Abstract
The activation of natural killer (NK) cells in the liver inhibits engraftment of intraportally transplanted islets. We attempted to modulate the activity of NK cells by cotransplanting mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with islets in mice. We first investigated the ability of MSCs to secrete prostaglandin E2 , a predominant inhibitor of NK cell function, in various combinations of inflammatory cytokines. Notably, we found that prostaglandin E2 production was partially delayed in MSCs activated by inflammatory cytokines in vitro, whereas liver NK cells were activated early after islet transplant in vivo. Accordingly, preactivated MSCs, but not naive MSCs, substantially suppressed the expression of activation markers in liver NK cells after cotransplant with islets. Similarly, cotransplant with preactivated MSCs, but not naive MSCs, markedly improved the survival of islet grafts. These results highlight MSC cotransplant as an effective and clinically feasible method for enhancing engraftment efficiency.

Abstract
Ulinastatin vaginal suppositories, used to prevent threatened premature delivery, are frequently used in hospitals. However, there is no established method for quantifying ulinastatin contained in suppositories. Therefore, we investigated a simple and efficient method for quantifying ulinastatin contained in suppositories. Our analytical method involved removal of the base; optimising the enzyme inhibition reaction time and enzyme reaction time; and measuring the absorbance. The modified method was reproducible, operation time was significantly shortened, and cost was reduced to approximately 1/17 of that of the previously reported method. This simple and rapid quantitative method could contribute to the improvement of quality control of ulinastatin vaginal suppositories as an extemporaneous hospital preparation.

Abstract
AIM We investigated the chemotherapy effect of resectable colorectal cancer with liver metastasis (CRLM) on the function of intrahepatic immune cells. METHODS We classified patients into adjuvant chemotherapy (bevacizumab+CapeOX) after hepatectomy group (group A) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by hepatectomy group (group B), and collected peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and liver mononuclear cells (LMNC) to ascertain phenotypic and functional differences. RESULTS There were no significant differences in lymphocyte fractions of either PBMC or LMNC between groups, except for the significantly lower percentage of natural killer (NK) cells in LMNC in group B than in group A. Significantly higher percentage of natural-killer group 2, member D (NKG2D)- positive NK cells in PBMC and percentage of tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-, NKp30-, and signal regulatory protein β (SIRPβ)-positive NK cells in LMNC were found in group B. Furthermore, significantly higher expressions of NKG2D and SIRPβ in peripheral blood NK cells and of NKp46 and CD122 in liver NK cells were found in group B. When LMNC were incubated with interleukin (IL)-2 in vitro, no difference was observed in the expression of these molecules in NK cells between groups. Consistently, there was no difference in the cytotoxic activity of those LMNC against a colon adenocarcinoma cell line between groups. CONCLUSION Colorectal cancer with liver metastasis patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy showed enhanced expression of activation markers on peripheral blood and liver NK cells in comparison with patients who did not receive therapy; however, the difference in those function remains unclear. These results suggest that neoadjuvant chemotherapy does not have a negative impact on intrahepatic immune cells in resectable CRLM patients.

