In the article by Shichiri
et al, "Endothelin-1 as an Autocrine/Paracrine
Apoptosis Survival
Factor for Endothelial Cells"
(Hypertension. 1997;30:1198–1203.), Figs 2
and 4
were incorrect. The
correct figures are shown below.

Figure 2. Flow cytometric DNA analysis of
endothelial cells. Rat endothelial cells were serum-deprived for 4
hours, stained with propidium iodide, and subjected to flow
cytometric analysis: total endothelial cells cultured in 10% FBS
(A), total cultured cells after 4-hour serum starvation (B), and
floating cells (C) (4-hour serum starvation) were collected and
analyzed. Apoptotic cells with subdiploid DNA staining are cells
with subdiploid DNA staining are shown in the region marked with the
bar, and the percentage of such cells is indi-cated. Arrowheads
indicate the positions of peak G0/G1 cells (left) and G2 cells
(right).

Figure 4. ET-1 acts as an apoptosis survival factor
for endothelial cells. Exponentially growing rat endothelial cells
were changed into serum-free medium containing the indicated
concentrations of ET-1. After 24 hours, all floating cells were
collected and counted with a Coulter counter. Each point
represents mean±SEM (n=6); values were calculated by the percentage
of floating cells in the absence of ET-1. *P<.05,
**P<.01 for treated versus untreated cells,
respectively.

In the article by Weber et al, "Effects of SR 49059, a New
Orally Active and Specific Vasopressin V1 Receptor
Antagonist, on Vasopressin-Induced Vasoconstriction in Humans"
(Hypertension. 1997;30:1121–1127.), an incorrect unit of
measure was used. The sentence should read as follows:
The baseline mean diameter was comparable in the three groups (ie,
2876±89 µm in the placebo group and 2744±201 and 2799±175 µm in
the 30- and 300-mg SR 49059 groups, respectively).
