Abstract
The stability of dry anaerobic digestion (AD) of food waste (FW) as well as the resulting methane gas generation was investigated from the perspective of system dynamics. Various organic loading rates were applied to the system by modifying the water content in the FW feed and solid retention time (SRT). The excessive organic loading due to the accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from the feed with 80% water content during the short SRT (15 and 20 d) caused system failure. In contrast, more intermediate materials, such as VFAs, was easily converted into methane at higher water contents. In addition, the biogas production rate of dry AD was effectively predicted based on SRT, soluble chemical oxygen demand, total VFA, total ammonia, and free ammonia using a recurrent neural network-the so-called "black-box" model. This implies the feasibility of applying this data-based black-box model for controlling and optimizing complex biological processes.

Abstract
Abstract
Aims
The clinical meaning of a trans-stent pressure gradient after DES implantation has not been estimated adequately. We evaluated the usefulness of a fractional flow reserve (FFR) gradient across the stent (ΔFFRstent) for long-term clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a drug-eluting stent (DES).
Methods and results
FFR pull-back and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) were performed after successful PCI in 135 left anterior descending artery lesions. ΔFFRstent was defined as the FFR gradient across the stent. The ΔFFRstent/length was defined as the ΔFFRstent value divided by the total stent length multiplied by 10 [= (ΔFFRstent ÷ stent length) x 10]. Major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) were the composite of all-cause death, target vessel related myocardial infarction, and target lesion revascularisation. Despite successful PCI without significant complications on IVUS, ΔFFRstent >0 was observed in 98.5% of cases. ΔFFRstent ≥0.04 and ΔFFRstent/length ≥0.009 predicted suboptimal stenting defined as final minimal stent area <5.5 mm2. During 2183±898 days, the MACE-free survival rate was significantly lower in patients with ΔFFRstent ≥0.04 and ΔFFRstent/length ≥0.009 compared to those with lower values (69.6 vs. 93.4%, log-rank p=0.031; 72.1 vs. 97.7%, log-rank p=0.003, respectively). ΔFFRstent/length ≥0.009 (hazard ratio 10.1, p=0.032) was an independent predictor of MACE.
Trans-stent FFR and MACE
Conclusion
A trans-stent FFR gradient was frequently observed in DES-treated patients despite successful PCI results. ΔFFRstent and ΔFFRstent/length are useful indicators for optimising a DES and are related to long-term outcomes.

Abstract
This study compared the pharmacokinetics of Prednisolone (PDS) in small- and large breed dogs with a dosing format based on body surface area (BSA) or body weight (BW). The maximum concentration and area under the curve in large-breed dogs orally administered 2 mg/kg PDS were significantly greater than those in small-breed dogs given 2 mg/kg and in large-breed dogs given 40 mg/m2. The higher blood concentrations that result from BW-based dosing of oral PDS in large-breed dogs can be more than required for effect. Meanwhile, BSA dosing at 40 mg/m may be suboptimal. These findings confirm important differences between standard PDS dosing schemes in dogs while highlighting the need to further optimize PDS dosing in large-breed dogs.

Abstract
This study evaluated the feasibility of using a silicon carbide (SiC) anaerobic ceramic membrane bioreactor (AnCMBR) to co-manage domestic wastewater (DWW) and food waste recycling wastewater (FRW). A pilot-scale SiC-AnCMBR was put into operation for 140 days under two different organic loading rates (OLRs): 5 kg COD m-3 d-1 (OLR 5) and 3 kg COD m-3 d-1 (OLR 3). The organic removal efficiency was 93.5 ± 3.7% over the operational period. Methane production increased significantly after sludge re-seeding at OLR 3. rDNA and rRNA microbial results showed that the active archaeal community was affected by sludge re-seeding, whereas the active bacterial community was not, indicating that a shift in the active archaeal community was responsible for the increased methane production. Our results thus suggest that SiC-AnCMBRs are a promising option for co-managing DWW and FRW.

