    Notes: Abstract The effects of chlordiazepoxide (Librium) on the intensity and habituation of the threat display in male Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) was evaluated by exposing each subject to a male conspecific eliciting stimulus. In an independent groups design, the subjects were tested in either plain tap water, or a drug solution of 15 Μg/ml or 30 Μg/ml. Chlordiazepoxide attenuated threat behavior and facilitated habituation of the display without inducing noticeable sedation. The results were evaluated in term of a sdual-process theory of habituation involving independent hypothetical processes of sensitization and habituation which produce the net observed habituation.

    Notes: Abstract Two experiments were undertaken to determine the effects of chlordiazepoxide on intraspecific attack behavior and selected non-aggressive behaviors in male Siamese fighting fish. In Exp. 1, pairs of fish fought while immersed in either 15 Μg/ml or 30 Μg/ml of chlordiazepoxide, or plain water. The drug groups showed significantly less attack (e.g., biting, jawlocking) than the control group, without noticeable behavioral toxicity. Also, in the drug groups alone, some variants of the copulatory clasp, seen in normal mating, occurred in many pairs. In Exp. 2, individual fish were isolated in one of the same doses or plain water for a period equivalent to that of Exp. 1. These doses produced no changes in measures of arousal, locomotion, and feeding behavior, as compared to the control condition. The drugrelated appearance of the intermale mating-like behavior is discussed in terms of a theoretical formulation postulating a mutually inhibitory relationship between sex and aggression in fish.

    Notes: Abstract An experiment was undertaken to determine the effects of pentobarbital sodium on intraspecific attack behavior in male Siamese fighting fish in an attempt to extend earlier findings with chlordiazepoxide and secobarbital sodium. Pairs of fish fought while immersed in 20 μg/ml or 40 μg/ml pentobarbital sodium or plain water. The 40 μg/ml group showed significantly less attack (e.g., biting, jaw locking) than either control or low dose groups without producing a change in general arousal. Quasisexual behavior, seen in an earlier chlordiazepoxide study, did not occur in the present study.

    Notes: Oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis has been used to replace α-helical glycines in the N-terminal domain of λ repressor with alanines. Since alanine is a significantly better helix-forming residue than glycine, these changes were predicted to have a stabilizing effect. We show that the Gly46→Ala substitution, the Gly48→Ala substitution, and the double substitution increase the melting temperature of the N-terminal domain by 3-6°.

    Notes: Wholly aromatic liquid crystalline main chain polyesters derived from terephthalic acid, phenyl- or (1-phenylethyl)hydroquinone modified with either 3,4′- or 4,4′-dicarboxydiphenylether and p-hydroxybenzoic acid, have been prepared by acidolysis and thermally investigated. All prepared polyesters exhibit excellent thermal stability up to about 400°C, however, the (1-phenylethyl)hydroquinone polyesters generally showed lower stability. Melting points could be decreased to around 200°C without any decrease in the thermal stability or the nematic range.

    Notes: The surface compositions of various polymeric films, grown electrochemically on platinum foils, have been investigated by energy-dispersive x-ray analysis in conjunction with scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS). Comparison of the relative area ratios of peaks for the C and N Kemission lines show that the EDS may be used to study the surface composition of polymers. The evidence presented strongly suggests that there is limited structural degradation and the elemental composition is not changed under the electron beam at relatively low accelerating voltages. This technique statistically samples the repeat units of the polymer. For samples grown in both aqueous and nonaqueous solutions. SEM/EDS provides evidence for extensive contamination with oxygen.

    Comparison of the antibody response to bee venom phospholipase A2 induced by natural exposure in humans or by immunization in mice (1997)

    Notes: Two human and twelve murine monoclonal antibodies directed against the main bee venom allergen phospholipase A2 (PLA) were evaluated for their fine specificity of binding to antigen and their ability to inhibit the enzymatic activity of the antigen. Antibodies were induced by natural exposure of beekeepers to bee venom or immunization of mice via different methods. Both human monoclonal antibodies (hmAbs) were previously shown to recognize the native three-dimensional conformation of PLA and are directed against discontinuous epitopes which include lysine residue at position 25 as a contact residue. In contrast, six of the murine monoclonal antibodies (mmAbs) bind to the denatured structure of the protein as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The epitopes recognized are located near the C-terminal end (n=8), in the centre of the polypeptide (n=1), near the N-terminal end (n=1) or include the carbohydrate part (n=2) of the PLA molecule. The capacity of the antibodies to modify the enzymatic activity was also determined. The hmAbs significantly inhibit the enzyme (70-79%), whereas the mmAbs produced various degrees of inhibition (39-100%). Since the X-ray structure of PLA is known, the epitopes can be visualized in the context of the three-dimensional structure of the antigen. A qualitative correlation was found between the location of epitopes and the inhibition pattern. Strong inhibition was seen with those antibodies that recognize epitopes that lie on the surface of the enzyme that is thought to contact the phospholipid bilayer. The results show that even though both hmAbs and most mmAbs inhibit the enzymatic activity of PLA, the antigen-binding properties of antibodies from different species raised after different routes of immunization differ significantly. Thus, detailed epitope mapping studies using murine antibodies prepared by artificial immunization may have limited value in predicting epitope patterns relevant to an antibody response to allergens in humans naturally exposed to antigen/allergen. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Octafluorotoluene as a derivatizing agent for steroids in human plasma (1988)

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: The use of octafluorotoluene (OFT) as a versatile gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric derivatizing agent for steroids containing alcoholic, phenolic or α,β-unsaturated keto functions, is described. Two distinct derivatizing schemes can be utilized, involving (method 1) a phase-transfer reaction, employing a two-phase system of CH2Cl2 and N NaOH with n-Bu4NHSO4 as catalyst (suitable for alcoholic and phenolic steroids) and (method 2) a reaction conducted in anhydrous dimethylformamide at 155°C with CsF as base (appropriate for α,β-unsaturated keto steroids). Perfluorotolyl (PFT) ethers and/or enol ethers have thus been generated. The electron impact spectra display abundant high-mass molecular ions where derivatization has occurred at a phenolic or enolic function. An extraction, derivatization and gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric scheme has been devised involving method 2 for the analysis of steroids in human plasma. A preliminary quantitative investigation of the levels of testosterone in plasma has been carried out employing these methods. The anomalously high level found is explained in terms of the presence in plasma of lipid-soluble derivatives of testosterone (probably fatty acid esters) which generate the testosterone bis-OFT derivative under the reaction conditions employed.

    Notes: Mass spectra of mercapturic acid conjugates of two xenobiotic products of lipid peroxidation (trans-4-hydroxy-2-hexenal and trans-4-hydroxy-2-nonenal) as well as conjugates of 1,3-dichloropropene, styrene oxide, 1,2-naphthalene oxide and α-chlorotoluene were obtained using fast atom bombardment or negative chemical ionization. Fragmentation pathways were investigated using linked scan and mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometric techniques. Characteristics of the spectra obtained using different ionization and sample introduction techniques are compared. Deprotonated molecular ions of mercapturic acids gave simple daughter ion spectra, with the dominant mode of decomposition involving cleavage of C—S bonds giving a characteristic neutral loss of 129 Da Screening for mercapturates in urine samples was performed using neutral loss scanning and yielded limits of detection in the low nanogram per milliliter range. Quantitative analysis of the S-benzyl mercapturic acid at 1 p.p.b. in urine has been demonstrated using combined gas chromatography/electron capture mass spectrometry with d3-S-benzyl mercapturic acid as internal standard.
