Abstract
SummaryWhen the rate of lysis of artificial thrombi (prepared from plasma or whole blood) was expressed according to the concentration of tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA) or single chain urokinase type plasminogen activator (sc-uPA) then bell-shaped dose response curves were obtained, low rates being observed at concentrations of activator greater than 500 units/ml. Bell-shaped dose response curves were not observed for rate of lysis of artificial thrombi over the concentrations of streptokinase tested (SK) or for the lysis of plasma gel clots by any of the activators tested. Further investigation indicated that the preponderant mechanism for dissolution of thrombi at 500 units/ml of t-PA was by activation of the plasminogen within the thrombus (intrinsic) since the plasminogen present in the plasma perfusing the thrombus (extrinsic) rapidly became depleted. On the other hand, at 50 units/ml t-PA the lysis was observed to be due preponderantly to the action of plasmin arising from extrinsic rather than intrinsic plasminogen. If "plasminogen enriched" thrombi were prepared in the presence of Lys plasminogen (Lys-Plg) faster rates of lysis occurred and bell-shaped biometric curves were not observed.

Abstract
SummaryA perfusion circuit was designed to investigate in vitro some of the factors which may influence the success of thrombolytic treatment in vivo. The rate of lysis of clotted plasma and different types of artificial thrombi (fibrin thrombi or whole blood thrombi) was measured in citrated plasma or whole blood under static conditions or under shear stress equivalent to the arterial or venous circulation. With both streptokinase (SK) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) the rate of lysis of fibrin thrombi and whole blood thrombi was reduced significantly, when compared to the conventional plasma gel clot model (25-fold and 8fold, respectively). This occurred particularly with SK which showed a reduction (4-fold) in potency relative to t-PA under these conditions. Lysis of thrombi by both activators was observed to be faster in plasma than whole blood, and also faster with whole blood thrombi than fibrin thrombi. High shear stress, generally, caused a reduction in the rate of lysis of fibrin thrombi and an increase in the rate of lysis of whole blood thrombi compared to lysis rates under static conditions. Under all conditions of flow the lysis rate observed at 50 units t-PA per ml was much faster than that at 500 units per ml unlike the conventional plasma gel clot model.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of the predominant lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on the fermentation characteristics and aerobic stability of total mixed ration (TMR) silage containing soybean curd residue (SC-TMR silage). The SC-TMR materials were ensiled in laboratory silos for 14 or 56 days. LAB predominant in SC-TMR silage were identified (Exp. 1). Lactobacillus fermentum (L. fermentum) and Streptococcus bovis (S. bovis) were found in the untreated materials, Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides (L. pseudomesenteroides) in 14-day silage and Lactobacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) in all silages. Pediococcus acidilactici (P. acidilactici), Lactobacillus paracasei (L. paracasei), and Lactobacillus brevis (L. brevis) formed more than 90% of the isolates in 56-day silage. Italian ryegrass and whole crop maize were inoculated with P. acidilactici and L. brevis isolates and the fermentation and aerobic stability determined (Exp. 2). Inoculation with P. acidilactici and L. brevis alone or combined improved the fermentation products in ryegrass silage and markedly enhanced its aerobic stability. In maize silage, P. acidilactici and L. brevis inoculation caused no changes and suppressed deterioration when combined with increases in acetic acid content. The results indicate that P. acidilactici and L. brevis may produce a synergistic effect to inhibit SC-TMR silage deterioration. Further studies are needed to identify the inhibitory substances, which may be useful for developing potential antifungal agents.

Abstract
An orthogonal dynamic programming (ODP) based particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique is developed to measure the time resolved flow field of the fluctuating structures at the plasma edge and scrape off layer (SOL) of tokamaks. This non-intrusive technique can provide two dimensional velocity fields at high spatial and temporal resolution from a fast framing image sequence and hence can provide better insights into plasma flow as compared to conventional probe measurements. Applicability of the technique is tested with simulated image pairs. Finally, it is applied to tangential fast visible images of QUEST plasma to estimate the SOL flow in inboard poloidal null-natural divertor configuration. This technique is also applied to investigate the intricate features of the core of the run-away dominated phase following the injection of a large amount of neutrals in the target Ohmic plasma. Development of the ODP-PIV code and its applicability on actual plasma images is reported.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cells have been known to enhance the host immune responses against cancer. NK cell number and cytotoxicity in patients with cancer is often low. Therefore, we developed a large-scale ex vivo NK cell expansion method without feeder layers and introduced NK cell-based autologous immune enhancement therapy (AIET). In this paper, we discuss the epidemiological data that show the relationship between NK activity and cancer incidence, monitoring of NK cell number and activity, anti-cancer activities of NK cells in vitro and in vivo and the effects of the combination of expanded NK cells with monoclonal antibody drugs on cancers through antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Finally, we also present the clinical cases of NK cell-based AIET and the effect of AIET on advanced stage of pancreatic cancer and on various advanced cancers refractory to conventional therapies. NK cell-based AIET might be a useful strategy in the multidisciplinary approach to cancer.

