Abstract
The velocity distribution function is a statistical description that connects particle kinetics and macroscopic parameters in many-body systems. Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy is utilized to measure the local velocity distribution function in spatially inhomogeneous plasmas. However, the analytic form of such a function for the system of interest is not always clear under the intricate factors in non-equilibrium states. Here, we propose a novel approach to select the valid form of the velocity distribution function based on Bayesian statistics. We formulate the Bayesian inference of ion velocity distribution function and apply it to LIF spectra locally observed at several positions in a linear magnetized plasma. We demonstrate evaluating the spatial inhomogeneity by verifying each analytic form of the local velocity distribution function. Our approach is widely applicable to experimentally establish the velocity distribution function in plasmas and fluids, including gases and liquids.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is used to evaluate the glucose metabolic rates of cancers. Several studies have reported that high FDG uptake is predictive of poor prognosis and aggressive features in patients with breast cancer. FDG uptake is influenced by many factors, including inflammation. In this study, we investigated the relationship between FDG uptake and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which is an indicator of systemic inflammation. Patients and Methods: We retrospectively investigated the cases of 143 consecutive invasive ductal carcinoma patients who had undergone surgery and FDG-PET preoperatively.PET was evaluated using standardized uptake value max (SUVmax). The median SUVmax was 2.5 (range 0-10.5). Thus, we divided the cases into two groups based on the value of SUVmax; low (<2.5) and high (≥2.5). The relationships between SUVmax and clinicopathological features, including NLR, were investigated. Results: Among the143 patients, 73 (51.0%) had high SUVmax in the primary tumor. The analysis revealed that large tumor size (p<0.001), high nuclear grade (p<0.001), the presence of lymphovascular invasion (p<0.001), CRP (p=0.046) and high NLR (p<0.001) were significantly associated with high SUVmax in the primary tumor. There were associations between SUVmax and NLR (r=0.323, p<0.001). Among the 70 cases with low SUVmax, there was no recurrent disease, while 6 cases among the 73 cases with high SUVmax had disease recurrence. It is interesting to note that the group with high SUVmax and low NLR had no recurrent disease. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to describe the relationship between FDG uptake and NLR in breast cancer. The present study demonstrated that the finding of preoperative high FDG uptake in breast cancer may be reflective of poor prognosis and that high NLR may be predictive of aggressive features among patients with breast cancer. On the other hand, among breast cancer patients with high SUVmax in the primary tumor, it will be useful to identify the subset of patients with low NLR in order to improve prognostic accuracy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is used to evaluate the glucose metabolic rates of cancers. Several studies have reported that high FDG uptake is predictive of poor prognosis and aggressive features in patients with breast cancer (BC). FDG-uptake is influenced by many factors including inflammation. In this study, we investigated the relationship between FDG uptake and immunological factors, including degrees of stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), CD8 and programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) in ER positive/HER2 negative (ER+/HER2-) BC. No published study, to our knowledge, has assessed the association between FDG uptake and PD-L1 in BC cases, even though both represent prognosis. Methods: Invasive carcinoma tissues of 79 ER+/HER2- BC patients who underwent surgery without preoperative therapy were examined. PD-L1, CD8 and TILs expression were evaluated by immunohistochemically (IHC) method. The evaluation of PET was determined by standardized uptake value max (SUVmax). Multivariate linear regression analysis, including expression of PD-L1, CD8 and TILs, was performed to identify independent variable correlation with SUVmax. Results: Among the 79 ER+/HER2- BC (T1-4, N0-2, M0) patients, the analysis revealed that PD-L1 (P=0.005), lymphovascular invasion (P=0.011), large tumor size (p=0.001), lymph node meatstasis (P=0.010), and high nuclear grade (P=0.011) and premenopasal status (P=0.014) were significantly associated with high SUVmax in the primary tumor. To define predictive value for the expression of PD-L1, SUVmax cut offwas determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis; low (<3.0) and high (≥3.0). Among the 30 cases with high SUVmax, 10 cases (33.3%) had PD-L1 positive expression in the primary tumor, while only 2 (4.1%) of the 49 cases with low SUVmax had PD-L1 positive expression in the primary tumor. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that the finding of preoperative FDG uptake is associated with the expression of PD-L1 in ER+/HER2- BC. In light of our results, FDG uptake may be predictive of the expression of PD-L1 and may be reflective of immunological features as well as prognostic features among patients with ER+/HER2- BC.

