[Epidemiological study of periodontal disease. Mass examination in university students with CPITN].

The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and treatment needs of periodontal disease in the 1,150 university students (male: 726, female: 424) by using simplified Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN-S). The results were as follows: 1. Approximately 85% of all the subjects have something wrong in periodontal tissue. If examined in detail; 1) Code 4: a group (1.6%) who had a deep pocket more than 6 mm. 2) Code 3: a group (20.1%) who had a shallow pocket 4 to 5 mm. 3) Code 2: a group (55.9%) who had supra- or subgingival calculus. 4) Code 1: a group (7.5%) who had bleeding on probing only. 2. As for treatment needs (TN), approximately 78% of the subjects need to receive professional prophylaxis and more complex treatment including periodontal surgery (TN 2-3). 3. Average time required to examine one subject was about one minute, so we could cut down the measuring time. From this point, we have understood that simplified CPITN was greatly effective to curtail the time for the primary screening of periodontal disease in the young age group.

Mode of disulfide bond formation of a heat-stable enterotoxin (STh) produced by a human strain of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli.

To determine the modes of three disulfide linkages in the heat-stable enterotoxin (STh) produced by a human strain of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, we synthesized STh(6-18), which consists of 13 amino acid residues and has the same intramolecular disulfide linkages as native STh [(1985) FEBS Lett. 181, 138-142], by stepwise and selective formation of disulfide bonds using different types of removable protecting groups for the Cys residues. Synthesis of the peptide with different modes of disulfide bond formation provided three peptides consistent with standard STh(6-18) in their physicochemical and biological properties, thereby indicating that the disulfide bonds in STh(6-18) are Cys-Cys-Glu-Leu-Cys-Cys-Asn-Pro-Ala-Cys-Thr-Gly-Cys.

Changes in mental functions after open-heart operations. Methodolgical aspects.

The authors present an attempt to develop methodological points of view on studies of changes in mental functions after various forms of anaesthesia and operation, e.g. open-heart operations. The value of results from unoperated control patients examined with the same methods and at the same intervals, is pointed out. Intraindividual changes in scores from pretest to post-tests seem to be the best measure of postoperative mental functions. For a more accurate appraisal of the results in a material of this kind, it is also recommended to make only a limited number of basic tests of specified hypotheses. For many investigations in this field para metric methods are unsuitable and nonparametric statics should therefore be preferred.

A case-referent study on neuropsychiatric disorders among workers exposed to solvents.

Published reports give justification for the belief that long-term exposure to solvents might induce chronic but nonspecific neuropsychiatric conditions. This case-referent study of data from a regional Swedish pension fund register indicated a risk ration of 1.8 in regard to nonspecific neuropsychiatric disorders among workers such as painters, varnishers and carpetlayers who are exposed to solvents as compared to workers not so exposed. Moreover a dose-response relationship seems to exist between exposure in terms of occupational years and neuropsychiatric conditions, the result being that persons affected are considered eligible for disability pensions.
