Role of antibody and complement in opsonization of group B streptococci. (1/334)

A requirement for the classic complement pathway in opsonization of group B streptococci was observed by using both a chemiluminescence and a radiolabeled bacterial uptake technique. The classic pathway increased levels of opsonization for types Ia and II stock and wild strains and for some type III wild strains. In contrast, other type III wild strains and the type III stock strain had accelerated kinetics of uptake in the presence of an intact classic pathway, but the level of opsonization was unchanged from that with antibody alone. We could not demonstrate a significant role for the alternative pathway in opsonizing stock or wild strains of group B streptococci. Futhermore, electrophoretic and complement consumption analysis by hemolytic titration failed to reveal alternative pathway activation by the majority of strains of this group. Therapy aimed at supplying opsonins for these organisms will require the presence of type-specific antibody.  (+info)

Calcium fluxes in single muscle fibres measured with a glass scintillator probe. (2/334)

1. An intracellular glass scintillator (Caldwell & Lea, 1973) has been used to obtain a continuous record of the influx of 45Ca into single muscle fibres of the barnacle, Balanus nubilus. 2. In the presence of intracellular EGTA (final concentration greater than 3 mM/kg), the scintillator detected an initial fast phase to the influx (half-time = 18.3 min, compartment size = 4.1% fibre volume) followed by a slow, linear phase which gave a value for the Ca influx of 1.2 p-mole . cm-2 . sec-1. The efflux of 45Ca was also measured with the scintillator by transferring a 45Ca-loaded fibre into 45Ca-free saline. Two exponential phases of efflux were detected with half-times of 16.2 and 500 min. 3. The characterisitics of the fast phase of the influx and efflux are similar to those of the influx of the impermeant sucrose and inulin, suggesting that the fast phase represents exchange with the extracellular 'cleft space'. This phase was insensitive to external La3+ (2 mM). 4. The slow phase is considered to represent the flux of Ca across the surface membrane. It was inhibited by external La3+ (2 mM) and stimulated by replacing external Na+ with Li+. 5. When EGTA-injected fibres were depolarized using an axial, intracellular electrode the Ca influx, measured from the slow phase, was increased. At higher concentrations of intracellular EGTA (6--22 mM/kg), the extra Ca influx due to a rectangular, depolarizing current pulse was proportional to the number of Ca spikes it produced. A single Ca spike gave an extra Ca influx of 19--48 p-mole . cm-2. External D600 (5 x 10(-4)M) inhibited both Ca spike and the extra Ca influx. 6. At lower intracellular EGTA concentrations (3.6--11 mM/kg), a 50 mV depolarization of 250 msec duration gave a mean extra Ca influx of 80 p-mole . cm-2. The upper value was 145 p-mole . cm-2 and this would increase the total internal Ca by 4.1 micrometer/kg. It is calculated that if all this extra Ca was bound to the myofibrillar sites for tension, it would only produce 6.2% of the force expected for a similar depolarization in a fibre with no intracellular EGTA.  (+info)

Optimization of a new scintillation gas detector used to localize electrons emitted by 99mTc. (3/334)

We have developed a scintillation gas detector to localize electrons emitted by 99mTc. This type of detector allows direct quantification of images and so provides a clear advantage over autoradiographic film. We have optimized the device to give an image spatial resolution that closely approximates that of typical autoradiographic film. To improve this resolution, it was necessary to select only low-energy electrons (2 and 15 keV) and to devise novel detection and localization techniques for the ionizing particles. METHODS: A parallel-plate proportional avalanche chamber is subject to a uniform electrical field and amplifies the number of released electrons through collisions of ionizing particles in the gas mixture. Light emitted by the gas scintillator during the avalanche process is collected by a highly intensified charge coupled device camera. The centroid of each resulting light distribution is calculated, resulting in a quantitative mapping of the sample's activity. Insertion of the sample within the gas volume improves the efficiency and so provides a method that is both very sensitive and linear. RESULTS: We have shown that in a parallel-plate structure, the application of a high electrical field to the surface of the sample and the selection of appropriate light spots, according to their morphology, can overcome localization errors due to the particles' trajectories. We have obtained a resolution of the order of 30 microm, using electrons from 99mTc. CONCLUSION: This detection technique allows considerable improvement in image resolution. This "electron camera" is a serious rival to existing autoradiographic techniques, because it provides certain other advantages, including direct quantification, linearity, high dynamic range and low noise levels. Thus, new perspectives are made available in quantitative double tracer autoradiography, because electrons can be selected for imaging as a function of their energy.  (+info)

