| Abstract | Misasa Spa is well known as the most radioactive hot springs in Japan (maximum Rn content: 2330×10(-10) curie/l) and it has been applied to the management of neuralgia, rheumatic diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, etc. In this paper the climatological factors in Misasa Spa during the last decade (1956～1965) are summarized. The main features are as following: 1. The atmospheric temperature attains highest above 30℃ during the last ten days in July and the first ten days in August. In winter the temperature goes down below 0℃. during the last ten days in January and the first ten days in February. Owing to the high humidity, however, it is not felt so cold. 2. The amount of precipitation is more than 2,000 mm or so through the year. 3. The westwards wind is prevailing. The wind grade of 2～3 are observed most frequently. 4. Approximately 150 days of the year are clear fairly clear. 5. It is proved unexpectedly that it is rich in or the ultraviolet radiation even in winter. The results pointed above may suggest that the therapeutical period is optimal between March and October. |

| Title Alternative | Minor elements of the Nanbu Kotai of Nakatsugo Deposits, Ningyo Toge Uranium Mine |
| FullText URL | pitsr_036_023_030.pdf |
| Author | Watanabe, Koji| |
| Abstract | The Nakatsugo Deposits are the main deposits of the Ningyo Toge Mine which is located in the northern part of Okayama Prefecture. Nakatsugo Deposits consists of the two main ore body, namely, Nanbu Kotai (southern ore body) and Hon Kotai (main ore body). Nanbu Kotai is occupied mostly by the unoxidized zone and high grade ores containing ningyoite (n% U) are widely found in the basal conglomerates. Minor elements in the common rocks such as basal granites, conglomerates, sandstones, dikes, and shales as well as the uraniferous ores were determined quantatively by fluorescent X-ray spectrometric analysis (for U, Zr, Y, Sr, As, and Fe) and spectrophotometric analysis (for Ni and Co). As the results of this study, it is found that the uraniferous ores are characterised by extremely high contents of Zr, Y, Sr, and As, which show positive and linear correlation with the U contents. It is confirmed that As is concentrated in pyrite which is usually associated with the uraniferous ores. Elements such as Ni and Co are slightly concentrated both in the uraniferous ores and andesite dikes. This fact may suggest some genetic relationship among them. However, it does not seem to be plausible to draw any definite conclusion on the origin of the uranium deposits from these relationships. As to the minor element distribution in common rocks, no systematic variation was found except for the rock samples closely associated with the ore deposits. |

| Title Alternative | Lithium contents in the hot spring waters in western Japan |
| FullText URL | pitsr_036_015_021.pdf |
| Author | Henmi, Kitinosuke| Kusachi, Isao| |
| Abstract | Sixty-five samples of mineral waters (mainly above 25℃) from western Japan were analyzed for their Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Al, Fe, and Cl contents. The determination of Li was carried out by argentimetric titration of LiCI after the removal of other components by the cation exchange chromatography. A significant correlation between Li and Na concentrations is demonstrated in most samples, in which the contamination of sea water is hardly conceivable. This strong correlation of Li and Na can plausibly be explained assuming that these components have dissolved into the ascending mineral waters from the country rocks having fairly uniform Li to Na ratios. In this connection it is noted that western Japan is characteristic of the vast outcrops of granodioritic or granitic rocks. |

