Abstract
This paper established a quantitative methodology for evaluating the velopharyngeal function (VPF) using NPF. The reliability of this method was testified. On the basis of this result, the observation of normal velopharyngeal function was carried out in 170 normal individuals. The authors presented the percentage of VPI during phonating five Chinese vowels, the highest one was "a" (52.3%), the lowest ones were "i" and "u" (7.1% and 5.3%). The extent of VPI was measured, the mean of "a"'s RVPI was 13.9%, and the means of "i"'s and "u"'s RVPI were 9.3% and 9.7% respectively. The authors suggested the RVPI "i" and RVPI "u" as two parameters for assessing VPF.

Abstract
We have investigated the spectroscopic properties of a crystalline sapphire fiber unintentionally doped with Cr(3+). We find that tensile stress produces blue shifts of the R lines and changes in their radiative lifetimes and integrated intensities that can be correlated to stress-induced changes of the crystal-field parameters.

Abstract
Experimental studies have indicated that macrophages are involved in the pathogenesis of syphilis. Whether macrophages alone or with immune serum are ultimately responsible for killing of treponemes is disputed. We have demonstrated that BCG-vaccinated hamsters administered normal serum contained fewer treponemes in the inguinal and popliteal lymph nodes than did the nonvaccinated controls. When BCG-vaccinated hamsters were injected with syphilitic immune serum and challenged with Treponema pallidum ssp. endemicum, treponemicidal activity was enhanced. Treponemicidal activity was also detected in BCG-vaccinated hamsters challenged with treponemes treated in vitro with immune serum and its immunoglobulin fractions, especially IgG2. The immune IgG2 fraction had more treponemicidal activity than did the immune IgG1 fraction and the unfractionated immune serum. Our observations indicate an important synergistic role for macrophages and immune serum, especially IgG2, for elimination of T. pallidum ssp. endemicum from the host.

Abstract
A human immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody secreting hybridoma, HMG1, has been established and studied for its reactivity against human gastric cancer cells. Lymphocytes isolated from a regional lymph node of patient with gastric adenocarcinoma were fused with mouse myeloma cells NS-1. Supernatants from the generated human-mouse hybrids were first screened for immunoglobulin production by ELISA. The identified human IgM-secreting hybridomas were expanded and subcloned for further analysis or cryopreservation. The screening for binding of antibodies to a panel of human cancer cell lines and normal fibroblast was carried out with PAP or indirect immunofluorescence stain. The selected hybridoma, HMG1 after being cloned three times, was stable in secreting IgM (about 4 micrograms/1 x 10(6) cells) for more than 9 months. Large amount of ascites was obtained by injecting this hybrid to BALB/C nude mice pretreated with anti-lymphocyte serum and pristane. The ascitic fluid contained 5-19 mg human Ig/ml. Subsequently this IgM was extracted from ascitic fluid by saturated ammonium sulphate solution. This crude extract was further purified with immuno-affinity chromatography. Both this purified ascite-IgM as well as IgM from HMG1 supernatant would react with gastric cancer cell line BGC-823 but not with human normal fibroblasts 350Q by PAP or immunofluorescence analysis. The human HMG1-IgM reacted with gastric cancer cells on paraffin embedded tissue section but did not react with normal gastric mucosa cells. HMG1-IgM had some complement dependent cytotoxicity against BGC-823. These results suggest that the establishment of anticancer human monoclonal antibodies with human-mouse hybridoma technique be feasible. There is a possibility for clinical applications of this human monoclonal antibody in the future.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Abstract
1) The J-integral is path independent in both PS and SEN specimens and equals the tearing energy. 2) The critical J-integral at initiation is less in PS specimens than in SEN specimens, because the greater biaxial stress in PS restricts the process zone. 3) At initiation, the crack-tip radius, proportional to the local strain, is independent of CB. 4) The energy density within and the size of the process zone near the crack tip increase with CB; these are major contributions to CB reinforcement.

