    Notes: Abstract Asthma is a common disease whose morbidity and mortality are rapidly increasing. Panic disorder is common in asthma. Panic, other negative emotions, and a passive coping orientation may affect asthma by producing hyperventilation, increased general autonomic lability, a specific pattern of autonomic arousal that may cause bronchoconstriction, and/or detrimental effects on health care behaviors. Generalized panic is a risk factor for increased asthma morbidity. A repressive coping style also appears to be a risk factor for asthma morbidity because it is accompanied by an impaired ability to perceive symptoms, a necessary prerequisite for taking appropriate remediation. Several self-regulation strategies are hypothesized to be useful adjuncts to asthma treatment. Preliminary research has been done on relaxation therapy, EMG biofeedback, biofeedback for improved sensitivity in perceiving respiratory sensations, and biofeedback training for increasing respiratory sinus arrhythmia. It is hypothesized that finger temperature biofeedback also may be a promising treatment method, and that relaxation-oriented methods will have their greatest effect among asthmatics who experience panic symptoms, while improved perceptual sensitivity will be helpful both for patients who panic and those with repressive coping styles.

    Notes: Abstract. Choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) is the enzyme catalyzing the biosynthesis of acetylcholine and is considered to be a phenotypically specific marker for cholinergic neurons. We have examined the distribution of ChAT-expressing neurons in the larval nervous system of Drosophila melanogaster by three different but complementary techniques: in situ hybridization with a cRNA probe to ChAT messenger RNA, immunocytochemistry using a monoclonal anti-ChAT antibody, and X-gal staining of transformed animals carrying a reporter gene composed of 7.4  kb of 5′ flanking DNA from the ChAT gene fused to a lacZ reporter gene. All three techniques demonstrated ChAT-expressing neurons in the larval visual system. In embryos, the photoreceptor organ (Bolwig’s organ) exhibited strong cRNA hybridization signals. The optic lobe of late third-instar larvae displayed ChAT immunoreactivity in Bolwig’s nerve and a neuron close to the insertion site of the optic stalk. This neuron’s axon ran in parallel with Bolwig’s nerve to the larval optic neuropil. This neuron is likely to be a first-order interneuron of the larval visual system. Expression of the lacZ reporter gene was also detected in Bolwig’s organ and the neuron stained by anti-ChAT antibody. Our observations indicate that acetylcholine may be a neurotransmitter in the larval photoreceptor cells as well as in a first-order interneuron in the larval visual system of Drosophila melanogaster.

    Notes: Cross-strand pair correlations are calculated for residue pairs in antiparallel β-sheet for two cases: pairs whose backbone atoms are hydrogen bonded together (H-bonded site) and pairs which are not (non-H-bonded site). The statistics show that this distinction is important. When glycine is located on the edge of a sheet, it shows a 3:1 preference for the H-bonded site. Thestrongest observed correlations are for pairs of disulfide-bonded cystines, many of which adopt a close-packed conformation with each cystine in a spiral conformation of opposite chirality to its partner. It is likely that these pairs are a signature for the family of small, cystine-rich proteins. Most other strong positive and negative correlations involve charged and polar residues. It appears that electrostatic compatibility is the strongest factor affecting pair correlation. Significant correlations are observed for β- and γ-branched residues inthe non-H-bonded site. An examination of the structures showsa directionality in side chain packing. There is a correlation between (1) the directionality in the packing interactions of non-H-bonded β- and γ-branched residue pairs, (2) the handedness of the observed enantiomers of chiral β-branched side chains, and (3) the handedness of the twist of β-sheet. These findings have implications for the formation of β-sheets during protein folding and the mechanism by which the sheet becomes twisted. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: In response to the Paracelsus Challenge (Rose and Creamer, Proteins, 19:1-3, 1994), we present here the design, synthesis, and characterization of a helical protein, whose sequence is 50% identical to that of an all-β protein. The new sequence was derived by applying an inverse protein folding approach, in which the sequence was optimized to “fit” the new helical structure, but constrained to retain 50% of the original amino acid residues. The program utilizes a genetic algorithm to optimize the sequence, together with empirical potentials of mean force to evaluate the sequence-structure compatibility. Although the designed sequence has little ordered (secondary) structure in water, circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance data show clear evidence for significant helical content in water/ethylene glycol and in water/methanol mixtures at low temperatures, as well as melting behavior indicative of cooperative folding. We believe that this represents a significant step toward meeting the Paracelsus Challenge.

