    Notes: Abstract We report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma with hypercalcemia. There was no evidence of bone metastasis or increase in parathyroid hormone-related protein. The serum level of intact parathyroid hormone (intact PTH) was very high, and the results of the hepatic venous sampling suggested that the tumor produced intact PTH. Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization effectively controlled the humoral hypercalcemia.

    Notes: Abstract The axonal pathway, conduction velocities, and locations of the cell bodies of utricular nerve-activated vestibulospinal neurons were studied in decerebrated or anesthetized cats using the collision test of orthodromic and antidromic spikes. For orthodromic stimulation, bipolar tungsten electrodes were placed on the utricular nerve and the other vestibular nerve branches were transected. Monopolar tungsten electrodes were positioned on both sides of the upper cervical segments (C2–4), caudal end of the cervical enlargement (C7-T1), and from the lower thoracic to the upper lumbar segments (T12-L3) and were used for antidromic stimulation of the spinal cord. Another monopolar electrode was also placed in the oculomotor nucleus to study whether utricular nerve-activated vestibulospinal neurons have ascending branches to the oculomotor nucleus. Of the 173 vestibular neurons orthodromically activated by the stimulation of the utricular nerve, 46 were second-order vestibulospinal neurons and 5 were third-order neurons. The majority of the utricular nerve-activated vestibulospinal neurons were located in the rostral part of the descending vestibular nucleus and the caudal part of the ventral lateral nucleus. Seventy-three percent of the utricular nerve-activated vestibulospinal neurons descended through the ipsilateral lateral vestibulospinal tract. Approximately 80% of these neurons reached the cervicothoracic junction, but a few reached the upper lumbar spinal cord. Twenty-seven percent of the utricular nerve-activated vestibulospinal neurons descended through the medial vestibulospinal tract or the contralateral vestibulospinal tracts. Those axons terminated mainly in the upper cervical segments. Almost none of the utricular nerve-activated vestibular neurons had ascending branches to the oculomotor nucleus.

    Notes: The Km values of 5′-nucleotidase against IMP markedly increased below 6°C in the case of 32°C-acclimated carp muscle microsomes. This caused a break point at 6°C in the Arrhenius plot of 5′-nucleotidase activity against IMP at a low concentration. The discontinuity of temperature dependency was not found when a surfactant had been introduced. Muscle microsomes of carp acclimated at 32°C contained much more cholesterol and saturated fatty acid than those of 10°C-acclimated carp. Therefore, the difference of lipid composition seemed to be closely related to the change in kinetics of microsomal 5′-nucleotidase.

    Notes: Critical current densities Jc were measured in as-deposited, c-axis-oriented Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox thin films with Tc values as high as 97 K, which were prepared by metalorganic chemical-vapor deposition. These films showed high Jc ((approximately-greater-than)109 A/m2) at 77.3 K in high magnetic fields (≥1 T, H(parallel)a-b plane). The best values are 3.3×109 A/m2 at 1 T and 9.1×108 A/m2 at 8 T, which are the highest Jc for Bi-oxide thin films among those reported so far. There were no signs of weak links in the Jc(H) behavior, and the surface morphology examined by scanning electron microscopy showed no apparent grain boundaries. The values of Jc decreased sharply when the applied field deviated from the a-b plane, and went to zero at the angles where the field component in the c direction is nearly equal to the irreversibility field Hc2* parallel to the c axis. The angular dependence of Jc of these films is most reasonably explained by the theory of intrinsic pinning.

    Notes: An anisotropy for threshold current densities for AlGaInP laser diodes with CuPt-type natural superlattice (NSL) in a Ga0.5In0.5P active layer, grown on a (001) GaAs substrate, was observed, for the first time. Threshold current densities (Jth) for laser diodes with stripes in the [1¯10] and [110] direction were 1.35 and 2.10 kA/cm2, respectively. The lasers with a weak NSL formation in the active layer showed a very small anisotropy in Jth. Stripe direction dependence of electroluminescence (EL) polarization properties were also observed for lasers with well-developed NSL. The anisotropies in Jth and EL polarization properties are attributed to the existence of the NSL in the active layer and the appearance asymmetry previously observed in the NSL.

