| Title Alternative | ON THE DETECTION OF RADIOACTIVE SPRING BY GROUND WATER |
| FullText URL | 009_037_042.pdf |
| Author | Sugihara, Takeshi| |
| Abstract | The author determined the radon content in the ground waters of Misasa and its vicinity by the I. M. fontactoscope from August to November, 1952. The results and conclusions are as follocvs : A close correlation was observed between the radon contents in the spring-waters and that in the ground-waters near the springs, so it seems possible to prospect the existence of radioactive springs by determination of the radon content in groundwaters in the place where no radioactive spring was found as yet. The highest radon content in 53 samples was 741 Mache (2697×10(-10) Curie/l) of the Mr, shigemasa Matsubara's well-water, and this record ecceeds the highest radon content in thermal waters of Misasa known up to the present time. Though the temperature of its well-water was 24.0°C in the afternrnoon of November 25th, 1952, the hot-springs of Yamadaku-kyodoYu, Gunzeshinsenryo, Koyoen, and so on, issue neare by the well. Therefore, the author points out that if a boring is tried in the place where the well is the centre, a most strongly radioactive hot spring in the world may issue. |

| Title Alternative | ON THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE NITRATE CONTENT IN THE MISASA HOT SPRINGS, TOTTORI PREFECTURE |
| FullText URL | 009_032_036.pdf |
| Author | Sugihara, Takeshi| |
| Abstract | The author determined the nitrate content in Misasa Hot-Springs, sampled from August to October, 1952, In all the well-waters, the amounts of nitrate were higher than 1mg/l, and the highest nitrate content was 9.6mg/l in the well-water in front of Mr. Aoki, s house. In the hot-springs, the author found 10 springs containing more than 1 mg/l of nitrate, and the highest nitrate content was 9.0 mg/l in the Hakuro-Yu, but the lotvest content was about 0 mg/l in the Iwasaki Hot-Springs. In Ishiyu and "Yamadaku-KyodoYu" during the stay of irrigation water in rice-fields from the rain season to September, the amounts of flow incrensed, but the content of radon and chloride decreased. On the other hand, in Hisui-no-yu, the chloride content decreased and the radon content increased with the amount of flow. Moreover, the amounts of nitrate were considerably high in the Ishiyu and Yamndaku-KyodoYu Hot Springs, but fairly low in the Hisui-no-Yu. So the author expects that some relation may be found between the variation of the radon content and the amounts of nitrate. The water samples, which nitrate contents were high, showed a tendency to have a high phosfate content generally. |

| Title Alternative | STUDY ON RADON CONTENT OF WATERS AND EARTH TEMPERATURES IN FUKUDOME KITADANI VILLAGE, TOTTORI PREFECTURE, JAPAN |
| FullText URL | 009_028_031.pdf |
| Author | Sugihara, Takeshi| Mifune, Masaaki| |
| Abstract | In Fukudome, Kitadani Village, Tottori Prefecture, the radon content of well waters and waters in rice-field and earth temperatures were determined. The radon content of waters in "A" district was higher than that in its neighbourhood, and earth temperatures of "A'" district were higher than those in its neighbourhood. Furthermore, "A" district coincides nearly with "A'" district. These results seem to be dne to the effects of the spring which issues in A (or N) district and supplies a water of high salinity. |

| Title Alternative | STUDIES ON THE CHLORIDE AND SULFATE CONTENT OF WELL WATERS AND THE AMOUNTS OF CHLORIDE AND SULFATE FIXED TO THE SOIL IN THE MINERAL SPRING DISTRICTS (VI) DISTRICT NEAR THE SPRING IN KITADANI VILLAGE, TOTTORI PREFECTURE, JAPAN |
| FullText URL | 009_024_027.pdf |
| Author | Umemoto, Shunji| |
| Abstract | In Fukudome, Kitadani Village, the chloride, sulfate and phosfate content and water temperatures of well waters and the amounts of chloride and sulhte fixed to the soil were determined with the samples collected from various parts near the spring which contains much inorganic salts. The chloride, sulfate and phosfate content of the well water samples collected from the district which surrounds the spring, were higher than those from its neighhonrhood, but for the water temperatures of the well water samples, no difference was recognized. As the existence of other sources which would supply the chloride, sulthte and phosfate to the well water is not expected, the difference in the chloride, sulfate and phosfate content of well waters between the samples collected from the A district and its neighbourhood, seems to be due to the effects of the spring which contains much inorganic salts or its sources. |

