| Abstract | Epidemiological evaluation of rural population samples of Misasa, Tomari and Kofu villages in Tottori Prefecture, Japan (Fig. 1), for occurance of rheumatic disorders was performed. This region has an annual rainfall of about 80 inches. The principal occupations are farming, and fishery in part. 1. One thousand six hundreds and twenty-seven persons, age 30 and over were investigated by clinical and serological means. In this preliminary communication the prevalence of probable and definite rheumatoid arthritis, accoding to defined by the A.R.A. criteria, was 1.04% and low back pain-sciatic pain, arthralgia and painful shoulder (cervical spondylosis and so on) were 8.4, 8.9 and 7.1% respectively (Table 2 and 4). 2. Serum samples from residents in Misasa- and Tomari-districts were obtained and rheumatoid factor was tested by means of RA-test (Hyland Laboratories). The incidence of positive test was 3.2% in 407 males and 5.0% in 715 females, but there is no significant difference between the two. Concerning the effect of age, there was a general tendency for the proportion of positive test to be greatest in the older age groups (Fig. 2). 3. Serum uric acid concentrations of 230 males and 395 females were measured by the modified method of Folin-Wu (latron-kit-method). The mean serum uric acid concentration (with standard deviation) was found to be 4.02±0.18mg. per 100ml. for males and 3.38±0.13mg. per 100ml. for females (Fig. 3 and 4), and the differecne between the two was significant. The author found no gouty patient in this papulation survey. |

| Title Alternative | The determination of copper and zinc in W-1 by the atomic absorption flame photometry |
| FullText URL | pitsr_036_037_040.pdf |
| Author | Matsui, Yoshito| Banno, Shohei| |
| Abstract | Copper and zinc in W-1 have been determined using a Jarrell-Ash Model 82-360 atomic absorption flame photometer. The results are 116 ± 3 ppm for Cu and 86 ± 3 ppm for Zn. (Errors are expressed by the probable error of the mean of four determinations.) These results compare favorably with the recently reported values, thereby suggesting that the background absorption effect is practically negligible in these concentration ranges. Net sample consumption was about 20 mg of W-1 powder per element. |

| Title Alternative | On climatology in Misasa Spa - Summary for past ten years |
| FullText URL | pitsr_036_031_036.pdf |
| Author | Matoba, Kunikazu| Yahata, Takaaki| Esawa, Hidemitsu| Inoue, Taeko| |
| 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. |
