Abstract
Orange peel and sugar beet pulp contain large quantities of pectin, which can be turned via galactaric acid into furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) and its esters. In this work, we show the polymerisation of these FDCA esters into high-molecular-weight, 70-100 kg/mol, poly(ethylene 2,5-furanoate) (PEF). PEF is an emerging bio-based alternative for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), widely used in for example packaging applications. Closing the loop, we also demonstrated and confirmed that PEF can be hydrolysed by enzymes, which are known to hydrolyse PET, back into FDCA for convenient recycling and recovery of monomers.

Innovations in hydrogel-based manufacturing: A comprehensive review of direct ink writing technique for biomedical applications. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 324:103095. [PMID: 38301316 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2024.103095] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/03/2024]
Abstract
Direct ink writing (DIW) stands as a pioneering additive manufacturing technique that holds transformative potential in the field of hydrogel fabrication. This innovative approach allows for the precise deposition of hydrogel inks layer by layer, creating complex three-dimensional structures with tailored shapes, sizes, and functionalities. By harnessing the versatility of hydrogels, DIW opens up possibilities for applications spanning from tissue engineering to soft robotics and wearable devices. This comprehensive review investigates DIW as applied to hydrogels and its multifaceted applications. The paper introduces a diverse range of printing techniques while providing a thorough exploration of DIW for hydrogel-based printing. The investigation aims to explain the progress made, challenges faced, and potential trajectories that lie ahead for DIW in hydrogel-based manufacturing. The fundamental principles underlying DIW are carefully examined, specifically focusing on rheological attributes and printing parameters, prompting a comprehensive survey of the wide variety of hydrogel materials. These encompass both natural and synthetic variations, all of which can be effectively harnessed for this purpose. Furthermore, the review explores the latest applications of DIW for hydrogels in biomedical areas, with a primary focus on tissue engineering, wound dressing, and drug delivery systems. The document not only consolidates the existing state of DIW within the context of hydrogel-based manufacturing but also charts potential avenues for further research and innovative breakthroughs.

Production of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid Methyl Esters from Pectin-Based Aldaric Acid: from Laboratory to Bench Scale. CHEMSUSCHEM 2024; 17:e202300732.

Abstract
2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is one of the most attractive emerging renewable monomers, which has gained interest especially in polyester applications, such as the production of polyethylene furanoate (PEF). Recently, the attention has shifted towards FDCA esters due to their better solubility as well as the easier purification and polymerisation compared to FDCA. In our previous work, we reported the synthesis of FDCA butyl esters by dehydration of aldaric acids as stable intermediates. Here, we present the synthesis of FDCA methyl esters in high yields from pectin-based galactaric acid using a solid acid catalyst. The process enables high substrate concentrations (up to 20 wt %) giving up to 50 mol % FDCA methyl esters with total furancarboxylates yields of up to 90 mol %. The synthesis was successfully scaled up from gram-scale to kilogram-scale in batch reactors showing the feasibility of the process. The stability of the catalyst was tested in re-use experiments. Purification of the crude product by vacuum distillation and precipitation gave furan-2,5-dimethylcarboxylate with a 98 % purity.

Abstract
Cationically modified chitosan derivatives exhibit a range of appealing characteristics, with a particular emphasis on their antimicrobial potential across a broad spectrum of biomedical applications. This study aimed to delve deeper into quaternary chitosan (QC) derivatives. Through the synthesis of both homogeneously and heterogeneously dual-quaternized chitosan (DQC), utilizing AETMAC ([2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl]-trimethylammonium chloride) and GTMAC (glycidyl trimethylammonium chloride), a permanent charge was established, spanning a wide pH range. We assessed structural differences, the type of quaternary functional group, molecular weight (Mw), and charge density. Intriguingly, an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior was observed in AETMAC-functionalized QC. To our knowledge, it is a novel discovery in cationically functionalized chitosan. These materials demonstrated excellent antimicrobial efficacy against model test organisms E. coli and P. syringae. Furthermore, we detected concentration-dependent cytotoxicity in NIH-3T3 fibroblasts. Striking a balance between antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity becomes a crucial factor in application feasibility. AETMAC-functionalized chitosan emerges as the top performer in terms of overall antibacterial effectiveness, possibly owing to factors like molecular weight, charge characteristics, and variations in the quaternary linker. Quaternary chitosan derivatives, with their excellent antibacterial attributes, hold significant promise as antibacterial or sanitizing agents, as well as across a broad spectrum of biomedical and environmental contexts.