Abstract
An anaerobic ceramic membrane bioreactor (AnCMBR) has been attracted as an alternative technology to co-manage various organic substrates. This AnCMBR study investigated process performance and microbial community structure at decreasing temperatures to evaluate the potential of AnCMBR treatment for co-managing domestic wastewater (DWW) and food waste-recycling wastewater (FRW). As a result, the water flux (≥6.9 LMH) and organic removal efficiency (≥98.0%) were maintained above 25 °C. The trend of methane production in the AnCMBR was similar except for at 15 °C. At 15 °C, the archaeal community structure did not shifted, whereas the bacterial community structure was changed. Various major archaeal species were identified as the mesophilic methanogens which unable to grow at 15 °C. Our results suggest that the AnCMBR can be applied to co-manage DWW and FRW above 20 °C. Future improvements including psychrophilic methanogen inoculation and process optimization would make co-manage DWW and FRW at lower temperature climates.

Abstract
A pilot-scale investigation of membrane-based aerobic digestion system dominated by endospore-forming bacteria was evaluated as one of the potential sludge treatment processes (STP). Most of the organic matter in the sludge was removed (90.1%) by the particular bacteria in the STP, which consisted of mixed liquor suspended solid (MLSS) contact reactor (MCR), MLSS oxidation reactor (MOR), and membrane bioreactor (MBR). The sludge was accumulated in the MBR without wasting, and then the effluent in STP was fed into the first step in water resource recovery facility (WRRF). According to the analysis of microbial communities in all reactors, various Bacillus species were present in the STP, mainly due to their intrinsic resistance to the extreme conditions. As the surviving Bacillus species might consume degraded microorganisms for their growth, these endospore-forming bacteria-based STP could be suitable for the sludge reduction when they operated for a long time.

Abstract
Meropenem, a second carbapenem antimicrobial agent with a broad spectrum of activity, is used to treat sepsis and resistant-bacterial infections in veterinary medicine. The objective of this study was to identify the pharmacokinetics of meropenem in dogs receiving intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) and to determine the proper dosing in renal failure patients receiving IHD. Five healthy beagle dogs were given a single i.v. dose of 24 mg/kg of meropenem and received IHD. The blood flow rate, dialysate flow, and ultrafiltration rate were maintained at 40 mL/min, 300 mL/min, and 40 mL/h, respectively. Blood samples were collected for 24 h from the jugular vein and from the extracorporeal arterial and venous line. Urine samples and dialysate were also collected. The concentrations of meropenem were assayed using HPLC/MS/MS determination. The peak plasma concentration was 116 ± 37 μg/mL at 15 min. The systemic clearance was 347 ± 117 mL/h/kg, and the steady-state volume of distribution was 223 ± 67 mL/kg. Dialysis clearance was 71.1 ± 34.3 mL/h/kg, and the extraction ratio by hemodialysis was 0.455 ± 0.150. The half-life (T1/2 ) in dogs with IHD decreased compared with those without IHD, and the reduction in T1/2 was greater in renal failure patients than in normal patients. Sixty-nine percent and 21% of the administered drug were recovered by urine and dialysate in the unchanged form, respectively. In conclusion, additional dosing of 24 mg/kg of meropenem after dialysis could be necessary according to the residual renal function of the patient based on the simulated data.

Abstract
Adjuvant chemotherapy improves survival time in dogs receiving adequate local control for appendicular osteosarcoma, but most dogs ultimately succumb to metastatic disease. The fluoroquinolone antibiotic enrofloxacin has been shown to inhibit survival and proliferation of canine osteosarcoma cells in vitro. Others have reported that fluoroquinolones may modulate cellular responses to DNA damaging agents and that these effects may be differentially mediated by p53 activity. We therefore determined p53 status and activity in three canine osteosarcoma cell lines and examined the effects of enrofloxacin when used alone or in combination with doxorubicin or carboplatin chemotherapy. Moresco and Abrams canine osteosarcoma cell lines contained mutations in p53, while no mutations were identified in the D17 cells or in a normal canine osteoblast cell line. The addition of enrofloxacin to either doxorubicin or carboplatin resulted in further reductions in osteosarcoma cell viability; this effect was apparent regardless of p53 mutational status or downstream activity.

