Effects of hot deep seawater bathing on the immune cell distribution in peripheral blood from healthy young men
Environmental Health and Preventive Medicine, 2003Co-Authors: Yasuo Tsuchiya, Tomihiro Shimizu, Teruyuki Tazawa, Kazutoshi Nakamura, Masaharu YamamotoAbstract:Objectives Deep seawater (DSW) utilization technology has been developed for the fields of medicine and health, among others. To clarify the health effects of DSW as compared with surface seawater (SSW) or tap water (TW), we investigated the changes of immune cell distribution of the peripheral blood, or Subjective Judgment scores, after hot water bathing. Methods Ten healthy young men were immersed for 10 min in DSW, SSW and TW heated to 42°C. Blood samples were collected before bathing, immediately after bathing and 60 min after bathing. Total and differential numbers of leucocytes and lymphocyte subsets (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD16, and CD56) were examined using an automated hematology analyzer and a flow cytometer, respectively. The Subjective Judgment scores were obtained by an oral comprehension test. Results Since the pre-bathing leukocyte count in the TW group was significantly different from those in the DSW and SSW groups, we excluded the findings of TW bathing from consideration. In hot DSW bathing, CD8-lymphocytes increased significantly immediately after bathing (p

Research on the Measuring of Semantic Similarity Based Ontology
Information Sciences, 2012Co-Authors: Sheng Qiu-yanAbstract:The research about word similarity is very important in knowledge representation and information retrieval.Semantic similarity is divided into concept similarity and description similarity.A calculation of semantic similarity between concepts in ontology is presented by the hierarchy of ontology concepts.To make the calculation of semantic similarity between concepts more similar to human's Subjective Judgment,semantic similarity is divided into concept similarity and description similarity;the final semantic similarity is produced by merging concept similarity and description similarity.The optimized parameter settings are gained through the experiment results.

trail making test performance contributes to Subjective Judgment of visual efficiency in older adults
PeerJ, 2015Co-Authors: Annalisa Setti, James Loughman, George M Savva, Rose Anne KennyAbstract:Introduction. The determinant factors that influence self-reported quality of vision have yet to be fully elucidated. This study evaluated a range of contextual information, established psychophysical tests, and in particular, a series of cognitive tests as potentially novel determinant factors. Materials & Methods. Community dwelling adults (aged 50+) recruited to Wave 1 of The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing, excluding those registered blind, participated in this study (N = 5,021). Self-reports of vision were analysed in relation to visual acuity and contrast sensitivity, ocular pathology, visual (Choice Response Time task; Trail Making Test) and global cognition. Contextual factors such as having visited an optometrist and wearing glasses were also considered. Ordinal logistic regression was used to determine univariate and multivariate associations. Results and Discussion. Poor Trail Making Test performance (Odds ratio, OR = 1.36), visual acuity (OR = 1.72) and ocular pathology (OR = 2.25) were determinant factors for poor versus excellent vision in self-reports. Education, wealth, age, depressive symptoms and general cognitive fitness also contributed to determining self-reported vision. Conclusions. Trail Making Test contribution to self-reports may capture higher level visual processing and should be considered when using self-reports to assess vision and its role in cognitive and functional health.