    Notes: A photochemical precursor to a pendant conjugated polyradical has been synthesized, poly[3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-[(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenyl)oxalato]phenylacetylene], 3. Irradiation of 3 at 77 K in the solid state at 〈 300 nm yielded poly(3-5-di-tert-butyl-2-oxyphenyl acetylene), 2, with 30-40% of the expected number of radical spins. Spin yields on the surface of solid samples appears to be considerably higher. Electron spin resonance experiments showed no evidence of cooperative exchange interaction between the pendant spins. Computational modeling indicated that a major reason for the failure of this and other polyphenylacetylenes to show ferromagnetic exchange between spins is the substantial twisting of the polyacetylene backbone required by steric interactions, leading to deconjugation and a loss of exchange interaction between pendant radicals along the chain. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Abstract This paper reviews literature on specific effects of various relaxation methods, and of differences between varieties of two widely-used (and widely modified) methods: progressive relaxation and autogenic training. There is considerable evidence for modality-specific effects. Muscularly-oriented methods have the greatest effects on the musculoskeletal system, autonomically-oriented methods on the autonomic nervous system, etc. Modified methods of Jacobson's progressive relaxation technique have a greater cognitive and less muscular focus than Jacobson's original method, and Norris and Fahrion's autogenic feedback training de-emphasizes hypnotic components of autogenic training compared with Schultz and Luthe's original method. Hypotheses are presented regarding differential effects of these modifications on clinical outcome, on their appeal and usefulness to individuals with various personality profiles, and on possible negative side effects.

    Notes: Reactions of dialkyl(trimethylsilyl)phosphanes RR′PSiMe3 (1:R, R′ = tBu; 3: R, R′ = iPr; 5: R = iPr, R′ = tBu) with Si2Cl6 provide stable trichlorosilylphosphanes RR′PSiCl3 (2, 4, 6); the reactions of silyl- and stannylamines of iPr2NMMe3 (M = Si: 11; M = Sn: 12) with Si2Cl6, however, provide the stable pentachlorodisilanylamine iPr2NSi2Cl5 (13). Heating of 1 with the technical mixture Me2(Cl)SiSiCl2Me/(MeCl2Si)2 yields the stable silylphosphane tBu2PSiMe2Cl (8) and the disilanylphosphane tBu2PSi(Me)(Cl)Si(Me)Cl2 (9). Methylation of 9 with MeLi gave tBu2PSi2Me510, which was isolated in a pure state. Reactions of tBu(iPr)PSiMe3 (5) and of organometal phosphanes tBu(iPr)PMR3 (14: M = Ge, R = Me; 17a-c: M = Sn; R = Me, Et, nBu) with Si2Cl6 were monitored by 31P, 29Si, and 119Sn NMR. - In the first step of these reactions, new tBu(iPr)PSi2Cl5 (7) is formed. 7 is accompanied by increasing amounts of tBu(iPr)PSiCl3 (6) and Me3GeSiCl3 (15)/(Me3Ge)2Si(SiCl3)2 (16) or traces of compounds R3SnSiCl3 (19a-c) that decompose providing (R3Sn)2Si(SiCl3)2 (18a-c) and nBu3SnSi(SiCl3)3 (20c). Subsequently, compounds 19a-c decompose providing increasing amounts of 18a-c. Stannylphosphane 17bis also cleaved by SiCl4 leading to 6 with liberation of Et3SnCl, whereas 17bis formedfrom the reaction of 5 with Et3SnCl under liberation of Me3SiCl. The suggestion of an extra stabilisation of P-Si bonds of trichlorosilylphosphanes was subjected to direct evidence through the structure determination of the trichlorosilylphosphane tBu2PSiCl3 (2) in the gas phase by electron diffraction. This crowded molecule has a “normal” P-Si bond length of 225.0(12) pm; its C1 symmetric conformation with both tBu groups and the SiCl3 group twisted about 17° from the perfectly staggered positions, and with each of the three groups tilted about 6° away from each other, allows to reduce steric strain.
