Abstract
Lasers have numerous advantageous tissue interactions such as ablation or vaporization, hemostasis, bacterial killing, as well as biological effects, which induce various beneficial therapeutic effects and biological responses in the tissues. Thus, lasers are considered an effective and suitable device for treating a variety of inflammatory and infectious conditions of periodontal disease. Among various laser systems, the Er:YAG laser, which can be effectively and safely used in both soft and hard tissues with minimal thermal side effects, has been attracting much attention in periodontal therapy. This laser can effectively and precisely debride the diseased root surface including calculus removal, ablate diseased connective tissues within the bone defects, and stimulate the irradiated surrounding periodontal tissues during surgery, resulting in favorable wound healing as well as regeneration of periodontal tissues. The safe and effective performance of Er:YAG laser-assisted periodontal surgery has been reported with comparable and occasionally superior clinical outcomes compared to conventional surgery. This article explains the characteristics of the Er:YAG laser and introduces its applications in periodontal surgery including conventional flap surgery, regenerative surgery, and flapless surgery, based on scientific evidence from currently available basic and clinical studies as well as cases reports.

Abstract
Background/purpose Impaired masticatory performance results in nutritional deficiencies in older adults. This systematic review aims to investigate the following clinical question (CQ): Do occlusal supports impact nutritional intake or nutritional status in older individuals? Materials and methods An extensive systematic literature search was performed to summarize the currently available knowledge to address the CQ. The cohort and intervention studies with participants of ≧60 years old or a mean age of 65 years performed before May 2021 were included. Studies were required to measure the parameters related to occluding tooth pairs/occlusal units and food/nutrient intake and/or nutritional status. Bias risk was assessed using the Risk of Bias Assessment Tool for Nonrandomized Studies. Results After an independent screening of 1130 initial records, 24 reports from 22 studies were included. Participants (n = 8684) in the included studies were mainly residents of nursing homes or community-dwelling individuals. Following the assessment of bias risk, it is revealed that all studies had methodological weaknesses. Over half of the studies concluded that there was an association between occlusal support and nutritional intake or status. However, it was also revealed that various confounding factors are involved in the association between occlusal support and nutrition. Conclusion This systematic review concludes that occlusal support might be associated with nutritional intake or nutritional status in the older population, although there are methodological limitations of each study. The evidence is still insufficient, and more well-designed studies are required.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying the impaired healing response by diabetes after periodontal therapy. BACKGROUND Outcomes of periodontal therapy in patients with diabetes are impaired compared with those in patients without diabetes. However, the mechanisms underlying impaired healing response to periodontal therapy have not been sufficiently investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) and lean (ZL) rats underwent experimental periodontitis by ligating the mandibular molars for one week. The gingiva at the ligated sites was harvested one day after ligature removal, and gene expression was comprehensively analyzed using RNA-Seq. In patients with and without type 2 diabetes (T2D), the corresponding gene expression was quantified in the gingiva of the shallow sulcus and residual periodontal pocket after non-surgical periodontal therapy. RESULTS Ligation-induced bone resorption and its recovery after ligature removal were significantly impaired in the ZDF group than in the ZL group. The RNA-Seq analysis revealed 252 differentially expressed genes. Pathway analysis demonstrated the enrichment of downregulated genes involved in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) signaling pathway. PPARα and PPARγ were decreased in mRNA level and immunohistochemistry in the ZDF group than in the ZL group. In clinical, probing depth reduction was significantly less in the T2D group than control. Significantly downregulated expression of PPARα and PPARγ were detected in the residual periodontal pocket of the T2D group compared with those of the control group, but not in the shallow sulcus between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Downregulated PPAR subtypes expression may involve the impaired healing of periodontal tissues by diabetes.

