Abstract
Caspases cleave over 1500 substrates in the human proteome in both lethal and non-lethal scenarios. However, reports of the physiological consequences of substrate cleavage are limited. Additionally, the manner in which caspase cleaves only a subset of substrates in the non-lethal scenario remains to be elucidated. BubR1, a spindle assembly checkpoint component, is a caspase substrate in humans, the physiological function of which remains unclear. Here, we found that caspases, especially Drice, cleave Drosophila BubR1 between the N-terminal KEN box motif and C-terminal kinase domain. By using proximity labelling, we found that Drice, but not Dcp-1, is in proximity to BubR1, suggesting that protein proximity facilitates substrate preference. The cleaved fragments displayed altered subcellular localization and protein-protein interactions. Flies that harboured cleavage-resistant BubR1 showed longer duration of BubR1 localization to the kinetochore upon colchicine treatment. Furthermore, these flies showed extended lifespan. Thus, we propose that the caspase-mediated cleavage of BubR1 limits spindle assembly checkpoint and organismal lifespan. Our results highlight the importance of the individual analysis of substrates in vivo to determine the biological significance of caspase-dependent non-lethal cellular processes.

Abstract
Treatment of blood blister-like aneurysm (BBA) is a challenge due to its unfavourable morphology, small size and the friable neck of BBA. In the management of ruptured BBA, coil placement can be achieved by stent-assisted coil embolisation. We propose to incorporate a new technique using a steam-shaped microcatheter to improve safety. A 59-year-old woman was transferred to our hospital and diagnosed with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) due to a ruptured BBA of the left internal carotid artery (ICA) at the C2 portion. For coil embolisation, we selected the aneurysm sac using a three-dimensional shaping technique and the jailing method. Post-embolisation angiography revealed complete occlusion of the aneurysmal sac. For safe treatment and stability of BBA, the shape of the catheter tip and the distal portion of the microcatheter are two important factors to consider. The proposed technique could help resolve the problem of catheter shaping in the treatment of BBA.

Abstract
Drosophila produce a constant number of mechanosensory bristles called macrochaetae (MC), which develop from sensory organ precursor (SOP) cells within a proneural cluster (PNC). However, what ensures the precise determination of SOP cells remains to be elucidated. In this study, we conducted RNAi screening in PNC for genes involved in epigenetic regulation. We identified a H3K9 histone methyltransferase, SETDB1/eggless, as a regulator of SOP development. Knockdown of SETDB1 in PNC led to additional SOPs. We further tested the relationship between SETDB1 and non-apoptotic function of caspase on SOP development. Reinforcing caspase activation by heterozygous Drosophila inhibitor of apoptosis protein 1 (DIAP1) mutation rescued ectopic SOP development caused by SETDB1 knockdown. Knockdown of SETDB1, however, had little effect on caspase activity. Simultaneous loss of SETDB1 and caspase activity resulted in further increase in MC, indicating that the two components work cooperatively. Our study suggests the fine-tuning mechanisms for SOP development by epigenetic methyltransferase and non-apoptotic caspase function.

Abstract
In spite of improvements in surgical technique and perioperative care, severe lung complication remains as the leading cause of morbidity in thoracic esophageal cancer patients who undergo esophagectomy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of postoperative drug therapy using low dose dopamine, gabexate mesilate, and ulinastatin on postoperative lung complication in esophageal cancer patients. Sixty-one patients operated for esophageal cancer from 1996 to 2000 were treated postoperatively with low dose dopamine (300 microg/kg/h), gabexate mesilate (80 mg/h), and ulinastatin (300 000 unit/day) as a study group. Seventy-four patients operated from 1987 to 1994 served as an historical control group. Various preoperative and perioperative medical parameters and water balance were analyzed. Postoperative pulmonary complications were observed in 26 patients (35.1%) in the control group and three patients (4.9%) in the study group, respectively (P < 0.0001). Preoperative and perioperative variables were not significantly different between the groups. Water balance from operation to postoperative day 3 in the study group was significantly lower than the control group. Postoperative use of low dose dopamine, gabexate mesilate, and ulinastatin significantly reduced pulmonary complications after esophagectomy. This may be partly attributable to negative water balance during the early postoperative days.

