    Notes: Abstract. Satellite RNA of bamboo mosaic potexvirus (satBaMV) is a linear RNA molecule which encodes a 20-kDa nonstructural protein. Sequences of seven different satBaMV isolates from bamboo hosts in three genera showed 0.7% to 7.5% base variation which spanned the whole RNA molecule. However, the putative 20-kDa open reading frame was all preserved in these isolates. The phylogenetic relationship based on the nucleotide sequence did not show particular grouping of satBaMV from the host in one genus; neither was the grouping of satBaMV evident by location of sampling. Putative secondary structures of the 3′ untranslated regions showed a basic pattern with conserved hexanucleotides (ACCUAA) and polyadenylation signal (AAUAAA) located in the loop regions. Although the satBaMV-encoded 20-kDa protein is a nonstructural protein, its predicted secondary structure contains eight-stranded β-sheets which may form ``jelly-roll'' structure similar to that found in capsid protein encoded by satellite virus of panicum mosaic virus.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: The pharmacokinetics and bioavailability of artemether and dihydroartemisinin were investigated in eight Thai males following the administration of single oral and intramuscular doses of artemether (300 mg) in a randomized two-way cross-over study. Results: Both oral and intramuscular artemether were well-tolerated. In most cases, artemether and dihydroartemisinin were detected in plasma after 30 min and declined to levels below the limit of detection within 18–24 h. Compared with intramuscular administration, oral administration of artemether resulted in a relatively rapid but incomplete absorption [Cmax: 474 vs 540 ng · ml−1; t max: 2.0 vs 3.9 h; AUC: 2.17 vs 5.20 μg · h · ml−1]. Geographic means of lag-time and absorption half-life (t 1/2a) of oral vs intramuscular artemether were 0.28 and 1.1 h vs 0.30 and 2 h, respectively. t 1/2z was significantly shortened after the oral dose [2.8 vs 6.9 h]. Mean oral bioavailability relative to intramuscular administration was 43.2%. The ratio of the AUCs of artemether to dihydroartemisinin was significantly lower after the oral than after the intramuscular dose (geometric mean: 0.29 vs 0.60).

    Notes: Abstract The BPA eight-chain molecular network model is introduced into the finite element formulation of elastic-plastic large deformation. And then, the tensile deformation localization development of the amorphous glassy circular polymeric bars (such as polycarbonates) is numerically simulated. The simulated results are compared with experimental ones, and very good consistence between numerical simulation and experiment is obtained, which shows the efficiency of the finite element analysis. Finally, the influences of the microstructure parameterS ss on tensile neck-propagation and triaxial stress effect are studied.

    TRANSGENIC ANIMALS AS NEW APPROACHES IN PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDIES (1997)

    Notes: Abstract Transgenic animals are becoming useful tools for pharmacological studies. The use of transgenic technology raises two types of questions, "How are transgenic animals made?" and "What types of pharmacological questions can be answered using transgenic technologies?" Answers to these questions are discussed in this review. The production of animals with specific genetic alteration can be achieved by two strategies. The first involves the simple addition of DNA sequences to the chromosomes. The second strategy is to select particular genetic loci for site-specific changes. There are two well-established procedures for simple introduction of DNA into an animal genome, pronuclear DNA injection and transduction using a retrovirus. In contrast, methods for targeting specific DNA sequences to definite sites in the chromosomes are evolving rapidly. Some of these procedures can be used in combination to make a different variety of gene alterations in animals. Pharmacological studies where transgenic technology has been extensively used are discussed, including studies in the cardiovascular system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, cancer, and toxicology.

    INTERACTION OF EXOGENOUS OUABAIN AND CHRONIC MINERALOCORTICOID TREATMENT IN THE KIDNEY OF THE CONSCIOUS SHEEP (1997)

    Notes: 1. Ouabain is known to have natriuretic effects only at high doses, and therefore if endogenously produced ouabain has a role in the regulation of sodium excretion, the renal response to ouabain must be increased substantially in certain physiological situations. The aim of this study is to determine whether treatment with the mineralocorticoid, aldosterone, potentiates that natriuretic response to ouabain.2. Six conscious sheep received renal arterial infusion of either vehicle or aldosterone (3 μg/h). Forty hours after commencement of infusion ouabain was infused into the renal artery at 400 μg/h for 60min. A second infusion of ouabain was administered on the 6th day of aldosterone treatment.3. In the absence of aldosterone, the effects on sodium excretion produced by ouabain infusion at 400 μg/h into the renal artery were variable and not statistically significant. Ouabain infusion after 40 h of aldosterone treatment increased sodium excretion from 40 ± 14 to 676 ± 69 μmol/min in the second hour following cessation of ouabain infusion (P〈 0.001). Ouabain infusion after 6 days of aldosterone treatment increased sodium excretion similarly. Ouabain-stimulated sodium excretion was significantly greater during aldosterone treatment compared to vehicle treatment (P〈0.05). In contrast, no enhancement of effect was observed after acute treatment with aldosterone.4. These results demonstrate potentiation of the natriuretic response to ouabain infusion by chronic mineralocorticoid treatment and suggest a potential role of endogenous digitalislike factor in the physiological control of sodium homeo stasisaldo sterone, endogenous digitalis-like factor, ouabain, sodium excretion.

