  • Description: The study of local history in South Africa is still in its infancy and has not been accorded the same recognition as elsewhere. There is no convenient manual to guide the would-be local historian of the Cape. There are few models that provide an insight into the main problems encountered by the local historian of a Cape community. In such local histories as exist, attention has been focussed predominantly on the foundation and physical growth of towns, the naming of streets, the establishment of schools and hospitals. Many of these accounts were written for publicity purposes or to commemorate the founding of towns. Although there is no history of the Dutch Reformed Church in Graaff-Reinet, the history of local congregations of the Dutch Reformed Church has generally been well covered in the form of Gedenkboeke and other studies. These frequently have a particular relevance as many towns such as Burgersdorp and Colesberg were founded as a result of the initiative of the church. Preface.

Interactions between steroidal anti-inflammatory agents and collagen

  • Description: Much research has been done on the formation of fibrils from solutions of soluble collagen in vitro in order to gain some knowledge of the mechanisms which may occur in vivo. The in vitro formation of fibres from solutions of collagen has been shown to be extremely sensitive to the nature of the solution environment and the presence of added chemical compounds, and thus constitutes an interesting system for the study of collagen-small molecule inter actions. The present study is concerned with the effects of various corticosteroid drugs, used medicinally as anti-inflammatory agents, on collagen in solution. As these corticosteroids are administered to reduce inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and a host of other pathological conditions in which collagen is implicated, this work has been undertaken in order to establish and charac teri ze any binding mechanisms which may be involved. Furthermore, the corticosteroid drugs available commercially in pure form as the free base or as the water-soluble ester salts offer an interesting range of structural and stereochemical variants for the study of their reaction with a complex and biologically important protein molecule such as collagen. A great deal of research on drug- protein interactions (Goldstein, 1949; Meyer and Guttman, 1968a) and more specifically, steroid-protein interactions have been reported over the years (Daughaday, 1959; Sandberg et al., 1966; Villee and Engel, 1961; Westphal , 1971). Comprehensive reports, however, on steroid-collagen interactions in vitro are conspicuously absent from modern scientific literature although relatively superficial accounts have been published (Menczel and Maibach, 1972; Eik-Nes et al., 1954). Although work involving the above has appeared relating specifically to the effects of steroids on collagen biosynthesis both in vivo and in vitro there have been minimal accounts of steroid-collagen interactions tailored to characterize the binding at the molecular level. The effect of corticosteroids on the metabolism of connective tissue has also received special attention (Asboe-Hansen, 1959; Kivirikko, 1953; Nakagawa and Tsurufuji, 1972). Recently, Uitto et al. (1972) reported the effects of several anti-inflammatory corticosteroids on collagen biosynthesis in vitro, whilst Aalto and Kulonen (1972) reported the effects of several antirheumatic drugs on the synthesis of collagen and other proteins in vitro. The interactions between collagen and certain drugs has also been briefly reviewed (Chvapil, 1967). Much data also exists on the binding of a wide range of small molecules and ions with serum albumin (Steinhardt and Reynolds, 1969; Scatchard, 1949; Klotz, 1950). Serum albumin, being specialized for a very general transport function and apparently designed for the purpose of combining with a large range of small molecules, has a proportion of possible reactive sites 'buried' within the molecule itself because of its folded conformation. In addition, serum albumin shows a high degree of cooperative binding in contrast to collagen. The latter molecule, with its larger molecular size and weight is specialized for a biologically structural function and has a higher proportion of possible reactive sites which appear relatively more accessible to ligands. A study of the interactions between corticosteroids and collagen thus provides the opportunity to investigate a protein which is very different from the much studied serum albumin. Because of the limited information available regarding the interaction of steroid drugs and collagen at the molecular level, studies of this nature are relevant to the understanding of the mode of action of steroid compounds which are such an important group of therapeutic substances used in modern medicine.

J C Chase: 1820 settler and servant of the Colony

  • Description: J.C. Chase was an 1820 settler who travelled to the Cape with Bailie's party. He was a man of some standing and education. There is evidence that he was a member of the Worshipful Company of Founders, whose arms were later adopted by Aliwal North, but he was reputedly a bookseller in London in 1819. Clearly the reading and writing of books were among his chief preoccupations at the Cape. He was particularly interested in travel and exploration and was one of the early white visitors to Griqualand. But his main objective at the Cape was probably to seek the security of a government appointment, and he held quite a succession of offices until he secured a permanent post in the administration. Even then he was moved from Graham's Town to Albert before he found his niche at Uitenhage, where he was Civil Commissioner and Resident Magistrate from 1849 to 1863. Intro., p.1.

Myth and art : a correlation

  • Authors: Matthews, Celeste Deluvia

  • Description: The word myth evokes the same response as Lawrence's "snake at the water-trough"; the "voice of my education said it must be killed". We do so by confining it to Classicism or any of the diciplines. Myths in Classical language are Roman or Greek stories of fanciful or bawdy content, with naive or picturesque religious significance. A myth is not a story. There are many who interpret and explain myth. The fantasy doctors are applauded by the fantasy consumers. Intro. p. 1.
