    Notes: Analysis of methyl- and ethylmercury (MM and EM) halides in biological and environmental samples is generally performed by gas chromatography with electron capture detection. Tedious sample work-up protocols and poor chromatographic response (using packed columns) have, however, shown the need for the development of new methods in this field.This paper reports a sensitive method, free from these deficiencies, for the determination of methyl- and ethylmercury. The organomercury compounds (MM and EM) are first released from the sample matrix, by the combined action of acidic potassium bromide and cupric ions, and then extracted into dichloromethane. The initial extracts are subjected to thiosulfate clean-up and the organomercury species are isolated as their chloride derivatives by addition of cupric chloride, and subsequent extraction into a small volume of organic solvent. Capillary GC coupled with atomic fluorescence detection provided excellent separation efficiencies for methyl- and ethylmercury and proved to be a very selective and sensitive technique. The absolute detection limit for both MM and EM was found to be 0.2 pg.

    Notes: Tissue specimens retrieved from four regions adjacent to hip implants during revision surgery were subjected to a novel treatment to make possible the quantitative separation of residual metal particulates and metal reaction products (metal ions and metal-protein complexes). The tissues were exposed to sodium hypochlorite solution that degraded and solubilized them, liberating metal reaction products and leaving behind metal wear particles, which were separated by centrifugation. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry was used to analyze the concentrations of the separated metal ions and wear particles. Co ion concentrations were 0.05 to 0.9 mM, Cr ion concentrations were 0.04 to 2.1 mM, and Ti ion concentrations were 0.30 to 0.60 mM. The weight of Co metal particles was 0.1 to 4.9 mg/100 mg tissue, of Cr metal particles 0.07 to 2.2 mg/100 mg tissue, and of Ti particles 0.09 to 5.2 mg/100 mg tissue; one black tissue sample contained 3333 mg Ti/100 mg tissue. No correlation was found between the concentrations of these two entities in the samples examined, probably due to the complex and varied processes creating them. The procedures discussed here will result in data that can help elucidate the separate contributions of metal reaction products and metal particulates to implant loosening. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Cyclic loaing of Ti-6-4 and Co-Cr-Mo (cast) test samples with grit-blasted or waffle-textured surfaces coated with a plasma-sprayed 50-μm HA layer was performed in air, Ringer's solution (5% dextrose), 0.9% NaCl (Tris buffer, pH 7.40), and balanced Hank's solution. Maximum interfacial stresses in bending of 40 ksi (280 MPa) and 20 ksi (140 MPa) were utilized, and the speciments tested to 106 cycles at 5 Hz with a MTS servohydraulic machine. Tested samples were examined by optical microscopy to determine coating integrity and thickness and by scanning electron microscopy (electron backscatter mode and EDAX) to determine surface morphology and chemical changes.The following observations were made: (1) Samples cyclically tested in solutions showed a general thinning of the coating, accentuated in the higher-stressed regions. (2) Samples tested with an equivalent static load in the solutions did not show this centralization. (3) Bare metal interface surfaces were noted on most of the edges of highly stressed central specimen regions, in several entire central regions, and on the upper surfaces of some of the waffled samples. (4) The specimens tested in Ringer's solution (pH 4.70 initially) demonstrated the most dramatic coating deterioration. (5) The coatings on titanium appeared more stable than these on Co-Cr as tested in all solution environments for both surface types.The HA coating evaluated in this experiment demonstrated increased instability when cyclically loaded in in vitro solutions of lowered pH and depleted cations (Ca2+) at stress levels of 280 MPa. The more physiological solution (Hank's) did not show this increased dissolution at the lower stress level. It is suggested that this type of testing be performed on other HA coatings due to the possible implications for long-term in vivo coating integrity.