| Title Alternative | Clinical observations of gout |
| FullText URL | 036_007_013.pdf |
| Author | Yahata, Takaaki| Matoba, Kunikazu| Takenobu, Hisae| |
| Abstract | Thirteen cases of gout encountered between April 1961 and December 1965 in the clinic of Branch Hospital of Okayama University at Misasa Spa are described and the brief outline of the treatment of gout is suggested. Clinical findings: 1) All of thirteen cases were male. 2) The presumptive onset of the disease showed the highest incidence at the fifth decade. 3) The period between the onset of gouty attack and the diagnosis of gout ranged from four months to twenty-seven years. 4) The first attack was experienced on the first metatarsophalangeal joint in six cases. 5) The gouty tophi in six and the urate crystals in seven cases were observed. Laboratory findings: 1) The high blood uric acid level was observed in all cases. 2) Seven of nine procedured had anemia with color index of normochrome in five, hyperchrome in two and hypochrome in one. 3) The white blood corpuscles remained within normal limit except of two cases of mild leucopenia. 4) Abnormal results of the liver function test were observed in BSP, C.C.F., TAKATA'S reaction and the serum transaminases (SGOT, SGPT). The normal serum protein was detected. 5) None of cases showed the positive RA test. CRP remained normal in the intermittent phase. Diagnosis: The differential diagnosis between gouty arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis was emphasized. Complications: 1) Renal calculi were recognized roentgenologically in two cases, who had experienced attacks of renal colic. 2) Renal function test showed abnormality in PSP excretion and urine concentration. Blood urea nitrogen increased above the normal limit in seven cases. The decreased urea clearance in two and decreased uric acid clearance in one of them were observed 3) Hypertention was seen in seven cases but all except one recovered normal values with treatment of gout plus hypertention. |

| Title Alternative | Epidemiological research of radioactive springs (Misasa Hot Springs) on circulatory systems. II. Incidences of abnormal ECG findings and hypertension (A preliminary report) |
| FullText URL | pitsr_036_001_005.pdf |
| Author | Kitayama, Minoru| Matoba, Kunikazu| |
| Abstract | Misasa Hot Springs water contains 4.81-1169.2×10(-10) curie per liter of radon and its temperature ranges from 53.0℃ to 76.0℃. The authors examined one group of 265 residents who are living over 1 year at Misasa Hot Springs and another control group of 226 residents at the middle district of Tottori Prefecture, where the Misasa area is singular for its high radon concentration. A living environment of these two groups is of same condition, for example, dietarily or economically. The incidences of abnormal ECG findings and hypertension in the both groups was analysed stochastically and the results obtained were as follows: 1. The incidences of abnormal ECG findings were found less in the residents at the radioactive hot springs area than another residents at the middle district of Tottori Prefecture. 2. The difference in these incidences were found especially about the ECG findings due to functional disorderes, for example, sinus tachycardia and bradycardia, premature supraventricural and ventricural systole, atrio-ventricural block and right bundle branch block. 3. The ECG findings due to organic disorderes, for example, both auricural and ventricural hypertrophy or strain, myocardial and coronary arterial lesions, auricural fibrillation and left bundle branch block, were not found different significantly between both groups. 4. No difference of the incidences of the functional and organic abnormal ECG findings between both aging groups, over 60 years old, were found. 5. The incidences of hypertension were not found different between both groups. |

| FullText URL | pitsr_037_037_042.pdf |
| Author | Inoue, Masakatsu| Morinaga, Hiroshi| |
| Abstract | The authors examined the blood pressure levels of 5, 358 out-patients of Branch Hospital of Okayama University Hospital, Tottori Prefecture, during the four-year period, from April, 1957 to March, 1961. The following results were obtained: I. The incidence of hypertension with a systolic blood pressure over 150 mmHg was 20.5% (1,093 cases of 5,358). 2. Patients with hypertension over 40 years of age was 35.9% in male and 41.5% in female. Females showed a higher incidence than males and the incidence rate of hypertension increased with age. 3. There was a tendency in the incidence rate of patients with hypertension decreased in summer and increased in cold seasons. |

| Title Alternative | The isotopic ratio (234)U/(238)U of the ores and waters in Togo Mine, Tottori-ken, Japan |
| FullText URL | pitsr_037_031_036.pdf |
| Author | Umemoto, Shunji| |
| Abstract | The ratio (234)U/(238)U of two groups of ores and the waters collected in Kannokura Deposit was determined by α-ray spectrometry. According to the geological and mineralogical observation, the ores of each group were formed in succession. Based on the assumption that (234)U/(238)U of the uranium in the leaching solution is higher than that in the ores, the obtained ratio supports the above mechanism of formation. Actually, the waters collected in Kannokura Deposit showed the fairly high value in (234)U/(238)U. Each stratum of a typical section of the mine was observed on the ratio, but the obtained values were in too much complicated relation to interpret. |

