Hypercholesteremia is one of the risk factors for coronary artery disease. The present study highlights the efficacy of Ayurvedic herbal formulation Triphala (Terminalia chebula, Terminalia belerica, and Emblica officinalis) on total cholesterol, Low density lipoprotein (LDL), Very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), High density lipoprotein (HDL) and free fatty acid in experimentally induced hypercholesteremic rats. Four groups of rats were employed namely control, Triphala treated, hypercholesterolemia rats (4% Cholesterol+1% cholic acid+egg yolk) and Triphala pre-treatment in hypercholesteremic rats. Results showed significant increase in the total cholesterol, LDL, VLDL, and free fatty acid in hypercholesteremic rats were significantly reduced in Triphala treated hypercholesteremic rats. The data demonstrated that Triphala formulation was associated with hypolipidemic effects on the experimentally induced hypercholesteremic rats.

Borrelia duttonii, a causative agent of relapsing fever, is transmitted between the distinct microenvironments of the vector tick, Ornithodoros moubata, and a mammalian host. We identified the total and membrane fraction proteins of B. duttonii strain Ly isolated from a patient in Tanzania by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). The analyses of the total and membrane fractions from bacterial cultures incubated at 37°C identified 68 and 15 proteins, respectively. Since spirochaete clearance in mice is associated with an immunoglobulin M (IgM) and immunoglobulin G3 (IgG3)-mediated response, immunoblot analyses were used to identify the proteins reactive with IgM and IgG3 of gerbil serum against B. duttonii strain Ly. The outcome showed that six proteins (antigen p83/100, membrane-associated protein P66 (P66), flagellar filament outer layer protein, hypothetical protein BDU_412, vlp protein gamma subfamily (γ-Vlp) and flagellin (FlaB)) were identified against IgM, and four (antigen p83/100, P66, γ-Vlp and FlaB) of the six proteins also reacted with IgG3. It is believed that these proteins are immunodominant antigens for the host immune response. Some of these immunogenic proteins might be used as molecular diagnostic tools in the study of relapsing fever in Tanzania.

It was found that 2-[2-(5-nitro-2-furyl) vinyl]-5-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole (II) is obtained by the reaction of thiosemicarbazide with 3-(5-nitro-2-furyl) acryloyl chloride in excess pyridine and by refluxing 5-nitro-2-furanacrylic acid hydrazide with potassium thiocyanate in aqueous hydrochloric acid. 2,2-Disubstituted 3-acetyl-5-[2-(5-nitro-2-furyl) vinyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazolines (VIa〜c) were prepared by refluxing alkanone 5-nitro-2-furanacrylic acid hydrazones with acetic anhydride. Antimicrobial activities of these nitrofuran compounds are presented in Table III.

World Health Organization (WHO) indicated that recognition of the responsibility of individuals for their own health and awareness that professional care for minor ailments is often unnecessary were important points of view for “Self-Medication” in “Guidelines for the Regulatory Assessment of Medicinal Products for Use in Self-Medication” published in 2000. In Japan, educational curriculum in each school is formulated by “the Courses of Study”. Education for health at junior and senior high school is mainly carried out in “Health and Physical Education” class. The objectives are to enable students to develop qualities and abilities to appropriately manage and improve their health throughout their lives through understanding of health and safety in personal and social life. This idea is common with self-medication at a basic concept level. The previous Courses of Study were revised in 2008 and 2009. They described about medicine for senior but not junior high school. The interim report of “The Central Council for Education” in 2005 pointed out that understanding about effects/side effects by medicines, and abilities to use them appropriately are one of minimal qualities that all children must acquire. Due to revision of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law in 2006, the necessity of endeavoring to widespread knowledge and enlighten about proper use of medicines in school education was considered. Since the new Courses of Study in the junior high school shows content that medicines should be used properly, it is thought that educational frame of medicines for children is going into new era in Japan.

The present study was designed to examine the effects of methanolic extract (PE-ME), isoflavonoid fraction (PF-IF), triterpenoid saponin fraction (PF-SP) and N-acyl-N1-glucosyl-tryptophan (PF-P) isolated from puerariae flos on alcohol-induced unusual metabolism (as for glucose (BG), triglyceride (TG), and urea nitrogen (BUN) level in blood) and experimental liver injury (model : CCl4-and high fatty food induced) in mice. These alcohol-induced increasing responses were inhibited by the extracted and refined substances from puerariae flos. In short, PF-ME (4500 mg/kg) and PF-P (400 mg/kg) inhibited an increase in BG level induced by alcohol, whereas PF-IF (1000 mg/kg) and PF-SP (1000 mg/kg) did not. Similary, PF-ME and PF-SP inhibited an increase in TG induced by alcohol, whereas PF-IF did not. In addition, PF-IF and PF-SP inhibited increasing BUN level. Still more, PF-IF and PF-SP significantly inhibited an increase in gulutamate oxalacetate transaminase or gulutamate pyruvate transaminase level induced by high-fatty food and CCl4 in control animals. Especially PF-IF (250 mg/kg) administration showed a remarkable effect (inhibition : 76.3%) in control animals. These results suggested that puerariae flos or its combination drugs may be a useful drug as a traditional medicinal system for counteraction to drinking.