Abstract
AIMS To examine how storage temperatures influence ensiling fermentation, aerobic stability and microbial communities of total mixed ration (TMR) silage. METHODS AND RESULTS Laboratory-scale silos were stored at 5, 15, 25 and 35°C for 10, 30 and 90 days. If silage was stored at 5°C, fermentation was weak until day 30, but acceptable lactic acid production was observed on day 90. The ethanol content was higher than the acetic acid content when stored at 15 and 25°C, whereas the ethanol content was lower when stored at 35 than at 25°C. Aerobic deterioration did not occur when silage was exposed to air at the same temperature at which it was stored. Although 10-day silages stored at 5 and 15°C deteriorated when the aerobic stability test was conducted at 25°C, heating was not observed in silages stored at 25 or 35°C or in any 90-day silages regardless of storage temperature. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis demonstrated that bands indicative of Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus delbrueckii were less prominent, while bands indicative of Lactobacillus panis became more distinct in silages stored at high temperatures. Bands of Kluyveromyces marxianus were seen exclusively in silages that were spoiled at 25°C. CONCLUSION High ambient temperature enhances acetic acid production in TMR silage. Lactobacillus panis may be associated with changes in the fermentation products due to differences in storage temperature. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The role of Lacto. panis in ensiling fermentation and aerobic stability is worth examining.

Abstract
A fast visible imaging system is installed on the spherical tokamak QUEST to study edge turbulence. The camera uses a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor detector with a maximum resolution of 1024 × 1024 at 7000 frames∕s (fps) and can achieve 775 kfps at a resolution of 128 × 24. In this paper, we present the salient features of the system and its application to study edge turbulence in 8.2 GHz ECRH driven slab plasma, without plasma current. Vertical magnetic field (B(z)) topology is varied with three sets of poloidal field (PF) coils and the variation in the edge turbulence is investigated as a function of the B(z) strength and curvature. Fluctuation amplitude was highest for the shallow PF well. Cross-correlation coefficient shows distinct coherent mode along z direction at the steep density gradient region and it grows with the PF mirror ratio.

Abstract
AIMS To understand the effects of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) inoculation on fermentation products, aerobic stability and microbial communities of silage. METHODS AND RESULTS Wilted Italian ryegrass was stored in laboratory silos with and without inoculation of Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus buchneri. The silos were opened after 14, 56 and 120 days and then subjected to aerobic deterioration for 7 days. Intensive alcoholic fermentation was found in untreated silage; the sum of ethanol and 2,3-butanediol content at day 14 was about 7 times higher than that of lactic and volatile fatty acids. Alcoholic fermentation was suppressed by L. rhamnosus and L. buchneri inoculation and lactic acid and acetic acid became the dominant fermentation products, respectively. Silages were deteriorated in untreated and L. rhamnosus-inoculated silages, whereas no spoilage was found in L. buchneri-inoculated silage. Enterobacteria such as Erwinia persicina, Pantoea agglomerans and Rahnella aquatilis were detected in untreated silage, whereas some of these bacteria disappeared or became faint with L. rhamnosus treatment. When silage was deteriorated, Lactobacillus brevis and Bacillus pumilus were observed in untreated and L. rhamnosus-inoculated communities, respectively. The inoculated LAB species was detectable in addition to untreated bacterial communities. Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Pichia anomala were the main fungi in untreated and L. rhamnosus-inoculated silages; however, P. anomala was not visibly seen in L. buchneri-inoculated silage either at silo opening or after exposure to air. CONCLUSION Inoculation with L. rhamnosus can suppress alcoholic fermentation of wilted grass silage with elimination of enterobacteria at the beginning of fermentation. Addition of L. buchneri may improve aerobic stability, with distinct inhibitory effect observed on P. anomala after silo opening. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Bacterial and fungal community analyses help us to understand how inoculated LAB can function to improve the fermentation and aerobic stability of silage.

