    Notes: A real-space method is developed to calculate molecular hyperpolarizabilities in the time-dependent density functional theory. The method is based on the response function formalism which was developed by Senatore and Subbaswamy for the third harmonic generation of rare-gas atoms [Phys. Rev. A 35, 2440 (1987)]. The response equations are discretized in real space employing a uniform grid representation in the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate, and are solved with iterative methods such as conjugate-gradient and conjugate-residual methods. The method works efficiently for both small and large molecules, and for any nonlinear optical processes up to third order. The spatial convergence of the calculation can be examined with two intuitive parameters, the grid spacing and the spatial box size. Applications of our method are presented for rare-gas atoms and molecules, N2, H2O, C2H4, C6H6, and C60. Our results agree well with other calculations employing basis functions except for a slight deviation in a large molecule, C60. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The atmospheric environmental exposure system for synchrotron radiation (SR) lithography has been integrated using the Photon Factory storage ring (2.5 GeV). The system, composed of a highly reliable beamline, an SR extracting chamber and a prototype SR stepper, aims at attaining higher accuracy and throughput. Based on a fail-safe mechanism notion, a double-vacuum protection system, in which two sets of a fast closing valve and acoustic delay line are installed in the main beamline and branch beamline, respectively, has been organized. Vacuum breakdown tests indicated that any vacuum breakdown, a beryllium (Be) window rupture in the worst case, exerts little influence on the storage ring ultrahigh vacuum. The SR extracting chamber, equipped with a Be window and an extraction window, is filled with helium at atmospheric pressure. Particularly, the 50-μm-thick, 35-mm-diam Be window, vacuum-sealed by a Viton O-ring, was preliminarily employed and, so far, has operated successfully, giving a 25-mm square exposure area. In terms of practical availability and simplicity, the SR stepper in an atmospheric environment has been constructed. A novel differential mode linear Fresnel zone plate alignment method, which can detect an alignment error between a mask and a wafer during exposure, was developed.

    Notes: Abstract  Although the overexpression of cyclin D1 has been believed to play important roles in neoplastic transformation of some tumors, little is known about the function of cyclin D1 protein in carcinogenesis in human skin. A total of 307 patients with nonmelanocytic skin cancer, being 46 with Bowen’s disease (BOD), 134 with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 127 with basal cell carcinoma (BCC), were investigated immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibody to cyclin D1 by the LSAB method, to assess the expression of cyclin D1 in skin cancer including its precursors. The positive rates of cyclin D1 immunostaining in BOD, SCC and BCC were 63.0%, 69.4% and 54.3%, respectively. The positive rates in dysplasia adjoining BOD, SCC and BCC were 43.6%, 67.9% and 59.8%, respectively. In morphologically normal skin, however, only 2 cases, 1 of SCC and 1 of BCC, exhibited positive staining. These findings suggested that overexpression of cyclin D1 is an early event in dysplastic lesions of skin. Overexpression of cyclin D1 was related to sun exposure, especially in dysplasia of SCC. The score for cyclin D1 expression in dysplasia of BCC was correlated with age. Expression of cyclin D1 markedly increased from normal skin through dysplasia to BOD, but was not significantly related to the degree of SCC differentiation. These findings demonstrate that the effect of cyclin D1 overexpression is restricted to proliferation of cells, so that they gain a growth advantage, but their differentiation is not increased. Comparison with the results for p53 protein expression in these tumors, a significant correlation with cyclin D1 expression was found in dysplasia in BOD and SCC, and in patients with BCC who were less than 74 years old. These findings suggested the hypothesis that prior aberrant p53 expression may affect or regulate the overexpression of cyclin D1.

