    Notes: The coercive forces and anisotropy fields of Fe-Ru-Ga-Si films deposited on 30° tilted substrates were measured for varying chemical compositions and crystal orientations. The minimum coercivity and minimum in-plane magnetic anisotropy were observed at an iron-rich composition corresponding to a substantial magnitude of anisotropy constant: K1=6×103 (J/m3). From an orientation analysis of the crystal aggregate, this optimization with the large K1 was understood to be a result of the cancellation of the shape anisotropy by the crystalline anisotropy.

    Notes: To clarify the significance of basic fetoprotein (BFP) in lymphocytes, we investigated whether BFP is produced in lymphocytes during blastic transformation. Peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from 14 adults were cultured under the stimulation of lectins. The concentration of BFP in the culture medium (extracellular BFP) was estimated serially. The incorporation of [6-3 H] thymidine was assayed simultaneously. The intracellular BFP was measured by dual flow cytometry for DNA and BFP. A lymph node was studies immunohistochemically. Serum BFP was measured in four cases of lumphocytic leukaemia. In two cases, dual staining was performed. The intracellular BFP of the mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes was increased within 24 h. The extracellular BFP was increased exponentially from 72 h. The extracellular BFP at 96 h did not correlate with the [3H]-thymidine incorporation. The intracellular BFP increase began in G1 phase. Immunostaining showed that the B cells also produced BFP. Theserum BFP level in leukaemia was high in 1 of 4 cases and the leukaemic cells in two cases showed high intracellular BFP content. These observations indicate that BFP is produced in activated human lymphocytes and in lymphocytic leukaemic cells. The production of BFP during blastic transformation will be a useful new in vitro model for studying the biological role of BFP, and BFP labelling may offer some new possibilities for study of lymphocytes.

    Notes: Abstract The pathogenesis of delayed sequelae of carbon monoxide (CO) exposure is still unknown. We repeatedly examined a 55-year-old woman with the interval form of CO poisoning, using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). When the clinical picture was severe, MRS revealed markedly lowered N-acetyl-asparatate (NAA)/creatine and phosphocreatine (Cr) ratio and slightly increased choline containing compounds (Cho)/Cr ratio. Subsequently, NAA and Cho/Cr ratio tended to return to normal, reflecting clinical improvement. Proton MRS shows the previously unrecognised neuronal activity in CO poisoning and precisely reflects the severity of symptoms. We stress the superiority of proton MRS over the conventional radiological examinations in CO poisoning.

    Notes: Summary In this study, the authors evaluate the importance of computed tomography (CT) in 15 patients who underwent surgical treatment for cervical disc disease. In nine operated on by an anterior approach, all CT examinations were interpreted as positive for disc herniation and correlated precisely with surgical observations. CT demonstrated protrusion of the disc, centrally in four and posterolaterally in five in all of whom disc material was found posterior to the vertebral body. Of six who underwent laminectomy, either thickening or calcification of the ligamentum flavum was demonstrated by CT and confirmed at surgery in five. Vacuum phenomenon in the intervertebral space and hypertrophy of the intervertebral joint were not infrequently associated. CT can exactly delineate cervical disc lesions and associated pathological changes.

    Notes: The definition of a lattice and its superlattice is given algebraically. A coincidence site lattice (CSL) is defined as an intersection lattice of any two crystal lattices, and a complete pattern-shift lattice (DSCL) as the set theoretically smallest lattice containing both crystal lattices as superlattices. In the case where the two lattices are related by a non-singular matrix (having non-zero determinant), the so-called 0-lattice may be generated from the two crystal lattices. Any translation of the 0-lattice by all the vectors of one of the crystal lattices forms a lattice, i.e. a reduced 0-lattice. As a result of the theory of groups and numbers, the reduced 0-lattice (abbreviated to ROL) is homomorphic to the DSCL. It is shown that the factor group of all cosets of lattice 1 in the DSCL (in the ROL) is isomorphic with the factor group of all cosets of the CSL in lattice 2 (in the 0-lattice). The volume of a unit cell is derived for all the lattices generated by the two crystal lattices. Secondly, the reciprocal of a lattice is introduced and the reciprocity between the CSL and the DSCL determined by the reciprocals of the two crystal lattices is shown as a special case of a theorem mentioned about modules over a ring. Finally a complete diagram of relationships between b-lattices and 0-lattices for direct lattices and reciprocal lattices is given.