Abstract
Tulobuterol is a β2-adrenergic agonist that was the first bronchodilator approved as a transdermal patch for humans. Previous studies have examined the pharmacokinetics of tulobuterol in humans but not in the veterinary species. In this study, the pharmacokinetics of tulobuterol was examined in healthy Beagle dogs after transdermal and intravenous administration. The Cmax was 2.09 ng/mL at 16.0 h for a 0.2 mg/kg patch and 4.85 ng/mL at 13.6 h for a 0.4 mg/kg patch. The effective blood level in humans is 1-3 ng/mL, a concentration achieved using the 0.2 mg/kg patch in dogs. In conclusion, application of a 0.2 mg/kg tulobuterol patch to healthy dogs led to an apparently effective blood concentration for 24 h.

Abstract
Background Limited information is available about the role of adipokines in the development and progression of acute pancreatitis (AP) in dogs. Objectives To determine whether the circulating concentrations of adipokines differed between healthy dogs and dogs with AP, and whether the circulating concentrations differed between AP survivors and AP nonsurvivors. Animals Twenty‐eight healthy dogs and 25 client‐owned dogs with AP. Methods Prospective observational cohort study of 25 client‐owned dogs with newly diagnosed AP and 28 otherwise healthy dogs with similar body condition scores. The serum concentrations of leptin, adiponectin, resistin, visfatin, interleukin (IL)‐1β, IL‐6, IL‐10, IL‐18, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)‐α were measured. Results The serum concentrations of leptin (P = .0021), resistin (P = .0010), visfatin (P < .0001), IL‐1β (P < .0001), IL‐6 (P = .0002), IL‐10 (P < .0001), and IL‐18 (P < .0001) were significantly higher in dogs with AP than healthy dogs, whereas the adiponectin concentration (P = .0011) was significantly lower. There were significant differences in the serum concentrations of leptin (P = .028) and adiponectin (P = .046) in survivors and nonsurvivors. After the disappearance of clinical signs, the concentrations of resistin (P = .037) and IL‐1β (P = .027) decreased significantly, whereas the serum concentrations of leptin (P > .999), adiponectin (P = .11), visfatin (P = .83), IL‐6 (P = .82), IL‐10 (P = .82), IL‐18 (P = .56), and TNF‐α (P = .94) did not differ significantly. Conclusion and Clinical Importance This study showed that dysregulation of adipokines might be involved in the pathogenesis of AP. In addition, leptin and adiponectin are likely to be associated with mortality rate in AP.

Abstract
Homocysteine (Hcy) at elevated levels is a putative risk factor for many cardiovascular disorders including atherosclerosis. In the present study, we investigated the effect of Hcy on the expression of cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in murine macrophages and the mechanisms involved. Hcy increased the expression of COX-2 mRNA and protein in dose- and time-dependent manners, but did not affect COX-1 expression. Hcy-induced COX-2 expression was attenuated not only by the calcium chelators, EGTA and BAPTA-AM, but also by an antioxidant, N-acetylcysteine. Calcium chelators also attenuated Hcy-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in macrophages, indicating that Hcy-induced COX-2 expression might be mediated through ROS generated by calcium-dependent signaling pathways. In another series of experiments, Hcy increased the intracellular concentration of calcium in a dose-dependent manner, which was attenuated by MK-801, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor inhibitor, but not by bicuculline, a gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor inhibitor. Molecular inhibition of NMDA receptor using small interfering RNA also attenuated Hcy-induced increases in intracellular calcium. Furthermore, both ROS production and Hcy-induced COX-2 expression were also inhibited by MK-801 as well as by molecular inhibition of NMDA receptor. Taken together, these findings suggest that Hcy enhances COX-2 expression in murine macrophages by ROS generated via NMDA receptor-mediated calcium signaling pathways.

