| Abstract | We have the best constants of three kinds of discrete Sobolev inequalities on the complete bipartite graph with 2N vertices, that is, KN,N. We introduce a discrete Laplacian A on KN,N. A is a 2N ×2N real symmetric positive-semidefinite matrix whose eigenvector corresponding to zero eigenvalue is 1 = t(1, 1, … , 1)∈ C2N. A discrete heat kernel, a Green’s matrix and a pseudo Green’s matrix play important roles in giving the best constants. |

| Abstract | Let G be a finite group. In 1970s, T. Petrie defined the Smith equivalence of real G-modules. The Smith set of G is the subset of the real representation ring consisting of elements obtained as differences of Smith equivalent real G-modules. Various results of the topic have been obtained. The d-Smith set of G is the set of all elements [V ]−[W] in the Smith set of G such that the H-fixed point sets of V and W have the same dimension for all subgroups H of G. The results of the Smith sets of the alternating groups and the symmetric groups are obtained by E. Laitinen, K. Pawa lowski and R. Solomon. In this paper, we give the calculation results of the d-Smith sets of the alternating groups and the symmetric groups. In addition, we give the calculation results of the d-Smith sets of Cartesian products of the alternating groups and finite elementary abelian 2-groups. |

| Abstract | In the present paper, we consider torsion points on ample divisors on abelian varieties. We prove that, for each integer n ≤ 2, an effective divisor of level n on an abelian variety does not contain the subgroup of n-torsion points. Moreover, we also discuss an application of this result to the study of the p-rank of cyclic coverings of curves in positive characteristic. |

| Abstract | The aim of this report is to introduce an on-going, multicenter, randomized controlled trial to evaluate whether tailored antimicrobial prophylaxis guided by rectal culture screening prevents acute bacterial prostatitis following transrectal prostate biopsy (TRPB). Patients will be randomized into an intervention or non-intervention group; tazobactam-piperacillin or levofloxacin will be prophylactically administered according to the results of rectal culture prior to TRPB in the intervention group whereas levofloxacin will be routinely given in the non-intervention group. The primary endpoint is the occurrence rate of acute bacterial prostatitis after TRPB. Recruitment begins in April, 2021 and the target total sample size is 5,100 participants. |

| Abstract | A 77-year-old woman with no history of malignancy presented with anorexia and bilateral lower extremity weakness. Her consciousness level worsened daily, so we performed a lumbar puncture. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis indicated meningitis, but three rounds of CSF cytology showed no malignant cells. The patient’s carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level was highly elevated in CSF, but normal in serum. Through gadolinium-enhanced brain/spinal magnetic resonance imaging and gastrointestinal endoscopy, she was diagnosed with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LC) from gastric cancer. CEA level in CSF facilitated the diagnosis of LC from gastric cancer because there were no malignant cells on CSF cytology. |

| Abstract | We present an extremely rare case of deep angiomyxoma (DAM) in the thigh that was misdiagnosed as desmoid-type fibromatosis. A 40-year-old Japanese woman presented with a mass on the left thigh. The histological diagnosis by needle biopsy was desmoid-type fibromatosis; the tumor grew slowly and was resected 4 years later. The histological diagnosis from the resected tumor was DAM. As of 16 months post-surgery, the patient has not noticed any local recurrence. Although DAM in a lower extremity is extremely rare, clinicians must be aware of its possible occurrence in areas relatively close to the pelvis. |

| Abstract | Sacral schwannoma is a rare tumor with relatively few symptoms; it thus tends to be large at diagnosis and is challenging to treat surgically. We present the case of a 12-year-old girl with a large sacral schwannoma that was successfully surgically resected using O-arm navigation in a two-stage operation. First, we performed tumor resection from the posterior aspect with assisted O-arm navigation. One week later, resection from the anterior aspect was conducted with posterior spinopelvic fixation and fibula graft. We performed partial resection of the tumor from the anterior and posterior aspects as much as possible. O-arm navigation contributed to precise and safe tumor resection and implant insertion. |

