Abstract
ANP model in rats was used to determine the concentration of TXB2, PGF1 alpha in plasma and the ACE activity in serum in five groups. The concentration of TXB2, PGF1 alpha in all experimental groups was significantly different from that of control group (P < 0.05). The comparison of ACE activity was just the same as the above except that of 6 h. The factors leading to pancreatic ischemia functioned continously. We conclude that pancreatic ischemia is a continuous injury factor in ANP, and there is no reperfusion-injury in the course of the disease.

Abstract
We studied the effect of incubating murine lymphocytes with cis-unsaturated fatty acids on expression and capping of CD44 and CD45. Lymphocytes were incubated with stearic (18:0) or oleic (18:1 omega-9) acid bound to bovine serum albumin (BSA). After incubation with rat anti-CD44 or anti-CD45 monoclonal antibodies and then with fluorescent-labeled anti-rat antibody, mean fluorescence intensity (FI) was measured by using flow cytometry. Capping was measured after warning and fixation in paraformaldehyde. Steady-state fluorescence anisotropy (rs) was measured after the cells had been incubated with trimethylammoniumdiphenylhexatriene. Incubation with oleic acid, but not stearic acid or BSA alone, was associated with an increase in FI of CD44. Expression of CD45, however, was increased by both stearic and oleic acids to the same degree over BSA controls. CD44 and CD45 capping were both increased by incubation with oleic acid. Rs was decreased in cells incubated with oleic acid, suggesting an increase in membrane fluidity. We conclude that incubation with oleic acid increases expression of CD44 and increases capping of both CD44 and CD45. These findings were confirmed in feeding experiments, in which rs was reduced and CD44 capping increased by polyunsaturated fatty acid diets.

Abstract
The leukocyte CD44 and CD45 cell surface receptors are associated via the linker proteins ankyrin and fodrin with the cytoskeleton, which itself is important in immune cell functions such as adherence, chemotaxis, and phagocytosis. The effects of rat antihuman CD44 and CD45 monoclonal antibodies on phagocytosis of fluoresceinated heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus 502A by normal human neutrophils (PMNs) during 2 hr incubation in RPMI-1640 was studied via flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Flow cytometry was performed using an excitation wavelength of 488 nm, fluorescence being measured at 515-560 nm on 50,000 PMNs per sample. Confocal microscopy was performed on samples after further incubation with rhodamine-conjugated antiankyrin. Anti-CD44 resulted in an increase of 27-31% compared to control (P = 0.004) in the proportion of PMNs fluorescing, an increase of 17-24% (P = 0.001) in mean intracellular fluorescence per PMN, and an increase in total PMN fluorescence of 50-58% compared to control (P < 0.001). In contrast, anti-CD45 had little effect on phagocytosis. Colchicine (a microtubule-disrupting agent) enhanced, whereas cytochalasin-D (a microfilament inhibitor) inhibited bacterial phagocytosis; cytochalasin-D completely abrogated the effect of anti-CD44 on this PMN function. Hyaluronic acid augmented phagocytosis by an increment similar to that observed with anti-CD44. Two-color flow cytometry and confocal microscopy demonstrated that ankyrin always colocalized with ingested fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled bacteria. These data strongly suggest that CD44 is involved in bacterial phagocytosis, provide further evidence of CD44 receptor linkage to cytoskeletal elements in human leukocytes, and suggest that ankyrin has a significant role in the transport of phagosomes.

Abstract
That L-arginine (L-Arg) augments the host response to acute bacterial sepsis suggests that this amino acid intervenes early in the immune response, perhaps via the nitric oxide synthetase (NOS) pathway. The effect of L-Arg supplementation on in vitro phagocytosis of fluorescein-labeled, heat-killed Staphylococcus aureus by peripheral blood neutrophils (PMNs) from 12 normal human volunteers was studied. Separated PMNs were incubated for 2 h with labeled bacteria, with and without supplemental L-Arg, D-arginine, glycine, and/or the NOS inhibitors L-canavanine, aminoguanidine, or L-NG-nitroarginine methyl ester. PMNs were fixed and extracellular fluorescence quenched with crystal violet. By flow cytometry and confocal microscopy, L-Arg supplementation was shown to result in a highly significant increase in PMN bacterial phagocytosis, the maximal effect being seen with L-Arg 380 microM and falling off with higher concentrations. This augmentation was completely abrogated by NOS inhibitors in molar excess, but inhibitors alone did not suppress phagocytosis below that of unsupplemented controls. Neither D-arginine nor glycine affected phagocytosis; the L-Arg effect was stereospecific and not related to utilization of L-Arg as an energy source. L-Arg supplementation significantly enhances bacterial phagocytosis in human neutrophils, perhaps by effects on cytoskeletal phenomena, and this appears to be mediated through NOS activity. Phagocytosis by nonspecific immune cells which intervene early in the response to sepsis is critically important, and beneficial effects of L-Arg on the clinical course of sepsis may be due at least in part to augmentation of phagocyte function.

Abstract
Zinc and germanium concentrations in serum, liver and muscle of mice, T-lymphocyte subgroup proportion, serum superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malonodialdehyde (MDA) were determined to study whether there exist synergism or antagonism between zinc and germanium. Results showed there existed, to certain extent, competitive effects of serum zinc and germanium in mice. When concentration of serum zinc increased, that of germanium decreased, or vise versa. There existed certain relationship between zinc and germanium concentrations in serum and those in muscle and liver of mice, and between those and CD3 count and SOD activity. Immune function in mice was influenced and their T-lymphocyte subgroup proportion changed with changes in serum zinc and germanium concentrations. With increased germanium and decreased zinc serum concentrations, CD3 and CD1 counts decreased, CD8 count unchanged, and the ratio of CD1 to CD3 decreased, which showed certain antagonist effects of them as they operated together. But, no antagonism was observed in their anti-oxidant effects, SOD activity increased to varied extent, and the level of MDA decreased.

