Abstract
UNLABELLED Septal hypoperfusion is often observed in patients with complete left bundle branch block (LBBB) in myocardial perfusion imaging. Abnormal wall motion in the septal region may potentially cause artifactual perfusion abnormalities. To assess the effect of abnormal wall thickening on myocardial perfusion images, ECG-gated sestamibi SPECT was performed on 12 patients with LBBB and 10 normal subjects used as controls. METHODS After administration of 740 MBq 99mTc-sestamibi injection at rest, ECG-gated SPECT was obtained 60 min later with division of the cardiac cycle into eight frames. RESULTS Septal hypoperfusion was noted in 10 patients on nongated images and 11 patients on end-systolic (ES) images, whereas only two patients showed abnormalities on end-diastolic (ED) images. The septal to lateral wall count ratio in the LBBB group was lower (0.72 +/- 0.09) than in the control group (0.84 +/- 0.09) (p < 0.01) at nongated images, while it was similar at ED images (0.84 +/- 0.11 versus 0.86 +/- 0.12; ns). In addition, the count increase from ED to ES during a cardiac cycle in the septal region was smaller compared with the lateral region in the LBBB patients (25% +/- 19% in the septal region, versus 48% +/- 14% in the lateral region; p < 0.01), indicating less wall thickening in the septal region. CONCLUSION Smaller count increase due to reduced wall thickening in the septal region may mimic hypoperfusion in patients with LBBB. This artifact can be eliminated with ECG-gated 99mTc-sestamibi SPECT, particularly with ED images.

Abstract
The synthesis and in vitro antibacterial activity of 7 beta-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]cephalos porins bearing N-mono or dialkyl and carbamoyl aminopyrazolium, and five- or six-membered rings fused to the 3-aminopyrazolium methyl groups at the 3-position, are described. Aminopyrazolium methyl cephalosporins (23e, f, i), with fused saturated and unsaturated rings were especially effective against Staphylococcus strains compared to 3-amino-2-methylpyrazolium methyl cephalosporin (1). Among the cephalosporins prepared in this work, 7 beta-[(Z)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetamido]-3-(4,5, 6, 7-tetrahydro-1-pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidinio)methyl-3-cephem-4-carbox ylate (23f) showed a good balance of antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative bacteria including P. aeruginosa. An imidazopyrazolium group at the 3-position in, for example, cephalosporin (23i) was particularly effective for improving antibacterial activity against MRSA.

Abstract
A total of 110 patients suspected with CAD who had symptoms or ECG abnormalities were enrolled in the stress-rest ECG gated SPECT one day protocol using 99mTc-MIBI. All the patients underwent symptom-limited exercise testing and 250 MBq of MIBI was injected at peak exercise. Exercise perfusion SPECT images were reviewed by two trained doctors to classify into three groups; normal, equivocal and abnormal. Patients with normal stress image (n = 53) did not receive the resting study. On the other hand, those with equivocal (n = 20) and abnormal (n = 37) stress images performed resting study, including gated SPECT. Of 20 equivocal cases, 16 patients showed unchanged resting perfusion. All of these had normal wall motion. The remaining 4 patients showed improved resting perfusion, indicating presence of myocardial ischemia. Of 37 abnormal cases, 12 patients showed improved resting perfusion, whereas 25 patients showed unchanged resting perfusion. Cardiac events were more often observed in abnormal cases, especially those associated with myocardial ischemia, while good prognosis was obtained in normal cases. Values of this protocol are (1) Patients with normal stress images need no resting study. (2) All the procedure can be completed in one day. (3) Both cardiac function and perfusion can be obtained with gated SPECT. These data indicates that this protocol is valuable for screening patients suspected with CAD.

Abstract
Lipids extracted from Helicobacter pylori were separated into lipid classes by thin-layer chromatography. Simple H. pylori lipids consisted of cholesterol esters, triglycerides, free fatty acids, cholesterol, diacylglycerols, and monoacylglycerols. Fatty acids were released from each lipid class by acid methanolysis, and analyzed by gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Unique methoxy fatty acids, including 11-methoxy heptadecanoic and 11-methoxy nonadecanoic acids, were the major components of the cholesterol esters and triglycerides. The predominance of methoxy fatty acids in the cholesterol esters of H. pylori may contribute to the acid-resistant characteristic of this bacillus.

