Volume 7 SPRING 1951 Number 3MEDICAL STUDENTS� LOUNGEThis is tt typical noon-hour scene in the men's locker room. When the new lounge is completed, medical students will have a more'ttractive place in which to spend their free time.As a result of the earnest requests ofhe medical students, and the syrnpa­hetic co-operation of Dr. Coggeshall,ilans have been completed for the estab­ishment and maintenance of a medicaltudents' club.The large room which has long housedhe Pathology Museum, with its twoandsome arched windows looking out to­lard Abbott, will become the new lounge,vailable to all medical students, toerve as a focal point for their activities.ieep, comfortable chairs and benches-ill take the place of the specimen cases;reading corner will feature currentiedical journals, standard textbooks, andorne lighter literary fare; and eventuallyre cardplayers may be persuaded to come out of the locker room. The Med­ical Alumni office will be at the east endof the lounge, and here the Alumni sec­retary will be available to supervisemaintenance and to assure close liaisonamong students, faculty, and alumni.Our present morgue., across the hallfrom the new lounge, will be remodeledinto a combined teaching museum andautopsy room. Here a mezzanine will bebuilt over what was the upper tier ofseats in the autopsy room where "active"specimens of pathological material willfind place, together with a projector andthe appropriate Kodachrome slides.Study tables and chairs will enable stu­dents to take notes in comfort as theycompare the gross and microscopic speci- mens on display. A stairway will runfrom the mezzanine to the autopsy room,where three rows of seats are to be leftfor demonstration purposes, and thespace under the mezzanine will be usedto store pathological specimens not per­tinent to the current teaching.Without the generosity of the Depart­ment of Pathology, it is doubtful whetherspace could have been found at this timefor the students' lounge, and all the vari­ous features of the plan have furtherbeen made possible through the gener­ous gift of a patient as a "gesture ofappreciation for the care he and his fami­ly had received at Billings." A more en­during or better-appreciated use of sucha gift cannot well be imagined.2 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINSENIOR SCIENTIFIC SESSIONIn this issue of the BULLETIN, theScientific Section is devoted to a sum­mary of the research done by some ofthe members of the senior class whilethey were in medical school.Collaborative Studies of theEfficacy of Long-Term Cor­tisone and ACTH Therapyin Rheumatoid ArthritisBy ETHEL BONN, with D. M. BERGEN­STAL, THEODORE CASE, Roy WHITMAN,WARD C. HALSTEAD, and N. S. APTERDay-to-day observations on six pa-tients with rheumatoid arthritis who re­ceived cortisone or ACTH were made.Data were collected by utilizing medi­cal, biochemical, electroencephalographic,medical-psychological, and psychiatrictechniques. By correlating these findings,conclusions are drawn regarding the fol­lowing problems: the hazards and bene­ficial effects of cortisone and ACTH;the response of the central nervous sys­tem to these drugs; the biological andpsychological aspects of remission andexacerbation; and the role of potassiummetabolism in electroencephalographicand behavioral patterns. A statisticalstudy on forty patients with the diseasewas made to test one of the psychiatricpostulates derived from the observations.The Effects of Adrenocor­ticotropic Hormone on theTissues of Normal RabbitsBy E. DOEZEMA, G. THOMPSON,and R. WIRTSHAFTERIt was the purpose of this experimentto determine the effects of ACTH on avariety of tissues in the otherwise phys­iologically normal rabbit.Several groups of corresponding ani­mals (weight, approximate maturity)were selected and observed over a periodDf time during which their body weightsand peripheral blood counts (RBC,WBC, differential, hematocrit, per centof nucleated reds, platelets, and eosin­ophils ) were followed daily. Through­out the experimental period repeatedbone-marrow aspirations on both normaland treated animals were used to followhematologic changes in this organ. Aftera base line had thus been established,ACTH was administered intramuscular­ly in certain varying dosages and ac­cording to certain variable dosage sched­ules. Blood counts were then continued as before, and any changes in these, aswell as in body weight, recorded. At cer­tain set intervals the animals were sacri­ficed in pairs, comprising one experi­mental and one control animal, and au­topsied. Weights of the internal organswere taken, as well as sections of thymus,liver, spleen, kidney, adrenals, appendix,small gut, and mesenteric lymph nodes.The marrow of one or more long boneswas removed en bloc after longitudinalsplitting of the bone and prepared forsectioning en bloc.Evaluation