Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of solid rocket propellants at 14.1 T.

Proton NMR images of solid propellant materials, consisting of a polybutadiene binder material filled with 82% solid particles, have been obtained at a magnetic field strength of 14.1 T and at a resolution of 8.5 x 8.5 micron. The images are the first of elastomeric materials obtained at a proton frequency of 600 MHz and have the highest spatial resolution yet reported. The images display a high contrast and are rich in information content. They reveal the distribution of individual filler particles in the polymer matrix as well as a thin polymer film of about 10-30 micron which is found to surround some of the larger filler particles.

Cytoplasmic streaming in Chara rhizoids: studies in a reduced gravitational field during parabolic flights of rockets.

In-vivo videomicroscopy of Chara rhizoids under 10(-4)g demonstrated that gravity affected the velocities of cytoplasmic streaming. Both, the acropetal and basipetal streaming velocities increased on the change to microgravity. The endogenous difference in the velocities of the oppositely directed cytoplasmic streams was maintained under microgravity, yet the difference was diminished as the basipetal streaming velocity increased more than the acropetal streaming velocity. Direction and structure of microfilaments labeled by rhodamine-phalloidin had not changed after 6 min of microgravity.

Quantitative determination of apolipoprotein A-I in high-density lipoproteins and 'free' apolipoprotein A-I by two-dimensional agarose gel lipoprotein-'rocket' immunoelectrophoresis of human serum.

A method has been developed for quantitative analysis of 'free' apolipoprotein A-I and apolipoprotein A-I associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in serum. The method utilizes the difference between the rate of electrophoretic migration of apolipoprotein A-I associated with HDL (alpha) and 'free' apolipoprotein A-I (pre-beta) in agarose gel. Apolipoprotein A-I is subsequently quantitated by electrophoresis in a second dimensional gel containing anti-apolipoprotein A-I antibodies. Using this method all apolipoprotein A-I of normal fasting serum was found associated with HDL (n = 16). By contrast, 'free' apolipoprotein A-I accounted for up to 12% of the total in the serum of patients with isolated hypertriglyceridemia (n = 8) or mixed hyperlipoproteinemia (n = 8). Between 30 and 35% of 'free' apolipoprotein A-I was found in one patient afflicted with the apolipoprotein C-II deficiency syndrome. Also, 'free' apolipoprotein A-I could be detected in normal postabsorptive serum. 30 and 90 min following heparin-enhanced lipolysis 'free' apolipoprotein A-I accounted for 23 and 20%, respectively, of the total apolipoprotein A-I of serum. Apolipoprotein A-I associated with HDL remained unaltered. It appears, therefore, that 'free' apolipoprotein A-I is liberated from triglyceride-rich lipoproteins during lipolysis.
