COLLISION-INDUCED ENHANCEMENT EFFECT OF THE INTENSITIES OF 23∏g—13∑u+ DIFFUSE SPECTRUM FOR K2 DIMER

Binaural auditory fusion of 108 children (4, 6, and 8 years old) was studied using three lists of monosyllabic words (WIPI) presented at two sensation levels (30 and 40 dB). The words were processed to produce three bandwidth conditions (100, 300, 600 Hz) and were administered via three presentation modes (binaural fusion 1, diotic, binaural fusion 2). Results showed improved discrimination scores with increasing age, sensation level, and filter bandwidth. Diotic scores were better than binaural fusion scores for the narrower bandwidth conditions, but the diotic enhancement effect was seriously compromised in the widest bandwidth (600 Hz) condition. The results confirmed the contention that prior research results were equivocal due, in large measure, to procedural variability. Methods for reducing such variability and enhancing the clinical viability of binaural fusion tasks are suggested.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to design nanocarriers for the topical application of rivastigmine. Methods: The effect of cosurfactants, hydrophilic gel and loading amount on the permeability of rivastigmine through rat skin was evaluated. Skin irritation tests and stability tests were performed to evaluate the utility of tested formulations. Results: The results showed that the microemulsion formation and characteristics of drug-loaded formulations were related to many parameters of the components. When using microemulsion systems as a vehicle, the permeation rate remarkably increased about 13.2~24.3-fold and the lag time was significantly shortened from 24 h to 4.7 h. Formulations containing a cosurfactant of Diethylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether (DEGBE) showed higher enhancement effect, while increasing the loading dose from 0.5% to 5% further increased the flux about 2.1-fold and shortened the lag time. Conclusion: The drug-loaded experimental formulation did not cause skin irritation and had good stability at 20ºC and 40ºC storage for at least 3 months. The result showed that gel-based microemulsion formulation could be a promising approach for topical administration.

Effects of compressive stress on oxygen agglomeration processes in Czochralski grown silicon heat treated at T= 450OC, used as a reference temperature, and T= 600OC to 800OC are investigated in some detail. Compressive stresses of about P= 1 GPa lead to enhanced formation of Thermal Double Donors in materials annealed over a temperature range of T= 450OC – 600OC. It has been shown that the formation of thermal donors at T= 450OC under normal conditions and compressive stress is accompanied with loss of substitutional boron. In contrast, the concentration of the shallow acceptor states of substitutional boron in silicon annealed under stress at T≥ 600OC remains constant. An enhancement effect of thermal donor formation is gradually weakened at T≥ 700OC. The oxygen diffusivity sensitive to mechanical stress is believed to be responsible for the observed effects in heat-treated silicon.

First Case

Abstract Background The bacterium Campylobacter insulaenigrae was first isolated from marine mammals of Scotland in 2004. Only one case of C. insulaenigrae infection in humans has been previously reported. Case presentation An 89-year-old Japanese man without dementia was admitted to our hospital, because he presented with a fever of 38 °C and weakness in right leg since 5 days. He had organized chronic subdural hematoma (CSH), and no history of pre-infection. At the time of admission, he had paralysis of the extraocular muscle, ataxia, and low manual muscle test score of the right side. He was suspected to have Miller Fisher syndrome; however, these symptoms improved without any treatment. On day 22 in the hospital, the patient presented a fever of 38.8 °C, left cranial nerve disorder, and hemiplegia. On day 25, the patient presented with signs of meningeal irritation; cerebrospinal fluid examination indicated an increase in the number of apocytes and a low glucose level. A contrast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the patient’s head indicated a contrast enhancement effect in his right meninges. The blood culture showed presence of spirillums; 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed that the spirillums in the blood culture were Campylobacter insulaenigrae (C. insulaenigrae). We started treatment with meropenem for bacteremia and meningitis. When the symptoms improved, meropenem was replaced with ampicillin, based on the result of the drug sensitivity test. The treatment continued for 4 weeks. Conclusions We report the first case of meningitis caused by C. insulaenigrae bacteremia in humans, and the second clinical report of C. insulaenigrae infection in humans. The bacterial strains isolated from humans and marine mammals had different genotypes. This suggests that different genotypes could be responsible for differences in the hosts. Further case studies are needed to establish the reasons behind the difference in the manifestations of C. insulaenigrae infections reported so far.
