    Notes: Abstract In order to determine whether there is a difference in the effect of the hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor pravastatin on cholesterol synthesis between the morning and the evening, we studied the 24-h profile of mevalonate in plasma and urine in 11 subjects with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia. In study 1, eight subjects with familial hypercholesterolaemia took pravastatin (20 mg) once in the morning, and another 20-mg dose in the evening after a 1-week wash-out period. In study 2, five subjects with familial hypercholesterolaemia took pravastatin (20 mg per day) in the morning on 3 consecutive days and on 3 days in the evening after a 1 day wash-out. Plasma mevalonate concentrations were reduced at 9 h and 5 h after pravastatin administration in the morning and the evening, respectively. Urinary mevalonate excretion was significantly reduced at 4–8 h after pravastatin administration in the morning (51 vs 19 nmol · h−1) and at 4–16 h after pravastatin administration in the evening (56 vs 27 nmol · h−1). Daily urinary mevalonate excretion was equally and significantly reduced by pravastatin in the morning or evening. In conclusion, we found that morning and evening administration of pravastatin caused equal reductions in plasma and urinary mevalonate concentrations.

In study 1, eight subjects with familial hypercholesterolaemia took pravastatin (20 mg) once in the morning, and another 20-mg dose in the evening after a 1-week wash-out period. In study 2, five subjects with familial hypercholesterolaemia took pravastatin (20 mg per day) in the morning on 3 consecutive days and on 3 days in the evening after a 1 day wash-out. Plasma mevalonate concentrations were reduced at 9 h and 5 h after pravastatin administration in the morning and the evening, respectively. Urinary mevalonate excretion was significantly reduced at 4–8 h after pravastatin administration in the morning (51 vs 19 nmol ⋅h−1) and at 4–16 h after pravastatin administration in the evening (56 vs 27 nmol ⋅h−1).

    Notes: Abstract Micron-size monodisperse polymer particles having multihollow structures were prepared as follows. First, micron-size monodisperse polystyrene/poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) (PS/P(S-DVB)) composite particles were produced by seeded copolymerization of S and DVB with 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator in the ethanol/water (76/24, weight ratio) medium in the presence of 2.37 μm-size monodisperse PS seed particles produced by dispersion polymerization. The molar ratio of S/DVB was changed in the range of 1/1∼10/1. The uncrosslinked polymer within the composite particles was extracted with toluene under reflux. For the highest DVB content (S/DVB=1/1, molar ratio), one large hollow was observed in a part of the composite particles after the extraction. For the middle DVB content (S/DVB=4/1, molar ratio), multihollow structure was observed in all the particles. For the lowest DVB content (S/DVB=10/1, molar ratio), fine multihollow structure was observed in all the particles.

    Notes: Abstract Micron-size monodisperse polystyrene/polydivinylbenzene (PS/PDVB) composite particles having highly crosslinked structures and vinyl groups were prepared as follows. First, 1.9 μm-size monodisperse PS seed particles produced by dispersion polymerization were dispersed in ethanol/water (70/30, w/w) solution which dissolved divinylbenzene (DVB) monomer, benzoyl peroxide as an initiator and poly(vinyl alcohol) as a stabilizer. The PS seed particles were swollen with a large amount of DVB monomers to 4.3 μm in diameter while keeping good monodispersity by the dynamic swelling method, where water was slowly added, continuously, with a micro feeder into the dispersion. And then, the seeded polymerization of the absorbed DVB was carried out.

    Notes: Abstract We reported that apoptosis occurred in the guinea pig vestibular hair cells after chronic aminoglycoside treatments. In the present study, we used in situ nick-end labeling to determine whether apoptosis was also induced by the acute effects of aminoglycosides in guinea pig ampullar cristae. In addition, we evaluated the effect of zinc supplements upon these ototoxic treatments. After a local application of streptomycin directly to the round window, we found labeled bodies in the vestibular hair cells. The zinc supplement increased the number of labeled bodies resulting in severe hair cell loss. These findings indicate that the acute effects of aminoglycosides also induce apoptosis of the vestibular hair cells, and that zinc enhances aminoglycoside ototoxicity. Consequently, we propose that an interaction with ion channels may play a key mechanism in the processes of apoptosis affecting the vestibular hair cells.

    Notes: Abstract Although aminoglycosides have been investigated for their cochleotoxicity, it has still not been determined whether apoptosis or necrosis results in cochlear hair cell death following aminoglycoside treatment. To study possible mechanisms of cell death, we used in situ DNA break-labeling to examine guinea pig cochleae affected by kanamycin ototoxicity. Chronic kanamycin treatment induced DNA fragmentation that was detectable in both outer and inner hair cells, suggesting the occurrence of apoptosis. These findings suggest that apoptosis achieves deletion of affected hair cells without disrupting tissue architecture in the organ of Corti.
