    Notes: Abstract Previous studies of ethanol reinforcement in BALB/cJ and C57BL/6J mice have shown that over a range of concentrations oral ethanol appeared to serve as a reinforcer only for the C57BL/6J mice. In the previous studies BALB/cJ mice maintained rates of responding for ethanol that only slightly exceeded the rates maintained by the vehicle, water. However, the quantity of ethanol consumed with the continuous reinforcement schedule (fixed ratio one) may have led to pharmacologically significant effects, given the high sensitivity to ethanol of this genotype. The present study tested whether and to what extent ethanol would maintain responding under increasing fixed ratio size in these two strains of mice at ethanol concentrations of 0%, 8%, and 16% (w/v). For the C57BL/6J mice, as fixed-ratio size increased from 1 to 2, 4, and 8, there were almost directly proportional increases in response rate at ethanol concentrations of 8% and 16% (w/v), but not at 0%. Post-session blood ethanol levels confirmed intake of pharmacologically significant quantities. The volume consumed per unit of body weight decreased as fixed-ratio size increased. For the BALB/cJ mice, at no condition did ethanol maintain responding at levels that significantly exceeded vehicle maintained responding. BALB/cJ mice did not differ from C57BL/6J mice as fixed-ratio size was increased during vehicle conditions. These results, along with earlier findings, demonstrate that ethanol can serve as a reinforcer for C57BL/6J mice but not in BALB/cJ mice over a range of schedule conditions. They further support the conclusion that genotype is an important determinant of ethanol reinforced behavior.

    Notes: Homopolymers of myrcene and farnesene were prepared anionically in pure cyclohexane. The microstructure, determined from an analysis of the 13C-NMR spectrum and spin-lattice relaxation times, indicates the polymers are at least 85% cis-1,4, 10% cis-3,4, and under 3% trans-1,4.

    Tissue-specific analogues of erythrocyte protein 4.1 retain functional domains (1988)

    Notes: Analogues of the human erythroid membrane skeletal component protein 4.1 have been identified in perfused rat tissues and human T and B lymphocyte cell lines, olyclonal antibodies were used which are specific for all domains of protein 4.1, the spectrin-actin-promoting 8-Kd peptide, the membrane-binding 30-Kd domain, and the 50-Kd domain. Antibody reactivity, by Western blotting of tissue homogenates, shows reactivity with proteins varying in molecular weight from 175 Kd to 30 Kd. Further, these protein 4.1 analogues appear to be expressed in a tissue-specific fashion. Of the analogues detected there appear to be at least three classes: analogues containing all erythroid protein 4.1 domains, analogues containing all domains but with modified antigenic epitopes, and analogues containing only some domains. Chemical cleavage at cysteine linkages indicates that in analogues containing the 30-Kd region the location of cysteine is highly conserved. This datum suggests that in nonerythroid 4.1 isoforms of higher molecular weight the additional protein mass is added to the amino terminal end (30 Kd end).

    Nerve pathways between the pterygopalatine ganglion and eye in cats (1988)

    Notes: By dissection of thiocholine-stained orbital preparations, it has been determined that three different nerve pathways link the pterygopalatine ganglion and the eye in cats. (1) Nerves from the proximal half of the ganglion join a plexus of nerves and ganglion cells in the rete mirabile of the maxillary artery. Branches of the internal carotid nerve also supply this plexus. Fine nerves from the plexus travel to the optic nerve and then to the eye, accompanying both the nasociliary nerve that passes through the rete and the ciliary arteries that arise from the rete. (2) One or more nerves from the nerve of the pterygoid canal and from a prominent accessory ganglion near the orbital apex course to the inferior optic nerve surface at the optic foramen; these then run distally along the optic nerve to fuse with ciliary nerves or to accompany ciliary arteries entering the eye. (3) Other nerves from the pterygopalatine ganglion travel medially around the extraocular muscle cone to join the ethmoidal and infratrochlear branches of the nasociliary nerve; some nerves from the ganglion then take a retrograde course to the optic nerve, where they join ciliary nerves or arteries to the eye. All three pathways may transmit sympathetic, parasympathetic and somatic sensory nerve fibers.

    Notes: Rapid fibroblast ingrowth and collagen deposition occurs in a reconstituted type I collagen matrix that is implanted on fullthickness excised animal dermal wounds. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of direct current stimulation on dermal fibroblast ingrowth using carbon fiber electrodes incorporated into a collagen sponge matrix. Preliminary results suggest that fibroblast ingrowth and collagen fiber alignment are increased in collagen sponges stimulated with direct currents between 20 and 100 μA. Maximum fibroblast ingrowth into the collagen sponge is observed near the cathode at a current of 100 μA. These results suggest that electrical stimulation combined with a collagen matrix may be a method to enhance the healing of chronic dermal wounds.

    Material properties of living soft tissue composites (1988)

    Notes: Collagen sponges seeded with fibroblasts have been used as a soft tissue substitute in wound healing applications. This biomaterial is a good in vitro analog of a connective tissue. Therefore, analysis of the properties of this material may be useful for theoretically modeling soft tissues. Stress-strain curves for such cell-seeded collagen sponges were measured to determine composite stiffness and ultimate tensile strength. Theoretical modeling was done by defining a particle-reinforced matrix using the composite sphere model. A system of uniaxially oriented fibers was then introduced to this equivalent homogeneous media and material properties were determined using the composite cylinder model. Geometric averaging was performed to yield the stiffness and Poissons' ratio for a composite with randomly oriented fibers. Inputs to the model were constituent material properties, cell volume fraction, and fiber volume fraction. From theoretical results, material properties of soft tissues and their substitutes depend on fiber mechanical properties and volume fraction and not cellular mechanical properties and volume fraction. Therefore, the increase in experimentally observed composite stiffness with increased cell number was due to deposition of newly synthesized stiffer collagen fibers, and not due to the physical presence of cells themselves.

    Notes: Antibodies have now been shown to catalyze a variety of chemical transformations, including hydrolytic, concerted, and bimolecular reactions. The inherent chirality of the antibody binding pocket has been exploited to exert precise stereochemical control over their catalyzed reactions. The mechanisms by which antibodies catalyze reactions are not expected to differ in any general way from those of natural enzymes. Antibodies use their binding energy to stabilize species of higher free energy which appear along the reaction coordinate or effect general acid/base catalysis. The advent of catalytic antibodies promises new catalysts that extend the range of catalysis by proteins to chemical transformations that were not required during the evolution of enzymes.
