Abstract
Introduction Recent studies suggest that online repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can induce local entrainment of ongoing endogenous oscillatory activity that impacts cognitive performance, and the effect may depend on the function of the oscillation. However, little is known about the effects of task-specific frequencies, especially when using an online rTMS paradigm. Our previous electroencephalogram (EEG) study showed that the frontal theta rhythm is associated with the cognitive giving-up processes during problem-solving tasks. Objectives In this study, we combined online rTMS and EEG to examine the frequency-dependent stimulation effects of rTMS on the performance of problem-solving tasks and ongoing oscillations. We hypothesized that rTMS at the theta frequency would induce ongoing theta activity and accelerate the giving-up behaviour. Methods rTMS was applied during problem-solving tasks with the following conditions: individual theta (4-6Hz)- and alpha (9-13Hz)-TMS, no-TMS, and sham-TMS; the order of conditions was counterbalanced across participants. Results Our results showed that theta-frequency rTMS application induced an increase in theta amplitudes and shortened the giving-up response, while a control alpha-frequency rTMS application induced an increase in alpha amplitudes, but did not change giving-up responses. Conclusions This study demonstrated the effectiveness of using specific task-relevant stimulation frequency and target location for the modulation of cognitive and behavioral performance. Furthermore, considering the close resemblance between giving-up behaviour and rumination in depression, neuromodulation of cognitive giving-up processes may lead to a new intervention to treat depression by rTMS. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
Certain proteins, such as inflammatory cytokines, that are released from injured or diseased organs are transported from the circulating blood through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) into the brain and contribute to the pathogenesis of related central nervous system dysfunctions. However, little is known about the protein transport mechanisms involved in the central nervous system dysfunctions. The aims of the present study were to identify BBB-permeable protein(s) derived from liver and to clarify their transport characteristics at the BBB. After administration of biotin-labeled liver cytosolic protein fraction to mice in vivo, we identified 9 biotin-labeled proteins in the brain. Among them, we focused here on creatine kinase (CK). In vitro uptake studies with human brain microvessel endothelial cells (hCMEC/D3 cells) showed preferential uptake of muscle-type CK (CK-MM) compared with brain-type CK (CK-BB) at the BBB. Integration plot analysis revealed that CK-MM readily penetrated into brain parenchyma from the circulating blood across the BBB. The uptake of CK-MM by hCMEC/D3 cells was decreased at 4 °C and in the presence of clathrin- and caveolin-dependent endocytosis inhibitors. These results indicate that entry of CK into the brain is mediated by a transport system(s) at the BBB.

Abstract
Brain metastasis is a frequent complication of cancer and may be mediated, at least in part, by the internalization of cancer-cell-derived exosomes into brain capillary endothelial cells. Clarifying the mechanism(s) of this internalization is of interest because it could help us to develop ways to block brain metastasis, as well as affording a potential new route for drug delivery into the brain. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to address this issue by identifying the receptors involved in the internalization of exosomes derived from a brain-metastatic cancer cell line (SK-Mel-28) into human blood-brain barrier endothelial cells (hCMEC/D3 cells). The combination of sulfo-SBED-based cross-linking and comprehensive proteomics yielded 20 proteins as exosome receptor candidates in hCMEC/D3 cells. The uptake of PKH67-labeled exosomes by hCMEC/D3 cells measured at 37 °C was significantly reduced by 95.6% at 4 °C and by 15.3% in the presence of 1 mM RGD peptide, an integrin ligand. Therefore, we focused on the identified RGD receptors, integrin α5 and integrin αV, and CD46, which is reported to act as an adenovirus receptor, together with integrin αV. A mixture of neutralizing antibodies against integrin α5 and integrin αV significantly decreased the exosome uptake by 11.8%, while application of CD46 siRNA reduced it by 39.0%. Immunohistochemical analysis confirmed the presence of CD46 in human brain capillary endothelial cells. These results suggest that CD46 is a major receptor for the uptake of SK-Mel-28-derived exosomes by human blood-brain barrier endothelial cells (hCMEC/D3 cells).

