    Notes: 1 We examined whether extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMF) affect the basal level of cardiovascular parameters and influence of drugs acting on the sympathetic nervous system. 2 Male rats were exposed to sham control and EMF (60 Hz, 20 G) for 1 (MF-1) or 5 days (MF-5). We evaluated the alterations of blood pressure (BP), pulse pressure (PP), heart rate (HR), and the PR interval, QRS interval and QT interval on the electrocardiogram and dysrhythmic ratio in basal level and dysrhythmia induced by β-adrenoceptor agonists. 3 In terms of the basal levels, there were no statistically significant differences among control, MF-1 and MF-5 in PR interval, QRS interval, mean BP, HR and PP. However, the QT interval, representing ventricular repolarization, was significantly reduced by MF-1 (P 〈 0.05). 4 (−)-Dobutamine (β1-adrenoceptor-selective agonist)-induced tachycardia was significantly suppressed by ELF-EMF exposure in MF-1 for the increase in HR (ΔHR), the decrease in QRS interval (ΔQRS) and the decrease in QT (ΔQT) interval. Adrenaline (nonselective β-receptor agonist)-induced dysrhythmia was also significantly suppressed by ELF-EMF in MF-1 for the number of missing beats, the dysrhythmic ratio, and the increase in BP and PP. 5 These results indicated that 1-day exposure to ELF-EMF (60 Hz, 20 G) could suppress the increase in HR by affecting ventricular repolarization and may have a down-regulatory effect on responses of the cardiovascular system induced by sympathetic agonists.

    Magneto-photoluminescence of acceptors near the interfaces of AlxGa1−xAs/AlyGa1−yAs heterostructures (1995)

    Notes: Photoluminescence of AlxGa1−xAs/AlyGa1−yAs heterostructures has been performed in presence of high magnetic fields. Under the magnetic field the broad carbon related peak becomes resolved into several narrow peaks. Experimental results and a theoretical analysis based on the single band model suggest that these peaks are due to the recombination of free electrons with holes bound to neutral carbon atoms distributed in the several atomic layers in the well side of the interfaces of the heterostructures. Magnetic fields reduce the effects of interfacial roughness and make it possible to resolve the carbon related peak into several peaks. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Conversion acceptor and its contribution to hole scattering in annealed GaAs (1989)

    Notes: Unintentionally doped GaAs crystals grown by the horizontal Bridgman method were annealed at temperatures in the range from 700 to 910 °C under As overpressure. The n-type crystals subjected to heat treatment under As overpressure lower than the growing pressure revealed a conductivity-type conversion to p type. The electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, and photoionization cross sections were measured on the p-type samples, and the resulting analysis indicates that the conversion center is a double acceptor, most probably associated with CuGa defect. The activation energies attributable to the singly and doubly ionized states of the acceptor were found to be ∼150 and ∼380 meV at 0 K, respectively. The doubly ionized acceptor states turned out to provide strong space-charge scattering, which plays a crucial role in determining the hole behavior in the present material at high temperatures.

    Notes: The effects of several natural products on in vitro MMP-1 activity and UVA-induced MMP-1 synthesis in human dermal fibroblast (HDF) cultures were studied with the aim of developing novel anti-aging agents from natural sources. We measured MMP-1 activities by fluorescence assay using gelatin as substrates. In addition, UVA-induced MMP-1 expression was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and gelatin-based zymography in HDF cultures, and RT-PCR techniques were used. The results showed a strong inhibitory effect of the extracts of Dicentra spectabilis and of the flower buds of Tussilago farfara. In a concentration of 0.05% (w/v), the extracts of the flower buds of Tussilago farfara and of Dicentra spectabilis inhibited MMP-1 activity by 92 and 87% respectively. At 0.1% (w/v), the extracts of the flower buds of Tussilago farfara and of Dicentra spectabilis suppressed the UVA-induced expression of MMP-1 by an amount similar to that with Vitamin C 200 μm. These results suggest that the extracts of Dicentra spectabilis and of the flower buds of Tussilago farfara effectively protect skin from UV-induced photoaging. Therefore, the extracts are thought to have potential as effective raw materials for anti-aging cosmetics.

