Abstract
The plat castable ceramic crown was made with investment material prepared in our college with our own casting technique by a Chinese-made casting machine. The accuracy and fitness of the crown were studied and appraised. Results show that the margin of fitness is 46 microns and that the cement film thickness of the dies in the spacer material group is 65.13 microns. Hence the results are satisfactory. The Plat castable ceramic crown might be used in clinical dentistry.

Abstract
Our understanding of the biology and origins of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) derives from studies of cultured isolates from urban populations experiencing epidemic infection and disease. To test the hypothesis that such isolates might represent only a subset of a larger, genetically more diverse group of viruses, we used nested polymerase chain reactions to characterize HIV-2 sequences in uncultured mononuclear blood cells of two healthy Liberian agricultural workers, from whom virus isolation was repeatedly unsuccessful, and from a culture-positive symptomatic urban dweller. Analysis of pol, env and long terminal repeat regions revealed the presence of three highly divergent HIV-2 strains, one of which (from one of the healthy subjects) was significantly more closely related to simian immunodeficiency viruses infecting sooty mangabeys and rhesus macaques (SIVSM/SIVMAC) than to any virus of human derivation. This subject also harboured multiply defective viral genotypes that resulted from hypermutation of G to A bases. Our results indicate that HIV-2, SIVSM and SIVMAC comprise a single, highly diverse group of lentiviruses which cannot be separated into distinct phylogenetic lineages according to species of origin.

Abstract
The DNA synthesis of mouse retina from the 19th prenatal day through 12 months postnatal has been studied by light microscopic radioautography after the injection of tritiated thymidine. A peak of the labeling index after incorporation of tritiated thymidine was found at fetal day 19. The labelled cells decreased gradually with the developing of the eye from the first postnatal day and were completely disappeared in two weeks after birth. The data also indicated obvious regional differences of the incorporation of tritiated thymidine during the periods of the retina development. The labeling index was the greatest in the anterior region compared to the equator region and the posterior region in the same group of age. The average number of the silver grains in labelled nucleus lead to a decrease with the development of the retina after birth, but there was no significant regional differences found in the same group of age. The data shown from this study suggest that the cell differentiation in mouse retina proceed from posterior to anterior region.

Abstract
To investigate the glycoprotein determinants of viral cytopathology, we constructed chimeric env genes between a noncytopathic strain of human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2), designated HIV-2/ST, and a highly fusogenic and cytopathic variant derived from this virus. Expression of the resulting chimeric glycoproteins indicated that efficient syncytium formation in the human T-cell line Sup T1 mapped to the C-terminal region of the transmembrane (TM) glycoprotein subunit. In this region, the wild-type and cytopathic ST glycoproteins differed by only four amino acids and by the presence of a premature termination codon in the cytopathic variant. Subsequent site-directed mutagenesis indicated that the cytoplasmic domain truncation was responsible for the enhanced fusion activity. This modification, however, increased the fusion activity of the glycoprotein only in Sup T1 cells (in which the ST variant arose) but not in Molt 4 clone 8 or peripheral blood mononuclear cells. These observations indicate that the length of the cytoplasmic domain of the HIV-2 glycoprotein modulates the fusion activity of the exterior glycoprotein complex in a cell-specific manner. Such adaptability appears to permit the emergence of fusogenic variants during HIV-2 passage in vitro and may also regulate viral growth or cytopathic effects in selected cell types during natural infection in vivo.

