Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding patient preference regarding taking tablet or capsule formulations plays a pivotal role in treatment efficacy and adherence. Therefore, these preferences should be taken into account when designing formulations and prescriptions. OBJECTIVE This study investigates the factors affecting patient preference in patients who have difficulties swallowing large tablets or capsules and aims to identify appropriate sizes for tablets and capsules. METHODS A robust data set was developed based on a questionnaire survey conducted from December 1, 2022, to December 7, 2022, using the harmo smartphone app operated by harmo Co, Ltd. The data set included patient input regarding their tablet and capsule preferences, personal health records (including dispensing history), and drug formulation information (available from package inserts). Based on the medication formulation information, 6 indices were set for each of the tablets or capsules that were considered difficult to swallow owing to their large size and concomitant tablets or capsules (used as controls). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the performance of each index. The index demonstrating the highest area under the curve of the ROC was selected as the best index to determine the tablet or capsule size that leads to swallowing difficulties. From the generated ROCs, the point with the highest discriminative performance that maximized the Youden index was identified, and the optimal threshold for each index was calculated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors contributing to difficulty in swallowing oversized tablets or capsules. Additionally, decision tree analysis was performed to estimate the combined risk from several factors, using risk factors that were significant in the multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS This study analyzed 147 large tablets or capsules and 624 control tablets or capsules. The "long diameter + short diameter + thickness" index (with a 21.5 mm threshold) was identified as the best indicator for causing swallowing difficulties in patients. The multivariate logistic regression analysis (including 132 patients with swallowing difficulties and 1283 patients without) results identified the following contributory risk factors: aged <50 years (odds ratio [OR] 1.59, 95% CI 1.03-2.44), female (OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.70-3.78), dysphagia (OR 3.54, 95% CI 2.22-5.65), and taking large tablets or capsules (OR 9.74, 95% CI 5.19-18.29). The decision tree analysis results suggested an elevated risk of swallowing difficulties for patients with taking large tablets or capsules. CONCLUSIONS This study identified the most appropriate index and threshold for indicating that a given tablet or capsule size will cause swallowing difficulties, as well as the contributory risk factors. Although some sampling biases (eg, only including smartphone users) may exist, our results can guide the design of patient-friendly formulations and prescriptions, promoting better medication adherence.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the efficacy of using the central venous (CV) port compared with peripheral intravenous access for contrast-material injection for contrast enhancement during the portal venous phase. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients were divided into three groups: CV delay, CV routine, and peripheral access (PA) groups. Patients in the CV delay group underwent injection in the arm-down position with an additional delay, while those in the CV routine and PA groups underwent injections with the routine injection protocol for portal venous phase imaging. Contrast enhancement was evaluated by measuring the mean radiodensity (Hounsfield units) values for the aortic arch, abdominal aorta, inferior vena cava, portal vein, and spleen. The peak injection pressure was recorded and compared among the three groups. RESULTS No complications related to power injection were observed during 119 contrast-material injections performed using the CV port device. The CV delay group showed significantly lower radiodensity values than the PA group (165.7 ± 20.1 versus 181 ± 19 HU [p<0.01] for the portal vein); however, no significant differences in mean radiodensity values were observed between the CV routine and PA groups (p>0.05). The median peak injection pressure was 73.5, 67, and 47 psi in the CV delay, CV routine, and PA groups, respectively (p<0.01). CONCLUSION The CV port can be used for safe contrast-material injection while maintaining contrast enhancement on portal venous phase comparable to that achieved with peripheral intravenous access.

