    Notes: Transmission electron microscopy was used to study the interfacial reactions and crystallographic structure in high-temperature sputtered Al alloy/TiN system. An intermediate layer and semispherical precipitates were observed as the reaction products during high-temperature sputtering at 500 °C. Electron diffraction analysis indicated that the intermediate layer consisted of hexagonal AlN and cubic TiN. Semispherical precipitates were also found to consist of tetragonal Al3Ti. Additional energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer analysis suggested that the intermediate layer was formed by the diffusion of Al atoms into the TiN film. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The follicular proximal ends of arrector pili muscles anchor the bulge areas of human hair follicles. However, the location of the ends of these muscles towards the epidermis, especially the fine points of attachment, is not fully understood. Conventional serial sections of the scalp skin of a 12-month-old infant were examined. Most of the distal ends were situated in the upper dermis. while some seemed to be in close contact with the epidermal basal layers. In vertical sections of the scalp skin of 16-week-old fetus, double immunoenzyme staining showed a close topographic correlation between the epidermal ends of the arrector pili muscles and the epidermal and dermal Merkel cells. These findings allow speculation that fetal Merkel cells participate in the induction and alignment of arrector pili muscles.

    Notes: Summary Multiple facial angiofibroma are thought to be a pathognomonic and common, feature of tuberous sclerosis. In contrast, it is rare to see multiple angiofibroma limited to one side of the face. We have studied a patient with multiple angiofibroma of one cheek, in order to search for other manifestations of tuberous sclerosis and to determine the histochemical identity of the angiofibroma. No evidence of other pathology known to be associated with the tuberous sclerosis complex was uncovered. Histopathology of the unilateral lesions revealed focal fibroplasias and positive cellular staining for factor XIIIa and vimentin similar to that described for bilateral angiofibroma. We suggested that the segmental expression of tuberous sclerosis, in the form of unilateral facial angiofibroma may result from a postzygotic mutation.

    Notes: Abstract We examined 42 herpes gestationis sera with immunofluorescence of normal human skin sections, and found that anti-keratinocyte cell surface antibodies were detected specifically in 10 herpes gestationis sera. The diagnosis of these herpes gestationis cases was confirmed by detecting antibodies against the 180 kD bullous pemphigoid antigen with immunoblotting of its fusion protein. The results of immunoadsorption assay using baculoproteins of both pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus antigens indicated that the herpes gestalionis sera did not recognize common pemphigus antigens. Immunoblotting of human epidermal extracts and immunofluorescence of various tissues also suggested that the sera did not recognize any other desmosomal components or paraneoplastic pemphigus antigens. The significance of this reactivity is unclear. However, because no control bullous pemphigoid sera showed this reactivity, it may suggest a different pathophysiology between herpes gestationis and bullous pemphigoid.

    Notes: Abstract The plasma concentrations of fructose, glucose, free fatty acids (FFA) and triglycerides (TG) were measured in dogs and cats. Changes in these concentrations were investigated in dogs by an intravenous fructose tolerance test (IVFTT) at a dose of 0.1 g/kg body weight. Fructose concentrations in the plasma of dogs were significantly higher than those of cats. There was no significant difference in plasma glucose concentrations between dogs and cats. Plasma FFA concentrations decreased and TG concentrations increased after feeding in both dogs and cats. During the IVFTT, the plasma fructose concentrations in the dogs increased rapidly to a peak by 2 min and then decreased to half of the peak by 5 min after the administration of fructose. Administration of fructose resulted in an increase in the plasma TG concentrations and reduced plasma FFA concentrations in the dogs. Only 4% of the administered fructose was detected in the urine of dogs following IVFTT. Plasma fructose was considered to be rapidly absorbed and metabolized in both dogs and cats. However, as with glucose metabolism, there appear to be some differences in fructose metabolism between dogs and cats.

