The composition of the contrast-donating complex of rat liver glycogen, nucleoplasm, erythrocytes, and mitochondria was established by X-ray microanalysis. In these compartments the presence of osmium and iron was shown qualitatively in tissue after glutaraldehyde fixation, treated with OsVIIIO4 plus K4FeII(CN)6 and in similar tissue treated with a combination of K2OsVIO4 plus K4FeII(CN)6. Osmium and ruthenium were detected in these compartments, in aldehyde-fixed tissue treated with mixtures containing K2RuIVL(CN)6 rather than K4FeII(CN)6. The iron detected in the glycogen, nucleoplasm, erythrocytes, and mitochondria of tissue treated with K2RuIV(CN)6 mixtures proved to derive from sources inside the electron microscope, and had to be considered an artifact. Quantitatively, the mean atomic ratios of osmium-to-iron and osmium-to-ruthenium were determined from spectra obtained by point analyses of the same compartments (glycogen, nucleoplasm, mitochondria, lipid droplets, and erythrocytes). After correction of the spectra for the instrumental iron contribution, the osmium-to-iron and osmium-to-ruthenium ratios in the glycogen were about 1:3 for tissue treated with those combinations including K2OsVIO4. In the other compartments, the osmium-to-iron and osmium-to-ruthenium ratios were virtually 1:0. For Os-VIIIO4 in combination with potassium ferrouscyanide however the osmium-to-iron ratio was 1:7 in the glycogen and 1:5 in all other compartments. OsVIIIO4 was combined with potassium ruthenium-cyanide, the osmium-to-ruthenium ratio was 1:2 in the glycogen and 2:1 in the other compartments. These results support our view that the selective glycogen contrast is obtained by complex formation.

Zirconia (ZrO2) nanotubes were synthesized by anodization of zirconium (Zr) foil in NH4Fand (NH4)2SO4 aqueous solution. Different surface preparation methods (electropolishing and etching) were applied on the Zr foil prior to anodizaton. In addition, the anodization time and NH4F concentration were varied. The structure and morphologies of the nanotubes and their crystallinity were confirmed using scanning electron microscope and x-ray diffractometer, respectively. ZrO2 nanotubes with large diameters and thick walls were formed at lower NH4F concentration and longer anodization time. On the other hand, smaller nanotubes with thinner walls were produced when the NH4F concentration was increased. The synthesized nanotubes were predominantly tetragonal ZrO2 with small amounts of monoclinic ZrO2.

Cementless Total Hip Replacement

Between 1980 and 1987 we have implanted 46 isoelastic cementless THR in 40 patients affected with rheumatoid arthritis. We have reviewed 38 hips clinically and by X-ray. The mean follow-up was 8,5 years. Harris hip scores ranged from 30.6 preoperatively to 73,4 post-operatively when reviewed. While on the other hand Merle D'Aubigné hip scores ranged from 7,06 pre-operatively to 15,59 post-operatively. All patients have been satisfied, and X-rays showed an improvement for both Charnely and Gruen X-ray score.

The nerve endings of the adrenal medulla of the rabbit were studied under the electron microscope in the normal condition and after prolonged electrical stimulation of the splanchnic nerve. With a stimulus of 100 pulses per second for 10 minutes, there is an increase in the number of synaptic vesicles in the nerve ending. The mean number is of 82.6 vesicles per square micron in the normal and of 132.7 per square micron in the stimulated glands. With a stimulus of 400 pulses per second for 10 minutes, there is a considerable depletion of synaptic vesicles and other changes occur in the nerve endings. The mean number of vesicles is of 29.2 per square micron. These results are interpreted as indicative of an increased activity of the ending in one case, and as a diminished activity and fatigue of the synaptic junction in the other.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pelvic tilting along the long axis and femoral rotation on Norberg angle (NA), subluxation index (SI) and subluxation category (SC) in the standard ventrodorsal hip extended (VDHE) radiographical view on live animals. Study Type This was a retrospective clinical study. Materials and Methods Pairs of VDHE views, one adequately positioned and the other with pelvic tilting or femoral internal or external rotation, were compared for the NA, SI and SC. Results On the malpositioned pelvis set, on the underside the mean ± SD NA was 98.7 ± 6.1°, the SI was 0.27 ± 0.12 and the SC was 2.8 ± 0.8 versus, on the acceptable set, the NA was 99.2 ± 6.4° (p > 0.05), the SI was 0.25 ± 0.12 (p < 0.05) and the SC was 2.3 ± 0.9 (p < 0.05); on the malpositioned upperside, the NA was 102.1 ± 6.4°, the SI was 0.21 ± 0.14 and the SC was 1.7 ± 1.1 versus, on the acceptable positioned set, the NA was 100.8 ± 6.7° (p < 0.05), the SI was 0.24 ± 0.15 (p < 0.05) and the SC was 2.3 ± 1.2 (p < 0.05). Femoral internal or external rotation sets did not show significant differences between malpositioned and acceptable positioned sets (p > 0.05). Conclusions In clinical practice, pelvic tilting along the long axis in VDHE view results in non-favourable hip changes in the NA, SI and SC on the underside and favourable on the upperside, and the internal or external femoral rotation did not affect these variables.

Fine Localization

Ash patterns produced by oxygen plasma microincineration(OPM) of thin-sectioned biological materials and examined with the transmission electron microscope (TEM) can show unambiguously the distribution of mineral substances in the specimen with resolutions down to 100 Å. The chemical nature of the mineral is not demonstrated, however. Electron-probe X-ray microanalysis (EXM), on the other hand, can determine precisely the nature of the mineral in ashgd or unashed sections but its spatial resolution is limited to 1000-10,000 A at best. Also its sensitivity of analysis on unashed specimens is limited by intolerance of the specimen to high beam intensities. Using both TEM and EXM together on ash patterns of suitable specimens can overcome their independent spatial and chemical limitations. Furthermore, use of OPM produces a highly stable mineral specimen for EXM, thereby improving sensitivity.

