Abstract
An antisense strategy has been used to identify genes important for the maintenance of transformation of MDCC-MSB1 (MSB1) Marek's disease virus-transformed lymphoblastoid cells. Oligodeoxynucleotides antisense to the predicted translation initiation regions of ICP4 and pp38 mRNAs inhibited proliferation of MSB1 cells but not MDCC-CU91 (CU91) reticuloendotheliosis virus-transformed cells. Control oligodeoxynucleotides having the same base composition but a different sequence did not inhibit MSB1 cell proliferation. In addition, ICP4 and pp38 antisense oligodeoxynucleotides resulted in 77- and 100-fold reductions in colony formation by MSB1 cells in soft agar, respectively. To extend and corroborate these results, a novel system based on efficiently regulated expression of eukaryotic genes by a chimeric mammalian transactivator, LAP267 (S. B. Baim, M. A. Labow, A. J. Levine, and T. Shenk, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 88:5072-5076, 1991), was used. MSB1-derived stably transfected cell lines in which RNA antisense to Marek's disease virus ICP4, pp38, or meq could be induced by treatment of the cells with isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) were constructed. Control cell lines in which expression of ICP4 sense or pUC19 sequences could be induced by IPTG were also constructed. Induction of the cell lines indicated that ICP4 antisense RNA, but not ICP4 sense RNA or pUC19 RNA, inhibited proliferation of MSB1 cells. Induction of ICP4, meq, or pp38 antisense RNAs, but not ICP4 sense or pUC19 RNAs, had a dramatic effect on relative colony formation by MSB1 cells in soft agar. These results indicate that ICP4, pp38, and Meq are all involved in the maintenance of transformation of MSB1 cells.

Abstract
In the present study, the role of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in the host resistance against Cryptococcus neoformans was examined using a murine model of pulmonary and disseminated infection. In this model, mice were infected intratracheally with live yeast cells, and the histological changes in the lungs and the number of microorganisms in the lung and brain were compared in mice treated and untreated with anti-IFN-gamma monoclonal antibody (mAb) to define the contribution of endogenously synthesized IFN-gamma in the natural course of infection. Administration of this mAb reduced the accumulation of inflammatory cells in the alveolar septa, peribronchial and perivascular areas, and promoted the expansive growth of microorganisms in the alveoli and destruction of alveolar structure. The neutralization of endogenous IFN-gamma by mAb increased the number of microorganisms in the lung and brain, and significantly shortened the survival time of infected mice. On the other hand, administration of IFN-gamma decreased the number of microorganisms in these organs, and significantly extended their survival time. Considered together, our results suggest that endogenous IFN-gamma protects mice from infection with C. neoformans by inducing a cellular inflammatory response, potentiating the clearance of microorganism from the lungs and preventing its dissemination into the central nervous system.

Abstract
522 cases of benign prostate hyperplasia from 1980 to 1994 were reviewed. Prostate incidental carcinoma (PIC) was identified in 26 cases (4.98%). In order to study the pathomorphological features and to study the causes for missed diagnosis of this entity, the authors observed and analysed the numbers of carcinomatous foci their distribution, classification, staging and differentiation, morphological features and prostate specific antigen (PSA) markers. It was found that 23 cases exhibited a pathological structure of uniform pattern and 3 cases with pluriform pattern. Adenocarcinoma was most common. 17 cases were A1 stage and 9 cases were A2 stage. Isolated multiple foci of invasion and alterations of architecture are important pathological features of these cases. Missed diagnosis of prostate cancer is related to the small amount of biopsy tissue, contrast between benign and malignant prostate epithelial tissue not distinct, scarce nuclear anaplasia, careless microscopic observation, or observer lacks the ability to differentiate between pathologic types and pluriform patterns. Different PSA reactions may be related to tumor differentiation and classification.

Abstract
The location of the mental foramen has often been claimed to be unaffected by alveolar atrophy. In the present study, the distances of the mental foramen and the mandibular canal from the lower cortex of the mandible were compared in a radiographed series of 40 edentulous elderly women with advanced alveolar atrophy and 40 elderly women who had 10 or more lower teeth left. The mental foramen was situated on average 3.8 mm lower in dentulous jaws than in dentulous jaws (P < 0.0001). The mandibular canal was also situated lower in edentulous jaws, but the difference was not statistically significant. The results confirm the finding that the mental foramen seems to descend as a result of alveolar atrophy.

Abstract
Geminiviruses are plant DNA viruses with small genomes whose replication, except for the viral replication protein (Rep), depends on host proteins and, in this respect, are analogous to animal DNA tumor viruses, e.g. SV40. The mechanism by which these animal viruses create a cellular environment permissive for viral DNA replication involves the binding of a virally encoded oncoprotein, through its LXCXE motif, to the retinoblastoma protein (Rb). We have identified such a LXCXE motif in the Rep protein of wheat dwarf geminivirus (WDV) and we show its functional importance during viral DNA replication. Using a yeast two-hybrid system we have demonstrated that WDV Rep forms stable complexes with p130Rbr2, a member of the Rb family of proteins, and single amino acid changes within the LXCXE motif abolish the ability of WDV Rep to bind to p130Rbr2. The LXCXE motif is conserved in other members of the same geminivirus subgroup. The presence of an intact Rb binding motif is required for efficient WDV DNA replication in cultured wheat cells, strongly suggesting that one of the functions of WDV Rep may be the linking between viral and cellular DNA replication cycles. Our results point to the existence of a Rb-like protein(s) in plant cells playing regulatory roles during the cell cycle.

