Abstract
Twenty-nine patients with ovarian malignant tumor were studied by means of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. The findings were compared with surgical findings concerning tumor invasion to the bladder and to the uterus. The bladder invasion was evaluated with MRI and classified as follows: (1) Huge amount of fat, colon or small intestine between the tumor and the bladder. (2) Thin fat layer between the bladder and the tumor, (3) No fat layer, and the bladder was smoothly compressed by the tumor, (4) No fat layer with local deformity of the bladder caused by the tumor existed, or tumor protruded into the bladder. In group (4), 4 of 5 cases were proved to have bladder invasion. However in group (3), half of the 14 cases showed bladder invasion and the others showed no invasion. Criteria used in MRI analysis of uterine invasion was as follows: (1) Fat layer between the uterus and the tumor, (2) Fat layer between the tumor and the bladder, and the uterine contour was indistinct, (3) No fat layer and deformity of the uterus was apparent. In group (3), many cases showed uterine invasion, but 4 cases out of 12 cases did not. In the group (2), 3 out of 11 cases showed uterine invasion. The diagnostic ability of uterine invasion was not as accurate as in cases of the bladder invasion. The MRI sagittal plane can directly show the relationship between the uterus, the bladder and tumor, so that diagnosis of tumor invasion by MRI is superior to CT. However MRI could not differentiate between adhesion and invasion.

Abstract
The effect of salazosulfapyridine (SASP) on the antibody response of murine spleen cells in vitro was studied. SASP inhibited the response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC), a T-cell-dependent (TD) antigen, dose-dependently and was most effective at a dose of 2 x 10(-4) M without cell toxicity. No remarkable inhibition was seen with the main metabolites of SASP, 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) and sulfapyridine (SP). SASP failed to inhibit antibody production to T-cell-independent antigens such as dinitrophenyl-Ficoll or trinitrophenyl (TNP)-lipopolysaccharides, although the response to TNP-keyhole limpet hemocyanin, another TD antigen like SRBC, was inhibited. Further, this drug did not show any depression of the anti-SRBC plaque-forming cell (PFC) response in spleen cells treated with anti-Thy1.2 antibody plus complement. The inhibition of anti-SRBC PFC response by SASP was accompanied by a reduction of interleukin 2 (IL-2) secretion. Our results suggest that SASP may act on T cell populations and may inhibit the T-cell-dependent antibody response partly through a depression of IL-2 production. The active compound appears to be SASP itself, rather than its metabolites.

Abstract
A simple and highly sensitive method for the determination of beta-phenylethylamine in human plasma is investigated. The method employs high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. beta-Phenylethylamine and p-methylbenzylamine (internal standard) in human plasma are isolated by cation-exchange chromatography on a Toyopak SP cartridge and then converted into the corresponding fluorescent derivatives with 3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-4-methyl-3-oxoquinoxaline-2-carbonyl chloride, a fluorescence derivatization reagent for amines. The derivatives are separated within 30 min on a reversed-phase column, TSK gel ODS-120T, with isocratic elution, and detected fluorometrically. The detection limit of beta-phenylethylamine is 0.3 pmol/ml in plasma (S/N = 3).

Abstract
A simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method with fluorescence detection for the determination of nineteen 21-hydroxycorticosteroids is described. The corticosteroids are oxidized by cupric acetate to form the corresponding glyoxal derivatives. The derivatives are converted into fluorescent quinoxalines by reaction with 1,2-diamino-4,5-methylenedioxybenzene, a fluorogenic reagent for alpha-dicarbonyl compounds. The quinoxalines are separated within 70 min on a reversed-phase column (TSK gel ODS-120T) by stepwise elution with mixtures of methanol, acetonitrile, and 1.0 M ammonium acetate. The detection limits are 0.14-29.4 pmol at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 in a 50-microliter injection volume. This sensitivity permits precise determination of hydrocortisone, cortisone, corticosterone, and their tetrahydro derivatives in 500 microliters of normal human urine.

Abstract
Twenty-three patients previously diagnosed as having ovarian cancer were examined with both serum tumor markers (CA 125, CA 19-9, TPA, IAP, AFP) and a pelvic CT scan. The tumor markers predict the clinical outcome more accurately than the CT scan. Further, the tumor markers showed a clear correlation with the clinical course. But in one case, however, the tumor markers were seen to reduce below the normal level from chemotherapy, while the CT scan showed a tumor mass. Thus, both, a CT scan and tumor marker assays are felt to be indispensable for detecting the recurrence of an ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Three-dimensional reconstruction from N-isopropyl-p-[123I]iodoamphetamine (IMP) tomography has been applied clinically to the detection of perfusion defects in 22 cases (15 cerebrovascular diseases and 7 normal controls confirmed by CT and MRI), with data being analyzed in terms of receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC). The results showed that three-dimensional (3-D) image could make better diagnostic capability especially in inexperienced examiner and that it was useful decreasing of difference of diagnostic capability. 3-D image could be taken within 1 minute and 15 seconds. We concluded that the three-dimensional brain imaging with IMP using this system was clinically useful because examiner could easily diagnose perfusion defects.

