Seven salivary polymorphic systems were studied using whole and parotid saliva from random Japanese individuals. The gene frequencies obtained were: Pa+ = 0.212, Pb1 = 1.000, Pb2 = 0, Pr1 = 0.763, Pr2 = 0.237, Db+ = 0.051, Pm+ = 0.409, Ph+ = 0.026 and Amy1v = 0.013, respectively. Based on these gene frequencies, the chances for exclusion of falsely alleged fathers were calculated. The chance of exclusion on the basis of five salivary polymorphic systems was 0.305. The combined chance of exclusion utilizing only blood, serum and red-cell enzyme polymorphic systems among the Japanese population was 0.919; however, by applying salivary polymorphic systems to the calculation, the total exclusion rose to 0.944.
Salivary genetic marker systems, especially the Pm and Ph systems, were studied in Caucasians. The gene frequencies obtained were, Pm+ = 0.14 and Pm- = 0.86. A variant polymorphic protein (Ph) present in the Japanese population was not observed in Caucasians.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of 3D reconstruction of the tracheobronchial system using spiral CT. A total of 25 patients with tracheobronchial abnormalities, stenosis (n = 21) and fistula with esophagus (n = 4), underwent a single breathhold spiral CT (5 mm collision, 5 mm)/s increment). With respect to localization, extent and degree of stenosis and size of fistula were compared with findings at bronchoscopy. The CT location and extent of stenoses were consistent with bronchoscopic findings in all 21 patients. The diameter and shape of the lesions were not evaluated in five patients with severe stenoses. In patients with fistula, 3D CT image demonstrates the location and size of fistula in all four patients. Spiral CT serves to demonstrate accurate and useful 3D reconstruction images for planning and monitoring therapy.
