| Author | Furuno, Katsushi| |
| Abstract | Radon (Rn) contents in expired air after bathing, exposure in hot-air room and drinking of Misasa radioactive hot spring water were determined using an ionization chamber equiped with vibrating reed electrometer. The results were as follows; 1. Rn Contents in the indoor and outdoor air of Misasa spa were in the range of 0.5-1.0 pCi/ℓ and 0.4-0.7 pCi/ℓ. 2. Rn contents in the expired air of persons living at Misasa spa area and none spa area were 0.4-0.9 pCi/ℓ, 0.6±0.2 (S.D.) pCi/ℓ and 0.1-0.9 pCi/ℓ, 0.5±0.2 (S.D.) pCi/ℓ respectively and no difference of Rn contents was observed in both groups. 3. The highest Rn contents in the expired air of subjects bathed in radioactive hot spring (Rn ; 58.0×10(-10) Ci/kg, watre temp. : 41±1℃.) were immediately after bathing, and the values were 10.8-25.5 pCi/ℓ (bathing for 5 min.), 16.0-27.9 pCi/ℓ (bathing for 10 min.) and 38.8-59.3 pCi/ℓ (bathing for 15 min.) respectively. Rn contents in expired air were reduced to about 1.0 pCi/ℓ during 120-180 min. after bathing. The longer the bathing time and the younger the subjects, the higher Rn contents in the expired air. The biological half-life of Rn in the expired air of subjects after bathing was 42-43 min. 4. The highest Rn contents in the expired air of subjects exposed in hot-air room (Rn in air; 54.3pCi/ℓ, air temp. : 37-38℃., humidity: 40%, staying for 15 min.), and the values were 4.9-7.8 pCi/ℓ, and gradually reduced to about 1.0 pCi/ℓ during 120 min. The bioligical half-life of Rn in the expired air after leaving the hot-air room was 43 min. 5. Rn contents in the expired air of subjects immediately after drinking of radioactive spring water (Rn contents: 596.8×10(-10) Ci/kg, 500mℓ), were the highest, and the value were 28.0-101.5 pCi/ℓ, and reduced to about 1.0pCi/ℓ during 180 min. after drinking. The biological half-life of Rn in the expired air was 40 min. |

| Title Alternative | Determination of lithium in serum by emission spectrophotometry using "Spectraspan" |
| FullText URL | pitsr_050_043_048.pdf |
| Author | Mifune, Masaaki| |
| Abstract | Lithium in serum was determined by a plasma emissionspectrophotometer "Spectraspan" (low power d.c. plasma are, operating on argon). The opitimum condition for ashing of serum by low temperature was studied. The influences of hydrochloric acid and several metallic ions (Na, K, Mg, Ca) on emission intensity were examined. There was a linear relationship between emission intensity and lithium content from 0 to 10μg/ml. Lithum in serum was easily determined by standard addition method. Precision, coefficient of variance and recovery of known amount of lithium added to the sample for 12 replicate analyses were 0.093μg/ml, 1.85%, 99-104%, respectively. Significantly positive correlationship was observed between emission spectrophotometry using spectraspan and atomic absoption spectrophotometry. |

| Title Alternative | No occcurrence of the oxygen isotope exchange with quartz glass of reaction tube through the conversion of oxygen into carbon dioxide in an externally heated carbon furnace |
| FullText URL | pitsr_050_041_042.pdf |
| Author | Matsubaya, Osamu| |
| Abstract | Two oxygens of which δ(18)O is +28.83 and -79.57‰, respectively, were converted into carbon dioxide by means of both an external heating method and a Daylight's method where a graphite rod was heated by concentration of light from a slide projecter lamp on the graphite rod, and the δ(18)O of carbon dioxides obtained in the two methods were compared to each other. Except for data affected by memory of the previous sample, the averages in the external heating method were +28.85 and -79.56‰, respectively, and quite consistent with the averages in the Daylight's method, that were +28.81 and -79.67‰, respectively. This concludes that no oxygen isotope exchange occurs between the sample gas and the quartz glass of reaction tube in the external heating method. There is no significant difference in the results in four externally heated carbon furnaces, whereas the memory of previous samples was apparently observed within each furnaces. This memory was larger in the furnaces containing a used graphite rod (Nos. 3 and 4) than those containing new one (Nos. 1 and 2), and also more significant for smaller samples (Run 4 in No. 3). However, if the reaction tube was baked out at a higher temperature (750℃) than the reaction temperature (700℃) before reaction, the memory was mostly eliminated (Run 8 in No.3). |

