Abstract
Airway responses to occupational agents in sensitised workers may vary clinically and physiologically. The patterns of change in airway responsiveness, type of response and fall in expiratory flows following laboratory exposure to high- or low-molecular weight agents (HMW and LMW agents, respectively) were compared in sensitised workers. Data on workers who underwent specific inhalation challenges with occupational sensitisers (117 exposed to HMW agents and 130 to LMW agents) were collected from their medical charts. Maximum falls in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV(1)) were of similar magnitude for both types of agents. Compared with HMW agents, LMW agents induced more frequently late or dual responses and higher increases in airway responsiveness. After exposure to HMW agents, there was a mean+/-sd reduction in doubling concentrations of methacholine of 0.5+/-1.7 for early responses, compared with 2.8+/-1.2 and 1.4+/-2.0 for late and dual responses, respectively. Isolated early responses were more frequently found in females, smokers, workers with a higher % predicted FEV(1) and higher provocation concentration causing a 20% fall in FEV(1), and in those with longer asthma duration. Workers' characteristics, as well as the type of agent they are sensitised to, may help to predict the type of response after specific inhalation challenge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of fibrogenic cytokines and mediators in the analysis of induced sputum and determine if their levels correlated with previous decline in lung function in asbestosis and silicosis. DESIGN In a pilot study for the evaluation of 19 workers with asbestosis and 15 with silicosis, all workers had chart reviews and records of previous lung function tests. Fourteen healthy control subjects were also included in the study. All subjects attended the laboratory for a clinical evaluation, pulmonary function tests and induced sputum sampling. Differential cell counts were performed and the following mediators and cytokines were measured: matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9), tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1 (TIMP-1), fibronectin, interleukin 1 beta (IL-1beta), IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). RESULTS Levels of IL-1beta were higher in the sputum of subjects with asbestosis and silicosis than in controls. Eosinophils, neutrophils and IL-1beta levels were significantly correlated with the rate of decline in pulmonary function. CONCLUSION The induced sputum levels of certain inflammatory cells and IL-1beta correlate with the decline in pulmonary function associated with asbestosis and silicosis. It remains to be established if these markers can help predict the clinical outcome of workers exposed to these mineral particles or fibers in a prospective study.

Abstract
The device of new hepatotrophic prodrugs of the antiviral nucleoside 9-(2-phosphonylmethoxyethyl)adenine (PMEA) with specificity for the asialoglycoprotein receptor on parenchymal liver cells is described. PMEA was conjugated to bi- and trivalent cluster glycosides (K(GN)(2) and K(2)(GN)(3), respectively) with nanomolar affinity for the asialoglycoprotein receptor. The liver uptake of the PMEA prodrugs was more than 10-fold higher than that of the parent drug (52+/-6% and 62+/-3% vs. 4.8+/-0.7% of the injected dose for PMEA) and could be attributed for 90% to parenchymal cells. Accumulation of the PMEA prodrugs in extrahepatic tissue (e.g., kidney, skin) was substantially reduced. The ratio of parenchymal liver cell-to-kidney uptake-a measure of the prodrugs therapeutic window-was increased from 0.058 +/- 0.01 for PMEA to 1.86 +/- 0.57 for K(GN)(2)-PMEA and even 2.69 +/- 0.24 for K(2)(GN)(3)-PMEA. Apparently both glycosides have a similar capacity to redirect (antiviral) drugs to the liver. After cellular uptake, both PMEA prodrugs were converted into the parent drug, PMEA, during acidification of the lysosomal milieu (t(1/2) approximately 100 min), and the released PMEA was rapidly translocated into the cytosol. The antiviral activity of the prodrugs in vitro was dramatically enhanced as compared to the parent drug (5- and 52-fold for K(GN)(2)-PMEA and K(2)(GN)(3)-PMEA, respectively). Given the 15-fold enhanced liver uptake of the prodrugs, we anticipate that the potency in vivo will be similarly increased. We conclude that PMEA prodrugs have been developed with greatly improved pharmacokinetics and therapeutic activity against viral infections that implicate the liver parenchyma (e.g., HBV). In addition, the significance of the above prodrug concept also extends to drugs that intervene in other liver disorders such as cholestasis and dyslipidemia.

Abstract
Nine monoclonal antibodies (MoF 0-8) directed against the native form (trimeric) of outer membrane protein OmpF of Escherichia coli B were obtained and characterized. All these antibodies bind to OmpF porin in intact E. coli B cells but not OmpF from E. coli K-12 cells which only differ at positions 66, 117 and 262 in the sequence. These antibodies exhibit a specificity to the native form, failing to recognize the denatured form in a liquid immunorecognition assay. Four tested antibodies are able to protect against colicin A, a bacteriotoxin using OmpF as receptor. One monoclonal antibody (MoF 0) is specific to the external topology of native porin in the outer membrane and three antibodies could recognize epitopes present in each conformation of subunits of trimer form. It is concluded that the region around the 66th and more probably around the 262nd amino acids are involved in cell-surface exposed epitopes. Moreover, these results support the assumption that the conformation of protruding regions of OmpF from E. coli B and K-12 are different.

Abstract
A survey was conducted on 1032 racket sport players from 10 randomly selected racket sport centers in Quebec during the month of October 1985. The use of protective eye glasses was found to be higher in racketball (70.2%) and squash (45.8%) than in badminton (8.8%) or tennis (3.5%). While a little less than 60% of protective eye glasses were equipped with unbreakable lenses, 40% of protective glasses were simple eye guards, containing no lens at all. Hence a large number of players assumed that they had adequate protection while wearing simple eye guards or their everyday normal glasses. Gender differences did not seem to affect the use of protective eye glasses. A general observation was that the older the player the better the eye protection, whereas novice players tended to be less prepared to use the protective glasses. The use of protective eye glasses was found to be compulsory in close to 46% of racketball centers and in 25% of squash clubs.
