Abstract
Dental enamel formation is coordinated by ameloblast differentiation, production of enamel matrix proteins, and crystal growth. The factors regulating ameloblast differentiation are not fully understood. Here we show that the high mobility group N (HMGN) nucleosomal binding proteins modulate the rate of ameloblast differentiation and enamel formation. We found that HMGN1 and HMGN2 proteins are downregulated during mouse ameloblast differentiation. Genetically altered mice lacking HMGN1 and HMGN2 proteins show faster ameloblast differentiation and a higher rate of enamel deposition in mice molars and incisors. In vitro differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells to dental epithelium cells showed that HMGN proteins modulate the expression and chromatin accessibility of ameloblast-specific genes and affect the binding of transcription factors epiprofin and PITX2 to ameloblast-specific genes. Our results suggest that HMGN proteins regulate ameloblast differentiation and enamel mineralization by modulating lineage-specific chromatin accessibility and transcription factor binding to ameloblast regulatory sites.

Abstract
AbstractSeveral studies have shown that infants anticipate human goal-directed actions, but not robot’s ones. However, the studies focusing on the robot goal-directed actions have mainly analyzed the effect of mechanical arms on infant’s attention. To date, the prediction of goal-directed actions in infants has not yet been studied when the agent is a humanoid robot. Given this lack of evidence in infancy research, the present study aims at analyzing infants’ action anticipation of both a human’s and a humanoid robot’s goal-directed action. Data were acquired on thirty 17-month-old infants, watching four video clips, where either a human or a humanoid robot performed a goal-directed action, i.e. reaching a target. Infants looking behavior was measured through the eye-tracking technique. The results showed that infants anticipated the goal-directed action of both the human and the robot and there were no differences in the anticipatory gaze behavior between the two agents. Furthermore, the findings indicated different attentional patterns for the human and the robot, showing a greater attention paid to the robot's face than the human’s face. Overall, the results suggest that 17-month-old infants may infer also humanoid robot’ underlying action goals.

Abstract
To explore diversity in cold hardiness mechanisms, high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to visualise freezing behaviours in wintering Daphne kamtschatica var. jezoensis flower buds, which have naked florets and no bud scales. MRI images showed that anthers remained stably supercooled to the range from -14 to -21°C or lower while most other tissues froze by -7°C. Freezing of some anthers detected in MRI images between -14 and -21°C corresponded with numerous low temperature exotherms and also with the 'all-or-nothing' type of anther injuries. In ovules/pistils, only embryo sacs remained supercooled at -7°C or lower, but slowly dehydrated during further cooling. Cryomicroscopic observation revealed ice formation in the cavities of calyx tubes and pistils but detected no ice in embryo sacs or in anthers. The distribution of ice nucleation activity in floral tissues corroborated the tissue freezing behaviours. Filaments likely work as the ice blocking barrier that prevents ice intrusion from extracellularly frozen calyx tubes to connecting unfrozen anthers. Unique freezing behaviours were demonstrated in Daphne flower buds: preferential freezing avoidance in male and female gametophytes and their surrounding tissues (by stable supercooling in anthers and by supercooling with slow dehydration in embryo sacs) while the remaining tissues tolerate extracellular freezing.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
There is abundant evidence linking long working hours among physicians with adverse health effects; however, most studies have focused on medical residents. In Japan, obstetrician/gynaecologists (OB/GYNs) work the longest hours, yet no studies have investigated potential relationships between excessive overtime and depression and suicidal ideation within this population.
Aims
To investigate the relationship between long working hours and depression and suicidal ideation among OB/GYNs in Japan.
Methods
We administered a survey questionnaire to OB/GYNs and received 919 valid responses. Multivariate logistic regression was performed with depression and suicidal ideation as the outcome variables and number of working hours per week, gender, age, marital status, hospital type and geographical area type as the explanatory variables.
Results
Sixteen per cent of the participants were depressed, and 3% reported suicidal ideation. Working 100 or more hours per week increased the odds for both depression and suicidal ideation [odds ratio (OR): 2.08 (95% confidence interval {CI}: 1.07–4.05, P = 0.03); and OR: 7.03 (95% CI: 1.95–25.38, P < 0.001), respectively].
