    Notes: Summary The ability of insulin and the S-sulphonate A and B-chain derivatives to bind to a receptor on cultured human lymphocytes was evaluated. A receptor site for the S-sulphonate A-chain was identified and was strongly influenced by the intact insulin molecule. S-sulphonate A-chain weakly interfered with insulin binding. S-sulphonate B-chain showed no evidence of significant binding and did not interfere with insulin or S-sulphonate A chain binding.14CO2 production from14C-1-glucose was stimulated by insulin in cultured lymphocytes and this effect was blunted by S-sulphonate A-chain. The sulphhydryl blocking agent used in the production of insulin A-chain appears to be of critical importance.

    Notes: Summary We evaluated a 35-year-old diabetic male patient with type A insulin resistance, showing acanthosis nigricans. Insulin binding to the patient's Epstein-Barr-virus transformed lymphocytes was mildly reduced. The maximal insulin-stimulated autophosphorylation of the insulin receptor from the patient's transformed lymphocytes was decreased to 45% of that from the control subjects. On examination, the biological activities of insulin and insulin-like growth factor I in the patient's cultured fibroblasts, insulin sensitivity of amino isobutyric acid uptake and thymidine incorporation was decreased, but insulin-like growth factor I action was normal. The sequence analysis of amplified genomic DNA revealed that the patient was heterozygous for a mutation substituting Leu for Trp at codon 1193 in exon 20 of the insulin receptor gene. The patient's mother and sister were also heterozygous for a mutation in the insulin receptor gene that substituted Leu for Trp1193 in the Β subunit of the receptor. Therefore, the mutation causes insulin resistance in a dominant fashion. They were less hyperglycaemic and more hyperinsulinaemic than the proband after glucose loading. The mother had diabetes mellitus but did not show acanthosis nigricans, while the sister did not have diabetes and showed acanthosis nigricans. These results suggest that this mutation causes defective tyrosine kinase activity of the insulin receptor, which results in insulin resistance. Insulin action and phenotypic appearance may be mediated by different factors.

    Notes: Summary Glucose oxidation and lipogenesis were studied in isolated adipocytes from control and nonobese, experimentally hyperinsulinaemic rats. In cells from the hyperinsulinaemic animals oxidation of either [1-14C]- or [6-14C] glucose was increased in the presence or absence of insulin, at substrate concentrations from 0.1 to 20 mmol/l. Glucose incorporation into total triglycerides and fatty acids was also increased. These enhanced rates of glucose metabolism were due to increased activity of the glucose transport system in addition to increased activity of intracellular glucose metabolism. Therefore, these data indicate that insulin can influence long term glucose homoeostasis by augmenting the overall cellular capacity for glucose metabolism at several loci.

    Notes: Abstract We report on a Japanese girl with short stature, malar hypoplasia, up-slanting palpebral fissures, blue sclerae and thin, stiff and slightly brownish hair. Short stature started in utero and her psychomotor development was normal. Menarche appeared at 13 years 8 months. Height at 14 years 5 months was 132 cm (−4.6 SD). Her growth hormone (GH) sleep pattern and responses to insulin,l-dopa, arginine, propranolol-glucagon and growth hormone-releasing hormone were normal. Plasma insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) was high (2170–4860 units/l) and increased from 4860 to 7080 units/l 20 h after biosynthetic GH injection. Gel infiltration patterns of the free and protein-bound IGF-I in plasma from the patient were not different from the controls; IGF-I fraction of the high and low molecular weight binding protein and the non-protein bound fraction were 75.5%, 15.8% and 8.7%, respectively. IGF-I from the patient showed normal bioactivities when determined by [35S]sulphate and [3H]thymidine uptake into cultured rat chondrocytes, and by [3H]thymidine and [3H]α-aminoisobutyric acid uptake into the patient's skin fibroblasts. IGF-I binding to cultured skin fibroblasts from the patient was comparable to that of controls. These results suggest that tissue specific defects of IGF-I receptors may be the cause of increased IGF-I levels in the patient.

    Notes: Summary The purification of a substance which protects mitochondrial activity against its decay in association with various cerebral pathologies, and the effect of this substancein vitro andin vivo have been mentioned. Defatted egg albumin was hydrolyzed with pronase, and diafiltrated through mesh, to obtain fractions of molecular weight less than 5,000. The diafiltrate was further fractionated using Sephadex G-25 column chromatography, and a fraction which had a protective action against the decay of mitochondrial DNP-ATPase activity was gathered. This digested egg albumin (DEA 5,000 S) showed no immunological reaction and seemingly penetrated well through the cell membrane. DEA 5,000 S prevented the decay of DNP-ATPase activity and swelling of brain mitochondria during agingin vitro. Also, the administration of DEA 5,000 Sin vivo shortened the duration of unconsciousnees and reduced EEG abnormalities in rats subjected to hypoxia in a special chamber filled with N2 gas. It is suggested that this Digested Egg Albumin has a marked action in restoring the function of metabolically impaired brain.

    Notes: The antiviral extract from Rhodopseudomonas capsulata was purified and the predominant active component was defined as cis-vaccenic acid (C1- 8:1 Δ11) by gas-liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analyses. Antiviral activities of unsaturated fatty acids and related alcohols against T5 phage were also tested. Among them, linoelaidic acid, oleic acid, and petroselenyl alcohol inactivated 98%, 53%, 67% of T5 phage at the concentration of 50 μ g/ml, respectively.

    Notes: Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, injected with a water fraction extracted from abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, showed enhanced phagocytosis. This enhanced activity reached its maximum level 5 days after injection. The natural killer cell activities and the chemiluminescence responses of kidney leukocytes in fish treated with this fraction were also significantly increased, compared to those in albumin-treated fish. Rainbow trout injected intraperitoneally with this fraction showed an increased resistance to Vibrio anguillarum.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Zusammenfassung Immunomodulationseffekte bei Regenbogenforellen, Oncorhynchus mykiss, nach Injektion von Aba-lone-Entrakt, Haliotis discus hannaiBei Regenbogenforellen, Oncorynchus mykiss, denen ein wäßriger Extrakt der Abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, injiziert wurde, konnte eine gesteigerte Phagocytoseaktivität beobachtet werden.

    Notes: Epitaxial ZnSe/epitaxial GaAs interfaces have been formed by molecular beam expitaxy and evaluated by several techniques including capacitance-voltage measurements. In the study reported here, the GaAs surface stoichiometry was systematically varied prior to the nucleation of ZnSe. A dramatic reduction of interface state density occurred when the GaAs epilayer was made As deficient. The resulting interface state densities of as-grown structures are comparable to values obtained with (Al,Ga)As/GaAs interfaces.

    Notes: Co/Pd multilayered films exhibit large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and have attracted attention as new materials for recording media and for other applications. The coercivity (Hc), however, is small in as-sputtered films. We have found that Hc increased markedly with the atmospheric annealing at 300 °C to 2 kOe, and studied the change in film structure and reason of the increase in Hc with the annealing. The rf magnetron sputtering method was employed in fabricating the films. Film structure changes were observed by x-ray diffraction, Auger electron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectrography, and atomic force microscopy. The increase in Hc was observed only in the atmospheric annealing, and not in the vacuum-annealing. The internal structure of films after the atmospheric annealing at 300 °C consisted of columnar parts that had the multilayered structure that undertook vertical magnetization and column boundaries being surrounded by Co oxides. As a consequence, domain wall binding occurs in the segregated areas of the oxides in the column boundaries, thereby increasing Hc.
