Abstract
Abstract
Background
Clinical trials and registry data showed encouraging outcomes for leadless pacemaker (LP) implantation. However, reports of patient characteristics, trends, and clinical outcomes in a real-world population are limited.
Purpose
To provide real-world evidence of the rates, trends, and patient characteristics associated with in-hospital complications and 30-days readmission after LP implantations.
Methods
Using the all-payer, nationally representative Nationwide Readmissions Database between 2017 and 2019, we analyzed leadless or conventional pacemaker implantations. The national trends of in-hospital mortality, in-hospital complication rates and 30-day readmission rates after pacemaker implantation and their national trends were analyzed. Mixed-effects multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with in-hospital death and 30-days readmission in LP patients.
Results
A total of 137,732 admissions (age: 78 [70–85], 5,986 LP implantations) were analyzed (Figure 1). The in-hospital mortality, overall in-hospital complication rate, and 30-days readmission rates after LP implantations were 5.0%, 16%, and 16%, respectively. In LP recipients, the national estimate of in-hospital mortality declined from 10.9% in the second quarter of 2017 to 4.3% in the fourth quarter of 2019 (P<0.001) (Figure 2a). Furthermore, the national estimate of overall complication rate declined from 20.6% in the second quarter of 2017 to 13.0% in the fourth quarter of 2019 (P<0.001) (Figure 2b). Conversely, non-elective 30-day readmission rate did not show any increasing or decreasing trends in LP recipients (P=0.74) (Figure 2c). In LP recipients, female sex (odds ratio [OR] 1.42, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04–1.93), history of heart failure (OR 2.02, 95% CI 1.46–2.79), and first quartile annual pacemaker implantation hospital volume (OR 2.49, 95% CI 1.56–3.97, fourth quartile annual pacemaker implantation hospital volume used as a reference standard) were factors associated with in-hospital death.
Conclusions
Analysis of the nationally representative claims database in the US showed in-hospital mortality, complication rates, and non-elective 30-day readmission rate of 5.0%, 16%, and 16% respectively, for LP implantation performed during hospitalization. Although in-hospital mortality and complication rates showed a decreasing trend over time, ongoing surveillance is needed for the safety of LP implantation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The use of β-blockers has the effect of improving the prognosis of patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD). One of the underlying mechanisms is a decrease in the cardiac load due to a reduction in the heart rate.
Purpose
To clarify the relationships among the pulse rate, the use of β-blockers, and the prognosis in patients with IHD in a multicenter study using a storage system.
Methods
The Clinical Deep Data Accumulation System (CLIDAS) collects (1) basic patient information, prescriptions, and laboratory data from electronic medical records from the Standardized Structured Medical Information eXchange (SS-MIX2) standard storage, and (2) the results of physiological tests, cardiac catheterization, and cardiac catheter intervention reports from the SS-MIX2 extended storage. 8540 cases who underwent cardiac catheterization from 6 university hospitals and the national cardiovascular center in Japan were registered (male: 77%, average age: 70.2 years). We evaluated these patients' pulse rate at admission and at the discharge of cardiac catheterization in 6,598 patients. We divided the pulse rates at discharge into quartiles (Q1: <60, Q2: 60–66, Q3: 67–75, Q4: ≥76 bpm), and we analyzed the relationship between the pulse rate and the prognosis by dividing the patients into the stable angina group (n=2,631) and the acute coronary syndrome (ACS) group (n=2,394). Regarding the use of β-blockers, we compared the pulse rates of the patients taking carvedilol (n=1,728) and those taking bisoprolol (n=2,761) at admission and discharge. Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were defined as cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, unstable angina, heart failure, stroke, and other hospitalized cardiovascular events.
Results
A total of 600 MACEs occurred during an average observation period of 890 days. The incidence of cardiovascular events was significantly higher in the Q4 patients in the stable angina group (hazard ratio 1.79, 95% confidence interval 1.32–2.41, but there was no significant difference among the four pulse rate subgroups in the ACS group. The bisoprolol-treated patients had lower pulse rates at discharge (67.4±12.2 vs. 68.8±11.8 bpm, p<0.001) and a lower percentage of patients in the Q4 group (21.2 vs. 24.9%, p=0.005) compared to the carvedilol-treated patients. The pulse rate at admission was similar in the bisoprolol- and carvedilol-treated patients (74.3±19.3 vs. 73.2±29.5 bpm, p=0.328).
Conclusion
In a real-world database using a storage system, a pulse rate of ≤75 bpm was associated with a good prognosis in patients with ACS. Compared to carvedilol, bisoprolol was associated with a decreased pulse rate at discharge.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Japanese clinical guidelines recommend a stratification of the risks and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) treatment goals for patients with coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), i.e. <100 mg/dL for normal risk patients and <70 mg/dL for high risk patients; however, less is known about the association between baseline LDL-C values and long-term prognosis.
Purpose
To investigate the association between LDL-C goals and baseline LDL-C levels in relation to major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) among high-risk patients after PCI, using a real-world database.
Methods
We developed the Clinical Deep Data Accumulation System (CLIDAS) that acquires clinical data directly from hospital information system, and implemented the system in 6 university hospitals and the national cardiovascular center in Japan. The CLIDAS database accumulates data regarding patient background, laboratory data, prescriptions, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, PCI report, and long-term prognosis. We retrospectively analyzed 8540 consecutive patients who underwent PCI during April 2014 and March 2020 in participating hospitals, and classified them into the normal risk group (n=3712, 43%) and the high risk group [n=4828, 57%, with any of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), or diabetes with additional risk factor(s)], for which LDL-C goals are <100 mg/dL and <70 mg/dL, respectively, according to the Japanese Atherosclerosis Society guidelines or the diagnosis and prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. The primary outcome was the time to first occurrence of MACE, a composite of cardiovascular death, stroke, myocardial infarction, and coronary revascularization in associations with baseline LDL-C levels and patient background.
Results
Proportion of male (77% vs. 77%) and age (71±11 vs. 70±11) were similar between 2 groups. The prevalence of ACS at the index PCI (0% vs. 62%), FH (0% vs. 2%), hypertension (61% vs. 86%), diabetes (11% vs. 67%), dyslipidemia (73% vs. 84%), hemodialysis (4% vs. 9%), peripheral artery disease (5% vs. 9%), smoking (16% vs. 30%), and prescription of statins (79% vs. 86%) were significantly higher in the high risk group. Among patients in the high risk group, but not in the normal risk group, baseline LDL-C <70 mg/dL was paradoxically associated with higher risk of MACE (P<0.0001 by Log-rank test) (Figure). The Cox proportional hazard model confirmed that the high risk group (risk ratio 1.54, 95% CI [1.31–1.81]), baseline LDL-C <70mg/dL (risk ratio 1.44, 95% CI [1.18–1.75]), baseline age (risk ratio 1.36, 95% CI [1.28–1.45] per 10 year), and prescription of statins (risk ratio 0.80, 95% CI [0.66–0.96]) were significantly associated with the risk of MACE in this population.
Conclusion
The CLIDAS real-world database revealed that baseline low LDL-C paradoxically associated with an increased risk of MACE among guideline-defined high risk patients after PCI.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Although drug-eluting stents (DES) have substantially reduced the need for early target lesion revascularization (TLR) compared with bare-metal stents (BMS) by inhibiting neointima hyperplasia, early generation DES have been associated with an increased risk of very late stent failure (VLSF) due to stent thrombosis and TLR after 1 year. Although the incidence of VLSF is reduced with newer generation DES, VLSF remains an unresolved problem and its mechanisms are not fully explored.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to evaluate quality and quantity of neointima and presence of thrombus by using coronary angioscopy at long-term follow-up in patients who experienced an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) treated with BMS and DES on dual antiplatelet therapy.
Methods
Coronary angioscopy was performed at 6 and 10 months after BMS and DES implantation, respectively, in ACS patients. We assessed neointimal coverage (NC) of the stent struts, yellow color grade (YG) of stented segment and the existence of thrombus. Angioscopic NC was defined as follows: grade 0= fully visible struts; grade 1= visible struts through thin neointima; grade 2= no visible struts. We determined maximum (Max-NC) and minimum coverage (Min-NC) grades and the dominant NC grades. YG was classified into 4 grades (0= white; 1= slight yellow; 2= yellow; 3= intensive yellow). The obtained findings were compared with BMS, first-generation (1st-) DES, second-generation (2nd-) DES and third-generation (3rd-) DES.
Results
A total of 212 patients were enrolled: BMS (n=127), 1st DES (n=26, sirolimus-eluting stent), 2nd-DES (n=38, permanent polymer everolimus-eluting stent), and 3rd-DES (n=21, bioresorbable polymer everolimus-eluting stent). Max-NC and Min-NC grade were significantly lower with 1st- and 2nd-DES than with BMS and 3rd-DES (Figure). The same trend was also observed in the dominant NC grades. There was a lower trend of YG in BMS and 3rd-DES than in 1st or 2nd-DES (Figure). The presence of thrombus was significantly lower in 3rd-DES in comparison with BMS, 1st-, and 2nd-DES (3rd-DES 0%, BMS 20.5%, 1st-DES 24%, 2nd-DES 13.5%, P=0.01).
Figure 1
Conclusion
Patients treated with 3rd-DES have higher NC grade, lower incidence of intrastent thrombus, and lower YG than in 1st and 2nd-DES. These findings may explain the lower incidence of VLSF associated with these newer generation stent platforms.

