Volume 6 SPRING 1950 Number 3MID-CENTURY GRADUATING CLASSThe class of 1950 listens attentively (?) to M. Louise Cason, president, in a meeting about finances.In September, 1946, members of thest postwar class converged on the medi­l quadrangle of the University of Chi­go, About half were continuing their'ldemic training without interruption.any came from battlefields in Europed Asia, others from assignments inrica. There were officers and recentlyived dog-faces among them. Some haden called heroes.Do you remember how during orienta­n week we were sullied, tested, andirly tasted by the psychologists? Dr.isserrnann had been newly placed inirge of the anatomy course, and no oneI forget the affection and kindness wi thich he received his ward. In the Anat-• y Building the rooms were not quiteI. dv until a swee tish nunve nr-v a n- nounced that our cadavers were in thebins. Then medical school really began.We came to know each other in theyear over the dissecting tables. Welearned that our average age was threeyears older than that of the usual fresh­man medical class. One morning an ideapassed back, forth, and around the his­tology bench: to have a class organiza­tion. Shortly thereafter Ted Johnston waselected president. In the sophomore yearStan Zemer ca�paigned successfully withhis winning smile and exquisite dignity.Succeeding class executives were JimBond and Louise Cason in the junior andsenior years, respectively.In the autumn of 1947 we moved tothe back of the hospital, and the patholo­p'i<;t<; hpp'�n to t a lk to 11<; a hou t ni<;p�<;p Dr Cannon's first assignment was that we godown and learn the names on the plaquesover the rear entrance. We hadn't evenknown they were there. In the fifth quar­ter it seemed as if everyone in the pre­clinical departments was trying to say afinal word. Then everyone bought astethoscope. Do you remember how dur­ing the first week it felt big and con­spicuous, and your cuff always seemedto get caught in the earpiece?The following summer the class wasbroken into four units, and people startedto call us "Doctor." We bought hematol­ogy trays from the seniors and heard ournames on telcpage. "Call A-4" rang in ourears, and the group in surgery told anec­dotes about Wednesday morning.

M. BERNARDOne of the fundamental conjugatingmechanisms in the body involves the join­ing-together of glucuronic acid with toxicsubstances containing a free hydroxylgroup, such as estriol, menthol, and di­ethyl stilbesterol. This process is believedto be facilitated by an enzyme, beta glu­curonidase, the activity of which has beendemonstrated in human and animal tis­sues. The purpose of this study was to de­termine the activity of beta glucuronidasein the various tissues of the pregnant al­bino rat.As in humans, the glucuronidase ac­tivity in rat blood serum increased duringgestation. In addition, an increase was ob­served in rat liver and spleen, and a de­crease occurred in ovarian activity. It is ofspecial interest that the greatest change,the highest activity recorded in any tis­sue, was found in the uterus at the site ofimplantation of the placenta. The signifi­cance of this is not known, but it suggeststhe possibility that fetal metabolic wasteproducts are inactivated in the uterus.Histologic sections of uterine tissue show­ing the highest activity contained anabundance of trophoblastic cells. No sig­nificant change of activity in placenta wasnoted. The greatest activity in fetal tissueoccurs early in gestation, during stages ofgreatest growth. This correlates with find­ings by Levy and co-workers and suggeststhat beta glucuronidase activity is closelyassociated with growth. Activity in otherorgans was unchanged during pregnancyin the rat.The Effect of Whole-BodyIrradiation on the Suscepti­bility of Mice to InfluenzaA VirusBy ERNEST BUETLER andHORACE M. GEZON, M.D.Twelve hundred 4-5-week-old micewith LDso of 635 r were given hard ir­radiation in individual compartments ofa rotating circular perforated aluminumcage. Doses given ranged from 100 to600 r. Three days after irradiation, micewere inoculated with a PRs strain of in­fluenza A virus in a dynamic aerosolchamber together with un irradiated con­trols. No difference in morbidity rate wasobserved between the irradiated and the control animals at any dosage. However,at all but the lowest X-ray levels, markedincrease in the extent of lesions was seen,and the antibody titer was sharply de­creased when compared with the controlmice.PublicationsBy NICK FUGO andDR. M. EDWARD DAVISThe scope of