Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study proposes and evaluates a scenario wherein cognitive demands experienced at work can amplify the positive cross-lagged association of a shift in control beliefs following changes in episodic memory. METHODS From the Health and Retirement Study (2006-2018) for 9,998 participants aged 50 or above, we used repeated observations of memory and control beliefs, assessed with the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status-modified (TICS-m) and self-mastery and perceived constraints questionnaires. A dual-Latent Change Score Model estimated the cross-lagged effects between memory and control beliefs, separately for individuals with prior high cognitive job demands and those without. RESULTS A decline in memory led to decreased control beliefs in terms of perceived constraints, only among those with experiences in cognitively demanding jobs. DISCUSSION High cognitive job demands may lead to a more cognitively oriented awareness of aging, thus amplifying the impact of memory decline on control constraints.

Abstract
Objectives: This longitudinal study tests whether the Big-Five personality traits influence the changes individuals make in self-rated health (SRH) as they adjust their initial level to account for information on concurrent changes in disease burden, activities of daily living (ADLs), and pain. Methods: A bi-variate Latent Growth Curve model was fitted to data to estimate longitudinal associations between SRH and each health measure across up-to-five repeated observations, collected from the year 2006 to 2018 from 13,096 participants in the Health and Retirement Study. Results: Negative longitudinal associations between SRH and all three health reports were significantly stronger for those who are more conscientious. No significant moderation was found for the other four personality traits. Discussion: Compared to the less conscientious, highly conscientious people may assign greater importance to specific health reports when rating and revising their assessments of SRH. This moderating effect was previously tested but not supported.

Abstract
In socioeconomic attainment, same-sex sexuality (SSS) matters, as well as whether SSS is experienced in adolescence (early) or not until later in adulthood (late). Using data from 8912 participants of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, sexual minorities are identified as the early or late groups. Multilevel regression models were used to compare their income, occupational status, and education separately against heterosexuals, based on repeated measures taken in their 20s, 30s, and 40s. This study found a significant lag in high-school graduation compared to a subgroup of men in the early group that did not express same-sex sexuality in adulthood. Independently, "gay penalty" in income emerged for the late group as they entered their 30s, and persisted into their 40s. No socioeconomic gaps were observed for the women. To serve equity goals for all sexualities, closer attention needs to be given to those with an evolving history of same-sex sexuality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study examines cross-over, time-lagged (cross-lagged) effects of nonintervened changes between mobility limitations and control constraints/self-mastery. METHODS Using the Health and Retirement Study data from the years 2006 to 2016 from 10,690 participants, changes in mobility limitations, control constraints, and self-mastery were analyzed simultaneously with 3 latent change score models, to account for measurement error and pre-existing mobility issues prior to baseline. RESULTS An increase in mobility limitations predicts a decrease in mastery observed in the next interval, but not the other way around. Cross-lagged effects of changes are significant only between control and local mobility limitations concerning upper/lower extremity and associated large muscles. DISCUSSION The results indicate reciprocity between perceived control constraints and local mobility regardless of pre-existing limitations. To better facilitate recovery and prevention, future intervention designs should consider alleviating control constraints in addition to improving self-mastery.

Abstract
Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, this study contrasted levels of Allostatic Load at the baseline and change observed between the age 20s and 30s, among self-identified Lesbians/Gays/Bisexuals and heterosexuals with non-heterosexual attraction/behavior (discordant heterosexuals), against heterosexuals without (concordant heterosexuals). In addition, the study tested if Allostatic Load differs for each of the sexual orientation group differs jointly or independently of gender non-conformity. The study found no Allostatic Load elevation for self-identified non-heterosexual men and women. For women only, a significantly greater elevation of Allostatic Load is observed among discordant heterosexuals. Independently, Allostatic Load is found higher for females appearing more androgynous. The findings suggest expanding the current scope of sexual minority research to consider the relevance of minority stress to those without a LGB identity, who may be exposed to stress from disparate sources related to their gender identity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To better understand the temporal dynamics of progression from cognitive decline to onset of dementia in the dementia-free older population in the United States. METHODS We used longitudinal data from a diverse national population-based sample of older adults (N = 531) in the Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study from the Health and Retirement Study with repeated measures of cognitive function and dementia diagnosis during 12 years of follow-up from 1996 to 2009. We employed joint latent class mixed models to estimate the association between cognitive change and competing risks of dementia and nondementia death and identify heterogeneity in the age profiles of such association adjusting for baseline characteristics. RESULTS Our analyses found 3 latent classes with distinct age profiles of cognitive decline and associated risk of dementia and mortality: "Rapid Cognitive Decline" (19.6%), "Moderate Progression" (44.6%), and "Optimal Cognitive Aging" (35.8%). When simultaneously accounting for cognitive trajectories and time-to-dementia/death, we also found associations of baseline covariates with slope of cognitive decline (e.g., steeper decline among non-Hispanic Blacks and more educated) and risk of dementia (e.g., greater risk for females and apolipoprotein E-4 carriers, but no difference by education level) that differ substantially from those in separate longitudinal mixed models or survival models. DISCUSSION The differential age patterns of cognitive decline predicting dementia incidences identified in this study suggest variation in the course of cognitive aging in older adults that may inform future etiological and intervention studies.

