    Notes: Abstract Due to its constant glial morphology and small variability as to tumor location and growth characteristics, the intracerebral D-54MG tumor xenograft provides the predictability and reproducability needed by models for the study of stereotactic interstitial radiotherapy. Development and results of experimental brachytherapy in an intracerebral human gliomas derived xenograft tumor model are reported. Tumor homogenate prepared from homogenized subcutaneous D-54MG xenografts was inoculated into the frontal lobe of athymic BALB/c mice (nu/nu genotype). The D-54MG glioma xenografts grew at the site of inoculation without intraventricular or subarachnoid spread. The increase of median survival (IMS) was 58.33% for the highest dose (9370 cGy) and 33.3% for the intermediate dose (5654 cGy). In both experiments the survival prolongation was statistically significant (p〈0.05) as calculated by the Log Rank Rest for Kaplan Meier Survival Distributions. In the low dose group (3159 cGy) only a small and not significant IMS was achieved (16.67%). The results of the present investigation demonstrate the accuracy of the stereotactic operative procedure and the efficacy of experimental intracerebral interstitial radiotherapy with I125 seeds. Using a constant dose rate, experimental interstitial brachytherapy in brain-tumor bearing nude mice was shown to result in a dose dependant survival prolongation for the treated animals. The model may help to optimize the rational basis of clinical brain tumor therapy and is well suited to simulate dose and dose rate related therapeutic effects.

    Notes: Abstract  Left ventricular hypertrophy is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In arterial hypertension and in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy it may be accompanied by clinical signs of myocardial ischaemia resulting from microcirculatory dysfunction in the absence of coronary macroangiopathy. Structural changes of the vascular and interstitial compartment of the heart are involved in the pathogenesis of impaired microcirculation. We investigated patients with hypertensive heart disease (HHD; n=12) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM; n=19) without coronary macroangiopathy but with signs of myocardial ischaemia. Right septal endomyocardial biopsies were evaluated to quantify the structure of intramyocardial arterioles, collagen content and myocytic diameter by morphometric rules. Nine normotensive subjects served as controls. The groups differed significantly (P〈0.05) in myocytic diameter and total collagen content. The myocytic diameter correlated with the thickness of the interventricular septum. Arterioles in HHD showed a significant increase in cross-sectional medial area and in HHD patients the periarteriolar collagen area increased both in absolute terms and when standardized to medial area. Arteriolar density was significantly reduced in HCM. In a multivariate discriminant analysis the positive predictive value for differentiation of the groups by non-myocytic variables was 72.5% (P=0.013). HHD and HCM differ in the structural alterations in the arteriolar bed. Medial hypertrophy and periarteriolar fibrosis prevail in HHD, and reduced arteriolar density is found in HCM. Different microvascular remodelling at the level of arterioles indicates distinct pathophysiologic processes that may contribute to the clinically observed disturbance of coronary microperfusion in these two diseases.

    Notes: Abstract: The interaction between LiH and H has been calculated using a Coupled Cluster approach in view of examining the strength of the coupling between the impinging atom and the rovibrational LiH states in low energy collision regimes. The potential energy surface was thus obtained by considering not only the angular anisotropy but also the dependence of the interaction energy on the vibrational motion of the LiH molecule, hence producing the strength of the vibrational coupling. The main objective is that of gaining a realistic description of the interaction in the sub-reactive region. The results of our calculations show here that this interaction should be used in conjunction with that of the reactive configurational space because of the strong coupling between the non-reactive and the reactive channels in the present system makes the full reactive scattering calculations a more reliable way to obtain realistic cross-sections also for inelastic relaxation and excitation processes.
