Abstract
Pregnant rats were exposed to a single whole-body gamma-irradiation on Day 15 of gestation at a dose of 0.27, 0.48, 1.00, or 1.46 Gy. They were allowed to give birth and the offspring were killed at 6 or 12 weeks of age for microscopic and electron microscopic examinations of the cerebrum. Their body weight, brain weight, cortical thickness, and numerical densities of whole cells and synapses in somatosensory cortex were examined. Growth of the dendritic arborization of layer V pyramidal cells was also examined quantitatively with Golgi-Cox specimens. A significant dose-related reduction in brain weight was found in all irradiated groups. Neither gross malformation nor abnormality of cortical architecture was observed in the groups exposed to 0.27 Gy. A significant change was found in thickness of cortex in the groups exposed to 0.48 Gy or more. Cell packing density increased significantly in the group exposed to 1.00 Gy. Significant reduction in the number of intersections of dendrites with the zonal boundaries were found in the groups exposed to 0.27 Gy or more. There was no difference in the numerical density of synapses in layer I between the control and irradiated groups. These results suggested that doses as low as 0.27 Gy could cause a morphologically discernible change in the mammalian cerebrum.

Abstract
All 10 groups of hamsters received excision of the tip of tongue. Subsequently, 3 groups in which tongues were treated with Trp-P-2 (3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b] indole) and then again excised in their tips followed by no treatment or by additional applications of DMSO or Trp-P-2, showed moderate to severe epithelial dysplasia. One group in which tongues were not treated and then again excised followed by applications of Trp-P-2, exhibited very slight epithelial dysplasia. However, one group in which tongues were treated with DMSO and then again excised followed by additional applications of DMSO, did not show any pathological changes. The remaining 5 groups in which tongues were treated with DMSO or Trp-P-2 or received no treatment and then not excised followed by no treatment or by additional applications of DMSO or Trp-P-2, also did not show any pathologic changes. These results clearly indicated that Trp-P-2 treatment together with two times of excisional wounding could produce lingual epithelial dysplasia in hamsters.

Abstract
Developmental stage-dependent susceptibility to teratogens and sensitive period can be regarded as one of the essential points which characterize teratogenesis. In this paper, emphasis is given to a review of our studies on the critical developmental stage for induction of histogenetic disorders of the cerebral cortex and on the high vulnerability of developing neural cells to teratogenic agents. The undifferentiated ventricular cells in the mammalian fetal telencephalon are particularly vulnerable to various cytotoxic agents at the time when the ventricular cells start to differentiate into cerebral cortical neurons and the cortical plate appears. This period is day 13 of gestation in mice, day 15 in rats and 8 weeks after fertilization in humans. This developmental stage of the brain corresponds to the period of highest sensitivity for induction of cerebral cortical disorders observed postnatally both in laboratory animals and in humans. One of the significant factors determining the period of highest sensitivity of the ventricular cells could be a certain initial phase of cytodifferentiation in G1 and G0 phase cells prior to their actual morphological differentiation.

Abstract
Changes in functional activities of mitochondria from kidney cortical slices incubated with cisplatin and the glutathione depletor diethylmaleate were examined. Diethylmaleate, which decreased the glutathione level in the slices, enhanced the cisplatin-induced decreases in glutathione level and calcium uptake in the mitochondria. The movement of cisplatin into mitochondria in the slices was not affected by diethylmaleate. These results suggest that the depressions in glutathione level and calcium uptake by cisplatin in mitochondria are enhanced by a decrease in cytoplasmic glutathione.

Abstract
After oral administration of UFT and lingual topical application of 5-FU ointment to normal mice, the change of the concentration of 5-FU and Uracil in the tongue, liver and blood serum were studied. We compared with UFT only group, 5-FU ointment only group and the both combination chemotherapy group. 1. As for the tongue concentrations, 5-FU levels in both combination chemotherapy group and 5-FU ointment only group were higher compared to UFT only group. There was no difference between combination chemotherapy and 5-FU ointment only group. Uracil at 21-days in combination chemotherapy group were higher than others. 2. The liver concentrations of 5-FU at 21-days was significantly higher. 3. The blood serum concentrations of 5-FU in both combination chemotherapy and 5-FU ointment only groups revealed similar results. Thereafter, combination chemotherapy in oral region with topical application of 5-FU ointment and UFT may be effective.

