Brain activation associated with visual motion studied by functional magnetic resonance imaging in humans

Localized brain activation in response to moving visual stimuli was studied by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Stimuli were 100 small white dots randomly arranged on a visual display. During the Motion condition, the dots moved along random, noncoherent linear trajectories at different velocities. During the Blink condition, the dots remained stationary but blinked on and off every 500 ms. The Motion and Blink conditions continuously alternated with 10 cycles per run and 6–8 runs per experiment. In half of the runs, the starting stimulus condition was Motion, while in the remaining runs it was Blink. A series of 128 gradient echo echoplanar images were acquired from 5–7 slices during each run using a 1.5 T GE Signa with an Advanced NMR echoplanar subsystem. The time series for each voxel were analyzed in the frequency domain. Voxels which demonstrated a significant spectral peak at the alternation frequency and whose phase changed in response to stimulus order were considered activated. These activated voxels were displayed upon high resolution anatomical images to determine the sites of activation and were also transformed into the coordinates of Talairach and Tournoux ([1988] Co-planar Stereotaxic Atlas of the Human Brain, New York: Thieme) for comparison to prior neuroimaging studies. Seven of ten subjects showed clusters of activation bilaterally at the junction of the temporal and occipital lobes (area 37) in response to moving stimuli. Most activated voxels were located within or adjacent to a region designated the parietal-temporal-occipital fossa, or PTOF. Five subjects also showed activation to moving stimuli in midline occipital cortex. The activated voxels in midline cortex had a significantly shorter phase delay in their MR signal change relative to voxels in PTOF. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 1

用MTTp和F-V曲线形状对吸烟者肺通气功能的对比研究

为评价部分平均通过时间（ＭＴＴｐ）和Ｆ－Ｖ曲线形状对检查吸烟者小气道功能的临床意义,作者对１１６例被动和轻、重度主动吸烟者进行了常规肺通气功能、ＭＴＴｐ和Ｆ－Ｖ曲线形状的探讨。常规肺通气功能和Ｆ－Ｖ曲线形状用常规法测定。ＭＴＴｐ用“简易计算法”公式计算。结果显示凸型Ｆ－Ｖ曲线的分布随吸烟程度而上升。·Ｖ５０、·Ｖ２５下降及ＭＴＴ４５％～５５％、ＭＴＴ７０％～８０％延长在凸型与重度吸烟组一致。ＭＴＴ４５％～５５％与ＭＴＴ７０％～８０％延长的范围在两者都是预计值的１１０％～１２０％,表明小气道功能已有轻度障碍。因而凸型Ｆ－Ｖ曲线、ＭＴＴ４５％～５５％及ＭＴＴ７０％～８０％延长、·Ｖ５０、·Ｖ２５下降都是检查小气道功能的敏感指标。用“简易计算法”计算ＭＴＴｐ简便准确,宜于临床推广应用

Comparative surface thrombogenicity of implanted vascular grafts.

In order to study the comparative thrombogenicity of neointimal surfaces that develop with three types of vascular graft materials (ultralightweight knitted dacron, knitted dacron external velour, and expanded Teflon), 36 female mongrel dogs had their infrarenal aortas alternately replaced with one of the three grafts. At the end of 3 or 6 months, the grafts were removed and the surface thrombogenicity of the neointimal surface was determined. Each graft was examined visually and microscopically for evidence of “healing.” At 6 months the external velour graft is lined more frequently than the other two grafts. The external velour graft has a markedly better incidence of cellular healing noted microscopically than the other two grafts at both time intervals. While the expanded Teflon has an initially lower surface thrombogenicity (probably due to the characteristics of Teflon surface), at 6 months, the velour graft has the lowest surface thrombogenicity. This is most likely due to cellular healing. Of all the completely lined grafts at both time intervals, the surface thrombogenicity of the velour grafts was most like that of the normal aorta. The velour graft appears to develop the least thrombogenic neointimal surface while becoming most frequently healed with a cellular neointimal surface.     

