    Notes: Anisotropic Nd–Fe–B magnet powders can be produced by the hydrogenationdecomposition-desorption-recombination (HDDR) process from Nd–Fe–B–Co–M (M=Ga, Zr, Nb, Hf, and Ta) alloys. The present status of those HDDR powders and the bonded magnets made from them are reviewed with regards to the powder particle size dependence of their magnetic properties, their magnetic thermal stability, and their magnetization behavior. The results of a mechanistic study on the recombination step are also presented. The magnetic properties of the anisotropic HDDR powder depend relatively little on the powder particle size. Bonded magnets with a density of ∼6.20 g/cm3 and a BHmax of 18.5–20.5 MGOe can be produced from anisotropic HDDR powders with particle sizes of below 300 μm diam. The temperature coefficient of the intrinsic coercive force iHc, of the bonded magnet is −0.55%/°C in the temperature range from 25 to 100 °C. The magnetization force needed for full magnetization of the bonded magnet is about twice the coercive force of the magnet, indicating that the magnetization mechanism is different from that of the rapidly solidified isotropic Nd–Fe–B magnet. In the early stage of the recombination step of the HDDR process (1 min desorption), three phases are produced, i.e., α-(Fe,Co), spherical NdH2 and rimlike Nd2(Fe,Co)14B surrounding the NdH2 particle. Further desorption makes the Nd2(Fe,Co)14B phase grow. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Recent studies have demonstrated an increasing number of cases of allergy in economically developed societies. Many of these allergic reactions are mediated by IgE antibodies whose levels are under genetic control. However, this large increase of allergy prevalence cannot be explained by genetic mutations; comprehensive lifestyles may also play roles in determining total IgE levels. Total IgE levels were determined from scrum samples taken from 706 hard metal workers who responded lo a questionnaire including 17 items related to physical and mental health practices. Five actors tending to normalize IgE upward and three tending to normalize IgE downward when we keep good lifestyles were extracted using MANOVA analysis. We therefore constructed a Health Practice Index in Allergic reactions (HPIA); eight physical and mental health practices were significantly (P 〈 0.05) associated with cumulative elevations or suppressions of total IgE levels when sex, age and environmental factors were controlled for. Multivariate analyses demonstrated a dramatic synergism (Relative Risk 〉 2.0, P 〈 0.05) of unhealthy lifestyles determining a bipolar high risk for elevated or suppressed IgE levels which in turn may result in allergic diseases or immuno-suppression. Maintenance of healthy lifestyles may prove beneficial for reducing the prevalence of allergic disorders.

    Notes: Twenty-one workers with hard metal asthma, including eight atopics, diagnosed on the basis of peak flow diaries and positive reaction to cobalt chloride (CoCl2) and/or nickel sulphate (NiSO4) in skin and provocation tests were studied for sensitization by detection of specific antibodies to nickel-conjugated human serum albumin (Ni-HSA), and nickel-conjugated exchange resin (Ni-resin). Their results were compared with those of sera obtained from control sera from 60 asthmatic patients and pair-matched asymptomatic control workers in the hard metal plant. In the RASTs (radioallergosorbent tests), sera from the same six subjects developed positive reactions both to Ni-HSA (RAST index 〉 2.0, P 〈 0.01) and Ni-resin (RAST index 〉 2.0, P 〈 0.01), while the counts measured for the others of the 15 subjects (RAST index 〈 1.52) were about the same as those for control groups (RAST index 〈 1.58). Subject HSA RAST and resin RAST results (378.52 c.p.m. in HSA RAST and 324.56 in the resin RAST) were about the same as those of the control sera (388.65 c.p.m. and 398.59 c.p.m., respectively). There was no difference in the prevalence of smoking habit and high IgE between Ni-RAST positive and negative subjects. However, subjects with simultaneous sensitivity to nickel and/or cobalt still developed asthmatic attacks following medications, while those without sensitivity to these metals were almost symptom free. The positive sera had simultaneous sensitivity to both cobalt and nickel, suggesting the presence in them of specific IgE antibodies to nickel playing some role in the aetiology of hard metal asthma.

    Notes: Twelve workers with hard metal asthma diagnosed on the basis of peak flow diaries and positive bronchial reactions to cobalt chloride (CoCl2) were studied for sensitization by detection of specific antibodies to radioactive cobalt (57Co), cobalt-conjugated human serum albumin (Co-HSA) and cobalt-conjugated exchange resin (Co-resin). Their IgE titres ranged from 73 to 1500 IU/ml and eight were atopic individuals. Sixty serum samples from asthmatic patients with IgE titres of 14–4300 IU/ml were studied as controls in all tests. Eleven of twelve subject sera that selectively bound to 57Co after incubation with saturated ammonium sulphate (〉232 c.p.m., P〈0.01) were divided into three groups: (1) six sera showing evidence of specific IgE antibodies to Co-HSA (〉673 c.p.m., P〈0.01) without those to Co-resin; (2) one serum giving a positive radio-allergosorbent test (RAST) only to Co-resin (〉417 c.p.m., P〈0.01), and (3) four sera that were negative for two antigenic agents (Co-HSA, Co-resin). These results suggest that the subjects had occupational asthma due to hard metal exposure from cobalt sensitivity. An immuno-allergic mechanism mediated by specific IgE antibodies to cobalt was confirmed to be responsible for the development of hard metal asthma, with the possibility of some role of the reaction without reagins.

