- The CPT-violation parameters Re(δ) and Im(δ) determined recently by CPLEAR are used to evaluate the K0– mass and decay-width differences, as given by the difference between the diagonal elements of the neutral-kaon mixing matrix (M−iΓ/2). The results – GeV and GeV – are consistent with CPT invariance. The CPT invariance is also shown to hold within a few times 10−3–10−4 for many of the amplitudes describing neutral-kaon decays to different final states.

- Background—The use of corticosteroids in active Crohn’s disease often becomes limited by side effects. Budesonide is a potent corticosteroid with low systemic bioavailability due to an extensive first pass liver metabolism.Aims—To compare the efficacy and safety of two dosage regimens of budesonide and prednisolone in patients with active Crohn’s disease affecting the ileum and/or the ascending colon.Patients and methods—One hundred and seventy eight patients were randomised to receive budesonide controlled ileal release (CIR) capsules 9 mg once daily or 4.5 mg twice daily, or prednisolone tablets 40 mg once daily. The treatment period was 12 weeks. The primary efficacy variable was clinical remission, defined as a Crohn’s Disease Activity Index (CDAI) of 150 or less.Results—After eight weeks of treatment, remission occurred in 60% of patients receiving budesonide once daily or prednisolone and in 42% of those receiving budesonide twice daily (p=0.062). The presence of glucocorticoid associated side effects was similar in all groups; however, moon face was more common in the prednisolone group (p=0.0005). The highest frequency of impaired adrenal function, as measured by a short ACTH test, was found in the prednisolone group (p=0.0023).Conclusions—Budesonide CIR, administered at 9 mg once daily or 4.5 mg twice daily, is comparable to prednisolone in inducing remission in active Crohn’s disease. The single dose administration is as promptly effective as prednisolone and represents a simpler and safer therapeutic approach, with a considerable reduction in side effects.

- A method to study single-molecule reactions confined in a biomimetic container is described. The technique combines rapid vesicle preparation, optical trapping and fluorescence confocal microscopy for performing simultaneous single-vesicle trapping and single-molecule detection experiments. The collisional environment between a single enzyme and substrate inside a vesicle is characterized by a Brownian dynamics Monte Carlo simulation. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

- LEAR offered unique opportunities to study the symmetries which exist between matter and antimatter. At variance with other approaches at this facility, CPLEAR was an experiment devoted to the study of CP, T and CPT symmetries in the neutral-kaon system. A variety of measurements allowed us to determine with high precision the parameters which describe the time evolution of the neutral kaons and their antiparticles, including decay amplitudes, and the related symmetry properties. Limits concerning quantum-mechanical predictions (EPR, coherence of the wave function) or the equivalence principle of general relativity have been obtained. An account of the main features of the experiment and its performances is given here, together with the results achieved.

- A chemiluminescent microformat enzyme linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA) has been optimized for the simultaneous determination of multiple 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) samples. The competitive immunoassay employed a 2,4-D-BSA conjugate, anti-2,4-D monoclonal antibodies and alkaline phosphatase (AP) labelled anti-mouse IgG. The bound AP conjugate was determined by quantitating the chemiluminescence emission from the enzymatic decomposition of the luminogenic substrate, CSPD, by AP using a cooled charge coupled device (CCD) camera. The detection limit for the simultaneous determination of multiple samples was 4.3x10-10 M corresponding to 96 pg ml-1 or 192 fg well with a coefficient of variation (CV, %) of 12.5%. The linear range of the assay was 4.5 x 10-7-4.5 x 10-10 M. The ability of gold coated silicon wafers and glass capillaries to serve as solid phase supports in the imaging ELISA was investigated. The highly reflective gold surfaces improved both the linear range and the sensitivity of the assay, as compared to thick-film patterned surfaces. The capillary supports, on the other hand, lead to a reduction in the linear range and the sensitivity of the assay, as compared to the thick-film patterned surfaces. Initial studies indicate that the capillaries guide the light and may provide a built-in mechanism for collecting the emitted light. Strategies for further development of support materials for imaging-based detectors will be discussed.
