    Prostaglandin E2 suppresses phytohemagglutin-induced immune responses of normal human monoculear cells by decreasing intracellular glutathione generation, but not due to increased DNA strand breaks or apoptosis (1993)

    Notes: Abstract Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) at concentrations more than 1×10−8 M markedly suppressed the cell proliferation and release of soluble molecules of interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R), CD4 (sCD4) and CD8 (sCD8) from phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated normal human mononuclear cells (MNC) in a dose-related manner. To further elucidate the subcellular mechanism of the inhibitory effect of PGE2 on PHA-stimulated MNC, intracellular concentration of glutathione (GSH) in PHA-stimulated MNC was sequentially measured from day 1 to day 3 by enzymic method. Furthermore, the effect of PGE2 on nuclear DNA including DNA strand breaks in alkali treatment and DNA fragmentation (apoptosis) of PHA-stimulated MNC were also measured. We found intracellular GSH levels were significantly decreased in the early stage of lymphocyte activation (day 1), but no evidence of increased DNA stand breaks or apoptotic process appeared in 3-day culture. In addition, butathione sulfoximine (a specific GSH inhibitor) and dibutyryl cyclic AMP also exhibited both proliferation inhibition and GSH-decreasing effect on PHA-stimulated MNC as well as PGE2. These results suggest that the immunosupressive effect of PGE2 is mediated by the decreased generation of intracellular GSH, but not by the increased DNA strand breaks or apoptotic mechanism in the cells.

    Notes: Abstract This paper considers large elastoplastic deformations of an internally pressurized hollow sphere of dilatant soil. A complete analytical solution for the expansion of a hollow sphere is developed. The soil is modelled as an elastic-perfectly plastic material obeying the Mohr-Coulomb yield criterion. A non-associated plastic flow rule is used and therefore the dilation of the material is fully taken into account. Closed form solutions are obtained for the stresses and the elastic-plastic deformations of arbitrary magnitude when a hollow sphere of soil is subjected to constant external pressure and monotonically increasing internal pressure. A selection of numerical results is presented to indicate the effects of various key parameters

    In Vitro Release of Endogenous Dopamine from the Striatum of the Weaver Mutant Mouse (1991)

    Notes: : The weaver mutant mouse has a genetically determined defect in the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system. The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that in the weaver mutant mouse, striatal nerve terminals undergo compensatory changes in response to this deficiency. To test this hypothesis, we studied the basal and stimulated release of dopamine from striatal slices of weaver mutant mice and matched controls. By using a superfusion system and concentrating the superfusate by passage over alumina, resting dopamine release could be determined in the weaver mutant despite the fact that striatal tissue content of dopamine in these mice is reduced by 〉75% compared with control mice. Fractional resting release of dopamine in weaver striatal slices was significantly elevated compared with that in controls, suggesting that the release mechanisms in the weaver may be adapting to overcome the dopamine deficit. Potassium-evoked release (24 and 48 mM potassium) was not significantly different between the two genotypes. In contrast, amphetamine-evoked release (1 μM) was significantly greater in the weaver mice than in controls. In both genotypes, release evoked by amphetamine was completely inhibited by cocaine, implicating the dopamine uptake carrier in this release process. These findings suggest that fundamental differences in dopamine release mechanisms exist between weaver and control mice and support the hypothesis that compensatory mechanisms may develop in neurons in response to dopamine deficits.

    Occupational asthma caused by chromium (1994)

    Notes: Summary. We report four cases of occupational asthma caused by chromium salts, three of whom showed dual and one isolated early asthmatic responses on specific chromium bronchoprovocation test (BPT). All of them were ex–smokers. Two showed positive skin–prick tests to 10mg/ml of Cr2(SO4)3, but negative results on patch testing. The remaining two showed positive results on patch testing with Cr2(SO4)3. Three had airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine on initial examination. Although initial methacholine airway challenge testing showed a negative result in the remaining patient, airway hyperresponsiveness developed transiently 24 h after an isolated immediate asthmatic reaction induced by chromium. Three patients were reassessed after complete avoidance of chromium. Two subjects showed marked improvement of their symptoms with significant increases of PC20 methacholine. We conclude that chromium induces occupational asthma in exposed workers. Further investigations are needed to clarify the pathogenetic mechanism.

    Notes: The isostructural uranium monopnictides and monochalcogenides have become prototype systems in actinide research with respect to their unusual magnetic properties. We have investigated the origins in the electronic structure of the variation in magnetic behavior as the degree of 5f-electron localization changes from localized to itinerant on going up the pnictogen or chalcogen column, thus decreasing the U-U separation. We have applied a synthesis of: (1) A phenomenological theory of orbitally driven magnetic ordering which includes both the hybridization-induced and the RKKY exchange interactions on an equal footing, and (2) Ab initio electronic structure calculations, based on the linear-muffin-tin-orbital method, allowing a first-principles evaluation of the parameters entering the model Hamiltonian. We have investigated systematically characteristic trends and changes of the 5f-state resonance width, the hybridization potential, and the hybridization-induced and RKKY exchange interactions with chemical environment, on going down the pnictogen or chalcogen column and on going from the weakly hybridizing pnictides to the more strongly hybridizing chalcogenides.

    Notes: Equations of state for hard sphere chain molecules are derived within the framework of second order perturbation theory of polymerization (TPT2). The present formulation differs from the original Wertheim's treatment by dealing with molecules with a fixed number of beads. However, the two versions yield very close numerical results for chains composed of freely jointed spheres, showing the insensitivity of the pressure of these fluids to polydispersity. The case of star-like molecules and chain mixtures is also considered. Theoretical predictions are compared to available simulation data, using recent results for the triplet correlation function for hard spheres in rolling contact. Some predictions for the pressure of freely rotating chains and that of trimers as a function of the bond angle are given.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper, two types of problems of the optimal design of cylindrical shells with arbitrary axisymmetrical boundary conditions and distributed load, under the condition of the volume being constant, are discussed. These problems involve the minimax deflection and minimal compliancy of a cylindrical shell. Expressions of the objective function can be obtained by a stepped reduction method. In minimizing the maximum deflection, the position of the maximum deflection from the previous iteration is used as the next one. This procedure converges (Avriel 1976). Several examples are provided to illustrate the method.

    Quantitative differences in sperm cells and organelles of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) grown under differing environmental conditions (1994)

    Notes: Abstract In flowers grown at warm temperatures in environmental chambers and at cooler temperatures in the greenhouse, eight parameters of the sperm-cell organization of Nicotiana tabacum were examined during sperm cell maturation using serial ultrathin sectioning, transmission electron microscopy and quantitative cytology. Despite employing the same seed source, and similar soil and nutrient conditions, the surface area and volume of the cell, the nucleus and the chondriome were larger in flowers grown in growth chambers under warmer controlled conditions, whereas the number of plastids appeared to be the same, or slightly higher, in flowers grown under cooler greenhouse conditions. These results suggest that environmental conditions may influence the quantity of cytoplasmic organelles, including mitochondria and plastids, thus potentially influencing the likelihood of male cytoplasmic inheritance.
