    Abstract Background: Warfarin therapy influences generation of γ-carboxyglutamyl (Gla) residues in prothrombin, causing reduced coagulation activity. It will leave such inactive prothrombin in serum after clot formation, resulting in serum prothrombin constituting total inactive prothrombin in these patients.
    Methods: An ELISA was developed to measure biologically inactive prothrombin in serum, and applied to serum from warfarin therapy causing a decrease in Gla residues or direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy as its contrast.
    Results: The concentrations of serum prothrombin in both the warfarin and DOAC groups were higher than those in the healthy group (p < 0.01 and p < 0.001, respectively). When serum in the previous three groups was treated with barium carbonate to exclude prothrombin, which lost several Gla residues, the prothrombin concentration in the DOAC group decreased to the same level as that in the healthy group, indicating that prothrombin was obtained at a high level only in the warfarin group (p < 0.01).
    Conclusions: Warfarin and DOAC led to increase in serum prothrombin concentration. The reason is that DOAC decreases prothrombin recruitment during fibrin clot formation, while warfarin leads to the accumulation of inactive prothrombin, which have a decreased number of Gla residues.

    Abstract We have demonstrated that in rats activities of various enzymes related to gluconeogenesis and amino acid metabolism show circadian rhythms. Based on these results, we have explored the molecular mechanisms underlying circadian oscillation and phase response to light of the master clock located in the dorsomedial subdivision of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and found various proteins closely related to phase response such as BIT/SHPS-1 and those of circadian oscillation, some of which are involved in protein-tyrosine phosphorylation.On the other hand, we have presented several lines of evidence that the ventrolateral subdivision of the SCN includes not only the control center of energy supply to the brain, but also that of homeostasis such as blood glucose, blood pressure, water balance, and body temperature. We have also shown that besides these functions, the latter subdivision is involved in the regulations of hormone secretions such as insulin, glucagon, corticosterone and vasopressin. It has been also shown by electrophysiological means that light exposure to rat eye enhances sympathetic nerve activity, whereas it depresses parasympathetic nerve activity. Thus, environmental light is implicated not only in the phase-shift through the retinohypthalamic tract (RHT), but also control of autonomic nerve activities through the RHT, It is also discussed in this review how the two divisions are interconnected and how environmental light is involved in this interconnection.

    Abstract Early pathological and electro-physiological changes of the retina in the streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetic rats were investigated through optical and electron microscopy in two strains and electro-retinography in one strain. In Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats I month after the onset of diabetes, the thickness of the inner plexiform layer (IPL) and photoreceptor segment layer (PSL) was significantly reduced by 9.9% and 18.9%, respectively (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). In Brown-Norway (BN) rats STZ-diabetic for 1 month, the thickness of the IPL was also significantly reduced by 15.7% (P < 0.05). Cytochemical study using peanut agglutinin (PNA), a lectin binding selectively to the cone photoreceptor-associated domains of the inter-photoreceptor matrix, revealed a marked reduction in intensity, number and length of the PNA-binding cone photoreceptors. Electron microscopy showed deepened hollows in the basal infoldings of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of STZ-rats diabetic for 1 month and large concavities into the cytoplasm in STZ-rats diabetic for 6 months. Blood vessels in the retina and choroid were unremarkable. Single-flash electro-retinogram revealed a reduction in the amplitudes of alpha- and beta-waves of electro-retinogram (ERG) of 1 month STZ BN rats (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that the degeneration of rods/cones in the PSL and RPE are the most prominent pathological alteration sites in the early stage of diabetic rats.

    Abstract We reported recently that angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) significantly degraded amyloid beta-peptide (A beta) to inhibit aggregation and cytotoxicity of A beta in PC12h cells in vitro. On the other hand, others reported that ACE had two domains with highly homologous active centres, the N-domain and C-domain, but that they differed in their characteristics such as optimum chloride ion concentration, inhibition kinetics for various ACE inhibitors and rate of hydrolysis for many substrates. The aim of this study was to determine the specific ACE domain primarily responsible for degradation of A beta. For this purpose, a series of ACE recombinant proteins, each containing only one intact domain, was constructed and expressed in COS7. Our results showed that all ACE recombinant proteins obtained were enzymatically active in terms of angiotensin I cleavage. However, inhibition of A beta aggregation and cytotoxicity of the N-domain were higher than those of the C-domain. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography analyses confirmed that the N domain degraded A beta. Our results indicate that the N domain of ACE is primarily responsible for the degradation of A beta.

    Abstract Intraocular injections of ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) or intraocular adenovirus-mediated CNTF gene transfer have been reported to inhibit retinal alterations in inherited retinal degeneration in mice strains. To investigate whether or not CNTF administered by eye drops prevents retinal degeneration in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, recombinant CNTF was administered to eyes of diabetic rats (n=20) twice daily for 1 month after the onset of diabetes. The b-wave amplitude of electroretinogram in CNTF-administered diabetic rats was significantly larger than that of diabetic rats, and approached that of the controls. Atrophy of the inner plexiform layer, and cavity formation in the pigment epithelium, which were observed in diabetic rats, were prevented in CNTF-administered diabetic rats. These results indicate that CNTF administration by eye drops prevents retinal degeneration in STZ-induced diabetic rats.
