    Notes: We have investigated feasibility of GaAs interlayers for the metal/GaN interface with synchrotron-radiation photoelectron spectroscopy. We have found that the use of piranha/HCl solutions is effective as a surface cleaning technique for GaN. We have confirmed that (111) GaAs grows epitaxially on a (0001) GaN substrate. Pd/GaAs/GaN sandwich structures have been successfully fabricated with molecular beam epitaxy. We have confirmed the GaAs interlayer modifies the band diagram at the metal/GaN interface. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We report a technique to characterize carrier-trapping phenomena in SiO2 by measuring the Si 2p core-level energy of Si substrates covered with thin SiO2 layers as a function of x-ray irradiation time. It is found that the Si 2p peak energy, which corresponds to the band bending at the SiO2/Si interface, changes as the x-ray irradiation time increases. We attribute this to carrier-trapping phenomena in SiO2. By using this technique, it is found that the carrier-trapping phenomena differ remarkably among several chemical oxides. We also discuss the atomic structure of the traps that cause the trapping phenomena. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Polyoxyethylene alkyl esters, which are surface-active agents, were chemically synthesized from fatty acids (C12-C18) on reaction with different moles of polyethylene oxides, and were tested for effectiveness against the toxic raphidophytes Chattonella marina (Subrahmanyan) Hara & Chihara and C. antiqua (Hada) Ono. The synthetic surfactants destroyed cultured cells from these two species. Although the synthetic surfactants also exhibited ichthyotoxicity, this was lowered by increasing the molarity of ethylene oxide (EO) in alkyl ester molecules. Young yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata Temminck & Schlegel, survived exposure to C. marina (5000-5500 cells mLT−1) or C. antiqua (3000-3500 cells mL−1) cultures with the addition of 4-5 p.p.m. oleyl ester EO 14, but died within an hour without the addition of this surfactant.

    Notes: Background T-cell epitopes on Der 1 and Der 2 groups, the major mite allergens, have been intensively analysed, while those on the other important allergens remain to be elucidated. We have cloned four cDNAs coding for important mite allergens on the basis of frequency and capacity of IgE binding. Stimulatory action of glutathione S-transferase-fused Mag1 on lymphocytes from mite-allergic patients was relatively high among them.Objective To identify T-cell epitopes on Mag1, we studied the stimulating activity of truncated Mag1 proteins and synthetic peptides on proliferative response of lymphocytes from mite antigen-immunized mice and mite-sensitive patients.Methods Truncated Mag1 proteins were expressed as a fusion protein with β-galactosidase in Escherichia coli pop2136 carrying a variety of deleted Mag1 inserts. Murine T-cell epitope regions were estimated by the truncated antigen-induced lymphocyte proliferation assay. Overlapping peptides covering the whole sequence of the presumed T-cell epitope regions were synthesized to identify the epitope core. sequences using murine and human Mag1-specific T-cell lines.Results Amino acid range 56–70 on Mag1 molecule showed remarkable stimulatory action on murine T cells, while amino acid ranges 51–65 and 86–100 had potent stimulatory activity on human T cells.Conclusion These results suggest that Mag1 is a valuable antigen suitable for studies on T-cell responses and T-cell epitopes in mice and humans.

    Notes: The effects of various prostaglandins (PGs) on the functions of human gingival fibroblasts (Gin-1 cells; ATCC CRL 1292) were examined by phase-contrast microscopy, cell-counting and radioautographic experiments. Tested PGs were PGA1, PGA2, PGB1, PGB2, PGD2, PGE1, PGE2, PGF1α, PGF2α, PGI2, 6-keto-PGF1α, 9α-11α-methanoepoxy-PGF2α, and thromboxane (TX) B2. PGA1, and PGD2 at 30 μM caused morphological deformation of Gin-1 cells. All the PGs tested at 30 μM suppressed the proliferation of Gin-1 cells in the logarithmic growth phase. Furthermore, all the PGs tested at 10 μM suppressed DNA synthesis, collagen synthesis, and noncollagenous protein synthesis in confluent Gin-1 cells, while exerting no effect on GAG synthesis. The concentrations of PGs used are beyond those found in healthy gingiva. However, in periodontitis the local concentrations of some PGs within the gingiva are expected to be extremely elevated beyond the physiological level. These results suggest that PGs may play an important role as a negative regulator in metabolism and some pathologic gingival conditions by suppressing the functions of gingival fibroblasts.

