Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevention of bile duct injury and vasculo-biliary injury while performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is an unsolved problem. Clarifying the surgical difficulty using intraoperative findings can greatly contribute to the pursuit of best practices for acute cholecystitis. In this study, multiple evaluators assessed surgical difficulty items in unedited videos and then constructed a proposed surgical difficulty grading. METHODS We previously assembled a library of typical video clips of the intraoperative findings for all LC surgical difficulty items in acute cholecystitis. Fifty-one experts on LC assessed unedited surgical videos. Inter-rater agreement was assessed by Fleiss's κ and Gwet's agreement coefficient (AC). RESULTS Except for one item ("edematous change"), κ or AC exceeded 0.5, so the typical videos were judged to be applicable. The conceivable surgical difficulty gradings were analyzed. According to the assessment of difficulty factors, we created a surgical difficulty grading system (agreement probability = 0.923, κ = 0.712, 90% CI: 0.587-0.837; AC2 = 0.870, 90% CI: 0.768-0.972). CONCLUSION The previously published video clip library and our novel surgical difficulty grading system should serve as a universal objective tool to assess surgical difficulty in LC.

Abstract
Croconic acid crystals show proton displacive-type ferroelectricity with a large spontaneous polarization reaching 20 μC/cm^{2}, which originates from the strong coupling of proton and π-electron degrees of freedom. Such a coupling makes us expect a large polarization change by photoirradiations. Optical-pump second-harmonic-generation-probe experiments reveal that a photoexcited croconic-acid crystal loses the ferroelectricity substantially with a maximum quantum efficiency of more than 30 molecules per one absorbed photon. Based on density functional calculations, we theoretically discuss possible pathways toward the formation of a one-dimensional domain with polarization inversion and its recovery process to the ground state by referring to the dynamics of experimentally obtained polarization changes.

Abstract
Twelve high schools in Japan (of which six are in Fukushima Prefecture), four in France, eight in Poland and two in Belarus cooperated in the measurement and comparison of individual external doses in 2014. In total 216 high-school students and teachers participated in the study. Each participant wore an electronic personal dosimeter 'D-shuttle' for two weeks, and kept a journal of his/her whereabouts and activities. The distributions of annual external doses estimated for each region overlap with each other, demonstrating that the personal external individual doses in locations where residence is currently allowed in Fukushima Prefecture and in Belarus are well within the range of estimated annual doses due to the terrestrial background radiation level of other regions/countries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously reported that prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Japan was 8.6/100,000 individuals in 2001. This was much higher than prevalence previously reported from Asian countries. A second epidemiologic survey was conducted to assess changes in MS prevalence and incidence over the last 30 years in Tokachi province of Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan. METHODS The authors studied the frequency of MS in the community of Tokachi Province, where the population has stabilized between 350,000 and 360,000 over the last 30 years. The survey was conducted at the same institutions using the same methods as the first survey in 2001. RESULTS On March 31, 2006, 47 subjects satisfied Poser's criteria for MS. The prevalence rate increased from 8.6 to 13.1/100,000 individuals between 2001 and 2006. The prevalence of conventional MS (C-MS) increased in five years although the prevalence of optic-spinal MS (OS-MS) did not increase. The mean annual incidence increased from 0.15 (1975-1989) to 0.68 (1990-2004). CONCLUSIONS The results show the highest MS prevalence in Asia; the increase in MS prevalence in Tokachi Province may be due to increased incidence after 1990.

Abstract
A 50-year-old man with type B liver cirrohosis was admitted with jaundice and ascites. He had undergone an operation for esophageal variceal rupture at another hospital. Abdominal CT scan and ultrasonography showed cystic dilatation of the extrahepatic portal vein, and Doppler ultrasonography showed it to be a portal vein aneurysm. After admission, jaundice progressed, and not only liver failure but also biliary tract obstruction was suspected as its etiology. Therefore, endoscopic retrograde cholangiography was performed, and it showed a remarkably bent extrahepatic bile duct thought to be caused by extrinsic compression. By combining the finding of endoscopic ultrasonography, we considered that the portal vein aneurysm had displaced the bile duct. We suspected that it also caused cholestasis and cholangitis.

Abstract
We describe two previously healthy children who had multiple ecchymoses several days after acute infection. In both cases, the prothrombin time (PT) and the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were prolonged. Further examinations revealed the presence of lupus anticoagulant (LA), phosphatidylserine-dependent antiprothrombin antibodies (aPS/PT), and low serum complement. In both cases, we confirmed the presence of a serum immune complex. The patients' symptoms improved spontaneously within 1 week, and all laboratory data normalized within several months. We also describe another asymptomatic case positive for LA and aPS/PT presumably associated with cytomegalovirus infection. The prevalence of transient antiphospholipid antibodies associated with viral infections in children must be much higher than we expected. We have to take it into consideration when we see abnormal coagulation results, but the occurrence of significant bleeding symptoms is rare.

Abstract
The patient was a 63-year-old woman with attacks of fever and abdominal pain, starting from the age of 53 years and recurring every month. Despite various examinations at another hospital, the etiology remained unclear. She was under symptomatic treatment, and was referred to our department for further evaluation. Although she had onset in middle age, the clinical symptoms and examination findings suggested familial Mediterranean fever, and administration of colchitine inhibited the attacks completely. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed as having the disease. We were not able to analyze the entire MEFV gene, but detected only a heterozygous M694I mutation. Amyloidosis did not develop as a complication. The disease is rare in Japan, and its onset in the fifties is extremely rare in the world.