| Author | Furuno, Katsushi| |
| Abstract | Radon(Rn) contents in the air of radioactive spring areas were determined using an ionization chamber equipped with vibrating reed electrometer. The results were as follows: (1) Rn contents in the outdoor air at spa areas of Misasa. Sekigane and Togoo were 0.7 ± 0.4 pCi/l. 0.6±0.3pCi/l and 0.5±0.2 pCi/l respectively. Rn contents in the air both at Misasa and at Sekigane were significantly higher than at none spa area of Kurayoshi city (0.3±0.2pCi/l). (2) Rn contents in the outdoor air at Misasa spa tend to increase from June to September in the year. (3) In usual rooms where spring water is not used. Rn contens in the air were below 1.0 pCi/l. Rn contents in the air of facilities using spring water were determined; peloid therapy room: 2.0±0.4 pCi/l, usual bath rooms: 6.3±1.3 pCi/l (before the bathing). 21.8±2.1 pCi/l (immediately after bathing), Hubbard bath room: 6.7±0.3 pCi/l (before the bubbling), 143.4±69.8 pCi/l (during the bubbling), exercise pool room : 4.3±0.3 pCi/l (before the exercise). 7.4 ± 0.8 pCi/l (during the exercise) and drinking hall: 30.0～47.0 pCi/l respectively. |

| Title Alternative | The determination of uric acid using modified Patel's method |
| FullText URL | pitsr_050_025_031.pdf |
| Author | Nishimura, Yoshiko| Aoki, Hiroko| Mifune, Masaaki| |
| Abstract | N 13-b method for determination of uric acid by AutoAnalyzer- I was proposed from Technicon Corporation, but the sensitivity of this method was insufficient. According to the modification by Patel, good sensitivity was obtained for determining of uric acid, but insufficient separation between peaks was accompanied. To get good separation, Patel's method was reexamined by the authors, and the results were as follows. Sufficient separation was obtained by modifing the flow diagram of Patel's method. The mean recovery rates of uric acid added to serum and urine were 103.6% and 102.5%, and coefficients of variation were 1.27% and 1.05% respectively. The correlation between this modified Patel's method and the U.A. test Wako method was recognized (serum : n=95, r=0.97, urine : n=35, r =0.99). According to our modified method, uric acid concentration in serum of 68 subjects, were 5.8±0.9mg/100ml in 29 males and 4.4±0.8mg/100ml in 39 females. |

| Title Alternative | An isotope study of hot springs in Nagano Prefecture |
| FullText URL | pitsr_050_017_024.pdf |
| Author | Matsubaya, Osamu| Sakai, Hitoshi| Kusakabe, Minoru| Sasaki, Akira| |
| Abstract | Water samples from 28 hotsprings and mineral springs in Nagano Prefecture, central Japan, were examined for their stable isotope ratios of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and sulfur. Spring waters of Kashio are highly saline and enriched in heavy isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen (δ(18)O=-2.5～-4.6‰, δD=-54～-57‰). Linear relationships among δD, δ(18)O, and Cl(-) suggest that spring waters are the mixtures of a deep brine and local surface water. Extrapolation of the linear relationships indicates that the deep brine is both isotopically and chemically very similar to the deep brine previously suggested for the springs of Arima, Takarazuka, and Ishibotoke of which δD, δ(18)O, and Cl(-) are estimated as -33‰, +8.0‰, and 44g/l, respectively. A common origin may be warranted among these postulated brines, while their provenance is yet to be worked out. The hot springs in Matsushiro are a Na-Ca-Cl type of high carbonate content. Their hydrogen and oxygen isotope ratios (δD=-71～-46‰, δ(18)O=-9.1～-2.0‰) are higher than the local surface water. On the basis of the relationships among δD, δ(18)O, and Cl(-), they are considered to be the mixtures of fossil sea water and certain water of meteoric origin of which Cl(-) is about 4g/l and δ(18)O is higher by about 3‰ than the local surface water. The latter may be meteoric water circulating in the marine sedimentary formations (Green Tuff formations) with soluble sea salts. Isotopic exchange with carbonate minerals in the formations explains its (18)O enrichment. Spring waters from Yashio and Isobe (Gunma Pref.) as well as Yunosawa and Yatate (Akita Pref.) were previously interpreted to be mixtures of fossil sea water and local surface water of low Cl(-) content. Re-examination of their data revealed that the meteoric waters responsible for these springs contain about 3g/l Cl(-), similar to the value obtained for Matsushiro. However, unlike Matsushiro, the meteoric waters in these areas are found to be isotopically similar to the local surface waters. Waters from other hot springs studied here are of simply meteoric origin, thus belonging to the GreenTuff type water previously defined. |

