    Notes: Summary It has been suggested that bradykinin stimulates glucose uptake in experiments in vivo and in cultured cells. However, its mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, the effects of bradykinin on the insulin signalling pathway were evaluated in isolated dog adipocytes. The bradykinin receptor binding study revealed that dog adipocytes possessed significant numbers of bradykinin receptors (Kd=83 pmol/l, binding sites = 1.7×104 site/cell). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction amplification showed the mRNA specific for bradykinin B2 receptor in the adipocytes. Bradykinin alone did not increase 2-deoxyglucose uptake in adipocytes; however, in the presence of insulin (10−7 mol/l) it significantly increased 2-deoxyglucose uptake in a dose-dependent manner. Bradykinin also enhanced insulin stimulated GLUT4 translocation from the intracellular fraction to the cell membrane, and insulin induced phosphorylation of the insulin receptor Β subunit and insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1) without affecting the binding affinities or numbers of cell surface insulin receptors in dog adipocytes. The time-course of insulin stimulated phosphorylation of the insulin receptor Β subunit revealed that phosphorylation reached significantly higher levels at 10 min, and stayed at the higher levels until 120 min in the presence of bradykinin, suggesting that bradykinin delayed the dephosphorylation of the insulin receptor. It is concluded that bradykinin could potentiate insulin induced glucose uptake through GLUT4 translocation. This effect could be explained by the potency of bradykinin to upregulate the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity which stimulates phosphorylation of IRS-1, followed by GLUT4 translocation.

    Notes: Summary We investigated the mechanisms of insulin secretion by transfecting into a pituitary adenoma cell line (AtT20) a combination of genes encoding human insulin (HI), glucose transporter type 2 (GLUT2) and glucokinase (GK), followed by studying the characteristics of these cells. In static incubation, a cell line transfected with insulin gene alone (AtT20HI) secreted mature human insulin but this was not in a glucose-dependent manner. Other cell lines transfected with insulin and GLUT2 genes (AtT20HI-GLUT2–3) or with insulin and GK genes (AtT20HI-GK-1) secreted insulin in response to glucose concentrations of only less than 1 mmol/l. In contrast, cell lines transfected with insulin, GLUT2 and GK genes (AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-6, AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-7 and AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-10) showed a glucose-dependent insulin secretion up to 25 mmol/l glucose. Glucose utilization and oxidation were increased in AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK cell lines but not in AtT20HI, AtT20HI-GLUT2–3 and AtT20HI-GK-1 cells at physiological glucose concentrations, compared with AtT20 cells. Diazoxide, nifedipine and 2-deoxy glucose suppressed (p 〈 0.05) glucose stimulated insulin secretion in AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-6 cells. Glibenclamide, KCl or corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) stimulated (p 〈 0.05) insulin secretion both in AtT20HI and AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-6 cells. Insulin secretion stimulated by glibenclamide, KCl or CRF was further enhanced by the addition of 25 mmol/l glucose in AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK-6 cells but not in AtT20HI cells. In perifusion experiments, a stepwise increase in glucose concentration from 5 to 25 mmol/l stimulated insulin secretion in AtT20HI-GLUT2-GK cell lines but the response lacked a clear first phase of insulin secretion. Our results suggest that both GLUT2 and glucokinase are necessary for the glucose stimulated insulin secretion in at least rodent cell lines, and that other element(s) are necessary for a biphasic insulin secretion typically observed in beta cells.

    Notes: Abstract. We report a case of a chronic expanding hematoma caused by an angiomyolipoma of the spleen in a patient diagnosed with tuberous sclerosis in infancy. Computed tomography showed large bilateral renal angiomyolipomas. A splenic mass that increased in size during the follow-up period of 62 months was also noted. A large subcapsular hematoma of the spleen finally developed, and a splenectomy was performed. The splenic mass consisted of a chronic hematoma with prominent granulation tissue, which was considered to be caused by repeated bleeding from a small angiomyolipoma in the spleen.

