    Notes: Magnetic garnet films of composition (Nd,Lu,Bi)3(Fe,Al,Ga)5O12 are grown by liquid-phase epitaxy on [111] oriented substrates of gadolinium gallium garnet. They have positive uniaxial anisoptropy and support lattices of parallel stripe domains. A monomode optical rib waveguide is prepared by photolithography and ion-beam etching parallel to the (112¯) direction, which is the preferred direction of the stripe domains. A magnetic domain pattern can be created such that a domain wall is located at the rib center while the adjacent walls stick to the flanks of the rib. At a wavelength of 1.3 μm a nonreciprocal phase shift of the guided fundamental transverse electric mode is observed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The Philadelphia translocation was demonstrated by two-colour fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in decalcified paraffin sections of bone marrow from patients with chronic myelogenous leukaemia. FISH was combined with immunocytochemical detection of different membrane-bound or cytoplasmic antigens. With this new technique, the cells bearing the 9;22 translocation can be identified morphologically, as well as immunocyto-chemically, in tissue sections.

    Notes: Abstract Directional selectivities of mechanoreceptors that innervate filiform hairs on the crayfish tailfan were investigated with unidirectional, sinusoidal, water-motion stimuli. These recordings provide the first representative sample from filiform hair sensilla on the entire tailfan. The filiform hair receptors exhibit unimodal directional selectivity patterns that were well fitted by a cardioid function with a half-width of 122°. The preferred directions correspond to the major axis of hair motion, and are perpendicular to the orientation of lateral branches on the main hair shaft. Pooled plots of preferred directions demonstrate quadrimodal patterns on the telson and endopods which are associated with hair location, and a bimodal pattern on the exopods. For each appendage, the combination of the overall pattern of preferred directions with “coarse coding” of direction by individual receptors provides sensitivity to a full 0–360° range of water motion and the potential to discriminate the direction of water motion throughout this range. The results demonstrate several similarities to the wind-sensitive cercal receptor system in orthopteroid insects, and suggest that crustacean filiform hair receptors provide a sufficient sensory basis for behavioral orientation to water currents and shorelines.

    Notes: Abstract Ninety-one Hodgkin's lymphomas (HD), 52 non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) and 33 specimens of non-neoplastic lymphatic tissues were investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the presence of the bcl-2/JH gene rearrangement. The majority of the HD cases were drawn from the files of the German Hodgkin trial where diagnoses are established by a panel of four independent histopathologists. Using the very sensitive PCR method which detected 1 positive among 10000 negative cells, the bcl-2/JH gene rearrangement was found in 7/52 NHL and 3/16 tonsils with follicular hyperplasia, but in none of the 91 HD. The bcl-2 protein, however, was expressed by malignant cells of B and T cell lymphomas and by the giant tumour cells in 2/13 HD lymphocyte predominant, 11/28 HD nodular sclerosing I, 14/17 HD nodular sclerosing II, 10/27 HD mixed cellularity and 3/3 HD lymphocyte depleted. The bcl-2/JH rearrangement is thus independent of protein over-expression, the latter being found in all types of lymphomas. Our results do not confirm the findings of others who have detected the bcl-2/JH rearrangement in HD. These discrepancies may be explained by differences in choice of material, the gene rearrangement actually occuring in bystander cells but not in Reed-Sternberg or Hodgkin cells, or by contamination.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: Alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) is a severe complication during postoperative treatment of alcohol-dependent patients. Besides the use of clomethiazole, clonidine, and benzodiazepines, there is another possible way to prevent AWS by deliberate administration of ethanol. The appropriate dosage of ethanol has not been known up to now and it could be defined according to the average ethanol elimination rate (EER) which, from forensic analysis, is known to be 15 mg/dl per h in a normal population. However, it is questionable whether these data are suitable for the calculation of the correct dosage in alcohol-dependent patients. Design: Preliminary retrospective descriptive study. Setting: Intensive care unit of a university teaching hospital. Patients: 11 alcohol-dependent patients (9 males, 2 females, mean age 50.8 years, range 33 to 60 years). Interventions: Ethanol substitution (ES) by parenteral application. Measurements and results: Ethanol kinetics were evaluated by repeated measurement of the blood ethanol concentration (BEC) over a period of at least 6 h parallel to the administration of ethanol. The average EER was found to be 28 mg/dl per h with a standard deviation of 11 mg/dl per h. The minimum value was 18 mg/dl per h and the maximum 50 mg/dl per h. These EERs were significantly higher than the EERs known from forensic analysis. AWS was prevented in all 11 patients. Conclusions: Close control of BEC and precise adjustment of ethanol administration are necessary prerequisites for ES. The standard EER is not sufficient to define the appropriate ethanol dosage due to enormous variations in the ethanol metabolism of alcohol-dependent patients.

    Notes: Abstract  Characteristic chromosome aberrations have been identified in various tumors. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using specific probes that are generated by vector cloning or in vitro amplification and labeled with fluorescent dyes allow for the detection of these genetic changes in interphase cells. This technique, that is also referred to as ”interphase cytogenetics”, can be performed in cytological preparations as well as in sections of routinely formaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue. In cancer research and diagnostics, interphase cytogenetics by FISH is used to detect numerical chromosome changes and structural aberrations, e.g., translocations, deletions, or amplifications. In this technical overview, we explain the principles of the FISH method and provide protocols for FISH in cytological preparations and paraffin sections. Moreover, possible applications of FISH are discussed.