Abstract
Collagenase was injected into the Achilles tendon of both hind legs of 10 clinically normal adult male New Zealand white rabbits. One month after induction of the injury, beta-aminoproprionitrile (BAPN) or hyaluronic acid (HA) was injected into the tendon core of the right hind leg of each rabbit, the left hind leg being left untreated. The treatment effects were evaluated by electron microscopy and analysis of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content of samples at 2 and 6 months post-treatment. At 2 months, collagen fibrils in tendons from both hind legs were relatively small in diameter, irregularly arranged, and interspersed with abundant active tenocytes as compared with those in normal tendon uninjured by collagenase. In the matrix, the amount of HA increased, but chondroitin-6-sulphate was eliminated. At 6 months, BAPN-treated tendons had small-diameter, regularly arranged collagen fibrils. HA-treated tendons, on the other hand, had large diameters, as well as regularly arranged collagen fibrils by comparison with non-treated tendon. The results suggest that HA, unlike BAPN, promoted healing.

Abstract
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) plays pivotal roles in mast cell activation as well as in B cell development. Btk mutations lead to severe impairments in proinflammatory cytokine production induced by cross-linking of high-affinity IgE receptor on mast cells. By using an in vitro assay to measure the activity that blocks the interaction between protein kinase C and the pleckstrin homology domain of Btk, terreic acid (TA) was identified and characterized in this study. This quinone epoxide specifically inhibited the enzymatic activity of Btk in mast cells and cell-free assays. TA faithfully recapitulated the phenotypic defects of btk mutant mast cells in high-affinity IgE receptor-stimulated wild-type mast cells without affecting the enzymatic activities and expressions of many other signaling molecules, including those of protein kinase C. Therefore, this study confirmed the important roles of Btk in mast cell functions and showed the usefulness of TA in probing into the functions of Btk in mast cells and other immune cell systems. Another insight obtained from this study is that the screening method used to identify TA is a useful approach to finding more efficacious Btk inhibitors.

Abstract
Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) plays crucial roles in B cell differentiation as well as mast cell activation through the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI). Defects in the btk gene lead to agammaglobulinemia (XLA) in humans and X-linked immunodeficiency (xid) in mice. Mast cells from xid and btk null mice exhibit mild defects in degranulation and severe impairments in the production of proinflammatory cytokines upon FcepsilonRI cross-linking. Recent studies demonstrated the role of Btk in a sustained increase in intracellular calcium concentrations in response to antigen receptor stimulation. Btk is also involved in the activation of stress-activated protein kinases, JNK/SAPK1/2, and thereby regulates c-Jun and other transcription factors that are important in cytokine gene activation. Regulation of the JNK/SAPK activation pathway by Btk may be related to the proapoptotic function of Btk in the programmed cell death in these hematopoietic cells.

Abstract
This paper reports a surgically treated case of Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) in which the epileptic foci and haemangiomatosis were successfully resected under monitoring of intraoperative electrocorticography. The patient was a 19-month-old female infant who was referred to our hospital because of frequent hemi-tonic-clonic convulsions that were resistant to anticonvulsant therapy. Serial MRI showed progressive atrophy in the left fronto-parieto-temporal lobe, and gyral enhancement by gadolinium corresponded to venous haemangiomatosis of SWS. Three-dimensional reconstruction of the MR images was performed using the Viewing Wand System. Conventional EEG taken before the operation showed slow activity in the left frontal lobe. Intraoperative ECoG revealed spike focus at the posterior temporal cortex to the margin of the haemangiomatosis. Lesionectomy with lobar corticectomy of the total frontal and parietal lobe and part of the temporal lobe was performed. The epileptogenic focus detected by ECoG in the posterior temporal lobe was also resected. In post-excisional ECoG, epileptogenic activities had disappeared. The patient had hemiparesis and hemihypesthesia just after the surgery, but gradually recovered from the paresis and almost has normal motor function except for right-hand clumsiness up to 1 year after Surgery. The present study demonstrated that lobar corticectomy of the haemangiomatosis-affected cortex with resection of the neighbouring epileptogenic focus is a good surgical alternative even if a haemangiomatosis of the SWS affected multilobar corti of the hemisphere.

Abstract
Cross-linking of the high affinity IgE receptor (FcepsilonRI) on mast cells induces secretion of cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-2, through transcriptional activation of cytokine genes. Previously, defects in the gene coding for Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) were shown to result in defective cytokine production in mast cells, and thereby mice carrying btk mutations exhibited diminished anaphylactic reactions in response to IgE and antigen. In this study, we provide evidence that the transcription factors involved in the IL-2 gene expression in T cells are also required for maximal activation of the IL-2 gene in FcepsilonRI-stimulated mast cells. Among them, AP-1 (Jun/Fos) and NF-AT were identified as candidate transcription factors that are regulated by Btk. Consistent with our previous data indicating that Btk regulates stress-activated protein kinases, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), c-Jun and other JNK-regulatable transcription factors are activated by FcepsilonRI cross-linking in a Btk-dependent manner. Further, FcepsilonRI-induced IL-2 gene activation is dependent on c-Jun and a component, SEK1, of its upstream activation pathway. Collectively, these data demonstrate that Btk regulates the transcription of the IL-2 gene through the JNK-regulatable transcription factors in FcepsilonRI-stimulated mast cells.

