Abstract
Objective: Magnesium oxide is widely used for treating opioid-induced constipation, a serious analgesic-associated problem. Opioid analgesic users are often prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which are sometimes combined with acid suppressants to prevent gastrointestinal adverse events. Magnesium preparations combined with acid suppressants may diminish magnesium preparations' laxative effect. This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of magnesium preparations combined with acid suppressants on the incidence of opioid-induced constipation by using the Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System. Methods: Adverse events were defined per the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities; the term 'constipation (preferred term code: 10010774)' was used for analysis. After adjusting for patient background factors using propensity score matching, acid suppressants' effect on constipation incidence was evaluated in opioid users prescribed magnesium preparations alone as laxatives by using a test for independence. Key Findings: The Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System contains 14,475,614 reports for January 2004 to December 2021. Significantly increased constipation incidence was related to magnesium preparations combined with acid suppressants, especially proton pump inhibitors (P < 0.0001, McNemar's test). Conclusion: Magnesium preparations combined with acid suppressants may diminish magnesium preparations' laxative effect; healthcare professionals should pay attention to this issue.

Abstract
The effects of exercise on mechanical hyperalgesia, joint contracture, and muscle injury resulting from immobilization are not completely understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of cyclic stretching on these parameters in a rat model of chronic post-cast pain (CPCP). Seventeen 8-week-old Wistar rats were randomly assigned to (1) control group, (2) immobilization (CPCP) group, or (3) immobilization and stretching exercise (CPCP+STR) group. In the CPCP and CPCP+STR groups, both hindlimbs of each rat were immobilized in full plantar flexion with a plaster cast for a 4-week period. In the CPCP+STR group, cyclic stretching exercise was performed 6 days/week for 2 weeks, beginning immediately after cast removal prior to reloading. Although mechanical hyperalgesia in the plantar skin and calf muscle, ankle joint contracture, and gastrocnemius muscle injury were observed in both immobilized groups, these changes were significantly less severe in the CPCP+STR group than in the CPCP group. These results clearly demonstrate the beneficial effect of cyclic stretching exercises on widespread mechanical hyperalgesia, joint contracture, and muscle injury in a rat model of CPCP.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The diagnostic performance of 0-hour/1-hour algorithm using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hsTnI) for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) has not been evaluated in an Asian population.
Purpose
We aimed to prospectively validate the 0-hour/1-hour algorithm using hsTnI in a Japanese population.
Method
We enrolled 754 Japanese patients (mean age of 70 years, 395 men) presenting to our emergency department with symptoms suggestive of NSTEMI. The hsTnI concentration was measured using the Siemens ADVIA Centaur hsTnI assay at presentation and after 1 hour. Patients were divided into three groups according to the algorithm: hsTnI below 3 ng/L (only applicable if chest pain onset >3 hours) or below 6 ng/L and delta 1 hour below 3 ng/L were the “rule-out” group; hsTnI at least 120 ng/L or delta 1 hour at least 12 ng/L were in the “rule-in” group; the remaining patients were classified as the “observe” group. Based on the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction, the final diagnosis was adjudicated by 2 independent cardiologists using all available information, including coronary angiography, coronary computed tomography, and follow-up data. Safety of rule-out was quantified by the negative predictive value (NPV) for NSTEMI, accuracy of rule-in by the positive predictive value (PPV), and overall efficacy by the proportion of patients triaged towards rule-out or rule-in within 1 hour.
Results
Prevalence of NSTEMI was 6.5%. The safety of rule-out (NPV 100%), accuracy of rule-in (PPV 26%), and overall efficacy (54%) were shown in Figure.
Conclusion
The 0-hour/1-hour algorithm using hsTnI is very safe and effective in triaging Japanese patients with suspected NSTEMI.

