    Notes: Abstract: Three cases of adenomatoid odontogenic tumour (AOT) were examined by morphological and immunohistochemical methods, to define the nature of tumour cells and to determine the correlation between the occurrence of extracellular eosinophilic amorphous material and epithelial tumour cells. The epithelial tumour cell components observed in this study were divided into three cell types (cell type I: small compact cells in a solid nodule and pseudoglandular cells in a duct-like structure; cell type II: peripheral elongated cells and spindle-shaped cells in a cribriform pattern; and cell type III: metaplastic squamous cells). The mesenchymal components consisted of eosinophilic amorphous material and calcified material. Immunohistochemically, the type I cells reacted positively with antibodies to transferrin, ferritin and alpha-one-antitrypsin (α1-AT), whereas the type II cells constantly indicated intense expression only for transferrin and α1-AT. All types of epithelial tumour cells reacted negatively with lactoferrin, alpha-one-antichymotrypsin, S-100 protein, S-100α subunit and S-100β subunit. Moreover, the eosinophilic amorphous material and calcified material examined were positive for the antibody against α1-AT. These materials expressed immunophenotypes similar to those of the epithelial tumour cells, except for metaplastic squamous cells. The present study showed that iron-binding proteins and proteinase inhibitor might be related to the pathogenesis of AOT. Furthermore, we indicated that the formation of eosinophilic amorphous material was associated with type I and type II cells.

    Notes: Abstract Background. The effectiveness of adjuvant chemotherapy for colorectal cancers after curative resection has been reported recently; this study was performed to clarify the reasons of for this effectiveness, which have been unclear. Methods. Two joint prospective clinical randomized studies were performed. In the first study, of patients operated on between July 1, 1981 and June 30, 1983, at 41 Centers in the Tokai district, 172 patients with colorectal cancer were allocated to two groups. In the control group, mitomycin C (MMC) was given eight times intravenously in the 4 weeks after surgery. The other group, in addition to receiving the same regimen as the controls, received oral administration of 1-hexylcarbamoyl-5-fluorouracil (HCFU) at 600 mg/day for at least 6 months after the 4-week MMC treatment. In the second study of patients operated at 7 Centers in the Tokai district between October 1, 1987 and September 30, 1990, 173 patients with colorectal cancer were allocated to two groups after surgery, a control group receiving no HCFU, the other group receiving HCFU at 0.8 mg/kg per day orally, for 1 year, beginning 4 weeks after the operation. Results. In the first study, the cumulative 10-year survival rate of the MMC + HCFU group was higher than that of the MMC-alone group (P 〈 0.05). In the second study, the cumulative 5-year disease-free survival rate of the HCFU group was higher than that of the control group (surgery alone; P 〈 0.05). In patients with colon cancers, the rate of distant metastases for all evaluable patients was lower in the MMC + HCFU group than in the MMC-alone group in the first study (P 〈 0.05), and the rate was lower in the HCFU group than in the surgery-alone group in the second study (P 〈 0.02). Conclusion. The effectiveness of HCFU in reducing the disease-free survival rate appeared to be mainly due to its preventive effect on distant metastases.

    Notes: Abstract  For the best performance of in situ analysis of specific RNA expression in calcified tissues, it is necessary to choose an appropriate protocol to decalcify the tissues. We evaluated the usefulness of various acid-based decalcifying reagents with reference to 28 S rRNA staining by in situ hybridization using a thymine-thymine dimerized oligonucleotide probe. The reagents evaluated were 10% nitric acid, 10% HCl, 5% formic acid, 5% trichloroacetic acid, Morse’s solution, Plank-Rychlo’s solution, and K-CX solution, all of which are commonly used to decalcify tissues, and their effects on retention of morphology and RNA were compared with EDTA-based solutions. When normal mouse mandible was used as a model tissue, well-preserved morphology of ameloblasts was obtained from sections decalcified with Morse’s solution, 10% HCl, Plank-Rychlo’s solution, and K-CX solution, and best retention of 28 S rRNA was obtained with 5% formic acid and Morse’s solution. We recommend Morse’s solution to decalcify tissues to be processed for the rapid analysis of specific RNA expression. Indeed, we detected specific mRNAs strongly in sections treated with Morse’s solution, and quantitative analysis showed that the ratio of signal intensities of 28 S rRNA and the specific mRNAs correlated with each other depending on decalcifying solutions.

