    Notes: Bath-induced coherence transfer effects on a time- and frequency-resolved resonant light scattering spectrum is theoretically investigated using the Markoff master equation. According to Eberly and Wódkiewicz, a general expression for an experimentally observable spectrum in terms of a molecular response function is derived within the density matrix formalism. To generalize our previous results of the bath-induced coherence transfer which were derived based on a displaced harmonic oscillator model [Y. Ohtsuki and Y. Fujimura, J. Chem. Phys. 91, 3903 (1989)], an eigenstate basis is used to represent a relevant system for investigating characteristics of the transfer. By the present model, we clarify the dependence of the bath-induced coherence transfer on the energy-level structure of the intermediate states associated with the transfer, i.e., energy mismatch effects. It is shown that if the energy mismatch of these states is smaller than dephasing rates, the bath-induced coherence transfer occurs resonantly. In the other cases, the energy mismatch brings about a modulation in the time evolution of the superposition state created by the bath-induced coherence transfer, which strongly diminishes the efficiency of the transfer. The resonance condition is derived analytically and is confirmed by numerical calculations of quantum beats induced by the bath-induced coherence transfer. The possibility of very rapid dephasing of a quantum beat signal which cannot be explained in terms of dephasing rates is also shown, when the transition moments have such values that give π-phase-shifted quantum beats in bath-induced fluorescence. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Laser-induced vibrational predesorption of molecules physisorbed on insulating substrates is theoretically investigated based on the Markoff master equation. The system vibrations, which consist of intramolecular vibrations of an admolecule and admolecule-surface vibrations, are divided by the adiabatic approximation, whereby the predesorption is represented by the nonadiabatic transitions from the bound states to the desorption continuum. By using the projection operator in the double(Liouville)-space representation, the bound-continuum couplings due to the nonadiabatic and the optical interactions are explicitly included in the master equation. The adiabatic theory is applied to CO physisorbed on a NaCl(100) surface, in which CO stretching and CO-surface vibration are chosen as the system vibrations. This two-dimensional model with a shallow Morse potential for the CO-surface potential gives a desorption rate of ∼10−4 s−1, which agrees with the experimentally measured rate by Chang and Ewing [Chem. Phys. 139, 55 (1989) and Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 2125 (1990)]. The rate equations explicitly derived from the master equation are used to analyze the desorption dynamics. It is shown that predesorption is considerably enhanced by the incoherent phonon-assisted predesorption mechanism, i.e., by thermal excitation of the CO-surface stretching in the manifold of the excited CO stretching. Excitation by a single laser is extended to the two-laser excitation scheme to accelerate the predesorption. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Quantum control of nuclear wave packets by locally designed optimal pulses (1998)

    Notes: A new approach to locally design a control pulse is proposed. This locally optimized control pulse is explicitly derived, starting with optimal control formalism, and satisfies the necessary condition for a solution to the optimal control problem. Our method requires a known function, g(t), a priori, which gives one of the possible paths within the functional space of the objective functional. A special choice of g(t)≡0 reduces the expression of the control pulse to that derived by Kosloff et al. For numerical application, we restrict ourselves to this special case; however, by combining an appropriate choice of the target operator together with the backward time-propagation technique, we apply the local control method to population inversion and to wave packet shaping. As an illustrative example, we adopt a two-electronic-surface model with displaced harmonic potentials and that with displaced Morse potentials. It is shown that our scheme successfully controls the wave packet dynamics and that it can be a convenient alternative to the optimal control method for wave packet shaping. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We present a method for the design of laser fields to control a selective preparation of enantiomers from their racemate. An expression for two components of the laser pulses [EX(t) and EY(t)] propagating along the Z axis is derived using a locally optimized control theory in the density operator formalism. This expression was applied to a selective preparation of (R-, L-) enantiomers from preoriented phosphinotioic acid (H2POSH) at low temperatures. The target operator was set for the populations to be localized in one side of the double-well potential. First, a simple one-dimensional model was treated. Then, a two-dimensional model in which a free rotation around the preoriented torsional axis is included was briefly considered. In the one-dimensional model, almost complete preparation of the enantiomers was obtained. The optimal electric field consists of a sequence of two linearly polarized pulses with the same phases but with different magnitudes. This means that the resultant electric field is linearly polarized with the polarization for obtaining the R-form nearly parallel to its S–H bond. The optimal electric field transfers the L-form into the R-form while suppressing the reverse process. In the two-dimensional model, the enantiomer selective preparation is controlled by a sequence of circularly polarized pulses. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Reciprocal altered expression of T-cadherin and P-cadherin in psoriasis vulgaris (2003)

    Notes: Summary  Background The most characteristic change in psoriasis vulgaris is markedly increased, persistent keratinocyte proliferation. The underlying mechanism of excessive epidermal growth is controversial. We previously found and reported that T-cadherin was expressed in keratinocytes and confined to the basal layer of mouse and human skin. Invasive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma showed a loss of T-cadherin expression. Another study showed that T-cadherin was a negative growth regulator of epidermal growth factor in T-cadherin transfectant neuroblastoma cells.Objectives  To obtain insight into the role of T-cadherin in keratinocyte proliferation and to investigate further the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris, we examined the expression of T-cadherin, as well as E- and P-cadherin, in psoriasis vulgaris.Methods  Four untreated active psoriatic skin samples from psoriasis vulgaris patients and four normal human skin samples from plastic surgery were collected, cryosectioned and immunohistochemically stained by antihuman T-, P- and E-cadherin antibodies. Further, the immunofluorescence intensities of T- and P-cadherin on the basal layer of the epidermis were quantitatively measured by the histogram function of LSM 510 software installed in a Zeiss laser scanning confocal microscope. The data were statistically analysed by Student's t-test.Results  It was observed that T-cadherin was weakly and discontinuously expressed on the basal layer of psoriatic skin, while it was intensively expressed on all basal keratinocytes in normal human skin. In contrast, P-cadherin was strongly expressed throughout the entire epidermal layer in psoriatic skin samples, although its expression is restricted to the basal cell layer in normal human skin. There were no obvious differences in E-cadherin expression between normal human skin and psoriatic skin. Statistical analyses showed that the immunofluorescence intensity of T-cadherin in the basal cell layer of psoriatic skin (35 ± 9·08) was significantly decreased compared with that in normal human skin (131·75 ± 3·49, P = 2·46 × 10−6). There was a significant increase (P = 0·00139) in the immunofluorescence intensity of P-cadherin in the basal layer of psoriatic skin (68·25 ± 12·13) compared with normal human skin (26 ± 4·90).Conclusions  The present study demonstrates that there is downregulation of T-cadherin expression and upregulation of P-cadherin expression in psoriatic skin, which are considered to be involved in the hyperproliferation of keratinocytes in psoriasis vulgaris.

