| 抄録 | Antimicrobial resistance is an emerging global threat that must be addressed using a multidisciplinary approach. This study aimed to raise awareness of high-level antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) pathogens in Japan by comparing their recent prevalences among prefectures, particularly Okayama. Data for the isolation proportions of meropenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, cefotaxime-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, and levofloxacin-resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae were collected from the Japan Nosocomial Infections Surveillance, a national database sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, between 2018 and 2021. The average isolated proportions of the seven AMR pathogens were higher in Okayama compared to other prefectures: the worst (19.9%) was meropenem-resistant P. aeruginosa, the sixth worst (57.2%) was methicillin-resistant S. aureus, the eighth worst (3.3%) was vancomycin-resistant E. faecium, the second (37.8%) and fifth worst (17.6%) were cefotaxime-resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae, respectively, and the fourth (49.9%) and third worst (8.7%) were levofloxacin-resistant E. coli and K. pneumoniae, respectively. Our study highlights the notably high prevalences of representative AMR pathogens in Okayama, suggesting the need for fundamental infection prevention and control by healthcare professionals, promoting antimicrobial stewardship, and educating undergraduates and postgraduates in Okayama. |

| 抄録 | Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a critical role in metabolic homeostasis. BAT dysfunction is associated with the development of obesity through an imbalance between energy expenditure and energy intake. The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is the master regulator of adipogenesis. However, the roles of PPARγ and thiazolidinediones (TZDs) in the regulation of BAT metabolism remain unclear. TZDs, which are selective PPARγ activators, improve systemic insulin resistance in animals and humans. In the present study, we generated brown adipocyte-specific PPARγ-deficient mice (BATγKO) to examine the in vivo roles of PPARγ and TZDs in BAT metabolism. In electron microscopic examinations, brown adipocyte-specific PPARγ deletion promoted severe whitening of brown fat and morphological alteration of mitochondria. Brown adipocyte-specific PPARγ deletion also reduced mRNA expression of BAT-selective genes. Although there was no difference in energy expenditure between control and BATγKO mice in calorimetry, norepinephrine-induced thermogenesis was impaired in BATγKO mice. Moreover, pioglitazone treatment improved diet-induced insulin resistance in the control mice but not in the BATγKO mice. These findings suggest that BAT PPARγ is necessary for the maintenance of brown adipocyte function and for the insulin-sensitizing action of TZDs. |

| 抄録 | Several previous case reports have shown that patients with immunoglobulin D (IgD) multiple myeloma (MM) can be withdrawn from hemodialysis, however, the characteristics that can predict withdrawal in these patients have not yet been elucidated. A 57-year-old Japanese woman required hemodialysis because of renal dysfunction due to IgD-λ and Bence Jones protein-λ MM. Bortezomib-based chemotherapy nine days after admission led to her withdrawal from hemodialysis on Day 50. In our case-based review, younger age and early initiation of bortezomib-based chemotherapy emerged as possible predictors of successful hemodialysis withdrawal. |

| 抄録 | Psychosomatic disorders are influenced by psychosocial factors such as interpersonal relationships. Coping behaviors, especially in frustrating situations, reflect a patient’s ability to cope with stress, and it is important to assess these behaviors for the treatment of psychosomatic diseases. This study aimed to clarify the interpersonal relationships and coping behaviors of pediatric patients with psychosomatic diseases during frustrating situations simulated using the Rosenzweig Picture-Frustration study. This retrospective study included 126 patients (41 male, 85 female) with an average age of 12.9 (6-16) years who were consulted at the Department of Pediatric Psychosomatic Medicine at Okayama University Hospital from 2013 to 2018 and underwent the P-F study. Each score was compared with a standardization sample. The mean group conformity rating did not differ significantly between the participants and healthy children. Compared with healthy children, those with psychosomatic diseases were less likely to explain their perspective. The children with psychosomatic disorders responded to frustrating situations in a sensible and age-appropriate manner. However, they were less likely to respond by explaining their perspective to protect themselves. |

