    Notes: Summary Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), serum and seminal plasma contain a small amount of SP-40,40, a modulatory protein of the human complement system. The SP-40,40 in each body fluid was different in molecular size on SDS-PAGE, and glioblastoma cells, hepatoma cells and testicular tumor cells produced SP-40,40, while neuroblastoma cells did not. Therefore, it was estimated that CSF SP-40,40 originated in glia cells, serum SP-40,40 in liver cells and seminal plasma SP-40,40 in testicular cells. SP-40,40 concentrations in CSF of the patients with Alzheimer's disease and the patients with cerebral tumor were higher than those of normal donors. β-Amyloid deposits in the brains of the patients with Alzheimer's disease were stained with an anti-SP-40,40 monoclonal antibody (mAb) but not with an anti-S-protein mAb, while cellular processes around β-amyloid were stained with an anti-S-protein mAb but not with an anti-SP-40,40 mAb. Therefore, β-amyloid contained SP-40,40 in a form different from that in the soluble membrane attack complex (SMAC, SC5b-9) of the complement, which contains S-protein as well as SP-40,40.

    Notes: Summary The spinal cord potentials (SCPs) were recorded from the dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) and posterior epidural space in patients before and after dorsal root entry zone lesion (DREZL) during general anaesthesia. The SCPs from the DREZ activated by segmental, ascending and descending volleys were basically the same in fundamental waveform as those recorded from the posterior epidural space. Segmentally activated slow negative (N1) wave, reflecting synchronized activities of dorsal horn neurones, and positive (P2) wave, thought to indicate primary afferent depolarization, were affected by DREZL in all 4 subjects tested, even by contralateral stimulation, suggesting that these components of the segmental SCPs in man partly reflect the activities of the contralateral dorsal horn. The spike-like potentials activated by ascending volleys were not affected by DREZL, while the subsequent slow components were decreased in the lesioned level. This may indicate that ascending spinal cord tracts are not affected by the operation, and suggests that the origin of the slow components by ascending volleys lies at least in part in the segmental dorsal horn. The slow negative and positive components, recorded at a remote segment from DREZL, in response to the descending volleys, were augmented after DREZL, suggesting that activation of ascending or descending inhibition through a feedback loop via the supraspinal structures might occur at least transiently following DREZL. All components of the SCPs activated by descending volleys were decreased or disappeared in recording from the lesioned level, as expected. Thus, intra-operative recording of the SCPs during DREZL might be beneficial for monitoring and studying human spinal cord function.
