Abstract
The aim of our study was to investigate whether high β-glucan-containing barley (7.2 g per 100 g) improves postprandial plasma glucose levels and suppresses postprandial insulin levels during a meal tolerance test in type 2 diabetic patients. A meal tolerance test (500 kcal) was conducted using two types of test meals: a test meal with white rice (WR) alone (WR diet) and a test meal with WR mixed with 50% barley (BR diet) as staple food. The side dish was the same in the both meals. The changes in plasma glucose and serum C-peptide immunoreactivity (CPR) levels for 180 minutes after ingestion of the test meals were compared. Ten patients with type 2 diabetes (age 52.5 ± 15.1 years, and 7 males and 3 females) were included in this study. The mean HbA1c level and body mass index were 8.8 ± 1.4%, and 29.7 ± 4.5 kg/m2, respectively. Plasma glucose levels after ingestion of the WR diet or BR diet peaked at 60 minutes, which showed no significant differences between the two types of test meals. However, the incremental area under the curve (IAUC) of plasma glucose levels after ingestion of BR diet was significantly lower than that of WR diet. The serum CPR levels at 180 min and their IAUC over 180 minutes after ingestion of BR diet were significantly lower than those of WR diet. Conclusion: Increase in postprandial plasma glucose and insulin levels was suppressed by mixing high-β-glucan barley with WR in type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract
The effect of white rice (WR) mixed with high β-glucan-containing barley at 50% on improvement of postprandial blood glucose levels was assessed by meal tolerance test and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) in 15 healthy subjects with normal glucose tolerance (age 31.6 ± 12.9 years old, 4 males and 11 females). A meal tolerance test (500 kcal) was conducted using 2 types of test meals: a test meal only with WR and a test meal WR mixed 50% barley, and the side dish was the same in both meals. Blood glucose levels of the subjects 180 minutes after ingestion of the test meals were compared. In addition, a CGM device was attached to the subjects for 2 days when the WR or barley as a staple food was provided 3 times a day for consecutive days, and the daily variation of glucose was investigated. The glucose levels 30 minutes after dietary loads and the area under the blood concentration-time curve over 180 minutes were significantly decreased in the barley consumption group. In CGM, 24-hour mean blood glucose and 24-hour standard deviation of blood glucose were also significantly decreased after ingestion of the barley. Postprandial glucose level elevation was suppressed by mixing high-β-glucan barley with WR in subjects with normal glucose tolerance.

Abstract
Amphotericin B is still the first-line therapy for neonatal fungal infections. With several comparative trials of intralipid-based amphotericin B (IL-AmB) demonstrating its clinical effectiveness and reduced renal toxicity in adults, we examined the renal tolerance and infection outcome in low-birth-weight infants in our 48-bed NICU treated with IL-AmB. Over 2 years, 52 patients (58 courses) received > or = 10 days of IL-AmB. Nineteen charts (23 episodes) were randomly accessed and reviewed. Mean birthweight = 747 grams, gestational age = 25.6 weeks, total IL-AmB dosage = 19.8 +/- 3.3 mg/kg (n = 23); 20 of these episodes were fungal culture positive (9 fungemias). Only one patient (who died during therapy) had a rise in creatinine of > 0.3 mg/dL. Overall, serum creatinine decreased significantly after Day 10 of IL-AmB therapy, from 0.93 +/- 0.42 mg/dL at baseline, to 0.54 +/- 0.24 after 19 days of therapy (p < 0.0001). Serial urine output, serum potassium and potassium supplementation data showed no significant differences from baseline. No interruption of therapy nor infusion reactions occurred. Only one death occurred attributable to fungal infection. Intralipid-amphotericin B may provide an effective alternative in the antifungal therapy of low birthweight neonates, without nephrotoxicity. Further prospective, comparative trials are warranted.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report an 8-month-old infant with choroidal osteoma. METHOD Case report. RESULTS The patient, who had bilateral yellow stippling at the posterior pole, was followed up for 8 years. Both fundi developed creamy, irregular scalloped lesions. Computed tomography showed a bony plate at the posterior pole bilaterally. CONCLUSION We believe that this is the youngest patient reported to have choroidal osteoma.

Abstract
A 61-year-old woman had proptosis, pulsation of the globe, orbital bruit and epibulbar congestion in the left eye. The cavernous sinus appeared enlarged by computed tomography. No trauma was noted. Despite the lack of carotid angiographic findings, the patient was diagnosed as having spontaneous carotid cavernous fistula. No surgery was performed. At the age of 67 years, the patient complained of pain in the left eye. Acute angle-closure glaucoma, choroidal detachment and exudative retinal detachment were concurrently found in the left eye. An ocular pulse on the tonography reading in the left eye was larger than in the right eye. Concurrent acute angle-closure glaucoma, choroidal detachment and exudative retinal detachment with carotid cavernous fistula, as found in our patient, may be rare.

Abstract
A 15-year-old girl and her 13-year-old brother had high myopia, mottled retinas with nonrecordable electroretinographic responses OU, and mental retardation. Both siblings had normal pupillary reactions to light, normal levels of serum amino acids, no nystagmus, no obesity, and no polydactyly. A consanguineous marriage of the patients' parents was found. We believe that the association of high myopia, retinal dystrophy, and mental retardation noted in these siblings may be uncommon.

Abstract
A 51-year-old man with bilateral cataracts and retinitis pigmentosa had decreased visual acuity. He also had retrocorneal ridges OU. The patient had undergone anterior posterior radial keratotomy (Sato's operation) OU at age 14 years. We believe that the retrocorneal ridges in our patient, which were found after Sato's operation, may be rare.

Abstract
A 78-year-old woman complained of ocular pain in the right eye. Thirty-three months before, the patient had a pterygium excised and mitomycin C, 0.04%, was instilled 3 times a day postoperatively for 10 days in the right eye. The same surgery was performed and the same drug was used for a course of 5 days in the left eye. Corneoscleral ulceration and corneal performation occurred in the right eye. The lesions were successfully treated with a lamellar patch graft with reserved corneosclera. We believe that it may not be safe to instill 0.04% mitomycin C 3 times a day postoperatively for 10 days.

Abstract
Anhydrochymotrypsin immobilized on Sepharose specifically adsorbed various peptides containing L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine, or L-phenylalanine residues at their carboxy-termini. These peptides correspond to the specific products of chymotryptic cleavage of polypeptides. A mixture of the chymotryptic peptides once adsorbed on the column could be effectively separated by eluting them with a pH gradient. This adsorbent, on the other hand, showed no substantial affinity toward the substrate-type peptides that contain the aromatic amino acid(s) within the peptide chain, or toward the C-terminal leucine peptides. By taking advantage of this unique property of anhydrochymotrypsin-Sepharose in combination with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography, we have succeeded in separating the C-terminal peptides from chymotryptic digests of reduced and S-carboxymethylated bovine insulin and from tryptic digests from reduced and S-carboxymethylated Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor.
