    Notes: A rapid optical absorption change is observed in a GaAs/AlAs short-period superlattice having Wannier–Stark localization. This phenomenon is clearly explained by a rapid collapse of Wannier–Stark localization due to electric field screening by photogenerated space charges. The screening causes a positive feedback loop between restoration of the blue-shifted wavelength of the absorption band-edge towards the red and an increase in optical absorption, which causes an additional field screening. The experimental bias voltage dependence of the intensity of photoluminescence and photocurrent under high optical excitation, agree well with a model applying Fowler–Nordheim tunneling at the heterointerface cladding layer. It is concluded that the space charges are stopped near the cladding layer and that the superlattice region is almost fully screened to near the flat-band bias condition. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Pseudo-negative photocurrent spectra, i.e., the appearance of a minimum in photocurrent at an absorption maximum, are experimentally studied at different temperatures and excitation intensities in GaAs-AlAs superlattices on GaAs substrates. Superlattice and substrate are isolated by a thick Al0.3Ga0.7As barrier, but electrically connected through penetrating contacts. A simple model is proposed for the analysis of the conditions which can lead to pseudo-negative photocurrent in this sample configuration. The radiative recombination of the carriers in the superlattice was found to be the main process determining the sign of the photocurrent at an absorption maximum. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report the observation of the Wannier–Stark localization effect in short period GaAs/ InXAl1−XAs superlattices with strained barriers. The superlattices, each of which is contained in the intrinsic region of a p-i-n diode structure, consist of GaAs (3.0 nm) wells and strained shallow InXAl1−XAs (0.9 nm) barriers (X=0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) grown on GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy. In spite of the use of strained barriers, the Wannier–Stark localization effect is clearly observed for all samples at room temperature. Even the superlattice sample with the highest In content of X=0.3 exhibits distinct photocurrent spectra showing several peaks associated with Wannier–Stark ladder transitions as well as Franz–Keldysh oscillations. It is found that the transition intensities are consistent with theoretically calculated oscillator strengths based on the simplified tight-binding model. By increasing the In content X, the miniband width increases and the absorption peak energy due to the zeroth order ladder (e1-hh1 and e1-lh1) transitions decreases because of the reduced barrier height. The transition energies are consistently explained by taking modulation effects into account on the valence subbands due to the compressively strained barriers. The above results show that the use of a large strain effect on the barriers is possible in Wannier–Stark localization effect type devices. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Unstrained InGaAs (4.5 nm)/InAlAs (1.0 nm) short-period superlattices grown on a (100) GaAs substrate were studied. To achieve this growth, an In-composition-graded buffer layer and a thick InGaAs buffer layer were adopted. Structural properties were investigated by x-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy, and a compositional analysis by the thickness fringe method. X-ray diffraction patterns showed clear periodicity in the superlattices and atomic force spectroscopy images showed cross-hatch morphology for the main ridge along the (011¯) direction. Clear thickness fringes in the bright-field electron microscope images for the superlattice region and ambiguous fringes for the graded buffer layer indicate that misfit dislocation due to lattice mismatch concentrates in the graded buffer and a high-quality superlattice is successfully grown in spite of the large lattice mismatch between the superlattice and the substrate. Optical characteristics measured by photocurrent spectroscopy reveal a clear Wannier–Stark localization effect at room temperature. The experimental absorption energies agree well with calculated values by a transfer matrix method using parameters for bulk InGaAs and InAlAs. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Self-oscillations of the photocurrent have been observed in type-II GaAs-AlAs superlattices. In addition to the fundamental frequency, several higher harmonics are present. The frequency of the oscillations can be tuned for a fixed carrier density from 15 to 120 MHz by simply changing the applied bias. The frequency distribution within a certain voltage range can be varied by changing the density of photoexcited carriers. For larger carrier densities, higher frequencies are observed in a different voltage range. This system could therefore be used as a high-frequency oscillator, which can be controlled by two external parameters, the applied voltage and the light intensity. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: To facilitate recognition of the oral mucosal lesion that develops in rats with graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) induced by injecting spleen cells of parental strain rats (Brown Norway) into non-irradiated (Brown Nonvay×Lewis) F1 hybrid rats, we followed the development of the tongue lesion histologically and immunohistochemically. This assessment revealed an increase in the number of MHC class II+ cells with dendritic shape in the lamina propria to be the earliest stage of the tongue lesions in GVHD rats. The subsequent mononuclear cell infiltration with epithelial cell destruction, characteristic of GVHD. consisted of CD8+ cells and macrophages. Our findings seem to indicate that MHC class II+ cells with dendritic shape may provide antigen presentation in the induction of local immunological responses, including tissue destruction, by CD8+ cells and macrophages in the tongue of GVHD rats.

