Abstract
BACKGROUND No previous study has examined the effect of dual-task training using changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as an outcome. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to examine the effects of simultaneous dual-task training of exercise and cognitive tasks on rCBF using SPECT in older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). METHODS In this non-randomized control trial, 40 older adults with aMCI participated from May 2016 to April 2018. Outpatients in the intervention group (n = 22) underwent 24 sessions (12 months) of dual-task training twice a month for 60 mins per session. Participants in the control group (n = 18) continued to have regular outpatient visits. The primary outcome was rCBF at baseline and after 12 months, which was compared in each group using the two-sample t-test. The secondary outcomes were the rate of reversion and conversion from aMCI after 12 months. RESULTS Of the 22 participants in the intervention group, six dropped out; therefore, 16 were included in the analysis. The intervention group showed more significant increases in rCBF in multiple regions, including the bilateral frontal lobes, compared with the control group. However, the rates of reversion or conversion from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were not significantly different. CONCLUSION Dual-task training for older adults with aMCI increased rCBF in the frontal gyrus but did not promote reversion from MCI to normal cognition. Future intervention studies, such as follow-up examinations after the intervention, are warranted to consider long-term prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the intensity and effectiveness of rehabilitation in acute stroke patients according to the severity of functional impairments in them. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 294 patients with acute hemispheric stroke admitted to three acute-care hospitals who subsequently underwent an inpatient rehabilitation program. Stroke severity was classified according to neurological deficits and trunk dysfunction. The following data were obtained from medical records: age, sex, stroke type, lesion side, hospitalization duration, initial functional status determined using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, rehabilitation start date, first day out of bed after admission, total treatment duration, total number of treatment sessions, rehabilitation implementation rate between start of rehabilitation and discharge, trunk control test and Barthel Index score on the first day out of bed after admission and discharge, and post-discharge outcomes. Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed with clusters categorized using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and trunk control test scores. Variables were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test, and Dunn's nonparametric comparison test was performed for post-hoc analysis to determine differences between clusters. RESULTS The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and trunk control test showed a significant correlation (r = -0.816, p < 0.01) using which cluster analysis identified three clusters. Rehabilitation showed a ceiling effect in patients with mild stroke and a floor effect in patients with severe stroke. CONCLUSION These results may guide the determination of rehabilitation intensity with reference to the severity of neurological deficits and trunk dysfunction.

