    Notes: Abstract We have developed a new liquid material for embolisation of arteriovenous malformations: a mixture of methyl and butyl methacrylate, plus dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer (Eudragit-E) in a solvent consisting of ethanol and iopamidol. Upon contact with aqueous substances, Eudragit-E precipitates rapidly and forms a soft elastic sponge within 3 s, as the ethanol diffuses. In blood, the positively charged Eudragit-E aggregates the negatively charged blood elements. Transcatheter embolisation of 4 canine and 52 rat renal arteries was feasible. Histological studies revealed no acute inflammatory reaction within 1 week, but mild to moderate reactions in the subacute and chronic stages. No recanalisation was seen. Because of its unique properties and excellent thrombogenicity the Eudragit-E mixture seems a promising embolic material.

    Notes: Abstract: Involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) in the release of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) was examined in Xenopus laevis oocytes injected with mRNA from rat cerebellum, as compared with findings in slices of rat cerebellum. The mRNA-injected oocytes preloaded with [3H]GABA showed spontaneous release of [3H]GABA, ∼0.5% of GABA content per 1 min. Stimulation with either Ca2+ ionophore (A23187) or a high K+ concentration increased the release of [3H]GABA from slices of rat deep cerebellar nucleus and mRNA-injected oocytes but not from noninjected and water-injected oocytes. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (10–300 nM) but not 4α-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (300 nM) potentiated the A23187-stimulated release of [3H]GABA from slices and from mRNA-injected oocytes, in a concentration-dependent manner. Thus, machinery associated with release processes of GABA can be expressed in oocytes by injecting rat cerebellar mRNA, and PKC participates in GABA release from the functionally expressed GABAergic nerve terminals.

    Notes: Electronic structures of 5, 10, 15, 20-zinctetraphenylporphyrin (ZnTPP)/metal (Au, Ag, Al, Mg) interfaces prepared in ultrahigh vacuum were investigated by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). We found that the electronic energy levels of ZnTPP align to the vacuum level of substrate metal, with a constant energy shift of vacuum levels across the interface. These findings cannot be explained by the simple models assuming vacuum level alignment at the interface. We also found that sample exposure to oxygen induces energy level shift in close relation with change of substrate work function at oxygen exposure. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Formation of Schottky barriers at interfaces between metals and molecular semiconductors of p- and n-type conductances (1996)

    Notes: In order to clarify electronic structures of molecular semiconductor/metal interfaces, a Schottky–Mott rule is examined for vacuum-sublimed films of two kinds of porphyrins, which have similar chemical structures, but opposite conductance types. The result shows that Schottky barrier heights are simply determined by the difference in work function between the porphyrin solids and metals irrespective of the conductance types of the porphyrin semiconductors, indicative of negligible influence of surface states on the Schottky barrier formation. Measurements of photocurrent generation efficiencies at these Schottky junctions indicate that a surface recombination process is not a major deactivation route for electron-hole pairs generated in the molecular semiconductors by light. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: 9α,11β-Prostaglandin (PG) F2 is an initial metabolite of PGD2 which has a potent bronchoconstrictive activity.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉ObjectivesWe measured the urinary levels of 9α,11β-PGF2 in asthmatic children to investigate its role in not only acute asthmatic attack in a time course study but also in exercise-induced asthma (EIA).〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉MethodsIn the acute asthma study, 30 asthmatic children were examined. Urine samples were collected on the first, third, and sixth days. Urinary levels of 9α,11β-PGF2 were measured with gas chromatography mass spectrometry using the electron impact method. In the exercise challenge study, 14 children with EIA and 14 children without EIA were studied. Urine samples were collected before exercise challenge, and at 1 h, and 5 h after exercise challenge. Urinary levels of 9α,11β-PGF2 were measured.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉ResultsElevated urinary levels of 9α,11β-PGF2, which were observed on the first day when treatment was started in the hospital, were gradually decreased on the third day (P 〈 0.05), and on the sixth day (P 〈 0.01). A significant correlation between urinary levels of 9α,11β-PGF2 and symptom scores (P 〈 0.005) was observed on the first day. In EIA, there was a significant increase in urinary levels of 9α,11β-PGF2 at 1 h (P 〈 0.01) and at 5 h (P 〈 0.01) after exercise challenge, but not in the children without EIA.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusion9α,11β-PGF2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of acute and exercise-induced asthma in children.

