    Notes: We present Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of the structure factors of polydisperse hard-sphere fluids. The simulations were carried out for 108 particles and packing fractions up to φ=0.5. The size distribution of the particles was chosen randomly from a log-normal distribution. The MC results are compared with predictions obtained using Percus–Yevick approximation. It is found that for all but the highest densities and the highest polydispersities studied, the Percus–Yevick approximation provides a satisfactory description of the MC data.

    Notes: The multireference configuration-interaction (MR-CI) method is used to calculate the binding energy of the He dimer. The convergence of the binding energy to the configuration-set limit (full-CI) is followed by progressively extending the multireference configuration set. Two variants of the Pople size-extensivity correction are applied. The distance dependence of the corrections and hence the effect upon the binding energy turns out to be very small. The effect of orbital optimization is studied and it is shown that it is sufficient to optimize the orbitals used for the multireference space in an atomic multiconfiguration self-consistent field (MCSCF) calculation. In a basis of 50 atomic orbitals, the full-CI binding energy of −9.08 K can be reproduced to 0.00 K (0.02 K) in calculations using only 37 (27) reference configurations, built from the atomic 1s, 2s, 2p, and 3s natural orbitals. Using a very large basis, the 37-reference set gives a best binding energy of −10.87 K, in satisfactory agreement with Aziz's recent semiempirical result of −10.95 K. These findings suggest that the MR-CI method can be developed into an efficient tool for calculating accurate van der Waals interaction energies for larger systems.

    Notes: Background: The γ-aminobutyric acid receptor type B agonist, baclofen, inhibits transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations by influencing a vagal pathway. Although post-prandial proximal gastric function, which is vagally mediated, is important in the occurrence of transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations, the effects of baclofen on post-prandial proximal gastric motility in humans remains undetermined.Aim: To determine the effects of baclofen on post-prandial lower oesophageal sphincter function and proximal gastric motility in healthy subjects.Methods: In 11 healthy volunteers, a barostat bag and an oesophageal manometric catheter with a sleeve were simultaneously positioned; 40 mg of oral baclofen or placebo was then given in a randomized, double-blind manner. Subsequently, the intragastric bag volume, oesophageal and lower oesophageal sphincter pressure and oesophageal pH were recorded during the 90 min before and 120 min after a meal.Results: During the post-prandial period, unlike the fasting period, baclofen decreased the rate of transient lower oesophageal sphincter relaxations and increased the basal lower oesophageal sphincter pressure compared with placebo. However, the meal-induced decrease in the tone and phasic contractility of the fundus was not affected by baclofen.Conclusion: The γ-aminobutyric acid receptor type B agonist, baclofen, has a potent effect on post-prandial lower oesophageal sphincter motility without altering post-prandial proximal gastric motility, suggesting differential effects of baclofen on different signals of gastrointestinal vagal afferents.

    Notes: Background : Capsaicin-sensitive afferents have been implicated in the control of visceral sensorimotor functions.Aim : To study the effects of capsaicin on the sensorimotor function of the proximal stomach in humans.Methods : In 10 healthy subjects, a gastric barostat was used to study the effect of saline or capsaicin-containing red pepper sauce on the sensitivity to gastric distension and on gastric accommodation to a meal.Results : The administration of capsaicin was accompanied by a relaxation of the proximal stomach. After capsaicin, the compliance of the proximal stomach was increased and higher perception scores were reached for the same distending pressures. Dosing with capsaicin significantly decreased the pressures and corresponding wall tensions at the discomfort threshold. Gastric accommodation to a meal was not altered by capsaicin.Conclusion : The acute administration of capsaicin decreases proximal gastric tone, inhibits phasic contractility of the proximal stomach and increases sensitivity to proximal gastric distension. These data suggest the involvement of vanilloid receptor 1 in the modulation of gastric sensorimotor function in humans.

    Notes: Background : Intraduodenal administration of lipids, through lipid digestion and release of cholecystokinin (CCK), induces viscero-visceral reflexes that affect gastric tone and sensitivity. It is unclear whether the same mechanisms control gastric function after an orally ingested meal.Aim : To evaluate the effect of orlistat, a selective lipase inhibitor, on gastric response to an orally administered meal.Methods : Eighteen healthy volunteers participated in this study. They were treated for 5 days with orlistat (120 mg) or placebo t.d.s. in a double-blind randomized crossover design. During treatment, all subjects underwent a gastric barostat study, measurement of plasma CCK levels and a satiety drinking test.Results : Although CCK plasma levels were significantly decreased, pre-treatment with orlistat failed to affect gastric compliance (72 ± 6 mL/mm Hg and 64 ± 6 mL/mm Hg, NS), gastric sensitivity (discomfort threshold 12.2 ± 0.6 mm Hg vs. 10.9 ± 0.6 mm Hg above minimal distending pressure, NS) or gastric accommodation (172 ± 41 mL vs. 206 ± 49 mL, NS) to an orally ingested meal. Furthermore, orlistat pre-treatment had no significant effect on the amount of calories ingested during a satiety drinking test (1329 ± 88 kcal vs. 1217 ± 115 kcal, NS).Conclusion : Administration of a lipase inhibitor does not affect gastric compliance, sensitivity to distension and accommodation to an orally ingested meal, and does not influence meal-induced satiety.

