    Notes: Abstract Stimulation of the mesencephalic reticular formation facilitates responses in the visual cortex elicited from the optic radiation. Using intraveneous administration of cholinergic antagonists we investigated in adult cats and two kittens whether this effect is mediated by cholinergic mechanisms. When administered alone the muscarinic antagonists atropine and scopolamine and the nicotinic antagonist mecamylamine failed to block reticular facilitation and sometimes even enhanced the effects of reticular stimulation. However, when administered in combination muscarinic and nicotinic antagonists eliminated or significantly reduced the facilitation. This was even true when the two antagonists were administered with a time lag of several hours. These results support the notion that reticular facilitation of cortical responses is mediated by cholinergic mechanisms and suggest that this effect is mediated either by a receptor with a mixed pharmacological property or by two independent pathways acting via nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. This hypothesis is discussed in the context of recent evidence on cholinergic transmission and earlier data on the pharmacology of reticular arousal.

    Notes: Abstract Cholinergic afferents to the neocortex controlled by the mesencephalic reticular formation (MRF) are known to transiently facilitate cortical excitability. In an attempt to identify the pathway mediating this effect in the cat visual cortex we combined retrograde tracing techniques with immunocytochemical methods to visualize the acetylcholine-synthesizing enzyme choline acetyltransferase (ChAT). In addition we examined, in acute electrophysiological experiments, whether local neurotoxin injections into nuclei of the basal forebrain interfered with the reticular facilitation of cortical evoked potentials. Cholinergic projections to area 17 originate from different centers in the homolateral substantia innominata/internal capsule, the septal nuclei, and the nuclei of the diagonal band of Broca. No direct cholinergic projection from the MRF to the visual cortex was observed. Retrogradely labelled cells intermingled with ChAT-positive neurons in the brainstem generally revealed immunopositivity for catecholaminergic markers. Local injections of neurotoxins in the substantia innominata blocked reticular facilitation, whereas local lesions of the septal nuclei and the nuclei of the diagonal band had no effect on MRF-induced facilitation. The blockage of the reticular facilitation of cortical evoked responses after unilateral lesions of the substantia innominata was bilateral, suggesting a cooperative interaction between basal forebrain structures of the two hemispheres. The anatomical and physiological data are discussed with respect to possible mechanisms of transient brainstem influences on cortical excitability.

    Description / Table of Contents: Mechanical properties of cold-drawn and cast Grade 2 TitaniumThe static and dynamic properties of Grade 2 Titanium for dental applications are investigated. The typical casting procedures used in dental laboratories lead to a drastic deterioration of the mechanical properties compared to wrought material. This deterioration is caused by changes in microstructure and surface roughness. The experimental results are used to determine opportunities for improvements and their limits.
    Notes: In dieser Arbeit werden die statischen und dynamischen Eigenschaften von in der Zahntechnik verwendetem Titan Grad 2 untersucht. Es zeigt sich, daß die in zahntechnischen Laboratorien üblichen Herstellungsprozesse und Bearbeitungsschritte bei gegossenem Titan eine erhebliche Verschlechterung der Eigenschaften gegenüber kommerziell erhältlichen Ti-Halbzeugen bewirken. Diese Verschlechterung läßt sich auf Änderungen im Gefüge und der Oberflächenrauhigkeit zurückführen. Aus den Untersuchungsergebnissen werden Möglichkeiten und Grenzen für die Optimierung des Herstellungsprozesses für Zahnersatz aus Titan Grad 2 abgeleitet.

    Notes: Multiplicity of steady states of a continuous culture with an inhibitory substrate was used to estimate kinetic parameters under steady-state conditions. A continuous culture of Pseudomonas cepacia G4, using phenol as the sole source of carbon and energy, was overloaded by increasing the dilution rate above the critical dilution rate. The culture was then stabilized in the inhibitory branch by a proportional controller using the carbon dioxide concentration in the reactor exhaust gas as the controlled variable and the dilution rate as the manipulated variable. By variation of the set point, several unstable steady states in the inhibitory branch were investigated and the specific phenol conversion rates calculated. In addition, phenol degradation was investigated under substrate limitation (chemostat operation).The results show that the phenol degradation by P. cepacia can be described by the same set of inhibition parameters under substrate limitation and under high substrate concentrations in the inhibitory branch. Biomass yield and maintenance coefficients were identical. Fitting of the data to various inhibition models resulted in the best fit for the Yano and Koga equation. The well-known Haldane model, which is most often used to describe substrate inhibition by phenol, gave the poorest fit. The described method allows a precise data estimation under steady-state conditions from the maximum of the biological reaction rate up to high substrate concentrations in the inhibitory branch. Inhibition parameter estimation by controlling unstable steady states may thus be useful in avoiding discrepancies between data generated by batch runs and their application to continuous cultures which have been often described in the literature. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
