- Necessity of redefinition and revision of mouse unit for tetrodotoxin: Relationship between lethal time and mouse unit of tetrodotoxin in mouse bioassay.
 Hodaka Suzuki, Lead, BACKGROUND: An assay that utilizes the relationship between the amount of toxin administered and the lethal time of mice is called a mouse bioassay (MBA) and has been used as an assay for marine neurotoxins such as paralytic shellfish poison toxins and pufferfish toxins. The MBA for tetrodotoxin (TTX), which is possessed by pufferfish, has been used for many years in Japan. In the Japanese reference method, equivalent to the official method, the toxicity of TTX is expressed in mouse units (M.U.), and 1 M.U. is defined as the amount of the toxins required to kill a 20 g mouse in 30 min and is stated as 0.22 μg of TTX. The regulation limit in food is also expressed in M.U. in Japan. OBJECTIVES: In the previous studies, we have questioned the definition of 1 M.U. of TTX in the currently used Japanese reference method. In this study, we investigated the dose-lethal time relationship of TTX in mice. METHODS: Followed by the Japanese reference method, various doses of TTX were inoculated intraperitoneally into mice (n = 3/each dose) and the time from the end of the injection to the last gasp of breath was measured. RESULTS: The dose-lethal time relationship curve obtained in this study showed quite similar curves described in the reference method, but lethal time was always shorter than the time in the reference method. Also, the amount of 1 M.U. of TTX could not be determined based on the definition because most of the mice died earlier than 30 min after injection or survived. DISCUSSION: Based on the dose-lethal time relationship curve obtained in this study, 1 M.U. might be 0.1727 μg of TTX, which was about 22 % smaller than 0.22 μg. Furthermore, based on the definition, it was impossible to determine the amount of TTX for 1 M.U. The author asserts that the definition of M.U. and the amount of TTX for 1 M.U. should be reviewed.

- Impacts of Subchronic and Mild Social Defeat Stress on Plasma Putrefactive Metabolites and Cardiovascular Structure in Male Mice
 Atsushi Toyoda; Kina Kawakami; Yuto Amano; Hideaki Nishizawa; Shin-ichi Nakamura; Takahiro Kawase; Yuta Yoshida; Hodaka Suzuki; Takamitsu Tsukahara, Psychosocial stress precipitates mental illnesses, such as depression, and increases the risk of other health problems, including cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we observed the effects of psychosocial stress on the histopathological features of systemic organs and tissues in a mouse psychosocial stress model, namely the subchronic and mild social defeat stress (sCSDS) model. There were several pathological findings in the tissues of both sCSDS and control mice. Mild fibrosis of the heart was observed in sCSDS mice but not in control mice. Extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen and hemorrhage in the lungs were observed in both the control and sCSDS mice. Focal necrosis of the liver was seen only in control mice. Furthermore, putrefactive substances in the blood plasma were analyzed because these metabolites originating from intestinal fermentation might be linked to heart fibrosis. Among them, plasma p-cresyl glucuronide and p-cresyl sulfate concentrations significantly increased owing to subchronic social defeat stress, which might influence cardiac fibrosis in sCSDS mice. In conclusion, several pathological features such as increased cardiac fibrosis and elevated plasma putrefactive substances were found in sCSDS mice. Thus, sCSDS mice are a potential model for elucidating the pathophysiology of psychosocial stress and heart failure., MDPI AG

- Adrenocortical Carcinoma Treated with Adrenalectomy in a Dog.
 T. Itoh; T. Kadosawa; M. Mochizuki; R. Nishimura; S. Matsunaga; H. Suzuki; H. Nakayama; N. Sasaki, A 13-year-old female English Setter with adrenocortical carcinoma was treated with adrenalectomy before onset of hyperadrenocorticism. The grossly visible neoplastic mass including the ipsilateral adrenal gland was completely removed. The contralateral adrenal gland seemed to be normal, however postsurgical hyperkalemia caused from mineral corticoid deficiency appeared and was corrected by predonisolone administration. Ten months after surgery, lung metastasis was radiographically observed and several abnormalities associated with hyperadrenocorticism were detected on both physical and blood examinations. By administration of cisplatin, a transient improvement of the clinical signs and a decrease in plasma cortisol concentration were obtained, however 2 weeks later, the patient died. Necropsy revealed severe metastatic lesions in the lung, spleen, liver, kidney, small intestine, and brain., Japanese Society of Veterinary Anesthesia & Surgery