Abstract
AIMS To characterize the bacterial communities in commercial total mixed ration (TMR) silage, which is known to have a long bunk life after silo opening. METHODS AND RESULTS Samples were collected from four factories that produce TMR silage according to their own recipes. Three factories were sampled three times at 1-month intervals during the summer to characterize the differences between factories; one factory was sampled 12 times, three samples each during the summer, autumn, winter and spring, to determine seasonal changes. Bacterial communities were determined by culture-independent denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis. All silages contained lactic acid as the predominant acid, and the contents appeared stable regardless of factories and product seasons. Acetic acid and 1-propanol contents were different between factories and indicated seasonal changes, with increases in warm seasons compared to cool seasons. Both differences and similarities existed among the bacterial communities from each factory and product season. Lactobacillus parabuchneri was found in the products from three of four factories. Various sourdough lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were identified in commercial TMR silage; Lactobacillus panis, Lactobacillus hammesii, Lactobacillus mindensis, Lactobacillus pontis, Lactobacillus frumenti and Lactobacillus farciminis were detected in many products. Moreover, changes owing to product season were distinctive, and Lact. pontis and Lact. frumenti became detectable in summer products. CONCLUSION Sourdough LAB are involved in the ensiling of commercial TMR silage. Silage bacterial communities vary more by season than by factory. The LAB species Lact. parabuchneri was detected in the TMR silage but may not be essential to the product's long bunk life after silo opening. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Commercial TMR silage resembles sourdough with respect to bacterial communities and long shelf life. The roles of sourdough LAB in the ensiling process and aerobic stability are worth examining.

Abstract
Wet brewers grains and soybean curd residue were stored in laboratory-scale silos without (BG and SC silages, respectively) or with other ingredients as total mixed rations (BGT and SCT silages, respectively). Silages were opened after 14 and 56 d, and microbial counts, fermentation products, and aerobic stability were determined. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis was carried out to examine bacterial communities, and several bacteria that appeared to be involved in fermentation were identified. Lactic acid content was greater in SCT than in BGT silage, but lower in SC than in BG silage. Ethanol content was greater in BG than in SC regardless of silage type. Aerobic deterioration occurred promptly in ensiling materials (nonensiled by-products and total mixed ration mixtures) and in silages stored alone; however, SCT and BGT silages resisted deterioration and no heating was found for more than 5.5 d regardless of storage period. Silages were stable even with high yeast populations at silo opening, whereas prolonged ensiling decreased yeast counts in the 2 total mixed ration silages. The denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis profiles appeared similar between SCT and BGT silages but not between SC and BG silages. Weissella spp. and Lactobacillus brevis were common in aerobically stable SCT and BGT silages, and Lactobacillus buchneri was detected only in BGT silage. Both L. brevis and L. buchneri were found in silage but not in ensiling materials. Several other lactic acid bacteria were also identified in SCT and BGT silages, but did not appear to be related to fermentation and aerobic stability.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the effects of inoculating Lactobacillus casei or Lacobacillus buchneri on the production of biogenic amines (BA) in silage. METHODS AND RESULTS Wilted festulolium (Lolium perenne x Festuca pratensis), whole crop maize or a total mixed ration, consisting of wet brewer grains, lucerne hay, cracked maize, sugarbeet pulp, soyabean meal and molasses, was ensiled with or without the inoculation of either L. casei (>10(6) CFU g(-1)) or L. buchneri (>10(6) CFU g(-1)). Silages were opened after 60 days of storage, and the concentrations of histamine, tyramine, putrescine and cadaverine were determined. The inoculation of L. casei decreased all the BA regardless of the silage type. The effects of L. buchneri varied between the three silages; the tyramine and putrescine were increased in maize but were lowered in festulolium. Histamine was reduced in festulolium and the by-products, whereas no change was found in the maize silage. None of the inoculant strains produced the four BA in a synthetic medium, accounting for the actual ensiling except for tyramine and putrescine in maize. CONCLUSIONS Wide variation would be found in the production of BA owing to the ensiling materials. The inoculation of L. casei can lower the BA concentration, while the effects of L. buchneri may vary considerably. The screening of BA-producing activity may help to reduce the risk of BA contamination in inoculated silage. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Strains of decarboxylase-negative L. buchneri can enhance the aerobic stability of silage without a concern regarding the large production of putrefactive BA.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the fermentation characteristics and the effects of Lactobacillus buchneri inoculation in ensiling whole crop rice. METHODS AND RESULTS Laboratory-scale silages were prepared from whole crop rice harvested at yellow-ripe stage. The crop was ensiled for 2 months with and without inoculation of L. buchneri at 10(4), 10(5) and 10(6) CFU g(-1). The effect of prolonged ensiling was also studied by using the same crop; the silos were opened at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months, while the inoculation was made at 10(5) CFU g(-1). Enhanced alcoholic fermentation was found in untreated silage; the sum of ethanol and 2,3-butanediol were seven times higher at 2 months than those of lactic and volatile fatty acids, while the differences were diminished at 12 months owing to the reduction of ethanol in the late ensiling period. Inoculation of L. buchneri inhibited the alcohols; however, ethanol yet prevailed over the fermentation until 6 months, after which acetic acid became the main product in the inoculated silage. Regardless of inoculation and ensiling period, yeasts were not found in whole crop rice silage. CONCLUSIONS Substantial amounts of ethanol and 2,3-butanediol would be produced in silage prepared from whole crop rice. The alcoholic fermentation can be suppressed when inoculated with L. buchneri. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Inoculation of L. buchneri could be an option to prevent ethanol fermentation in silage.

