Mammalian quantitative traits that are observed at the whole-body level, such as body weight and length and blood biochemical parameters, are determined by the cooperative effects of multiple genetic and epigenetic factors as well as environmental factors. This complexity has hampered the genetic analysis of quantitative traits. To overcome this difficulty, we have established a full set of consomic mouse strains, also known as chromosome substitution strains, by replacing every chromosome of the classical inbred strain C57BL/6J with its counterpart from the Japanese wild-mouse-derived inbred strain MSM/Ms. The core components of the genomes of these two strains originated from different mouse subspecies. The inter-subspecific large-genome divergence and phenotypic differences between the two strains allowed the identification of genetic determinants for many quantitative traits by comprehensive phenotype screening. For some quantitative traits, the genetic determinants could be dissected into multiple chromosomes, thereby reflecting strain differences between C57BL/6J and MSM/Ms and their simple additive effects on the background of the consomic host strain. For other quantitative traits, the measured values of some consomic strains often far exceeded the range of the two parental strains, which suggests that nonadditive genetic interactions occur among multiple genes located on the substituted MSM/Ms chromosomes and the consomic host chromosomes. Thus, the inter-subspecific consomic strains are unique tools that can be used to identify both additive and nonadditive genetic effects on quantitative complex traits.

BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome is known to increase morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease. The National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Expert Panel III in 2001 (revised in 2005) and the Japanese definition of metabolic syndrome were launched in 2005. No study regarding the association between metabolic syndrome by Japanese definition and mortality has been performed. The aim of this study was to clarify the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its effects to mortality in a population-based cohort study.METHODS: A total of 2176 subjects who satisfied the necessary criteria for metabolic syndrome were examined between 1992 and 1995 as a part of Jichi Medical School Cohort Study by Japanese definition. Cox's proportional hazard models were used to analyze the association of metabolic syndrome with mortality.RESULTS: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 9.0% in males and 1.7% in females. There were 17 deaths (14 males), including 6 cardiovascular deaths (5 males), during a 12.5-year follow-up period among metabolic syndrome subjects. After adjusting for age, smoking status, and alcohol drinking status, the hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) for all-cause mortality was 1.13 (0.64-1.98) in males and 1.31 (0.41-4.18) in females, and HR for cardiovascular mortality was 1.84 (0.68-4.96) in males, and 1.31 (0.17-9.96) in females.CONCLUSION: No statistical significant relationship between metabolic syndrome by Japanese definition and all-cause mortality was observed in a population-based cohort study.J Epidemiol 2007; 17: 203-209.

The present research investigated the relationship between public anxiety about a variety of risks and trust in the management of each risk. Adults (N = 2200) were selected from the residents' basic registers using a stratified two-step random sampling method. Of this sample, 1192 (54.2%) rated their anxiety toward 51 kinds of risks and their trust in the management of each risk. Six-point scales were utilized for their ratings. The results demonstrated that the more the risk management was trusted, the less the risk was of concern. The basic statistics for the trust ratings are provided for the discussion of societal risk governance. The implications and limitations of the present findings are discussed.

Two single doses of coupled radioisotopes of 132Cs-86Rb and 132Cs-42K were orally administered to a human subject. Body retention, urinary and fecal excretions as well as the plasma and erythrocytes contents of radioisotopes were determined. The proportion of urinary to fecal excretion was found different in cesium and rubidium, the urinary excretion being 85.3% of the total in the former and only 68.1% in the latter. Loss of cesium in the sweat amounted to 1.5 and 3.5% of the total excretion for the first two days. Uptake by the plasma of oral dose was rapid and the whole blood content reached max. 11.4% of the dose of cesium at 1 hour, while 2.9 and 2.4% respectively of rubidium and potassium was reached. The levels in the erythrocytes seemed to grow at a slower rate in cesium than in the other alkali elements. The different feature of blood metabolism found in the alkali elements was interpreted by the slow rate of clearance of ingested cesium from blood. Daily fluctuations of fall-out 137Cs in blood and the errors involved in the assessment of the total body burden of 137Cs by blood analysis were also discussed.

Since ankylosing spondylitis (A. S.) tends to be milder and less progressive in women that in men, there are great difficulties in early diagnosing A. S. in female patients. We report a case of A. S. in a woman. A 22-year-old woman with a 6-year history of A. S. was admitted to our hospital in Mar., 1987. The initial sign was gait disturbance due to severe left hip joint pain. Laboratory findings included an almost normal complete blood count, blood chemistry and urinalysis. The ESR at that time was 51mm/h, CRP was 2 puls, rheumatoid factor was negative and HLA B-27 antigen was detected.The plain roentgenogram revealed a narrowing of the joint space and an ankylosing change in the bilateral hip and sacroiliac joints. Routine X-ray examination of the spine showed an almost normal view. An open biopsy of the hip joint showed histopathologically nonspecific chronic inflammatory findings. A Tc-99m scintigram on Feb. 9, 1982 showed an increased activity area in the bilateral hips and sternoclavicular joints, in the sacroiliac joints especially in the iliac sides, and in a part of the cervical spine. This activity began in the early stage of A. S. However, a plain roentgenogram of these joints at that time showed normal findings.If history, clinical and laboratory findings lead to a suspicion of A. S., and there is little significant change by roentgenographic studies, the whole body scintigraphy is useful for the early diagnosis of A. S. in female patients.

In this paper, we present the three-dimensional finite element seismic response analysis of the full-scale boiling water reactor BWR5 at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant subjected to the Niigata-ken Chuetsu-Oki (NCO) earthquake that occurred on 16th July 2007. During the earthquake, the automatic shutdown of the reactors was performed successfully. Although the monitored seismic acceleration significantly exceeded the design level, it was found through in-depth investigation that there was no significant damage of the reactor cores or other important systems, structures and components (SSCs). In the seismic design commonly used in Japan, a lumped mass model is employed to evaluate the seismic response of SSCs. Although the lumped mass model has worked well so far for a seismic proof design, more precise methods should be developed to understand response behaviors visually. In the present study, we propose the three-dimensional finite element seismic response analysis of the full-scale and precise BWR model in order to directly visualize the dynamic behaviors of this model. Through the comparison of the analysis results, we discuss the characteristics of both models. The stress values were also found to be generally under the design value.

A prediction method for water temperature in a spent fuel pit of a PWR has been developed to calculate the increase in water temperature during the shutdown of cooling systems. In this study, the prediction method was extended to calculate the water level in a spent fuel pit during loss of all AC powers, and predicted results were compared with data of spent fuel pools in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station. The calculations gave reasonable results, but overestimated the decreasing rate of the water level and water temperature. This result indicated that decay heat was overestimated and evaporation heat transfer from the water surface was underestimated. Results of calculations with 80% decay heat and 155% (No. 4 pool) or 230% (No. 2 pool) evaporation heat flux were in good agreement with data. The data-fitted evaporation heat fluxes agreed rather well with the evaporation heat transfer correlation proposed by Fujii et al.