Abstract
Background: Endocrine therapy is the most important treatment option for women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer. We recently reported that approximately two-thirds of patients who relapsed within 5 years had received anthracyclins and/or taxanes as adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy in addition to adjuvant endocrine therapy. New strategies, such as signal transduction inhibitors together with endocrine therapy are required to improve survival. PIK3CA mutations are detected in almost 40% of early ER-positive breast cancers, and are therefore the most frequent genetic alterations in this subtype. PIK3CA mutation status is reported to affect activation of AKT and ERα. Moreover, recent studies demonstrate that patients had a better prognosis when tumors expressed ER, androgen receptor (AR), and vitamin D receptor (VDR).
Methods: Expression of AR and VDR, phosphorylation of AKT serine (Ser) 473 (AKT phospho-Ser473) and ERα Ser167 (ERα phospho-Ser167) were examined by immunohistochemistry in ER-positive, HER2-negative early breast cancer tissues. Seventeen mutations in exons 1, 4, 7, 9, and 20 of the PIK3CA gene were detected in genomic DNA extracted from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor blocks. Correlations between these biological markers and clinicopathological factors and prognosis were analyzed separately in pre- and postmenopausal women.
Results: Levels of AKT phospho-Ser473 were significantly higher in premenopausal women (n = 62) than in postmenopausal women (n = 152) (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.014, respectively). In contrast, expression levels of AR were significantly higher in postmenopausal women than in premenopausal women (P < 0.0001). In premenopausal women, 26 tumors (43%) had a single mutation of PIK3CA gene, and 3 tumors (5%) had mutations at two sites. In postmenopausal women, 64 tumors (44%) had a single PIK3CA mutation, 6 tumors (4%) had mutations at two sites, and one tumor (1%) had mutations at three sites. In premenopausal women, wild type PIK3CA was associated with smaller tumor size, higher ER expression levels, and lower AR expression levels when compared with women in the same cohort with PIK3CA mutant tumors. In postmenopausal women, patients with PIK3CA wild-type tumors had higher Ki67 labeling index, higher AKT phospho-Ser473, and lower ERα phospho-Ser167 when compared to patients with PIK3CA mutant tumors. Postmenopausal women with PIK3CA wild-type tumors had significantly worse disease-free survival than patients with PIK3CA mutant tumors (P = 0.007). In contrast, PIK3CA mutation status was not correlated with survival in premenopausal women. Low levels of AKT phospho-Ser473 and high levels of ERα phospho-Ser167 were strongly associated with increased disease-free survival in postmenopausal women (P = 0.016 and P = 0.0016, respectively).
Conclusion: ERα activation, in addition to PIK3CA mutation, may be biomarkers for highly endocrine-responsive tumors. This would facilitate the selection of postmenopausal ER-positive breast cancer patients who are likely to benefit from endocrine therapy alone from those who are not.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1(ALDH1) is known to be cancer stem cell marker. Also, tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are known to be prognostic factor for triple negative breast cancer. It is reported that these factors have the correlation with chemosensitivity. Meanwhile, the late recurrence (LRec; 5 years after primary surgery) of ER positive breast cancer is the major problem. Significance of expressions of ALDH1 and TILs in primary tumor as predictive factors for late recurrence in ER positive, HER2 negative breast cancer is still unknown.
Methods: ER-positive, and HER2-negative breast cancer patients who underwent surgery or received neoadjuvant chemotherapy between January 2000 and December 2004 were registered from nine institutes belonging the Collaborative Study Group of Scientific Research of the Japanese Breast Cancer Society. For each LRec patient, approximately two matched control patients without relapse for more than ten years were selected. Expression of ALDH1 was assessed by immunohistochemistry. Positive ALDH1 was defined as tumor including more than 1% cancer cells with ALDH1 expression. TIL was assessed by single whole section according to Denkert's definition. A tumor showing high ki67 and/or low PgR expressions was categorized into Luminal B-like group.
Results: 639 patients (184 with early recurrence (ERec), 134 with LRec and 321 with no recurrence (NoRec)) were analyzed. The rates of positive ALDH1 in ERec, LRec and NoRec groups were 18%, 13% and 8%, respectively. ALDH1 positivity was significantly higher in ERec compared with NoRec group (p<0.01). There was no significant difference between LRec and NoRec group (p=0.12). Positive ALDH1 showed significantly shorter DFS and OS in multivariate analyses (DFS: p=0.03, OS: p<0.01). Especially, that was the significantly prognostic factor in the Luminal B like tumor with adjuvant or neoadjuvant chemotherapy (p=0.01), but not in those without any chemotherapy (p=0.53). High TILs in ERec, LRec and NoRec was 1.1%, 1.5% and 3.7%, respectively. There was no significant difference among three recurrent groups (p=0.13). High TILs was not significantly associated with DFS (p=0.09) and OS (p=0.72). However, there was significant correlation between High TILs and DFS in Luminal B like group (p=0.04) and ALDH1-negative group (p=0.02).
Conclusion: In ER-positive, and HER2-negative breast cancer, ALDH1 was an independent prognostic factor (a predictor of ERec, but not LRec). ALDH1 might be a predictor of benefit from chemotherapy in Luminal B like subtype. TILs was neither a predictor of ERec nor LRec. However, significance of TILs as prognostic factor might differ depending on subtypes and cancer stemness.