Abstract
Molecular biomarkers in blood are needed to aid the early diagnosis and clinical assessment of glioblastoma (GBM). Here, in order to identify biomarker candidates in plasma of GBM patients, we performed quantitative comparisons of the plasma proteomes of GBM patients (n = 14) and healthy controls (n = 15) using SWATH mass spectrometry analysis. The results were validated by means of quantitative targeted absolute proteomics analysis. As a result, we identified eight biomarker candidates for GBM (leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein (LRG1), complement component C9 (C9), C-reactive protein (CRP), alpha-1-antichymotrypsin (SERPINA3), apolipoprotein B-100 (APOB), gelsolin (GSN), Ig alpha-1 chain C region (IGHA1), and apolipoprotein A-IV (APOA4)). Among them, LRG1, C9, CRP, GSN, IGHA1, and APOA4 gave values of the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of greater than 0.80. To investigate the relationships between the biomarker candidates and GBM biology, we examined correlations between plasma concentrations of biomarker candidates and clinical presentation (tumor size, progression-free survival time, or overall survival time) in GBM patients. The plasma concentrations of LRG1, CRP, and C9 showed significant positive correlations with tumor size (R2 = 0.534, 0.495, and 0.452, respectively).

Abstract
AbstractChlorine-enhanced GaAs maskless etching using a novel focused-ion-beametching (FIBE) system has been examined for establishing high-rate and smooth FIBE. The system is composed of an air-locked ultrahigh-vacuum chamber, a 30 KeV Ga+ FIB column and two kinds of chlorine-irradiation nozzles. A fine nozzle enabled us to irradiate a high-density Cl2 flux on a desired, small area of the sample while retaining a sufficiently low surrounding-gas pressure for stable Ga+ FIB emission. Highly chemically-enhanced sputtering yields (up to 50 GaAs molecules per incident ion) were obtained. At the maximum yield, line-scanned deep-groove (6.5 um) etching with a smooth surface, capable of fabricating a laser-cavity optical mirror, was demonstrated. The chemical-enhancement effect showed high FIB-scanning-time dependence. This effect was also observed by irradiating with a plasma-dissociated Cl radicals using a novel radical beam gun. An analytical model, based on the Ga+-ion bombardment on the chlorine-adsorbed substrate surface, suggested that the maximum chemical enhancement is obtained when the Ga+-FIB scanning time is adjusted to the chlorine-coverage time, given by the Cl2-molecule or Cl-radical flux density.