Abstract
Ultrafast photoinduced transitions of a one-dimensional Mott insulator into two distinct electronic phases, metal and charge-density-wave (CDW) state, were achieved in a bromine-bridged Pd-chain compound [Pd(en)2Br](C5-Y)2H2O (en=ethylenediamine and C5-Y=dialkylsulfosuccinate), by selecting the photon energy of a femtosecond excitation pulse. For the resonant excitation of the Mott-gap transition, excitonic states are generated and converted to one-dimensional CDW domains. For the higher-energy excitation, free electron and hole carriers are produced, giving rise to a transition of the Mott insulator to a metal. Such selectivity in photoconversions by the choice of initial photoexcited states opens a new possibility for the developments of advanced optical switching and memory functions.

Abstract
The vitamin A (VA) metabolite retinoic acid (RA) affects the properties of T cells and dendritic cells (DCs). In VA-deficient mice, we observed that mesenteric lymph node (MLN)-DCs induce a distinct inflammatory T helper type 2 (Th2)-cell subset that particularly produces high levels of interleukin (IL)-13 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). This subset expressed homing receptors for skin and inflammatory sites, and was mainly induced by B220(-)CD8α(-)CD11b(+)CD103(-) MLN-DCs in an IL-6- and OX40 ligand-dependent manner, whereas RA inhibited this induction. The corresponding MLN-DC subset of VA-sufficient mice induced a similar T-cell subset in the presence of RA receptor antagonists. IL-6 induced this subset differentiation from naive CD4(+) T cells upon activation with antibodies against CD3 and CD28. Transforming growth factor-β inhibited this induction, and reciprocally enhanced Th17 induction. Treatment with an agonistic anti-OX40 antibody and normal MLN-DCs enhanced the induction of general inflammatory Th2 cells. In VA-deficient mice, proximal colon epithelial cells produced TNF-α that may have enhanced OX40 ligand expression in MLN-DCs. The repeated oral administrations of a T cell-dependent antigen primed VA-deficient mice for IL-13-dependent strong immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) responses and IgE responses that caused skin allergy. These results suggest that RA inhibits allergic responses to oral antigens by preventing MLN-DCs from inducing IL-13-producing inflammatory Th2 cells.

Abstract
The information on the stability of medications is important to secure their quality. There is, however, little information about the stability of medications which assume to be kept by patients and customers. We previously showed that a delay in drug release occurs in some over-the-counter (OTC) drugs following storage in a high temperature, high humidity environment. In this study we prepared model tablet formulations containing an active ingredient and excipients to investigate the cause of this delayed release. The results reveal that delayed release occurs in preparations compounded with acetaminophen (AA) as the active ingredient and erythritol (ET) and crospovidone (CP) as excipients. In addition, ET deliquesces in a high humidity environment, then incorporates other particles during room temperature storage to form an aggregate. SEM observations and micropore distribution measurements conducted on OTC tablets that exhibit delayed release revealed that the number of intraparticle pores decreased after storage under high temperature, high humidity conditions. Thus, the delayed release by these pharmaceutical product formulations may be due to a change in the micropore structure both on the surface and within the particles, thereby decreasing the solvent infiltration pathways leading to the interior of the preparation.

Abstract
Chronic periodontitis is a silent infectious disease prevalent worldwide and affects lifestyle-related diseases. Therefore, efficient screening of patients is essential for general health. This study was performed to evaluate prospectively the diagnostic utility of a blood IgG antibody titer test against periodontal pathogens. Oral examination was performed, and IgG titers against periodontal pathogens were measured by ELISA in 1,387 individuals. The cut-off value of the IgG titer was determined in receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and changes in periodontal clinical parameters and IgG titers by periodontal treatment were evaluated. The relationships between IgG titers and severity of periodontitis were analyzed. The best cut-off value of IgG titer against Porphyromonas gingivalis for screening periodontitis was 1.682. Both clinical parameters and IgG titers decreased significantly under periodontal treatment. IgG titers of periodontitis patients were significantly higher than those of healthy controls, especially in those with sites of probing pocket depth over 4 mm. Multiplied cut-off values were useful to select patients with severe periodontitis. A blood IgG antibody titer test for Porphyromonas gingivalis is useful to screen hitherto chronic periodontitis patients (ClinicalTrials.gov number NCT01658475).