Abstract
Tying-up syndrome, also known as recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis in Thoroughbreds, is a common muscle disorder for racehorses. In this study, we performed a multipoint linkage analysis using LOKI based on the Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo method using 5 half-sib families (51 affected and 277 nonaffected horses in total), and a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using microsatellites (144 affected and 144 nonaffected horses) to map candidate regions for tying-up syndrome in Japanese Thoroughbreds. The linkage analysis identified one strong L-score (82.45) between the loci UCDEQ411 and COR058 (24.9-27.9 Mb) on ECA12. The GWAS identified two suggestive genomic regions on ECA12 (24.9-27.8 Mb) and ECA20 (29.3-33.5 Mb). Based on both results, the genomic region between UCDEQ411 and TKY499 (24.9-27.8 Mb) on ECA12 was the most significant and was considered as a candidate region for tying-up syndrome in Japanese Thoroughbreds.

Abstract
It is important to determine the immunological properties for the maintenance of health. We chose the Shikoku Walking Pilgrimage to assess the proper biomarkers for the evaluation of immunological properties. We examined whether the Shikoku Walking Pilgrimage could have a positive effect on the mental and physical health of walking participants by using several biomarkers proposed by our laboratory. Twelve non-randomized healthy male volunteers including 3 twice attendees walked the Shikoku Walking Pilgrimage distance of 58.9 km over 3 days. Plasma, serum, urine, and saliva were collected from the volunteers during the pilgrimage and at 1 week before and after it. Immunological biomarkers, including lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, immune function, and catecholamines, were measured. Additionally, mood state scores, alertness, autonomic nervous system activity, and body motion levels during sleep were assessed. A significant decrease was observed in the subjective tension-anxiety levels and in the concentrations of serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, plasma hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (HODE), and urine adrenaline during the pilgrimage as compared to the values of these parameters before the participants embarked on the pilgrimage. The serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were significantly increased 1 week after the pilgrimage relative to those assessed previously. No significant differences in subjective fatigue and the flicker perception threshold were observed. These results suggest that the Shikoku Walking Pilgrimage can exert a positive effect on mental and physical health as particularly shown in the reduction of tensionanxiety and oxidative stress without the accompaniment of fatigue. HODE correlated significantly with typical immunological marker natural killer cell activity and immunoglobulin G. This suggests that there are promising biomarkers such as HODE, NK activity, BDNF, LDL-c, and IgG for assessing the immunological properties.

Abstract
We report a patient with advanced gastric cancer responding remarkably to neoadjuvant chemotherapy consisting of weekly paclitaxel. The patient was a 50-year-old male who had large advanced gastric cancer, suspected of invasion to the duodenum and pancreas and severe lymph node metastasis [cT4 (pancreas), cN2, cH0, cP0, cM0, cStage IV]. He was treated with weekly paclitaxel as neoadjuvant chemotherapy. According to gastroscope and CT findings, a significant tumor reduction was obtained after 3 courses. Therefore, distal gastrectomy with D2 nodal dissection were performed. The histological diagnosis was pT2, pN2, pStage IIIA, and the histological effect of the main tumor was judged to be Grade 2. The patient has now been in good health without recurrence for 3 years after surgery. This case suggests that neoadjuvant chemotherapy with weekly paclitaxel is a potentially effective regimen for advanced gastric cancer.

Abstract
SUMMARY The main component of the metabolic by-products of fermentation by Propionibacterium freudenreichii ET-3 is 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA), which has a naphthoquinone skeleton, as in vitamin K2. This study showed that DHNA improved bone mass reduction with osteoporosis model mice caused by FK506. INTRODUCTION Growth of the intestinal bacterium Lactobacillus bifidus is specifically facilitated by DHNA. The present study used osteoporosis model mice to investigate the effects of DHNA on bone remodeling. METHODS FK506, an immunosuppressant, was used to prepare osteoporosis model mice. Thirty mice were divided into three groups: FK group, FK+DHNA group, and control group. In the FK group, FK506 was administered to induce bone mass reduction. In the FK-DHNA group, FK506 and DHNA were administered concurrently to observe improvements in bone mass reduction. To ascertain systemic and local effects of DHNA, we investigated systemic pathological changes in colon, kidney function and cytokine dynamics, and morphological and organic changes in bone and osteoclast dynamics as assessed by culture experiments. RESULTS Compared to the FK group without DHNA, colon damage and kidney dysfunction were milder for FK+DHNA group, and production of inflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha) was more suppressed. Furthermore, compared to the group without DHNA, histological analyses and radiography showed that bone resorption was suppressed for the DHNA group. Culture experiments using osteoclasts from murine bone marrow showed osteoclast suppression for the DHNA group compared to the group without DHNA. CONCLUSION These results show that DHNA has some effects for improving bone mass reduction caused by FK506.