Conclusions
The results suggest that the Japanese Government should vigorously promote physicians’ work-style reform, so that a lowered upper limit of overtime hours will be enforced from 2024 to improve physicians’ health and patients’ safety.

Abstract
We aimed to establish an in vitro differentiation procedure to generate matured small intestinal cells mimicking human small intestine from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). We previously reported the efficient generation of CDX2-expressing intestinal progenitor cells from embryonic stem cells (ESCs) using 6-bromoindirubin-3'-oxime (BIO) and (3,5-difluorophenylacetyl)-L-alanyl-L-2-phenylglycine tert-butyl ester (DAPT) to treat definitive endodermal cells. Here, we demonstrate the generation of enterocyte-like cells by culturing human iPSC-derived intestinal progenitor cells on a collagen vitrigel membrane (CVM) and treating cells with a simple maturation medium containing BIO, DMSO, dexamethasone, and activated vitamin D3. Functional tests further confirmed that these iPSC-derived enterocyte-like cells exhibit P-gp- and BCRP-mediated efflux and cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4)-mediated metabolism. We concluded that hiPS cell-derived enterocyte-like cells can be used as a model for the evaluation of drug transport and metabolism studies in the human small intestine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Oscillatory shear stress could not be directly measured in consideration of direction, although cerebrospinal fluid has repetitive movements synchronized with heartbeat. Our aim was to evaluate the important of oscillatory shear stress in the cerebral aqueduct and foramen magnum in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus by comparing it with wall shear stress and the oscillatory shear index in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus. MATERIALS AND METHODS By means of the 4D flow application, oscillatory shear stress, wall shear stress, and the oscillatory shear index were measured in 41 patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus, 23 with co-occurrence of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus and Alzheimer-type dementia, and 9 age-matched controls. These shear stress parameters at the cerebral aqueduct were compared with apertures and stroke volumes at the foramen of Magendie and cerebral aqueduct. RESULTS Two wall shear stress magnitude peaks during a heartbeat were changed to periodic oscillation by converting oscillatory shear stress. The mean oscillatory shear stress amplitude and time-averaged wall shear stress values at the dorsal and ventral regions of the cerebral aqueduct in the idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus groups were significantly higher than those in controls. Furthermore, those at the ventral region of the cerebral aqueduct in the idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus group were also significantly higher than those in the co-occurrence of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus with Alzheimer-type dementia group. The oscillatory shear stress amplitude at the dorsal region of the cerebral aqueduct was significantly associated with foramen of Magendie diameters, whereas it was strongly associated with the stroke volume at the upper end of the cerebral aqueduct rather than that at the foramen of Magendie. CONCLUSIONS Oscillatory shear stress, which reflects wall shear stress vector changes better than the conventional wall shear stress magnitude and the oscillatory shear index, can be directly measured on 4D flow MR imaging. Oscillatory shear stress at the cerebral aqueduct was considerably higher in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hyperuricemia occurs in approximately 80% in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and is positively correlated with pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP). It has been reported that uric acid (UA) reduced endothelium derived nitric oxide (NO) production in porcine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAEC). However, the effects of UA and xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR), catalytic enzyme of UA, on the development of PAH have not been fully elucidated.
Purpose
We examined the followings; (1) the effects of hyperuricemia on the endothelial function and the development of PAH in rats (2) the therapeutic effects of UA transporter inhibitor on PAH in rats, and (3) the role of XOR in PAH in mice.
Methods
We used normal and 5-wk Sugen5416/Hypoxia/Normoxia-exposed (SU/Hx/Nx) rats. Gene expression levels of URATv1, a UA transporter, were measured by RT-PCR. We determined the isometric tension of PA rings isolated from normal rats. The study with the isolated perfused lung preparation was performed in SU/HX/Nx rats. To investigate the chronic effect of UA on the development of PAH, hyperuricemia was induced by the administration of 2% oxonic acid (OA) in diet for 6-wk. Benzbromarone (BBR, 10mg/kg/day, diet, from weeks 0 to 5), a URATv1 transporter inhibitor, was administered in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats with or without 2%OA. To examine the role of XOR in PAH, XOR+/− and wild type (WT) mice were exposed to 3-wk Nx or Hx (10% O2).
