    Description: The Kuroshio Current (KC) is the northward branch of the North Pacific subtropical gyre (NPG) and exerts influence on the exchange of physical, chemical, and biological properties of downstream regions in the Pacific Ocean. Resolving long-term changes in the flow of the KC water masses is, therefore, crucial for advancing our understanding of the Pacific's role in global ocean and climate variability. Here, we reconstruct changes in KC dynamics over the past 20 ka based on grain-size spectra, clay mineral, and Sr–Nd isotope constraints of sediments from the northern Okinawa Trough. Combined with published sediment records surrounding the NPG, we suggest that the KC remained in the Okinawa Trough throughout the Last Glacial Maximum. Together with Earth-System-Model simulations, our results additionally indicate that KC intensified considerably during the early Holocene (EH). The synchronous establishment of the KC “water barrier” and the modern circulation pattern during the EH highstand shaped the sediment transport patterns. This is ascribed to the precession-induced increase in the occurrence of La Niña-like state and the strength of the East Asian summer monsoon. The synchronicity of the shifts in the intensity of the KC, Kuroshio extension, and El Niño/La Niña-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability may further indicate that the western branch of the NPG has been subject to basin-scale changes in wind stress curl over the North Pacific in response to low-latitude insolation. Superimposed on this long-term trend are high-amplitude, large century, and millennial-scale variations during last 5 ka, which are ascribed to the advent of modern ENSO when the equatorial oceans experienced stronger insolation during the boreal winter.

    Notes: Abstract Mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-nuclear cobalt (iron) complexes containing co-ligands phosphine and thiolate are presented according to the classification by combination of different dentates of the two ligands. Emphasis is being put on the triand tetranuclear cluster complexes of monodentate phosphines and 1,2-bidentate thiolates. These complexes are considered to be constructed based on the general structural fragment (or building block) ML 2L′ (L=1,2-bidentate thiolate,L′=tertiary phosphine). Structural regularities are presented in Tables I, III, IV, and V and discussed. FAB mass spectroscopic data showed the possible fragmentation patterns. Synergism of the cluster skeletons is proposed to explain the occurrence of the distinct structural modes.

    Notes: Abstract A three-dimensional coordination polymer [Ni(en)2Ag3(CN)5]n (en = 1,2-diaminoethane) was synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group $$P\bar 1$$ ,a = 7.520(2) Å, b = 8.194(2) Å, c = 8.426(2) Å, α = 65.35(3)°, β = 69.57(3)°, γ = 68.91(3)°, V = 428.0(2), Å3 Z = 1. The 2D hexagonal grids are constructed using cyanides as bridges, and the Ag···Ag interactions between layers lead to a three-dimensional network.

    Notes: Abstract Two new members of the hexanuclear series [Co6S8(PR3)6] n+, complexes [Co6S8(PMe2Ph)6](ClO4) (1) and [Co6S8P(OMe)3 6] (2), have been synthesizes and characterized by X-ray diffraction analyses. Their formation process was postulated to go through trinuclear μ3--S bridged moieties. The structural characteristics of the M6E8P6 skeleton of a whole series of [M6E8(PR3)6] n+ (M=Co, Cr, Fe, Mo; E=S, Se, Te) complexes are presented in terms of atomic distances and core volumes.

