- In high performance liquid affinity chromatography (HPLAC), the biospecificity of affinity chromatography is combined with the robust support materials of HPLC. HPLAC can provide specificity, speed and high resolution in chromatography both on analytical and preparative scales. The number of commercially available HPLAC matrices is an indicator of the growing use of the technique.

- Counterparts to two vasoactive peptides previously isolated from fibrin(ogen) degraded by plasmin (EC 3.4.21.7) were synthesized by the solid phase procedure. The synthetic undecapeptide (Ser-Gln-Leu-Gln-Lys-Val-Pro-Pro-Glu-Trp-Lys) was isolated in a homogeneous state by chromatography on Sephadex G-25 and DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B and the pentapeptide (Ala-Arg-Pro-Ala-Lys) by chromatography on BioGel P-6 and column zone electrophoresis. The effect of these two peptides and of fifteen analogs to the pentapeptide on microvascular permeability in rat skin was investigated. The two synthetic counterparts were as potent as the natural peptides. With respect to the analogs, the influence of different functional groups was first studied. This was followed by attempts to minimize the active structure, induce or relieve rigidity of the peptide back-bone or otherwise accomplish modifications by a change in chirality at critical positions. Our results show that the tetrapeptide Arg-Pro-Ala-Lys has the same effect on microvascular permeability as the pentapeptide in the assay system used. Basic amino acids at both ends, as well as a proline residue adjacent to the N-terminal amino acid appear important for full or essentially full activity. On the other hand, substitution of the Ala at position 4 with several other amino acids did not result in a significant loss in biological potency.

- Delayed proton and gamma emissions following the β-decay of 32Ar have been studied. The half-life of 32Ar is 98 ± 2 ms, and the T = 2 analogue state in 32Cl lies at the excitation energy 5036 ± 12 keV. From the intensity of the feeding to this state the proton intensities can be converted to an absolute scale leading to a total proton branching ratio of (43 ± 3)%. From proton-gamma coincidence measurements it emerges that (1.9 ± 0.2)% of the protons lead to the first-excited state in 31S. A level scheme up to 8.75 MeV excitation in 32Cl has been constructed and the Gamow-Teller strength function has been deduced. The result is a renormalization of the axial-vector strength to (49 ± 5)% of the free-nucleon value.

- Separation of feed mixtures and its effect on the production traits of growing-finishing pigs was studied in three experiments. In Experiments I and II the effects of different types of equipment to prevent separation in a silo were studied. Experiment III dealt with separation along a feed transport chain. Experiments I and II clearly demonstrated an increase in feed quality variation by filling a silo without any arrangement to reduce separation. The last feed to be extracted from a silo filled in this manner showed an increasing amount of small particles and contents of crude fibre and ash, a decrease in the bulk density and also in the digestibility of nutrients and in the performance of the pigs. Filling a silo equipped with chutes by an auger or pneumatically through a cyclone did not create separation problems, and consequently there were no differences between these treatments in the production experiments. Separation measured by particle size, bulk density or chemical composition was not noticeable along the feed transport chain (Experiment III). There was no effect on performance of the pigs of their location along the chain. © 1982.

- Snuff lesions were induced in 30 rats. Ten of the snuff-exposed rats were killed immediately after 13 months snuff exposure, as were the 10 control animals. Ten rats were killed 1 month and 10 rats 4 months after the snuff administration had ceased. The rats exposed to snuff for 13 months exhibited hyperplastic, hyperorthokeratotic epithelium with focal mild atypia, focal ulcerations and marked subepithelial fibrosis. These changes were markedly reduced or absent in rats exposed to snuff and killed after a snuff-free interval of 1 or 4 months. Similar differences between the test-groups were seen in the epithelium lining the gingival sulcus of the lower incisors. This area seems to be more sensitive to chemical exposure than the oral mucosa proper as more severe microscopical changes were seen here. Snuff exposure results in the development of a hyperplastic, reactive, reversible lesion of the oral mucosa, suggesting that snuff predominantly has promoting activity when administered for a relatively short interval of time.

