Abstract
N-Hydroxyureas based on the 1,4-benzodioxan template were prepared from appropriately substituted 1,4-benzodioxan-2-methanols as the key intermediates and evaluated in the in vitro guinea pig polymorphonuclear leukocyte 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) assay for their 5-LO inhibitory activity. Placement of a 7-phenoxy or 7-p-fluorophenoxy substituent resulted in a dramatic increase in in vitro potency. Selected compounds were subsequently assayed in an ex vivo dog model of LTB4 synthesis at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg. The 7-phenoxy derivatives 16 and 17 showed modest duration of action (DA) in this dog model. The 6-regioisomers 21 and 22 were less potent. Replacement of the 7-phenoxy group of 16 with the p-fluorophenoxy moiety enhanced the DA dramatically. Compound 18 (CGS 25667), which had an IC50 value of 100 nM in the in vitro guinea pig 5-LO assay, had a DA of 8.5 h (zileuton, DA = 8.5 h) at the oral dose of 1.0 mg/kg. Optical antipodes (24, 26) of 18 were independently synthesized in high (> 95%) enantiomeric purity from commercially available optically active glycidyl tosylates and evaluated. In the in vitro assay, the 2S-(-)-enantiomer (24, CGS 25997, IC50 = 85 nM) was found to be twice as active as the 2R-(+)-counterpart (26, CGS 25998, IC50 = 180 nM). In the ex vivo experiment, 24, which dose dependently inhibited plasma 5-LO activity, was shown to be significantly longer acting than 26, with a DA of 8.4 h when dosed orally at 1.0 mg/kg.

Abstract
To evaluate the relationship between the sugar chain structure and biological activity, fibroblast-derived glycosylated human interferon-beta, Chinese hamster ovary cell-derived glycosylated recombinant human interferon-beta and Escherichia coli-derived unglycosylated recombinant human interferon-beta were evaluated using human hepatoblastoma cells in vitro. Native fibroblast interferon-beta expressed more cell-growth inhibitory action, 2'5'-oligoadenylate synthetase induction, and the inhibition of hepatitis B virus DNA replication than its asialoform and two recombinant interferon-betas. These results showed that the sugar chain structure of human interferon-beta affects its biological activity on human hepatoblastoma cells.

Abstract
A temperature greater than 60 degrees C was maintained for 60 s within a 5-mm radius of a microwave electrode implanted in a rabbit kidney using 2450 MHz at 100 W for 30 s. Histological examination revealed complete coagulation necrosis in that area. VX-2 cells were inoculated into the kidneys of 10 rabbits. One week later, five rabbits received ultrasound-guided microwave thermotherapy, and the remaining five rabbits received no treatment. All rabbits with microwave thermotherapy had a complete response to treatment while all rabbits without therapy died of cancer within 6 weeks of the VX-2 implantation. These results indicate that ultrasound-guided microwave thermotherapy has the potential of being a nephron-salvaging treatment for small renal tumors.

Abstract
Hemodynamic effects of amrinone and the changes in pulmonary shunt were studied in patients for open heart surgery. Eighteen patients were allocated into two groups (group L, H) on the first day of surgery. Group L consisted of 10 patients who received moderate-dose catecholamine (DOA + DOB < 12 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) and group H consisted of 8 patients who needed high-dose catecholamine (DOA + DOB > or = 12 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) to maintain normal hemodynamics. After baseline measurement, amrinone infusion was started and the dose was increased by every 2 hours (5, 10, 20 micrograms.kg-1.min-1). At dose of 20 micrograms.kg-1.min-1, cardiac index increased significantly in group L but not in group H. SVRI and PVRI decreased by dose related fashion in both groups. Systemic arterial pressure was unaltered in group L while it decreased significantly in group H. PaO2 decreased and pulmonary shunt increased in both groups. These results suggest that inotropic response of amrinone depends on the basal level of myocardial contractility although vasodilative property and the effect on the pulmonary shunt are almost similar in both groups.

