    Notes: Pressed-powder cosmetics with an extremely soft and light sense of touch were prepared using a novel ultra-low pressure molding technology. These novel pressed-powder cosmetics have a very high porosity creating a light silky feeling. Furthermore, with this novel molding, large quantities of organic crystalline powder can be incorporated into the cosmetics resulting in a good spreadability and smooth sense of touch. The novel molding technology named soft press molding developed in the current study involves several characteristic stages: (i) mixing the binder dispersion; (ii) soft compression; and (iii) drying (volatilizing a disperse medium). The first process is the mixing of water-repellent powder with an aqueous dispersion of elastic film-forming polymer into a pendular or funicular state. After compressing and drying, an interspersed polymer effectively combines the particles forming contact between the particles. In this study, calcium lauroyl taurate (CaLT) was used as an example of an organic crystalline powder to provide a silky smooth sense of touch to a powdery foundation. CaLT particles deform to a thin layer readily when applied to skin, creating a smooth pleasing sensation while spreading. Conventional high-pressure molding causes deformation during compression resulting in hard-caking of the molded cosmetics. However, by using soft press molding, the powdery foundation can contain more than 30 wt% of CaLT without hard-caking, and the resultant powdery foundation expresses an extremely smooth sensation to the touch. Furthermore, this powdery foundation shows a natural finish approximating bare skin due to the deformation of a thin layer on application restricting the light scattering, a characteristic property of a powder.

    Notes: A zirconium sputtering ion source was studied. The argon plasma discharged by electron cyclotron resonance was used as the sputtering working plasma. A cylindrical-type target was used as the sputter target. The zirconium flux is evaluated at the downstream side of the ion source by varying the magnetic field profile of the ion source. And a magnetic profile dependence of the zirconium flux was observed. Zirconium ions and argon ions were detected by a quadrupole mass spectrometer. From the zirconium flux and the ion current, the ionization efficiency was evaluated. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Carbon monoxide (CO) can be detected in exhaled air and is increased in asthmatic patients not treated with corticosteroids. However, it is uncertain whether exhaled CO is related to severity of asthma.To study whether exhaled CO is related to severity of asthma in clinical courses, exhaled CO concentrations were measured on a CO monitor by vital capacity manoeuvre in 20 mild asthmatics treated with inhaled β2-agonists alone, 20 moderate asthmatics treated with inhaled corticosteroids, and 15 stable asthmatics treated with high dose inhaled corticosteroids and oral corticosteroids once a month over 1 years. Exhaled CO concentrations were also measured in 16 unstable severe asthmatics who visited the hospital every 7 or 14 days for treatment with high dose inhaled corticosteroids and oral corticosteroids.The mean values of exhaled CO in severe asthma over 1 year were 6.7 ± 9.5 p.p.m. (n = 31, mean ± SD) and significantly higher than those of non-smoking control subjects (1.2 ± 0.9 p.p.m., n = 20, P 〈 0.01). Exhaled CO concentrations in unstable severe asthmatics were significantly higher than those in stable severe asthmatics. However, exhaled CO concentrations in mild and moderate asthmatics did not differ significantly from those in non-smoking control subjects (P 〉 0.20). There was a significant relationship between the exhaled CO concentrations and forced expiratory volume in one second in all asthmatic patients.These findings suggest that exhaled CO concentrations may relate to the severity of asthma and measurements of exhaled CO concentrations may be a useful means of monitoring airway inflammation in asthma.

    Notes: Background Asthma exacerbations are frequently associated with rhinovirus (RV) infections. However, the contribution of airway submucosal gland (SMG) to exacerbations of asthma in RV respiratory infection has not been studied.Objective This study was undertaken to examine whether RV-infected human respiratory SMG cells produce pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines for eosinophils, and augment eosinophil transmigration across human airway epithelium.Methods We infected cultured human tracheal SMG cells with RV14, collected culture media at 1, 3, and 5 days after infection, and measured the chemotactic activity for eosinophils in the culture supernatant using a 48-well microchemotaxis chamber and a 51Cr-labelled eosinophil transmigration assay.Results Exposing a confluent human tracheal SMG cell monolayer to RV14 consistently led to infection. Human SMG cells with RV infection secreted soluble factors activating human eosinophil chemotaxis into the culture supernatant in a time-dependent manner, and the culture supernatant significantly augmented the transmigration of 51Cr-labelled eosinophils through human airway epithelial cell layers from the basal to mucosal side. These effects were completely abolished by a mixture of a monoclonal antibody regulated on activation, normal T cells expressed and secreted (RANTES) and an antibody to granulocyte macrophage-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF).Conclusion These results suggest that human respiratory SMG cells may augment eosinophil transmigration across the airway epithelium through the secretion of RANTES and GM-CSF after RV infection, and may contribute to exacerbations of asthma.

