Abstract
A study was made of 11,425 crowns and 2,385 bridges which had been fabricated for 5,588 patients at the Prosthetic Clinic of Matsumoto Dental College during the fourteen-year period, from January 1973 to December 1986. Some of the results were as follows: 1. 753 patients, 1,585 crowns and 372 bridges in 1983 were the most numerous in all the survey years. 2. The rate of vital teeth of crowns has increased from 1984. 3. Of crowns, 22.1% and of bridge retainers, 22.3% were fabricated as porcelain fused to metal crown in 1985. 4. The rate of resin facing crowns of crowns and bridge retainers increased sharply in 1986. 5. Of crowns, 19.0% and of bridge retainers, 30.5% were fabricated as partial coverage crowns in 1986. 6. The rate of more than 5-unit bridges increased from 1982 to 1985.

Abstract
We review the mechanisms underlying the feedback regulation of pancreatic enzyme secretion in response to a meal. Pancreatic enzyme secretion in the rat and pig is known to be regulated by a negative feedback mechanism mediated by intestinal trypsin and chymotrypsin. Such a mechanism has recently been noted in humans. The presence of these enzymes in the small intestine suppresses pancreatic enzyme secretion, whereas their removal increases it. Two novel peptides have been proposed to account for the stimulation of pancreatic enzyme secretion in response to feeding trypsin inhibitor. One was assumed to be present in rat pancreatic juice and the other to be spontaneously secreted from the rat small intestine. In either case, trypsin and trypsin inhibitors do not directly interact with the luminal surface of the small intestine, but their actions are mediated by a trypsin-sensitive, cholecystokinin-releasing peptide. This is a novel explanation of the well-recognized stimulation of pancreatic enzyme secretion in response to dietary protein intake.

Abstract
DNA and nuclear proteins were transferred into cells simultaneously at more than 95% efficiency by means of vesicle complexes. The DNA was rapidly transported into the nuclei of cultured cells, and its expression reached a maximum within 6 to 8 hours after its introduction. Moreover, when the plasmid DNA and nuclear protein were cointroduced into nondividing cells in rat liver by injection into the portal veins of adult rats, the plasmid DNA was carried into liver cell nuclei efficiently by nuclear protein. The expression of the DNA in adult rat liver, on introduction of the DNA with nuclear protein, was more than five times as great as with nonnuclear protein.

Abstract
The neuropathology of rats with sacral agenesis were studied. On day 8 of gestation, Donryu rats were given an intraperitoneal injection of trypan blue (40 mg/kg), and the offspring were raised. Sixty (23.1%) out of 260 offspring showed abnormalities in the lower half of the body, tail of hind limbs, and the six-week survival rate of the rats with these abnormalities was 38.3%. The grown malformed rats showed complete or incomplete lumbosacral agenesis. In these rats, the spinal level of motor paralysis corresponded to the vertebral level of malformation, and the average spinal level of sensory disturbance was 4.1 segments lower than that of motor paralysis. In the lumbar enlargement of the spinal cord, the ventral horns and the ventral roots were more hypoplastic than the dorsal horns and the dorsal roots, which seemed to be the cause of the difference in the levels of motor paralysis and sensory disturbance. Rats displayed mirror movements of their hind limbs induced by a similar method, which might have resulted from dysplasia of the ventral region of the lumbar spinal cord.

Abstract
Immunohistochemical localization of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in normal salivary glands and tumours (108 cases) was studied using a monoclonal antibody. In the normal salivary glands, EGFR was occasionally detected in ductal segments of intercalated, striated, and excretory ducts, but not in acinar cells. The frequency of positive EGFR staining in salivary gland tumours was not high: pleomorphic adenoma, 33.8%; mucoepidermoid tumour, 25.0%; adenolymphoma, 44.4%; and sialoadenocarcinoma, 66.6%. Pleomorphic adenomas showed positive staining for EGFR on the luminal side of luminal cells and in squamous metaplastic cells of tumour tissue. Some modified myoepithelial cells were also reactive whereas outer spindle tumour cells were unstained. Adenolymphomas regularly exhibited positive EGFR staining in the cell membrane; mucoepidermoid carcinoma displayed positive staining in cell membranes in epidermoid tumour cells and cytoplasmic staining in mucous-secreting tumour cells. Sialocarcinomas revealed cell membrane staining and whole cytoplasmic staining for EGFR. The immunohistochemical localization of EGFR could be classified into two types, one the cell membrane-positive type found in epithelial tumour cells, and the second the cytoplasmic positive type seen in normal ductal cells, the luminal tumour cells of pleomorphic adenomas and mucous-secreting tumour cells.

