    Notizen: The influence of seed quality on seedling growth of white clover cv Makibashiro plants was examined in a controlled environment. The average dry matter (DM) yield of 70-day-old seedlings from a poor-quality seed lot was significantly less than that from a high-quality seed lot. In both seed lots, a linear relationship between the DM yield and time from sowing was observed. The slope of regression of DM yield against time from sowing for the poor-quality seed lot was less than the equivalent slope of the high-quality seed lot, suggesting that possible avenues for increased DM accumulation in a high-quality seed lot are somewhat indirect (time of emergence, uniform emergence etc.); a direct effect of seed quality on the photosynthetic ability of plant tissue seems less likely to occur. The root: shoot ratios declined in both groups of plants with increasing age. Seedlings from the high-quality seed lot reached a stable root:shoot ratio (equilibrium state) much earlier than those from the poor quality seed lot. The seed quality had no influence on the proportion of DM partitioned to various organs. The results of this study are discussed in relation to field establishment.

    Notizen: A field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of autumn defoliation treatments on inflorescence production, potential seed yield and yield components of white clover cv Makibashiro. Between 10 July and 10 October 1992, white clover swards were subjected to one of three treatments: monthly cutting to 3–4 cm (4DEF), cutting to 3–4 cm on 10 August and 10 October (2DEF), and no cutting (control). The total numbers of inflorescences and the proportion of inflorescences in different development categories were counted throughout the period of seed crop development to determine the pattern of inflorescence development and optimum harvest date. There were consistent significant differences in inflorescence density between treatments. Plots which received the 2DEF treatment produced significantly more inflorescences than did the no-defoliation (control) and 4DEF-treatment plots. In this particular year the optimum harvest date (date at which the proportion of ripe inflorescences and potential seed yield was highest) was 26 July, approximately 30 d after peak flowering. Defoliation treatments had no effect on optimum harvest date. However, treatments differed in potential seed yield and ripe inflorescences on this date. The 2DEF treatment gave the highest potential seed yield because there were significantly more ripe inflorescences than either the contol or 4DEF plots. Control plots produced inflorescences with more florets than the other two defoliation treatments, but the differences were not always significant. Seed number per pod was higher in inflorescences obtained from previously defoliated plots than from control plots. The 1000-seed weight was significantly lower in inflorescences developed in 4DEF plots than those developed in 2DEF and control plots. The results are discussed in relation to the management of white clover seed crops and the importance of canopy structure and light intensity for seed production.

    Notizen: Abstract. We describe the deposition and characterization of Bi12SiO20 (bismuth silicon oxide; BSO) thin films on Y-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and SiO2 glass substrates by pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) for the application of an electric field sensor. It was found that all films deposited on YSZ substrates heated at 400 °C and more were crystallized and the (310) plane was perpendicular to the substrate normal. The highly (310) oriented crystallized films were even deposited on SiO2 glass substrates, and this will make it possible to grow the crystallized films on the end surface of a SiO2 glass fiber.

    Notizen: Summary To investigate the influence of the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) genotype on the clinical features of diabetes, 212 Japanese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (154 males and 58 females aged 17–83 years; mean age 58.2 years) were investigated. Genotyping of ALDH2 was performed by the polymerase chain reaction – restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The pattern of inheritance of diabetes and various clinical parameters was compared between active and inactive ALDH2 groups. Of the 212 subjects, 120 had active ALDH2 and 92 had inactive ALDH2. The percentage of patients with a diabetic mother was higher in the inactive ALDH2 group (32.6 %) than in the active ALDH2 group (19.2 %) (p 〈 0.05). The prevalence of proliferative retinopathy was lower in the inactive ALDH2 group than in the active ALDH2 group (p 〈 0.05). However, other clinical parameters showed no difference. We conclude that maternal inheritance of diabetes was common in the inactive ALDH2 group. The finding is suggestive of a relationship between alcohol intolerance and inheritance of diabetes. We speculate that the interaction between mitochondrial DNA and ALDH2 inactivity causes an increase of mitochondrial DNA mutations or deletions, thereby inducing the maternal inheritance of diabetes. The relationship of the ALDH2 genotype with proliferative retinopathy is interesting, because it resembles that of chlorpropamide alcohol flushing with severe diabetic retinopathy. The interaction of aldehyde dehydrogenase isoenzymes might have an aetiological role, since aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 plays an important part in oxidation of retinal to retinoic acid. However, the number of affected patients with proliferative retinopathy was small, hence, our result should be considered as a preliminary finding. [Diabetologia (1996) 39: 1115–1118]

