    Notes: Summary Severe microvascular disease exists at the stage of clinical diabetic neuropathy. A non-invasive test that will identify those diabetic subjects who will eventually develop neuropathy is essential for early intervention. Sural sensory conduction velocity was recorded (x 3) in 12 non-neuropathic diabetic subjects, 15 diabetic subjects with established neuropathy and 16 age-matched normal control subjects, before and after exercise to 80% age/sex predicted maximum heart rate. Fixed sural electrodes were used. Subcutaneous temperature was recorded by a needle thermocouple placed near the sural nerve. Sural sensory conduction velocity increased significantly after exercise in normal subjects (p〈0.01, mean increase 5.07 m/s) and non-neuropathic diabetic subjects (p〈0.02, mean increase 3.99 m/s) but not in neuropathic subjects (mean increase 0.99 m/s). Subcutaneous temperature rose significantly in normal subjects (p〈0.01, mean increase 2.07°C) and non-neuropathic diabetic subjects (p〈0.001, mean increase 2.52 °C) but not in neuropathic subjects (mean increase 0.15 °C). However, sural sensory conduction velocity increased by 1.2 m · s−1. °C−1 following direct warming of the limb in six neuropathic subjects which was comparable to that of normal and non-neuropathic subjects (1.49 and 1.48 m · s−1. °C−1). The impairment of exercise conduction increment in diabetic neuropathy suggests impaired nerve blood flow in diabetic neuropathy.

    Notes: Abstract Aims/hypothesis. Experimental studies have shown that abnormalities of nerve microcirculation are important factors in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy but there have been few clinical studies. We have applied microlightguide spectrophotometry to measure intravascular oxygen saturation (HbO2%) and blood flow in human sural nerve. Methods. We studied ten patients with mild-moderate sensory motor diabetic neuropathy, nine patients without neuropathy and nine control subjects. We took 300 measurements of oxygen saturation under direct visual control through a 1.9 mm rigid endoscope over three regions of the nerve. Spectrophotometric measurements of nerve fluorescence were taken after an intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein and the rate of increase in nerve fluorescence (rise time) was used as an indicator of nerve blood flow. Results. Nerve oxygen saturation was reduced in patients with neuropathy compared with control subjects (67.1 ± 2.2 % vs 76.7 ± 2.1 %, p = 0.006). Fluorescein rise time was prolonged in patients with neuropathy compared with the control group (48.5 ± 7.0 s vs 14.0 ± 3.1 s, p = 0.001) suggesting impaired nerve blood flow. There was a correlation between rise time, nerve oxygen saturation, glycaemic control and sural nerve sensory conduction velocity (p 〈 0.01). Conclusion/interpretation. The combination of microlight-guide spectrophotometry and micro-endoscopy provides a valuable minimally invasive technique for clinical investigation of nerve microcirculation. We have shown reduced nerve oxygenation and impaired blood flow in diabetic neuropathy and these findings strongly support a central role of microvascular disease in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy.

    REMOVAL OF RADIOACTIVE STRONTIUM AND CESIUM FROM VEGETABLES DURING LABORATORY SCALE PROCESSING (1979)

    Notes: Several processing methods were examined for their effectiveness in removing 90Sr and 137Cs from vegetables exposed to the radionuclides through the nutrient solution. The greatest decontamination resulted from a combination of pickling and canning which reduced 137Cs by 94% and 90Sr by 65%. Canning was highly effective in reducing radionuclide concentrations in beans and kale. Freezing significantly reduced radionuclide content of only 137Cs in kale. Blanching of sweet potatoes appeared to result in a transfer of radioactivity from the peel to core, indicating that skins of contaminated potatoes should be removed prior to thermal treatment. Preparatory procedures prior to processing did not significantly reduce radionuclide levels except for 137Cs in beans.

    Copper Activity in Sucrose Solutions (1987)

    Notes: Copper activity was measured by a cupric electrode in 0.1 M sodium acetate-acetic acid buffered (pH 3.2, 4.5, 6.0) and unbuffered sucrose solutions (10% w/v) using the standard addition technique (l–10 ppm of Cu++). In water, the measured copper concentration (activity) was linearly related to the added copper concentration with a slope of unity. The slope decreased in acetate buffer solutions as pH increased indicating that Cu++ was complexed with acetate and to a greater extent at higher pH. In the presence of sucrose, copper activity increased approximately 16% in all solutions. Results suggest that the bulking effect of sucrose and the decreased water activity in solutions produced increased copper activity in sucrose solutions.

    Destructive Effect of Aspartame on Ascorbic Acid in Cu-catalyzed Solutions (1991)

    Notes: The effect of aspartame on the early stage of ascorbic acid oxidation in solutions was studied by measuring ascorbic acid retention in an open system at 30°C and the oxygen uptake in a closed system at 33°C. Comparisons were also made between aspartame (0.06% and 0.12%) and sucrose (10% and 20%) in Cu-catalyzed and noncatalyzed solutions at 30°C. Copper activity in aspartame solution was measured by using a cupric ion selective electrode. Aspartame increased the rate of ascorbic acid oxidation in all tested solutions. In the presence of copper the oxidation rate of ascorbic acid was significantly higher in aspartame solutions than in sucrose solutions despite the fact that aspartame showed Cu-complex capacity in solution.

    The performance of two intensive care humidifiers at high gas flows (1993)

    Notes: High continuous flow breathing systems are now available to provide fresh gas flows well in excess of 100 l.min−1 in continuous positive airway pressure systems used for respiratory support. The performance of two commonly used intensive care humidifiers, the Kendal Conchatherm and the Fisher and Paykel FP310 have been assessed at flows of 50, 75, 100, 125 and 150 l.min −1. Their performance when using two humidifiers connected in parallel and in series was also studied. At afresh gas flow of 100 l.min−1 the single Conchatherm gave an absolute water vapour concentration of 15.6 g.m−3 and the single FP310 11.9 g.m−3. At all flows the best results were achieved using two Conchatherm humidifiers in series. It is concluded that with high continuous flow breathing systems the humidification achieved with conventional humidifiers may be inadequate and it may be necessary to combine two humidifiers to obtain clinically useful humidification.

    Costs of Videocartridges as Self-Instructional Materials in the Library (1978)

    Notes: The use of videocartridges as self-instructional material in libraries has increased considerably during recent years. An analysis of the costs of such provisions is outlined. The costs relate to a particular university, but it is suggested that the range of costs should cover most similar institutions. Full details of the assumptions and the basis of the cost analysis are included based on methods used by other workers but incorporating additional elements. A considerable investment in materials and staff is involved in a service such as this. Is it worth investing in these materials?

    Notes: The results from a survey of the support staff in 17 universities in the United Kingdom are described. The universities covered a wide range of size, date of foundation and origin. From the data some simple generalizations are deduced. The paucity of support staff in many universities is abundantly clear.
