Abstract

The isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) strength distribution in 24Mg has been determined from background-free inelastic scattering of 386-MeV α particles at extreme forward angles, including 0∘. The ISGMR strength distribution has been observed for the first time to have a two-peak structure in a light-mass nucleus. This splitting of ISGMR strength is explained well by microscopic theory in terms of the prolate deformation of the ground state of 24Mg.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess changes in the quality of life and psychological distress of patients with tongue cancer undergoing total/subtotal glossectomy (TG) or extended hemiglossectomy (HG) and free flap transfer. Differences between the two groups were compared using the Short Form 8-Item Health Survey (SF-8) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Of the 43 patients with tongue cancer, 24 (56%) underwent TG and 19 (44%) underwent HG. The general health and social functioning scores in the SF-8 and depression in the HADS were significantly worse in the TG group than in the HG group at 12 months after surgery, indicating that patients in the TG group may experience social isolation and psychological distress, and have difficulty in employability even 12 months after surgery. In contrast, all items of the SF-8 in the HG group were nearly equal to those in the general population. Due to the extensive psychological impact on patients with tongue cancer who are planned for an extended resection, curative surgery with free flap transfer and multidisciplinary psychiatric support are essential to improve quality of life and manage psychological distress.

Abstract

Summary Introduction Now in the global running boom, many people enjoy full-marathon, from top athletes to city runners. To understand glucose fluctuations during full-marathon would be useful to discuss the running performance and exercise intensity. There is a report concerning the continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) of three runners with type 1 diabetes during full-marathon, and that of two elite runners during 100 km running race. However, there are little CGM data of healthy subjects during full-marathon as far as we know. The purpose of this study is to observe glucose fluctuation during full-marathon by CGM with running performance and exercise intensity. Summary of facts and results CGM was performed five times during full-marathon of one same healthy runner and the heart rate and running speed were monitored. Five CGM data during full-marathon were obtained. Three of them showed the flat pattern. One of the left two showed the ascending pattern, in which the glucose level went up to more than 140 mg/dL. The other one showed the descending pattern. The best running performance was observed in the flat pattern. Conclusion CGM is a useful tool for monitoring glucose fluctuation during long distance running. These data would be helpful as a pilot study to understand glucose metabolism and performance during endurance exercises.

Abstract

In 2008, we published the first set of guidelines for standardizing research in autophagy. Since then, this topic has received increasing attention, and many scientists have entered the field. Our knowledge base and relevant new technologies have also been expanding. Thus, it is important to formulate on a regular basis updated guidelines for monitoring autophagy in different organisms. Despite numerous reviews, there continues to be confusion regarding acceptable methods to evaluate autophagy, especially in multicellular eukaryotes. Here, we present a set of guidelines for investigators to select and interpret methods to examine autophagy and related processes, and for reviewers to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of reports that are focused on these processes. These guidelines are not meant to be a dogmatic set of rules, because the appropriateness of any assay largely depends on the question being asked and the system being used. Moreover, no individual assay is perfect for every situation, calling for the use of multiple techniques to properly monitor autophagy in each experimental setting. Finally, several core components of the autophagy machinery have been implicated in distinct autophagic processes (canonical and noncanonical autophagy), implying that genetic approaches to block autophagy should rely on targeting two or more autophagy-related genes that ideally participate in distinct steps of the pathway. Along similar lines, because multiple proteins involved in autophagy also regulate other cellular pathways including apoptosis, not all of them can be used as a specific marker for bona fide autophagic responses. Here, we critically discuss current methods of assessing autophagy and the information they can, or cannot, provide. Our ultimate goal is to encourage intellectual and technical innovation in the field.

Abstract

The isoscalar giant monopole resonance (ISGMR) strength distribution in $^{24}$Mg has been determined from background-free inelastic scattering of 386-MeV $\alpha$ particles at extreme forward angles, including 0$^{\circ}$. The ISGMR strength distribution has been observed for the first time to have a two-peak structure in a light-mass nucleus. This splitting of ISGMR strength is explained well by microscopic theory in terms of the prolate deformation of the ground state of $^{24}$Mg., Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures; to be published in Phys.

