Dental fellowships in developmental disabilities help broaden care of disabled.

Continuation of the national trend toward deinstitutionalization and community placement for persons with developmental disabilities, physical handicaps and other medical problems will mean increased demand for dentists trained to care for this segment of the population. The New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities now offers dental fellowships in developmental disabilities to help fill the learning gap.

Immunochemical differences between glucocorticoid receptors from corticoid-sensitive and -resistant malignant lymphocytes.

We have explored the possibility of using antibodies against purified rat liver glucocorticoid receptors to study the immunochemical properties of glucocorticoid receptors from murine and human malignant lymphocytes. For this purpose, purified immune immunoglobulin G was covalently linked to Sepharose CL-4B. We then examined the ability of the affinity gel to recognize cytosolic [3H]triamcinolone acetonide-receptor complexes from the corticoid-sensitive (CS) and -resistant strains of mouse lymphoma P1798, from CS lymphocytes of patients with chronic lymphatic leukemia, and from a CS clone of human leukemic lymphoblasts in tissue culture (CH6). Mouse thymus was used as a source of glucocorticoid receptor from normal CS lymphocytes. Whereas the immunoaffinity column retained 70 to 84% of the 58- to 62-A (Stokes radius) [3H]triamcinolone acetonide-receptor complexes characteristic of the CS mouse and human lymphocytes, it failed to recognize the 27- to 28-A (Stokes radius) glucocorticoid receptor present in corticoid-resistant mouse lymphoma P1798 cells. Therefore, under appropriate experimental conditions, it was possible to demonstrate cross-reactivity between the antiserum against rat liver glucocorticoid receptor and the 58- to 62-A (Stokes radius) glucocorticoid receptor from species as diverse as mouse and humans.

A simple test to determine the need for occlusal treatment.

This report has described simple confirmation tests which show the direct relationship between a patient's occlusal interferences and his neuromuscular or temporomandibular articulation dysfunction. These tests are simple to perform, take only a few minutes, and aid in confirming the need for occlusal therapy.

Chronic myofascial pain-dysfunction syndrome with chest pain.

A patient with a myofascial pain-dysfunction (MPD) syndrome with pain radiating into the chest has been described. A direct relationship between a dental malocclusion and the chest pain was confirmed by tests. The patient was treated for MPD syndrome related to the malocclusion, and the chest pain symptoms were relieved. This report demonstrates the need for the dentist to consider not only the muscles of mastication in the management of problems of the neuromuscular apparatus but also the delicate balance which exists between the masticatory apparatus and the postural muscles of the head and neck.

Aspects of anaesthetic management of heterologous extracorporeal hepatic support in patients with acute liver failure.

Some anaesthetic aspects of heterologous extracorporeal hepatic support for patients with acute liver failure have been investigated in animals and men. Two types of anaesthesia during hepatectomy in pigs were performed in 20 experiments divided into two groups. A convenient anaesthetic technique was found to be the combined use of neuroleptanalgesics, gamma-OH, small doses of thiopental sodium and nitrous oxide--oxygen mixture. The necessity for care in the procedure of temporary liver support for 'poor-risk' patients is outlined. A minimal use of drugs which are metabolized by the liver, and avoidance of potent analgesics, narcotics, hypotension and hypoxia are the main principles for safe extracorporeal hepatic assistance to critically ill patients.
