    Notes: Abstract Background: Assessments were made of 63 cases of fundic gland polyposis (FGP) unassociated with adenomatosis coli. These cases were evaluated by radiological examination over 2 years follow-up. All polyps were pathologically confirmed by endoscopic biopsies. Methods: Most cases were asymptomatic when diagnosed during mass radiological surveys of the upper gastrointestinal tract. The majority of patients ranged in age from 40–60 years, and the polyps numbered fewer than 20 in 55 cases (87.3%). Polyps were detected in the fundic glands using the congo red test and by biopsies. Results: All serum gastrin values were within the normal range. During the course of this study, the polyps of 13 cases (20.6%) increased and those of three cases (4.8%) decreased or resolved completely. Conclusion: From these findings it is considered that FGP are observed in stomachs with less atrophy, and that polyps follow courses in which they increase, decrease, disappear, along with atrophy.

    Notes: Abstract The cRNA for Torpedo californica Na+/K+-ATPase β-subunit (cRNAβ) was injected into Xenopus oocytes alone or with the cRNA for the Na+/K+-ATPase α-subunit (cRNAα). When cRNAβ was injected alone, the amount of the β-subunit that accumulated in oocytes increased with increasing amounts of injected cRNAβ. When cRNAβ and cRNAα were injected simultaneously, less β-subunit accumulated than when cRNAβ was injected alone, whereas the Na+/K+-ATPase activity increased markedly. The decrease in the accumulation of the β-subunit was dose-dependent upon the cRNAα. The mutant β-subunit unable to assemble with the α-subunit accumulated in oocytes independently of cRNAα, suggesting that post-translational control mechanisms may serve to reduce the accumulation of the β-subunit.

    Syringobulbia Caused by Delayed Postoperative Tethering of the Cervical Spinal Cord – Delayed Complication of Foramen Magnum Decompression for Chiari Malformation (1999)

    Notes: Summary  Postoperative tethering of the high cervical spinal cord is a rare cause of neurological deterioration after foramen magnum decompression (FMD) with duraplasty for Chiari type I malformation. A review of the literature revealed that only 5 cases have been reported. This entity is not widely known to occur as a complication of the common surgical procedure for Chiari type I malformation. A 17-year-old boy experienced rapidly progressive neurological deterioration over a 3-month period. FMD and duraplasty with lyophilized cadaver dura had been performed 8 years previously. Follow-up MR images showed that the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space dorsal to the cord was gradually disappearing and that syringobulbia had developed. Opening the dura mater of the posterior fossa revealed dense fibrous scarring, arachnoid thickening over the cervicomedullary area, and tethering the cord to the dura from the medulla to C2. The adhesions were dissected free, and the tethering was released. A syringosubarachnoid (SS) shunt was inserted and duraplasty was performed with an expended polytetrafluoroethylene sheet (Gore-Tex). Postoperative MR images demonstrated that the syringobulbia had completely collapsed and that a dorsal CSF space was present. Follow-up MR images provided significant information on the cervical spinal cord tethering after FMD with duraplasty for Chiari malformation. We encourage sharp surgical detethering and duraplasty with Gore-Tex to avoid retethering. Early recognition and treatment of this unusual but important complication are emphasized.

    The Simian Virus 40 Large T Antigen Does Not Inhibit Translation of the 14-kDa Myelin Basic Protein mRNA in Reticulocyte Lysates or in Transfected Cells (1995)

    Notes: Abstract: Viral T antigens are transcription factors that have been suspected of inhibiting expression of the myelin basic protein (MBP) mRNA at the translational level in vitro and in vivo. The effect of simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen (T-ag) was examined on the translation of the 14-kDa MBP mRNA in reticulocyte lysates and on MBP expression after transfection into cells that express SV40 T-ag. SV40 T-ag did not inhibit translation of 14-kDa MBP cRNAs in cell-free translations even at 30 µM (∼600 µg/ml) T-ag. Permanent transfection of COS-1 cells (which endogenously express SV40 T-ag) with the 14-kDa MBP cDNA resulted in the expression of the 14-kDa MBP as determined by western blot analysis. Permanent transfection of N20.1 cells, an oligodendrocyte line immortalized with a temperature-sensitive SV40 T-ag, with the 14-kDa MBP cDNA construct also resulted in the expression of the 14-kDa MBP under conditions in which the cells expressed functional SV40 T-ag. These results indicate that SV40 T-ag does not prevent expression of the MBP gene at the translational level and that in those immortalized oligodendrocyte lines that express MBP mRNA, but not MBP protein, some factor other than the SV40 large T-ag is responsible for the posttranscriptional regulation.

