    Notes: Abstract We report lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a 14-year-old girl. The co-existence of LPI and SLE in the same patient has been reported before and suggests that SLE is directly connected with LPI. Conclusion Possibly in LPI the metabolic derangement can cause immunological abnormalities. Therefore, when multisystem involvement is observed in LPI patients, SLE should be considered as a rare complication.

    Notes: To understand the relevance of allergy to the development of asthma in children, we examined basophil hislamine release (HR) with Df antigen, blood cosinophii counts, serum eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) levels, and bronchial responsiveness to methacholine (PC20) in three groups of children, including 36 asthmatics with high RAST titre for Df (group 1), 36 non-asthmatics with similarly high RAST titre for Df (group 2) and 21 non-asthmatics with negative RAST titre for Df (group 3). The amount of Df antigen inducing 50% HR from basophils did not vary significantly between group 1 and 2 (P〉0.05), while none of the cells responded to higher concentrations of Df in group 3. The mean number of blood eosinophils and level of serum ECP were highest in group 1, and lowest in group 3, with group 2 being intermediate, and the differences were significant between all three groups (P〈0.01). The mean PC20 value was the lowest in group 1, intermediate in group 2, and the highest in group 3, and the differences were significant between all three groups (P〈0.01). While correlation studies showed that PC20 values of group 2 subjects signficantly correlated with their eosinophil numbers (r=–0.48, P〈0.01) and ECP levels (r =–0.49, P 〈 0.01), such correlations were not found in group 1 subjects. These results suggest that the degree of the eosinophilic inflammation caused by the allergic reaction to mites is an important factor in determining the clinical expression of asthma in atopic subjects.

    Notes: Although asthmatic children are often sensitized to the house-dust mite (HDM) during early childhood, it is not clear what antigenic components are associated with the early immune response of these children. To investigate this problem, we evaluated IgE, IgG, and IgG4 antibody responses to Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) by immunoblotting among three groups of children: group I aged 0–4 years, group II aged 5–9 years, and group III aged 10–14 years. In the group I subjects, positive IgE-binding reactions to 15– and 25-kDa components were found in 76% and 44% of sera, respectively. Those to other components were generally low in frequency. In contrast, positive IgG-binding reactions to 15– and 25-kDa components were found in 44% and 24% of sera, and those to 30– and 110-kDa components in 48% and 88% of sera, respectively. Positive IgG4 reactions to 15– and 25-kDa components were found in 48% and 24%, respectively, and those to other components were very low. Positive IgE-binding reactions to these components gradually became more frequent with increasing age in groups II and III, while IgG and IgG4 reactivities were not markedly different in these age groups. These results suggest that the 15-and 25-kDa proteins of Df are important antigens associated with the initial IgE response to HDM in early childhood, while the 30– and 110-kDa proteins are associated with IgG and 15-kDa components with IgG4.

    Notes: Abstract Measurements of the velocity and concentration in axisymmetric, turbulent, isothermal and buoyant jets have been performed with laser-Doppler velocimetry and planar and point laser-induced fluorescence to quantify the mixing enhancement achieved by periodic forcing when the jet exit has a fully-developed turbulent pipe flow, a situation less well-studied than the case of laminar initial conditions. It was found that forcing at Strouhal numbers around 0.6 enhances mixing in the developing region of the jet and this enhancement increased with increasing amplitude of excitation, consistent with results of initially-laminar jets. The initial turbulence intensity did not have any effect, but an increase in the initial lengthscale of the turbulence, controlled by a perforated plate inside the nozzle, caused faster mixing. In agreement with previous experiments, the initial conditions of the jet did not affect the far-field rate of decay, but the jet-fluid concentration there was significantly reduced by forcing due to the increased mixing during the early stages of development, an effect that can be described by a smaller virtual origin in decay laws of jet decay. These results are independent of the Froude number because the initial conditions have an influence only in the early stages where the flow is still momentum dominated.

    Notes: Abstract Plain woven AFRP samples were immsersed in hot water at 80°C and exposed to humid air at 80°C, 80% RH for 300~days. Furthermore, they were tested by a tensile method to investigate time dependence of their degradation. The longer the immersion time, the greater the degradation of tensile strength. But on comparison with samples exposed to hot humid air, those immersed in hot water showed more degradation, although both conditions had the same temperature. Hot water caused the yarn/resin interface to degrade and led to delamination. Warps, which are weakened by absorption, were further damaged by delamination. Damaged warps broke and final fracture occurred at a low level of stress. At an average stress level, AE event rate of samples in hot, wet conditions was lower than that of virgin samples. This was because cracks occurred in the resin-rich area during water/moisture absorption, i.e., fracture occurred before tensile test. The change of fracture by water/moisture absorption in a hot, wet environment could also be revealed by the AE method.