Abstract
The PHENIX collaboration presents first measurements of low-momentum (0.4<p_{T}<3 GeV/c) direct-photon yields from Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=39 and 62.4 GeV. For both beam energies the direct-photon yields are substantially enhanced with respect to expectations from prompt processes, similar to the yields observed in Au+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200. Analyzing the photon yield as a function of the experimental observable dN_{ch}/dη reveals that the low-momentum (>1 GeV/c) direct-photon yield dN_{γ}^{dir}/dη is a smooth function of dN_{ch}/dη and can be well described as proportional to (dN_{ch}/dη)^{α} with α≈1.25. This scaling behavior holds for a wide range of beam energies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider, for centrality selected samples, as well as for different A+A collision systems. At a given beam energy, the scaling also holds for high p_{T} (>5 GeV/c), but when results from different collision energies are compared, an additional sqrt[s_{NN}]-dependent multiplicative factor is needed to describe the integrated-direct-photon yield.

Abstract
Jet production rates are measured in p+p and d+Au collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV recorded in 2008 with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Jets are reconstructed using the R=0.3 anti-k_{t} algorithm from energy deposits in the electromagnetic calorimeter and charged tracks in multiwire proportional chambers, and the jet transverse momentum (p_{T}) spectra are corrected for the detector response. Spectra are reported for jets with 12<p_{T}<50 GeV/c, within a pseudorapidity acceptance of |η|<0.3. The nuclear-modification factor (R_{dAu}) values for 0%-100% d+Au events are found to be consistent with unity, constraining the role of initial state effects on jet production. However, the centrality-selected R_{dAu} values and central-to-peripheral ratios (R_{CP}) show large, p_{T}-dependent deviations from unity, challenging the conventional models that relate hard-process rates and soft-particle production in collisions involving nuclei.

Abstract
We present the first measurement of elliptic (v(2)) and triangular (v(3)) flow in high-multiplicity (3)He+Au collisions at √(s(NN))=200 GeV. Two-particle correlations, where the particles have a large separation in pseudorapidity, are compared in (3)He+Au and in p+p collisions and indicate that collective effects dominate the second and third Fourier components for the correlations observed in the (3)He+Au system. The collective behavior is quantified in terms of elliptic v(2) and triangular v(3) anisotropy coefficients measured with respect to their corresponding event planes. The v(2) values are comparable to those previously measured in d+Au collisions at the same nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy. Comparisons with various theoretical predictions are made, including to models where the hot spots created by the impact of the three (3)He nucleons on the Au nucleus expand hydrodynamically to generate the triangular flow. The agreement of these models with data may indicate the formation of low-viscosity quark-gluon plasma even in these small collision systems.

Abstract
We present azimuthal angular correlations between charged hadrons and energy deposited in calorimeter towers in central d+Au and minimum bias p+p collisions at sqrt[s_{NN}]=200 GeV. The charged hadron is measured at midrapidity |η|<0.35, and the energy is measured at large rapidity (-3.7<η<-3.1, Au-going direction). An enhanced near-side angular correlation across |Δη|>2.75 is observed in d+Au collisions. Using the event plane method applied to the Au-going energy distribution, we extract the anisotropy strength v_{2} for inclusive charged hadrons at midrapidity up to p_{T}=4.5 GeV/c. We also present the measurement of v_{2} for identified π^{±} and (anti)protons in central d+Au collisions, and observe a mass-ordering pattern similar to that seen in heavy-ion collisions. These results are compared with viscous hydrodynamic calculations and measurements from p+Pb at sqrt[s_{NN}]=5.02 TeV. The magnitude of the mass ordering in d+Au is found to be smaller than that in p+Pb collisions, which may indicate smaller radial flow in lower energy d+Au collisions.

