福井健作教授の研究室は、炎症性腸疾患の病態解明を目的として、腸管に局在する自己抗体とその抗原の同定に取り組んでいます。特に、潰瘍性大腸炎患者に認められるコロニー接着性IgG(CCA-IgG)が認識するコロニー由来タンパク質の同定や、その病態における役割の解明を進めています。また、環境中のヒ素や水銀などの重金属の環境挙動やそのリスク評価についても、環境化学的・分析化学的手法を用いて研究を展開しています。

Patients with idiopathic ulcerative colitis (UC) have a colon- bound antibody (CCA-IgG) that reacts with colon tissue extracts. We have partially characterized a colonic protein that is specifically recognized by CCA-IgG. CCA-IgG was eluted from operative colon specimens from 10 patients with UC. A colon tissue-bound IgG was similarly eluted from six patients with Crohn's colitis, two with ischemic colitis, and one with diver- ticulitis. Purified serum IgG from patients with Crohn's disease, fro
Atmospheric mercury emissions have attracted great attention owing to adverse impact of mercury on human health and the ecosystem. Although waste combustion is one of major anthropogenic sources, estimated emission might have large uncertainty due to great heterogeneity of wastes. This study investigated atmospheric emissions of speciated mercury from the combustions of municipal solid wastes (MSW), sewage treatment sludge (STS), STS with waste plastics, industrial waste mixtures (IWM), waste pl
Crop residues and animal dung can contribute a significant portion to the biomass available for conversion to biofuels in Zimbabwe. This paper will extend a quantitative methodology involving the use of probability distributions to rigorously address uncertainty in the quantification of this biomass. The results of 100 000 Monte Carlo simulations using Palisade’s @Risk tool indicates the following at a 90% confidence interval: 2.55-5.50 million Mg/yr. of crop residue and 2.99-4.99 million Mg/yr.
