Synthesis and beta-adrenergic blocking action of a new thiazolylthiopropanolamine derivative.

The synthesis of (+/-)-2-(3'-tert-butylamino-2'-hydroxypropylthio)-4-(5'-carbamoyl-2'-thienyl)thiazole hydrochloride is described. The new compound antagonized the cardiovascular effects, such as positive chronotropic, positive inotropic, or depressor arterial blood pressure responses, elicited by intravenous isoproterenol; it was 9--14 times as potent as propranolol in anesthetized open chest dogs. The oral administration of the compound reduced isoproterenol tachycardia in conscious dogs. It was about five times as potent as propranolol in this test, with maximal action after 1 hr, and its duration was significantly longer than that of propranolol.

Identification, purification and immunohistochemical detection of the inhibitor from porcine ovarian follicular fluid to compensatory ovarian hypertrophy in mice.

An inhibitor to compensatory ovarian hypertrophy in mice was detected in porcine follicular fluid. Compensatory hypertrophy was inhibited by treatment with 0.6 ml whole follicular fluid, 0.2 ml of the non-dialysable fraction, or a fraction of the fluid salted out by ammonium sulphate at a saturation of 14.5--18.5%. The salted-out fraction was separable into two peaks by Sephadex G-200 column chromatography and the second peak, detectable as a single band by polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis, contained all the inhibitory activity. Specific fluorescence of an antiserum to the second peak was demonstrated at the granulosa cells.

Epithelial dysplasia in cancerous and noncancerous esophagi.

Subserial examinations of the noncancerous esophagus from 86 autopsy materials (male 47, female 39) in Kagoshima Prefecture revealed epithelial dysplasia in 54 instances (63%); 32 males (68%) and 22 females (57%). Higher grades of dysplasia were shown in 17 males (36%) and 3 females (8%). Histologically a formation of the rete ridge-like elongation of basal epithelium was characteristically conspicuous in these materials. Tabacco and alcohol intakes were regarded as promoting factors of dysplasia. Distribution and severity of dysplasia around carcinoma were histologically examined on semiserial blocks in 100 surgical materials under the consideration of preoperative treatment. A coexistence of carcinoma with extensive dysplasia was found in 24 instances and that with multifocal dysplasia in 46. Multicentric in situ carcinoma was found in 19 patients. These in situ carcinomas were frequently surrounded by severe dysplasia and occasionally showed gradual transition to the latter. The lesion of invasive carcinoma sometimes did not show sharp demarcation from the surrounding mucosa, especially in cases of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. The results indicate that dysplasia plays a significant role on carcinogenesis of the esophagus as a precursor lesion.

Primary leiomyosarcoma arising in the trunk of pulmonary artery: a case report and review of literature.

An autopsy case of a 46-year-old woman with primary leiomyosarcoma arising in the pulmonary artery is presented. This case is the first description in Japan and the 10th in the world literature as leiomyosarcoma in this part of the body. An electronmicroscopic observation of the postmortem material was useful to conform the histologic diagnosis, in addition to some kinds of staining method of histologic section.

Cell surface glycosaminoglycans of cell line MDCK derived from canine kidney.

Morphological observations and biochemical analysis were made on glycosaminoglycans produced by MDCK cells of dog kidney origin growing on a glass surface as a mosaic of epithelium with many multicellular hemishperical vesicles. MDCK cells synthesized glycosaminoglycans, which consisted mainly of heparan sulfate and hyaluronic acid. The majority of the substances were contained in a cell-surface component removable with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-trypsin. In the radioautograph of tissue sections, high radioactivity of 35SO4 was observed on the medium-bathed cell surface, where Alcian blue-strained material could be observed. Ultrastructurally, the surface of microvillous processes which were abundant on the cell surface in contact with the medium was stained with ruthenium red. A small amount of chondroitin 4- and 6-sulfates were also synthesized. After 24 hr, the majority of chondrotin [35S] sulfates newly formed were secreted into the cultured medium, whereas haparan [35S] sulfate was released much less, remaining as a cellular component. The biological roles of glyconsaminoglycans produced by epithelial cells are discussed.

Polyps and diverticulosis of large bowel in autopsy population of Akita prefecture, compared with Miyagi. High risk for colorectal cancer in Japan.

A necropsy study of polypoid lesions and diverticula of the large bowel in the Japanese prefectures of Akita and Miyagi indicated that adenomatous polyps were more numerous in Akita (30%) than Miyagi (18.3%). They also were larger and showed more severe atypia in Akita. The sigmoid colon and rectum showed the most severe atypia in both prefectures. Hyperplastic polyps and diverticula were very uncommon in both prefectures. These results are discussed in relation to the different levels of risk to colorectal carcinoma in these prefectures and in Japanese migrants to Hawaii.
