Abstract
We obtained an 844 bp Bg1II fragment from an Rb cDNA clone and inserted it into the expression vector pWR-13 to construct an Rb gene expression plasmid. When the Rb Bg1II fragment was fused in-frame into pWR-13, it was operated by a Lac Z promoter and produced a fusion protein which consisted of expressed Rb protein and a small peptide from Lac Z. The recombinants were transformed into E. coli with the CaCl2 method, screened by in situ hybridization, and restriction mapped. Total cellular protein of transformed clones was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Commassie blue staining. The sense clones showed a unique band at 28,000. On Western blot, this band specifically reacted with 125I-labelled antibody against synthetic Rb peptide. This protein comprised more than 5% of total bacterial protein.

Abstract
Introducing genes into adult neurons in vivo may be a useful experimental tool for studying and modifying neuronal function. In this study two herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) mutants were used to examine the capability of different types of neostriatal neurons to express a foreign gene introduced through viral infection. In these HSV-1 mutants (7134 and RH105) the Escherichia coli gene, lacZ, under the control of viral promoters active during the early phase of infection, was substituted for viral genes (ICPO and TK, respectively) needed for efficient replication in the nervous system. Adult male rats received unilateral injections of HSV-1 mutant 7134 or RH105 into the neostriatum. Animals survived for 1 to 70 days with no apparent adverse physiological or behavioral effects. At the injection site, both mutant viruses produced focal tissue necrosis and reactive gliosis. Histochemical detection of the lacZ gene product, beta-galactosidase (beta Gal), revealed extensive labeling of neurons with mutant 7134 and relatively limited neuronal labeling with the mutant RH105. Mutant 7134, which is capable of some replication in cells, conferred beta Gal expression in cells over an area that was twofold greater than the necrotic area. In contrast, mutant RH105, which cannot replicate in cells, produced a zone of beta Gal-labeled cells only two-thirds the area of the necrotic core. Both medium- and large-sized neostriatal neurons were positive for beta Gal, and a higher proportion of large cells were labeled as compared to other neuronal populations in the normal striatum. A few glial cells were also beta Gal-positive. Retrograde transport of virus to the substantia nigra pars compacta and to the cortex was minimal and occurred only with mutant 7134. No evidence was seen for anterograde transport. Immunohistochemical localization of beta Gal at the ultrastructural level after inoculation with mutant 7134 revealed that both types of medium-sized neurons (spiny and aspiny types), as well as large neurons, were infected 3 days following inoculation. Immunoreactive neurons ranged from severely pathologic to remarkably healthy. Some of the axon terminals that contacted beta Gal-immunoreactive dendrites and spines were degenerated. These results demonstrate that in the adult rat replication-deficient HSV-1 vectors injected intrastriatally can be used to express a foreign gene in at least three types of neostriatal neurons, while maintaining the long-term survival and general health of the injected animals. The neurotoxicity induced by HSV-1 mutants may still be considerable, however, and ways of minimizing neuropathological effects need to be addressed.

Abstract
The stoichiometric complex formed between porcine beta-trypsin and the Momordica charantia, Linn. Cucurbitaceae trypsin inhibitor-A (MCTI-A) was crystallized and its X-ray crystal structure determined using molecular replacement method. The primary sequence and topology of the inhibitor was determined by recognizing the electron density and refined to a final R value of 0.167 (7.0-1.6 A) with RMS deviation of bond lengths from standard values 0.012 A. The sequence was compared with those obtained by other groups and was found to be similar to the squash proteinase inhibitor. Its spatial structure and the conformation of its primary binding segment from Cys-3I (P3) to Glu-7I (P3') which contains the reactive scissile bond Arg-5I C-Ile-6I N were also very similar with other squash family proteinase inhibitors.