pH-Responsive Near-Infrared Emitting Gold Nanoclusters. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202312679.

Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) fluorophores with pH-responsive properties suggest merits in biological analyses. This work establishes a general and effective method to obtain pH-responsive NIR emissive gold nanoclusters by introducing aliphatic tertiary amine (TA) groups into the ligands. Computational study suggests that the pH-responsive NIR emission is associated with electronic structure change upon protonation and deprotonation of TA groups. Photo-induced electron transfer between deprotonated TA groups and the surface Au-S motifs of gold nanoclusters can disrupt the radiative transitions and thereby decrease the photoluminescence intensity in basic environments (pH=7-11). By contrast, protonated TA groups curb the electron transfer and restore the photoluminescence intensity in acidic environments (pH=4-7). The pH-responsive NIR-emitting gold nanoclusters serve as a specific and sensitive probe for the lysosomes in the cells, offering non-invasive emissions without interferences from intracellular autofluorescence.

Isotope effects in dynamics of water isotopologues induced by core ionization at an x-ray free-electron laser. STRUCTURAL DYNAMICS (MELVILLE, N.Y.) 2023; 10:054302.

Abstract
Dynamical response of water exposed to x-rays is of utmost importance in a wealth of science areas. We exposed isolated water isotopologues to short x-ray pulses from a free-electron laser and detected momenta of all produced ions in coincidence. By combining experimental results and theoretical modeling, we identify significant structural dynamics with characteristic isotope effects in H2O2+, D2O2+, and HDO2+, such as asymmetric bond elongation and bond-angle opening, leading to two-body or three-body fragmentation on a timescale of a few femtoseconds. A method to disentangle the sequences of events taking place upon the consecutive absorption of two x-ray photons is described. The obtained deep look into structural properties and dynamics of dissociating water isotopologues provides essential insights into the underlying mechanisms.

Sensitivity of the Kβ″ X-ray Emission Line to Coordination Changes in GeO 2 and TiO 2. J Phys Chem Lett 2023; 14:1848-1853.

Abstract
The hard X-ray Kβ″ emission line shows sensitivity with respect to a wide range of cation-ligand coordination, which we investigate in the cases of GeO2 and TiO2 on the basis of ab initio spectral calculations on amorphous and crystalline structures. In compressed amorphous GeO2, the sampling of a large number of instantaneous coordination polyhedra from an ab initio molecular dynamics trajectory reveals that the functional relation between the Kβ″ shift and coordination is close to linear between 4-fold and 7-fold coordination. A similar sensitivity of the Kβ″ emission line exists in the coordination range between six and nine of crystalline high-pressure TiO2 polymorphs. Our results demonstrate the potential of the Kβ″ emission line in research on the structure of amorphous oxide material.

Emulator-based decomposition for structural sensitivity of core-level spectra. ROYAL SOCIETY OPEN SCIENCE 2022; 9:220093.

Abstract
We explore the sensitivity of several core-level spectroscopic methods to the underlying atomistic structure by using the water molecule as our test system. We first define a metric that measures the magnitude of spectral change as a function of the structure, which allows for identifying structural regions with high spectral sensitivity. We then apply machine-learning-emulator-based decomposition of the structural parameter space for maximal explained spectral variance, first on overall spectral profile and then on chosen integrated regions of interest therein. The presented method recovers more spectral variance than partial least-squares fitting and the observed behaviour is well in line with the aforementioned metric for spectral sensitivity. The analysis method is able to independently identify spectroscopically dominant degrees of freedom, and to quantify their effect and significance.

