Abstract
The patient, a 70-year-old Japanese woman diagnosed with parotid gland cancer, underwent wide excision and reconstruction (facial nerve ablation, nerve transposition). At 1 month after the surgery, she was brought to our hospital's pain medicine department because her postoperative pain and cancer-related pain were poorly controlled. She had already been prescribed a tramadol (37.5 mg)/acetaminophen (325 mg) combination tablet (5 tablets/day). However, in addition to the continuous pain in her face and lower limbs, she was troubled by a trigeminal neuralgia-like prominence ache. Because this pain could not be controlled by an increase to eight combination tablets per day, we switched her medication to a tramadol capsule. At 11 months post-surgery, we then switched her medication to an orally disintegrating tramadol tablet to improve medication adherence of the drug. From 14 months post-surgery, the patient also used a sustained-release tramadol preparation, and she was then able to sleep well. Her current regimen is an orally disintegrating sustained-release tablet combination (total 300 mg tramadol) per day, and she achieved sufficient pain relief. Because tramadol is not classified as a medical narcotic drug, it widely available and was shown here to be extremely useful for the treatment of our patient's mixed (mainly cancer) pain. J. Med. Invest. 64: 311-312, August, 2017.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown that strict perioperative blood glucose management may reduce mortality and morbidity in critically ill adult patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy and efficacy of the intraoperative application of a newly developed, next-generation artificial endocrine pancreas (STG-55, Nikkiso Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan). METHODS Twenty patients scheduled to undergo surgery were enrolled in this study. The STG-55 is designed to be more user-friendly than its conventional counterpart (STG-22) while maintaining the latter's fundamental functions, such as a closed-loop system using algorithms for insulin and glucose infusion. After anesthetic induction, a 20G intravenous catheter was inserted into a peripheral forearm vein and connected to a continuous blood glucose monitor. The resultant 105 scores for paired blood glucose values were compared by Bland-Altman analysis. RESULTS Stable blood glucose values were maintained automatically, and there were no complications related to use of the STG-55. A close correlation (r=0.96) was observed between continuous glucose measurements using the STG-55 and conventional intermittent glucose measurements. The difficulty of manipulation using this system was decreased by improved preparation procedures. CONCLUSION The glycemic control system using the STG-55 could provide an alternative way to achieve effective and safe perioperative glycemic control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Propofol causes vasodilation via endothelium-dependent and -independent mechanisms. Because endothelial function is impaired with aging, the effects of propofol on endothelium-dependent vasodilation might be altered by aging. The aim of this study was thus to determine the effects of aging on vascular responses to propofol. METHODS Young (4-6 weeks old) or adult (16-25 weeks old) rats were anesthetized with sevoflurane. The thoracic aorta was dissected and cut into pieces 3-4 mm in length. In some rings, the endothelium was deliberately removed. The ring segment of the aorta was mounted for isometric force recording at a resting tension of 0.5-1.0 g in a 2 ml organ bath, containing Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer. Arteries were precontracted with phenylephrine, and the function of endothelium was confirmed with acetylcholine. Then, we studied the concentration-dependent effects of propofol in endothelium-intact (control group) and -denuded aortic rings (denuded group), as well as those treated with N(ω)-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME group). RESULTS Relaxation due to propofol was observed in the control groups of both young and adult rats in a concentration-dependent manner, but the magnitude of relaxation was significantly greater in young rats. In addition, in young rats, relaxation due to propofol was significantly and equally reduced in both L-NAME and denuded groups at all propofol concentrations that we studied (10(-6)-10(-3) M). In adult rats, relaxation due to propofol was quite similar between control and L-NAME groups at all propofol concentrations, whereas it was significantly reduced in the denuded group. CONCLUSION These results suggest that endothelium-derived nitric oxide plays an important role in propofol-induced vasodilation in young rats, but not in adult rats.