Abstract
Disseminated mucocutaneous herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection in an immunocompetent person is quite rare. A 19-year-old healthy Japanese woman presented with painful, umbilicated vesicles and pustules on her genital region, both nipples and on the forearm 10 days after the last sexual contact with her partner who had cold sore at that time. Tzanck test and biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of disseminated mucocutaneous HSV infection. She did not have any visceral HSV disease. Skin lesions improved after treatment with acyclovir and erythromycin for seven days. We propose that like herpes gladiatorum, HSV dissemination in this case was acquired by close body contact.

Abstract
A 28-year-old Japanese man presented with grouped erosions and vesicles on an erythematous base affecting the right areola and the surrounding skin. A Tzanck smear from the vesicle revealed giant cells. An initial clinical diagnosis of mammary herpes simplex was considered but to explore the differential diagnosis, viral DNA was amplified by the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method. DNA replication was observed only in varicella zoster virus LAMP mixture, and this confirmed a diagnosis of herpes zoster. The patient was treated with 3000 mg of daily oral valacyclovir for seven days. After antiviral treatment, the lesion had healed and the pain had resolved completely.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolaevulinic acid (5-ALA) is a noninvasive and effective treatment for superficial skin cancers. Etretinate, a derivate of vitamin A, with the chemical formula ethyl(2E,4E,6E,8E)-9-(4-methoxy-2,3,6-trimethylphenyl)-3,7-dimethyl-2,4,6,8-nona-tetraenoate, has been reported to have antitumour effects and to regulate the proliferation and differentiation of skin cancers. OBJECTIVE In order to develop more efficient PDT, we investigated whether etretinate enhanced the cytotoxic action of ALA-based PDT against human squamous cell carcinoma cell line, HSC-5. METHOD The in vitro cytotoxicity was measured using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Apoptotic cells were detected by double-staining with fluorescent annexin V and propidium iodide. Intracellular protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) converted from exogenous ALA was measured by a fluorescence meter. RESULTS HSC-5 cells pretreated with a nontoxic concentration of etretinate became more susceptible to the cytotoxic action of ALA-based PDT. Etretinate-pretreated cells underwent apoptosis in response to ALA-based PDT. Etretinate pretreatment resulted in enhanced accumulation of ALA-dependent intracellular PpIX. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that etretinate enhances the susceptibility of HSC-5 cells to ALA-based PDT via the intracellular increase of ALA-dependent PpIX. Etretinate might be useful for improvement of ALA-based PDT.

