Here, we applied palaeoproteomics to investigate an ancient human skeletal individual with severe oral pathology, focusing our research on bacterial pathogenic factors and host defense response. This female skeleton, from the Okhotsk period (i.e., fifth to thirteenth century) of Northern Japan, poses relevant amounts of abnormal dental calculus deposition and exhibits oral dysfunction due to severe periodontal disease. A shotgun mass-spectrometry analysis identified 81 human proteins and 15 bacterial proteins from the calculus of the subject. We identified two pathogenic or bioinvasive proteins originating from two of the three "red complex" bacteria, the core species associated with severe periodontal disease in modern humans, as well as two additional bioinvasive proteins of periodontal-associated bacteria. Moreover, we discovered defense response system-associated human proteins, although their proportion was mostly similar to those reported in ancient and modern human individuals with lower calculus deposition. These results suggest that the bacterial etiology was similar and the host defense response was not necessarily more intense in ancient individuals with significant amounts of abnormal dental calculus deposition. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=Uchida-FukuharaYoko en-aut-sei=Uchida-Fukuhara en-aut-mei=Yoko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=ShimamuraShigeru en-aut-sei=Shimamura en-aut-mei=Shigeru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SawafujiRikai en-aut-sei=Sawafuji en-aut-mei=Rikai kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishiuchiTakumi en-aut-sei=Nishiuchi en-aut-mei=Takumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=YonedaMinoru en-aut-sei=Yoneda en-aut-mei=Minoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshidaHajime en-aut-sei=Ishida en-aut-mei=Hajime kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=MatsumuraHirofumi en-aut-sei=Matsumura en-aut-mei=Hirofumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=TsutayaTakumi en-aut-sei=Tsutaya en-aut-mei=Takumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Oral Morphology, Faculty 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=Research Center for Integrative Evolutionary Science, The Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI) kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Research Center for Experimental Modeling of Human Disease, Kanazawa University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=The University Museum, The University of Tokyo kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Human Biology and Anatomy, Graduate School of Medicine, University of the Ryukyus kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=School of Health Sciences, Sapporo Medical University kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Research Center for Integrative Evolutionary Science, The Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI) kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=99 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=107596 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=202210 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=A pediatric case of ureterolithiasis due to cystinuria accompanied by acute appendicitis; a case report en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Introduction: Acute abdominal pain, a chief complaint frequently seen in the emergency department, can be triggered by a vast range of conditions. Although ureterolithiasis is a less common cause in children, renal colic can be caused by calculi due to hereditary metabolic diseases among patients in those age groups.
Presentation of case: We report a 12-year-old girl with abdominal pain who was diagnosed with concurrent acute appendicitis and ureterolithiasis due to cystinuria. Acute appendicitis was successfully treated with cefmetazole, and the calculus was eliminated after adequate fluid loading.
Discussion: Synchronous acute appendicitis and ureterolithiasis is reported to be rare. Cystinuria is a hereditary metabolic stone-forming disease, and the first calculi can be detected in childhood. Increasing the solubility of cystine in the urine is required to prevent recurrent stone formation and accompanying complications. Urinalysis, ultrasound, and computed tomography coincidentally demonstrated two different acute pathological processes of ureterolithiasis and appendicitis.
Conclusion: Careful physical and laboratory examination can help clinicians find coexisting etiologies of acute abdominal pain. Ureterolithiasis can be seen in children with hereditary disorders such as cystinuria. Early diagnosis of cystinuria and close monitoring may lead to a better long-term outcome. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HiraokaTomohiro en-aut-sei=Hiraoka en-aut-mei=Tomohiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawamuraMai en-aut-sei=Kawamura en-aut-mei=Mai kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=TakadaKeisuke en-aut-sei=Takada en-aut-mei=Keisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=MoriwakeTadashi en-aut-sei=Moriwake en-aut-mei=Tadashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Emergency, Critical Care, and Disaster Medicine, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Pediatrics, Iwakuni Clinical Center kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Pediatrics, Iwakuni Clinical Center kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Pediatrics, Iwakuni Clinical Center kn-affil= en-keyword=Cystinuria kn-keyword=Cystinuria en-keyword=Ureterolithiasis kn-keyword=Ureterolithiasis en-keyword=Cystine kn-keyword=Cystine en-keyword=Acute appendicitis kn-keyword=Acute appendicitis en-keyword=Case report kn-keyword=Case report END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=180 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=104623 end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2022 dt-pub=202210 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Evaluation of Euler number of complex Grassmann manifold G(k,N) via Mathai-Quillen formalism en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this paper, we provide a recipe for computing Euler number of Grassmann manifold G(k, N) by using Mathai-Quillen formalism (MQ formalism) [9] and Atiyah-Jeffrey construc-tion [1].

