Pueraria lobata (Technically Pueraria Montana variant Lobata) is a Traditional Chinese Medicine for the purposes of menopausal symptoms and the associated comorbidities (osteoporosis and cardiac impairment[1]), hangover therapy, and as a general health preservation agent; it is commonly referred to as either Kudzu or Kadzu or Gegen;[2] the term Pueraria Radix (Root of Pueraria) almost exclusively refers to this plant[3] rather than the other bioactive herb Pueraria Mirifica; despite the aforementioned herb being a more potent estrogenic agent, Pueraria Lobata is one of the more popular phytoestrogenic herbs in mainland China.[4]
Puerarin appears to have its absorption increased linearly with increasing concentrations up to 102.7μg/mL without a changing Papp value, suggesting that passive diffusion mediates absorption at lower concentrations with a possible active transport mechanism.[8] It is mostly absorbed in the Ileum,[9] and the active efflux component appears to be mediated by MRP1 (2.6-fold absorption when inhibited by MK-571)[8] as well as P-Glycoprotein (1.8-fold absorption when inhibited by Vermapril).[9][8]
When Puerarin is incubated with either Angelica dahurica basic extract (450μg/mL) or its volatile oils (0.72μl/mL) the absorption of Puerarin is increased 1.7-fold and 3.6-fold respectively; suggesting that Angelica dahurica contains both MRP1 and Pgp inhibitors, and is in accordance with traditional combination therapy of these two herbs.[8]
Puerarin appears to be fairly well absorbed from the intestines at low concentrations, and is effluxed by both MRP and Pgp; combination therapy with Angelica dahurica can enhance absorption of Puerarin
Following oral administration of Pueraria Lobata alongside two other herbs (Danshen and Ligusticum chuanxiong in even ratios), a large oral dose of the ethanolic extract detected both soy isoflavones (Genistein and Daidzein) reaching serum, with a variety of Daidzein conjugates including Puerarin also being detected in serum.[5] This study also confirmed the presence of Methoxypuerarins (3' and 4') and both Formononetin and Glycitein, and noted that diglycosides of Daidzein and one of Formononetin were not detected as Phase II metabolites.[5]
The kinetics of Puerarin (after 7.5g/kg water extract of the decoction) were a half-life of 46.9 minutes (β-Half life of 925.7min) and AUC of 790.3μ min/mL; a Cmax of 1.41ug/mL (3.39umol/L) and a Tmax of 18.5 minutes; suggesting rapid absorption.[5] These parameters are somewhat similar to those achieved with the combination formula GegenQinlian,[10] and similar absorption properties were noted with the other Daidzin-based bioactives.[5]
It was noted that diglycoside metabolites (two Daidzin diglycosides and one Formononetin) were not detected as Phase II Metabolites.[5]
Supplemental dosages of Pueraria Lobata appear to increase circulating levels of isoflavones
When mice are fed a consistent diet containing 0.2% Kudzu root (25.3% Puerarin, 7.07% Daidzin, 0.8% Daidzein), serum levels can be detected of Daidzein (208-883nM) and its glycoside Puerarin (4.57-10.44nM), Dihydrodaidzein (65.36-751nM) and the endogenous metabolite Equol (8,286-29,300nM) are also detected as well as Formononetin (143+/-68nM); the range noted in this study was due to serum levels of both obese and lean mice being measured with obese mice eating more overall.[11]
It is possible most bioactivity of Pueraria Lobata is vicariously through Daidzein and Equol, which would make its bioactivities markedly similar to dietary soy isoflavones (good source of Daidzein, with benefits somewhat linked to endogenous production of Equol)
A study in menopausal women given 100mg of Kudzu isoflavones daily noted that both Kudzu treatment and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT; 0.625mg CEE and 5mg MPA) noted an improvement on the scores on the MMSE rating scale.[1]
Delayed recall was improved in HRT and not in control, and Kudzu was intermediate to these two conditions yet not significantly different from either.[1] Attention span, Motor speed, and flexible thinking were noted to be increased with Kudzu.[1]
May have some cognitive enhancing properties in menopausal women
Kudzu has been tested for its interactions with menopausal symptoms using a supplement standardized for 100mg Isoflavones for a period of 3 months, but has failed to demonstrate a reduction of symptoms (although in this study hormone replacement therapy with 0.625mg CEE/5mg MPA also failed, the authors suspected that the low baseline symptoms were to blame).[1]
Has once failed to reduce menopausal symptoms
It should be noted that the related herb, Pueraria Mirifica, is more commonly touted to be catered to menopause rather than Kudzu
In vitro, Puerarin has been noted to have beta-adrenoreceptor antagonistic properties at 0.1-3umol/L concentrations and has shown these effects following intravenous administration of 100mg/kg isolated Puerarin (cat) and inhibited the effects of beta-adrenergic agonists (ephedrine and isoproterenol) on cardic tissue.[12]
In obese mice given 0.2% of the diet as Kudzu root for 8 months, Kudzu root failed to significantly modify triglycerides or total cholesterol relative to control.[11]
A study using 100mg Kudzu isoflavones daily for 3 months in menopausal women (otherwise health) noted that there was no change in a lipid panel (cholesterol, triglycerides, or Apolipoproteins) that was significantly different than placebo;[1] the active control of Hormone Replacement Therapy exerted benefit.
0.2% of Kudzu root in the diet of obese mice for 8 months is associated with a decrease in fasting glucose (from 183+/-14 to 148+/-11mg/dl; 19% decrease) and improvements in both glucose tolerance (oral glucose tolerance test) as well as insulin tolerance (indicative of insulin sensitivity).[11] Lean mice fed Kudzu in a similar manner experience improvements in glucose tolerance to a smaller magnitude (not statistically significant) with no improvement to insulin tolerance.[11]
In ovariectomized mice given 5-20% of the diet as Pueraria Lobata root for 4 weeks, bone mineral density (of the femur) was increased with 20% Kuduz in the diet being as effective as the active control of 17β-estradiol[3] with another study replicating 20% and 17β-estradiol being equally effective with both increased bone mass beyond baseline and 10% of the diet appearing to normalize bone losses relative to control.[3] 5mg/kg of Puerarin in isolation also appears to exert anti-osteroporotic effects in ovarectomized mice over 8 weeks of feeding,[13] suggesting that this is the active component.
At multiple times, interventions which note improvements in bone mass and serum biomarkers of bone metabolism have failed to find increases of uterine weight (indicative of estrogenicity) either with the Kudzu plant[3] or isolated Puerarin.[13]
Appears to increase bone mineral density, although at least one study suggests that this is distinct from estrogenic effects
0.2% of the diet as Kudzu root for 8 months in obese mice was associaed with an attenuation of the rise of adiponectin seen in the obese control, which brought serum concentrations to a level similar to lean control.[11] This study did not note any alterations in food intake nor body weight associated with Kudzu.[11]
In ovariectomized rats given 100mg/kg of Pueraria Lobata flavones (exact molecules not stated, 'flavone' in this study treated as one entity) daily for 5 weeks noted that the weight gain associated with ovariectomy (research model for menopause) was attenuated, although not to the degree as the active control of 1mg/kg estrogen.[14] Similar results have been noted in obese ovariectomized mice given 80mg or Pueraria Lobata daily, where weight gain assocaited with menopause was attenuated with comparable potency to 0.25mg estradiol.[15]