Abstract
AIM This study aimed to investigate the effects of diabetes care on periodontal inflammation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective cohort study included 51 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent intensive diabetes care including educational hospitalization and regular outpatient treatment for 6 months. Dental prophylaxis without subgingival scaling was provided three times during the observational period. Associations between changes in periodontal parameters and glycaemic control levels were evaluated using multiple regression analysis. RESULTS Overall, 33 participants (mean age: 58.7 ± 12.9) were followed up for 6 months. At baseline examination, 82% were diagnosed with Stage III or IV periodontitis. Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level changed from 9.6 ± 1.8% at baseline to 7.4 ± 1.3% at 6 months. The ratio of probing pocket depth (PPD) ≥4 mm, bleeding on probing (BOP), full-mouth plaque control record (PCR), periodontal epithelial surface area (PESA) and periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) also significantly improved. The reduction in PPD and PESA was significantly associated with changes in both HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels, and the reduction in PISA was significantly associated with an improvement in FPG after adjusting for smoking, change in body mass index and full-mouth PCR. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to report a significant improvement in PPD and BOP after intensive diabetes care and dental prophylaxis without subgingival scaling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been limited studies with statistically sufficient sample sizes for assessment of suitable bone defect morphology for combination therapy with enamel matrix derivative (EMD) and bone grafting. The aim of this study was to investigate the appropriate feature of intrabony defects, such as bone defect angle (DA) and the containment by bony wall, for yielding the additional benefit of bone grafting in combination with periodontal regenerative therapy using EMD. METHODS Following periodontal regenerative therapy using EMD with or without autologous bone grafting, 282 intrabony defects of 177 participants were maintained for 3 years. Multilevel linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the radiographic bony defect depth (RBD) reduction after adjusting for confounders. RESULTS The baseline parameters, except for the proportion of contained bony defects and tooth mobility, did not differ significantly between the groups with and without bone grafts. There was no significant difference in the improvement of clinical parameters between the groups. The 1- and 3-year reduction of RBD showed significant inverse correlations with preoperative DA only in the group without bone graft. Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed a significant interaction between DA at baseline ≥40° and adjunctive bone grafting in the reduction of RBD, regardless of the number of bony walls. CONCLUSION Adjunctive autologous bone grafting with enamel matrix derivative might be significantly beneficial for defect depth improvement in the case of DA at baseline ≥40°.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the effects of low-level erbium-doped: yttrium, aluminum, and garnet (Er:YAG) laser irradiation on periodontal tissue healing and regeneration through angiogenesis in vivo and in vitro studies. METHODS Intrabony defects were surgically created in the bilateral maxilla molar of rats. The defects were treated by open flap debridement (OFD) with Er:YAG laser, including low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) to bone and blood clot surfaces, or conventional procedures. The mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the surgical sites was quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction. The decalcified specimens were prepared for histometric analysis. Also, LLLI was performed on human umbilical vein endothelial cells to evaluate the effects on angiogenesis. Cell proliferation, VEGF expression, and tube formation were assessed. In addition, capsazepine (CPZ), a selective inhibitor of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), treatment was performed before LLLI for the same assays. RESULTS OFD using Er:YAG laser did not generate thermal damage on bone or root surfaces. LLLI accelerated hemostasis by coagulation of the superficial layers of blood clots in the laser-treated group. Postoperative healing was sound in all animals in both groups. VEGF expression and bone formation were significantly increased in the laser-treated group compared to those in the conventional treatment group. In vitro, cell proliferation and VEGF expression were significantly increased in the LLLI group compared to the control group. Tube-formation assays showed that LLLI significantly promoted angiogenesis. CPZ treatment significantly suppressed VEGF expression and tube formation following LLLI. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that Er:YAG laser irradiation may promote periodontal tissue healing by enhancing angiogenetic effect of endothelial cells via TRPV1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated the effectiveness of a novel pocket therapy (Er:YAG laser-assisted comprehensive periodontal pocket therapy [Er-LCPT]) for residual pocket treatment, compared with conventional mechanical treatment alone, in a randomized controlled clinical trial. METHODS Two sites in 18 patients having residual periodontal pockets of ≥5 mm depth, extant following initial active therapy, or during supportive therapy, were randomized into two groups in a split mouth design: the control group received scaling and root planing (SRP) by curette, and the test group received Er-LCPT using curette and laser. With Er-LCPT, after root debridement, inflamed connective tissue on the inner gingival surface and on the bone surface/within extant bone defects was thoroughly debrided. Furthermore, removal of proximate oral epithelium and coagulation of the blood clot in the pocket entrance were performed with laser. Clinical parameters were evaluated, before and after treatment, through 12 months. RESULTS Both groups showed significant improvements in clinical parameters. With Er-LCPT, pocket debridement was thoroughly and safely performed, without any adverse side effects and complications, and favorable healing was observed in most of the cases. At 12 months, Er-LCPT demonstrated significantly higher probing pocket depth reduction (2.78 mm vs. 1.89 mm on average; p = 0.012, Wilcoxon signed-rank test), clinical attachment gain (1.67 mm vs. 1.06 mm; p = 0.004) as primary outcomes, and reduced BOP value (0.89 vs. 0.56; p = 0.031), compared with SRP alone. CONCLUSION The results of this study indicate that Er-LCPT is more effective for residual pocket treatment, compared with SRP alone.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with periodontal disease. Clinically, periodontal treatment is less effective for patients with DM. Oxidative stress is one of the mechanisms that link DM to periodontitis. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is increased in the periodontal tissues of patients with DM and is involved in the development of insulin resistance in periodontal tissues. Insulin resistance decreases Akt activation and inhibits cell proliferation and angiogenesis. This results in the deterioration of wound healing and tissue repair in periodontal tissues. Antioxidants and insulin resistance ameliorants may inhibit ROS production and improve wound healing, which is worsened by DM. This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of the most recent basic and clinical evidence regarding the generation of ROS in periodontal tissues resulting from microbial challenge and DM. This study also delves into the impact of oxidative stress on wound healing in the context of periodontal and dental implant therapies. Furthermore, it discusses the potential benefits of administering antioxidants and anti-insulin resistance medications, which have been shown to counteract ROS production and inflammation. This approach may potentially enhance wound healing, especially in cases exacerbated by hyperglycemic conditions.

Abstract
Malnutrition-inflammation-atherosclerosis (MIA) syndrome is a significant risk factor for mortality in patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study aimed to investigate the association between MIA syndrome and oral health status in hemodialysis patients. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 254 hemodialysis patients. Comprehensive medical and dental examinations were performed. Three components were included to define MIA syndrome: Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index, serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, and history of cardiovascular events as indicators of malnutrition, inflammation, and atherosclerosis, respectively. The association of MIA syndrome components with periodontitis and occlusal support was examined by multiple-ordered logistic regression analysis. Of 254 participants, 188 (74.0%) had at least one component of MIA syndrome. After adjusting for possible confounding factors, severe periodontitis was significantly associated with presence of more components of MIA syndrome (odds ratio [OR]: 2.64, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.44-4.84, p = 0.002) and inflammation and malnutrition components (OR: 2.47 and 3.46, 95% CI 1.16-5.28 and 1.70-7.05, p = 0.020 and 0.001). On the other hand, occlusal support, evaluated by Eichner index, was not significantly associated with MIA syndrome or any of its components. In conclusion, periodontitis is associated with MIA syndrome, particularly with inflammation and malnutrition in hemodialysis patients, independent of occlusal support.

Abstract
Oral health screening is important for maintaining and improving quality of life. The present study aimed to determine whether patients with a certain level of alveolar bone resorption could be screened by salivary bacterial test along with their background information. Saliva samples were collected from 977 Japanese patients, and the counts of each red-complex, that is, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Treponema denticola, and Tannerella forsythia, were measured using quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis. Mean bone crest levels (BCLs) were measured using a full-mouth periapical radiograph. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to determine associations between BCLs (1.5-4.0 mm in 0.5 mm increments) and explanatory variables, such as the number of each red-complex bacteria and the patients' age, sex, number of teeth, stimulated saliva volume, and smoking habits. When the cutoff BCL value was set at 3.0 mm, the area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity values were optimal at 0.86, 0.82, and 0.76, respectively. In addition, all tested explanatory variables, except sex and T. denticola count, were significantly associated with BCLs according to a likelihood ratio test (p < 0.05). Additionally, the odds ratio (OR) was substantially increased when a patient was >40 years old and the bacterial count of P. gingivalis was >107 cells/µL (OR: >6). Thus, P. gingivalis count and patients' background information were significantly associated with the presence of a certain amount of bone resorption, suggesting that it may be possible to screen bone resorption without the need for radiography or oral examination.