Abstract
Information on circulating levels of insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) in female domesticated animals is limited, as their concentrations are significantly lower than in males. The objectives of the present study were to 1) develop a sandwich time-resolved fluorescence immunoassay (TRFIA) with higher detectability to measure blood INSL3 concentrations in female cattle, 2) determine INSL3 concentrations in female cattle among age groups and reproductive conditions, and 3) explore associations between INSL3 levels and ultrasonographic ovarian measurements. Blood was collected repeatedly from Japanese Black beef female calves (n = 12; 0-8 mo), heifers (n = 10; 10-26 mo), and cows (n = 20; 27-200 mo). Blood was taken from the cows (n = 13) at follicular, post-ovulatory, and luteal phases, and from cows with follicular cysts (n = 12). Ultrasonography of ovaries was conducted in the calves (n = 12) and the cows without ovarian diseases (n = 9). The ovarian area, as well as the number and diameters of antral follicles ≥ 2 mm, were determined in each ovary. The proposed method detected a difference in plasma INSL3 between calves (0.01 ng/mL) and heifers (0.18 ng/mL). However, the conventional assay showed similar levels for calves and heifers (1.82 vs 2.07 ng/mL). Plasma INSL3 and testosterone concentrations increased from calves to heifers (P < 0.0001), but only INSL3 rose from heifers to cows (P < 0.0001). INSL3 and testosterone concentrations did not change across the estrus cycle in cows, and the levels of both hormones in follicular cystic cows did not differ from those in the follicular phase. Ovarian area, maximal and average follicular diameters, and total volume of all follicles per animal were higher in cows than calves (P < 0.001). Plasma INSL3 concentrations correlated positively with the total volumes of all follicles in calves (P < 0.05) and cows (P < 0.05), whereas testosterone concentrations did not correlate with ovarian follicular measurements. In conclusion, plasma INSL3 concentrations measured by the proposed sandwich TRFIA showed a clear increase from female calves to cows in beef cattle. These results suggest that circulating levels of INSL3, but not of testosterone, are associated with the total volume of all antral follicles in both ovaries per animal in female cattle.

Abstract
Gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), a marker of liver disease, has been shown to be associated with increased risk of diabetes and relative insulin secretion deficiency. However, the mechanism of hepatic Ggt regulation has not been explored fully. In this study, we made a concerted effort to understand the mechanism by investigating the effects of acetylation of histones H3 and H4, and bindings of histone acetyltransferases, CREB binding protein (CBP) and p300, at the Ggt promoter on the regulation of the expression of Ggt gene in the livers of streptozotocin (STZ)-induced moderate hypoinsulinemia rat model. The rats treated with STZ showed remarkably higher serum GGT level and hepatic Ggt/GGT expression than the untreated control rats. Furthermore, the acetylation of histones H3 and H4, and the binding of CBP not p300 at the Ggt promoter regions were significantly higher in the livers of STZ rats than those of the control rats. These results suggest that an enhanced hepatic expression of Ggt is associated with increased acetylation of histones H3 and H4 and CBP binding at the Ggt promoter in STZ-induced moderate hypoinsulinemic rats.

Abstract
Abstract
Background—The changes in cardiac function that occur after pericardiocentesis are unclear.Purpose—This study was performed to assess right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) function with echocardiography before and after pericardiocentesis.
Method and Results—In total, 19 consecutive patients who underwent pericardiocentesis for more than moderate pericardial effusion were prospectively enrolled from August 2015 to October 2017. Comprehensive transthoracic echocardiography was performed before, immediately after (within 3 hours), and 1 day after pericardiocentesis to investigate the changes in RV and LV function. RV dysfunction is defined as meeting three of the four criteria: a TAPSE of <17 mm, an S’ of <9.5 cm, an FAC of <35%, and an RV free wall longitudinal strain >−20%. The mean age of all patients was 72.6 ± 12.2 years. The changes of echocardiographic parameters related to RV function are shown in Table. After pericardiocentesis, RV inflow and outflow diameters increased and the parameters of RV function significantly decreased. These abnormal values or RV dysfunction remained at 1 day after pericardiocentesis. Conversely, no parameters of LV function parameters changed after pericardiocentesis. Of 19 patients, 13 patients showed RV dysfunction immediately after pericardiocentesis and 6 patients did not. RV free wall longitudinal strain before pericardiocentesis was higher in patients with post-procedural RV dysfunction (−18.9 ± 3.6%) than in those without (−28.4 ± 6.3%). ROC analysis revealed that a RV free wall longitudinal strain cut-off value of −23.0% had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 83.3% for predicting the occurrence of RV dysfunction after pericardiocentesis (AUC = 0.910).
Conclusions—The occurrence of RV dysfunction after pericardiocentesis should be given more attention. Pre-existing RV dysfunction maybe related to the occurrence of RV dysfunction after pericardiocentesis.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Whereas fenestration at Fontan operation was reported to be effective for smooth initiation to Fontan circulation, subsequently developed aortopulmonary collateral arteries under the presence of remaining hypoxia were a matter of concern.So as our institutional policy, it is closed as much and early as possible (temporary fenestration). This study aimed to reveal long-term outcomes for patients at riskswho underwent Fontan operation with temporary fenestration.
Methods
Of 107 patients undergoing Fontan operation from 1995 to 2004, 79 patients (73.8%) were free from any risks (NR group) and 28 patients (26.2%) had risks for Fontan operation (R group). Hypoplastic left heart syndrome, heterotaxy syndrome with obstructive total anomalous of pulmonary venous connection, and individual cases with high preoperative pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), systemic ventricular end diastolic pressure (SVEDP) or low ejection fraction (SVEF) were defined as a risk for Fontan completion.Age at Fontan operation was older in R group (6.6 vs 2.3years-old, p = 0.0004). Preoperative PAP (12.8 vs 11.3mmHg, p = 0.03) and SVEDP (8.8 vs 7.1mmHg, p = 0.02) were higher and SVEF (53.7 vs 60.0%, p = 0.002) was lower in R group. Pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was not different. Fenestration was created in all patients in R group, then it was closed at the mean duration of 2.9 years after Fontan operation.
Results
Freedom from death or protein-losing enteropathy rate at 5, 10, and 15 years after Fontan operation were 97, 96, and 93% in NR group and 96, 93, and 86% in R group (log-rank: p = 0.20). Fifty-one patients (64.6%) in NR group and 17 patients (60.7%) in R group underwent serial catheter examinations at 5, 10, and 15 years after Fontan operation and exercise capacity testing at 15 years after Fontan operation (Figure). In R group, arterial oxygen saturation was lower and PVR was higher even after close of fenestration (Figure). In addition, 12 patients (71%) in R group developed significant veno-venous collaterals, which were defined by more than 3mm in diameter of collateral veins or a condition where pulmonary veins were contrasted in venography. On the contrary, cardiac index (CI), SVEDP, and PAP were not different and no significant difference on peak oxygen uptake and anaerobic threshold were observed between in 2 groups.
Conclusions
Although the mild cyanosis remained due to the development of veno-venous collaterals after the closure of temporary fenestration, CI, SVEDP and PAP well maintained in patients at risk for Fontan operation. These results might to lead acceptable life prognosis and freedom fromprotein-losing enteropathy rate for patients at risk for Fontan operation.

