Abstract
Recent genetic linkage studies have implicated a gene on chromosome 14 in the pathogenesis of FAD. The identity of this gene remains unknown but it has been speculated that it may be involved in the cellular processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). We have analyzed the nucleotide sequence of the entire open reading frame of the cathepsin G gene located on chromosome 14q. No mutations were observed, suggesting that defects in this lysosomal protease are not responsible for aberrant accumulation of proteolytic products of APP in FAD brain tissue.

Abstract
Calcitonin gene-related polypeptide (CGRP) was purified from ovine hypothalamic extracts. Its amino acid sequence was determined as: Ser-(Cys)-Asn-Thr-Ala-Thr-(Cys)-Val-Thr-His-Arg-Leu-Ala-Gly-Leu-Leu-Ser- Arg-Ser - Gly-Gly-Val-Val-Lys-Ser-Asn-Phe-Val-Pro-Thr-Asn-Val-Gly-Ser-Gln-Ala-Phe- NH2. This sequence differs from rat CGRP by two amino acid substitutions (Ser for Asp25 and Gln for Glu35). Adenylate cyclase stimulating activity in rat pituitary cell cultures was monitored during the isolation. CGRP had adenylate cyclase stimulating activity comparable to corticotropin-releasing hormone, suggesting a hypophysiotropic role for CGRP. This is the first chemical characterization of CGRP in the brain (hypothalamus).

Abstract
Homologous recombination between transferred and chromosomal DNA can be used for mapping mutations by marker rescue, i.e., by identifying which segment of wild-type DNA can recombine with the mutant chromosomal gene and restore normal function. In order to define how much the fragments should overlap each other for reliable mapping, we have measured how the frequency of marker rescue is affected by the position of the chromosomal mutation relative to the ends of the transferred DNA fragments. For this purpose, we used several DNA fragments to effect marker rescue in two mutant hybridomas which bear mutations 673 bp apart in the exons encoding the second and third constant region domains of the immunoglobulin mu heavy chain. The frequency of marker rescue decreased greatly when the mutation was located near one of the ends of the fragments, the results indicating that fragments should be designed to overlap by at least several hundred base pairs. Possible explanations for this "end effect" are considered.

Abstract
Two forms of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptides with 38 (PACAP38) and 27 residues (PACAP27) respectively were recently isolated from ovine hypothalamic tissues. The N-terminal 28 amino acids sequence of PACAP was found to have 68% homology with porcine vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). In order to determine whether the primary structure of VIP of ovine hypothalamus is identical with porcine VIP or similar to PACAP, VIP immunoreactivity as determined by radioimmunoassay for porcine VIP was isolated in a pure form from ovine hypothalamic extracts. VIP was also isolated from ovine intestine. Amino acid analysis as well as amino acid sequence analysis showed that ovine hypothalamic and intestinal VIP were identical to porcine VIP, but different from PACAP.

Abstract
There were 79 cases of cardiac tumors seen from 1957 to July 1988. 49 (62.0%) of them were benign and 30 (38.0%) malignant. All the 49 benign tumors except 2 were surgically excised and found to be myxoma. Of them, 18 patients were male and 31 female. 85.7% of the tumors were located in the left atrium, 12.2% in the right atrium and 2.0% in the left ventricle. Palpitation, dyspnea, chest oppression, fever, episodes of syncope and hemiplegia, cough, diastolic and systolic murmurs at the apical or tricuspid area were the common symptoms and signs. Atrial fibrillation was found only in 2 cases. Echocardiographic findings were diagnostic while ECG and X-ray findings were nonspecific. Four patients died after operation. Of the 30 cases of malignant tumors, 15 were secondary tumors metastasized mainly from the lung or mediastinal malignancies. Of 11 primary tumor cases (7 males and 4 females), 3 were malignant lymphoma, 2 mesothelioma of pericardium, 2 malignant myxoma, 1 angiosarcoma, 1 leiomyosarcoma, 1 fibrosarcoma and 1 rhabdomyosarcoma. Another 4 cases were not studied histopathologically. The clinical manifestations, ECG and X-ray findings of the 11 primary tumors were nonspecific but echocardiography was helpful to the diagnosis. Six patients were operated on and 1 died during hospitalization.

