The first half of the study deals with the establishment of the laboratory procedure and conditions for measuring ^<57>Co and ^<60>Co in fecal matter, particularly with regard to the gamma spectrometric separation of the two isotopes and necessary corrections. The second half is concerned with the measurement of intestinal absorption of hydroxocobalamin-^<57>Co in comparison with cyanocobalamin-^<60>Co in rats following oral administration, and organ uptakes of radioactivity. No difference was obtained in the absolute amount of absorption between the two analogues, but the radioactivity uptakes by the liver and kidney were greater following administration of hydroxocobalamin-^<57>Co than cyanocobalamin-^<60>Co.

Hydoxocobalamin-^<57>Co was given per os to man and absorption was determined both by the fecal and the urinary excretion methods. It was found that the absolute absorption was about the same as but the urinary excretion was much less than that of cyanocobalamin. Adsorption of a physiological dose by subjects after total gastrectomy was very small and coadministration of hog intrinsic factor increased absorption appreciably. The study using the rat loop technique (Okuda) disclosed that absorption of hydroxocobalamin was intrinsic factor dependent to the same extent as cyanocobalamin.

Beef liver catalase prepared by the method of Deutsch was further purified by DEAE-cellulose chromatography and Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. The fluorescence spectrum of partial acid hydrolysate of the catalase preparation suggested that flavin-like substance might be contained in the enzyme. Paperchromatographic isolation of the substance with the flavin-like fluorescence was attempted. Paperchromatographic behavior, fluorescence spectrum, and absorption spectrum of the isolated material suggested that the substance might be flavinnucleotide.

Pantethine (PTSS) was examined for its effect on the growth of rats. The albino rats used were males of the Donryu strain produced at the Central Laboratories for Experimental Animals (Tokyo), 27 or 28 days of age and weighing 50 to 60g. They were studied clinically, biochemically, and pathologically, in comparison with three groups of rats fed with different diets, that is pantothenic acid (PaA)-deficient, PaA-added, and normal diet. As a result, the four groups were arranged in the decreasing order of gain in body weight as follows : PTSS>PaA>PaA-deficient>normal. The rats of the PaA-deficient group manifested rough coat, erected hair, rusty-red color of the face, and other signs of PaA-deficiency in accordance in growth. Such changes could not be observed in the PaA group or PTSS group. The CoA content of the liver was very low in the PaA-deficient group, but remained normaly in any other group. The pathological changes by PaA deficiency were apparent in the PaA-deficient group, but not observed in the PaA group or the PTSS group.

Sixteen kinds of pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia, Salmonella, Corynebacterium, Neisseria, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Diplococcus, Pseudomonas and Vibrio, showed full growth in media containing 5〜100μg/ml of thiamine propyldisulfide. It may be concluded that thiamine propyldisulfide has no effect on the growth of bacteria.

A thiamine loading test (subcutaneous injection of 10mg) was performed on 21 patients with hyperthyroidism, 6 patients with hypothyroidism, 8 patients with simple goitre and 10 healthy subjects, as control. Phosphorylated and free thiamines were determined in blood after 30 and 60 min. of injection and also in 3 hrs. urine. In healthy subjects, total thiamine level in fasting blood was 5.1±1.25μg/dl and it increased to 8.3±1.79 μg/dl at one hr. after loading. Ester ratio in blood at that time was 29.5±10.39%. Urinary excretion of thiamine was 40.3±7.59% of administered amount during 3hrs. after injection. In hyperthyroidism, a remarkable increase of esterified thiamine and of ester ratio in blood and a decrease of urinary thiamine after loading as compared with those of controls were observed. On the other hand, in hypothyroidism, a remarkable increases of total blood thiamine and increase of urinary thiamine was found but ester ratio showed only a slight elevation. In all patients, examined, there was inverse correlations between ester ratio and urinary thiamine, total blood thiamine and serum protein-bound iodine, total blood thiamine and basal metabolic rate, respectively. In addition, there was direct correlation between ester ratio and serum protein-bound iodine.

Distribution of ^<35>S was studied in urine and organs of rabbit after an intravenous injection of thiamine-^<35>S. Urinary ^<35>S-compounds were fractionated into thiamine and its metabolites by paper chromatography. About 40% of administered ^<35>S was found in liver 30min. after injection. In testes, heart and brain, ^<35>S contents at 3 hrs. after injection were a little higher than those at 30min. after, while in lung and muscle, it decreased with the lapse of time. Thiamine and ^<35>S in plasma increased promptly after injection and it disappeared with the lapse of time. Thiamine level measured by thiochrome method was higher than that was calculated from ^<35>S until 1 hr. after injection, then it decreased more rapidly. In urine ^<35>S was fractionated in various fractions, such as thiamine, thiochrome, 4-methyl-5β-hydroxymethylthiazole, 4-methyl-5-carboxymethylthiazole and unknown substances. ^<35>S was detected also in bile. Percentages of urinary ^<35>S to administered dose during a period of 30 min., 3 and 5 hrs. after injection, were about 35,46 and 68,respectively. It was revealed that about 54% of ^<35>S, excreted in 5 hrs. urine was in thiamine molecule, while the remainder was in its metabolites, indicating that about one half of thiazole moiety degradated.

Thiamine-^<35>S was injected intravenously with rabbit of hypermetabolism caused by continuous administration of triiodothyronine or with hypometabolism by thyroidectomy. In hypermetabolic animals, ^<35>S contents of liver, blood, kidney and testes increased although urinary ^<35>S excretion decreased as compared with controls. Urinary excretion of ^<35>S in thiamine metabolites increased more during 5 hrs. following injection than thiamine-^<35>S, indicating that the degradation of thiamine occured a little more progressively than that of controls. These results suggest that hypermetabolic animal was in a state of thiamine deficiency. In hypometabolic animals, ^<35>S content of blood, kidney and lung increased and ^<35>S excreted in urine increased as compaired with controls. Urinary ^<35>S in thiamine metabolite decreased during 5 hrs. after injection, while ^<35>S in thiamine increased than the controls. The results showed that in hypometabolic animal, thiamine deficiency is not seen, and that thiamine simply passes through the animal.

A fluorometric procedure for the fractional determination of O-acylthiamine derivatives and thiamine was established by the use of sodium or potassium carbonate as alkali reagent in cyanogen bromide oxidation. Some factors affecting the accuracy of determination were tested and it was found that the salt concentration of the oxidation mixture was an important one. A standard procedure for the mixture of thiamine, OBT, TDS, BTDS were described in table 7. Usefulness and versatility of the acylthiochrome fluorometry were briefly discussed.

Metabolic pathway of BTDS to thiamine in human blood was investigated in vitro and in vivo, using acylthiochrome fluorometry. BTDS was found to be converted to thiamine mainly through the nonenzymatic reduction by erythrocytes and enzymatic deacylation by plasma. The deacylating activity of plasma was as high as 25 mg OBT per dl per hour at 37℃ and had the optimum pH at 7〜8. Similar enzymatic activities were also detected in homogenates of rat liver and intestine as well as Takadiastase. After oral administration of 300〜50O mg of BTDS on healthy subject, OBT or BTDS was not recognized in blood or urine, and it was concluded that absorbed BTDS was metabolized to thiamine. From these findings the metabolism of BTDS in blood was discussed.