Abstract
The PHENIX experiment has measured open heavy-flavor production via semileptonic decay over the transverse momentum range 1 < p(T) < 6 GeV/c at forward and backward rapidity (1.4 < |y| < 2.0) in d+Au and p + p collisions at √sNN = 200 GeV. In central d+Au collisions, relative to the yield in p + p collisions scaled by the number of binary nucleon-nucleon collisions, a suppression is observed at forward rapidity (in the d-going direction) and an enhancement at backward rapidity (in the Au-going direction). Predictions using nuclear-modified-parton-distribution functions, even with additional nuclear-p(T) broadening, cannot simultaneously reproduce the data at both rapidity ranges, which implies that these models are incomplete and suggests the possible importance of final-state interactions in the asymmetric d + Au collision system. These results can be used to probe cold-nuclear-matter effects, which may significantly affect heavy-quark production, in addition to helping constrain the magnitude of charmonia-breakup effects in nuclear matter.

Abstract
The PHENIX collaboration at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reports measurements of azimuthal dihadron correlations near midrapidity in d+Au collisions at √(s(NN))=200 GeV. These measurements complement recent analyses by experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) involving central p+Pb collisions at √(s(NN))=5.02 TeV, which have indicated strong anisotropic long-range correlations in angular distributions of hadron pairs. The origin of these anisotropies is currently unknown. Various competing explanations include parton saturation and hydrodynamic flow. We observe qualitatively similar, but larger, anisotropies in d+Au collisions at RHIC compared to those seen in p+Pb collisions at the LHC. The larger extracted v2 values in d+Au are consistent with expectations from hydrodynamic calculations owing to the larger expected initial-state eccentricity compared with that from p+Pb collisions. When both are divided by an estimate of the initial-state eccentricity the scaled anisotropies follow a common trend with multiplicity that may extend to heavy ion data at RHIC and the LHC, where the anisotropies are widely thought to arise from hydrodynamic flow.

Abstract
We present results for three charmonia states (ψ', χc, and J/ψ) in d+Au collisions at |y|<0.35 and sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV. We find that the modification of the ψ' yield relative to that of the J/ψ scales approximately with charged particle multiplicity at midrapidity across p+A, d+Au, and A+A results from the Super Proton Synchrotron and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. In large-impact-parameter collisions we observe a similar suppression for the ψ' and J/ψ, while in small-impact-parameter collisions the more weakly bound ψ' is more strongly suppressed. Owing to the short time spent traversing the Au nucleus, the larger ψ' suppression in central events is not explained by an increase of the nuclear absorption owing to meson formation time effects.

Abstract
The PHENIX experiment has measured electrons and positrons at midrapidity from the decays of hadrons containing charm and bottom quarks produced in d+Au and p+p collisions at sqrt[S(NN)]=200 GeV in the transverse-momentum range 0.85 ≤ p(T)(e) ≤ 8.5 GeV/c. In central d+Au collisions, the nuclear modification factor R(dA) at 1.5<p(T)<5 GeV/c displays evidence of enhancement of these electrons, relative to those produced in p+p collisions, and shows that the mass-dependent Cronin enhancement observed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider extends to the heavy D meson family. A comparison with the neutral-pion data suggests that the difference in cold-nuclear-matter effects on light- and heavy-flavor mesons could contribute to the observed differences between the π(0) and heavy-flavor-electron nuclear modification factors R(AA).

Abstract
Back-to-back hadron pair yields in d+Au and p+p collisions at √s(NN)=200 GeV were measured with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. Rapidity separated hadron pairs were detected with the trigger hadron at pseudorapidity |η|<0.35 and the associated hadron at forward rapidity (deuteron direction, 3.0<η<3.8). Pairs were also detected with both hadrons measured at forward rapidity; in this case, the yield of back-to-back hadron pairs in d+Au collisions with small impact parameters is observed to be suppressed by a factor of 10 relative to p+p collisions. The kinematics of these pairs is expected to probe partons in the Au nucleus with a low fraction x of the nucleon momenta, where the gluon densities rise sharply. The observed suppression as a function of nuclear thickness, p(T), and η points to cold nuclear matter effects arising at high parton densities.

Abstract
We present measurements of J/ψ yields in d+Au collisions at sqrt[s(NN)]=200 GeV recorded by the PHENIX experiment and compare them with yields in p+p collisions at the same energy per nucleon-nucleon collision. The measurements cover a large kinematic range in J/ψ rapidity (-2.2<y<2.4) with high statistical precision and are compared with two theoretical models: one with nuclear shadowing combined with final state breakup and one with coherent gluon saturation effects. In order to remove model dependent systematic uncertainties we also compare the data to a simple geometric model. The forward rapidity data are inconsistent with nuclear modifications that are linear or exponential in the density weighted longitudinal thickness, such as those from the final state breakup of the bound state.

Abstract
Large parity-violating longitudinal single-spin asymmetries A(L)(e+) = -0.86(-0.14) (+0.30) and A(L)(e-) = 0.88(-0.71) (+0.12) are observed for inclusive high transverse momentum electrons and positrons in polarized p+p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt[s] = 500 GeV with the PHENIX detector at RHIC. These e± come mainly from the decay of W± and Z0 bosons, and their asymmetries directly demonstrate parity violation in the couplings of the W± to the light quarks. The observed electron and positron yields were used to estimate W± boson production cross sections for the e± channels of σ(pp → W+ X) × BR(W+ → e+ ν(e)) = 144.1 ± 21.2(stat)(-10.3) (+3.4) (syst) ± 21.6(norm) pb, and σ(pp → W- X) × BR(W- → e- ν[over ¯](e)) = 31.7 ± 12.1(stat)(-8.2) (+10.1) (syst) ± 4.8(norm) pb.

