    Notes: Background Corticosteroid therapy has become the mainstay in the treatment of asthma. However, the risk-benefit balance in the patient calls for assessment of the state of inflammation in the airways. In this respect serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) might be a marker, which can easily be measured in a clinical setting. Studies have indicated a relation between level of serum ECP and activity and severity in asthma.Objective To investigate the feasibility to guide steroid therapy on the basis of the level of serum ECP in patients with chronic asthma.Methods Twenty adult patients on maintenance inhaled steroid therapy visited the chest clinic once every 2 months over a 12-month period. At each visit a short history, blood sample for ECP and number of eosinophils, baseline spirometry, and histamine inhalation provocation test (PC20) were obtained. On the basis of level of ECP, adjustments in daily dose of steroids were considered. Data were compared with those of a previous 6-month ECP evaluation study in these same patients.Results In 10 patients mean dose of inhaled steroids was decreased 〈inlineGraphic alt="geqslant R: gt-or-equal, slanted" extraInfo="nonStandardEntity" href="urn:x-wiley:09547894:CEA519:ges" location="ges.gif"/〉 25%. ECP rose slightly (antilogged mean from 9.06 to 11.8μg/L) and lung function decreased slightly (mean FEV1%predicted from 85.5 to 81.6). In seven patients mean dose of inhaled or oral (n= 2) steroids was increased 〈inlineGraphic alt="geqslant R: gt-or-equal, slanted" extraInfo="nonStandardEntity" href="urn:x-wiley:09547894:CEA519:ges" location="ges.gif"/〉 25%. In this group ECP decreased but remained elevated at 〈inlineGraphic alt="geqslant R: gt-or-equal, slanted" extraInfo="nonStandardEntity" href="urn:x-wiley:09547894:CEA519:ges" location="ges.gif"/〉20μg/L (antilogged mean from 30.5 to 25.6μg/L) and lung function improved (mean FEV1%predicted from 67.2 to 74.5). In both groups patients' scores of asthmatic well-being increased significantly, and PC20 did not show a trend. Exacerbation rate remained the same in the decreased and the no change group (n= 3, in which no substantial change in steroid dose occurred), but was reduced by about 50% in the increased group.Conclusion From this observational study it is concluded that adjusting steroid therapy guided by serum ECP-level may be helpful in tailoring asthma treatment.

    Notes: Sera from 204 adult patients with chronic airways obstruction were analysed with the Phadiatop®, a new allergosorbent test with a paper disc containing the most relevant inhalant allergens, the PRIST for total IgE determinations, and a panel of seven RAST tests with the common inhalant allergens in The Netherlands as reference. The aim was to evaluate the Phadiatop as screening test in the in vitro diagnostic procedures in an epidemiological setting. The Phadiatop was classified positive or negative according to percentage binding, total IgE was considered elevated at values 〉 100 kU/1 and the RAST panel positive when at least one RAST result was class 〉 1. The prevalence of inhalant atopy came to 27.9%. The predictive value of the Phadiatop for a positive RAST panel was 96.4%, and for a negative RAST panel 97.3%. For the PRIST these values were 51.9% and 87.2% respectively. The correlation between the log percentages binding of the Phadiatop and the RAST panel was 0.93. It is concluded that the Phadiatop is a valuable test for the screening of inhalant atopy, and as the percentage binding of the Phadiatop may reflect the degree of sensitization it could also be applied as a quantitative measure especially for epidemiological purposes.

    Notes: Abstract The complete sequence of the plasmid pHly152-encoded hemolysin (hly) determinant of Escherichia coli is presented and compared with a recently sequenced chromosomal hly determinant [1]. High sequence homology between the two hly determinants is observed withìn all four structural genes, hlyC, A, B and D, but little sequence similarities are found in the 3′- and 5′-noncoding flanking regions. In addition, the noncoding region upstream of hlyC which carries the promoter for hlyC, A and B, was sequenced for several chromosomal hly determinants. The comparison of these sequences indicates three distinct classes of promoter regions which share common putative −10 and −35 boxes at roughly the same location relative to the start of hlyC.

    Notes: This work is concerned with statistical methods to estimate yield and maintenance parameters associated with microbial growth. For a given dilution rate, an experimenter typically measures substrate concentration, oxygen utilization rate, the rate of carbon dioxide evolution, and biomass concentration. These correlated response variables each contain information about the maintenance and yield parameters of interest. A maximum likelihood estimator which combines this correlated information for the yield and maintenance parameters is proposed, evaluated, and tested on literature data. Both point and interval estimators are considered.

    Notes: The microorganism Candida utilis was grown on both filtered and unfiltered substrate obtained from enzymatic hydrolysis of starch in corn dust. For growth on filtered substrate, the average integrated biomass energetic yield value based on biomass-substrate data was η = 0.55 and for growth on unfiltered substrate an average yield value of η = 0.59 was obtained. Material and energy balances showed that the presence of unfiltered corn residue in the media had no significant effect on the yields. Statistical methods were developed and used to obtain best estimates of the growth parameters. Values of the biomass energetic yield corrected for maintenance (ηmax = 0.619) and the maintenance coefficient (me = 0.043) were obtained for growth on filtered substrate. Values of ηmax = 0.741 and me = 0.142 were obtained for the growth on unfiltered substrate. The consistency of data and parameter estimates was relatively good for filtered substrate; however, parameter estimates for unfiltered substrate were not consistent. Growth experiments without filtration of the products of starch hydrolysis resulted in protein-enriched products with about 39.73% protein.

    Notes: Aus Adenium Boehmianum Schinz (ganze Pflanzen) wurden drei krist. herzaktive Glykoside isoliert. Der in grösster Menge (0,107%) erhaltene Stoff dürfte mit dem von Boehm aus derselben Pflanze erhaltenen Echujin identisch sein. Ein zweites Glykosid (0,0327% Ausbeute) war mit Somalin (V) identisch. Das dritte Glykosid wurde nur in kleiner Menge (0,0054%) erhalten und dürfte neu sein, wir nennen es Abobiosid. Nach Acetylierung der amorphen Anteile liess sich als vierter krist. Stoff (0,019%) Digitalinum-verum-hexacetat (XXIII) isolieren.
