    Notes: Background: Aspirin is known to cause adverse effects, including gastric mucosal injury, and to retard gastric wound healing. Growth factors including hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) have been shown to play an important role in the repair of gastric mucosal injury. Aim: To employ the cultured gastric epithelial cell model to elucidate the effects of aspirin, as well as several growth factors (HGF, EGF and IGF-I), on gastric wound repair. Methods: Isolated rabbit gastric epithelial cells (92% mucous cells) were cultured in F-12 medium and formed a complete monolayer cell sheet in 48 h. A wound with a cell-free area of constant size (2 mm 2) was then created and the wound repair process was monitored by measuring wound size every 12 h. Proliferating cells were detected by BrdU staining. Effects of aspirin (8 m m), HGF (10 ng/mL), EGF (10 ng/mL) and IGF-I (30 ng/mL) were assessed. Results: Aspirin significantly retarded wound healing, but simultaneous addition of growth factors significantly accelerated wound repair compared with aspirin alone. Growth factors reversed the aspirin-induced inhibition of cell proliferation. Conclusion: Growth factors, including HGF, EGF and IGF-I, reversed the aspirin-induced inhibition of wound repair through their cytoprotective effects on gastric epithelial cells.

    Notes: Background : A decrease in pepsinogen and gastrin levels 1–3 months after Helicobacter pylori eradication is well known. However, few data are available on the long-term progression of these decreases beyond 1 year after eradication, and there has been no investigation into whether pepsinogen and gastrin levels return to normal levels as defined by data from H. pylori-negative patients with dyspepsia.Aim : We studied the effect of H. pylori eradication on pepsinogen and gastrin levels for more than 1 year, and compared levels to those in H. pylori-negative patients with dyspepsia. We also investigated the effect of H. pylori eradication on the course of atrophic corpus gastritis as reflected by histology, and on PGI levels and PG I/II ratio.Methods : We enrolled 172 H. pylori-positive patients with dyspepsia who had undergone successful eradication therapy of more than 1 year's duration and 101 non-treated H. pylori-negative patients with dyspepsia. H. pylori status was assessed at entry and at each endoscopy after eradication by culture, histological results, the rapid urease test and the urea breath test. In both groups, patients were evaluated for fasting serum pepsinogen I and II and gastrin using a radioimmunoassay technique, and underwent detailed histological assessment according to the updated Sydney System.Results : In the H. pylori-negative patients, mean serum pepsinogen I and II, I/II ratio and gastrin levels were 52.6 ± 20.8 ng/mL, 9.2 ± 4.2 ng/mL, 6.0 ± 1.7 and 53.5 ± 29.2 pg/mL, respectively. In H. pylori-positive patients with long-term eradication, pepsinogen I and II, I/II ratio and gastrin levels were 81.3 ± 46.6 ng/mL, 25.9 ± 17.1 ng/mL, 3.4 ± 1.3 and 131.9 ± 130.8 pg/mL, respectively, before treatment. At 1–3 months after eradication, serum pepsinogen I and II levels in the H. pylori-positive patients decreased to levels similar to those in the negative patients, whereas pepsinogen I/II ratio and gastrin levels remained lower and higher, respectively, than in the negative patients. Serum pepsinogen I/II ratio and gastrin levels then became similar between the groups at 12–15 months after eradication. In histological findings, inflammation and neutrophil activity decreased by 1–3 months, and atrophy in the corpus and metaplasia in the antrum decreased by 12–15 months.Conclusion : The results suggest that atrophic corpus gastritis and superficial gastritis are reversible, as indicated by both histological and serological findings in a long-term follow-up study.

    Notes: Summary To evaluate possible roles of endogenous Na+−K+-ATPase inhibitors in vasoconstricted blood pressure elevation produced by acute volume expansion, we administered ouabain (Na+−K+-ATPase inhibitor) intravenously (30 μg/kg) for 10 min to dogs, 3 h after volume expansion with dextran in lactated Ringer's solution (20 ml/kg, for 1 h). Acute volume expansion resulted in the elevation of blood pressure associated with an increase in cardiac output. In some dogs the blood pressure remained elevated with gradual increase in total peripheral resistance (Group I) or with sustained high cardiac output (Group II), and in other dogs (Group III) it returned to the control level. Ouabain administration elevated the blood pressure and total peripheral resistance in these groups and sham dogs which did not have volume expansion. And these effects of ouabain were not correlated with the degree of blood pressure or vasoconstriction produced by volume expansion. Thus, it is not likely that endogenous Na+−K+-ATPase inhibitors increased to produce vasoconstricted hypertension after acute volume expansion.

