✓ Vasoconstrictor activity was examined in serial samples of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) obtained from 10 patients undergoing aneurysm clipping within 48 hours after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). There was no close relationship between vasoconstrictor activity in postoperative CSF samples and the patient's clinical condition or angiographic vasospasm. The identity of the vasoconstrictor substance(s) in CSF was not established, but serotonin, histamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, acetylcholine, or angiotensinII were eliminated as prime vasoconstrictor agents inducing cerebral vasospasm. Differences in the temporal profile of the responses of isolated tissues to CSF from patients with early and late surgery suggested that differing substances were involved in the production of spasm. A correlation between CSF potassium concentrations and vasoactive substances was found, but potassium could not account for vasoconstrictor activity of CSF. A log:linear correlation between total vasoconstrictor activity and total CSF collected could not be explained. Also, because of possible differences in the identity of vasoactive substances in CSF in this study compared to earlier studies, clinical comparisons based on apparent differences in pharmacological potency of CSF were not warranted. Nevertheless, removal of subarachnoid blood by cisternal rinsing seemed to be a useful surgical adjunct.

We have shown previously that transcription of the Drosophila homeotic gene Antennapedia results in four major RNA species which differ in long 5'- and 3'-untranslated sequences. The protein-coding portion of these transcripts, however, is located in exons common to all. Using RNase protection assays and further cDNA clone isolation, we have now detected two alternative splicing events between exons of this region. These result in four RNA variations which, if translated, would encode a family of Antennapedia proteins. By analyzing transcripts from various developmental stages and isolated tissues, we show that alternative splicing is under strict temporal and spatial regulation. For example, while similar patterns of splicing were found for all wild-type thoracic imaginal disks examined, these differed distinctly from the patterns observed in neural tissues. Our results suggest that individual RNAs may be associated with different biological roles, and provide molecular evidence that the Antennapedia gene is involved in multiple functions.
