Abstract
The microscopic observation drug susceptibility assay (MODS) was evaluated to determine susceptibility to pyrazinamide in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and compared with the broth microdilution method (BMM), absolute concentration method (ACM), and pyrazinamidase (PZase) determination. We tested 34 M. tuberculosis clinical isolates (24 sensitive and eight resistant to pyrazinamide) and the control strains M. tuberculosis H37Rv (ATCC 27294) and Mycobacterium bovis AN5. The MODS, BMM, ACM and PZase determination provided results in average times of 6, 18, 28 and 7 days, respectively. All methods showed excellent sensitivity and specificity (p <0.05). Of the methods studied, the MODS proved to be faster, efficient, inexpensive, and easy to perform. However, additional studies evaluating the MODS in differentiating pyrazinamide-resistant and pyrazinamide-susceptible M. tuberculosis must be conducted with a larger number of clinical isolates.

Abstract
ABSTRACTThe contact characteristics between Al interconnections in LSI's and direct written Mo lines has been substantially improved by adopting, for the first time, short-pulse-laser induced Mo CVD. The linewidth stability upon Al interconnections has also been improved. Transient, localized heating with short laser pulses effectively overcomes the heat dissipation through Al interconnections which degraded contact characteristics and prevented fine drawing near the Al interconnection. This new scheme can appreciably widen the applicable device field of direct writing circuit restructuring.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although many survey reports on sick house syndrome have been published, few clinical studies have reported sick building syndrome (SBS) in Japan. We examined patients with SBS-like complaints by clinical observation and made environment measurements. METHODS The subjects of our study were 11 office workers (2 men and 9 women) who visited our hospital because of poor physical condition after the construction and painting of a fireproof vault in their office. We performed a medical interview, biochemical examinations of blood, immunological tests, pulmonary function tests, and psychological tests. The environment in the office was evaluated 3 times at 27, 55, and 132 days after the cessation of vault construction. A questionnaire survey was distributed to the workers who did not visit our hospital. RESULTS The workers resumed work 9 days after the end of construction: Shortly after the resumption of work, most of the workers smelled a bad odor, and complained of headache, malaise, disturbed concentration, and eye irritation. Acrylic resin paint was used for painting the vault, and the concentrations of toluene, xylene, and total volatile organic compounds (T-VOC) on day 27 after painting were 2,972, 2,610, and 7,100 μg/m³, respectively. One hundred and thirty-two days after painting, the concentrations of toluene, xylene, and T-VOC decreased to unscented levels of 78, 113, and 261 μg/m³, respectively. CONCLUSION Seven females among the eleven patients were diagnosed as having SBS on the basis of the time of the onset of the symptoms, negative results of allergy and other organic diseases, and the results of the environment measurements. From the responses of the other workers (22 men and 1 woman) to the survey questionnaire, the development and the disappearance of complaints, such as bad odor and unpleasantness, agreed with change of the level of toluene in the vault, which confirmed the validity of the SBS diagnosis.

Abstract
The transactinide nuclides261Rf and262Db have been successfully produced in the248Cm(18O,5n) reaction at 99 MeV and in the248Cm(19F,5n) reaction at 100, 103, and 106 MeV, respectively, at the JAERI tandem accelerator. The on-line ion exchange experiments with an automated fast and repetitive liquid chromatography separation system were performed in the HNO3/HF system using Rf homologues89mZr and167,165Hf produced in the89Y(p,n) and152Gd(18O,xn) reactions, respectively. The radiotracers88Zr,175Hf, and234Th were also prepared and the distribution coefficients on ion exchange resins were measured systematically in 1-11 M HCl and 1-14 M HNO3with the batch method. It was found that anion exchange experiments of Rf in 8 M HNO3and 9 M HCl provided information useful to extract the ionic radius of Rf and to verify the influence of relativistic effects.