Results
The mRNA of URATv1 was detected in the normal lungs. Isometric tension study showed that UA (8 mg/dl) inhibited acetylcholine-induced vasorelaxation. In perfused lung preparations, UA acutely increased estimated PVR in a dose-dependent manner (1.6–16.0mg/dl) with reducing cGMP levels in the lungs. BBR significantly attenuated the pressor response to UA. UA levels in the plasma and the lung tissues were significantly elevated in SU/Hx/Nx-rats with 2%OA (normal vs. vehicle vs. 2%OA, plasma: 0.24±0.01 vs. 0.80±0.14 and 1.44±0.17 mg/dl; lung tissues: 68±3 vs. 142±3 and 377±46 pmol/g tissue). They exhibited further elevation of right ventricle systolic pressure (RVSP) (31±2 vs. 72±6 vs. 101±3 mmHg) and Ea (a marker of RV afterload) (0.24±0.04 vs. 0.97±0.15 vs. 2.36±0.49 mmHg/μL) with the exacerbation of occlusive lesions of PAs. BBR had no changes in the UA levels in the plasma (1.93±0.30 mg/dL), but significantly reduced the UA levels in the lung tissues (101±10 pmol/g tissue) and attenuated the increase in RVSP (53±8mmHg) and Ea (0.21±0.05 mmHg/mL) in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats with 2%OA. On the other hand, BBR had no effects on RVSP (76±7 mmHg) and Ea (0.91±0.15 mmHg/mL) in the SU/Hx/Nx-rats without 2%OA. There were no significant differences in RVSP between XOR+/− mice with Hx and WT with Hx (26±2 vs. 26±2 mmHg).
Conclusions
Hyperuricemia itself impairs endothelial function and deteriorates PAH via URATv1 in a XOR-independent manner. UA can be a novel therapeutic target for PAH.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
It has been reported that intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guided PCI reduced a risk of major adverse cardiac event compared to conventional angiography guided PCI, while comparison between IVUS-guided and optical frequency domain imaging (OFDI)-guided PCI specifically in long-term clinical outcomes (>1 year) has been unexplored.
Purpose
We sought to compare imaging surrogates at 8 months and clinical outcomes beyond 1 year after drug-eluting stent implantation between IVUS and OFDI guidance.
Methods
The MISTIC-1 is a prospective, multi-centre, single-blinded, randomised-controlled, non-inferiority trial comparing OFDI-guided and IVUS-guided PCI using Biolimus A9 eluting Nobori stent. We enrolled patients with stable coronary artery disease who have symptoms or clinically relevant myocardial ischemia. Stent landing zones were selected in the most normal looking sites with largest lumen and without percentage plaque area >50% in IVUS group while without lipidic plaque of >2 quadrants or suggestive thin-cap fibroatheroma in OFDI group. Stent sizing was based on external elastic lamina (EEL) in IVUS group, while by taking 10% or 0.25mm larger than mean lumen diameter at reference sites in OFDI group. Stent optimisation with in-stent minimum lumen area ≥80% of the average lumen area at proximal and distal reference sites was encouraged in both groups. Primary efficacy endpoint is in-segment minimum lumen area (MLA) assessed by OFDI at 8 months. Secondary safety endpoint is a composite of cardiovascular death, target vessel myocardial infarction, or target lesion revascularisation. Based on the assumption that mean in-segment MLA at follow-up was 4.5mm2 with a standard deviation of 2.0mm2 in the control (IVUS) group and a non-inferiority limit of 1.2mm2 for OFDI group, sample size was estimated as 48 cases in each group with 5% type I error and 90% statistical power.
