Abstract
We describe a hemoglobin beta-chain mutant detected incidentally in an unusual profile of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measured by ion-exchange HPLC. Analysis of intact globin by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and peptide analysis by on-line HPLC-ESI-MS-MS revealed the substitution, [beta111(G13)Val-->Ala], which was confirmed by DNA analysis. This was the second case of Hb Stanmore. As the first case combined beta(0)-thalassemia, and the family study in that case showed no case of Hb Stanmore without combined thalassemia, the case presented here is the first case of single heterozygote, and the first Japanese case. Hb Stanmore is isoelectrophoretically silent with only mild clinical symptoms, although stability by isopropanol test was positive.

Abstract
Only a small proportion of the mouse genome is transcribed into mature messenger RNA transcripts. There is an international collaborative effort to identify all full-length mRNA transcripts from the mouse, and to ensure that each is represented in a physical collection of clones. Here we report the manual annotation of 60,770 full-length mouse complementary DNA sequences. These are clustered into 33,409 'transcriptional units', contributing 90.1% of a newly established mouse transcriptome database. Of these transcriptional units, 4,258 are new protein-coding and 11,665 are new non-coding messages, indicating that non-coding RNA is a major component of the transcriptome. 41% of all transcriptional units showed evidence of alternative splicing. In protein-coding transcripts, 79% of splice variations altered the protein product. Whole-transcriptome analyses resulted in the identification of 2,431 sense-antisense pairs. The present work, completely supported by physical clones, provides the most comprehensive survey of a mammalian transcriptome so far, and is a valuable resource for functional genomics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of successfully implanted S670 and NIR stents. METHODS Stents were successfully implanted in 143 patients (148 lesions) aged 65 +/- 9 years from January 1999 to April 2001. Sixty-eight lesions were treated with S670 stents and 80 with NIR stents. Quantitative coronary angiography was performed before, immediately after and 6 months after implantation. An angiographic classification of in-stent restenosis was developed according to the geographic distribution of intimal hyperplasia in reference to the implanted stent. Furthermore, the relationships between stent diameter and length and restenosis rate were estimated. RESULTS Type B2/C lesions were significantly more common in patients with S 670 (77.3%) stents compared with NIR (43.6%). Stent length was longer and diameter was smaller in patients with S 670 stents compared with those with NIR stents. Acute-gain was similar in the two groups, but late-loss was significantly greater in patients with S 670 stents compared with those with NIR stents. Restenosis rate and target lesion revascularization rate were similar in the two groups. The diffuse type of restenosis lesion was frequently found in S 670 stents. The stent diameter, but not stent length, influenced the restenosis rate in S 670 stents. Both stent length and diameter influenced the restenosis rate in NIR stents. CONCLUSIONS Late-loss was larger and in-stent restenosis of diffuse type was significantly greater in S 670 stents compared with NIR stents. However, stent length was significantly longer and type B2/C lesions were significantly greater in S 670 stents compared with NIR stents. There was no difference in restenosis rate and target lesion revascularization rate. In addition, restenosis rate was not influenced by stent length in S 670 stents, so S 670 stents may be useful for complex lesions.

Abstract
The patient was a 47-year-old woman who underwent total hysterectomy for uterine leiomyoma in 1994. Two years later, intracaval and intravenous tumors were found by ultrasonic cardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, enhanced chest computed tomography, and venography. The patient underwent total removal of these tumors. Pathological findings indicated that these tumors were leiomyomas. After comparing the present findings with those of similar cases in the literature, we concluded that our patient had intravenous leiomyomatosis extending into the heart.

Abstract
Organotin compounds (butyl-, phenyl-, octyl- and tributylmonomethyltin) and inorganic tin were quantified in sea-water and sediments from two harbours and several locations on the southeast coast of India using highly sensitive and selective gas chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (GC-ICP-MS), adopting new extraction and analytical techniques with extremely low detection limits (water, 0.019-0.85 pg l(-1); sediment, 0.23-0.48 ng g(-1)). The concentrations of monobutyltin (MBT), dibutyltin (DBT) and tributyltin (TBT) in sea-water from Tuticorin harbour varied from 0.64 to 4.97, 3.0 to 26.8 and 0.3 to 30.4 ng Sn l(-1), respectively. MBT, DBT and TBT in sediments from harbour areas ranged from 1.6 to 393, 1.3 to 394 and ND (not detected) to 1280 ng Sn g(-1) (dry weight), respectively. Natural methylation in both harbours was established by quantifying tributylmonomethyltin (TBMMT) residues (sea-water, ND-0.19 ng Sn l(-1); sediment, ND-765 ng Sn g(-1) dry weight). In sea-water, octyltins were also determined as monooctyltin (MOT) > dioctyltin (DOT) > trioctyltin (TOT). Butyltin contamination in commercial harbours is evident, but other coastal waters are not contaminated with organotin residues. The high concentration of inorganic tin in estuarine sediment indicates an elevated rate of debutylation in the estuarine environment. Both methylation and debutylation of TBT in Chennai harbour were greater than in Tuticorin harbour. A significant correlation (r2 = 0.75) between total butyltin and organic carbon contents in sediment was found. To our knowledge, this is the first report on the distribution of butyltins and methylated butyltin in sea-water and sediment and octyltins in sea-water in the Indian marine environment.

