Inheritance of congenital cataracts and microphthalmia in the Miniature Schnauzer.

Congenital cataracts and microphthalmia in the Miniature Schnauzer were inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. Eighteen matings of affected X affected Miniature Schnauzers resulted in 87 offspring with congenital cataracts and microphthalmia (49 males/38 females). Two matings of congenital cataractous and microphthalmic Miniature Schnauzers (2 females) X a normal Miniature Schnauzer (1 male) yielded 11 clinically normal Miniature Schnauzers (7 males/4 females). Eighteen matings of congenital cataractous and microphthalmic Miniature Schnauzers (6 males) X carrier Miniature Schnauzers (9 females) produced 81 offspring; 39 exhibited congenital cataracts and microphthalmia (20 males/19 females) and 42 had clinically normal eyes (17 males/25 females).

Hormone receptors in male breast carcinoma.

It is well established that approximately 60% of female breast cancers contain estrogen receptors (ER+). The hormonal receptor status of male breast cancers remains relatively unknown. Tumor tissue from 14 patients has been reviewed at the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center. Specimens of all 14 patients were ER+ with a range of 5.5 to 374 fmol/mg protein. Eight of 12 patients had tumors which also contained progesterone receptors (PR+) with a range of 42 to 1852 fmol/mg protein. Nine patients were treated by modified radical mastectomy, two by radical mastectomy, one by simple mastectomy, and two by biopsies only. Twelve patients remain free of disease with a mean follow-up of less than 2 years. The two patients who developed metastases both responded to endocrine ablation by orchiectomy and subsequent adrenalectomy. These data suggest that male breast cancer is highly endocrine sensitive and that endocrine ablation can play an integral part in those men unfortunate enough to develop disseminated disease.

High performance reversed phase chromatography of cholesterol and cholesteryl esters of human plasma lipoproteins.

Cholesterol and cholesteryl esters were separated according to their carbon number and number of double bonds by high performance reversed-phase chromatography (HPRC) using acetonitrile/chloroform/methanol (1:1:1, v/v) as a mobile phase. It was found that within the same equivalent carbon number (ECN) category, cholesteryl esters with the highest number of double bonds eluted ahead of those with a lower number of double bonds, and with the cis isomers eluting ahead of their trans partners. Thus, cholesteryl oleate (C27-18:1c) elutes ahead of cholesteryl palmitate (C27-16:0) and ahead of cholesteryl elaidate (C27-18:1t). Human lipoprotein, as well as rat liver cholesteryl esters, were separated using this technique.

Characterization of mephenytoin metabolites in human urine by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.

Metabolites of mephenytoin (5-ethyl-3-methyl-5-phenylhydantoin) were characterized in human urine following chromatography on XAD-2 resin, permethylation, and combined gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Four glucuronide metabolites previously unidentified in man were characterized as their permethylated derivatives by chemical-ionization and electron-impact mass spectrometry. These metabolites included 5-ethyl-5-(hydroxyphenyl)-3-methylhydantoin O-glucuronide; 5-hydroxyethyl-3-methyl-5-phenyl-hydantoin O-glucuronide; 5-ethyl-5-(hydroxymethoxyphenyl)-3-methylhydantoin O-glucuronide; and a metabolite tentatively identified as 5-ethyl-5-phenylhydantoin N3-glucuronide in which both N-demethylation and glucuronide conjugation of the hydantoin ring have occurred. Mephenytoin, N-demethylmephenytoin, 5-ethyl-5-(hydroxyphenyl)-3-methylhydantoin, and 5-ethyl-5-(hydroxymethoxyphenyl)-3-methylhydantoin were characterized in extracts of enzymatically hydrolyzed urine.