| Title Alternative | The positive rate of RA- test in various diseases, with supplementary study on the RA-test of synovial fluid |
| FullText URL | pitsr_037_021_030.pdf |
| Author | Ezawa, Hidemitsu| |
| Abstract | Since the report of the agglutination test with Streptococcus by Cecil in 1931 there appeared many reports dealing with the serum reaction involved in rheumatoid arthritis. Among these the modified form of sensitized sheep blood cell agglutination test as proposed by WAALER (1940) and ROSE (1948) had been for a long time the only method applied to the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. However, as this method had disadvantages of its complex manipulation and of being relatively sensitive, generally satisfactory results could not be obtained with it. Since then the latex agglutination test by PLATZ and SINGER (1957) was used in conjuction with the bentonite agglutination test by BOZIEVICH (1957). By the RA-test it means the test where agglutination is attained by the combined reaction of the human serum to be tested and the polystyrene latex granules bound to human gamma-globulin, and it is being widely used in daily clinical examinations. For the purpose to know the positive rate of this test in disesaes other than rheumatoid arthritis, we applied this test to the patients with various diseases both visiting our out-patient clinic and those hospitalized, and studied the results. |

| Title Alternative | Our experience in combined balneo- and chrysotherapy for rheumatoid arthritis |
| FullText URL | pitsr_037_009_019.pdf |
| Author | Ezawa, Hidemitsu| |
| Abstract | There was a time when the adrenocortical hormones therapy was only available treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, but since it does not give lasting effect on chronic rheumatoid arthritis, opinions are varied as to its efficacy, so that at present we are still conducting studies about this problem. Ever since the reports on the gold therapy for rheumatoid arthritis of LANDE (1927) and FORESTIER (1929) the literature is replete with the results of gold therapy both in Europe and America. In Japan, however, it was with reports by OSHIMA (1957) and HASHIMOTO(1961) that first aroused the interest of general investigators in this gold therapy. Nevertheless, since we find no convincing methods of treatment, we attempted to give combined balneo- and chryotherapys therapy to the pateints coming to the Department of Internal Medicine of Misasa (Hot-springs) Hospital, which is located in Tottori Prefecture and is a Branch of Okayama University Hospital, over the period of the past five years, and studied the efficacy of such treatment. Our subjects were consisted of 93 cases of rheumatoid arthritis with duration of 4.8 years in average. For the balneotherapy the patients were made to rest for the first the bathing week, the combined with mud treatment and massage once or twice a day was given in the second week, and then the gold therapy was commenced. Gold thioglucose oil emulsion (Solganal B. product of Schering) was used. In the first week, 5-10 mg of Solganal B were given twice. 10 mg were given twice in the second week, and thereafter the doses were gradually increased until the total dosage reached 1.0～1.5g. By the combined balneo- and chrysotherapy applied to the 93 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, we obtained the results as follows. 1. The improvement in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate was observed in 77% of them. 2. The improvement in the CRP test was observed in 46%, but the aggravation was found in 8.7% of their conditions. 3. There were 53 cases (57%) whose RA-test was either weakened or turned negative. 4. Judging from the changes in the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the doses of gold thioglucose given, the effects of such a treatment appear around the tenth week after the start of the treatment and it seems that the total dosage of 500 mg and over gold salt is most appropriate. 5. By the combined treatment there were 10 (48%) of 21 cases whose conditions had improved well enough as to withdraw corticosteroids treatment and remaining 11 cases (52%) who had improved to the extent where we could reduce the amount of corticosteroids. 6. By applying the evaluating system of HASHIMOTO, the efficacy rate of the treatment proves to be 89% in the cases given over 500 mg gold thioglucose, and out of these 49% showed a marked effect. Therefore, it seems that the optimal dosage is over 500 mg. 7. These results amply indicate that for the treatment of chronic rheumatoid arthritis the balneotherapy combined with some organic gold compound or salt (Solganal B in the present study) is highly beneficial. |

