neither affected the growth aor significantly s/1etel the general p.nerw of hmmone

affect either (1) cell growth. or (2) amino acid tnnspoal or (l) rotal protein synthesis or

A concentration dependent stimulation of microsomal BaP rronoo.ylienase activity

The pmnnaW period of life is a critical time for the quantitative and qualitative
development of marosomal monoosygenases, and earlier observations suggest that

Primary fetal ral hepatocytes in c.Nve display difkrenl monoosy`enase activities

cells would accumulate only forms of folale nxessary for proliferation. Bah Ihe

ANTIINVASION FACTOR MEDIATES AVASCULARITY OF HYALINE

'

ptasma teembra.e, but there was no de:Sradatioa or penetration of the eolla6enous

A FAMILIAL AGGREGATION OF PANCREATIC CANCER: AN IN VITRO

Pancreatic cancer, with its olncwe etiology and diffscuh early diagnosis, presents

family was identshed in which four individuals manifested pancreatic cancer verilied
through two generations Cell cultures from split-thickness skin biopsy specimens
were nblauied frr 24 rnembers fnsm three jenetNions (17 bMrdlirse relatives, seven
family memBen by inarruge) as well as len noefamily normal subjects, none with a

history of solid tunwus. In this shdy, however, increased in vrtru hyperdiploidy was
observed in eight of the 17 family members /esled. In the long run. allregates of
pancreatic cancer in families such as this one. and the occurrence of pancreatic cancer
in sonse .wosornal domiarst cancer syndromes have added credence to the relevancy
of agenetic component(s) in a fnctioa of patscreMic eancers. ln an important way, this

for relarives of probanda wilh other smokinR-associMed rwnors, a corresponding arewA

This resuN suggests the importance of host faclon in consbinalion wNh environme.ul