Abstract
Adipose tissue plays an important role in energy balance and metabolism and is the major target for insulin-sensitizing peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma agonists. The angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker telmisartan, a partial agonist of PPAR-gamma, has been demonstrated to improve insulin sensitivity. However, there is uncertainty about the sites of its action. Here, we demonstrate that treatment with telmisartan (3 mg/kg p.o.) for 7 weeks decreased plasma glucose levels in oral glucose and insulin tolerance tests and the index of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance in A-ZIP/F-1 transgenic mice, an animal model of lipodystrophy. These effects were accompanied by decreases in circulating triglyceride and fatty acid levels. However, this treatment did not affect body weight and plasma adiponectin, leptin, and corticosterone levels. In A-ZIP/F-1 mouse liver the transcripts encoding PPAR-gamma and its downstream lipogenic genes were highly up-regulated, consistent with increased hepatic triglyceride content and lipid droplet accumulation. Telmisartan reversed these effects and also down-regulated mRNAs encoding gluconeogenic genes. Thus, the present findings are consistent with a novel mode of insulin-sensitizing action of telmisartan, involving an adipose tissue-independent pathway. Telmisartan-elicited down-regulation of hepatic expression of PPAR-gamma-regulated lipogenic genes is associated with amelioration of fatty liver.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS We have previously demonstrated the therapeutic usefulness of leptin in lipoatrophic diabetes and insulin-deficient diabetes in mouse models and could also demonstrate its dramatic effects on lipoatrophic diabetes in humans. The aim of the present study was to explore the therapeutic usefulness of leptin in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes with increased adiposity. METHODS To generate a mouse model mimicking human type 2 diabetes with increased adiposity, we used a combination of low-dose streptozotocin (STZ, 120 microg/g body weight) and high-fat diet (HFD, 45% of energy as fat). Recombinant mouse leptin was infused chronically (20 ng [g body weight](-1) h(-1)) for 14 days using a mini-osmotic pump. The effects of leptin on food intake, body weight, metabolic variables, tissue triacylglycerol content and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activity were examined. RESULTS Low-dose STZ injection led to a substantial reduction of plasma insulin levels and hyperglycaemia. Subsequent HFD feeding increased adiposity and induced insulin resistance and further augmentation of hyperglycaemia. In this model mouse mimicking human type 2 diabetes (STZ/HFD), continuous leptin infusion reduced food intake and body weight and improved glucose and lipid metabolism with enhancement of insulin sensitivity. Leptin also decreased liver and skeletal muscle triacylglycerol content accompanied by an increase of alpha2 AMPK activity in skeletal muscle. Pair-feeding experiments demonstrated that leptin improved glucose and lipid metabolism independently of the food intake reduction. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION This study demonstrates the beneficial effects of leptin on glycaemic and lipid control in a mouse model of type 2 diabetes with increased adiposity, indicating the possible clinical usefulness of leptin as a new glucose-lowering drug in humans.

Abstract
Micron-sized inorganic microparticles with hollow insides were prepared by interfacial reaction method, in which an ion exchange reaction between Na(+) and metal cations in internal and external aqueous phases, respectively, proceeded through the oil phase involving a cation carrier. The diameter of microballoons was approximately 10 microm and shell thickness was below 2 microm. The effects of preparation conditions against the formation of microballoons were examined. The factors examined were metal species in the external aqueous phase and the concentrations of metal chloride and cation carrier. The cross-section of microparticles formed was inspected by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the inner space of some metal silicates was not hollow but filled-up. The increase of internal and external aqueous solution concentrations caused the increase of diameter and shell thickness of microballoons. Since the penetration of metal cation through the oil phase was promoted by the increase of carrier concentration, the formation of microballoons was completed in a short time of less than 30 min.

Abstract
SummaryChemical studies on element 104, rutherfordium (Rf), at JAERI (Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute) are reviewed. The transactinide nuclide261Rf has been produced in the reaction248Cm(18O, 5n) at the JAERI tandem accelerator with the production cross section of about 13 nb. On-line anion-exchange experiments on Rf together with the lighter homologues, group-4 elements Zr and Hf, in acidic solutions have been conducted with a rapid ion-exchange separation apparatus. From the systematic study of the anion-exchange behavior of Rf, it has been found that the properties of Rf in HCl and HNO3solutions are quite similar to those of Zr and Hf, definitely confirming that Rf is a member of the group-4 elements. However, we have observed an unexpected chemical behavior of Rf in HF solutions; the fluoride complex formation of Rf is significantly different from those of the homologues. Prospects of extending chemical studies on transactinide elements in the near future at JAERI are briefly considered.