Abstract
This study traced all-cause mortality risk over the course of retirement and tested whether re-retirement impacts mortality risk differently than the first time. The study differentiated retirement on whether prompted by health (health retirement) or not (non-health retirement). Based on data from 1992 to 2016 Health and Retirement Study (HRS), the sample consists of 7747 women and 7958 men who were working at the baseline. Adjusting for physical health before/after retirement, the discrete-time logit model found increased mortality risk within the first year of non-health retirement only for men, regardless of physical health changes. Re-retirement did not raise mortality risk further. Furthermore, health retirement increased mortality for men and women but substantially less after their surviving the first year. The findings urge future study to explore non-physical pathways of an immediate mortality increase for men in retirement, as well as the monitoring of population trends in health retirement and its antecedents.

Abstract
Many studies document significant causal impacts of retirement on cognitive abilities. It remains unclear if cognitive functioning could be hindered in post-retirement due to heightened physiological responses to stress. Using repeated observations of biomarkers, retirement status, and the word-recall test score from the Health and Retirement Study (n = 25,367; 15,343 among women and 10,024 among men), the study tests this pathway, separately for men and women. The study employs the two-stage least squares fixed-effects model that simultaneously fits three equations predicting the total-recall score, cardio-metabolic risk index, and retirement status. Being retired for at least a year decreases cardio-metabolic risk for men and women, and the resulting relief of cardio-metabolic risk improves cognitive functioning for women but not for men. Retirement does not lead to a downward health spiral as previously suggested; rather, it provides a much needed relief from stressors for those who are at health risks.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Drug-eluting stent restenosis (DES-ISR) is associated with poorer outcomes than those of bare-metal stent restenosis after treatment with paclitaxel-coated balloon (PCB), and late restenosis after PCB angioplasty for DES-ISR is a residual problem. Excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) is thought to be advantageous for ISR treatment by removing neointima. However, whether the combination of ELCA and PCB angioplasty is more effective than the use of PCB only angioplasty in DES-ISR has not been studied so far.
Purpose
We evaluated the efficacy of ELCA and PCB combination therapy for DES-ISR at mid-and late-term after revascularization.
Methods
From January 2014 to March 2016, 166 DES-ISR lesions were treated with ELCA and no-ELCA prior to PCB. Two serial angiographic follow-ups were planned for the patients (at 6–12 and 18–24 months after procedure). Acute procedural and follow-up angiographic results were assessed by quantitative coronary angiography. ELCA and no-ELCA group included 74 lesions and 92 lesions, respectively.
Results
There was no significant difference between the two groups in the clinical characteristics except the prevalence of hemodialysis, the rate of first-generation DES (37.9% vs 36.8%, p=0.897), previous stent size (2.90±0.39 mm vs 2.77±0.39 mm, p=0.063), and reference vessel diameter (2.65±0.46 mm vs 2.60±0.65 mm, p=0.593). Early follow-up angiography was performed in 66 lesions (89.1%) of ELCA group, and was done in 76 lesions (82.6%) of no-ELCA group. In the ELCA group, percentage diameter stenosis (%DS) just after procedure and at 6–12 months later were significantly smaller than those of no-ELCA group. Besides, target lesion revascularization (TLR) rate at 6–12 months after procedure was tended to be lower in the ELCA group. Late follow-up angiography was performed for 93 lesions (81.6%) of the remaining 114 lesions (excluding TLR lesion), late restenosis was found 9 lesions (18.6%) in the ELCA group and 11 lesions (24.4%) in the no-ELCA group (p=0.504). Late luminal loss was similar in both groups (0.37±0.71 mm vs 0.24±0.82 mm, p=0.438), and %DS at 12–18 months after revascularization was not different between the two groups.
Changes of %DS and TLR rate
Conclusions
%DS in the ELCA group was smaller at just after procedure and the advantage was kept even after 1-year. However, late restenosis and TLR at 2-year after revascularization for DES-ISR could not be reduced by ELCA and PCB combination therapy.