Abstract
The large variation in individual response to infection with Rift Valley fever virus (RVFV) suggests that host genetic determinants play a role in determining virus-induced disease outcomes. These genetic factors are still unknown. The systemic inoculation of mice with RVFV reproduces major pathological features of severe human disease, notably the hepatitis and encephalitis. A genome scan performed on 546 (BALB/c × MBT) F2 progeny identified three quantitative trait loci (QTLs), denoted Rvfs-1 to Rvfs-3, that were associated with disease susceptibility in MBT/Pas mice. Non-parametric interval-mapping revealed one significant and two suggestive linkages with survival time on chromosomes 2 (Rvfs-1), 5 (Rvfs-3) and 11 (Rvfs-2) with respective logarithm of odds (LOD) scores of 4.58, 2.95 and 2.99. The two-part model, combining survival time and survival/death, identified one significant linkage to Rvfs-2 and one suggestive linkage to Rvfs-1 with respective LOD scores of 5.12 and 4.55. Under a multiple model, with additive effects and sex as a covariate, the three QTLs explained 8.3% of the phenotypic variance. Sex had the strongest influence on susceptibility. The contribution of Rvfs-1, Rvfs-2 and Rvfs-3 to survival time of RVFV-infected mice was further confirmed in congenic mice.

Abstract
Absence epilepsy is a common form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy whose etiology is poorly understood because of genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. The inbred mouse strain C3H/He exhibits spontaneous absence seizures characterized by spike and wave discharges (SWD) on the electroencephalogram concomitant with behavioral arrest. Previous studies using the C3H/HeJ (HeJ) substrain identified a mutation in the Gria4 gene as a major susceptibility locus. In the present study, we found that two closely related substrains C3H/HeOuJ (OuJ) and C3H/HeSnJ, which have a similar SWD incidence as HeJ, do not contain the Gria4 mutation. Further analysis of backcross mice segregating OuJ and C57BL/6J alleles shows that, unlike the HeJ substrain, OuJ does not have a major locus for SWD but has suggestive loci at best that would explain only a fraction of the phenotypic variance. These results illustrate how the genetic etiology of a common neurological disorder can differ between substrains with similar phenotypes. We infer that all C3H strains are sensitized to SWD and that additional mutations affecting SWD arose or were fixed independently in the years since the substrains diverged.

Abstract
A ballooning perturbation in a toroidally rotating tokamak is expanded by square-integrable eigenfunctions of an eigenvalue problem associated with ballooning modes in a static plasma. Especially a weight function is chosen such that the eigenvalue problem has only the discrete spectrum. The eigenvalues evolve in time owing to toroidal rotation shear, resulting in a countably infinite number of crossings among them. The crossings cause energy transfer from an unstable mode to the infinite number of stable modes; such transfer works as the stabilization mechanism of the ballooning mode.

Abstract
We report evidence for direct CP violation in the decay B0-->K+pi(-) with 253 fb(-1) of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) collider. Using 275x10(6) BB pairs we observe a B-->K+/-pi(-/+) signal with 2140+/-53 events. The measured CP violating asymmetry is A(CP)(K+pi(-))=-0.101+/-0.025(stat)+/-0.005(syst), corresponding to a significance of 3.9sigma including systematics. We also search for CP violation in the decays B+-->K+pi(0) and B+-->pi(+)pi(0). The measured CP violating asymmetries are A(CP)(K+pi(0))=0.04+/-0.05(stat)+/-0.02(syst) and A(CP)(pi(+)pi(0))=-0.02+/-0.10(stat)+/-0.01(syst), corresponding to the intervals -0.05<A(CP)(K+pi(0))<0.13 and -0.18<A(CP)(pi(+)pi(0))<0.14 at 90% confidence level.

