RESUMO

We demonstrate the hohlraum radiation temperature and symmetry required for ignition-scale inertial confinement fusion capsule implosions. Cryogenic gas-filled hohlraums with 2.2 mm-diameter capsules are heated with unprecedented laser energies of 1.2 MJ delivered by 192 ultraviolet laser beams on the National Ignition Facility. Laser backscatter measurements show that these hohlraums absorb 87% to 91% of the incident laser power resulting in peak radiation temperatures of T(RAD)=300 eV and a symmetric implosion to a 100 µm diameter hot core.

RESUMO

The cerambycid beetles comprise a diverse family that includes many economically important pests of living and dead trees. Pheromone lures have been developed for cerambycids in many parts of the world, but to date, have not been tested in Australia. In this study, we tested the efficacy of several pheromones, identified from North American and European species, as attractants for cerambycids at three sites in southeast Queensland, Australia. Over two field seasons, we trapped 863 individuals from 47 cerambycid species. In the first season, racemic 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one was the most attractive compound among the eight pheromones tested. Subsequently, we aimed to optimize trapping success by combining this compound with other components. However, neither the addition of other pheromone components nor host plant volatiles improved the efficacy of 3-hydroxyhexan-2-one alone. We also tested a generic pheromone blend developed for North American cerambycids, and found that only the combination of this blend with host plant volatiles improved trapping success. The Australian cerambycid fauna is not well known, and effective lures for use in trapping beetles would greatly assist in the study of this important group. Effective semiochemical lures would also have implications for biosecurity through improved monitoring for invasive species.

RESUMO

The biocompatibility of silicone is once again the focus of increased interest. Long considered inert, silicone has now been reported to be responsible for macrophage inhibition in rats and to possibly cause adjuvant disease in humans, and the related compound silica has elicited an antibody response in mice. The present study evaluates lymphocytic response to silicone as expressed by the demonstration of immunologic memory, or changes in specific lymphocyte subpopulations. Thirty-six female Lewis rats (250 gm body weight) were used as test animals. Group 1 (n = 12) was injected subcutaneously with 2.5 ml Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA) alone. Group 2 (n = 12) was injected with 2.5 ml FCA sonicated with silicone gel. Group 3 (n = 6) was injected with 2.5 ml FCA, and at 4 weeks, gel-filled silicone implants were placed subcutaneously. Group 4 (n = 6) was injected with 2.5 ml FCA sonicated with silicone gel, and gel-filled silicone implants were placed at 4 weeks. An additional group of six rats (group 5) served as control for the experimental animals, and a group of four rats (group 6) served as naive control. Groups 1 and 2 were sacrificed at 4 weeks, and splenic lymphocytes were obtained for lymphocyte transformation assays performed against silicone. Assays also were run with the addition of the known mitogens Con A, PHA, LPS, and pokeweed. Cytofluorographic analysis of pan-T, T-helper, T-suppressor, and B-cell populations was performed. Groups 3, 4, 5, and 6 were harvested at 8 months, and splenic lymphocytes were subjected to lymphocyte transformation assay.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

RESUMO

Mesenteric lymphography was used to identify and ligate the thoracic duct in a 1-year-old Himalayan cat with chylothorax. Lymphography revealed the thoracic duct to be intact; however, multiple dilated lymphatics, indicative of lymphangiectasia were evident in the cranial portion of the thorax. Hemostatic clips were used to ligate the thoracic duct. The effusion stopped, and 9 months after surgery, effusion has not recurred.

RESUMO

A patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) developed rash, fever, neutropenia, and elevated liver function tests during an initial course of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) therapy. Upon reexposure to the drug, the patient experienced a severe anaphylactoid reaction associated with pulmonary edema and rhabdomyolysis. Reactions associated with TMP-SMX rechallenge in this patient population have been previously reported but have not been associated with this degree of severity. TMP-SMX therapy should be instituted with extreme caution in patients with AIDS who have demonstrated a prior hypersensitivity reaction to the drug.

RESUMO

Investigations into the effects of prior silicone exposure on subsequent capsule formation around silicone implants assume particular relevance in light of the exponential increase in the medical application of polymers such as silicone. The inert nature of silicone has been in question with regard to its effects on the immune system, specifically whether or not it may act as a hapten or antigen. The present study analyzes the effects of prior silicone exposure on subsequent capsule formation, histological consistency, and pressures when an animal is reexposed to a silicone implant. Twelve female Lewis rats (body weight 250 g) were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 (n = 6) rats were subcutaneously injected with 2.5 ml of Freund's Complete Adjuvant, Group 2 (n = 6) rats were injected with an equal volume of adjuvant sonicated with silicone gel. At 4 weeks a gel-filled silicone implant was placed subcutaneously in each animal. Capsule pressures were obtained at 4 months and the capsules from 3 rats from Group 2 were excised and examined microscopically. Pressures were measured again at 8 months and all remaining capsules were excised and examined. No statistically significant differences were noted when comparing two profiles over time between silicone-exposed and nonexposed animals in regard to capsule thickness or capsule pressure. However, capsule pressures were significantly lower at 8 months than at 4 months in both groups (p less than 0.034). In this model, significant reductions in capsule pressure were noted in both groups over time, but prior exposure to silicone did not appear to alter capsule histology, thickness, or pressure.