A polysaccharide from Pueraria Lobata (PLP) has been reported to increased nitric oxide release from macrophages and increase MHC-II expression from dendritic cells, although with minimal efficacy in increasin splenic cell proliferation.[7] This polysaccharide appears to activate monocytic, but not lymphatic, immune cells and concentration-dependently stimulated up to 300ug/mL although never exceeding the active control of LPS.[7]
When looking at the mechanisms, it was noted that PLP-stimulated dendritic cells were characterized by increased NF-kB translocation and increased expression of all MAPKs (p38, JNK, and ERK).[7]
In a study on ovariectomized mice, Pueraria Lobata can induce a dose-dependent activation of Estrogenic activity mediated via ERα, with activation at 1mcg/mL increasing up to 6-fold at maximal activation at 25mcg/mL;[15] it was noted that Pueraria Lobata, as well as Licorice, were both simply agonists and not Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) in this study, and that the EC50 of Pueraria Lobata (5.5µg/mL) was greater than that of licorice (EC50 16µg/mL).[15]
Puerarin (daidzein-8-C glucoside) up to 100uM does not bind to either subset of the estrogen receptor.[13] As daidzein itself has affinity, it appear the 8C glucoside prevents binding via steric hindrance.[13]
In vitro, Pueraria Lobata is estrogenic with affinity for the alpha subset (ERα)
In a study assessing the estrogenicity of Pueraria Lobata against three strains of Pueraria Mirifica, 10-1000mg/kg oral ingestion for these herbs resulted in a failure of Kudzu to induce vaginal cornification (indicative of biologically relevant estrogenicity); Pueraria Mirifica as well as injections of estrogen were both successful in inducing vaginal cornification while 1mg/kg Genistein (one of the two soy isoflavones) also failed.[16] In mice given up to 20% the diet as Kuduz for 4 weeks, there was no noticeable increase in uterine weight when compared to control[3] and a lack of uterine/vaginal effects were replicated with 80mg of the herb extract daily in ovarectomized mice.[15]
When investigating breast tissue, oral ingestion of 40-320mg of Pueraria Lobata in mice bearing breast cancer tumors (MCF-7) failed to find any evidence of Pueraria Lobata stimulating tumor growth, which usually occurs with ERα activation (and occurred in the positive control group of estradiol).[15]
One study has hypothesized that estrogenic effects are localized to adipose (or at least, not female sex organs) as some genetic biomarkers downstream of estrogen activation (downregulation of CD8B and CD79B, upregulation of GPX3 and MUP; estrogen but not Pueraria Lobata influenced Leptin and LCN2) were noted to be upregulated by Pueraria Lobata in the same mice where no uterine effects were noted.[15]
A lack of estrogenic effect has been noted on female sex organs including mammary tissue, which is thought to be either due to a lack of estrogenicity overall (and some bioactives merely mimicking it by chance) or localized estrogenicity that does not occur in sex organs
90 or 180mg/kg isolated Puerarin alongside a chronically high alcohol containing diet (36% of calories) noted that while Puerarin failed to modify the (increased with ethanol) weights of the liver Puerarin was associated with less fatty liver buildup, inflammation, and serum liver enzymes.[17]
Protective effects have been noted with Puerarin in regards to toxin and alcohol-induced liver fibrosis,[19] and 200-800mg/kg of Puerarin in rats fed CCL4 (hepatotoxin) noted dose-dependent protective effects and reduced oxidation and inflammation as assessed by liver histology.[20]
The leaves of Pueraria Lobata (sometimes termed Pueraria flos) are used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for the purposes of hangover prevention and commonly used alongside Ginseng radix, Amomi Fructus rotundus, and Citri reticulatae Pericarpium.[21]
The leaves of Pueraria Lobata (sometimes termed Pueraria flos) appear to enhance the rate of acetaldehyde clearance from the body[22] and may protect against ethanol-induced neuronal injury.[23]
The root extract, which is not traditionally used, appears to inhibit the Aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) enzyme[24][25] (similar to the pharmaceutical Disulfiram) which is thought to reduce tolerance and create an aversion to alcohol from a build-up of acetaldehyde.[26] Reduced activity of the ALDH enzyme (Homozygote ALDH2*2) occurs to a greater degree in Asian populations and is known to increase the frequency of intolerance to alcohol consumption.[27][28]
It has been noted in a review[21] that the ALDH inhibitor Disulfiram has been linked to both alcohol aversion (as intended) and euphora from alcohol[29] and cocaine;[30] studies investigating the interactions of Pueraria flos and euphoria from alcohol are lacking.
The leaf extract of Kudzu appears to enhance acetaldehyde clearance from the body and possibly aid in the reduction of hangovers (in accordance with traditional claims) while the root extract may confer the opposite effects and increase insensitivity to alcohol by inhibiting the enzyme that degrades acetaldehyde
Salvia Miltiorrhiza (Danshen) appears to have been used alongside Pueraria Lobata (Gegen) for the purpose of cardiovascular health,[31] under the combination name of DG (Danshen-Gegen)[2] which is a 7:3 ratio of Danshen to Gegen dry weight.[32]
In activated macrophages, concentration-dependent antiinflammatory effects were noted on nitric oxide, iNOS and PGE2 (weak inhibition of COX2) while cytokine release was attenuated in a dose dependent manner on IL-6 and IL-1β, with the latter cytokine noting full suppression to levels below control at 1mg/mL; TNF-α was not highly affected, and these effects were thought to be due to NF-kB inhibition.[2] The anti-inflammatory effects of the herb combination, in regards to LPS-stimulated macrophages, is synergistic (combination index 0.75) as the IC50 value of either herb (1.01 and 1.10mg/mL) is less potent than that of the combination (IC50 0.50mg/mL).[31] The anti-artherogenic effects as assessed by foam cell formation was merely additive while the inhibitory effect of either herb on vascular smooth muscle cells (vSMCs) appeared to antagonize each other when in combination.[31]
The combination formula appears to have vasorelaxant properties mediated via potassium channel activation at a concentration of 1-7mg/mL (IC50 value of 895+/-121μg/mL), and coincubation with potassium channel inhibitors reduced the maximal relaxation by 20-37%.[32]
Appears to be synergistic in regards to reducing inflammation, and additive in regards to reducing artherogenic formation; both conclusions based on in vitro research currently
When these two herbs are combined with the rhizomes of Ligusticum chuanxiong, the resulting product is known as 'TongMai Keli' (not to be confused with Tongkat Ali).[5]
Pueraria labota and Angelicae Dahurica have traditionally been used as a herb-pair in Traditional Chinese Medicine for a variety of uses.[8]
When Puerarin is incubated with either Angelica dahurica basic extract (450μg/mL) or its volatile oils (0.72μl/mL) in vitro with intestinal cells, the absorption of Puerarin is increased 1.7-fold and 3.6-fold respectively; this suggests that Angelica dahurica can enhance the absorption of Puerarin from Pueraria Lobata.[8]
Angelica Dahurica may increase the absorption of Puerarin from Pueraria Lobata, and thus enhance bioactivities of any action in the body related to Puerarin

