Abstract
Percutaneous transluminal laser angioplasty (PTLA) has been carried out on 63 peripheral arterial occlusive lesions in 43 patients. Most patients complained of intermittent claudication. The sites of lesions are the iliac artery (28 lesions or 44.4%), the femoropopliteal artery (30 lesions or 47.6%), and the below knee artery (5 lesions or 8.0%). There are 54 lesions (85.7%) that showed over 70% stenosis, with 19 of them complete occlusions (30.2%). Out of 63 lesions, 16 lesions or 25.4% had occlusions of over 10 cm. A Nd:YAG laser (1.06 microns, continuous wave) was used for the vaporization of atheromatous plaque and old thrombus. The laser was irradiated by increments of 1 to 2 seconds at 80W using the non-contact method, at 10-25W using the contact method with a ceramic tip and at 10-15W with a bare laser fiber. Balloon dilatation was then utilized. The initial success rate was 85.7%. The 5 year cumulative patency rate after PTLA is 88.4% in total cases, 88.7% in the iliac artery, 86.1% in the femoropopliteal artery, and 100% in the below knee artery. The 5 year cumulative patency rate for stenosis of the iliac artery is 91.0%, and it is 92% for stenosis of the femoropopliteal artery, and 81% for occlusion of the femoropopliteal artery. PTLA seems to have improved the cumulative patency rate when compared with that of conventional PTA.

Abstract
The genes for extracellular neutral protease (Npr) and intracellular serine protease (Isp) were cloned from Bacillus polymyxa in order to elucidate the process involved in the generation of multiple beta-amylases and an alpha-amylase from a large amylase precursor. The npr gene was composed of 1,770 bp and 570 amino acids, while the isp gene was composed of 978 bp and 326 amino acids. Both proteases produced by E. coli cleaved the amylase precursor to generate beta- and alpha-amylases. Furthermore, several other proteases produced the same products from the precursor. A 130-kDa amylase precursor has two large domain structures responsible for the generation of beta- and alpha-amylases. The junction region of approximately 200 amino acids may be exposed on the surface of the molecule and susceptible to proteolytic enzymes, which results in the formation of multiple amylases.

Abstract
Following the resection of its primary lesion, continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion (CHPP) with anticancer drug (mitomycin C, cisplatin) containing warmed physiological saline was performed on gastric cancer having peritoneal dissemination, and the effect of CHPP was examined by second look operation (SLO). The subjects were 41 cases of gastric cancer with peritoneal dissemination but without hepatic metastasis, which we have experienced in the past 7 years. The prognosis of these CHPP-treated cases was such that 50% survival period, 3 year survival rate and 5 year survival rate were 398 days, 28.5 and 12%, respectively. Comparison of the effects of CHPP by SLO revealed remarkable diminution of the peritoneal dissemination in 7 (44%) of 16 cases and disappearance of the ascites with a single course of CHPP in 7 of ascitic cases. Long-term survival (greater than 3 years) was noted in 4 of the CHPP-treated cases. Side effects were renal insufficiency, leukopenia and small intestinal perforation in 2(5), 2(5) and 1 cases (2%), respectively. The above results suggested the effectiveness of CHPP for the treatment of gastric cancer having peritoneal dissemination.

Abstract
CDDP, MMC, UFT and Etoposide (PMUE)-combined therapy was applied to 60 cases of terminal gastric cancer to examine its effectiveness. PMUE therapy consists of i.v. injection of CDDP 75 mg/body and MMC 10 mg/body on day 1, i.v. injection of Etoposide 50 mg/body on days 3, 4 and 5 and consecutive daily administration of UFT 400 mg/body, with 3 weeks as one course. Of 42 cases having estimable lesions, 23 (53.8%) showed high rate of effectiveness (PR). Especially, of 23 cases receiving no previous treatment, 15 (65.2%) benefitted by the therapy (PR) and 9 (69.2%) of 13 non-resected cases, to a wonderful extent. Five non-resected cases showed such a reduction in tumor size as made gastrectomy possible. As for the prognosis, one year-survival rate was 34.3, 49.0 and 16.0% for all 42 cases, 23 effective cases and 19 ineffective cases, respectively, with significant (p less than 0.001) prognostic prolongation for effective cases compared with ineffective ones. Side effects were digestive symptoms (85.7%), epilation (81.0%) and myelopathy (73.8%), which were all transitory and recovered. The present PMUE therapy was regarded as one of the best combined chemotherapies for terminal gastric cancer.