    Notes: Background : Tegaserod, a 5-hydroxytryptamine-4 receptor agonist, enhances gastric emptying, but its effects on proximal stomach function have not been studied.Aim : To study the effect of tegaserod on gastric compliance, accommodation and perception of distension in humans.Methods : Nineteen healthy volunteers (10 females; mean age, 23.9 years) were studied on three separate occasions after 7 days of treatment with placebo, tegaserod 2 mg b.d. or tegaserod 6 mg b.d. in a double-blind, randomized, three-way cross-over design. After the introduction of a barostat bag, stepwise distensions were performed to determine gastric compliance and sensitivity, and a mixed liquid meal was administered in isobaric mode to assess accommodation.Results : Tegaserod had no effect on the pressures or volumes inducing first perception or discomfort. Tegaserod 6 mg b.d. enhanced fasting gastric compliance compared with placebo. Pre-prandial and post-prandial intra-balloon volumes were significantly higher after 6 mg b.d. than after placebo. Both tegaserod 2 and 6 mg b.d. shortened the time to maximum post-prandial intra-balloon volume. The amplitude of meal-induced gastric relaxation (post-prandial minus pre-prandial volumes) did not differ between the treatment arms.Conclusion : In humans, tegaserod allows for larger intra-balloon volumes both before and after a meal. These findings warrant the investigation of the therapeutic potential of tegaserod in dyspeptic patients with impaired accommodation.

    Notes: Whipple's disease is a multisystem disorder with protean manifestations and with poorly understood aetiopathogenesis. It is unclear how the immune system reacts, whether it functions normally or not, whether it protects the organism or is defeated in one way or another by the ‘Whipple bacillus’. The purpose of our study was to assess humoral and cellular immunity at the level of the intestinal mucosa. This histochemical, immunocytochemical and electronmicroscopic study, based on 16 cases, has shown that the changes in components of the mucosal immune system in Whipple's disease are quite different from normal. The phagocytic capacity of the macrophages, assessed microscopically, is abnormal, the number of intra-epithelial lymphocytes is increased, the CD 4/CD 8 cell ratio is decreased and the IgM positive cells in the lamina propria outnumber the IgA positive cells. These changes may be inter-dependent.

    Notes: A recurrent malignant spindle cell neoplasm of the kidney, occurring in a 11-year-old girl and corresponding to a malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour is reported. The neurogenic differentiation was substantiated by the presence of PGP 9.5 neurofilament and S-100 protein positivity and by the ultrastructural features. Cytogenetic analysis revealed monosomy of chromosome 22 in the tumour while the constitutional karyotype was normal. Primary malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour of the kidney is extremely rare and should, on morphology, be differentiated from stromal predominant Wilms' tumour and clear cell sarcoma of the kidney. Involvement of chromosome 22 has been described in a number of malignant renal tumours of childhood, such as Wilms' tumour (deletion), clear cell sarcoma (translocation), and rhabdoid tumour (deletion and translocation), thus suggesting common molecular mechanisms in pediatric malignant renal tumours.

    Alveolar soft-part sarcoma: evidence for its myogenic origin and for the involvement of 17q25 (1993)

    Notes: A typical case of alveolar soft-part sarcoma was examined using ultrastructural, immunohistochemical and cytogenetic methods. Immunohistochemical stains were performed on frozen sections and showed strong desmin expression with the three anti-desmin antibodies used. In addition, the tumour cells were weakly positive for vimentin and myosin. Neural markers were negative. Chromosomal analysis showed consistent involvement of 17q25—an abnormality which has been reported in another alveolar soft-part sarcoma. The histogenesis of alveolar soft-part sarcoma is still debatable but our findings support a myogenic origin. The finding of an apparently identical chromosomal abnormality in two of three thus far examined cases of alveolar soft-part sarcoma is of interest and must await further confirmation, but it may result in the identification of a chromosomal marker for this enigmatic tumour and thus pave the way for further molecular elucidation.