| FullText URL | rbl_003_039_042.pdf |
| Author | Ashizawa, Takashi| |
| Abstract | The anthor found that azocal-A reacts only with calcium, and devised a direct colorimetric, and a direct titration method for calcium determination using azocal-A as an indicator, and obtained a satisfactory result. Accuracy : detectable amount in NaOH……0.28 γ, of Ca ; detectable amount in NH(4)OH……2 γ, of Ca. Sensibility……1 : 125,000 & 1 : 17,500 respectively. Interfering substances : Fe, U, Ni, Co, Hg, Ag, citrate, tartarate, oxalate, large amount of NH(4) salts, Sr, Mg. Not interfering subst. : Ba, F, acetate and silicate. Reagents : Saturated soln. of azocal-A in weak NaOH soln.. Spot test procedure : Place a drop of the acid or neutral test soln. upon white spot plate, add 1 drop of azocal-A soln., and mix them. If a yellow color appears, calcium is present. Colorimetric method: Transfer water sample containg not more than 0.05 mg of calcium, and not more than 5 mg of Fe, Mn, Mg, etc. to a 20 cc colorimetric tube, add 0.5-1 cc of azocal-A soln. and 0.5 cc of 6N-NaOH soln.. Allow it to stand for 10 minutes. Then compare the resulted yellow color with standard Ca soln. prepared similarly and simultaneously. Volumetric method : Amount determinable : 0.1 g of calcium. Transfer 40 cc of sample containg 5-100 mg to a 100 cc Erlenmeyer's flask, add 0.5 cc of 6N-HCl, add azocal-A to the amount of pink color as caused by methyl orange in acid soln.. Make alkaline with 1 cc of 6N-NaOH. Add 10 cc alcohol to every 40 cc of the sample solution. Then its color turns to yellow. Titrate with 0.1 N oxalate soln.. 1.0 cc of 0.1 N oxalate soln. is equivalent to 2.0 mg of Ca. Absorption band of the acid soln. at 4900 A, alkaline soln. at 5000 A, Ca-compound at 4300 A. The azocal-A is o-carboxy-benzol-azo-2-naphtol 3, 6-disulfonic acid prepared from anthranilic acid and R-salt. |

| Title Alternative | Studies of the radio-active springs. XXV The effect of Thoron spring bath on Rotter's reaction |
| FullText URL | rbl_003_018_020.pdf |
| Author | Oshima, Yoshio| |
| Abstract | In the preliminary papers the author reported that the Thoron in thermal water passes throngh the skin and stimulates the subcutaneous connective tissue cells. Sotozono proved that the reduced ascorbic acid content in the blood increases after the Radonspring bath. Before and after thermal bath the author measured the time necessary for the complete decoloration of intradermally injected dichlorphenol-indophenol solution. Compared with the plain water bath at a same temperature, the Thoron spring bath seems to have a tendency to reduce the time necessary for the decoloration. |

| Title Alternative | STUDIES ON THE CHLORIDE AND SULFATE CONTENT OF WELL WATERS AND THE AMOUNTS OF CHLORIDE A;\lD SULFATE FIXED TO THE SOIL IN THE MINERAL SPRING DISTRICTS (VIII) MATSUZAKI, TOGO AND ASOZU HOT SPRINGS, TOTTORI PREFECTURE, JAPAN |
| FullText URL | 012_001_005.pdf |
| Author | Kimura, Kenjiro| Umemoto, Shunji| |
| Abstract | In Matsuzaki, Togo and Asozu Hot Springs which issue around the Pond Togo, the chloride and sulfate content and water temperatures of well waters and the amount of chloride and sufate fixed to the soil were determined with samples collected from various parts of the thermal spring districts and its neighborhood. The chloride and sulfate content and water temperatures of the well water samples collected from the thermal spring districts were higher than those from its neighbourhood, but for the amounts of chloride and sulfate fixed to the soil, no difference was detected. As the existence of other sources which would supply the chloride, sulfate and heat to the water is not expected, the difference in the chloride and sulfate content and water temperatures of well waters, between the samples collected from the thermal spring districts and its neighbourhood, seems to be due to the effects of thermal springs. |

