    Abstract A localized increase of labeling index (L.I.) was observed in bud-forming epithelium of the uropygial gland of the Japanese quail embryo through computer-aided analysis. At day 10 glandular buds are not yet formed anywhere in the epithelium and the distribution of proliferative activity in the epithelium is not differential. On the following day the peripheral buds are being formed at the externo-lateral end of the basal luminal epithelium, L.I. increases locally in these buds. At day 12 a localized increase of L.I. takes place also at the median end; extremely high labeling indices are seen at the tip of the peripheral buds and developing central buds.

    Abstract Nascent macrocysts of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium mucoroides were dissociated enzymatically and the liberated cytophagic giant cells were partitioned by dextrin density gradient centrifugation. Enzymatic and cytochemical studies revealed that the primary wall is composed mainly of cellulose (β-1,4-glucan) associated with polysaccharides including hemicellulose, pectic substances and á-1,4-glucan. The buoyant density of the liberated cytophagic giant cells and peripheral cells was determined by density gradient centrifugation, and partitioning of the cells was possible due to the difference in this property. The process of macrocyst reconstitution was investigated using dissociated cells. The isolated cytophagic giant cell has a specific affinity for other cytophagic giant cells and predominantly ingests them by phagocytosis, while it retains the ability to ingest peripheral cells. The present study provides a clue for investigating the differentiation and development of sexual cells, since only the cytophagic giant cell gives rise to a zygote in macrocyst formation.

    Abstract A new labrid fish, Terelabrus zonalis sp. nov., the fourth species of the genus, is described on the basis of two specimens collected from the Philippines. The new species is characterized by 44 longitudinal series scale rows, 42 pored lateral-line scales, 11-12 gill rakers (including rudiments), the main supratemporal sensory canal with 8 branches posteriorly, the area bounded by the main supratemporal and postotic sensory canals (dorsal view) with 3 scale rows, the least distance between the orbit anteroventral margin and interopercle 7.0% of standard length and 18 faint silver vertical bands on the body in preserved specimens. An underwater photograph of T. dewapyle is reported as the first record of the species from the Philippines. A key to species of Terelabrus is provided.

    Abstract The development of transplantation technology has improved the prognosis of transplantation surgery; however, the negative impact of immunosuppressive drugs has increased the number of patients with cancer after transplantation. Recently, minimally invasive surgery has become more common for cancer treatment. We report our experience of performing laparoscopic sigmoid colon resection for a patient with a history of two renal transplantations and peritoneal dialysis. A 42-year-old male patient who developed purpura nephropathy underwent renal transplantation at ages eight and 34 years. He had been on peritoneal dialysis for five years before the second transplantation. The patient was referred to our department with the chief complaint of sudden abdominal pain. After an examination of imaging, we obtained a diagnosis of sigmoid colon cancer. Despite a history of peritoneal dialysis, laparoscopic sigmoid colon resection was successfully performed without complications after confirming that there were no adhesions in the abdominal cavity. The left lower port position had to be adjusted because the transplanted kidney protruded into the left iliac fossa. No postoperative complications and graft loss occurred. In this case, laparoscopic surgery was effective in lowering the risk of damage to the transplanted kidney and safely performing the procedure. The number of colorectal cancer cases in renal transplant patients is expected to increase, and some of these patients will have a history of peritoneal dialysis, which may make surgery more difficult. The successful outcome of this case highlights that laparoscopic surgery could be viable for patients with such a complex medical history.

    Abstract Key clinical message: Interventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is effective not only for biopsy, but also for abscess drainage. We report the first use of EUS to drain inflammation of the bladder and pelvic dead space through the ileal conduit. EUS-guided drainage is effective in treating postoperative abscesses and should be employed more routinely.
    Abstract: The patient was a 77-year-old man with a vesicoureteral fistula. An ileal conduit was placed after abdominoperineal resection and partial bladder resection for local, postoperative recurrence of rectal cancer. During postoperative chemotherapy, the patient developed a high-grade fever and after a thorough examination, he was diagnosed with bladder and pelvic dead-space inflammation. All urine flowed through the ileal conduit, and it was assumed that secretions from the residual bladder and prostate gland had accumulated in the bladder and pelvic cavity, resulting in infection. A transcutaneous drain was inserted through the perineum and the infection was controlled, but it flared up again after the drain was removed. We concluded that long-term drainage was necessary and successfully controlled the infection by placing a plastic stent through the ileal conduit into the bladder and pelvic dead space under ultrasound endoscopy. This is the first report of ultrasound endoscopic drainage of an abscess through the ileal conduit.

    Abstract Bacteria and marine macroalgae form close associations, while various bacteria affect the morphogenesis and growth of macroalgae. Hyphomonas strains exhibit normal morphogenetic activity in protoplasts of the red alga Pyropia yezoensis (nori). However, the effects of the bacteria on the growth of Pyropia from protoplast cells to regenerated thalli remain unknown. Here, we assessed the growth of P. yezoensis and Pyropia tenera using combined cultures of three Hyphomonas strains (LNM10-16, SCM-2, and LNM-9) and three algal media (artificial seawater with vitamins, artificial seawater, and natural seawater) over 7 weeks. Third week after culture, the three Hyphomonas strains showed almost similar levels of normal growth activity for both Pyropia species. However, at 7 weeks, significant differences were observed among the three Hyphomonas strains in terms of length, length-to-width ratio, and normal morphology of Pyropia thalli. LNM10-16 significantly promoted the thalli length and length-to-width ratios of both Pyropia species in artificial seawater without vitamins and natural seawater, compared with the other two Hyphomonas strains. P. yezoensis cultured in artificial seawater with vitamins showed a much higher demand for LNM10-16 in development of the thalli length than P. tenera. These results may be explained by differences in the growth activities of Hyphomonas strains and the nutrient requirements of Pyropia species. Furthermore, the bacteria were more specifically attached to the rhizoid surfaces of both species. This study is the first to reveal that Hyphomonas strains affect the growth of Pyropia species by attaching to their rhizoids.
