    Notizen: Abstract Utilization of highly enriched preparations of steroidogenic Leydig cells have proven invaluable for studying the direct effects of various hormones and agents on Leydig cell functionin vitro. However, recent work indicates that isolated Leydig cells are often subjected to oxygen (O2) toxicity when cultured at ambient (19%) oxygen concentrations. Because intracellular antioxidants play an important role in protecting cells against oxygen toxicity, we have investigated the intracellular antioxidant defense system of isolated Leydig cells. The cellular levels of several antioxidants including catalase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G-6-PDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD) of the Cu/Zn & Mn variety, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and total glutathione were quantitated using enriched populations of Leydig cells isolated from adult male guinea pig testes. Compared to whole testicular homogenates, Leydig cells contained significantly (P〈0.01) less G-6-PDH, total SOD, glutathione reductase and total glutathione, but significantly (P〈0.001) more glutathione peroxidase. Compared to hepatic values previously reported in the guinea pig, Leydig cells contain nearly 400 times less catalase, about 14 times less glutathione peroxidase and almost 11 times less glutathione reductase. Since G-6-PDH and glutathione reductase are both necessary to regenerate reduced gluthathione (GSH) which couples with glutathione peroxidase to breakdown hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under normal conditions, it is plausible that the oxygen toxicity observed in isolated Leydig cells is due to the intracellular accumulation of H2O2. Using the dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCF-DA) assay, we found that Leydig cells incubated in the presence of 19% O2 produced significantly (P〈0.001) higher levels of H2O2 with time in culture compared to Leydig cells maintained at 3% O2. These results support the hypothesis that the increased susceptibility of isolated Leydig cells to oxygen toxicity may be due, in part, to decreased amounts of certain antioxidant defenses and an increased production of the reactive oxygen species H2O2.

    Notizen: Abstract The effect of the antiarrhythmic drugs lidocaine, quinidine and procainamide on macrophage function was investigated in RAW 264.7 mouse monocytic macrophage cell. Cells stimulated by either zymosan or phorbol ester were found to generate both superoxide (O 2 − ) and H2O2. The production of O2 was detected as superoxide dismutase inhibitable ferricytochrome c reduction. H2O2 production was monitored in both chemical and flow cytometric fluorescent assays. Although all three drugs inhibited both O2 and H2O2 release in a dose dependent manner, only quinidine was found to have significant inhibitory effects. The amounts of quinidine required to cause a 50% inhibition in O2 production in zymosan and phorbol ester stimulated cells were found to be 250 μM and 300 μM, respectively and the amounts required to cause one-half optimum levels of H2O2 production in these cells were found to be 50 μM and 100 μM, respectively. The effect of these drugs on O2 producing NADPH oxidase was investigated and only procainamide was found to have a significant effect (p〈0.001) in inhibiting the oxidase activity. Lidocaine and quinidine had no significant effect on the activation of the respiratory burst oxidase. A sensitive and convenient ‘differential phagocytosis’ assay was devised on the basis of number of particles engulfed by individual phagocytes using flow cytometric techniques. It appears to be remarkably free of interference and was applied to investigate the role of antiarrhythmic drugs on the phagocytosis of fluorescent latex beads. All three antiarrhythmic drugs inhibited phagocytosis of latex beads in a dose dependent manner irrespective of the number of particles phagocitized by the cells. The results of these studies do not conclusively establish a mechanism of action of these drugs on the generation of O2 and H2O2 by stimulated macrophages; nevertheless, it is interesting that all three drugs inhibited the phagocytic activity.

    Notizen: The physical dimensions of several (1 → 6) branched (1 → 3) -β-D-glucan samples obtained from different organisms and their derivatives have been studied by electron microscopy, light scattering measurements, viscometry, and gel permeation chromatography. The electron micrographs indicate that in most samples these biopolymers are adequately described as linear worm-like coils. A sample reconstituted from alkaline media appeared as a blend of the linear, circular, and aggregated polymer morphologies. The average mass per unit length, ML = Mw/Lw for the macroscopically linear samples, was estimated to be 2100 ± 200 g mol-1 nm-1. The parameter mL was determined from the contour lengths obtained by electron microscopy and the molecular weight by light scattering measurements. The observed ML was consistent with the triple-helical structure reported from x-ray diffraction studies and observed degree of side-chain substitution. From the molecular snapshots shown in the electron micrographs, the persistence lengths of these β-D-glucans were determined to be 140 ± 30 nm. The experimentally determined intrinsic viscosities were consistent with these estimates of ML and persistence length. Comparison of the molecular weight distributions obtained from gel permeation chromatography and those deduced from the electron micrographs indicates that number and weight average contour lengths are more reliable than z and z + 1 averages. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: A new method for the synthesis of aromatic polysulfides has been developed by the polycondensation of S,S′-bis(trimethylsilyl)-substituted aromatic dithiols with activated aromatic dihalides. The solution polycondensation of three S-silylated aromatic dithiols with bis(4-chloro-3-nitrophenyl) sulfone afforded readily aromatic polysulfides having inherent viscosities of 0.7 dL/g, and the polymerization with bis(4-fluorophenyl) sulfone gave the polymers with viscosity values of 0.3 dL/g. The silylation method was compared advantageously with a conventional route using parent dithiols and activated aromatic dihalides.