The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the association between household type, oral health behavior, and periodontal status among Japanese university students. Data were obtained from 377 students who received oral examinations and self-questionnaires in 2016 and 2019. We assessed periodontal status using the percentage of bleeding on probing (%BOP), probing pocket depth, oral hygiene status, oral health behaviors, and related factors. We used structural equation modeling to determine the association between household type, oral health behaviors, gingivitis, and periodontitis. At follow-up, 252 students did not live with their families. The mean +/- standard deviation of %BOP was 35.5 +/- 24.7 at baseline and 32.1 +/- 25.3 at follow-up. In the final model, students living with their families were significantly more likely to receive regular dental checkup than those living alone. Regular checkup affected the decrease in calculus. The decrease in calculus affected the decrease in %BOP over 3 years. Living with family was directly associated with regular dental checkups and indirectly contributed to gingival status among Japanese university students. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=NakaharaMomoko en-aut-sei=Nakahara en-aut-mei=Momoko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=EkuniDaisuke en-aut-sei=Ekuni en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KataokaKota en-aut-sei=Kataoka en-aut-mei=Kota kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YokoiAya en-aut-sei=Yokoi en-aut-mei=Aya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=Uchida-FukuharaYoko en-aut-sei=Uchida-Fukuhara en-aut-mei=Yoko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=FukuharaDaiki en-aut-sei=Fukuhara en-aut-mei=Daiki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KobayashiTerumasa en-aut-sei=Kobayashi en-aut-mei=Terumasa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=ToyamaNaoki en-aut-sei=Toyama en-aut-mei=Naoki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=SahoHikari en-aut-sei=Saho en-aut-mei=Hikari kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=IslamMd Monirul en-aut-sei=Islam en-aut-mei=Md Monirul kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= en-aut-name=IwasakiYoshiaki en-aut-sei=Iwasaki en-aut-mei=Yoshiaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=11 ORCID= en-aut-name=MoritaManabu en-aut-sei=Morita en-aut-mei=Manabu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=12 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Preventive Dentistry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Preventive Dentistry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Preventive Dentistry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Preventive Dentistry, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Preventive Dentistry, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Preventive Dentistry, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Preventive Dentistry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Preventive Dentistry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Preventive Dentistry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Preventive Dentistry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=11 en-affil=Health Service Center, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=12 en-affil=Department of Preventive Dentistry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=lifestyle kn-keyword=lifestyle en-keyword=dental health behavior kn-keyword=dental health behavior en-keyword=oral health kn-keyword=oral health en-keyword=oral hygiene kn-keyword=oral hygiene en-keyword=gingivitis kn-keyword=gingivitis en-keyword=behavioral sciences kn-keyword=behavioral sciences END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=74 cd-vols= no-issue=4 article-no= start-page=293 end-page=299 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2020 dt-pub=202008 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Preoperative Use of Alpha-1 Receptor Blockers in Male Patients Undergoing Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy for a Ureteral Calculus en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this retrospective single-center cohort study, we investigated the impact of preoperative use of an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor (AR) blocker on the outcome of single-session extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) in 193 male patients who underwent SWL for a single ureteral calculus between 2006 and 2016. We reviewed their medical records to obtain the data on the preoperative use of alpha-1 AR blockers. The primary outcome was treatment success after single-session SWL. We performed a multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusting for clinically important confounders to examine the association between preoperative use of alpha-1 AR blockers and the treatment success of SWL. Among the 193 patients, 15 (7.8%) were taking an alpha-1 AR blocker preoperatively. A multivariable analysis showed that preoperative use of an alpha-1 AR blocker was a significant negative predictor for treatment success of SWL (adjusted odds ratio 0.17; 95% confidence intervals, 0.04-0.74). Our findings suggest that the preoperative use of an alpha-1 AR blocker was a negative predictor of treatment success of SWL in male patients with a single ureteral calculus. Clinicians should pay more attention to the preoperative drug use in determining an appropriate stone therapy modality. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YoshiokaTakashi en-aut-sei=Yoshioka en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=OmaeKenji en-aut-sei=Omae en-aut-mei=Kenji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawadaTatsushi en-aut-sei=Kawada en-aut-mei=Tatsushi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=InoueYosuke en-aut-sei=Inoue en-aut-mei=Yosuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=SugimotoMorito en-aut-sei=Sugimoto en-aut-mei=Morito kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=OedaTadashi en-aut-sei=Oeda en-aut-mei=Tadashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=UeharaShinya en-aut-sei=Uehara en-aut-mei=Shinya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 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=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=FukuharaShunichi en-aut-sei=Fukuhara en-aut-mei=Shunichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Center for Innovative Research for Communities and Clinical Excellence (CiRC2LE), Fukushima Medical University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Center for Innovative Research for Communities and Clinical Excellence (CiRC2LE), Fukushima Medical University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Urology, Onomichi Municipal Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Urology, Onomichi Municipal Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Urology, Onomichi Municipal Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil=Department of Urology, Onomichi Municipal Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Urology, Kawasaki Medical School General Medical Center 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=Center for Innovative Research for Communities and Clinical Excellence (CiRC2LE), Fukushima Medical University kn-affil= en-keyword=urolithiasis kn-keyword=urolithiasis