Abstract
Conflicting reports exist concerning the presence of a Na(+)-coupled amino acid transport system in cultured endothelial cells. We have employed a non-metabolizable analog, 2-aminoisobutyric acid (AIB), to investigate the activity of Na(+)-dependent amino acid transport in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). We found a pronounced saturable, Na(+)-dependent component of AIB uptake in 'fresh' (non-starved) HUVEC. The Na(+)-dependent component accounted for 78% of total AIB uptake with a high sensitivity to external Na+. The accumulation of AIB was inhibited by ouabain preincubation, consistent with the energetics of Na(+)-coupled transport. Amiloride, an epithelial Na+ channel blocker, also inhibited AIB transport at high concentration. The results strongly support the presence of a Na(+)-coupled transport system of amino acid in HUVEC.

Abstract
Insertion/deletion (Ins/Del) polymorphism of the apo B gene encoding signal peptide and its relation to coronary heart disease (CHD) and lipid trait were studied in 103 patients with CHD and 100 healthy individuals from Chinese Han nationality. The frequency of rare Del allele was 0.259, which was significantly lower than 0.34 in Caucasians (France), but higher than 0.16 in South Asian descents in UK. When the frequency distribution of the Ins/Del alleles was compared between CHD group and control group, the frequency of rare Del allele in the patient group was not apparently different from that in the control group (0.282 vs. 0.235, P > 0.05). As for the impact of the Ins/Del genotype on levels of lipid and apolipoprotein, the patients with at least one Del allele had significantly lower HDL-C level compared with those with only Ins allele in the CHD group (P < 0.01). Levels of other lipid parameters in each group were not obviously associated with the Ins/Del genotype. It is suggested that the Ins/Del polymorphism of the apo B signal peptide might be involved in lipid metabolism by an unidentified mechanism in some ethnic population. PCR is a useful method for distinguishing Ins/Del polymorphism of the apo B signal peptide.

Abstract
Two polymorphic sites of apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene, XbaI and EcoRI, were examined in 80 patients with documented coronary heart disease (CHD) and 60 healthy individuals selected from a population of Chinese Han nationality. Allele frequencies at these sites were compared between the patients and controls and their impact on lipid metabolism was also investigated. The frequency of X+ allele (presence of XbaI cutting site) in CHD patients was 0.10, which was significantly higher than 0.01 in controls (P < 0.001). The same trend was detected for frequency of E-allele (lack of EcoRI cutting site) when it was compared between CHD patients and controls (0.11 vs 0.05), the difference was not statistically significant (P < 0.1, > 0.05). There was no relationship between XbaI RFLP and EcoRI RFLP. In the CHD patients, X+ allele was associated with the lower levels of HDL-C and apoAI when compared with X- allele, while no associations were found of X+ allele with other lipid parameters. On the contrary, the EcoRI polymorphism had no significant influence on plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels. Therefore, it was suggested that genetic variation at XbaI site of apoB gene might contribute to the determination of plasma HDL-C level and development of CHD in people among Chinese Han nationality.

Abstract
Thirty children with atopic dermatitis were enrolled in our study to evaluate the food specific IgE antibody assay (RAST) and skin tests as a screening test for food hypersensitivity. Our results showed that eight food antigens (fish, shrimp, crab, soybean, milk, egg-white, peanut, wheat) frequently elicited positive hypersensitivity reactions. Twenty-four patients had at least a positive skin reaction to one of the foods tested. Of the 240 skin tests, 30% (72/240) yield positive reactions. Eighteen patients had at least a positive RAST reaction to one of the foods tested, 20.9% (50/240) yield positive reaction. The agreement between skin test and RAST was 79.6%. Crab and shrimp accounted for most frequent positive reaction in both tests. The skin tests produced more positive results in skin testing than RAST, but gave a higher frequency of false positive results. The diagnosis of food allergy may be suspected from the medical history or by food specific IgE antibodies together with skin test as a screening test. Furthermore, the double blind placebo controlled food challenge should be considered as standard for clinical investigations.