Abstract
Two different ILV5 genes encoding acetohydroxy-acid isomeroreductases, and named ILV5G and ILV5X, were cloned and sequenced from a Saccharomyces cerevisiae brewing strain. The coding sequence of ILV5X shows a single nucleotide change with respect to that from the ILV5 gene of a S. cerevisiae laboratory strain. In addition, all promoter motifs which are, or are presumed to be, implicated in transcription regulatory functions are identical in ILV5 and ILV5X. In contrast, the coding sequence of ILV5G differs in 5.6% of its nucleotides from that of ILV5 and most of its promoter regulatory motifs show a single nucleotide change with respect to those from ILV5.

Abstract
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) catalyzes the production of nitric oxide (NO), a short-lived radical gas with physiological or pathophysiological roles in nearly every organ system. The inducible NO synthase (iNOS) is a high-output isoform compared to the two constitutive NOSs. The iNOS from murine macrophages tightly binds calmodulin as a subunit, and its activity is not dependent on exogenous calmodulin or elevated calcium. This iNOS is induced at the transcriptional level by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-gamma. The promoter region of the murine iNOS gene contains at least 24 oligonucleotide motifs corresponding to elements involved in the binding of transcription factors in the promoters of other cytokine-inducible genes. Nuclear factor NF-kappa B/c-rel, interacting with cycloheximide-sensitive protein(s) and binding to the NF-kappa Bd site in the iNOS promoter, controls the induction of iNOS by LPS. However, iNOS is also regulated posttranscriptionally. Complex regulation of iNOS at multiple levels may reflect the dual role of iNOS in host defense and autotoxicity.

Abstract
In the present survey the radiographic findings in the jaws of 124 clinically edentulous old people living at home in Helsinki, Finland, were studied, using panoramic radiography supplemented by intraoral radiographs. Only 9% of the subjects had root remains. Impacted teeth were found in 4%, radiolucent lesions in 3%, and radiopaque findings in 13%. Deviations from normal condylar structure were found in 17% and mucosal thickenings in the maxillary sinuses in 7%. The mental foramen was situated at the top of the residual ridge in 42% of the subjects. Topically situated mental foramen and condylar changes were commoner in women. The radiographic oral health status of the population studied was good.

Abstract
The estrogen-induced renal tumor in the hamster has emerged as a major animal model in hormonal carcinogenesis. However, a fundamental aspect of this experimental model has as yet not been investigated. In the present study, comparisons between the serum and tissue 17 beta-estradiol (E2) levels in cyclic female hamsters and corresponding hormone levels in E2-treated castrated male hamsters have been made. Data is provided concerning the concentration of estrogenic hormones in the serum and target tissue typically required to elicit renal tumorigenesis in this species. Serum E2 levels in the cyclic female hamster average 79 pg/ml on days 1-2 and 311 pg/ml on days 3-4, attaining a maximum of 358 pg/ml on day 4 of the cycle. Elevation in uterine, renal and hepatic E2 tissue levels during days 3-4 of the cycle reflect increases in serum E2 levels which were 3.0-, 2.0-, and 2.6-fold higher when compared to day 1 of the cycle in these tissues. As expected, serum E2 levels of untreated castrated male hamsters did not appreciably vary over a 6 month period of aging and averaged about 32 pg/ml. Under conditions which produced essentially 100% renal tumor incidence, a rapid rise in serum E2 levels, averaging 71.0-fold higher than untreated castrated levels, was seen. A steady state serum E2 level of 2400 to 2700 pg/ml was maintained from 45-180 days of continuous estrogen treatment. Compared to kidneys of untreated hamsters, renal E2 levels in E2-treated hamsters rose only on average 5.4-fold between 15-180 days of hormone exposure. Serum levels of E2-treated hamsters were 5.7- to 8.0-fold higher than those observed in cyclic female hamsters on days 3 and 4. However, at these higher E2-treated serum levels there was no apparent effect either on weight loss or mortality of the animals.

Abstract
The preoperative CT appearances of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions in 232 cases were analyzed. According to the CT features in shape, outline and boundary of the tumors, the HCC was divided into 3 Types: Type I--roundish expansive growth type (REG TYPE), Type II--irregular expansive growth type (IREG TYPE), and type III--irregular infiltration growth type (IIG TYPE). Comparing different CT types with findings at laparotomy or pathological specimens, it showed that the intrahepatic tumor dissemination rates of type I, II and III were 18.6%, 37.7%, and 47.8%, respectively. The lymph node metastasis rates were 0, 7.7% and 23.1%, respectively. The portal vein tumor thrombus formation rates were 2.3%, 20.8% and 46.4%, respectively. The proportion of encapsulation (67.4%, 27.3% and 5.28%, respectively) apparently decreased from type I to type III in turn. The differences were statistically significant. From type I to III the resection rate of large sized tumor decreased, and the prognosis was from bad to worse. Survival analysis (Cox's mode) showed significant differences from type I to type III. Therefore, CT classification may be used to evaluate the gross biological behavior of HCC lesions and may be of pathological and clinical relevance.

