Abstract
Recent studies have revealed mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor beta (TR beta) gene as a cause of the most cases of the thyroid hormone resistance syndrome. We have identified a novel nonsense mutation in codon 449 in the 3' end of exon 10 in the TR beta gene in a 16-year-old male patient with generalized resistance to thyroid hormone who also had familial thyroxine binding globulin deficiency. Receptor protein generated from this gene is thought to be 13 amino acid deficient at carboxy-terminus. Resistance to thyroid hormone was mild at least when the patient was evaluated. The patient was eumetabolic in the presence of elevated plasma-free thyroid hormone levels, and both thyrotrope and peripheral tissues responded to triiodothyronine (T3) administration. This mildness of resistance is in contrast to severe resistance to thyroid hormone in two previously reported cases with truncated receptors in which 16 amino acids or 11 amino acids were deficient at C-terminus. Thus, truncation of C-terminus of thyroid hormone receptor beta does not uniformly produce sever resistance.

Abstract
The scaling exponent of 1.6 between anomalous Hall and longitudinal conductivity, characteristic of the universal Hall mechanism in dirty-metal ferromagnets, emerges from a series of CrO2 films as we systematically increase structural disorder. Magnetic disorder in CrO2 increases with temperature and this drives a separate topological Hall mechanism. We find that these terms are controlled discretely by structural and magnetic defect populations, and their coexistence leads to apparent divergence from exponent 1.6, suggesting that the universal term is more prevalent than previously realized.

Abstract
AIMS It has been reported that glutathione S-transferase P1 (GSTP1) expression is implicated in resistance to taxanes (docetaxel and paclitaxel) in human breast cancer cells in vitro. In the study presented here, we examine whether GSTP1 expression is associated with resistance to docetaxel or paclitaxel in human breast cancers. We also investigated the relationship between GSTP1 methylation status and response to these taxanes. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty two primary breast cancer patients were treated with docetaxel or paclitaxel as primary systemic treatment (PST). GSTP1 expression was detected immunohistochemically and the hypermethylation status GSTP1 gene was identified with a methylation specific primer assay. RESULTS The mean tumor reduction rate for all patients (n=62) was significantly (p<0.001) higher in GSTP1 negative (0.73+/-0.04; mean+/-standard error) than GSTP1 positive (0.31+/-0.09) tumors. The subset analysis showed that the mean reduction rate was significantly (p=0.005) higher in GSTP1 negative (0.59+/-0.06) than GSTP1 positive (0.11+/-0.13) tumors in the docetaxel group as well as in the paclitaxel group (p=0.006; GSTP1 negative tumors: 0.84+/-0.05; GSTP1 positive tumors: 0.56+/-0.08). On the other hand, GSTP1 methylation showed no significant association with the reduction rate. CONCLUSION Our present study has suggested that GSTP1 protein expression, but not GSTP1 methylation status, might be associated with response to docetaxel and paclitaxel. This suggests that GSTP1 immunohistochemical expression might be a potentially clinically useful predictive factor for response to docetaxel and paclitaxel.

Abstract
A new method of utilizing a commercial silicon nitride membrane calorimeter to measure the latent heat at a first order phase transition is presented. The method is a direct measurement of the thermoelectric voltage jump induced by the latent heat, in a thermally isolated system ideally suited for single crystal and small microgram samples. We show that when combined with the ac calorimetry technique previously developed, the resultant thermal measurement capabilities are extremely powerful. We demonstrate the applicability of the combined method with measurements on a 100 microm size fragment of CoMnSi exhibiting a sizable magnetocaloric effect near room temperature, and obtain good agreement with previously reported values on bulk samples.