Abstract
We studied the effect of hyperthermia pretreatment on subsequent small intestinal ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) injury in the rat. Systemic hyperthermia has been reported to induce heat shock proteins (HSPs) in several organs [1-6]. We examined the expression of HSP72 in the small intestinal mucosa using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. We monitored energy metabolism using magnetic resonance spectroscopy continuously during a 60-min ischemia and the following 120 min of reperfusion. Expression of HSP72 in the small intestine was significantly increased at 6-8 h after hyperthermia. Intestinal ischemia was induced by clamping the superior mesenteric artery. Heating of the rat conferred substantial resistance to the I/R injury. In the untreated rats, beta-ATP decreased during ischemia (37.1 +/- 15.5% of the pre-ischemic value) and recovered on reperfusion, but reached only approximately 50% of the pre-ischemic value after 120 min of reperfusion. However, beta-ATP in the pretreated rats was maintained during ischemia at significantly higher levels and on reperfusion reached approximately 80% of the pre-ischemic value. These results indicate that hyperthermia protects the rat intestine from the I/R injury by unknown mechanisms which may include the induction of HSPs.

Abstract
Survivin, a new member of the inhibitor-of-apoptosis (IAP) family, has been reported to be expressed in many cancers but not in differentiated normal tissue. Its expression in esophageal cancer, however, has not been reported. We investigated 51 esophageal cancers and their adjacent normal epithelial tissues for mRNA expression of survivin by RT-PCR. The survivin expression in esophageal cancer tissue was significantly higher than that in normal esophageal tissue (0.211 +/- 0.226 vs. 0.057 +/- 0.135, p < 0.0001). pN4 tumors had significantly higher survivin expression than the pN0-3 tumors (p = 0.0093). Fourteen patients with advanced esophageal cancer had received chemotherapy prior to surgery. The survivin expression in the cancer tissue in patients who achieved a partial response (PR) was significantly lower than that in patients with no change (NC) and in patients with progressive disease (PD; 0.099 +/- 0.134 vs. 0.320 +/- 0.222, p = 0.0434). The median survival for patients with high survivin expression (9.0 months) was less than that for patients with low survivin group expression (30.0 months, p = 0.0023). Survivin expression was one of the significant predictors of survival on univariate analysis (hazard ratio 2.471; 95% confidence interval 1.104-5.533). The results suggest that survivin expression may provide prognostic information in patients with esophageal cancer.

Abstract
Patients with small cell carcinoma of the esophagus have a poor prognosis and have generally been treated by chemotherapy. However, all reported cases were at advanced stages. We need to establish an adequate treatment for patients with small cell carcinoma of the esophagus with invasion limited to the submucosal layer. In this paper, five cases of small cell carcinomas, which accounted for 2.8% of 180 surgically treated esophageal carcinomas, were reviewed for pathological findings, treatment, and outcome. Among three patients who had a small cell carcinoma of the esophagus with invasion limited to the submucosal layer, two patients survived for 7 and 9 years after surgery with no evidence of the disease. One of them was treated using surgery alone. Consequently, surgery may be considered as a possible choice of treatment for small cell carcinoma of the esophagus with invasion limited to the submucosa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carcinomas of the cervicothoracic esophagus frequently invade the trachea and complete removal of the tumor often requires mediastinal tracheostomy. Traditionally, this surgical management was associated with high morbidity and mortality. Several types of myoctaneous flaps have been used for mediastinal tracheostomy to reduce the complication. We present our experience with a new technique for construction of mediastinal tracheotomy after total laryngoesophagectomy and reconstruction with the stomach. METHODS The anterior chest wall was amply resected and the distal end of the trachea was placed low between the superior vena cava and aortic arch. We mobilized the entire omentum with the stomach and brought them up to the neck through the posterior mediastinum. The omentum was put around the trachea, main arteries, and the anastomosis. RESULTS Seven mediastinal tracheostomies were performed using this method. There was no hospital death. Complications included respiratory failure (2 patients) and pyothorax (1 patient). Anastomotic leakage and inominate artery rupture were not experienced. Postoperative survival was disease dependent. All patients were discharged with satisfactory oral food intake, good airway condition, and excellent cosmetic appearance. CONCLUSIONS We suggest the use of the omentum as a simple and reliable technique in constructing mediastinal tracheostomy following total laryngoesophagectomy for cervicothoracic esophageal cancer.

