Abstract
TdP is a serious complication of AV block. We report a case of complete AV block with QT prolongation who had bouts of TdP resistant to lidocaine and isoproterenol. Temporary pacing could not be performed, because insertion of a pacing lead triggered TdP that deteriorated into ventricular fibrillation. Nicorandil, a potassium channel opener, shortened the QT interval and abolished TdP. This may suggest that potassium channel opening drugs are clinically effective against TdP associated with bradycardia-dependent QT prolongation.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRCP) with endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) in the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases. METHODS The authors retrospectively reviewed MRCP and ERCP images obtained in 56 patients with pancreatic diseases and 192 controls. Detectability of the pancreatic duct and its branches and diagnostic usefullness were evaluated. RESULTS MRCP was successful in almost all the patients without ascitic fluid or ileus. Findings of the main pancreatic ducts (i.e., dilation, stenosis and obstruction) were similarly demonstrated by ERCP and MRCP. The degree of ductal narrowing tends to be overestimated with MRCP. CONCLUSION MRCP appears to be less invasive than ERCP. MRCP could provide sufficient information and play a complementary role in the diagnosis of pancreatic diseases.

Abstract
A 57-year-old woman presented to our clinic with low-grade gastric lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (stage IE) and Helicobacter pylori infection. She received a 2-week course of omeprazole and clarithromycin, resulting in eradication of H. pylori and histological disappearance of the lymphoma. However, 9 months later (May 1996), multiple mass lesions were found around the pancreas and hepato-duodenal ligament on abdominal computed tomography. Inguinal lymph node biopsy revealed aggressive nodal type B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, diffuse large cell type. She received chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine, and prednisolone, but failed to achieve remission and died in December 1996. There was no evidence of recurrent gastric lymphoma. This case emphasizes the importance of performing follow-up examinations to detect other neoplasms in patients with gastric lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue.

Abstract
Flecainide and pilsicainide, Class IC antiarrhythmic drugs with slow kinetics, were administered to a 64-year-old man experiencing ventricular tachycardia. Both drugs suppressed the arrhythmia, but caused ST segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF. No evidence of ischemic heart disease was detected. Withdrawal of the drugs eliminated the ST change. Because these drugs frequently are used to treat tachyarrhythmias in patients who may present with chest pain, this rare ECG manifestation of Class IC drugs should be recognized to avoid misdiagnosis of acute inferior myocardial infarction.

Abstract
A 49-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of chest pain. The pain occurred simultaneously with tachycardia-dependent left bundle branch block (LBBB) during exercise-stress and atropine-stress electrocardiogram (ECG) and on 24-h ambulatory ECG monitoring. Myocardial perfusion and metabolic scintigraphy with Tl-201 and I-123 BMIPP, respectively, showed no evidence of ischemia. Coronary arteriography revealed no atherosclerotic lesions, but did show a fistula between three major coronary arteries and the main pulmonary artery. The left-to-right shunt was undetectably small. Administration of diltiazem and metoprolol suppressed LBBB by attenuating the heart rate response to exercise, and reduced the chest pain. Therefore we presume that the exertional chest pain was not caused by myocardial ischemia but by the tachycardia-dependent LBBB. Coronary artery-pulmonary artery fistula is the most common type of coronary artery fistulae found incidentally in adulthood. Involvement of three major coronary branches is, however, rare. The case is discussed with a review of the literature.

Abstract
Twenty-eight mild hypercholesterolemic male and female adults were orally administered psyllium seed for 3 months. After psyllium treatment, the serum total cholesterol, low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol and atherogenic index significantly decreased, but levels of high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglyceride and urea nitrogen did not. To determine the parameters associated with the cholesterol-lowering effect in the subjects' backgrounds, both biochemical and hematological parameters, we statistically examined the correlation between pretreatment parameters and the absolute change of total cholesterol level. The absolute change of total cholesterol level showed a direct correlation with the triglyceride level at pretreatment (r=0.41, P=0.03) and had an inverse correlation with urea nitrogen level (r=-0.46, P=0.01) but not with the total cholesterol level (r=-0.18). The change in urea nitrogen level had an inverse correlation with the urea nitrogen level itself at pretreatment (r=-0.82, P=7 x 10[-8]) and had a direct correlation with the triglyceride level (r=0.43, P=0.02). The change in triglyceride level had an inverse correlation with the urea nitrogen level (r=-0.48, P=0.008). Furthermore, the change in total cholesterol level had direct correlations with changes in the triglyceride level (r=0.56, P=0.002) and the urea nitrogen level (r=0.51, P=0.006), but these changes in triglyceride and urea nitrogen level did not correlate significantly. These findings suggest the close association of urea nitrogen and lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemia and psyllium seed treatment.

