An unusual case of lung torsion.

We report a case of complete torsion of the right lung induced by transthoracic needle biopsy. While a delay in diagnosis occurred, viability of the torsed lung was maintained, thereby allowing for effective surgical repair.

Human placental trophoblast in regions of high and low environmental pollution. A histochemical and morphological study.

The authors demonstrate the dependence of development of a uniform layer of syncytiotrophoblast with good cytochrome oxidase activity in placental villi on the absence of noxious industrial by-products in the environment of the pregnant woman. The degree of deviation from the developmental norm observed in regions free from industrial pollution can serve as measure of the degree of that pollution in urban-industrial regions.

Photochemotherapy: identification of a metabolite of 4, 5', 8-trimethylpsoralen.

A compound, 4, 8-dimethyl, 5'-carboxypsoralen (DMeCP), has been identified in mouse urine as a major metabolite of the photoactive drug, 4, 5', 8-trimethylpsoralen (TMeP). This drug is widely used in the treatment of vitiligo and psoriasis. DMeCP is fluorescent, and nonphotosensitizing when tested on guinea pig skin. DMeCP also occurs in the urine of human patients receiving TMeP orally.

Degradation of angiotensin II by plasmin.

1. Synthetic angiotensin II (Hypertensin, Ciba, Basel) was incubated with a water-insoluble preparation of plasmin (E.C. 3.4.4.14) and the resulting products analysed by paper chromatography and N-terminal amino-acid analysis.2. Only the N-terminal asparagine was split off from the peptide. This indicates that plasmin attacks the Asn-Arg but not the Arg-Val in angiotensin II molecule.

Nursing update: hypophosphatemic rickets.

Hypophosphatemic rickets is a nonnutritional condition that requires lifelong care and treatment. The Roy Adaptation Model serves the nurse in assessing and planning care for children and their families according to four adaptive modes: physiologic, self-concept, role function, and interdependence.
