    Notes: Summary The mammalian genome contains two functional loci for the production of phosphoglycerate kinase, PGK-1, an X-linked gene expressed in all somatic cells, and PGK-2, an autosomal intron-less gene expressed exclusively in late spermatogenesis. A nucleotide substitution from guanine to thymine was recently found at position 473 of PGK-1 mRNA in PGK Shizuoka. The mutation was not found in the PGK-2 gene and might have occurred after separation of PGK-1 and PGK-2.

    Notes: Abstract A 13-year-old Hungarian boy (B.J. Jr.) with congenital haemolytic anaemia (CHA) and hyperkinetic torsion dyskinesia was found to have severe triose-phosphate isomerase (TPI) deficiency. One of his two brothers (A.J.), a 23-year-old amateur wrestler, has CHA as well, but no neurological symptoms. Both have less than 10% TPI activity and a highly increased dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) level in their red blood cells. Their TPI had a slow electrophoretic mobility and was heat unstable. Both parents and a third brother are healthy heterozygous carriers of the defect. A.J. represents a unique phenotype from the point of view that all published “homozygotes” had severe neurological alterations from infancy or early childhood except one infant who died at 11 months, probably too young for neurological symptoms to be noted. In contrast to the two affected Hungarian brothers all but one “homozygote” has died before the age of 6 years. The striking difference in the clinical course of the defect between the two brothers with the same severe red blood cell enzyme deficiency may originate from unusual differences between two double heterozygous brothers resulting inter alia in different levels of TPI expression in various tissues. Significantly lower TPI activities were found in both the T- and B-cells of the propositus as compared to the respective cells of the neurologically symptom-free brother.

    Notes: The enormous magnetoresistance effect at low temperatures in various uranium-based intermetallic compounds, which exceeds by far the effect found in magnetic-multilayer systems, is a consequence of the strong 5f conduction electron hybridization. The consequences of spin-dependent scattering for the giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect in uranium intermetallics will be discussed and compared with the behavior in multilayer systems. Possible changes of the model parameters to achieve giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effects at higher temperatures, which are desirable for practical applications, are considered.

    Notes: Dermatophagoides farinae-, ovalbumin-and lactalbumin-specific IgG, IgG1, IgG4, IgA and IgM were evaluated in 161 healthy children [Group 1], 84 children with bronchial asthma and/or allergic rhinitis but without atopic dermatitis [Group 2], and 54 children with atopic dermatitis but without bronchial asthma and allergic rhinitis [Group 3]. We also studied D. farinae-, egg-white-, and milk-specific IgE of children with allergic diseases. D. farinae-specific IgG, IgG1, IgG4 and IgA in Groups 2 and 3 increased until 5 years of age and thereafter they remained constant. After 2 years of age, D. farinae-specific IgG, IgG1, IgG4 and IgA in Group 2 were higher than those in Groups 1 and 3. Ovalbumin- and lactalbumin-specific IgG, FgG1, IgG4 and IgA in Groups 2 and 3 increased until 1 year of age and thereafter decreased. Until 1 year of age, ovalbumin- and lactalbumin-specific IgG, IgG1, and IgG4 in Groups 3 were higher than those in Groups 1 and 2. D. farinae-, ovalbumin- and lactalbumin-specilic IgM were constant in all ages of all groups. These results suggest that atopic dermatitis in young children is related to food-specific immunoglobulins and that respiratory allergic diseases in older children is related to D. farinae-specific immunoglobulins.

    Notes: Ninety-five participants were epicutaneous patch tested in order to determine the prevalence of sensitivity to components of dental alloys. Seventeen individuals (17.9%) developed allergic reactions, which were caused by mercury (10.5%), copper (2.1%), nickel, cobalt, tin, gold and zinc (1.1%). Eight of 17 allergic responders had a history of dermatitis from metal contact. The results show that there is a need for careful immunological considerations during the selection of suitable alloys, particularly in the case of patients with lesions suspected of being caused by dental alloys.