Abstract
We report the first observation of the charmless hyperonic B decay, B0-->pLambda(pi)(-), using a 78 fb(-1) data sample recorded on the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. The measured branching fraction is B(B0-->pLambda(pi)(-))=(3.97(+1.00)(-0.80)+/-0.56)x10(-6). Searches for B0-->pLambda(K)- and pSigma(0)pi(-) yield no significant signals and we set 90% confidence-level upper limits of B(B0-->pLambda(K)-)<8.2x10(-7) and B(B0-->pSigma(0)pi(-))<3.8x10(-6).

Abstract
We report studies of the Cabibbo-suppressed decay B+/--->D(CP)K+/-, where D(CP) denotes CP eigenstates of the D0-D0; system. The analysis is based on a 29.1 fb(-1) sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e(+)e(-) storage ring. We measure ratios of branching fractions, relative to Cabibbo-favored B+/--->D(CP)pi(+/-), of B(B--->D1K-)/B(B--->D1pi(-))=0.125+/-0.036+/-0.010 and B(B--->D2K-)/B(B--->D2pi(-))=0.119+/-0.028+/-0.006; the index 1 (2) denotes the CP=+1 (-1) eigenstate. We also extract the partial rate asymmetries for B+/--->D(CP)K+/-, finding A(1)=0.29+/-0.26+/-0.05 and A(2)=-0.22+/-0.24+/-0.04.

Abstract
We report the measurement of the charmed baryonic decay B(0)-->Lambda(+)(c)p with a branching fraction of (2.19(+0.56)(-0.49)+/-0.32+/-0.57)x10(-5) and a statistical significance of 5.8 sigma. The errors are statistical, systematic, and the error of the Lambda(+)(c)-->pK(-)pi(+) decay branching fraction. This is the first observation of a two-body baryonic B decay. The analysis is based on 78.2 fb(-1) of data accumulated at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e(+)e(-) collider.

Abstract
We report measurements of branching fractions for charged and neutral B-->eta(c)K decays where the eta(c) meson is reconstructed in the K(0)(S)K+/-pi(-/+), K+K-pi(0), K(*0)K-pi(+), and pp; decay channels. The neutral B0 channel is a CP eigenstate and can be used to measure the CP violation parameter sin(2phi(1). We also report the first observation of the B0-->eta(c)K(*0) mode. The results are based on an analysis of 29.1 fb(-1) of data collected by the Belle detector at KEKB.

Abstract
We report the first measurement of the branching fraction for the inclusive decay B-->X(s)l(+)l(-), where l is either an electron or a muon, and X(s) is a hadronic recoil system that contains an s quark. We analyzed a data sample of 65.4 x 10(6) B meson pairs collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) asymmetric-energy collider. We find B(B-->X(s)l(+)l(-))=[6.1 +/-1.4(stat) +1.4-1.1(syst)] x 10(-6) for dilepton masses greater than 0.2 GeV/c(2).

Abstract
We present a measurement of the B0-Bmacr;(0) mixing parameter Deltam(d) using neutral B meson pairs in a 29.1 fb(-1) data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. We exclusively reconstruct one neutral B meson in the semileptonic B0-->D(*-)l(+)nu decay mode and identify the flavor of the accompanying B meson from its decay products. From the distribution of the time intervals between the two flavor-tagged B meson decay points, we obtain Deltam(d)=(0.494+/-0.012+/-0.015) ps(-1), where the first error is statistical and the second error is systematic.