Abstract
We investigated the role of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) in FcepsilonRI-dependent activation of mouse mast cells, using xid and btk null mutant mice. Unlike B cell development, mast cell development is apparently normal in these btk mutant mice. However, mast cells derived from these mice exhibited significant abnormalities in FcepsilonRI-dependent function. xid mice primed with anti-dinitrophenyl monoclonal IgE antibody exhibited mildly diminished early-phase and severely blunted late-phase anaphylactic reactions in response to antigen challenge in vivo. Consistent with this finding, cultured mast cells derived from the bone marrow cells of xid or btk null mice exhibited mild impairments in degranulation, and more profound defects in the production of several cytokines, upon FcepsilonRI cross-linking. Moreover, the transcriptional activities of these cytokine genes were severely reduced in FcepsilonRI-stimulated btk mutant mast cells. The specificity of these effects of btk mutations was confirmed by the improvement in the ability of btk mutant mast cells to degranulate and to secrete cytokines after the retroviral transfer of wild-type btk cDNA, but not of vector or kinase-dead btk cDNA. Retroviral transfer of Emt (= Itk/Tsk), Btk's closest relative, also partially improved the ability of btk mutant mast cells to secrete mediators. Taken together, these results demonstrate an important role for Btk in the full expression of FcepsilonRI signal transduction in mast cells.

Abstract
Mast cells derived from Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk)-defective xid or btk null mice showed greater expansion in culture containing interleukin-3 (IL-3) than those from wild-type (wt) mice. Although the proliferative response to IL-3 was not significantly different between the wt and xid mast cells, xid and btk null mast cells died by apoptosis more slowly than their wt counterparts upon IL-3 deprivation. Consistent with these findings, the apoptosis-linked c-Jun N-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK) activity was compromised in these btk-mutated cells upon Fc(epsilon)RI crosslinking or upon stimulation with IL-3 or with stem cell factor. p38 activity was less severely, but significantly, affected by btk mutation, whereas extracellular signal-regulated kinases were not affected by the same mutation. Btk-mediated regulation of apoptosis and JNK activity was confirmed by reconstitution of btk null mutant mast cells with the wt btk cDNA. Furthermore, growth factor withdrawal induced the activation and sustained activity of JNK in wt mast cells, while JNK activity was consistently lower in btk-mutated mast cells. These results support the notion that Btk regulates apoptosis through the JNK activation.

Abstract
The present study unequivocally demonstrated the expression of CD28 on murine bone marrow-derived cultured mast cells and a mast cell line, MCP-5. Stimulation of surface CD28 molecules on mast cells with anti-CD28 mAbs induced tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins, including several protein tyrosine kinases and their substrates, such as Itk/Emt (Emt), Btk, Syk, c-Cbl, Shc, and Vav. CD28-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation was followed by a rebound hypophosphorylation. Interestingly, CD28 stimulation alone elicited a low level secretion of TNF-alpha. On the other hand, cross-linking of the high affinity IgE receptor (Fc epsilon RI) on mast cells induces a set of activation events, i.e., degranulation, secretion of eicosanoids, secretion of cytokines, and DNA synthesis. Concurrent stimulation of mast cells through CD28 enhanced Fc epsilon RI-induced TNF-alpha secretion in a dose-dependent manner. Together, the present data suggest a role for CD28-mediated costimulation of mast cells in the initiation and progression of allergic responses and other diseases.

Abstract
Cross-linking of surface immunoglobulins generates negative signals that cause B-cell death unless appropriate rescue signals are provided. Surface IgM is the main transducer of the negative signaling, but surface IgD and IgG may also transduce negative signaling when cross-linked intensively. In the surface IgM+, IgD+ human malignant B lymphoma cell lines B104 and DND-39, cross-linking of surface IgM by anti-IgM antibodies induced cell death. Anti-IgM antibody-induced B104 cell death was inhibited by stimulation with alpha- and beta-interferons but not stimulation with anti-CD40 antibody or IL-4, whereas anti-IgM antibody-induced DND-39 cell death was inhibited by stimulation with anti-CD40 antibody but not stimulation with alpha- and beta-interferons. Anti-IgM antibody-stimulated B104 cells had morphologic features compatible with necrosis, whereas anti-IgM antibody-stimulated DND-39 cells showed morphologic features of apoptosis. CD11a/CD54-dependent cell adhesion induced by stimulation with anti-CD40 antibody was involved in anti-CD40 antibody-mediated inhibition of anti-IgM antibody-induced DND-39 cells. In normal human mature B cells, cross-linking of surface IgM induced different signaling consequences, including DNA synthesis or cell division (positive signaling) or cell cycle arrest or death (negative signaling). In this system, too, CD40-transduced signal inhibited anti-IgM antibody-induced negative signaling, and CD11a/CD54-dependent cell adhesion played a role in the rescue process. It is suggested that quantitatively different intensities of surface IgM cross-linking induce qualitatively different signaling consequences; relatively weak cross-linking may induce DNA synthesis; moderate cross-linking may induce DNA synthesis with cell cycle arrest at the G2/M interphase; and intense cross-linking may induce apoptotic cell death. The reasons for this difference are not yet known. Further elucidation of the molecular mechanisms responsible for surface IgM-mediated negative signaling and its rescue signaling may contribute toward development of therapy for allergic disorders by artificial modulation of specific immunoglobulin production.