Abstract
Introduction Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) has been reported to promote periodontal tissue regeneration. However, no study has investigated the long-term prognosis of periodontal regenerative therapy using FGF-2 to date. The aim of this study was to observe the long-term outcomes as well as to investigate the factors affecting the prognosis of periodontal regenerative therapy using FGF-2. Methods Sixty intrabony defects were prospectively investigated for three years after periodontal regenerative therapy with recombinant human FGF-2 (rhFGF-2) by evaluating probing pocket depth (PPD) and radiographic bone defect depth (RBD). The factors influencing RBD were assessed by conducting a multivariate linear regression analysis after adjusting for confounders. Results The mean age of the participants was 62.4 ± 13.4 years, and baseline PPD and RBD were 6.1 ± 1.9 mm and 4.5 ± 1.8 mm, respectively. At six months, one year, and three years after surgery, PPD and RBD had significantly improved to 4.2 ± 1.7, 3.7 ± 1.4, 4.0 ± 1.9 mm and to 3.08 ± 2.05, 2.73 ± 1.90, 2.51 ± 2.15 mm, respectively. At the three-year examination, a significant positive association was deteced between RBD reduction and RBD at baseline, while the association was not significant between RBD reduction and the radiographic bony angle, number of bony walls of the defect, or the furcation involvement at baseline. Conclusions rhFGF-2 was effective for alveolar bone regeneration in patients with periodontitis and maintained the improved parameters over the three-year observation period. The radiographic bone defect depth at baseline was found to be the factor affecting the periodontal regenerative therapy using rhFGF-2 in the intrabony defects. Trial registration number UMIN000027979. Mid-term observation following periodontal regenerative therapy using rhFGF-2. Reductions in PPD and radiographic defect depth were maintained for 3 years. Evaluation of prognostic factors of rhFGF-2 application in intrabony defects. Preoperative radiographic defect depth predicts postoperative bone fill.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Few studies have reported on the impact of oxidative stress on the dental implant failure. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of hyperglycemia-induced oxidative stress on dental implant osseointegration in diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS Acid-treated titanium implants were bilaterally placed in the maxillary alveolar ridge of streptozotocin-induced diabetic (DM group) and control rats after extraction of first molars. Histological analysis and micro-push-out test were performed 4 weeks after surgery. Oxidative stress and osteogenic markers in the surrounding bone were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction. In the in vitro study, rat bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) were cultured on acid-treated titanium discs in a high-glucose (HG) or normal environment. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS), cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and extracellular calcification were evaluated following antioxidant treatment with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC). RESULTS The implant survival rate was 92.9% and 75.0% in control and DM group, respectively. Bone-implant contact and push-out loads were significantly lower in the DM group. Expression of superoxide dismutase 1 at the mRNA level and on immunohistochemistry was significantly lower in the DM group. In vitro experiments revealed that the HG condition significantly increased ROS expression and suppressed the proliferation and extracellular calcification of BMMSCs, while NAC treatment significantly restored ROS expression, cell proliferation, and calcification. The ALP activity of both groups was not significantly different. CONCLUSION In diabetes, high-glucose-induced oxidative stress downregulates proliferation and calcification of BMMSCs, impairing osseointegration and leading to implant failure.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of night denture (ND) placement on abutment tooth mobility in removable partial denture (RPD) wearers with sleep bruxism (SB). METHODS The participants were selected from RPD wearers diagnosed with SB using BiteStrip® and randomly allocated to one of the following groups: with ND placement or without ND placement (intervention or control group, respectively). The mobility of the RPD abutment tooth was measured using Periotest® at baseline (T0) and at 1 (T1), 3 (T3), and 6 months (T6). BiteStrip® scores were recorded at T0 and T6. Intragroup comparisons of the Periotest® value (PTV) were performed using analysis of covariance. Intergroup comparisons of PTV and BiteStrip® scores were performed using the linear mixed model and Wilcoxon signed-rank test, respectively. Intragroup comparisons of BiteStrip® scores were performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS At T6, the PTV in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p=0.004). PTV was significantly lower at T6 than that at T0 in the intervention group (p=0.030), while PTV was significantly higher at T6 than that at T0 in the control group (p=0.007). There was no significant difference in the BiteStrip® score between the two groups. The BiteStrip® score at T6 was significantly lower than that at T0 only in the intervention group (p=0.011). CONCLUSION ND placement might inhibit the increase in mobility of RPD abutment teeth and be effective in protecting them in RPD wearers with SB.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the influence of chronological aging on periodontal regenerative therapy (PRT) outcomes with enamel matrix derivative (EMD). MATERIALS AND METHODS In total, 253 intra-bony defects (151 patients) including 44 furcation involvement were prospectively investigated for 3 years after regenerative therapy with EMD by evaluating probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and radiographic bone defect depth (RBD). The influence of age on these outcomes was assessed using multilevel regression analyses adjusting for confounders. RESULTS Participants' mean age was 55.9 ± 12.3 years (range: 22-85). Baseline PPD, CAL, and RBD were 6.14 ± 1.82, 7.22 ± 2.14, and 5.08 ± 2.04 mm, respectively. Significant improvement was observed with PPD reductions of 2.84 ± 1.73 and 2.87 ± 1.87 mm, CAL gains of 2.40 ± 1.87 and 2.47 ± 1.89 mm, and RBD gains of 1.76 ± 1.98 and 2.39 ± 2.41 mm at 1- and 3-year examinations, respectively. At the 1-year examination, multivariate analysis revealed a significant negative association between age and improvement in PPD and CAL (coefficients: -0.13, -0.23 mm per 10 years). However, by the 3-year examination, no significant association was noted between age and improvement in PPD, CAL, or RBD. CONCLUSION Although the statistical difference was detected with age at 1-year examination, PRT with EMD significantly improved clinical outcomes on long-term observation, irrespective of the patient's age. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER UMIN000039846.

