There have been only a few reports regarding the relation between snow shoveling and acute heart failure syndromes (AHFS). We present a case series of 5 patients who presented with AHFS, all within 5 days after shoveling snow. Although all patients underwent examination at a regular out-patient clinic, no patient had prior signs or symptoms of heart failure. The condition of all patients had gradually deteriorated, with no abrupt onset of dyspnea after shoveling snow. Four of the 5 patients demonstrated a preserved ejection fraction on echocardiography. Snow shoveling may lead to AHFS in patients who are at risk for developing heart failure.

Biological resources are the basic infrastructure of bioscience research. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a good experimental model for research in cereal crops and monocots and includes important genetic materials used in breeding. The availability of genetic materials, including mutants, is important for rice research. In addition, Oryza species are attractive to researchers for both finding useful genes for breeding and for understanding the mechanism of genome evolution that enables wild plants to adapt to their own habitats. NBRP-RICE contributes to rice research by promoting the usage of genetic materials, especially wild Oryza accessions and mutant lines. Our activity includes collection, preservation and distribution of those materials and the provision of basic information on them, such as morphological and physiological traits and genomic information. In this review paper, we introduce the activities of NBRP-RICE and our database, Oryzabase, which facilitates the access to NBRP-RICE resources and their genomic sequences as well as the current situation of wild Oryza genome sequencing efforts by NBRP-RICE and other institutes.

In transgenic experiments, we often face fundamental requirements such as overexpressing a certain gene, developing organelle markers, testing promoter activities, introducing large genomic fragments, and combinations of them. To fulfill these multiple requirements in rice, we developed simple binary vectors with or without maize ubiquitin (UBQ) promoter, Gateway cassette and fluorescent proteins. First, we compared stabilities of cauliflower mosaic virus 35S and maize UBQ promoters for constitutive gene expression in transgenic rice. We show that the 35S promoter was frequently silenced after shoot regeneration, whereas maize UBQ promoter achieved stable expression in various young tissues. Binary vectors with Gateway cassettes under the control of the UBQ promoter allowed us to develop stable organelle markers for nuclei, microtubules and P-bodies in rice. The maize UBQ promoter can be easily replaced with any promoters of interest as exemplified by reporters of mitotic cells and provascular bundles. Finally, by introducing two genomic fluorescent reporters, we showed utilities of the Gateway cassette and two selection markers in large DNA fragment transfer and sequential transformations, respectively. Thus, these binary vectors provide useful choices of transgenic experiments in rice.

Genetic differentiation among five populations of the Japanese freshwater crab Geothelphusa dehaani, each comprising one of three different body color types, dark brown (RE), dark purplish brown (DA), and grayish blue (BL), was examined by means of electrophoretic analysis of 16 enzyme loci. Allelic replacement was observed between the BL-type population and populations of the other two types (RE and DA) at three loci (α Gpd, Gpi, and Sod-1), but not between the RE-and DA-type populations. The average of Nei's genetic distance (D) was 0.035 between the RE and DA populations (range of 0.013-0.061), 0.251 between the RE and BL populations (0.244-0.260), and 0.296 between the DA and BL populations. These results suggest that the BL type is only distantly related to the other two color types (RE and DA).