Abstract
To assess the value of intraoperative transesophageal echocardiographical Doppler color flow imaging (TEE-DCFI) during cardiac valvular surgery, 85 consecutive patients with 102 diseased valves for surgery were studied with pre-and post-operative TEE-DCFI. There were 34 women and 51 men with an age range of 15 to 55 years (mean age, 34.91 +/- 9.33 years). The etiology of valve lesion was rheumatic in 57 (AV 10, MV 47), prolapse in 9 (AV 2, MV 7), endocarditis in 21 (AV 12, MV 3, PV 2, prosthetic infection 4), prosthetic dysfunction in 14 (AV 5, MV 9), congenital in 1 (TV). Preoperative TEE-DCFI findings were helpful either in completing with some new information or changing the operation plan in 29 valves (28.43%) including abscess at aortic root in 1, perforation of aortic valve in 2, perforation of mitral valve leaflets in 5 patients with aortic valvular endocarditis, regurgitation or perivalvular leak of prosthetic valve in 4 MVs and 4AVs, left atrial thrombus detected in 8 and excluded in 3 patients with MV disease, small calcified vegetation on PV with normal valve function in 2 patients with congenital heart disease. Postoperative TEE-DCFI evaluation was performed in 53 patients with 70 diseased valves. There was only one mild regurgitation of mitral bioprosthesis and one mild perivalvular leak of aortic prosthesis detected among 40 replaced prosthetic valves. Of 30 valves repaired 23 (77%) valves had trivial or mild residual regurgitation (Group A) and 7 (23%) had moderate residual regurgitation (Group B). Postoperative congestive heart failure was seen in 6 (26.09%) of Group A and 5 (71.43%) of Group B (P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
A novel neuropeptide with 38 residues (PACAP38) was isolated from ovine hypothalamic tissues using the pituitary adenylate cyclase activation in rat pituitary cell cultures as a parameter of the biological activity (Miyata et al, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 164, 567-574, 1989). From the side fractions obtained during the purification of PACAP38, a shorter form peptide with 27 residues corresponding to the N-terminal 27 amino acids of PACAP38 and amidated C-terminus was isolated and named as PACAP27. Synthetic PACAP27 showed a biological activity of adenylate cyclase stimulation comparable to PACAP38. Moreover PACAP27 which shows a considerable homology with vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) demonstrated a similar vasodepressor activity as VIP, but the adenylate cyclase stimulating activity was about 1000 times greater than VIP.

Abstract
A novel neuropeptide which remarkably stimulates adenylate cyclase in rat anterior pituitary cell cultures has been recently isolated from ovine hypothalami by A. Arimura and his collaborators (Biochem.Biophys.Res.Commun.164, 567-574(1989)). This peptide was designated as PACAP38(Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase Activating Polypeptide with 38 residues). In an attempt to investigate physiological implications of PACAP38, we have succeeded in cloning the cDNAs encoding the precursor of PACAP38 from ovine hypothalamus and human testis. An ovine cDNA encodes a protein of 176 amino acids in which PACAP38 is proceeded by a putative signal peptide and a "pro"-region (107 amino acids), and followed by a Gly-Arg-Arg sequence for proteolytic processing and amidation. Deduced amino-acid sequence of human PACAP38 was completely identical to that of the ovine isolated peptide. Cloning of PACAP38 cDNAs confirms the expression of the corresponding mRNAs and the presence of this neuropeptide in ovine hypothalamus and also in human testis.

