- We report single-wavelength 40-Gbit/s soliton transmission over 400-km installed fiber lines in Sweden. Both polarization-division multiplexed and parallel solitons were transmitted. The system performance is dominated by the polarization-mode dispersion.

- Soft x-ray-emission spectroscopy is applied to measure the amount of dynamic symmetry breaking in core-excited acetylene, ethylene, and ethane. Large variations are observed between the molecules and are rationalized in terms of the different C-C bond lengths: Shorter bond lengths give smaller symmetry breaking. The results also indicate that asymmetric modes are important for all the systems studied, in contradiction to previous assumptions in literature.

- 40Gbit/s soliton transmission over 400km (57km amplifier spacing) of installed lines without in-line control has been achieved. The maximum transmission penalties for parallel polarised and polarisation division multiplexed soliton transmission were ∼4 and 1dB, respectively. The transmission distance is the longest ever reported for a field trial with a single wavelength bit rate > 20Gbit/s for any optical transmission format. The polarisation mode dispersion was numerically found to completely dominate the system performance.

- Object. The pathogenesis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt infection is characterized by staphylococcal adhesion to the polymeric surface of the shunt catheter. Proteins from the CSF-fibronectin, vitronectin, and fibrinogen-are adsorbed to the surface of the catheter immediately after insertion. These proteins can interfere with the biological systems of the host and mediate staphylococcal adhesion to the surface of the catheter. In the present study, the presence of fibronectin, vitronectin, and fibrinogen on CSF shunts and temporary ventricular drainage catheters is shown. The presence of fragments of fibrinogen is also examined. Methods. The authors used the following methods: binding radiolabeled antibodies to the catheter surface, immunoblotting of catheter eluates, and scanning force microscopy of immunogold bound to the catheter surface. The immunoblot showed that vitronectin was adsorbed in its native form and that fibronectin was degraded into small fragments. Furthermore, the study demonstrated that the level of vitronectin in CSF increased in patients with an impaired CSF-blood barrier. To study complement activation, an antibody that recognizes the neoepitope of activated complement factor C9 was used. The presence of activated complement factor C9 was shown on both temporary catheters and shunts. Conclusions. Activation of complement close to the surface of an inserted catheter could contribute to the pathogenesis of CSF shunt infection.