of results has not beencompleted.Effect of X-Radiation onIron Distribution IIIthe MouseBy JAMES H. ELDREDGE, JR.The anemia produced in humans or ani­mals with total body irradiation is adifficult one in terms of establishing themechanism involved. Molecular radio­active iron, like stable iron, is incorpo­rated into newly synthesized hemoglobinin the body. With tracer techniques itwas therefore possible to study the fateof the tagged iron in mice exposed tototal body X-radiation with and with­out lead shielding of the surgically ex­teriorized spleen. These studies tend toindicate that the anemia produced byirradiation can be accounted for largelyby suppression of blood formation andblood loss as a result of hemorrhage.Hemolysis does not seem to play animportant role.Some Effects of Intramuscu­lar Cortisone in the Tuber­culous Guinea PigBy CLIFFORD W. GURNEYGuinea pigs infected with tuberculosisappear more seriously ill and have ahigher mortality when treated with corti­sone than similarly infected animals re­ceiving no treatment. The blood sedi­mentation rates in the tuberculousguinea pigs rise after inoculation withmycobacterium tuberculosis and thenfall rapidly to pre-inoculation levelsshortly after appearance of maximumhypersensitivity. Cortisone or strepto­mycin markedly diminish the magnitudeof the rise in sedimentation rate. Corti­sone depresses the blood eosinophilecounts in these animals. Five milligramsof cortisone appear to be the optimaldaily dose in the guinea pig. Localization of RadioactivThyroxine in the CentraNervous System of Rabbit:By JAY M. JENSENSchittenhelm and Eisler in 1932 published findings which seemed to indicate a relationship between thyroxin:supply and iodine content' of specifuparts of the central nervous system. Thipoint remains controversial because 0the difficulty in determining in tissue thextremely small quantities of iodine involved. The present investigation wacarried out using radioactive thyroxinand identifying it by means of countinand radioautographic techniques.Studies on Iron-carryingProtein of SerumBy JACK MCCARTHYIt has previously been found that irotis transported in the plasma in bondagwith a protein. This protein has beeridentified as a {3, globulin by electrophoretic analysis and as a componenof fraction IV of Cohn. This protei!normally binds approximately one-thinof what it can bind if iron is addein vitro. Using radioactive iron, the return of conversion of ferric iron tlbound ferrous iron was measured. Th,effect of temperature on this reactioiwas also investigated. Previously reported decrease in binding affinity witlreduction in pH was confirmed. Nevmethods of determining iron-binding capacity, total iron, and total binding capacity, utilizing radioactive iron aniethanol protein precipitation, are described.Some Observations on theAction of RutinBy ROBERT J. RAIMANIn earlier experiments it had beenoted that rutin, a flavonol glycoside believed to represent the active principlof vitamin P, protected guinea pi@against anaphylactic shock. Rutin hano effect against histamine shock.One possibility suggested by thesresults was that rutin inhibited the erdogenous liberation of histamine in tbguinea pig subjected to anaphylactishock, Accordingly, blood histamirlevels were measured in guinea pi!which had been given rutin before iJducing protein anaphylactic shock, jMEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETIN 3those which were subjected to shockwithout pretreatment with rutin, and inanimals which had been subjected to noprocedure whatsoever.It was found that the normal con­trols had a mean histamine blood levelof 0.34 gm/cc, that of the previouslyrutinized animals was 0.32 grn/cc, andthose animals which were subjected toshock without pretreatment with rutinhad levels of 0.69 ,ugm of histaminebase/cc of blood.From these data it was concluded thatprior administration of rutin inhibits theendogenous liberation of histamine inthe guinea pig subjected to anaphylacticshock.Diffuse Bilateral PulmonaryDiseaseBy GEORGE SPIKESApproximately two thousand autopsieswere reviewed for diffuse bilateral pul­monary disease. Two hundred such caseswere found and their X-rays studied.Thirty-three were selected which hadrelatively symmetrical bilateral pul­monary involvement on X-ray.In twenty-six cases the antemortemdiagnosis was in substantial agreementwith the autopsy impression and includedexamples of Hodgkin's disease, leukemia,miliary tuberculosis, sarcoid, metastaticcarcinoma, scleroderma, anthracosilico­sis, lupus erythematodes, berylliosis,histoplasmosis, coccidioidomycosis, andrheumatic pneumonitis.In seven cases the antemortem diag­nosis was either in error or was unsatis­factory. In two of these seven casesautopsy was very informative andshowed in one a pulmonary adenocarci­ioma and in the other unsuspected