    Notes: Summary To investigate the mechanism of Bacillus de Calmette Guérin (BCG) bladder instillation therapy, the killer cell activity induced in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) after BCG instillation was examined. Significant cytotoxic activity against natural killer (NK) cell resistant target tumor cells was detected after 3 days of instillation. To characterize this BCG induced cytotoxic activity further, human PBMNCs were cultured with BCG in vitro. From 24 h maximum cytotoxicity was obtained and continued for 3 days, then decreased slightly. Neither a DNA synthesis inhibitor Cytosine-arabinoside (Ara-C) nor a cytotoxic T cell (CTL) generation inhibitor Cyclosporine A inhibited this killer cell activation. Monoclonal antibody treatment revealed that both precursor and effector cells are Leu1-, 3a-, 7+, 11b+. The recognition specificity from cold target competition experiments was selective. Taken together NK type precursor was activated with BCG into NK type effector which has wider spectrum of target cells than usual NK cell.

    Notes: [Auszug] DNA from five independent NK cell lines, HY-1 (rf. 15), HY-3 (rf. 15), NKB61A2 (rf. 16), NKB61B10 (rf. 16) and B ALB/c N K (rf. 17), was examined for rearrangement of the genes coding for the 0-chain of the T-cell receptor. DNA was digested with six restriction enzymes (EcoRI, Pstl, Pvull, Hpal, ...

    Notes: Abstract Thermosensitive preoptic and septal (PO/SP) neurons were studied for their responsiveness to electrical stimulation of the dorsal Ammon's horn (DAH) and the ventral subiculum (VSB) of the hippocampal formation in the rat. DAH stimulation affected only 14 (16%) of 90 PO/SP thermosensitive neurons whereas VSB stimulation affected 77 (86%) units. The results suggests that the DAH has no major role in thermoregulation in the rat.

    Notes: Abstract Microelectrophoretic application of bombesin (BS) and neurotensin (NT) to thermosensitive and non-thermosensitive neurons in the preoptic and anterior hypothalamus (PO/AH) of anesthetized rats depressed the activity of 78 (54.2 %) of 144 neurons and that of 66 (51.6 %) of 128 neurons, respectively. The depressing effects of both peptides which were uniformly observed across warm-sensitive and cold-sensitive neurons in the PO/AH are consistent with their poikilothermic actions.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of local osmotic changes on the activity of preoptic thermosensitive neurons were investigated in rat hypothalamic slices in vitro. Thirty-seven (53%) of 70 neurons recorded from the medial preoptic nucleus (MPO) (66% of thermosensitive neurons and 12% of thermally insensitive neurons) changed their firing rates in response to alterations in local osmolality of less than 15 mOsm/kg. The minimum change in osmolality to produce the neuronal response for six neurons tested was found to be less than 5 mOsm/kg. Statistical analysis revealed that there was a higher incidence of warm-sensitive neurons inhibited by hyperosmolality (50% of warm-units) and of thermally insensitive neurons which were osmotically insensitive (88%). None of the four warm-sensitive neurons tested lost either their osmosensitivity or thermosensitivity during synaptic blockade, and were taken to possess an inherent sensitivity to both temperature and osmolality. The phenomenon of reduced evaporative heat loss in dehydrated mammals may be explained, at least in part, by the reduced activity of MPO warm-sensitive neurons in a hyperosmotic environment.

    Notes: The effect of oxygen- and Ar-plasma treatment on glassy polysulfone and polyimide films upon the gas diffusion process was investigated in the permeation of CO2 and H2. The plasma treatment apparently induced a reduction of only the diffusivity of Henry's law population, while the diffusion coefficient of the Langmuir population was not altered by plasma treatment. The oxygen- and Ar-plasma treatment on polysulfone films is favorable for permselectivity of H2 relative to CO2. Such a surface modification of polyimide films appears to be ineffective for improvement of permselectivity of H2.
