The focus of discussion in Working Group 3 was on the Thermodynamic Properties as determined spectroscopically, including the observational techniques and the theoretical modeling of physical processes responsible for the emission spectrum. Recent advances in observational techniques and theoretical concepts make this discussion particularly timely. It is wise to remember that the determination of thermodynamic parameters is not an end in itself and that these are interesting chiefly for what they can tell us about the energetics and mass transport in prominences.

Biochemical Examination

Elastic tissue is an important component of the walls of arteries and veins, of skin, of the lungs and in lesser amounts, of many other tissues. It is responsible for the rubber-like properties of the arteries and for the normal texture of young skin. It undergoes changes in a number of important diseases such as atherosclerosis and emphysema and on exposure of skin to sunlight.We have recently described methods for the localizationof elastic tissue components in normal animal and human tissues. In the study of developing and diseased tissues it is often not possible to obtain samples which have been optimally prepared for immuno-electron microscopy. Sometimes there is also a need to examine retrospectively samples collected some years previously. We have therefore developed modifications to our published methods to allow examination of human and animal tissue samples obtained at surgery or during post mortem which have subsequently been: 1. stored frozen at -35° or -70°C for biochemical examination; 2.

Nonpulsatile Flow

SummaryRegulation of prostanoid release from ex vivo perfused vessel segments is not fully understood. A series of perfusion experiments were performed with canine arteries and veins to define certain regulatory phenomena. Arteries were perfused with pulsatile flow of 90 ml/min at a pressure of 100 mmHg, and veins with nonpulsatile flow of 90 ml/min at a pressure of 7 mmHg. Segments were perfused with Hanks' balanced salt solution for five 15-min periods with the perfusate exchanged after each study period. With onset of perfusion, there was an initial burst of prostacyclin release to 127 ± 40 pg/mm2, declining to 32 ± 10 pg/mm2 after 60 minutes (p <0.005). If perfusion continued for 5.5 hours, there was a stable release period between 1 and 3 hours, followed by a very slow decline. At that time addition of arachidonic acid (AA) increased prostacyclin release six-fold (p <0.01). Vessels perfused for 1 hour and then rested for another hour, responded to reperfusion at the second onset of flow with a two-fold increase in prostacyclin release (p <0.01). Vessels perfused with thrombin, bradykinin or A A (either added to each perfusate or only to the last perfusate) exhibited greater prostacyclin release than did control segments. Release of thromboxane steadily declined with time in all parts of the study, and only increased with the addition of A A to the perfusate. These data indicate that vessel segments subjected to ex vivo perfusion do not maximally utilize enzyme systems responsible for prostanoid production, and after 1 hour perfusion have not depleted their phospholipids, and maintain functioning levels of phospholipase and cyclooxygenase activity. This perfusion model allows for the study of prostacyclin and thromboxane release from arteries and veins and their response to various drugs and other stimuli.

SummaryIn vitro whole blood clots of various ages, experimental thrombi produced in the jugular vein of rabbits and human thrombi from arteries and veins were examined in semi-thin sections and by means of electron microscopy.In all types of clots examined a typical course of retraction was found. Retraction starts with a dense excentrical focus which grows into a densification ring. After 24 hours the entire clot becomes almost homogeneously dense; later a secondary swelling sets in.Shortly after coagulation the erythrocytes on the rim of the clot are bi-concave discs. They then assume the shape of crenate spheres, turn into smooth spheres and finally become indented ghosts which have lost the largest part of their contents. In the inner zone, which makes up the bulk of the clot, we observed bi-concave discs prior to retraction. After retraction we see no crenations but irregularly shaped erythrocytes. Once the secondary swelling sets in, the cross-section becomes polygonal and later spherical. After extensive hemolysis we observe the “retiform thrombus” made up of ghosts.Experimental and clinical thrombi present the same morphology but are differentiated from in vitro clots by: earlier hemolysis, immigration of leukocytes, formation of a rim layer consisting of fibrin and thrombocytes, and the symptoms of organization. Such symptoms of organization which definitely will prevent lysis with streptokinase were found relatively late in experimental and clinical thrombi. Capillary buds and capillary loops were never found in clinical thrombi prior to the third month.The morphological findings agree with earlier physical and enzymatic investigations. The observation that phenomena of reorganization occur relatively late and frequently only in the rim areas of large thrombi explains why lytic therapy is possible in some of the chronic obliterations.

Biosensor Response

A mathematical model of amperometric biosensors has been developed to simulate the biosensor response in stirred as well as non stirred solution. The model involves three regions: the enzyme layer where enzyme reaction as well as mass transport by diffusion takes place, a diffusion limiting region where only the diffusion takes place, and a convective region, where the analyte concentration is maintained constant. Using computer simulation the influence of the thickness of the enzyme layer as well the diffusion one on the biosensor response was investigated. The computer simulation was carried out using the finite difference technique.

ABSTRACTA variety of Cu/(Ni, Co) multilayers have been grown on Cu single crystals by pulse plating from an alloy electroplating bath. Copper is deposited under mass transport control while the iron group metal is deposited under interfacial charge transfer control. The structural evolution of these films is influenced by the morphological instability of the mass transport limited copper deposition reaction and the development of growth twins during iron-group metal deposition. Specular films have been obtained for growth on Cu(100) while rough, defective films were typically obtained for growth on Cu(111) and Cu(110).
