    Notes: Abstract Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GAD has been identified as a 64-kDa antigen expressed in pancreatic beta-cells, to which autoantibodies are generated prior to the onset of type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. GAD may therefore be an initiating factor in beta-cell destruction. We administered baclofen, a GABA-B receptor agonist, to non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice in an attempt to down-regulate GAD expression and thereby reduce the incidence of diabetes. Twenty-four female NOD mice were given baclofen in their drinking water at a final dose of 50 mg/kg body weight daily from weaning to 30 weeks of age. Twentyfour sex-and litter-matched mice were used as controls. At 30 weeks there was no difference in the incidence of diabetes in the treated group compared with the controls. However, there was a significant delay in the onset of diabetes in the treated group (P〈0.001, parallelism test). The degree of insulitis and the GAD activity in the pancreas per mg of protein were unchanged by baclofen treatment with respect to controls. These results suggest that baclofen may be effective in delaying diabetes onset in NOD mice by stimulating GABA activity, as this neurotransmitter, localised in the islets, may modulate insulin secretion and the antigen expression associated with it.

    Dissociation of meta-stable ions in mass spectrometers with release of internal energy (1995)

    Notes: Certain of the “meta-stable peaks” in mass spectra are abnormally wide. This extra width is shown to be associated with release of kinetic energy during fragmentation. Methods are presented for measuring this energy release and values are given for various transitions in the spectra of aromatic nitro compounds.

    Notes: The FT-Raman vibrational spectrum of a child's deciduous exfoliated tooth has been analysed and the spectral features assigned to hydroxyapatite and protein. Comparisons made with older teeth from a Romano-British burial site (∼ 2k years) and fossilised animal teeth (∼ 1 M-70 M years) indicate that the organic protein component has disappeared with interment, whereas spectroscopic features due to the inorganic phosphatic matrix are common to all samples, modern and ancient. The application of the technique to the non-destructive analysis of archaeological samples and the recording of spectra from interred samples without detriment from fluorescent material is demonstrated. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Metastable ion fragmentation processes in n-alkanes (1970)

    Notes: The n-alkanes, propane to heptane, have been studied in a modified MS-9 mass spectrometer under conditions that enabled the daughter ions, resulting from metastable fragmentation processes occurring in the first field free region, to be observed with high sensitivity. The precursor ions in these fragmentations have been identified unambiguously and a general fragmentation scheme for the n-alkanes is proposed. The mass spectrometer incorporated a variable width monitor slit and narrow settings of this slit improved the energy resolution so that fine structure could be observed in some of the ‘metastable peaks’. The implications of this fine structure are discussed.

    ‘Doubly charged ion’ mass spectra of some simple aromatic compounds (1971)

    Notes: Benzene, toluene, phenol, diphenyl ether and the three isomeric dihydroxy-benzenes have been examined using an MS-9 mass spectrometer under conditions that allowed only ions having twice the normal amount of kinetic energy to be detected. These ions are, in fact, singly charged ions arising from charge exchange reactions of doubly charged ions of the same mass, occuring in the first field free region of the Spectrometer. It is argued that the spectra obtained yield essentially the distribution of doubly charged ions in the source region. These ‘doubly charged ion’ mass spectra are compared with the normal singly charged ion spectra of the compounds and the implications of the significant differences that are found, are discussed.
