Abstract
A case of common variable immunodeficiency in a pregnant woman is presented. Lobar pneumonia developed in the sixth month of the pregnancy and her serum immunoglobulin levels were found to be extremely low. She was treated successfully with immune human serum globulin and antibiotics. She delivered a full-term baby without any troubles. Various immunologic studies were done in the peripheral blood of the patient and the neonate. Consequently, functional abnormalities of helper T cells were considered to be responsible for the hypogammaglobulinemia.

Abstract
An autopsy case of ATL with acute hepatic failure is reported. A 39-year-old man born in Miyazaki Prefecture was admitted because of jaundice and general malaise of about 10 days' duration. Palpation of the abdomen revealed moderate hepatomegaly: the patient had clear consciousness. The white cell count was 62,500/mm3, with 34% abnormal lymphocytes having lobulated or convoluted nuclei. Marked liver dysfunction (TB 30.5 mg/dl; GOT 2,740 U; GPT 1,031 U; LDH 3,833 U) was noted. He developed hepatic coma and died of acute hepatic failure on the third hospital day. At autopsy, the enlarged liver weighed 2,000 g and was diffusely infiltrated by ATL cells.

Abstract
Stimulation of human neutrophils with 12-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HPETE) led to formation of 5S, 12S-dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (DiHETE), but leukotriene B4 (LTB4) or 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE) was not detectable by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography analysis. N-formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine (FMLP) induced the additional synthesis of small amounts of LTB4 in 12-HPETE-stimulated neutrophils. The addition of arachidonic acid greatly increased the synthesis of LTB4 and 5-HETE by neutrophils incubated with 12-HPETE. In experiments using [1-14C]arachidonate-labeled neutrophils, little radioactivity was released by 12-HPETE alone or by 12-HPETE plus FMLP, while several radiolabeled compounds, including LTB4 and 5-HETE, were released by A23187. These findings demonstrate that LTB4 biosynthesis by 12-HPETE-stimulated neutrophils requires free arachidonic acid which may be endogenous or exogenous.

Abstract
Mycophenolic acid (MPA) was demonstrated to inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis in L1210 cells strongly; however these effects were remarkably reduced by guanine. The presence of MPA in the medium decreased the guanine nucleotide contents (GMP, GDP, GTP) of the cells, but the addition of guanine reversed this effect. We have reported previously that MPA had no inhibitory effect on hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRTase) activity. Together these findings suggest that the decrease of guanine nucleotides induced by MPA is restored by GMP, which is formed from guanine by HGPRTase in the cells. It is speculated that a suppressor of HGPRTase activity, such as 6-mercaptopurine, may protect the antitumor activity of MPA by preventing the conversion of guanine to GMP.

Abstract
A case of adenocarcinoma of the descending colon during pregnancy is reported. The patient presented with bilateral large ovarian tumors in pregnancy, and surgery was performed for a presumed ovarian cancer. Only a small, 1 X 1-cm primary focus of adenocarcinoma was found in the resected descending colon. The association of pregnancy and colon cancer above the peritoneal reflection is rare, and only 20 such patients have previously been reported.

Abstract
The association between leukemic transformation and various features recorded at presentation in patients with refractory anemia with excess of blasts and with or without ringed sideroblasts was analyzed in 255 patients using the proportional hazard model. Features associated with higher transformation rates were: higher values of blasts in peripheral blood or bone marrow; serum haptoglobin; vitamin B12; megakaryocytes in bone marrow; morphological abnormalities in granulo- or megakaryocyte series; male sex; circulating megakaryocytes in peripheral blood; older age; and lower ringed sideroblast proportion. Multivariate analysis was also performed using the following predictor variables: presence or absence of refractory anemia with excess of blasts; sex; abnormal granules in granulocytes; age; and mononuclear large megakaryocytes. Patients were divided arbitrarily into low (hazard ratio, less than 0.45), intermediate (hazard ratio, 0.45-1.85) and high (hazard ratio, greater than 1.85) risk groups. The cumulative leukemia-free rates in the low and intermediate risk groups showed long plateau phases at 95 and 71%, respectively, while in the high risk group, the rate was 10% at 5 years. For clinical purposes, the low risk group should be considered to have nonpreleukemia and the high risk group to have preleukemia.

