Abstract
In dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, the inhibition of plasma DPP-4 activity by 80% is considered sufficient to have an effect on glycemic control improvement through the elevation of intact glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). To clarify whether or not the 80% inhibition is sufficient to protect against GLP-1 degradation, we investigated rats with a continuous infusion of exogenous GLP-1. When GLP-1 was infused into the femoral or portal vein, the steady state active GLP-1 levels in plasma significantly increased (P<0.05) at the 80% inhibitory concentration (IC80) of anagliptin (a highly selective DPP-4 inhibitor) against plasma DPP-4 activity, compared with control. In addition, the peptide levels increased in a concentration-dependent manner at drug concentrations from IC80 to 10-fold IC80, and the levels at the 10-fold IC80 were significantly higher (P<0.05) than those at IC80. The concentration dependency on GLP-1 increment was also confirmed based on the experiment in which the endogenous active GLP-1 levels were measured after an oral carbohydrate load. These findings suggest that an almost complete inhibition (80%) of plasma DPP-4 activity was insufficient to protect GLP-1 degradation, and much higher drug concentrations such as 10-fold IC80 are necessary to potently protect GLP-1 from degradation by DPP-4 commonly present in blood and tissues.

Abstract
Beraprost sodium, a stable prostacyclin analog, was showed to improve survival rates in two different rat models, anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) glomerulonephritis (GN) and 5/6 nephrectomized (Nx) chronic kidney disease (CKD) rats. In the anti-GBM rat, beraprost sodium (0.2 and 0.6 mg/kg/day) improved survival rate (hazard ratio for beraprost sodium 0.6 mg/kg/day group, 0.10; 95% confidence interval, 0.01 to 0.68). Subsequently, in the 5/6 Nx CKD rat, beraprost sodium (0.6 mg/kg/day) improved survival rate (hazard ratio for beraprost sodium, 0.46; 95% confidence interval, 0.23 to 0.92), serum creatinine doubling time and the slope of the reciprocal of serum creatinine. In the anti-GBM GN rats, beraprost sodium suppressed the serum accumulation of representative uremic toxins such as indoxyl sulfate. Furthermore, beraprost sodium inhibited human aortic endothelial cell (HAEC) injury induced by indoxyl sulfate, indicating that beraprost sodium might have a protective effect against cardiovascular damage due to CKD. These results show that beraprost sodium can improve the survival rates in two rat models of anti-GBM GN and 5/6 Nx CKD rats by protecting endothelial cells and thereby ameliorating decreased renal function. Therefore, clinical studies are needed in patients with chronic kidney failure to determine whether beraprost sodium will become a useful medication in CKD.

Abstract
SETTING Gitega Fistula Centre (GFC), a dedicated obstetric fistula repair centre providing comprehensive care at the Gitega District Hospital, rural Burundi. OBJECTIVES To describe 1) the proportion who returned for scheduled 3- and 6-month follow-up visits and 2) outcomes (fistula closure rates and continence status) at discharge from hospital and after 3 and 6 months among patients who underwent fistula repair surgery. DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis using programme data from April 2010 to December 2011. RESULTS A total of 475 women with obstetric fistula underwent surgical repair. At discharge from hospital, 415 (87%) had a closed fistula, of whom 318 (77%) were continent of urine and/or faeces, while 97 (23%) remained incontinent despite closure. Of the 415 patients with closed fistula, only 244 (59%) were followed up at 3 months and 73 (18%) at 6 months (χ(2) for linear trend 576, P < 0.0001). This indicates progressive loss to follow-up, reaching 82% by 6 months. CONCLUSION Women undergoing obstetric fistula repair surgery at GFC achieve good hospital exit outcomes. Thereafter, substantial and progressive loss to follow-up hinder the ability to judge programme success over time. Steps to address this operational problem are discussed.

