Abstract
Metoclopramide (MCA), a N-substituted benzamide, causes DNA strand breaks and inhibits DNA repair in vitro and sensitizes radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs in human squamous cell carcinomas when xenographed into nude mice or in a rat glioma model. Here we report on the evaluation of the mechanism behind the radiosensitizing effects of MCA. DNA damage was measured in vivo in a CBA-mouse tumor line (A12B3, sarcoma tumor) by using both alkaline elution and nucleoid sedimentation analysis of cell suspensions prepared from either resected tumor, spleen tissues or whole blood samples. The amount of DNA damage caused by radiation alone, measured 30 min after the irradiation was started, was dose dependent up to 18 Gy in all tissues. The radiation-induced DNA damage in tumor tissue was elevated compared to radiation alone in the presence of MCA, but the level was not higher at 18 Gy compared to 6 Gy in the presence of MCA, and it was still not fully repaired 12 h after irradiation. HPLC analysis of the NAD pools in tumor tissue after DNA damage induction showed a delay in the recovery of the NAD pools (presumably due to the presence of still unrepaired DNA) after exposure to MCA (2 mg/kg) + radiation (6 Gy) compared to tumors exposed to radiation (6 Gy) only, which were fully restored after 48 h. These data confirm earlier published in vitro data on MCA as an inducer of DNA damage and an effector of DNA repair. In addition, the in vivo measurement of radiation-induced DNA damage and DNA repair using the nucleoid sedimentation and alkaline elution assays together with NAD pool determinations may prove to be effective intermediate endpoints in the evaluation of drugs as potential radiosensitizers.

Abstract
Commercial twisted nematic liquid-crystal television provides coupled phase and amplitude modulation. We propose a simple wedged shear plate interferometer for in situ measurement of its phase modulation and operating curve. For a given operating curve, the coupled-mode modulation holograms are designed with an iterative method. We adjust the operating curve by rotating the polarizer and analyzer to obtain the optimal operating curve. The phase-mostly holograms yield good-quality reconstructed images with the zero-order spot reduced to a minimum. Experimental results are shown.

Abstract
PURPOSE To transplant human fetal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) into the subretinal space of rabbits and monkeys as an organized monolayer without artificial support. METHODS The method involves dissecting small patches of cultured RPE monolayers in sheets (1 to 5 mm2), sucking them into a glass pipette and injecting them into the subretinal space after producing a bleb detachment of the neural retina. RESULTS These patches unfold and survive as a quasi-monolayer under the reattached neural retina intimately associated with the host photoreceptors and phagocytizing host outer segment material. Graft rejection is observed in most rabbits at 1 month but not in monkeys at 3 months after transplantation. CONCLUSIONS Monolayer patches of cultured human fetal RPE can be transplanted to the subretinal space, where they survive in contiguity with healthy host outer segments. In primates, but not in rabbits, host-graft rejection does not occur for at least 2 to 3 months.

Abstract
Our laboratory, in collaboration with Oxigene Inc, has been involved in identifying commercially feasible clinical applications of measurement or modulation of ADP-ribosylation as a core technology. For this purpose a pivotal regulatory role for ADP-ribosylation in the repair of DNA lesions leading to cytotoxic as well as mutagenic events has been hypothesized. A new class of DNA repair inhibitors, the N-substituted benzamides, has been identified which can react with radiation to produce reactive intermediates that oxidize thiol amino acids. Their proposed mechanisms of action are two-fold: ie they can interact with radiation: i) to directly enhance DNA damage; and ii) to react with thiols in the zinc finger DNA binding domain of poly ADP-ribosyl transferase to inhibit DNA repair and thereby increase DNA damage. Sensamide, a clinically relevant formulation of metoclopramide which is an N-substituted benzamide, has indicated enhancement of tumor response and survival in patients with inoperable squamous cell carcinoma of the lung when it was administered as a radiosensitizer in a phase I/II trial and compared to historical controls. A mechanism of endogenous regulation of human mononuclear leucocyte ADP-ribosylation has been identified to be HOCl/N-chloramine production via the oxidative burst of phagocytes. HOCl/N-chloramines are potent oxidants of thiol-containing proteins. Quantitative estimation of N-chloramine sensitive plasma thiols has been identified as an effective surrogate measure of leucocyte poly ADPRT.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Analyses of the synthesis and processing of recombinant full-length glycoprotein D of equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1; gD392) or recombinant truncated gD (gD352) expressed in baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells revealed the following: (1) gD polypeptides encoded by both recombinant baculoviruses react with gD-specific antibodies including peptide-specific antiserum that neutralizes EHV-1 in a plaque reduction assay, (2) both the full-length recombinant gD392 and the truncated gD352 are expressed predominantly as gD species that contain high mannose-type oligosaccharides (55 kDa and 52 kDa, respectively), (3) both the full-length recombinant gD392 and the truncated gD352 are also expressed in lesser amounts as gD species that contain complex-type oligosaccharides (58 kDa and 55 kDa, respectively) as well as the unglycosylated forms of gD (43 kDa and 37 kDa, respectively), (4) flow cytometric analyses of cells expressing gD392 revealed that gD first appears on the cell surface at 24 h post infection; by 60 h, 95% of the cells express high levels of cell surface gD, (5) cells expressing gD352, in contrast to cells expressing gD392, secrete gD into the extracellular medium. This initial demonstration that immunoreactive EHV-1 glycoprotein D can be produced as a secreted polypeptide in the baculovirus system should provide reagents to assess the potential use of gD as a subunit vaccine in an animal model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is caused by abnormal retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and may be complicated by choroidal neovascularization. The object of treatment would be to replace the diseased RPE with normal human RPE. METHOD Five patients with ARMD (preoperative visual acuity 0.08-0.2) underwent removal of subretinal fibrovascular membranes using pars plana vitrectomy techniques. Human fetal RPE (15-17 weeks gestational age) was cultured and transplanted as a monolayer patch into the subretinal space. Transplants were followed by funduscopy and fluorescein angiography. Macular function was assessed using scanning laser ophthalmoscopic (SLO) microperimetry. RESULTS Three RPE transplants were placed in the fovea; two were placed parafoveally. All transplants have survived for 3 months. They have grown and increased in size covering part of the epithelial defect caused by removal of the fibrovascular membrane. SLO microperimetry indicated that visual function was present in four of the transplants at 1 month but in only two at 3 months after surgery. Function over the transplants, especially those in the fovea, was compromised by cystoidlike macular edema. CONCLUSIONS Human fetal RPE transplants survive well in the macula for as long as 3 months. They are capable of growing to cover epithelial defects caused by removal of subretinal neovascular membranes. The causes for development of macular edema in transplants directly in the fovea warrant further evaluation.

