    Notes: A small scale inductive pulsed power (IPP) generator with copper wire fuses as an opening switch has been applied to an argon gas-puff z-pinch plasma which can be used as a point source for x-ray lithography. The IPP generator with fuses supplies a driving current of 60 kA in 400 ns to the z-pinch plasma. Without fuses, the generator serves as a conventional fast bank (FB) system which supplies z-pinch current of 60 kA in 4.5 μs. Characteristics of the z-pinch implosions in IPP and FB systems are investigated and compared. The result obtained shows that the intensity of soft x rays emitted from hot spots in both systems is decreased gradually with longer delay time, which is the time difference between energizing a gas-puff actuator and a primary current trigger. Dual axis pinhole imagery shows that the hot spot size is 0.8 mm in diameter in both systems. However, the average radial displacement of hot spots is 0.9 mm in the FB system and it is reduced to 0.4 mm in the IPP system. Optical framing camera images have confirmed that the radial distribution of hot spots is due to kink instability. The framing images also show that the imploding plasma in the FB system which has a pinch size of 2.2 mm in diameter can be further compressed to 1.3 mm. The IPP system can suppress the kink instability of pinch plasma and increases plasma column uniformity along the z axis. This suggests that the IPP system can improve the stability of the pinched plasma so as to minimize the end-on source size for x-ray lithography applications. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Radiation losses from the main plasma of the JAERI Tokamak-60 (JT-60) were measured by a 15-channel bolometer array and those from divertor chambers in the ion and electron drift sides were each measured by two bolometers. The bolometric detector consisting of three layers (5-μm-thick gold absorber, 7-μm-thick polyimide foil, and 0.1-μm-thick gold resistor grid) was developed for this measurement. In typical diverted discharges with NB heating, the ratios of power radiated from the main and divertor chambers to the absorbed power were approximately 10% and 20%, respectively. Intense poloidal asymmetries of radiated power localized near the X point outside the torus were observed in diverted discharges. The profiles of the radiated power were reconstructed by an Abel inversion with an asymmetric term. On the other hand, a poloidally asymmetric radiation band localized near the inner wall, "marfe,'' was observed for dense plasmas in limiter discharges with neutral beam heating.

    Notes: This paper outlines the status of a 6-GeV synchrotron radiation designed at RIKEN. This facility consists of a main storage ring, a booster synchrotron, a 1.5-GeV preinjector linac, positron injection linacs, and others. The electronan GeV. The storage ring has a circumference of 1069.2 m and 7-m-long straight sections for insertion devices. The lattice of the main ring is a Chasman–Green-type one and has 36 periodicity. The low emittance (εx=8.2 nm rad) and large dynamic aperture are expected even with field errors and misalignments of magnetic elements. Three years of a preconstruction research and development period and 5 years of construction period are scheduled.

    Notes: We examined the production of and the response to B-cell growth factor (BCGF) and B-cell differentiation factor (BCDF) in 21 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and 23 normal subjects. T cells, 2.5 × 106/ml, were cultured for 24 or 72 h with 1% phytohaemagglutinin (PHA). After absorption of PHA by chicken erythrocytes (CRBC), they were used for BCGF and BCDF. In inactive SLE, BCGF activity was significantly lower than that in normal subjects. Active SLE contained two separate groups, one showing normal BCGF activity and the other showing lower activity than normal. In contrast. BCDF activity from initial culture in active SLE was elevated. The B-cell response both to BCGF and BCDF was elevated in active SLE without Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I antigen (SAC) preactivation. However, the B-cell response to SAC was markedly disturbed. Thus SLE B cells were shifted to the mature state in vivo. We also demonstrated pivotal abnormalities of monocytes in SLE B-cell growth and differentiation. These results may contribute to the understanding of the abormalities of T-B interactions and the overproduction of antibody in SLE.

    Notes: Abnormal production of immunoglobulin in the joint space is frequently observed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We have previously demonstrated that adherent synovial Cells (ASC) from patients with RA are involved in B-cell differentiation by their spontaneous production of B-cell differentiation factor (BCDF). The regulation of the production of this factor, however, has not yet been described. We investigated the effects of recombinant interleukin 1α and β (rIL-1α and rIL-1β) on the production of BCDF in ASC Increased production of BCDF was observed with increased rIL-1 concentration. Production of BCDF was detected 3 h after exposure of ASC to rIL-1 and increased throughout a 48-h culture. This BCDF, assayed on SKW6-CL4 cells, was found to share a common active site with interleukin 6. The effect of rIL-1 was almost neutralized by anti-IL-1 antibody and the addition of polymyxin B did not diminish the effect of rIL-1, indicating that rIL-1 itself stimulates ASC in vitro. These results suggest that IL-1 may play a regulatory role in the production of BCDF in synovial tissue.

    Notes: In the present study, we tested whether the pineal organ of ayu (Plecoglossus altivelis), an osmerid teleost close relative of salmonids, harbours a circadian oscillator regulating rhythmic melatonin release using flow-through culture. The pineal organ maintained under light/dark cycles released melatonin in a rhythmic fashion with high levels during the dark phase. A circadian rhythm of melatonin release persisted in constant darkness for at least four cycles. Characteristics of the circadian rhythm (free-running period, phase and amplitude) exhibited small variations among cultures when the data was normalized, indicating that this system is sufficient for the analysis of the circadian rhythm both at qualitative and quantitative levels. Six-hour extension of the light phase from the normal onset time of the dark phase or exposure to constant light for 36 or 48 h before transfer to constant darkness significantly inhibited melatonin release. Phase shifts in the circadian rhythm of melatonin release were also observed. Thus, the ayu pineal organ contains all the three essential components of the circadian system (a circadian clock, the photoreceptor responsible for photic entrainment of the clock, and melatonin generating system as an output pathway). This system should provide a useful model for analysing the physiological and molecular basis of the vertebrate circadian system. In addition, further comparative studies using salmonids and related species including ayu will provide some insight into the evolution of the roles of the pineal organ in the vertebrate circadian system.

    Notes: Background: We have reported clinico-pathological significance of podocytes excreted in urine in previous papers. During these studies we found the presence of binucleated podocytes in urine. The aim of the present study was to look for the significance of urinary binucleated podocytes in IgA nephropathy.Patients and methods: 123 patients aged 2–25-year-old with various renal diseases were studied: UTI, five cases; nephrotic syndrome, 30 cases; MGN, three cases; MPGN, six cases; Alport syndrome, five cases; lupus nephritis, seven cases; HSPN, 12 cases; IgA GN, 50 cases. A total of 1225 urine samples from these diseases were examined. As a control, 203 urine samples from 100 normal healthy children were examined.Usual IF using monoclonal antibody to podocalyxin was used to detect urinary podocytes and binucleated podocytes.The presence of urinary binucleated podocytes were confirmed by immunoelectron microscopic examination and confocal immunofluorescent examination.Pathological changes were scored into six items: acute intracapillary, chronic intracapillary, acute extracapillary, chronic extracapillary, acute tubulo-interstitial and chronic tubulo-interstitial lesions.Results:〈list style="custom"〉1Urinary binucleated podocytes were found in various renal disases.2In IgA GN, patients with u-binucleated podocytes had significantly higher level of proteinuria.2The number of u-binucleated podocytes paralleled that of u-mononucleated podocytes.4. Patients with u-binucleated podocytes had significantly more acute lesions histologically.Conclusion: Urinary binucleated podocytes were found in IgA GN with acute glomerular lesions.