Abstract
[48V]vanadyl-pheophorbide (48V-Pheo) was synthesized by insertion of 48V into pheophorbide (Pheo), a decomposition product from chlorophyll. At 24 h after injection, 48V-Pheo showed a clearer image of an FM3A tumor than inorganic 48V. This agent also accumulated in MH 134 and S 180 tumors as well as in FM3A tumors. The imaging efficiency was dependent on the affinity of Pheo for tumors. 48V-Pheo seems to be suitable as a tumor imaging agent in conjunction with photodynamic therapy.

Abstract
Cardiac output (CO), renal blood flow (RBF) and hepatic blood flow (HBF) were measured by the microsphere method before (control) and at 4 and 10 h after the induction of acute renal failure by intramuscular injection of glycerol in water-drinking, long-term saline-drinking and long-term captopril (converting enzyme inhibitor)-drinking rats. At 4 h after glycerol injection, CO, RBF and HBF significantly decreased in all three groups. At 10 h after glycerol injection, CO, RBF and HBF recovered to 88% of the respective control levels in only the saline-drinking rats, whereas CO, RBF and HBF further decreased to 53, 38 and 58% of the control levels, respectively in the captopril-drinking rats. At this time, not only acute renal failure but also hepatic disorder developed in the water-drinking and captopril-drinking rats as indicated by elevations of serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, alanine aminotransferase and other blood chemistry levels. The development of acute renal failure was not suppressed by captopril, but by long-term saline load. Thus, we conclude that the decrease in CO is an important variable of the early decrease in renal and hepatic perfusion in glycerol-induced acute renal failure, and that the early recovery of HBF as well as RBF may play an important role in preventing the development of acute renal failure.

Abstract
A new model is proposed for pancreatic enzyme secretion in response to food protein intake in rats. We have found a novel peptide in rat bile-pancreatic juice, which exhibits a trypsin-sensitive, cholecystokinin (CCK)-releasing activity. The amino acid sequence of the peptide purified from rat bile-pancreatic juice is very similar to that of a conservative region in pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI). The peptide loses its CCK-releasing activity during trypsin digestion, but food protein intake prevents this trypsin digestion. Results of a reconstitution experiment indicate that pancreatic enzyme secretion in response to food protein intake only occurs as a result of interaction between trypsin and our purified peptide. Also, a peptide-specific antibody abolished the response. These findings lead us to hypothesize that this peptide acts as an intraduodenal mediator for CCK release in response to food protein intake.

Abstract
Several glucocorticoids as a cream formulation were applied to the recto-anus of the croton-oil-induced hemorrhoid rat. Among the steroids tested, i.e. diflucortolone valerate (DFV), prednisolone (PS), hydrocortisone caproate (HC), and hydrocortisone (H), DFV was found to suppress inflammation most effectively. The effect of DFV was not affected by combination with lidocaine. In this model, the analgesic effect of lidocaine was apparently prolonged by an increase of the threshold for pain by the anti-inflammatory effect of DFV. This additive effect is regarded as a merit of the combination in Neriproct. Therapeutic effects of Neriproct and several anti-hemorrhoid drugs were also examined by using a hemorrhoid model with abrasive irritation compared to those obtained by the croton-oil model. In both models, efficacy of Neriproct was superior to that of the other drugs such as Scheriproct, Proctosedyl, Posterisan forte, Borraginol N, Posterisan and Borraza G. Microscopic observation showed that destruction of the mucus epithelium, necrosis of the mucus layer, infiltration of inflammatory cells and vasodilatation in the croton-oil model were also suppressed markedly by Neriproct application. No difference was observed in the efficacy between the cream and suppository formulation of Neriproct. Suppression of wound healing was found with a dosage of DFV lower than those of PS, HC and H. However, the efficacy ratio of the wound-healing suppression and anti-inflammation of DFV was the largest among the steroids tested.

