Human serum albumin (HSA) is an abundant and highly soluble plasma protein with the capacity to bind a remarkably diverse set of lipophilic anionic compounds so that it fulfils important roles in the transport of nutrients, hormones and toxins. The protein attracts great interest from the pharmaceutical industry since it can also bind a variety of drug molecules, impacting their delivery and efficacy. Our understanding of the binding and transport properties of albumin has been transformed by structural studies of the protein, in which crystallographic analysis has played a leading role. This review summarises the main insights to have accrued from this work, highlighting the significant advances that have been made but also pointing out some of the challenges ahead. Since further progress is likely to benefit from increased structural scrutiny of HSA, methodological developments instrumental to the success of crystallographic analysis of the protein are discussed in some detail.

第41次南極地域観測越冬隊(第41次越冬隊)は40名で構成され,全員が昭和基地で越冬し,所期の観測をほぼ実施して2001年3月28日,全員無事帰国した.2000年2月1日,第40次越冬隊より基地運営を引継ぎ,翌2001年2月1日に第42次越冬隊へ引き継ぐまでの間,第V期5カ年計画の4年次にあたる観測・設営活動を実施した.設営活動は,昭和基地整備計画(10カ年計画)の9年次として計画された,夏期隊員宿舎の増設,設備更新を主としたものだった.観測系ではみずほ基地滞在による吹雪観測,航空機による基地上空の大気採集や内陸大気観測等を行い,やまと山脈域での隕石探査では50 kgを超す鉄隕石を含む3554個の隕石を採集した.予想外の出来事としては試験的に持ち込んだ10 kWの風力発電装置が7月初頭の大型ブリザードにより倒壊したほか,12月中旬に発電棟内の燃料タンクから軽油が棟外へ漏れる事故があった.

As the project for the second period, Aichi Water Supply is working to construct a new water channel system by creating multiple upstream water channels and renovating the check gate. Plans to introduce a demand-driven system in the existing downstream channel using a downstream water stage control gate were hindered by the appearance of hydraulic and structural problems such as rise of the water channel and tunnel flooding. Although attention focused on a supply-driven approach, consideration was given to the possibility of introducing a float-type constant upstream and downstream water stage control gate in which a demand-driven water channel system operates as long some extra capacity exists in the water channel upstream from the gate. This type of gate is distinctive in that downstream water level can be regulated using water stored in the water channel upstream from the gate, and offers the advantage of being able to utilize that water without flooding the existing water channel. The operating mechanism of this gate has been shown to possess adequate practical functionality in both on-site testing and performance results from mathematical-model-based simulations. Unlike an open channel system, this type of gate does not require a major investment and allows for limited demand-driven management of the water supply.

Postoperative changes in endocrinological status and serum chemistry during the 4 years after transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) in 25 dogs with Cushing's disease were investigated in a prospective study. In all 25 dogs, Cushing's disease was diagnosed from resected pituitary tissues as a corticotroph adenoma in the anterior lobe of the pituitary. Prior to TSS, all 25 dogs showed hypercortisolemia. After TSS, the ACTH stimulation test showed continued low serum cortisol concentrations in 21 dogs (84%). In addition, the serum thyroid stimulating hormone concentrations decreased sequentially, while the serum T4 concentrations tended to increase due to the postoperative hormone substitution therapy utilized to avoid secondary hypothyroidism. In regard to serum chemistry, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and total cholesterol are commonly increased in canine Cushing's disease. In this study, ALP, ALT and total cholesterol were increased in 23 cases (92%), 19 cases (76%) and 20 cases (80%), respectively. However, postoperatively, these concentrations gradually decreased. The postoperative serum concentrations of ALP at 1 year, that of ALT at six months to 2 years and that of total cholesterol over the course of the 4 years decreased significantly compared with the concentrations before TSS. These results show that TSS is an effective treatment for canine Cushing's disease and for long-term improvement of hypercortisolemia. Moreover, TSS is effective in improvement of hypercortisolism, such as increased concentrations of serum ALP, ALT and total cholesterol.

Pituitary thyrotroph hyperplasia results from prolonged primary hypothyroidism in humans, mice and rats. In dogs with Cushing's disease, many cases have low serum thyroid hormones concentrations due to euthyroid sick syndrome. A 6-year-old castrated male Beagle diagnosed with Cushing's disease had a high serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration that was treated by hypophysectomy. On histological examination, the resected pituitary gland contained both a corticotroph adenoma and thyrotroph hyperplasia. The TSH-positive cell ratio in this case was greater than that of healthy Beagles. In the present case, the pituitary thyrotroph hyperplasia was probably caused by primary hypothyroidism. In conclusion, this Beagle is the first histological confirmation of the coexistence of a corticotroph adenoma and thyrotroph hyperplasia.

日本の出版界においては,読者層に障害者を包摂するような視点がみられない。昨今の厳しい出版状況では,障害者向けの出版物に目を向けていくことは難しいのかもしれない。アメリカの場合はリハビリテーション法504条により,障害を持つ人に対する差別の禁止がうたわれている。電子書籍や録音図書などを墨字資料と同じように販売することで,障害による差別をなくして,出版の枠を広げる機会としている。最近の日本においても,バリアフリー出版などの動きが少し見られるようになってきた。本稿では,日本の出版物におけるユニバーサル・デザインへの取り組みを検討していく。