    Notes: Abstract Nonlinear refractive index coefficient n2 of bacteriorhodopsin suspensions in water is measured by the Z-scan technique with a low power continuous wave laser at 647.1 manometer wavelength. Our results indicate that both the magnitude and the sign of n2 depend strongly on the light intensity. Negative values for n2 are obtained for on axis laser irradiance at the focus above 3 W/cm2. The observed self-defocusing phenomena can be attributed to the index change due to the light induced transition between the photochromic states. The results elucidate the origin of n2 and offer a plausible explanation for the differences in the reported n2 measurements.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé En raison du développement rapide de la microchirurgie, il est possible de réimplanter la plupart des doigts amputés. Chez certains patients, cependant, le traumatisme est tellement important qu'aucune réimplantation ne peut être tentée: dans les accidents par écrasement ou les lésions par “souffle” dans lesquelles la partie amputée est abîmée ou fracasée. Il existe de nombreuses méthodes pour reconstruire un pouce ou un doigt. Les procédés que nous employons dans notre Hôpital sont: (1) pour le pouce, le transfert du deuxième orteil, le lambeau unguéal du gros orteil avec greffon osseux, le lambeau unguéal et le transfert osseux du deuxième orteil; (2) pour les autres doigts, le transfert du deuxième orteil, seul ou combiné avec celui du troisième; (3) pour la main, le transfert bi ou unilatéral du deuxième orteil; et (4) des prothèses de main à visée esthétique.
    Abstract: Resumen Gracias al rápido desarrollo de la microcirugía, actualmente es factible reimplantar la mayor parte de los pulgares y los dedos de la mano que hay an sido amputados. Sin embargo, en ciertos pacientes el trauma es tan severo que la reimplantación no puede ser realizada, tal como ocurre con las lesiones por aplastamiento o por explosión, donde la parte amputada resulta severamente aplastada o fragmentada en pedazos. Existen muchos métodos de reconstrucción; los siguientes son los utilizados en nuestro hospital.
    Notes: Abstract Since the rapid development of microsurgery it is feasible to replant most severed thumbs and digits. In certain patients, however, the trauma is so severe that replantation cannot be performed, such as crush or burst injuries where the amputated part is badly smashed or broken into pieces. There are many methods used to reconstruct amputated thumbs or digits. In our hospital reconstruction of the thumb is accomplished by second toe transplantation, nail flap of the great toe transplantation and bone graft, and nail flap of the great toe and skeleton from the second toe transplantation. Reconstruction of fingers is undertaken through second toe transplantation and second and third toe transplantation. After total loss of the hand, double second toe transplant is used for reconstruction.

    Notes: Summary 2-Thenoyltrifluoroacetone isonicotinoyl hydra/one (H2L), made by condensation of 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone(TTA) with isonicotinic acid hydrazide, and its transition metal complexes were prepared. H2L functions as a tetradentate ligand for divalent metal ions, but as a tridentate ligand for trivalent metal ions, taking part in coordination in both mono- and divalent anions. Antioxidative tests were made to examine the elimination action for H2L and the complexes towards superoxide O inf2 sup−. and hydroxyl OH. radicals, which confirmed the efficient antioxidative action towards these radicals.

    Notes: Abstract Human and murine squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) have been reported to produce proinflammatory cytokines IL-1a, IL-6, GM-CSF, and IL-8 or KC. Production of individual members of the proinflammatory cytokine family has been associated with increased tumor growth or metastasis in a variety of neoplasms. In this study, we determined whether the expression of these cytokines occurs as a result of the events of cel-lular transformation or culture, or is promoted by interaction of neoplastic cells with factors or cells in the host environment. We compared the expression of proinflammatory cytokines following the spontaneous transformation of murine keratinocytes in vitro, and following the formation of tumors and metastases from these transformed keratinocytes in syngeneic recipients in vivo. Using sensitive ELISA assays, we found that cultures of the in vitro transformed Balb/c SCC line Pam 212 do not produce elevated levels of proinflam-matory cytokines IL-1a, IL-6, GM-CSF and KC, indicating that transformation or culture alone is insufficient to account for the level of cytokine expression detected in patient and experimental tumors. In contrast, Pam reisolates from primary and metastatic tumors were obtained which constitutively produce markedly elevated levels of cytokines IL-1a, IL-6, KC and GM-CSF. The increase in the expression of these cytokines by SCC in vivo occurred independent of T and B lymphocyte-mediated immunity, since increases in expression of the cytokines was observed in lines reisolated from immunodeficient athymic nude and SCID Balb/c congenic mice. The increased expression of cytokines appeared to result from additional events in vivo, rather than due to selection of a pre-existing cytokine-producing subpopulation, since clones of the parental cell line expressed lower cytokine levels than cloned reisolates, and clones of the non-secreting parental cell line that formed tumors in vivo secreted elevated levels of cytokines following reisolation. We conclude that the development of SCC that express proinflammatory cytokines is promoted by tumor-host interaction(s) that are independent of specific T and B cell immunity©Lippincott Williams & Wilkins