research done includes va­rious problems in the study of the physiol­ogy of menstruation and gestation. Em­phasis has been placed on the factors re­sponsible for habitual abortion and otherobstetrical abnormalities. Hormonal andother factors have been investigated andreported. Seven papers have been pub­lished, and two are in press.Studies on the Effect of Sple­nectomy on the Productionof Circulating AntibodyBy DONALD ADAMS ROWLEY1. THE EFFECT OF SPLENEC­TOMY IN THE ADULT MALEALBINO RATSUMMARYIn the splenectomized rat the produc­tion of circulating antibody is a functionof the dosage of antigen and the route ofadministration of antigen. If the dosage issmall and given intravenously, the sple­nectomized rat responds with a low circu­lating antibody titer. If the same smalldose of antigen is given intraportallyorintraperitoneally, the splenectomized ani­mal responds as well as does the controlanimal. The immunological response ofthe splenectomized rat is the samewhether immunization takes place onehour, fourteen days, two months, or sixmonths after splenectomy. Specific im­munization prior to splenectomy does notalter the response of the rats to the samespecific immunization following splenec­tomy. The results were similar for two an­tigens tested, sheep erythrocytes and abacterial vaccine, both particulate an­tigens.II. THE EFFECT OFSPLENECTOMY IN THE HUMANSUMMARYSixteen control and fourteen splenec­tomized patients were injected intrave­nously with 1.0 ml. of a 2.0% suspensionof washed sheep erythrocytes. All con­trols responded with a significant rise inantibody titer between nine to fourteendays after immunization. Thirteen out offourteen splenectomized patients failed torespond with a significant rise in antibodytiter during this same time interval. Sple­nectomy had been performed eight daysto forty months prior to immunization. The possible significance of these findiris discussed in terms of three syndromacquired hemolytic anemia, idiopatthrombocytopenia, and erythroblastcfoetalis. .An Evaluation of Radioidine in the Treatment olHyperthyroidism *By J. H. RULE, DRS. R. H. MOE,E. E. ADAMS, D. E. CLARKDuring the past thirty months, radiodine therapy has been instituted in Icases of hyperthyroidism. This paperports the experience in management100 of these cases in which therapy 1been completed. In case selection, the flowing criteria were used: (I) recurrehyperthyroidism; (2) hyperthyroidi:associated with other pathology, suchsevere heart disease; (3) propylthiourafailure in patients who decline surge)and (4) uncomplicated hyperthyroidiin the older age group., Initially, a tracer study employing cmillicurie of radioiodine was compleuIf gland uptake and conversion ratio Iinto the hyperthyroid range as previou:reported by this group, radioiodine thapy was begun. Dosage was based pmarily on gland size, attempting to cminister 100 millicuries for every gramthyroid tissue. B.M.R.'s and clinicalevuation were made at eight-week intervaFurther radioiodine administration \\based upon degree of response to the itial dose.All 100 cases responded. Eighty-eighad a satisfactory remission; nine devoped hypothyroidism; three becaimyxedematous. Total dosage in diffuseenlarged glands ranged from 1.1 to I:millicuries, with an average of 5.6 nDosage in patients with nodular glanranged from 2.2 to 43.9 mc., with an avoage of I 1.7. Other than the instanceshypothyroidism, no complication tbeen observed. The results suggest tlradioiodine is a valuable agent in ttreatment of selected cases of hypertlroidism.The Effect of Particle Siiof Air-borne Droplets Cortaining Group C Strepncocci on Inducing Respir.tory Infections in MiceBy LAWRENCE SONKINA series of experiments was carried cto determine the effect of particle sizeair-borne droplets containing group*In press. Journal of Clinical EndocrinoloMEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN 3streptococci on inducing respiratory in­fections in mice.First it was established by separatelyinoculating the nose and lung that upperand lower respiratory infections could bedifferentiated in mice which succumbed.A method for measuring the distributionof bacteria in aerosol particles of differentsizes with the cascade impactor was thendevised and its validity was confirmed ex­perimentally. With the use of this infor­mation it was then possible to show thatthe aerosol dose necessary to produce fa­tal lower respiratory infections in half ofthe mice increased about 10,000 fold asthe median particle diameter increasedfrom I to 12 