    Notes: Summary The activity of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) in the cerebellar lobules of the rat was determined after bilateral destruction of either the superior, middle, or inferior cerebellar peduncles. A significant, 40–60% decrease in ChAT activity occurred in all subdivisions of the cerebellum (anterior lobe, posterior lobe hemisphere, posterior lobe vermis/nodulus and flocculus/paraflocculus) following bilateral inferior peduncle lesions. In contrast, bilateral lesions of the superior or middle peduncles did not result in significant reductions of enzyme activity. These findings indicate that the cholinergic afferents to the cerebellum are contained predominantly in the inferior peduncle, from which they emerge to innervate all of the gross subdivisions of the cerebellum.

    Notes: SUMMARY  Contracture of jaw-closing muscles is one of the causes of limitations of jaw opening. In contracture patients who have no history of trauma or infection, it is not easy to distinguish contracture from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) closed lock (TCL). The purpose of this study was to clarify whether there is any difference between electromyographic (EMG) activities of jaw muscles during jaw opening in patients with TCL and patients with masseter muscle contracture (MMC). The MMC-patient group consisted of one male and 11 females with no history of trauma or infection. The TCL-patient group consisted of one male and 11 females. Ten of the MMC patients showed certain types of EMG activities in masseter muscles (and eight in temporal muscles) during jaw opening. However, particular EMG activities were not observed in most of the TCL patients. The integral values in masseter muscles and in temporal muscles at the maximum opening position were significantly higher in the MMC-patient group than those in the TCL-patient group. These findings demonstrate that the EMG pattern of MMC patients without a history of trauma or infection is different from that of TCL patients. Therefore, EMG analysis of jaw-closing muscles during jaw opening is expected to be useful for differential diagnosis between MMC and TCL.

    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: Rabeprazole sodium is a proton pump inhibitor.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aim:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of 1-week triple therapy with rabeprazole, amoxycillin and clarithromycin for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Methods:A total of 100 subjects with H. pylori were randomly divided into two groups of 1-week triple therapy with rabeprazole 10 mg b.d., amoxycillin 750 mg b.d. and either clarithromycin 200 mg b.d. (RAC400, n=50) or clarithromycin 400 mg b.d. (RAC800, n=50). Endoscopic examination with four biopsies (two specimens from the antrum and two from the gastric body) was performed. The status of H. pylori infection was determined using culture and histology (Giemsa stain) of the biopsy specimens. Sensitivity to clarithromycin was determined using the E-test: MIC 〉 8 g/mL was considered to be resistant, whereas MIC 〈 2 g/mL was considered to be sensitive. Cure was defined as no evidence of H. pylori infection 1 month after completion of treatment.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:There were no significant differences in the clinical characteristics of the two groups. Eradication rates (intention-to-treat and per protocol, respectively) were: RAC400: 86% (95% CI: 76–95%) and 89% (95% CI: 80–97%); RAC800: 94% (95% CI: 87–100%) and 97% (95% CI: 94–100%). There was no significant difference between the eradication rates of either regimen. Three subjects with failed eradication in the RAC400 group were all infected with a clarithromycin-resistant strain before beginning the therapy. Haemorrhagic colitis was the only severe adverse event, which was observed in one patient in the RAC800 group.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusion:One-week triple therapy with rabeprazole, amoxycillin and low-dose clarithromycin is effective for the eradication of H. pylori infection.

    Notes: Helicobacter pylori infection is a major cause of the progress of gastric glandular atrophy, a high-risk background factor in the development of gastric cancer. Regression of gastric atrophy is critical to prevention of cancer by H. pylori eradication treatment. However, it is controversial whether gastric atrophy regresses after H. pylori eradication.〈section xml:id="abs1-2"〉〈title type="main"〉Aim:To determine the most sensitive and appropriate biopsy site for evaluation of regression of atrophy after treatment.〈section xml:id="abs1-3"〉〈title type="main"〉Subjects and methods:Thirty-eight patients who showed regression of gastric atrophy in histology after treatment were investigated. Four biopsy specimens from the lesser and greater curvatures in the antrum and corpus were evaluated before and after treatment according to the Updated Sydney System.〈section xml:id="abs1-4"〉〈title type="main"〉Results:Regression of atrophy after treatment was seen in 30 of 38 biopsy specimens from the lesser curvature of the corpus (79%), and this site was most sensitive. Odds ratio of this site to the others was 8.28. Regression of atrophy in this site was observed at 12.2 months in the younger patients and 15.9 months in the elder patients.〈section xml:id="abs1-5"〉〈title type="main"〉Conclusion:Biopsy sampling from the lesser curvature of the corpus is the most sensitive and appropriate for evaluation of regression of gastric atrophy after H. pylori eradication treatment.

    Notes: 1.The mechanisms underlying the cardiovascular action of YC-93, a new dihydropyridine vasodilator with cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitory activity, was investigated by comparing its effects wth those of papaverine in various isolated, blood-perfused heart preparations of the dog.2. In all preparations YC-93 injected into the nutrient arteries produced a dose-dependent increase in blood flow, and in this respect YC-93 was about twenty times more potent than papaverine on a weight basis.3. In sinoatrial node preparations YC-93 injected into the sinus node artery decreased sinus rate in a dose-dependent manner, and in large doses produced atrial standstill.4. In atrioventricular (a.v.) node preparations YC-93 injected into the a.v. node artery increased a.v. conduction time in a dose-dependent manner, and in large doses produced a second or third degree block of a.v. conduction. However YC-93 injected into the anterior septal artery scarcely affected a.v. conduction.5. In spontaneously contracting papillary muscle preparations YC-93 injected into the anterior septal artery failed to affect ventricular automaticity in doses which markedly decreased developed tension of papillary muscles.6. In papillary muscle preparations driven at a fixed rate YC-93 injected into the anterior septal artery produced a dose-dependent decrease in developed tension of papillary muscles.7. Unlike YC-93, papaverine decreased a.v. conduction time in a.v. node preparations and increased developed tension of papillary muscle preparations.8. The cardiac effects of YC-93 elucidated in the present experiments are characteristic of calcium-antagonistic vasodilators. The action of YC-93 as an inhibitor of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase does not appear to play a role in its cardiac action.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary A pipolar stimulating electrode was chronically implanted at the mesodiencephalon in the rabbit to induce so-called central nystagmus. The nystagmus was remarkably facilitated in either darkness by blindfolding an eye ipsilateral to the stimulation site, but the nystagmus was almost never facilitated by blindfolding an eye contralateral to the stimulation site. This is a phenomenon related to photic inhibition. This phenomenon disappeared after ablation of the flocculus and paraflocculus ipsilateral to the stimulation site. The neural pathway responsible for it is considered to be by way of the flocculus.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Einführen einer bipolaren Reizelektrode in das Mesencephalon des Kaninchens zur Auslösung des zentralen Nystagmus. Der Nystagmus war deutlich verstärkt in Dunkelheit oder bei Verschluß des Auges auf der Reizseite, aber nicht verstärkt bei Verschluß des Auges auf der Gegenseite des Reizes. Diese Erscheinung ist auf die Verminderung der Lichteinwirkung zurückzuführen und verschwindet nach Ablatio des Flocculus und des Paraflocculus auf der Reizseite.

    Notes: Abstract A simple method to determine γ-ray attenuation coefficients using Ba-133 γ-rays has been developed and applied to self-absorption correction in routine γ-ray spectrometry for environmental samples composed of unknown matrix elements. Experimental values of the mass attenuation coefficient obtained by the method agree well with calculated values for samples of known elemental composition which was determined by means of chemical analysis.
