Mathematical modelling of the effect of sole elasticity distribution on pronation.

A coronal plane model of a distributed elastic sole has been proposed and analyzed with respect to the effects of different medial-lateral elasticity distribution on pronation under quasi-static conditions. The distributed model consists of an array of linear vertical line springs. Under minimum energy assumption, the behavior of the top surface of the interface under resultant force and moment loading was shown to be equivalent to that of a rigid-body mechanism under the same loading. The model was then combined with a rigid-link model of the lower limb. Expressions that describe the relationship of the interface aggregate parameters with pronation and the center of pressure were obtained. These expressions were confirmed by an experiment in which the elastic distribution in the interface was systematically varied and the pronation angle and the center of pressure measured. The model has the potential of being a useful analytical tool in the design of elastic soles in running shoes.     

Heterogeneity of high affinity uptake of L-glutamate and L-aspartate in the mammalian central nervous system.

Characteristics of high affinity uptake of L-glutamate are examined in order to evaluate the possible use of the uptake of [3H]L-glutamate, [3H]L-aspartate or any other suitable [3H]-labelled substrate as a marker for glutamatergic and aspartergic synapses in autoradiographic studies in the mammalian brain. Review of data on substrate specificity indicates the presence of at least two high affinity uptake systems specific for acidic amino acids in the central nervous tissue; one which takes up L-glutamate and L-aspartate and the other which is selective for L-glutamate only. Studies on ionic requirements, too, point to the existence of at least two distinct uptake systems with high affinity for L-glutamate. The Na(+)-dependent uptake system(s) handle(s) both L-glutamate and L-aspartate whereas the Na(+)-independent uptake system(s) show(s) selectivity for L-glutamate only. Available data do not favour the Na(+)-dependent binding of [3H]D-aspartate to thaw-mounted sections of frozen brain tissue as a suitable marker for glutamatergic/aspartergic synaptic nerve endings. However, there are reasons--such as the results of lesion studies and the existence of uptake sites which have a higher affinity for L-aspartate than for D-aspartate--to suggest that Na(+)-dependent binding of [3H]L-aspartate, rather than that of [3H]D-aspartate, should be further investigated as a possible marker for the glutamatergic/aspartergic synapses in the autoradiographic studies using sections of frozen brain.     

Analysis of styryl-based inhibitors of the lymphocyte tyrosine protein kinase p56lck.

Several styryl-based compounds were evaluated for their capacity to act as inhibitors of the non-receptor tyrosine protein kinase p56lck. Our results demonstrate that alpha-cyanocinnamamide compounds can inhibit both the in vitro tyrosine autophosphorylation of p56lck as well as p56lck phosphorylation of exogenous substrates. Compound 67B-83-A was found to inhibit p56lck protein kinase activity with a calculated IC50 of 7 to 10 microM. This compound did not significantly inhibit the tyrosine protein kinase activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor and was found to be a less effective tyrosine protein kinase inhibitor for other members of the src family of protein kinases.     

Microcarrier culture of bowes melanoma cells in serum-free medium with Human plasma fraction IV-4+ V

Bowes melanoma cells were cultivated successfully in a serum-free medium which was constructed by the concept of maximum retention of proteins from fractionated human plasma having growth stimulatory activities. The cells could be cultivated in the serum-free medium without any adaptation period. The major serum-free component of the medium was the fraction IV-4 + V of the Cohn fractionation process of human plasma. Approximately six times increase of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity as compared with that in serum-free medium even though the cell growth was much slower. In addition, the growth stimulatory activities of thrombin and fibronectin were investigated during the cultivation of Bowes melanoma cells in this serum-free medium. These proteins contributed significantly to the enhanced growth of cells by reducing doubling time to 25 and 35 h as compared with 55 h in the serum-free medium without them. Especially, fibronectin supported cells to propagate near to the maximum cell density achieved in the medium with 10% FBS.     

Promotive effect of chrysanthemic acids on adventitious root formation in some plants

Adventitious root formation in excised cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cotyledons was significantly promoted by (±)-cis-chrysanthemic acid at 0.006–1.8 mM. The effect of (±)-cis-chrysanthemic acid on indole-3-acetic acid (IAA)-induced rooting was additive. Rooting in excised cucumber cotyledons was significantly promoted by several isomers of chrysanthemic acid and sodium (±)-cis-chrysanthemate at 0.18 mM. Rooting in mung bean (Phaseolus radiatus L.) hypocotyls was also stimulated by the sodium salt at 0.06–0.6 mM. Rooting of kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) hypocotyls was also clearly enhanced by sodium (±)-cis-chrysanthemate at 0.18–6 mM.
