Abstract
Qualitative and quantitative analysis were carried out on the samples of Rhizoma Corydalis in both the locally vinegar-processed (fresh) and traditionally vinegar-processed forms. No difference was found in the main chemical constituents. However, both the total alkaloids and the corydalis B content of the former are higher than those of the latter.

Abstract
It is known that gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of epilepsy. Under physiological conditions it is very difficult for GABA to cross the blood-brain barrier. It is likely that the esters of GABA, Which easily enter the brain, will have useful therapeutic properties. With this in mind, we have designed and synthesized 8 derivatives (IVa to IVh) of gamma-aminobutyric acid with an imine to link a lipophilic carrier in order to facilitate the passage of gamma-aminobutyric acid to cross the blood-brain barrier. All the eight synthesized title compounds were evaluated as anticonvulsants in mice via the Antiepileptic Drug Development Program of NIH. The compounds IVb and IVf showed anticonvulsant activity.

Abstract
The phase analysis of the radionuclide angiographic images in normal subjects, RBBB, LBBB, WPW syndrome of 21, 23, 10, 17 cases respectively was reported. The results of the abnormal conduction groups showed that the parameters of the mean phase angle were delayed as compared with that in the normal group. The mean phase angles were 52.6 +/- 13.4 degrees in the normal group and 85.7 +/- 24.8 degrees, 84.5 +/- 17.4 degrees, 70.0 +/- 40.5 degrees, 78.3 +/- 35.6 degrees in the RBBB, LBBB, WPW-A and WPW-B groups respectively. There was a significant difference between the normal and abnormal conduction groups except for the WPW-A group. Furthermore, the sequential activation of cardiac wall showing the abnormal cardiac conduction could be seen by this method. It seems that phase analysis may be taken as a good noninvasive and adjunctive method for the evaluation of patients with WPW syndrome.

Abstract
Based on anatomic, dye injection, and angiography observations since 1984, 72 patients with tissue defects of the foot (due to injury or surgery) have been reconstructed using a reverse-flow posterior tibial artery island flap. In the 72 patients, etiology has included extensive crushing (40 patients), burn scars (10 patients), and tissue loss following tumor or chronic ulcer resection (22 patients). Only two flaps developed necrosis. The survival rate was 97.2 percent, including seven cases of distal marginal necrosis. This procedure, therefore, offers a useful alternative in the repair and reconstruction of extensive tissue defects in the foot, whether caused by accidental injury or surgery.

Abstract
We established an efficient and reproducible procedure for protoplast propagation and fertile plant regeneration of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars Nipponbare and Taipei 309. Selection of scutellum-derived secondary calli, the use of General medium and nurse culture were all found to be critical in the procedure. When 5 basal media (Murashige and Skoog, RY-2, modified R2, Amino Acid and General media) were compared, suspension callus growth rate, protoplast yield and plating efficiency were all about 30% higher in General medium than in the second-best R2 medium. Only one month was required to develop suspension cultures for protoplast isolation using General medium. A plating efficiency as high as 17% and a plant regeneration frequency of 67% were achieved by the improved procedure. Agronomic traits of protoplast- and seed-derived plants were found to be similar.

Abstract
We have established an efficient procedure for protoplast transformation and regeneration of fertile transgenic plants of rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars Nipponbare and Taipei 309. Protoplasts were mixed with a plant-expressible hygromycin resistance gene and treated with 25% (w/v) polyethylene glycol. Stringent selection of transformed colonies was applied to 14-day-old regenerated protoplasts in the presence of 95 micromolar of hygromycin B for 12 days. After selection, 450 and 200 resistant colonies were recovered per million treated Taipei 309 and Nipponbare protoplasts, respectively. Southern hybridization analysis of hygromycin-resistant cell lines and regenerated plants indicated that 1 to 10 copies of transferred DNA were integrated at 1 to 4 loci of the rice genome. Southern DNA analysis suggests that the introduced plasmid DNA may form concatemers by intermolecular recombination prior to integration. Four Taipei 309 and 39 Nipponbare transgenic rice plants were regenerated and grown to maturity in the greenhouse. Two Taipei 309 and 35 Nipponbare plants set viable seeds. Agronomic traits of Taipei 309 transgenic plants and inheritance of the hygromycin resistance trait by progeny of the selfed transgenic plants were analyzed.