    Notes: 1. Effect of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCG), a condensed tannin isolated from green tea leaves, on the life span and hypertensive lesions in the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) was compared with that of persimmon tannin.2. Long-term administration of either 0.5% EGCG or 0.5% persimmon tannin to SHRSP inhibited the incidence of stroke and prolonged the life span, but did not affect the blood pressure.3. These results indicate that EGCG may prevent incidence of stroke due to the radical scavenging action and inhibition of lipid peroxidation, and may result in prolonging the life span of SHRSP, as in the case of persimmon tannin.

    Notes: Multilayer supermirrors stacked with three sets of Pt/C combinations have been fabricated on a flat float-glass and conical replica foil mirror using a magnetron DC sputtering system, and applied to X-ray optical systems in the hard X-ray region. The design of the supermirror is optimized to obtain the highest integrated reflectivity in the energy band and at the grazing angle concerned. X-ray reflectivities of 30% in the 25–35 keV band at an incidence angle of 0.3° were obtained.

    Identification of calprotectin, a calcium binding leukocyte protein, in human dental calculus matrix (1997)

    Notes: Calprotectin is a calcium binding protein produced by leukocytes, macrophages and epithelial cells, and its levels in several tissues increase during infections and in many inflamed areas, suggesting that it may be an indicator of inflammatory activity. Osteopontin is a prominent phosphorylated glycoprotein in bone matrix, having calcium binding capacity. Recently, it has been reported that calprotectin and osteopontin are present in urinary stones (pathological mineralized masses in the body), and that these proteins may be involved in their formation. Dental calculus formed by mineralization of dental plaque is an inflammatory factor which may contribute to periodontal disease. It contains many organic components involved in mineralization. We recently found osteopontin molecules in human dental calculus and suggested that the components of its matrix may be similar to those of urinary stones. In this study, we investigated the presence of calprotectin in human dental calculus by immunohistochemical and immunoblotting analyses using a specific antibody for calprotectin. After fixation and demineralization of dental calculi adhered to tooth roots, sections embedded in paraffin were immunoreacted with the antibody for calprotectin and positive immunostaining for calprotectin was observed. Dental calculus proteins were then extracted with EDTA and separated by electrophoresis on 15% polyacrylamide gels. By immunoblotting analysis, 3 or 4 bands were observed at 11, 14.5, 22–25, 28 or 36.5 kDa and these patterns corresponded to those of calprotectin subunits. When non-immune rabbit serum was used instead of calprotectin-specific antibody as a negative control, no immunoreactivity was observed. These findings indicate that calprotectin is associated not only with antibacterial action but also with calcium binding capacity during dental calculus formation.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to elucidate pathways of carcinogenesis in the colon and rectum by investigating Ki-ras point mutation in different types of colorectal carcinomas in the early stage. METHODS: We analyzed rates of Ki-ras codon 12 mutations in 34 small, polypoid-type carcinomas (Tis or T1), 21 superficial-type carcinomas (Tis or T1), and 42 advanced carcinomas (T2, T3, and T4). RESULTS: Frequency of Ki-ras mutations in superficial-type carcinomas was 14.3 percent (3/21), which was significantly lower than 50 percent (17/34) in small polypoid carcinomas and 40.5 percent (17/42) in advanced carcinomas. These data suggest that another pathway of colorectal carcinogenesis that does not involve Ki-ras point mutation might exist. Among the 17 small polypoid carcinomas with Ki-ras point mutation in which both adenomatous and carcinomatous tissue were examined, 12 showed a mutation of the same type in both carcinomatous and adenomatous tissues. In two cases, mutation was present only in carcinomatous tissue and not in adenomatous tissue; in the other three cases, Ki-ras point mutation was present only in adenomatous tissue but not in carcinomatous tissue. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that carcinoma in a small polypoid lesion does not always develop from pre-existing adenoma with Ki-ras point mutation; in a small number of the polypoid-type early carcinomas, polyclonal composition concerning the Ki-ras gene may exist.