Abstract
A PediaSat™ oximetry catheter (PediaSat: Edwards Lifesciences Co., Ltd., Irvine, CA, U. S. A.), which facilitates continuous measurement of central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2), may be useful for surgery for pediatric congenital heart disease. We used PediaSat during a bidirectional Glenn shunt. The patient was a 13-month-old boy. Under a diagnosis of left single ventricle (pulmonary atresia, right ventricular hypoplasia, atrial septal defect) and residual left aortic arch/left superior vena cava, a modified right Blalock-Taussig shunt was performed. Cyanosis deteriorated, so a bidirectional Glenn shunt was scheduled. After anesthesia induction, a 4.5 Fr double-lumen (8 cm) PediaSat was inserted through the right internal jugular vein for continuous ScvO2 monitoring. Furthermore, the probe of a near-infrared, mixed blood oxygen saturation-measuring monitor was attached to the forehead for continuous monitoring of the regional brain tissue mixed blood oxygen saturation (rSO2) (INVOS™ 5100C, Covidien; Boulder, CO, U. S. A.). Blockage of the right pulmonary artery and right superior vena cava decreased the oxygen saturation, ScvO2, and rSO2, but increased the central venous pressure. Although changes in ScvO2 were parallel to those in rSO2, the former showed more marked changes. A combination of ScvO2 and rSO2 for monitoring during Glenn shunt may be safer.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) is a serine/threonine kinase, and its kinase activity is dependent upon its association with either of the activating subunits p35 or p39, which are mainly expressed in neurons. We previously reported that Cdk5 knockout (KO) mice exhibit perinatal lethality, defective neuronal migration, and abnormal positioning of neurons in the facial motor nucleus and inferior olive in the hindbrain and Purkinje cells (PCs) in the cerebellum. In this study, we focused on the analysis of the role of Cdk5 in cerebellar development. For this purpose we generated midbrain-hindbrain-specific Cdk5 conditional knockout (MHB-Cdk5 KO) mice because the cerebellum develops postnatally, whereas Cdk5 KO mice die perinatally. Histological analysis of the MHB-Cdk5 KO mice revealed a significant size reduction of the cerebellum. In addition, profound disturbance of inward migration of granule cells (GC) was observed in the developing cerebellum. A normal dendritic development of the Purkinje cells (PCs) was disturbed in MHB-Cdk5 KO mice. Cultured Cdk5-null PCs showed similar dendritic abnormalities. These results indicate that Cdk5/p35 plays an important role in neuronal migration of PCs and GCs and dendrite formation of PCs in cerebellar development.

Abstract
A 58-year-old man with hypertension underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy under general and epidural anesthesia. Preoperative laboratory date revealed a normal platelet count and normal coagulation profile. Epidural puncture was successfully performed at the T9-10 intervertebral space on the first attempt without bleeding. An epidural catheter was smoothly inserted 5 cm cephalad. On the third postoperative day, paraplegia due to thoracic epidural hematoma developed shortly after extraction of the catheter. At that time, his blood pressure was 190/102 mmHg because of a pain due to walk. On using a hypotensive drug, his blood pressure fell. Ten minutes later, paraplegia disappeared spontaneously. It is suggested that the spinal cord of the patient was subjected to transient pressure hematoma. A decline in blood pressure may have caused the blood to spread through the epidural space, such that the neurologic symptoms disappeared.

Abstract
Parasites belonging to Leishmania braziliensis, Leishmania donovani, Leishmania mexicana complexes and Trypanosoma cruzi (clones 20 and 39) were searched in blood, lesions and strains collected from 28 patients with active cutaneous leishmaniasis and one patient with visceral leishmaniasis. PCR-hybridization with specific probes of Leishmania complexes (L. braziliensis, L. donovani and L. mexicana) and T. cruzi clones was applied to the different DNA samples. Over 29 patients, 8 (27.6%) presented a mixed infection Leishmania complex species, 17 (58.6%) a mixed infection Leishmania-T. cruzi, and 4 (13.8%) a multi Leishmania-T. cruzi infection. Several patients were infected by the two Bolivian major clones 20 and 39 of T. cruzi (44.8%). The L. braziliensis complex was more frequently detected in lesions than in blood and a reverse result was observed for L. mexicana complex. The polymerase chain reaction-hybridization design offers new arguments supporting the idea of an underestimated rate of visceral leishmanisis in Bolivia. Parasites were isolated by culture from the blood of two patients and lesions of 10 patients. The UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic averages) dendrogram computed from Jaccard's distances obtained from 11 isoenzyme loci data confirmed the presence of the three Leishmania complexes and undoubtedly identified human infections by L. (V.) braziliensis, L. (L.) chagasi and L. (L.) mexicana species. Additional evidence of parasite mixtures was visualized through mixed isoenzyme profiles, L. (V.) braziliensis-L. (L.) mexicana and Leishmania spp.-T. cruzi. The epidemiological profile in the studied area appeared more complex than currently known. This is the first report of parasitological evidence of Bolivian patients with trypanosomatidae multi infections and consequences on the diseases' control and patient treatments are discussed.

