The effect on epidermal DNA synthesis of a combination of topical steroid with either dithranol or tar as used for psoriasis.

The hairless mouse was used to investigate the effects of a combination of glucocorticosteroid with either dithranol or tar on epidermal DNA synthesis, in order to determine whether such combinations reduce epidermal DNA synthesis more effectively than the single agents. Dithranol alone produced a significant local inhibition of DNA synthesis at concentrations of 0.1% and 0.05% but not at lower concentrations. Dose-response data for dilutions of clobetasol propionate and betamethasone 17-valerate showed progressive diminution of both local and systemic effects with decreasing concentrations. An additive effect was found from combining clobetasol propionate with dithranol and from combining betamethasone 17-valerate with liquor picis carbonis. These combined preparations were tested again after storage for 6 months and 2 months respectively and showed no loss of efficacy. These results lend justification to the use of these combined preparations in the treatment of psoriasis.

Influence of pyrazole on hepatic [1-14C] palmitate oxidation during acute ethanol intoxication.

When studied at different times following ethanol intubation, the effects of pyrazole, administered to rats prior to ethanol, affects differently the alcohol-induced disturbances in hepatic [1-14C] palmitate oxidation. This peculiar time-course of the pyrazole induced effects supports the relationship between active ethanol oxidation and inhibition of hepatic fatty acid oxidation, but also emphasizes the caution which must be taken when using pyrazole to study "in vivo" the mechanisms involved in the alcohol induced fatty liver.

Characterization of V-prime factors in Escherichia coli K-12.

An episome derived from an Hfr(v) (Hfr isolated from a V colicinogenic parent) strain of Escherichia coli K-12 was isolated and characterized. The direction of gene transfer was inverted from that in the original parental strain.