Abstract
Cross-linking of surface IgM by anti-IgM antibody caused activation-induced cell death of a surface IgM+, IgD+ human B lymphoma cell line, B104. The dying B104 cells did not show the morphology of apoptosis but did show that of necrosis. However, anti-IgM antibody caused apoptosis of another surface IgM+, IgD+ human B lymphoma cell line, DND-39. The influx of extracellular Ca2+ was necessary for the cell deaths of B104 and DND-39 caused by anti-IgM antibody. Their cell deaths were inhibited by cyclosporine. The anti-IgM antibody-induced cell death of DND-39, but not that of B104, was prevented by costimulation with anti-CD40 antibody. In human peripheral blood B-cells, anti-IgM antibody inhibited cell cycle transition induced by Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I at the G2/M interphase without inhibition of DNA synthesis. In this system, too, anti-CD40 antibody canceled the inhibitory signal transduced through surface IgM and increased the number of M phase cells. Blocking antibodies against the leukocyte function-associated antigen-I/intercellular adhesion molecule-1 system decreased the rescue effect of anti-CD40 antibody in both DND-39 cells and peripheral B-cells, which shows that leukocyte function-associated antigen-1/intercellular adhesion molecule-1-dependent cell adhesion plays an important role in the CD40-mediated inhibition of surface IgM-mediated negative signals.

Abstract
Cross-linking of surface immunoglobulin M (sIgM) on normal mature B cells induces different signaling consequences, including DNA synthesis (positive signaling) and cell cycle arrest and/or death by apoptosis (negative signaling). Presumably, the difference depends on the intensity of sIgM cross-linking: relatively weak cross-linking induces DNA synthesis, moderate cross-linking induces DNA synthesis with cell cycle arrest at the G2/M interphase, and intense cross-linking induces apoptosis. In vivo experiments with transgenic mice have shown that relatively weak cross-linking of sIgM by soluble antigens induces anergy in autoreactive B cells, whereas intense sIgM cross-linking by membrane-bound forms of antigens induces deletion of them. However, it is still unknown whether the different intensities of sIgM cross-linking generate qualitatively different signals responsible for DNA synthesis or cell death or whether they generate qualitatively the same but quantitatively different signals, and the quantitative difference is responsible for the induction of positive or negative signaling. The sIgM-mediated negative signaling presumably plays an important role in the induction and maintenance of B cell tolerance, and sIgD and sIgG also possess the machinery necessary for negative signaling. Negative signaling through sIgM is dependent on tyrosine kinase(s) and Ca2+ influx and is sensitive to cyclosporin A in certain types of B cells but not in all B cells. It has been suggested that there are different intracellular signaling pathways that transduce negative signaling via sIgM, and that activation-induced B cell death by sIgM cross-linking does not necessarily show DNA fragmentation and the morphology of apoptosis. On the other hand, sIgM-mediated B cell death may be inhibited in the presence of appropriate co-stimulators such as IL-4, alpha-, and beta-interferons and CD40-mediated signaling. The CD40-mediated signaling effectively inhibits sIgM-mediated B cell apoptosis in many but not all experimental systems. Although homotypic cell adhesion through the LFA-1/ICAM-1 dependent pathway was shown to be involved in certain types of CD40-mediated inhibition of sIgM-mediated negative signaling, it is still not known how the cytokines and CD40-mediated signaling inhibit sIgM-mediated B cell death. The molecular mechanisms responsible for sIgM-mediated negative signaling and for the inhibitory signaling against sIgM-mediated negative signaling need further elucidation.

Abstract
B cells have been shown to receive negative signals for their growth through crosslinking of surface IgM (sIgM), and it has been demonstrated that anti-IgM Abs induce B cell death. Proliferation of B cells in response to Ag stimulation in vivo may thus require additional signals that inhibit the sIgM-transduced negative signals. Signaling through CD40 has been proposed as a candidate for such costimulatory signals. To investigate the role of CD40-transduced signals in sIgM-mediated B cell death, we used a human B cell line (DND-39) that expresses sIgM, sIgD, and CD40. Crosslinking of sIgM, but not sIgD, by Abs induced DND-39 cell death. The dying cells showed the morphology of apoptosis and DNA fragmentation. Anti-CD40 Abs induced homotypic adhesion of DND-39 cells and rescued them from anti-IgM Ab-induced cell death. Anti-CD40 Abs inhibited anti-IgM Ab-induced cell death when added within 3 h after stimulation with anti-IgM Ab. Treatment with Abs against CD11a, CD18, or CD54 inhibited not only the homotypic adhesion but also the inhibition of anti-IgM Ab-induced apoptosis by anti-CD40 Ab. CD11a antisense decreased the surface CD11a expression, the anti-CD40 Ab-induced homotypic adhesion, and the inhibitory effect of anti-CD40 Ab on anti-IgM Ab-induced apoptosis. The data show that LFA-1/ICAM-1-dependent cell adhesion induced by signaling through CD40 plays an important role in the inhibition of anti-IgM Ab-induced apoptosis of DND-39 cells.