The firsts months are of adaptation, I didn't know if I was at home or not, there were nights when I woke up and I did not know where I was. With the arrival of Christmas I returned to Spain and being there I missed Pazardzhik, it was when I began to understand that Bulgaria was beginning to be my home and my colleagues passed to be my second family. At first, saying that you leave home for a year seems like a long time, but this one runs so fast that you do not realize, until one day, you get out of bed and have already lived about eleven months of the project, that day like today. Without a doubt it has been the best decision I have made in my life, I still remember when I discovered that it was Evs, I could not believe that a program existed as such and I unknowingly, (free for free), destiny had it saved for the best time of my life.A year of first times, the first time I shared an apartment with amazing partners who are part of my friends, first time I travel as much as, every month I went somewhere, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Hungry, Serbia…. first time I got to be myself (this took me a while), first time I had a conversation in English for more than two minutes (without dying in the attempt), the first time I shared laughter with people from five different countries, the first time that I started to understand jokes (this make me very happy , but is better if you don't try, trust me) the first time I tried Turkish cookies (I was traumatized by how delicious it is:)if someone want to make me happy present me Turkish biscuits haha) .... And I could continue writing many of my first times all day, but if not, I will not finish today, so I'll summarize my Evs based on the first times they have been unique and now they are part of me.
This year has helped me not only in the basics I had been looking for, but also in my professional experience and fluency in English. But it has helped me grow, mature and know myself and I love it and I will not change for anything or anyone. (I have changed so much that they even gave me a book! My mother is proud of my hahaha). There is a phrase that says "I know the kind of person you would like to know". Just do it, the rest does not matter, you cannot have a good relation with everybody. At this point, it is time to close this stage, full of hope, unique and unforgettable moments and wonderful people. I could never have imagined a better Evs, since not only have I experienced it, but I have felt it, now I have another family, my family of Evs

