Abstract
The effects of Fujibitol, a preparation of crude drugs in wide clinical use for treatment of chronic rhinitis and empyema, on experimental allergic rhinitis in rats were studied. Fujibitol inhibited nasal allergic symptoms, i.e. sneezing and nasal rubbing, induced by antigen in sensitized animals. An increase in dye leakage into the nasal cavity induced by antigen was also inhibited by Fujibitol. On the other hand, no inhibitory effects were observed on either the nasal allergic symptoms or increase in dye leakage into the nasal cavity induced by histamine. However, Fujibitol was effective in inhibiting histamine release from the nasal cavity induced by antigen. Oxatomide used as positive control drug showed potent inhibitory effects on nasal symptoms and dye leakage into the nasal cavity induced by histamine and antigen. These results suggested that Fujibitol showed a remarkable protective effect against experimental rhinitis induced by antigen via inhibition of histamine release from the nasal cavity.

Abstract
Monitoring of myogenic motor evoked potentials (MEPs) induced by transcranial electrical stimulation has become a promising tool for intraoperative monitoring. We described 2 patients who had developed significant decrease in MEP during the insertion of iliosacral screws for reconstruction of pelvic fractures. In both patients, MEPs were successfully obtained prior to the insertion under general anesthesia and partial neuromuscular blockade (propofol, ketamine, fentanyl, and nitrous oxide in oxygen: vecuronium), but reduced in association with the insertion. In one patient, they were restored by the re-insertion of screw and no new neurological deficits were observed postoperatively. However, in another patient, the decrease was not normalized and he suffered from paresis of the lower extremities after the surgery. We consider that intraoperative changes in MEPs could precisely predict postoperative motor function.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) were analyzed using transcranial electrical stimulation during spinal surgery in patients under ketamine-based anesthesia, with and without propofol. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of propofol on MEPs and ketamine-induced adverse effects during spinal surgery in patients under ketamine-based anesthesia. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Intraoperative monitoring of transcranial motor-evoked responses provides a method for monitoring the functional integrity of descending motor pathways. However, because these responses are sensitive to suppression by most anesthetic agents, anesthetic technique is limited during the monitoring of MEPs. Ketamine has been reported to have little effect on MEPs but may produce adverse effects such as psychedelic effect and hypertension. Recently, it has been reported that propofol may be able to inhibit ketamine-induced adverse effects. METHODS Intraoperative monitoring of MEPs was performed in 58 patients who underwent elective spinal surgery. Anesthesia was maintained with nitrous oxide-fentanyl-ketamine without or with low-dose (1-3 mg/kg/hr) of propofol (K group; n = 34, KP group; n = 24, respectively). Transcranial stimulation with single or paired pulses or a train of three or five pulses (interstimulus interval, 2 msec) were delivered to the scalp, and compound muscle action potentials were recorded from the left and right tibialis anterior muscles. To investigate the dose effects of propofol on MEPs, propofol was administered at an infusion rate of 6, 4, and 2 mg/kg/hr and then discontinued in 14 patients. RESULTS Results of MEPs were comparable between the K and KP groups. The incidence of postoperative psychedelic effect was significantly less in the KP group (14%) than in the K group (41%). Although propofol inhibited MEPs dose dependently, the use of a train of pulses for stimulation could overcome such inhibition. CONCLUSIONS If a train of pulses were used for transcranial stimulation, low-dose propofol can be effectivelyused as a supplement to ketamine-based anesthesia during intraoperative monitoring of myogenic MEPs. Addition of propofol significantly reduced the ketamine-induced psychedelic effects.

Abstract
We reviewed our experiences of intraoperative motor evoked potentials (MEPs) monitoring for 115 operations on the spine or spinal cord. We observed compound muscle action potentials from bilateral anterior tibial muscles by electrical transcranial stimulation of the motor cortex under general anesthesia induced and maintained with intravenous anesthetics (ketamine, propofol, or droperidol), fentanyl, and 50% nitrous oxide. Partial neuromuscular blockade was obtained with continuous infusion of vecuronium. MEPs were recorded bilaterally in 91 cases (79%) and laterally in 18 cases (16%). Postoperative deterioration of motor function was observed in 2 cases and amplitude of MEPs decreased more than 50% of control values in both cases. Intraoperative monitoring of MEPs might be a reliable indicator of spinal cord motor function.

Abstract
The effects of Fujibitol, a remedy for the nasal symptoms of immediate and delayed type allergic reactions were studied. Fujibitol inhibited active systemic anaphylaxis in mice, heterologous passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in rats, Masugi's nephritis in rats and delayed type hypersensitivity induced by picryl chloride in mice, but did not affect homologous PCA or immune complex-induced glomerulonephritis in rats. These results suggested that Fujibitol is effective for treatment of allergy-induced inflammation since IgG and type IV allergic reactions were inhibited.

