Abstract
BACKGROUND Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a well-known complication of subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), often accompanied by neurogenic myocardial dysfunction. Although TC has been reported to be associated with higher morbidity and mortality among patients with aneurysmal SAH (aSAH), some patients have been reported to recover, the profiles and follow-up outcomes of these survivors remain unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS To characterize the profiles of patients with aSAH complicated by TC who experienced favourable outcomes using long-term follow-up data, a consecutive series of patients with aSAH were enrolled and TC diagnosis was based on the revised version of the Mayo Clinic criteria. Clinical outcomes were assessed at 6 months according to modified Rankin Scale scores. RESULTS Among 165 consecutive patients with aSAH, 15 cases were complicated by TC, corresponding to an occurrence rate of 9.0%. Five patients with aSAH complicated by TC (33.3%) experienced a favourable outcome, and the mean value of systolic blood pressure on arrival was significantly lower than in those who experienced an unfavourable outcome (p = 0.032). CONCLUSION According to analysis, it is possible cardiac dysfunction with decreased cerebral perfusion pressure and catecholamine toxicity transiently worsens conscious disturbance in aSAH complicated by TC. Therefore, it is important to carefully screen patients with aSAH to identify those complicated by TC, and for close collaboration of the multidisciplinary team to design appropriate treatment strategies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of central nervous system (CNS) tumors uses an integrated approach involving histopathology and molecular profiling. Because majority of adult malignant brain tumors are gliomas and primary CNS lymphomas (PCNSL), rapid differentiation of these diseases is required for therapeutic decisions. In addition, diffuse gliomas require molecular information on single-nucleotide variants (SNV), such as IDH1/2. Here, we report an intraoperative integrated diagnostic (i-ID) system to classify CNS malignant tumors, which updates legacy frozen-section (FS) diagnosis through incorporation of a qPCR-based genotyping assay. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN FS evaluation, including GFAP and CD20 rapid IHC, was performed on adult malignant CNS tumors. PCNSL was diagnosed through positive CD20 and negative GFAP immunostaining. For suspected glioma, genotyping for IDH1/2, TERT SNV, and CDKN2A copy-number alteration was routinely performed, whereas H3F3A and BRAF SNV were assessed for selected cases. i-ID was determined on the basis of the 2021 WHO classification and compared with the permanent integrated diagnosis (p-ID) to assess its reliability. RESULTS After retrospectively analyzing 153 cases, 101 cases were prospectively examined using the i-ID system. Assessment of IDH1/2, TERT, H3F3AK27M, BRAFV600E, and CDKN2A alterations with i-ID and permanent genomic analysis was concordant in 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, and 96.4%, respectively. Combination with FS and intraoperative genotyping assay improved diagnostic accuracy in gliomas. Overall, i-ID matched with p-ID in 80/82 (97.6%) patients with glioma and 18/19 (94.7%) with PCNSL. CONCLUSIONS The i-ID system provides reliable integrated diagnosis of adult malignant CNS tumors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) is a common central nervous system condition. Recent reports indicate that cSDH affects long-term prognosis; however, its definitive risk factors remain unknown. An antihypertensive drug, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi), can affect vascular permeability and cell proliferation processes, which may suppress the recurrence of cSDH. However, several studies have reported negative results to this effect. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate antihypertensive drugs, including RAASi, as risk factors for recurrent cSDH. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 203 consecutive cases of surgically treated cSDH were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical and radiological parameters were compared between the groups with and without cSDH recurrence to identify risk factors. RESULTS Of the included cases, 68 (33.5%) used RAASi and 37 (18.2%) developed recurrence within 60 days of surgery. In the multiple logistic regression analysis adjusted by composite risk score, the odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of RAASi, calcium channel blockers, diuretics, β and α blockers, for the recurrent risk of cSDH after surgery were 2.49 (1.16, 5.42), 1.79 (0.84, 3.82), 1.83 (0.62, 4.87), 0.90 (0.28, 2.44), and 0.96 (0.21, 3.20), respectively. The Cox proportional hazard model also demonstrated that RAASi-use was an independent risk factor for cSDH recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Present series suggests RAASi-use as a risk factor for cSDH recurrence, although the role of RAASi-use in cSDH remains debatable. Further studies for deeper understanding of the microenvironment of hematoma and the surroundings are preferable. (235 words).

Abstract
Objective To identify factors associated with the outcome and prognosis of coil embolization for poor-grade aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). Methods We retrospectively reviewed 118 patients with World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade IV or V subarachnoid hemorrhage at our institute between January 2010 and December 2020. Outcomes were assessed using modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at discharge and at six months after aSAH onset. In addition, patient background, aneurysm characteristics, and treatment outcome were compared between patients showing favorable (mRS scores: 0-2) and unfavorable (mRS scores: 3-6) outcomes at six months. Factors for change of mRS during follow-up were explored, and cut off values were calculated for age using the receiver operating characteristic analysis. Results Endovascular treatment was performed in 51 of the 118 enrolled patients. Data were analyzed for 43 of these patients who underwent coil embolization of ruptured aneurysms and had complete datasets. The mean age was 61.7 years and 24 (55.8%) patients had WFNS grade V aSAH. Coil embolization-related complications were observed in three patients. There were no treatment-related deaths; however, eight patients (18.6%) died at three months. Multivariate analysis showed that the maximum diameter of the aneurysm (p=0.041) and the postoperative dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) (p=0.040) were associated with unfavorable and favorable outcomes, respectively. Older age (p=0.033) was independently associated with mRS score deterioration following discharge. Age 72 years and older was the cut off value for mRS deterioration. Conclusion Aneurysm size and postoperative DAPT might be associated with outcomes at 6 months. Moreover, we identified older age as an independent factor that influences mRS deterioration following discharge; thus, especially in cases of elderly patients over 72 years of age, it is highly likely that long-term care to prevent disuse and regular follow-up on imaging will be necessary.