Abstract
A hemorrhoid model was prepared by means of application of croton oil onto the recto-anus of rats. Cotton swab soaked with the inducer, which consisted of water, pyridine, diethylether and 6% croton oil in diethylether, was inserted into the anus. The following conditions were found to be optimal for preparing the model: cotton swab containing 0.16 ml of the inducer solution was applied to the anus of a 6 week-old rat (body wt. about 140 g) for 10 sec. The edema developed linearly until 7-8 hr after application, and the severity of the edema was sustained almost constantly for more than 24 hr. Macroscopic observations at 6 hr p. a. revealed homogeneous and consistent inflammation in the recto-anus applied region. Histological observation showed appearance of edema, infiltration of fibrin, inflammatory cells, vasodilation, blood congestion and medium to high degrees of necrosis in the mucosal epithelium. Thus this model was useful for evaluating the effect of anti-hemorrhoidal drugs on intumescence and vasodilatation. The efficacy of diflucortolone valerate, hydrocortisone caproate and hydrocortisone was evaluated in this model. Wet weight and vasopermeability increased by the inducer was suppressed strongly by simultaneous application of the corticoids, and the degree of suppression was parallel with the potency of the glucocorticoid activity. Compared to Scheriproct, Posterisan forte, Posterisan and Borraginol N, Neriproct showed the strongest effects in the protection against and treatment of the experimental hemorrhoid. Scheriproct, which was less active than Neriproct, was also found to have higher efficacy than the others.

Abstract
To test the hypothesis that alpha 2-adrenoceptor activity exerts a dual control of coronary blood flow, i.e., vasoconstriction and augmentation of the vasodilatory effect of adenosine, four doses of adenosine were infused into left anterior descending coronary artery before and during alpha 2-adrenoceptor stimulation or attenuation in anesthetized open-chest dogs. During a moderate alpha 2-adrenoceptor attenuation (yohimbine or rauwolscine, ic), which did not alter coronary blood flow (CBF) at the base-line condition, the hyperemic response of CBF to infused adenosine was markedly reduced, whereas during the potent attenuation both base-line CBF and adenosine-induced hyperemic CBF were significantly increased. Inversely, the moderate alpha 2-stimulation (0.03 microgram.kg-1.min-1 norepinephrine with prazosin, ic, or 0.04 microgram.kg-1.min-1 clonidine ic, under propranolol pretreatment) augmented the adenosine-induced coronary vasodilation, but the potent alpha 2-stimulation (0.3 microgram.kg-1.min-1 norepinephrine with prazosin ic, or 0.3 microgram.kg-1.min-1 clonidine ic) reduced both base-line CBF hyperemic CBF. In contrast, alpha 2-adrenoceptor activity did not affect papaverine-induced coronary vasodilation. Moreover, the reactive hyperemic flow after a brief coronary occlusion was reduced significantly during the moderate alpha 2-adrenergic attenuation, but it was augmented during the potent one. These results indicate that the moderate activation of the alpha 2-adrenoceptor augments the hyperemic response of CBF to both exogenous and endogenous adenosine, whereas the potent alpha 2-activation may mask this vasodilatory effect through the coronary vasoconstrictive effect.

Abstract
Capsaicin enhances adrenal medullary catecholamine secretion. The participation of the central nervous system on this enhancement by capsaicin was investigated in alpha-chloralose-urethan- or halothane-anesthetized rats. Intravenous administration of capsaicin caused a rapid and marked increase in adrenal sympathetic nerve activity. The nerve activity began to show an increase with the administration of capsaicin at a dosage of 20 micrograms/kg and significantly increased with a dosage of 200 micrograms/kg, i.e., capsaicin was found to cause a dose-dependent increase in adrenal nerve activity. Cholinergic blocking with hexamethonium bromide and atropine sulfate (1 and 5 mg/kg iv, respectively) attenuated the adrenal epinephrine secretion caused by capsaicin. The direct action of capsaicin on adrenal catecholamine secretion was examined using a retrograde perfusion system of left adrenal gland. Up to 8.2 X 10(-5) M capsaicin did not enhance catecholamine secretion from the adrenal gland. These results suggest that the enhancement of physiological catecholamine secretion by capsaicin is mainly through activation of the central nervous system.

Abstract
A useful method for preparing a synthetic peptide-carrying protein for specific antibody production was established. The monitor peptide is a trypsin-sensitive cholecystokinin-releasing peptide purified from rat pancreatic juice on the basis of its stimulatory activity toward pancreatic enzyme secretion. The NH2-terminus fragment of the monitor peptide (residues 1-14) was synthesized by a solid phase method. Cysteine at the COOH terminus of the fragment was conjugated with amino groups of myoglobin using a hetero-bifunctional reagent. Sequence analysis of the fragment-myoglobin conjugate indicated that the peptide/myoglobin conjugation ratio was about 1/1 (mol/mol). Antiserum against the conjugate from a rabbit effectively abolished the stimulatory activity of the monitor peptide in the rat small intestine.

