    Notes: Abstract: The effect of undernutrition from the 16th day of pregnancy up to 70th day of life on blood glucose and ketone bodies and on several brain mitochondrial enzymes related to energy metabolism or biosynthetic function was investigated. Undernutrition in perinatal period was established by means of a food restriction to pregnant rats and, later, to the lactating mother; undernourished postweaned rats received half the diet consumed by the controls. Body and brain weight from undernourished rats was less than controls throughout the entire period studied. Glycemia and ketonemia were also always lower than controls. Cytochrome c oxidase, citrate synthase, 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase, 3-oxoacid coenzyme A transferase, and acetoacetyl-coenzyme A thiolase activities during the suckling period were in most stages lower than controls; subsequently, activities in undernourished rats reached or surpassed the control values. These results could explain the “catch up”phenomenon in several ultrastructural parameters found by other authors in undernourished postweaned rats.

    Notes: Abstract— A ductile medium strength steel has been modelled by means of the Gurson model, and been used to investigate the effect of crack tip constraint in several fracture mechanics specimens. Both numerical and experimental results have been obtained, in the course of the crack extension process, for single edge notch bending specimens with different crack length-to-width ratios. The geometries with the shorter cracks always exhibited higher J values at initiation and steeper J crack growth resistance curves, and these results have been explained in terms of the stress and strain fields and damage development in the region ahead of the crack tip.

    Notes: Field cycling nuclear magnetic resonance relaxometry was used to study the slow molecular dynamics in the nematics and isotropic phases and polyphasic region of the phase diagram in the thernary mixture: potassium laurate/1-decanol/water. The experiment has been performed over a broad range of Larmor frequencies (2×103−6.6×106 Hz). The first experimental evidence of director fluctuations in a micellar lyotropic nematic liquid crystal, studied by 1H spin-lattice relaxation rate, is reported. The results evidence that in the nematic mesophases, director fluctuations are responsible for the spin-lattice relaxation dispersion in the low Larmor frequency range ((approximately-less-than)105 Hz). By increasing the intermicellar water content, a crossover was found between a quasi-isotropic three-dimensional (3D) director fluctuation behavior and a two-dimensional (2D) pseudo-lamellar undulation fluctuation. In spite of the fact that no menatic phases of this micellar complex fluid are isotropic with respect to light scattering, they present spin-lattice relaxation profiles as driven by local director fluctuations. The polyphasic region, at lower temperatures, shows a quasinematic 3D director fluctuation behavior; meanwhile, the isotropic phase, at higher temperatures, presents 2D pseudo-lamellar undulation fluctuation modes. We conclude that the micelles, in the isotropic phase, preserve the pseudo-lamellar structure, already found in the nematic phases but forming nematic domains with the directors randomly oriented. In order to explain the higher frequency range ((approximately-greater-than)105 Hz), two relaxation mechanisms are assigned: (i) molecular reorientation by translational diffusion on the micellar surface and (ii) molecular exchange between the micelle and the bulk. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The nonrelativistic anharmonic–asymmetrical–oscillator (AAO) is studied in full. The classical equation of motion is solved using Jacobi elliptic functions which have both real and imaginary periods. The imaginary period is connected with the imaginary part of the energy in quantum mechanics. The resonances (Siegert states) are calculated in the JWKB approximation.

    Notes: The inducible nitrogen oxygen synthase (iNOS) and nitric oxide (NO) system acting in concert with superoxide radicals is recognized as a powerful macrophage microbicidal mechanism. However, experimentation with iNOS knockout mice has rendered contradictory results on the protective role of iNOS/NO in the course of mycobacterial infections. On the other hand, NO also plays an immunoregulatory role. Knowing the nature of the mycobacterial constituents that induce iNOS gene expression would help to better understand the host–parasite relationship.Lipoarabinomannan (LAM) and a 19 KDa lipoprotein are the two known mycobacterial constituents that have shown to induce iNOS. By screening a set of methanol extracted lipids from Mycobacterium microti, here we provide evidence that multiple mycobacterial molecules of lipidic nature both of intermediate and of high polarity, with free amino groups or carbohydrates but no phosphate groups as part of their structure are capable of inducing iNOS gene expression in J774 cells, thus implying a complex relationship between mycobacteria and their host immune system in regard to iNOS gene expression.

    Notes: The local synaptic connectivity in the superficial gray layer of the superior colliculus (SC) was assessed following retinal ganglion cell axonal regeneration through a peripheral nerve graft into the SC of Lister Hooded rats, using in vitro brain slice techniques. Repair was effected between the ipsilateral eye and SC, following bilateral lesion of optic nerves and ablation of ipsilateral occipital cortex. Deafferentation surgery alone resulted in a complete loss of synaptic potentials of extrinsic origin, once both retinal and cortical inputs were removed. Stimulation of graft insertion sites elicited synaptic responses comprising monosynaptic and network-mediated depolarising events. This activity, together with similar spontaneous bursts of depolarising events and action potential firing, was generated by the activation of non-N-methyl-d-aspartate glutamate receptors. This behaviour may reflect the development of a local recurrent synaptic connectivity following the repair surgery, as both evoked and spontaneous responses developed into large long-lasting bursts of excitatory activity when inhibition mediated by GABA receptors was blocked. These results suggest that the ultrastructural changes in the superficial layers of the SC resulting from deafferentation are reflected functionally at the synaptic level in the target structure even after repair. Such changes are likely to compromise the ability of the target structure to function normally during information processing. Therefore, although axons regenerating along peripheral nerve grafts can make functional synaptic connections, their efficacy in activating the target structure will probably be compromised by local changes in synaptic connectivity.

    Notes: The preferred temperatures of grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella (Valenciennes), and brema carp, Megalobrama amblycephala (Yih), were determined individually and together in both horizontal and vertical gradients. No significant difference was found by two methods between the preferred temperatures in either species of carp (28.0-28.5 oC) when the fish were placed individually. However, when the two species of carp were placed together, C. idella was displaced thermally, preferring a temperature of 23.5 oC, which was significantly lower than that obtained when it was held separately. This suggests that, if both species of carp are placed in ponds forming part of a Chinese polyculture system, C. idella will seek out a lower temperature as a mechanism to avoid competition, and therefore, the growth of this species will be reduced.
