Abstract
Nine heterozygous patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) were treated by low density lipoprotein (LDL)-apheresis using dextran sulfate cellulose columns. After more than 3 procedures of LDL-apheresis without drug therapy, combination therapy with LDL-apheresis and CS-514 (eptastatin), an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme (HMG-CoA) reductase, at a dose of 10 mg twice daily was started. Pre- and post-apheresis serum cholesterol levels were decreased significantly by CS-514, from 289 +/- 24 mg/dl (mean +/- SEM) to 247 +/- 25 mg/dl and from 118 +/- 7 mg/dl to 106 +/- 9 mg/dl, respectively. Pre- and post-apheresis apolipoprotein B levels decreased significantly on CS-514 from 160 +/- 9 mg/dl to 138 +/- 8 mg/dl and from 58 +/- 6 mg/dl to 45 +/- 6 mg/dl, respectively. No adverse effects were observed during the combination therapy. Thus, the addition of an inhibitor of HMG-CoA reductase to LDL-apheresis is a useful method for further reducing serum cholesterol and apolipoprotein B levels in FH heterozygotes.

Abstract
This study elucidated diastolic left ventricular dysfunction and whether myocardial interstitial fibrosis correlates with diastolic dysfunction in mild to moderate systemic hypertension (HT). Six normotensive subjects, 18 hypertensive patients without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and 10 hypertensive patients with significant LVH were evaluated. M-mode echocardiography was used to determine fractional shortening (FS), isovolumic relaxation time (IRT), and left ventricular filling volume during rapid and slow filling periods and the atrial contraction period (RFV, SFV, ACV). The quotients of the left ventricular filling volume and the end-diastolic volume and stroke volume were also calculated. Simultaneous biventriculography was used to determine the end-diastolic thickness of the interventricular septum and posterior wall. Right ventricular endomyocardial biopsies were performed to calculate the percentages of fibrosis. The FS was normal in all groups. The percentages of fibrosis in the two HT groups were significantly greater than those in the normals. The IRT of the HT groups was significantly greater, and the RFV, RFV/EDV and RFV/SV were significantly less than those of the normals. Multiple regression analysis showed that the wall thickness and the percentages of fibrosis correlated significantly with IRT, RFV, RFV/EDV and RFV/SV. The standard coefficients of correlation of wall thickness and the percentages of fibrosis were 0.333 and 0.239 in respect to IRT, and -0.304 and -0.473 in respect to RFV. There were significant correlations between the percentages of fibrosis and RFV (r = -0.675), RFV/EDV (r = -0.664) and RFV/SV (r = -0.602) in the normals and in cases of HT without LVH.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Effect of metoclopramide (MCP), a dopaminergic antagonist, on orthostatic hypotension associated with diabetes mellitus, was investigated to prove its plausible role of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone and catecholamine activation by comparative study in 6 diabetics with orthostatic hypotension (OH) and 9 diabetics without OH. With MCP treatment, drop of systolic blood pressure (SBP) on standing was significantly improved. However, the postural responses of plasma renin activity (PRA), plasma aldosterone and norepinephrine were not enhanced by MCP treatment. Moreover, MCP treatment did not modify the vascular reactivity to the exogenously infused angiotensin II and norepinephrine. Thus, it would be interesting to speculate that MCP can improve SBP through its suppressive effect on some depressor substance(s) such as bradykinin which liberates exaggeratively in diabetic OH.

Abstract
A new variant of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene was ascertained through Southern blotting analysis of LDLR genes of 35 unrelated Japanese patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). This mutant gene had a 6 kilobase deletion which had eliminated only exon 15, an exon that encodes the O-linked sugar domain. The mutation was recognized in two patients with heterozygous FH. We refer to these patients as 'FH-Tonami', since they were both born in the Japanese district of Tonami. Although there is no evidence of a relation between families, the possibility of a common ancestor with FH does exist. Neonatal diagnosis of FH in two fetuses from one family was possible through analyses of their LDLR genes in cord blood samples at delivery.

