PSEUDOMONAS CICHORII SWINGLE1925 STAPP1928ニ ヨル メボウキ コクハンサイキンビョウ シンショウ ニ ツイテ

2003年10月千葉県千倉町のビニルハウス栽培メボウキの葉,葉柄および茎に黒色水浸状斑および黒色条斑を形成し,ついには枯死する病害の発生を認めた。被害部からは細菌のみが分離され,分離菌はその病原性,細菌学的性質,血清学的性質からPseudomonas cichorii(Swingle1925)Stapp1928と同定された。P. cichoriiによるメボウキの病害は,わが国未報告であることから,病名を黒斑細菌病(英名 ; Bacterial black spot)とすることを提案した。In October, 2003, a new bacterial black spot disease was found on basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) in Chiba prefecture, Japan. This disease was characterized by the formation of irregular shaped brownish-black spots or streaks on the leaves, petioles and stems. Bacteria isolated from disease tissues produced black spots and streaks similar to natural infection on the basil by spray inoculation method. The causal bacterium was identified as Pseudomonas cichorii (Swingle 1925) Stapp1928 based on pathogenicity, bacteriological and serological characteristics. Bacterial disease of basil caused by P. cichorii has not been recorded in Japan. Therefore, we proposed the name "bacterial black spot" for this disease

ERWINIA CAROTOVORA SUBSP. CAROTOVORAニ ヨル ホワイトレースフラワー ナンフビョウ シンショウ ノ ハッセイ ニ ツイテ

2001年10月,千葉県安房郡丸山町でホワイトレースフラワーの茎および葉柄が軟化腐敗し,悪臭を放つ病害の発生を認めた。本病罹病株から分離した細菌は,ホワイトレースフラワー苗を軟化腐敗させた。分離細菌は,グラム反応陰性,通性嫌気性,37℃で発育し,グルコースを発酵的に分解,硝酸塩を還元,ラクトースを利用し酸を産生したが,インドールを産生せず,酒石酸の利用は認めなかった。以上の結果から,本分離細菌をErwinia carotovora subsp. carotovoraと同定し,病名をホワイトレースフラワー軟腐病(英名 ; soft rot)とすることを提案する。On October in 2001, a new rotting disease was found on white lace flower (Ammi majus L.) in Chiba prefecture, Japan. The diseased plant primarily showed water-soaked brown spots on the stem, petioles and leaves near the soil. The diseased tissues were rotten with peculiar odor and the whole of the plant finally wilted. Bacteria isolated from rotten tissues and isolated bacteria produced rotten symptoms on the white lace flower, chinese cabbage and cucumber plants by artificial inoculation. The causal bacterium was identified as Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora (Jones) BERGEY et.al. 1923 according to its pathogenicity and bacteriological characteristics. Bacterial disease of white lace flower has not been recorded in Japan, therefore we proposed the name "soft rot" for this disease

Simultaneous surgical treatment for esophagogastric junctional cancer and splenic artery aneurysm resection with spleen preservation using fluorescence imaging : a case report

Background: Recently, minimally invasive esophagectomy and gastrectomy for esophagogastric junctional (EGJ) cancer using either thoracoscopy or laparoscopy are frequently performed. In the past decade, minimally invasive surgery with laparoscopy for splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) has also been reported. However, patients with both EGJ cancer and SAA are rare.Case presentation: A 66-year-old man, who complained of upper abdominal pain, was found to have esophagogastric junctional (EGJ) tumor. He was diagnosed as having Siewert type II adenocarcinoma. In a computed tomography (CT) scan before surgery, a 10-mm aneurysm in the splenic artery was found. Thus, we performed laparo- and thoracoscopic proximal gastrectomy and lower esophagectomy for EGJ cancer and splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) resection with spleen preservation using fluorescence imaging.We confirmed sufficient blood supply to the spleen after surgery with a postoperative CT scan. The blood supply to the spleen was suspected to be from the great pancreatic artery via the pancreas and from the omental branches of the left gastroepiploic artery via the omental artery.Conclusion: Simultaneous surgery for EGJ cancer and SAA is rare due to its potential risk, but evaluation of the blood supply for the spleen by using fluorescence imaging can be useful for this procedure

Japanese guidelines for allergic conjunctival diseases 2017

The definition, classification, pathogenesis, test methods, clinical findings, criteria for diagnosis, and therapies of allergic conjunctival disease are summarized based on the Guidelines for Clinical Management of Allergic Conjunctival Disease (Second Edition) revised in 2010. Allergic conjunctival disease is defined as “a conjunctival inflammatory disease associated with a Type I allergy accompanied by some subjective or objective symptoms.” Allergic conjunctival disease is classified into allergic conjunctivitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and giant papillary conjunctivitis. Representative subjective symptoms include ocular itching, hyperemia, and lacrimation, whereas objective symptoms include conjunctival hyperemia, swelling, folliculosis, and papillae. Patients with vernal keratoconjunctivitis, which is characterized by conjunctival proliferative changes called giant papilla accompanied by varying extents of corneal lesion, such as corneal erosion and shield ulcer, complain of foreign body sensation, ocular pain, and photophobia. In the diagnosis of allergic conjunctival diseases, it is required that type I allergic diathesis is present, along with subjective and objective symptoms accompanying allergic inflammation. The diagnosis is ensured by proving a type I allergic reaction in the conjunctiva. Given that the first-line drug for the treatment of allergic conjunctival disease is an antiallergic eye drop, a steroid eye drop will be selected in accordance with the severity. In the treatment of vernal keratoconjunctivitis, an immunosuppressive eye drop will be concomitantly used with the abovementioned drugs
