    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: The effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-induced gastric mucosal injury is controversial.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aim:To examine the effect of the interaction between H. pylori and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on gastric mucosal injury.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods:Mongolian gerbils infected with H. pylori were treated with indometacin at 8 mg/kg for 2 days or 7 days. Mucosal damage was assessed by macroscopic and histological examination, and myeloperoxidase activity was measured as an index of neutrophil infiltration. The expression levels of cyclo-oxygenase proteins were determined by Western blot analysis and cyclo-oxygenase activity.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:A 2-day course of indometacin did not cause an increase in gastric damage in H. pylori-infected Mongolian gerbils compared to uninfected gerbils, while a 7-day course of indometacin caused additive gastric damage in H. pylori-infected animals. H. pylori infection induced cyclo-oxygenase-2 expression in the stomach. Treatment with indometacin for 2 days did not significantly affect cyclo-oxygenase activity in H. pylori-infected animals, while treatment for 7 days inhibited both cyclo-oxygenase-1 and cyclo-oxygenase-2 activities. Pre-treatment with a selective cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitor aggravated mucosal injury in H. pylori-infected animals treated or not treated with indometacin for 2 days.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusions:Our results suggest that cyclo-oxygenase-2 protein induced by H. pylori infection may be involved in the defence of the gastric mucosa against damage caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Therefore, inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase-2 activity may enhance non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-caused gastric damage in H. pylori-infected animals.

    Notes: Helicobacter pylori eradication markedly improves histological inflammation and decreases peptic ulcer recurrence, but little is known about the subsequent development of gastric mucosal injury.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aim:To investigate whether acid suppression treatment after eradication influences the development of gastric erosions.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods:Eighty-one patients (gastritis or peptic ulcer) after successful H. pylori eradication were divided into two groups: 40 received an H2-blocker for 6 months (H2-blocker-positive) and 41 received no treatment (H2-blocker-negative). Endoscopy was performed before, and at 3 and 6 months after completion of eradication.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:Cumulative prevalence of gastric erosions in the H2-blocker-positive group was significantly lower than in the H2-blocker-negative group, 25% vs. 42%, respectively. In the H2-blocker-negative group but not the H2-blocker-positive group, the cumulative prevalence of gastric erosions after eradication was higher in patients with less severe corpus atrophy or more severe corpus gastritis.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusions:Development of gastric erosions after H. pylori eradication may be controlled by acid suppression treatment. Less severe atrophy or more severe gastritis in oxyntic glands before eradication may be involved in the development of gastric erosions. These results support the idea that recovery of acid secretion may be one of factors for development of gastric mucosal erosions after successful eradication.

    Notes: Background: Increasing evidence suggests that mesothelial cells contribute to the control of inflammation in the peritoneal cavity by secreting prostaglandins. A study has shown that cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 knockout mice die partly as a result of peritonitis. Aim: To investigate the expression and location of COX in peritonitis associated with peptic ulcer perforation. Methods: Gastric and duodenal tissues were collected intraoperatively from nine and four patients, respectively, and immunohistochemical staining for COX-1 and COX-2 was performed. Results: Histologically, all patients had severe peritonitis around the perforation sites, into which many inflammatory cells and fibroblasts had infiltrated, and reactive mesothelial cells exhibited hyperplastic change. The COX-1 protein was not detected, whereas COX-2 was abundant in reactive mesothelial cells near the perforation site and disappeared away from the site. Macrophages and fibroblasts around the perforation site also revealed immunostaining for COX-2. Conclusions: Our results showed that COX-2 protein is induced in mesothelial cells, as well as in macrophages and fibroblasts, in inflamed peritoneal tissues associated with peptic ulcer perforation, suggesting involvement of COX-2 in tissue repair.

    A case of primary cutaneous CD30+ T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder with features of granulomatous slack skin disease (2002)

    Notes: Summary We present a patient with primary CD30+ cutaneous T-cell lymphoma whose histological and clinical features overlapped with those of granulomatous slack skin disease (GSSD). A 26-year-old woman had infiltrative erythema on the abdominal wall and an incurable ulcerative lesion on the left knee. Her skin progressively became atrophic and pendulous, showing a hyperpigmented appearance over almost the whole body. Histopathologically, a dense lymphoid cell infiltrate accompanying numerous macrophages and multinucleated giant cells (MGC) extended into the subcutaneous tissue. Most lymphoid cells were small and positive for T-cell markers. Some relatively large atypical cells were scattered in the lesion, most of which (60%) were positive for CD30. T-cell receptor-β gene rearrangement was confirmed in the abdominal lesion. MGC infiltrated more dominantly into a deeeper layer of the skin with the elastic fibres there almost completely disappearing. Immunoreactivity for CD30 of MGC was negative and overexpression of elastolytic metalloproteinases was observed. The association between primary cutaneous CD30+ lym- phoproliferative disorders and GSSD has not previously been reported. Overexpression of elastolytic metalloproteinases in MGC contributes to the disappearance of the elastic fibres and enhances the severity of the clinical course.

