    Notes: Laser light-scattering has been used to investigate the size of native proteoglycan aggregates (PGA-aA1) from day-8 chick limb-bud chondrocyte cultures isolated under associative extraction and purification conditions in 0.4M guanidinium chloride (GdnHCl) solution. Dynamic light-scattering measurements yielded a hydrodynamic radius, Rs, of 244 ± 10 nm for PGA-aA1 in 0.4M GdnHCl, and a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 150 ± 50 × 106 was obtained from a Zimm plot. Disaggregation in 4.0M GdnHCl aqueous solution yielded proteoglycan subunits (PGS) with Rs = 39 ± 2 nm, Mw = 1.6 ± 0.3 × 106, which reassembled in 0.4M GdnHCl to form “reconstituted native” aggregates (PGA-raA1) with Rs = 121 ± 6 nm, Mw = 17 ± 3 × 106. A second specimen of PGA-aA1 had Rs = 192 ± 10 nm, Mw = 100 ± 10 × 106. The latter value was estimated from an empirical relationship between Mw and Rs. After dissociation, this specimen reassembled to form PGA-raA1 with Rs = 85 ± 5 nm, Mw = 12 ± 1 × 106. These data are compared with those for a specimen of reconstituted aggregate (PGA-A1) that had been extracted under dissociative conditions and then reaggregated by dialysis to 0.4M GdnHCl aqueous solution, for which Rs = 138 ± 9 nm, Mw = 45 ± 8 × 106. From these values, we have calculated the weight-average number of subunits per aggregate Nw: 111 for PGA-aA1 and 12 for raA1 (70 and 7 for the second PGA-aA1 and PGA-raA1 specimen, respectively) as compared to 32 for PGA-A1. The numbers of subunits per aggregate were also determined from electron micrographs of spread specimens. The latter results show the same trends as those obtained by light scattering, but lead in each case to lower numbers of subunits per aggregate. These data demonstrate conclusively that PGA samples exhibit a higher degree of aggregation in solution than visualized in typical electron microscopy (EM) preparations, probably due to disaggregation during EM specimen preparation. Since Nw determined both by light scattering (LS) and by EM are larger for native versus reconstituted aggregate samples, our data point to a more compact aggregation of subunits along the hyaluronic acid (HA) chains in the former.

    Notes: The structure and stereochemistry of four synthetic “angular” tetraflavanoid-condensed tannin derivatives are examined by high-resolution variable temperature 1H NMR. spectroscopy, and hence correlated with their dynamic behavior. Three “angular” oligomers exist as stable rotational isomers at ambient temperatures, thus contrasting with the mobility about their interflavanoid bonds of most natural profisetinidin “trimeric” and “tetrameric” homologs. A “linear” tetraflavanoid analog results from one of these regioselectively controlled condensations.

    Notes: Fractional dietary Ca absorption, ‘a’, is measured by determining the ratio of two stable isotopic tracers, one of them orally (44Ca @ 0.2-0.5 mg/kg) and the other intravenously (42Ca @ 0.02-0.1 mg/kg). Thermal ionization mass spectrometry (TIMS) is used to measure the perturbation of natural abundance isotope ratios (delta % excess). Typical sensitivity of the TIMS permits detection of a 2.5 delta % excess change from the natural Ca isotope ratio with relative standard deviations of about 0.5%. At sufficiently long times absorption becomes constant so that ‘a’ is determined by a product of constants and a measured ratio.

    Notes: Mixtures of 90, 80, and 70 percent by weight bisphenol-A-polycarbonate (PC) and 10, 20, and 30 percent by weight styrene maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymer were melt-blended in a single screw extruder. Differential scanning calorimetry (DCS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to determine the miscibility of the blends. The viscosity, as a function of shear rate and temperature, was measured by an Instron capillary viscometer. The notched impact strength as a function of temperature was measured by an Izod impact tester.The results of DSC showed two glass transition temperatures which merged slightly towards each other, indicating marginal miscibility of these blends. There was a decrease in viscosity as the fraction of SMA copolymer was increased. The most significant decrease occurred with the initial addition of SMA copolymer. The viscosity also decreased with increases in temperature. The impact strength of the blends was also dependent on SMA copolymer content. The blends showed six to ten times lower impact strengths at room temperature than the 100 percent polycarbonate. SEM analysis helped to determine the reason why the impact strength was lower for the blends. High magnification showed the presence of SMA copolymer inclusions dispersed throughout the PC matrix. These inclusions, which increased in size as SMA copolymer content was increased, acted as defects in the system.

