    Notes: Abstract We report a case of intrahepatic biliary calculi. A localized dilated intrahepatic duct of the left lateral segment of the liver was filled with material that showed marked hyperintensity on T1- and T2-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images. These MR findings are unusual for intrahepatic stones. Pathologically, the stones were muddy bilirubin calculi, the chemical and physical characteristics of which are surmised to have been the cause of the unusual MR findings.

    Notes: It has been known that high amounts of ‘heat shock proteins (HSPs)’ are produced under heat and other environmental stresses in cells. Recently, it was reported that HSP could also be accumulated in some dermal cells to protect the cellular proteins from damage caused by ultraviolet radiation. Here, the authors have focused on thermophilic cyanobacteria and the heat shock treatment. Thermophilic cyanobacteria are known to thrive under extreme environmental conditions, and produce distinctively high amounts of HSP when exposed to higher temperatures. We tested cell extract from heat-shocked cyanobacterial cells on a number of skin-related biological activities and found it significantly effective. The cyanobacterial cells, originally collected from a spa as hot as 55 °C, were cultivated in the laboratory at 50 °C and broken by a freeze-fracture method. The extract thus obtained had a superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity and inhibited lipid peroxide formation. We found that the extract obtained from the heat-shocked (at 63 °C) cells showed a much stronger SOD-like activity, while the inhibitory effect on lipid peroxide formation remained almost the same. Furthermore, the SOD-like activity could withstand heat up to 70 °C for as long as 1 h. Most remarkably, supplementing this heat-shocked extract strongly promoted the proliferation of human dermal fibroblast culture. Extracts from the cells grown at a regular temperature (50 °C) did not promote the proliferation of the fibroblasts. The heat-shocked extract was fractionated by ultrafiltration for further analysis. A fraction (molecular weight: 10 000–30 000) has shown the strongest activity so far. These results indicate that the heat-shocked cyanobacterial extract with its increased amounts of HSPs is a promising potent ingredient for anti-aging cosmetic materials.

    Notes: : Models were constructed to predict sensory evaluation scores from the blending ratio of coffee beans. Twenty-two blended coffees were prepared from 3 representative beans and were evaluated with respect to 10 sensory attributes by 5 coffee cup-tasters and by models constructed using the response surface method (RSM), multiple regression analysis (MRA), and a fuzzy neural network (FNN). The RSM and MRA models showed good correlations for some sensory attributes, but lacked sufficient overall accuracy. The FNN model exhibited high correlations for all attributes, clearly demonstrated the relationships between blending ratio and flavor characteristics, and was accurate enough for practical use. FNN, thus, constitutes a powerful tool for accelerating product development.

    Notes: Interferometer measurements are extremely informative in shock wave studies allowing direct evaluations of the gas density. The primary goal of the work presented is to build a laser interferometer that meets the requirements of the highest possible simplicity, economy, convenience, and ease of construction. In our experiments, we used a low average power (10 mW) He–Ne laser without complication, expense, and environmental section. The He–Ne laser interferometer with the Michelson arrangement was used to measure the line-averaged gas densities of shock waves. Temporal and spatial measurements of the density were performed for shock wave developments from high-current pulse discharges. The shock wave propagates in the radial direction of the discharge channel with supersonic speed. The shock velocity, however, decreased from 2–0.5 km/s with the distance of the shock propagation. The width of the high density region, that is in the vicinity of the shock front was compressed from 3.5 to 1.8 mm according to the time variation of the discharge current. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: For a long time, hexagonal diamond has been formed only by static and shock wave compression of well-crystallized graphites. Here, we demonstrate that cubic diamond loses its structure stability and transforms to hexagonal diamond in massive. This transformation has been completed in nanoseconds under a shock wave compression of cubic diamond, in which the shock pressure and temperature are only tens of giga pascal and hundreds of kelvin, thermodynamically being within the stability of cubic diamond. The formation of hexagonal diamond is interpreted as a direct transition (solid to solid) of cubic diamond by a kinetic mechanism due to the shear stress and enhanced temperature induced by the rapid shock wave compression. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Objectives: Recently, interleukin (IL) 4 gene polymorphisms have been analyzed in association with periodontitis. Genetic differences between Caucasian and Japanese patients with periodontitis have previously been detected. The aim of the present study was to analyze IL-4 genotypes in Caucasian and Japanese patients with aggressive periodontitis (AgP).Material and Methods: One hundred and twenty-four subjects were included in the study, 31 Japanese and 30 Caucasian patients with generalized AgP, plus 30 Japanese and 33 Caucasian healthy controls. IL-4 polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction. A logistic regression was used to investigate the possible association of the genotypes with the disease in both populations. Odds ratio (OR) estimates were analyzed for allele frequencies.Results: No significant association of IL-4 polymorphisms with the risk of AgP was determined in either population. However, the allele frequencies showed different results between populations. The carriage of the polymorphism in intron 2 was higher in Caucasian patients compared with controls (OR: 2.0, 95% confidence interval: [1.0;4.2]. Furthermore, the frequency of the IL-4 promoter/intron 2 composite genotype (PP+/IP+) in patients and controls, respectively, was found to be approximately 25% and 60% higher in the Japanese population than in the Caucasian population.Conclusion: There was no evidence of an association of IL-4 genotypes and AgP in either population, although the frequencies of the IL-4 genotypes in the Japanese and the Caucasians were different.