Abstract
A sensitive liquid chromatographic analysis for myo-inositol was developed using glycocyamine as the post-labelling reagent. The sensitivity was 500 pmol/injection. The system was applied to analyse myo-inositol in sera from eight patients with chronic renal failure. The average concentration of serum myo-inositol was 498.6 +/- 257.0 mumol/L before haemodialysis, and 244.0 +/- 131.1 mumol/L after haemodialysis. These results indicated that the kidney is the main site of myo-inositol metabolism.

Abstract
To improve the quality of 24 hours delayed images (24 DL) of stress thallium-201 myocardial SPECT, reinjection was performed at 24 hours later (24 RI), and the results were compared with those of 24 DL. A total of 45 patients were studied, including 18 patients in 24 DL, 27 patients in 24 RI. All of them showed persistent defect or incomplete redistribution on the routine stress and 3 hours delayed SPECT scans. In 24 RI, 37 MBq of thallium-201 was reinjected at 24 hours later. Myocardial count of 24 DL was about 1/4 of stress image, while 24 RI was about 1/2. Quality of 24 RI image was nearly equal to 3 hours delayed image. Of regions without redistribution at 3 hours delayed image, 5 (36%) regions showed new redistribution at 24 RI. Of regions incomplete redistribution, 6 (25%) regions showed further redistribution. Compared with 24 DL, the frequency of redistribution tended to be higher in this protocol than that of the 24 DL (11%, 17% respectively). In conclusion, the reinjection at 24 hours delayed imaging was considered to be useful to evaluate viability of myocardium in patient with CAD.

Abstract
ECG-gated 99mTc-MIBI SPECT was performed in 33 patients, including 17 normal subjects and 16 patients with old myocardial infarction. To compare the findings by echocardiography (UCG), regional wall motion was qualitatively assessed by cine-mode display and quantitatively measured as an increase in regional count from end-diastole to end-systole. The percent count increase and relative count increase was measured to display on the Bull's eye polar map. In the study of normal subjects, the count increase was greater in apical regions and smaller in septal regions. Regional wall motion by this method correlated well with UCG findings (agreement: 97%, complete agreement: 60%). A mild but significant correlation was observed between the count increase by this method and the percent wall thickening by UCG. We conclude that regional wall motion can be accurately evaluated with ECG-gated 99mTc-MIBI SPECT, which thus permits simultaneous assessment of regional wall motion and myocardial perfusion.

Abstract
Paclitaxel, a novel antimicrotubule agent that enhances tubulin polymerization and microtubule stability, was administered as a 24-hour infusion in a phase I study. Twelve patients received 32 courses at 50, 100, 150, and 200 mg/m2. A premedication regimen of dexamethasone, diphenhydramine, and ranitidine was used to prevent the acute hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs). The dose-limiting factor was leukopenia (granulocytopenia) associated with Grade 4 infection. The maximum tolerated dose was 200 mg/m2. Other non-hematological effects included peripheral neuropathy, myalgia, alopecia, and elevations of transaminase and alkaline phosphatase. Severe HSRs were not observed. The paclitaxel plasma concentration declined with a half-life of 10.0 to 24.9 hours. Excretion into urine within 72 hours was in the range of 7.28 to 11.34% of paclitaxel dosage. Two patients with breast cancer at the 200 mg/m2 dose level had partial responses. The recommended dose of paclitaxel for phase II study, when administered as a 24-hour infusion, is considered to be 150 mg/m2 every 3 weeks.

Abstract
The reproducibility of the data obtained by radionuclide angiocardiography was studied in terms of the intra- and intervariations of three technicians. Three parameters were chosen: the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), the 1/3 filling fraction (1/3FF), and the ratio of the time from end systole to the point of peak filling rate against the entire diastolic period (TRPFR). First, each technician studied an independent consecutive series of 40 patients for the initial analysis. The original data of each patient, composed of 26 frames for one beat, were stored on an optical disc for the intra- and intervariation studies. In this study, analysis of the volume curve was performed by using both 3rd order and 4th order Fourier series. The region of interest (ROI) for the left ventricle, which was set for the initial analysis, was recorded by Polaroid photography to be used as a reference for the later analyses for the variation studies. The least variation was noted in the LVEF not only for the intravariation study but also for the intervariation study, no matter which order of the Fourier series was used. However, the 3rd order Fourier series seemed to give better curve fitting to avoid fluctuation of the diastolic parameters. The results indicate that we can expect more steady and reliable information from LVEF than from the diastolic parameters, even when various technicians perform the follow-up study of a particular patient.

