    Notes: The structure and activity of a protein molecule are strongly influenced by the extent of hydration of its cavities. This is, in turn, related to the free energy change on transfer of a water molecule from bulk solvent into a cavity. Such free energy changes have been calculated for two cavities in a sulfate-binding protein. One of these cavities contains a crystallo graphically observed water molecule while the other does not. Thermodynamic integration and perturbation methods were used to calculate free energies of hydration for each of the cavities from molecular dynamics simulations of two separate events: the removal of a water molecule from pure water, and the introduction of a water molecule into each protein cavity. From the simulations for the pure water system, the excess chemical potential of water was computed to be -6.4 ± 0.4 kcal/mol, in accord with experiment and with other recent theoretical calculations. For the protein cavity containing an experimentally observed water molecule, the free energy change on hydrating it with one water molecule was calculated as -10.0 ± 1.3 kcal/mol, indicating the high probability that this cavity is occupied by a water molecule. By contrast, for the cavity in which no water molecules were experimentally observed, the free energy change on hydrating it with one water molecule was calculated as 0.2 ± 1.5 kcal/mol, indicating its low occupancy by water. The agreement of these results with experiment suggests that thermodynamic simulation methods may become useful for the prediction and analysis of internal hydration in proteins.

    Notes: The application of reductive coulometric electrochemical detection for analysis of the monoamine neurotransmitters norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin and their common metabolites in brain and cerebrospinal fluid following separation by isocratic high performance liquid chromatography is described. The high sensitivity and screening capabilities of coulometric electrodes permits the accurate quantitation of as little as 3-5 pg of these compounds in tissue following a simple single step purification procedure. Moreover, comparison of peak height ratios obtained from analysis of authentic reference standards and tissue samples at selected multiple electrode potentials provides a straightforward means for qualitative evaluation of peak identification and purity during analysis of biological samples. The method is comparatively inexpensive and precise within and between day coefficients of variation for most compounds range from 2-5%. Thirty samples can be run in duplicate in a 24 h period.

    Notes: Wholly aromatic liquid crystalline main chain polyesters derived from terephthalic acid, phenyl- or (1-phenylethyl)hydroquinone modified with either 3,4′- or 4,4′-dicarboxydiphenylether and p-hydroxybenzoic acid, have been prepared by acidolysis and thermally investigated. All prepared polyesters exhibit excellent thermal stability up to about 400°C, however, the (1-phenylethyl)hydroquinone polyesters generally showed lower stability. Melting points could be decreased to around 200°C without any decrease in the thermal stability or the nematic range.

    Notes: A huge amount of data is collected by computer monitoring systems in the chemical process industry. Such tools as principal component analysis and partial least squares have been shown to be very effective in compressing this large volume of noisy correlated data into a subspace of much lower dimension than the original data set. Because most of what is eliminated is the collinearity of the original variables and the noise, the bulk of the information contained in the original data set is retained. The resulting low dimensional representation of the data set has been shown to be of great utility for process analysis and monitoring, as well as in selecting variables for control. These types of models can also be used directly in control system design. One way of approaching this is to use the loading matrices as compensators on the plant. Some advantages of using this approach as part of the overall control system design include automatic decoupling and efficient loop pairing, as well as natural handling of nonsquare systems and poorly conditioned systems.

    Notes: Mesophase formation of the cellulose/NH3/NH4SCN system has been studied as a function of system composition at 25°C. Compositions for incipience of mesophase formation and for wholly anisotropic phase formation have been determined and relevant phase diagrams constructed. The biphasic gap narrowed when the solvent composition approached 75.5 weight percent NH4SCN and as the cellulose concentration decreased. As solvent composition was changed, the minimum cellulose volume fraction for mesophase formation ranged between 0.02 to 0.045.