Abstract
The effects of lactobacilli on impaired intestinal barrier function and paracellular permeability were evaluated in human epithelial Caco-2 cells treated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha and in mice with colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Filter-grown Caco-2 monolayers were used as the intestinal epithelial model. Among the 4 lactobacilli studied, Lactobacillus rhamnosus OLL2838 most effectively suppressed barrier impairment and increased IL-8 secretion induced by tumor necrosis factor-alpha in Caco-2 cells; however, the conditioned medium from OLL2838 did not show any effect on barrier functions. The in vivo effects of OLL2838 on intestinal epithelial barrier function and colonic inflammation were assessed in DSS-induced colitis of BALB/c mice. Oral treatment with both live and heat-killed OLL2838 suppressed weight loss and recovered colon length. Additionally, barrier function was restored by the administration of live and heat-killed OLL2838 to the DSS-treated animals, which conferred protection against the increase in mucosal permeability associated with DSS-induced colitis. This may at least partially be because of the increased expression of zonula occludens-1 (4.8-fold) and myosin light-chain kinase (3.1-fold) in intestinal epithelial cells isolated from mice of the heat-killed OLL2838 group. Therefore, L. rhamnosus OLL2838 would be useful in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
2525 Background: Carboplatin plus gemcitabine (CG) is a standard regimen for advanced NSCLC. Although the dose of C is calculated from Cr clearance (CCr) by Calvert‘s formula, severe thrombocytopenia sometimes occurs in the CG regimen. Severe thrombocytopenia might arise from differences in the methods of measuring Cr values. We have used two different techniques, the Jaffé method and the enzymatic method. When the enzymatic method was used, CCr overestimated the glomerular filtration rate and the dose of C calculated by Calvert‘s formula leads to overdosing. The aim of this study was to clarify whether severe thrombocytopenia could be avoided by adjusting the CCr in the CG regimen when Cr is measured by the enzymatic method. Methods: All patients (pts) were treated with CG (C, AUC = 5 on day 1; G, 1,000 mg/m2 on days 1 and 8) every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. Serum Cr values were measured by the enzymatic method and CCr was estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula in all patients. In the non-adjusted group, the dose of C was calculated by Calvert‘s formula with no adjustment of CCr. In the adjusted group, the dose of C was calculated by Calvert‘s formula, adjusting Cr as follows: (serum Cr +0.2). We compared the correlations between Cr values and the nadir of thrombocytes, and the frequencies of severe thrombocytopenia in both groups. Results: 32 pts and 28 pts were enrolled in the non-adjusted and the adjusted groups, respectively. Grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia was observed in 19 pts (60%) and these pts had low levels of serum Cr values. On the other hand, significantly fewer cases of grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia were observed in the adjusted group (8 pts; 29%, p < 0.0001). In addition, there was a significant correlation between Cr values and the nadir of thrombocytes in the non-adjusted group (R= 0.442, p= 0.0105), but no significant correlation was observed in the adjusted group (R= -0.196, p= 0.3212). These results suggest that adjustment of CCr can reduce the variable nadir of thrombocytes in the CG regimen when Cr is measured by the enzymatic method. Conclusions: If Cr is measured by the enzymatic method, adjustment of Cr is needed to avoid severe thrombocytopenia in the CG regimen. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
e19074 Background: S-1 is a novel oral 5-fluorouracil derivative that exhibits obvious activity against various tumor types including NSCLC. However, the effects of S-1 against SCLC have not been reported. The present phase II trial assesses the efficacy and safety of S-1 in previously treated SCLC patients. Methods: Eligible patients had pathologically documented SCLC that relapsed after platinum-based chemotherapy, ECOG performance status (PS) 0–2, and adequate bone marrow, kidney and liver function. Patients with untreated or symptomatic brain metastasis were excluded. Treatment comprised the oral administration of S-1 at 40 mg/m2 twice each day for 28 days every 6 weeks. The primary end point was the objective tumor response rate (RECIST). Secondary endpoints included progression-free survival and overall survival. Results: Twenty-six evaluable patients were enrolled (Simon's two-stage optimal design; α = 0.1; β = 0.1; P0 = 0.05; P1 = 0.25) with the following characteristics: male: female, 22/4; median age, 68 (33 - 79) y; PS0–1, n = 21; PS2, n = 5. The median number of prior treatment regimens was 2 (1–3). S-1 was administered for a mean of 1.3 cycles (1 - 5). One patient (3.8%) partially responded, 10 (38.5%) had stable and 15 (57.7%) had progressive disease. The overall response rate was 3.8% and the disease control rate was 42.3%. The median time to progression was 33 days. The median survival time was 8.0 months and the 1-year survival rate was 23%. This regimen was well tolerated. The common grade 3/4 toxicities included neutropenia (7.7%), leukopenia (7.7%), anemia (7.7%), hyponatremia (7.7%), rush (7.7%), infection (7.7%), and diarrhea (3.8%). None of the patients developed febrile neutropenia and no deaths were attributed to treatment. Conclusions: S-1 is well tolerated but has low activity as a single agent in previously treated patients with SCLC. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract
AIMS The evaluation of the effects of Enterococcus hirae, an intestinal bacterium in the adjacent mucosa (mucosal bacterium), on tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced barrier impairment in human epithelial Caco-2 cells. METHODS AND RESULTS The filter-grown Caco-2 monolayers were used as an intestinal epithelial model system. In Caco-2 cells, heat-killed E. hirae ATCC 9790(T) suppressed the TNF-alpha-induced barrier impairment and increase in interleukin-8 (IL-8) secretion, but lipase- and mutanolysin-treated E. hirae ATCC 9790(T) did not have these effects. It was demonstrated that lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from E. hirae ATCC 9790(T) is responsible for Caco-2 cells' recovery from TNF-alpha-induced impairments. In addition, Caco-2 cells had the same response to Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) ligand, Pam(3)Cys-Ser-(Lys)(4) as they did to LTA. Increased expression of zonula occludens-1 was observed by the addition of E. hirae ATCC 9790(T) to TNF-alpha-treated Caco-2 cells, and decreased expression of myosin light chain kinase was observed by the addition of LTA and Pam(3)Cys-Ser-(Lys)(4); this, in turn, led to barrier enforcement. CONCLUSIONS Enterococcus hirae ATCC 9790(T) cell wall fractions, such as LTA, protect against intestinal impairment by regulation of epithelial tight junction via TLR2 signalling. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Enterococcus hirae could be useful in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, as well as other intestinal disorders.

