    Notes: Summary Effects of dorsal root entry zone lesions (DREZLs) on cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma concentrations of neuropeptides, catecholamines, and cyclic nucleotides were studied in 9 patients with intractable chronic pain. Contents of β-endorphin-like-material in CSF decreased in all patients 12–17 days following DREZLs during which complete to good pain relief was achieved. Contents of β-endorphin-like-material in CSF increased again about one month after DREZLs in two and remained unchanged in one of three patients tested, who complained of partial reappearance of pain. Contents of β-endorphin-like-materials in plasma showed no significant changes after DREZLs. Substance P, noradrenaline, adrenaline, and cyclic nucleotide levels in both CSF and plasma were variable among the subjects and did not change significantly following the operations. Thus, the results suggest that production of β-endorphin-like-material in the central nervous system is decreased by DREZL, though the increase in its turn-over might not be neglected. The mechanisms of the decrease in contents of β-endorphin-like-material in CSF after DREZLs were discussed in terms of our current knowledge of pain and pain inhibitory systems.

    Notes: A study of alterations in two mammalian superoxide dismutases (SODs), Cu,Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD, caused by methylmercury has been reviewed. Mechanisms for the isozyme-selective decrease in MnSOD activity by the organometallic compound observed in vivo have been extensively examined by experiments with purified enzyme preparations. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
