Abstract
This study was carried out in five full-term newborn babies and 11 patients with anorectal anomalies (five of whom had high deformity, five had intermediate, and one had low), using the modified Bielschowsky method. The following four kinds of sensory nerve ending were found: muscle spindle in the puborectalis and the external anal sphincter, Pacinian corpuscle in the plane between the internal anal sphincter and the external anal sphincter and in the presacral space, globular ending in the presacral space, and free nerve ending in the epithelium of the anal canal and in the perianal skin. It was found that there were significantly fewer muscle spindles in the puborectalis and many fewer Pacinian corpuscles and globular endings in the presacral space of high and intermediate deformities than normal. No spindle was found in the external sphincteric muscles of the deformities. On the other hand, the Pacinian corpuscles and the globular endings of high and intermediate deformities lagged behind normal in development. The densities of the nerve bundles in the subepidermis and the nerve fibers in the dermis of perineal region in high and intermediate deformities were much lower than normal, and the decrease in density corresponded to the levels of the rectal pouch. The observation showed that the agenesis of sensory nerve endings in the puborectalis and the anal region was one of the most significant pathological features in high and intermediate types of anorectal anomalies, and might be responsible for the abnormalities of the reflex of the anal sphincter and the anal sensation in such patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Fatty liver is a common disease in Taiwan. In this study, we tried to evaluate the validity of predicting the presence of fatty liver from clinical data instead of liver biopsy or sonography. From a community survey in Putai, a total of 873 adults older than 30 years and quantified as to triglyceride level, body height, body weight, and the results of the oral glucose tolerance test and upper abdominal sonography were recruited for analysis. Using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the best 'cutoff values' for determination of fatty liver were predicted from body weight index and serum triglyceride level in 8 clusters grouped by sex, age and presence or absence of diabetes mellitus. The best cutoff values of triglyceride in the 8 clusters varied from 100 to 170 mg/dl with worse validity. Most of the values were 130 and 140 mg/dl. The cutoff values of body weight index were constant in all clusters and showed greater validity than those for triglyceride. They were 115% or 120%. Their accuracy for the prediction of fatty liver was positively correlated with its prevalence. However, their accuracy was lower than 70% in non-diabetic females. We conclude that body weight index is a good parameter for prediction of fatty liver especially in the high risk groups and we recommend that health-determining cutoff values of serum triglyceride and body weight index should be set at 130 mg/dl and 115%, respectively.

Abstract
An anti-clonotypic monoclonal antibody (mAb 211G7H) was generated against a T helper cell clone which specifically recognized type II collagen. Besides inhibiting the proliferative response of the immunizing T cell clone to type II collagen, mAb 211G7H (soluble form) also suppressed the antigen-induced proliferation of several other T cell clones which shared similar specificity for antigen and major histocompatibility complex with the immunizing T cell clone. On the other hand, mAb 211G7H did not inhibit the responses of clones exhibiting different antigenic specificities from the clonotype-positive T cell clones. It was also demonstrated that these clonotype-positive T cell clones responded differently to mAb 211G7H when it was immobilized. Based upon their proliferative responses to immobilized anti-clonotype 211G7H mAb, two subpopulations of T cell clones were defined. Collagen-specific T cell clones of the first group proliferated poorly when stimulated with immobilized anti-clonotype mAb, by contrast, T cell clones belonging to the second group proliferated well to immobilized mAb. Furthermore, upon stimulation with immobilized 211G7H mAb, the second subpopulation of cloned T cells produced both interleukin (IL) 2 and IL4, while the first group secreted IL2 but not IL4. The cloned T cells from the group which responded weakly to immobilized anti-clonotype mAb also mediated reduced proliferative responses to IL2 in the presence of immobilized 211G7H mAb. Finally, these two subsets of T cell clones were found to respond differently to other non-antigen stimuli such as IL4 and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate. Thus, from a panel of collagen-specific T cell helper clones which had similar receptor fine specificities, we have isolated two subsets of cloned T helper cells that displayed different activation requirements and lymphokine production.