- A canal in the lower lip to function as a reservoir for snuff was surgically created in 150 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were randomized into five groups of 30 each: Group I received snuff twice a day, 5 days a wk; Group II was painted with propylene glycol (solvent control) on the hard palate 3 times a wk during 4 wk; Group III underwent painting on the hard palate with 4-nitroquinoline N-oxide (4-NQO) dissolved in propylene glycol, 3 times a wk for 4 wk; Group IV received 4-NQO as in Group III followed by snuff application as in Group I; and Group V received a cotton pellet dipped in saline twice a day, 5 days a wk. Treatment continued for up to 108 wk. There was no significant difference in mean survival time between the groups. Squamous cell tumors of the lip, oral and nasal cavities, esophagus, and forestomach were seen only in Groups I, III, and IV. Nine tumors of these organs were found in Group I (six carcinomas and three papillomas), nine in Group III (seven carcinomas and two papillomas), and ten in Group IV (eight carcinomas and two papillomas). The difference between each of these groups and the control groups (II and V) with regard to tumor incidence is statistically significant (P less than 0.05). In Group I, four oral cavity or lip carcinomas were found in 29 rats, a significant difference in relation to control rats (P less than 0.05). In addition, hyperplastic lesions of the lip, palate, and forestomach were significantly more common in Groups I and IV compared with Groups II, III, and V. The study has shown that snuff and 4-NQO by themselves have the potential to induce malignant tumors. Initiation with 4-NQO followed by snuff did not significantly enhance tumor formation.

- Angle resolved UV photoemission spectra obtained from Cu(111)-(√3 × √3)R30° Xe and Cu(111)-(√3 × √3)R30° CO samples are compared with spectra obtained from the clean substrate. Interest is focussed on the adsorbate induced changes in the Cu3d band range of initial energies. From the similarity between the spectra observed for the ordered Xe and CO overlayers we conclude that the changes are primarily due to diffraction of the photoexcited Cu3d electrons by the adsorbate. This is supported also by calculated photoelectron energy distributions.

- Microbial growth in coal slurries can be detected if surfactant is present in the samples by analysing the protein concentration after disintegration of the cells. Without surfactant present in the samples, the proteins are readily adsorbed on the coal surfaces. A suitable surfactant is sodium dodecyl sulphate at 0.5 to 1% of the sample volume

- The purpose of this study was to determine whether infectious herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) has tumorigenic properties and, if so, whether inhibition of the cytolytic replicative cycle of the virus after infection enhances tumour development. Eighty mice were subjected to repeated inoculation of HSV-1 on their upper lips after scarification, and systemic administration of acyclovir (ACV). 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate (TPA) was used as the tumour promoter. The tumour incidence was compared to control groups each of 40 mice that were either not treated with ACV, not treated with TPA, not infected with HSV or only scarified. In the virus-infected group treated with ACV and TPA, 25% of the animals developed tumours. In the HSV-infected group treated with TPA only, 25% of the animals also developed tumours. The uninfected animals which were not treated with TPA developed tumours to a significantly lesser degree. In conclusion, the combined effects of HSV-1 and TPA, with or without ACV treatment, resulted in a significant increase in the number of tumours in comparison to the control groups.

- The tumor promoting effects of snuff was studied in Lewis rats initiated with 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQO) and Sprague Dawley rats repeatedly inoculated with herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). The test substances were administered in a surgically created canal in the lower lips of the rats. There were 15 rats in each test group and 10 rats in the control group. In the groups treated with 4-NQO and 4-NQO + snuff, 8 and 12 tumors (5 and 9 malignant) were found, respectively. In the group subjected to HSV-1 only, 3 tumors were found (2 malignant), in the group subjected to snuff only, 4 tumors were found (3 malignant) and in the group subjected to the combination of HSV-1 and snuff, 13 tumors were found (7 malignant). In the control group only one malignancy was found. The study did not show any promoting effects of snuff in the oral cavity after initiation with 4-NQO. Neither was there any increase in the number of oral tumors in rats treated with HSV-1 and snuff. However, there was a marked increase in the number of malignant tumors outside the oral cavity in the group treated with HSV-1 and snuff, underlining the importance of interactions between these two agents in the development of malignant lesions.

