    Notes: Aims : Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), characterized by raised serum IgG4 levels, is frequently complicated by disorders of extrapancreatic organs. The aim of the present study was to examine immunohistochemically which extrapancreatic organs are affected, and whether an autoantibody to such organs is present in the serum of AIP patients.Methods : Various tissues/organs obtained from AIP patients were studied immunohistochemically with an anti-IgG4 antibody. To examine the presence of an autoantibody in the serum of AIP patients, sera were incubated with various normal organs/tissues extracted for other diseases, followed by detection with an anti-IgG4 antibody. Sera were also examined before and after glucocorticoid therapy.Results : Marked infiltration of IgG4+ plasma cells was observed in the pancreas, liver, bile duct and salivary gland of many of the AIP patients examined. The normal epithelia of the pancreatic ducts, bile ducts, gallbladder and salivary gland ducts reacting with the patients' sera were detectable by the anti-IgG4 antibody. Following glucocorticoid therapy the IgG4 antibody from the patients' sera showed decreased reactivity with these tissues.Conclusions : AIP may also affect extrapancreatic organs, the serum of AIP patients may contain an IgG4 autoantibody to various organs and glucocorticoid therapy may improve such disorders.

    Description: A 3-D hydrodynamic model for sediment transport has been developed to assess the environmental impact of benthic disturbance during the deep-sea mining activity. The model was applied to the Japan Deep-Sea Impact Experiment (JET) and a series of numerical simulations were carried out in order to reproduce the observed sedimentation profile of resuspended particles. Although the general tendency was reproduced in every simulation run, the observed resedimentation maxima at the northern and the southern ends of disturber towing zone could not be accounted for after all. The' discrepancy seemed to be partly because the model did not take into account the effect of sediment-laden negative buoyant flow which must contribute to the transport of resuspended sediment. Thus the model was modified to include the density effect associated with the resuspension of sediment, and then applied again to JET site to examine how the reproducibility of the resedimentation profile was improved. From the comparison of model results, it turned out that the sediment-laden negative buoyant effect plays an important role in improving the predictive capability of the model, but does not cause the model to reproduce the double-peak phenomenon of resedimentation at the ends of towing zone. This suggests that the complete reproduction of the double-peak phenomenon requires another simulation that takes into account the sediment-laden negative buoyant effect as well as an artificial sediment source involved in recovery operations of the seabed disturber.
