Gender identity disorder (GID) is a conflict between a person’s actual physical gender and the one they identify him or herself with. Testosterone is the key agent in the medical treatment of female to male GID patients. We conducted a dose-response analysis of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in 138 patients to determine the onset of the therapeutic effects. The TRT consisted of intramuscular injection of testosterone enanthate and patients were divided into three groups; 250 mg every two weeks, 250 mg every three weeks and 125 mg every two weeks. The onset of deepening of voice, increase in facial hair and cessation of menses was evaluated in each group. At one month after the start of TRT, the onset of these physical changes was more prevalent in the group receiving the higher dose of testosterone, and there were dose-dependent effects observed between the three treatment groups. On the other hand, at six months after the start of TRT, most of the patients had achieved treatment responses and there were no dose-dependent effects with regard to the percentage of patients with therapeutic effects. No significant side effects were observed in any of the treatment groups. We demonstrated that the early onset of the treatment effects of TRT is dose-dependent, but within six months of starting TRT, all three doses were highly effective. Current study provides useful information to determine the initial dose of TRT and to suggest possible changes that should be made in the continuous dosage for long term TRT.

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.

The present study evaluated and compared the oxidative stress status of dogs undergoing laparoscopic or open ovariectomy. Twelve healthy female dogs were divided into two groups according to the type of the surgical procedure, laparoscopic or open ovariectomy. Plasma total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) levels for the evaluation of oxidative stress were determined. Increases in plasma TOS and OSI levels and decreases in TAS levels were observed in both groups after surgery. The TOS level was significantly lower in the laparoscopic ovariectomy group compared with the open surgery group. Laparoscopic ovariectomy is a safe and beneficial surgical alternative to traditional ovariectomy with respect to oxidative stress status in dogs.

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was identified in 1980s as a protein that increases vascular permeability and induces endothelial cell-specific mitosis. VEGF plays an important role in angiogenesis during the embryonic stage and in angiogenesis and in increasing vascular permeability during postnatal life, both physiologically and pathologically. Great progress has been made in studies of VEGF, mainly in the field of oncology, and VEGF-targeted therapy has been successfully used to treat patients with cancer. In research related to chronic inflammation, several reports concerning rheumatoid arthritis or retinopathy and VEGF have been published. In the lower respiratory tract, increased levels of VEGF have been detected in biological samples from patients with asthma. However, VEGF has not been studied in detail in upper-airway diseases, such as rhinosinusitis. This review article focuses on VEGF and allergic rhinitis to advance studies of VEGF in chronic inflammation of the upper respiratory tract. VEGF levels in nasal secretions and nasal lavage fluid were higher in perennial allergic rhinitis than in nonallergic rhinosinusitis, after, rather than before, the antigen provocation test. The major VEGF isoforms were confirmed to be VEGF121 and VEGF165 in allergic rhinitis. Expression of VEGF mRNA was higher in serous versus mucous acini. In allergic rhinitis, serous acini produced significant quantities of VEGF, which was hypersecreted after antigen provocation. VEGF seems to play an important role in the pathophysiology of allergic rhinitis. Modulation of VEGF function seems to contribute to the successful treatment of conditions with airway inflammation such as allergic rhinitis.

The objective of the present study was to define the secretion of prolactin (PRL) in pregnant African and Asian elephants. Levels of immunoreactive (ir-) PRL in serum and placental homogenates were measured by a heterologous radioimmunoassay (RIA) based on an ovine and human RIA system, and the localization of immunoreactive (ir-) PRL in the placenta was detected by immunohistochemistry using anti-human PRL. Circulating ir-prolactin clearly showed a biphasic pattern during pregnancy in African and Asian elephants. Serum levels of ir-PRL started to increase from the 4-6th month of gestation and reached the first peak level around the 11-14th month. A second peak of circulating ir-PRL levels was observed around the 18-20th month of gestation followed by an abrupt decline after parturition. In contrast, in a case of abortion of an African elephant, the second peak of ir-PRL was not observed, and the levels remained low for about four months until parturition. The weight of the fetus delivered at the 17th month of gestation was 23.5 kg, which was quite small compared with normal fetuses in previous reports. Ir-PRL was detected in placental homogenates, and immunolocalization was observed in trophoblasts in both the African and Asian elephants, indicating that the placenta is the source of ir-PRL during pregnancy in elephants. The present results clearly demonstrated that circulating ir-PRL shows a biphasic pattern during normal pregnancy and that the placenta appears to be an important source of circulating ir-PRL during pregnancy in both African and Asian elephants.