Abstract
We report the first observation of a B meson decay that is not accessible by a direct spectator process. The channel B(0)-->D(+)(s)K- is found in a sample of 85 x 10(6) BB; events, collected with the Belle detector at KEKB, with a branching fraction B(B(0)-->D(+)(s)K-)=(4.6(+1.2)(-1.1)+/-1.3) x 10(-5). We also obtain evidence for the B0-->D(+)(s)pi(-) decay with branching fraction B(B0-->D(+)(s)pi(-))=(2.4(+1.0)(-0.8)+/-0.7) x 10(-5). This value may be used to extract a model-dependent value of |V(ub)|.

Abstract
We report observations of radiative B meson decays into the K+pi(-)gamma and K+pi(-)pi(+)gamma final states. In the B0-->K+pi(-)gamma channel, we present evidence for decays via an intermediate tensor meson state with a branching fraction of B(B0-->K(*)(2)(1430)(0)gamma)=[1.3+/-0.5(stat)+/-0.1(syst)]x10(-5). We measure the branching fraction B(B+-->K+pi(-)pi(+)gamma)=[2.4+/-0.5(stat) +0.4-0.2(syst)]x10(-5), in which the B+-->K(*0)pi(+)gamma and B+-->K+rho(0)gamma channels dominate. The analysis is based on a data set of 29.4 fb(-1) recorded by the Belle experiment at the KEKB collider.

Abstract
We report the first observation of the charmless two-body mode B+/--->omegaK+/- decay, and a new measurement of the branching fraction for the B+/--->omegapi(+/-) decay. The measured branching fractions are B(B+/--->omegaK+/-)=(9.2(+2.6)(-2.3)+/-1.0)x10(-6) and B(B+/--->omegapi(+/-))=(4.2(+2.0)(-1.8)+/-0.5)x10(-6). We also measure the partial rate asymmetry of B+/--->omegaK+/- decays and obtain A(CP)=-0.21+/-0.28+/-0.03. The results are based on a data sample of 29.4 fb(-1) collected on the Upsilon(4S) resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) collider.

Abstract
The B meson decay modes B-->Dpp; and B-->D(*)pp; have been studied using 29.4 fb(-1) of data collected with the Belle detector at KEKB. The B;(0)-->D(0)pp; and B;(0)-->D(*0)pp; decays have been observed for the first time with branching fractions B(B;(0)-->D(0)pp;)=(1.18+/-0.15+/-0.16)x10(-4) and B(B;(0)-->D(*0)pp;)=(1.20(+0.33)(-0.29)+/-0.21)x10(-4). No signal has been found for the B+-->D(+)pp; and B+-->D(*+)pp; decay modes, and the corresponding upper limits at 90% C.L. are presented.

Abstract
We report the observation of prompt J/psi via double cc; production from the e+e- continuum. In this process one cc; pair fragments into a J/psi meson while the remaining pair either produces a charmonium state or fragments into open charm. Both cases have been experimentally observed. We find cross sections of sigma[e+e- -->J/psieta(c)(gamma)]xB(eta(c)-->>or=4 charged)=(0.033(+0.007)(-0.006)+/-0.009) pb and sigma(e+e- -->J/psiD(*+)X)=(0.53(+0.19)(-0.15)+/-0.14) pb and infer sigma(e+e- -->J/psicc;)/sigma(e+e- -->J/psiX)=0.59(+0.15)(-0.13)+/-0.12. These results are obtained from a 46.2 fb(-1) data sample collected near the Upsilon(4S) resonance, with the Belle detector at the KEKB collider.

Abstract
We report the first observation of the decay B(0)-->D(+/-)D(*-/+) with the Belle detector at the KEKB e(+)e(-) Collider operated at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. The sum of branching fractions B(B(0)-->D(+)D(*-))+B(B(0)-->D(-)D(*+)) is measured to be (1.17+/-0.26(+0.22)(-0.25))x10(-3) using the full reconstruction method where both charmed mesons from B0 decays are reconstructed. A consistent value [(1.48+/-0.38(+0.28)(-0.31))x10(-3)] is obtained using a partial reconstruction technique that uses only the slow pion from the D(*-)-->D(-0)pi(-) decay and a fully reconstructed D(+) to reconstruct the B(0).

