kn-abstract=Background Pediatric patients with eating disorders in a multicenter joint study on 11 facilities were enrolled and prospectively investigated to determine whether improvement in body weight, eating attitudes, and psychosocial factors in children with eating disorders would also improve depressive symptoms.<br>
Methods In this study, 91 patients were enrolled between April 2014 and March 2016. The severity of underweight was assessed using the body mass index-standard deviation score (BMI-SDS), eating behavior was assessed using the children's eating attitude test (ChEAT26), the outcome of childhood eating disorders was assessed using the childhood eating disorder outcome scale, and depressive symptoms were assessed using the Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) score.<br>
Results After 12 months of treatment, depressive symptoms were evaluated in 62 of the 91 cases where it was evaluated at the initial phase. There was no difference in background characteristics between the included patients and the 29 patients who dropped out. A paired-sample t-test revealed a significant decrease in CDI scores after 12 months of treatment (p?<?0.001, 95% CI: 2.401?7.373) and a significant increase in the BMI-SDS (p?<?0.001, 95% CI:???2.41973?1.45321). Multiple regression analysis revealed that BMI-SDS and ChEAT26 scores at the initial phase were beneficial in CDI recovery. In addition, BMI-SDS at the initial phase was useful for predicting BMI-SDS recovery after 12 months of treatment.<br>
Conclusions Depressive symptoms in children with eating disorders improved with therapeutic intervention on body weight and eating attitudes.<br>
Trial registration The Clinical Trial Number for this study is UMIN000055004.

kn-title=Protective Effects of the Ethyl Acetate Fraction of Distylium racemosum Against Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), previously referred to as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which is a progressive non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, is accompanied by hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. Despite its increasing prevalence, available treatment options for MASH are limited. Here, we investigated the protective effects of the Distylium racemosum ethyl acetate fraction (DRE) using MASH models and explored its key physiologically active components. Palmitic acid (PA)-induced AML12 hepatocytes and high-fat methionine- and choline-deficient-fed C57BL/6 mice were used as MASH models. Lipid accumulation was evaluated via triglyceride measurement, oil red O staining, and histological analysis. Lipid accumulation, inflammation, and fibrosis-associated gene expression were evaluated via real-time polymerase chain reaction. The physiologically active components of DRE were identified via high-performance liquid chromatography. Lipid accumulation and triglyceride levels were significantly reduced in PA-treated AML12 cells following DRE treatment. Additionally, DRE inhibited the expression of genes involved in lipogenesis (FAS and SREBP1c), inflammation (CD68, IL-6, and MCP-1), and fibrosis (COL1A1, COL1A2, and TIMP1). DRE reduced the liver weight, liver-to-body weight ratio, and hepatic steatosis in MASH model mice. It increased carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 levels and decreased CD36 and transforming growth factor-β levels in the MASH mouse liver. High-performance liquid chromatography revealed that the extract contained rutin flavonoid family members. Overall, DRE was involved in lipid metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis regulation, exerting potent hepatoprotective effects partly attributed to rutin and serving as a potential preventive candidate for MASH.

kn-title=Eosinophils as a predictive marker of treatment-related adverse events in mRCC patients treated with first-line immune-checkpoint inhibitor combination therapy
en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are a key component of first-line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). However, predicting treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) remains challenging. This study investigated the utility of eosinophil-related biomarkers as predictors of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade???3 TRAEs in mRCC patients undergoing ICI combination therapy. In this retrospective analysis across 21 hospitals in Japan, we examined 180 patients treated with ICI/ICI therapy and 216 patients treated with ICI/tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. Grade???3 TRAEs occurred in 39.4% and 31.9% of patients in the ICI/ICI and ICI/TKI groups, respectively. An elevated eosinophil proportion of???2.0% (odds ratio [OR]: 2.36; 95% CI [confidence interval] 1.23?4.54, p?=?0.01) and a low neutrophil/eosinophil ratio (NER) of???40.0 (OR: 2.78, 95% CI 1.39?5.53, p?=?0.004) were significant predictors of severe TRAEs in the ICI/ICI group. However, no significant associations were found in the ICI/TKI group. These findings may help identify patients who suffer from grade???3 TRAEs and help determine individualized treatment strategies in patients with mRCC.

kn-title=Impact of concomitant medications on the oncologic efficacy of systemic therapy in patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis
en-subtitle=

kn-abstract=Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and chemotherapy, including antibody-drug conjugates, are widely used for the treatment of patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (UC). The majority of elderly patients receive concomitant medications to address various comorbidities. We aimed to evaluate the impact of concomitant medications on oncological outcomes in patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic UC treated with systemic therapy.<br>
Material & methods: In August 2024, three datasets were queried for studies evaluating concomitant medications in patients with advanced unresectable or metastatic UC. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024547335). The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). A fixed- or random-effects model was used for meta-analysis depending on the heterogeneity.<br>
Results: We identified 16 eligible studies (3 prospective and 13 retrospective) comprising 4,816 patients. Most reported concomitant medications included proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), antibiotics, steroids, and opioids. The use of concomitant PPIs, antibiotics, steroids or opioids during ICI therapy was associated with worsened OS (PPIs: HR: 1.43, 95% CI: 1.31?1.57, p?<?0.001; antibiotics: HR: 1.2, 95% CI: 1.04?1.38, p?=?0.01; steroids: HR: 1.45, 95% CI: 1.25?1.67, p?<?0.001; and opioids: HR: 1.74, 95% CI: 1.46?2.07, p?<?0.001). Concomitant use of antibiotics during chemotherapy did not impact OS (HR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.67?1.51).<br>
Conclusions: When treating advanced unresectable or metastatic UC with ICI therapy, we need to pay attention to concomitant medications, such as PPIs and antibiotics to avoid reducing the efficacy of ICI therapy. The mechanism of action of these drugs on ICI efficacy requires further examination.

kn-title=Acute effect of multipoint pacing and fused AV delay in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established treatment for patients with heart failure with dyssynchrony. However, one-third of patients do not respond positively to it. Recently, multipoint pacing (MPP), which involves pacing from two sites on the left ventricle, has been found to improve symptoms and hemodynamics compared to conventional CRT. An automatic fused atrioventricular (AV) delay that performs fused pacing for intrinsic conduction has also been introduced. However, the combined effect of MPP and fused AV delay on acute hemodynamics is unknown.<br>
Objective: To evaluate the acute hemodynamic effects of MPP and fused AV delay in patients undergoing CRT.<br>
Methods: A pressure wire was delivered to the left ventricle, and dp/dt was compared with single atrial stimulation pacing in 52 patients with various pacing configurations.<br>
Results: Delta dp/dt was greater in MPP than in conventional CRT (10.5?±?1.0% vs. 8.2?±?1.0%, p?<?0.001) and in fused AV delay than in short AV delay (10.4?±?0.8% vs. 8.3?±?1.1, p?<?0.001). Hemodynamic parameters significantly most improved with the combination of MPP and fused AV delay. Delta dp/dt was greater in LV pacing than in biventricular (BiV) pacing with MPP and fused AV delay; however, the delta QRS duration was shorter in LV pacing than in BiV pacing. Delta dp/dt and delta QRS duration were negatively correlated. The super-responder rate was 66%.<br>
Conclusion: Combining MPP and fused AV delay has an additional effect. Shortening the QRS duration can increase the dp/dt, but the estimated line differs between LV and BiV pacing.

kn-title=Evaluating Pericoronary Adipose Tissue?Attenuation to Predict Cardiovascular Events
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCATA) is a novel imaging biomarker of pericoronary inflammation associated with coronary artery disease. Several studies have reported the usefulness of PCATA among people of European ethnicity; however, data are lacking concerning those of Asian ethnicity.<br>
Objectives: This multicenter study aimed to evaluate the effect of PCATA on prognosis in East Asian patients.<br>
Methods: Between August 2011 and December 2016, 2,172 patients underwent clinically indicated coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) at 4 hospitals in Japan. Among them, 1,270 patients were analyzed. PCATA was evaluated using coronary CTA to measure pericoronary adipose tissue density surrounding the 3 major coronary arteries. The outcomes were composite cardiovascular events, including cardiovascular death and acute coronary syndrome; 33 cardiovascular events observed during a median follow-up of 6.0 years (Q1-Q3: 3.6-8.2 years).<br>
Results: Right coronary artery (RCA)-PCATA was significantly higher in patients with cardiovascular events than in those without (?63.7 ± 8.9 HU vs ?67.4 ± 9.1 HU, respectively; P = 0.021). High RCA-PCATA was significantly associated with cardiovascular events in a model that included the Hisayama risk score and adverse coronary CTA findings (HR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.07-2.24; P = 0.019).<br>
Conclusions: High RCA-PCATA showed significant association with future cardiovascular events after adjusting conventional risk factors and adverse coronary CTA findings in East Asian patients who underwent clinically indicated coronary CTA.

kn-title=Dotinurad Treatment for Patients With Hyperuricemia Complicating CKD
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction: The management of hyperuricemia is important to reduce cardiovascular risk and the progression of renal injury in chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of dotinurad, a novel urate transporter-1 inhibitor, in patients with hyperuricemia and CKD.<br>
Methods: In a nonrandomized, parallel interventional study, patients were grouped based on their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at baseline. The starting dotinurad dose was 0.5 mg/d and titrated to a final dose of 2 mg/d to 4 mg/d. The primary end point was the noninferiority of the change in serum uric acid (UA) levels between the G1/G2 and G3/G4 groups at week 24. The main secondary end points were changes in eGFR and UA clearance-to-creatinine clearance ratio (CUA/CCr). Reported adverse events were also investigated.<br>
Results: Ninety-eight patients continued the dose titration. The mean percentage reduction in serum UA level at week 24 were 47.2% and 42.8% for the G1/G2 and G3/G4 groups, respectively; the between-group difference was ?4.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], ?9.5% to 0.9%, noninferiority P = 0.0321), validating the noninferiority of treatment in the G3/G4 group to the G1/G2 group. eGFR tended to increase slightly through to week 24, suggesting that spontaneous eGFR decline was counteracted. Mean CUA/CCr generally increased over time from week 4 to week 24. No new safety issues of particular concern were identified; and there were no marked changes in urinary pH.<br>
Conclusion: Dotinurad therapy may be well-tolerated in patients with hyperuricemia and may have efficacy comparable with existing standard treatment in patients with CKD stages G3/G4. Randomized controlled trials in larger patient groups are needed.

kn-title=Unraveling the Complex Features of the Seismic Scatterers in the Mid‐Lower Mantle Through Phase Transition of (Al, H)‐Bearing Stishovite
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Small-scale scatterers observed in the mid-lower mantle beneath the subduction zones are thought to result from the phase transition of stishovite within subducted oceanic crusts. Here we investigate the phase transition of (Al, H)-bearing stishovite with four compositions at simultaneously high P-T conditions combining Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. These experimental results reveal that the incorporation of 0.01 a.p.f.u Al into stishovite with H/Al ratio of ?1/3 lowers the transition pressure by 6.7(3) GPa. However, the Clapeyron slope of this transition is nearly unaffected by changes in the Al content and has a value of 12.2?12.5(3) MPa/K. According to our results, Al content variation ranging from 0 to 0.07 a.p.f.u in SiO2 can reasonably explain the depth distribution from 800 to 1,900 km of the seismic scatterers observed in the circum-Pacific region. These results deepen our understanding on the complex features of mid-lower mantle seismic scatterers and corresponding dynamic processes.

kn-abstract=Methods for causal mediation analysis have developed dramatically over the past few decades.1?7 In the causal mediation literature, several causal quantities?or estimands?have been proposed, including natural direct and indirect effects, interventional direct and indirect effects, and separable direct and indirect effects. As another possible causal estimand, Chen and Lin8 proposed separable path-specific effects, which is an extension of the separable effects framework to cases that involve multiple ordered mediators. In this commentary, I briefly discuss the newly proposed method from a broader perspective on causal mediation analysis. For readers less familiar with common causal mediation approaches, please see related literature.1?3,9?11

kn-title=An ultra-simplified protocol for PCR template preparation from both unsporulated and sporulated Eimeria oocysts
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Molecular biological techniques have enabled the accurate identification of the avian Eimeria parasite, however, the preparation of PCR template remains a bottleneck due to contaminants from feces and the robust oocyst's wall resistant to chemical and mechanical force. Generally, the preparation of PCR template involves three main steps: (1) pretreatment of oocysts; (2) disruption of oocysts; and (3) purification of genomic DNA. We prepared PCR templates from both unsporulated and sporulated E. tenella oocysts using various protocols, followed by species-specific PCR to define the limit of detection. Our data revealed that whereas neither pretreatment of oocysts with sodium hypochlorite nor purification of genomic DNA with commercial kits improved the limit of detection of PCR, disruption of oocysts was a critical step in the preparation of PCR templates. The most sensitive PCR assay was achieved with the template prepared by disrupting oocysts suspended in distilled water, followed by bead-beating and heating at 99°C for 5 min, which detected 0.16 oocysts per PCR. This ultra-simplified protocol for preparation of PCR template, which does not require expensive reagents or equipment, will significantly enhance the sensitive and efficient molecular identification of Eimeria. It will improve our understanding of the prevalence of this parasite at the species level and contribute to the development of techniques for the control in the field.

kn-title=Longitudinal changes and tracking of in-school physical activity in primary school children: four-year longitudinal study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background There is little evidence on the tracking of physical activity during school hours. In addition, tracking physical activity in schools provides important evidence for understanding children’s physical activity and conducting intervention studies. Therefore, this study examined longitudinal changes and tracking of in-school physical activity in primary school children.<br>
Methods In this study, physical activity was investigated longitudinally in primary school children for 4 years. The baseline participants consisted of 103 second-grade students (7?8 years old) who participated. Step counts and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in school and during first recess and lunch/second recess were examined using an accelerometer (Kenz Lifecorder GS 4-second version; Suzuken Co. Ltd, Nagoya, Japan).<br>
Results After excluding missing data (moving school; n?=?8, physical activity; n?=?8), 87 (43 boys and 44 girls) of whom were included in the final analysis. Step counts and MVPA during school and physical education in boys did not decrease across the school years. By contrast, in girls, step counts during school did not decrease across the school years, however MVPA did decrease. In addition, for both sexes, step counts and MVPA during first recess decrease across the school years. During lunch/second recess, only step counts decrease across the school years in both sexes. In addition, the tracking coefficients for step counts and MVPA for boys in school and during first recess and lunch/second recess were found across many school years. Contrarily, girls had fewer significant tracking coefficients between school years than boys. There were also few significant tracking coefficients between grades for physical education step counts and MVPA for both boys and girls.<br>
Conclusions Our results suggested that in-school step counts for both boys and girls does not decrease across the school years. However, given that girls demonstrated reduced levels of in-school MVPA across the school years, it is important to promote strategies to increase MVPA in this group.

kn-title=The leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase QSK1 regulates PRR-RBOHD complexes targeted by the bacterial effector HopF2Pto
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Plants detect pathogens using cell-surface pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) such as ELONGATION Factor-TU (EF-TU) RECEPTOR (EFR) and FLAGELLIN SENSING 2 (FLS2), which recognize bacterial EF-Tu and flagellin, respectively. These PRRs belong to the leucine-rich repeat receptor kinase (LRR-RK) family and activate the production of reactive oxygen species via the NADPH oxidase RESPIRATORY BURST OXIDASE HOMOLOG D (RBOHD). The PRR-RBOHD complex is tightly regulated to prevent unwarranted or exaggerated immune responses. However, certain pathogen effectors can subvert these regulatory mechanisms, thereby suppressing plant immunity. To elucidate the intricate dynamics of the PRR-RBOHD complex, we conducted a comparative coimmunoprecipitation analysis using EFR, FLS2, and RBOHD in Arabidopsis thaliana. We identified QIAN SHOU KINASE 1 (QSK1), an LRR-RK, as a PRR-RBOHD complex-associated protein. QSK1 downregulated FLS2 and EFR abundance, functioning as a negative regulator of PRR-triggered immunity (PTI). QSK1 was targeted by the bacterial effector HopF2Pto, a mono-ADP ribosyltransferase, reducing FLS2 and EFR levels through both transcriptional and transcription-independent pathways, thereby inhibiting PTI. Furthermore, HopF2Pto transcriptionally downregulated PROSCOOP genes encoding important stress-regulated phytocytokines and their receptor MALE DISCOVERER 1-INTERACTING RECEPTOR-LIKE KINASE 2. Importantly, HopF2Pto requires QSK1 for its accumulation and virulence functions within plants. In summary, our results provide insights into the mechanism by which HopF2Pto employs QSK1 to desensitize plants to pathogen attack.

kn-title=Electrochemical Generation of Sulfonamidyl Radicals via Anodic Oxidation of Hydrogen Bonding Complexes: Applications to Electrosynthesis of Benzosultams
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Amidyl radicals and sulfonamidyl radicals are widely used in the field of organic synthesis. In particular, the electrochemical oxidation of amides in the presence of bases is one of the most practical methods for generating amidyl radicals. However, it is often difficult to observe the “true” radical precursor, such as an amide anion and/or a hydrogen bonding complex with an amide and a base. We found that a sulfonamide and Bu4NOAc form a 1:1 hydrogen bonding complex by spectroscopic experiments. Cyclic voltammetry suggested that 1:1 hydrogen bonding complexes should be oxidized predominantly under the optimized conditions to afford a sulfonamidyl radical via the proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process by the oxidation of the complex. Thus-generated sulfonamidyl radicals could be used in the electrochemical synthesis of a variety of benzosultams.

kn-title=Six-Year Remission With No Relapse After Four-Time Weekly Rituximab Only for Bilateral Ocular Adnexal Follicular Lymphoma
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Follicular lymphoma mostly takes an indolent course, and thus, observation with watchful waiting is a main therapeutic strategy. Recent long-term studies suggest earlier treatment with rituximab monotherapy may benefit patients by delaying the need for treatment in the later phase of exacerbation. In this study, we reported a patient with bilateral orbital follicular lymphoma who received four-time weekly rituximab monotherapy as an induction therapy only and maintained the remission for 5 years with no treatment. The patient was a 51-year-old woman who developed a right upper orbital mass and was diagnosed with follicular lymphoma grade 1 by the excisional biopsy. Two years later, at the age of 53 years, she developed a left lacrimal gland mass and underwent excision. The pathological diagnosis was follicular lymphoma grade 1. She did not have any other systemic lesions by fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. At the age of 54 years, she developed a new mass on the nasal side of the right orbit and underwent weekly rituximab monotherapy (375 mg/m2) four times a month, leading to the reduction of the mass in 3 months. Two high uptake sites on the temporal and nasal side of the right superior orbit by fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography disappeared one year later at the age of 55 years. She was followed with no treatment for 6 years until the age of 60 years at the latest visit. In case of a local orbital relapse, local radiotherapy would be the standard, but rituximab monotherapy as an induction therapy only was chosen in the present patient. Rituximab monotherapy in place of local radiotherapy would be a treatment option for orbital follicular lymphoma.

kn-title=Genomic features of three major diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli pathotypes in India
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background. Diarrhoea remains a major threat to children in developing nations, with diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) being the primary causative agent. Characterizing prevalent DEC strains is crucial, yet comprehensive genomic analyses of major DEC strains, including enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) and enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC), are lacking in India.<br>
Methods. We sequenced 24 EAEC and 23 EPEC strains from Indian patients with diarrhoea and conducted an extensive database search for DEC human isolates from India. Detailed phylogenetic analyses, virulence gene subtyping and examinations of accessory virulence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes were performed.<br>
Results. The analysed DEC strains included 32 EAEC, 25 EPEC, 32 ETEC and 1 each of the EPEC/ETEC-hybrid and ETEC/EAEC-hybrid pathotypes. These strains were predominantly classified into phylogroups A (35.2%) and B1 (41.8%) and dispersed within these phylogroups without pathotype-specific clustering. One ETEC strain was classified into cryptic clade 1. Subtypes of hallmark virulence genes varied substantially amongst strains in each pathotype, and 31 accessory virulence genes were detected either specifically within certain pathotypes or across multiple pathotypes at varying frequencies, indicating diversification of the virulence gene repertoire within each pathotype. Acquired AMR genes were found in 73.6% of the strains, with frequent identification of AMR genes for aminoglycosides (40.0%), β-lactams (64.8%), sulphonamides (49.5%) and trimethoprim (42.9%). Known quinolone-resistant mutations were found in 74.7% of the strains, whereas AMR genes for macrolide (30.8%), phenicol (11.0%) and tetracycline (27.4%) were less frequent.<br>
Conclusions. The diverse virulence potential and trends in AMR gene prevalence amongst major DEC strains in India are highlighted in this study. Continuous monitoring of DEC strain characteristics is essential for the effective control and treatment of DEC infections in India.