Abstract
PURPOSE This article describes a novel, minimally invasive procedure called Er:YAG laser micro-keyhole surgery (EL-MIKS) that removes metal or amalgam tattoos in the gingiva adjacent to prosthetic teeth without gingival deformity and recession. We aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of EL-MIKS for removing metal tattoos and present its long-term treatment outcomes. METHODS The EL-MIKS procedure consists of several steps that are all performed under a microscope. First, a micro-keyhole (1-2 mm diameter) was prepared using an Er:YAG laser in the center of the metal pigmentation. The connective tissue was evaporated in the deep layer, where metal debris was deposited. Second, within the accessible range, the irradiation angle was changed in various directions to ablate the metal pieces and discolored connective tissue without enlarging the keyhole. Finally, after blood filled the space created by the tissue evaporation, the surface of the blood clot at the entrance of the micro-keyhole was thermally coagulated with defocus laser irradiation. Pigmentation that could not be successfully removed from a single micro-keyhole was treated by forming new micro-keyholes at a distance of 3 mm or more from each previously created hole. Depigmentation over an extended area was completed over a few sessions every 4 weeks without gingival recession after surgery. CONCLUSIONS EL-MIKS, a novel depigmentation technique, was able to successfully remove an extended area of metal tattoos in the gingiva using a simpler, easier, and less invasive procedure than conventional periodontal plastic surgery. Esthetic restoration was successfully achieved without postoperative alteration of the gingival contour.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the effects of metformin on gingival wound healing in insulin-resistant prediabetes. METHODS C57BL/6J mice were fed normal diet (ND) or high-fat diet (HFD) for 10 weeks; half of the HFD mice were treated with metformin (HFD+ Met) for the last 2 weeks. Insulin and glucose tolerance tests were performed. The palatal gingiva (2.0 × 0.5 mm) was surgically removed adjacent to the maxillary molars. Post-surgical wound closure was histomorphometrically evaluated for 1 week. The mRNA expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) in the tissue were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction. In vitro, the proliferation and migration of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFs) cultured under high-glucose or control conditions with/without metformin were analyzed. Akt phosphorylation and VEGF expression following the insulin stimulation were evaluated with/without metformin in high-glucose or control media. RESULTS HFD mice showed significantly higher plasma glucose levels and insulin resistance than ND mice. Gingival wound healing was delayed in HFD group compared with ND group but significantly improved in HFD + MET group. The decreased expression of VEGF and eNOS in HFD group was significantly elevated in the HFD + MET group. The proliferation and migration of HGFs were significantly impaired in high-glucose conditions compared with control; metformin treatment partially attenuated these effects. Metformin treatment significantly recovered the downregulated Akt phosphorylation and VEGF expression in high-glucose conditions. CONCLUSIONS Metformin improved delayed gingival wound healing in insulin-resistant prediabetes by accelerating HGFs proliferation and migration via Akt phosphorylation in insulin signaling pathway.

