    Notes: Abstract Transgenic animals are becoming useful tools for pharmacological studies. The use of transgenic technology raises two types of questions, "How are transgenic animals made?" and "What types of pharmacological questions can be answered using transgenic technologies?" Answers to these questions are discussed in this review. The production of animals with specific genetic alteration can be achieved by two strategies. The first involves the simple addition of DNA sequences to the chromosomes. The second strategy is to select particular genetic loci for site-specific changes. There are two well-established procedures for simple introduction of DNA into an animal genome, pronuclear DNA injection and transduction using a retrovirus. In contrast, methods for targeting specific DNA sequences to definite sites in the chromosomes are evolving rapidly. Some of these procedures can be used in combination to make a different variety of gene alterations in animals. Pharmacological studies where transgenic technology has been extensively used are discussed, including studies in the cardiovascular system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, cancer, and toxicology.

    Notes: Examines the use of the soft systems approach in introducing information technology for an international broadcasting programme. International broadcasting is an important system for transferring knowledge to people in diverse regions. Presents the soft systems methodology in a case example on how the news programme production of an international broadcasting organization in Japan deploys IT. Suggests that any IT deployment should consider the perspectives of IT beneficiaries, IT users, as well as the IT owners. Therefore, all relevant people must be included in the audience of the broadcasts in diverse regions.

    Notes: 1. Ouabain is known to have natriuretic effects only at high doses, and therefore if endogenously produced ouabain has a role in the regulation of sodium excretion, the renal response to ouabain must be increased substantially in certain physiological situations. The aim of this study is to determine whether treatment with the mineralocorticoid, aldosterone, potentiates that natriuretic response to ouabain.2. Six conscious sheep received renal arterial infusion of either vehicle or aldosterone (3 μg/h). Forty hours after commencement of infusion ouabain was infused into the renal artery at 400 μg/h for 60min. A second infusion of ouabain was administered on the 6th day of aldosterone treatment.3. In the absence of aldosterone, the effects on sodium excretion produced by ouabain infusion at 400 μg/h into the renal artery were variable and not statistically significant. Ouabain infusion after 40 h of aldosterone treatment increased sodium excretion from 40 ± 14 to 676 ± 69 μmol/min in the second hour following cessation of ouabain infusion (P〈 0.001). Ouabain infusion after 6 days of aldosterone treatment increased sodium excretion similarly. Ouabain-stimulated sodium excretion was significantly greater during aldosterone treatment compared to vehicle treatment (P〈0.05). In contrast, no enhancement of effect was observed after acute treatment with aldosterone.4. These results demonstrate potentiation of the natriuretic response to ouabain infusion by chronic mineralocorticoid treatment and suggest a potential role of endogenous digitalislike factor in the physiological control of sodium homeo stasisaldo sterone, endogenous digitalis-like factor, ouabain, sodium excretion.

    Herpes zoster in three healthy children immunized with varicella vaccine (Oka/Biken); the causative virus differed from vaccine strain on PCR analysis of the IV variable region (R5) and of a PstI-site region (1997)

    Notes: This study was undertaken to determine whether the causative virus was a vaccine-derived or wild-type virus when zoster occurred in healthy children immunized with varicella vaccine (Oka/Biken). The DNAs of clinical isolated strains and vaccine strain (Oka/Biken) were analysed by the polymerase chain reaction with two sets of primers for the variable region IV (R5 tandem direct reiterations, TDR) and for the region with a PstI site in a middle portion of the long unique segment of the varicella zoster virus genome. Of six zoster patients after vaccination with Biken, three clinical isolates were examined and had two copies in R5 TDR and were PstI-site positive. Therefore, these strains were different from the vaccine-type strain (Oka/Biken), which had two copies in R5 TDR and was PstI-site-negative. The mean age of onset of zoster was 4 years. The mean age of vaccination was 25 months. The mean interval between vaccination and onset of zoster was 22 months. Hence the results indicate that the causative virus of zoster in healthy children immunized with varicella vaccine (Oka/Biken) was wild type and differed from the vaccine strain. Some vaccinees probably do not have protective immunity for a long time after immunization because the mean interval between vaccination and onset of zoster was 22 months.