Results
Since June-2014 and August-2016, we prospectively enrolled 109 patients (mean age 70 years, male 78%) with 126 lesions. Baseline patient and lesion characteristics were well balanced and average nominal size and length of stent used did not differ between OFDI-guided and IVUS-guided PCI (3.0 and 19.1mm vs. 3.1 and 19.3mm, respectively). Post-procedural minimum stent area was 6.24mm2 in OFDI group and 6.72mm2 in IVUS group (p=0.20). At 8-month follow-up, in-segment MLA was 4.56mm2 in OFDI group and 4.13mm2 in IVUS group (P for non-inferiority <0.001). During the follow-up (median 4.5 years [1654 days]), incidence rates of major adverse cardiac event were comparable between the two groups (7.4% in OFDI group and 7.3% in IVUS group, hazard ratio 0.96, 95% CI 0.24–3.83, p=0.95). No definite or probable stent thrombosis were documented in both groups.
Conclusion
OFDI-guided PCI demonstrated comparable results in achieving satisfactory imaging surrogates as well as long-term clinical outcomes after newer generation DES implantation as compared to IVUS-guided PCI.

Abstract
Materials and structures of a collimator for a new neutron emission profile monitor in JT-60SA are examined through Monte Carlo simulations using the Monte Carlo N-Particle transport code. First, the shielding properties of various material combinations are compared in order to determine a combination with high shielding performances against both neutrons and gamma-rays. It is found that a collimator consisting of borated polyethylene and lead has a high shielding performance against neutrons. Moreover, a high shielding performance against gamma-rays is obtained when a lead pipe with a radial thickness of 0.01 m is inserted into a collimation tube. Second, we demonstrate that it is possible to improve the spatial resolution to a desired level by installing a thin tubular extension structure that fits into the limited space available between the main collimator block and the tokamak device. Finally, the collimator structures that meet both the targeted spatial resolutions (<10% of the plasma minor radius) and the targeted counting rate (105 cps order) are discussed.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) using the new generation drug-eluting stent (DES) has been extremely reduced target lesion revascularization (TLR) in recent years. However, a high incidence of non-target lesion-related cardiovascular events in patients undergoing PCI is an important problem to be solved. According to the previous findings, patients with vulnerable plaques particularly have a high recurrence of cardiovascular events. Little studies, however, has been done to examine the relationship between plaque characteristics on intravascular imaging in a target lesion and non-target lesion-related cardiovascular events.
Purpose
The main objective of this study is to investigate the five-year major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) of patients with lipid core abutting lumen (LCAL) on integrated backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS) in a target lesion undergoing PCI with current DES.
Methods and results
Between February 2010 and September 2013, in total 780 patients with ischemic heart disease undergoing PCI, 166 target lesions in 166 consecutive patients with non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS) and stable angina pectoris (SAP) undergoing IVUS-guided PCI were studied.
Plaque characteristics in all target lesions were analyzed by three-dimensional IB-IVUS system using the mechanical IVUS catheter. Our previous study has found that LCAL which is defined as a lipid pool directly in contact with the lumen visualizes the thin fibrous cap of less than 75μm on optical coherence tomography (OCT). On the basis of this data, LCAL at minimal lumen area (MLA) site was identified.
In total, 39 patients had lesions with LCAL at MLA site (LCAL(+)), and 127 patients had those without LCAL (LCAL(−)).
The primary endpoint was defined as MACCE, including cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke and non-TLR for the new lesion during a median follow up of five years. The MACCE occurred significantly higher in the LCAL(+) than in the LCAL(−) (38.5% vs. 17.3%; p<0.005). And the Kaplan-Meier estimates have shown that the cumulative incidence of MACCE was significantly higher in the LCAL(+) than in the LCAL(−) (log rank test, p=0.041). Additionally, after adjustment for confounders, gender, prior PCI and LCAL was the independent predictors for the MACCE of patients undergoing PCI with current DES.
Furthermore, after adding LCAL to a baseline model with established factors consisting of age, gender, diabetes mellitus, prior PCI and percentage lipid volume on IB-IVUS, the net reclassification (p<0.002) and integrated discrimination improvement (p<0.004) significantly improved compared to baseline model alone.