Abstract
The changes of serum lipids concentrations in 15 patients with primary hypothyroidism were studied. 9 euthyroid persons in the similar age group with patients were selected as a control group. The serum levels of total and LDL cholesterol, TG, ApoAI, ApoB and ApoCII in patients before treatment were all higher than those of the control group. They decreased to normal level after treatment. The mean values of total cholesterol decreased from 6.7 mmol/L to 4.1 mmol/L, TG decreased from 2.5 mmol/L to 1.0 mmol/L, LDI-ch from 3.9 mmol/L to 2.4 mmol/L, ApoAI from 1.9 g/L, to 1.3g/L, ApoB from 1.2 g/L to 0.7 g/L and ApoCII decreased from 6.9 mg/dl to 3.9 mg/dl. There were no differences of HDI-ch level between patients before treatment and normal controls, HDI-ch level of patients only slightly decreased after treatment. Soon after the thyroid hormone treatment, all parameters of serum lipids, not including HDI-ch, were improved, as TT, level became normal, although the levels of TT4 was still not reached to normal level.

Abstract
Although radionuclide hysterosalpingography (RNHSG) has been suggested as an efficient procedure for assessing function of fallopian tubes, the radiation dose to the ovaries was addressed as an important issue to be taken into consideration. We describe a modified method of RNHSG, calculating the radiation dose to the ovaries. A small dose of approximately 18.5 MBq (0.5 mCi) of [99mTc]pertechnetate was administered directly into the uterine cavity without overpressure. The accuracy of the method was 84.5% as compared with the contrast hysterosalpingography. The estimated average dose to the ovaries was 0.057 mGy/MBq (0.21 rad/mCi) or 1.08 mGy (108 mrad) per study. RNHSG is an accurate method for functional study of fallopian tube patency with low radiation dose.

Abstract
During a 2-year period from January 1988 to December 1989, 125 patients (68 boys, 57 girls), aged 30 days to 9 years, were diagnosed as rotavirus gastroenteritis at this hospital. Diagnosis was made by identification of the rotavirus antigen in stool samples by latex agglutination assay. Ninety-nine (79.2%) of them were under 2 years of age. The seasonal peak in incidence was from January to March. The most common clinical characteristics were watery diarrhea (100%), followed by vomiting (68.8%), fever (68.0%), cough (42.4%), rhinorrhea (17.6%), convulsions (6.4%) and moderate to severe dehydration (1.6%). Fecal occult blood was positive in 4 patients and fecal leukocytes were positive in one patient. Stool cultures revealed concomitant infections with enteropathogenic Escherichia coli in 4 patients. Of the 106 patients who underwent serum electrolyte examinations, serum sodium concentrations ranged from 135-145 meq/L in 81.9% (86/106) and serum potassium concentrations ranged from 3.5-5.0 meq/L in 86.8% (92/106). Leukocyte counts greater than 15,000/mm3 were found in 10.8% (13/120) of the patients. All 125 patients recovered from the diarrheal illness on follow-up. Our results showed a different seasonal distribution of this disease from that of a previous observation between 1983-1984 in Taipei City and provides original clinical information on rotavirus gastroenteritis in children living in an area of Taipei County. Using the simple and rapid latex agglutination assay, we can make early diagnosis of rotavirus gastroenteritis. Thus, early treatment and early isolation of patients to prevent nosocomial infection among hospitalized patients is possible.

Abstract
Long-term and large scale cultivation of an anchorage-dependent cell line using an industrial scale hollow fiber perfusion bioreactor is described. Hep G2 cells (a human hepatoma cell line) were cultivated in an Acusyst-P (Endotronic) with a total fiber surface area of 7.2 m2 6 x 1.2m2) to produce Hep G2 crude conditioned medium (CCM). Pretreatment of the cellulose acetate hollow fibers with collagen enhances the attachment of the anchorage-dependent cells. We have succeeded in growing the Hep G2 cells in an antibiotics- and serum-free IMDM medium, supplemented with 50 micrograms/ml of Hep G2 CCM protein at inoculation. The Hep G2 cells replicate and secrete CCM protein in quantities comparable to those produced in DMEM containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). The highest CCM protein productivity during the 80-day cultivation was 1.1 g/day with a total of 30 g of protein accumulated. Hep G2 CCM (20-40 micrograms protein/ml) was comparable to or even better than 10% FCS in supporting the growth of Molt-4 (a human T leukemia cell line) and FO (a mouse myeloma cell line) cells in vitro. The availability of this large amount of Hep G2 CCM will aid the further purification and characterization of growth factor(s) which could be used as serum substituents.

