Abstract
The effects of cyclodextrin sulphates on the development of rat renal dysfunction induced with gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, were studied. Daily subcutaneous injection of gentamicin (100 mg kg-1, 14 days) developed nephrotoxicity in the rat as assessed by an increase in serum urea nitrogen and histopathological changes in the renal cortex. When cyclodextrin sulphates were given intraperitoneally at 300 mg kg-1 at 6 h intervals after gentamicin administration, they protected the rat against the drug-induced renal impairment, while the parent cyclodextrins were ineffective. Since post-administration of cyclodextrin sulphates did not reduce the total amount of gentamicin accumulated in the kidney, the protection may occur through interference with intracellular events leading from the drug accumulation to nephrotoxicity. These results suggest that cyclodextrin sulphates are particularly effective in preventing renal failure associated with aminoglycoside treatment.

Abstract
The effect of a high-fat meal on the bioavailability of free acid phenytoin (DPH) from Hydantol powder with a large particle size (mean particle size, 190 microns) was investigated in four healthy male subjects. The drug was administered as a single oral 5 mg/kg dose of free acid DPH in the fasting state, with a low-fat meal, or with a high-fat meal using a crossover study design. Seven blood samples were collected over a 34-h period following drug administration, and the drug plasma concentrations were determined by GLC. In comparison with the fasting state results, the mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve up to infinity after administration (AUC0-infinity) and the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of DPH from Hydantol powder significantly increased about 2-fold with the intake of the high-fat meal and about 1.5-fold with the intake of the low-fat meal. The elimination rate constant was not significantly different among the three treatments. The increased bioavailability with the high-fat meal probably resulted from accelerated dissolution of the poorly soluble Hydantol powder due to the stimulation of bile flow or delay of the gastric emptying time caused by the fat intake.

Abstract
Injection of estrogen into male Xenopus laevis induced the appearance of retinals (retinal and 3-dehydroretinal) and a considerable increase in the amount of retinols (retinol and 3-dehydroretinol) in the blood plasma. These retinoids were mainly in the all-trans form. Without estrogen injection, retinols were normally found in the blood plasma of both males and females, but only trace amounts of retinals were detected and these were restricted to the plasma of females. The proteins in the blood plasma of estrogen-injected males were separated into two fractions. One fraction included vitellogenin, the precursor of egg yolk proteins, and the other contained some plasma proteins other than vitellogenin. Retinals were detected in the former and retinols in the latter. It is suggested that retinals are bound to vitellogenin and are taken up into oocytes in the process of vitellogenesis.

Abstract
Intramural rupture of the esophagus developed after short-term nasobiliary catheter placement in an 87-year-old female with choledocholithiasis and suppurative cholangitis. Endoscopy revealed bleeding accompanied by circumferential disruption of the mucosa along the lower third of the esophagus. Withdrawal of the catheter and conservative treatment resulted in recovery of the lesion and relief of symptoms. This rare complication should be kept in mind during the placement of nasobiliary catheter.

Abstract
Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) and its inclusion complexes with beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CyD) and O-carboxymethyl-O-ethyl-beta-cyclodextrin (CME-beta-CyD) were made as topical preparations. The PGE1 preparations, when applied with a penetration enhancer, 1-[2-(decylthio)ethyl]azacyclopentane-2-one (HPE-101), markedly increased the regional blood flow in the ear of rabbits and were longer acting than when administered by the intravenous route. Topical application of the PGE1 preparations significantly protected rabbits against laurate-induced peripheral vascular occlusive sequelae; the protective potency increased in the order of PGE1 alone = beta-CyD complex < CME-beta-CyD complex preparation. The PGE1 preparations elicited skin reactions such as erythema and oedema depending on their vasodilating actions. These reactions disappeared gradually after removal of the preparations, and hence may not be serious obstacles for their safe use. These results suggest that combinations of CME-beta-CyD and HPE-101 work synergistically to facilitate the entry of PGE1 into the skin, and consequently enhance the therapeutic potential of PGE1 in the topical preparation tested.