| Abstract | This case report highlights the importance of using a dental operating microscope (DOM) and ultrasonic endodontic tips (UETs) to locate all root canals in the lower first premolar. A 53-year-old woman presented to our clinic with pain in the lower right first premolar. After a detailed search using a DOM and UETs, three root canals were found, prepared with rotary HyFlex endodontic files, and obturated using the lateral condensation technique. At the five-year follow-up after treatment, the tooth was completely restored and fulfilling its function, with no signs or symptoms of any post-treatment flare-up. |

| Abstract | Among studies evaluating minimally invasive surgical (MIS) decompression of the L5 root, techniques involving transtubular endoscopic decompression under O-arm navigation are rare. We present the case of a 68-yearold woman with left leg pain, muscle weakness and gait disturbance of one month duration. The patient underwent transtubular endoscopic decompression under O-arm navigation. There is no radiation hazard to the operating room staff with this procedure. After surgery, the patient had significant pain relief and her left lower limb motor function had improved by follow-up at one year. C-arm-free endoscopic L5 root decompression is a safe and effective procedure. |

| Abstract | Anorexia nervosa (AN) is occasionally complicated with hypoglycemic coma, which may cause sudden death by unknown mechanisms. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman with recurrent comas and a nineteen-year history of AN. She was found in a coma with remarkable hypoglycemia (28 mg/dL). Her BMI was 11.1 kg/m2. Endocrine workup revealed extremely low serum levels of glucagon, IGF-I and insulin. Asymptomatic hypoglycemia occurred with liver injury in the refeeding process. An aberrant glucose metabolism due to liver damage might have been involved in her susceptibility to hypoglycemia. This case suggests a possible mechanism of hypoglycemic coma in AN. |

| Abstract | A 77-year-old Japanese woman who had been treated for follicular lymphoma for 8 years developed abdominal pain and intra-abdominal lymphadenopathies. Colonoscopy revealed an elevated lesion in the rectum, which presented as two humps with erosions. A diagnosis of histologic transformation of follicular lymphoma to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma was made by endoscopic biopsy. This case underscores the importance of endoscopy examinations and biopsy of newly emerged gastrointestinal lesions for the prompt diagnosis of histologic transformation, since salvage chemotherapy must be initiated quickly in such cases. |

| Abstract | Family members are critical mediators of the experiences of transgender people. We studied whether transgen-der subjects had disclosed their identity to their families and their families’ reactions after the disclosure. We also evaluated the subjects’ mental state and its association with disclosure status. Transgender people were recruited for this anonymous questionnaire survey in the Okayama University Hospital gender clinic. Subjects disclosed their identity to family members at the following rates: 68.7% to the father, 89.1% to the mother, 59.1% to a brother, 77.8% to a sister, and 47.6% to grandparents. Fathers had the lowest rate (26.7%) of posi-tive reactions, while over 50% of fathers showed an ambiguous response. Approximately 20% of parents showed a negative response. The majority of parents agreed to hormonal treatment and sex-reassignment sur-gery and that the transgender child should live with the gender they wanted to express. However, the rate of subjects with mood and anxiety disorders according to the Kessler 6 scale was significantly higher in those who experienced negative or ambiguous reactions from family members compared to those who experienced posi-tive reactions. Educational and mental health professionals should support the disclosure process of transgen-der people as well as their family members. |

| Abstract | Research suggests that the fundamental concepts of epidemiology cannot be sufficiently learned in traditional lectures, and interactive learning is necessary. However, few studies have investigated interactive epidemiology education in general, or peer instruction (PI) in particular. This study investigated the effect of PI. Study par-ticipants were fourth-year medical students. The attitude of participants in regard to PI learning was examined in a non-PI and a PI group. The Survey of Attitudes Toward Statistics (SATS) (containing six sub-categories) was conducted as a learning-attitudes index. The pre- and post-lecture scores were compared between the non-PI and PI groups using double robust (DR) estimation. The non-PI and PI groups consisted of 20 and 121 student participants, respectively. In DR estimation, affect exhibited the lowest SATS score changes, at −0.51 (95% confidence interval −0.78 to −0.24; p-value < 0.001), whereas effort exhibited the highest score changes of 0.01 (95% confidence interval −0.30 to 0.32; p-value = 0.952). The epidemiology lecture with PI did not increase the SATS scores. This might be due to issues related to the experimental design. Further research investigating the effects of interactive epidemiology education, it will be necessary to develop tools for assessing the learning of epidemiological concepts and to improve the research design. |
