Acta Medica Okayama 2006 In Situ Preparation of Colloidal Iron by Microwave Irradiation for Transmission Electron Microscopy EN Satoru Nakatani We attempted to prepare colloidal iron within tissues by means of microwave irradiation. Mouse tissue blocks were fixed with a mixture of paraformaldehyde and ferric chloride in a cacodylate buffer, immersed in a cacodylate buffered ferric chloride solution, and irradiated in a microwave processor. Colloidal iron was prepared within tissues or cells, and was observed in the form of electron dense fine granules (1-2 nm in diameter) by transmission electron microscopy. Collagen fibrils in the connective tissue showed colloidal iron deposition at regular periodical intervals. Cells in the splenic tissue showed that fine colloidal granules were deposited on the ribosomes but not on the nuclear chromatin. This finding suggests that ferric ions could not diffuse into the nucleus, which was surrounded by the nuclear envelope. The podocyte processes of the renal glomerulus were stained diffusedly. Though this microwave in situ colloidal iron preparation method has some limitations, it is convenient for use in biomedical specimen preparation in transmission electron microscopy. No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.

Acta Medica Okayama 2006 Three-dimensional ultrastructure of the brush border glycocalyx in the mouse small intestine: a high resolution scanning electron microscopic study EN Kanji Horiuchi The three-dimensional ultrastructure of the filamentous glycocalyx of the brush border in the mouse small intestine was successfully demonstrated by high resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The specimens were fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde in a 0.1M phosphate buffer (pH7.4), and rinsed with buffered solutions with differently adjusted pH values (pH3.0, 7.0 or 11.0). They were then osmicated, dried, spatter-coated with gold (1.0-1.5nm), and observed under a high resolution SEM. The glycocalyx on the luminal surface of the intestinal villi covered the top of the microvilli of the epithelial cells and were well preserved in the specimens treated with an alkaline buffer (pH11.0). The glycocalyx was observed as filamentous structures, 7 to 15nm thick in diameter. These filaments repeatedly branched and anastomosed with neighboring ones to form an actual network or plexus as a whole, in contrast with superimposed images in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) which suggested that such anastomoses were pseudo-networks. The filaments thickened globularly at the sites of the filament bifurcation or branching. On the other hand, specimens rinsed with an acid or neutral buffer showed no glycocalyx on their microvilli, whose naked top had knob-like structures. Thus, the pH values of the washing buffer solutions were considered to affect the preservation of the surface coat due to molecular characteristics. No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.

Acta Medica Okayama 2006 Assessment of total and segmental body composition in spinal cord-injured athletes in okayama prefecture of Japan EN Yoshihiede Inukai This study assessed total and segmental distribution of fat mass (FM) in athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI) and examined the relationships between segmental distribution of fat mass and age, injury level, athletic history, and training load in order to provide useful information for improvements in their physical strength and training. Twenty-five male athletes with SCI participated in the study. The whole bone composition was measured by a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method for the calculation of bone minerals, FM, and fat-free mass. The percent fat of the trunk, arms, and legs was also calculated. The percent fat in the legs was highest in comparison with that in the trunk and arms (p < 0.001), and the percent fat in the trunk was higher than that in the arms (p < 0.001). The body fat (p < 0.01), waist circumference (p < 0.01), and waist-to-hip ratio (p < 0.0001) were higher in the group aged 40 or older in comparison with that aged 39 or younger. Path analysis revealed that training load was a factor decreasing the percent fat on the arms and trunk (p < 0.01), and athletic history was a factor reducing the percent fat on the arms (p < 0.05). Our study suggests that exercise is effective in reducing the waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and percent body fat of SCI individuals, and that such effects can help to enhance athletic performance and likely to protect against development of metabolic syndromes resulting from a sedentary lifestyle. No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.

Acta Medica Okayama 2006 Clinical significance of T1-weighted MR images following transient cerebral ischemia EN Hisami Aoe To try to determine the cause of hyperintensity of T1-weighted MR images that occurred on and after day 7 following transient cerebral ischemia, dynamic changes in T1-weighted images and histology of rats subjected to 20 min of 4-vessel occlusion were observed. T1-weighted images showed no remarkable alteration on days 1 and 3, although high signal intensity in the striatal region, in which the T1 value was significantly lower than the values on days 1 and 3, was observed on day 7. High signal intensity in T1-weighted images indicates low T1 values. Histological observation revealed accumulation of microglia in the striatal region on day 7 by lectin staining. There was a tight correlation between T1 values and number of lectin-positive cells. Microglia had stout processes and hypertrophic cell bodies on day 7, resembling lipid-laden phagocytes. Sudan black B staining showed the presence of many fatty droplets in the striatal region on day 7. Furthermore, double staining with lectin and Sudan black B revealed the presence of fatty droplets in bodies of lectin-positive cells on day 7. These results suggest that hyperintensity of T1-weighted images on day 7 following transient ischemia and reperfusion indicates accumulation and phagocytic activation of microglia. T1-weighted images seem to represent the progression of non-reversible tissue injury after transient ischemia and reperfusion. No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.