    Notes: A development of synthetic process via rare earth complex precursors was applied to a formation of rare earth manganites which can not be easily formed by conventional (normal) process. Several compounds of rare earth manganites with various structures were successfully synthesized by this method and their crystal structures were identified by powder X-ray diffractometry. Both of the orthorhombic and rhombohedral LaMnO〈sub〉3〈/sub〉 phases were prepared. LnMn〈sub〉2〈/sub〉 O〈sub〉5〈/sub〉 phase was more easily prepared by this method than by another method. The solid solution of (Sr,La)〈sub〉2〈/sub〉MnO〈sub〉4〈/sub〉 phase for various compositions were tried to prepare a single phase, especially for a composition region Sr/La ratio 〈 1. since this phase is normally formed for only region of Sr/La ratio .. 1 by the solid state reaction method

    Notes: Abstract. We consider the following partition problem: Given a set S of n elements that is organized as k sorted subsets of size n/k each and given a parameter h with 1/k ≤ h ≤ n/k , partition S into g = O(n/(hk)) subsets D 1 , D 2 , . . . , D g of size Θ(hk) each, such that, for any two indices i and j with 1 ≤ i 〈 j ≤ g , no element in D i is bigger than any element in D j . Note that with various combinations of the values of parameters h and k , several fundamental problems, such as merging, sorting, and finding an approximate median, can be formulated as or be reduced to this partition problem. The partition problem also finds many applications in solving problems of parallel computing and computational geometry. In this paper we present efficient parallel algorithms for solving the partition problem and a number of its applications. Our parallel partition algorithm runs in O( log n) time using $$ O\left(\frac{\min\{(n/h)*\max\{\log h,1\}, n*\max\{\log(1/h),1\}\}}{\log n}\right) $$ processors in the EREW PRAM model. The complexity bounds of our parallel partition algorithm on the respective special cases match those of the optimal EREW PRAM algorithms for merging, sorting, and finding an approximate median. Using our parallel partition algorithm, we are also able to obtain better complexity bounds (even possibly on a weaker parallel model) than the previously best known parallel algorithms for several important problems, including parallel multiselection, parallel multiranking, and parallel sorting of k sorted subsets.

    Notes: Abstract  For three spider crabs (Tiarinia cornigera, Micippaplatipes and Pugettia quadridens quadridens), patterns of algal utilization for decorating were compared with the dynamics of algae on an intertidal rocky shore reef where the crabs co-occurred. T. cornigera and P. quadridens quadridens were most abundant from autumn to spring when the dominant algae (Boodleacoacta, Sargassum hemiphyllum, S. thunbergii and Corallina pilulifera) occurred in high coverage, while M. platipes was most abundant from spring to autumn. Monthly change of algae used for decorating was not correlated with algae growing in the crab habitat for T. cornigera, but for M. platipes, it was positively correlated for two algal species, and for P. quadridens quadridens, negatively correlated for one algal species. Each species of the spider crabs used some algal species preferentially for decoration. Decorating preference experiments conducted in the laboratory showed that M. platipes and P. quadridens quadridens exhibited similar preference to their algal utilization in the field, whereas for T. cornigera, algal preference in the experiment differed from utilization in the field. Comparisons between materials used for decoration and gut contents revealed that T. cornigera and M. platipes used algal species differently for decorating and feeding, while P. quadridens quadridens used the same algal species for both decorating and feeding. Different tactics for camouflage are discussed in terms of algal utilizations by the three majid species.

    Notes: Summary.  A previous study using a mutant lacking the UL17 gene has suggested that the UL17 protein of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is required for the cleavage/packaging of viral DNA. In this study, we have raised a rabbit polyclonal antiserum which specifically reacted with the UL17 protein which has an apparent molecular mass of 78-kDa in the lysates of HSV types 1- and 2-infected Vero cells. Western blot analysis of intracellular capsids demonstrates that the UL17 protein was associated with B and C capsids. Indirect immunofluorescence studies reveal that it colocalized with the major capsid protein VP5 and the scaffoling protein ICP35 within the nucleus. These results suggest that the association of the UL17 protein with immature B-type capsids is important for its role in cleavage/packaging.

    Notes: Abstract Scopimera globosa, a small ocypodid crab, rhythmically raises and lowers its body and both chelae in a waving display when it is not interacting directly with another individual. To determine whether waving is a social signal and to deduce its possible function, we manipulated the sex and density of crabs in a field enclosure and recorded the waving frequency of males. Males with abundant female neighbors waved significantly more often than when the same males were caged with abundant male neighbors. Males caged with fewer neighbors of either sex seldom waved. Thus, males waved most in the presence of females, especially at high density, and least in the presence of other males, suggesting that waving may function in female acquisition.
