| Abstract | We used a navigation system to insert 128 pedicle screws into 69 vertebrae (L1 to L3) of 49 consecutive patients. We assessed the pedicle isthmic width and the permission angle for pedicle screw insertion. The permission angle is the angle defined by the greatest medial and lateral trajectories allowable when placing the screw through the center of the pedicle. The rate of narrow-width pedicles (isthmic width less than 5mm) was 5 of 60 pedicles (8%) at L1, 4 of 60 pedicles (7%) at L2, and none (0%) at L3, L4 and L5. The rate of narrow-angle pedicles (a permission angle less than 15 degrees) was 21 of 60 pedicles (35%) at L1, 7 of 60 (12%) at L2, 3 of 60 (5%) at L3, and none (0%) at L4 and L5. Of 128 pedicle screws inserted into 69 vertebrae from L1 to L3, 125 (97.7%) were classified as Grade 1 (no pedicle perforation). In general, the upper lumbar vertebrae have more narrow-width and -angle pedicles. However, we could reduce the rate of pedicle screw misplacement in upper lumbar vertebra using a three-dimensional fluoroscopy and navigation system. |

| Title Alternative | ON THE EXISTENCE OF RADIUM B, RADIUM C AND THORIUM B IN MISASA HOT SPRINGS |
| FullText URL | pitsr_013_005_008.pdf |
| Author | Sato, Mitsuo| |
| Abstract | The author tried to measure RaB, RaC and ThB in the hot spring waters using G-M counter and proved the existence of RaB and ThB in Misasa Hot Springs. To 100 liters of spring water ahout 20 gms of ferric chloride and then sodium hydroxide were added. Precipitate was dissolved in hydrochloric acid and after adding bismuth and lead, the solution was saturated with hydrogen sulfide. The precipitate of sulfides was filtered and ignited to ashes after drying. The β-activity of the ashes was measured by a mica-window type G-M counter with the recording circuits of scale of 16. Natural background was 50±5 connts per minutes. Six spring waters of Misasa, namely "Spring of Branch Laboratory", "Nakayu", "Gunze" "O-T-R", "Jwayu", and "Tsukiminoyu" were investigated. RaB was detected in all samples. ThB was found only in "Gunze" and "O-T-R". ThB content of "Gunze" was estimated, to be roughly 1×10(-12) Curie units per liter. |

| Title Alternative | THE CLINICAL STUDIES OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS (I) |
| FullText URL | 016_035_048.pdf |
| Author | Morinaga, Hiroshi| |
| Abstract | The value of spa treatment of rheumatic disease is an established feature of medical management based on experiences for many centuries. The author has been practising the balneotherapy of rheumatic diseases at Misasa Spa for several years, and has found this therapy efficacious in many cases in relieving the anemia that accompanies rheumatoid arthritis. For this reason, the author is investigating the metabolism of iron in rheumatic anemia, which is expected to occur in the course of the spa treatment. In this report, the results of clinical examinations of 24 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, of the type (2. 2. 2.) Polyarthritis systemica chronica (in Prof. Kodama's classification of arthritis), are described. I. Some observations of anemia in rheumatoid arthritis 1. The peripheral blood The number of erythrocytes is 266×10(4)～455×10(4)/c. mm. (average: (381±32)×10(4)/c. mm.), Hb-content : 55～90% (average : 76±5.8%), and the color index is about 1.0. The anemia of rheumatic disease treated is mostly normochromic. The white blood count is between 3240 and 13300/c. mm. (average: 6421±955/c. mm. ), and the number of the leucocytes in 80% of the cases ranges within the normal limits. Eosinophilia is observed in 15% of the cases. 2. Anemia-producing substance in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis When serum from rheumatoid arthritis patients was injected into rabbits, the number of erythrocytes and the hemoglobin -content of the rabbits was found to decrease markedly for 2～6hours after the injection. But no such effect was observed when the serum of healthy subjects was injected. From this, the author presumes the presence of an anemia-producing substance in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis. The nature of this substance in now under investigation. II. Clinical-biochemical studies 3. Gastric acidity of rheumatic patients Of 7 cases examined, anacidity of gastric juice was observed in 2 cases, subacidity in other 2 cases and normacidity in the remaining 3 cases. Thus, a decrease in the gastric acidity was found to occur in 57% of the cases. 