ROUS SARCOMA IN CHINESE HAMSTERS.

A variant of the Rous sarcoma virus induced tumors in newborn Chinese hamsters within 2 to8 weeks. The tumors grew progressively and sometimes metastasized. They were successfully transplanted in series in Syrian hamsters. The chromosomes of the tumors in the Chinese hamstersas well as of those transplanted into the Syrian hamsters were Chinese hamster chromosomes. Virus was demonstrated in the Chinese hamster tumors by injecting material from the tumors into chickens, where Rous sarcomas subsequently appeared.

Increase of pentobarbitone metabolism induced in rats pretreated with some centrally acting compounds.

Rats treated with phenobarbitone, phenaglycodol, glutethimide, nikethamide, meprobamate, chlorbutol and chlorpromazine showed an increased metabolism of pentobarbitone and, at the same time, a diminished sleeping-time after pentobarbitone. This effect developed 24 hr after treatment, the maximum increase in metabolism occurring after about 48 hr. The increased pentobarbitone metabolism was inhibited by ethionine injected shortly before treatment. Using a liver slice preparation, increased pentobarbitone metabolism was also observed in vitro. These results are in accord with the view that the capacity of compounds to increase pentobarbitone metabolism may be related to their ability to act directly on microsomal enzyme systems.
