    Notes: The high-vacancy-content ferrites represented by x(MFe2O4)⋅y(Fe3O4)⋅z(γ-Fe2O3), where x+y+z=1 (z(approximately-greater-than)0.50), were obtained in the clear and strongly alkaline solutions of Fe(III) and M(II) tartrate [M(II)=Zn(II), Ni(II), and Cd(II)] or dextrose at 100 °C. The vacancies were replaced with the bivalent metal ions in the reaction solutions, and the replaced number increased with an increase in the concentration of the bivalent metal ions. The ferrite particle size was dependent on the bivalent metal species and the content (x,y). The Fe(II) ions enhanced the crystal-growth rate. The particle size of the magnetites (x=0) increased from 100 to 800 A(ring) with an increase in the Fe(II) ion content (y=0.10–0.35). The high-vacancy-content magnetite was transferred from superparamagnetic to ferrimagnetic particles as the size increased. The Zn(II), Ni(II), and Cd(II) ions did not enhance the growth rate so much as compared to the Fe(II) ions. The particle sizes were less than 200 A(ring), and most of the particles were superparamagnetic. The saturation magnetizations were lower than the theoretical values, and increased with an increase in the particle size, indicating the surface effect.

    Notes: An experimental study has been made on the interaction of an underwater shock wave with two air bubbles attached to a gelatin surface. The shock wave was generated by detonating a microexplosive pellet, and the subsequent behavior of bubble collapse was visualized by high-speed photography. By measuring the directivity and the maximum depth of the liquid jets of the two bubbles penetrating into the gelatin, it was found that when the bubbles are beyond a critical separation distance, the depth of the penetration was no longer affected by the presence of the other bubble, and that the penetration depth for a given bubble in a two-bubble arrangement is a function of the size of the other bubble. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract— Adenosine metabolism in the homogenate of brain mainly undergoes deamination to inosine and hypoxanthine, while uniformly labelled [14C]adenosine injected into the carotid artery or [8-14C]adenosine incubated with brain slices was mostly phosphorylated to [14C]adenine nucleotides in brain cells. Adenosine kinase has now been partially purified from homogenates of guinea pig brain. The kinase preparation was free of adenosine deaminase, almost free of adenosine triphosphatase and had a Km of the order of 2 × 10-5M for adenosine.Kinetic studies with brain slices showed that adenosine reached the cells by diffusion and that the diffusion was facilitated by subsequent phosphorylation to adenine nucleotides. From the following experimental results, it is concluded that the phosphorylation is catalysed by adenosine kinase quantitatively. (1) During the uptake and phosphorylation of adenosine by brain slices, the nucleoside did not split to adenine and ribose moieties. (2) The rate of formation of adenine nucleotides in the slices was a hyperbolic function of the concentration of adenosine in the medium, showing an apparent Km foradenosine of the order of 2 × 10-5 M. (3) Some analogues of adenosine inhibited both the facilitated diffusion of adenosine and the kinase activity, but ouabain (0.005 mM) did not inhibit either.

    Notes: An experimental investigation was made of the motion of a cavitation bubble in the vicinity of a free surface in order to study an induced secondary cavitation during the bubble rebound. A bubble was produced by focusing a ruby laser into water, and its subsequent behavior was observed with a high-speed camera. The deformable nature of both a bubble and a free surface becomes significant as the mutual distance between them is decreased. Immediately after bubble rebound, a secondary cavitation occurs at around zero dynamic pressure region which is developed in water between a rising free surface and a collapsing bubble, due to the local pressure reduction mainly caused by the interaction of expansion waves originated from the surface.

    Notes: Aims:  Lymphomatous polyposis (LP) is considered to represent mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, a few reports have suggested that some are follicular lymphoma (FL) or mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphomas. In this study, we analysed 35 patients and clarified the clinicopathological features of LP.Methods and results:  Paraffin-embedded tissue samples were stained immunohistochemically and analysed by tissue-fluorescence in situ hybridization (T-FISH) for IGH/CCND1 (cyclin D1) and IGH/BCL2. The average age of the patients was 58.3 years. Over half of the cases showed gastric, duodenal, small intestinal, ileocaecal and sigmoid colonic lesions (15, 19, 15, 16 and 16 cases, respectively). Phenotypically, cases were classified into three types of MCL (cyclin D1+ CD5+ CD10–) (n = 12), FL (cyclin D1– CD5– CD10+) (n = 14) and MALT (cyclin D1– CD5– CD10–) (n = 9). T-FISH identified 11 of the 11 examined cases with MCLs to have IGH/CCND1, while seven of 10 cases with FL had IGH/BCL2, and none of the MALT cases were positive for IGH/CCND1 or IGH/BCL2. At the study endpoint, five of 12 patients with MCL were dead, two of 14 with FL and one of nine with MALT were dead of other disease. Event-free survival analysis showed significantly poorest outcome in MCL, followed by FL, while MALT was associated with a favourable outcome (P = 0.0040).Conclusions:  Our study emphasizes the importance of differentiating MCL, FL and MALT of LP in evaluating prognosis and hence the most suitable therapeutic regimen.