Work Up

The syntheses and attempted syntheses of some non-peripherally (1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25) octasubstituted lead phthalocyanines from their corresponding metal-free derivatives are described. Some compounds exhibited lability of the lead ion during work-up to regenerate the starting material. The results of single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses of 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octahexyl-, 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octa-iso-pentyl- and 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octahexylsulfanyl lead phthalocyanines are reported and cast some light on the greater stability of 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octahexylsulfanyl lead phthalocyanine, in terms of ease of loss of the lead ion, over the other two substituted lead phthalocyanines studied. The phthalocyanine cores of all three derivatives adopt a saddle-shaped geometry rather than the saucer-shaped conformation exhibited by unsubstituted lead phthalocyanine. The saddle-shaped conformation would appear to offer a means of relieving steric interactions between the substituents on adjacent benzene rings. That steric interactions are a feature of these molecules is perhaps reflected in the different distortions of the saddle conformations. This is greatest for compound 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octa-iso-pentyl lead phthalocyanine bearing the isopentyl groups, expected to introduce the most interactions, and least for compound 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octahexylsulfanyl lead phthalocyanine where S atoms rather than methylene groups are adjacent to the benzene ring. The molecules of 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octahexyl- and 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octahexylsulfanyl lead phthalocyanine pack together in pairs with their nearest neighbouring molecule; their lead atoms, displaced from the core and directed towards each other. The presence of the S atoms in 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octahexylsulfanyl lead phthalocyanine leads to close Pb … S contacts between the molecules. Attractive Pb … S interactions in this compound may also account for the larger displacement of the Pb from the mean-plane of the four coordinated nitrogen atoms at the centre of the phthalocyanine core than is found for 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octahexyl- and 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octa-iso-pentyl lead phthalocyanines. The molecular packing of 1,4,8,11,15,18,22,25-octa-iso-pentyl lead phthalocyanine is more complex because of the presence of tetrahydrofuran molecules (the solvent of recrystallisation) within the crystal, offering additional interactions with the Pb atoms.

Protonated Ligand

During the synthesis of an FeBr2complex with the PNP ligand (R,R,SFc,SFc)-[Fe2(C5H5)2(C38H35NP2)] (1), single crystals of the dichloromethane monosolvate of the Br−salt of the protonated ligand1H+were obtained serendipitously,i.e.[Fe2(C5H5)2(C38H36NP2)]Br·CH2Cl2. The crystal structure of1H·Br·CH2Cl2was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The mean bond lengths in the ferrocene units are Fe—C = 2.049 (3) Å and C—C = 1.422 (4) Å within the cyclopentadienyl rings. The mean C—N bond length is 1.523 (4) Å. The interplanar angle between the two connected cyclopentadienyl rings is 49.2 (2)°. One ferrocene moiety adopts a staggered conformation, whereas the other is between staggered and eclipsed. The Br−ions and the CH2Cl2molecules are located in channels extending along <100>. One ammonium H atom forms a hydrogen bond with the Br−ion [H...Br = 2.32 (4) Å and C—H...Br = 172 (3)°]. The second ammonium H atom is not involved in hydrogen bonding.

Unfixed frozen-dried and uncoated tissue sections of the mouse duodenum were placed on carbon planchets and analyzed in a scanning electron microscope fitted with energy dispersive X-ray equipment. Computer analysis of the X-ray spectra allowed elemental microanalysis of the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitotic chromatin regions in the cryptal and villus enterocytes. The peak to continuum ratio of S, Cl, K, and Ca were higher in mitotic chromatin than any of the other sites measured. The redistribution of Ca at mitosis is postulated to help explain both chromosome condensation and assembly of the mitotic spindle apparatus.

In Al-Li-Cu alloy(2090) the extra spots in the Selected Area Diffraction Pattern (SADP) of [112]α zone axis have been argued. Huang and Ardell described that the extra spots were originated from T1 variants tilted to electron beam. Rioja and Ludwiczak, however, presented that die precursor of T1 termed T1' was present in alloy(2090) and generated the extra spots. Rioja and Ludwiczak explained die existence of extra spots as making the simulated SADP diagrams and analyzing x ray diffraction lines of T1'. The existence of T1' has been inconsistent with the other papers. Huang and Ardell's model has been well recognized in present. The investigations on the extra spots had mainly been restricted in [112]α SADP. In the present paper, the extra spots from [110]αand [100]α zone axes were investigated using High Resolution Electron Microscope (HREM) and optical laser diffractometer.

This study investigated the effect of Ag addition on the morphology and growth rate of Cu5Zn8, Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn intermetallics in the Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder. The solder was prepared by mixing 1wt% of Ag into 99wt% of Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder. The intermetallics were formed by liquid-state aging, whereby the solders were reacted on Cu substrate above the melting temperature of the solder. The reflow was done at 250°C and 270°C at various soldering times. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to observe the morphology of the intermetallic phase and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) was used to identify the elemental composition. The Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder reacting with Cu substrate formed a single Cu5Zn8 intermetallic layer with a flat structure. On the other hand, the reaction between (Sn-8Zn-3Bi)-1Ag solder and Cu substrate produces Cu6Sn5 intermetallic. This Cu6Sn5 intermetallic has a scallop structure. As the soldering time increases, a second layer, identified as Cu3Sn starts to grow. The thickness of the intermetallics increases with aging temperatures and time. The addition of Ag into the Sn-8Zn-3Bi solder has significantly suppressed the formation of Cu5Zn8 intermetallic and promoted the growth of Cu6Sn5 intermetallic.