Abstract
We compared endothelial function noninvasively in 15 elderly patients with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) with 12 nondiabetic elderly patients. Using high resolution ultrasound, we measured flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery and sublingual nitroglycerin (NTG)-mediated dilatation. FMD was significantly impaired in subjects with NIDDM compared with control subjects. In NIDDM subjects, FMD with complications was lower than in subjects with noncomplications. However, there was no significant difference in NTG between NIDDM subjects and the control group. Hyperemic blood flow change was lower in NIDDM subjects, but not significant. These results suggest that elderly patients with NIDDM have impaired L-arginine/nitric oxide (NO) pathways and the possibility of capillary rarefaction.

Abstract
Arotinolol hydrochloride with alpha-and beta-receptor blocking action, developed in Japan, is mainly used for the treatment of hypertension. The study population consisted of 42 outpatients with essential hypertension with a blood pressure greater or equal to 160/96 mmHg. 10 men and 32 women, with a mean age of 77.5 year. The patients received 10 mg arotinolol hydrochloride daily for 24 weeks which was taken orally twice a day. We evaluated the changes of blood pressure, heart rate and chief complaints of patients before and every 4 weeks during treatment and the renal function before, 12 weeks after and 24 weeks after, the administration of arotinolol hydrochloride. Blood pressure and heart rate decreased significantly after 4 weeks of treatment with arotinolol hydrochloride (p < 0.05). However, no significant changes were found in blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, serum albumin, beta2-microglobuline, NAG or creatinine clearance during the 24 weeks of treatment. These results indicate that arotinolol hydrochloride has antihypertensive effects without renal dysfunction in elderly patients with essential hypertension.

Abstract
A 77-year-old woman had suffered from memory disturbance and disorientation for two years before she was admitted to the hospital because of confusion. Her score on the Hasegawa dementia scale revised (HDS-R) was 12 points at the time of the first medical examination. No other abnormalities could be found except for a blood glucose concentration of 34 mg/ dl. A Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) of the brain showed some small lacunae on both sides in the frontal white matter and basal ganglia. After hospitalization, glucose was administered and the blood glucose concentration increased, but the dementia-like symptoms did not resolve. She was discharged because the symptoms were too difficult to control in the general hospital. Although dementia-like symptoms were present even after discharge, they did not necessarily appear during fasting. Six months later she was rehospitalized. The insulin-blood sugar ratio was at least 0.3 and abdominal echogram showed a 1-cm tumor at the tail of pancreas. The pancreas tail was removed and the tumor cells were reacted with anti-insulin-antibodies. One month after the operation, the dementia-like symptoms had resolved. The HDS-R score was improved to 27 points (normal range) 40 days after the operation. The amount of the slow waves in the electroencephalogram decreased 5 months after the operation. The dementia-like symptoms observed in this case could be regarded as the Durchgangssyndrom of Wieck. This syndrome is observed transiently at the time of recovery of deterioration of disturbances of consciousness. But it is treatable. This patient was an interesting case that showed Durchgangssyndrom mimiking dementia associated with insulinoma.