kn-title=Development of an AI-based Image Analysis System to Calculate the Visit Duration of a Green Blow Fly on a Strawberry Flower
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Pollinator insects are required to pollinate flowers in the production of some fruits and vegetables, and strawberries fall into this category. However, the function of pollinators has not been clarified by quantitative metrics such as the duration of pollinator visits needed by flowers. Due to the long activity time of pollinators (approximately 10-h), it is not easy to observe the visitation characteristics manually. Therefore, we developed software for evaluating pollinator performance using two types of artificial intelligence (AI), YOLOv4, which is an object detection AI, and VGG16, which is an image classifier AI. In this study, we used Phaenicia sericata Meigen (green blow fly) as the strawberry pollinator. The software program can automatically estimate the visit duration of a fly on a flower from video clips. First, the position of the flower is identified using YOLO, and the identified location is cropped. Next, the cropped image is classified by VGG16 to determine if the fly is on the flower. Finally, the results are saved in CSV and HTML format. The program processed 10 h of video (collected from 07:00 h to 17:00 h) taken under actual growing conditions to estimate the visit durations of flies on flowers. The recognition accuracy was approximately 97%, with an average difference of 550 s. The software was run on a small computer board (the Jetson Nano), indicating that it can easily be used without a complicated AI configuration. This means that the software can be used immediately by distributing pre-configured disk images. When the software was run on the Jetson Nano, it took approximately 11 min to estimate one day of 2-h video. It is therefore clear that the visit duration of a fly on a flower can be estimated much faster than by manually checking videos. Furthermore, this system can estimate the visit durations of pollinators to other flowers by changing the YOLO and VGG16 model files.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Designing a cheap, competent, and durable catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is exceedingly necessary for generating oxygen through a water-splitting reaction. In this project, we have designed a ZIF-67-originated molybdenum-doped cobalt phosphide (CoP) using a simplistic dissolution?regrowth method using Na2MoO4 and a subsequent phosphidation process. This leads to the formation of an exceptional hollow nanocage morphology that is useful for enhanced catalytic activity. Metal?organic frameworks, especially ZIF-67, can be used both as a template and as a metal (cobalt) precursor. Molybdenum-doped CoP was fabricated through a two-step synthesis process, and the fabricated Mo-doped CoP showed excellent catalytic activity during the OER with a lower value of overpotential. Furthermore, the effect of the Mo amount on the catalytic activity has been explored. The best catalyst (CoMoP-2) showed an onset potential of around 1.49 V at 10 mA cm?2 to give rise to a Tafel slope of 62.1 mV dec?1. The improved catalytic activity can be attributed to the increased porosity and surface area of the resultant catalyst.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In radiotherapy treatment planning, the extrapolation of computed tomography (CT) values for low-density areas without known materials may differ between CT scanners, resulting in different calculated doses. We evaluated the differences in the percentage depth dose (PDD) calculated using eight CT scanners. Heterogeneous virtual phantoms were created using LN-300 lung and ??900 HU. For the two types of virtual phantoms, the PDD on the central axis was calculated using five energies, two irradiation field sizes, and two calculation algorithms (the anisotropic analytical algorithm and Acuros XB). For the LN-300 lung, the maximum CT value difference between the eight CT scanners was 51 HU for an electron density (ED) of 0.29 and 8.8 HU for an extrapolated ED of 0.05. The LN-300 lung CT values showed little variation in the CT-ED/physical density data among CT scanners. The difference in the point depth for the PDD in the LN-300 lung between the CT scanners was?<?0.5% for all energies and calculation algorithms. Using Acuros XB, the PDD at ? 900 HU had a maximum difference between facilities of?>?5%, and the dose difference corresponding to an LN-300 lung CT value difference of?>?20 HU was?>?1% at a field size of 2?×?2 cm2. The study findings suggest that the calculated dose of low-density regions without known materials in the CT-ED conversion table introduces a risk of dose differences between facilities because of the calibration of the CT values, even when the same CT-ED phantom radiation treatment planning and treatment devices are used.

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　This study constructs a model of anticompetitive exclusive dealing in the presence of complementary inputs. Kitamura, Matsushima, and Sato （2018） analyze the situation where a downstream firm transforms multiple complementary inputs into final products. When complementary input suppliers have market power, the inefficient incumbent supplier can deter socially efficient entry by using exclusive contracts. This study applies the analysis from Kitamura, Matsushima, and Sato （2018） to examine a situation where the potential entrant produces horizontally differentiated products and demonstrates the feasibility of anticompetitive exclusive dealing.

en-title=A New Approach to Economic Ripple Effects in Regional Input-Output Tables
kn-title=地域産業連関表における経済波及効果のNew Approach
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=　This paper first addresses the concept of economic ripple effects, highlighting that simulation results based on input-output tables often lead to overestimations. The primary reason for this overestimation lies in a misunderstanding of the underlying assumptions that generate ripple effects. Specifically, household consumption within a given region merely represents a transfer of money rather than a genuine economic impact. In principle, ripple effects should be understood as additional consumption resulting from increased income. In the absence of income growth, such effects largely represent consumption substitution or intertemporal shifts in spending. Furthermore, what is commonly referred to as “economic impact” is typically calculated as the cumulative total of sales revenue, which aggregates all monetary transactions indiscriminately. This approach differs from the concept of value-added effects, or income effects, which cannot exceed the initial inflow of money from outside the region. One of the factors contributing to these misinterpretations is the insufficient education on input-output analysis at universities. Additionally, computational tools provided by think tanks and public institutions for estimating ripple effects also present methodological issues. To address these challenges, this paper further refines a model previously proposed by the author that visualizes the ripple effect process. The study demonstrates, using real-world examples, the process of constructing ex-post input-output tables following exogenous impacts such as events. In particular, the paper introduces a “partially non-competitive import type” input structure as an alternative to the conventional competitive import-type input-output tables, which tend to overestimate the effects of changes in self-sufficiency rates. This new approach offers a more accurate framework for analyzing economic impacts.
kn-abstract=　本稿では，まず経済波及効果の考え方について，産業連関表を用いたシミュレーションの結果が，しばしば過大評価になっていることを述べる。その理由として，経済波及効果をもたらす前提条件の考え方にしばしば誤解があることを指摘する。域内の居住者の消費はマネーの移転であり，真の経済効果ではない。波及効果とは，本来，所得が増えた結果の追加消費であって，所得が増えない状況では，代替消費や消費の先取りに過ぎないのである。また，一般にいう経済効果とは，売上高の積み上げであって同じマネーが何でも加算されているものであり，付加価値効果すなわち所得効果とは異なる。付加価値効果は，当初の域外から入ってきたマネー以上にはならない。こういった解釈の誤謬をもたらしているのは，大学での産業連関分析の教育が十分でないことも原因の1つであるが，シンクタンクや公的機関などで提供されている波及効果の計算ツールにも問題がある。そこで本稿では，これまで筆者が提唱してきた波及効果プロセスを見える化するモデルを更に精緻化し，イベントなど外生的インパクトが発生した後の事後的な産業連関表を構築する流れに関して実例を用いて説明を行う。特に自給率の変化の効果については，これまでの競争移入型連関表では効果が過大傾向になる問題点を解消するべく，「部分非競争移入型」の投入構造を提案し，新たな分析方法を提案する。

en-title=Market Reactions to Earnings Announcements in Profitable and Loss Firm-Quarters: Changes Around the Market Restructuring
kn-title=黒字企業と赤字企業における決算発表に対する市場の反応―市場区分変更前後における分析―
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the market reaction to earnings announcements in each market segment （prime market segment, standard market segment, and growth market segment） differs between profitable and loss-making firms around the time of market restructuring. We have previously studied market reactions to quarterly earnings announcements in the context of the revision of market segmentation at the Tokyo Stock Exchange. However, we have not studied the differences between profitable firm quarters and loss firm quarters. Therefore, the analysis in this paper focuses on whether the net income attributable to owners of the parent is positive or negative. In the growth market segment, significant differences between profitable and loss-making firms were observed in the results of the analysis.

en-title=Re-Thinking the Locus of Innovation
kn-title=イノベーションの発生源研究の再検討
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=　This study aims to theoretically examine prior research on the locus of innovation, with a particular focus on clarifying "when," "where," and "by whom" innovation is generated. The analysis reveals that in the context of B to B (Industrial Goods) , the shift of innovation sources toward enterprise users has been explained from the perspective of economic rationality, incorporating multiple factors such as transaction cost, expected innovation rents, sticky information, internal capabilities (Absorptive Capacity) , and external industrial structures (Product Architecture, Ecosystem) . In contrast, in the B to C context (Consumer Goods) , end users pursue innovation for a wide variety of reasons, including manufacturers' lack of responsiveness to niche markets, the enjoyment of creative activity, connection with user communities, and personal growth. Among these, the enjoyment derived from creative activity has deemed to be identified as one of the most fundamental motivational factors. However, the methodological articulation of such psychological factors is not enough. Leaving the psychological drivers behind innovation as a black box is not merely a matter of academic curiosity but presents a significant challenge for management studies as a social science. This is because management is always purposive attempts for directing and controlling the process of value creation and sometimes psychological exaltation, which may be recently called 'flow' experience, may conflict such attempts. In future research on the locus of innovation, it is essential to focus on these psychological aspects of individual innovator and to develop new research approaches. First, it has a room for further elucidation of the mechanisms by which positive emotions contribute to innovation, but this challenge is hardly easy to overcome. Since creativity is essentially a construct of the individual level and innovation is not, the argument of balancing the entrepreneurial motivational drivers and the managerial direction and control of creative destruction needs to be mediated by meso-level constructs. In our prospect, such concepts as underdeveloped ecosystem on the supply side and immature connoisseur on the side of consumers may be promising. Another concern is the generally limited sample size of creative minds. The existent research tactics that have been found in our neighboring disciplines sharing the same problem as ours, either qualitative or quantitative, may provide us with methodical benchmarks.
kn-abstract=　本論文は，イノベーションの発生源に関する先行研究を振り返り，「いつ」「どこで」「誰によって」イノベーションが生み出されるのかを理論的に考察することを目的とする。考察の結果，「B to B」の文脈においては，イノベーションの発生源が企業ユーザーへ移行するメカニズムとして，取引コスト理論，期待利益仮説，情報粘着性の仮説，企業内部の独自能力（吸収能力），および外部の産業構造（製品アーキテクチャ・エコシステム）といった複数の要素からなる経済的合理性の観点から分析されていることが明らかになった。一方，「B to C」の文脈では，エンドユーザーがイノベーションに向かう動機として，「ニッチ市場に対するメーカーの消極的な対応」「創造的活動の楽しさ」「ユーザーコミュニティとの繋がり」「知識・スキルの向上」など多種多様な要素が存在し，中でも創造的活動の楽しさが根源的な動機づけの1つであると確認された。一方で，イノベーターを突き動かす心理的要因をブラックボックス化したまま放置することは，単なる知的好奇心の問題に留まらず，社会科学としての経営学にとっても重要な問題であると考えられる。今後のイノベーションの発生源研究においては，起業家をはじめとするイノベーター個人の心理的側面にいかに目を向け，創造的活動におけるポジティブな感情が働くメカニズムをイノベーションの発生メカニズムにいかに位置づけるか，その研究アプローチの提示が求められる。

kn-title=Safety of Adenosine-assisted Clipping Surgery for Unruptured Cerebral Aneurysms: Interim Results of a Single-center, Single-arm Study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The aim of this single-center, single-arm study was to evaluate the safety of adenosine-assisted clipping surgery for unruptured cerebral aneurysms. Five patients underwent aneurysmal clipping during adenosine-induced hypotension at ?60 mmHg. The mean age of patients was 63.4±8.5 years, and the mean aneurysm size was 5.3±1.1 mm. The prevalence of patients with modified Rankin Scale scores of zero 30 days after surgery was 100%. The degree of aneurysm obliteration was complete in 4 patients and residual dome in 1 patient. The mean total dosage of adenosine was 37.4±18.8 mg. The mean duration of systolic blood pressure at ?60 mmHg was 64.2±28.3 secs. No patients exhibited paroxysmal atrial fibrillation within 24 hours after adenosine administration or elevation of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T on postoperative day 1. There was no reduction in either motor-evoked or somatosensory-evoked potential amplitude during surgery. Adenosine-induced hypotension is a safe procedure in clipping surgery for unruptured cerebral aneurysms.

kn-abstract=Spider mites (Tetranychus urticae) are a major threat to economically important crops. Here, we investigated the potential of tetranins, in particular Tet3 and Tet4, as T. urticae protein-type elicitors that stimulate plant defense. Truncated Tet3 and Tet4 proteins showed efficacy in activating the defense gene pathogenesis-related 1 (PR1) and inducing phytohormone production in leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris. In particular, Tet3 caused a drastically higher Ca2+ influx in leaves, but a lower reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation compared to other tetranins, whereas Tet4 caused a low Ca2+ influx and a high ROS generation in the host plants. Such specific and non-specific elicitor activities were examined by knockdown of Tet3 and Tet4 expressions in mites, confirming their respective activities and in particular showing that they function additively or synergistically to induce defense responses. Of great interest is the fact that Tet3 and Tet4 expression levels were higher in mites on their preferred host, P. vulgaris, compared to the levels in mites on the less-preferred host, Cucumis sativus, whereas Tet1 and Tet2 were constitutively expressed regardless of their host. Furthermore, mites that had been hosted on C. sativus induced lower levels of PR1 expression, Ca2+ influx and ROS generation, i.e., Tet3- and Tet4-responsive defense responses, in both P. vulgaris and C. sativus leaves compared to the levels induced by mites that had been hosted on P. vulgaris. Taken together, these findings show that selected tetranins respond to variable host cues that may optimize herbivore fitness by altering the anti-mite response of the host plant.

kn-title=Centrophilic retrotransposon integration via CENH3 chromatin in Arabidopsis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In organisms ranging from vertebrates to plants, major components of centromeres are rapidly evolving repeat sequences, such as tandem repeats (TRs) and transposable elements (TEs), which harbour centromere-specific histone H3 (CENH3)1,2. Complete centromere structures recently determined in human and Arabidopsis suggest frequent integration and purging of retrotransposons within the TR regions of centromeres3,4,5. Despite the high impact of ‘centrophilic’ retrotransposons on the paradox of rapid centromere evolution, the mechanisms involved in centromere targeting remain poorly understood in any organism. Here we show that both Ty3 and Ty1 long terminal repeat retrotransposons rapidly turnover within the centromeric TRs of Arabidopsis species. We demonstrate that the Ty1/Copia element Tal1 (Transposon of Arabidopsis lyrata 1) integrates de novo into regions occupied by CENH3 in Arabidopsis thaliana, and that ectopic expansion of the CENH3 region results in spread of Tal1 integration regions. The integration spectra of chimeric TEs reveal the key structural variations responsible for contrasting chromatin-targeting specificities to centromeres versus gene-rich regions, which have recurrently converted during the evolution of these TEs. Our findings show the impact of centromeric chromatin on TE-mediated rapid centromere evolution, with relevance across eukaryotic genomes.

kn-title=Shoot-Silicon-Signal protein to regulate root silicon uptake in rice
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Plants accumulate silicon to protect them from biotic and abiotic stresses. Especially in rice (Oryza sativa), a typical Si-accumulator, tremendous Si accumulation is indispensable for healthy growth and productivity. Here, we report a shoot-expressed signaling protein, Shoot-Silicon-Signal (SSS), an exceptional homolog of the flowering hormone “florigen” differentiated in Poaceae. SSS transcript is only detected in the shoot, whereas the SSS protein is also detected in the root and phloem sap. When Si is supplied from the root, the SSS transcript rapidly decreases, and then the SSS protein disappears. In sss mutants, root Si uptake and expression of Si transporters are decreased to a basal level regardless of the Si supply. The grain yield of the mutants is decreased to 1/3 due to insufficient Si accumulation. Thus, SSS is a key phloem-mobile protein for integrating root Si uptake and shoot Si accumulation underlying the terrestrial adaptation strategy of grasses.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Aquaporin (AQP)-dependent water transport across membranes is indispensable in plants. Recent evidence shows that several AQPs, including plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs), facilitate the electrogenic transport of ions as well as water transport and are referred to as ion-conducting aquaporins (icAQPs). The present study attempted to identify icAQPs that exhibit cation transport activity among PIPs from rice. Electrophysiological experiments on 11 OsPIPs using Xenopus laevis oocytes revealed that OsPIP2;4 mediated the electrogenic transport of alkali monovalent cations with the selectivity sequence of Na+ ? K+ > Rb+ > Cs+ > Li+, suggesting non-selective cation conductance for Na+ and K+. Transcripts of OsPIP2;4 were abundant in the elongation and mature zones of roots with similar expression levels between the root stelar and remaining outer parts in the cultivar Nipponbare. Immunostaining using sections of the crown roots of Nipponbare plants revealed the expression of OsPIP2;4 in the exodermis and sclerenchyma of the surface region and in the endodermis and pericycle of the stelar region. The present results provide novel insights into OsPIP2;4-dependent non-selective Na+ and K+ transport and its physiological roles in rice.

kn-title=Trends in the incidence of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in Japan: an observational study from 2013 to 2022
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We aimed to determine the 10-year trend in the incidence of Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) in Japan. This retrospective observational study used a publicly available national database. Trends in the incidence of SFTS with annual percent changes (APC) were examined using Joinpoint regression analysis with stratification by patient age, season, and region. The association between disease incidence and environmental factors was investigated using Spearman’s rank correlation. Between 2013 and 2022, there were 803 notified cases (397 males and 406 females) of SFTS, with 79.5% aged???65 years. The annual incidence rate increased continuously with an APC of 9.6%. The incidence peaked between May and June, with 80.8% of cases observed between May and October. The incidence was predominantly higher in western Japan, and the mean annual incidence rate was the highest in Miyazaki prefecture, with 0.89 per 100,000 people. Correlations between the SFTS incidence rates and environmental factors were observed in western Japan, with forest area (correlation coefficient, 0.80), followed by agricultural population rate (0.70). SFTS incidence is continuously increasing in Japan, especially among the elderly population. Environmental factors such as broader forest areas and increased agricultural population were possibly associated with the incidence.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This study presents the automated identification of the complex magnetization reversal process in nonoriented electrical steel (NOES) using the feature extended Ginzburg?Landau (eX-GL) free energy framework. eX-GL provides a robust connection between microscopic magnetic domains and macroscopic magnetic hysteresis using a data science perspective. This method employs physically meaningful features to analyze the energy landscape, providing insights into the mechanisms behind function. We obtained features representing both the microstructure and energy of the domain wall. The causes of iron loss were traced to the original domain structure, through which we could successfully distinguish and visualize the role of pinning as a promoting and resisting factor. We found that the reversal process was governed not only by general grain boundary pinning but also by segmented magnetic domains within the grain. This method revealed the complex interplay between magnetism and metallography and introduced a new means for transformative material design, bridging structures and functions.

kn-title=Analysis of the effect of permeant solutes on the hydraulic resistance of the plasma membrane in cells of Chara corallina
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In the cells of Chara corallina, permeant monohydric alcohols including methanol, ethanol and 1-propanol increased the hydraulic resistance of the membrane (Lpm?1). We found that the relative value of the hydraulic resistance (rLpm?1) was linearly dependent on the concentration (Cs) of the alcohol. The relationship is expressed in the equation: rLpm?1?=?ρmCs?+?1, where ρm is the hydraulic resistance modifier coefficient of the membrane. Ye et al. (2004) showed that membrane-permeant glycol ethers also increased Lp?1. We used their data to estimate Lpm?1 and rLpm?1. The values of rLpm?1 fit the above relation we found for alcohols. When we plotted the ρm values of all the permeant alcohols and glycol ethers against their molecular weights (MW), we obtained a linear curve with a slope of 0.014 M?1/MW and with a correlation coefficient of 0.99. We analyzed the influence of the permeant solutes on the relative hydraulic resistance of the membrane (rLpm?1) as a function of the external (π0) and internal (πi) osmotic pressures. The analysis showed that the hydraulic resistance modifier coefficients (ρm) were linearly related to the MW of the permeant solutes with a slope of 0.012 M?1/MW and with a correlation coefficient of 0.84. The linear relationship between the effects of permeating solutes on the hydraulic resistance modifier coefficient (ρm) and the MW can be explained in terms of the effect of the effective osmotic pressure on the hydraulic conductivity of water channels. The result of the analysis suggests that the osmotic pressure and not the size of the permeant solute as proposed by (Ye et al., J Exp Bot 55:449?461, 2004) is the decisive factor in a solute’s influence on hydraulic conductivity. Thus, characean water channels (aquaporins) respond to permeant solutes with essentially the same mechanism as to impermeant solutes.