Growth and differentiation of cultured fetal hepatocytes isolated various developmental stages. (4/334)

We examined the relationship between cell proliferation and differentiation of cultured rat fetal and newborn hepatocytes isolated from various developmental stages. The albumin production rate increased along with cell growth under in vitro culture and became maximal two days after the growth cessation. AFP was secreted by both fetal and newborn hepatocytes with growth ability. Furthermore, the responses to HGF addition in fetal hepatocyte cultures were observed in terms of growth stimulation and down-regulated of the Met receptor. We also studied the changes in RB and liver enriched transcription factors (C/EBPs) for investigating the mechanism underlying proliferation and differentiation of fetal hepatocytes. Western blot analysis of hepatocytes taken from various gestation stages of rat liver showed that the expression of RB and C/EBP beta increased as gestation stage proceeded. When RB antisense S-oligonucleotide was added to the culture medium, proliferation and AFP expression increased, while C/EBP alpha and albumin expressions decreased. These results indicated that the tumor suppressor gene product RB had a profound role not only in cell proliferation but also hepatocyte differentiation.  (+info)

Highly Th2-skewed cytokine profile of beta-lactam-specific T cells from nonatopic subjects with adverse drug reactions. (5/334)

A positive lymphocyte transformation test to beta-lactams (beta-L) was found in 12 of 29 subjects with adverse drug reaction (ADR) to beta-L, irrespective of either the type of clinical manifestation or the presence of specific serum IgE. Short-term T cell lines specific for penicillin G, amoxicillin, and ampicillin could be generated only from subjects with ADR (eight with positive and one with negative lymphocyte transformation test), while streptokinase and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus group 1 (Der p 1)-specific T cells were obtained from all these subjects, from 7 atopic Der p-sensitive donors without history of ADR and 17 healthy nonatopic donors. Streptokinase-specific T cells from all subjects showed intracellular expression of IFN-gamma with poor or no IL-4, whereas Der p 1-specific T cells exhibited IFN-gamma but low or no IL-4 expression in nonatopics, and remarkable IL-4 expression in atopic donors. By contrast, all penicillin G-, ampicillin-, and amoxicillin-specific short-term T cell lines showed high intracellular expression of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, but poor or no expression of IFN-gamma, thus exhibiting a clear-cut Th2 profile. Accordingly, most penicillin G-specific T cell clones derived from two subjects with ADR released high concentrations of IL-4 alone or IL-4 and IFN-gamma. These data suggest that cytokines produced by Th2 cells play an important role in all beta-L-induced ADR, even when late clinical manifestations occur and an IgE-mediated mechanism is apparently indemonstrable.  (+info)

Human immune responses to the highly repetitive Plasmodium falciparum antigen Pf332. (6/334)

The B and T cell responses to EB200, a repetitive part of the Plasmodium falciparum antigen Pf332, were examined in malaria-exposed Senegalese adults. Most donors had high levels of antibodies to recombinant EB200 and 17 overlapping peptides spanning EB200. Taking proliferation and/or cytokine (interferon-gamma and interleukin-4) production as a measure of T cell activation, eight of the EB200-derived peptides induced responses in > 40% of the donors tested. There was no general association between the different types of T cell responses measured, emphasizing the importance of including multiple parameters when analyzing T cell responses and suggesting that EB200 induces functionally distinct T cell responses. The most efficient peptide for induction of proliferative responses was one previously shown to induce T cell responses in five different H-2 congenic mouse strains primed with EB200, suggesting that this is a universal T cell epitope. The presence of multiple B and T cell epitopes in EB200, widely recognized by humans, is important since EB200 has been shown to elicit protective antibody responses in monkeys and may be considered for inclusion in malaria subunit vaccines.  (+info)

Determination of different amino sugar 2'-epimerase activities by coupling to N-acetylneuraminate synthesis. (7/334)

