    Notes: In our previous study, apparent reduction of glucocorticoid receptor (GR) mRNA was seen in the hippocampus and the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) during repeated immobilization (IMO) stress, but not following starvation. Our laboratory has also shown that the sp1 activates, whereas tumour suppressor p53 represses the promoter activity of GR gene. In an attempt to reveal the possibility that transcription factors such as sp1 and/or p53 are involved in the regulation of GR mRNA expression in the hippocampus and in the PVN in vivo, we examined the expression of GR mRNA, p53 mRNA, and sp1 mRNA in the hippocampus and in the PVN during repeated IMO and following starvation. In addition, the expression of these mRNAs was examined in the anterior pituitary, another GR-rich area. GR mRNA in all subfields of the hippocampus was robustly decreased, while GR mRNA in the anterior pituitary was increased, 24 h following 4 × IMO (2 h daily, for 4 consecutive days) and immediately after 5 × IMO. GR mRNA in the PVN was significantly decreased immediately after 5 × IMO, but not at 24 h after 4 × IMO. Conversely, p53 mRNA in the PVN and hippocampus was increased, whereas p53 mRNA in the anterior pituitary was decreased, 24 h following 4 × IMO and immediately after 5 × IMO. Sp1 mRNA was unchanged in all areas examined following repeated IMO. Following 4 days of starvation, neither GR mRNA, p53 mRNA nor sp1 mRNA showed any changes in the PVN and the hippocampus, except there was a minor decrease in GR mRNA in CA1-2. In the anterior pituitary, 4 days of starvation induced a minor, but significant increase in GR mRNA, whereas it decreased p53 mRNA. Overall, regression analyses revealed a negative correlation between GR mRNA levels and p53 mRNA levels in CA1-2 and dentate gyrus of the hippocampus and in the anterior pituitary. GR mRNA in the PVN also showed a tendency towards the negative correlation with p53 mRNA levels. The results raise the possibility that p53 negatively regulates GR mRNA expression in the PVN, the hippocampus and the anterior pituitary during repeated immobilization stress.

    Notes: Regulation of acute-phase serum amyloid A (A-SAA) synthesis by proinflammatory cytokines and steroid hormones in human aortic smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) is distinct from that in HepG2 cells. To study the cis- and trans-activating promoter element involved in the SAA1 gene expression by HASMCs and HepG2 cells, we constructed plasmid vectors for luciferase reporter gene assay with varying lengths of SAA1 upstream regulatory region (up to 1431 bp), and examined their response to proinflammatory cytokines and/or steroid hormones. The corresponding vectors with the SAA4 upstream regulatory region served as controls. The presence of proposed transcriptional regulatory factors binding to these regions was confirmed immunohistochemically.The sequences of 1478 and 1836 bp of the SAA1 and SAA4 5′-flanking regions were determined, respectively. SAA1 promoter transcription in cultured HASMCs was upregulated not by proinflammatory cytokines, but rather by glucocorticoids. This differed from HepG2 cells, in which SAA1 promoter transcription was upregulated synergistically by proinflammatory cytokines and glucocorticoids. The promoter activity of a series of truncated SAA1 promoter constructs measured using the reporter gene assay showed that the 5′-region from −252 to −175, containing a consensus site for CCAAT/enhancer binding proteins α,β (C/EBPα,β), was essential for SAA1 induction in HASMCs. In HepG2 cells, the 5′-region from −119 to −79, containing a nuclear factor kappa-B (NFκB) consensus sequence, was essential for the induction. The functional significance of the C/EBP site as indicated by the immunohistochemical result was that in HASMCs anti-C/EBPβ reactivity was shifted from the cytoplasm to the nuclei.We have, therefore, demonstrated that the region containing the C/EBPα,β consensus binding site between the bases −252 and −175 is important for the glucocorticoid-induced SAA1 gene expression in HASMCs but not in HepG2 cells.

    Notes: Five patients with mclanoacanthonia are reported. The skin lesions consisted of a single, round plaque measuring several centimeters in diameter. Histologic findings were characterized by formation within an acanthotic epidermis, of many islands of small basaloid cells and highly dendritic melanocytes. Electron microscopic examination of one lesion revealed a disturbance of melanin transfer from the highly dendritic melanocytes to the neighboring keratinoeytes.

    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: : 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: 1. The effects of glucagon on the secretion of pancreatic juice were investigated using blood-perfused canine pancreas preparations.2. Intravenous administration of glucagon (3–30 μg/kg) to the donor dog elicited a dose-dependent increase in pancreatic secretion. Intra-arterial administration of glucagon (10–100 μg) into the perfused pancreas also elicited increased secretion.3. There were slight increases in amylase concentration of the pancreatic juice with the largest doses of glucagon given by either route.4. Glucagon-induced secretion was not modified by treatment with phentolamine, propranolol, atropine, guanethidine, tetrodotoxin, haloperidol, prostaglandin F2a or calcitonin.5. The results suggest that glucagon acts directly on the exocrine cells of the canine pancreas.

    EFFECTS OF CALCITONIN ON THE SECRETION OF PANCREATIC JUICE INDUCED BY DOPAMINE, SECRETIN AND PANCREOZYMIN (1976)

    Notes: 1. Effects of calcitonin on dopamine-, secretin- and pancreozymin-induced pancreatic secretion were investigated in the isolated blood-perfused canine pancreas.2. The volume of pancreatic secretion induced by pancreozymin given intra-arterially (i.a.) was decreased by an i.a. infusion of 1 u/min of calcitonin, but that induced by dopamine or secretin given i.a. was not affected by calcitonin treatment.3. Amylase concentration in pancreatic juice either in spontaneous secretion in the resting state or in that of stimulated secretion by pancreozymin was decreased approximately 30% by calcitonin treatment, but amylase concentration in pancreatic juice induced by dopamine or secretin was not affected by calcitonin treatment.4. Calcitonin had no effect on bicarbonate concentration in pancreatic juice stimulated by these secretagogues.5. Calcium concentration in pancreatic juice in the resting state was reduced about 36% by calcitonin treatment. Calcitonin caused a decrease in a calcium concentration in the pancreozymin-induced secretion, but did not cause any change in the dopamine- or secretin-induced one.6. These results suggest that calcitonin may affect the secretory mechanism of the acinar cells but not that of the ductular cells, and that the acinar cells are active even in the resting state.

    Notes: Summary Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIA) is a form of physical urticaria that is induced by exercise. A 16-year-old Japanese boy had a 4-year history of recurrent wealing and dyspnoea after physical exercise such as jogging, playing handball or riding a bicycle in winter. The episodes were not associated with ingestion of foods including wheat or soya bean. A provocation test, with 15 min of exercise and 2 min of cold stimulation immediately before or immediately after the exercise, elicited a weal that was localized to the test area. A challenge test with ingestion of boiled soya beans and exercise did not elicit a weal. Therefore, in this case, cold exposure, but not food ingestion, was essential for inducing EIA. Cold-dependent EIA is different from cold urticaria, food-dependent EIA, cholinergic urticaria and cold-induced cholinergic urticaria, and may be a distinct entity.

    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.
