    Notes: Carrier concentration and mobility of unintentionally doped InP layers, grown directly on Si using metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy, have been studied. The formation of antiphase domains (APDs) was found to depend on annealing of the Si substrate in an AsH3 flow prior to epitaxial growth. Dislocation densities determined by the wet chemical delineation technique were (8±1)×107 cm−3, seemingly uncorrelated to APDs in the layers. In addition to a shallow donor and a compensating acceptor, a deep donor was observed affecting the temperature dependence of the free-electron concentration between 77 and 300 K. The electron mobility in this temperature range could be described in terms of the scattering mechanisms which are dominant in homoepitaxial InP, namely, scattering due to polar optical phonons, to ionized impurities, and to space charges. Electron scattering due to either of these mechanisms was strongly influenced by the occurrence of antiphase boundaries (APBs). The space-charge density as well as the degree of compensation of the epitaxial layers increases with the density of APBs. Degraded 300 K mobilities were obtained indicating the effect of local stress at the APB.

    Notes: We calculate the modifications of the unimolecular rate constants for free metallic clusters due to thermally exited electronic degrees of freedom. The effect is essentially taken into account by substituting Helmholtz's free energy of the electronic system for the ground state energy. The activation energy pertaining to the electronic ground states of the mother and daughter cluster is then replaced by the first difference in Helmholtz's free energy. © 1994 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A computer controlled acquisition and evaluation system for electrostatic probes is presented. Fully automatic evaluation of the probe characteristics yields electron temperature, plasma potential, and density during the recording. Two-dimensional probe positioning is accomplished with stepping motors. The system is characterized by 12-bit probe current resolution and extremely wide probe voltage range (±130 V). It is tested in a collisionless argon magnetoplasma and compared to standard wave diagnostic techniques for magnetized plasmas, i.e., the resonance cone technique. The influence of the probe radius on the electron current in a magnetized plasma is studied experimentally. The two techniques yield identical density and temperature values within 20% accuracy and therefore show the reliable applicability of the automatic evaluation system.

    Notes: The antibody response to Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi, and to measles virus as control antigen, was analysed by agarose isoelectric focusing (AIF) and immunoblot of joint fluid and serum from 10 patients with Lyme arthritis and 10 controls with rheumatoid arthritis. Among the Lyme arthritis patients, six had oligoclonal anti-B, burgdorferi IgG antibody bands in joint fluid and Corresponding serum, one patient had oligoclonal antibody bands in joint fluid only and also an elevated B. burgdorferi IgG in joint fluid to serum antibody ratio as evidence of intra-joint production of specific antibodies, and the remaining three patients were negative for oligoclonal-specific antibody bands. Absorption with B. burgdorferi imagen confirmed the specificity of the ofigoclonal antibody bands. They comigrated only partially on AIF with oligoclonal bands of total IgG and the specificity of most oligoclonal IgG in joint fluid and serum in Lyme arthritis remains undefined. Among the controls, no anti-B, burgdorferi IgG antibodies were detected by AIF and immunoblot. Instead. 9 of the 10 rheumatoid arthritis patients had oligoclonal anti-measles IgG antibody bands which were restricted to the joint fluid in three of them, indicating local production. We conclude that Lyme arthritis is often accompanied by an oligoclonal specific antibody response in joint fluid and serum simultaneously, and occasionally by intrasynovial synthesis of oligoclonal-specific antibodies.

    Notes: Pre- and post-treatment (up to 3–26 months after antibiotic therapy) humoral immune responses were investigated in five neuroborreliosis patients. Anti-Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi IgG and IgM antibodies in CSF and serum were quantitated by capture ELISA. Agarose gel isoelectric focusing (AIF) and protein blotting were used to detect oligoclonal IgG and IgM bands as well as oligoclonal anti-B. burgdorferi IgG and IgM antibodies. These latter components were visualized by transfer to antigen-coated membranes (immunoblot) and immunoenzymatic staining. By ELISA, intrathecal anti-B. burgdorferi IgG and IgM antibody synthesis was detected in all initial specimens and continued 3–26 months after antibiotic therapy in four and three cases, respectively. AIF with protein blotting showed oligoclonal bands of total IgG as well as total IgM in the initial CSF specimens of all patients and persistence of such components occurred in four and five cases, respectively. By AIF and immunoblot, oligoclonal anti-B. burgdorferi IgG and IgM antibody bands could be detected in the CSF of every patient. IgG antibody bands were present in all initial CSF samples. The first specimen of one patient was negative for IgM antibody bands but such components appeared 3 weeks later. Oligoclonal CSF anti-B. burgdorferi IgG antibody components persisted over the entire follow-up periods in all but one case where they disappeared 6 weeks after treatment. The oligoclonal IgM antibodies in CSF vanished in two cases (after being present up to 4 and 11 months after antibiotic therapy) while they persisted over the entire (3–6 months after antibiotic therapy) follow-up periods in three cases. The specificity of the IgM antibody immunoblot technique was corroborated by control experiments, including antibody absorption studies and use of 41 kDa flagellar antigen.

    Notes: The aim of this study was to determine the pulmonary function in former and present asthmatics. We examined 77 persons aged 12–24 years, classified into four groups: 1) healthy subjects (controls) (n= 19), 2) former asthmatics (n= 19), 3) present mild asthmatics (n= 20), and 4) present severe asthmatics (n= 19). Although exhibiting no respiratory symptoms, former asthmatics had reduced airflow values measured by FEV, (median (range) 89.7 (83–99) vs 101.4 (91–110)) and MEF25 (76.5 (68–94) vs 103.0 (97–124)), as compared with controls. Furthermore, former asthmatics had significantly increased PEF variability, as compared with controls, whereas no significant differences were found in static lung parameters, i.e. total lung capacity and residual volume, as compared with controls. In conclusion, former asthmatics, although now exhibiting no respiratory symptoms, were found to have obstructive airflow limitation, increased bronchial responsiveness, and normal lung volumes.