Abstract
AIMS The impact of periodontal inflammation on lipid metabolism is controversial. This study aimed to investigate the association between full-mouth periodontal inflammation and serum lipid levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we performed periodontal and bacteriological examinations during medical checkup on 131 subjects. The association between the periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) and the lipid markers was analyzed by multiple linear regression, adjusting for age, sex, smoking, and body mass index. RESULTS Overall, 118 medically healthy participants were analyzed. The proportions of none, mild, moderate, and severe periodontitis were 37.3%, 32.2%, 25.4%, and 5.1%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly higher in participants with the lowest tertile of PISA values (PISA low, coefficient: 7.94; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.63, 14.26, p = .01) compared to those in other tertiles (PISA high). Low-density/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and total/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratios were significantly lower in the PISA-low group than the PISA-high group (coefficient: -0.26 and -0.30; 95% CI: -0.50, -0.02, and -0.59, -0.0002; p = .04 and .0498). Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level, but not serum Porphyromonas gingivalis antibody titer, partly explained the association between PISA and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. A significant interaction between female sex and PISA values toward high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level was detected. CONCLUSION Periodontal inflammation was inversely associated with higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, especially in females. Elevated serum C-reactive protein partly explained this association.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim was to investigate the relationship of full-mouth inflammatory parameters of periodontal disease with diabetes and obesity. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This cross-sectional study conducted diabetes-related examinations and calculated periodontal inflamed and epithelial surface area (PISA and PESA) of 71 Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to evaluate associations between PISA or PESA and diabetes and obesity parameters. RESULTS Median value of body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level, and visceral fat area (VFA) were 25.7 kg/m2, 9.1%, 151 mg/L, and 93.3 cm2, respectively. PISA and PESA were significantly associated with HbA1c after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, smoking status, and full-mouth plaque control level (PISA: coefficient=38.1, 95% CI 8.85 to 67.29, p=0.001; PESA: coefficient=66.89, 95% CI 21.44 to 112.34, p=0.005). PISA was also significantly associated with the highest FPG tertile (>175 mg/dL) after adjusting for confounders (coefficient=167.0, 95% CI 48.60 to 285.4, p=0.006). PISA and PESA were not significantly associated with BMI or VFA. CONCLUSION PISA was associated with FPG and HbA1c, but not with obesity parameters, independent from confounders such as full-mouth plaque control level in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Few effective and established treatment methods can remove gingival metal or amalgam tattoos. With this case series, we aimed to demonstrate the use of a novel minimally invasive technique to remove metal tattoos using an erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG) laser. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected clinical data from 18 patients who had undergone Er:YAG laser treatment to remove metal tattoos. Minimal gingival ablation using an Er:YAG laser directed towards the pigmented area was performed, which exposed metal debris within the connective tissue that was carefully removed. A dental microscope was employed to identify the metal debris, for accurate irradiation, and to minimize wounding by reducing invasion. Postoperative gingival color and morphology, and visual analog scale as a patient-reported outcome assessing postoperative pain were evaluated. RESULTS All patients' metal tattoos were removed completely and safely during short procedures. Considerable esthetic improvements and favorable wound healing were achieved with almost no postoperative pain or complications. CONCLUSION The findings from this case series suggest that this novel minimally invasive therapy for metal tattoo removal that involved the Er:YAG laser is effective and safe, is associated with successful outcomes, and contributes greatly to patients' esthetic satisfaction. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Metal tattoo removal using an Er:YAG laser safely and successfully improved gingival esthetics. This novel technique is much simpler and less invasive than conventional periodontal plastic surgery, and it may be more reliable regarding esthetic gingival improvements as it is associated with favorable wound healing, and it could offer significant benefits to patients by alleviating physical and mental stresses via reduced chair time and postoperative pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Information regarding periodontal regenerative therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) is limited. This pilot study compared the regenerative outcomes of minimally invasive periodontal surgery using enamel matrix derivative (EMD) between DM and non-DM patients. METHODS This prospective study included deep intrabony defects in patients with or without type 2 DM. Minimally invasive surgical technique (MIST) or modified MIST (M-MIST) using EMD, without bone graft materials, was performed. Periodontal examination and intraoral radiography were performed at baseline, 6 months, and 1 and 3 years after surgery. RESULTS Ten sites of 10 subjects in the DM group, and 20 sites of 18 subjects in non-DM group were evaluated (mean age; 67.5 ± 7.6 and 63.1 ± 9.7, respectively). Probing depth significantly decreased from 7.1 ± 1.6 and 7.0 ± 1.3 mm to 2.2 ± 0.9 and 2.3 ± 1.1 mm at the 1-year examination in the DM and non-DM groups, respectively. Clinical attachment level (CAL) gain and radiographical defect fill at the 3-year examination were 3.8 ± 1.1 mm and 58.3% ± 10.4%, respectively, in the DM group, and 4.1 ± 1.1 mm and 65.5% ± 18.8%, respectively, in the non-DM group, showing no significant differences between the groups. Multiple regression analysis showed no significant association of CAL gain with DM or age after adjustments for relevant confounders. CONCLUSIONS This is the first documented study of successful periodontal tissue regeneration in patients with DM. Minimally invasive surgery combined with EMD yielded significant clinical attachment gain and bone fill in the DM and non-DM groups at comparable levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptors (TNFRs; TNFR1 and TNFR2), markers of inflammation, have been reported as significant predictors of mortality in hemodialysis patients. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a major pathogenic bacterium involved in periodontitis, which induces systemic inflammation. We investigated the association between the abundance of P. gingivalis in saliva and serum TNFR levels in hemodialysis patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on 121 hemodialysis patients visiting a clinic in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Medical interviews and examinations, comprehensive dental examinations, bacterial examinations for P. gingivalis in saliva, and measurements of circulating TNFR levels were conducted. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between the number of P. gingivalis and circulating TNFR levels. RESULTS TNFR1 and TNFR2 were positively correlated with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Severe periodontitis was significantly associated with the number of P. gingivalis in saliva but not serum TNFR levels. The number of P. gingivalis was significantly associated with both TNFR1 and TNFR2 levels in sera after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, history of diabetes, prior cardiovascular disease events, serum levels of hsCRP and albumin, and severity of periodontitis [for TNFR1: coefficient 0.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.14-1.37, p = 0.02; for TNFR2: coefficient 0.95, 95% CI 0.09-1.80, p = 0.03]. CONCLUSION Circulating TNFR levels are associated with the number of P. gingivalis in saliva after adjusting for relevant clinical factors.

Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the periodontal regenerative effect of enamel matrix derivative (EMD) in diabetes. Thirty-six rats were assigned to streptozotocin-induced diabetes or control (non-diabetic) groups. Three-wall intrabony defects were surgically generated in the bilateral maxilla molar, followed by application of EMD or saline. Primary wound closure and defect fill were evaluated via histomorphological analysis and micro-computed tomography. mRNA expression levels of inflammatory and angiogenic factors in the defects were quantified via real-time polymerase chain reaction. Gingival fibroblasts were isolated from control animals and cultured in high-glucose (HG) or control medium. The effects of EMD on insulin resistance and PI3K/Akt/VEGF signaling were evaluated. The achievement rate of primary closure and the parameters of defect fill were significantly higher at EMD-treated site than at EMD-untreated sites in both diabetic and non-diabetic rats, although defect fill in the diabetic groups was significantly lower in the control groups on two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (for both, p<0.05). Newly formed bone and cementum were significantly increased at EMD-treated sites in diabetic rats than at EMD-untreated sites in control rats (for both, p<0.05). Vegf was significantly upregulated at EMD-treated sites in both diabetic and non-diabetic rats (for both, p<0.05). In vitro, insulin or EMD-induced Akt phosphorylation was significantly lower in cells cultured in HG medium (p<0.05). EMD-mediated Vegf upregulation was suppressed by the Akt inhibitor wortmannin, although the effect was significantly lower in HG medium (p<0.01). In conclusion, EMD might promote periodontal tissue regeneration via Akt/VEGF signaling, even in a diabetic condition.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanisms linking high glucose to gingival wound healing. Bilateral wounds were created in the palatal gingiva adjacent to maxillary molars of control rats and rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. After evaluating postsurgical wound closure by digital imaging, the maxillae including wounds were resected for histological examinations. mRNA expressions of angiogenesis, inflammation, and oxidative stress markers in the surgical sites were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Primary fibroblast culture from the gingiva of both rats was performed in high glucose and normal medium. In vitro wound healing and cell proliferation assays were performed. Oxidative stress marker mRNA expressions and reactive oxygen species production were measured. Insulin resistance was evaluated via PI3K/Akt and MAPK/Erk signaling following insulin stimulation using Western blotting. To clarify oxidative stress involvement in high glucose culture and cells of diabetic rats, cells underwent N-acetyl-L-cysteine treatment; subsequent Akt activity was measured. Wound healing in diabetic rats was significantly delayed compared with that in control rats. Nox1, Nox2, Nox4, p-47, and tumor necrosis factor-α mRNA levels were significantly higher at baseline in diabetic rats than in control rats. In vitro study showed that cell proliferation and migration significantly decreased in diabetic and high glucose culture groups compared with control groups. Nox1, Nox2, Nox4, and p47 expressions and reactive oxygen species production were significantly higher in diabetic and high glucose culture groups than in control groups. Akt phosphorylation decreased in the high glucose groups compared with the control groups. Erk1/2 phosphorylation increased in the high glucose groups, with or without insulin treatment, compared with the control groups. Impaired Akt phosphorylation partially normalized after antioxidant N-acetyl-L-cysteine treatment. Thus, delayed gingival wound healing in diabetic rats occurred because of impaired fibroblast proliferation and migration. Fibroblast dysfunction may occur owing to high glucose-induced insulin resistance via oxidative stress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Low-level laser irradiation (LLLI) exerts various biostimulative effects, including promotion of wound healing and bone formation; however, few studies have examined biostimulation using blue lasers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of low-level ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) and ultrashort-pulse (USP) blue laser irradiation on osteoblasts. STUDY DESIGN/ MATERIALS AND METHODS The MC3T3-E1 osteoblast cell line was used in this study. Following LLLI with a 405 nm newly developed UHF-USP blue laser (80 MHz, 100 fs), osteoblast proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity were assessed. In addition, mRNA levels of the osteoblast differentiation markers, runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), osterix (Osx), alkaline phosphatase (Alp), and osteopontin (Opn) was evaluated, and extracellular calcification was quantified. To clarify the involvement of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels in LLLI-induced biostimulation, cells were treated prior to LLLI with capsazepine (CPZ), a selective inhibitor of TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1), and subsequent proliferation and ALP activity were measured. RESULTS LLLI with the 405 nm UHF-USP blue laser significantly enhanced cell proliferation and ALP activity, compared with the non-irradiated control and LLLI using continuous-wave mode, without significant temperature elevation. LLLI promoted osteoblast proliferation in a dose-dependent manner up to 9.4 J/cm2 and significantly accelerated cell proliferation in in vitro wound healing assay. ALP activity was significantly enhanced at doses up to 5.6 J/cm2 , and expression of Osx and Alp mRNAs was significantly increased compared to that of the control on days 3 and 7 following LLLI at 5.6 J/cm2 . The extent of extracellular calcification was also significantly higher as a result of LLLI 3 weeks after the treatment. Measurement of TRPV1 protein expression on 0, 3, and 7 days post-irradiation revealed no differences between the LLLI and control groups; however, promotion of cell proliferation and ALP activity by LLLI was significantly inhibited by CPZ. CONCLUSION LLLI with a 405 nm UHF-USP blue laser enhances extracellular calcification of osteoblasts by upregulating proliferation and differentiation via TRPV1. Lasers Surg.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the dosimetry of compensator intensity modulation-based stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) [non-coplanar intensity-modulated radiotherapy (ncIMRT)], its use was compared with that of three-dimensional conformation-based SBRT, for patients with Stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS 21 consecutive patients with Stage I NSCLC were treated with ncIMRT or SBRT at Tokyo Medical University. To compare the two techniques, ncIMRT and SBRT plans for each patient were generated, where the planning target volume (PTV) coverages were adjusted to be equivalent to each other. The prescribed dose was set as 75 Gy in 30 fractions. PTV coverage, conformity index, conformation number (CN) and homogeneity index (HI) were used to compare the two strategies. RESULTS There was no statistically significant difference between PTV coverage for the 100%, 95% and 90% dose levels in the SBRT plan and those in the ncIMRT plan. The CN values were 0.53 ± 0.13 in the SBRT plan and 0.72 ± 0.10 in the ncIMRT plan. These values were significantly better than those of the SBRT plan (p < 0.001). The HI in the ncIMRT plan was 1.04 ± 0.03%, which was also significantly better than that of SBRT. CONCLUSION The ncIMRT plan provided superior conformity and reduced the doses to the lung for patients with Stage I NSCLC. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE The delivery technique with compensator intensity modulation-based SBRT was evaluated. Concerning target motion, this is thought to be more robust and safer than SBRT for early-stage NSCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk of radiation pneumonitis (RP) after stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) for patients presenting with severe pulmonary emphysema. METHODS This study included 40 patients with Stage I non-small-cell lung cancer who underwent SBRT, 75 Gy given in 30 fractions, at the Tokyo Medical University, Tokyo, Japan, between February 2010 and February 2013. The median age of the patients was 79 years (range, 49-90 years), and the male:female ratio was 24:16. There were 20 T1 and 20 T2 tumours. 17 patients had emphysema, 6 had slight interstitial changes on CT images and the remaining 17 had no underlying lung disease. The level of emphysema was classified into three groups according to the modified Goddard's criteria (severe: three patients, moderate: eight patients and mild: six patients). Changes in the irradiated lung following SBRT were evaluated by CT. RESULTS On CT images, RP was detected in 34 (85%) patients, and not in 6 (15%) patients, during a median observation period of 313 days. Of the six patients, three had severe emphysema and three had no underlying lung disease. Patients with severe emphysema had lower risk of RP than those with moderate emphysema (p = 0.01), mild emphysema (p = 0.04) and no underlying lung disease (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Patients with severe emphysema had a low risk of RP following SBRT. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE Little is known about the association between RP and pulmonary emphysema. Patients with severe emphysema had lower risk of RP than those with no underlying lung disease.