| Title Alternative | Experimental study of sulfur isotope exchange between S0(4)(2-) and H(2)S (aqueous) at 400℃ and 1000 bars water pressure |
| FullText URL | pitsr_050_001_015.pdf |
| Author | Kamada, Emi| Sakai, Hitoshi| Kishima, Noriaki| |
| Abstract | Experimental procedures used in this study are the same as those developed by Sakai and Dickson (1978). 0.005 M Na(2)S(2)O(3) solutions were heated to 400℃ under 1000 bar water pressure in a gold bag of Dickson gold-bag equipment (Fig. 1). At an elevated temperature Na(2)S(2)O(3) quickly and completely decomposed into 1:1 mixture of SO(4)(2-) and H(2)S (eq. (1)) and subsequent isotope exchange (eq. (2)) was monitored by consecutively withdrawing aliquots of solution for chemical and isotopic analyses at desired time intervals. For the preparation of SO(2) for isotope analyses, 2 to 5 mg BaSO(4) was thoroughly mixed with silica glass powder of 10 times the BaSO(4) in weight and heated to 1400℃ or so in sealed, evacuated silica glass tubings (see Fig. 2 and equation (4)). The technique is a modification of Holt and Engelkemeir (1971). The (18)O/(16)O ratios of SO(2) thus formed stayed constant by exchange with silica glass powder (Fig. 3). Numerical data of the three runs performed in this study are summarized in Tables 1 to 3. In runs 2 and 3, a small aliquot of (34)S- enriched H(2)SO(4) was added into the starting solution and thus equilibrium was approached from above the quilibrium value (see Fig. 4). When isotope exchange occurs between two molecules, X and Y, the reaction rate, r, is related to the extent of exchange, F, at given time, t, by equation (17), where X and Y indicate concentrations of given species, α(e), α(o) and α denote the fractionation factor at equilibrium, at time t=0 and at an arbitrary time t, and F = (α - α(o))/(α(e) - α(0)) or the extent of isotope exchange. Assuming the exchange rate is of the first order with respect to both X and Y and to the β'th power of hydrogen ion activity, a(H)(+), eq. (17) reduces to eq. (19), where k(1) denotes the rate constant. If X, Y and pH of solution stayed constant during the run, the half-time, t(1/2), of the exchange reaction can be obtained graphically as shown in Fig. 5. The t(1/2) for runs 1, 2, and 3 are determined to be 5.8, 5.5 and 6.1 hrs, respectively. Introducing F=0.5 and t=t(1/2) into eq. (19), we obtain eq. (20) which is graphically shown in Fig. 6 using the data by the present work and those by Sakai and Dickson(1978). The numerical values of log k(1) + 0.16 may be obtained by extrapolating the lines to pH=0 and, from these values, the rate constant, k(1) , may be calculated for temperatures of 300° and 400℃. From these two values of k(1) and from the Arrhenius plot, the activation energy of the exchange reaction was calculated to be 22 kcal/mole, a much smaller value than 55 kcal/mole obtained by Igumnov (1977). The value of β is found to be 0.29 at 300℃ and 0.075 at 400℃, although the physico-chemical nature of β is not clear to the present authors. Using these values, eq. (24), where C is a constant, is derived which would enable us to calculate the t(1/2) of any system of known ΣS and pH. However, as we do not know yet how β varies with different systems, eq. (24) is applicable only to limited systems in which temperature, total sulfur contents and pH are similar to those of the present study. Fig. 7 illustrates how t(1/2) varies with pH and total sulfur content at 300° and 400℃ and predicts t(1/2) for some solutions obtainable by hydrothermal reactions of seawater with various igneous rocks. The average equilibrium fractionation factor at 400℃ obtained by this study is 1.0153, in good accord with 1.0151 given by Igumnov et al. (1977). Theoretical fractionation factors between SO(4)(2-) and H(2)S have been calculated by Sakai (1968) , who gives too high values compared to the experimental data obtained by this and other researchers (Fig. 9). In the present study, the reduced partition function ratio (R.P.F.R.) of SO(4)(2-) was recalculated using two sets of the vibrational frequencies of SO(4)(2-) (shown in Table 5) and the valence force fields of Heath and Linnett (1947), which reproduces the observed frequencies of SO(4)(2-) better than Urey-Bradley force field used by Sakai (1968). The results of new calculation are shown in Table 6. This table also includes the R.P.F.R. of H(2)S which was calculated by Thode et al. (1971). Using these new R.P.F.R. of SO(4)(2-) and H(2)S, the fractionation factors between SO(4)(2-) and H(2)S were calculated and are listed in the last column of Table 6 and plotted in Fig. 9. Fig. 9 indicates that the new calculation gives values more shifted from the experimental values than before. The major sulfate ions in our solution at 300° and 400℃ exist as NaSO(4)(-) (Sakai and Dickson, 1978; see also Table 4 of this paper) and, therefore, the measured fractionation factors are those between NaSO(4)(-) and H(2)S. The discrepancy between the theory and experiments may, at least, be partially explained by this fact, although other more important reasons, which are not known to us at the moment, may also exist. |