A new benchmark of soft X-ray transition energies of Ne , CO 2 , and SF 6 : paving a pathway towards ppm accuracy. THE EUROPEAN PHYSICAL JOURNAL.

Abstract
ABSTRACT A key requirement for the correct interpretation of high-resolution X-ray spectra is that transition energies are known with high accuracy and precision. We investigate the K-shell features of Ne , CO 2 , and SF 6 gases, by measuring their photo ion-yield spectra at the BESSY II synchrotron facility simultaneously with the 1s-np fluorescence emission of He-like ions produced in the Polar-X EBIT. Accurate ab initio calculations of transitions in these ions provide the basis of the calibration. While the CO 2 result agrees well with previous measurements, the SF 6 spectrum appears shifted by ∼ 0.5 eV, about twice the uncertainty of the earlier results. Our result for Ne shows a large departure from earlier results, but may suffer from larger systematic effects than our other measurements. The molecular spectra agree well with our results of time-dependent density functional theory. We find that the statistical uncertainty allows calibrations in the desired range of 1-10 meV, however, systematic contributions still limit the uncertainty to ∼ 40-100 meV, mainly due to the temporal stability of the monochromator energy scale. Combining our absolute calibration technique with a relative energy calibration technique such as photoelectron energy spectroscopy will be necessary to realize its full potential of achieving uncertainties as low as 1-10 meV.

Abstract
Polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) are a potential solution to the large-scale production of low-power consuming organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs). When used as the device gating medium in OTFTs, PILs experience a double-layer capacitance that enables thickness independent, low-voltage operation. PIL microstructure, polymer composition, and choice of anion have all been reported to have an effect on device performance, but a better structure property relationship is still required. A library of 27 well-defined, poly(styrene)-b-poly(1-(4-vinylbenzyl)-3-butylimidazolium-random-poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (poly(S)-b-poly(VBBI+[X]-r-PEGMA)) block copolymers, with varying PEGMA/VBBI+ ratios and three different mobile anions (where X = TFSI-, PF6 - or BF4 -), were synthesized, characterized and integrated into OTFTs. The fraction of VBBI+ in the poly(VBBI+[X]-r-PEGMA) block ranged from to 100 mol % and led to glass transition temperatures (T g) between -7 and 55 °C for that block. When VBBI+ composition was equal or above 50 mol %, the block copolymer self-assembled into well-ordered domains with sizes between 22 and 52 nm, depending on the composition and choice of anion. The block copolymers double-layer capacitance (C DL) and ionic conductivity (σ) were found to correlate to the polymer self-assembly and the T g of the poly(VBBI+[X]-r-PEGMA) block. Finally, the block copolymers were integrated into OTFTs as the gating medium that led to n-type devices with threshold voltages of 0.5-1.5 V while maintaining good electron mobilities. We also found that the greater the σ of the PIL, the greater the OTFT operating frequency could reach. However, we also found that C DL is not strictly proportional to OTFT output currents.

Multiscale Hierarchical Surface Patterns by Coupling Optical Patterning and Thermal Shrinkage. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2021; 13:15563-15571.

Abstract
Herein, a simple hierarchical surface patterning method is presented by effectively combining buckling instability and azopolymer-based surface relief grating inscription. In this technique, submicron patterns are achieved using azopolymers, whereas the microscale patterns are fabricated by subsequent thermal shrinkage. The wetting characterization of various topographically patterned surfaces confirms that the method permits tuning of contact angles and choosing between isotropic and anisotropic wetting. Altogether, this method allows efficient fabrication of hierarchical surfaces over several length scales in relatively large areas, overcoming some limitations of fabricating multiscale roughness in lithography and also methods of creating merely random patterns, such as black silicon processing or wet etching of metals. The demonstrated fine-tuning of the surface patterns may be useful in optimizing surface-related material properties, such as wetting and adhesion, producing substrates that are of potential interest in mechanobiology and tissue engineering.

