RC Well, it was exciting and disappointing. My boss, John Hopewell, was very enthusiastic about the experiments and he thought that the drug, 6-mercaptopurine, which I’d been using in animals was far better than irradiation, which I also felt, and that he would be agreeable for us to do a human transplant or even several. And we decided that, since we had nothing else to offer patients, this highly experimental procedure was something we could talk to a patient in a sensible way about and see what they felt. A middle-aged lady with polycystic disease of the kidneys, a congenital disease in which the kidneys are full of cysts and both kidneys usually stop working between the ages of forty and fifty, well she had reached the end stage. We didn’t have regular dialysis as an option then, it was just something that was also being thought about, but we did have dialysis. She came in, and when we discussed it with her, she felt that this was her only chance and worth taking and we then waited for a donor.

We look at the range of individual motivations for getting started in Rob John, Rhodri Davies and Louisa Mitchell philanthropy as well as the means for giving and the methods employed to achieve philanthropic aims. Achieving a cultural shift is an enormous task. In order to engage more financial services professionals in philanthropy, opportunities for emotional encounters must be created and barriers to giving must be broken down.

Tongue movement is restricted in the later stages when dysphagia occurs and there is ear pain and loss of auditory acuity due to involvement of the Eustachian tubes. The biochemical changes include a decrease in the blood levels of ascorbate and iron. This typical decrease has been attributed to increased utilization of these constituents for collagen synthesis.' The diagnosis is usually obvious but in borderline cases it may be confirmed by biopsy and light microscopy. For treatment, local injection of hyaluronidase and hydrocortisone has been tried with varying results, as have injections of iron, vitamin C and placental extract. Plastic operations have also been per- formed with limited success. There appears to be a positive relation between OSMF and carcinoma.s In one study from Kerala 40% of patients with oral cancer had oral submucous fibrosis." In Bombay the reported figure was 7%.7 Studies of cell-mediated immunity suggest that OSMF may be an intermediate stage in the transforma- tion of normal to malignant cells." British doctors have proposed a ban on the import of betel leaf and nut into their country.

Downloaded from J Clin Pathol 1985;38:146-159 Heart transplant pathology: the British experience ARIELA POMERANCE, PGI STOVIN From the Departments ofHistopathology, Harefield and Mount Vernon Group Laboratories, Middlesex, and Papworth Hospital, Cambridge SUMMARY An account of human heart transplantation as seen by the histopathologists involved at the two UK transplant centres is presented. Between January 1979 and July 1984 179 patients received 186 hearts and 124 are still alive up to four years after operation. Cyclosporin A based immunosuppression has been used in the last 120 patients. Four patients developed neo- plastic lesions. The commonest reason for transplantation was ischaemic heart disease (63%), followed by congestive cardiomyopathy (35%). The seven retransplants were for acute or chronic rejection. The monitoring of rejection by endomyocardial biopsies is described, and the causes of death and necropsy findings are presented. Since Barnard' performed the first human heart Harefield hospital cases 100- transplant in 1967, over 1000 patients world wide Ea Immunosuppression have received new hearts.

These gender-balanced boards can be found in every Mission Group, in all income quartiles and in all but one region. • In the 166 HEIs in the UK, women are 32% of all governing body members. • Women are less well represented as Chairs and Vice Chancellors than as governing body members. Women chair only 12% of all HEIs in the UK and lead only 17% of them as Vice Chancellors. • Women on boards and advancing women executive leaders are issues in the private, public, HE and third sectors. There is much to be gained from understanding how progress is being made across sectors. • Sourcing female board candidates from across sectors expands the talent pool for everyone and provides important leadership development opportunities for executive women. • Umbrella organisations in the HE sector are grappling with and addressing the issues of women’s leadership representation.
