The relationship between past and present lifestyle and urinary excretion of type I collagen cross-linked N-telopeptides (NTx) was studied in 61 Japanese females aged 34-59, with a view toward using NTx excretion rates as a predictor of future osteoporosis. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine, the speed of sound (SOS) and broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA) of the os calcis, urinary NTx, serum osteocalcin (BGP) and bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) were measured. Stiffness index (stiffness) was calculated from SOS and BUA. The subjects were asked whether they took regular exercise in their childhood and teen years (in elementary, junior-high, senior-high school and college), the past (20-40 years of age) and present adulthood. Regular calcium intake, smoking habits, alcohol and other beverage consumption and milk consumption were also covered in the questionnaire. The mean NTx values of premenopausal and postmenopausal group were 22.2 and 56.0 nM bone collagen equivalents (BCE)/mM urinary creatinine (Cr), respectively. The group which did not exercise regularly between the ages of 20 and 40 had a higher mean NTx value (40.9 nMBCE/mMCr) than the group which did exercise regularly (22.7 nMBCE/mMCr). In multiple regression analyses, age, stiffness and exercise in past adulthood could explain 43.5% of the NTx variance. For prevention of bone metabolic increases around menopause, habitual exercise in early adulthood seems to be effective.

Asthma is also classified by clinical findings and examinations (score diagnosis). Both classification systems show that markedly increased proportion of BAL neutrophils and marked decrease in % V25 value are characteristic of type Ⅱ, bronchiolar obstruction, asthma. However, there are some type Ⅱ asthma patients without BAL neutrophilia. In these patients, age is higher compared to those with BAL enutrophlia. Decrease in FEV1.0% value and decrease in the proportion of BAL lympocytes and serum IgG level, are not so remarkable as decrease in those with BAL neutrophilia. It has been suggested that type Ⅱ asthma with BAL neutrophilia correlates with suppression of humoral and cellular immunity, and same type of astma without BAL neutrophilia is in part caused by aging.

The level of serum cortisol was significantly lower in group A patients, treated with glucocorticoids (prednisolone of 5mg/day or more) for more than 2 years, (2.4±1.2mcg/㎗) than in group B, treated with glucocorticoids (prednisolone of 5mg or less) for less than 2 years, (6.8±3.7mcg/㎗) (p<0.001) and in group C, treated without glucocorticoids, (12.6±3.9mcg/㎗) (p<0.001). The serum cortisol level was also significantly lower in group B than in group C (p<0.001). 2. The level of serum cortisol was significantly lower in patients over the age of 70 compared to that in those aged between 0 and 39 years (p<0.01) and those between 40 and 49 (p<0.05), and those between 50 and 59 (p<0.02). The level was also lower in patients between 60 and 69 compared to that in those between 0 and 39, however, this was not significant. These results demonstrate that the level of serum cortisol decreases by long-term glucocorticoid regimen and with aging. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HosakiYasuhiro en-aut-sei=Hosaki en-aut-mei=Yasuhiro kn-aut-name=保﨑泰弘 kn-aut-sei=保﨑 kn-aut-mei=泰弘 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MifuneTakashi en-aut-sei=Mifune en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name=御舩尚志 kn-aut-sei=御舩 kn-aut-mei=尚志 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MitsunobuFumihiro en-aut-sei=Mitsunobu en-aut-mei=Fumihiro kn-aut-name=光延文裕 kn-aut-sei=光延 kn-aut-mei=文裕 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KajimotoKazuhiro en-aut-sei=Kajimoto en-aut-mei=Kazuhiro kn-aut-name=梶本和宏 kn-aut-sei=梶本 kn-aut-mei=和宏 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=YokotaSatoshi en-aut-sei=Yokota en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name=横田聡 kn-aut-sei=横田 kn-aut-mei=聡 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanizakiYoshiro en-aut-sei=Tanizaki en-aut-mei=Yoshiro kn-aut-name=谷崎勝朗 kn-aut-sei=谷崎 kn-aut-mei=勝朗 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=OchiKoji en-aut-sei=Ochi en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name=越智浩二 kn-aut-sei=越智 kn-aut-mei=浩二 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=HaradaHideo en-aut-sei=Harada en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name=原田英雄 kn-aut-sei=原田 kn-aut-mei=英雄 aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=IkedaSatoru en-aut-sei=Ikeda en-aut-mei=Satoru kn-aut-name=池田敏 kn-aut-sei=池田 kn-aut-mei=敏 aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaketaKazuhisa en-aut-sei=Taketa en-aut-mei=Kazuhisa kn-aut-name=武田和久 kn-aut-sei=武田 kn-aut-mei=和久 aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部臨床検査医学 affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部臨床検査医学 affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部公衆衛生学 affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部公衆衛生学 en-keyword=serum cortisol level (血清コーチゾール) kn-keyword=serum cortisol level (血清コーチゾール) en-keyword=bronchial asthma (気管支喘息) kn-keyword=bronchial asthma (気管支喘息) en-keyword=clinical asthma type (臨床病型) kn-keyword=clinical asthma type (臨床病型) en-keyword=glucocorticoids (副腎皮質ホルモン) kn-keyword=glucocorticoids (副腎皮質ホルモン) en-keyword=aging (加齢) kn-keyword=aging (加齢) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=52 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=149 end-page=154 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1998 dt-pub=199806 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Serum alpha-fetoprotein levels in healthy Japanese adults. en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=With advances in lectin affinity electrophoresis of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), the detection of significant changes in serum AFP at low levels in cirrhotics has become important for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma.