Conclusions
In this study, it has become clear that LCAL on IB-IVUS is likely to be a surrogate marker of MACCE in patients undergoing PCI with current DES.

Abstract
Aim Organotypic brain slice culture preserves the geographical position of neurons and neuronal circuits. The slice cultures also maintain both non‐neuronal cell types and the surrounding extracellular matrix. The interface method has been widely used for slice cultures, in which brain slices are placed on semiporous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes. However, a low optical transparency of PTFE membrane makes it difficult to perform live imaging of deep regions of slice cultures using an inverted microscope. To overcome the issue, we evaluated the suitability of using collagen membranes for slice cultures, especially focusing on live imaging of the cellular dynamics of green fluorescent protein (GFP)‐expressing microglia. Methods Entorhinohippocampal slices were cultured on either collagen or PTFE membranes. The influence of membrane type on the ability to observe deep regions of slice cultures was examined by live imaging using an inverted microscope. Results Collagen membranes were thinner and had better optical transparency compared with PTFE membranes. There were no differences in cell viability, density of neurons or microglia. The densify of visible short branches of microglia in live imaging was higher in collagen membranes than PTFE membranes. Conclusion Collagen membranes are suitable for live imaging of cellular dynamics in slice cultures using an inverted microscope. Live imaging of organotypic slice cultures has been a useful method to study cell dynamics. One remaining issue with live imaging of slice cultures is the low transparency of commonly used polytetrafluoroethylene membranes. Here we report that slice culture membranes made of collagen can solve the issue of low transparency, facilitating live imaging of small cellular structures such as microglial processes.

Abstract
Several studies have shown that the human gaze, but not the robot gaze, has significant effects on infant social cognition and facilitate social engagement. The present study investigates early understanding of the referential nature of gaze by comparing-through the eye-tracking technique-infants' response to human and robot's gaze. Data were acquired on thirty-two 17-month-old infants, watching four video clips, where either a human or a humanoid robot performed an action on a target. The agent's gaze was either turned to the target (congruent) or opposite to it (incongruent). The results generally showed that, independent of the agent, the infants attended longer at the face area compared to the hand and target. Additionally, the effect of referential gaze on infants' attention to the target was greater when infants watched the human compared to the robot's action. These results suggest the presence, in infants, of two distinct levels of gaze-following mechanisms: one recognizing the other as a potential interactive partner, the second recognizing partner's agency. In this study, infants recognized the robot as a potential interactive partner, whereas ascribed agency more readily to the human, thus suggesting that the process of generalizability of gazing behaviour to non-humans is not immediate.

Abstract
Background According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 80% or more deaths in Pacific island countries, including Fiji, were related to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Although competency-based approaches have been effective for developing healthcare workers’ capabilities, there are only a few reports on competency scales of healthcare workers for NCD prevention. We aimed to develop a self-reported measurement scale on a potential component of competency in the healthcare staff engaged in the prevention and control of NCDs in Fiji. Methods There were 378 Ministry of Health and Medical Services staff members working on NCD prevention and control in Fiji included in this study, which was a cross-sectional survey of social factors, working situation factors, and competency. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to assess potential competency components, whereas Cronbach’s α coefficient and analysis of variance were used to assess the validity and reliability of the scale items, respectively. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted to analyze the respondents’ factor scores relative to social status and work situations. Results The factor analysis revealed 16 items that identified competency in four work types: 1) work management, 2) monitoring and evaluation, 3) community partnership, and 4) community diagnosis. The monitoring and evaluation roles were related to ethnic background, community partnership was related to religion, and community diagnosis was related to academic qualifications. Conclusions Based on the results, we developed a competency scale for the four work types. This scale can help healthcare workers engage in better management of residents with NCDs in Fiji.

Abstract
Background
Elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using second generation drug-eluting stent (DES) has been dramatically reduced restenosis rate. Recently, it has been reported that plaque characterization in nontarget lesion is associated with cardio-vascular events in ischemic heart disease patients undergoing elective PCI. However, it is unclear whether plaque characterization in target lesion is predictor of MACEs (major adverse cardiac events) after elective PCI.
