Abstract
The concentration of mouse kidney histidine decarboxylase (HDC) is modulated by estrogen, testosterone, and thyroxine in a tissue-specific manner. Variation in HDC levels between strains of mice can be used to investigate the genetic regulation of enzyme structure, tissue specific expression, and induction and repression by hormones. Variation in the structure of HDC between different inbred strains of mice affecting its Km for the cofactor pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) and its heat stability has been discovered. The alternative phenotypes are additively inherited in crosses and the heat stability difference is due to alleles of a single structural gene, Hdc-s, which segregate among the BXD and BXH recombinant inbred strains. The allele Hdc-sb determines the heat-stable phenotype (C57BL substrains), and the allele Hdc-sd the heat-labile phenotype (DBA/2 and C3H/He strains). The alleles of the structural gene cosegregate with alleles of a regulatory gene previously named Hdc (determining kidney enzyme concentration); there were no recombinants among 38 RI strains. Therefore the two loci are less than 0.685 cM apart and comprise part of the HDC gene complex, [Hdc], on chromosome 2 of the mouse.

Abstract
Three cases of a heterofore undescribed neoplasm of major salivary glands morphologically similar to giant cell tumor of bone are presented. All tumors were located in the parotid gland of adult individuals, and all patients are alive and well following surgical excision. One of the three cases was associated intimately with a malignant mixed tumor (carcinoma in pleomorphic adenoma). Ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies failed to provide conclusive evidence about the specific nature of the tumor cells. The major salivary glands should be added to the long list of organs in which extraskeletal giant cell tumors have been observed, whether alone or in association with an epithelial malignancy.

Abstract
Mouse kidney histidine decarboxylase (HDC) provides a model system to study genetic control of a hormone-regulated enzyme (inducible by estrogen and thyroxine; repressible by testosterone). Five major HDC phenotypes scored on the basis of (i) enzyme activity and (ii) the difference in activity between the sexes (females usually higher than males) have been discovered by screening 38 strains of mice. One genetic difference between high-activity strains (DBA/2 and C3H/He) and low-activity strains (C57BL/6 and C57BL/10) has been examined in detail. The phenotypic difference segregates as a single gene in both conventional crosses and between recombinant inbred (RI) strains. Immunoprecipitation has shown that the activity difference is due to an alteration in the number of enzyme molecules. The phenotypic difference between high and low strains can therefore be attributed to different alleles of a single regulatory locus, Hdc; the allele Hdcb determines low HDC concentration, and the allele Hdcd high concentration. Hdc has been mapped to chromosome 2 using data from both comparisons of strain distribution patterns of previously mapped loci within RI strains and a conventional three-point cross. The probable gene order is B2m-pa-Hdc, with map distances of 3.1 +/- 1.7 and 2.0 +/- 1.4 cM, respectively.

Abstract
We have studied the prostaglandin synthesis of the pregnant and non-pregnant rabbit uterus in a microsomal membrane preparation, and in an ex vivo perfused uterus preparation which retains agonist stimulated prostaglandin production. In both the microsomal and isolated perfused system, prostacyclin was the major arachidonic acid metabolite produced; PGE2 was also produced in substantial quantities while TxB2 and PGF2 alpha were not detectable. Moreover, oxytocin was a specific stimulus of PGE2 release. The steroid hormone milieu influenced the level of agonist stimulated prostaglandin release; in general, ovariectomized, estrogen treated animals were more responsive to agonist stimulation than those treated with estrogen followed by progesterone. The microsomal studies indicated that the pregnant animal had a greatly enhanced capacity to metabolize arachidonic acid when compared with the non-pregnant animal. However, this was not reflected in the ability of agonists to stimulate prostaglandin release in the ex vivo perfused preparation.

Abstract
The thymidine labeling index (TLI) was measured in vitro in the epithelium and stroma of benign prostate glands and seminal vesicles and in the epithelium of prostatic adenocarcinomas. The mean epithelial TLI of normal peripheral (posterior) prostatic zone was 0.12 per cent, and that of the normal central (deep) zone was 0.11 per cent. Mean normal stromal TLI's were 0.08 per cent and 0.06 per cent, respectively. The mean TLI of epithelium in nodular hyperplasia was 0.31 per cent, which differs significantly from normal epithelium (p less than 0.05), and the mean stromal TLI was also increased (0.16 per cent, p less than 0.1). The mean TLI of prostatic adenocarcinomas was 0.90 per cent (range 0.14 to 3.90 per cent) which was significantly higher than for either normal epithelium (p less than 0.001) or epithelium of nodular hyperplasia (p less than 0.05). Trends of increasing TLI with increasing histologic grades and increasing nuclear size and numbers of nucleoli were not significant. The data support participation of both epithelial and stromal proliferation in nodular hyperplasia, and indicate a low basal proliferative rate in normal prostatic glands. The low TLI's of prostatic adenocarcinomas relative to other malignancies are consistent with their frequently slowly progressive course. The very low proliferative rate of seminal vesicular epithelium (mean TLI 0.02 per cent) may account for the rarity of seminal vesicular carcinomas.

