Abstract

Childhood anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) accounts for approx. 10-30% of cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and the ALCL99 study reported 60-75 disease-free survival; however, a relatively high relapse rate was observed (25-30% ). We report 2 patients with Stage III ALCL who relapsed 6-18 months after the end of ALCL99 chemotherapy. A retrospective molecular analysis identified the nucleophosmin (NPM)-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion gene in the first diagnostic bone marrow samples taken from both patients. However, antibodies against the ALK protein appeared to be relatively low in the serum of both patients (×100 and ×750). An increase in chemotherapy intensity may be beneficial if Stage III ALCL patients are shown to be NPM-ALK chimera-positive in the first diagnostic bone marrow sample.

Abstract

The treatment of patients with congenital leukemia is difficult and often results in a poor prognosis. We present here the case of a female child with congenital acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t(8 ; 16) (p11 ; p13) who received chemotherapy and survived for more than 10 years without relapse. A novel MOZ-CBP chimera was found in her diagnostic sample. Although adult AML patients with MOZ-CBP have mainly been reported as having therapy-related AML and showed poor prognoses, the present case supports the idea that AML with MOZ-CBP in the pediatric population might show better prognoses.

20. The distribution of the stress intensity factor along the front of the growing crack in an optical glass fiber

Subjects

Abstract

The stress intensity factor K(sub I) along the front edge of a growing small crack in a silica optical fiber was evaluated by 3-D boundary element analysis based on the crack geometry observed during the delayed fracture test. The variation of K(sub I) was shown to be little along the front of the growing crack. The crack velocity in the direction normal to the crack front was able to be expressed as a power function of K(sub I) at each position on the crack front. The crack velocity was also shown to be larger at a position closer to the fiber surface for each value of K(sub I).

26. Psychogenic vomiting: the relation between patterns of vomiting and psychiatric diagnoses

Abstract

Vomiting, or the forceful expulsion of gastric contents through the mouth, is most often an effort by the body to rid itself of toxic materials, or an indication of intestinal blockage. In some cases, patients vomit in the absence of any physical cause; this phenomenon is known as psychogenic vomiting. It has been suggested that there may be a relation between the pattern of psychogenic vomiting and the underlying psychiatric disorder. To investigate this possibility, 59 patients (41 women and 19 men; average age 28 years) who were admitted to a psychiatric clinic for psychogenic vomiting were classified according to the pattern of vomiting, and underwent a psychiatric diagnosis to determine existing psychopathology. Five distinct patterns of vomiting could be distinguished: continuous, habitual postprandial (following meals), irregular, nausea-induced and self-induced. In patients with continuous vomiting, which was observed in 22 of the 59 cases, the psychiatric diagnosis in 91 percent of the cases was conversion disorder (a type of hysterical neurosis manifesting itself as an apparent bodily dysfunction). Conversely, 65 percent of the patients with conversion disorders exhibited continuous vomiting. In patients with habitual postprandial and irregular vomiting, the most common psychiatric diagnosis was major depression. Of the patients with postprandial vomiting, which was usually associated with weight loss, major depression was seen in 64 percent of the cases; the remainder exhibited conversion disorders. In other types of vomiting, patients tended to exhibit one of these disorders, or in a number of cases, simply generalized anxiety. Frequently, the pattern of vomiting, the psychiatric profile, or both changed during the course of clinical treatment. (Consumer Summary produced by Reliance Medical Information, Inc.)

29. Characteristics of benzo(a)pyrene in highway runoff pollution

Abstract

The influence on receiving water of highway runoff is considered to be serious in Japan. On the road surface, tire wear, automobile exhaust emissions, floating in the atmosphere and so on, accumulate on the road surface and in its lateral ditches. This polluted matter is discharged by stormwater into the receiving water. These accumulated pollution loads contain harmful materials to both the human body and the ecosystem. In this study, the amount of accumulated pollutants and highway runoff pollutants were investigated by the authors. In order to grasp the characteristics of benzo(a)pyrene in highway runoff pollution, we calculated the concentration of benzo(a)pyrene using design rainfall. In order to evaluate the influence of the public water bodies by inflow of benzo(a)pyrene, predicted no effect concentration (PNEC) was used as the indicator in this research. PNEC of benzo(a)pyrene is 0.005 \302\265g/L. The maximum concentration of runoff water (Cmax) and total of the product of concentration and outflow time (ΣCT) are exceeding PNEC. Cmax and ΣCT of central peak design rainfall are the highest in the design rainfalls. In the case of central peak design rainfall, the influence on receiving water of highway runoff is the highest.

36. A method to evaluating local elasticity and adhesion energy from the nonlinear response of AFM cantilever vibrations

Abstract

The resonance frequency of a micro-cantilever employed in atomic force microscopy (AFM) is expected to be a measure of tip-sample contact stiffness representing the elastic properties of a sample. Quantitative evaluation of the elastic properties from measurements of resonance frequency is difficult, however, because contact stiffness is influenced by adhesion energy as well as elastic properties. In this study, we propose a new method of evaluating these properties quantitatively from the nonlinear response of AFM cantilever vibrations. The nonlinear vibrations are easily excited due to the non-linearity in the tip-sample interaction. To simplify the formulas derived for evaluation of contact stiffness and adhesion, we focus on the case of perfect contact, where the tip is always in contact with the sample surface. The elastic properties and the adhesion energy are separated by finding the optimal set of values which minimizes the difference between the theoretical and experimental relationship of resonance frequency versus amplitude.
