    Notes: The dependence of the fluorescence lifetime of the 4S3/2 state of the Er3+ ion on the ErF3 concentration was measured in fluorozirconate glasses at room temperature. Energy transfer rates were calculated from optical parameters assuming that the Er3+ ions in fluorozirconate glasses were dispersed as the cubic, bcc, or fcc structure, and were inserted into the rate equation. The dependence of the total transition rate of the 4S3/2 state of the Er3+ ion on the ErF3 concentration was calculated by using the rate equation and compared with the total transition rate measured by the lifetime experiment. Although many studies have reported the energy transfer rates in various rare-earth ions, the reliability of the calculated energy transfer rates has been hardly discussed. The energy transfer rate can be derived from the total transition rate. The energy transfer rate estimated from the rate equation calculation was compared with the energy transfer rate obtained from the lifetime measurement. It could be shown that the calculated energy transfer rate assuming that the Er3+ ions were dispersed as the cubic structure was closer to the measured energy transfer rate than that as the bcc and fcc structures. With increasing the ErF3 concentration, the calculated energy transfer rate when the Er3+ ions were dispersed as the cubic structure was comparable to the measured energy transfer rate. It was suggested that at the lower concentration of ErF3 (≤2 mol %), we needed to use the distance between Er3+ ions which was shorter than that as the cubic structure in the calculation of the energy transfer rate. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Background: Alkaline oesophagitis attributable to duodenal mechanisms may induce oesophageal carcinogenesis in a rat reflux model. Aim: To investigate the mechanism of the regurgitation after distal partial gastrectomy. Methods: Oesophageal manometry was used in 16 patients before and after distal partial gastrectomy with reconstruction by Bilroth methods. Serum concentrations of four gastrointestinal hormones were measured by radioimmunoassay in 10 gastrectomy patients and nine healthy volunteers before and after a standardized meal. Results: The lower oesophageal sphincter pressure was reduced to 83% after surgery. The amplitude and duration of the peristaltic waves tended to be increased, and the velocity tended to be less after surgery (amplitude 120%, duration 114%, velocity 88%). Interrupted waves appeared more frequently after surgery. The manometric changes in gastrectomized patients are considered to be disadvantageous relative to regurgitation. After surgery, gastrin and pancreatic polypeptide were completely abolished postprandially, whereas cholecystokinin and neurotensin were significantly increased. Conclusion: The hormonal changes should have a suppressive effect on the lower oesophageal sphincter. Both the manometric and the hormonal changes may exacerbate reflux oesophagitis after distal partial gastrectomy.

    Notes: Aim: A method for preparing acellular trachea scaffold and its effectiveness were investigated by using rabbits and dogs Methods: The sacrificed dog or rabbit trachea was collected. The spiral stent of stainless steel was inserted in the obtained trachea. To remove all of cellular components in tissues, the trachea was rinsed with sterilized 0.5% Triton X-100 for 24 to 48 hours at ambient temperature and then for removing the detergents completely using fresh water. The acellular trachea obtained was lyophilized and sterilized by ethylene oxide gas. Before implantation, the lyophilized acellular trachea was soaked in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.5% gelatin and other adhesive molecules for 2 to 18 hours at 37 degree. After 15 mm of rabbit neck trachea was removed surgically under anesthesia, the same length of reengorged acellular rabbit trachea was implanted the removed region. In the case of dog, 50 mm of thoracic trachea was removed under the mechanical ventilation and then the same length of reengorged acellular trachea was implanted by technique of end to end anastomosis. The implanted trachea was rapped by omentum. The effectiveness of acellualr scaffold on implanted-animals was evaluated by endoscope finding. Results: 1) The rabbits implanted reengorged-acellular trachea survived for minimum 10 days and maximum 60 days. It was suggested that the cause of death was the infection of implantation region. 2) The dog implanted reengorged-acellular trachea survived for over 60 days at least. The cause of death was strangulated hernia. 3) The acellular trachea containing various growth factors or cultured with fibroblasts was not always effective. Discussion: It is not necessary for the animal implanted acellular trachea to be administered the immunodepressants such as the animal implanted cryopreserved trachea. From these results, the tissue engineered acellular trachea may be more effective than the cryopreserved trachea.

    Notes: Method of producing tissue sections from endometrial scrapings Endometrial cytology is important not only for observing cytological findings, but also for assessing histological architecture. Therefore, we attempted to produce a histological preparation from the sample using an automatic fixation apparatus (ACF 1000) which employs a membrane filter method.After observation of the cytological features, the cover slip was removed and a paraffin-embedded section was prepared.Producing a histological section from a cytological specimen prepared with the ACF 1000 apparatus was more useful and easier than with the techniques described to date. Peelability of the cell was avoided by using a silane-coated membrane filter. Observation of the same cell cluster as that observed in the cytological sample was also facilitated in the histological section by this technique.