4. Takata-serum-test and sedimentation rate It is said that the sedimentation rate and the Weltmann-reaction are very sensitive indicators of the extent of the activity of rheumatic disease. The Takata-serum-test was applied in 18 cases and was found to give positive results in 10 cases (55%). The sedimentation rate was found to increase in 17 of 20 cases (85%). 5. Blood uric acid As is well known, the concentration of uric acid is abnormally high in the blood of patients with gout; while, according to the literature, the blood uric acid levels of patients with rheumatoid arthritis range within the normal limits. The author, using the method of Benedict, obtained the following results for blood uric acid in 14 normal subjects in fasting state: Range - 2.30～3.47mg./dl. , 5% rejection limit -- 1.97～3.68mg./dl. In 5 of 7 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, the blood uric acid levels were shown to be above the upper limit of the normal range, but the concentrations of blood uric acid of non-rheumatic joint diseases and neuralgias were mostly within the normal range. 6. Blood sugar The fasting blood sugar levels of rheumatoid patients ranged from 82 to 1l0mg./dl. (average : 100mg./dl.), higher than the levels of healthy subjects (78～108mg./dl., average : 90mg./dl.). The intravenously injected glucose load test was applied to 8 rheumatoid patients. A solution of 40 ml. of 20% glucose was injected into a fasting subject for 2 minutes. Blood samples were taken before the injection, 3 minutes after the injection, and at each subsequent 10 minute-interval for 70 minutes. The glucose tolerance curves in 5 of these cases were found to be out of the normal range. It is to be noticed that the average blood sugar for rheumatoid arthritis is similar to the curve for liver disease. 7. Serum alkaline phosphatase activity and serum phosphorus The method of Taussky-Shorr was used for the determination of the level of alkaline phosphatase activity and inorganic phosphate in the serum. The alkaline phosphatase activity of 11 normal individuals ranged from 1.4 to 6.4 Shinowara-Jones-Rheinhart units/dl. (5% rejection limit), while in 4 of 8 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, it was of abnormally high levels. The concentration of inorganic phosphate in the serum of 12 normal subjects ranged from 2.9 to 5.0mg. /dl. (5% rejection limit), while in 3 cases of rheumatoid patients, it showed higher levels than normal. 8. Total cholesterol in serum The total cholesterol in the serum of fasting normal individuals was measured by Bloor's method, and the concentration was found to range from 124 to 188mg./dl. (rejection limit of 5% level of significance), and the total cholesterol in the serum of rheumatoid arthritis to be abnormally high in concentration in 6 of 7 cases. The liver function was evaluated by the Takata-serum-test, the test of fasting blood sugar levels, the glucose load test, and the test of serum alkaline phosphatase activity; and from this the hepatic dysfunction was found to occur in rheumatoid arthritis patients in about 50% of the cases examined. Disturbances in the protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism were also found to occur. The above-mentioned findings indicate that rheumatoid arthritis is not only a disease of the joints, but also a general and systemic illness. Attention must accordingly be given to the general condition of the patient in the treatment of rheumatic disease. |

| Title Alternative | On the Underground Temperatures and Radioactivities at One Meter Depth in the Misasa Hot Spring Area |
| FullText URL | pitsr_020_055_061.pdf |
| Author | Soma, Tokuzo| |