microns, whereas the doseproducing the same proportion of upperrespiratory infections changed only 50fold in the same size range.Perfusion of the IsolatedRat Spinal CordBy ROBERT D. TSHIRGIAlthough the biochemistry of thebrain and neuronal function have bothbeen explored in considerable detail, at­tempts to relate these mutually depend­ent aspects of the central nervous systemhave been relatively few. The standard invitro biochemical techniques prohibit theuse of a functional index, and in vivopreparations interpose too many variablesfor accurate biochemical study of a sin­gle organ through blood analyses. Wehave devised a method for maintaining anisolated functional rat spinal cord by per­fusion with artificial blood, which lendsitself admirably to combined functionaland metabolic studies. One minute as­phyxia or 2-4 minutes perfusion with glu­cose abolished the reflex response in thispreparation. Recovery was completewithin 2 minutes on restoring oxygen orglucose, even after more than 30 minutesdeprivation. Of many Kreb's cycle inter­mediates and amino acids tried, only py­ruvate, isocitrate, alph-ketoglutarate,glutamate, and glutamine were able toreplace glucose in maintaining synaptic'unction. Succinate was oxidized in largequantities but was unable to support re­lex activity. Apparently, successful me­:abolism of a substrate does not guarantee:he support of function.The' Basil Harvey FundA group of former students, colleagues,.nd friends have organized The BasilIarvey Fund to honor Dr. Harvey's al­nost half-century of service to medicalducation. An urgent need for a revolvingian fund for both undergraduate andraduate students of medicine at the Uni­ersity of Chicago provides a fitting pur­ost for this tribute to Dr. B. C. H..Iarvey.Dr. Harvey, a graduate of the Univer­ty of Toronto, came to the University ofhicago and Rush Medical College in·)01 as Assistant in Anatomy. In 1917 he The Division of Psychiatry: Activities and PerspectivesExpanding public demand for medicalservices has emphasized the need for morephysicians in both general practice and inthe various specialties. Even the forcedexpansion of medical training during thewar and the postwar years has not takencare of the demand. Medical schools con­tinue to be extraordinarily expensive,both to the student and to the commu­nity upon which they depend for support.Where there is increased demand, it willbe met in some fashion. The psychiatricneeds for some are being supplied by reli­gion and well-trained lay therapists. Agood example is Alcoholics Anonymous,Incorporated. This organization employsa technique with many sound principlesthat can be understood psychiatricallyalthough not implementable by thedoctor.The medical profession can, however,provide leadership for the psychiatricneeds of the public. Improvement inteaching and increased attention to theemotional aspects of illness can enable alldoctors to assume supervisory responsi­bility for psychiatric treatment. Full usewill have to be made of our professionalallies in nursing and social service. Moretraining can also be provided for a greaternumber of physicians in psychiatry andclosely allied specialties. This means asacrifice on the part of all members of themedical fraternity so that recruiting peo­ple for teaching and training in psychia­try is facilitated. Training requires fiveyears beyond internship because the psy­chiatrist must master the problems ofmedicine, psychology, and the social sci­ences relevant to his practice. Our goal isto make available a better quality ofpsychiatric practice. Therefore, the stand­ards of training must be high; otherwise itwill fail and offer little more than the rela­tively untrained lay therapist. Improvingthe quality will not only lead to betterservice but to increased ability to teachothers and, thereby, guarantee the con­tinual raising of service standards. Thisprogram will finally yield research­minded men who can provide leadershipfor the medical profession. We must ex­pect that there will be at least a ten-yearlag before current needs are fulfilled, notonly because of the great deficit, but alsobecause the public market is competingwith both training and research.At the University of Chicago generalneeds are being met by providing everymedical student with more than 250hours of training. The basic concepts ofpsychiatry are presented in lecture formwas appointed Dean of Students in theOgden Graduate School of Science of theUniversity, and in 1923, Dean of MedicalStudents. When the Divisions were