    Notes: Abstract The neuropathological findings, including immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy, of two patients with clinical findings consistent with corticobasal degeneration (CBD) are reported. Both patients showed degeneration of the precentral cortex, the substantia nigra, the pallidum, and the thalamus. Many ballooned neurons were seen in the cerebral cortex, and argentophilic, skein-like inclusions suggesting neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) were found in the brain stem and precentral cortex in patient 1. In contrast, patient 2 clearly showed NFTs in the brain stem and dentate nucleus which were indistinguishable from those seen in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), while only a few ballooned neurons were found in the cerebral cortex. Gallyas silver stain showed many argentophilic inclusions suggesting NFTs in the brain stem, subcortical nuclei, and cerebral cortex in both patients. Immunohistochemistry for tau showed tau-positive neurons in the cerebral cortex, brain stem, subcortical nuclei and spinal cord, and tau-positive glial cells were seen in the cerebral cortex, white matter and subcortical nuclei, and thread-like structures were seen in the cerebral cortex and white matter. Electron microscopy of the brain stem showed NFTs consisting of paired helical filaments in patient 1, and paired helical filaments and straight tubules in patient 2. Immunoelectron microscopy revealed parallel tau-positive filaments in the cerebral cortex in patent 1. From the two patients, the widespread appearance of abnormal tau and NFTs is one of the essential pathological features in CBD, and it also appears that CBD and PSP have some common underlying pathological processes. Patient 2 is closer to PSP than patient 1 and suggests CBD would link to PSP.

    Notes: Abstract An autopsy case of an 83-year-old Japanese woman with pancreatic cancer with significantly elevated serum α-fetoprotein levels is reported. The pancreatic tumor was a mucinous cystadeno-carcinoma with multiple metastasis to the liver. The immunohistochemistry for α-fetoprotein revealed positive reactivity in the cytoplasm of cancer cells in the primary and liver metastatic lesions. The current case is the first reported in which mucinous cystadenocarcinoma of the pancreas produced α-fetoprotein.

    Notes: To study performance and reproducibility of photodiodes (PDs) on Si in the long-wavelength region, InAlAs/InGaAs metal-semiconductor-metal PDs were fabricated on high-quality heteroepitaxial InP layers on Si substrates. A dark current of 0.5–2×10−8 A and a responsivity of 0.05–0.15 A/W were reproducibly obtained, at least at one of the ±5 V bias voltages. These dark currents and responsivity are similar to those of PDs with the same structure fabricated on InP substrates. The PDs on Si have pulse responses with full widths at half-maximum of 150–600 ps.

    Notes: Abstract We report serial neuroradiological studies in a patient with focal cerebritis in the head of the left caudate nucleus. On the day after the onset of symptoms, CT showed an ill-defined low density lesion. The lack of contrast enhancement appeared to be the most important finding for differentiating focal cerebritis from an encapsulated brain abscess or a tumour. MRI two days later revealed the centre of the lesion to be of slightly low intensity on T1-weighted inversion recovery (IR) images and very low intensity on T2-weighted spin echo images, which appeared to correspond to the early cerebritis stage of experimentally induced cerebritis and brain abscess. Ten days after the onset of symptoms, CT revealed a thin ring of enhancement in the head of the caudate nucleus, and a similar small ring was seen in the hypothalamus 16 days after the onset, corresponding to the late cerebritis stage. MRI nine days later revealed ill-defined high signal lesions within the involved area on the T1-weighted IR images. To our knowledge, this is the first published MRI documentation of the early cerebritis stage developing into an encapsulated brain abscess. The mechanisms underlying of these radiographic changes are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract To determine the possible involvement of reactive oxygen species in ovulation, dynamic aspects of superoxide dismutase (SOD) isozyme were studied in the ovaries of rats by in situ hybridization histochemistry. Previously, mRNA levels of ovarian manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) were reported markedly to increase whilst enzymic activity of Mn-SOD decreased during the ovulatory process after treating immature rats with 10 and 5 Units, respectively, of pregnant mare serum gonadotrophin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG). Levels of Cu/Zn-SOD activity and Cu/Zn-SOD mRNA were reported to remain unchanged throughout ovulation. This increase in the Mn-SOD mRNA level was shown in the present study by in situ hybridization to be localized to the theca interna cells throughout the PMSG/HCG-induced ovulatory process. The observations suggest that the turnover rate of Mn-SOD but not Cu/Zn-SOD increases specifically in the mitochondria of these cells. SOD has been postulated to play important roles in steroidogenesis. The relationship is discussed between mitochondrial functions in steroid-secreting cells and superoxide radicals and related metabolite(s).

    Notes: Abstract Cluster-size dependence of alloying behavior in nm-sized atom clusters has been studied by transmission electron microscopy, using clusters in the Au-Cu system. It was revealed that occurrence of rapid spontaneous alloying becomes more difficult with increasing cluster size. In gold clusters of approximately 4 nm in the mean size, a rapid dissolution of copper atoms took place and homogeneously mixed Au-Cu alloy clusters were formed. In gold clusters of approximately 10 nm in the mean size, rapid alloying of copper took place only at a shell-shaped region beneath the free surface of individual clusters and pure gold was retained at the central region of clusters. In gold clusters of approximately 30 nm in the mean size, no rapid alloying of copper was induced. The ease with which spontaneous alloying takes place is discussed in terms of the lattice softening in atom clusters.

    Notes: Abstract The alloying behavior of antimony atoms into nm-sized indium clusters has been studied in situ by TEM. When antimony atoms are vapor-deposited onto nm-sized indium clusters, a rapid dissolution of antimony atoms into indium clusters takes place and as a result InSb compound clusters are successfully formed. Such spontaneous alloying occurs even at ambient temperature. InSb clusters thus formed have the wurtzite structure. When these InSb clusters are annealed at 533 K, their structure changes into the sphalerite structure, which is the structure of the equilibrium phase of the bulk In50Sb50. The appearance of wurtzite-type InSb by spontaneous alloying is discussed in terms of ionicity of bonds in InSb.