- Regeneration of severed peripheral nerves is unfortunately often incomplete, due to loss of nerve fibers and neuroma formation. A new approach is presented with the intention of improving the conditions for nerve repair. In the first of the two stages, a pseudosynovial tube is formed around a silicone rubber rod, surrounded by a stainless steel spiral, which was placed in the backs of rats. This tube, in the second stage, is used as a free "tube graft" to bridge gaps of about 10-12 mm lengths in the severed sciatic nerve. The tube was kept open by the metal spiral. Regenerating nerve fibers with their sprouts grew into the initially open space in the tube. A new nerve trunk was formed, comprised of closely packed myelinated and unmyelinated axons, organized into fascicles. Demonstration by electron microscopy and by EMG recording of reinnervation of foot muscles supported successful long-term results. The fascicles were delimited by perineurial and epineurial sheaths and, furthermore, showed signs of maturation. It was also demonstrated that the nerve-fiber regeneration ceased after a few weeks if there was no distal nerve inserted into the tube. The importance of optimizing the interaction between local factors and regenerating nerve fibers for reestablishment of functionally valuable motor units is discussed.

Cloned cell lines from a transplantable islet cell tumor are heterogeneous and express cholecystokinin in addition to islet hormones

- A liver metastasis (MSL) with a remarkable in vitro proliferation potential has been identified in an NEDH rat carrying a transplantable x-ray-induced islet cell tumor. Two insulin-secreting cell lines, MSL-G and MSL-H, with doubling times of 3-5 d were established by repeated limiting dilution cloning. In vivo inoculation of MSL-G cells induced severe hypoglycemia caused by a small but highly heterogeneous tumor as revealed by immunocytochemistry. Whereas most cells stained for the islet hormones, insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin, clustered cells were discovered to contain cholecystokinin (CCK). Additional in vitro-limiting dilution cloning, followed by immunocytochemical characterization, clearly demonstrated the capacity of single cell clones to simultaneously express the same four hormones. Radioimmunoassays with a panel of site-specific antisera of culture supernatants and purified cell extracts showed the MSL-G2 cells to produce, store, and secrete readily detectable amounts of processed and unprocessed CCK. Gastrin was not detected while coexpression of glucagon and CCK were demonstrated. Mutant clones selected for resistance to 6-thioguanine (frequency, 2 x 10-7) and checked for HAT (hypoxanthine, aminopterin, thymidine) sensitivity retained the capacity for multihormone expression. We propose that the MSL tumor contains pluripotent endocrine stem cells. The MSL tumor and the MSL-G2 cells in particular will allow studies of not only CCK biosynthesis and processing but also of mechanisms involved in tumor and islet cell differentiation.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Microbial, algal, plant and animal cells have been immobilized, with preserved viability, by entrapment in various matrices according to a new bead polymerization technique. The cell polymer/monomer mixture is kept suspended in a hydrophobic phase such as soy, paraffin, or silicon oil, tri-n-butylphosphate, or dibutyphtalate, which is compatible with the cells. The various monomers or polymers tested include agarose, agar, carrageenan, alginate, fibrin, and polyacrylamide. Furthermore, by adjustment of the stirring speed of the suspension, beads of desired diameter can easily be obtained. The entrapped cells are fully viable and biosynthetically active.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Applications of quantitative gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (selected ion monitoring) to clinical and ecological microbiology are described. The technique permits determination of selected microbial metabolites and can be used for the rapid diagnosis of, for example, tuberculosis by ion-focusing of specific branch-chain fatty acids. The technique is also used to determine diaminopimelic and muramic acids, and D- and L-amino acids separated by chiral gas chromatography, in the low picogram range. The latter method has the potential to detect and quantitate microbial populations.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An investigation was undertaken to outline how microorganisms suggested for use in coal desulphurization are affected by compounds leached from coal. Three species of the genus Sulfolobus were studied. Sulfolobus acidocaldarius was seen to be affected by compounds leached from coal more negatively than Sulfolobus brierleyi and Sulfolobus solfataricus. It was observed that certain conditions during leaching, such as pH, temperature and leaching time, were important for the concentration of compounds leached from coal. It was seen that compounds leached from coal, in some cases, can improve the growth yield for the microorganisms.
