Abstract In previous studies, we have demonstrated that chronic administration of systemic glucocorticoids decreases cortical bone mineral density (BMD), cortical bone volume, bone strength, and induces development of pathologic fractures in asthmatic patients. We have also demonstrated that glucocorticoid administration appears to be responsible for the process of cortical bone porosity at both endosteal and intracortical sites in postmenopausal asthmatic patients. There is a difference of gonadal hormones between male and female. To investigate the influence of hormonal difference on glucocorticoid-induced cortical bone porosity, we studied cortical bone volume and BMD in both male and female patients with asthma in this report. A total of 99 asthmatic patients (male 26 cases, female 73 cases) were enrolled in the study. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) was used to measure cortical BMD and relative cortical volume. The cortical volume-density relationship appeared to remain constant regardless of the level of systemic glucocorticoid administration, age or sex, suggesting cortical bone porosity causes similar and simultaneous decreases in cortical bone volume and density. In conclusion, glucocorticoid administration appears to be responsible for the process of cortical bone porosity at both endosteal and intracortical sites despite the gonadal hormonal differences.

Abstract Dietary supplementation with perilla seed oil, a vegetable oil rich in α -lin- olenic acid, inhibits the generation of leukotrienes(LTs) by leucocytes in patients with bronchial asthma. We examined the factors that affect the suppression of LT generation by leucocytes with perilla seed oil-rich supplementation in patients with asthma, by comparing the clinical features of patients with asthma, whose generation of leukotriene (LT) C4 was suppressed by dietary supplementation with perilla seed oil (n-3 fatty acids) (group A), with those of patients who showed no suppression of LTC4 generation (group B). Group A showed a significant increase in the generation of LTB4 and L TC4 by leucocytes after corn oil-rich supplementation (n-6 fatty acids), and a significant decrease in the generation of LTB4 and LTC4 after perilla seed oil-rich supplementation (n-3 fatty acid). However, this was not observed in group B. The level of serum IgE and peak expiratory flow (PEF) in group A were significantly higher than in group B. Furthermore, the serum levels of LDL-cholesterol, β-lipoprotein and phospholipid were significantly lower in group A than in group B. These results suggest that the clinical features differ between these two asthmatic populations with respect to suppression of LTB4 and LTC4 generation by n-3 fatty acids in perilla seed oil-rich supplementation.

Abstract The body surface peripheral circulation in 12 cases, including 9 patients with diabetes mellitus who were suffering coldness, numbness or pain in their feet, and 3 healthy volunteers was examined using Laser-Doppler blood flowmetry. At the same time, the body surface temperature was estimated by thermography. Thermographic results were analyzed quantitatively by calculating a recovery ratio as : Recovery ratio = [Total counts of thermography(Pixels) over temperature (T) after cold loading] ÷ [Initial counts over T before cold loading] x 100(%). The recovery ratio and the blood flow were correlated, r=0.68, p

Abstract Pathological changes of nasosinus occur often in subjects with bronchial asthma. Coexisting nasosinus lesion may affect pathophysiology of lower respiratory tract in asthmatics. The extent of nasal and sinus lesion was quantified in 17 patients with bronchial asthma, and their relationships to atopic status, asthma severity and bronchial hyperresponsiveness were evaluated in this study. Opacification degree of maxillary sinuses and nasal mucosa thickening were quantified using CT scans. The opacification degree was evaluated as (total opacification area)/(total maxillary sinus area). Although the opacification degree of maxillary sinuses in atopic patients showed no significant difference compared with that in non-atopic patients, maximum nasal mucosa thickening in atopic patients had a significant difference compared with that in non-atopic patients (p=0.028). In severe asthmatics, the opacification degree of maxillary sinuses was significantly more prominent compared with those in moderate and mild asthmatics (p=0.0005, p=0.036, respectively). Significantly marked nasal mucosa thickening was recognized in mild asthmatics compared with that in moderate asthmatics (p=0.0462). Regarding bronchial hyperresponsiveness, a significant correlation between Dmin and the opacification degree of maxillary sinuses was observed (rs= -0.551, p=0.0276). Nasal mucosa thickening had no correlation with bronchial hyperresponsiveness. The results suggest that sinusitis may affect bronchial hyperresponsiveness and asthma severity. Treatment of sinusitis may lead to improvement of asthma symptoms.