Abstract
We studied the effects of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) on rat cultured mesangial cell proliferation. (1) Exposure to CNP (10 nM-1 microM for 72 h) inhibited [3H]thymidine incorporation into mesangial cells in a concentration-dependent manner. Atrial natriuretic peptide (1 nM-1 microM), a peptide related to CNP, also decreased [3H]thymidine incorporation into these cells in a concentration-dependent manner. (2) Both CNP (10 nM- microM) and atrial natriuretic peptide (10 nM-1 microM) also decreased mesangial cell number. (3) The cyclic GMP analog, 8-bromo-cyclic GMP (100 microM and 1 microM), mimicked the inhibitory effects of CNP and atrial natriuretic peptide on [3H]thymidine incorporation into mesangial cells, whereas inhibitors of protein kinase C, protein kinase A, and protein kinase G reduced the effect of both natriuretic peptides. Moreover, the phosphatase inhibitor, calyculin A, increased [3H]thymidine incorporation into mesangial cells. (4) CNP and atrial natriuretic peptide decreased interleukin-1-, interleukin-6-, platelet derived growth factor-, angiotensin II-induced [3H]thymidine incorporation into mesangial cells. These results suggest that CNP exerts inhibitory effects on mesangial cell proliferation and that this effects depend on protein phosphorylation pathways.

Abstract
To investigate the nature of extraocular pseudoexfoliative (PSX) material, and to validate the hypothesis that the PSX syndrome is a systemic disorder, we studied the immunoreactivity of intraocular and extraocular PSX material from patients with the PSX syndrome using antibodies against proteins of extracellular matrices. Surgical specimens of four different tissues were obtained from human eyes with the PSX syndrome: nine trabecular tissues, three cataractous lenses, six bulbar conjunctivas, and seven lid skins. These tissues were processed for electron microscopic immunohistochemistry, and stained with antibodies against vitronectin, fibronectin, laminin, and elastin, by an indirect immunogold procedure. Density of the gold particles located on the PSX material was estimated by video image analysis. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that the PSX material from trabecular tissues, lenses, bulbar conjunctivas, and lid skins had almost identical immunoreactivity to the antibodies studied. PSX materials of trabecular tissues, lenses, bulbar conjunctivas, and lid skins were found to have not only a similar ultrastructure, but also almost identical immunohistochemical characteristics. These results support the hypothesis that the PSX syndrome is a systemic disorder.

Abstract
We have experienced a case of myeloperoxidase-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA)-related glomerulonephritis induced by propylthiouracil (PTU). A 45-year-old female had been treated with PTU for 4 years after the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. She was referred to out hospital because of abrupt macroscopic hematuria and moderate proteinuria after several days of upper respiratory tract infection. On admission, her laboratory findings showed deterioration of renal function. Renal biopsy revealed crescentic glomerulonephritis without deposition of immune complexes. Her serology was found to be MPO-ANCA-positive and cytoplasmic-ANCA-negative. Based of these findings, we diagnosed idiopathic crescentic glomerulonephritis. Following the initiation of steroid pulse therapy, her urinary protein excretion and renal function gradually improved in parallel with a decrease in the MPO-ANCA titer. Although steroid therapy effectively responded to their renal function without the withdrawal of PTU, it seems that PTU may be closely associated with the development of (MPO-ANCA)-related glomerulonephritis in this case. Therefore, hyperthyroidism patients treated with PTU should be paced under vigilant observation by monitoring their urinalysis and serum creatinine level.

Abstract
PURPOSE We examined the clinicopathologic features of a male infant with the CHARGE association and bilateral congenital glaucoma. METHODS Trabeculectomy specimens were obtained from the anterior chamber angle and examined by light and electron microscopy. RESULTS Histopathologic examination of the trabeculectomy specimens showed immature development of the trabecular meshwork that was covered by the ciliary muscles. There were few intertrabecular spaces because the meshwork was almost completely filled with cells and extracellular substances. Deposition of a granular and/or homogeneous substance was observed in the subendothelial area of Schlemm's canal. CONCLUSIONS Our patient exhibited features typical of the CHARGE association, but also had congenital glaucoma. We hypothesize that these clinical findings are all mediated by a neurocristopathic mechanism. Our findings suggest that the CHARGE association may predispose to anterior chamber angle maldevelopment, which can lead to congenital glaucoma.