'The Green Dragon' reopens 2 weeks after fire
Community, vendors unite to put the market back together
The Green Dragon in Ephrata, Lancaster County is open again tonight just two weeks after fire destroyed about a dozen stands.
Watch Kim Lemon's report about the Green Dragon
Visit and LIKE Kim's Facebook page
It's a bittersweet day of celebration for some of the stand-holders and customers. It could not have been a more beautiful day for a new beginning.
The fire left stand-holders and friends of the market stunned. Today, the loyal customers who love it here were thrilled with what they saw.
"I'm amazed the fire didn't take more buildings," said Phil Walck. "It was located right in the center. The firemen must have did a wonderful job of containing it."
Some stand-holders, many without insurance, lost all they had. Now, the others - who consider themselves fortunate - are taking pause and donations to help their fellow merchants.
"Our building was spared so we started a fund with other vendors to raise money for those who were uninsured," said ray Atamavhe.
"You don't have to be blood to be vendors here. That's just how we are - we take care of each other," said Beverly Ayers.
For many, it's that spirit that makes spending time at the Green Dragon so special.
"It's just amazing that within a short time it can be up and running again," said Ellen Walck.

It has since become a means of opening up my research work to a wider public and encouraging comment, feedback, etc., from happenings and goings on in many different areas – academic, political, social, personal; in both deaf and mainstream societies.
Having trained (myself) as a typesetter and worked 8 years in the industry, I embarked on a life change to obtain my BA in Cultural Studies in 1992. The following 10 years were spent working at various occupations with different Deaf communities before taking up a PhD scholarship. I was officially awarded my PhD in February 2007, entitled: Citizenship and the Deaf Community. It was transformed into a book in 2011 and comes with a DVD in British Sign Language. It can be bought here from Ishara Press.
The full reference and ISBN number are as follows: Emery, S. D. (2011) Citizenship and the Deaf Community, Ishara Press: Nijmegen, The Netherlands. ISBN: 978-90-8656-008-0.
I am currently working with the MobileDeaf team at Heriot-Watt University on a research project on international deaf migration.
I was employed by Gallaudet University as a visiting professor for the Spring 2013 term. Prior to that, I was a Research Associate on the research project 'Genetics and Deafhood', at the University of Bristol, based at the Centre for Deaf Studies (now closed). That post began October 1st 2010 and I was previously on an Early Careers Fellowship, also at the University of Bristol University, from 2008-2010. Both posts were funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
I have some understanding of Irish Sign Language, American Sign Language and International Sign.
To find out more details about me, visit my profile at the Sussex Deaf History People webpage. I'm a lifelong Brighton and Hove Albion football fan. In 2011, I took to running and also resumed playing football, very proudly turning out for Bristol Deaf Football Club in the first half of the 2012-2013 season, and completed a marathon in 3:59 in 2014. Other passions include film (non-English language), community/alternative political issues, a wide variety of music (mainly ska/reggae and psytrance), and travelling.