Abstract
To investigate the possible role of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) in the reconstruction process following inflammatory damage in lung tissue, we compared HGF production of human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLWECs) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) after stimulation by interleukin(IL)-1beta. In an HLMEC-conditioned medium, large amounts of total (single and 2-chain) HGF were detected, and were 26- to 28-fold higher than those in HUVECs or human lung fibroblasts. The production of total HGF increased in a dose-dependent manner (4.7 to 9.2 times) with IL-1beta. In contrast, the amount of HGF in an HUVEC-conditioned medium was unaffected by IL-1beta treatment. The amount of cell-associated HGF also showed a dose-related increase (140% to 160%) in HLMECs, but not in HUVECs with IL1beta. In addition, HGF and c-met (HGF receptor) mRNAs in HLMECs and HUVECs were examined by the RT-PCR method. HGF and c-met mRNAs were clearly detected in HLMECs before and after treatment with IL-1beta, but not in HUVECs. These results suggest that increases in HGF production from HLMECs may play a role in the reconstruction process following inflammatory damage in lung tissue.

Abstract
The patient was a woman aged 56 years. In February 1998, she complained of fatigability of the right upper limb and disturbed extension of the right fourth finger. Because her condition deteriorated gradually and myelopathic signs such as difficulty in walking developed, she was hospitalized in May 1999 for close examination and appropriate treatment; and she was a few days later transferred to our hospital because of progressive myelopathy. In T2-weighted MR images of the cervical spine, the high-intensity area ranged between C2 and Th1, and in Gd-DTPA enhanced MRI the high-intensity area was seen between C3 and C7. Although chest radiographs and chest CT scans were normal, spinal cord sarcoidosis could not be ruled out, and therefore, bronchoscopic examination was performed. Specimens obtained from transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) revealed non-caseating epithelioid cell granulomas, and so and the disease was diagnosed as spinal cord sarcoidosis. Both symptoms and MRI findings were improved by treatment with corticosteroids. It is suggested that, in patients suspected of spinal cord sarcoidosis from MRI findings. TBLB should be aggressively attempted, even if chest radiographs and chest CT scans are normal.

Abstract
A 56-year-old man whose chest radiograph in 1993 was normal was referred to our hospital because of a productive cough in 1997. Chest radiographs showed a thin-walled cavity filled with air. We followed his condition radiographically for three years and observed enlargement of the diameter of the lesion and appearance of an air fluid level, and we therefore decided to perform thoracoscopic middle lobe resection in 1999. Histological examination showed a communication between the cavity and a bronchus. As far as we know, there are no previous reports about intrapulmonary bronchogenic cysts which on radiographic observation developed from negative findings to a thin-walled cavity filled with air over a 6-year period.

Abstract
A 49-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of abnormal chest X-ray findings. Chest X-ray films showed infiltrative opacities in the right lung, and histological findings of a transbronchial biopsy specimen showed non-specific inflammation. The patient was treated with Ofloxacin for one month. After the treatment, chest X-ray films showed that the infiltrative opacities in the right upper lobe had decreased, but that opacities in the right lower lobe had increased, with an air meniscus sign. A chest computed tomography scan at the same time revealed that the remaining opacities contained multiple mass-like lesions within a cavity in the right S6, appearing as "balls in a hole". One year after the first visit, the patient visited the hospital again because of cough and sputum. A chest X-ray film showed that the size of the cavity in the right lower lobe had increased. The histological findings from a fresh transbronchial biopsy specimen revealed a non-specific inflammation again; however, black clots obtained from bronchial lavage fluid after biopsy were histologically identified as sulfur granules, a classic pathological indication of actinomycosis. This confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary actinomycosis. The patient was treated with penicillin, and the opacities in the right lower lobe subsided.

Abstract
A 54-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of fever and general fatigue. A chest roentgenogram on admission showed lobular opacities and ill-defined opacities in both lower lobes. The pneumonia was successfully treated with antibiotics. The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome was diagnosed because ELISA and PCR tests for antibodies to the human immunodeficiency virus were positive and the CD 4+ lymphocyte count was 39 per cubic millimeter. Examination of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid revealed no Pneumocystis carinii. Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole were given prophylactically, but were withdrawn because of a rash. The patient began to receive aerosolized pentamindine and was discharged. On the next day, he was readmitted to the hospital because of a high fever. A chest roentgenogram showed diffuse miliary opacities. Chest CT scan also showed diffuse small nodular opacities in both lungs. Examination of a transbronchial biopsy specimen revealed well-defined, noncaseating granulomas with pneumocystis organisms in their centers. Cultures for tuberculosis and fungi were all negative. We diagnosed granulomatous pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinii, which is an atypical manifestation of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. The patient died of sepsis and cardiac tamponade. Microscopically, the lung tissue was found to have foamy intra-alveolar exdates, which is a typical histological feature of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.

Abstract
Case one: A 61-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of coughing. Adenocarcinoma of the lung was diagnosed. The patient was treated with bronchial artery infusion of cisplatin and mitomycin C, followed by irradiation; and there was a partial response. Eighteen months later he was admitted to the hospital because of dysphagia. An esophageal prosthesis was inserted because of esophageal stenosis surrounded by local recurrent tumor. After intubation, the patient was able to eat and was discharged. Although the patient died 5 months later, the tube was patent and functional until that time. Case two: A 63-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of coughing. Adenocarcinoma of the lung was diagnosed. The patient was treated with 3 cycles of chemotherapy consisting of cisplatin, vindesine, and mifomycin C, which were followed by irradiation; and there was a partial response. Six months later he was admitted to the hospital because of dysphagia. An esophageal prosthesis was inserted because of esophageal stenosis surrounded by mediastinal lymph nodes. Although the patient was able to eat, bilateral pleuritis and mediastinitis developed and he died ten days after intubation. At autopsy the esophagus was found to have been perforated. Palliative intubation of an esophageal prosthesis can be effective in patients with esophageal stenosis due to lung cancer, but care must be taken to prevent fatal complications.