| 抄録 | Alcoholic liver disease is a risk factor for non-virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which is increasing in prevalence. This study aimed to identify the factors for recovery from alcoholic liver failure. Sixty-two consecutive patients hospitalized for alcoholic liver failure at Okayama City Hospital were enrolled. The characteristics of patients who survived to the 1-month follow-up and whose liver function improved to Child–Pugh A at 3 months (CPA3) and 12 months (CPA12) were compared with the rest of the patients. The survivors at 1 month (50 patients) were significantly younger than the deceased patients and had better liver and renal function with higher levels of γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT). The same factors, except renal function, were correlated with achieving CPA3. High AST, ALT, and GGT levels as well as short spleen length, total abstinence, and good Child–Pugh scores at admission were identified as factors for achieving CPA12. The extent of alcohol intake before admission was not identified as a risk factor in any analysis. In conclusion, baseline liver function is crucial for survival and achieving CPA3, whereas high transaminase and γ-GTP levels, the absence of splenomegaly, and total abstinence are significant factors for achieving CPA12. |

| 抄録 | An intraoperative double-low condition is defined as concurrent low values for bispectral index (BIS) and mean arterial pressure (MAP), and may predict perioperative outcomes. We hypothesized that prolonged double-low times might be associated with an increased incidence of postoperative delirium. We conducted a single-center retrospective observational study on patients who had been admitted to our hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery and whose BIS and MAP data had been recorded during general anesthesia. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative delirium. A double-low condition was defined as BIS < 45 and MAP <75 mmHg. The total double-low time was calculated in 1-min increments and used to divide the patients into quintiles. Multiple logistic regression analyses were conducted. Among the 334 patients included in the study, the incidence of postoperative delirium was 15.6% (n=52). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that a prolonged double-low time, defined as a total double-low time of > 42 min (i.e., third, fourth, and fifth quintiles), was significantly associated with an increased incidence of postoperative delirium (adjusted odds ratio: 2.61, 95% confidence interval: 1.27-5.37, p=0.009). Prolonged double-low time during general anesthesia was independently associated with an increased incidence of postoperative delirium in surgical ICU patients. |

| 抄録 | The curriculum at the Department of Pathophysiology in the Periodontal Sciences program at Okayama University includes normative preclinical training (NPT) using phantoms. NPT is given to the whole class of 5 th year students divided in groups of 8 students/instructor. In 2019, an innovative personalized preclinical training (PPT) pilot study was implemented for this group of students whereby two students, each with their own dental unit, were coached by one instructor. The main topics covered were dental ergonomics and endodontics. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of PPT in dental ergonomics and endodontics toward increasing the knowledge and future clinical skills of students who had already undergone NPT. A test on endodontics was taken before and after PPT. A questionnaire was completed to assess their perception of improvement regarding the above-mentioned topics. Test scores and questionnaire results both showed that the students’ level of knowledge and awareness of future clinical skills was significantly higher after PPT. This pilot study demonstrated that PPT increased the students’ knowledge and future clinical skills. As preclinical training forms the foundation for clinical practice, investment in future research regarding this personalized approach is likely to enhance students’ understanding and clinical performance. |

| 抄録 | We investigated the link between prolonged sedentary bouts and all-cause mortality in patients on chronic hemodialysis, using a prospective cohort. A total of 104 outpatients on chronic hemodialysis from 2013 to 2019, aged 71.4±11.4 years, were enrolled. Prolonged sedentary bouts (≥ 30 min and ≥60 min) (min and bouts) and relative prolonged sedentary bouts (≥ 30 min and ≥ 60 min) (%) on the patients’ non-hemodialysis days were measured by a tri-accelerometer, and we also analyzed the patients’ clinical parameters. The relationship between prolonged sedentary bouts and all-cause mortality was evaluated by a survival analysis and the Cox proportional hazard model. Thirty-five patients died during the follow-up period. A Kaplan-Meier analysis detected significant differences in the survival rate between two groups stratified by the median for all prolonged sedentary-bout parameters. After the adjustment for confounding factors, all of the prolonged sedentary-bout parameters were determinant factors for all-cause mortality. These results indicate that prolonged sedentary bouts on non-hemodialysis days were closely related to all-cause mortality in the patients on hemodialysis. |

