Abstract
A microsatellite-enriched genomic library was obtained for the Japanese gudgeon Sarcocheilichthys variegatus microoculus, and 15 dinucleotide markers were successfully isolated and characterized. These markers were also available for other Japanese congeners, Sarcocheilichthys variegatus variegatus and Sarcocheilichthys biwaensis. In three populations of Sarcocheilichthys from Lake Biwa and the Ashida River in western Japan, seven to 27 alleles were observed for each locus. Linkage equilibrium was observed among most loci, and only one locus showed significant deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in a population. These microsatellite markers will be useful for studies of the genetic structure of the Japanese gudgeons.

Abstract
The middle ear is a rare site for benign tumors. We report six patients with benign middle ear tumors surgicaly removed: three with carcinoid, one with adenoma, and two with paraganglioma. These tumors showed similar histological features in trabecular and glandular architecture, so further immunohistochemical study was needed to make a definitive histopathological diagnosis. When we analyzed clinical features of patients diagnosed immunohistochemically, the differentiation of two patients with paraganglioma from the remaining four with adenomatous tumors such as adenoma and carcinoid was relatively easy from otomicroscopic findings and enhancement in temporal bone MRI. It was however difficult to differentiate patients with adenomatous tumors from each other because they induced similar clinical symptoms and showed similar findings in images. For a definitive diagnosis, it is necessary to conduct exploratory tympanotomy or removal of the tumors to obtain enough specimen for histological and immunohistochemical studies. Tumors induced no bone destruction or complications. We recommend staged operations for total removal of tumors and for good postoperative hearing.

Abstract
Case 1. Forty nine years woman was given a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography and trans-esophageal echocardiography showed left main trunk dissection due to local aortic root dissection. We operated surgical repair at left main trunk by pericardium after percutaneous coronary intervention. Case 2. Forty nine years man was given a diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction caused by left main trunk dissection due to traumatic local aortic root dissection. We operated coronary artery bypass grafting after insertion of perfusion catheter to left main trunk for maintain coronary perfusion. Although local dissection of aortic aorta is relatively rare, it is potentially complicated with coronary malperfusion. We describe 2 success a cases of surgical treatment for local acute type A aortic dissection complicated with coronary malperfusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) is a newly recognized middle ear disease found in asthmatic patients. EOM is characterized by a highly viscous middle ear effusion that contains many eosinophils and is extremely unresponsive to conventional treatments for common otitis media. To our knowledge, no systemic study regarding the efficacy of treatments for EOM has been performed. OBJECTIVE To determine the effectiveness of instillation of triamcinolone acetonide, which is a suspension of steroids, into the mesotympanum and eustachian tube as a treatment for patients with EOM. METHODS We studied the efficacy of the instillation of triamcinolone acetonide in 43 ears of 24 patients with EOM. Efficacy was evaluated according to the length of the period without middle ear effusion or otorrhea. We also determined the otomicroscopic findings and the hearing levels before and after therapy. For controls, 27 ears of 14 patients treated by topical administration of betamethasone were similarly evaluated. RESULTS The middle ear effusion or otorrhea was controlled for more than 3 weeks after 1 instillation of triamcinolone acetonide in 35 ears, and the efficacy rate (81%) was significantly higher than that in the controls (7 ears, 26%). In the triamcinolone acetonide group, the average air conduction hearing level at the speech frequency range was significantly improved, and deterioration of the bone conduction hearing threshold was rarely found during therapy. CONCLUSION The instillation of triamcinolone acetonide into the mesotympanum and eustachian tube is an effective treatment for patients with EOM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine eustachian tube function in patients with asthma and with or without eosinophilic otitis media (EOM), a new middle ear disease entity with a highly viscous middle ear effusion containing many eosinophils and usually associated with bronchial asthma. One of the most important causes of otitis media (OM) is eustachian tube dysfunction. DESIGN Retrospective case review. SETTING A referral center. PATIENTS Twenty patients with EOM and patients with asthma but without OM. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES We studied eustachian tube function using sonotubometry and a questionnaire. Sonotubometry was also performed on 13 control patients with chronic otitis media (COM) and 7 normal controls. RESULTS The tubal opening duration was significantly longer in patients with EOM than in patients with asthma but without OM, controls with COM, and normal controls, indicating the presence of patulous eustachian tubes in patients with EOM. Responses to the questionnaire also supported the presence of patulous eustachian tubes in the patients with EOM. CONCLUSIONS The presence of a patulous eustachian tube may be a major cause of EOM in patients with bronchial asthma. In patients with asthma who have a helper T-cell 2-dominant predisposition, a patulous eustachian tube easily allows the entry of antigenic materials into the middle ear, causing eosinophil-dominant inflammation.

