Species of the Citrus genus are known as rich sources of phenolic compounds. Peels of Citrus tachibana and Citrus unshiu are used in herbal formulations, sometimes in similar ways. In this study, we examined the effects of plant maturity and genetic background on the total phenolic contents and quantities of specific flavonoids in C. tachibana peel. In addition, we compared these values in C. tachibana and C. unshiu peels. The total phenolic contents and the contents of nobiletin, tangeretin, and hesperidin were higher in the extracts of the immature peel than in those of the mature peels of C. tachibana; moreover, the quantities of these compounds were also influenced by the genetic background of C. tachibana. In the extracts of C. unshiu peel, the contents of total phenolics, nobiletin, and tangeretin were lower than those of C. tachibana peel. However, the hesperidin content was higher in extracts of C. unshiu peel than those of C. tachibana peel. This study evaluated the phenolic and flavonoid contents of C. tachibana and C. unshiu in an effort to provide new insights into herbal medicines for further study and utilization.

(-)-Epigallocatechin-3--(3--methyl) gallate (, EGCG3″Me), an antiallergic -methylated catechin, is present in high quantities in the green tea cultivar "Benifuuki" ( L.). Previous studies have shown that EGCG3″Me inhibited basophil degranulation mediated through the cell-surface 67-kDa laminin receptor (67LR), but the mechanisms are not fully elucidated.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of double level osteotomy (DLO), a combination of a lateral closed distal femoral osteotomy (LCWDFO) and medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO), on patellar height and patellofemoral alignment as compared to those of isolated MOWHTO.
Methods: Twenty-six consecutive knees in 26 patients who underwent DLO (DLO group) constituted the study population. For comparative purpose, a control cohort (N: 26) matched for age, sex, and body mass index with the study group were selected from the patients who underwent isolated MOWHTO with an opening gap of more than 10 mm during the same period (MOWHTO group).
The Effect of Concomitant Arthroscopic Lateral Retinacular Release on Postoperative Patellar Position and Orientation in Open Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hyogo College of Medicine, Nishinomiya, Japan.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of concomitant arthroscopic lateral release (LR) in open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) by comparing the pre- and postoperative radiological parameters of patellar position and orientation.
Materials And Methods: The study was comprised of 19 knees undergoing OWHTO and concomitant LR and 18 knees undergoing OWHTO alone. Radiological parameters for patellar position and orientation included the Caton-Deschamps index (CDI), Blackburne-Peel index (BPI), patellar tilting angle (PTA), patellar lateral shift (PLS), and patellofemoral distance (PFD), which were evaluated in the preoperative period and at one year after surgery.

Although the incidence of food allergy continues to rise, there have been no effective therapeutic strategies. Citrus fruits contain a number of bioactive flavonoids with immune-regulatory functions. The objective of this study was to determine whether Citrus tachibana (fruit body with peel, leaves, and branch) can protect against the development of food allergy and the mechanism behind it, and to identify the active compound(s) responsible.