Acta Medica Okayama 2006 Methamphetamine-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity is regulated by quinone formation-related molecules EN Ikuko Miyazaki Recently, the neurotoxicity of dopamine (DA) quinone formation by auto-oxidation of DA has focused on dopaminergic neuron-specific oxidative stress. In the present study, we examined DA quinone formation in methamphetamine (METH)-induced dopaminergic neuronal cell death using METH-treated dopaminergic cultured CATH.a cells and METH-injected mouse brain. In CATH.a cells, METH treatment dose-dependently increased the levels of quinoprotein (protein-bound quinone) and the expression of quinone reductase in parallel with neurotoxicity. A similar increase in quinoprotein levels was seen in the striatum of METH (4 mg/kg X4, i.p., 2 h interval)-injected BALB/c mice, coinciding with reduction of DA transporters. Furthermore, pretreatment of CATH.a cells with quinone reductase inducer, butylated hydroxyanisole, significantly and dose-dependently blocked METH-induced elevation of quinoprotein, and ameliorated METH-induced cell death. We also showed the protective effect of tyrosinase, which rapidly oxidizes DA and DA quinone to form stable melanin, against METH-induced dopaminergic neurotoxicity in vitro and in vivo using tyrosinase null mice. Our results indicate that DA quinone formation plays an important role, as a dopaminergic neuron-specific neurotoxic factor, in METH-induced neurotoxicity, which is regulated by quinone formation-related molecules.

Acta Medica Okayama 2006 Medial Prefrontal Cortex and Anterior Cingulate Cortex in the Generation of Alpha Activity Induced by Transcendental Meditation: An MEG Study EN Shin Yamamoto Previous EEG studies have shown that transcendental meditation (TM) increases frontal and central alpha activity. The present study was aimed at identifying the source of this alpha activity using magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalography (EEG) simultaneously on eight TM practitioners before, during, and after TM. The magnetic field potentials corresponding to TM-induced alpha activities on EEG recordings were extracted, and we attempted to localize the dipole sources using the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm, equivalent current dipole source analysis, and the multiple spatio-temporal dipole model. Since the dipoles were mapped to both the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), it is suggested that the mPFC and ACC play an important role in brain activity induced by TM.

Acta Medica Okayama 2006 Effects of Radiofrequency Ablation on Individual Renal Function: Assessment by Technetium-99m Mercaptoacetyltriglycine Renal Scintigraphy EN Takashi Mukai We quantitatively evaluated total and individual renal function by technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (Tc-99m MAG3) renal scintigraphy before and after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of renal tumors. Eleven patients who underwent Tc-99m MAG3 renal scintigraphy 1 week before and after RFA were evaluated (7 men and 4 women ; age range : 23-83 years ; mean age : 60.6 years). Five patients had solitary kidneys, and five had normally or minimally functioning contralateral kidneys. One patient had a renal cell carcinoma in the contralateral kidney. One patient with a solitary kidney underwent RFA a second time for a residual tumor. In patients with a solitary kidney, MAG3 clearance decreased after 5 of 6 RFAs, and in patients with a normally functioning contralateral kidney, MAG3 clearance decreased after 4 of 5 RFAs, but no significant differences were observed between before and after treatments. In addition to the total MAG3 clearance, the split MAG3 clearance was evaluated in patients with a normally functioning contralateral kidney. MAG3 clearance decreased in 4 of 5 treated kidneys, while it adversely increased in the contralateral kidneys after 4 of 5 RFAs. No significant differences, however, were observed between before and after treatments. The results of our study revealed no significant differences in sCr, BUN, CCr, or MAG3 clearance between pre- and post-RFA values. These results support data regarding the functional impact and safety of renal RFA in published reports. We evaluated total and individual renal function quantitatively using Tc-99m MAG3 renal scintigraphy before and after treatment. This scintigraphy was very useful in assessing the effects of RFA on renal function. No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.
