    Notes: Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements have been made to obtain the activation energy and capture cross section in Schottky diodes. Previous theories for interface state density (ISD) functions, which are derived for metal-semiconductor junctions, made approximations that were inappropriate. This paper derives improvements to the previous analysis and calculates ISD using the measured DLTS data. As for examples, Schottky diodes of Si, GaAs, and AlxGa1−xAs have been investigated with both methods. It has been found that the previously used method overestimated both the peak maximum position and peak height of the ISD.

    Notes: Expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 in human crescentic glomerulonephritisAims:  In glomerulonephritis, intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) may play important roles in the formation of crescents. These studies are designed to evaluate the expression patterns of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in human crescentic glomerulonephritis and to determine the cellular origin of adhesion molecules in the crescentic lesions.Methods and results:  We examined the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 proteins in renal biopsies with cellular (n=7), fibrocellular (n=9) or fibrous (n=4) crescentic glomerulonephritis, and six controls by immunohistochemistry. mRNA expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 was further evaluated by RNA in-situ hybridization. Cytokeratin or CD68 immunohistochemistry was performed on the same sections, where in-situ hybridization had been carried out. In cellular crescents, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 proteins were over-expressed to a similar extent. Of the three types of crescents, the extent of ICAM-1 immunopositivity was the greatest in the cellular crescents and decreased towards the fibrous crescents (P 〈 0.05). Yet the extent of VCAM-1 immunoreactivity was not different between the types. Fibrous crescents still contained some epithelial cells and showed only VCAM-1 expression. In the glomeruli with cellular or fibrocellular crescents, the extent of ICAM-1 immunopositivity in the glomerular tufts was significantly larger than that of VCAM-1 (P 〈 0.05). In an in-situ hybridization study, the mRNA expression patterns of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 paralleled their protein expressions. A double-labelling study showed that the signal for ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 mRNAs was mainly present in cytokeratin-positive and CD68-negative cells in the crescentic lesions.Conclusions:  These results suggest that glomerular parietal epithelial cells in cellular crescents up-regulate both ICAM-1 and VCAM-1, and that some epithelial cells retained in fibrous crescents persistently over-express VCAM-1, but not ICAM-1. They also suggest that ICAM-1 is involved in early leucocyte recruitment into glomeruli in crescentic glomerulonephritis.

    Notes: Cutaneous electrical or chemical stimulation can produce an anti-inflammatory effect, which is dependent on adrenal medullary-sympathetic activation. We have previously shown that peripheral injection of bee venom (BV) also produces a significant anti-inflammatory effect that is neurally mediated. In the present study, we examined whether this anti-inflammatory effect is also dependent on the adrenal gland using the mouse inflammatory air pouch model. Subcutaneous (s.c.) BV injection produced a marked suppression of leucocyte migration and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α concentration induced by zymosan injection into the air pouch. The role of the adrenal gland in this suppression was evaluated in adrenalectomized mice. Adrenalectomy significantly reversed the suppression of leucocyte migration and TNF-α elevation caused by BV. Serum concentrations of corticosteroid were increased in mice with zymosan-induced air-pouch inflammation and this increase was reduced by BV administration, suggesting that adrenal corticosteroid release is not involved in mediating the anti-inflammatory effects of BV. To test this hypothesis, the corticosteroid receptor antagonist (RU486) was administered and found not to affect the BV-induced inhibition of leucocyte migration. By contrast, pretreatment with the β-adrenergic antagonist propranolol reversed the BV-induced inhibitory effect on leucocyte migration. These results suggest that the anti-inflammatory effect of s.c. BV administration is mediated in part by the release of catecholamines from the adrenal medulla.

    Notes: The acid phosphatase of an atypical Citrobacter sp. was purified in two isoforms, designated CPI and CPII, which had different Km values for glycerol 1-phosphate and glycerol 2-phosphate The enzyme was not inhibited by the end-product glycerol. Enzyme activity was increased in the presence of phosphate acceptor molecules having free hydroxyl groups (glycerol, methanol, ethanol). 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicated transfer of the liberated phosphate onto the alcohol, with the de novo production of (e.g.) glycerol 1-phosphate by enzyme supplemented with phosphomonoester substrate and glycerol.

    Notes: This study is designed to demonstrate the distribution of nociceptin, endogenous ORL1 receptor ligand, in the central nervous system of the Mongolian gerbil. To intensify the nociceptin-like immunoreactivity (NOC-LI), colchicine was administered into the lateral ventricle, at 48 h prior to the trans-cardiac perfusion. In the group without colchicine treatment, NOC-LI was observed in the fibres of the spinal dorsal horn, specifically in the superficial layers. However, the NOC-LI in the superficial layers disappeared after the administration of colchicine. In the brain, NOC-LI was prominent in the hypothalamus, hippocampus, cerebral peduncle, substantia nigra, dorsal raphe, periaqueductal grey, locus coeruleus and trapezoid nucleus. Colchicine treatment markedly intensified the NOC-LI in the somata of the central nervous system, whereas the untreated sections were too weak to observe and analyse. The distribution of NOC-LI provides informative data for studies of the neuronal circuit that nociceptin may be involved in.

    Notes: Summary  The primary objective in the surgery of extra large vestibular schwannoma is the total removal of the tumour mass while preserving the facial nerve. Preservation of the facial nerve in extra large tumours is reported as being notoriously difficult in the majority of cases  This study was undertaken to evaluate the accuracy in predicting displacement of the facial nerve by preoperative radiological imaging studies in 19 cases of extra large vestibular schwannoma. The direction of displacement of the facial nerve was predicted with preoperative axial and coronal MRI scans and verified intra-operatively.  We achieved total removal of tumours in 84.2%, facial nerve displacement was predicted in 80% and we accomplished anatomical preservation in 80%. Prediction of displacement was difficult in tumours with little or no intracanalicular components or with severe bony destruction of the internal acoustic meatus.  The preoperative prediction of facial nerve displacement in extra large tumours allows safe internal decompression of the tumour and careful dissection near the predicted area of the facial nerve during the operation. Consequently, a high rate of anatomical preservation of the facial nerve can be achieved.

    Notes: Abstract  A retrovius-mediated transduction of B-domain-deleted human blood coagulation factor VIII (FVIII-B) was attempted in partially hepatectomized rats. FVIII-B cDNA was inserted into a retroviral vector (pLNSX) and infective recombinant virus particles were produced in packaging cell lines (ψ2 and PA317). Transfection of mouse NIH-3T3 cells with the FVIII-B cDNA inserted recombinant viruses, followed by G418 selection, gave a viral titer of 3.5 × 104 CFU/ml. FVIII-B protein, as well as FVIII-B mRNA, was detected in these cells. Transfusion of FVIII-B-expressing retrovirus particles into the tail vein of rats subjected to partial hepatectomy resulted in a relatively higher level of FVIII-B expression in liver and circulating plasma as compared with the sham-operated rats. These results indicate that the augmentation of FVIII activity in the blood of an animal by retroviral gene delivery can be enhanced by partial hepatectomy, and that the retrovirus-mediated FVIII-B cDNA delivery to regenerating liver may be an alternative method for the expression of FVIII-B cDNA in vivo.
