Um der Erläuterung der Lues-Metalues-Frage näher zu kommen, wurde le systematisclie Untersuchung der Wassermannschen Reaktion unter der Ainu-Rasse angefangen. Die vorliegende Mitteilung enthält die Ergebnisse aus dem Material, welches von der Gemeinde Piratori, Hokkaido, und ihrcr anliegenden Umgebung stammt. Die Gesamtzahl der Untersuchten betrug 610, darunter 203 Männer, 407 Frauen. Durch die wahllose Durchführung der Untersuchung von Gesunden und Kranken sind die folgenen Ergebnisse etwa als die Durcbschnittszahl anzusehen, welche auf die Syphilisausbreitung dieser Gegend hinweist.Wenn es berücksichtigt wird, dass die Prpzentzahl aus Kontrollmaterial, welches aus etwa 200 c. -igentlichen Japanern dieser Gegend bestand, 16, 9% war, so ist es klar ersichtlich, wie stark die Syp%ilis unter den Ainu verbreitet ist. Die folgende Tabelle demonstriert die Wassermannshe Reaktion bei den verschiedenen Lebensaltern.Sehr zu beachten ist die hthe Prozentzahl unter der Gruppe bis zum 15. Lebensjahre, Während sonst bei der klinischen Untersuchung dei-Kinder nur äusserst selten congenital-syphilitische Merkmale zu finden waren je ein Fall mit den Hutchinsonschen Zähnen und der Sattelnase. Auch von ophthalmologischer Seite wutcle kein einziger Fall mit parenchymatöser Keratitis festgestellt. Trotz solchen klinischen Verhältnissen wird dennoch die erwähnre hohe Prozentzahl unter den Jugenhlichen nicht anders als der Ausdruck der ausgebreiteten Congenital-Lues gedeutet werden müssen. Die Prozentzahl der positiven WaR. schwankt von Dorf, zu Dorf von 20, 9% bis zu 53, 8%. Diese Schwankung kann sich gewissermassen auf die geographischen, hygienischen oder sozialen Verhaltnisse jedes Dories beziehen.Durch die klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung fand mai sehr häufig Fälle mit pathologisch r Lichtreaktion der Pupillen. Wir fanden aber in chn Ainu aus erwähnter Gegend nur je einen Fall von Dementia paralytica und Tabes dorsalis a's die manifeste Syphilis des Zentralnervensystems. Die klinische Form dieser Metaluetiker zeigte keine Abweichung von der typischen.Die Bluttypenbestimmung, die bei der Untersuchung der WaR. anhangs-weiss ausgeführt wurde, ergab folgendeZahlen: Gruppe o: 99 Fälle, Gruppe A: 188 Fälle, Gruppe B: 194 Fälle, Gruppe AB: C8 Fälle. Der berechnete Rassenindex, 0, 98, deckt skin mit der Literatur erhobenen Zahlen anierer Autoren.

<p>It has been suggested that comprehensive dietary variables and depressive states are associated, but the relationship in Japanese university students when adjusted for psychological factors is not clear. We investigated the association between food-intake patterns and depressive states after adjusting for the influence of psychological factors in university students enrolled in a registered dietician training course in Japan. 256 students who participated in this study were administered questionnaires, and they underwent a physical measurement survey. Of the 240 students who completed the survey items, food-intake patterns were evaluated by principal component analysis from the results of the self-administered food frequency questionnaires, and the principal component score of each individual's pattern were calculated. Depressive states were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate the odds ratios of depressive states (CES-D &ge; 16) with adjustments for potential confounding variables, such as psychological factors. This study was conducted with the approval of the ethics committee of the University of Human Arts and Sciences Ethics. We identified three food-intake patterns: "A Japanese food-intake pattern of side dish", "A western food-intake pattern of side dish", "A staple food intake pattern". "A Japanese food-intake pattern of side dish" characterized by high intakes of seaweeds, mushrooms, green and yellow vegetables, seafood, light-colored vegetables, potatoes, and pickles was associated with lower rates of depressive states. The multivariate-adjusted odds ratio of having depressive states for "A Japanese food-intake pattern of side dish" was 0.64 (confidence in tervals = 0.46-0.89, P value = 0.008) . Our results suggested that "A Japanese food-intake pattern of side dish" may be related to decreased prevalence of depressive states in Japanese university students.</p>