Abstract
Adenomatoid metaplasia, or so-called nephrogenic metaplasia, is an uncommon alteration of urothelium associated with prior trauma and/or chronic infection. Although the majority of reported cases of adenomatoid metaplasia have involved the urinary bladder, two cases of patients in whom the metaplastic changes were present in tissue from prostatic resections are presented. The fact that both patients had undergone prior transurethral resections of the prostate further supports the association between adenomatoid metaplasia and trauma. Confusion of adenomatoid metaplasia with prostatic ductal carcinoma in one of the cases emphasizes the importance of the recognition of this lesion. The distinction of adenomatoid metaplasia from ductal carcinomas and from other benign proliferative lesions in the prostatic urethra is discussed.

Abstract
To determine predictors of TNM relapse and survival for 108 patients with epidermoid carcinoma of the pyriform sinus, the histopathologic features of tumor-related and host-related characteristics were correlated with primary and/or cervical nodal failure, distant metastases, and actuarial three-year survival. Patients in this study received preoperative irradiation and partial laryngopharyngectomy (PLP) or total laryngopharyngectomy (TLP) with en bloc radical neck dissection. Higher rates of local failure were observed in patients with keratinizing tumors (34 vs. 15%), with tumors having an "infiltrating" tumor-stromal interface (30 vs. 14%), with positive surgical margins in PLP or TLP specimens (30 vs. 16%), and with extranodal extension of tumor (39 vs. 22%). The development of distant metastases was significantly correlated with nonkeratinizing carcinomas (30 vs 11%, P = 0.02), and was observed more often in patients with positive lymph nodes (17 vs. 7%). Patients with negative surgical margins in PLP or TLP excision (50 vs. 21%, P = 0.01) survived significantly longer.

Abstract
A carcinosarcoma of the prostate was examined by light and electron microscopy. The epithelial component was comprised of adenosquamous carcinoma. The stromal component demonstrated osseous and cartilaginous differentiation, and appeared mesenchymal by fine structure analysis. Despite aggressive therapy the patient died with disseminated disease 5 months after diagnosis.

Abstract
We report a case of Wegener granulomatosis presenting as a destructive urethral mass. The initial clinical impression was carcinoma, and a urinary diverting procedure was considered before the correct diagnosis was established. The importance of recognizing this unusual disease and its dramatic response to appropriate therapy are emphasized.

Abstract
Two cases of verruciform xanthoma of the vulva are described. This rare lesion, previously reported to occur only in the oral cavity, is characterized by a verrucous epithelial proliferation accompanied by xanthoma cells distributed exclusively in the papillary dermis. The histologic features of the lesion are diagnostic and include (1) regular acanthosis in which the rete pegs extend to a uniform level into the dermis; (2) hyperkeratosis with parakeratosis often extending deep into the rete pegs and manifesting a massive neutrophilic infiltrate; (3) hyalinization of the collagen and infiltrates of xanthoma cells that are restricted to the papillary dermis between the rete pegs. Additionally, a lichenoid inflammatory infiltrate is seen at the periphery of the verrucous lesions, and in one case this has the pattern of classic lichen sclerosus. Verruciform xanthoma must be differentiated from verruca vulgaris, condyloma acuminatum, granular cell tumor with pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, and verrucous carcinoma.

Abstract
Intraductal carcinomas of the prostate comprise about 3 per cent of all prostatic carcinomas and constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors that include 1) transitional or squamous cell carcinoma, 2) intraductal adenocarcinoma, 3) endometrioid carcinoma and 4) mixed ductal carcinoma. Generally, these tumors are poorly responsive to endocrine and radiation therapy, and complete surgical excision offers the best chance for long-term survival. A case of intraductal adenocarcinoma is presented that illustrates many of the features of these tumors.

Abstract
Tumor and tumor-like lesions of the thymus, excluding Hodgkin and nonHodgkin lymphomas, are among the least frequent mediastinal tumors in childhood. For this reason the diagnosis is often overlooked. The clinical and pathologic features of four thymus related masses, three of which were thymomas and one a thymic cyst, are reported in children between the ages of five and 15 years. The thymic cyst occurred in a child with a five year history of aplastic anemia. A rapid clinical course to death occurred in all four cases. The behavior of these lesions is compared with that described in the literature. The impression exists that thymomas in the pediatric age group are much more aggressive than those in adults. There are also some signifant differences in their histopathologic appearance.

