    Notes: Abstract Deposition of polymer latices on a grafted Nylon 6 fiber was studied as a function of pH and the degree of grafting. The latices were polystyrene (PS), styrene/acrylamide copolymer (P(St/AAm)) and styrene/acrylic acid copolymer (P(St/AA)). The deposition of the latices on the grafted fiber decreased in every case with increasing pH and no deposition was observed at alkaline pH. The grafting of fiber with acrylic and methacrylic acid reduced the deposition of P(St/AAm) and P(St/AA) latices but had no influence on the deposition of PS latex. The relation between the deposition rates and the interaction energy at acidic pH indicates that the deposition of PS latex on the grafted fiber mainly depends on the electrostatic interaction. These results suggest that the expansion of water-soluble polyelectrolyte layer on the surface of grafted fiber plays an important role on the deposition.

    Notes: Abstract Retinal potentials were recorded from the eyes of anesthetized and immobilized chicks by a standard direct current method. The amplitude of the electroretinogram (ERG) c-wave was measured 2 and 5 sec after the onset of the light stimulus, as indexes of the fast-rise c-wave (cF-wave) and the slow-rise c-wave (cs-wave), respectively. An intravitreal injection of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at an estimated intravitreal concentration of 10−9-10−7M resulted in an increase of the amplitude of the cs-wave, a less remarkable change in the a- and cF-waves, and a slight decrease in the b-wave. The light peak of the retinal standing potential increased in amplitude following GABA administration (10−7-10−4M). Following an intravitreal injection of picrotoxin (10−5-10−3M), the polarity of the cs-wave changed from positive to negative and a significant decrease and deformation in the light peak was observed. The amplitude of the a-wave, however, increased in the range of the higher dose, while that of the b- and cf-waves decreased markedly but no polarity reversal of the cF-wave was found. The results may suggest that the GABA-ergic synapse plays a significant role in production of the cs-wave and the light peak, along with that of the pigment epithelium.

    Notes: Abstract In experiments by Yoneyama et al. (1985) a hypertonic perfusing solution was used to record the c-wave from the isolated chick retina. We investigated whether the chick retina was surrounded by such hypertonic liquids. The following results were found: (1) the osmolarity of the subchoroidal humor was markedly higher than that of fluids from other areas of the eye; (2) the relative difference in osmolarity between both sides of the retina was 110–170 mOsmol in the light-adapted condition, whereas it was about 270 mOsmol in the dark-adapted condition; and (3) in the dark-adapted state the volume of the subchoroidal humor decreased about 40% but increased in osmolarity about 30–40%, whereas osmolarity of the subviteous humor decreased about 15–20 mOsmol. Results suggest the presence of an inward-directed pump mechanism for watersoluble components in the retina in addition to the proposed outward-directed pump mechanism of the pigment epithelium. The inward-directed pump may be more active in the dark-adapted state.