| Title Alternative | TWO CACES OF CHRONIC FOUDOL POISONING |
| FullText URL | 013_044_050.pdf |
| Author | Onda, Sakue| Kishida, Senzo| |
| Abstract | Two cases of chronic Folidol intoxication were described. Both patients complained of oppressive feeling in upper abdomen, breast and head, since exposure to Folidol-spray. Case 1. A farmer aged 21. Two months after Folidol-spraying, investigation revealed a slight fever, a slight hyperchromic anaemia with relative lymphocytosis, achylia gafotrica, a decreased concentration in bile with a few gall-sands and an occasional tenderness on gall-bladder. Bromsulfalein test slightly positive (8%). A hypoglycaemia, hypotension, high sensitivity to pilocarpine, vanished patellar and Achilles tendon reflexes and a positive Sawada test in urine were also observed. None of the treatments given showed a favourable result. Case 2. A farmer, aged 27. Three months after Folidol-spraying, investigation revealed a slight fever, a hypochromic anaemia and a decrease in serum-cholinesterase activity (40%). |

| Title Alternative | COPPER AND ZINC CONTENT OF BLOOD AFTER INTRAVENOUS INJECTION OF DITHIZONE OR OXIN IN RABBIT |
| FullText URL | pitsr_013_042_043.pdf |
| Author | Ashizawa, Takashi| |
| Abstract | Okamoto found that not only alloxan but also dithizone or oxin can produce diabetes in the test animals and proposed a zinc theory of diabetes. As dithizone and oxin react not only with zinc but also with many other metals, such as copper, nickel, cobalt, bismuth, silver etc, the author investigated the copper and zinc content of blood after intravenous administration of dithizone (100 mg per kg of bodyweight) or oxin (50 mg per kg of bodyweight) to rabbit by chromatographic method devised by the author. Both zinc and copper in blood decreased soon after the injection of the above-mentioned reagents and recovered only slowly after 24 - 48 hours. |

| Title Alternative | STUDIES ON SERUM MUCOPROTEIN (2) RELATION BETWEEN SERUM MUCOPROTEIN LEVEL AND DIFFERENTIAL AGGLUTINATION TEST FOR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS. AN EXPERIMENTAL AND CLINICAL STUDY |
| FullText URL | 013_024_030.pdf |
| Author | Ueda, Yoshio| |
| Abstract | (1) Mucoprotein level in serum and agglutination reaction by Rose for rheumatoid arthritis were measured in 40 cases of rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis or liver disease (mostly acute hepatitis). A raised titer of mucoprotein was often observed in cancer, and a marked rise in agglutination titer was often proved in rheumatoid arthritis. But no significant correlation was proved between the serum mucoprotein level and agglutination test in patients. (2) [n animal experiment an inereased agglutination titer was caused by sensitization with egg albumin, Arthus' s phenomenon, anaphylactic, shock, thermal spring bath, X-ray irradiation, blocking of reticuloendothelial system, liver injuries, injection of A. C. T. H., adrenaline, atropin or pilocarpin. A simultaneoas rise in serum mucoprotein level was observed after sensitization, thermal bath, X-ray irradiation, administmtion of chloroform, injection of toxic agents to vegetative nerve system. And a significant positive linear correlation was proved between the serum mucoprotein level and agglutination titer in the animal experiment on the whole. But a dissociation in this relation was observed during anaphylactic shok. Namely serum mucoprotein level tended to fall soon after the reinjection, while the agglutination titer rose higher temporarily and then both showed a tendency to decrease. |

| 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 | STUDIES ON VITRIOL SPRINGS (4) ON THE COPPER, ZINC, NICKEL, AND COBALT CONTENTS OF BLOOD AFTER THE INTERNAL USE OF A VITRIOL WATER |
| FullText URL | 013_015_017.pdf |
| Author | Oshima, Yoshio| Ashizawa, Takashi| |
| Abstract | Sotozono proved that the administration of daily 20cc of Fujino Mineral Water (an acid vitriol water containing copper, zinc, nickel and cobalt) has a remarkably beneficial effect on several kinds of hypochromic anemia. It contains 9.56gms of iron, 0.007gm of zinc, 0.005gm of copper 0.001gm of nickel, and 0.006gm of cobalt in one liter. 20 - 40cc of Fujino water was diluted 5 - 10 fold with plain water and administered to the fasting patients perorally. Blood samples were taken from cubital vein before, 1, 2, 4, 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the intake of the vitriol water. Copper, zinc, nickel and cobalt contents of the blood samples were measured by Ashizawa' s dithizone- chromatographic method. It was shown that copper, nickel, and cobalt contents of blood rose unexpectedly high temporarily, in a manner that did not correspond to their amount in the given mineral water. So that the mobilization of copper, nickel, and cobalt in the body after the intake of the mineral IVrter was susrected. Zinc content of blood showed no constant tendency. |

