    Notes: Our aim was to determine whether the development of gap junctions in the human gastric mucosa has any relation to gastric ulcer and gastric carcinoma. Freeze-fracture replicas were prepared from the endoscopic biopsy specimens of 20 patients with gastric ulcer and 7 healthy volunteers. Large fractured areas of lateral cell membranes of surface mucous cells were examined randomly under an electron microscope. Small gap junctions were observed between gastric surface mucous cells in all healthy volunteers. Gap junctions in the patients with gastric ulcer were significantly fewer than in the healthy volunteers. In addition, gap junctions in patients with recurrent ulcer were significantly fewer than in those with first-onset ulcer. There was no obvious relationship between age and the development of gap junctions in patients with gastric ulcer or in healthy volunteers. In the areas of intestinal metaplasia, gap junctions were occasionally seen between absorptive cells of the villi, but not in the lateral membranes of goblet cells. Fresh frozen sections for indirect immunofluorescence were prepared from the endoscopic biopsy specimens of 19 patients with gastric ulcer and 5 patients with gastric cancer. Monoclonal antibody against liver gap junction protein (anti-connexin 32, 6-3G11) was used for the indirect immunofluorescence. On the border of gastric ulcer, fluorescent spots in the surface mucous cells were significantly fewer than in the surface mucous cells of the body and antrum which were distant from the ulcer area in the same patients. In gastric cancer tissue specimens, fluorescent spots were not observed at all. On the other hand, fluorescent spots in the noncancerous tissue of the patients with gastric cancer were present along the intercellular junctions between gastric surface mucous cells. These findings suggest that loss of intercellular communication via gap junctions is associated with gastric ulcer formation and gastric cancer formation. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: This study clarifies and quantifies factors which increase the ductility of a low-molecular-weight propylene homopolymer having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.89 dl/g. The tensile behavior of homopolymer/ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) blends was studied from the viewpoint of the associated molecular structure of EPR and its compatibility with the homopolymer. When EPR is “dissolved” in a homopolymer, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the amorphous phase of a homopolymer was found to shift to a lower temperature, with homopolymer/EPR compatibility being subsequently evaluated using this shift, i.e., Δtg. Results show two conditions are required to improve the ductility of the low-molecular weight propylene homopolymer: ΔTg must be ≥ 3°C and ≥ 30 wt% EPR must be blended with the homopolymer.

    Notes: 10-Methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (M10P) for use in dentistry has recently been noted as an adhesive monomer contained in a metal primer. Although the treatment of a metal surface with primer before the application of resin is recognized to improve the adhesion between metal and resin, the role of M10P in the adhesion process has not been clarified. In this study, infrared reflection absorption (IRA) spectroscopy was employed to study the adsorption structures of M10P as well as 2-methacryloyloxyethyl dihydrogen phosphate (M2P) on evaporated silver substrates. The IRA spectra of the self-assembled films of those phosphates verified the adsorption of M10P or M2P on silver substrates from the methyl methacrylate solutions (5 × 10-5 mol/L). The saturation coverages of M10P and M2P were completed after about 50 and 25 min, respectively. Two characteristic bands around 980 and 1080 cm-1 due to the PO32- stretching vibrations were observed. These results indicate that the phosphate groups of both monomers are adsorbed to silver surfaces in the dissociated form, -PO32-, and form hydrophobic monolayers. The monolayer of M10P was found to be more durable against thermocycling in water than that of M2P by IRA measurements. The roles of M10P in the metal primer are presumably to form such a monolayer with appreciable durability and to promote polymerization with resin monomers. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Prostaglandin generation by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells is enhanced during co-culture with human thyroid cells. The objective of the present study was to determine the influence of various sera on this process.Human thyroid adenoma cell monolayers were cultured with normal human peripheral blood mononuclear cells for three days in the presence of a variety of sera, or serum fractions. Prostaglandin E (PGE) in the medium was measured by bioassay or by radioimmunoassay. Significantly more PGE was generated in cultures containing fetal calf serum than in those containing human serum. This difference was not abolished by dialysis of the human serum. When the 50% (NH4) 2SO4 precipitate of the serum was used, PGE generation was similar to that in fetal calf serum, indicating the presence of an inhibitory factor in human serum. The degree of this inhibitory activity was similar in autologous and heterologous human serum, as well as in normal subjects and patients with Graves' disease. Gel filtration and ion-exchange chomatography of human serum showed the inhibitor to co-migrate with albumin. Evidence presented suggests that the inhibitor is not albumin itself but is, instead, a factor tightly bound to albumin. Inhibitory activity was also found in rabbit, goat, rat and cow serum.Prostaglandins are potent modulators of immune-cell function. These data indicate that this process may be modulated by a factor in mammalian serum. The relative absence of this factor in fetal serum may have important implications in regard to the profound changes which occur in the immune system after birth.

    Notes: We characterized human umbilical vein (HUV) endothelial cells as to cell growth and prostacyclin production to get a better understanding of the properties of endothelial cells. Endothelial cell growth supplement (ECGS) and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) stimulated HUV endothelial cell growth. Heparin further enhanced the cell growth stimulated by ECGS, but not the cell growth stimulated by FGF or in the absence of these growth factors. In the presence of ECGS, the prostacyclin-producing capacity of the cells was inhibited by heparin. However, in the presence of FGF of in the absence of growth factors, heparin did not inhibit prostacyclin production. Therefore, it is likely that there is a specific correlation between heparin and growth factors for endothelial cells in the blood vessel to maintain nonthrombogenicity properly. Heparin-treated cultures may not be suitable for some examinations of prostacyclin production by vascular endothelial cells.