Abstract

Epigenetic states can govern the plasticity of a genome to be adaptive to environments where many stress stimuli and insults compromise the homeostatic system with age. While certain elastic power may autonomously reset, reprogram, rejuvenate, or reverse the organismal aging process, enforced genetic manipulations could at least reset and reprogram epigenetic states beyond phenotypic plasticity and elasticity in cells, which can be further manipulated into organisms. The question, however, remains how we can rejuvenate intrinsic resources and infrastructures in an intact/noninvasive manner, particularly in a whole complex aging organism. Given inevitable increase of cancer with age, presumably any failure of resetting, reprogramming, or even rejuvenation could be a prominent causative factor of malignancy. Accompanied by progressive deteriorations of physiological functions in organisms with advancing age, aging-associated cancer risk may essentially arise from unforeseen complications in cellular senescence. At the cellular level, epithelial–mesenchymal plasticity (dynamic and reversible transitions between epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypic states) is enabled by underlying shifts in epigenetic regulation. Thus the epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its reversal (MET) functions as a key of cellular transdifferentiation programs. On the one hand, the EMT–MET process was initially appreciated in developmental biology, but is now attracting increasing attention in oncogenesis and senescence by linking to autophagy and quiescence, because the process is involved in the malignant progression versus regression of cancer. On the other hand, senescence is often considered the antithesis of early development, but yet between these two phenomena, there may be common factors and/or governing mechanisms such as the EMT–MET program, to steer toward rejuvenation of the biological aging system, thereby precisely controlling or avoiding cancer through epigenetic interventions.

Abstract

Multipole strength distributions for isoscalar $L\ensuremath{\le}2$ transitions in $^{28}\mathrm{Si}$ have been extracted using 386-MeV inelastic $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ scattering at extremely forward angles, including ${0}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$. Observed strength distributions are in good agreement with microscopic calculations for an oblate-deformed ground state. In particular, a large peak at an excitation energy of 17.7 MeV in the isoscalar giant monopole resonance strength is consistent with the calculations.

Abstract

Strength distributions for isoscalar giant resonances with multipolarity $L\ensuremath{\le}2$ have been determined in $^{24}\mathrm{Mg}$ from ``instrumental background-free'' inelastic scattering of 386-MeV $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ particles at extreme forward angles, including ${0}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$. The isoscalar $E0, E1$, and $E2$ strengths are observed to be $57\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}7%, 111.{1}_{\ensuremath{-}7.2}^{+10.9}%$, and $148.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}7.3%$, respectively, of their energy-weighted sum rules in the excitation energy range of 6 to 35 MeV. The isoscalar giant monopole (ISGMR) and quadrupole (ISGQR) resonances exhibit a prominent $K$ splitting which is consistent with microscopic theory for a prolate-deformed ground state of $^{24}\mathrm{Mg}$. For the ISGQR it is due to splitting of the three $K$ components, whereas for the ISGMR it is due to its coupling to the $K=0$ component of the ISGQR. Deformation effects on the isoscalar giant dipole resonance are less pronounced, however.

Abstract

Fueling control with a supersonic molecular-beam injection (SMBI) technique is examined in Heliotron J comparing with conventional gas-puffing. The supersonic H2-beam is injected from a fast valve with a conic nozzle and the apparent fueling efficiency is estimated to be about 50–60% for NBI and 20–30% for ECH + NBI discharges with n ¯ e ∼ 1 × 1019 m−3. In a combination heating of ECH and NBI, the stored energy reached ∼4.5 kJ, which is about 50% higher than the maximum one achieved so far under the similar heating condition with conventional gas-puffing in Heliotron J. Although a short pulse of intense gas-puff can also produce a rapid increase of n ¯ e like the SMBI case, the n ¯ e –Wp dependence cannot overcome the saturation in higher density region.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: TREATMEN The contribution of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) to refractory gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) remains unknown. When EoE and GERD overlap, the clinical, endoscopic and histological findings are nonspecific and cannot be used to distinguish between the two disorders. Limited data are available on this topic, and the interaction between EoE and GERD is a matter of debate. AIM: We have conducted a prospective study of adult patients with refractory GERD to evaluate the overlap of reflux and EoE. METHODS: Between July 2006 and June 2008, we consecutively and prospectively enrolled 130 male and female patients aged 18 to 70 years old who experienced persistent heartburn and/or regurgitation more than twice a week over the last 30 days while undergoing at least six consecutive weeks of omeprazole treatment (at least 40 mg once a day). The patients underwent an upper digestive endoscopy with esophageal biopsy, and intraepithelial eosinophils were counted after hematoxylin/eosin staining. The diagnosis of EoE was based on the presence of 20 or more eosinophils per high-power field (eo/HPF) in esophageal biopsies. RESULTS: Among the 103 studied patients, 79 (76.7%) were females. The patients had a mean age of 45.5 years and a median age of 47 years. Endoscopy was normal in 83.5% of patients, and erosive esophagitis was found in 12.6%. Only one patient presented lesions suggestive of EoE. Histological examination revealed >;20 eo/HPF in this patient. CONCLUSION: Our results demonstrated a low prevalence of EoE among patients with refractory GERD undergoing omeprazole treatment.