Abstract
AIMS We previously reported that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) function was deteriorated in vessels located along hippocampal fissures in stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP). In this study, we examined changes of gene expression in the BBB-damaged vessels of SHRSP. METHODS Vascular samples were microdissected from the hippocampi of SHRSP and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) as a control and the difference in gene expression between the BBB-damaged vessels in SHRSP and vessels without BBB damage in WKY was examined by a microarray. The differences in gene and protein expression between brain tissues in the two strains of rats were examined using real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The microarray assay revealed that the ratio of osteopontin gene expression in the vascular tissue of the hippocampi of SHRSP to that of WKY was the highest among 8435 genes. Real-time RT-PCR analysis revealed that the gene expression of osteopontin was significantly increased in the hippocampal samples of SHRSP compared with that in the hippocampal samples of WKY rats or with that in the cortical samples of SHRSP. Immunohistochemical and Western blot analyses showed that the osteopontin protein expression was seen in perivascular ED1-positive macrophages/microglial cells located around hippocampal fissures and significantly increased in the hippocampi of SHRSP compared with that of WKY. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that the expression of osteopontin is increased in BBB-damaged vessels in hypertensive SHRSP compared with that in vessels without BBB impairment in WKY rats, suggesting a role for osteopontin in BBB function.

Abstract
We evaluated islet transplantation from non-heart beating donors (NHBDs) with our Kyoto Islet Isolation Method. All patients had positive C-peptide after transplantation. The average HbA(1C) levels of the five recipients significantly improved from 7.8 +/- 0.4% at transplant to 5.2 +/- 0.2% currently (p < 0.01). Three patients with no or a single autoantibody became insulin independent while the other two patients with double autoantibodies reduced their insulin requirement but did not become insulin independent. C-peptide in patients who became insulin-independent gradually increased after each transplantation whereas C-peptide in patients who did not become insulin-independent from 3 months after the first transplantation to the next transplantation dramatically decreased. The beta-score of the three patients who became insulin independent was the best of eight. In conclusion, our method makes it feasible to use NHBDs for islet transplant into type 1 diabetic patients efficiently.

Abstract
Islet allotransplantation can achieve insulin independence in patients with type I diabetes. Recent reports show that the two-layer method (TLM), which employs oxygenated perfluorochemical (PFC) and UW solution, is superior to simple cold storage in UW for pancreas preservation in islet transplantation. However, UW solution has several disadvantages, including the inhibition of Liberase activity. In this study, we investigated the features of a new solution, designated M-Kyoto solution. M-Kyoto solution contains trehalose and ulinastatin as distinct components. Trehalose has a cytoprotective effect against stress, and ulinastatin inhibits trypsin. In porcine islet isolation, islet yield was significantly higher in the M-Kyoto/PFC group compared with the UW/PFC group. There was no significant difference in ATP content in the pancreas between the two groups, suggesting that different islet yields are not due to their differences as energy sources. Compared with UW solution, M-Kyoto solution significantly inhibited trypsin activity in the digestion step; moreover, M-Kyoto solution inhibited collagenase digestion less than UW solution. In conclusion, the advantages of M-Kyoto solution are trypsin inhibition and less collagenase inhibition. Based on these data, we now use M-Kyoto solution for clinical islet transplantation from nonheart-beating donor pancreata.

Abstract
We report a case of a patient with repeated intractable pneumonia due to congenital and acquired esophagobronchial fistula that was relieved by surgery. The patient was a 69-year-old female, who had repeatedly developed pneumonic symptoms since December 2000. It was found that she had a fistula from an esophageal diverticulum into the right bronchus and was diagnosed with congenital esophagobronchial fistula (Braimbridge classification type I). The patient was not relieved with conservative treatment and the diverticulum and fistula were subsequently excised. Considering the complications, lobectomy was not performed. In postoperative esophagraphy, a second fistula was found at a different site that was then removed during a second surgery. This fistula operation was formed a posteriori based on the conditions around the fistula. We had difficulty with the diagnosis and treatment. However, the patient had a good outcome With surgical treatment. A review of the relevant literature is also presented.

Abstract
The availability of pancreata for clinical cadaveric islet transplantation is restricted to non-heart-beating donors (NHBDs) in Japan. This forced us to modify the current standard islet isolation protocol that was made up for brain-dead donors and make it suitable for NHBDs. The Kyoto islet isolation method is the one with induction of several steps based on the ideas both already reported literally and invented originally by ourselves. Using this islet isolation method, we isolated islets from 13 human pancreata of NHBDs and transplanted 11 preparations to six type-1 diabetic patients. The rate to meet release criteria of Edmonton protocol was 84.6%. Establishment of this method allowed us to begin a clinical islet transplantation program in Japan and to continue to perform the preparation of islets from NHBDs with high rate to meet the release criteria of the Edmonton protocol.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The specific aim of this study was to develop an effective technique for pancreas procurement for islet transplantation from a non-heart-beating donor (NHBD). METHODS Between January 2004 and November 2004, 11 human pancreata were procured and processed for islet isolation at a cell processing center. After confirmation of brain-death status, a double-balloon catheter was inserted to prevent warm ischemic damage to the donor pancreas by using an in situ regional organ cooling system that was originally developed for kidney procurement. RESULTS Warm ischemic time was controlled with the modified in situ regional cooling system at 6.0 +/- 0.9 minutes (mean +/- SE). The operations for procurement of the kidneys and pancreata lasted 48.1 +/- 3.6 minutes and 9.9 +/- 4.8 minutes, respectively. The islet yield per isolation was 396,767 +/- 142,842 IE (islet equivalents). Ten of the 11 cases met the criteria for pancreatic islet transplantation based on the Edmonton protocol. CONCLUSIONS We developed a novel procurement technique in cooperation with our kidney procurement team. This protocol for the procurement of pancreas and kidney from an NHBD enabled us to transplant islets into a type 1 diabetic patient and kidney into a renal failure patient.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Current success in islet transplantation will lead to a donor shortage. Living donor islet transplantation could be an alternative approach to expand the potential donor pool. In this study we describe the first successful living donor islet transplantation for unstable diabetes, performed at Kyoto University Hospital on January 19, 2005. METHODS The donor was a healthy 56-year-old woman and mother of the recipient. The recipient was a 27-year-old woman with insulin-dependent diabetes since the age of 15 years. She experienced frequent hypoglycemic unawareness episodes. Her blood glucose concentration was difficult to control and C-peptide level was negative after glucagon stimulation. She needed an average 28 of units of insulin per day. The donor underwent a distal pancreatectomy and islets were isolated from the resected pancreas graft. The total islet yield was 408,114 islet equivalents and isolated islets were immediately transplanted into the recipient's liver. RESULTS After transplant, the blood glucose level of the recipient was tightly controlled without hypoglycemic episodes. She was discharged on day 37 with a normal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The recipient remained insulin-independent for >3 months, since day 22 posttransplant. The donor's postoperative clinical course was uneventful. She was discharged on postoperative day 18 and returned to her job within 1 month. CONCLUSIONS We report the first successful living donor islet transplantation for the treatment of unstable diabetes. We believe that living donor islet transplantation may become an option in the treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evaluation of engraftment is important to assess the success of islet transplantation. Recently we developed secretory unit of islet transplant objects (SUITO) index for simple evaluation of engraftment. Assuming that normal subjects aged <40 years have 100% pancreatic beta-cell function, SUITO index was calculated by the formula: 1500 x fasting C-peptide immunoreactivity [ng/dL]/(fasting blood glucose [mg/dL] - 63). In this study, we compared the efficacy of islet transplantation from cadaveric and living donors using the SUITO index. METHODS We performed eight islet transplantations with non-heart-beating donors (NHBDs) into five patients. Two patients received fresh islets once, one patient received fresh islets twice, one patient received cultured islets once, and one patient received cultured islets twice plus fresh islets once. In addition, one patient received fresh islets from a living donor. We calculated the SUITO index from postoperative days 3 to 30 for each case. RESULTS Mean SUITO index after one fresh islet transplant was 11.7 +/- 1.0, after two fresh islet transplants was 28.5 +/- 3.4, after one cultured islet transplant was 2.1 +/- 0.4, after two cultured islet transplant was 12.1 +/- 1.9, and after two cultured islet transplant plus one fresh islet transplant was 26.7 +/- 1.7. The mean SUITO index after single living donor islet transplant was 40.7 +/- 2.6, which was significantly higher compared with all other groups. Insulin independence was obtained when the SUITO index was >26, which might reflect that 26% beta-cell mass was required for insulin independence. CONCLUSION SUITO index is useful to evaluate islet engraftment and to predict the possibility of insulin independence.