We found a clear b-value variation associated with the rupture of asperities based on investigations of spatial and temporal distributions of frequency-magnitude relation for earthquakes in the northeastern (NE) Japan subduction zone. We used the Tohoku-University earthquake catalogue in the period from January 1, 1981 to October 3, 2001 after correcting artificial magnitude shift and removing artificial events. Spatial distribution of b-value is compared with the locations of asperities estimated on the plate boundary east off NE Japan. Estimated b-value decreases with increasing depth. Anomalously high b-values are observed in two areas off-Iwate and off-Fukushima regions, and asperities do not intrude into them. Temporal variation of b-value for presently analysed six asperities shows a remarkable increase in b-value after the rupture of each asperity. Then the b-value decreases gradually. These observations suggest that b-value reflects the stress change occurring in the vicinity of the asperities.

The objectives of this study were to set specific dog breed and sex standards for total cholesterol (T-Cho) and total triglyceride (T-TG) concentrations in dogs and to quantify the associations between dog age and concentrations of both lipids for different breeds. Increased age was associated with higher T-Cho and T-TG concentrations in all five breed groups (P<0.05); T-Cho concentrations increased by 62.5 mg/dL between 9 and 16 years of age, and T-TG concentrations increased by 4.8 mg/dL per year of age (P<0.05). Miniature Schnauzers had the highest T-Cho concentrations of the studied breeds, while Miniature Dachshunds had the lowest concentrations (P<0.05). Veterinarians should consider dog age and breed when they use the lipid concentrations for diagnostic purposes.

This study aimed to investigate and compare the antagonistic effects of atipamezole, yohimbine and prazosin on medetomidine-induced diuresis in healthy cats. Five cats were repeatedly used in each of the 9 groups. One group was not medicated. Cats in the other groups received 40 µg/kg medetomidine intramuscularly and saline (as the control), 160 µg/kg prazosin, or 40, 160 or 480 µg/kg atipamezole or yohimbine intravenously 0.5 hr later. Volume, pH and specific gravity of urine; plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) level; and creatinine, osmolality and electrolyte levels in both urine and plasma were measured. Both atipamezole and yohimbine, but not prazosin, antagonized medetomidine-induced diuresis. The antidiuretic effect of atipamezole was more potent than that of yohimbine, but was not dose dependent, in contrast to the effect of yohimbine at the tested doses. Both atipamezole and yohimbine reversed medetomidine-induced decreases in both urine specific gravity and osmolality and increases in plasma osmolality and free-water clearance. Antidiuresis of either atipamezole or yohimbine was not related to the area under the curve for AVP level, although the highest dose of both atipamezole and yohimbine initially and temporarily increased plasma AVP levels, suggesting that this may partly influence the antidiuretic effects of both agents. The diuretic effect of medetomidine in cats may be mediated by α2-adrenoceptors, but not α1-adrenoceptors. Atipamezole and yohimbine can be used as antagonistic agents against medetomidine-induced diuresis in healthy cats.

Bicycles are popular with the general public because of their low price and easy maintenance, and they will be an important vehicle in the future because of their low environmental load. Improving the comfort of the ride is one of the important factors that will lead to increased popularity. We attempted to increase comfort by reducing vibration, and evaluated the results with a subjective test. We determined that low frequency vibration of the seat greatly affected the comfort of the ride. We then performed a transfer path analysis (TPA) and a hammering test to investigate how the vibration characteristics of the bicycle affected the vibration of the seat. Through TPA, the rear of the bicycle frame was found to have a high influence on the seat vibration, and the vibration behavior was obtained by modal analysis. In order to reduce seat vibration, a spring was inserted in the front of the seat and, to increase the stiffness, a steel plate and bolts were attached to the rear of the frame. As a result, the seat vibration while riding was decreased by about 10 dB, and the comfort of the ride was greatly improved.
