The Cross

The energy distribution in an electron; beam from an electron gun provided with a biased Wehnelt cylinder was measured by a retarding potential analyser. All the measurements were carried out with a beam of small angular divergence (<3xl0-4 rad) to eliminate the apparent increase of energy width as pointed out by Ichinokawa.The cross section of the beam from a gun with a tungsten hairpin cathode varies as shown in Fig.1a with the bias voltage Vg. The central part of the beam was analysed. An example of the integral curve as well as the energy spectrum is shown in Fig.2. The integral width of the spectrum ΔEi varies with Vg as shown in Fig.1b The width ΔEi is smaller than the Maxwellian width near the cut-off. As |Vg| is decreased, ΔEi increases beyond the Maxwellian width, reaches a maximum and then decreases. Note that the cross section of the beam enlarges with decreasing |Vg|.

Do So

Isoleucine is known to be a very effective inhibitor and stabilizer of threonine deaminase. In contrast, valine has been reported to be a positive effector for the enzyme by action on a separate site. However, the apparent increase in activity caused by valine is due to stabilization of the enzyme. When stabilization is accomplished by other means, valine exerts only an inhibitory effect. Thus, valine, like isoleucine, both stabilizes and inhibits threonine deaminase and may well do so via the isoleucine site on the enzyme.

SUMMARY The size of the 'readily releasable pool' of luteinizing hormone at various times of the oestrous cycle has been determined by injecting a supramaximal dose of luteinizing hormone releasing factor (LH-RF) i.v. into rats anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbitone. In an attempt to block replenishment of the 'pool' during release, cycloheximide was administered 30 min before LH-RF. A 20-fold increase in pool size occurred between the morning of dioestrus and the evening of pro-oestrus in the absence of any significant change in total pituitary content of LH. This suggests that increased responsiveness may be brought about by a change in the receptor-release apparatus and/or a transfer of LH from a 'storage pool' which leads to an apparent increase in the proportion of LH available for release.

The apparent increase in frequency of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis1 and the recognition that the gastrointestinal tract is often the portal of entry in neonatal sepsis2 has renewed interest in breast milk as a source of newborn immunity. Attention has recently focussed on milk leukocytes. The purpose of this commentary is to summarize the available information on this subject and to examine the implications that this knowledge may have on the possible use of human milk-feeding to protect the newborn from infection. Human colostrum and early milk contain 1 to 2 x 106 leukocytes; 80% to 90% of these are monocytic phagocytes and the remainder are lymphocytes.3,4
