    Notes: Summary The aim of this population-based, one-to-one matched-pair case-control study was to evaluate the factors concerning the markedly increased risk for dying among Japanese subjects with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) from a social and behavioural perspective. The study was based on the population-based cohort of IDDM subjects in the Diabetes Epidemiology Research International Mortality Study. We studied 90 cases who died and 90 living control subjects, selected from the rest of the cohort, who were matched for sex, birth year, year of diagnosis and duration of diabetes. Socioeconomic and behavioural status were surveyed through a questionnaire. Conditional logistic regression analyses based on 55 respondent pairs revealed that the better educated patients (year of completing education: odds ratio =0.66) who kept the same physician (number of times a patient changed physician: odds ratio =2.77) and who attended a clinic specializing in diabetes (attendance at university hospital clinic: odds ratio =0.18) injecting insulin several times a day (number of injections, odds ratio =0.31) and more frequently attending the clinic (≥ 12 times per year, odds ratio =0.23) were at substantially lower risk of death. The results begin to profile the patients with the highest risk of dying who could be identified earlier and undergo intervention treatment.

    Notes: Summary The aim of this study was to evaluate the geographic variation in mortality among individuals with youth-onset insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) across the world. The study was based on the currently available IDDM incidence and mortality data. Mortality data for diabetes in the 0–24 year age group were obtained from World Health Organization (WHO) statistics. The mortality rates were adjusted for the frequency of occurrence of IDDM by dividing the mortality rates by the IDDM incidence rates which were obtained from the WHO DiaMond project. There was a more than 10-fold geographic variation in mortality between the developed countries and Eastern European populations. The areas with the highest mortality rates were located in Japan, Eastern Europe and Russia. The areas having the best outcome associated with IDDM were Northern Europe, Central Europe, and Canada. An ecological study demonstrated a relationship between the incidence-adjusted mortality (estimated case-fatality) with IDDM incidence itself (Spearman's correlation coefficient = –0.45) as well as infant mortality and life expectancy at birth. These data demonstrated the possibility of an enormous geographic variation in mortality of youth-onset diabetic patients even in developed countries. It is important to note that these excess deaths are potentially preventable. The ecological study also suggested that the mortality differences may be in part related to overall and diabetes related care. [Diabetologia (1997) 40: 212–216]

    Notes: Abstract Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that is not only a mediator in major immunologic reactions but also a growth factor of keratinocytes. We studied the IL-6 secretion in vitro of 15 human cell lines derived from both squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. Four of the eight well differentiated SCC secreted a large amount (〉 1500 pg/48 h/106 cells) of IL-6 in nude mice. In contrast, poorly differentiated SCC cell lines and all of the 7 adenocarcinoma cell lines secreted a small amount (〈 500 pg/48 h/106 cells of IL-6). The expression of IL-6 mRNA of the cell lines correlated well with their IL-6 secretion potential. However, the expression of IL-6 receptor did not correlate with the IL-6 secretory potential. We also studied the IL-6 secretion of freshly isolated normal squamous epithelium and of dysplastic epithelium. In culture, two normal squamous epithelia secreted a large amount (〉 2000 pg/48 h/106 cells), whereas 8 dysplasia epithelia secreted an extremely small amount (〈 10 pg/48 h/106 cells). About one-third of patients with SCC had a raised serum IL-6 value. IL-6 production may help to differentiate between SCC and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. IL-6 regulation seems to change in the course of SCC carcinogenesis.

    Notes: Abstract. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a pleiotropic cytokine that is not only a mediator in major immunologic reactions but also a growth factor of keratinocytes. We studied the IL-6 secretion in vitro of 15 human cell lines derived from both squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix. Four of the eight well differentiated SCC secreted a large amount (〉1500 pg/48 h/106 cells) of IL-6 in nude mice. In contrast, poorly differentiated SCC cell lines and all of the 7 adenocarcinoma cell lines secreted a small amount (〈500 pg/48 h/106 cells of IL-6). The expression of IL-6 mRNA of the cell lines correlated well with their IL-6 secretion potential. However, the expression of IL-6 receptor did not correlate with the IL-6 secretory potential. We also studied the IL-6 secretion of freshly isolated normal squamous epithelium and of dysplastic epithelium. In culture, two normal squamous epithelia secreted a large amount (〉2000 pg/48 h/106 cells), whereas 8 dysplasia epithelia secreted an extremely small amount (〈10 pg/ 48 h/106 cells). About one-third of patients with SCC had a raised serum IL-6 value. IL-6 production may help to differentiate between SCC and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.

    Notes: Abstract Wide hybridization that cannot be attained through conventional sexual crosses, can now be approached by somatic hybridization. Protoplasts of I. ensata and I. germanica were fused by electrofusion. For the selection of somatic hybrids, protoplasts of I. ensata which did not form colonies in protoplast culture and protoplasts of I. germanica which had regeneration ability for only albino shoot were used in symmetric fusion. On the other hand, the protoplasts of I. ensata and I. germanica protoplasts which were inactivated by iodoacetamide (IOA) treatment were used in asymmetric fusion. Five-six months after cell fusion, green plants were obtained in the symmetric and asymmetric fusion. In the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis, the green plants had bands specific to both parental species. Therefore, these plants were somatic hybrids between I. ensata and I. germanica.