    Notes: Several studies have been reported on the effects of various therapeutic agents in enhancing or suppressing the carcinogenic activity of N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). However, it is still unknown whether a mucosal protective agent could suppress its carcinogenic activity.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods:Twenty-five Wistar male rats were divided into four groups: group 1, MNNG alone; group 2, MNNG + tetraprenylacetone; group 3, control; group 4, tetraprenylacetone alone. MNNG 100 mg/mL was freely given to groups 1 and 2, and tetraprenylacetone (200 mg/kg intraperitoneal) was additionally administered every other day to the rats in groups 2 and 4. The animals were sacrificed at 10 weeks and the gastric mucosa examined.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:Atrophic changes were observed in the antrum after 8 weeks of oral administration of MNNG. Furthermore, using immunohistological analysis with 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU), the proliferative zone was found to be enlarged and shifted upward, although the BrdU labelling index of the proliferative zone was unaltered. Intraperitoneal administration of tetraprenylacetone every other day suppressed the MNNG-induced atrophic change and the alterations proliferative markers. Tetraprenylacetone alone did not have an effect either on morphological or proliferative markers.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusion:These observations suggest that gastric mucosal defensive factors may play critical roles in suppressing atrophic change inducing carcinogenesis by an exogenic carcinogen.

    Notes: The c-erbB-2 proto-oncogene encodes a transmembrane protein which is highly homologous to epidermal growth factor receptor. Overexpression of this c-erbB-2 protein has been reported in many human carcinomas, including breast carcinoma. However, there have been few studies of the expression of c-erbB-2 in cholangiocarcinoma and hepatolithiasis, a condition occasionally associated with cholangiocarcinoma.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods and resultsIn this study, we evaluated immunoreactivity for the c-erbB-2 protein in human cholangiocarcinomas (n = 47), hepatolithiasis (n = 20), fetal livers (n = 36) and normal adult livers (n = 6). In normal adult livers and fetal livers, expression of c-erbB-2 protein could not be detected in hepatocytes or intrahepatic biliary cells. In hepatolithiasis, there was overexpression of c-erbB-2 in 15/20 (75%). The expression was found with a membranous pattern on the proliferated intrahepatic bile ducts and proliferated intrahepatic peribiliary glands around the bile ducts containing stones. Hepatocytes were negative for c-erbB-2 protein. Moreover, the biliary cell expression of the c-erbB-2 protein correlated significantly with Ki67 labelling index. On the other hand, aberrant expression of c-erbB-2 was found in 33/47 (70%) cholangiocarcinomas. The c-erbB-2 expression in cholangiocarcinomas did not correlate with Ki67 labelling index or p53 expression.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉ConclusionsThese results indicate that aberrant expression of c-erbB-2 protein is found in cholangiocarcinoma and also in noncancerous biliary proliferative lesions such as hepatolithiasis. These findings also suggest that c-erbB-2 oncogene participates not only in cholangiocarcinogenesis but also in biliary cell proliferation in non-neoplastic conditions.

    Notes: Abstract  The study was designed to clarify the difference in pharmacokinetics of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) in animal models and humans, and to elucidate the applicability of animal models. 99mTc-labeled murine mAb – against carcinoembryonic antigen (designated BW431/26), and neural cell adhesion molecule (NE150) – and one chimeric mouse/human mAb against nonspecific cross-reacting antigen (chNCA) were administered i.v. to normal mice and athymic mice (370 kBq, 400 ng) xenografted with human cancer cells expressing antigens, and into patients with tumor (925 MBq, 1 mg). The biodistribution of two of the three mAb (not 99mTc-BW431/26) differed clearly in mice and patients. 99mTc-NE150 showed specific uptake in xenografted tumor and otherwise a normal biodistribution; however, clinical examination showed increased uptake in the liver with rapid blood clearance (mean α half-life = 31.1 min) compared with 99mTc-BW431/26 (28.4 h). 99mTc-chNCA demonstrated increased blood clearance and renal excretion in both normal and athymic mice, with accumulation in tumors. Clinical examination showed rapid blood clearance (mean α half-life = 6.4 min) and increased uptake in the liver. High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of 99mTc-chNCA revealed the immune complex in blood, suggesting uptake of the complex by the reticuloendothelial cells. The biodistribution of radiolabeled mAb in animal and human models was variable and specific for each of the three mAb. The results of animal studies with mAb should be evaluated carefully before being extrapolated to humans, on the basis of the nature of the mAb and interacting substances.