    Notes: Abstract The ultrastructure of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)/human herpesvirus-8 (HHV-8) has not yet been fully elucidated, although some findings have been reported using primary effusion lymphoma (PEL) cell lines, KS-1, harboring no Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) coinfection. In the present study, detailed fine structural examination of KSHV/HHV-8 was performed after stimulation of the PEL-derived cell line KS-1 with 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in vitro. While unstimulated KS-1 cells contained a small number of intranuclear virus particles associated with no extracellular mature particles, KS-1 cells stimulated with TPA produced many extracellular mature particles as well as intranuclear particles, in addition to interesting tubulo-reticular structures and aggregated tubular structures in vesicles. The induced intranuclear particles were empty, doughnut shaped, and dense cored, with outer and inner diameters of 100–110 nm and 60–70 nm, respectively. Dense-cored extracellular mature particles were 150–160 nm in diameter, and some contained doughnut-shaped cores, together with a few megaloviruses, 260 nm in outer diameter. These findings indicate that KS-1 cells treated with TPA can produce extracellular mature particles as well as intranuclear particles, which were proven to be KSHV/HHV-8.

    Notes: Abstract  Although the overexpression of cyclin D1 has been believed to play important roles in neoplastic transformation of some tumors, little is known about the function of cyclin D1 protein in carcinogenesis in human skin. A total of 307 patients with nonmelanocytic skin cancer, being 46 with Bowen’s disease (BOD), 134 with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 127 with basal cell carcinoma (BCC), were investigated immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibody to cyclin D1 by the LSAB method, to assess the expression of cyclin D1 in skin cancer including its precursors. The positive rates of cyclin D1 immunostaining in BOD, SCC and BCC were 63.0%, 69.4% and 54.3%, respectively. The positive rates in dysplasia adjoining BOD, SCC and BCC were 43.6%, 67.9% and 59.8%, respectively. In morphologically normal skin, however, only 2 cases, 1 of SCC and 1 of BCC, exhibited positive staining. These findings suggested that overexpression of cyclin D1 is an early event in dysplastic lesions of skin. Overexpression of cyclin D1 was related to sun exposure, especially in dysplasia of SCC. The score for cyclin D1 expression in dysplasia of BCC was correlated with age. Expression of cyclin D1 markedly increased from normal skin through dysplasia to BOD, but was not significantly related to the degree of SCC differentiation. These findings demonstrate that the effect of cyclin D1 overexpression is restricted to proliferation of cells, so that they gain a growth advantage, but their differentiation is not increased. Comparison with the results for p53 protein expression in these tumors, a significant correlation with cyclin D1 expression was found in dysplasia in BOD and SCC, and in patients with BCC who were less than 74 years old. These findings suggested the hypothesis that prior aberrant p53 expression may affect or regulate the overexpression of cyclin D1.

    Sun-exposure- and aging-dependent p53 protein accumulation results in growth advantage for tumour cells in carcinogenesis of nonmelanocytic skin cancer (1999)

    Notes: Abstract  Three hundred and sixteen patients with nonmelanocytic skin cancer, including 46 cases of Bowen’s disease (BOD), 134 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and 136 cases of basal cell carcinoma (BCC), were examined immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibody DO-7 to assess p53 protein accumulation related to sun exposure and ageing, and growth and differentiation of skin cancer and its precursors. The rates of p53 immunostaining of BOD, SCC and BCC were 80.4%, 76.1% and 70.6%, respectively. p53-positive cells were present not only in cancer nests, but also in dysplastic and even morphologically normal epidermis adjoining cancers. Sun exposure was statistically correlated with the p53 immunostaining scores in morphologically normal epidermis of the three skin cancers and in cancer nests of SCC and BCC. The positivity and score of p53 protein often differed significantly among the three types of cancer, especially in regions of dysplasia. Interestingly, differentiation of SCC was correlated with individual p53 scores for dysplasia and cancer nests, especially for dysplasia. BOD, as the precursor of SCC, demonstrated the strongest p53 expression. Furthermore, 12.3% cases with p53 negative cancer nests showed p53-positive reaction in dysplasia and in morphologically normal epidermis. It seems that the accumulation of p53 protein plays a part in precancerous lesions and in the genesis of more highly differentiated types of skin cancer and affects mainly the growth of tumour cells rather than their differentiation. For BCC, however, age was significantly related to p53 expression. Our findings suggest that overexpression of p53 in normal skin and cancer nests of SCC and BCC is significantly related to sun exposure, that the expression of p53 in BCC is an age-dependent process, and that the early accumulation of p53 protein may be a useful predictor for the detection of nonmelanocytic skin cancer.
