    Notes: Objective To establish reference ranges for the levels of alpha-fetoprotein, albumin, prealbumin (transthyretin) alpha-1-antitrypsin, transferrin, ceruloplasmin and total protein in the plasma of normal human fetuses and newborn babies.Design Prospective study of individual normal cases to fulfil objectives.Setting Pathology laboratories of the University of Edinburgh and the biochemistry laboratories of the University of Keele.Subjects Twenty-two normal fetuses 13 to 22 weeks of gestation and 66 babies born between 24 and 41 weeks gestation.Results Albumin is the predominant plasma protein throughout gestation. The levels of alpha-fetoprotein and prealbumin fell significantly with increasing gestation, whereas the concentrations of the other proteins studied increased. The ratios of individual proteins to total protein demonstrated similar trends.Conclusions This study provides developmental profiles of normal human fetal plasma proteins to serve as possible reference data for abnormal fetuses. Declining levels of prealbumin (transthyretin) were unexpected and suggest a functional role for this protein in early pregnancy.

    Notes: An apparatus utilizing laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) has been developed to measure high-resolution angular distributions of sputtered neutral atoms. LIF provides sensitive detection, a feature necessary to monitor the low atomic fluxes inherent to angularly resolved sputtering measurements in the static sputtering regime. The apparatus incorporates a detector assembly which rotates about the sample in an ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) chamber, allowing a large range of angular measurements at different ion beam incidence angles. Laser light is brought to the detector in the UHV chamber via a single optical fiber and fluorescence photons exit the chamber via a fiber bundle. The optical fiber and fiber bundle are mounted in a fixed orientation on the detector, maintaining constant alignment as the assembly rotates. Angular resolution in the polar plane containing the incident ion beam and the surface normal is better than 3°. Angular resolution in the direction perpendicular to the polar plane is governed by the Doppler shift and is 0.028° for 3.2 eV atoms. Overall detection efficiency is estimated to be 5×10−9 counts per sputtered atom and 2×10−3 counts per atom entering the detection volume. Initial experiments using polycrystalline Zr to characterize the device are described.

    Notes: Ion beams with energies in the range 1–2 keV are used to sputter neutral Zr atoms from a polycrystalline surface. Laser induced fluorescence detection is used to obtain angular distributions of sputtered neutrals as a function of ion impact direction, ion mass, ion energy, and spin–orbit state of the exiting atoms. About 40% of the sputtered atoms are excited. Angular distributions depend weakly on ion mass and energy. The angular distributions are fitted well by a modified form of the Roosendaal and Saunders model of sputtering.

    Notes: Abstract Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) by the phorbol ester 4β-phorbol myristate acetate (4β-PMA) stimulated (pro)insulin biosynthesis in collagenase-isolated rat islets of Langerhans, as assessed by measuring the incorporation of [35S]cysteine into proinsulin and insulin after fractionation by high performance liquid chromatography. The stimulatory effects of 4β-PMA were observed at a substimulatory concentration of glucose (2 mM) but were not additive to the stimulatory effects of 20 mM glucose on insulin biosynthesis. Prolonged exposure to 4β-PMA caused a marked down-regulation of PKC activity in islets. PKC-depleted islets showed a much reduced biosynthetic response to 20 mM glucose, but this was caused, at least in part, by an enhanced basal rate of (pro)insulin synthesis. These elevations in the basal rate of insulin synthesis were not secondary to an inerease in the amount of preproinsulin mRNA in PKC-depleted islets since Northern blot analysis showed that prolonged exposure to 4β-PMA, and the subsequent loss of PKC activity, did not detectably alter basal levels of preproinsulin mRNA. These results suggest that the activation of PKC stimulates (pro)insulin synthesis in rat islets by enhancing translation of existing preproinsulin mRNA, and that this may play some part in the biosynthetic responses of β-cells to glucose.

    Notes: [Auszug] SIR - M. Spiro and D. Jaganyi (Nature 364, 581; 1993) suggest that a chemical reaction takes place between tea and the suspension of calcium carbonate present in boiled hard water. I believe, however, that the main process taking place is physical adsorption of the coloured tannin from the tea on ...