    Notizen: When a water-swollen polyelectrolyte gel is interposed between a pair of electrodes and DC current is applied, the gel undergoes electro-chemomechanical contraction and concomitant water exudation both in water and in the air. In order to clarify the mechanism of the phenomenon, contractile experiments were carried out under various conditions and led to the conclusion that the contraction is essentially associated with electrically driven movement of hydrated micro- and macroions in the gel (electrokinetic process).

    Notizen: A paper form solid electrolyte (PFSE) with good conductivity and flexibility was developed. PFSE is made of an inorganic-organic composite consisting of a copper ion conductive solid electrolyte of Rb4Cu16I7Cl13 (SE) and a polymer binder embedded in a synthetic fibre network. A PFSE with styrene-butadiene based synthetic rubber (SB) was found to give the highest conductivity among the binding materials that we examined. The SB content was changed from 10 vol% to 90 vol% in the PFSE, and the electrical properties and the damp resistance of PFSE were evaluated. Electrical conductivity decreased slightly with an SB content below 70 vol% and abruptly above 70 vol%. The damp resistance of PFSE improved with the increase of the SB content and was superior to that of the raw powder. The PFSE with 65 vol% SB showed relatively high conductivity, 3 × 10-3 S/cm, which was sufficient for battery use, and good damp resistance.

    Notizen: A variety of 3-alkynyl perfluoroalkyl ketones were prepared by a trifluoroborane etherate mediated 1,4-addition reaction of (l-alkynyl)diisopropoxyboranes to α,β-unsaturated ketones substituted by a perfluoroalkyl group. The undesired side reaction, such as 1,2-addition of alkynyl groups, could be avoided completely and the products were obtained in high yields.

    Notizen: A sensitive and rapid method to analyse fuel components in blood from rats exposed to kerosene or light oil vapour was developed by making use of capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The aliphatic hydrocarbons with carbon numbers 8-10 and aromatics such as toluene, xylene, 3- and 4-ethyltoluene and trimethylbenzenes were clearly detected in blood from rats exposed to kerosene or light oil vapour, using the head-space method combined with the salting-out technique. The concentration ratio of pseudocumene to toluene in blood exposed to light oil was higher than that in the case of exposure to kerosene. The lower limits of detection were 50 pg and 1 ng in toluene and pseudocumene, respectively. Our suggestion is that this method is useful in forensic investigations to detect fuel components in blood and for the purposes of differentiating kerosene and light oil in blood tissues.

    Notizen: The shifts in membrane potential, caused by the injection of glucose into a permeation cell, were measured using immobilized (entrapped) glucose oxidase membranes. No, pH change in the permeation cell was observed upon injection of glucose, but the shift in membrane potential was definitely detected. The shift in membrane potential was observed under nitrogen bubbling (in the absence of oxygen) using initially used enzyme membranes. It was, therefore, suggested that the shifts in membrane potential were not caused by an enzyme-substrate reaction, but by binding of the substrate to the enzyme, which indues a conformational change in the enzyme and leads to a change in charge density in the enzyme membrane. This mechanism is also supported by the fact that the shifts in membrane potential were observed upon injection of not only D-glucose but also L-glucose as reported in our previous study [J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans., 87, 695 (1991)]. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Sodium salts of ethylene-co-ethyl acrylate-g-maleic anhydride show high rebound resilience, the same as those of both saponified ethylene-co-ethyl acrylates and sodium salts of ethylene-co-methacrylic acids at low salt contents. The measurements of thermal and mechanical properties and dynamic viscoelastic behaviors indicate that the sodium salts of ethylene-co-ethyl acrylate-g-maleic anhydride behave like strong ionic bond cross-linkages close to covalent bond cross-linkages in the polymer, differing from the monocarboxylate salts of saponified ethylene-co-ethyl acrylate and the sodium salts of ethylene-methacrylic acid. It is concluded that the strong cross-linking of the dicarboxylate salts of the neutralized ethylene-co-ethyl acrylate-g-maleic anhydride causes the high rebound resilience. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
