    Notes: Picosecond reflection high-energy electron diffraction is used as a time-resolved surface-lattice temperature probe. A picosecond laser pulse is split into two beams. The first interacts with the sample. The second activates the cathode of an electron gun creating a collimated and focused electron pulse that is well synchronized with the heating laser pulse. The electron pulse is used to generate a reflection high-energy electron diffraction pattern of the sample. Since heating results in an intensity reduction of the elastically scattered electrons (Debye–Waller effect), the diffraction pattern provides information on the surface temperature as well as structure. Time-resolved measurements of the picosecond laser-heated surface show general agreement with a heat diffusion model.

    Notes: A laser-driven picosecond time-resolved electron diffraction system operating in ultrahigh vacuum is described. A picosecond laser pulse is split into two beams. The first interacts with the sample under study. The second activates the cathode of an electron gun creating a collimated and focused electron pulse that is well synchronized with the heating laser pulse. By spatially delaying the part of the laser pulse that photoactivates the cathode from that which irradiates the sample, the electron pulse can be set to arrive at the sample at a specific time after sample irradiation. When a flat smooth sample is aligned such that the electrons are in grazing incidence on its surface, a reflection high-energy electron diffraction pattern of its first few atomic layers is generated. Analysis of the diffraction pattern provides information on the surface structure and temperature at a set time lapse between the arrival of the laser and the electron pulse to the sample. Design, characterization, and operation of this system along with an example of its application to monitor the transient surface temperature using the surface Debye–Waller effect are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Cell suspension cultures, derived from roots of Podophyllum hexandrum Royle (Berberidaceae), accumulate podophyllotoxin. In this study the use of β-cyclodextrin in feeding the poorly water-soluble precursor coniferyl alcohol to these cultures is described. By complexation with β-cyclodextrin, a solution of 3 mM coniferyl alcohol could be fed, resulting in enhanced podophyllotoxin accumulation. The same concentration of non-complexed suspended coniferyl alcohol had only little effect on the podophyllotoxin accumulation. β-Cyclodextrin itself was proven to be non-toxic for the cells. It did not influence the podophyllotoxin content and it was not metabolized or used as a carbon source by the cells. For comparison, coniferin, the water-soluble β-D-glucoside of coniferyl alcohol, was also fed in the same concentration. The effect of coniferin on the podophyllotoxin accumulation was stronger than that of coniferyl alcohol complexed with β-cyclodextrin, but coniferin is not commercially available.

    Notes: Abstract Alterations in smooth muscle responsiveness and neural pathways in adjacent tissue may occur after local myenteric denervation. The in vitro contractile responses of both longitudinal and circular muscle to the mixed muscarinic and nicotinic cholinergic agonist carbachol were determined 15, 30, and 45 days after localized myenteric plexus ablation. Denervated longitudinal muscle exhibited decreased responsiveness to carbachol at all times examined. Denervated circulated muscle was initially supersensitive, but with time became subsensitive. These changes probably reflect the loss of the nicotinic (neuronal) component of the action of carbachol. Muscle orad to the site of denervation appeared subsensitive, while muscle caudad to the lesion was supersensitive (circular) or unaffected (longitudinal). These results suggest that there are changes in ascending and descending neural pathways. Alterations in the cholinergic responsiveness of intestinal smooth muscle, both at and beyond the site of myenteric plexus ablation, may result in altered intestinal motility that could lead to functional obstruction.

    Notes: Abstract Artemisia annua L. contains artemisinin, an endoperoxide sesquiterpene lactone, mainly in its leaves and inflorescences. This compound and a series of derivatives have attracted attention because of their potential value as antimalarial drugs. In this review a survey of the currently available literature data is given. It includes phytochemical aspects, such as constituents ofA. annua, the artemisinin content during the development of the plant and its biosynthesis, isolation, analysis and stability. Total chemical synthesis of artemisinin is referred to, as well as structure—activity relationships of derivatives and simplified analogues. Pharmacological studies are summarized, including the mechanism of action, interaction of the antimalarial activity with other drugs, possible occurrence of resistance to artemisinin, clinical results, toxicological aspects, metabolism and pharmacokinetics. Finally, plant cell biotechnologyy is mentioned as a possible means to obtain plants and cell cultures with higher artemisinin contents, allowing an industrial production of pharmaceuticals containing this novel drug.