Purposes
The aim of this study is whether plaque characterization detected integrated-backscatter intravascular ultrasound (IB-IVUS) in the target lesion is associated with MACEs in patients with PCI after second generation DES implantation.
Methods and results
Of 700 patients with ischemic heart disease, 552 patients were excluded for chronic totally occlusion, severe calcification hindering precise intracoronary imaging, tortuous lesions, ostial or left main stem lesions and ST-elevated myocardial infarction patients. Finally, 148 consecutive patients who consented to repeated IB-IVUS prior to undergoing elective PCI were recruited in the study.Plaque characterization in target lesion was identified for three-dimensional IB-IVUS technology using the mechanical IVUS catheter (ViewIT, 40 MHz, 2.5 Fr; Terumo, Tokyo, Japan). The median of percentage lipid volume in all target lesions was 47.6%. Furthermore, lipid rich plaque (LRP) group was defined as the lesions consisting of percentage lipid volume greater than the median. And, non-lipid rich plaque (non-LRP) group was defined as the lesions consisting of percentage lipid volume less than the median. MACEs were defined as cardiovascular death, target vessel myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization and stent thrombosis. The median of follow up period was 60 months. Of the 148 patients, 106 patients had stable angina pectoris. The remaining 42 patients are acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). 74 patients were classified LRP groups and 74 patients were non-LRP groups. No significant differences were observed between the two groups with respect to age, sex and coronary risk factors. While plaque and vessel volume were greater in the LRP group (216.9±116.3mm3, p<0.001) than non-LRP group (322.5±144.0mm3, p p<0.001). Remodeling index was greater in LRP group (1.02±0.18) than non-LRP group (0.93±0.18, p<0.003). Although MACEs were no significant differences between the two groups, the number of MACEs tend to be more in patients with LRP group (8.1±27.4%) than small lipid group (2.7±16.3, p<0.147). Especially, cardiac death tend to be more in LRP group (6.7±25.2% than non-LRP group (1.3±11.6, p<0.096).
Conclusions
In conclusion, lipid rich plaque detected by three dimensional IB-IVUS system in target lesion with patients undergoing elective PCI may be associated with clinical outcomes for five years after second generation DES implantation.

Abstract
Abstract
Background/Introduction
Perivascular inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Recent studies have demonstrated that damaged mitochondrial DNA induces sterile inflammation by activating toll-like receptor (TLR)9 in spontaneous hypertensive rats. However, it remains unclear whether TLR9 is involved in perivascular inflammation and subsequent development of PAH.
Purpose
The purpose of the present study is to investigate whether chronic inhibition of TLR9 can ameliorate monocrotaline (MCT)-induced PAH in rats.
Methods
Male Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with MCT (60 mg/kg). First, we conducted immunohistochemistory to examine which cell types express TLR9 in lungs of normal rats and MCT-exposed rats. Second, we extracted cell-free DNA from plasma of rats and amplified genes of COX2 by real-time PCR to detect circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA, a ligand of TLR9. Third, the administration of a selective TLR9 inhibitor (E6446, 10mg/kg/day, drinking water) or non-selective TLR9 inhibitor (chloroquine: 50mg/kg/day, ip) started three days before MCT injection and sacrificed on day 21. We assessed hemodynamic data and histopathological analysis (EVG stain for medial wall thickness (MWT) in pulmonary arteries (outer diameter: 50 ∼ 100 μm) and CD68 for macrophage accumulation around pulmonary arteries (outer diameter: <50 μm)), and measured the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in lungs by real time PCR. Finally, we investigated survival rate in the reversal protocol, where we started the administration of E6446 on day 14.