    Notes: A method to achieve ordering and selective positioning of single InAs self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) has been developed. The selective growth was achieved by manipulating the strain distribution on the sample surface. The QDs are formed on predesigned mesas with added strain. Single dots were obtained on small mesas. Using this technique, two-dimensional single QD arrays have been achieved. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Strain effects on optical gain in wurtzite GaN (1997)
    [S.l.] : American Institute of Physics (AIP)
    Journal of Applied Physics 82 (1997), S. 386-391

    ISSN: 1089-7550

    Topics: Physics
    Notes: Strain effects on optical gain in hexagonal bulk GaN are calculated and explained in terms of the change in the effective hexagonal crystal field component. Qualitatively, even unstrained wurtzite structures correspond to cubic crystals with a proper biaxial stress applied. Such biaxial stress results in effective tensile deformation along the c axis ([111] direction in cubic crystals) and compressive strain in the perpendicular plane. Therefore, the light mode with a polarization vector parallel to the c axis is suppressed, while the mode with a perpendicular polarization is enhanced in wurtzite structures. Thus, compared to cubic structures with similar material parameters, a strong optical anisotropy of wurtzites results in enhanced gain for certain light polarizations, which make wurtzite structures superior for lower-threshold lasing. These qualitative arguments are illustrated by numerical calculations of optical gain in biaxially strained wurtzite GaN, based on a 6×6 envelope-function Hamiltonian. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Specificity of the lactoferrin and transferrin receptors in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (1988)

    Notes: Lactoferrin (LF) and transferrin (TF) are postulated to be important physiological sources of iron for Neisseria gonorrhoeae. A dot binding assay involving the use of gonococcal total membranes derived from cells grown in iron-limited conditions demonstrated the presence of separate receptors for LF and TF. The ligand and functional specificities of these receptors were examined in competition-binding and growth experiments. The results indicate that the LF and TF receptors are highly specific for the human protein, suggesting that this property may be partially responsible for conferring the human host specificity of N. gonorrhoeae.

    Post-natal Changes of Cyclin-dependent Kinase 5 Activator Expression in the Developing Rat Cerebellum (2005)

    Notes: cDNA of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) was cloned based on its primary sequence homology to Cdc2 and Cdk2. Cdk5 requires the neuronal Cdk5 activators such as p35 or p39nck5ai (p39) for its activity. In this study, we examined post-natal changes in the p39 expression pattern during the development of the rat cerebellum. p39 began to express in somata and dendrites of Purkinje cells at post-natal day 3 (PD3). In particular, at PD12, parasagittal bands (stripes) with p39 immunoreactivity were weakly observed. At PD21, p39-immunoreactive stripes were developed when compared with the PD12 group. At this age stage, p39 immunoreactivity became weak in somata of Purkinje cells, not forming stripes. At PD28, a series of parasagittal bands were more distinct than those of the PD21 group, and p39 immunoreactivity disappeared in Purkinje cells, not forming p39 immunoreactive stripes. In the adults, p39 immunoreactivity in Purkinje cells was similar to that found in the PD28 group which showed that parasagittal bands were very narrow, and became progressively more slender. Therefore, we suggest that the post-natal changes of p39 expression in Purkinje cells in the cerebellum is an autonomous characteristic of Purkinje cells with a role of Cdk5 activators.

    Notes: Abstract A phenotypically female infant with 46-XY chromosomes was found to have Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome, type II a rare congenital malformation syndrome with many features of the more common classic Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. The patient's skeletal survey revealed characteristic and previously undescribed skeletal anomalies which are reported. In addition a lipoma of the pituitary gland was found on magnetic resonance imaging. This lesion is particularly interesting given the hypothesized steroid abnormality in Smith-Lemli-Opitz, type II syndrome, the sexual ambiguity of males with this syndrome and the similarity of this syndrome to the Pallister-Hall syndrome which characteristically has a hamartoblastoma of the hypothalamus.

    Notes: Abstract MR angiography using 3D and 2D time-of-flight techniques were used to evaluate pediatric neurological disorders. MRA (arteriography) and MRV (venography) were abnormal in 63 and 45 cases, respectively. Conventional cerebral angiography was performed in 30 cases. These techniques were compared with MRI and conventional angiography. In addition, the value of MR angiography for surgical planning was subjectively evaluated. Our results showed that intracranial vessels were invariably better showed on MR angiography than on MRI. MRA and MRV were most useful in evaluating vascular distortions related to congenital brain malformations and intracranial tumors. MRA was valuable in detecting arterial narrowing but overestimated the degree of stenosis compared with conventional angiography. MRV was the technique of choice for evaluation of dural sinus and cerebral venous thrombosis and compression. MRA played little to no role in preoperative planning of vascular malformations and aneurysms. It did not appear to be accurate in assessing tumor vascularity or lesions in small arteries and arteritis.