A new procedure for quantitating the amount of N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc) or ManNAc-6-phosphate produced by 2'-epimerase activities involved in sialic acid metabolism has been developed. The ManNAc generated by the action of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and UDP-GlcNAc 2'-epimerases is condensed with pyruvate through the action of N-acetylneuraminate lyase and the sialic acid released is measured by the thiobarbituric acid assay. For the analysis of prokaryotic GlcNAc-6-phosphate 2'-epimerase, ManNAc-6-phosphate can also be evaluated by this coupled assay after dephosphorylation of the sugar phosphate. This system provides a sensitive, rapid, reproducible, specific and simple procedure (feasible with commercial reagents) for measuring amino sugar 2'-epimerases from eukaryotic and prokaryotic sources. The technique reported here permitted us to detect UDP-GlcNAc 2'-epimerase and GlcNAc 2'-epimerase in mammalian cell extracts and GlcNAc-6-phosphate 2'-epimerase in bacterial extracts.  (+info)

T-cell mediated autoimmunity to the insulinoma-associated protein 2 islet tyrosine phosphatase in type 1 diabetes mellitus. (8/334)

The target molecules of the T-cell response in type 1 diabetes, despite their pathogenic importance, remain largely uncharacterized, especially in humans. Interestingly, molecules such as insulin and glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) have been shown to be a target not only of autoantibodies, but also of autoreactive T-lymphocytes both in man and in the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse. In the present study we aimed to determine the existence of a specific T-cell response towards the insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2) islet tyrosine phosphatase, a recently identified autoantigen which is the target of autoantibodies strongly associated with diabetes development. Human recombinant IA-2 produced in Escherichia coli, was tested for its reactivity with peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from 16 newly diagnosed type 1 diabetic patients and from 25 normal controls, 15 of whom were HLA-DR-matched. A T-cell proliferation assay was performed in triplicate employing freshly isolated cells in the absence or in the presence of the antigen to be tested (at two different concentrations: 2 microg/ml and 10 microg/ml). A specific T-cell proliferation (defined as a stimulation index (S.I.) >/=3) was observed against IA-2 used at a concentration of 10 microg/ml (but not of 2 microg/ml) in 8/16 diabetic patients, in 1/15 HLA-DR-matched control subjects (P<0.01 by Fisher exact test) and in 0/10 of the remaining normal individuals. A statistically significant difference (P<0.003 by Mann-Whitney U test) was also observed in S.I. values between patients (3.1+/-1.4) and HLA-DR-matched controls (1.7+/-0.54) employing IA-2 at a concentration of 10 microg/ml. However, when IA-2 was used at a concentration of 2 microg/ml, the difference in S. I. between patients (1.65+/-0.8) and controls (1.0+/-0.3) did not reach statistical significance. In conclusion, these data show the presence of a specific, dose-dependent T-lymphocyte response against the IA-2 islet tyrosine phosphatase at the onset of type 1 diabetes. Consequently, this molecule appears to be a target not only at the B-lymphocyte but also at the T-lymphocyte level, reinforcing the potential pathogenic role of this autoantigen in the islet destructive process.  (+info)

Development of plastic scintillation detector (PSD) systems for dosimetry has been evolving for two decades now. The subject area has been a topic of a keen research interest that has generated lot of publications lately. PSD systems are being introduced in the market place. Numerous PSD systems for External Beam Radiation Therapy and Brachytherapy have been proposed, most times differentiating from the original systems by slight changes in one or more components, such as the photodetector. However, few major technological and engineering innovations have enabled this new technology to be embraced by the community which helped launching these systems for commercialization (Standard Imaging, Radiadyne, etc.). Scintillation materials (plastic, scintillating fibers and liquid) have many properties that make them ideal for dosimetry including water equivalence and energy independence for MV photons, linearity with dose, dose rate independence, high spatial resolution and nanosecond fast response time.

As a result, these beads are ideally suited to use with a CCD imager, such as PerkinElmerlj Viewlux™ CCD Imager.. Two types of core SPA Imaging bead are available - yttrium oxide (YOx) and Polystyrene (PS). A number of biological coatings also exist for each core bead type to enable receptor binding, enzyme, molecular interaction and radioimmunoassays to be investigated.. Scintillation proximity assay (SPA) is a homogeneous and versatile technology for the rapid and sensitive assay of a wide range of biological processes, including applications using enzyme and receptor targets, radioimmunoassays, and molecular interactions. When 3H, 14C, 33P, and 125I radioisotopes decay, they release β-particles (or Auger electrons, in the case of 125I). The distance these particles travel through an aqueous solution is dependent on the energy of the particle. If a radioactive molecule is ...