Abstract

Electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) experiments have been made in Heliotron J by using an upgraded EC launching system. A focused Gaussian beam is injected with the parallel refractive index, N||, ranging from -0.05 to 0.6. Ray tracing calculation shows that the EC power is more localized than that in the previous launching system. In the initial ECCD experiment, the EC injection angle has been successfully scanned as designed. Comparison between perpendicular and oblique launching experiments shows that for standard configuration, the EC current of 1 kA is driven at N� ∼ 0.3 in the Fisch-Boozer direction, and the bootstrap current flows up to 1 kA. A large increase in electron cyclotron emission (ECE) signals has been observed when the EC current was driven. c

Abstract

A microwave reflectometer is developed for electron density profile measurement in Heliotron J. An amplitude modulation (AM) type system is adopted to reduce density fluctuation effects. The carrier frequency ranges from 33 to 56 GHz, and the modulation frequency is 200 MHz. The X-mode is selected as the propagation mode in order to measure a hollow density profile which is typically observed in ECH plasmas. A test-bench examination using an aluminum reflection plate shows that the measured phase shift agrees well with that expected from the change in the plate position. The initial measurement results show that the reconstructed density profile has hollow profile at low density and steep gradient at the edge in ECH plasma. The hollowness is weakened as the averaged density increases (© 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Abstract

Gas fueling by supersonic molecular beam injection (SMBI) is successfully applied to ECH/NBI plasmas in Heliotron J. The stored energy reached ∼4.5 kJ for a heating combination of ECH (∼0.35 MW) and NBI (∼0.6 MW), which is about 50 % higher than the maximum one achieved so far under the conventional gas-puffing in Heliotron J. After an SMBI pulse for ECH+NBI plasma, two different kinds of perturbation in the radiation profile are caused simultaneously in the center and the peripheral regions. For ECH plasma, an SMBI pulse causes increase or decrease of electron temperature, which seems to depend on the target density (© 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Abstract

At first in the beginning it was easy to spread with a diamond mutually and I assumed that the diffusion layer was provided as reaction of diffusion joining and selected Ti. I formed a diffusion couple after having processed pressurization by cold isostatic pressure (CIP) method using plate of Ti and C (graphite) in order to estimate Ti and suitable temperature in the diffusion joining with a diamond, joining time and, by reaction between the solids which I used hot isostatic pressure (HIP) method for, generated TiC and analyzed the generation layer and reactivity and demanded the diffusion coefficient that it was necessary to measure generation speed of Ti/C joining. I did a Ti/diamond with a diffusion couple after having processed pressurization by CIP method plate of Ti and diamond after having made a condition. I spread, and to join clear and joined it by HIP method and evaluated diffusion mechanism and joining strength. As a result of analysis after HIP processing, TiC was generated in Ti and a contact interface of a diamond. Results of the measurement of bonding strength using a tensile test showed that the tensile strength was 165.8 MPa under HIP processing of 973 K and holding time of 10.8 ks.

Abstract

We report our experimental studies on (p, 2p) reactions from two kinds of view points, namely to investigate single particle properties of nuclei and to observe possible modification of NN interactions in nuclear field. Comparison of the cross section data with theoretical predictions and data of (e, e'p) reaction suggests that the reaction mechanizsm at incident energies of around 400 MeV is simple enough to extract spectroscopic information through the (p, 2p) reactions. In addition, some analyzing power data show anomaly which is not seen in cross section data and, therefore, which suggest importance of polarization studies. On the examination of the NN interaction, systematic study on analyzing powers for 1s1/2-proton knockout has been continued. A new systematics, a Q-value dependence the analyzing power was newly observed.

