    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Nous donnons les résultats d'analyses chimiques, d'examens aux rayons infra-rouge, et d'examens par diffraction des rayons-X, des spicules de sept espèces des Éponges Calcaires avec aussi les valeurs de gravité spcéifique. Les spicules se composent de calcite et de magnésium. Nous avons découvert des traces de quartz, mais nous les attribuons à la contamination. Nous avons cherché l'aragonite, sans la trouver, bien que la présence du quartz en rende plus difficile la recherche. Le contenu de Mg2+ a varié de 1,25 à 3,15 pour cent d'une espèce à l'autre, s'élevant selon la grandeur des spicules dans les deux espèces que nous avons étudiées. Il était aussi en corrélation étroite avec le déplacement du sommet 112 de diffraction. Des composants présents en quantité moindre, et dont nous avons estimé le pourcentage, se trouvaient être Sr2+, Na+ et SO 4 2− . Sr2+ était relativement invariable, les deux autres étaient variables. Nous avons découvert aussi des traces de Al3+, Si, Mn2+, Ba2+ et Li+. Les valeurs de gravité spécifique s'échelonnaient de 2,58 à 2,62, les spicules plus petits fournissant la plus grande variation. Nous considérons la composition par rapport à la sécrétion de spicules et à la classification de la Calcarea.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Ergebnisse von chemischen, röntgenographischen und infraroten Analysen, zusammen mit Bestimmungen von spezifischem Gewicht, werden für die Nadeln von 7 species der Kalkschwämme dargestellt. Die Nadeln setzen sich zusammen aus magnesiahaltigem Calcit. Spuren von Quartz wurden nachgewiesen, die sich aber auf Verunreinigungen zurückführen lassen. Aragonit wurde gesucht, aber nicht gefunden, obgleich die Anwesenheit von Quartz seine Feststellung erschwert. Der Mg2+-Inhalt variierte von 1,25–3,15% zwischen den Species, und nahm mit wachsender Nadelgröße bei den beiden untersuchten Species zu; es gibt auch enge Wechselbeziehungen zur Absetzung der Calcit-112-Diffraktionsspitze. Es gibt vermutlich geringere Mengen von Sr2+, Na+, und SO 4 2− . Sr2+ war relative beständig, die anderen zwei veränderlich. Spuren von Al3+, Si, Mn2+, Ba2+ und Li+ wurden auch nachgewiesen. Die durchschnittlichen spezifischen Gewichte veränderten sich von 2,58–2,62, und kleinere Nadeln variieren stärker. Die Zusammensetzung wird mit Hinsicht auf die Ausscheidung der Nadeln und die Klassenordnung der Kalkschwämme betrachtet.
    Notes: Abstract The results of chemical, X-ray diffraction and infra-red analyses, together with specific gravity determinations, are presented for the spicules of seven species of Calcarea. The spicules are composed of magnesian calcite. Traces of quartz were detected, but are ascribed to contamination. Aragonite was sought but not proven, although the presence of quartz complicates its detection. The Mg content varied from 1.25–3.15% between species, and increased with spicule size in the two species studied; it also correlated closely with the displacement of the calcite 112 diffraction peak. Minor constituents estimated were Sr2+, Na+ and SO 4 2− :Sr2+ was relatively constant, the other two variable. Traces of Al3+, Si, Mn2+ and Li+ were also detected. Average specific gravities ranged from 2.58–2.62, smaller spicules having a wider range Composition is considered in relation to spicule secretion and classification of the Calcarea.

    Notes: Summary Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients and control subjects of Afro-Caribbean Negroid racial origin were investigated by serological HLA-DR-typing and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis using DNA probes corresponding to the DQα, DQβ and DRβ chain genes. Combined analysis indicated that four DR antigens are positively associated with the condition in Negroid subjects — DR3, 4, 7 and w9. DR3 and 4 are also associated in Caucasians, but the relative risk for DR3 is lower in Negroid subjects. The DR7 association is specific for the Negroid race, and DRw9 is only weakly associated in Caucasoid subjects. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis demonstrated a DQβ restriction pattern in Negroid subjects which is absent from Caucasoid subjects. This pattern was associated with DRw9 and a subset of DR7, and was markedly increased in frequency in diabetic patients compared with control subjects (48.7% vs 10.4%, respectively; P〈10−4). In the absence of this pattern, DR7 showed no positive association. DR3 in Negroid subjects was associated with two distinct DQα-DQβ patterns, only one of which was positively associated with diabetes. A DQβ pattern, in linkage disequilibrium with different DR antigens in different races, conferred a consistent protective effect against the development of Type 1 diabetes. Trans-racial genetic analysis thus supports a primary role for DQ in susceptibility to Type 1 diabetes.

    Notes: Summary Trans-racial analysis of disease associations has improved mapping of MHC-linked susceptibility to Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. In this study the contributions of the MHC class II DQA1 and DQB1 genes were investigated. Sequence-specific oligonucleotide gene probing in Type 1 diabetic and control subjects of North Indian origin supported the DQw1.18 allele of the DQB1 gene as a determinant of inherited protection against Type 1 diabetes (RR=0.12, p c〈0.05). The A3 allele of the DQA1 gene was positively associated with the disease, (RR=3.6, p c〈0.05), as was the DQw2 allele of the DQB1 gene (RR=4.6, p c〈0.01). Trans-racial comparison of these disease associations indicates that DQ alleles may directly determine an element of inherited susceptibility to Type 1 diabetes.

    Notes: Abstract This study examined the effect of end-point cadence on the parameters of the work-time relationship determined for cycle ergometry. Eight male subjects completed four maximal tests on an electrically-braked cycle ergometer that regulated a constant power output independent of cadence. The power outputs imposed ranged between an average of 259 W and 403 W, whereas the corresponding durations ranged between 139 s and 1691 s. During each test subjects were required to maintain a cadence of 80–90 rpm. Accumulated time to end-point cadences of 70, 60 and 50 rpm were recorded. The four work-time determinations for each of three end-point cadences were used to determine linear relationships between work and time, yielding both a y-intercept, which represents anaerobic work capacity, and a slope, which is termed critical power (CP), for each end-point cadence. There was a significant increase in the y-intercept as end-point cadence decreased from 70 to 60 rpm (F[1,7]=36.7, p 〈 0.001) or 70 to 50 rpm (F[1,7]=80.1, p 〈 0.001), but not from 60 rpm to 50 rpm (F[1,7]=3.28, p 〉 0.05). In contrast, there was no effect of end-point cadence on CP (F[2,14]=1.89, p 〈 0.05). These results demonstrate that the end-point cadence selected to terminate tests only affects the y-intercept of the work-time relationship. To control for this effect, the cadence at which each test is terminated should be standardised if determination of anaerobic work capacity, as represented by the y-intercept, is required.
