    Notes: We describe the design, calibration, and performance of surface forces apparatus with the capability of illumination of the contact interface for spectroscopic investigation using optical techniques. The apparatus can be placed in the path of a Nd-YAG laser for studies of the linear response or the second harmonic and sum-frequency generation from a material confined between the two surfaces. In addition to the standard fringes of equal chromatic order technique, which we have digitized for accurate and fast analysis, the distance of separation can be measured with a fiber-optic interferometer during spectroscopic measurements (2 Å resolution and 10 ms response time). The sample approach is accomplished through application of a motor drive, piezoelectric actuator, or electromagnetic lever deflection for variable degrees of range, sensitivity, and response time. To demonstrate the operation of the instrument, the stepwise expulsion of discrete layers of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane from the contact is shown. Lateral forces may also be studied by using piezoelectric bimorphs to induce and direct the motion of one surface. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In five patients with fetal growth retardation in pregnancies with no or only a moderate and transient rise in blood pressure, vascular lesions in the placental bed spiral arteries were found. These lesions are characterized by less well developed physiological morphological changes, by extensive intimal thickening, by fibrinoid degeneration of the media and by acute atherosis. The recurrent fetal growth retardation in these pregnancies may be the first clinical manifestation of underlying reno-vascular disease.

    Notes: Background  Hereditary subtotal leuconychia is a rare nail disease. The gene(s) underlying this phenotype is (are) not known. Immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies of nails are performed infrequently.Objectives  To perform genetic linkage analysis and to assess ultrastructure and soft/hard keratin expression in hereditary white nails.Methods  We have analysed microscopically and ultrastructurally the white nails of a patient from a family in which the trait is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner as an isolated symptom. No skin lesions or hair abnormalities could be detected. Genetic linkage studies were performed on DNA samples obtained from several members of the affected family. A longitudinal surgical biopsy of the nail from a great toe was split in two parts. One part was fixed in formalin and processed for histopathology. Another part was further subdivided and embedded either in Epon, following fixation in 2% glutaraldehyde, or in Lowicryl K4M, after fixation in 3% paraformaldehyde. Dewaxed nail sections and Lowicryl ultrathin sections were also stained with various antikeratin antibodies.Results  Genetic linkage studies of the family pointed to the disease gene mapping to the chromosomal 12q13 region. Genes mapping within this chromosomal region include the genes coding for type II (basic) cytokeratins and hard keratins. The nail matrix presented an abnormal hypergranulosis. The upper part of the nail plate, originating from the proximal nail matrix, had a nonhomogeneous lamellar appearance, with numerous intracellular ‘lipidic’ vacuoles and ‘empty’ spaces separating keratin filament bundles. These cells were progressively shed at the nail surface. The cell loss was compensated by hyperproliferation of the distal matrix and of the nail bed keratinocytes, with persistent marked parakeratosis and loose arrangement of keratin bundles. The distal matrix and the nail bed contributed equally to formation of the lower plate. This presented the characteristics of a tissue composed of soft keratins. Accordingly, there was virtually no labelling with the Hb1 antibody to a basic hard keratin in the white nail, whereas the labelling with AE3 antibody to all type II keratins and with KL1 recognizing suprabasal soft keratins was normal or even enhanced.Conclusions  Genetic linkage indicates that the gene defect underlying the leuconychia in the family studied resides on chromosome 12q13. As the type II keratins map within this chromosomal interval, it is possible that a mutation in one of these keratin genes may be a cause of the hereditary leuconychia. The white appearance of nails in this disease seems to be due to an abnormal keratinization of cells originating from the proximal nail matrix, leading to the presence of abundant intracellular vacuoles and to a lesser compactness of keratins.

    Notes: We report a 53-year-old woman who presented with multiple painful red cutaneous papules that had been growing slowly for 13 years. Histopathology showed typical features of neuroma. Biological, morphological and genetic investigations were negative and excluded the diagnosis of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b. After reviewing the literature, we concluded that our patient has an extremely unusual acquired disease, which must be considered as a distinct entity in the spectrum of cutaneous neurological disorders.

    Notes: Three new polymorphic modifications of molybdenum pentachloride could be obtained by solvothermal syntheses in CCl4 and SbCl5 as solvents. The structures have been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The already known structure of monoclinic \alpha-MoCl5 (C2/m) is not isomorphous with \alpha-NbCl5 and is better derived from the closest packing of Cl atoms of the Sm type with molybdenum occupying 1/5 of the octahedral holes. The triclinic structure of \beta-MoCl5 (P\overline 1) can be derived from hexagonal closest packing. The orthorhombic structure of \gamma-MoCl5 (Pnma) and the monoclinic structure of \delta-MoCl5 (P21/c) can both be derived from double-hexagonal closest packing. All four forms of MoCl5 have in common the discrete Mo2Cl10 moieties built from edge-sharing double octahedra with the metal atoms displaced from the octahedron centres away from each other. The differences between the modifications lie in the different stacking sequences of the close-packed Cl-atom layers and the different occupation of the octahedral interstices. This is reflected in the group–subgroup relationships of the space groups of the closest packings and the molybdenum pentachlorides. X-ray powder diffraction shows that sublimed MoCl5 is a mixture of all four modifications in variable amounts and probably a further unknown form.

