| Research Abstract |
Medical filed-researches were carried out in Himalaya for studying the acclimatization mechanisms to extreme hypoxia. The projects of the year are listed as follows. 1) From April to June, the expedition party succeeded to reach to the top of Mt. MuztagAta (7546m) and carried out the survey of physiological and immunological examination in addition to getting the blood samples from the members. 2) From August to September, a party sent to Nepal for the epidemiological study. 3) Throughout a year, epidemiological studies were done in Tibet area. 4) The after effects of climbing was checked in a decompression chamber in Nagoya Univ.
