    Notes: Visible light emission has been obtained at room temperature by photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL) from Tb-doped B2N2CO thin films prepared by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The films were deposited by sputtering TbBn (n=4, 6, 12, 25, and 50) targets in an atmosphere of Ar and N2 gas mixture. The films are uniformly composed of very small particles with particle size of about 20–40 nm, which consist of turbostratic BN phase and amorphous phase. The characteristic PL peaks are observed in the spectral range from 300 to 800 nm, and correspond to the two groups of transitions of Tb3+ ions: 5D3→7FJ (J=6, 5, 3) and 5D4→7FJ (J=6, 5, 4, 3). The strongest PL peak at ∼547.2 nm is about four times greater than the other signals in the investigated range, indicating that the films have strong green light emission. CL intensity is very weakly dependent on the temperature. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A magnetic structure composed of electromagnets and permanent magnets is proposed as an undulator to control the polarization state of synchrotron radiation. The horizontal field is produced by the permanent magnets and tuned by moving them along the undulator axis, while the vertical field is produced by the electromagnets and tuned by changing the coil current. The proposed device has two important degrees of freedom. One is that of the periodic length of the electromagnets and the other is that of the relative phase between the vertical and horizontal fields. Thanks to them, the proposed device works as various types of undulator to realize polarization control. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Background Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollen is a major cause of seasonal pollinosis, and more than 10% of Japanese people suffer from this allergic disorder. However, only two major pollen allergens, Cry j 1 and Cry j 2, have been identified and exclusively characterized.Objective The aim of this study was to explore and identify important Japanese cedar pollen allergens other than Cry j 1 or Cry j 2.Methods C. japonica cDNA library was immunoscreened by rabbit antiserum raised against a partially purified cedar pollen allergen fraction. An isolated cDNA clone was inserted into a glutathione S-transferase (GST)-tagged Escherichia coli expression vector to obtain recombinant GST fusion protein. Non-fusion recombinant protein was purified by glutathione Sepharose affinity chromatography in conjunction with factor Xa cleavage of the GST moiety. IgE-binding ability of the recombinant protein was then evaluated by western blot analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The cDNA encodes 306 amino acids with significant sequence similarity to those of plant isoflavone reductase-like proteins, which include a recently identified birch pollen allergen Bet v 5. Western blot analysis demonstrated that recombinant protein was recognized by cedar pollinosis patient IgE. In contrast to Bet v 5 being reported as a minor allergen, the recombinant protein exhibited 76% IgE binding frequency (19/25) against pollinosis patients.Conclusion Here we identified the third member of Japanese cedar pollen allergen homologous to isoflavone reductase. Its high IgE-binding frequency implicates that the isoflavone reductase homologue might be an additional major pollen allergen in C. japonica.

    Notes: Summary Background  We have previously shown that persimmon leaf extract and its major flavonoid constituent, astragalin, inhibited histamine release by basophils and that oral administration of these substances prior to the onset into an atopic dermatitis (AD) model mouse, NC/Nga, prevented development of dermatitis.Objectives  This study was designed to assess the clinical therapeutic effect of persimmon leaf extract and astragalin in NC/Nga mice suffering from dermatitis and the dose–response preventive effects of persimmon leaf extract on dermatitis and transepidermal water loss (TEWL).Methods  The efficacy of persimmon leaf extract or astragalin in NC/Nga mice was judged by measurement of skin severity, scratching behaviour, serum IgE levels or TEWL.Results  Oral administration of persimmon leaf extract (250 mg kg−1) or astragalin (1·5 mg kg−1) for 4 weeks into NC/Nga mice with overt dermatitis resulted in a decrease in the severity of the condition. The preventive effect of persimmon leaf extract on the dermatitis was dose-dependent and continuous intake of persimmon leaf extract significantly decreased its onset and development. In addition, TEWL was also suppressed at a persimmon leaf extract dose of 250 mg kg−1. No significant adverse reaction by these substances could be observed.Conclusions  These observations suggest that persimmon leaf extract or the flavonoid astragalin may be alternative substances for the management of AD.