The coefficient of variation in this assay was less than 10% at AFP levels as low as 0.2 ng/ml with a lower detection limit of 0.1 ng/ml. The AFP level of healthy population showed a Gaussian distribution curve after logarithmic transformation with a median and 2.5-97.5 percentile reference range of 2.2 (0.6-5.6) ng/ml. There was no significant difference in the AFP level between males and females. Individuals with abnormal liver function tests alone showed no significant increase in serum AFP unless they were associated with positive hepatitis virus markers.

This was done by studying the presence or absence of antibodies to these viruses, as well as hepatitis B surface antigen, in a population of 1,398 inhabitants with abnormal liver function tests or history of liver disease and/or blood transfusion. This group was drawn from a group of 7,905 examinees screened for liver disease in 26 districts of Okayama prefecture, Japan. The prevalence of antibody-positive cases increased with age for those viruses. Small but significantly increased odds ratios were obtained among anti-HCV antibodies (HCVAb), anti-hepatitis B core antibodies (HBcAb) and anti-hepatitis A antibodies (HAVAb). After adjusting odds ratios by logistic regression analysis, a significant association was present only between HCVAb and HBcAb. The distribution of age-adjusted prevalences (AAP) of HCVAb in 26 districts was significantly wider than those of HBcAb or HAVAb. The district-based AAP of HCVAb, but not of HBcAb and HAVAb, correlated significantly with the district-based prevalence of infectious hepatitis having a tendency of chronicity reported in 1953-1955. Adjusted odds ratios calculated by logistic regression analysis of the virus markers showed that HCVAb was significantly associated with a past history of blood transfusion. Thus, the spread of HCV infection is speculated to have been triggered by blood transfusion, particularly from paid donors initially, followed by transmission by nosocomial or close person-to-person contact.

Prevalences of GBV-C/HGV RNA, anti-E2, HCV-Ab, HBcAb and HIV-Ab were 27.6%, 16.3%, 84.7%, 76.5% and 45.0% in IVDU; 0%, 21.5%, 2.0%, 72.0% and 11.0% in CSW; 6.0%, 13.6%, 0%, 64.0% and 14.0% in MOP. While the prevalence of GBV-C/HGV RNA was higher in IVDU than in CSW and MOP, comparable prevalences of anti-E2 among the three populations were found. Intravenous drug injection showed association with GBV-C/HGV RNA, while history of STD associated with anti-E2. In conclusion, intravenous drug injection and STD were found to be risk factors for the previous exposure to GBV-C/HGV, but STD did not increase the risk of the GBV-C/HGV viraemia.