    Notes: Carbon fiber strands were used experimentally to substitute for tendons in dogs and clinically to reconstruct tendons and ligaments in human. The investigation was carried out to determine the histologic appearance of the new composite structure and its tensile strength in comparison to the natural structure. The histologic picture disclosed a remarkable structure evolved by continuous irritation of the carbon fibers and consisting of two interrelated components: synthetic carbon fibers and biologic collagenous tissue. This carbon fiber composite structure was composed of long cylindrical units containing concentric layers of collagenous fibers and cells enveloping the core of each carbon fiber. After one year of physiologic use in dogs, the average ultimate tensile strength of the composite structure which replaced the quadriceps and triceps was 372 N, or 88% the strength of the natural tendons. One year after implantation the histologic picture of the composite structure in human showed a relatively dense collagenous architecture. However, a significant proportion of the structure was taken up by histiofibroblasts produced by the irritation of the carbon fibers. Thus, the density of the collagen in the composite structure remained relatively deficient in comparison to the nature tendon, and the structural tensile strength continued to depend entirely on the integrity of the carbon fibers.

    Notes: A new, compact electron spin polarization analyzer attachment to a scanning Auger microprobe has been described. Its operation and present performance has been demonstrated using the SEMPA technique to image the surface magnetic microstructure of three different types of magnetic samples. The unique advantages of SEMPA have been identified previously; those that were illustrated in these applications are: (1) the tecnique is surface sensitive; (2) the magnetic structure is imaged independently of the surface topography; (3) the contrast and signal are large; and (4) all three components of the polarization can be determined and therefore the surface magnetic vector can be mapped. Additionally, high spatial resolution can be achieved.

    Notes: Numerous abnormal metabolites were identified in large amounts in the urine of hypoglycin-treated rats using capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-computer analysis. These metabolites are not detectable in significant amounts in normal rats' urine. Ten of them have not been previously associated with hypoglycin administration: these are several hydroxy compounds, including those from the valine and isoleucine pathways, 2-oxo-adipic acid, n-butyrylglycine and isovaleryl glucuronide. These results indicate that the pathways of isoleucine and valine netabolism are inhibited at their respective acyl-CoA dehydrogenation steps, as is the case for fatty acid, leucine and lysine metabolism, as previously shown. The mass spectra of the trimethylsilyl derivatives of cis, cis-4,7-decadiene-1,10-dioic, cis-4-decene-1,10-dioic, cis-4-octene-1,8-dioic acids, and (methylenecyclopropyl)acetylglycine, which were previously identified using nuclear magnetic resonance and oxidative cleavage or acid hydrolysis, are presented for the first time.

    Notes: The successful analysis of two-dimensional (2-D) polyacrylamide electrophoresis gels demands considerable experience and understanding of the protein system under investigation as well as knowledge of the separation technique itself. The present work concerns the development of a computer system for analysing 2-D electrophoretic separations which incorporates concepts derived from artificial intelligence research such that non-experts can use the technique as a diagnostic or identification tool. Automatic analysis of 2-D gel separations has proved to be extremely difficult using statistical methods. Non-reproducibility of gel separations is also difficult to overcome using automatic systems. However, the human eye is extremely good at recognising patterns in images, and human intervention in semi-automatic computer systems can reduce the computational complexities of fully automatic systems. Moreover, the expertise and understanding of an “expert” is invaluable in reducing system complexity if it can be encapsulated satisfactorily in an expert system. The combination of user-intervention in the computer system together with the encapsulation of expert knowledge characterises the present system. The domain within which the system has been developed is that of wheat grain storage proteins (gliadins) which exhibit polymorphism to such an extent that cultivars can be uniquely identified by their gliadin patterns. The system can be adapted to other domains where a range of polymorpic protein sub-units exist. In its generalised form, the system can also be used for comparing more complex 2-D gel electrophoretic separations.
