    Notes: Abstract The calcium dependency of AT1-receptor mediated contractions was studied in isolated rat portal vein preparations. The spontaneous phasic contractile force of the rat portal vein was increased (ED50 = 1.76 mmol/l) and the frequency of contractions decreased by raising the extracellular calcium concentration. The Ang 11-induced rise in phasic contractile force (mediated by AT1-receptors, Zhang et al. 1993) proved most pronounced at 0.9 mmol/l of calcium chloride, but it was weaker at either lower or higher calcium concentrations. The maximal increases in the phasic contractile force induced by Ang II were 2.4±0.4, 14.8±0.9 and 5±0.5 mN at calcium concentrations of 0.5, 0.9 and 2.5 mmol/l, respectively. Calcium antagonists reduced at the lower and abolished at the higher concentrations (nifedipine 2×10−8 or 10−7 mol/l; verapamil 10−7 or 5 × 10−7 mol/l; diltiazem 3 × 10−7 or 10–6 mol/l) the spontaneous contractile force. All of these calcium antagonists caused a strong inhibition or suppression of the phasic contractions induced by Ang II.The rank order of potency was nifedipine 〉verapamil 〉 diltiazem. Ang II (10−6 mol/l) elicited a tonic contraction which was abolished by the AT1-receptor antagonist losartan 10-6 mol/l but not by the AT2-receptor antagonist PD 123177 (10–5 mol/l). Very high concentrations of nifedipine (10–6 mol/l), verapamil (5 × 10-6 mol/l) and diltiazem (5 × 10−6 mol/l) almost suppressed the tonic effect evoked by the activation of AT1-receptors. In a nominally Ca2+ “free”, EGTA-containing solution, a single supra-maximal concentration of Ang II (10−6 mol/l) caused a transient contraction, also mediated by AT1-receptors. This finding suggests the existence of Ang II-sensitive intracellular calcium stores in this preparation. The depletion of such stores proved complete after 4–6 min of perfusion in a Ca2+ “free”, EGTA-containing solution. In conclusion, various types of contractions (a transient contraction in a Ca2+-“free” medium, phasic and tonic contractions) induced by Ang II in the rat portal vein proved to be mediated by AT1-receptors. These contractions were clearly modified by changes in the availability of extra- and possibly intracellular calcium ions. The calcium movements elicited by stimulation of AT1-receptors in a calcium containing solution were inhibited by the three calcium antagonists investigated.

    Notes: Abstract The disulfide-reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT) has been shown to reduce angiotensin II (Ang II) subtype 1 receptor (AT,) binding sites in various tissues. Its effect on Ang II-induced contractions was studied in the rat portal vein and rabbit aorta. In the isolated rat portal vein, DTT shifted the concentration-response curve for Ang II to the right (DTT 0.5–3 mmol/l) and depressed the maximal response (DTT 1–3 mmol/l). DTT 5 mmol/l almost abolished the effect of Ang II. In the isolated rabbit aorta, the inhibitory effect of DTT was more pronounced and its pattern of effect was different,since DTT 0.3 and 0.5 mmol/l caused a progressive flattening of the concentration-response curve of Ang II. DTT (1 mmol/l) fully suppressed the effect of Ang II. A biphasic curve consisting of a high sensitivity component and a component of low sensitivity for Ang II was observed after pretreatment with DTT 1 mmol/l in the rat portal vein but not in the rabbit aorta. In the presence of DTT 1 mmol/l, the AT1-receptor antagonist losartan antagonized the high sensitivity response to Ang II in a competitive manner with a pA2 value very similar to that obtained in the absence of DTT, suggesting that this response to Ang II is mediated by those AT1-receptors which were not inactivated by DTT The biphasic curve may be explained by the occurrence of a single AT1-receptor subtype existing in two different states. Another possibility might be the involvement of two AT1-receptor subpopulations. It is concluded that disulfide bonds are critical for the functional role of AT1-receptors in Ang II-induced contractions in the rat portal vein and rabbit aorta.