    Notizen: Abstract. Objective and Design: The role of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 was examined using a rat endotoxin shock model and the potency and selectivity of NS-398, a COX-2 selective inhibitor in vitro, for COX-2 activity was examined in vivo.¶Material: Male Wistar rats (weighing 140–180 g) were used.¶Methods: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 1 mg/kg, i.v.) was administered to rats (LPS-treated rats) and expression of COX-1 mRNA and COX-2 mRNA in the aorta and peripheral blood leukocytes was examined by RT-PCR. COX activity was assessed by measuring the plasma 6-keto prostaglandin (PG) F1 α, PGE2 and thromboxane (TX) B2 30 s after administration of arachidonic acid (AA, 3 mg/kg, i.v.). NS-398 (0.3–100 mg/kg, p.o.) or indomethacin (0.3–3 mg/kg, p.o.) was administered 1 h before the AA injection.¶Results: COX-2 mRNA was detectable in the aorta and peripheral blood leukocytes at least from 3 to 9 h after the LPS injection but not in non-LPS-treated rats. Plasma 6-keto PGF1 α, PGE2 and TXB2 levels after AA injection into LPS-treated rats were significantly enhanced compared to findings in non-LPS-treated rats. NS-398 showed significant inhibition of the increase in PGs in LPS-treated rats, the ED50 values being 0.35 mg/kg for 6-keto PGF1 α, 1.5 mg/kg for PGE2 and 〈 0.3 mg/kg for TXB2. NS-398 even at 100 mg/kg did not significantly suppress the increased PGs levels in non-LPS-treated rats. In contrast, indomethacin significantly inhibited plasma PGs levels after AA injection into LPS-treated rats and non-LPS-treated rats. The ED50 values in LPS-treated rats, determined by 6-keto PGF1 α, PGE2 and TXB2 production, were 1.0, 1.3 and 2.3 mg/kg and those in non-LPS-treated rats were 0.42, 0.24 and 0.93 mg/kg, respectively.¶Conclusions: In a rat endotoxin shock model, expression of COX-2 plays a role in an increase in COX activity. NS-398 showed preferential inhibitory effects on COX-2 activity in vivo. This approach is useful to directly analyze the inhibitory activity of NSAIDs for COX-1 and COX-2 in vivo.

    Notizen: Abstract Five analogs of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2D3] [1], 26,27-dimethyl-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3] [2], 26,27-dimethyl-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2(Et)2D3] [3], 26,27-dipropyl-1α, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)2(Pr)2D3] [4], 26,27-dimethyl-24, 24-difluoro-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, and [5] 24a-homo-24,24-difluoro-1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3] were investigated to clarify the possibility that prevents osteopenia induced in rats by ovariectomy and sciatic neurotomy. The objective of our studies was to determine whether these analogs may be effective for treatment of subjects with osteoporosis. 1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, 24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, and 24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3 prevented decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) of the femur, as measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). The potency of 1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3 in this test was higher than that of 1,25(OH)2D3. The potencies of 24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3 and 24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3 were similar to that of 1,25(OH)2D3. On the other hand, though 1,25(OH)2(Et)2D3 and 1,25(OH)2(Pr)2D3 had a preventive effect on the decease in BMD, the potency of two analogs was lower than that of 1,25(OH)2D3. Decreases in cortical and trabecular bone areas of the femur were prevented by three analogs of 1,25(OH)2D3, 1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, 24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, and 24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3. Serum calcium (Ca) concentration was elevated at the last administration of three analogs of 1,25(OH)2D3, 1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, 24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3 and 24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3. Decreases in the Ca concentration in untreated rats were noted a few days after the last administration. In light of these positive effects, we are continuing research on 1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, 24F2-1,25(OH)2(Me)2D3, and 24aF2-homo-1,25(OH)2D3 as putative treatment for osteoporosis.