Abstract
Reference adducts formed by reaction of deoxyribonucleosides with the ultimate carcinogenic forms of benzo[a]pyrene (BP), BP radical cation and BP diol epoxide, are essential for identifying the structures of adducts formed in biological systems. Electrochemical oxidation of BP in the presence of dG or dA produces adducts from BP radical cation. When 8 equiv of charge are consumed, four adducts are formed with dG: 7-(BP-6-yl)Gua, 8-(BP-6-yl)Gua, N2-(BP-6-yl)dG and 3-(BP-6-yl)dG. With 2 equiv of charge, however, only 7-(BP-6-yl)Gua and 8-(BP-6-yl)dG (BP-6-C8dG) are formed. Anodic oxidation of BP-6-C8dG affords 8-(BP-6-yl)Gua. Anodic oxidation of BP in the presence of dA produces 7-(BP-6-yl)Ade. Reaction of BP diol epoxide with dG yields 10-(guanin-7-yl)-7,8,9-trihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroBP, whereas reaction with dA affords three adducts, 10-(adenin-7-yl)-7,8,9-trihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroBP and two isomers of 10-(deoxyadenosin-N6-yl)-7,8,9-trihydroxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydroBP . On the basis of comparative kinetic studies among adducts of aromatic hydrocarbons and dG or G, only BP-6-C8dG easily loses the sugar moiety, providing a basis for a mechanism of hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond.

Abstract
Peak velocity of saccadic eye movements was studied in six healthy volunteers who received either 0.9% sodium chloride (as a control) or a stepwise rising propofol infusion regime of 0.24, 0.6 and 1.5 mg kg-1 h-1, which produced arterialized venous concentrations equivalent to 1%, 6% and 13% of the estimated EC50 for propofol. The infusion lasted for 75 min (25 min at each infusion rate) and was followed by a 2-h post-infusion recovery period. Peak saccadic velocity was highly significantly depressed during the 15-25-min period after the start of the second and third propofol infusions compared with saline. The relationship between arterialized venous blood concentration and peak saccadic velocity was similar during recovery when concentrations were falling to that during increasing blood propofol concentrations. Peak saccadic velocity decreased linearly with increasing log10 propofol concentration in the range of 25-800 ng ml-1 (14% of control per decade). Measured arterialized venous-blood propofol concentrations were variable, and systematically greater than computer predictions at the two higher infusion rates. In only half the subjects were the subjective assessments significantly correlated with log10 propofol concentrations or with percentage reduction in peak saccadic velocity.

Abstract
Peak velocity of saccadic eye movements was studied in six healthy volunteers who were each given, on separate days, 5% and 10% MAC of nitrous oxide (5% and 10% end-tidal) or of isoflurane (0.06% and 0.12% end-tidal) or air, each gas for 25 min. Subjective assessment following each treatment was also undertaken. No significant difference was found between air and either 5% or 10% nitrous oxide. However, significant differences occurred at 15 and 25 min after 0.06% isoflurane compared with air (P less than 0.05) and highly significant differences were present 5, 15 and 25 min after 0.12% isoflurane when compared with air and nitrous oxide (P less than 0.01). In contrast, there was little difference between the three gases by subjective assessment.

Abstract
A synthetic five-part molecular device has been prepared that uses a multistep electron transfer strategy similar to that of photosynthetic organisms to capture light energy and convert it to chemical potential in the form of long-lived charge separation. It consists of two covalently linked porphyrin moieties, one containing a zinc ion (P(Zn)) and the other present as the free base (P). The metailated porphyrin bears a carotenoid polyene (C) and the other a diquinone species (Q(A)-Q(B)). Excitation of the free-base porphyrin in a chloroform solution of the pentad yields an initial charge-separated state, C-P(Zn)-P(.+).-Q(A)(-)-Q(B), with a quantum yield of 0.85. Subsequent electron transfer steps lead to a final charge-separated state, C(.+)-P(Zn)-P-Q(A)-Q(B)(.-), which is formed with an overall quantum yield of 0.83 and has a lifetime of 55 microseconds. Irradiation of the free-base form of the pentad, C-P-P-Q(A)-Q(B), gives a similar charge-separated state with a lower quantum yield (0.15 in dichloromethane), although the lifetime is increased to approximately 340 microseconds. The artificial photosynthetic system preserves a significant fraction ( approximately 1.0 electron volt) of the initial excitation energy (1.9 electron volts) in the long-lived, charge-separated state.

