    Notizen: We investigated the influence of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) on DNA synthesis in human fetal fibroblasts, as measured by the incorporation of [3H] thymidine and cell replication. In serum-free medium, without additional peptide growth factors, TGF-β had no action on thymidine incorporation. However, in the presence of 0.1% v/v fetal calf serum, TGF-β exhibited a bi-functional action on the cells. A dose-dependent stimulation of [3H] thymidine incorporation, and an increase in cell number, occurred with fibroblasts established from fetuses under 50 g body weight, with a maximum stimulation seen at 1.25 ng/ml. For fibroblasts from fetuses of 100 g or greater body weight, TGF-β caused a dose-related decrease in thymidine uptake with a maximal inhibition at 2.5 ng/ml, and a small decrease in cell number. When DNA synthesis was stimulated by the addition of somatomedin-C/insulin-like growth factor I, epidermal growth factor, or platelet-derived growth factor, their actions were potentiated by the presence of TGF-β on cells derived from fetuses under 50 g body weight, but inhibited on cells obtained from the larger fetuses wieghing more than 100 g. Similar results were found for changes in cell number in response to TGF-β when stimulated by SM-C/IGF I. The ability of TGF-β to modulate [3H] thymidine incorporation did not involve a change in the time required for growth-restricted cells to enter the S phase of the replication cycle. These data suggest that TGF-β may exert either a growth-promoting or growth-inhibiting action on human fetal connective tissues in the presence of other peptide growth factors, which is dependent on fetal age and development.

    Notizen: We investigated the actions of human placental lactogen (HPL) and human growth hormone (HGH) on [3H]thymidine incorporation and the release of immunoassyable somatomedin-C (SM-C) by isolated myoblasts, dermal fibroblasts, and costal cartilage explants taken from human fetuses, at 11-21 weeks of gestation. The incorporation of [3H] thymidine by myoblasts and fibroblasts was significantly increased after incubation for 20 hr or 44 hr, and cell number after incubation for 7 days, in the presence of 50-250 ng/ml HPL. Incubation with HPL did not increase [3H]thymidine incorporation into cartilage explants, whereas incubation with HGH failed to enhance the uptake of this isotope by any of the tissues. Following extraction with acid-ethanol, culture medium conditioned by exposure to myoblasts or fibroblasts for 44 hr, and to cartilage explants for 7 days, contained radioimmunoassayable SMC. Myoblast-conditioned medium contained significantly more SM-C [1,609 ± 953 mU/mg cell protein (mean ± SD) n = 10] than did that conditioned by fibroblasts (637 ± 323; n = 5; P 〈 0.02). In 1 week of culture, cartilage explants released 4.1 ± 1.1 mU/mg wet weight (n = 7). The release of immunoassayable SM-C from cultured cells was significantly increased in the presence of 250 ng/ml HPL in five of eight experiments with myoblasts and two of four experiments with fibroblasts. Neither fibroblasts or myoblasts showed increased SM-C release following exposure to HGH.The results suggest that HPL, but not HGH, is growth-promoting for some human fetal tissues in vitro and that this action is mediated, at least in part, by an increased release of somatomedins.

    Notizen: Isolated adult rat hepatocytes were used to investigate and compare the actions of glucose or amino acids and insulin, glucagon, growth hormone, and dexamethasone on the expression of insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) mRNA, or the release of IGFBP and IGF peptides in vitro. Ligand blot analysis of culture medium conditioned for 24 h by monolayers of hepatocytes in the presence of 6.5 mM glucose revealed two species of IGFBPs, and abundant form of 30-32 kDa and a minor species of 22-24 kDa. Western blotting showed that two IGFBPs of 29-30 and 32 kDa were recognized by antiserum against hIGFBP-1, whereas hepatocytes contained a 1.6 kb transcript on Northern blot with a rat IGFBP-1 cDNA. Insulin-like growth factor BP-2 mRNA was not detected in hepatocytes and IGFBP-2 immunoreactive peptide not present in conditioned medium. The release of IGFBP-1, determined by ligand blot, was independent of gucose concentration over the range of 2.7 mM-11.1 mM, but IGFBP-1 mRNA was decreased following incubation with 6.5 mM gucose compared with 2.7 mM glucose. The release of IGFBP-1 by hepatocytes was inhibited by insulin (10nM-1μM), as was mRNA abundance. However, these effects of insulin on IGFBP-1 diminished with increasing glucose concentration. Increasing concentrations of total amino acids increased IGFBP-1 release as did dexamethasone (100 pM-100nM), whereas growth hormone and gucagon were without effect. The release of IGF I was increased by insulin, growth hormone and dexamethasone but was decreased by glucagon and amino acids, whereas changes in glucose concentration had no effect. The results show that isolated adult rat hepatocytes release IGF I and IGFBP-1 under the interactive control of nutrients and hormones involved in metabolic homeostasis. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notizen: A new multiblock pressure-based finite element algorithm has been developed. This methodology implements a novel quadratic interpolation for the elemental pressure while using a bilinear interpolation for the velocity. Details of the algorithm and its multiblock foundation are provided along with a complete description of the implementation of the RNG-based k-ε model. The results presented clearly demonstrate the validity and accuracy of this new approach for complex flow problems such as diffusers. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Notizen: A new multiblock pressure-based finite element algorithm has been developed. This methodology implements quadratic interpolation for both the elemental velocity and pressure fields. A direct streamline upwinding scheme previously developedby the authors is used to model the non-linear inertia effects. Details of the algorithm and its multiblock foundation are provided along with validating test cases. The results presented clearly demonstrate the accuracy of this new approach and the differences in the pressure field for an element using quadratic versus the traditional bi linear approximation of the pressure field.

    Notizen: A direct streamline upwind method has been developed for convection-dominated flow problems utilizing quadratic elements. The approach presented retains the curve-sidedness feature offered by these elements. This facilitates the use of boundary conforming elements in domains that possess extreme curvature such as turbomachinery bladed components, for which the method is particularly suited. Three test cases are solved to evaluate the stability and diffusive characteristics of the numerical solution. The results presented clearly demonstrate that the proposed method does not exhibit any non-physical spatial oscillations, nor does it suffer from the traditional problem of excessive numerical diffusion.