The Boston Phoenix had a weird review of this restaurant two weeks ago. The two paragraphs waxed on and on about the great fried calamari, only to have the third paragraph begin with "Oddly, they've since dropped calamari from the menu." Gee, Robert Nadeau, that's really useful, thanks.
But the rest of the review was favorable enough that after a game of mini-golf (Ivan beat us all convincingly) I suggested checking out the Local for a bite. The bar area was packed with Red Sox fans watch the end of the game, but the dining area was open and we were seated right away.
I ordered the garlic roasted mushroom flatbread and really enjoyed it. It was a good size pizza with a thin, crispy, cracker crust and thick and meaty mushrooms. R and Betty both had lobster rolls and Ivan had the Kobe burger with bacon. Betty also had the fried pickles with spicy mayo. I extraneously ordered the truffled Parmesan fries, not realizing that the burger and the lobster rolls all came with fries.
I asked Ivan how the burger was and he replied, "It's good," I told him that wasn't a blog worthy comment. Betty took and bite of the burger and said, "it's really good." I told them I needed a more memorable comment like, "if I was a monkey, it would make me want to get up and dance," or something to that effect. He had no further comment.
R thought his lobster roll was "okay, but it's not Red's." I told him that was a meaningless comment because what is as good as Red's? Betty enjoyed the fried pickles, but felt that the serving size was too big and was sick of them by the end.
The service was friendly and attentive. I liked the food and the prices was quite reasonable. If it was closer to us, I could imagine going more often.

The rumors were dispelled over the internets as quickly as they spread, but we have to say it again: In-N-Out is not serving 25-cent burgers, 30-cent cheeseburgers, 15-cent fries, and 10-cent drinks today. When we called burger HQ to confirm said rumor, they told us they had no plans for the discounted menu and practically begged us to "set the record straight." We did, but we're still getting queried because people think it's all a big gimmick to 'surprise' them. Stop. The "rumor letter" found on the In-N-Out website says it all: "We've always tried to keep our prices as low as possible in order to give our customers the greatest value. One of the ways we do this is by not discounting and our anniversary is no exception."

There are so many stressful elements associated with moving. For example, all the work and time that go into it is enough to give you sleepless nights. Not to mention the cost of making the move happen, which is what this article will focus on. More specifically, it will provide some considerations to maul over before choosing between moving companies Richmond VA.
How Big Is The Move?
Firstly, you need to assess the potential size of the move. In other words, how many chairs, boxes, and fridges will be going to your new place? Moving companies Richmond VA will ask for this type of information in order to provide you with a quote.
So, before you start listing your belongings, de-clutter and get rid of things you simply don't need or use anymore. And by doing so, you could actually save some money.
How Far Do You Need To Go?
The distance you'll be moving is going to influence the cost significantly. Plus, not all moving companies in Richmond VA will take you across state lines. But the point is to establish the exact number of miles the truck needs to drive, and get quotes based on this information.
Do You Have Valuable Or Special Items?
If you have something of great value, and it needs to be handled with special care, ask the moving company whether they offer extra precaution.
What Type Of Services Do You Need?
Do you only need the moving company to load and transport your belongings? Or do you want them to help with the packing and cleaning? While not all moving companies in the Richmond VA area offer extra services you can make use of, there will be a few out there.
And don't forget, you want to know what everything is going to cost before the truck stops at your house.

