Deficient expression of enhanced reactivation of parvovirus H-1 in ataxia telangiectasia cells irradiated with X-rays or u.v. light

Cells of patients with ataxia telangiectasia (AT), an inheriteddisease characterized by a high propensity to cancer, are hypersensitiveto ionizing radiation. We investigated whether the hyper-radiosensitivityof AT cells correlated with a defect in their constitutive and/orconditional ability to rescue a damaged exogenous virus. Forthat purpose, parvovirus H-1, a single-stranded DNA virus whoseintranuclear replication mostly relies on host cell functions,was used as a probe. The survival of u.v.-or -irradiated H-1was measured in X-, u.v.- or mock-irradiated human cells ofnormal (NB-E) or AT (AT5BIVA) origin. -irradiated H-1 survivedto similar extents in untreated normal and AT cell lines. BothX- and u.v.-irradiatlon induced normal cells to achieve an enhancedreactivation (ER) of -- or u.v.-damaged H-1. In contrast, neitherdose-effect curves nor time course revealed significant levelsof ER expression after X- or u.v.-irradiation in AT5BIVA cells.Our results suggest that the impairment of ER of damaged parvovirusesmay constitute a marker of the AT cell phenotype and be relatedto the radiosensitivity of AT cells.     

Radiologic and manometric correlation in "nutcracker esophagus"

"Nutcracker esophagus" is a newly described esophageal motor disorder seen in some patients with chest pain and/or dysphagia and characterized manometrically by normal primary peristalsis with distal contractions of high amplitude. The radiographic and manometric examinations in 20 patients with nutcracker esophagus were correlated. Normal primary peristalsis was observed radiographically in 16 patients, and a nonspecific motor disorder was diagnosed in the remaining four patients. Mild-to-severe nonspecific tertiary activity was seen in about half of the patients, esophageal wall thickness was normal. It is concluded that nutcracker esophagus is primarily a manometric diagnosis made in the appropriate clinical setting, and that the radiographic findings are normal or nonspecific.

VALUE AND LIMITATIONS OF SINUS NODE FUNCTION TE.ST BY ATRIAL PACING IN SICK SINUS SYNDROME DIAGNOSIS

In order to evaluate the significance of the sinus node function test by transvenous atrial pacing in the diagno,sis of sick sinus syndrome (SSS), sinus node recovery time (SRT), co]rrected sinus node recovery time (CSRT) and total atrio- sinus and sino-atrial conduction time (SACT) are observed in 69 patients including non-SSS group 39 cases and SSS group 30 cases. According to our data, we suggest criteria for sinus node dysfunction as follows. SRT>1,400 ms and/or A-V junctional esca.pe before sinus recovery and;or secondary pause, CSRT>560 ms. total SACT>300 ms. With l item abnormal, the false positive rat.e in the non-SSS group is 7.7c7。 and the false negative rate in the S.SS group 3.30i" with 2 items abnormal, the false positive rate in the non-SSS group Oi and the false negative rate in the SSS grOiup 6.7'70. Atropine test results are compared with that of atrial pacing, 95.8To and 84.2% are compatible with each other in these 2 groups. In order to cut the use of invasive technic to the minimum, we propose performing the atropine test first. Only in those with unexplainable test results should the trial pacing test. be resorted to..