Abstract
High levels of fructose induce hypertriglyceridemia, characterized by excessive levels of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins such as very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL); however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The aim of this short communication was to examine hepatic changes in the expression of genes related to cholesterol metabolism in rats with hypertriglyceridemia induced by high-fructose or high-glucose diets. Rats were fed a 65 % (w/w) glucose diet or a 65 % (w/w) fructose diet for 12 days. Serum levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol, and VLDL+LDL-cholesterol, hepatic levels of triglycerides and cholesterol, and ACAT2 expression at the gene and protein levels were significantly higher in the fructose diet group compared to the glucose diet group. The hepatic levels of Abcg5/8 were lower in the fructose group than in the glucose group. Serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and hepatic expression levels of Hmgcr, Ldlr, Acat1, Mttp, Apob, and Cyp7a1 did not differ significantly between groups. These findings suggest that high-fructose diet-induced hypertriglyceridemia is associated with increased hepatic ACAT2 expression.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Recent evidences have demonstrated that coagulation pathway is involved in cardiovascular remodeling induced by renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which finally leads to heart failure. Protease activated receptor-1 (PAR-1) is widely expressed in the vasculature and the heart, and plays important roles in pro-inflammatory process in the cardiovascular system. Recently, we demonstrated that the activity of factor Xa (FXa), which functions not only as a coagulation factor but as an agonist for PAR-1, was enhanced in renin-overexpressing hypertensive mice (Ren-Tg).
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether inhibition of PAR-1 signaling has protective effects on the progression of heart failure induced by chronic RAS activation in Ren-Tg.
Methods and results
We treated 12–16 weeks-old male wild type mice (WT) and Ren-Tg with continuous subcutaneous infusion of PAR-1 antagonist SCH79797 (25mg/kg/day) or vehicle for 4 weeks. After treatment period, left ventricular (LV) wall thickness calculated as interventricular septum plus posterior wall thickness measured by echocardiography was greater in Ren-Tg than in WT (0.25±0.003 versus 0.18±0.002 mm), and SCH79797 attenuated the increase to 0.22±0.01 mm in Ren-Tg (both p<0.05, respectively). The ratio of heart weight to body weight was greater in Ren-Tg than in WT (6.1±0.4 versus 4.6±0.7 mg/g), and SCH79797 attenuated the increase to 5.2±0.1 mg/g (both p<0.05). The area of cardiac fibrosis evaluated by Masson-trichrome staining was greater in Ren-Tg than in WT (2.6±0.2 versus 1.4±0.3%), and SCH79797 attenuated it to 1.6±0.3% in Ren-Tg (both p<0.05). Cardiac mRNA expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α, transforming growth factor-β1, and β-myosin heavy chain were all greater in Ren-Tg than in WT, and SCH79797 attenuated the increases in Ren-Tg (all p<0.05).
Conclusions
Inhibition of PAR-1 signaling attenuates cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in Ren-Tg via inhibition of inflammatory cytokines production. These results support the involvement of PAR signaling in the development of heart failure induced by RAS, and may provide novel therapeutic insights for the treatment of hypertensive heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Condyloma acuminatum (CA) is a common sexually transmitted disease associated with human papilloma virus (HPV). CA occurring in the urethra is rare and has not been reported in male renal transplant recipients. In addition, despite immunosuppressive conditions and increased risk of HPV-related malignant neoplasms in transplant recipients, HPV testing in male transplant recipients has been uncommon. Here we report a case of urethral CA in a male deceased donor renal transplantation recipient and discuss the importance of HPV testing in male transplant recipients. CASE PRESENTATION A 33-year-old male deceased donor renal transplant recipient presented with miction pain 5 years after the transplantation. He reported repeated urinary tract infections with no sexual contact since the renal transplantation. Multiple papillary tumors in his penile urethra were detected by cystoscopy, and a biopsy sample was pathologically diagnosed with CA. Transurethral tumor resection was performed, and the tumors were completely resected. Additional HPV risk type screening with a urethral smear sample showed the prevalence of low-risk HPV. Although tacrolimus was switched to everolimus and imiquimod cream was administered, the tumors recurred 6 months after the resection, and a second resection was performed. No further recurrence has been observed for 1 year to date. CONCLUSION As the urethral CA was possibly related to immunosuppressive conditions and a risk for HPV-related malignant neoplasm, the case required careful diagnosis, including HPV risk type. The methodology of sampling for HPV testing in men has not been established. This case suggests the necessity for further discussion about HPV testing in male transplant recipients.

