Interleukin-2: Further Progress Through Greater Understanding

EDITORIALS Interleukin-2: Further Progress Through Greater Understanding

Modifications of the original interleukin-2 (IL-2) regimen developed by Rosenberg and his colleagues (/) at the Surgery Branch, Division of Cancer Treatment, National Cancer Institute (NCI), have attempted to maintain or increase the antitumor effects of this treatment while reducing its toxicity. The article by Gaynor et al. (2) in this issue of the Journal represents another such attempt to i...

Further progress in venereology.

(a) Penicillin.-Most significant developments have taken place in the field of antibiotics, especially with repository penicillins. The treatment, which used to consist of injections every 2 to 4 hours with aqueous penicillins, daily with penicillin in oil-beeswax, and sometimes once or twice weekly with procaine penicillin with aluminium monostearate, may now be achieved by a single or a few i...

Further Progress in Endoscopic Medicine

A: In the history of endoscopy, clinical applications began with the development of the gastrocamera in the 1950s, and the 1960s were characterized by use of the technology for careful observation to ensure that nothing had been missed. Subsequently, a series of new instruments, including fiberscopes and electronic scopes, were developed at 10 to 20 year intervals together with advances in the ...

Progress in Understanding Confinement

In recent years a research program was developed to investigate dual superconductivity of the vacuum as a mechanism of confinement of color in QCD. The original idea goes back to t’Hooft and Mandelstam, and is, modulo duality transformation, the same as confinement of magnetic charges in a type 2 superconductor. The end points of an Abrikosov flux tube can be viewed as monopoles; their energy i...