    Subperitoneal layer of elastic fibers in the female pelvis (1991)

    Notes: A preliminary report from this group described a unique layer of subperitoneal elastic fibers in the female pelvis. The current study was undertaken to better characterize this elastic layer in the female and determine if it exists in the male pelvis. Thirty-seven hemipelves were used in this study and were employed for one of two purposes: dissection and/or sampling for histologic study. The following histologic stains were employed: Verhoeff's hematoxylin for elastic fibers, Masson's trichrome for collagen, and hematoxylin and eosin for general morphology. In some areas (broad ligament) the subperitoneal elastic layer was very thin with dispersed fibers while in other areas (uterosacral fold) the layer was thick with tightly packed fibers. A subperitoneal layer of elastic fibers was not detected in samples from the greater omentum; however, a dense but poorly organized layer of elastic fibers was noted between the posterior layer of the rectus sheath and the peritoneum. While a similar layer of elastic fibers was found in the male pelvis, the layer was less dense and less well organized than in the female. These findings indicate that in addition to the well-accepted pelvic ligaments, in the female there may be a layer of elastic fibers that assists in supporting pelvic viscera in a more dynamic manner than the ligaments. Proper alignment or manipulation of this layer during reconstructive surgery may enhance postoperative results.

    Notes: The red wolf (Canis rufus) is an endangered species with 194 individuals remaining in the wild and in various captive facilities. Breeding efforts at the Graham, WA site (Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium) have involved artificial insemination with fresh or frozen semen in an effort to increase population and maximize the genetic potential of the stock. Electron microscopic observations were made in semen specimens obtained by electroejaculation from mature males prior to their use in an effort to determine semen parameters that might be useful in guiding breeding procedures. Sperm samples were either fixed immediately or treated with capacitating media and fixed after 4 to 7 hr of incubation. Many of the specimens examined were pyospermic (white cell in semen) and showed evidence of spermophagy, primarily by neutrophils. Of the six animals surveyed, only one showed little evidence of spermophagy, and three had extensive pyospermia and spermophagy but this finding was not correlated with fertility. Samples fixed immediately as well as those incubated for several hours showed evidence of spermophagy, indicating that the phagocytosis was not the result of culture. Gene pool restriction and/or captive stress may be contributing factors of reduced semen quality. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The aim of the present study was to provide a comprehensive morphological analysis of the porcine epididymis in view of the specific functions being performed in different regions of this organ. Blood supply and microvasculature of efferent ductules and epididymal duct were investigated by means of corrosion casts which were analysed macroscopically and by scanning electron microscopy. This revealed blood supply to the testis and epididymis to be closely related. The capillary pattern was typical for the efferent ductules, the caput, corpus, and distal cauda epididymidis, respectively. Corrosion casts were also used to visualize the course of the efferent ductules themselves. Tissue samples from different regions of the efferent ductules and epididymal duct were examined by light microscopy and both scanning and transmission electron microscopy, with special attention being payed to transitional areas. Morphological criteria allowed the distinction of three segments within the efferent ductules and of the initial segment, proximal caput, distal caput, corpus, proximal cauda, and distal cauda regions of the epididymal duct. Components of the endocytic apparatus of efferent ductule principal cells were identified by ferritin uptake. Ultrastructural evidence of absorption in the epididymal duct was particularly prominent in proximal and distal caput. Extensive cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum and a well-developed Golgi apparatus were indicative of active protein synthesis and secretion especially in the distal caput and corpus regions. However, assignment of various organelles in principal cells of the epididymal duct to either absorptive or secretory pathways still remains tentative. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Various fixation protocols were used in an attempt to improve preservation of rat epididymal sperm for high-resolution low-voltage scanning electron microscopy (HR-LVSEM). Wash solutions and fixatives of different composition and osmolarity were tested. Paraformaldehyde and glutaraldehyde concentrations were varied between 0.5% and 3%. Ruthenium red was tested as an additive in both primary fixation and postfixation, or in postfixation alone. HR-LVSEM revealed various degrees of ruffing, folding, blebbing, and peeling off of the plasma membrane, as well as holes of different sizes. The plasma membrane overlying the acrosome and the connecting piece proved to be particularly sensitive to varying fixation conditions. Consistent topographical differences were revealed among the different domains over the sperm head. Most of the differences were considered to be artifacts. Their consistency, however, suggests that structural and biochemical differences exist either within the membrane or in the structures subjacent to the membrane. Primary fixation turned out to be less critical than postfixation. Preservation of a smooth plasma membrane without holes could only be achieved when primary fixation in low aldehyde concentrations, with or without ruthenium red, was followed by postfixation with OsO4 and 1,000 ppm ruthenium red. Examination of thin sections of the same material confirmed that even a considerable number of small holes are difficult to detect in transmission electron microscopy. These results show that with the recent increase in resolution of LVSEM there is need for further effort to improve sample processing. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