Abstract
Human malignant glioma grown in athymic nude mice (NHG-1) and three freshly resected human solid gliomas were used in the study of factors influencing the direct preparation (DP) for chromosome analysis of human solid tumors. The results showed that: 1) the length of time after the blood supply was obstructed was a major factor in reducing the success rate of DP, i.e., a 2-hour delay resulted in a significantly lowered metaphase number and after 4 hours almost no metaphases could be seen; 2) preserving tumor cells at 4 degrees C may prolong the time limit to about 4 hours; 3) culture medium (RPMI 1640 and Eagle MEM) and bovine calf serum concentration (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%) did not influence the success rate significantly; 4) colchicine concentration (0.025 micrograms/mL, 0.05 micrograms/mL, 0.1 micrograms/mL) and time of treatment (30 min, 90 min, or 180 min) mainly affected the quality of chromosomes observed but had little effect on the quantity of metaphases that might be obtained. Based on these results, we had a success rate of more than 80% in 72 xenografts and 22 human brain tumors.

Abstract
The biotin derivative, N-(2-aminoethyl) biotinamide hydrochloride, or Neurobiotin, has been shown recently to be a useful marker for intracellular and anterograde tracing. The properties of Neurobiotin as a tracer were further examined in this study by making pressure injections into different regions of the cerebral cortex or the rostral neostriatum of rats or by incubating striatal cells in culture with the tracer. Results showed extensive anterograde transport of Neurobiotin in cortical axons and terminals within the neostriatum 2-70 h after single or multiple cortical injections of the tracer. Similarly, profuse axonal projections to the medial portion of the globus pallidus were seen after an injection of Neurobiotin into the rostral neostriatum. Transneuronal labeling of medium-size neostriatal neurons was observed following injections of Neurobiotin into the prefrontal cortex. At the ultrastructural level, anterogradely labeled cortical axon terminals and transneuronally labeled neurons were readily identified in the caudate-putamen by the presence of both fine particulate and large punctate reaction products. Retrograde fillings of neurons resembling a Golgi-impregnation were seen in the ventral posterior complex of the thalamus after injections in the sensorimotor cortex. Neurons in the medial globus pallidus were also retrogradely labeled following tracer injections in the rostral caudate-putamen. Finally, Neurobiotin was readily and selectively taken up by striatal neurons in culture, where it extensively labeled somata and neurites. These results show that Neurobiotin is a versatile new tracer, which can be potentially useful for the study of neuronal organization in vivo and in vitro.