    Notes: The prolonged half-life of mutant p53 makes feasible its immunocytochemical detection. In order to assess the pathogenetic role of mutant p53 in regenerative and neoplastc liver disease we studied its immunohistochemical expression in cases of hepatic cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cirrhosis with areas of HCC, hepatocellular adenoma and focal nodular hyperplasia. The study included needle and wedge biopsies of 50 cirrhotic livers, 59 HCCs (36 of them with associated cirrhosis), six adenomas and two focal nodular hyperplasias. Sixty-five HCC fineneedle cytology specimens were also included in the study. There was no immunohistochemical evidence of mutant p53 expression in any of the cases of cirrhotic liver (except for one instance associated with HCC) adenoma or focal nodular hyperplasia. In contrast p53 was detected in 8.5% of HCC cases in the biopsy series and 24% of HCC cases in the fine needle aspiration series. In addition, mutant p53 expression in HCC was positively correlated with tumour grade. According to grade, the distribution of p53 positive immunoreactivity among HCCs was as follows: Grade I-II, 0% of cases in the biopsy series and 9% in the fine needle aspirates; Grade III, 18% in the biopsy series and 55% in the fine needle aspirates; and Grade IV, 40% in the biopsy series. Therefore, mutant p53 expression does not seem to be associated with benign liver lesions but seems to correlate with the progression of HCC through various grades of increasing malignancy.

    Purification of an antifungal PR-5 protein from flower buds of Brassica campestris and cloning of its gene (1997)

    Notes: An antifungal pathogenesis-related (PR) group 5 protein with a molecular mass of 27 kDa (BFTP) was purified from flower buds of Brassica campestris. BFTP exhibits antifungal activity against Neurospora crassa, causing rapid release of cytoplasmic material at the hyphal tips of the fungus. BFTP immuno-cross-reacts with antiserum raised against the tobacco osmotin-like PR-5 protein. Using a PCR product generated with the help of two degenerate PCR primers for (1) the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the protein and (2) the conserved peptide domain that appears in all PR-5 proteins, we were able to isolate from a flower-bud cDNA library a cDNA (933 bp) that encodes this protein (pBFTP). The deduced amino acid sequence shows high similarity to PWIR2 from wheat (43%) and thaumatin II from Thaumatococcus daniellii Benth (40%). It contains the 16 cysteine residues that are conserved in all PR-5 proteins at their invariant positions. The cDNA predicts the synthesis of a preprotein which is subsequently processed into the mature protein by removal of an N-terminal signal peptide. The mRNA is predominantly expressed in flower buds, with a moderate level of transcripts detected in stems. Very low levels of the mRNA are present in root and leaf tissue. The gene is a member of a small multigene family in the genome of B. campestris.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of substituent distribution on the water solubility of O-methylcellulose (MC) was re-examined to elucidate the lower limit of the degree of substitution (DS) in water-soluble MC. To this end, a series of 2,3-MCs which are regioselectively substituted at the C-2 and C-3 hydroxyl groups were prepared by homogeneous methylation. It was found that the lower limit for the DS value of water-soluble 2,3-MC was almost the same as that for MCs having even distributions of substituents along the cellulose chain as well as in the anhydroglucose units.

    Notes: Summary  A Theoretical analysis is carried out to study the boundary-layer flow over a continuously moving surface through an otherwise quiescent micropolar fluid. The transformed boundary-layer equations are solved numerically for a power-law surface velocity using the Keller-box method. The effects of the micropolar K and exponent m parameters on the velocity and microrotation field as well as on the skin-friction group are discussed in a detailed manner. It is shown that there is a near-similarity solution of this problem. The accuracy of the present solution is also discussed.
