Abstract
[11C]Methamphetamine ([11C]MAP) was synthesized by an automated on-line [11C]methylation system for positron emission tomography (PET) study. We newly produced a MAP sensitized dog by repeated MAP treatment and studied the brain distribution of [11C]MAP in the normal and the MAP sensitized dog. The maximal level of accumulation of [11C]MAP in the sensitized dog brain was 1.4 times higher than that in the control. No difference was found in the metabolism of MAP between the two conditions. The significant increase of [11C]MAP in the MAP sensitized brain indicates that subchronic MAP administration causes some functional change in uptake site of MAP.

Abstract
[N-11C-methyl]-cocaine ([11C]cocaine), synthesized by N-methylation of norcocaine with [11C]CH3I, was used to assist in imaging the variety of local distribution by positron emission tomography (PET). The radiochemical yield and the radiochemical purity after purification of [11C]cocaine by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) at a sp. act. of 814 GBq/mmol were 47-58% and > 99%, respectively. The time required for synthesis including the purification was 25-30 min from the end of [11C]CH3I trapping. The physical distribution of [11C]cocaine in organ was also investigated in mice at various time after i.v. injection. The main accumulation of radioactivity occurred in the lung, kidney and brain within 1 min after the injection. In the brain, no differences in the organ were observed except the radioactivity level in each section increased for the first 5 min, since then radioactivity decreased dramatically. Furthermore, in the behavioral sensitization model of cocaine, the peak of [11C]cocaine uptake in each brain area was shown to be 5-15 min.

Abstract
We have established a dermal fibroblast-like stromal cell line, DFB-1, and a clone, 12E2, from epidermal sheets prepared from the skin of BALB/c mouse ears by trypsin digestion. They were suggested to be fibroblasts or myofibroblasts, as 1) they were polygonal or spindle-shaped under the phase-contrast microscope, 2) they did not possess any tonofilaments or desmosomes, and 3) they did not express any marker for bone marrow-derived cells or macrophages. Interestingly, these cells showed a unique phenomenon of "pseudo-emperiporesis," which was first recognized in the interaction between thymic nurse cells and thymocytes. Namely, two T-cell clones and one T-cell hybridoma migrated beneath the cytoplasmic projections of the fibroblast-like cutaneous stromal cells in culture. Furthermore, secretion of interleukin 7 by these cells was confirmed by bioassay using an IL-7-dependent cell line and by inhibition with anti-interleukin 7 antibody, and the expression of interleukin 7 mRNA was also demonstrated in these cells by a combination of reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and Southern blot analysis. These data strongly suggest the presence of unique stromal cells even in the skin, probably at the upper dermis, which can function like the nurse cells in the thymus. These stromal cells may play a crucial role in cutaneous immunophysiology.

Abstract
The ability of Lactobacillus gasseri, a dairy lactic acid bacterium, to induce interferon (IFN) was investigated in murine macrophage cultures. IFN alpha was substantially induced by some strains of L. gasseri and the titers were the highest at a concentration of 100 micrograms ml-1 of L. gasseri DSM20243T. The expression of mRNA encoding IFN alpha was detected in spleen-macrophages (SP-M phi) and Peyer's patch-adherent cells stimulated with L. gasseri DSM20243T. Actinomycin D and cycloheximide added to SP-M phi cultures showed that the mRNA was synthesized by 0.5 h, and that IFN alpha was produced within 3 to 6 h after the stimulation with L. gasseri DSM20243T. The results support the notion that dairy products containing L. gasseri can be 'physiologically functional foods'.

Abstract
Localization of delta 3, delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase (ECI) and NADPH-dependent-2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase (DCR) in the rat kidney was investigated by immunocytochemical techniques. The kidneys were perfusion-fixed and embedded in Epon or LR White. For light microscopy, semi-thin sections of Epon-embedded materials were stained by the immunoenzyme technique after the epoxy resin was removed by treatment with sodium ethoxide. For electron microscopy, ultra-thin sections of LR White-embedded materials were stained by the protein A-gold technique. By light microscopy, the S1 segment of the proximal tubule was most heavily stained for ECI and DCR whilst S2 and S3 segments showed intermediate staining. A weak staining reaction was observed in the distal tubule and the medullary collecting tubule. In the cortical collecting tubule, heavily stained cells were present between weakly stained cells. By electron microscopy, gold particles showing the antigenic sites for ECI were confined mainly to the mitochondria, but few particles were observed in the peroxisomes. Gold labeling for DCR was localized both in the mitochondria and the peroxisomes. The labeling intensity of the peroxisomes was much higher than that of the mitochondria. The results suggest that metabolism of unsaturated fatty acids occurs mainly in the mitochondria and the peroxisomes of the proximal tubule in the kidney.

