چکیده

ÐThe ototoxic damage that drugs such as neomycin, kanamycin, colistin, cisplatin, transplatin and carboplatin cause on outer and inner hair cells in postnatal day 3 rat cochlear explants was investigated. Phalloidin± ̄uorescein conjugate-stained stereocilia bundles of sensory hair cells were quanti®ed by video image analysis as a measurement of ototoxic e€ect. The video image quanti®cation system established dose±response curves for ototoxic drugs (e.g. calculation of an IC50) and allowed comparisons between several ototoxins from the same family. This methodology provided the means to assess the ecacy of otoprotectant agents in preventing ototoxicity. Poly-l-aspartate (10ÿ5 M) and poly-l-glutamate (10ÿ5 M) protected auditory hair cells from neomycin (10ÿ3 M) toxicity while reduced glutathione (10ÿ3 M) provided protection against cisplatin (10ÿ4 M)-induced hair cell damage. # 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

ÐA strain of Bacillus stearothermophilus was used as a model to study the interaction of tamoxifen (TAM) with the membrane and the cytostatic antiproliferative e€ects not related to estrogen binding. TAM inhibits the growth of B. stearothermophilus as a function of concentration. The supplementation of the growth medium with Ca or Mg partially relieves the growth inhibition by TAM, allowing gro...

A lower bound on the independence number of a graph

For a connected and non-complete graph, a new lower bound on its independence number is proved. It is shown that this bound is realizable by the well known efficient algorithm MIN.

ÐWe have established a new test concept for in vitro pharmacological trials. Our model employs tissue explants to test compounds for toxicity which arises with the metabolic interactions among di€erent cell types. Microsurgical preparation of tissue explants avoids the destruction of the organ-speci®c tissue architecture. Explants were mounted in tissue carriers to improve nutrition and handlin...

Unary PCF is Decidable

We show that unary PCF, a very small fragment of Plotkin’s PCF [?], has a decidable observational pre-order, and that its fully abstract model is effectively presentable. This is in marked contrast to larger fragments, where corresponding results fail [?]. The techniques used are adaptions of those of Padovani [?], who applied them to the minimal model of the simply typed lambda calculus.

One aim of this study was to investigate whether children of parents with panic disorder (CPAN) (n = 27) respond with higher levels of anxiety to internal stimuli (caused by voluntary hyperventilation) than children of parents with animal phobia (CPHOB) (n = 21) or children of healthy control parents (CCON) (n = 29). To test the specificity of the hypothesis, the second aim was to assess whethe...
