    Notes: Summary Human normal dura mater containing arachnoid villi were examined for their expression of glutathione S-transferase placental type (GST-π), a detoxifying enzyme, using an immunohistochemical method. All of the arachnoid villi and arachnoid cells in five normal cases were found to have expression of GST-π, although no positive reaction for the enzyme was present in other tissues of the dura mater. The results show a possible role for arachnoid tissues in protecting human brain from hazardous xenobiotics in the cerebrospinal fluid. Twenty-six meningiomas were also examined for expression of the enzyme. Tissues of meningotheliomatous meningiomas were always positive for expression of the enzyme. Transitional meningiomas also showed the expression in their meningotheliomatous components. No staining reaction of GST-π was recognized in fibroblastic meningiomas except for two cases with a tendency to meningotheliomatous differentiation. The findings suggest a functional similarity between the arachnoid tissues and meningotheliomatous components of meningiomas.

    Notes: Abstract Chaotic behaviors of the tent map (a piecewise-linear, continuous map with a unique maximum) are studied analytically throughout its chaotic region in terms of the invariant density and the power spectrum. As the height of the maximum is lowered, successive band-splitting transitions occur in the chaotic region and accumulate to the transition point into the nonchaotic region. The timecorrelation function of nonperiodic orbits and their power spectrum are calculated exactly at the band-splitting points and in the vicinity of these points. The method of eigenvalue problems of the Frobenius-Perron operator is used. 2 m−1 critical modes, wherem = 1,2, 3, ..., are found which exhibit the critical slowing-down near the 2 m−1-band to 2 m -band transition point. After the transition these modes become periodic modes which represent the cycling of nonperiodic orbits among 2 m bands together with the periodic modes generated by the preceding band splittings. Scaling laws near the transition point into the nonchaotic region are investigated and a new scaling law is found for the total intensity of the periodic part of the spectrum.

    Notes: Summary An autopsy case is reported which revealed not only clinical and neuropathological features of progressive supranuclear palsy, but also the presence of large numbers of Lewy bodies in the brain stem nuclei and cerebral cortex. This case seems to be progressive supranuclear palsy with Lewy bodies distributed as in Parkinson's disease. Such case has not been previously reported.

    Notes: Summary Seven cases of senile dementia of Alzheimer type (SDAT) with unusual clinico-pathological findings are reported. The patients showed neuronal loss in laminar pattern, with gliosis exclusively confined to the CA1 of the hippocampus, the area of the hippocampal gyrus (entorhinal cortex) and medial occipitotemporal cortex. This change was more pronounced in the oral region. The subcortical white matter showed more pronounced fibrillary gliosis than loss of myelin. Both Alzheimer's neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques were less marked than those usually seen in SDAT. The mental disturbance started after the age of 65 in all patients. The main clinical feature was marked character change in addition to disturbance of cognitive function. Cranial computed tomography showed marked dilatation of the oral portion of the inferior horn of the lateral ventricle in the early stage. It was apparent that although the cases in this group could be incorporated within in the spectrum of SDAT, they could also be considered to represent a variant of SDAT. This group could contribute to an understanding of the clinico-pathological spectrum of SDAT as well as indicating ways of managing such patients.

    Notes: Summary The nature of Lewy bodies (LBs) in the brain stem and cerebral cortex in five cases of diffuse Lewy body disease and one case of Parkinson's disease with dementia were investigated immunocytochemically with various antibodies to cytoskeletal proteins, paired helical filaments (PHF) and ubiquitin. Antibodies to 200-kDa component of neurofilament, tau and PHF showed no significant reactions with most of LBs. Antibodies to high-molecular weight microtubule-associated proteins (HMWMAPs) moderately stained the periphery of a few of LBs. A monoclonal antibody to PHF (DF2) which recognizes ubiquitin, and polyclonal antibodies to ubiquitin immunostained virtually all of the typical and cortical LBs as intensely as Alzheimer's neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaque neurites: the periphery of LBs was darkly stained, whereas the central core of typical LBs and central zone of cortical LBs were less intensely stained or remained unstained. Immunoelectron microscopy of the LBs with DF2 revealed that immune reaction products were located on the filaments exclusively in the periphery of LBs, but not on those in the center. These findings suggest that both types of LBs are immunocytochemically indistinguishable despite some structural differences, and that peripherally located filaments in LBs are tagged with ubiquitin, an element required for the ATP-dependent proteolysis system in the cell. Antibodies to ubiquitin are the most useful marker of LBs ever known.

