    Notes: The temporal and spatial evolution of paired luminous rings is observed in pulsed capacitive radio-frequency (rf) hydrogen discharges. The time-resolved axial profile of the light intensity indicates that the outermost ring pairs near the electrodes start to appear earlier than the inner ones, and that only the left-side (right-side) rings of ring pairs turn on when the rf voltage applied to the left-side (right-side) electrode is positive. The physical mechanism to create the paired rings seems to be similar to that of the standing striations in dc glow discharges. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Diamond films were successfully synthesized in both parallel-plate radio frequency (rf: 13.56 MHz) CH4 and CH3OH plasmas with injection of H and OH radicals generated in the remote microwave (2.45 GHz) H2/H2O plasma. Effects of H, OH, and CH3 radicals on the diamond film formation in the rf plasma reactor were investigated by the formation of diamond films employing radical injection technique and the measurement of density in the plasma. Under the condition of diamond film formation, CH3 density was measured by infrared diode laser absorption spectroscopy (IRLAS). The kinetics of CH3 in rf CH4 and CH3OH plasmas with injection of H and OH radicals were evaluated from the results of optical emission spectroscopy and lifetime of CH3 radicals estimated by IRLAS. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Gold dots of 2.5 nm mean diameter and 0.8 nm standard deviation have been fabricated successfully on chromium oxide (CrOx) thin films. The CrOx thin films were deposited on Si substrates by sputtering and gold dots were subsequently deposited by a retarding-field single ion deposition (RSID) technique. The formation of gold dots has been investigated systematically with landing energies from 100 to 900 eV and doses from 10 to 40 C/m2. The dot diameter and density could be controlled by varying the landing energy and dose of gold ions arriving on the surface. The formation of single electron devices, quantum dots, nanopillars, and other nanoscale device structures is proposed using the RSID technique. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Background:  Biliary tract cancer is a highly fatal disease with poor prognosis, but the aetiology is poorly understood.Aim:  We aimed to identify Helicobacter bilis infection in the gallbladder in patients with biliary tract disease.Methods:  Archival gallbladder specimens from 34 patients (14 males and 20 females) with an average age of 61.4 ± 12.2 years (mean ± SE) were retrieved, consisting of 11 cases of gallbladder cancer, three of bile duct cancer, 16 of cholecystolithiasis and four of pancreatic cancer. DNA was extracted and nested PCR using primers specific for 16S rRNA of H. bilis was performed.Results : Amplification was observed in 3 of 11 gallbladder cancer cases (27.2%) and one of three cases with biliary duct cancer (33.3%). In total, four of 14 cases with biliary tract cancer were positive for H. bilis (28.6%). In addition, the presence of H. bilis was shown in two of 16 cases (12.5%) with cholecystolithiasis. Notably, although the number of cases examined was small, none of the four cases with pancreatic cancer showed the presence of H. bilis infection in the gallbladder without apparent abnormalities.Conclusion:  H. bilis infection may play a role in biliary tract disease, particularly in biliary tract cancer.

    Notes: Chronic inflammation has been reported to accelerate neoplasmas in gastrointestinal tract. Certain bacteria including Helicobacter pylori directly interact with host cells, induce proinflammatory cytokines and stimulate production of free radicals. Free radicals cause mutations in target cells so that neoplastic clones are established. Accumulation of such genetic alterations may cause malignant transformation of some established clones. In addition, inflammatory alterations may promote growth, expansion and invasion of gastrointestinal epithelial cells. The latter changes caused by inflammation may occur even without further genetic mutations or epigenetic alterations, and therefore may be categorized as ‘perigenetic alterations’ of neoplastic cells. For an example, tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) plays pivotal roles not only in the reduction but also in the growth, invasion and metastases of certain neoplasmas. Our studies show that TNF-α increases intracellular radical production, degradates E-cadherin / β-catenin complex and promotes dispersion and migration in epithelial cells transformed with an activated src oncogene (v-src). These data indicate that an inflammatory cytokine induces the malignant potential of src-activated neoplastic cells. Interestingly, TNF-α also induced these phenotypic changes in nonmutated cells whose c-Src was activated by TGF-α, suggesting that the invasive properties of the cell were not necessarily related to gene mutation. Furthermore, certain radical scavengers suppressed the invasive phenotype of the cells. These results indicate that perigenetic alterations are an important target of pharmacological intervention of carcinogenesis.