    Notes: Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate if dynamic gadolinium-DTPA-supported magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can monitor the therapeutic effect of a fast-acting immuno-modulating drug like anti-tumour necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-α) monoclonal antibody (moab) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Dynamic MR imaging was performed on 64 joints in a total of 18 patients before and after infusion with either a placebo or 1 or 10 mg/kg of anti-TNF-α moab. Additionally, treating the placebo group and reinfusing the verum group with either 3 or 10 mg/kg was monitored by quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Time-dependent signal intensity changes were then correlated with a total of five Paulus criteria and with ESR and C-reactive protein (CRP). No changes in either the gadolinium uptake or clinical parameters were seen after the infusion of a placebo. Therapy with 1 mg/kg anti-TNF-α moab resulted in a significant decrease in clinical disease activity, as well as in gadolinium-DTPA uptake in dynamic NMR studies. However, correlations between signal intensity changes and Paulus criteria were only demonstrated for the variable “doctor's evaluation of disease activity”. Patients given 10 mg/kg moab demonstrated a very significant improvement in all clinical manifestations of their disease, as well as a high significant reduction in gadolinium uptake (P=0.004). In addition, the latter group showed significant correlations between time-dependent signal intensity changes and five Paulus criteria: “number of swollen joints”, “number of painful joints”, “duration of morning stiffness”, “doctor's evaluation of disease activity” and “patient's evaluation of disease activity”. No differences and correlations were seen for ESR and CRP. We concluded that dynamic NMR studies are suitable to monitor inflammatory activity in RA patients under therapy with biological response modifiers such as anti-TNF-α moab.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Samples of high density polyethylene were cold drawn at room temperature on a tensile testing machine at various crosshead speeds. At speeds up to 10 mm/min inhomogeneous stretching under almost isothermal conditions is observed, leading to draw ratiosλ=8–13 and a mean value of density ϱ ≃0.80 g/cm3 in the drawn portions. At higher speeds up to 50 mm/min adiabatic heating leads to higher draw ratiosλ=13–18 and lower density ϱ ≃ 0.64 g/cm3. No “natural draw ratio” could be verified. Whereas the drop of density with increasingλ can be represented by a straight line, Young's modulusE yields an increasing function ofλ. After subjecting the samples to pressure of 5600 bar at room temperature, their density had almost reached the initial value before drawing, not showing any dependence on draw ratio or any another parameter. Young's modulusE had increased, but not to the same proportion as density. From comparison ofϱ andE for drawn samples before and after pressure treatment the network behaviour of cold drawn polyethylene is revealed.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Proben aus Polyäthylen hoher Dichte wurden bei Raumtemperatur mit verschiedenen Geschwindigkeitenv ver auf einer Zugprüfmaschine verstreckt. Beiv ver⩽ 10 mm/min beobachtet man eine fast isotherm verlaufende inhomogene Deformation, die zu Verstreckungsgradenλ=8–13 und mittleren Dichten ϱ = 0.80 g/cm3 in den verstreckten Probenbereichen führt. Die bei höherenv ver bis zu 50 mm/min eintretende adiabatische Erwähnung ergibt höhere Verstreckungsgradeλ=13–18 und geringere Dichten ϱ = 0.64 g/cm3. Es existiert kein „natürlicher Verstreckungsgrad“. Der Dichteabfall mit zunehmendemλ kann durch eine Gerade repräsentiert werden; der ElastizitätsmodulE ergibt eine mitλ zunehmende Kurve. Nach einer Druckbehandlung der Proben mit 5600 bar bei Raumtemperatur erreichte ihre Dichte fast wieder den Anfangswert vor der Verstreckung, wobeiϱ keine Abhängigkeit vonλ oder anderen Parametern zeigte. Der ModulE hatte zugenommen, aber nicht proportional zur Dichte. Der Vergleich vonϱ undE verstreckter Proben vor und nach der Druckbehandlung weist auf den Netzwerkcharakter von kaltverstrecktem Polyäthylen hin.

    Notes: Abstract Usingγ quanta from a56Co source, resonance fluorescence from a 3,452 keV level in121Sb was observed. Four deexcitingγ transitions were identified. The profile of theγ emission line, investigated by means of a high speed centrifuge, yields with a novel variety of Doppler shift analysis a lifetime of τ4,298=(110±50)fs for theγ emitting 4,298 keV level in56Fe. The lifetime of the 3,452 keV level was determined to beτ 3,452 =(200±100)fs.
