Heart rate variability (HRV), a measure of cardiac autonomic control, was analyzed in infants to assess the hypothesis that early undernutrition may induce autonomic dysfunction that could play a role in the programming of later cardiovascular disease. HRV data were collected during a night session in 546 healthy infants at 5-12 weeks of adjusted age, and statistical associations with fetal and postnatal growth indices were established. A significant positive correlation between birth weight, the ratio of neonatal weight to head circumference and postnatal weight gain, and HRV indices mostly influenced by sympathetic activity was demonstrated in 11- and 12-week-old infants. A slight correlation (p > 0.05) was also found in younger infants. These data suggest the influence of fetal and postnatal growth on the programming of the autonomic nervous system beyond the neonatal period. This influence may be one of the important mechanisms that link impaired growth in fetal and infant life to high blood pressure and other cardiovascular disease during childhood and adulthood (the Barker hypothesis).

Follicular dendritic cells (FDC) are unique non-lymphoid cells found only in lymph follicles. They play a part in the survival, proliferation and differentiation of B cells. To analyse the influence of FDC on B-lymphocyte proliferation, we isolated them from human tonsils on albumin gradients and treated them with mitomycin C to prevent the multiplication of lymphoid cells harboured in their cytoplasmic evaginations. FDC cultured for 12-16 h remained attached to the substrate; non-adherent cells were carefully eliminated by washing. Purified B cells cultured alone or with contaminant-cleared FDC were maintained for 2 days in the presence or absence of various stimulants, after which tritiated thymidine uptake by these cells was measured. In the absence of activators, FDC did not induce B-cell multiplication. B cells cultured in the presence of FDC exhibited increased 3H-TdR uptake when activated with anti-CD40 MoAb, anti-immunoglobulin MoAb or transferrin, but not when stimulated with Staphylococcus aureus strain Cowan I (SAC) at a given concentration. In the latter case, B-cell proliferation clearly decreased. In control cocultures where mitomycin-C-treated non-adherent cells were used instead of FDC in the presence of the different stimulants, no increase in B-cell proliferation was observed. The results suggest that, inside the germinal centres, FDC modulation of B-cell proliferation depends on the activation state of the B cells and on the stimulant encountered. [less ▲]

The influence of friction on elasto-plastic material in nanoindentation

A comprehensive computational study is undertaken to identify the influence of friction in nanoindentation of elasto-plastic materials, the impacts of friction on calculation results with conical and spherical indenters are shown in this paper. The results clearly demonstrate that, for some elasto-plastic materials, the P  h curves obtained either by spherical or conical indenters with different friction coefficients cannot be distinguished. However, if utilizing the parameter  (see text for details), to quantify the deformation of piling-up or sinking-in, it is easy to find that the influence of friction on piling-up or sinking-in in nanoindentation is significant. Therefore, the material parameters derived from the projected area will have a large error caused by the influence of friction. In this paper, the maximum error on hardness can reach 14% for some elastic materials. These results do not agree with those from researchers who stated that instrumented indentation experiments are not significantly affected by friction. Moreover, in conical indentation, friction can effectively restrain the slip on the interface between indenter and specimen, which leads to a decrease in the amount of piling-up or increase in the amount of sinking-in. However, when the half apex angle is large enough, the influence of friction becomes a minor factor in indentation. In spherical indentation, the amount of piling-up decreases or of sinking-in increases with an increasing friction coefficient. But the friction is independent of the radius of spherical indenter, the piling-up or sinking-in obtained by two different spherical indenters with varying friction coefficients are nearly identical.

We present a study of the influence of air height on the pattern formation at the onset of interfacial convection in a liquid -gas bilayer. Bilayer convection results from interaction of two immiscible, superposed fluid layers and it is a transport problem that is affected by the ratios of various thermophysical properties and geometries. By using both calculations and experiments, a new convection-coupling mechanism is revealed. When the gas depth is low the convection is dominant in the liquid. It is of the Rayleigh Marangoni type and subcritical convection may be seen for axisymmetric patterns at the onset. For large gas heights the convection in the upper fluid layer simultaneously generates transverse thermal gradients along the fluid-fluid interface immediately causing surface tension gradient and buoyancy driven-convection in the lower fluid. The convection in the gas is of the Rayleigh type and the self-adjoint nature of the mathematical problem is depicted in the experiment wherein no subcritical motion occurs. In both the calculations and the experiment, silicone oil and air were used as the two fluids. As the viscosity of air is quite low compared to the silicone oil, convection in the air has no mechanical influence on the silicone oil and it is this property that is advantageous in isolating the new convection mechanism. The correspondence between theory and experiment is excellent. [less ▲]