en-keyword=extracorporeal shockwave therapy kn-keyword=extracorporeal shockwave therapy en-keyword=adrenergic alpha-1 receptor antagonists kn-keyword=adrenergic alpha-1 receptor antagonists END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=71 cd-vols= no-issue=5 article-no= start-page=449 end-page=452 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=Ureterolithotripsy for a Ureteral Calculus at the Ureteroureterostomy of a Renal-transplant Recipient en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= We describe a 40-year-old living-donor renal-transplant recipient who underwent successful ureterolithotripsy. He had been on hemodialysis for >15 years pre-transplant and underwent ureteroureterostomy along with the surgery. One year post-transplant, ultrasound examination demonstrated hydronephrosis, and CT showed a 6-mm ureteral calculus at the ureteroureterostomy site. No pain and no elevated serum creatinine were present. As the ureter was easily accessed, we performed a ureterolithotripsy, which would confirm whether a suture caused the calculus. Despite ureteral tortuosity, laser stone fragmentation succeeded. The calculus was completely removed with an antegrade guidewire. Mild postoperative ureteral stenosis resolved with a temporary ureteral stent without balloon dilation. Ureterolithotripsy is effective even in renal transplant recipients with ureteroureterostomy. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MitsuiYosuke en-aut-sei=Mitsui en-aut-mei=Yosuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 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=2 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=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YoshiokaTakashi en-aut-sei=Yoshioka en-aut-mei=Takashi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=AriyoshiYuichi en-aut-sei=Ariyoshi en-aut-mei=Yuichi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=NishimuraShingo en-aut-sei=Nishimura en-aut-mei=Shingo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 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=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=SasakiKatsumi en-aut-sei=Sasaki en-aut-mei=Katsumi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 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=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, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil= affil-num=7 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=8 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=9 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=10 en-affil=Department of Urology, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= en-keyword=lithotripsy kn-keyword=lithotripsy en-keyword=recipient kn-keyword=recipient en-keyword=renal transplant kn-keyword=renal transplant en-keyword=ureteroscopy kn-keyword=ureteroscopy en-keyword=ureteral stone kn-keyword=ureteral stone END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=39 cd-vols= no-issue=9 article-no= start-page=844 end-page=849 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2012 dt-pub=201209 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Effects of self-efficacy on oral health behaviours and gingival health in university students aged 18- or 19-years-old en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Aim Although self-efficacy is known to affect various health-related practises, few studies have clearly examined how self-efficacy correlates with oral health behaviors or the oral health condition. We examined the relationship between gingivitis, oral health behaviors and self-efficacy in university students. Material & Methods A total of 2,111 students (1,197 males, 914 females) aged 18 and 19 years were examined. The degree of gingivitis was expressed as the percentage of bleeding on probing (%BOP). Additional information was collected via a questionnaire regarding oral health behaviors (daily frequency of tooth-brushing, use of dental floss and regular check-up). Self-efficacy was assessed using the Self-Efficacy Scale for Self-care (SESS). Path analysis was used to test pathways from self-efficacy to oral health behaviors and %BOP. Results In the final structural model, self-efficacies were related to each other, and they affected oral health behaviors. Good oral health behaviors reduced dental plaque and calculus, and lower levels of dental plaque and calculus resulted in lower %BOP. Conclusion Higher self-efficacy correlated with better oral health behaviours and gingival health in university students. Improving self-efficacy may be beneficial for maintaining good gingival health in university students. To prevent gingivitis, the approach of enhancing self-efficacy in university students would be useful. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MizutaniShinsuke en-aut-sei=Mizutani en-aut-mei=Shinsuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=EkuniDaisuke en-aut-sei=Ekuni en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=FurutaMichiko en-aut-sei=Furuta en-aut-mei=Michiko kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=TomofujiTakaaki en-aut-sei=Tomofuji en-aut-mei=Takaaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=IrieKoichiro en-aut-sei=Irie en-aut-mei=Koichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=AzumaTetsuji en-aut-sei=Azuma en-aut-mei=Tetsuji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=KojimaAzusa en-aut-sei=Kojima en-aut-mei=Azusa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=NagaseJun en-aut-sei=Nagase en-aut-mei=Jun kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=IwasakiYoshiaki en-aut-sei=Iwasaki en-aut-mei=Yoshiaki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= en-aut-name=MoritaManabu en-aut-sei=Morita en-aut-mei=Manabu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=10 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Prevent Dent, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Prevent Dent, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Kyushu Univ, Fac Dent Sci, Div Oral Hlth Growth & Dev, Sect Prevent & Publ Hlth Dent affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Prevent Dent, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Prevent Dent, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Prevent Dent, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Prevent Dent, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Prevent Dent, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Hlth Serv Ctr affil-num=10 en-affil= kn-affil=Okayama Univ, Dept Prevent Dent, Grad Sch Med Dent & Pharmaceut Sci en-keyword=behavioral science kn-keyword=behavioral science en-keyword=cross-sectional studies kn-keyword=cross-sectional studies en-keyword=gingivitis kn-keyword=gingivitis en-keyword=path analysis kn-keyword=path analysis en-keyword=self-efficacy kn-keyword=self-efficacy en-keyword=university students kn-keyword=university students END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=54 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=133 end-page=143 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2012 dt-pub=201201 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=CONTROLLABILITY OF FRACTIONAL INTEGRODIFFERENTIAL SYSTEMS VIA SEMIGROUP THEORY IN BANACH SPACES en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=This paper focuses on controllability results of fractional integrodifferential systems in Banach spaces.

