Micro droplets generated on a rising bubble through an oppositely charged oil/water interface
No full textThe mass transfer between immiscible two-liquid phases can be greatly enhanced by bubbling gas through a reactor. Numerous micro water droplets breaking out from a ruptured water film around a rising bubble through the oil (upper phase)/water (lower phase) interface were demonstrated in the preceding paper (Uemura T., Ueda Y. and Iguchi M., Europhys. Lett., 92(2010)34004). In this letter, we attempt to oppositely charge the oil and water layers, taking into account the findings of the preliminary study (Uemura T., Ueda Y. and Iguchi M., J. Visualization, 13(2010)85). As a result, this study successfully produces more and finer water droplets than the preceding experiments

Ogihara Morie, the Sculptor: His Life and Works (Part II)
No full textIn Parts II and III of the present paper in this number and the next number, the author discusses the life of Ogihara, Morie, till his age of twenty.
Ogihara, Morie, was born on December 1, 1879, as the last boy of the five children between Kanroku, the father, and Ryō, the mother, of a farming family at Yahara in Higashi-hotaka Village, Minami-azumi-gun, Nagano Prefecture, a village at the foot of the mountain range so called Japan North Alps. He was graduated from Higashi-hotaka Higher Elementary School and engaged in farming helping the parents. He was bright-brained as well as his forefathers.
After spending his boyhood in a humble and happy household, just around the time of his graduation from the higher elementtary School, he encountered two figures who gave him important influences in the formation of his personality through his short life. They were Iguchi, Kigenji, who was his teacher in higher elementary school and Sōma, Aizō(the later founder of a famous food company, Nakamuraya, in Tokyo).
Both Iguchi and Sōma were born in Higashihotaka Village in the same year of 1870. They were graduated from different elementary schools and entered Matsumoto Middle School as the only two students of middle school from the village. Sōma then left the school with the course unfinished and moved to Tokyo to enter Tokyo Semmon Gakkō, a college which is one of the predecessors of the present Waseda University. In his college days he frequented Christian church, met many leading characters of the Christendom and deepened the understanding of Christianity. After graduation from the college in 1890, he went to Sapporo, Hokkaidō, and devoted himself in temperance campaign assisting the head of Hokkaidō Temperancem Society. In November, 1891, he went back to his home village for his family reasons and started Higashi-hotaka Temperance Society as the first project of clean life movement on December 20 of the same year. Iguchi, who had studied in Meiji Law School after graduation from Matsumoto Middle School and had come back home in April, 1891, and was the school master of the higher elementary school, joined the temperance movement at the end of 1893. Morie also joined it in the next year.
Sōma got married with Hoshi, Ryō, (later known as Kokkō Sōma) in March, 1897. Ryō who was born in Sendai in Miyagi Prefecture and studied in a Christian school was a intellectual lady who had been very much interested in Christianity, literature and new fields of culture since her girlhood. Morie who saw a landscape painting in oil by Nagao, Mokutarō, which she brought when she got married, received a strong impact from its realistic character which is not seen in traditional Japanese painting. Morie kept contact with Ryō Sōma and obtained new knowledges concerning literature, painting and so on.
Iguchi founded a private school, Kensei Gijuku, in search of his ideals, in November, 1898. He, being a devout Christian and being an ardent admirer of Kanzō Uchimura, the leader of “non-Church” Christianity movement, tried to integrate Christianity and traditional Japanese culture. He put emphasis on the cultivation of personality of students based on the ideals of the Bible and Confucian teaching mentioned in Rongo (ch. Lun-yü). Morie cooperated in the administration of the school as an indispensable assistant of Iguchi.
In these two parts of the present paper, the author minutely describes the process of Morie's spiritual growth under the influence of such leading figures as the Sōmas and Iguchi.