Kinase inhibition. Flt-4 tyrosine kinase was obtained from ProQinase GmbH (Freiburg, Germany) and c-Kit tyrosine kinase from Upstate Biotechnology, Inc. (Lake Placid, NY). Each additional kinase used was generated as a cell lysate, following infection of insect cells with recombinant baculoviruses containing kinase domains. All enzyme assays were run at, or just below, the respective Km for ATP (0.2-30 μmol/L). The inhibitory activity of AZD2171 was determined against a range of recombinant tyrosine kinases [KDR, Flt-1, Flt-4, c-Kit, PDGFR-α, PDGFR-β, CSF-1R, Flt-3, FGFR1, Src, Abl, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), ErbB2, Aur-A, and Aur-B] using ELISA methodology described previously ( 28). Selectivity versus CDK2 and CDK4 serine/threonine kinases was examined using scintillation proximity assays with a retinoblastoma substrate and [γ-33P]ATP ( 29).

Contribution of alpha4beta1 integrin to the antiallergic effect of levocabastine | IRIS Università degli Studi di CataniaContribution of alpha4beta1 integrin to the antiallergic effect of levocabastine | IRIS Università degli Studi di Catania
Levocabastine is an antiallergic drug acting as a histamine H1-receptor antagonist. In allergic conjunctivitis (AC), it may also antagonize up-regulation of the intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expressed on epithelial conjunctival cells. However, little is known about its effects on eosinophils, important effector cells in AC. The adhesion molecule integrin alpha(4)beta(1) is expressed in eosinophils; it interacts with the vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and fibronectin (FN) in vascular endothelial cells and contributes to eosinophil activation and infiltration in AC. This study provides evidence that in a scintillation proximity assay levocabastine (IC(50) 406 microM), but not the first-generation antihistamine chlorpheniramine, displaced (125)I-FN binding to human integrin alpha(4)beta(1) and, in flow cytometry analysis, levocabastine antagonized the binding of a primary antibody to integrin alpha(4) expressed on the Jurkat cell surface. Levocabastine, but not ...

The second type of radiation detector we will discuss is called the scintillation detector. Scintillations are minute flashes of light which are produced by certain materials when they absorb radiation. These materials are variously called fluorescent materials, fluors, scintillators or phosphors.. If we had a radioactive source and a scintillator in the lab we could darken the room, move the scintillator close to the source and see the scintillations. These small flashes of light might be green or blue or some other colour depending on the scintillator. We could also count the number of flashes produced to gain an estimate of the radioactivity of the source, that is the more flashes of light seen the more radiation present.. The scintillation detector was possibly the first radiation detector discovered. You might have heard the story of the discovery of X-rays by Wilhelm Roentgen in 1895. He was working one evening in his laboratory in Wurzburg, Germany with a device which fired a beam of ...

PMT calibration of a scintillation detector using primary scintillationPMT calibration of a scintillation detector using primary scintillation
We have studied the calibration of PMTs in scintillation detectors, inducing single electron response on the PMT from primary scintillation produced by x-ray interaction. The results agree with those obtained by the commonly used single electron response (SER) method, which uses LED light pulses to induce the PMT SER. The use of the primary scintillation for PMT calibration will be convenient in situations where the PMT is already in situ, when it becomes difficult or even impossible to apply the SER method, e.g. in commercial sealed scintillator/PMT devices. Furthermore, we have experimentally investigated the possibility of fitting the high-charge tail of the PMT SER pulse-height distribution to an exponential function, inferring the PMT gain from the inverse of the exponent. The results of the exponential fit method agree with those obtained by the SER method for pulse-height distributions resulting from an average number of around 1.0 photoelectrons reaching the first dynode per ...

A radiation detector, in particular a gamma camera, is constructed and operated in such a fashion that only a predetermined number of light sensors (such as PMTs) adjoining each other in a cluster are used to generate a signal with amplitude and event position information. The camera may also use an array of individual scintillation elements (crystals) in place of a single crystal, with certain advantages obtained thereby. According to another aspect of the invention, there is a reflector sheet that defines an array of apertures through which scintillation light can pass from the scintillation crystal to a plurality of light sensors optically coupled to an optical window in an array corresponding to the array of apertures in the reflector.