Abstract
Mucoepidermoid (MEC) salivary gland tumors arise from a t(11;19) rearrangement which generates a fusion oncogene, Mect1-Maml2, that functions to activate CREB-responsive target genes. To determine if sustained expression of Mect1-Maml2 is required for tumor cell growth, we first showed that ectopic expression of Mect1-Maml2 in rat epithelial RK3E cells is tumorigenic in vivo in nude mice and that excised xenografts continue to express the fusion oncogene. We then generated a hairpin RNAi vector that selectively suppressed the fusion peptide and showed that ectopic expression in either parotid or pulmonary MEC tumor cell lines containing the t(11;19) rearrangement resulted in at least 90% colony growth inhibition. In contrast, single nucleotide changes within this RNAi sequence abolished the ability to suppress Mect1-Maml2 protein and abolished all growth inhibition of these MEC tumor lines. In addition, the RNAi-specific vector had no effect on colony growth of non-MEC tumors including a lung tumor or two other salivary gland cell lines that do not express Mect1-Maml2. We also generated a mutant Mect1-Maml2 expression plasmid that carried silent nucleotide changes within the RNAi target sequence and observed that co-transfection of this mutant, but not wild-type Mect1-Maml2, could partially rescue RNAi growth inhibition in the MEC tumor line. The recent detection of acquired fusion oncogenes in epithelial solid tumors has suggested new possibilities for the diagnosis and therapy of these cancers. Our data show that the 'gain-of-function' activity from aberrant Mect1-Maml2 expression is a candidate therapeutic target for this group of malignant salivary gland tumors.

Abstract
Semen quality was determined in a sexually mature male Giant Panda, electroejaculated 13 times during a 5-year interval, before, during and after estrus of a female Giant Panda housed nearby. Testis volume and plasma testosterone concentrations were also measured. Mean testis volumes were 1223.0 +/- 64.7(S.E.M.)cm3 (before estrus), 1213.2 +/- 218.2 cm3 (during estrus), and 1360.2+/-160.4 cm3 (after estrus). Compared to before and during estrus in the female, testis volume decreased 70 days after estrus and there was no projectile ejaculation. The mean semen volume and sperm count were 2.2+/-0.7 mL and 8.3 +/- 3.1 x 10(8) before estrus, 2.4 +/- 0.9 mL and 5.7 +/- 0.9 x 10(8) during estrus, and 1.3 +/- 0.3 mL and 8.1 +/- 1.7 x 10(8) after estrus, respectively. The semen volume, sperm count, and testis volume markedly differed from 90 days before estrus until 66 days after estrus, whereas no marked differences in sperm motility, sperm viability, and proportion of morphologically abnormal spermatozoa were observed. Plasma testosterone concentrations were elevated both before and during estrus (0.62 +/- 0.23 ng/mL and 0.95 ng/mL), but decreased substantially after estrus (0.20 +/- 0.0 ng/mL). We inferred that spermatogenesis was active in this male panda from approximately 3 months before estrus to 2 months after estrus in the adjacent female.

Abstract
Treatment of human stomach cancer KATO III cells with hot-water extracts from adzuki beans led to their growth inhibition as well as apoptosis induction. There are morphological changes in the cultured cells treated with the extracts, by which DNA fragmentation characteristic of apoptosis was actualized both concentration- and time-dependently. In contrast, N-acetyl-L-cysteine suppressed such DNA fragmentation, implying that the extracts from adzuki beans might exert antitumorigenicity via active oxygen-induced apoptosis. In order to verify this hypothesis in animal experiment, the 40% ethanol fraction of hot-water extracts was examined for its preventive effect against benzo(a)pyrene-induced tumorigenesis in the forestomach of A/J mice, given as drinking water containing the above fraction at 0.5-2.0% levels. Consequently, forestomach cancer has turned out to be reduced by 36-62% in tumor weight relative to the control. These results suggest that the fraction of hot-water adzuki extracts may serve as a nutrapharmaceutical or functional food available for cancer prevention.

Abstract
Five types of flavonol were isolated from seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides) and identified by mass, 1H- and 13C-NMR. The proliferations of human promyelotic leukemia HL-60 cells were inhibited as the concentrations of these flavonols were increased. The order of the extent of growth inhibition by the flavonols at a concentration of 20 microM is as follows: pentamethylquercetin > syringetin > isorhamnetin > quercetin > kaempherol > myricetin. Apoptotic morphological changes of the nucleus, including chromatin condensation were induced in the HL-60 cells treated with quercetin, kaempherol and myricetin, respectively, but not in the cells treated with the other flavonols. The fragmentations of DNA by quercetin, kaempherol and myricetin, respectively, to oligonucleosomal-sized fragments, a characteristic of apoptosis, were observed to be dose-dependent in the HL-60 cells. These findings suggest that growth inhibition by quercetin, kaempherol and myricetin, respectively, results from the induction of apoptosis by these flavonols. The other flavonols (pentamethylquercetin, syringetin and isorhamnetin) having methoxy (-OCH3) group inhibited more strongly than the above 3 flavonols without induction of apoptosis in the HL-60 cells. These findings suggest that mechanisms of growth inhibition by pentamethylquercetin, syringetin and isorhamnetin are different from the apoptosis caused by quercetin, kaempherol and myricetin.