Abstract
AIMS It is important to have clinically relevant large animal models, especially nonhuman primates, to improve the efficacy of islet isolation and transplantation prior to clinical trials. The aim of this study was to improve the efficacy of islet isolation by analyzing large-scale nonhuman primate islet isolations. METHODS Sixty-one islet isolations were evaluated using nonhuman primates. An automated isolation method was scaled down for islet isolation. Islet yields of prepurification, postpurification, and postculture, purity of islets, viability of islets, and functionality with glucose stimulation test were assessed. Initially, we analyzed relationships between endpoints then analyzed additional factors for successful islet isolation. Those factors included donor characteristics, the two-layer method (TLM) of pancreas preservation, trypsin inhibition during digestion, and digestion and collection time. RESULTS Prepurification islet yields were strongly correlated with postpurification yields and postculture yields. It weakly but significantly correlated with purity, viability, and functionality. The average prepurification yield was 16,267 IE/g with each case divided into either above-average (high-yield group) or below-average groups (low-yield group). In 8 cases, TLM and trypsin inhibition were used and all cases belonged to the high-yield group. There were no significant differences between high- and low-yield groups in terms of donor age, body weight, pancreas weight, and cold ischemic time. The high-yield group had significantly longer digestion times and shorter collection times. CONCLUSIONS TLM, trypsin inhibition, complete digestion, and quick collections were key for successful islet isolation. Analysis of nonhuman primate islet isolation techniques provided useful information, which should help to improve clinical islet transplantation.

Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) are major factors in gastritis and peptic ulcer However, the role of NSAIDs and H. pylori infection in dyspepsia remains unclear. Gastric adaptive relaxation may be related to the pathogenesis of functional dyspepsia because the response is often disturbed in dyspeptic patients. In this study, we investigated the effects of indomethacin or H. pylori water extracts on gastric adaptive relaxation. This experiment was performed using the modified method of Desai et al. Isolated guinea-pig stomach in an organ bath was monitored for intragastric pressure and volume. Adaptive relaxation was induced by gastric luminal distention. The effects of indomethacin and H. pylori on gastric relaxation were tested in this system. Indomethacin (> 1 x 10(-5) M) significantly inhibited adaptive relaxation. Indomethacin (> 3 x 10(-6) M) induced gastric relaxation in a dose-dependent fashion. However, aspirin at a concentration sufficient for cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 inhibition did not induce gastric relaxation. Preincubation with N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, a nitric oxide (NO)-synthase inhibitor, inhibited indomethacin-induced gastric relaxation. Adaptive relaxation was not affected by H. pylori water extracts. In conclusion, indomethacin inhibited adaptive relaxation via prior gastric relaxation. NO production, but not COX-1 inhibition, may be involved in this effect of indomethacin. H. pylori water extracts may not have direct effects on adaptive relaxation. Inhibition of adaptive relaxation may be one of the major mechanisms underlying NSAID-induced dyspepsia.

Abstract
High-efficiency somatic gene transfer in adult mouse heart has not yet been achieved in vivo. Here, we demonstrate high-efficiency in vivo transcoronary gene delivery to the adult murine myocardium using a catheter-based technique with recombinant adenovirus (AdV) and adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors in normal and genetically engineered mice. The method involves immersion hypothermia followed by transient aortic and pulmonary artery occlusion with proximal intra-aortic segmental injection of cardioplegic solution containing substance P and viral vectors. Gene expression measured using a LacZ marker gene was observed throughout both ventricles. The expression efficiency of a cytoplasmic LacZ marker gene in the left ventricular myocardium was 56.4+/-14.5% (mean+/-s.d.) at 4 days with an AdV vector, and with an AAV vector it was 81.0+/-5.9% at 4 weeks. Following AAV gene transfer, no gene expression was found in kidney, brain, lung, and spleen, but there was slight expression in liver. In addition, we demonstrate temporally controlled genetic manipulation in the heart with an efficiency of 54.6+/-5.2%, by transferring an AdV vector carrying Cre recombinase in ROSA26 flox-LacZ reporter mice. Procedure-related mortality was 16% for AdV and zero for AAV transfer. Thus, this method provides efficient, relatively homogeneous gene expression in both ventricles of the adult mouse heart, and offers a novel approach for conditional gene rescue or ablation in genetically engineered mouse models.