In the general rule, Puerariae Flos or it's combination drugs are used in traditional medicinal system for counteraction to drinking among Japanese and Chinese therapy. One of such drugs is Kakkakaiseito. Here we report the results of investigation on some pharmacological actions including alcoholic metabolism. The experiments were carried out to confirm its actual effect on alcohol, acetaldehyde and ketone body metabolism in the blood and the alteration of behaviour pattern of mice. Drugs used in this study were methanolic extract (PF-ME), isoflavonoid fraction (PF-IF) and triterpenoid saponin fraction (PF-SP) isolated from Puerariae Flos. Each drug was orally administrated to mice. These results were shown as follows : the concentrations of blood alcohol and acetaldehyde decreased more after the treatment with PF-IF (800 mg/kg) than those of the control group. This fact was evidenced remarkable effects with area under the blood concentration-time curve, mean residence time, and variance residence time and values on the moment analysis. However, a reduction effect was not recognized by the treatment with PF-SP (1000 mg/kg). Moreover, PF-ME and PF-IF suppressed the increment of spontaneous movement induced by alcohol administration, whereas PF-SP did not prevent the decrease in the increment caused by alcohol administration. These results support the basis that Puerariae Flos or its combination drugs is used in a traditional medicinal system for counteraction to drinking. However, further investigation is necessary.

In 2009, the Japan Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) established Sports Pharmacist—a system for certified pharmacists. There are many over-the-counter drugs that contain prohibited substances in Japan, and they are easily available. In Japan, most doping violations are committed when athletes unintentionally take prohibited substances. Therefore, the Sports Pharmacist has a vital role in promoting the prevention of doping. In the present study, surveys involving a total of 350 athletes, (including 260 representatives of Ehime Prefecture in the National Athletic Meets and 90 college students who participated in the intercollegiate athletics Shikoku area meets), on awareness regarding doping and medical drugs were conducted. Using correspondence and logistic regression analyses, the results were examined to develop a model for the prediction of athletes' actions to cope with sickness based on changes in their awareness of anti-doping, and the relationship between them was also analyzed. The survey results suggested that attitudes towards doping were strongly influenced by gender, rather than the athletic ability and whether or not a doping test is scheduled. Their behavior and criteria for the selection of drugs to address sickness were strongly correlated with awareness of anti-doping. Therefore, athletes with an increased awareness of anti-doping are expected to consult a pharmacist prior to using medicine. The Sports Pharmacist should further promote environmental development, such as activities to improve awareness of doping among young athletes and the establishment of medical drug consultation services for athletes (female athletes in particular).

The usefulness as one of the tools for self-medication of oral rehydration therapy (ORT), recommended as a safe and effective therapy for mild to moderate dehydration, was surveyed by questionnaire for pharmacists in community pharmacies. ORT products were sold in 112 pharmacies (61%), and the common product was OS-1®. Approximately 50% of sellers answered that they had no particular difficulty in explaining ORT. Percentage to answer “hard to describe” is significantly higher in pharmacists who believe there is a need to consider underlying health conditions of customers or patients when implementing ORT. Around 77% of pharmacists considered ORT to be useful in patients as a method of self-medication. A significant number of pharmacists selling ORT products depends on the consultation from customers or patients and provide advice to them confirming that ORT was useful. From these results, it was suggested that further information concerning ORT, such as its use in patients with chronic disorders or signs for completion, and the initiative of pharmacists to participate are necessary for spread the efficacy of ORT for self-medication in patients.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains the most important pathogen following solid organ transplantation and is the major cause of recipient morbidity and mortality during the first 6 months posttransplantation. To prevent CMV infection and/or to prevent symptomatic CMV disease, immunoglobulin (Ig) G including hyperimmune CMV IgG are used alone or in combination with antiviral medications. The CMV IgG titer, however, has a wide range and frequently depends on the company supplying the Ig preparation even if the preparations come from the plasma pool of a national blood donation agency. In the present study, we therefore simultaneously measured and evaluated the CMV IgG titers in various Ig preparations using two common methods: the neutralizing antibody (NT) and enzyme immunoassay (EIA). The CMV IgG titer in the present study indicated different values using both methods among Ig preparations that were made from the plasma pool of a national blood donation agency (about 3.5- or about 1.7-fold difference using the NT or EIA methods, respectively). Furthermore, there were no correlations in the CMV IgG titer between our findings and published data from the manufacturers, or between the two methods tested here. These findings suggest the importance and necessity of a standard method and/or sample for the measurement and assessment of CMV IgG in Ig preparations.

