    Notes: Summary We measured the concentrations of total (conjugated and unconjugated) monoamines (dopamine, DA; norepinephrine, NE) and monoamine metabolites (homovanillic acid, HVA; 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyleneglycol, MHPG; 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, 5-HIAA) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), using HPLC-ECD in 11 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or senile dementia of the Alzheimer type (SDAT), 17 patients with vascular dementia of the Binswanger type (VDBT), and 15 controls. In AD/SDAT, there was a significant decrease in the DA concentration and a significant increase in the MHPG concentration. The average NE concentration was not altered, but significantly increased with the progression of intellectual disability. There were no significant changes in HVA and 5-HIAA concentrations. Patients with VDBT showed a significant increase in the DA concentration and a significant decrease in HVA and 5-HIAA concentrations. The DA concentrations increased significantly with the progression of dementia and ventricular enlargement. These results indicate that the noradrenergic and dopaminergic system in particular are altered in AD/SDAT, while the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems are mainly involved in VDBT.

    Notes: Solvent effects on the wavenumber of the maximum of the longest wavelength electronic absorption band of all-trans-β-carotene were determined in 34 solvents. Together with results from previous studies, a data set for 51 solvents, mostly non-hydrogen bond donors, was constructed. This information was analyzed in terms of reaction field models and also showed its value for correlation purposes when used either alone or in combination with standard empirical solvent polarity-polarizability scales. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: Films of alicyclic polyamic acid and polyimide containing cyclobutane ring in dianhydride moiety and aromatic ring with p- or m-linkages in diamine moiety were characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, dynamic viscoelasticity, differential-scanning calorimetry (DSC), density, and wide-angle X-ray diffraction analyses. Partially and fully imidized polyimides were obtained by varying the imidization temperature, e.g., 150°C, 250°C, and 350°C. It was found from the results of IR spectra, dynamic viscoelasticity, and DSC measurements that the imidization of alicyclic polyamic acid was reduced at about 150°C and needed a higher imidization temperature than aromatic polyamic acid. Alicyclic polyimide with m-linkage in the diamine moiety had a higher density and a much more ordered structure than with p-linkage. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Summary The concentration of catecholamines and indoleamines in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with vascular parkinsonism (VP) was compared to that in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and controls. Compared to the controls, the concentration of tyrosine was significantly higher, and the concentration of L-dopa and 3-O-methyldopa (3-OMD) was significantly lower in both VP and PD patients. The balance between the 3-OMD/L-dopa and dopamine (DA)/L-dopa ratios was changed in favor of 3-OMD/L-dopa in both VP patients and PD patients suggesting the preservation of a compensatory mechanism. All these changes were less marked in VP patients than in PD patients. A remarkable finding was that in contrast to PD patients the concentration of DA and norepinephrine (NE) was significantly higher in VP patients than in the controls. The decrease in the concentration of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) was significantly greater in VP patients than in PD patients. In PD patients, the concentration of DA, NE, and 5-HT showed significant correlation with the severity of motor symptoms. In VP patients, the concentration of 5-HT alone showed significant correlation with the severity of motor symptoms and cognitive dysfunction. These findings suggest that VP patients may have similar disturbances in the DA synthesis pathway as PD patients, but differ from PD patients in that the concentrations of DA and NE are elevated and the decrease in the 5-HT concentration is greater in VP patients.
