A preliminary study of the changes in the direct-acting mutagenicities of several nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons after exposure under sunlight

Five commercially available nitropolyclyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAH), namely, 4-nitrobiphenyl, 2-nitrofluorene, 9-nitroanthracene, 1-nitropyrene, and 2,7-dinitrofluorene, were exposed under restricted sunlight in the open air. The direct-acting mutagenicities of the samples after an exposure of 45 days were measured in order to compare them with those of the original samples in the Ames Salmonella typhimurium bioassay. It was found that the mutagenicities of some nitro-PAH do not change significantly while the mutagenicities of others increase or decrease after exposure. A preliminary study of nitro-PAH reaction products after exposure using GC, GC/MS, and FT-IR is also reported.

Deletion of aldose reductase leads to protection against cerebral ischemic injury.

Previously, we reported that transgenic mice overexpressing endothelin-1 in astrocytes showed more severe neurological deficits and increased infarct after transient focal ischemia. In those studies, we also observed increased level of aldose reductase (AR), the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the polyol pathway, which has been implicated in osmotic and oxidative stress. To further understand the involvement of the polyol pathway, the mice with deletion of enzymes in the polyol pathway, AR, and sorbitol dehydrogenase (SD), which is the second enzyme in this pathway, were challenged with similar cerebral ischemic injury. Deletion of AR-protected animals from severe neurological deficits and large infarct, whereas similar protection was not observed in mice with SD deficiency. Most interestingly, AR(-/-) brains showed lowered expression of transferrin and transferrin receptor with less iron deposition and nitrotyrosine accumulation. The protection against oxidative stress in AR(-/-) brain was also associated with less poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and caspase-3 activation. Pharmacological inhibition of AR by Fidarestat also protected animals against cerebral ischemic injury. These findings are the first to show that AR contributes to iron- and transferrin-related oxidative stress associated with cerebral ischemic injury, suggesting that inhibition of AR but not SD may have therapeutic potential against cerebral ischemic injury.     

Release of severe post-burn axillary contracture with the latissimus dorsi flap

Summary One stage reconstruction of the anterior axillary fold, in a case of severe post-burn axillary contracture, with the island latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap is described. Postoperatively the patient had a full range of active abduction and a good cosmetic result.     

Polymer strength and chain conformation

It is found that the expected maximum strength of polymers is not proportional to the number of polymer chains per unit area. Under uniaxial stressing only part of polymer chains, i.e., overstressed chains, contribute to the strength of the polymer. The number of overstressed chains obtained here for some polymers is consistent with the results of electron paramagnetic resonance and stress-Fourier-transform IR measurements: (a) Polymers with all-trans conformation of their chains have more overstressed chains than those with helix conformation; (b) in the case of polymers with helix conformation, those with smaller side groups have more overstressed chains. Under uniaxial stress, the polymer chains change their conformation from gauche to trans which results in a relief of stress. Polymer with helix conformation thus have less overstressed chains and, hence, lower strength than polymers with all-trans conformation.
