    Notes: The aim of this study was to develop rapid and accurate procedures to identify microorganisms contaminating cosmetic products, based on the identity of the nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the ribosomal RNA coding DNA (rDNA). Five types of microorganisms were isolated from the inner portion of lotion bottle caps, skin care lotions, and cleansing gels. The rDNA ITS region of microorganisms was amplified through the use of colony-direct PCR or ordinal PCR using DNA extracts as templates. The nucleotide sequences of the amplified DNA were determined and subjected to homology search of a publicly available DNA database. Thereby, we obtained DNA sequences possessing high similarity with the query sequences from the databases of all the five organisms analyzed. The traditional identification procedure requires expert skills, and a time period of approximately 1 month to identify the microorganisms. On the contrary, 3–7 days were sufficient to complete all the procedures employed in the current method, including isolation and cultivation of organisms, DNA sequencing, and the database homology search. Moreover, it was possible to develop the skills necessary to perform the molecular techniques required for the identification procedures within 1 week. Consequently, the current method is useful for rapid and accurate identification of microorganisms, contaminating cosmetics.

    Notes: Background:  Goblet cell metaplasia is a pathologic characteristic of asthma, associated with excess mucus secretion. Interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 plays an important role in mucus hypersecretion. Suplatast tosilate (suplatast), an antiallergic agent, is a Th2 cytokine inhibitor that suppresses the synthesis of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and eosinophilic airway inflammation.Objective:  We examined the effects of suplatast on mucus production in bronchial biopsy specimens taken from asthmatic subjects.Methods:  Oral suplatast 300 mg daily, or placebo was administered for 3 months in a double-blind, parallel-group study in 25 patients with asthma. Biopsy specimens were evaluated at before and after treatment for alcian blue/period acid-Schiff (AB/PAS), MUC5AC staining in bronchial epithelium and IL-4+, IL-13+ cells as well as inflammatory cells in lamina propria.Results:  There were significant decreases in the percentage of AB/PAS (P 〈 0.01) and MUC5AC (P 〈 0.01) stained area in the suplatast group. These changes were accompanied by significant decreases in IL-4+ and IL-13+ cells in suplatast-treated subjects. Additionally, we have observed that the number of infiltrating eosinophils and CD4+ T cells significantly decreased.Conclusions:  These findings suggest that suplatast prevents goblet cell metaplasia through modulation of Th2 cytokine production and the recruitment of eosinophils and CD4+ T cells in the asthmatic airways.

    Two cases of atypical membranous aplasia cutis with hair collar sign: one with dermal melanocytosis, and the other with naevus flammeus (2005)

    Notes: We report two atypical cases of membranous aplasia cutis surrounded by a rim of hairs, one case associated with dense dermal melanocytosis and the other with naevus flammeus, with characteristic clinical features. A rim of hypertrichosis, ‘hair collar’ sign, is proposed to have a close association with neuroectodermal defects. A failure of the normal closure of the cranial neural tube might have affected foetal skin development, including melanoblast migration and capillary network formation. The changes in the present cases, as well as the hair collar sign may suggest a complex hamartomatous nature of membranous aplasia cutis.

    Phycoerythrin and photosynthesis of the pelagic blue-green alga Trichodesmium thiebautii in the waters of Kuroshio, Japan (1975)

    Notes: Abstract The photosynthetic function of phycoerythrin was investigated in the alga Trichodesmium thiebautii from the waters of Kuroshio, Japan. The spectroscopic characteristics of the in vivo and isolated T. thiebautii phycoerythrin pigments are identical, and have 3 absorption bands at 495, 547 and 562 nm. Light at the wavelengths corresponding to each absorption band of phycoerythrin is equally efficient in T. thiebautii photosynthesis, indicating that phycoerythrin is active in trapping light energy for photosynthesis. In the natural habitat, phycoerythrin is considered to be the main photosynthetic pigment in T. thiebautii photosynthesis.

    Changes in the acitivy of fucoxanthin-excited photosynthesis in the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum grown under different culture conditions (1975)

    Notes: Abstract Variations in the photosynthetic activity under monochromatic light was studied in Phaeodactulum tricornutum grown under various culture conditions, with special reference to the composition of photosynthetic pigments. Photosynthetic activity, under light-limiting conditions, was reduced when the cells were grown under strong light. The reduction was more extensive in activity resulting from fucoxanthin-excitation than in that from chlorophyll a-excitation. The diminution in activity for fucoxanthin-excited photosynthesis did not correlate with variations in the pigment content. A similar diminution was observed with chlorophyll a fluorescence upon excitation of fucoxanthin. The change was accelerated by lowering the culture temperature, or limiting the supply of nitrogen source. The results were interpreted in terms of a nitrogen-deficient state for algal cells induced by strong light, low temperature or a limited supply of nitrogen. This leads to a modification of the physicochemical state of in vivo fucoxanthin, so that the excitation energy of fucoxanthin is less efficiently transferred to chlorophyll a. The significance of the phenomenon in the oceanic primary production is discussed.

    Pigments of meso- and bathypelagic chaetognaths (1977)

    Notes: Abstract Pigments of the meso- and bathypelagic chaetognaths Sagitta macrocephala and Eukrohnia fowleri were studied by chromatographic analysis. Supplementary histological studies were also performed. Fat-soluble properties and absorption spectra of the chaetognath pigments indicated that all pigments were carotenoid, independent of chaetognath species or habitat. The major carotenoid in chaetognaths was very soluble in nonpolar solvents such as carotenes, although its absorption spectrum formed a single broad peak at around 460 nm. The characteristics of the carotenoids in the chaetognaths were different from those of the pigments in the plankton which formed their diet. It is therefore inferred that carotenoids in chaetognaths are not formed by the deposition of food pigments in the intestinal tissue, but are synthesized by the chaetognaths themselves.

    Notes: The grinding performance of wheel remarkably decreases by the loading of wheel surfacein dry grinding of hard carbon parts. In this report, we propose the removal method of loaded carbonchips in which an adhesive tape is removed with carbon chips after putting on a loaded wheel surfaceby an elastic roller with the setting load . The removal characteristics are experimentally investigatedby analyzing the projecting height of abrasive grains, removal force of adhesive tape and so on. Theremoval method results in the enough projecting height of abrasive grain

    Notes: By the usage of the hydrolysis of Ti alkoxide, various types of TiO2 were obtained throughthe addition of catalyst (HCl, NH4OH, and CH3COONH4) and some additives into Ti alkoxidesolution at room temperature. In special, the effect of two additives, diethylene glycol (DEG) andhexamethylphospheric triamide (HMPA), on hydrolysis behaviors and microstructure with variouscatalyst for hydrolysis of Ti-tetraisopropoxide was in detail investigated. In case of TiO2 powder withHMPA as an additive, the crystallinity of TiO2 except with NH4OH as a catalyst decreased in XRDpatterns, compared to those of products with no additive and with DEG as an additive. The additionof HMPA prohibited the growth of TiO2 and led to fine TiO2 with the average particle size ofapproximately 10nm