Abstract
Background: Endodermal cyst (EC) is a rare congenital cyst of endodermal origin, but the pathogenesis of this entity remains uncertain. Supratentorial EC is particularly uncommon, but some cases have been reported. Here, we report a case of supratentorial EC that developed at the frontal base which indicates posttraumatic development rather than a congenital origin. Case Description: A 65-year-old man who had a history of orbital bone fracture without rhinorrhea sustained in a traffic accident presented with gradually enlarging frontal-base cystic lesions. Multiple cystic lesions were removed via left frontal craniotomy. The cysts showed no communication with the frontal sinus. Histological examination identified EC. Postoperative course was uneventful and no recurrences have been identified as of 2 years later. Conclusions: According to reported cases, unlike ECs in other intracranial locations, frontal base ECs tend to present at advanced ages. The present case also presented with EC enlargement at an advanced age and two lesions located at the bone hiatus in the frontal base that were presumably caused by trauma. It is possible that sinus communication was repaired as the bone fracture was remodeled, and the remnant sinus epithelial tissues developed into ECs over time. This situation makes it reasonable to presume a posttraumatic rather than a congenital origin. In conclusion, as for frontal base ECs, contrary to the traditional theory, the developmental mechanisms may not necessarily be congenital.

Abstract
Primary meningeal melanocytoma is a rare benign tumor in the central nervous system (CNS), comprising less than 0.1% of all intracranial tumors. A 44-year-old man presented with occipital headache, nausea, and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a well-defined intradural extramedullary mass lesion at the craniovertebral junction (CVJ). Gross total removal was achieved, and the patient improved symptomatically. The pathologic findings were consistent with meningeal melanocytoma. No tumor recurrence was seen on follow-up MRI two years after surgery. Cases of primary meningeal melanocytoma located at the CVJ are rare. The preoperative differential diagnosis of meningeal melanocytoma from meningioma is sometimes difficult because of their similar appearance on CT and MRI. Complete surgical removal is curative for most cases. We present a case of gross total removal of a meningeal melanocytoma located in the CVJ with references to the literature.

Abstract
PURPOSE Through the progression of devices, the adaptation of carotid artery stenting (CAS) has been expanded according to the non-inferiority of CAS for carotid endarterectomy reported by several randomized control trials. To maintain favorable outcomes, identifying prognostic factors is essential for optimizing treatment indications and periprocedural management. This study focused on the prognostic factors of CAS using real-world data. METHODS This retrospective multicenter cohort study aimed to identify the prognostic factors after CAS using real-world data from the stroke registry of Yokohama (STrOke Registry of Yokohama; STORY) from January 1, 2018 to May 31, 2021. Patient characteristics, procedural factors, complications, and prognoses were collected using medical records. RESULTS Data from 107 patients were enrolled in this study after excluding those with insufficient data (2 cases). The mean participant age was 74.9±8.2 years, and 66 patients (61.7%) were symptomatic. Symptomatic lesions were a significant prognostic factor in the overall analysis (p=0.003). A multivariate analysis showed that the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (odds ratio: 1.11, p=0.003) and staged CAS (odds ratio: 38.9, p=0.04) were independent prognostic factors. The odds ratio and relative risk of mRS deterioration when eGFR was under 49 mL/min/1.73 m2 compared with when eGFR was above 49 mL/min/1.73 m2 were 5.2 and 3.74, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this real-world multicenter study, we established independent prognostic factors for CAS using high totality data. For patients with symptomatic lesions and low eGFR (≤49 mL/min/1.73 m2), indication for treatment should be considered strictly.

Abstract
We experienced a case of an unruptured cerebral aneurysm arising from a duplicate origin of the middle cerebral artery(MCA). Initially, we diagnosed the condition as an unruptured aneurysm arising from the internal carotid artery on three-dimensional computed tomography;neck clipping was attempted. However, an unidentified vessel was found around the aneurysmal neck, which could not be easily separated from the aneurysm, making neck clipping difficult. Thus, we only completed coating of the aneurysm without neck clipping. Postoperatively, cerebral angiography showed that the unidentified vessel originated from the internal carotid artery and fused with the MCA horizontal segment. We recognized that the identified vessel was a duplicate origin of the MCA. Few reports on the treatment of an aneurysm arising from a duplicate origin of the MCA are available;there has been no discussion on whether this vessel can be occluded. We assumed that occlusion of the proximal end of the duplicate origin of the MCA together with the aneurysm was unlikely to cause ischemia as the duplicate origin of the MCA fuse with MCA. Coil embolization was performed for the aneurysm, and the duplicate origin was unexpectedly preserved immediately after coil embolization. However, it was not enhanced on cerebral angiography performed after several months, and no cerebral infarction was noted on magnetic resonance imaging. If preservation of the duplicate origin of the MCA is difficult, occlusion of the aneurysm together with the proximal end of the duplicate origin of the MCA can be considered as a surgical strategy.

Abstract
Intracranial chondroma is a rare benign tumor comprising only 0.2% of all intracranial tumors. A 27-year-old woman presented with visual dysfunction and headache. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a suprasellar mass lesion with a calcified component. Gross total removal was achieved via a basal interhemispheric approach. Postoperatively, visual function improved to the normal range, and no recurrence was evident 4 years later. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of benign chondroma. Preoperative differentiation of chondromas from chordomas is clinically important, because of the different treatment and prognostic implications. The only effective treatment for chondroma is total surgical removal. We present a case of gross total resection of a suprasellar chondroma with reference to the literature.

Abstract
Preoperative embolization for intracranial meningioma has remained controversial for several decades. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed our experience of embolization using particulate embolic material and coil to clarify the therapeutic efficacy, safety, and risk of complication. Methods We reviewed 69 patients who underwent embolization with particulate embolic material followed by surgical resection. An additional 6 procedures were included for patients in whom recurrence was treated, for a total of 75 procedures of preoperative embolization. We analyzed the following clinical data: age, sex, tumor size pathology, complications related to embolization, and surgeon's opinion on the intraoperative ease of debulking and blood transfusion. Embolization was performed mainly from the branches of the external carotid artery. Results No allogenic blood transfusions were needed for any patients. The surgeon had the opinion that whitening and softening of the tumor allowed for easy debulking during decompression of the tumor in most of the patients. Hemorrhagic complications were seen in two patients after embolization. Emergency tumor removal was performed in both of those patients, and they were recovered well after surgery. Transient cranial nerve palsy was seen in one patient. One ischemic complication and one allergic complication occurred. Conclusion Preoperative embolization could give us an advantage in surgery for meningioma. The procedure reduces intraoperative blood loss and operating time by softening the tumor consistency. However, we must pay attention to the possibility of embolic complications and keep the preparation of emergency craniotomy, particularly in patients with large meningiomas.

