A draft scale was created based on a literature review, and consisted of a 51-item, 5-point Likert-type questionnaire administered to ward nurses engaged in stroke discharge support at acute care hospitals. Factor analysis was performed to refine the scale. Construct validity was assessed using the known-groups method, and reliability was evaluated through internal consistency analysis. The resulting Stroke Discharge Support Evaluation Scale comprises 29 items across 5 factors, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Analysis of the data collected from 237 valid responses demonstrated good internal consistency and supported the scalefs construct validity. The Stroke Discharge Support Evaluation Scale is a reliable and valid tool enabling ward nurses in acute care hospitals to evaluate their own stroke discharge support. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YanoHideki en-aut-sei=Yano en-aut-mei=Hideki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakahataYoko en-aut-sei=Takahata en-aut-mei=Yoko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaguchiTakeshi en-aut-sei=Yamaguchi en-aut-mei=Takeshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SaitoShinya en-aut-sei=Saito en-aut-mei=Shinya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Nursing, Faculty of Human Health Sciences, Niimi University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Faculty of Nursing, Shikoku University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=stroke kn-keyword=stroke en-keyword=discharge support kn-keyword=discharge support en-keyword=scale development kn-keyword=scale development END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=14 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=9 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2026 dt-pub=20260212 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The Influence of Fluidic Flow Stress on the Development of the Secondary Palate en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Craniofacial development is orchestrated by a finely regulated interplay of numerous genes and signaling pathways. Palatogenesis proceeds through a complex, stepwise process, in which endogenous mechanical stresses within tissues have been implicated. However, the impact of exogenous fluidic flow mechanical stress derived from maternal movement on palatal development remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the effect of exogenous fluidic flow mechanical stress on palatal morphogenesis, focusing on the horizontal outgrowth of palatal shelves after elevation. Palatal tissues dissected from mouse embryos were subjected to organ culture with or without mechanical loading (loaded and unloaded groups, respectively). Stress magnitude was quantified by calculating wave energy, and morphometric and molecular analyses were performed. Compared with the unloaded group, palatal shelves in the loaded group showed significant increases in thickness and volume, accompanied by enhanced cell proliferation, nuclear translocation of YAP and ƒÀ-catenin, and upregulation of the osteogenic markers Osterix and Osteocalcin. No significant difference in apoptosis was observed. These findings indicate that exogenous mechanical stress promotes cell proliferation and osteogenic differentiation through the Hippo and WNT/ƒÀ-catenin pathways in palate explants. Our results suggest that moderate maternal movement-induced mechanical stress contributes to normal palatogenesis, providing new insights into the mechanisms underlying cleft palate. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataMasayo en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Masayo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HayanoSatoru en-aut-sei=Hayano en-aut-mei=Satoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=WangZiyi en-aut-sei=Wang en-aut-mei=Ziyi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KosamiTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kosami en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KamiokaHiroshi en-aut-sei=Kamioka en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Orthodontics, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Orthodontics, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Orthodontics, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Orthodontics, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=mechanical stress kn-keyword=mechanical stress en-keyword=palatal development kn-keyword=palatal development en-keyword=ƒÀ-catenin kn-keyword=ƒÀ-catenin en-keyword=YAP kn-keyword=YAP END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol= cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2025 dt-pub=20250909 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Current Status of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy in Japanese Intensive Care Units: A Multicenter Retrospective Observational Study en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Introduction: Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is often performed for critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs), but its optimal indication and settings have yet to be determined. Thus, we aimed to describe the current status of CRRT in Japan through a multicenter retrospective observational study. Methods: Adult ICU patients receiving CRRT at 18 tertiary hospitals in Japan (up to 100 patients from each hospital over the past year) were retrospectively enrolled. Patients receiving CRRT for <24 h or intermittent renal replacement therapy together with CRRT were excluded. The primary outcomes were the temporal changes in the electrolyte levels, acid-base balance, and uremia-related small solute concentrations. The secondary outcomes included potassium (K) and phosphate (P) supplementations during CRRT. Results: Altogether, 1,045 patients were enrolled. The median CRRT duration and dose were 4.4 days and 17.3 mL/kg/h, respectively. The electrolyte levels, acid-base balance, and uremia-related small solute concentrations returned to normal by day 4 of treatment. A total of 732 (70.0%) patients received K supplementation, and only a few patients had hypokalemia until day 5. Moreover, 414 (39.6%) patients received P supplementation, and approximately 30%?50% of the patients had hypophosphatemia until day 5. Conclusion: The CRRT dose in Japan was lower than that was recommended by the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes guideline. The electrolyte level abnormalities and acid-base imbalances of the studied patients were improved within 72?96 h of CRRT. Contrarily, K and P supplementations were common, indicating that the current CRRT solutions need to be modified. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NakanoHidehiko en-aut-sei=Nakano

is a risk factor for infertility through uterine hypertrophy en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Periodontitis has recently been recognized as a potential risk factor for infertility due to its adverse effect on conception, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated serum IgG antibody titers against periodontopathogenic bacteria in women with unexplained infertility and investigated how periodontal inflammation affects pregnancy and uterine function using a ligature-induced periodontitis mouse model infected with Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg). IgG antibody titers against seven periodontopathogenic bacteria strains were measured by ELISA in 76 spontaneously pregnant women and 70 women undergoing infertility treatment. In the in vivo study, periodontitis mice were bred four weeks after periodontitis induction. Birth numbers, newborn weights, and gestation periods were assessed. To evaluate periodontal inflammation, alveolar bone, serum, and uterus was collected before mating. Uterine tissue was evaluated through histological and immunohistochemical staining. Women receiving infertility treatment were significantly older and had higher IgG titers against three Pg strains. Periodontitis mice had fewer births, lower newborn weights, and increased uterine cross-sectional areas. Additionally, elevated estrogen receptor ƒ¿ and progesterone receptor expression levels were observed in endometrial and stromal tissues. These results suggest that periodontitis may cause uterine hypertrophy and hormone receptor changes, potentially impairing pregnancy. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=Kamei-NagataChiaki

en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Diabetes mellitus (DM) management has advanced from self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), which better prevents complications. However, the influence of periodontitis?a common DM complication?on glucose variability is unclear. This study examined glucose variability in mice with periodontitis using CGM. Periodontitis was induced in 9-week-old male C57BL/6J mice via silk ligatures around the upper second molars. Glucose levels were monitored over 14 days with CGM, validated by SMBG. On day 14, samples were collected to assess alveolar bone resorption and serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-ƒ¿ (TNF-ƒ¿), insulin, and amyloid A. Glucose tolerance test (GTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) were conducted to evaluate insulin resistance. Gut microbiota diversity was also analyzed. By day 10, mice with periodontitis exhibited higher mean glucose levels and time above range than controls. On day 14, serum insulin and amyloid A levels significantly increased, while TNF-ƒ¿ remained unchanged. GTT and ITT indicated insulin resistance. Microbiota analysis showed reduced alpha- and altered beta-diversity, with decreased Coprococcus spp. and increased Prevotella spp., linking dysbiosis to insulin resistance. Periodontitis disrupts glucose regulation by promoting insulin resistance and gut microbiota imbalance, leading to significant glucose variability. en-copyright= kn-copyright=

kn-title=Organ Donation after Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Clinical and Ethical Perspectives en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) has evolved into a life-saving therapy for select cardiac arrest patients, yet a growing body of evidence suggests it also holds promise as a bridge to organ donation in non-survivors. This review explores the clinical outcomes, ethical complexities, and evolving policies surrounding organ donation after ECPR. We summarize recent international and Japanese data demonstrating favorable graft function from ECPR donors, with the exception of lung transplantation. The ethical challenges ? particularly those involving brain death determination on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and adherence to the dead donor rule ? are discussed in the context of Japanfs recent regulatory reforms. Additionally, we highlight the importance of structured end-of-life communication through multidisciplinary team meetings in facilitating ethically sound transitions from rescue efforts to donation pathways. Moving forward, improvements in donor management, standardized legal frameworks, and public and professional education are essential to optimizing the life-saving and life-giving potential of ECPR. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YumotoTetsuya en-aut-sei=Yumoto en-aut-mei=Tetsuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NaitoHiromichi en-aut-sei=Naito en-aut-mei=Hiromichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=HongoTakashi en-aut-sei=Hongo en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=ObaraTakafumi en-aut-sei=Obara en-aut-mei=Takafumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KosakiYoshinori en-aut-sei=Kosaki en-aut-mei=Yoshinori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=AgetaKohei en-aut-sei=Ageta en-aut-mei=Kohei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=NojimaTsuyoshi en-aut-sei=Nojima en-aut-mei=Tsuyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukaharaKohei en-aut-sei=Tsukahara en-aut-mei=Kohei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakaoAtsunori en-aut-sei=Nakao en-aut-mei=Atsunori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Emergency, Critical Care and Disaster Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Emergency, Critical Care and Disaster Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Emergency, Critical Care and Disaster Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Emergency, Critical Care and Disaster Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Emergency, Critical Care and Disaster Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Emergency, Critical Care and Disaster Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Emergency, Critical Care and Disaster Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Emergency, Critical Care and Disaster Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Emergency, Critical Care and Disaster Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=brain death kn-keyword=brain death en-keyword=end-of-life care kn-keyword=end-of-life care en-keyword=ethical dilemmas kn-keyword=ethical dilemmas en-keyword=extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation kn-keyword=extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=12 cd-vols= no-issue=5 article-no= start-page=271 end-page=277 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2024 dt-pub=20240329 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The Japan MSA registry: A multicenter cohort study of multiple system atrophy en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Background: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by autonomic failure and various motor symptoms. While MSA-C (cerebellar type) predominates in East Asia, MSA-P (parkinsonian type) predominates in Europe and North America. This nationwide patient registry aimed to (1) conduct a prospective natural history study of MSA in Japan, (2) facilitate patient recruitment for clinical trials, and (3) deposit bioresources and clinical information in a biobank.
Methods: Thirteen institutions participated in this study. Clinical information was obtained by neurologists from the patients visiting the hospital every 12?months to assess the UMSARS Part 2 scores and by telephone interviews by nurses every 6?months to assess UMSARS Part 1 scores and to determine whether clinical events had occurred.
Results: Demographic data from 329 MSA patients (216 MSA-C and 113 MSA-P) were analyzed. The mean age at symptom onset was 58.2?years (standard deviation, 8.9); the mean duration of symptoms at enrollment was 3.5?years (standard deviation, 2.2). The mean 12-month changes in the UMSARS Part 1 and Part 2 scores were 7.9 (standard deviation, 5.6) and 6.4 (standard deviation, 5.9), respectively. The patient registry proved useful in recruiting participants for clinical trials, including those with gene variants. Clinical information and biospecimens were deposited in a biobank.
Discussion: The study highlighted the importance of telephone interviews in minimizing drop-out rates in natural history studies and demonstrated similar MSA progression rates across populations. The deposited bioresources are available to researchers upon request, aiming to contribute to future MSA researches. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ChikadaAyaka en-aut-sei=Chikada

kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In March 2025, following the annual International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) ratification vote, newly proposed taxa were added to those under the mandate of the Plant Viruses Subcommittee. In brief, 1 new order, 3 new families, 6 new genera, 2 new subgenera and 206 new species were created. Some taxa were reorganized. Genus Cytorhabdovirus in the family Rhabdoviridae was abolished and its taxa were redistributed into three new genera Alphacytorhabdovirus, Betacytorhabdovirus and Gammacytorhabdovirus. Genus Waikavirus in the family Secoviridae was reorganized into two subgenera (Actinidivirus and Ritunrivirus). One family and four previously unaffiliated genera were moved to the newly established order Tombendovirales. Twelve species not assigned to a genus were abolished. To comply with the ICTV mandate of a binomial format for virus species, eight species were renamed. Demarcation criteria in the absence of biological information were defined in the genus Ilarvirus (family Bromoviridae). This article presents the updated taxonomy put forth by the Plant Viruses Subcommittee and ratified by the ICTV. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=RubinoLuisa en-aut-sei=Rubino en-aut-mei=Luisa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=AbrahamianPeter en-aut-sei=Abrahamian en-aut-mei=Peter kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=AnWenxia en-aut-sei=An en-aut-mei=Wenxia kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=ArandaMiguel A. en-aut-sei=Aranda en-aut-mei=Miguel A. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=Ascencio-Iba?ezJos?

Instead, dim visible light from black-body radiation and bioluminescence illuminates hydrothermal vent areas in the deep sea. A deep-sea hydrothermal vent shrimp, Rimicaris hybisae, is thought to detect this dim light using its enlarged dorsal eye; however, the molecular basis of its photoreception remains unexplored. Here, we characterized the molecular properties of opsins, universal photoreceptive proteins in animals, found in R. hybisae. Transcriptomic analysis identified six opsins: three Gq-coupled opsins, one Opn3, one Opn5, and one peropsin. Functional analysis revealed that five of these opsins exhibited light-dependent G protein activity, whereas peropsin exhibited the ability to convert all-trans-retinal to 11-cis-retinal like photoisomerases. Notably, all the R. hybisae opsins, including Opn5, convergently show visible light sensitivity (around 457?517 nm), whereas most opsins categorized as Opn5 have been demonstrated to be UV sensitive. Mutational analysis revealed that the unique visible light sensitivity of R. hybisae Opn5 is achieved through the stabilization of a protonated Schiff base by a counterion residue at position 83 (Asp83), which differs from the position identified in other opsins. These findings suggest that the vent shrimp R. hybisae has adapted its photoreceptive devices to dim deep-sea hydrothermal light by selectively maintaining a repertoire of visible light?sensitive opsins, including the uniquely tuned Opn5. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataYuya en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Yuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyamotoNorio en-aut-sei=Miyamoto en-aut-mei=Norio kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SatoKeita en-aut-sei=Sato en-aut-mei=Keita kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishimuraYosuke en-aut-sei=Nishimura en-aut-mei=Yosuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaniokaYuki en-aut-sei=Tanioka en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamanakaYuji en-aut-sei=Yamanaka en-aut-mei=Yuji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshizawaSusumu en-aut-sei=Yoshizawa en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakahashiKuto en-aut-sei=Takahashi en-aut-mei=Kuto kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=ObayashiKohei en-aut-sei=Obayashi en-aut-mei=Kohei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukamotoHisao en-aut-sei=Tsukamoto en-aut-mei=Hisao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakaiKen en-aut-sei=Takai en-aut-mei=Ken kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhuchiHideyo en-aut-sei=Ohuchi en-aut-mei=Hideyo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamashitaTakahiro en-aut-sei=Yamashita en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=13 ORCID= en-aut-name=SudoYuki en-aut-sei=Sudo en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=14 ORCID= en-aut-name=KojimaKeiichi en-aut-sei=Kojima en-aut-mei=Keiichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=15 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Institute for Extra-Cutting-Edge Science and Technology Avant-Garde Research (X-Star), Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Research Center for Bioscience and Nanoscience (CeBN), Research Institute for Marine Resources Utilization, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, The University of Tokyo kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Biology, Graduate School of Science, Kobe University kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Biology, Graduate School of Science, Kobe University kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Institute for Extra-Cutting-Edge Science and Technology Avant-Garde Research (X-Star), Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=13 en-affil=Department of Biophysics, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University kn-affil= affil-num=14 en-affil=Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=15 en-affil=Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=rhodopsin kn-keyword=rhodopsin en-keyword=opsin kn-keyword=opsin en-keyword=G protein?coupled receptor kn-keyword=G protein?coupled receptor en-keyword=signal transduction kn-keyword=signal transduction en-keyword=photoreceptor kn-keyword=photoreceptor en-keyword=vision kn-keyword=vision en-keyword=photobiology kn-keyword=photobiology en-keyword=vent shrimp kn-keyword=vent shrimp en-keyword=deep sea kn-keyword=deep sea en-keyword=molecular evolution kn-keyword=molecular evolution END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=2024 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2024 dt-pub=202412 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Multi-dimensional optimisation of the scanning strategy for the LiteBIRD space mission en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Large angular scale surveys in the absence of atmosphere are essential for measuring the primordial B-mode power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). Since this proposed measurement is about three to four orders of magnitude fainter than the temperature anisotropies of the CMB, in-flight calibration of the instruments and active suppression of systematic effects are crucial. We investigate the effect of changing the parameters of the scanning strategy on the in-flight calibration effectiveness, the suppression of the systematic effects themselves, and the ability to distinguish systematic effects by null-tests. Next-generation missions such as LiteBIRD, modulated by a Half-Wave Plate (HWP), will be able to observe polarisation using a single detector, eliminating the need to combine several detectors to measure polarisation, as done in many previous experiments and hence avoiding the consequent systematic effects. While the HWP is expected to suppress many systematic effects, some of them will remain. We use an analytical approach to comprehensively address the mitigation of these systematic effects and identify the characteristics of scanning strategies that are the most effective for implementing a variety of calibration strategies in the multi-dimensional space of common spacecraft scan parameters. We verify that LiteBIRD's standard configuration yields good performance on the metrics we studied. We also present Falcons.jl, a fast spacecraft scanning simulator that we developed to investigate this scanning parameter space. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TakaseY. en-aut-sei=Takase