Abstract
We report the observation of a narrow peak in the K(S)K-pi(+) invariant mass distribution in a sample of exclusive B-->KK(S)K-pi(+) decays collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric e(+)e(-) collider. The measured mass of the peak is M=3654+/-6(stat)+/-8(syst) MeV/c(2), and we place a 90% confidence level upper limit on the width of Gamma<55 MeV/c(2). The properties agree with heavy-quark potential model expectations for the eta(c)(2S) meson, the n=2 singlet S charmonium state.

Abstract
We present a measurement of CP-violating asymmetries in B0-->pi(+)pi(-) decays based on a 41.8 fb(-1) data sample collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e(+)e(-) collider. We fully reconstruct one neutral B meson as a B0-->pi(+)pi(-) CP eigenstate and identify the flavor of the accompanying B meson from its decay products. From the asymmetry in the distribution of the time intervals between the two B meson decay points, we obtain the CP-violating asymmetry parameters S(pipi)=-1.21(+0.38)(-0.27)(stat)+0.16-0.13(syst) and A(pipi)=+0.94(+0.25)(-0.31)(stat)+/-0.09(syst).

Abstract
We report the observation of the decay mode B(+/-) --> p(-)pK(+/-)based on an analysis of 29.4 fb(-1) of data collected by the Belle detector at KEKB. This is the first example of a b-->s transition with baryons in the final state. The p(-)p mass spectrum in this decay is inconsistent with phase space and is peaked at low mass. The branching fraction for this decay is measured to be B(B+/--->p(-)pK+/-) = [4.3(+1.1)(-0.9)(stat)+/-0.5(syst)]x 10(-6). We also report upper limits for the decays B(0)-->p(-)pK(S) and B(+/-)-->p(-)p pi(+/-).

Abstract
The lifetimes of the B(0) and B- mesons are extracted from 29.1 fb(-1) of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEK B factory. A fit to the decay length differences of neutral and charged B meson pairs, measured in events where one of the B mesons is fully reconstructed in several hadronic modes, yields tau(B(0)) = 1.554+/-0.030(stat)+/-0.019(syst) ps, tau(B-) = 1.695+/-0.026(stat)+/-0.015(syst) ps, and tau(B-)/tau(B(0)) = 1.091+/-0.023(stat)+/-0.014(syst).

Abstract
A bacterium capable of utilizing fenitrothion (O,O-dimethyl O-4-nitro-m-tolyl phosphorothioate) as a sole carbon source was isolated from fenitrothion-treated soil. This bacterium was characterized taxonomically as being a member of the genus Burkholderia and was designated strain NF100. NF100 first hydrolyzed an organophosphate bond of fenitrothion, forming 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol, which was further metabolized to methylhydroquinone. The ability to degrade fenitrothion was found to be encoded on two plasmids, pNF1 and pNF2.

Abstract
A case is reported of downbeat nystagmus associated with compression of the caudal brain stem by the dolichoectatic vertebral arteries, which was revealed by magnetic resonance imaging. Before surgery, the patient complained of oscillopsia at rest. Downbeat nystagmus was observed in the primary eye position and was increased in lateral gaze, especially to the left. Surgical repositioning of the left vertebral artery succeeded in resolving the downbeat nystagmus in the primary position within 1 month, and the nystagmus in all the other gaze positions almost completely disappeared over the subsequent months. Other ocular abnormalities also were improved after surgery. Thus, this case shows clear evidence of downbeat nystagmus arising from compression of dolichoectatic vertebral arteries to the medulla oblongata. Surgical neurovascular decompression of the dolichoectasia reverses the progression of symptoms if permanent neurologic damage has not already occurred.