Abstract
The first digital ray of the hindlimb plate in Slc:ICR mouse fetus was irradiated with 2 watts argon laser beam for 0.3 sec after releasing from the abdominal cavity and envelop of uterine myometrium on day 13 of gestation, and then the fetuses were allowed to develop in the abdominal cavity contacting with the uterus via the placenta exo utero until term. ICR mouse fetuses which received fetal laser surgery lost their first digits completely, resulting in 4-digit hindfoot on day 18 of gestation. The homozygous Polydactyly Nagoya (Pdn/Pdn) mice exhibit 1-3 extra digits both in the fore- and hindlimbs preaxially. The extra digital rays in the left hindlimbs of Pdn/Pdn fetuses were irradiated with 2 watts argon laser beam for 0.3 sec on day 13 of gestation exo utero. The left hindlimbs of the Pdn/Pdn fetuses which received fetal laser surgery lost their preaxial extra digits on day 18 of gestation, resulting in 5 digits, though their 1st digit was triphalangia. The combination of a laser instrument with the fetoscope and/or ultrasound scanner may promote the fetal surgery of congenital anomalies in humans.

Abstract
The addition of a new compound containing platinum, 254-S, an antineoplastic agent, to medium had no effect on p-aminohippurate (PAH) accumulation, gluconeogenesis, or potassium and ATP concentrations in rat kidney cortical slices at the concentrations tested, up to 10 mM. At 1 mM, cisplatin, used for comparison, significantly decreased all of these biochemical indices in the slices. Administration of 254-S at a low dose (10 mg/kg i.v.) to rats decreased the ability of the slices to accumulate PAH and to maintain the potassium concentration, without affecting levels of urea or creatinine in blood plasma. 254-S at a high dose (20 mg/kg i.v.) or cisplatin at 5 mg/kg (i.v.) also decreased these indices in the slices, and affected urea and creatinine in blood plasma. These results suggested that use of the renal slice technique gives data useful for the evaluation of the nephrotoxicity of 254-S, and that PAH accumulation and the potassium concentration in slices from rats treated with 254-S are indicators of nephrotoxic damage.

Abstract
The present study was undertaken to determine the fluoride distribution profile in the rat femur. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups and given water containing 0, 25, 50, and 100 ppm of fluoride, respectively, for 10 weeks. The fluoride distribution from the periosteum to the endosteum was determined in each specimen after sampling using the abrasive microsampling technique. In the outer circumferential lamellae, the concentration of fluoride was relatively high in the periosteal layer and then decreased gradually towards its interior. In the haversian and interstitial lamellae, it was lower and roughly constant through the tissue. In the inner circumferential lamellae, it rose again to reach the highest level towards the endosteal surface. Fluoride concentration throughout the cortex increased significantly with increasing intake of fluoride. These increases were especially marked at periosteal and endosteal surfaces.

Abstract
The homozygotes of a mouse strain with genetic polydactyly (Polydactyly Nagoya, Pdn) exhibit various brain malformations including exencephaly in about 20%. In the present report, the brains of homozygotes (Pdn/Pdn) which were not exencephalic were examined morphologically and biochemically. Homozygous newborn brains showed hydrocephaly, some gyri on the cerebral hemisphere, absence of the corpus callosum, absence of the commissura anterior, absence of the fornix and commissura fornicis, protuberance of the cortical tissue from the brain surface, and abnormal architecture of the hippocampus. An irregular mass of olfactory nerve was observed on the cribriform plate, and the olfactory bulb was deficient. From these findings, we considered Pdn/Pdn as a kind of arhinencephalic mouse. Nervous tissue-related proteins, S-100 alpha, S-100 beta, creatine kinase B (CK-B), neuron-specific gamma-enolase, guanosine triphosphate binding proteins (Go alpha, Gi2 alpha and G beta) were immunoassayed in the cerebrum of Pdn/Pdn embryos and newborns. Among the protein analysed, only S-100 beta of Pdn/Pdn showed a significantly lower level than that of +/+ cerebrum during the observation period. The newborn brains were examined immunohistochemically using S-100 alpha, S-100 beta, CK-B, Go alpha and NSE antibodies. We could find no differences in the staining patterns among the Pdn/Pdn, Pdn/+ and +/+ brains.

Abstract
1. Chronic administration of isoproterenol caused similar alterations of membrane lipid profile in at least two rat parotid subcellular fractions, secretory granular and microsomal. 2. Typical changes in phospholipid classes and fatty-acyl chain groups were an increase of phosphatidylcholine and a decrease of sphingomyelin, and an increase of octadecadienoyl chain and a decrease of eicosatetraenoyl chain, respectively. 3. Electron spin resonance study showed that the isoproterenol-treatment also affected a membrane physical property, which may be through these compositional changes in membrane constituents.