Abstract
Salt/NaCl has been reported to induce necrosis in gastric mucosal cells, however, the mechanisms for gastric injury by salt are not clarified. In this study, we elucidated whether salt is an oxidative stress inducer via mitochondrial injury on rat gastric epithelial cells (RGM-1) in 300, 450, 650 and 1000 mM of NaCl-contained medium. To clarify whether salt-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) is derived from mitochondria, we also investigated a salt-induced ROS production in manganese superoxide dismutase overexpressing cells (RGM-MnSOD). MnSOD is a specific scavenger for superoxide anion produced from mitochondria. The results showed that cellular injuries in RGM-MnSOD were significantly less severe than that in normal RGM-1. The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies also provided an evidence that the salt-derived superoxide production in RGM-MnSOD was less than that in normal RGM-1. These results indicated that salt is not merely a necrotizing factor for gastric epithelial cells, but also an oxidative stress inducer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has long been known that women lose satisfaction with their hair with ageing. Our data show that caucasian women perceive a decrease in hair amount in their mid 40s with a further decrease in the mid to late 50s, which leads to this dissatisfaction. Neither loss of density (hairs per cm(2) ) nor shaft diameter alone can fully account for this perception. A new metric, 'hair amount', is proposed as a quantitative metric combining the impact of both density and diameter on the perception of hair loss. OBJECTIVES Creation of a single parameter combining the contribution of diameter and density to perception of female age-related hair loss. METHODS In total, 1099 caucasian women (ages 18-66 years) with self-perceived hair loss and 315 caucasian women (ages 17-86 years) with no complaint of hair loss were evaluated. Scalp hair diameter was measured using optical fibre diameter and image analysis. Scalp hair density was measured by phototrichogram with manual or automated counting. RESULTS Parietal scalp hair diameter increased from ages 20 to 40-45 years, then decreased. Hair density was highest in the youngest group, age 20-30 years, and decreased thereafter with increasing rate. In women self-perceiving hair loss, the rate of decrease in density was significantly faster than for women with no self-perception of hair loss. The combined metric 'hair amount' was relatively constant at younger ages, increasing very slightly to age 35 years, then decreasing significantly. CONCLUSIONS Increasing hair shaft diameter offsets decreasing hair density through the mid 30s. After that, a lower rate of diameter increase combined with the decrease in density begins to significantly impact the perception of hair amount so that thinning becomes increasingly more noticeable in the mid 40s to the mid to late 50s. Quantitative determination of hair amount is a useful tool to combine the contributions of hair density and diameter to women's perception of age-related hair loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dandruff/seborrhoeic dermatitis is a common scalp condition that is characterized by flakes, pruritus and sometimes mild erythema. These symptoms reflect tissue level events that are poorly understood at the molecular level. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this work was: (i) to compare gene expression profiles in subjects with dandruff vs. those of subjects without dandruff to determine the key physiological disruptions manifest in the condition; and (ii) to determine the effect on this profile of treatment with a shampoo containing potentiated zinc pyrithione (ZPT). METHODS In study 1, scalp biopsies were taken from 16 normal subjects and from involved and uninvolved sites in 15 subjects with dandruff. In study 2, 30 subjects with dandruff were treated for 3 weeks with a commercial ZPT shampoo (n = 15) or a vehicle (n = 15), and scalp lesional biopsies were collected at baseline and end of study for transcriptomic analysis. RNA was extracted from all biopsies and Affymetrix gene chips were used to analyse transcriptomic profiles, followed by bioinformatic analysis. RESULTS Analysis of study 1 biopsies revealed more than 7000 individual probes differentially regulated in dandruff lesional skin relative to normal. Enriched Gene Ontology categories included: lipid metabolism, immune response, response to stimulus, apoptosis, cell proliferation, and epidermal development. The most striking feature of lesional skin relative to normal was the reciprocal expression of induced inflammatory genes and repressed lipid metabolism genes. Induced inflammatory genes were also enriched in dandruff uninvolved skin, suggesting the existence of predisposing factors associated with inflammation. Many genes increased in lesional skin were increased at the level of protein in stratum corneum samples (e.g. IL-1RA, S100A8, S100A9, S100A11, IL-8). Under conditions known to improve overall scalp condition, the ZPT shampoo treatment in study 2 produced a transcriptomic profile resembling that of normal scalp skin. CONCLUSIONS These data provide novel insights into the nature of dandruff and the therapeutic action of potentiated ZPT-containing shampoo, and provide a basis to explore many new mechanistic questions related to these topics.

Abstract
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), a dietary polyphenol and a major tea catechin, is a known sucrase inhibitor. Since dietary pectin is known to modulate some of the functions of the gastrointestinal tract, we investigated whether it could specifically affect the efficacy of EGCg on an oral sucrose tolerance test in mice. Male Crj:CD-1 (ICR) mice (seven weeks old) were randomly divided into two groups and fed a 5 % apple pectin (PE) or 5 % cellulose (CE) diet (control diet) for 28 days. After the experimental diet period, all mice were fasted overnight. A volume of 0.2 mL EGCg (20 mg/mL) was orally administered to all the mice by stainless steel feeding needle via injection syringe and a sucrose tolerance test was performed. The blood glucose levels were measured in blood collected from the tail vein using the OneTouch® Ultra® blood glucose monitoring system. Blood glucose levels at 30 minutes and 60 minutes after sucrose loading in the PE group were significantly higher than initial blood glucose levels. However, blood glucose levels at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes after sucrose loading in the CE group were not significantly higher than initial blood glucose levels. After laparotomy, plasma lipids were also measured. Plasma triglyceride concentrations were significantly greater in the PE group than in the CE (control) group. This demonstrates that dietary pectin can affect the efficacy of EGCg on the oral sucrose tolerance test in mice.