Abstract
With the use of cisplatin to enhance the effect of 5-FU, a combined approach was designed to treat patients with inoperable recurrent cancer of the stomach (15) and colon (6). This CDDP-5-FU therapy consisted of intermittent infusion of CDDP at a dose of 6 mg/m2 every day and continuous infusion of 5-FU at a daily dose of 200 mg/m2 for 2 weeks with a 2-week interval in between. There were 1CR and 6PR, and the overall response rate was 40.0%. Toxicity was manifested in slight nausea or vomiting in two patients (10.0%), but there was no nephrotoxity. Thrombocytopenia of Grade 4 was found in 1 patient and leucopenia of Grade 3 in another. The efficiency of performance status was in 14 patients (66.7%). Combination of daily low-dose cisplatin and 5-FU is a tolerable treatment for patients with inoperable recurrent stomach and colon cancer. It is suggested that CDDP plays a role as not only an effector but also a modulator in biochemical modulation of 5-FU in this therapy. The infusion schedule is also suitable for chemotherapy of outpatients. Further studies on the appropriate infusion of CDDP and 5-FU are needed.

Abstract
We reported a case of von Recklinghausen's disease complicated by macroglobulinemia, malignant Schwannoma and pheochromocytoma. A 43-year-old male patient who was diagnosed as von Recklinghausen's disease developed abdominal masses at 5 years after the adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma. Computed tomography showed multiple heterogeneous tumors in abdominal cavity. Histological examination of resected tumor was compatible with malignant Schwannoma. At the same time, peripheral blood and bone marrow smears showed a large number of plasmacytoid lymphocytes. Immunoelectrophoresis revealed M-protein of IgM, kappa type. He was also diagnosed of coexistence with macroglobulinemia. The chemotherapeutic protocols used were not effective against both malignant Schwannoma and macroglobulinemia. The present case is a rare case of von Recklinghausen's disease associated with triple neoplasms.

Abstract
During the past eight years, tissue defects of the head and neck region in a total of 45 patients were repaired with free rectus abdominis muscle perforating artery flaps. These flaps are subclassified into (1) reduced musculocutaneous flaps, (2) thin reduced musculocutaneous flaps, (3) paraumbilical perforator-based flaps, and (4) thin paraumbilical perforator-based flaps. The advantages of these flaps are as follows. Since the flaps involve no or only a small portion of the rectus abdominis muscle, (1) the muscle can be left intact on the abdominal wall, and (2) a thin flap can be easily created by simple defatting of the flap. These flaps overcome the major disadvantages of the conventional rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap, i.e., bulkiness of the flap and frequent postoperative abdominal herniation. The territory of the thin flaps is within 10 cm around the perforator. These flaps are suitable for defects in the head and neck region, because simultaneous flap elevation is possible at the time of tumor resection. Paraumbilical perforator-based flaps are suitable for young females and elderly patients.

Abstract
The present study shows gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) immunoreactivity in almost all chief cells of the mouse carotid body. GABA immunoreaction products were distributed diffusely in the cytoplasm as well as in the dense-cored granules. These findings suggest that GABA may be localized in the cytoplasm and granules, and may be released from the cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To solve a possible relationship between mtDNA mutation of tRNALYS(8344) and diabetes, we have surveyed the tRNALYS mutation, glucose intolerance, and insulin secretory capacity in a Japanese family with diabetes and myoclonic epilepsy with ragged-red fiber disease. Several lines of evidence suggested possible linkage between mtDNA mutation and diabetes (1-4). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS DNA was isolated from peripheral lymphocytes. The polymerase chain reaction analysis for the tRNA(LYS)(8344) mutation of the mtDNA was conducted as described by Larsson (5). Insulin secretory capacity was assessed by 24-h urinary C-peptide immunoreactivity response (CPR) excretion and plasma CPR to glucagon administration. RESULTS We identified seven subjects with the tRNA(LYS) mutation as well as seven non-mutated members in the pedigrees. Oral glucose tolerance tests in the pedigree indicated that five of the mutated subjects were diabetic, one had impaired glucose tolerance, and one had normal glucose tolerance (NGT), whereas all nonmutated family members had NGT. The pedigree shows maternal transmission of diabetes and the tRNA(LYS) mutation over three generations. Twenty-four-hour urinary excretion of CPR was significantly reduced in the mutant subjects (mean +/- SD, 67.8 +/- 79.2 nmol/day, n = 6, P < 0.001) compared with the nonmutant members (276.6 +/- 41.8 nmol/day, n = 5) and the age-matched normal control subjects (263 +/- 64.3 nmol/day, n = 12). Plasma CPR 6 min after glucagon injection demonstrated a marked reduction in the mutant subjects (3.68 +/- 3.45 nmol/l, n = 5, P < 0.001) compared with the nonmutant members (19.4 +/- 1.17 nmol/l, n = 5) and the normal control subjects (15.8 +/- 3.81 nmol/l, n = 12). Bilateral neurosensory deafness was demonstrated in five of seven (71.4%) mutant subjects (five of five [100%] mutated diabetic patients), but not detected in six nonmutant members. CONCLUSIONS This observation is the first report of association of diabetes with the mitochondrial tRNA(LYS) mutation. Insulin secretory capacity was significantly lower in the mutant members than in the nonmutated members. These findings suggest that the pancreatic beta-cell secretory defect of insulin might be one of the phenotypes of the mitochondrial tRNA(LYS) mutation.