Abstract
This investigation determined the relative importance of collagen fiber orientation, porosity, density, and mineralization in determining the tensile strength of bovine cortical bone. Thirty-nine specimens were tested for failure stress and the values of eight histologic and compositional parameters: collagen fiber orientation, wet and dry apparent density, percent mineralization of the bone matrix, and several components of porosity (Haversian canals, Volkmann's canals, and plexiform vascular spaces). Linear regression analysis showed that collagen fiber orientation was consistently the single best predictor of strength. Mineralization of the bone matrix was generally a poor predictor of strength. Density and porosity ranked between these variables in importance. Multiple regression equations containing all significantly correlated variables achieved correlation coefficients of 0.607 for plexiform bone and 0.881 for osteonal bone. Also, separate analysis of plexiform and osteonal specimens showed that the latter group was weaker even though it was less porous, apparently because it had collagen fibers which were less longitudinally oriented. This study suggests it is feasible to develop better empirical formulae for the prediction of cortical bone strength than are currently available if a variety of variables is introduced. Additional data are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
A simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of three oestrogens (oestriol, oestrone and oestradiol) in pregnancy urine. Free oestrogens are extracted with chloroform from the urine sample. The phenolic group of each oestrogen in chloroform is formylated in the presence of an alkaline aqueous solution, and the resulting aldehyde is converted into a fluorescent derivative by reaction with 1,2-diamino-4,5-dimethoxybenzene. In order to determine free and conjugated oestrogens, conjugated oestrogens are hydrolysed by heating in hydrochloric acid before the extraction and then treated in the same way as free oestrogens. The fluorescent derivatives are separated on a reversed-phase column, TSKgel ODS-120T, with stepwise gradient elution using an aqueous methanol-containing phosphate buffer (pH 2.2). The lower limit of detection for each oestrogen is ca. 200 fmol per 100-microliters injection volume.

Abstract
Fluorimetrically reactive leucine-enkephalin, one of the opioid peptides in rat brain tissues such as the striatum, cortex and hypothalamus, was assayed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection based on pre-column derivatization of the tyrosyl residue. The tyrosine-containing peptides extracted from the tissue were first formylated with chloroform in an alkaline medium, and the resulting aldehydes were then converted into highly fluorescent derivatives by reaction with 1,2-diamino-4,5-dimethoxybenzene. The derivative of leucine-enkephalin-like peptide in tissue was separated from various other fluorescent compounds on a reversed-phase column (TSK gel ODS-120T) by isocratic elution and detected by fluorimetry. The concentrations of the leucine-enkephalin-like peptide in the tissues were 20-245 pmol/g. The method is sensitive enough to permit the quantitative determination of the endogenous peptide at concentrations as low as 5.6 pmol/g in brain tissues.

Abstract
Tyrosine-specific protein kinase activity of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor, pp60v-src and pp110gag-fes was inhibited in vitro by an isoflavone genistein. The inhibition was competitive with respect to ATP and noncompetitive to a phosphate acceptor, histone H2B. By contrast, genistein scarcely inhibited the enzyme activities of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases such as cAMP-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, and the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzyme protein kinase C. When the effect of genistein on the phosphorylation of the EGF receptor was examined in cultured A431 cells, EGF-stimulated serine, threonine, and tyrosine phosphorylation was decreased. Phosphoamino acid analysis of total cell proteins revealed that genistein inhibited the EGF-stimulated increase in phosphotyrosine level in A431 cells.

Abstract
We have investigated actions of purified protein kinase C on microtubule- and microfilament-related proteins. Among the cytoskeletal proteins examined, microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) was found to serve as a good substrate. Other cytoskeletal proteins, tubulin, fodrin, cofilin, tropomyosin, and 53,000-Da protein, were very poorly phosphorylated. The amino acid residues of MAP2 that were phosphorylated by the protein kinase C were almost exclusively serine. The peptide mapping analysis indicated that protein kinase C and cAMP-dependent protein kinase phosphorylate MAP2 differently. The ability of MAP2 to interact with actin was markedly reduced by this protein kinase C-mediated phosphorylation. These data raise the possibility that phosphorylation of MAP2 by activated protein kinase C may be involved in cell-surface signal transduction.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the determination of leupeptin, a possible therapeutic drug for muscular dystrophy, in mouse serum and muscle. Leupeptin is reduced with sodium borohydride to leupeptinol, and then converted to a fluorescent derivative with benzoin. The derivative is separated on a reversed-phase column (LiChrosorb RP-18) with isocratic elution and determined with fluorescence detection. The detection limits of leupeptin in serum and muscle are 250 pmol/ml (107 ng/ml) and 500 pmol/g (214 ng/g), respectively, corresponding to approximately 150 fmol each in a 100-microliters injection volume. This method is simple and sensitive enough to permit the quantification of leupeptin in biological samples from mice dosed with leupeptin.

Abstract
A simple method for the determination of bestatin and its major metabolite in man, p-hydroxybestatin, in human serum was investigated; the method employs high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Bestatin and p-hydroxybestatin are oxidized to phenylacetaldehyde and p-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, respectively, with periodate, which are then converted into fluorescent compounds with 4,5-dimethoxy-1,2-diaminobenzene. The compounds are separated by reversed-phase chromatography on LiChrosorb RP-18. The detection limits of bestatin and p-hydroxybestatin are 0.2 and 0.4 microgram/ml serum, respectively. This method permits the precise determination of bestatin in serum (20 microliter) from patients administered bestatin. p-Hydroxybestatin in serum can not be measured by this method because of its low concentration (less than the detection limit).

Abstract
A new antifungal antibiotic named histidinomycin was isolated from the broth filtrate of a streptomycete, tentatively designated as isolate H 878-MY 1. Histidinomycin was purified as the monohydrochloride and the molecular formula was proposed to be C22H30N8O11.HCl. The antibiotic gave histidine by acid hydrolysis. Histidinomycin showed rather narrow antimicrobial spectrum for only few genera of phytophathogenic fungi.