Abstract
To assess the safety of teicoplanin and vancomycin with respect to airway tissue, we evaluated whether these two antibiotics induce pulmonary tissue contraction and histamine release in human, monkey and guinea pig specimens in vitro. The effects of these drugs on the release of histamine from monkey blood leucocytes and mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC) were also studied. Neither teicoplanin nor vancomycin (10(-6)-10(-3) g/mL) induced contractions of guinea pig trachea or lung parenchyma. Similarly, these drugs induced no appreciable change in the resting tonus of cynomolgus monkey bronchus or lung parenchyma. The tonus of monkey trachea was not influenced by teicoplanin, whereas 10(-3) g/mL vancomycin caused contraction. The spontaneous tonus of human lung parenchyma was not altered by teicoplanin or vancomycin, and that of the bronchus was not influenced by teicoplanin; however, 10(-3) g/mL vancomycin elicited obvious contraction of the bronchus. Neither drug promoted the release of significant amounts of histamine from these pulmonary tissues or from monkey blood leucocytes and BMMC. These results suggest that, compared with vancomycin, teicoplanin may be associated with a lower risk of inducing bronchospasm when used for inhalation therapy.

Abstract
The course of panic disorder (PD) is often prolonged, but factors that affect the social outcome have not yet been made clear. The aim of this study was to find predictors of outcome for patients with PD. The subjects were 65 outpatients (28 men and 37 women) with PD (DSM-III-R) who were treated at our hospital for more than 1 year. The factors affecting 1-year outcome were evaluated by multiple regression analysis. We found that the following were predictors of poor social outcome in PD: (1) severe agoraphobia at the first psychiatric examination and (2) long duration of illness before the first psychiatric consultation. Furthermore, the complication of hypochondriacal symptoms predicted a poor outcome for PD. Early attention to agoraphobia and hypochondriasis is essential for the treatment of PD, and early introduction to psychiatric treatment is recommended.

Abstract
Recently, we reported a reproducible model of asthma in guinea-pigs in vivo, which developed a late asthmatic response (LAR) as well as an early response. In this study, time-related changes in the occurrence of the LAR and leucocyte kinesis were assessed. Furthermore, the state of the activation of eosinophils that migrated into the lower airways was characterized in vitro. Guinea-pigs were alternately sensitized/challenged by inhalation with aerosolized ovalbumin adsorbed on aluminium hydroxide and ovalbumin alone, once every 2 weeks. At defined times before and after the fifth challenge, airway resistance was measured, blood was drawn and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and nasal cavity lavage (NCL) were performed. Superoxide anion (.O2-) production of eosinophils was measured with cytochrome c. Occurrence of LAR and considerable increases in circulating eosinophils coincided with each other 5-7 h after the challenge. After 7 h, eosinophil infiltrations into bronchoalveolar spaces were observed. The capacity of eosinophils from the sensitized animals to produce .O2- was higher than those from the non-sensitized ones, when eosinophils were stimulated by platelet-activating factor. Although an increased number of eosinophils in the NCL fluid was observed, it was much less than that in the BAL fluid. Thus, it has been concluded that eosinophilia in the blood and the lung may participate in the occurrence of the late asthmatic response, which is thought to be preferentially evoked in the lower airways in guinea-pigs in vivo.