Abstract
We demonstrate a widely applicable technique to absolutely calibrate the energy scale of x-ray spectra with experimentally well-known and accurately calculable transitions of highly charged ions, allowing us to measure the K-shell Rydberg spectrum of molecular O_{2} with 8 meV uncertainty. We reveal a systematic ∼450 meV shift from previous literature values, and settle an extraordinary discrepancy between astrophysical and laboratory measurements of neutral atomic oxygen, the latter being calibrated against the aforementioned O_{2} literature values. Because of the widespread use of such, now deprecated, references, our method impacts on many branches of x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Moreover, it potentially reduces absolute uncertainties there to below the meV level.

Manipulation
of self-assembly behavior of copolymers via environmental
change is attractive in the fabrication of smart polymeric materials.
We present tunable self-assembly behavior of graft copolymers, poly(sulfobetaine
methacrylate)-graft-poly[oligo(ethylene glycol) methyl
ether methacrylate)-co-di(ethylene glycol) methyl
ether methacrylate] (PSBM-g-P(OEGMA-co-DEGMA)). Upon heating the aqueous solutions, the graft copolymers
undergo a transition from micelles with PSBM cores to unimers (i.e.,
individual macromolecules) and then to reversed micelles with P(OEGMA-co-DEGMA) cores, thus demonstrating the tunability of the
self-assembling through temperature change. In the presence of salt
the temperature response of PSBM is eliminated, and the structure
of the micelles with the P(OEGMA-co-DEGMA) core changes.
Moreover, for the graft copolymer with long side chains, micelles
with aggregation number ∼ 2 were formed with
a PSBM core at low temperature, which is ascribed to the steric effect
of the P(OEGMA-co-DEGMA) shell.

Abstract
Curly fur is a common phenotype in many dog breeds, known to result from a missense variant (c.451C>T) in exon 2 of the keratin 71 (KRT71) gene. During screening for this variant across various breeds, we found that Curly Coated Retrievers (CCRs) fixed with the trait did not carry the known variant. By analysis of whole-genome sequencing data of one CCR we identified a novel genetic cause for curly fur. We found a novel structural variant in exon 7 of the KRT71 gene (c.1266_1273delinsACA) that was predicted to result in a frameshift and stop loss, therefore significantly affecting the structure of the protein, if translated. The variant was also found at lower frequencies in five other breeds, including Lagotto Romagnolo, Bichon Frise, Spanish Water Dog, Chesapeake Bay Retriever and Irish Terrier. One curly-coated Lagotto carried neither of the two KRT71 variants. These results identify a second variant for curly coat in KRT71 and suggest the existence of additional alleles. This study enables the development of an additional KRT71 gene test for breeders to understand and manage coat types.

Abstract
We present calculations on the quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects in 1s and 2s single and double ionization potentials of noble gases from Ne to Rn as perturbations on relativistic four-component Dirac-Fock wavefunctions. The most dominant effect originates from the self-energy of the core-electron that yields corrections of similar order as the transverse interaction. For 1s ionization potentials, a match within few eV against the known experimental values is obtained, and our work reveals considerable QED effects in the photoelectron binding energies across the periodic table-most strikingly even for Ne. We perform power-law fits for the corrections as a function of Z and interpolate the QED correction of ∼-0.55 eV for S1s. Due to this, the K-edge electron spectra of the third row and below need QED for a match in the absolute energy when using state-of-the-art instrumentation.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the response of cells to boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) carrying fluorescent probes or drugs in their inner channel by assessment of the cellular localization of the fluorescent cargo, evaluation of the in vitro release and biological activity of a drug (curcumin) loaded in BNNTs. METHODS Cells treated with curcumin-loaded BNNTs and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide were assessed for nitric oxide release and stimulation of IL-6 and TNF-α. The cellular trafficking of two cell-permeant dyes and a non-cell-permeant dye loaded within BNNTs was imaged. RESULTS BNNTs loaded with up to 13 wt% fluorophores were internalized by cells and controlled release of curcumin triggered cellular pathways associated with the known anti-inflammatory effects of the drug. CONCLUSION The overall findings indicate that BNNTs can function as nanocarriers of biologically relevant probes/drugs allowing one to examine/control their local intracellular localization and biochemical effects, leading the way to applications as intracellular nanosensors.