Abstract
Disruptions of circadian rhythms are associated with the development of many disorders. However, whether a disruption of the circadian clock can cause anomalies of the hemostatic balance remains unknown. The present study examines coagulation and fibrinolytic activities in circadian clock mutants, a homozygous Clock mutant and Cry1/Cry2 double knockout (Cry1/2-deficient) mice. The euglobulin clot lysis time (ELT) showed circadian variations that peaked at 21:00 (early night) in wild-type mice, suggesting that fibrinolytic activity is lowest at this time. The ELT was continuously reduced in Clock mutants, while the ELT was significantly increased and did not differ between day and night (9:00 and 21:00) in Cry1/2-deficient mice. The prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial prothrombin time (APTT) were constant in all genotypes. To identify which factors cause the loss of ELT rhythm, we measured fibrinolytic parameters in Clock mutant and Cry1/2-deficient mice. The robust circadian fluctuation of plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) that peaked at early night was damped to trough levels in Clock mutant mice. On the other hand, PAI-1 levels in Cry1/2-deficient mice remained equivalent to the peak levels of those in wild-type mice at both 9:00 and 21:00. Circadian changes in plasma PAI-1 levels seemed to be regulated at the level of gene expression, because the plasma PAI-1 levels in Clock mutant and Cry1/2-deficient mice were closely correlated with the level of PAI-1 mRNA transcript in these mice. Plasma plasminogen and hepatic mRNA levels were not rhythmic in wild-type mice, and continuously higher in Clock mutant than in wild-type or Cry1/2-deficient mice. In contrast, the activity and mRNA levels of tissue type plasminogen activator (t-PA), plasma levels and mRNA levels of plasminogen, and plasma levels of alpha2 plasmin inhibitor (alpha2PI) in all genotypes were constant throughout the day. Coagulation parameters such as factor VII, factor X, prothrombin and fibrinogen remained constant throughout the day, and were not affected by clock gene mutations. These results suggest that circadian clock molecules play an important role in hemostatic balance by regulating the fibrinolytic systems.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increased level of obesity-induced plasma plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. AIM The present study investigates whether the circadian clock component CLOCK is involved in obesity-induced PAI-1 elevation. METHODS We examined plasma PAI-1 and mRNA expression levels in tissues from leptin-deficient obese and diabetic ob/ob mice lacking functional CLOCK protein. RESULTS Our results demonstrated that plasma PAI-1 levels were augmented in a circadian manner in accordance with the mRNA expression levels in ob/ob mice. Surprisingly, a Clock mutation normalized the plasma PAI-1 concentrations in accordance with the mRNA levels in the heart, lung and liver of ob/ob mice, but significantly increased PAI-1 mRNA levels in adipose tissue by inducing adipocyte hypertrophy in ob/ob mice. The Clock mutation also normalized tissue PAI-1 antigen levels in the liver but not in the adipose tissue of ob/ob mice. CONCLUSION These observations suggest that CLOCK is involved in obesity-induced disordered fibrinolysis by regulating PAI-1 gene expression in a tissue-dependent manner. Furthermore, it appears that obesity-induced PAI-1 production in adipose tissue is not closely related to systemic PAI-1 increases in vivo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is associated with an excess risk of cardiac events, and one risk factor for infarction is an elevated level of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). OBJECTIVES AND METHODS To evaluate whether the glucocorticoid hormones are involved in the diabetes-induced PAI-1 production, we examined expression profiles of PAI-1 mRNA in adrenalectomized (ADX) mice with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes. RESULTS The diabetes-induced augmentation of plasma PAI-1 levels and PAI-1 mRNA expression in the heart and lungs was completely normalized in diabetic ADX mice. The glucocorticoid receptor antagonist RU486 significantly, but only partly suppressed PAI-1 induction in STZ-induced diabetic mice, suggesting that factors other than glucocorticoids are also involved in PAI-1 induction provoked by diabetes. CONCLUSION Our results suggested that the adrenal gland plays a critical role in the progression of thrombosis in diabetic patients by inducing expression of the PAI-1 gene.

Abstract
The genetic relationships of seven Japanese and four mainland-Asian horse populations, as well as two European horse populations, were estimated using data for 20 microsatellite loci. Mongolian horses showed the highest average heterozygosities (0.75-0.77) in all populations. Phylogenetic analysis showed the existence of three distinct clusters supported by high bootstrap values: the European cluster (Anglo-Arab and thoroughbreds), the Hokkaido-Kiso cluster, and the Mongolian cluster. The relationships of these clusters were consistent with their geographical distributions. Basing our assumptions on the phylogenetic tree and the genetic variation of horse populations, we suggest that Japanese horses originated from Mongolian horses migrating through the Korean Peninsula. The genetic relationship of Japanese horses corresponded to their geographical distribution. Microsatellite polymorphism data were shown to be useful for estimating the genetic relationships between Japanese horses and Asian horses.

Abstract
We have previously reported that clock mutant mice on Jcl:ICR background show about 2-h delayed circadian profiles in body temperature, spontaneous activity and sleep-wake rhythm, and that they appear to be useful as a model of evening-type of individual. Hippocampal acetylcholine (ACh) release which is positively correlated with attention, learning and memory shows a circadian variation. In this study, changes in hippocampal ACh release in transitional phase from light (rest) to dark (active) period in clock mutant mice were monitored using an in vivo microdialysis method. Compared with wild mice, the increase in hippocampal ACh in the first 2 h of the active period in the mutant mice was suppressed in parallel with peak frequency in electroencephalogram theta rhythm. The molecular basis of the circadian system appears to have a strong effect on hippocampal cholinergic function, and is probably associating with individual temporal differences in voluntary behavior, cognition, learning and/or memory performance.