Abstract The significance of the low attenuation area (LAA) of the lungs on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has not been determined in patients with asthma. We examined the relationship between the percentage of lung area with CT numbers lower than -950HU (% LAA) and the mean CT number in 81 patients with reversible airway obstruction (asthma) and in 22 healthy subjects, as well as the relationship between maximal % LAA and various parameters of pulmonary function, smoking history, disease severity and allergic type in the asthmatic subjects. The mean CT number was obtained by scans at three anatomic levels, and maximal % LAA was the % LAA which had the largest value of those measured at the three anatomic levels of the lung. We found that: 1. The mean CT number was closely related to the maximal % LAA of the lungs in all subjects studied (r= -0.916, p

Abstract The generation. of leukotrienes 84 (LT84) and C4 (LTC4) by leucocytes stimulated with Ca ionophore A23187 was examined in 71 patients with asthma (42 with atopic and 29 with nonatopic asthma) and 23 healthy controls. Of these patients,22 had SDIA (steroid-dependent intractable asthma). 1. The generation of LT84 and LTC4 by leucocytes was significantly more enhanced in patients with atopic, non-SOIA asthma than in healthy subjects, but not in patients with nonatopic asthma. The generation of LT84 and LTC4 in atopic asthma was significantly more decreased in patients with SOIA than in those with non-SOIA. 2. The LTC4 generation was significantly larger in attack stage than in attack-free stage of patients with atopic and nonatopic asthma when they had not SOIA. However, no significant difference was found in LT84 generation between attack and nonattack stages in these patients. 3. In patients with SOIA, no significant differences were observed in the generation of LT84 and LTC4 between attack and nonattack stages. The results suggest that IgE-mediated allergy and asthma attacks enhance and glucocorticoids inhibit the generation of LT84 and LTC4 by leucocytes.

Abstract In a previous study, we demonstrated that chronic administration of systemic glucocorticoids decreases cortical bone mineral density (BMD) and induces development of pathologic fractures in asthmatic patients. To investigate cortical bone porosity due to glucocorticoids, we studied cortical bone volume, BMD, bone strength, and fractures in patients with asthma in this report. A total of 82 postmenopausal asthmatic patients were enrolled in the study. Vertebral fractures were diagnosed via plain spinal radiograms. Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) was used to measure cortical BMD, relative cortical volume, and Strength Strain Index (SSI). Multiple regression analysis, Student's t test, and other statistical analyses were performed. Patients with systemic glucocorticoids therapy had lower cortical BMD, relative cortical volume, SSI, and more number of vertebral fractures than patients without it. Lifetime cumulative dose of glucocorticoids was related to cortical BMD, relative cortical volume, SSI, and the number of vertebral fractures. The cortical volumedensity relationship appeared to remain constant regardless of systemic glucocorticoid administration. The number of vertebral fractures correlated highly with cortical BMD, relative cortical volume, and SSI at the radius. In conclusion, systemic glucocorticoid administration decreases cortical bone density, cortical bone volume, and bone strength. G lucocorticoid administration appears to be responsible for the process of cortical bone porosity at both endosteal and intracortical sites. Given that both cortical bone density and volume provide bone strength, cortical bone porosity was seen to contribute to glucocorticoid - induced bone strength loss and fractures.

Abstract N-3 fatty acids have been reported to be effective for asthma. In the present study, the effects of perilla seed oil (n-3 fatty acids) on asthma were compared with the effects of corn oil (n-6 fatty acids) in terms of pulmonary function, lipometabolism and the generation of leukotriene C4 (LTC4) by leucocytes. A total of 28 asthmatic patients were randomly divided into two groups : Group A patients (15 subjects) consumed perilla seed oil-rich supplementation, while Group B patients (13 subjects) consumed corn oil-rich supplementation for 4 weeks. Generation of LTC4 by leucocytes, respiratory function and the serum levels of lipids were compared between the two groups. The generation of LTC4 by leucocytes decreased significantly in Group A subjects following perilla seed oil-rich supplementation for 2(P < 0.05) and 4 weeks(P < 0.01). A significant difference in the generation of LTC4 was observed between the two groups after different dietary supplementations for 4 weeks (P < 0.05). Significantly increased values for PEF (P < 0.01), FVC (P < 0.05) and FEV1.0 (P < 0.05) were found in Group A subjects following perilla seed oil supplementation for 4 weeks, compared with the initial value prior to supplementation. A significant decrease in the serum level of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and phospholipid was detected in Group A subjects following perilla seed oil supplementation for 4 weeks. The present results suggest that peril la seed oil-rich supplementation is effective in the treatment of asthma in terms of its ability to suppress LTC4 generat ion by leucocytes, and in inducing an improvement in pulmonary function associated with changes in the serum level of lipids.