Abstract
Socioeconomic conditions in childhood predict cognitive functioning in later life. It is unclear whether poor childhood socioeconomic status (SES) also predicts the acceleration of cognitive decline. One proposed pathway is via cardiometabolic risk, which has been linked to both childhood SES and earlier onset of cognitive impairment. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, we examine the impact of childhood SES on cognitive trajectories over six years and test whether it operates through increased cardiometabolic risk and adult SES. We find that higher childhood SES leads to slower cognitive decline, partially due to lower levels of cardiometabolic risk. However, these pathways operate entirely through adult socioeconomic attainment. The results have important implications for future trends in cognitive population health within the context of growing social inequality and reduced social mobility.

Abstract
Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4-immunoglobulin (CTLA-4-Ig) exerts anti-rheumatic action via negative regulation of the co-stimulation process between antigen-presenting cells and T cells. CTLA-4-Ig also binds to CD80/CD86 on monocytes of osteoclast precursors. However, little is known about the effect of CTLA-4-Ig on osteoclastogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study we evaluated the effects of CTLA-4-Ig on osteoclast generation from human blood monocytes (PBM) and rheumatoid synovial fluid monocytes (RSFM). Highly purified monocytes were cultured with receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) in the presence of CTLA-4-Ig. CTLA-4-Ig inhibited RANKL-induced osteoclast generation in PBM and RSFM, as determined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining and bone resorption assay using osteo assay surface plates. In addition, CTLA-4-Ig reduced the gene and protein expressions of nuclear factor of activated T cells, cytoplasmic 1 (NFATc1) and cathepsin K during osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, CTLA-4-Ig significantly inhibited cell proliferation during osteoclastogenesis. Interestingly, the gene expression of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase-1, an inducer of apoptosis, was enhanced by CTLA-4-Ig. We next examined the effect of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, a major inflammatory cytokine in rheumatoid synovium, on the expression of CD80 and CD86 by flow cytometric analysis. TNF-α potently induced the surface expression of CD80, which is known to have much higher affinity to CTLA-4-Ig than CD86, and this induction was observed at mRNA levels. Interestingly, freshly prepared rheumatoid synovial monocytes also expressed CD80 as much as TNF-α-treated PBM. Furthermore, TNF-α enhanced CTLA-4-Ig-induced inhibition of osteoclastogenesis and cell proliferation. Taken together, the TNF-α-induced CD80 may augment CTLA-4-Ig-induced inhibition of osteoclastogenesis, suggesting that CTLA-4-Ig potently inhibits osteoclast differentiation and protects bone destruction in rheumatoid inflamed joints.

Abstract
Prior research on change in cognitive performance before and after retirement suffers from inattention to gender context. This study theoretically motivates the testing of gender differences in cognitive decline after retirement. I drew 67,905 observations of cognitive function based on the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status from 18,453 participants (7,830 men and 10,623 women) in the Health and Retirement Study (1992-2014). I used fixed-effects two-stage least square models to account for unobserved heterogeneity between men and women in the sample and the endogeneity of retirement decision. I also controlled for change in depressive symptoms, mobility limitations, individual wealth, medical expenses, and spousal income. Retirement predicts a decrease in the cognitive score by 2.168 on a scale of 0-35 for women, but no change for men. Continued employment may buffer against risk factors that aggravate women's cognitive health.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-cognitive skills, particularly in terms of risk-aversion, future-orientation, and conscientiousness, grow with age, and this phenomenon is known as personality maturation. However, significant variability in maturation among individuals exists. The technology of cognitive/non-cognitive skill formation suggests that the growth of non-cognitive skills is contingent on cognitive skills or human capital in general. The completion of formal education is a quintessential form of human capital. The aim of this study is to test whether formal education indeed facilitates the improvement of non-cognitive skills during early adulthood and adulthood.] METHODS: I used data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. The study sample consists of 9291 individuals, representative of U.S. adolescents in grades 7 through 12 in 1994. The longitudinal design of the data allowed the repeated measurement of their non-cognitive skills in adolescence (age < 18), early adulthood (between 18 and 25) and then in adulthood (>25). I used Latent Score Difference modeling to examine whether advancement in formal education through degree completion predicts within-individual change in non-cognitive skills in early adulthood and adulthood. RESULTS A steady increase in non-cognitive skills beyond adolescence was found. Independently of academic engagement during high school, parental socio-economic status, and adolescent non-cognitive skills, degree completion reported in early adulthood coincides with gains in non-cognitive skills since adolescence, and this positive feedback repeats itself in adulthood. CONCLUSIONS Continued schooling facilitates personality maturation beyond adolescence. Given the profound effects of non-cognitive skills on various life outcomes, educational opportunities could alleviate social stratification.