Abstract
A 32-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with pyrexia and general lymphadenopathy in July 1984. She was diagnosed as having malignant lymphoma (follicular, small cleaved cell), stage IV based on the histological findings of lymph nodes in the neck and bone marrow specimen. She was treated with melphalan orally for 3 years, followed by MACOP-B. She attained partial remission with MACOP-B. Thereafter, she received melphalan or Endoxan orally as maintenance therapy. She developed fever and swelling in the gingivae in October 1989. Peripheral blood showed WBC 80,200/microliters with 7.5% myeloblasts and 85.5% monocytes. Bone marrow aspirate revealed hypercellularity with 47.9% myeloblasts, 46.5% monoblasts and monocytes, which were positive for peroxidase and NSE stains. The karyotype of bone marrow cells showed a 46,XX,t(9;11). The lysozyme in serum was elevated. She was diagnosed having AML (M4). DCMP regimen was initiated but failed to achieve CR. Consequently she received MEC regimen and obtained complete remission, lasting for 6 months. Patients with second leukemia have a low probability of achieving complete remission using conventional chemotherapy. The MEC regimen is thought to be one of the most promising treatments for secondary leukemia.

Abstract
To improve the rectal delivery of ethyl 4-biphenylylacetate (EBA), a prodrug of the anti-inflammatory drug 4-biphenylylacetic acid (BPAA), the use of highly water-soluble 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CyD) and heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (DM-beta-CyD) was investigated and compared with the use of the parent beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CyD). Among the three beta-CyDs, HP-beta-CyD was best at improving the rectal bioavailability of EBA in rats after single and multiple administrations of oleaginous suppositories (Witepsol H-5) containing the complexes. To gain insight into the enhancing effect of beta-CyDs, the absorption behaviors of EBA (observed by monitoring BPAA as an active metabolite of EBA) and beta-CyDs themselves were examined in vitro, in situ, and in vivo. The in situ recirculation study revealed that the complexed form of EBA was less absorbable from the rectal lumen in the solution state, but this disadvantageous effect of beta-CyDs was compensated in part by the inhibition of the bioconversion of EBA to BPAA. When beta-CyDs were coadministered with EBA in vivo, however, rather high amounts of HP-beta-CyD (approximately 26% of dose) and DM-beta-CyD (approximately 21% of dose), compared with beta-CyD (approximately 5% of dose), were absorbed from the rat rectum. Thus, the enhancement of rectal absorption of EBA in vivo can be explained by the facts that the hydrophilic beta-CyDs increased the release rate of EBA from the vehicle and stabilized EBA in the rectal lumen and that the drug was partly absorbed in the form of the complex.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Very recently, contradictory results were presented as to the effects of exogenous nerve growth factor (NGF) on the hippocampal delayed neuronal necrosis following transient ischemia. In the present study, we administered a large amount of NGF with the atelocollagen mini-pellet system, measured the local NGF contents, and evaluated the effect of this neurotrophic factor on the postischemic hippocampal pyramidal cells in gerbils. We concluded that the exogenous NGF, when given continuously at sufficient concentrations, prevents pyramidal cell damage. The possible cause of discrepancy in previous studies is discussed.

Abstract
Hydroxypropyl ethers of cyclodextrins form water-soluble inclusion complexes with lipids. Of the three hydroxypropylcyclodextrins examined, hydroxypropyl-alpha-cyclodextrin had limited specificity for phospholipids, and hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin had limited specificity for cholesterol, and hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrin was nonspecific. The formation of inclusion complexes was found to be a fast and reversible process in which complexation of cholesterol did not inhibit its oxidation by cholesterol oxidase, and cholesterol of the erythrocyte membrane could be exchanged within a minute for cholesteryl methyl ether which was in the inclusion complex. Thus, hydroxypropylcyclodextrin in the circulation may catalyze the transport of lipids in the direction of equilibrium distribution.

