The Intracavitary Administration of AU 198

Description: At the Cancer Research Institute of the New England Deaconess Hospital radioactive colloidal gold has been given solely by the intracavitary route. To date 25 patients have been treated. These have been of two types: (a) patients with recurrent fluid formation of cardiocentesis in the pleural or peritoneal cavities; (b) patients with cardiocentesis of the lung in whom radiogold has been instilled post-operatively into the empty hemithorax. The use of AU198 in the first group of cases is now w… more

Structural Alterations in the Tissue Sections Associated with Embedding Following Freeze Drying

Description: Various types of tissue distortion and structural artifacts which occur in stained microscopic tissue sections are usually referred to as "fixation artifacts." These include, among other effects, shrinkage of cells (e.g. crenation of red cells, shrinkage of blood plasma away from vessel walls, and shrinkage of groups of cells producing microscopic empty spaces between structures within the tissue section. On the other hand, swelling and even rupture of cells (e.g. homolysis of red cells) is al… more

Thiomethyladenosine

Description: The mechanism of thiomethyladenosine accumulation in yeast was studied by attempting to substitute homocysteine methylmercaptane methylmercaptoethanol and methylome captopropionaldehyde for methionine as a specific precursor. Negative results militate against transmethylation as the underlying mechanism. Tracer studies with methyl-C14- and and S35-labeled methionine suggest transthiomethylation with intermediate formation of a thetin-like compound tentatively termed methionyladenosine. The occu… more

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Project. Progress Report for March 15, 1951 to September 1, 1951. Steady State Transients in Nuclear Resonance and the Nuclear Relaxation time. T2, for Hydrocarbons

Description: The Bloch formulation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is applied to a repeated pulsing of the external electromagnetic field H1. The steady-state solution is shown to predict the existence of sidebands, a mirror signal, and magnetic field inhomogeneity effects. All of these effects ae shown to be verified experimentally, thus strengthening the ap0plicibility of the Block formulation to transient problems. The solution given was used to determine T2 from the observed transient signals for liquid h… more

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Project. Progress Report III for 1 September 1951 to 15 March, 1952. Determination of the Accuracy of the Infinitely Repeated Pulse Method and the Observed Effects of Molecular Self Diffusion in Liquids

Description: The range of measurements of nuclear magnetic resonance by the infinitely repeated pulse method is higher than the slow passage method of Bloch. As the measurements approach 10-1 seconds the effect of viscosity or self diffusions becomes important. For liquid hydrocarbons this effect is such as to make the previously measured values for liquid hydrocarbons subject to severe revision. Several possibilities have recently become apparent for making this improvement.

Formability and Weldability of Vapor-Deposited Molybdenum

Description: The purpose of the investigation was to determine the applicability of vapor-deposited molybdenum in plumbing systems of the heat-exchanger type. Techniques were to be developed which could be used as a bases for methods of forming sheet and thin-walled tube out of this material, and also for methods of welding or otherwise joining the metal so formed. The properties of the metal in the worked, annealed, and welded condition were to be investigated.
