    Notes: Summary A chromosomal survey using standard lymphocyte cultures employing different media and G-banding techniques was initiated in 1984. This study became particularly important following the tragic gaseous exposure of the population in Bhopal at midnight on 2 December 1984. We have been able to formulate a chromosomal profile for each person whom we have studied; during 1986–1988, 154 persons were examined twice. Among seemingly normal individuals, as many as 20% might possess some chromosomal abnormality; of these, 50% may develop, at a later date, some kind of pathological complication (such as tumours, recurrent abortion or transmission of defects to their offspring). The people exposed to methyl isocyanate have repeatedly shown Robertsonian translocations, mostly in acrocentric chromosomes 13 and 21. Other types of translocations have been studied among all exposed (53) and normal (101) persons; the involvement of chromosomes 5, 9, 11, 14 and 16 is statistically significant (P= 〈0.001). One of the major clinical symptoms is dyspnoea; we have estimated that almost all seriously dyspnoeic patients have developed at least two categories of chromosomal aberrations, one of which is Robertsonian translocation, in at least 10% metaphases. Our chromosomal survey will be of significance because we are able to identify people with chromosomal aberrations that might be correlated with future pathological consequences of the accident. The “chromosomal load” that can be sustained with an apparently normal phenotype can also be measured.

    Notes: Abstract The ability of the SV40 large tumor antigen (T antigen), a DNA helicase, to bind to model DNA replication forks was tested. DNA fork molecules were constructed either from two partially complementary oligonucleotides or from a single oligonucleotide able to form a ‘panhandle’ structure. T antigen specifically recognized the two-strand fork in a reaction dependent on the presence of ATP, dATP, or non-hydrolyzable analogs of ATP. T antigen asymmetrically bound the two-strand fork, protecting from nuclease cleavage a fork-proximal region on only one of the two strands. The asymmetric binding is consistent with the 3′⇌5′ directionality of the DNA helicase activity of T antigen. An analogous region on the one-strand fork was also bound by T antigen, suggesting that T antigen does not require a free singlestranded end to load onto the fork. Use of chemically modified DNA substrates indicated that T antigen binding to the fork utilized important contacts with the DNA sugar-phosphate backbone.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: The present study was conducted to compare the analgesic efficacy of a new topical gel formulation of nimesulide (10 mg of pure drug) with that of placebo, diclofenac and piroxicam gels (10 mg of pure drug) in three parallel groups in a double-blinded, randomized fashion with vehicle placebo. The analgesic activity of nimesulide was subsequently correlated with its pharmacokinetic profile. Methods: The drugs were applied on a fixed marked area on the skin of the right forearm. Pain stimulus was administered using a modification of the Hollander method, before and at 15, 30, 60, 120 min and 240 min post-treatment. The pain experienced by the subjects was ranked separately on the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the ten-point category scale. Antinociception induced by the treatments was evaluated through the placebo-related ratings (PRR) and total pain relief (TOTPAR) analysis. The plasma concentration of nimesulide was estimated using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results: Nimesulide exhibited better efficacy than diclofenac, piroxicam and placebo. It demonstrated faster onset of action in concordance with earlier studies. Peak analgesic effect was observed at 120 min post-treatment, which correlated with the pharmacokinetic profile of the drug in gel formulation. In this study, diclofenac was found to be superior to piroxicam though both drugs exhibited peak analgesic effect at 60 min post-treatment. In the modified Hollander method, a good correlation was found between the ten point category scale and the VAS, indicating that it may serve as a sensitive and reliable method for the screening of analgesic drugs. Conclusion: The superior analgesic activity of nimesulide (as gel formulation), correlating with its pharmacokinetic profile, indicates that the topical route of administration may be a safe and effective alternative to the presently used oral and rectal routes.