| Title Alternative | ON THE EXISTENCE OF RADIUM B, RADIUM C AND THORIUM B IN MISASA HOT SPRINGS |
| FullText URL | pitsr_013_005_008.pdf |
| Author | Sato, Mitsuo| |
| Abstract | The author tried to measure RaB, RaC and ThB in the hot spring waters using G-M counter and proved the existence of RaB and ThB in Misasa Hot Springs. To 100 liters of spring water ahout 20 gms of ferric chloride and then sodium hydroxide were added. Precipitate was dissolved in hydrochloric acid and after adding bismuth and lead, the solution was saturated with hydrogen sulfide. The precipitate of sulfides was filtered and ignited to ashes after drying. The β-activity of the ashes was measured by a mica-window type G-M counter with the recording circuits of scale of 16. Natural background was 50±5 connts per minutes. Six spring waters of Misasa, namely "Spring of Branch Laboratory", "Nakayu", "Gunze" "O-T-R", "Jwayu", and "Tsukiminoyu" were investigated. RaB was detected in all samples. ThB was found only in "Gunze" and "O-T-R". ThB content of "Gunze" was estimated, to be roughly 1×10(-12) Curie units per liter. |

| Abstract | Various colormetric methods for determining magnesium in natural waters have been studied, and the methods using 8-oxyquinolin, ammonium molybdate and titan yellow were studied most frequently(1)), following the studies on the interfering ions(2)). Brilliant yellow(3)), l-amino-2-naphthol-6-sulfonic acid(4)) and other new reagents were also used. E. D. T. A. was used, but the determination by using this reagent is not exact. Present reagent already reported by T. Ashizawa(5)), magneson II, is insoluble in water, soluble in alkali and hardly soluble in ethanol. In the existence of magnesium ion, the color of solution varies from pink-violet (in alkali) and orange (in ethanol) to blue-violet. This variation of color was evaluated photometrically by Shimadzu photoelectric spectrophotometer, and moreover the grades of interference by interfering ions were clarified. |

| Title Alternative | MEDICAL STUDIES ON THE RURAL PEOPLE (II) A STUDY ON THE INCIDENCE OF STRUMA IN THE SOUTH-WESTERN RURAL DISTRICTS OF OKAYAMA PREFECTURE, JAPAN |
| FullText URL | pitsr_014_051_056.pdf |
| Author | Morinaga, Hiroshi| |
| Abstract | The author investigated the thyroid glands of 1480 school children (aged from 6 to 14) living in the vicinity of Yakage, the south-western rural district of Okayama Prefecture, and 1516 out-patients of Yakage Hospital, in 1950. The incidence of struma among the school children was 4.6 per cent and among the out-patients 4.7% on an average, and the percentage of struma in the spring (7.8%) was higher than in the summer (2.98%). This result suggests that thyroid glands are in some way susceptible to seasonal influences, and it is therefore necessary to consider the effect of season during investigation. The white blood pictures of seven patients showed no specific findings. |

