    Notes: Abstract The present study on chemotaxis activity was conducted between May 1989 and March 1990. In order to establish a chemotaxis index, with special reference to a repellence index of food for black abalone Haliotis discus, a logistic curve y=g/{1+ exp [-r(j-a)]}, where g, r and a are constants, was applied to time-courses of abalone responses to fresh and spoiled algal extracts. The time-courses were respresented by the number of individuals (y i) displaying three behaviors (entering. leaving and remaining in a test compartment with algal sample) over time (j=1 to 10, 2-min intervals). Repellence and attraction specimens were prepared from a homogenate of green laver Ulva pertusa allowed to spoil for 2, 4 and 6 d at 40°C, and from fresh homogenate, respectively. Of 32 time-courses (estimated according to a method whereby the observed number was weighted by j for each behavior, involving 30 individuals), 32 “entered”, 19 “left” and 19 “remained” time-courses fitted the curve at the 0.10 level, as determined by a chi-square test. A general evaluation of repellence and attraction, determined by observable behavior, agreed well with the difference in a between the dummy (control) and specimen curves, and with the ratio of a in the dummy curve to a in the specimen curve, for logistic curves fitted to the “entred” time-course. The difference was 〉0 and the ratio was 〉1 in the repellence index, and 〈0 or 〈1 respectively in the attraction index. The validity of the indexes was ascertained using food specimens prepared from three kinds of algae.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To compare the venoconstricting effect of dopamine with that of noradrenaline and to investigate the influence of age on the responsiveness to dopamine in human subjects. Methods: In eight young and eight elderly male subjects, increasing doses of dopamine or noradrenaline were infused into a dorsal hand vein and its diameter was measured using a linear variable differential transformer. Results: There was no significant difference between the maximum venoconstriction (Emax) for dopamine and that for noradrenaline. The infusion rate to induce 50% of Emax (ED50) for dopamine in the young and elderly subjects was 363 ng · min−1 and 352 ng · min−1, and the ED50 for noradrenaline was 40.7 ng · min−1 and 43.8 ng · min−1, respectively. Neither in the Emax nor in the ED50 for these drugs were there significant differences between the young and elderly subjects. Conclusion: The venoconstricting effect of dopamine is 5–20 times less than that of noradrenaline, and aging does not influence the responsiveness to dopamine and noradrenaline in human subjects.

    Notes: Abstract Objectives: Cold stimulation causes a finger skin vasoconstrictor response, which is regulated by stimulation of α-adrenergic receptors and is reduced by administration of prazosin. The purpose of this study was to investigate, using a laser Doppler flowmeter, whether the decrease in the finger skin vasoconstrictor response to cold stimulation produced by administration of two different α1-adrenoceptor antagonists, prazosin and urapidil, was correlated with the corresponding plasma drug concentration, and whether this method could be used to evaluate the relative potency of these α1-adrenoceptor antagonists in human subjects. Method: In thirteen healthy male subjects (20–42 y), finger tip skin blood flow was measured during cold stimulation before and 1, 2, 3, 6, and 9 h after administration of placebo, prazosin (1 mg) or urapidil (60 mg). Results: Both prazosin and urapidil significantly decreased the vasoconstrictor response to cold stimulation. The degree of the decrement in the response indicated by the reduction ratio was significantly correlated with the plasma concentration of prazosin and urapidil. The α1-adrenoceptor blocking activity of prazosin estimated by the regression lines was about 130-times more potent than that of urapidil. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the cold stimulation response of finger skin vasoconstriction may be used to evaluate the relative α1-adrenoceptor blocking potency of drugs.

    Notes: Abstract Objective: To investigate the influence of age on the venodilator effect of isoproterenol, a β-adrenoceptor agonist, and amrinone, a selective phosphodiesterase (PDE) III inhibitor, in human subjects. Methods: In eight young and eight elderly male subjects, the drugs were infused into a dorsal hand vein preconstricted with phenylephrine and its diameter was measured using a linear variable differential transformer. Results: The maximum venodilation (Emax) induced by isoproterenol was significantly smaller and the infusion rate of isoproterenol required to induce 50% of maximum venodilation (ED50) was significantly larger in the elderly than in the young subjects [Emax: 29.8 vs 95.1%, ED50: 97.3 vs 51.6 ng ⋅min–1]. A significant age-related change in Emax or ED50 was not observed for amrinone (Emax: 95.8 vs 100.8%, ED50: 40.1 vs 31.6 μg ⋅min–1). Conclusion: The data show that the venodilator effect of amrinone is not influenced by age. As amrinone increases cyclic AMP by inhibition of PDE III, it is suggested that the action of cyclic AMP is not altered by age. The decreased effect of isoproterenol might be caused by reduced production of cyclic AMP in elderly subjects.

    Notes: Abstract The interaction between lomefloxacin, a new quinolone, and furosemide, a loop diuretic, has been examined. Oral lomefloxacin 200 mg and furosemide 40 mg were given together or separately to 8 healthy subjects, and blood and urine samples were obtained over the following 12 h. The plasma concentrations of lomefloxacin following coadministration with furosemide were higher than after lomefloxacin alone and its AUC was increased, and its total and renal clearances were decreased. No change in the pharmacokinetics of furosemide was found after coadministration of lomefloxacin. As quinolones and furosemide are reported to be excreted in urine by the renal tubular anion transport system, the present results suggest that the renal tubular secretion of lomefloxacin is diminished by furosemide. It is not clear whether this pharmacokinetic interaction might be clinically important.

    Notes: Quasi-one-dimensional sulfide BaVS3 is known to show a metal-to-semiconductor transition at ~70K. In this study we investigated the effects of nonstoichiometry of BaVS3 on this transition.Single phase samples were obtained in the composition ranges of 0.95 ≤ 1±x ≤ 1.05 in BaV1±xS3,and of 0.95 ≤ 1-x ≤ 1.00 in Ba1-xVS3. All single phase samples showed themetal-to-semiconductor transition at ~70 K. Seebeck measurements revealed that the dominantcarriers are electrons in all samples. BaV1.05S3 and Ba0.98VS3 showed relatively large values of thepower factor of about 1.0 x 10-4W/K2m around 200 K