Abstract
Cross-linking of surface IgM and surface IgD by anti-IgM antibodies and anti-IgD antibodies, respectively, showed different effects on the growth of normal human peripheral blood B cells and the human B lymphoma cell line, B104. Only cross-linking of surface IgM transduced signals that inhibited cell division of peripheral blood B cells and B104 cells at the G2/M interphase. In B104 cells, the inhibition of cell division was followed by rapid B104 cell death. The negative signals were inhibited by cyclosporin A and FK-506 at lower concentrations than those that inhibited proliferation of the B cells. Anti-IgM antibody-induced B104 cell death was dependent on Ca2+ influx and macromolecular synthesis. B104 cells treated with anti-IgM antibodies showed neither DNA fragmentation or morphology of apoptosis but showed DNA single-strand breaks and morphology of necrosis. Nicotinamide inhibited anti-IgM antibody-induced B104 cell death and the involvement of poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribosyl)ation was suggested in the process of the B104 cell death. With regard to the intracellular mechanisms responsible for the different signals, however, no qualitative difference was detected in putative signal transducers, including tyrosine phosphorylated protein, phosphatidyl inositol turnover, Ca2+ influx, activation of protein kinase C, and messenger ribonucleic acid expression of c-fos and Egr-1 when surface IgM and surface IgD were crosslinked. Further investigations of the mechanisms responsible for the different signals transduced through surface IgM and surface IgD will provide better understanding of immunodeficiencies and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
The mechanisms involved in the inhibition of growth of a human B lymphoma cell line, B104, by anti-MHC class II antibodies (Ab) were compared with those in anti-IgM Ab-induced B104 growth inhibition. Two anti-MHC class II Ab, L227 and 2.06, inhibited the growth of B104 cells, although 2.06, but not L227, needed to be further cross-linked with a goat anti-mouse IgG Ab (GAM) to show the effect. L227 induced an increase in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) from the intracellular pool and little or no protein tyrosine phosphorylation, phosphatidyl inositol turnover, or expression of Egr-1 mRNA, whereas 2.06 plus GAM induced an increase in [Ca2+]i from both the intracellular and, in particular, the extracellular pools. The inhibition of B104 cell growth induced by anti-MHC class II Ab was Ca(2+)-independent and not inhibited by actinomycin D or cyclosporin A, and cell cycle arrest at the G2/M interphase was not observed. These features are very different from those observed in B104 cell death induced by anti-IgM Ab. Neither DNA fragmentation nor the morphology of apoptosis was observed. These findings demonstrate that cross-linking of MHC class II molecules transduced the negative signals through intracellular mechanisms different from those present in the cross-linking of surface IgM.

Abstract
Neutrophils showed a rapid and transient adhesion to immunoglobulin G (IgG)-coated plates compared with their adhesion to bovine serum albumin (BSA)-coated plates: the adhesion reached a peak after 15 min of incubation and then gradually returned to almost the basal state in 60 min. The addition of monomeric IgG or anti-Fc gamma RII monoclonal antibody (mAb) (IV.3) suppressed the increase in adhesion, whereas anti-Fc gamma RIII mAb (3G8) was hardly effective, indicating that the interaction of Fc gamma R, especially Fc gamma RII, with coated IgG is involved in the process. Adhesion was also blocked by cytochalasin B, suggesting that functional actin filament structures are crucial. Protein kinase inhibitors, erbstatin and genistein, inhibited the adhesion in a dose-dependent manner. The adhesion was inhibited by anti-CD11b (M1/70) and anti-CD18 (MHM23, TS1/18) mAbs. Moreover, neutrophils from a patient with complete leukocyte adhesion deficiency syndrome did not show increased adhesion to IgG-coated plates. The adhesion of neutrophils to fibrinogen- and BSA-coated plates was also increased when Fc gamma R was stimulated in the fluid phase with soluble aggregated IgG, which was also inhibited by anti-CD11b mAb. Stimulation of neutrophil Fc gamma R with soluble aggregated IgG enhanced the expression of CD11b in concert with the enhanced adhesion. These data collectively suggest that stimulation via Fc gamma R evokes a tyrosine kinase-dependent and actin filament-dependent intracellular signal that enhances the specific and nonspecific adhesive activity of neutrophils, presumably through the activation of CD11b/CD18.

Abstract
Recent studies of murine and human B lymphocytes have shown that crosslinking of surface IgM (sIgM) and sIgD stimulates tyrosine phosphorylation of a set of proteins involved in signal transduction. We investigated tyrosine phosphorylation of the sIg-associated proteins MB-1 and B29, and p75HS1 (HS1), and the association of HS1 with MB-1/B29 heterodimers in normal human B cells and a human B lymphoma cell line, B104. Using immunoprecipitation with anti-phosphotyrosine antibodies (Abs) followed by immunoblotting with anti-MB-1 Abs, anti-B29 Abs or anti-HS1 Abs, we demonstrated that MB-1, B29 and HS1 were tyrosine-phosphorylated after sIgM or sIgD crosslinking. Immunoprecipitation with anti-B29 Abs followed by anti-HS1 Abs immunoblotting revealed that HS1 was associated with MB-1/B29 heterodimers after sIgM or sIgD crosslinking. The results showed that HS1 may play an important role in signal transduction through sIgM and sIgD on human B cells.