| Title Alternative | MEDICAL STUDIES ON THE RURAL PEOPLE (I) CLINICAL AND STATISTICAL OBSERVATIONS ON HOOKWORM DISEASE IN RURAL DISTRICTS |
| FullText URL | pitsr_014_045_050.pdf |
| Author | Morinaga, Hiroshi| |
| Abstract | The author studied statistically 160 cases of hookworm infection who had been admitted to Misasa Branch of Okayama University Hospital, Misasa Hot Springs in Tottori prefecture, during 1946~1949 and 162 cases of out-patients with anchylostomiasis in Yakage Hospital, Okayama Prefecture, during 1949～1950. The clinical findings were as follows: (1). Females showed a higher incidence than males and the incidence ratio of infected persons to total out-patients increased with age up to the 50~69 years group. (2). The most patients consulted our hospital for the first time in April～May and in August, and 62 per cent of cases came within 3 months scince they had noticed disorders in some way, but 22% remained at home without medical cure more than a year. (3). Chief subjective complaints were palpitation of heart (35.3%), lassitude of legs (31.2%), pains in the abdomen (22.9%), feeling of dizziness (21.6%) and so on. (4). Laboratory findings: The total number of erythrocytes was between 1.23 and 5.54 millions per cubic millimeter and a moderate anemia almost always developed in the hookworm disease (77.9% of all cases). The number of white cells was normal or slightly increased. Relative or absolute eosinophilia was recognized in 83.5% of all patients. Wassermann's test was positive in 20%, and Takata's reaction positive in 53% of the cases. The acidity of the gastric juice was lower than normal. Hypo- and anacidity were verified in 58%. Both albumen and urobilinogen test in urine were positive in 5.4% of 61 cases. Sugar in none. (5). Treatment: Thymol, tetrachlorethylene and oil of chenopodium were used alternately to remove the worms. The eggs in stool became negative after 3-4 times of the administration of anthelmintics in 76 per cent of 151 cases. As mentioned above, the patients infected with hookworm had various functional disorders of bodies, but they consulted the hospital only when the farmer's busy season began and their trouble became unbearable. And then the recovery of anemia took a month or two. Prof. Kitayama reported that the cold environment under 9°C. in the winter had perished the larva of hookworm in the soil. From these viewpoints, the author proposed that examination and cure of hookworms should be carried out in the winter, the slack season for farming, to prevent the fall of working ability due to anchylostomiasis during the busy farming seasons. |

| Abstract | There are many experimental reports and clinical observations about the internal use of thermal waters on carbohydrate metabolism, and alkaline springs, alkaline common salt springs and sulphur springs are used for the balneological therapy of diabetic patients. The author reported that the internal use of the radon springs of Japan, such as Misasa, Ikeda and Masutomi thermal waters promoted the action of insuline and inhibited the experimental hyperglycemia in rabbits, and he suggested that these radioactive waters also would be able to utilize for the diabetic treatment. On the other hand, trace elements such as Cu, Zn and Mn have protective effects against disturbed carbohydrate metabolism of diabetic body. Some thermal waters contain these trace elements in various degrees, and Oshima & Ashizawa observed that after the drinking of Fujino mineral water the iron, copper, nickel and cobalt content in blood rose temporarily. In this report, the author investigated the influence of the drinking of Asozu (weak common salt spring), Hamamura (sulphated bitter spring), Kaike (calcium chloride containing saline spring) and Fujino (acid alum vitriol spring) Spring waters upon the alimentary hyperglycemia in rabbits. Thirty ml. of 10% glucose solution in thermal water (Fujino Water was diluted twice with plain water) or in plain water per kg. of bodyweight was administered to the rabbit by stomach tube and blood sugar level was determined before, 1/2, 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after the administration. The results were as follows: 1. The drinking of Asozu Spring water inhibited the alimentary hyperglycemia compared with the plain water as a control. 2. Hamamura Spring had a tendency to decrease the blood sugar level. 3. Kaike Spring water had no inhibitory a.ction upon the alimentary hyperglycemia. 4. In spite of the existence of trace elements, Fujino mineral water had no significant effect. The author supposed that this was due to its high acidity. |

| Abstract | From June 1953 to January 1954, the water temperature and amount of flow of a spring called IITanaka-no-Yu", Misasa Hot Springs, Tottori Prefecture, were observed continuously. It issues 10 metres north of the riverside of the River Misasa and a stream runs 3 metres south of it. The water level of the River and the stream were also observed. The water level of the stream have close connection with the water volume of rice-field which surround that spring, because it is a watercourse of irrigation to rice-field. It was found that when the amount of flow increased, the water temperature rose, namely there was a positive correlation between them, and the correlation coefficient was 0.952 (highly significant). The analysis of variance showed that the amount of flow would be affected by the water level of the River but would not be severely affected by that of the stream. The correlation between the amount of flow and the water level of the River was also positive and the correlation coefficient was 0.731 (highly significant). As a result of the analysis of variance, the computation of confidence limit and the analysis of covariance, in summer the averages of the amount of flow and the water temperature would be higher than those in autumn and winter. This difference was seemed to be induced by the water level of the stream. The end of the observation, a dam had been constructed 20 metres down (west) the River and she rised, but the effect of it must be observed after this. |
