Abstract
We have developed an animal model of learning and memory impairment associated with activation of microglia in the mouse brain. Injection of lipopolysaccharide into the CA1 region of the mouse hippocampus resulted in an increased production of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1β. Immunostaining for interleukin-1β revealed an increase in the signal at 6 hr after lipopolysaccharide injection. Immunopositive cells for interleukin-1β were colocalized with those immunopositive for CD11b. When subacute lipopolysaccharide treatment (20 μg/2 μl/injection, bilaterally for 5 consecutive days) was performed, long-term activation of microglia and learning and memory deficits as evaluated using a step-through passive avoidance test were observed in the wild-type mice. Gene expression of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor NR1 and NR2A subunits was also decreased by the lipopolysaccharide treatment. In contrast, activation of microglia and the associated behavioral deficits were not observed in mice lacking interleukin-1α and -1β following the subacute lipopolysaccharide treatment, together with little change in the gene expression of NR1 and NR2A subunits. However, the subacute lipopolysaccharide treatment produced almost similar changes in those parameters in the tumor necrosis factor-α knockout mice as in the wild-type animals. The injection of interleukin-1β neutralizing antibody with lipopolysaccharide for 5 consecutive days resulted in the improvement of lipopolysaccharide-induced learning and memory deficits. These findings suggest that the expression of interleukin-1 plays an important role in lipopolysaccharide-induced activation of microglia and the associated functional deficits in learning and memory.

Abstract
AIM A chronic decrease in the activation and loading levels of skeletal muscles as occurs with hindlimb unloading (HU) results in a number of detrimental changes. Several proteolytic pathways are involved with an increase in myofibrillar protein degradation associated with HU. Exercise can be used to counter this increase in proteolytic activity and, thus, may be able to protect against some of the detrimental changes associated with chronic decreased use. The purpose of the present study was to determine the potential of a single bout of preconditioning endurance exercise in attenuating the effects of 2 weeks of HU on the mass, phenotype and force-related properties of the soleus muscle in adult rats. METHODS Male Wistar rats were subjected to HU for 2 weeks. One half of the rats performed a single bout of treadmill exercise for 25 min immediately prior to the 2 weeks of HU. RESULTS Soleus mass, maximum tetanic tension, myofibrillar protein content, fatigue resistance and percentage of type I (slow) myosin heavy chain were decreased in HU rats. In addition, markers for the cathepsin, calpain, caspase and ATP-ubiquitin-proteasome proteolytic pathways were increased. The preconditioning endurance exercise bout attenuated all of the detrimental changes associated with HU, and increased HSP72 mRNA expression and protein levels. CONCLUSION These findings indicate that exercise preconditioning may be an effective countermeasure to the detrimental effects of chronic decreases in activation and loading levels on skeletal muscles and that an elevation in HSP72 may be one of the mechanisms associated with these responses.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between aseptic meningitis and anti-U1RNP antibody in patients diagnosed with CTD. METHODS Fourteen patients with aseptic meningitis were selected from among patients with CTDs who had visited our hospital. We analyzed their medical records to clarify the clinical and immunological features of aseptic meningitis. RESULTS A total of 14 patients with aseptic meningitis were subsequently diagnosed as having either SLE (seven cases), MCTD (four), UCTD (one), overlap syndrome (one), or Sjögren's syndrome (one). Eight of the 14 patients had received NSAIDs, such as sulindac, naproxen, or loxoprofen, before the onset of aseptic meningitis. CRP levels were increased (mean +/- SD: 7.1 +/- 7.1 mg/dL) and CRP levels (10.4 +/- 7.7) in the drug-induced group were significantly increased (p < 0.01). The anti-U1RNP antibody was found in 13 of the 14 patients. There were no significant differences in cerebrospinal fluid findings between the drug-induced group and the non-drug-induced group. CONCLUSIONS SLE or MCTD patients with aseptic meningitis tend to have anti-U1RNP antibody.

Abstract
We investigate the transport properties of a biphenyl-dithiol molecule sandwiched between electrodes made of metal Y (Y = Cu, Ag and Au) using the non-equilibrium Green's function method based on a density functional theory. The electrode metal Y has an influence on the coupling between the molecule and electrodes, and thus on the transmission peak height. For the transmission T(Y) at the Fermi energy, we obtain T(Cu)∼T(Ag)<T(Au). As a result, the current value at low bias voltage for the junction system with Ag or Cu electrodes is smaller than that for Y = Au. At high bias voltage, on the other hand, the current value of an Ag electrode system becomes larger than the others due to the higher transmission peak around -1.5 eV below the Fermi energy. Besides this, it is shown that the transmission peak value for all the electrode metals can be expressed generally as a function of a ratio of the coupling between the two phenyl rings to the peak width of the projected density of states with respect to a corresponding molecular orbital.

Abstract
A total of 90 tumors from 85 domestic hamsters (70 Djungarian hamsters and 15 Syrian hamsters) were examined by histology. In the Djungarian hamsters, 64 neoplastic and 11 non-neoplastic lesions were identified, whereas 14 Syrian hamsters showed neoplastic disease, and one showed non-neoplastic disease. The Djungarian hamsters showed a high prevalence of neoplastic disease, similarly to laboratory Djungarian hamsters. In the Djungarian hamsters, almost all tumors were integumental, whereas hematopoietic tumors were the most common type in the Syrian hamsters. The most common integumental tumors in the Djungarian hamsters were mammary tumors, atypical fibromas and papillomas, and a spectrum of integumental tumors that have not been reported in laboratory Djungarian hamsters were identified. Most mammary tumors occurred in the females, whereas all atypical fibromas were observed in the males. In the Syrian hamsters, plasmacytomas and lymphomas were the most common tumors. The small number of Syrian hamsters in this study may reflect the low prevalence of spontaneous tumors seen in laboratory Syrian hamsters. The mean age of the affected hamsters was 19.8 months, which is relatively advanced. To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive study of tumors in domestic hamsters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To survey and elucidate the clinical characteristics of CMV infection in rheumatic disease patients. METHODS A detailed questionnaire survey on CMV infection was carried out against rheumatic disease patients hospitalized in member hospitals, and the obtained clinical and/or laboratory data were analysed. RESULTS Out of 7377 patients, 151 were diagnosed as having CMV infection. The underlying diseases ranged broadly, but SLE, microscopic polyangiitis, and dermatomyositis were the most common. Four were diagnosed histopathologically, and the others via positive CMV antigenaemia. In addition to oral corticosteroid for all but one patient, 81 were treated with pulsed methylprednisolone (MPSL), 64 with cyclophosphamide (CYC) and 36 with other immunosuppressants. Forty-four had a fatal outcome, for which presence of clinical symptoms, other infectious complications, lymphopenia, an older age (>59.3 yrs) and the use of pulsed MPSL were significant risk factors (P < 0.05) by univariate analysis. Multivariate analysis retained the first three (P < 0.05). The CMV antigenaemia count was significantly higher for the symptomatic than asymptomatic [10.1 (0.0-2998.0) vs 4.0 (1.3-1144.4)/10(5) PMNs, respectively, P < 0.05; threshold count: 5.6/10(5) PMNs]. No treatment benefit by anti-viral agent was observed as for survival. CONCLUSION CMV infection was mostly diagnosed by antigenaemia, and occurred among patients under strong immunosuppressive therapy using pulsed MPSL and/or immunosuppressants. Lymphopenia, presence of symptoms and other infections are significant risk factors for a poor outcome and pulsed MPSL and an older age may predict it. Patients were prone to be symptomatic with anti-genaemia count over 5.6/10(5) PMNs.