Abstract
A 35-years old female with Jordans' anomaly was reported. She had been treated for diabetes mellitus and hypertension at another hospital. She was admitted to our hospital for operation for diabetic retinopathy on July 9, 1992. Wright-Giemsa stained peripheral blood smear revealed multiple vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the granulocytes and monocytes. Histochemical studies of these vacuoles showed positive for Sudan III but negative for peroxidase, alkaline phosphatase and PAS staining. Electron microscopic examination revealed that lipid containing vacuoles had no clear membrane and were not associated with cell organelles. Laboratory findings of the serum showed hyperglycemia (FBS 188mg/dl), high HbA1c level (9.4%) and mild type IIa hyperlipidemia. Abdominal sonogram and abdominal CT showed no remarkable abnormalities except for mild fatty liver. Her elder sister and daughter had similar morphological findings in granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between urinary chiro-inositol excretion and insulin sensitivity in Japanese type II diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Eighteen subjects were age-matched, nonobese, type II diabetic patients. Eight subjects had impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and 10 had normal glucose tolerance (NGT). We quantified urinary chiro-inositol excretion using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and the insulin sensitivity index (SI), and glucose effectiveness (SG) using Bergman's modified minimal model method. RESULTS The urinary excretion of chiro-inositol was much lower in the diabetic patients (32.3 +/- 16.0 mumol/day, means +/- SD) than in the NGT subjects (96.0 +/- 17.6; P < 0.0001) and IGT subjects (58.9 +/- 11.6; P < 0.0001). SI was much lower in the diabetic patients (3.81 +/- 1.49) than in the NGT subjects 6.30 +/- 1.59, P < 0.0005). SG was much lower in the diabetic patients (2.14 +/- 0.56) than in the NGT subjects (3.07 +/- 0.38, P < 0.0001). There was a significant correlation between urinary chiro-inositol excretion and SI (r = 0.766), as well as a significant correlation between urinary chiro-inositol excretion and SG (r = 0.747).

Abstract
A 63-year-old man was successfully operated upon concomitantly for coronary artery disease and invasive thymoma. The chest roentogenogram showed a mass shadow in the anterior mediastinum, which was 6.0 x 4.0 cm in size and irregular. Coronary angiography revealed complete obstruction of the right coronary artery and 90% stenosis of the first diagonal branch (#9). Following thymectomy combined with the resection of the left phrenic nerve and the mediastinal pleura, coronary artery bypass grafting with the major saphenous vein was performed to #4 PD and #9. This is the first report of concomitant surgery for the ischemic heart disease and invasive thymoma in Japan.