    Notes: Abstract. Background: To compare the value of helical computed tomography (CT) and various pulse sequences of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the detection and staging of small pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Methods: Small pancreatic adenocarcinomas (≤2 cm in diameter) in eight patients were evaluated with both helical CT and MR imaging. Five MR imaging pulse sequences that included fat-suppressed T1-weighted images and dynamic study using fast multiplanar spoiled gradient-recalled technique were compared for the tumor detectability. To evaluate the tumor vascularity, angiographic findings were also investigated. Results: Helical CT delineated the tumor in five cases, and MR imaging depicted the tumor in seven cases. MR imaging could detect the tumor of 0.8 cm in diameter clearly. Although helical CT and dynamic MR imaging missed the tumor of 2 cm with relative hypervascularity, fat-suppressed T1-weighted MR imaging demonstrated it precisely. As for the tumor staging, MR imaging was equal or slightly superior to helical CT. Conclusion: MR imaging is the first modality of choice to evaluate small pancreatic adenocarcinoma, and fat-suppressed T1-weighted images and dynamic study must be performed.

    Notes: Abstract. Background: Because of its poor prognosis, the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma with sarcomatous change (HCCSC) is clinically important. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the characteristic CT findings of HCCSC. Methods: Two-phased dynamic incremental CT images of six histologically proven HCCSC were retrospectively reviewed. Results: All tumors (100%) exhibited peripheral enhancement on delayed CT images. Lymphadenopathy was observed in 100% (six of six patients); intrahepatic metastases, in 83% (five of six). Both metastatic lesions showed findings similar to those of the primary hepatic tumors, such as peripheral enhancement. Histopathologically, delayed and/or prolonged peripherally enhanced areas consisted of viable cancer cells with sarcomatous changes. Conclusions: The appearance of HCCSC on CT is that of an irregularly demarcated intrahepatic mass with delayed or prolonged peripheral enhancement, frequently with intrahepatic metastases and lymphadenopathy.

    Notes: Abstract. Background: Although helical computed tomography (HCT) has been widely employed for the evaluation of pancreatic tumors, its capability in the diagnosis of peripancreatic arterial invasion has not been established. Methods: HCT with a sequential cine-display was carried out in 34 patients with solid pancreatic tumors and 28 control subjects without angiographic abnormality. The HCT scans were compared with angiograms. Results: All major arteries (celiac, superior mesenteric, splenic, gastroduodenal) and superoanterior pancreaticoduodenal arteries were well demonstrated by HCT in control subjects. However, posterior pancreaticoduodenal arcades and other smaller arteries were poorly identified. Although 19 major arterial invasions were equally diagnosed by HCT and angiography in patients with pancreatic tumors, only 4 of 11 minor arterial invasions were correctly diagnosed by HCT. Conclusions: Although HCT has some limitations in the evaluation of minor peripancreatic arteries, it can provide enough information for making a decision about conducting pancreatic surgery.

    Notes: Abstract. Background: To elucidate the metallic factors contributing to the signal intensities of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) on T1-weighted magnetic resonance (MR) images and to determine whether or not changes in signal intensity contribute to the diagnosis of histological grading of HCC. Methods: In 35 patients immediately after surgery, the quantities of water, lipid, copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn) were determined in HCCs and the surrounding hepatic parenchyma. The correlations among these findings, the histopathological findings, and the signal intensities of T1-weighted MR images were evaluated. Results: Among the 35 HCCs, 12 (34%) were of high intensity, 14 (40%) were isointense, and 9 (26%) were of low intensity on T1-weighted images versus the surrounding hepatic parenchyma. The paramagnetic ions, which contributed to the signal intensity patterns, were assumed to be Cu in HCCs (30.5 ± 52.9 μg/g ww), and Fe in the livers (106.2 ± 86.8 μg/g ww) and HCCs (87.7 ± 49.1 μg/g ww). In 12 HCCs with high intensity, one was grade I, eight were grade II, and three were grade III according to Edmondson-Steiner's histopathological classification. Conclusions: Signal intensity and signal intensity patterns alone cannot be signs of low-grade malignancy because of the Fe in livers and in HCCs.
