Production of hormone tested on Discovery trip United Press International CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida — A refrigerator-sized medicine fac tory aboard the new space shuttle Discovery promises to set the pace for commercial space development with the production of a potential “breakthrough” medicine. McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Co. and Johnson & Johnson’s Ortho Pharmaceuticals Corp. hope their continuous-flow electrophoresis sys tem will produce enough of the product, a hormone, during its six days aboard Discovery starting Wednesday to begin clinical tests with humans. “It’s a very exciting hormone,” said James Rose, McDonnell Doug las project manager. “It is a natural biological body hormone. It’s not available today and would be consid ered a breakthrough material. Although Rose declined to iden tify the hormone, he did say in ques tioning at a news conference that it would have life-saving capabilities. Charles Walker, the first privately sponsored shuttle flier, will operate the electrophoresis system through out Discovery’s inaugural mission. And just in case the factory breaks down, he’s trained and equipped with critical spare parts to conduct a space overhaul. Housed on Discovery’s lower deck, the electrophoresis system had been scheduled to fly again in No vember with Walker on hoard to tend it. But the shuttle’s blastoff abort June 26 and the subsequent cancella tion of what would have been its sec ond mission forced a change in plans. “We require between flights a minimum of three weeks of turn around time on the ground,” Walker said. “Because of the June launch delay, flying again in November would not be feasible. “It takes that long back in the lab oratory facility at the Cape to clean the equipment up, replace some mi nor components and get it ready to go back into an orhiter for ref light. So we requested re-manifesting as soon as possible to give ms that mini mum three weeks time early next year.” Continuous flow electrophoresis operates on a well-understood prin ciple. The material to be separated is released into a continuous How of fluid that runs from the bottom of the test chamber to the top. As it flows upward, an electric field across the fluid induces parti cles, which carry an overall positive or negative charge, to migrate to ward one side of the chamber or the other. They do so at different rates and tubes strategically positioned at the top of the chamber are able to draw off extremely pure samples. Although the process is used to produce experimental amounts of drugs on Earth, the quantity and pu rity of production is limited by such gravity-caused effects as settling and convection. In orbit there is no grav ity. T he boxy electrophoresis system lias flown on four previous shuttle missions to work out the bugs and Rose said this week’s flight is a crit ical stepping stone to the success of the program. Kids sleeping with parents; a part of American culture United Press International NEW YORK — For better or worse — no one knows which — chil dren sleeping with parents isn’t un usual in America. The practice, co-sleeping, has been documented by researchers from the Rainbow Babies and Chil dren Hospital, Cleveland Metropol itan General Hospital and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland. “Co-sleeping was a routine and re cent practice in 35 percent of white and 70 percent of black families,” said Cleveland doctor, Dr. Betsy Lozoff, in a report in Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Her findings were based on an in terview-study of going-to-bed pat terns of some 150 children 4-years- old and under in the Cleveland area. Allowing children to sleep with parents is contrary to advice from as sorted pediatric health professionals who often advise parents not to sleep with their youngsters. “Spock (Dr. Benjamin Spock, ex pert on bahycare), for instance, rec ommends that ‘babies get used to falling asleep in their own beds, without company, at least by the time any 3-month colic is over’, and that ‘it’s a sensible rule not to take a child into the parents’ bed for any reason,’ advice which is echoed in many other sources,” Lozof f said. The recommended approach — babies falling asleep in their own beds — is different from practices Lozoff said she observed in Latin America and Asia while doing medi cal and anthropologic research. In those countries, she found in fants generally were not expected to go to bed by themselves at a regular time or place or to sleep alone dur ing the night. Instead, they were held until asleep and slept with their parents or other family members. In such fami lies bedtime struggles and crying in the night were not apparent among the babies and toddlers, she said. Further research showed that in a sample of more than 100 societies, the American middle class is “unique in putting the baby to sleep in a room of his own,” the Cleveland doctor said. The group said even though co sleeping was routine in the Ameri can culture until the 20th century, concerns about the potential ill ef fects of the practice have been dis cussed by some pediatridans and child psychotherapists. Concerns range from the practice interferring with a child’s indepen dence to co-sleping Irecoming a habit or even an addiction that is difficult to break. Otherconcerns are that children who sleep with Mom and Dad may be more likely to witness sexual intercourse — “a frightening experience for some,” the report said. Concerned child development ex perts also have said co-sleeping may tie overstimulating to children. Some have said the practice may reflect disturbances in the mother-child relationship, or in the parents’ rela tions. Among white families in the Cleveland study, investigators said the practice of co-sleeping was asso ciated witli high school educated and non-professionally trained parents, family stress, maternal ambivalence, and disruptive sleep problems.