| 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. |

| Title Alternative | Changes in plasma metabolites after the injection of noradrenalin -effect of hot spring serial bathing- |
| FullText URL | pitsr_051_053_056.pdf |
| Author | Seno, Toshinobu| |
| Abstract | In attempt to clarify the effect of serial bathing on metabolic actions of noradrenaline (NA) by using rats which took a bath (for 10 minutes, 40℃ in temperature) in the hot spring in Misasa or a city water once daily for one and four weeks, changes in plasma metabolites after the injection of NA (20μg/100g, subcutaneously) were studied. No significant difference in the rising degree of plasma free fatty acid (FFA) or glucose levels by NA injection was observed in rats which took serial bathing for one week, while triglyceride levels of rats, which took a city water bath, rised significantly by NA in jection. After serial bathing for four weeks, however, remarkable difference in the rising degree of FFA levels by NA injection was observed between rats taking a city water bath and ones taking hot spring bath and between rats taking a bath and non-treated ones. The rising degree of glucose levels by NA injection was slightly supressed only in rats taking a city water bath compared with nontreated rats. Little difference in the rising degree of β-hydroxybutyrate levels by NA injection was observed in rats taking serial bathing for one or four weeks compared with non-treated rats. |

| Title Alternative | Effect of hot spring serial bathing on plasma metabolites |
| FullText URL | pitsr_051_049_052.pdf |
| Author | Seno, Toshinobu| |
| Abstract | In order to study the effect of bathing for 10 minutes, 34℃ and 40℃ in temperature, in the hot spring in Misasa on plasma metabolites of rats which took a bath once daily for one, two and four weeks, the body weight and the catecholamine, free fatty acid(FFA) and glucose contents in plasma were measured after serial bathing. The body weight tended to decrease by serial bathing compared with non-treated rats. Plasma noradrenaline (NA) content decreased slightly after one and four weeks-serial bathing, but no change was observed after two weeks-serial bathing. Adrenaline content showed the same tendency to decrease as NA content after one and four weeks-serial bathing, but it increased slightly after two weeks-serial bathing. Plasma FFA contents increased by serial bathing compared with those in controls. As to plasma glucose content, a slight decreasing tendency was observed after four weeks-serial bathing although no change was observed after one and two weeksserial bathing. |

