    Notes: Magnetization measurements for the compound SmCo3B2 have been performed on loose powder in magnetic fields to 5 T and in the temperature region from 4.2 to 60 K. A small saturation moment of 0.18 μB/SmCo3B2 at T=4.2 K and its variation with increasing temperature suggest ferrimagnetic ordering in SmCo3B2, which is explained as the effect of a higher order crystalline field coefficient. A magnetic first order transition occurs at T=43 K and metamagnetism occurs in the narrow temperature region between 43 and 47 K, for which some possible discussions are given. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The write field distributions of T-shaped pole heads are presented. The maximum head field in the medium plane for T-shaped heads was larger than that for conventional structure heads. However, the field from the edges of the upper pole is not negligible for the T-shaped heads. As a result, neighboring bit patterns may be affected. To decrease the edge field, it is effective to make the throat height longer and recess the edges of the upper pole from the air bearing surface. Actual T-shaped heads were fabricated and their characterizations were investigated. The results agreed with simulations for longer throat height and for the recessed pole edge effect. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The dependence of polar direction of GaN film on growth conditions has been investigated by changing either the group-V/group-III ratio (V/III ratio) in supplying the source gas or the deposition rate. GaN films were deposited on a nitrided sapphire by two-step metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The surface morphology changed from flat hexagonal to pyramidal hexagonal facet with the increase of V/III ratio. However, the polar direction of GaN on an optimized buffer layer of 20 nm thickness was N-face (−c) polarity, independent of both the V/III ratio and the deposition rate. The polarity of the GaN epitaxtial layer can be determined by that of an interface (nitrided sapphire, annealed buffer layer or GaN substrate) at the deposition of GaN epitaxial layer. The higher V/III ratio enhanced the nucleation density, and reduced the size of hexagonal facets. The nuclei, forming the favorable hexagonal facets of wurtzite GaN, should grow laterally along the {101¯0} directions to cover a room among the facets until coalescence. After coalescence, −c GaN growth on a flat hexagonal facet results in a pyramidal hexagonal facet. The growth mode for −c GaN has been discussed with respect to surface structure and migration length of adsorbing precursors, in comparison with Ga-face (+c) GaN. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: : The factors affecting myosin degradation that occurred during aging following high-pressure treatment over a pressure range from 200 to 600 MPa were investigated by using SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting analysis. The immunoblot pattern of myosin in muscle stored at 37°C for 48 h after pressure treatment at 0. 1 MPa (atmospheric pressure) or 200 MPa for 5 min was similar to that of native myosin incubated with cathepsin D, whereas at 400 or 600 MPa the pattern was close to that of native myosin incubated with cathepsin B. This phenomenon was reflected in the pressure-susceptibilities of cathepsins B and D as reported in the literature (Homma and others 1994). However, these catheptic enzymes released by pressure treatment are unlikely to play a role in pressure-induced tenderization of meat.

    Notes: The functional role of VR1, which we and others have recently identified on several epithelial and mesenchymal human skin cell populations, was investigated in the human hair follicle (HF), as a prototypic epithelial–mesenchymal interaction system. VR1 immunoreactivity was confined to distinct epithelial compartments of HFs in anagen and catagen, while dermal papilla fibroblasts and HF melanocytes were VR1 negative. In organ culture, VR1 activation by capsaicin resulted in a dose-dependent and VR1-specific inhibition of hair shaft elongation, suppression of proliferation, promotion of apoptosis, and induction of catagen transformation, possibly due to upregulation of a potent hair growth inhibitor TGFβ2. Cultured outer root sheath (ORS), as well as HaCaT, keratinocytes also expressed functional VR1, whose stimulation inhibited proliferation, induced apoptosis, and elevated intracellular calcium concentration. Finally, VR1 stimulation of cultured ORS keratinocytes upregulated the expression of recognized endogenous hair growth inhibitors (IL-1β and TGFβ2) and downregulated the expression of stimulators (HGF, IGF-1, and SCF), while key differentiation markers (CK17, CK14, filaggrin, and involucrin) remained unaffected. In conclusion, VR1 is a significant novel player in human hair growth control underscoring that its physiological functions in human skin far extend beyond sensory neuron-coupled nociception.