Abstract
2-O-methylisohemigossylic acid lactone, a sesquiterpene, was purified from roots of mokumen (Gossampinus malabarica) and identified by Mass, and (1)H- and (13)-NMR. This sesquiterpene displayed strong growth inhibitory effect against human promyelotic leukemia HL-60 cells. Apoptotic morphological change of the nucleus, including chromatin condensation was induced in the HL-60 cells treated with the sesquiterpene. The fragmentation of DNA by the sesquiterpene to oligonucleosomal-sized fragments, a characteristic of apoptosis, was observed to be dose- and time-dependent in the HL-60 cells. Inhibitors of caspases suppressed the DNA fragmentation induced by the sesquiterpene. These findings suggest that growth inhibition by the sesquiterpene of HL-60 cells results from the induction of apoptosis by the sesqui-terpene, and that caspase cascade is involved in the induction of apoptosis by the compound in the HL-60 cells.

Abstract
We have investigated the effects of maackiain and trifolirhizin (maackiain glycoside) isolated from sanzukon (Sophora Subprostrate Chen et T. Chen) on DNA of human promyelotic HL-60 leukemia cells. It was found that extent of induction of apoptosis by maackiain was larger than that by trifolirhizin in human leukemia HL-60 cells. Morphological changes showing apoptotic bodies were observed in the HL-60 cells treated with maackiain and trifolirhizin. The fragmentations of DNA by maackiain and trifolirhizin to oligonucleosomal-sized fragments that is a characteristic of apoptosis was observed to be concentration- and time-dependent in the HL-60 cells. The data of the present study show that the suppressions by maackiain and trifolrhizin of growth of the HL-60 cells result from the induction of apoptosis by these compounds, and that the extent of growth suppression and induction of apoptosis by maackiain was greater than that by the glycoside (trifolirhizin).

The fragmentation of DNA by lupeol to oligonucleosomal-sized fragments that is a characteristic of apoptosis was observed to be concentration- and time-dependent in the HL-60 cells. Flow cytometric analysis showed that the hypodiploid nuclei of HL-60 cells were increased to 28.5, 42.0 and 70.9% after a 3-day treatment with 75, 100 and 150 micro M lupeol, respectively. The data of the present study show that the suppression by lupeol of growth of the HL-60 cells results from the induction of apoptosis by this compound.

Abstract
The comparison of antioxidative activity between the hot water extract and ambient water extract of Japanese radish (daikon) was carried out. The activity of the hot water extract was higher than that of the ambient water extract. One of the antioxidants was isolated as L-tryptophan that should no change in its amount that was determined between the hot water extract and ambient water extract. Moreover, tryptophan changed to 5-hydroxy tryptophan in the rat liver microsome model. This phenomenon may show that tryptophan is changed to another antioxidant in the body.

Abstract
Hot water soluble (HWS)-sesquiterpenes [anhydroperoxycostunolide and 3-oxo-eudesma-1,4(15),11(13)triene-12,6alpha-olide] were purified from Laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) and identified by Mass, and 1H- and 13C-NMR. These HWS-sesquiterpenes displayed strong growth inhibitory effect against human promyelotic leukemia HL-60 cells. Apoptotic morphological changes of the nucleus, including chromatin condensation were induced in the HL-60 cells treated with the sesquiterpenes. Flow cytometric analysis showed that the hypodiploid nuclei of HL-60 cells were increased to 10.5, 46.5, and 91.3% after a 3 day-treatment with 2.5, 5 and 10 micromoles anhydroperoxycostunolide, respectively. And the same analysis showed that the hypodiploid nuclei of HL-60 cells were increased to 9.8, 39.2 and 89.6% after a 3 day-treatment with 5, 10 and 20 micromoles 3-oxo-eudesma-1,4(15),11(13)triene-12,6alpha-olide, respectively. These findings suggest that growth inhibition by anhydroperoxycostunolide and 3-oxo-eudesma-1,4(15),11(13)triene-12,6alpha-olide of HL-60 cells results from the induction of chromatin condensation in the HL-60 cells. On the other hand, fragmentations by these compounds of DNA to oligonucleosomal-sized fragments were not observed in the HL-60 cells.