Abstract
In this study, we investigated whether previously stressed rats with learned helplessness (LH) paradigm could recover from depressive-like behavior four weeks after the exposure, and also whether chronic treatment with valproic acid (VPA) could prevent behavioral despair due to the second stress on days 54 in these animals. Four weeks after induction of LH, we confirmed behavioral remission in the previously stressed rats. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) performed with two factors, pretreatment (LH or Control) and drug (VPA or Saline), revealed a significant main effect of the drug on immobility time in forced swimming test. Post hoc test showed a shorter immobility time in the LH+VPA group than in the LH+Saline group. Immunohistochemical study of synapsin I showed a significant effect of drug by pretreatment interaction on immunoreactivity of synapsin I in the hippocampus: its expression levels in the regions were higher in the LH+VPA group than in the LH+Saline group. These results suggest that VPA could prevent the reappearance of stress-induced depressive-like behaviors in the rats recovering from prior stress, and that the drug-induced presynaptic changes in the expression of synapsin I in the hippocampus of LH animals might be related to improved tolerance toward the stress.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Recently, rs10906115 in CDC123/CAMK1D, rs1359790 near SPRY2, rs1436955 in C2CD4A/C2CD4B and rs10751301 in ODZ4 were identified as genetic risk variants for type 2 diabetes by a genome-wide association study in a Chinese population. The aim of the present study was to ascertain the role of these four variants in conferring susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population. METHODS We genotyped 11,530 Japanese individuals (8,552 type 2 diabetes cases, 2,978 controls) for the above single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and used logistic regression analysis to determine whether they were associated with type 2 diabetes. RESULTS In accordance with the findings in a Chinese population, rs10906115 A, rs1359790 C and rs1436955 G were found to be risk alleles. Both rs10906115 and rs1359790 were significantly associated with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in our study (rs10906115 OR 1.15, 95% CI 1.08, 1.22; p = 6.10 × 10(-6); rs1359790 OR 1.14, 95% CI 1.06, 1.21; p = 2.24 × 10(-4)). Adjustment for age, sex and BMI had no significant effects on the association between these variants and the disease. We did not observe any significant associations between the SNPs and any metabolic traits, e.g. BMI, fasting plasma glucose (determined for 1,332 controls), HOMA of beta cell function (900 controls) and HOMA of insulin resistance (900 controls; p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION The SNPs rs10906115 A and rs1359790 C are significantly associated with susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in the Japanese population, confirming that these alleles are common susceptibility variants for type 2 diabetes in East Asian populations.

Abstract
WHAT IS KNOWN AND OBJECTIVE Montelukast, a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 antagonist, is safe and efficacious in patients with asthma. The mechanisms underlying the significant interpatient variability in response to montelukast are not clear but are believed to be, in part, because of genetic variability. METHODS To examine the associations between polymorphisms in candidate genes in the leukotriene pathway and outcomes in patients with asthma on montelukast for 4-8 weeks, we evaluated the changes in peak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1·0) ) and patients' subjective symptom before and after montelukast treatment. DNA was collected from 252 Japanese participants. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ALOX5 (rs2115819) and LTA4H (rs2660845) genes were successfully typed. There was no difference between members of the general population (n = 200) and patients (n = 52) in each genotype frequency. Significant associations were found between SNP genotypes in the LTA4H gene and changes in PEF and FEV(1·0) . The PEF and FEV(1·0) responses to montelukast in the A/A genotypes (n = 4) for the LTA4H SNP were significantly higher than those in the G allele carriers (A/G+G/G) (n = 17). WHAT IS NEW AND CONCLUSION Despite the small sample size, our results suggest that genetic variation in leukotriene pathway candidate genes contributes to variability in clinical responses to montelukast in Japanese patients with asthma.