| 抄録 | Eating disorders (EDs) are associated with a high mortality rate. Patients with EDs often experience severe dehydration due to food restriction and/or vomiting. Severely underweight patients are often prescribed bed rest during inpatient care to reduce their energy consumption, and they may thus develop multiple risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE). We compared the clinical features of ED inpatients with VTE to those of ED inpatients without VTE. Seventy-one inpatients with ED were treated at Okayama University Hospital’s psychiatric ward in 2016-2020; five were experienced a VTE. Compared to the non-VTE group, the VTE group’s median age and disease duration were greater and the median body mass index (BMI) was lower. The VTE group’s D-dimer peak values were > 5 mg/L. Physical restraint and central venous catheter use were associated with VTE. Longer ED duration and lower BMI might be risk factors for VTE. To make inpatient treatment for ED safer, it is important to avoid the use of physical restraints and central venous catheters. Continuous D-dimer monitoring is necessary for the early detection of VTE in ED patients at high risk of VTE. |

| 抄録 | 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 “ice ball”. 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. |

| 抄録 | When we analyze the international and interregional relation we need the Transnational Interregional Input-Output Table based on International Input-Output Table. At the moment Transnational Interregional Input-Output Table between Japan and China （TIIOT） made by IDE-JETRO provide the most useful information about these research. However, the regional classification of Japan in the table is not classified in detail such as Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto and so on. Therefore, the author divide Kanto area of TIIOT into 11 regions by information based on author's study （Ishiro （2011））. Furthermore, we divide the South Korea into 6 regions to expand our study and database. We analyze water footprint between Japan and mainland China and South Korea （Ishiro and Hasebe （2013））. Additionally, we expand our database to divide 7 region of mainland China into 30 regions by information of China multi-regional input-output table（ Ishiro and Yu（2016））. In this study we analyze the water inducement structures between Japan's Tokyo and Kanagawa and China's Beijing and Shanghai and South Koreaʼs Sudogwon by the database of Ishiro and Yu（2016） |

| 抄録 | Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a side effect in patients taking bone-modifying agents (BMAs), which are highly beneficial for treating osteoporosis and cancer. Bisphosphonates are prescribed to treat secondary osteoporosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We recently encountered two unusual cases of intraoral ONJ in RA patients who had not been treated with a BMA and did not have features of methotrexate- associated lymphoproliferative disorder. Their ONJ stage II bone exposures were treated by conservative therapy, providing good prognoses. These cases indicate that ONJ can occur in RA patients not treated with bisphosphonates. Several risk factors are discussed. |

| 抄録 | Appropriate operations in severe anterior open bite (AOB) cases are extremely complicated to perform because of the multiple surgical procedures involved, the difficulty of predicting posttreatment aesthetics, and the high relapse rate. We herein report a 16-year-old girl with skeletal Class II, severe AOB malocclusion, and crowding with short roots, and aesthetic and functional problems. Four-piece segmental Le Fort I osteotomy with horseshoe osteotomy was performed for maxillary intrusion, and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) and genioplasty were performed for mandibular advancement. The malocclusion and skeletal deformity were significantly improved by the surgical orthodontic treatment. Functional and aesthetic occlusion with an improved facial profile was established, and no further root shortening was observed. Acceptable occlusion and dentition were maintained after a two-year retention period. This strategy of surgical orthodontic treatment with a complicated operative procedure might be effective for correcting certain severe AOB malocclusion cases. |