Abstract
Selective targeting of diseased cells can increase therapeutic efficacy and limit off-target adverse effects. We developed a new tool to selectively perforate living cells with functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and near-infrared (NIR) femtosecond (fs) laser. The receptor CD44 strongly expressed by cancer stem cells was used as a model for selective targeting. Citrate-capped AuNPs (100 nm in diameter) functionalized with 0.01 orthopyridyl-disulfide-poly(ethylene glycol) (5 kDa)-N-hydroxysuccinimide (OPSS-PEG-NHS) conjugated to monoclonal antibodies per nm(2) and 5 μM HS-PEG (5 kDa) were colloidally stable in cell culture medium containing serum proteins. These AuNPs attached mostly as single particles 115 times more to targeted CD44(+) MDA-MB-231 and CD44(+) ARPE-19 cells than to non-targeted CD44(-) 661W cells. Optimally functionalized AuNPs enhanced the fs laser (800 nm, 80-100 mJ cm(-2) at 250 Hz or 60-80 mJ cm(-2) at 500 Hz) to selectively perforate targeted cells without affecting surrounding non-targeted cells in co-culture. This novel highly versatile treatment paradigm can be adapted to target and perforate other cell populations by adapting to desired biomarkers. Since living biological tissues absorb energy very weakly in the NIR range, the developed non-invasive tool may provide a safe, cost-effective clinically relevant approach to ablate pathologically deregulated cells and limit complications associated with surgical interventions.

Abstract
A closed-circle miniature flow cell for high X-ray photon flux experiments on radiation-sensitive liquid samples is presented. The compact cell is made from highly inert material and the flow is induced by a rotating magnetic stir bar, which acts as a centrifugal pump inside the cell. The cell is ideal for radiation-sensitive yet precious or hazardous liquid samples, such as concentrated acids or bases. As a demonstration of the cell's capabilities, X-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy data on the oxygen K-edge of liquid water under ambient conditions are presented.

Abstract
A compilation of procedures for planning and performing X-ray Raman scattering (XRS) experiments and analyzing data obtained from them is presented. In particular, it is demonstrated how to predict the overall shape of the spectra, estimate detection limits for dilute samples, and how to normalize the recorded spectra to absolute units. In addition, methods for processing data from multiple-crystal XRS spectrometers with imaging capability are presented, including a super-resolution method that can be used for direct tomography using XRS spectra as the contrast. An open-source software package with these procedures implemented is also made available.

Abstract
Although silver nanoparticles (NPs) are increasingly used in various consumer products and produced in industrial scale, information on harmful effects of nanosilver to environmentally relevant organisms is still scarce. This paper studies the adverse effects of silver NPs to two aquatic crustaceans, Daphnia magna and Thamnocephalus platyurus. For that, silver NPs were synthesized where Ag is covalently attached to poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). In parallel, the toxicity of collargol (protein-coated nanosilver) and AgNO₃ was analyzed. Both types of silver NPs were highly toxic to both crustaceans: the EC50 values in artificial freshwater were 15-17 ppb for D. magna and 20-27 ppb for T. platyurus. The natural water (five different waters with dissolved organic carbon from 5 to 35 mg C/L were studied) mitigated the toxic effect of studied silver compounds up to 8-fold compared with artificial freshwater. The toxicity of silver NPs in all test media was up to 10-fold lower than that of soluble silver salt, AgNO₃. The pattern of the toxic response of both crustacean species to the silver compounds was almost similar in artificial freshwater and in natural waters. The chronic 21-day toxicity of silver NPs to D. magna in natural water was at the part-per-billion level, and adult mortality was more sensitive toxicity test endpoint than the reproduction (the number of offspring per adult).

