Uptake of 67Ga in the regenerating rat liver and its relationship to lysosomal enzyme activity.

The uptake of 67Ga citrate has been studied in the regenerating rat liver over a period up to 72 hr after partial hepatectomy. The concentration of 67Ga was found to be maximal (four times that of controls) 42 hr after hepatectomy. This was shown to be related to lysosomal enzyme activity rather than to specific phases of the cell cycle, there being a highly significant correlation (p smaller than 0.001) with aryl sulfatase activity. In both regenerating and normal rat livers, it was shown that 67Ga uptake is reduced when protein synthesis is inhibited by cycloheximide but is unaffected by inhibition of DNA synthesis by cytosine arabinoside.

Haemoglobin A2 level in pregnancy.

The haemoglobin A(2) level was measured in 217 pregnant and 137 non-pregnant patients. Twenty-eight patients were reinvestigated at least six weeks after delivery. There was no significant difference in the mean haemoglobin A(2) level in pregnancy (2.4 +/- 0.8%) and the mean haemoglobin A(2) level in the non-pregnant controls (2.3 +/- 0.6%). In all anaemic patients whose A(2) level was raised in pregnancy the level remained elevated after delivery.