Measurement of tritium with plastic scintillator surface improvement with plasma treatment (Journal Article) | SciTech ConnectMeasurement of tritium with plastic scintillator surface improvement with plasma treatment (Journal Article) | SciTech Connect
Tritium is usually measured by using a liquid scintillation counter. However, liquid scintillator used for measurement will become radioactive waste fluid. To solve this issue, we have developed a method of measuring tritium samples with plasma-treated plastic scintillator (PS)sheets (Plasma method). The radioactive sample is held between 2 PS sheets and the whole is enclosed in a a low-potassium glass vial. With the Plasma method of 2-min plasma treatment, we have obtained measurement efficiency of 48 ± 2 % for 2 min measurement of tritium except for tritiated water. The plasma treatment makes the PS surface rough and hydrophilic which contributes to improve the contact between tritium and PS. On the other hand, it needed almost 6 hours to obtain constant measurement efficiency. The reason was that the dry-up handling in the vial needed longer time to vaporize H{sub 2}O molecules than in the air. We tried putting silica gel beads into vials to remove H{sub 2}O molecules from PS sheet surface ...

Study Notes: LS CountingStudy Notes: LS Counting
Liquid scintillation counting (LS Counting) is a laboratory-based technique that uses a Liquid Scintillation Counter (LSC) to count the radioactive emissions from a liquid sample. It is often used in the biological sciences to measure the uptake of radioactive isotopes into biological materials. The different forms of an element are called isotopes.. For instance, the nucleus of the element phosphorus has 15 protons but it may contain differing numbers of neutrons. If it has 13 neutrons it is called 28P (15 + 13 = 28) and if it has 19 neutrons it is called 34P. In fact phosphorus exists as 7 different isotopes:. 28P, 29P, 30P, 31P,32P, 33P, 34P. 31P is the most abundant form and is stable whereas the other isotopes may be unstable and emit radioactivity. In the case of 32P, a beta particle is emitted.. LSC is a method of counting radioactive emissions from a limited range of radionuclides. The common isotopes used include:. ...

Typically, a PET-scanner consists of a detector ring with 60 cm diameter and 20 cm length inside which the patient is positioned. For brain studies the patient bed is positioned in such a way that the entire brain is within the field of view. To investigate the entire patient the bed is moved step-by-step. The detector consists of scintillation detectors with scintillation crystals coupled to photomultipliers. The radiation, which is emitted from the patient after the injection of a weak radioactively labelled substance (radiotracer), causes light pulses within the scintillation crystals. This light is converted to electrical signals by the photomultiplier. A detector is linked to opposing detectors by a coincidence logic: if the radiation hits two opposing detectors within a time interval of, e.g. 6 ns, it is assumed that the radiation comes from a radiotracer molecule located on the line connecting the two detectors. During the PET study, which can last from a few minutes up to two or three ...

Scintigraphy - WikipediaScintigraphy - Wikipedia
Scintillography is mainly used in scintillation cameras in experimental physics. For example, huge neutrino detection underground tanks filled with tetrachloroethylene are surrounded by arrays of photo detectors in order to capture the extremely rare event of a collision between the fluids atoms and a neutrino. Another extensive use of scintillography is in medical imaging techniques which use gamma ray detectors called gamma cameras. Detectors coated with materials which scintillate when subjected to gamma rays are scanned with optical photon detectors and scintillation counters. The subjects are injected with special radionuclides which irradiate in the gamma range inside the region of interest, such as the heart or the brain. A special type of gamma camera is the SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography). Another medical scintillography technique, the Positron-emission tomography (PET), which uses the scintillations provoked by electron-positron annihilation phenomena. ...

Measurement of Regional Cerebral Blood Flow With 133Xenon and a Multiple-Crystal Scintillation Camera | StrokeMeasurement of Regional Cerebral Blood Flow With 133Xenon and a Multiple-Crystal Scintillation Camera | Stroke
A method was devised to measure gray and white matter cerebral blood flow simultaneously in multiple regions of the brain using 133Xenon and a multiple-crystal scintillation camera. Following magnification cerebral arteriography, 133Xe was injected into the internal carotid artery and the washout of tracer was monitored with a scintillation camera which consists of 294 individually collimated NaI (TI) crystals. These data, obtained from each crystal overlying the brain, were processed by a weighted least-squares nonlinear regression technique. The blood flow rates of the rapid and slow compartments were calculated by the Kety-Schmidt formula along with 95% confidence limits for each measurement.. In four patients, local increases or decreases in regional cerebral flow were correlated with areas of pathology. In one patient with a cerebral arteriovenous malformation, regions of local shunting of tracer were identified. Application of a three-compartment analysis to these curves permitted ...