Abstract
Human retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) can be cultured by removing small patches of this layer from the choroid of the fetal eye. Such RPE patches give rise to healthy, epithelioid monolayers in vitro within 1-2 weeks without contamination from retinal or choroidal cells. The viability and proliferative capacity of these cultures is independent of the initial polarity of the patch. These RPE monolayers develop apical/basal polarity and a basal lamina and rest on a field of collagen fibers; they are capable of phagocytizing outer segments. A patch can be lifted off a confluent monolayer and transferred to another culture dish without risking the viability of either the old or the new culture. This provides a means of transplanting an organized, polarized patch of human RPE from one place to another.

Abstract
A shift-invariant optical continuous wavelet transform is used for pattern recognition. We propose an Voptical wavelet matched filter that performs optical wavelet transforms for edge enhancement and the correlation between two wavelet transforms in a single step. This new bandpass matched filter shows improved discrimination capability with respect to the conventional matched filter and improved signal-to-noise ratio with respect to the phase-only matched filter. The wavelet matched filter provides flexibility of an adaptive choice of the scale factors of the wavelets that permit the selection of size and orientation of the smoothing function used in edge enhancement and the optimization of the performance of the filter. Optical experimental results are shown.

Abstract
The protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine-threonine kinases comprises at least eight members. These are differentially expressed, show varying affinities for activators such as Ca2+ and lipid species, and are therefore thought to play wide-ranging roles in the regulation of such cellular processes as differentiation, growth, and secretion. The aim of this study was to identify new PKC isoforms in the insulin-secreting cell line RINm5F that might be activated by the alterations in lipid metabolism that accompany nutrient-stimulated insulin release. Fragments of cDNA, derived from RINm5F cell mRNA, were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction using degenerate oligonucleotide primers corresponding to highly conserved regions in the catalytic domains of all known PKCs. A novel sequence generated by this approach was subsequently used to screen cDNA libraries. The entire 587-amino acid coding region of a new PKC isoform, PKC iota, was deduced from two overlapping clones isolated from a human kidney cDNA library. The amino acid sequence of PKC iota showed greatest homology to PKC zeta, with 72% identity overall rising to 84% in the catalytic domain. In contrast, the homology of PKC iota to the other isoforms was less pronounced, with < 53% identity even in the highly conserved catalytic region. Further similarities between PKC zeta and PKC iota included a highly conserved pseudosubstrate sequence, the absence of an apparent Ca(2+)-binding region, and the presence of only one cysteine-rich, zinc finger-like domain. Northern blot analysis, using the full-length PKC iota clone as a probe, revealed a single 4.6-kilobase transcript present predominantly in lung and brain, but also expressed at lower levels in many tissues including pancreatic islets. In CHO-K1 cells stably expressing the PKC iota cDNA under the human beta-actin promoter, the protein was detected as a 65-kDa band by Western blotting using an antibody to the COOH terminus of PKC zeta (conserved in PKC iota). Extracts of transfected CHO-K1 cells also displayed a significantly increased kinase activity using myelin basic protein as a substrate. The results suggest that PKC iota should be included in the atypical subgroup of PKCs whose definitive member is PKC zeta. As such, PKC iota is unlikely to be activated by the diacylglycerol that is derived from phosphoinositide hydrolysis, but might be a target for novel lipid activators that are elevated during nutrient-stimulated insulin secretion.

