    Abstract Taking a history and performing an examination on an orofacial pain patient differs significantly from that in the general dental patient. Orofacial pain dentists must be familiar with the disorders that cause chronic head and neck pain. In addition, they must know the pertinent aspects of history taking with regard to the chief complaint, history of the present illness, the relevance of the past medical and dental history and how the social history can act as an important etiologic and prognostic factor. The clinician must also be versed in the elements of the orofacial pain examination which include evaluation of the TMJ and cervical spine; head, neck and dental examination; and, often, neurological and otolaryngological screening. The clinician should also have a familiarity with blood testing, urinalysis and know the uses and limitations of diagnostic imaging.

    Abstract Objective: Although some studies have shown cortisol nonsuppression following dexamethasone suppression test (DST) in current bulimia nervosa (BN), no study has looked at HPA axis abnormalities in behaviorally recovered BN patients. The purpose of this pilot study is to explore the role of current vs behaviorally recovered BN, as well as depression and childhood trauma in cortisol suppression in BN.
    Methods: A 0.5 mg DST was performed on 21 patients with behaviorally recovered BN, 9 women with current BN and 14 controls. BN group also completed the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and Childhood Trauma Questionnaire.
    Results: There were no differences between the three groups in cortisol suppression, and BMI was not associated with cortisol levels following DST. Within the BN group, depression was significantly associated with afternoon cortisol nonsuppression (p=0.005).
    Discussion: As researchers look for more accurate ways to identify biological phenotypes of BN, presence of comorbid depression may help explain differences in cortisol suppression.

    Abstract Hamada, Chuya (Albert Einstein Medical Center, Philadelphia, Pa.), and Albert S. Kaplan. Kinetics of synthesis of various types of antigenic proteins in cells infected with pseudorabies virus. J. Bacteriol. 89:1328-1334. 1965.-By means of an indirect precipitation test, a determination was made of the rates of synthesis of various types of serologically specific proteins in rabbit kidney cells infected with pseudorabies virus. The rate of synthesis of cell-specific protein decreased after infection. During the early stages of the infective process, proteins which bear no precursor relationship to the viral particles (nonstructural viral proteins) and which cannot be detected in noninfected cells were formed. Almost concurrently with these nonstructural proteins, synthesis of virus precursor proteins began. The synthesis of these proteins preceded the formation of mature virus and continued until the end of the virus growth cycle.

    Abstract Following oral administration of Coxsackie viruses (C viruses) to susceptible chimpanzees, these agents can be isolated from the throat for a period of approximately a week, from the blood for a few days, and from the stools for 2 to 3 weeks or even longer. Animals so infected respond with the formation of specific neutralizing antibodies which are maintained for at least 1 to 2 years. Such chimpanzees are immune when challenged orally with homologous strains of virus. They then excrete virus in the stools for 3 or 4 days (passive transfer); no virus can be recovered from the throats and blood of these animals, and neutralizing antibody levels remain unchanged. Animals immune to one antigenic type of C virus can be infected by feeding a different antigenic type. Following such a heterotypic challenge, virus can again be isolated from the throat, blood, and stools; neutralizing antibodies develop to the new strain. Antibodies to the Texas-1 type of C virus were already present in four chimpanzees upon their arrival in the laboratory from Africa. It was possible to set up intestinal carriage of the Texas-1 virus in these animals and to demonstrate a 10- to 100-fold increase in titer of neutralizing, as well as complement-fixing, antibody. Quantitative titrations of the amount of virus present in the stools and throat were performed. Immediately after the first feeding of virus relatively large amounts can be detected in the stools; the titer drops, but may be maintained for as long as 25 days at 10(-2) to 10(-3), furnishing evidence that virus multiplication has taken place. Virus in the throat reached the same order of magnitude at first as in the stools but there was a rapid decline to zero in a few days. The Ohio-1 virus differed from the others in that it persisted in the throat as long as in the stools, and in several instances reached a higher titer in the throat. Following homotypic challenge with all types, virus could be detected in the stools for only a relatively short period of time and at low concentration. Virus-neutralizing substances could not be detected in the stools or throat swabs of convalescent animals, at a time when their serum-neutralizing antibody titers were high. Under the limited conditions of the present experiments, C viruses had no effect on the infection of chimpanzees with three different antigenic types of poliomyelitis virus. Both poliomyelitis and C viruses set up independent infections without apparent interaction between them. No enhancement of the poliomyelitis infection took place, as was plain from the fact that none of the infected chimpanzees became paralyzed. a titration of Texas-1 C virus in four chimpanzees revealed that a suspension of infected tissue diluted to 10(6.0) could cause the development of the carrier state; accidental infection of control animals with other Coxsackie types indicated also that very little virus may be necessary to initiate infection. Seven distinct antigenic types of C virus were inoculated subcutaneously and intramuscularly at the same time into four chimpanzees. The response was the same as that following feeding; virus could be recovered from the throat, blood, and stools, and the animals developed neutralizing antibodies to all seven types of C virus. There was no detectable interference among the viruses. Cortisone did not bring about the reappearance of the virus excretion in chimpanzees previously infected and shown to be intestinal carriers of poliomyelitis and Coxsackie viruses.

    Abstract A study was made of the intracellular localization of Type 2 poliomyelitis virus, using the technique of Mirsky and Pollister (23) for cellular fractionation. After isotonic saline homogenization of central nervous system tissue from infected mice, and subsequent centrifugation of the suspension, the virus present in the supernatant fluid was held to be of cytoplasmic origin. Upon serial washings of the sediment with physiological saline, the resulting supernates contained progressively less virus until by the seventh washing, virtually none was present. At this point extraction of the washed sediment with molar NaCl, which lyses the nuclei, yielded substantial amounts of virus, and this was assumed to be from nuclear sources. The possibility has not been excluded however that the "nuclear" sediment was contaminated by cytoplasmic particles too large to remain in the supernate. Experiments on the increase of virus during the incubation and acute stages of infection have revealed that it was first detectable in the "cytoplasmic" fraction and subsequently in the "nuclear" fraction. Virus in the "nuclear" fraction from paralyzed mice sometimes reached titers almost as high as those found in the "cytoplasm." Adsorption experiments indicated that the "nuclear" fraction of CNS tissue from normal, uninoculated mice did not adsorb added Type 2 poliomyelitis virus, nor did such fractions adsorb virus procured from the "cytoplasm" or "nuclei" of infected cells. Although individual mice varied in their response after virus injection, the "cytoplasmic" fraction of paralytic mice was found to contain virus regularly, whereas little more than half of the non-paralytic mice yielded it. When virus was present in the "cytoplasm," it could be found in the "nuclear" fraction of paralytic mice with much greater regularity than in that of non-paralytic mice. A comparison between the lines of the MEF1 strain of poliomyelitis virus, "adapted" and "non-adapted" to newborn mice, and the Lansing strain, revealed no differences in their intracellular increase. In both infant and adult mice, the chief difference in the findings with non-paralyzed and paralyzed mice lay in the greater concentration of virus in the "nuclear" fractions of the latter group.