or­ganized in 193 I, he became Dean of allstudents in the Biological Sciences, whichposition he retained until his retirement(Cont. 011 page 12) during the sophomore year. As juniorsand seniors the clinical work under super­vision in the hospital and in the out­patient department is amplified by seriesof lectures in which psychiatric and psy­chosomatic syndromes are presented. Forthose students who desire further training,an elective quarter is available.The resident training program is ofthree years' duration. The specialtyboard, however, requires two additionalyears. Most of the residents have had twoor more years of medical work beforethey begin their psychiatric training.Since the understanding of the patient'srelation to the doctor and the doctor'srelation to the patient is the keystone topsychotherapy, the skilled psychothera­pist must have special acquaintance withhis own personality organization. It is forthis reason that a personal psychoanaly­sis, supervised analytic work, and didac­tic work in psychoanalysis have becomerequirements of our postgraduate trainingprogram.The research interests of the membersof the Division of Psychiatry are varied.Problems in psychosomatic medicine thatare being investigated include: arthritis,asthma, hypertension, ulcerative colitis,peptic ulcer following vagotomy, and en­docrine functions in anxiety states. Spe­cial therapeutic problems that are underscrutiny revolve about management ofambulatory psychotics. Much attentionis being directed to organic cerebral defi­cits. Mild cerebral damage that occurs inthe course of generalized systemic dis­ease is being investigated by combinedpsychiatric and experimental psychologi­cal techniques. The psychological factorsand dynamics operative in epilepsy, Par­kinsonism, and spasmodic torticollis arealso under examination. From the experi­mental psychological side, further valida­tion of the basic factors in biological in­telligence are being carried out along withcontinued development and refinement ofbasic instrumentation. Clinical psycho­logical investigations include the use ofprojective techniques in psychosomaticdisorders, of spatial designs on organicreaction types, of experimental forms fortesting infants and blind children. Psy­chological studies and the application ofpsychoanalysis to social thinkers andtheir productions are claiming the atten­tion of two members of the staff. As far asnew teaching methods are concerned,work on the development of a course pre­senting the content of the sciences basic toclinical psychiatry is in progress. Severalpsychiatrists and clinical psychologistsare collaborating on a medical studentselection study. This project is designedto provide information regarding theemotional and intellectual factors in suc­cess and failure in medical school. Thestudent who fails is not only the concernof the individual involved but a loss tothe entire community whose interests areat stake in the training of physicians.4 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINTHE SEN/OJlJAHLER, DEAN ROBERTBorn: Nov. 21, 1916, Fowler, Ind.; Purdue U., B.S.1939, M.S. 1941; Intern: U.S. Marine H., Chicago, Ill.(USPHS); General practice; Married: Jan. 6, 1944;One son.BARASH, BERNARDBorn: Jan.

We no longer registered inthe venerable, high-ceilinged office inCobb Hall with its threadbare rug, butwent instead to the slick new Administra­tion Building that had arisen like a wallacross the main campus. Suddenly we sold our trays to the juniors and took our placeas pampered seniors.

He has always stressed that "abiity and promise should be the criteria faa medical education ... not money" an'it has been his hope for years that somnonburdensome financial arrangemencould be made for worthy students.There is particular need for suchloan fund at the present time. Often thablest and most promising individuals dnot have the means to meet immediatelthe cost of many years of medical education. Experience has shown that a revolving loan fund, such as this fund will bEhas practically no losses and that thaswhich occur are more than offset by vo:untary overpayment. A goal of $50,00has been set for the Basil Harvey FuncChecks made payable to the Univeisity of Chicago, and mailed to The BasHarvey �und, 950 East Fifty-nintStreet, Chicago 37, Illinois will be deductible for income-tax pur�oses.Contributions to this worthy cause arear.ne�tly solicited, since by financiallassisting worthy students of medicineyou will also have an opportunity to mosappropriately honor Dr. Harvey.