    Notes: Summary The effect of dibutyryladenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphate (dibutyryl cAMP) on the expression of glutathione S-transferase placental type (GST-P) was examined in rat glioma cell line using an immunohistochemical technique. Cultured T9 glioma cells were negative for GST-P activity under normal conditions. However, treatment with 1 mM dibutyryl cAMP produced GST-P expression in about 50% of the cells, as well as some morphological changes. The expression of GST-P was increased with addition of dibutyryl cAMP together with 1 μg/ml allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) or 0.1 μg/ml benzyl isothiocyanate (BITC). With these combinated treatments, almost all cultured cells showed a strong positive reaction for GST-P, although AITC or BITC alone elicited GST-P in only 5% of the cultured cells. The results of the present study indicate that dibutyryl cAMP causes functional as well as morphological differentiation of T9 glioma cells.

    Notes: Summary. Cerebral β-amyloid occurs in elderly animals of some species and in Alzheimer's disease. Previously, we injected 3 young marmosets intracerebrally with brain tissue from a patient with Alzheimer's disease. Six years later, when the monkeys were middle aged, we found moderate numbers of intracerebral plaques and cerebrovascular deposits containing β-amyloid. We have re-examined these brains and those of 10 other marmosets injected with brain homogenate containing β-amyloid, and have found some β-amyloid in animals injected more than 4 years previously. We have found β-amyloid in 4 of 26 elderly control marmosets, but not in 9 young to middle-aged control marmosets. The β-amyloid found in middle aged marmosets injected with Alzheimer brain tissue was, therefore, not a consequence of their age. Deposits in large cerebral vessels in elderly marmosets, and in marmosets previously injected with brain tissue containing β-amyloid, reacted with antibodies to Aβ and Aβ1-40; plaques and microvessel deposits reacted with antibodies to Aβ and Aβ1-42.

    Notes: Abstract Successive band-splitting transitions occur in the one-dimensional map xi+1=g(xi),i=0, 1, 2,... withg(x)=αx, (0 ⩽x ⩽ 1/2) −αx +α, (1/2 〈x ⩽ 1) as the parameterα is changed from 2 to 1. The transition point fromN (=2n) bands to 2Nbands is given byα=(√2)1/N (n=0, 1,2,...). The time-correlation functionξ i=〈δxiδx0〉/〈(δx0)2,δxi≡ xi−〈xi〉 is studied in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Frobenius-Perron operator of the map. It is shown that, near the transition pointα=√2,ξ i−[(10−4√2)/17] δi,0-[(10√2-8)/51]δi,1 + [(7 + 4√2)/17](−1)ie−yi, whereγ≡√2(α−√2) is the damping constant and vanishes atα=√2, representing the critical slowing-down. This critical phenomenon is in strong contrast to the topologically invariant quantities, such as the Lyapunov exponent, which do not exhibit any anomaly atα=√2. The asymptotic expression forξ i has been obtained by deriving an analytic form ofξ i for a sequence ofα which accumulates to √2 from the above. Near the transition pointα=(√2)1/N, the damping constant ofξ i fori ⩾N is given byγ N=√2(αN-√2)/N. Numerical calculation is also carried out for arbitrary a and is shown to be consistent with the analytic results.

    Notes: Abstract The alloying behavior of antimony atoms into nm-sized indium clusters has been studied in situ by TEM. When antimony atoms are vapor-deposited onto nm-sized indium clusters, a rapid dissolution of antimony atoms into indium clusters takes place and as a result InSb compound clusters are successfully formed. Such spontaneous alloying occurs even at ambient temperature. InSb clusters thus formed have the wurtzite structure. When these InSb clusters are annealed at 533 K, their structure changes into the sphalerite structure, which is the structure of the equilibrium phase of the bulk In50Sb50. The appearance of wurtzite-type InSb by spontaneous alloying is discussed in terms of ionicity of bonds in InSb.

    Notes: Abstract Cluster-size dependence of alloying behavior in nm-sized atom clusters has been studied by transmission electron microscopy, using clusters in the Au-Cu system. It was revealed that occurrence of rapid spontaneous alloying becomes more difficult with increasing cluster size. In gold clusters of approximately 4 nm in the mean size, a rapid dissolution of copper atoms took place and homogeneously mixed Au-Cu alloy clusters were formed. In gold clusters of approximately 10 nm in the mean size, rapid alloying of copper took place only at a shell-shaped region beneath the free surface of individual clusters and pure gold was retained at the central region of clusters. In gold clusters of approximately 30 nm in the mean size, no rapid alloying of copper was induced. The ease with which spontaneous alloying takes place is discussed in terms of the lattice softening in atom clusters.