Abstract
1. The purpose of our investigation was to evaluate the hypothesis that components of the vestibular and cerebellar systems regulate efferent respiratory-modulated activities of cranial and spinal nerves. The hypothesis was based upon the observation that spinal neural activities during expiration are greatly altered subsequent to a change in posture. 2. In decerebrate and paralysed cats, efferent activities were recorded from the central cut ends of the phrenic nerve, intercostal nerve, branch of the intercostal nerve innervating the triangularis sterni, cranial iliohypogastric (abdominal) nerve and recurrent laryngeal nerve. 3. Animals were artificially ventilated. Those with intact vagi were ventilated by a servo-respirator which produced changes in lung volume in parallel with alterations in integrated activity of the phrenic nerve. Animals with bilateral vagotomy were ventilated with a standard respirator. 4. Aspiration of the entire cerebellar cortex did not produce alterations in levels of neural activities; the respiratory frequency was increased modestly. Following ablation of the ventrolateral portion of corpus medullare and cerebellar peduncles, expiratory activities of spinal nerves were completely eliminated whereas inspiratory activities were not greatly altered. Results were similar in animals having either intact or sectioned vagi. 5. Electrical stimulation or chemical stimulation by glutamate of regions of the ventrolateral cerebellum produced little change in respiratory neural activities except when these stimulations were within the infracerebellar nucleus. Stimulations in this nucleus caused pronounced increases in expiratory activities of spinal nerves. Neither inspiratory activities of spinal nerves nor inspiratory or expiratory activities of the recurrent laryngeal nerve were altered. Studies in animals having intact or sectioned vagi yielded similar results. 6. Bilateral lesions of neurons in the infracerebellar nucleus by injections of kainic acid in animals having intact or sectioned vagi caused an irreversible loss of expiratory activities of spinal nerves with neither inspiratory spinal activities nor inspiratory and expiratory laryngeal activities being altered. Similar findings were obtained following unilateral ablation of the infracerebellar nucleus in vagotomized cats. However, in cats with intact vagi, unilateral ablation of the infracerebellar nucleus produced only transient changes in either inspiratory or expiratory neural activities.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract
Inhibitory monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were used to determine the contribution of epitope-specific cytochrome P-450 isozymes in rat liver microsomes to hydroxylation of the esophageal carcinogen methyl-n-amylnitrosamine. These P-450-catalyzed reactions form 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-hydroxymethyl-n-amylnitrosamine, formaldehyde (demethylation), and pentaldehyde (depentylation). With uninduced microsomes from male rats, MAb 1-68-11 inhibited 4-hydroxylation by 73% and demethylation by 46%. This indicated the major contribution of constitutive male-specific P-450 IIC11 to the metabolism. Inhibition studies with MAbs 2-66-3 and 1-91-3 indicated that P-450 IIB1 contributed 19% and IIE1 35% to demethylation. With uninduced microsomes from females, MAb 1-68-11 produced similar inhibitions to those in male rats, indicating that female-specific P-450 IIC12 (which is closely related to IIC11) also catalyzed 4-hydroxylation and demethylation. With microsomes from 3-methylcholanthrene-induced male rats, P-450 IA1 and/or IA2 were responsible for 60% of 3-hydroxylation and 40% of depentylation. With microsomes from phenobarbital-treated rats, P-450 IIB1 and IIB2 catalyzed all 6 reactions but especially 4-hydroxylation and depentylation, which were 50-75% inhibited by MAb 2-66-3. Microsomes from Aroclor-induced males behaved as if they were induced by both 3-methylcholanthrene and phenobarbital. After treatment with isoniazid (a P-450 IIE1 inducer), inhibition by MAb 1-91-3 indicated a 45% contribution of P-450 IIE1 to demethylation, and both P-450 IIE1 and IIB1 (or IIB2) appear to have been induced. A major finding with uninduced microsomes was the high specificity of MAb 1-68-11 for inhibiting 4-hydroxylation, indicating that P-450 IIC11 and IIC12 catalyzed most of this omega-1-hydroxylation. In microsomes from induced rats, the MAb inhibitions showed the role of the induced P-450 IA1 (or IA2), IIB1 (or IIB2), and IIE1 in methyl-n-amylnitrosamine hydroxylation at different positions, as well as the presence of P-450 IIC11. This study illustrates the usefulness of inhibitory MAbs for defining the contribution of individual P-450s to position-specific metabolism.

Abstract
One of the important medicinal properties of ginger is known to remove chills caused by common cold and to warm body. In the present study, acetone extract of ginger at 100 mg/kg p.o. significantly inhibited serotonin (5-HT) induced hypothermia. Therefore, the active constituents of ginger were further examined. The acetone extract was functioned into 4 fractions by column chromatography. Fractions 1 and 2 showed significant activity. Fraction 2 was further purified and [6]-shogaol which was obtained from fraction 2-2, at 10 mg/kg p.o. was shown to inhibit 5-HT induced hypothermia. Anticathartic activity is known to be one of the medicinal effects of ginger. In the present study, acetone extract of ginger at 75 mg/kg p.o., significantly inhibited 5-HT induced diarrhea. In order to clarify the active constituents, the acetone extract was fractionated into 4 fractions by silica gel chromatography. Fractions 2 and 3, which was especially effective, were further purified and [6]-shogoal, [6]-dehydrogingerdione, [8]- and [10]-gingerol were found to have an anticathartic action. [6]-Shogaol was more potent than [6]-dehydrogingerdione, [8]- and [10]-gingerol.

Abstract
Ultrastructural changes in Plasmodium gallinaceum oocysts and sporozoites were studies after 5 antimalarials (pyrimethamine, primaquine, artemisinine, 5-p-fluorobenzoxyl-primaquine citrate and nitroquine) were administered to Aedes albopictus. Obvious disfigurement, such as abnormal vacuoles of various sizes in the cytoplasma, thickened oocyst capsules and damaged sporozoite pellical membranes were found in many oocysts and sporozoites in the mosquitoes. When the grade of infection of sporozoites in the salivary glands of the 5 different groups of mosquitoes were compared with the control, the rank test (Hc = 271) showed a very significant variance (P less than 0.01).