kn-title=Unraveling the Cr Isotopes of Ryugu: An Accurate Aqueous Alteration Age and the Least Thermally Processed Solar System Material
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The analysis of samples returned from the C-type asteroid Ryugu has drastically advanced our knowledge of the evolution of early solar system materials. However, no consensus has been obtained on the chronological data, which is important for understanding the evolution of the asteroid Ryugu. Here, the aqueous alteration age of Ryugu particles was determined by the Mn?Cr method using bulk samples, yielding an age of 4.13 + 0.62/?0.55 Myr after the formation of Ca?Al-rich inclusions (CAI). The age corresponds to 4563.17 + 0.60/?0.67 Myr ago. The higher 55Mn/52Cr, ε54Cr, and initial ε53Cr values of the Ryugu samples relative to any carbonaceous chondrite samples implies that its progenitor body formed from the least thermally processed precursors in the outermost region of the protoplanetary disk. Despite accreting at different distances from the Sun, the hydrous asteroids (Ryugu and the parent bodies of CI, CM, CR, and ungrouped C2 meteorites) underwent aqueous alteration during a period of limited duration (3.8 ± 1.8 Myr after CAI). These ages are identical to the crystallization age of the carbonaceous achondirtes NWA 6704/6693 within the error. The ε54Cr and initial ε53Cr values of Ryugu and NWA 6704/6693 are also identical, while they show distinct Δ'17O values. This suggests that the precursors that formed the progenitor bodies of Ryugu and NWA 6703/6693 were formed in close proximity and experienced a similar degree of thermal processing in the protosolar nebula. However, the progenitor body of Ryugu was formed by a higher ice/dust ratio, than NWA6703/6693, in the outer region of the protoplanetary disk.

kn-abstract=Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase (CaMKK) is an activating kinase for calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type 1 (CaMKI), calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase type IV (CaMKIV), RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (PKB), and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) that has been reported to form an active oligomer in cells. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) pulldown assay from the extracts of COS-7 cells expressing GST- and His6-CaMKKα/1 mutants showed that the C-terminal region containing the autoinhibitory and calmodulin (CaM)-binding sequence (residues 438?463) is required for CaMKKα/1 homo-oligomerization. This was confirmed by the fact that the GST-CaMKKα/1 C-terminal domain (residues 435?505) directly interacted with EGFP-CaMKKα/1 residues 435?505 as well as with wild-type CaMKKα/1. Notably, once oligomerized in cells, CaMKKα/1 is neither exchangeable between the oligomeric complexes nor dissociated by Ca2+/CaM binding. These results support stable oligomerization of CaMKK in the cells by intermolecular self-association of its C-terminal region containing a regulatory domain.

kn-title=SHORT AND CROOKED AWN, encoding the epigenetic regulator EMF1, promotes barley awn development
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The awn is a bristle-like extension from the tip of the lemma in grasses. In barley, the predominant cultivars possess long awns that contribute to grain yield and quality through photosynthesis. In addition, various awn morphological mutants are available in barley, rendering it a useful cereal crop to investigate the mechanims of awn development. Here, we identified the gene causative of the short and crooked awn (sca) mutant, which exhibits a short and curved awn phenotype. Intercrossing experiments revealed that the sca mutant induced in the Japanese cultivar (cv.) “Akashinriki” is allelic to the independently isolated moderately short-awn mutant breviaristatum-a (ari-a). Map-based cloning and sequencing revealed that SCA encodes the Polycomb group?associated protein EMBRYONIC FLOWER 1. We found that SCA affects awn development through the promotion of cell proliferation, elongation, and cell wall synthesis. RNA sequencing of cv. Bowman backcross-derived near-isogenic lines of sca and ari-a6 alleles showed that SCA is directly or indirectly involved in promoting the expression of genes related to awn development. Additionally, SCA represses various transcription factors essential for floral organ development and plant architecture, such as MADS-box and Knotted1-like homeobox genes. Notably, the repression of the C-class MADS-box gene HvMADS58 by SCA in awns is associated with the accumulation of the repressive histone modification H3K27me3. These findings highlight the potential role of SCA-mediated gene regulation, including histone modification, as a novel pathway in barley awn development.

kn-title=Effect of temperature cycles on the sleep-like state in Hydra vulgaris
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Sleep is a conserved physiological phenomenon across species. It is mainly controlled by two processes: a circadian clock that regulates the timing of sleep and a homeostat that regulates the sleep drive. Even cnidarians, such as Hydra and jellyfish, which lack a brain, display sleep-like states. However, the manner in which environmental cues affect sleep-like states in these organisms remains unknown. In the present study, we investigated the effects of light and temperature cycles on the sleep-like state in Hydra vulgaris.<br>
Results Our findings indicate that Hydra responds to temperature cycles with a difference of up to 5° C, resulting in decreased sleep duration under light conditions and increased sleep duration in dark conditions. Furthermore, our results reveal that Hydra prioritizes temperature changes over light as an environmental cue. Additionally, our body resection experiments show tissue-specific responsiveness in the generation ofthe sleep-like state under different environmental cues. Specifically, the upper body can generate the sleep-like state in response to a single environmental cue. In contrast, the lower body did not respond to 12-h light?dark cycles at a constant temperature.<br>
Conclusions These findings indicate that both light and temperature influence the regulation of the sleep-like state in Hydra. Moreover, these observations highlight the existence of distinct regulatory mechanisms that govern patterns of the sleep-like state in brainless organisms, suggesting the potential involvement of specific regions for responsiveness of environmental cues for regulation of the sleep-like state.

kn-title=A high-protein diet-responsive gut hormone regulates behavioral and metabolic optimization in Drosophila melanogaster
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Protein is essential for all living organisms; however, excessive protein intake can have adverse effects, such as hyperammonemia. Although mechanisms responding to protein deficiency are well-studied, there is a significant gap in our understanding of how organisms adaptively suppress excessive protein intake. In the present study, utilizing the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, we discover that the peptide hormone CCHamide1 (CCHa1), secreted by enteroendocrine cells in response to a high-protein diet (HPD), is vital for suppressing overconsumption of protein. Gut-derived CCHa1 is received by a small subset of enteric neurons that produce short neuropeptide F, thereby modulating protein-specific satiety. Importantly, impairment of the CCHa1-mediated gut-enteric neuronal axis results in ammonia accumulation and a shortened lifespan under HPD conditions. Collectively, our findings unravel the crosstalk of gut hormone and neuronal pathways that orchestrate physiological responses to prevent and adapt to dietary protein overload.

kn-title=Direct insertion of an ion channel immobilized on a soft agarose gel bead into a lipid bilayer: an optimized method
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In this paper, we report the development of a device that improves the conventional artificial lipid bilayer method and can measure channel currents more efficiently. Ion channel proteins are an attractive research target in biophysics, because their functions can be measured at the single-molecule level with high time resolution. In addition, they have attracted attention as targets for drug discovery because of their crucial roles in vivo. Although electrophysiological methods are powerful tools for studying channel proteins, they suffer from low measurement efficiency and require considerable skill. In our previous paper, we reported that by immobilizing channel proteins on agarose gel beads and forming an artificial lipid bilayer on the bead surface, we simultaneously solved two problems that had been hindering the efficiency of the artificial bilayer method: the time-consuming formation of artificial lipid bilayers and the time-consuming incorporation of channels into artificial bilayers. Previous studies have utilized crosslinked hard beads; however, here we show that channel current measurement can be achieved more simply and efficiently using non-crosslinked soft beads. In this study, we detailed the process of immobilizing channel proteins on the surface of non-crosslinked beads through chemical modification, allowing us to measure their channel activity. This method enables current measurements without the need for stringent bead size selection or high negative pressure.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The reaction center-light harvesting 1 (RC-LH1) complex converts solar energy into electrical energy, driving the initiation of photosynthesis. The authors present a cryo-electron microscopy structure of the RC-LH1 isolated from a marine photoheterotrophic bacterium Dinoroseobacter shibae. The RC comprises four subunits, including a three-heme cytochrome (Cyt) c protein, and is surrounded by a closed LH ring composed of 17 pairs of antenna subunits. Notably, a novel subunit with an N-terminal “helix-turn-helix” motif embedded in the gap between the RC and the LH ring is identified. The purified RC-LH1 complex exhibits high stability in solutions containing Mg2+ or Ca2+. The periplasmic Cyt c2 is predicted to bind at the junction between the Cyt subunit and the membrane plane, enabling electron transfer from Cyt c2 to the proximal heme of the tri-heme Cyt, and subsequently to the special pair of bacteriochlorophylls. These findings provide structural insights into the efficient energy and electron transfer processes within a distinct type of RC-LH1, and shed light on evolutionary adaptations of photosynthesis.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In this study, we developed microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) for the determination of antioxidant vitamins. The proposed μPADs utilize the reduction of metal ions by hydrophilic and hydrophobic antioxidant vitamins, which is followed by colorimetric reactions with chelating reagents. Hydrophilic vitamin C reduces Fe(III) to Fe(II) and forms a stable Fe(II)-bathophenanthroline complex in an aqueous solution. By contrast, this complex is unstable in organic solvents, and hydrophobic vitamin E requires Fe(III) and bathophenanthroline to be replaced with Cu(II) and bathocuproine. In these results, the relationship between the logarithm of a vitamin's concentration and its color intensity was linear and ranged from 4.4 to 35 mg L?1 for ascorbic acid and 50?200 mg L?1 for α-tocopherol. The limits of detection, estimated from the standard deviation of blank samples, were 3.1 mg L?1 for ascorbic acid and either 27 mg L?1 (in hexane) or 48 mg L?1 (in ethanol) for α-tocopherol. The proposed method was used to quantify vitamin C in bell peppers, mandarin oranges, kiwifruit, and lemons, as well as vitamin E in almonds, almond milk, and dietary supplements. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of these μPADs for the practical analysis of antioxidant vitamins in food samples.

kn-abstract=This study was conducted to clarify the relationship between sleep disorders and frequency, or timing of dairy intake with 192 university students in Japan. Pearson’s chi-squared test was carried out to find the relationship between two groups of sleep disorders and the timing of dairy product intake (p = 0.034, df = 4, χ2 = 10.38). The sleep disorder occurred significantly less if participants took a dairy product in the morning (p = 0.004) and significantly more when participants took a dairy product in the afternoon (p = 0.028). The findings showed that consuming dairy products in the morning is effective in treating sleep disorders.

kn-title=Co-occurrence of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary embolism as adverse events of adjuvant osimertinib treatment for EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer: a case report
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Postoperative osimertinib for EGFR mutant non-small cell lung cancer has become the standard of care. However, its adverse events in clinical practice remain unclear. We report a case of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary embolism occurring simultaneously as adverse events during adjuvant osimertinib treatment.<br>
Case presentation A 74-year-old woman, diagnosed with left lower lobe lung adenocarcinoma harboring an EGFR mutation, underwent a left lower lobectomy with lymph node dissection. During adjuvant osimertinib therapy, the patient developed respiratory distress with hypoxia, leading to the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease. Despite immediate steroid therapy, respiratory distress persisted, the patient developed leg edema. She was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism via contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan. Following treatment with steroid and anticoagulation, her clinical symptoms improved rapidly, and she showed no recurrence of interstitial lung disease, pulmonary embolism, or lung cancer over the following nine months.<br>
Conclusions We encountered a case of interstitial lung disease and pulmonary embolism occurring simultaneously as adverse events during adjuvant osimertinib treatment. In patients with osimertinib-induced interstitial lung disease, particularly when respiratory symptoms show poor improvement with steroid treatment, the possibility of pulmonary embolism complications should be suspected.

kn-title=Relationship between media literacy and searching skills on report assignments in nursing students in Japan
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Objective: This study evaluates the relationship between information access and media literacy attitudes. We also assessed the impact of “Medical Literature Reading” on media literacy among Japanese university students. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2?16 and from August 2?16, 2024. A self-reporting questionnaire, including the school year, was used to determine if participants had taken the “Medical Literature Reading” course and to identify the sources often used for reporting assignments and media literacy. Results: This study included 195 subjects. The differences in media literacy scores between school years were analyzed. The total scores of fourth-year students were significantly higher than those of first-year on the media literacy scale (p = 0.014). The differences in media literacy scores among students enrolled in “Medical Literature Reading” were analyzed. The scores on the media literacy scale (p = 0.006) were significantly higher in participants than in non-participants. The relationships among the three groups by sources used for report assignments, school years (χ2(6) = 42.101, p < 0.0001), and history of taking “Medical Literature Reading” (χ2(2) = 7.048, p = 0.030) were also analyzed. Conclusions: Media literacy improved with schooling. Certain report assignments and subjects related to information literacy were found to have affected media literacy. Combining continuing experience and knowledge can lead to improvements in media literacy.

kn-title=Carnosol, a Rosemary Ingredient Discovered in a Screen for Inhibitors of SARM1-NAD+ Cleavage Activity, Ameliorates Symptoms of Peripheral Neuropathy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Sterile alpha and Toll/interleukin receptor motif-containing protein 1 (SARM1) is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) hydrolase involved in axonal degeneration and neuronal cell death. SARM1 plays a pivotal role in triggering the neurodegenerative processes that underlie peripheral neuropathies, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases. Importantly, SARM1 knockdown or knockout prevents the degeneration; as a result, SARM1 has been attracting attention as a potent therapeutic target. In recent years, the development of several SARM1 inhibitors derived from synthetic chemical compounds has been reported; however, no dietary ingredients with SARM1 inhibitory activity have been identified. Therefore, we here focused on dietary ingredients and found that carnosol, an antioxidant contained in rosemary, inhibits the NAD+-cleavage activity of SARM1. Purified carnosol inhibited the enzymatic activity of SARM1 and suppressed neurite degeneration and cell death induced by the anti-cancer medicine vincristine (VCR). Carnosol also inhibited VCR-induced hyperalgesia symptoms, suppressed the loss of intra-epidermal nerve fibers in vivo, and reduced the blood fluid level of phosphorylated neurofilament-H caused by an axonal degeneration event. These results indicate that carnosol has a neuroprotective effect via SARM1 inhibition in addition to its previously known antioxidant effect via NF-E2-related factor 2 and thus suppresses neurotoxin-induced peripheral neuropathy.

kn-title=Development of a Vinylated Cyclic Allene: A Fleeting Strained Diene for the Diels?Alder Reaction
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Fleeting molecules possessing strained multiple bonds are important components in organic synthesis due to their ability to undergo various chemical reactions driven by the release of strain energy. Although the use of strained π-bonds as 2π components, represented by dienophiles in Diels?Alder reactions, has been well studied, “the strained diene (4π component) approach” for molecular construction remains underexplored. Herein, we report the design of a vinyl cyclic allene (1-vinyl-1,2-cyclohexadiene) as a highly reactive strained diene and the development of its Diels?Alder reactions. Experimental and computational studies of vinyl cyclic allenes revealed that this diene system undergoes cycloaddition with dienophiles regio- and stereoselectively under mild reaction conditions. These studies also provide insight into the reactivity and selectivity of the system. The strained diene approach enables the convergent construction of polycyclic molecules through bond disconnections distinct from conventional retrosynthetic analysis, thus offering an efficient strategy for the assembly of functional molecules.

kn-title=Hemodynamic Changes After Wire Frame Occluders vs. Metal Mesh Devices for Atrial Septal Defect
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Transcatheter atrial septal defect (ASD) closure is the first treatment option for secundum ASD, but parameters for optimal device selection have not been established. We compared outcomes between occluders with a wire frame and metal mesh devices.<br>
Methods and Results: This study included secundum ASD patients implanted with a wire frame occluder (GORE?CARDIOFORM ASD occluder [GCA]; W.L. Gore & Associates) or metal mesh devices (Amplatzer septal occluder device [Abbott] and Occlutech Figulla Flex II device [Occlutech]). The presence of residual shunt and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels after implantation were compared. Of the 970 patients with either GCA (n=48) or a metal mesh device (n=922; control), 42 patients from each group were analyzed after propensity score matching. The prevalence of residual shunt was significantly lower in the GCA group 1 day and 1 month after implantation (P<0.001 and P=0.017, respectively), whereas there was no significant difference between the 2 groups 6 months later (P=0.088). BNP levels at 1 month were significantly higher in the GCA group (ratio of change 1.36; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01?1.83), but did not differ significantly between the 2 groups at 6 months (ratio of change 1.04; 95% CI 0.65?1.65).<br>
Conclusions: Patients implanted with a wire frame occluder had a lower prevalence of residual shunt and a greater increase in BNP levels in the early period after implantation.

kn-title=Short‐process incudo‐stapedioplasty in congenital ear malformation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Objectives: Although various stapedotomy and stapedectomy techniques exist, anchoring the piston can be challenging. We present a novel surgical approach for treating congenital stapes malformations with an atypical facial nerve trajectory.<br>
Methods: This is a case of a 7-year-old boy presenting with bilateral conductive hearing loss. Prior attempts at tympanoplasty had proven unsuccessful in improving his hearing. Presurgical imaging studies revealed an unusual anatomical configuration, with the facial nerve positioned inferior to the oval window. This anatomical variation precluded the use of conventional prosthesis-anchoring techniques typically employed in stapedotomies. Thus, we devised an innovative approach, opting to anchor the prosthesis to the short process of the incus.<br>
Results: This novel technique circumvented the atypical course of the facial nerve, allowing for successful reconstruction of the ossicular chain. The patient demonstrated an acceptable improvement (30?dB gain) in hearing 1-year post-surgery, with no reported complications.<br>
Conclusion: This case underscores the critical importance of adapting surgical techniques to address the unique anatomical challenges that may arise in the context of congenital ear malformations. It also highlights the potential of the short process of the incus as a viable alternative anchoring site for stapes prostheses, thereby improving the outcomes of such complex cases. This technique not only restored the patient's hearing but also contributed valuable insights into the management of similar cases, potentially improving the quality of life for individuals with rare and challenging anatomical variations.<br>
Level of evidence: 5.

kn-abstract=Background For breast cancer patients, postoperative lymphedema and upper limb movement disorders are serious complications that absolutely reduce their quality of life (QOL). To evaluate this serious complication, we used “Quick Dash” or “FACT-B”, which can assess a patient's physical, social, emotional, and functional health status. To evaluate their breast cancer surgery-related dysfunction correctly, “FACT-B?+?4” was created by adding four questions about “arm swelling'' and “tenderness”. We have translated it into Japanese according to international translation guidelines.<br>
Methods At the beginning, we contacted FACT headquarters that we would like to create a Japanese version of FACT-B?+?4. They formed the FACIT Trans Team (FACIT) following international translation procedures, and then, we began translating according to them. The steps are 1: perform “Forward and Reverse translations” to create a “Preliminary Japanese version”, 2: request the cooperation of 5 breast cancer patients and “conduct a pilot study” and “questionnaire survey”, and 3: amendments and final approval based on pilot study results and clinical perspectives.<br>
Result In Step1, FACIT requested faithful translation of the words, verbs, and nouns from the original text. In Step2, patients reported that they felt uncomfortable with the Japanese version words such as “numb'' and “stiffness'' and felt that it might be difficult to describe their symptoms accurately. In Step3, we readjusted the translation to be more concise and closer to common Japanese language, and performed “Step1” again to ensure that the translation definitely retained the meaning of the original.<br>
Conclusion A Japanese version of FACT has existed until now, but there was no Japanese version of FACT-B?+?4, which adds four additional items to evaluate swelling and pain in the upper limbs. This time, we have created a Japanese version that has been approved by FACT.

kn-title=Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome in idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease under treatment with tocilizumab
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a rare polyclonal lymphoproliferative disorder characterised by systemic inflammation resulting from overproduction of interleukin 6 (IL-6). While iMCD primarily affects the lymph nodes and related tissues, it can also rarely involve the central nervous system.<br>
Case presentation We report the case of a 58-year-old female patient with at least a 3-year history of iMCD, who experienced acute thunderclap headaches due to reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS). RCVS occurred 3?months after initiating treatment with tocilizumab, a humanised anti-IL-6 receptor monoclonal antibody, and was accompanied by focal cortical subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH). Elevated IL-6 levels were found in both serum and cerebrospinal fluid. MR angiography revealed multiple diffuse stenotic lesions in the bilateral middle and posterior cerebral arteries, which, along with bilateral cerebral oedema, resolved within 3?months. The diffuse nature of the cerebral vasospasm and the presence of bilateral brain oedema suggested that cerebral vasospasm was due to RCVS rather than SAH.<br>
Conclusions In patients with Castleman disease, RCVS may occur due to IL-6-dependent chronic cerebral vascular inflammation, either as a primary condition or as a complication of tocilizumab treatment.

kn-title=C1orf50 Drives Malignant Melanoma Progression Through the Regulation of Stemness
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background/Aim: Recent advancements in omics analysis have significantly enhanced our understanding of the molecular pathology of malignant melanoma, leading to the development of novel therapeutic strategies that target specific vulnerabilities within the disease. Despite these improvements, the factors contributing to the poor prognosis of patients with malignant melanoma remain incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of C1orf50 (Chromosome 1 open reading frame 50), a gene previously of unknown function, as a prognostic biomarker in melanoma.<br>
Materials and Methods: We performed comprehensive transcriptome data analysis and subsequent functional validation of the human Skin Cutaneous Melanoma project from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).<br>
Results: Elevated expression levels of C1orf50 correlated with worse survival outcomes. Mechanistically, we revealed that C1orf50 plays a significant role in the regulation of cell cycle processes and cancer cell stemness, providing a potential avenue for novel therapeutic interventions in melanoma.<br>
Conclusion: This study is the first to identify C1orf50 as a prognostic biomarker in melanoma. The clinical relevance of our results sheds light on the importance of further investigation into the biological mechanisms underpinning C1orf50’s impact on melanoma progression and patient prognosis.