Abstract

Background It is well-known that FK506 strongly inhibits cytokine production by T cells in vitro. However, less evidence is available from in vivo studies of ocular allergy. Objective To study the anti-inflammatory effect of FK506 eye drops on late and delayed-type responses in several animal models of ocular allergy. Methods Rats and guinea-pigs were sensitized with egg albumin (EA) in adjuvant and later challenged by topical EA application to their eyes to examine the late response. Biopsy specimens of conjunctiva were stained with haematoxylin-eosin or stained for T cells and eosinophils. In addition, rats, rabbits and guinea-pigs were sensitized with complete Freund's adjuvant and later challenged by injecting purified protein derivatives for the delayed-type response. Bulbar conjunctival oedema and hyperaemia were graded by score in rabbits, and Evans blue (EB) extravasation was measured in rats and guinea-pigs. FK506 (0.01-1%) and steroid (0.1%) eye drops were instilled in the eyes of animals several times, before and after challenge. Results FK506 eye drops inhibited T cell and eosinophil infiltration in the late response and EB extravasation in the delayed-type response in rats. Also, they inhibited conjunctival oedema, hyperaemia and ocular mucus in the delayed-type response in rabbits. These effects were similar to those of steroid eye drops (betamethasone sodium phosphate, fluorometholone). FK506 eye drops also inhibited inflammatory cell infiltration, the loss of conjunctival epithelium and decrease of goblet cells in the late response as well as EB extravasation in the delayed-type response in guineapigs, a steroid-resistant species. Conclusion FK506 eye drops inhibit late and delayed-type responses in animal models of ocular allergy.

Abstract

The KEK to Kamioka long-baseline neutrino experiment (K2K) has begun its investigation of neutrino oscillations suggested by atmospheric neutrino observations. Twenty-eight neutrino events have been detected in coincidence with the expected arrival time of the beam in the 22.5 kt fiducial volume of Super--Kamiokande, the far detector at 250 km distance. The expectation is 37.8+3.5-3.8, derived using measurements of neutrino interactions in a near detector and extrapolation using a beam simulation validated by a measurement of pion kinematics after production and focusing.

Abstract

Isoscalar giant resonances and low spin states in $^{32}$S have been measured with inelastic $\alpha$ scattering at extremely forward angles including zero degrees at E$_{\alpha}$ = 386 MeV. By applying the multipole decomposition analysis, various excited states are classified according to their spin and parities (J$^{\pi}$), and are discussed in relation to the super deformed and $^{28}$Si + $\alpha$ cluster bands.

Abstract

For the purpose of estimating land surface fluxes over a large area, use of remote sensing techniques is and will be essential. Particularly, “ in situ ” collection of ground truth data has been a very important task for the development of satellite oriented “ algorithms ”. In this study, we observed “a patch scale” visible and near infrared spectral reflectance, which is obtainable from satellites, and land surface fluxes during and post-growing season at grassland and paddy field: Seasonal trends at grassland and at paddy field were quite different, because of the differences in water as well as growing environment. A good direct correlation was found between vegetation index (NDVI) and surface resistance during the growing season at grassland. A similar result was confirmed between NDVI and surface resistance at paddy field.

Abstract

A single-chip 1.25-Gb/s 32:1, 1:32 transceiver, as specified in the emerging American National Standards Institute fiber channel standard, has been developed using 0.25-/spl mu/m CMOS technology. Newly developed features contributing to the achievement of 4.25-Gb/s operations include: 1) an asynchronous tree-type 1:8 demultiplexer, 2) an 8-10 bit parallel-to-parallel frequency conversion circuit, and 3) comma detection and word alignment logic. The transceiver consumes 600 mW in 4.25-Gb/s operations with a 2.5 V supply. This design helps achieve higher speed operations and only half the power dissipation of the fastest previously reported CMOS fiber channel design that includes an 8B10B encoder and a 10B8B decoder.