Abaut two years ago, he had a sudden attack of haematuria, but after several days was completely cured by medical treatment. One month later, the attack of haematuria was repeated and this time with complete retention of urine, which was however smoothly drawn off by catheterisation. From that time onward, these fits were repeated, and on several of these occasions he complained of severe pains in the left upper abdomen, or in the bladder region. About two months before his case came before us, namely, at the end of April, 1937, the last attack occurred and was treated as usual, but could not staunch the flow of blood. In adition to this, it was apparent that his anaemia continued to increase. As to his past history, he had, at eighteen years of age, suffered from typhoid. fever. Apart from this he had enjoyed excellent health. He was a well-developed man and well-preserved for his age. The conjunctiva palpebrae et bulbi were anaemic on account of the heavy haemorrhage. His abdomen was apparently normal. Both kidneys were easily palpable, and moved freely with his respiration, and there were no painful parts in the kidney and ureter region. Besides this, there were no other abnormal parts to be seen. Syphilitic reactions were negative (Browning, Murata, M.K.R. II). Blood pressure was 165-85. Pirquets reaction was faintly positive in twenty-four hours. Urine: - Colour, dark red; appearance, two plus cloudy; reaction, acidic; pus cells, three plus; red blood cells, also three plus; micro-organismus, negative. A mixed phenolsulphonephthalein test showed an output of 70% in one hour. He discharged 1095cc of urine during a period of 4 hours from 1000cc of water which he had drunk. The specific weight of his urine before he had drunk the water was 1013, and its minimum specific weight after he had drunk was 1002. Cystoscopy and pyelography, performed on May 26th, 1937, showed a completely normal bladder. The right ureteral orifice was also completely normal, but from the left orifice periodic excretion of bloody urine like red wine was noted. There were no obstacles to the passage of the catheter to either ureter. Urine from the right kidney was normal, but urine from the left side contained many red blood cells and pus cells, as was seen from spontaneous urine. The partial-kidney-function-test of indigocarmin was almost entierly satisfactory as to both kidneys. Pyelogramm of air in both kidneys showed no shadow of calculus. Pyelogramm of iodnatrium: Right side was normal. The shadow of the left side revealed a remarkable change; namely, (1) enlargement of the calyx to twice the size of the right one, (2) the margin of the shadow of the calyx was not plain, but it showed a zigzag con figuration, (3) the density of the shadow was not equal, its appearance seemed reticulate, (4) two round defects of shadow at the upper edge were noted, (5) the shadow of the ureter was normal, (6) generally, the density of shadow on the left side was thinner than on the right. An operation was performed on June 8th lumbar anaesthesia of scurocaine. Incision was made by Bergmann-Israels method. There were no adherations anywhere, so that the kidney was easily picked out. Pathological examination: length 12cm, breath 7cm, thickness 4cm, weight 225g The surface of the kidney was almost plain, but at the upper part of the kidney, two round tumours protruded somewhat. The kidney was rather tender, and felt wavy. On the cutting surface, there were many beautiful coralline papilloma which covered all the mucous membrane of the calyx. At the upper part of the calyx there was a clot of blood about the size of a small hens egg. The parenchym of the kidney itself was thin (about 0.5-1.0cm in breadth) on account of the pressure of the tumour. It seemed as if a sack enveloped the papilloma. Microscopical examination showed a typical papilloma specimen. In the region of the kidney parenchym, many atrophic tubuli and glomeruli mixed with healthy ones were noted. Nineteen days after the operation, the patient was uneventfully cured. About one year after the operation, I got a letter from him, enjoying a healthy life. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WadaMasayuki en-aut-sei=Wada en-aut-mei=Masayuki kn-aut-name=和田雅之 kn-aut-sei=和田 kn-aut-mei=雅之 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山醫科大學皮膚科泌尿器科教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=54 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=511 end-page=535 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1942 dt-pub=19420331 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Beitrag zur Kenntnis von Nierenbecken-und Ureterverdoppelung kn-title=腎盂及ビ輸尿管ノ重複症知見補遺 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Der Verf. konnte in unserer Klinik in mehr als 1000 Pyelogrammen 22 F?lle der Nierenbecken- sowie Ureterverdoppelung finden, woran er sodann klinische und statistische Beobachtungen angestellt hat. 1) Die 22 F?lle der genannten Krankheit bestanden aus 7-74 j?hrigen Patienten von sowohl m?nnlichem als auch weiblichem Geschlecht, darunter 16 F?lle m?nnlichen, 6 F?lle weiblichen Geschlechts waren. Die Kranken des weiblichen Geschlechts waren im Alter zwischen 18 und 39 Jahren. 2) Was die Arten der Verdoppelung anbetrifft, so handelte es sich in 2 F?llen um doppelseitige, in 20 F?llen um einseitige Missbildung. In den F?llen der einseitigen Missbildung trat die Verdoppelung in 13 F?llen linksseitig, in 7 F?llen rechtsseitig. Totale Verdoppelung kam in 3 F?llen und partielle Verdoppelung in 17 F?llen vor. Wenn man die rechte und die linke Seite getrennt wissen wollte, soland man totale Verdoppelung in 4 F?llen, partielle Verdoppelung in 20 F?llen vor. Nach. den Symptomen liessen sich die F?lle folgendermassen einteilen: Einseitige totale Verdoppelung: 13,6% (3 F?lle) Einseitige partielle Verdoppelung: 77,2% (17 F?lle) Auf einer Seite totale, auf der anderen partielle Verdoppelung: 4,5% (1 Fall) Beiderseitige partielle Verdoppelung; 4,5% (1 Fall) 3) In den s?mtlichen 22 F?llen gab es ein Fall, in dem der obere Nierenbecken gr?sser als der untere war. 4) Es liessen sich 13 F?lle der Nierenbeckenverdoppelung feststellen, welche mit anderen Krankheiten einhergingen: 4 F?lle mit Tuberkulose, 3 F?lle mit Calculus und Nierengries, 1 Fall mit Hydronephrose, 1 Fall mit Pyonephrose, 3 F?lle mit Nephropyelitis, 1 Fall mit Blutungsinfarkt. Ein einseitig normaler Nierenbecken fand sich in 6 F?llen, unter denen aber 1 Fall an Tuberkulose und 5 F?lle an Calculus und Nierengries litten. Was andere Erkrankungen des oberen und des unteren Nierenbeckens bei der vorliegenden Missbildung anbetrifft, so fanden rich Erkrankungen des oberen Nierenbeckens in 4 F?llen, die des unteren Nierenbeckens in 2 F?llen und die der beiden Nierenbecken in 3 F?llen. Die Erkrankungen des oberen Nierenbeckens unterschieden sich in Tuberkulose (1 Fall), Calculus (1 Fall) und Blutungsinfarkt (1 Fall): die des unteren Nierenbeckens beruhten auf Tuberkulose (2 F?ll) und Calculus (1 Fall); die der beiden Nierenbecken waren Tuberkulose (2 Falle) und Hydronephrose (1 Fall). 