Abstract
Introduction The regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) distribution can affect brain functioning, leading to amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) and mild Alzheimer disease (AD). This study aimed to clarify the detailed characteristics of rCBF distribution in patients with mild AD and aMCI. Methods This cross-sectional study from April 2015 to March 2018 included 103 older adults (mean age 78.9 years; 60% females), out of a total of 302 adults, and categorized them into 3 groups according to cognitive symptoms. The normal control (NC), aMCI, and mild AD groups included 20, 50, and 33 participants, respectively. The primary outcome was rCBF, which was compared among the 3 groups using a 2-sample t test without correction for multiple comparisons. Results In the aMCI group, the rCBF decreased in the bilateral parietal and left frontal association cortex and the bilateral premotor cortex (p < 0.01) but increased in the bilateral cerebellum (p < 0.01). In the mild AD group, the rCBF decreased in the bilateral parietal and occipital association cortex, the bilateral premotor cortex, the left temporal and frontal association cortex, and the left limbic lobe (p < 0.01). Conversely, the rCBF increased in some parts of the cerebellum, the bilateral frontal and temporal association cortex, the left occipital association cortex, and the right premotor cortex (p < 0.01). Conclusion Based on the analysis of the values obtained, it was inferred that the rCBF undergoes reduction and elevation in aMCI and AD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sitting ability during the acute phase after stroke is a useful indicator of functional outcomes; however, factors that affect this ability have not been evaluated. Therefore, this study aimed to identify and evaluate factors that affect sitting ability in the acute phase after stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicenter prospective cohort study included hemispheric stroke patients who underwent an inpatient rehabilitation program after acute stroke from five acute care hospitals. The effect of age, sex, lesion side, etiology, consciousness disorder, stroke and dementia history, stroke-related complications, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, hemiparalysis, turn-over movement from the supine position and sit-up movement, and Scale for Contraversive Pushing on the "remain sitting" item in the revised version of the Ability of Basic Movement Scale at the time of acute hospital discharge were investigated. Factors affecting sitting ability were identified using binomial logistic regression analysis. RESULTS We included 293 stroke patients. Age (odds ratio: 0.943, 95% confidence interval: 0.910-0.977, p=0.001), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (odds ratio: 0.862, 95% confidence interval: 0.811-0.916, p<0.001), and Scale for Contraversive Pushing score (odds ratio: 0.543, 95% confidence interval: 0.419-0.705, p<0.001) were identified as independent predictors of sitting ability at the time of hospital discharge (median; 23.0 days). CONCLUSIONS Older patients and those with high Scale for Contraversive Pushing and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores experienced difficulties in regaining sitting ability. These results may guide physical therapy for patients with impaired sitting ability due to hemispheric stroke.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between tongue muscle quality index, which was represented as tongue muscle pressure divided by tongue muscle mass, and swallowing speed in community-dwelling older women. METHODS The inclusion criteria for this cross-sectional study were that participants be community-dwelling older women aged 65 years and above without dysphagia. The exclusion criteria were stroke and Parkinson's disease that directly cause dysphagia. We measured tongue muscle thickness and maximum tongue pressure and the tongue muscle quality index, which was defined as the maximum tongue pressure divided by tongue muscle thickness. We investigated swallowing speed via a 100 ml water swallowing test. To assess the relationship between tongue muscle characteristics and swallowing speed, we performed stepwise multiple regression analysis. RESULTS Ninety-three participants were enrolled in this study (mean age: 84.2 ± 4.7 years). A stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that age (β = - 0.292, p < 0.01) and tongue muscle quality index (β = 0.267, p < 0.01) were related to swallowing speed. CONCLUSION We found that tongue muscle quality index was related to swallowing speed in community-dwelling older women. According to our findings, it is possible that the tongue muscle quality index is a useful parameter for assessing swallowing speed in older women without dysphagia.

Abstract
PURPOSE To examine the relationship between oral function and sarcopenia staging, including dynapenia and presarcopenia, in community-dwelling older adults. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed in community-dwelling older women aged 65 years and above. We measured oral muscle strength using maximum tongue pressure, oral muscle performance using oral diadochokinesis, and subjective swallowing difficulties using the Eating Assessment Tool. We measured skeletal muscle mass and function and other variables. All participants were divided into 4 groups (normal, presarcopenia, dynapenia, and sarcopenia) using an algorithm that operationally defines sarcopenia staging by skeletal muscle characteristics. A general linear model was used to analyze differences in oral function among the 4 groups. RESULTS A total of 245 participants were enrolled (median age [IQR], 81.0 [75.0-85.0]). The proportion of normal participants and those with presarcopenia, dynapenia, and sarcopenia was 48.6% (n = 119), 9.4% (n = 23), 30.2% (n = 74), and 11.8% (n = 29), respectively. The sarcopenia and dynapenia groups had significantly lower maximum tongue pressure and oral diadochokinesis than the normal group. In the multivariate analysis, after adjusting for age, maximum tongue pressure and oral diadochokinesis were found to be significantly lower in the sarcopenia and dynapenia groups than in the normal group. CONCLUSIONS In this study, participants with sarcopenia and dynapenia showed low oral function, and similar trends were indicated for oral function and skeletal muscle according to progression of sarcopenia staging. Future research should clarify the characteristics of swallowing-related muscles, including muscle mass, strength, and performance at each sarcopenia stage.

