Catecholamine-storing cells in the cyclostome heart.

The lamprey heart contains characteristic catecholamine-storing cells in both the atrium and the ventricle. Sufficient circumstantial evidence is available indicating that catecholamines together with protein carbohydrate complexes are contained in these cells within the membrane bound cytoplasmic granules. If the "recepto-secretory function" and "neuroectodermal origin" of these cells are proved, then they may be classified as typical paraneurons.

Electrophoretic analysis of acid proteolytic zymogens in mucosa surrounding gastric ulcer.

Acid proteolytic zymogens contained in biopsy specimens obtained from the area surrounding peptic ulcers of the stomach were analyzed by means of agar gel electrophoresis and compared with histopathological findings. It was demonstrated that the specimens obtained from the base of ulcer contained only slow moving protease (SMP) while mucosa located near the margin of ulcer showed the pyloric mucosal type of electrophoretic pattern and increase in distance between the margin of ulcer and the site of biopsy changed the electrophoretic pattern of specimens to the fundic mucosal type. The electrophoretic findings of acid proteolytic zymogens were found to be correlated closely to histological findings, and these changes were found to distribute in a patchy form around the ulcer. It was also found that endoscopically healed scared was covered with regenerated epithelium containing parietal and chief cells of which the electrophoretic pattern of acid proteolytic zymogens was of a fundic mucosal type.

Effect of total gastrectomy on acid proteolytic zymogens in serum and urine.

Proteolytic pH-activity curve and agar gel electrophoretic pattern of acid proteolytic zymogens in serum and urine were studied in totally gastrectomized patients. In serum, total gastrectomy was found to reduce proteolytic activity markedly, but no appreciable changes could be detected by electrophoretic analysis. In urine, however, in addition to the marked reduction of proteolytic activity, changes were found in electrophoretic pattern after total gastrectomy. Namely, fraction Pg 3 tended to persist, while Pg 5 disappeared along with the lapse of time after total gastrectomy. An unusual appearance of fraction Pg 7 in urine was also observed on the occasion of postoperative transient albuminuria. Their orgins and related clinical problems were discussed.

Comparative study on gastric secretory function between benign gastric polyp and elevated type of early stomach cancer with special reference to histological findings of gastric mucosa.

In cases of elevated type of early cancer and benign polyp of the stomach, gastric analysis was performed and the results were compared with histological findings of gastric mucosa. Both clinical entities were found to show lowered acid and pepsin secretory functions reflecting severe and extensive atrophic changes of gastric mucosa. Dissociation in secretory disturbance between acid and pepsin was also noticed.

Role of the kidney in gastrin metabolism.

Fasting blood gastrin level among various clinical entities was measured by means of radioimmunoassay. Hypergastrinemia of various degrees was found in some cases of chronic renal failure. During angiography arteriovenous difference of gastrin level was investigated in the kidney in 22 patients without renal diseases. The high rate of gastrin removal from the blood circulation by the kidney was also confirmed in the synthetic human gastrin 1-17 (SHG 1-17) infusion experiment in dogs. In this study, hypergastrinemia seen in renal diseases was thought to be caused partly by impaired gastrin metabolism in the kidney.

Comparison of dose-response curves between acid and pepsin to betazole hydrochloride in the dog with gastric fistula.

Secretory responses to subcutaneously or intravenously administered betazole hydrochloride of graded doses were compared between acid and pepsin in the dog with gastric fistula. Although the dose related increments in acid and pepsin outputs were parallel in the range of lower doses than 2.0 to 3.0 mg/kg body weight of betazole hydrochloride, higher doses caused in decrease in pepsin output, but did not in acid output. It was pointed out that the dose of betazole hydrochloride that stimulates acid secretion maximally dose not correspond to the maximal stimulation for pepsin secretion in the dog.

Significance of gastric analysis with particular reference to the diagnosis of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Various criteria in gastric analysis currently used for the diagnosis of the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome were assessed in cases of endoscopically normal gastric mucosa, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer. New criteria consisting of BSV greater than 350 ml/hr, BAO greater than 25 mEq/hr, MAO greater than 60 mEq/hr, and BAO/MAO greater than 0.7 were proposed to differentiate the Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and peptic ulcer.
