Diffusion-controlled growth of particles, dendrites, and plates in infinite media is examined for ternary systems. The growth
kinetics associated with planar, cylindrical, and spherical particles are shown to be limiting cases of a more complete analysis
(also presented) for shape-preserving growth. The theory is applied to the growth of allotriomorphic ferrite from austenite
in ternary Fe-C-X steels, where X represents a substitutional alloying element. Numerical results are given, the analysis
relying on the ability to predict multicomponent phase equilibria. The work represents an attempt at coupling together thermodynamic
and kinetic models for the diffusion-controlled3 phase transformations that occur in steels. 相似文献

Diffusion-controlled precipitation in isothermal ternary systems of arbitrary constitution is analyzed theoretically. The
treatment is applicable to isolated precipitates whose morphology is preserved during growth;i.e., planar surfaces, cylinders, spheres, spheroids, and ellipsoids. The analysis does not account for ternary diffusional interaction.
For a particular bulk alloy composition, the problem is essentially to determine the precipitatematrix interface velocity
and the phase diagram tie-line which defines the equilibrium concentrations at this interface. The concepts of interface composition
and interface velocity contours on the ternary phase diagram are introduced as instruments for solution of this problem. The
influence on these contours of various diffusivity ratios for the independent components and of precipitate morphology is
investigated. The assumption that local equilibrium maintains at the precipitate-matrix interface is critically examined and
it is suggested that there are many instances in which the assumption is invalid. Therefore, Hultgren’s concept of paraequilibrium
is discussed and is incorporated into the present theoretical framework. The techniques developed in the analysis are applied
to ferrite growth in the Fe-C-Mn system. 相似文献

A simple model for the growth of kinks by volume diffusion is discussed, and singular perturbation methods, valid for supersaturations
much less than one, are used to derive coupled integral equations for the motion of trains of (well-spaced) kinks. Numerical
results are presented for the motion of two-and three-kink trains.

We have compared the kidneys of two inbred strains of rats (Lewis and Lewis-Dwarf) 7 days after the induction of diabetes mellitus with streptozotocin, in order to examine the influence of a selective growth hormone (GH) deficiency on diabetic renal growth and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) content of the kidneys. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) content of the kidneys. Insulin-like growth factor-I was measured by radioimmunoassay and its distribution within the kidney by immunohistochemical staining. We detected a significant increase in both the wet weight (32.9 +/- 5.3%, P = 0.0085) and dry weight (16.3 +/- 6.3%, P = 0.046) of the kidneys of diabetic Lewis rats but dwarf rats, selectively deficient in GH, did not show a significant increase in either parameter. Extractable IGF-I increased within the kidneys of diabetic rats of both strains but to a lesser extent in the dwarf rats (+105 +/- 28% and +65 +/- 21% respectively, P < 0.01). In diabetic Lewis rats a positive correlation was noted between the severity of glycaemia and kidney IGF-I content (r = 0.604, P < 0.05) but no such correlation was noted in dwarf rats. Inulin-like growth factor-I immunostaining increased in diabetic rats of both strains, mainly within cells of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle including damaged and vacuolated cells. However, morphometric analysis of the staining showed that it was significantly less widespread in the diabetic dwarf rats (P = 0.026).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

In the present study, we used the fetal organ culture (FTOC) technique in order to study a putative effect of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the thymus ontogeny. Functional EGF receptors and more recently the EGF molecule itself, respectively, on the membrane of epithelial components of thymic stroma and on a few thymocytes in adult thymus, had been reported in the literature. We could observe a dose-dependent decrease in cellularity and a progressive retention of thymocytes in the double-negative (CD4-/CD8-) stage of differentiation when exogenous EGF was added. Epidermal growth factor interfered with both fetal stroma growth and thymocyte development at a precise moment, that is, in the passage from double-negative to the double-positive (CD4+/CD8+) stage. After a 7-day FTOC in the presence of EGF, most cells recovered were Thy-1.2+, c-kit+, TSA1-/int, CD3-, and one of CD44high/CD25int, CD44-/CD25int, or CD44/CD25-. Some developed into gammadeltaTCR+ cells with a mature (CD3+) phenotype, but not into alphabetaTCR+ thymocytes. It seems that EGF addition makes the cultures "nonpermissible" for alphabetaTCR+ thymocyte generation. We report here the presence of a high Mr "EGF-like" molecule on the membrane of fetal thymocytes, which role in the observed effects is under investigation. Further biochemical characterization of this molecule is still required, because its presence was only evidenced on the basis of its antigenicity. 相似文献

Reviews the book, Textbook of pain by Patrick D. Wall and Ronald Melzack (1984). A clinical specialty has come of age when it is represented by a textbook of this stature. Wall and Melzack's 79-chapter Textbook of Pain attempts, as Noordenbos describes in his prologue, to represent the state of the art today, to be a guideline on how to tackle the subject, and finally, to prescribe how to act in a given situation. As a textbook, it also must accomplish these goals through chapters that are accessible to readers at less advanced levels or working in different disciplines. In this instance, the difficulty of the textbook creators' task is compounded by the nature of the specialty of studying and treating pain.

