    Notes: Summary The macular mottled mouse is a murine model of the kinky hair syndrome, characterized by a deficiency in copper transport. Cytochromec oxidase (CCO), a respiratory enzyme, is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of seven subunits, along with copper and iron. Biochemical and histochemical findings indicated that CCO activity was decreased in the cerebellum of the macular mottled mice but not in that of the controls. Immunocytochemical analysis, using anti-CCO and anti-complex III rabbit sera, revealed that CCO in the macular mottled mice was stained more weakly than that in the controls. Immuno-electron microscopic examination of CCO and complex III, using a method of gold labeling, was also performed. In the control mice, a high concentration of gold particles present over CCO and complex III could be seen in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The number of CCO-labeled gold particles was remarkably less, however, in the macular mottled mice, while no significant difference was found in the labeling of complex III between the two groups. It may concluded that the very low CCO enzyme content in the macular mottled mouse results not only from a copper transport disorder but also from a CCO protein synthesis disorder which impairs the localization of CCO protein in the cerebellum.

    Notes: Summary A mutant strain of Wistar rats with L-gulono-γ-lactone oxidase deficiency has recently been established. To investigate this deficiency by DNA and RNA blot hybridization analyses, a fragment of a previously cloned cDNA encoding rat L-gulono-γ-lactone oxidase was used as a probe. When genomic DNA of the mutant rat was digested with several restriction enzymes, the probe hybridized to fragments of the same sizes as those produced from DNA of normal rats. Poly(A)+RNA from the liver of the mutant rat was found to contain an L-gulono-γ-lactone oxidase-specific mRNA of a normal size at a comparable level to that of normal rats. An in vitro translation experiment revealed that the mRNA programmed the synthesis of an enzyme protein which had the same molecular weight as that of the translational product of the normal mRNA, although the amount synthesized was markedly reduced as compared with that synthesized with the normal mRNA. In accordance with this observation, a very low but definite degree of L-gulono-γ-lactone oxidase activity was detected in the microsomes of the mutant rat by a newly developed, highly sensitive method.

    Notes: Summary Glycosaminoglycans isolated from culture medium conditioned by human endothelial cells showed heparin-like antithrombin III cofactor activity measured by Xa inhibition. Their activity was relatively weak, 0.1% of the potency of heparin, but was approximately 5-fold more potent than that of glycosaminoglycans derived from vascular smooth muscle cells.

    Notes: Abstract High-dose immunoglobulin (HD-Ig) therapy was given to an infant with autoimmune neutropenia (AIN), and antineutrophil autoantibodies (ANAA). The patient's absolute neutrophil count in peripheral blood increased from 300/ mm3 to 3000–4000/mm3 7 days after treatment. Although the neutrophil count gradually decreased thereafter, transient increases were observed after each single booster infusion repeated at 3-week intervals. By continuing this treatment, clinical symptoms were markedly alleviated, and the patient's susceptibility to infection was reduced. The increase in neutrophils showed a positive correlation with the increase in serum IgG, and with the increase in the ratio of T helper/T suppressor cells. The neutrophil-bound IgG level and serum lysozyme level were decreased after HD-Ig therapy.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé On propose deux méthodes pour déduire les paramètres cinétiques des thermogrammes dérivés. Elles reposent sur des formules cinétiques générales applicables aux réactions correspondant à une seule valeur d'énergie d'activation. L'une de ces méthodes utilise la relation linéaire entre la température du pic et la vitesse de chauffage pour estimer la valeur de l'énergie d'activation; seule la vitesse de conversion en fonction de la température nécessite d'être connue. L'autre méthode demande de connaître à la fois le taux et la vitesse de conversion en fonction de la température, et l'on effectue le tracé de l'équation d'Arrhénius pour le mécanisme cinétique supposé.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Zwei neue Methoden zur Ermittlung von kinetischen Parametern wurden auf Grund von derivierten Kurven vorgeschlagen. Die Verfahren benutzen allgemeine kinetische Formeln, die anwendbar sind für alle Reaktionstypen, welche von einer einzigen Aktivierungsenergie beherrscht sind. Die eine Methode bedient sich der linearen Beziehung zwischen Spitzentemperaturen und Aufheizraten zur Errechnung der Aktivierungsenergie, allein in Kenntnis der Umwandlungsgeschwindigkeit als Funktion der Zeit. Die andere Methode benötigt die Kenntnis des Umwandlungsgrades und der Umwandlungsgeschwindigkeit als Funktion der Temperatur und ermittelt die Arrhenius'sche Gleichung für den vorausgesetzten kinetischen Mechanismus.
    Notes: Abstract Two methods of obtaining kinetic parameters from derivative thermoanalytical curves are proposed. The methods are based on the general form of kinetic formulae and are applicable to general types of reactions governed by a single activation energy. One method utilizes the linear relation between peak temperature and heating rate in order to estimate the activation energy, and only the information of the rate of conversion versus the temperature is necessary. The other method needs the information of both the conversion and the rate of conversion versus the temperature, and the Arrhenius plot is made for an assumed kinetic mechanism.

