Circadian rhythms in digestive enzymes in the small intestine of rats. I. Patterns of the rhythms in various regions of the small intestine.

The activities of the digestive enzymes, maltase [EC 3.2.1.20], sucrase [EC 3.2.1.26], trehalase [EC 3.2.1.28], Leucine aminopeptidase [EC 3.4.11.1], and alkaline phosphatase [EC 3.1.3.1] were measured in various regions of the small intestine of rats. The activities of all these enzymes were much higher in the jejunum than in the ileum, and in the distal regions of the ileum no sucrase, trehalase or alkaline phosphatase activity was detected. In the jejunum, the activities of all the enzymes tested exhibited clear circadian variations with the highest activity at 0000-0400 h and the lowest at 1200 h when the rats were fed ad libitum. In the ileum, maltase and sucrase also exhibited circadian variations, but the amplitude of the rhythm was smaller than that in the jejenum. Trehalase and alkaline phosphatase did not show any circadian variation in the ileum. Leucine aminopeptidase showed a circadian variation in the ileum with the same amplitude as in the jejunum. The phase of the circadian variations shifted about half a day when the rats were fed in the daytime, but the amplitude of the rhythm did not change.

[Normal prenatal growth of the golden hamster (author's transl)].

In the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus) the gestation period and the loculus size of the gravid uterus from day 6 to day 15.5 (parturition) of gestation as well as the weight, width (umbilcus-black) and lenght (crown-rump) of the embryos from day 9 to the parturition were measured. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The gestation period of the golden hamster was 15 days and 15 +/- 3 hours post coitum. 2. The average values of the length (in the direction of uterine long axis) and width (mesome-trial-antimesometrial axis) in the loculus of the gravid uterus were 0.39 cm and 0.56 cm at 6 days, and 2.42 cm and 1.74 cm at 15.5 days (partiurition), respectively. 3. The average values of the crown-rump measurements, width (umblicus-back) and weight in the hamster embryos were 0.42 cm, 0.24 cm and 0.026 g at 9 days, and 2.40 cm, 1.39 cm and 2.272 g at 15.5 days (parturition), respectively. 4. The loculus size of the gravid uterus, the crown-rump measurements and width (umblicus-back) of the embryos in the period from day 13 to day 14 of gestation were markedly increased in comparison with any other period, and the weight increase of the embryos occurred rapidly from day 13 of gestation. 5. The shape of the loculus during the gestation was ovoid (mesometrial-antimesometrial axis) until the end of 10 days converged to the spherical form and thereafter changed gradually to the ovoid from in the direction of uterine long axis contraly to the previous days.

[Studies on the cytotoxic action of various composite resins by means of cell culture (author's transl)].

In order to investigate biocompatibility of composite resin, L strain cells were brought contact either directly with mixed resin or with immersion liquid, which was obtained by replacing with fresh medium twice for 48 hours, followed by utilizing these immersed medium as the second immersion liquid or the third, and results were assessed by cell multiplication rate calculated from cell nuclei counting per milliliter of medium, morphological observation and agar diffusion method, originally used by Guess et al. (1965) and later modified. The materials used were selected from the presently available composite resins, which were classified by composition and form for use provided by manufacturers, i. e, powder, paste, or liquid. Those which were classified were as follows; Types Pa-L-L (Paste-Liquid-Liquid), Pa-L (Paste-Liquid), Pa-Pa (Paste-Paste), Po-L (Powder-Liquid) and Po-L-Pa (Powder-Liquid-Paste).
