    Notes: The development of an electron cyclotron resonance ion source for the heavy ion medical accelerator in Chiba (HIMAC) injector is reported. The HIMAC is a heavy ion medical accelerator for cancer therapy. The electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source is expected to provide a long lifetime, easy operation, and easy maintenance for medical use. The NIRS-ECR ion source has a single closed ECR stage, and a microwave frequency of 10 GHz is applied. Under the present performance, the output electrical currents of the ions are 2500 eμA for He1+, 300 eμA for C2+, 480 eμA for Ne3+, and 110 eμA for Ar6+. Stability of the intensity is better than 2%. The transmission efficiency through a low-energy beam-transport line with an acceptance of 200 πmm mrad is more than 70%; the typical 50% and 90% emittances of the injection beam with 8 keV/u are 20 and 80 πmm mrad, respectively. These performances satisfy the requirements for radiotherapy.

    Notes: We have measured Raman spectra of a diamond film prepared on the (111) surface of cubic boron nitride(c-BN) by the dc plasma chemical vapor deposition method. The polarization property of the Raman line of diamond agrees well with that of LO phonon for the (111) surface of c-BN. The agreement between the polarization property of Raman lines of diamond and c-BN indicates a possibility of the heteroepitaxial growth of the diamond film on the (111) surface of c-BN. It is found that the diamond layers on c-BN are under tensile stress of 2.2×1011 dyn/cm2. The value of the corresponding tensile strain agrees well with the lattice mismatch calculated from the lattice constants of c-BN and diamond, supporting the possibility of the heteroepitaxial growth of the diamond film. Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique not only to estimate the stress in the diamond film but also to determine the crystallographic orientation.

    Notes: Diamond thin films have been grown epitaxially on high-pressure synthesized cubic boron nitride (c-BN) particles by using dc plasma chemical vapor deposition. At the early growth stage of the film on c-BN{111} surfaces, the island structure is observed and the number density of islands is about 1011 cm−2. The growth and the coalescence of islands are also found by scanning electron microscopy observation. The continuous film is obtained at the thickness of about 2000 A(ring) and the surface of the film is rather smooth. The Raman peak of the epitaxial diamond film shows the shift toward the lower wave number due to the tensile stress involved in the film.

    Notes: In the present study, a hydrothermal hot pressing (HHP) method was used to fabricate porous hydroxyapatites with high strength. In particular, an interconnected matrix of hydroxyapatite was achieved by solution precipitation and the application of compressive stress during HHP. Hydroxyapatite samples post-sintered after this HHP treatment had a lower relative density and higher open porosity than those prepared by normal sintering. An examination of the pore characteristics suggested that the samples after HHP treatment and post-sintering had a high amount of open pores with a large and round morphology, whereas the samples prepared by normal sintering showed a denser microstructure, with a sharp-edged-pore morphology.

    Notes: Under acute conditions, maxillofacial injuries may be treated without the opportunity for an assessment of occlusal irregularities, even when there are mandibular fractures, because life-threatening injuries have priority over occlusion. Consequently, mandibular fractures may result in post-trauma malocclusion and facial deformity.The case history reported is of amale patient who had been involved in a traffic accident in childhood and suffered mandibular fractures. The initial incomplete man- agement resulted in persistent deformation of the mandible, disturbance of dental occlusion and difficulty in mastication. These irregularities were corrected during childhood by non-operative orthodontic treatment.When the patient reached adulthood, some permanent teeth were malformed because the fractures had damaged some tooth germs. However, the permanent dentition in general was almost normal as a result of the corrected primary dentition. Although the alveolar deformity due to the injury remained, the mandibular base was satisfactorily remodelled.The case reported supports the view that early restoration of normal dental occlusion before the eruption of permanent teeth contributes to the establishment of good functional dental occlusion of the permanent teeth.

    Notes: Background  The usefulness of bone marrow cells in accelerating wound healing has not been evaluated despite increasing evidence that bone marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells that have multipotentiality to differentiate into various types of cells after they enter the microenvironment of a specific tissue (niche).Objectives  To determine the effects of bone marrow cells and occlusive dressings in promoting wound healing in rats.Methods  We investigated by grafting, biopsy and immunohistochemistry whether various types of cells derived from green fluorescent protein (GFP)-transgenic rats would differentiate into wound component cells when administered topically on the wounds of rats. We also investigated whether topical application of bone marrow cells with an occlusive dressing would accelerate the healing of wounds with exposed bones, as measured by planimetry.Results  GFP-labelled bone marrow cells contained multipotent stem cells that sufficiently differentiated into wound myofibroblasts presenting with α-smooth muscle actin in granulation tissue. Other types of cells, including myocytes, adipocytes, peripheral blood cells from buffy coat and dermal fibroblasts, did not express myofibroblast characteristics morphologically or immunohistochemically. Application of bone marrow cells and an occlusive dressing accelerated the repair of wounds with exposed bones, compared with an occlusive dressing only or with the topical administration of bone marrow cells plus a semidry to dry dressing.Conclusions  Our study indicates that bone marrow cells accelerate the healing of wounds at least in part through their differentiation into wound myofibroblasts. Thus, treatment of wounds with bone marrow cells and a supportive occlusive dressing is effective in promoting the formation of healthy granulation tissue and also for the preparation of an ideal wound bed.