Abstract
Adrenomedullin (AM) is a potent vasodilating peptide having a variety of pharmacological properties mainly in respect to vascular pathophysiology. We have previously demonstrated that angiotensin II (Ang II) or natriuretic peptides have influence on the expression of tissue factor (TF) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in vascular endothelial cells. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effects of AM on TF and PAI-1 mRNA and protein expression in endothelial cells. As a result, AM inhibited Ang II-induced TF and PAI-1 mRNA expression in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Because the expression of TF and PAI-1 mRNA induced by Ang II was attenuated by the increase of intracellular concentrations of cAMP by forskolin and 8-bromo-cAMP and because AM increased the intracellular level of cAMP in rat aortic endothelial cells, it was indicated that the inhibitory effect of AM on the expressions of TF and PAI-1 was mainly mediated by the cAMP-dependent signal transduction. Furthermore, the inhibitory effect of AM on TF and PAI-1 expression was partly attenuated by an NO synthase inhibitor, N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester. In conclusion, AM is shown to contribute to the regulation of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis by vascular endothelial cells mainly via the cAMP pathway.

Abstract
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, or 5-HT), released from activated platelets, not only accelerates aggregation of platelets but also is known to promote mitosis, migration, and contraction of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). These effects are considered to contribute to thrombus formation and atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 5-HT on the expressions of coagulative and fibrinolytic factors in rat aortic endothelial cells. Endothelial cells were stimulated with various concentrations of 5-HT (0.1 approximately 10 microM), and the expressions of tissue factor (TF), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and tissue-type plasminogen activator (TPA) messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were evaluated by Northern blot analysis. The activities of TF and PAI-1 were also measured. TF and PAI-1 mRNA were increased significantly in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. However, TFPI and TPA mRNA expression did not change. The inductions of TF and PAI-1 mRNAs were inhibited by a 5-HT1/5-HT2 receptor antagonist (methiothepin) and a selective 5-HT2A receptor antagonist (MCI-9042). These results indicate that 5-HT increases procoagulant activity and reduces fibrinolytic activities of endothelial cells through the 5-HT2A receptor. It was concluded that the modulation of procoagulant and hypofibrinolytic activities of endothelial cells by 5-HT synergistically promotes thrombus formation at the site of vessel injury with the platelet aggregation, VSMC contraction, and VSMC proliferation.

Abstract
Not only angiotensin II (Ang II) but also other angiotensin metabolites such as angiotensin I (Ang I), angiotensin III (Ang III), angiotensin IV, or angiotensin 1-7 have recently been reported to have various activities. Few data, however, are available on the regulation of thrombus formation. In this study, we investigated the effects of angiotensin metabolites on the mRNA expression of tissue factor (TF), tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), and tissue type plasminogen activator (TPA) in cultured rat aortic endothelial cells. None of the used angiotensin metabolites altered TFPI or TPA mRNA expression levels. Ang I, Ang II, and Ang III made TF and PAI-1 mRNA inductions which were inhibited by an selective antagonist of angiotensin II type 1 receptors. These metabolites made TF predominant to TFPI or PAI-1 to TPA, and could render endothelial cells thrombogenic.

Abstract
In the present study, we demonstrate that brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) interact with angiotensin II (Ang II) in regulative blood coagulation and fibrinolysis by suppressing the expressions of both tissue factor (TF) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) induced by Ang II. The expressions of TF and PAI-1 mRNA were analyzed by northern blotting methods, and the activities of TF on the surface of rat aortic endothelial cells (RAECs) and PAI-1 in the culture media were respectively measured by chromogenic assay. Both BNP and CNP suppressed the expressions of TF and PAI-1 mRNA induced by Ang II in a time- and concentration-dependent manner via cGMP cascade, which suppressions were accompanied by respective decrease in activities of TF and PAI-1. However, neither the expression of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) nor tissue-type plasminogen activator (TPA) mRNA was affected by the treatment of BNP and CNP.

