    Abstract: ABSTRACT: Transducers that enable the direct utilization of energy derived from sunlight have long been sought after. Such systems could be used as actuators, artificial muscles, separators, switches, sensors, memories, etc. In this paper, some properties of visible light-induced phase transitions of poly(N isopropylacrylamide-co-chlorophyllin) gels are presented, which include the dependence of diameter on the light intensity, the transmittance of light, and the swelling and shrinking kinetics. The phase transitions of these gels can be understood in terms of the increased temperature in the immediate vicinity of polymer chains subjected to local heating due to the absorption and sub- sequent thermal dissipation of light energy. The results are described semi-qualitatively by making use of a simple phenomenological model. A set of the phenomena presented here is one of the ex- amples of how to add intelligence to functional polymer gels using volume phase transition and its related phenomena.

    Abstract: This paper reported both ultrastructural and biochemical studies of nasal polyps from 32 patients: 5 with an aspirin-induced asthma; 14 allergic patients with rhinitis; and 13 nonallergic patients with negative skin tests against the major inhalant allergens. The results of the studies have clearly shown that there are two different types of nasal polyps, neutrophil-dominant polyps and eosinophil-dominant polyps, and both leukocytes play a major role as important effector cells in the formation of nasal polyps. Cytotoxic effector molecules from both leukocytes initiate the connective tissue damage of the capillary basement membrane, bringing about enormous tissue edema, with broad disruptions of the epithelial lamina, causing polyp formation.
