Microarray analysis of gene expression in lung tissues of indium-exposed rats: possible roles of S100 proteins in lung diseasesNARA Subscribed
Indium compounds are used in manufacturing displays of mobile phones and televisions. These compounds cause interstitial pneumonia in workers and lung cancer in animals, but their precise mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we performed microarray analysis of gene expression in lung tissues of indium-exposed rats. Male Wistar rats (8-week-old) were exposed to indium oxide (In 2 O 3 , mean particle diameter 0.14 μm) and indi...
Spread of Fukushima‐derived radiocesium over the coastal ocean in response to typhoon‐induced flooding in September 2011NARA Subscribed
The Tohoku earthquake off the Pacific coast of Japan on 11 March 2011 and the resulting tsunami led to severe damage to the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) in Japan. Therefore, a shipboard survey was conducted to elucidate spread processes of radioactive cesium over the coastal ocean in the Kuroshio–Oyashio transition zone (south of the FDNPP) from 07 to 12 September 2011, that is, within 8 d of a river flood eve...
The water mass structure in Suruga Bay is strongly influenced by open-ocean water. In particular, it is suggested that intermittent intrusions of the Kuroshio water generate characteristic circulations in the surface layer of the bay. In this study, we investigated the processes of the intrusions of open-ocean water into the bay and related generation of bay-scale cyclonic and anti-cyclonic circulation patterns. In doing so, w...