Abstract
We investigated the effects of itopride hydrochloride (itopride, N-[4-[2-(dimethylamino)ethoxy]benzyl]-3,4-dimethoxybenzamide hydrochloride), a gastroprokinetic agent, on the colonic motor activity in vitro and in vivo, in comparison with benzamides, cisapride hydrate (cisapride), and mosapride citrate (mosapride). Itopride stimulated both peristaltic and segmental motility induced by applying intraluminal pressure to the isolated guinea pig colon. Although cisapride and mosapride enhanced the segmental motility, they markedly reduced the peristaltic motility. In conscious dogs with implanted strain gauge force transducers, itopride stimulated contractile activity in the gastrointestinal tract from the stomach to the colon. Cisapride stimulated contractile activity in the gastric antrum, ileum, and ascending colon. Mosapride stimulated contractile activity only in the gastric antrum and ileum. In guinea pigs and rats, itopride accelerated colonic luminal transit. On the other hand, cisapride and mosapride failed to enhance colonic transit. These results demonstrate that itopride has a stimulatory action on colonic peristalsis, propelling colonic luminal contents, different from that of cisapride and mosapride. Therefore, itopride may be a useful drug for the treatment of functional bowel disorders such as functional constipation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mutations in the human NOD2/CARD15 gene have been associated with Crohn's disease and Blau syndrome. The objective of the present study was to clone the murine form of NOD2 and characterize its tissue distribution, function and response to inflammatory stimuli. METHODS Murine NOD2 was isolated using anchored polymerize chain reaction (PCR). Sequence analysis confirmed the identification of full-length cDNA representing the murine NOD2 gene. Using this sequence to search a Mus musculus supercontig database, NOD2 genomic DNA was identified. NOD2 was transfected into human embryonic kidney (HEK) cells and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappaB) activation was measured using a reporter assay. Tissue distribution and changes in transcription in mouse monocytes in response to inflammatory stimuli was determined by real time PCR. RESULTS The NOD2 gene spans 39 KB and contains 12 coding exons on chromosome 8. Expression of mouse NOD2 into HEK cells resulted in NF-kappaB activation. NOD2 was found to be expressed in all mouse tissues analyzed except skin, with highest levels in lung, thymus and spleen. NOD2 mRNA levels increased greater than two-fold in a monocyte cell line in response to lipopolysaccharide, lipoteichoic acid, interferon-g and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. CONCLUSIONS Common structural and functional features between human and mouse NOD2 were identified. This should allow for development of relevant animal models to evaluate the role of NOD2 in chronic inflammatory disorders.

Abstract
We investigated the laxative and anti-diarrheal activity of polycarbophil, an insoluble hydrophilic polymer, in comparison with other agents used for treating functional bowel disorder (FBD). In naive rats, polycarbophil (500 mg/kg) increased fecal weight and water contents without producing diarrhea. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) did not produce evident changes in bowel movement. Picosulfate markedly produced diarrhea. Loperamide, trimebutine and granisetron decreased stool output dose-dependently. Constipation, indicated by decrease in fecal weight, was produced by loperamide and clonidine in rats. Polycarbophil (500 mg/kg) and CMC increased fecal weight without diarrhea. Conversely trimebutine further decreased fecal weight in constipated rats. Polycarbophil (500 mg/kg) suppressed diarrhea induced by castor oil, and at 250-500 mg/kg, it produced shaped stools in animals with stools loosened by prostaglandin E2, serotonin or carbachol in mice. Polycarbophil (500 mg/kg) also reduced stools in rats with stool output increased by wrap restraint stress (WRS). CMC had no effect in the diarrhea models, except for carbachol-induced diarrhea, and WRS-induced evacuation. Loperamide, trimebutine and granisetron inhibited diarrhea production and WRS-induced evacuation, except for carbachol-induced diarrhea. The results show that polycarbophil prevents constipation and diarrhea without inducing diarrhea or constipation, which is different from the other agents. Hydrophilic polymers such as polycarbophil will be promising agents for the treatment of FBD.

Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort and abnormal defecation. Polycarbophil calcium, a water-absorbing polymer, is expected to improve stool consistency. Polycarbophil calcium decalcified under the acidic condition and then absorbed 70 times its weight of water under the neutral condition. In in situ experiments using rat jejunum and colon, polycarbophil decreased water absorption by the intestine without affecting water secretion. Polycarbophil inhibited prostaglandin E2-, 5-hydroxy-L-tryptophan- and castor oil-induced diarrhea in mice or rats. Polycarbophil calcium also inhibited sennoside-induced diarrhea in dogs. Polycarbophil increased the weight of feces in naive or low-fiber diet feeding rats. In naive dogs, polycarbophil calcium increased stool frequency, stool weight and moisture. Polycarbophil was not absorbed from the gastrointestine, not metabolized and eliminated into feces in rats and dogs. Polycarbophil calcium did not affect the absorption of coadministered drugs in dogs. In the dose-finding clinical study for IBS, polycarbophil calcium was effective both in diarrhea and constipation. In the Phase III study, polycarbophil calcium was superior to trimebutine maleate in efficacy and equal in safety. Emesis/vomiting and thirst were observed, but episodes of diarrhea or constipation by excessive action were few. Polycarbophil calcium seems promising as an anti-IBS agent.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the primary event that occurs in Ca2+-regulatory sarcoplasmic-reticular (SR) proteins during subacute transition from concentric/mechanically-compensated left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy to eccentric/decompensated hypertrophy. Using Dahl salt-sensitive rats with hypertension, changes of myocardial contraction, intracellular Ca2+ transients, SR Ca2+ uptake, protein levels of SR Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2), phospholamban, and calsequestrin (CSQ), and mRNA levels of SERCA2 and CSQ were serially determined and compared between the established stage of LV hypertrophy (LVH) and the subsequent stage of overt LV dysfunction (CHF). In LVH, isolated LV papillary muscle preparations showed an equal peak-tension level and a mild prolongation of the isometric tension decay compared to those of age-matched controls. The Ca2+ transients as measured by aequorin were unchanged. The Ca2+ uptake of isolated SR vesicles and the protein/mRNA levels of SR proteins were also equivalent to those of the controls. In contrast, in CHF, the failing myocardium showed a further prolongation of the contraction time course and a 39% reduction of the peak-tension development. The Ca2+ transients showed changes consisting of a decrease in the peak level and a prolongation of the time course. In addition, the SR Ca2+ uptake was decreased by 41%. Despite these functional changes, the protein and mRNA levels of the SR components remained equivalent to those of the age-matched controls. Thus, in this hypertensive animal, 1) at the LVH stage, myocardial contractility and intracellular capability to regulate Ca2+ remained normal; 2) at the CHF stage, impaired SR Ca2+ handling and the subsequent reduction of myocardial contraction were in progress; and 3) impairments of SR function occurred at the post-translational protein level rather than at the transcriptional/translational levels. Our findings support the role of SR proteins as the primary determinant of the contractile dysfunction that occurs during the heart-failure transition; however, post-translational modulators of these SR elements may also be critical.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In view of their mutual crosstalk, the roles of angiotensin II (Ang II) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in the myocardium are assumed to be synergistic and supplemental. METHODS AND RESULTS In the phase of compensated left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy of Dahl salt-sensitive rats, Ang II peptide and the ACE mRNA in the LV were increased by 1.6- and 3.8-fold, respectively. In contrast, ET-1 peptide and the preproET-1 mRNA remained unchanged. In subsequent congestive heart failure (CHF), Ang II and ACE mRNA did not show further increases. But ET-1 and the mRNA were increased de novo by 5.3- and 4.1-fold, respectively. In ascending aorta-banded rats, the local activations of Ang II and ET-1 also showed a differential time course between LV hypertrophy and CHF. Long-term treatments of Dahl salt-sensitive rats with temocapril (an ACE inhibitor) and with bosentan (a mixed ET receptor blocker) equally improved long-term survival. Temocapril reduced the LV/body weight ratio and ameliorated LV fractional shortening. Conversely, although bosentan equally improved fractional shortening, it did not reduce the increase in LV mass. Combined treatment with these 2 drugs further ameliorated the animal's survival without additional decreases in systolic pressure. CONCLUSIONS The pathophysiological roles in the myocardium during the transition to CHF differ qualitatively between Ang II and ET-1. Thus, long-term therapy with a combination of ACE inhibition and ET antagonism may provide a new approach for heart failure in humans.

