[Migration of transformed fibroblast-like cells on substrates with patterned relief-work (quantitative study)].

The quantitative estimation of migration ability of transformed fibroblast-like cells of various epecies (mouse , rat, hamster, man) cultured on the substratum with grooves of various depth (5--40 mcm) was performed. Of the majority of 11 cell lines examined, a reduced migration capacity up to its total disappeanance was registered as compared with the homological normal embryonic cells. A more pronounced reduction of migration ability was shown in mouse and rat transformed cells and less in human ones. Migration of transformed hamster cells was just equal to the weak migrtion of normal hamster embryonis cells. These data shown a weak response of the analysed transformed cells to the relief of underlying substratum.

Disaster-relief training and mental health.

The author describes a training program in diaster-relief agencies. The program is designed to improve their over-all understanding of disaster-relief work and to increase their sensitivity to the emotional needs of disaster victims. Based on the recommendations of a state task force report, it consists of a workshop that makes use of videotapes and learning exercises to help participants improve their listening skills, learn problem-solving techniques, become aware of behavioral signs that can alert them to victims' emotional reactions, and familiarize them with the work of other relief agencies.

[The Red Cross and Scandinavian disaster aid].

In 1970, the League of Red Cross Societies drew up a plan for the training of delegates in international relief work. The main tasks of the delegates can be divided into: 1) disaster relief, 2) war-time relief work, 3) assistance in organising national Red Cross societies. Special training of certain categories, e. g. doctors, is now being considered. In many relief operations it would be of value to have a doctor as an administrative delegate. It should be easier for the doctor than for a non-medically trained person to decide where and when medical aid should be administered.

Synovectomy of the elbow in rheumatoid arthritis.

The results of 105 synovectomies + resection of the radial head in 84 patients with rheumatoid arthritis are shown. Pain was the main indication for surgery, and 1 1/4-6 2/4 years later about 80 per cent had pain relief at work, 90 per cent pain relief at rest. About 60 per cent of the elbows gained in rotation movement; about 40 per cent gained in hinge movement. Thirteen elbows had to be reoperated. In all cases there was only radial approach to the joint, which the authors find gives adequate exposure, few complications, and easy postoperative treatment.