Abstract

The Cretaceous Abukuma metamorphic terrane consists of the oceanic Gosaisyo Series overthrust onto the terrigenous Takanuki Series. Although the dominant mineralogy defines one of the classic areas of andalusite–sillimanite type progressive metamorphism, there are several lines of evidence suggesting an earlier higher-pressure (up to c. 12 kbar) history of the Takanuki Series and the nearby Gosaisyo Series. These are: (1) the occurrence of rare although widespread relic kyanite in sillimanite+K-feldspar zone-grade pelitic rocks; (2) the high grossular content of garnet interiors (up to c. 30 mol %) overgrown by Ca-poor rims (c. 2 mol % grossular) in pelitic rocks containing Al2SiO5 minerals (sillimanite±relic kyanite±retrograde andalusite), plagioclase and quartz; (3) the occurrence of rutile as inclusions in garnet in pelitic rocks; and (4) the occurrence of relic corundum+almandine association in silica-poor and Al–Fe-rich rocks. Garnet in the Takanuki Series pelitic rocks commonly shows textural sector zoning and preserves growth zoning despite the high metamorphic grade, suggesting rapid changes in P–T conditions and a relatively short duration of high-temperature conditions. Combined with radiometric dating, these observations suggest that the Abukuma sillimanite+K-feldspar zone-grade rocks underwent a clockwise P–T path with very fast (>4 mm y−1) average burial and exhumation rates.

Abstract

Main part of the Huaihe River Basin, China, is an extensive flat plain between Yellow River and Yangzi River and there exists a steep climatological gradient from wet southeast to dry northwest region. The divide between paddy field zone and cropland runs through the basin. These characteristics facilitate the verification of satellite remote sensing to extract hydrological information. Runoff, precipitation and pan evaporation data in the several sub-basins are used to calculate water balance in each sub-basin. Annual runoff(Q), pan evaporation(Epan) and water loss(P-Q) are plotted against the annual average precipitation(P). Average annual evaporation(Ea) as expressed by annual water loss(P-Q) shows relatively small variations among years except northwestern part of the Huaihe Basin, and it ranges from 600 mm/year in northwestern part to 800 mm/year in southeastern part of the basin. Steady Ea suggests that there is enough water to evaporate under the given climatological conditions. Annual precipitation decreases from southeast to northwest. In the northwestern sub-basin(DW), Ea decreases with decreasing P when P falls less than steady Ea. It means that evaporation is suppressed by water deficit. This suppression should be detectable by the satellite remote sensing. Multi-temporal NOAA/AVHRR GAC datasets are used to estimate surface moisture status by combining surface temperature(Ts) and vegetation index(VI). Modified soil adjusted vegetation index(MSAVI) is used as VI for this study to minimize the soil background effect. Eighty scenes of GAC from DOY(Day of the Year) 198 to DOY 277 in 1990 are used to extract the slope values in Ts/VI relationship. The time series of the slope values correspond well to that of antecedent precipitation index(API). The spatial distribution patterns of the slope values are also consistent with those of the API. Although API is not a proper indicator of surface wetness, the results indicate the usefulness of the Ts/VIs relationship to estimate surface moisture status over extensive area.

Abstract

In order to determine in what condition and by what mechanism gp 120 can deplete not only CD4 but also CD8 T cells, an in vitro system was established in which peripheral blood lymphocytes from healthy donors were treated with recombinant gp 120. We found that gp 120 can deplete both CD4 and CD8 T cells when they have recently been activated and are exposed to IL-2-deficient conditions. Bioassay of the Fas ligand (FasL) demonstrated augmented expression and release of soluble FasL by CD4 T cells in the supernatant of this culture. The administration of anti-FasL mAb and anti-Fas mAb, both of which exhibit neutralizing activity, completely abolished the depletion of these two T cell populations in culture. Based on these findings, we concluded that FasL depletes Fas antigen expressing CD4 and CD8 T cells by programmed cell death.