Abstract
This study assessed the effect of sublingual nitroglycerin administered before rest imaging in the technetium-99m (99mTc) tetrofosmin exercise and rest same day protocols to determine whether the use of nitroglycerin improved the detection of fill-in the rest single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images 3 hours after peak exercise. Twenty-one patients with old myocardial infarction underwent repeated 99mTc-tetrofosmin exercise/rest same day protocols with and without the administration of sublingual nitroglycerin (0.3 mg) 5 min before the second injection of 99mTc-tetrofosmin for rest SPECT imaging. Twelve of these patients also underwent ordinary exercise/redistribution 201T1 SPECT imaging. The control study protocol images showed decreased uptake of 99mTc-tetrofosmin on exercise in 157 of 420 segments and the presence of fill-in at rest in 58 segments. Images obtained with administration of nitroglycerin showed decreased uptake of 99mTc-tetrofosmin on exercise in 163 of 420 segments and fill-in in 74 segments at rest. The frequency of fill-in was greater in the nitroglycerin protocol than in the control protocol (p < 0.05). The segments were scored as different grades according to 99mTc-tetrofosmin uptake between 2 protocols. Fill-in was only present or more remarkable in 31 segments in the nitroglycerin protocol than in the control protocol. Fill-in was only present or more remarkable in 10 segments in the control protocol than in the nitroglycerin protocol. In the nitroglycerin protocol, the mean defect score of the exercise images, calculated from the bull's eye image automatically, was higher than that of the rest images (121 +/- 40 vs 94 +/- 53, p < 0.01). The mean severity score of the exercise images, also calculated from the bull's eye image automatically, was likewise higher than that of the rest images (691 +/- 382 vs 524 +/- 431, p < 0.01), whereas the mean severity score of the stress images and rest images in the control protocol was not significantly different. Moreover, the mean defect score and severity score of the rest images from the nitroglycerin protocol were significantly lower than those obtained from the control protocol (p < 0.05). Sublingual nitroglycerin administration before the injection of 99mTc-tetrofosmin at the rest study in the one day exercise/rest studies enhanced fill-in, so may enhance the detection of viable myocardium, allowing more informed decisions regarding cardiac revascularization in patients with chronic coronary artery disease.

Abstract
A 54 year old man complained exertional dyspnea and palpitation since November 1989. As he was diagnosed with marked anemia, leukocytosis and thrombocytopenia by his work place doctor, he was admitted to our hospital. Acute myelogenous leukemia was diagnosed based on laboratory findings. BHAC-DMP, BHAC-MEP and A triple V therapies were only partially effective. Fine nodular shadows in all lung fields and a semicircular mass in the right lower lobe next to the thoracic vertebra were evident on the chest X-P since the end of March 1990. He was treated with antibiotics and amphotericin B but the abnormal lung shadows did not disappear. He had sudden onset of paraplegia and loss of all sensation below Th6 on May 1. Aparavertebral mass in the right lower lobe was detected by CT and MRI, for which radiotherapy was performed but without improvement. He died of respiratory failure on May 12. Autopsy showed that the semicircular paravertebral mass continued to the main pulmonary vein and epidural area of the thoracic cord (Th6-8). Microscopically, mucormycosis was found. Necrosis due to mucor embolism was found in the thoracic cord. It is usually difficult to diagnose mucormycosis in immunocompromised patients while they are alive. It is important to suspect mucormycosis if any infarction symptoms or infections resistant to antibiotics develop in immunocompromised patients.

Abstract
We investigated megakaryocytic differentiation in a newly-established Ph1-positive leukemic cell line, MC3, which showed tri-lineage immunophenotypes (myeloid antigens2+, CD19(1+) and CD41a1+) and was positive for CD34 and CD38. TPA induced MC3 cells to differentiate to an early stage of megakaryocyte lineage exhibiting an increase in the expression of platelet glycoproteins (GP) IIb/IIIa (CD41a), and an increase in cell size and nuclear ploidy. TPA treatment also enhanced the expression of GPIIb mRNA, and induced the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and its receptor mRNAs, while it did not induce transcripts of the genes IL-11 and mpl ligand, and further decreased the transcript of the mpl gene. Consistent with these findings, MC3 cells treated with TPA showed an increased expression of GATA-1, but not GATA-3 transcripts, whereas those without TPA treatment expressed only the GATA-2 transcript. These results provide an insight into the study for the regulatory mechanism of megakaryocytopoiesis and leukemic cell differentiation.

Abstract
In order to determine the relevance of the p53 tumor suppressor gene mutations in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), we analyzed the p53 gene in genomic DNA of 18 unselected cases of AML by polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and direct sequencing. We detected three cases (16.7%) with the p53 gene mutations showing only the mutant alleles; the high incidence in cases with loss of a whole chromosome 17 (two of three) contrasted with the low incidence in cases without abnormalities of chromosome 17 (one of 15). These cases containing the mutations of the p53 gene showed a poor prognosis. Although we analyzed a rather small series of patients, these findings suggest that the p53 gene mutations might be involved in the progression and prognosis of at least some cases of AML.