The activity of gamma-glutamyltransferase decreased in all cases irrespective of the type of liver injuries. The level of HDL-cholesterol also decreased in 11 of 17 cases with alcoholic liver injury. The other alcoholics, in whom HDL-cholesterol level increased or showed no definite change after withdrawal of alcohol, had severe and advanced liver injuries. In non-alcoholic hepatitis, the HDL-cholesterol level increased as normal liver functions were restored except for one case with cholestatic features. It was concluded that alcohol intake can increase HDL-cholesterol level even in the presence of a concomitantly induced hepatic lesion.</p>

The surface temperature of a healthy person's lower limbs, after being cooled in a water bath, increased in parallel with time. Patients with Diabetes Mellitus had different patterns in the rate of increase of the surface temperature. After cold loading, one patient had a 99% recovery ratio of surface temperature, the same level as healthy volunteers (83%, and 88%), as calculated by a picture processing program with the computerized thermotracer. However, the recovery ratio of other patients was poorer, ranging from 56% to under 6% recovery. This measurement of elevation of body temperature is useful for the estimation of peripheral blood flow in patients with lower limbcirculation failure. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HosakiYasuhiro en-aut-sei=Hosaki en-aut-mei=Yasuhiro kn-aut-name=保崎泰弘 kn-aut-sei=保崎 kn-aut-mei=泰弘 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NawaYuichiro en-aut-sei=Nawa en-aut-mei=Yuichiro kn-aut-name=名和由一郎 kn-aut-sei=名和 kn-aut-mei=由一郎 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakeuchiKazuaki en-aut-sei=Takeuchi en-aut-mei=Kazuaki kn-aut-name=竹内一昭 kn-aut-sei=竹内 kn-aut-mei=一昭 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsugenoHirofumi en-aut-sei=Tsugeno en-aut-mei=Hirofumi kn-aut-name=柘野浩史 kn-aut-sei=柘野 kn-aut-mei=浩史 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=AshidaKozo en-aut-sei=Ashida en-aut-mei=Kozo kn-aut-name=芦田耕三 kn-aut-sei=芦田 kn-aut-mei=耕三 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YokotaSatoshi en-aut-sei=Yokota en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name=横田聡 kn-aut-sei=横田 kn-aut-mei=聡 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MitsunobuFumihiro en-aut-sei=Mitsunobu en-aut-mei=Fumihiro kn-aut-name=光延文裕 kn-aut-sei=光延 kn-aut-mei=文裕 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=MifuneTakashi en-aut-sei=Mifune en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name=御舩尚志 kn-aut-sei=御舩 kn-aut-mei=尚志 aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanizakiYoshiro en-aut-sei=Tanizaki en-aut-mei=Yoshiro kn-aut-name=谷崎勝朗 kn-aut-sei=谷崎 kn-aut-mei=勝朗 aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=OchiKoji en-aut-sei=Ochi en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name=越智浩二 kn-aut-sei=越智 kn-aut-mei=浩二 aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=HaradaHideo en-aut-sei=Harada en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name=原田英雄 kn-aut-sei=原田 kn-aut-mei=英雄 aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=IkedaSatoru en-aut-sei=Ikeda en-aut-mei=Satoru kn-aut-name=池田敏 kn-aut-sei=池田 kn-aut-mei=敏 aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaketaKazuhisa en-aut-sei=Taketa en-aut-mei=Kazuhisa kn-aut-name=武田和久 kn-aut-sei=武田 kn-aut-mei=和久 aut-affil-num=13 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部臨床検査医学 affil-num=11 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部臨床検査医学 affil-num=12 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部公衆衛生学 affil-num=13 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部公衆衛生学 en-keyword=Thermography (サーモグラフィー) kn-keyword=Thermography (サーモグラフィー) en-keyword=Diabetes Mellitus (糖尿病) kn-keyword=Diabetes Mellitus (糖尿病) en-keyword=Peripheral Circulation (末梢循環) kn-keyword=Peripheral Circulation (末梢循環) en-keyword=Cold Loading (冷水負荷) kn-keyword=Cold Loading (冷水負荷) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=54 cd-vols= no-issue=6 article-no= start-page=265 end-page=273 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2000 dt-pub=200012 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Epidemiological studies of coincidental outbreaks of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 infection and infectious gastroenteritis in Niimi City. en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=A sharp rise in the number of patients with infectious gastroenteritis was observed in the 25th week of year 1996 in the Takahashi-Ashin district by researchers with the Infectious Disease Surveillance Program for tuberculosis and other infectious diseases in the Okayama Prefecture. This sharp rise occurred coincidentally with an outbreak of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 (EHEC O157) infection in Niimi City of the Takahashi-Ashin district. However, this phenomenon of coincidental outbreaks was not observed during the outbreak of EHEC O157 infection in Oku Cho. By reviewing outpatients' charts in a sentinel hospital in Niimi City for the Infectious Disease Surveillance Program, it was noted that patients with acute gastrointestinal infection visiting the hospital during the increased incidence of infectious gastroenteritis may have been included as misclassified cases of EHEC O157 infection. On the other hand, the exponential probability plotting of symptomatic patients with EHEC O157 infection in Niimi City revealed a breaking point which suggested a dual exposure to contaminated food or an overlap with other acute gastrointestinal infections. The latter possibility was discounted, because stool culture-positive patients with EHEC O157 infection also exhibited a similar breaking point, and furthermore, the coincidental increase in infectious gastroenteritis in the same area was attributable to the EHEC O157 infection. The present study demonstrates the association between the sharp rise in gastroenteritis and the outbreak of EHEC O157 in the Takahashi-Ashin district. A careful analysis of the cases of infectious gastroenteritis by the Infectious Disease Surveillance Program would have predicted the outbreak of EHEC O157.