Abstract
Mandibuloacral dysplasia (MAD) is a rare autosomal recessive progeroid syndrome, characterized by mandibular hypoplasia, acroosteolysis affecting distal phalanges and clavicles, delayed closure of the cranial sutures, atrophic skin, and lipodystrophy. Recently, mutations in lamin A/C (LMNA) and zinc metalloprotease (ZMPSTE24), involved in post-translational processing of prelamin A to mature lamin A, have been identified in MAD kindreds. We now report novel compound heterozygous mutations in exon 1 (c.121C>T; p.Q41X) and exon 6 (c.743C>T; p.P248L) in ZMPSTE24 in two Japanese sisters, 7- and 3-year old, with severe MAD and characteristic facies and atrophic skin. The older sister had lipodystrophy affecting the chest and thighs but sparing abdomen. Their parents and a brother, who were healthy, had heterozygous mutations. The missense mutation, P248L, was not found in 100 normal subjects of Japanese origin. The mutant Q41X was inactive in a yeast halo assay; however, the mutant P248L retained near normal ZMPSTE24 activity. Immunoblots demonstrated accumulation of prelamin A in the patients' cell lysates from lymphoblasts. The lymphoblasts from the patients also revealed less intense staining for lamin A/C on immunofluorescence. We conclude that ZMPSTE24 deficiency results in accumulation of farnesylated prelamin A, which may be responsible for cellular toxicity and the MAD phenotype.

Abstract
Adult neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) are important autologous transplantation tools in regenerative medicine, as they can secrete factors that protect the ischemic brain. We investigated whether adult NSPCs genetically modified to secrete more glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) could protect against transient ischemia in rats. NSPCs were harvested from the subventricular zone of adult Wistar rats and cultured for 3 weeks in the presence of epidermal growth factor. The NSPCs were treated with fibre-mutant Arg-Gly-Asp adenovirus containing the GDNF gene (NSPC-GDNF) or enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) gene (NSPC-EGFP; control group). In one experiment, cultured cells were transplanted into the right ischemic boundary zone of Wistar rat brains. One week later, animals underwent 90 min of intraluminal right middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by magnetic resonance imaging and behavioural tests. The NSPC-GDNF group had higher behavioural scores and lesser infarct volume than did controls at 1, 7 and 28 days postocclusion. In the second experiment, we transplanted NSPCs 3 h after ischemic insult. Compared to controls, rats receiving NSPC-GDNF had decreased infarct volume and better behavioural assessments at 7 days post-transplant. Animals were killed on day 7 and brains were collected for GDNF ELISA and morphological assessment. Compared to controls, more GDNF was secreted, more NSPC-GDNF cells migrated toward the ischemic core and more NSPC-GDNF cells expressed immature neuronal marker. Moreover, the NSPC-GDNF group showed more effective inhibition of microglial invasion and apoptosis. These findings suggest that NSPC-GDNF may be useful in treatment of cerebral ischemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE To establish an in vivo experimental model for examining human periodontal tissue, the present study examined several transplant techniques that maintain the structure and characteristics of human gingival mucosa. MATERIAL AND METHODS Human oral mucosal tissue samples were collected from the gingiva (n = 11), palate (n = 1), and tongue (n = 3). These mucosal grafts were transplanted onto BALB/c nu/scid mice with double-mutant immunodeficiency. Murine skin, twice the size of the graft, was cut open in an ' square superset'-shape. Next, the connective tissue side of the graft was placed onto the murine connective tissue. Immunohistochemical analysis was also performed, using polyclonal rabbit antibody to involucrin, monoclonal antibody to vimentin, monoclonal antibody to CD34, and monoclonal antibody to Ki-67, to determine whether the characteristics of human oral mucosa were maintained. RESULTS When the connective tissue side of the graft was placed on the murine fascial membrane, the histological structure of the graft was maintained for 60 d. These grafts were examined for human characteristics using human-specific antibodies. Immunohistochemically, the expression patterns of involucrin, vimentin, and Ki-67 indicated that transplanted mucosa revealed normal human characteristics, including differentiation and proliferation up to 80 d. CD34 was not detected in the graft endothelial cells. CONCLUSION The present study revealed that the novel technique of transplantation of human gingival mucosa in nu/scid mice may serve as an in vivo experimental model of periodontal disease.
