    Notes: Summary The hemizygote of the macular mutant mice, which is clinically and neuropathologically considered to be a model of Menkes kinky hair disease (MKHD), were injected intraperitoneally four times with 10, 20, 20 and 30 μg of cupric chloride on days 4, 6, 8 and 10 after birth, respectively. Their cerebral and cerebellar cortices were chronologically examined by electron microscopy. In the cerebral cortes, only a few abnormal mitochondria with electron-lucent matrix and short peripherally located cristae were scattered in the neurons on day 14, and these had almost entirely vanished after day 21. In the cerebellar cortex, abnormal mitochondria were frequently found on day 14 in the dendrites of the Purkinje cells, whereas they were only occasionally observed in their cytoplasm. Those in the dendrites had decreased in number on day 30, and only a few of them were seen in the cerebellum after day 45. These results show that the copper therapy reduced ultrastructural abnormalities in the hemizygote of this mutant mouse.

    Notes: Summary This study was undertaken to elucidate the clinical and neuropathological effects of copper administration on the macular mutant mouse. Its hemizygote, which is considered to be a model of Menkes kinky hair disease (MKHD), was injected intraperitoneally four times with 10, 20, 20 and 30 μg of cupric chloride on days 4, 6, 8 and 10, respectively. The hemizygote's curly whiskers gradually straightened and the frequent tonic seizures and ataxia disappeared after the injections. The body weight also gradually increased. In the cerebral cortex, the dendritic arborization of the pyramidal neurons in both the normal littermate and the treated hemizygote developed with time and reached the maximum around day 60. In the treated hemizygote, however, the arborization of the dendrites was significantly poor in comparison with that in the normal littermate from day 20 to 90. In the cerebellum of the treated hemizygote, the abnormal Purkinje cells with the few somal sprouts, thick stem dendrite and/or poor arborization, which were seen in the non-treated hemizygote, were improved by day 30, while their focal dendritic swellings remained even on day 60. These results indicate that the copper therapy improves not only the clinical manifestations but also the neuropathological changes, especially in the cerebellum.

    Notes: Abstract The leaching behaviours of hot-pressed Si3N4 ceramics containing Y2O3, Al2O3 and AIN as additives and hot isostatically pressed Si3N4 without additives were studied in 0.1 to 10 M HF aqueous solutions at 50 to 80° C. Silicon and aluminium ions were dissolved into the HF solutions, but yttrium ion did not dissolve at all and formed insoluble YF3. The dissolution of silicon and aluminium ions was controlled by the surface chemical reaction and the apparent activation energies were 70.5 to 87.6 kJ mol−1, respectively. The corrosion rate increased with increasing degree of crystallization of the grain boundary phases. The corrosion resulted in roughness of the surface and degradation of the fracture strength. Si3N4 ceramics containing an amorphous phase at the grain boundaries showed the most excellent resistance to corrosion with HF solution, and kept a fracture strength of above 400 M Pa even after leaching 40% of the silicon ions.

    Notes: Abstract Si3N4-based ceramics, such as hot isostatically pressed Si3N4, hot-pressed Si3N4, hot-pressed sialons containing 0, 30, 60 and 100% a phase, were corroded by K2SO4 and K2CO3 melts at 1150 to 1300 and 925 to 1150° C, respectively. The surface chemical reaction-controlled shrinking core model adequately described the relationship between the weight loss of the specimen and time for the corrosion reactions in both K2SO4 and K2CO3 melts, and the apparent activation energies were 380 to 608 and 157 to 344 kJ mol−1, respectively. The corrosion rate in K2CO3 melt decreased with increasing content of aluminium and yttrium ions in the specimens, but no systematic relation was observed for the reaction in K2SO4 melts. The fracture strength of the specimens corroded by K2SO4 and K2CO3 melts degraded to 2/3 to 2/5 of the original values up to a 2% weight loss, and then was almost constant up to 30% weight loss.