| Abstract | Methods and Results of Measurements:-- A stick of steel was driven into the ground down to one meter depth, and a narrow pipe of aluminum or brass, closed at the upper end, was inserted and the hole covered by a board and earth. (See Fig.3.) In Fig.2 the locations for the experiments are shown by x. Fig.1 gives the atmospheric temperatures at noon, October4-21,1955, when the experiments were carried out. About three hours after the above setting had been done, the gas in the hole was replaced by a bottle of water, and was collected, by driving sprayer for five minutes with apparatus as shown in Fig.5, in a can in which an autoradiographic plate was set. (See Fig.6.) The temperature in the hole was read by means of a maximum thermometer hung in the hole for ten minutes at one meter depth. Fig.7 shows the distribution of temperatures at one meter depth thus observed. Exactly twenty four hours after the above setting, the autoradiographic plate in the can (a quarter sized Fuji ET-2E plate, 15μ thick, for contact method) was developed. For developing, the plate was immersed in Ilford D-19 for fifteen minutes, then fixed with Fuji-fix for fifteen minutes, washed with running water for forty minutes, and dried. Then those autoradiographic plate was examined under the microscope of magnification ×280, to count the number of tracks of a-particles. The results obtained are shown in Fig.8. Underground Temperature Distribution:-- On the basis of the distribution of temperatures at one meter depth (Fig.7) and of other available boring data, the distribution of undergound temperatures is estimated as shown in Fig.9 (vertical section along the Misasa river). |

| Title Alternative | THE CHANGE IN CONCENTRATION OF FERROUS IRON AND REDUCIBLE IRON, DISSOLVED IN SPRING WATER AT MISASA HOT SPRINGS, JAPAN, DURING PRESERVATION OF THE WATER SAMPLE IN A SEALED BOTTLE |
| FullText URL | pitsr_020_048_054.pdf |
| Author | Tanaka, Shigeo| |
| Abstract | The two sprigns called "Tanaka-no-Yu" and "Hisui-no-Yu" at Misasa Hot Springs, japan (Fig. 1), suitable for sampling the unpolluted water, the locations of which, are shown in Fig. 2, were chosen for this study. The o-phenanthroline method, details of which were discussed in the previous report by the author (Repts. Balneol. Lab. Okyama Univ., 17, 1, (1956)) was used for the determination of ferrous iron, ferrous iron + reducible iron, and ferrous iron + reducible iron + colloidally dispersed iron (to be referred to as "total irons" in this report). For comparison, the change in concentratin of iron dissolved in distilled water during preservation in a sealed bottle was observed, and the results obtained for the solutions with the pH values of 5.4 and 5.8 are illustrated in Fig.3 and Fig.5, rspectively. Both ferrous and reducible iron disappear within 5 minutes, when the pH of the solution is 6.4. The hydrogen ion concentration was thus seen to give a sensitive effects on the speed of diminution of ferrous and reducible iron dissolved in the distilled water. It should be noticed that no appreciable diminution was observed during the period from 60 min. to 120 min,. It is probable that the diminution of total iron is caused by the adsorption of colloidal iron hydroxides on the wall of glass bottle. The effects of charged anion (SO(4)(--)) on the change in concentration of iron during preservation was also investigated, but no appreciable effect was found. (Fig. 5 and Fig. 6). Fig.7, Fig.8, and Fig.9 show the change in concentration of iron during preservation of the spring water at "Tanaka-no-Yu". The content of iron in the spring water is about 0.3 mg/l, and its pH value is about 7.1. For the first 30 minutes, ferrous iron diminishes rapidly, the slope of the diminution curve being sharp and almost straight. Thereafter the slope becomes gentler, and, after an hour, the slope approaches nearly zero. On the other hand, ferrous iron dissolved in distilled water disappears in a moment at the same pH 7.1. Fig.10, Fig.11, and Fig.12 show the change in concentration of iron during preservation of the spring water at "Hisui-no-Yu". The content of iron in the spring water is about 1.0 mg/l, and its pH value is about 6.4. In this case, the diminution of ferrous iron is not remarkable, and only 20% of the initial quantity diminishes within 2 days. Whereas, in the case of distilled water, the diminution is very rapid at the same pH 6,4, and the ferrous iron disappears completely within 5 minutes. In Fig.13 the speed of diminution of iron in distilled water and that in spring water are compared. The difference here seen may probably be due either to that the ferrous iron in spring water is in a certain complex form not easily oxidizable, or to that the spring water contains some reducing substances. |