Abstract
Urinary angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were measured after a 5-year interval in 38 non-azotemic type 2 diabetic patients. Of these patients at baseline, 16 had nil nephropathy, 15 had incipient nephropathy, and 7 had overt nephropathy. During the follow-up, 6 and 1 of the 16 patients with nil nephropathy developed incipient and overt nephropathy, respectively. Four of the 15 patients with incipient nephropathy progressed to overt nephropathy. The 7 patients with overt nephropathy continued to have overt nephropathy, with slight azotemia in one. Urinary ACE and NAG levels were normal at baseline and showed no significant elevations at follow-up in the patients with nil nephropathy, no significant changes in baseline and modest elevations at follow-up in the patients with incipient nephropathy, and high at baseline and marked elevations at follow-up in the patients with overt nephropathy. In all patients, urinary ACE during the follow-up was positively correlated with urinary albumin or NAG, but not with glomerular filtration rate. Urinary ACE may be of poor prognostic value for the follow-up of diabetic patients, which is at variance with urinary albumin.

Abstract
Rhabdomyolysis is occasionally associated with metabolic disorders such as diabetic coma, severe electrolyte disturbances and myxedema coma. We describe rhabdomyolysis accompanying thyroid crisis. A 50-year-old man with Graves' disease developed rhabdomyolysis, congestive heart failure and hepatic failure during the course of thyroid crisis and then died of acute renal failure. Postmortem examination revealed rhabdomyolysis in the cardiac and psoas muscles, old myocardial infarction, hepatic centrilobular necrosis, renal cortical necrosis, and follicular hyperplasia in the thyroid. Circulatory collapse and dehydration under excessive hypermetabolic state presumably suppressed the source of energy and oxygen for muscle cells, leading to cellular damage.

Abstract
Permeation of electrolyte ions through poly(L-lysine-alt-terephthalic acid) microcapsule membranes was studied as a function of the pH of the medium at different ionic strengths. When the pH of the medium was varied, the permeation rate for 5-sulphosalicylate anions, as well as phenyltrimethylammonium cations, was slow at pH values lower than 4, showed a sudden and large increase in the pH range between 4 and 6, and thereafter remained unchanged. This remarkable change in the permeation rate was found to be produced by an abrupt increase in the microcapsule size observed in the same pH range. Increase in the ionic strength of the medium at pH values higher than 6 increased the rate of anion permeation but decreased the rate of cation permeation due to increase in the screening effect of salt ions on the negative charges in the microcapsule membranes.