We present a case of traumatic neuroma arising in the cystic duct after cholecystectomy. A 66-year-old man was referred to our department due to a biliary tumor. He had undergone cholecystectomy 20 years prior. Cholangioscopy showed an elevated lesion covered with smooth mucosa. Histological examination revealed normal bile duct mucosa. Although benign disease was suspected, the possibilities of malignant disease could not be excluded. Extrahepatic bile duct resection was planned to include intraoperative rapid-freezing of a biopsy specimen followed by histopathological examination. These intraoperative histology results showed proliferation of nerve and fibrous tissue only, resulting in the diagnosis of traumatic neuroma, so no lymph nodes were removed. To avoid excessive surgical intervention, histopathological examination of an intraoperative rapid-frozen biopsy specimen may be important for diagnosing traumatic neuroma. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SakamotoShinya en-aut-sei=Sakamoto en-aut-mei=Shinya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TabuchiMotoyasu en-aut-sei=Tabuchi en-aut-mei=Motoyasu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshimatsuRika en-aut-sei=Yoshimatsu en-aut-mei=Rika kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsumotoManabu en-aut-sei=Matsumoto en-aut-mei=Manabu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=IwataJun en-aut-sei=Iwata en-aut-mei=Jun kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkabayashiTakehiro en-aut-sei=Okabayashi en-aut-mei=Takehiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Kochi Health Sciences Center kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Kochi Health Sciences Center kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Kochi Health Sciences Center kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Diagnostic Pathology, Kochi Health Sciences Center kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Diagnostic Pathology, Kochi Health Sciences Center kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Kochi Health Sciences Center kn-affil= en-keyword=traumatic neuroma kn-keyword=traumatic neuroma en-keyword=biliary stricture kn-keyword=biliary stricture en-keyword=cholecystectomy kn-keyword=cholecystectomy en-keyword=cholangiography kn-keyword=cholangiography en-keyword=intraoperative rapid-frozen biopsy kn-keyword=intraoperative rapid-frozen biopsy END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=78 cd-vols= no-issue=6 article-no= start-page=453 end-page=458 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2024 dt-pub=202412 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Case of Radiation-Induced Angiosarcoma after Breast-Conserving Surgery with Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in a Japanese Patient en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Radiation-induced angiosarcoma (RIAS) is a rare, late adverse event of radiotherapy comprising approximately half of all radiation-induced sarcomas. It has a relatively short latency period and generally unfavorable prognosis. This study presents a case of RIAS that developed 5 years and 11 months after the completion of hypofractionated radiotherapy (42.56 Gy/16 fractions) following partial mastectomy. The patient was diagnosed with RIAS 10 months after the onset of skin redness. She underwent skin tumor resection, followed by paclitaxel, then pazopanib administration, but no radiotherapy. At 6 years and 2 months after surgery, no RIAS recurrence has been detected. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KawataYujiro en-aut-sei=Kawata en-aut-mei=Yujiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeKenta en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Kenta kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TokiyaRyoji en-aut-sei=Tokiya en-aut-mei=Ryoji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsunoTakeshi en-aut-sei=Matsuno en-aut-mei=Takeshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanakaRyo en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Ryo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=TairaNaruto en-aut-sei=Taira en-aut-mei=Naruto kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatsuiKuniaki en-aut-sei=Katsui en-aut-mei=Kuniaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Kawasaki Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Kawasaki Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Kawasaki Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Pathology, Kawasaki Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Dermatology, Kawasaki Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Breast and Thyroid Surgery, Kawasaki Medical School kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Kawasaki Medical School kn-affil= en-keyword=breast cancer kn-keyword=breast cancer en-keyword=hypofractionated radiotherapy kn-keyword=hypofractionated radiotherapy en-keyword=radiation-induced angiosarcoma kn-keyword=radiation-induced angiosarcoma END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol= cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2024 dt-pub=20240325 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=ŒûŠW‚ÌŒ`¬‚É‚¨‚¯‚郃JƒjƒJƒ‹ƒXƒgƒŒƒX‚̉e‹¿ en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NAGATAMasayo en-aut-sei=NAGATA en-aut-mei=Masayo kn-aut-name=‰i“c˜`‘ã kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=˜`‘ã aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ˆãŽ•–òŠw‘‡Œ¤‹†‰È END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=78 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=163 end-page=170 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2024 dt-pub=202404 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The Impact of Light Touch and Pin Prick on Functional Outcomes in Patients with Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=A spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause severe lifelong functional disability and profoundly affect an individualfs daily life. We investigated the prediction of patientsf post-SCI functional outcomes by evaluating sensory scores rather than motor scores, as the latterfs association with functional outcomes is well established. We examined patientsf responses to a light touch (LT) and pin prick (PP) at admission and the response datafs usefulness as predictors of functional outcomes (i.e., ability to perform activities of daily living) at discharge. This exploratory observational study used data from the Japanese National Spinal Cord Injury Database (SCI-J). Data from 3,676 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were admitted for an SCI between 1997 and 2020 were analyzed. The motor score of the Functional Independence Measure (mFIM) at discharge was used as an index of functional outcome. A multiple regression analysis revealed that the mFIM was associated with both the LT response (ƒÀ=0.07 (0.01), p<0.001) and the PP response (ƒÀ=0.07 (0.01), p<0.001) at admission. The false discovery rate log-worth values for LT and PP were 6.6 and 8.5, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that LT and PP scores at admission can help predict patientsf functional outcomes after an SCI, although the magnitude of their contributions is not high. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=DeguchiTakayuki en-aut-sei=Deguchi en-aut-mei=Takayuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KandaKanae en-aut-sei=Kanda en-aut-mei=Kanae kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=FurusawaKazunari en-aut-sei=Furusawa en-aut-mei=Kazunari kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=Nlandu Roger Ngatu en-aut-sei=Nlandu Roger Ngatu en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=HiraoTomohiro en-aut-sei=Hirao en-aut-mei=Tomohiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Rehabilitation, Kagawa Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Kagawa University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Kibikogen Rehabilitation Center for Employment Injuries kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Kagawa University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, Kagawa University kn-affil= en-keyword=functional independence measure kn-keyword=functional independence measure en-keyword=light touch kn-keyword=light touch en-keyword=pin prick kn-keyword=pin prick en-keyword=spinal cord injury kn-keyword=spinal cord injury en-keyword=Japanese National Spinal Cord Injury Database kn-keyword=Japanese National Spinal Cord Injury Database END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=78 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=151 end-page=161 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2024 dt-pub=202404 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=p53-Armed Oncolytic Virotherapy Improves Radiosensitivity in Soft-Tissue Sarcoma by Suppressing BCL-xL Expression en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Soft-tissue sarcoma (STS) is a heterogeneous group of rare tumors originating predominantly from the embryonic mesoderm. Despite the development of combined modalities including radiotherapy, STSs are often refractory to antitumor modalities, and novel strategies that improve the prognosis of STS patients are needed. We previously demonstrated the therapeutic potential of two telomerase-specific replication-competent oncolytic adenoviruses, OBP-301 and tumor suppressor p53-armed OBP-702, in human STS cells. Here, we demonstrate in vitro and in vivo antitumor effects of OBP-702 in combination with ionizing radiation against human STS cells (HT1080, NMS-2, SYO-1). OBP-702 synergistically promoted the antitumor effect of ionizing radiation in the STS cells by suppressing the expression of B-cell lymphoma-X large (BCL-xL) and enhancing ionizing radiation-induced apoptosis. The in vivo experiments demonstrated that this combination therapy significantly suppressed STS tumorsf growth. Our results suggest that OBP-702 is a promising antitumor reagent for promoting the radiosensitivity of STS tumors. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KomatsubaraTadashi en-aut-sei=Komatsubara en-aut-mei=Tadashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TazawaHiroshi en-aut-sei=Tazawa en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=HaseiJoe en-aut-sei=Hasei en-aut-mei=Joe kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=OmoriToshinori en-aut-sei=Omori en-aut-mei=Toshinori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=SugiuKazuhisa en-aut-sei=Sugiu en-aut-mei=Kazuhisa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MochizukiYusuke en-aut-sei=Mochizuki en-aut-mei=Yusuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=DemiyaKoji en-aut-sei=Demiya en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshidaAki en-aut-sei=Yoshida en-aut-mei=Aki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraTomohiro en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Tomohiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=KunisadaToshiyuki en-aut-sei=Kunisada en-aut-mei=Toshiyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=UrataYasuo en-aut-sei=Urata en-aut-mei=Yasuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=KagawaShunsuke en-aut-sei=Kagawa en-aut-mei=Shunsuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= en-aut-name=OzakiToshifumi en-aut-sei=Ozaki en-aut-mei=Toshifumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=13 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraToshiyoshi en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Toshiyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=14 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Oncolys BioPharma, Inc. kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=13 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=14 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=soft-tissue sarcoma kn-keyword=soft-tissue sarcoma en-keyword=radiotherapy kn-keyword=radiotherapy en-keyword=oncolytic adenovirus kn-keyword=oncolytic adenovirus en-keyword=p53 kn-keyword=p53 en-keyword=BCL-xL kn-keyword=BCL-xL END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=78 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=95 end-page=106 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2024 dt-pub=202404 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The Roles of Neuropeptide Y in Respiratory Disease Pathogenesis via the Airway Immune Response en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The lungs are very complex organs, and the respiratory system performs the dual roles of repairing tissue while protecting against infection from various environmental stimuli. Persistent external irritation disrupts the immune responses of tissues and cells in the respiratory system, ultimately leading to respiratory disease. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino-acid polypeptide and a neurotransmitter that regulates homeostasis. The NPY receptor is a seven-transmembrane-domain G-protein-coupled receptor with six subtypes (Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, and Y6). Of these receptors, Y1, Y2, Y4, and Y5 are functional in humans, and Y1 plays important roles in the immune responses of many organs, including the respiratory system. NPY and the Y1 receptor have critical roles in the pathogenesis of asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. The effects of NPY on the airway immune response and pathogenesis differ among respiratory diseases. This review focuses on the involvement of NPY in the airway immune response and pathogenesis of various respiratory diseases. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ItanoJunko en-aut-sei=Itano en-aut-mei=Junko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KiuraKatsuyuki en-aut-sei=Kiura en-aut-mei=Katsuyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MaedaYoshinobu en-aut-sei=Maeda en-aut-mei=Yoshinobu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyaharaNobuaki en-aut-sei=Miyahara en-aut-mei=Nobuaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Hematology, Oncology and Respiratory Medicine, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Allergy and Respiratory Medicine, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Hematology, Oncology and Respiratory Medicine, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Allergy and Respiratory Medicine, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= en-keyword=neuropeptide y kn-keyword=neuropeptide y en-keyword=Y1 receptor kn-keyword=Y1 receptor en-keyword=airway immune response kn-keyword=airway immune response en-keyword=bronchial epithelial cells kn-keyword=bronchial epithelial cells en-keyword=respiratory disease kn-keyword=respiratory disease END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=57 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=169 end-page=181 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2024 dt-pub=20240329 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Relationship between Social Networks and ISO15189 Accreditation kn-title=ŽÐ‰ïƒlƒbƒgƒ[ƒN‚ÆISO15189”F’èŽæ“¾‚Ƃ̊֘A en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NAGATAHiroyo en-aut-sei=NAGATA en-aut-mei=Hiroyo kn-aut-name=‰i“cŒ[‘ã kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=Œ[‘ã aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ŽÐ‰ï•¶‰»‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=77 cd-vols= no-issue=6 article-no= start-page=635 end-page=645 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=202312 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Effects of Nutritional Support Combined with Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Muscle Strength and Thickness: A Randomized Controlled Trial in Healthy Young Adult Males en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In the management of post-injury patients with activity limitations, methods to prevent musculoskeletal disorders and hasten recovery are important. This randomized controlled, single-blinded study was a preliminary investigation of the combined effect of nutritional support with neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on muscle strength and thickness. Healthy young adult males (median age, 21 years) were enrolled; each of their hands was randomly assigned to one of the following four groups: Placebo, Nutrition, NMES, and Nutrition + NMES. All participants received whey protein or placebo (3x/week for 6 weeks) and NMES training (3x/week for 6 weeks) on the abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscle of either the left or right hand. ADM muscle strength and thickness were analyzed at baseline and at week 7. We analyzed 38 hands (9 Placebo, 10 Nutrition, 9 NMES, 10 Nutrition + NMES). There was significantly greater muscle strengthening in the Nutrition + NMES group compared to the Placebo group or the NMES group, but no significant difference in gain of muscle thickness. The combined intervention may be effective in improving muscle strength. Future clinical trials targeting various muscles after sports-related injuries are warranted. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IkedaTomohiro en-aut-sei=Ikeda en-aut-mei=Tomohiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkamuraKazunori en-aut-sei=Okamura en-aut-mei=Kazunori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=HasegawaMasaki en-aut-sei=Hasegawa en-aut-mei=Masaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanakaSatoshi en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Satoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanaiShusaku en-aut-sei=Kanai en-aut-mei=Shusaku kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health and Welfare, Prefectural University of Hiroshima kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health and Welfare, Prefectural University of Hiroshima kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health and Welfare, Prefectural University of Hiroshima kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Health and Welfare, Prefectural University of Hiroshima kn-affil= en-keyword=whey protein kn-keyword=whey protein en-keyword=electrical stimulation kn-keyword=electrical stimulation en-keyword=muscle strength kn-keyword=muscle strength en-keyword=healthy volunteers kn-keyword=healthy volunteers END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=40 cd-vols= no-issue=10 article-no= start-page=1035 end-page=1045 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=20220913 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Evidence on percutaneous radiofrequency and microwave ablation for liver metastases over the last decade en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Purpose@This review aimed to summarize the treatment outcomes of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and microwave ablation (MWA) for metastatic liver tumors based on the findings of published studies over the last decade.
Materials and methods@Literature describing the survival outcomes of ablation therapy for liver metastases was explored using the PubMed database on April 26, 2022, and articles published in 2012 or later were selected. The included studies met the following criteria: (i) English literature, (ii) original clinical studies, and (iii) literature describing overall survival (OS) of thermal ablation for metastatic liver tumors. All case reports and cohort studies with fewer than 20 patients and those that evaluated ablation for palliative purposes were excluded.
Results@RFA was the most commonly used method for ablation, while MWA was used in several recent studies. RFA and MWA for liver metastases from various primary tumors have been reported; however, majority of the studies focused on colorectal cancer. The local control rate by RFA and MWA varied widely among the studies, ranging approximately 50?90%. Five-year survival rates of 20?60% have been reported following ablation for colorectal liver metastases by a number of studies, and several reports of 10-year survival rates were also noted.
Conclusion@Comparative studies of local therapies for colorectal liver metastases demonstrated that RFA provides comparable survival outcomes to surgical metastasectomy and stereotactic body radiation therapy. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TomitaKoji en-aut-sei=Tomita en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuiYusuke en-aut-sei=Matsui en-aut-mei=Yusuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=UkaMayu en-aut-sei=Uka en-aut-mei=Mayu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=UmakoshiNoriyuki en-aut-sei=Umakoshi en-aut-mei=Noriyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawabataTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kawabata en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MunetomoKazuaki en-aut-sei=Munetomo en-aut-mei=Kazuaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataShoma en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Shoma kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=IguchiToshihiro en-aut-sei=Iguchi en-aut-mei=Toshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=HirakiTakao en-aut-sei=Hiraki en-aut-mei=Takao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Radiological Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Ablation kn-keyword=Ablation en-keyword=Liver kn-keyword=Liver en-keyword=Metastasis kn-keyword=Metastasis END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=155 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=105797 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=202311 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Ruxolitinib altered IFN-ƒÀ induced necroptosis of human dental pulp stem cells during osteoblast differentiation en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the role of ruxolitinib in the interferon beta (IFN-ƒÀ) mediated osteoblast differentiation using human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs).
Design: hDPSCs from five deciduous teeth of healthy patients were stimulated by adding human recombinant IFN-ƒÀ protein (1 or 2 ng/ml) to the osteogenic differentiation induction medium. Substrate formation was determined using Alizarin Red staining, calcium concentration, and osteoblast marker expression levels. Ruxolitinib was used to inhibit the Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK-STAT) pathway. Apoptosis was detected using terminal deoxynucleotidyl nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining, and necroptosis was detected using propidium iodide staining and phosphorylated mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (pMLKL) expression.
Results: In the IFN-ƒÀ-treated group, substrate formation was inhibited by a reduction in alkaline phosphatase (ALP) expression in a concentration-dependent manner. Although the proliferation potency was unchanged between the IFN-ƒÀ-treated and control groups, the cell number was significantly reduced in the experimental group. TUNEL-positive cell number was not significantly different; however, the protein level of necroptosis markers, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and pMLKL were significantly increased in the substrate formation. Cell number and ALP expression level were improved in the group administered ruxolitinib, a JAK-STAT inhibitor. Additionally, ruxolitinib significantly suppressed IL-6 and pMLKL levels.
Conclusion: Ruxolitinib interfered with the IFN-ƒÀ-mediated necroptosis and osteogenic differentiation via the JAK-STAT pathway. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TanakaAtsuko en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Atsuko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HayanoSatoru en-aut-sei=Hayano en-aut-mei=Satoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataMasayo en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Masayo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KosamiTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kosami en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=WangZiyi en-aut-sei=Wang en-aut-mei=Ziyi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KamiokaHiroshi en-aut-sei=Kamioka en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Orthodontics, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Orthodontics, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Orthodontics, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Orthodontics, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Orthodontics, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Type-I interferon kn-keyword=Type-I interferon en-keyword=Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription pathway kn-keyword=Janus kinase/signal transducers and activators of transcription pathway en-keyword=Osteoblast kn-keyword=Osteoblast en-keyword=Necroptosis kn-keyword=Necroptosis en-keyword=Singleton-Merten Syndrome kn-keyword=Singleton-Merten Syndrome END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=77 cd-vols= no-issue=5 article-no= start-page=545 end-page=552 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=202310 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Endoscopic Manifestations and Clinical Characteristics of Localized Gastric Light-Chain Amyloidosis en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=To determine the endoscopic and clinical features of localized gastric amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, we retrospectively examined the characteristics of nine patients (eight men and one woman) encountered by the hospitals in our network. Lesions were predominantly flat and depressed with surface vascular dilatation (n=5); others were characterized by subepithelial lesions (n=2), mucosal color change (n=1), and a mass-like morphology with swollen mucosal folds (n=1). Colonoscopy (n=7), video capsule enteroscopy (n=2), serum (n=5) and urine immunoelectrophoresis (n=4), and bone marrow examination (n=3) were performed to exclude involvement of organs other than the stomach. As treatment for gastric lesions of AL amyloidosis, one patient each underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (n=1) and argon plasma coagulation (n=1), while the remaining seven patients underwent no specific treatment. During a mean follow-up of 4.2 years, one patient died 3.2 years after diagnosis, but the cause of death, which occurred in another hospital, was unknown. The remaining eight patients were alive at the last visit. In conclusion, although localized gastric AL amyloidosis can show various macroscopic features on esophagogastroduodenoscopy, flat, depressed lesions with vascular dilatation on the surface are predominant. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IwamuroMasaya en-aut-sei=Iwamuro en-aut-mei=Masaya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanakaShouichi en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Shouichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ToyokawaTatsuya en-aut-sei=Toyokawa en-aut-mei=Tatsuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishimuraMamoru en-aut-sei=Nishimura en-aut-mei=Mamoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsuzukiTakao en-aut-sei=Tsuzuki en-aut-mei=Takao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyaharaKoji en-aut-sei=Miyahara en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=NegishiShin en-aut-sei=Negishi en-aut-mei=Shin kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhyaShogen en-aut-sei=Ohya en-aut-mei=Shogen kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanakaTakehiro en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Takehiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=OtsukaMotoyuki en-aut-sei=Otsuka en-aut-mei=Motoyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology, National Hospital Organization Iwakuni Clinical Center kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology, National Hospital Organization Fukuyama Medical Center kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Internal Medicine, Okayama City Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Internal Medicine, Japanese Red Cross Society Himeji Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Internal Medicine, Hiroshima City Hiroshima Citizens Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology, Kagawa Prefectural Central Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Kawaguchi Medical Clinic kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Pathology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=esophagogastroduodenoscopy kn-keyword=esophagogastroduodenoscopy en-keyword=gastric lesion kn-keyword=gastric lesion en-keyword=amyloidosis kn-keyword=amyloidosis en-keyword=light chain kn-keyword=light chain END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=40 cd-vols= no-issue=10 article-no= start-page=1024 end-page=1034 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=20220702 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Up-to-date evidence on image-guided thermal ablation for metastatic lung tumors: a review en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The aim of this review was to summarize the latest evidence on image-guided thermal ablation therapies for lung metastases. PubMed was used to search for relevant articles that reported the oncological outcomes of thermal ablation for metastatic lung tumors, and those published in 2010 or later were selected for review. Ablative therapies were applied for lung metastases from various types of primary tumors, but most commonly colorectal ones. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was the most evaluated technique, followed by microwave ablation (MWA). The local control rates of ablative therapies were generally favorable, approximately 80?90% in many studies. Representative studies demonstrated promising overall survival rates of approximately 50% or higher 5 years after ablation for lung metastases from colorectal cancer or mixed types of primary tumors. Nevertheless, the survival outcomes varied depending on the type of primary tumor and background factors of patients such as other metastases and comorbidities. Several studies had aimed to compare the outcomes of various ablative therapies such as RFA, MWA, and cryoablation; however, conclusive data are not yet available to determine the most appropriate ablation modality for lung metastases. Further data accumulation is needed, especially for long-term outcomes and comparisons with other therapies. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MatsuiYusuke en-aut-sei=Matsui en-aut-mei=Yusuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TomitaKoji en-aut-sei=Tomita en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=UkaMayu en-aut-sei=Uka en-aut-mei=Mayu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=UmakoshiNoriyuki en-aut-sei=Umakoshi en-aut-mei=Noriyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawabataTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kawabata en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MunetomoKazuaki en-aut-sei=Munetomo en-aut-mei=Kazuaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataShoma en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Shoma kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=IguchiToshihiro en-aut-sei=Iguchi en-aut-mei=Toshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=HirakiTakao en-aut-sei=Hiraki en-aut-mei=Takao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Radiological Technology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Ablation kn-keyword=Ablation en-keyword=Lung kn-keyword=Lung en-keyword=Pulmonary kn-keyword=Pulmonary en-keyword=Metastasis kn-keyword=Metastasis END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=6974 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=20230428 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=A blue-shifted anion channelrhodopsin from the Colpodellida alga Vitrella brassicaformis en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Microbial rhodopsins, a family of photoreceptive membrane proteins containing the chromophore retinal, show a variety of light-dependent molecular functions. Channelrhodopsins work as light-gated ion channels and are widely utilized for optogenetics, which is a method for controlling neural activities by light. Since two cation channelrhodopsins were identified from the chlorophyte alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, recent advances in genomic research have revealed a wide variety of channelrhodopsins including anion channelrhodopsins (ACRs), describing their highly diversified molecular properties (e.g., spectral sensitivity, kinetics and ion selectivity). Here, we report two channelrhodopsin-like rhodopsins from the Colpodellida alga Vitrella brassicaformis, which are phylogenetically distinct from the known channelrhodopsins. Spectroscopic and electrophysiological analyses indicated that these rhodopsins are green- and blue-sensitive pigments (lambda(max) = similar to 550 and similar to 440 nm) that exhibit light-dependent ion channeling activities. Detailed electrophysiological analysis revealed that one of them works as a monovalent anion (Cl-, Br- and NO3-) channel and we named it V. brassicaformis anion channelrhodopsin-2, VbACR2. Importantly, the absorption maximum of VbACR2 (similar to 440 nm) is blue-shifted among the known ACRs. Thus, we identified the new blue-shifted ACR, which leads to the expansion of the molecular diversity of ACRs. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KojimaKeiichi en-aut-sei=Kojima en-aut-mei=Keiichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawanishiShiho en-aut-sei=Kawanishi en-aut-mei=Shiho kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishimuraYosuke en-aut-sei=Nishimura en-aut-mei=Yosuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=HasegawaMasumi en-aut-sei=Hasegawa en-aut-mei=Masumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakaoShin en-aut-sei=Nakao en-aut-mei=Shin kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataYuya en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Yuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshizawaSusumu en-aut-sei=Yoshizawa en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=SudoYuki en-aut-sei=Sudo en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Research Center for Bioscience and Nanoscience (CeBN), Research Institute for Marine Resources Utilization, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Institute for Extra?Cutting?Edge Science and Technology Avant?Garde Research (X?Star) kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute, The University of Tokyo kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=77 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=235 end-page=241 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=202306 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Endocrinological Changes after Anamorelin Administration in Patients with Gastrointestinal Cancer en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Changes in hormone levels in patients with cancer cachexia after anamorelin administration have not been fully investigated. This study aimed to determine how anamorelin affects the endocrine system in patients with gastrointestinal cancer and cachexia. We prospectively enrolled 13 patients and comprehensively investigated their body weight and levels of serum albumin, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and hormones before (week 0) and 3 and 12 weeks after anamorelin administration. The variables were evaluated at week 3 in 9 patients and at week 12 in 5 patients. At week 3, anamorelin administration resulted in body weight gain and increased the levels of growth hormone and HbA1c, as well as insulin-like growth factor-1 standard deviation scores (IGF-1 SD scores). At the same time, negative correlations were observed between ƒ¢IGF-1 SD score and ƒ¢thyroidstimulating hormone (TSH) and between ƒ¢IGF-1 SD score and ƒ¢free testosterone. ƒ¢Body weight and ƒ¢IGF-1 SD score correlated positively at week 12. These results suggest that TSH and free testosterone levels can be affected 3 weeks after anamorelin administration; however, those variables tend to return to a state of equilibrium, and anabolic effects of anamorelin appear in long-term (? 12 weeks) users. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KuraokaSakiko en-aut-sei=Kuraoka en-aut-mei=Sakiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=IwamuroMasaya en-aut-sei=Iwamuro en-aut-mei=Masaya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SatomiTakuya en-aut-sei=Satomi en-aut-mei=Takuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamazakiTatsuhiro en-aut-sei=Yamazaki en-aut-mei=Tatsuhiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=HamadaKenta en-aut-sei=Hamada en-aut-mei=Kenta kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KonoYoshiyasu en-aut-sei=Kono en-aut-mei=Yoshiyasu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanzakiHiromitsu en-aut-sei=Kanzaki en-aut-mei=Hiromitsu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=KatoHironari en-aut-sei=Kato en-aut-mei=Hironari kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=OtsukaFumio en-aut-sei=Otsuka en-aut-mei=Fumio kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkadaHiroyuki en-aut-sei=Okada en-aut-mei=Hiroyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of General Medicine, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of General Medicine, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=anamorelin kn-keyword=anamorelin en-keyword=body weight kn-keyword=body weight en-keyword=cancer cachexia kn-keyword=cancer cachexia en-keyword=endocrine system kn-keyword=endocrine system END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol= cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=20230324 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=‰ºŠ{Ž}‚’¼œØ‚èp‚É”º‚¤‰ºŠ{“ª‚̈ʒu•ω»‚¨‚æ‚ѕψʂɊ֘A‚·‚é—vˆö‚ÌŒŸ“¢ en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NAGATAYuki en-aut-sei=NAGATA en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name=‰i“c—TŽ÷ kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=—TŽ÷ aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ˆãŽ•–òŠw‘‡Œ¤‹†‰È END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol= cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=20230324 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Ž•ŽüŠ´õE‰ŠÇ‚ª”DP‚âŽq‹{‘gD‚É‹y‚Ú‚·‰e‹¿‚̖ƉuŠw“IŒŸ“¢ en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NAGATAChiaki en-aut-sei=NAGATA en-aut-mei=Chiaki kn-aut-name=‰i“cç» kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=ç» aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ˆãŽ•–òŠw‘‡Œ¤‹†‰È END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=18 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=20230224 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Diarrhea and related personal characteristics among Japanese university students studying abroad in intermediate- and low-risk countries en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Despite an increasing number of students studying abroad worldwide, evidence about health risks while they are abroad is limited. Diarrhea is considered the most common travelers' illness, which would also apply to students studying abroad. We examined diarrhea and related personal characteristics among Japanese students studying abroad. Japanese university students who participated in short-term study abroad programs between summer 2016 and spring 2018 were targeted (n = 825, 6-38 travel days). Based on a 2-week-risk of diarrhea (passing three or more loose or liquid stools per day) among travelers by country, the destination was separated into intermediate- and low-risk countries. After this stratification, the associations between personal characteristics and diarrhea during the first two weeks of their stay were evaluated using logistic regression models. Among participants in intermediate-risk countries, teenagers, males and those with overseas travel experience were associated with an elevated risk of diarrhea; the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 2.42 (1.08-5.43) for teenagers (vs. twenties), 1.93 (1.08-3.45) for males (vs. females) and 2.37 (1.29-4.33) for those with overseas experience (vs. none). Even restricting an outcome to diarrhea during the first week did not change the results substantially. The same tendency was not observed for those in the low-risk countries. Teenage students, males and those with overseas travel experience should be cautious about diarrhea while studying abroad, specifically in intermediate-risk countries. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YamakawaMichiyo en-aut-sei=Yamakawa en-aut-mei=Michiyo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsudaToshihide en-aut-sei=Tsuda en-aut-mei=Toshihide kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=WadaKeiko en-aut-sei=Wada en-aut-mei=Keiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataChisato en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Chisato kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=SuzukiEtsuji en-aut-sei=Suzuki en-aut-mei=Etsuji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Epidemiology, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Human Ecology, Graduate School of Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, Gifu University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Epidemiology, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol= cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=20230401 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Renal cryoablation combined with prior transcatheter arterial embolization in non-dialysis patients with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease: a retrospective study en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Purpose@To retrospectively evaluate cryoablation combined with prior transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in non-dialysis patients with stage 4 or 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Materials and methods@Patients with stage 4 or 5 CKD undergoing TAE and cryoablation for RCC between May 2012 and October 2021 were included. TAE was selectively performed using iodized oil with absolute ethanol or gelatin sponge 1?14 days before cryoablation. Local efficacy, safety, and changes in renal function were evaluated.
Results@Nine patients (seven men and two women; median age, 64 years; range 52?88 years) with nine RCCs (mean diameter, 3.0?}?1.0 cm; range 1.7?4.7 cm) were included. The mean pre-treatment estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 24.2?}?5.6 ml/min/1.73 m2 (range 10.4?29.2 ml/min/1.73 m2). The mean amount of contrast medium used in TAE was 58?}?29 ml (range 40?128 ml). Except in one patient (grade 3 pyelonephritis), no grade???3 complications occurred. During the follow-up period (median, 18 months; range 7?54 months), no local tumor progression occurred. In two patients with pre-treatment eGFR of? Conclusion@Cryoablation combined with TAE for RCC in non-dialysis patients with stage 4 or 5 CKD was effective and safe, with an acceptable impact on renal function. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=UmakoshiNoriyuki en-aut-sei=Umakoshi en-aut-mei=Noriyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=IguchiToshihiro en-aut-sei=Iguchi en-aut-mei=Toshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuiYusuke en-aut-sei=Matsui en-aut-mei=Yusuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TomitaKoji en-aut-sei=Tomita en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=UkaMayu en-aut-sei=Uka en-aut-mei=Mayu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawabataTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kawabata en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MunetomoKazuaki en-aut-sei=Munetomo en-aut-mei=Kazuaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataShoma en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Shoma kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=GobaraHideo en-aut-sei=Gobara en-aut-mei=Hideo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=ArakiMotoo en-aut-sei=Araki en-aut-mei=Motoo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=HirakiTakao en-aut-sei=Hiraki en-aut-mei=Takao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Deptartment of Radiological Technology, Okayama University Graduate School of Health Science kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Division of Medical Informatics, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Renal cryoablation kn-keyword=Renal cryoablation en-keyword=Transcatheter arterial embolization kn-keyword=Transcatheter arterial embolization en-keyword=Chronic kidney disease kn-keyword=Chronic kidney disease END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=9 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=314 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=20230303 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The Fungal Metabolite (+)-Terrein Abrogates Inflammatory Bone Resorption via the Suppression of TNF-ƒ¿ Production in a Ligature-Induced Periodontitis Mouse Model en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Current periodontal treatment focuses on the mechanical removal of the source of infection, such as bacteria and their products, and there is no approach to control the host inflammatory response that leads to tissue destruction. In order to control periodontal inflammation, we have previously reported the optimization of (+)-terrein synthesis methods and the inhibitory effect of (+)-terrein on osteoclast differentiation in vitro. However, the pharmacological effect of (+)-terrein in vivo in the periodontitis model is still unknown. In this study, we investigated the effect of synthetic (+)-terrein on inflammatory bone resorption using a ligature-induced periodontitis mouse model. Synthetic (+)-terrein (30 mg/kg) was administered intraperitoneally twice a week to the mouse periodontitis model. The control group was treated with phosphate buffer. One to two weeks after the induction of periodontitis, the periodontal tissues were harvested for radiological evaluation (micro-CT), histological evaluation (HE staining and TRAP staining), and the evaluation of inflammatory cytokine production in the periodontal tissues and serum (quantitative reverse-transcription PCR, ELISA). The synthetic (+)-terrein-treated group suppressed alveolar bone resorption and the number of osteoclasts in the periodontal tissues compared to the control group (p < 0.05). In addition, synthetic (+)-terrein significantly suppressed both mRNA expression of TNF-ƒ¿ in the periodontal tissues and the serum concentration of TNF-ƒ¿ (both p < 0.05). In conclusion, we have demonstrated that synthetic (+)-terrein abrogates alveolar bone resorption via the suppression of TNF-ƒ¿ production and osteoclast differentiation in vivo. Therefore, we could expect potential clinical effects when using (+)-terrein on inflammatory bone resorption, including periodontitis. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SakoHidefumi en-aut-sei=Sako en-aut-mei=Hidefumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OmoriKazuhiro en-aut-sei=Omori en-aut-mei=Kazuhiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakayamaMasaaki en-aut-sei=Nakayama en-aut-mei=Masaaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MandaiHiroki en-aut-sei=Mandai en-aut-mei=Hiroki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=IdeguchiHidetaka en-aut-sei=Ideguchi en-aut-mei=Hidetaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=Yoshimura-NakagawaSaki en-aut-sei=Yoshimura-Nakagawa en-aut-mei=Saki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakaidaKyosuke en-aut-sei=Sakaida en-aut-mei=Kyosuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=Nagata-KameiChiaki en-aut-sei=Nagata-Kamei en-aut-mei=Chiaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiHiroya en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Hiroya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshiiSatoki en-aut-sei=Ishii en-aut-mei=Satoki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=OnoMitsuaki en-aut-sei=Ono en-aut-mei=Mitsuaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=IbaragiSoichiro en-aut-sei=Ibaragi en-aut-mei=Soichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamamotoTadashi en-aut-sei=Yamamoto en-aut-mei=Tadashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=13 ORCID= en-aut-name=SugaSeiji en-aut-sei=Suga en-aut-mei=Seiji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=14 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakashibaShogo en-aut-sei=Takashiba en-aut-mei=Shogo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=15 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Periodontics and Endodontics, Division of Dentistry, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Pathophysiology-Periodontal Science, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Oral Microbiology, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Pharmacy, Faculty of Pharmacy, Gifu University of Medical Science kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Pathophysiology-Periodontal Science, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Periodontics and Endodontics, Division of Dentistry, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Periodontics and Endodontics, Division of Dentistry, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Pathophysiology-Periodontal Science, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Pathophysiology-Periodontal Science, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Division of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Sciences and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Department of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Biopathology, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=13 en-affil=Department of Pathophysiology-Periodontal Science, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=14 en-affil=Division of Applied Chemistry, Graduate School of Natural Sciences and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=15 en-affil=Department of Pathophysiology-Periodontal Science, Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=synthetic (+)-terrein kn-keyword=synthetic (+)-terrein en-keyword=periodontitis kn-keyword=periodontitis en-keyword= TNF-ƒ¿ kn-keyword= TNF-ƒ¿ END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=77 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=121 end-page=129 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=202304 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Complications of Percutaneous Cryoablation for Renal Tumors and Methods for Avoiding Them en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Percutaneous cryoablation of renal tumors is widely used because of its high efficacy and safety. This high safety can be attributed, at least in part, to the visibility of the ablated area as an gice ballh. This therapy has fewer complications (incidence, 0-7.2%) and is less invasive than surgery. Minor bleeding is inevitable in most kidney-related procedures, and indeed the most common complication of this therapy is bleeding (hematoma and hematuria). However, patients require treatment such as transfusion or transarterial embolization in only 0-4% of bleeding cases. Various other complications such as ureteral or collecting system injury, bowel injury, nerve injury, skin injury, infection, pneumothorax, and tract seeding also occur, but they are usually minor and asymptomatic. However, operators should know and avoid the various complications associated with this therapy. This study aimed to summarize the complications of percutaneous cryoablation for renal tumors and provide some techniques for achieving safe procedures. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IguchiToshihiro en-aut-sei=Iguchi en-aut-mei=Toshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuiYusuke en-aut-sei=Matsui en-aut-mei=Yusuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TomitaKoji en-aut-sei=Tomita en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=UkaMayu en-aut-sei=Uka en-aut-mei=Mayu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=UmakoshiNoriyuki en-aut-sei=Umakoshi en-aut-mei=Noriyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawabataTakahiro en-aut-sei=Kawabata en-aut-mei=Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MunetomoKazuaki en-aut-sei=Munetomo en-aut-mei=Kazuaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataShoma en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Shoma kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=ArakiMotoo en-aut-sei=Araki en-aut-mei=Motoo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=HirakiTakao en-aut-sei=Hiraki en-aut-mei=Takao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= en-keyword=cryosurgery kn-keyword=cryosurgery en-keyword=kidney neoplasms kn-keyword=kidney neoplasms en-keyword=carcinoma kn-keyword=carcinoma en-keyword=renal cell kn-keyword=renal cell en-keyword=complication kn-keyword=complication END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=77 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=105 end-page=109 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2023 dt-pub=202302 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Initial Two Doses of COVID-19 Vaccine mRNA-1273 for an Individual Previously Vaccinated with Two Doses of an Inactivated Vaccine CoronaVac That Has Not Been Approved in Japan en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine CoronaVac has not been approved in Japan. Little information is available on cases in Japan in which an approved mRNA vaccine was administered as the initial (first or second) dose after two doses of CoronaVac. Furthermore, the safety and efficacy of this combination are not established. We here evaluated the safety and efficacy in a patient who showed an antibody response to an approved vaccine, mRNA-1273, after a previous vaccination with CoronaVac. The adverse events consisted of only mild local and systemic common reactions and were transient. In addition, a strong and persistent antibody response was observed. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IwasakiYoshiaki en-aut-sei=Iwasaki en-aut-mei=Yoshiaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HiguchiChigusa en-aut-sei=Higuchi en-aut-mei=Chigusa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Health Service Center, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Health Service Center, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=coronavirus disease 2019 kn-keyword=coronavirus disease 2019 en-keyword=severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 kn-keyword=severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 en-keyword=vaccine kn-keyword=vaccine en-keyword=adverse events kn-keyword=adverse events en-keyword=antibody response kn-keyword=antibody response END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=76 cd-vols= no-issue=6 article-no= start-page=743 end-page=748 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=202212 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Posterolateral Floating Technique for the Thoracic Ossification of the Posterior Longitudinal Ligament with Navigation: A Technical Note en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=We describe a floating technique via a posterolateral approach with intraoperative O-arm navigation to facilitate decompression of the spinal cord in thoracic myelopathy due to severe ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL). A 62-year-old man with myelopathy due to thoracic OPLL had left-leg muscle weakness, urinary disturbance, and spastic gait. Bilateral leg pain and gait disturbance had persisted for 2 years. He was successfully treated by the posterolateral OPLL floating procedure and posterior pedicle fixation under O-arm navigation. At a 2-year follow-up, manual muscle testing results and sensory function of the left leg had recovered fully. His cervical Japanese Orthopedic Association score had improved from 5/12 to 11/12. The novel intraoperative O-arm navigation-guided posterolateral floating procedure for thoracic OPLL is effective for achieving precise decompression and strong fixation with a posterior approach only and can provide an excellent result for severe thoracic OPLL without the risk of adverse events from intraoperative radiation. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TanakaMasato en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Masato kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=SutharHardik en-aut-sei=Suthar en-aut-mei=Hardik kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=DesaiDhvanit en-aut-sei=Desai en-aut-mei=Dhvanit kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamauchiTaro en-aut-sei=Yamauchi en-aut-mei=Taro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=AratakiShinya en-aut-sei=Arataki en-aut-mei=Shinya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiwaraYoshihiro en-aut-sei=Fujiwara en-aut-mei=Yoshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=UotaniKoji en-aut-sei=Uotani en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=OdaYoshiaki en-aut-sei=Oda en-aut-mei=Yoshiaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=MisawaHaruo en-aut-sei=Misawa en-aut-mei=Haruo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= en-keyword=ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament kn-keyword=ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament en-keyword=floating method kn-keyword=floating method en-keyword= navigation surgery kn-keyword= navigation surgery en-keyword=C-arm free kn-keyword=C-arm free END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=76 cd-vols= no-issue=6 article-no= start-page=705 end-page=713 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=202212 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=The Impact of Tofogliflozin on Physiological and Hormonal Function, Serum Electrolytes, and Cardiac Diastolic Function in Elderly Japanese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The sodium glucose transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor tofogliflozin is a glucose-lowering drug that causes the excretion of surplus glucose by inhibiting SGLT2. Because of tofogliflozinfs osmotic diuresis mechanism, patientsf serum electrolytes, body fluid levels, and cardiac function must be monitored. We retrospectively analyzed the cases of 64 elderly Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who received tofogliflozin for 3 months. Their HbA1c, serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride), hematocrit, brain natriuretic peptide (cardiac volume load marker) and renin and aldosterone (RAA; an index of regulatory hormones involved in body fluid retention) were continuously monitored during the investigation period. Renal function and cardiac function (by echocardiography) were assessed throughout the period. HbA1c significantly decreased (ƒÀ1=?0.341, p<0.0001, linear regression analysis [LRA]). Most of the hormonal, electrolyte, and physiological parameters were maintained throughout the study period. In these circumstances, E/ef tended to decrease (ƒÀ1=?0.382, p=0.13, LRA). Compared to the baseline, E/ef was significantly decreased at 1 and 3 months (p<0.01, p<0.05). In the higher E/ef group (E/ef?10, n=34), E/ef decreased significantly (ƒÀ1=?0.63, p<0.05, LRA). ƒ¢E/ef was correlated with body-weight change during treatment (r=0.64, p<0.01). The 3-month tofogliflozin treatment improved glycemic control and diastolic function represented by E/ef in T2DM patients, without affecting serum electrolytes, renal function, or RAA. No negative impacts on the patients were observed. Three-month tofogliflozin treatment lowered glucose and improved cardiac diastolic function. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HigashikawaToshihiro en-aut-sei=Higashikawa en-aut-mei=Toshihiro