Basic Materials Business Sector
We are committed to building a framework that will serve as a cornerstone business while supporting the Mitsui Chemicals Group as a whole. To this end, we will put in place a stable earnings foundation based on the competitive advantage our domestic facilities give us and our proven ability to capture Asian market share in value-added fields.
Business Vision
Basic Materials Mission
Over the past several years, the Basic Materials Business Sector has undertaken a major restructuring of its activities, including substantial cutbacks in production capacity.
Business Vision
Moreover, we are working diligently to improve the operational stability and profitability of ethylene, a basic raw material for petrochemical products. Specifically, we are expanding sales of EVOLUE™, a core product in our high-value-added polymer lineup.
Despite the cloud of uncertainty that continues to hover over petrochemicals supply and demand, we adhere strictly to a policy of rationalization, make every effort to add value to our derivatives lineup, and maintain our high utilization rate in line with the growing trend toward local production for local consumption. As a result, we are putting in place a stable earnings platform that is resilient to changes in the external environment, including shifts in market conditions and the balance between supply and demand.
Market Analysis and Strategic Issues
Opportunities & Risks
- Infusion of U.S. shale oil- and Chinese coal chemical-derived production
- Bulk and commodity product price volatility in Asia
- Influx of imported products and worsening export terms due to the strong yen
- Surging crude oil prices
- Shrinking domestic demand and slowing Chinese economic growth
- Shift in the market toward high-performance packaging
- Rising need for eco-friendly products
- Domestic production structure based naphtha cracker facilities located in two sites (one east, one west)
- Metallocene and other polyolefin catalytic technologies
- Robustly cost competitive polyurethane system business with a growing global facility network underpinned by the establishment of Mitsui Chemicals & SKC Polyurethanes Inc.
- An expanding lineup of unique, differentiated products
- Expanding value-added fields using polyolefin catalytic technologies
- Accelerating global expansion of new system houses by leveraging synergies with Mitsui Chemicals & SKC Polyurethanes Inc.

Mitsui Chemicals & SKC Polyurethanes
Fiscal 2017 Business Overview
Focusing on petrochemicals and basic chemicals, the Group maintained high-capacity operations at its naphtha crackers and other plants due to strong domestic demand while continuing to progress with business structure improvement. Sales of polyethylene and polypropylene remained firm, backed by domestic demand. As for phenols, overseas market conditions were stronger than the previous fiscal year, and efforts to promote structural business reforms are bearing fruit. The Group also worked to ensure greater competitiveness by cutting costs and expanding its lineup of differentiated products.
Increase/Decrease in Operating Income
¥38.9 billion (+¥0.4 billion year on year)
Volume ¥(0.2) billion
- Stable sales of each product
Terms of trade +¥1.9 billion
- Market price, etc.
Costs ¥(1.3) billion
- Scale difference of regular maintenance, etc.
Sales by Product
Sales by Region
Trends in Net Sales and Operating Income
Fiscal 2025 Target
Operating income:¥30.0 billion
The impact of the expansion of facilities for polyethylene and other production derived from shale gas and Chinese coal chemicals is expected to be felt in Asia from mid-2018. Nevertheless, we will look to build a Basic Materials business that has a strong presence in the Asian market by reinforcing our cost competitiveness and shifting to high-value-added products.
Growth Strategies
- We aim to further increase earnings by expanding our lineup of highly profitable differentiated products and derivatives.
- We plan to further enhance our competitiveness by establishing a local production for local consumption system and an optimal production system for bulk and commodity products.
Investment Strategy
- We will actively pursue capital investment aimed at further enhancing our competitiveness.
Fiscal 2018 Plan
In petrochemicals, operating rates are expected to remain at high levels for naphtha cracker and derivatives facilities on the back of firm domestic demand. With regard to our overseas bases, sales of EVOLUE™ have been sound since the start of commercial operations at a facility in Singapore in fiscal 2016. Looking ahead, operating rates are anticipated to increase.
In the basic chemicals and polyurethanes, we expect to post stable earnings. This largely reflects successful efforts to put in place an optimal production system and a structure that is resilient to changes in market conditions.
TOPICS - The Tireless Efforts at Our Works
Responding to concerns about the import of U.S. shale-derived petrochemical products and other developments in the petrochemicals market, Mitsui Chemicals worked hard to reinforce the earnings base of its naphtha crackers by drafting and executing profit enhancement measures focused mainly on supply chain revisions and strategies for leveraging opportunities and corporate strengths. In addition, we achieved stable operations, cost reductions, and technological innovation of our works.
1. Operating naphtha crackers at full capacity
Our capacity utilization rates exceed the national average and significantly contribute to our stable earnings.
2. Dramatically reducing costs and CO2 emissions
We realized steep cost reductions through our diligent rationalization efforts.
3. Using revolutionary energy-saving technologies
We possess the world's most advanced energy-saving technologies.
We were included in the first round of the Top Ten Energy Efficiency Best Practices List compiled by the International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC). The case was titled, "Large-scale Energy Conservation at the Ethylene Plant by using LNG Cold Energy."