kn-title=Dual functions of SNAP25 in mouse taste buds
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Type III cells in mouse taste buds are considered to transmit aversive stimuli, such as sourness, to the gustatory nerve through vesicular synapses. Synaptosome-associated protein 25 (SNAP25) might contribute to synaptic vesicular release in sour sensation, although direct evidence has been lacking. Here, we demonstrated that epithelia-specific Snap25 conditional knockout (cKO) mice exhibited a significant reduction in the number of type III cells. Notably, the proportion of 5-ethynyl 2′-deoxyuridine-positive post-mitotic type III cells in Snap25 cKO mice was significantly lower on tracing day 14, but not at day 7, which suggests that SNAP25 contributes to the maintenance of type III cells. In a short-term lick test, Snap25 cKO (sour taste absent) and Snap25/ transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 double KO (sour taste and somatosensory absent) mice exhibit a significantly higher lick response to sour tastants, confirming the role of SNAP25 for sour sensation. Electrophysiological recordings of the chorda tympani nerve reveal nearly abolished ammonium and sour taste responses in Snap25 cKO mice, which concludes sour-dependent synapse transmission in type III cells. Overall, these data suggest that vesicular synapses in taste buds are indispensable for transmission of information from, and the replenishment of, sour-sensitive type III taste cells.

kn-title=Managing Persistent Pupillary Membranes With Surgery or Medication: A Report of Three Cases
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The persistent pupillary membrane, as a congenital anomaly, is a remnant of a network of feeding blood vessels for the lens of the eye, called tunica vasculosa lentis. This study reports three patients with persistent pupillary membrane in both eyes who presented in different situations and were managed differently to achieve better vision. The first child (Case 1) who had been seen initially at the age of two years complained of severe photophobia even though he had good visual acuity, and hence, he and his family chose surgical resection of the pupillary membrane in both eyes at the age of six years just before the admission to an elementary school. He did not develop any surgical complications, such as cataract and glaucoma, and maintained the visual acuity in decimals of 1.2 in both eyes at the age of 17 years.<br>
The second child (Case 2), who was seen first at the age of one month, had persistent pupillary membranes in both eyes, together with Peters' anomaly in the left eye. The iris process adhesion to the corneal inner surface was visualized later by optical coherence tomography. She wore full-correction glasses and obtained the visual acuity of 0.7 in the right eye, so she had no problem studying at an elementary school. She used topical 1% atropine once a week in both eyes to maintain pupillary dilation and also used 0.5% timolol and 1% brinzolamide as pressure-lowering eye drops in the left eye with Peters' anomaly.<br>
The third patient (Case 3) with persistent pupillary membranes in both eyes complained of vision problems for the first time at the age of 49 years when she developed cataract. Surgical resection of the pupillary membrane was done in the initial phase of cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation in both eyes. At surgical resection of the pupillary membrane, a safe and efficient way was to cut the root of the pupillary membrane on the iris surface with scissors, and then the isolated tissues of the pupillary membrane were pulled out with forceps from the side port at the corneal limbus. Pathological examinations of the excised tissues showed blood vessels with red blood cells in the lumen. In such a rare congenital disease as the persistent pupillary membrane, a case-based approach to choose a better option in different conditions from individual to individual is still required to have a better vision in learning at school and in daily working life.

kn-title=International Consensus Histopathological Criteria for Subtyping Idiopathic Multicentric Castleman Disease Based on Machine Learning Analysis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder classified into three recognized clinical subtypes?idiopathic plasmacytic lymphadenopathy (IPL), TAFRO, and NOS. Although clinical criteria are available for subtyping, diagnostically challenging cases with overlapping histopathological features highlight the need for an improved classification system integrating clinical and histopathological findings. We aimed to develop an objective histopathological subtyping system for iMCD that closely correlates with the clinical subtypes. Excisional lymph node specimens from 94 Japanese iMCD patients (54 IPL, 28 TAFRO, 12 NOS) were analyzed for five key histopathological parameters: germinal center (GC) status, plasmacytosis, vascularity, hemosiderin deposition, and “whirlpool” vessel formation in GC. Using hierarchical clustering, we visualized subgroups and developed a machine learning-based decision tree to differentiate the clinical subtypes and validated it in an external cohort of 12 patients with iMCD. Hierarchical cluster analysis separated the IPL and TAFRO cases into mutually exclusive clusters, whereas the NOS cases were interspersed between them. Decision tree modeling identified plasmacytosis, vascularity, and whirlpool vessel formation as key features distinguishing IPL from TAFRO, achieving 91% and 92% accuracy in the training and test sets, respectively. External validation correctly classified all IPL and TAFRO cases, confirming the reproducibility of the system. Our histopathological classification system closely aligns with the clinical subtypes, offering a more precise approach to iMCD subtyping. It may enhance diagnostic accuracy, guide clinical decision-making for predicting treatment response in challenging cases, and improve patient selection for future research. Further validation of its versatility and clinical utility is required.

kn-title=Effects of Sampling Frequency on Human Activity Recognition with Machine Learning Aiming at Clinical Applications
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Human activity recognition using wearable accelerometer data can be a useful digital biomarker for severity assessment and the diagnosis of diseases, where the relationship between onset and patient activity is crucial. For long-term monitoring in clinical settings, the volume of data collected over time should be minimized to reduce power consumption, computational load, and communication volume. This study aimed to determine the lowest sampling frequency that maintains recognition accuracy for each activity. Thirty healthy participants wore nine-axis accelerometer sensors at five body locations and performed nine activities. Machine-learning-based activity recognition was conducted using data sampled at 100, 50, 25, 20, 10, and 1 Hz. Data from the non-dominant wrist and chest, which have previously shown high recognition accuracy, were used. Reducing the sampling frequency to 10 Hz did not significantly affect the recognition accuracy for either location. However, lowering the frequency to 1 Hz decreases the accuracy of many activities, particularly brushing teeth. Using data with a 10 Hz sampling frequency can maintain recognition accuracy while decreasing data volume, enabling long-term patient monitoring and device miniaturization for clinical applications.

kn-title=A Novel De Novo Variant in KCNH5 in a Patient with Refractory Epileptic Encephalopathy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We herein report a novel de novo KCNH5 variant in a patient with refractory epileptic encephalopathy. The patient exhibited seizures at 1 year and 7 months old, which gradually worsened, leading to a bedridden status. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed cerebral atrophy and cerebellar hypoplasia. A trio whole-exome sequence analysis identified a de novo heterozygous c.640A>C, p.Lys214Gln variant in KCNH5 that was predicted to be deleterious. Recent studies have linked KCNH5 to various epileptic encephalopathies, with many patients showing normal MRI findings. The present case expands the clinical spectrum of the disease, as it is characterized by severe neurological prognosis, cerebral atrophy, and cerebellar hypoplasia.

kn-title=Stability and water solubility of calcium ferrite-type aluminum-rich phase: implications for deep water cycle caused by subducting basaltic crusts
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The subducting crustal materials serve as a crucial channel for transporting water to the lower mantle. Recent experimental studies suggest that crustal materials such as basaltic crust can be a main water carrier and reservoir playing an important role on water cycling in the lower mantle. Despite being a primary mineral in crustal materials, the water solubility of calcium ferrite-type (CF) phase and its stability are unclear yet. A recent phase relation study of hydrous basalts showed Na-depletion in lower-mantle minerals, suggesting the presence of fluid possibly with high Na concentration and the absence of CF phase along the low-temperature slab geotherms, where Al-rich hydrous phase H and ferropericlase appear instead. These phases could consequently produce Na-depleted CF phase when reaching the dehydration temperature of Al-rich hydrous phase H. In this study, we investigated the stability and water solubility of CF-type MgAl2O4, which is a main CF component in a hydrous basalt, in water-bearing systems at 26?32 GPa and 1200?1900 °C using a Kawai-type multi-anvil press. Our results indicate that the stability of the CF phase is strongly influenced by water content in the system. Water contents of recovered CF phases estimated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy show a limited variation between 73 and 87 ppm wt at a pressure of 26 GPa and temperatures of 1500?1900 °C. We suggest that CF phase could not be a primary water carrier at lower mantle depths. This emphasizes contributions of hydrous aluminous silica minerals to Earth’s deep water cycling and heterogeneous structures in the lower mantle due to the strong water partitioning to this phase compared with other constituent minerals.

kn-abstract=Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), an X-linked leukodystrophy caused by pathogenic variants in ABCD1, exhibits a broad range of phenotypes from childhood-onset cerebral forms to adult-onset adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). We report a rare in-frame ABCD1 deletion c.1469_71delTGG (p.Val490del) in a man with AMN. Although this variant has been interpreted as ‘uncertain significance’ in ClinVar, biochemical analysis along with clinical evaluation confirmed the pathogenicity of this variant, underscoring the importance of functional assessment of in-frame deletions.

However, differences in the proportion of qualified personnel to irradiation techniques have caused bias in quality control systems among institutions. To standardize the quality across institutions, researchers should conduct mutual quality control by analyzing the quality control data of one institution at another institution and comparing the results with those of their own institutions. This study uses failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to identify potential risks in 12 radiation therapy institutions, compares the results before and after implementation of mutual quality control, and examines the utility of mutual quality control in risk reduction. Furthermore, a cost-effectiveness factor is introduced into FMEA to evaluate the utility of mutual quality control.

kn-title=Role of galectin-9 in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus

kn-abstract=Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is highly expressed in trophoblasts in placenta. Interaction between Gal-9 and T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin-domain containing-3 (Tim-3) is important for the differentiation of tissue resident natural killer (trNK) cells in placenta and maintenance of normal pregnancy. Furthermore, the enhanced maternal systemic inflammation associated with increased proinflammatory cytokines in preeclampsia is mediated by enhanced interaction between Gal-9 and Tim-3. However, the role of Gal-9 in gestational diabetes (GDM) remains unexplored. Plasma Gal-9 levels were elevated at 3rd trimester in pregnant women with GDM and positively correlated with placenta and newborn weight. Lgals9 knockout pregnant mice fed with high fat diet (HFD KO) demonstrated maternal glucose intolerance and fetus macrosomia compared with controls (HFD WT). In HFD KO, increased proliferating cells, reduced apoptosis, and autophagy impairment were observed in junctional zones. The number of trNK cells and percentage of Tim-3?+?trNK increased, while early apoptosis percentage in Tim-3?+?trNK was reduced in placenta of HFD KO. The elevation of plasma Gal-9 may be a biomarker for prediction of maternal glucose intolerance and fetal macrosomia in pregnant women with GDM and Gal-9 functions as a compensation factor for GDM by inducing apoptosis in Tim-3?+?trNK cells.

kn-title=Exploring the relationship between posture-dependent airway assessment in orthodontics: insights from kinetic MRI, cephalometric data, and three-dimensional MRI analysis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Previous studies have assessed the upper airway using various examination methods, such as cephalometric imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, there is a significant gap in the research regarding the relationship between these different imaging modalities. This study compares airway assessments using kinetic MRI and cephalometric scans, examining their correlation with three dimensional (3D) MRI data.<br>
Materials and methods Kinetic MRI, cephalometric scans, and 3D MRI of forty-seven participants were used in the present study. Airway areas and widths were measured at the retropalatal, retroglossal, and hypopharyngeal levels in both kinetic MRI and cephalometric scans. Airway volumes were calculated from 3D MRI data. Statistical analyses, including the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, Spearman correlation, and multiple linear regression, were performed to evaluate the data and identify significant differences, correlations, and prediction models, respectively.<br>
Results Significant differences were found between kinetic MRI and cephalometric scans. Cephalometric data showed larger airway areas and widths compared to kinetic MRI measurements. Although both cephalometric and kinetic MRI showed a correlation with 3D MRI, kinetic MRI demonstrated stronger correlations with 3D MRI airway volumes than cephalometric scans. According to our linear regression model equations, RPA-Max (maximum retropalatal airway area) and RPA (retropalatal airway area) can elucidate variations in RPV (retropalatal airway volume). RGA-Med (median retroglossal airway area) and RGA-Min (minimum retroglossal airway area) can explain variations in RGV (retroglossal airway volume). HPA (hypopharyngeal airway area) and ULHPAW-Max (maximum upper limit hypopharyngeal airway width) account for variations in HPV (hypopharyngeal airway volume). Additionally, TA-Max (maximum total airway area) can account for variations in TPV (total pharyngeal airway volume).ConclusionBoth cephalometric data and kinetic MRI data showed correlations with 3D MRI data. The shared posture of kinetic MRI and 3D MRI led to stronger correlations between these two modalities. Although cephalometric data had fewer correlations with 3D MRI and predictors for 3D airway volume, they were still significant. Our study highlights the complementary nature of kinetic MRI and cephalometric imaging, as both provide valuable information for airway assessment and exhibit significant correlations with 3D MRI data.

kn-title=Evaluating short-term survivors of glioblastoma: A proposal based on SEER registry data
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Glioblastomas (GBMs) are central nervous system tumors with a poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Although small subsets of GBM patients survive longer than 3 years, there is little evidence regarding the prognostic factors of GBM. Therefore, we conducted a thorough characterization of GBM in the United States.<br>
Methods: We queried the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between 2000 and 2021 to extract age-adjusted incidence rates (AAIRs), age-adjusted mortality rates (AAMRs), and survival data for GBM. We compared trends in AAIR, AAMR, and survival time across age groups 0?14, 15?39, 40?69, and 70+ years. Also, we employed the Fine?Gray competing risk model among short-term survivors (STSs), defined as those with a survival time of 6 months or less, and long-term survivors (LTSs), defined as those with a survival time of 3 years or more.<br>
Results: This study included 60 615 incident GBM cases, 54 998 GBM-specific deaths, and 47 207 GBM patients with available survival time between 2000 and 2021. The mortality-to-incidence ratio was constant among STSs, whereas it increased with age among LTSs. Higher age and male sex were significantly associated with GBM-specific death among LTSs, whereas non-Hispanic White and less intensive treatments were associated with GBM-specific deaths among STSs. Interestingly, higher age was significantly associated with other causes of death among STSs.<br>
Conclusions: STSs partially consist of populations who died from causes other than GBM. It is important to include only GBM-specific deaths in STS groups to conduct reproducible research comparing STSs and LTSs.

kn-title=Using a microfluidic paper-based analytical device and solid-phase extraction to determine phosphate concentration
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Phosphate is an essential nutrient, but in high concentrations it contributes to water pollution. Traditional methods for phosphate measurement, such as absorption spectrophotometry and ion chromatography, require expensive equipment and skilled operators. This study introduces a microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) that is designed to accomplish field-based, low-concentration phosphate measurements. This μPAD utilizes colorimetric detection based on the molybdenum blue method. Herein, we describe how the conditions were optimized in terms of design and sensitivity by adjusting reagent concentrations, paper thickness, and the time frames for sample introduction, and reaction. The operation consists of simply dipping the μPAD into a sample, capturing images in a home-made photo studio box, and processing the images with ImageJ software to measure RGB intensity. An additional preconcentration step involves solid-phase extraction with an anion exchange resin that achieves a 10-fold enrichment, which enables detection that ranges from 0.05 to 1 mg L?1 with a detection limit of 0.089 mg L?1 and a quantification limit of 0.269 mg L?1. The replicated measurements showed good reproducibility both intraday and interday (five different days) as 4.7 % and 3.0 % of relative standard deviations, respectively. After storage in a refrigerator for as long as 26 days, this μPAD delivered stable and accurate results for real-world samples of natural water, soil, and toothpaste. The results produced using this system correlate well with those produced via spectrophotometry. This μPAD-based method is a cost-effective, portable, rapid, and simple approach that allows relatively unskilled operators to monitor phosphate concentrations in field applications.

kn-title=Novel method of leukocytapheresis using a highly concentrated sodium citrate solution alternative to acid citrate dextrose solution A
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Large-volume leukocytapheresis is time consuming. The upper limit of the inlet flow rate is determined by the inlet: anticoagulant (AC) ratio and can be changed by combining the AC with heparin. Here, we devised a protocol to increase the AC ratio using a highly concentrated sodium citrate solution without heparin.<br>
Study Design and Methods: We collected data from 40 consecutive apheresis procedures performed using the Spectra Optia system on 40 donors for allogeneic peripheral blood stem cells between June 2022 and June 2023. We used AC containing 2.2% sodium citrate (normal concentrated sodium citrate [NSC]) and 5.32% sodium citrate (highly concentrated sodium citrate [HSC]). The AC ratios were set to 12:1 and 24:1 for the NSC and HSC, respectively.<br>
Results: The processed volume was not different; the maximum inlet flow rate increased, the total processing time was reduced, the AC solution used was reduced, and the product volume was reduced in the HSC group, compared to the NSC group. Although the CD34+ cell CE2 was reduced in the HSC group, no difference was observed in the number of collected CD34+ cells. The incidences of citrate-related reactions were similar.<br>
Discussion: We propose a novel leukocytapheresis method using HSC that shortens the procedure time and reduces the amount of AC solution used compared to the conventional method

kn-title=Efficient diagnosis for endoscopic remission in Crohn's diseases by the combination of three non-invasive markers
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Serum C-reactive protein (CRP), leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein (LRG), and fecal calprotectin (Fcal) are non-invasive markers used to assess Crohn's disease (CD) severity. However, the accuracy of these markers alone is often limited, and most previous reports have evaluated the efficacy of each marker individually. We aimed to improve the diagnostic performance of endoscopic remission (ER) of CD by combining these 3 markers.<br>
Methods We tested the diagnostic ability of various combinations of these 3 markers for endoscopic severity in 230 consecutive patients with CD from September 2014 to July 2023. The modified Simple Endoscopic Score for Crohn's disease (mSES-CD) was used to determine endoscopic severity.<br>
Results Each of the 3 markers was correlated with mSED-CD (LRG: r = 0.69, CRP: r = 0.60, and Fcal: r = 0.67). A combination of 2 of the 3 markers did not increase the diagnostic accuracy of ER. However, by combining all 3 markers, the diagnostic ability for ER was improved in comparison to the diagnostic ability of the 3 individual markers, assuming that ER was obtained if 2 or 3 markers were negative. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 89%, 83%, and 86%, respectively. Additionally, we established a 2-step method using Fcal values after evaluating the 2 serum markers. This method was most useful for reducing both the patient burden and costs.<br>
Conclusions The newly established 2-step method allowed for a higher accuracy in the non-invasive diagnosis of ER when the 3 markers were combined.

kn-title=Structure of a photosystem II-FCPII supercomplex from a haptophyte reveals a distinct antenna organization
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Haptophytes are unicellular algae that produce 30 to 50% of biomass in oceans. Among haptophytes, a subset named coccolithophores is characterized by calcified scales. Despite the importance of coccolithophores in global carbon fixation and CaCO3 production, their energy conversion system is still poorly known. Here we report a cryo-electron microscopic structure of photosystem II (PSII)-fucoxanthin chlorophyll c-binding protein (FCPII) supercomplex from Chyrostila roscoffensis, a representative of coccolithophores. This complex has two sets of six dimeric and monomeric FCPIIs, with distinct orientations. Interfaces of both FCPII/FCPII and FCPII/core differ from previously reported. We also determine the sequence of Psb36, a subunit previously found in diatoms and red algae. The principal excitation energy transfer (EET) pathways involve mainly 5 FCPIIs, where one FCPII monomer mediates EET to CP47. Our findings provide a solid structural basis for EET and energy dissipation pathways occurring in coccolithophores.

kn-title=A Case of Aniline Poisoning Manifesting as Cyanosis with Unknown Cause
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=A 38-year-old man was brought to the hospital for emergency treatment of cyanosis. The patient exhibited generalized cyanosis and impaired consciousness despite adequate oxygen therapy. Arterial blood was black, and arterial blood gas analysis revealed an abnormally high methemoglobin level of 67.8%. We later interviewed his colleagues regarding his exposure to aniline while working at the factory and diagnosed him with methemoglobinemia due to aniline poisoning. The patient was administered methylene blue (MB) after being transferred to another hospital, where this treatment was available, resulting in an improvement in symptoms. Although rare, methemoglobinemia is serious. A good understanding of the circumstances at disease onset, characteristic findings, and abnormal values of methemoglobinemia is important. In addition, MB is an important therapeutic for the treatment of methemoglobinemia; if MB is not available at a particular hospital, transfer of the patient to a hospital that stocks MB should be considered.