Abstract
In this study we investigated the clinicoanatomic basis of the scapular flap by morphometric examinations of 42 cadavers. Our findings were as follows: With common-trunk type scapular vessels, the maximal lengths of arteries and veins that could be used for a flap pedicle were 93 and 91 mm. With direct-type scapular vessels, the maximal lengths were 95 and 71 mm. In common-trunk type vessels, the mean internal diameter 2 mm distal from the confluence of the scapular vessel was 2.8 mm for arteries and 3.3 mm for veins. In the direct-type vessels, the mean internal diameter 2 mm distal from the confluence of the circumflex scapular vessel was 1.8 mm for arteries and 3.3 mm for veins. The maximal superoinferior dimension of the scapular graft was 28 mm. The maximal lateral dimension of the scapular graft was 12 mm.

Abstract
Three NIH3T3 transformants, MTAg, MTPy, and MT1, which grow similarly in soft agar media, showed remarkable differences in athymic mice: MTAg grew more rapidly than MTPy, whereas MT1 and NIH3T3 did not, and only MTAg metastasized in lung. Structural analysis of N-glycans from plasma membrane glycoproteins revealed that each sample contains similar amounts of N-glycans, but the relative amounts of 2,6-branched tri- and tetra-antennary oligosaccharides prominently increase and the relative amounts of biantennary oligosaccharides prominently decrease in the order of NIH3T3, MT1, MTPy, and MTAg, whereas those of others remained constant. Western blot analysis revealed that binding of Datura stramonium agglutinin, which interacts with 2,6-branched tri- and tetra-antennary oligosaccharides, is significantly increased in several bands from MTAg compared with NIH3T3, two of which are tentatively identified as lysosome-associated membrane protein-1 and fibronectin (FN)-receptor. It was also shown that the spreading of MTAg on FN-coated plates is dramatically inhibited with the anti-FN-receptor antiserum when compared with NIH3T3. These results indicate that the increased expression of highly branched N-glycans at cell surface is correlated with the rapidness of tumor formation and altered adhesive properties of tumor cells in vivo.

Abstract
We studied the effects of ketamine and propofol on rat cultured mesangial cell (MC) proliferation. The 72-h exposure to ketamine (1-100 microM) inhibited [3H]thymidine incorporation into the MC in a concentration-dependent manner. Propofol, however, was not effective at inhibition of MC proliferation at doses from 1 to 100 microM. Ketamine also decreased the cell number at clinically relevant concentrations and increased adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) levels in MC. We also studied the effects of ketamine on cytokine-induced [3H]thymidine incorporation into the cells. Ketamine decreased the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-, interleukin 1 (IL-1)-, and interleukin 6 (IL-6)-induced [3H]thymidine incorporation into the cells. It also decreased angiotensin II (Ag II)-induced [3H]thymidine incorporation. These results suggest that ketamine has inhibitory effects on MC proliferation, but that propofol does not. Because ketamine inhibits TNF-alpha-, IL-1-, and IL-6-induced MC proliferation, it may be useful in suppressing the cell growth clinically.

Abstract
Cyclin D-Cdk4/6 and cyclin A/E-Cdk2 are suggested to be involved in phosphorylation of the retinoblastoma protein (pRB) during the G1/S transition of the cell cycle. However, it is unclear why several Cdks are needed and how they are different from one another. We found that the consensus amino acid sequence for phosphorylation by cyclin D1-Cdk4 is different from S/T-P-X-K/R, which is the consensus sequence for phosphorylation by cyclin A/E-Cdk2 using various synthetic peptides as substrates. Cyclin D1-Cdk4 efficiently phosphorylated the G1 peptide, RPPTLS780PIPHIPR that contained a part of the sequence of pRB, while cyclins E-Cdk2 and A-Cdk2 did not. To determine the phosphorylation state of pRB in vitro and in vivo, we raised the specific antibody against phospho-Ser780 in pRB. We confirmed that cyclin D1-Cdk4, but not cyclin E-Cdk2, phosphorylated Ser780 in recombinant pRB. The Ser780 in pRB was phosphorylated in the G1 phase in a cell cycle-dependent manner. Furthermore, we found that pRB phosphorylated at Ser780 cannot bind to E2F-1 in vivo. Our data show that cyclin D1-Cdk4 and cyclin A/E Cdk2 phosphorylate different sites of pRB in vivo.
