Electron microscopical localizations of ATPase
No full textUsing an in situ cytochemical staining technique, ATPase activity was localized within tissues with the electron microscope. Activity was seen in association with the axolemma, mitochondria and microtubules of neurones of the common garden snail, Helix aspersa, and the shore crab, Carcinus maenus. Using mammalian tissue, ATPase activity was demonstrated in association with the basement membrane of endothelial cells lining capillaries, nuclei, axolemma, tubular endoplasmic reticulum and microtubules of dendrites of the rat cerebral cortex.The localization of ATPase in association with neuronal microtubules was intensively investigated. Enzyme activity was preserved by I$ glutaraldehyde fixation but not by 2% or 3% glutaraldehyde. Heating to 70°C destroyed the enzyme localization. Omission of ATP or magnesium ions from the incubation medium prevented the localization of precipitation in association with microtubules. Chemical inhibitors, cysteine, sodium fluoride and ouabain, did not influence the precipitation in association with microtubules. The enzyme associated with neuronal microtubules showed a substrate specificity for ATP > GTP > CTP > UTP > ADP. The role of the microtubular ATPase and the possible mechanisms for the involvement of microtubules in axonal transport were discussed. The same in situ cytochemical staining technique was used to demonstrate ATPase within Tetrahymena vorax, a ciliated protozoan. The role of microtubules in the control of cilia motility and the maintenance of cell shape was discussed. Intracellular injection of electron dense markers, into single nerve cells of the snail sub-oesophageal ganglia and their examination under the electron microscope, were carried out to investigate the possible role of microtubules in the intra-axonal transport of material.</p
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.

Stakeholder perceptions on the role of community development corporations and resident participation
No full textCommunity Development Corporations (CDCs) were formed in the United States to address issues in urban communities and often work with municipal governments on these issues (Keating, 1997; Jennings, 2004). In some neighborhoods, CDCs seek to rebuild and revitalize communities that suffered from social unrest, while others react to the lack of government or inadequate programming addressing the economic and social maladies of urban communities. The work of CDCs requires the involvement of all community stakeholders – particularly city residents and public administrators. Does thedual relationship CDCs have with residents and local government suggest that they bring both closer together? This research studies this phenomenon by using Arnstein’s Ladder of Participation to examine the role CDCs play in cultivating citizen participation.Specifically, this study seeks to examine how community stakeholders perceive the roleCDCs play in fostering resident participation in local government. As a primary methodological tool for studying individual and group perspectives,Q-method was employed to empirically study community stakeholder perceptions ofCDCs. Key research findings suggest that: a) community stakeholders believe that CDCsare currently working to maintain the status quo of participation and advise that the Context of Conventional Participation (1995) is present, b) stakeholders overwhelmingly believe that CDCs should work to encourage participation that incorporates partnership, and c) there should be less distance between residents and decision making, thereby increasing opportunities for engagement. Through the exploration of the subjective, this study exposes the perspective ofresidents on citizen participation and identifies the need for a new direction of theory development that examines the creation of consensus and partnership building incommunity development organizations and initiatives. Furthermore, Conditions for Ideal Participation emerges from the data providing a practical guideline for strengthening participation in municipal government. Conclusions from this study have both theoretical and practical implications to the scholarly and administrative work comprised of public administration.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesIncludes vitaby Tia Sherée Gayno