Complexity of the immunoglobulin light chain V kappa 1 gene family in the New Zealand black mouse

The immunoglobulin light chain V kappa 1 gene family is polymorphic in murine inbred strains and this family has been subdivided into five sub-groups (V kappa 1A-E). The V kappa 1A sub-group contributes to approximately 2% of the total serum immunoglobulin light chains in several mouse strains. However, it has been reported that this sub-group is absent in New Zealand Black (NZB) mouse serum. Amino acid sequencing of myeloma proteins from this inbred mouse has shown that they belong to the V kappa 1B sub-group. We report here the structure of nine functional germline genes from NZB mice that have high homologies to the V kappa 1A, V kappa 1B, V kappa 1C, and V kappa 1D sub-groups. In addition, a novel germline gene representing the prototype of a new sub-group (designated V kappa 1F) has been identified. We have isolated different V kappa 1 germline genes from a single restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) fragment, as well as identical V genes from two different RFLP migrating bands. Therefore, the complexity of the genes encoding the immunoglobulin variable region cannot be determined solely by RFLP analysis. Nucleotide sequence analysis of 16 V kappa 1 genes which code for NZB autoantibodies indicate that they belong to five different V kappa 1 sub-groups with five hybridomas (31%) expressing the V kappa 1A sub-group. Comparison of the sequences of V kappa 1 genes expressed in hybridomas with corresponding germline genes show no somatic mutations.     

KT/V and protein catabolic rate determination from serial urea measurement in the dialysate effluent stream

A bloodless technique of evaluating protein catabolic rate (PCR) and KT/V (K, clearance; T, dialysis time; V, urea distribution volume) in hemodialysis patients is presented based on serial measurement of urea in the dialysate effluent stream. PCR follows from equating urea generation and urea removal over a 7 day cycle, changes in body stores being comparatively negligible: PCR = 0.026 [U1 + U2 + U3]/BWdry + 0.17, where U1 is the amount of urea in mmol appearing in the dialysate for each session in the 7 day period. KT/V is obtained from the slope of the natural logarithm of spent dialysate urea concentration-time plot: KT/V = [- slope.T + 3.delta BW/BWdry]/[1 - 0.01786.T(hr], where delta BW = amount ultrafiltered in liters. The dialysate-based approach was validated and compared with conventional urea kinetic modeling (UKM) for 17 patients studied for three consecutive dialyses. The dialysate-based and UKM values of PCR agreed well when in vivo clearance values based on total dialysate collection were used for UKM. KT/V values agreed poorly on a session-by-session basis but were nearly equivalent when averaged for the three dialyses of the week. These findings lay the foundation for UKM automation with a urea sensor in the effluent dialysate stream.     

The relative ethylumbelliferone dealkylase activity characterizing the effect of different inducers on the hydroxylase system in the liver musomes of female mice

d,l-Camphor was detected as a new inducer of hydroxylase in the liver musomes of female mice. After a 2-day inhalation of d,l-camphor, cyt. P-450 and the ethylumbelliferone dealkylase were increased by 250 per cent and the NADPH-cyt. P-450 reductase by 350 per cent. The product [NADPH-cyt. P-450 reductase activity × cyt. P450 concentration] was shown to be a suitable reference parameter for the ethylumbelliferone dealkylase activity in the liver musomes during the treatment with four different inducers. The relative dealkylase activity Q was much decreased during inhalation of cyclohexane or d,l-camphor.

$\text{Q =}\text{mU ethylumbelliferone dealkylase}\text{mU NADPH-cty. P-450 reductase × nmoles cty. P-450/mg protein}$

Obviously these two inducers preferably enhanced cyt. P-450 species with a low dealkylase activity. The Q-values were reproducible. Q was increased by 100 per cent during induction of a MC-sensitive mouse strain with 3-methylcholanthrene, but it was only moderately decreased by induction with phenobarbital. Corresponding to this, methylcholanthrene is known to selectively induce a cyt. P-448 with high dealkylase activity whereas phenobarbital is known to change the hydroxylase specificity in the liver musomes not very much.