    Notes: Abstract. Topological restrictions of symplectically filling 4-manifolds of links around simple singularities are studied by using the Seiberg-Witten monopole equations. In particular, the intersection form of minimal symplectically filling 4-manifolds of the singularity of type E 8 is determined. Moreover, for the case of simply elliptic singularities, similar restrictions are obtained. In the proof, a vanishing theorem of the Seiberg-Witten invariant is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract If E is an elliptic curve over $$\mathbb{Q}$$ , then let E(D) denote theD-quadratic twist of E. It is conjectured that there are infinitely many primesp for which E(p) has rank 0, and that there are infinitely many primes $$\ell $$ for which $$E(\ell )$$ has positive rank. For some special curvesE we show that there is a set S of primes p with density $$\frac{1}{3}$$ for which if $$D = \prod {p_j } $$ is a squarefree integer where $$p_j \in S$$ , then E(D) has rank 0. In particular E(p) has rank 0 for every $$p \in S$$ . As an example let E1 denote the curve $$E_1 :y^2 = x^3 + 44x^2 - 19360x + 1682384$$ . Then its associated set of primes S1 consists of the prime11 and the primes p for which the order of the reduction ofX0(11) modulo p is odd. To obtain the general result we show for primes $$p \in S$$ that the rational factor of L(E(p),1) is nonzero which implies thatE(p) has rank 0. These special values are related to surjective $$\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$$ Galois representations that are attached to modularforms. Another example of this result is given, and we conclude with someremarks regarding the existence of positive rank prime twists via polynomialidentities.

    Notes: Summary Feline leukemia virus (FeLV) is a horizontally transmitted agent of the domestic cat which is known to be associated with wide spectrum of diseases of the hematopoietic system. In the present study, proviral DNAs of FeLV proviruses were examined in the tumor cells of natural killer cell lineage which is very rare in cats. In the chromosomal DNA of the tumor cells, 5 distinct bands corresponding to exogenous FeLV provirus genomes were detected by digestion withEcoRI which does not cut most FeLV isolates. Five clones of pLC1, pLC2, pLC3, pLC4, and pLC5 obtained from the 5 respective bands were analysed by restriction endonuclease mapping and Southern blot hybridization using gene-specific probes of FeLV. The results have clearly demonstrated that pLC4 and pLC5 contained large deletions in thepol and part ofgag regions, while the full-length proviruses could be observed in pLC1 and pLC2. Furthermore, pLC3 contained part of a variant FeLV genome having anEcoRI site in itsgag region. The molecular clones of defective and variant FeLV in this study may be useful for the further examination of tumorigenesis of large granular lymphoma in the cat.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Clinical symptoms and patho-anatomic changes in cervical myelopathy due to spondylotic changes are described. The leading symptoms are numbness and clumsiness of upper and lower extremity, mostly combined with gait disturbances. Muscle wasting primarily on the upper extremity leads to the myelopathic hand. Cervical myelopathy can be classified into five main groups: 1. Spastic tetraparesis with numbness and hyperreflexivity of upper and lower extremity. The majority of patients present with the myelopathic hand. 2. Spastic paraparesis with lesion below C6. 3. Spastic tetraparesis, mild or moderate, with deltoid muscle paresis. 4. Amyotrophic myelopathic hand with mild long tract signs. 5. Central cord syndrome due to cervical spondylosis combined with trauma. From the therapeutic aspect, conservative treatment is often unsuccessful. It is important to relieve pressure on the myelon, and decompressive procedures, especially posterior laminoplasty techniques, are required. Earlier surgery provides better results.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Das klinische Erscheinungsbild der zervikalen Spondylose mit Myelopathie wird dargestellt. Die achsennahen Symptome wie Zervikalgie sind auf die radiologisch feststellbaren Veränderungen zurückzuführen. Periphere Symptome wie Radikulopathien können hinzukommen, wenn die lateralen Anteile des Spinalkanals eingeengt werden. Die Deltoideusparese Grad ≤ 3 (MMT) ist die häufigste Symptomatik von klinischer Bedeutung, wenn nur ein einzelner Muskel betroffen ist, die von der zervikalspondolytischen Radikulopathie verursacht wird. Bei der zervikalen Myelopathie stehen aber nicht Schmerz, sondern Funktionsstörungen im Vordergrund. Taubheitsgefühle an oberen und unteren Extremitäten sowie Gangstörungen sind Frühzeichen. Muskelatrophien werden vor allem an der oberen Extremität beobachtet und führen häufig zur sog. myelopathischen Hand. Der zervikale Myelopathie läßt sich in verschiedene Formen unterteilen: 1. spastische Tetraparese mit Symptomen der oberen und unteren Extremität, 2. spastische Paraparese bei Kompressionen unterhalb C6, 3. spastische Tetraparese mit Parese des M. deltoideus, 4. atropische Form der myelopathischen Hand mit Beteiligung der langen Bahnen, 5. zentrales Rückenmarksyndrom bei zervikaler Spondylose und Traumaanamnese. Therapeutisch sind konservative Maßnahmen wenig erfolgversprechend, es empfiehlt sich dekompressive Chirurgie. Die Prognose ist um so besser, je früher die Dekompression erfolgt.