We report a surgical case of refractory epilepsy caused by a solitary cortical tuber mimicking focal cortical dysplasia type II, and describe the radiological, electrophysiological, and histopathological findings of our case. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HosomotoKakeru en-aut-sei=Hosomoto en-aut-mei=Kakeru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=SasakiTatsuya en-aut-sei=Sasaki en-aut-mei=Tatsuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawaiKoji en-aut-sei=Kawai en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkazakiYosuke en-aut-sei=Okazaki en-aut-mei=Yosuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=HyodoYuki en-aut-sei=Hyodo en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShibataTakashi en-aut-sei=Shibata en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=SasadaSusumu en-aut-sei=Sasada en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=YasuharaTakao en-aut-sei=Yasuhara en-aut-mei=Takao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiKatsuhiro en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Katsuhiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=YanaiHiroyuki en-aut-sei=Yanai en-aut-mei=Hiroyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=DateIsao en-aut-sei=Date en-aut-mei=Isao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Child Neurology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Child Neurology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Child Neurology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Diagnostic Pathology,Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=cortical tuber kn-keyword=cortical tuber en-keyword=epilepsy kn-keyword=epilepsy en-keyword=focal cortical dysplasia kn-keyword=focal cortical dysplasia en-keyword=transmantle sign kn-keyword=transmantle sign en-keyword=tuberous sclerosis complex kn-keyword=tuberous sclerosis complex END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=53 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=141 end-page=145 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1999 dt-pub=199906 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Medical studentsf perception of inpatientsf anxiety, self-esteem, purpose-in-life and health locus of control as compared with nursing practitionersf en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Medical students (fourth-year: n = 67; fifth-year: n = 63) estimated inpatients' feelings of anxiety, self-esteem, purpose-in-life, and multidimensional health locus of control. Their ratings were compared both with the ratings given by the 121 inpatients themselves and with those given by nursing practitioners (nurses and nursing students). Findings showed that the medical students overestimated inpatients' anxiety, while they underestimated the inpatients' purpose-in-life and internal health locus of control. Hence they underestimated, as did the nursing practitioners, the inpatients' positive emotional states and their positive attitude toward their own lives. Fifth-year medical students, with clinical experience, rated the inpatients' score of chance health locus of control higher than did the fourth-year medical students, who had no clinical experience. These findings indicate that medical students, like nursing practitioners, are inclined to pay more attention to inpatients' weaknesses than to their strengths. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataHiroshi en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhtaTakeo en-aut-sei=Ohta en-aut-mei=Takeo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=AoyamaHideyasu en-aut-sei=Aoyama en-aut-mei=Hideyasu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Faculty of Economics, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Faculty of Health Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Hygiene and Preventive Medicine, Okayama University Medical School kn-affil= en-keyword=inpatient's mental health kn-keyword=inpatient's mental health en-keyword=anxiety kn-keyword=anxiety en-keyword=self-esteem kn-keyword=self-esteem en-keyword=purpose-in-life kn-keyword=purpose-in-life en-keyword=health locus of control kn-keyword=health locus of control END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=75 cd-vols= no-issue=5 article-no= start-page=625 end-page=629 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2021 dt-pub=202110 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Histologic Transformation from Follicular Lymphoma to Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Detected during Colonoscopy en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=A 77-year-old Japanese woman who had been treated for follicular lymphoma for 8 years developed abdominal pain and intra-abdominal lymphadenopathies.