Abstract
We have previously reported that met-enkephalin has dual immunomodulatory properties in vitro. We have continued this investigation using an in vivo system. In this study, Alzet miniosmotic pumps were loaded with either met-enkephalin, DTLET or FK 33-824 and were surgically implanted into BAF1/J mice. Twenty-four hours after pump implantation, mice were challenged with sub-optimal, optimal or supraoptimal immunizing doses of antigen. The immune response was assessed 4 or 5 days after primary immunization. FK 33-824, a met-enkephalin analogue, had no effect on the response of mice challenged with a suboptimal antigen dose. However, FK 33-824, at a pump concentration of 10(-3) M, suppressed the response against optimal challenge doses of antigen. At a pump concentration of 10(-8) M, FK 33-824 suppressed, enhanced or had no effect on the supraoptimal antigen dose-induced immune response. The suppressive effect of FK 33-824 in mice immunized with either optimal or supraoptimal doses of antigen was blocked by naloxone. Met-enkephalin and its delta opioid receptor specific analogue, DTLET, had no effect on the immune response to optimal antigen immunization. These results indicate that FK 33-824 has in vivo immunomodulatory activity and provide evidence that opioid peptides may either upregulate or downregulate the in vivo immune response depending on the strength of the response.

Abstract
We investigated natural killer (NK) cell activity in an animal model of ethanol-induced immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy. Two groups, of 10 rats each, received a continuous intragastric infusion of liquid diet through a permanent cannula for 6 weeks. The alcoholic group was infused additionally with intragastric ethanol, representing from 32% to 40% of the caloric requirement. The group of control rats received an isocaloric diet supplemented with glucose instead of alcohol. IgA nephropathy was observed in all the alcoholic rats but in none of the controls. NK cell activity was investigated in the two groups by measuring the cytotoxicity of spleen cells using the chromium release method. NK cell activity was found to be significantly increased in the alcoholic rats. In view of the known modulation of IgA synthesis by NK cells, we suggest that increased NK cell activity may be a contributing factor to the high levels of circulating IgA seen in IgA nephropathy secondary to chronic alcohol consumption.

Abstract
Erythrocyte membrane fluidity was measured in male sprinters and long-distance runners by a spin-label method. The membrane fluidity was higher in long-distance runners than in sedentary subjects for both measurements by use of two stearic acid spin labels (SAL), 12- and 16-SAL, which represent the fluidity at two different depths of lipid bilayer. In the 12-SAL measurement, higher levels were also evident in sprinters than in sedentary subjects. Increases in the C20:5, C22:5, and total polyunsaturated acyl chains were evident in membrane phospholipids, whereas the C18 and total saturated acyl chains were decreased in long-distance runners compared with sedentary subjects. Only levels of C22:5 were higher in the sprinters than the sedentary subjects. Membrane cholesterol and phospholipid classes did not differ among the three groups. A higher level of erythrocyte membrane fluidity was observed in the athletes, more obviously in the long-distance runners, which was related to the altered phospholipid acyl chain composition. The change may contribute to the beneficial effects on erythrocyte functions related to microcirculation in athletes.

Abstract
We investigated the hypothesis that alcohol-induced changes of the immune system result in IgA nephropathy (IAN). Wistar rats were infused with liquid diet containing alcohol: "alcoholics." Control rats received an isocaloric diet with glucose instead of alcohol. IAN was diagnosed by mesangial IgA deposition. When compared to controls, serum IgA in alcoholic rats with IAN had a fourfold increase and a twofold increase in alcoholics without IAN. The intestinal lamina propria showed overall lymphocyte depletion in alcoholic rats. The decrease was not uniform for all the lymphocyte subgroups: it resulted in a relative increase in IgA-B cells in alcoholic rats with IAN but not in alcoholic rats without IAN. No significant differences were observed between alcoholic and control rats in the percentages of spleen lymphocyte subtypes. We suggest that dysfunction of the mucosal immune system may be related to the induction of IAN in chronic alcohol consumption.