Abstract
We recently reported that capsaicin, a pungent principle of hot red pepper, evokes catecholamine secretion from the rat adrenal medulla. In this study, the effects of some pungent principles of spices on adrenal catecholamine secretion were investigated as compared with that of capsaicin. An increase in catecholamine, especially epinephrine, secretion was observed not only on capsaicin infusion but also on piperine (a pungent principle of pepper) and zingerone (ginger) infusion. Even on infusion of the same amount (650 nmol/kg, i.v.), the order of potency as to catecholamine secretion was capsaicin much greater than piperine greater than or equal to zingerone. While, sulfur-containing and volatile pungent principles, allylisothiocyanate (mustard, etc.) and diallyldisulfide (garlic, etc.), did not even cause slight catecholamine secretion. Furthermore, these adrenergic secretagogues were readily transported via the gut into the body. These results indicate that some pungent principles of dietary spices can induce a warming action via adrenal catecholamine secretion.

Abstract
The effect of capsaicin pretreatment on adrenal catecholamine secretion induced by intravenously administered capsaicin was investigated in alpha-chloralose and urethane anesthetized rats. In neonatal vehicle pretreated rats, capsaicin (200 micrograms/kg, iv) caused a rapid and significant increase in adrenal epinephrine secretion, but neonatal capsaicin pretreatment (50 mg/kg, sc, on the 2nd day of life) significantly reduced both the basal and capsaicin-induced epinephrine secretion from the adrenal medulla. Adult capsaicin pretreatment (6 increasing doses/6 days, total 310 mg/kg, sc) also reduced both the basal and capsaicin-stimulated adrenal epinephrine secretion, though it was less effective compared with the neonatal capsaicin pretreatment. These results suggest the participation of capsaicin-sensitive neurons in capsaicin-induced catecholamine secretion from the adrenal medulla.

Abstract
A simultaneous micro-determination of nicotinamide and its major metabolites, N1-methyl-2-pyridone-5-carboxamide (2-py) and N1-methyl-4-pyridone-3-carboxamide (4-py) by high-performance liquid chromatography is described. The method employs a 7-ODS-L (250 mm X 4.6 mm I.D., particle size 7 microns) column eluted with 10 mM potassium dihydrogenphosphate-acetonitrile (96:4, v/v; pH adjusted to 3.0 by the addition of concentrated phosphoric acid) at a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min. The UV detector was set at 260 nm. The detection limits for nicotinamide, 2-py and 4-py were 10 pmol (1.22 ng), 2 pmol (304 pg) and 2 pmol (304 pg), respectively, at a signal-to-noise ratio 5:1. Isonicotinamide was used as an internal standard. The technique was applied to the analysis of rat and human urines. The total analysis time was ca. 15 min.

Abstract
Effects of neural blockages on pancreatic enzyme secretion in response to infusing fatty acid into the lumen were investigated using anesthetized rats, equipped with bile-pancreatic and duodenal cannulae, to evaluate the relative contribution of the neural and the hormonal mediations in the pancreatic response. Oleate (0.2 ml) was injected as a bolus into the rat duodenum, and the trypsin output in bile-pancreatic juice was monitored to determine the pancreatic enzyme secretion response with continuous return of bile-pancreatic juice to the intestine. When anticholinergic agents such as atropine sulfate and scopolamine were administrated, although basal level in pancreatic enzyme secretion fell, the increase of pancreatic enzyme secretion from basal level after stimulation by oleate was not significantly different from that of the control (no blockage). However, the ganglion blocker, hexamethonium, inhibited the pancreatic enzyme secretion in response to oleate by 94%. An adrenergic blocker, guanethidine, also led to as much of a decrease as the ganglion blocker-induced decrease. Adrenergic alpha- and beta-blockers partially, but not completely, inhibited the enzyme secretion. Adrenergic blockage also suppressed the basal level in pancreatic enzyme secretion. On the other hand, a specific CCK antagonist, proglumide, significantly inhibited pancreatic enzyme secretion induced by oleate in the presence of scopolamine. These observations suggest that pancreatic enzyme secretion in response to oleate is primarily mediated by CCK and that adrenergic modulation may play an important role in the CCK-mediated pancreatic enzyme secretion in response to oleate, although interpretation of these results may have some restriction related to anesthesia.
