Power spectral analysis of normal and pathological brainstem auditory evoked potentials.

The brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) recording has become a powerful investigational tool in neurological diagnosis. The BAEPs of patients have different latencies and morphologies when compared to those of normals. In this paper the power spectra (PS) of BAEPs of 21 normals, 17 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and 12 patients with head injury (HI) computed by Blackman-Tukey (BT) and Maximum Entropy (ME) methods are examined for their frequency composition. Three major peaks appear at approximately 170 Hz, 520 Hz and 950 Hz in PS of normal BAEPs. The average power contained in the frequency bands spread around these frequency bands for BAEPs of patients differed significantly (P less than 0.05) from those of normal BAEPs. The peaks observed in ME spectra were found to match those computed using BT method. The model order for representing both normal and patient BAEPs is greater than 40 and data compression afforded by modelling the BAEPs is of the order of 5:1.

Spectral analysis of Fe(III)-complex reduction by hemoglobin: possible mechanisms of interaction.

1. Hemoglobin is capable of electron transfer to Fe(III)-complexes of ATP, EDTA, NTA, and citrate leading to formation of reduced Fe(II) and its concurrent release from these chelating compounds as evident in the formation of a Fe(II)-Tris 2,2' bipyridine complex. 2. Multi-component analysis of kinetic spectra in the visible region (700-500 nm) has permitted a determination of the effect of various chelating molecules bound to Fe(III), pH, the effects of ionic strength, temperature, and the molecular nature of the Fe(III)-complex on reaction rates. 3. We have examined and compared the reactivities of normal adult hemoglobin A (alpha 2 beta 2) to reduce these Fe(III)-complexes and suggest possible mechanism(s) for the electron transfer process.

13C-NMR spectral analysis of the structures of mouse immunoglobulin G1 carrying allotypes a and j.

A novel 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method is described for the detection of subtle structural differences between mouse immunoglobulins carrying different allotypes. Fc fragments of mouse IgG1 antibodies carrying allotypes a and j have been selectively labeled with [1-13C]methionine. 13C-NMR spectra have shown that the microenvironment around Met-398 is significantly different for the two kinds of allotypes. Peptide mapping and amino acid sequence analyses have revealed that Val-406 of IgG1 carrying allotype a is substituted for Ile in the case of allotype j. X-ray crystallographic data indicate that Met-398 is in close spatial proximity to Val (Ile)-406. We therefore conclude that the 13C-NMR method can provide us with a novel spectroscopic probe for the structural characterization of allotypic markers.

Power spectral analysis of electromyographic signal of masticatory muscles at rest position and habitual clench.

Thirteen normal subjects were selected for this investigation. At the vertical dimension of rest position and habitual clench, their myoelectric activities of the masseter, anterior and posterior temporal, and digastric muscles on the left and right sides were simultaneously sampled and processed by computer, and the mean power frequency (MPF) and the mean amplitude (MA) of the myoelectric signal were calculated. At rest position, the temporal muscles were major muscles and the MPF differences of various masticatory muscles were not significant. At habitual clench, with the increase in MA, the MPF of various muscles increased. The results show that MPF may have application in describing a central tendency of myoelectrical signal frequency distribution and in evaluating recruitment of motor units. MPF and MA are the quantitative indices reflecting masticatory muscle function.