    Notes: Summary We report the natural history and management of subarachnoid fluid collections in infants and their management based on a longterm follow-up study in 20 cases. These subarachnoid fluid collections were resolved spontaneously in 17 of 20 patients and only 3 by surgical intervention at the age of 2. In our 20 patients the natural history of subarachnoid fluid collection in infants was benign unless the patients sustained head trauma. Surgical treatment was performed in the cases where a subarachnoid fluid collection developed into a subdural haematoma. Head trauma may precipitate subdural haematoma in patients with subarachnoid fluid collection. All patients except one who underwent the placement of subdural-peritoneal shunt, attained normal psychomotor development in time. During the follow-up period of 3 to 10 years after resolution of the fluid collection, no patient has had a recurrence once it resolved.

    Notes: Abstract  Although schedule-dependent cytotoxicity of etoposide has been reported, its mechanisms have not been elucidated fully. In this study, we attempted to clarify what concentration, time or exposure dose (ED, concentration of drug×time) of etoposide result in the antitumor effect on human ovarian cancer cells from the standpoint of cell cycle perturbation. The different ED were produced by different drug treatment schedules: 10 μg/ml×4 h (ED 40), 1.66 μg/ml×24 h (ED 40), 5 μg/ml×4 h (ED 20), 0.83 μg/ml×24 h (ED 20), 10 μg/ml×0.8 h (ED 8), 5 μg/ml×1.6 h (ED 8), 2 μg/ml×4 h (ED 8), 0.33 μg/ml×24 h (ED 8). Cell cycle perturbation on day 5 and the suppression of cell growth were dependent on the drug concentration at the lowest exposure dose (ED 8), but were dependent on ED at the higher EDs (20 or 40). The percentage of cells in the G2/M fraction significantly decreased from day 5 to day 7 in BG-1 cells treated at ED 20 or treated with higher concentrations (10 and 5 μg/ml) at ED 8, but not in those treated at ED 40 or treated with lower concentrations (2 and 0.33 μg/ml) at ED 8. Therefore, the cytotoxic mechanism of etoposide may not be explained by simple schedule dependency.

    Notes: Abstract  An immunocytochemical method using a recently produced monoclonal antibody (ASPM-29) with an antibody specificity to spermine (Spm) and spermidine (Spd) fixed in situ, was used to demonstrate an immunocytochemical localization of polyamine (PA) pools in the gastrointestinal tracts of rats and mice. High PA immunoreactivity was always found in the cytoplasm of cells not only at the cell proliferative zone or the precursor cell zone but also at the neighboring non-proliferative premature cell zone of the epithelium, and a gradient of decreasing PA levels was noticed from these cells to the fully mature differentiated gastric surface mucous cells and absorptive cells of the small and large intestines. Also, strong staining for PAs was seen in the cytoplasm of fully differentiated gastric chief cells and neurons of both the myenteric and submucous plexuses, whereas the nuclei of the cells remained virtually unstained. These results may suggest that PAs are closely associated with the high biosynthetic activity in the cells of the gastrointestinal mucosa of normal rats and mice. This seems to be consistent with the PA imunocytochemical results previously obtained for neoplastic cells and active protein- or peptide-secreting cells, including exocrine or endocrine cell types.
