Abstract
Heat-capacity changes (deltaC(p)0) were determined for the complexation of 1-alkanecarboxylates with protonated hexakis(6-amino-6-deoxy)-alpha-cyclodextrin (per-NH3(+)-alpha-CD) and heptakis(6-amino-6-deoxy)-beta-cyclodextrin (per-NH3(+)-beta-CD). DeltaC(p)0 decreased with an increase in the binding constant (K) and plateaued at K = 4000 M(-1). The complexes of 1-pentanoate, 1-hexanoate, and 1-heptanoate with per-NH3(+)-alpha-CD are classified as the host-guest system in which the size of the guest fits the CD cavity well. In such a system, van der Waals interaction is the major force for complexation, leading to a negative deltaH0 value. Simultaneously, the water molecules around the hydrophobic alkyl chain of the guest and inside the CD cavity are released to the aqueous bulk phase, leading to a positive deltaS0 value. The negative deltaC(p)0 value in such complexation is ascribed to dehydration of the hydrophobic alkyl chain of the guest and extrusion of the water molecules inside the CD cavity. Meanwhile, the complexes that show positive deltaC(p)0 values are characterized by complexation in which the guest molecules are significantly smaller than the CD cavities. In such a case, the complexation is endothermic and driven by the entropy gain. When the guest is much smaller than the CD cavity, the main binding force should be Coulomb interaction. To form an ionic bond, dehydration of the charged groups must occur. This process is endothermic and leads to positive deltaH0 and deltaS0 values. As the top of the CD cavity is capped by a small but hydrophobic alkyl chain, the water molecules inside the CD cavity may form the iceberg structure. This process must be accompanied by a positive deltaC(p)0 value. Hence, the complexation of a small guest with the CD with a large cavity through Coulomb interactions shows positive and large deltaC(p)0 values. These conclusions were applied to the electrostatic binding of proteins with an anionic ligand.

Abstract
The 1:1 inclusion complex of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphinato iron(II) (Fe(II)TPPS) and an O-methylated beta-cyclodextrin dimer having a pyridine linker (1) binds dioxygen reversibly in aqueous solution. The O2 adduct was very stable (t(1/2) = 30.1 h) at pH 7.0 and 25 degrees C. ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopic measurements and molecular mechanics (MM) calculations indicated the inclusion of the sulfonatophenyl groups at the 5- and 15-positions of Fe(III)TPPS or Fe(II)TPPS into two cyclodextrin moieties of 1 to form a supramolecular 1:1 complex (hemoCD1 for the Fe(II)TPPS complex), whose iron center is completely covered by two cyclodextrin moieties. Equilibrium measurements and laser flash photolysis provided the affinities ( and ) and rate constants for O2 and CO binding of hemoCD1 (k(O2)(on), k(O2)(off), k(CO)(on), and k(CO)(off)). The CO affinity relative to the O2 affinity of hemoCD1 was abnormally high. Although resonance Raman spectra suggested weak back-bonding of d(pi)(Fe) --> pi(CO) and hence a weak CO-Fe bond, the CO adduct of hemoCD1 was very stable. The hydrophobic CO molecule dissociated from CO-hemoCD1 hardly breaks free from a shallow cleft in hemoCD1 surrounded by an aqueous bulk phase leading to fast rebinding of CO to hemoCD1. Isothermal titration calorimetry furnished the association constant (K(O2)), DeltaH degrees , and DeltaS degrees for O2 association to be (2.71 +/- 0.51) x 10(4) M(-1), -65.2 +/- 4.4 kJ mol(-1), and -133.9 +/- 16.1 J mol(-1) K(-1), respectively. The autoxidation of oxy-hemoCD1 was accelerated by H+ and OH-. The inorganic anions also accelerated the autoxidation of oxy-hemoCD1. The O2-Fe(II) bond is equivalent to the O2.--Fe(III) bond, which is attacked by the inorganic anions or the water molecule to produce met-hemoCD1 and a superoxide anion.