Results
TLR9 was expressed dominantly in pulmonary endothelial cells and macrophages in the lungs of both normal rats and MCT-exposed rats. Compared with normal rats, MCT-exposed rats showed increased gene expression of COX2 (0.048±0.001 vs. 0.052±0.001 expressed by 1/Ct) in plasma on day 14. MCT-exposed rats also had increased right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP: 21±1 vs. 60±2 mmHg), total pulmonary vascular resistance index (TPRI: 0.07±0.01 vs. 0.43±0.02 mmHg/min/mL/kg), MWT (0.07±0.01 vs. 0.26±0,02) and accumulation of macrophages (1.6±0.3 vs. 20.0±1.7 cells/HPF) on day 21. In the prevention protocol, either E6446 or chloroquine significantly prevented the elevations of RVSP (49±4 or 48±3 mmHg) and TPRI (0.29±0.04 or 0.27±0.03 mmHg/min/mL/kg) with reducing MWT (0.18±0.01 or 0.18±0.01) and macrophage accumulation (9.7±1.3 or 9.8±2.5 cell/HPF) on day 21. In addition, these drugs significantly reduced the levels of IL-6 mRNA compared with MCT group (4.4±1.0 or 4.8±1.4 vs. 11.9±1.0). In the reversal protocol, the treatment of E6446 had significantly increased the survival rate (50 vs. 10%).
Conclusions
TLR9 largely contributes to the development of PAH by reducing perivascular inflammation. Inhibition of TLR9 could be a novel therapeutic target for PAH.

Abstract
Basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors play an important role in various organs' development; however, a tooth-specific bHLH factor has not been reported. In this study, we identified a novel tooth-specific bHLH transcription factor, which we named AmeloD, by screening a tooth germ complementary DNA (cDNA) library using a yeast 2-hybrid system. AmeloD was mapped onto the mouse chromosome 1q32. Phylogenetic analysis showed that AmeloD belongs to the achaete-scute complex-like ( ASCL) gene family and is a homologue of ASCL5. AmeloD was uniquely expressed in the inner enamel epithelium (IEE), but its expression was suppressed after IEE cell differentiation into ameloblasts. Furthermore, AmeloD expression showed an inverse expression pattern with the epithelial cell-specific cell-cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin in the dental epithelium. Overexpression of AmeloD in dental epithelial cell line CLDE cells resulted in E-cadherin suppression. We found that AmeloD bound to E-box cis-regulatory elements in the proximal promoter region of the E-cadherin gene. These results reveal that AmeloD functions as a suppressor of E-cadherin transcription in IEE cells. Our study demonstrated that AmeloD is a novel tooth-specific bHLH transcription factor that may regulate tooth development through the suppression of E-cadherin in IEE cells.

Abstract
INTRODUCTIONS Digitization could be incorporated in rural areas of resource-poor countries because information gathered by nurses working on-site could be better used. BACKGROUND For effective management of community health information, the usage and maintenance of digital records are important. Digitization of information provides essential information for informing health policy. AIM To develop a sustainable database to effectively collect and manage community health information and nursing practice. METHODS This study used a mixed method design. Phase 1 involved the development of a database system through repeated systematic focus group discussions with community health nurses. Phase 2 involved a practical trial examination of the developed system with both objective and subjective evaluations. RESULTS A nursing database system was developed with templates designed for the major health problems of communities. The templates were composed of multiple-choice items and a free-text field that allowed records to be more detailed than handwritten records and maintained in standardized formats. This enables accumulation of data that were less likely to be influenced by the variance of ability in each nurse. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION A multifaceted evaluation of the database system suggested that it could improve the efficiency of information management and contribute to the improvement of nursing care quality through standardization of the recording pattern. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING AND HEALTH POLICY The nursing database will enable high-quality information storage that will potentially better inform health and healthcare policies as well as enable visualization of data concerning nursing care challenges and activities within the relevant communities. This information is essential for policy development and implementation in areas of human and fiscal resource allocations and meeting training/education needs.