The developmental process of models which Dickert and Grady suggested for the payment to research subjects was analysed, through a critical reading of their paper and a comparison with preceding papers written by Macklin and Ackerman. The wage payment model which Dickert and Grady recommended has developed for non-clinical research and was recognized as a product of compromise between competing interests ; the need to recruit subjects and obligation to offer them certain types of protection. Application of this model to clinical research causesmore ethical problems of payment as compared with its application to non-clinical research. In clinical research, furthermore, payment itself reveals more about commercial relationship between physicians and patients. However, the model has an ethical advantage to prevent therapeutic misconception. Although the reimbursement model is less likely to commercialize the patientphysician relationship, it is difficult to adopt the model as it can not prevent therapeutic misconception. Payment to patients, a symbol of clinical trials which includes tension between the obligation of society to promote research and the obligation to prevent the moral interests of patients, should be used as a tool to conduct informed consent through which both patients and physicians could attain profound realization of clinical trials together.

In this project we attempted to determine the influence of day-and night-shift working coditions upon the unconscious behaviour of the workers using the overall concept of dividing their personalities into "superficial" and "deep" levels, unlike the conventional methods employed. Although it is premature to think that this method can immediately be applicable, it may become a useful method for the analysis of acquired influences. For explicit behaviour, like "living tempo" or "time language", a strong introvertive consciousness is required, whereas facial expressions, actions, or speech, which characterize dynamic patterns and indications, are outwardly exhibited and are regarded as a cluster of variables enabling observations from the outside. This allows us to utilize the characteristics of inhibiting a defensive reaction, and secondly by enabling the recognition of the influence after a long period of time thus becoming an effective means of standardizing the method for future research and development.

It seems that research designs with large sample size employing statistical analysis are regarded as valuable in modern research of medicine or public health. Significance of case study may be forgotten in recent years. In quantitative researches based on a large number of cases, individuality and bumpiness of each cases are leveled flatly, and we cannot acquire precise information about personal histories behind each cases, course of diseases or process of treatment from such researches. Case studies can provide meaningful information to those engaged in clinical practice or public health activities in communities. There is complementary relationship between quantitative researches with large sample size and case studies, and both types of study are essential. However, professional skills which each professional acquire through his experience are not sufficiently described in case studies as well as in qualitative researches. The author thinks that we could acquire professional skills only through working with and learning from experts under apprenticeship system. In medical disciplines, we come to be able to make scientific and effective interventions, when three types of learning; knowing information from qualitative researches, learning from case studies and acquisition of skills through practical experience under apprenticeship system, meet together.

Objective : This study investigates whether the working status of mothers results in an unbalanced diet (no acceptance of disliked foods) of their preschool children, and the relationship of the preschool children's unbalanced diet and its relevant factors.<br>Methods : This cross-sectional study was conducted using the responses of 1,145 mothers at 15 public kindergartens in a suburban city located in the Kanto region. A self-rating questionnaire examined mother's age and working, child's age and gender, the unbalanced diet of mother and their child, and eating education provided to child.<br>Results : The unbalanced diet of children were not associated with the working status of their mothers. Among non-working mothers, the causal factors of the unbalanced diet of their children were classified as the unbalanced diet of the mother, neglecting to instruct child not to waste food, not giving to child's meal child disagreeable foods or weak foods. Among working mothers, not engaging their child to help in the preparation of meals was the most prominent cause of children's diet unbalances.<br>Conclusion : It was suggested that although the working status of mothers has no direct effect on the unbalanced diet of their childrens, differences in the factors relating to the unbalanced diet of their childrens depend on whether the mother is employed or unemployed.