Abstract
A 1:1 inclusion complex (Fe(II)PImCD) of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis- (4-sulfonatophenyl)porphinatoiron(II) (Fe(II)P) and an O-methylated beta-cyclodextrin dimer with an imidazole linker (ImCD) was found to bind dioxygen in aqueous solution. The half-saturation pressure of dioxygen (P(1/2)O2) is 1.7 torr at 25 degrees C, which is 10 times lower than that for a previous myoglobin functional model (hemoCD) with a pyridine linker. Meanwhile, the half-life of oxygenated Fe(II)PImCD is 3 h, which is 10 times shorter than that of oxygenated hemoCD. The covering of the iron(II) center by a microscopic environment is essential for preventing autoxidation of oxygenated ferrous porphyrin, which is promoted by nucleophilic attack of H2O and/or nucleophiles such as inorganic anions. Due to structural requirements, covering of the Fe(II) center of Fe(II)PImCD is insufficient compared with the case of hemoCD. As a result, water molecules can penetrate more easily the cleft of the O2-Fe(II)PImCD complex and act as an autoxidation inducer. This structure also causes poorer selectivity against carbon monoxide (M = 1040). In contrast, the dioxygen affinity of Fe(II)PImCD is much higher than that of hemoCD because the imidazole moiety is a stronger electron donor than pyridine.

Abstract
Enzymatic redox reactions for the oxidation (or reduction) of the substrates use organic dyes or metal complexes as electron acceptors (or donors), which can be regenerated by electrochemical reactions of the compounds at an electrode surface. This type of coupling of the enzymatic reactions with the electrochemical reactions is called bioelectrocatalysis and allows us to measure the enzymatic reactions by an electrochemical method. The enzyme-electrochemical method provides a new technique for investigating a variety of biological redox reactions and for applying the reactions to biosensors, bioreactors, and biofuel cells. The bioelectrocatalysis-based research works are described here. First, a new method of protein redox potential measurements and a novel electrochemical kinetic analysis of oxidoreductase reactions are described. Second, a new methodology of characterizing microbial catalytic activities is presented. In the last, applications to the constructions of biosensors, bioreactors, and biofuel cells are mentioned.

Abstract
[structure: see text] The mechanism for formation of extremely stable 1:2 inclusion complexes of water-soluble meso-tetraarylporphyrins with heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (TMe-beta-CD) in aqueous solutions has been studied by means of NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry. To simplify the system, 5,10,15-tris(3,5-dicarboxylatophenyl)-20-phenylporphyrin (1) was used as a guest porphyrin, because 1 forms only a 1:1 inclusion complex with cyclodextrin (CD). As host compounds, native beta-CD and the O-methylated-beta-CDs such as heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl)- (2,3-DMe-beta-CD), heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)- (2,6-DMe-beta-CD), and TMe-beta-CDs were used. The thermodynamic parameters for complexation such as binding constants (K) and enthalpy (DeltaH degrees ) and entoropy changes (DeltaS degrees ) were determined by means of isothermal titration calorimetry. The K value for complexation of 1 with CD increases in the order beta-CD (K = (1.2 +/- 0.1) x 10(3) M(-)(1)) < 2,6-DMe-beta-CD ((1.2 +/- 0.1) x 10(4) M(-)(1)) << TMe-beta-CD ((6.9 +/- 0.4) x 10(6) M(-)(1)) < 2,3-DMe-beta-CD ((8.5 +/- 0.5) x 10(6) M(-)(1)), indicating participation of the secondary OCH(3) groups in extremely strong complexation of 1 with CD. Complex formation of 1 with beta-CD and 2,6-DMe-beta-CD is an enthalpically and entropically favorable process, while that with TMe-beta-CD and 2,3-DMe-beta-CD is an enthalpically much more favorable but an entropically less favorable process. The thermodynamic parameters suggest that inclusion of 1 into the cavities of TMe-beta-CD and 2,3-DMe-beta-CD is promoted by van der Waals interactions, which are stronger than those in the cases of beta-CD and 2,6-DMe-beta-CD. (13)C NMR spectra show that the conformations of both TMe-beta-CD and 2,3-DMe-beta-CD are altered upon inclusion of 1, while those of beta-CD and 2,6-DMe-beta-CD are mostly retained. On the basis of these results, it can be concluded that induced-fit type complexation of 1 with TMe-beta-CD and 2,3-DMe-beta-CD causes extremely strong binding of the host to the guest.

