Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals with variants of cytochrome c oxidase assembly factor 7 (COA7), a mitochondrial functional-related gene, exhibit symptoms of spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy before the age of 20. However, COA7 variants with parkinsonism or adult-onset type cases have not been described. CASE PRESENTATION We report the case of a patient who developed cerebellar symptoms and slowly progressive sensory and motor neuropathy in the extremities, similar to Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, at age 30, followed by parkinsonism at age 58. Exome analysis revealed COA7 missense mutation in homozygotes (NM_023077.2:c.17A > G, NP_075565.2: p.Asp6Gly). Dopamine transporter single-photon emission computed tomography using a 123I-Ioflupane revealed clear hypo-accumulation in the bilateral striatum. However, 123I-metaiodobenzylguanidine myocardial scintigraphy showed normal sympathetic nerve function. Levodopa administration improved parkinsonism in this patient. CONCLUSIONS COA7 gene variants may have caused parkinsonism in this case because mitochondrial function-related genes, such as parkin and PINK1, are known causative genes in some familial Parkinson's diseases.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Left ventricular (LV) remodeling, through excessive inflammation, leads to heart failure. Exercise (Ex) training is associated with a risk reduction in heart failure through direct and indirect mechanisms by which Ex contributes an anti-inflammatory effect. During Ex, contracting muscle fibers release myokines, including interleukins (ILs), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), follistatin-like protein 1 (FSTL-1), and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21), into the bloodstream. These myokines may have beneficial effects on other damaged organs, such as an infarcted myocardium, through anti-inflammatory effects. However, the exact mechanisms of the anti-inflammatory effects of voluntary Ex in myocardial infarction (MI) are poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated the effect of voluntary Ex on cardiac remodeling and inflammation, the relationship between cardiac remodeling and skeletal muscle (SKM) response, and circulating myokine levels in a mouse model of MI.
Methods
Twelve-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were used and divided into the following 4 groups: sham operation (Sham), MI, Sham+Ex, and MI+Ex. MI was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Ex groups began voluntary wheel running for 4 weeks after the operation. An echocardiography was performed at baseline and 4 weeks after the operation. The mRNA levels in the LV infarcted area and SKM were measured with RT-PCR and western blot analysis. Plasma levels of myokines were also measured with immunoassays.
Results
Four weeks after MI induction, echocardiographic evaluation showed that the MI mice had a larger LV end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) and end-systolic diameter (LVESD) than the Sham mice. The MI mice also showed higher mRNA levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-10 in the LV tissue when compared to the Sham mice. These changes were significantly ameliorated in the MI+Ex mice. Interestingly, in the MI+Ex mice, mRNA levels of IL-6, IL-1β, FSTL-1, and FGF-21 in the SKM were significantly higher than in the MI mice, while there were no significant differences in TNF-α and IL-10 levels in all groups. Similarly, protein expression levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha, sirtuin-1, and mitochondrial transcriptional factor A of mitochondrial function markers in SKM were also significantly higher in the MI+Ex mice than in the MI mice. Furthermore, there were significant correlations between plasma levels of IL-1β, but not other myokines, and LVEDD, and LVESD. In addition, there was also a significant correlation between the SKM IL-1β level and LVESD in the Sham+Ex mice (all, P<0.05).
Conclusions
Amelioration of cardiac remodeling and inflammation by voluntary Ex is associated with increased myokines, especially IL-1β, in a MI mouse model. These results suggest that increased myokine levels, through voluntary exercise, may play an important role in the prevention of cardiac remodeling after MI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases (GalNAc-Ts) family of enzymes regulates the initial steps of mucin-type O-glycosylation. N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases might show novel patterns of GalNAc-T glycosylation on tumour-derived proteins, which could influence cancer biology, but its mechanisms are unclear. We investigated the association of GalNAc-T3 and -T6 expressions with clinicopathological features and prognoses of patients with renal cell carcinomas (RCCs). METHODS Expressions of GalNAc-T3/6 and cell-adhesion molecules were analysed immunohistochemically in 254 paraffin-embedded tumour samples of patients with RCC. RESULTS Of 138 GalNAc-T3+ cases, 46 revealed significant co-expression with GalNAc-T6. N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases-3+ expression showed a close relationship to poor clinical performance and large tumour size, or pathologically high Fuhrman's grading, and presence of vascular invasion and necrosis. The GalNAc-T3-positivity potentially suppressed adhesive effects with a significantly low β-catenin expression. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed the GalNAc-T3+ group, but not the GalNAc-T6+ group, to have significantly worse survival rates. CONCLUSION N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferases-3 expression independently predicts high-grade tumour and poor prognosis in patients with RCC, and may offer a therapeutic target against RCC.

