The majority of the area contaminated by the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident is covered with forests. We developed a dataset for radiocaesium (137Cs) in trees, soil, and mushrooms measured at numerous forest sites. The 137Cs activity concentration and inventory data reported in scientific journal papers written in English and Japanese, governmental reports, and governmental monitoring data on the web were collated. The ancillary information describing the forest stands were also collated, and further environmental information (e.g. climate) was derived from the other databases using longitude and latitude coordinates of the sampling locations. The database contains 8593, 4105, and 3189 entries of activity concentration data for trees, soil, and mushrooms, and 471 and 3521 entries of inventory data for trees and soil, respectively, which were collected from 2011 to 2017, and covers the entire Fukushima prefecture. The data can be used to document and understand the spatio-temporal dynamics of radiocaesium in the affected region and to aid the development and validation of models of radiocaesium dynamics in contaminated forests.
A 7-year-old castrated male Maltese was presented with multicentric erythema, erosion and crust on the face and footpads. A diagnosis of necrolytic migratory erythema (NME) due to hepatic cirrhosis was made following clinical and histopathological examinations. Cutaneous lesions and hypoalbuminemia improved after 32 days of combination treatment of liver support therapy, amino acid fluids, and intravenous adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) therapy. Skin lesions and hypoalbuminemia did not recur during 20 months of ADSCs therapy even after withdrawal of amino acid supplementation. These results suggest that ADSCs therapy could be an effective treatment option for canine NME.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