Chaotic states of mind are often encountered by clients at critical points in psychotherapy when growth is initiated, and this form of client chaos differs from the chaos that arises as a result of regression or in the service of resistance. During these chaotic "gestation" periods clients are preconsciously organizing new adaptive and representational patterns, and from this activity emerge new syntheses and directions for living. Psychotherapists can be helpful by recognizing these gestation states and responding in ways that facilitate this reorganizing activity.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between longitudinal bone growth and concentrations of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in serum from prepubertal dogs. Animals-6 male 14-week-old German Shepherd Dogs. PROCEDURE: Blood was obtained every 30 minutes for 14 consecutive days. Concentrations of GH and IGF-I in serum were determined, using a canine-specific radioimmunoassay and conventional radioimmunoassay after acid-ethanol extraction, respectively. Simultaneous biplanar radiography was performed daily to measure bone growth. Spectral analysis was used to estimate specific features of GH secretion during an extended period. Multiple linear regression with different lag times between independent and dependent variables was used to determine the strongest predictors of bone growth. RESULTS: The power spectra of GH concentrations in serum had a primary peak at a frequency of 0.02 cycles/h or a periodicity of 50 h/cycle. A significant determinant of longitudinal bone growth was a lag time of 1 day in concentration of GH in serum. The relationship between IGF-I concentration in serum and bone growth was not significant. CONCLUSIONS: The primary frequency of GH secretion is outside the time frame of a single day and the concentration of GH in serum is a primary determinant of bone growth. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A better understanding of the components of bone growth provide discernment to improved diagnosis and treatment of abnormal bone growth. 相似文献

In an earlier study, we found that yellow-rumped warblers had in vitro active uptake rates of D-glucose that were only a few percent of the glucose absorption rate achieved at the whole-animal level. Here we used a pharmacokinetic technique to test whether a substantial amount of sugar can be absorbed passively. We used yellow-rumped warblers (Dendroica coronata), known for their seasonal frugivory, freely feeding on a synthetic mash formulated with naturally occurring concentrations of D-glucose. Birds absorbed 89.8% +/- 1.0% (SE) of the D-glucose in the mash. When fed the same mash with trace-labeled 3H L-glucose, the stereoisomer that does not interact with the intestinal Na(+)-glucose cotransporter, 3H appeared in plasma, an indication that this stereoisomer of glucose was absorbed. We used 3H levels in plasma and excreta in a pharmacokinetic model to calculate L-glucose extraction efficiency (i.e., the percent absorbed). Calculated mean extraction efficiency for the passively absorbed L-glucose averaged 91% +/- 23%. Our finding of considerable passive absorption reconciles the in vitro and in vivo results for D-glucose absorption and is in concert with results from five other avian species. The passive pathway appears to provide birds with an absorptive process that can respond quickly to changing luminal concentration and that is energetically inexpensive to maintain and modulate in real time but that may bear a cost. Less discriminate passive absorption might increase vulnerability to toxins and thus constrain foraging behavior and limit the breadth of the dietary niche. 相似文献

Mammary glands from 3- to 4-week-old mice were incubated in whole organ culture to determine the effects of GH, PRL, and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on lobulo-alveolar development and milk protein expression. Virgin mice were implanted with pellets of estrogen and progesterone (1:1000). After 9 days, abdominal no. 4 glands were removed and place on siliconized lens paper in Waymouths' medium supplemented with insulin (Ins), aldosterone, hydrocortisone, and epidermal growth factor. Concentrations of bovine GH, ovine GH, rat GH, or ovine PRL added to the medium varied from 0-1 micrograms/ml. IGF-I was added to replace either Ins or PRL up to 1 microgram/ml. When glands were incubated with Ins, aldosterone, hydrocortisone, and 250 ng/ml PRL, they exhibited lobulo-alveolar development and expressed the milk protein beta-casein. When GH was substituted for PRL, little lobulo-alveolar development occurred, although beta-casein mRNA was expressed at low levels. Either PRL or GH at 1 microgram/ml induced lobulo-alveolar development and beta-casein mRNA. Addition of epidermal growth factor to whole organ culture with GH or PRL (1 microgram/ml) was equally effective in stimulating lobulo-alveolar development. IGF-I did not substitute for PRL, GH, or insulin in tissue maintenance. It is clear that GH at high concentrations can act directly on mouse mammary tissue to induce both lobulo-alveolar development and casein expression. 相似文献

AIMS: To evaluate the developmental pattern of fetal growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), GH binding protein (GHBP) and IGF binding protein-3 (IGF-3); to determine the implications for fetal growth. METHODS: Serum GH, IGF-I, GHBP and IGFBP-3 were measured in 53 fetuses, 41 aged 20-26 weeks (group A) and 12 aged 31-38 weeks (group B). Fetal blood samples were obtained by direct puncture of the umbilical vein in utero. Fetal blood samples were taken to rule out beta thalassaemia, chromosome alterations, mother to fetus transmissible infections, and for maternal rhesus factor. GHBP was determined by gel filtration chromatography of serum incubated overnight with 125I-GH. GH, IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were determined by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS: Fetal serum GH concentrations in group A (median 29 micrograms/l, range 11-92) were significantly higher (P < 0.01) than those of group B (median 16.7 micrograms/l, range 4.5-29). IGF-I in group A (median 20 micrograms/l, range 4.1-53.3) was significantly lower (P < 0.01) than in group B (median 75.2 micrograms/l, range 27.8-122.3). Similarly, IGFBP-3 concentrations in group A (median 950 micrograms/l, range 580-1260) were significantly lower than those of group B (median 1920 micrograms/l, range 1070-1770). There was no significant difference between GHBP values in group A (median 8.6%, range 6.6-12.6) and group B (median 8.3%, range 6-14.3). Gestational age correlated positively with IGF-I concentrations (P < 0.0001) and IGFBP-3 (P < 0.0001) and negatively with GH (P < 0.0001). GHBP values did not correlate with gestational age. Multiple regression analysis showed a negative correlation between GH:IGF-I ratio and fetal growth indices CONCLUSIONS: The simultaneous evaluation of fetal GH, IGF-I, IGFBP-3 and GHBP suggests that the GH-IGF-I axis might already be functional in utero. The progressive improvement in the efficiency of this axis in the last part of gestation does not seem to be due to an increase in GH receptors. 相似文献
