Children's key concerns: piloting a qualitative approach to understanding their experience of mental health care.

This article reports the piloting of an approach to apply the principles of child involvement to service experience research. The approach aimed to systematically explore the service concerns of children who had received mental health care. Eleven children who had previously attended mental health services took part in focus groups to discuss their experience.

Attitudes towards emotional expression, relational competence and psychological distress.

The association between life events and psychological distress was found to be mediated by attitudes towards emotional expression for those with low social support but not for those with high social support. Passive interpersonal behaviour significantly accounted for additional variance in psychological distress to that accounted for by life events and attitudes.

An unusual "morphologic" variant of BF S.

In the course of family studies of haplotypes of the alleles of the sixth chromosome loci HLA-A, C, B, D/DR, BF, C2, C4A, C4B, and glyoxalase I, we encountered an unusual BF variant. Its mobility was similar to BF F but it appeared to have a lesser intensity after straining with Coomassie Blue, and it was demonstrated by crossed immunoelectrophoresis to be present in lower concentration. It was therefore designated BF FQL.

Comparison of leucine aminopeptidase from human lens, beef lens and kidney, and hog lens and kidney.

Antisera specific for leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) were prepared. Using these antisera in immunodiffusion tests, the identity of LAP isolated from beef lens and kidney is demonstrated. The same pertains to hog lens and kidney LAP.

Identification and quantification of leucine aminopeptidase in aged normal and cataractous human lenses and ability of bovine lens LAP to cleave bovine crystallins.

Rabbit antisera to bovine lens leucine aminopeptidase (LAP) have been prepared. These LAP-specific antisera cross-react with a component, LAP, in human lens homogenates. Bovine and human lens LAP are similar but not identical.
