P偏振光双表面反射比的角谱及其应用

p-偏振光在镀膜平板基片两面的反射光强度比值的角谱是膜层参数(折射率、消光系数和厚度)的函数.实验表明通过角谱的测量和数值模拟是精确测量薄膜参数的新途径.基于此原理,还试制出掺Sb的SnO2溶胶凝胶薄膜的光化学气敏传感器.     

Dislocation configurations in highT c oxide BiSrCaCuO

A study of dislocation configurations in superconducting oxide BiSrCaCuO has been made by transmission electron microscopy. Evidence was found for the presence of dislocation pairs composed of two parallel single dislocations holding together with the same Burgers vectors. The pair can further dissociate into partials, giving rise to a four-fold ribbon. Networks consisting of dislocation pairs were also observed. These phenomena are attributed to the possible ordering of strontium and calcium ions and the existence of some oxygen sheet of the Aurivillius type in the oxide crystal. Schemes to illustrate the configurations are suggested and discussed.

Ubiquitin and apoptosis in the corpus luteum of the marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus)

The thiazolidinedione analogue troglitazone is an antidiabetic agent that improves insulin resistance in rodents and humans. Although coronary artery disease is common in patients with the insulin resistance syndrome, the effects of troglitazone on smooth muscle cells (SMC) have not been fully elucidated. We therefore examined the effects of troglitazone on cell growth and glucose uptake in human aortic SMC. Mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activity and glucose transporter (Glut) 1 mRNA levels were also studied. In the absence of troglitazone, insulin (10(-7) M) caused a 2-fold increase of DNA synthesis in SMC and troglitazone suppressed the increase of DNA synthesis in a dose-dependent manner. This growth suppression was accompanied by inhibition of MAP kinase activity. On the other hand, troglitazone significantly increased Glut 1 mRNA and enhanced glucose uptake in SMC. These results suggest that troglitazone affects the insulin signaling pathways in SMC and suppresses growth while promoting glucose uptake. Our findings support the application of troglitazone as an inhibitor of SMC proliferation in patients with insulin resistance.     

Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine in children with chronic renal disease: a prospective study of antibody response and duration

We studied the antibody response to pneumococcal serotypes 3 and 14 after pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine was administered to 41 children with renal disease. One month after vaccination, 76% and 61% of patients achieved at least a twofold titer rise to serotypes 3 and 14, respectively; this finding was comparable to historic control values. One year after vaccination, the majority of patients retained protective antibody levels. Achieving a titer > or = 1.0 microgram/ml IgG at 1 month was highly predictive of retaining a protective antibody level > or = 0.15 microgram/ml at 1 year.     

Placing a bone graft more posteriorly may reduce the risk of pedicle screw breakage: analysis of an unexpected case of pedicle screw breakage

Studies on collagen in heart are important to understand the pathogenesis of myocardial necrosis and to evaluate cardiac function in infarcted heart. The present study has been undertaken to find out the alterations in collagen types in heart as well as serum proteins during myocardial injury in rats. A decreased collagen content was observed on day one which may be due to increased secretion of collagenase and proteases from inflammatory cells or from the myocardium. The changes noticed in the collagen types (I, III and V) indicated the altered elasticity of the heart. Histological studies were observed to correlate well with the biochemical changes in collagen. Evaluation of myocardial collagen could provide new approaches to the treatment of infarct size reduction.     

Role of Epstein-Barr virus in fine-needle aspirates of metastatic neck nodes in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

The crystal structure of the peptide Boc-Phe-Val-OMe determined by X-ray diffraction methods is reported in this paper. The crystals grown from aqueous methanol are orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1),a = 11.843(2), b = 21.493(4), c = 26.676(4) A3 and V = 6790 A3. Data were collected on a CAD4 diffractometer using MoK alpha radiation (lambda = 0.7107 A) up to Bragg angle theta = 26 degrees. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by a least-squares procedure to an R value of 6.8% for 3288 observed reflections. There are three crystal-lographically independent peptide molecules in the asymmetric unit. All the three molecules exhibit extended conformation. The sidechain of the Val2 residue shows two different conformations. The conformation of the peptide Boc-Phe-Val-OMe is compared with the conformation of Ac-delta Phe-Val-OH. It is observed that while Boc-Phe-Val-OMe exhibits an extended conformation, Ac-delta Phe-Val-OH shows a folded conformation. The results of this comparison highlight the conformation constraining property of the delta Phe residue. Interestingly, even though Boc-Phe-Val-OMe and Ac-delta Phe-Val-OH are conformationally different, they exhibit similar packing patterns in the solid state.
