    Notes: Abstract It has been reported that tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is capable of inducing vascular injury, and interleukin 6 (IL-6) of inducing production of acute phase proteins and the maturation of megakaryocytes. Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis with severe inflammation. We investigated whether TNF-α and IL-6 activities in serum from patients with KD differs from those in anaphylactoid purpura (AP) and measles. Serum TNF-α levels were measured by a sandwich enzyme immunoassay and IL-6 activities in serum were assessed by a colourimetric assay. Both KD and AP patients but not patients with measles had increased serum TNF-α levels during the acute stage. With respect to IL-6, patients with KD and measles, but not AP, had increased IL-6 activities in serum during the acute stage. IL-6 activities in serum of KD patients correlated with serum C-reactive protein levels and correlated to some extent with maximum platelet counts during the course of illness. These results suggest that KD differs from AP and measles regarding both cytokines. The combination of TNF-α, which may be responsible for severe vascular injury, and IL-6, which may be responsible for severe inflammation, may play an important role in acute KD.

    Denture mobility with six degrees of freedom during function (1998)

    Notes: SUMMARY The purpose of this study was (1) to assemble and verify a system to measure the three-dimensional (3-D) movement of the upper and lower complete dentures and the movement of the mandible simultaneously, and (2) to analyse the relation between denture movements and the path of closure of the mandible during function. A 3-D motion capture system with four infrared TV cameras was used for this purpose. The relation between the dentures and the mandibular movements was analysed through the change of the inner product of normal vectors of the denture occlusal planes and mandibular planes. The mandibular movements were classified into two types the normal stroke (the path of closure was on the ipsilateral side of mastication) and the reverse stroke (on the contralateral side). The results showed that the system could measure the denture mobility within a 0·3 mm error. The mobility of the upper dentures had a correlation to the path of closure of the mandible regardless of the working side or nonworking side, and the lower dentures had a tendency to move toward the working side.

    Notes: Movements of soft tissues surrounding the oral cavity, especially lips and cheeks, have a strong influence on mastication and phonetics. They also influence the relationship between a denture and its oral environment. The purpose of this study was to develop a three-dimensional measuring system for soft tissue movement. This system consisted of two video trackers placed stereographically and a computer. In addition, one video tracker was connected for measuring mandibular movements. The accuracy of this system was evaluated using computerized XYZ pulse stage. The resolution of this system was 0·10×0·10×0·10 mm, when the measurement was carried out in the area of the 24·0 (X)×20·0 (Y)×20·0 (Z) mm with a working distance of 500 mm and a frequency of 120 Hz. In the present study, the lip movements of a dentulous subject with mandibular movements during chewing peanuts were analysed using this system. The new system demonstrated its value for analysing soft tissue movement.

    Edge plasma fluctuations and transport in a reversed-field pinch (1994)

    Notes: Edge plasma fluctuations are studied with inserted triple Langmuir probes and magnetic coils in the TPE-1RM20 reversed-field pinch [Y. Yagi et al., in Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1992 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1993), Vol. 2, p. 611]. Two-point measurements show that density and potential fluctuations have relatively low mode numbers (m〈3, n〈40). High coherence (γ=0.5) with magnetic field fluctuations and similar mode spectra suggest that density and potential fluctuations are mainly caused by electromagnetic turbulence. Broadband magnetic fluctuations are dominated by m=0, low-n modes and internally resonant m=1 and m=2 modes. A coherent (f=20–30 kHz) m=0, low-n mode is also observed. Particle flux driven by electrostatic electric field fluctuations is 50%–100% of total flux obtained from Dα line intensity measurement. Low-frequency fluctuations (f〈100 kHz) give the main contribution to the total flux. Electrostatic fluctuation driven electron energy flux is only of the order of 10% of total nonradiative power loss.

    Measurement of the dynamo effect in a plasma (1996)

    Notes: A series of detailed experiments has been conducted in three laboratory plasma devices to measure the dynamo electric field along the equilibrium field line (the α effect) arising from the correlation between the fluctuating flow velocity and magnetic field. The fluctuating flow velocity is obtained from probe measurement of the fluctuating E×B drift and electron diamagnetic drift. The three major findings are the following: (1) The α effect accounts for the dynamo current generation, even in the time dependence through a "sawtooth'' cycle; (2) at low collisionality the dynamo is explained primarily by the widely studied pressureless magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model, i.e., the fluctuating velocity is dominated by the E×B drift; (3) at high collisionality, a new "diamagnetic dynamo'' is observed, in which the fluctuating velocity is dominated by the electron diamagnetic drift. In addition, direct measurements of the helicity flux indicate that the dynamo activity transports magnetic helicity from one part of the plasma to another, but the total helicity is roughly conserved, verifying Taylor's [Phys. Rev. Lett. 33, 1139 (1974); Rev. Mod. Phys. 58, 741 (1986)] conjecture. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Behavior of magnetic field fluctuations during dynamo activity and its effect on energy confinement in a reversed-field pinch (1991)

    Notes: Fluctuations of magnetic fields and related magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) phenomena are investigated in the TPE-1RM15 reversed-field pinch experiment [Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion Research, 1986 (IAEA, Vienna, 1987), Vol. 2, p. 453]. Mode analysis of fluctuations measured by multichannel coils reveals that nonlinear interactions between m=1 and m=0 modes, such as nonlinear coupling and phase locking, play significant roles during a dynamo event (i.e., the flux genertion process in the sustainment phase), resulting in transition from an unstable state to a stable state. Behaviors of these fluctuations are found to be toroidally asymmetrical due to strong nonlinearity. Study of the current ramping experiment shows that the inverse of global energy confinement time depends on the squared fluctuation level offset linearly, which is consistent with the prediction of the transport model based on the diffusion of stochastic field lines. By examining the dependence of the resistive part of the loop voltage on the fluctuation level, the input power to the electrons and ions are estimated to be about 70% and 30% of the total input power, respectively.

    Coherent magnetic field fluctuations and locked modes in a reversed-field pinch (1993)

    Notes: Magnetic field fluctuations have been measured in the TPE-1RM20 reversed-field pinch [in Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research, Proceedings of the 14th International Conference, 1992, Würzburg (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1992) Paper IAEA-CN-56/C-4-3]. The dominant modes are m=1/n=7–9, resonant near the axis. The fluctuations are coherent, corresponding to nearly continuous rigid body rotation with poloidal and toroidal frequencies of fθ=130–170 kHz and fφ=11–14 kHz, respectively. Discrete dynamo events (in which toroidal magnetic flux is generated) of two different types are observed at high values of pinch parameter (aitch-theta(approximately-greater-than)1.6). The first type is triggered by a single, wall-locked m=1/n=7 mode. The slowing down of the mode rotation is in rough agreement with a simulation which assumes the effect of induced eddy current in the vacuum liner. In the subsequent relaxation event, the locked mode decays and the m=1 spectrum cascades to higher-n modes. However, in some cases the saturated m=1/n=7 mode exists for periods up to t=0.4 msec, resembling single helicity Ohmic states. The second type of event is characterized by phase locking of several m=1/n=7–9 modes and the appearance of large m=0/n=1–5 modes. Mode rotation continues through the event, similar to the normal machine operating condition.