Scintillators or the key to a successful endeavourScintillators or the key to a successful endeavour
Beamlines on synchrotrons worldwide need a lot of specific components in order to carry out specialised and state of the art experiments. Scintillators are essential components which make X-rays visible so they can be detected with CCD or CMOS cameras.. The sub-micrometre resolution and high image contrast demanded by todays experiments require scintillator films with thicknesses in the range 1-20 μm as well as providing high optical quality and uniformity. Thin scintillators minimise degradations due to focusing defects, diffraction and spherical aberrations, therefore boosting the image contrast and spatial resolution. But the sophisticated techniques required to grow such crystals and their high specificity means that very thin single crystal film scintillators are not commercially available.. In April 2010, the ESRF established a unique liquid phase epitaxy facility for single crystal film scintillators. Liquid phase epitaxy is a technique whereby scintillating crystal layers are grown on ...

Cardiac output was measured by the injection method, using I131-labeled human serum albumin as indicator, and measuring concentration-time curves through the intact skin with a collimated scintillation counter. Although, in principle, any number of blood vessels could be used as the measuring site, it was found that because of recirculation, ... read more suitable curves were obtained only if the counter was directed toward the head or the heart. Cardiac output values calculated from these curves were compared with values found with the classical sampling method. Head, heart, and arterial sampling curves were measured simultaneously with one injection of radioactive indicator. The measurements show that a head curve could be used in measuring cardiac output by the injection method, but it is not very successful because of the rather high standard deviation of the result (25 per cent). A heart curve, however, can successfully replace an arterial sampling curve. The accuracy of heart and arterial ...

A method for producing a plastic scintillator is disclosed. A plurality of nano-sized particles and one or more dopants can be combined with a plastic material for the formation of a plastic scintillator thereof. The nano-sized particles, the dopant and the plastic material can be combined within the dry inert atmosphere of an extruder to produce a reaction that results in the formation of a plastic scintillator thereof and the deposition of energy within the plastic scintillator, such that the plastic scintillator produces light signifying the detection of a radiative element. The nano-sized particles can be treated with an inert gas prior to processing the nano-sized particles, the dopant and the plastic material utilizing the extruder. The plastic scintillator can be a neutron-sensitive scintillator, x-ray sensitive scintillator and/or a scintillator for the detection of minimum ionizing particles ...

Conversion of essential fatty acids by Delta 6 desaturase in dog liver microsomesConversion of essential fatty acids by Delta 6 desaturase in dog liver microsomes
Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (LCPUFA) are physiologically important precursors for eicosanoids, leukotrienes, and prostanoids. Desaturation of essential fatty acids (EFAs) by []6-desaturase is considered the rate-limiting step in conversion of EFAs to LCPUFA. This study was designed to study the conversion of EFAs by []6-desaturase in dog liver microsomes. Microsomes were prepared using fresh liver from healthy dogs. Microsomes were incubated with ¹⁴C labeled 18 carbon EFA substrates. Following incubation, lipids were extracted, saponified and phenacylated. The resulting fatty acid phenacyl esters (FAPES) were separated by HPLC. Radioactivity was measured with a liquid scintillation counter, converted to enzymatic activity, and expressed as pmol/min/mg protein. Using 18:3n-3 as substrate, the apparent []6-desaturase maximal velocity was 50.9 pmol/min/mg protein and using 18:2n-6 substrate, the maximal velocity was 5.4 pmol/min/mg protein. Apparent K[] values were 20.8 []M for ...

Gamma spectroscopy - WikipediaGamma spectroscopy - Wikipedia
The equipment used in gamma spectroscopy includes an energy-sensitive radiation detector, electronics to process detector signals produced by the detector, such as a pulse sorter (i.e., multichannel analyzer), and associated amplifiers and data readout devices to generate, display, and store the spectrum. Other components, such as rate meters and peak position stabilizers, may also be included.. The most common detectors include sodium iodide (NaI) scintillation counters and high-purity germanium detectors.. Gamma spectroscopy detectors are passive materials that wait for a gamma interaction to occur in the detector volume. The most important interaction mechanisms are the photoelectric effect, the Compton effect, and pair production. The photoelectric effect is preferred, as it absorbs all of the energy of the incident gamma ray. Full energy absorption is also possible when a series of these interaction mechanisms take place within the detector volume. When a gamma ray undergoes a Compton ...

