Dissociation of deuterium-defect complexes in ion-implanted epitaxial 4H-SiC
- 1998

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Epitaxial layers of low doped 4H-SiC are implanted with 20 keV 2H+ ions to a dose of 1×1015 cm-2. The samples are subsequently annealed at temperatures ranging from 1040 to 1135 °C. Secondary ion mass spectrometry is used to obtain the concentration versus depth profiles of the atomic deuterium in the samples. It is found that the concentration of implanted deuterium decreases rapidly in the samples as a function of anneal time. The experimental data are explained by a model where the deuterium migrates rapidly and becomes trapped and de-trapped at implantation-induced defects which exhibit a slightly shallower depth distribution than the implanted deuterium ions. Computer simulations using this model, in which the damage profile is taken from Monte Carlo simulations and the surface is treated as a perfect sink for the diffusing deuterium atoms, are performed with good results compared to the experimental data. The complexes are tentatively identified as carbon-deuterium at a Si-vacancy and a dissociation energy (ED) of approximately 4.9 eV is extracted for the deuterium-vacancy complexes.

Acromegaly and Cushing's syndrome due to ectopic production of GHRH and ACTH by a thymic carcinoid tumour: in vitro responses to GHRH and GHRP-6.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A 50-year-old male presented with diabetes mellitus and Cushing's syndrome associated with a large mediastinal mass. The levels of serum cortisol were high (1500-1800 nmol/l) without diurnal variation. Plasma ACTH levels (200-250 ng/l) and urinary excretion of cortisol were also increased. The levels of these hormones did not change in response to stimulation with corticotrophin releasing hormone (CRH) or suppression with high doses of dexamethasone. The patient had an elevated baseline GH level (7.3 mU/l), and the levels of immunoreactive GH-releasing hormone (GHRH) in eight plasma samples were markedly increased (600-1500 ng/l). Circulating levels of IGF-1, chromogranin A and neuropeptide Y (NPY) were also increased. Computer-assisted tomography and octreotide scintigraphy revealed a large mediastinal tumour and metastases in the left supraclavicular fossa. During treatment with octreotide, the baseline GH level was decreased (to 4.4 mU/l), while the GH pulse height was unchanged. Surgical removal of most of the tumour tissue resulted in a further decrease in the baseline serum GH level to a value (1.6 mU/l) about 20% of that before treatment, while the pulse height and mean GH were affected to a lesser extent. Postoperatively, circulating levels of cortisol and IGF-1 decreased, and the patient exhibited clinical improvement. Histological examination showed a neuroendocrine tumour with characteristics consistent with a foregut carcinoid of thymic origin. Immunoreactive GHRH, ACTH and NPY, but not immunoreactive GH, were detected in 80-90% of the tumour cells and the three peptides appeared to be co-localized. In primary culture, cells from this tumour displayed calcium influx in response to GHRH or GH releasing peptide-6 (GHRP-6), while there were not such responses by cells from another carcinoid not producing GHRH, ACTH or NPY. These results demonstrate a rare case of ectopic production of GHRH, ACTH and NPY, and indicate that the tumour cells were responsive to GHRH and GHRP-6 as well as octreotide.

Molecular cloning and characterization of the mouse carboxyl ester lipase gene and evidence for expression in the lactating mammary gland.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- DNA hybridization was used to isolate a 2.04-kb cDNA encoding carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) from a mouse lactating mammary gland, lambda gt10 cDNA library. The cDNA sequence translated into a protein of 599 amino acids, including 20 amino acids of a putative signal peptide. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of the mouse CEL with CEL from five other species revealed that there is a high degree of homology between the different species. The mouse CEL gene was also isolated and found to span approximately 7.2 kb and to include 11 exons. This organization is similar to those of the recently reported human and rat CEL genes. We have also analyzed expression of the CEL gene in the mammary glands from other species by performing a Northern blot analysis with RNA from goat and cow. The results show that the gene is expressed in both species.

Deuterium incorporation in acceptor doped epitaxial layers of 6H-SiC

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Deuterium is introduced in boron doped epitaxial layers of 6H-SiC by implantation of 30 keV H-2(+) ions in order to form a diffusion source. The samples were subsequently annealed in vacuum at 700 degrees C/16h, 800 degrees C/4h and 900 degrees C/4h. Using depth profiling by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), the distributions of deuterium at different levels of boron doping are studied. The deuterium concentration correlates with the boron concentration and at a level of similar to 10(18) cm(-3) a ratio H-2/B-11 larger than 0.5 is obtained. From capacitance-voltage (CV) measurements a decrease in the electrical carrier concentration by 50% is revealed after deuterium diffusion at 800 degrees C/4h. At 900 degrees C passivation of the boron accepters ceases but the H-2 atoms are still confined to the boron-doped regions and display no long range migration.

- Deuterium and lithium were introduced in p-type SiC by implantation of 20 keV H-2(+) or 30 keV Li-7(+) ions in order to form a diffusion source. The samples were subsequently annealed in vacuum in the temperature range 400-700 degrees C for 0.25 to 16 h. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was used to measure the deuterium and the lithium distribution after heat treatments. Both deuterium and lithium readily decorate the bombardment-induced defects in the vicinity of the ion implantation profile and they are also trapped, most likely by residual boron impurities, during diffusion into the bulk. An effective diffusion coefficient, reflecting the dissociation of trapped lithium, with an activation energy of 2.1 eV is extracted for lithium diffusion in p-type 6H SIG. Furthermore, a capture radius for trapping (most likely by boron) of deuterium is estimated as 10 Angstrom. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Incidence of falls in three different types of geriatric care : A Swedish prospective study
- 1997

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The incidence and consequences of falls were investigated in three different types of Swedish geriatric care clinics: a geriatric rehabilitation clinic, a psychogeriatric clinic and a nursing home. Falls were prospectively registered by the nursing staff. The incidence rate (and 95% confidence interval) of falls per 10,000 patient days of the psychogeriatric clinic was 171 (146-196), compared with 92 (72-112) at the geriatric rehabilitation clinic, and 31 (22-41) at the nursing home. Most falls (62%) did not result in injury, while major injuries occurred in 5%. We conclude that accidental falls are a major problem in geriatric care in Sweden, but there is a considerable difference in incidence rates between different types of institutions

Quantitative study of neurofilament-positive fiber length in rat spinal cord lesions using isotropic virtual planes
- 1998

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Spontaneous reocurrence of neurofilament (NF)-positive fibers has been described after spinal cord lesions in rats. However, previously introduced methods to evaluate the lesion and the regenerative fiber outgrowth suffer from several biases, why a new concept of quantitative, morphological analysis after spinal cord injury is needed. Length quantification of the putatively spontaneously regenerating fibers has been difficult until recently, when two length estimators based on sampling with isotropic virtual planes within thick physical sections were introduced. The applicability of these techniques to estimate the total length of NF-positive fibers was evaluated in photochemically induced ischemic lesions of thoracic spinal cords in young rats 6 weeks postlesion. Fiber length was found to be the most consistent measure with a mean of 3.71 m (coefficient of variation, CV = 0.16) in the 0.90 mm3 (CV = 0.26) large lesions. Whether or not the NF-positive fibers observed inside the lesion represent spontaneously regenerating axons needs to be confirmed in longitudinal, functional, and ultrastructural studies.
