    Notes: Summary We have investigated the pharmacokinetics of the direct vasodilator flosequinan in elderly patients with congestive heart failure. Eight patients received a single dose of 50 mg, and 8 patients received once-daily treatment with 25 mg for two weeks. In the single dose study, the tmax of flosequinan was 2.5 h, Cmax was 1.17 μg · ml−1 and t1/2 was 5.63 h. The tmax of the metabolite BTS 53554 was 20.3 h, Cmax was 1.44 μg · ml−1 and t1/2 was 62.0 h. BTS 53554 accumulated gradually in the 14-day repeated dose study and steady-state was reached after approximately 2 weeks. Flosequinan was not found to accumulate. Adverse reactions were not observed in either the single or repeated dose study. It is advisable to consider renal function and body weight when flosequinan is to be administered to elderly patients with congestive heart failure. The initial dose should be 25 mg.

    Notes: Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, injected with a water fraction extracted from abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, showed enhanced phagocytosis. This enhanced activity reached its maximum level 5 days after injection. The natural killer cell activities and the chemiluminescence responses of kidney leukocytes in fish treated with this fraction were also significantly increased, compared to those in albumin-treated fish. Rainbow trout injected intraperitoneally with this fraction showed an increased resistance to Vibrio anguillarum.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Zusammenfassung Immunomodulationseffekte bei Regenbogenforellen, Oncorhynchus mykiss, nach Injektion von Aba-lone-Entrakt, Haliotis discus hannaiBei Regenbogenforellen, Oncorynchus mykiss, denen ein wäßriger Extrakt der Abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, injiziert wurde, konnte eine gesteigerte Phagocytoseaktivität beobachtet werden.

    Notes: Abstract Bovine lactoferrin was evaluated for its ability to enhance resistance of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), to infection with Vibrio anguillarum. Oral administration of lactoferrin (100 mg kg−1) to fish daily for 3 days prior to an intraperitoneal challenge with V. anguillarum resulted in increased survival rates, and enhanced resistance against Streptococcus sp., although to a lesser extent. In lactoferrin-treated fish, an increase in phagocytic and chemiluminescent (CL) activities of pronephros cells against V. anguillarum was observed. The phagocytic and CL activities of cells against Streptococcus sp. were also significantly increased. However, no in vitro bactericidal activities of lactoferrin against V. anguillarum or Streptococcus sp. were observed. This suggests that the lactoferrin enhanced the resistance of the rainbow trout against bacterial infection through the activation of phagocytes.

    Notes: To clarify the significance of basic fetoprotein (BFP) in lymphocytes, we investigated whether BFP is produced in lymphocytes during blastic transformation. Peripheral blood lymphocytes obtained from 14 adults were cultured under the stimulation of lectins. The concentration of BFP in the culture medium (extracellular BFP) was estimated serially. The incorporation of [6-3 H] thymidine was assayed simultaneously. The intracellular BFP was measured by dual flow cytometry for DNA and BFP. A lymph node was studies immunohistochemically. Serum BFP was measured in four cases of lumphocytic leukaemia. In two cases, dual staining was performed. The intracellular BFP of the mitogen-stimulated lymphocytes was increased within 24 h. The extracellular BFP was increased exponentially from 72 h. The extracellular BFP at 96 h did not correlate with the [3H]-thymidine incorporation. The intracellular BFP increase began in G1 phase. Immunostaining showed that the B cells also produced BFP. Theserum BFP level in leukaemia was high in 1 of 4 cases and the leukaemic cells in two cases showed high intracellular BFP content. These observations indicate that BFP is produced in activated human lymphocytes and in lymphocytic leukaemic cells. The production of BFP during blastic transformation will be a useful new in vitro model for studying the biological role of BFP, and BFP labelling may offer some new possibilities for study of lymphocytes.

    Notes: Summary To study the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT) genes in the mouse adrenal gland and the brain, we performed in situ hybridization studies by using several types of complementary DNA probes recognizing coding regions of human TH (THc), the 3′-end of the human region of TH (TH3′), and the coding region of the human PNMT (PNMTc). THc mRNA was detected in the chromaffin cells of the mouse adrenal medulla and brain catecholaminergic neurons including the substantia nigra and ventral tegmental area. TH-immunopositive neurons were located in a similar pattern in adjacent sections. However no positive signals were detected by the TH3′ probe. Using the PNMTc probe, the majority of cells in the adrenal medulla demonstrated positive labelling. Although the mouse TH and PNMT genes have not been fully isolated and sequenced, the present study strongly suggests that the sequence of the coding regions of TH and PNMT are similar in human and mouse. The THc and PNMTc probes are particularly useful in investigating the loci of gene transcription in mouse tissues.

    Notes: Summary We have produced transgenic (Tg) mice carrying 5.0-kb fragment from the 5′-flanking region of the human tyrosine hydroxylase (hTH) gene fused to a reporter gene, chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) [Sasaoka et al. (1992) Mol Brain Res 16: 274–286]. In the brain of the Tg mice, CAT expression has been observed in catecholaminergic (CAnergic) neurons and also in non-CAnergic neurons. The aim of the present study is to examine in detail the cell-type specific expression of the hTH-CAT fusion gene in the brain of the Tg mice, by use of immunohistochemistry for CAT, TH, and aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC). CAT-immunoreactive cells were found in CAnergic brain regions which contained TH-positive cells, and also in non-CAnergic brain regions which contained no TH-labeled cells. The non-CAnergic brain regions that represented CAT-stained cells were further divided into two groups: (i) regions containing AADC-labeled cells, for example, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, nucleus suprachiasmaticus, mammillary body, nucleus raphe dorsalis, inferior colliculus, and nucleus parabrachialis, and (ii) regions containing no AADC-positive cells, for example, main olfactory bulb (except A16), accessory olfactory bulb, nucleus olfactorius anterior, caudoputamen, septum, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus, medial nucleus of the amygdala, entorhinal cortex, nucleus supraopticus, and parasubiculum. The results indicate that the 5.0-kb DNA fragment flanking the 5′ end of the hTH gene may contain the element(s) specific for neuron-specific TH expression but which may be insufficient to attenuate ectopic expression.

    Notes: Abstract None of the conventional indentation techniques are applicable to carbon and graphite materials for determining fracture mechanics parameters because of the difficulty in introducing well-defined median/radial cracks. A novel indentation method is proposed in this work for fracture mechanics studies and then applied to a polycrystalline graphite fracture. The most prominent advantage of the indenter designed is that the residual stresses beneath the indentation impression, which prevail in conventional indentation methods (Knoop and Vickers indentations) and lead to crucial difficulties in fracture mechanics analysis, are negligibly small. This makes possible a quantitative study on the microstructural interaction between the indentation-induced micro-flaw and the natural intrinsic flaws of the material. The dependence of flexural strength of a polycrystalline graphite on the indentation-induced surface flaw size is also discussed by examining the microstructural scaling transition of fracture origin from the indentation-induced to the intrinsic flaws with diminishing indentation surface flaw. An important role of the Mrozowsky micro-crack system in the scaling transition is emphasized.