Abstract
In Japan, many disabled elderly people remain hospitalized for long periods. Cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) are the most causes responsible for such disability. To examine the predictors of home discharge in CVD patients, we performed a 1-year follow-up interview of the main caregivers of patients hospitalized with a CVD event. The initial cohort consisted of CVD patients hospitalized in all the second level emergency and general hospitals in Ibaraki Prefecture in February 1992 (N=888 patients in 53 hospitals). In the following year, we performed an interview survey of the main caregivers of these CVD patients. The survey items included the characteristics of the patients (including medical and socioeconomic conditions), caregivers, and family members. The final study population included the main caregivers of 187 home patients and 90 institutionalized patients. We compared these two groups in terms of predictors of discharge to home. The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the following seven factors were related to home discharge; better baseline activities of daily living (ADL), larger improvement in ADL, larger family size, spouse as the caregiver, caregiver without a full-time job, better economic status of the caregiver, and sources of the patient's income. Our study indicated that the caregiver's conditions were closely related to home discharge of the CVD patients. More attention should, therefore, be centered on the caregiver's well-being and economic aspects as well as the patient's conditions in order to encourage home discharge of stroke patients.

Abstract
AIM There are conflicting data regarding the clinical benefit of the effect of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins) in osteoporosis. We have reported that fluvastatin (a statin) is effective in improving proteinuria and renal function in childhood IgA nephropathy with mild histological findings and moderate proteinuria. The aim of the present study was to clarify the effect of fluvastatin on the bone mineral density, bone metabolic markers, proteinuria, and renal function of children with minimal change glomerulonephritis with some focal mesangial cell proliferation whose glomeruli did not stain positive for IgA and on moderate proteinuria. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a prospective controlled study of 36 children who had recently been diagnosed with normocholesterolemic minimal change glomerulonephritis with some focal mesangial cell proliferation and moderate proteinuria, and in whom strenuous exercise was restricted. The 36 patients were randomly assigned to receive 20 mg of fluvastatin (group 1) or 5 mg/kg of dipyridamole (group 2) for two years. RESULTS By the end of the trial, there was no difference in BMD between the groups, and there were no changes in the four bone metabolic parameters. However, the urinary protein, hematuria and BUN levels had significantly decreased in group 1 compared to baseline, and the serum total protein and albumin levels and creatinine clearance had significantly increased in group 1 compared to baseline and group 2. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that fluvastatin therapy has an antiproteinuric effect and improves renal function in moderately proteinuric patients with mild histological glomerulonephritis, but does not increase BMD.

Abstract
Two tetradentate ligands 1,2-bis[2-((dimethylamino)methyl)-6-pyridyl]ethane (L1) and 1,2-bis[2-(N-piperidinomethyl)-6-pyridyl]ethane (L2) and a hexadentate ligand 1,2-bis(2-((methyl(pyridylmethyl)amino)methyl)-6-pyridyl)ethane (L3) were prepared as part of a series of new polypyridine ligands possessing a 1,2-bis(2-pyridyl)ethane common moiety. L1 and L2 form mononuclear Cu(II) complexes [Cu(L)(Cl)](ClO4) [L = L1 (1) and L2 (2)], respectively. L3 forms a dinuclear Cu(II) complex [Cu2(L3)((PhO)2PO2)2](ClO4)2 (3) or a hexanuclear Cu(II) complex [Cu6(L3)3((PhO)PO3)4](ClO4)4 (4) in the presence of (PhO)2PO2- monoanion or (PhO)PO3(2-) dianion, respectively. The structures of 1-4 were determined by X-ray analysis. The structures in solution were investigated by means of FAB and CSI MS spectrometers. The structural flexibility of the common 1,2-bis(2-pyridyl)ethane moiety and of the pendant groups allows complexes 1-4 to adapt to the various structures. Each Cu ion in 1 and 2 adopts a square pyramidal geometry with one Cl ion and two pendant groups (L1 and L2) binding in a bis-bidentate chelate mode. There is no steric repulsion between the pendant groups, so that the ligands specifically stabilize the mononuclear structures. L3 binds two Cu(II) ions with two pendant groups in tridentate chelate modes and, with the incorporation of phosphate esters, various dinuclear units are formed in 3 and 4. In 4, a dinuclear unit of [Cu2(L3)]4+ links two dinuclear units of [Cu2(L3)(PhOPO3)2] with four (mu3)-1,3-PhOPO3(2-) bridges. The hydrolytic activity of 2 and a dicopper(II) complex of L3 was examined with tris(p-nitrophenyl) phosphate (TNP) as a substrate.

