Phase matching by the artificial anisotropic structure and its application to a mode converter are proposed for millimeter-wave dielectric circuitry. A phase-matched dielectric planar waveguide is designed and mode conversion characteristics are studied. An experimental result of the nonreciprocal mode converter are presented to show the usefulness of the structure.

The sensitivity of 3T3 cells to immune cytolysis with antiserum and complement was much different between the substratum-attached and the suspended cells. The former was highly sensitive, while the latter was resistant to immune cytolysis. The results of absorption tests of antiserum indicated that this lytic resistance was not ascribed to the change in amount of surface antigens in the suspended cells. Possible mechanisms for the lytic resistance were discussed.

A 59 year-old man with erythema elevatum diutinum which we consider a variant of cutaneous vasculitis, is reported. An excellent therapeutic effect with Dapsone (DDS) was obtained in this case. Clinical and histopathological similarities among erythema elevatum diutinum, extracellular cholesterosis and granuloma annulare are discussed.

The effects of topical application of glucocorticoids on the epidermal beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response were investigated. A significant increase in this receptor response was observed 24 h following topical application of potent glucocorticoid ointments (0.12% betamethasone-17-valerate, 0.05% clobetasol-17-propionate). The application of a relatively weak glucocorticoid, hydrocortisone-17-butyrate, revealed no augmentation effect. There was no significant difference in other adenylate cyclase responses (adenosine-, and histamine-) between control and glucocorticoid-treated epidermis. UVB irradiation is known to augment the beta-adrenergic response of epidermis. Comparison of the effects revealed that topical glucocorticoid treatment had less effect than UVB irradiation, and when the UVB irradiation was combined with glucocorticoid treatment, the beta-adrenergic augmentation effect was not enhanced. Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activities were not significantly altered by the glucocorticoid-, UVB-, or combined treatments. Our data indicate that epidermal beta-adrenergic adenylate cyclase response is affected by topical application of 'potent' glucocorticoids in vivo. Although the effect is weaker than that induced by UVB irradiation, we believe the system might be a useful tool for dissecting the glucocorticoidal potency of topical preparations using the epidermal keratinocyte response in vivo.

Immunohistochemical localizations of 3',5'-cyclic AMP (cAMP) and 3',5'-cyclic GMP (cGMP) were performed in the involved and non-involved epidermis of psoriasis and in the normal controls. The following results were obtained: 1. In the normal epidermis, cAMP was located in the cytoplasm throughout the epidermis but it was more pronounced in its upper portions, especially in the granular layers. Occasionally it was also observed in the nuclear membrane. However, cGMP was located mainly in the cytoplasm of the lower layers of epidermis, though the fluorescence was less pronounced as compared with that of cAmP. 2. In the noninvolved psoriatic epidermis, the localization pattern of cAMP was basically similar to that in the normal control, but its fluorescence seemed more pronounced. The fluorescence of cGMP was essentially the same as that in the normal control. 3. In the involved psoriatic epidermis, the distribution pattern of cAMP was essentially the same as that in the normal control, but its fluorescence seemed more pronounced. Marked increase in the fluorescence of cGMP was observed in the involved psoriatic epidermis, though it was much more pronounced in its lower portions.

Two cases of left atrial ball thrombus associated with severe mitral stenosis in which echocardiography provided the clue to the diagnosis preoperatively were reported. First case was a 58 years old man who was admitted because of dyspnea and frequent syncopal attacks. An echocardiographic examination revealed a tight mitral stenosis and a floating ball thrombus in the left atrium. Under the extracorporeal circulation, the ball thrombus, 30 X 40 mm in size, weight 20 g was taken out. The other case was a 51 years old woman who had undergone surgery for closed mitral commissurotomy 14 years ago. She had a episode of syncope attack and a sudden loss of consciousness. The removed thrombus was 20 X 26 mm in size and weighed 5 g. Their cut surfaces showed an laminated structure in both cases. These mitral valves were replaced by Björk-Shiley prosthetic valves.

The present study was undertaken to elucidate the effect of calcium ion on the granulation tissue formation during wound healing. Male guinea pigs of Pilbright strain were chosen as the experimental animal. An appropriate open wound was aseptically made on the dorsum of the guinea pigs, which was then equipped with a sterile Teflon-cylinder. The amounts of granulation tissues developed within the cylinder were determined during 10 day period of the observation. In addition, various concentrations of CaCl2 were applied on the wound surface for up to 3 days after the wounding. Calmodulin contents in the granulation tissue were also determined using calmodulin-deficient phosphodiesterase prepared from bovine heart. Purified pig skin epidermal calmodulin was used as the standard. The results obtained were as follows: The amount of the granulation tissue increased in a stepwise manner during 3, 5, 7, and 10 days after the wounding. Calmodulin content in the granulation tissue was maximal on the day 3 after the wounding, waned on the day 5, and remained low on the days 7 and 10. A significant augmentation of the granulation tissue production as well as of calmodulin content was observed when CaCl2 was applied on the wound surface during 3 days after the wounding. These results suggest that calcium ion might have a significant role on granulation tissue development, possibly through the Ca++-calmodulin system, during early stages of wound healing process.

