    Notes: In situ superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−x films with Tc0 up to 87 K and Jc, 77 K up to 6×104 A/cm2 were prepared on Si substrates with MgAl2O4 and BaTiO3 double-buffer layers. The epitaxial relations between various layers were established by transmission electron microscopy. The MgAl2O4 layer is heavily faulted. The subsequent BaTiO3 layer stops most of the faults, provides a template for the YBa2Cu3O7−x growth, and partially screens off the stress due to different thermal expansion coefficients. The microstructure of the YBa2Cu3O7−x layer is very similar to that of the films deposited directly on SrTiO3, exhibiting a homogeneous heavily faulted single-crystal-like structure free from secondary phases and grain boundaries. The slight degradation of the transport properties is attributed to residual thermal stress.

    Notes: Time-resolved photoconductivity measurements with subnanosecond time resolution are applied to study the electric field profile in amorphous silicon solar cells in the range from 0.3 V forward to 0.8 V reverse bias. The method is used for a comparison of state-of-the art devices with different junction design. Optical and electrical contributions to the device performance are discussed and the limitations in improving the performance by use of a-SiC:H window layers are pointed out.

    Notes: Using electron time-of-flight experiments we have determined the electric field profile and the electron transport efficiency in amorphous silicon solar cells. In optimized devices we find a correlation between the space-charge distribution and the trapping behavior at the p-i junction, indicating that charged defects in the space-charge region determine both, the electric field distribution and the trapping kinetics. From their capture cross section the charged states are identified as positively charged dangling bonds.

    Excitation energy flow at 77 K in the photosynthetic apparatus of overwintering evergreens (2003)

    Notes: The flow of excitation energy from the antennae to photosynthetic reaction centre complexes at 77 K was studied in leaves of two evergreen species, namely, snow gum (Eucalyptus pauciflora Sieb. ex Spreng.) and a hemiparasitic mistletoe (Amyema miquelii, Lehm. ex Miq.). The leaves that were naturally acclimated to winter conditions of freezing temperatures and high irradiance displayed the recently discovered cold-hard-band or CHB feature of the chlorophyll a fluorescence spectra (Gilmore & Ball, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 97:11098–11101, 2000). A streak-camera-spectrograph was used and the double convolution integral method for global analysis was applied to simultaneously acquire and simulate, respectively, the time- and wavelength-dependence of all major chlorophyll a components (Gilmore et al. Phil. Trans. Roy. Soc. B-London 355:1371–1384, 2000). The CHB coincided with changed amplitudes and decreased excited state lifetimes for the main F685 nm and F695 nm emission bands from the photosystem II (PSII) core-inner-antenna. The CHB dissipates energy as heat separate from PSII while also reducing the PSII quantum yield by competing for both photon absorption and antenna excitation. The CHB did not correlate with changes in the decay kinetics of the PSI antenna F740 nm band. The spectral-kinetic features of the altered energy flow were similar in the unrelated evergreen species. These results are consistent with a functional association between the CHB, PSII energy dissipation and protective storage of chlorophyll in overwintering evergreens.

    Dexamethasone Increases Growth Hormone (GH)-Releasing Hormone (GRH) Receptor mRNA Levels in Cultured Rat Anterior Pituitary Cells (1996)

    Notes: To examine the effects of glucocorticoid (GC) on growth hormone (GH)-releasing hormone (GRH) receptor gene expression, a highly-sensitive and quantitative reverse-transcribed polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was used in this study. Rat anterior pituitary cells were isolated and cultured for 4 days. The cultured cells were treated with dexamethasone for 2, 6, and 24 h. GRH receptor mRNA levels were determined by competitive RT-PCR using a recombinant RNA as the competitor. Dexamethasone significantly increased GRH receptor mRNA levels at 5 nM after 6- and 24 h-incubations, and the maximal effect was found at 25 nM. The GC receptor-specific antagonist, RU 38486 completely eliminated the dexamethasone-induced enhancement of GRH receptor mRNA levels. Dexamethasone did not alter the mRNA levels of β-actin and prolactin at 5 nM for 24 h, whereas GH mRNA levels were significantly increased by the same treatment. The GH response to GRH was significantly enhanced by the 24-h incubation with 5 nM dexamethasone. These findings suggest that GC stimulates GRH receptor gene expression through the ligand-activated GC receptors in the rat somatotrophs. The direct effects of GC on the GRH receptor gene could explain the enhancement of GRH-induced GH secretion.