Abstract
To isolate a large number of porcine hepatocytes, we originally developed a mass preparation method that combined the usual collagenase perfusion method of a whole liver with a collagenase redigestion method of tissue fragments after liver perfusion. Using a pig of 10kg, collagenase perfusion only resulted in a yield of 63 ± 78 x 108 total cells with a viability of 69.2 ± 25.3 %, but our combined method had a yield of 167 ± 31 x 108 total cells with a viability of 87.9 ± 4.4 % (mean ± SD). Also, the combined method was applied to two pigs of 10kg body weight at the same time, and isolated 387 ± 89 x 108 hepatocytes with a viability of 87.1 ± 6.9 % and a purity of 93.6 ± 2.8 % in 11 experiments. We designed a large multi-capillary polyurethane foam (MC-PUF) packed-bed module containing 1 x 1010 porcine hepatocytes on a clinical trial scale. The porcine hepatocytes in the module formed spherical multicellular aggregates (spheroids) of 200 – 500 μm diameter. Most hepatocytes forming spheroids were viable judged by fluorescein diacetate and ethidium bromide staining. The activities of ammonia removal, albumin secretion and oxygen consumption of the large MC-PUF module were the same as for a small MC-PUF module containing 2 x 108 porcine hepatocytes, and were maintained for at least 9 days of culture. These results show that a large MC-PUF module is successfully scaled up 50 times. In conclusion, we succeeded in developing a mass preparation method of porcine hepatocytes and a large hybrid artificial liver module on a clinical trial scale.

Abstract
Primary dog hepatocytes spontaneously formed spheroids in the pores of polyurethane foam (PUF) within 1–2 days of stationary culture. The spheroids, about 100–150 μm in diameter, partly attached to the surface and immobilized inside these pores. The lidocaine disappearance rate decreased to about 4 μg/105 viable cells/day for 10 days, while in the PUF/spheroid culture the rate was maintained at almost the initial level of 8 μg/105 viable cells/day for 10 days. Then, two scales of PUF packed-bed modules were designed. A small module (PUF volume; 14.5 cm3) was used for in vitro culture to investigate optimum culture conditions, and a large module (PUF volume; 300 cm3) was designed for dog experiments. Hepatocytes inoculated in these modules also formed spheroids and maintained almost the same activity of albumin secretion rate (111 μg/cm3 PUF/day in the small module and 87.7 μg/cm3 PUF/day in the large module). These results indicate that the PUF packed-bed module containing hepatocyte-spheroids is promising as a hybrid artificial liver