Abstract
A new Ph1-positive leukemic cell line (MC3) expressing the P210bcr/abl oncoprotein was established from a patient with CML in blast crisis. The MC3 cells showed the trilineage phenotype of myeloid, lymphoid (CD19) and megakaryocytoid lineages, and had a proliferative response to rhIL-1 and rhIL-3 in the serum-free culture. These results and the expression of CD34 indicated that the MC3 cells have characteristics of hematopoietic progenitor cells. Recently, it has been documented that alterations of the p53 gene in leukemic cells are frequently detected during the blast crisis of CML. The MC3 cells contained the altered p53 gene. In addition, the original leukemic cells showed the point-mutational activation of the N-ras gene and an additional chromosomal abnormality inv(3q), but the MC3 cells contained no such abnormalities, indicating that not all of the original leukemic cells had these abnormalities. Thus, the MC3 cell line may provide several insights into investigations of the blast crisis in CML as well as hematopoietic progenitor cells.

Abstract
We describe a case of Philadelphia-negative essential thrombocythemia in whom bcr-abl hybrid messenger RNA was detected. The patient suffered from frequent splenic infarctions and myelofibrosis. Interestingly, a transformation to acute leukemia which was commonly seen in patients with bcr-abl-positive chronic myelogenous leukemia did not occur until he died from heart failure due to severe anemia 8 years after the diagnosis. The heterogeneity of bcr-abl-positive thrombocythemia is emphasized.

Abstract
Herbimycin A, a benzoquinoid ansamycin antibiotic, has been shown to reverse the oncogenic phenotype of p60v-src transformed cells because of the inhibition of src protein tyrosine kinase. We previously demonstrated that herbimycin A displayed antitumor activity on the in vitro growth of Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia cells and BCR/ABL-transfected murine hematopoietic FDC-P2 cells through the inhibition of BCR/ABL protein tyrosine kinase. In this study, the transformed FDC-P2 cells were demonstrated to be tumorigenic in syngeneic DBA/2 mice. The intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of the transformed tumor cells into DBA/2 mice induced infiltrations of abdominal organs, and then all of the mice died within time periods proportional to the cell numbers of inoculation. In mice that received an i.p. inoculation with greater than 1 x 10(5) cells, in vivo administration of herbimycin A by i.p. injection inhibited tumor formation and significantly prolonged survival time, and further, in mice inoculated with 1 x 10(4) cells, herbimycin A completely suppressed the in vivo growth of transformant FDC-P2 cells and brought about a complete remission. The present study revealed the in vivo efficacy of herbimycin A in mice bearing BCR/ABL-transfected cells.

Abstract
We investigated the breakpoints of the bcr gene in 46 Ph1-positive CML cases by Southern blot analysis of bcr rearrangement, and in 17 CML cases by a combination of Southern blot analysis and RT-PCR. By Southern blot, the breakpoint was not identified on M-bcr in three CML cases, of which one case showed the P210-type bcr/abl transcript and two cases showed the ALL-type (P190-type) bcr/abl transcript with or without P210 transcript. Later two cases showed unique hematological profiles such as thrombocytosis, mild myelofibrosis, and relative resistance to alkylating agents. Therefore, the present study suggests that expression of the P190-type transcript may affect clinical and hematological findings in CML.

Abstract
A new Ph1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line, designated as ALL/MIK, has been developed from a patient with Ph1-positive acute leukemia. The ALL/MIK cells showed an immunophenotype of common ALL with rearranged JH and Jk genes. The ALL/MIK cells showed no M-bcr rearrangement using Southern blot analysis with either 3' or 5' M-bcr probes, but had the bcr gene rearrangement on bcr-2 within the first intron of the bcr gene. Consistent with this result, the reverse transcriptase-dependent polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay revealed that the ALL/MIK cells contained the transcript derived fusion of the first exon of bcr gene and the second exon of abl gene. Although the ALL/MIK cells were defined as early pre-B cells by immunophenotypical and genotypical analyses, they were capable of differentiating into monocytoid lineage by when cultured with TPA. Furthermore, another Ph1-positive ALL cell line, (TOM-1), was investigated for its ability to differentiate to monocytoid lineage. TOM-1 was also induced to monocytoid lineage by TPA. Thus, the present study suggested that the leukemic transformation in some Ph1-positive ALL may occur at the level of multipotential hematopoietic cells capable of differentiating towards lymphoid and myelo-monocytoid lineage.