    Notes: Abstract We have isolated and characterized a Neurospora crassa cytoplasmic ribosomal protein gene, named crp-7, which is found upstream of the photolyase gene. The deduced amino-acid sequence of this gene is highly homologous to the YS25 ribosomal protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The crp-7 ORF consists of two exons which are separated by a short intron. The deduced polypeptide contains 87 amino acid residues and has a calculated molecular weight of 9.7 kDa. RFLP mapping showed that the crp-7 gene is located on the right arm of linkage group I. Southern blot hybridization analyses indicated that there is only one copy of the crp-7 gene in the N. crassa genome. Transcriptional elements, the Dde box, the Taq box and the CG element, that have been identified in other N. crassa ribosomal protein genes are observed in the promoter region of the crp-7 gene. The crp-7 mRNA levels were low in conidia and highest in young mycelia during vegetative growth. The mRNA levels of four r-protein genes, including the crp-7 gene, as well as the tef-1 gene encoding translational elongation factor 1α, were raised following the treatment of mycelia with a low concentration of cycloheximide. This indicates that the expression of r-protein genes is under the control of so-called super-induction.

    Notes: Abstract Background: To evaluate the findings of altered flow dynamics in the livers of patients with obstruction of superior vena cava (SVC) on helical computed tomography (CT). Methods: In six patients (age range = 28–80 years) with SVC obstruction, CT findings were retrospectively reviewed to identify the abnormal enhancement patterns of the liver and the relation with the extrahepatic collateral vessels and hepatic vessels. Results: Abnormal hepatic enhancement was observed in the following four (A–D) portions: (A) anterior portion of segment IV (n = 5), (B) subdiaphragmatic portion of the liver (n = 4), (C) posterior portion of the right lobe (bare area; n = 1), and (D) lateral segment of the left lobe (n = 2). Two major collateral pathways to the liver were demonstrated as follows: A and D → from the umbilical vein to the left portal vein, and B and C → from the subcapsular vein to the bare area of the liver or to the hepatic veins. On helical CT, these collateral pathways were also clearly visualized. Conclusion: When these abnormal enhancements of the liver on CT are recognized within the liver, these findings indicate diversion of contrast material into collateral pathways to the liver with SVC obstruction.

    Notes: Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is produced by many cell types in the joint, and its expression is delicately regulated. Depending on its concentration and cellular origin, NO appears to have both pro- and anti-inflammatory potential in the joint. Constitutively expressed nitric oxide synthase (NOS) produces small amounts of NO, which is essential for normal physiological homeostasis. However, inflammatory stimuli such as endotoxins, cytokines, and growth factors promote inducible NOS (iNOS) expression, initially as an anti-inflammatory response, and catalyse a high output of NO. Excessive NO can amplify inflammatory pathways and contribute to the development and maintenance of arthritis. Consequently, proper regulation of NO synthesis can lead to a novel therapeutic approach for inflammatory joint diseases. Further careful study will be necessary to develop new drugs to regulate the NO pathway and to determine the dosage, timing of administration, and duration of treatment in order to avoid both undesirable immunostimulatory effects and immunosuppressive effects.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe der Lichtstreuung wurden Mizellargewicht, kritische Mizellarkonzentration und 2. Virialkoeffizient von Mischungen ionischer und nichtionischer oberflächenaktiver Substanzen bei 30–70°C bestimmt. Mischungen von Methoxy-Polyoxyäthylen-Dodecyläther und Natrium-Dodecylsulfat in verschiedenen Mischungsverhältnissen wurde in 0,2 m Natrium-ChloridLösung geprüft. Das Mizellargewicht der nichtionischen Substanzen wächst mit steigender Temperatur. während das der ionischen Substanz abnimmt. Im Fall der Mischung wird die Zunahme des Mizellargewichts, die durch Temperaturerhöhung verursacht wird, zunehmend bei steigender Zufügung von ionischer Substanz unterdrückt. Wenn die Zufügung der ionischen Substanz einen gewissen Betrag (ca. 20%) überschreitet, nimmt das Mizellargewicht mit der Erhöhung der Temperatur ab. Gleiches Verhalten wird für kritische Mizellarkonzentration und mit 2. Virialkoeffizient festgestellt.
    Notes: Summary By means of light scattering method, the micellar weight, critical micelle concentration and second virial coefficient of mixtures of ionic and non-ionic surfactants were determined at 30°, 50° and 70 °C. Mixtures of methoxy-polyoxyethylene dodecyl ether and sodium dodecyl sulfate in various mixing ratios were examined in 0.2 m sodium chloride solution. The micellar weight of the non-ionic surfactant increases with rising temperature, whereas that of the ionic surfactant decreases. In the case of the mixture, the increase in micellar weight caused by the temperature elevation is progressively suppressed by an increasing addition of ionic surfactant. When the addition of the ionic surfactant exceeds a certain ratio (about 20%), the micellar weight decreases with the elevation
