    Notes: The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the effects of unilateral masseter muscle pain on the jaw-jerk reflex. The latency and peak-to-peak amplitude of bilateral electromyographic activity recorded at the masseter muscles during the jaw-jerk reflex were measured in 18 patients with craniomandibular dysfunction (CMD) with strictly unilateral masseter pain or tenderness and 10 control subjects using a computerized recording and analysis system. The reflex was elicited, at the mandibular rest position, by tapping the centre of the chin downwards with a reflex hammer incorporating a microswitch that triggered the sweep of the recording apparatus upon contact with the chin. In the CMD group, the jaw-jerk latency on the affected side (6·89±0·98 ms) was significantly shorter (P〈0·01) than that on the unaffected side (7·59±0·92 ms). In the control group, there was no difference between the jaw-jerk latencies on the right (7·06±0·64 ms) and the left (7·08±0·65 ms) sides. The range of side asymmetry for jaw-jerk latencies in the CMD group was greater than that in the control group. In six patients, the latency difference exceeded 1 ms. The asymmetry of latency of the jaw-jerk reflex was thought to be due to facilitation on the side with masseter pain or tenderness. This facilitation on the ipsilateral side might be produced by enhanced gamma drive induced by sustained nociceptive stimulation. Such effects may be related with clinically derived concepts regarding such muscle dysfunction as myospastic activity or trigger points.

    Notes: Summary Darier's disease is an autosomal dominant skin disorder that is characterized by multiple keratotic papules, focal loss of adhesion and abnormal keratinization. Mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium pumping ATPase type 2 have been identified as the molecular basis of Darier's disease. Segmental Darier's disease is a rare type of Darier's disease in which there is characteristic localization of the keratotic papules in a linear pattern following Blaschko's lines. In this study we examined ATP2A2 mutations in a Japanese patient with segmental Darier's disease. The samples from affected skin, unaffected skin and peripheral leucocytes were subjected to polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Direct sequencing of the PCR products was performed. Sequence analysis revealed that the patient had 160A→G substitution mutation which predicts I54V. This novel mutation was present in the affected skin, but not in the unaffected skin or peripheral leucocytes. This is the first report of segmental Darier's disease caused by mosaicism for an ATP2A2 mutation in Japan.

    Notes: This study was designed to determine whether painful electrical stimulation of the tooth pulp induces centrally mediated reflex vasomotor changes in human gingiva and whether the sympathetic nervous system is involved in the vasomotor responses. Dynamic changes in maxillary gingival blood flow (GBF) following painful electrical stimulation of the mandibular lateral incisor were investigated, by means of laser-Doppler flowmetry, in both healthy volunteers and patients undergoing sympathetic blockade for hyperhidrosis. Increases in GBF were observed in both healthy volunteers and patients on the ipsilateral side without an increase in systemic blood pressure, but the evoked GBF increase disappeared when pain sensation was abolished by local anesthetization with 2% xylocaine solution. The vasodilator responses did not differ in amplitude between before and after the sympathectomy. These results suggest that painful tooth stimulation evokes centrally mediated reflex vasodilation, presumably via parasympathetic efferent fibers, in the human gingiva and that sympathetic vasomotor mechanisms are not involved in these responses.

    Notes: Use of a monoclonal antibody against Lafora bodies for the immunocytochemical study of ground-glass inclusions in hepatocytes due to cyanamide Aims: Ground-glass inclusions (GGIs) in hepatocytes are known to be associated with cyanamide treatment in patients with alcohol dependency. The purpose of this study was to assess the reactivity of a monoclonal antibody (MAb) raised against polyglucosan and to detect early events in GGI formation. Methods and results: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded liver tissues from four patients treated with cyanamide were used. Sections were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and periodic acid–Schiff with and without diastase digestion, and were immunohistochemically stained with the MAb. For electron microscopic study, routinely processed liver tissue from one patient was examined with conventional and immunoelectron microscopy with use of the MAb. All specimens from the four cyanamide-treated patients contained GGIs in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes, and these GGIs reacted intensely with the MAb. Fully developed GGIs contained various organelles, whereas early ones consisted primarily of glycogen granules and dilated smooth endoplasmic reticulum. In immunoelectron microscopic preparations, gold particles were located within GGIs, and the immunolabelled organelles appeared to be glycogen granules. Conclusions: This novel MAb is useful for the detection of GGIs caused by cyanamide. Our results support the idea that GGI formation may result from specific abnormalities in glucose metabolism.

    Notes: : Based on the high level of extractability of myosin subunits (light chains), even after prolonged heat treatment of muscle, a new method to evaluate the dark muscle content in the fish meat and products of mackerel is proposed. Tissue-specific rabbit antisera with myosin light chains (A1 from ordinary muscle and D1 from dark muscle) from mackerel Scomber japonicus were obtained. Mackerel meat paste (surimi) was dissolved in 8 M urea containing 1% SDS, and diffused on agar plates containing antiserum against A1 or D1 by single radial immunodiffusion (SRID). The results obtained showed that the area of halos formed in the plates was quite proportional to the content of dark muscle.

    Notes: Abstract. We studied the effects of ebselen on rat lung inflammatory responses against ozone exposure. Rats were treated with ebselen every 12 h from 1 h before a single 4-h exposure to 2 ppm ozone. Treatment with ebselen (10 mg/kg) significantly decreased pulmonary inflammation as indicated by the albumin concentration and the number of neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid 18 h after the ozone exposure. Although treatment with ebselen did not alter the macrophage expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase after the ozone exposure, it did markedly inhibit the nitration reaction of tyrosine residues, suggesting that ebselen scavenges peroxynitrite during ozone-induced pulmonary inflammation. Treatment with ebselen also enhanced the pulmonary expression of both copper, zinc, and manganous superoxide dismutases at the same time point. These enzymes may also contribute to a decrease in the formation of peroxynitrite by lowering the concentration of superoxide. Thus, ebselen represents a useful compound for protecting against certain acute lung injuries by modulating the oxidant-related inflammatory process.

    Notes: Summary Cordycepin (3′-deoxyadenosine) inhibited viral RNA synthesis in the replication of western equine encephalitis virus, thereby causing a reduction of virus production. The rate of inhibition of viral RNA synthesis was dependent on drug concentration and the period of treatment with the drug. These results suggest that the virus RNA synthesizing system is sensitive to the drug.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Within the keratinized cells from five different sources, the trilaminar plasma membranes were commonly found. They have derived from the invaginated plasma membrane formed when the membrane-coating granules were discharged, or from infolded plasma membrane due to cellular dehydration and shrinkage. The marginal band was not formed upon these intracellular plasma membranes.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Innerhalb der verhornten Zellen, die von 5 verschiedenen Quellen stammten, wurden häufig Inseln mit dreifach geschichteten Zellmembranen gefunden. Sie entstanden aus Falten der Protoplasmamembran, nachdem die der Membran anliegenden Körnchen abgestoßen worden waren, oder aus Falten der Protoplasmamembran infolge von Zelltrocknung und Schrumpfung. Das verdickte Grenzband wurde nicht auf diesen intracellulären Inseln der Protoplasmamembran gebildet.