Abstract
It has been reported that a small decrease in the strain in the superficial digital flexor tendon (SDFT) occurs if the toe is raised during walking. Although walking on a slope appears similar to raising the toe, it is unclear whether uphill exercise decreases the strain in the SDFT. Because the force or strain on tendons is one of the important factors leading to tendon stress injury, we hypothesised that reducing the force in the SDFT during exercise may prevent tendinitis. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of treadmill inclination on the force in the SDFT in the walking horse. 'Arthroscopically implantable force probes' (AIFP) were implanted into the SDFT of the forelimb of 4 horses. The AIFP output was recorded during walking on a treadmill inclined at 0%, 3%, 8% and then 0% again. When the inclination increased from 0 to 8%, the first peak of force in the SDFT decreased significantly, the second increased significantly, but the maximal force and the area under the force-time curve did not change. In conclusion, uphill walking on an inclined treadmill did not decrease the maximal force in the SDFT or the area under the force-time curve, however, the patterns of force were altered. Future research should focus on the force distributions of tendons and ligaments at faster gaits, because the effects of a change in hoof angle and slope may be greater at faster gaits.

Abstract
An 80-year-old female was admitted with sudden onset of back pain and hemoptysis. The diagnosis was ruptured descending aortic aneurysm with the left lung hematoma. Emergency operation was performed. The graft replacement of the ruptured descending thoracic aneurysm and left lower lobectomy was done. She was extubated on the 1st postoperative day. The postoperative course was uneventful without pulmonary and graft complications. We thought that concomitant left lower lobectomy was useful in this patient.

Abstract
An FMN-dependent NADH-azoreductase of Escherichia coli was purified and analyzed for identification of the gene responsible for azo reduction by microorganisms. The N-terminal sequence of the azoreductase conformed to that of the acpD gene product, acyl carrier protein phosphodiesterase. Overexpression of the acpD gene provided the E. coli with a large amount of the 23-kDa protein and more than 800 times higher azoreductase activity. The purified gene product exhibited activity corresponding to that of the native azoreductase. The reaction followed a ping-pong mechanism requiring 2 mol of NADH to reduce 1 mol of methyl red (4'-dimethylaminoazobenzene-2-carboxylic acid) into 2-aminobenzoic acid and N,N'-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine. On the other hand, the gene product could not convert holo-acyl carrier protein into the apo form under either in vitro or in vivo conditions. These data indicate that the acpD gene product is not acyl carrier protein phosphodiesterase but an azoreductase.

Abstract
A rabbit model was used to examine the effects of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) on development of intimal hyperplasia following balloon injury. Thirty-two hereditary hypercholesterolemic (KHC) rabbits underwent percutaneous transluminal coronary artery balloon catheterization and injury to the common iliac artery, after which they were divided into four groups: untreated (control); Dispatch catheterized-30 minutes local saline delivery [D(+)-tPA(-)]; D(+)-30 minutes local tPA delivery (0.6 mg/kg) [D(+)-tPA(30 min)]; and D(+)-30 minutes local tPA + 3 days intravenous infusion (0.6 mg/kg/24 h) [(D(+)-tPA(30 min + 3 d)]. Twenty-eight days later, the intimal cross-sectional areas of all three Dispatch catheterized groups were significantly smaller than those of control groups, as were the intimal/medial area ratios. Moreover, the intima/media ratios of the D(+)-tPA(30 min + 3 d) group were significantly smaller than those of the D(+)-tPA(-) group. Thus, local delivery of tPA via Dispatch catheters followed by continuous intravenous infusion of tPA for 3 days prevented intimal hyperplasia after angioplasty.

Abstract
The SCF complex is a type of ubiquitin ligase that consists of the invariable components SKP1, CUL1, and RBX1 as well as a variable component, known as an F-box protein, that is the main determinant of substrate specificity. The Caenorhabditis elegans F-box- and WD40-repeat-containing protein SEL-10 functionally and physically associates with LIN-12 and SEL-12, orthologues of mammalian Notch and presenilin, respectively. We have now identified a gene (which we call Fbxw6) that encodes a mouse homologue (F-box-WD40 repeat protein 6, or FBW6) of SEL-10 and is expressed mainly in brain, heart, and testis. Co-immunoprecipitation analysis showed that FBW6 interacts with SKP1 and CUL1, indicating that these three proteins form an SCF complex. Comparison of the genomic organization of Fbxw6, which is located on mouse chromosome 3.3E3, with that of mouse Fbxw1, Fbxw2, and Fbxw4 showed only a low level of similarity, indicating that these genes diverged relatively early and thereafter evolved independently.

