A proliferative glomerulonephritis was induced in rats preimmunised with rabbit IgG by injecting a sub-nephrotoxic dose of rabbit anti-rat GBM IgG. All the rats developed a severe proteinuria within 2-5 days after the injection of anti-GBM IgG. At the same time, many mononuclear phagocytes infiltrated the glomeruli, the colloidal iron staining of the glomerular filtration barrier was altered, and the urinary excretion of laminin and of neutral proteinase strongly increased. However, the pattern and intensity of staining of different collagenous and non-collagenous BM glycoproteins were not modified, as shown by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy. The existence of a direct significant correlation between the proteinuria and the laminin urinary excretion, and between the latter and the urinary neutral proteinase activity suggests that lysosomal proteinase of mononuclear phagocytes may be involved in the damage of the GBM during the course of this experimental glomerulonephritis.

Brain-type creatine kinase (CK) isoenzyme (CK-BB) was found in the ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the serum in a series of 35 patients within 13 hours following severe head injury. There was a good correlation between total CK and CK-BB activities in CSF only. The values found in the CSF appear to be a quantitative index of brain dysfunction at admission, and did not correlate with intracranial pressure activity. High levels of CK-BB in the CSF correlated with a poor outcome, and thus offer a reliable criterion for the assessment of the severity of head injury. [less ▲]

Dès 1940, Waeler mettait en évidence le facteur rhumatoïde, point de départ d'un échaffaudaqe d'hypothèses tentant d'expliquer les désordres immunitaires rencontrés dans cette affection.Par les réactions de Waeler-Rose. ou de latex. on met en évidence, chez beaucoup de patients atteints de P.R.~ un facteur rhumatoïde constitué d'une IgM anti IgG. Ce facteur caractérise, comme on le sait, les P.R. séropositives. Ce facteur garde en clinique une grande importance puisque sa présence en grande quantité assombrit le pronostic par l'apparition plus fréquente de manifestations générales. Par des techniques plus fines (immunofluorescence indirecte notamment). on a en effet constaté que la plupart, si pas toutes les P.R.~ possèdent un facteur rhumatoïde IgG ou IgA anti IgG . Mais comme lïgM anti IgG, l'IgG anti IgG peut aussi se mettre en évidence chez des sujets normaux, surtout âgés. L'interaction facteur rhumatoïde-lgG intervient grandement, avec d'autres complexes immuns circulants, dans le développement de lésions de vascularite. Les nouvelles techniques telles qu'irradiation lymphoïde et aphérèse, visent donc certains points de la pathogénie évoquée dans la P.R. : enlèvement de facteurs solubles contribuant au processus morbide ou/et ablation des cellules impliquées dans la réponse immunitaire anormale. Mais ces méthodes ne sont pas dépourvues de risques, elles sont en outre fort onéreuses. Elles restent néanmoins des armes très efficaces dans des situations graves, dépassées pour la thérapeutique habituelle. Petit à petit, elles nous dévoilent aussi certains volets encore cachés de la P.R., maladie multifactorielle où un trouble immunitaire occupe une place privilégiée mais dont la ou les causes nous échappent encore.

Correspondence analysis is used to study the variations of the diet of the Barn owl in the eastern part of the Pyrenees, and their relationships with the various vegetation zones of the area. Nineteen samples of owl pellets (18561 prey items) were collected, together with information on the altitude, climate, vegetation and land-use of the sites where pellets were gathered. Mus spretus is a typical eumediterranean species. Pitymys pyrenaicus, Microtus arvalis, Clethrionomys glareolus, Sorex "araneus" and S. minutus are conspicuously absent. Pitymys duodecimcostatus, Suncus etruscus and Crocidura suaveolens cannot be considered as "indicator species" of the mediterranean biome. These small mammals take advantage of some man-made environmental changes to enter areas well outsite the limits of the mediterranean bioclimate: e.g. cultivated fields with deep soils for Pitymys and dry-stone walls for Crocidurine shrews. The strong correslation existing between ecoclimatic factors and prey selection emphazises the opportunistic nature of barn owl's predatory behaviour. The use of fossil pellets as an indicator of past environmental cnditions of a given area is amply justified [less ▲]

Conformational analysis of gallopamil was performed in order to gain insight into the molecular determinant of its calcium-antagonistic property. Whereas the neutral form of gallopamil was characterized by a single, largely predominant configuration, the protonated form of the drugs yielded several conformers, some of which were characterized by a readily accessible ionized site. The capacity of gallopamil to inhibit ionophore-mediated calcium translocation in a two-phase bulk system was inversely related to the pH of the aqueous phase. These findings indicate that the capacity of gallopamil to interfere with the transport of cations is critically dependent on the availability of a protonated configuration of the drug. [less ▲]

Photometric measurements of RR Tel performed at ESO are discussed. RR Tel is a galactic nova which has been associated with a sole outburst, observed in 1944. The photometric observations were made in the ubvy system in August 1981, when a strong brightening was detected in V. IUE data subjected to a Fourier analysis indicate that the object has a period within 5 days of 395 days. Measurements of brightening of the J component also yield a period of 390 days. The presence of a Mira variable is considered, noting the supporting evidence from H2O and TiO spectral bands, but equally the lack of IR data until after 1960. It is suggested that data from before 1944 indicate that modulated bursts of mass transfer and accompanying accretion events preceeded the outburst of the underlying binary star, which could be a link between dwarf novae, classical novae, and symbiotic stars.