This study of 1230 infants and newborns was undertaken to realize the development of motor activity. Followings are the results obtained.(1) The percentage of the infants who had acquired the activity arised with the monthage advanced, increasing its value rapidly near the point at which median infants had acquired the activity. And it became a slow increase after that point, showing this tendency more obviously in the higher stages of motor development.(2) The harder became the behavior to achieve, the longer were needed the periods during which the percentage of the infants who had acquired the activity came to 100% from 50%, for there were the infants who acquired the activity extremely late for their chronological age. This fact suggests that the motor development is affected by the physical and environmental components.(3) No remarkable differences were observed in the period at which 50% of the infants had acquired the activity comparing with the pre-war babies.(4) No sexual differences were observed in the period at which 50% of the infants had acquired the activity

In January, 1959, I made researches on the marriage circle as well as the consanguineous and non-consanguineous marriages of all the 444 couples living in Kobori Section (462 houses), Takatsuki-ch&ocirc;, Ikagun, Shiga Prefecture, which section is famous for the long life of its inhabitants. And in May, 1959, I made the same researches of the 197 couples of random sampling living in Asakuni, Shofuku-ji and Iwane villages (330 houses in total) in Iwane Section, Koseicho, Kogagun, in the same prefecture, which section is famous for the short life of its inhabitants. The following are the conclusions arrived at : 1) On the marriage circle by age-groups of males There is a tendency that the younger the age is, the larger the marriage circle becomes in both sections. As to the marriages between the same villagers, the former section shows 20. 72% and the latter section shows 30.46% and the difference between the two sections is statistically significant at the level of 1.0% (X<SUP>2</SUP>=6.71>X<SUP>2</SUP><SUB>0.01</SUB>=6.63). On the other hand, as to the marriages between the different villagers or townspeople in this prefecture, the former section shows 27.25% and the latter section shows 19.28%, and the difference between the two sections is statistically significant at the level of 5.0% (X<SUP>2</SUP>=4.73>X<SUP>2</SUP><SUB>0.05</SUB>=3.84). Therefore, the marriage circle of the former section is larger than that of the latter. 2) On the consanguineous and non-consanguineous marriage by age-groups of males As to the consanguineous marriage, Kobori Section shows 10.59% and Iwane Section shows 13.71%. The latter section is larger in percentage than the former, though the difference is statistically insignificant. Of the consanguineous marriages, those between cousins are the most numerous in both sections. In the former section 76.6% of the consanguineous marriages (8.11% of all the couples) and in the latter section 77.8% of the same (10.66% of all the couples) are marriages betweencousins. By the age-groups of males, there is no clear distinction between the two sections. 3) On the marriage circle of consanguineous and non-consanguineous marriages The consanguineous marriages of both Kobori and Iwane secions include more marriages between the same villagers than the non-consanguineous ones of them, with statistically significant differences at the level of 1.0% respectively (X<SUP></SUP>= 12.54>X<SUP></SUP><SUB>0.01</SUB> = 6.63: X<SUP>2</SUP>= 15.69>X<SUP>2</SUP><SUB>0.01</SUB>=6.63), while the non-consanguineous marriages of both Kobori and Iwane sections include more marriages between the different villagers or townspeople in the same prefecture than the consanguineous ones of them, with statistically significant differences at the level of 1.0% respectively (X<SUP>2</SUP> = 9.28>X<SUP>2</SUP><SUB>0.01</SUB> = 6.63: X<SUP>2</SUP> = 7.45>X<SUP>2</SUP><SUB>0.01</SUB> = 6.63). Therefore, in both sections the circle of consanguineous marriages is far narrower than that of non-consanguineous marriages.

尿路結石症が多発するラオスにおいて,食習慣や生活習慣に関連する因子と疾患発症との関係を明らかにすることを目的に症例対照研究が行われた.尿路結石症例114名および病院ベースでマッチされていない対照97名が調査対象として選ばれた.質問紙を用いて食習慣や生活習慣に関する因子について質問され,各因子についてオッズ比が求められた.また食習慣に関しては,各々の摂取食品項目がどのような因子によって成り立っているのかを明らかにするため因子分析が用いられた.更に共分散構造分析(構造方程式)を用いて食習慣と疾患との間の関係についてモデルを構築しそれぞれの関連を明らかにした.尿路結石は病因の異なる2つのグループ,すなわち上位尿路結石および下位尿路結石に分けられる.下位尿路結石については伝統的な摂取食品項目との間に正の関連を表し,近代的な摂取食品項目との間には負の関連を示した.対照的に上位尿路結石は伝統的な食品項目よりも近代的な食品項目との問により高いパス係数が認められた.ラオスでは今後食生活の近代化によって,下位尿路結石は減少するものの上位尿路結石の罹患は上昇することが考えられる.