| 抄録 | A 35-year-old female presented with headache, photophobia and developed sudden loss of vision after having undergone right-side ophthalmectomy and radiochemotherapy for retinoblastoma in infancy. A neoplastic lesion was found in the left middle cranial fossa and was surgically removed. The diagnosis was radiation-induced osteosarcoma with RB1 gene alteration. Although she received chemotherapy for the residual tumor, it progressed 17 months later. Maximal surgical resection with craniofacial reconstruction was required. We utilized two three-dimensional models for surgical planning. She was discharged without neurological deficits other than loss of light perception subsequent to left ophthalmectomy. In cases where retinoblastoma is treated with radiotherapy, long-term follow-up is necessary to monitor for radiation-induced tumor development. |

| 抄録 | Osteoid osteoma (OO) is a benign bone tumor that presents with nocturnal pain. Computed tomography (CT)- guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been widely performed for OO, and major adverse events post-RFA are rare. We report a case of OO in the left navicular bone of a 15-year-old male. He underwent RFA for OO, and the pain improved temporarily. At the 1-month follow-up, the patient complained of left foot pain, and a CT examination revealed a fracture of the ablated navicular bone. Fractures are rare but must be taken into account after bone RFA. |

| 抄録 | Novel deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) reportedly changes the image quality characteristics based on object contrast and image noise. In clinical practice, computed tomography image noise is usually controlled by tube current modulation (TCM) to accommodate changes in object size. This study aimed to evaluate the image quality characteristics of DLIR for different object sizes when the in-plane noise was controlled by TCM. Images acquisition was performed on a GE Revolution CT system to investigate the impact of the DLIR algorithm compared to the standard reconstructions of filtered-back projection (FBP) and hybrid iterative reconstruction (hybrid-IR). The image quality assessment was performed using phantom images, and an observer study was conducted using clinical cases. The image quality assessment confirmed the excellent noise- reduction performance of DLIR, despite variations due to phantom size. Similarly, in the observer study, DLIR received high evaluations regardless of the body parts imaged. We evaluated a novel DLIR algorithm by replicating clinical behaviors. Consequently, DLIR exhibited higher image quality than those of FBP and hybrid-IR in both phantom and observer studies, albeit the value depended on the reconstruction strength, and proved itself capable of providing stable image quality in clinical use. |

| 抄録 | Systemic therapy for stage IV breast cancer is usually an initial treatment and is based on findings regarding biomarkers (e.g., hormone receptors and human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 [HER2]). However, the response to therapy and outcomes sometime differ among patients with similar prognostic factors including grade, hormone receptor, HER2, and more. We conducted retrospective analyses to evaluate the correlations between the overall survival (OS) of 46 stage IV breast cancer patients and (i) the peripheral absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and (ii) composite blood cell markers. The peripheral blood cell markers included the neutrophil- to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and the most recently introduced indicator, the pan-immune-inflammatory value (PIV). The SIRI and PIV showed prognostic impacts on the patients: those with a low SIRI or a low PIV showed significantly better OS than those with a high SIRI (5-year, 66.0% vs. 35.0%, p<0.05) or high PIV (5-year, 68.1% vs. 38.5%, p<0.05), respectively. This is the first report indicating the possible prognostic value of the PIV for OS in patients with stage IV breast cancer. Further studies with larger numbers of patients are necessary for further clarification. |

| 抄録 | The SHRSP5/Dmcr is a useful animal model for the development of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) pathology when fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet, and further drug interventions can lead to concomitant cardiovascular disease. While SHRSP5/Dmcr rats have been used for basic research related to NASH, details of their bile acid metabolism in this condition are unknown. In this study, we aimed to clarify the changes in the serum bile acid (BA) fractions associated with NASH and found that glycine-conjugated and unconjugated bile acid increased with worsening NASH and cardiovascular disease while taurine-conjugated BA relatively decreased. |