5) Wenn sich bei chromocystoskopischer Untersuchung die Ausscheidung der Farbstoffe irgendwie verz?gert oder sogar keine Ausscheidung tief blauer Pigmente auftritt, ohne dass man krankhafte Somptome feststellen konnte, so muss man an das Vorhandensein der hier in Betracht kommenden Missbildung denken. Einen solchen Fall hat der Verf. bei 4 Patienten vorgefunden. 6) Die Weigert-Meyersche Theorie fand vollst?ndige Geltung in 2 von 4 F?llen, auch die ?brigen 2 F?lle schienen nach dem Erachten des Verfassers sich mit der Theorie in guter ?bereinstimmung zu finden. 7) An anderen Teilen des K?rpers wurde in den s?mtlichen F?llen keine Missbildung festgestellt. Bei der Operation der vorliegenden Nierenbeckenverdoppelung wurde auch keine abnorme Verteilung der Blutgef?sse beobochtet. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TachibanaHidetomo en-aut-sei=Tachibana en-aut-mei=Hidetomo kn-aut-name=橘英基 kn-aut-sei=橘 kn-aut-mei=英基 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山醫科大學皮膚科泌尿器科教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=66 cd-vols= no-issue=9 article-no= start-page=1885 end-page=1892 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1954 dt-pub=19540930 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=STUDIES ON THE RENAL FUNCTION IN RENAL AND URETERAL CALCULUS PART IV.

So. as a part of the studies on renal function in renal and ureteral calculus, here in this Part IV. I made some researches on this problem, and examined the variation of the quantity and specific gravity of urine during the colic attack, so as to investigate the influence of the colic upon excretion and concentration abilities. Besides, the daily urinary quantity on which the colic broke out was also studied and the following results were obtained (1) The materials for the study on fluid test during the colic attack were 3 cases of renal calculus, 3 cases of ureteral calculus and 1 case of both renal and ureteral calculus. (2) The influence of colic attack upon renal function appeared as a hindrance of excretory ability, and all of the 7 cases showed decrease of urinary excretion. The extent of the urinary decrease depended on the severity of the colic. i.e., when stronger the colic the higher the rate of decrease. (3) The improvement of the excretory hindrance was comparatively rapid, and the time needed for improvement depended on the duration of the colic rather than the severity of it, so the longer the duration the slower the improvement. (4) Concerning the influence of the colic attack upon the daily urinary quantity in 2 cases of renal and 8 cases of ureteral calculus, 9 cases showed decrease of the daily urinary quantity and one showed increase. The extent of the decrease in urinary excreiton depended on the duration rather than the severity of the colic, and the longer the duration the higherthe extent of urinary decrease. (5) No special relation could be found between the size of the stone, indigocarmin and phenolsulfonphthalein excretion and the decrease of urinary quantity. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TanabeKiyoshi en-aut-sei=Tanabe en-aut-mei=Kiyoshi kn-aut-name=田辺澄 kn-aut-sei=田辺 kn-aut-mei=澄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=66 cd-vols= no-issue=9 article-no= start-page=1869 end-page=1883 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1954 dt-pub=19540930 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=STUDIES ON THE RENAL FUNCTION IN RENAL AND URETERAL CALCULUS PART III.

(1) In the studies on the quantity and specific gravity of urine, a considerable improvement on the renal function could be observed in one week after the operation, at the end of the second week, the quantity and specific gravity of urine recovered to normal value in almost every case. (2) By taking an average of the daily urine quantity of a week as a daily quantity for that week, in 70% of the cases the urine quantity increased gradually every week and exceeded the level before operation, and in 7% it began decreasing again until it dropped below the level before operation, and in 23% the urine quantity began to increase gradually from the first week after the operation but it did not reach the level before operation. (3) No difference could be found in the improvement of the renal function after the operation between the renal and ureteral calculus, but the improvement were delayed more or less in the bilateral than in the unilateral cases. (4) In the unilateral cases, there was no difference in the improvement of the renal function between the sides of affection. (5) Comparing the results of the fluid and phenolsulfonphthalein test one to two weeks after the operation with that of which performed before the operation, both of them took a favourable turn, and besides, the excretion ability improved, more or less rapidly than the concentration ability. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TanabeKiyoshi en-aut-sei=Tanabe en-aut-mei=Kiyoshi kn-aut-name=田辺澄 kn-aut-sei=田辺 kn-aut-mei=澄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=66 cd-vols= no-issue=9 article-no= start-page=1851 end-page=1868 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1954 dt-pub=19540930 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=STUDIES ON THE RENAL FUNCTION IN RENAL AND URETERAL CALCULUS PART II. RENAL FUNCTION IN URETERAL CALCULUS kn-title=腎石症及び尿管石症における腎機能の研究 第2編 尿管石症における腎機能の研究 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In Part I, the renal function in renal calculus had been described, and now, in this Part II, a few researches on the reral function in 59 cases of ureteral calculus were performed by examining the fluid test, indigocarmin and phenolsulfonphthalein excretion test, and the following results were obtained: (1) Concerning the fluid test, 33 cases had insufficiency of renal function of various degrees, including 18 cases (30%) of insufficiency both in excretion and concentration abilities, 14 cases (24%) of insufficiency only in concentration ability and 1 case (2%) of insufficiency only in excretion ability. (2) By assorting the results of the fluid test into 3 types by means of the relation between the urine excretion quantity and the specific garvity, 43 cases (73%) belonged to type I (complete type), 14 cases (24%) to type III (incomplete type), and 2 cases (3%) to type II (prolonged type). Besides, 23% of type I, 37% of type II and all of type III had renal insufficiency. (3) 30% of the unilateral cases and 50% of the bilateral cases had insufficiency of excretion ability, 49% of the unilateral cases and 80% of the bilteral cases expressed insufficiency of concentration ability, that is to say, the bilateral cases showed higher percentage of renal insufficiency than the unilateral cases. Moreover, the insufficiency of excretion ability was found in 30% and the insufficiency of concentration ability in 50% of the 59 cases, so the concentration ability was affected more frequently than the excretion ability. (4) In indigocarmin excretion test; concerning the unilateral cases, 21% of the cases showed normal excretion from both kidneys, 62% with hindrance in the affected side, and 17% with hindrance in both sides, and in the bilateral cases, 75% of them showed hindrance in both sides and 25% showed hindrance in one, and none with normal excretion from both kidneys. (5) In phenolsulfonphthalein test, 18% of the cases showed hindrance in its excretion, when this is classified, 14% in unilateral and 34% in bilateral cases. (6) Influence of the dilatation of renal pelvis, calyces and ureter to renal function could not be seen. (7) In ureteral calculus, the sizes of the stones had a intimate connection to the renal function. 71% of the patients with large stones (stones larger than lom in minor axis), 60% with medium size (stones larger than 0.6cm in minor axis) and 47% with small stones (stones smaller than 0.5cm in minor axis) showed more or less renal insufficiency and, that is, the percentage of renal insuffieiency grows higher in proportion to the size of the renal calculus. (8) Renal insufficiency depends on the situation of the obstruction of the ureter due to the stone. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TanabeKiyoshi en-aut-sei=Tanabe en-aut-mei=Kiyoshi kn-aut-name=田辺澄 kn-aut-sei=田辺 kn-aut-mei=澄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=66 cd-vols= no-issue=9 article-no= start-page=1837 end-page=1850 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1954 dt-pub=19540930 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=STUDIES ON THE RENAL FUNCTION IN RENAL AND URETERAL CALCULUS PART I. RENAL FUNCTION IN RENAL CALCULUS kn-title=腎石症及び尿管石症における腎機能の研究 第1編 腎石症における腎機能の研究 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=I have made a study on the renal function in 63 cases of renal calculus by examining fluid test, indigocarmin and phenolsulfonphthalein excretion test and obtained the following results: (1) Concerning the fluid test, there were 26 cases (41%) with renal dysfunction of various grades which includes 10 cases (16%) of insufficiency both in excretion and concentration abilities, 14 cases (22%) of insufficiency only in concentration ability, 2 cases (3%) of insufficiency only in excretion ability. (2) Classifying the results of the fluid test in three types according to the relationship between the urine excretion quantity and the specific gravity, 79% belonged to type I (or complete type), 13% to type III (or incomplete type), 8% to type II (or prolonged type). (3) Insufficiency of the excretion ability were found in 15% of unilateral cases and in 29% of bilateral cases, and 22% of unilateral and 82% of bilateral cases had insufficiency of the concentration ability, and so it could be said that the renal dysfunction in renalcalculus appears more frequently in bilateral rather than in unilateral cases and in concentration rather than in excretion ability. (4) In indigocarmin excretion test, concerning the unilateral cases, 12% of them showed nornal excretion from both kidneys, 57% with disturbance in the affected side, 7% in the opposite side and 24% in both sides; and in the bilateral cases, 7% of them showed normal excretion from both kidneys, 57% with disturbance in only one kidney, and 36% in both kidneys. (5) In phenolsulfonphthalein test, 17% showed excretion insufficiency, including 8% in unilateral and 40% in bilateral cases, and the bilateral cases were affected more frequently than the unilateral cases. (6) Influence of the complication of hydronephrosis to the renal function was not to be seen in the previous three tests. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TanabeKiyoshi en-aut-sei=Tanabe en-aut-mei=Kiyoshi kn-aut-name=田辺澄 kn-aut-sei=田辺 kn-aut-mei=澄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=69 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=93 end-page=101 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1957 dt-pub=19570131 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=CLINICAL STUDY ON THE PROSTATIC HYPERTROPHY. (CONSECUTIVE REPORT) kn-title=前立腺肥大症の臨床的觀察（続報） en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=279 patients with the prostatic hypertrophy were investigated. They were visited to the Department of Dermato-Urology, Okayama University Hospital for 7 years from 1948 to 1954 and investigated about the following 16 articles. (1) Frequency of the patients and the classification of the stages of the diseases: total average rate to the total urological patients was 3.1% and the highest was the second stage of the prostatic hypertrophy through 7 years. (2) Age at admission: 43.5% were between 60 and 70 years of age. (3) Duration from onset to admission: 63.9% of patients were visited within one year from onset. (4) Past history: gonorrhoea were found to be the most highest percentages among the others, that is 42.1%. (5) Occupation: the order was farmer, no occupation and followed business man. (6) Season at