    Notes: 1. The antiarrhythmic properties of 5–(3-tert-butylarnino-2-hydroxy)propoxy-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril hydrochloride (OPC-1085) were compared with those of propranolol and pindolol using various kinds of preparations for experimental arrhythmia in dogs.2. Although OPC-1085 was the most potent drug to antagonize adrenaline-induced arrhythmia in animals anaesthetized with either pentobarbitone sodium or halothane, it was scarcely effective on ouabain-induced arrhythmia in pentobarbitone sodium anaesthetized animals.3. When these compounds were administered intravenously to conscious dogs 24 h after two-stage ligation of the anterior descending artery, ectopic ventricular beats of coronary ligation-induced arrhythmia were reduced while regular sinus beats were simultaneously increased.4. OPC-1085 was very effective on aconitine-induced arrhythmia in dogs anaesthetized with pentobarbitone sodium. The effective dose was similar to that of propranolol but about fifteen times less than that of pindolol.5. It is concluded that different potencies among these β-adrenoreceptor antagonists against various kinds of experimental arrhythmias cannot be simply deduced from any one of the following properties; β-adrenoreceptor antagonism, intrinsic myocardial stimulation, local anaesthetic and so-called quinidine-like effects.

    Notes: The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the effects of unilateral masseter muscle pain on the jaw-jerk reflex. The latency and peak-to-peak amplitude of bilateral electromyographic activity recorded at the masseter muscles during the jaw-jerk reflex were measured in 18 patients with craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) with strictly unilateral masseter pain or tenderness and 10 control subjects using a computerized recording and analysis system. The reflex was elicited, at the mandibular rest position, by tapping the centre of the chin downwards with a reflex hammer incorporating a microswitch that triggered the sweep of the recording apparatus upon contact with the chin. In the CMD group, the jaw-jerk latency on the affected side (6·89±0·98 ms) was significantly shorter (P〈0·01) than that on the unaffected side (7·59±0·92 ms). In the control group, there was no difference between the jaw-jerk latencies on the right (7·06±0·64 ms) and the left (7·08±0·65 ms) sides. The range of side asymmetry for jaw-jerk latencies in the CMD group was greater than that in the control group. In six patients, the latency difference exceeded 1 ms. The asymmetry of latency of the jaw-jerk reflex was thought to be due to facilitation on the side with masseter pain or tenderness. This facilitation on the ipsilateral side might be produced by enhanced gamma drive induced by sustained nociceptive stimulation. Such effects may be related with clinically derived concepts regarding such muscle dysfunction as myospastic activity or trigger points.

    Notes: Abstract. We studied the effects of ebselen on rat lung inflammatory responses against ozone exposure. Rats were treated with ebselen every 12 h from 1 h before a single 4-h exposure to 2 ppm ozone. Treatment with ebselen (10 mg/kg) significantly decreased pulmonary inflammation as indicated by the albumin concentration and the number of neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid 18 h after the ozone exposure. Although treatment with ebselen did not alter the macrophage expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase after the ozone exposure, it did markedly inhibit the nitration reaction of tyrosine residues, suggesting that ebselen scavenges peroxynitrite during ozone-induced pulmonary inflammation. Treatment with ebselen also enhanced the pulmonary expression of both copper, zinc, and manganous superoxide dismutases at the same time point. These enzymes may also contribute to a decrease in the formation of peroxynitrite by lowering the concentration of superoxide. Thus, ebselen represents a useful compound for protecting against certain acute lung injuries by modulating the oxidant-related inflammatory process.

    Notes: Summary On the basis of the amino acid composition of the chromophore peptides, it can be assumed that Asp, Ser and 1/2 Cys are located near the biliverdin chromophore. Experiments for splitting of the chromophore lead us to expect a thioether bond in the linkages between biliverdin and apoprotein.

    Notes: Abstract The dependence of the dissolution temperature (T sol) of isotactic polyacrylonitrile (PAN) on tacticity was studied for three dinitrile solvents. A linear relationship was obtained in the inverse plots of the tacticity dependence of the T sol of PAN. A phenomenological analogy between the tacticity dependence of the T sol of isotactic PAN and the molecular-weight dependence of the glass-transition temperature of amorphous polystyrene is discussed from a thermodynamic point of view. The linear relationships in both phenomena are explained in terms of a common mechanism: a breakdown of thermodynamic competition, enthalpy, and entropy through the segment mobility. The significance of segment concept and molecular mobility at elevated temperatures are discussed.

    Notes: Summary The defective step of a temperature-sensitive mutant of western equine encephalitis virus, which synthesize viral RNA but not mature virus at the restrictive temperature, was studied. Cells infected with the mutant virus at the restrictive temperature synthesized the same intracellular viral RNA as that in wild type infection. Cells infected with the mutant at the restrictive temperature formed three proteins (E1, E2 and C) which migrated to positions identical with those of purified virions and a precursor protein of E2 (PE2). The mutant virus was also able to form cytoplasmic nucleocapsids sedimenting at 140S as in the case of wild type infection. On the other hand, cells infected with the mutant could not induce a significant amount of hemadsorbing ability and the ability induced at the permissive temperature disappeared immediately after shifting up to the restrictive temperature. These results suggested that the mutant virus produced a defective envelope protein responsible for hemagglutination at the restrictive temperature. Owing to the incompleteness of the modification of the cell plasma membrane by the envelope proteins, viral nucleocapsids in the mutant infected cells could not bind to the plasma membrane.

    Notes: Abstract The Borg (binder of Rho GTPases) family proteins interact with CDC42 and TC10 in a guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-dependent manner. We have isolated a full-length cDNA of the mouse Borg4 gene, which is a member of this family. Sequence analysis revealed that this gene encoded a putative 349-amino acid protein. By reverse transcription — coupled polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis, we observed that Borg4 was expressed ubiquitously in adult tissues. Additionally, we determined the entire cDNA sequence of the putative human Borg4 orthologue. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, mouse Borg4 and the putative human orthologue have been assigned to mouse chromosome 11E and human chromosome 17q24–25, which has been described as syntenic to the mouse region.

    Notes: Abstract We identified a novel interstitial deletion that spanned from exons 5 to 10 of KAL1 in two Japanese brothers with X-linked Kallmann syndrome (KS; MIM no. 308700). Both brothers had hypogonadism, unilateral renal agenesis, and disturbance of the sense of smell, but they had no other neurological manifestations, including mental disturbance. Their mother was confirmed to be an asymptomatic carrier, by use of a comparative multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The present patients are further examples of patients with KS without mental disturbance caused by a mutation confined to KAL1.