Calmodulin (CaM) ist ein multifunktionales kalziumabhangiges Modulatorprotein, das in nahezu allen Eukaryozyten gefunden wird (Cheung 1980). Als zentraler Mediator des zellularen Kalzium-Signals steuert es z.B. den Ca2+-Transport, die Neurotransmitterausschuttung, Steroidsynthese, Mitosen und Zellbewegungen. Es reguliert Enzymaktivitaten, wie z. B. die Adenylatzyklase, cAMP-Phosphodiesterase (PDE) und Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase, Phosphorylase-Kinase, Phospholipase A2 und NAD-Kinase (Marme 1981).

Change of optical absorption after etching was experimentally studied on Ca and Bi doped GdIG films. When argon sputter-etching was performed on as-grown films for a period of time, absorption decreased to the same level as when reduction treatment was performed in Fe(OH)2 solution. Measurement of lattice constant showed that it increased up to a certain value in both cases of sputter-etching and reducing treatment. Further sputter-etching resulted in the increase of loss, while lattice constant remained unchanged. Change of absorption can be explained by changes in valency of ferric ions, whereas change of lattice constant is mainly attributed to reduction of Pb4+ to Pb2+.

We have studied a method to widen the spectrum of optical pulses that pass through an InGaAsP waveguide for application to broadband optical communication. In particular, we have investigated the competitive effect between spectral broadening arising from nonlinear refraction (optical Kerr effect) and shrinking due to two photon absorption in the InGaAsP waveguide with χ(3) nonlinearity. The shrunk spectrum recovers broadening by the enhancement effect of the nonlinear refractive index near the bandgap of InGaAsP with a bandgap wavelength of 1490 nm. The broadened spectral width at around 1525 nm (196.7 THz) becomes 10.7 times wider than that at around 1560 nm (192.3 THz) without the enhancement effect, where amplified optical pulses with a pulse width of ∼ 2 ps and a peak power of 10 W propagate through a 1-cm-long InGaAsP waveguide with a cross-section of 4 (μm)2., {"references":["G.

INTRODUCTION In optical communication systems, an optical isolator is indispensable in protecting active photonic devices from unwanted reflected light. An optical isolator with a Si guiding layer is a significant device for silicon photonic integrated circuits. In this paper, the authors report on an interferometric optical isolator with a Si guiding layer which can be operated in unidirectional magnetic field. DEVICE STRUCTURE Figure 1 shows an interferometric optical isolator with a Si guiding layer employing a nonreciprocal phase shift [1]. The nonreciprocal phase shift occurs in transverse-magnetic (TM) modes that travel in magneto-optic waveguides in which magnetization is aligned transverse to the light propagation direction in the film plane. The optical isolator employing the nonreciprocal phase shift is attractive because the device utilizes TM modes only so that there is no need for phase matching. The optical isolator includes an optical interferometer that consists of two coupling devices, a nonreciprocal phase shifter and a reciprocal phase shifter. In Fig. 1, one arm in the optical interferometer has a magnetic garnet cladding layer. When the interferometer has distinct layer structures, the optical isolator can be operated in a unidirectional magnetic field. The optical isolator employing the nonreciprocal phase shift was designed at 1.55 μm. The nonreciprocal phase shifts in the magneto-optic waveguides with a magnetic-garnet/Si/SiO2 structure were calculated. The multimode interference (MMI) coupler and the reciprocal phase shifter were also designed. As a preliminary experiment, deposition of the magnetic garnet crystals were investigated on various substrates.

The phased-array ultrasound transducer types are utilities for medical ultrasonography as well as optical imaging. However, their discontinuity characteristic limits the applications due to the artifacts contaminated into the reconstructed images. Because of the effects of the ultrasound pressure field pattern to the echo ultrasonic waves as well as the optical modulated signal, the side lobes of the focused ultrasound beam induced by discontinuity of the phased-array ultrasound transducer might the reason of the artifacts. In this paper, a simple method in approach of numerical simulation was used to investigate the limitation of discontinuity of the elements in phased-array ultrasound transducer and their effects to the ultrasound pressure field. Take into account the change of ultrasound pressure field patterns in the conditions of variation of the pitches between elements of the phased-array ultrasound transducer, the appropriated parameters for phased-array ultrasound transducer design were asserted quantitatively., {"references":["W.