    Distribution of serum IgE in children and adolescents aged 7 to 16 years in Copenhagen, in relation to factors of importance (1992)

    Notes: The distribution of total serum-IgE and factors of importance for the level of IgE was studied in a random sample of 508 children and adolescents, aged 7–16 years, from Copenhagen. A detailed history about asthma, rhinitis, dermatitis and urticaria was obtained, and a physical examination, skin prick test with 9 common allergens, lung function test, bronchial challenge with inhaled histamine and exercise, and measurement of IgE (kU/1) were performed. The distribution of IgE among children and adolescents was found to exhibit a log normal distribution and a positive skin prick test, allergic symptoms, a family history of allergic diseases, age and smoking were found to be significantly related to an increased level of IgE. No relationship was found between increased bronchial responsiveness and IgE. The geometric mean of “normal” values of IgE (* 1 SD and *2 SD) of the Danish children and adolescents was 18 kU/1 (*4.7, * 18.2), suggesting that normal IgE values were within 330 kU/1. Measurement of IgE as the only screening for allergic disease is unreliable, as the predictive value of an elevated IgE in population samples was found to be 50%, whereas misclassification (1-specificity) of asymptomatic subjects as allergic because of an increased IgE was low (4%). In conclusion, total IgE is highly influenced by allergen skin reactivity. Further, this study suggests that normal IgE values were within 330 kU/1, although the range was wide.

    Notes: Abstract The renal effects of intravenous injection of 40 mg enalapril were investigated in 16 normotensive microalbuminuric type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients. After enalapril the following changes were observed: fractional albumin clearance (Θ Alb) decreased from 9.9 (3.0–23.8) to 8.2 (2.0–18.3)×10−6 (2P〈0.01); filtration fraction (FF) decreased from 0.260 (0.225–0.312) to 0.253 (0.190–0.297) (2P〈0.01); renal plasma flow (RPF) increased from 565 (411–690) to 623 (449–785) (2P〈0.01); and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) remained stable at 149 (128–181) versus 150 (124–185) ml · min−1 (NS). These values were unchanged after placebo (n=8), except for RFP which decreased from 606 (401–701) to 559 (381–677) ml · min−1 (2P〈0.05) and GFR which was reduced from 148 (111–173) to 138 (111–167) (2P〈0.05). A reduction in mean blood pressure from 94 (87–103) to 89 (79–101) mmHg (2P〈0.05) was found in the enalapril group and a minor reduction in the placebo group from 97 (83–106) to 96 (81–104) mmHg (2P〈0.05) was also noted. The relative changes in systolic blood pressure in the enalapril group correlated with changes in Θ Alb (Spearman'sr=0.66, 2P〈0.02) and FF (r=0.53, 2P〈0.05). Acute inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme does not reduce the pathological hyperfiltration in these patients and a reduction in Θ Alb and FF can not be dissociated from the reduction in blood pressure.

    Reduced glomerular filtration rate and cardiovascular damage in diabetes: a key role for abnormal albuminuria (1992)

    Notes: Abstract There is general agreement that a fall rate in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is the principal endpoint in diabetics with renal disease, and that abnormal albuminuria (including microalbuminuria) is an important intermediate end-point. The relative roles of blood pressure (BP) elevation and abnormal albuminuria in the prediction and genesis of renal disease are a matter of debate, and are further analysed in this paper. New studies show that neither genetic predisposition to hypertension (parental BP) nor parental abnormal albuminuria can be used to predict renal disease in patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes. However, parental predisposition to proteinuria seems to be important to certain types of patients with type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes. Cross-sectional as well as follow-up studies document that GFR is generally well preserved in microalbuminuria (in both type 1 and type 2 patients), while the transition to clinical proteinuria is associated with a decline in GFR. Thus, prevention of overt proteinuria is important in clinical trials in microalbuminuric patients. In type 1 diabetes clear ultrastructural changes have been documented with microalbuminuria and a good correlation between abnormal albuminuria and structural damage is seen. Structural damage in normo- and microalbuminuric patients correlates poorly with BP. New studies in type 1 diabetes document that microalbuminuria (but not elevated BP) predicts not only clinical diabetic nephropathy but also end-stage renal failure and mortality. In type 2 diabetes microalbuminuria is the strongest predictor of mortality, whereas BP elevation is not a predictor. Several studies now document that antihypertensive treatment, especially with inhibitors of angiotensin converting enzyme, is able to reverse or reduce abnormal albuminuria, even in non-hypertensive type 1 patients, and possibly preserve GFR. Therefore, microalbuminuria may be the main indicator for starting antihypertensive treatment in these patients. With respect to organ damage in the retina, abnormal albuminuria is an important indicator of the risk of severe diabetic retinopathy. BP elevation seems not to be an initiating factor, but rather aggravates established retinopathy. Left ventricular hypertrophy has a stronger correlation with BP elevation than normoalbuminuria, suggesting that left ventricular hypertrophy is at least partially a phenomenon secondary to elevated BP in diabetic patients with abnormal albuminuria. Generally, abnormal albuminuria is a strong indicator of cardiovascular renal damage in diabetic patients and in most organs is a stronger factor than elevated BP.