Abstract
Urinary aldosterone metabolites were measured before and after the administration of 1 g/day of kanamycin, a nonabsorbable antibiotic, for 7 days, in 6 normal volunteers and in 11 patients with liver cirrhosis. Urinary excretion of 21-deoxytetrahydroaldosterone (21-deoxy-THAldo) decreased by 40 and 86% from the control values in normal volunteers and in patients, respectively (p less than 0.05), after kanamycin administration. Urinary excretion of 21-deoxyaldosterone (21-deoxy-Aldo) also fell by 48 and 89% in normal subjects and in patients, respectively, but the decrease was significant only in the normal subjects (p less than 0.05). In normal volunteers, urinary free aldosterone and THAldo remained constant, whereas the ratio of 21-deoxy-Aldo to aldosterone and 21-deoxy-THAldo to THAldo decreased from 10.2 to 3.7 and 2.1 to 0.3, respectively (p less than 0.01). These results indicate that intestinal bacteria participate in the metabolism of aldosterone during enterohepatic circulation in man.

Abstract
The acute effects of the calcium entry blocker, nifedipine, on cerebral circulation were studied in 22 patients (56 +/- 5 years) with essential hypertension (EHT, WHO I-II) and 12 age-matched normal subjects. Cerebral effects were reevaluated in sixteen EHT patients after 8 weeks of treatment. The cerebrovascular resistance (Rp), cerebral capacitance (Cp), carotid velocity, and flow volume were measured by a newly developed ultrasonic volume flow meter coupled with a built-in computer which calculates Rp and Cp based on a simulated model. In EHT, acute administration of nifedipine (10 mg orally) decreased Rp from 13.5 +/- 1.8 to 8.0 +/- 0.3 (p less than 0.01) and increased Cp from 22.8 +/- 3.3 to 54.9 +/- 5.2 mFc (p less than 0.01). The carotid blood flow and velocity increased by 25.7% and 22.9%, respectively (p less than 0.05) in the face of lowered arterial pressure. In normal subjects, nifedipine also decreased Rp and increased Cp but to a lesser degree compared with EHT. The acute changes in cerebrovascular circulation in EHT were maintained at 8 weeks of treatment. These results suggest that nifedipine reduces Rp, possibly as the consequence of systemic hypotension and direct vasodilation of the cerebral arteries. This may be beneficial for hypertensive patients.

Abstract
The effects of ovine corticotropin releasing factor (o-CRF) on plasma aldosterone, 18-OH-corticosterone (18-OHB), plasma adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol were determined in eight patients with primary aldosteronism, six with aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) and two with idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA). The results were compared with those in six normal subjects and eleven patients with essential hypertension (EHT, 5 with low renin and 6 with normal renin). In patients with APA, the peak plasma aldosterone and 18-OHB responses to 100 micrograms iv of o-CRF (226% and 113% increase from baseline, respectively) were greater than those in EHT and normal subjects. The net integrated aldosterone and 18-OHB responses (840 +/- 156, and 419 +/- 121 ng/dl.hr, respectively) were also significantly greater (p less than 0.01) in APA than those in normals and EHT. In two patients with IHA, both the peak and net integrated aldosterone response were smaller than those in APA, in spite of nearly identical plasma ACTH and cortisol responses. These results suggest that augmented responses of mineralocorticoids to o-CRF may be characteristic of aldosteronism due to APA, mediated by CRF-induced ACTH, and possibly other proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptides.

Abstract
A 51-year-old woman with breast cancer metastatic to the pleura was treated with intrapleural instillation of adriamycin after thoracentesis, and systemic administration of FEMP, with complete response for more than 11 months. She underwent radical mastectomy and bilateral oophorectomy for advanced breast cancer, and 18 months later presented radiological evidence of pleural fluid contralateral to the affected breast. Initially, thoracentesis for symptomatic relief was done with a positive cytology in the pleural effusion. Intrapleural instillation of adriamycin was followed by partial resolution, and administration of FEMP achieved complete disappearance of both pleural metastasis and pleural effusion.

