    Notes: Abstract Summary An injection of a local anesthetics in the paravertebral region produces an analgesic field on the same side of the body, a paravertebral block. One point in question about this block is whether the local anesthetic spreads from the thoracic to the lumbar level of the paravertebral region. The purpose of this study was to find how the anesthetic fluid traveled to the lumbar paravertebral region, if at all. Twelve cadavers were used in this study. 15 ml of crimson dye was injected into the paravertebral region at the 11th thoracic level. The viscerae were removed so that we could examine the dye spread. While the crimson dye spread in the endothoracic fascia posterior to the parietal pleura, it also spread downward in the fascia mostly along the splanchnic nerves. At the upper surface of the diaphragm the dye spread laterally in the fascia, and entered the abdominal cavity through the medial and lateral arcuate ligaments. In the abdominal cavity, the dye was found to have spread so widely in the transversalis fascia that the subcostal, iliohypogastric, ilioinguinal, genitofemoral, lateral femoral cutaneous and femoral nerves were involved. We concluded that the dye in the thoracic paravertebral region can enter the abdominal cavity through the medial and lateral arcuate ligaments. This study explained possible fluid communication between the thoracic and lumbar paravertebral regions and confirmed our former clinical observations. The result is important for the future clinical application of paravertebral anesthesia.

    Notes: Co–P powders were produced by chemical reduction. The powders had a spherical shape with an average diameter of about 1 μm. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry studies confirmed that the powders were amorphous. The amorphous powders showed higher saturation magnetization than the crystalline counterparts. Heat treatment of the powders above the crystallization temperature resulted in the formation of fcc Co, hcp Co, and Co2P phases. The saturation magnetization of the annealed powders monotonically decreased as the annealing temperature increased. On the other hand, the coercivity of the annealed powders rapidly increased with increasing annealing temperature. The powders annealed at 600 °C had a saturation magnetization of 100 emu/g with a coercivity of 500 Oe. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Background: The effect of activin on differentiated cells is known to be different from that on undifferentiated cells. Cultured gastric epithelial cells in complete serum-free conditions grew into matured mucous cells after treatment with epidermal growth factor (EGF). Aim: To elucidate the effect of activin on the growth of differentiated and undifferentiated gastric mucosal cells. Methods: Cultured guinea pig gastric epithelial cells were prepared using the method of Ogihara et al. 1Synthesis of activin was analysed by Western blot using monoclonal anti-activin A antibody. Cell proliferation was assessed by counting the number of cells. Mucin production was assessed by histochemical study using periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) reaction. Results: Western blot analysis indicated that activin was synthesized in cultured guinea pig gastric mucosal cells. One hundred nanomolar EGF induced a 3-fold increase in cell count and the appearance of PAS-positive granules. Five nanograms activin per millilitre without EGF stimulated proliferation of the cells that showed almost negative PAS staining. When activin was added after treatment with 100 n m EGF for 24 h, cell proliferation induced by EGF was inhibited by activin at concentrations higher than 5 ng/mL. Conclusion: These results suggest that activin stimulates proliferation of undifferentiated cells and inhibits growth of differentiated cells.

    Notes: Abstract The hydrograph of a small drainage basin was separated into the components of direct runoff, soil water runoff, and ground water runoff, by a method using a stable isotope (18O and deuterium) to analyze its hydrological characteristics. It shows that the direct runoff consists of rainwater during the event, soil water runoff originating from the latest rainwater before the event, and groundwater runoff is a perfect mixture of rainwater brought to the catchment throughout the year. If these water masses constitute a triangle on a δD–δ18O diagram, they are independent of each other, and the separation gives a unique result. A comparison of the above results with the hydrograph separation in terms of the response time using a tank model led to an estimation of the flow path and dynamics of each runoff component. This study investigates the mixing process involved with these runoff components and, further, identifies physical properties to be observed in the field to provide for a more detailed analysis of the runoff process.

    Notes: Abstract: The contribution of a ππ-exchange three-body force to the three-nucleon binding energy is calculated in terms of a πN amplitude. The latter is based on a meson-theoretical model of πN interaction developed by the Jülich group. Similar to a previous study based on simple phenomenological πN potentials a very small effect of the resulting three-body force is found. Possible origins of the two-orders-of-magnitude discrepancy between the present result and the values obtained for the Tucson-Melbourne three-body force are investigated. Evidence is provided that this discrepancy is most likely due to strikingly different off-shell properties of the πN amplitudes underlying the two approaches.

    Notes: Abstract A lithium–manganese oxide, Li x MnO2 (x = 0.30.6), has been synthesized by heating a mixture (Li/Mn ratio = 0.30.8) of electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) and LiNO3 in air at moderate temperature, 260 ∘C. The formation of the Li–Mn–O phase was confirmed by X-ray diffraction, atomic absorption and electrochemical measurements. Electrochemical properties of the Li–Mn–O were examined in LiClO4-propylene carbonate electrolyte solution. About 0.3 Li in Li x MnO2 (x = 0.30.6) was removed on initial charging, resulting in characteristic two discharge plateaus around 3.5 V and 2.8 V vs Li/Li+. The Li x MnO2 synthesized by heating at Li/Mn ratio = 0.5 demonstrated higher discharge capacity, about 250 mAh (g of oxide)−1 initially, and better cyclability as a positive electrode for lithium secondary battery use as compared to EMD.