Abstract
Aims To investigate the risk factors for progression of articular cartilage damage after anatomical anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Patients and Methods A total of 174 patients who underwent second-look arthroscopic evaluation after anatomical ACL reconstruction were enrolled in this study. The graded condition of the articular cartilage at the time of ACL reconstruction was compared with that at second-look arthroscopy. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), ACL reconstruction technique, meniscal conditions, and other variables were assessed by regression analysis as risk factors for progression of damage to the articular cartilage. Results In the medial compartment, multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that partial medial meniscectomy (odds ratio (OR) 6.82, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.11 to 22.04, p = 0.001), pivot-shift test grade at the final follow-up (OR 3.53, CI 1.39 to 8.96, p = 0.008), BMI (OR 1.15, CI 1.03 to 1.28, p = 0.015) and medial meniscal repair (OR 3.19, CI 1.24 to 8.21, p = 0.016) were significant risk factors for progression of cartilage damage. In the lateral compartment, partial lateral meniscectomy (OR 10.94, CI 4.14 to 28.92, p < 0.001) and side-to-side differences in anterior knee laxity at follow-up (OR 0.63, p = 0.001) were significant risk factors. Conclusion Partial meniscectomy was found to be strongly associated with the progression of articular cartilage damage despite r anatomical ACL reconstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the relationships among subjective well-being, food and health behaviors, socioeconomic factors, and geography in chronically ill older Japanese adults living alone. DESIGN The design was a cross-sectional, multilevel survey. A questionnaire was distributed by post and self-completed by participants. SETTING The sample was drawn from seven towns and cities across Japan. PARTICIPANTS A geographic information system was used to select a representative sample of older people living alone based on their proximity to a supermarket. Study recruitment was conducted with municipal assistance. MEASUREMENTS To assess subjective well-being and food and health behaviors of respondents with disease, a logistic regression analysis was performed using stepwise variable analyses, adjusted for respondent age, socioeconomic status, and proximity to a supermarket. The dependent variable was good or poor subjective well-being. RESULTS In total, 2,165 older people (744 men, 1,421 women) completed the questionnaire (63.5% response rate). Data from 737 men and 1,414 women were used in this study. Among people with a chronic disease, individuals with good subjective well-being had significantly higher rates than those with poor subjective well-being for satisfaction with meal quality and chewing ability, food diversity, food intake frequency, perception of shopping ease, having someone to help with food shopping, eating home-produced vegetables, preparing breakfast themselves, eating with other people, and high alcohol consumption. A stepwise logistic analysis showed that the factors strongly related to poor subjective well-being were shopping difficulty (men: odds ratio [OR] = 3.19, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.94-5.23; P < 0.0001; women: OR = 2.20, 95% CI, 1.54-3.14; P < 0.0001), not having someone to help with food shopping (women: OR = 1.41, 95% CI, 1.01-1.97; P = 0.043), not preparing breakfast (women: OR = 2.36, 95% CI, 1.40-3.98; P = 0.001), and eating together less often (women: OR = 1.99, 95% CI, 1.32-3.00; P = 0.002). CONCLUSION Subjective well-being of people with chronic diseases is associated with food intake and food behavior. The factors that affect poor subjective well-being in chronically ill older Japanese people living alone include food accessibility and social communication.

Abstract
Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) treated with quality and quantity control culture (QQ-culture) to expand and fortify angiogenic cells on the acceleration of fracture healing. Methods Human PBMNCs were cultured for seven days with the QQ-culture method using a serum-free medium containing five specific cytokines and growth factors. The QQ-cultured PBMNCs (QQMNCs) obtained were counted and characterised by flow cytometry and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Angiogenic and osteo-inductive potentials were evaluated using tube formation assays and co-culture with mesenchymal stem cells with osteo-inductive medium in vitro. In order to evaluate the therapeutic potential of QQMNCs, cells were transplanted into an immunodeficient rat femur nonunion model. The rats were randomised into three groups: control; PBMNCs; and QQMNCs. The fracture healing was evaluated radiographically and histologically. Results The total number of PBMNCs was decreased after QQ-culture, however, the number of CD34+ and CD206+ cells were found to have increased as assessed by flow cytometry analysis. In addition, gene expression of angiogenic factors was upregulated in QQMNCs. In the animal model, the rate of bone union was higher in the QQMNC group than in the other groups. Radiographic scores and bone volume were significantly associated with the enhancement of angiogenesis in the QQMNC group. Conclusion We have demonstrated that QQMNCs have superior potential to accelerate fracture healing compared with PBMNCs. The QQMNCs could be a promising option for fracture nonunion.
