Show Transfusions May Halt Juvenile Diabetes The Salt Lake Tribune IDA Friday , February 18, 1981 Slay Suspect Flees Trap Once Again - A ronvoy ASHLEY, N D (AP) into this officers swooped police prairie town of 1.200 people Thursday, scaled off the highways and M'anhed several houses in another futile attempt to capture an anti-ta- x militant accused of killing two U S ot marshals. An FBI agent accused "irresponsible" news reports of tipping the fugitive, Gordon Kahl, 63. that the police were heading for the town about 10 miles from the South Dakota border. The convoy of about 50 to 60 officers left an FBI command center in Jamestown just after dawn, warning reporters not to follow or risk being stopped by state police Command Post The police rolled into Ashley before 9 a m. and set up a command post behind the McIntosh County By Daniel Q Haney Unlike the more common adult form of the disease, juvenile diabetes often strikes its victims in early adolescence It destroys the ability to make insulin, a hormone necessary for the body to use and store Associated Press Writer Researchers have discovereel that ordinary blood transfusions will prevent juvenile diabetes in laboratory animals, and say it may someday provide a way of eliminating the disease in huBOSTON By age 18. about one in every 3'JO or 400 children in the United States has the disease. It accounts for about 15 percent of all diabetes am often runs in families found that a few transfusions early in life from a type of rats that never get juvenile diabetes will completely stop development of the disease in rats that have a genetic weakness for it. The researchers cautioned, however, that more research is necessary before doctors try this simple therapy to prevent diabetes in humans susceptible to juvenile diabetes. For Future Consideration "We feel at the present time that we should not make the quantum leap from rat work to human work," said Dr. Aldo A. Rossini "Rut this could be a plausible approach in the future. The study was directed by Rossini at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. It was published in Friday's issue of the journal Science. Life Expectancy 40 Years Life expectancy after diagnosis is about 40 years, and victims of juvenile d'.ibetes often suffer heart at- tacks, kidney failure and eye damage despite daily insulin shots Last week, Dr George S Risen barth and colleagues at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston reported work with a blood test that will reveal early signs of the disease several years before irreparable damage occurs. The latest study was conduc ted on a strain of lah animals called BB rats Between 30 and 50 percent of these rats develop diabetes by the time they are 120 days old, and doc-toi- s believe their disease may parallel the disease in people Courthouse. They searched the m m in same building also were searched. All three men have been involved movement and in a local anti-taare acquaintances of Kahl, authorities said. Authorities say Kahl was active in Posse Comitatus, a right-win- g paramilitary organization that opposes federal taxation. Reporters w ho tried to follow the convoy were stopped at North Dakota Highway Patrol roadblocks on the four main highways leading into Ashley. But several reporters managed to get into town on back roads. Flees Town? The FBI agent in charge of the operation, Richard H. Blay, said afterwards he believed Kahl was there but fled when reports were aired that the police convoy had left Jamestown. Ive got a role to do and I don't see any reason to be telling you, an angry Blay told reporters. "After we do it then I think I'm willing to tell you whatever we did. "I think you have to look at what your own motives are, he added "You have to get on the news and tell them exactly where Im going and when we're going. I think it's irresponsible, I really do. Meanwhile, some 500 people attended the funeral in Bismarck for one of the slain marshals, Robert S. Cheshire Jr., 32, of Bismarck. Services were held Wednesday for the other marshal, Kenneth Muir, 53, of Fargo. x e rats mune systems attack cells Rossini said the transfusions did not cure diabetes in rats that already had it Before transfusions are used to fight human diabetes, Rossini said, scientists will need to find out Other unknowns include the age at which the tranfusions must be started, the number that should be given and whether the protection last throughout life.

Rossini said, ' these animals did not become diabetic rats Another 18 diabetes-prongot weekly injections of a harmless saline solution containing no blood, and seven of them got diabetes. In rats, juvenile diabetes is probably an autoimmune disease This means that the animal's diseasefighting immune system attacks the tissue that produces insulin and destroys it. Many experts believe that juvenile diabetes is also an autoimmune disease in people, although it may have other causes The researchers are not sure why th blood transfusions worked They rats theorize that the diabetes-pron- e don't have enough of a particular kind of w hite blood cells, called suppressor cells, that turn off the prog antiduction of bodies The researchers believe that something in the transfusions, possibly extra suppressor cells, shut off the process that made the rats' im sugar. mans.

Matthew Quintiliano, who spent three months in a state mental institution after his acquittal five years ago, had been served with divorce papers the day before the killing of his second wife, according to an affidavit filed Thursday in Milford Superior Court The affidavit also said police were told two weeks ago that he had tried to kill his wife, but no charges were lodged. Quintiliano entered no plea in his appearance before Superior Court Judge Martin McKeever. who ordered that a grand jury convene March 15 to consider indicting the Ansoma resident.
