| 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. |

| Author | Morinaga, Hiroshi| Mifune, Masaaki| Furuno, Katsuaki| |
| Abstract | Misasa Spa is one of the most highly radioactive hot springs in Japan, the waters of which contain mainly (222)Rn (437±132 Bq/liter). Radon contents of indoor air of private houses and health resort hotels (built of wood) at Misasa Spa range from 18.5 to 55.5 mBq/liter and 22.2 to 129.5 mBq/liter, respectively. Radon contents in the air of facilities using spring waters at Misasa Branch Hospital of Okayama University were measured to be ; bathroom 807±78 mBq/liter; Hubbardtank bathroom 5306±2568 mBq/liter ; the drinking hall 1491±178 mBq/liter. The environmental and dose rate inside private houses has been measured to be 14.0±1.8 μR/h. Chromosome aberrations (dicentrics) in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of residents of Misasa Spa were investigated in 14 persons; the mean value of aberration frequencies were 0.21%. |

| 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 | BALNEOLOGICAL STUDIES USING RADIOACTIVE ISOTOPES (3) |
| FullText URL | pitsr_013_018_023.pdf |
| Author | Yokota, Takeo| Ashizawa, Takashi| |
| Abstract | By using labelled sodium sulfate or calcium sulfate (sulfate containing S(35)) the transition of sulfate ion into the body across the skin was investigated soon after taking a bath in sodium sulfate or calcium sulfate solution under varing conditions. Mice were used for experiments. The percutaneous absorption of sulfate ion proved to decrease gradually in the course of serial baths in sodium sulfate solntion and was accelerated by making a fresh burn on the skin of the bathed animals, but it showed a tendency to decrease as the wound became more and more healed. The application of basic dye to the skin (e.g. 1% methylenblue or 1% fuchsin solution) increased the transition of sulfate ion into the test animal. Little difference was proved between the bath in sodium sulfate and calcium sulfate solution with respect to the penetration of sulfate ion. Passage of sulfate ion from the bath water through the skin was a little promoted by the use of sodium sulfate solution than by the use of calcium sulfate solution. |

| Title Alternative | BALNEOLOGICAL STUDIES USING RADIO-ACTIVE ISOTOPES (1) ON THE MECHANISM OF THE ACTION OF SODIUM SULFATE SPRING BATH． |
| FullText URL | 007_001_005.pdf |
| Author | Oshima, Yoshio| Yokota, Takeo| |
| Abstract | Using Na(2)SO(4) labelled with S(35) transition of sulfate ion into the body across the skin was investigated soon after the bath in sodium sulfate solution at varying conditions. Mice were used as test animal. Percutaneous absorption of sulfate ion proved to be promoted at high bath temperature (45℃) than at indifferent temperature(37℃). stronger by the bath of longer duration (30min.) than by the bath of shorter duration (10min.), increased after repeated baths than after a single bath. It was accelerated by making a burn to the skin of the bathed animals. Layton and Dziewiatkowski proved that the parenterally administered sulfate ion was partly fixed in the connective tissue as chondroitin sulfate. The author had proved that chondroitin sulfate relieves pain, increases peripheral circulation and when administered parenterally promotes production of immune bodies. In Japan natural and artificial Glauber's salt spring bath are known to have a beneficial effect on wound healing, but no satisfactory explanation was given till today. Lith reported that a hypertonic solution of sodium sulfate promoten wound cure by external application and Seki showed that subcutaneous connective tissue of mice was stimulated by the bath in sodium sulfate spring. And so the abovementioned author's data seem to throw some light on solving the problem. |

| Title Alternative | BALNEOLOGICAL STUDIES USING RADIOACTIVE ISOTTPES (2) INFLUENCE OF THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF BATH WATER UPON THE TRANSITION OF SULFATE ION INTO THE BODY ACROSS THE SKIN. |
| FullText URL | 008_008_012.pdf |
| Author | Yokota, Takeo| |
| Abstract | Using Na(2)SO(4) labeled with S(85) transition of sulfate ion into the body across the skin was investigated soon after the bath in sodium sulfate solution(one gram per liter) at varying conditions. Mice were used as test animal. Percutaneous absorption of sulfate ion was promoted at indifferent bath temperature (37℃) than at lower bath temperature (25℃), became less by the addition of sodium chloride (one gram per liter) to the bath water, proved stronger at lower pH (2.0) than at higher pH (7.0 or 9.0). One of the characteristic types of mineral waters in Japan is "acid spring". And many of the Japanese acid springs contain free sulfuric acid in considerable quantity.It is known that their bath cure often causes dermatitis, socalled "Yutadare". Misawa and Oshima had proved that the level of immune bodies in blood is increased by the bath cure with dermatitis in acid springs of "KUSATSU". And the author's experiment seems to give a new significance to the ro1e of sulfate ion in the action of acid spring bath in Japan. |

| Abstract | Changes in partial pressures of each tissue gas and tissue perfusion were evaluated in the 2.5% artificial salt baths by means of medical mass spectrometry using 9 rabbits. The level of subcutaueous PO(2) lowered by 18% and PCO(2) elevated by 7 % compared with the plain water bath. The tissue perfusion volume was found increased by few %. It is assumed that we owe the warm feeling after taking concentrated salt baths to the improved tissue perfusion. |

| 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 | Evaluation of the coulter counter Model Sr |
| FullText URL | pitsr_051_057_063.pdf |
| Author | Nishimura, Yoshiko| Yamane, Sachiko| Mano, Fumie| Mifune, Masaaki| |
| Abstract | An automatic blood analyser, Coulter Counter Model Sr(CC-SR) was recently introduced in our hospital. This blood analyser is able to provide simultaneous measurements of seven blood parameters, i.e. WBC, REC, Hgb, Hct, MCV, MCH, MCHC, and also produces the results within 40 seconds from aspiration of the sample into the instrument. The performance and precision of this blood analyser have been clitically evaluated by comparing the results obtained from the previous blood cell counter, the Coulter Counter Model Dn (CC-DN), a haemoglobinometer, and a high speed centfugal separator. The results are as follows: 1) The precision and liniarity for readings and dilutions on WBC, RBC, Hgb and Hct by the use of the CC-SR is satisfactory. 2) Good correlation between the measurements by whole blood analysis procedure and micro sample analysis procedure is recognized. 3) The amount of carryover from one sample to the next is negligible for practical purpose. 4) High correlation factors are obtained between the measurements by the CC-SR method and former methods: i. e. 0.99 for WBC, 0.93 for RBC, 0.99 for Hgb and 0.99 for Hct. 5) For these reason, it can be said that CC-SR is more useful successive instrument to measure WBC, RBC, Hgb, Hct than the CC-DN and other above mentioned instruments. |