Abstract
Twenty-two plasma free amino acid contents from 22 primary liver cancer (PLC) patients were assayed by means of HPLC and compared with those from 16 normal subjects. The results showed that in PLC patients, plasma total amino acid (TAA), branched chain amino acid (BCAA), glycogenic amino acid, glutamine, histidine and arginine were lowered, while plasma aromatic amino acid (AAA) and methionine did not decrease significantly resulting in the BCAA/AAA ratio decline. Comparing 8/22 subclinical and 14/22 clinical liver cancers with healthy controls respectively, it was found that there was a decrease of plasma TAA, glutamine, arginine, histidine, BCAA and BCAA/AAA ratio, and an increase of tyrosine, in subclinical stage of PLC. It suggests that alteration of most amino acids occur in the early stage of PLC and become more obvious in the moderate and late stages. The changes of plasma amino acid contents in PLC were different from those in chronic liver diseases. The alteration of plasma amino acid contents in subclinical stage of PLC suggests that the disturbance of amino acid metabolism be resulted from malignancy. Correction of the amino acid metabolic disturbance in PLC patients may enhance the inhibition of tumor growth and improve the host metabolism and anti-cancer effect.

Abstract
The effect of subcutaneous injections of Brucella abortus strain 19 antigen on the specific localization of autologous lymphocytes in the regional nodes of calves was analysed by fluorescent labelling and flow cytometry. Both in vitro and in vivo FITC labelling of lymphocytes indicated the preferential migration of lymphocytes from a previously challenged lymph node to a recently challenged lymph node. However, lymphocytes from a lymph node challenged with B. abortus failed to localize preferentially in a lymph node challenged with a control antigen, Listeria monocytogenes. Lymph node cells, enriched for T lymphocytes and isolated from primary stimulated or secondary challenged B. abortus lymph nodes, could proliferate when cultured with autologous antigen-pulsed macrophages. The kinetics of [3H]thymidine incorporation in lymphocytes from secondarily challenged lymph nodes occurred earlier and to a greater extent when compared with lymphocytes from primary challenged lymph nodes. Our data show that the accumulation of B. abortus-specific lymphocytes in secondarily challenged lymph nodes is increased by the presence of the specific antigen.

Abstract
Pneumococcal cell wall induces meningeal inflammation in rabbits injected intracisternally with greater than 10(5) cell equivalents. Both of the major cell wall components, teichoic acid and peptidoglycan, contribute to this inflammatory activity although responses differ depending on the chemical nature, size, and complexity of these fractions. Challenge with teichoic acid (membrane or wall associated) results in greater inflammation at 5 hr than at 24 hr. Degraded teichoic acid is inactive. In contrast, the inflammation caused by whole cell wall or high-molecular-weight peptidoglycan-containing fractions increases in intensity from 5 to 24 hr. Peptidoglycan fractions lose activity at 24 hr when hydrolyzed to disaccharide-stem peptide moieties. Generation of free cell wall components in cerebrospinal fluid as, for example, during treatment with antibiotics that are bacteriolytic as well as bactericidal, could contribute to increased inflammation in the subarachnoid space.

Abstract
This report appears to be the first ultrastructural study of the maculopathy and peripheral pigmentary retinopathy in myotonic dystrophy. Nine eyes from five patients observed during life are described. The findings were similar in all eyes, the retinal pigment epithelium in the macular region containing an accumulation of lipofuscin in large hyperpigmented cells. Pigment-laden profiles found in the subpigment epithelial space or subretinal space were interpreted as an attempt to discharge the pigment. Stress fibres of actin microfilaments were thrown into prominence by the irregularity of the pigment epithelium. In the periphery migration of retinal pigment cells into the retina occasionally resulted in the formation of bone corpuscles around occluded vessels, as occurs in retinitis pigmentosa; but more often the clumps were coarser and surrounded basement membrane material. Central and peripheral epiretinal membranes were also observed.
