    Notes: In this study, violent advertising is discussed. An empirical study, using picture analysis, is carried out. The intent of the advertisers' message is compared with the interpretation of a male and a female consumer group. It is concluded that the consumers' interpretations not are the ones that the advertisers had intended. The violence was interpreted in a much more negative way than expected. It is also concluded that there are differences in interpretations between men and women.

    Notes: Abstract As a basis for policy decisions, governments are increasingly using analysis of systems of innovation. Fundamental to the systems of innovation approach is the recognition that innovation processes essentially are interactive activities. The present paper illustrates the use and limitations of bibliometries in analysing the knowledge production and knowledge flows in a section of an innovation system focusing on life science subject fields relevant to innovation processes in biotechnology. Bibliometrics can in this context be used to identify the actors in a research intensive innovation system, the scientific profiles of actors as well as identifying networks and collaboration patterns.

    Notes: Summary Adrenal medullary tissue from adult rats was dissociated into cell suspensions and injected into the anterior chamber of the eye, where the cells were made to attach to the previously sympathectomized irides with the use of fibronectin. Short- and long-term survival of the chromaffin cells was examined in whole mounts of irides using Falck-Hillarp fluorescence histochemistry or indirect immunohistochemistry with antibodies against adrenaline and dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DBH). After 6 days in oculo all cells were immunoreactive for adrenaline; almost none displayed processes even if β-nerve growth factor (NGF) was given at grafting. One month after weekly intraocular injections of NGF, many cells were surrounded by nerve fiber net-works and all cells were DBH-immunoreactive. Eight months postgrafting and 7 months after the last injection of NGF almost the entire iris was reinnervated and resembled a normal, sympathetically innervated iris. Both at 1 and 8 months, chromaffin cells, ganglion cells and transitional cell forms (chromaffin cells transforming towards ganglion-like cells) were found in irides from the NGF-treated eyes. The number of ganglion cells was remarkably increased with time by NGF, while the number of chromaffin cells decreased compared to controls. A single treatment with NGF at grafting had no marked effects as examined up to 3 months; at this time there was a certain outgrowth of nerve terminals, which, however, was not as pronounced as 1 month after repeated NGF injections. In conclusion, it is shown that some cells in a chromaffin cell suspension attach to the iris, transform to ganglion cells after an induction with exogenous NGF, and reinnervate the sympathically denervated iris. Such cells remain ganglion-like in character and continue to form processes even after cessation of exogenous NGF treatment.

    Notes: Abstract A substrate of the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin has previously been found to promote the modulation of freshly isolated rat aortic smooth muscle cells from a contractile to a synthetic phenotype early in primary culture. In contrast, substrates of the basement membrane proteins laminin and collagen type IV were found to retain the cells in contractile phenotype. Here, we have studied whether rat aortic smooth muscle cells that have already adopted a synthetic phenotype are also affected differently by these proteins. For this sake, subcultured cells were detached with trypsin, seeded on substrates of either fibronectin or laminin plus collagen type IV, and incubated in a serum-free medium for one to three days. RNA blot and immunoblot analyses indicated that cells grown on laminin plus collagen type IV expressed smooth muscle α-actin transcripts and protein at higher levels than cells grown on fibronectin. Moreover, immunocytochemical and electron-microscopic analyses revealed that cells positively stained for smooth muscle α-actin and cells with a cytoplasm dominated by large microfilament bundles were more numerous on laminin plus collagen type IV than on fibronectin. Finally, thymidine autoradiography showed that the DNA synthetic response to stimulation with platelet-derived growth factor or serum was weaker in cells grown on laminin plus collagen type IV than in cells grown on fibronectin. These findings confirm the notion that a substrate of laminin and collagen type IV stimulates the in vitro expression of differentiated smooth muscle traits at a higher level than does a substrate of fibronectin. In addition, this effect appears to be independent of the phenotypic state of the cells at the time of seeding.