    Notes: Abstract Phytoplankton growth in the shallow, turbid Lake Loosdrecht (The Netherlands) is importantly influenced by light availability, and thus the concentrations of the various light-attenuating materials. The system is highly eutrophic and supports an algal biomass of ca. 160 mg Chl m−3. A model is proposed here which predicts algal growth in the lake as a function of the light received and subsequent attenuation in the water column by phytoplankton, tripton and background colour. The model is based on an energy balance which relates growth rate to the ‘true’ growth yield on light energy and the energy demand for cell maintenance. The coefficients for energy conversion (Y = 0.002 gDW kJ−1) and cell maintenance (µe = 0.031 day−1) were determined from steady state growth kinetics of Prochlorothrix hollandica in light-limited laboratory flow systems with the same depth as the lake and receiving summer average conditions of irradiance. Light attenuation by phytoplankton and tripton were quantified using specific attenuation coefficients: 0.011 m2 mg−1 Chl for the phytoplankton and 0.23 m2 g−1 DW for tripton. The growth studies demonstrated that Lake Loosdrecht can support a much higher algal biomass in the absence of non-algal particulate matter. The proposed model is used to predict chlorophyll a concentrations in dependence on growth rate and levels of tripton. Since approximately 75% of the sestonic dry weight in Lake Loosdrecht may be attributed to tripton, it is concluded that the algal biomass is markedly lowered by the abundance of tripton in the water column. A knowledge of the sources and fate of tripton in the lake is thus of fundamental importance in modelling phytoplankton dynamics.

    Notes: Abstract Lake Loosdrecht (The Netherlands) is shallow, highly eutrophic and subject to frequent wind-induced resuspension of settled algae and detritus. The summer phytoplankton consists of filamentous prokaryotic species. Chlorophyll a levels are rather stable over the summer at a concentration of ca. 160 mg m−3; losses due to grazing and sinking are small. Epipelic chlorophyll a concentrations range from 0 to 250, but ca. 50 mg m−2 is typical. In situ rates of change of chlorophyll a in the water column were related to specific growth rates predicted by a model for light-limited growth. In the model, incident light is partitioned among algae, tripton and background colour, to determine the light available for algal growth and cell maintenance. Model coefficients were derived primarily from laboratory studies of the growth of Prochlorothrix hollandica, an abundant species in the lake in summer. Presuming constant rates of loss due to grazing and sinking, for summers 1985 and 1986 some 56% of the variation in the chlorophyll a in the lake water was explained by change in light conditions alone and 77% by light and wind-driven resuspension of epipelic chlorophyll a together. These factors had little influence on the phytoplankton biomass in 1983 and 1984; other environmental conditions, e.g. phosphorus availability, may have been important. Also, the laboratory-derived growth kinetics of P. hollandica may not have been equally suitable for modelling in the four summers.

    Notes: Wegen der besonderen Art ihrer Entwicklung und ihres Wachstums lassen sich an der Augenlinse viele Altersveränderungen auf zellulärer und molekularer Ebene verfolgen. Ausgeprägte postsynthetische Veränderungen wie Aggregation, Phosphorylierung, Desamidierung, Bildung kovalenter Vernetzungen und Racemisierung wurden vor allem an den Strukturproteinen der Linse, den Kristallinen, eingehend untersucht. Die zukünftige Forschung wird zeigen müssen, inwiefern die bisherigen Erkenntnisse allgemeine Bedeutung für die Prozesse der biologischen Alterung haben.
