โœฆ Synopsis

As previous studies indicate, some cases of malignant melanoma are clearly hormonally dependent as demonstrated by their stimulation by pregnancy and regression following delivery. A case of melanoma initiated during pregnancy and stimulated by a subsequent pregnancy was studied with biochemical receptor studies before and after endocrine manipulation. The negative steriod receptor studies obtained late in the patient's disease at time of endocrine manipulation predicted the lack of response. Results of this study indicate investigations are needed to define the relationship between malignant melanoma and pregnancy.

Male Wistar rats were exposed continuously for 1 or 2 months to 25 or 100 ppm CO. The concentrations of noradrenaline in the hypothalamus, corticosterone and thyroxine in serum and of adrenal catecholamines were estimated. After exposure to 25 ppm CO no significant changes were observed in the serum

To assess the effect of smoking on maternal serum, second-trimester inhibin A levels, we studied a database of 1277 women undergoing antenatal serum screening. There were 75 smokers, 1008 non-smokers and 194 women in whom smoking status was undetermined. All groups were matched for age, gestation an

In the rabbit bladder, pregnancy and prolonged bladder contractions decrease both muscarinic receptor density and contractile response, whereas newborns show enhanced muscarinic contractile response. Although the M 2 receptor predominates in rabbit bladder, we and others have shown that the affinity