Abstract
Optical emission spectroscopy has been for long proposed for monitoring and studying industrial steel making processes. Whereas the radiative decay of thermal excitations is always taking place in high temperatures needed in steel production, one of the most promising environment for such studies are electric arc furnaces, creating plasma in excited electronic states that relax with intense characteristic emission in the optical regime. Unfortunately, large industrial scale electric arc furnaces also present a challenging environment for optical emission studies and application of the method is not straightforward. To study the usability of optical emission spectroscopy in real electric arc furnaces, we have developed a laboratory scale DC electric arc furnace presented in this paper. With the setup, optical emission spectra of Fe, Cr, Cr2O3, Ni, SiO2, Al2O3, CaO, and MgO were recorded in the wavelength range 250-600 nm and the results were analyzed with the help of reference data. The work demonstrates that using characteristic optical emission, obtaining in situ chemical information from oscillating plasma of electric arc furnaces is indeed possible. In spite of complications, the method could possibly be applied to industrial scale steel making process in order to improve its efficiency.

Abstract
Aqueous solution and water-air interfacial properties of associative thermally responsive A-B-A stereoblock poly(N-isopropylacryl amide), PNIPAM, polymers were studied and compared to atactic PNIPAM. The A-B-A polymers consist of atactic PNIPAM as a hydrophilic block (either A or B) and a water-insoluble block of isotactic PNIPAM. The surface tensions of aqueous PNIPAM solutions were measured as a function of both temperature and concentration. The isotactic blocks did not have an effect on the surface activity of the solutions. Rheological measurements on the water-air interface showed that the aggregated PNIPAMs containing isotactic blocks increased the elasticity of the surface significantly as compared to the atactic reference upon heating. Two fluorescence probes, pyrene and (4-(dicyanomethylene)-2-methyl-6-(4-dimethylaminostyryl)-4H-pyran (4HP), added to the aqueous polymer solutions were concluded to reside in surroundings with lower polarity and increased microviscosity in cases when the polymers contained isotactic blocks, as compared to ordinary atactic polymers.

Abstract
In this work, the photofragmentation subsequent to valence and Cd4d photoionization of cadmium dichloride (CdCl(2)) were studied using He I and synchrotron excitation. The measurements were performed with a photoelectron-photoion coincidence (PEPICO) setup, and the connection between the singly ionized electronic states and cationic fragments was investigated. The valence-ionized states were found to lead to CdCl(2)(+), Cd(+) and CdCl(+). The Cd4d(- 1) states were found to lead only to Cl(+) ions. The observed charge transfer effect between Cd and Cl was concluded to take place due to internal conversion or fluorescence decay to dissociating valence states either directly or through consecutive fragmentation. The fragmentation energetics were investigated with molecular ab initio calculations, and the calculated energies were found to agree with the detected fragment appearances.