admission: no special relation was found at all seasons of the year. (7) Constitution and nutrition: most of them were found in well nourished and fine built. (8) Subjective complaint: frequency of urination was first and then followed obstruction, weak urinary stream and residual sensation of micturition. (9) Residual urine: about 50 cc of the residual urine was found in the highest percentage. (10) Rectal examination of the prostate: mostly slight enlarged of prostate and then hen-egg sized, surfaces of the tumors were smooth and induration were moderately elastic and most of them had no pain being due to the pressure by finger. (11) Length of urethra, penis and perimeter of penis: average measurements were as followed. Averaged urethral length 20.1 cm; length of penis 11.4 cm; perimeter of penis 7.7 cm. (12) Bladder capacity: mostly 301-400 cc. (13) Trabecula of the mucous membrane of the bladder: most of them were found in the second stage. (14) Blood pressure: mean blood pressure was 129 mmHg. and the highest was 170 mmHg. (15) Renal function: (1) dilution ad concentration test. (2) phenolsulfonphthalein test. (3) indigo-carmine excretory test. The results were divided into two groups. One was good and the other was bad. Much of them were found in good in the second stage and bad in the third stage. (16) Complications: many of them were acute and chronic epididymitis, atrophy of testis, cystitis and vesical calculus. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MaedaNaohisa en-aut-sei=Maeda en-aut-mei=Naohisa kn-aut-name=前田尚久 kn-aut-sei=前田 kn-aut-mei=尚久 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KosokabeYoshio en-aut-sei=Kosokabe en-aut-mei=Yoshio kn-aut-name=香曾我部芳夫 kn-aut-sei=香曾我部 kn-aut-mei=芳夫 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamamuraEitaro en-aut-sei=Yamamura en-aut-mei=Eitaro kn-aut-name=山村英太郎 kn-aut-sei=山村 kn-aut-mei=英太郎 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KawaiTetsuya en-aut-sei=Kawai en-aut-mei=Tetsuya kn-aut-name=河合哲也 kn-aut-sei=河合 kn-aut-mei=哲也 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KamedaTakanori en-aut-sei=Kameda en-aut-mei=Takanori kn-aut-name=亀田隆徳 kn-aut-sei=亀田 kn-aut-mei=隆徳 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=TamuraSeiichiro en-aut-sei=Tamura en-aut-mei=Seiichiro kn-aut-name=田村誠一郎 kn-aut-sei=田村 kn-aut-mei=誠一郎 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=IseiKunisuke en-aut-sei=Isei en-aut-mei=Kunisuke kn-aut-name=為政邦輔 kn-aut-sei=為政 kn-aut-mei=邦輔 aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=KamidateMitsugu en-aut-sei=Kamidate en-aut-mei=Mitsugu kn-aut-name=上館貢 kn-aut-sei=上館 kn-aut-mei=貢 aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= en-aut-name=KuniharaKakuzo en-aut-sei=Kunihara en-aut-mei=Kakuzo kn-aut-name=国原角三 kn-aut-sei=国原 kn-aut-mei=角三 aut-affil-num=9 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 affil-num=9 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部皮膚科泌尿器科教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=28 cd-vols= no-issue=3 article-no= start-page=87 end-page=93 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1996 dt-pub=19961205 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Comparative Statics in the Large : A Note en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=In this note, an abstract setting for discussing comparative statics in the large is presented to give a necessary and sufficient condition for the first Hicksian law to hold. This condition is gradually tranformed to the one through which we are able to see clearly the power of a theorem due to Gale and Nikaido. This theorem has been overlooked probably because it apparently does not involve the two systems to be compared. Moreover the condition for the theorem to be valid also guarantees the uniqueness of a solution to the equation systems under consideration. Some comments are also given to a recent contribution by T. Shiomura. His method of proof is based upon an advanced homotopy approach for fixed point algorithm. One important consequence of his results is that imperfect stability is enough to establish the first Hicksian law in general equilibrium models. This may, however, be shown using elementary calculus. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=FujimotoTakao en-aut-sei=Fujimoto en-aut-mei=Takao kn-aut-name=藤本喬雄 kn-aut-sei=藤本 kn-aut-mei=喬雄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil= END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=12 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=123 end-page=133 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2006 dt-pub=20060824 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Some classical views on the parameters of the Grothendieck-Teichm?eller group en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=

We present two new formulas concerning behaviors of the standard parameters of the Grothendieck-Teichm?ller group GT , and discuss their relationships with classical mathematics. First, considering a non-Galois etale cover of P1 {0 1 infinity} of degree 4, we present a newtype equation satisfied by the Galois image in GT . Second, a certain equation in GL 2 (Z||Z2 ) satisfied by every element of GT is derived as an application of (profinite) free differential calculus.

An attempt is made here to introduce and study a pair of double power series associated with the generalized zeta function due to Erd?lyi Φ(x; z; a) together with related sums, integral representations, generating relations and N-fractional calculus. A number of (known and new) results shown to follow as special cases of our theorems.

We report a case in which retroperitoneoscopic pyelolithotomy was the procedure selected to treat a large stone in the upper urinary tract. A 71-year-old woman who had multiple cerebral infarction and dementia was admitted with a persistent high fever unresponsive to antibiotics. The diagnosis was pyelonephritis and urosepsis associated with ureteral calculus. A large calculus(3.0 x 2.0 cm)was found in the left ureter at the L3 level. She underwent nephrostomy of the left side. After the patient's general condition had improved, surgery was performed successfully with an uneventful recovery. The findings in this case confirm that retroperitoneoscopic surgery allows removal of a large stone in a single, minimally invasive procedures.

