    Notes: Abstract Concentrations of α and β-subunits of S100 protein (S100-α and S100-β) in rat kidney neoplasms, including renal cell and mesenchymal tumors, were determined using a highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay, and both types immunohistochemically localized in tissue sections. Concentration of S100-α in each histological type of rat tumor were lower than in normal kidney, whereas levels of S100-β (mean±SE: 29.7±14.2 ng/mg protein, n=15) in renal cell tumors were significantly higher than in normal kidneys (0.55±0.06 ng/mg protein, n=7), or mesenchymal tumors (1.21±0.43 ng/mg protein, n=9). In normal rat kidney tissues S100-α was immunohistochemically positive in epithelial cells of the distal tubules, the thin limbs of loops of Henle, and the collecting ducts. No appreciable immunostaining for S100-β was found in any nephron segment. Both S100-α and S100-β were positive for renal cell tumors, indicating new appearance of the latter during renal carcinogenesis in rats.

    Notes: Summary The accelerated transport of the blood neutral amino acids into the brain in encephalopathic patients with fulminant hepatitis and advanced liver cirrhosis was demonstrated not only by determining the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) aminogram but also by calculating the predicted velocity of the amino acid transport through the blood-brain barrier. Significant elevation in CSF aromatic amino acid (AAA) and methionine levels was observed in the encephalopathic patients. Arousal from hepatic encephalopathy by drip infusion of a branched chain amino acid (BCAA)-enriched solution was obtained coincidentally with the elevated BCAA levels and diminished concentrations of AAA and methionine in CSF. These clinical observations were confirmed experimentally in rats treated with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) andd-galactosamine by obtaining the elevation of neutral amino acid contents in the brain and the slight increase in the brain uptake index (BUI) of a radiolabeled amino acid.

    Notes: Abstract Concentrations of enolase isozymes in normal kidney and renal cell tumors in rats were determined using a highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay, and the isozymes were immunohistochemically localized in tissue sections. Levels of α-enolase in renal cell turnors were significantly lower than in normal kidney, whereas those of γ-enolase were significantly elevated (mean ±SD:211±129 ng/mg protein, n=15, as compared to 27.1±2.9 ng/mg protein, n=7). The proportion of γ-enolase in the total enolases in the tumor tissues (1.6±0.5%) was significantly higher than in normal kidney (0.15±0.005). Immunohistochemistry revealed epithelial cells of all nephron segments to be positive for the α-isozyme, whereas γ-enolase staining was strongly positive only in the loops of Henle, being faint in the distal tubules and absent in the proximal tubules. Both α- and γ-enolases demonstrated positive immunostaining in all of the seven renal cell tumors studied. These findings indicate that an isozyme switch from α- to γ-enolase occurs during rat kidney carcinogenesis, taking into account the derivation from proximal tubules, consistent with the findings for renal cell carcinomas in man.

    Notes: Abstract The alloying behavior of antimony atoms into nm-sized indium clusters has been studied in situ by TEM. When antimony atoms are vapor-deposited onto nm-sized indium clusters, a rapid dissolution of antimony atoms into indium clusters takes place and as a result InSb compound clusters are successfully formed. Such spontaneous alloying occurs even at ambient temperature. InSb clusters thus formed have the wurtzite structure. When these InSb clusters are annealed at 533 K, their structure changes into the sphalerite structure, which is the structure of the equilibrium phase of the bulk In50Sb50. The appearance of wurtzite-type InSb by spontaneous alloying is discussed in terms of ionicity of bonds in InSb.