Abstract

This study investigated the role of H1 and H2 receptors in anxiety and the retrieval of emotional memory using a Trial 1/Trial 2 (T1/T2) protocol in an elevated plus-maze (EPM). Tests were performed on 2 consecutive days, designated T1 and T2. Before T1, the mice received intraperitoneal injections of saline (SAL), 20 mg/kg zolantidine (ZOL, an H2 receptor antagonist), or 8.0 or 16 mg/kg chlorpheniramine (CPA, an H1 receptor antagonist). After 40 min, they were subjected to the EPM test. In T2 (24 h later), each group was subdivided into two additional groups, and the animals from each group were re-injected with SAL or one of the drugs. In T1, the Student t-test showed no difference between the SAL and ZOL or 8 mg/kg CPA groups with respect to the percentages of open arm entries (%OAE) and open arm time (%OAT). However, administration of CPA at the highest dose of 16 mg/kg decreased %OAE and %OAT, but not locomotor activity, indicating anxiogenic-like behavior. Emotional memory, as revealed by a reduction in open arm exploration between the two trials, was observed in all experimental groups, indicating that ZOL and 8 mg/kg CPA did not affect emotional memory, whereas CPA at the highest dose affected acquisition and consolidation, but not retrieval of memory. Taken together, these results suggest that H1 receptor, but not H2, is implicated in anxiety-like behavior and in emotional memory acquisition and consolidation deficits in mice subjected to EPM testing.

Abstract

The ${}^{12}$C excitation energy spectra populated in both proton and $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-particle inelastic scattering measurements are examined. The data indicate the existence of a 2${}^{+}$ state at ${E}_{x}=9.75$(0.15) MeV with a width of 750(150) keV. It is believed that this state corresponds to the 2${}^{+}$ excitation of the 7.65 MeV, 0${}^{+}$, Hoyle state, which acts as the main path by which carbon is synthesized in stars. A simultaneous $R$-matrix analysis of the two sets of data indicates that the 2${}^{+}$ state possesses a very large $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-reduced width, approaching the Wigner limit. This would indicate that the state is associated with a highly clustered structure. The potential geometric arrangements of the clusters is discussed.

Abstract

For the development of gas sensors applied to organic gas detection, the preparation of sample gases containing organic vapors with controlled concentrations is sometime necessary in accurately evaluating the gas sensor properties. In this study, using a diffusion method where liquid samples were heated and vaporized under a carrier gas flow, we prepared standard sample gases containing 2,6-diisopropylphenol (propofol), which are breath markers for diabetes and anesthesia depth, respectively. We used a NASICON (Na3Zr2Si2PO12; Na conductor)-based CO2 sensor combined with a Pt/Al2O3 combustion catalyst to prepare propofol gases with known concentrations. We demonstrated that the prepared propofol gases with constant concentrations were effectively detected by Au loaded-TiO2 nanotube sensors.

Abstract

Various models and strategies to promote meaningful social interactions between children with and without severe disabilities have been reported in the special education literature. The reported outcomes associated with these efforts include positive effects on children's attitudes toward disabilities, social competence, and social values (e.g., fairness and community caring). This is an investigation of what teenagers report and remember as a function of elementary school experiences involving different levels of social contact with peers with severe disabilities. Two self-report interpersonal measures were administered to 183 students without disabilities comprising social contact, exposure, and control groups. A subsample of 93 teenagers was interviewed about experiences and attitudes toward persons with disabilities and their memories from earlier school experiences. Analysis of the attitudinal data revealed significantly more positive attitudes, higher levels of current reported social contact, and more support for full community participation as a function of earlier social contact—although all children were relatively positive. The self-concept measure also revealed differences between subgroups of children as a function of gender and condition. The interview data with children in the high social contact group offer caveats for future inclusion efforts to avoid potential negative effects upon children's personal relationships and social attitudes. Suggestions are made for future research to investigate the impact of inclusion on children's socio-personal development and social relationships.

Abstract

Inelastic scattering from ${}^{12}$C has been measured at extremely forward angles including 0 ${}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ using 386 MeV $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ particles to study the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-cluster states around ${E}_{x}$ $\ensuremath{\sim}$ 10 MeV, especially the 2${}^{+}$ state predicted by the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-cluster model. We have analyzed ($\ensuremath{\alpha}$,${\ensuremath{\alpha}}^{\ensuremath{'}}$) cross-section data using both peak-fitting and multipole decomposition techniques. A 2${}^{+}$ state at ${E}_{x}=$ 9.84 $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}$ 0.06 MeV with a width of 1.01 $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}$ 0.15 MeV is found to be submerged in the broad 0${}^{+}$ state at ${E}_{x}=$ 9.93 $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}$ 0.03 MeV with a width of 2.71 $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}$ 0.08 MeV. This 2${}^{+}$ state may be interpreted as the 2${}^{+}$ excitation of the Hoyle state and the $\ensuremath{\alpha}$-condensate state.