Abstract
Adenocarcinoma of the gastric cardia (C-Ca) is possibly a specific subtype of gastric carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to clarify the differences in the clinicopathological characteristics between C-Ca and adenocarcinoma of the distal stomach (D-Ca), and also the differences in the expressions of gastric and intestinal phenotypic markers and genetic alterations between the two. The clinicopathological findings in 72 cases with C-Ca were examined and compared with those in 170 cases with D-Ca. The phenotypic marker expressions examined were those of human gastric mucin (HGM), MUC6, MUC2 and CD10. Furthermore, the presence of mutations in the APC, K-ras and p53 genes and the microsatellite instability status of the tumour were also determined. C-Ca was associated with a significantly higher incidence of differentiated-type tumours and lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI) as compared with D-Ca (72.2 vs 48.2%, P=0.0006 and 72.2 vs 55.3%, P=0.0232, respectively). Oesophageal invasion by the tumour beyond the oesophago-gastric junction (OGJ) was found in 56.9% of cases with C-Ca; LVI in the area of oesophageal invasion was demonstrated in 61% of these cases. Also, LVI was found more frequently in cases of C-Ca with oesophageal invasion than in those without oesophageal invasion (82.9 vs 58.1%, P=0.0197). The incidence of undifferentiated-type tumours was significantly higher in cases with advanced-stage C-Ca than in those with early-stage C-Ca (5 vs 36.5%, P=0.0076). A significantly greater frequency of HGM expression in early-stage C-Ca and significantly lower frequency of MUC2 expression in advanced-stage C-Ca was observed as compared with the corresponding values in cases of D-Ca (78.9 vs 52.2%, P=0.0402 and 51.5 vs 84.6%, P=0.0247, respectively). Mutation of the APC gene was found in only one of all cases of C-Ca, and the frequency of mutation of the APC gene was significantly lower in cases of C-Ca than in those of D-Ca (2.4 vs 20.0%, P=0.0108). The observations in this study suggest that C-Ca is a more aggressive tumour than D-Ca. The differences in biological behavior between C-Ca and D-Ca may result from the different histological findings in the wall of the OGJ and the different genetic pathways involved in the carcinogenesis.

Abstract
The first successful high power heating of a high dielectric constant spherical tokamak plasma by an electron Bernstein wave (EBW) is reported. An EBW was excited by mode conversion (MC) of an mode cyclotron wave injected from the low magnetic field side of the TST-2 spherical tokamak. Evidence of electron heating was observed as increases in the stored energy and soft x-ray emission. The increased emission was concentrated in the plasma core region. A heating efficiency of over 50% was achieved, when the density gradient in the MC region was sufficiently steep.