Abstract
Abstract
The effect of impregnated carbon dioxide (CO2) and pressure on dynamic viscoelastic responce of a commercial LDPE was investigated by a magnetic driven rotational rheometer equipped with a high-pressure chamber. It was found that i) the mode distribution of the viscoelastic relaxation is not sensitive to CO2 pressure realizing the superposition among moduli obtained at different pressures, that ii) the horizontal shift factor for the superposition reflecting the monomeric friction exponentially decreases with increase of the pressure, and that iii) the vertical shift factor relating to the entanglement number density is not sensitive to the pressure. From the observation it is suggested that CO2 and pressure mainly affect the monomeric friction and the effect on the entanglement dilation is not significant. The results are consistent with the dielectric measurement on polyisoprene (Matsumiya et al., Nihon Reoroji Gakkaishi, 35, 155–161, 2007).

Abstract
A novel genotyping method for epizootiological studies of bacterial cold-water disease caused by Flavobacterium psychrophilum and associated with quinolone resistance was developed. Polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was performed on 244 F. psychrophilum isolates from various fish species. PCR was performed with primer pair GYRA-FP1F and GYRA-FP1R amplifying the A subunit of the DNA gyrase (GyrA) gene, which contained the quinolone resistance determining region. Digestion of PCR products with the restriction enzyme Mph1103I showed two genotypes, QR and QS. The difference between these genotypes was amino acid substitutions at position 83 of GyrA (Escherichia coli numbering). The genotype QR indicated an alanine residue at this position associated with quinolone resistance in F. psychrophilum isolates. Of the 244 isolates tested in this study, the number of QR genotype isolates was 153 (62.7%). In isolates from ayu (n=177), 146 (82.5%) were genotype QR. With combination of this technique and previously reported PCR-RFLP genotyping, eight genotypes were observed in F. psychrophilum isolates. Using this genotyping system, the relationships between genotype and host fish species, or locality of isolation, were analysed and are discussed.

Abstract
Musk melon is the favorite fruit with a high market value in Japan, and the fragrance is one of the major factors determining the fruit quality of melon. In this study, mutant melon hairy roots which had been induced by means of the T-DNA insertion mutagenesis were found to produce volatile compounds with the fruity fragrance of mature melon. The volatile compounds were extracted and identified by GLC-mass spectrometry. Some essential oils such as (Z)-3-hexenol, (E)-2-hexenal, 1-nonanol, and (Z)-6-nonenol were stably synthesized by these hairy roots despite the increased number of subcultures. The productivity of these compounds by the best hairy root line was shown to be considerably higher than naturally ripened melon fruits.

Abstract
New polyisoprenepolyols (hypsiziprenol AA and BA) were isolated from an edible mushroom (Hypsizigus marmoreus). These polyols occur as a mixture of homologous polyisoprene derivatives with 40-70 carbon atoms. Analyses by FAB/MS in the positive and negative ion modes are complementary with each other in that the former provides information on the number of hydroxy groups present while the latter specifies the isoprenoid sequence, and thus become a powerful tool for analyzing the structures of polyisoprenepolyols. No polyisoprenepolyols obtained here were found to have antitumor activity on NCI-H292 and EL-4 cell lines.