| Title Alternative | The determination of serum triglycerides |
| FullText URL | pitsr_038_077_084.pdf |
| Author | Mifune, Masaaki| |
| Abstract | Currently accepted methods for serum triglycerides, namely, the manual modified VAN HANDEL-KAWADE method and the semi-automated LOFLAND method, were critically examined. Since the absorbents, the quality of sulfuric acid, the processes of shaking, extraction, saponification, removal of ethanol after saponification, and the stability of colored solution appear to be essential factors governing precision and accuracy of the determination, the effects of these factors were studied. It was found that the process of removal of ethanol was most important. To obtain the reproducible absorption, it is most advantageous to evaporate off ethanol from the solution of pH⋍6 on an oil bath at 101℃. As a result of re-examination on LOFLAND'S semi-automated method using a standard AutoAnalyzer, it is shown that the mixing coils can be omitted, thereby making the analysis possible in 18 -19 minutes (In the original LOFLAND'S method it takes more than 22 minutes). In addition, this modification results in smaller amount of chromotropoc acid reagent necessary (2.9 ml/min. as compared to 5 ml/min. in the original method). The determination rate in this modified method is 25 samples per hour. The average values, standard deviations, and coefficients of variance for the same serum sample for ten analyses according to the suggested manual method were 55.0 mg/dl, 1.83 mg/dl, and 4.69%, respectively, and those according to the suggested semi-automated method were 53.6 mg/dl, 1.78mg/dl and 4.68%, respectively. |

| Title Alternative | Study on effects of balneotherapy on blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) Part 3. The effects of balneotherapeutical procedures on blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) |
| FullText URL | 038_027_044.pdf |
| Author | Yahata, Takaaki| |
| Abstract | The effects of balneological procedures as well as the duration of hospitalization on blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) were studied in fifty-two patients chiefly including rheumatoid arthritics. The changes of these parameters in sixty minutes after any foment were discussed comparing with those in the control groups. The results were as follows. 1) Blood pH decreased in value from first to second hospital week and thereafter remained almost constant. No P(CO(2)) variation was observed. The P(O(2)) remained stable till third hospital week and then followed by up and down changes during the forth to the ninth week. 2) The arterial blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) in all showed a tendency to increase after the general spring bath of ten minutes duration (bath temp. : 40±1℃). The venous blood pH and P(O(2)) also increased as in the arterial but P(CO(2)) decreased. These non significcant changes in the venous blood were considered to be resulted from the increased cutaneous blood flow in the forearm. 3) It was showed that mud bath of twenty minutes duration (bath temp. : 40±1℃) made an influence on the venous blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) via two different mechanisms. The first is the increased blood flow which had five minute value of P(O(2)) and pH elevated but P(CO(2)) reduced significantly. The second is the prominent increase of oxygen uptake in which the significant reduction of five minute P(O(2)) value but no variation of pH or P(CO(2)) was demonstrated. It was suggested that these two types of variations were based on the difference of individual response to heat. 4) The signiilcant blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) changes after mud pack of twenty minutes duration (surface temp. : 40~50℃) were considered to reflect the increased blood flow. 5) The increased cutaneous blood flow induced by balneotherapeutical procedures was proved to remain as long as sixty minutes thereafter in almost all cases. 6) The blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) changes observed in the control groups were related mainly with the increased blood flow and only little, if any, with the elevated oxygen uptake. |