    Notes: Abstract Vertical distribution, life cycle, and developmental characteristics of the mesopelagic copepod Gaidius variabilis Brodsky in the Oyashio region were investigated by combining analyses of field copepodite populations with laboratory-rearing data of egg hatching and naupliar development. Field samplings from five discrete depths between the surface and ≤2000 m were made approximately every month for 1 year. Most populations of G. variabilis occurred between 600 and 1000 m depth. A modest degree of reversed diel vertical migration behavior and some stage-specific depth-distribution patterns were noted. All copepodite stages were observed throughout the year, suggesting a year-round spawning of G. variabilis. From a prominent abundance peak of Copepodite Stage 1 (C1) seen in June to August, together with development times of eggs and nauplii obtained in laboratory-rearing experiments, the major spawning season was extrapolated to be April to June, the phytoplankton bloom season. Tracing the peak abundance of each copepodite stage (distinguishing males and females for C4 to C6), the generation times of males and females were deduced as 2 and 1 year, respectively. All between-stage increments in terms of wet-, dry-, and ash-free dry weights were greatest in C3/C4, and least in C5/C6 for both males and females. The increments in C3/C4 and C4/C5 were greater for males than for females, reflecting a longer stage duration of the males. These weights did not increase in C5/C6 males, possibly because feeding ceased in C6 males. These results for G. variabilis are compared with those for some mesopelagic copepods previously reported from other regions.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Der Bericht befaßt sich mit dem Wärmeübertragungsverhalten in einem vertikalen, zweidimensionalen offenen Thermosyphon mit längs der vertikalen Wand verteilten, beheizten Hohlräumen als Wärmequellen. Zur Messung des Wärmeüberganges wird Luft, zur Strömungsbeobachtung Transformatorenöl verwendet. Besonderes Interesse gilt den Einflüssen der Hohlraumtiefe und der lichten Weite für den Hauptstrom auf das Verhalten des Wärmeüberganges bei freier Konvektion. Die Umgebungstemperatur wird auf 10°C gehalten, während die Hohlraumbodentemperatur und die lichte Weite für den Hauptstrom variiert werden mit Rayleigh-Zahlen zwischen 1.2×101 und 3.8×106. Es wird festgestellt, daß der Einfluß der lichten Weite auf das Wärmeübertragungsverhalten unerwartet groß ist. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse werden in Diagrammen der Nusselt-Zahl über der Rayleigh-Zahl dargestellt. Ein Zusammenhang für die Nusselt-Zahl als Funktion von der Rayleigh-Zahl und dem Verhältnis von lichte Weite zu Länge wird gegeben.
    Notes: Abstract This paper is concerned with the heat-transfer characteristics in a vertical two-dimensional open thermosyphon whose heat sources are the heated cavities dotted along the vertical wall. Air is utilized for the measurement of heat transfer, while transformer oil for the observation of the flow patterns. Attention is particularly focussed on the effects of the depth of cavity and the clearance for main fluid-flow on the behavior of free convective heat transfer in the present open thermosyphon. Environmental temperature is maintained at 10°C, while temperature of the bottom-surface of cavity and the clearance of main fluid-flow are parametrically varied, as Rayleigh number ranging from 1.2×101 to 3.8×106. It is found that the effect of the clearance on the heat-transfer characteristics in the two-dimensional open thermosyphon is unexpectedly large. Experimental results are finally given as plots of Nusselt number versus Rayleigh number. An experimental correlation is given for the Nusselt number as a function of the Rayleigh number and the clearance/length ratio of the open thermosyphon.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A copper(II) oxide loaded resin was prepared by treating Cu(II)-form ion-exchange resin (Dowex 50W-X4) with a hot alkaline solution. The column packed with the resulting black resin was stable in the pH range of 5.5–9.6 and suited for conversion of free EDTA to the equivalent amount of Cu(II)-EDTA chelate. The copper in the effluent was determined spectrophotometrically as the diethyldithiocarbamate and thus EDTA in 10−5 M level was indirectly determined. The method was applied to the decomposition of metal-EDTA complexes on a H-form resin column (Dowex 50W-X8). The complexes of Ca(II), Mg(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) were effectively decomposed on the column even in the presence of a 100-fold amount of each metal ion. At a pH lower than 3, the liberated EDTA was fixed on the resin, but it was recovered quantitatively by washing with water. The recovery of EDTA from the Fe(III) complex was only several percent.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung CuO-beladener Ionenaustauscher wurde durch Behandlung von Ionenaustauschharz Dowex 50W-X4 in Cu-Form mit heißer alkalischer Lösung hergestellt. Die mit diesem schwarzgefärbten Harz gepackte Säule war im pH-Bereich von 5,5–9,6 stabil und eignete sich zur Umwandlung vom freiem EDTA in die equivalente Menge des Cu(II)-EDTA-Chelats. Kupfer im Eluat wurde spektrophotometrisch als Diethyldithiocarbamat bestimmt und in dieser Weise konnte indirekt EDTA im 10−5 M Bereich bestimmt werden. Die Methode wurde zur Zersetzung von Metall-EDTA-Komplexen an Dowex 50W-X8 in der H-Form angewendet. Die Komplexe von Ca(II), Mg(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Cd(II) und Zn(II) wurden auch bei Anwesenheit der 100fachen Menge jeden Metallions wirksam zersetzt. Bei pH〈3 wurde das freigesetzte EDTA an das Harz fixiert, jedoch durch Elution mit Wasser quantitativ wiedergefunden. Beim Fe(III)-EDTA-Komplex wurden nur einige Prozente EDTA gefunden.