Abstract
The prognosis and the recovery process of facial nerve paralysis were reviewed in 74 patients who, despite preservation of nerve continuity, showed no facial movement after acoustic neuroma resection. In 50 or 67.6% of patients, facial movement recovered sufficiently so as not to require any reanimation procedures. However, no apparent sign of remission was observed for 7-49 months in the other 24 patients (32.4%), and hypoglossal-facial nerve anastomosis was performed in 20 of these patients. When remission was seen, the first sign of muscle movement appeared most frequently after 3-4 months but, in a small number of patients, it was also seen within 1.5 months or after 5-10 months. Based upon these results, the timing of reanimation procedures for facial nerve paralysis following acoustic neuroma resection is discussed.

Abstract
The immunohistochemical study revealed tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT), serotonin, glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) immunoreactivities in the mouse carotid body. TH and DBH immunoreactivities were found in almost all chief cells and a few ganglion cells, and in relatively numerous varicose nerve fibers of the carotid body. The histofluorescence microscopy showed catecholamine fluorescence in almost all chief cells. However, no PNMT immunoreactivity was observed in the carotid body. Serotonin, GAD and GABA immunoreactivities were also seen in almost all chief cells of the carotid body. From combined immunohistochemistry and fluorescence histochemistry, catecholamine and serotonin or catecholamine and GABA were colocalized in almost all chief cells. Thus, these findings suggest that noradrenaline, serotonin and GABA may be synthesized and co-exist in almost all chief cells of the mouse carotid body and may play roles in chemoreceptive functions.

Abstract
Clarithromycin dry syrup, a new drug preparation, was clinically evaluated in the pediatric field and the following results were obtained: 1. Absorption and excretion In infants administered with single oral dose of 5 mg (potency)/kg and 10 mg/kg, the Cmax was 2.26 +/- 0.42 and 3.23 micrograms/ml; Tmax, 1.6 +/- 0.1 and 2.0 hours; T 1/2, 3.89 +/- 0.52 and 2.06 hours; AUC (0-infinity), 13.48 +/- 1.93 and 13.84 micrograms.hr/ml, respectively. Urinary concentrations peaked in 2-4 hours after administration at 5 mg/kg and 0-2 hours at 10 mg/kg. Urinary recovery rates in the first 6 hours were 25.8 +/- 3.9% at 5 mg/kg and 20.7% at 10 mg/kg. 2. Clinical results The clinical efficacy of the drug was evaluated in 150 patients with various infections. Clarithromycin dry syrup was administered to all the patients at daily doses of 10-15 mg/kg divided into 2-3 equal doses. The overall clinical efficacy rate was 98.0%, and this drug was effective in 98.9% of 90 patients for whom the causative pathogens were identified and in 96.7% of the other 60 patients for whom the causative pathogens were unknown. The bacteriological eradication rate was 88.5%. The efficacy and eradication rates for 19 patients who had not responded to previous chemotherapy that lasted for more than three days were 94.7% (18/19) and 75.0%, respectively. Side effects occurred in 4 (2.4%) of 169 patients subjected to safety analyses, but none was serious. As to abnormal laboratory test results, moderate increases of eosinophils and elevations of transaminases were observed in 5.9% of the cases. No particular and serious problems were associated with administration of this drug. Based on the above results, clarithromycin dry syrup is considered to be very useful and have a good compliance at a daily dose of 10-15 mg/kg divided into 2-3 doses.

Abstract
We prepared various novel tricyclic 1,4-benzodiazepine derivatives as cholecystokinin (CCK) A antagonists, which were evaluated preliminarily for inhibition of 125I-CCK-8 binding to rat pancreatic membranes in vitro and inhibiting effect on CCK-8-induced inhibition of charcoal meal gastric emptying in mice. On the basis of structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, as well as the stability and availability of the starting materials of those compounds, (S)-N-[1-(2-fluorophenyl)-3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-4-oxo- pyrrolo[3,2,1-jk][1,4]benzodiazepin-3-yl]- 1H-indole-2-carboxamide (9f, FK-480) was selected as a candidate compound for further evaluation. The absolute configuration of the precursor of FK-480, (3S)-amino-1,4-benzodiazepine derivative ((S)-8a, R1 = F) was determined by an X-ray crystallographic study of its ureido derivative with (S)-alpha-methylbenzyl isocyanate. FK-480 is now undergoing clinical studies for the treatment of chronic pancreatitis.