kn-title=Emotional Changes among Young Patients with Breast Cancer to Foster Relationship-Building with Their Partners: A Qualitative Study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=We investigated the emotional changes that young patients with breast cancer need to undergo in order to foster relationship-building with their partners by conducting a qualitative descriptive study (March 1 to Nov. 26, 2021) and semi-structured interviews with eight postoperative patients (age 20-40 years) with breast cancer. The data were analyzed using the modified grounded theory approach (M-GTA), yielding five categories: (i) Awareness of being a breast cancer patient, (ii) Being at a loss, (iii) Support from significant others, (iv) The struggle to transition from being a patient with cancer to becoming “the person I want to be”, and (v) Reaching the “me” I want to be who can face building a relationship with a partner. These findings suggest that young breast cancer patients must feel that they can lead a normal life through activities such as work or acquiring qualifications before building relationships with their partners, and that getting closer to their desired selves is important. Nurses can provide information to young patients with breast cancer to assist them in building a solid relationship with their partners. We believe that this support may enhance the patients’ quality of life and help them achieve stronger relationships with their partners.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=This prospective observational study investigated the clinical status of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy+an immune checkpoint inhibitor (chemo + IO) as first-line treatment in a real-world setting. The cases of 98 patients treated with chemo + IO were prospectively collected and analyzed for effectiveness and safety. The response rate to chemo + IO was 46.9%, and the disease control rate was 76.5%. The median progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) in the total population were 5.2 and 22.3 months, respectively. The patients positive for PD-L1 (? 1%) showed significantly longer OS than the negative group (<1%) (median 26.7 vs. 18.7 months, p=0.04). Pre-existing interstitial lung disease (ILD) was associated with shorter OS than the absence of ILD (median 9.0 vs. 22.6 months, p<0.01). Immunerelated adverse events (irAEs) were observed in 28 patients (28.6%). The most frequent irAE was ILD (n=11); Grade 1 (n=1 patient), G2 (n=5), G3 (n=4), and only a single patient with a G5 irAE. In this CS-Lung-003 study, first-line chemo + IO in a real-world setting showed good effectiveness, comparable to that observed in international clinical trials. In real-world practice, chemo + IO is a promising and steadfast strategy.

kn-title=Continuous Stimulation with Glycolaldehyde-derived Advanced Glycation End Product Reduces Aggrecan and COL2A1 Production via RAGE in Human OUMS-27 Chondrosarcoma Cells
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Chondrocytes are responsible for the production of extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen type II alpha-1 (COL2A1) and aggrecan, which are loosely distributed in articular cartilage. Chondrocyte dysfunction has been implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatic diseases such as osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). With age, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate in all tissues and body fluids, including cartilage and synovial fluid, causing and accelerating pathological changes associated with chronic diseases such as OA. Glycolaldehyde-derived AGE (AGE3), which is toxic to a variety of cell types, have a stronger effect on cartilage compared with other AGEs. To understand the long-term effects of AGE3 on cartilage, we stimulated a human chondrosarcoma cell line (OUMS-27), which exhibits a chondrocytic phenotype, with 10 μg/ml AGE3 for 4 weeks. As a result, the expressions of COL2A1 and aggrecan were significantly downregulated in the OUMS-27 cells without inducing cell death, but the expressions of proteases that play an important role in cartilage destruction were not affected. Inhibition of the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) suppressed the AGE3-induced reduction in cartilage component production, suggesting the involvement of RAGE in the action of AGE3.

kn-title=Immunometabolic Regulation of Innate Immunity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Pathogens or their components can induce long-lasting changes in the behavior of innate immune cells, a process analogous to “training” for future threats or environmental adaptation. However, such training can sometimes have unintended consequences, such as the development of autoimmunity. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic and heterogeneous autoimmune disease characterized by the production of autoantibodies and progressive organ damage. Innate immunity plays a central role in its pathogenesis, contributing through impaired clearance of apoptotic cells, excessive type I interferon production, and dysregulated formation of neutrophil extracellular traps. Recent studies have revealed that metabolites and nucleic acids derived from mitochondria, a crucial energy production site, directly regulate type I interferon and anti-inflammatory cytokine production. These insights have fueled interest in targeting metabolic pathways as a novel therapeutic approach for SLE, offering promise for improving long-term patient outcomes.

kn-abstract=We investigate the intertwining of Laguerre processes of parameter α in different dimensions. We introduce a Feller kernel that depends on α and intertwines the α-Laguerre process in N + 1 dimensions and that in N dimensions. When α is a non-negative integer, the new kernel is interpreted in terms of the conditional distribution of the squared singular values: if the singular values of a unitarily invariant random matrix of order (N+α+1)×(N+1) are fixed, then the those of its (N+α) × N truncation matrix are given by the new kernel.

kn-title=Outcomes of ultra-high-pressure balloon angioplasty for congenital heart disease in single-center experience
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Angioplasty using ultra-high-pressure (UHP) balloons may successfully treat stenotic lesions refractory to high-pressure dilation. The use of UHP balloons in patients with congenital heart disease is mostly for dilation of the pulmonary artery, and there have been few reports on the effectiveness and safety of balloons for other sites. We retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of the ultra-high-pressure balloon angioplasty (UHP-BA) for stenotic lesions in patients with congenital heart disease between January 2020 and December 2022 at Okayama University Hospital. A total of 78 UHP-BAs were performed in 44 patients, with a median age of 6.6 years and a median weight of 17.6 kg. The balloon types used in the UHP-BAs were Yoroi? and Conquest?. UHP-BA performed 39 procedures for the pulmonary artery (PA), 24 for fenestration, 8 for SVC, 4 for shunt, and three for others. The lesion-specific acute procedural success rates for PA, Fontan fenestration, SVC, and shunt were 77%, 75%, 88%, and 75%, respectively. A complication of UHP-BA occurred in 3.8% (3/78). Two of the three patients had pulmonary hemorrhage, and the remaining patients had pulmonary artery embolization due to the migration of a thrombus. There were no fatal complications. Balloon dilation with UHP balloons was safe and effective not only for pulmonary artery stenotic lesions but also for SVC, Fontan fenestration, shunt, and other dilation sites in patients with congenital heart disease.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In this study we introduce indoline hemiaminals as phenacyl bromide surrogates for the synthesis of deaminokynurenine derivatives through cyclic-linear tautomeric intermediates. The reaction proceeds through a tandem process involving the ring opening of indoline hemiaminals, generating transient acyclic aldehydes which are then trapped with in situ generated enolate species. Our protocol overcomes traditional dilemma in production of polar-mismatch 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds by utilizing a transient highly electrophilic linear aldehyde and late-stage transposition of carbonyl moiety. The synthetic utility of our transformation was demonstrated by follow-up transformations, including the first total synthesis of quinoline-2,4-dione alkaloid.

kn-title=Comprehensive analysis of adverse event profile changes with pertuzumab addition to trastuzumab‐based breast cancer therapy: Disproportionality analysis using VigiBase
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Aims: Pertuzumab is used in combination with trastuzumab-based therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer. However, real-world safety information on pertuzumab remains limited. This study assessed the safety of adding pertuzumab to trastuzumab-based therapy for HER2-positive breast cancer using real-world data.<br>
Methods: VigiBase, the World Health Organization's global database of adverse events (AEs), containing reports from November 1967 to December 2023, was used. Signals for pertuzumab-associated AEs in breast cancer cases were detected using the reporting odds ratio (ROR).<br>
Results: Signals of trastuzumab plus pertuzumab relative to trastuzumab alone were detected in gastrointestinal disorders (ROR: 1.45, 95% confidence interval: 1.26?1.67), including diarrhoea (3.49, 2.83?4.30); infections and infestations (1.54, 1.24?1.91); and skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders (ROR: 1.63, 1.40?1.90), including pruritus (1.96, 1.51?2.55) and rash (1.63, 1.20?2.23). Further, signals of trastuzumab plus docetaxel plus pertuzumab relative to those of trastuzumab plus docetaxel were detected in gastrointestinal disorders (1.63, 1.38?1.93), including nausea (1.72, 1.24?2.39) and vomiting (1.48, 1.01?2.17), and in nervous system disorders (1.50, 1.20?1.87), including paraesthesia (2.60, 1.33?5.08) and peripheral sensory neuropathy (5.94, 1.79?19.71). The frequency of AEs causing or prolonging hospitalization was increased with trastuzumab plus pertuzumab compared to that with trastuzumab alone (1.18, 1.00?1.38).<br>
Conclusions: AE profiles after the addition of pertuzumab to trastuzumab-based therapy were comprehensively identified. The findings in this study highlight the importance of considering these AEs when selecting pertuzumab combination therapy to ensure the safety of patients with breast cancer.

kn-title=Xenopus laevis as an infection model for human pathogenic bacteria
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Animal infection models are essential for understanding bacterial pathogenicity and corresponding host immune responses. In this study, we investigated whether juvenile Xenopus laevis could be used as an infection model for human pathogenic bacteria. Xenopus frogs succumbed to intraperitoneal injection containing the human pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Listeria monocytogenes. In contrast, non-pathogenic bacteria Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli did not induce mortality in Xenopus frogs. The administration of appropriate antibiotics suppressed mortality caused by S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. Strains lacking the agr locus, cvfA (rny) gene, or hemolysin genes in S. aureus, LIPI-1-deleted mutant of L. monocytogenes, which attenuate virulence within mammals, exhibited reduced virulence in Xenopus frogs compared with their respective wild-type counterparts. Bacterial distribution analysis revealed that S. aureus persisted in the blood, liver, heart, and muscles of Xenopus frogs until death. These results suggested that intraperitoneal injection of human pathogenic bacteria induces sepsis-like symptoms in Xenopus frogs, supporting their use as a valuable animal model for evaluating antimicrobial efficacy and identifying virulence genes in various human pathogenic bacteria.

kn-title=Metamorphic pressure-temperature conditions of garnet granulite from the Eastern Iratsu body in the Sambagawa belt, SW Japan
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Several coarse-grained mafic bodies with evidence for eclogite-facies metamorphism are present in the Besshi area of the Sambagawa subduction-type metamorphic belt, SW Japan. Among them the granulite-bearing Eastern Iratsu metagabbro body involves an unresolved problem of whether it originated in the hanging-wall or footwall side of the subduction zone. The key to settle this problem is its relationship with the adjacent Western Iratsu metabasaltic body, which includes thick marble layer and certainly has the footwall ocean-floor origin. Several previous studies consider that the Western and Eastern Iratsu bodies were originally coherent in the footwall side and formed the shallower and deeper parts of a thick oceanic crust, respectively. The validity of this hypothesis may be assessed by deriving pressure-temperature history of the Eastern Iratsu body, or especially the pressure (depth) condition of the granulite-facies metamorphism before the eclogite-facies overprinting because, if the pressure was relatively high, the oceanic crust assumed in the above hypothesis might be too thick to tectonically achieve the present-day adjacence of the two bodies on the geological map. This study petrologically analyzes a garnet-bearing granulite from the Eastern Iratsu body and newly reports stable coexistence of garnet and orthopyroxene in the sample. By utilizing a garnet-orthopyroxene geothermobarometer, the minimum P-T conditions of the granulite-facies stage was estimated to be 0.8 GPa (? 27 km in depth) and 780 °C. If the Western and Eastern Iratsu bodies were assumed to have formed a coherent oceanic crust before their subduction, the original thickness of it was >27 km and this demands unusually strong ductile shortening (<1/9) or unrealistically large vertical displacement on intraplate faulting, suggesting invalidity of the assumption. The Western and Eastern Iratsu bodies, therefore, are originally bounded by subduction-boundary fault and the obtained pressure of 0.8 GPa can be interpreted to represent that of the hanging-wall lower continental crust in the subduction zone, where the Eastern Iratsu body originated. After the granulite-facies metamorphism, the Western Iratsu body, which was located near the footwall surface, initiated subduction and was subsequently juxtaposed with the above-located Eastern Iratsu body at the corresponding depth (? 27 km or greater) along the subduction boundary.

kn-title=Genomic Islands of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci 6605: Identification of PtaGI-1 as a Pathogenicity Island With Effector Genes and a Tabtoxin Cluster
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Genomic islands (GIs) are 20-500 kb DNA regions that are thought to be acquired by horizontal gene transfer. GIs that confer pathogenicity and environmental adaptation have been reported in Pseudomonas species; however, GIs that enhance bacterial virulence have not. Here, we identified 110 kb and 103 kb GIs in P. syringae pv. tabaci 6605 (Pta6605), the causative agent of tobacco wildfire disease, which has the ability to produce tabtoxin as a phytotoxin. These GIs are partially homologous to known genomic islands in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and P. syringae pv. phaseolicola and were designated PtaGI-1 and PtaGI-2. Both PtaGIs conserve core genes, whereas each GI possesses different accessory genes. PtaGI-1 contains a tabtoxin biosynthetic gene cluster and three type III effector genes among its accessory genes, whereas PtaGI-2 also contains homologous genes to hsvABC, pathogenicity-related genes in Erwinia amylovora. Inoculation revealed that the PtaGI-1 mutant, but not the PtaGI-2 mutant, lost the ability to biosynthesise tabtoxin and to cause disease. Therefore, PtaGI-1 is thought to be a pathogenicity island. Both PtaGI-1 and PtaGI-2 have a pseudogene of tRNALys on the left border and an intact tRNALys gene on the right border. In a colony of Pta6605, both GIs can be excised at tRNALys, and PtaGI-1 and PtaGI-2 exist in a circular form. These results indicate that tabtoxin biosynthesis genes in PtaGI-1 are required for disease development, and PtaGI-1 is necessary for Pta6605 virulence.

kn-title=Comparative inhibitory effects of bepotastine and diphenhydramine on rituximab-induced infusion reactions
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Purpose Infusion-related reaction (IRR) is a common adverse event induced by rituximab. Although first-generation histamine 1 receptor antagonists (H1RAs) are commonly used to prevent IRR, evidence on IRR suppression by the second-generation H1RA bepotastine is scarce. In this study, we assessed the inhibitory effects of bepotastine on rituximab-induced IRR and compared them with those of the first-generation H1RA diphenhydramine.<br>
Methods We retrospectively evaluated IRR incidence in patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who received their first dose of rituximab.<br>
Results The incidence of any grade IRR was 9.8% in the bepotastine group (n?=?92), which was significantly lower than the 30.2% rate in the diphenhydramine group (n?=?96; p?<?0.001). The incidence of grade 2 or higher IRR was similar between the two groups (6.5% vs. 12.5%; p?=?0.16). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk of any grade IRR incidence was higher in patients with B symptoms and bulky disease. Premedication with bepotastine was an independent factor in reducing the risk of any grade IRR incidence (odds ratio?=?0.19, 95% confidence interval: 0.08?0.47).<br>
Conclusion Bepotastine may be more effective than diphenhydramine in reducing the incidence of rituximab-induced IRR, particularly low-grade reactions.

kn-title=HIF-PH inhibitors induce pseudohypoxia in T cells and suppress the growth of microsatellite stable colorectal cancer by enhancing antitumor immune responses
en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Recent studies have revealed that CD8+ T cells can be activated via genetic upregulation of HIF-1 alpha, thereby augmenting antitumor effector functions. HIF-1 alpha upregulation can be attained by inhibiting HIF-prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) under normoxic conditions, termed pseudohypoxia. This study investigated whether pseudohypoxia induced by HIF-PH inhibitors suppresses Microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) by affecting tumor immune response.<br>
Methods The HIF-PH inhibitors Roxadustat and Vadadustat were utilized in this study. In vitro, we assessed the effects of HIF-PH inhibitors on human and murine colon cancer cell lines (SW480, HT29, Colon26) and murine T cells. In vivo experiments were performed with mice bearing Colon26 tumors to evaluate the effect of these inhibitors on tumor immune responses. Tumor and spleen samples were analyzed using immunohistochemistry, RT-qPCR, and flow cytometry to elucidate potential mechanisms.<br>
Results HIF-PH inhibitors demonstrated antitumor effects in vivo but not in vitro. These inhibitors enhanced the tumor immune response by increasing the infiltration of CD8+ and CD4+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). HIF-PH inhibitors induced IL-2 production in splenic and intratumoral CD4+ T cells, promoting T cell proliferation, differentiation, and immune responses. Roxadustat synergistically enhanced the efficacy of anti-PD-1 antibody for MSS cancer by increasing the recruitment of TILs and augmenting effector-like CD8+ T cells.<br>
Conclusion Pseudohypoxia induced by HIF-PH inhibitors activates antitumor immune responses, at least in part, through the induction of IL-2 secretion from CD4+ T cells in the spleen and tumor microenvironment, thereby enhancing immune efficacy against MSS CRC.

kn-title=TRPV2 mediates stress resilience in mouse cardiomyocytes
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The heart dynamically compensates for haemodynamic stress, but how this resilience forms during cardiac growth is not clear. Using a temporally inducible, cardiac-specific knockout in mice we show that the Transient receptor potential vanilloid family 2 (TRPV2) channel is crucial for the maturation of cardiomyocyte stress resilience. TRPV2 defects in growing hearts lead to small morphology, abnormal intercalated discs, weak contractility, and low expression of serum response factor and Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) signalling. Individual cardiomyocytes of TRPV2-deficient hearts show reduced contractility with abnormal Ca2+ handling. In cultured neonatal cardiomyocytes, mechanical Ca2+ response, excitation-contraction coupling, sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ content, actin formation, nuclear localisation of Myocyte enhancer factor 2c, and IGF-1 expression require TRPV2. TRPV2-deficient hearts show a defective response to dobutamine stress and no compensatory hypertrophic response to phenylephrine administration, but no stress response to pressure overload. These data suggest TRPV2 mediates the maturation of cardiomyocyte stress resilience, and will advance therapeutic interventions and drug discovery for heart disease.

kn-title=High Antigenicity for Treg Cells Confers Resistance to PD-1 Blockade Therapy via High PD-1 Expression in Treg Cells
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Regulatory T (Treg) cells have an immunosuppressive function, and programmed death-1 (PD-1)-expressing Treg cells reportedly induce resistance to PD-1 blockade therapies through their reactivation. However, the effects of antigenicity on PD-1 expression in Treg cells and the resistance to PD-1 blockade therapy remain unclear. Here, we show that Treg cells gain high PD-1 expression through an antigen with high antigenicity. Additionally, tumors with high antigenicity for Treg cells were resistant to PD-1 blockade in vivo due to PD-1+ Treg-cell infiltration. Because such PD-1+ Treg cells have high cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen (CTLA)-4 expression, resistance could be overcome by combination with an anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibody (mAb). Patients who responded to combination therapy with anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 mAbs sequentially after primary resistance to PD-1 blockade monotherapy showed high Treg cell infiltration. We propose that the high antigenicity of Treg cells confers resistance to PD-1 blockade therapy via high PD-1 expression in Treg cells, which can be overcome by combination therapy with an anti-CTLA-4 mAb.

kn-abstract=　Introduction : Clinical research is crucial for the advancement of medicine, but modern otolaryngologists' attitudes regarding clinical research have not been known. This study was conducted to survey the background, knowledge, and interest in clinical research among junior and mid-career otolaryngologists.<br>
　Methods : A questionnaire survey was distributed to 34 otolaryngologists with ?15 years' clinical experience working at Okayama University and its affiliated facilities. The respondents were divided into junior (non-specialists) and mid-career otolaryngologists (specialists) based on whether they were board-certified otolaryngologists. The survey assessed their background, understanding, and interest in clinical research.<br>
　Results : Twenty-nine otolaryngologists (83%) responded (10 junior and 19 mid-career otolaryngologists). There was significant individual variation in their interest and knowledge of clinical research. However, approximately half of the respondents indicated that they were not interested in and/or had never engaged in clinical research.<br>
　Conclusion : The data collected by this survey contribute to our understanding of the current state of clinical research engagement among junior and mid-career otolaryngologists, and they can serve as a basis for exploring future strategies to increase this engagement.

kn-title=南西諸島の前弧域における付加体を含む堆積層のモデル化
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=　We combine the recent seismic reflection profiles to construct a new seismic velocity model of the sedimentary layer incorporating the accretionary prism along the Ryukyu trench. In constructing the new model, we refer to the zoning (ZONE1 to ZONE4) identified by Okamura et al. (2017, Tectonophys.). The construction process consists of the following steps: First, we digitize either unconformities or VP=4 to 5 km/s lines as the seismic basement, whichever is more clearly identifiable. Second, the digitized thickness data of the sedimentary layer from the reflection profiles are geometrically modeled and interpolated to make the three-dimensional structure model. Finally, we supplement the external region of the constructed 3-D sedimentary model using the J-SHIS model provided by the NIED to complete the velocity structure model in the entire Ryukyu arc. The main features of our model are as follows: In ZONE1, off Ishigaki-jima island, the thick sedimentary layer extends about 50 km wide from the Ryukyu trench. In ZONE2, off Miyako-jima island, the thinner layer compared to the other zones is found near the trench, with a thin sedimentary terrace covering the area behind it. In ZONE3, off Okinawa-jima island, the sedimentary layer deepens as it approaches the trench. In ZONE4, off Tokara islands, the deepest layer among all zones is identified. We then conduct 3-D finite-difference simulations of seismic wave propagation using the new and the previous models to confirm the improvement of the new model. In the simulations, the effects of the accretionary prism along the Ryukyu trench on the seismic wave propagation are clearly identified.

kn-title=Lymphatic flow dynamics under exercise load assessed with thoracic duct ultrasonography
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The thoracic duct (TD) is the largest lymphatic vessel proximal to the venous system. It undergoes morphological changes in response to lymph flow from the periphery, with automatic contraction controlling the dynamics to propel lymph toward the venous system. Recent advancements in ultrasonography have facilitated non-invasive observations of the TD’s terminal, including its valve and wall motions. Observations of TD movements allow predictions of lymphatic flow dynamics. However, no studies have yet documented the changes in the TD under exercise-induced lymph flow enhancement in humans. Here, using 18-MHz high-frequency ultrasonography, we demonstrate for the first time that the TD diameter significantly expands under exercise load. This study analyzed 20 participants; the maximum TD diameters at rest and post-exercise were 2.69?±?1.06 mm and 3.41?±?1.32 mm, respectively (p?=?0.00000056). While various methods exist for observing the TD, our approach?dynamically monitoring the TD diameter using sonography in real time and correlating it with lymphatic flow dynamics?offers a novel contribution.

