Studies on ferrous ion-induced lipid peroxidation of rat liver mitochondria. I. Effect of inorganic phosphate
Effect of inorganic phosphate on ferrous ion- and
ascorbate-induced lipid. peroxidations of isolated rat liver mitochondria was investigated. As a result it has been shown that phosphate accelerates the ferrous ion.induced lipid peroxidation; namely, phos. phate shortens the induction lag period of the lipid peroxidation reaction but the malondialdehyde after onset of its production is yielded at the same rate in various concentrations of phosphate. On the other hand, phosphate inhibits ascorbate.induced lipid peroxidation. There are stoichiometric interactions between the concentration of phos. phate and the induction period. Oxygen uptake by mitochondria was observed in the presence of both ferrous ion and phosphate at initial step of the reaction without being accompanied by malondialdehyde production, and afterwards there occurred malondialdehyde production with rapid rate of the oxygen uptake. Possible mechanisms and
interactions among ferrous ion, ascorbate and phosphate were discussed.</p
Studies on the lipid of rat dental pulp I. Analyses of lipid component and fatty acid composition in rat incisor pulps before and after whole-body x-ray irradiation
ラット切歯歯髄の脂質組成ならびに脂肪酸組成を解析するとともに,あわせてエックス線全身照射の各々の組成に及ぼす影響を研究し次の如き結果を得た.(1)切歯歯髄の総脂質含量は蛋白量相対比にして0.26の値を得た.エックス線全身照射群(1000R照射後3日目のもの)の歯髄も同様0.26の値を得,その差は得られなかった.(2)正常切歯歯髄の総脂質の脂肪酸組成において,パルミチン酸,オイレン酸,ステアリン酸,アラキドン酸,リノール酸の順に主成分として認められ,前三脂肪酸で78%以上を占めた.エックス線全身照射群においてはオレイン酸の減少,アラキドン酸の増加が認められた.口腔領域への部分照射(1000R)でも同様の傾向がみられた.(3)正常切歯歯髄の脂質構成としてリン脂質,コレステロール,トリグリセリド,コレステロールエステルが主成分として認められ,リン脂質は45 % ,コレステロールは30 % を占めた.エックス線全身照射群ではリン脂質,トリグリセリドの構成比に変動はみられなかったが,コレステロールの減少とコレステロールエステルの増加が認められた.(4)正常切歯歯髄リン脂質の構成を各種呈色反応で仮同定した結果,レシチン,ホスファチジルエタノールアミン,ホスファチジルセリンが主成分として90 % 以上を占めた.特にホスファチジルセリン含量が多いのが注目される.照射群ではレシチンの増加,ホスファチジルセリンの減少など若干の組成比に変動がみられたが,対照との差は有意とは言えなかった.Lipids and fatty acids extracted from rat incisor pulps before and after whole-body x-ray irradiation at 1000R were qualitatively and quantitatively analysed by means of thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography, and the results are as follows. 1) Ratio of the total lipid weight to protein weight was obtained 0.26 in normal rat dental pulps. The ratio in the irradiated group (3 days after irradiation) did not change. 2) In fatty acid composition of lipid of normal rat incisor pulps, palmitic, oleic, stearic, arachidonic, and linoleic acids were much in this order, and palmitic, stearic and oleic acids were major component accounted for over 78% of the total fatty acids. In that of the irradiated group, the decrease of oleic acid and the increase of arachidonic acid were observed comparing those of normal pulp lipid. 3) The major lipid of normal dental pulps composed of phospholipid, choresterol, triglyceride and choresterol ester, and phospholipid and choresterol accounted for about 45% and 30% of the total lipids, respectively. In the irradiated group, the decrease of choresterol and the increase of choresterol ester were represented. 4) In results of tentative identification by various color reaction on the thin-layer chromatograph, the major phospholipids of dental pulps were lecithin, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and phosphatidyl serine, which accounted for over 90% of the total phospholipids. It is significant that phosphatidyl serine in dental pulp is greater than in any other mammalian soft tissue so far studied. In the irradiated group, it was slightly observed the increment of lecithin and the decrement of phosphatidyl serine, but they are not predominant
Studies on the lipid of rat dental pulp II. Lipid peroxidation of rat incisor pulp
1) ラット切歯歯髄のホモゲネートにおいてFe(++)誘導脂質過酸化反応活性が認められた.エックス線全身照射(1000R)したラットより分離した歯髄ホモゲネートのFe(++)誘導脂質過酸化反応は非照射のそれに比して促進がみられた. 2) ラット切歯歯髄脂質の構成脂質中で,過酸化反応を誘起し易い脂質はリン脂質で,中性脂質ではほとんど誘起されなかった. 3) リン脂質中,そのリン脂質構成の大部分をしめるボスファチジルコリン,ホスファチジルエタノールアミン,ホスファチジルセリンにおいて過酸化反応が誘起し得た.中でもホスファチジルエタノールアミンの脂質重量当りの比活性が最も高い値を示した. 4) リン脂質の脂肪酸組成では,アラキドン酸をはじめ,不飽和含量が多く,トリグリセリドではアラキドン酸はみられなかった.Lipid peroxidation of dental pulp homogenate isolated from rat incisors was induced by ferrous ion. Lipd peroxidation of dental pulp homogenate isolated from rat 3 days after wholebody irradiation at 1000R x-ray was also induced by ferrous ion, and the activity was higher than that of control homogenate. In the extracted lipid components of dental pulps, the peroxidation of phospholipid were marked, but those of choresterol, choresterol ester, mono-,di-, tri-glycerides, and fatty acid (non-esterified) were slightly or negligible. In the phospholipid components, the peroxidation was highly observed in lecithin, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and phosphatidyl serine, and the peroxidation of phosphatidyl ethanolamine showed the most value in them. By the analysis of the fatty acid composition, arachidonic acid was included in the phos-pholipid but not in the triglyceride, suggesting arachidonic acid is substrate of the peroxidation of dental pulps

Diagnosis of Pancreatic Diseases by Scintigraphy
With 63 cases on whom we performed the scintigraphy of pancreatic diseases, we studied the possiblity of differential diagnosis and oter points relevant to the diagnosis in this disease group by comparing retrospectively clinical findings with postoperative findings of these cases, and arrived at the conclusions as follows: 1) For the scintigraphy of pancreas, scinticamera is excellent, and it is especially useful to take consecutive pictures at intervals of 10 minutes each for one hour with this camera after injecting (75)Se-methionine. 2) The major cases of the pancreas that gives normal visualization can be considered as normal, but as normal pictures can be obtained even in the cases of chronic pancreatitis. There are some cases where differential diagnosis between the two disease groups is difficult by scintigraphic finding. 3) In the case of a focal decrease of uptake first of all cancer can be suspected. However, there are cases where differentiation from chronic pancreatitis is difficult. In such instances, about half of the cases demonstrating roentgenologically calcification proves to be of chronic, calcified pancreatitis, but excluding these cases the percentage of cancer cases is high. 4) Among those cases showing pancreas in scintigram faint or nonvisible, there were two cases out of 3 where chronic pancreatitis was complicated with calcification. Excluding the two cases, cancer occupies a decidedly high percentage, and the cancer is mostly located around the head of pancreas, indicating that pathologic changes have invaded main pancreatic ducts. 5) There were 7 cases of chronic, calcified pancreatitis, one case giving normal pancreatitis, one case giving normal scitigraphic findings, 4 cases a focal decrease of uptake, and two cases showing the pancreas faint or nonvisible
