    Notes: Summary Two cases with huge dumbbell type jugular foramen meningioma with extension into the parapharyngeal space are reported. A well co-ordinated surgical strategy for total resection to this high risk tumour with neurosurgeons, otolaryngologists and plastic surgeons is mandatory to minimise operative complications. Both of our patients presented with a cervical mass and lower cranial nerve palsies, and had huge dumbbell type masses extending from the posterior cranial fossa through the jugular foramen to the parapharyngeal space, encasing the cervical internal carotid artery. Gross total resection of the tumours was successfully achieved by basically a 2-stage operation. In the first stage, posterior fossa tumours were removed by the transjugular approach, combined with the petrosal approach in one case. In the second stage, cervical tumours were removed along with the cervical carotid artery by the transcervical and/or transmandibular approach, followed by vascular reconstruction from the ipsilateral carotid artery to the middle cerebral artery using saphenous vein graft. From these experiences, we recommend this 2-stage operation for large dumbbell type meningiomas extending to the infratemporal/parapharyngeal space. The intracranial tumour is removed at the first operation. The extracranial portion is resected at the second, and if necessary, the involved cervical carotid artery is resected and simultaneous revascularisation using saphenous vein graft is performed with a vascularised free muscle graft. This strategy could maximise the functional preservation on the one hand, and minimise the surgical risk, such as postoperative infection, on the other.

    Notes: Abstract The kinetics of binding of Cu (II), Tb (III) and Fe(III) to ovotransferrin have been investigated using the stopped-flow technique. Rate constants for the second-order reaction, k +, were determined by monitoring the absorbance change upon formation of the metal-transferrin complex in time range of milliseconds to seconds. The N and C sites appeared to bind a particular metal ion with the same rate; thus, average formation rate constants k + (average) were 2.4 × 104 M−1 s−1 and 8.3 × 104 M−1 S −1 for Cu (II) and Tb (III) respectively. Site preference (N site for Cu (II) and C site for Tb (III)) is then mainly due to the difference in dissociation rate constant for the metals. Fe (III) binding from Fe-nitrilotriacetate complex to apo-ovotransferrin was found to be more rapid, giving an average formation rate constant k + (average) of 5 × 105 M−1 s−1, which was followed by a slow increase in absorbance at 465 nm. This slow process has an apparent rate constant in the range 3 s−1 to 0.5 s−1, depending upon the degree of Fe (III) saturation. The variation in the rate of the second phase is thought to reflect the difference in the rate of a conformational change for monoferric and diferric ovotransferrins. Monoferric ovotransferrin changes its conformation more rapidly (3.4s−1) than diferric ovotransferrin (0.52 s−1). A further absorbance decrease was observed over a period of several minutes; this could be assigned to release of NTA from the complex, as suggested by Honda et al. (1980).

    Notes: Many styrylpyridinium compounds (SPC), which are very stable in the dark, were prepared and evaluated as photobleachable dyes for contrast enhanced lithography (CEL). The photobleaching characteristics of water-soluble contrast enhancing materials composed of SPC and water-soluble polymer depend on the structure of the SPC and the kind of polymers used. The technique using SPC-based CEL proved to be very effective for the resist pattern profiles.

    Notes: A series of p-dimethylaminobenzylidene derivatives was able to sensitize the photodecomposition of diphenyliodonium salt to afford highly photosensitive negative-type resins. When a polymer-bearing methacryloylated group in the side chain was sensitized with a combination of the p-dimethylaminobenzylidene compounds and the iodonium salt, the polymer demonstrated high sensitivity even to 488 nm light emitted from an Argon laser. The same photoinitiator systems were applicable to insolubilize poly(glycidyl methacrylate) through cationic photopolymerization. The storage stability of these types of photoinitiators depends on the structure of the benzylidene compounds; decreasing the basicity of the amino group enhanced the thermal stability.