Abstract
Using ubiquitous primers which amplify the variable parts of kDNA minicircle of all Leishmania spp, we obtained for Leishmania (viannia) lainsoni a major band of 605 bp (band 1) shared with L. V. braziliensis and a minor 524 bp band (band 2) specific of L. V. lainsoni. The specificity of the two bands was examined through Southern blot hybridization of kDNA PCR obtained from reference strains belonging to L. braziliensis, L. mexicana, L. donovani complexes with L. V. lainsoni species. Band 1 was not specific of L. V. lainsoni since it hybridized with some isolates belonging to L. braziliensis complex. In contrast, band 2 was L. V. lainsoni specific. PCR-based detection followed by hybridization with the new L. V. lainsoni probe (Band 2) and L. V. braziliensis probe (564 bp), was assayed using sample from a pool of 25 females of Lutzomiya nuneztovari anglesi, blood, skin and liver samples of 18 mammals, spinal cords of four mammals and blood and cutaneous ulcers aspirates from 95 patents from Sub Andean region of La Paz, Bolivia. We observed a ositive hybridization of four patients lesions and the pool of L. nuneztovari anglesi with the L. V. lainsoni probe. It is the first time that L. V. lainsoni is observed in a cycle of transmission in Bolivia. PCR products of three patients lesions and the pool of L. nuneztovari anglesi were also hybridized with the specific probe of L. V. braziliensis suggesting mixed infection in this focus.

Abstract
Silica accumulation in long-lived leaves of Sasa veitchii was investigated using the molybdenum blue method. In general, silica accumulation was rapid during spring and summer, and slow during winter. The leaves continuously accumulate silica throughout their life. The significance of these observations is discussed in relation to two hypotheses for silica accumulation in plants: (1) that silica accumulation is a result of water consumption by the plant: and (2) that silica is actively accumulated to protect the plant. The results of the present study support the former hypothesis.

Abstract
Factors affecting the stereochemical course of the intramolecular cycloaddition of intermediary alpha-allyloxycarbonylnitrone resulting from transesterification of alpha-methoxycarbonylnitrones 1a-d with chiral allyl alcohols 5 or 6 were investigated systematically. It was found that the factors of diastereofacial selection are highly dependent on the geometries of the allyl alcohols. In the cases where primary or secondary chiral (Z)-allyl alcohols are used, A(1,3)-strain arising from the chiralities in the (Z)-nitrone transition states of the intramolecular cycloaddtion is the most important factor. In contrast, in the case of the reaction using chiral nitrones 1c,d and (E)-allyl alcohols, steric interaction between the chiral N-substituent and the trans substituent of the olefin moiety in the intermediate is dominant. These aspects were applied to geometry-differentiated cycloaddition using a mixture of (E)-5 and (Z)-5. As a typical example, treatment of bulky 1b with a 1:1 mixture of (E)-5 and (Z)-5 in the presence of a catalytic amount of TiCl(4) and MS 4A gave 7b as the predominant product among four possible products.

Abstract
Optically pure (5R)- [and (5S)]-5,6-dihydro-5-phenyl-2H-1, 4-oxazin-2-one N-oxides [(5R)- and (5S)-2] were designed as chiral (E)-geometry-fixed alpha-alkoxycarbonylnitrones 1. The nitrones (5R)- and (5S)-2 were synthesized by three-step oxidation of (R)- and (S)-phenylglycinols [(R)- and (S)-3], condensation of the resulting (R)- and (S)-2-hydroxylamino-2-phenylethanols [(R)- and (S)-5] with glyoxylic acid, and cyclization of the intermediary nitrones (R)- and (S)-6b. The nitrone (5R)-2reacted with olefins 7-14 under mild conditions to afford the corresponding cycloadducts 15-22 as the main products via the least sterically demanding exo modes. Cycloadduct 30 obtained from (5S)-2 and cyclopentadiene was effectively elaborated to (1S,4S, 5R)-4-benzyloxycarbonylamino-2-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-7-en-3-one (28), the key synthetic intermediate of carbocyclic polyoxin C.

