    Notes: Summary Fas ligand (FasL) is highly expressed in testicular tissues and thought to be responsible for protection from allograft rejection by inducing apoptosis of anti-graft activated T cells. FasL-expressing islets have been shown to induce a granulocyte-mediated inflammatory reaction. We investigated whether a graft can be protected from alloimmune responses by manipulating the Fas/FasL-system. We transplanted allogeneic islets under the kidney capsule of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice together with testicular tissue. Significant prolongation of survival of C3H islet allograft was observed in C57BL/6 (B6) recipients transplanted with C3H testicular tissue, but not in those transplanted with C3H-gld testicular tissue expressing non-functional FasL. No significant prolongation was observed in B6-lpr recipients expressing non-functional Fas. Immunohistochemical staining of C3H testicular tissue in the composite graft showed a high expression of FasL, but not that of the C3H-gld testicular tissue. In situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUDP-biotin catalysed DNA nick-end labelling (TUNEL) staining of a composite graft of C3H islet and testicular tissue in B6 recipients demonstrated extensive apoptosis of infiltrating mononuclear cells around the graft. The protective effect of C3H testicular tissue was abrogated when anti-FasL monoclonal antibody was administered i. p. postoperatively. Our results suggest that FasL-positive testicular allografts protect composite islet allografts and indicate that manipulation of Fas/FasL mediated apoptosis is a suitable strategy for controlling rejection of islet allografts.

    Use of NaCN to increase the growth of N2-fixing bacteria in a model spermosphere mimicked by sucrose and amino acids leached by seeds (1996)

    Notes: Abstract In order to study the establishment of a spermosphere, the C2H2 reduction activity of N2-fixing bacteria isolated from river sand was examined in a simulated spermosphere in the river sand which contained sucrose, an amino acid mixture, and CN- released from plant seeds. The sand incubated with 10-10 to 10-9 mol CN- 30 g sand-1 exhibited higher C2H2 reduction activity than that without CN-. The change in the most probable number of N2 fixers with increasing quantities of CN- roughly corresponded to that in C2H2 reduction activity. However, the most probable number of non-N2-fixing bacteria decreased except for CN--tolerant ones. Both C2H2 reduction activity and proliferation of the N2 fixers isolated on a modified Burk's medium were almost similar to those in the bacteria in the sand. In contrast, the proliferation of some nonfixers decreased with an increasing CN- concentration. C2H2 reduction activity of N2 fixers cultured in combination with non-fixers exhibited a clear peak at 10-7 M CN- as for C2H2 reduction activity in the sand. We therefore speculate that cyanide evolved from seeds during a pregermination period may suppress the growth of general bacteria, but may promote the proliferation of N2 fixers, thus contributing to the establishment of a spermosphere.

    Notes: Authors have reported theses concerning the cast defect for publication in journal of Japanese FoundryEngineering Society and AFS Transactions. This is a review of these reports. There are various factors inthe casting defect that occurs in the article of casting metal, and specific of the generation factor is difficult.Moreover, it is necessary to decrease the casting defect to reduce the cost of goods manufactured andenergy of production. It is effective to the evaluation and the classification method of the casting defect toemploy Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersion Spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and ElectronProbe Micro-Analysis (EPMA). Casting defects chose the one that the incidence was high and specific ofthe generation factor is difficult, and the pinhole defect and inclusion defects were classified according tothe generation factor, and penetration defect showed the relation of physical factor, chemical factor, andthose interactions, and examined whether specific of the factor was possible by the surface analysisequipment about other defects (Blow hole, Shrinkage, Orange peel, Cold shut, Cracks and Veining)

    Notes: Lactobacillus acidophilus group bacteria (L. acidophilus, L crispatus, L. amylovorus, L. gallinarum, L. gasseri, L. johnsonii), probiotic lactic acid bacteria, were applied to meat fermentation. Of six strains, L. gasseri (predominant lacto-bacilli in human intestinal tracts) JCM1131T exhibited greatest fermentation performance in meats. This strain resisted gastric acid and bile, and would thus have no detrimental effects in the intestinal tract. Inoculation of the strain depressed the propagation of S. aureus cells and their enterotoxin production during meat fermentation. Results suggest probiotic lactic acid bacteria could be effectively utilized for meat fermentation to produce healthy meat products.

    XeCl laser ablative deposition and characterization of yttria-stabilized zirconia thin films on glass and CeO2-Sm2O3 (1992)

    Notes: Thin films have been deposited by XeCl excimer laser ablation of a bulk yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) target. The deposited thin films were characterized in terms of spatial distribution, composition, microstructure, and solid particulates on the film surface through deposition process control. The deposition of dense YSZ films, 0.5–2 μm thick, with an excellent adhesive property at 800 °C was performed on the CeO2-Sm2O3 substrate maintained at 500 °C under an O2 ambient of 5×10−2 Torr. The crystallinity of YSZ thin films was found to be promoted by post-deposition annealing. The YSZ film consisted of a cubic phase with predominant growth along the (200) plane.

    Notes: An all-perovskite-oxide transistor composed of a tetragonal perovskite PbZr0.5Ti0.5O3 (ferroelectric) and a layered perovskite Bi2Sr2CuO6 (conducting channel) is fabricated on a cubic perovskite Nb-doped SrTiO3 (gate electrode). We demonstrate a considerably large conductance modulation of Bi2Sr2CuO6 by varying the direction and magnitude of the polarization. The ratio of the ON- and OFF-state drain currents reaches 196. A memory retention time as long as about 8 h is also observed. The drain current versus the drain voltage curves analyzed by adopting a semiconductor model give fairly good agreement with the measurement data. We also discuss the advantages and future prospects of all-perovskite-oxide transistors. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
