Comparison of ontogenetic brain growth in marine and coastal dolphins.

In young postnatal individuals, brain growth proceeds at a much faster rate in the high seas dolphin Stenella than in the coastal waters form Pontoporia, and the encephalization is much higher in the former than in the latter. In prenatal Stenella, brain growth is also very rapid. These results agree with indices of brain progression estimated for several families (Platinistidae, Delphinidae, Delphinapteridae, Phocoenidae). The possibility that the difference is related to more demanding conditions of life in marine than in coastal or inland environments is discussed.

Potentiation of 5-fluorouracil, chromomycin A3, and bleomycin by amphotericin B or polymyxin B in transformed fibroblastic cells.

By using cultured, transformed fibroblastic cells, antitumor agents including cytosine arabinoside, thio-tepa, nitrogen mustard N-oxide, mitomycin C, chromomycin A3, 5-fluorouracil, daunomycin, vinblastine, vincristine, and bleomycin A2 were screened for the potentiation of their activity by amphotericin B or polymyxin B. Among them, the action of 5-fluorouracil and chromomycin A3 on ribonucleic acid synthesis was potentiated in their action by amphotericin B, not by polymyxin B. Bleomycin A2 was potentiated in its action on deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid synthesis only by polymyxin B.