Abstract
The Tax protein of human T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), an oncoprotein that transactivates viral and cellular genes, plays a key role in HTLV-1 replication and pathogenesis. We used cDNA microarrays to examine Tax-mediated transcriptional changes in the human Jurkat T-cell lines JPX-9 and JPX-M which express Tax and Tax-mutant protein, respectively, under the control of an inducible promoter. Approximately 300 of the over 2000 genes examined were differentially expressed in the presence of Tax. These genes were grouped according to their function and are discussed in the context of existing findings in the literature. There was strong agreement between our results and genes previously reported as being Tax-responsive. Genes that were differentially expressed in the presence of Tax included those related to apoptosis, the cell cycle and DNA repair, signaling factors, immune modulators, cytokines and growth factors, and adhesion molecules. Functionally, we provide evidence that one of these genes, the mixed-lineage kinase MLK-3, is involved in Tax-mediated NF-kappa-B signaling. Our current results provide additional insights into Tax-mediated signaling.

Abstract
In regions of focal adhesion, cells adhere to a substrate through the interaction of extracellular matrix proteins and transmembrane integrins which are coupled to the cell skeleton. It is generally assumed that the plasma membrane is brought to close proximity to the substrate there. We used the novel method of fluorescence interference contrast (FLIC) microscopy to measure the distance of the plasma membrane of GD25 fibroblasts on silica coated with fibronectin. We correlated the distance map with the distribution of vinculin tagged with green fluorescent protein. We found that the major part of the membrane was separated by 50 nm from the substrate. With respect to this plateau, we found spots of upward deformation and of close adhesion as well as a general ruffling of the membrane. There was no correlation between the areas of close adhesion and the distribution of vinculin. We conclude that focal adhesion does not imply a close attachment of membrane and substrate.

Abstract
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are involved in the early development of cardiac hypertrophy, but their roles in chronic left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are unclear. We studied the angiotensin (Ang) II-induced cardiac MAPK activation of the hypertensive Dahl salt-sensitive (DS) rats in the subacute developing LVH stage, the chronic compensated LVH stage, and the congestive heart failure (CHF) stage. In the isolated, coronary-perfused heart preparation, Ang II infusion (1x10(-6)mol/l) activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38-MAPK in the LV myocardium. No substantial differences were observed in the Ang II-induced ERK activation between the normotensive control DS rats and the hypertensive DS rats in either stage. In contrast, the Ang II-induced activation of JNK and p38-MAPK was augmented in the subacute LVH stage of the hypertensive DS rats, but then progressively attenuated in the chronic LVH and CHF stages. Chronic treatment with an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor, temocapril (20 mg/kg/day), ameliorated the responsiveness of the JNK/p38-MAPK activation, suggesting that the decreased JNK/p38-MAPK activation is a consequence of negative feedback regulation for the activated cardiac renin-angiotensin system in chronic LVH and CHF. Thus, the Ang II-induced activation of multiple cardiac MAPK pathways are differentially regulated, depending on the stages of chronic hypertrophic process. The JNK and p38-MAPK activation may be involved in the early development of adaptive LVH. However, the responsiveness of the cardiac JNK/p38-MAPK pathways progressively decreased in chronic LVH and CHF under the chronic activation of tissue renin-angiotensin system.

Abstract
Novel benzamide derivatives (19-24, 32a-c, 43d-f), each possessing a cycloaminoalkanecarboxylic acid side chain, were synthesized and their gastrointestinal prokinetic and dopamine D2 receptor antagonist activities were evaluated. 4-[(4-Amino-5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoyl)amino]-1-piperidineacetic acid (19) exhibited the most potent gastro- and colon-prokinetic activities, through intravenous administration to conscious dogs, and also showed the reduced dopamine D2 receptor antagonistic activity. However, 19 showed only weak gastrointestinal prokinetic activity after oral administration. Several ester prodrugs (44-62) of 19 were tested for pharmacological activities as well as physicochemical and metabolic stability; the butyl ester (46) was consequently selected as a promising gastrointestinal prokinetic agent with reduced side effects.

Abstract
EBV-encoded small RNAs (EBERs) are non-polyadenylated and abundantly transcribed RNAs, whose functions have not yet been fully elucidated. Here, we report that the EBV-negative B lymphoma cell line, BJAB, was rendered more malignant and resistant to apoptosis by EBERs. EBER-transfected cells exhibited enhanced growth potential in SCID mice as well as in soft agar, and showed resistance to apoptotic stimuli in comparison with the vector control. EBERs inhibited the activity of the double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase, PKR, which is reputed to act as a tumor-suppressor. These results suggest that EBERs play an important role in the pathogenesis of EBV-associated malignancies through the inhibition of PKR.

