The acetone extracts from three samples of the hepatopancreas of the poisonous scallops obtained on the Okhotsk Coast of Hokkaido Island were fractionated into two parts, hexane soluble fraction (fraction H) and 85% aqueous ethanol soluble fraction (fraction ) by partition to two layers. The majortoxic components in the mouse assay of “diarrheic shellfish toxin” by intra-peritoneal injection were found to be free unsaturated fatty acids showed the following toxicity in MU per g, 18:1 n-9 35, 18:2 n-6 , 18: n- 167, 18:4 n- , 20:5 n- 167, and :6 n- , respectively. Toxicity of the fraction Hin MUper g was much lower than that of the fraction . However, the toxicity of the fraction H per 1 g of the hepatopancreas was about twice that of the fraction , since the fraction Hwas much more abundant than the fraction in the hepatopancreas. The method for the assay of the diarrhetic shellfish toxin must be reexamined by considering the toxic effect of the free unsaturated fatty acids.

The EISCAT Svalbard Radar (ESR) has been used to obtain ion velocities in the lower thermosphere. By using beam swinging and assuming homogeneity and stationarity of the plasma, first approximations to the electric field have been deduced, and thus the thermospheric neutral wind has been estimated. From these derived parameters, we have estimated the gradient Richardson Number. Although many assumptions must be made, there is an indication that electrodynamics is able to contribute to enhancement or even production of neutral-air turbulence in the lower thermosphere. Finally, we outline a proposal for an analogy to the Reynolds Number, but reflecting the relative importance's of the contribution of ion-drag to the neutral dynamics and the kinematic viscosity.

A total of 176

E

. coli isolates were retrieved from 203 diarrheic fecal samples collected from Korean cattle on 117 different farms. The most frequently observed resistance in

E

. coli isolates was to tetracycline (88.6%), followed by streptomycin (.7%) and ampicillin (64.%). Resistance to cefazolin, cefoperazone, cefepime and amikacin was very low. Of the 176

E

. coli strains, forty (.7%) isolates from 30 farms showed resistance to fluoroquinolones (FQ). All the FQ-resistant strains possessed double mutations at codons and 87 in the gyrA gene, and a single mutation mostly at codon in the parC gene, except in one isolate. The pulsed-field gel electrophoresis profiles of the FQ-resistant

E

. coli isolates were heterogeneous, but two or three isolates that showed an identical pattern originated from the same or different farms. This study demonstrates that FQ resistance is frequently observed in

E

. coli from diarrheic cattle and that mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining region are the same as those seen in

E

. coli originating from other animal species and humans. The FQ resistance in diarrheic cattle might have been mostly acquired independently, although the possibility of transmission of FQ-resistant

E

. coli within a farm or between farms is plausible.

Vitamin is localized in membranes and functions as an efficient inhibitor of lipid peroxidation in biological systems. In this study, we measured the second-order rate constants (k_s) for the reaction of tocotrienol homologues (α-, β-, γ-, and δ-Toc-Hs) with the aroxyl radical (ArO•) used as a model for lipid peroxyl radicals (LOO•) in the membranes of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EYPC) vesicles by stopped-flow spectrophotometry, and compared them to those of tocopherol homologues (α-, β-, γ-, and δ-TocHs). The relative rate constants of Toc-H homologues to α-Toc-H in membranes (α/β/γ/δ=100/.7/63.2/20.2) were not much different to those of TocH homologues to α-TocH (α/β/γ/δ=100/88.4/./17.). Each k_s value of Toc-H homologues in membranes was 60-% of that of the corresponding TocH homologues except for the almost identical k_s values of δ-homologues, but there was no difference in EtOH solution between each k_s value of the corresponding homologues of Toc-H and TocH. These results indicate that the difference of the alkyl-side chain structure of vitamin causes a change in the mobility of vitamin molecules and/or the location of their antioxidant OH-groups in membranes, resulting in lowered radical-trapping rates of Toc-Hs. By use of the ratio of the k_inh value of α-TocH with LOO• (.20×10⁶ M⁻¹s⁻¹) to the k_s value of α-TocH with ArO• (.05×10⁴ M⁻¹s⁻¹) in chlorobenzene (that is, 39.), the k_inh value for the reaction of α-TocH with LOO• in membrane was estimated to be 1.03×10⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹.

We investigated the local structure changes of nanocrystalline alloy prepared by arc melting with various annealing conditions by XAFS. It was found that individual structural changes occur around each element (Fe, Si, P, Cu) by several annealing steps. The as-spun sample shows amorphous like structure. The Fe and Si phase crystallize by annealing at first transition temperature (693 K). On the other hand the local structure around Cu and P atoms changed by two steps at 693 K and 823 K. In order to examine the structure more detail, the XANES comparison and the curve fitting method for EXAFS were performed. The Cu atoms were embedded in bcc Fe phase between the first and second transition temperatures and changes to fcc Cu phase over 823 K. It was suggested that α-Fe phase including the isolated Cu atoms can be easily crystallized and shows the high magnetic performance. [DOI: 10.1380/ejssnt.2012.651]

We screened the differentiation-inducing activities of 39 mushroom extracts from Akita prefecture, Japan, on the mouse osteoblastic cell line, MCT-1. Sixteen phosphate buffered saline (PBS), boiled PBS, 14 ethanol and 12 methanol extracts induced alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities, an indicator of MCT-1 cell differentiation. The enzyme activities were markedly induced by extracts of Tricholoma auratum, and we isolated the active compound from methanol extracts of this mushroom. Physical data for the isolated active compound were identical to those for (,24R)-ergosta-7,-diene-,5α,6β-triol (1). 1 induced ALP activities of MCT-1 cells and promoted cell proliferation. To investigate the relationships between the chemical structure and differentiation-inducing activity of the compound, ALP-inducing activities of MCT-1 cells by 1, ergosterol (2), ergocalciferol (), cholesta-,5α,6β-triol (4), 7-dehydrocholesterol (5) and cholecalciferol (6) were tested. The enzyme activities of MCT-1 cells were increased .0-fold by 10 μM 1 and 2.4-fold by 10 μM 4. However, 2, , 5 and 6 did not induce MCT-1 cell ALP activity at 0.1—10 μM. These results suggested that the OH groups at C-5 and/or C-6 of 1 and 4 played an important role in their differentiation-inducing activities on MCT-1 cells. Furthermore, 1 suppressed induction of MCT-1 cell apoptosis by serum starvation.