The HDL was subdivided into HDL2e and HDL3e by Utermann's polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with lauric acid. Ultracentrifugally separated HDL2 and HDL3 roughly corresponded to HDL2e and HDL3e, respectively. Male and female groups had different distributions of HDL2e/HDL3e ratios. Among healthy males, 121 cases had ratios less than 1.0 (mean +/- SD = 0.72 +/- 0.39, n = 150), while among healthy females, the ratios were generally larger than those of males and varied widely from 0.2 to 6.6 (mean +/- SD = 1.77 +/- 1.05, n = 139). Low levels of HDL-cholesterol were found in patients with liver diseases, except those with mild alcoholic liver injury and intrahepatic cholestasis. Apparent decreases in HDL3e, but not in HDL2e, were found in all cases with liver diseases investigated, even in those who did not show decreases in the total HDL level, when male and female patients were analyzed separately. The analysis of HDL subfractions by the present method is simple and useful for the study on altered lipid metabolism in liver diseases.

A positive correlation between daily alcohol consumption and biochemical markers, such as log GGT (r = 0.432), log AST (r = 0.244) or log LAP (r = 0.246), was seen in all drinkers. However, there was a negative correlation, such as log GGT (r = -0.434), log AST (r = -0.424) or log LAP (r = -0.430), in heavy drinkers who consumed more than 70 g ethanol a day. On the other hand, a positive correlation, such as log GGT (r = 0.426), log AST (r = 0.247) or log LAP (r = 0.216) was found in moderate drinkers who consumed less than 70 g ethanol a day. Interestingly, there was a tendency toward negative association between alcohol consumption and the Tokyo University ALDH2 Phenotype Screening Test (TAST) score in the heavy drinkers, and there was a tendency toward positive association between GGT and TAST score in this group. Our results suggest that there are 2 groups of drinkers, those with elevated GGT (good responders) and those with normal GGT (poor responders) despite heavy drinking.

These results suggest that histamine release from BAL cells in patients with HDm allergy decreases with aging. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TanizakiYoshiro en-aut-sei=Tanizaki en-aut-mei=Yoshiro kn-aut-name=谷崎勝朗 kn-aut-sei=谷崎 kn-aut-mei=勝朗 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MifuneTakashi en-aut-sei=Mifune en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name=御舩尚志 kn-aut-sei=御舩 kn-aut-mei=尚志 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MitsunobuFumihiro en-aut-sei=Mitsunobu en-aut-mei=Fumihiro kn-aut-name=光延文裕 kn-aut-sei=光延 kn-aut-mei=文裕 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KajimotoKazuhiro en-aut-sei=Kajimoto en-aut-mei=Kazuhiro kn-aut-name=梶本和宏 kn-aut-sei=梶本 kn-aut-mei=和宏 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=HosakiYasuhiro en-aut-sei=Hosaki en-aut-mei=Yasuhiro kn-aut-name=保﨑泰弘 kn-aut-sei=保﨑 kn-aut-mei=泰弘 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YokotaSatoshi en-aut-sei=Yokota en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name=横田聡 kn-aut-sei=横田 kn-aut-mei=聡 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=OchiKoji en-aut-sei=Ochi en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name=越智浩二 kn-aut-sei=越智 kn-aut-mei=浩二 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=HaradaHideo en-aut-sei=Harada en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name=原田英雄 kn-aut-sei=原田 kn-aut-mei=英雄 aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=IkedaSatoru en-aut-sei=Ikeda en-aut-mei=Satoru kn-aut-name=池田敏 kn-aut-sei=池田 kn-aut-mei=敏 aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaketaKazuhisa en-aut-sei=Taketa en-aut-mei=Kazuhisa kn-aut-name=武田和久 kn-aut-sei=武田 kn-aut-mei=和久 aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部臨床検査医学 affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部臨床検査医学 affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部公衆衛生学 affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部公衆衛生学 en-keyword=Bronchial asthma kn-keyword=Bronchial asthma en-keyword=House dust allergy kn-keyword=House dust allergy en-keyword=Histamine release kn-keyword=Histamine release en-keyword=Bronchoalveolar cells kn-keyword=Bronchoalveolar cells END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=35 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=149 end-page=154 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1981 dt-pub=198104 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Complete in vitro replication of SV40 DNA and chromatin in saponin-treated permeable cells. en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Effect of nicomol on high density lipoprotein (HDL) subfractions, HDL2e and HDL3e, separated by electrophoresis.

