[Influencing factors related to narcotic consumption and leisure sports in juveniles].

This report presents some results of a survey of 2872 men and women of 17 to 18 years of age. A multivariate analysis shows a strong association of consumption of illegal drugs with that of tobacco and alcohol, as well as with absence of spare time sports activities (men) and excessive use of medicaments (women). The results favour a multifactorial model of prevention of drug abuse.

[The synthesis of motilin, II: Preparation of the complete sequences of [13-norleucine] motilin and [13-leucine] motilin (author's transl)].

Syntheses of two analogs of the intestinal hormone motilin containing in position 13 norleucine and leucine, respectively, are described. For this purpose a suitably protected octapeptide-derivative, corresponding to the sequence 1-8, was prepared and condensed with the tetradecapeptides 9-22 of [13-norleucine]-motilin and [13-leucine] motilin (described in the preceding paper) to give to overall protectdd docosapeptides Boc-Phe-Val-Pro-IIe-Phe-Thr-(But)-Tyr(But)-Gly-Glu(OBut)-Leu-Gln-Arg-(HBr)-Nle-Glu(OBut)-Glu(OBut)-Lys(Boc)-Glu-(OBut)-Arg(HBr)-Asn-Lys(Boc)-Gly-Gln-OBut and its 13-leucine analog.

Primary biliary cirrhosis and myopathy: an uncommon association.

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a cholestatic liver disease, which is characterized by a chronic inflammatory destruction of intrahepatic bile ducts. It is a rare disorder whose precise etiology is still to be elucidated. Even though the liver is the principal target of PBC, other organ systems also might be affected. Muscular involvement has rarely been described in this disease, and in the majority of cases, muscular weakness has been interpreted as polymyositis. We report the case of a 48-year-old woman suffering from classic PBC, in association with a myopathy whose histological features are distinct from the cases reported before. We also performed a MEDLINE research for PBC and concomitant muscular diseases.