    Notes: Changes in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) within CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons were imaged using confocal laser scanning microscopy in conjunction with Ca2+ -sensitive fluorescent indicators. The imaging was performed in thick hippocampal brain slices while simultaneously measuring or controlling electrical activity with sharp microelectrodes or whole-cell patch-clamp electrodes. The combination of imaging and electrophysiology was essential for interpreting the changes in [Ca2+]i. We compared the increases in [Ca2+]i produced by either of two methods-direct depolarization of the cell via the somatic electrode or high-frequency stimulations of synaptic inputs. The increases in [Ca2+]i in the soma and proximal dendrites caused by both methods were of comparable magnitude and they always decayed within seconds in healthy cells. However, the spatial patterns of distal Ca2+ increases were different. Separate sets of synaptic inputs to the same cell resulted in different spatial patterns of [Ca2+]i transients. We isolated and observed what appeared to be a voltage-independent component of the synaptically mediated [Ca2+]i transients. This work demonstrates that the combination of neurophysiology and simultaneous confocal microscopy is well suited for visualizing and analyzing [Ca2+]i within neurons throughout the CNS and it raises the possibility of routinely relating subcellular [Ca2+]i changes to structural and functional modifications. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Blends in which both of the component materials are capable of forming liquid crystalline phases are considered in the present work. Solid-state characterization data are presented that suggest that chemical reaction is not a dominant event when two such materials are blended in the melt. Also, ideas of small-molecule liquid crystal mixing are shown to be not applicable to describe the behavior of this system. A formalism for describing blends of liquid crystal polymers, based on Windle's sequence matching arguments, is proposed.

    Notes: Blends containing two, wholly aromatic, naphthalene-based liquid crystalline polymers (LCPs) are studied. Experimental results show that the viscosities of the resulting blends are lower than the parent LCPs over the entire shear-rate range investigated. The orientation development following capillary flow demonstrates, that over a defined blend composition range, some blends have higher orientability than the constituent polymers. This is further manifested in the tensile and flexural properties of injection-molded specimens. A detailed analysis indicates that in the composition range where synergistic effects are observed in orientation development as well as in mechanical properties, only one glass transition temperature is detected. This suggests that “miscibility” is desirable for obtaining maximum properties in these blend systems.

    Notes: The glycoprotein hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is synthesized in large quantities by the developing placenta, reaching peak concentrations in maternal blood during the late first trimester and early midtrimester of pregnancey. In general it is believed that the β-subunit of this dimeric hormone is expressed in pituitary gonadotropes, thyrotropes, and trophoblasts, while the β-subunit is expressed exclusively by trophoblasts. Studies from our laboratory and other laboratories have shown that some midtrimester human fetal tissues, in addition to the placenta, can synthesize proteins that appear to be very similar to the β-subunit of hCG. To define precisely the nature of this putative hCG-β-subunit in extraplacental fetal tissues, we have examined the mRNA from a variety of human fetal and adult tissues using nucleic acid hybridization and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods. Our results demonstrate that midtrimester fetal kidney and adrenal tissues contain hCG-β mRNA transcripts at concentrations comparable to that of placenta, while fetal lung, brain, muscle, and adult adrenal contain only trace to undetectable levels of hCG-β mRNA. By restriction endonuclease mapping of PCR fragments from fetal tissue cDNAs, we show that the hCG-β transcript expressed in midtrimester human fetal organs is a bone fide copy of hCG-β gene No. 5 of the β-subunit gene family located on chromosome 19. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: This review focuses on a new type of para-catenated aromatic polymer being used in the preparation of high-performance films and fibers of exceptional strength, thermal stability, and environmental resistance, including inertness to essentially all common solvents. Polymers of this type include cis and transpoly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO), and the cis and trans forms of the corresponding poly(p-phenylene benzobis-thiazole)(PBT). The purpose of this paper is to summarize the authors' theoretical work on the structures, conformational energies, intermolecular interactions, and electronic properties of PBO and PBT chains, including the protonated forms known to exist in strong acids. The emphasis is on how such studies provide a molecular understanding of the unusual properties and processing characteristics of this new class of materials.

    Notes: Two aromatic copoyester compositions were prepared from p-hydroxybenzoic acid, hydroquinone, and isophthalic acid with compositions 2 : 1 : 1 (HIQ50) and 1 : 1 : 1 (HIQ33). For each of these compositions, one random copolyester and one known sequence copolymer was prepared. The random compositions were prepared by melt condensation, whereas controlled sequence polymers were prepared by low-temperature solution polymerization. For the 1 : 1 : 1 composition, the controlled sequence polymer had higher crystallinity than that of the random, whereas the 2 : 1 : 1 composition random copolymer had higher crystallinity. The difference in crystallinity is attributed to the sequence distributions in the copolymers. All compositions were thermotropic in nature. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