Abstract
The incidence of thyrotoxicosis accompanied by overt diabetes has been reported to be 2 to 3%. Several workers have suggested the possible role of immunological and inherited factors in the occurrence of thyrotoxic patients with overt diabetes. We investigated, therefore, the clinical characteristics, backgrounds, and HLA antigens in thyrotoxic patients with overt diabetes. In nine thyrotoxic patients with overt diabetes (group DM) (3 men and 6 females, average age of 45.8 +/- 2.9 yr), mean levels of free-triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4) were 8.2 +/- 0.8 pg/ml and 4.9 +/- 0.4 ng/dl, respectively. Although these levels were extremely high, they were significantly lower than those levels in forty thyrotoxic patients without overt diabetes (group ND) (8 men and 32 females, average age 35.1 +/- 4.5 yr). Mean levels of both thyrotrophin receptor-antibody (TR-Ab) and thyroid simulating antibody (TS-Ab) in group DM were relatively lower than those in group ND. Mean titers of both antithyroid antibody (TGHA) and antimicrosomal antibody (MCHA) in group DM were also relatively lower than those in group ND, respectively. Regarding the clinical features in thyrotoxic patients with overt diabetes, mean duration of diabetes mellitus was 4.1 +/- 2.5 years with mean levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG), HbA1c, and serum fructosamine 208.1 +/- 34.0 mg/dl, 10.6 +/- 0.6%, and 3.9 +/- 0.9 mmol/L, respectively. Seven patients in group DM frequently had ketosis or ketoacidosis in their histories, and they had been treated with insulin injection. However, the diabetic complications in group DM were moderate or severe.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Hyperglycemia and impaired glucose tolerance are frequently observed in patients with hyperthyroidism. However, little is known about whether altered polyol metabolism in hyperthyroidism is present or not. To examine changes in polyol metabolism in hyperthyroidism, we investigated changes in erythrocyte sorbitol, glyceraldehyde reductase (GAR) and sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) activities during hyperthyroid and euthyroid states in patients with thyrotoxicosis. Mean levels of erythrocyte sorbitol and GAR were 32.0 +/- 1.6nM/g.Hb and 147.1 +/- 0.3mU/g.Hb, respectively. In thyrotoxic patients in a hyperthyroid state, these values were significantly higher than those in euthyroid controls. Mean level of erythrocyte SDH in thyrotoxic patients was weak but was significantly increased in comparison with that of euthyroid controls. However, mean levels of erythrocyte sorbitol and GAR were remarkably reduced to 23.6 +/- 1.4nM/g.Hb and 125.3 +/- 4.6mU/g.Hb in thyrotoxic patients in a euthyroid state after treatment with anti-thyroid drugs or by subtotal thyroidectomy. Mean level of SDH, on the other hand, was increased after the treatment. In addition, positive correlations were observed between the level of erythrocyte sorbitol or GAR, and the level of free thyroxine(FT4) or free triiodothyronine(FT3). A negative correlation was observed between the level of erythrocyte SDH and the level of FT4 or FT3. These results suggest that the level of erythrocyte sorbitol may be increased through direct acceleration of erythrocyte GAR activity by increased thyroid hormone levels in patients with thyrotoxicosis.

