    Notes: Blood flow stagnation is said to be an important factor for the incidence of dark eye circles, but there are few reports, which have studied dark eye circles and the relationship to blood flow. We have examined dark eye circles dermatologically using a non-invasive method and made clear the factor related to it. We have also studied the effect of newly developed cosmetics on improvement of dark eye circles. Melanin and haemoglobin content, haemoglobin oxygen saturation and blood flow rate were measured to compare dark eye circles with a normal control. An increased amount of haemoglobin and decreased haemoglobin oxygen saturation were observed at the site of dark eye circles. We also observed that the blood flow rate was slow at dark eye circles in comparison with cheek. From these results, blood flow stagnation seems to be one of the factors that could induce dark eye circles. In addition, the increase of melanin at dark eye circles was also observed in older subjects. It was considered that not only congestion but also an increase of melanin content in the skin could induce dark eye circles. On the basis of these results, we developed anti-dark eye circle cosmetics that can improve blood circulation, reduce melanin content and maintain high moisture retention in the skin. After 3 weeks’ usage of this product, it was confirmed that dark eye circles were improved, judging from the result of non-invasive instrumental measurements.

    Notes: There are two major subpopulations of peripheral helper T lymphocytes: T helper 1 (Th1) and T helper 2 (Th2) cells. Surgical stress increases the number of Th2 cells, and decreases that of Th1 cells, resulting in a decrease in the Th1/Th2 ratio, and, consequently, in suppressed cell-mediated immunity. Since anaesthesia can suppress the stress response to surgery, it may inhibit the decrease in the Th1/Th2 ratio. Using flow cytometry, we studied whether propofol anaesthesia (n = 9) or isoflurane anaesthesia (n = 9) had more effect on the decrease in the Th1/Th2 ratio after surgery in patients undergoing craniotomy. The Th1/Th2 ratio decreased significantly after isoflurane anaesthesia (p = 0.011), while it did not change after propofol anaesthesia. The ratio was significantly lower with isoflurane than propofol (p = 0.009). Propofol anaesthesia attenuated the surgical stress-induced adverse immune response better than isoflurane anaesthesia.

    Notes: Japanese anchovy Engraulis japonicus larvae and early juveniles were assigned to one of three developmental stages based on the degree of guanine deposition. The development in terms of the guanine deposition was a function of body size and age and was more strongly associated with the former. The degree of guanine deposition is found to be valid as a criterion to distinguish Japanese anchovies at the end of the metamorphosing stage.

    Notes: The crack propagation along the bond coat / topcoat interface of a TBC system has been studied in a previous work under a certain mode ratio (K〈sub〉〈/sub〉2/K〈sub〉〈/sub〉1). In order to discuss a parameter thatdescribes the crack propagation, the growth behavior of a crack has to be studied under various K〈sub〉〈/sub〉2/K1 ratios. In this work, BEM was used to determine the modifications that change K〈sub〉〈/sub〉2/K〈sub〉〈/sub〉1 ratios of the specimen employed in the previous study. Six characteristics of the specimen were modified: location of the applied load; height; length, position and direction of the notch, and itsseparation from the bond coat / topcoat interface. Among these modifications, the change of location of load point can effectively change K〈sub〉〈/sub〉2/K〈sub〉〈/sub〉1 ratio to values greater and smaller than those of the previous study.Crack propagation tests with three different positions of load point were performed usingspecimens with topcoat porosity of 5%, 15% and 20%. The results indicated that, independently of K〈sub〉〈/sub〉2/K〈sub〉〈/sub〉1 ratio, the parameter K〈sub〉〈/sub〉i dominated the crack growth behavior for an interface crack undermixed mode