    Age-dependent changes in phenotypes and candidate gene analysis in a polygenic animal model of Type II diabetes mellitus; NSY mouse (2000)

    Notes: Abstract Aims/hypothesis. The Nagoya-Shibata-Yasuda (NSY) mouse closely mimics human Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus in that the onset is age-dependent, the animals are not severely obese, and both insulin resistance and impaired insulin response to glucose contribute to disease development. The aim of this study was to clarify the influence of age on the pathogenesis of diabetes and to analyse a candidate gene for Type II diabetes in this strain.¶Methods. Several phenotypic characteristics related to diabetes mellitus were monitored longitudinally in male NSY and control C3H/He mice. The nucleotide sequence of Glut4, a candidate gene for Nidd1nsy (a susceptibility gene for Type II diabetes) on Chromosome 11, encoding insulin-sensitive glucose transporter, was determined in NSY and C3H mice.¶Results. Glucose intolerance worsened with age, and fasting blood glucose and fasting plasma insulin concentration increased with age in NSY mice. Pancreatic insulin content increased until 24 weeks of age but then decreased at 48 weeks of age in NSY mice. The hypoglycaemic response to insulin was statistically significantly smaller in NSY than in C3H/He mice. The nucleotide sequence of GLUT4 cDNA was identical in NSY and C3H/He mice, but both were different from the sequence reported previously.¶Conclusion/interpretation. Insulin secretion and insulin resistance, as well as ageing possibly play an important part in the disease development in NSY mice. A decline of pancreatic insulin content in older age might cause the relative insulin deficiency in this strain. Nucleotide sequencing suggests that Glut4 is unlikely to be a candidate gene for Nidd1nsy. [Diabetologia (2000) 43: 932–938]

    Notes: Summary Two angiotensin II analogues (AIIA), 1-sarcosine, 8-isoleucine angiotensin II ([Sar1, Ile8]-AII) and 1-sarcosine, 8-alanine angiotensin II ([Sar1, Ala8-AII), were infused in six normal volunteers on high, regular and low sodium diets. The agonist and antagonist activities of these AIIA on blood pressure (BP), plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC), creatinine clearance and plasma renin activity were examined. Both AIIA had agonistic pressor activities in subjects on high and regular sodium diets, [Sar1, Ile8]-AII being more potent than [Sar1, Ala8]-AII. Both AIIA caused similar elevation of PAC in subjects on high and regular sodium diets, and an equally fall in PAC in subjects on a low sodium diet. Both AIIA strongly antagonized the rise in BP, the increase in PAC and the reduction of Ccr induced by AII administration in subjects on all three sodium diets. The results indicate that both AIIA can be used to examine the activity of the renin-angiotensin system in patients with hypertension, and they also suggest that AII interaction with its receptors differs in different target tissues.

    Notes: Summary Sex histories and serum samples were obtained from 27 hypertensive men before and after 3 months of therapy with either 100 mg of hydrochlorothiazide or 0.25 mg of reserpine daily. Sera were analyzed for testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, estradiol, luteinizing hormone and prolactin. Both drugs effectively lowered blood pressure. The incidence of impaired sexual performance was low and insignificantly different in the two treatment groups. There were no significant changes in serum hormone concentrations as a result of drug therapy.

    Notes: Summary The biological effects of 1-Sarcosine, 8-Threonine angiotensin II ([Sar1, Thr8]ANG II) on blood pressure, plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) and plasma renin activity (PRA) were investigated in six normal subjects on an unrestricted diet, and compared with those of 1-Sarcosine, 8-Isoleucine ANG II ([Sar1, Ile8]ANG II) and 1-Sarcosine, 8-Alanine ANG II ([Sar1, Ala8]ANG II). All three ANG II analogues (A II A) showed agonistic pressor activity, that of [Sar1, Ile8]ANG II being greater than that of [Sar1, Thr8]ANG II or [Sar1, Ala8]ANG II. The antagonistic effect of [Sar1, Thr8]ANG II on blood pressure was less than [Sar1, Ile8]ANG II or [Sar1, Ala8]ANG II. Both [Sar1, Ile8]ANG II and [Sar1, Ala8]ANG II increased PAC and blocked the steroidogenic action of ANG II, while [Sar1, Thr8]ANG II showed little effect on PAC. All three A II A caused similar suppression of PRA and showed no inhibitory effect on the decrease in PRA produced by ANG II. These results indicate that [Sar1, Thr8] ANG II is an A II A with weak agonistic pressor action and that it has vascular selective properties. It is also suggested that ANG II receptors in a variety of target organs are heterogeneous.