Abstract
Changes in TSH-receptor antibody (TR-Ab) and thyroid stimulating antibody (TS-Ab) after thyroidectomy were examined in seventeen thyrotoxic patients (3 males and 14 females, 40.0 +/- 3.4 yr) with positive TR-Ab and TS-Ab. They were subjected to thyroid surgery because of suspected malignancy, methymazol induced agranulocytosis, cardiac failure, recurrent gastric ulcer or emotional instability. Of these patients, 3 were totally thyroidectomized, 11 were subtotally thyroidectomized and 3 were unilaterally lobectomized. Histological findings in these patients showed diffuse hyperplasia in 8 cases, an adenomatous goiter in 3, diffuse hyperplasia plus follicular adenomas in 5, and Hashitoxicosis in one. Their thyroid function before surgery was as follows: T3 level, 3.9 +/- 0.7 ng/ml; T4, 19.5 +/- 3.3 micrograms/dl; free T3, 11.9 +/- 1.2 pg/ml; free T4, 4.9 +/- 1.0 ng/dl; and TSH, 0.9 +/- 0.1 microU/ml. Mean levels of TR-Ab and TS-Ab before surgery were 56.8 +/- 4.6% and 1,218.6 +/- 262.4%, respectively. Positive anti-thyroid antibody (TGHA) was 47.0%, positive anti-microsomal antibody (MCHA) was 88.2% in these thyrotoxic patients, and mean levels of TGHA and MCHA were 1,688 +/- 715 and 89,280 +/- 34,717 times, respectively. After the operation, these parameters were decreased and their thyroid functions became an euthyroid or a hypothyroid state one month later. The incidence of post-operative hypothyroidism was 45.5% in subtotally thyroidectomized patients, 33.3% in unilaterally lobectomized patients and 100% in totally thyroidectomized patients. TR-Ab levels decreased from 56.2 +/- 6.5% before surgery to 24.5 +/- 12.2% 12 months after surgery, but increased again to 35.0 +/- 15.7% 24 months after surgery in subtotally thyroidectomized patients. These levels also decreased from 50.4 +/- 11.0% before surgery to 37.8 +/- 11.4% 12 months after surgery, and remained unchanged to 38.2 +/- 10.4% 24 months after surgery in unilaterally lobectomized patients. On the other hand, in totally thyroidectomized patients, TR-Ab levels decreased and normalized 12 months after surgery. One of subtotally thyroidectomized or unilaterally lobectomized patients developed recurrent thyrotoxicosis with an increased positive TR-Ab. Mean levels of TS-Ab decreased to 28.3 +/- 181.3% and 152.5 +/- 47.9% 12 and 24 months after surgery, respectively, in subtotally thyroidectomized patients. These levels decreased 12 months after surgery and then increased again to 303.6 +/- 130.6% in unilaterally lobectomized patients. On the other hand, TS-Ab levels decreased and normalized to 94.3 +/- 3.9% 6 months after surgery in totally thyroidectomized patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Altered sodium intake is known to cause a greater change in plasma 18-hydroxycorticosterone (18-OHB) level than in plasma aldosterone level, resulting in an increase of plasma 18-OHB/aldosterone ratio in sodium-depleted man and rats. To evaluate the role of endogenous angiotensin II in the high plasma 18-OHB/aldosterone ratio in sodium-depleted rats, we examined the effect of the angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitor SQ 14225 on plasma 18-OHB and aldosterone in sodium-depleted (SD) and sodium-repleted (SR) conscious rats. Plasma renin activity (PRA) and plasma angiotensin II were higher in the SD rats than in the SR rats. The ingestion of SQ 14225 caused an increase in PRA and a decrease in plasma angiotensin II, whereas these changes were more prominent in the SD rats than in the SR rats. Plasma 18-OHB and aldosterone levels were higher in the SD rats than in the SR rats. The plasma 18-OHB/aldosterone ratio was also higher in the SD rats than in the SR rats. The ingestion of SQ 14225 caused decreases in plasma 18-OHB and aldosterone levels in both the SR and SD rats, whereas the SQ 14225-induced decreases in plasma 18-OHB and aldosterone levels were more prominent in the SD rats than in the SR rats. Thus, the ingestion of SQ 14225 induced a decrease in the plasma 18-OHB/aldosterone ratio in both the SR and SD rats. The decrease in plasma 18-OHB/aldosterone ratio was more prominent in the SD rats than in the SR rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Twenty-four-hour urinary excretion of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) was investigated in relation to that of albumin and beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2M) in 25 non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) patients without nephropathy, 13 NIDDM patients with incipient nephropathy, 18 NIDDM patients with overt nephropathy, and 14 nondiabetic subjects. NIDDM patients without nephropathy and nondiabetic subjects were similar in albumin, beta 2M, and ACE excretion. NIDDM patients with incipient nephropathy had elevated albumin excretion (P less than .01) and similar beta 2M and ACE excretion compared with nondiabetic subjects. On the other hand, NIDDM patients with overt nephropathy had elevated albumin, beta 2M, and ACE excretion compared with nondiabetic subjects (P less than .01). In all NIDDM patients studied, a positive correlation was found between ACE excretion and albumin excretion (r = 0.76, P less than .001) or beta 2M excretion (r = 0.52, P less than .01). These data suggest that elevated ACE excretion in NIDDM patients with overt nephropathy may be reflective of renal tubular damage.