| Author | Seno, Toshinobu| |
| Abstract | The present experiments were undertaken to elucidate the effect of serial bathing on plasma metabolites of rats. The rat took a bath for 10 minutes, 34℃ and 40℃ in temperature, in a city water once daily for two or four weeks. After serial bathing, the body weight and the catecholamines, free fatty acid (FFA) and glucose contents in plasma were measured. The results are as follows: 1) The body weight showed a marked decrease after four weeks-serial bathing compared with that of the non-treated rats. 2) After two weeks-serial bathing, the noradrenaline (NA) content decreased slightly, but the adrenaline (A) content increased slightly compared with those in controls. After four weeks-serial bathing, no changes were observed in NA and A contents. 3) Plasma FFA content tended to increase by serial bathing compared with that in controls. 4) Although plasma glucose content tended to increase after two weeks-serial bathing, no change was observed after four weeks-serial bathing compared with that in corresponding controls. |

| Title Alternative | Determination of environmental radiation at radioactive spa areas in the Sanin districts |
| FullText URL | pitsr_051_025_033.pdf |
| Author | Furuno, Katsushi| |
| Abstract | Dose rates of environmental radiation were determined with NaI (Tl) cristal scintillation survey meter at Misasa, Sekigane and Ikeda spa areas which were known as radioactive spring in the Sanin districts. The results were as follows ; (1) Dose rates of radiation in the air of outdoor at spa areas of Misasa, Sekigane and Ikeda were 11.8±2.3μR/h, 11.3±2.1μR/h and 18.4±5.8μR/h, respectively. Dose rates of radiation in the air of these spa areas were significantly higher (P<0.01) than at none spa area of Kurayoshi city (8.6±1.2μR/h). Dose rates of radiation in the outdoor air at Misasa and Sekigane tends to increase near the spring sources. (2) In the room where spring water is not used, dose rates of radiation in the air were 9.5～10.5μR/h. Dose rates of radiation in the air of the room with facilities using spring water were determined; peloid therapy room: 13.3±0.5μR/h, Hubbard bath room : 12.5±0.4μR/h, drinking hall : 11.8±0.7μR/h, hot air bathing room : 18.2±1.7μR/h, usual bath room (Onkensen) : 13.0±1.0μR/h and bath room for patients : 17.9±1.2μR/h (males), 17.0±1.2μR/h (females), respectively. Dose rates of radiation in the air of the bath room of Gunze-hotel and Ohashi-hotel-Gankutsunoyu were 30.1±9.0μR/h and22.3±3.0μR/h, respectively. At Ikeda spa, dose rates of radiation in the air of the guest room and the bath room were range of 13.0～19.0μR/h and 14.0～23.0μR/h. |

| Title Alternative | Ketamine-amitriptyline therapy for the intractable cancer pain with restlessness |
| FullText URL | 051_021_023.pdf |
| Author | Noishiki, Yasuharu| |
| Abstract | A combination therapy of ketamine-amtriptyline for the intractable pain with restlessness of cancer patients in the end stage was presented. Seven patients with peritonitis carcinomatosis due to recurrence of stomach cancer were administrated the therapy. They ranged in age from 29 to 79 years. The results were eminently desirable. Intractable pain with restlessness were diminished by the therapy though languid feeling was yet remained. Anodyne (pentazocine), which was nessesary many times in one day before the therapy, was not used in the duration of the therapy. The experimental and clinical studies of analgesic property of ketamine by HATANO revealed that it is more twice as potent an analgesic in low dosage compared with pethidine, despite its rather short duration of action. There was no respiratory depression. No hypotension nor bradycardia were observed during the therapy. The only use of ketamine however, could not release the pain and anguish of cancer patients. The author applied amitriptyline to these cases. The combination use of ketamine and amitriptyline could release them. These drugs demonstrated their full effect by the combination use. |

