| Abstract | The aim of our study was to determine whether the immunohistochemical expression of placental vitamin D receptors is altered in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia. Vitamin D receptor expression was immunohistochemically analysed in the placentas of three groups: a control group, and early- and late-onset preeclampsia groups. Total immunohistochemical intensity staining of placentas showed that the control group had a median vitamin D receptor (VDR) expression significantly higher than the placentas of mothers with early- and late-onset preeclampsia. There was no difference among the three groups in a semiquantitative analysis of VDR staining of the stroma only. Vitamin D receptors showed lower median expression in preeclampsia-affected pregnancies, especially early-onset preeclampsia. Therefore, Vitamin D receptor expression may be an important marker for normal placentation and preeclampsia onset. |

| Abstract | This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of force-controlled pelvic stress radiographs in the evaluation and treatment of fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP) using a functional treatment strategy. We conducted a retrospective study of 55 geriatric patients with FFP who underwent pelvic stress radiographs on admission. The differences in the sacral width, pelvic ring width, and medial femoral head width between the radiographs with and without the Sam Sling II M size were defined as Δ sacral width, Δ pelvic ring width, and Δ medial femoral head width, respectively. We used Pearson’s correlation test to assess the relationship between the degree of radiographic instability and the Johns Hopkins highest level of mobility scale (JH-HLM) at 10-days postadmission. Conventional receiver-operating-characteristic curve analysis was used to identify cases requiring surgery using the best cutoff value for radiographic instability. The JH-HLM was significantly correlated with Δ sacral width (r=−0.401, p=0.017), but not with Δ pelvic ring width (r=−0.298, p=0.080) nor with Δ medial femoral head width (r= −0.261, p=0.128). The best cutoff value of Δ sacral width in identifying surgical cases was 10.7 mm (sensitivity 75.0%, specificity 98.0%). Force-controlled pelvic stress radiographs could be helpful in assessing the need for surgery on admission. |

| Abstract | We investigated the relationship between serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels and psychopathological symptoms, clinical and socio-demographic characteristics and antipsychotic therapy in individuals with schizophrenia. TNF-α levels were measured in 90 patients with schizophrenia and 90 healthy controls matched by age, gender, smoking status, and body mass index. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to assess the severity of psychopathology in patients. No significant differences in TNF-α levels were detected between the patients and controls (p=0.736). TNF-α levels were not correlated with total, positive, negative, general, or composite PANSS scores (all p>0.05). A significant negative correlation was observed between TNF-α levels and the PANSS cognitive factor (ρ=−0.222, p=0.035). A hierarchical regression analysis identified the cognitive factor as a significant predictor of the TNF-α level (beta=−0.258, t=−2.257, p=0.027). There were no significant differences in TNF-α levels among patients treated with different types of antipsychotics (p=0.596). TNF-α levels correlated positively with the age of onset (ρ=0.233, p=0.027) and negatively with illness duration (ρ=−0.247, p=0.019) and antipsychotic treatment duration (ρ=−0.256, p=0.015). These results indicate that TNF-α may be involved in cognitive impairment in schizophrenia, and would be a potential clinical-state marker in schizophrenia. |

| Abstract | No epidemiological studies have examined the health effects of daily bathing in radon hot springs. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the associations between radon hot spring bathing and health conditions. The target population was 5,250 adults ≥ 20 years old in the town of Misasa, Japan. We collected information about the participants’ bathing habits and alleviation of a variety of disease symptoms, and their self-rated health (SRH). Unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. In both the adjusted and unadjusted models of hypertension, significant associations between the > 1×/week hot spring bathing and the alleviation of hypertension symptoms were observed compared to the group whose hot spring bathing was <1×/week: adjusted model, OR 5.40 (95%CI: 1.98-14.74); unadjusted model, 3.67 (1.50-8.99) and for gastroenteritis: adjusted model, 9.18 (1.15-72.96); unadjusted model, 7.62 (1.59-36.49). Compared to the no-bathing group, higher SRH was significantly associated with both bathing < 1×/week: unadjusted model, 2.27 (1.53-3.37) and > 1×/week: adjusted model, 1.91 (1.15-3.19). These findings suggest that bathing in radon hot springs is associated with higher SRH and the alleviation of hypertension and gastroenteritis. |

| Abstract | Liver fibrosis is an important phenomenon in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression. Standard markers reflecting liver fibrosis, including the FIB-4 index, increase with age. This study aimed to identify fibrosis progression-related markers that are diagnostically beneficial even in aged individuals. Serum levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were measured by multiple enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Two standard NAFLD or fibrosis progression-related markers — the FIB-4 index and APRI score — were analyzed along with cytokine levels to define the best approach to discriminate advanced fibrosis. Ninety-eight NAFLD patients were enrolled: 59 and 39 patients with fibrosis stages 1-2 and 3-4 respectively. In addition to the FIB-4 index and APRI score, the following factors showed significant differences between stages 1-2 and stages 3-4 in a multivariate analysis: platelet counts, IP-10, and RANTES. The fibrosis stage, FIB-4, APRI, PDGF-BB, and RANTES were related to the prognosis. In aged patients, IP-10, GM-CSF, and RANTES differed between stages 1-2 and stages 3-4. FIB-4 and APRI were beneficial for their correlation with fibrosis. However, to stratify either young or elderly advanced fibrosis patients, and to identify patients likely to have a bad outcome, RANTES was the best marker. |