    Notes: Paratropomyosin is a minor myofibrillar protein which in freshly prepared myofibrils is exclusively localized at the A-I junction region of sarcomeres. We investigated the ultrastructural localization of paratropomyosin in intact and postrigor myofibrils by immunoelectron microscopy. Paratropomyosin was localized as two distinct stripes at the A-I junction in intact myofibrils. It also was localized at the position corresponding to the original A-I junction in thick filament-free myofibrils (I-Z-I brushes). However, following postmortem storage, paratropomyosin was found broadly distributed in thin filaments of myofibrils.

    Notes: Serotonin is involved in female sexual behaviour in which the medial preoptic area (MPA) has a pivotal role. The present study used immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization and retrograde transport analysis to investigate whether serotonin neurones in the dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) of females projecting into the MPA contained oestrogen receptor α or β. The projection of serotonin neurones from the DRN to the MPA was confirmed using the microinjection of Fluoro-Gold (FG), a fluorescent retrograde tracer, into the MPA of ovariectomized (OVX-group) and OVX-rats treated with oestradiol benzoate (E2-group). A number of serotonin neurones in the DRN were labelled with FG, indicating that these serotonin neurones in DRN project their terminals into the MPA. FG-labelled serotonin neurones expressed ERβ mRNA in the DRN, and the number of the serotonin neurones containing ERβ mRNA between the OVX-group and the E2-treated group was not significantly different. Serotonin neurones in the DRN did not express ERα-immunoreactivity. Since previous findings showed that the density of serotonin-immunoreactive fibres and the concentration of serotonin within the MPA was significantly lower in the E2-group than the OVX-group, our present observations suggested that the regulatory effects of E2 on the serotonergic neurone system in the MPA may be via ERβ within the serotonin-containing cells in the DRN of female rats.

    Notes: The aetiology of rapidly destructive arthropathy is still being debated. We report a 48-year-old male haemophiliac who exhibited hip arthropathy that was similar to rapidly destructive arthropathy. The hip joint was destroyed 6 months after the onset of symptoms. Results of clinical and laboratory examinations did not show any features of neuropathic, inflammatory or septic arthropathy, except for coagulopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed an expansive joint capsule with synovial proliferation in the affected hip joint. Total hip arthroplasty was carried out successfully with total resection of the synovial tissue and joint capsule. A histological examination revealed bone necrosis, nonspecific inflammation, haemosiderosis and synovial hypertrophy. The recurrent bleeding into the hip joint induced pronounced inflammation with synovial proliferation and acute destruction of bony tissue.

    Notes: Background Although interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-5 have been demonstrated to play a critical role in the pathophysiology of allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis, the mechanism that causes the predominance of Th2 lymphocytes has yet to be clarified. Thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) has been known to facilitate the recruitment, activation and development of Th2 polarized cells, leading investigators to suggest a role for TARC in the development of Th2 responses.Objective To gain a better understanding of the role of TARC in the pathogenesis of allergic rhinitis we investigated the cellular sources of this chemokine in nasal mucosa. In addition, the effect of cytokines on TARC production has been investigated.Methods The expression of TARC in human nasal mucosa was assessed by immunohistochemistry. To study the effect of cytokines on TARC production, epithelial cells, endothelial cells and fibroblasts, isolated from inferior nasal mucosa samples, were stimulated by a variety of cytokines including IL-4, IL-13, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interferon (IFN)-γ.Results Epithelial cells in nasal mucosa in subjects with allergic rhinitis expressed higher signal level than those in non-allergy patients. Combined stimulation with IL-4 and TNF-α, as well as IL-13 and TNF-α, synergistically induced TARC expression in epithelial cells. Furthermore, the amount of TARC induced by these cytokines was higher in epithelial cells obtained from patients with allergic rhinitis than in those from non-allergic patients.Conclusion These results demonstrate a crucial role of nasal epithelial cells in the expression of TARC, and that Th2 cytokine IL-4 and IL-13 may promote Th2 responses by inducing TARC production from epithelial cells.
