Lid and its metabolites in plasma were extracted with chloroform-hexane-isopropanol (60 : 30 : 10), and organic layer was dried down at 50 degrees C under N2. The residue was dissolved in 50mM phosphoric acid and subjected to HPLC analysis. 4-compartment model was introduced to analyze pharmacokinetic parameters, and which gave the most reasonable fit with actual results. Control experiment was carried out using identical dog with acute hepatitis. The following results were given: 1) Elimination of Lid was slightly depressed, but T1/2 was not altered. Plasma level of Lid was kept higher. 2) As for MEGX, the formation was depressed, and upto 23 min after Lid administration, MEGX concentration in the dog with acute hepatitis was lower than that of control, but after 23 min it was vice versa. 3) As for GX, the formation was depressed, but the elimination was not affected. In the dog with CCl4-induced hepatitis, metabolism of Lid was suppressed, and which resulted in maintaining a relatively higher levels of Lid and MEGX concentration in plasma.

Among oral microbials, gram-negative bacterias have been studied extensively in relation to periodontal disease for their pathogenicity due to their lipopolysaccharide (LPS), exocellular enzymes or bacterial toxin. As for gram-positive bacterials, it has been reported recently that gram-positive bacteria can elicit immunological responses, and this may be responsible for the initiation and/or development of periodontal disease. However, precise mechanisms of bacterial action, especially of gram-positive bacteria, on periodontal disease have not been elucidated yet. In this experiment, therefore, gram-positive bacteria (S. epidermidis), peptidoglycan subunits of S. epidermidis (SEPS) and muramyl dipeptide (MDP) were used to investigate for their activities to stimulate spleen mononuclear cells to replicate and produce various kinds of cytokines. Immunological responsibilities of various strains of mice were explored to investigate the difference of defence of mechanisms. Following results were obtained. (1) S. epidermidis itself showed a extremely low cell-mediated activity to stimulate the replication of spleen mononuclear cells in contrast to E. coli. Staphylococcal phage lysate and SEPS stimulated remarkally the replication of spleen mononuclear cells. (2) The stimulation of spleen mononuclear cells was accompanied by the production of interleukin 3 (IL-3) and colony stimulating factor (CSF), but interleukin 2(IL-2) was not produced as in the case of E. coli. (3) Analysis of cell surface antigens revealed the increase of the numbers of Ia+ and Mac-2+ bone marrow cells following stimulation of spleen mononuclear cells with SEPS. However, T or B cells were not increased. (4) Macrophage-depleted and antisera Ia-treated spleen mononuclear cells showed a marked decrease of replicating activity of spleen mononuclear cells. (5) Among the various strains of mice tested C3H/HeN, Balb/c, AKR, DBA/2, C57BL/6, ddY, C3H/HeJ, MRL/lpr and showed a high immunological responses, but Balb/c did not. C3C/HeJ and MRL/lpr also lacked immunological reactivity. These results suggest that proliferative response of lymphocyte with peptidoglycan in gram-positive bacterium is very important for infection and its defensive reaction against gram-positive bacteria.</p>","PeriodicalId":77579,"journal":{"name":"Nichidai koku kagaku = Nihon University journal of oral science","volume":"15 3","pages":"196-206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"13634301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

M. J. as the fulcrum point, and at this time, the masticatory force concentrated mainly on the dental arch is absorbed into the jaw bone through the periodontal tissues. Therefore, it is of great significance for the study of prosthodontics to assess what distribution of mechanical strain the maxillar and mandibular bones exhibit to occlusal force at mastication. Very many studies have been made to clarify this point, but many of them were analyses of stress pattern when a tooth (a point) is under force on models prepared on the assumption that a tooth is planted on the jaw bone, but there are only very few studies which made analysis of stress pattern when the mandible is under force by elevating it mainly along the direction of the M. masseter upon positioning the bone similarly as in vivo mechanism. With the purpose of assessing the distribution of mechanical strain received when the mandible is elevated by the muscle of mastication, the author has assessed the change in the stress distribution under 2 conditions of light and hard tensile forces by setting the M. masseter form the center of the inferior border of the zygomatic bone and center of the zygomatic arch to the mandibular angles on the assumption that self memory alloy takes the places of the M. masseter (the masseter) and M. temporalis (the temporalis) on the experimental model. As a result, the following conclusions have been reached: 1. When the origin of the masseter is at the center of the inferior border of the zygomatic bone, the maximum exhibited tensile strain at all the measuring points both under light and hard tensile forces. Under light tensile force, the minimum strain showed compressive strain in the region from the lower canine to the lower first under hard tensile force, the minimum strain exhibited tensile strain at all measuring points. The amount of strain under hard tensile force exceeded the amount under light tensile force. 2.