Abstract
Intraorbital schwannoma is a rare tumor which accounts for about 1-2% of all neoplasms of the orbit. Orbital schwannomas most commonly arise from the sensory branches of the trigeminal nerve. On the other hand, intraorbital abducens nerve schwannomas are extremely rare, with a search of the English literature identifying only four cases of intraorbital abducens nerve schwannoma. This is the 5th reported case of an orbital schwannoma arising from the terminal branch of the abducens nerve to the lateral rectus muscle. We report a case of an intraorbital abducens nerve schwannoma in a 51-year-old man with no signs of neurofibromatosis. The tumor was totally excised with functional preservation of the nerve by a zygomatic approach with lateral orbitotomy. With knowledge of these anatomic features, total removal of the tumor with preservation of the abducens nerve function might be possible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We evaluated the probability of vertebrobasilar system malperfusion due to occlusion of the left subclavian artery as assessed by preoperative magnetic resonance angiography in patients scheduled to undergo thoracic aortic surgery. METHODS (Study 1) From January 2000 through March 2009, we studied variations of vertebral arteries in 301 patients scheduled to undergo thoracic aortic surgery. We classified vertebral artery variations into 3 categories according to the findings on preoperative magnetic resonance angiography: connection type, interrupted right vertebral artery, and interrupted left vertebral artery. (Study 2) From February 2007 through January 2010, we evaluated the cerebral complication in 41 patients who had occlusion of the left subclavian artery with a stent graft. RESULTS (Study 1) On preoperative magnetic resonance angiography, the vertebral artery was classified as connection type in 247 patients, interrupted right vertebral artery in 34, and interrupted left vertebral artery in 20. (Study 2) We performed subclavian obstruction test, left-right subclavian artery bypass, or left subclavian artery-left common carotid artery bypass to the 3 patients with interrupted right vertebral artery, respectively. Forty patients (98%) out of 41 patients had no complication after occlusion of the left subclavian artery. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative magnetic resonance angiography is useful for detection of the patients with high risk of vertebrobasilar system malperfusion due to occlusion of the left subclavian artery.

Abstract
We have used a combination of neutron resonant spin-echo and triple-axis spectroscopies to determine the energy, fine structure, and linewidth of the magnon resonance in the model spin-1/2 ladder antiferromagnet IPA-CuCl(3) at temperatures T≪Δ(0)/k(B), where Δ(0) is the spin gap at T=0. In this low-temperature regime we find that the results deviate substantially from the predictions of the nonlinear sigma model proposed as a description of magnon excitations in one-dimensional quantum magnets and attribute these deviations to real-space and spin-space anisotropies in the spin Hamiltonian as well as scattering of magnon excitations from a dilute density of impurities. These effects are generic to experimental realizations of one-dimensional quantum magnets.

Abstract
The mixtures of two spin-gap compounds IPA-Cu(ClxBr1-x)3 are studied by electron paramagnetic resonance and magnetization processes [M(H)]. From electron paramagnetic resonance spectra, the symmetry of the spin-gap state breaks down, even for x=0.99. From M(H) curves for x=0.95 and 0.92, however, spin gaps survive below mu0Hc1=10+/-1 T, and the M(H) slopes bend at mu0Hc3=40+/-1 T, below the saturation field Hc2. Such a curvature suggests an exotic phase transition: Bose-Einstein condensation of spin triplets occurs at Hc1 <H <Hc3 and a Bose-glass state may be realized at Hc3 <H <Hc2, successively. As a result, the possibility of fine-tuning the density of bosons by H provides a tool for determining the role of the interactions.

Abstract
Temperature dependencies of gap energies and magnon lifetimes are measured in the quasi-one-dimensional S=1/2 gapped quantum magnets (CH3)(2)CHNH(3)CuCL(3) (IPA-CuCl(3), where IPA denotes isopropyl ammonium) and Cu(2)Cl(4).D(8)C(4)SO(2) (Sul-Cu(2)Cl(4)) using inelastic neutron scattering. The results are compared to those found in literature for S=1 Haldane spin chain materials and to theoretical calculations for the O(3)- and O(N)- quantum nonlinear sigma-models. It is found that when the T=0 energy gap Delta is used as the temperature scale, all experimental and theoretical curves are identical to within system-dependent but temperature-independent scaling factors of the order of unity. This quasi-universality extends over a surprising broad T range, at least up to kappaT approximately 1.5 Delta.

Abstract
The weakly coupled quasi-one-dimensional spin ladder compound (CH3)2CHNH3CuCl3 is studied by neutron scattering in magnetic fields exceeding the critical field of Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons. Commensurate long-range order and the associated Goldstone mode are detected and found to be similar to those in reference to spin-dimer materials. However, for the upper two massive magnon branches, the observed behavior is totally different, culminating in a drastic collapse of excitation bandwidth beyond the transition point.

Abstract
Magnetic excitations in the quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet IPA-CuCl3 are studied by cold neutron inelastic scattering. Strongly dispersive gap excitations are observed. Contrary to previously proposed models, the system is best described as an asymmetric quantum spin ladder. The observed spectrum is interpreted in terms of composite Haldane spin chains. The key difference from actual S=1 chains is a sharp cutoff of the single-magnon spectrum at a certain critical wave vector.

Abstract
A patient with Takayasu arteritis with multiple supra-aortic lesions underwent successful treatment with two-staged stent implantation. Stenotic bilateral common carotid, innominate, and left subclavian arteries were dilated, and no restenosis was observed during the follow-up period of 2 years despite recurrent inflammation. Stenting for supra-aortic vessels in cases of Takayasu arteritis has rarely been reported, and to our knowledge, this is the first report of multiple stent placement for all the supra-aortic branches involved.

Abstract
A case of a 52-year-old male presented with an unusual penetrating brain injury with nasal entry. At admission he had erythema of periorbital soft tissue in the left eye and epistaxis. His neurological condition was lethargic (Glasgow Coma Scale of 13) with nonfluent aphasia. Computed tomography scan revealed intracranial contusion hematoma in the left frontal lobe and fracture of the left frontal base, which were treated surgically. At the 6-month follow-up he still showed nonfluent aphasia. Disturbances, mostly cognitive, were noted on his psychological tests. A survey of the literature reveals a few cases of this nature in penetrating brain injury with nasal entry. A penetrating brain injury with nasal entry which causes nonfluent aphasia is discussing.

