    Notes: Summary Human normal dura mater containing arachnoid villi were examined for their expression of glutathione S-transferase placental type (GST-π), a detoxifying enzyme, using an immunohistochemical method. All of the arachnoid villi and arachnoid cells in five normal cases were found to have expression of GST-π, although no positive reaction for the enzyme was present in other tissues of the dura mater. The results show a possible role for arachnoid tissues in protecting human brain from hazardous xenobiotics in the cerebrospinal fluid. Twenty-six meningiomas were also examined for expression of the enzyme. Tissues of meningotheliomatous meningiomas were always positive for expression of the enzyme. Transitional meningiomas also showed the expression in their meningotheliomatous components. No staining reaction of GST-π was recognized in fibroblastic meningiomas except for two cases with a tendency to meningotheliomatous differentiation. The findings suggest a functional similarity between the arachnoid tissues and meningotheliomatous components of meningiomas.

    Notes: Abstract Chaotic behaviors of the tent map (a piecewise-linear, continuous map with a unique maximum) are studied analytically throughout its chaotic region in terms of the invariant density and the power spectrum. As the height of the maximum is lowered, successive band-splitting transitions occur in the chaotic region and accumulate to the transition point into the nonchaotic region. The timecorrelation function of nonperiodic orbits and their power spectrum are calculated exactly at the band-splitting points and in the vicinity of these points. The method of eigenvalue problems of the Frobenius-Perron operator is used. 2 m−1 critical modes, wherem = 1,2, 3, ..., are found which exhibit the critical slowing-down near the 2 m−1-band to 2 m -band transition point. After the transition these modes become periodic modes which represent the cycling of nonperiodic orbits among 2 m bands together with the periodic modes generated by the preceding band splittings. Scaling laws near the transition point into the nonchaotic region are investigated and a new scaling law is found for the total intensity of the periodic part of the spectrum.

    Notes: Summary The effect of dibutyryladenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (dibutyryl cAMP) on the expression of glutathione S-transferase placental type (GST-P) was examined in rat glioma cell line using an immunohistochemical technique. Cultured T9 glioma cells were negative for GST-P activity under normal conditions. However, treatment with 1 mM dibutyryl cAMP produced GST-P expression in about 50% of the cells, as well as some morphological changes. The expression of GST-P was increased with addition of dibutyryl cAMP together with 1 μg/ml allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) or 0.1 μg/ml benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC). With these combinated treatments, almost all cultured cells showed a strong positive reaction for GST-P, although AITC or BITC alone elicited GST-P in only 5% of the cultured cells. The results of the present study indicate that dibutyryl cAMP causes functional as well as morphological differentiation of T9 glioma cells.

    Notes: Abstract Successive band-splitting transitions occur in the one-dimensional map xi+1=g(xi),i=0, 1, 2,... withg(x)=αx, (0 ⩽x ⩽ 1/2) −αx +α, (1/2 〈x ⩽ 1) as the parameterα is changed from 2 to 1. The transition point fromN (=2n) bands to 2Nbands is given byα=(√2)1/N (n=0, 1,2,...). The time-correlation functionξ i=〈δxiδx0〉/〈(δx0)2,δxi≡ xi−〈xi〉 is studied in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Frobenius-Perron operator of the map. It is shown that, near the transition pointα=√2,ξ i−[(10−4√2)/17] δi,0-[(10√2-8)/51]δi,1 + [(7 + 4√2)/17](−1)ie−yi, whereγ≡√2(α−√2) is the damping constant and vanishes atα=√2, representing the critical slowing-down. This critical phenomenon is in strong contrast to the topologically invariant quantities, such as the Lyapunov exponent, which do not exhibit any anomaly atα=√2. The asymptotic expression forξ i has been obtained by deriving an analytic form ofξ i for a sequence ofα which accumulates to √2 from the above. Near the transition pointα=(√2)1/N, the damping constant ofξ i fori ⩾N is given byγ N=√2(αN-√2)/N. Numerical calculation is also carried out for arbitrary a and is shown to be consistent with the analytic results.