Abstract
Three patients with obstructive cardiomyopathy underwent surgical treatment. Mitral valve replacement was performed in all three cases and myectomy of hypertrophic septal muscle was performed in one case. The pressure gradients between the left ventricle and the aorta was less than 10 mmHg in all cases after surgery, Clinical symptoms strikingly improved in three cases. An accurate surgical treatment could be achieved by choosing either myotomy-myectomy, mitral valve replacement or both in the setting of individual condition of each patients.

Abstract
To clone cDNAs of mRNA specifically expressed at the infection sites, we applied the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with pricking microinjection to barley coleoptile epidermis inoculated with powdery mildew pathogen. In essence, first-strand cDNAs were synthesized in situ the needle-pricked epidermal cells in which fungal haustoria had formed, and were subsequently amplified by PCR with synthetic primers. The amplified DNAs were subcloned into a plasmid vector for the construction of a cDNA library. The antisense RNAs were in vitro-transcribed from subcloned DNAs, labelled, and introduced into pathogen-invaded coleoptile epidermal cells by pricking microinjection. Target cell-specific cDNAs were identified by a specific in situ hybridization in the pathogen-invaded cells. This technique was also applied to the amplification and identification of cDNAs which were reverse-transcribed from mRNAs of targeted infection structures of the powdery mildew pathogens inoculated onto barley coleoptile epidermis.

Abstract
This paper presents further investigation of the properties of carbohydrate II in the cell adhesion molecule, contact site A, from Dictyostelium discoideum. A purified contact site A was digested with Achromobacter protease I to produce a 31-kDa fragment to which carbohydrate II was mainly bound and a 21-kDa fragment containing the NH2 terminus of contact site A, which was identified as Ala-Pro-Thr-Ile-Thr-Ala. The NH2 terminus of the 31-kDa fragment was Thr-Glu-Ala-Thr-Thr-Ser. It was estimated from the cDNA sequence data of contact site A that more than 20 Ser/Thr residues exist as target sites for the O-linked oligosaccharides in the 31-kDa fragment, but not for the N-linked oligosaccharides. These results suggest that carbohydrate II exists as clustered O-linked oligosaccharides in the COOH terminus of contact site A. The results of two-dimensional electrophoresis confirm that oligosaccharides of contact site A contain sialic acids. Immunoelectron microscopy was carried out to define the organelle in which O-glycosylation by carbohydrate II occurs and how carbohydrate II antigens are distributed on the cell surface. The results show that O-glycosylation can occur in the Golgi apparatus in D. discoideum as observed in other cells, although this O-glycosylation was inhibited by tunicamycin. Furthermore, gold particles were densely concentrated in cell-cell contact regions but sparsely distributed in noncontact regions.

Abstract
The cell of Fusarium oxysporum was digested with commercial Bacillus chitosanase. The chitosanase produced low molecular weight heterooligosaccharides consisting of GlcN and GlcNAc from the cell wall. A main component of the digestion products was identified as 2-amino-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyl- (1-->4)-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyranose. The chitosanase appeared to be more effective than Streptomyces griseus chitinase for cell wall digestion. Moreover, maltose was unexpectedly found in the digestion products, indicating that the cell wall contains alpha-1,4-linked glucan chain as a polysaccharide component.

Abstract
Fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for analyzing the structure of polyisoprenepolyols. Analyses in the positive and negative ion mode are complementary in that the former provides data on the number of hydroxy groups present while the latter provides data on the isoprenoid sequence. Some of this information is already available from routine FAB mass spectra. More detailed information is contained in the linked scan spectra.

