    Notes: Summary Reports of sinonasal non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, analysed with monoclonal antibodies, are scarce, and differentiation of these lymphomas from Wegener's granulomatosis can be difficult. In this study, we investigated histopathologically and immunohistologically 20 cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, primary in the sinonasal region, and sinonasal biopsies from 11 patients with Wegener's granulomatosis. All T-cell lymphomas (n=7) and plasmacytomas (n=4) were stage I at clinical presentation, while all B-cell lymphomas (n=9) presented at higher stages. T-cell lymphomas tended to be more frequent in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses; B-cell lymphomas more often presented in the nasopharynx. Remarkably, 1 B-cell lymphoma expressed MT1, and 1 T-cell lymphoma expressed L26 (CD 20). The follow-up of 2 patients with a clinical diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis was suggestive of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Retrospective immunohistochemical analysis revealed that the original histological diagnosis of non-specific inflammation had to be changed to T-cell lymphoma, pleomorphic small cell type. We conclude that a biopsy from the sinonasal region with a dense inflammatory infiltrate, consisting predominantly of Tlymphocytes, renders a diagnosis of Wegener's granulomatosis unlikely and is at least suspicious of T-cell lymphoma. Immunohistochemical analysis is warranted for this type of biopsy.

    Notes: Summary Epithelioid sarcoma (ES) is a rare malignant tumour of young adults, usually presenting as a skin ulcer or subcutaneous nodule in the distal portion of the upper limb. Multiple recurrences and late metastases are typical, leading to fatality in a third to one-half of all cases. The slow evolution of the tumour is one reason for its delayed recognition. The other is its frequent histological misinterpretation, in particular, as a peculiar granulomatous reaction. In our case, the primary tumour presented a variant morphological pattern so closely mimicking a cavernous angiosarcoma as to mislead several reputable opinions. Later recurrences and metastases were typical of ES, while a focal angiomatoid pattern was maintained. The morphology and immunoreactivity to a wide spectrum of tumour markers is compared with that of six file cases of classical ES. Retrospectively, all neoplastic lesions in our patient were ES. In young adults, lesions of the upper extremity, even when angiomatoid or haemorrhagic, should raise a suspicion of ES. Once epithelioid sarcoma is suspected, the differential diagnosis can be elucidated on immunohistochemical grounds. Early diagnosis provides the best opportunity for radical surgery at a stage when the tumour has not spread locally or disseminated systemically.

    Notes: Summary The presence, distribution and cellular localization of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) were investigated in normal human and murine epidermis using immunohistological and immunoelectron microscopic methods with monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. The immunostaining revealed an intercellular plasma membrane and cytoplasmic labelling of the epidermal keratinocytes, but no labelling of Langerhans cells, melanocytes and Merkel cells. Large amounts of TNFα were regularly found in the sebaceous glands. These findings demonstrate that epidermal keratinocytes and especially sebocytes produce and release TNFα and that this keratinocytederived cytokine may be important for the structural and functional homeostasis of normal epidermis.

    Notes: Summary Neurons in the human cerebral cortical white matter below motor, visual, auditory and prefrontal orbital areas have been studied with the Golgi method, immunohistochemistry and diaphorase histochemistry. The majority of white matter neurons are pyramidal cells displaying the typical polarized, spiny dendritic system. The morphological variety includes stellate forms as well as bipolar pyramidal cells, and the expression of a certain morphological phenotype seems to depend on the position of the neuron. Spineless nonpyramidal neurons with multipolar to bitufted dendritic fields constitute less than 10% of the nuerons stained for microtubule associated protein (MAP-2). Only 3% of the MAP-2 immunoreactive neurons display nicotine adenine dinucleotide-diaphorase activity. The white matter pyramidal neurons are arranged in radial rows continuous with the columns of layer VI neurons. Neuron density is highest below layer VI, and decreases with increasing distance from the gray matter. White matter neurons are especially abundant below the primary motor cortex, and are least frequent below the visual cortex area 17. In contrast to other mammalian species, the white matter neurons in man are not only present during development, but persist throughout life.

    Notes: The variety of results of crystallographic studies of the serine proteases complexed with isocoumnrin inhibitors presents a challenging problem to modeling methods and molecular energetics. Therefore, the thermodynamic cycle-perturbation technique has been used to study a model system of elastase and two peptidic inhibitors. Using the program AMBER, the technique correctly predicts changes of the binding constants for the trifluoroacetyl dipeptide inhibitors in comparison with available experimental (kinetic and crystallographic) data. However, the absolute values obtained are shown to be sensitive to the specific electrostatic interaction potential parameters used in the simulations. The reader and user are cautioned that thermodynamic cyle-perturbation results may be too optimistic by underestimating the accuracy of free energy values. This is especially a matter of concern for those cases where a direct comparison with experimental values is not possible, viz., (1) the simulation of binding of novel compounds, (2) structurally uncertain binding sites, or (3) structurally different binding modes. With our best 4-31G* ESP (electrostatic potential) charges we were able to reproduce experimentally determined free energy differences (ΔΔA) with an accuracy of about 1.5 kcal/mol. Dynamically induced structural changes in the binding site of elastase, and particularly changes in hydrogen-bond patterns of the binding site, are also reported.