    Notes: Extra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis: two familial cases with synchronous and metachronous multicentric hyalinizing nodulesAims:  Extra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis is an uncommon tumour. We present here two exceptional familial cases of extra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis, one of which was synchronous and metachronous.Methods and results:  The first patient was a 37-year-old woman who had noted a tumour growing on the dorsum of her right foot when she was 12 years old. She underwent excision of the tumour but in the following year the tumour recurred locally and grew into multiple nodules. Subsequently, multicentric tumours appeared in her knee, distal and posterior aspects of her thigh, right back and right anterior shoulder. Polyostotic fibrous dysplasia of the femur and cranium was found on radiological examination. The second patient was a 74-year-old man, the uncle of the first patient. He underwent an excisional operation of a tumour on the internal malleolus surface of his fibula when he was 46 years old. The tumour recurred 7 years later and was excised. His post-operative course has been uneventful. The histology of the primary and recurrent tumours was distinctive and consistently showed hyalinizing scar-like features.Conclusions:  Familial cases of extra-abdominal desmoid fibromatosis with extensive multicentric lesions and distinctive hyalinizing scar-like features are described. Recently, attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis with familial desmoid fibromatosis has been recognized, and familial desmoid fibromatosis without adenomatous polyposis may also be one of its variants. Although the present cases have no history of colon polyposis or carcinoma, monitoring of the intestinal tract would seem to be indicated.

    Notes: Aims:  We present three distinctive uterine tumours which exhibited immature smooth muscle differentiation mimicking smooth muscle cells of the fetal uterus.Methods and results:  The patients were 45, 46 and 49 years old, and all of them had simple hysterectomies. Grossly, all tumours were present in the uterine body, and two of the three tumours were well demarcated 60-mm and 85-mm lesions, and the other tumour was a small 25-mm incidental lesion within multiple conventional leiomyomas. The tumours had varied histological features and were composed of round epithelioid, rhabdoid and large vacuolated cells intermingled with spindle-shaped cells to various degrees. Although their round vesicular nuclei showed mild to moderate variation in size, prominent nuclear atypia was not seen. Necrosis and mitotic figures suggesting biological aggressiveness were not present in any of the tumours. Immunohistochemically, tumour cells were intensely positive for desmin and α-smooth muscle actin, whereas positivity for heavy molecular weight caldesmon was restricted. In addition, two cases were positive for non-muscle myosin heavy chain (SMemb). Ultrastructurally, most tumour cells contained various amounts of intermediate filaments which were occasionally abundant and aggregated as in rhabdoid cells. Well-developed myofilaments with focal densities were observed in only a few tumour cells. Intermediate filaments and bundles of thin filaments without dense bodies were often intermingled and they occasionally formed distinctive complexes with many irregular dense body-like structures and crystalloid bodies. Other cytoplasmic organelles including rather rich mitochondria, some rough endoplasmic reticulum and free ribosomes were also common.Conclusions:  These findings support their immature smooth muscle cell differentiation which mimics the mesenchymal cells of fetal uterus during 14–26 weeks of gestation. The term ‘uterine leiomyoblastoma’ is thought to be appropriate for describing these distinctive immature smooth muscle tumours.

    Notes: Fatty acid synthase is highly expressed in carcinoma, adenoma and in regenerative epithelium and intestinal metaplasia of the stomach Aims: To investigate the relation of fatty acid synthase (FAS) expression to the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancers and gastric tumorigenesis. Methods and results: FAS expression was examined immunohistochemically in 626 gastric cancers, 51 gastric adenomas, and non-neoplastic epithelium contiguous with cancer tissue including normal foveolae, intestinal metaplasia, regenerative epithelium, and gastric glands. FAS expression was found in more than 70% of gastric cancers. Interestingly, it occurred preferentially in differentiated carcinomas, male cases, and in patients over 51 years old. Although previous reports showed that FAS expression is closely related to cancer progression, in gastric cancers FAS expression had no relationship with prognosis, cancer progression as indicated by depth of invasion, venous and lymphatic permeation, and distant metastasis. Gastric tubular adenoma and intestinal metaplasia, which are thought to be associated with well-differentiated gastric carcinomas, showed a frequency of FAS expression similar to that of differentiated carcinomas; however, normal foveolae and gastric glands showed no or less FAS expression. Conclusions: FAS expression occurs at the early stage of tumorigenesis and plays important roles in the formation of precancerous foci rather than in the progression of carcinoma of the stomach.

    Notes: Aim : To characterize the histological features of intestinal Behçet's disease and simple ulcer syndrome and to clarify the possible mechanisms involved in their development by analysing the type of inflammatory infiltrates in the diseased intestine and the expression of adhesion molecules on endothelial cells.Methods and results : Tissue samples from 10 patients diagnosed as having intestinal Behçet's disease or simple ulcer syndrome were studied. Immunohistochemical studies were performed on paraffin-embedded tissue using a labelled streptavidin–biotin method. In all cases, phlebitis was remarkably seen in submucosal inflammatory lesions, but the adjacent arteries were not affected. Inflammatory infiltrates around the affected vessels consisted of neutrophils and mononuclear cells, and neutrophils predominated over CD68+ macrophages and lymphocytes. The majority of mononuclear cells were CD3+ T cells, and CD4+ cells were more frequent than CD8+ T cells. As for adhesion molecule expression, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, but not vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, was expressed in most endothelial cells of the vessels with phlebitis, some of which were also positive for HLA-DR.Conclusion : Neutrophilic phlebitis may be involved in the pathogenesis of intestinal Behçet's disease and simple ulcer syndrome.
