    Notes: Ultra-short-pulse reflectometry is studied by means of the numerical integration of one- and two-dimensional full-wave equations for ordinary and extraordinary modes propagating in a plasma. The numerical calculations illustrate the use of the reflection of ultra-short-pulse microwaves as an effective probe of the density or magnetic profile in the presence of density or magnetic fluctuations in the plasma. Bragg resonance effects can be identified in the reflected signals, which give information on fluctuations. It is also demonstrated that ultra-short-pulse reflectometry can be used to perform correlation reflectometry measurements in which correlation lengths for density fluctuations are deduced from the observed cross-correlation function of phase shifts as a function of frequency. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The medical records of 209 dogs receivingtotal parenteral nutrition (TPN) over a 84-month period were examined retrospectively to determine patient profiles, frequency and type of complications, and prognostic factors affecting clinical outcome. TPN administration accounted for 895 patient days. Dogs with diarrhea or vomiting associated with gastrointestinal disease, pancreatitis, or renal failure constituted the largest proportion of patient receiving TPN. The median duration of TPN administration was 3.5 days (range 0.05 to 25 days). The median length of hospitalization before initiation of TPN was 1.5 days (range 0.05 days to 15 days). and this durationwas not associated with survival. Metabolic complications were frequent (329 of 473 complications observed) and were due predominantly to hyperglycemia. Mechanical (118 of 473) and septic (26 of 473) complications occurred less commonly. The overall mortality rate for dogs receiving TPN was 48.8%. Our conclusion: TPN can be a beneficial mode of therapy for carefully selected dogs that have impaired gastrointestinal function (parvovirus, pancreatitis, or inflammatory bowel disease) and are expected to be anorectic for morethan 5 days.

    Notes: Abstract: We examined the interdependence of calpain and protein kinase C (PKC) activities on neurite outgrowth in SH-SY-5Y human neuroblastoma cells. SH-SY-5Y cells elaborated neurites when deprived of serum or after a specific thrombin inhibitor, hirudin, was added to serum-containing medium. The extent of neurite outgrowth under these conditions was enhanced by treatment of cells with the cell-permeant cysteine protease inhibitors N-acetyl-leucyl-leucyl-norleucinal (“C1”) and calpeptin or by the phospholipid-mediated intracellular delivery of either a recombinant peptide corresponding to a conserved inhibitory sequence of human calpastatin or a neutralizing anti-calpain antisera. Calpain inhibition in intact cells was confirmed by immunoblot analysis showing inhibition of calpain autolysis and reduced proteolysis of the known calpain substrates fodrin and microtubule-associated protein 1. The above inhibitory peptides and antiserum did not induce neurites in medium containing serum but lacking hirudin, suggesting that increased surface protein adhesiveness is a prerequisite for enhancement of neurite outgrowth by calpain inhibition. Treatment of cells with the PKC inhibitor H7, staurosporine, or sphingosine induced neurite outgrowth independently of serum concentration. Because calpain is thought to regulate PKC activity, we examined this potential interrelationship during neurite outgrowth. Simultaneous treatment with calpain and PKC inhibitors did not produce additive or synergistic effects on neurite outgrowth. PKC activation by 2-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) prevented and reversed both neurite initiation by serum deprivation and its enhancement by calpain inhibitors. Treatment of cells with the calpain inhibitor C1 retarded PKC down-regulation following TPA treatment. Cell-free analyses demonstrated the relative specificity of various protease and kinase inhibitors for calpain and PKC and confirmed the ability of millimolar calcium-requiring calpain to cleave the SH-SY-5Y PKC regulatory subunit from the catalytic subunit, yielding a free catalytic subunit (protein kinase M). These findings suggest that the influence of PKC on neurite outgrowth is downstream from that of surface adhesiveness and calpain activity.

    Notes: Abstract: Calcium influx into SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells after ionophore treatment or transient permeabilization in calcium-containing medium increased ALZ-50 immunoreactivity markedly. This increase was prevented by inhibitors active against calpain or against protein kinase C (PKC), suggesting that both of these enzymes were required to mediate the effect of calcium influx on ALZ-50 immunoreactivity. Treatment with PKC activator TPA increased ALZ-50 immunoreactivity in the absence of calcium influx or after intracellular delivery of the specific calpain inhibitor calpastatin, indicating that the influence of PKC was downstream from that of calpain. Calcium influx also resulted in μ-calpain autolysis (one index of calpain activation) and the transient appearance of PKM (i.e., free PKC catalytic subunits, generated by calpain-mediated cleavage of the regulatory and catalytic PKC domains). Inhibition of calpain within intact cells resulted in a dramatic increase in steady-state levels of total τ (migrating at 46–52 kDa) but resulted in a relatively minor increase in 68-kDa ALZ-50-immunoreactive τ isoforms. Although calcium influx into intact cells resulted in accumulation of ALZ-50 immunoreactivity, total τ levels were, by contrast, rapidly depleted. Incubation of isolated fractions with calpain in the presence of calcium indicated that ALZ-50-immunoreactive τ isoforms were more resistant to calpain-mediated proteolysis than were non-ALZ-50 reactive τ isoforms. These data therefore indicate that calpain may regulate τ levels directly via proteolysis and indirectly through PKC activation. A consequence of the latter action is altered τ phosphorylation, perhaps involving one or more kinase cascades, and the preferential accumulation of ALZ-50-immunoreactive τ isoforms due to their relative resistance to degradation. These findings provide a basis for the possibility that disregulation of calcium homeostasis may contribute to the pathological levels of conversion of τ to A68 by hyperactivation of the calpain/PKC system.
