    Notes: Summary The distribution of somatostatin-like immunoreactive (SOM-LI) nerves was elucidated immunohistochemically in the gut tissues from patients with Hirschsprung's disease and congenital aganglionosis rats. In the normoganglionic human colon, SOM-LI nerve cell bodies were found to a greater extent in the submucous plexus and to a lesser extent in the myenteric plexus. However, they were rarely observed in both the plexuses of the oligoganglionic segment. SOM-LI nerve fibres were widely distributed in the aganglionic bowel. The circular muscle layer of the distal aganglionic segment was densely innervated by SOM-LI nerve fibres which are probably derived from the extrinsic, hypertrophic nerve bundles. A decreased number of the intramuscular nerves fibres were seen in the proximal aganglionic segment. In the colon and rectum from adult and 21-day-old rats, SOM-LI cell bodies were numerous in both plexuses. On the other hand, enteric neurons were completely lacking from the colon and rectum of congenital aganglionosis rats of 21 days old. No neuronal elements staining for SOM were disclosed in these aganglionic segments of mutant rats. A possible origin and pathophysiological role of the extrinsic nerve fibres containing SOM in the diseased bowel are discussed. It is concluded that SOM-LI nerves in the human distal colon comprise both intrinsic and extrinsic elements, while SOM nerves in the rat colon and rectum are of only intrinsic origin.

    Notes: Summary The localisation and distribution of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivity were studied by use of immunohistochemical methods in gut tissues from 19 patients with Hirschsprung's disease, including 4 cases of long segment aganglionosis. In the normoganglionic segment, immunoreactive cell bodies and nonvaricose processes were seen within both myenteric and submucous plexuses. A scarce supply of varicose fibres was found in the lamina propria mucosae, muscularis mucosae and longitudinal muscle layer. NPY fibres were more frequently encountered in the circular muscle layer, although with a weakly immunostaining intensity. In addition, blood vessels in the submucosal connective tissue were surrounded by a typical plexus of varicose, NPY-positive fibres. Immunoreactive endocrine cells could be detected in the colonic epithelium. In the aganglionic segment, numerous nerve fasciculi comprising a small to moderate number of NPY fibres with varicosities were observed throughout the entire layer of the colonic wall. A few varicose, NPY-positive fibres were also contained in the relatively large, hypertrophic nerve fasciculi located in the intermuscular zone and submucosal connective tissue. NPY-immunoreactive fasciculi were more densely distributed in the distal aganglionic segment than in the proximal aganglionic one. On the other hand, the distribution of NPY-positive fibres in long segment aganglionosis was quite different from that in short segment type; in cases of long segment type, no immunoreactive nerve fibres were detected within the circular muscle layer of the proximal aganglionic segment near the oligoganglionic segment and only a few fibres were observed within the hypertrophic nerve bundle of the intermuscular zone. The present results suggest that NPY-like immunoreactive nerves in the human colon have a dual origin of intrinsic and extrinsic elements. The origin and nature of extrinsic NPY nerve fibres in the human colon are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract— The activity profiles of the solubilized protein kinases from the microsomal and myelin fractions of bovine brain were examined by column chromatography and sucrose density gradient centrifugation. The main peak of adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cyclic AMP)-dependent activity with histone as substrate for each membrane enzyme was eluted with about 0.2 m-NaCl on a DEAE-cellulose column. A peak of activity stimulated with cyclic AMP was also eluted with about 0.1 m-NaCl for the microsomal enzyme. A peak with protamine and casein as substrate for the microsomal or myelin enzyme, respectively, was larger than that with histone as substrate for each enzyme. The first peak with histone as substrate on a DEAE–cellulose column appeared as two peaks on the Sepharose 6B column. The second peak with histone as substrate on DEAE–cellulose column was shown to be a holoenzyme consisting of regulatory and catalytic subunits. The holoenzyme and subunits were eluted at similar positions to each other between both membrane enzymes on Sepharose 6B column. The holoenzyme sedimented as two peaks of activity on sucrose density gradient centrifugation, both of which were stimulated with cyclic AMP. The preincubation of the holoenzyme with cyclic AMP resulted in shifting to a position of a smaller molecular size.The results indicate the occurrence of multiple forms of protein kinases in membrane fractions of brain with respect to substrate specificity and physical property.

    Notes: Abstract Eight children with pancreatic injuries after blunt abdominal trauma are presented. One patient with pancreatitis without complications was treated successfully with medication; seven (87.5%) developed pseudocysts, which resolved spontaneously with conservative treatment in four cases (57.1%). Non-resolving pseudocysts in 3 patients finally required surgical intervention. Pseudocysts that resolve spontaneously and those that require surgical intervention can be distinguished. The two groups showed different time sequences in both serum amylase values and pseudocyst size. Analyses of these clinical data revealed three factors with significant predictive value. On the basis of these findings, a new management strategy for traumatic pancreatic pseudocysts in children is proposed. The cyst is likely to resolve spontaneously in cases showing any two or more of the following factors: (1) cyst presentation after day 6; (2) maximum serum amylase below 1,600 IU/l; and (3) serum amylase below 600 IU/l on day 20. However, early surgical intervention is required in the presence of two or more of the following: (1) cyst presentation before day 4; (2) maximum serum amylase above 1,900 IU/l; or (3) serum amylase above 1,200 IU/l on day 20.
