Existence of reassortant A (H1N2) swine influenza viruses in Saitama Prefecture, Japan

During two winter seasons between 1999 and 2001, seven strains of influenza virus were isolated from healthy pigs in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. All isolates were identified as A (H1N2) reassortant viruses. Genetic and phylogenetic analyses indicated that they had classical swine-like hemagglutinin (HA) and internal genes, and relatively early human-like neuraminidase (NA) gene. The HA and NA ge...

The first reported case of a dog infected with Echinococcus multilocularis in Saitama prefecture, Japan.

A case-control study of colorectal cancer and its relation to diet, cigarettes, and alcohol consumption in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.

A case-control study of colorectal cancer in relation to dietary, smoking, and drinking habits was undertaken in Saitama Prefecture, Japan. The study was based on 181 newly diagnosed cases of adenocarcinoma of the colorectum at a single institution and 653 general population controls. Dietary habits were investigated on the basis of the intake of 12 foods and 12 food groups in a food intake fre...

Chromosome abnormalities in malignant lymphoma in patients from Saitama.

Clonal chromosome abnormalities were found in 89 (97%) of 92 patients with non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma including immunologically determined 34 B- and 25 T-lymphomas; only 3 of 19 T-lymphoma patients examined had serum adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma-associated antigen antibody. Association of 8q24 translocations with small non-cleaved cell (P less than 0.01) and that of t(14;18) (q32;q21) w...

Dynamic Compression of Diopside and Salite

New Hugoniot data on single crystal diopside, CaMgSi206 (Di), suggest that transformation to a high-pressure thermomechanical state begins at ---50 GPa and is complete above 100 GPa, in agreement with other pyroxenes and silicates of geophysical interest. Comparison of the new high pressure phase (HPP) data for Di and salite, CaMg0.82Fe0.•8Si206 (Sa) with appropriate mixed oxide and perovskite ...
