Database on individual cases of acute poisonings.

A database on individual cases of acute poisonings has been established at the Clinic of Acute Poisonings, Institute of Occupational Medicine. About 3,000 patients yearly are admitted to the Clinic and the mean period of stay is 3-4 days. On the basis of the RDBMS Professional Oracle a method has been designed to prepare, update and select data about the Clinic's patients. The system has been established with a view of developing research on diagnostics and treatment of acute poisonings. Previously, such a study was highly time and effort consuming. Moreover the retrospective material was often inadequate for a detailed analysis. Now, the computer storage of data, makes their utilization more effective and efficient.

Reliability and validity of the Beck Depression Inventory for a white and Mexican-American gerontic population.

Scores on the Beck Depression Inventory from 51 white and Mexican-American gerontic subjects (M age = 70.2 yr.) gave an internal consistency coefficient of .80, so reliability was satisfactory. A parallel validity paradigm yielded a significant product-moment coefficient of .79. No significant mean differences emerged for sex of respondents or for ethnic groups, contributing support for use of Beck's scale with aging minority groups. Beck's scale appears reliable and valid for use in written self-report applications.

Biological aspects of tuftsin activity.

Radioisotopic methods for determination of the biological activity of tuftsin was applied to study the stimulatory effect of this compound as well as of its components. This effect appeared to be dependent on the presence of two amino acids - Proline and Arginine. Administered jointly, they exert much stronger effect than separately.

Tuftsin-like activity of amino acids.

The results presented in this paper revealed high or moderate activity of ten out of nineteen amino acids tested. Strong activity stimulating phagocytosis was noted in the presence of leucine, isoleucine, proline, arginine and histidine; moderate in the presence of serine, cysteine, hydroxyproline, aspartic acid and glutamic acid. Alanine, glycine, valine, threonine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, methionine and lysine did not stimulate phagocytic activity of PMN.