The vast majority of ERMs are considered idiopathic. However, ERM formation can result from various primary intraocular diseases, including retinal breaks and detachment, retinal vascular diseases, and vitreoretinal inflammatory conditions. Although ERMs are generally asymptomatic or cause mild metamorphopsia and/or a modest decrease in visual acuity, some can cause severe macular distortion and macular edema, resulting in significantly impaired function. Surgical removal of ERM is the only treatment, and improvements in vitrectomy systems have enabled less invasive treatment. However, there are currently no standardized criteria for ERM surgery, and the indications for surgery are determined from the patientfs subjective symptoms. Another problem with ERM surgery is that not all patients show satisfactory postoperative recovery of visual function. Thus, further research is needed to determine the criteria for ERM surgery and methods to improve the postoperative prognosis. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MatobaRyo en-aut-sei=Matoba en-aut-mei=Ryo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorizaneYuki en-aut-sei=Morizane en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=epiretinal membrane kn-keyword=epiretinal membrane en-keyword=vitrectomy kn-keyword=vitrectomy en-keyword=optical coherence tomography kn-keyword=optical coherence tomography en-keyword=internal limiting membrane kn-keyword=internal limiting membrane en-keyword=lamellar macular hole kn-keyword=lamellar macular hole END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=75 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=345 end-page=349 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2021 dt-pub=202106 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Predictors of Hypotension after Adrenalectomy for Pheochromocytoma en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The management of blood pressure is a significant concern for surgeons and anesthesiologists performing adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma. We evaluated clinical factors in pheochromocytoma patients to identify the predictors of postoperative hypotension. The medical records of patients who underwent adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma between 2001 and 2017 were retrospectively reviewed and clinical and biochemical data were evaluated. Of 29 patients, 13 patients needed catecholamine support in the perisurgical period while 16 patients did not. There were significant differences in median age, tumor size, and blood pressure drop (maxmin) between the 2 groups (68 vs 53 years old, p=0.045; 50 vs 32 mm diameter, p=0.022; 110 vs 71 mmHg, p=0.015 respectively). In univariate logistic analysis, age > 65.5 years, tumor size > 34.5 mm, urine metanephrine > 0.205 mg/day and urine normetanephrine > 0.665 mg/day were significant predictors of prolonged hypotension requiring postoperative catecholamine support. Tumor size and urine metanephrine and urine normetanephrine levels were correlated with postoperative hypotension. These predictors may help in the safe perioperative management of pheochromocytoma patients treated with adrenalectomy. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KoyamaKanae en-aut-sei=Koyama en-aut-mei=Kanae kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiuraNoriyoshi en-aut-sei=Miura en-aut-mei=Noriyoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeRyuta en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Ryuta kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SawadaYuichiro en-aut-sei=Sawada en-aut-mei=Yuichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NodaTerutaka en-aut-sei=Noda en-aut-mei=Terutaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishimuraKenichi en-aut-sei=Nishimura en-aut-mei=Kenichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=AsaiSeiji en-aut-sei=Asai en-aut-mei=Seiji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=FukumotoTetsuya en-aut-sei=Fukumoto en-aut-mei=Tetsuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=YanagiharaYutaka en-aut-sei=Yanagihara en-aut-mei=Yutaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyauchiYuki en-aut-sei=Miyauchi en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=KikugawaTadahiko en-aut-sei=Kikugawa en-aut-mei=Tadahiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=SaikaTakashi en-aut-sei=Saika en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Department of Urology, Graduate School of Medicine, Ehime University kn-affil= en-keyword=urinary metanephrine kn-keyword=urinary metanephrine en-keyword= urinary normetanephrine kn-keyword= urinary normetanephrine en-keyword=adrenalectomy kn-keyword=adrenalectomy en-keyword=pheochromocytoma kn-keyword=pheochromocytoma END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=75 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=115 end-page=123 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2021 dt-pub=202104 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Awareness of Complications of Dental Treatment in Patients Treated with Drugs Affecting the Immune System : A Nationwide Questionnaire Survey of Dental Practitioners in Japan en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The aim of this study was to investigate the awareness and experience, among dental practitioners, of adverse events resulting from dental treatment of patients undergoing therapy with drugs that affect the immune system [angiogenesis inhibitors, biological agents, immunosuppressants, and disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs)]. For this purpose, a nationwide questionnaire survey was conducted. Questionnaires were sent to 2,050 dentists, of which 206 (10.1%) were completed and returned. The results showed that most dentists were aware of complications associated with dental treatment of patients treated with drugs that affect the immune system, and about half had actually experienced such complications. Delayed wound healing, osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), and postoperative infections were reported. Whereas approximately 50% of dentists did not discontinue the drugs during dental treatment, about 18% did. During temporary drug discontinuation, some patients experienced aggravation of the primary disease, such as worsening of rheumatism, growth of tumors, and rejection reactions of transplanted organs. As for medical cooperation, only less than half of the dentists were asked for oral hygiene management by a physician prior to starting the drug treatment. Prospective studies are needed because evidence for dental treatments in patients treated with these drugs remains limited. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HitomiNishizaki en-aut-sei=Hitomi en-aut-mei=Nishizaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshinariMorimoto en-aut-sei=Yoshinari en-aut-mei=Morimoto kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamadaShin-ichi en-aut-sei=Yamada en-aut-mei=Shin-ichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KuritaHiroshi en-aut-sei=Kurita en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanakaAkira en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Akira kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamaguchiAkira en-aut-sei=Yamaguchi en-aut-mei=Akira kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyataMasaru en-aut-sei=Miyata en-aut-mei=Masaru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshikawaHiromasa en-aut-sei=Yoshikawa en-aut-mei=Hiromasa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=YanamotoSouichi en-aut-sei=Yanamoto en-aut-mei=Souichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=ImaiYutaka en-aut-sei=Imai en-aut-mei=Yutaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Critical Care Medicine and Dentistry, Graduate School of Dentistry, Kanagawa Dental University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Critical Care Medicine and Dentistry, Graduate School of Dentistry, Kanagawa Dental University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=The survey and research-planning committee, Japanese Society for Dentistry of Medically Compromised Patient kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=The survey and research-planning committee, Japanese Society for Dentistry of Medically Compromised Patient kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=The survey and research-planning committee, Japanese Society for Dentistry of Medically Compromised Patient kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=The survey and research-planning committee, Japanese Society for Dentistry of Medically Compromised Patient kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=The survey and research-planning committee, Japanese Society for Dentistry of Medically Compromised Patient kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=The survey and research-planning committee, Japanese Society for Dentistry of Medically Compromised Patient kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=The survey and research-planning committee, Japanese Society for Dentistry of Medically Compromised Patient kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=The survey and research-planning committee, Japanese Society for Dentistry of Medically Compromised Patient kn-affil= en-keyword=angiogenesis inhibitor kn-keyword=angiogenesis inhibitor en-keyword=biological agent kn-keyword=biological agent en-keyword=disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) kn-keyword=disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) en-keyword=immunosuppressant kn-keyword=immunosuppressant en-keyword=medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) kn-keyword=medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=22 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=1024 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2021 dt-pub=20210120 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Genetic Elucidation for Response of Flowering Time to Ambient Temperatures in Asian Rice Cultivars en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Climate resilience of crops is critical for global food security. Understanding the genetic basis of plant responses to ambient environmental changes is key to developing resilient crops. To detect genetic factors that set flowering time according to seasonal temperature conditions, we evaluated differences of flowering time over years by using chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) derived from japonica rice cultivars "Koshihikari" x "Khao Nam Jen", each with different robustness of flowering time to environmental fluctuations. The difference of flowering times in 9 years' field tests was large in "Khao Nam Jen" (36.7 days) but small in "Koshihikari" (9.9 days). Part of this difference was explained by two QTLs. A CSSL with a "Khao Nam Jen" segment on chromosome 11 showed 28.0 days' difference; this QTL would encode a novel flowering-time gene. Another CSSL with a segment from "Khao Nam Jen" in the region around Hd16 on chromosome 3 showed 23.4 days" difference. A near-isogenic line (NIL) for Hd16 showed 21.6 days' difference, suggesting Hd16 as a candidate for this QTL. RNA-seq analysis showed differential expression of several flowering-time genes between early and late flowering seasons.