Abstract
Tax protein expressed by human T cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is a strong trans-activator of its own LTR promoter; it also affects the function of multiple cellular genes involved in cell cycle control and transcription. One way in which Tax exerts its pleiotropic effects is through protein-protein interaction with cellular cofactors. By using yeast two-hybrid technology, we have isolated several cellular proteins that bind to Tax. Two of these are MAD1, a mitotic checkpoint control protein, and TXBP151, a suppressor of tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced apoptosis. Here we discuss findings describing the role of MAD1 in exit of cells from mitosis and TXBP151 in NF-kappaB activation.

Abstract
We studied the effects of prolonged anaesthesia (4.3-7.7 h) with sevoflurane and halothane on hepatic function in 14 paediatric patients. Hepatic function was assessed using serum concentrations of liver-specific glutathione S-transferase alpha (GSTA) before and 0, 3 and 15 h after the end of anaesthesia. A transient significant increase in GSTA over baseline was observed in the sevoflurane group, but not in the halothane group, and the difference between the groups was not significant. These data suggest that, although statistically insignificant, the use of sevoflurane for prolonged anaesthesia in paediatric patients is more likely than halothane to be involved in damage to hepatic function.

Abstract
Hypothermia causes vascular endothelial damage that leads to graft microcirculation disorder and eventually thrombosis after reperfusion. The two-layer cold storage method (TL) was previously demonstrated to supply oxygen to the pancreas graft and maintain high adenosine triphosphate tissue concentration. In this study, we evaluated whether mild hypothermic (20 degrees C) preservation using the TL method could reduce endothelial damage while maintaining parenchymal viability. Graft survival by 20 degrees C preservation was investigated using a dog segmental pancreas autotransplantation model (simple storage in University of Wisconsin solution (UW) for 5 and 8 hours or TL for 5, 8, 12, and 24 hrs. respectively). Subsequently, the grafts were preserved in four different conditions (4 and 20 degrees C UW. 4 and 20 degrees C TL) for 8 hours to evaluate microvascular endothelial damage. Trypan blue uptake of vascular endothelium and pancreatic tissue perfusion were evaluated. No graft preserved by 20 degrees C UW for 5 and 8 hours survived (0/7 and 0/4). In contrast, the graft survival rates by 20 degrees C TL for 5, 8, 12, and 24 hours were 100% (5/5), 80% (4/5), 20% (1/5), and 0% (0/4), respectively. In trypan blue uptake analysis, there were significant differences between 4 and 20 degrees C in both UW and TL (4 degrees C UW, 37% [n = 5) vs. 20 degrees C UW, 13% [n = 4] [p < 0.01]; 4 degrees C TL, 29% [n = 5] vs. 20 degrees C TL, 10% [n = 5] [p < 0.011). The perfusion values in 20 degrees C TL were significantly higher than those in other groups at least for up to 120 minutes after reperfusion (p < 0.01 ). In short-term pancreas preservation, mild hypothermic TL reduced vascular endothelial cell damage and ameliorated graft microcirculation while maintaining parenchymal viability. Mild hypothermic TL may lessen vascular complications in clinical pancreas transplantation when used for several-hour preservation.

Abstract
The development of sporocysts of Schistosoma mansoni was monitored in pigmented and albino Biomphalaria glabrata from Puerto Rico and Brazil. The snails were exposed individually to 20 miracidia, and sporocysts were allowed to develop for 3 to 12 weeks. Most of the immature sporocysts were found in the seminal receptacle sac and vas deferens during development. In contrast, mature daughter sporocysts were detected everywhere except in the foot at 12 weeks after exposure to the miracidia. It was found that mature daughter sporocysts formed more rapidly in the pigmented than in the albino snails, but no difference was observed in the formative time between the same types of Puerto Rican and Brazilian snails. It seems likely that there is a correlation between the infection rate and the time required for formation of mature daughter sporocysts in B. glabrata.

Abstract
A 35-year-old woman with a 6-month history of ulcerative colitis and treatment with oral mesalazine (5-aminosalicylic acid) developed dry cough, low-grade fever and bilaterally wandering pulmonary infiltrates. Improvement in clinical symptoms and radiological abnormalities occurred spontaneously after discontinuation of mesalazine. The transbronchial lung biopsy demonstrated the organizing stage of eosinophilic pneumonia. Drug lymphocyte stimulation test was positive for mesalazine and negative for sulfasalazine and sulfapyridine. The present case indicates that although mesalazine-induced eosinophilic pneumonia is an extremely rare entity, its possibility should be fully considered in patients developing unexplained respiratory symptoms while on mesalazine therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Supplemental myocardial hypertrophy induced by insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 may prevent transition from hypertrophy to heart failure under chronic mechanical overload. BACKGROUND Several studies have suggested that IGF-1 treatment may be beneficial in chronic heart failure. In addition, recent studies indicated that the amount of alpha-myosin heavy chain (MHC) plays a significant hemodynamic role in large animals including humans. METHODS We treated Dahl salt-sensitive hypertensive rats on a long-term basis with IGF-1. The effects were compared with those produced by treatment using a sub-antihypertensive dose of temocapril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. At 11 weeks, when these rats displayed compensated left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), they were randomized to three groups: 1) IGF group (3 mg/kg/day); 2) temocapril group (1 mg/kg/day); and 3) vehicle (control) group. RESULTS After 15 weeks, the control rats showed left ventricular (LV) enlargement and severe LV dysfunction and rapidly died of pulmonary congestion (mean survival time: 16.8+/-0.5 weeks). The survival time was significantly shortened (15.6+/-0.3 weeks) in the IGF-1 group but significantly prolonged (19.5+/-0.6 weeks) in the temocapril group. The rats in the IGF-1 group showed accelerated LV dilation and dysfunction. Of the several parameters investigated, it was found that the relative amounts of MHC isoforms differed among the three groups. The alpha-MHC mRNA level was decreased by 52% (p<0.01) in the IGF group, while it increased by 58% (p<0.01) in the temocapril group compared with the control group. These changes were related to the progression of LV dysfunction. CONCLUSIONS Supplemental myocardial hypertrophy with long-term IGF-1 treatment may not be beneficial if concentric LVH already exists. Our data suggest that IGF-1 may not protect myocardial performance when its hypertrophic effect aggravates the reduction of alpha-MHC. By contrast, the ACE inhibitor may improve myocardial function and prognosis by preventing the down-regulation of this isoform.
