Adrenal Cortico-medullary Transplant with Antihypertensive Activity in the Rat

THE suspicion that the adrenal gland may possess an antihypertensive function rests on the observation that adrenal cortical extracts have antihypertensive activity in man and oppose hypertension induced by deoxycorticosterone in the rat^1,2. We have reasoned that if there is such a function, or a salt-losing role for the adrenal gland³, it is probably localized outside the zona glomerulosa. We have, therefore, carried out a series of transplantation experiments with potential autografts from the medulla and adjacent zona reticularis in the rat. Viable transplants have been produced and appear to have antihypertensive activity.

Chemical Characterization of Organisms Isolated from Leprosy Patients

CHEMICAL ANALYSES OF THE CELL WALLS OF ORGANISMS ISOLATED IN VARIOUS PARTS OF THE WORLD FROM CASES OF LEPROMATOUS AND TUBERCULOID LEPROSY MAKE POSSIBLE THEIR ASSIGNMENT TO ONE OF THE THREE GENERA: Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, or Propionibacterium. One, bacterium 22M, remains unassigned. The combined chemical and enzymatic properties attributed to leprosy bacilli freshly harvested from lepromata are found collectively, but not individually, in these three genera.