kn-title=A mini-hairpin shaped nascent peptide blocks translation termination by a distinct mechanism
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Protein synthesis by ribosomes produces functional proteins but also serves diverse regulatory functions, which depend on the coding amino acid sequences. Certain nascent peptides interact with the ribosome exit tunnel to arrest translation and modulate themselves or the expression of downstream genes. However, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms of such ribosome stalling and its regulation remains elusive. In this study, we systematically screen for unidentified ribosome arrest peptides through phenotypic evaluation, proteomics, and mass spectrometry analyses, leading to the discovery of the arrest peptides PepNL and NanCL in E. coli. Our cryo-EM study on PepNL reveals a distinct arrest mechanism, in which the N-terminus of PepNL folds back towards the tunnel entrance to prevent the catalytic GGQ motif of the release factor from accessing the peptidyl transferase center, causing translation arrest at the UGA stop codon. Furthermore, unlike sensory arrest peptides that require an arrest inducer, PepNL uses tryptophan as an arrest inhibitor, where Trp-tRNATrp reads through the stop codon. Our findings illuminate the mechanism and regulatory framework of nascent peptide-induced translation arrest, paving the way for exploring regulatory nascent peptides.

kn-title=An Implementation of Creep Test Assisting System with Dial Gauge Needle Reading and Smart Lighting Function for Laboratory Automation
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=For decades, analog dial gauges have been essential for measuring and monitoring data at various industrial instruments including production machines and laboratory equipment. Among them, we focus on the instrument for creep test in a mechanical engineering laboratory, which evaluates material strength under sustained stress. Manual reading of gauges imposes significant labor demands, especially in long-duration tests. This burden further increases under low-lighting environments, where poor visibility can lead to misreading data points, potentially compromising the accuracy of test results. In this paper, to address the challenges, we implement a creep test assisting system that possesses the following features: (1) to save the installation cost, a web camera and Raspberry Pi are employed to capture images of the dial gauge and automate the needle reading by image processing in real time, (2) to ensure reliability under low-lighting environments, a smart lighting mechanism is integrated to turn on a supplementary light when the dial gauge is not clearly visible, and (3) to allow a user to stay in a distant place from the instrument during a creep test, material break is detected and the corresponding message is notified to a laboratory staff using LINE automatically. For evaluations, we install the implemented system into a material strength measuring instrument at Okayama University, Japan, and confirm the effectiveness and accuracy through conducting experiments under various lighting conditions.

kn-title=Anticoagulant effects of edoxaban in cancer and noncancer patients with venous thromboembolism
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Edoxaban, a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC), is a first-line treatment for venous thromboembolism (VTE) and the suppression of VTE recurrence. In patients with cancer, however, recurrent VTE after DOAC treatment may be more common than in noncancer patients. To evaluate our hypothesis that the anticoagulation effect of edoxaban is lower in VTE patients with cancer than in noncancer patients.<br>
Methods This study was a prospective, multicenter, observational study including patients treated with edoxaban for VTE in Japan. The primary outcome was the difference in the prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and D-dimer level at 5 h after initial edoxaban administration between the cancer and noncancer groups. An additional outcome was the longitudinal change in PT and APTT from 5 h to overnight after edoxaban administration. The incidence of adverse events was further investigated.<br>
Results PT and APTT at 5 h after initial edoxaban administration were not significantly different between the cancer (n = 84) and noncancer groups (n = 138) (e.g., log-transformed APTT 3.55 vs. 3.55, p = 0.45). However, D-dimer in the cancer groups was significantly greater than that in the noncancer groups (log-transformed 1.83 vs. 1.79, p = 0.009). PT and APTT significantly decreased from 5 h to overnight after edoxaban, but a similar pattern was observed in each group. All adverse events after edoxaban administration were also similar between patients with cancer and noncancer.<br>
Conclusion PT and APTT after edoxaban administration were similar between VTE patients with cancer and noncancer groups, suggesting that edoxaban has anticoagulation effects on cancer-associated VTE similar to those of noncancer patients.<br>

kn-title=ADAR1-high tumor-associated macrophages induce drug resistance and are therapeutic targets in colorectal cancer
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is considered the third most common type of cancer worldwide. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have been shown to promote drug resistance. Adenosine-to-inosine RNA-editing, as regulated by adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR), is a process that induces the posttranscriptional modification of critical oncogenes. The aim of this study is to determine whether the signals from cancer cells would induce RNA-editing in macrophages.<br>
Methods The effects of RNA-editing on phenotypes in macrophages were analyzed using clinical samples and in vitro and in vivo models.<br>
Results The intensity of the RNA-editing enzyme ADAR1 (Adenosine deaminase acting on RNA 1) in cancer and mononuclear cells indicated a strong positive correlation between the nucleus and cytoplasm. The ADAR1-positive mononuclear cells were positive for CD68 and CD163, a marker for M2 macrophages. Cancer cells transport pro-inflammatory cytokines or ADAR1 protein directly to macrophages via the exosomes, promoting RNA-editing in AZIN1 (Antizyme Inhibitor 1) and GLI1 (Glioma-Associated Oncogene Homolog 1) and resulting in M2 macrophage polarization. GLI1 RNA-editing in the macrophages induced by cancer cells promotes the secretion of SPP1, which is supplied to the cancer cells. This activates the NF kappa B pathway in cancer cells, promoting oxaliplatin resistance. When the JAK inhibitors were administered, oncogenic RNA-editing in the macrophages was suppressed. This altered the macrophage polarization from M2 to M1 and decreased oxaliplatin resistance in cancer cells.<br>
Conclusions This study revealed that ADAR1-high TAMs are crucial in regulating drug resistance in CRC and that targeting ADAR1 in TAMs could be a promising treatment approach for overcoming drug resistance in CRC.

kn-title=Characteristics of Early Gastric Cancer in a Patient with a History of Helicobacter pylori Infection and No History of Eradication Therapy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Objective The characteristics of gastric cancer in patients with atrophic mucosa and no apparent history of Helicobacter pylori eradication have not been thoroughly investigated. Therefore, this study examined the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer in these patients.<br>
Methods We retrospectively examined the endoscopic and pathological characteristics of gastric cancer in patients who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection.<br>
Patients We divided the patients into 2 groups: those with gastric atrophy and no history of eradication (group A; n=102) and those with a history of eradication (group B; n=161). In group A, patients were further divided into mild atrophy (group C) and severe atrophy (group D) groups, while group B was further divided into those who underwent eradication treatment >5 years ago (group E) and those who underwent eradication 1-5 years ago (group F).<br>
Results Group A comprised significantly older individuals (75±8.0 vs. 71±7.5 years old, p<0.001) with a higher frequency of elevated gastric cancer than group B (32.4% vs. 17.4%, p=0.006). Compared with group E, group A was older and had a greater incidence of elevated gastric cancer. The incidence of gastric cancer in the U or M region was lower in group C than in group D.<br>
Conclusion Gastric cancer in patients with gastric atrophy and no history of eradication was associated with an older age and higher frequency of elevated-type morphology than in those with a history of eradication.

kn-title=Quantitative assessment of adhesive effects on partial and full compressive strength of LVL in the edge-wise direction
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Laminated wood-based materials have been widely developed, and the laminating process and adhesive itself have been reported to enhance performance beyond the sum of the individual layers' performance. This phenomenon is particularly notable under loads applied in the "edge-wise direction", where each layer bears stress collectively. These combined effects are referred to as the "adhesive effect". Strength under partial compressive loads is critical in timber engineering, as partial compressive stress generates complex stress distributions influenced by boundary conditions. The adhesive effect may also be impacted by these conditions. The aim of this study was to quantitatively and directly evaluate the adhesive effect under partial and full compressive loads using various parameters. The strength of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) with adhesive was compared to that of simply layered veneers without adhesive to assess the adhesive effect. Three mechanisms contributing to the adhesive effect were proposed: Mechanism I, caused by the deformation of the adhesive layer independently from the veneers; Mechanism II, resulting from the adhesive impregnating the veneers; and Mechanism III, arising from the reinforcement provided by adjacent veneers. The results suggested the following: (i) Mechanism I had minimal impact, as the fiber direction and the presence of additional length showed strong and slight effects on the adhesive effect, respectively; (ii) Mechanism II contributed to preventing crack propagation and altering the relationships among mechanical properties, with its effectiveness increasing as the adhesive weight increased; and (iii) Mechanism III functioned as a crossband effect, reinforcing weaknesses caused by the slope of the grain and the angle of the annual rings.

kn-title=Frequency and Characteristics of Gastrointestinal Diseases in Patients With Neurofibromatosis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background and Aim: Patients with neurofibromatosis (NF) frequently experience gastrointestinal symptoms, but the specific characteristics of these lesions are not well understood.<br>
Methods: To investigate the prevalence and nature of gastrointestinal diseases in this population, we analyzed the gastrointestinal lesions identified through endoscopic examinations in patients with NF.<br>
Results: We included 225 patients with NF type 1 (NF1) and 15 with NF type 2 (NF2). None of the NF2 patients underwent endoscopy. Among the NF1 patients, 27 received endoscopies, and 13 (59%) had gastrointestinal lesions. These 13 patients were predominantly male (10 males and three females), with a median age of 53 years (range: 19-76 years). The identified lesions included colorectal polyps (n = 6), gastrointestinal stromal tumors ([GIST], n = 4), subepithelial lesions (n = 3), gastric fundic gland polyps (n = 3), diffuse intestinal ganglioneuromatosis (n = 2), esophageal polyps (n = 2), a Schwann cell hamartoma (n = 1), esophageal cancer (n = 1), and a gastric hyperplastic polyp (n = 1). All GISTs and one case of diffuse intestinal ganglioneuromatosis were surgically resected. Interestingly, six out of 13 patients were asymptomatic. Additionally, all patients who required surgery were 40 years of age or older.<br>
Conclusions: These findings suggest that routine endoscopic examinations, along with imaging techniques like computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, could be beneficial for the early detection of gastrointestinal lesions in NF1 patients aged 40 and above.

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=In thoracic esophageal cancer, lymph node dissection around the recurrent laryngeal nerve is crucial but poses a risk of nerve palsy, affecting postoperative quality of life. In cases with an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), the right recurrent laryngeal nerve is absent, and the non-recurrent inferior laryngeal nerve (NRILN) enters the larynx directly from the vagus nerve in the cervical region. Identifying the course of the NRILN is vital to avoid injury. A case of esophageal cancer with an ARSA, in which the course of the NRILN was preserved using the Nerve Integrity Monitoring (NIM) system during surgery, is described.

kn-title=Relationship between Personality Traits and Postpartum Depressive Symptoms in Women who Became Pregnant via Infertility Treatment
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The status of postpartum depression was elucidated herein with the use of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in women in Shikoku, Japan who became pregnant and gave birth after undergoing infertility treatment, including assisted reproductive technology (ART). The assessment was performed during their children’s 4-month health examination. The relationships between postpartum depression and the mothers’ background factors and scores on the Big Five personality traits scale were also examined. Of the Big Five personality traits, the scores for neuroticism were significantly higher in the ART group (n=71) than in the general infertility treatment (n=118) and natural pregnancy (n=872) groups. No significant differences in EPDS scores were seen among these three groups. A logistic regression analysis showed that neuroticism was associated with an EPDS score ≧9 points, (which is suggestive of postpartum depression, ) in all groups. Moreover, although a long-standing marriage had an inhibitory effect on postpartum depression in the natural pregnancy group, no such trend was seen in the ART group, which included many women with long-standing marriages. Particularly for women who become pregnant by ART, an individualized response that pays close attention to the woman’s personality traits is needed.

kn-title=Effectiveness of Postoperative Irradiation in Patients with cN0 Early Breast Cancer Treated with Sentinel Lymph Node Surgery
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=To evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative irradiation (POI) for patients with cN0 early breast cancer, we retrospectively analyzed the cases of 650 consecutive breast cancer patients who underwent sentinel lymph node (SLN)-guided surgery (2005-2022) at our hospital. In this cohort, 53% (278/521) of the patients who underwent breast conservative surgery (BCS) and 96% (124/129) of those treated with mastectomy did not receive POI. The patients who underwent BCS were treated with POI using opposing tangential field irradiation. A false negative (FN) SLN was retrospectively defined as a negative metastasis in SLN plus positive recurrence in the axillary lymph nodes. Recurrence was detected in 83 patients. A logistic regression analysis revealed that the nuclear grade (odds ratio [OR] 1.69), POI (OR 0.41), and postoperative hormone therapy (OR 0.40) were each significantly related to recurrence. The 26.1% (12/46) FN rate of the non-POI patients decreased to 5.8% (1/17) compared to those treated with POI. The rate of axillary recurrence was significantly lower in the POI group (0.4%) versus the non-POI group (2.7%) (p=0.0355). The rate of locoregional recurrence was also significantly lower in the POI group (2.0%) versus the non-POI group (13.4%) (p<0.0001). No significant difference was observed in the rate of distant recurrence between the POI (4.0%) and non-POI (3.3%) (p=0.831) groups. These results indicated that the postoperative opposing tangential field irradiation of conserved breast tissue inhibited recurrence in the axillary lymph nodes.

kn-title=Lower Work Engagement Is Associated with Insomnia, Psychological Distress, and Neck Pain among Junior and Senior High School Teachers in Japan
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=School teachers are subject to both physical and mental health problems. We examined cross-sectional relationships between work engagement and major health outcomes among junior and senior high school teachers in Japan via a nationwide survey in 2019-2020. A total of 3,160 respondents were included in the analyses (19.9% response rate). Work engagement was assessed with the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-9 (UWES-9), and we thus divided the teachers into quartiles according to their UWES-9 scores. Based on validated questionnaires, we assessed insomnia, psychological distress, and neck pain as health outcomes. A binomial logistic regression adjusted for age, gender, school type, teacher’s roles, involvement in club activities, division of duties, employment status, and whether they lived with family demonstrated that the teachers with lower UWES-9 scores had higher burdens of insomnia, psychological distress, and neck pain (odds ratios [95% confidence intervals] in 4th vs. 1st quartile, 2.92 (2.34-3.65), 3.70 (2.81-4.88), and 2.12 (1.68-2.68), respectively; all trend p<0.001). There were no significant differences in these associations between full-time and part-time teachers. Our findings indicate that low work engagement may contribute to physical and mental health issues among junior and senior high school teachers, thus providing insights for preventing health problems in this profession.

kn-title=Potential for Radiation Dose Reduction in Temporal Bone CT Imaging Using Photon-Counting Detector CT
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Temporal bone computed tomography (CT) is frequently performed for pediatric patients with ear diseases. Advances in CT technology have improved diagnostic imaging quality, but reduction of radiation exposure remains a goal. We evaluated the potential for radiation dose reduction in temporal bone CT examinations using porcine ear ossicles and a photon-counting detector CT system. Three scans of the bilateral temporal bone were performed on each of three pig cadaver heads. In each of seven successive imaging sessions, the radiation dose was reduced by an additional one-seventh of the recommended dose (RD). Two board-certified radiologists independently scored the resulting images on a scale of 1 to 5 points, where 5 represented the image quality at the RD. Images scoring ?4.5 points were considered acceptable. Noise was assessed in a 2-cm-diameter region near the ear ossicles, and standard deviation was measured for each of the seven decrements from the RD. As the radiation dose decreased, the noise progressively increased, and visual assessment scores progressively decreased. Acceptable image scores were obtained at six-sevenths (4.9), five-sevenths (4.8), four-sevenths (4.7), and three-sevenths (4.6) of the RD. Thus, acceptable porcine temporal bone CT images were obtained with a radiation dose reduction of approximately 50%.

kn-title=Association between the Pretreatment Body Mass Index and Anamorelin’s Efficacy in Patients with Cancer Cachexia: A Retrospective Cohort Study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Anamorelin (ANAM) is used to treat cancer-associated cachexia, a syndrome involving muscle loss and anorexia. The timing of the initiation of ANAM treatment is crucial to its efficacy. Although the body mass index (BMI) is a diagnostic criterion for cancer cachexia, no studies have explored its association with ANAM efficacy. We conducted a single-center, retrospective cohort study to investigate the association between the pre-treatment BMI and ANAM efficacy in patients with cancer-associated cachexia (n=47). The ANAM treatment was considered effective if the patient’s appetite improved within 30 days of treatment initiation. We calculated a BMI cutoff value (19.5 kg/m2) and used it to divide the patients into high- and low-BMI groups. Their background, clinical laboratory values, cancer types, and treatment lines were investigated. Twenty (42.6%) had a high BMI (? 19.5 kg/m2) and 27 (57.4%) had a low BMI (< 19.5 kg/m2). High BMI was significantly associated with ANAM effectiveness (odds ratio 7.86, 95% confidence interval 1.99-31.00, p=0.003). Together these results indicate that it is beneficial to initiate ANAM treatment before a patient’s BMI drops below 19.5 kg/m2. Our findings will help advance cancer cachexia treatment and serve as a reference for clinicians to predict ANAM’s efficacy.

kn-title=Association of emergency intensive care unit occupancy due to brain-dead organ donors with ambulance diversion
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Our study aims to explore how intensive care unit (ICU) occupancy by brain-dead organ donors affects emergency ambulance diversions. In this retrospective, single-center study at an emergency ICU (EICU), brain-dead organ donors were managed until organ procurement. We classified each day between August 1, 2021, and July 31, 2023, as either an exposure day (any day with a brain-dead organ donor in the EICU from admission to organ procurement) or a control day (all other days). The study compared these days and used multiple logistic regression analysis to assess the impact of EICU occupancy by brain-dead organ donors on ambulance diversions. Over two years, 6,058 emergency patients were transported by ambulance, with 1327 admitted to the EICU, including 13 brain-dead organ donors. Brain-dead donors had longer EICU stays (17 vs. 2 days, P < 0.001). With 168 exposure and 562 control days, EICU occupancy was higher on exposure days (75% vs. 67%, P = 0.003), leading to more ambulance diversions. Logistic regression showed exposure days significantly increased ambulance diversions, with an odds ratio of 1.79 (95% CIs 1.10-2.88). This study shows that managing brain-dead organ donors in the EICU leads to longer stays and higher occupancy, resulting in more frequent ambulance diversions. These findings highlight the critical need for policies that optimize ICU resource allocation while maintaining the infrastructure necessary to support organ donation programs and ensuring continued care for brain-dead donors, who play an essential role in addressing the organ shortage crisis.

kn-title=Surgical protocol of robotic liver resection using a two-surgeon technique (TAKUMI-3): a technical note and initial outcomes
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background Internationally, evidence supporting robotic liver resection (RLR) has gradually increased in recent years. However, a standardized protocol for RLR remains lacking. This study describes a surgical protocol and the initial outcomes of RLR in a high-volume center for robotic hepatopancreatobiliary surgery in Japan.<br>
Methods Patients were placed in the reverse Trendelenburg position, with a supine position for anterolateral tumors and left lateral position for posterosuperior tumors. Our standard RLR protocol involved a two-surgeon technique. Liver parenchymal transection was performed by an assistant using the clamp crush technique with a console, with or without a laparoscopic Cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator (CUSA). Surgical techniques, including the tips, tricks, and pitfalls of RLR, are also demonstrated.<br>
Results We performed 113 RLR at our institution for common primary diseases, including hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 52, 46.0%) and metastatic tumors (n = 48, 42.5%) between July 2022 and December 2024. The median operative time and estimated blood loss were 156 min (interquartile range [IQR], 121-209 min) and 20 mL (IQR, 0-100 mL), respectively. During liver parenchymal transection, a laparoscopic CUSA was used in 59 patients (52.2%), and a water-jet scalpel was used in 12 patients (10.6%). The incidence of mortality, major complications, and bile leakage was 0%, 6.2%, and 2.7%, respectively. The median hospital stay was 7 days (IQR, 6-9 days).<br>
Conclusions We successfully introduced an RLR program using the two-surgeon technique. Safe implementation of RLR can be achieved upon completion of the training program and thorough understanding of the surgical protocols.