Abstract
Since the first success in producing cloned pigs, donor cells have been limited to fetal fibroblasts and a few other cell types. The aim of the present study was to determine if porcine preadipocytes can be efficient donor cells for somatic cell nuclear transfer (NT) in pigs. Preadipocytes established from subcutaneous adipose tissue of a male adult pig were used as nuclear donor cells. Cell cycle synchronization was carried out by serum starvation (5 days), confluency (5 days), roscovitine treatment (15 μM, 2 days), or differentiation induction by 0.5 mM 3-Isobutyl-1-methylxanthine, 0.25 μM dexamethasone, and 5 μg/mL insulin (5 days). Cell cycle synchronization and apoptosis of the donor cells were examined by flow cytometry and Annexin V staining and TUNEL. IVM oocytes were obtained from abattoir ovaries and matured in NCSU23. Donor cells were fused with the enucleated recipient oocytes by a single DC pulse of 200 V/mm for 10 μs in 0.28 M mannitol + 0.15 mM MgSO4. Reconstructed embryos were electrically activated at 1–1.5 h after the NT, followed by cytochalasin B treatment for 3 h. Development of the NT embryos was assessed by fixation/staining at 3 h after NT, culture for 7 days in NCSU23, and transfer to the oviducts of estrus-synchronized recipient gilts. The cells immediately entered the G0 phase by differentiation induction (92.5 ± 0.4%), with higher efficiency of synchronization than for the other methods (roscovitine: 80.3 ± 0.2%; confluency: 79.9 ± 0.3%, P < 0.05) except for serum starvation (89.8 ± 0.6%). The proportion of apoptotic cells in the differentiation group was significantly lower than the other groups (Annexin V: 7.7% vs. 15.7 to 19.3%, TUNEL: 8.3% vs. 12.8 to 14.0%, P < 0.05). Incidence of premature chromosome condensation following NT (88.0%) was as high as that observed after NT with fetal fibroblasts previously (data not shown). In vitro developmental rates of the NT embryos did not differ significantly among the cell cycle synchronization methods of the donor cells (7.2 to 10.8%). Cell number of the blastocysts was highest in the differentiation group (49.0 vs. 30.2 to 41.9, P < 0.05). Transfer of 1004 cloned embryos of the serum starvation group to 5 recipients resulted in the production of 4 live and 1 stillborn piglets from 1 recipient. Transfer of cloned embryos reconstructed of donor cells treated by differentiation induction is currently underway. These data demonstrate that preadipocytes collected from an adult pig are promising nuclear donor cells for pig cloning.

Abstract
5,10,15,20-Tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphinato iron(III) (Fe(III)TPPS) forms a very stable 1:2 complex with heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (TMe-beta-CD), whose iron(III) center is located at a hydrophobic cleft formed by two face-to-face TMe-beta-CD molecules. Various inorganic anions (X(-)) such as F(-), Cl(-), Br(-), I(-), N(3)(-), and SCN(-) coordinate to Fe(III)TPPS(TMe-beta-CD)(2) to form five-coordinate high-spin Fe(III)TPPS(X)(TMe-beta-CD)(2), while no coordination occurs with ClO(4)(-), H(2)PO(4)(-), NO(3)(-), and HSO(4)(-). Except for F(-), none of the anions investigated coordinate to Fe(III)TPPS in the absence of TMe-beta-CD due to extensive hydration to the anions as well as to Fe(III)TPPS. The present system shows a high selectivity toward the N(3)(-) anion. The thermodynamics suggests that Lewis basicity, hydrophilicity, and shape of an X(-) anion are the main factors to determine the stability of the Fe(III)TPPS(X)(TMe-beta-CD)(2) complex.
