    Notes: Laser light-scattering has been used to investigate the size of native proteoglycan aggregates (PGA-aA1) from day-8 chick limb-bud chondrocyte cultures isolated under associative extraction and purification conditions in 0.4M guanidinium chloride (GdnHCl) solution. Dynamic light-scattering measurements yielded a hydrodynamic radius, Rs, of 244 ± 10 nm for PGA-aA1 in 0.4M GdnHCl, and a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 150 ± 50 × 106 was obtained from a Zimm plot. Disaggregation in 4.0M GdnHCl aqueous solution yielded proteoglycan subunits (PGS) with Rs = 39 ± 2 nm, Mw = 1.6 ± 0.3 × 106, which reassembled in 0.4M GdnHCl to form “reconstituted native” aggregates (PGA-raA1) with Rs = 121 ± 6 nm, Mw = 17 ± 3 × 106. A second specimen of PGA-aA1 had Rs = 192 ± 10 nm, Mw = 100 ± 10 × 106. The latter value was estimated from an empirical relationship between Mw and Rs. After dissociation, this specimen reassembled to form PGA-raA1 with Rs = 85 ± 5 nm, Mw = 12 ± 1 × 106. These data are compared with those for a specimen of reconstituted aggregate (PGA-A1) that had been extracted under dissociative conditions and then reaggregated by dialysis to 0.4M GdnHCl aqueous solution, for which Rs = 138 ± 9 nm, Mw = 45 ± 8 × 106. From these values, we have calculated the weight-average number of subunits per aggregate Nw: 111 for PGA-aA1 and 12 for raA1 (70 and 7 for the second PGA-aA1 and PGA-raA1 specimen, respectively) as compared to 32 for PGA-A1. The numbers of subunits per aggregate were also determined from electron micrographs of spread specimens. The latter results show the same trends as those obtained by light scattering, but lead in each case to lower numbers of subunits per aggregate. These data demonstrate conclusively that PGA samples exhibit a higher degree of aggregation in solution than visualized in typical electron microscopy (EM) preparations, probably due to disaggregation during EM specimen preparation. Since Nw determined both by light scattering (LS) and by EM are larger for native versus reconstituted aggregate samples, our data point to a more compact aggregation of subunits along the hyaluronic acid (HA) chains in the former.

    Notes: This study represents the first systematic attempt to characterize the possible sources of artifacts that can interfere with the measurement of circular intensity differential scattering (CIDS) as a function of the scattering angle. A theoretical analysis of the effect of imperfect incident circular polarizations in the measurement of baselines from nonchiral scatterers and in the signals from chiral samples is derived. From this analysis the requirements of the tolerance on the quality of the incident circular polarizations to unequivocally measure the CIDS effect are established. The protocol for alignment of the CIDS instrument and the characterization of the incident polarizations utilized in these studies are described in detail. CIDS measurements on suspensions of helical sperm cells are presented. The experimental results are modeled computationally with the use of the current CIDS theory. Good agreement between the data and the computations is obtained. The results clearly indicate the ability of CIDS to provide information on the long-range chiral organization of samples in solution.

    Notes: Single crystals of poly(diacetylene) 1a with p-tosyloxymethyl side groups undergo photooxidation when irradiated with visible light of wavelength 520 nm or less. The presence of molecular oxygen adsorbed on the surface of the crystals and its subsequent photochemical reaction with the polymer were monitored using resonance Raman spectroscopy and the formation of holographic gratings. Reaction products which were identified include hydroperoxy groups, p-toluenesulfonic acid and poly(diacetylene) oligomers. The photooxidation reaction appears to proceed by the “ene” mechanism; the polymer reacts with singlet oxygen produced by energy transfer with the photoexcited poly(diacetylene) backbone.

    Notes: The interaction with DNA of two aromatic nitrogen heterocycles, 1 and 2, which at pH 6 have two positive charges on their ring systems and two cationic side chains, have been determined. A third similar compound, 3, with a single side chain and reduced ring charge, was analyzed as a control. Viscometric titrations with sonicated DNA indicated that all three compounds bind to DNA by intercalation. Spectrophotometric binding studies as a function of ionic strength indicated that both 1 and 2 bind to DNA as tetracations at pH 6. These are the first examples of intercalators with two charges directly on the intercalating ring system. Dissociation kinetics experiments as a function of ionic strength confirmed that 1 and 2 bind to DNA as tetracations. Compound 1 has a G · C base-pair binding preference, 2 seems to prefer binding to alternating pyrimidine-purine sequences regardless of the composition, and 3 has no significant binding specificity.

