Diagnosis of fetal rubella infection by nucleic acid hybridization

The efficacy of nucleic acid hybridization for the diagnosis of rubella infection in experimental and clinical materials was compared with immunoblot and virus isolation techniques. Our results showed that nucleic acid hybridization is specific and rapid but gives false-negative results when compared with conventional virus isolation in some experimental although not in clinical materials so far examined. For this reason, a failure to demonstrate rubella virus in fetal specimens by this method alone cannot yet be taken as a sole criterion for ruling out fetal rubella infection.

Anticonvulsant Activities of 4–Bromobenzaldehyde Semicarbazone

Summary: Some of the properties of 4–bromobenzalde-hyde semicarbazone (compound IV), a prototype molecule of a new class of anticonvulsants, aryl semicarbazones, are described. Compound IV demonstrated activity in the maximal electroshock (MES) and subcutaneous pentylenetetrazol (scPTZ) tests in mice, with low neurotoxicity. When given orally to rats, it displayed high potency in the MES test and very low neurotoxicity, resulting in a high protective index (PI). Compound IV displayed no proconvulsant properties, and development of rapid tolerance was not noted. When administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) at doses of 100, 300, or 600 mg/kg to rats, compound IV had no effect on levels of γ-aminobu-tyric acid (GABA) or on GABA-T activity in whole brain. When tested in vitro, compound IV had no effect on rat brain GABA-T at a drug concentration of 100 μM. Although the activities of certain drug-metabolizing enzymes were increased after oral administration of compound IV to rats, these effects were less prominent than those of phenytoin (PHT) and carbamazepine (CBZ). The principal mode of action of compound IV does not appear to be an interaction with the GABA_A receptor complex, and other mechanisms, involving excitatory amino acid neurotransmission, will have to be considered in future investigations of the anticonvulsant activity of this compound.

Changes in CSF pressures during experimental acute arterial subdural bleeding in pig

Summary The effects of acute arterial subdural bleeding on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and 12 other vital parameters were studied in spontaneously breathing pigs (group 1, n=9) and in mechanically ventilated pigs (group 2, n=18) to analyze quantitatively the bleeding course and the lethal mechanism.Spontaneously breathing animals all succumbed after a mean bleeding volume of 45.6±8.9ml, corresponding to about 50 per cent of the intracranial volume, and a mean bleeding duration of 11.0±2.6 min. Rapid rise in CSF pressures, marked transtentorial pressure gradients, and progressive reductions of cerebral perfusion pressure leading to a permanently iso-electric EEG, apnoea and to a terminal rise in arterial pressure (Cushing response), was the rule in these animals.The mechanically ventilated animals had smaller bleeding volumes (34.3±8.1 ml), but longer bleeding durations (13.8±5.8 min). In this group 7 animals survived. They had no pressure gradients, and only moderate changes in arterial pressure and EEG. The 11 animals that succumbed had marked transtentorial pressure gradients, but smaller increments in arterial pressure than the spontaneously breathing animals.At autopsy, subdurally located blood was found throughout the intracranial and spinal subdural compartments and along the spinal nerve roots in both groups.The results of this study suggest that survival after acute subdural haematoma is influenced by the presence of transtentorial pressure gradients and by the spinal sac acting as a space for expansion. The beneficial effect of artificial ventilation is discussed.This study has been supported by the University of Oslo, The Anders Jahre Foundation for The Advance of Research, and by the Norwegian Society for fighting Cancer.     

Experimental chronic dermatophytosis in human skin grafted to nude mouse: inoculation of Trichophytons and histopathological evaluation

Two strains of T. rubrum and one strain of T. mentagrophytes were inoculated into human skin grafted onto BALB/c nude mice by the needle puncture method. Infection was established in 1 of the 10 animals inoculated with fluffy colony type T. rubrum, 2 of the 10 animals inoculated with powdery colony type T. rubrum, and 7 of the 10 animals inoculated with granular colony type T. mentagrophytes, suggesting that the skin grafts are infectible by anthropophilic and zoophilic strains of dermatophytes. T. rubrum infection continued for a maximum of 9 weeks and T. mentagrophytes infection for more than 11 weeks. In the animals inoculated with T. mentagrophytes, fungal elements were localized in the stratum corneum of the human skin grafts. In the acute stage, microabscesses consisting of neutrophils were observed under the stratum corneum in contact with fungal elements; in the chronic stage, epidermal thickening and infiltration, mainly consisting of histiocytes and a smaller number of lymphocytes, was noted in the upper and middle dermis. Ultrastructural findings from the parasites were similar to those of dermatophytosis in man. This experimental system should be useful as a model of chronic dermatophyte infection in the human skin.

Growth inhibition of estrogen independent MXT mouse mammary carcinomas in mice treated with an agonist or antagonist of LH-RH,an analog of somatostatin,or a combination

Summary Female BDF₁ mice inoculated with MXT (3.2) estrogen independent mouse mammary carcinoma were treated for three weeks with microcapsules of the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH) agonist [D-Trp⁶]LH-RH, the antagonist SB-75, the somatostatin analog RC-160, or combinations. The lack of estrogen dependence of the tumor was proved by bilateral surgical ovariectomy, which had no effect. In two experiments, treatment with 25µg/day doses of each analog alone resulted in a significant inhibition of tumor growth as shown by a 40–53% inhibition of tumor volumes, 38–43% decrease in tumor weights, and histological signs of tumor regression. However, the combination of SB-75 or [D-Trp⁶]LH-RH with somatostatin analog RC-160 caused greater reduction of tumor volume (68 and 61%) or tumor weights (59 and 56%), than single analogs, and histologically the occurrence of apoptosis and decrease in AgNOR numbers was more pronounced in the groups receiving combination therapy. Specific binding sites for [D-Trp⁶]LH-RH, EGF, and IGF-I were demonstrated in the tumor membranes. The binding capacity of LH-RH receptors was decreased by treatment with the analogs, the greatest down-regulation being caused by combination therapy. A significant decrease in EGF binding capacity was observed after treatment with the LH-RH analogs, alone or especially in combination with somatostatin analog RC-160. The combination of these analogs also caused a reduction in IGF-I receptors. The finding that LH-RH agonists and antagonists and somatostatin analogs inhibit the growth of estrogen independent mammary tumors, and that combinations are more effective than single analogs, might be of practical importance in human breast cancer therapy.
