    Notes: The nested primers designed to amplify a 222-base pair portion of the hemolysin gene, vvhA, were specific for all V. vulnificus strains tested. The nested PCR amplification, coupled with direct extraction of template DNA, revealed improved sensitivity sufficient for detection of 1 to 10 CFU V. vulnificus in 1 mL of seafood homogenates, and eliminated the need for enrichment culturing. Thereby, the nested PCR method achieved a broader applicability, making it effective for extensive use in identification of the pathogen in natural samples such as raw seafoods, seawater and sediments.

    Notes: We report pseudodielectric function data 〈ε〉=〈ε1〉+i〈ε2〉 of ZnSexTe1−x samples grown on GaAs substrates. The data were obtained from 1.5 to 6.5 eV using spectroscopic ellipsometry. Critical-point parameters were obtained by fitting model line shapes to numerically calculated second-energy derivatives of 〈ε〉. The bowing parameters of E0, E1, and E1+Δ1 were determined and were comparable to that of E0 quoted from the literature. We observed a monotonic increase of the linewidth of the E1 gap up to x=0.85, whereas that of E1+Δ1 showed a maximum value near x=0.5. We attribute this anomalous broadening of the E1 gap to sample microstructures developed in the low-Te composition alloys. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The anti-allergic activity and mechanism of cinnarizine was investigated in guinea pigs. Nifedipine, a calcium antagonist, and tranilast, a potent, orally active anti-allergic agent, were used as comparative drugs. 1) Cinnarizine protected against fatal systemic anaphylactic shock in guinea pigs passively sensitized with IgE antibody. Cinnarizine reduced many of the features of severe respiratory disorders. Nifedipine and tranilast showed similar effects. 2) Cinnarizine and nifedipine inhibited the contractile response to antigen of sensitized tracheal smooth muscle when the challenge was carried out at low antigen concentrations. Tranilast showed a tendency to inhibit the antigen-induced contraction of tracheal smooth muscle. 3) Cinnarizine and nifedipine inhibited Ca-induced contraction in potassium-depolarized tracheal smooth muscle, tranilast had no effect. 4) Cinnarizine showed antagonistic action to the contraction by histamine or leukotriene D4 (LTD4) of tracheal muscle. Nifedipine showed similar antagonistic action, although its potency is lower than cinnarizine. Tranilast showed slight antagonistic action to LTD4. 5) Antigen-induced release of histamine and slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) from sensitized lung tissues was inhibited by nifedipine and tranilast but not by cinnarizine. 6) The release of histamine and SRS-A from lung tissues by calcium ionophore A23187 was inhibited by nifedipine and tranilast but not by cinnarizine. These results suggest that the anti-allergic action of cinnarizine is mainly due to the antagonistic action to allergic mediators and not by interfering with die release of mediators. Cinnarizine's mechanism seems to be related to its antagonistic action to Ca in smooth muscle, but not to the transport of Ca in releasing the anaphylactic chemical mediators in mast cells and other target cells.

    Notes: A combined experimental and theoretical analysis of the fracture behaviour of brass/solder/brass sandwich specimens is conducted. First, the theories of interfacial fracture initiation for a ductile layer sandwiched between elastic substrates are reviewed. The fracture behaviours are then reported of brass/solder/brass sandwich specimens under various mode mixities. Additionally, the effects of solder layer thickness h and specimen lateral thickness t are presented. The effects of mode mix and plastic constraint on the failure mechanism and toughness are analysed.

    Notes: Abstract In a retrospective study, the prognostic value of monitoring the decay of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was assessed. Serum AFP was determined serially in 18 children with malignant germ-cell or hepatic tumors: 7 endodermal sinus tumor, 3 embryonal carcinoma, 5 malignant teratoma, 2 hepatoblastomas, and 1 hepatocellular carcinoma. The actual half-life (AHL) of AFP was computed after surgical resection of the tumor. In group 1, which had complete resection and no recurrence during follow-up (n = 13), the AHL of AFP was 4.0 ± 0.9 days. In group 2, which had incomplete resection or recurrence during follow-up (n = 5), the AHL of AFP was 24.8 ± 20 days, significantly longer than that of group 1 (P = 0.0026). The increased AHL of AFP indicated residual active tumor after surgical resection. The AHL of AFP may be more sensitive than serial monitoring of AFP in detecting preclinical recurrence after surgical resection of AFP-secreting tumors. Treatment strategies can be based on AFP clearance, and prospective clinical trials are warranted.

    Notes: Abstract  Tumor development or growth is accompanied by impaired immune responses, such as a poor proliferative response or down-regulated cytolytic T lymphocyte activity. Although recent reports have suggested that modification of the signal-transducing molecule is responsible for impaired immune responses in tumor-bearing hosts, the causes of defective immune function are not yet completely understood. Furthermore, the clinical significance of the findings is not yet clear. In this study, we investigated the alteration of several signal-transducing molecules in peripheral blood T lymphocytes (T-PBL) as well as in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) from human colorectal carcinoma patients and their relationship with the impaired host immune responses. A greater reduction in CD3ζ chain level was observed in TIL than in T-PBL from tumor-bearing hosts. CD3ζ chain reduction in T-PBL correlated with the clinicopathological stage of a tumor, especially with the status of lymph node metastasis. The levels of p56 lck and p59 fyn protein tyrosine kinase in T-PBL were also compared between tumor-bearing hosts and normal healthy volunteers. In T-PBL from tumor-bearing hosts, expression of protein tyrosine kinase p59 fyn was significantly lower than that of p56 lck . However, the level of CD3ζ chain expression did not correlate with T lymphocyte functions such as T lymphocyte proliferative response or allogeneic target cell lysis.
