    Notes: Intracellular levels of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) are raised following mitogenic stimulus and in neoplasia. Because lesions of the oral cavity are often difficult to assess histologically, we have determined the value of immunocytochemical detection of ODC as a prognostic indicator in 74 routinely fixed and paraffin-embedded oral biopsies using peroxidase-antiperoxidase and immunogold-silver staining. The latter proved more sensitive, yielding positive reactions in 32 of 43 oral carcinomas (11/14 well differentiated, 16/21 moderately differentiated and 3/5 poorly differentiated) and 7/11 potentially malignant lesions, compared with 19/45 carcinomas and 1/15 potentially malignant lesions, by peroxidase anti-peroxidase. Hyperplastic lesions (n= 7) and normal non-keratinized buccal mucosa (n= 7) were all negative. Follow-up was possible in 13 of the carcinoma patients. Of 7 positive ODC reactions but clinically node-free at biopsy, 2 died and 2 had recurrences within 3 years, whereas all of 6 with no immunoreactivity were symptom-free after 3–5 years. Immunostaining for ODC may be helpful for the prognostic assessment of routinely processed oral lesions and in choosing treatment.

    Notes: Fatigue damage in two austenitic-ferritic duplex stainless steels, with the structure of a natural composite and different levels of nitrogen content, was studied in low-cycle fatigue. Both steels show initial cyclic hardening followed by softening and a long stabilisation period. The cyclic stress-strain curve increases with the nitrogen content while Manson-Coffin curves of both steels intersect at medium fatigue lives. The study of the surface relief reveals intensive slip markings both in ferrite and in austenite. Their density is influenced by the nitrogen content. Both the intensity and density of the persistent slip band (PSB) markings are higher in the ferrite. Crack initiation was found to appear predominantly in PSBs in the ferritic grains at the low strain amplitudes, and in the ferritic and austenitic grains at the highest strain amplitudes. The level of the cyclic stress-strain response and the fatigue lives are discussed in terms of the cyclic strain localisation and of the effect of texture and nitrogen content on the strength and fatigue damage. The increased strength of the austenitic phase, due to high nitrogen alloying, results in cyclic slip localisation in the ferrite, and the decrease of fatigue life, compared with the steel with the lower nitrogen content.

    Notes: Abstract— The evolution of the surface crack distribution in single-step and two-step plastic strain amplitude controlled cycling was studied. The frequency of crack occurrence and total crack density were evaluated together with crack growth rates of the largest cracks. The crack density increases, reaches a maximum, and then decreases during fatigue life. The maximum value of crack density partitions the whole life into a “crack generation period” and a “crack propagation period”. In the first period the crack growth rate is approximately constant and is determined by the applied plastic strain amplitude. The crack growth rate increases with crack length in the second period, but is basically determined by the crack growth rate in the “crack generation” period. Hence the crack growth rate in the “crack generation” period is the life determining factor.