Abstract
Nafamostat mesilate (FUT) is a protease inhibitor of complement activation. The present study investigates whether FUT protects porcine hepatocytes from being injured by human plasma in a multi-capillary polyurethane foam packed-bed culture system (MC-PUF) such as the hybrid-artificial liver (PUF-HAL). Human plasmas with 1 mM of added ammonia were perfused using a small-scale PUF-HAL with porcine hepatocytes. FUT was continuously infused (10 μ g/ml, 50 μ g/ml,). The ammonia detoxification was maintained in human plasma for 24 hours and for 48 hours with FUT which suppressed the rapid increase of asparaginic acid aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). After 60 hours of perfusion, hepatocyte spheroids completely collapsed in the human plasma, but a small amount of hepatocyte spheroid was maintained by FUT. The effect of FUT was slightly greater at 50 μ g/ml than at 10 μ g/ml. Our results suggest that FUT has protective effects against porcine hepatocytes in human plasma, and our PUF-HAL using porcine hepatocytes can function in human plasma for about 48 hours with FUT.

Abstract
We studied the effects of a hybrid artificial liver support system we developed on dogs with hepatic failure. The system consisted of a multi-channel polyurethane foam packed-bed culture module, including primary dog hepatocyte spheroids. Blood ammonia was well metabolized by 20 g hepatocytes, but the other functions such as glucose concentration, total bile acid concentration, and survival time required 30 g hepatocytes to improve conditions. We found that we should use a culture substratum that easily forms spheroids, and that an artificial liver module should be used as soon as possible after spheroid formation by hepatocytes in the module.

Abstract
Abstract
A brief background discussion.
Nanoparticle albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) has been developed under the concept of improved drug delivery. nab-PTX has been shown to significantly increase progression-free survival compared with solvent-based paclitaxel (PTX) in metastatic breast cancer. However, the long-term outcomes of nab-PTX induced peripheral neuropathy (nPIPN) have not yet been fully elucidated.
Trial design: observational cohort study (UMIN20852)
Primary objective: The long-term outcome of nPIPN
Secondary objectives
(1)The validity of the Neuropathic Pain Screening Questionnaire (Japan–Q, Ishikawa et al. Pain Research 2016 )
(2) To evaluate the effect of frozen gloves and elastic stockings for nPIPN
nPIPN was assessed by the Japan-Q (J-Q) and Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events ver 4.0 (CTC). The J-Q is an assessment tool for patient-reported pain severity, which consists of seven items, each rated on a five-point scale 0-4; grade 0 (no symptoms) to grade 4 (verysevere symptoms). Pricking pain, electric shock pain, burn like pain, tingling pain with numbness, allodynia, reduced or hyper sensitivity and hand-foot syndrome. Assessment was performed every day during chemotherapy, six months and one year after completion of nab-PTX therapy. Total of 28 points for each day and 588 points for each cycle, higher point correlates with severity. Frozen gloves during administration of nab-PTX and/or elastic stockings were optionally used.
Statistical methods
Kruskal Wallis test was used and p<0.05 was considered as significant.
RESULTS:
Between May 2013, and April 2016, 105 patients were enrolled from 7 hospitals. In 73 patients (69.5%) nab-PTX was administered as primary and in 32 patients (30.5%) as adjuvant therapy. Forty three (41.0%) patients received nab-PTX as first line and 62 (59.0%) received after anthracycline contained regimen. Trastuzumab was administered as combination therapy with nab-PTX for Her2 positive patients. Both frozen gloves and stockings were used in 21 patients (20.0%) and frozen gloves only were used in 21 patients (20.0%) according to patient preference.
One hundred patients (95.2%) completed four courses, and overall relative dose intensity was 91.4%.
During chemotherapy, J-Q scores go elevated from day 1 to day 5 and gradually declined throughout the rest of the cycle. Without using frozen gloves, there was a significant increase according to courses (1st: 45.0 ± 5.7, 2nd: 76.7 ± 8.6, 3rd: 94.3 ± 11.8, 4th: 95.4 ± 11.8). Using frozen gloves, there was a significant increase from 1st course to 2nd, but no further increase was observed(1st: 37.4 ± 8.1, 2nd: 61.9 ± 12.4, 3rd: 62.9 ± 10.4, 4th: 55.3 ± 10.6). After six month and one year, the scores were significantly lower compared with the last day of the fourth cycle (4.28 ± 0.50, 2.53 ± 0.25, 2.85 ± 0.39, respectively). CTC, grade 2 or more sensory disturbance was observed in 57.9% after four cycles, but improved to 9.5% and 5.4% after six month and one year respectively.
CONCLUSIONS:
Patient-reported nPIPN was significantly getting worse without frozen gloves during chemotherapy, however be largely reversible within 1 year of PST or adjuvant treatment. The J-Q findings support that nab-PTX treatment is tolerable.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We hypothesized that, compared with propofol, desflurane prolongs the antegrade accessory pathway effective refractory period (APERP) in children undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation for Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. METHODS In this randomized crossover study, children aged 4.1-16.1 years undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation for WPW syndrome were randomly divided into four groups according to the concentration of desflurane and anesthetics used in the first and the second electrophysiological studies (EPS). After induction of general anesthesia with propofol and tracheal intubation, they received one of the following regimens: 0.5 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) desflurane (first EPS) and propofol (second EPS) (Des0.5-Prop group, n = 8); propofol (first EPS) and 0.5 MAC desflurane (second EPS) (Prop-Des0.5 group, n = 9); 1 MAC desflurane (first EPS) and propofol (second EPS) (Des1.0-Prop group, n = 10); propofol (first EPS) and 1 MAC desflurane (second EPS) (Prop-Des1.0 group, n = 9). Radiofrequency catheter ablation was performed upon completion of EPS. Sample size was determined to detect a difference in the APERP. RESULTS Desflurane at 1.0 MAC significantly prolonged the APERP compared with propofol, but did not affect the sinoatrial conduction time, atrio-His interval or atrioventricular node effective refractory period. Supraventricular tachycardia was induced in all children receiving propofol, but not induced in 1 and 4 children receiving 0.5 MAC and 1.0 MAC desflurane, respectively. CONCLUSION Desflurane enhances the refractoriness and may block the electrical conduction of the atrioventricular accessory pathway, and is therefore not suitable for use in children undergoing radiofrequency catheter ablation for WPW syndrome.

