Comparative study of the structure of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from bovine heart muscle.

Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase with a specific activity of 153 units/mg protein was isolated from bovine heart muscle. Its relative molecular mass was found to be 144,000. The tryptic peptide map and amino acid analysis were obtained. The N-terminal sequence was established as Val-Lys-Val-Gly-Val-Asn-Gly-... and C-terminal as ...-Ala-Ser-Lys-Glu. Fluorescence and optimal rotation dispersion measurements were performed. The data were compared with other glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenases.

Pathologists' assistant training programs: a report.

This report describes the training of pathologists' assistants in three training programs: at Duke University, at Quinnipiac College associated with Yale University, and at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. The role of this new health profession is described as well as the job situation, experience, and current status of accreditation.

The development of the upper end of the femur, with special reference to its internal architecture.

The development of the upper end of the femur was determined from radiographic analysis of the hips in 191 children and a small series of cadaver specimens from young subjects, with special attention directed to the internal architecture. At birth, linearly arranged trabeculae are present but not visible on conventional radiographs. During the latter part of the first year, trabeculae are seen on conventional studies in an apparently random orientation. Although the principal medial and lateral groups of trabeculae can be shown on coronal slab sections before the end of the first year, they cannot usually be seen on conventional radiographs until 12 to 24 months. The trabecular pattern is well established by the fifth year, although the secondary lateral and linearly oriented trochanteric trabeculae are not easily seen before adolescence. The relevance of these findings in relation to diseases of the hip and upper femur is examined.
