    Notes: Abstract: Synaptosomal-associated protein of 25 kDa (SNAP-25) is thought to play a key role in vesicle exocytosis and in the control of transmitter release. However, the precise mechanisms of action as well as the regulation of SNAP-25 remain unclear. Here we show by immunoprecipitation that activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by phorbol esters results in an increase in SNAP-25 phosphorylation. In addition, immunochemical analysis of two-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis gels shows that SNAP-25 focuses as three or four distinct spots in the expected range of molecular weight and isoelectric point. Changing the phosphorylation level of the protein by incubating the slices in the presence of either a PKC agonist (phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate) or antagonist (chelerythrine) modified the distribution of SNAP-25 among these spots. Phorbol 12, 13-dibutryate increased the intensity of the spots with higher molecular weight and lower isoelectric point, whereas chelerythrine produced the opposite effect. This effect was specific for regulators of PKC, as agonists of other kinases did not produce similar changes. Induction of long-term potentiation, a property involved in learning mechanisms, and production of seizures with a GABAA receptor antagonist also increased the intensity of the spots with higher molecular weight and lower isoelectric point. This effect was prevented by the PKC inhibitor chelerythrine. We conclude that SNAP-25 can be phosphorylated in situ by PKC in an activity-dependent manner.

    Notes: Abstract: Continuous exposure of cells to agonists develops a process that determines the extent to which the cells eventually respond to further stimuli. Here we used CATH.a cells (a catecholaminergic neuron-like cell line), which express pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) receptors linked to both adenylyl cyclase and phospholipase C-β pathways, to investigate the influence of prolonged hormonal treatment on dual signaling and gene transcription. Prolonged incubation of cells with PACAP failed to down-regulate the density and affinity of membrane binding sites and caused opposite changes in messenger systems: PACAP-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation was attenuated in a time- and dose-dependent fashion (t1/2 = 6.7 h and IC50 = 0.1 nM), whereas phosphoinositide turnover was overstimulated. Both effects were insensitive to pertussis toxin, whereas the drop in cyclic AMP concentration was also unchanged in the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, indicating that neither Gi-like proteins nor cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases play a critical role in these processes. Blockade of protein synthesis with cycloheximide, as well as inhibition by H89 of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (but not by bisindolylmaleimide of protein kinase C) antagonized the influences exerted by PACAP on adenylyl cyclase activity and inositol phosphate formation. Transcription of the chimeric GAL4-CREB construct, transiently transfected into CATH.a cells, was stimulated by PACAP, and this effect was potentiated as a result of chronic PACAP treatment. The results of the present investigation provide new insight into the possible differential regulation and cross-talks of transduction signals of receptors linked to multiplex signaling. They demonstrate that prolonged exposure of CATH.a cells to PACAP results in the desensitization of the cyclic AMP pathway and superinduction of the inositol phosphate signal, through protein neosynthesis and cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activation. At the same time, they show that desensitization of cyclic AMP signaling not only fails to hamper, but actually amplifies PACAP-stimulated CREB-regulated transcription.

    Notes: Second derivative diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) in the visible range has been used to characterize changes in colour and identify the nature of Fe oxides which withstand reduction during experimental yellowing of reddish materials. It is accepted that haematite dissolves preferentially and faster than goethite, and Al-substitution controls the dissolution kinetics of Fe oxides. However, DRS has shown that haematite is more resistant than predicted and that some Fe-oxides, probably trapped within kaolinite particles, are inaccessible to solvents. DRS allows the nature of dissolved phases at each deferration step to be determined and changes in Al-content of residual phases throughout deferration to be followed. It also demonstrated that Helmholtz coordinates correlate very well with changes in Fe-oxide mineralogy and are preferable to redness ratings when monitoring differential dissolution of Fe oxides through colour measurements. DRS is a powerful and sensitive technique for monitoring the dissolution of Fe oxides in soils.

    Notes: We describe a 69-year-old woman who presented with purpura on the legs. Examination of a blood film revealed a homogenous population of abnormal lymphoid cells with villous projections. The immunophenotype was consistent with a diagnosis of splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes (SLVL). A type II (IgM–IgG) cryoglobulin was detected in the serum. Renal biopsy demonstrated a membranoproliferative type I glomerulonephritis with intraluminal IgG and IgM deposits, and a skin biopsy showed a leucocytoclastic vasculitis with outlining of the vessels by IgG and IgM. Vasculitis has been reported in association with a number of haematological malignancies, most frequently with hairy cell leukaemia. To our knowledge this is the first report of SLVL presenting with cryoglobulinaemic vasculitis.

    Notes: We report a case of acute intoxication due to a massive overdose of isotrerinoin.A 29-year-old male patient ingested 900 mg of isotretinoin corresponding to 12·5mg (kg/day) or 30 times the prescribed dosage and 1 day later the patient experienced mild headache. Forty-eight hours later, cheilitis, diffuse cutaneous xerosis and desquamation of the forehead and of the external auditory meatus occurred; cutaneous xerosis and cheilitis resolved spontaneously. We determined the serum level of isotretinoin and of 4-oxo-isotretinoin, its natural metabolite in sera taken 4, 5, 6 and 11 days following ingestion.The side-effects were mild and represented only exacerbations of some common isotretinoin side-effects. To date, three other cases of isotretinoin overdosage have been reported. There was a low toxicity of isotreitnoin overdose.

    Notes: A wedge-shaped target was implanted with nitrogen ions using the plasma source ion implantation process, in order to understand the effects of the target edges on the energy and fluence distribution of incident ions. Experimental measurements and analysis of retained dose on silicon samples affixed on the surface of the target, showed results consistent with those predicted by theoretical models. Higher retained dose and greater implantation depths were observed in the vicinity of the edge contained by the normal angle as compared to the edges contained by the acute angles. The target face with smaller area accumulated, on the average, higher dose compared to the face with the larger area. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A simple model that represents the microstructure of magnetic medium as a rectangular tesselation predicts that the mean-square jitter is inversely proportional to the track width. We test this prediction using different width heads as well as creating different track widths by partially erasing the original track. We also simulate these experiments using a micromagnetic model. Our experimental and simulation results are found to be in agreement with the prediction. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
