    Notizen: Abstract  Micturition in the decerebrate cat is characterized by a coordinated bladder contraction and a simultaneous decrease in external urethral sphincter (EUS) efferent activity. Without the suppression of EUS activity, voiding is significantly impaired, resulting in a state sometimes referred to as bladder-sphincter dyssynergia. The aim of the present study was to determine whether glycinergic inhibition contributes to the suppression of EUS activity during micturition evoked by bladder distension or electrical stimulation of the pontine micturition center (PMC) in decerebrate cats. Using subconvulsive intravenous doses of strychnine (0.1–0.24 mg/kg), we examined changes in bladder and EUS electroneurographic (ENG) activity during micturition. Following subconvulsive doses of strychnine, tonic EUS ENG activity increased during bladder filling in five of six animals. In the presence of strychnine, it was possible to evoke reflex bladder contractions of similar duration and peak pressure to those observed before strychnine administration. However, there was an absence of suppression of EUS ENG activity during the bladder contractions in all the animals. To determine whether the changes in sphincter activity could be due to strychnine acting at glycine receptors on EUS motoneurons, sacral spinal tissue was processed for a structural protein (gephyrin) associated with the glycine receptor. Motoneurons in Onuf′s nucleus in S1 were identified using choline acetyltransferase immunohistochemistry and subsequently processed with a gephyrin monoclonal antibody. Abundant gephyrin labeling was evident throughout Onuf′s nucleus. Since Onuf′s nucleus is made up of EUS and other motoneuron populations, a sample of antidromically identified urethral and anal sphincter motoneurons were intracellularly labeled with tetramethylrhodamine dextran (TMR-D) and then processed with the gephyrin antibody. Using dual-beam confocal microscopy, gephyrin immunoreactivity was observed on the soma and proximal processes of individual EUS motoneurons in both male and female animals. It was concluded that a strychnine-sensitive mechanism contributes to the suppression of sphincter activity normally observed during voiding. Although glycinergic inhibition may affect several components of the circuitry responsible for micturition, it appears that the suppression of EUS motoneurons during micturition may be partly due to a direct glycinergic inhibition of the EUS motoneurons.

    Notizen: Summary Hypercapnia induces initial constriction and prolonged relaxation of rat small mesenteric arteries. The mechanism of the relaxation is unknown, but has been attributed to lowering of pHi in the vascular smooth muscle. In this study we have investigated the response to raised PCO2 at constant pHo, in mesenteric small arteries precontracted with noradrenaline. 10% CO2 led to a fall in pHi associated with acute potentiation of tension, and subsequent relaxation. The relaxation did not occur in arteries in which the endothelium had been removed, nor in arteries pretreated with the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, L-NAME (10−4M, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester). The D-enantiomer, D-NAME, was without effect. We conclude that hypercapnic-induced vasodilatation in this circulation occurs via endothelium derived nitric oxide production.

    Notizen: Racemic leucine can be separated into d- and l-isomers by fractional extraction across microporous hollow fibers. In this extraction, an aqueous solution of the racemate is fed to the lumen of the fibers, and an octanol solution of dodecyl-l-hydroxyproline flows countercurrently outside of the fibers. The interface between feed and extractant is stabilized by filling the pores in the hollow-fiber walls with a cross-linked polyvinylalcohol gel which offers negligible resistance to mass transfer. The extraction with dodecyl-l-hydroxyproline deliberately imitates earlier studies, facilitating comparisons of hollow-fiber extraction with other techniques. The results show that the isomer yield per equipment volume of racemic separation is 100 times greater than that in a continuously rotating extractor, and 1,000 times greater than that in a conventional packed tower.

    Notizen: This article demonstrates that even 1% polydispersity in hollow-fiber diameters can increase plate heights by as much as an order of magnitude. The demonstration includes an analytical extension of the Taylor-Aris and the Golay dispersion theories, a numerical solution using the measured polydisperity, and successful predictions of the performance of different hollow-fiber systems over a range of flow rates. All these results show that the effect of polydispersity can dominate column performance, especially in the region where the column efficiency is optimal.

    Notizen: The concept of the drawing of a molecular network has been employed to derive a total network draw ratio from the combination of the two deformations occurring in the production of poly(butylene terephthalate), PBT, fibers by the consecutive processes of melt spinning and cold drawing. The mechanical properties of PBT can then be more readily explained in terms of increases in this total network draw ratio. However, the preorientation and crystallization that occurs in the melt-spinning process can occur at different strain rates and temperatures, depending on the wind up speed employed, on the extensional viscosity of the polymer, and on the variation of the extensional viscosity with temperature. Therefore, for polymers such as poly(butylene terephthalate), which can exist in two crystalline forms, the morphology of the final drawn fiber might be expected to depend on the first melt-spinning stage of the process as well as on the total network draw ratio. In this work, density, birefringence, mechanical measurements, and WAXD measurements, which have been made on the melt-spun fibers and on the drawn fibers, are described. Small differences in some of the drawn yarn mechanical properties at the same overall network draw ratio are related to the crystallinity and in particular to differences in the proportion of the α and β phases present in the drawn yarn. These in turn are related to differences in the temperature and stress during melt spinning and drawing. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2465-2481, 1997

    Notizen: Infrared spectroscopy has been used to provide an independent estimate of dipole orientation in poled films of a side-chain polymer based on poly(methyl methacrylate) with an oxynitrostilbene side group attached via an aliphatic spacer. In particular, we used the dichroism of the absorption band assigned to the NO2 symmetric stretching vibration as a measure of the orientation of the nitrostilbene group. This yields 〈P2(cos θ)〉, where θ is the angle between the transition dipole moment and the symmetry axis of the sample. We then used a Langevin-type model to calculate 〈cos θ〉 from 〈P2(cos θ)〉 and concluded that values of 〈cos θ〉 as high as 0.5 are being achieved. We find, however, that 〈P2(cos θ)〉 obtained by comparison of normal incidence measurements on unpoled and poled films does not agree with 〈P2(cos θ)〉 obtained from tilted-film measurements on poled films. We propose that this discrepancy arises because the local field in a poled sample affects the polarizability of the molecules. To confirm this, we applied high fields to unpoled films in the infrared spectrometer at room temperature. The results clearly show a large reduction in absorbance with the applied field when the infrared electric field vector has a component perpendicular to the plane of the film. A major error therefore occurs as a consequence of the internal field in poled samples if 〈P2(cos θ)〉 is derived from the tilted film measurements, whereas 〈P2(cos θ)〉 derived from normal incidence measurements is essentially correct. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