TY - JOUR. T1 - Neutrino phenomenology of very low-energy seesaw scenarios. AU - De Gouvêa, André. AU - Jenkins, James. AU - Vasudevan, Nirmala. PY - 2007/1/29. Y1 - 2007/1/29. N2 - The standard model augmented by the presence of gauge-singlet right-handed neutrinos proves to be an ideal scenario for accommodating nonzero neutrino masses. Among the new parameters of this new standard model are right-handed neutrino Majorana masses M. Theoretical prejudice points to M much larger than the electroweak symmetry breaking scale, but it has recently been emphasized that all M values are technically natural and should be explored. Indeed, M around 1-10eV can accommodate an elegant oscillation solution to the liquid scintillator neutrino detector (LSND) anomaly, while other M values lead to several observable consequences. We consider the phenomenology of low-energy (M 1keV) seesaw scenarios. By exploring such a framework with three right-handed neutrinos, we can consistently fit all oscillation ...

The low energy gas scintillation proportional counter (LE-GSPC) is an imaging x-ray spectrometer. It is one of the narrow field instruments on board the SAX satellite and covers the lower energy range from 0.1 to 10 keV. The low energy response of the detector is achieved by using a driftless gas cell and a thin multilayer polyimide foil as entrance window. The overall design of the imaging GSPC for space application is described. Using unit level and system level calibration data, acquired at a synchrotron and a long beam x-ray source, the capabilities both in terms of energy and position resolution are discussed. The overall efficiency of the instrument which includes the mirrors effective area, the entrance windows transparencies, the detectors efficiency and electronics deadtime are reviewed. Background rejection issues and the experiments consequent sensitivity to the measurement of cosmic x- ray source spectra are addressed ...

Guanazole and aphidicolin were chosen as candidates in the search for a selective, non-genotoxic inhibitor of DNA replication which could be used instead of hydroxyurea to measure DNA repair synthesis in rat hepatocyte primary cultures by liquid scintillation counting. The genotoxicity of these 3 chemicals was studied using the Salmonella/liver homogenate assay and the autoradiographic UDS test in hepatocytes. Hydroxyurea was positive in both of these assays. Guanazole and aphidicolin did not induce DNA repair in hepatocytes. Aphidicolin was not mutagenic for Salmonella typhimurium, whereas guanazole increased the revertant numbers of strain TA102 slightly. The incorporation of [3H]thymidine was measured by liquid scintillation to determine DNA repair induced by 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF), aflatoxin B1, benzo[a]pyrene, cyclophosphamide, H2O2, 6-hydroxydopamine, N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), methylnitrosourea (MNU), 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide and UV irradiation in the presence of ...

0049] The ring buffer 15d receives an input of the reading signal 15r and outputs the event data 15k to a subsequent data processing stage 15i according to the reading signal 15r. The event data 15k in this situation is event data 15k of which the amount that is read is regulated according to the reading signal 15r. In other words, during the high count rate period, the ring buffer 15d outputs only the pieces of event data 15k stored in the buffer areas 1 to i, according to the reading signal 15r. On the contrary, during the normal period, the ring buffer 15d outputs the pieces of event data 15k stored in all of the buffer areas 1 to n, according to the reading signal 15r. As explained here, the event data 15k output from the ring buffer 15d is the event data 15k of which the amount that is read is regulated according to the reading signal 15r.

BCNU (carmustine), 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) and Vidarabin-monophosphate (ARA-A5P) were compared in their activities against 30 cell lines of primary (n = 21) and metastatic (n = 9) brain tumors, which were characterized in tissue culture by cytochemical, immunological and cytogenetic criteria. In vivo achievable concentration-time products were correlated with in vitro pharmacokinetic data. A micro assay was employed to screen for drug toxicity in individual tumor cell lines; cells were exposed to the drugs at exposure doses relevant to in vivo pharmacokinetics. After 5-8 population doubling times of untreated controls, RNA-synthesis, as a parameter of cell metabolism and proliferation, was determined by incorporation of (5, 6-3H)-uridine into cellular RNA (liquid scintillation counting protocol). A tumor stem cell assay was performed under similar conditions. The cytotoxic effect of each drug on individual cell lines was expressed in terms of a sensitivity index SI (SI = 1 indicating complete ...

