Purification, crystallisation and preliminary X-ray diffraction study of ribosome inactivating protein: saporin.

We report here the crysallisation and molecular replacement results on the structure determination of S-9 isoform of the ribosome inactivating protein saporin. The protein was purified to homogeneity by a simple and efficient protocol. The crystals belong to the space group I4l with a = b = 91.47 A, c = 150.66 A and contain two molecules in the asymmetric unit.

Role of transbronchial lung biopsy in diffuse pulmonary disease: a review of 25 cases during one year.

Transbronchial lung biopsy using the fibreoptic videobronchoscope was carried out in 25 patients with diffuse pulmonary disease. There were no serious complications. Satisfactory specimens were obtained in 20 of the 25 patients. A histological diagnosis was made in 10 patients. The problems of interpreting pulmonary fibrosis have been highlighted. Fibreoptic transbronchial lung biopsy is a safe and useful adjunct to the diagnosis of diffuse parenchymal pulmonary disease.

Carcinoma oesophagus in a 14 year old child: report of a case and review of literature.

A 14 year old boy with well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma of the upper oesophagus is being presented because of its rarity. The patient presented with dysphagia for 8 months. Barium swallow and endoscopy revealed a narrowing in the upper oesophagus with a proximal dilatation diverticulum. No definite aetiologic factor could be demonstrated. The case was treated with definitive irradiation with excellent immediate response.
