The prostaglandins: a new factor in fertility control.
Potts M.
PIP: Prostaglandins, substances which are present in many tissues, have a wide variety of biological actions, and they occur in many species. They are fatty acids, and several families can be identified on the basis of their chemical structure. The 1st hurdle to be overcome in the future development of prostaglandins is to synthesize large quantities. At least 1 method is suitable for scaling up to produce large amounts of prostaglandins commercially, and kilo quantities should be available in 1971. The next stage in the progress of prostaglandins will be to learn more regarding the physiology of their action and to expand clinical experience. It was discovered in 1965 that prostaglandins stimulated the human uterus to contract. Since that time they have been used to induce labor or to produce abortion in over 1000 women. Prostaglandins were 1st used to induce abortion in the latter part of 1969. The oral route of administration can be used at term, but when it has been attempted early in pregnancy the results has been serious nausea and vomiting which arises at the dose necessary to terminate pregnancy. Prostaglandins given into the vagina over 2-1/2 hours have terminated pregnancy with fewer side-effects and more rapidly than when given intravenously. The most significant potential of prostaglandins may lie in the production of a once-a-month contraceptive. As yet, prostaglandins have not been registered with any national drug registration authority.

Prostaglandins synthesized at McGill.
[No authors listed]
PIP: George Just, a McGill University organic chemist, has developed what may be the first general synthesis of natural primary prostaglandins, a group of biologically important compounds which could eventually find use as powerful drugs. The prostaglandins are currently available only in limited quantities via biosynthetic routes. The total synthesis could significantly increase the quantities available for study, as well as facilitate modifications to the basic primary prostaglandin structure. Prostaglandins are C20- carboxylic acids having a 5-membered ring with 1 chain of 7 carbon atoms, the other of 8. They occur chiefly in the seminal vesicular glands or male accessory sex organ, and also in small amounts in many mammalian tissues including menstrual fluid, lung tissues, kidneys, pancreas, brain, iris, and thymus. The pharmaceutical industry is interested in the diverse, potent pharmacological properties of prostaglandins. They are released when the central nervous system is stimulated and they affect the reproductive tracts, raise or lower blood pressure, and alter profoundly fat mobilization. The formation of prostaglandins from essential fatty acids has supplied for the first time direct evidence for at least 1 of the biological functions of these acids.

Clinical trials on AIDS start.
[No authors listed]
PIP: A 6-month clinical trial in the Philippines sought to determine the efficacy of coconut oil and of "monolaurin," a coconut oil byproduct, in killing HIV by breaking down its coating. This research is based on the theory that medium-chain fatty acids, like monolaurin, can have this effect on certain viruses. The trial involves 12 women and 3 men in the early stage of HIV infection. 10 patients will take different doses of monolaurin, and 5 will consume coconut oil. It is hypothesized that the regimen will lead to higher CD4 counts and a lower viral load. The trial was almost abandoned because it received only lukewarm approval from the Health Secretary.

Protein and fat utilization in lactating sows: II. Challenging behavior of a model of metabolism.
McNamra JP, Pettigrew JE.

The objective was to challenge the behavior of an existing mechanistic model of sow metabolism using data from a study that determined effects of fat and amino acid intakes on milk production, body and mammary composition in sows nursing 10 to 12 pigs. Sows were second through fourth parity; litter size was standardized at 12 pigs within 3 d of farrowing, and lactation was for 20 d. Diets were formulated and fed to provide three different amounts of protein intake and two different amounts of fat intake. Data were used to challenge the behavior of an existing mechanistic, deterministic, dynamic model for describing variation in milk production and changes in body composition. Nutrient intake and initial body weights and compositions were used as direct inputs into the model. The model could describe milk production within 1 SD of the mean on all rations. The model described body fat within 1 SD of observed values, but overestimated final body protein by approximately 30% (or between 1 and 2 SD). The model described the change in body fat and protein in response to 5% additional fat in the ration within 1 SD of observed (simulated - observed = -1.1 kg for protein and -0.7 for fat). The simulated response to dietary protein was within 1 SD (2.6 kg): simulated response from medium to high protein was 1.0 kg, observed 1.2; simulated response from medium to low was -0.7 kg, observed 0.3 kg. Thus, the model was not as accurate in describing the body protein response to a low-protein diet and overall, overestimated the retention of body protein. This model has utility for setting specific research hypotheses and may be amenable to use by nutritionists in a variety of applications. Further improvement in the ability of the model to describe metabolism and production of lactating sows is limited by a severe lack of data on metabolic interactions. Data on rates of muscle protein synthesis and proteolysis and interactions between amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose are needed to improve this and other models of sow production.

The average human scalp is covered by approximatey 100,000 hair follicles. Each hair undergoes
hair cycle and normally 50-100 hairs randomly fall out a day, which is unnoticeable because lost hair is replaced by as many new hairs springing up daily. Hair loss results from the fall out of hair from the hair follicle. Alopecia or excessive, premature hair loss is the condition caused by many factors.
Loss of hair itself does not pose critical health problems because biological role of human hair is relatively marginal. Hair on our scalp protects the head from mechanical shock, heat loss, and exposure to UV-light. The eyelashes and eyebrowes protect the eyes, and hair in the ear canal or the nasal passages help filter out particles and pathogens, thus protecting our internal organs.
However, hair does play important social role: it is one of the major determinants of our appearance and identity in daily life. Fullness of hair also implicates or manifests physical integrity and youthfulness of the person. Losing hair could have more than just emotional impacts on individuals.
The hair is a unique organ that goes through a characteristic cycle consisting of an immature phase, a growing phase called anagen, a transitional phase between the growing phase and the resting phase called catagen, and finally a resting phase called telogen in which the hair stops growing, waiting to fall out. 85-90% of hairs on our body are in anagen phase or growing phase, which lasts anywhere from two to five years. This phase is followed by a short regression phase, or catagen, which lasts 2-3 weeks. Approximately 1% of hair follicles are in catagen. Approximately 10-15% of hair follicles are in the resting phase, the telogen, which lasts about 3-5 months. Hair follicles typically goes through 10-20 asynchronous cycles during the lifetime.
Persistent loss of more than 150 hairs would consist a state of hair loss, or alopecia, albeit it could be temporary.