Abstract
Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) was assessed with simultaneous continuous wave Doppler echocardiography (CW) and cardiac catheterization (CATH) in 33 cases. There was a close correlation between CW-estimated peak pressure gradient of tricuspid regurgitation (TRPGp) and CATH-measured PASP (r = 0.96, P less than 0.0001). Excellent correlation (r = 0.96, P less than 0.0001) between CW-estimated PASP and CATH-measured PASP was also obtained. The derived regression equation was PASP = TRPGp + 1.33 kPa. When the patients had relative or pathologic pulmonic stenosis, the regression equation was corrected by pulmonary artery pressure gradient (PAPG). The regression equation became PASP = TRPGp + 1.33-PAPG.

Abstract
A novel neuropeptide which stimulates adenylate cyclase in rat anterior pituitary cell cultures was isolated from ovine hypothalamic tissues. Its amino acid sequence was revealed as: His-Ser-Asp-Gly-Ile-Phe-Thr-Asp-Ser-Tyr-Ser-Arg-Tyr-Arg-Lys-Gln- Met-Ala- Val-Lys-Lys-Tyr-Leu-Ala-Ala-Val-Leu-Gly-Lys-Arg-Tyr-Lys-Gln-Arg-Val-Lys-Asn-Lys - NH2. The N-terminal sequence shows 68% homology with vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP) but its adenylate cyclase stimulating activity was at least 1000 times greater than that of VIP. It increased release of growth hormone (GH), prolactin (PRL), corticotropin (ACTH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from superfused rat pituitary cells at as small a dose as 10(-10)M (GH, PRL, ACTH) or 10(-9)M (LH). Whether these hypophysiotropic effects are the primary actions of the peptide or what physiological action in the pituitary is linked with the stimulation of adenylate cyclase by this peptide remains to be determined.

Abstract
Continuous wave Doppler echocardiographic study was performed almost simultaneously with right heart catheterization in 24 patients with a variety of cardiovascular disorders and evidence of pulmonary regurgitation detected by pulsed wave Doppler. Their pulmonary arterial diastolic and mean pressure (PADP and PAMP) measured during catheterization were ranging from 5 to 70.6 (mean 30.26 +/- 18) mmHg and from 6.7 to 91.14 (mean 42.41 +/- 23.23) mmHg, respectively. The right ventricular end-diastolic pressure was within normal limit in all but one. The peak, mean and end-diastolic pressure gradients of pulmonary regurgitation (PPRPG, MPRPG and PRPGed) were calculated using simplified Bernoulli Equation and their correlations with PADP and PAMP were analysed using linear regression method. There were close correlations between all PRPGs and PADP or PAMP (r = 0.85 - 0.94, P less than 0.0001). The best equation for assessing PADP was MPRPG + 6 mmHg (r = 0.94, P less than 0.0001), for PAMP was PPRPG + 8 mmHg (r = 0.92, P less than 0.0001). It is evident that those constants in the equations should be adjusted in individual patient who has coexisting right heart failure.

Abstract
Twelve subjects sensitive to nickel underwent patch testing with serial dilutions of nickel sulfate in petrolatum and in water. The provocation threshold (the lowest amount of nickel producing a reaction) varied from 5.2 mg (2.5%) to 0.47 microgram (0.01%) when tested in petrolatum. The provocation threshold was higher with aqueous solutions. The lowest provocation threshold in a statistically significant number of individuals was 1.5 micrograms. Nickel bioavailability from dermatitis-inducing earrings and a necklace was determined by immersing them in plasma, normal saline solution, and synthetic sweat at different pH values over 7 days. Nickel leaching under these conditions exceeded the provocation threshold 1.4- to 93-fold, depending on object and solution. The time course varied with solution. After leaching, surface nickel was measured by the action of dilute nitric acid and total nickel was determined by complete dissolution in aqua regia. Nickel was more bioavailable from earrings than from the necklace, presumably reflecting different metallurgy. Plasma was the most effective solution for removing available nickel from earrings, a possible explanation for the frequent induction of sensitization by ear piercing. Comparison of provocation threshold and leaching results may help determine risks from consumer products.