Abstract
To distinguish experimentally between motor nerve activity destined for vocal cord abductor muscles and that bound for muscles that adduct the cords, we recorded efferent activities of intralaryngeal branches of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) in decerebrate, vagotomized, paralyzed, ventilated cats. Activities of the whole RLN and phrenic nerve were also recorded. Nerve activities were assessed at several steady-state end-tidal O2 and CO2 concentrations. The nerve to the thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle, a vocal cord adductor, was only slightly active under base-line (normocapnic, hyperoxic) conditions but in most cats developed strong activity during expiration in hypocapnia or hypoxia. In severe hypocapnia, phasic expiratory TA activity persisted even during phrenic apnea, indicating continuing activity of the respiratory rhythm generator. The nerve to the posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) muscle, the vocal cord abductor, was always active in inspiration but often showed expiratory activity as well. This expiratory activity was usually enhanced by hypercapnia and often inhibited by hypoxia. The results are consistent with previous electromyographic findings and emphasize the importance of distinguishing abductor from adductor activity in studies of laryngeal control.

Abstract
To investigate the influence of inspiratory lung inflation on the respiratory activities of laryngeal motor nerves, vagally intact decerebrate paralyzed cats were ventilated by a servorespirator in accordance with their own phrenic nerve activity. Records were made of the activities of the phrenic nerve, the superior laryngeal nerve (SLN), the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN), and the intralaryngeal branches of the RLN serving the thyroarytenoid (TA) and posterior cricoarytenoid (PCA) muscles. Neural activities were assessed in the steady state at different end-tidal O2 and CO2 concentrations. Transient responses to withholding inspiratory lung inflation and to preventing expiratory lung emptying were also studied. Hypercapnia and hypoxia increased the inspiratory activities of the phrenic nerve, SLN, RLN, and its PCA branch. TA inspiratory activity was not changed. Expiratory activities of RLN, PCA, and TA were all increased in hypoxia. When lung inflation was withheld, neural inspiratory duration and the inspiratory activities of all nerves increased. The subsequent period of neural expiration was marked by an exaggerated burst of activity by the TA branch of the RLN. TA expiratory activity was also sharply increased after inspiratory efforts that were reflexly delayed by the prevention of lung emptying. TA activity in expiration was enhanced after vagotomy and was usually more prominent than when lung inflation was withheld before vagal section. The results demonstrate the importance and complexity of the influence of vagal afferents on laryngeal motor activity.

Activities of the phrenic, facial, and mylohyoid nerves were monitored. Progressive caudal-to-rostral transections of the spinal cord and medulla were performed. Phrenic activity was eliminated by C1 spinal transections. Only modest changes in facial and mylohyoid activities resulted from transections as far rostral as the level of the dorsal respiratory nucleus. Rhythmic discharges ceased on transections at the pontomedullary junction. However, rhythmic mylohyoid discharges were maintained if protriptyline and strychnine were administered before and during the transection. In other studies rhythmic phrenic, facial, and mylohyoid discharges continued, albeit with an altered rhythm, after destruction of neurons in the dorsal respiratory nucleus by kainic acid. We conclude that caudal medullary mechanisms do not play an essential role in the neurogenesis of breathing movements. Rather, structures in rostral medulla and pons appear necessary for sustaining eupneic neural activities. The concept of multiple brain stem sites for ventilatory neurogenesis is discussed.

Abstract
A clinical analysis of 38 patients with cerebral metastasis from lung cancer is reported 17 patients had primary cancer symptoms prior to the increased intracranial pressure 34 patients were examined by cerebral angiography or ventriculography and 4 by CT scan. The incidence of cerebral metastasis with lung as the primary focus ranks first (54.7%). Three pathologic processes of intracranial metastasis: (1) cancer cell thrombosis stage (2) growth reaction stage (3) increased intracranial pressure stage. In this series, 16 patients were given conservative treatment and 22 were operated by craniotomy and resection. The results show that the operation could improve the symptoms and signs and prolong the survival time. The surgical treatment of lesions in the brain is emphasized and the indications are discussed.
