    Notes: Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have recently been proposed as important contributors to ageing and degenerative diseases. In this study, we applied the polymerase chain reaction technique to detect 4.977 bp-deleted mtDNA, the most common and abundant deletion of mtDNA, in normal human skin. None of the skin specimens from patients less than 60 years of age were found to bear this type of mtDNA deletion. The incidence of the 4977-bp-deleted mtDNA increased with advancing age. The incidence of the deletion was 20%, 46.7% and 83.4% for patients of the age groups of 61–70, 71–80, and 81–90 years, respectively. Moreover, the incidence of 4977-bp-deleted mtDNA was significantly higher in exposed skin than that in non-exposed skin. We suggest that mtDNA mutations are molecular events associated with the human skin ageing process.

    Notes: Abstract The normality (Gaussian property) and stationarity of the cardiac Doppler blood-flow signal were evaluated on short-time segments distributed over the cardiac cycle. The basic approaches used to perform statistical tests on the nonstationary and quasiperiodic cardiac Doppler signal are presented. The results obtained from the data of ten patients having a normal aortic valve and ten patients having a stenotic valve indicate that a complex Gaussian random process is an acceptable approximation for the clinical cardiac Doppler signal. For segments of 10 ms or less, 82 per cent of them were accepted to be stationary with a significance level of 0.05, whereas for durations greater than 40 ms, the percentage of stationary segments was less than 75 per cent. It was concluded that the 10ms window generally used in practice is a good choice for Doppler spectrogram estimation, but a shorter time interval would be preferable.