Abstract
The fluidity of same-sex experience (SSE) can be conceptualized as both a risk and a resource that impacts suicidal ideation over time. Considering whether SSE occurs in adolescence, adulthood, or both, this study suggests that SSE in both adolescence and adulthood is associated with depression and low self-esteem throughout the life course, resulting in chronic susceptibility to suicidal ideation. Yet due to variation in both accumulation of risk and resources over time, trajectories of suicidal ideation during the transition to adulthood likely vary by timing of SSE. To test these hypotheses, we fit latent growth curve models to a gender-stratified sample taken from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (7608 men, 8070 women). We created four groups of SSE: no SSE (6322 men, 5981 women), SSE in adolescence only (634 men, 480 women), SSE in adulthood only (372 men, 1081 women), and SSE in adolescence and adulthood (280 men, 528 women). Men and women with SSE in both life stages had the greatest risk of suicidal ideation in adolescence and in adulthood. Yet women with first SSE in adulthood had less of a decline in suicidal ideation over time, relative to those with no SSE and those with SSE in adolescence only, and this was partially due to higher depression and lower self-esteem. Results suggest greater support is needed for adolescents expressing non-normative sexualities and for those with first SSE in adulthood, a group that is more difficult to identify in schools.

Abstract
The developmental origins of health and disease and the comparative international approach are two important strands of research exploring population health. Despite the potential insights to be gained from integrating the two approaches, their nexus remains an underexplored frontier. The current study investigates international variation in the early life origins of health among aging cohorts in 13 countries. We examine cross-national differences in exposure to poor childhood health and socioeconomic disadvantage, whether the long-term health associations with those exposures vary across contexts, and whether they persist in the face of subsequent accumulation of socioeconomic and behavioral risk. Finally, we investigate whether childhood health and socioeconomic circumstances help explain between-country differences in later life health. The findings suggest substantial international variation in the exposure to early life health and socioeconomic insults. We also find variation in their association with later life health. However, early life factors appear to play a modest role in explaining international differences in later life health in the contexts examined here.

Abstract
In recent years, population health research has focused on understanding the determinants of later-life health. Two strands of that work have focused on (1) international comparisons of later-life health and (2) assessing the early-life origins of disease and disability and the importance of life course processes. However, the less frequently examined intersection of these approaches remains an important frontier. The present study contributes to the integration of these approaches. We use the Health and Retirement Study family of data sets and a cohort dynamic approach to compare functional health trajectories across 12 high-income countries and to examine the role of life course processes and cohort dynamics in contributing to variation in those trajectories. We find substantial international variation in functional health trajectories and an important role of cohort dynamics in generating that variation, with younger cohorts often less healthy at comparable ages than the older cohorts they are replacing. We further find evidence of heterogeneous effects of life course processes on health trajectories. The results have important implications for future trends in morbidity and mortality as well as public policy.

Abstract
Previous research suggests higher levels of education instill a greater sense of internal control that promotes health in adulthood. We propose that the sense of control has its origins in early childhood and that prior research has possibly misattributed a mediational role to sense of control in adulthood. Using a conceptual framework that includes these early influences, we employ data from the 1970 British Cohort Study ( N = 9,855), examining the extent to which the association between education and adult health is spurious due to these early childhood factors. We find that the internal sense of control as assessed in childhood and adolescence has profound influences on both education and health in early adulthood and that a substantial portion of the latter association is spurious. We conclude that the sense of control is an important health-related factor originating early in life, influencing both health and education later in adulthood.