A major adverse effect associated with the administration of the taxane docetaxel is chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). We are conducting a singlecenter, single-arm, open-label historical control trial to evaluate the ability of compression therapy using stockings or sleeves to prevent CIPN due to docetaxel treatment. The primary endpoint is the incidence of all-grade CIPN according to patientsf records until 3 weeks after the fourth docetaxel administration. This studyfs results will clarify whether compression therapy using stockings or sleeves can prevent CIPN in breast cancer patients. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YamanouchiKosho en-aut-sei=Yamanouchi en-aut-mei=Kosho kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KubaSayaka en-aut-sei=Kuba en-aut-mei=Sayaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsumotoMegumi en-aut-sei=Matsumoto en-aut-mei=Megumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YanoHiroshi en-aut-sei=Yano en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=MoritaMichi en-aut-sei=Morita en-aut-mei=Michi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakimuraChika en-aut-sei=Sakimura en-aut-mei=Chika kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=OtsuboRyota en-aut-sei=Otsubo en-aut-mei=Ryota kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanetakaKengo en-aut-sei=Kanetaka en-aut-mei=Kengo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagayasuTakeshi en-aut-sei=Nagayasu en-aut-mei=Takeshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=EguchiSusumu en-aut-sei=Eguchi en-aut-mei=Susumu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Science kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Science kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Surgical Oncology, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Science kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Surgical Oncology, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Science kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Science kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Science kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Surgical Oncology, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Science kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Science kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Surgical Oncology, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Science kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Science kn-affil= en-keyword=breast cancer kn-keyword=breast cancer en-keyword=docetaxel kn-keyword=docetaxel en-keyword=neuropathy kn-keyword=neuropathy en-keyword=compression kn-keyword=compression END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=240 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=032001 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=2019 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Numerical study of air-entraining and submerged vortices in a pump sump en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Numerical detection of harmful vortices in pump sumps, such as an air-entraining vortex (AEV) and a submerged vortex (SMV), is crucially important to develop the drain pump machinery. We performed numerical simulations of the benchmark experiments of the pump sump conducted by Matsui et al. (2006 and 2016) using the OpenFOAM and compared the simulation results with the experimental data considering the effects of turbulence model, grid density and detection method of the vortices. We studied the threshold of the gas-liquid volume fraction of the VOF method and the second invariant of velocity gradient tensor to identify AEV and SMV. The methods proposed in the present paper were found to be very effective for the detection of the vortices, and the simulation results by RANS with the SST k-omega model successfully reproduced the experimental data. LES with the Smagorinsky model, however, was sensitive to the grid system and difficult to reproduce the experimental data even for the finest grid system having 3.7 million cells in the present study. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YanaseShinichiro en-aut-sei=Yanase en-aut-mei=Shinichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamasakiRyo en-aut-sei=Yamasaki en-aut-mei=Ryo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KouchiToshinori en-aut-sei=Kouchi en-aut-mei=Toshinori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=HosodaShunsuke en-aut-sei=Hosoda en-aut-mei=Shunsuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataYasunori en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Yasunori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShunjiHiguchi en-aut-sei=Shunji en-aut-mei=Higuchi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawabeToshihiko en-aut-sei=Kawabe en-aut-mei=Toshihiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakamiToshihiro en-aut-sei=Takami en-aut-mei=Toshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Mechanical and Systems Engineering, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Technical Division, Tsurumi Manufacturing Co. kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Mechanical and Systems Engineering, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Mechanical and Systems Engineering, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Mechanical and Systems Engineering, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Technical Division, Tsurumi Manufacturing Co. kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Technical Division, Tsurumi Manufacturing Co. kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Mechanical and Systems Engineering, Okayama University of Science kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=2 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=20190603 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance study of setting mechanism of beta-tricalcium phosphate-inositol phosphate composite cements en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a technique, which can be used to provide insight into the chemical structure of non-crystalline and crystalline materials. Hence, the present study aimed to elucidate the setting mechanism of CPC, which was fabricated using beta -tricalcium phosphate (beta -TCP)-inositol phosphate (IP6) composite powder using NMR In addition, the effect of IP6 on the local chemical structure of the beta -TCP-IP6 composite powder and its hardened cement would also be investigated. The H-1 -> P-31 heteronuclear correlation NMR spectrum revealed that an amorphous hydrated layer, along with small amount of hydroxyapatite (HA) was formed on the surface of beta -TCP during the ball-milling process. Results demonstrated that the IP6 in the hydrated layer on the surface of beta -TCP inhibited the formation of HA. Moreover, the setting reaction of the cement was mainly triggered by the dissolution of the amorphous hydrated layer on beta -TCP surface, and subsequent precipitation, followed by the inter-entanglement between the HA crystals on the beta -TCP. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KonishiToshiisa en-aut-sei=Konishi en-aut-mei=Toshiisa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamashitaKohei en-aut-sei=Yamashita en-aut-mei=Kohei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataKohei en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Kohei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=LimPoon Nian en-aut-sei=Lim en-aut-mei=Poon Nian kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ThianEng San en-aut-sei=Thian en-aut-mei=Eng San kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=AizawaMamoru en-aut-sei=Aizawa en-aut-mei=Mamoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Organization for the Strategic Coordination of Research and Intellectual Property, Meiji University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Mechanical Engineering, National University of Singapore kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Applied Chemistry, School of Science and Technology, Meiji University kn-affil= en-keyword=beta-tricalcium phosphate kn-keyword=beta-tricalcium phosphate en-keyword=calcium-phosphate cement kn-keyword=calcium-phosphate cement en-keyword=inositol phosphate kn-keyword=inositol phosphate en-keyword=solid-state NMR kn-keyword=solid-state NMR en-keyword=setting mechanism kn-keyword=setting mechanism END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=74 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=103 end-page=108 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2020 dt-pub=202004 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Effects of Switching from Treatment with Amlodipine and Atorvastatin Using Two Pills to an Equal Dose of Single-Pill Therapy in Japanese Outpatients en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= This study examined whether switching from amlodipine and atorvastatin treatment using two pills to an equal dose of single-pill therapy is useful in Japanese outpatients. We retrospectively reviewed data obtained from 94 outpatients for whom treatment with two pills, namely amlodipine and atorvastatin, was switched to an equal dose of single-pill therapy in 11 hospitals. The criterion for enrollment in this study was that patients had switched their medication without changing other anti-hypertensive or anti-cholesterol drugs. Neither systolic nor diastolic blood pressure changed significantly after switching to an equal dose of single-pill therapy, whereas low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels significantly decreased after the medication was switched from 94}24 mg/dl to 89}17 mg/dl (p=0.015). A switch from medication with two separate pills of amlodipine and atorvastatin to an equal dose of single-pill therapy resulted in an overall decrease in LDL cholesterol. The results indicated that the switch to single-pill therapy might be a useful treatment. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KawadaYasumasa en-aut-sei=Kawada en-aut-mei=Yasumasa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KuboToru en-aut-sei=Kubo en-aut-mei=Toru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=BabaYuichi en-aut-sei=Baba en-aut-mei=Yuichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=HirotaTakayoshi en-aut-sei=Hirota en-aut-mei=Takayoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TaniokaKatsutoshi en-aut-sei=Tanioka en-aut-mei=Katsutoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamasakiNaohito en-aut-sei=Yamasaki en-aut-mei=Naohito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KitaokaHiroaki en-aut-sei=Kitaoka en-aut-mei=Hiroaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Cardiology and Geriatrics, Kochi Medical School, Kochi University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Cardiology and Geriatrics, Kochi Medical School, Kochi University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Cardiology and Geriatrics, Kochi Medical School, Kochi University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Cardiology and Geriatrics, Kochi Medical School, Kochi University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Cardiology and Geriatrics, Kochi Medical School, Kochi University kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Cardiology and Geriatrics, Kochi Medical School, Kochi University kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Cardiology and Geriatrics, Kochi Medical School, Kochi University kn-affil= en-keyword=hypertension kn-keyword=hypertension en-keyword=dyslipidemia kn-keyword=dyslipidemia en-keyword=single-pill therapy kn-keyword=single-pill therapy END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=73 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=367 end-page=372 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=201908 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=A Patient with Type 3 Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome who Developed Systemic Lupus Erythematosus 8 years after the Diagnosis of Autoimmune Hepatitis en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= Eight years prior to her present admission, a 61-year-old Japanese woman was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis, slowly progressive insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and chronic thyroiditis; she had been treated with oral prednisolone (PSL). After she suddenly discontinued PSL, she newly developed systemic lupus erythematosus. A combination therapy of oral PSL and intravenous cyclophosphamide resulted in remission. She was finally diagnosed with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome (APS) type 3 (3A ,3B, 3D), complicated with four different autoimmune diseases. Since patients with type 3 APS may present many manifestations over a long period of time, they should be carefully monitored. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=Mifune-MoriokaTomoyo en-aut-sei=Mifune-Morioka en-aut-mei=Tomoyo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=A.

