    Notes: Abstract  The role of nitric oxide in the pathogenesis of glomerular thrombotic microangiopathy was explored using an established rat model in which ricin with or without lipopolysaccharide induced glomerular thrombosis. Ricin alone caused a small rise in the plasma concentration of nitric oxide (control 9.2±0.7 µM, ricin 23.3±6.3 µM at 7 h). This increase occurred after the development of glomerular thrombosis. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity in the kidney showed no significant change from control values (control 5.66±2.7 pmol/min per ml homogenate, ricin 7.52±1.8 pmol/min per ml homogenate, total activity). When ricin and lipopolysaccharide were administered together, calcium-independent NOS activity increased whereas calcium-dependent activity decreased (1.22±2.6 pmol/min per ml homogenate). The increase in calcium-independent NOS activity correlated with a high plasma concentration of interleukin-1β in the ricin plus lipopolysaccharide group (4,036.83±1,001.5 pg/ml). These data indicate that thrombus formation in a rat model of haemolytic uraemic syndrome is independent of the effects of nitric oxide.

    Notes: Abstract.  Autopsy material was examined from British children dying early in the course of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS). These presented after 1983, the period in which verocytotoxin-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) infection was confirmed as the leading cause of diarrhoea-associated (D+HUS) in the United Kingdom. Of 18 cases referred for this study, 3 were found on review to have no history of a diarrhoeal prodrome (D-HUS). In the D+ patients, the median duration from onset of diarrhoea to death was 8 days (range 4–42 days). VTEC infection was confirmed in 6 cases. All had neutrophilia at presentation (median 21, range 15–49.8 × 109/l). The 15 cases had uniform pathological features, consisting of glomerular thromboses and congested rather than ischaemic glomeruli. Arteriolar thromboses were common at the hilum of glomeruli and were sometimes also seen proximally, including in interlobular arteries. There were cortical infarcts in 5 cases with extensive thrombosis. Cases were demonstrated to have significantly greater numbers of neutrophils expressed per 100 glomeruli than controls, when counted using immunohistological stains to neutrophil elastase and CD15. This study showed uniformity of the renal changes in D+ HUS and gave further evidence of the importance of neutrophils in the pathogenesis of the disease.

    Notes: Abstract Diagnostic accuracy in acute leukemia (AL) can be improved if traditional morphology and cytochemistry are supplemented with immunophenotypic and genotypic analyses. This multiparameter approach is of crucial importance for the management of patients, as it enables the identification of leukemic syndromes with distinct biological features and response to treatment. Immunophenotyping using monoclonal antibodies has been universally accepted as a useful adjunct to morphological criteria. This technique is particularly valuable in diagnosing and subclassifying acute lymphoblastic leukemia and is also essential in certain types of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), such as AML with minimal differentiation or acute megakaryoblastic leukemia. Cytogenetic findings can be quite helpful in establishing the correct diagnosis and can add information of prognostic significance. A number of specific chromosomal abnormalities have been recognized that are very closely, and sometimes uniquely, associated with morphologically and clinically distinct subsets of leukemia. An even more basic understanding of normal and malignant hematopoietic cells has begun to evolve as molecular biology begins to unravel gene misprogramming by Southern and Northern blot analysis, the polymerase chain reaction, and fluorescence in situ hybridization. With the extensive use of these techniques it has become apparent that a proportion of leukemias exhibit the biologically relevant molecular defect in the absence of a karyotypic equivalent. On the other hand, apparently uniform chromosomal abnormalities such as the t(1;19) (q23;p13), t(9;22) (q33;q11), t(8;14) (q24;q32), or t(15;17) (q21;q21) may differ at the molecular level. Data collected from these modern technologies have introduced a greater complexity, which needs to be taken into consideration to improve both the diagnostic precision and the reproducibility of current classifications.

    Notes: Four novel symmetric tri-n-alkyltin fluorides were prepared. In this homologous series, melting point decreases with increase in the carbon chain length while an x-ray diffraction study shows an increase in amorphousness. 1H-NMR spectra in cyclohexane, a nonpolar solvent in which these compounds form long polymeric chain, show a peak broadening effect due to high solution viscosity at very low solute concentration. Contrary to this, the spectra in CDCl3, a polar solvent in which these compounds are monomeric, show well resolved and narrow peaks. IR frequencies for Sn—C vibrations have been assigned.

    Notes: Copolymers of styrene-methyl methacrylate were irradiated in vacuo with γ-rays; viscosity changes and gas yields (moles gas per mole methyl methacrylate in copolymer) for H2, CO, CO2, CH4, HCOOCH3, and CH3OH were examined at doses of 1.0 Mrep to 10.0 Mrep. It was found that styrene molecules protect the copolymer from degrading while decreasing the gas yields up to a styrene concentration of about 0.5 mole fraction; above this concentration, these radiation effects are independent of composition. When styrene-methyl acrylate copolymers were irradiated, styrene offered protection aganist gelation but simultaneously increased the gas yields (gases liberated were identical with those from the first system).

    Notes: It is sometimes convenient to express a numerical algorithm in terms of a network model. The physical picture given can often help the engineer to visualize the properties of the method. In field problems, a lumped network model corresponds to a space discrete field while a transmission-line model corresponds to a field which is discrete in space and time. In this paper, the relationship is given between the lumped network models and transmission-line network models used in the steady-state solution of Maxwell's equations in two and three space dimensions. The use of dual networks is also discussed. An analysis is given for the velocity of waves travelling in any direction across the networks and this is used to compare the accuracy of the models. The use of diakoptics or substructures for the solution of large networks is outlined and this is illustrated by a compound two-dimensional example.

    Notes: Heat transfer associated with forced convection between bundles of cylindrical fuel rods is analysed using the finite element method. A subchannel technique is employed and the numerical results are compared with previous experimental and numerical values. The solid and fluid zones are analysed, for temperature distribution, as a single domain.