| Title Alternative | The effect of thermal bathing upon platelet function |
| FullText URL | 051_017_020.pdf |
| Author | Noishiki, Yasuharu| |
| Abstract | The effect of thermal bathing upon platelet function was examined in clinically. Platelet number, adhesiveness and aggregation were examined in the 10 patients before and after a single bathing for 10 minutes, 41-43℃ in temperature. The diseases of the patients were external pile, duodenal ulcer, benign sigmoid colon polyp, etc. The specific diseases which interact the platelet function such as blood diseases and arterial occlusive diseases were not included. Antithrombogenic drugs were not used in any patients. The results of this study were summarized as follows. 1. Platelet number did not showd systemical alteration by the bathing. 2. Both platelet adhesiveness and aggregation were changed to the lower degree after the bathing except a few cases. From these results, it was clarified that the thermal bathing was effective to control the platelet function and also effective in clinically to the prevention, therapy and rehabilitation of arterial occlusive diseases of heart, brain and the extremities. |

| Abstract | Chest radiographs were examined in 147 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who were admitted at the Department ofInternal Medicine, Okayama University, Misasa Medical Branch during last ten years. The results were as follows. 1) Diffuse micronodular shadow on chest radiographs was shown in eighty nine out of 147 cases (60.5%), although the incidence of micronodular shadow was 47.3% in the other types except type 1, demonstrating the shadow limitted in the part of lower lung fields. The incidence in type 2 and 3, revealing micronodular shadow distributed over lung fields, was 22.4%. 2) The incidence of micronodular shadow was more frequently found in females than in males. The results obtained here was different from those previously reported. 3) The cases with type 2 and 3 tended to demonstrate a long duration of the desease, acceleration of ESR, positive rheumatoid factors, and elevation of serum γ-globulin and IgG levels, compared with the other types and cases without radiological findings. 4) Pulmonary lesions induced by treatment of gold or penicillamine were not recognized, except one suspected case with gold therapy. |

| Title Alternative | Isotopic Analysis of Rb and Sr Using a Full Automatic Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer |
| FullText URL | pitsr_052_051_070.pdf |
| Author | Kagami, Hiroo| Okano, Osamu| Sudo, Hiroshi| Honma, Hiroji| |
| Abstract | Analytical method for strontium isotope ratios and rubidium and strontium concentrations has been established using a full automatic thermal ionization mass spectrometer. The machine is a modified model "MAT 260" of Varian MAT LTD. Each of simultaneously loaded thirteen samples is successively analysed full automatically following to a specific controling program which has been selected as being most suitable for each sample. However, the most characteristic feature of this machine compared to other types is computer controled peak jumping and peak centering before measurment of the signal of each peak. By this the accuracy of isotopic measurement has been surprisingly improved. Analytical procedures are described in detail which include decomposition of samples, separation of Rb and Sr, loading samples on filament and mass spectrometry. Accuracy and reproducibility of isotope analyses are excellent : 43 separate analyses of standard sample NBS 987 over one year gave a mean (87)Sr/(86)Sr ratio of 0.710238 (normalized to the (88)Sr/(86)Sr ratio of 8.375209) with a value of 20δ of 0.000008. The ratio obtained is slightly higher than the value of 0.71014 given by NBS, but it is almost identical to the mean of recently reported twenty analyses. Our determinations for Rb and Sr concentrations of standard samples are as follows : JG-1, Rb 184.4 ppm, Sr 185.5 ppm; JB-l, Rb 41.5Ppm, Sr 448.4 ppm , each of which is near the mean of reported values for corresponding element of the sample (ANDO et al., 1974). Concentrations of Rb and Sr in pure water and regents used in chemical treatement of samples were also measured; a possible error due to the contamination is negligible for most geochemical samples. |

