    Notes: Abstract Endoscopic appearance of the gastrointestinal tract of a patient with severe hemorrhagic enteric graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) is presented. A 29-year-old man with chronic myelogenous leukemia suffered from severe enteric GVHD after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. Endoscopy showed hemorrhagic ulceration of the upper jejunum, terminal ileum, and colon at the onset of melena. Sections of biopsies were compatible with acute GVHD. Repeat endoscopy showed gradual healing of the lesions after steroid pulse and antilymphocyte globulin therapy, but the patient died of cytomegalovirus pneumonitis 14 months later. Autopsy revealed submucosal fibrosis of the small intestine and colon.

    Notes: Summary The emetic effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-HT3 receptor agonists were investigated in the house musk shrew, Suncus murinus. 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; i.p., i.v., s.c.) and 2-methyl-5-HT (2-Me-5HT; i.p.) but not 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (i.p.) or 5-ethoxytryptamine (i.p.) induced emesis with very short latency. Tropisetron (ICS 205-930, a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist, s.c.) blocked the emesis induced by 5-HT (10 mg/kg, i.p.) and 2-Me-5-HT (5 mg/kg, i.p.) with respective ID50 values of 7.8 and 70.9 μg/kg. Pindolol (5-HT1 receptor antagonist) and ketanserin (5-HT2 receptor antagonist) were about 100 times less potent than tropisetron. The emesis induced by 5-HT was prevented by surgical vagotomy but not by pretreatment with a combination of atropine (0.1 mg/kg, s.c.) and hexamethonium (10 mg/kg, s.c.). These results clearly indicate that 5-HT is emetogenic probably through a stimulation of peripheral 5-HT3 receptors.

    Notes: Summary Ca-channel currents were recorded in Cs-loaded single smooth muscle cells from rat vas deferens to define the dependence of the inactivation time course on Ca concentration. The decay of Ca-channel current obtained in a Ba2+- or Sr2+-containing external solution during long voltage-clamp pulses was much slower than that in a Ca-containing solution. The difference was not due to a change in the surface potential of the membrane as judged from the steady-state activation and inactivation curves. When Ca was the charge carrier, increasing external Ca concentration slightly accelerated the rate of inactivation. In addition, the rate of inactivation of Ca-channel current in 10.8mm Ba was also accelerated by adding Ca to the external solution in a concentration-dependent manner. The time course of Ca-current inactivation was slowed when the cells were dialyzed with a high concentration of citrate, a Ca-chelating agent. From these results, we concluded that a mechanism regulated by intracellular Ca activity plays a role in the inactivation of Ca channels in smooth muscle. The Ca-dependent process may protect against Ca overload by regulating Ca entry in smooth muscle cells.

    Notes: Abstract Several organosulfur compounds found in garlic extract promoted the survival of rat hippocampal neurons in vitro. From the analysis of structure-activity relationship, thioallyl group in these compounds is essential for the manifestation of neurotrophic activity. S-Allyl-L-cysteine (SAC), one of the organosulfur compounds having thioallyl group in garlic extract, also promoted the axonal branching of cultured neurons. These results suggest that thioallyl compounds make a unique group of neurotrophic factors.