    Notes: Summary To clarify the implication of the major histocompatibility complex class II (Ia) antigen induction in microglia following Wallerian degeneration in the central nervous system (CNS), experimental allergic encephalitis (EAE) was adoptively transferred to Lewis rats in which Ia antigens had been induced in microglia at the sites of Wallerian degeneration. In addition to randomly distributed typical EAE lesions, the recipient rats developed distinct inflammatory lesions in accord with the distribution of Ia-positive microglia; i.e., in the ipsilateral thalamus after cortical cryoinjury, and in the ipsilateral optic nerve, the contralateral optic tract and superior colliculus after unilateral eye ball enucleation. Thus, the EAE locus may be targeted by this approach. The inflammatory response was inducible by transfer of myelin basic protein-stimulated lymphocytes but not by transfer of phytohemagglutinin-stimulated or non-stimulated lymphocytes. When examined using monoclonal antibody surface markers; OX-6 for Ia antigen, W3/13 for pan T lymphocyte and OX-8 for cytotoxic/suppresser T lymphocyte, the types of lymphocytes in these lesions did not differ from those in ordinary EAE lesions in the spinal cord. The potential role of non-immunologically induced Ia-positive cell clusters that serve as a target for autoimmune CNS diseases was discussed.

    Notes: Summary An autopsy case of human T lymphotropic virus I-associated myelopathy (HAM) of a duration of 28 years in a 61-year-old man with serological confirmation of HTLV-I infection was reported. The spinal cord was grossly atrophic. There was severe symmetrical degeneration of the lateral funiculi, particularly of the bilateral pyramidal tracts, involving all levels of the spinal cord, but anterior horn cells were relatively well preserved. In the most severely damaged middle and lower thoracic segments, the white matter degeneration also involved the anterior funiculi. In the degenerated white matter, both the myelin and axons were equally lost and had been replaced by glial scars. Marked adventitial fibrosis was commonly seen in small parenchymal vessls in both the white and gray matter. Although there was no evidence of inflammation in the spinal cord, mild lymphocytic infiltration was occasionally observed in the subarachnoid and perivascular spaces in the brain stem, cerebellum and cerebrum. This case was considered as a burnt-out case of HAM.

    Notes: Summary The authors report the surgical results of 28 patients with syringomyelia associated with Chiari malformation (type 1). 28 patients underwent 34 operative procedures. Syringo-subarachnoid shunt was performed in 28 patients, foramen magnum decompression with syringo-subarachnoid shunt in three, ventriculo-peritoneal shunt in one, terminal syringostomy in one, and foramen magnum decompression with terminal syringostomy in one. In an average postoperative follow-up period of 3 years and 9 months ranging from one year to 7 years and one month, neurological symptoms and signs improved in 24 out of 28 patients (82%). Some improvement was noted in sensory deficit and motor weakness. In 3 patients, the symptoms did not change. In 3 patients whose symptoms were unchanged, preoperative studies demonstrated atrophy of the spinal cord, in which irreversible changes were shown. The symptoms deteriorated in one patient. In one patient whose symptoms increased 3 months after syringo-subarachnoid shunt, shunt insufficiency due to postoperative adhesive arachnoiditis was responsible for neurological deterioration. The authors propose that syringo-subarachnoid shunt is effective as a surgical procedure for syringomyelia associated with Chiari malformation (type 1) if the patient does not have symptoms due to Chiari malformation or has only mild signs and symptoms which do not require foramen magnum decompression, such as nystagmus or atrophy of sternocleidomastoid muscle.

    Notes: Abstract  The extracellular phospholipase D (PLD) gene from Streptomyces antibioticus was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. Analysis of DNA sequence data revealed a putative ribosome-binding site and an open reading frame encoding a 556-amino-acid protein that included amino acid sequences obtained from the purified enzyme. The protein was expressed in an insoluble form in E. coli, but reacted with antibody against PLD. After solubilization of the protein with guanidine-HCl and 2-mercaptoethanol, subsequent dialysis restored the PLD activity. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence data with the N-terminal protein sequence indicates that this secreted protein is synthesized as a larger precursor with a 47-amino-acid N-terminal extension to the mature enzyme of 509 amino acids. The amino acid sequence of the S. antibioticus PLD was extensively compared with other PLDs and phospholipase C (PLC). The deduced amino acid sequence of the cloned PLD was highly homologous to PLDs from S. acidomyceticus and Streptomyces sp., and contained a conserved region with S. chromofuscus PLD. From comparisons of the structural similarity and properties of the various PLDs, a classification of PLDs into two subgroups has been proposed and the highly conserved region designated tentatively region XP L D, which may be important in the catalytic function, has been identified. The homology comparison between our PLD and phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) is also discussed.