Abstract
The clinical classification and characteristics of various types of plateau sickness were reported after analysing 13,403 such cases in Tibet region. The conception of plateau sickness and the opinion of its classification in China and abroad were discussed and the names suggested for various types of the disease were also given. However, the rationality of different classifications of the sickness was questioned according to the present understanding of its pathology and clinical manifestations. It is the opinion of the authors to divide this sickness, first of all, into two categories of acute and chronic and then to subdivide each of them into several types according to clinical symptoms and the pathological changes of principally encroached organs. The acute category was subdivided into 4 types as follows: 1. high altitude acute response (HAAR); 2. high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE); 3. high altitude cerebral edema (HACE); 4. high altitude children cardiopathy (HACC). The chronic category was subdivided into 5 types as follows: 1. high altitude chronic response (HACR); 2. high altitude erythoblastosis (HAEb); 3. high altitude adult cardiopathy (HAAC); 4. high altitude hypertension (HAHyper); 5. high altitude hypotension (HAHypo). This classification is useful in clinical practice and research.

Abstract
The rat alpha 2u globulin gene family is composed of about 25 members with closely related structure. Several of these genes are transcriptionally active in the liver of adult males. We isolated about 50 independent genomic clones from the library and determined complete nucleotide sequences of two. Although they were alike and revealed structural features prerequisite for active genes, one cloned gene was interrupted in the 6th intron with about 900 bp 5' truncated and 3'-terminal triplicated form of LINE 1 sequence flanked by 16 bp complete direct repeat originating from the 6th intron. Within the inserted LINE 1 an excellent splicing acceptor homologue with a precedent lariat junction motif and multiple polyadenylation signals was identified. Thus, the possible production of a chimeric RNA, the last exon of which would be replaced by a part of LINE 1, has to be considered.

Abstract
The tensile bond strengths of Comspan (a conventional resin used with composite-bonded prostheses) and Panavia EX (a newer adhesive bonding material) to different types of amalgam were determined. The results were compared with the tensile bond strengths of these resins to etched bovine enamel and properly prepared Rexillium III. The results showed that all of the resin-amalgam bond strengths were statistically less than those of bonding resin to etched bovine enamel or Rexillium III. Coverage of existing amalgam restorations by the metal framework with etched-metal resin-bonded retainers is contraindicated when using either the conventional bonding agent or the new adhesive bonding material, Panavia EX.

Abstract
Rat alpha 2 mu globulins are coded for by a family of about 25 structurally related genes, some of which are expressed in the male adult liver while the other subset seems to be active in several excretory organs, including salivary and lacrymal glands. To estimate the number and specificity of genes expressed in the salivary glands, we determined nucleotide sequences of 30 cDNA clones. At least two alpha 2 mu globulin genes are active and two thirds of mRNAs were shown to code for the peptide two amino acids shorter than the others. Unexpected observation was the intense length polymorphism in the 3' non-coding 6th intron-7th exon regions presumably caused by alternative splice-acceptor selection. At least six acceptor sites were utilized and the longest type retained the entire 6th intronic sequence resulting in a formation of unusually longer product. A stable mRNA molecule of this type was demonstrated in salivary glands by Northern blotting probed with the 6th intron-specific fragment. Together with three independent polyadenylation sites, the rat salivary glands generate a diverse set of alpha 2 mu globulin mRNAs.

Abstract
Eleven clinical and pathological factors were eligible for study in relation to the survival of 617 female patients with breast cancer treated by radical mastectomy. All the patients have been followed for more than five years. The data were analyzed by the Cox's proportional hazards regression model. A final set of five independent significant prognostic factors was obtained. In order of importance, they were clinical stage, age at diagnosis, axillary lymph node status, histologic type and size of the primary. To test the time-dependency of these factors using Cox's model, all except age reduced their prognostic impact significantly after five years, however, age was a powerful prognostic factor for long-term survival. A prognostic index based on the regression coefficients was constructed. This index can give a better prediction for our patients' survival and be taken as reference when formulating treatment protocols for breast cancer.
