    Notes: We have investigated the microstructure of (Ba, Sr)TiO3 films fabricated from BaF2/SrF2/TiO2 amorphous multilayers. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction studies show that a controlled thermal treatment can interdiffuse the multilayers so as to create predominantly single-phase epitaxial (Ba, Sr)TiO3 films. A high resolution cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy investigation of the processed films shows that they consist of large epitaxial grains of (Ba, Sr)TiO3 with atomically sharp interfaces with the LaAlO3 substrates. In addition, we have identified regions where polycrystalline and transient phases exist in small pockets in the film matrix. The results here indicate that the combinatorial thin-film synthesis using precursors can produce (Ba, Sr)TiO3 films in combinatorial libraries which exhibit properties similar to those films made by conventional techniques. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have performed variable-temperature multimode quantitative microwave microscopy of in situ epitaxial Ba1−xSrxTiO3 thin-film composition spreads fabricated on (100) LaA1O3 substrates. Dielectric properties were mapped as a function of continuously varying composition from BaTiO3 to SrTiO3. We have demonstrated nondestructive temperature-dependent dielectric characterization of local thin-film regions. Measurements are simultaneously taken at multiple resonant frequencies of the microscope cavity. The multimode measurements allow frequency dispersion studies. We observe strong composition-dependent dielectric relaxation in Ba1−xSrxTiO3 at microwave frequencies. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Background: The effects of different insufflation pressures on the development of pulmonary metastasis was investigated in a mouse laparoscopy model. Methods: BALB/C mice intravenously inoculated with colon 26 cells were randomized to one of five treatment groups (10 mice per group): pneumoperitoneum at different pressures of 5, 10 or 15 mmHg; full laparotomy for 60 min; or anesthesia control. Cancer nodules on the lung surface 19 days postoperatively were compared between groups. Results: (a) As compared with the control group, pneumoperitoneum at 10 and 15 mmHg and laparotomy enhanced the growth of pulmonary metastases (p 〈 0.01). (b) The growth of metastases also was greater in laparotomy group mice than in mice undergoing pneumoperitoneum at 5 and 10 mmHg (p 〈 0.05). Conclusions: These results suggest that the effects of different insufflation pressures on the growth of pulmonary metastases are not identical, and that pneumoperitoneum with high pressure may promote pulmonary metastases similar to those with laparotomy.

    Notes: Abstract Background: Little is known about the role of the CO2 pneumoperitoneum on tumor cells that spread from the portal system into the liver during laparoscopic surgery for gastrointestinal malignancies. Therefore, we designed a study to investigate the effect of CO2 pneumoperitoneum on cancer cells implanted in the portal vein in a rabbit model. Methods: Immediately after intraportal inoculation of 2.5 × 105 cells of VX2 cancer, the rabbits received either CO2 pneumoperitoneum at a pressure of 10 mmHg for 30 min (pneumoperitoneum group, n= 14) or laparotomy alone for 30 min (laparotomy group, n= 14). Results: The number (p 〈 0.01) and area of cancer nodules (p= 0.045) on the liver surface on day 17 were greater in the pneumoperitoneum group than in the laparotomy group. The frequency of cancer nodules 〉3.0 mm in diameter was higher in the pneumoperitoneum group than in the laparotomy group (p 〈 0.001). Conclusions: Compared with laparotomy, CO2 pneumoperitoneum enhanced the development of liver metastases in this experimental model.