Abstract
Lipids from Helicobacter pylori were extracted, isolated by conventional DEAE-Sephadex and silica gel column chromatography, and then purified by preparative thin-layer chromatography. Simple and phospholipids were analyzed by HPTLC and quantitatively determined by densitometry scanning. The fatty acid compositions of simple lipids were estimated by gas-liquid chromatography. The simple lipid composition of H. pylori consisted of wax ester (2.5%), triglycerides (4.9%), free fatty acids (30.0%), cholesterol (6.9%), diacylglycerol (29.1%), and monoacylglycerol (2.6%). The neutral phospholipid composition consisted of phosphatidyl ethanolamine (79.1%), lysophosphatidyl ethanolamine (16%), and phosphatidyl choline (1.9%). That of acidic phospholipids consisted of phosphatidic acid (52.7%) and phosphatidyl serine (47.3%). The major fatty acids of crude lipid, wax, free fatty acids, triglycerides, diacylglycerides, and monoacyl glycerides were C19:1 (cyclo), C18:2, C16:0, C19:1 (cyclo), C22h:0, and C18:0, respectively. These results are new findings and suggest significant characteristics from the metabolic, physiologic, and chemotaxonomic point of view.

Abstract
This article reviews the structure-activity relationships, biological properties and synthesis of two new oral cephalosporin antibiotics, cefixime (CFIX) and cefdinir (CFDN). Our research into new oral cephalosporin antibiotics began in the late 1970's. The first goal of our research was to discover a new oral cephem possessing similar antibacterial activity and resistance to beta-lactamase as the 3rd generation injectable cephalosporins. We focused our attention on searching for a non-prodrug type cephem, that is, a new parent structure with high intrinsic absorption. We selected ceftizoxime (CZX) as a seed compound due to its relatively high excretion rate (8.5%) in the urine after oral administration to rats. We concentrated our research on the chemical modification of the oxime moiety in CZX based on our hypothesis for oral absorption, and discovered a lead compound with a carboxymethoxyimino group which displayed better urinary excretion (41.0%). Optimization studies led to a new oral cephem, CFIX. However, CFIX shows only low to moderate antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria such as S. aureus. Hence, the second goal of our research was to discover a new oral cephem with enhanced activity against gram-positive bacteria. From a consideration of structure-absorption relationships, we studied the activity and absorbability of cephems bearing other acidic functional groups at the oxime moiety of CFIX. As a result, we found a new oral cephem, CFDN with a hydroxyimino group at the 7-position. CFIX has excellent biological properties, displaying potent antibacterial activity against a wide range of gram-positive bacteria except S. aureus and gram-negative bacteria including opportunistic pathogens, high stability towards beta-lactamases and long acting efficacy. CFDN exhibits excellent and well balanced antibacterial activities against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The pharmacokinetic of CFDN in healthy volunteers showed that serum levels were high enough to make CFDN as an effective antibacterial agent. The proposed mechanisms of intestinal absorption of CFIX and CFDN are briefly described. The efficient synthetic methods to CFIX and CFDN were achieved via a common intermediate, 7-amino-3-vinylcephalosporanic acid diphenylmethyl ester from 7-ACA.

Abstract
43-year-old male with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which was resistant to standard treatment received high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. He had a past history of nephrectomy due to renal cell carcinoma. He had received adriamycin at a total dose of 280mg/m2, but had no episode of heart disease. His chest radiograph, electrocardiogram and serum creatinine were within normal ranges at the start of high-dose chemotherapy. He was given 120 mg/kg of cyclophosphamide (CPM) over two days. Serum creatinine levels elevated two days before transplantation, and he felt discomfort of the chest followed by severe arrhythmia. He died of heart failure one day after the transplantation. Postmortem examination revealed diffuse myocardial hemorrhage with degeneration and necrosis of the heart muscle. CPM is one of the useful antitumor alkylating agents for the treatment of malignant neoplasms. Although conventional doses of CPM can be used without adverse cardiac effects, high-dose CPM has been reported to induce cardiotoxicity in a few cases. Patients often develop fatal acute heart failure. For the safe use of high-dose CPM, we must consider about the dosing schedule, early detection of adverse cardiac effects, and patient risk factors.