Abstract
To elucidate the role of HBeAg and other influential factors for the presence of serum HBV DNA and their interactions, serum HBV DNA was examined in 68 patients with chronic HBV infections and 23 HBsAg negative persons by molecular hybridization. Based on the univariate analysis, the positive rate of HBV DNA was higher in patients with HBeAg (31/43, 72.1%) than in patients with anti-HBe (5/22, 22.7%) with an odd ratio of 8.78. The positive rates of HBV DNA between men and women were not significantly different, and the positive rates of HBV DNA were not related to the SGPT levels. The mean age of patients without HBV DNA was higher than that of patients with HBV DNA (p value less than 0.025), and the positive rate and concentration of HBV DNA were decreased with increasing age (p value less than 0.005). The positive rates of serum HBV DNA among different histological changes were not statistically different. However, the discordance of HBV DNA and HBeAg/anti-HBe was increased when the liver parenchymal damage became severe (p less than 0.05). Only 5 patients were anti-D positive and 3 of them had serum HBV DNA. To exclude interactions of the influential factors, multivariate analysis was also performed. HBeAg was the only significant factor for the presence of serum HBV DNA when logistic regression was used (p less than 0.001). The age was an important factor when the concentration of serum HBV DNA was considered.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effect of high frequency stimulation on rate-dependent depression of depolarization of action potentials was studied with computer and standard microelectrode techniques in guinea pig papillary muscles. After increasing driving frequency from 0.5 to 6 Hz, decreases in Vmax, APA and OS were found. Changes of upstroke velocity during phase 0 between driving frequency 6 and 0.5 Hz could be described as a parabola. The rate-dependent depression of depolarization was exaggerated by tetrodotoxin (TTX), particularly during the accelerating period of phase 0. A progressive decline in Vmax, which could be fitted by a power function curve, was observed after changing driving frequency from 1 to 5 Hz. TTX significantly influenced the decline in Vmax and the regression coefficients in fitted equations.

Abstract
To evaluate cellular immunity, mitogen-induced lymphocyte transformation was assessed in 146 patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, including 63 patients with chronic hepatitis (CH), 34 with liver cirrhosis (LC), and 49 patients combined with liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The PHA-induced transformation indices (TI) were lower in patients with chronic HBV infection, especially in the LC and the HCC groups. The Con A-induced TI were also diminished in patients with chronic HBV infection. The mitogen-induced TI in patients with CH showed no significant difference in regards to different histological patterns, HBeAg/anti-HBe statuses, sex groups, age distributions, and SGPT levels. However, the mitogen-induced TI were substantially higher in CH patients with elevated serum AFP levels, especially in the group with AFP levels over 100 ng/ml. From these data, we conclude that: (1) impaired PHA-induced TI in patients with LC may partly explain the high risk factor of LC in the occurrence of HCC; (2) the reduction in TI induced by optimal concentration of Con A reflects the defective suppressor cell activity in patients with chronic HBV infection, even in patients with HCC; (3) no significant difference among the control group and patients with chronic HBV infection in PWM-induced TI implies that the response of B cells may be normal in patients with chronic HBV infection; (4) elevated mitogen-induced TI in CH patients with high AFP levels indicate that the activation of lymphocyte may contribute to the severity of inflammation and tissue damage.

Abstract
The effects of edible black tree fungus (BFF) compared with aspirin on serum lipid level and experimental atherosclerosis and thrombosis in rabbits were studied. The results showed that total serum cholesterol and B-lipoprotein of the BTF group were significantly decreased (P less than 0.01) than the aspirin group and the group with neither BTF nor aspirin. There were less aortic atherosclerotic plaque and intramyocardial arterial lumen stenosis in the BTF group. The development of thrombus and platelet aggregation and thromboxane TXB2 level were inhibited both in the BTF and aspirin group (P less than 0.01). These findings indicate BTF may be used as a healthy food in preventing atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, but its mechanism requires further investigation.

Abstract
A group B Neisseria meningitidis serotype protein vaccine was studied clinically in adults. The vaccine comprised lipopolysaccharide-depleted outer membrane vesicles from a serotype 2b strain, 3006-M2, noncovalently complexed with group B meningococcal polysaccharide. Volunteers received 25 micrograms each of protein and polysaccharide administered intramuscularly either in 0.9% NaCl or adsorbed onto aluminum hydroxide on weeks 0 and 6. Most individuals experienced mild local reactions, but there were no systemic reactions. Both vaccine formulations stimulated antibodies to the outer membrane proteins of serotypes 2a:P1.2 and 2b:P1.2, but higher levels were achieved with the aluminum hydroxide-adsorbed vaccine after two immunizations. Vaccine-induced antibodies were primarily IgG and were bactericidal for both a serotype 2a and a serotype 2b strain. Induction of bactericidal antibodies has been shown to be a major predictor of protection against meningococcal disease.
