    Notes: Abstract A total of 66 skin biopsies from persons with Alzheimer's disease (AD) or Down's syndrome (DS) and from persons without AD were used in this study. The age range was from 7 to 89 years. Positive immunoreactivity of skin biopsies to monoclonal antibody 4G8, which is reactive to amino acid residue 17 – 24 of synthetic amyloid β protein (Aβ), and 4G8-Fab (the antigen-binding fragment of 4G8 IgG, reactive only to amyloid plaque) was observed in the epidermis-dermis junction or the basement membrane of the epidermis and in some blood vessels of the biopsy skins of 13/18 (72  %) AD, 9/10 (90  %) DS, and 14/38 (37  %) non-AD control cases. The Fisher exact probability test revealed a significant difference (P=0.0415 one-tailed) in immunoreactivity between AD and age-matched controls. There was also a significant difference (P=0.0152 one-tailed; P=0.0200 two-tailed) between DS and age-matched control in the same test. Immuno-gold electron microscopy examination of these cases with positive immunoreactivity revealed that the gold particles were deposited along the basement membrane of the epidermis. Amyloid fibrils were not observed in the regions with gold particles. Results of this study suggest that Aβ is associated with the basement membrane of skin and is present in amorphous, non-fibrillar form as soluble Aβ.

    Notes: Summary A microbore high-performance liquid chromatographic method with column-switching was developed for the analysis of myristicin from rat serum without prepurification. Deproteinization, fractionation, concentration and separation of analyte were carried out by appropriate switching of columns and using solvent mixtures. The method showed excellent precision, accuracy and speed with a detection limit of 10 ng mL−1 from 25 μL of serum. The total analysis time per sample was 25 min and the coefficients of variation for intra- and inter-assay were less than 1.8%.

    Notes: A study was made of the atomizing characteristics of convergent-type pneumatic nozzles. Drop-size correlations were obtained for the following ranges: drop size, 6 to 350 μ, mass median diameter; mass flow ratio, 0.06 to 40; relative velocity, 250 ft./sec. to sonic velocity; and viscosity. 1 to 50 cp. The technique employed was to spray cool a molten wax, and melts of wax-polyethylene mixtures. The most important operating variables in pneumatic atomization are the dynamic force of the atomizing gas, and the mass flow ratio of air to liquid. The cumulative volume drop-size distribution of spray from a pneumatic nozzle was fitted by a modified logistic equation. Empirical correlations developed in the study can be used to design nozzles or to predict drop size for sprays produced by the types of nozzles studied. In particular, this study provides new experimental data on the performance of pneumatic atomizers in producing relatively large drops.

    Notes: Diffusion rates were measured at 25°C and 1 atm by a steady state method in pellets of nonporous nickel oxide particles in order to determine the effects of sintering and chemical reduction. Sintering led to a striking decrease in diffusion flux; tortuosities above 100 were found for highly sintered (porosity 0.03) pellets. Reduction caused a sharp increase in diffusion rate when the original pellet was highly sintered. For an originally unsintered pellet the diffusion rate decreased with extent of reduction.These phenomena were explained quantitatively by using: (1) the random pore model to predict tortuosity factors for an unsintered, unreduced pellet, and (2) the extent of pore interconnections and the fractional reduction to treat the effects of sintering and reduction. In this way an approximate, predictive equation was derived which contained no arbitrary parameters and which required for application only data on porosity and extent of chemical reduction.

    Notes: Summary A new high-performance liquid chromatographic method with column-switching has been developed for the simultaneous determination of parathion and its metabolites such asp-nitrophenol and paraoxon in serum. Serum samples were injected onto a precolumn packed with LiChroprep RP-8 after simple dilution with 20% phosphoric acid. Polar plasma components were washed with 0.02 M phosphate buffer (pH 3.0). After valve switching, the concentrated compounds were eluted in back-flush mode and separated on a Ultracarb ODS 30 column with a gradient of acetonitrile −0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 3.0) as mobile phase. The method showed excellent precision, accuracy and speed with detection limit of 0.1 μg mL−1. Total analysis time per sample was 〈40 min and coefficients of variation for intra-and inter-assay were 〈4.5%.