Two high-resolution far-UV spectra of the low-excitation planetary nebula HD 138403 are analyzed which were obtained with the IUE satellite over the wavelength range from 1170 to 2070 A. It is shown that the nebula's far-UV spectrum comprises a stellar continuum on which are superimposed a few emission lines, numerous interstellar absorption lines, and various types of P Cygni profiles. Evidence is examined for substantial mass loss from the central nucleus, with terminal velocities of the order of 800 km/s. The observed nebular emissions are used to derive the electron density in the main nebula. The results are taken as supporting the hypothesis that a bipolar structure is expanding around HD 138403 via a selective radiation process involving an edge- or line-locking mechanism or both.

A time-dependent, two-dimensional model is developed for describing the meridional circulation of thermospheric odd nitrogen species produced in the auroral zone. The model is based on a previous model by Roble and Gary (1979) extended to upper altitude transport of the nitrogen species. Assumptions made include the existence of a steady neutral wind flowing from low to high latitudes, and an initial background due to scattered Lyman-beta and nightglow emissions. The aurora is also assumed as steady, along with a constant ion production. Predictions made using the model are compared with observations with the Atmosphere Explorer C spacecraft and rocket sounding measurements of the 5200 A distribution near the day-side polar cusp. The model requires thermospheric winds of 100-200 m/sec, flowing from day to nightside. Convective velocities near 1000 m/sec were detected by the Explorer spacecraft, as well as a day-to-nightside flow at the cusp. [less ▲]

Determination of mass-loss rates from the first order moment W1 of unsaturated Cygni line profiles

The relationship between the first order moment and the mass loss rate is investigated within the framework of the Sobolev approximation (1947, 1957, 1958) under various physical and geometrical conditions. By assuming that the size of the expanding envelope from which the observed P Cygni profiles arise is large with respect to the central stellar core, a general expression for the n-th order moment is obtained for the case of a point-like source in terms of the usual parameters inherent to Sobolev-type theories. It is then shown how the first result is altered when considering separately the effects due to collisions and rotation, the presence of the underlying photospheric absorption line, the finite size of the central core, and the limb-darkening of the stellar core. It is concluded that the total uncertainty of the mass loss rate determination made with the approach proposed here should be less than 60 percent. [less ▲]

The three-dimensional structure of a penicillin-sensitive D-alanyl-carboxypeptidase-transpeptidase has been determined by x-ray crystallography to a resolution of 2.8 angstroms.

These findings constitute direct observation of the interaction of beta-lactams with a transpeptidase enzyme and establish the feasibility of defining the molecular stereochemistry of this interaction for purposes of drug design.

A model of the interaction between incident electron precipitation and H2 atmospheres is described. The local degraded primary and secondary electron energy distributions are calculated by using the continuous slowing down approximation. The altitude distribution of the ionization rate and various H and EUV H2 emissions are calculated for four different incident electron spectra. A total EUV H2 emission efficiency of 10.6 kR/incident erg/sq cm per sec is obtained for a pure H2 atmosphere. Comparison with the Voyager Jupiter observations indicates that an incident energy flux of about 8 ergs/sq cm per sec was present at the time of the encounter if the emission is located in an H2-dominated region. The local thermospheric heating rate was about 4 ergs/sq cm per sec for Jupiter and of the order of 0.1 erg/sq cm per sec for Saturn. A globally averaged atomic hydrogen production rate of about 1 x 10 to the 10th atoms/sq cm per sec is induced by the Jovian auroral electron precipitation, largely exceeding the solar EUV dissociation rate.

The graft into the footpad of Jackson mice of B16 melanoma cells which are only slightly pigmented, induces the simultaneous appearance of achromatic and well-pigmented metastatics. We have analysed histologically both types of metastases from the 8th to the 20th day after the resection of the primary tumor. The percentages of mitoses are higher in the achromatic metastases than in the pigmented ones. Both are infiltrated by lymphocytes and by a small number of macrophages and polymorphonuclears. A statistical analysis demonstrates however that the percentage of lymphocytes is not related to the importance of the metastase pigmentation. The discussion is devoted to the relations between the infiltration by lymphocytes, the immunogenicity and the differentiation of the tumor. [less ▲]

Hypoglycemic sulfonylureas (e.g., gliclazide) are able to transport calcium across hydrophobic domains. Gliclazide and the ionophore A23187 act synergistically upon calcium transport. One calcium atom is complexed by either two molecules of sulfonylureas (or A23187) or one molecule each of sulfonylurea and A23187; the existence of such hybrid complexes has been documented by nuclear magnetic resonance. Conformation analysis of the calcium-gliclazide complex suggests close apposition of the toluyl groups in the gliclazide molecules. [less ▲]