Abstract
Double photoionization spectra of the CS(2) molecule have been recorded using the TOF-PEPECO technique in combination with synchrotron radiation at the photon energies hν=220, 230, 240, 243, and 362.7 eV. The spectra were recorded in the S 2p and C 1s inner-shell ionization regions and reflect dicationic states formed out of one inner-shell vacancy and one vacancy in the valence region. MCSCF calculations were performed to model the energies of the dicationic states. The spectra associated with a S 2p vacancy are well structured and have been interpreted in some detail by comparison to conventional S 2p and valence photoelectron spectra. The lowest inner-shell-valence dicationic state is observed at the vertical double ionization energy 188.45 eV and is associated with a (2p(3/2))(-1)(2π(g))(-1) double vacancy. The spectrum connected to the C 1s vacancy shows a distinct line at 310.8 eV, accompanied by additional broad features at higher double ionization energies. This line is associated with a (C 1s)(-1)(2π(g))(-1) double vacancy.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to find out the proper ways to promote and to start a noise control programme in small and medium size industries. The situation of the noise control programme was inspected in four industrial enterprises. The noise exposure and the noise sources were studied and recommendations for noise reduction were given. The information concerning the noise control programme and noise levels was given to the personnel. How the noise control programme was started in the companies and which were the best ways to promote the programme were examined after 1 year. Noise reduction work was carried out in companies during the past year and new ideas were awaiting investment. The systematic noise control programme was not written on paper or connected to a risk management programme. The lack of proper models of a programme, lack of time and knowledge of easy means to reduce the noise were reasons for missing noise control programmes. The best ways to push up the noise control programme were to give information and examples of the programme. The EU-directive concerning machines and its noise information was a help in the noise reduction work connected with new investments.

Abstract
We have measured non-evaporative, cutaneous heat loss using heat flux transducers at eight skin sites in five children during anaesthesia and compared the data with basal metabolic heat production. The effect of disposable surgical covering and a radiant heater on heat flux was examined. The mean total heat flow rate before draping was 3-9 W higher than the basal metabolic rate after induction of anaesthesia with a simultaneous decrease in rectal temperature. Mean cutaneous heat loss was 62 (SD 9) W m-2 (9.5 (2.1) kJ kg-1 h-1) in children older than 1 yr and 84 W m-2 (17.2 kJ kg-1 h-1) in a 3-month-old infant. Disposable drapes diminished cutaneous heat loss by 29% and a radian heater by 77%. Heat conduction to the mattress was 21 (7) W m-2. These results showed that the decrease in core temperature after induction of anaesthesia was genuine cooling, that is heat loss exceeded heat production.

Abstract
An inquiry was sent to all railway maintenance workers in three railway districts in Finland and hand-arm vibration was measured on the handlebars of tools used by maintenance workers. The study group included 252 (82%) subjects, whose mean age was 41 years and who had worked in track maintenance for 14 years (SD 9). In Finland there are over 600 railway maintenance workers who use vibrating tools. The frequency-weighted acceleration of hand-arm vibration was calculated according to the ISO 5349 standard. Hand-held tamping machines had caused most of the vibration exposure, and aw4h was 10.6 m/s2 measured on the handlebar of tamping machine, but many workers also used other vibrating tools. The annual vibration level was 2.5 m/s2 when the use of all vibrating tools and the exposure time was taken into account. In the questionnaire the prevalence of vibration-induced white finger (VWF) was 14% in the entire material, and the prevalence of VWF increased significantly with the total duration of the maintenance work. In addition, 39% of the subjects had suffered numbness of the hands, and the prevalence of hand numbness also increased significantly with the total duration of maintenance work. According to the measurements of vibration and the prevalence of hand symptoms the present investigation indicates vibration syndrome as being related to railway track maintenance work. In the exposure group, where tamping machines mainly were used and exposure to other vibration was small, the prevalence of VWF was also significantly higher, but the prevalence of hand numbness insignificant compared with the control group. In this study vascular and nerve hand symptoms were considered to cause serious trouble in work by 4-11% of the maintenance workers.