Abstract
We reported a case of successful treatment of disseminated breast cancer with epirubicin (EPI), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), and medroxyprogesterone (MPA). The patient was a 49-year-old female with bone and liver metastasis developed 5 years after surgery. The primary tumor was ER-positive, and she had been treated previously with adjuvant therapy using UFT and tamoxifen. The treatment consisted of 3 cycles of thrice-weekly EPI (40mg), 5-FU (500mg) and CPA (500mg). The patient was then treated with a weekly schedule of EPI (10mg), 5-FU (50mg/day), CPA (50mg/day) and MPA (400mg/day). After 2 years, her bone and liver metastasis showed remarkable remission (PR). No side effects of this chemotherapy were observed. In the search for palliative treatments which have a minimal impact on normal lifestyle, low toxicity is important. PR was continued for 2 years, and the patient enjoyed a favorable quality of life. This low dose-weekly approach was very well tolerated, yet was effective.

Abstract
According to the authors' clinical experience, malocclusion accompanied by temporomandibular joint disorder involves mainly cross bite, open bite, deep overbite or axillary protrusion. However, it is possible that the symptoms of this disorder are associated with other types of malocclusion or even with nearly normal occlusion. In fact, it can be said that temporomandibular joint disorder may develop with any type of occlusion. This paper reports a case of open bite accompanied by temporomandibular joint disorder occurring in a patient who visited our hospital because of pain in the left temporomandibular joint region, vertigo and partial deafness. In this patient, the temporomandibular symptoms disappeared after orthodontic treatment. The patient received no particular treatment thereafter because follow-up observation confirmed that the therapeutic results were favorable without any relapse of the symptoms of temporomandibular disorder. The positions of the temporomandibular joint and mandibular condyle were determined in lateral-oblique radiograms obtained using our radiographic system, by which the mandibular condyle is radiographed using a projection consistent with its long axis.

Abstract
A synthetic heptapeptide H-Ser-Phe-Phe-Leu-Arg-Asn-Pro-NH2, which corresponds to the ligand peptide latent in rodent thrombin receptors, was able to activate the thrombin receptor with no thrombin. In order to evaluate the structural requisites of two consecutive phenylalanines, three sets of analogs with substitutions at position either 2 or 3 were synthesized and examined for their stimulatory activity in phosphoinositide turnover in SH-EP epithelial-like cells. The replacement of Phe-2 by Ala completely eliminated the activity, while that of Phe-3 retained about 50% activity with a full stimulation. The Phe/Leu substitution resulted in a large increase (37-fold) in EC50 value for Phe-2, but in insignificant change for Phe-3. Substitution of para-fluorophenylalanine ((p-F)Phe) for Phe-2 enhanced strongly (4-fold) the activity, in contrast to a reduction by the Phe-3/(p-F)Phe substitution. Elimination of either Phe-2 or Phe-3 resulted in a complete loss of activity. These results indicated that Phe-2 and Phe-3 play different roles in the receptor activation. A highly specific aromatic phi-phi interaction was suggested between Phe-2-phenyl and thrombin receptor binding site, while Phe-3 appeared to be important for retaining a bioactive conformation.

Abstract
The effects of dexamethasone (DEX) on a lethal infection with Listeria monocytogenes were studied in mice. Mice were completely protected against the lethal infection when treated with 3.3 mg per kg of DEX. The effect was observed only when DEX was injected before infection. The control mice died from day 3 to day 5 of infection, whereas DEX-treated mice could eliminate L. monocytogenes cells from the organs by day 11 of infection. High titres of endogenous tumour necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) were induced in the bloodstreams and organs of the drug-free mice. DEX suppressed IL-6 production, but augmented TNF and IFN-gamma production within 24 h of infection, whereas production of all three endogenous cytokines was suppressed in the DEX-treated mice on day 3 of infection when the control mice began to die. These results suggest that DEX shows a protective effect on a lethal infection with L. monocytogenes in mice and that regulation of production of endogenous cytokines might be involved in the effect of DEX.