| Title Alternative | The Effect of Thermal Spring Water on Drug Absorption in Special Reference to Aspirin and Indomethacin |
| FullText URL | pitsr_052_045_050.pdf |
| Author | Okamoto, Teruko| Hirano, Mitsuhiro| Furuno, Katsushi| |
| Abstract | It is thought that a drug reacts differently with media taken internally. The solubility of Aspirin is assured 600μg/ml in 30min. with Misasa spring water, whereas 400μg/ml with plain water. The parallel difference of 200μg/ml follows 10 min. thereafter. Maximum serum concentratin of 200μg/ml is obtained 2 hours after the internal use of Aspirin with Misasa spring water in parallel difference of 20μg/ml with plain water. In the case of Indomethacin intake, maximum serum concentration of 1.5μg/ml is obtained in 2 hours with plain water, whereas maximum serum concentration of 1μg/ml is obtained in the same period with Misasa spring water. However, the difference of 0.25μg/ml in serum concentration between the media internally taken is seen initially and after 4 hours under high concentration of Indomethacin. We, therefore, assume tentatively that the effect of Aspirin and Indomethacin is supposed to be enhanced with Misasa spring water taken internally. |

| Title Alternative | An Experience of the "Thermalstollenkur" in Böckstein-Badgastein, Austria |
| FullText URL | pitsr_052_039_044.pdf |
| Author | Komoto, Yoshiaki| Komoto, Junko| |
| Abstract | The balneotherapeutic tunnel of Radha usberg is located in Badgastein 1280 meter above the sea level and was instituted to offer a new and unique thermal therapy in 1954. The ther mal therapy is performed for a period of 8 months from February to October seasonally on patients of more than 35,000 from all over the world. The information given by chief Dr. Beate Sandri is summarized as follows; There are 3 cooperative acting factors such as the heat inside the tunnel of 37.5-41.5℃, high humidity and high content of Radon. They stimulate a pituitary - adrenocortical system enough to sedate the vicious circle of pain pathology and to improve a peripheral tissue perfusion. This balneotherapy is completed preferably in combination with massage and exercise, and is repeated in each season with patience. The indications are as follows; 1. chronic rheumatic arthritis, 2. degenerative arthrosis, 3. collagen diseases, 4. gout, 5. peripheral vascular diseases, 6. posttraumatic disorders, 7. central and peripheral nerve disorders, 8. allergic diseases, 9. hormonal and autonomic nerve disorders. Cure effect is evaluated by the improvement of subjective symptoms such as relief from pain, extension of the range of movement, increase of daily activities and so on, regardless of the pathology of each joint. The balneotherapy aims to stimulate patients' own abilities, so that the potential curability of the patients is set forth as a premise; so called end stage patients are beyond the remedy as Prof. Scheminzky insists. |

| Title Alternative | Attention to the Developmental Aspect Part I. Female Adolescent Cases of Anorexia Nervosa |
| FullText URL | 052_033_037.pdf |
| Author | Komoto, Junko| |
| Abstract | The author reviewed 55 patients who had been treated as anorexia nervosa at the neuropsychiatric department of Okayama University Medical School and at the internal medicine department of Misasa Branch Hospital, Okayama University Medical School, for the past ten years from 1970 to 1980. The criteria for the present study was as follows; 1) absence of psychosis and no known physical illness for ematiation, 2) weight loss of at least 2096 of original body weight, 3) duration of anorexia of at least three months. 55 patients were classified into three groups according to the age of onset ; pre-puberty group. adolescent group and adult group. Analysis of two female adolescent cases was described in this report for the preliminary study. The results were as follows : 1) Onset of self-starvation coincided with competitious hyperactivity in sport and/or study. Self-starvation seemed to have psychological meaning of retaliation towards the mother of each patient, of compensatory gain in the dependancy need. and of keeping a pride in pubertal competitions including a pursuit in the slim body image. 2) There was the evidence of a disturbed female-identification which originated from the disturbed mother-child interaction. 3) Catharsis with analytically oriented psychotherapy improved gastro-intestinal disorders such as anorexia and constipation and reversed the negative BMR (basal metabolic rate) to the positive BMR. Recovery of menstrual periods was followed in an accordance with re-gain of the original body weight. |