Abstract
Balb/c mice were fed semipurified diets containing 40% of total calories as lipids: olive, safflower, or fish oil. After 2 weeks of feeding, splenic mononuclear cells were isolated and assayed for steady-state fluorescence anisotropy by means of the probe diphenylhexatriene. Splenocytes were also incubated with the mitogens concanavalin A, phytohemagglutinin, or lipopolysaccharide; subsequent uptake of tritiated thymidine was measured as an index of proliferation. No differences were observed in the membrane anisotropy and mitogenesis of mice fed the olive oil diet (high in monounsaturated fatty acids) and the control group. However, membrane anisotropy was significantly lowered in mice fed the safflower or fish oil diets (high in polyunsaturated fatty acids), and the mitogenic response to lipopolysaccharide was suppressed. Mitogenic responses to concanavalin A and phytohemagglutinin were not significantly affected by the type of lipid in the diet.

Abstract
Using gas chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography (HILC), we examined free fatty acid and lecithin molecular species in gallbladder biles from patients with cholesterol gallstones. Effect of free fatty acids on cholesterol nucleation in model bile was studied by a sensitive cholesterol crystal growth assay. Compared to bile of controls, biles from patients with gallstones had higher total free fatty acid level, more palmitic acid, more stearic acid, more linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. The lecithin pattern was similar in all. After free fatty acids were added to model bile, palmitic acid, oleic, acid, linoleic acid and arachidonic acid had significant effect of pro-nucleating, free fatty acids on non-protein pro-nucleating factor. These data suggest that variations in quantitation and composition of free fatty acids are importanct in the pathogenesis of cholesterol gallstone formation.

Abstract
RFLP marker data from an F2∶3 population derived from a cross between a sugary1 (su1) and a sugary enhancer1 (su1, sel) inbred were used to construct a genetic linkage map of maize. This map includes 93 segregating marker loci distributed throughout the maize genome, providing a saturated linkage map that is suitable for linkage analysis with quantitative trait loci (QTL). This population, which has been immortalized in the form of sibbed F2∶3 families, was derived from each of the 214 F2 plants and along with probe data are available to the scientific community. QTL analysis for kernel sucrose (the primary form of sugar) concentration at 20 days after pollination (DAP) uncovered the segregation of seven major QTL influencing sucrose concentration; a locus linked to umc36a described the greatest proportion of the variation (24.7%). Since maltose concentration has previously been reported to be associated with the se1 phenotype, an analysis of probe associations with maltose concentration at 40 DAP was also conducted. The highly significant association of umc36a with maltose and sucrose concentrations provided evidence that this probe is linked to se1. Phenotypic evaluation for the se1 genotype in each F2∶3 family enabled us to map the gene 12.1 cM distal to umc36a. In contrast to previous work where se1 was reported to be located on chromosome four, our data strongly suggest that the sugary enhancer1 locus maps on the the distal portion of the long arm of chromosome 2 in the maize genome.

Abstract
We studied the effect of free fatty acids on cholesterol nucleation in model bile with a sensitive cholesterol crystal growth assay. Palmitic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and arachidonic acid were added to model biles in increasing concentrations from 0.5 to 20 umol/ml. The nucleation time of model bile with free fatty acids decreased to 30%-50% of control bile. The final crystal concentration increased with higher concentrations of palmitic acid. However, we found a decrease in the final crystal concentration with the unsaturated fatty acid-soleic acid, linoleic acid and arachidonic acid. The increase in the maximum crystal growth rate was marked in the model biles as linoleic acid was added. These findings show the effect of non-protein fraction in biles on gallstone formation and support the view that free fatty acids are pro-nucleating factors.

Abstract
Heart rate power spectral analysis in 44 patients with coronary artery disease was obtained from 24-hour dynamic electrocardiogram. 195 episodes of transient myocardial ischemia that was defined as horizontal or down sloping depression of the ST segment of > or = 0.1 mV and lasted for > or = 2 minutes were studied. The area of low frequency components (LF, 0.02-0.10 Hz) representing predominontly sympathetic tone with some contribution from the parasympathetic tone and that of high frequency components (HF, 0.15-0.40 Hz) representing mainly parasympathetic tone and the value of LF/HF on 4 minute heart rate power spectral graph at the deepest depression of ST segment were compared with that before the episode of myocardial ischemia. The area of HF of fast rate myocardial ischemia occurring in night reduces significantly (P < 0.001), the value of LF/HF increases markedly (P < 0.05) and the area of LF increases slightly. The results suggest that there is a change of autonomic nervous activity during the episode of fast rate myocardial ischemia in night, parasympathetic nervous tone decreases markedly, there may be secondary increase of sympathetic nervous activity.

Abstract
On the basis of oral cholecystography (OCG), we selected gallstone patients for nontoperative intervention. Their gallbladder function was considered as normal when gallbladder contracted over 50%-75% after a fat meal at 1 hour. We collected 99 gallstone patients and 19 normal controls; gallbladder function was normal in 77 patients and poor in 22. After a fat meal gallbladder volumes were calculated by B ultrasonography. The results showed that both fasting and residual volume in patients with so-called normal contraction were significantly greater than that in the controls (P < 0.001), though the contraction rate was not different. The combination of gallbladder contraction rate measurement and residual volume calculation by ultrasonography was superior over traditional OCG.
