We have already demonstrated that the impaired activity cf histamine-Nmethyltransferase (HMT). a major histamine-metabolizing enzyme. is a particular feature in the Arthus reaction sites and that HMT activity is regulated by such compounds in which a certain chemical structure is contained. We have also proposed that, among preformed mediators with such structure, only serotonin Increases in the reaction, which make an apparent mirror image with the decrease of HMT activity. In this study, we examined PL and related compounds in the Arthus reaction. Phosphatidylcholine (PC), P-ethanolamine, P-serine and P-inositol altered after the initiation of the reaction, whereas lysc-PC and lysoPAF. which reduce HMT activity in vitro. were not detected. Therefore, PL were considered not to inhibit HMT activity, but lo exhibit their proper effecls as newly-formed mediators.

The effects of ketotife” fumarate(KF) and clemastine fumarate (CF) on neutrophil chemiluminescence(CL) responses t” zymosa” particles coated with either IgG(IgGZ),CJ(‘.%Z),or both(IC3Z) were examined in vitro. Opsonized symosans caused detectable neutrophil 0: elaborations evaluated by a MCLA-CLsystem,vith the order of light emission being 1’3Z>IgGZ>C3Z,a”d Increased neutrophil !Caz+)i measured by a” Aequorin-CL system. Both KF and CF inhibited these opsonized zymosan-induced responses of neutrophil MCLA,CL.but not Aequorin-CL,in a dose-dependent fashion.with the characteristics that inhibitory effects of CF was usually greater than those of KF. Using a 07 generation system(hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase),no interference of these drugs with measurement of 0, by MCLA-CLwas also noted. These results suggest that both drugs may suppress neutrophil oxidative potential for 02 generation by means of preventing levelsofasignalrransductionpathway fromPKCtoNADPHoxids.se.

THE MECHANISM OF ORALAND GENITALAPHTRAEIN BEHCET'S DISEASE ANALYZED USING A HEMORRHEOLOGICALTECHNIQUE -RHEOLOGICALACTIVITY OF NEUTROPHILSTO PDGF IN CLOTTED BLOOD AND TO ACTIVATED COMPLENBNTSIIJINA S, and OTSUKA F. Department of Dermatology, Institute of Clinical Medicine, Universityof Tsukuba, Japan We have ever evaluated that neutrophilsof Behcet's disease are rheologicallyactivated and show higher response to extrinsicplatelet-derivedgrowth factor (PDGF). The rheologicalactivity of neutrophilsdenoted by us represents adhesiveness,aggregabilityand deformabilityof the cells. Objective:We evaluated the response of neutrophilsof the disease to intrinsicPDGF produced by platelet coagulation in serum and to complementsin zymosan-activatedplasma, using micropore filtrationmethod. Results: After a" incubationwith serum, the micropore filtrationtime of unstable Behcet's disease was siEni.ficantly higher than normal individuals(pcO.001). Conclusion:Highs= response of neutrophilsto PDGF was detected in Behcet's disease and my provide the possible relation with the mechanism of oral and genital ulcers.