Abstract
Hepatocytes form the hepatic acinus as the unit of microcirculation. Following the bloodstream, at least 2 different zones can be discerned: the periportal and perivenous zones. Two types of hepatocytes, periportal hepatocytes (PPHs) and perivenous hepatocytes (PVHs), have been thought to be functionally heterogeneous, with PPHs being predominantly gluconeogenic and PVHs being glycolytic. We therefore investigated the region-specific functional effects of insulin on glycogen synthesis, glycolysis, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis in isolated PPHs and PVHs prepared by using the digitonin-collagenase method. Glycogen synthesis from 5 to 20 mmol/L glucose did not differ between the PPHs and PVHs of fed rats during 60 minutes of incubation. Lactate release induced by 5 to 20 mmol/L glucose was 3 times greater from PVHs than from PPHs (P <.01). The addition of insulin did not accelerate either glycogen synthesis or lactate release during 60 minutes of incubation. Insulin did not inhibit glucose release from gluconeogenic substrates with or without 0.2 nmol/L glucagon in either the PPHs or the PVHs of fasting rats. Insulin antagonized the 0.1 nmol/L glucagon-induced increase in glucose release from the PVHs of fed rats during 30 minutes of incubation (to 56.1% +/- 7.2%, P <.01) but not that from the PPHs (to 81.8% +/- 7.3%, P =.10). Thus the antagonizing effect was greater in PVHs than in PPHs (P <.01). Insulin binding did not differ between the PPHs and PVHs of fed rats. It was confirmed that PVHs are actually glycolytic. An acute metabolic effect of insulin was observed only in antagonizing glucagon-induced glycogenolysis in PVHs specifically. The specific effect of insulin on PVHs might depend on the differences in intracellular characteristics between PPHs and PVHs rather than hormone binding.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite a large number of studies, no association of the Trp64Arg polymorphism of the beta(3)-adrenergic receptor gene with obesity and type 2 diabetes has yet to be clearly elucidated. We examined the associations in a large population-based sample. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 1,685 subjects (935 women and 750 men, aged 58.7 +/- 12.4 years) from a cohort population (n = 3,706) of the Funagata Diabetes Study were divided into three groups according to genotypes: Trp/Trp (n = 1,155), Trp/Arg (n = 486), and Arg/Arg (n = 44). Glucose tolerance was diagnosed according to the 1985 World Health Organization criteria. Subjects who had a BMI > or =30 kg/m(2) were considered obese. Associations with the traits related to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were also examined. The chi(2) test and analysis of variance were used for the association studies and to assess the differences in the traits' values, respectively. RESULTS More subjects with genotype Arg/Arg were obese and had diabetes (13.6% for each) than those with genotype Trp/Trp (3.29%, P < 0.001; and 4.16%, P = 0.007, respectively) or genotype Trp/Arg (2.06%, P < 0.001; and 5.97%, P = 0.051, respectively). No significant differences in the frequencies of occurrence of these conditions were observed between genotypes Trp/Arg and Trp/Trp. Traits related to obesity, such as percent body fat (28.82 +/- 7.95 vs. 25.93 +/- 7.21, P = 0.038) and BMI (25.07 +/- 3.84 vs. 23.63 +/- 3.18, P = 0.018), were higher in the genotype Arg/Arg than in the genotype Trp/Trp groups. CONCLUSIONS Genotype Arg/Arg, but not Trp/Arg, of the beta(3)-adrenergic receptor was associated with both obesity and type 2 diabetes in a large Japanese sample.

Abstract
Since many isoforms of adenylyl cyclase and adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase have been cloned, it is likely that receptors of each hormone have a specific combination of these isoforms. Types I, III and VIII adenylyl cyclases are reported to be stimulated by Ca(2+)-calmodulin, type I phosphodiesterase by Ca(2+)-calmodulin, but types IV and VII (cAMP-specific) phosphodiesterases by Co2+. In the present study, we examined different effects of Ca2+ and Co2+ on hormone-induced cAMP response in the isolated perfused rat liver.The removal of Ca2+ from the perfusion medium (0 mM CaCl(2 ) + 0.5 mM EGTA) did not affect glucagon (0.1 nM)-responsive cAMP but reduced secretin (1 nM)-, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP, 1-10 nM)- and forskolin (1 microM)-responsive cAMP considerably. The addition of 1 mM CoCl2 reduced glucagon- and secretin-responsive cAMP considerably, forskolin-responsive cAMP partly, did not affect 1 nM VIP-responsive cAMP, but enhanced 10 nM VIP-responsive cAMP. Forskolin- and VIP-responsive cAMP was greater in the combination (0 mM CaCl(2) + 0.5 mM EGTA + 3 mM CoCl2) than in the Ca(2+)-free perfusion alone. These results suggest that secretin, VIP1 and VIP2 receptors are linked to Ca(2+)-calmodulin-sensitive adenylyl cyclase; glucagon receptor to Ca(2+)-calmodulin-insensitive adenylyl cyclase; VIP1 receptor to Ca(2+)-calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterase; glucagon, secretin and VIP2 receptors to cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase, respectively, in the rat liver.

Abstract
SUMMARY The purpose of this study was to evaluate asymptomatic embolisms during cerebral endovascular surgery for cerebrovascular diseases with diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) which allowed sensitive and early detection of cerebral ischemic lesions. 71 patients who underwent a total of 74 cerebral endovascular procedures were subjected to DWI screening study. MR imaging was performed on a 1.5T system by using single-shot SE echo-planar imaging (EPI) with b value of 1100 seconds per mm(2) in pre- and post-treatment periods (between day 2 and 5 after procedures). In 38 (51.3%) of 74 procedures, new high intensity lesions, as recent infarctions related to procedures, were detected on post-procedural DWI. In 18 Of the patients (47.4%), symptomatic infarctions occurred and resulted in TIAs (n = 4), RINDs (n = 8), minor strokes (n = 6) and no major strokes and no death. 20 (52.6%) of the recent infarctions detected by DWI were asymptomatic lesions.Most of the asymptomatic ischemic lesions were likely to be distributed in watershed border areas. On the other hand, symptomatic lesions tended to be distributed in cortical and/or perforator regions and to be multiple. Thus, DWI is a useful method that can detect neurologically silent and asymptomatic ischemic lesions. It can be used to help to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neurovascular intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNETs) are very rare. Malignant tumors of the cerebrum in young individuals are composed predominantly of undifferentiated cells, with moderate differentiation along either neuronal or glial lines. To our knowledge, cerebral PNETs in adults are extraordinarily rare and have been reported in only 11 cases, with little cytologic documentation in the literature. The cytopathologic, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural features of cerebral PNET arising in an adult male are presented. CASE A cystic tumor, on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, arose from the left frontal lobe in a 39-year-old man and contained histopathologic features of PNET. Specimens obtained from surgery revealed the presence of an undifferentiated type of PNET with moderate neuronal and glial differentiation and mild characteristic findings of peripheral PNET. The cytologic and histologic specimens showed evidence of a scattered pattern of blastic and undifferentiated tumor cells and a neural arrangement with Homer-Wright-like rosettes. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were glial fibrillary acidic protein, neuron-specific enolase, synaptophysin and CD-99 positive and epithelial membrane antigen, S-100 protein and vimentin negative. Ultrastructurally, neither microtubular structures nor intermediate filaments, except neurosecretory granules, were found in the tumor cells. CONCLUSION Both immunohistochemical and ultrastructural studies on cytologic and histologic slides were important for the diagnosis of PNET because of establishing not only undifferentiated tumor cells but also neural and glial differentiation.

