The covalent binding of chemical carcinogens to DNA of mammalian organs is expressed per unit dose, and a 'Covalent-Binding Index', CBI, is defined. CBI for various carcinogens span over 6 orders of magnitude. A similar range is observed for the carcinogenic potency in long-term bioassays on carcinogenicity. For the assessment of a risk from exposure to a carcinogen, the total DN A darnage can be estimated if the actual dose is also accounted for. A detailed description is given for planning and performing a DNA-binding assay. A complete literature survey on DNA binding in vivo (83 compounds) is given with a calculation of CBI, where possible, 153 compounds are listed where a covalent binding to any biological macromolecule has been shown in vivo or in vitro. Recent, so far unpublished findings with aflatoxin Mh macromolecule- bound aflatoxin Bh ·diethylstilbestrol, and 1,2-epithiobutyronitrile are included. A comparison of CBI for rat-liver DNA with hepatocarcinogenic potency reveals a surprisingly good quantitative correlation. Refinements for a DN A-binding assay are proposed. Possibilities and Iimitations in the use of D NA binding in chemical carcinogenesis are discussed extensively.

Carbon-13 shieldings and one-bond \(^{13}\)C-H coupling constants of bicydo[2.1.1]hexane, bicydo[2.l.l]hex- 2-ene, tricydo[3.1.1.0\(^{2.4}\)]heptane and benzvalene are presented and compared. to the data of related. compounds. H a bicydo[3.1.0]hexane system is part of a rigid skeleton, the cydopropane ring exerts spedfk: 'Y substituent eflects of two ldnds. In the case of the bicyclobexane boat form an upfield shift of the C-3 signal is observed and in tbe esse of the chair form a downfield shift of 15-20 ppm. Compared to the corresponding cydopentanes the double bond in strained cydopentenes causes downfield shifts of the C-4 absorption. 1bis eftect increases witb increasing strain, reaching 8 45.9 ppm maximum in benzvalene. Hence it is tbe only known bicydo[l.l.O]butane baving 8 reversed order of carbon shieldings. The downfield shifts are e:xplained by means of simple orbital interaction schemes.
The ultrastructure of autofluorescent, PAS-positive lipofuscin in Purkinje, granule, Golgi epithelial, basket and stellate, microglial and perivascular cells in the cerebellar cortex of senescent rats is described. The membrane- bounded pigment is composed ofthree elements: 1) electron-lucent homogeneaus droplets, 2) a granular matrix and 3) intensely osmiophilic patches. The proportians ofthese three components vary between cell types and one can grossly differentiate a neuronal and a gliallipofuscin. The lipofuscin granules of stellate and perivscular cells are different from lipofuscin of other cerebellar neurons and glia. lt can be concluded from these morphological observations that each cerebellar cell type has its distinct lipofuscin.
Administration of PGF 2IX (0.2-6.4 J.lg) into the lateral cerebral ventricle (i.c.v.) induced dosedependent increases in blood pressure , heart rate and body temperature in urethane-anaesthetised rats, but had no effect on these parameters when the same dose range was administered intravenously. Peripheral pretreatment with sodium meclofenamate (50 mg/kg s.c.) sltifted all the dose-response curves for PGF 2IX (i.c.v.) to the left, but indomethacin (50 mg/kg s.c.) did not significantly affect those changes. Central pretreatment with sodiurn meclofenamate or indomethacin (1.25 mg per rat i.c.v.) failed to modify significantly the effects of centrally administered PGF 2IX' The results support previous suggestions that PGF 2IX may participate in the central control of the cardiovascular and thermoregulatory systems, and also suggest that there may be differences in the sites and/or modes of action between sodiurn meclofenamate and indomethacin.

The crystal structure of the title compound, recrystallized from ethanol, was solved by means of X-ray diffraction methods and could be refined to an R-value of 0.050 with 2126 reflections observed. In contrast to its behaviour in benzene solution, where the compound is monomerie, in the crystalline state dimerie units are formed by intermoleeular Bi-S-interactions. The bismuth atoms are coordinated in form of a slightly distorted pentagonal pyramid with the free electron pair presumably directed opposite the apical C-atom.

Fractionation of nucleic acids and their fragments with polyacrylamide gel has been widely applied in sequencing of nucleic acids. Although the conditions of electrophoresis for this purpose have previously been suggested. we have found that polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis at 5000 V (100 V/cm) is possible and effective. An apparatus consisting of a horizontal thermostated plate is used to remove the heat which was formed during the electrophoretic process. The techniques for loading samples on the horizontal thin gel and the procedure for high-voltage gel electrophoresis are described and illustrated by the fractionation of the spleen phosphodiesterase partial digest of tRNA¥~1 as well as by the RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase from E. coli with poly[d(A- T)j as template in the presence of "terminator," 3'-O-methyluridine 5'-triphosphate. This same technique was used for electrophoresis of oligonucleotides on acetylcellulose and was incorporated into a two-dimensional system which was demonstrated by fingerprinting of the guanylo-RNase digest of tRNAT'P from baker's yeast. In the third part of the article a simple technique for the electric trapping of nucleic acids or their fragments from a slab gel on a DEAE-paper sheet is presented.

Am Konzept der Axialsymmetrie multivariater Daten wird eine Methode entwickelt, mit der statistisch Cluster aus gleich interkorrelierenden Variablen gebildet werden können. Es wird eine heuristische Vorgehensweise empfohlen, die nicht wie die übliche deskriptive Clusteranalyse willkürliche Entscheidungen über Abbruchkriterien u.ä. verlangt. Die vorgeschlagene Methode ist insbesondere zur mediandichotomierte kontinuierliche Variablen geeignet. Werden echte Alternativdaten verwendet, resultieren Cluster, die zusätzlich zur gleichen Interkorrelation Variablen mit gleicher Schwierigkeit aufweisen. Das Vorgehen wird an einem Beispiel illustriert.