Abstract
The mechanism of enamel matrix derivative (EM D) action on the periodontal wound healing process is not well understood. However, earlier in vitro studies from our laboratory demonstrated that EMD stimulated the proliferation of both periodontal ligament and gingival fibroblast cells. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to further evaluate the effect of EMD on the early wound healing process by assessing the protein levels of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). Sixteen patients, each of whom had one or two pairs of infrabony defects located contralaterally in the same arch, were included in this clinical trial. Thirty-six infrabony defects were randomly assigned treatment with flap surgery plus EMD or flap surgery plus placebo. At baseline and at 2, 4 and 12 week follow-up evaluation visits, GCF was sampled with paper strips. After determination of GCF volume, TIMP-1, MMP-1 and MMP-8 GCF levels were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Intragroup analysis: At week 2 following surgery, when compared to baseline all parameters in each study group, except MMP-1, significantly increased (p<0.05). There were no significant differences between 4 or 12 weeks and baseline in either study group. Intergroup analysis: At 4 weeks after surgery, GCF volume and TIMP-1 levels showed a significant decrease (p<0.05) in the EMD group, when compared to the placebo group. MMP-1 levels at weeks 2, 4 and 12, and MMP-8 levels at weeks 4 and 12 were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in the EMD group compared to the placebo group. EMD compared to placebo treated sites demonstrated a more rapid return to baseline levels of TIMP-1, MMP-1 and MMP-8. These findings suggest that treatment with flap surgery and EMD, compared to flap surgery with placebo, accelerated healing at an earlier stage of wound healing following surgery.

Abstract
The ESI (electrospray ionization)-Q-TOF (tandem quadrupole/orthogonal-acceleration time-of-flight) mass spectrometer combined with the nano-HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) system was utilized to pinpoint the Cu-binding site in Cu,Zn-SOD (superoxide dismutase) protein. Cu,Zn-SOD was treated with hydrogen peroxide, intended to specifically oxidize histidine residues coordinated to the copper ion as a mass spectrometric probe. The oxidized Cu,Zn-SOD was then fragmented with the successive treatment of endoproteinase Asp-N and DTT (dithiothreitol). Separation of the peptide mixture with the nano-HPLC and the on-line ESI-Q-TOF MS analysis revealed that only two peptide fragments were oxidized to a significant extent. Further analyses of oxidized peptide fragments with LC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS/MS disclosed that three out of four Cu-coordinated histidine residues were specifically oxidized by action of a redox-active copper ion and hydrogen peroxide, demonstrating the copper-catalyzed oxidation of amino acid ligands could be a versatile tool for the mass spectrometric determination of the copper-binding site. In addition, proline and valine residues in the proximity of the Cu ion were found to be oxidized upon H(2)O(2) treatment.

Abstract
The plasma of a patient with myasthenia gravis had strong lupus anticoagulant activity and his IgM paraprotein displayed non-specific inhibition to coagulation factors IX, XI, XII, prekallikrein, and high molecular weight kininogen. He was placed on prednisolone, which resulted in improvement in his myasthenic symptoms, but the prolongation of APTT and macroglobulinemia remained. Double filtration plasmapheresis successfully decreased the serum IgM level from 1,190 mg/dl to 375 mg/dl and APTT improved from 58 s to 38 s. Myasthenia gravis is frequently associated with other autoimmune diseases, but the association with lupus anticoagulant and IgM gammopathy is rare.

Abstract
We report a case of recurrent pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A 51-year-old male was admitted to our hospital because of lumbago and general fatigue, with multiple ulcers on the soles of his feet. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from peripheral blood and the foot ulcers, and 67Gallium scintigram showed abnormal isotope uptake, accumulated at the lower thoracic spine. Antibiotics were administered and the patient underwent intensive insulin therapy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), performed after the levels of C-reactive protein decreased to 0.0 mg/dl, indicated old inflammatory changes at the Th8-Th9 spine and antibiotics were stopped. Unexpectedly, 8 days later the patient complained of lumbago with fever again, and MRI showed acute inflammatory changes at the same lesion site. This case report suggests that it is important for complementary antibiotic therapy to continue after signs of inflammation have disappeared in cases of pyogenic vertebral osteomyelitis.

Abstract
We cloned a novel ankyrin repeat protein, Arpp, by immunoscreening a cDNA library constructed from a human esophageal carcinoma cell line, TE1, with an antibody directed to a hypothetical protein encoded by antisense p53 mRNA. Arpp protein is composed of 333 amino acids and contains four ankyrin-like repeat motifs in the middle portion of the protein, a PEST-like sequence and a lysine-rich sequence similar to a nuclear localization signal in the N-terminal region, and a proline-rich region containing consensus phosphorylation sites in the C-terminal region. Protein sequence analysis revealed that Arpp is homologous (52.7% identity) to Carp which is shown to be involved in the regulation of the transcription of the cardiac ventricular myosin light chain 2 gene. Arpp mRNA was found to be expressed in normal skeletal and cardiac muscle. Interestingly, Arpp expression was detectable in bilateral ventricles, but undetectable in bilateral atria and large vessels, suggesting that Arpp may play a specific function in cardiac ventricles as well as skeletal muscles.
