Dupuytren's Contracture is a nodular proliferation of the longitudinal fiber bundles of palmar fascia with its attendant contraction. The factors attributed to its etiology have included trauma, diabetes, alcoholism, arthritis, and auto-immune disease. The tissue has been observed by electron microscopy and found to contain myofibroblasts.Dupuytren's Contracture constitutes a scar, and as such, excessive collagen can be observed, along with an active form of fibroblast.Previous studies of the hypertrophic scar have led us to propose that integral in the initiation and sustenance of scar tissue is a profusion of microvascular regeneration, much of which becomes and remains occluded producing a hypoxia which stimulates fibroblast synthesis. Thus, when considering a study of Dupuytren's Contracture, we predicted finding occluded microvessels at or near the fascial scarring focus.Three cases of Dupuytren's Contracture yielded similar specimens, which were fixed in Karnovskys fluid for 2 to 20 days. Upon removal of the contracture bands care was taken to include the contiguous fatty and areolar tissue which contain the vascular supply and to identify the junctional area between old and new fascia.

The ultrastructure of the normal oral apparatus of Stentor has not been extensively studied. I report here on the ultrastructure of the buccal cavity of Stentor coeruleus.Stentor coeruleus was fixed in either a buffered mixture of osmium tetroxide and glutaraldehyde, or in buffered glutaraldehyde alone. Cells were then dehydrated and embedded in a mixture of Epon and Araldite.An extensive adoral zone of membranelles surrounds the anterior of the cell, and each membranelle consists of 2 parallel rows of cilia. These extend down into the buccal cavity. Two microtubular root fibers, or nemadesmata (Figs. 2 and 5), extend deeply into the cytoplasm from the base of each ciliary kinetosome. Mitochondria are usually closely associated with the root fiber bundles, and small vesicles are present between the nemadesmata of adjacent kinetosomes (Fig. 5). In the cytopharyngeal, non-ciliated areas of the buccal cavity, microtubular ribbons which extend into the cytoplasm are aligned perpendicular to the plasma membrane of the buccal cavity (Figs. 1 and 2).

Particles of BN,and C are added in amounts of 1 to 40% to SiC and Si3N4 ceramics in order to improve their mechanical properties. The ceramics are then processed by sintering, hot-pressing and chemical vapor deposition techniques to produce dense products. Crack deflection at the particles can increase toughness. However the high temperature strength and toughness are determined byphase interactions in the environmental conditions used for testing. Examination of the ceramics by transmission electron microscopy has shown that the carbon and boron nitride particles have a fibrous texture. In the sintered aSiC ceramic the carbon appears as graphite fiber bundles in the triple junctions and as compact graphite particles within some grains. Examples of these inclusions are shown in Fig. 1A and B.

In this paper, we establish some optimal inequalities for the squared mean curvature in terms warping functions of a C-totally real doubly warped product submanifold of a locally conformal almost cosymplectic manifold with a pointwise ?-sectional curvature c. The equality case in the statement of inequalities is also considered. Moreover, some applications of obtained results are derived.

In the present article, we have investigated pointwise pseudo-slant submanifolds of Kenmotsu manifolds and have sought conditions under which these submanifolds are warped products. To this end first, it is shown that these submanifolds can not be expressed as non-trivial doubly warped product submanifolds. However, as there exist non-trivial (single) warped product submanifolds of a Kenmotsu manifold, we have worked out characterizations in terms of a canonical structure T and the shape operator under which a pointwise pseudo slant submanifold of a Kenmotsu manifold reduces to a warped product submanifold.