    Notes: Summary The purpose of the present study was to identify the angiotensin II-receptor subtype involved in the enhancement of the amplitude of the phasic contractions by angiotensin II in the isolated rat portal vein preparation. At an extracellular Ca2+ concentration of 0.9 mmol/l and a K+ concentration of 4 mmol/l, angiotensin II induced concentration-dependent increases in the amplitude of the phasic contractions. The enhancement of phasic contraction amplitude caused by angiotensin II was not significantly altered by pretreatment of the rat portal vein with indomethacin 10−5 mol/l or nitro-L-arginine 10−4 mol/l, indicating that neither prostaglandins nor the endothelium derived-relaxing factor (NO) are involved. Losartan (DuP 753), a nonpeptide selective AT1-receptor antagonist, concentration-dependently shifted the concentration-response curve for the effect of angiotensin II on the amplitude of the contractions to the right, without reducing the maximal response (pA2 = 8.6, slope = 0.98), thus suggesting competitive antagonism at the level of AT1-receptors. By contrast, PD 123177, a nonpeptide selective AT2-receptor antagonist, even at 10−5 mol/l, caused no significant change of the phasic myogenic response to angiotensin II, indicating the absence of AT2-receptor involvement. Dithiothreitol, a disulfide-reducing agent which is known to inactivate AT1-receptors in various tissues, markedly inhibited (3 mmol/l) or even abolished (5 mmol/l) the contractile response of the rat portal vein to angiotensin II, supporting the conclusion that these receptors can be classified as AT1-receptors. In conclusion, the receptor subtype mediating the angiotensin II-induced potentiation of the spontaneous phasic contractions in the rat portal vein appears to belong to the AT1-receptor subtype.

    Notes: Optically active isotactic polychloral was prepared in which the optical activity comes exclusively from molecular asymmetry (i.e., helical conformation). Molecular asymmetry requires a high conformational energy barrier for the polymer backbone, and an asymmetric initiator to induce a predominance of one helical screw-sense. Polychloral meets the criteria. Asymmetric initiators used to obtain optically active polychloral include tetramethyl ammonium (+)- or (-)-0-acetylmandelate, tetramethylammonium (+)- or (-)-0-methylmandelate, the lithiumalkoxides of methyl (+)- or (-)-mandelate, lithium cholesten-3β-oxide, lithium cholestan-3β-oxide, and lithium (+)- or (-)-2-octanoxide. Using the above initiators at 0.5 mol %, a maximum specific rotation of [α] D25 = 5000 was obtained for polychloral. Errors in specific rotation were typically ±7%.

    Notes: We present in this article the use of infrared laser radiation to achieve localized curing in thermosensitive epoxy resin compounds. In stereolithography, the objective is to cure a localized region in a material by precisely confining the laser energy to the area that is to be cured. Industry already uses ultraviolet laser radiation at 352 nm to fabricate three-dimensional structures. Via infrared laser curing, we demonstrate the viability of a completely thermal localized curing process. In our experiment, we have focused the beam from a carbon dioxide (CO2) laser onto a sample composed of epoxy resin, diethylene triamine, and silica powder. Such resins typically cure, or solidify, when heated to moderately high temperatures, and our results show that we can confine the heating of the material, and, therefore, its curing in all three dimensions. We present a physical and a chemical model to describe the process and measure the curing rate as a function of temperature. In order to model the flow of heat in our sample as a result of infrared laser irradiation, we solved the time-dependent heat equation in cylindrical coordinates using the Crank-Nicholson finite-difference method. The results allow us to predict the curing behavior of the sample as a function of laser irradiation conditions, and we find good agreement with our preliminary experimental observations. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The value of in situ monitoring to study growth dynamics and surface reaction kinetics in a gas source molecular beam epitaxy process is illustrated with reference to the growth of Si films on Si(001) substrates using a beam of disilane (Si2H6). By using a combination of reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and reflection anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS), we show first how morphological (long-range order) and local electronic structure effects can be separated in the evaluation of growth dynamics. This involves the measurement of step density changes by RHEED concomitantly with the variation in domain coverage on the Si(001) (2×1)+(1×2) reconstructed surface by RAS. This approach is then extended to investigate the kinetics of hydrogen desorption, which is the rate-limiting step in Si growth from Si2H6. It is shown that over a significant temperature range, zeroth-order kinetics are obeyed and this is explained on the basis of a step-mediated desorption process. Finally we show how this influences the growth rate on substrates of differing degrees of vicinality. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notes: A study was carried out to examine the effect of removing the size from the surface of glass fibers in order to determine its role with respect to thermoxidative aging. Dynamic mechanical relaxation data have revealed that mechanical losses were always greater than the calculated upper bound values. The effects of removing the size from the surface glass fibers for epoxy matrix composites were found to be completely different when a fluoroligomer was used to modify the resin. Contrary to the case of the conventional epoxy resin, the characteristics of the composites containing fluoroligomer-modified resin were found to be insensitive to the removal of the size from the glass fibers surface. The presence of the size on the surface of the fibers provides an interlayer that degrades through the formation of more lightly crosslinked products than the matrix, thereby providing a large increase in dynamic mechanical losses after thermal aging. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
