乳成分の定量法および添加量の実情を調査するためマーガリン76種, 天然バター4種を入手し, 乳固形分, 糖, タンパク, リン, カルシウムの定量を行なったところ, およそつぎの結果を得た.1) 糖はベルトラン法, タンパクはミクロケルダール法, リンはリンバナドモリブデン酸法およびカルシウムはEDTAによるキレート滴定法より定量を行なった.2) ほとんどの家庭用マーガリンにはかなりの乳成分が添加してあり最高は乳固形分2.75%であった. 平均値でみると家庭用 (カートン) 1.036%, ついで学校給食用, 付マーガリンの順で簡易包装, 業務用は0.325%および0.371%であった.3) 糖とタンパクの比率は乳成分の少ないほどレシチンによる影響があり, 付マーガリンにいたっては平均値で糖0.178%に対してタンパク0.272%とむしろ多い.4) リンおよびカルシウムは乳固形分の量に応じて検出され, 最高はそれぞれ294.6, 360.4ppmであった. しかしリンはレシチン等からも検出されるのでタンパク同様かなりバランスのくずれたものも見うけられる. その点カルシウムはほとんど乳成分のみに由来するとみられ, それを正確に測定することによって正当な乳成分の添加の場合においては乳成分の添加量を知ることができる.5) 試料中とくに大豆粉乳または乳糖を加えたもの, レシチンを比較的多く使用されたものがあり, 糖タンパク, リン, カルシウムの量に著しくバランスのくずれたものがあった.

Limited information is currently available on the contribution of eukaryotes to the reactor performance of membrane bioreactors (MBRs). Using high-throughput Illumina sequencing of 18S rRNA genes and microscopic observations, we investigated eukaryotic microbiomes in membrane-attached biofilms in MBRs treating piggery wastewater. Protozoa preying on bacteria were frequently detected under stable conditions when membrane clogging was suppressed. However, the eukaryotes preying upon protozoa became predominant in biofilms when membrane fouling rapidly progressed. We herein demonstrated that a comprehensive investigation of eukaryotic microbiomes using high-throughput sequencing contributes to a better understanding of the microbial ecology involved in wastewater treatment.

Humans cannot synthesize fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin E and vitamin K. For this reason, they must be obtained from the diet via intestinal absorption. As the deficiency or excess of these vitamins has been reported to cause several types of diseases and disorders in humans, the intestinal absorption of these nutrients must be properly regulated to ensure good health. However, the mechanism of their intestinal absorption remains poorly understood. Recent studies on cholesterol using genome-edited mice, genome-wide association approaches, gene mutation analyses, and the development of cholesterol absorption inhibitors have revealed that several membrane proteins play crucial roles in the intestinal absorption of cholesterol. Surprisingly, detailed analyses of these cholesterol transporters have revealed that they can also transport vitamin E and vitamin K, providing clues to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying the intestinal absorption of these fat-soluble vitamins. In this review, we focus on the membrane proteins (Niemann-Pick C1 like 1, scavenger receptor class B type I, cluster of differentiation 36, and ATP-binding cassette transporter A1) that are (potentially) involved in the intestinal absorption of cholesterol, vitamin E, and vitamin K and discuss their physiological and pharmacological importance. We also discuss the related uncertainties that need to be explored in future studies.

Time course of the growth of cultured Pinellia ternata plants was investigated.Corm-like bodies were cultured in a MS liquid medium containing 0.25mg/l IAA and 0.5mg/l BA by shaking. On the 13th, 27th, 41th, and 54th day, the dry weight of each organ-corm-like body, leaf blade, petiole, root-was measured. From these data, growth parameters and distribution rate of dry matter in each organ were calculated.Relative growth rate was at its maximum at the beginning of culture and then decreased gradually. The growth rate in the dry matter of the whole plant was at its maximum between the 13th-27th day.The time course of the distribution rate of dry matter in each organ indicates that during the first half of the culture period, mainly leaf blades and petioles grow and during the latter half, mainly corm-like bodies grow.Judging from the weight of corm-like bodies obtained for a fixed period and the cost in gaining corm-like bodies, the best culture period was 41 days.