| Abstract | The feasibility of lymphocyte isolation and flow cytometry using a single endoscopic biopsy specimen from the gastrointestinal tract of patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has not been investigated. We acquired 51 endoscopic biopsy specimens from the gastrointestinal tract of 35 patients. We divided the flow cytometry samples into two groups: group A, successful lymphocyte isolation (n=24), and group B, incomplete isolation (n=27). We compared the backgrounds of the samples between the groups to reveal crucial elements in the successful isolation of lymphocytes residing in the gastrointestinal tract. Comparison between the groups revealed lymphocyte isolation success rates differed between biopsy sites. Isolation was most successful in samples from the duodenum (8/9, 88.9%), followed by the ileum (4/8, 50.0%), large intestine (4/11, 36.4%), and stomach (8/23, 34.8%). Tacrolimus was used more frequently in group B (92.6%) than in group A (62.5%) (p=0.015). Logistic regression analysis revealed that isolation from the duodenum or ileum was a significant factor for successful isolation, while tacrolimus use was not statistically significant. In conclusion, the duodenum and ileum are more suitable sites than the stomach and colorectum for acquiring samples for flow cytometry. |

| Abstract | An 85-year-old woman presented with aphasia due to an occupying lesion in the left frontal lobe near the language area. Complete resection of the contrast-enhancing lesion was performed under awake conditions. The pathological diagnosis was anaplastic astrocytoma, and postoperative radiochemotherapy was administered. Awake surgery is a useful technique to reduce postoperative neurological sequelae and to maximize surgical resection. Although the patient was elderly, which is generally considered high risk, she did not have any severe neurological deficits and had a good outcome. Even in the extreme elderly, awake surgery can be useful for gliomas in language cortices. |

| Abstract | Masaoka stage I type A thymomas rarely recur. We report the case of an 82-year-old man who developed endobronchial metastasis after thymothymectomy for Masaoka stage I type A thymoma. Twenty years after surgery, the patient developed bloody sputum, and chest computed tomography revealed a neoplasm obstructing the right upper lobe bronchus of the lung with enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes. He underwent right upper lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection. Although preoperative pathological diagnosis was squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, postoperative histopathology revealed endobronchial metastasis of the thymoma. Nine years later, at age 89, the patient is alive and well. |

| Abstract | Japan’s hip fracture management guidelines now recommend the use of cemented stems in cases of bone fragility. However, the current stem selection practices in bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) in a super-aging area in Japan remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the stem selection policies, the surgeons’ concerns about cemented stems, and factors affecting their confidence in their ability to coach others on cemented stem procedures. Ninety-four orthopedic surgeons (27 facilities) responded to our web-based questionnaire conducted in January/February 2022. Cementless stem was the first choice of 97.8% of the surgeons; <15% of the respondents expected to increase their use of cemented stems in the future. The cement technique was the greatest concern; almost half of the surgeons described having insufficient experience with cemented stems. The factor that most affected the surgeons’ expertise in using cemented stems is the number of surgeries they had conducted with a cemented stem (multivariable analysis odds ratio 8.42, p=0.001). Greater experience was associated with increased expertise of the surgeons in using cemented stems, with a threshold of 11 cases showing sensitivity of 41.7% and specificity of 98.3% for their confidence to instruct cemented stems. |

| Abstract | The Paleogene to Neogene successions which are composed of the Paleogene Kayo Formation, the late Oligocene to earliest Miocene Yagane Formation and the middle Miocene Ukan Formation are sporadically distributed in the Kibi Plateau region, surrounding area of Kibichuou Town, Okayama Prefecture, Southwest Japan. The gravel of the Kayo Formation occupied paleo-valley of Pre-Paleogene basement. The Yagane and Ukan formations unconformably overlay Pre-Paleogene rocks and occupy the gentle valley on the Kibi Surface as valley fill deposits. The fluvial of the Kayo Formation is mainly composed of conglomerate with minor amount of sandstone and mudstone. The fluvial Yagane Formation is mainly composed of conglomerate and associated with sandstone, mudstone and coal beds. The marine Ukan Formation is subdivided into 3 members, the Yamagata Muddy sandstone Member (YMM), the Shimoyokomi Sandstone Member (SSM) and the Tsuneyama Mudstone Member (TMM) in ascending order. The YMM is characterized by the bio-disturbed very poorly sorted muddy sandstone with frequent burrows, which indicate tidal flat deposits. The SSM is mainly composed of parallel bedded well-sorted sandstone with occasional burrows, which suggest near shore deposits. The TMM is composed of homogeneous clay rich mudstone, which implies off shore deposits. The boundary between the SSM and TMM (the contact of the sandstone and mudstone) is distinctive and correlative throughout the study area. The boundary is considered to be formed under similar water depth. The variations of the boundary height indicate a later ground movement. From the north to the south in about 25km distance, the height of the boundary changes 260m (in Ukan), 300m (in Takeshou), 360m (in Kibikogentoshi) and 260m (in Nichiouji). It indicates that a very gentle upwarping of the Kibi Plateau Surface was formed after the deposition of the Miocene. |