Abstract

Dysplasia and esophageal adenocarcinoma may arise in patients with Barrett's esophagus after fundoplication esophageal pH monitoring showing no acid in esophagus. This suggests the need to develop methodology to evaluate the occurrence of ultra-distal reflux (1cm above the LES). The objective of the study was to compare acid exposition in three different levels: 5cm above the upper border of the LES, 1cm above the LES and in the intrasphincteric region. Eleven patients with Barrett's esophagus after Nissen fundoplication with no clinical, endoscopic and radiologic evidence of reflux were selected. Four-channel pH monitoring took place: channel A, 5cm above the upper border of the LES; channel B, 1cm above the LES; channel C, intrasphincteric; channel D, intragastric. The results of channels A, B and C were compared. There was significant increase in number of reflux episodes and a higher fraction of time with pH4.0 in channel B compared to channel A. There was significant decrease in fraction of time with pH4.0 in channel B compared to channel C. Two cases of esophageal adenocarcinoma were diagnosed in the studied patients. The region 1cm above the upper border of the LES is more exposed to acid than the region 5cm above the upper border of the LES, although this exposure occurred in reduced levels. The region 1cm above the upper border of the LES is less exposed to acid than the intrasphincteric region.

Abstract

A large Japanese family in which some members were homozygous or heterozygous for OKT4 epitope deficiency was studied. Homozygotes, heterozygotes, and normal individuals were identified by differences in the number of OKT4 epitopes on the surfaces of lymphocytes. This deficiency was transmitted as an autosomal codominant trait. The internalization of CD4 molecules and the production of IL-2 by lymphocytes of these subjects were examined. The OKT4 epitope was not needed for internalization of CD4 molecules, and IL-2 was produced in the same amounts by these different kinds of subjects. DNA from four clones lacking OKT4 established from four individuals of this family was sequenced. As reported elsewhere for different subjects, a single nucleotide substitution (CGG-->TGG) was found in all four cell lines. The mutation results in arginine being replaced by tryptophan. Analysis showed different hydrophobicity at positions 239 and 240 from the control, probably giving rise to a conformational change in CD4 accounting for lack of reactivity with the OKT4 monoclonal antibody. The incidence of homozygotes in the Japanese population was found to be 0.47% by examination of 1478 random samples, and on the basis of this value, the incidence of heterozygotes was estimated to be 12.8%.

Abstract

The cross sections and analyzing powers for the $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$($\mathrm{pP\vec},2p$) reaction were measured. The strength distributions for the deep-hole states were obtained by a multipole decomposition analysis. The centroid energies and widths of the hole-state strengths of the $1p$ and $1{s}_{1/2}$ orbitals in $^{40}\mathrm{Ca}$ were determined. The spectroscopic factors for the deeply bound $1p$ and $1{s}_{1/2}$ orbitals were extracted as $49\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}10%$ and $78\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}14%$ of the sum-rule limits of the independent-particle shell model, respectively. A strong influence of the nucleon-nucleon correlations on the spectroscopic factors is suggested.

Abstract

The excitation and subsequent proton decay of the isoscalar giant dipole resonance (ISGDR) in $^{208}$Pb have been investigated via the $^{208}$Pb($\alpha, \alpha^{\prime}p)^{207}$Tl reaction at 400 MeV. Excitation of the ISGDR has been identified by the difference-of-spectra method. The enhancement of the ISGDR strength at high excitation energies observed in the multipole-decomposition-analysis of the singles $^{208}$Pb($\alpha,\alpha^{\prime}$) spectra is not present in the excitation energy spectrum obtained in coincidence measurement. The partial branching ratios for direct proton decay of ISGDR to low-lying states of $^{207}$Tl have been determined and the results are compared with predictions of continuum random-phase-approximation (CRPA) calculations., Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures; accepted for publication in Physics Letters B