    Notes: Abstract  Three hundred and sixteen patients with nonmelanocytic skin cancer, including 46 cases of Bowen’s disease (BOD), 134 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and 136 cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), were examined immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibody DO-7 to assess p53 protein accumulation related to sun exposure and ageing, and growth and differentiation of skin cancer and its precursors. The rates of p53 immunostaining of BOD, SCC and BCC were 80.4%, 76.1% and 70.6%, respectively. p53-positive cells were present not only in cancer nests, but also in dysplastic and even morphologically normal epidermis adjoining cancers. Sun exposure was statistically correlated with the p53 immunostaining scores in morphologically normal epidermis of the three skin cancers and in cancer nests of SCC and BCC. The positivity and score of p53 protein often differed significantly among the three types of cancer, especially in regions of dysplasia. Interestingly, differentiation of SCC was correlated with individual p53 scores for dysplasia and cancer nests, especially for dysplasia. BOD, as the precursor of SCC, demonstrated the strongest p53 expression. Furthermore, 12.3% cases with p53 negative cancer nests showed p53-positive reaction in dysplasia and in morphologically normal epidermis. It seems that the accumulation of p53 protein plays a part in precancerous lesions and in the genesis of more highly differentiated types of skin cancer and affects mainly the growth of tumour cells rather than their differentiation. For BCC, however, age was significantly related to p53 expression. Our findings suggest that overexpression of p53 in normal skin and cancer nests of SCC and BCC is significantly related to sun exposure, that the expression of p53 in BCC is an age-dependent process, and that the early accumulation of p53 protein may be a useful predictor for the detection of nonmelanocytic skin cancer.

    Notes: Abstract  We report here a case of ameloblastoma of the mandible with multiple local recurrences and metastasis to the orbit. The patient was a 63-year-old Japanese woman with visual disturbance of her right eye. Diagnostic imaging revealed a mass occupying the right orbital apex with partial intracranial involvement. She had been surgically treated for mandibular ameloblastoma 27 years previously, and the tumour had recurred three times in the past 5 years. The orbital tumour and recurrent ameloblastomas were investigated histopathologically and immunohistochemically. The tumour changed in morphology as it recurred, from follicular ameloblastoma without atypia to apparent malignant tumours disclosing undifferentiated or squamoid features. On immunohistochemical analysis, staining for cytokeratin was positive in the squamoid cells but not in the undifferentiated cells. Both histopathologically and immunohistochemically, the orbital tumour was almost identical to the undifferentiated recurrent tumour. The orbital tumour was distinct from the primary site or sites of recurrence of ameloblastoma, and we concluded that the mandibular ameloblastoma underwent malignant transformation with multiple recurrences and finally metastasized to the orbit.

    Notes: Abstract Tumours consisting of a mixture of mature adipose and smooth muscle tissues, including those designated lipoleiomyomas, fibrolipoleiomyomas and myolipomas, are exceedingly rare, but most often occur in the uterine corpus. We describe here a case of such a tumour arising in the right round ligament of a 44-year-old woman. The tumour, which measured approximately 20×15×10 cm, was well encapsulated and did not involve the intrapelvic organs. Intricate mixtures of adult adipose tissue and bland smooth muscle exhibited no cellular atypia or nuclear mitotic figures, and there was little vascular proliferation. We diagnosed the lesion as a myolipoma of soft tissue with dual differentiation, and have found only 13 cases of this tumour including our own in the English literature. The present tumour is the first reported in the round ligament. Although this tumour is rare, its recognition is important for the avoidance of erroneous diagnoses.

    Notes: Abstract Grass puffer Fugu niphobles, captured in November 1986 at Shimoda, Japan, and then reared at different temperatures ranging from 10 to 29°C, was examined for microflora changes in the skin, gill and intestines. At 10°C, the skin and gill were colonized mainly by Pseudomonas, Flavobacterium and Moraxella, while at 29°C Vibrio and Flavobacterium appeared abundantly. The intestinal microflora, consisting of Vibrio, Pseudomonas and Flavobacterium, revealed little temperature dependence, although the intrageneric composition of Vibrio changed conspicuously depending on the change of water temperature. Vibrio group 1, tentatively identified as V. alginolyticus, was detected in all tissues examined at 20 and 29°C. This, along with the fact that V. alginolyticus produces tetrodotoxin, suggests that the tetrodotoxin contained in puffer is, at least partly, accounted for by this bacterial species inhabiting intestines.