A fraction causing diarrhea to mice with a hemolytic activity was previously isolated from the aqueous extract of a poisonous mushroom Rhodophyllus rhodopolius. In order to clarify the relationship between the enterotoxicity and hemolytic activity, the hemolysin was purified. The hemolysin which was partially purified by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and Sephacryl S-300 column chromatography, caused diarrhea and intestinal hemorrhage to suckling mice. The molecular weight of the hemolysin was estimated to be about 40000 by SDS-slab polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration. The hemolytic activity of the hemolysin was observed to be relatively heat-stable in the crude extract and dependent on the temperature and concentration of erythrocytes.

Biopharmaceuticals represent new generation drugs that are more effective than conventional low molecular weight medicines for the treatment of cancer and other refractory diseases. In order to develop biopharmaceuticals it is critically important to explore suitable target molecules both for the diagnosis and treatment of disease. However, the choice of effective biomarker or drug target is often the most difficult part of the drug development process. Target discovery typically involves ‘omics’ techniques such as genomics, gene chip analysis and proteomics. Of these, proteomics is particularly important because proteins often comprise the final biomarker or drug target in the clinical sample (e.g., tissue or blood). Comprehensive proteomic analysis involves the identification of target proteins with different levels of expression between two states and is extremely useful at selecting promising candidates. Technology is then applied to further narrow down the list of relevant proteins. Here, I would like to introduce our novel procedure, termed “antibody proteomics technology”, which can generate monoclonal antibody from a minute amount (i.e., nanogram level) of protein. Antibody proteomics technology can be used to easily identify suitable target molecules in order to develop effective biomarkers and drug targets.

Emergency medicine is an interdisciplinary area that covers medical care in an emergency room, trauma center and intensive care unit. It also provides prehospital emergency medical service and disaster medicine. Pharmacists are expected to play major roles as a member of the emergency medical team. The roles of pharmacist include inventory management, formulary management, administration guidance, medication delivery, identification of a tablet, analysis of intoxicating substance, and therapeutic drug monitoring. During disaster response, accompanying disaster relief team to provide supervision for stock and prescription of medications could also be an important mission of a pharmacist. As a member of the emergency medical team, knowledge and skills for effective communication is essential to discuss patients' condition and therapeutic strategy with other healthcare providers. Basic life support and first-aid ability are mandatory to all the medical professionals who take care of patients. Safety and security management at the emergency or disaster scene is another important requirement. We hope more pharmacists will join the emergency and disaster medicine and contribute to extend a hand to the sufferers.

A rapid method for determining paeonol in Moutan Cortex ("Mudanpi"-root bark of Paeonia moutan) was established by high-speed liquid chromatography. Paeonol was separated in a 25 cm column of Zorbax CN, using a Shimadzu-Du Pont Model LC-2 liquid chromatograph, with 50% acetonitrile as the desorption solution. Separation was completed within 7 min. Paeonol in Moutan Cortex was extracted with methanol and the extract was injected directly into the column. Paeonol content was estimated from previously prepared calibration curves based on standard paeonol. At 275 nm, the precision of the determination was about ±1% and the detection limit was about 2 ng (S/N ratio, 3). It was concluded that this method is useful for the evaluation of Moutan Cortex.

ケタミンは, 解離性麻酔作用を有する全身性麻酔薬であり, 呼吸抑制などの副作用が少ないことから手術時に繁用されている. 一方, このケタミンは麻酔量より低用量を投与すると, 神経因性疼痛に関与しているといわれるNMDA受容体の非競合的拮抗薬として作用することから, 鎮痛効果も併せ持つ薬剤である.そのため, 非ステロイド性抗炎症薬などに抵抗する難治性疼痛を持つ患者に対し, ケタミンは保険適応外使用ではあるが, 鎮痛薬として静注や筋注以外に経口投与でも用いられている.しかし日本においてケタミンの市販薬は注射液のみであるため, 患者がケタミンによる在宅治療を行う場合, 注射液を経口投与しなければならないが, この注射液は特有の苦味や刺激感を有するため, 患者が服用を拒否する場合もある. そこで臨床現場では, 注射液に単シロップや矯味剤などを添加した液剤やケタミン試薬から調製した錠剤を院内製剤として患者に投与している.