    Notes: Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to follow low changes in gene expression associated with antibiotic (bialaphos) biosynthesis in Streptomyces hygroscopicus. Cultures were pulse-labelled with [35S]-methionine before, during, and after the switch from primary to secondary metabolism in order to compare kinetic profiles of bialaphos (antibiotic) production (bap) genes during this metabolic transition. Separation of gene products on two-dimensional gels revealed that 27 were dependent on brpA for optimal expression and were activated as the culture approached stationary phase. Genes which encoded 10 brp4-dependent proteins were mapped to a 10 kb Sstl fragment of the 35 kb bap gene cluster by expressing them in Streptomyces lividans using the thiostrepton-inducible tipA promoter. N-terminal amino acid sequences of two brpA-dependent proteins, obtained by direct microsequencing of protein spots excised from two-dimensional gels, identified them as gene products mapping to the same region and involved in secondary metabolic conversions of the bap pathway. The kinetics of synthesis of 16 brpA-dependent gene products were characterized using QUEST computer software. Cluster analysis performed on the kinetics of synthesis of 346 of the most highly expressed gene products of HP5-29, including 16 brpA-dependent ones, identified 75 families having distinct patterns of expression. Many brpA-dependent proteins were clustered together; 10 were found in one kinetic family. These kinetic families also included brpA-independent gene products perhaps subject to similar regulatory mechanisms and thus possibly involved in bialaphos biosynthesis. The activation/derepression of bap expression took place as cultures approached stationary phase and was temporally related to synthesis of ppGpp.

    Notes: One hundred and twenty years ago, Camillo Golgi described reticular or fenestrated sheaths of extracellular matrix (ECM), enwrapping the cell bodies, axon initial segments and proximal dendrites of certain pyramidal and non-pyramidal neurons in the adult mammalian central nervous system. Such structures, currently termed perineuronal nets (PNs), are preferentially associated with GABAergic, parvalbumin-containing fast-spiking inhibitory types of cells, and mostly expressing the Kv3.1 subunit of voltage-gated potassium channels. Although some neuroanatomists validated the existence of the PNs on selected neurons in the adult brain, there was a lack of agreement concerning their origin, composition and function. Recent data suggest that PNs result from the visualization of ECM molecules that are confined to the space interposed between glial processes and the nerve cells that they outline. The substance confined to these spaces could be visualized selectively by antibodies directed to glycoproteins, proteoglycans, markers for hyaluronan, some plant lectins recognizing N-acetylgalactosamine or by monoclonal antibodies directed to epitopes on unknown molecules. The PNs appear only after birth, which they could serve as recognition molecules between certain neurons and their surrounding cells. Other putative roles include stabilization of synapses, maintenance of cellular relationships in the adult brain, concentration of growth factors around certain neurons, generation of a polyanionic ion-buffering microenvironment, as well as prevention of extracellular-space occlusion and the formation of certain link with the intracellular cytoskeleton.

    Notes: Perineuronal nets (PNs) of condensed extracellular matrix (ECM) have been shown to characterize the microenvironment of individual neurons and the chemoarchitecture of some brain regions. In the present study, PNs in the hippocampus were visualized with a cationic iron colloid method for sulphated proteoglycan content and a plant lectin from Vicia villosa agglutinin (VVA) for N-acetylgalactosamine containing glycoconjugates. The ECM molecules were organized in reticular coats (PNs) around non-pyramidal cells in the Ammons horn (Corneu Ammons, CA) and subicular region, in addition to pyramidal neurons located in CA2 and CA3 regions. CA2 stratum pyramidale exhibited the most intense staining of its PNs and a diffuse intervening neutrophil labelling, while CA3 region showed a graded fashion of staining intensity. The subiculum displayed intensely stained perineuronal coats. Notably, the hippocampal perineuronal nets revealed overlapped staining characteristics with both staining methods. However, cell coats of the subicular neurons showed various degrees of labelling characteristics with both markers. It is suggested that the PNs in the hippocampus are correlated with the fast spiking inhibitory GABAergic neurons and their target pyramidal cells, and this is important to keep the excitatory elements under control and therefore control the information processes within the hippocampus.