Abstract
The coordination between nasal breathing and non-nutritive swallowing serves as a protective reflex against potentially asphyxiating material, i.e. saliva and secretions, entering the respiratory tract. Although this protective reflex is influenced by positional changes in the head and body, the effect of mandible position on this reflex is not fully understood. We examined the effect of mandible advancement associated with mouth opening on the coordination between nasal breathing and non-nutritive swallowing induced by continuous infusion of distilled water into the pharyngeal cavity. The combination of mandible advancement and mouth opening increased the duration of swallowing apnoea and submental electromyographic burst duration. When the mandible was advanced with the mouth open, the duration of swallowing apnoea increased significantly compared with the centric position (0.79 +/- 0.23 vs. 0.64 +/- 0.12 s, P < 0.05, n = 12), and the duration of submental electromyographic activity increased significantly (2.11 +/- 0.63 vs. 1.46 +/- 0.25 s, P < 0.05, n = 12). Mandible advancement with mouth opening altered the respiratory phase resetting during swallowing and the timing of swallow in relation to respiratory cycle phase. We conclude that mandible re-positioning may strongly influence the coordination between nasal breathing and non-nutritive swallowing by altering respiratory parameters and by inhibiting movement of the tongue-jaw complex.

Abstract
Chin-tuck position and reclining posture have been used in dysphagia patients to prevent aspiration during swallowing. However, both behavioural treatments may affect respiratory function. This study was carried out to test the hypothesis that if chin-tuck posture and body reclining affected respiratory function, this would be associated with altered coordination between respiration and swallowing. To investigate this hypothesis, respiratory parameters and manometry were used in each of four combinations of reclining posture and chin-tuck position. In the 60 degrees reclining with 60 degrees chin-tuck position, duration of swallowing apnea (0.89 s.d. 0.17 s) and submental electromyography burst (2.34 s.d. 0.84 s) were significantly longer when compared to both upright sitting and 30 degrees reclining positions. We conclude that 60 degrees reclining from vertical with 60 degrees chin-tuck may affect oral processing stages which delay and reduce a variety of oropharyngeal movements. These in turn significantly influence the coordination between respiration and swallowing.

Abstract
Carney complex is a rare syndrome which includes cardiac myxoma, hyperactive endocrine neoplasm, spotty pigmented skin, and extracardiac myxomatous tumors. We report a case of a 26-year-old woman with Carney complex in whom recurrent multiple cardiac myxomas were resected 4 years after the first operation for left atrial (LA) myxoma. She had a history of left adrenalectomy in 1997 for Cushing syndrome due to primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD). In February 2001, she was diagnosed with Carney complex because of evidence of LA myxoma, her spotty pigmented skin lesions, her past history and family history of cardiac myxoma in her mother. Then, LA myxoma was successfully resected through the superior trans-septal approach and has been followed-up by ultrasound cardiography (UCG) every 6-month after discharge. In January 2005, UCG revealed 2 masses in the LA and the right ventricle outflow tract. The 2nd surgery was performed in February 2005. We found the 3rd myxoma during surgery, resembling a flat polyp in the LA just at the inflow of the right upper pulmonary vein. All 3 myxomas were successfully resected. Sixteen months after the 2nd operation, she has been doing well without any sign of recurrence of myxoma.

Abstract
It has been proposed that a titration of the mandibular positioner would be a promising method for predicting the outcome of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy. This study was carried out to test the hypothesis that mandible advancement could be evaluated by analysis of inspiratory flow limitation using a titration procedure. To explore its effect, we examined upper airway pressure-flow relationships using a titrated mandible positioner during midazolam sedation. Non-flow limited inspiration occurred when the mandible was advanced 7.1 +/- 1.2 mm from centric occlusion position. In the centric occlusion position (0 mm advancement), Pcrit was -1.9 +/- 2.9 cmH2O and Rua was 23.3 +/- 4.5 cmH2O L(-1) s(-1). In the eMAP position, Pcrit was -7.3 +/- 1.9 cmH2O and Rua was 27.8 +/- 3.3 cmH2O L(-1) s(-1). Essentially no CPAP was required to overcome flow limitation in eMAP position, whereas 3.7 +/- 2.2 cmH2O CPAP was required in centric occlusion position. We conclude that assessing inspiratory flow limitation using a titrated mandible positioner was effective for estimating individual-matched mandible positions.