Abstract
The current study attempted to evaluate the association between the IL-10 promoter gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) in 105 patients. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms were investigated in the proximal region of the IL-10 promoter gene (-1082/-819/-592). Two haplotypes (1082*A/819*T/592*A [ATA] and 1082*A/819*C/592*C [ACC]) were found in the current study. The overall incidence of IPA was estimated as 14.1+/-4.5% with a median onset at 186 days post-transplant (62 approximately 405 days). An increased occurrence of IPA was noted dependent on the IL-10 haplotype (0% vs 11.5+/-6.4% vs 19.7+/-7.7% for ACC/ACC vs ATA/ACC vs ATA/ATA haplotype, P=0.0307 when comparing ACC with non-ACC haplotype). In a multivariate survival analysis using Cox's proportional hazard model, the IL-10 promoter gene SNPs were identified as an independent predictive factor for the development of IPA (P=0.012, hazard ratio (HR) 9.3), along with an histocompatibility leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical donor (P=0.005, HR 16.3), the CD34+ cell dose transplanted (P=0.004, HR 26.5), and time-dependent chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD; P=0.049, HR 16.0). The IL-10 ACC haplotype was found to have an apparent protective role in the development of IPA after allogeneic transplantation, regardless of HLA-disparity or chronic GVHD.

Abstract
Mizoribine (MZR), an inhibitor of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase, which depletes cellular guanadine triphosphate, is an immunosuppressive drug. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism by which MZR exerts cytotoxic effects on human Jurkat T cells. Our study showed that MZR-induced apoptotic death of human Jurkat T cells is dose-dependent and time-dependent, as revealed by chromatin condensation and H2AX phosphorylation. Furthermore, MZR increased the catalytic activity of caspase family cysteine proteases, including caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9, in human Jurkat T cells. In conclusion, MZR induces the apoptotic death of human Jurkat T cells via activation of caspase family proteases as well as by mitochondrial dysfunction.

Abstract
It is important to optimize methods to mobilize hematopoietic stem cells into peripheral blood (PB) for successful allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation. Our primary intent was to investigate the role of GM-CSF for mobilization in normal healthy donors and to compare its efficacy in mobilizing stem cells alone, in concurrent combination and in sequential combination with G-CSF in this study. We analyzed the results of the PBSC harvest through large volume leukapheresis from 48 normal healthy donors mobilized by three different regimens including GM-CSF. Donors were assigned sequentially to one of the following regimens for mobilization: GM-CSF 10 microg/kg/day alone (group 1, n = 9); concurrent combination (group 2, n = 20) of G-CSF 5 microg/kg/day and GM-CSF 5 microg/kg/day; sequential combination (group 3, n = 19) of GM-CSF alone 10 microg/kg/day for 3 days followed by G-CSF alone 10 microg/kg/day for 2-3 days. The harvested CD34(+) cell count (P < 0.05) was statistically higher in group 3 than in group 1 or 2. Pre-collection WBC count in donors (P < 0.05), harvested MNC (P < 0.05) and CD3(+) cell count (P < 0.05) of group 2 or 3 were significantly higher than those of group 1. Recipients who received stem cells mobilized with combination regimens showed an earlier recovery of WBC and platelets count than those with GM-CSF alone. The incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease was not statistically different among three recipient groups. GM-CSF-based mobilization was well tolerated in normal healthy donors. The sequential combination regimen appears to be an excellent mobilization strategy and might be preferred as the optimal method in some clinical situations that need a higher number of stem cells.