Computed tomography showed wall thickening, poor contrast enhancement and calcification of the ascending colon, which were consistent with phlebosclerotic colitis. Malignant character was not detected from a biopsy specimen. Operatively, we observed a scirrhous mass of the ascending colon invading surrounding tissue, which was diagnosed as signet ring cell carcinoma based on analysis of an intraoperative frozen section. Right hemicolectomy with regional lymph node dissection was performed. This case was extremely similar to phlebosclerotic colitis in clinical findings; surgical resection was required for correct diagnosis. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WatanabeAyako en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Ayako kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KadowakiYoshihiko en-aut-sei=Kadowaki en-aut-mei=Yoshihiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=HattoriKenji en-aut-sei=Hattori en-aut-mei=Kenji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=OhmoriMika en-aut-sei=Ohmori en-aut-mei=Mika kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsukayamaHiroyuki en-aut-sei=Tsukayama en-aut-mei=Hiroyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KubotaNobuhito en-aut-sei=Kubota en-aut-mei=Nobuhito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkumotoTatsuo en-aut-sei=Okumoto en-aut-mei=Tatsuo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshidoNobuhiro en-aut-sei=Ishido en-aut-mei=Nobuhiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkinoTakeshi en-aut-sei=Okino en-aut-mei=Takeshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Japanese Red Cross Kobe Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Japanese Red Cross Kobe Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Japanese Red Cross Kobe Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Radiology, Japanese Red Cross Kobe Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Japanese Red Cross Kobe Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Japanese Red Cross Kobe Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Japanese Red Cross Kobe Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Surgery, Japanese Red Cross Kobe Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Pathology, Japanese Red Cross Kobe Hospital kn-affil= en-keyword=phlebosclerotic colitis kn-keyword=phlebosclerotic colitis en-keyword=colorectal cancer kn-keyword=colorectal cancer en-keyword=signet ring cell carcinoma kn-keyword=signet ring cell carcinoma en-keyword=young colorectal cancer kn-keyword=young colorectal cancer END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=73 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=285 end-page=297 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=201908 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Dynamic Reorganization of Microtubule and Glioma Invasion en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= Gliomas are characterized as highly diffuse infiltrating tumors, and currently available treatments such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are unfeasible or show limited efficacy against these tumors. Recent genetic and epigenetic analyses of glioma have revealed increasing evidence of the role of driver genetic alterations in glioma development and led to the identification of prognostic factors. Despite these findings, the survival rates of glioma patients remain low, and alternative treatments and novel targets are needed. Recent studies identified neural stem cells as the possible origin of gliomas, and some evidence has revealed shared functions and mechanisms between glioma cells and neurons, also supporting their similarity. The cytoskeleton plays important roles in the migration of normal cells as well as cancer cells. Recent reports have described a role for microtubules, a component of the cytoskeleton, in glioma invasion. Notably, several factors that regulate microtubule functions, such as microtubule-associated proteins, plus-end tracking proteins, or motor proteins, are upregulated in glioma tissues compared with normal tissue, and upregulation of these factors is associated with high invasiveness of glioma cells. In this review, we describe the mechanism of microtubules in glioma invasion and discuss the possibility of microtubule-targeted therapy to inhibit glioma invasion. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OtaniYoshihiro en-aut-sei=Otani en-aut-mei=Yoshihiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=IchikawaTomotsugu en-aut-sei=Ichikawa en-aut-mei=Tomotsugu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KurozumiKazuhiko en-aut-sei=Kurozumi en-aut-mei=Kazuhiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=DateIsao en-aut-sei=Date en-aut-mei=Isao kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Neurosurgery, The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Neurosurgery, Kagawa Prefectural Central Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=glioma kn-keyword=glioma en-keyword=cytoskeletons kn-keyword=cytoskeletons en-keyword=invasion kn-keyword=invasion en-keyword=microtubules kn-keyword=microtubules END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=73 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=263 end-page=267 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=201906 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Sudden, Sharp Turn in an AIDS Patientfs Course Following the Onset of Fulminant Type 1 Diabetes en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= A previously healthy 40-year-old Japanese male was urgently admitted with a 2-month history of dysphagia, 30-kg weight loss, and fever.

We measured histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRG), a new biomarker of aSAH, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to investigate whether HRG might be an early predictor of CVS. A total of seven controls and 14 aSAH patients (8 males, 6 females aged 53.4}15.4 years) were enrolled, and serial CSF and serum samples were taken. We allocated these samples to three phases (T1-T3) and measured HRG, interleukin (IL)-6, fibrinopeptide A (FpA), and 8-hydroxy-2f-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG) in the CSF, and the HRG in serum. We also examined the release of HRG in rat blood incubated in artificial CSF. In contrast to the other biomarkers examined, the change in the CSF HRG concentration was significantly different between the nonspasm and spasm groups (p<0.01). The rat blood/CSF model revealed a time course similar to that of the human CSF samples in the non-spasm group. HRG thus appears to have the potential to become an early predictor of CVS. In addition, the interaction of HRG with IL-6, FpA, and 8OHdG may form the pathology of CVS. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MatsumotoAtsushi en-aut-sei=Matsumoto en-aut-mei=Atsushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakamuraTakehiro en-aut-sei=Nakamura en-aut-mei=Takehiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShinomiyaAya en-aut-sei=Shinomiya en-aut-mei=Aya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawakitaKenya en-aut-sei=Kawakita en-aut-mei=Kenya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawanishiMasahiko en-aut-sei=Kawanishi en-aut-mei=Masahiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyakeKeisuke en-aut-sei=Miyake en-aut-mei=Keisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KurodaYasuhiro en-aut-sei=Kuroda en-aut-mei=Yasuhiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=KeepRichard F. en-aut-sei=Keep en-aut-mei=Richard F. kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=TamiyaTakashi en-aut-sei=Tamiya en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Kagawa University Faculty of Medicine kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Medical Technology, Kagawa Prefectural University of Health Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Kagawa University Faculty of Medicine kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Emergency Medical Center, Kagawa University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Kagawa University Faculty of Medicine kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Kagawa University Faculty of Medicine kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Emergency Medical Center, Kagawa University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Neurosurgery, University of Michigan kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Kagawa University Faculty of Medicine kn-affil= en-keyword=biomarker kn-keyword=biomarker en-keyword=histidine-rich glycoprotein kn-keyword=histidine-rich glycoprotein en-keyword=predictor kn-keyword=predictor en-keyword=subarachnoid hemorrhage kn-keyword=subarachnoid hemorrhage en-keyword=vasospasm kn-keyword=vasospasm END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=73 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=21 end-page=27 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=201902 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Clitoral Blood Flow Changes after Surgery with Tension-Free Vaginal Mesh for Pelvic Organ Prolapse en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= We measured basal clitoral blood flow by Doppler sonography to determine whether tension-free vaginal mesh(TVM) affects the clitoral blood flow and sexual function in women with pelvic organ prolapse (POP). We performed a prospective study of 22 patients who underwent TVM for POP. Clitoral blood flow was measured by Doppler ultrasound. The resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), peak systolic velocity (PSV), and end-diastolic velocity (EDV) of the clitoral arteries were measured preoperatively and at 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. Female sexual function was also investigated with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). The mean PI and RI were increased at 1 month and significantly decreased at 6 months postoperatively (p<0.05). In contrast, the mean PSV and EDV decreased at 1 month postoperatively and increased at 6 months postoperatively. These four parameters recovered to baseline levels at 6 months following surgery. Total FSFI scores improved significantly from 10.2}7.9 at baseline to 18.2}8.9 at 6 months postoperatively. Color Doppler ultrasonography is potentially useful in measuring clitoral blood flow in patients treated with TVM for POP. Prospective long-term studies are needed to evaluate the utility of this modality as a diagnostic and prognostic tool for female sexual dysfunction. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=OiwaYuko en-aut-sei=Oiwa en-aut-mei=Yuko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeToyohiko en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Toyohiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SadahiraTakuya en-aut-sei=Sadahira en-aut-mei=Takuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshiiAyano en-aut-sei=Ishii en-aut-mei=Ayano kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=SakoTomoko en-aut-sei=Sako en-aut-mei=Tomoko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=InoueMiyabi en-aut-sei=Inoue en-aut-mei=Miyabi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=WadaKoichiro en-aut-sei=Wada en-aut-mei=Koichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiYasuyuki en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Yasuyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=ArakiMotoo en-aut-sei=Araki en-aut-mei=Motoo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=NasuYasutomo en-aut-sei=Nasu en-aut-mei=Yasutomo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Integrated Support Center for Patients and Self-learning, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Miyabi Urogyne Clinic kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=clitoris kn-keyword=clitoris en-keyword=pelvic organ prolapse kn-keyword=pelvic organ prolapse en-keyword=Doppler ultrasound kn-keyword=Doppler ultrasound END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=83 cd-vols= no-issue=845 article-no= start-page=16-00441 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2017 dt-pub=2017 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Large-scale vortical structure detection using microphone array in a semiconductor single wafer spin cleaner kn-title=ƒ}ƒCƒNƒƒtƒHƒ“ƒAƒŒƒC‚ð—p‚¢‚½–‡—tŽ®”¼“±‘Ìôò‘•’u“à‚ÉŒ`¬‚³‚ê‚é‘å‹K–͉Q\‘¢‚ÌŒŸo en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= Fluctuating pressure (pf ) of a large-scale vortical structure generated in a semiconductor single wafer spin cleaner was detected by using microphone array. Twelve microphones were installed on the exhaust cover under the rotating disk of the cleaner with their interval of 7.5‹ or 15‹. Power spectrum densities (PSD) of pf were compared with those of fluctuating velocity measured by PIV for various rotation angular velocities to identify fluctuations due to convection of the large-scale vortical structure. Good agreement of PSDs indicates that the large-scale structure could be detected by using microphone. Cross-correlation of pf measured at different positions revealed that the large-scale structure convected to the downstream in the rotational direction of the disk. The convection speed was about 12 % of the angular velocity of the rotating disk. Number of the vortex in the large-scale structure was also evaluated from the time-series pf data. Time-space contour map was made for pf based on the data measured at the different angular position, and showed periodical swept strip patterns. Presences of the strip patterns indicate the pressure disturbances were stably convected to the downstream. From this time-space map, two-dimensional Fourier transform efficiently extracted the number of vortices in the large-scale structure. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KOUCHIToshinori en-aut-sei=KOUCHI en-aut-mei=Toshinori kn-aut-name=‰Í“àrŒ› kn-aut-sei=‰Í“à kn-aut-mei=rŒ› aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MIYOSHIYuki en-aut-sei=MIYOSHI en-aut-mei=Yuki kn-aut-name=ŽOD—E‹P kn-aut-sei=ŽOD kn-aut-mei=—E‹P aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NAKANOYusuke en-aut-sei=NAKANO en-aut-mei=Yusuke kn-aut-name=’†–ì—T‰î kn-aut-sei=’†–ì kn-aut-mei=—T‰î aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NAGATAYasunori en-aut-sei=NAGATA en-aut-mei=Yasunori kn-aut-name=‰i“c–õ“T kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=–õ“T aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=YANASEShinichiro en-aut-sei=YANASE en-aut-mei=Shinichiro kn-aut-name=–ö£áÁˆê˜Y kn-aut-sei=–ö£ kn-aut-mei=áÁˆê˜Y aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=2 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=3 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=4 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=5 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È en-keyword=Rotating disk kn-keyword=Rotating disk en-keyword=Flow stability kn-keyword=Flow stability en-keyword=Coherent structure kn-keyword=Coherent structure en-keyword=Differential pressure measurement kn-keyword=Differential pressure measurement END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=81 cd-vols= no-issue=829 article-no= start-page=15-00273 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2015 dt-pub=2015 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Periodical structure of vortices in a semiconductor single wafer spin cleaner kn-title=–‡—tŽ®”¼“±‘Ìôò‘•’u“à‚ÉŒ`¬‚³‚ê‚é‰Q‚ÌŽüŠú\‘¢ en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= We experimentally and numerically investigated large-scale structures formed by vortices in a single wafer spin cleaner. The Q-criterion identified the vortices developed in the cleaner as the flow regions with positive second invariant of the velocity gradient tensor obtained by both the PIV and LES. The time-series two-components PIV data shows that small-vortices were clustered near and under the edge of the rotating disk and were periodically emanated from there to the housing wall of the cleaner. The emanation frequency was increased with increasing in the angular velocity of the rotating disk. Three-dimensional LES reveal that six longitudinal vortices were spirally developed from under the edge of the rotating disk to the housing wall. This structure stably rotated slower than the disk speed. Fourier analysis of the LES data agreed with that of the PIV data. This supports that the passages of the stable spiral vortices on the PIV measurement region resulted in the periodical emanation of the clustered small-vortices observed in the PIV. Such a very large-scale spiral structure will induce reattachment of contaminants on the wafer surface, and should be destructed for development of much higher efficient cleaner. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KOUCHIToshinori en-aut-sei=KOUCHI en-aut-mei=Toshinori kn-aut-name=‰Í“àrŒ› kn-aut-sei=‰Í“à kn-aut-mei=rŒ› aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=FUKUDANaoya en-aut-sei=FUKUDA en-aut-mei=Naoya kn-aut-name=•Ÿ“cC–ç kn-aut-sei=•Ÿ“c kn-aut-mei=C–ç aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NAKANOYusuke en-aut-sei=NAKANO en-aut-mei=Yusuke kn-aut-name=’†–ì—T‰î kn-aut-sei=’†–ì kn-aut-mei=—T‰î aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SHIMIZUYoshiya en-aut-sei=SHIMIZU en-aut-mei=Yoshiya kn-aut-name=´…‹`–ç kn-aut-sei=´… kn-aut-mei=‹`–ç aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NAGATAYasunori en-aut-sei=NAGATA en-aut-mei=Yasunori kn-aut-name=‰i“c–õ“T kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=–õ“T aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YANASEShinichiro en-aut-sei=YANASE en-aut-mei=Shinichiro kn-aut-name=–ö£áÁˆê˜Y kn-aut-sei=–ö£ kn-aut-mei=áÁˆê˜Y aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=2 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=3 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=4 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=5 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=6 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È en-keyword=Rotating disk kn-keyword=Rotating disk en-keyword=Flow stability kn-keyword=Flow stability en-keyword=Large-scale structure kn-keyword=Large-scale structure en-keyword=PIV kn-keyword=PIV en-keyword=LES kn-keyword=LES END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=83 cd-vols= no-issue=853 article-no= start-page=17-00181 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2017 dt-pub=2017 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=OpenFOAM analysis of air-entraining and submerged vortices in pump sump kn-title=OpenFOAM‚ð—p‚¢‚½ƒ|ƒ“ƒv…‘…“à‚É”­¶‚·‚é‹ó‹C‹zž‰Q‚Æ…’†‰Q‚̉ðÍ en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YAMASAKIRyo en-aut-sei=YAMASAKI en-aut-mei=Ryo kn-aut-name=ŽRè—È kn-aut-sei=ŽRè kn-aut-mei=—È aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KOUCHIToshinori en-aut-sei=KOUCHI en-aut-mei=Toshinori kn-aut-name=‰Í“àrŒ› kn-aut-sei=‰Í“à kn-aut-mei=rŒ› aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NAGATAYasunori en-aut-sei=NAGATA en-aut-mei=Yasunori kn-aut-name=‰i“c–õ“T kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=–õ“T aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YANASEShinichiro en-aut-sei=YANASE en-aut-mei=Shinichiro kn-aut-name=–ö£áÁˆê˜Y kn-aut-sei=–ö£ kn-aut-mei=áÁˆê˜Y aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=2 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=3 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È affil-num=4 en-affil=Mechanical and System Engineering of Okayama University kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ Ž©‘R‰ÈŠwŒ¤‹†‰È en-keyword=CFD kn-keyword=CFD en-keyword=VOF kn-keyword=VOF en-keyword=Turbulance model kn-keyword=Turbulance model en-keyword=Grid convergence kn-keyword=Grid convergence en-keyword=Vortex detection scheme kn-keyword=Vortex detection scheme END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=71 cd-vols= no-issue=5 article-no= start-page=427 end-page=432 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2017 dt-pub=201710 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Direct Damage to a Vertebral Artery Better Predicts a Vertebral Artery Injury than Elongation in Cervical Spine Dislocation en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= Cervical spine dislocation and fracture of a transverse process are isolated risk factors for vertebral artery injuries (VAIs), which can cause a life-threatening ischemic stroke. Since in vivo experiments are not possible, it has not been unclear whether damage to or extension of vertebral arteries is more predictive of a VAI. To identify the imaging characteristics associated with VAI, we analyzed 36 vertebral arteries from 22 cervical spine dislocation patients who underwent computed tomography angiography (Aug. 2008-Dec. 2014). We evaluated (1) the posttraumatic elongation of the vertebral artery and (2) the presence of fracture involving the transverse foramen. VAI was found in 20 (56%) of the 36 vertebral arteries. The rate of residual shift (vertebral artery elongation) was not markedly different between the VAI and no-VAI groups. However, the rate of >1 mm displacement into the foramen and that of fracture with gross displacement (?2 mm) differed significantly between the groups. We found that greater displacement of fractured transverse processes with cervical spine dislocation was a risk factor for VAI. These results suggest that direct damage to the vertebral arteries by transverse process fragments is more likely to predict a VAI compared to elongation, even in cervical spine dislocation. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataKosei en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Kosei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=ChikudaHirotaka en-aut-sei=Chikuda en-aut-mei=Hirotaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=InokuchiKoichi en-aut-sei=Inokuchi en-aut-mei=Koichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshiiKeisuke en-aut-sei=Ishii en-aut-mei=Keisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiAtsuki en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Atsuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanaiHiroyuki en-aut-sei=Kanai en-aut-mei=Hiroyuki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyoshiKota en-aut-sei=Miyoshi en-aut-mei=Kota kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Spinal Surgery, The University of Tokyo Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Spinal Surgery, The University of Tokyo Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Advanced Critical Care Center, Saitama Medical Center, Saitama Medical University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tokyo Metropolitan Bokutoh Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tokyo Metropolitan Bokutoh Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Tokyo Metropolitan Bokutoh Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yokohama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= en-keyword=vertebral artery injury kn-keyword=vertebral artery injury en-keyword=cervical spine dislocation kn-keyword=cervical spine dislocation en-keyword=CT angiography kn-keyword=CT angiography en-keyword=transverse process kn-keyword=transverse process en-keyword=vertebral artery elongation kn-keyword=vertebral artery elongation END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=129 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=17 end-page=22 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2017 dt-pub=20170403 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Sexual function before and after a tension-free vaginal mesh procedure for pelvic organ prolapse kn-title=œ”Õ‘ŸŠí’E‚ɑ΂·‚éTVM Žèp‘OŒã‚Ì«‹@”\‚ÉŠÖ‚·‚錟“¢ en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= We prospectively assessed sexual function before and after a tension-free vaginal mesh ( TVM) procedure for pelvic organ prolapse ( POP) . From April 2007 to March 2009, a total of 42 patients, who reported having an active sex life preoperatively underwent TVM for POP. Female sexual function was evaluated with the self-reporting, multiple-domain Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) . We administered the FSFI to all of the patients before and at 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. The mean age at surgery was 61.3}7.1 years. Before the TVM surgery, the FSFI score was very low ( 12.5}9.0) . The total FSFI score was improved significantly at 12 months after surgery ( 17.4}7.7) . The Arousal, Lubrication and Orgasm domains were significantly improved at 12 months after surgery. POP appears to have a significant negative impact on female sexual function. Our findings indicate that TVM for POP improved sexual function in a group of Japanese women with POP. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MatsumotoYuko en-aut-sei=Matsumoto en-aut-mei=Yuko kn-aut-name=¼–{—TŽq kn-aut-sei=¼–{ kn-aut-mei=—TŽq aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicne, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ˆãŽ•–òŠw‘‡Œ¤‹†‰È@”å”AŠí•a‘ÔŠw en-keyword=œ”Õ‘ŸŠí’E (pelvic organ prolapse) kn-keyword=œ”Õ‘ŸŠí’E (pelvic organ prolapse) en-keyword=TVM (tension-free vaginal mesh) kn-keyword=TVM (tension-free vaginal mesh) en-keyword=—«”å”AŠí‰È (female urology) kn-keyword=—«”å”AŠí‰È (female urology) en-keyword=«‹@”\ (sexual function) kn-keyword=«‹@”\ (sexual function) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=70 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=261 end-page=268 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2016 dt-pub=201608 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=A Diagnostic Algorithm for Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis Initially Diagnosed as Lumbar Disc Hernia or Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Personal Experience and Review of the Literature en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA, Churg-Strauss syndrome) is a rare systemic vasculitis and is difficult to diagnose. EGPA has a number of symptoms including peripheral dysesthesia caused by mononeuropathy multiplex, which is similar to radiculopathy due to lumbar disc hernia or lumbar spinal stenosis. Therefore, EGPA patients with mononeuropathy multiplex often visit orthopedic clinics, but orthopedic doctors and spine neurosurgeons have limited experience in diagnosing EGPA because of its rarity. We report a consecutive series of patients who were initially diagnosed as having lumbar disc hernia or lumbar spinal stenosis by at least 2 medical institutions from March 2006 to April 2013 but whose final diagnosis was EGPA. All patients had past histories of asthma or eosinophilic pneumonia, and four out of five had peripheral edema. Laboratory data showed abnormally increased eosinophil counts, and nerve conduction studies of all patients revealed axonal damage patterns. All patients recovered from paralysis to a functional level after high-dose steroid treatment. We shortened the duration of diagnosis from 49 days to one day by adopting a diagnostic algorithm after experiencing the first case. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataKosei en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Kosei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamamotoShinichi en-aut-sei=Yamamoto en-aut-mei=Shinichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyoshiKota en-aut-sei=Miyoshi en-aut-mei=Kota kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SatoMasaki en-aut-sei=Sato en-aut-mei=Masaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ArinoYusuke en-aut-sei=Arino en-aut-mei=Yusuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=MikamiYoji en-aut-sei=Mikami en-aut-mei=Yoji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yokohama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yokohama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yokohama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yokohama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yokohama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yokohama Rosai Hospital kn-affil= en-keyword=eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis kn-keyword=eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis en-keyword=mononeuropathy multiplex kn-keyword=mononeuropathy multiplex en-keyword=lumbar disc hernia kn-keyword=lumbar disc hernia en-keyword=lumbar spinal stenosis kn-keyword=lumbar spinal stenosis en-keyword=nerve conduction study kn-keyword=nerve conduction study END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=128 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=95 end-page=97 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2016 dt-pub=20160801 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=The 2015 Incentive Award of the Okayama Medical Association in Neuroscience (2015 Niimi Prize) kn-title=•½¬27”N“x‰ªŽRˆãŠw‰ïÜ ”]_ŒoŒ¤‹†§—ãÜiVŒ©Üj en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ToyoshimaAtsuhiko en-aut-sei=Toyoshima en-aut-mei=Atsuhiko kn-aut-name=–L“ˆ“Ö•F kn-aut-sei=–L“ˆ kn-aut-mei=“Ö•F aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Neurological Surgery, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw•a‰@@”]_ŒoŠO‰È END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=58 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=141 end-page=158 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2016 dt-pub=201601 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Alternative approach for Siegel's lemma en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this article, we present an alternative approach to show a generalization of Siegel's lemma which is an essential tool in Diophantine problems.