Rebamipide attenuates nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) induced lipid peroxidation by the manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) overexpression in gastrointestinal epithelial cells. JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY AND PHARMACOLOGY : AN OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE POLISH PHYSIOLOGICAL SOCIETY 2012; 63:137-142. [PMID: 22653900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2012] [Accepted: 04/02/2012] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) often cause gastrointestinal complications such as gastric ulcers and erosions. Recent studies on the pathogenesis have revealed that NSAIDs induce lipid peroxidation in gastric epithelial cells by generating superoxide anion in mitochondria, independently with cyclooxygenase-inhibition and the subsequent prostaglandin deficiency. Although not clearly elucidated, the impairment of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, or uncoupling, by NSAIDs is associated with the generation of superoxide anion. Physiologically, superoxide is immediately transformed into hydrogen peroxide and diatomic oxygen with manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD). Rebamipide is an antiulcer agent that showed protective effects against NSAID-induced lipid peroxidation in gastrointestinal tracts. We hypothesized that rebamipide may attenuate lipid peroxidation by increasing the expression of MnSOD protein in mitochondria and decreasing the leakage of superoxide anion in NSAID-treated gastric and small intestinal epithelial cells. Firstly, to examine rebamipide increases the expression of MnSOD proteins in mitochondria of gastrointestinal epithelial cells, we underwent Western blotting analysis against anti-MnSOD antibody in gastric RGM1 cells and small intestinal IEC6 cells. Secondly, to examine whether the pretreatment of rebamipide decreases NSAID-induced mitochondrial impairment and lipid peroxidation, we treated these cells with NSAIDs with or without rebamipide pretreatment, and examined with specific fluorescent indicators. Finally, to examine whether pretreatment of rebamipide attenuates NSAID-induced superoxide anion leakage from mitochondria, we examined the mitochondria from indomethacin-treated RGM1 cells with electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy using a specific spin-trapping reagent, CYPMPO. Rebamipide increased the expression of MnSOD protein, and attenuated NSAID-induced mitochondrial impairment and lipid peroxidation in RGM1 and IEC6 cells. The pretreatment of rebamipide significantly decreased the signal intensity of superoxide anion from the mitochondria. We conclude that rebamipide attenuates lipid peroxidation by increasing the expression of MnSOD protein and decreasing superoxide anion leakage from mitochondria in both gastric and small intestinal epithelial cells.

Abstract
A highly charged uranium (U) ion beam is produced from the RIKEN superconducting electron cyclotron resonance ion source using 18 and 28 GHz microwaves. The sputtering method is used to produce this U ion beam. The beam intensity is strongly dependent on the rod position and sputtering voltage. We observe that the emittance of U(35+) for 28 GHz microwaves is almost the same as that for 18 GHz microwaves. It seems that the beam intensity of U ions produced using 28 GHz microwaves is higher than that produced using 18 GHz microwaves at the same Radio Frequency (RF) power.

Abstract
We measured the beam intensity of highly charged heavy ions and x-ray heat load for RIKEN superconducting electron cyclotron resonance ion source with 28 GHz microwaves under the various conditions. The beam intensity of Xe(20+) became maximum at B(min) ∼ 0.65 T, which was ∼65% of the magnetic field strength of electron cyclotron resonance (B(ECR)) for 28 GHz microwaves. We observed that the heat load of x-ray increased with decreasing gas pressure and field gradient at resonance zone. It seems that the beam intensity of highly charged heavy ions with 28 GHz is higher than that with 18 GHz at same RF power.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiosurgical management of large cystic metastatic brain tumors represents a significant challenge. Nevertheless, modified dose planning has shown beneficial results in such cases. METHOD AND RESULTS "Donut's shape" radiosurgical treatment planning is based on the chain-like application of multiple, small-sized isocenters for selective coverage of the contrast-enhancing tumor capsule and minimal irradiation of the central cystic area. Such an approach was used for the management of large cystic intracranial metastases, which were not accompanied by a significant mass effect and did not require immediate volume reduction. Treatment was done using Leksell Gamma Knife model C with automatic positioning system. The majority of treated lesions showed significant shrinkage after radiosurgery and no major complications were met. CONCLUSION Large cystic metastatic brain tumors may be successfully treated with gamma knife radiosurgery alone using the proposed "donut's shape" dose planning with coverage of the contrast-enhancing tumor capsule by multiple small-sized isocenters.