Abstract The purpose of this study is the effect of partial cold-loading on whole body peripheral circulation. The body surface peripheral circulation in 24 cases (25 years old to 86 years old, the average was 64.3 years) who were suffering coldness, numbness or pain in their feet was examined using Laser-Doppler blood flowmetry. The peripheral circulation at the base of the 2nd toe of the right foot was estimated after the foot was submerged and cooled for 5 min in a water bath at 20°C (i. e. cold-loading). At the same time, the distant body surface peripheral circulation was estimated at the base of the 2nd finger of the right hand. Simultaneous observations were made of blood flow, blood mass and blood velocity. The peripheral blood flow of the upper limbs at a room temperature of 20°C (pre-loading) was 5.00 ml/min 100 9 tissue on average. The average blood rnass was 287 and the average blood velocity was 0.516. On the other hand, the average peripheral blood flow of the lower limbs was 2.23, the average blood mass was 149 and the average blood velocity was 0.574. This result shows that the blood flow and blood mass of the upper limbs were more than in the lower limbs. The average blood flow at the upper limbs decreased to 3.69 from 5.00 (or at 26.2% ) when the lower limbs were submerged and cooled for 5 min in a water bath at 20°C (i. e. cold-loading). On the other hand, blood flow of the lower limb was 1.51 m l under a condition of cold-loading, and decreased 32.3% from 2.23. Blood mass of the upper limb was 241 on average and decreased 16.0% from 287. Blood mass of the lower limb was 113 on average and decreased 24.2% from 149. There was no difference between blood velocity of the upper limb under the conditions of room temperature at 20°C (0.516) and cold-loading (0.501). However, blood velocity of the lower limb increased to 0.642 from 0.574. After the end of cold loading, there was some tendency for blood flow, blood rnass and blood velocity to return to the amount at pre-loading. Twenty minutes after the end of cold-loading, blood flow increased to 5.74 (14.8% ) compared with pre-loading (5.00). However, blood flow of the lower limb remained at only 83.9% (1.87) of the amount at pre-loading (2.23). These results show that partial cold-loading of the lower limb had a quantitative effect on the distant peripheral circulation. The speculated mechanism of this phenomenon is that it to protects against loosing body heat from the body surface under the conditions of local cold-loading. Our body has defense mechanisms to decrease whole body peripheral circulation to protect against loosing body heat.

Abstract The correlation between the efficacy of 4-weeks administration with pranlukast, leukotriene receptor antagonist, and LTs generation by peripheral leukocytes were evaluated in 18 patients with mild-persistent asthma. The efficacy of pranlukast administration was assessed by symptom, morning PEF and pulmonary function. Pranlukast were effective in 12/18(67%) patients. In those patients, LTC4 generation before pranlukast administration was significantly high, compared with that in pranlukast-ineffective patients. LTC4 generation decreased after 4-weeks administration with pranlukast in effective patients. In ineffective patients, however, LTC4 generation increased after 4-weeks administration. LTB4 had shown no significant difference between effective and ineffective patients before administration, and LTB4 decreased after 4-weeks in both groups. Proport ion of peripheral eosinophi Is in effective patients were higher than that in ineffective patients, however not significant. After 4-weeks, proportion of eosinophi Is was decreased in effective patients and increased in ineffective patients. These findings suggest that pranlukast is effective for patients with high LTC4 generation and has the effect to suppress the accumulation of eosinophils in such patients.

Abstract The influence of smoking on pulmonary function and emphysematous changes of the lung (percentage of attenuation area < -950 HU (% LAA) on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was examined in 49 patients with bronchial asthma. 1. In patients with asthma, the % residual volume (RV) in many nonsmokers was less than 129%, in contrast, the % RV in many smokers was between 130% and 189% , which was higher than that in nonsmokers. 2. Significant correlations between % RV and 96LAA value, and between % RV and CT number were observed both in nonsmokers and smokers with asthma, in which as % RV more increased, % LAA value was larger, and CT number was lower. 3. % DLco value was lower in smoking patients with asthma, whose % RV was between 130% and 189% and larger than 190% , however, the % DLco value did not change in nonsmoking patients despite of higher valure in % RV. 4. A significant correlation was also observed between % FEV1.0 value and % RV both in smoking and nonsmoking patients with asthma; as % RV value more increased, % FEV1.0 value was lower. 5. Any correlation between % FVC value and % RV was not observed. These results suggest that smoking affects the % LAA of the lung on HRCT and % DLco in patients with asthma.