recover copper from low-grade copper sulfide. This bacterium uses ferrous iron and reduced inorganic sulfur compounds (RISCs) as energy sources. Transcriptions of genes thought to be involved in the oxidation of RISCs have been known to be highly activated in A. ferrooxidans cells grown on RISCs, while transcriptions of genes involved in the iron oxidation were repressed in the cells grown on RISCs. A gene encoding a putative chromosome segregation and condensation protein (ScpB) with a helix-turn-helix motif was found in the upstream region of sulfide : quinone oxidoreductase gene, whose expression was up-regulated in cells grown in sulfur and tetrathionate. A semi-quantitative PCR analysis using cDNA prepared from iron-, sulfur-, or tetrathionate-grown cells revealed that the transcription of scpB was up-regulated in cells grown on sulfur or tetrathionate as the energy source. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays were employed to examine whether the ScpB functions as a transcription factor. The result indicated that the recombinant His-tagged ScpB protein was able to nonspecifically bind in vitro to DNA. This is the first report on a direct association of ScpB with DNA. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=KamimuraKazuo en-aut-sei=Kamimura en-aut-mei=Kazuo kn-aut-name=㑺ˆê—Y kn-aut-sei=㑺

She had no history of laparotomy. An abdominal CT scan at the time of admission indicated closed-loop intestinal obstruction of the small intestine within the pelvis and deviation of the uterus to the right. We diagnosed this as a strangulated internal hernia and decided to conduct an emergency operation. The ileum had herniated through a defect in the broad ligament of the uterus. The strangulated intestinal loop, which was about 25cm long, was released, and the defect of the broad ligament was closed. The postoperative course was uneventful. The differential diagnosis of intestinal obstruction should include internal hernia, especially in the absence of a previous laparotomy. An abdominal CT scan is quite useful for the preoperative and prompt diagnosis of internal hernia through a defect in the broad ligament of the uterus. en-copyright= kn-copyright=

We also show that a non-scanning surface plasmon microscope combined with the scanning localized surface plasmon microscope contributes to observing an entire cell adhesion site and identify regions of interest. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WatanabeKoyo en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Koyo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsuuraKoji en-aut-sei=Matsuura en-aut-mei=Koji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawataFukukazu en-aut-sei=Kawata en-aut-mei=Fukukazu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataKotaro en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Kotaro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NingJun en-aut-sei=Ning en-aut-mei=Jun kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=KanoHiroshi en-aut-sei=Kano en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Research Core for Interdisciplinary Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Research Core for Interdisciplinary Sciences, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Information and Electronic Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Muroran Institute of Technology affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Information and Electronic Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Muroran Institute of Technology affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Engineering for Composite Functions, Graduate School of Engineering, Muroran Institute of Technology affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Division of Engineering for Composite Functions, Graduate School of Engineering, Muroran Institute of Technology END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=124 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=129 end-page=136 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2012 dt-pub=20120801 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Antibacterial efficacy of photocatalytic reaction on titanium dioxide-coated ceramic air filters kn-title=Ž_‰»ƒ`ƒ^ƒ“’SŽƒZƒ‰ƒ~ƒbƒNƒtƒBƒ‹ƒ^[‚ÌŒõG”}”½‰ž‚É‚æ‚éR‹ÛŒø‰Ê‚ÌŒŸ“¢ en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysis generates reactive oxygen species such as EOH and EO2-, which can effectively eliminate organic compounds. In the present study, we evaluated the antibacterial and antifungal effects of TiO2-coated ceramic air filters in both laboratory and hospital settings. Photocatalysis with the TiO2-coated ceramic filter effectively inactivated all 4 pathogenic organisms tested. Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. After the photocatalysis reaction for 4 h under UV-A (365nm, 250ƒÊW/?) irradiation, the percentage reductions of the number of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, S. aureus, C. albicans cells were 99.9%, 98.9%, 97.7% and 99.9%, respectively, indicating that Gram-negative bacteria are more susceptible to such photocatalysis than Gram-positive bacteria. Scanning electron microscopic analysis showed damage to the cytoplasmic membrane and cell wall by photocatalysis : consistent with above observations, the morphological change of Gram-negative E. coli was greater than that of Gram-positive S. aureus. @Further, an air cleaner equipped with a TiO2-coated ceramic filter significantly decreased the number of bacteria floating in hospitals. @These results indicate that air cleaners with TiO2-coated ceramic filters could be useful in reducing the incidence of nosocomial infections. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NakaoMiyuki en-aut-sei=Nakao en-aut-mei=Miyuki kn-aut-name=’†”ö”üK kn-aut-sei=’†”ö kn-aut-mei=”üK aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw‘åŠw‰@ˆãŽ•–òŠw‘‡Œ¤‹†‰È@•aŒ´×‹ÛŠw en-keyword=ŒõG”}iphotocatalysisj kn-keyword=ŒõG”}iphotocatalysisj en-keyword=Ž_‰»ƒ`ƒ^ƒ“’SŽƒZƒ‰ƒ~ƒbƒNƒtƒBƒ‹ƒ^[iTiO2-coated ceramic air filtersj kn-keyword=Ž_‰»ƒ`ƒ^ƒ“’SŽƒZƒ‰ƒ~ƒbƒNƒtƒBƒ‹ƒ^[iTiO2-coated ceramic air filtersj en-keyword=R‹ÛŒø‰Êiantimicrobial effectj kn-keyword=R‹ÛŒø‰Êiantimicrobial effectj en-keyword=‰@“àŠ´õinosocomial infectionj kn-keyword=‰@“àŠ´õinosocomial infectionj en-keyword=‹ó‹C´ò‹@iair cleanerj kn-keyword=‹ó‹C´ò‹@iair cleanerj END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=23 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=19 end-page=36 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1991 dt-pub=19911216 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Invalidity of the Simultaneous Confidence Interval Corresponding to the Step-down Procedure under the Multiple Comparison kn-title=‘½d”äŠr‚É‚¨‚¯‚鉺~Žè‡‚ɑΉž‚·‚é“¯ŽžM—Š‹æŠÔ‚Ì”ñ‘Ó–«‚ɂ‚¢‚Ä‚ÌlŽ@ en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataYasushi en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Yasushi kn-aut-name=‰i“c–õ kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=–õ aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsudaShin-ichi en-aut-sei=Matsuda en-aut-mei=Shin-ichi kn-aut-name=¼“cáÁˆê kn-aut-sei=¼“c kn-aut-mei=áÁˆê aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=“ìŽR‘åŠwŒo‰cŠw•”î•ñŠÇ—Šw‰È END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=25 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=301 end-page=314 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1994 dt-pub=19940310 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Approximation Formulas for the Lower Confidence Limits of Process Capability Indices en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataYasushi en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Yasushi kn-aut-name=‰i“c–õ kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=–õ aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagahataHidekazu en-aut-sei=Nagahata en-aut-mei=Hidekazu kn-aut-name=’·”¨G˜a kn-aut-sei=’·”¨ kn-aut-mei=G˜a aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Faculty of Economics, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Faculty of Education, Okayama University END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=26 cd-vols= no-issue=3-4 article-no= start-page=325 end-page=339 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1995 dt-pub=19950310 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=POINT ESTIMATION OF THE PROCESS CAPABILITY INDEX C(pk) en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this paper point estimation of the process capability index C(pk) is considered.

Firstly, a brief summary ofthe Stein type point estimation theory and the Stein type interval estimation theory is given. Then, the relationship between the improvement on the point estimation and the improvement on the interval estimation is discussed. It is shown that substituting the Stein type estimator for the usual estimator in the confidence interval leads to the improvement on the interval estimation. Secondly, the Neyman accuracy of the Stein type confidence interval is considered. The Neyman accuracy is a measure related to the unbiasedness of a confidence interval. It is shown that the Stein type confidence interval is not unbiased. Thirdly, the Wolfowitz accuracy of the Stein type confidence interval is considered. The Wolfowitz accuracy is related to the closeness of the endpoints to. the true parameter. The sufficient condition for the Stein type confidence interval to improve on the usual confidence interval is derived. Finally, the Stein type confidence interval is discussed under the multivariate Student-t distribution. It is shown that so far as the coverage probability and the multivariate Student-t distributions are concerned, the Stein type confidence interval is not robust against nonnormality, but that the superiority over the usual confidence interval still holds against nonnormality. Furthermore, for the case when it is known that error terms have a multivariate Student-t distribution, a Stein type confidence interval which improves on the usual confidence interval is presented. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataYasushi en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Yasushi kn-aut-name=‰i“c–õ kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=–õ aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=30 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=271 end-page=280 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1999 dt-pub=19990310 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Optimality of the Stein Type Confidence Interval of Variance kn-title=Œë·•ªŽU‚̃Xƒ^ƒCƒ“Œ^‰ü—ÇM—Š‹æŠÔ‚ÌÅ“K«‚ɂ‚¢‚Ä en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this paper the optimality of the Stein type confidence interval of the disturbance variance among the class of pre-test confidence interval after the pre-test for a linear hypothesis on coefficients is considered.