Abstract
The Wistar fatty (WF) rat is a model of obese Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). These rats were bred by crossing Zucker fatty (ZF) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. A homo-allelic leptin receptor gene mutation has been reported in ZF rats. We report here how these genetic factors contribute to plasma insulin regulation. The fasting plasma insulin levels were higher in WKY and Wistar lean (WL) rats than in Zucker lean (ZL) rats (p<0.05). The levels in WF and ZF rats were higher than in their respective lean littermates, WL and ZL rats (p<0.05). After intragastric glucose load, the plasma insulin increase was reduced upon pretreatment by intracerebroventricular (i. c.v.) methylatropine (an antagonist of the cholinergic receptor) injection in WL rats (p<0.05) but not in WF rats. Plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) response to intragastric glucose load was not affected by methylatropine. After selective hepatic-vagotomy, plasma insulin levels increased in wild-type ZL rats (p<0.05). This increase was not observed in heterozygote ZL rats. Surprisingly, this response of plasma insulin was not shown in wild-type WL and WKY rats. ZF and WF rats did show a prominent decrease in insulin response (p<0.05). These results indicate that the genetic factor in ZF rats is associated with impaired vagal nerve-mediated control of insulin secretion. The genetic factor in WKY rats may diminish sensitivity to the vagal information of insulin release and contribute to insulin resistance. Therefore, we conclude that the presence of both genetic factors in a homo-allelic state is important to the development of DM in WF rats.

Abstract
Changes of serum ceruloplasmin (Cp) levels have been reported in many conditions including diabetes mellitus (DM), in which the serum Cp levels were increased. In this study, we have examined the influence of aging on serum Cp levels in normal individuals and in individuals with DM. Serum Cp levels were measured in 85 outpatients with type 2 diabetes (type 2 DM group) as well as in 71 healthy individuals (control group). All patients recruited for this study were negative for the glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibody. The subjects were sub-grouped based on their ages (<55 and 55 < or =). The serum Cp levels in the control group increased significantly with aging (r=0.325, p<0.0055), while levels in the type 2 DM group did not (r=0.091, p=0.4079). The levels in the type 2 DM group (<55) were significantly higher than those in the control group (<55) (p = 0.0029), while the Cp levels in the type 2 DM group (55 < or =) were not different from those in the control group (55 < or =) (p=0.4187). An age-related increase of serum Cp levels was observed in normal individuals, but this change was not observed in type 2 DM patients since serum Cp levels in type 2 DM patients of all ages were similar to the levels in normal elderly individuals.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and impaired sucrose tolerance (IGT) among people aged 40 and over in a rural area, Funagata, Japan, by using a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and to compare the prevalence to that obtained from a more urban area, Hisayama, Japan. METHODS AND RESULTS Total eligible subjects for the Funagata study were 3526. Among them, 140 were confirmed to have diabetes judged by the 1985 WHO criteria. A 75-g OGTT was conducted, excluding the 140 known cases of diabetes. The 1985 WHO criteria were used to classify the current diabetes status of participants. The overall participation rate was 74.4%. The prevalence of diabetes (known and newly diagnosed cases combined) was 9.1% for men and 10.8% for women. The prevalence of IGT was 12. 0% for men and 16.5% for women. Age-adjusted prevalence (using 1990 Japanese census) of diabetes and IGT in men in Hisayama is two times higher than in Funagata (12.8% vs. 6.8% for diabetes, 19.5% vs. 10. 3% for IGT). Age-adjusted prevalence of IGT in women in Hisayama is significantly higher than in Funagata. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of type 2 diabetes among people aged 40 and over is approximately 10% even in a rural area of Japan. Prevalence of diabetes and IGT is much higher in an urban area than in a rural area in Japan.

Abstract
We determined the in vivo effects of thiazolidinediones on insulin resistance induced by dexamethasone (Dx), as well as that observed in Wistar fatty (WF) rats, using glucose clamp technique to measure glucose uptake (Gu) and percent suppression of hepatic glucose output (HGOsup) to evaluate insulin resistance. Male Wistar rats were treated with Dx (0.5 mg/kg/day) for 7 days. Pioglitazone (P) or troglitazone (T) was coadministered orally for the same period at 10 and 200 mg/kg/day, respectively. Two, 5 and 20 mU/kg/min. of insulin infusion rates (IIR) were used. The Gu levels at clamp steady-state at IIR20 in rats treated with Dx (16.4 +/- 4.7 mg/kg/min.) were significantly lower than those in control rats (36.3 +/- 2.4). The Gu levels at the same IIR in rats coadminstered with P (19.6 +/- 3.2) and T (21.3 +/- 6.3) were slightly but significantly higher than that in rat treated with Dx. HGOsup at IIR5 in control rats (97.5 +/- 6.2%) was decreased by Dx treatment (52.1+/- 31.3). This decrease was slightly but significantly ameliorated by addition of T (78.3 +/- 12.2). The Gu levels at IIR20 in WF rats (6.6 +/- 0.9) were decreased significantly from that in lean littermates of WF (WL) rats (25.8 +/- 2.1). This attenuation of Gu increase was completely ameliorated with administration of P (20.9+/-2.8) or T (22.2+/-3.9). The HGOsup at IIR20 in WF rats (17.4 +/- 11.2) was significantly decreased from that in WL rats. Administration of P or T ameliorated this decrease completely. These results indicate that Dx induces insulin resistance by mechanisms different from those in WF rat, hence thiazolidinedione administration can be only partially useful to treat insulin resistance induced by Dx.

