The old Japanese army developed several chemical warfare agents on Ohkuno Island in Seto inland sea, Hiroshima Japan, during the period between 1919 and 1944. These chemical agents including yperite (mustard; irritating agent), lewisite (irritating agent), diphenylchloroarsine (DA; vomiting agent), diphenylcyanoarsine (DC; vomiting agent) and other poisonous gases were manufactured to be used in China. After World War II, the old Japanese army abandoned or dumped these agents into seas inside or outside of Japan and interior of China. Rather than being used for terrorism, these chemical warfare agents containing arsenicals may cause injury to some workers at the digging site of abandoned chemical weapons. Moreover, the leakage of chemical agents or an explosion of the bomb may result in environmental pollution, as a result, it is highly possible to cause serious health damage to the residents. There are still many abandoned or dumped warfare agents in Japan and China, therefore chemical agents containing arsenic are needed to be treated with alkaline for decomposition or to decompose with oxidizing agent. Presently, a large quantity of chemical agents and the contaminated soil are processed by combustion, and industrial waste is treated with sulfur compounds as the insoluble sulfur arsenic complex. This report describes the methods for the disposal of these organic arsenic agents that have been implemented until present and examines the future prospects.

武庫川女子大学バイオサイエンス研究所では,2010年より久里浜医療センター監修のもとアルコール体質遺伝子検査および飲酒習慣に関するスクリーニングテストを実施している。それによって,未成年者に対しては飲酒防止のための健康教育,成人に対しては適切な飲酒習慣の指導を行っている。また,この活動には,我々にとって身近なアルコール体質検査を通じ,遺伝子診断によるオーダーメイド医療の普及・理解に向けた啓蒙を行うといった目的も含まれている。アルコール体質を5タイプに分類し,それぞれ留意すべきポイントがまとめられているので,読者の日々の健康管理に役立てられたい。

Though drugstore pharmacists can also be known as primary health care pharmacists, it cannot yet be said that they completely fill this role. We believe that it is crucial for pharmacists to consult reliably with patients. To develop this ability, it is necessary to select a familiar and relevant theme by considering various factors that are worth discussing in their own right through conducting simple verification experiments. Caffeine is found in many foods and drinks, as well as in over the counter cold remedies and analgesics. Moreover, it has been widely used around the world to probe the effectiveness of drug-metabolizing enzyme activity of medications for liver disease. We have built a simple and easy experiment system to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of caffeine in saliva, and we examined the relationship between the drug-metabolizing enzyme CYP1A2 genetic polymorphism and various related constitutional hereditary factors.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify associations between ALDH2 and ADH1B genotypes and ethanol-induced cutaneous erythema and assess the accuracy of an ethanol patch test in young Japanese women. Methods: The subjects were 942 female Japanese university students. They were given an ethanol patch test and examined for ethanol-induced cutaneous erythema both immediately after removing the patch and 10 minutes after removing the patch. A saliva sample was used to determine the ALDH2 and ADH1B genotype of each subject by realtime PCR. Results: The sensitivity and specificity of erythema immediately after removing the patch as the marker for the presence of inactive ALDH2 were 69.6% and 87.7%, respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity of erythema 10 minutes after removing the patch were 85.2% and 85.1%, respectively. The sensitivity of erythema after 10 minutes was markedly lower in the ADH1B*1/*1 carriers than in the ADH1B*2 carriers (8.3% vs. 89.7%, p<0.0001), and the specificity was significantly higher in the ADH1B*1/*1 carriers than in the ADH1B*2 carriers (96.9% vs. 84.3%, p<0.05). Conclusions: Overall, both sensitivity and specificity were satisfactorily high, but having the ADH1B*1/*1 genotype prevented a positive reaction for inactive ALDH2 and caused false-negative results. The data also suggested that having the ADH1B*2/*2 genotype caused a positive reaction in subjects with the ALDH2*1/*1 genotype. Despite these exceptions, the ethanol patch test has enough accuracy and can be used easily to subjects who don’t drink alcohol. This is a valuable tool for improving the health literacy of younger generation subjects.

本研究における教育活動として、当初の高等学校での出前講義・実験および大学での初年次教育に加え、小学生とその保護者、飲料関連企業、薬局などで、遺伝子検査を含むゲノム科学リテラシーセミナーを実施し、遺伝子に関する教育方法および解析技術を改良した。アルコール遺伝子検査を行った大学では3年次以降での追跡調査も開始した。教育方法の改善に加えて、高校での遺伝子実験法の改良により、生徒自身が実験を主導できる実験系プロトコールを開発し、個人情報取り扱いを含めた高校生主体プロジェクトの開始に向けた検討を行った。また大学でのアドバンス科目用として遺伝子情報取り扱いのための基礎技術も開発した。