Seasonality of nutrient intake was evaluated by 7-successive-day food consumption survey in the ordinary season (March) and the slack season (June) of fish catch among 13 married couples in a Solomon Islands society, who were engaged in traditional horticulture and fishing, together with time allocation study. Males' time spent in gardening and fishing was significantly shorter in June than in March (gardening: -48 min/d, and fishing: -43 min/d; P<0 .05, respectively), while there was no seasonal difference in females. On the other hand, males spent more time in hunting and marketing, and females in particular did more time in marketing (P<0.01). No significant difference in energy intake between March and June was observed for either sex. The protein intake was significantly lower in June than in March (males: -23.9 g/d, P<0.01; females: -12.0 g/d, P<0.05). The males' fat intake was significantly higher in June than in March (+14.8 g/d, P<0.05), thought not significantly in females. To compensate the smaller amount of fish catch in June, the villagers spent more time in hunting and marketing, and they took larger amounts of coconut and a kind of nut, which abounds with fat . This study thus suggested that changes in food obtaining activities and food intake patterns of the villagers played significant roles to cope with seasonal shortage of fish catch.

During the 20th century, Japanese society experienced dramatic demographic changes accompanied by shifts in the epidemiological and health-related domains. During this demographic transition, mortality rates have declined, life expectancy has increased, and fertility rates have declined. Since 2008, the population has decreased and is expected to continue decreasing, with a higher average age. These changes are associated with shifts in the distribution of employment opportunities ; in the composition of households ; and in the balance between rural and urban populations, in favor of the latter, with jobs moving from the agricultural sector to manufacturing and service industries. Lifestyles have changed, social bonds have weakened, and the economic gap between generations and genders has increased. These changes have challenged society's ability to provide adequate and financially sustainable medical and nursing services while also reducing the potential environmental burden on future generations. The close relationship between demographic and social changes underlying this transition renders it difficult to mitigate the effects of future aging and shrinking of the Japanese population. Indeed, to develop strategies for the post-transition reality, various scenarios related to the population dynamics of the future must be examined. To this end, we suggest replacing the concept of chronological age with one of biological and societal age. Biological age can be represented by life-expectancy-equivalent age or by healthy life-expectancy-equivalent age, and societal age can be represented by age-structure-equivalent age. A healthy aging population should be promoted by developing sound relations between health and the natural, man-made, and societal environment.

(1) To apply the ultrasound technique to measuring the subcutaneous fat thickness in neonates. (2) To test the hypothesis that there is a relationship between the neonatal weight loss and their changes of subcutaneous fat thickness during the same period. (3) To relate the results to the maternal and neonatal data. The thickness of subcutaneous fat layer were measured in 172 infants within 24 hours of birth, on the second and the fourth day from the birth, using then pulsed ultrasound apparatus. Six sites were chosen over the right side of the body; (1) biceps (2) triceps (3) subscapular (4) suprailiac (5) upper breast (6) front thigh. The birthweight, gestational age, some anthropometric data at birth, and maternal characters were also recorded. The ultrasonic pulses were clear enough to read when measuring the subcutaneous fat thickness in the neonates. The mean of the fat thickness on the third day was significantly smaller than that of the day of birth, i.e. the first day and the fifth day, indicating the relationship with the weight loss during the four days after birth . It was obvious that fat thickenss is related with birthweight and not with gestational age. The effects of other elements on the fat thickness are now under analysis.