Abstract
We have previously shown that a human B lymphoma cell line, B104, expressed surface IgM (sIgM) and surface IgD (sIgD), and that crosslinking of sIgM and sIgD by anti-IgM antibody (Ab) and anti-IgD Ab, respectively, induced Ca2+ influx to almost the same degree, whereas only sIgM-crosslinking caused B104 cell death. Here, we investigated the accumulation of cyclic AMP (cAMP), the hydrolysis of inositol phosphates, protein kinase C (PKC) activity and the induction of Egr-1 and c-fos mRNA expression by sIgM- and sIgD-crosslinking to examine differences in the signals mediated through sIgM and sIgD in B104 cells. Both sIgM- and sIgD-crosslinking with antibodies induced elevation of cAMP levels, phosphatidylinositol turnover, PKC activation and expression of Egr-1 and c-fos mRNA, although sIgM-crosslinking was more effective than sIgD-crosslinking, presumably due to the higher expression of sIgM than of sIgD. Egr-1 mRNA expression induced by sIgM- and sIgD-crosslinking was inhibited by H7, erbstatin and genistein, but not by HA1004. Erbstatin and genistein inhibited the sIg-crosslinking-induced Egr-1 mRNA expression in a dose-dependent manner parallel to that observed in the inhibition of sIg-crosslinking-induced protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Phorbol myristate acetate induced Egr-1 mRNA expression but forskolin and dibutyryl cyclic AMP did not. These findings suggest that the Egr-1 mRNA activating signals through sIgM and sIgD are protein tyrosine kinase- and PKC-dependent, but protein kinase A-independent. Cyclosporin A (CsA) and FK506 rescued B104 cells from death induced by anti-IgM Ab, but did not affect the expression of Egr-1 and c-fos mRNA, showing that CsA and FK506 affect signal transducers differently from or downstream to these molecules. The difference in signals transduced through sIgM and sIgD in B104 cells is discussed.

Abstract
Cross-linking of surface IgM (sIgM) or sIgD by anti-IgM Ab or anti-IgD Ab, respectively, induced DNA synthesis in peripheral blood B cells (PBL-B). Cell division, determined by the increase in the number of M phase cells, was also induced when PBL-B were stimulated with anti-IgD Ab plus IL-4 or Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I (SAC), but far less by stimulation with anti-IgM Ab plus IL-4. Anti-IgM Ab did not suppress the DNA synthesis induced by SAC or anti-IgD Ab plus IL-4, but it did suppress the cell division induced by them. Thus, sIgM cross-linking generates both positive and negative signaling to B-cell proliferation. Cyclosporin A (CSA) and FK506 suppressed DNA synthesis and cell division at relatively high concentrations. On the other hand, CSA and FK506 at lower concentrations blocked the anti-IgM Ab-generated inhibition of cell division without affecting DNA synthesis. Low concentrations of CSA did not affect the cell division induced by anti-IgD Ab plus IL-4 but did increase the cell division induced by SAC or anti-IgM Ab plus IL-4, suggesting that stimulation with SAC, as well as with anti-IgM Ab plus IL-4, generates both positive and negative signals to cell division, whereas sIgD lacks the ability to transduce negative signaling.

Abstract
Cefprozil (CFPZ, BMY-28100), a new oral cephalosporin, was evaluated for its efficacy and safety in 42 children with bacterial infections (Table 1), and the following results were obtained. 1. CFPZ was administered in 3 or 4 divided doses at daily dosages ranging from 15.3 to 60.0 mg/kg to 42 patients (19 cases of acute tonsillitis and/or laryngitis, pharyngitis, 13 cases of pneumonia, 2 cases each of suppurative cervical lymphadenitis and UTI, and 1 case each of scarlet fever, acute otitis media, suppurative parotitis, impetigo contagiosa, furuncle and acute enteritis) and the following clinical results were obtained: excellent; 24 cases, good; 14 cases, fair; 4 cases. The overall efficacy rate was 90.5% (Table 3). 2. MICs of CFPZ against 50 strains of isolated organisms are shown in Table 4. In 19 cases out of 28 cases examined, causative organisms were successfully eradicated and strain of Staphylococcus aureus was decreased in 1 case. 3. Diarrhea was observed in 2 cases (cases 8, 11). In case 8, the symptom disappeared spontaneously. Case 11 improved immediately after the administration of the drug was stopped. Among 39 children who went through laboratory tests, eosinophilia which seemed to be related to the administration of this drug was observed in 2 cases (cases 29, 38). Slight elevations of S-GOT and S-GPT were found in 1 case (case 22) (Table 7). 4. These data suggest that CFPZ is a safe and useful new antibiotic in the treatment of children with susceptible bacterial infections.

Abstract
We investigated tyrosine phosphorylation and structural properties of the IgM-associated molecules in comparison with IgD-associated molecules in a recently established human surface IgM+, IgD+ B lymphoma cell line, B104, the growth of which was irreversibly inhibited by anti-IgM mAbs but not by anti-IgD mAbs. Tyrosine kinase activity and tyrosine phosphorylated proteins were detected in anti-IgM and anti-IgD immunoprecipitates from digitonin lysates of B104 cells with the use of an in vitro kinase assay followed by a re-immunoprecipitation experiment with anti-phosphotyrosine mAbs. Tyrosine phosphorylated proteins of 74, 58-44, 41, and 39 kDa were detected in anti-IgM immunoprecipitates, whereas tyrosine phosphorylated proteins of 74, 58-44, and 39 kDa, but not 41 kDa, were detected in anti-IgD immunoprecipitates. Crosslinking of surface IgM and surface IgD stimulated rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of different sets of proteins which included tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins of the same or similar molecular weights as those detected in the anti-IgM and anti-IgD immunoprecipitates respectively. After deglycosylation by N-glycosidase, both the IgM- and IgD-associated phosphoproteins (pp58-pp39) gave rise to the same three bands of 29, 27, and 26 kDa. Proteolytic peptide mapping of these three deglycosylated proteins showed that the primary structures of the IgM- and IgD-associated molecules are identical, suggesting that the IgM- and IgD-associated phosphoproteins (pp58-pp39) are the products of the same or closely related genes. One of the products, pp41, may be associated with IgM, but not with IgD, although the same gene product may be associated with IgD in a different glycosylation pattern.

