Genetic control of combining sites of insulin antibodies produced by guinea pigs.
1. Genetic factors control the configuration of combining sites of guinea pig insulin antibodies. 2. It is possible that the configuration of the combining sites of guinea pig insulin antibodies is controlled by more than one gene and not by multiple alleles at a given gene locus.

Transcultural nurses reflect on discoveries in China using Leininger's Sunrise model.
This paper is a descriptive report of transcultural nursing discoveries in China. The authors embarked on this study tour led by an experienced transcultural nurse educator which presented a challenging opportunity to discover Chinese culture, lifeways, and health care systems. The authors were challenged to learn about cultural differences and the importance for nurses to use transcultural nursing principles and the Culture Care Theory with research findings about diverse cultures. Leininger's (1991) Theory of Culture Care and Sunrise Model were the conceptual and theoretical guides used to discover the worldview, lifeways, and cultural values of the Chinese people. The Sunrise Model depicts the components of a culture which include worldview, cultural and environmental context, and seven social structure factors. Analysis of these dimensions of the Sunrise Model enabled the authors to discover the important values, beliefs, and lifeways of the Chinese people. Religious and philosophical, kinship and social, political and legal, and economic factors were most important for this culture. In addition culture care expressions, patterns, and practices for health and well being were highly valued by this culture. The Sunrise Model includes diverse health systems which offer generic, folk, and/or professional care. The Chinese culture includes a strong reliance on folk health care systems which persists today. This paper discusses the simultaneous use of folk and professional health care by the Chinese people and implications for transcultural nurses.

A new concept in cancer care: the supportive care program.
This article describes the findings of a pilot program designed to enter advanced prostate cancer patients into the hospice benefit while they are still being actively treated, but in situations where treatment is known to be primarily palliative in nature. The supportive care program (SCP) combines the medical model's goal to prolong life with the goal of hospice to palliate symptoms and improve quality of life (QOL). The concept of a SCP was developed to create a team approach where advanced prostate cancer patients who are starting investigational chemotherapy are concurrently enrolled into a hospice program. The objectives were to identify whether SCP improved QOL and continuity of care while remaining cost-effective. Data were collected on patient quality of life, performance status, use of health care resources, and costs for the 36 enrolled patients. A comparison was made to a matched set of 23 control patients. Our findings indicate that the SCP contributes to continuity of care while being cost-effective.