Abstract
RATIONALE MS-377 ((R)-(+)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-[4-(2-methoxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]me thyl-2- pyrrolidinone L-tartrate) was discovered as a new chemical entity with affinity for sigma receptors and without affinities for dopamine receptors. OBJECTIVE In the present study, we examined the antipsychotic profile of MS-377 in several in vitro and in vivo experiments. METHODS As in vitro assays, radioligand binding assays for sigma 1, sigma 2, D2 and 5-HT2 receptors were performed. As in vivo animal models, the effects of MS-377 on several behavioral models induced by phencyclidine (PCP), (+)-N-allylnormetazocine (NANM), apomorphine (Apo) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HTP) were evaluated. All assay systems were conducted using the clinically active antipsychotic agents as reference standards. RESULTS MS-377 displaced ligand bound to sigma 1 receptors in vitro. However, no such displacement was observed at sigma 2 or 5-HT2 receptors in vitro, or at D2 receptors either in vitro or in vivo. In behavioral studies, MS-377 inhibited both NANM- and PCP-induced head-weaving at low doses in mice and rats, whereas antipsychotic agents used in the present study were only effective against NANM-induced head-weaving behavior in mice. In addition, MS-377 antagonized Apo-induced climbing behavior and 5-HTP-induced head-twitching behavior in mice. MS-377 was inactive in models of extrapyramidal side effect (EPS) liability such as prevention of Apo-induced stereotypy and induction of catalepsy in rats. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated that MS-377 had not only anti-PCP activity but also anti-dopaminergic and anti-serotonergic activities in vivo, without acting directly through D2 or 5-HT2 receptors. Therefore, MS-377 could be a novel antipsychotic agent with clinical efficacy for overall symptoms of schizophrenia including its negative symptoms and without EPS liability.

Abstract
From 1986 through 1992, 144 patients with metastatic brain tumors of lung cancer were treated with X-ray irradiation to whole brain or a comparatively wide field of the brain. To identify the subset of patients indicated for boost therapy like a stereotactic radiotherapy, we have analyzed the treatment results concerning both survival and performance status (PS). Median survival time of the patients in good PS (0-2) was 6.7 months, which was significantly better than 2.3 months in poor PS (3-4). Complete tumor-resectability, age, steroid therapy and condition within two months after the beginning of brain irradiation, seemed to be important prognostic indicators correlated with PS by both univariate and multivariates analyses.

Abstract
Melanosomes of the stria vascularis in gentamycin (GM)-intoxicated guinea pigs were examined ultrastructurally. Experimental animals were given GM sulfate intramuscularly in a daily adjusted dose of 100 mg/kg for 15 consecutive days (group A), and 150 mg/kg for 5 consecutive days (group B). Melanosomes of the intermediate cells in group B significantly increased in number in comparison with those in group A and the control group. Melanosomes in the apical turn outnumbered those in the basal turn in all three groups. Cytochemically, Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity was also demonstrated in the marginal cells. There was little difference in the degree of enzyme activity between groups A, B and the control group. The role and significance of melanosomes of the stria vascularis are discussed.

Abstract
The activation of local mucosal immunity by Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 (CBM588) was investigated in germ-free mice. An increase of polyclonal IgA production in the small intestine or secretion into the intestinal lumen was observed in mice mono-associated with CBM588 and fed a diet containing killed vegetative cells of CBM588 (VCBM). However, fecal IgA of anti-CBM588 was rarely formed in mice administered CBM588 during 6 weeks from administration. Cholera toxin was administered orally to SPF mice fed a diet containing CBM588, and IgA secretion of anti-cholera toxin was enhanced in mice fed a VCBM diet. In addition, the production of IgA, IgM and IgG in Peyer's patch cell culture was increased in the presence of VCBM. These results suggest that oral administration of CBM588 stimulates polyclonal mucosal immune activity and shows adjuvant activity for anti-cholera toxin.

Abstract
The clinical effectiveness of doxycycline (DOXY) in the treatment of chlamydial infections was studied by giving it to 14 patients composed of 9 with nongonorrheal urethritis and 5 with cervicitis, all caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. DOXY was given in an oral dose of 100 mg twice daily for 4 to 19 days. The total dosage ranged from 800 to 3,800 mg. The overall clinical efficacy as assessed on the basis of both bacterial response and relief of subjective or objective symptoms was excellent in all of 12 evaluable patients. Two patients for whom we failed to perform postdose bacteriological examinations were excluded from evaluation. No side effect related to dosing of DOXY developed.