Abstract
Abstract
The growth of a human B lymphoma cell line B104, an experimental model for mature B cells, was inhibited by ionomycin but not 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA). Ionomycin inhibited B104 cells from entering into the M phase of the cell cycle without affecting DNA synthesis. The inhibition of cell division of B104 cells by ionomycin occurred within 24 h after stimulation. Because such a mode of action resembles that of anti-IgM antibodies, signals transduced by Ca2+ may be responsible for the inhibition of cell division of B104 cells by anti-IgM antibodies. Indeed, EGTA suppressed the inhibition of cell division of B104 cells caused not only by ionomycin, but also by anti-IgM antibody. Although TPA itself did not have any ability to promote the growth of B104 cells, it could cancel the inhibition of cell division of B104 cells by ionomycin and increase the proportion of B104 cells entering into the M phase of the cell cycle. Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I causes the greatest proliferation of normal human peripheral blood B cells during the period from 48 to 72 h after stimulation. When ionomycin was added to S. aureus Cowan I-stimulated peripheral blood B cells at 48 h of culture, it inhibited cell division during this period without affecting DNA synthesis. In the presence of TPA, this activity of ionomycin was suppressed, and the proportion of M-phase cells increased. These results suggest that cell division of mature B cells is regulated by the signals mediated by Ca2+ and protein kinase C in a mode quite different from that of regulation of DNA synthesis.

Abstract
Superoxide production by human neutrophils stimulated with FMLP and soluble aggregated human IgG were inhibited in a dose dependent manner by two kinds of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, erbstatin and genistein. Superoxide production stimulated with surface bound IgG, however, was scarcely inhibited by either inhibitor. Protein tyrosine phosphorylation studies with immunoblotting revealed specific tyrosine phosphorylation of a 40 Kd protein by soluble aggregated and surface bound IgG, and that of a 39 Kd protein, as well as the 40 Kd protein, by FMLP. These were all inhibited by the tyrosine kinase inhibitors. These data suggest that superoxide production induced by FMLP and soluble aggregated IgG are, at least in part, tyrosine kinase dependent, but the tyrosine kinases and/or substrates of tyrosine kinases involved may be different. In addition, tyrosine kinase independent pathways are also suggested to be involved in superoxide production by stimulation with surface bound IgG.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanisms of anti-IgM antibody-induced cell death in a recently established human surface IgM+ IgD+ B lymphoma cell line, B104, the growth of which is irreversibly inhibited by anti-IgM antibody but not by anti-IgD antibody, and compared it with the cell death of T cells via TCR/CD3 complex and with the cell death of a murine anti-IgM antibody-sensitive B lymphoma cell line, WEHI-231. The rapid time course of B104 cell death and its requirements for de novo macromolecular synthesis and Ca2+ influx suggest that anti-IgM antibody-induced B104 cell death is an active Ca(2+)-dependent programmed cell death. Moreover, cyclosporin A rescued B104 cells from this lethal signal, via surface IgM, suggesting that the intracellular mechanisms involved are quite similar to those of T cell death. DNA fragmentation, which has been reported in TCR/CD3 complex-mediated T cell death, apoptosis, was not involved in the B104 cell death process, but the possible involvement of DNA single-strand breaks was suggested. Observations under light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy indicated that the morphologic features of dying B104 cells resembled necrosis rather than apoptosis. B104 cell death was shown to be quite distinct from that of WEHI-231 in cell death kinetics, the mode of cell death, and the response to cyclosporin A. These data collectively indicate that the death of B104 cells resulting from surface IgM cross-linking represents a hitherto undefined mode of programmed cell death.

Abstract
Insolubilized anti-IgD antibody markedly increased DNA synthesis in and cell division of normal peripheral blood B cells (PBL-B) when used in combination with IL-4. Anti-IgM antibodies also induced DNA synthesis of PBL-B, but their ability to induce cell division was less than that of anti-IgD antibodies even when used in combination with IL-4. Moreover, anti-IgM antibodies inhibited cell division of PBL-B stimulated with insolubilized anti-IgD antibody plus IL-4 without affecting DNA synthesis. Anti-IgM antibodies also inhibited Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I-induced cell division of PBL-B without affecting DNA synthesis. These results indicate that cross-linkage of surface IgM (sIgM) in mature B cells generates negative signals to inhibit cell division of mature B cells. Because anti-IgD antibodies did not inhibit cell division at all, the role of sIgD in the regulation of cell division of mature B cells may be quite different from that of sIgM. IFN-alpha/beta promoted cell division of PBL-B stimulated with insolubilized anti-IgD antibody plus IL-4. They also counteracted the inhibitory effect of anti-IgM antibody on cell division of PBL-B.