| Title Alternative | Study on effects of balneotherapy on blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) Part 2. Relationships between the physiopathological factors and blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) |
| FullText URL | 038_011_025.pdf |
| Author | Yahata, Takaaki| |
| Abstract | From the factors which are considered to make an effect on circulatory or metabolic states, hemoglobin content, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, room temperature, respiratory rate and pulse rate were chosen to be discussed their relationships between the pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)). Moreover, changes due to age and disease as well as diurnal and seasonal variations of blood pH, P(CO(2) and P(O(2)) were evaluated. 1) Blood pH and Peo2 showed the tendency of reduction in the order of 40~59, 10~39 and 60~79 years age group in the former and in the latter 40~59, 60~79 and 10~39 years age group. The P(O(2)) value in the afternoon decreased with ageing. However, no significance was demonstrated in any age group. 2) Diurnal changes of pH in 10~59 age group was very small. In the 60~79 age group, the afternoon value decreased than the morning one. The P(O(2)) value in the 10~59 age group increased in the afternoon contrasted to the decreasement in the 60~79 age group. The P(CO(2)) variations in all age groups were within the errors due to the measurement. 3) Rheumatiod arthritics group showed no significant diurnal variation different from non-rheumatoid arthritics group. 4) Blood pH of December-February group showed the lowest seasonal value and significant difference between March - May and September - November group. No significant seasonal variation was observed in the blood P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)). 5) The central nervous system group showed the significant lower blood pH than cardiovascular disease and rheumatoid arthritis group. The P(CO(2)) values of rheumatoid arthritis group were lower significantly than cardiovascular disease, central nervous system, and musculo- keletal system patient groups. None of diseases showed significant P02 difference each other. 6) Significant relationship was demonstrated between erythrocyte sedimentation rate and P(O(2)) value only in cardiovascular disease patient group. 7) There were the significant relationships between room temperature and P(O(2)) in rheumatoid arthritis and metabolic disease groups. 8) Significant relationships were shown between respiratory rate and pH in rheumatoid arthritis and cardiovascular disease groups. 9) There was significant relationship between pulse rate and pH only in rheumatoid arthritis groups. 10) The combination of the blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)), values was shown to reflect the circuratory or metabolic states of the tissues or organs and to remain stable on the experimental day. |

| Title Alternative | Study on effects of balneotherapy on blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) Part I. Evaluation of measurement apparatus and methods of the proccedures |
| FullText URL | pitsr_038_001_009.pdf |
| Author | Yahata, Takaaki| |
| Abstract | Human venous blood pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) were measured with I. L. Meter. Its reproducibility and response rate were evaluated as well as methods of the procedures. 1) Time required to reach the stability of pH, P(CO(2)), and P(O(2)) reading after the sampie injection was 1～1.5 min., 2～2.5 min. and 45～75 sec., respectively. It is recommended in the measurement of these parameters at the same time that the sample injection starts with P(CO(2)) electrode, followed by pH and P(O(2)) in this order and that readings are recorded in the order of pH, P(O(2)) and P(CO(2)). 2) Range of differences between the two values measured in the interval of 3～5 min. were pH : -0.010～0.020 (mean: 0.003), P(CO(2)) : -1.0～1.0mmHg (mean: 0.4) and P(O(2)) : -1.0～0.0mmHg (mean: -0.5). Their 5% rejection limits were 0.021≧x(o)≧-0.015, 2.0≧x(o)≧-1.2mmHg and 0.3≧x(o)≧-1.3mmHg, respectively. 3) The pH, P(CO(2)) and P(O(2)) of the heparinized venous blood stored in ice water showed no significant changes in 60 min. and they gave practically the same results as the measurement just after shedding. |