Abstract
Characterization of the donor and acceptor specificities of mRNA guanylyltransferase and mRNA (guanine-7-)-methyltransferase isolated from vaccinia virus cores has enabled us to discriminate between alternative reaction sequences leading to the formation of the 5'-terminal m7G(5')pppN-structure. The mRNA guanylyltransferase catalyzes the transfer of a residue of GMP from GTP to acceptors which possess a 5'-terminal diphosphate. A diphosphate-terminated polyribonucleotide is preferred to a mononucleoside diphosphate as an acceptor suggesting that the guanylyltransferase reaction occurs after initiation of RNA synthesis. Although all of the homopolyribonucleotides tested (pp(A)n, pp(G)n, pp(I)n, pp(U)n, and pp(C)n) are acceptors for the mRNA guanylyltransferase indicating lack of strict sequence specificity, those containing purines are preferred. Only GTP and dGTP are donors in the reaction; 7-methylguanosine (m7G) triphosphate specifically is not a donor indicating that guanylylation must precede guanine-7-methylation. The preferred acceptor of the mRNA (guanine-7-)-methyltransferase is the product of the guanylyltransferase reaction, a polyribonucleotide with the 5'-terminal sequence G(5')pppN-. The enzyme can also catalyze, but less efficiently methylation of the following: dinucleoside triphosphates with the structure G(5')pppN, GTP, dGTP, ITP, GDP, GMP, and guanosine. The enzyme will not catalyze the transfer of methyl groups to ATP, XTP, CTP, UTP, or to guanosine-containing compounds with phosphate groups in either positions 2' or 3' or in 3'-5' phosphodiester linkages. The latter specificity provides an explanation for the absence of internal 7-methylguanosine in mRNA. In the presence of PPi, the mRNA guanylyltransferase catalyzes the pyrophosphorolysis of the dinucleoside triphosphate G(5')pppA, but not of m7G(5')pppA. Since PPi is generated in the process of RNA chain elongation, stabilization of the 5'-terminal sequences of mRNA is afforded by guanine-7-methylation.

Abstract
A purified enzyme system isolated from vaccinia virus cores has been shown to modify the 5' termini of viral mRNA and synthetic poly(A) and poly(G) to form the structures m7G(5')pppA- and m7G(5')pppG-. The enzyme system has both guanylyltransferase and methyltransferase activities. The GTP:mRNA guanylyltransferase activity incorporates GMP into the 5' terminus via a 5'-5' triphosphate bond. The properties of this reaction are: (a) of the four nucleoside triphosphates only GTP is a donor, (b) mRNA with two phosphates at the 5' terminus is an acceptor while RNA with a single 5'-terminal phosphate is not, (c) Mg2+ is required, (d) the pH optimum is 7.8, (e) PP1 is a strong inhibitor, and (f) the reverse reaction, namely the formation of GTP from PP1 and RNA containing the 5'-terminal structure G(5')pppN-, readily occurs. The S-adenosylmethionine:mRNA(guanine-7-)methyltransferase activity catalyzes the methylation of the 5'-terminal guanosine. This reaction exhibits the following characteristics: (a) mRNA with the 5'-terminal sequences G(5')pppA- and G(5')pppG- are acceptors, (b) only position 7 of the terminal guanosine is methylated; internal or conventional 5'-terminal guanosine residues are not methylated, (c) the reaction is not dependent upon GTP or divalent cations, (d) optimal activity is observed in a broad pH range around neutrality, (e) the reaction is inhibited by S-adenosylhomocysteine. Both the guanylyltransferase and methyltransferase reactions exhibit bisubstrate kinetics and proceed via a sequential mechanism. The reactions may be summarized: (see article).

Abstract
The sequences m7G(5')pppGm-and m7G(5')pppAm-are located at the 5' termini of vaccinia mRNAs. Two novel enzymatic activities have been purified from vaccinia virus cores which modify the 5' terminus of unmethylated mRNA. One activity transfers GMP from GTP to mRNA and is designated a GTP: mRNA guanylyltransferase. The second activity transfers a methyl group from S-adenosylmethionine to position 7 of the added guanosine and is designated a S-adenosylmethionine: mRNA (guanine-7-)methyltransferase. Advantage was taken of the selective binding of these activities to homopolyribonucleotides relative to DNA to achieve a 200-fold increase in specific activity. The guanylyl- and methyltransferase remained inseparable during chromatography on DNA-agarose, poly(U)-Sepharose, poly(A)-Sepharose, and Sephadex G-200 and during sedimentation through sucrose density gradients suggesting they were associated. A Stokes radius of 5.0 nm, an S20,w of 6.0 and a molecular weight of 127,000 were obtained by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and sedimentation in sucrose density gradients. Under denaturing conditions of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis two major polypeptides were detected in purified enzyme preparations. Their molecular weights of 95,000 and 31,400 suggested they were polypeptide components of the 127,000 molecular weight enzyme system.

Abstract
RNA guanylyl and methyl transferases have been solubilized from vaccinia virus cores. The guanylyl transferase specifically adds a GMP residue to the 5'-terminus of unmethylated vaccinia virus mRNA to form the structures G(5')ppp(5')Gp- and G(5')ppp(5')Ap-. Studies with [alpha-32P]GTP and [beta, gamma-32P]GTP indicated that only the alpha-phosphate is transferred. In the presence of S-adenosylmethionine, the methyl transferases convert the blocked 5'-termini to m7G(5')ppp(5')Gmp- and m7G(5')ppp(5')Amp-. Similarly, the enzymes can modify synthetic poly(A) to form the structure m7G(5')ppp(5')Amp-.
