Abstract
Liver disease develops in one-third of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). It is rare for liver disease to have its onset after 20 years of age. Lung disease, however, is usually more severe in adulthood. A retrospective analysis was performed on nine patients. Three patients required lung transplantation approximately a decade after liver transplant, and another underwent combined liver and lung transplants. Four additional patients with liver transplants are awaiting assessment for lung transplants. One patient is awaiting combined liver and lung transplants. With increased survival in CF, several patients may require more than single organ transplantation.

Abstract
A data set on intestinal helminth parasites was collected in the course of an 18 year investigation into the biology of eels in Meelick Bay, Lough Derg, River Shannon. This was used to test two hypotheses relating to the composition and structure of intestinal helminth communities, namely that eels in large rivers do not harbour richer and more diverse communities than those in small rivers but that community composition and structure are more stable over time than in small rivers. The helminth community was species poor, with only six species comprising the component community and a maximum infracommunity richness of three species. The community was overwhelmingly dominated by the acanthocephalan Acanthocephalus lucii, reflecting the importance of its intermediate host Asellus aquaticus in the eels' diet. The remaining helminth species contributed to species richness but made very little contribution to community diversity. Population levels of Acanthocephalus lucii fell and remained low between 1992 and 2000, probably reflecting increased movement of eels from other parts of the lough into Meelick Bay. Diversity values were low, but similar to those reported from other rivers in Britain and Europe. The results provided support for both hypotheses and indicated that in respect of richness, diversity and dominance, the helminth communities of eels in the River Shannon were typical of, and comparable to, those of other large rivers throughout Europe.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to measure the effect of a short course of recombinant human deoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase) on ciliary and cough clearance in a group of cystic fibrosis patients, using a radioaerosol and gamma camera technique. Patients were initially randomized to receive either rhDNase (2.5 mg qd) or placebo. Following the measurement of baseline clearance, patients were given a 7-day course of either rhDNase or placebo. The patient then returned on the seventh day for follow-up clearance measurements. This was followed by a 2-week washout period before the whole process was repeated with the alternative inhalation solution. On each of the study days, mucociliary clearance was initially measured for a period of 60 min (IC). This was followed by cough clearance (CC) measurements for 30 min, during which patients were requested to cough a total of 120 times. Post-cough clearance (PCC) was then measured for a further 60 min. Thirteen patients completed the study. Patients' age ranged between 18-38 years, and they had baseline values of FEV(1) of 27-103% of predicted values. Following completion of the course of rhDNase, there was a mean percent increase from baseline of 7.5% for FEV(1) and 5.4% for FVC% (P = 0. 03). There was a small, nonsignificant increase in IC (6.2 +/- 3.6%) on the rhDNase arm compared with the placebo arm (-2.3 +/- 2.9%), P = 0.1. No changes were seen in either CC (1.0 +/- 3.2% [rhDNase] vs. 1.9 +/- 2.4% [placebo], P = 0.9) or PCC (-0.7 +/- 1.5% [rhDNase] vs. 0.9 +/- 1.7% [placebo], P = 0.3). Patients who achieved a 10% or greater improvement in FEV(1) (n = 5) in response to rhDNase did not show any greater change in clearance than nonresponders. In conclusion, we were unable to demonstrate any improvements in either ciliary or cough clearance in response to a short course of rhDNase. The mechanism of action of this drug in vivo remains uncertain.

Abstract
Lethally irradiated rhesus monkeys were treated with autologous bone marrow that had either been (1) nontreated, i.e., normal; (2) depleted of T lymphocytes with a monoclonal antibody directed against rhesus T lymphocytes; (3) fractionated with the soybean agglutinin (SBA- fraction); or (4) fractionated with SBA and further depleted of T cells by E-rosetting. There was no difference in hematologic reconstitution among the animals, but all showed a marked lowering of the T helper/T suppressor ratio during the first 10 months posttransplant and reduced capability of their peripheral blood leukocytes (PBL) to produce Ig upon stimulation with pokeweed mitogen. This subnormal ability of PBL to produce Ig, as measured by plaque-forming cells in a reverse hemolytic plaque assay, was not explained entirely by the altered T-H/T-S ratio but was correlated with the functional status of the T-H, T-S, and B lymphocytes. Isolated populations of the different lymphocyte subsets from PBL of the experimental animals were cocultured with normal cells of the appropriate subset to obtain Ig synthesis when stimulated with PWM. Animals treated with normal bone marrow showed recovery of T-H cell function after 5 months, but their T-S cells showed excessive suppressor activity that persisted for 20 months posttransplant. In contrast, those animals receiving treated marrow (mAb plus complement, or SBA) showed a much-delayed (12 months or more) return to normal T-H cell function and an earlier return of T-S cells expressing a normal level of suppressor activity. Since the SBA- fraction of marrow contains very few or no T-H cells and T cell depletion of marrow with mAb also removes these cells, it is suggested that the kinetics of immune recovery of the different lymphocyte subsets of PBL is influenced by the presence or absence of T-H cells in the marrow inocula.

Abstract
A population of eels Anguilla anguilla from Lough Derg, R. Shannon, Ireland, harbouring infections of both Acanthocephalus lucii and A. anguillae was studied over three years. Both parasite species had the same intermediate host and eels appeared to be the only definitive host for A. anguillae. Throughout the whole period, A. lucii was the dominant parasite, was over-dispersed throughout the eel population and most frequently occurred as a single species infection. A. anguillae was far less common, its dispersion was close to random at most times and it almost invariably occurred as a mixed species infection. The proportions of the two species remained fairly constant over the period. Despite some indication of site selection in the intestine, the distribution of both species overlapped considerably and there was no evidence of competitive displacement of one species by the other or of resource partitioning in space. The life-histories of both species were similar: they infected eels, bred and were lost from fish at the same time of year and there was no indication of resource partitioning in time. Congeneric species of acanthocephalans can thus co-exist in apparently stable equilibrium in fish as predicted and without any evidence of interactions, but it is still considered that exploitation competition between the species may be occurring in eels.