Abstract
Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is an autosomal-dominant disease caused by a deficiency of porphobilinogen (PBG) deaminase. Patients with AIP present with neurological syndromes such as autonomic neuropathy, peripheral axonal neuropathy or central nervous system dysfunction. We report serial MRI of a patient with AIP who had cortical and subcortical cerebral changes. A 29-year-old woman with a 6-month history of AIP had an attack with severe hyponatraemia and generalised convulsions, treated with haem arginate and supportive therapy. MRI showed central pontine and extrapontine myelinolysis and cortical laminar necrosis. These are not common in AIP, but are likely to have been caused by rapid correction of hyponatraemia and by vasospasm, which could be induced by AIP.

Abstract
It is difficult to treat ruptured aneurysms with symptomatic vasospasm. Although direct surgery for such cases is associated with poor outcomes, conservative therapy has the risk of both rerupture and infarction. In two cases of ruptured aneurysms with symptomatic vasospasm, we performed aneurysmal coil embolization with Guglielmi electrodetatchable coils (GDC). At the same time we performed percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with papaverine infusion. In both cases, rerupture did not occur and PTA was effective angiographically. A good outcome was achieved in case 1. However, broad cerebral infarction occurred in case 2, in which the patient had shown severe symptomatic vasospasm on admission. In advanced cases, such as in case 2, the outcome is poor. The aneurysm may not be able to be approached before PTA because of severe vasospasm. In such cases, PTA must be performed carefully to avoid aneurysmal rerupture. Intraarterial papaverine infusion is safer than PTA for severe spasm in distal vessels. However the efficacy of papaverine is known to be transient in many cases. It is often difficult to determine the exact relationship between branches and the aneurysm in the presence of vasospasm. In such cases, we recommend that the rupture point be packed and that the aneurysmal neck remain unpacked. After vasospasm is cured and good general condition has been recovered, direct surgery can be performed. In summary, endovascular surgery is an effective option for treatment of ruptured aneurysm with symptomatic vasospasm.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether the new category of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) recently proposed by the Expert Committee of the American Diabetes Association is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Death certificates and residence transfer documents from the cohort population consisting of participants of the diabetes prevalence study in Funagata, Yamagata prefecture, Japan, 1990-1992, were analyzed up through the end of 1996. First, the cohort population was classified into three groups: normal glucose tolerance (NGT) (n = 2,016), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (n = 382), and diabetic (n = 253). Then the same population was reclassified into normal fasting glucose (NFG), IFG, and diabetic. The cumulative survival rates among the groups were compared using the classical life-table method, and age-adjusted analyses, the person-year method, and Cox's proportional hazard model were adopted. RESULTS At the end of seven observed years, the cumulative survival rates from cardiovascular disease of IGT and diabetes were 0.962 and 0.954, respectively, both significantly lower than that of NGT (0.988). The Cox's proportional hazard model analysis showed that the hazard ratio of IGT to NGT on death from cardiovascular disease was 2.219 (95% CI 1.076-4.577). However, the cumulative survival rate of IFG from cardiovascular disease was 0.977, not significantly lower than that of NFG (0.985). The Cox's hazard ratio of IFG to NFG on death from cardiovascular disease was 1.136 (0.345-3.734), which was not significant either. CONCLUSIONS IGT was a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but IFG was not.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Capture-recapture methods have been widely employed in the study of wildlife populations and have recently been applied to count various human diseases and conditions. We have estimated the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus by adjusting for the degree of undercount using a two-sample model of capture-recapture among men and women aged 50-69 in Oguni town, Japan. METHODS Oguni town diabetes registry data were utilized as the first source. In the registry, only those who had experienced fasting plasma glucose of > or = 7.8 mmol/l (140 mg/dl) or 2 h plasma glucose after a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) of > or = 11.1 mmol/l (200 mg/dl) were counted as having diabetes. A second source was a sample study selecting 200 men and 200 women aged 50-69 randomly, which was conducted in August 1991. A 75 g OGTT was done in the morning. The 1985 World Health Organization criteria were used to classify the diabetes status of the participants. A two-sample model of capture-recapture methods was employed to estimate the total number of cases of diabetes and determine the ascertainment rates of the registry. RESULTS The prevalence estimated by the diabetes registry was 7.1%. The prevalence from the sample study was 8.8% with a participation rate of 74%. Estimated prevalence employing the capture-recapture method was 13.1%. The ascertainment rate of the registry was 53.8%. CONCLUSIONS Little is known about the prevalence of type 2 diabetes in local areas in Japan, the US and the world. Capture-recapture methods are likely to provide a means to accurately assess the prevalence of diabetes.

Abstract
It has been established, mainly by histochemical and immunohistochemical studies, that liver cells are functionally heterogeneous, with periportal hepatocytes (PPHs) being predominantly gluconeogenic and perivenous hepatocytes (PVHs) being glycolytic. We therefore investigated the region-specific functional effects of glucagon on glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in isolated PPHs and PVHs prepared by the digitonin-collagenase method. BB rats, a model of insulin-dependent diabetes, were used to study the region-specific heterogeneity of gluconeogenesis in the diabetic state. Although glycogen content was not different between PVHs and PPHs in rats fed the normal diet, basal glucose release was 1.37 times greater in PVHs than in PPHs (P <.05). The increase in glucose release stimulated by 0.01 to 0.1 nmol/L glucagon was 1.52 times greater in PVHs than in PPHs (P < .05), whereas no differences were seen in response to 1 to 100 nmol/L glucagon. Glucose release from gluconeogenic substrates was 1.57 times greater in the PPHs than in the PVHs of fasted normal rats (P < .05), whereas the increase in gluconeogenesis produced by glucagon was not different between PPHs and PVHs. The glucagon-binding capacity, the cAMP release, and the increase in intracellular Ca2+ stimulated by glucagon were not different between PPHs and PVHs in the fed or fasted states. Gluconeogenesis from gluconeogenic substrates was 1.52 times greater in the PPHs than in the PVHs of fasted nondiabetic BB rats (P < .05). After the development of diabetes, the gluconeogenic capacity in PVHs increased to the level observed in PPHs, but that in PPHs did not change. Thus there was no difference in gluconeogenesis between the PPHs and PVHs of diabetic BB rats. In both the PPHs and PVHs of diabetic BB rats, the 0.01 to 100 nmol/L glucagon-induced increase in gluconeogenesis was greater than that in PPHs from nondiabetic BB rats (2.30 and 3.07 times, P < .01, respectively). We conclude that PPHs and PVHs of normal rat liver express region-specific differences in their glycogenolytic and gluconeogenic responses to glucagon. In diabetic BB rats, the difference in the gluconeogenic capacity between PPHs and PVHs disappeared, whereas glucagon-induced gluconeogenesis was enhanced.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteomas of the paranasal sinus are often asymptomatic and are sometimes complicated by mucoceles, but intradural extension of such a mucocele has rarely been reported. CASE DESCRIPTION This 67-year-old man with complaint of headache was diagnosed as having an intradural extension of a mucocele complicating an osteoma of the frontoethmoid sinus. A right frontobasal craniotomy was performed and a mucocele in the frontal sinus extending into the frontal lobe through two dural defects and the osteoma was removed completely. The patient was successfully treated without recurrence. CONCLUSION The importance of radical surgery for such lesions and the relationship between osteomas and mucoceles are discussed.