Abstract
Distribution of apoE3/3, E3/4 and E2/3 were 88.2%, 9.7% and 2.2%, respectively, in a Mongolian population. No apoE2/2, E2/4 or E4/4 phenotypes were found in this study. The population of apo E3/3 and frequency of epsilon 3 in this Mongolian population were significantly higher than those of Western populations and the Han nationality of China. The above results indicated that apoE phenotypes are closely related to lipid levels. The cholesterol levels of individuals with apoE3/3 phenotype were much lower than those of individuals with apoE2/3 (P less than 0.01) and higher than those of individuals with apoE3/4 (P less than 0.05). The levels of apoA-1 of individuals with apoE3/3 were much lower than those of individuals with apoE2/3 (P less than 0.01), but no difference was found between apoE3/3 and apoE3/4 phenotypes (P greater than 0.05).

Abstract
Thirteen isolates of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) from eel and rainbow trout in Taiwan were compared with the selected serotypes AB, SP and VR-299 by PAGE analysis of their RNA genomes and early polypeptides. All the IPNV isolates from eels (1984 to 1986) from Lu Kang and Ping Tung, and from rainbow trout eggs and fry from Dan Sway (1985 to 1986) were most closely related to the AB serotype. However four rainbow trout isolates from Dan Sway (1984) had a similar RNA pattern to that of VR-299, whereas their early polypeptides were different, showing evidence of some mutations. Both RNA and polypeptide PAGE patterns were used to distinguish the isolates from known selected IPNV strains showing that this approach can be used for epizootiological studies.

Abstract
The levels of prostaglandins E, E2 and F2a (PGE, PGE2, PGF2a) in plasma of NPC patients, patients with other tumors and normal individuals were monitored by radioimmunoassay. The results showed that PGE and PGE2 levels in the plasma of NPC and other cancer patients were significantly higher but the PGF2a/PGE2 ratio was obviously lower than that of the normal (P less than 0.05). But there were not much changes in the PGF2a levels (P greater than 0.05). However, no difference was found between the PG8 levels of the NPC and the other cancer patients (P greater than 0.05). Neither were there any significant changes in the PGE2 and PGF2a plasma levels and ratio of PGF2a/PGE2 in 26 NPC patients staged according to TNM classification. It is indicated that there is a relation between PGE, PGE2 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Abstract
In order to study the tissue-specific expression of rabbit apolipoprotein (apo) A-I, a 923-base-pair clone, pRBA-502, complementary to rabbit apo A-I mRNA was identified from a rabbit intestinal cDNA library by hybrid-select translation and immunoprecipitation methods. Northern blot and dot-blot hybridization, utilizing 32P-labeled pRBA-502, revealed that the rabbit apo A-I gene is expressed in the intestine, not in the liver and that rabbit apo A-I mRNA is about 950 nucleotides in length. The entire nucleotide sequence of pRBA-502 has been determined and the complete amino acid sequence of the corresponding apo A-I has been deduced. The mRNA codes for a protein comprising 265 amino acids. Amino acids 1-18 and 19-24 of the primary translation product represent the presegment and prosegment, respectively, of apo A-I. Matured rabbit apo A-I contains 241 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 27612 Da. Using pRBA-502 as a probe, a 15.5-kb genomic fragment, which contains the entire apo A-I gene, was isolated from a rabbit liver genomic library. Sequence analysis of the gene shows that the 200 base pairs of the 5' upstream flanking region of the rabbit and human apo A-I genes showed 78% sequence homology. Like the human apo A-I gene, the rabbit apo A-I gene is interrupted by three intervening sequences. Except for two nucleotides in the fourth exon, the coding sequence of the rabbit liver apo A-I gene is identical to that of pRBA-502. Our data showed that the lack of expression of apo A-I gene in rabbit liver is not due to the alternation of rabbit liver apo A-I gene sequence and suggest that the expression of apo A-I gene in rabbit liver is regulated by a trans-acting regulating element(s).

Abstract
In order to study the primary structure of rabbit apolipoprotein (apo) E and the regulation of levels of liver apo E mRNA by dietary cholesterol, we have cloned and sequenced a full length rabbit apo E cDNA. DNA sequence analyses suggests that rabbit apo E is synthesized with an additional 18 amino acids as the prepeptide. The mature rabbit apo E contains 293 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 33,528. It has a 76% amino acid sequence homology with human apo E. Northern blot analyses showed that rabbit apo E mRNA is about 1200 nucleotides in length. Using mRNA dot blot analyses, we found that dietary cholesterol has no effect on the level of apo E mRNA in rabbit liver. We conclude that the elevated levels of plasma apo E in rabbits fed a cholesterol-rich diet is not a result of an increase of levels of apo E mRNA in the liver.