Abstract
On the day of the disaster, 641 victims were seen at St. Luke's International Hospital. Among those, five victims arrived with cardiopulmonary or respiratory arrest with marked miosis and extremely low serum cholinesterase values; two died and three recovered completely. In addition to these five critical patients, 106 patients, including four pregnant women, were hospitalized with symptoms of mild to moderate exposure. Other victims had only mild symptoms and were released after 6 hours of observation. Major signs and symptoms in victims were miosis, headache, dyspnea, nausea, ocular pain, blurred vision, vomiting, coughing, muscle weakness, and agitation. Almost all patients showed miosis and related symptoms such as headache, blurred vision, or visual darkness. Although these physical signs and symptoms disappeared within a few weeks, psychologic problems associated with posttraumatic stress disorder persisted longer. Also, secondary contamination of the house staff occurred, with some sort of physical abnormality in more than 20%.

Abstract
A 49-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of coughing and dyspnea. A chest roentogenogram showed emphysematous changes and a diffuse reticular shadow. A high-resolution CT scan of the chest showed many small cysts throughout the lungs. Lymphangiomyomatosis was diagnosed after examination of a specimen obtained by transbronchial biopsy. Abdominal distention due to chylous ascites developed during the hospital stay despite anti-estrogen therapy. Because the ascites was resistant to conservative therapy, we decided to begin peritoneo-venous shunting with a Denver Shunt system. After the operation, the abdominal distention was controlled for 1 year and 11 months, at which time the patient died of respiratory and heart failure with pneumonia. At autopsy, the shunt was patent and functional although about 900 ml of serous ascites fluid was present. An adenocarcinoma was found in the upper lobe of the right lung, but it may not have been related to the lymphangiomyomatosis. Peritoneovenous shunting with a Denver Shunt can be used to treat chylous ascites due to lymphangiomyomatosis when conservative therapy is insufficient.

Abstract
Seventy-nine specimens of lung parenchyma from 61 patients with sarcoidosis were examined ultrastructurally with a focus on alveolitis, and they were compared with specimens of hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) and the percentage of lymphocytes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Lymphocytes and monocytes were frequently observed in the capillary lumina, and these cells and macrophages were found in the interstitium of the alveolar walls in the specimens with alveolitis of sarcoidosis and HP. Increases in the percentage of lymphocytes in BALF correlated with the degree of alveolitis. Swelling and bleb formation of the endothelium of alveolar capillaries and changes in the capillary basement membrane were commonly found and were significantly increased in the specimens with alveolitis. The frequency of bleb formation was significantly higher in alveolitis of sarcoidosis than in that of HP. However, the changes in alveolar epithelium were not significant in sarcoidosis. Microvascular changes in alveolitis are not specific for sarcoidosis, but they are observed in other interstitial lung diseases. These alterations may play an important role in the development of pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Abstract
We have reported that patients with IIP can be roentgenologically grouped into two subtypes, typical (type-A) and atypical (type-B). The characteristic feature of X-ray findings in type-A is marked restriction of the lung, especially of the lower lobes, and in type-B is emphysematous changes in addition to the findings of type-A. In this study, to clarify the pathological findings of these two subtypes, 60 IIP patients in whom open lung biopsy and/or autopsy were performed were studied both clinically and pathologically. The following results were obtained. 1) Pathological features of type-A were alveolitis, marked restriction of the lung secondary to atelectasis and fibrosis of lung parenchyma, and honeycombing as a result of remodeling. 2) The features of type-B were intra-alveolar organization and secondary emphysema after intra-alveolar inflammation (pneumonia) overlapped the pathological changes of type-A. 3) Patients with a history of dust inhalation were much more frequently observed in type-B than in type-A (p < 0.01). These results suggest that inhaled dust may be a causative factor of IIP, especially of type-B.

Abstract
We examined pulmonary vascular involvement in 40 autopsy cases of sarcoidosis. In these cases granulomatous involvement was observed at all levels from large elastic pulmonary arteries to venules, and venous involvement was more prominent than arterial involvement. The extent of granulomatous vascular involvement was related to that of parenchymal granuloma. No significant difference was found between upper and lower lobes in the incidence of granulomatous vascular involvement. The distribution of granulomata in the blood vessels was segmental and adventitial, and medial involvement was prominent in the larger vessels. Healed lesions of granulomatous vascular involvement also were observed at various levels in blood vessels. Prominent granulomatous involvement was found in the lymphatic capillaries and collecting lymphatic vessels in lungs with sarcoidosis. Serial sections of the lungs demonstrated interstitial granuloma directly connecting the lymphatic capillaries around small blood vessels. Granulomatous involvement in vasa vasorum and lymphatic capillaries is likely to be an important factor in the pathogenesis of granulomatous vascular involvement in lungs with sarcoidosis. The present study suggests that granulomatous vascular involvement and its sequelae may contribute to the development of pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Abstract
Clinical criteria for definition of IIP proposed in 1991 by the Project Team for Diffuse Lung Diseases Organized by Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare are reviewed. After the clinical roentgenological, and pathological researches of 92 IIP patients, we concluded that IIP patients were grouped into two clinical types, acute and chronic, by their clinical courses and characteristic pathological findings. The latter is, moreover, grouped into two types, typical and atypical, by their morphological characteristics. The acute type are represented by alveolitis with marked edema and cell infiltration of alveolar wall, and by hyaline membrane formation. "Typical" of chronic types only have typical pathologic changes of interstitial pneumonia and/or fibrosis represented by honeycombing. "Atypical" have both those interstitial changes and intra-alveolar scar formation and fibrosis due to organized pneumonia and secondarily occurred emphysema such as bulla as well. The continuity in clinical courses between acute and chronic types are still obscure.
