[Superwomen are tired.].

The author describes the conditions of married women, with children under the age of six, on the job market. Working has many advantages (salary, financial security for old age, social status, social occasions and self-fulfilment) but creates tensions because of the types and conditions of work of these women. In this respect, the author notes that most women assume inferior jobs with inferior conditions and frequent sexual harassment by men. Even with jobs equivalent to those of men, women suffer from less advantageous professional consideration. To react to these conditions, women have a choice between part-time jobs, a role of super-woman, or a redefinition of the respective roles, and a redivision of the respective tasks. However, these solutions are more often sought on an individual basis. The author complains of the absence of collective services to help women and of the rigidity of the job market.

A girl with mosaicism for a dicentric X chromosome (45,X/46,X,dic(X) (Xqter to p22::p22 to qter)).

A 12-year-old girl was examined for growth retardation and a few very discrete dysmorphologic stigmata of Turner's syndrome; the genitalia were infantile yet both ovaries possessed functioning follicles. R- and C-banding techniques and Brdu treatment demonstrated a 45,X formula in 95% of lymphocytes, with 5% presenting a 46,X,dic(X) formula. Cytogenetic and clinical problems raised by this observation are discussed in relation to data from the literature.

[Striatal syndrome and hypokalemia].

The authors present the case of a patient with a striated syndrome resembling Wilson's disease but without the disorder of cooper metabolism. The clinical picture was completely masked by a hypokalemia at 1 mEq/l following urinary loss of this cation, due to ascending interstitial nephritis. Correction of the potassium deficiency produced rapid reappearance of the initial neurological syndrome.

Molecular features of organic anion permeablity in ox red blood cell.

1. The penetration of organic anions into bovine red blood cells has been studied under experimental conditions where it could be distinguished from the penetration of undissociated acids which proceeds by diffusion through lipid zones of the membrane. 2. Several lines of evidence suggest that the entry of organic anions cannot be ascribed to simple diffusion across aqueous channels limited by positive charges but needs a specific interaction of the penetrating anion with a component of the membrane. 3. The structural requirements allowing for ionic transfer is a strong polar head for the smallest molecules and in addition an amphiphilic structure for acids with chain length greater than C4. Interaction between substrate and receptor requires at least a three point attachment involving three oxygen atoms in the substrate which react with complementary loci on the receptor to form ionic and hydrogen bonds. Such a three point attachment can be made by a sulphonic group or with carboxylic acid by alpha ketosubstitution, alpha hydroxysubstitution, addition of an amidegroup or addition of a second carboxyl group spatially close to the first. 4. As suggested by the behaviour of the formate anion, in such a transport system any carboxylic acid could interact transiently with the receptor and therefore interfere with the transport of an organic anion even though such ionic interaction with the receptor were insufficient to produce transport of the acid itself.