    Notizen: Abstract Inactive aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 (ALDH2) is a well-known biological deterrent of heavy drinking among Asians, although some individuals who have inactive ALDH2 do become alcoholics. Unknown biological mechanisms facilitating the development of the disease may operate in such a way that these individuals overcome adverse reactions, or they may lower the intensity of the reactions. To examine our hypothesis that ethanol-oxidizing isoenzymes have lower catalytic properties in some persons, we investigated polymorphisms of ethanol-oxidizing enzymes that may alter their catalytic activities, viz., alcohol dehydrogenase-2 (ADH2) and -3 (ADH3), and cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYTP2E1), among 80 Japanese alcoholics with inactive ALDH2, 575 alcoholics with active ALDH2, and 461 controls. Although higher ADH2*1 and ADH3*2 allele frequencies were observed in alcoholics than in controls, there was no significant difference in ADH2 and ADH3 genotypes between alcoholics with inactive ALDH2 and alcoholics with active ALDH2. The genotype distributions of CYTP2E1 did not differ among the three groups, indicating no allelic association of the c1/c2 polymorphism of CYTP2E1 with alcoholism. These results suggest that genetic variations in ethanol-oxidizing activities are involved in the development of the disease, but that these variations are not specific in alcoholics with inactive ALDH2, a group at genetically low risk for alcoholism.

    Notizen: Abstract Serum (+)- and (-)-nicardipine concentrations were determined after oral administration of racemic nicardipine, and the relationship between the concentration of each enantiomer and the percentage change in blood pressure was investigated. Serum concentrations of (+)-and (-)-nicardipine were assayed separately by a method combining high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with gas chromatography — mass spectrometry (GS-MS). Linear relationships were found with serum concentrations of 0.25–80 mg·ml−1 for both enantiomers of nicardipine with correlation coefficients of greater than 0.999. A single oral dose of 40 mg racemic nicardipine was given to 15 patients with essential hypertension. Serum (+)-nicardipine concentration was 2–3 times higher than the concentration of (-)-nicardipine 1, 2, and 3 after drug administration. The logarithmically transformed value of the serum (+)-nicardipine concentration was inversely correlated with the percentage change in systolic blood pressure, the correlation being statistically significant 1 and 2 h after drug administration, and also inversely correlated with the percentage change in diastolic blood pressure 1, 2 and 3 h after drug administration. However, the logarithmically transformed value of serum (-)-nicardipine showed no significant correlations with the percentage change in either systolic or diastolic blood pressure.

    Notizen: Abstract Objectives: The present study was conducted to compare pharmacokinetic behaviors of nicardipine enantiomers given in different doses with different formulations of racemic nicardipine in healthy volunteers. Methods: One or two 20-mg racemic nicardipine tablets, and a 40-mg sustained-release capsule of nicardipine were administered to eight healthy volunteers in a cross-over fashion and pharmacokinetic parameters were evaluated. Enantiomer concentrations were determined by GC-MS combined with chiral stationary phase HPLC. Results and conclusions: Serum concentration of (+)-nicardipine was approximately 2–3 times higher than that of (−)-nicardipine in 20- and 40-mg doses of conventional formulations and a non-linear increase in bioavailability with dose was demonstrated. The value for AUC of (+)-nicardipine was approximately 2.3–2.8 times greater than that of the (−)-nicardipine (P 〈 0.05) when 20 and 40 mg racemic nicardipine were administered in a conventional preparation. Relative bioavailability of the sustained-release preparation vs the conventional preparation was 28% and 44% for (+)- and (−)-nicardipine, respectively, for the 40-mg dose.