Abstract
We determined the carbohydrate structures of contact site A from Dictyostelium discoideum. The carbohydrate moieties of contact site A were released by hydrazinolysis. Fractionation of the deacidified oligosaccharide mixture by Bio-Gel P-4 column chromatography revealed that it was composed of four major oligosaccharides. Their respective structures were determined by sequential exoglycosidase digestion. It is known that contact site A consists of two kinds of carbohydrates, I and II. Taking together the previous and the present results, it was deduced that carbohydrate I comprises N-linked oligosaccharides and carbohydrate II O-linked ones. Furthermore, the relative molar contents of GalNAc and GlcNAc in reducing terminal suggested that contact site A contains 67% of N-linked and 33% of O-linked oligosaccharides.

Abstract
It has been believed that Dictyostelium discoideum cell membranes contain no sialic acid. In this study, however, we found that contact site A, the cell adhesion molecule of D. discoideum, is a major glycoprotein containing sialic acids. This suggests that sialic acid in non-reducing terminal plays an important role in the cell adhesion in which contact site A is involved.

Abstract
The cell wall of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici was digested with chitinase to analyze the structure of its chitinous components. In spite of a similar acetylation degree of the cell wall components to that of 25-35% acetylated chitosan, only N-acetylglucosamine disaccharide [(GlcNAc)2] was obtained from chitinase hydrolyzate of the fungal cell wall by CM-Sephadex C-25 column chromatography, while (GlcNAc)2 and several types of deacetylated chitooligosaccharides were separated from that of 25-35% acetylated chitosan. The results indicate that N-acetylglucosamine residues in the polysaccharide chains of the fungal cell wall are most likely condensed into some region, while acetylated residues are more scattered in 25-35% acetylated chitosan.

Abstract
An exogenous chitinase from Streptomyces griseus was introduced into coleoptile epidermal cells of barley (Hordeum vulgare) by microinjection, and the effect of injected chitinase on the growth or development of the powdery mildew pathogen (Erysiphe graminis f. sp. hordei) was examined. Prior to microinjection, an enzymatic degradation of fungal haustorium, the organ taking nutrients from host plant cells, was examined by treating fixed coleoptile epidermis harboring haustoria with this enzyme. The result showed that haustoria were effectively digested by chitinase, suggesting the effectiveness of chitinase treatment for suppressing the fungal development. Microinjection of chitinase was conducted using living coleoptile tissues inoculated with the pathogen. Epidermal cells in which the haustorial primordia had been formed, or in which the haustoria had matured, were selected as targets for injection. The result clearly indicated that injection at the stage of primordium formation was effective in completely digesting haustoria and suppressing the subsequent formation of secondary hyphae of the pathogen. In microinjection after haustorial maturation, hyphal elongation was considerably suppressed though there was no detectable morphological change in the haustoria. Thus, the present study provides the experimental basis for genetically manipulating barley to produce transgenic plants resistant to the powdery mildew disease.

Abstract
Resistant lines of strawberry to the fungal wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. fragariae were selected strawberry plants regenerated from leaf-derived callus tissues. Regenerants were transplanted to a field heavily infested with this pathogen, and normally growing plants were selected as the putative resistant lines. Daughter plants produced vegetatively through runner formation of the lines were similarly tested in the pathogen-infested field over an additional three generations. Finally, two resistant lines were obtained from a total of 1,225 regenerants. The stable propagation of disease resistance in these lines was confirmed by directly inoculating the daughter plants with the pathogen and planting in a pathogen-infested soil. All of the control plants were efficiently infected and died within one month. The isolated plant lines grew and developed runners even after direct inoculation and produced daughter plants in this soil. Thus, the present study demonstrated the existence of somaclonal variation for disease resistance against a soil-borne fngal pathogen.

