Abstract
Objective: To review clinical studies on the nocebo effect. PubMed was searched for relevant clinical studies as well as studies on the relationship between the nocebo effect and genes. Data sources: A total of 35 clinical studies on the nocebo effect and one study on its relationship with genes were selected for review. All were conducted outside Japan. Results and conclusion: An increasing number of clinical studies on the nocebo effect are being published. The 36 studies selected for review were grouped into the following five categories: (1) studies of how differences in participant characteristics such as personality affect susceptibility to the nocebo effect, (2) studies of how differences in provision of information about side effects affect susceptibility to the nocebo effect, (3) studies of how nocebo conditioning affects susceptibility to the nocebo effect, (4) studies of nocebo response mechanisms, and (5) studies of the nocebo effect and genetic polymorphisms. The first four categories comprised 5, 19, 8, and 3 studies, respectively, and the fifth comprised 1 study. Most of the studies investigated how differences in the provision of information affect susceptibility to the nocebo effect. Few studies investigated individual differences in the nocebo effect (differences between responders and non-responders) or mechanisms of the nocebo effect.

Abstract
The anti-bone resorptive drugs denosumab, an anti-human-RANKL antibody, and zoledronic acid (ZOL), a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate, have recently been applied for treatment of pediatric patients with bone diseases, though details regarding their effects in growing children have yet to be fully elucidated. In the present study, we administered these anti-resorptive drugs to mice from the age of 1 week and continued once-weekly injections for a total of 7 times. Mice that received the anti-RANKL antibody displayed normal growth and tooth eruption, though osteopetrotic bone volume gain in long and alveolar bones was noted, while there were nearly no osteoclasts and a normal of number osteoblasts observed. In contrast, ZOL significantly delayed body growth, tooth root formation, and tooth eruption, with increased osteoclast and decreased osteoblast numbers. These findings suggest regulation of tooth eruption via osteoblast differentiation by some types of anti-resorptive drugs.

Abstract
Patients benefit from drug therapy not only through pharmacological mechanisms, but also through non-pharmacological action (placebo effect), which may be mediated in part by the prefrontal area of the brain. We consider that the difference between responders and non-responders to placebo might be related to polymorphisms in the serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR). To study this idea, we performed a randomized double-blind clinical trial using caffeine and lactose (placebo). Activity in the prefrontal area of the brain was measured in terms of blood flow by means of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) as an objective indicator. Self-reported feelings of drowsiness on established scales were used as subjective indicators. Twenty-one subjects in block A took caffeine on the first day and placebo on the third day, and 21 in block B took placebo on the first day and placebo on the third day. After placebo administration, improvement of sleepiness was significantly enhanced, a similar extent to that after caffeine medication. Among the 42 subjects, 22 showed S/S type polymorphism in the serotonin transporter (52.4 %), 17 showed S/L type (40.5 %) and 3 showed L/L type (7.10 %). Statistical analysis of the results indicate that subjects with L/L genotype showed a significantly greater placebo response in terms of both self-reported feeling of drowsiness and blood flow in the prefrontal area of the brain associated with working memory (46 area). Our results indicate that the L/L genotype of 5-HTTLPR, which is rare in Japanese (3.2 %) but common in Americans (32.2 %), may be associated with a greater placebo effect.

Abstract
A patient with a rare combination of prolactinoma and aldosterone producing adrenal adenoma (APA) was reported in relation to studies concerning dopaminergic regulation of PRL and aldosterone secretion. The patient is a 38-year-old female with plasma PRL and aldosterone concentrations (PAC) of 563 ng/ml and 54 ng/dl, respectively. A bolus of 10 mg of metoclopramide significantly increased plasma PRL in 6 normal subjects and in 4 patients with APA, whereas the responses were blunted in 7 patients with prolactinoma and in our patient. The response of aldosterone to metoclopramide was less than that of PRL, but similar in all studied subjects, indicating that the dopaminergic inhibition of aldosterone secretion is less than that of PRL in normal subjects and did not change in patients with APA or prolactinoma. Oral administration of 2.5 mg of bromocriptine suppressed plasma PRL significantly in all the subjects studied, but did not produce any consistent changes in PAC. Discrepancies in the response of PRL and aldosterone to metoclopramide and to bromocriptine suggest a difference in the dopaminergic regulation of PRL and aldosterone secretion in both normal subjects and patients with prolactinoma and APA. It is unlikely that reduced dopaminergic inhibition is the basis for hypersecretion of PRL and aldosterone in our patient.

Abstract
The possibility that a plant lectin as a carrier protein would specifically activate T cells, resulting in the augmentation of antitumor immunity was investigated. ATF1011, a nonmitogenic lectin for T cells purified from Aloe arborescens Mill, bound equally to normal and tumor cells. ATF1011 binding on the MM102 tumor cell surfaces augmented anti-trinitrophenyl (TNP) antibody production of murine splenocytes when the mice were primarily immunized with TNP-conjugated MM102 tumor cells. The alloreactive cytotoxic T cell response was also augmented by allostimulator cells binding ATF1011 on the cell surfaces. These augmented responses may be assumed to be mediated by the activation of helper T cells recognizing ATF1011 as a carrier protein. Killer T cells were induced against ATF1011 antigen in the H-2 restricted manner using syngeneic stimulator cells bearing ATF1011 on the cell surfaces. When this lectin was administered intralesionally into the tumors, induction of cytotoxic effector cells was demonstrated. These results suggest that intralesionally administered ATF1011 binds to the tumor cell membrane and activates T cells specific for this carrier lectin in situ, which results in the augmented induction of systemic antitumor immunity.