Abstract
Amiodarone, an antiarrhythmic agent, is known to occasionally induce alterations in thyroid function because of its iodine content and ability to inhibit T4 5'-monodeiodination. We herein describe the drug-induced chemical hyperthyroidism in a diabetic patient with ventricular premature beats. A 46-year-old man with well controlled diabetes mellitus revealed neck swelling during a 4 months' treatment with amiodarone for his frequent occurrence of ventricular premature beats. Physical findings were unremarkable other than grade III diffuse struma. Routine laboratory studies were almost normal. The results of thyroid function studies showed hyperthyroidism, including increases in T4 and free T4, slight increases in T3 and free T3, a marked increase in reverse T3 and a decrease in 123I 24-h uptake. TSH was low and did not respond to TRH. Antithyroid antibodies and TSH receptor antibodies were negative. The findings of the thyroid biopsy were unremarkable except for a mild follicular hyperplasia. After cessation of the drug, T3 and free T3 were returned to normal within 2 weeks, T4 and free T4 within 2 months and reverse T3 after 6 months. These data suggest that the struma and chemical hyperthyroidism observed in our patient were induced by amiodarone treatment.

Abstract
An efficient separation of corticosteroids in plasma of rats was obtained by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Plasma corticosteroid assays with HPLC separation were used to determine the circadian rhythm of 18-hydroxycorticosterone (18-OHB) and its possible relationship to aldosterone or corticosterone in conscious rats under standard conditions (regular diet; 12-hour light and 12-hour dark cycle). Significant circadian rhythms of plasma corticosterone, 18-OHB and aldosterone were observed with peak values at 20.00 h and nadir values at 08.00 h. The mean ratio of plasma 18-OHB to aldosterone during 24 h was 2.4. The circadian rhythm of 18-OHB was also correlated with that of plasma aldosterone or corticosterone.

Abstract
This paper describes conditions for the reproducible measurement of optical fiber connection losses. The steady-state power distribution is characterized by the width of the far-field pattern (FFP). A method is proposed to determine the power distribution in the fiber from the measured FFP. Using this method, connection losses of graded-index fibers are calculated for various widths of the FFP. Calculated results are verified experimentally. The width of the FFP must be controlled to within an accuracy of 3% for a 0.05-dB reproducibility of the connection loss. Connection loss dependence on mismatch of fiber parameters is also calculated. Calculation shows that variations in core radius, numerical aperture, and index gradient have to be controlled to within 3%, 6%, and 0.3, respectively, for the same reproducibility.

Abstract
The optical-wavelength-division multiplexer reported here is composed of three multimode fiber pieces with dielectric multilayers evaporated on the ends of the fibers, which have been polished obliquely or squarely. The working faces of these fibers are bonded together in a crossed V groove to duplex two wavelengths (lambda = 0.82 and 1.2 microm). The far ends of the joined fiber pieces are left intact for splicing with fiber cables or are terminated with connector ferrules for connection. The multiplexer is small (1 cm square) and lightweight (1.5-3 g). It also shows low insertion loss (1 dB) and cross-talk level (below -40 dB). We have estimated that the cost of this type of component can be reduced to I order of magnitude lower than that of conventional lens and mirror types.

Abstract
A technique is introduced that determines power distribution in fibers from the measured near-field pattern, assuming that: (1) the optical power distributes uniformly among degenerated modes with the same propagation constant, (2) enough modes are excited to ensure the validity of calculation by geometrical optics, and (3) the phase of each propagation mode has no correlation. Experiments verifed that the fibers have the function of flattening power distribution among modes with the same propagation constant. This fact shows that assumption (1) does not severely limit the applicability of the technique. Wave optical calculation is done to determine the numbers of modes that must be excited to satisfy assumption (2). As an example of application of the technique, differential mode attenuation of graded-index fibers is determined from longitudinal variation of the measured near-field pattern.