Abstract
Rat submandibular gland phosphatidylcholine mainly consisted of the 1-saturated acyl-2-unsaturated acyl type. The high occupancy of unsaturated fatty acid at the C-2 position is in part explained by the preference of microsomal acyl-CoA:1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (1-acyl-GPC) acyltransferase for unsaturated fatty acyl-CoAs. This enzyme activity was partially inhibited by divalent cations. Ca2+ may be important for regulation of a deacylation-reacylation cycle, suggested because Ca2+ is also known to activate the deacylation enzyme, phospholipase A2. Although the presence of 1-acyl-GPC acyltransferase activity is also observed in plasma membrane of the submandibular gland, the microsomal enzyme showed properties different from the enzyme in plasma membrane in terms of its susceptibility to neural salts and detergents. Cell proliferation caused by chronic administration of isoproterenol resulted in an increase of linoleic acid at the C-2 position of phosphatidylcholine. However, this alteration did not correlate with the changes of activity and substrate specificity of 1-acyl-GPC acyltransferase and the other C-2 acylation enzyme, 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate acyltransferase, which suggests that the alteration of fatty acid by isoproterenol treatment is due to a change of supply of substrates or specific acyl breakdown of phosphatidylcholine.

Abstract
Dissolution of metallic mercury immersed in various solutions for one, three, seven, and 14 days was investigated by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Solutions used in this study were artificial saliva, compounds of the four groups forming the artificial saliva (inorganic salts, amino acids, vitamins, other organic compounds) wholly or in part, 0.9% NaCl solution (saline solution), Ringer's solution, and distilled water. Artificial saliva showed a level of mercury dissolution seven times higher than that of saline or Ringer's solution. A large amount of dissolution, similar to that in artificial saliva, was found in the solution of the other organic compounds (containing glutathione) and in a solution containing only glutathione. Mercury dissolution in the solution of vitamins was small. There was a similarity in dissolution amounts between the solution of inorganic salts and that of amino acids. Glutathione played a major role in the dissolution of mercury.

Abstract
Golden hamsters in which the tongues were pretreated with DMBA for 4 weeks, subsequently excised, and either received no treatment or received additional postexcisional applications of acetone or DMBA for 9 to 13 days exhibited histologic evidence of epithelial dysplasia; these dysplastic lesions stained positive for papillomavirus genus-specific antigens. Conversely, animals in which the tongues received the same pretreatment yet had no excision failed to show any dysplastic changes, even though the tongues received additional applications of DMBA. Furthermore, papillomavirus genus-specific antigens were not demonstrable. The animals in which the tongues received no pretreatment with DMBA for 4 weeks followed by excisional wounding showed normal healing, even though the tongues were post-treated with DMBA. Papillomavirus genus-specific antigens could not be demonstrated in this last group.

Abstract
In the present study, the effect of bacterial protease on the periodontal tissues in rats was investigated histologically and histometrically. In the control group, 0.03 ml distilled water was applied to the lingual marginal gingiva of the mandibular incisor while, in the experimental group, 0.03 ml bacterial protease (distilled water with 300 units, Sigma type XIV) was applied to the same area. Both groups were treated once a day for 1, 3, 6, 9, 15 and 21 d. Histologically, the junctional epithelium in the experimental group showed a marked apical proliferation along the tooth surface, and the gingival connective tissue displayed also a slight inflammatory cell infiltration subepithelially. The remaining periodontal tissues were almost similar to those of the control group. Histometrically, the length of the junctional epithelium between the base of the gingival crevice and the most apical portion of the junctional epithelium in the experimental group at 9, 15 and 21 d were significantly greater (p less than 0.01) than those of the control group, respectively.

Abstract
Successive phospholipid N-methylation from phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylethanolamine in submandibular gland and liver microsomes proceeded without the addition of exogenous phospholipid substrate. Methylation activity in the submandibular microsomes showed different susceptibilities to various detergents than the liver enzyme and also partially required Mg2+. However, the three methylation steps could not be distinguished by their Mg2+ requirements. Ca2+ had no effect on the activity. The methylation activity in submandibular gland was much lower than in liver. Chronic administration of isoproterenol, which causes an increase of phosphatidylcholine in membrane phospholipids of salivary glands, decreased methylation activity in the submandibular gland. Thus the increase in phosphatidylcholine in isoproterenol-treated rat salivary glands may not be derived from the phospholipid methylation pathway, but may be due to stimulation of other routes of phosphatidylcholine metabolism.