| Title Alternative | Clinical and Experimental Studies of Therapeutic Effects of Radioactive Thermal Bath on Peripheric Disorders of Circulation Part 1 The Effect of Radioactive Thermal Bath upon Serum Cholesterol Levels |
| FullText URL | 022_001_036.pdf |
| Author | Matsumoto, Kinshi| |
| Abstract | The author investigated the effect of radioactive hot spring bath on serum cholesterol levels. The chemical compositions of the spring waters used are described in Table I. As experimental subjects healthy men and healthy white rabbits were used. The following results were obtained. 1) Single bath. The total and ester cholesterol levels in the serum were measured by a modification of Bloor's method before and 1/2, 1, 2 and 3 hours after the radioactive thermal bath (41-43°C., for 5 minutes). The concentration of total and ester cholesterol had decreased following radioactive thermal baths (Hisui-no-Yu and Kenkyusho-Sen), and remained at a decreased level for l/2 to 2 hours, but tended to return to normalcy within three hours from the time of the bath. (Fig. 2, 3, 4, 5.) The plain-water bath and vapour bath used as a control (41-43°C., for 5 minutes and 44-47°C. for 10-20 minutes respectively), had no significant effect on the blood cholesterol levels (Fig. 7 and 8). 2) Series of baths. The author examined weekly for 4 weeks the changes in serum cholesterol in healthy subjects following "a series of baths" in radioactive hot springs. The total and ester cholesterol levels of the serum decreased during the first and second weeks and tended to return to the initial levels during the third and fourth weeks (Fig. 11). The total cholesterol levels of the serum in rabbits following "a series of baths" in KenkyushoSen (Rn-content; 10-40 Mache) increased during the second week, but the cholesterol levels of the serum, after bathing in Hisui-no-Yu (Rn-content: 300-400 Mache), tended to decrease during the first and second weeks (Fig. 9 and 10). From this experiment, it is concluded that the content of radon in hot spring water affects the concentrations of the serum cholesterol levels. 3) Following an intramuscular injection of A. C. T. H. or Cortisone, the concentrations of total cholesterol and ester cholesterol had decreased and remained at the low level for 4 hours (Fig. 12. 13, 14 and 15). 4) It is said that the reticulo-endotherial system plays an important part in cholesterol metabolism. The author injectt 5 ml. of 1% Indian ink into the aureal vein of the rabbits for the purpose of blocking the reticulo-endotherial system. These procedures were carried out once a day for 7 successive days. The total cholesterol levels of the serum in the bathed group (bathing in Kenkyusho-sen once a day for 4 weeks, 43°C., 5 minntes) were lower than those of the control (Fig. 16). From these findings, the author thinks that the fall in the serum cholesterol levels following Misasa Hot spring bathing is due to the synthetic action of many factors such as the acceleration of oxydation in the living body, and the hyperfunction of liver cells, of hypophysealadrenocortical, of reticulo-endotherial systems and of various endocrine glands, caused by radioactive thermal bathing. Alternation of vegetative nervous system and various vitamine metabolism also take part in this phenomenon. |

| 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 | The effect of pH of water on the measurement of oxygen isotopic ratio by means of CO(2)-H(2)O isotopic exchange technique |
| FullText URL | pitsr_041_001_002.pdf |
| Author | Matsubaya, Osamu| |
| Abstract | The effect of pH of water on the measurement of oxygen isotopic ratio by means of CO(2)-H(2)O isotopic exchange technique was studied. In this study, a new type of reaction vessel was used (Fig. 1). The reaction time for equilibration using this new reaction vessel was nearly equal to that in the previous study (Fig. 2). The oxygen isotopic ratios of each two samples of pH 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, and 10 were measured. There is no significant difference between the observed δ(18)O values of these samples (Table 1). Therefore it is concluded that the effect of pH of water needs not to be taken into account on the measurement of oxygen isotopic ratio by means of CO(2)-H(2)O isotopic exchange technique. |