Abstract
[11C]Methamphetamine, a psychotropic agent, was synthesized by N-methylation of amphetamine with [11C]CH3 I in hopes that it could be applied in the near future to assist positron emission tomography (PET) in the imaging of its distribution in the human brain. The regional distribution of [11C]methamphetamine was investigated in the mice brain at various intervals after an intravenous (i.v.) injection. Radioactivity was higher in the hypothalamus, cortex, striatum and hippocampus. Furthermore, in chronically administered mice, the uptake of [11C]methamphetamine was higher in the striatum than those in other regions. The regional differences in the distribution of methamphetamine in the mice brain may enable the imaging of its distribution by PET using [11C]methamphetamine.

Abstract
We examined the effects of gamma-interferon (gamma-IFN) and the new immunosuppressant FK506 on resting B cell proliferation of New Zealand black/white F1 hybrid (B/W F1) mice, an animal model of human systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). gamma-IFN and FK506 inhibited in a dose-dependent manner both B cell proliferation and autoantibody production of resting B cells respectively. There was a synergistic interaction between gamma-IFN and FK506 in their inhibition and they did not exhibit cell cytotoxicity. This in vitro synergism of gamma-IFN and FK506 may have clinical application in that low doses of gamma-IFN and FK506 combinations may be effective to correct polyclonal B cell activation of patients with SLE.

Abstract
A 1.08 kbp cDNA encoding rat liver mitochondrial delta 3, delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase (ECI) of 298 amino acid residues (Mr 32,895) was isolated from rat liver lambda gt11, lambda gt10 cDNA libraries by the combination of an immunochemical method with a rabbit-antibody against rat liver ECI and a plaque hybridization method. The deduced amino acid sequence from the cDNA indicates that ECI is synthesized with an amino-terminal extrasequence of 35 amino acid residues and processed to the mature enzyme (Mr 29,256).

Abstract
To characterize B cell hyperactivity in autoimmune NZB/NZW (B/W) F1 mice, we studied the effects of murine recombinant interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) on interleukin 4 (IL-4) induced resting B cell growth and differentiation. The number of resting B cells of B/W F1 mice were decreased, with more sensitivity to IL-4 than normal mice. Thus, resting B cell hyperresponsiveness to IL-4 was in a dose-dependent manner suppressed by IFN-gamma. This action was most noticeable when IFN-gamma was added to the culture system simultaneously with IL-4. As well, IFN-gamma did not exhibit cytotoxicity. These results suggest that IFN-gamma may have regulatory effects on IL-4 mediated B cell triggering.

Abstract
The subcellular distribution of delta 3,delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase [EC 5.3.3.8] and the inducing effect of clofibrate, a peroxisomal proliferator, on the enzyme activity were examined in rat liver. From the results of spectrophotometric investigation of the fractions, which were prepared by sucrose discontinuous gradient centrifugation from the light mitochondrial fraction, the isomerase activity was found in the fractions enriched in mitochondria and those enriched in peroxisomes of the control and the clofibrate treated rat livers. The anti-isomerase antibody reacted with both the mitochondrial isomerase and the peroxisomal isomerase, revealing a single band with an apparent molecular weight of 30,000. However, the isomerase was induced by clofibrate administration mainly in the mitochondrial fraction. These results suggest that delta 3,delta 2-enoyl-CoA isomerase is located in the mitochondria and the peroxisomes of the normal rat liver, and that the isomerase in the mitochondria is induced by clofibrate administration.

Abstract
We evaluated the properties of recombinant staphylokinase in comparison with those of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and streptokinase (SK). The presence of fibrin(ogen) fragment FCB-2 in the reaction mixture increased plasminogen activation by staphylokinase more than 20-fold. Such characteristics are similar to those of t-PA. On the other hand, SK was not affected by the presence of FCB-2. The thrombolytic properties of staphylokinase were studied in a system consisting of a radioactive human plasma clot (125I-fibrinogen-labeled) suspended in the circulating citrated plasma. Significant thrombolysis (50% in 3 hours) was obtained with 2 micrograms/mL of staphylokinase and 4.45 micrograms/mL t-PA, as compared with 12 micrograms/mL for SK. The relative molar potency of staphylokinase, calculated from the molecular weight, was about two times more effective than that of SK, but about half of that of t-PA. Systemic fibrinolytic activation and fibrinogen breakdown was not observed with staphylokinase or t-PA, but was observed with SK. The thrombolytic efficiency of staphylokinase, which was calculated as the ratio of the degree of thrombolysis/the degree of fibrinogenolysis, was about five times greater than that of SK, and about half of that of t-PA. These findings suggest that staphylokinase has higher specific thrombolytic properties and lesser fibrinogenolytic properties than those of SK.

Abstract
A case of uterine corpus carcinoma (stage III) after surgical resection of her primary lesion was treated with a medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and PAE (CDDP, adriamycin and etoposide) regimen. The patient has been given MPA during a three-month period and received four courses of PAE regimen. The residual tumor was decreased and removed completely at the second-look operation. Pathologically, the carcinoma cells were clearly changed in loss of atrophy or degeneration by MPA or PAE regimen. After the second-look operation, the patient underwent 4 courses of PAE regimen and was given MPA continuously. We have not recognized any recurrence of carcinoma for seven months after the second look operation.