I took my first STEP class 20 years ago when my son was 3 years old. I figured that I needed help when I was arguing with him over whether the garage door should be up or down, and it was an argument that he was winning!! He had always been a handful even as an infant. He spent the first 3 months of his life screaming and projectile vomiting. Of course that was because he had a hard time with his formula but I took it personally.
I threatened, I cajoled, I tried to break that defiant spirit numerous times but it didn't work and I was worried. What would happen in 10 years if we continue yelling and screaming at each other? Where would he go to find love and acceptance if he wasn't finding it at home? What would he use to find comfort? I had lived through addiction in my family and wasn't going to watch it happen again, especially to my kids.
So I hesitantly took a parenting class. I say hesitantly because I was skeptical and didn't want anyone to tell me how to raise my kid. It wasn't a magic wand, it didn't work overnight; but one morning I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. His usual routine when he would wake up and find his dad had gone to work was to question where he was and then throw a fit when I told him he had gone to work. That usually sent him into a tailspin and I would end up telling him to knock it off. I would explain that his dad would be home later and he could see him all he wanted but that just made it worse.
So one day I decided to try this new STEP skill, reflective listening, that we learned in class! It's a skill where you listen and reflect feelings which, in turn, helps the person who is talking to you feel validated. I couldn't wait to try it and then tell my parenting facilitator that it didn't work. I thought it sounded crazy and wouldn't produce any results. So, that morning, Luke comes into the room, asks where his dad is at, and I tell him. He says, "But I wanted to kiss him goodbye and now he's gone." Ok I thought this is it...."Luke", I said, "it sounds like your sad because Dad is gone and you miss him." First, he just stood there and looked at me like I had lobsters coming out of my ears; then he said, "yeah, I am." and walked away!!! You mean that's it, that's all he wanted, I could have been getting better sleep a long time ago had I known this 3 years ago.
Since then I've obviously become a disciple. I've been doing this for 20 years and it's the best $30 investment I could have made in myself and my children. I now use this skill with everyone from my adult children to the cashier at Meijer who is having a bad day. And, knock on wood, my children are now 20 and 23 and not using drugs. I believe with all my heart that it's because of the skills I learned in my first STEP class.
Well, I also think it's that defiant spirit that I hated so much when he was 3. I asked him once when he was 18 why he hadn't fallen into the trap of drugs that were so readily available to him and his friends. "Well", he said, "my friends know that I won't do it and if I have to tell someone more than once, I'm done with them."
So, I can't tell him what to do but apparently no one else can either!

You can view upcoming classes, get more information, and register online at http://www.careofsem.com/workshops.php or call CARE at 586-541-0033.
I also co-host a parenting chat at http://www.macombdaily.com/ with the Health and Lifestyle Writer, Maryanne Kocis-MacLeod, on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month at 11:30-12:30 pm.

Scientists from global biopharmaceutical company MSD will come to the Crick next year to tackle a range of conditions associated with ageing such as dementia and Parkinson's disease.
A new team of around 15 MSD chemists and pharmacologists will be based at the Crick over the next five years, working to develop new understandings of diseases that affect the UK's ageing population.
The scientists will be based at the Crick while MSD establishes their new discovery science centre and UK headquarters in London, the location of which is being finalised. Their work will complement the MSD neuroscience cell biology team already established at the London Bioscience Innovation Centre, and both teams will eventually move to MSD's new centre.
Although the MSD research projects will be independent from Crick research, the mix of fundamental researchers and drug discovery scientists will benefit both MSD and Crick scientists. The MSD team will be fully integrated into the Crick scientific community, and will be invited to attend and deliver lectures to discuss the latest methods and discoveries.
Richard Treisman, Director of Research at the Crick, said: "We look forward to welcoming our new MSD colleagues to the Crick. Their specialist expertise in both fundamental research and drug discovery science, coupled with their industry perspective, will open new horizons for Crick scientists and vice versa."
Fiona Marshall, Vice President and Head of Discovery Science at MSD UK said: "This is an exciting opportunity for our team who will be based in the Francis Crick Institute. We are at one of the most challenging yet exciting times in which innovative science and R&D may one day delay or even halt the onset of neurodegenerative diseases. The Crick is a world leading centre for discovery science in the UK and the co-location places us in excellent proximity to initiate broad ranging research interactions with Crick scientists in basic biology of mutual interest through to translational research to help us continue to build on our proud legacy of invention."