Abstract
We present a VanderLugt-type optical phase-only correlator that uses the currently available liquidcrystal television. Theoretical and experimental results show that phase mismatching and phase and amplitude cross coupling of the liquid-crystal television can reduce the peak intensity to approximately 60%-70%. The imperfect phase-only filter yields on-axis correlation with high light efficiency and utilizes all the available space-bandwidth product of the liquid-crystal television.

Abstract
The expression of p53 gene has been found to be regulated during the induction of differentiation of U937 leukemic cells into mature macrophages by recombinant human granulocyte- macrophage colony stimulating factors (rhGM-CSF) We showed here that the increased expression of p53 seemed to be necessary for the differentiation of U937 cells induced by rh-GM-CSF. The inhibition of p53 expression by a p53 antisense oligodeoxynucleotide lead to the significant decrease of formation of mature macrophages from U 937 cells in the presence of rhGM-CSF. By contrast, the p53 sense oligodeoxynucleotide had no any effect. Furthermore, we have analysed the growth of U937 cells in the presence or absence of rhGM-CSF. The results showed that rhGM-CSF dramatically inhibited the growth of U 937 cells in the cultures. At the same time, the antisense inhibition experiment demonstrated that the inhibition of p53 expression partially diminished the growth-inhibitory effect of rhGM-CSF on U 937 cells. These results suggested that the p53 was required for the initiation of rhGM-CSF-induced differentiation of U 937 cells on one hand, and the inhibition of cell growth on the other hand. Thus we deduce that the increased expression of p53 induced by rhGM-CSF may be a coupling event of switch of U 937 cells from growth into differentiation.

Abstract
An inflammatory response was elicited in the rabbit eye by intracameral injection of platelet activating factor (PAF). PAF induced severe aqueous flare, corneal edema, pupillary constriction and marked biphasic changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) in a dose-dependent manner. All of the responses to PAF were inhibited by the PAF receptor antagonist, BN 52021 (20 mg/kg, i.p.). The cyclooxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin (30 mg/kg, i.p.) caused significant inhibition of the early phase PAF-induced aqueous flare, pupillary constriction and intraocular hypertension, but did not effect PAF-induced corneal edema or intraocular hypotension. NDGA (10 mg/kg, i.p.), a lipoxygenase inhibitor, did not inhibit the inflammatory effects of PAF. PAF-induced chemotactic response was evaluated by tissue chemiluminescence. Intracamerally injected PAF did not significantly increase chemiluminescence in cornea or iris-ciliary body, but intracorneal injection of PAF did cause a chemotactic response in both the conjunctiva and cornea. These data suggest that PAF may be an important mediator of intraocular inflammation and that some PAF-induced effects are prostaglandin dependent, while others may be independent of eicosanoid synthesis and release.

Abstract
The wavelet transform is a powerful tool for the analysis of short transient signals. We detail the advantages of the wavelet transform over the Fourier transform and the windowed Fourier transform and consider the wavelet as a bank of the VanderLugt matched filters. This methodology is particularly useful in those cases in which the shape of the mother wavelet is approximately known a priori. A two-dimensional optical correlator with a bank of the wavelet filters is implemented to yield the time-frequency joint representation of the wavelet transform of one-dimensional signals.

Abstract
In our previous paper we proposed using successively binary cosine and sine filters and combining the correlation intensities for rotation-invariant phase-only circular harmonic correlation. This paper presents an alternative method that uses a single filter. We present theory and optical and computer experimental results to show that, with a spatial frequency carrier, the binary phase-only filter [1, -1] and the binary filter [1, 0] yield the impulse response of a continuous phase-only filter. Compared with conventional computer-generated holographic filters, the binary phase-only filter and the binary filter have no representation-related error, require a minimum space-bandwidth product, and may be implemented in a spatial light modulator.

Abstract
Corner-cube retroreflectors with the dihedral angles slightly different from a right angle are proposed for optical chip-to-chip interconnections. The spot pattern of the corner cube may follow the shift of the source and is approximately invariant to the incident angle. This retroreflective property substantially reduces the requirement for alignment accuracy. The design of a corner cube for given source and image positions using a ray-tracing algorithm and iteration procedure is presented.

We propose combining the coordinates of the correlation peaks of multiple circular harmonic filters. The new method is used to detect objects from a cluttered noisy input scene. High cross-correlation peaks coming from clutter do not cause false alarms. Experimental results are shown.