Hence in the latter cases it is necessary to distinguish it from bilestone, kidney stone, peritoneal calcified lymph node, splenic venous thrombus, or duodenal diverticulosis. Therefore, for the diagnosis of the parapancreatic calculus it is important to take a single roentgenogram of the entire abdomen as well as lateral views of the abdomen, the combination of which would afford us to identify the parapancreatic calculus from the density of its shadow, its site and its size. We have recently encountered three patients with pancreatic calculus and present our observations of the cases as well as some remarks on them from the aspects of roentgenology. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YamamotoMichio en-aut-sei=Yamamoto en-aut-mei=Michio kn-aut-name=山本道夫 kn-aut-sei=山本 kn-aut-mei=道夫 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanabeMasatada en-aut-sei=Tanabe en-aut-mei=Masatada kn-aut-name=田辺正忠 kn-aut-sei=田辺 kn-aut-mei=正忠 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=AonoKaname en-aut-sei=Aono en-aut-mei=Kaname kn-aut-name=青野要 kn-aut-sei=青野 kn-aut-mei=要 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KumadaYasumasa en-aut-sei=Kumada en-aut-mei=Yasumasa kn-aut-name=久萬田泰昌 kn-aut-sei=久萬田 kn-aut-mei=泰昌 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorinoYasuo en-aut-sei=Morino en-aut-mei=Yasuo kn-aut-name=森野靖雄 kn-aut-sei=森野 kn-aut-mei=靖雄 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=WatanabeSetsuo en-aut-sei=Watanabe en-aut-mei=Setsuo kn-aut-name=渡辺節生 kn-aut-sei=渡辺 kn-aut-mei=節生 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部放射線医学教室 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部放射線医学教室 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部放射線医学教室 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部放射線医学教室 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部放射線医学教室 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部放射線医学教室 END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=61 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=138 end-page=142 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=1990 dt-pub=199009 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=A case report of appendiceal calculus presented as abdominal tumor kn-title=腹部腫瘤を主訴とした虫垂結石の一例 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract=Appendiceal calculi are found in the only several percent of patients with appendicitis and have been known to be complicated in severe appendicitis or perforated peritonitis. We reported a 41-year-old female patient, whose initial symptom was right lower abdominal tumor of insidious growing. Abdominal examination revealed a small fist sized hard mass in the right lower abdomen with slight tenderness, and free of rebound tenderness and muscle defence. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography showed that the tumor had continuity with appendix and contained calcification inside. Accordingly, she was diagnosed to have an appendiceal neoplasm and operated on. Post-operative diagnosis was appendiceal abscess with a calculus, 1 centimeter in diameter. It is rare that appendiceal calculi manifest a palpable abdominal tumor like this case. kn-abstract=虫垂結石は虫垂炎手術例の数％に見られるに過ぎないが，穿孔性腹膜炎などの重篤な炎症を招く可能性が高いことで知られている。自験例は41才の女性で，右下腹部腫瘤を主訴として来院した。画像診断で腫瘤は虫垂に連続し，内部に石灰化を認めたが，腫瘤が硬く，虫垂炎症状が軽微であったことから，虫垂原発腫瘍を疑い手術を行ったところ，虫垂膿瘍を併発した虫垂結石であった。本症が自験例のように触知可能な腹部腫瘤を形成することは比較的まれである。 en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SuzukaIchio en-aut-sei=Suzuka en-aut-mei=Ichio kn-aut-name=鈴鹿伊智雄 kn-aut-sei=鈴鹿 kn-aut-mei=伊智雄 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HiraiShunichi en-aut-sei=Hirai en-aut-mei=Shunichi kn-aut-name=平井俊一 kn-aut-sei=平井 kn-aut-mei=俊一 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MorisueShinhachi en-aut-sei=Morisue en-aut-mei=Shinhachi kn-aut-name=森末真八 kn-aut-sei=森末 kn-aut-mei=真八 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SodaMitsuhiro en-aut-sei=Soda en-aut-mei=Mitsuhiro kn-aut-name=曽田益弘 kn-aut-sei=曽田 kn-aut-mei=益弘 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=KomotoYoshiaki en-aut-sei=Komoto en-aut-mei=Yoshiaki kn-aut-name=古元嘉昭 kn-aut-sei=古元 kn-aut-mei=嘉昭 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YorozuHidenori en-aut-sei=Yorozu en-aut-mei=Hidenori kn-aut-name=萬秀憲 kn-aut-sei=萬 kn-aut-mei=秀憲 aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属環境病態研究施設リハビリテーション外科学分野 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属環境病態研究施設リハビリテーション外科学分野 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属環境病態研究施設リハビリテーション外科学分野 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属環境病態研究施設リハビリテーション外科学分野 affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属環境病態研究施設リハビリテーション外科学分野 affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学医学部附属環境病態研究施設リハビリテーション外科学分野 en-keyword=虫垂結石 (Appendiceal calculus) kn-keyword=虫垂結石 (Appendiceal calculus) en-keyword=腹部腫瘤 (Abdominal tumor) kn-keyword=腹部腫瘤 (Abdominal tumor) en-keyword=急性虫垂炎 (Acute appendicitis) kn-keyword=急性虫垂炎 (Acute appendicitis) END