Abstract
To overcome anesthetic-induced depression of myogenic motor-evoked potentials (MEPs), several techniques of stimulation using paired pulses or trains of pulses are used. This study investigated the effect of sevoflurane on myogenic MEPs induced by single and paired transcranial electrical stimulation of the motor cortex. Nine patients undergoing elective spinal surgery were anesthetized with fentanyl-N2O-ketamine. Partial neuromuscular blockade (single-twitch height 15% of baseline) was maintained with vecuronium. Single and paired (interstimulus interval 2 milliseconds) electrical stimuli were delivered to the scalp, and compound muscle action potentials were recorded from the left and right tibialis anterior muscles. In all patients, baseline MEPs were recorded from both the left and right anterior tibialis muscles (in a total of 18 legs). During the administration of 0.25 MAC and 0.5 MAC sevoflurane, MEPs induced by stimulation with a single pulse could be recorded in 12 of 18 and 4 of 18 legs, respectively, and MEP amplitude was significantly reduced to 48% and 4% of the control value, respectively. During the administration of 0.75 MAC sevoflurane, MEPs following single-pulse stimulation could not be recorded in any legs. The success rate of MEP recording during the administration of sevoflurane was greater after paired stimulation than after single stimulation, and percentage MEP amplitude (percentage of the control value after single stimulation but before sevoflurane) after paired stimulation was significantly higher than after single stimulation before and during the administration of 0.25 MAC and 0.5 MAC sevoflurane. The success rate of MEP recording and MEP amplitude after paired stimulation decreased in a dose-dependent manner during the administration of sevoflurane. These results suggest that although facilitation by the second stimulus was considerable, paired stimuli are still not sufficient to overcome the depressant effects of sevoflurane in clinically used concentrations.

Abstract
We observed that human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) alone prolonged the survival time of mice bearing various murine syngeneic tumors as well as athymic nude mice bearing human xenografts. No changes in the subcutaneous solid tumor mass volume were observed. Prolongation of survival time by hEGF was observed in mice bearing murine epidermoid carcinoma (BSC) and human gastric carcinoma (KATO III), but not in murine epidermoid carcinoma (KLN205) or human epidermoid carcinoma (A431). Human tumor cells such as A431, KATO III, and murine tumor cells, KLN205, BSC had roughly 2 X 10(6), 3 X 10(4), 1.3 X 10(3) and 1 X 10(3) EGF receptors/cell, respectively. Although KLN205 and BSC tumor cells maintained nearly the same number of EGF receptors, the effects of hEGF were very different. Although A431 tumor cells had nearly 100 times more receptors than KATO III cells, the prolongation of survival time of mice bearing A431 by hEGF was no better than that of mice bearing KATO III. Accordingly, it appears that this prolongation of survival time by hEGF is independent of the number of EGF receptors on tumor cells. In addition, hEGF was shown to inhibit experimental pulmonary metastasis of murine BSC tumor, but was ineffective with murine KLN205 tumor. These results suggest that prolongation of survival time by hEGF may result from the inhibition of tumor cell metastasis and EGF may play a role in preventing the metastasis of certain malignant neoplasms unrelated to its effects through the EGF receptor on tumor cells.

Abstract
Severe toxic side effects of antiproliferative agents limit their clinical usefulness as antitumor drugs. Recently we observed that the antitumor efficacy of various antitumor agents (5-fluorouracil, tegafur, adriamycin, mitomycin C, cyclophosphamide, and cisplatin) against experimental solid tumors was enhanced by prior or simultaneous administration of human epidermal growth factor (EGF). However, coadministration of EGF did not enhance the toxicity of antitumor agents as measured by LD50 and body weight loss. The above selective potentiation of efficacy of the antitumor agents by human EGF can be characterized as follows. In a dose-dependent manner, human EGF enhanced the efficacy of an antitumor agent (5-FU) treatment against human epidermoid carcinoma A431 transplanted sc in athymic nude mice [ED50 = 2.9 (0.2-49.7, 95% confidence interval) microgram/kg, sc]. Various degrees of enhancement were also observed against other experimental tumors transplanted sc. The degrees of enhancement were directly proportional to the numbers of human EGF binding sites present on tumor cell plasma membrane (threshold of binding site density = 1.5 X 10(3) sites/cell) using 5-FU or cisplatin as an antitumor agent, thus suggesting that the binding of EGF to the receptors on tumor cells is an essential process in enhancing the susceptibility of tumor cells to antitumor agents. Normal cells including intestinal epithelial and bone marrow cells are endowed with fewer EGF binding sites (less than 10(3) sites/cell). This may explain partially the absence of EGF-enhanced cytotoxicity by antitumor agents toward normal cells.