Abstract
We describe a new low density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis system using dextran sulfate cellulose column in an automated column regenerating unit (LDL continuous apheresis). Two columns containing 150 ml of dextran sulfate cellulose were used, and the whole extracorporeal circulation was about 400 ml in volume. After 600 ml of plasma was adsorbed into the first column, the second column was used as an adsorbent and meanwhile the first column was regenerated. Thus, the 2 columns were used alternately without losing the potency of the columns. As the apparatus was automatically controlled by a computerized unit, no extra manipulation is necessary compared with the conventional single-column method. By treating 4-5 liters of plasma, non-high density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol levels decreased by 63-71%, and HDL-cholesterol levels remained unchanged. Thus, this new method of LDL apheresis can safely reduce LDL-cholesterol to any desired level and will be applicable for the treatment of child and adult family hypercholesterolemic patients with severe coronary heart disease.

Abstract
We examined the efficacy of a new commercial assay procedure (SCC RIABEAD) for estimation of squamous cell carcinoma related antigen (SCC). Intraassay and interassay variance were 4.0-14.6% and 4.6-17.0% respectively. Recovery and dilution tests gave satisfactory results. The normal range was under the level of 1.63 ng/ml. The patients with uterine cervical cancer or squamous cell carcinoma of the lung showed high positive rates. The values of SCC measured by SCC RIABEAD were well-correlated to those by SCC RIAKIT. However, SCC RIABEAD showed lower values in low SCC level and higher values in high SCC level than SCC RIAKIT.

Abstract
1. Plasma concentrations of human alpha-atrial natriuretic polypeptide (h-alpha ANP) during escape from the effects of mineralocorticoid excess were determined in six healthy volunteers. 2. Escape, as indicated by an abrupt increase in sodium excretion on the third to sixth day of 9 alpha-fludrocortisone acetate administration (0.6 mg/day), was observed in all subjects. 3. The mean plasma h-alpha ANP level was 30.9 +/- SEM 8.8 pmol/l on the control day; it increased exponentially in response to 9 alpha-fludrocortisone acetate administration, reached a significant level (114.0 +/- 22.4 pmol/l, P less than 0.05) on the day before escape and remained elevated during escape. 4. The 24 h creatinine clearance and blood pressure did not change significantly before the escape. Plasma h-alpha ANP increased markedly when the cumulative sodium balance exceeded 220 mmol. 5. These results suggest that h-alpha ANP may play a contributory role in natriuresis and diuresis after mineralocorticoid excess.

Abstract
The effects of a variety of certain inhibitors of adrenal steroidogenesis have been studied on the reconstituted C21-steroid 17 alpha-hydroxylase-17,20-lyase system, whose protein components, the enzyme 17 alpha-hydroxylase-17,20-lyase(P-450sccII) and its reductase, are extensively purified from pig testis microsomes. We found: (1) Ketoconazole (cis-1-acetyl-4-[4-((2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(1H-imidazole-1- ylmethyl-1,3-dioxalan-4-ol)methoxy)phenyl] piperazine and Etomidate(R-(+)-ethyl-[1-(a-methyl-benzyl)-indol-5-carboxylatel), inhibited cleavage of 17 alpha-hydroxy progesterone at the 17,20-bond to give androstenedione in a dose-dependent fashion. (2) Some other inhibitors of steroidogenesis, Metyrapone (2-methyl-1.2di-3-pyridyl-1-propanone), Trilostane (4,5-epoxy-17-hydroxy-3-oxo androstane-2-carbonitrile),o,p'DDD (1-(O-chlorophenyl)-1-(p-chlorophenyl)2,2-dichloroethane) and Aminoglutethimide (p-(alpha-aminopheny)-alpha-ethylglutaramide) did not inhibit the same 17,20-lyase system. (3) All of the above listed inhibitors, over a wide variety of concentration ranges, had no significant effect on the 17 alpha-hydroxylation of 11 beta-hydroxyprogesterone, which had been shown to be catalyzed by the same P-450sccII. (4) NADPH:P-450 reductase was not inhibited by all of the above listed inhibitors.
