In vitro and in vivo studies on two 75Se labelled cholesterol analogues: 19-methyl-[75Se]-selenocholesterol and 6-[75Se]-methyl-selenomethyl-19-nor-cholest-5(10)-en-3 beta-ol
No full text19-methyl-[75Se]-selenocholesterol and 6-[75Se]-methyl-selenomethyl-19-nor-cholest-5(10)-en-3β-ol have been suggested as possible adrenal scanning agents. This study compares these selenium-labelled cholesterol analogues and cholesterol in some of the metabolic transformations in which cholesterol is involved in mammalian systems. The activity of cholesterol 7a-hydroxylase, lecithin: cholesterol acyltransferase, microsomal cholesterol acyltransferase and the sterol side-chain cleavage enzyme systems to transform the mentioned cholesterol analogues has been investigated. The uptake and secretion in bile of 19-methyl-[75Se]-selenocholesterol and 6-[75Se]-methyl-selenomethyl-19-nor-cholest-5(10)-en-3β-ol has been evaluated. The tissue distribution of these sterol analogues has been studied in rats. The findings suggest that 6-[75Se]-methyl-seleno-methyl-19-nor-cholest-5(10)en-3β-ol should be a useful agent for adrenal scanning

Thomas Boyd: Lost Author of the Lost Generation
No full textMentored by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis and published under the renowned Scribner editor Maxwell Perkins, Thomas Boyd attained only modest success as a novelist and biographer. He is known most widely for his World War I novel Through the Wheat, which critics, praising its realistic depiction of war and battle, compared to The Red Badge of Courage. How does a writer like Boyd, with his prominent literary friends, political ideals, professional aspirations, complicated personal life, and early death, fall so easily into obscurity? In this first full biography of Thomas Boyd, Brian Bruce explores the events of Boyd\u27s life and rescues him from the realm of insignificance.https://ideaexchange.uakron.edu/uapress_publications/1098/thumbnail.jp

Sir Joseph Barcroft, Cambridge placental and fetal research (1933-1966) and inter-generational Science.
No full textThe nature of Cambridge (UK) placental and fetal research in the middle third of the twentieth century is reviewed on the basis of published literature and personal recollection. Joseph Barcroft is a central figure who came to fetal research late in an extremely productive career which is briefly sketched. Contemporaneous Cambridge academics in the field included J.D. Boyd (the authors father), J. Hammond, F.H.A. Marshall, R.A. McCance, J. Needham, A.S. Parkes and Elsie Widdowson. The then current Cambridge academic geography is explained and features of its scientific life such as funding, institutional structure and ethos, teaching and clinical duties, domestic and gender roles, and political context, including war and empire, are briefly considered. The testing of research findings against general principles and use of quantitative thinking are identified as important features. Intergenerational connections, often within individual families, are identified as a striking feature. The long-term impact of Cambridge work of this period; locally, in current trophoblast and feto-placental genetic research, in Oxford in probably influencing G.S. Dawes research leadership, and internationally, especially through D.H. Barron, and through him to the Denver School, is considered. That human placental and embryological specimens collected by J.D. Boyd have received a new lease of life as the "Boyd Collection", including use by Allen Enders is noted. Mechanisms for the maintenance of scientific quality and productivity during the period, mainly through the scientist himself relying on an internalised sense of "obligation", are contrasted with those current in the UK and more widely; formal peer-review at frequent intervals, with subsequent allocation of short-term funding. The strengths and weaknesses of each are considered