Abstract
The effect of histamine on delayed-type hypersensitivity provoked in the abdominal cavity of mice was studied. When histamine (0.1-10 mg/kg) was injected twice a day for 2 consecutive days after antigen challenge, cell accumulation in the inflamed site and the production of lymphokine was significantly suppressed. Similar suppressive effects were observed after injection with an H2-agonist, dimaprit, but not in the case of an H1-agonist, 2-methylhistamine. The effect of histamine on cell accumulation in an implanted sponge was blocked by the H2-antagonists, cimetidine and ranitidine, but only slightly by the H1-antagonists, pyrilamine and diphenhydramine. In adrenalectomized mice, the suppressive effect of histamine was slightly weaker than in normal mice, but the inhibitory effect of histamine was almost completely blocked by H2-antagonists in both cases. The suppressive effect of histamine on the production of lymphokine (macrophage chemotactic factor) was also blocked by cimetidine. Using gel chromatography, the chemotactic activity fraction was eluted as molecules having a molecular weight of 30,000-70,000. These results suggest that the histamine-induced suppression of the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in mice is affected mainly by the production of lymphokine(s) via an H2-receptor-bearing lymphocyte.

Abstract
When Prozime-10 (P-10), a protease extracted from cultured both of Aspergillus melleus, was injected intravenously into anesthetized dogs, plasma ACTH was increased with a latency of 30 min, and this was followed by remarkable elevation of plasma cortisol in many instances. A similar increase in plasma cortisol was elicited after trypsin and alpha-chymotrypsin were injected. Plasma histamine was raised promptly prior to an increase in plasma ACTH after P-10 in every case. However, in certain cases, changes in cortisol occurred simultaneously with ACTH after P-10. Such a rapid elevation of cortisol can be explained, partly, by direct stimulation of the adrenal cortex by histamine.

Abstract
Prozime-10 (P-10), a proteolytic enzyme extracted from cultured broth of Aspergillus melleus, was injected intravenously into rats in dosages of 1--10 mg/kg and was found to alleviate carrageenin edema. Thermal denaturation diminished not only the proteolytic activity but also the antiedematous effect. Carrageenin-induced granuloma pouches in rats were reduced by P-10 in a dose-dependent manner (1--5 mg/kg). With P=10 (5 mg/kg i.v.), adjuvant arthritis was inhibited by 62% in the primary phase and by 57% in the secondary phase. Serum concentration of immunoprecipitable P-10 reached 100 mg/l within 30 min after the intraduodenal administration of P-10 (200 mg/kg) and was concomitant with a 3-fold increase in the blood esterolytic activity. When P-10 was injected (5 mg/kg i.v.) into rats, the plasma corticosterone level increased to a maximum of 4 times the preinjection level. These observations indicate that: (a) P-10 can be absorbed from the gut in sufficient quantities to bring about anti-inflammatory activity, and (b) the anti-inflammatory activity of P-10 can be related, in part, to the ability of P-10 to affect the release of glucocorticoids.

Abstract
The distribution of ceftezole in blood and tissues and its excretion after intramuscular or intravenous administration of single doses of 10 and 20 mg/kg were compared with those of cefazolin, cephaloridine and cephalothin. Blood levels of ceftezole in rats and rabbits were lower than those of cefazolin, and higher than those of cephaloridine and cephalothin. Retention time of ceftezole in the blood was somewhat shorter than that of cefazolin. However, blood levels of ceftezole in dogs were nearly the same as those of cefazolin and cephaloridine. The rate of urinary excretion of ceftezole in 24-hour urine after administration in rats and rabbits was found to be higher than those of the other antibiotics tested. In dogs, however, the rate of urinary excretion of ceftezole was nearly the same as that of cefazolin and higher than those of cephaloridine and cephalothin. The biliary excretion of ceftezole in rats and dogs was much higher than those of cephaloridine and cephalothin, but lower than that of cefazolin. Tissue distribution of ceftezole in rats was compared with that of the other antibiotics by intramuscular and intravenous administration. The initial level of ceftezole in the kidneys was found to be substantially higher than those of the other antibiotics. The initial level of ceftezole in the liver and lungs was also slightly higher than those of the other drugs when administered intramuscularly. Tissue levels of ceftezole were somewhat lower than those of cefazolin in rabbits after intravenous administration. Ceftezole attained a higher maximum level in rat lymph by intramuscular administration than the other antibiotics tested. The maximum concentration of ceftezole present in the exudate in the rat inflammatory pouch was higher than that of cefazolin. In rabbits with cerebrospinal meningitis induced by infection of Streptococcus pyogenes, the level of ceftezole in the cerebrospinal fluid was several times higher than that in normal rabbits. The serum level and urinary excretion of ceftezole was examined in 6 healthy male volunteers after intramuscular administration of a single dose of 500 mg. Ceftezole attained a mean maximum serum level of 22.9 mug/ml 30 minutes after administration and disappeared from the blood in about 6 hours. It was excreted rapidly in the urine. The concentration in 1-hour urine was the highest (mean level: 2,667 mug/ml) and the total excretion rate was 92.6%. No metabolites with antimicrobial activity were observed in the urine. No changes in the pattern of plasma level and urinary excretion and no accumulation in the tissues were observed after repeated intramuscular administration of 20 mg/kg of ceftezole in rabbits, 26 times, for 14 days.