kn-title=The association between objectively measured physical activity and home blood pressure: a population-based real-world data analysis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Few studies have examined the association of objectively measured habitual physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior with out-of-office blood pressure (BP). We investigated the associations of objectively measured PA intensity time, sedentary time, and step count with at-home BP. Using accelerometer-recorded PA indices and self-measured BP in 368 participants (mean age, 53.8 years; 58.7% women), we analyzed 115,575 records of each parameter between May 2019 and April 2024. PA intensities were categorized as light (2.0?2.9 metabolic equivalents [METs]); moderate (3.0?5.9 METs); vigorous (?6.0 METs), or sedentary (<2.0 METs): the median [interquartile ranges] for these variables was 188 [146?232], 83 [59?114], 1 [0?2], 501 [428?579] minutes, respectively, and for step count, was 6040 [4164?8457]. Means [standard deviations] for systolic and diastolic BP were 116.4 [14.2] and 75.2 [9.3] mmHg, respectively. A mixed-effect model adjusted for possible confounders showed that 1-h longer in vigorous PA was associated with lower systolic and diastolic BP (?1.69 and ?1.09?mmHg, respectively). A 1000-step increase in step count was associated with lower systolic and diastolic BP (?0.05 and ?0.02?mmHg, respectively). Associations were more pronounced among men and participants aged <60 years. Sedentary time was positively associated with BP in men and participants aged <60 years, but inversely associated with BP in women and participants aged ?60 years. Our findings suggest that more PA and less sedentary behavior were associated with BP reduction, particularly among men and participants aged <60 years. However, the clinical relevance of this effect remains uncertain because of its modest magnitude.

en-subtitle=

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The disruption of transactive response DNA binding protein 43?kDa (TDP-43) shuttling leads to the depletion of nuclear localization and the cytoplasmic accumulation of TDP-43. We aimed to evaluate the mechanism underlying the behavior of TDP-43 in ischemic stroke. Adult male C57BL/6?J mice were subjected to 30 or 60?min of transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO), and examined at 1, 6, and 24?h post reperfusion. Immunostaining was used to evaluate the expression of TDP-43, G3BP1, HDAC6, and RAD23B. The total and cytoplasmic number of TDP-43?positive cells increased compared with sham operation group and peaked at 6?h post reperfusion after tMCAO. The elevated expression of G3BP1 protein peaked at 6?h after reperfusion and decreased at 24?h after reperfusion in ischemic mice brains. We also observed an increase of expression level of HDAC6 and the number of RAD23B-positive cells increased after tMCAO. RAD23B was colocalized with TDP-43 24?h after tMCAO. We proposed that the formation of stress granules might be involved in the mislocalization of TDP-43, based on an evaluation of G3BP1 and HDAC6. Subsequently, RAD23B, may also contribute to the downstream degradation of mislocalized TDP-43 in mice tMCAO model.

kn-title=Bilateral Scleritis and Neutrophilic Dermatosis With Cytogenetic Chromosomal Aberrancy Related to Pyoderma Gangrenosum: A Case Report of a 20-Year Follow-Up
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Pyoderma gangrenosum is a non-infectious autoimmune disease with skin plaques and ulcers in the entity of neutrophilic dermatosis and may have a background of myelodysplastic syndromes. This study reported a 20-year follow-up of a patient with pyoderma gangrenosum and scleritis who showed chromosomal aberrancy from the initial phase and later in the course developed thrombocythemia. A 51-year-old man presented with widespread indurated erythematous plaques with scaling and pustules on the forehead, bilateral eyelids, and nasal bridge, in addition to nodular scleritis in the left eye and ulcer formation of the plaques in the lower legs. Skin biopsy revealed massive dermal infiltration mainly with neutrophils in the absence of neutrophilic vasculitis. Suspected of myelodysplastic syndromes, bone marrow biopsy was normal, while chromosomal aberrancy, 46, XY, del (20) (q11q13.3), was detected. In the diagnosis of neutrophilic dermatosis, probably of pyoderma gangrenosum, he began to have oral prednisolone 20 mg daily and colchicine 1 mg daily, leading to the subsidence of skin lesions. Four months later, he developed nodular scleritis in the right eye and began to use topical 0.1% betamethasone in both eyes. He was stable with only prednisolone 12.5 mg daily until the age of 55.5 years, when he showed an increase of serum lactate dehydrogenase. The bone marrow aspirate disclosed neither blast cell increase nor atypical cells. The same chromosomal aberrancy was repeatedly detected. One year later, he developed breathing difficulty and underwent tracheostomy. Laryngeal lesion biopsy disclosed squamous cell papilloma with human papillomavirus-6. At 60 years old, he showed marginal corneal infiltration in the left eye, and at 61 years old, hypopyon in the right eye. Platelets tended to increase up to 1000 × 103/?L, and bone marrow examinations were recommended but refused by the patient. At the latest follow-up at 71 years old, he was ambulatory in health and stable with a tracheostomy cannula. In conclusion, pyoderma gangrenosum with scleritis occurred in an undetermined hematological malignancy with chromosomal aberrancy.

kn-title=Primary chest wall sarcoma: advances in surgical management and outcomes
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Purpose Although rare, primary chest wall sarcomas are complex malignancies necessitating optimal local control and comprehensive treatment. This study aimed to review 9 years of cases of primary chest wall sarcomas at a single institution, focusing on their histology, surgical management, and prognosis.<br>
Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 19 patients undergoing chest wall resection for sarcoma from 2012 to 2020. Data on demographics, tumor specifics, resection extent, and adjuvant therapies were collected. Surgical and postoperative outcomes were also assessed.<br>
Results The median patient age was 64 years. Chondrosarcoma was the most common histology. R0 resection was achieved in all patients, with early postoperative complications occurring in 11% of the patients. Robust chest wall reconstruction was performed, resulting in minimal respiratory complications. The 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival rates were 94% and 68%, respectively. Tumor size and patient age were significant prognostic factors for local recurrence.<br>
Conclusion Comprehensive surgical resection, coupled with multidisciplinary preoperative planning, achieves favorable outcomes. Patients aged???70 years and with tumor size???5 cm (P?=?.047) should be carefully followed up for local recurrence.

kn-abstract=In this paper, we propose a method for computing genus 1 Gromov-Witten invariants of Calabi-Yau and Fano projective hypersurfaces using the B-model. Our formalism is applicable to both Calabi-Yau and Fano cases. In the Calabi-Yau case, significant cancellation of terms within our formalism occurs, resulting in an alternative representation of the BCOV-Zinger formula for projective Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces.

kn-abstract=In order for companies to innovate through business co-creation, it is necessary to explore a wide range of external knowledge and technologies. However, there is no clear answer as to how much time should be spent for exploration. Under these circumstances, companies must take into account constraints such as the amount of management resources that can be invested, and make decisions about the time to spend for exploration. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the process of how companies that have introduced corporate accelerator program recognize the relationship between the program period and the results of business co-creation, and how they make decisions about the program period. We conducted a case study of several companies that have introduced corporate accelerator program in Japan. In addition, this paper established a hypothesis about decision-making about the time for exploration from case studies.

kn-title=The preoperative flexion tear gap affects postoperative meniscus stability after pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tear
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background We investigated whether the preoperative flexion tear gap (FTG) observed in open magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) affects meniscus stability after medial meniscus (MM) posterior root (MMPR) repairs. Furthermore, time-correlated MRI findings from MMPR tear occurrence were evaluated. <br>
Methods This retrospective observational study included 54 patients (mean age, 64.6 years; 13 males and 41 females) who underwent pullout repair for radial degenerative MMPR tear. Meniscus stability (scored 0-4 points) was assessed using a semi-quantitative arthroscopic scoring system during second-look arthroscopy 1 year postoperatively. The FTG was evaluated on preoperative axial MRI at 90 degrees knee flexion. Other MRI measurements included MM extrusion (MME) at 10 degrees knee flexion, MM posterior extrusion (MMPE) at 90 degrees knee flexion, and MM posteromedial extrusion (MMpmE) at 90 degrees knee flexion preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. The correlation between the arthroscopic stability score and MRI findings was investigated. A receiver-operating characteristic curve was calculated to predict a good meniscus healing score (3-4 points). The correlation between the FTG and patient demographics, including time from injury to MRI, was analyzed. <br>
Results At 1 year postoperatively, MME increased by 1.1 mm, while MMpmE and MMPE decreased by 0.4 mm and 1.0 mm, respectively. The meniscus stability score was negatively correlated with the preoperative FTG (r = -0.61, p < 0.01). The time from injury to MRI was significantly correlated with the preoperative FTG. The receiver-operating characteristic curve identified an FTG cut-off value of 8.7 mm for predicting good postoperative stability, with sensitivity and specificity of 67% and 85%, respectively. <br>
Conclusions FTG evaluated with open MRI at 90 degrees knee flexion was associated with time from injury and affected meniscus stability following pullout repair. MMPR tears should be treated in the early phase to increase meniscus healing stability.

kn-abstract=K. Brown [1] studied the random to top shuffle (the Tsetlin libary) by semigroup method. In this paper, (i) we extend his results to the colored permutation groups, and (ii) we consider a q-analogue of Tsetlin library which is different from what is studied in [1]. In (i), the results also extends those results for the top to random shuffle [4],[5], [6] to arbitrary distribution of choosing cards, but we still have derangement numbers in the multiplicity of each eigenvalues. In (ii), a version of q-analogue of derangement numbers by Chen-Rota [3] appears in the multiplicity of eigenvalues.

kn-abstract=An alternating sign matrix (ASM for short) is a square matrix which consists of 0, 1 and ?1. In this paper, we characterize an ASM by showing a bijection between alternating sign matrix and six vertex model, and a bijection between six vertex model and height function.
In order to show these bijections, we define a triplet (ai,j , ci,j , ri,j) for each entry of an ASM. We also define a track for each index of height function, and state more properties of height function.

kn-abstract=The Sobolev inequality shows that the supremum of a function defined on a whole line is estimated from the above by constant multiples of the potential energy. Among such constants, the smallest constant is the best constant. If we replace a constant by the best constant in the Sobolev inequality, then the equality holds for the best function. The aim of this paper is to find the best constant and the best function. In the background, there is a bending problem of a string with a rectangular spring constant. The Green function is an important function because the best constant and the best function consist of the Green function.

kn-abstract=A polynomial f(x) ∈ Z[x] of degree N is called monogenic if f(x) is irreducible over Q and {1, θ, θ2, . . . , θN?1} is a basis for the ring of integers of Q(θ), where f(θ) = 0. Define F(x) := xm+Axm?1+B. In this article, we determine sets of conditions on m, A, and B, such that
the power-compositional trinomial F(xpn) is monogenic for all integers n ? 0 and a given prime p. Furthermore, we prove the actual existence of infinite families of such trinomials F(x).

en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The present paper aims to generalize a result by H. Kaji on Gauss maps in positive characteristic and establish an interaction with the study of dormant opers and Frobenius-projective structures. We prove a correspondence between dormant opers on a smooth projective variety and closed immersions into a projective space with purely inseparable Gauss map. By using this, we determine the subfields of the function field of a smooth curve in positive characteristic induced by Gauss maps. Moreover, this correspondence gives us a Frobenius-projective structure on a Fermat hypersurface.

kn-title=Investigating the Effects of Reconstruction Conditions on Image Quality and Radiomic Analysis in Photon-counting Computed Tomography
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Introduction:Photon-counting computed tomography (CT) is equipped with an adaptive iterative reconstruction method called quantum iterative reconstruction (QIR), which allows the intensity to be changed during image reconstruction. It is known that the reconstruction conditions of CT images affect the analysis results when performing radiomic analysis. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of QIR intensity on image quality and radiomic analysis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).<br>
Materials and Methods:The QIR intensities were selected as off, 2 and 4. The image quality evaluation items considered were task-based transfer function (TTF), noise power spectrum (NPS), and low-contrast object specific contrast-to-noise ratio (CNRLO). The influence on radiomic analysis was assessed using the discrimination accuracy of clear cell RCC.<br>
Results:For image quality evaluation, TTF and NPS values were lower and CNRLO values were higher with increasing QIR intensity; for radiomic analysis, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were higher with increasing QIR intensity. Principal component analysis and receiver operating characteristics analysis also showed higher values with increasing QIR intensity.<br>
Conclusion:It was confirmed that the intensity of the QIR intensity affects both the image quality and the radiomic analysis.

kn-title=Gingipain regulates isoform switches of PD-L1 in macrophages infected with Porphyromonas gingivalis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is believed to possess immune evasion capabilities, but it remains unclear whether this immune evasion is related to host gene alternative splicing (AS). In this study, RNA-sequencing revealed significant changes in both AS landscape and transcriptomic profile of macrophages following P. gingivalis infection with/without knockout of gingipain (a unique toxic protease of P. gingivalis). P. gingivalis infection increased the PD-L1 transcripts expression and selectively upregulated a specific coding isoform that more effectively binds to PD-1 on T cells, thereby inhibiting immune function. Biological experiments also detected AS switch of PD-L1 in P. gingivalis-infected or gingipain-treated macrophages. AlphaFold 3 predictions indicated that the protein docking compatibility between PD-1 and P. gingivalis-upregulated PD-L1 isoform was over 80% higher than another coding isoform. These findings suggest that P. gingivalis employs gingipain to modulate the AS of PD-L1, facilitating immune evasion.

kn-title=Development of density measurement at high pressure and high temperature using the x-ray absorption method combined with laser-heated diamond anvil cell
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=The densities of liquid materials at high pressures and high temperatures are important information to understand the elastic behavior of liquids at extreme conditions, which is closely related to the formation and evolution processes of the Earth and planetary interiors. The x-ray absorption method is an effective method to measure the density of non-crystalline materials at high pressures. However, the temperature condition of the x-ray absorption method using a diamond anvil cell (DAC) has been limited to 720 K to date. To significantly expand the measurable temperature condition of this method, in this study, we developed a density measurement technique using the x-ray absorption method in combination with a laser-heated DAC. The density of solid Ni was measured up to 26 GPa and 1800 K using the x-ray absorption method and evaluated by comparison with the density obtained from the x-ray diffraction. The density of solid Ni with a thickness >17 μm was determined with an accuracy of 0.01%?2.2% (0.001?0.20 g/cm3) and a precision of 0.8%?1.8% (0.07?0.16 g/cm3) in the x-ray absorption method. The density of liquid Ni was also determined to be 8.70 ± 0.15?8.98 ± 0.38 g/cm3 at 16?23 GPa and 2230?2480 K. Consequently, the temperature limit of the x-ray absorption method can be expanded from 720 to 2480 K by combining it with a laser-heated DAC in this study.

kn-title=Novel Therapeutic Algorism in Patients With Anterior Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Syndrome
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Anterior cutaneous nerve entrapment syndrome (ACNES) is often overlooked as a cause of chronic abdominal pain. Trigger point injections (TPIs) serve as both a diagnostic and therapeutic tool. Although neurectomy is frequently chosen for patients with severe ACNES, its surgical outcomes remain unclear.<br>
Aim: This study aims to evaluate both the short- and long-term outcomes for neurectomy and propose a novel therapeutic algorithm.<br>
Methods: A cohort of postoperative patients presenting with ACNES between 2016 and 2023 was retrospectively evaluated. Patients received a single diagnostic TPI. When the pain subsided, an anterior neurectomy was performed using either an anterior or laparoscopic approach. Pain scores were assessed using the numeric rating scale (NRS).<br>
Results: Among 37 patients (60% females, mean age 33.8?±?3.4?years), 29 patients (78.4%) experienced pain recurrence following initial neurectomy. Of these, 22 patients underwent repeat neurectomies, resulting in complete remission in 15 patients and no benefit in 7 patients. Long-term outcomes showed that 62.2% achieved clinical remission (NRS?=?0), whereas 8.1% reported reduced but persistent pain (NRS 1?2). Preoperative TPI effectiveness was a strong predictor of surgical success, with patients achieving post-TPI NRS (0?1) significantly more likely to attain remission (p?=?0.0074). Older age was also associated with higher remission rates (p?=?0.0476).<br>
Conclusion: TPI is critical for predicting neurectomy success. These findings support the integration of preoperative TPI evaluation and tailored surgical strategies to optimize outcomes for patients with ACNES.

kn-title=Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 3 Is Involved in Glutamatergic Signalling in Podocytes
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Glomerular podocytes act as a part of the filtration barrier in the kidney. The activity of this filter is regulated by ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Adjacent podocytes can potentially release glutamate into the intercellular space; however, little is known about how podocytes release glutamate. Here, we demonstrated vesicular glutamate transporter 3 (VGLUT3)-dependent glutamate release from podocytes. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that rat glomerular podocytes and an immortal mouse podocyte cell line (MPC) express VGLUT1 and VGLUT3. Consistent with this finding, quantitative RT-PCR revealed the expression of VGLUT1 and VGLUT3 mRNA in undifferentiated and differentiated MPCs. In addition, the exocytotic proteins vesicle-associated membrane protein 2, synapsin 1, and synaptophysin 1 were present in punctate patterns and colocalized with VGLUT3 in MPCs. Interestingly, approximately 30% of VGLUT3 colocalized with VGLUT1. By immunoelectron microscopy, VGLUT3 was often observed around clear vesicle-like structures in differentiated MPCs. Differentiated MPCs released glutamate following depolarization with high potassium levels and after stimulation with the muscarinic agonist pilocarpine. The depletion of VGLUT3 in MPCs by RNA interference reduced depolarization-dependent glutamate release. These results strongly suggest that VGLUT3 is involved in glutamatergic signalling in podocytes and may be a new drug target for various kidney diseases.

kn-title=Interleukin-6/soluble IL-6 receptor-induced secretion of cathepsin B and L from human gingival fibroblasts is regulated by caveolin-1 and ERK1/2 pathways
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Aims: Cathepsins are essential lysosomal enzymes that maintain organismal homeostasis by degrading extracellular substrates. The inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) increases the production of cathepsins through the caveolin-1 (Cav-1) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathways, which have been implicated in the destruction of periodontal tissue. This study investigated the effect of the IL-6/soluble IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) complex on the extracellular secretion of cathepsins in human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) and examined the function of extracellularly secreted cathepsins B and L under acidic culture conditions in vitro.<br>
Methods: HGFs were isolated from healthy volunteer donors. The expression of Cav-1 was suppressed via transfection with small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting Cav-1. The expression levels of cathepsins B and L induced by extracellular IL-6/sIL-6R were measured using western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Extracellular cathepsin activity following IL-6/sIL-6R stimulation was assessed using a methylcoumarylamide substrate in a fluorescence-based assay. IL-6/sIL-6R-induced expression of cathepsins B and L in HGFs was quantified under inhibitory conditions for extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 and/or JNK signaling, both of which are transduction pathways activated by IL-6/sIL-6R. This quantification was also performed in HGFs with suppressed Cav-1 expression using western blotting.<br>
Results: Cathepsins B and L were secreted in their precursor forms from HGFs, with significantly elevated protein levels observed at 24, 48, and 72 h post-IL-6/sIL-6R stimulation. Under acidic culture conditions, cathepsin B activity increased at 48 and 72 h. Cav-1 suppression inhibited the secretion of cathepsin B regardless of IL-6/sIL-6R stimulation, whereas the secretion of cathepsin L was reduced only after 48 h of IL-6/sIL-6R stimulation. Inhibition of ERK1/2 and JNK pathways decreased the secretion of cathepsin B after 48 h of IL-6/sIL-6R stimulation, and JNK inhibition reduced the secretion of cathepsin L under similar conditions.<br>
Conclusion: IL-6/sIL-6R stimulation increased the extracellular secretion of cathepsin B and L precursors in HGFs, and these precursors became activated under acidic conditions. Cav-1 and ERK1/2 are involved in regulating the secretion of cathepsin B precursors.

kn-title=Involvement of a Novel Variant of FGFR1 Detected in an Adult Patient with Kallmann Syndrome in Regulation of Gonadal Steroidogenesis
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1), also known as KAL2, is a tyrosine kinase receptor, and variants of FGFR1 have been detected in patients with Kallmann syndrome (KS), which is a congenital developmental disorder characterized by central hypogonadism and anosmia. Herein, we report an adult case of KS with a novel variant of FGFR1. A middle-aged male was referred for a compression fracture of a lumbar vertebra. It was shown that he had severe osteoporosis, anosmia, gynecomastia, and a past history of operations for cryptorchidism. Endocrine workup using pituitary and gonadal stimulation tests revealed the presence of both primary and central hypogonadism. Genetic testing revealed a novel variant of FGFR1 (c.2197_2199dup, p.Met733dup). To identify the pathogenicity of the novel variant and the clinical significance for the gonads, we investigated the effects of the FGFR1 variant on the downstream signaling of FGFR1 and gonadal steroidogenesis by using human steroidogenic granulosa cells. It was revealed that the transfection of the variant gene significantly impaired FGFR1 signaling, detected through the downregulation of SPRY2, compared with that of the case of the forced expression of wild-type FGFR1, and that the existence of the variant gene apparently altered the expression of key steroidogenic factors, including StAR and aromatase, in the gonad. The results suggested that the novel variant of FGFR1 detected in the patient with KS was linked to the impairment of FGFR1 signaling, as well as the alteration of gonadal steroidogenesis, leading to the pathogenesis of latent primary hypogonadism.

