Relationship between airborne pollen count and treatment outcome in Japanese cedar pollinosis patients.

In Japan, information on daily Japanese cedar pollen counts is made public during pollen season. If symptom severity and treatment outcome are predictable according to these pollen counts, management of seasonal allergic rhinitis may become more precise. The aims of the study were to evaluate the relationship between airborne pollen counts, symptom severity and treatment outcome in Japanese cedar pollinosis patients. In the randomized study, patients with moderate to most severe Japanese pollinosis were treated with fexofenadine (60 mg BD) or fexofenadine and nasal corticosteroids for 2 weeks. During the same period daily airborne pollen counts were measured. A total of 105 adult patients were enrolled. No difference of treatment efficacy was seen among groups. Detailed results of efficacy and safety were previously described elsewhere. In univariate analysis, the mean cumulative amount of airborne pollen exposure for 4 days prior to the study tended to affect symptom severity (P = 0.053) and the mean cumulative amount of airborne pollen during the treatment period tended to show difference among five treatment outcome categories (P = 0.066). In multivariate analysis, the mean cumulative amount of airborne pollen exposure for 4 days prior to the study was identified as the only significant factor of symptom severity (P = 0.0327) and cumulative amount of airborne pollen during the treatment period (P = 0.027) and allergic history (P = 0.027) were significant factors of treatment outcomes. No serious adverse effect was reported during the study. The amount of airborne pollen may be predictive of both symptom severity and treatment outcome

Effects of low temperature treatment on plantlet growth and development of Asparagus officinalis L. in vitro (AGRICULTURE)

低温処理がアスパラガスの生長と発育に及ぼす影響を\u27Mary Washington 500W\u27を用いて調査した。一節をもつ外植体を0.05mg/l NAAと0.05mg/l BA含むMS培地で培養した。20℃で4週間培養後, 5℃で1,2,4,6,8週間培養した。処理の後は再び20℃で培養した。外植体が低温に1あるいは2週間処理された時, 植物の生長と発育は20℃に戻しても抑制された。外植体が低温に4週間処理されると, 生長と発育は20℃で回復した。4週間以上低温処理が続くと, 外植体の生長と発育は回復しなかった。The effects of low temperature on growth and development of asparagus were investigated using \u27Mary Washington 500W\u27 plantlets. The explants of single node were cultured on MS medium with the combination of 0.05mg/l NAA and 0.05mg/l BA. After the culture at 20℃ for 4 weeks, the explants were treated with the low temperature treatment of 5℃ for 1,2,4,6 or 8 weeks. After the treatment, they were cultured at 20℃ again. When asparagus plants were cultured at low temperature for 1 or 2 weeks, plantlet growth and development were suppressed even at 20℃. After they were cultured at 5℃ for 4 weeks, plantlet growth and development recovered at 20℃. Whenever the low temperature treatment continued longer than 4 weeks, the growth and development of plantlets did not recover

Morphological characteristics of wasabi (Wasabia japonica Matsumura) (AGRICULTURE)

ワサビ\u27だるま-3号\u27について形態的観察を行った。ワサビは日本など温帯アジア原産植物で, アブラナ科に属し, 宿根性である。通常葉と茎の基部が可食部として収穫される。可食部は通常根茎と呼ばれることが多いが, 肥厚して短縮化した茎である。肥厚した茎は地中で成育することが多い。葉柄の基部も肥厚している。いくつかの子株が茎の基部から伸張して, 繁殖に用いられる。花には4枚の白色の花弁, 6本の雄ずいと1本の雌ずいがある。Morphological characteristics of wasabi were investigated. Wasabi, which is originated in temperate Asian area such as Japan, belongs to crucifer and is perennial. Leaf and lower stem are usually harvested. An edible portion of wasabi, which is commonly stated as a rhizome is suitable to name a shortened and swollen stem. Swollen stem is grown usually underground. Bottom part of petiole is also swollen. Some offshoots are arising from basal nodes of stem and are used for propagation. There are four petals, six stamen and a pistil in the flower

High-resolution seismic reflection survey across the Western Boundary Fault Zone of the Nagano Basin, Central Japan: Data acquisition and processing

The Western Boundary Fault Zone of the Nagano Basin borders the eastern margin of Northern Fossa Magna, which has undergone strong horizontal shortening since Pliocene. The Western Boundary Fault Zone of the Nagano Basin is considered to be a back thrust that developed on the hanging wall side of the Itoigawa-Shizuoka Tectonic Line. To reveal the subsurface structure of the Western Boundary Fault Zone of the Nagano Basin, we carried out a high-resolution seismic reflection survey along the Saigawa River, southern Nagano City. The source used in this survey was a mini-vibrator (T-15000). Source and receiver spacing was 10 m. 180 channels of geophone arrays were used to record each shot. The seismic section obtained after careful data processing shows fairly flat Quaternary basin fillings in the eastern part of the seismic line. The Quaternary basin fillings are interpreted to be in west-dipping fault contact with west-dipping Neogene strata underlying the Saigawa Hills