Abstract
We investigated the feasibility of correcting the congenital absence of albumin in Nagase analbuminemic rats (NARs) by allogeneic bone marrow cell transplantation (BMT). Seven-week-old male NARs were used as recipients, and 6- to 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were used as allograft donors. NARs were divided into three groups: a BMT group (n=10) in which bone marrow cells were infused into the liver; a hepatocyte transplantation (HCT) group (n=8) in which hepatocytes were transplanted into the liver, and a control group (n=8) in which PBS was injected into the portal vein. Serum albumin levels were measured as an indicator of the function of the grafted cells, and the phenotypic characteristics of the engrafted cells in the recipient's liver were assessed with immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence techniques. At 8 weeks after cell transplantation, the serum albumin levels of the BMT group and HCT group were significantly higher than in the control group. The hepatocyte-like cells derived from bone marrow cells expressed albumin in liver of the NARs. According to this result, bone marrow cells can differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells in vivo. The results show that BMT is an effective treatment for congenital analbuminemia in a rat model and suggest that allogeneic BMT can be used as an efficient therapy for hereditary metabolic diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the behavior of the crosslinked dimer of S19 ribosomal protein (RP S19), a natural C5a receptor ligand, in the C5a receptor-mediated respiratory burst reaction of monocytes and neutrophils. METHODS The respiratory burst reaction of leukocytes was quantitatively observed by continuous spectrophotometric measurement of the reduction of a water-soluble tetrazolium salt, WST-1. RESULTS The RP S19 dimer induced the respiratory burst of monocytes, but not of neutrophils. Furthermore, in neutrophils, the RP S19 dimer inhibited the reaction induced by C5a, but did not affect the formyl-Met-Leu-Phe-induced reaction. The dimer of a deletion mutant at the C-terminal portion of the RP S19 induced a respiratory burst reaction similar to the one induced by C5a, both in monocytes and neutrophils. Inversely, a chimeric fusion protein between C5a and RPS19, consisting of the addition of the 12 C-terminal amino acid residues of RP S19 after the C-terminal Arg74 of the C5a molecule, behaved similarly to the RP S19 dimer. CONCLUSIONS The RP S19 dimer works as an agonist and antagonist of the C5a receptor in the monocyte and the neutrophil respiratory burst reactions, respectively. The switch moiety between the antagonist and agonist of the RP S19 dimer for the C5a receptor in the induction of respiratory burst of phagocytes localizes at the C-terminal region of RP S19.

Abstract
Both gastric and intestinal phenotypic markers are known to be expressed in gastric carcinomas, irrespective of their histologic type. In the present study, the relation between gastric and intestinal phenotypic marker expression in gastric carcinomas and the recurrence pattern after surgery was examined. The phenotypic marker expression of the tumour was determined by examining the expression of human gastric mucin (HGM), MUC6, MUC2 and CD10 in 213 advanced gastric carcinomas in 213 patients who had undergone a curative resection (97 died from recurrent gastric carcinoma and 116 were alive without recurrence at the end of the follow-up period). Tumours were classified into gastric (G), gastric and intestinal mixed (GI), intestinal (I) or unclassified (UC) phenotypes according to the immunopositivity of HGM, MUC6, MUC2 and CD10 stainings. The incidence of HGM-positive tumours and MUC2-negative tumours was significantly higher in tumours with peritoneal recurrence than in tumours without recurrence (73.3%, 44 out of 60 cases vs 54.3%, 63 out of 116 (P=0.022); and 70.0%, 42 out of 60 vs 38.8%, 45 out of 116 (P=0.0002), respectively). The incidence of G-phenotype tumours was also significantly higher in tumours with peritoneal recurrence than in tumours without recurrence (58.3%, 35 out of 60 cases vs 28.4%, 33 out of 116 (P=0.0002)). The incidence of MUC2-negative tumours and CD10-positive tumours was significantly higher in tumours with haematogenous recurrence than in tumours without recurrence (62.5%, 20 out of 32 cases vs 38.8%, 45 out of 116 (P=0.028); and 43.8%, 14 out of 32 vs 23.3%, 27 out of 116 (P=0.039); respectively). Our present findings show that the gastric and intestinal phenotypic marker expression of the tumour, determined by immunohistochemical staining for HGM, MUC6, MUC2 and CD10, can be used to predict the pattern of gastric carcinoma recurrence after curative resection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To reveal the C5a receptor-mediated monocyte-selective chemoattraction of the homo-dimer of guinea pig S19 ribosomal protein (RP S19), and to study the topological relationship between the RP S19 and C5a receptor genes. METHODS cDNA cloning and nucleotide sequencing, leukocyte chemotaxis measurement, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) were performed in the guinea pig. RESULTS The amino acid sequence of the guinea pig RP S19 deduced from the cDNA nucleotide sequence was identical to the human protein. The dimer of a recombinant RP S19 attracted guinea pig monocytes but suppressed neutrophil chemotactic movement. Both effects were C5a receptor-mediated. In the FISH analysis, the signals denoting the guinea pig RP S19 gene and C5a receptor gene completely overlapped each other. CONCLUSIONS The guinea pig RP S19 dimer possessed a dual ligand effect, agonistic to the monocyte C5a receptor and antagonistic to the neutrophil receptor. The RP S19 and C5a receptor genes co-localized on the same chromosome.