| Title Alternative | Follow-up results of rheumatic disorders treated with hot springs |
| FullText URL | pitsr_039_077_080.pdf |
| Author | Matsumoto, Kinshi| |
| Abstract | Misasa Spa, located in Tottori Prefecture, was discovered in 1164, and it has been widely used for the management of rheumatic disorders, gastrointestinal diseases and so on. In 1914, Dr. R. ISHIZU measured radon contents in Misasa spring waters to be 142.14 Mache, and then Misasa Hot Springs, alkaline common salt springs, were also known as radioactive hot springs. In July, 1958, patients with rheumatic complaints who had balneotherapy at Misasa Branch Hospital of Okayama University, from January, 1955 to March, 1958, were reexamined. A questionnaire about the effectiveness of balneotherapy was sent to 149 patients and 98 answers were received. The results were as follows: 1. Spa treatment was effective in 100% of shoulder-hand syndrome and osteo-arthrosis of the knee, in 95% of degenerative spondylosis, in 93% of rheumatoid arthritis, in 80% of low back pain, in 67% of sciatica, etc. Generally speaking, balneotherapy was effectual in 78 of 98 patients with rheumatic disorders (81.2%). 2. The effectiveness of spa treatment came out in the course of thermal cure in 74% of 78 cases, and the others recognized the effects after spa treatment was finished. 3. The effect of spa therapy on the subjective complaints was notable in the cases which had a period of spa treatment over half a month. In the cases which had a period of spa treatment within 2 weeks, it is thought that the period is too short to reveal the efficacy of hot spring bathing. 4. It appeared that drinking of hot spring water had no remarkable effect on rheumatic complaints. 5. Forty-three per cent of the cases answered that their body conditions during this inquiry time became better than that at the beginning of the balneotherapy, and the remainders of the reexamined cases were under the trcatments with cortisone, vitamine, massage, acupuncture and so forth. |

| Title Alternative | The effect of radioaclive thermal bathing upon serum iron values |
| FullText URL | 039_061_075.pdf |
| Author | Yamamoto, Yasuhisa| |
| Abstract | The author investigated the effect of radioactive hot spring bathing on serum iron values. The serum iron values were measured by Umemoto-Yamamoto's method using o-nitrosoresorcin monomethylether, as a colour-developing reagent. The chemical compositions of the spring water used is as following: pH : 7.04, Rn : 38-151x10(-10)curies/l, K(+) : 14.0, Na(+) : 540.2, Ca(++) : 61. 2, Mg(++) : 6.6, Fe(++) : 89.0, AI(+++) : 0.1, Cl(-) : 709.5, S0(4)(--) : 179.5, HCO(3)(-) : 226.7, H(2)SiO(3) : 89.0, HBO(2) : +, CO(2) : 29.5, totaling 1,827mg/kg. 1) Single bathing: The iron values in the serum were measured before and after 0, 1/2, 1 and 2 hours after the radioactive thermal bathing for 10 minutes in water of 41 ±2℃ in temperature. Single thermal bathing showed no significant effect on the serum iron values in healthy hnman subjects, but the serum iron concent:'ations in healthy white rabbits tended to decrease following single thermal bathing and to remain at a decreased level for 1/2 to 1 hour, and returned to normally within 2 hours from the time of the bathing (Table 1, 2 and Fig. 1, 2). 2) A series of baths: The author examined the serum iron values of patients with rheumatic disorders before and 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th days after in the course of "a series of baths" in radioactive hot spring. Patients bathed in water of 41 ± 2℃ in temperature, for 5-10 minutes, 2 or 3 times daily. A fall in the serum iron values was seen on the 3rd to 7th days. At that time the pattern of iron absorption from intestine showed a iron dificiency anemia type. The rate of absorption of iron was rapid. At about the 14th day, the serum iron values of patients tended to increase but unbound iron-binding capacity of the serum decreased. Subsequently, the serum iron values returned to the initial levels between the 21st and 28th day (Table 3, 4, 5, and Fig. 3, 4, 5), 3) It is said that the reticulo-endothelial system plays an inportant part in iron metabolism. The author injected 5 ml of Indian ink into the aural vein of rabbits for the purpose of blocking the reticulo-endothelial system. These procedures were carried out once a day for 7 successive days. The rabbits with "a blockade of R. E. S." had no significant change in the serum iron values during a series of baths. From what has been stated in the above, it may be said that bathing in radioactive hot springs regubtes the iron metabolism of patients with anemia and brings about the acceleration of the medullary function. |