The target sentences included either a noun phrase (NP-extracted) or an adverbial phrase (AP-extracted), each extracted from a subordinate clause and placed in front of the sentences. Anchor sentences had a surface structure similar to the AP-extracted targets such that a preposed adverbial phrase could be associated both with the subordinate and the matrix verb. Twenty-eight speakers classified as field-dependent judged the two types oftarget sentences given together with anchors or no anchors. The assimilation as well as the contrast effect was found, albeit to a slight degree. The level of judged grammaticality of the anchors rather than surface structure similarity appeared to be more influential in producing the anchoring effects in the judgments of the grammaticality of sentences. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataHiroshi en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Faculty of Economics, Okayama University END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=33 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=25 end-page=34 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2001 dt-pub=20010910 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Japanese speakersf judgments of grammaticality of Japanese and English bitransitive sentences with a differing number of arguments : A comparison between speakers exposed to Chomskyfs generative grammar and those not en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=This study investigates the judgments of grammaticality of Japanese and English bitransitive sentences with a differing number of arguments. Japanese speakers exposed to Chomskyfs generative grammar (n = 30) and those not exposed (n = 28) were compared. This exposure was expected to facilitate a sentence? oriented judgment strategy that would direct speakers towards decreasing the grammaticality of the Japanese sentences lacking one or more arguments. Findings showed no effect in the judgments of Japanese sentences. However, in the judgments of the English sentences speakers exposed to generative grammar approximated to those made by native speakers of English. It was suggested that the exposure to generative grammar facilitated the sentence?oriented strategy in the judgments of English sentences, but it was not so effective as to weaken a discourse?oriented strategy used by Japanese speakers when they judged Japanese sentences. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataHiroshi en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=41 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=37 end-page=43 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1999 dt-pub=199901 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Nagata Criterion for Serre's (Rn) and (Sn)-Conditions en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TakahashiRyo en-aut-sei=Takahashi en-aut-mei=Ryo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama University END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=30 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=209 end-page=214 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1976 dt-pub=197606 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=An extremely basic monoclonal IgG in an aged apoplectic patient with prolonged bacterial infection en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=

A modified method of passive immune hemolysis (PIH) was applied to the quantitative assay of heat-labile enterotoxin (LT) produced by enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli. The method enabled the measurement of 0.2 to 1.2 ng LT. The production of LT by enterotoxigenic E. coli under various conditions was analyzed using the modified method. LT production was intense during the logarithmic growth phase and decreased during the stationary growth phase. Lincomycin (50 to 100 micrograms/ml) affected cell growth slightly, but enhanced production of LT until the late-stationary growth phase. About 90% of the LT produced was retained in the cell, and the rest was excreted into the culture medium. The initial pH of the culture medium affected LT production. Alkaline pH enhanced LT production, though growth was depressed. Aeration enhanced both growth and LT production.

Innately Split Model (ISM) is a framework of GAs, which is designed to avoid this phenomenon called UV-Phenomenon. However, ISM doesn't care about previously-searched areas by the past populations. Thus, it is possible that populations of ISM waste evaluation cost for redundant searches reaching previously-found optima. In this paper, we introduce Extended ISM (EISM) that uses search information of past populations as trap to suppress overlapping searches. To show performance of EISM, we apply it to some test functions, and analyze the behavior. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KaratsuNaoya kn-aut-sei=Karatsu kn-aut-mei=Naoya aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=NagataYuichi kn-aut-sei=Nagata kn-aut-mei=Yuichi aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=OnoIsao kn-aut-sei=Ono kn-aut-mei=Isao aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name= en-aut-sei= en-aut-mei= kn-aut-name=KobayashiShigenobu kn-aut-sei=Kobayashi kn-aut-mei=Shigenobu aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Tokyo Institute of Technology affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Tokyo Institute of Technology affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Tokyo Institute of Technology affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Tokyo Institute of Technology END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=11 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=31 end-page=55 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2008 dt-pub=20080331 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=‘æ4Í@—ðŽjŠwŒ¤‹†‚̈ꕪ͗vˆö‚Æ‚µ‚Äu‹CŒóv‚ðŽæ‚èž‚Þ‚±‚Ƃ͉”\‚©H \ƒˆ[ƒƒbƒp‹ß¢ƒ¬•XŠúLittle Ice Age„‚Ìê‡\ en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataRiyouichi en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Riyouichi kn-aut-name=‰i“c—Ȉê kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=—Ȉê aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠw END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=80 cd-vols= no-issue=1-2 article-no= start-page=135 end-page=141 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1968 dt-pub=19680228 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Report of a Case of Nasopharyngeal Tumor kn-title=•@ˆôoŒ´”­ˆ««Žîᇂ̈ê—á en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=This paper is to report a case of naeopharyngeal tumor.

Studies on 41 cases of nasopharyngeal tumor experienced in the department of Otorhinopharyngol-aryngology of this University in recent 10 years (1957-1966) showed that a large number of the patient as much as 24% of the cases, first visited the clinic of internal medicine of examination of enlarged lymphnodes in the neck or headache. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MiyazakiTakeshi en-aut-sei=Miyazaki en-aut-mei=Takeshi kn-aut-name=‹{茒Žj kn-aut-sei=‹{è kn-aut-mei=Œ’Žj aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataKoichi en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Koichi kn-aut-name=‰i“ckˆê kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=kˆê aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkutomiZenkichi en-aut-sei=Okutomi en-aut-mei=Zenkichi kn-aut-name=‰œ•x‘P‹g kn-aut-sei=‰œ•x kn-aut-mei=‘P‹g aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YumotoYasuhiro en-aut-sei=Yumoto en-aut-mei=Yasuhiro kn-aut-name=“’–{‘×O kn-aut-sei=“’–{ kn-aut-mei=‘×O aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=OtsukiHiroshi en-aut-sei=Otsuki en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name=‘åžK—SŽ¡ kn-aut-sei=‘åžK kn-aut-mei=—SŽ¡ aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”‘æˆê“à‰È‹³Žº affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”‘æˆê“à‰È‹³Žº affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”‘æˆê“à‰È‹³Žº affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”‘æˆê“à‰È‹³Žº affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”‘æˆê“à‰È‹³Žº END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=90 cd-vols= no-issue=9-10 article-no= start-page=1309 end-page=1317 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1978 dt-pub=19781030 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Evaluation of the standard total coli-form MPN test for the biological examination of water pollution kn-title=‘å’°‹ÛŒQ‘ª’è–@‚Ì…Ž¿‰˜õŽw•W«‚ÌŒŸ“¢ en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract=The standard total coli-form MPN test is widely used as a biological indicator of water pollution. But our applications of the test to various field works resulted in much higher cell numbers than be expected. The reason can be thought to be that bacteria belonging to coliform group do not always derived from human and animal feces. In order to examine this possibility, the authors carried out the isolation and identification of bacteria which were detected by this method from various kinds of specimens. The result indicated that the bacteria designated as coli-form group included not only human- and animal-derived bacteria but also bacterial species which apparently derived from plants, soil or water, e.g. Erwinia, Aeromonas, Serratia, Citrobacter and so forth. Therefore, a method is demanded by which one can estimate quantitatively only bacteria associated with human and animal feces.

enterotoxigenic E. coli affected the structure of epitherial cell of rabbit intestine. The toxin bound to the microbilli of the cell and caused "puffing" of the microvillous membrane when it was examined under phasecontrast microscopy. The same change occured by the isolated brush border membrane if it was reacted with the enterotoxin in the presence of ATP. Electronmicroscopic observation disclosed that the bundle fibrous structure of the brush border was deformed to random structure and that some parts of the fibrous bundle detached from microvillous membrane. Since the enterotoxin bound to microvilli, it was suggested that cytoskelton including actin and myosin system of the cell could be affected through cAMP of which synthesis was activated at the microvilli membrane by the enterotoxin. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NagataAkihide en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Akihide kn-aut-name=‰i“c“N‰p kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=“N‰p aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”׋ۊw‹³Žº en-keyword=“Å‘fŒ´«‘å’°‹Û kn-keyword=“Å‘fŒ´«‘å’°‹Û en-keyword=ƒGƒ“ƒeƒƒgƒLƒVƒ“ kn-keyword=ƒGƒ“ƒeƒƒgƒLƒVƒ“ en-keyword=¬’°ãO–Ñã”ç×–E kn-keyword=¬’°ãO–Ñã”ç×–E en-keyword=üŽq‰ kn-keyword=üŽq‰ en-keyword=ƒTƒCƒgƒXƒPƒ‹ƒgƒ“ kn-keyword=ƒTƒCƒgƒXƒPƒ‹ƒgƒ“ END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=95 cd-vols= no-issue=1-2 article-no= start-page=35 end-page=40 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1983 dt-pub=19830228 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Identification of sphingoglycolipids in a patient regarded as having Fabry's disease. kn-title=ƒtƒ@ƒuƒŠ[•a‚ð‹^‚í‚ê‚éˆêÇ—á‚̶‰»Šw“I“¯’è‚ɂ‚¢‚Ä en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Fabry's disease is one of the inherited diseases, in which sphingoglycolipids accumulate systemically in tissue as the result of defective ƒ¿-galactosyl hydrolase.

Analyses showed that perceived values of Support and Independence increased while those of Benevolence decreased with the admission years. They also showed a reduced level of aspiration for an ideal nurse, particularly in 1996. Findings were discussed as they were related with a socialization process that nursing students would undertake in prospective nurse training.

A level of serum IgE and frequency of positive RAST score for allergens were in general low. However, the frequency of patients with family history of allergic diseases was considerably high, and in these patients with family history having allergic diseases the presence of IgE-mediated allergic reaction was frequently observed. 2 . Bronchial hyperresponsiveness tended to decrease with aging. 3 . Ventilatory function and gas exchange (DLco) showed a decrease with aging, and the decrease in ventilatory function and DLco in older patients over age 70 was significantly lower than the decrease in younger patients with asthma under age 49. 4 . The volume of the lungs, evaluated by % residual volume (% RV) , tended to increase with aging. The low attenuation area (LAA) of the lungs < -950 HU on HRCT, which represents hyperinflation in asthma, was also increased with aging. A significant correlation was found between % RV and % LAA of the lungs <-950HU on HRCT in patients over age 70. kn-abstract=‚—îŽÒšb‘§‚Ì•a‘Ô“I“Á’¥‚ð—Õ°“I‚ÉŠÏŽ@‚µ‚½B‚»‚ÌŒ‹‰Ê‚͈ȉº‚Ì‚²‚Æ‚­‚Å‚ ‚Á‚½B 1DŒŒ´IgE’l‚âRŒ´‚ɑ΂·‚éIgER‘̗̂z«—¦‚͈ê”Ê“I‚É’á‚¢‚ªC‚µ‚©‚µƒAƒŒƒ‹ƒM[޾г‚̉Ƒ°—ð‚ð—L‚·‚éÇ—á‚Ì•p“x‚Í‚‚­CƒAƒgƒs[«‚Ì‘fˆö‚ð—L‚·‚éÇ—á‚Ì•p“x‚ª‚©‚Ȃ肂¢‚±‚ÆC‚»‚µ‚ÄC‚±‚̂悤‚ÈÇ—á‚Å‚ÍIgEŒn”½‰ž‚ÌŠÖ—^‚ªŽ¦´‚³‚ꂽB@ 2D‹C“¹‰ß•q«‚͉Á—î‚Æ‚Æ‚à‚ɒቺ‚·‚éŒXŒü‚ªŒ©‚ç‚ꂽB@ 3DŠ·‹C‹@”\CƒKƒXŒðŠ·”\‚͉Á—î‚Æ‚Æ‚à‚ɒቺ‚µC“Á‚É70ˈÈã ‚ÌǗႳ͎á”NŽÒšb‘§‚Æ”ä‚×—LˆÓ‚̒ቺ‚ªŒ©‚ç‚ꂽB@ 4D”x—eÏ‚ÍC‰Á—î‚Æ‚Æ‚à‚É‘‘債C70ˈÈã‚ÌǗႳ͗LˆÓ‚Ì‘‘åŒXŒü‚ªŒ©‚ç‚ꂽB‚Ü‚½C‚±‚Ì”x—eς̑‘å‚ÍCHRCTã‚Ì|950HUˆÈ‰º‚Ì”x% UIA‚Æ—LˆÓ‚Ì‘ŠŠÖ‚ªŒ©‚ç‚êC”x‚̉ߖc’£‚Ìó‘Ô‚ª‘¶Ý‚·‚邱‚Æ‚ªŽ¦´‚³‚ꂽB en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MitsunobuFumihiro en-aut-sei=Mitsunobu en-aut-mei=Fumihiro kn-aut-name=Œõ’ì•¶—T kn-aut-sei=Œõ’ì kn-aut-mei=•¶—T aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HosakiYasuhiro en-aut-sei=Hosaki en-aut-mei=Yasuhiro kn-aut-name=•Ûè‘×O kn-aut-sei=•Ûè kn-aut-mei=‘×O aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=AshidaKozo en-aut-sei=Ashida en-aut-mei=Kozo kn-aut-name=ˆ°“ckŽO kn-aut-sei=ˆ°“c kn-aut-mei=kŽO aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=IwagakiNaofumi en-aut-sei=Iwagaki en-aut-mei=Naofumi kn-aut-name=ŠâŠ_®Žj kn-aut-sei=ŠâŠ_ kn-aut-mei=®Žj aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagataTakuya en-aut-sei=Nagata en-aut-mei=Takuya kn-aut-name=‰i“c‘ñ–ç kn-aut-sei=‰i“c kn-aut-mei=‘ñ–ç aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiiMakoto en-aut-sei=Fujii en-aut-mei=Makoto kn-aut-name=“¡ˆä½ kn-aut-sei=“¡ˆä kn-aut-mei=½ aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakataShingo en-aut-sei=Takata en-aut-mei=Shingo kn-aut-name=‚“c^Œá kn-aut-sei=‚“c kn-aut-mei=^Œá aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=YokoiTadashi en-aut-sei=Yokoi en-aut-mei=Tadashi kn-aut-name=‰¡ˆä³ kn-aut-sei=‰¡ˆä kn-aut-mei=³ aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=HamadaMasanori en-aut-sei=Hamada en-aut-mei=Masanori kn-aut-name=•l“c‘S‹I kn-aut-sei=•l“c kn-aut-mei=‘S‹I aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanizakiYoshiro en-aut-sei=Tanizaki en-aut-mei=Yoshiro kn-aut-name=’J蟘N kn-aut-sei=’Jè kn-aut-mei=Ÿ˜N aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=?‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”EŽ•Šw•”•‘®•a‰@ŽO’©ˆã—ÃZƒ“ƒ^[ “à‰È affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”EŽ•Šw•”•‘®•a‰@ŽO’©ˆã—ÃZƒ“ƒ^[ “à‰È affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”EŠw•”•‘®•a‰@ŽO’©ˆã—ÃZƒ“ƒ^[ “à‰È affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”EŽ•Šw•”•‘®•a‰@ŽO’©ˆã—ÃZƒ“ƒ^[ “à‰È affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”EŠw•”•‘®•a‰@ŽO’©ˆã—ÃZƒ“ƒ^[ “à‰È affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”EŽ•Šw•”•‘®•a‰@ŽO’©ˆã—ÃZƒ“ƒ^[ “à‰È affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”EŽ•Šw•”•‘®•a‰@ŽO’©ˆã—ÃZƒ“ƒ^[ ƒŠƒnƒrƒŠƒe[ƒVƒ‡ƒ“‰È affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”EŽ•Šw•”•‘®•a‰@ŽO’©ˆã—ÃZƒ“ƒ^[ ƒŠƒnƒrƒŠƒe[ƒVƒ‡ƒ“‰È affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”EŽ•Šw•”•‘®•a‰@ŽO’©ˆã—ÃZƒ“ƒ^[ “à‰È affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=‰ªŽR‘åŠwˆãŠw•”EŽ•Šw•”•‘®•a‰@ŽO’©ˆã—ÃZƒ“ƒ^[ “à‰È en-keyword=lgEŒn”½‰ž (IgE-mediated allergy) kn-keyword=lgEŒn”½‰ž (IgE-mediated allergy) en-keyword=‹C“¹‰ß•q« (bronchial hyperresponsiveness) kn-keyword=‹C“¹‰ß•q« (bronchial hyperresponsiveness) en-keyword=Š·‹C‹@”\ (ventilatory function) kn-keyword=Š·‹C‹@”\ (ventilatory function) en-keyword=ƒKƒXŒðŠ·”\ (gas exchange) kn-keyword=ƒKƒXŒðŠ·”\ (gas exchange) en-keyword=‹CŽî‰»ŒXŒü (emphysematous changes) kn-keyword=‹CŽî‰»ŒXŒü (emphysematous changes) END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=74 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=48 end-page=50 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2004 dt-pub=20040201 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=QOL in LBP patients kn-title=‰·ò—Ö@‚ª˜’ÉÇŠ³ŽÒ‚ÌQOL‚É‹y‚Ú‚·Œø‰Ê en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract=We have recently regarded the QOL as an important index in the treatment of disease.
