Reversible pressure-induced structure changes in turbostratic BN-C solid solutions.

The results obtained by Rietveld analysis and numerical modeling of B-C-N layered clusters with various types of lattice defects explain the evolution of diffraction patterns of turbostratic graphite-like BN-C solid solutions which are experimentally observed at room temperature at pressures up to 30 GPa. Above 20 GPa a reversible diffusionless transformation of the initial turbostratic structure takes place, giving a high-pressure phase formed by close-packed buckled layers having a diamond-like structure.

Estimation and testing with overdispersed proportions using the beta-logistic regression model of Heckman and Willis.

Methods are presented for modeling dose-related effects in proportion data when extra-binomial variability is a concern. Motivation is taken from experiments in developmental toxicology, where similarity among conceptuses within a litter leads to intralitter correlations and to overdispersion in the observed proportions. Appeal is made to the well-known beta-binomial distribution to represent the overdispersion. From this, an exponential function of the linear predictor is used to model the dose-response relationship. The specification was introduced previously for econometric applications by Heckman and Willis; it induces a form of logistic regression for the mean response, together with a reciprocal biexponential model for the intralitter correlation. Large-sample, likelihood-based methods for estimating and testing the joint proportion-correlation response are studied. A developmental toxicity data set illustrates the methods.

Conjunctivitis due to soft lens solutions.

In cases of conjunctivitis associated with the use of soft lenses, delayed hypersensitivity to disinfecting components of the used soft lens liquids has to be considered. In 7/15 patients, positive patch test reactions to merthiolate, chlorhexidine or the soaking solutions were observed. The significance of these findings is discussed.

In vitro virucidal activity by components of a topical film-forming medication.

This study evaluated the in vitro virucidal activity of soluble components of a topical film-forming medication, Zilactin, against Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). Using a standard plaque reduction assay, a 1:10 dilution of the experimental liquid resulted in total destruction of infectious HSV-1. The phenomenon could not be explained by ethanol concentration or lowering of pH, both of which had no effect on control samples. As employed in this assay, Zilactin diluted 1:10 did not demonstrate cyctotoxicity to the cell monolayer system. The implications of these findings on the design and implementation of clinical trials are discussed, with special reference made to the restrictions imposed by the natural history of clinical lesions caused by HSV-1.

The relationship between certain blood constituents in cows with milk fever and the response following treatment with calcium borogluconate solutions.

The association between the concentrations of various blood constituents and the responses of cows with milk fever following calcium borogluconate therapy was determined using analysis of variance. In cows which had not received herdsman treatment prior to sampling (n = 63), plasma potassium was the only constituent with a significant effect (p less than 0.01), the mean concentrations for cows classified as unassisted, assisted, or delayed, recoveries, and deaths ranging down from 4.3 to 2.8 mmol/l, respectively. In cows which had received treatment prior to sampling (n = 55) those making unassisted recoveries had significantly lower mean concentrations of serum total calcium than those making assisted recoveries (1.3 v 1.9 mmol/l, respectively, p less than 0.05), and cows making delayed recoveries had significantly lower mean plasma inorganic phosphate concentrations (0.3 mmol/l) than those making unassisted and assisted recoveries (both 0.7 mmol/l, p less than 0.05) and those subsequently dying (1.2 mmol/l, p less than 0.01). Response was not dependent on plasma potassium concentrations in the treated group of cows, and plasma sodium, serum magnesium, and erythrocyte sodium concentrations were not significant in either group of cows.