Abstract
We investigated whether antisense oligodeoxynucleotides complementary to bcr/abl mRNA or protein kinase antagonists display antitumor activity on Ph1-positive leukemia cell lines. bcr/abl antisense oligomers showed inhibitory effects on the in vitro growth of Ph1-positive leukemia cell lines in liquid culture, and further displayed an inhibitory effect on transformed murine hematopoietic cells using transfection with a retroviral vector expressing P210bcr/abl oncoprotein. However, in vitro treatment with a bcr/abl antisense oligomer did not completely abolish the expression of bcr/abl mRNA and did not display the desired "killing effect" on Ph1-positive leukemia cells. On the other hand, investigation of the effect on Ph1-positive leukemia cells by various types of protein kinase antagonists revealed that herbimycin A, a protein tyrosine kinase antagonist, displays preferential and remarkable suppression of the growth of Ph1-positive leukemia cells and P210bcr/abl associated transformed cells by virtue of suppressing bcr/abl protein tyrosine kinase activity. These results may provide important future insights in developing a new category of antitumor therapy by targeting oncogene products.

Abstract
Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) is detected in more than 95% of chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and approximately 20% of adult acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). In order to discriminate Ph1-positive ALL from Ph1-positive CML as a clinical entity, I studied on biological and genetic characteristics of Ph1-positive ALL cells. Two cases out of 11 Ph1-positive ALL showed hybrid leukemia phenotypes; in one hybrid case simultaneous proliferation of lymphoid and myeloid blast cells was observed and contained rearranged alleles of heavy chain genes, thus indicating that both blast cells might originate from a common precursor. Two Ph1-positive ALL cell lines (TOM-1 and ALL-MIK) were established from two patients and were investigated for their differentiation potential in vitro. Both cell lines showed the potency to differentiate into monocytic lineage cells, thus suggesting that these Ph1-positive ALL cells might reside at the stage of multipotent progenitor cell along hematopoietic cell differentiation. As to Ph1-chromosome, 4 out of 9 Ph1-positive ALL cases showed rearrangements within the classical sequence (M-bcr), similar to those in CML cases. Two out of 5 cases without rearrangement of M-bcr showed breakpoints in the first intron of the BCR gene. In the rest of 3 cases, BCR-ABL rearrangement was not detected by Southern analysis. However, a leukemic cell line established from one of these patients (TOM-1) were contained P190bcr-abl mRNA as analyzed through RT-PCR. Thus, breakpoints of the BCR gene in Ph1-positive ALL cases were heterogenous, in contrast to those of CML. Then, I investigated whether or not the activation of transforming genes other than BCR-ABL might be involved in pathogenesis of Ph1-positive ALL. Three out of 15 Ph1-negative ALL cases showed the mutations of RAS gene by the PCR. However, no activated oncogene was detected in Ph1-positive ALL cases by both DNA transfection assay and PCR.

Abstract
Seventeen patients with myeloproliferative disorders and one patient with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMMoL) were treated with ranimustine++ (MCNU), and the efficacy was evaluated. MCNU was given intravenously by drip infusion at an usual dose of 100 approximately 150 mg with intervals arranged according to the counts of peripheral blood cells. A complete remission was achieved in all 10 patients with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in chronic phase. In three of patients with polycythemia vera (PV) the excellent effects were obtained, and the other 2 cases showed moderate effect. An excellent effect was obtained in both 2 patients with essential thrombocythemia (ET). A patient with CMMoL revealed partial remission. The overall efficacy rate was 100%. The cases with CML needed more long term and much more dose of the drug in order to get remission compared with PV and ET. After remission in both PV and ET, well controlled states were maintained for a relatively long period with no additional administration. In CMMoL, MCNU combined with 6-mercaptopurine also showed remarkable anti-tumor effects. It suggests that MCNU may be one of the useful drugs for the treatment of CMMoL. The side effects observed with MCNU were a slight degree of nausea and vomiting (28%), however they showed no trouble on carrying out the therapy.

