    Notes: An interferometer previously developed for measuring instantaneous film thickness of the order of 10 μm–1 mm [T. Ohyama, K. Endoh, A. Mikami, and Y. H. Mori, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 59, 2018 (1988)] has been improved with respect to both facility of handling and accuracy of thickness determination. The improved version of the interferometer uses an expanded laser beam focused aslant on the subject film. The rays reflected from the front and rear surfaces of the film form interference fringes on a screen, which are then recorded in the form of a single snapshot interferogram or as a set of serial interferograms to be geometrically analyzed. Experiments with thin glass plates as sample films verified the expected advantages of the new version over the original one. The improved version of the interferometer was also tested on a liquid film asymptotically thinning as it drained down a vertical plate. The test indicated that the accuracy and precision of the new improved version far exceed those of other transient film-thickness measuring techniques. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We previously reported that nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) micro imaging detected the hollows in cooked rice but required a specialist to operate equipment. Convenient detection of hollows is useful in the characterization of cooked rice. X-ray imaging and light transmittance photography were studied as alternatives to NMR micro imaging. X-ray imaging detected about 50% of all hollows. Light transmittance photography detected almost all hollows in cooked rice (Oryza sativa cv. Koshihikari) effectively and rapidly, relatively quantifying hollow sizes and numbers.

    Notes: Calprotectin is a calcium binding protein produced by leukocytes, macrophages and epithelial cells, and its levels in several tissues increase during infections and in many inflamed areas, suggesting that it may be an indicator of inflammatory activity. Osteopontin is a prominent phosphorylated glycoprotein in bone matrix, having calcium binding capacity. Recently, it has been reported that calprotectin and osteopontin are present in urinary stones (pathological mineralized masses in the body), and that these proteins may be involved in their formation. Dental calculus formed by mineralization of dental plaque is an inflammatory factor which may contribute to periodontal disease. It contains many organic components involved in mineralization. We recently found osteopontin molecules in human dental calculus and suggested that the components of its matrix may be similar to those of urinary stones. In this study, we investigated the presence of calprotectin in human dental calculus by immunohistochemical and immunoblotting analyses using a specific antibody for calprotectin. After fixation and demineralization of dental calculi adhered to tooth roots, sections embedded in paraffin were immunoreacted with the antibody for calprotectin and positive immunostaining for calprotectin was observed. Dental calculus proteins were then extracted with EDTA and separated by electrophoresis on 15% polyacrylamide gels. By immunoblotting analysis, 3 or 4 bands were observed at 11, 14.5, 22–25, 28 or 36.5 kDa and these patterns corresponded to those of calprotectin subunits. When non-immune rabbit serum was used instead of calprotectin-specific antibody as a negative control, no immunoreactivity was observed. These findings indicate that calprotectin is associated not only with antibacterial action but also with calcium binding capacity during dental calculus formation.

    Notes: Nondestructive analysis of water distribution and structural changes in cooked rice grains, Oryza sativa cv Koshihikari, was performed with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Micro imaging of protons (1H). Using a specially designed holder, high quality images of cooked rice grains were obtained, even when up to 10 grains were studied simultaneously. Internal hollows were observed in all examined cooked rice grains, and we propose a mechanism to explain their formation. The origin of these hollows was hypothesized to be cracks or fissures, and hollows resulted from sealing of such lacerations by gelatinized starch in the peripheral layer in combination with expansion of the grain during cooking.

    Notes: Abstract An adult male was found dead beneath a pool of sewage in the pump room of a fish market. Autopsy revealed the cause of death to be suffocation after aspirating sewage into the respiratory tract. Since hydrogen sulfide gas was detected in the atmosphere at the scene of the accident, gas poisoning was suspected and toxicological analysis of sulfides in body tissues was performed. The concentrations of sulfides in the blood, lung and kidney were 0.95 μmol/ml, 0.22 and 0.38 μmol/g, respectively. These values were remarkably higher than those in previously reported cases involving exposure to hydrogen sulfide gas. Therefore, oral intake of sulfides was assumed and the distribution of sulfides in tissues following oral administration of sodium sulfide solution was examined by means of animal experiments using rats. The concentration of sulfides in the blood from rats following oral intake was much higher than that seen following gas exposure. Based on these results, we concluded that the victim had been exposed to hydrogen sulfide gas and had then collapse into a pool of sewage containing sulfides. The sulfides which were distributed throughout the body tissues had mainly issued from the alimentary tract prior to death by drowning.

    Notes: Abstract To elucidate adding effects of alginate (Alg) and its gelation on the reactivities of chymotrypsin (Chy), three kinds of Chy-immobilized capsules were prepared by an interfacial condensation, i.e., (a) a capsule containing only Chy in the core (Chy capsule), (b) a capsule containing Chy in NaAlg (Chy capsule(NaAlg)) and (c) a capsule containing Chy in CaAlg gel (Chy capsule(CaAlg)). The coated film was poly(ethylenediamine-terephthaloyl) (PEDT) and NaAlg in the core was gelled in the state adhered tightly to the PEDT film. These Chyimmobilizing capsules were found to be useful for determining the effects of the gelation around Chy. 4-nitrophenyl acetate was used as a substrate. From the rates of efflux of the product (p-nitrophenol), apparent maximum velocitiesv max and the apparent Michaelis constantsK′m were obtained. The values ofv′max showed the maximum at pH=7.8 for all three capsules and were found not to show any pH shift. The magnitude ofv′max was in the following order: Chy capsule (CaAlg) 〉 Chy capsule (NaAlg)-Chy capsule. The adding effects of Alg and its gelation on the reactivities of Chy are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract We have investigated the water mass distribution and circulation in Tachibana Bay, which is located in the junction area between Ari-ake Sound and Amakusa-Nada in western Kyushu, Japan. This was done to clarify the mechanism by which ghost shrimp larvae, originating from a sandflat of Amakusa-Shimoshima Island, are transported. Temperature and salinity data repeatedly obtained over the area of Tachibana Bay show that relatively low salinity water lies over northern part of the bay, while high salinity water lies over southern part of the bay. The location of the low salinity water margin tends to depend on the amount of rainfall several days before the observation. A large amount of rainfall makes a clear boundary between low and high salinity waters. Current velocity data indicate an eastward mean flow just north of Tomioka, northern tip of Amakusa-Shimoshima Island, and a clockwise mean flow approaching the Tomioka Bay sandflat, which should be suitable for the on-shore transport of the ghost shrimp postlarvae. Current measurements with shipboard ADCP just west of Hayasaki Strait, at the entrance of Ari-ake Sound, show that a westward tidal residual current tends to incline to the north, with evidence of a density current in the northern part of the western Hayasaki Strait.