    Notes: Carbon fiber strands were used experimentally to substitute for tendons in dogs and clinically to reconstruct tendons and ligaments in human. The investigation was carried out to determine the histologic appearance of the new composite structure and its tensile strength in comparison to the natural structure. The histologic picture disclosed a remarkable structure evolved by continuous irritation of the carbon fibers and consisting of two interrelated components: synthetic carbon fibers and biologic collagenous tissue. This carbon fiber composite structure was composed of long cylindrical units containing concentric layers of collagenous fibers and cells enveloping the core of each carbon fiber. After one year of physiologic use in dogs, the average ultimate tensile strength of the composite structure which replaced the quadriceps and triceps was 372 N, or 88% the strength of the natural tendons. One year after implantation the histologic picture of the composite structure in human showed a relatively dense collagenous architecture. However, a significant proportion of the structure was taken up by histiofibroblasts produced by the irritation of the carbon fibers. Thus, the density of the collagen in the composite structure remained relatively deficient in comparison to the nature tendon, and the structural tensile strength continued to depend entirely on the integrity of the carbon fibers.

    Notes: Identically prepared, screw-type ceramic and titanium endosteal dental implants were inserted in the jaws of adult mongrel dogs for periods of up to 6 months. Sixteen of the 32 total implants supported fixed bridgework. The interface of bone and soft connective tissues with the dental implants was examined by routine and innovative scanning electron microscopic (SEM) techniques using both secondary and backscattered electron imaging. Results demonstrated excellent bone adaptation to both titanium and ceramic implants. Direct adaptation of bone to the upper third of both type implants was observed with only minimal amounts of any intervening fibrous connective tissue. A composite of trabecular bone and fibrous connective tissue was observed in the lower two-thirds of the implants examined. Areas of bone alteration suggestive of osteoid were observed at the thread apicis of some loaded implants. From this investigation we concluded that similar longitudinal tissue responses were generated to one-piece, cylindrical screw-type titanium and alpha alumina oxide ceramic dental implants. Possible bone remodeling was observed at the thread apicis of the loaded implants, an area where occlusal forces may be distributed. We further suggest that one-stage endosteal implants are capable of maintaining a proportional bone-to-implant interface at the apical support region, similar to that suggested to two-stage implant systems.

    Description / Table of Contents: Controlled polyelectrolyte adsorption can be used to render phospholipid bilayer membranes sensitive to physical and chemical signals. We describe in this paper the design and construction of macromolecular switches for bilayer membranes, which can be used to create lipid vesicles that release their contents rapidly and quantitatively in response to changes in pH, temperature, light intensity or glucose concentration. The kinetics and mechanisms of the molecular switching processes observed in such systems are also discussed.
    Notes: Kontrollierte Adsorption von Polyelektrolyten kann ein wirksames Werkzeug im Design von dünnen molekularen Filmen sein. Man kann erwarten, daß die Adsorption von Polyelektrolytketten das empfindliche Kräftegleichgewicht erheblich beeinflußt, das die strukturellen und funktionellen Eigenschaften von geordneten Strukturen wie Einzel-, Doppel- und Mehrfachschichten bestimmt. Andererseits ist die Adsorption von Polyelektrolyten außerordentlich sensitiv auf Umgebungsparameter, z.B. pH, Temperatur oder lonenstärke. Kontrollierte Adsorption kann daher zu Sensitivität auf bestimmte chemische oder physikalische Stimuli führen, sodaß auf diese Weise ein molekularer Schaltmechanismus entworfen werden kann. Durch Umsetzen dieser ldee in reale Systeme gelang es uns, molekulares Schalten in Mischungen von Poly(2-ethylacrylsäre) mit natürlichen oder synthetischen Phosphatidylcholinen zu bewirken. Insbesondere haben wir Phosphatidylcholinvesikel hergestellt, die ihren lnhalt nach einer Änderung von pH, Temperatur, Glukosekonzentration oder nach Bestrahlung mit Licht schnell und quantitativ freisetzen. Die Entwicklung und die Herstellung von Doppelschichtmembranen, die auf solche Änderungen reagieren, sowie die Kinetik und der Mechanismus des damit verbundenen molekularen Schaltprozesses werden im vorliegenden Artikel diskutiert.