Abstract Background: Assessment of low attenuation areas and lung densitometry on high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) have been reported in studies of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Objective : The purpose of this study was to examine if HRCT could separate asthmatic patients from normal control subjects and patients with emphysema. Methods : Subjects were divided into three groups : 24 patients with bronchial asthma, 23 patients with pulmonary emphysema and 15 normal controls. HRCT scans of the lung were performed at three different levels at both end inspiration and expiration in all patients and control subjects. Results : The mean CT number of three slices was significantly lower in asthmatic subjects compared with normal individuals at both end inspiration (p < 0.05) and expiration (p < 0.01). The relative area of the lung with an attenuation value lower than -950 HU (% LAA) for three slices was significantly higher in asthmatic subjects than in normal individuals at end inspiration (p < 0.05), but there was no significant difference at end expiration. The mean CT number and % LAA obtained from studies that were performed at three cm above the top of the diaphragm provided the best separation among three anatomic levels. In comparison between asthmatic and emphysema patients, both parameters were significantly different in asthmatic subjects than in those with emphysema at both end inspiration and expiration on each scan and in the total scans (p < 0.001). Conclusions : HRCT is a useful method to separate asthmatic subjects from patients with emphysema and normal subjects.

Abstract Clinical effects of spa therapy were examined in 150 patients with asthma in relation tobronchial hyperresponsiveness and patient age. 1. The efficacy rate of spa therapy was larger as the patient age was higher: the rate was 73.3% in patients under age 49, 81.8% in those between the ages of 50 and 59, 86.4% in those between the ages of 60 and 69, and 90.6% in those over age 70. The mean of efficacy rates was 83.3% in all subjects. 2. The bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BH) was lower as patient age was higher: the BH in patients between the ages of 60 and 69 and in those over age 70 was significantly lower compared to the BH in those under age 49 (p < O.OOl). 3. Clinical effects of spa therapy tended to be lower in patients with increased bronchial hyperresponsiveness. The bronchial hyperresponsiveness showed a tendency to decrease after spa therapy in whom the therapy was effective, however, the BH did not change in patients with slight or no efficacy during spa therapy.

Abstract 1993年1月より1999年12月までの7年間に当院へ入院した呼吸器疾患999例のうち閉塞性換気障害を示す829例(気管支慌息BA+COPD)を対象に,年齢,地域分布などの経年変化について検討を加えた。 1.最近7年間に当院へ入院した閉塞性呼吸器疾患患者829例のうち, 気管支喘息は636例(76.7% )であった。閉塞性呼吸器疾患のなかで気管支喘息の占める割合の経年変化では,1996年度が最も高く(84.5% )その後徐々に低下する傾向か見られ1999年度では65.5% であった。一方′肺気腫は近年増加の傾向を示し,19993年度では5.6% であったが.1999年度では25.6% であった。  2.入院患者の地域分布では,鳥取県内からの入院患者に比べ,遠隔地(鳥取県外)からの入院患者が比較的多く,この7年間の鳥取県外(遠隔地)からの入院患者は829例中433例(52.2% )であった。また,岡山,大阪,兵庫,広島,山口,愛媛,東京,神奈川などからの入院症例か多い傾向が見られた。  3.年齢別検討では,いずれの地域においても,高齢者の入院症例が多く,鳥取県内,県外を問わず,70才以上の症例の頻度が明らかに高い傾向か見られた.そして,50才以上の症例の全症例に対する頻度は,鳥取県内では80.9% ,県外では96.7% であり,県内ではその多くが,また県外ではそのほとんどが50才以上の症例であった。

Abstract A 25-year-old woman had the chief complaint of recurrent episodes of dyspnea and wheeze. Asthma had been diagnosed at infant years and sometimes experienced asthma attacks. She graduated senior high school and entered technical school in Tokyo. She received fluticasone (400μg daily) but exacerbation continued after she became an office clerk. She returned Kurashiki in October 2001 but had wheeze and asthma exacerbations. She was admitted to our hospital for evaluation and treatment of bronchial asthma on August 2, 2002. After admission, her symptoms subsided within some days. She was treated with montelukast and perilla seed oil-rich supplementation . The number of eosinophils decreased, decrease was observed in leukotriene (LT) B4 generation and in LTC4 generation, and pulmonary function improved following montelukast and perilla seed oil-rich supplementation for 4 weeks. The patient had no exacerbation under treatment and was discharged from the hospital on September 2, 2002. For some patients with persistent asthma, inhaled corticosteroids may fail to achieve adequate control possibly because corticosteroids do not completely inhibit the synthesis and release of cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) in the lung. Montelukast blocks the interaction of cysLTs with their receptor and resulting downstream events and perilla seed oil-rich diet suppresses LT generation. Combination therapy with montelukast and perilla seed oil-rich diet is more effective than montelukast or perilla seed oil-rich diet alone because of additive effects of montelukast with perilla seed oil-rich diet. We suggest that montelukast and perilla seed oil-rich supplementation are effective options when bronchial asthma patients receive inhaled corticosteroid but exacerbation continues.