    Cytokine secretion of periodontal ligament fibroblasts derived from human deciduous teeth: effect of mechanical stress on the secretion of transforming growth factor-β1 and macrophage colony stimulating factor (1999)

    Notes: The periodontal ligament may play an important role in tooth eruption, root development and resorption. The tissue physiologically receives mechanical force during mastication. We focused on the effects of intermittent mechanical strain on the cytokine synthesis of periodontal ligament (PDL) fibroblasts in vitro. The cells were derived from human periodontal ligament of deciduous teeth (HPLF-Y) and permanent teeth (HPLF). The two kinds of PDL cells and human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) were cultured in flexible bottomed culture plates. The cells were mechanically stretched at 5% elongation. 3-cycles/min for 24 h on d 7 in culture using a Flexercell® strain unit. After the stretching, we measured DNA content and alkaline phosphatase activity in the cell layer, transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) and macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF) contents in the conditioned medium. The TGF-β1 level in the conditioned medium of HPLF was significantly higher than that of HPLF-Y and HGF. It was stimulated by mechanical stretching only on HPLF, whereas no significant effect was observed on HPLF-Y and HGF. M-CSF secretion was inhibited by the stretching on all of HPLF, HPLF-Y and HGF. Lα,25 dihydroxy vitamin D3 (D3) stimulated M-CSF secretion into the culture medium of both HPLF and HPLF-Y, but the stretching inhibited M-CSF secretion and completely blocked the enhancement by D3. These data suggest that periodontal ligament cells synthesize and secrete the molecules as autocrine or paracrine factors that affect bone remodelling and root resorption and the level of those factors change in response to mechanical stress.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Neue chemische und optische Daten für antimon- und bismuthführende Hemusite auf epithermalen Au-Ag-Cu Lagerstätten in Japan werden vorgelegt. Die empirische Formel für die antimon-führende Varietät aus der Iriki-Mine ist: (Cu5.83Fe0.14Ag0.01)Σ5.98Mo1.03(Sn0.54Sb0.41Te0.03Bi0.02)Σ1.00 (S7.85Se0.15)Σ8.00, und die der Sb-Bi Varietät aus der Kawazu Mine ist: (Cu5.84Fe0.14Ag0.01)Σ5.99M01.03(Sn0.82Sb0.11Bi0.l0Te0.04)Σ1.07 (S7.80Se0.12)Σ7.92. Die theoretische Formel von Hemusit ist Cu+ 4Cu2+ 2Mo4+Sn4+S8, während die wahrscheinlichere Formel für den Hemusit von Iriki Cu+ 4Cu2+ 1.5Mo4+Sn4+ 0.5Sb5+ 0.5S8, mit Sb5+ an der Stelle von Sn4+, das(SbS4)3− Tetraeder bildet, wie zu erwarten ist, unter der Voraussetzung, da♭ das Metall zu Schwefelverhältnis 1 und die Struktur sphaleritähnlich ist. Bi3+ kann jedoch nicht in dieser Weise untergebracht werden, und das führt zu einem Mangel an (S + Se) für den Hemusit von Kawazu. Die Reflektions-Spektren beider Minerale werden mit denen des Wolfram-Equivalents von Hemusit (Kiddcreekit) verglichen. Die Beziehung zwischen Hemusitsensu stricto und diesen jetzt beschriebenen Varietäten wird auf der Basis einfacher und gekoppelter chemischer Substitution diskutiert. Auf dieser Basis werden Schlüsse auf die Valenz von Sb, Bi Mo und Cu in der Hemusit-Struktur gezogen.
    Notes: Summary New compositional and optical data are reported for antimonian and antimonianbismuthian varieties of hemusite from epithermal Au-Ag-Cu deposits in Japan. The empirical formula for the antimonian variety, from the Iriki mine is: (Cu5.83Fe0.14Ag0.01)Σ5.98Mo1.03(Sn0.54Sb0.41Te0.03Bi0.02)Σ1.00(S7.85Se0.15)Σ8.00, and that of the Sb-Bi variety from the Kawazu mine is: (Cu5.84Fe0.14Ag0.01)Σ5.99Mo1.03(Sn0.82Sb0.11Bi0.l0Te0.04)Σ1.07(S7.80Se0.12)Σ7.92. The theoretical formula of hemusite is Cu+ 4Cu2+ 2MO4+Sn4+S8, whilst the most probable formula of the Iriki hemusite is Cu+ 4.5CU2+ 1.5Mo4+Sn4+ 0.5Sb5+ 0.5S8, with Sb5+ substituting for Sn4+ and forming (SbS4)3− tetrahedra as might be expected, given that the metal to sulphur ratio is 1, and given the sphalerite-like structure of the mineral. However Bi3+ cannot be so accommodated, resulting in a deficiency in (S + Se) for Kawazu hemusite. Reflectance spectra for both are compared with those of the tungsten analogue (compositional) of hemusite, kiddcreekite. The relationship between hemusitesensu stricto and these newly reported varieties is discussed in terms of simple and coupled chemical substitutions, and inferences are drawn on the valency of Sb, Bi, Mo and Cu in the hemusite structure.