| Title Alternative | The involvement of ear and throat in rheumatoid arthritis II. On the Rheumatoid Arthritis of Cricoaryenoid Joint |
| FullText URL | 047_025_032.pdf |
| Author | Oda, Rei| |
| Abstract | Until 1955 a few reports had been made concerning this problem. On December 1955. Montgomery, Perone and Schall reported four cases of rheumatoid arthritis of cricoarytenoid joint. It seemed to have interested other authors so that Saunders, Pearson, BakerBywaters, Copeman and Polisar reported their clinical findings. In 1957 Pearson presented a histological section of cricoarytenoid joint, showing villous synovial proliferation. In 1959 Montgomery reported another series of additional cases and microscopical findings of the cricoarytenoid joint of two patients with rheumatoid arthritis. This study did not show a complete fibrous ankylosis but severe arthritic changes were seen. In the same year Copeman et al. reported an autopsy case of rheumatoid arthritis with ankylosis of cricoarytenoid joint. In early 1960's Grossman et al. examined 55 patients with rheumatoid arthritis and found 18 patients with some suggestive evidence of cricoarytenoid arthritis. Lofgren and Montgomery examined 100 patients of rheumatoid arthritis, finding 26% of them had involvement of cricoarytenoid joint. They stated that this disease seemed to be more common and more severe in female. Bienenstock stated 17 cases of 64 randomly selected patients with rheumatoid arthritis had one or more symptoms considered to be characteristic of cricoarytenoid arthritis. He claimed that arthritis of cricoarytenoid joint occured much more frequently in patients with rheumatoid arthritis than had been suspected. At postmortem examination Grossman saw histological changes of cricoarytenoid joint characteristics of rheumatoid arthritis in 5 of 11 autopsied patients with rheumatoid arthritis and Bienenstock found the same in 7 of 8 patients. In 1963 for the third time Montgomery discussed of cricoarytenoid arthritis, based on his own experiences and many available literatures. Pathologic changes range between the mere synovial thickning and the complete disruption. Montgomery believed as others did, that in ankylosing chronic stage inspiratory bowing of both vocal cords and absolute fixation of arytenoid cartilage were diagnostic signs of rheumatoid arthritis of cricoarytenoid joint. In 1958 Darke, Wolman and Young reported five cases of laryngeal stridor, where in four cases tracheotomy became necessary. Two of them were brought to autopsy and histological examination. They found evidence of the nerve degeneration and mobile cricoarytenoid joint. The cause of nerve degeneration in the second case was an ischaemic neuropathy from rheumatoid arteritis of vasa nervorum. These findings were different from those of Montgomery and others. In 1965 Wolman, Darke and Young had an opportunity of six more autopsy examples. They confirmed from their own pathologic findings that laryngeal stridor occuring in rheumatoid arthritis was due mainly to arteritis of the vasa nervorum causing ischaemic neuropathy and that polymyositis and joint disease might augment this effect. Woldorf and Webb et aI. introduced both of these opinions. Anyhow, in U. S. A. and in England 25%-28% of rheumatoid arthritis seems to have rheumatoid arthritis of cricoarytenoid joint. On the other hand in our country there has been seen no report on rheumatoid arthritis of cricoarytenoid joint. In order, therefore, to investigate this problem author examined in medical clinic of Misasa branch hospital of Okayama university school of medicine 76 patients of classical and definite rheumatoid arthritis. Their complaints were as follows. 1) dryfeeling of throat 17 (22.4%) 2) slight hoarseness 11 (14.5%) 3) choking by long conversation 1 (1.32%) 4) slight dysphagia 2 (2.6%) The larynx was mirrored indirectly by Türk's, Killian's and Avellis's position. Any redness, swelling of mucous membrane, abnormality of vocal cords and arytenoid cartilage were not found. |