The role of the clinical laboratory in the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis is in its infancy. In order for clinical laboratory scientists to more fully explore and develop roles in the area, it is necessary to keep up with the many advances that have occurred during the past few years in terms of basic bone biology and the pathogenesis of osteoporosis. This book is written for clinical laboratory scientists, pathologists, medical technologists, residents and fellows who need an updated foundation in the basic mechanisms involved in bone biology and in the pathological processes involved in osteoporosis. Additional chapters review clinical tools used to evaluate bone health, including biopsy, imaging methods and biochemical markers, as well as the pharmacological agents used to treat the disease.

Job 32
American Standard Version
Elihu Rebukes Job's Three Friends
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.
And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.
I said, Days should speak, And multitude of years should teach wisdom.
But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.
Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.
Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.
Beware lest ye say, We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him, not man:
For he hath not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.
They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.
And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?
I also will answer my part, I also will show mine opinion.
For I am full of words; The spirit within me constraineth me.
Behold, my breast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine-skins it is ready to burst.
I will speak, that I may be refreshed; I will open my lips and answer.
Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.
For I know not to give flattering titles; Else would my Maker soon take me away.

On Storage….(part one)
It doesn't matter how big your house is, storage is always an issue.
I'm less of a minimalist, and more of an 'I want to keep it all, but have it tidied away' kind of person. Mess makes me twitch, but I don't like to throw things out – I mean, what if one day I have a sudden urge to see what my phone bill came to in June of 2005??!! (Ok, I'm not quite that bad, but I do keep lots of things) I'm a fan of the quirky and unexpected, so if you go snooping around my house you'll find a few surprises and I thought I'd share a couple with you.
We'll start with my office – it's where a few of my favourite things are (and yes, I'm trying desperately not to burst into a Julie Andrews song. And failing.) My office started out as a (very small) spare room. My super clever husband and his father built me this fantastic storage unit. Not only is it the perfect size for both the room and my stock, every time I look at it I'm reminded about how lucky I am to have such a supportive family. And to me, that's what design is about – surrounding yourself with things that, no matter how 'everyday' they are, strike a chord and resonate with you on some level.
Taking this into consideration, I try to have things that mean something to me around me. My work desk was filling up with pens. I rescued this old camera case and voila….desk storage!
I love to wrap all the purchases from dorothy nada before sending them out, and my wrapping desk (another bespoke build courtesy of husband and father-in-law) was rapidly becoming over-run with wrapping paper, gift tags, scissors and cellotape. Another rescue – this vintage suitcase found its way home with me and gets constant comments.
Moving out of the office now, and into the living room. I'm a complete sloth and one of my favourite things to do is snuggle up on the couch under a blanket reading or watching TV – the down side of this is abandoned blankets discarded over the arms of the sofa which makes me feel slightly unhinged. Clearly I needed a blanket storage idea, but it took me forever to stumble across one in our local second hand shop – an old ammo box. With our family's involvement in the military, it's a nice little nod to our 'culture' while keeping all the blankets out of the way.
Storage isn't all about shelving units and wicker baskets (although they definitely have their place). You can have interesting and useful storage, and it doesn't have to be expensive!
What are your storage solutions?

The 12th Solanaceae Conference (SOL2015)
The 12th Solanaceae Conference (SOL2015) will take place in Bordeaux, France, from 25 to 29 October 2015.
The event will continue on from previous SOL Conferences and address the latest scientific research on the Solanaceae, ranging from biodiversity, genetics and plant development to breeding.
SOL is the International Solanaceae Conference convened annually since 2004. Solanaceae or nightshades display large diversity and include more than 3000 plant species, among which major crop species such as tomato, potato, eggplant and pepper.
The objective of SOL2015 is to bring together members of the Solanaceae scientific community who contribute to the recent and considerable advances in Solanaceae genomics and use this knowledge to further our fundamental understanding of plant biology and to breed superior crop varieties well adapted to their environment.
