The purpose of this study is to improve a quick method for estimation of I concentrations in the air using data measured by monitoring posts in case that a nuclear disaster occurs. In this method, I concentrations were estimated by multiplying I count rates of cloud-shine measured with NaI (Tl) detector by concentration conversion factor. A previous study suggested that it was difficult to determine passing-through time of plume from temporal change of I count rates or dose rate. Our study applies the method for estimating passing-through time of plume from temporal change of noble gas counts. The I concentrations in the air at Oarai center, Japan Atomic Energy Agency resulting from the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant were estimated by proposal technique. The result of comparison of this method with sampling method for I concentrations in the air were within factor 3.

The purpose of this study is to develop a quick method for estimation of I concentrations in the air using data measured by monitoring posts. In this method, I concentrations were estimated by multiplying I count rates at the full-energy peak measured with a NaI(Tl) detector by a concentration conversion factor. The concentration conversion factor for monitoring posts in JAEA Oarai Center was calculated with an EGS5 Monte Carlo code. As a result, the concentration conversion factor for an infinite-air-source was 25.7 Bq/m/cps.

Enteroscopy was usually performed by the double balloon or capsule endoscopes. However, it is difficult to use these endoscopes in patients who suffer from intestinal obstruction and adhesion. We have developed a new endoscope that can be used in patients who suffer from these problems; the instrument consists of an ileus tube and an optical fiberscope (diameter 1.1 mm). The entire small intestine can be observed by controlling the internal pressure of the balloon in the ileus tube and by pulling the tube out at a constant speed. In our previous study, we developed an internal pressure control device that consists of a balloon attached to an ileus tube and a medical syringe. We also verified the control performance of this device. In this study, we have designed a new two-degrees-of-freedom control system having self-tuning capabilities that enhances the control performance for various types of syringes doctors use usually. The effects of the proposed method are illustrated by the experiment. The obtained results show that balloon pressure in the reference response satisfactorily tracks the output of the reference model and can be settled within 2% in steady state. In addition, the disturbance rejection properties of the PID control method were affected by the changes in balloon pressure, but this problem can be solved by using the proposed control system.

Recently, by development of double balloon and capsule endoscopes, small intestinal whole area observation was enabled. However, it is difficult to use these endoscopes in patients with intestinal obstruction and adhesion. We developed a new endoscope that can be used in patients with intestinal obstruction and adhesion; this instrument consists of an ileus tube and an optical fiberscope (diameter, 1.1 mm). The complete observation of small intestinal is to be planned by controlling internal pressure of balloon in ileus tube, and pulling the tube out at constant speed. In our previous study, we have developed an internal pressure control device which consists of a balloon of ileus and an industrial cylinder, and we confirmed the utility. In this study, we developed a new control device combined with a general medical syringe, which enables to be sterilized easily and also to give less anxiety to patients. As the results of performance experiment of the device, the control accuracy was within 0.5% error. Furthermore, in a disturbance response, the pressure fluctuation was limited down to 12%, compared with a case without any control.

Focusing on the measurement function loaded on our rigid-typed endoscope for the fetal surgery treatment, we proposed that its combination with a generally used digestive endoscope enabled calibration of lesion size in stomach. While adding the function, with which the target size is to be easily measured, on the endoscope, we simplified the system structure as much as possible. We also tried to minimize the total cost by using the generally used endoscope, instead of making it from scratch. Combining another development, the composite-type optical fiberscope with diameter of 1.1mm, with a generally used endoscope, we proposed the following as the features: (1)acquisition of fiberscope image, (2)laser irradiation for treatments, (3)applying the real time measurement function of distance and blood flow by semiconductor laser to the generally used endoscope. We have operated the clinical study to the gastric wall of person with no health problem, using this system and confirmed it was available for practical use.

Instruments for measuring the internal pressure of digestive organs are used for diagnosing functional diseases, judging how critical the condition is, and deciding the treatment method or determining the degree of alleviation. However, the technique wherein the internal pressure of the small intestine is measured is highly invasive and painful for patients, and the insertion of the catheter via transducers is not preferred because it involves the insertion of an electric instrument in the body. In this study, we developed a system that measures the pressure of the small intestine with an ileus tube, which is generally used for the treatment of ileus. The main feature of our system is that can be used to measure internal pressure without the insertion of electric instruments such as transducers into the body, allowing the assessment of ileus without causing pain to the patient being treated. In this note, we present a brief description of the structure and function of this instrument used to measure the internal pressure of the small intestine.

The double-balloon and capsule endoscopes are difficult to use such endoscopes in patients who suffer from intestinal obstruction and adhesion. We have developed a new endoscope that can be used in patients who suffer from these problems; the device consists of an ileus tube and an optical fiberscope (1.1 mm in diameter). When this endoscope is removed from the body at a constant speed, the entire small intestine can be observed by controlling the internal pressure of balloons of the ileus tube to sufficiently maintain the state of the bowel. In this research, we developed a device to control the internal pressure of the balloon to facilitate the observation of the entire small intestinal area. The internal pressure control device developed by us consists of an ileus tube, a medical syringe, a motor, a pressure sensor, and so on. The medical syringe is used to control the balloon's internal pressure by pushing and pulling the plunger using the motor. To realize a very accurate control performance, we incorporated a two-degrees-of-freedom control system to control the balloon internal pressure. We experimented on three aspects of the device to evaluate its performance (Reference response property, Disturbance rejection property and Maintenance of pressure level). These results suggested that it is possible to remove the ileus tube from the small intestine at a constant speed.
