JOURNAL FREE ACCESSRecently, reseachers have been studying silver stained nucleolar organizing regions (AgNORs), loops of DNA that transcribe into ribosomal RNA. The number of AgNORs is thought to reflect cellular proliferative activity, but studies of AgNORs in squamous cells of uterine cervical areas are rarely reported, especially in cytology. In the present study, we tried special methods of sampling, smearing, and staining squamous cervical cells, and succeeded in acquiring samples for cytodiagnosis. Next, we tried to count AgNORs in 100 cells from uterine cervices of women, who requested examination of cervical smears in our hospital. The mean AgNORs counts of total squamous cells were closely related to the mean AgNOR counts in intermediate cells. As aging progressed, middle or large sized AgNOR counts increased, mainly in intermediate cells. Pregnancy did not affect the count. In women who used estrogen, large sized AgNOR counts increased, mainly in intermediate cells. In the secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, small sized AgNOR counts increased, mainly in superficial and intermediate cells. During inflammation, middle or large sized AgNOR counts increased. In uterine cervical squamous cell cancer, AgNOR counts increased markedly, compared to benign cases; and AgNOR counts in parabasal cells also increased. The results suggest that AgNOR counts may be useful in cytodiagnosis of the uterine cervical area.View full abstractDownload PDF (2244K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study was to investigate relations between health habits and health knowledge. Six hundred and twenty-nine college freshmen served as subjects. They answered a questionnaire about the teaching of health education in high school, their health knowledge, and their life habits (exercise, length of sleep, frequency of eating) .
1. Attendance at lectures that used teacher handouts was high. Attendance at lectures that had discussion with students was low.
2. The scores were significantly lower for functions of mind and body. This indicates the importance of lectures in the study of fundamental health.
3. The rate of health knowledge was related to the number of items understood. This indicates the importance of teaching many items in high school.
4. By the POSA methed we recognized a double-stage order scale structure of life habits which consisted of exercise, sleep, and eating. It suggests that the main factor was eating, and sleep were next.
5. We recognized a significant relation between scale of life habit and degree of health knowledge. It suggests that it is very important for a student to have health knowledge for good life habits.View full abstractDownload PDF (1548K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA previous autopsy study correlated the histopathological type of BPH with the ultrasonotomographic pattern, so we could estimate 78.3 % of the Glandular type as hypoechoic pattern of echogenesity, 77.8 % of the Fibromyomatous type as hyperechoic, and 75.0 % Mixed type as isoechoic. The purpose of the present study was to investigate this correlation with BPH in clinical cases. Fifty two cases who underwent prostatectomy were histopathologically classified into 3 types: 20 G-type, 6 F-type, and 26 M-type. W e also compared pathological types and prostatic weights with AUA symptom score in this series. Sensitivity and specifi-city of echogenic patterns were: 65.0 %, and 84.4 % G-type; 16.7 %, and 76.9 % F-type; and 76.9 %, and 53.8 % M-type, respectively. The reason for low F-type sensitivity was explained by the fact that the F-type was easily misdiagnosed as M-type. For symptom score, there was no positive relation between pathological type and prostatic weight of BPH. It was concluded that there was significant correlation between pathological types, especially G-and M-types, and the echogenic pattern in clinical cases with BPH.View full abstractDownload PDF (623K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe effects of oxalic acid (OA) and tartaric acid (TA) on absorption of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P), and on bone metabolism of an experimental osteoporosis model were studied in female Wistar rats. After rats were given 1 and 3 % of oxalic acid (OA) or tartaric acid (TA) in their drinking water for 1, 2 and 3 weeks, fecal output of Ca increased dose-dependently with OA and TA. Fecal output of P also increased or tended to increase after OA and TA treatment. To evaluate the effects of OA and TA on bone metabolism of ovariectomized (OVX) osteoporotic rats, OVX rats were given 1 % OA (OVX-OA), 1 % TA (OVX·A) or water (OVX) for 6 months. Ash/Dry weight ratio of femur and tibia decreased significantly in OVX, OVX · OA and OVX · TA compared with sham operated rats (Sham), but there was no significant difference between any two of the three groups. Contents of Ca and P decreased in OVX and very remarkably in OVX · OA and OVX · TA rats compared to the controls. Histomorphometricaly, trabecular volume in tibial epiphysis decreased in OVX · OA and OVX · TA rats compared to the controls and OVX rats. The results suggest that excessive ingestion of OA and TA might exacerbate osteoporosis due to inhibition of Ca and P absorption from the gut.View full abstractDownload PDF (4171K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSInfancy and childhood are important periods for establishing dietary habits. It has been noted that the time when such dietary habits are fixed and stabilized varies with individual children. W e studied the formation of dietary habits in children and the changes they undergo as they progress through the elementary school years. The sample consisted of 226 children (109 boys, 117 girls) who entered Y elementary school in Yamagata prefecture during the period of Showa 58 through 60. A questionnaire survey was conducted in the 2nd, 4th, and 6th grades asking about dietary habits, including the frequency of intake of the six basic food groups as well as the actual intake and awareness of the children's diets. The findings include the following S 1. Analysis using Quantification theory III revealed that individual dietary habits were more or less fixed throughout the school years surveyed. The frequency patterns of intake of six basic food groups were basically the same among the children of the three different grades, and remained unchanged throughout the school years. 2. There were characteristic groupings among the children that were related to the distinctive frequency patterns of their intake of the six basic food groups. The characteristics of their food intake correlated significantly with their dietary awareness (p<0.001) .View full abstractDownload PDF (1389K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe analyzed diagnostic evaluation, with respect to place of residence, and the outcome for 1480 patients, including 631 with cerebrovascular disease (CVD), who underwent rehabilitation at Showa University Hospital from 1988 to 1992. The incidence of CVD decreased from 60 % to 40 %, with a recent tendency for neurological problems to increase. Approximately 75 % of the patients lived in Tokyo, and 60 % lived near the 3rd constituency (Ohta-ku, Shinagawa-ku, Meguro-ku) . Among the patients with residence in 3rd constituency, 80% lived within a 3 kilometer radius of the Hospital. About half of the patients recived treatments in their own homes. Distance from their places of residence required 66 patients to change hospitals. W e concluded that Showa University Hospital can provide not only highly specialized medical service, but also total rehabilitation service, including community-based rehabilitation.View full abstractDownload PDF (703K) -