Evaluation of potassium-43 scintillation images during early myocardial ischemia in an animal model. | CirculationEvaluation of potassium-43 scintillation images during early myocardial ischemia in an animal model. | Circulation
To assess the validity of myocardial imaging with potassium-43 (43K) early after the onset of ischemia, the left anterior descending artery was occluded with a baloon tip catheter in 32 intact anesthetized dogs. 99mTechnetium ventriculograms localized the left ventricle. 43K was administered intravenously and serial images were obtained in four views using an Anger camera with a pinhole collimator. The heart was arrested after 60 minutes and removed for imaging and tissue counts to ascertain extracardiac and geometric factors. In normals (group 1) left ventricular images were relatively homogeneous, except for the thin walled apex, both in vivo and in the isolated heart. Equilibration with 43K prior to ischemia (group 2) gave similar images to group 1, associated with a small reduction in tissue count after one hour of ischemia. Group 3 was infused with 43K after initiation of ischemia. Despite a reduction of 43K counts in the ischemic area to less than one-fourth of the nonischemic site (P less ...

Dr. Nerine J. Cherepy ProfileDr. Nerine J. Cherepy Profile
Scintillator crystal detectors form the basis for many radiation detection devices. Therefore, a search for high light yield single crystal scintillators with improved energy resolution, large volume, and the potential for low cost, is an ongoing process that has increased in recent years due to a large demand in the area of nuclear isotope identification. Alkaline earth halides, elpasolites and rare earth halides are very interesting because many compositions from these crystal families provide efficient Ce3+/ Eu2+ luminescence, good proportionality and good energy resolution. They also have small band-gap leading to higher light yields. Ce3+and Eu2+ are efficient, and the emission wavelengths in the 350-500 nm region matches well with PMTs and a new generation of Siphotodiodes. In this presentation, we will the present progress made in the crystal growth of these compositions, and scintillator properties of large diameter SrI2:Eu2+ single transparent crystals. The crystals were grown ...

Capillary guiding [IAP/TU Wien]Capillary guiding [IAP/TU Wien]
First investigations in our laboratory were carried out using etched nano capillaries in a PET foil. These nano-capillaries had diameters of the order of 100nm at a length of several microns. A beam of highly-charged-ions was used to irradiate the foil, which could be tilted against the beam axis. The transmitted ions were recorded with a position sensitive detector system, allowing a time resolved determination of the deflection. Latest experiments were using a single, macroscopic glass tube, with a diameter of about 170 microns and a total length of more than 10 mm, showing also guiding up to several degrees, as illustrated in the figure. One can see the 2D image of the direct beam collimated by a 500 micron aperture at the capillary position (red) in comparison to the ions transmitted through the capillary (blue) at 4 different tilt angles. The experiments have been carried out with our ECR ion source, using 4.5keV Ar9+ projectiles. ...

New Device Sniffs Out Diseases Like Medical Detection Dogs - Sapiens DigitalNew Device Sniffs Out Diseases Like Medical Detection Dogs - Sapiens Digital
Medical Detection Dogs dogs are able to sniff out some of the most aggressive forms of cancer thanks to their training. This training, however, takes time, hence the researchers desire to create a faster process using devices and AI. Results from the study showed that these trained dogs correctly identified positive prostate cancer samples 71 percent of the time, and correctly ignored negative samples - including people with other prostate diseases.. The robotic nose mimics this sniffing ability to detect such diseases thanks to an electronic device - which could one day come in the form of an app. Dr. Andreas Mershin, co-author of the study and from MIT, said Imagine a day when smartphones can send an alert for potentially being at risk for highly aggressive prostate cancer, years before a doctor notices a rise in PSA levels.. Mershin and the team have been working on their device over the past few years, which currently comes in the form of a miniaturized detector system that ...

When employing specular reflective material in a scintillator crystal array, light trapping in the crystal due to repetitive internal reflection is mitigated by roughening at least one side (16) of each of a plurality of pre-formed polished scintillator crystals. A specular reflector material (30) is applied (deposited, wrapped around, etc.) to the roughened crystals, which are arranged in an array. Each crystal array is coupled to a silicon photodetector (32) to form a detector array, which can be mounted in a detector for a functional scanner or the like.
