We tried to remove contamination of radioisotope (RI) for an X-ray detector (photostimulable phosphor plate; IP) and verified that our procedure suggested by Nishihara et al. was effective for decontamination. The procedure was as follows. First, the IP was kept for approximately twelve hours, and then it was processed [image (A)] as well as a clinical processing mode. Second, using a wet-type chemical wiper, we scavenged the IP to remove the adhered RI on its surface. Then, once again, the IP was kept for approximately fifteen hours and processed [image (B)] in order to check an effect of decontamination. Finally, the two images of (A) and (B) were analyzed using ImageJ, which can be downloaded as a free software, and a percentage of removal was calculated. The procedure was applied to two IPs using the FCR 5501 plus. In the present case, the percentage of removal was approximately 96%. The removed radioisotopes in the chemical wipers were analyzed by Ge detector. Then, 134Cs and 137Cs were found with activities of 2.9 4.3 Bq and 3.5 5.2 Bq, respectively. For three months after that, we cannot see black spots on the IPs owing to the contamination of the RI and there are no defects caused by decontamination using a wet-type chemical wiper.

Pineapple, one of the most popular tropical fruits consumed throughout the world, is rich in dietary fiber, which is generally known to improve constipation. In Japan, one out of three elementary school children are reported to suffer from constipation, sometimes resulting in school refusal. To elucidate the health benefits of pineapple intake for Japanese children, a randomized, untreated-controlled, parallel-group clinical trial was conducted. Elementary school children tending to have constipation were given 100 g of pineapples per day for 4 weeks. The questionnaire for physical condition and defecation status, measurement of indoxyl sulfate in urine and analysis of intestinal microbiota were performed before and after the pineapple intake. As a result, defecation status was significantly improved and the proportion of beneficial gut bacteria was significantly increased in the pineapple intake group, indicating that pineapple intake could be helpful in improvement of defecation status and intestinal environment for elementary school children.