    Notes: Abstract Tau protein from Alzheimer disease (AD) brain is hyperphosphorylated by both proline-dependent protein kinases (PDPKs) and non-PDPKs. It is presently unclear how PDPKs and non-PDPKs interact in tau hyperphosphorylation. Previously we have shown that non-PDPKs can positively modulate the activity of a PDPK (GSK-3) in tau phosphorylation (Singh et al. (1995) FEBS Lett. 358, 267-272). In this study we have investigated whether (A) non-PDPKs can also modulate the activity of the PDPK, cdk5, (B) a PDPK can modulate the activities of another PDPK, as well as non-PDPKs. We found that, like GSK-3, the activity of cdk5 is stimulated if tau were first prephosphorylated by any of several non-PDPKs (A-kinase, C-kinase, CK-1, CaM-kinase II). Prephosphorylation of tau by cdk5 stimulated both the rate and extent of a subsequent phosphorylation catalyzed by GSK-3. Under these conditions thr 231 phosphorylation was especially enhanced (9-fold). No significant stimulation of phosphorylation was obser ved when the order of these kinases was reversed (i.e. GSK-3 followed by cdk5). By contrast, prephosphorylation of tau by cdk5 served to inhibit subsequent phosphorylation catalyzed by C-kinase and CK-1, but not by A-kinase or CaM-kinase II. Our results suggest that in tau hyperphosphorylation in AD brain, cdk5-catalyzed phosphorylation may serve to up-regulate the activity of GSK-3 and down-regulate the activities of C-kinase and CK-1.

    Notes: Summary Immunomorphological methods were used to localize adenosine deaminase in tissues of the rat at different stages of ontogeny. In the thymus, lymphocytes began to express significant amounts of the enzyme with the appearance of demarcation between the cortex and medulla at 17 days of gestation. At any stage of ontogeny studied, strong adenosine deaminase staining was seen predominantly in cortical thymocytes. In the spleen and lymph node, the enzyme was initially detected in T cell areas, whereas primary follicles did not show positive adenosine deaminase staining. During further development, the enzyme was demonstrated in some lymphocytes of germinal centres and plasma cells. In the duodenum, epithelial cells of villi and the neck of crypts showed positive adenosine deaminase staining whereas no staining for the enzyme was observed in the epithelial cells of the base of crypts. Strongly positive staining for adenosine deaminase appeared in plasma cells of the lamina propria by four weeks after birth. The transient positive reaction for the deaminase could be recognized in epithelial cells of tubules of the kidney during late foetal and early postnatal development. The tubules of adult rats did not stain for the enzyme. In the cartilage of 15-day foetuses, positive adenosine deaminase staining was seen only in perichondrial cells and hypertrophic cells. Kuppfer cells in the liver and endothelial cells of blood vessels stained positively for the enzyme at every stage of ontogeny studied.

    Notes: Summary Rabbit antibody to calf adenosine deaminase (ADA) was used to localize this enzyme in tissues of the young rat and calf by the immunoperoxidase method. The distribution patterns of ADA in most tissues were similar for both species. Within the thymus gland, the enzyme was strongly expressed predominantly in cortical lymphocytes. In the spleen and lymph nodes, most lymphocyles of T-cell areas stained weakly for ADA, whereas only a small number of ADA-positive cells were found in B-cell areas. Clumps of strongly ADA-positive mononuclear blastoid and plasma cells were observed in the medullary regions of lymph nodes, around peri-arteriolar lymphocyte sheaths and in the red pulp of the spleen, and in the lamina propria of the intestine. Double immunofluorescence staining studies in the rat showed that some of these blastoid cells contained both ADA and immunoglobulins and appeared to be plasmablasts. Strong staining for ADA was also found, in both the rat and calf, in as yet unidentified mononuclear blastoid cells in the inter-stitium of non-lymphoid organs (kidney, heart, lung), in endothelial cells of some arterioles and capillaries, and in Kupffer cells of the liver. In addition, ADA was strongly expressed in calf bile canaliculi. These studies define areas in rat and calf tissues which contain ADA-positive cells and provide a model system for investigations of the relationship between ADA and the function and development of these cells.

    Notes: Summary A novel heterophile antigen shared byMycobacterium smegmatis and chicken tissues was demonstrated by the indirect immunoperoxidase method using antisera raised in rabbits immunized with a complete Freund's adjuvant containing killedMycobacterium smegmatis as an immunostimulating component. This antigen was strongly expressed in medullary lymphocytes of the thymus and bursa of Fabricius, but was undetectable in lymphoid cells of the cortical regions of these organs. Only a few lymphocytes stained positively for the antigen in T- and B-cell areas of the spleen. These data suggest that the heterophile antigen is associated with the intrathymic and intrabursal maturation of chicken lymphocytes. The antigen was also detected in some nonlymphoid cells. It was not found in sheep erythrocytes, human and rat tissues or in killed bacillus Culmette—Guerin.
