Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) reaction elicited in ears of male ddY mice was studied by means of assessing dye leakage. In the ear, PCA reaction was more sensitive and reproducible than that in the dorsal skin. The reaction was significantly suppressed by ketotifen, one of antianaphylactic agents.

In order to better teach pronunciation to students, it is necessary to gain a better appreciation of the types of pronunciation patterns and issues that Japanese speakers encounter when attempting to speak in English. To highlight some of these issues, a sample dialogue between two Japanese learners was recorded and analyzed for segmental and suprasegmental features. The analysis revealed that ...

Presented here is the first detailed geochemical data set on the U/Th series Th, Pa, AC, and Pb isotopes and artificial fallout radionuclides (90Sr, 137Cs and Pu isotopes), and some trace elements (V, Zn, Cd, Cu, Mn, and Ni ) in two water , columns of the Jap;an and Bonin trenches down to the bottom depths of 7585 m and 9750 m, respectively. Hydrographic properties such as tlemperature, salinit...

A coherent consensus regarding the etiology of multiple sclerosis (MS) and immune-mediated chronic diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile diabetes, and autoimmune thyroid disease) has emerged over the past two decades: exogenous (including infectious), environmental, or behavioral (lifestyle) factors cause disease onset in genetically susceptible persons.1 Neither genes by themselves ...