Abstract
It has been reported that hyperglycemia in the portal venous blood suppresses afferent activity of the hepatic branch of the vagus nerve, which in turn accelerates efferent activity of the pancreatic branch of the vagus nerve to stimulate insulin secretion. The present study examined this neural control mechanism in genetically obese diabetic male Wistar fatty (fa/fa) rats. Adult (aged 12 to 14 weeks) Wistar fatty rats were obese, hyperinsulinemic, and hyperglycemic. Young (aged 5 to 6 weeks) Wistar fatty rats were slightly obese and hyperinsulinemic, but were euglycemic compared with the lean littermates. In both adult and young lean littermates, the plasma insulin response after an intragastric glucose load (1 g/kg) was diminished by intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) atropine methylbromide (methylatropine 10 nmol) pretreatment, and a transient increase in plasma insulin was observed after selective hepatic vagotomy, as reported in normal rats. In contrast, in both adult and young Wistar fatty rats, the plasma insulin response after an intragastric glucose load was not diminished by i.c.v. methylatropine pretreatment, and plasma insulin decreased slightly after selective hepatic vagotomy. Further, afferent discharges of the hepatic vagal branch decreased and efferent discharges of the celiac/pancreatic vagal branch increased when 10 mg glucose was infused into the portal vein in the 9-week-old lean littermates, as reported in normal rats. In 7-week-old Wistar fatty rats, afferent discharges of the hepatic vagal branch decreased but efferent discharges of the celiac/pancreatic vagal branch did not increase after intraportal glucose infusion. It is concluded that the vagus nerve-mediated regulation of insulin secretion is impaired from an early stage of life in Wistar fatty rats. Efferent discharges of the vagus nerve to the pancreas seem not to be suppressed by afferent discharges from the hepatic vagus branch, which may lead to insufficient insulin secretion in response to nutrient ingestion followed by a delayed peak. These abnormalities may thus lead to the insulin resistance and fasting hyperinsulinemia that characterize the Wistar fatty rat model.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine if there is a correlation between high blood glucose and serum ceruloplasmin (Cp) levels. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Serum Cp levels were measured in 637 patients with type 2 diabetes (all type 2 diabetes group). For the follow-up type 2 diabetes group, 161 patients who had not had any changes in their situation during the last year that are known to influence serum Cp levels were reexamined 1 year later. The control group was composed of 158 healthy individuals. Serum Cp and blood HbA1c levels were measured by radial immunodiffusion and high-performance liquid chromatography assays, respectively. RESULTS Serum Cp levels in the all type 2 diabetes group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.0001), although the serum Cp levels did not correlate with the blood HbA1c levels in the all type 2 diabetes group (r = 0.055, P = 0.351). Then we evaluated those factors (delta-log Cp and delta-HbA1c) in the follow-up type 2 diabetes group to minimize changes from the genetic differences and to exclude any known factors influencing serum Cp levels. This indicated that the delta-HbA1c had a positive correlation to the delta-log Cp (r = 0.304, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS A persistent high blood glucose (namely HbA1c) is associated with an increase in serum Cp levels over 1 year.

Abstract
Divalent cations are known to affect the activity of the cAMP-generating system. By observing the effects of the addition of cobalt (Co2+) and the depletion of calcium (Ca2+), this study tried to determine the relative contribution of Ca2+-dependent mechanism in glucagon-induced glucose output from the isolated perfused rat liver. Co2+ (1 mM) completely suppressed glucose and cAMP output induced by 0.1 nM glucagon and partly suppressed those induced by 1 to 10 nM glucagon. Co2+ (1-5 mM) did not inhibit 125I-labeled glucagon binding to hepatic cell membrane. Phenylephrine- or angiotensin II-induced glucose output was not affected by 1 mM Co2+. Co2+ (1 mM) inhibited a glucagon-induced increase in [Ca2+]i in isolated rat hepatocytes but did not inhibit a phenylephrine-induced increase in [Ca2+]i. The removal of Ca2+ from the perfusion medium impaired phenylephrine- or angiotensin II-induced glucose output, but did not impair glucagon-induced glucose output. When glucagon-induced cAMP production was inhibited by Co2+, the glucose output produced by 1 to 10 nM glucagon was impaired further in the Ca2+-free perfusion. Addition of 0.1 mM IBMX increased the glucose output produced by 1 nM glucagon but did not increase that produced by 10 nM glucagon in the Co2+-containing Ca2+-free perfusion. These results suggest that Co2+ inhibits the glucagon-responsive adenylyl cyclase system directly, resulting in impaired glucose output. Glucagon increases [Ca2+]i through a mechanism different from that of phenylephrine. Glucagon (0.01-10 nM)-induced glucose output from the liver is derived mainly through a cAMP-dependent mechanism. Only when glucagon-induced cAMP production was inhibited by Co2+ was the Ca2+ dependency observed in high concentrations (>/=1 nM) of glucagon-induced glucose output, and it approximated 30% of the glucose output produced by 10 nM glucagon.

Abstract
We describe the changes in B cells and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)-like immunoreactivity in the pancreatic islets of Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, an animal model of human non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). In the OLETF rat pancreatic islets, CGRP immunoreactivity was seen in the nerve fibers with multiple varicosities and in endocrine cells that were identical to somatostatin-containing cells, but some somatostatin-immunoreactive cells lacked CGRP immunoreactivity. In the OLETF rats, plasma insulin levels were significantly higher than in the control rats (Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka; LETO) only at 7 weeks of age. From 7 through 32 weeks of age, OLETF rats had a greater B-cell area than LETO rats. The length of CGRP-immunoreactive nerve fibers per area and the numbers of CGRP-immunoreactive cells per area did not differ between the groups at 7 weeks of age. After 16 weeks of age, both of these CGRP parameters in the OLETF rats became increasingly higher than in the LETO rats. These results suggest that CGRP is a B-cell growth factor and probably an inhibitory factor for insulin secretion.