Epidemiological and animal studies have demonstrated that ingestion of green tea enhances healthy life. However, caffeine in green tea can interfere with sleep. In this report, we examined the effect of green tea with lowered caffeine, low-caffeine green tea, on stress and sleep of the elderly. The participants (n = 10, mean age 89.3 ± 4.2 years) drank five cups/day of standard green tea for 1 week. Subsequently, they drank five cups/day of low-caffeine green tea for 2 weeks. Salivary α-amylase activity (sAA) was measured as a stress marker. Sleep stages were measured using a portable electroencephalography (n = 7, 6 female and 1 male). The level of sAA in the morning (sAAm) was significantly lower when the participants drank low-caffeine green tea than standard green tea. While the levels of sAAm were different among individuals, lower sAAm correlated with a higher quality of sleep. In those participants whose sAAm was lowered by the ingestion of low-caffeine green tea, some sleep parameters improved. Daily ingestion of low-caffeine green tea may be a beneficial tool for improving the quality of sleep of the elderly via the suppression of stress, although further research is required to fortify this hypothesis.

Improving the process of cell injection during hepatocyte transplantation requires an understanding of the causal relationships that shear, direct contact cells with a solid surface, and cell deformation have on cell viability loss. A linear shear model was used to model this loss of cell viability during their movement on a solid surface as part of the injection step of hepatocyte transplantation. Rat hepatocytes were studied under linear shear using two parallel plates, with a ”tight” condition that had a 25 μm gap, and a ”loose” gap condition with a > 25 μm gap, to determine the effects of cell deformation, and simulate cell viability loss during injection. Cell morphology and deformation were also observed using time-lapse images. Direct contact with a solid surface is deleterious for cells, and live cells became deformed under shear stress until they lost viability. The cell size could decrease or increase during deformation, and a loss of viability could occur due to a loss of membrane integrity or cell rupture. The space limitations in the tight gap could prevent cell expansion, which delayed the process of cell viability loss. In summary, preventing the direct contact of hepatocytes with a solid surface is recommended to improve the cell injection process during transplantation.

Spontaneous rupture of the tendon during long-term systemic administration of steroids is rare and it is found only sporadically at the Achilles tendon.We report two cases of spontaneous rupture of the tendon during long-term systemic steroid therapy.One of the patients who was administered steroids for systemic lupus erythematosus developed rupture of the Achilles tendon, and the other treated for polyneuritis showed rupture of the tendon of the long head of the biceps brachii muscle.These two cases are considered to show that rupture of the tendon occurred due to degeneration and weakness of tendon tissue during long-term systemic steroid therapy.

The purpose of tumorigenicity testing, as applied not only to cell substrates used for viral vaccine manufacture but also stem cells used for cell-based therapy, is to discriminate between cells that have the capacity to form tumors and cells that do not. Therefore, tumorigenicity testing is essential in assessing the safety of these biological materials. Recently developed NOD/Shi-scid IL2Rg^<null> (NOG) mice have been shown to be superior to NOD/Shi-scid (SCID) mice for xenotransplantation of both normal and cancerous cells. To select a suitable mouse strain as a xenogenic host for tumorigenicity testing, we compared the susceptibility of NOG (T, B, and NK cell-defective), SLID (T and B cell-defective), and the traditionally used nude (T cell-defective) mice to tumor formation from xenotransplanted HeLa S3 cells. When 10^4 HeLa S3 cells were subcutaneously inoculated into the flanks of these mice, the tumor incidence on day 22 was 10/10 (100%) in NOG, 2/10 (20%) in SCID, and 0/10 (0%) in nude mice. The subcutaneous tumors formed reproducibly and semiquantitatively in a dose-dependent manner. Unexpectedly, half of the NOG mice (5/10) that had been inoculated with a mere 10^1 HeLa S3 cells formed progressively growing subcutaneous tumors on day 78. We confirmed that the engrafted tumors originated from inoculated HeLa S3 cells by immunohistochemical staining with anti-HLA antibodies. These data suggest that NOG mice may be the best choice as a suitable strain for testing tumorigenicity.

