.05) and reached its peak at 1 hour and then decreased. The mean concentration at 6 hours after injury was still higher than that before injury (p less than 0.05). Even though the severities of the injuries varied rather much there was a significant difference (p less than 0.01) between the plasma cortisol concentrations at 1 hour of the two groups into which the dogs were divided according to the severity of their injuries. The changes of the plasma cortisol concentrations may be parallel with the extent of the injuries and there was a positive correlation with the dimensions of the entrance wounds.

Abstract
The characteristics of the soft-tissue wounds of the hind legs of 155 dogs produced by stainless steel spheres with four different masses and at various impact velocities were observed. It was found that when the mass of the spheres was identical, the velocity became the main factor to determine the severity of the damage; when the mass of the spheres was different but their kinetic energy was similar, then a smaller but faster sphere produced more severe damage than a larger but slower one. Shallow but wide and severe wounds usually resulted. The rate of disability of extremities with such wounds was very high. These wounding properties of steel spheres have caused some new problems in the treatment of war injuries.

Abstract
The wounding effects of small fragments of the same weight (0.44 gm) but different shapes and at different impact velocities (708-1,560 m/s) on the soft tissues of the hind legs of 156 dogs were studied. The experiments showed that velocity was the major factor in causing wounds. For fragments of the same shape, the energy transmission, volume of wound cavity, sectional areas at entrance and exit, and amount of tissue that had to be excised increased rapidly with increasing velocity. In particular, as the velocity reached about 1,500 m/s, a shallow and wide wound tract was liable to occur, peripheral tissue lesion was relatively apparent, even extended to the whole leg, and the rate of occurrence of bone fracture was high. The wounding effect of the shape of the fragment closely related to its sectional specific weight (W) and drag coefficient (CD). Given the weight of the projectile and the density and thickness of the tissue, the energy transmission (delta E) was directly proportional to the square of the velocity and to the drag coefficient, and inversely proportional to the sectional specific weight of the fragment. Therefore, under certain conditions, reducing the sectional specific weight often increased the drag coefficient, in favour of causing a wound. In this experiment, the extent of wounds caused by the triangular, the square, and the cylindrical, and the spherical fragments decreased in that order, in agreement with their values of sectional specific weight and drag coefficient.

Abstract
Cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies to somatostatin, designated S10 and S20, have recently been generated. The purpose of the present immunoneutralization study was to examine the ability of these antibodies to block the inhibitory effect of exogenous somatostatin on meal-stimulated gastric acid secretion in the innervated rat stomach and to use these antibodies as probes to determine if somatostatin is involved in intestinal fat-induced inhibition of gastric acid secretion. The plateau acid secretory response to a liver extract meal in this model was 28 +/- 2 mu Eq/30 min. Intravenous infusion of somatostatin at 2.0 micrograms/kg X h or intraduodenal oleic acid at 1.2 ml/h reduced this response to 12 +/- 1 and 14 +/- 1 mu Eq/30 min, respectively. The antibodies were given intravenously 1 h before the meal and either somatostatin or intraduodenal oleic acid infusion. S10 preinfusion returned the plateau meal responses to the levels seen with the meal alone: 25 +/- 4 and 26 +/- 1 mu Eq/30 min, respectively. S20 preinfusion had no effect, the responses being 14 +/- 1 and 16 +/- 1 mu Eq/30 min, respectively. These results demonstrate successful binding of exogenous somatostatin by S10 in vivo and reversal of intestinal fat-induced inhibition of gastric acid secretion by S10 preinfusion. It is concluded that the mechanism whereby fat in the small intestine inhibits gastric acid secretion may involve the release of somatostatin.