Abstract
The prognostic value of ubiquitin levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was studied in human global brain ischemia (anoxic-ischemic encephalopathy). Twenty four samples were collected from 13 patients who were resuscitated from cardio-pulmonary arrest and survived for at least 1 day. The outcome was classified according to the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS1-5). The ubiquitin levels (normal: 14.3 +/- 1.1 ng/ml, mean +/- S.E.M.) in neurologically symptomatic patients (GOS1-4) were 151 +/- 32.5 ng/ml on day 1-2 and elevated to 1,960 +/- 849 ng/ml on day 3-4. The Spearman's rank correlation of ubiquitin levels on day 3-4 and the GOS was -0.855, showing a better correlation than CSF neuron-specific enolase levels (r = -0.846). Ubiquitin is a heat shock protein associated with the degradation of abnormal cellular proteins. Thus, the elevation of CSF ubiquitin levels represents both its overproduction by a cytoprotective response to brain ischemia and its leakage from the damaged tissue. The present study suggests that the measurement of CSF ubiquitin level is useful for the early prognostic assessment of global brain ischemia.

Abstract
To know whether the insulin resistance is improved by delaying carbohydrate absorption from the small intestine, we studied the effect of a disaccharidase inhibitor, AO-128, on insulin resistance of Wistar fatty rats. Rats were kept on standard laboratory chow with and without 10 ppm of AO-128 for 4 weeks, and then subjected to the glucose clamp. At the end of the 4-week treatment, plasma glucose level at 14:00 to 16:00 of AO-128 treated rats was 121 +/- 14 mg/100 ml (mean +/- S.D.), significantly lower than 226 +/- 72 mg/100 ml of the rats without AO-128. During clamp steady state under 20 mU.kg (-1).min (-1) continuous insulin infusion, glucose uptake of AO-128 treated rats was only 7.62 +/- 0.70 mg.kg (-1). min (-1), not different from 6.64 +/- 0.91 mg.kg (-1).min (-1) of rats without AO-128, but much lower than the lean littermates (20.81 +/- 3.11 mg.kg (-1).min (-1)). However, the percent suppression of hepatic glucose output was 55.2 +/- 23.8%, which, though incomplete, was significantly higher than 17.4 +/- 11.2% of rats without AO-128. The present study suggested that there were at least two, components of insulin resistance, a genetically determined and a poor-glycemic control-related, and that the latter insulin resistance was ameliorated by AO-128.

Abstract
Simple screening tests, urinary porphobilinogen (PBG) for acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) and fecal coproporphyrin for hereditary coproporphyria (HCP), were performed in a family study of AIP and HCP. Urinary PBG was positive in 93 of 211 members of 10 AIP families, but was negative in 568 of 572 controls. Fecal coproporphyrin was positive in 54 of 108 members of 10 HCP families, but was negative in 188 controls. A dominant inheritance was assumed by a chi-square test and Weinberg segregation ratio. Worsening factors around puberty were suggested by the onset age and cumulative percentage of genetically loaded cases. Sex-related expression of symptoms was also inferred by a higher incidence of both porphyrias in females than in males. Fitness and penetrance of both porphyrias were good. An l-triiodothyronine loading test was the most useful for the detection of masked carriers of AIP. In conclusion, AIP and HCP in Japan show a dominant inheritance with sex-related metabolic and clinical manifestations.

Abstract
A 40-year-old man with Addison's disease due to adrenal tuberculosis retained high levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) after conventional hydrocortisone replacement. Plasma ACTH levels were completely suppressed by usual replacement with hydrocortisone (20 mg at 8:00 and 10 mg at 21:00) but rebounded to abnormally high levels the following morning. Administration of 2 mg or 8 mg of dexamethasone suppressed ACTH and cortisol. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed a low-intensity lesion of the pituitary gland. Pituitary hyperplasia or microadenoma with preserved regulation of ACTH was considered to be the cause of the high plasma ACTH levels. The combination of hydrocortisone and dexamethasone reduced plasma ACTH levels.

Abstract
Hepatic glucoreceptor-vagal afferent inputs to the central nervous system and pancreatic vagal efferent stimuli are important for insulin secretion. In the present study, we examined the effect of intracerebroventricular (i.c.v.) injection of atropine methyl bromide (methylatropine) on the insulin response following glucose ingestion in rats. When rats were injected with methylatropine i.c.v., the plasma glucose concentration increased, the insulin response reduced, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36) amide (tGLP-1) was unchanged following an oral glucose load, compared with the controls. The plasma insulin response following an intravenous glucose load was not affected by i.c.v. or intraperitoneal injection of methylatropine. A transient increase in plasma insulin after selective hepatic vagotomy was inhibited by i.c.v. injection of methylatropine. Arterial blood pressure or pulse rate was not changed by i.c.v. injection of methylatropine. These results show that the central nervous system plays an important role in the vagal control of the insulin response to glucose ingestion. In rats, for the insulin response soon after glucose ingestion (early phase insulin response), direct neural control (hepatic vagal afferent-central nervous system-pancreatic vagal efferent) of the islet B cells seems more important than the intestinal insulinotropic hormone, tGLP-1.

Abstract
Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (tGIP) and truncated glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are potent gastrointestinal insulinotropic factors (incretin), are most released after a meal or ingestion of glucose in man and animals. To investigate whether sulfonylurea (SU) affects the secretion of incretin, the modulation of plasma GIP and tGLP-1 levels following glucose ingestion in non-insulin-dependent diabetic type 2 patients with or without SU therapy was studied. A 75-G oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was carried out on 9 healthy subjects (controls) and 18 patients with non-obese type 2, 9 of whom were treated by diet alone (NIDDM-diet) and the other 9 with SU (glibenclamide 2.5 mg or gliclazide 40 mg) once a day (NIDDM-SU). Plasma GIP was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) with R65 antibody, and GLP-1 was measured by RIA with N-terminal-directed antiserum R1043 (GLP-1NT) and C-terminal-directed antiserum R2337 (GLP-1CT). Following OGTT, plasma glucose, GIP, GLP-1NT, and GLP-1CT in type 2 patients increased more markedly than in controls, despite the lower response of insulin. However, there were no significant differences in plasma levels of these peptides between the NIDDM-diet and NIDDM-SU groups. Therefore, it is unlikely that SU is involved in the high response of GIP and GLP-1s to OGTT in type 2 patients.