    Notes: Background  Correcting Th1/Th2 imbalance with administration of IL-12 before and during antigen challenge holds therapeutic promise in asthma. However, the effects of IL-12 on the established asthmatic responses have not fully been examined.Objective  We investigated whether IL-12 administered after antigen challenge could diminish airway hyper-reactivity (AHR) and eosinophilia in mice actively sensitized to ovalbumin. We also have investigated the ability of administered IL-12 to induce IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) expression that may lead possible synergic action of IL-12 with endogenous IL-18.Methods  C57BL/6 mice immunized to ovalbumin (OVA) by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection, were challenged three times with an aerosol of OVA every second day for 8 days. Recombinant IL-12 (500 ng) was intravenously administered on a single occasion 1 h after the final challenge of mice. Mice were analysed for effects of IL-12 on AHR, inflammatory cell infiltration and cytokine levels in lung tissue as well as serum immunoglobulin (Ig) E levels. Immunohistochemistry for IL-18R was performed using rat monoclonal antibody specific for murine IL-18Rα (IL-1 receptor related protein; IL-1Rrp).Results  An intravenous IL-12 administration diminished AHR, pulmonary eosinophilia and T lymphocyte infiltration, serum IgE, IL-4 and IL-13 in lung tissue. Expression of IL-18R was induced in the mononuclear cells in the lung of mice exposed to OVA. IL-12 administration enhanced the IL-18R expression compared with the control.Conclusion  These data indicate that IL-12 can attenuate established antigen-induced AHR and inflammation. In this mechanism it would be interpreted as follows: IL-12 administration in OVA-challenged mice decreased IL-4 production and IgE production thereafter through direct effect on inhibiting the activation of established Th2 cells response and also combined effect with up-regulation of IL-18R expression by inflammatory cells in the lung.

    Notes: Background and objective Carbon monoxide (CO) is known to be present in measurable quantities in the exhalation of asthmatic patients. Corticosteroid treatment resulted in a decrease in exhaled CO levels in asthmatic patients, raising the possibility that an increase in exhaled CO concentration reflects inflammation of the asthmatic airway. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) protein, also called HSP32, is the rate-limiting enzyme in the catabolism of heme to biliverdin, free iron and CO. However, it is unknown whether an expression of HO-1 within the lung tissue is related to allergic airway inflammation. We studied the expression of HO-1 in lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage cells in a mouse model of asthma.Methods Ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized C57BL/6 mice were challenged with aerosolized OVA. HO-1 positive cells were identified by immunostaining in lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) after the challenge.Results HO-1 positive cell numbers increased in the subepithelium of the bronchi after OVA challenge. In cytospin preparations from BALF after OVA challenge, HO-1 was localized to alveolar macrophages. Inside the macrophages, HO-1 reactivity was expressed in the cytoplasm, and the perinuclear region in particular.Conclusion The expression of HO-1 is increased within the lung tissue in allergic airway inflammation. Measurement of HO-1 activity may be clinically useful in the management of asthma.

    Notes: Aim:  To study the clinicopathological and immunohistochemical features of 143 cases of primary small and large intestinal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in Japanese patients who presented between 1981 and 2000.Methods and results:  The new World Health Organization (WHO) classification was used to classify NHL. The patients included 109 males and 34 females, with an average age of 54.1 years. Tumour sites were as follows: ileocaecal (n = 51, 35.7%), ileum (n = 29, 20.3%), rectum (n = 13, 9.1%), and duodenum (n = 11, 7.7%). Macroscopically, 124 cases (86.7%) were classified as tumorous type, 12 (8.4%) as diffuse infiltration type (erosion, superficial ulceration), five (3.5%) as polyposis type, and only two cases (1.4%) as ulceration type. Immunohistochemically, 122 lesions (85.3%) were of B-cell phenotype and 21 lesions (14.7%) were of T-cell phenotype. According to the WHO classification, of the B-cell lymphomas, 84 cases (68.9%) were large cell, 16 (13.1%) were Burkitt, 10 (8.2%) were marginal zone B-cell lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT), and seven (5.7%) were mantle cell tumours. Among the T-cell lymphomas, 15 (71.4%) were of unspecified type, two (9.5%) were natural killer type, two were anaplastic large-cell lymphomas, one was lymphoblastic, and one was an adult T-cell leukaemia lymphoma. The survival rate for T-cell lymphomas was poorer than for B-cell lymphomas. Among the B-cell lymphomas, mantle cell lymphoma tended to have a poorer prognosis, whereas MALT lymphomas had a better prognosis than other B-cell tumour types.Conclusions:  Our retrospective study of patients with primary malignant lymphomas in the small and large intestines has illustrated the clinical features and outcomes of patients with this disease.