Abstract
The cell morphology of corneal endothelium in 84 mice with experimental traumatic cataract was investigated with stained corneal buttons. In the experimental group, the boundaries between adjacent corneal endothelial cells were significantly distorted, some cell boundaries manifested degenerative changes that led to coalescence of the cells. The mean density and mean area of endothelial cells of the controls showed significant difference from those of the experimental group during the 12 weeks of observation. The density of endothelial cells decreased from 3,312 +/- 337/mm2 of the control group to 2,944 +/- 418/mm2 in the group of partially opaque lenses and 2,713 +/- 472/mm2 in the group of totally opaque lenses. Meanwhile, the area of endothelial cells and the coefficient of variation also significantly changed correspondingly, and the degree of damage in the corneal endothelium correlated with the degree of the lens opacity.

Abstract
Two hundred forty-nine cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL) were reviewed by using the working classification of NHL (Chengdu, 1985). The results showed that the patients of 249 cases of NHL ranging in age from 5 to 76 years, with the mean age of 42 of the types were separated into three major prognostic groupings as follows: 1. low (41 of 249 cases, small lymphocytic 27 cases, lymphoplasmacytoid 2 cases, follicular cleaved 7 cases, follicular cleaved and noncleaved 5 cases); 2. intermediate (58 of 249 cases, diffuse cleaved 28 cases, diffuse cleaved and noncleaved 27 cases, follicular noncleaved 3 cases); and 3. high grade malignancy (150 of 249 cases, diffuse noncleaved 49 cases, lymphoblastic 41 cases, immunoblastic 13 cases, polymorphic 39 cases, clear cell 2 cases, histiocytic 6 cases). Each group was significantly different from the others (P less than 0.05). The prognosis of patients with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy like T-cell lymphoma (9 of 249 cases) was not more significant (P greater than 0.05) than that of patients with other polymorphic lymphoma (30 of 249 cases). The results showed this Chengdu classification of NHL is good for practice and usage in clinical evaluation and routine surgical pathology.

Abstract
We studied the mucosa close to the carcinoma of large bowel (CLB) in 200 cases, the carcinoma tissue of CLB in 130 and the mucosa of fetus large bowel in 24 by mucin histochemistry, in addition to the mucosa near CLB studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) in 25. The results suggested that mucin composition of transitional mucosa (TM) was similar to CLB and large bowel mucosa of the fetus. SEM showed significant changes in TM. The HID/AB Stain suggesting abnormal range of TM was within 2 cm in 68.0% (136/200) of cases of CLB, within 3 cm in 88.5% (177/200) and In SEM abnormal range within 2 cm in 88.0% (22/25). The measurement of TM can provide reference for resectable range of CLB.

Abstract
Clinical corneal buttons of 150 cases were stained with try-pan blue and alizalin red S, so as to compare the relative density of endothelial cells and to analyse the forms of the cell nuclei. The result showed that cell densities of fetal corneal endothelium of 25 cases with fetal period from 19 to 34 weeks, had no significant difference (P > 0.05) between the central and peripheral areas of cornea. However, the cell densities of corneal endothelium of 19 cases, aged from newborn to 53 years, showed a significant difference (p < 0.01). The cell nuclei of the fetal corneal endothelium have elliptic forms mainly, which are similar between central and peripheral area of corneal endothelium. However, the forms show an unstable nucleus morphological structure. From newborn to adult cornea, the nucleus forms of corneal endothelial cells tend to be stable and circular, but there are unstable forms of endothelial cell nuclei dispersed in corneal periphery. This emphasize that the endothelial cells in corneal periphery still keep its cell differential function of development in some degree.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (MAb) against an O1 Suisse isolate of FMDV were used to identify epitopes on the virus particle and to determine their relative function. Six major antigenic sites containing one or more epitopes were identified using competition ELISA. An epitope relationship is proposed consisting of a trypsin-sensitive sequential site, termed B2/D9, from the codings for the MAb which reacted with it, which was associated with virus infectivity and is probably at or near to the cell-binding site of the virion; a trypsin-resistant, conformational site 1C6/4C9 MAb reaction at which also resulted in neutralization of virus infectivity; a second trypsin-resistant, conformational site 3C8, where again MAb reaction neutralised virus infectivity; a third trypsin-resistant, conformational site 6C3/2G5, at which MAb-dependent neutralisation of virus infectivity was inefficient; a site 3G4, the expression of which was impaired but not destroyed by trypsin treatment, and was not related to virus infectivity; an internal site A8, which appears to be a "12S subunit-specific" site. This work clearly demonstrates for the first time that both trypsin-sensitive and trypsin-resistant neutralisable (infectivity-associated) sites exist on the FMDV particle, and only one of these can be related to the sequential site used to formulate current FMDV peptide vaccines.