Abstract
Hand-arm vibration was measured on the handlebars of terrain vehicles (N = 36) and a postal inquiry was made among N = 2705 reindeer herders (snowmobile drivers). Since many subjects had also used other vibrating tools the snowmobile group proper (N = 334) was established. In the whole group 19% of the subjects reported having experienced white finger attacks and 48% numbness of the hands. The frequency-weighted acceleration of snowmobile vibration was 3.5 m/s2, and risk evaluation using the ISO 5349 standard predicted the prevalence of white finger well in the snowmobile group proper. The vibration levels were 1.6-7.9 m/s2 on snowmobiles, 5.5-11.8 m/s2 on all-terrain vehicles and 6.9-12.7 m/s2 on terrain motorcycles. The most critical points for damping the vibration were the motor mounting and resonance in the steering yoke. There is need for health care, technical improvements, and other protection means to reduce the symptoms of vibration in driving terrain vehicles.

Abstract
Mean skin temperature and changes in body heat content were calculated in several different ways from measurements made in five children during operation. Mean skin temperatures were calculated from 162 sets of measurements using 15, 12, eight, seven and four skin sites with various formulae modified according to age. The results of other formulae were compared with age-adjusted, area-weighted 15-site mean skin temperature which was used as a reference. Changes in body heat content were calculated from Burton's equation in different ways and errors from different variables in the formula were evaluated. Mean skin temperature from 12 skin sites was within 0.5 degrees C of the 15-point reference method, and that from four sites within 1 degree C. The core temperature selected and the weighting coefficients used in calculating mean body temperature were more important sources of error in the determination of change in body heat content than was mean skin temperature.

Abstract
The relationship between structure, activity, and stability of the thermostable Bacillus stearothermophilus alpha-amylase was studied by site-directed mutagenesis of the three most conserved residues. Mutation of His-238 to Asp involved in Ca2+ and substrate binding reduced the specific activity and thermal stability, but did not affect the pH and temperature optima. Replacement of Asp-331 by Glu in the active site caused almost total inactivation. Interestingly, in prolonged incubation this mutant enzyme showed an altered end-product profile by liberating only maltose and maltotriose. Conservative mutation of the conserved Arg-232 by Lys, for which no function has yet been proposed, resulted in lowered specific activity: around 12% of the parental enzyme. This mutant enzyme had a wider pH range but about the same temperature optimum and thermal stability as the wild-type enzyme. Results obtained with different mutants were interpreted by computer aided molecular modeling.

Abstract
The effect of high dose medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) on serum lipids, on adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and serum lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase activities were studied in 15 postmenopausal patients with endometrial cancer. After 2 weeks of MPA treatment total cholesterol decreased by 14% (P less than 0.001) and HDL cholesterol by 33% (P less than 0.01) from the respective pretreatment values; correspondingly the ratio of HDL to total cholesterol decreased (P less than 0.05). The decrease of HDL2 cholesterol was 35% (P less than 0.01) and that of HDL3 cholesterol 15% (P less than 0.01). The levels of serum triglycerides decreased significantly (P less than 0.05) during the treatment period. Serum LCAT activity was significantly lower (P less than 0.05) after treatment than before, but adipose tissue LPL activity was not altered. The mean serum testosterone level decreased significantly (P less than 0.001) from the pretreatment values. Significant positive correlations were present between LPL activity and MPA concentrations and between LPL activity and testosterone concentrations after the drug treatment.

Abstract
1 The effect on plasma lipids of pindolol given orally over a 6 month period to 20 patients with essential hypertension was studied. 2 During therapy an adipose tissue biopsy was taken from nine patients for the determination of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity and serum samples were taken for lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) assays. An additional biopsy and serum samples were taken after a 3 weeks' break in pindolol treatment. 3 Plasma free fatty acid and triglyceride concentrations remained similar during treatment. 4 Plasma total cholesterol was slightly lower (P less than 0.05) at 6 months than at 1 month. 5 HDL cholesterol concentration and the ratio of HDL to total cholesterol increased slightly, and the increase of HDL-cholesterol was significant (P less than 0.05) at 1 month. 6 LCAT activity was significantly higher (P less than 0.01) during pindolol treatment than after the break in it. No significant changes in adipose tissue LPL activities were found before and after the break of treatment.
