    Notes: Abstract Adenocarcinoma of the small intestine is uncommon. Due to this paucity and the lack of specificity of symptoms, patients are usually seen late in the course of their illness, when curative therapy, mainly represented by extensive surgical resection, is unlikely. The authors report a case of primary well-differentiated tubular adenocarcinoma (T4N0M0) arising in the duodenal limb of a reconstructed Billroth I gastroduodenostomy, 9 years after a distal gastrectomy for signet-ring cell carcinoma of the stomach (T4N0M0). Evidence for excluding the possibility of a recurrence of the primary gastric cancer was based on the different histologic pattern, the long disease-free interval, and other features of the second neoplasm. Relatively early diagnosis of the neoplasm, followed by curative surgical therapy was made possible by the early onset of the obstructive symptoms and the favorable anatomical location of the tumor.

    Notes: Abstract A rare case of benign diaphragmatic schwannoma in a 38-year-old female is reported. Precontrast computed tomography (CT) showed an encapsulated well-defined round homogeneous tumor with central calcification, measuring approximately 5 cm in diameter, arising from the left diaphragm. Contrast-enhanced CT and gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed focal enhancement in the central portion of the tumor. The tumor showed a typical target appearance of increased peripheral signal intensity and decreased central signal intensity on unenhanced T2-weighted images. Pathological examination of resected specimens of the tumor showed two zonal histological components: a hypercellular portion of spindle cells with nuclear palisading (Antoni A tissue) and a hypocellular portion of cells with cystic degeneration, together with focal calcification and hemangeomatous vascular changes (Antoni B tissue). We consider the radiological characteristics of diaphragmatic schwannoma on CT and MR imagings to represent the geographic difference between the histologic zones of the tumor.

    Notes: Abstract To study the functions of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism and the relationship between LPL and atherosclerosis, we generated transgenic rabbits expressing the human LPL gene. A total of 4045 Japanese whiterabbit embryos were microinjected with a 3.8-kb SalI/HindIII fragment containing the chicken β-actin promoter, human LPL cDNA and rabbit β-globin with poly (A) signals, and then transplanted into 116 recipient rabbits. Of the 166 pups born, six pups were transgenic as confirmed by Southern blot analysis. ANorthern blot analysis revealed that human LPL was expressed by a number of tissues including the heart, kidney, adrenal gland and intestine. One transgenic rabbit showed up to 3-foldincreased LPL activity in post-heparin plasma compared to thatin nontransgenic rabbits. Human LPL expression in various tissues of transgenic rabbits was further elucidated by in situ hybridization and immunostaining. Since rabbits are superior to mice as a model of atherosclerosis, this transgenicrabbit model should provide a valuable tool for the study of LPL in lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis.