    Herpes zoster in three healthy children immunized with varicella vaccine (Oka/Biken); the causative virus differed from vaccine strain on PCR analysis of the IV variable region (R5) and of a PstI-site region (1997)

    Notes: This study was undertaken to determine whether the causative virus was a vaccine-derived or wild-type virus when zoster occurred in healthy children immunized with varicella vaccine (Oka/Biken). The DNAs of clinical isolated strains and vaccine strain (Oka/Biken) were analysed by the polymerase chain reaction with two sets of primers for the variable region IV (R5 tandem direct reiterations, TDR) and for the region with a PstI site in a middle portion of the long unique segment of the varicella zoster virus genome. Of six zoster patients after vaccination with Biken, three clinical isolates were examined and had two copies in R5 TDR and were PstI-site positive. Therefore, these strains were different from the vaccine-type strain (Oka/Biken), which had two copies in R5 TDR and was PstI-site-negative. The mean age of onset of zoster was 4 years. The mean age of vaccination was 25 months. The mean interval between vaccination and onset of zoster was 22 months. Hence the results indicate that the causative virus of zoster in healthy children immunized with varicella vaccine (Oka/Biken) was wild type and differed from the vaccine strain. Some vaccinees probably do not have protective immunity for a long time after immunization because the mean interval between vaccination and onset of zoster was 22 months.

    Notes: Three photoluminescence (PL) bands at 340–370, 400–430, and 740 nm were observed at room temperature in a-Si:H:O films fabricated by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition without any postprocessing. The violet-blue emission is very strong and stable, and its intensity is closely related to the oxygen content in the films, which can be controlled by the applied dc biases on the sample substrates during deposition. The first two PL peaks are ascribed to Si–O related species, and the last one to the quantum size effect of the nanocrystallites embedded in the a-Si:H:O matrix. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Nitrogen ions were implanted into ZnSxSe1−x epilayers grown on p-GaAs (100) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Dopant activation and annealing out the implant damage were achieved by a postannealing process in a N2 ambient. Schottky structures employing the implanted p-type ZnSxSe1−x were fabricated and device efficacy was examined by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, current–voltage (I–V), current–voltage temperature (I–V–T), and high frequency capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurements. PL spectra showed a clear donor–acceptor pair (DAP) recombination at an energy of 2.735 and 2.72 eV, in both MBE and MOCVD ZnSSe epilayers, respectively, regardless of the postannealing temperatures. The diode conduction in forward bias proceeds by the combination of thermionic and tunneling emission. C–V measurement proved the maximum doping concentration to be around 1017 cm−3 after ion implantation. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Effects of rolling conditions on microstructure and magnetic properties of thin gauged 3% Si–Fe sheets (abstract) : The 41st annual conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1997)

    Notes: To match the requirements for development of transformer cores with lower iron losses, many new materials are under development including amorphous materials, 6.5% Si–Fe sheets and thin gauged 3% Si–Fe sheets. Among these materials, the thin gauged 3% Si–Fe sheets are attracting attention due to their good magnetic properties and scientific interest. Arai et al. reported that the magnetic properties of the sheets were comparable to those of the amorphous materials and (110)[001] preferred orientation of the sheets are developed by tertiary recrystallization.1 The 100 μm thick 3% Si–Fe sheets were prepared via conventional metallurgical processes including melting and casting, hot rolling to 25 mmT at 1200 °C, first cold rolling to 0.5 mmT, intermediate annealing at 800 °C for 30 min, second cold rolling to 0.25 mmT, intermediate annealing at 800 °C for 30 min, final cold rolling to 100 μm and final annealing at 1200 °C for 1 h in a vacuum of 5×10−6 Torr. Among these processes, the cold rolling process is an important one because preferred orientation of the sheets was developed in the process. Nakano et al. reported that there was an optimum cold rolling ratio to get required magnetic properties of the sheets.2 Recently, we found that the reduction rate, i.e., number of passes, as well as reduction ratio affected the preferred orientation and magnetic properties of the sheets. The number of passes in the first cold rolling process was changed from 7 to 60 and B10 values of the final sheets were changed from 1.30 to 1.84 T according to the number of passes. From x-ray experiments, it was found that intensity of (110) peak in the cold rolled and annealed sheets strongly affected the magnetic properties of the final sheets. We will discuss the relationship between the reduction rate and preferred orientation, and magnetic properties of the thin gauged 3% Si–Fe sheets. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