    Notes: Abstract— Low cycle plastic stress-strain response and fatigue life of low carbon steel in variable amplitude loading is investigated. Repeated block straining with defined probability distribution of strain peaks within a block was chosen. With the help of rain-flow analysis of a strain block the cyclic hardening/softening curves as well as the service cyclic stress-strain curves during random amplitude block loading were obtained. The relation between service stress-strain curves and the basic stress-strain curve was established. The fatigue life prediction based on the actual cyclic stress-strain response and rain-flow analysis was found to be in agreement with experimental results.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Pendant longtemps, on a admis que l'ortho- et le parasympathique étaient uniquement responsables du contrôle nerveux de l'intestin. Mais on pense maintenant qu'une proportion importante des fibres autonomes sont peptidergiques. On a découvert la présence de plusieurs peptides hormonaux dans le cerveau et dans les tissus périphériques, et la grande variété de leurs effets pharmacologiques suggère qu'ils peuvent agir localement de diverses façons, selon leur localisation. Les récents progrès dans l'identification de ces peptides sont dus principalement à l'amélioration des techniques immunocytochimiques en microscopie photonique et électronique. La substance P a été mise en évidence un peu partout dans l'organisme. Le VIP existe à concentration très élevée dans tout le tube digestif et peut jouer un rôle important comme vasodilatateur. La somatostatine est distribuée de façon diffuse: on en trouve des quantités importantes dans plusieurs parties du cerveau, dans le pancréas et dans l'intestin. La somatostatine est un puissant inhibiteur qui joue peut-être un rôle important dans l'étiologie multifactorielle de l'ulcère duodénal. La cholécystokinine a été démontrée surtout dans les cellules I du jéjunum. Elle exerce un effet moteur trés actif sur l'estomac et l'intestin: elle joue un rôle important dans la contraction vésiculaire et la sécrétion d'enzymes pancréatiques. La bombésine a été trouvée dans l'intestin, le poumon et le cerveau, et on a montré qu'elle agit un peu partout dans l'organisme. Les opiacés cérébraux endogènes, les endorphines, se trouvent surtout dans le système nerveux central et jouent probablement un rôle dans le contrôle de la douleur et des émotions. De plus, l'encéphaline est présente dans les fibres nerveuses de la sous-muqueuse et dans les cellules endocrines de la muqueuse antrale: elle peut y jouer un rôle physiologique comparable à celui de la morphine. Enfin, la neurotensine, d'abord isolée dans le cerveau, a été trouvée à concentrations maximales dans l'intestin, surtout dans l'iléon. Ses effets hypotenseurs suggèrent qu'elle pourrait être un des facteurs importants du dumping syndrome. En fait, de nombreux arguments suggèrent que toute malfonction de ce système en équilibre délicat peut avoir des implications pathologiques. Les effets dramatiques des destructions locales des systèmes nerveux autonomes sont déjà bien connus. Le rôle des neuropeptides dans de nombreuses maladies du tube digestif doit encore être précisé.
    Notes: Abstract It has long been considered that the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems were exclusively responsible for the nervous control of the gut. However, a large proportion of the autonomic nerve fibers are now considered to be peptidergic. A number of hormonal peptides have been described in both brain and peripheral tissues, and their wide range of pharmacologic actions suggest that they may act locally in a variety of ways, depending on their location. Improved immunocytochemical techniques for use-in both light and electron microscopy are largely responsible for the recent progress in identifying these peptides. Substance P has been found extensively throughout the human body. VIP is present in considerable concentrations throughout the gastrointestinal tract and may play an important role as a vasodilatory substance. The distribution of somatostatin is extensive, and large quantities have been found in several parts of the brain, as well as in the pancreas and gut. Somatostatin is a powerful inhibitory substance, and may be one of the important factors contributing to the multifactorial etiology of duodenal ulceration. Cholecystokinin (CCK) has been localized primarily in the I cells of the jejunum. It has a powerful motor effect on the stomach and intestine, as well as having an important role in gallbladder contraction and pancreatic enzyme secretion. Bombesin has been found in the gut, lung, and brain, and has been shown to act extensively throughout the body. Endogenous brain opiates, endorphins, are mainly distributed in the central nervous system and are probably involved in the control of pain and emotion. In addition, enkephalin is present in the nerve fibers of the submucosa and the endocrine cells of the antral mucosa, where it may play a physiologic role similar to morphine. Finally, neurotensin was first isolated in the brain, but has been found in highest concentrations in the gut, particularly in the ileum. Its hypotensive actions suggest that it may play a significant role in the pathophysiology of dumping syndrome. In fact, the possible pathologic implications of any malfunction in this delicately balanced system are substantial. The effects of local destruction of the autonomic nerves are drastic and already well documented. The role of neuropeptides in many serious bowel disorders is yet to be determined.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Les apudomes pancréatiques sont rares. Ils sont fréquemment curables. Il est donc important de connaître les divers syndromes cliniques qui peuvent en faire soupçonner l'existence. Le diagnostic peut être facilement confirmé par dosage radioimmunologique. L'amélioration des techniques de coloration des divers types cellulaires a montré que bon nombre de ces tumeurs sont des tumeurs mixtes, qui méritent donc l'appellation générale d'apudomes. Les tumeurs pancréatiques endocrines sont de bons exemples d'“expérimentation naturelle”: elles ont largement contribué à une meilleure connaissance des effets physiologiques des divers peptides qu'elles secrètent. Il faut espérer que l'exploration future de certaines tumeurs, comme le somatostatinome ou le PPome, apportera de nouvelles informations sur ces substances encore énigmatiques.
    Notes: Abstract Pancreatic apudomas are not common but are frequently curable. Thus, it is important for every clinician to be fully aware of the varied clinical syndromes that suggest their presence. The availability of specific radioimmunoassays has made confirmation of the diagnosis relatively simple. Advances in the techniques for staining the different cell types have led to the recognition that many of these tumors are mixed, and that the general term “pancreatic apudoma” is appropriate. Pancreatic endocrine tumors, as examples of “nature's experiments,” have yielded considerable insight into the possible physiologic effects of the various peptides they produce. It is to be hoped that further study of tumors such as the somatostatinoma and PPoma may yield further information about these enigmatic compounds.