    Description / Table of Contents: Einige für den kombinierten Polymer-Tensid-Einsatz in der tertiären Erdölförderung (EOR) diskutierte Substanzen wurden mittels statischer und dynamischer Lichtstreuung charakterisiert und bezüglich ihrer Anwendbarkeit in unterschiedlich salinaren Modellwässern durch rheologische und rheologisch-dynamische Messungen unter-sucht.Als Polymere wurden Xanthan sowie unterschiedlich hydrolysierte Polyacrylamide verwendet, als Tensid ein Ethylenglykolsulfonat. Es ließen sich Korrelationen zwischen mikroskopischen Strukturparametern (z. B. hydrodynamischer Radius, Trägheitsradius, Molekulargewicht, Gestaltparameter der gelösten Polymeren) und makroskopischem Verhalten wie Viskosität aufstellen, welche für den EOR-Einsatz wichtige rheologische Parameter darstellen.Mit ergänzenden Messungen (Oberflächenspannung, zeitabhängiges Viskositätsverhalten) können Aussagen über die Effizienz und Langzeitstabilität eingesetzter Polymer-Tensid-Slugs in unterschiedlich salinaren Lagerstätten gemacht werden.
    Notes: Some materials, suitable for application in polymer-surfactant flooding used in tertiary oil recovery (EOR), have been characterized by static and dynamic light scattering and studied in respect to their suitability in various model brines by measuring their rheological and dynamic-rheological behaviour. Xanthan and polyacrylamides of different degree of hydrolysis have been used as polymers, an ethylene glycol sulfonate as surfactant.Correlations have been established between microscopic structural parameters (Hydrodynamic radius, radius of gyration, molar mass, shape of the polymers) and the macroscopic behaviour, such as viscosity and elasticity, being important rheological parameters for EOR application. Additional investigations on surface tension and long term viscosity study lead then to a judgement for the efficiency and long term stability of polymer-surfactant slugs in various reservoirs of different salinity.

    Notes: Ethyl p-vinylbenzenesulfonate (ESS) for which a new synthesis is described has been copolymerized with vinylcarbazole, styrene, p-methylstyrene and p-bromostyrene in N,N-dimethylformamide at 60°C using azoisobutyronitrile as initiator. Copolymer compositions and copolymerization parameters have been evaluated. Q, e-values for ESS are 4,19 and -0,11. Thermal properties of the copolymers have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Polyelectrolytes have been prepared either by polymer analogous hydrolysis of the sulfonic acid esters followed by conversion of the free acids into alkali metal salts or by using the alkylating properties of the esters towards tertiary amines or pyridines to form the appropriate sulfonic acid ammonium or pyridinium salts. The latter method offers the opportunity to synthesize polyelectrolytes with a well defined content of chromophores.

    Notes: In this paper photocurrents of N-isopropylcarbazole (NIPC) derivatives in polycarbonate hosts are reported and compared to data for a benzotriazole derivative (BTA). The carbazole moiety was substituted with both electron donor and acceptor substituents and the photoconductivity was measured as a function of concentration, electrical field, and temperature using the time-of-flight (TOF) technique. The observed increase of the effective mobility of charge carriers at low dopant concentrations upon substitution with a moderate electron acceptor is in contrast to literature data for some other materials. We interpret this increase as being due to an increase in the delocalisation radius of the transport state of the substituted carbazole molecule. The field dependence of the effective mobility shows Poole-Frenkel behaviour, which is attributed to polaron formation. Comparison of the effective mobility of the NIPC derivatives with BTA shows that the size of the molecule plays a decisive role for the absolute value of the effective mobility.

    Notes: The synthesis of dextran radiocontrast carriers was undertaken to obtain derivatives expected to have slow and controlled biodegradation as well as slow extravascular diffusion features. The results presented here particularly concern derivatives including a methylamide spacer, prepared by condensation of the amine function of the contrast product with carboxymethylated dextran (CMD). The effect of various coupling reagents on the final yields is disucssed. Concerning the macromolecular features, all the synthesized products were characterized by acid-base titration, elemental analysis, flame photometry, spectroscopic determinations and gel-permeation chromatography. GPC showed that the carboxymethylation of dextran leads to some reticulation (doubling the molecular weights), whereas the coupling of CMD with the contrast compound does not alter the molecular weight and the polydispersity index of the products appreciably.

    Notes: Recent work in our laboratories has fully characterized the surface region of a segmented poly(ether-urethane) (PEU) extending from the air/polymer interfacial region through bulk depths in the micron range. This characterization utilized energy and angle dependent Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis (ESCA), Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and Comprehensive Wettability Profiling (contact angle using a homologous series of liquids) as defined by Zisman. In this study this same multi-analytical-technique approach is used to elucidate changes in these PEU surfaces induced through an H2O Radio Frequency Glow Discharge (RFGD) plasma. This investigation reports both qualitative and quantitative changes due to the modification treatments as well as the permanency of the changes effected on these surfaces through the plasma treatment. From our analyses, the amount of surface residing polyurethane (hard segment) is observed to increase due to a proposed plasma etching mechanism. Further, the addition of oxygen containing functionality is detected at the modified surfaces unique with respect to the unmodified PEU. These surface modifications which show large increases in wettability, are finally observed to be semi-permanent over a time period of 6 months.
