		Sir John Vane, who died on Friday aged 77, shared the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1982 for his discovery, in 1976, of prostacyclin, the blood-vessel dilating prostaglandin that inhibits blood-clotting, and for his earlier work on aspirin.
		Vane's discoveries led to new treatments for heart and blood-vessel disease, and to the development and introduction of a new class of life-saving drugs to control pulmonary hypertension - the Ace inhibitors - from which tens of thousands of people around the world have since benefitted.
		John Robert Vane was born at Tardebigg, Worcestershire, on March 29 1927.

		The lasting legacy of the pharmacologist Sir John Vane, who has died aged 77, will be the millions of lives saved each year by the use of daily low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attacks and strokes, and of the angiotensin converting enzyme (Ace) inhibitors for the treatment of high blood pressure and heart failure.
		John was born in Tardebigg, Worcestershire; his father - the son of a Russian immigrant - worked as a carpenter, and his mother came from a farming family.
		John was one of the greatest pharmacologists of the 20th century; for his colleagues, he will be remembered as an outstanding teacher, speaker, writer, thinker, manager, friend and all-round inspiration.

	Sir John Robert Vane - Encyclopedia.com
		With B. Samuelsson and Sune K. Bergström, Vane was awarded the 1982 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
		The trio won the prize for their identification and description of various compounds known as prostaglandins, which affect such functions as blood pressure and body temperature.
		Vane's work helped explain the effects on the body of aspirin, the world's most widely used drug and also contributed to the discovery and development of cox-1 and cox-2 inhibitors (see nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: John Knox
		The new Confession of Faith, drawn up by Knox and his friends, was adopted word for word; the authority of the pope was abolished; the celebration of Mass was forbidden -- "under certain penalties", as one of Knox's biographers mildly remarks, the penalty for the third offence being in fact death.
		The Catholic Church of Scotland was extinct, as far as human power could extinguish it, and the Protestant religion officially established.
		The Catholic earls sent Bishop John Lesley to invite the widowed queen to land in the Catholic north; but she distrusted them, not without reason, and confided rather in her Protestant half-brother, Lord James Stewart, who promised that she should be allowed the private celebration of Mass in Scotland.

	Sune Bergstrom \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		Bergstrom, long associated with the Swedish Karolinska Institute of medicine, pioneered the investigation of prostaglandins, mistakenly so named in the 1930s when it was thought they came from the prostate gland.
		He was honored for deciphering their true nature, while working with a fellow Swede and former student of his, Bengt Ingemar Samuelsson, also of the Karolinska Institute, and John Robert Vane, a Briton with the Wellcome Research Foundation, who had worked independently.
		Vane discovered that aspirin almost completely blocks prostaglandin production, thereby reducing fever, pain and inflammation.