Regarding cellular composition of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, number of BAL neutrophils was significantly increased in type II, bronchiolar obstruction type, of older and younger patients compared to that in type la-1 and type la-2 of same patients. In contrast, BAL eosinophilia was observed in type la-2 of both older and younger patients and in type Ib of younger patients. 2. The values of % FVC, FEV(1.0%) and % PEFR were not significantly different among four clinical types of asthma and between older and younger patients, although the values of these ventilatory parameters in type II asthma showed a tendency to be lower compared to other clinical types. 3. The values of % MMF, % V(50), and % V(25), showing ventilatory dysfunction of small airways, were lowest in type II asthma of both older and younger patients among four clinical types. A significant difference in these ventilatory parameters of type II asthma compared to type la-1 asthma was observed in younger patients, but not in older patients. These results show that ventilatory dysfunction of small airways is related to clinical asthma types in younger patients, and to aging rather than asthma types in older patients. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HosakiYasuhiro en-aut-sei=Hosaki en-aut-mei=Yasuhiro kn-aut-name=保﨑泰弘 kn-aut-sei=保﨑 kn-aut-mei=泰弘 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MifuneTakashi en-aut-sei=Mifune en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name=御舩尚志 kn-aut-sei=御舩 kn-aut-mei=尚志 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MitsunobuFumihiro en-aut-sei=Mitsunobu en-aut-mei=Fumihiro kn-aut-name=光延文裕 kn-aut-sei=光延 kn-aut-mei=文裕 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KajimotoKazuhiro en-aut-sei=Kajimoto en-aut-mei=Kazuhiro kn-aut-name=梶本和宏 kn-aut-sei=梶本 kn-aut-mei=和宏 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=YokotaSatoshi en-aut-sei=Yokota en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name=横田聡 kn-aut-sei=横田 kn-aut-mei=聡 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanizakiYoshiro en-aut-sei=Tanizaki en-aut-mei=Yoshiro kn-aut-name=谷崎勝朗 kn-aut-sei=谷崎 kn-aut-mei=勝朗 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=OchiKoji en-aut-sei=Ochi en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name=越智浩二 kn-aut-sei=越智 kn-aut-mei=浩二 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=HaradaHideo en-aut-sei=Harada en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name=原田英雄 kn-aut-sei=原田 kn-aut-mei=英雄 aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=IkedaSatoru en-aut-sei=Ikeda en-aut-mei=Satoru kn-aut-name=池田敏 kn-aut-sei=池田 kn-aut-mei=敏 aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaketaKazuhisa en-aut-sei=Taketa en-aut-mei=Kazuhisa kn-aut-name=武田和久 kn-aut-sei=武田 kn-aut-mei=和久 aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属病院三朝分院内科 affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部臨床検査医学 affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部臨床検査医学 affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部公衆衛生学 affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部公衆衛生学 en-keyword=Ventilatory function (換気機能) kn-keyword=Ventilatory function (換気機能) en-keyword=Clinical asthma type (臨床病型) kn-keyword=Clinical asthma type (臨床病型) en-keyword=BAL cells (BAL細胞) kn-keyword=BAL cells (BAL細胞) en-keyword=aging (加齢) kn-keyword=aging (加齢) END