After such a fruitful youth period, he determined his way and came up to Tokyo on October 20, 1899, to become a painter.journal articl
Influences of Unsaturated Fatty Acid Fraction (OX) extracted from the Liver of X-Irradiated Rabbit on the Activity of Succinic dehydrogenase in Subcutaneously-Transplanted Yoshida Sarcoma Cells
No full textIn order to study influences of OX on the activity of succinic dehydrogenase in Yoshida sarcoma cells transplanted intramusculrally in the albino-rat thigh, the author injected OX intra-tumorally or intravenously into tumor bearing rats and carried out biochemical and histochemical investigations. The results are as follows: 1. In the cases given direct, intratumoral injection of OX, the activity of succinic dehydrogenase in Yoshida sarcoma cells thus transplanted is decreased, and it recovers very slowly but the same activity in muscle tissues recovers more rapidly. 2. In the histochemical observations when OX is injected intratumorally, central necrosis is increased and also a marked enlargement of bionecrotic foci occurs, but in the outer-most layer colonies of proliferative cells can be recognized. 3. When OX is injected intravenously into tumor bearing rats, the activity of the dephydrogenase is rather increased in tumor tissue, and the part where such increase occurred ultimately tends to become necrotic. In addition, the author discussed briefly about the relation between these changes in the activity of dehydrogenase and OX
Influences of OX Substance of DNA Content and Mitotic Phase of Subcutaneously-Transplanted Yoshida Sarcoma Cells
No full textAfter transplanting Yoshida sarcoma cells under the skin of the thigh of hybrid mice, the author injected 0.2cc of 2% unsaturated fatty acid fraction (denominated as OX substance) intramuscularly and observed the changes in the histological picture, in the mitotic phase as well as the changes in the quantity of DNA per cell, along with the lapse of time, and obtained the following results. 1. The histological pictures revealed the phenomena such as an increase in necrotic foci, a general diminution in stainability and indistinct cell boundary. 2. In counting the number of those cells with a relatively strong activity in cancer foci at various mitotic phases, it has been found that from 6 to 12 hours after the OX injection the number of the cells in metaphase is decreased and from 24 hours on the number of such cells approaches the normal. 3. In the estimation of DNA content per cell, from 6 to 12 hours after the OX injection the number of the cells undergoing a relatively active proliferation but with a decreased DNA content tends to increase but after 24 hours the content per cell approaches the normal level

No full textComprehensive Analysis of Circulating microRNA Specific to the Liver, Heart, and Skeletal Muscle of Cynomolgus Monkeys
No full text Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) could represent sensitive and specific biomarkers for tissue injury. However, their utility as biomarkers in nonclinical toxicological studies using nonhuman primates is limited by a lack of information on their organ specificity and circulating levels under resting condition of the animals. Herein, liver, heart, and skeletal muscle-specific expression patterns of miRNAs were determined in 27 tissues/organs from male and female monkeys (n =2/sex) by next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis. This analysis revealed organ-specific miRNAs in the liver (miR-122), heart (miR-208a and miR-499a), and skeletal muscle (miR-206). Next, plasma was collected from conscious-naive male and female cynomolgus monkeys (n = 25/sex) to better understand the expressions of organ-specific circulating miRNAs. The absolute values of circulating miRNAs were quantified using a Taqman microRNA assay. MiR-1, miR-133a, and miR-208b showed preferential expression in the heart and skeletal muscles, whereas miR-192 was abundant in the liver, stomach, small intestine, and kidney. These miRNAs had identical sequences to their human counterparts. Six organ-specific miRNAs (miR-1, miR-122, miR-133a, miR-192, miR-206, and miR-499a) could be evaluated quantitatively by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction with or without preamplification. No significant sex differences were noted for these circulating miRNAs. For their circulation levels, miR-133a showed more than 900-fold interindividual variation, whereas miR-122 showed only a 20-fold variation. In conclusion, we profiled circulating organ-specific miRNAs for the liver, heart, and skeletal muscle of cynomolgus monkeys. </jats:p