Abstract
Insolubilized anti-IgD antibody markedly increased DNA synthesis in and cell division of normal peripheral blood B cells (PBL-B) when used in combination with IL-4. Anti-IgM antibodies also induced DNA synthesis of PBL-B, but their ability to induce cell division was less than that of anti-IgD antibodies even when used in combination with IL-4. Moreover, anti-IgM antibodies inhibited cell division of PBL-B stimulated with insolubilized anti-IgD antibody plus IL-4 without affecting DNA synthesis. Anti-IgM antibodies also inhibited Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I-induced cell division of PBL-B without affecting DNA synthesis. These results indicate that cross-linkage of surface IgM (sIgM) in mature B cells generates negative signals to inhibit cell division of mature B cells. Because anti-IgD antibodies did not inhibit cell division at all, the role of sIgD in the regulation of cell division of mature B cells may be quite different from that of sIgM. IFN-alpha/beta promoted cell division of PBL-B stimulated with insolubilized anti-IgD antibody plus IL-4. They also counteracted the inhibitory effect of anti-IgM antibody on cell division of PBL-B.

Abstract
Abstract
An EBNA- human B lymphoma cell line, B104, was established. B104 cells express IgD as well as IgM on their surface, which is thought to be a basic characteristic of mature B cells. The growth of B104 cells was inhibited by treatment with a panel of anti-IgM antibodies. Cell cycle analyses revealed that the transition of B104 cells from the G2/M to the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle was markedly inhibited by treatment with anti-IgM antibodies. Progression of B104 cells to the M phase of the cell cycle was found to be suppressed in the presence of anti-IgM antibodies. In contrast, both the entrance of G0/G1 phase cells into the S phase and the progression of S phase cells to the G2/M phase of the cell cycle did not seem to be inhibited significantly by treatment with anti-IgM antibodies. These results indicate that the mechanism of the inhibition of growth of B104 cells by anti-IgM antibodies is blockage of the transition from the G2 to the M phase of the cell cycle. In contrast to anti-IgM antibodies, anti-IgD antibodies could not cause growth inhibition of B104 cells at all. B cell growth factors such as IL-4 and IL-6 had no effect on the inhibition of growth of B104 cells by anti-IgM antibody. IFN-alpha and -beta, which have no B cell growth factor activity, did increase the number of cells that survived the treatment with anti-IgM antibodies. B104 is an excellent experimental model for the study of the mechanism of signal transduction through sIg as well as the functional difference between sIgM and sIgD.

Abstract
Cefodizime (THR-221, CDZM), a new parenteral cephalosporin, was evaluated for its efficacy and safety in 20 children with bacterial infections (Table 1), and the following results were obtained. 1. CDZM was administered in 3 or 4 divided doses at daily dosages ranging from 54.5 to 84.2 mg/kg administered by 30 minutes drip infusion or intravenous injection to 20 patients (7 cases of acute tonsillitis, 6 cases of pneumonia, 2 cases each of bronchitis and suppurative cervical lymphadenitis, and 1 case each of acute pharyngitis, acute enteritis and furunculosis) and the following clinical results were obtained: excellent, 7 cases; good, 11 cases; fair, 2 cases. The overall efficacy rate was 90% (Table 4). 2. MICs of CDZM against 15 strains of isolated organisms are shown in Table 2. MICs against all 7 strains of Haemophilus influenzae were less than 0.025 micrograms/ml. MIC against 1 out of 5 strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae was 0.05 micrograms/ml and those against 2 strains were 0.10 micrograms/ml and against the other 2 were 0.20 micrograms/ml. MICs against 3 strains of Staphylococcus aureus were 1.56, 25 and higher than 100 micrograms/ml, respectively. 3. No clinical adverse reaction was observed in any of the 20 patients. Eosinophilia was observed in 2 cases. A slight elevation of S-GOT was found in 1 patient (case No. 8) and moderate elevation of S-GOT and S-GPT in another (case No. 18) (Table 4). In case No. 18, the S-GOT and S-GPT activity improved after the administration of the drug was stopped.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
From September 1986 through July 1987, all fecal specimens obtained from infants and children who visited the pediatric clinic of the Shizuoka General Hospital with complaints of abdominal pain or diarrhea were examined for thermophilic Campylobacters. Bacteriological and epidemiological studies were performed on household contacts. The mothers of the patients were compared with the mothers of age-matched control subjects. Bacteriological examination of animals in 49 primary schools in Shizuoka city was performed. C. jejuni was isolated from 47 (9.4%) of the 499 feces samples, occupying first place in the bacterial etiology of acute bacterial enteritis. Infants and young children below 10 years of age comprised 81% of the total cases. Fourteen (13%) strains of C. jejuni were isolated in 9 families among 105 household contacts of the index patients. Six symptomatic contacts in two households had eaten the same suspected chicken as the respective index patients. In three families, C. jejuni was isolated from the remainder of the chicken. The serotype of these isolates was identical to that of the isolates from the index cases and the other family members. It was also noted that the same chopping boards were used for the preparation of salads after cleansing with water. In two index cases, the antibody of convalescent serum against C. jejuni isolated from the chicken, as estimated by passive hemagglutination method, ranged from 1:320 to 1:1280. These facts strongly supported the assumption that they had been infected by the chicken. The remaining persons were asymptomatic and the possibility was left that the index cases had been secondarily infected by these carrier persons.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