Guinea-pigs were alternately sensitized/challenged by inhalation with aerosolized ovalbumin adsorbed on aluminium hydroxide and ovalbumin alone, once every 2 weeks. At defined times before and after the fifth challenge, airway resistance was measured, blood was drawn and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and nasal cavity lavage (NCL) were performed. Superoxide anion (.O2-) production of eosinophils was measured with cytochrome c. Occurrence of LAR and considerable increases in circulating eosinophils coincided with each other 5-7 h after the challenge. After 7 h, eosinophil infiltrations into bronchoalveolar spaces were observed. The capacity of eosinophils from the sensitized animals to produce .O2- was higher than those from the non-sensitized ones, when eosinophils were stimulated by platelet-activating factor. Although an increased number of eosinophils in the NCL fluid was observed, it was much less than that in the BAL fluid. Thus, it has been concluded that eosinophilia in the blood and the lung may participate in the occurrence of the late asthmatic response, which is thought to be preferentially evoked in the lower airways in guinea-pigs in vivo.

Abstract
To develop a model of chronic experimental asthma in guinea pigs, the animal was forced to inhale the mist of a low dose of ovalbumin (OA) adsorbed on fine Al(OH)3 for sensitization once every 4 weeks. The animal was challenged by inhalation with the mist of OA on day 14 after the respective sensitizations. Either the first or the second antigen challenge markedly induced an early asthmatic response (EAR), whereas there was hardly any late asthmatic response (LAR). At the 3rd challenge, LAR also emerged with some severity. These dual responses were consistently observed until the 10th challenge. On the other hand, repeated inhalation/challenge, once every 2 weeks, with OA alone at the same dose tended to lead to the desensitization of the EAR. In addition, LAR was hardly observed throughout the experiments. In both groups, gamma 1 and IgE levels in the serum were elevated by the repetitive antigen inhalations, yet no obvious relationship between these antibody levels and the intensity of either EAR or LAR was recognized. The present results indicate that the asthmatic model with reproducible EAR and LAR developed in this study appears to be very beneficial for the investigation of bronchial asthma and for the assessment of anti-asthma drugs.

Abstract
The relationship between coronary vasospasticity and the development of atherosclerotic lesion was studied in 24 patients with vasospastic angina. All patients had no organic stenosis initially and underwent follow-up coronary angiography at 66 +/- 9 months after the initial examination. The coronary artery diameter was measured with the contour detection method. The spastic and non-spastic sites were identified at the initial coronary angiography with the acetylcholine provocation test. The change of the luminal diameter (delta LD) and the ratio of the change of luminal diameter (% delta LD) were compared at the spastic and the non-spastic sites. The follow-up examination showed significant decreases of coronary artery diameter in both the spastic (2.35 +/- 0.67 vs 2.16 +/- 0.58 mm, p < 0.001) and non-spastic sites (2.66 +/- 0.91 vs 2.54 +/- 0.84 mm, p = 0.02). However, delta LD and % delta LD were not different between the spastic and non-spastic sites (delta LD: -0.19 +/- 0.40 vs -0.12 +/- 0.46 mm, NS; % delta LD: -6.7 +/- 14.8% vs -3.2 +/- 17.0%, NS). In conclusion, coronary vasospasticity does not promote the development of atherosclerotic lesion.

Abstract
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with n-isopropyl-p-[123I]iodoamphetamine (IMP) was performed on 20 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Fifteen of the patients showed areas of hypoperfusion. All nine patients who had florid psychiatric manifestations at the time the SPECT was performed had hypoperfusion areas. Four patients who had abnormal SPECT findings during psychiatric remission had psychiatric exacerbation one to six months after the SPECT. Four patients who had no hypoperfusion during psychiatric remission had good psychiatric prognoses. Two patients who had no history of psychiatric abnormality but showed hypoperfusion had psychiatric manifestations one month after the SPECT. The IMP-SPECT may be useful as a biological marker that represents the activity of cerebral involvement underlying psychiatric manifestations and the presence of subclinical CNS involvement.

