Effects of citrus juice fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum YIT 0132 on Japanese cedar pollinosis during probiotic consumption: an open study. [PDF]

Biosci Microbiota Food Health, 2020
ABSTRACTJapanese cedar pollinosis (JCPsis) is a major national health problem in Japan. The present review provides an update on information on JCPsis based on clinical data from our research group, through the support of the Department of Health and Welfare (Japanese Government), during the period from 1988 to 1997, because this disease is ...

Radiocesium mobility in different parts of the two major tree species in Fukushima

Scientific Reports, 2023
Radiocesium (137Cs) released in the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident is still cycling in the forest ecosystem. We examined the mobility of 137Cs in the external parts—leaves/needles, branches, and bark—of the two major tree species in ...

Exposure to Japanese Cedar Pollen in Early Life and Subsequent Sensitization to Japanese Cedar Pollen.

Journal of Epidemiology, 2000
The effect of exposure to Japanese cedar pollen (JCP) in early life on subsequent sensitization to it was evaluated. Specific IgE antibody to JCP was examined in 440-504 school children in a rural town each year during 1995-98. The amount of dispersed pollen measured by a Durham sampler widely ranged from 165 to 5941 grains/cm2/year during this period.

A novel approach of preventing Japanese cedar pollen dispersal that is the cause of Japanese cedar pollinosis (JCP) using pollen-specific fungal infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
In Japan, Japanese cedar pollen dispersal is one of the major causes of pollinosis. Sydowia japonica is an ascomycetous fungus that grows exclusively on the male strobili of Japanese cedar, suggesting a possible mechanism for controlling pollen dispersal.