| Title Alternative | Study on the conbined therapy of spa and gold salt in rheumatoid arthritis Part II. An experience of granulocytopenia possibly caused by gold salt preparation |
| FullText URL | pitsr_039_037_042.pdf |
| Author | Ikegami, Tadaoki| Yahata, Takaaki| Kitayama, Minoru| Morinaga, Hiroshi| |
| Abstract | A thirty seven years old woman with rheumatoid arthritis was instituted gold salt intramuscularly twice a week on the nineteenth hospital day. On the fifty fourth day, however, it was discontinued at the total dosis of 180 mg because of the skin rush. In about ten days after stopping gold injection appeared high fever with shivering and granulocytopenia was demonstrated. With immediate administration of ACTH, adrenocortical hormons etc. including blood transfusion the abnormal findings of the blood pictures returned to normal and the patient became well. Recently, gold salts are so widely used in treatment of rheumatoid arthritis as one of specific antirheumatic agents that the possible severe side effect such as granulocytopenia, if quite rare, should always be considered in the course of gold therapy. |

| Title Alternative | Clinical studies on electromyographic changes in rheumatoid arthritis Part II. Electromyographic changes in treated rheumatoid arthritis during 3 months after admission |
| FullText URL | 039_013_035.pdf |
| Author | Ikegami, Tadaoki| |
| Abstract | Electromyograms were recorded on 15 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (12 cases of classical rheumatoid arthritis and 3 cases of definite rheumatoid arthritis) and 5 cases of healthy controls. The muscles selected were the biceps brachii, opponens pollicis and abductor pollieis brevis, and following results were obtained: 1) The amplitude and mean potential duration in rheumatoid arthritis were less than controls, the differences being statistically significant. 2) Electromyographic evidence of myogenic atrophy was demonstrated in the small hand muscles and proximal muscles. 3) Myogenic atrophy due to steroid therapy was considered in proximal muscles, while the small hand muscles were affected more rarely. 4) Myogenic atrophy in stage III-IV were less than those in stage I-II, but in the m. opponens pollicis there were little differences. 5) Myogenic atrophy in inactive rheumatoid arthritis were significantly less than those in active, but in the m. opponens pollicis no marked changes were observed. 6) Myogenic atrophy of the m. opponens pollicis were more than that of m. abductor pollicis brevis. |

| Title Alternative | Isotopic study of Hot Springs in Japan, I Techniques for oxygen isotopic analysis of spring water |
| FullText URL | pitsr_040_033_040.pdf |
| Author | Matsubaya, Osamu| Sakai, Hitoshi| Tanaka, Hinako| Uemura, Tazue| |
| Abstract | The CO(2)-H(2)O isotopic equilibration technique was studied for the routine analyses of the oxygen isotopic ratios of hot spring water. A reaction vessel containing 2 ml of water and 0.16 m mole of tank CO(2) was shaken for 18 hrs. in a constant-temperature bath at 25.0℃ (Figs. 1, 2, and 3), and the CO(2) was analyzed for the oxygen isotopic ratio by a MCKINNEY type mass spectrometer. Several aliquots of 1, 2 and 5 ml from a same water were each analyzed three times by successive equilibration (Table 1). The observed values differ depending on the volume of water but the corrected values by equation (6) indicate excellent agreement, implying the whole processes to be well controlled. The reproducibility of the isotopic analyses is better than ± 0.1‰ (Table 2) in most cases, and the accuracy would not be worse than ± 0.2‰ as demonstrated by the interlaboratory comparison of some standard samples (Table 3). Oxygen isotopic ratios of water from more than 70 hot springs in Japan are presented (Table 5). Although the results will be discussed in the following issues of this series of paper, most hot spring water have the δ(18)O values similar to those of meteoric waters in Japan. However, spring water from Arima Hot Springs, Hyogo-Pref., which has been known by its abnormally high chloride and low sulfate concentrations is of an exceptionally high δ(18)O value. |