kn-title=Association of blood carboxyhemoglobin levels with mortality and neurological outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background: Carbon monoxide (CO), produced endogenously by heme oxygenase-1, plays a crucial role in the immune system by mitigating cellular damage under stress. However, the significance of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is not well understood. This study aimed to explore the association between COHb levels at hospital arrival and within the first 24 h post-arrival with 30-day mortality and neurological outcomes in patients who experienced OHCA.<br>
Methods: This single-center, retrospective study analyzed data from adult patients who experienced OHCA seen at Okayama University Hospital from 2019 to 2023. The patients were assigned to one of two study groups based on COHb levels (0.0% or >= 0.1%) upon hospital arrival. The primary outcome was 30-day mortality.<br>
Results: Among the 560 eligible patients who experienced OHCA, 284 (50.7%) were in the COHb 0.0% group and 276 (49.3%) were in the COHb >= 0.1% group. The 30-day mortality was significantly higher in the COHb 0.0% group compared to the COHb >= 0.1% group (264 [92.9%] vs. 233 [84.4%]). Multivariable logistic regression showed that the COHb 0.0% group was associated with 30-day mortality (adjusted ORs: 2.24, 95% CIs: 1.10-4.56). Non-survivors at 30 days who were admitted to the intensive care unit had lower COHb levels at hospital arrival (0.0% vs. 0.2%) and lower mean COHb levels during the first 24 h post-arrival (0.7% vs. 0.9%) compared to survivors.<br>
Conclusions: COHb levels of 0.0% were linked to worse outcomes in patients experiencing OHCA, warranting further research on the prognostic implications of COHb in this context.

kn-title=Effects of Trehalose on Halitosis: A Randomized Cross-Over Clinical Trial
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Background/Objectives: Halitosis is a condition characterized by an unpleasant malodor. Intra-oral halitosis is caused by volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) and can be associated with oral dryness. Trehalose is one of the materials used to relieve oral dryness. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of trehalose on halitosis. Methods: This prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over study enrolled volunteers from Okayama University Hospital. The participants were randomly divided into two groups, with one group receiving trehalose (a 10% trehalose solution) and the other receiving a placebo (distilled water) in a 1:1 allocation. The primary study outcome was the subjective organoleptic test. The secondary outcomes were the concentrations of the VSCs, which were measured using a portable gas chromatography device, and the oral moisture status, which was measured using an oral moisture meter. The planned sample size was 10 participants based on the previous study. Results: The final intention-to-treat analysis was performed using the data from 9 participants. After applying 10% trehalose as an oral spray, the organoleptic score decreased in a time-dependent manner. However, no significant differences were seen between the trehalose and placebo groups. In terms of secondary outcomes, the oral moisture levels increased immediately after the trehalose spray application, and significant differences in the amount of change from the baseline were seen between the trehalose and placebo groups (p = 0.047). No significant differences were seen in any of the other variables (p > 0.05). Conclusions: We could not identify any positive effects on halitosis from a one-time 10% trehalose application as an oral spray in this prospective, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, cross-over study. However, the trehalose application immediately improved the oral moisture levels and was useful for treating oral dryness.

kn-abstract=　This paper reports a study that investigated perceived sources of daily support. To gather empirical evidence, a sample survey of women in four study areas of Canberra was conducted in 1986-1987. Three hundred and ninety-four women who were under 55 years of age and who were married or in a de facto relationship were interviewed. They responded to six hypothetical difficult situations by identifying the first source from which they would seek support. Analysis of the data has revealed the following ;<br>
　(1) When respondents had their relatives in Canberra, they regarded their relatives as the chief source of daily support. However, there were many residents without local relatives in Canberra. For such respondents, their relatives were not so helpful in daily support. Incidentally, workmates were thought of as much less important providers of support than relatives, neighbours or friends.<br>
　(2) Social networks were differentiated in that respondents tended to depend on types of people appropriate to individual difficult situations.<br>
　(3) Dependable friends and workmates tended to live closer than dependable relatives.<br>
　(4) Dependable relatives were usually limited to immediate family, such as parents (-in-law), brothers (-in-law) or sisters (-in-law).

kn-abstract=　私は平成10年度の前期に一般科目（一般教養科目）の「社会学」の授業を担当した。本稿では，受講学生の授業評価などにより，その授業を検討し，次の3点を明らかにした。(1)私は，映画やドキュメンタリーを上映したり「講義ノート」を配布することで，社会学の授業を理解しやすくするように努めた。また，書評レポートを学生に書かせ論文作成の基礎を学ばせようとした。学生は，これらの授業改善をかなり評価していた。それから，授業のやり方や講義内容でとりたてて問題点はなかった。(2)多くの学生は，映画を上映したとき，授業時間が延長になることに苦情を持っていた。私は学生があげた苦情を解決しようと授業中に努力したが，大部分の苦情は私の努力ではどうにもできないものであった。(3)大学の当局や事務担当者には，次の2つが望まれる。第1に， 2時限連続の授業を設けることができるようにするなど，授業の性格に応じてより柔軟に，授業を開講できるようすべきだ。もしこれが可能であれば，私の授業に対する学生の苦情はほとんどなかった。第2に，シラバスを全学部の学生に配布するとか，インターネットで誰でも簡単に閲覧できるようにすべきだ。<br>
　次に，授業の改善として，私は次の3点を提案した。(1)研究の方法を一般教育課程で学生に組織的に教えること。(2)大学の授業を他の教官に公開することによって，授業の改善に努めること。(3)教官の授業負担を軽減し，授業の充実をはかること。

kn-abstract=　私は平成10年度の前期に教育学部の専門科目である「社会学A」の授業を担当した。本稿では，受講学生の授業評価により，その授業を検討し，次の3点を明らかにした。(1)私は，映画やドキュメンタリーを上映したり「講義ノート」を配布することで，社会学の授業を理解しやすくするように努めた。また，書評レポートを学生に書かせ論文作成の基礎を学ばせようとした，学生は，これらの授業改善をかなり評価していた。また，学生は授業での話し方や講義内容も好意的に評価していた。逆に，悪かった点は，授業の補講を土曜日の1日に集中して実施したことであった。これ以外では， とくに悪い点は指摘されなかった。その結果，学生は86.2点と比較的高めに私の授業を採点した。(2)書評レポートを学生に課すとき，その見本を学生に配布すると，書評レポートの質が大幅に向上する。(3)学生は私の授業を好意的にとらえていたけれど，受講学生数は少なかった。これから，受講学生数は主に授業の単位取得が容易かどうかによって決まってしまうと考えられる。

kn-title=Local-structure insight into the improved superconducting properties of Pb-substituted La(O, F)BiS2: a photoelectron holography study
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Pb-substituted La(O, F)BiS2 (Pb-LaOFBiS2) exhibits improved superconducting properties and a resistivity anomaly around 100 K that is attributed to a structural transition. We have performed temperature(T)-dependent photoelectron holography (PEH) to study dopant incorporation sites and the local structure change across the anomaly. The PEH study of Pb-LaOFBiS2 provided evidence for the dominant incorporation sites of Pb and F: Pb atoms are incorporated into the Bi sites and F atoms are incorporated into the O site. No remarkable difference in the local structures around Pb and Bi atoms was observed. Across the temperature of the resistivity anomaly (T*), photoelectron holograms of Bi 4f changed. Comparisons of holograms with those of non-substituted LaOFBiS2 sample, as well as simulated holograms, suggested that (1), above T*, the tetragonal structure of Pb-LaOFBiS2 is different from the tetragonal structure of LaOFBiS2 and (2), below T*, the tetragonal structure still remains in Pb-LaOFBiS2. We discuss a possible origin of the difference in the structure above T* and the implication of the result below T*, which are necessary ingredients to understand the physical properties of Pb-LaOFBiS2.

kn-title=Myeloid Cells Induce Infiltration and Activation of B Cells and CD4+ T Follicular Helper Cells to Sensitize Brain Metastases to Combination Immunotherapy
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=
kn-abstract=Brain metastasis is a poor prognostic factor in patients with cancer. Despite showing efficacy in many extracranial tumors, immunotherapy with anti?PD-1 mAb or anti?CTLA4 mAb seems to be less effective against intracranial tumors. Promisingly, recent clinical studies have reported that combination therapy with anti?PD-1 and anti?CTLA4 mAbs has a potent antitumor effect on brain metastasis, highlighting the need to elucidate the detailed mechanisms controlling the intracranial tumor microenvironment (TME) to develop effective immunotherapeutic strategies. In this study, we analyzed the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in murine models of brain metastasis that responded to anti?CTLA4 and anti?PD-1 mAbs. Activated CD4+ T follicular helper (TFH) cells with high CTLA4 expression characteristically infiltrated the intracranial TME, which were activated by combination anti?CTLA4 and anti?PD-1 treatment. The loss of TFH cells suppressed the additive effect of CTLA4 blockade on anti?PD-1 mAb. B-cell?activating factor belonging to the TNF family (BAFF) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) produced by abundant myeloid cells, particularly CD80hiCD206lo proinflammatory M1-like macrophages, in the intracranial TME induced B-cell and TFH-cell infiltration and activation. Furthermore, the intracranial TME of patients with non?small cell lung cancer featured TFH- and B-cell infiltration as tertiary lymphoid structures. Together, these findings provide insights into the immune cell cross-talk in the intracranial TME that facilitates an additive antitumor effect of CTLA4 blockade with anti?PD-1 treatment, supporting the potential of a combination immunotherapeutic strategy for brain metastases.<br>
Significance: B-cell and CD4+ T follicular helper cell activation via BAFF/APRIL from abundant myeloid cells in the intracranial tumor microenvironment enables a combinatorial effect of CTLA4 and PD-1 blockade in brain metastases.

en-abstract=In this study, a play-based instruction was used to promote the acquisition of intersubjective communication in a special needs school for students with intellectual disabilities. The participant was a first-grade boy with autism. As a result, the boy began to show intersubjective communication and to respond to the teacher's instruction. It was suggested that four aspects of the play environment may have promoted the acquisition of intersubjective communication: 1) attractive toys, 2) play with the teacher through attractive toys, 3) intervention according to the developmental process of the target children's play, and 4) empathic involvement to encourage the affective sharing.
kn-abstract=　自閉スペクトラム症児は，相互伝達行為の獲得に遅れがあることが指摘されている。本研究では，自閉スペクトラム症の診断のある知的障害特別支援学校小学部１年生男児を対象に，相互伝達行為の獲得を目指して，遊びを中心とした指導を行った。その結果，対象児の遊びが「感覚運動的遊び」「機能的遊び」から「象徴的遊び」「社会的遊び」へと移行するに伴い，相互伝達行為が見られるようになった。また，教師による働き掛けへの応答も見られるようになり，ポジティブな情動の共有が生み出されやすい遊びの環境設定が，相互伝達行為の獲得において効果的であったことが示唆された。遊び環境については，1）魅力的な玩具，2）魅力的な玩具を介した教師との遊び，3）対象児の遊びの発達段階に応じた介入，4）情動の共有を促す共感的関わりの４点が相互伝達行為の獲得を促した可能性が考えられた。

en-title=Bridging the Gap: Outcomes and Challenges of a Collaborative Start Curriculum for Seamless Transition to Elementary School
kn-title=小学校への滑らかな移行を支えるスタートカリキュラム共同編成プロジェクトの成果と課題
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=In this practice, a joint curriculum development project was launched to ease the transition for children in the “bridge period” from age five to first grade, involving five discussions between kindergarten and elementary school teachers. Participants reflected on these discussions, and the content was analyzed. (1) A screening sheet to identify children who “cause concern” helped clarify differences in observations, leading to a shared understanding of child perceptions. (2) Teachers recognized differences in their views of children and education, improving their attitudes toward compromise and increasing awareness of the need to smooth the transition. However, an overloaded elementary school curriculum was noted, limiting the flexible application of the start curriculum and hindering child-centered education.
kn-abstract=本実践では，５歳児から小学１年生の「架け橋期」の滑らかな移行に焦点を当てたスタートカリキュラム共同編成プロジェクトを立ち上げ，幼稚園と小学校の教員が集まって５回の話合いを行った。本プロジェクトを評価するために，参加者に話合いの振返りを書いてもらい，その内容を検討した。成果として，�@スクリーニングシートを使って，「気になる」子供を抽出し，見取りの違いを可視化することで，相互の子供観について共通理解を図ることができた。�A幼稚園と小学校，双方の教員が互いの子供観・教育観の違いを理解し，歩み寄ろうとする姿勢や校種間の接続をより滑らかにしようとする意識の向上が確認された。一方，課題として，スタートカリキュラムの柔軟な運用や小学校教育における子供主体の教育の実現を妨げる教育課程の過積載状態の問題が指摘された。

en-title=Prevention of Apathy in High School Students Perspective on Time Management and Future Prospects
kn-title=アパシー傾向からみた高校生の無気力の予防について　―タイムマネジメント，将来展望との関係を通して―
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=　According to the Ministry of Education in Japan (2023), apathy is the leading cause of truancy among high school students, with the percentage of nonattendance at 40%. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the prevention of apathy among high school students. Apathy among college students has been examined as a propensity for apathy. This study presupposes that apathy among high school students is also associated with a propensity for apathy. Two hundred and nineteen high school students were participated in this research. We assumed time management (TM) and future prospects (self-fulfillment, goal-directedness, and hopefulness) would be preventive factors against apathetic tendencies for them. The study findings indicate that self-fulfillment may significantly reduce apathy, with hopefulness also contributing to reducing apathy. Additionally, the characteristics of apathy tendency, specifically lack of self, were found to be differently related to students' TM skills. In other words, the findings suggest that goal-directedness may alleviate apathy among students struggling with TM.
kn-abstract=　不登校の主たる要因の1位は「無気力・不安」で40.0%を占める（文部科学省，2023）。このことは，不登校でない生徒の中にも，無気力を感じている生徒がかなりいることを示唆している。そこで本研究は，高校生の無気力とその予防について検討する。無気力は，大学生を対象にアパシー傾向として検討されてきた。そこで高校生の無気力をアパシー傾向として捉え，加えてそれを予防するものについても併せて検討した。予防法の候補として，タイムマネジメント（以下，TM）と将来展望（現在の充実感・目標指向性・希望）を想定し，高校生219名を対象に，これらの関係を検討した。分析の結果，無気力を低減するのは，現在の充実感，希望であり，特に前者が有効である可能性を示せた。一方で，アパシー傾向の自分のなさでは，TM のタイプによって異なる関係がみられた。つまり，TM が苦手な生徒では，希望よりも，目前の目標に目を向けることが無気力を低減できる可能性が示唆された。

en-title=The Image of Mushroom Created by Junior High School Science Textbooks: Suggestions for Learning about Mushroom from Diachronic Surveys
kn-title=中学校理科教科書がつくり上げてきたきのこ像　―通時的調査から得るきのこを巡る学習への示唆―
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=　In this paper, we examined the image of mushroom in postwar junior high school science textbooks from four perspectives: (1) which species of mushroom were covered, (2) whether they were classified as plants or not, (3) what makes up the body of a mushroom, and (4) how they functioned in an ecosystem. The 47 species were identified through a periodic survey. Although a total of 47 species have appeared in science textbooks, we pointed out that in recent years, the focus has shifted to the role of mushroom as decomposers, rather than to species awareness. We also pointed out that although mycorrhizal fungi have been discussed in textbooks, there was no reference to the perspective in a plant-fungal symbiosis, which raises the possibility of developing learning that aims to understand symbiosis/interactions within a nature ecosystem.
kn-abstract=　本稿では，戦後中学校理科検定教科書におけるきのこの扱われ方，すなわち学習者が受け取ることになるきのこ像について，�@どのようなきのこが扱われてきたのか，�A植物に分類されているか否か，�Bきのこのからだは何で形成されているのか，�C生態系における働きの四つの観点から，通時的な調査によって明らかにした。全47種がこれまでの理科教科書で登場してきたが，近年は種への意識というよりも，きのこが分解者としての役割を持つことにのみ焦点が当てられてきていることを指摘した。また，これまで教科書においては菌根性のきのこ自体について取り上げられつつも，その生態系における相利共生の観点への言及はないことから，相利共生の理解を目指す学習の開発が可能性として浮かび上がってくることも指摘した。

en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=The purpose of this study was to clarify the factors influencing coordination behavior of Yogo teachers and the relationship between the occurrence process of the factors and career years. The subjects analyzed were 695 persons working in public elementary and junior high schools. The effect of years of career was seen in the improvement of scale scores of factors related to the stages of coordination behavior and motivation, as well as subscale scores of the factors. <br>
The relationship between the number of years of career and factors related to the generation process of coordination behavior suggested three characteristics. That is, (1) The establishment of a foundation for organizational support that starts from collaboration, due to the correlation between factors showing high subscale scores unaffected by the number of years of career, and (2) The correlation among factors of motivational factors whose subscale scores increase with the number of years of career, which leads to the promotion of individualized support efforts, and (3) Correlation between factors of leader recognition and individual support seen in the career category of 11 years or more, and which leads to the promotion of expansion to management of organizational support.
kn-abstract=　本研究の目的は，養護教諭のコーディネーション行動に影響する要因やその因子の傾向をキャリア年数から捉え，これらとコーディネーション行動の生起プロセスとの関係について明らかにすることであった。分析対象は，公立小学校・中学校勤務695名とした。キャリア年数の影響は，コーディネーション行動と動機づけの段階に関わる要因の尺度得点や，因子の下位尺度得点の向上に見られた。また，キャリア年数とコーディネーション行動の生起プロセスに関わる因子間の関係からは，（1）キャリア年数に影響されない高い下位尺度得点を示す因子間相関による，協働を起点にした組織支援の基盤づくり，（2）キャリア年数により下位尺度得点が高まる動機づけ要因の因子間相関による，個別支援の取組推進へのつながり，（3）11年以上キャリア区分で見られるリーダー認知と個別支援の因子間相関，及び組織的支援のマネジメントへの広がり，の３つの特徴をもつことが示唆された。

en-title=Childcare and Support in Nursery Schools for the Development of Geometry and Number Sense for Five-Year-Old Children
kn-title=５歳児を対象とした数量・図形感覚を育む保育所保育の実際と援助の在り方
en-subtitle=
kn-subtitle=
en-abstract=This study focuses on “the interest and sense of numbers, geometry, and words”, which is regarded as one of "the Ideal Image by the End of Childhood". The focus is on 5-year-old pre-schoolers and their experiences with numbers and shapes in daily lives and games at nursery schools with a comparison with the mathematics classes in the first grade of elementary school. We also aim to provide insights for nursery schools on how to arouse children’s interest and support them to get familiar with geometry and numbers through games.<br>
Our finding reveals that children naturally become familiar with geometry and numbers in their daily lives and their experiences become the foundation when they cope with elementary school mathematics. We also come to know that nursery teachers have to visualize the connection between their games with elementary school mathematics and actively arouse children’s interests and understanding.

kn-abstract=　本研究では、幼児期の終わりまでに育って欲しい10の姿のひとつである、「数量・図形、文字等への関心・感覚」に着目し、就学前の５歳児に焦点を当て、保育所の日常生活や遊びにおいて子どもがどのような数量・図形に関する事柄を経験しているのか、また、その経験を小学校１年生の算数科の学習内容と照らして検討した。さらに、子どもが園生活や遊びの中で数量・図形に関心をもって親しみ、学びを得ることを支える保育の在り方について検討した。<br>
　その結果、子どもは日常の中で主体的に数量・図形に親しむ経験をすると共に、その経験が小学校算数科の内容に連続する学びの基礎となっていることが明らかになった。また、保育士自身が小学校算数との繋がりを見通しながら、眼前の子どもの興味や関心に沿って援助することが専門的力量として求められることが示唆された。

en-abstract=The purpose of this study was to explore the image of teacher-training courses among student teachers in non-faculty of education. In this study, special attention to was paid to the difference first-year students and fourth-year students. This study 1 included student teachers in non-faculty of education. They were asked to answer metaphor-making task : “teacher-training courses”. Major findings (study 1) were as follows: (a) analysis of metaphors and reasons regarding the image of teacher-training course revealed 19 categories. (b) The category with the most number of descriptions was “A place to learn to become a teacher” followed by “A place to grow as a person”. (c) There were differences in the number of descriptions in some categories between first-year students and fourth-year students. Next, major findings (study 2) were as follows: (a) Exploratory factor analysis of the concept of image of teacher-training courses revealed 11 factors such as “place for active learning” and “hard”. (b) First-year students and fourth-year students had different scores on three factors: “Opportunity to reflect on the educational experience”, “Great value” and “A place for longterm leaning”. These studies indicated that student teachers in non-faculty of education had various images teacher-training courses, and that there were differences in some images teacher-training course between first-year students and fourth-year students.
kn-abstract=　本研究の目的は，全学教職課程履修学生の教職課程イメージを検討することであった。研究１ではメタファー法を用いて全学教職課程履修学生を対象に教職課程イメージを調査し，19のカテゴリーが得られた。最も記述が多いカテゴリーは「教師になるための学びの場」であり，次いで「人としての成長の場」であった。また，1年生と4年生でいくつかのカテゴリーで有意差が見られた。研究２では，研究１を基に教職課程イメージを測定する尺度作成を試みると共に，1年生と4年生での比較を行った。調査の結果，教職課程イメージは「能動的な学びの場」「大変さ」など全11因子からなること，「被教育体験の振り返りの機会」「お得感」「長期的な学びの場」において1年生と4年生で有意差があること，が示唆された。本研究から全学教職課程履修学生の教職課程イメージの一端が明らかにされると共に，1年生と4年生で有しているイメージが部分的に異なる可能性が示唆された。
