Abstract
Ninjinyoeito (NYT), a traditional Japanese medicine, is effective for improving physical strength and treating fatigue and anorexia. Recently, a clinical report revealed that NYT ameliorates cognitive dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients, although the mechanisms remain unclear. AD is a neurodegenerative disorder accompanied by a progressive deficit in memory. Current therapeutic agents are largely ineffective in treating cognitive dysfunction in AD patients. In this study, we investigated the effects of NYT on spatial memory impairment in a rat model of dementia. Rats were prepared with transient cerebral ischemia and intraventricular injection of β-amyloid1-42 for 7 days (CI + Aβ). NYT was orally administered for 7 days after cerebral ischemia. We evaluated spatial memory using the Morris water maze and investigated the expression of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-4-isoxazole propionic acid receptor subunits, the phosphorylation level of glutamate receptor A (GluA)1 at serine sites S831 and S845, and the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex of CI + Aβ rats. In the CI + Aβ rats, NYT treatment shortened the extended time to reach the platform. However, NYT did not restore the decrease in the hippocampal GluA1, GluA2, or CaMKII expression but increased prefrontal cortical phosphorylation levels of S845-GluA1 and CaMKII. Therefore, NYT may alleviate spatial memory impairment by promoting glutamatergic transmission involved in the phosphorylation of S845-GluA1 and CaMKII in the prefrontal cortex of CI + Aβ rats. Our results suggest that NYT is a valuable treatment for AD patients.

Abstract
A total of 290 Shigella strains consisting of 180 imported strains and 110 domestic strains isolated during 1995-1999 in Tokyo were examined regarding their species and serovar-distribution and their drug-resistance. In both groups, S. sonnei (70.0% in the imported strains, 80.9% in the domestic strains) was found to be the most prevalent species, followed by S. flexneri (20.0% in the imported strains, 19.1% in the domestic strains). S. dysenteriae and S. boydii were only isolated in the imported cases. Among the S. flexneri serovar, 1b, 2a, 6, 2b, and 3a were predominant in the imported strains, whereas 1b and 2a were predominant in the domestic strains. Provisional new serovar Shigella strains were isolated from 11 imported cases and 2 domestic cases. The drug-resistance test using 9 drugs (CP, TC, SM, KM, ABPC, ST, NA, FOM, and NFLX) showed that 92.2% of the imported strains and 94.5% of the domestic strains were resistant to some of the drugs tested. Drug-resistance patterns of the resistant strains varied in 25 types. Among those, a triple drug-resistance type with TC.SM.ST was found as the most frequent pattern in both groups. None of the strains were resistant to NFLX.

Abstract
A total of 118 nalidixic-acid (NA)-resistant Salmonella strains consisting of 68 domestic strains and 50 imported strains isolated during 1988-1998 in Tokyo were examined regarding their annual incidence, serovars, drug-resistance patterns, and minimum inhibitory concentrations(MIC) to fluoroquinolones (NFLX, OFLX, ENX, and CPFX). NA-resistant strains accounted for 1.3% of all Salmonella (5,302 strains) isolated from domestic cases, and 2.5% of all Salmonella (1,981 strains) isolated from imported cases. The incidence of NA-resistant strains has increased since 1995, and it has been remarkable in imported cases. The results of the serotyping showed that the NA-resistant strains were classified into 25 serovars, excluding untypable strains. Among those, S. Enteritidis (21 strains), S. Blockley (13 strains), S. Litchifield (13 strains), S. Typhimurium (13 strains), S. Hadar (9 strains), and S. Virchow (8 strains) were predominant. Drug-resistance patterns of NA-resistant strains, including other drugs (CP, TC, SM, KM, ABPC, ST, FOM, and NFLX) tested varied among the 26 types. Among those, multidrug-resistant strains accounted for 61.9% (73 strains), and one strain among them was high-resistant to NFLX. MIC distribution of NA-resistant strains to fluoroquinolones showed that the ranges of all drugs were 4-128 times higher than NA-sensitive strains used for controls.

Abstract
A total of 780 Salmonella serovar Hadar (S. Hadar) strains consisting of 601 domestic strains and 179 imported strains isolated in Tokyo, 1980-1998, were examined regarding their incidence and drug-resistance. Domestic strains accounted for 7.2% of all Salmonella (8,359 strains) isolated from domestic cases, and imported strains accounted for 4.4% of all Salmonella (4,083 strains) isolated from imported cases. A drug-resistance test using 9 drugs (CP, TC, SM, KM, ABPC, ST, NA, FOR, and NFLX) showed that 586 strains (97.6%) of the domestic strains and 175 strains (97.8%) of the imported strains were resistant to some of the drugs, excluding NFLX. Drugs with a high resistance rate were TC and SM for both groups. Drug-resistance patterns of the resistant strains varied among the 24 types. Among those, prevalent patterns recognized were TC.SM.KM (231 strains), TC.SM (205 strains), and TC.SM.KM.ABPC (65 strains) in the domestic strains, and TC.SM (135 strains) and TC (13 strains) in the imported strains.

Abstract
A total of 674 Salmonella serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) strains consisting of 522 domestic strains and 152 imported strains isolated in Tokyo, 1980-1998, were examined regarding their drug-resistance and phage-type. Domestic strains accounted for 6.2% of all Salmonella (8,359 strains) isolated from domestic cases, and imported strains accounted for 3.7% of all Salmonella (4,083 strains) isolated from imported cases. A drug-resistance test using 9 drugs (CP, TC, SM, KM, ABPC, ST, NA, FOM, and NFLX) showed that 245 strains (46.9%) of the domestic strains and 109 strains (71.7%) of the imported strains were resistant to some of the drugs, excluding FOM and NFLX. Drugs with a high resistance rate were TC, SM, ABPC, and CP for both groups. Drug-resistance patterns of the resistant strains varied among the 40 types. Among those, prevalent patterns recognized were CP.TC.SM.ABPC, CP.TC.SM.KM.ABPC, TC.SM, SM, and TC.KM in the domestic strains, and TC, CP.TC.SM.ABPC, CP.TC.SM.KM.ABPC, CP.TC.SM.KM.ABPC.ST and TC.KM in the imported strains. The results of the phage-typing test revealed that 31 strains of 52 domestic strains tested, and 13 strains of 46 imported strains tested were definitive type 104 (DT104). Those resistance patterns were CP.TC.SM.ABPC.SU (43 strains) and CP.TC.SM.KM.ABPC.SU (1 strain).
