When Chinese hamster cells are lysed on top of an alkaline sucrose gradient, in time a fairly discrete DNA-containing molecular species is released from an apparently more complex material. Small doses of X-radiation speed the resolution of this complex while large doses degrade the material released from it. Incubation after irradiation reverses both effects.

This article addresses some therapeutic controversies concerning medications that may be needed during advanced pediatric life support (APLS) and the routes of administration that may be selected. The controversies that are discussed include the appropriateness and selection of various routes for drug administration during APLS; the determination of whether epinephrine hydrochloride is the adrenergic agent of choice for APLS and its appropriate dose; treatment of acidosis associated with a cardiopulmonary arrest; recommendations for atropine sulfate doses; and the role, if any, of calcium in APLS. Background information differentiating pediatric from adult cardiopulmonary arrest is presented to enable the reader to have a better understanding of the specific needs of children during this life-threatening emergency. The article also presents an overview of various drugs used for APLS and a table of their typically recommended doses and routes of administration.