Abstract
Hydroxypropyl ethers of cyclodextrins, after parenteral administration, come into contact with lipids in tissues and in circulation and form water-soluble inclusion complexes with these lipids. A single intravenous administration of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin to a hereditary hyperlipidemic Watanabe rabbit slightly and temporarily decreased the level of total cholesterol in serum. Single injections of hydroxypropyl-alpha-cyclodextrin and of the corresponding gamma-homologue, both of which are less potent solubilizers of cholesterol, had lesser effects. Repeated administration of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin to rabbits led to a gradual increase in total cholesterol in circulation and eventually to a slight relief of atherosclerotic lesions in the thoracic aorta. The only untoward effects of repeated treatments (total doses of up to 40 g/kg) were vacuoles in cells of proximal convoluted tubules in the kidneys. Repeated administration also strongly increased cholesterol in urine, probably because of excretion of the soluble cholesterol-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin complex. Proteins in urine increased significantly, whereas triglycerides increased only moderately after repeated administrations. Intravenous infusion of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin into a patient with hypervitaminosis A led to a release of liver-stored retinoids into serum in quantities much higher than those that could be directly solubilized by hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin. Levels of total cholesterol in the circulation of this patient decreased during the infusion. Thus, hydroxypropylcyclodextrins may serve as artificial lipid carriers in the circulation, and because the exchanges that involve inclusion complexation occur very quickly, the presence of hydroxypropylcyclodextrins in organisms may catalytically augment the establishment of equilibria in lipid distribution.

Abstract
Wire-directed detachable balloons were used in embolization treatment of varicoceles in six patients. Advancement of the balloon over a guide wire allowed easy embolization of the internal spermatic vein at the level of the inguinal ring. Additional detachable balloons were used to occlude the collateral vessels to the varicocele. This method proved highly effective in embolization of tortuous veins and in placement of multiple balloons.

Abstract
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) developed in a 64-year-old woman who had undergone hemodialysis treatment due to chronic renal failure (CRF) for 6 yr. Her initial symptom was ataxia, and computed tomographic (CT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) suggested a demyelinating disease of the cerebellum. Her cell-mediated immunity was impaired. At autopsy, the cerebellar disease was confirmed as PML by ultrastructural and immunohistochemical studies. Moreover, the JC type of papova virus infection was verified by Southern blot analysis.

Abstract
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating disease caused by polyomavirus JC (JCV). In the majority of cases of PML the cerebrum is mainly affected (cerebral PML) but on rare occasions lesions are restricted to the cerebellum and brain stem (cerebellar PML). We report a rare cerebellar PML case which occurred in a Japanese patient undergoing prolonged hemodialysis treatment. To understand the molecular basis of the viral tissue tropism, we molecularly cloned JCV DNA and compared it with those of cerebral PML. Of ten clones analyzed nine showed identical fragment patterns after digestion with various restriction endonucleases, and we designated these clones Sap-1. It could be shown that the basic structures of the regulatory regions are similar between Sap-1 and isolates from cerebral PML. Restriction endonuclease mapping analysis was used to examine the genetic relationship between Sap-1 and urine-derived isolates containing the archetypal regulatory sequence. We found that Sap-1 was genetically related to an archetypal JCV isolate in Japan.

