Abstract
We previously demonstrated that a cellular factor, cyclosporin A (CsA) associated helicase-like protein (CAHL) that is identical to YTH domain containing 2 (YTHDC2), forms trimer complex with cyclophilin B and NS5B of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and facilitates HCV genome replication. Gene expression of YTHDC2 was shown in tumor cell lines and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α-treated hepatocytes, but not in untreated. However, the function of YTHDC2 in the tumor cells and the mechanism by which the YTHDC2 gene is transcribed in these cells is largely unknown. We first evaluated that the role of YTHDC2 in the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line Huh7 using RNA interference and found that YTHDC2-downregulated Huh7 were significantly decreased cell growth as compared to control. We next demonstrated that the cAMP response element (CRE) site in the promoter region of the YTHDC2 gene is critical for YTHDC2 transcription. To further investigate the transcription factors bound to the CRE site, we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Our findings demonstrate that c-Jun and ATF-2 bind to the CRE site in Huh7, and that TNF-α induces the biological activity of these transcription factors in hepatocytes as well as Huh7. Moreover, treatment with the HDAC inhibitor, trichostatin A (TSA), reduces YTHDC2 expression in Huh7 and in TNF-α-stimulated hepatocytes. Collectively, these data show that YTHDC2 plays an important role in tumor cells growth and activation/recruitment of c-Jun and ATF-2 to the YTHDC2 promoter is necessary for the transcription of YTHDC2, and that HDAC activity is required for the efficient expression of YTHDC2 in both of hepatocyte and HCC cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Histamine 2-receptor antagonists were used as a first therapy against functional dyspepsia. However, few clinical studies with famotidine for functional dyspepsia have been reported. AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of famotidine for functional dyspepsia patients. METHODS A multicentre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trail was conducted. Patients diagnosed with functional dyspepsia by the Roma II criteria were included. Subjects were randomized into two groups, and received either famotidine or placebo as the first 4 weeks medication. After a 1-week washout period, they were switched to the other regimen for another 4 weeks. Evaluation was made prior to the start of study, upon completion of the first drug cycle, and the second drug cycle, by Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale for the seriousness of abdominal symptoms, and by Short Form-36 for the level of quality of life. RESULTS Nineteen of 21 enrolled patients successfully completed this study. Significant improvement in Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale scores was observed in abdominal pain (P = 0.007), indigestion and reflux syndrome after famotidine treatment. Also quality of life scores showed significant improvement in body pain, vitality and general health perceptions after famotidine treatment. There was no improvement of symptoms and quality of life scores after administration of placebo. CONCLUSIONS Famotidine was effective for improving symptoms and quality of life in functional dyspepsia patients.

Abstract
The entire population in Japan is covered by either workplace-based health insurance program or region-based health insurance program. While both programs were originally for curative medical care, only the former program has recently extended its financial support to preventive health examination. The attitude of the people toward health examination was studied in Miyagi prefecture in north-east Japan by questionnaires with more than 32,000 respondents to examine whether the difference in health insurance reflect on the rates of acceptance of 4 health examination items (i.e., blood pressure measurement, chest x-ray taking, and 2 screening tests for stomach and cervical cancer). Throughout the 4 items, the rate of acceptance was higher among those who were covered by workplace-based health insurance than among those covered by regional health insurance. The difference is large for the insured and less so for the family dependents of the insured. Further analysis for the preferred opportunities for health examination such as personal examination at clinics in contrast to region-based mass examination showed that the weight of clinics was quite large for the insured of national health insurance and their family dependents (i.e., 50% or even larger) but it was less so for the people covered by workplace-based insurance.

Abstract
Over 40,000 residents (less than or equal to 40 years of age) in a city (Sendai; the city group), a town (Shiroishi; the town group) and two villages (Wakuya and Tajiri; the village group) in Miyagi prefecture in north-eastern Japan responded in a questionnaire survey on their attitude towards mass health examinations (i.e., whether they underwent in the previous year and if so where) on 4 items of blood pressure measurement, chest x-ray examination and screening tests for stomach and cervical cancer. The coverage rates were about 70% on an average both for blood pressure measurement and for chest x-ray examination, whereas the rates for cancer screening were between 30-40%. As for the opportunity of the former two examinations, the workplace mass examination played a large role in the case of the city and town groups (especially among men but not women) in addition to visit to clinics, in contrast to the case of the village group in which people depended much on regional mass examination service. The trend was essentially reproducible in stomach cancer screening although the over-all coverage rate was low, whereas women in the three groups almost exclusively utilized clinics for cervical cancer screening with one exception that the mobile unit service appeared to be equally accepted in the village group.

Abstract
This case report deals with transverse sinus thrombosis accompanied by intracerebellar hemorrhage. A 33-year-old woman had sudden onset of headache, vomiting, and disturbance of consciousness. Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed left intracerebellar hematoma, while vertebral angiography revealed no visualization of the transverse sinus and cerebellar cortical veins on the left side. Evacuation of the intracerebellar hematoma along with decompression of the posterior fossa was carried out. Findings of the histopathological examination of the operation specimen showed the cortical veins to be filled with fresh thrombus and softened cerebellar parenchyma mixed with many small clots. Until now, cases such as hemorrhagic infarction in the cerebellum, due to transverse sinus thrombosis have not yet been reported. It is considered that there is much more collateral circulation in the infratentorial region rather than in the supratentorial region. This indicates that cerebellum hemorrhagic infarction rarely occurs due to transverse sinus thrombosis. In our case, the inflammation of the cortical veins (thrombophlebitis) was thought to have disturbed the collateral circulation in the cerebellum.

Abstract
The nucleoprotein (NP) antigen isolated from influenza A virus by solubilization with Triton X-100 (TX-100) and further electrophoresis with SDS-cellulose acetate membrane gave a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Rabbit anti-serum hyperimmunized with the NP reacted only against the NP antigen. Moreover, a well-defined single precipitin line was shown between the NP and human sera. These results suggested that the NP was possible to detect anti-NP antibody in human serum. Immuno double diffusion (IDD) and single radial immunodiffusion (SRD) tests using the NP were established to detect the anti-NP antibody in human sera. During an epidemic caused by antigenic drift strain, anti-NP antibody was detected by the IDD test in the cases which did not show any significant rise in HAI titer. During a mixed epidemic caused by the different strain of HA antigen, the infection ratio in mass population was revealed more convenient and sensitive by SRD than HAI. The anti-NP antibody was detected by IDD for long periods of one year or more after infection. These results suggest that the detection of anti-NP antibody is applicable to serologic studies, particularly serologic diagnosis and serologic surveys of influenza infection in mass population.