Abstract
A novel cell line, KM-H2, was established from the pleural effusion of a patient with Hodgkin's disease of mixed cellular type. Multiple phenotypic studies were carried out with this cell line. Acid phosphatase and nonspecific esterase activities were detected. Rosette formation with T lymphocytes and the receptors for C3b and Fc portion of IgG were positive. Among the antigens tested with a total of 22 monoclonal antibodies defining hematopoietic cell subsets or lineages, Ki-1, Leu-M1, MCS1, HLA-DR, and OKT9 antigens were found to be positive. The other antigens reportedly specific for T cells, B cells, natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes, interdigitating reticulum (IR) cells and dendritic reticulum cells were negative. These phenotypic features were identical to those of the Sternberg-Reed (SR) and Hodgkin (H) cells in the fresh materials reported by other researchers. Moreover, the KM-H2 cells and the parental pleural effusion cells shared several structural chromosome anomalies. These findings indicated that the KM-H2 cells are derived from the SR and H cells. Molecular genetic analysis of the KM-H2 cells disclosed that the human immunoglobulin JH gene was rearranged but not the JK gene, and that the human T cell receptor beta chain gene was of the germline type. Based on these properties of the KM-H2 cells, Hodgkin's disease may be derived from a cell lineage other than T cell or B cell.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of aclarubicin, a new anthracycline antibiotic, was studied in five patients with acute leukemia or in L1210 cell suspension. Aclarubicin disappeared very rapidly from plasma and whole blood after administration at a dose of 20 mg per patient by iv bolus injection. The concentration of active metabolite M1, on the other hand, increased for up to 2 or 4 hrs after administration and exceeded that of aclarubicin, and then remained at much higher concentrations than aclarubicin for up to 24 hrs after administration. In addition, the levels of aclarubicin and its metabolites in whole blood were much higher than the corresponding plasma levels in four of the patients. The drug concentrations in blood cells of 11 patients determined 4 hrs after administration showed a significant positive correlation with leukocyte counts. Moreover, the concentration of aclarubicin and its metabolites was found to be much higher in the leukocyte fraction than in the erythrocyte fraction in vivo and in vitro. These findings indicate that aclarubicin and its metabolites in blood cells were mainly accumulated in leukocytes. In the study of intracellular drug distribution in L1210 cells, the largest amount of aclarubicin was incorporated into the nuclear fraction. This suggests a close relationship between the pronounced drug accumulation in leukocytes and the high affinity of aclarubicin for DNA.

Abstract
Two new Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome-positive cell lines, designated KPB-M8 and KPB-M15, were established from the peripheral blood of two patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia in blastic crisis. Both cell lines were characterized by blastic appearance, the presence of acid phosphatase activity, Fc gamma-receptor, and C3-receptor, and reactivity to monoclonal antibodies such as OKM1, MCS2, MY906, MY4 and MY7. These results indicate that KPB-M8 and KPB-M15 cells are of an undifferentiated blast nature. Both cells retained Ph1 chromosome, and showed numerical and structural changes upon chromosomal analysis. These cell lines should provide a useful source for studying differentiation of hemopoietic cells.

Abstract
A myeloid leukemia cell line (TK-1) was established from the peripheral blood of a patient with lymphoblastic lymphoma whose leukemia cells were composed of T-lymphoblasts and immature myeloid cells. The established TK-1 cell line consisted of immature myeloid cells with heavy azurophilic granulation in the cytoplasm. The TK-1 cells were positive for peroxidase, and exhibited a strong positive reaction for alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase and naphthol AS-D chloroacetate esterase. The cells were weakly positive for Fc gamma-receptors, showed no phagocytosis and did not reduce NBT. With the treatment of 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3, they exhibited morphological and functional differentiation. The TK-1 cell line contained normal diploid cells and pseudodiploid cells, and the two populations were successfully cloned; the clone with a normal karyotype was designated the TK-1D cell line, and the clone with a pseudodiploid karyotype, which had a translocation involving chromosomes 14, 17 and one other chromosome, was designated the TK-1B cell line. These cloned cells lacked Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigens and had almost the same myelomonocytic characteristics as the parent TK-1 cells. The breakpoint of chromosome 17 involved in the translocation of the pseudodiploid cells was identified to be a band 17q23.