Abstract
To improve the rectal delivery of an anti-inflammatory drug, biphenylylacetic acid (BPAA), the use of 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CyD) and heptakis (2,6-di-O-methyl)-beta-cyclodextrin (DM-beta-CyD) was investigated. Inclusion complex formations of BPAA with both beta-CyDs in a molar ratio of 1:1 in water were ascertained, and their stability constants were determined. The dissolution of BPAA in water and the release of BPAA from an oleaginous suppository (Witepsol H-5) were significantly increased by beta-CyDs, depending on the magnitude of the stability constants of the water-soluble complexes. However, the serum levels of BPAA after rectal administration of the suppositories containing BPAA or its beta-CyDs complexes in rats increased in the order of BPAA alone much less than DM-beta-CyD less than or equal to HP-beta-CyD complex. The in situ recirculation study revealed that the greater the stability constant of the complex, the lesser was the absorption of BPAA from the rectal lumen of rats under the solution state. Both in vivo and in situ studies demonstrated that rather high amount of HP-beta-CyD (about 20% of dose) was absorbable from the rat's rectum, compared with DM-beta-CyD (less than 5% of dose), suggesting the possibility of the permeation of BPAA through the rectal membrane in the form of HP-beta-CyD complex. Furthermore, DM-beta-CyD and HP-beta-CyD significantly reduced the irritation of the rectal mucosa caused by BPAA after the administration of the suppositories to rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effects of a unilateral ibotenic acid lesion of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) on blood flow of the cerebral cortex and striatum were studied at 2, 4, 8 and 16 weeks after the lesion in conscious rats. In the cerebral cortex, no side-to-side difference in blood flow was observed, though cholinergic enzyme activity was markedly reduced on the side of the lesion. The results suggest that NBM lesion produces disturbance of cholinergic neurons in the cerebral cortex without significant alteration of blood flow.

Abstract
Alpha- and beta-cyclodextrins and their hydroxypropyl derivatives were converted by the reaction with chlorosulfonic acid in pyridine to the corresponding sulfates. Cyclodextrin sulfates were shown by fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry (negative ion mode, triethanolamine matrix) to be mixtures with nearly symmetrical distributions of degree of substitution by sulfate groups and by powder X-ray diffraction to be amorphous. Thus, in these aspects, cyclodextrin sulfates are similar to the potent drug solubilizers hydroxypropylcyclodextrins.

Abstract
A new silicone detachable balloon has two self-sealing valves. The proximal valve grips the catheter tip, and the distal valve allows a guide wire to pass through. The balloon is advanced over the guide wire. Detachment is performed after the wire is withdrawn. Five balloons were successfully placed in the intended arteries and veins of three dogs. This wire-directed detachable balloon is placed more easily and accurately than the conventional detachable balloons that are placed with the flow-directed method.

Abstract
The presence of a-smooth muscle actin (smA)-positive cells has recently been reported in the fibrotic liver. Lipocytes have been considered to play important roles in hepatic fibrosis. However, the relation of the a-smA-positive cells and lipocytes has not been determined. The biological implication of a-smA expression remains unknown. To study these questions, we carried out double immunofluorescent staining of a-smA and desmin (a marker for lipocytes), or a-smA and collagen, and double immunohistochemical staining of a-smA and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdUrd) in carbon tetrachloride-induced fibrotic rat livers. In normal and control livers, a-smA-positive cells were not seen in the lobules, whereas scattered desmin-positive cells were present. With the development of hepatic fibrosis, a-smA was expressed only in a portion of desmin-positive cells located predominantly around collagen bundles. A number of a-smA-positive cells in the lobules were labelled with BrdUrd. These results suggest phenotypic modulation in lipocytes and differentiation of lipocytes towards myofibroblast-like cells, since a-smA is expressed with desmin in myofibroblasts in scar tissue. The expression of a-smA may be related to events of the fibrotic process, such as tissue contraction or fibrogenesis per se.

Abstract
We evaluated the effectiveness of different treatments of Japanese bedquilt (futon) in reducing mite allergens: vacuum-cleaning, beating plus vacuum-cleaning and washing of the whole futon in water. Before and after these treatments, small amounts of cotton were taken out of the futon and mite allergens were extracted from the cotton into water. The absolute contents of two kinds of major allergens of two Dermatophagoides species were immunochemically quantitated. We found that beating and vacuum-cleaning reduced the allergen contents by only about 40%, whereas washing reduced the allergens by more than 90%. Therefore, for reducing airborne mite allergens generated from futon, we think that washing the whole futon in water is the most effective method.
