    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.

    FATIGUE DAMAGE IN TWO-STEP LOADING OF 316L STEEL II. SHORT CRACK GROWTH (1996)

    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 Gastroesophageal reflux is common in children after successful repair of esophageal atresia (EA), and may be related to a congenital neuronal abnormality of the esophagus. This study employed a fetal rat model of adriamycin-induced EA to investigate whether the innervation of the esophagus is abnormal in EA. The fetal rats were divided into four groups: (1) normal controls; (2) a saline-injected controls; (3) adriamycin administered but without the development of EA; and (4) adriamycin-induced EA. The distal esophageal segments were immunostained with a general neural marker, protein gene product 9.5 (PGP). Immunoreactivity per cross-sectional area (/xsa) was measured with an image analyzer. The extent of the esophageal circumference encircled by PGP-stained nerve tissue was assessed. While there was no significant difference in PGP immunoreactivity/xsa between the groups, the near-complete ring of nerve tissue along the plane of the myenteric plexus was replaced by clusters of nerve tissue in the atretic group (normal vs EA, P = 0.001, Mann-Whitney U test). The abnormal distribution of nerve tissue in the atretic esophagus may be contributing factor in the esophageal dysmotility seen in EA.

    Notes: Summary Evolution of psychological disorders following head injury including memory and other cognitive disorders are common. The best known are psychiatric disturbances of various kinds after lesions of the frontal lobes. Cognitive, behavioural and emotional disorders are not usually seen in patients with bilateral temporal lesions. In our Department of Neurotraumatology we have observed 4 patients with posttraumatic lesions localized bitemporally. They developed Kluver-Bucy syndrome — rarity in human pathology — combined with three or more of the following symptoms and signs: increased oral activity, hypersexuality, hypermetamorphosis, memory disorders, placidity, loss of people recognition, bulimia. Several symptoms responded dramatically to carbamazepine. We conclude that it may be a useful agent in the treatment of this unusual syndrome.

    Notes: Summary The distribution of protein gene product 9.5 (PGP) and ubiquitin in the spermatozoa and epithelial cells in the different regions of the rat duetus epididymidis (proximal caput, distal caput, corpus and cauda) was studied by Western blotting analyses and electron microscopical immunogold labelling. Western blotting analyses showed that the PGP immunoreactive band was very intense in the caput and cauda epididymidis and almost irrelevant in the corpus, while the ubiquitin immunoreactive band was intense in the distal caput and cauda. No ubiquitin immunoreactive band was observed in the proximal caput and only a very weak band was seen in the corpus. The results of electron microscopical immunogold labelling varied from one epididymal region to another. The proximal caput epididymidis presented immunoreaction to PGP in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, cytosol, mitochondria and microvilli of most principal cells, and in the cytosol, rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria of most basal cells. No ubiquitin immunoreaction was observed in this epididymal region. In the distal caput epididymidis, PGP immunoreactivity was detected in some principal and basal cells in the same intracellular locations as described in the proximal caput. In this region, ubiquitin immunoreactivity appears in the apical cytosol and mitochondria of principal cells. The corpus epididymidis showed no immunoreaction to PGP or ubiquitin. In the cauda epididymidis, immunostaining to PGP was observed in most clear cells and in isolated principal cells. The intracellular location of PGP in both cell types was the cytosol, mitochondria and microvilli. Ubiquitin immunoreactivity was detected in the perinuclear cytosol and mitochondria — but not in the digestive vacuoles — of some clear cells. Scanty ubiquitin immunolabelling was also found in the microvilli, cytosol and mitochondria of some principal cells. The head of the spermatozoa present in the ductal lumen in all epididymal regions immunoreacted intensely to PGP. Ubiquitin was detected in the intermediate piece and residual cytoplasm of intraluminal spermatozoa present in the corpus and cauda epididymidis. These findings suggest that a non-ubiquitinated PGP irnrnunoreactive protein is secreted by the principal cells in caput epididymidis and binds the spermatozoon heads. It is possible that the clear cells of the cauda epididymidis secrete the ubiquitin that binds to spermatozoon tail.

    Innervation and neurokinin receptors during angiogenesis in the rat sponge granuloma (1996)

    Notes: Summary Angiogenesis is an essential component of wound healing and inflammation. In the rat subcutaneous sponge implantation model, angiogenesis can be enhanced by administration of the sensory neuropeptide, substance P. We have used quantitativein vitro receptor autoradiography and immunohistochemistry to investigate the development of endogenous neurovascular regulatory systems in the newly-formed granulation tissue of this model. The fraction of endothelial cells immunoreactive for proliferating cell nuclear antigen, endothelial fractional area, and133Xe clearance were used as measures of endothelial proliferation, neovascularization, and blood flow, respectively. Endothelial proliferation occurred predominantly in tissues surrounding the sponge, and peaked before neovascularization of sponge stroma and the establishment of sponge blood flow. Substance P-containing sensory nerves and specific, high affinity substance P binding sites with characteristics of neurokinin receptors of the NK1 subclass, were localized to microvessels surrounding the sponge at all time points. Lower density substance P binding sites were localized to newly formed microvessels within the sponge stroma, progressively increasing in density from day 4 to day 14. Nerve fibres were observed in the stroma of only 2 of 6 sponges at day 14, and none at earlier time points. These data support the hypothesis that substance P-enhanced angiogenesis in this model results from a direct action on microvascular NK1 receptors. Neovascularization is a sequential process, with early endothelial proliferation followed by new vessel formation and increased blood flow, with maturation of endogenous neurovascular regulatory systems occurring late in this process in inflamed tissues.

    Notes: Abstract A 1.7 kb DNA fragment encoding b-D-fructofuranosidase in a strain of Aspergillus niger was amplified by PCR, inserted into a 4.4 kb cloning vector and sequenced. Comparison of this sequence with suc1 (GenBank) showed that this invertase gene had suffered a single base deletion followed by a single base insertion 49bp further down-stream with the result that 16 amino acids are coded by a different reading frame.