Abstract
A 47-year-old female, referred to Kushiro Rohsai Hospital because of upper abdominal pain on January 10, 1986, was found to have a gallbladder stone on X-ray examination of her abdomen. On admission, the occult blood found in her stool was strongly positive and a barium enema and a colonoscopy showed an elevated lesion in the caecum. Subsequently, a diagnosis of a colonic cancer was made after a biopsy. Sonography and CT scans revealed a gallbladder stone and a right suprarenal mass 4 cm in diameter. At surgery, this gallbladder stone was found, as was a Borrman II type tumor in the caecum. The surface of an adrenal mass was hard and smooth and a cut of this surface showed a yellowish gray color. Microscopic examination revealed adrenal cortical tissue beneath the capsule with a mixture of hematopoietic and adipose tissue. These findings were compatible with myelolipoma. Postoperatively, a bone marrow aspiration was performed, but no definite abnormality was detected.

Abstract
The anti-tumor therapy followed by tumor lysis syndrome may cause the metabolic disorders including hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia and hyperuricemia. It should be known that it occurs frequently in lymphoproliferative diseases, especially in Burkitt's lymphoma. Two cases of T-ALL accompanied by this syndrome, from which the patients were recovered, at the induction therapy of the first complete remission are reported here. Case 1. A 28-year-old man received VP therapy under the diagnosis of T-ALL with massive hepatosplenomegaly and bilateral enlarged kidneys. During the therapy, metabolic disorders with both renal failure and ventricular tachycardia happened. They were resolved by certain series of treatments. The patient was brought to a complete remission with normal size of liver, spleen and kidneys. Case 2. A boy aged 15 having received the intrasubarachnoidal infusion of MTX and 1-Ad-VP therapy under the diagnosis of T-ALL accompanied by this syndrome which was improved by an appropriate treatment, and the patient was lead to the remission. The risk factors of this syndrome, such as 1-high drug sensitivity of the tumor; 2-renal dysfunction; 3-rapid cytokinetics of the tumor cell; 4-bigger size of the tumor, as well as the preventive treatment of this syndrome are reviewed.

Abstract
bcr gene rearrangement and c-abl gene expression were analyzed in a patient with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1)-positive hybrid acute leukemia with simultaneous proliferation of lymphoid and myeloid blasts. These data were compared with those from a patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) in mixed crisis. The leukemic cells of both patients showed immuno-phenotypic profiles such as non-T, non-B common ALL with some MPO-positive leukemic cells and rearranged JH genes. On analysis of molecular events associated with the Ph1 chromosome, the leukemic cells of a patient with CML in mixed crisis showed bcr rearrangement and an 8.5-kb bcr-abl chimeric mRNA, but those of a patient with Ph1-positive hybrid acute leukemia showed no 8.5-kb bcr-abl mRNA, as previously reported in a number of Ph1-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) cases. These results revealed that the molecular event found in Ph1-positive ALL is not only restricted to lymphoid lineage but may play an important role in the proliferation of the myeloid lineage.

Abstract
A 46-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of liver dysfunction. She had been suffering from right hypochondralgia for two months. On admission, Laboratory data indicated extrahepatic cholestasis. Both X-ray and endoscopic examinations confirm a submucosal tumor of the papilla of Vater, and surgical diagnosis was performed. Histologically, the tumor was diagnosed as carcinoid, and a further immunohistochemical study by the PAP method using antisomatostatin serum indicated somatostatinoma. Electron microscopically, the tumor cells were found to contain numerous intracellular granules, which looked like D cells in the pancreatic islet. Somatostatinoma in the intestinal tract has been reported in only 13 cases, in only one of which was it located in the papilla of Vater. That means that, this is the second case so far.
