    Notes: Summary We examined the effect of glucose on aldose reductase mRNA expression and its activity in calf pulmonary artery endothelial cells. After the cells were exposed to 18 mmol/l glucose, aldose reductase mRNA expression began to increase at 6 h, reached a maximum (about 2.4-fold increase) at 12 h, and thereafter gradually decreased. Aldose reductase activity was found to strongly correlate with aldose reductase mRNA expression after cells were exposed to 18 mmol/l glucose. In contrast, aldose reductase mRNA expression was significantly decreased following exposure to 55 mmol/l glucose. Aldose reductase activity was also decreased at 24 h after 55 mmol/l glucose. The increase in aldose reductase mRNA level caused by glucose was inhibited by 1 μg/ml of actinomycin D. These phenomena appear to be glucose-specific since neither 3-O-methylglucose nor fructose affected the levels of aldose reductase mRNA. We clearly demonstrate that aldose reductase mRNA level and its activity are modulated by glucose in calf pulmonary artery endothelial cells. Our data suggest that activation of aldose reductase in endothelial cells may contribute to the development of diabetic macroangiopathy.

    Notes: A 64-year-old man suffered from hypertensive syncope and was admitted to Branch Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, The University of Tokyo. On admission he had no symptoms; however, two renal cysts of about 5 cm in diameter were found in his left kidney. Cystofiberscopy with a thin optical fiberscope was performed in addition to puncture and cystography. Cytology revealed class I, but the wall surface of the lower cyst was uneven, fluid-filled, colloid-like and white-gray compared with that seen in the upper cyst. It was diagnosed as renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and left nephrectomy was performed (5 cm in diameter, RCC, papillary tubular, common, clear cell subtype, G2 〉 G1, INF beta, pT2, pMx, pV0, ew(–)).

    Notes: Aim: Various treatments for hypertrophic and keloid scars have been attempted including electron beam irradiation, local triamcinolone injection, oral tranilast administration, use of silicone sheets, and compression therapy using splints. Among them, we have been attempting silicone cushion patching on hypertrophic scar. Methods: Twenty cases (10 males, 10 females) with hypertrophic scar were treated with silicone cushion. Scar surfaces were kept in contact with silicone cushion for as long periods of time as possible every day. Results were assessed in scores using objective findings (redness, bulging, induration) and subjective symptoms (itching, spontaneous pain, tenderness). Results: As for objective findings, redness remained unchanged in one case, but bulging and induration were found improved in all cases. As for subjective symptoms, itching and tenderness were found improved in all cases and clinical course considered proving usefulness of the treatment was obtained. Conclusions: Silicone cushions have highly viscous silicone oil enclosed in the silicone pack designed to generate negative charge electrostatic fields. Generation of adequate and sustaining electrostatic fields is important for useful clinical effect to exhibit on hypertrophic scar recession. Generation of negative charge electrostatic fields was confirmed on potential determination data with an electrostatic field meter as well.

    Notes: Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of wound dressing material, Calcium-Zinc Alginate: Curasorb Zn® as a carrier of the recombinant human bFGF, histological detection was performed. Methods: Full thickness skin defect on the back of Wistar rat was made for four groups; the control group, bFGF group; topical application of recombinant human bFGF for 5 μg per day, Ca-Zn Alginate group; topical use of the dressing and the group that both the bFGF and Ca-Zn Alginate were applied, nine rats for respective group. Results: Significant granulation was noted both bFGF group and Ca-Zn Alginate group compared to the control group. Fibrosis was noted in the control and Ca-Zn Alginate group whereas no fibrosis was noted in the FGF group. Numerous amounts of cells were noted in the FGF group which indicate strong inflammation. Also, marked abscess formation was noted in the bFGF group. The greatest thickness of granulation was obtained in the group that both the bFGF and Ca-Zn Alginate were applied. Conclusions: It was considered that the appropriate use of the carrier for the bFGF is important to control infection. The Ca-Zn Alginate dressing was effective to suppress abscess formation.

    Notes: Aim:  Ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury continues to be a problem for successful free tissue transfer and replantation after prolonged periods of ischemia. It has been shown that leukocytes and vascular endothelial cells release a variety of inflammatory mediators during reperfusion after ischemia. The leukocyte endothelial adhesion molecule-1 (LECAM-1) is a ligand on the endothelium for some of the adhesion receptors on leukocytes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the blockage of leukocyte-endothelial adhesion by a monoclonal antibody (MAb) to LECAM-1 in skin flaps to prevent I-R injury in rats.Methods:  Male SD rats (225–250 g) were used. A skin flap (45 × 30 mm) supplied by the superficial epigastric A&V including the femoral vessels was isolated unilaterally. The femoral vessels were cross-clamped the epigastric vessels for 9 hours of ischemia. Animals in treated group received MAb to LECAM −1 i.v. 15 minutes prior to reperfusion; those in the control group received normal saline. Skin flap viability was assessed by tracing the outline of viable and nonviable areas. Data were collected for the following 7 days. These data were corroborated with histological evidence on comparable areas of the flap.Results:  Tracing analysis revealed average flap survival area of about 90% in treated group and about 20% in control group (p 〈 0.05). Histopathologically, few inflammatory changes could be observed in treated group, while marked damage was observed in control group.Conclusions:  From this study, we concluded that treating skin flaps with Mab to LECAM -1 was effective for I-R injury after 9 hours of warm ischemia.

    Notes: Summary A decade has now passed since “renal oncocytoma” became a diagnosis of acute interest to urologists, radiologists and pathologists. The number of patients with renal oncocytoma continues to increase; now a total of over 340 reported cases are available for analysis. Approximately 3% of tumors previously diagnosed as renal cell carcinomas are now considered to be renal oncocytomas. The overwhelmingly benign clinical behavior of typical renal oncocytomas seems well established. At present, there is no definitive way to make the diagnosis of renal oncocytoma preoperatively. Because renal oncocytomas are not so rare, clinicians dealing with solid renal tumors must keep in mind this diagnosis and its possible bilateral and multifocal occurrence. Conservative renal parenchyma sparing operations for oncocytomas should be encouraged.
