    Notes: Background Gelatin-specific cell-mediated immunity develops in subjects inoculated with gelatin containing DTaP vaccine. However, it is not yet known whether such established sensitization to gelatin disappears or persists with time.Objective The aim of this study was to follow the patients with gelatin sensitization elicited by DTaP vaccination for their lymphocyte responsiveness and IgE, IgG antibody specific to gelatin over several years and to compare the activities with those at the time of enrolment into the study.Methods We studied 28 subjects who developed positive lymphocyte proliferation test (LPT) after receiving gelatin containing DTaP vaccine and eight subjects who had a negative LPT after inoculation of non-gelatin DTaP. Determination of IgE, IgG antibodies and specific lymphoproliferative response directed against gelatin were performed at enrolment and on follow up.Results None of the subjects had antibody to gelatin at enrolment and none developed gelatin IgE or IgG during follow-up. There was no significant difference in the SIs of the subjects receiving gelatin DTaP (P = 0.150, 95% CI, −0.198–0.032), whereas lymphocyte activity to gelatin increased between enrolment and follow-up in the subjects with non-gelatin DTaP (P = 0.011, 95% CI, 0.063–0.338).Conclusion Gelatin-specific lymphocyte activity persists at comparable levels for more than 3 years in subjects who acquire a positive LPT response to gelatin after receiving primary DTaP vaccine containing gelatin. Furthermore, five out of eight subjects initially with negative LPT to gelatin have been shown to acquire specific LPT with time.

    Notes: This study was designed to evaluate the immunogenic characteristics of enzymatically digested gelatin, ‘FreAlagin’, employing the lymphoproliferative response in subjects with gelatin hypersensitivity. Our purpose was to assess the response of primed lymphocytes to the newly developed FreAlagin and compare it to the response to conventional gelatin.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉MethodsA gelatin-specific lymphocyte proliferation test (LPT) was performed in 110 children with adverse reactions to gelatin-containing vaccines, who showed positive gelatin-specific cell-mediated immunity and were thus diagnosed as having gelatin hypersensitivity. Gelatin-specific IgE was measured in all subjects. The antigenic activity of FreAlagin to lymphocytes was compared with that of conventional bovine gelatin. Positive and negative control specimens were obtained from the patients with anaphylaxis and from subjects inoculated with gelatin-free vaccine who showed no adverse reactions in order to establish the fluorometric ELISA system to determine IgE antibody to gelatin and LPT.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉ResultsThe lymphocyte activity against FreAlagin was much less than that to Wako gelatin and more than half of the subjects who reacted positively to Wako gelatin had a negative LPT to FreAlagin. Although 47% of the subjects had positive LPTs to FreAlagin, all but two still had lower SIs to FreAlagin compared with Wako gelatin.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉ConclusionWe conclude that the antigenic activity of FreAlagin as measured by the cell-mediated immune response is significantly less than that of conventional bovine gelatin. However, it is still necessary to perform clinical trials to show a reduced or absent clinical reactivity to FreAlagin in sensitized patients to conventional gelatin.

    Surface production of CF, CF2, and C2 radicals in high-density CF4/H2 plasmas (2000)

    Notes: Surface production of CF, CF2, and C2 radicals in high-density CF4/H2 plasmas was examined using laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. No significant amount of surface production was observed in pure CF4 plasmas. The addition of H2 into CF4 plasmas enhanced the surface production of CFx and C2 from fluorocarbon film deposited on the chamber wall. The characteristics of the surface production in cw discharges are reported, in comparison with surface production in pulsed discharges. In addition, it has been found that the surface production rates are determined not by the partial pressure but by the flow rate of H2, suggesting the significant consumption of feedstock H2 in discharges. The surface production of CFx and C2 indicates that these radicals are not the precursors for the deposition of fluorocarbon film in the CF4/H2 plasma. The deposition mechanism of fluorocarbon film in the CF4/H2 plasma is discussed, taking into account the surface production of CFx and C2. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Background. A prospective randomized study involving gastric cancer patients was undertaken to evaluate combined adjuvant chemotherapy and the prognostic value of biologic markers. Methods. One hundred and eighty-five patients under 75 years of age who underwent a curable resection of pathologic stage II or III gastric cancer were randomly assigned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy containing either: mitomycin C (MMC) plus oral 5-fluorouracil (FU) (MF), epirubicin plus oral FU (EF), or oral FU (F). Tumor tissue collected at surgery was immunohistochemically analyzed for p53 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and DNA ploidy was determined. Results. All prognostic factors were equally distributed in each arm. There was no significant difference among the groups in the 5-year overall survival. When the relationship between the biologic markers and prognosis was analyzed, the overall survival of all patients and stage III patients was poorer in those with p53 positivity, but the difference did not achieve significance. For patients with positive nodes, irrespective of the treatment regimen, p53-positivity was significantly associated with poorer prognosis (P = 0.05). In stage III patients, the survival of those with p53-positivity and DNA aneuploidy was significantly worse than that for patients with any other combination (P = 0.02). Conclusion. No survival benefit was observed with the combined chemotherapeutic regimens compared with FU alone. p53 positivity was negatively correlated to survival for node-positive and stage III patients.