Abstract
White petrolatums of Japanese Pharmacopoeia grade and Sun white marketed as a cosmetic were characterized by measuring their physical properties and drug-releasing characteristics. White petrolatums of Japanese Pharmacopoeia grade available commercially in Japan were Perfecta, White 1S, Ultima, Snow, Snow V and Regent (Propeto). Penetrating stress, shear stress and spreading properties were measured as physical properties of the white petrolatums. The physical properties of white petrolatums varied, and Regent was the softest and the most spreadable ointment base. In vitro release test was performed using flow-through Franz diffusion cells. Fluorescein isothiocyanate and tetracycline hydrochloride were used as drug models. Their release characteristics varied among the tested white petrolatums, and Regent had the best release properties. Among the white petrolatums, with the exception of Regent, the release properties should depend on the distribution of drugs between white petrolatum and the receiver solution. Considerations of usability and characteristics of theprincipal agent are needed when choosing white petrolatums.

Abstract
Post-synaptic density protein PSD-95 is emerging as a valid target for modulating nociception in animal studies. Based on the key role of PSD-95 in neuronal plasticity and the maintenance of pain behavior, we predicted that CN2097, a peptide-based macrocycle of nine residues that binds to the PSD-95 Discs large, Zona occludens 1 (PDZ) domains of PSD-95, would interfere with physiologic phenomena in the spinal cord related to central sensitization. Furthermore, we tested whether spinal intrathecal injection of CN2097 attenuates thermal hyperalgesia in a rat model of sciatic neuropathy. Results demonstrate that spinal CN2097 reverses hyperexcitability of wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons in the dorsal horn of neuropathic rats and decreases their evoked responses to peripheral stimuli (brush, low caliber von Frey and pressure), whereas CN5125 ("negative control") has no effect. CN2097 also blocks C-fiber long-term potentiation (LTP) in the dorsal horn, which is linked to neuronal plasticity and central sensitization. At a molecular level, CN2097 attenuates the increase in phosphorylated p38 MAPK, a key intracellular signaling pathway in neuropathic pain. Moreover, spinal injection of CN2097 blocks thermal hyperalgesia in neuropathic rats. We conclude that CN2097 is a small molecule peptide with putative anti-nociceptive effects that modulates physiologic phenomena related to central sensitization under conditions of chronic pain.

Abstract
We investigated the enhancement of the solubility of glimepiride (GLM), a poorly water soluble anti-diabetes drug, by cogrinding it with various cyclodextrins (CDs) using a ball mill. The phase solubility profiles of GLM with beta-CD and its derivatives were classified as A(L)-type, indicating the formation of a 1 : 1 stoichiometric water-soluble complex. When GLM crystals were coground with beta-CD using a ball mill for 48 h, the aqueous solubility of GLM increased to approximately 250 microg/mL. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern showed that the peak intensity of crystalline GLM decreased after cogrinding. Endothermic peaks of around 208 degrees C, which were assigned to the fusion of GLM crystals, disappeared in the DSC measurement of the ground mixture. After cogrinding, two sharp peaks assigned to sulfonylurea and benzoyl carbonyl stretching bands varied to broaden the peak to around 1700 cm(-1) in the C=O stretching region. These results suggested the formation of a complex between GLM and beta-CD during cogrinding.

Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Tumefactive MS (TMS) is a subtype of MS characterized by solitary or multiple mass lesions with open-ring enhancement on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Three TMS cases, diagnosed histopathologically by brain biopsy, that were difficult to distinguish from brain tumors or brain abscesses on MRI are presented. On T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) the lesions were high intensity in the center and periphery, with open-ring contrast enhancement at the periphery; iso- to low intensity areas (“T2 low rim”) were seen in the surrounding region. Histopathological examination revealed the characteristic features of TMS: severe central demyelination and focal necrosis, peripheral neovascularization and perivascular inflammatory cell infiltration, and perifocal edema. On immunochemistry, both the endothelial cells of the neovasculature and the surrounding macrophages in the periphery expressed vascular endothelial growth factor and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, which mediate inflammation and angioneogenesis and increase vascular permeability. These findings correspond to the T2 low rim co-localizing with the site of gadolinium enhancement on MRI. Thus, the present study clearly demonstrates the correlation between the radiological features and the pathophysiological aspects of TMS, which may contribute to more precise diagnosis of TMS.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), an autocrine/paracrine growth factor involved in myogenesis, has rapid effects on muscle metabolism. In a manner analogous to insulin and mechanical stimuli such as stretch, IGF-I stimulates glucose transport through recruitment of glucose transporters to surface membranes in skeletal muscles. It is known that IGF-I is secreted from skeletal muscle cells in response to stretch. Therefore, we examined whether IGF-I is involved in the mechanism by which mechanical stretch regulates glucose transport using cultured C2C12 myotubes. IGF-I increased 2-deoxy- D-glucose (2-DG) uptake, and this created an additive effect with mechanical stretch, suggesting that these stimuli enhance glucose transport through different mechanisms. In fact, IGF-I-stimulated 2-DG uptake was not blocked by dantrolene (an inhibitor of Ca (2+)release from sarcoplasmic reticulum), whereas the stretch-stimulated effect was abolished. Conversely, the IGF-I-stimulated 2-DG uptake was prevented by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin, which did not prevent the stretch-stimulated 2-DG uptake. In addition, experiments using media conditioned by stretched myotubes indicated that a mechanically induced release of locally acting autocrine/paracrine growth factors was not sufficient for induction of 2-DG uptake. Thus, our results demonstrate that mechanical stretch signaling for glucose transport is independent of the mechanism through which IGF-I increases this transport.

Abstract
Proinflammatory cytokines are well-known to inhibit insulin signaling to result in insulin resistance. IL-1alpha is also one of the proinflammatory cytokines, but the mechanism of how IL-1alpha induces insulin resistance remains unclear. We have now examined the effects of IL-1alpha on insulin signaling in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Prolonged IL-1alpha treatment for 12 to 24 hours partially decreased the protein levels as well as the insulin-stimulated tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS-1 and Akt phosphorylation. mRNA for SOCS3, an endogenous inhibitor of insulin signaling, was dramatically augmented 4 hours after IL-1alpha treatment. Concomitantly, the level of IL-6 in the medium and STAT3 phosphorylation were increased by the prolonged IL-1alpha treatment. Addition of anti-IL-6 neutralizing antibody to the medium or overexpression of dominant-negative STAT3 decreased the IL-1alpha-stimulated STAT3 activation and SOCS3 induction, and ameliorated insulin signaling. These results suggest that the IL-1alpha-mediated deterioration of insulin signaling is largely due to the IL-6 production and SOCS3 induction in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Abstract
A 52-year-old male presented with right sudden deafness and left isolated limb sensory disturbance following posterior neck pain. An examination revealed a mild degree of right sensory neural hearing loss and decreased pain and thermal sensation in the left side below the L3 level. Brain MRI showed a small lesion in the midlateral portion of the right middle-rostral medulla. The combination of the image findings suggests a right lateral medullary infarction caused by a vertebral artery (VA) dissection. In our case, the fibers carrying the modalities of the lateral spinothalamic tract restricted to below the L3 level, sparing other sensations, suggest a selective involvement. This finding suggests that sensory dermatomal representation in the modality may be preserved at least up to the level of the medulla oblongata. Moreover, in our case, the small emboli originating from the dissected VA possibly caused a small selective cochlear infarction. This type of embolism may give rise to various combinations of symptoms depending on the branches involved. For patients with an acute onset of headache or neck pain who present with isolated limb sensory disturbance accompanied by sudden deafness, even without the classical brainstem signs, a VA dissection and medullary infarction should therefore be considered.