Abstract
UNLABELLED We evaluated the surgical results of postinfarction ventricular septal perforation by endocardial patch with infarction exclusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed 8 patients complicating AMI who underwent surgical treatment at our institution from July 1997 to August 2000 (6 males, 2 females, mean age 73.9 +/- 9, range 57-87). The localization of AMI and VSP was anterior in 6 patients, inferior in 2. All patients had coronary angiography preoperatively. And 7 patients had the percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty of the infarct artery. RESULTS There were 2 hospital deaths due to cerebral infarction and pulmonary hemorrhage. All deaths occurred in patients with cardiogenic shock. CONCLUSION Good results were obtained by infarction exclusion technique. Better operative results may be expected with the preoperative coronary angioplasty of the infarct artery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Median sternotomy has become the most commonly used incision in cardiac surgery. Since sternal dehiscence, however, is a major complication, we used bioabsorbable poly-L-lactide (P-L-LA) sternal coaptation pins for sternal closure to prevent it. METHODS From February 1998 to October 1999, 99 patients (64 men, 35 women; mean age, 63+/-1.2 years) underwent median sternotomy for cardiac surgery using sternal coaptation pins. Nineteen patients had diabetes mellitus and seven had renal failure. In closure, two sternal pins were inserted into the bone marrow of the sternum, one into the manubrium, the other into the body, and the sternum was sutured with five stainless steel wires. RESULTS Five patients died in the hospital. The causes of death were cardiac failure in two patients, respiratory problem in two and perforation of the stomach in one. The average length of hospitalization was 2 4.5+/-2.5 days. Sternal dehiscence occurred in one patient and mediastinitis in four. There was no bleeding from the bone marrow and no complication related to the use of the sternal pins. CONCLUSIONS P-L-LA sternal pins were easy to insert and may be effective in preventing dehiscence of the sternum.

Abstract
Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration and growth are positively regulated by protein tyrosine phosphorylation. Therefore, a dephosphorylation process controlled by protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) must also be critical. The present study identified six cytoplasmic PTPs expressed in VSMCs: low M(r) protein tyrosine phosphatase (LMW-PTP), SHP-2, PTP36, PTP2, PTP1B, and FAP1. We further examined the functions of LMW-PTP in VSMCs using the adenovirus-mediated gene transfer of recombinant LMW-PTP. PDGF-induced activation of p38, but not of ERK MAP kinase, was blocked by LMW-PTP. LMW-PTP as well as the p38 inhibitor SB203580 inhibited DNA synthesis and cell migration upon PDGF stimulation. LMW-PTP dephosphorylated activated PDGF receptors in NIH3T3 cells, but not in VSMCs. Thus, LMW-PTP negatively regulates PDGF functions by inhibiting the p38 pathway in VSMCs although its substrate is unclear. These findings strongly demonstrate that PTPs are important as negative regulators for VSMC growth and migration, processes that are closely related to the progression of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Microsatellite 15 TKY System was characterized for parentage verification of horse registry. The Microsatellite 15 TKY System was constructed by using 15 microsatellites, TKY279, TKY287, TKY294, TKY297, TKY301, TKY312, TKY321, TKY325, TKY333, TKY337, TKY341, TKY343, TKY344, TKY374, and TKY394, to provide stringent PCR-based microsatellite typing specifically optimized for multicolor fluorescence detection. The Microsatellite 15 TKY System showed good resolutions for 250 unrelated Thoroughbred horses, and the probability of exclusion (PE) at each microsatellite ranged from 0.437 to 0.621, resulting in a total PE value of 99.998% for Thoroughbred horses. These results indicated that the Microsatellite 15 TKY System is useful for paternity testing of Thoroughbred horses. A paternity testing case for a Thoroughbred horse family, in which candidate sires had close relations, was analyzed using the Microsatellite 15 TKY System. In this case, the Microsatellite 15 TKY System excluded paternity of a false sire. We concluded that the Microsatellite 15 TKY System can give sufficient and reliable information for paternity testing.