Abstract
Mouse Tdho (Tattered-Hokkaido) was described as being allelic with Td in our previous study. Both allelic genes, which are located at the same position on the centromere of the X Chromosome (Chr), generate similar phenotypes such as male embryonic lethality, and in heterozygous females, hyperkeratotic skin, skeletal abnormalities, and growth retardation. The emopamil binding protein gene (Ebp) emerged as a candidate for mouse Tdho mutation, since the Td gene was recently determined to result from a point mutation of Ebp. In this study, Ebp cDNA of Tdho was demonstrated to possess double point mutations that cause two amino acid changes from Leu to Pro at position 132 and from Ser to Cys at 133 in EBP protein. EBP participates in cholesterol biosynthesis, and cholest-8(9)-en-3beta-ol was found to be increased in the plasma of Tdho adult females but not in that of normal mice. From these results, a loss of function was expected for the EBP protein encoded by Tdho. Both the phenotypes and genes responsible for Tdho as well as Td are quite similar to those of human X-linked chondrodysplasia punctata (CDPX2).

Abstract
Two congenic strains, C57BL-KitW and C57BL-KitS, were generated. The KitW allele originated from strain WB-KitW and the KitS allele from Mus spretus. The KitW/KitS males showed hybrid sterility with small testes, but the females were fertile. The development of the seminiferous tubules of KitW/KitS males stopped before the spermatocyte stage and they were almost free of sperm. The Kit gene is located at position 42 on chromosome 5. We investigated in the C57BL-KitS congenic strain which part of the chromosomal region adjacent to the KitS allele is introduced from SPR into a C57BL background. The region between positions 42 and 44 was derived from SPR. Eleven amino acid substitutions of the KitS cDNA were detected by comparison with the sequence data of the +Kit cDNA from C57BL; seven were in the extracellular domain, one in the transmembrane domain, two in the kinase I domain, and one in the carboxy-terminal tail. The Kit mRNA derived from both KitW and KitS alleles was expressed in the sterile testes of KitW/KitS males.

Abstract
Benzothiazole (BT) is present in tobacco smoke and widely used for industrial and pharmaceutical purposes. In this study we have investigated the influence of BT on the activities of hepatic cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) and UDP-glucuronyltransferase (UDP-GT), sulphotransferase and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in male Sprague-Dawley rats. We also examined if BT would change the metabolism and toxification of acetaminophen (AA) through modulation of metabolizing enzymes. Benzothiazole (1 mmol kg(-1), p.o., 5 days) markedly increased the enzyme activities of P4501A1, 1A2, 2B1, 3A4, 2E1, UDP-GT and GST in liver. Pretreatment with BT significantly decreased the amount of total AA recovered in bile to 68.5% of controls, mainly as a consequence of reduced AA-glucuronide conjugate (35.3% of controls), whereas the AA-glutathione conjugate (AA-GS) was augmented to 1.6-fold. After pretreatment with BT, potentiation of the hepatotoxicity by AA (400 mg kg(-1), i.p., 24 h) was observed by measuring serum alanine aminotransferase activities in ICR mice. These results indicate that: BT is a potent inducer of P450s and phase II metabolizing enzymes; and the increase of AA-GS conjugate and aggravation of AA hepatotoxicity by BT may be related to induction of P450s.