    Notes: Background Food-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) is an allergic reaction characteristically induced by intense exercise combined with the ingestion of causative food. Recent reports have shown that aspirin intake is a contributing factor in some patients with FDEIA. Wheat is known to be the most frequent causative food, and the IgE-binding epitopes of a major wheat allergen (ω-5 gliadin) in wheat-dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) have already been clarified. However, the mechanism of eliciting the symptom in WDEIA remains not fully understood.Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of serum gliadin levels and allergic symptoms induced by exercise or aspirin in patients with WDEIA.Methods Six patients with a history of recurrent anaphylaxis associated with wheat ingestion were diagnosed as having WDEIA by the provocation test, which included wheat ingestion, exercise, aspirin intake and a combination of these challenges. During the tests, serum levels of gliadins were monitored by gliadin-specific sandwich ELISA. The effects of exercise and aspirin on serum gliadin levels were also investigated in four healthy subjects.Results Immunoreactive gliadins appeared in the sera of patients during the provocation test with both wheat-exercise and wheat-aspirin challenges in parallel with allergic symptoms. Serum gliadin levels also increased under the two same challenge conditions in the healthy subjects, although they exhibited no allergic symptoms. However, low levels of gliadin were detected in the sera of both patients and healthy subjects when challenged with wheat alone.Conclusion We demonstrated for the first time that blood gliadin levels correlate with clinical symptoms induced by exercise and aspirin in patients with WDEIA. These findings suggest that exercise and aspirin facilitate allergen absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.

    Notes: Specific IgE antibodies against cobalt-conjugated human serum albumin (Co-HSA) were determined in serum samples from 706 hard metal workers who responded to a questionnaire on 17 physical and mental health practices. Hard metal (an alloy of cobalt) exposure resulted in significant (P〈0.05) increases in Co-HSA RAST indices in male subjects. In contrast, no factor concerning health practices made an independent contribution to elevation or suppression of specific IgE levels against cobalt. Although total IgE level was found to be significantly (P〈0.01) modulated by the cumulative health practice index (HPIA: Health Practice Index in Allergic reaction), which was extracted by MANOVA analysis while controlling for sex, age, and environmental factors, no significant association was found between HPIA and specific IgE level against cobalt. Multiple logistic analysis also revealed that health practices and hard metal exposure had a significant relative risk (〉2.3; P〈0.05) of elevating Co-HSA RAST index when the total IgE level was more than 400 IU/ml. Thus, a healthy lifestyle as well as discouragement of occupational exposure may be of benefit in reducing allergic disorders for persons with high IgE levels.

    Notes: Background There are few epidemiologic studies on the association between serum levels of T helper (Th) cytokines and allergic symptoms caused by sensitizing agents. Methods A population of 147 workers from two condenser plants using epoxy resin with methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MTHPA) underwent a questionnaire survey and serologic investigations. Total and MTHPA-specific IgE levels were measured by the Pharmacia CAP System, and serum levels of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) by enzyme immunoassay. Results A significant association was found between work-related eye and nasal symptoms and a range of atopic characteristics, including the frequency of positive specific IgE, specific and total IgE levels, and IL-4 levels. A positive correlation was observed between levels of IL-4 and IL-13 (r=0.42). Furthermore, multiple logistic analysis revealed significant contributions of specific IgE and I H3 to the work-related symptoms. A similar but nonsignificant association was also found for IL-4 (P=0.07). On the other hand, a multiple regression model with specific IgE levels as a dependent variable showed a significant association with total IgE, but not with IL-4, IL-13, and IFN-γ. Conclusions These results suggest that work-related eye and nasal symptoms are closely related to specific IgE antibodies, and that allergic responses, mediated by IgE, to MTHPA may lead to a shift in the balance between Thl and Th2 cells.

    Notes: The clinical and pathological study was performed in order to determine the histo-pathological and cytoimmunological characteristics of denture stomatitis. All specimens were biopsy materials from seventeen patients with denture stomatitis. Normal palatal mucosae from ten patients served as the control. In addition to the usual staining methods, naphtol AS-D chloroacetate esterase stain and peroxidase-antiperoxidase method were used to detect mast cells and plasma cells.Denture stomatitis could be divided into atrophic and hyperplastic types. The former showed a smooth and atrophic mucosa. The latter showed a large number of exophytic projections which were composed of marked acanthosis and submucosal fibrosis, and was further subdivided into granular and papillary subtype according to the size of projections. In the present study, there were six cases of the atrophic type, and eleven cases of the hyperplastic type (consisting of seven granular and four papillary subtypes).The hyperplastic type was more frequently observed in patients with partial dentures compared with complete dentures and was associated frequently with ill fitting of the denture base as well as agglutination of denture plaque.Cytoimmunological study revealed that there was a pronounced increase of plasma cells, especially IgG- and IgA-producing cells, and a moderate increase of lymphocytes as well as mast cells in both types of denture stomatitis. Mast cells were always noted in the area with marked plasma cell infiltration, suggesting an intimate relation between both cells. These findings suggest that the immunological reactions play some role in the pathogenesis of denture stomatitis.