Abstract
Whole crop corn (DM 29.2%) and a total mixed ration (TMR, DM 56.8%) containing wet brewers grains, alfalfa hay, dried beet pulp, cracked corn, soybean meal, and molasses at a ratio of 5:1:1:1:1:1 on fresh weight basis, were ensiled with and without Lactobacillus casei or Lactobacillus buchneri in laboratory silos. The effects of inoculation on microbial counts, fermentation products, and aerobic stability were determined after 10 and 60 d. Untreated corn silage was well preserved with high lactic acid content, whereas large numbers of remaining yeasts resulted in low stability on exposure to air. Inoculation with L. casei suppressed heterolactic fermentation, but no improvements were found in aerobic stability. The addition of L. buchneri markedly enhanced the aerobic stability, while not affecting the DM loss and NH3-N production. Large amounts of ethanol were found when the TMR was ensiled, and the content of ethanol overwhelmed that of lactic acid in untreated silage. This fermentation was related to high yeast populations and accounted for a large loss of DM found in the initial 10 d. The ethanol production decreased when inoculated with L. casei and L. buchneri, but the effects diminished at 60 d of ensiling. Inoculation with L. buchneri lowered the yeasts in TMR silage from the beginning of storage; however, the populations decreased to undetectable levels when stored for 60 d, regardless of inoculation. No heating was observed in TMR silage during aerobic deterioration test for 7 d. This stability was achieved even when a high population of yeasts remained and was not affected by either inoculation or ensiling period. The results indicate that inoculation with L. buchneri can inhibit yeast growth and improve aerobic stability of corn and TMR silage; however, high stability of TMR silage can be obtained even when no treatments were made and high population (>10(5) cfu/g) of yeasts were detected.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the effects of inoculation of Lactobacillus buchneri on the ensiling properties and aerobic stability of maize silage. METHODS AND RESULTS Chopped whole crop maize was ensiled in 0.5 litre airtight polyethylene bottles (0.4 kg per bottle) and in double-layered, thin polyethylene bags (15 kg per bag), with or without inoculation of Lact. buchneri. The silos were stored for two to four months and the chemical composition, microbial numbers and aerobic stability were determined. Inoculation lowered lactic acid and yeasts, and increased acetic acid and pH value, resulting in improved aerobic stability of the silages. Inoculated silages produced 1,2-propanediol, the content of which increased as ensiling was prolonged, and nearly 50 g kg-1 dry matter had accumulated after four months of storage. The effects of inoculation, however, were much less pronounced in silages prepared in bags. Mannitol was found in all silages; the production was lowered by Lact. buchneri treatment and appeared to be unrelated to the accumulation of 1,2-propanediol. CONCLUSIONS Inoculation of Lact. buchneri occasionally causes accumulation of 1,2-propanediol in silages without further degradation into propionic acid and 1-propanol. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY Substantial amounts of 1,2-propanediol could be consumed by ruminants when fed on silages inoculated with Lact. buchneri. In addition to increasing acetic acid, attention needs to be paid to 1,2-propanediol because the two fermentation products might affect the intake and utilization of silage-based diets.

Abstract
The S19 ribosomal protein (RP S19) cross-linked homo-dimer attracts monocyte migration by binding to C5a receptor on monocytes (H Nishiura, Y Shibuya, T Yamamoto, Laboratory Investigation, 1998, 78:1615-1623). Using site-directed mutants of recombinant RP S19 and synthetic peptides mimicking RP S19 molecular regions, we currently identified the binding sites of the RP S19 dimer to the C5a receptor. The RP S19 dimer activated the receptor by a two-step binding mechanism as in the case of C5a. The first binding site was a basic cluster region containing a -Lys41-His42-Lys43- sequence. The second one was the -Leu131-Asp132-Arg133- moiety, localized 12 residues upstream from the COOH-terminal. The second binding triggered the chemotactic response. The first binding would have a role in achieving a high-binding affinity between the ligand and receptor. The first and second ligand-binding sites of C5a receptor seem to be shared by C5a and the RP S19 dimer, although overall homology between the amino acid sequences of these ligands is only 4%.