Abstract
This article reviews structure-activity relationships and biological properties of a new oral cephem, cefidinir (CFDN). It also describes a hypothesis concerning the absorption mechanism from the intestine. Antibacterial activities and the oral absorption efficiencies were studied with regard to 3-vinyl cephalosporins with various 7-acyl side chains. From the study, 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-hydroxyiminoacetyl group was selected and various 3-substituents were screened. As a result, it was found that the vinyl compound, CFDN, showed excellent antibacterial activity and good oral absorption in rats. In vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities, the affinity for PBPs and the stability to beta-lactamases revealed that CFDN had well balanced antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and good biological properties. The pharmacokinetics of CFDN in healthy volunteers showed that serum concentration and half life were good enough to make CFDN an effective therapeutic agent. The mechanism of intestinal absorption of CFDN and related oral cephems are discussed and a hypothesis for molecular recognition by the carrier protein in the intestine is proposed.

Abstract
A 45-year-old woman who underwent gastrectomy for gastric carcinoma which had metastasized to the liver and ovaries, showed high serum levels of hCG, AFP and CEA. To locate the source, an immunohistochemical technique was utilized. HCG-producing cells were detected in poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma of a primary tumor and an ovarian metastatic site, and AFP-producing cells in poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma forming a medullary pattern of primary site and metastatic foci. CEA-producing cells were found diffused in primary tumor and metastatic foci. From the viewpoint of oncodevelopmental gene expression (Cancer Res 36:3423, 1976), it is interesting that the serum levels of these three tumor markers (hCG, AFP, CEA) were elevated simultaneously.

Abstract
Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) has an immunosuppressive effect. The possible mechanisms of this immunosuppressive effect were assessed by determining the production of interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), as well as phagocytosis by splenic macrophages from HBO-treated mice. Although HBO treatment did not have any significant effect on IL-6 production and phagocytotic activity, a marked decrease in IL-1 production and a significant decrease in PGE2 production were observed. These results suggest that the reduction of IL-1 production may play an important role in the immunosuppressive effect of HBO.

The synthesis of 7 beta-[(Z)-2-(aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-hydroxyiminoacetamido] cephalosporins (Ia-i) modified at the C-3 position of a cephem nucleus and the effect of the C-3 substituents on the antibacterial activity and oral absorbability are discussed. The cephems (Ie, h and i) having a C-3 substituent such as 1-propenyl, ethylthio and vinylthio group as well as FK482 (cefdinir) exhibited excellent antibacterial activities against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. However, those compounds showed poor absorption rate after oral administration in rats. It is concluded that the vinyl moiety at the 3-position is necessary to display fairly oral absorptivity in a series of 7 beta-[(Z)-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-hydroxyiminoacetamido]c eph ems.

Abstract
Skin involvement of Hodgkin's disease, which typically occurs in the advanced stage, is rare and is associated with a poor prognosis. We report a case of Hodgkin's disease which recurred solely in the skin and followed a favorable clinical course. A 44-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed as having a mediastinal Hodgkin's disease in January 1983. After a complete remission, recurrent skin tumors appeared in the left supraclavicular and anterior chest regions in March 1988. No evidence of lymph nodes or visceral organ involvement was detected. The tumors regressed after chemotherapy. There is no evidence of the disease 7 months after discharge.

Abstract
The synthesis, antibacterial activity and oral absorption of the 7 beta-[(Z)-2-aryl-2-hydroxyiminoacetamido]-3-vinylcephalosporins (Ia--e) are described. All of these compounds exhibited excellent activity against Staphylococcus aureus. Against Gram-negative bacteria FK482 exhibited more excellent activity than the other compounds (Ia--e). These compounds except Ie showed good oral absorption. The relationship between the oral absorption rates and the lipophilicity of these cephalosporins is discussed.

Abstract
In the present study, the expression of IL-1 receptor (IL-1 R) on the primary cultured hepatocytes was determined and the effect of IL-1 on the intracellular amount of cytochrome P-450 was investigated. The kinetics of IL-1R on the hepatocytes was studied by [125I]-IL-1 alpha and revealed that 5,000 molecules of IL-1 bound to a hepatocyte with a Kd of 4.0 x 10(-9) M. Incubation of the hepatocytes with IL-1 for 18 hrs decreased the contents of cytochrome P-450 in a dose-dependent manner. These findings suggest that IL-1 potentially depresses the drug metabolism involving IL-1R which is expressed on hepatocytes.

Abstract
The structure of FR109615, a new antifungal antibiotic, was determined to be (1R,2S)-2-aminocyclopentane-1-carboxylic acid ((-)-cis-2-ACPC: 8a) by X-ray analysis. (-)-cis-2-ACPC (8a) was also synthesized via optical resolution of 3a and 3b derived from (+/-)-cis-2-ACPC hydrochloride (1). 8a showed potent antifungal activity, while its antipode (+)-cis-2-ACPC (8b) had no activity.
