Abstract
Six children with multiple handicaps were treated as a pilot group by a physical therapist, occupational therapist, and a speech/language pathologist. Baseline evaluations were obtained through a compilation of traditional developmental tests. A Goal Attainment Scale technique was introduced to facilitate reevaluation of the children. The advantages of the scale were to facilitate ongoing feedback for both the professionals and the parents as well as to update specific, individualized goals in each therapeutic area. This information was also helpful to third-party payers of service. Results showed that, after an initial period of familiarization, therapists became more accurate in their expectations of progress in treatment. Therapy time spent with each child was also increased without increasing costs or preparation time for each therapist. Specifically, re-evaluation scores obtained on the Goal Attainment Scales approached a normal, expected distribution of values. The potential value of extending the system to more objectively, efficiently, and concisely display treatment results is discussed.

Abstract
Evidence is presented to indicate that Plasmodium berghei merozoites, but not trophozotites, have an antiphagocytic capsule. The capsule appears to form around the developing merozoties of the schizont in the parasitophorous vacuole. Serum from animals immune to P. berghei reacts with this capsule. After reaction with immune serum, the antiphagocytic action of the capsule is lost. By the process of binding serum protein, the capsule becomes electron dense and can be readily visuallzed as the surface coat by electron microscopy. At physiological temperatures, phagocytosis by macrophages rapidly follows adhesion of antibody-coated parasites. Both tight and loose phagosomes are formed.

Abstract
The rates of collagen fibril formation are, under otherwise identical conditions, a function of the age of the acid-soluble rat tail tendon collagen utilized. The rate is most rapid with young adult (165 day) collagen, which exhibits no induction period before collagen multimerization begins. In contrast, 21-day collagen exhibits both a 30% slower rate and an induction period. Collagens from older animals also have age-dependent fibril formation rates going from a maximum at 165 days to 80% of that for 1,100-day-old material. These age-related differences in collagen fibril formation kinetics appear to be related to the degree of cross-linking of the collagen involved.

Abstract
Rat tail tendon collagen-initiated platelet aggregation exhibits a collagen age-dependent lag time. This lag time is an inverse function of the previously determined rate of fibril formation of collagen, and corresponds to the elapsed time necessary to form a collagen fibril of requisite size under the platelet aggregation conditions chosen. Such fibers exhibit native spacing and appear to be 45 to 90 A in diameter. Fibers preformed to that size (less than 2 min for 21- to 1,100-day-old collagen), no matter what the age of the collagen, give rise to identical platelet aggregations. Fibers formed after more prolonged incubation, greater than or equal to 20 min, have impaired platelet aggregating ability.

Abstract
The articular lubricating fraction from bovine synovial fluid was prepared by repeated fractionation in three consecutive CsCl density gradients to remove completely traces of hyaluronic acid. The major glycoprotein consituent (LGP-I) was then isolated by repeated gel-permeation chromatography. The yield of the LGP-I component was about 20 mg/litre of synovial fluid. Sedimentation-equilibrium measurements showed that this glycoprotein was homogeneous and the mol.wt. was calculated to be 227500. Amino acids represented 43% (w/w) and carbohydrate constituents 44% (w/w) of the molecule. Threonine, glutamic acid, proline and lysine (224, 127, 242 and 128 residues/1000 residues respectively) were the major amino acids. Galactosamine, galactose and N-acetylneuraminic acid (202, 162 and 114 residues/molecule of LGP-I component respectively) accounted for 98% of the total carbohydrate residues present. Small amounts of mannose and glucosamine (1 and 9mol respectively/mol of LGP-I component) were also present. After treatment of LGP-I component with alkali and NaB3H4 radioactivity was incorporated into alpha-aminobutyric acid and alanine in a molar ratio of 4:1, and radioactive galactosaminitol was isolated by ion-exchange chromatography from a cleaved oligosaccharide fraction. These data demonstrate the presence of threonine and serine -O-GalNAc linkages, but only 25% of the theoretical likages involving threonine were cleaved by a beta-elimination reaction. Digestion of LGP-I component with Pronase followed by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose yielded glycopeptide fractions with a similar amino acid and carbohydrate composition to the intact molecule. Treatment of desialylated and intact LGP-I component with galactose oxidase followed by reduction with NaB3H4 revealed the presence of 52mol of terminal galactose in the intact molecule and 153mol of galactose/mol of LGP-I component after treatment with neuraminidase. The data indicate the LGP-I component is composed of a single polypeptide chain containg more than 150 oligaosaccharide side chains composed of O-GaINAc-Gal distributed over the length of the peptide chain and that terminal sialic acid residues are linked to galactose in two-thirds of these side chains.

Abstract
Twenty-seven children with learning disabilities associated with perceptual deficits were studied in order to determine what relationship might exist between occupational therapy and physical therapy test scores. Intercorrelations were computed and multivariate models were developed for the occupational therapy test items. Numerous positive relationships were demonstrated between the two groups of test items, consistent with previous clinical and experimental data. One test, however, did not duplicate the other, and both are essential in the evaluation of the learning-disabled child with perceptual deficits. Negative correlations also emerged, which might have been caused by compensation for deficits.

Abstract
Mammary tumours were induced in 3 groups of male Long-Evans rats by a series of 6 fortnightly gastric intubations of 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene. Two weeks before the initial carcinogen treatment one group of rats was grafted with 3 pituitary homografts underneath the kidney capsule of each recipient (hyperprolactinaemia). A second group, 2 weeks before the initial carcinogen treatment and for the duration of the study (35 weeks), were injected 4 X weekly with 2-Br-alpha-ergocryptine (CB-154) (hypoprolactinaemia). A third group of rats served as controls. A significant increase in the incidence of mammary tumours and a reduced latency period of tumour appearance in the hyperprolactinaemia group, when compared with the controls, were observed in this study. Mammary tumour incidence and latency period of tumour appearance in the hypoprolactinaemia group, however, did not differ significantly from controls. Thus, an increased secretion of pituitary prolactin in rats appears to be an important enhancing endocrinic condition in carcinogenesis of the male mammary gland.