Abstract
To clarify the quality of life of patients who underwent esophagectomy for carcinoma by right thoracotomy, laparotomy and cervical anastomosis, 116 patients who were cancer free at the time of mailing a questionnaire were analyzed. A significant decrease in vital capacity for 3 years postoperatively, as well as in the percentage of ideal body weight, between 3 and 5 years were observed in 57 patients with three-field lymphadenectomy. Patients' quality of life undergoing three-field dissection was worse than those with less radical lymphadenectomy (59 cases) in terms of the performance status and difficulty in talking at 60 months or more postoperatively. Around 20% of all patients reported severe hoarseness due to permanent recurrent nerve paralysis, resulting in poor quantity of food intake at 24 months or less postoperatively and restricted daily activity and difficulty in talking at 60 months or more after the operation. When a patient suffers from vocal cord insufficiency caused by permanent paralysis of the recurrent nerve, early treatment before discharge from the hospital should be performed to improve the quality of life of such a patient.

Abstract
To determine whether maximum bite force (MBF), an objective measure of oral function, is associated with development of frailty in community-dwelling older adults. This prospective cohort study included community-dwelling Japanese adults aged 75 years at baseline (n = 322). Baseline MBF was measured using an electronic recording device (Occlusal Force-Meter GM10). Follow-up examinations, including physical fitness and anthropometric evaluation and structured questionnaires, were administered annually over a 5-year period to determine the incidence of frailty, which was defined by the presence of 3 or more of the following 5 components derived from the Cardiovascular Health Study: low level of mobility, low physical activity level, weakness, shrinking and poor endurance and energy. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of incidence of frailty according to sex-stratified tertiles of baseline MBF were calculated using Cox proportional hazards regression models. During the follow-up, 49 participants (15.2%) developed frailty. Participants in the lower tertile of MBF exhibited a significantly greater risk of frailty than those in the upper tertile. After adjustment for sex, depression, diabetes and Eichner index, the adjusted HRs for frailty in the upper through lower tertiles of MBF were 1.00 (reference), 1.27 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.50-3.20) and 2.78 (95% CI: 1.15-6.72), respectively (P for trend = .01). Poor oral function, as indicated by low MBF, increases the risk of development of frailty among elderly men and women.