    Notes: The two mammalian neuropeptides substance P (SP) and neurokinin A (NKA) have been demonstrated to stimulate DNA synthesis in connective tissue cells, suggesting that peripheral neurons may play a role in development and tissue regeneration. In this study we have tried to identify intracellular messengers required for SP- and NKA-induced DNA synthesis. SP and NKA, as well as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulated formation of inositol phosphates in smooth muscle cells (SMC), whereas no effect on inositol phosphates formation occurred in response to nonmitogenic neuropeptides. Pretreatment of the cells with pertussis toxin markedly decreased DNA synthesis induced by NKA. This toxin inhibits formation of inositol phosphates by acting on a regulatory G-protein. Calcium and calmodulin antagonists also inhibited NKA-induced DNA synthesis. These results imply that the mitogenic signal(s) produced by activated neuropeptide receptors involves formation of inositol phosphate and activation of a calcium/calmodulin dependent process. We further report that other neuropeptides occurring in peripheral neurons, i.e., vasoactive intestinal polypeptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide, neuropeptide Y, somatostatin, or cholecystokinin, are without growth-stimulatory effect on cultured SMC.

    Notes: The subcellular localization of the c-fos proto-oncogene product was studied in the G1, S, G2, and mitotic phases of the cell cycle by indirect immunofluores-cence. For these analyse c-fos transfected L6J1 rat skeletal myoblasts and adult rat aortic smooth muscle cells in secondary culture, and c-fos- and c-myc co-transfected mouse Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts were used. During G1, S, and G2, the c-fos protein was evenly distributed in the nucleus, with exclusion of the nucleoli. In mitotic prophase the c-fos antigen was dissociated from the condensed chromosomes and became diffusely distributed in the cell cytoplasm, where it remained until telophase, when, again, it appeared to be associated with chromatin in the re-assembling nucleus. When comparing the subnuclear distribution of the c-fos product with that of densely packed DNA, stained with the fluorochrome Hoechst, an inverse relationship was found. Dispersed chromatin regions with weak Hoechst DNA fluorescence showed a stronger fos immunofluorescence than regions that contained a higher concentration of DNA. The localization of c-fos antigen partially overlapped with that of antigens typical of small nuclear ribonucleoprotein complexes participating in transcription and splicing.To examine if the c-fos protein would bind preferentially to specific interphase chromosomes the nucleus was fragmented into micronuclei containing single, or groups of, chromosomes. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that the majority of micronuclei were fos-positive. Possible roles of the c-fos proto-oncogene product are discussed in relation to other nuclear antigens.

    Notes: The effects of two adenosine analogs on cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation and DNA synthesis were studied in cultured smooth muscle cells (SMCs) isolated from adult and neonatal rat arteries. N-ethylcarboxamido adenosine (NECA) dosedependently increased intracellular cAMP levels and appeared to be more potent in adult than in neonatal SMCs. R-phenylisopropyl adenosine (R-PIA), in nanomolar concentrations, counteracted the increase in cAMP evoked by 10 μM forskolin in adult but not in neonatal SMCs, indicating that the enhanced “A2” response seen in adult SMCs was not due to a lack of “A1” receptors in these cultures. Binding experiments performed using the adenosine antagonist XAC did not reveal any differences in the number or affinity of the adenosine receptors between neonatal and adult SMCs. This indicates effects presumably on the G-protein level. A high capacity to spontaneously synthesize DNA and a weak response to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) were seen in the neonatal SMCs. Furthermore, NECA had no effect on PDGF-induced DNA synthesis in these cells. In contrast, adelt SMCs presented a low rate of spontaneous DNA synthesis and a marked proliferative response to PDGF, which was inhibited by NECA. This inhibition paralleled the increase in cAMP elicited by NECA. Our findings suggest that neonatal and adult SMCs differ both in their response to growth factors and growth inhibitors. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
