Nov. 9. 1978 Obituaries Additional Obituaries on Page 25 Births Cancer Finding Sparks Criticism The Washington Post WASHINGTON Women with a normally low cancer risk are twice as likely to develop breast cancer if they used permanent hair dyes, according to a federally funded study scheduled for publication next year. The study and its conclusions were sharply criticized yesterday by a medical spokesman for the hair dye industry.

Dr. John Corbett, chairman of the hair color technical committee of the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association, said yesterday that the study covered too few research subjects to be meaningful. "I don't think they have anything there at all other than a beautiful manipulation of numbers," said Corbett, who is a vice president of Clairol a major hair dye manufacturer. The study is the first major research effort to establish a linkage between permanent hair coloring used by an estimated 30 million women in the United States and breat cancer, the leading cause of death among American women. The report is scheduled to be published early next year in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

Last year the National Cancer Institute announced that its own studies on laboratory animals showed that animals fed large 1 amounts of hair dye in their feed developed both skin and thyroid tumors. The federal cancer agency warned that the studies indicated potential cancer danger to women who might absorb cancer-causing chemicals from the dyes through their scalp.

LOUIS- The killer factor in heart attacks is stress, not clogged arteries alone, a Baylor University neurophysiologist said here yesterday. And it may he that stress by itself can be sufficient to trigger lethal rhythms even in healthy hearts. The idea is not new: The minds power over the autonomic nervous system is evident even in primitive voodoo curse deaths, and the link between stress, heart attack and "sudden death" has long been suspected. But now scientists say they have biological proof of the brain's contribution, and some clues as to how it exerts its effects. The next step, James E.

Skinner told scientists attending the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience here, is the development of an "anti-stress pill" for persons considered risks for heart attacks: those with known coronary heart disease, high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol levels, a family history of heart problems, or those who are heavy smokers. Meanwhile, he cautioned that such persons should avoid stressful life changes wherever possible. Current tranquilizers have harmful side effects, he said, and the myriad relaxation and stress-reduction techniques that abound have not been shown to have lasting effects. Skinner said his Houston laboratory blocked the, coronary arteries of a group of pigs, the animal whose cardiovascular system mast resembles man's. Some of the pigs had been subjected to physical or psychological stress such as being placed in unfamiliar surroundings or receiving mild electric shocks to the skin.

The animals not under stress did not die, however, even when the major blood supply to their heart was blocked. "We found that the psychological factor was necessary for the occlusion (blockage) of the coronry artery to produce ventricular fibrillation, the death-causing component of heart attacks," he said. Ventricular fibrillation is a kind of wild fluttering of the heart muscle, in place of the rhythmic contractions that normally enable it to pump blood to the brain and other parts of the body. "It may be that brain states alone can be sufficient cause of the initiation of ventricular fibrillation without occlusion," he said pointing to several other studies that indicate psychological stress direct electricalstimula-tion of the brain can produce these aberrant rhythms. Skinner then conditioned another group of pigs to respond to tones that warned of a coming physical shock, and mapped the path of this electrical response in the brain.

Certain cells in the frontal cortex were found to send axons or fibers back through the hypothalamas to the brain stem, near the centers that regulate the cardiovascular system. By blocking this pathway with tiny cooling devices called cryoprobes, he was able to prevent heart rhythm disturbance in the animals. "We reasoned that if we blocked the functioning of this brain system, we could prevent ventricular fibrillation even though the animal was still stressed," he said. "What this means is that having a blood clot in a coronary artery does not cause you to die. A psychological stress factor needs to be present." Skinner said his laboratory was now exploring the chemical bases of these electrical responses and would attempt to block those chemicals with drugs.

"If we can develop a chemical intervention in the brain similar to that of our physical blockade," he said, "then we may be able to prevent heart attack and death by the use of drugs."
