Item Characteristics of adult psychosexual functioning in women sexually abused during childhood(1984) Hilton, Donna Jean; Cole, Pamela M.; Roberts, T. Kevin; Vincent, John P.; Carbonari, Joseph P., Jr.; Ezell, ShirleyPossible associations between child sexual abuse and adult psychosexual functioning are examined in terms of marital adjustment and sexual behavior. While previous studies of child sexual abuse victims suggested problems in psychosexual functioning, such studies have generally relied on uncontrolled data gathered from clinical populations or cases reported to child welfare or legal agencies. The present study was an exploratory investigation using a retrospective comparative design to compare women who experienced father-daughter incest with those who were molested by adult males at differing levels of relationship with the child. Volunteers were recruited through the media in an effort to gain access to non-clinical populations. Participants were predominantly white, college-educated, and middle-class women with a history of child sexual abuse by an adult male. Participation consisted of a semi-structured interview covering past and current sexual experiences and completion of the Marital Satisfaction Inventory and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale. [...]Item Flow microfluorometic analysis of cellular DNA content during early stages of transformation by type C oncorna virus(1977) Hilton, Donna Jean; Allred, John C.; Priori, Elizabeth S.; Hungerford, Ed V., III; Jeffery, William R.Flow microfluorometric (FMF) analysis of the quantity of cell DNA is performed on normal rat kidney (NRK) cells for six days following infection with Kirsten mouse sarcoma virus (KiMSV), a type C oncorna virus. Characterization of infection of cells by morphology, immunology, growth patterns, and chromosome number reveals that KiMSV infected cells exhibit properties associated with virus transformation. FMF analysis of daily samples of noninfected and KiMSV-infected NRK cells, stained by acriflavin-Feulgen technique, indicates no significant change in ENA content of freshly infected cells from that of noninfected cells. However, NRK cells infected with KiMSV for more than 100 passages show an elevated cellular DNA content. Significance of possible artifacts arising from procedural technique for FMF data are discussed.