The worse air pollution due to haze from fires occurred in the Southeast Asia during the strongest 1997-1998 El Niño event in the last century. The dense haze came from forest and peat fires mainly occurred in Indonesia. Recent fires in Indonesia have become an annual phenomenon nevertheless rapid deforestationrate showed declined trend. In addition, Indonesia formally admitted very large amount of CO2 emissionmostly from fires and deforestation (about 3.01 billion tonnes after the United States). Indonesia is nowrequested to reduce air pollution due to haze and carbon emissions at the same time. For an execution ofREDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation plus) in Indonesia, it is also essential to develop an effective firefighting strategy.In this paper, recent hotspot data captured by NASA MODIS from 2002 to 2010 was analyzed to graspthe recent fire trend in the whole Indonesia. As Indonesia is not so small country, various grid sizes utilizing latitude and longitude angles from 1x1 to 0.01x0.01 degrees were used for various analysis purposes. Analysis results using one degree grids clearly showed the highest hotspot density areas in Indonesia located in Kalimantan and Sumatra Islands. Among them, One of the Mega Rice Project (MRP) regions (grid center:south latitude 3o, east longitude 114o) showed extremely high hotspot density, 0.188hotspots/km2/year. Two regions in Riau and South Sumatra of Sumatra Island followed the MRP area and their hotspot densities were 0.111 and 0.106 hotspots/km2/year, respectively. Other high hotspot density regions were mostly found in deforested area on peat. Analysis results on seasonality of peat fire showed strong correlation with El Niño event. Finally, the authors are now proposing an effective fire forecast method based on recent fire trend in Indonesia.

The robust control design method has been studied in recent decades. A control system works well under the modeling errors and disturbances if controller design is based on the robust control method. However, it is well known that in control systems, generally, there exists a trade-off between control performance and robustness. To overcome the trade-off problem, this paper proposes an internal model type compensator structure that minimizes the modeling gap between the nominal model and actual plant dynamics. By using the proposed compensator, the dynamics of the compensated system closes to that of the nominal model. Then, a design method of the compensator parameters is also proposed for minimizing a set of plant dynamics. The proposed design method is reduced to the standard µ design control problem. If we use the proposed compensator for control systems instead of the plant itself, the output performance might be better despite plant uncertainty. Given that the proposed compensator can be used for the control of not only linear but also nonlinear plants, we can easily achieve robust control of nonlinear systems. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by numerical examples.

Design methods for control systems based on plant models have been developed for many years. If a mathematical model is accurately obtained from the input-output relation of a plant, then the designed controller for the model performs well for the control system connected with the plant. However, the desired control performance might not be achieved when there is an undeniable modeling error. To overcome this problem, the authors proposed the model error compensator (MEC) to minimize the effect of the modeling error between the plant and the model. The MEC works well for many control systems, such as unstable systems and non-linear systems. However applying the MEC to non-minimum-phase plants is difficult because of their control system structures. Non-minimum-phase plants are well known for being difficult to control. This paper proposes an MEC with a parallel feed-forward filter (PFF). The PFF is used to cancel the non-minimum-phase characteristics of the plant. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through numerical examples.

Morphine, oxycodone, and fentanyl are commonly used to control cancer pain. Because these drugs have differences in receptor affinity or pharmacokinetic parameters, changing the opioid formulation may result in an unexpected outcome, depending on the patient’s condition. This study investigated whether low serum protein levels influence the effectiveness of opioid rotation by determining the impact of serum albumin levels on the analgesic effect before and after opioid rotation from morphine or oxycodone to fentanyl in cancer patients. The patients were classified into 3 groups according to their serum albumin levels before opioid rotation: group 1, <2.5 g/dL; group 2, from 2.5 g/dL to <3.0 g/dL; and group 3, ≥3.0 g/dL. There was no significant change in the percentage of patients with good pain control after rotation in group 1 or group 2; however, the percentage of patients with good pain control increased significantly in group 3. When the percentage of patients whose numerical rating scale scores increased, were unchanged, or decreased after rotation were compared, a significant difference in the percentage of those showing improvement was noted among the 3 groups and between groups 1 and 3. These findings suggest that monitoring serum albumin levels during fentanyl therapy is useful for pain management, and that the effectiveness of opioid rotation to fentanyl in patients with serum albumin levels of <2.5 g/dL should be carefully evaluated after rotation.