Abstract
A β-glucuronidase gene was introduced directly into barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Kobinkatagi) coleoptile cells by microinjection and transient expression of the gene was examined. Inner epidermis tissue of coleoptiles was excised and injected with plasmid DNA, pBI221, carrying cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter, β-glucuronidase gene, and a nopaline synthase polyadenylation region. Histochemical assay for β-glucuronidase production showed positive enzyme activity only in coleoptile cells injected with plasmid DNA. Expression of the β-glucuronidase gene was examined chronologically using honogenates of injected coleoptile tissues. Glucuronidase activity first appeared after 6 hr, reached the maximum level 24 hr after injection, and decreased afterwards. These results suggest that microinjection of coleoptile tissues may be a useful approach for the genetic engineering of Gramineae plants in which protoplast regeneration is difficult.

Abstract
Tobacco mosaic virus-resistant tobacco was selected in vitro using callus tissues induced from axillary buds of systemically infected tobacco plants. Callus lines in which the virus was continuously multiplying were first isolated and redifferentiated into shoots. By the procedure, non-diseased, healthy shoots were successfully isolated from diseased shoots, which showed typical mosaic symptoms of the virus, and regenerated into intact plants.These regenerated plants showed resistance to virus inoculation, and selfed progeny of virus-resistant regenerants segregated the resistance and susceptibility according to the Mendelian system.

Abstract
Bacterial wilt-resistant plants were obtained using a tomato tissue culture system. A virulent strain ofPseudomonas solanacearum secreted some toxic substances into the culture medium. Leaf explant-derived callus tissues which were resistant to these toxic substances in the culture filtrate were selectedin vitro and regenerated into plants. These plants expressed bacterial wilt resistance at the early infection stage to suppress or delay the growth of the inoculated bacteria. On the other hand, complete resistance was obtained in self-pollinated progeny of regenerants derived from non-selected callus tissues. These plants showed a high resistance when inoculated with this strain, and were also resistant when planted in a field infested with a different strain of the pathogen.

Abstract
An efficient method, called the culture plate method, was devised for microinjection of foreign materials into nuclei of tomato callus cells. The culture plate method, used in this study, is advantageous because cells suitable for microinjection can be selected microscopically and the injected cells subsequently cultured in the same plate. With this microinjection system, some foreign materials were injected into nuclei of callus cells without causing detrimental effects. Kanamycin-resistant callus clones were obtained 1 month after injection from single cells whose nuclei were microinjected with a NPT II DNA fragment of the pE2KX plasmid.

Abstract
Electron spin resonance (ESR) and electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) measurements were performed for the cation radicals obtained from the model compounds of alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherol (vitamin E) by oxidizing the tocopherol precursors in an AlCl3-CH2Cl2 solution. The proton hyperfine coupling constants and g-values were precisely determined. The ENDOR spectra of the cation radicals of alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta-tocopherol models in CH2Cl2 at -100 degrees C clearly show 10, 6, 6 and 12 different proton hyperfine couplings, respectively. By varying the temperature, the ESR spectra of the alpha- and delta-tocopherol model cations exhibit line-width alternation phenomena characteristic of the hindered rotation of the OH group. However, neither the beta- nor the gamma-tocopherol model cation radical ESR spectra show any sign of an alternating line-width effect. These results are interpreted by assuming that the beta- and gamma- tocopherol model cations are stabilized in the trans and cis conformations, respectively. On the other hand, both the alpha- and delta-tocopherol model cations exist as cis and trans isomers.

Abstract
The antioxidant activities of 4 tocopherols, tocol, and a water-soluble model analog of alpha-tocopherol were compared. Egg lecithin liposomes were used and oxidation was catalyzed by Fe2+-ascorbate. The activities decreased in the order alpha greater than beta greater than gamma greater than delta-tocopherol greater than tocol, in agreement with their potencies in vivo. The water-soluble analog was the least effective. Activity depended on the molar ratio of antioxidant to unsaturated lipid, with one molecule each of the alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta-tocopherol and tocol capable of protecting, respectively, 220, 120, 100, 30 and 20 molecules of polyunsaturated fatty acid. The mechanism of possible antioxidant effect of the compounds used is discussed.