    Impedance magnetic resonance imaging: A method for imaging of impedance distributions based on magnetic resonance imaging : The 7th joint MMM-intermag conference on magnetism and magnetic materials (1998)

    Notes: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques have become important tools in medicine and biology. Conventional MRI, however, produces no information about the electrical properties of the body. This article proposes a new and noninvasive method for imaging electrical properties such as conductivity and impedance based on MRI techniques. The basic idea is to use the shielding effects of induced eddy currents in the body on spin precession. Two types of methods are introduced; (i) a large flip angle method, and (ii) a third coil method. The large flip angle method enhances the shielding effects of conducting tissues at the given Larmor frequency. The third coil method detects the shielding effects of conducting tissues at an arbitrary frequency. Both phantom and animal experiments have been carried out to verify this concept using a MRI system of 7.05 T with a bore size of 183 mm in diameter. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Fibrin polymers, as a kind of diamagnetic material, are oriented parallel to the direction of magnetic fields. We investigated the polymerization of partially digested fibrinogens in an 8 T magnetic field in order to observe the clotting ability of various sizes of fibrinogen fractions using a magnetic orientation technique. We purified high-molecular weight fraction (F1) and low-molecular weight fraction from human fibrinogen (F2). Fibrin gels were formed in an 8 T magnetic field for 9 h, and transmittancies were measured to evaluate the degree of magnetic orientation. The results show that a lack at the C-terminal half of one Aα chain did not affect the magnetic orientation of fibrin. We also investigated the effect of the digestion of fibrinogen by plasmin on the magnetic orientation of fibrin. The result shows that partially digested fibrin molecules also orient in an 8 T magnetic field. However, the degree of magnetic orientation significantly decreases when fragment X and fragment Y appear. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The question of whether or not magnetic fields affect enzymatic activity is of considerable interest in biomagnetics and biochemistry. This study focuses on whether magnetically related enzymatic activities can be affected by magnetic fields. We examined the effect of magnetic fields of up to 8 T on catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). We observed changes in absorbance of reaction mixture of hydrogen peroxide and catalase at 240 nm, during and after magnetic field exposures. When the reaction mixture was not treated with nitrogen-gas bubbling, it was observed that the initial reaction rate of the reaction which was exposed to magnetic fields of up to 8 T was 50%–85% lower than the control data. This magnetic field effect was not observed, however, when the reaction mixture was bubbled with nitrogen gas to remove the dissolved oxygen molecules which were produced in the solution. We also measured concentration of dissolved oxygen which was produced by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. Dissolved oxygen concentration in the reaction mixture which was exposed to magnetic fields increased 20%–25% compared to the control solution. The results of the present study indicate that magnetic fields affect dynamic movement of oxygen bubbles which are produced in the reaction mixture by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, but not the catalytic activity of catalase itself. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In the present study, the effect of magnetic fields on the emission of light by a living system was studied. The fireflies Hotaria parvula and Luciola cruciata were used as the bioluminescence systems. The firefly light organ was fixed at the edge of an optical fiber. The emitted light was introduced into a single-channel photon-counting system using an optical fiber. We measured both the spectrum of a constant light emission and, the time course of bioluminescence pulses. Two horizontal-type superconducting magnets, which produced 8 and 14 T magnetic fields at their center, were used as the magnetic-field generators. We also carried out an in vitro study of bioluminescence. The enzymatic activity of luciferase was measured under a 14 T magnetic field. We measured emission spectra of bioluminescence over the interval 500–600 nm at 25 °C in a stable emission state. It was observed that the peak wavelength around 550 nm shifted to 560 nm under a 14 T magnetic field. However, the effects of magnetic fields were not significant. Also, we measured the time course of emissions at 550 nm in a transient emission state. The rate in the light intensity under a 14 T magnetic field increased compared to the control. There is a possibility that the change in the emission intensities under a magnetic field is related to a change in the biochemical systems of the firefly, such as the enzymatic process of luciferase and the excited singlet state with subsequent light emission. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this study, we investigated the effects of strong magnetic fields of up to 14 T on the near-infrared spectrum of water molecules. We used a near-infrared spectrophotometer, which has an external optical cell box in a 14 T superconducting magnet. We measured the near-infrared spectrum of water in the range of 900–2000 nm by changing the optical path lengths from 0.1 to 100 mm. The peak wavelengths in the near-infrared spectrum in the range of 900–2000 nm of water, increased in length by 1–3 nm under a 14 T magnetic field. Also, we measured a near-infrared spectrum of glucose solutions under a magnetic field at 14 T to investigate the hydration of sugar. In contrast to the case of water, the peak wavelength of glucose solutions showed blueshift under a 14 T magnetic field. When the magnetic fields were changed from 0 to 14 T, the differential optical absorbance of the glucose solution at 958 nm increased compared to the controls. There is a possibility that the 14 T magnetic field affects the formation of hydrogen bonds of water molecules and the hydration of glucose molecules. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We investigated whether or not a mutually compensating state of coagulation and fibrinolysis is changed by homogeneous magnetic fields. We used a superconducting magnet which produced magnetic fields of up to 14 T at its center. Fibrin polymerization over time, and the subsequent dissolution of the fibrin fiber network, were observed by measuring the optical absorbance of the mixture at 350 nm. A spectrophotometer with an external optical cell box in a superconducting magnet was used. We observed that the optical absorbance of the mixture at 350 nm increased during the fibrin-polymerization process, and decreased during the fibrinolytic processes. The optical absorbance was stable in the transient state between fibrin-polymerization and fibrinolytic processes. A magnetic field of 14 T increased the rate of the polymerization process by 55%–70% compared to the control group. On the other hand, the rate of the fibrinolytic process under a magnetic field at 14 T, increased by 27%–140% compared to the control. The results indicate that the magnetic orientation of fibrin fibers accelerated both the polymerization and the dissolution of fibrin fibers. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