Abstract
Genetically epilepsy-prone (GEPR-9) rats exhibit decreased antibody plaque-forming cell responses following immunization. We examined the hypothesis that this immunosuppression was due to deficits in the number or proliferative responses of T-lymphocytes. Splenocyte responses to concanavalin A and pokeweed mitogen were significantly greater in GEPR-9 rats than controls. Flow cytometric analysis indicated that GEPR-9 rats possess an increase in T-cells associated with the T-helper phenotype. The increased proportion of T-helper cells in GEPR-9 rats may underlie their enhanced proliferative responses to T-cell mitogens. These results clearly indicate that the failure of the GEPR-9 rat to respond to a T-dependent antigen in vivo is not due to a lack of T-helper activity.

Abstract
Immune system function was examined in the genetically epilepsy prone (GEPR-9) rat and non-epileptic Sprague-Dawley control rats. Significant decreases in direct and indirect plaque-forming cell responses were observed in GEPR-9 rats immunized with sheep erythrocytes. Serum levels of IgM were also decreased in non-immunized GEPR-9 rats, providing additional evidence of immunosuppression. However, total serum levels of IgG were three-fold greater in GEPR-9 rats compared to control. These results suggest that the nature of the immune system deficit in the GEPR-9 is complex and may involve an active T-cell population stimulating an overproduction of IgG leading to a diminished capacity to respond to new antigen challenges. This immunological defect may underlie the enhanced susceptibility of GEPR-9 rats to infectious agents. The specific cause of this immune dysfunction is not known. Possible etiological factors include a breakdown in the communication between cells within the immune system or an alteration of neuroendocrine modulation of immune responses.

Serum corticosteroid (CS) levels were measured in (B6xA)F1 mice following the implantation of ALZET mini-osmotic pumps. Studies of shipment stress were used as a basis for comparison. At 24 and 48 h following the implantation of pumps CS levels were moderately elevated. However, immunization of animals at 24 h postsurgery with sheep erythrocytes showed normal immune responses. The results of these experiments indicate that the use of mini-osmotic pumps for the delivery of immunomodulatory drugs induces moderate and short-term increases in CS levels, which do not appear to interfere with normal immune function.

Abstract
Computed tomography-guided stereotactic aspiration has been carried out in 20 patients with hypertensive pontine hemorrhage. A Komai computed tomography-guided stereotactic apparatus and a suboccipital transcerebellar approach were used. The entire operative procedures were performed under local anesthesia or neuroleptanalgesia in the semilateral position. Of 20 patients, the outcome was assessed as good in 9, fair in 4, and poor in 7. No patient deteriorated after the operation. The relationship between the preoperative clinical features and the outcome in comparison with the conservative treatment is presented.

Abstract
Met-enkephalin (MENK) is an opioid peptide that is released during physiological stress and is reported to either up-regulate or down-regulate the immune response. Our previous experiments showed the ability of 10(-7) M MENK to modulate the plaque-forming cell (PFC) response of Mishell-Dutton cultures treated with low, optimal, and large concentrations of sheep erythrocyte (SE) antigen. In the present series of experiments the PFC response was measured in splenocyte cultures challenged with incremental concentrations of SE in the presence of 10(-7) M MENK. These experiments illustrate what we consider to be true modulation, i.e., the ability of MENK to modulate immune function only during the presence of a strong immune signal. When the immune signal was strong, as represented by a strong PFC response, MENK suppressed the PFC response. Conversely, when the strongest immune signal was high-antigen suppression of the PFC response, MENK overcame the suppression and frequently returned the PFC response to a greater than optimal level. In a true modulatory fashion MENK had no effect in those regions of the dose-response curve where there was insufficient antigen to induce a strong immune signal.