Abstract
1. The effect of PEITC on the expression of hepatic glutathione S-transferases (GST) and the glutathione (GSH) conjugation has been investigated in the Sprague-Dawley rat, and it has been determined whether hepatotoxicity of acetaminophen (AA) could be inhibited through the induction of GST expression in mouse. 2. The hepatic GST activity and protein levels of alpha class (Ya, Yc) and mu class (Yb1, Yb2) of GST were elevated in a dose-dependent manner after treatment with PEITC (0, 3.16, 10, 31.6, 100 and 200 mg/kg, p.o., 3 days). The mRNA levels of GST Ya and GST Yb1 were also markedly increased 1 day after treatment with PEITC at dosages ranging from 31.6 to 200 mg/kg. The hepatic GSH content was significantly increased to 200% of control at dose of 200 mg/kg PEITC. 3. Pretreatment with 100 mg/kg PEITC significantly enhanced the biliary excretion of glutathione conjugate of AA 2-fold, whereas treatment with 200 mg/kg did not affect it. 4. In mouse, PEITC (100 and 200 mg/kg, 3 days) decreased the lethality and hepatotoxicity caused by AA. 5. These results indicate that (1) the induction of GST by PEITC is presumably under transcriptional regulation, and (2) PEITC may have a protective function against AA-induced hepatotoxicity by induction effect on GST, in combination of enhancement of hepatic GSH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The Tdho allele is an X-linked dominant, embryonic male-lethal mouse mutation that occurs between embryonic day (E) 12.5 and E14.5. The lethal cause and responsible gene have not been identified until now. The cause of lethality in Tdho male embryos was examined with respect to the defect of hematopoiesis. METHODS Suppression subtractive hybridization and Northern blot analysis were performed on E12.5 male Tdho and normal mouse embryos. In addition, histochemical examinations and blood cell counts of normal and mutant E12.5 embryos were carried out. RESULTS Diminished expression of embryonic globin genes (zeta and epsilon globins) in the blood of E12.5 Tdho male embryos were documented by use of Northern blot analysis and subtractive hybridization. Increased apoptosis of yolk sac-derived erythrocytes was found in E12.5 Tdho male embryos. Furthermore, diminished numbers of anucleated erythrocytes were observed in E12.5 mutant embryos. CONCLUSIONS A defect of embryonic hematopoiesis in Tdho mice was suggested as one of the possible causes of embryo lethality.

Abstract
Sulfotransferase (ST) is considered to be generally not induced by xenobiotics. However, it has been reported that steroids such as dexamethasone (DEX) and pregnenolone-16a-carbonitrile (PCN) are effective ST inducers in rats, and sulfation of xenobiotics is quite different in rats and mice. The present study is primarily aimed at determining the effect of sulfate and steroids on the metabolism of acetaminophen (AA) in vitro using monolayer cultured hepatocytes of Sprague-Dawley rats and ICR mice. Hepatocytes of rats and mice were incubated with inorganic sulfate (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 mM) and AA in SO4-depleted media. AA sulfation rates increased as the sulfate concentration was raised to 1.0 mM in rats, whereas the addition of inorganic sulfate to the media had a lesser effect in mice hepatocytes. After pretreatment with DEX (0.1, 1.0, 10, 100 microM) and PCN (0.1, 1.0, 10 microM) for 3 d, hepatocytes were incubated with AA in media containing 4.0 mM SO4-. Pretreatment of the hepatocytes with DEX caused an increase in the glucuronidation and sulfation of AA by 2-3 folds in rats, but to a lesser extent in mice. PCN significantly enhanced the formation of AA-glucuronide and AA-sulfate in mice, but had a minimal effect on rat hepatocytes. In summary, sulfate and DEX markedly enhanced the formation of AA-sulfate in rats hepatocytes, and DEX and PCN increased the sulfation of AA in mice hepatocytes. These results partially support the claim that DEX and PCN are effective ST and uridine diphosphate-glucuronyltransferase inducers in vivo.

Abstract
Jumbled spine and ribs (Jsr) is an autosomal dominant mutation that results in malformation of the axial skeleton. The vertebrae of mutant mice (Jsr/+) are all shorter than those of normal mice (+/+) in the inbred line and show various abnormalities. In addition, several ribs are fused at their proximal region because of fusion of thoracic vertebrae. In this study, we localized the Jsr mutation on distal Chromosome (Chr) 5 and constructed a high-resolution map. Chromosomal mapping was performed with an inter-subspecific backcross of (CKH-Jsr/+ x MOG) F1 carrying the Jsr allele and CKH-+/+. The predicted gene order around Jsr was determined to be cen-(Epo, Pdgfa, D5Mit31, D5Mit374)-(Jsr, Nfe2u, D5Mit99, D5Mit247, D5Mit284, D5Mit292, D5Mit327)-D5Mit328-tel. Subsequently, high-resolution mapping concluded the Jsr localization to be cen-Nfe2u-1.0cM-Jsr-0.2cM-D5Mit247,292-tel . Jsr/Jsr homozygotes are alive, as the mutation is not lethal. Based on histological analysis of mutant embryos, Jsr is hypothesized to be caused by abnormal development of primordial cells in the axial skeleton.