    Notes: Six partially or fully edentulous rheumatoid patients participated in the study. By comparing the clinical symptoms and tomograms of the temporomandibular joints (TMJS) pre-prosthesis with those post-prosthesis, this report assesses whether dental treatment could provide positive help for TMJS in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Among the clinical symptoms of TMJ dysfunction, pain from the TMJ region and limitations of movement were improved in all the patients post-prosthesis. Tomographic evidence of desirable remodelling of the condylar heads was observed in two cases.

    Notes: Magnetic transitions in UNiGa were found to cause pronounced anomalies in temperature and magnetic-field dependencies of the electrical resistivity. The resistivity values are drastically reduced by the field induced transition from an antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic phase. The giant magnetoresistance (as large as Δρ/ρ=−87% at T=1.2 K for i(parallel)c) observed in UNiGa is typical for materials characterized by a strong coupling of conduction electrons with highly correlated f electrons. The observed anisotropy of transport properties is closely connected with the strong uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of this compound.

    Notes: An anisotropy for threshold current densities for AlGaInP laser diodes with CuPt-type natural superlattice (NSL) in a Ga0.5In0.5P active layer, grown on a (001) GaAs substrate, was observed, for the first time. Threshold current densities (Jth) for laser diodes with stripes in the [1¯10] and [110] direction were 1.35 and 2.10 kA/cm2, respectively. The lasers with a weak NSL formation in the active layer showed a very small anisotropy in Jth. Stripe direction dependence of electroluminescence (EL) polarization properties were also observed for lasers with well-developed NSL. The anisotropies in Jth and EL polarization properties are attributed to the existence of the NSL in the active layer and the appearance asymmetry previously observed in the NSL.

    Notes: This study examined the serum IgG and IgM responses against Porphyromonas gingivalis and 3 serotypes of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, and the correlations of these responses with age and homologous infection. A total of 90 individuals were included in this study: 40 subjects with gingivitis, 40 periodontally healthy subjects, and 10 adult periodontitis subjects. The subjects in the gingivitis and periodontally healthy groups were divided into 4 stages based on their physiological age: early childhood, school age, puberty, and adult. In the gingivitis group, there was a positive correlation between increase in age and increase in serum IgG antibody levels against P. gingivalis until puberty. However, no statistically significant difference was found between the puberty stage and the adult stage. The average level of IgG antibodies against A. actinomycetemcomitans in the school age gingivitis group was significantly higher than that in the early childhood gingivitis group for all serotypes (p 〈 0.01). In serotype c, IgG antibody levels in the school age gingivitis group were significantly higher than in the early childhood gingivitis group or the adult gingivitis group (p 〈 0.01). With both P. gingivalis and A. actinomycetemcomitans, positive correlations between elevated IgG level and infections by these microorganisms were found in the puberty gingivitis and adult periodontitis groups.

    Notes: Summary We describe a rare carcinoma of the gallbladder containing osteoclast-like giant cells. Well-differentiated adenocarcinoma was found in the mucosa of the fundus, and osteoclast-like giant cells were present mainly in a haemorrhagic mass protruding from the mucosal surface. The metastatic hepatic tumour was composed chiefly, if not exclusively, of osteoclastoma-like cells, but minute carcinomatous elements were also present. There was an apparent transition between the giant cells and tubular structures in both the gallbladder tumour and hepatic tumour. However, ultrastructural study did not reveal any evidence of epithelial differentiation in the giant cells. Immunohistochemical studies suggested that the mononuclear and giant cells were mesenchymal and histiocytic in nature (vimentin and factor XIII a positive). A few exceptional giant cells transforming from the fine tubular structure were positive for epithelial membrane antigen. In conclusion, the osteoclast-like giant cell tumour component was thought to represent mesenchymal metaplasia in pre-existent adenocarcinoma.