    Notes: Abstract Bone-resorbing activities of 24-epi-1α-hydroxyvitamin D2 [24-epi-1α(OH)D2], 24-epi-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D2 [24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2], and 1α,24S,25-trihydroxyvitamin D2 [1,24S,25(OH)3D2], which might be a metabolite of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2, were investigated. In an in vitro bone resorption test, the activity of 24-epi-1α(OH)D2 was similar to that of 1α-hydroxyvitamin D3 [1α(OH)D3] at 10-9 M-10-6 M. The activity of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 was weaker than that of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] at 10-11 M-10-8 M. On the other hand, the activity of 1,24S,25(OH)3D2 was similar to that of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 at 10-11 M-10-9 M. In the formation assay of osteoclast-like cells, the activity of 24-epi-1α(OH)D2 was weaker than that of 1α(OH)D3 at 10-7 M. The activity of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 was almost similar to that of 1,25(OH)2D3 at 10-11 M-10-7 M. The activity of 1,24S,25(OH)3D2 was significantly weaker than that of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 at 10-11 M-10-9 M. In the two experiments, the potencies of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 were about 100 times higher than those of 24-epi-1α(OH)D2. In an in vivo/in vitro bone resorption test, the activity of 24-epi-1α(OH)D2 was almost similar to those of 1α(OH)D3 and 1,25(OH)2D3 and higher than those of 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 and 1,24S,25(OH)3D2. 24-epi-1α-(OH)D2 and 1α(OH)D3 were longer lasting than 24-epi-1,25(OH)2D2 and 1,25(OH)2D3 in this experiment. These results suggested that 24-epi-1α(OH)D2 as well as 1α(OH)D3 was converted into dihydroxy form in vivo.

    Notes: Summary Cytomegalvirus (CMV) establishes a latent infection in its host; however, the organ sites of viral latency and its mechanism still remain to be fully clarified. To elucidate this issue, a latent infection with murine (M) CMV was attempted to induce in mice and the organ sites of the latent viral genome were examined for more than one year by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). As a result, latent MCMV DNA was detectable in both the lung and the spleen as late as 59 weeks after infection. The heart was also observed to be a target organ of latent MCMV DNA, though the amount of viral DNA was much less than that seen in the lung and spleen. In germfree (GF) mice, on the other hand, no such latent viral DNA was observed in the spleens, while it was seen, but to a significantly smaller degree, in the lungs and the hearts than in the same organs of specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice. The amount of infectious virions generated in the host appeared to be almost equal between the GF and SPF mice. The above findings therefore suggest that the spleen, lung and heart are target organs for MCMV latency and the indigenous bacterial flora, which are not colonizing in GF mice, play an important role in the establishment of such viral latency in SPF mice.

    Notes: Abstract. We evaluated the apoptosis of neutrophils during the resolution of acute pulmonary inflammation induced by exposure to ozone. The inflammatory response was assessed in rat lungs 0, 1, 3, and 7 days after 4-h exposure to air or 2 ppm ozone. Analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid demonstrated significant increases in albumin concentrations on days 0 and 1 and in the number of lavageable neutrophils on days 0, 1, and 3, indicating the presence of acute pulmonary inflammation. These parameters returned to control values on day 7, which suggests that the acute pulmonary inflammation induced by ozone was reversible. On days 1 and 3, but not on day 0, the neutrophils showed morphologic evidence of apoptosis. Based on morphologic analysis, the proportion of apoptotic neutrophils was 23.3 ± 2.2% on day 1 and 55.7 ± 3.2% on day 3. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP end labeling (TUNEL), in contrast, revealed that the proportion of apoptotic cells was 59.7 ± 9.1% on day 1 and 68.0 ± 4.3% on day 3. On day 3, light microscopy and electron microscopy demonstrated engulfment of the neutrophils by macrophages. These findings indicate that the apoptosis of neutrophils followed by their engulfment by macrophages contributes to the clearance of neutrophils from the sites of inflammation. Moreover, TUNEL detected apoptotic neutrophils with greater sensitivity compared with morphologic assessment.