Abstract
A good correlation was observed between enhanced lung cancer risk and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of the P450IA1 gene with the restriction enzyme MspI. Genotype frequencies of 0.49 for the predominant homozygote, 0.40 for the heterozygote, and 0.11 for the homozygous rare allele were observed in a healthy population. Among lung cancer patients, the frequency of homozygous rare allele of P450IA1 gene was found to be about 3-fold higher than that among healthy population, and this difference was statistically significant. This is the first report to identify the genetically high risk individuals to lung cancer at the gene level.

Abstract
In considering factors that might influence measurement of free thyroxin (T4), we evaluated the proportion (%) of T4 that could be stripped from thyroxin-binding globulin (TBG). The percentage of free T4 was measured in serially diluted sera from four normal subjects, four patients with hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, four pregnant women, and four malnourished subjects with low TBG. The critical percentage of stripping was determined by the product of the percentage free T4 and the critical dilution factor (the point where the percentage free T4 began to decrease). The mean values obtained for the respective patient groups--6.38%, 2.76%, 16.73%, 9.75%, and 4.28%--were proved to be related to the rate of saturation of TBG with T4. Values for percentage stripping determined with the "GammaCoat two-step RIA" and the "LiquiSol RIA" were well within the critical percentage stripping by equilibrium dialysis, except in the case of low-TBG serum as measured by LiquiSol RIA. Free T4 concentration as measured by LiquiSol RIA decreased as sample volume decreased. These findings were ascribed to the relatively high values for percentage stripping in the LiquiSol RIA, which led to erroneously low values for free T4.

Abstract
The interaction between thyroxine (T4) and thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG) was examined in the serum of pregnant subjects and compared with that in normal serum. Serum T4, TBG capacity, and serum albumin concentrations were measured in serum from six normal and five pregnant subjects. The percent of free T4 (% free T4) was also measured by equilibrium dialysis against veronal buffer in which T4-binding by TBPA was completely abolished. Calculated values for the net equilibrium constant for the binding of T4 to TBG (KTBG) were significantly lower in serum from pregnant subjects (1.18 x 10(10) M-1) than in that from normal subjects (1.65 x 10(10) M-1). To assess the possibility that these findings were due to the presence of a dialyzable inhibitor of T4-binding in the serum from pregnant subjects, serum from normal subjects was dialyzed against that from pregnant subjects. In addition, serum from pregnant subjects was dialyzed against normal serum. KTBG was not altered after dialysis and no evidence of a dialyzable inhibitor of binding was found. The data suggest, therefore, that the TBG in the serum of pregnant women may have a lesser intrinsic affinity for T4 than that in normal serum.

Abstract
Serum ferritin level was evaluated as a marker for estimating the effect of the radiotherapy. The ferritin level was determined by a radioimmunoassay (SPAC ferritin kit) in sera obtained serially from 37 patients with various malignant neoplasma before and after radiotherapy. The changes in the ferritin level were investigated in comparison with various clinical findings. The decision for significant changes in the ferritin level was made by the sensitivity which is a difference value necessary to discriminate 2 values at confidence level of 95%. Out of 11 cases with clinical evidence of distant metastasis, the ferritin level was decreased in only one case (9%) and increased or unchanged in the rest. On the other hand, out of 26 cases without evidence of metastasis it was decreased in 9 cases (35%) and unchanged in 12 cases (46%). The ferritin level was either decreased (64%) or unchanged (36%) in all the 11 cases with operation prior to radiotherapy, while out of 26 cases without operation (inoperable) it was decreased in only 3 cases (12%). In all 5 cases with radiosensitive tumors as judged by tumor size the ferritin level was either decreased (40%) or unchanged (60%). Out of 28 cases with radioresistant tumors it was decreased in only 4 cases (14%). All of these results indicated that serial measurements of the ferritin level is usefull for estimating the therapeutic effectiveness in radiotherapy.