    Notes: Abstract The conversion, the reduced rate of conversion dC/dΘ andΘ at the peak of derivative thermoanalytical curve of diffusion are estimated theoretically, solving the theoretical equation with an electronic digital computer. These values for chemical reactions including random degradation of polymers are also estimated and compared with those of diffusion. The conversion at the peak is utilized to elucidate preliminarily the mechanism of the process.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé On étudie la cinétique de diffusion en régime non isotherme, en étendant l'équation fondamentale de la diffusion aux cas non isothermes et l'on donne la solution de l'équation pour quelques cas typiques. A partir de ces considérations théoriques, on propose deux méthodes pour analyser les données thermoanalytiques de la diffusion. On applique l'une d'elles aux courbes AGE de stabilisation du toluène à partir des résines époxy traitées à l'éthylène diamine. Les constantes de diffusion obtenues en fonction de la température pour plusieurs vitesses d'échauffement sur deux échantillons en forme de plaquette sont en bon accord, de même que pour des échantillons pulvérulents.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die nicht-isotherme Kinetik der Diffusion wird abgeleitet, indem die Grundgleichung der Diffusion auf nicht-isotherme Fälle erweitert und für einige typische Fälle gelöst wird. Von diesen theoretischen Erwägungen ausgehend werden zwei Methoden zur Analyse thermoanalytischer Diffusionsangaben vorgeschlagen. Eine der Methoden wird für die EGA-Kurven der Verflüchtigung von Toluol aus mit Ethyländiamin behandeltem Epoxyharz angewandt. Die an zwei Platten-Arten verschiedener Dicke bei verschiedenen Aufheizgeschwindigkeiten als Funktion der Temperatur erhaltenen Diffusionskonstanten stimmen gut überein. Die an einer pulverförmigen Probe beobachtete Temperaturabhängigkeit der Diffusionskonstante ist ebenfalls in guter Übereinstimmung mit der an den zwei Plattenkörpern erhaltenen.
    Notes: Abstract Non-isothermal kinetics of diffusion are derived, extending the fundamental equation of diffusion to non-isothermal conditions, and the equation is solved for a few typical cases. From these theoretical considerations, two methods of analyzing thermoanalytical data of diffusion are proposed. One of the methods is applied to EGA curves of the volatilization of toluene from epoxy resin cured with ethylenediamine. The diffusion constants obtained as a function of temperature for two plate-specimens of different thicknesses at various heating rates are in good agreement with each other. The temperature dependence of the diffusion constant observed for a powdered sample is also in good agreement with those observed for the two plate-specimens.

    Notes: Abstract Using double-barreled Cl−-sensitive microelectrodes, intracellular Cl− activity (A Cl i ) in the mouse lacrimal acinar cells in vitro was determined in both resting and secretory phases. In the resting stateA Cl i was 31 mmol/l which was 1.4 times higher than that predicted for the passive distribution according to the membrane potential (V m) of −41 mV. Addition of acetylcholine (ACh, 1μM) hyperpolarizedV m to −63 mV and decreasedA Cl i to 20 mmol/l which was still twice the equilibrium activity. A-23178 produced similar changes inV m andA Cl i to those induced by ACh. It was concluded that Cl− was actively accumulated in the acinar cells and, in the secretory phase, Cl− efflux was enhanced by the increased driving force and Ca2+-mediated increase in the Cl− permeability across the cell membrane.

    Notes: Summary Intracellular pH (pH i ) of the acinar cells of the isolated, superfused mouse lacrimal gland has been measured using pH-sensitive microelectrodes. Under nonstimulated condition pH i was 7.25, which was about 0.5 unit higher than the equilibrium pH. Alterations of the external pH by ±0.4 unit shifted pH i only by ±0.08 unit. The intracellular buffering value determined by applications of 25mm NH 4 + and bicarbonate buffer solution gassed with 5% CO2/95% O2 was 26 and 46mm/pH, respectively Stimulation with 1 μm acetylcholine (ACh) caused a transient, small decrease and then a sustained increase in pH i . In the presence of amiloride (0.1mm) or the absence of Na+, application of ACh caused a significant decrease in pH i and removal of amiloride or replacement with Na+-containing saline, respectively, rapidly increased the pH i . Pretreatment with DIDS (0.2mm) did not change the pH i of the nonstimulated conditions; however, it significantly enhanced the increase in pH i induced by ACh. The present results showed that (i) there is an active acid extrusion mechanism that is stimulated by ACh; (ii) stimulation with ACh enhances the rate of acid production in the acinar cells; and (iii) the acid extrusion mechanism is inhibited by amiloride addition to and Na+ removal from the bath solution. We suggest that both Na+/H+ and HCO 3 − /Cl− exchange transport mechanisms are taking roles in the intracellular pH regulation in the lacrimal gland acinar cells.