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
Autoradiography was utilized to explore the patterns of distribution of two different monoclonal antibodies (Lym-1 and TNT-1) in tumor-bearing nude mice. Lym-1 is an antibody against a cell surface B-cell antigen. In comparison, TNT-1 represents a novel approach and is an antibody against an intracellular (nuclear) antigen that is selectively revealed in degenerating tumor cells. Experimentally iodine-125-(125I) labeled Lym-1 or TNT-1 was injected intravenously into nude mice bearing either the Raji lymphoma or the ME-180 human cervical carcinoma. Qualitative autoradiographic analyses performed after injection revealed that Lym-1 accumulated at the periphery of the target tumor where vascular permeability is marked and where Lym-1 positive cells are first encountered. By contrast, TNT-1 lost its initial peripheral distribution and demonstrated progressive concentration in the center of the tumor where binding to its nuclear antigen is facilitated by the presence of cell degeneration and necrosis. These studies confirm the ability of TNT-1 to bind areas deep within tumor that traditionally are considered inaccessible to antibodies administered for imaging and therapy.

Abstract
Birth defects surveillance (BDS) data of Cangzhou area, Hebei province in 1986 was studied to compare the prevalence rate from hospital based data (HBD) with that from community based data (CBD). Of 7,742 total births, 4,245 (55%) were born in the county hospitals and above, and 3,497 (45%) in the township hospitals and homes. The birth defects prevalence rate (BDPR) from HBD was 30.9 per 1,000 total births, while that from CBD was 10.5 per 1,000 total births. The difference was statistically significant (P less than 0.05). It was found that the higher BDPR from HBD was associated with the greater percentage of high risk pregnancies who delivered at the hospitals and who had higher risk of birth defects. The relationship of BDPRs between HBD and CBD, and others potential related factors need to be further studied.

Abstract
The contractile response to acetylcholine (ACh) and the binding of [3H]-quinuclidinyl benzilate [( 3H]QNB) to muscarinic receptors in both longitudinal and circular muscles were examined in fundus, body and antrum of human stomach which was obtained by surgical operation for gastric cancer or ulcer. The values of pD2 and pA2 for ACh and atropine, respectively, on longitudinal muscle of fundus were similar to those of body but were larger than those of antrum. On the other hand, the values of pD2 and pA2 on circular muscles were not different among fundus, body, and antrum and were similar to those on longitudinal muscle of antrum. By Scatchard analysis of receptor binding of [3H]QNB in homogenate, at least two subclasses of binding sites, i.e. high and low affinity sites, were observed in fundus and body, while only high affinity binding site was found in antrum. Thus, we conclude that there are at least two subclasses of muscarinic receptors which regulate the contraction of smooth muscle in different regions of human stomach.

Abstract
We investigated the constitution of the vimentin regulatory region through the use of cloned deletion mutants and the nucleotide sequence analysis in order to determine the elements which are implicated in the various physiological stimulations. We report that the vimentin promoter is constituted of a juxtaposition of at least 20 different putative regulatory elements illustrating the molecular tinkering theory. Fifty-eight motifs were found, representing 20 different sequences. Each of these mini-elements displays a consensus sequence homologous to or closely related to that found in regulatory regions of different genes correlated with processes of cell activation and proliferation.

Abstract
Creation of a smooth side wall arteriotomy for an end-to-side microsurgical anastomosis can at times be difficult and time consuming. To facilitate this maneuver, a new end-to-side microarteriotomy scissor was designed for creation of recipient vessel openings from 0.5-2 mm in size. These new scissors and their recommended use are described.

Abstract
In 81 anesthetized rabbits, the baroreflex control of heart rate (HR), hind-limb vascular resistance (HVR) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) was observed during arterial baroreceptor loading and unloading by intravenously injecting phenylephrine (PE) and nitroprusside (NP). The results were as follows: (1) An increase of arterial pressure with PE caused reduction in HR, HVR and RSNA, while a decrease of arterial pressure with NP evoked opposite responses. These reflex responses were reproducible. (2) By either carotid baroreceptor denervation (CBRX) or aortic baroreceptor denervation (ABRX), the reflex changes of HR induced by injecting PE and NP were impaired (P less than 0.01), while the reflex responses in HVP remained unchanged. Despite of the enhanced basal RSNA following ABRX or CBRX, the magnitude of reflex inhibition in RSNA during injecting NP was similar to that before denervation, whereas that of the reflex excitation in RSNA during injecting NP was reduced (P less than 0.05). (3) After complete sino-aortic denervation (SAD), the change of arterial pressure following PE or NP injection was enhanced, but the reflex changes in HR, HVR and RSNA were significantly diminished (P less than 0.001). (4) Vagotomy abolished the residual reflex changes observed after SAD. The results indicate that the aortic and carotid baroreceptors may regulate HR in a simple additive manner, while the aortic baroreceptor seems to be more important. Furthermore, both the aortic and carotid baroreceptors may play important roles for the reflex control of HVR and RSNA, and operate mutually by the way of inhibitory summation.
