    Notes: A unit standard map for YBa2Cu3O7−x superconductors was constructed and indexed from a series of electron channeling patterns (ECPs). (001) pole figures of YBa2Cu3O7−x tapes and bulk specimens with various values of critical current density (Jc) were drawn by using the map covering [001-1¯1¯0-1¯10] stereographic quadrant and ECPs taken from individual grains of the specimens. It was found that preferred orientation of (001) formed in the tape with a decreasing thickness of the tape, which raised Jc significantly. It is concluded that the ECP technique is very useful for the analysis of orientation distribution in small-sized YBa2Cu3O7−x specimens such as tapes or thin films.

    Notes: Critical current densities Jc of silver sheathed Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 and Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 composite tapes fabricated by a partial melt and a powder-in-tube process, respectively, were measured at 4.2, 27, and 64 K as a function of applied magnetic field and the angle between the tape face and the direction of applied magnetic field. These measurements indicate that (1) the fraction of the grain boundaries, which are strongly coupled, are greater in the Bi(2:2:1:2)/Ag tapes than in the Bi(2:2:2:3)/Ag tapes; (2) the alignment of the Bi cuprate platelets with the c-axis perpendicular to the tape face is significantly greater for the Bi(2:2:1:2) than for the Bi(2:2:2:3)/Ag tapes; and (3) the E-J curves for both kinds of the tapes are described well by an expression, E∼exp[−(J0/J)μ], where μ and J0 are constants below their transition magnetic fields H*g.

    Notes: We have examined the cytoplasmic distribution of actin and fibronectin in cultured neurofibroma tells (NF cells) derived from a patient with von Recklinghausen's disease by using phase contrast and indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, NF cells were larger in size and more dendritic in shape compared to normal human dermal fibroblasts. NF cells also showed abundant granular staining of actin and a decrease in the linear staining pattern of fibronectin. Furthermore, employing a colony-formation assay on the top of an agar-gel in the presence of fibroblast growth factor (FGF), normal fibroblasts showed a significant number of colonies, whereas NF cells did not demonstrate colony formation even after addition of FGF. These findings suggests that NF cells from patients with von Recklinghausen's disease may have different characteristics when compared with normal fibroblasts, and that NF cells are similar to transformed cells with regard to their actin and fibronectin distribution.

    Notes: Effects of soft lining materials on the growth and/or acid production of Candida albicans were investigated using a simplified method monitoring the pH change in the growth medium. Reverse sigmoidal pH curves were observed with all samples and, as compared with acrylic, all soft lining materials inhibited fungal growth or acid production in the following way, i.e. delay of the beginning of a rapid and linear decline in pH, decreases in the rate of linear change in pH and increases in minimum pH.Further examinations using a surface-modified glass tube revealed that the order of Candida growth agreed with the relative hydrophobicity and adherence capacity of substrates, suggesting that this adherence capacity affected the yeast growth on their surfaces.Besides adherence capacities of substrates, the powder, liquid and plasticizer of some soft lining materials directly inhibited Candida growth. Thus, the results obtained here revealed that several factors within soft lining materials affected Candida growth and/or acid production.

    Notes: Summary We have developed a quantitative method for measuring hair growth using optical microscopy and image analysis, and have used this to investigate the rate of growth in subjects with and without alopecia. The hairs were cut from an area 7–8 mm in diameter and 24 h and 72 h later, images of the areas were obtained using an optical microscope and were recorded on a video disc. Measurements of the regrowing hairs, placed parallel to the scalp using a glass slide attached to the front of the microscope, were made using the image analyser.In subjects with little or no baldness there was a clear difference between fast-growing hairs and resting or slow-growing hairs. However, in subjects with alopecia there was no such difference and the growth rate of all the hairs showed a continuous distribution. Using this method other parameters such as the number of hairs per unit area and hair diameter as well as grouping of the hairs could be measured.

    Notes: Abstract Leflunomide (HWA 486, a novel isoxazol derivative), shown to have potent immunosuppressant and antiinflammatory effects, was evaluated for its inhibitory and therapeutic effects on the glomerulonephritis induced in rats by rabbit antiserum against rat glomerular basement membrane. Leflunomide was administered orally to rats at 0.5 and 2 mg/kg/day for 20 days from 2 days before injection of the rabbit antiserum and at 2 mg/kg/day for 14 days from 5 days after the antibody injection. The present study consisting of 2 experiments for inhibitory (I) and therapeutic (II) effects of leflunomide revealed the following effects at 2 mg/kg: in experiment I, significant decreases in (a) urinary total protein, (b) plasma total cholesterol and fibrinogen and (c) thymus weight, and decreased incidences of fibrin deposits in Bowman's space, adhesion of the glomerulus to Bowman's capsule and deposition of rat IgG and C3; and in experiment II, decreases in (a), (b) and (c), though smaller than in experiment I, and decreases deposition of rat C3. Thus, leflunomide had potent inhibitory and limited therapeutic effects on glomerulonephritis, suggesting that the compound is effective in inhibiting the onset and development of glomerulonephritis.

    Notes: Summary Temporary occlusion of the internal carotid artery with a balloon atheter (balloon Matas test) and simultaneous dynamic computerized tomography scanning (DCT) were performed to determine the tolerance of permanent carotid occlusion in eight cerebral aneurysm and two carotid-cavernous fistula (CCF) cases, in whom internal carotid occlusion might be necessary during operation or as a choice of treatment. All patients were evaluated by mean transit time (MTT), especially % transit time (MTT of the occluded side×100/MTT of the control side). In six patients, % transit time (%TT) was less than 155 and no neurological signs appeared after permanent internal carotid occlusion. Neurological deficit appeared when mean arterial blood pressure was 80, and disappeared when mean arterial blood pressure was 100 during the balloon Matas test in a case whose %TT was 200. Neurological deficit appeared several seconds after the balloon Matas test in a case whose %TT was 250. The critical %TT value to cause symptomatic ischaemia was 200 from our results. Therefore, it is necessary to undertake treatment such as bypass surgery for the patients whose %TT is near 200, even if the balloon Matas test was negative.

    Notes: Summary Changes in tumour blood flow under an induced hypertensive state were examined in malignant brain tumours to know if the precondition for the effectiveness of induced hypertensive chemotherapy — relative increase in tumour blood flow — are fulfilled. Tumour blood flow was measured under both a resting and an induced hypertensive state in 12 patients with various malignant brain tumours (6 gliomas, 6 metastatic brain tumours) using xenon-enhanced computed tomography. The blood pressure was elevated 40% above the systemic blood pressure of the resting state by the infusion of angiotensin II. Tumour blood flow increased 30% on average above the normal brain tissue blood flow after the induction of an induced hypertensive state (p 〈 0.05). The tumour blood flow increased in 11 cases of malignant tumours, but decreased in one case with massive brain oedema after induced hypertension. The increase in blood flow was higher in hypervascular tumours and less in hypovascular tumours. Therefore, induced hypertensive chemotherapy probably will be more effective in hypervascular malignant brain tumours with small mass effects.