During the period of a year and five months (May 1958-October 1659), I have from the standpoint of constitutional anthropology, made measurements of the living bodies (trunk, limbs, head, face, etc.) of 565 adult males and 325 adult females who are the inhabitants of the SuhO district of Yamaguchi Prefecture. I have made detailed observations based upon the measurement values and index values of 27 items, and have made a comparative study with those of other districts. The following is the result, although here I have restricted the comparative study to adult males.1) The average height of the SuhO district males is 159.98cm and belongs to the “small” group according to Martin's height classification, but as a Japanese adult male they belong to the “below medium” group. Their measurements resemble those of the adult males of the districts of Tosa, Takachiho, Kaga plain, and South Noto.2) The maximum length of the head measured 184.00mm, resembling that of the peoples of Shinshu-Iida, Izumo, and Koma, while the maximum width of the head measured 151.70mm., resembling that of Tosa, Oku-Noto, Bitchu, and Izumo.3) The index number of the length and width of the head is 82.65, belonging to the small-head type, far exceeding the average index value of 81.31 of the district measured by Dr. Koya. This reveals the fact that the maximum length of the head is short in comparison to its maximum width. As seen in view of Martin's head classification, 44.15% of the SuhO district males belong to the 'small head type, and 31.86% to the medium head type. The classification curve and T.D. strongly resembles that of the adult males of Izumo, Koma, Harima, Yamato, Inaba, and Shinshu-Kami-Ina. The resemblance to the Ainu of Hokkaido and to the people of Etcha is negligible.4) Comparing the SuhO district males with those of other districts according to the M.T.D., those of the Koma, Yamato, Izumo, Harima, Bitchu, East Saitama, and Shinshu-Iida, reveal a M.T.D. of below 5.50. This is an interesting discovery in view of the fact that the districts just mentioned all retain the history of immigration from the Asian Mainland. On the other hand, the people of Etcha and Noto who are considered to be of Ainu origin, together with the Ainu of HokkaidO, reveal a M.T.D. of over 12.00, and the relationship is vague.From the above data the general conclusion can be drawn that the people of SuhO district, judging from the measurement results of the various qualities of the highest value in constitutional anthropology, are highly similar to the Yamato, Izumo, Bitchaand Koma people, descendants of immigrants from the Asian Mainland and who had boasted of the highest form of civillization in Japan, and also to the peoples who held active communication with the Asian Mainland. The Suho people had relations with the Yamato dynasty since the era of the tenth Emperor Sujin and went under the leadership of the Yamato dynasty by the time it completed the unification of the country around the middle of the fourth century. They thus were able to prosper, and due to dommunication facilities they probably received the influence of both the Sanyo and San-in sides of the mountainous area, and further by constitutional anthropological study, they show strong racial affiliality to the peoples of Yamato and Izumo. It is also an interesting fact to note that they also show a strong resemblance to the peoples of Bitcht and Harima situated along the Sanyo highway.

As the aging society is developing all over the world quickly, the problems related to health and longevity become important and persistent. The purpose of this study was to compare the demographical status between senior citizens in Xinjiang, China and in Okinawa and Nagano, Japan, where are well-known as longevity areas, and nature and culture are extremely different. We used Japanese national census for 1985-2000 and Chinese national census for 1982-2000. Chi-square test and life expectancy of survival analysis were performed to compare the proportion of 65 years or more and the centenarian people per 100, 000 and life expectancy between China (Xinjiang) and Japan (Okinawa, Nagano). The following results were obtained 1) The proportions of the centenarian people in Xinjiang in 1982 were more than those in Japan in 1985 for both men and women. In 2000, the proportions of centenarian people in Xinjiang were more in men, and less in women (except for the figure based on population aged 65years or more) compared to those in Japan. 2) In Xinjiang, 2000, the proportion of centenarian people became greater, and men were still dominant to women, but the life expectancy for each age group was shorter in men than those in women. In Japan, both proportion of centenarian people and life expectancy were more in women than those in men. 3) In 2000, the life expectancy of 0-79 years old men in Nagano was 0.1-7.7 years longer than that in Xinjiang for each year group, but the ? 80 years old men was 1.3-2.5 years shorter in Nagano than that in Xinjiang. The life expectancy of 0-89 years old women was 0.5-12.5 years longer in Okinawa than in Xinjiang for each year group, and that of ? 90 years old women was inversed with 0.8-1.2 years between the two.