    Changes in the cytoskeletal proteins, sarcoplasmic reticulum, and capillaries in acute relaxant-steroid myopathy (ARSM) in contrast to the corticosteroid myopathy (1999)

    Notes: Abstract Since we reported a case of acute relaxant-steroid myopathy (ARSM) in 1994, we continued histological studies and compared the findings with those in a case of corticosteroid myopathy (CM). It was revealed that (1) dystrophin, spectrin, beta dystroglycan, and sarcoglycans on the cell surface were decreased, (2) regular arrangement of the sarcoplasmic reticulum was lost, and (3) some capillaries were degenerated. Since none of these changes were seen in CM, it became clear that ARSM is different from CM. It was estimated that continuous administration of non-depolarizing muscle relaxant produces a state akin to denervation. Combination of denervation, immobilization and circulatory disturbance in ARSM not only augments the effects of corticosteroids, but they produce changes different from CM, namely impairment of the cell membrane system (both internal and external) and capillary degeneration.

    Notes: Abstract A case of acute myopathy was observed in the course of treatment of respiratory failure with mechanical ventilation combined with prolonged neuromuscular blockade and administration of corticosteroids. A muscle biopsy revealed degeneration of muscle fibres. Electron microscopy showed loss of thick filaments as well as nemaline rods, vacuoles and cytoplasmic bodies. The mitochondria were increased in number, many harbouring paracrystalline inclusions, which were hitherto unknown in this condition.

    Notes: Summary The occurrence is reported of acute myositis in a man with meningoencephalitis due to toxoplasmosis. The ultrastructure and immunohistochemistry of a muscle biopsy of the patient were investigated. Toxoplasma organisms were not found in the muscle biopsy. The perivascular inflammatory cells in the muscle were mainly CD4+ T cells and the inflammatory cells in and around the muscle fibres were chiefly macrophages. Expression of major histocompatibility complex class I and II antigens was observed in the infiltrating cells and endothelial cells of the blood vessels. A small proportion of the infiltrating cells expressed interferon-γ. A possible role of the immune mechanism in the evolution of myositis is discussed.
