Antibodies to nuclear lamin proteins in liver disease.

Sera of patients with autoimmune liver disease contained antibodies reactive with nuclear lamins. These antigens were identified in immunoblotting experiments, using isolated nuclei, nuclear matrices, nuclear lamina-pore complexes and purified lamins as antigen source. The lamins were, furthermore, characterized by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Antibodies to nuclear lamins were found in 75 per cent of the active lupoid hepatitis cases, but not in patients with inactive disease. Anti-lamin antibodies were detected in 8 per cent of primary biliary cirrhosis sera. The autoimmune liver disease sera recognized predominantly the nuclear lamins A/C, and less frequently the lamins A/B/C or lamin B.

[Relation between yoga and psychotherapy].

Western psychotherapy and Yoga overlap insofar as both systems are based upon religious and mythological facts, and--on the level of psychotherapeutical praxis--on the technics of hypnosis, auto- and heterosuggestions and/or meditation. It is 50 years ago that the west considered the psychotherapeutical effects of theayoga-systems, first of all of Hatha- Yoga. Even today a theoretical foundation by means of proper comparison of the two structures is missing. In present-day India Yoga fulfills psychohygienical functions without being a psychotherapy in our sense. There are various techniques of magic in use, which replace the experimental psychological-psychotherapeutical methods in the West. The acceptance of meditation could only be successful if the metaphysical and sociocultural context would be integrated at the same time. The traditional function of Yoga guarantees its continuity even in the modern industrialized society of India. Neither the theoretical nor the pratical fundaments allow a direct transfer at present.