Abstract
Efficacies of 8 antibiotics against Pseudomonas aeruginosa in the relation to serotypes and clinical sources were investigated on 50 strains isolated from patients at Nagoya Ekisaikai Hospital between August and September, 1986. Disk sensitivity test was carried out simultaneously for 5 antibiotics including piperacillin (PIPC), cefoperazone (CPZ), cefsulodin (CFS), ceftazidime (CAZ) and amikacin (AMK), using the single-disk method. We also examined changes in susceptibilities of P. aeruginosa to 5 antibiotics including PIPC, CFS, fosfomycin, gentamicin (GM) and AMK during last 4 years (1983-1986). The results are summarized as follows. 1. CAZ and AMK proved to have high antibacterial potencies, and their MIC80's (concentrations to inhibit growth of 80% of objective bacteria) were both 6.25 micrograms/ml. Following these two the order of potencies were; CFS, cefpiramide (CPM), PIPC, CPZ, netilmicin (NTL), and cefmenoxime (CMX). Sixty two percent of the strains of P. aeruginosa showed high resistances (MIC greater than 50 micrograms/ml) to CPM, CPZ, NTL and CFS, 58% to PIPC, and 2% to AMK. 2. With regard to serotypes, strains belonging to type E were less susceptible than those belonging to types G and I. Type E strains showed high resistance to all antibiotics except CAZ and AMK. 3. Strains obtained from pura and secreta were relatively susceptible, while those from urines were resistant, to these antibiotics tested, in general. 4. Good correlation between MIC's obtained with the agar dilution method (MIC less than or equal to 12.5 micrograms/ml) and these with the disk sensitivity test (greater than ¿ was observed. chi 2 statistical analysis showed that the results obtained with the 2 methods were closely related (P less than 0.01). 5. P. aeruginosa showed fairly high susceptibility to AMK through the recent 4 years (1983-1986). On the other hand, highly resistant strains against CFS, PIPC, FOM and GM increased rapidly during this period.

Abstract
We investigated in vitro synergistic activity of astromicin (ASTM) combined with beta-lactam antibiotics (cefsulodin (CFS), cefoperazone (CPZ), ceftazidime (CAZ), piperacillin (PIPC) and fosfomycin (FOM) against fresh clinical isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which consisted of 13 CFS sensitive (MIC less than or equal to 3.13 micrograms/ml) and 19 CFS resistant (MIC greater than or equal to 400 micrograms/ml) strains according to the FIC index. Against CFS-sensitive P. aeruginosa, ASTM showed good synergistic activities when combined with PIPC (54%), CAZ (38%), CPZ (23%) and CFS (8%). Against CFS-resistant P. aeruginosa, ASTM also showed high synergistic activities when combined with CAZ (63%), CPZ (47%), PIPC (37%) and CFS (11%). Among the CFS-resistant P. aeruginosa, one clinical isolate showed a high sensitivity (MIC0.78 micrograms/ml) against ASTM alone.

Abstract
Pregnant ICR mice were treated with single whole-body X-radiation at a dose of 0.24 Gy on day 10, 13, or 15 of gestation. Fetuses were obtained from mothers during 1 and 24 hours after irradiation. Pyknotic cells in the ventricular zone of telencephalon were counted in serial histological sections. Incidence of pyknotic cells peaked during 6 and 9 hours after irradiation in each gestation day group. Then, dose-response curves were obtained 6 hours after 0-0.48 Gy of irradiation. All three dose-response curves showed clear linearity in the dose range lower than 0.24 Gy. Ratios of radiosensitivity estimated from the slopes of dose-response curves in day 10, 13, and 15 groups were 1, 1.4, and 0.4, respectively. These demonstrated that ventricular cells in the day 13 fetal telencephalon were the most radiosensitive among the three different age groups. In order to confirm the presence of the highly radiosensitive stage common to mammalian cerebral cortical histogenesis, pregnant F344 rats were treated with single whole-body gamma-irradiation at a dose of 0.48 Gy on day 13, 14, 15, 17, or 19 of gestation. The incidence of pyknotic cells in the ventricular zone of telencephalon was examined microscopically during 1 and 24 hours after irradiation. The peak incidence was shown 6 hours after irradiation in all the treated groups, and the highest peak incidence was shown in day-15-treated group. The developmental stage of telencephalon of day 15 rat fetuses was comparable to that of day 13 mouse fetuses. Thus, the highest radiosensitivity in terms of acute cell death was shown in the same developmental stage of brain development, i.e., the beginning phase of cerebral cortical histogenesis, in both mice and rats.
