Abstract

Objectives/Interrogation: Volar locking plate fixation is one of the most common surgical treatments in distal radius fracture. Careful attention during placing the plate and fixating the fracture needs to be payed not to injure soft tissues, especially median nerve, radial artery and flexor pollicis[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL], 14th Triennial Congress of the International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand (IFSSH), 11th Triennial Congress of the International Federation of Societies for Hand Therapy (IFSHT), 11th Triennial Congress of the International Federation of Societies for Hand Therapy (IFSHT)

Abstract

We measured changes in plasma ghrelin and GH concentrations in mature Holstein cows and 3-mo-old female Holstein calves fed at scheduled times. Our objective was to determine the characteristics of ghrelin secretion in dairy cattle and its influence on GH. Animals were fed at 0800 and 1600 for 2 wk before and during experiments. Plasma was sampled for 24 h at 2-h intervals in Exp. 1. In mature cows, plasma ghrelin concentrations decreased (P < 0.01) just after 0800 but not at the 1600 feeding. Ghrelin concentrations were lower (P < 0.01) in calves than in mature cows and they did not decrease after feeding in calves. The temporal relationship between ghrelin and GH remained unclear. In Exp. 2, plasma was sampled 2 h before and after both morning and evening feedings at 20-min intervals. Plasma ghrelin concentrations decreased (P < 0.05) 40 min after 0800 feeding and 60 min after 1600 feeding in mature cows. These results indicate that in mature cows, plasma ghrelin concentration decreased after feeding, but this decrease was not evident in 3-mo-old calves. Further studies are required to define the relationship between plasma ghrelin and GH concentrations. Key Words: Calves, Cows, Feeding, Ghrelin, Growth Hormone

Abstract

We examined the effect of added Mo[O.sub.3] on the initial permeability and other material characteristics in order to develop Mn-Zn ferrites with a high permeability. It was found that although Mo[O.sub.3] addition could expand the diameters of crystalline grains, it could also promote porosity, thereby impeding grain growth. When the amount of Mo[O.sub.3] was increased, the grain diameter expanded, peaked, and then gradually declined under the influence of porosity. However, by prolonging the top-temperature sintering period to curb porosity, it was possible to realize the grain-growth-promotion effect of Mo[O.sub.3]. Thus, we confirmed that high-permeability MnZn ferrites could be obtained using a sintering technique which would enhance ferrite density.

Abstract

A study of the magnetic properties and magnetostriction of grain-oriented (Tb(x)Dy(1-x))(Fe(1-y)Mn(y))1.95 compounds, prepared by Bridgman method, indicates an enhancement of lambda(100) and lowering of spin reorientation temperature with Mn substitution. Applying suitable stress induces good thermal stability and large magnetostriction in low applied fields when x is 0.5 and y is 0.1. This compound finds use in giant magnetostrictive actuators.

Abstract

Introduction 76Br is of interest for in vivo PET imaging applications. Its relatively long half-life (16.1 h) allows use not only on small molecules but also proteins which have slow excretion as carrier molecules. Irradiation using a low energy proton beam (~ 20 MeV) on an enriched Cu276Se target, followed by dry distillation with thermal chromatography, is one of the best methods to obtain sufficient amounts of 76Br for clinical applications1,2. However, the thermal chromatography is plagued by poor reproducibility and appears unsuitable for automation of its production, leading us to remove the thermal chroma-tography from the dry distillation. In this investigation we employed H2O solution to collect 76Br and optimized the distillation condition using a small amount of 77Br (57.0 h). We also produced large amount of 76Br under the optimized conditions to evaluate the dry distillation method. Material and Methods Target preparation and dry distillation were conducted based on the methods described in previous reports1,2. To produce 77Br, Cu2natSe target was irradiated with 20 MeV proton beams (5 µA) accelerated by AVF cyclotron in the Japan Atomic Energy Agency. The following two systems were used in the dry distillation optimization studies; (1) an initial system was composed of two furnaces, a main and an auxiliary furnace. Temperature of each furnace was set at 1050 °C (main) and 200 °C (auxiliary) respectively; (2) the second system was made of one large furnace composed of heating and cooling area. Temperature of the heating area was varied from 1050 to 1120 °C. In both systems PTFE tubing, leading to a H2O solution (15 mL), was inserted into the apparatus. The irradiated target was heated under streaming Ar gas (30 mL/min.). An enriched Cu276Se target (76Se enrichment: 99.67%) was used for 76Br production. Radioactivity was measured on a high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector coupled to a multichannel analyzer. TLC analyses were conducted on Al2O3 plates (Merck) using 7:1 acetone:H2O as the eluting solvent. Results and Conclusion Low efficiency (33 %) of 77Br recovery was ob-served in the initial system. Distribution of radioactivity inside the apparatus showed that 35 % was trapped in the PTFE tube and the quartz tube. The recovery yield was increased up to 54 % when the auxiliary furnace was turned off, indicating that the temperature gradient inside the quartz tube is suitable to carry 77Br effectively to the H2O trap. We initially used a quartz boat to place the irradiated target in the furnace, but found that using a reusable tungsten backing was better. However, we found that recovery yield was dramatically reduced to 18 %. The studies where the temperature was varied showed that releasing efficiency was increased up to 100 % at the temperature of 1120 °C. Good recovery yield (~ 77 %) was achieved after optimizing the temperature gradient (FIG. 1b). Using the optimized setup, 76Br production runs (n = 6) have been conducted, allowing us to recover up to 39.8 MBq/µAh (EOB) of 76Br. High specific activity (~4400 GBq/µmol) was obtained in the final solution. TLC analysis showed that chemical form obtained was bromide. We concluded that the dry distillation using H2O trap is capable of providing enough high purity 76Br for clinical applications.

Abstract

As a first step for clarifying coercivity mechanism in high-performance permanent magnet, the effect of particle size on coercivity in [Sm.sub.2][Fe.sub.17][N.sub.3] was studied by mechanically grinding method without exposing in air. The coercivity increases with increasing the grinding time, reaches a maximum value of 1.23 T at grinding time for 60 min and gradually decreases beyond 90 min grinding. The resultant maximum energy product reaches up to 329 kJ/[m.sup.3] for 60 min grinding. However, the coercivity of 1.23 T is still too small compared with the anisotropy field, suggesting that the surface effect controls the coercive force in this system, rather than the size effect. Index Terms--[Sm.sub.2][Fe.sub.17][N.sub.3], high-pressure nitrogenation process, mechanical grind, zinc, coercivity (coercive force)