Abstract
Four patients with pseudomyxoma peritonei were studied by computed tomography. CT images in all cases showed low density area simulating ascites in the peritoneal cavity. The low density area was due to gelatinous masses, which were proved by surgery or autopsy. The CT number of gelatinous masses was almost equal to that of water. Scalloping of liver and separated intestinal loops in the low density area were seen. One case had scattered calcifications in the low density area. The calcification in the low density area is a specific finding in pseudomyxoma peritonei.

Abstract
It is very common for intraarterial infusion therapy of some anticancer agent to be effective against hepatocellular carcinoma. In this case, the patient was a 74-year-old man who suffered from very advanced hepatocellular carcinoma with tumor thrombus of the intrahepatic portal vein and IVC. He was treated with intraarterial infusion of CDDP, Etoposide, 5-FU, through a catheter placed in the proper hepatic artery. CDDP (30 mg/day) and Etoposide (60 mg/day) were given once every 5 days, and then 5-FU(250 mg/day) was infused daily for 26 days. The patient underwent this protocol study twice in 3 months. After the intraarterial infusion, transarterial embolization using CDDP (100 mg) powder added to lipiodol and aluminum stearate as suspension was done a month later. The tumor regression rate was 84% after intraarterial infusion of CDDP, Etoposide and 5-FU. The tumor thrombus in the intrahepatic portal vein and IVC had completely disappeared. We could not find lipiodol accumulated in the tumor after TAE. Thus, we assumed that the remaining tumor was a necrotic scar and that a complete response was obtained in the patient. There were some side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, pancytopenia and gastritis but no severe complication occurred.

Abstract
A new technique of intra-arterial catheterization via the branch of left axillary artery is described. This provides relatively swift and safe insertion and long-term placement of an infusion catheter through the left thoracoacrominal artery without exposure of the left axillary artery, that was required by conventional methods. With our technique, the tip of the catheter tends to enter the distal axillary artery because of oblique angulation of the trunk of the thoracoacrominal artery. Therefore, the tip of the catheter in the axillary artery must be deflected using a deflecting guidewire, so that it will advance into the subclavian artery and then down to the descending aorta. The deflection guidewire can also be of help when the catheter tip migrates into either celiac or SMA. The selective catheterization has been successful in all twenty seven patients without preliminary selective left subclavian arteriography.

Abstract
Chemoembolization therapy, using the arterial injection of mixtures of various anticancer agents and lipiodol along with gelfoam particles, was carried out on 77 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma between January 1985 and March 1987, and an assessment was made on the anticancer effects of this treatment method. For the patients receiving lipiodol, the value of the longitudinal dimension multiplied by the vertical length of the tumor was calculated using a computerized tomograph before and after chemoembolization to determine the rate of tumor regression. (a) Of the 30 patients receiving chemoembolization therapy using a simple mixture of 100 mg cisplatin (CDDP) and lipiodol, the tumor regression rate was 50% or more in 10 cases (31%). (b) Of the 14 patients receiving chemoembolization therapy with a suspension of 100 mg of cisplatin, adriamycin (10-30 mg) and lipiodol, the tumor regression rate was 50% or more in four cases (29%). (c) Of the 31 cases receiving chemoembolization therapy using a suspension of adriamycin (10-40 mg), mitomycin C (10-20 mg) and lipiodol, the tumor regression rate was 50% or more in four cases (13%). (d) From these results, it can be concluded that the antitumor effect of chemoembolization using cisplatin is more significant than with other drugs.

Abstract
The Bacillus polymyxa amylase gene comprises 3,588 nucleotides. The mature amylase comprises 1,161 amino acids with a molecular weight of 127,314. The gene appeared to be divided into two portions by the direct-repeat sequence located at almost the middle of the gene. The 5' region upstream of the direct-repeat sequence was shown to be responsible for the synthesis of beta-amylase. The 3' region downstream of the direct-repeat sequence contained four sequences homologous with those in other alpha-amylases, such as Taka-amylase A. The 48-kilodalton (kDa) amylase isolated from B. polymyxa was proven to have alpha-amylase activity. The amino acid sequences of the peptides generated from the 48-kDa amylase showed complete agreement with the predicted amino acid sequence of the C-terminal portion. The B. polymyxa amylase gene was therefore concluded to contain in-phase beta- and alpha-amylase-coding sequences in the 5' and 3' regions, respectively. A precursor protein, a 130-kDa amylase, directed by a plasmid, pYN520, carrying the entire amylase gene, had both beta- and alpha-amylase activities. This represents the first report of a single protein precursor in procaryotes that gives rise to two enzymes.