Abstract
We found a new X-linked dominant mouse mutation. This mouse has the same phenotype as Td, which exhibits hyperkeratotic skin, reduced viability in affected females, a tendency to be smaller, lighter weight than the normal sibs during weaning age, and prenatal lethality in affected males. To map the locus, we tested 267 progeny from an intraspecific backcross between affected females and wild-origin strain males. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed with microsatellite markers of the proximal region of the mouse X Chromosome (Chr). This mutant showed no recombination with DXMit 123, DXMit 55, or DXMit 26. The gene position and phenotype of this mutant were very similar to those of Td. Therefore, it is speculated that the new mutant gene is a multiple allele of Td, and we designated it Tattered-Hokkaido (Tdho). Linkage analysis of these animals suggested a possible gene order of cen-(Tdho, DXMit123, DXMit55, DXMit26)-DXMit161-DXMit54-DXMit103-DXMit52 -DXMit190-DXMit138) in the X Chr. Prenatal lethality of male mutants was also investigated, with 12.5 to 16.5 embryonic day (E) backcrossed embryos from affected F1 females. It was found that the male mutants died between E12.5 and E14.5. The cause of death of male mutants is discussed in relation with the other proximal genes of the X Chr.

Abstract
It has been shown that ureter ligation increases the biliary excretion of acetaminophen (AA) conjugates, mainly as the sulfate in rats. This study was conducted to examine the effect of nephrotoxicants-that induce renal damage without liver injury on the biliary and urinary excretion of AA metabolites. Renal damage was produced in male S.D. rats, 1 day after dosing with 200 mg/kg p.o. of hexachloro-1,3-butadiene (HCBD), or 3 day after the dosage of 7.5 mg/kg iv of cisplatin (CIS). Renal damage without liver injury was confirmed by measuring serum enzymes, creatinine and BUN levels. AA and its metabolites were measured for 3 hr by HPLC in rats injected iv with 150 mg/kg of AA. The excreted amounts of AA-glucuronide (AA-G), AA-sulfate (AA-S) and AA-glutathione into bile were reduced to 57, 18 and 73% of control rats, respectively, by HCBD. HCBD pretreatment also altered the urinary excretion of AA-G, AA-S and AA-mercapturate to 75, 14 and 118% of controls. CIS drastically reduced the urinary excretion of AA metabolites, whereas this compound significantly enhanced the biliary excretion of AA-S. However, CIS did not cause an increase in the percentage of the dose excreted as AA-G in bile. Both HCBD and CIS caused marked elevations in the blood concentrations of AA-G and AA-S. These findings suggest that: 1) not all renal malfunction results in increased biliary excretion of AA metabolites to compensate for the lack of renal elimination, and 2) the selective reduction in biliary and urinary excretion of AA-S by HCBD appears to occur by mechanism(s) other than through alteration of AA and its metabolites.

Abstract
Technically refined angiograms and scintigrams were extremely sensitive in demonstrating experimental canine thromboemboli, both immediately after embolization and during the entire course of embolic lysis. Technical refinements included subselective, scintigraphically guided, magnification arteriography and eight-view perfusion scintigraphy. During thromboembolic lysis, excellent angiographic-scintigraphic correlation persisted. For every postembolic perfusion defect, the embolic basis could be demonstrated angiographically. Thus, apparent disparities between angiographic and scintigraphic evidence of embolism can no longer be attributed to lysis. Studies using nonresorbable Ivalon emboli indicated that localized spasm may play an important role in the perfusion defects that develop within a half hour after embolization, and that this spasm subsides considerably within 24 hours.

Abstract
Angiography demonstrated intussusception in a patient with recurrent unexplained gastrointestinal hemorrhage after outside barium studies had been interpreted as normal. Magnification arteriography provided an unusually clear depiction of the anatomic derangement of intussusception.