lipoidmeumonia. In the other five, autopsylid not reveal the fundamental etiology)f the pulmonary process. Four had end­.tage disease of unknown etiology whichlad resulted in bronchiectasis, emphy­ema, and fibrosis. One had atypicalhronic organizing pneumonia and inter­titial pneumonitis, but the causative.gent was never found.Chest X-rays are not diagnostic inhese conditions. Much time was spent:l search of criteria by which these.iseases could be diagnosed by X-ray.Iowever, films of patients with differentiseases often were more similar thanIms of different patients with the sameisease. The chief value of the X-ray inhis series was to confirm clinically sus­ected pulmonary involvement.A method for numerically evaluatingre ·severity of pulmonary involvement3 seen by X-ray was devised. Likewise,te clinical status of the patient at theme of X-raying was evaluated. There'as found to be virtually no statisticalorrelaticn, demonstrating on an actualeries of patients a more or less widelyeld belief. Cor pulmonale occurred in fifteen ofthe thirty-three cases studied. The in­cidence in males and females was almostequal. The average right myocardialthickness was twice as great in thosewith cor pulmonale as in those without,and this was largely responsible for thefact that the average heart weight wasmuch greater in the former than in thelatter. Of probable etiologic significanceis the fact that the average duration andclinical severity of cardiopulmonarysymptoms were twice as great in patientswith as compared to patients without corpulmonale. Secondary polycythemia oc­curred in seven of the fifteen cases ofcor pulmonale and in none of the eighteencases without the condition. Intimal fi­brosis did not occur in a significantlylarger percentage of cases with cor pul­monale than in cases without cor pul­monale to allow deductions as to itsrole in etiology to be drawn. Cor pul­monale was infrequently diagnosed clin­ically.The number of distinct entities capa­ble of producing bilateral diffuse pul­monary involvement is large, and thereis reason to suspect that new entities willbe described in the future since, in thepast decade, berylliosis and acute diffuseinterstitial fibrosis have been recognized.There exists no infallible single diag­nostic test for this group of diseaseswhich, because of the similarity in pul­monary signs and symptoms and thenotable similarity in roentgen manifes­tations, may be considered a syndrome.The best diagnostic results will be ob­tained by careful application of clinical,laboratory, and roentgenologic skills,keeping in mind the differential diagnos­tic possibilities and having recourse tothe methods of pathology for confirma­tion or correction as often as possible.Even so, complete diagnostic successcannot be had with present knowledge. The Survival of Rats withHigh Free Acetyl Choline(A Ch) in the BrainBy W. W. TOURTELLOTTESprague-Dawley rats were poisonedwith lethal doses of di-isopropyl fluoro­phosphate (DFP), 4 rug/kg, intramuscu­larly, 5 minutes after being pretreatedwith neostigmine methyl-sulfate (N),0.1 mg/kg, or physostigmine salicylate(P), 0.15 rug/kg, subcutaneously. Ratstreated with N-DFP had brain cholines­terase (ChE) activity of 1-2 per centof the initial activity at 5 hours, whereasP-DFP-treated rats had 1<)-24 per centof the initial activity at I hour, and8-12 per cent at 8 hours. In rats treatedwith N-DFP, the free ACh concentra­tion in the brain rose linearly from 0.8mg/gm to a maximum of 5.2 at 1.0 hourbefore decreasing. This is in contrast toP-DFP-treated rats in which the freeACh rose linearly to a maximum of 3.8at 0.5 hour before decreasing. WithN-DFP-treated rats the free ACh con­centration of the submaxillary gland rosefrom I to a maximum of 1.6 at 0.5 hourbefore decreasing; whereas, with P-DFP­treated rats the free ACh concentrationrose to a maximum of 3 at 0.5 hour be­fore decreasing. The skeletal muscle freeACh did not change with either treat­ment. At the time of death, approxi­mately 30 minutes, the rats poisonedwith DFP alone had similar free AChconcentrations in the brain, in the sub­maxillary gland, and in the muscle asdid those rats treated and survivingP-DFP treatment. The data indicatethat high free ACh concentration (6.5times normal) and low ChE activity(1-2 per cent of normal) in the brain iscompatible with life in Sprague-Dawleyrats.Eight o'clock meaicallecture4 MEDICAL ALUMNI BULLETINTHEAFTERMAN, JOSEPHBorn: Nov. 28, 1925, Chicago; U. of Chicago, S.B.,1947; Intern: Mount Zion H., San Francisco; Pedi­atrics, psychiatry; Unmarried; AIMS; 3912 GladysA ve., Chicago.ANDERSON, DONALD ALBERTBorn: Aug. 10, 1920, Rockford, Ill.; Beloit ColI.,B.S, 1942; Intern: U. of Minnesota Clinics, Minne­apolis; Medicine; Married Constance Miles Greison,1948; One child; AOA, Nu Sigma Nu; 218 Wash­ington St., Sa vanna, Ill.BAUMANN, CARL H.