Abstract
It has been proposed that advancement of the mandible is a useful method for decreasing upper airway collapsibility. We carried out this study to test the hypothesis that mandibular advancement induces changes in upper airway patency during midazolam sedation. To explore its effect, we examined upper airway pressure-flow relationships in each of 4 conditions of mouth position in normal, healthy subjects (n = 9). In the neutral position, Pcrit (i.e., critical closing pressure, an index of upper airway collapsibility) was -4.2 cm H(2)O, and upstream resistance (Rua) was 21.2 cm H(2)O/L/sec. In the centric occlusal position, Pcrit was -7.1 cm H(2)O, and Rua was 16.6 cm H(2)O/L/sec. In the incisor position, Pcrit was significantly reduced to -10.7 cm H(2)O, and Rua was significantly reduced to 14.0 cm H(2)O/L/sec. Mandibular advancement significantly decreased Pcrit to -13.3 cm H(2)O, but did not significantly influence Rua (22.1 cm H(2)O/L/sec). We conclude that the mandibular incisors' position improved airway patency and decreased resistance during midazolam sedation.

Abstract
Sedative doses of anesthetic agents affect upper-airway function. Oral-maxillofacial surgery is frequently performed on sedated patients whose mouths must be as open as possible if the procedures are to be accomplished successfully. We examined upper-airway pressure-flow relationships in closed mouths, mouths opened moderately, and mouths opened maximally to test the hypothesis that mouth-opening compromises upper-airway patency during midazolam sedation. From these relationships, upper-airway critical pressure (Pcrit) and upstream resistance (Rua) were derived. Maximal mouth-opening increased Pcrit to -3.6 +/- 2.9 cm H2O compared with -8.7 +/- 2.8 (p = 0.002) for closed mouths and -7.2 +/- 4.1 (p = 0.038) for mouths opened moderately. In contrast, Rua was similar in all three conditions (18.4 +/- 6.6 vs. 17.7 +/- 7.6 vs. 21.5 +/- 11.6 cm H2O/L/sec). Moreover, maximum mouth-opening produced an inspiratory airflow limitation at atmosphere that was eliminated when nasal pressure was adjusted to 4.3 +/- 2.7 cm H2O. We conclude that maximal mouth-opening increases upper-airway collapsibility, which contributes to upper-airway obstruction at atmosphere during midazolam sedation.

Abstract
AIMS Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) play a role in local anti-tumour immunity. Tumour cells may escape from immune surveillance by expressing RCAS1, a receptor-binding cancer antigen expressed on SiSo cells, which inhibits T cell growth. In this study, the correlation between the density of CD8+ TILs, tumour cell apoptosis, and tumour RCAS1 expression was investigated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS We obtained tissues from 60 patients with surgically resected HCCs. CD8+ TILS, apoptotic cancer cells, and RCAS1 expressing cancer cells were identified by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS The density of CD8+ T cells in tumours (mean: 9.5/HPF, HPF: high power field) was significantly less than in non-cancerous hepatic lobules (17.8/HPF, p<0.001) and in relation to the progression of tumour stage. The density of CD8+ T cells in tumours positively correlated with the occurrence of tumour cell apoptosis, but did not correlate with RCAS1 protein expression. CONCLUSIONS CD8+ TILs may play a role in the occurrence of tumour cell apoptosis in HCC, but CD8+ TILs may not be controlled by RCAS1 in HCC.

Abstract
A 45 year-old male underwent lower left third molar extraction under intravenous sedation. During the surgical extraction of the mandibular left impacted third molar using a high-speed air-turbine drill, the patient complained of compression at the level of the right breast without any abnormal vital signs. Radiological investigation and CT scan showed a picture of bilateral, subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema involving the bilateral face, neck and pectoral area. Following the antibiotic therapy, the drainage was performed through bilateral pectoral incisions by thoracic surgery. The patient recovered within two days and underwent the completion of this surgery under general anesthesia one month later.

Abstract
The efficacy of atorvastatin, a new hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG)-CoA reductase inhibitor, in reducing serum lipid levels, modifying lipoprotein composition, and suppressing cholesterol synthesis was evaluated in patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (homozygous FH) undergoing LDL-apheresis therapy. Atorvastatin was given in escalating doses (10, 20, and 40 mg/day) to nine patients with homozygous FH. Five of nine patients responded well to atorvastatin; four of these patients were receptor-defective and the remaining one was receptor-negative. The change in LDL-cholesterol in the receptor-defective patients averaged -20.6% compared to the baseline level at the highest dose of atorvastatin. Of five receptor-negative type patients, only one showed good response to atorvastatin therapy with a LDL-cholesterol reduction of 14.9%. Although the other four receptor-negative patients did not show a change in LDL-cholesterol, all of them exhibited a considerable increase in HDL-cholesterol. All patients showed reduced urinary excretion of mevalonic acid, suggesting that atorvastatin decreases LDL-cholesterol by inhibiting cholesterol biosynthesis even where LDL-receptor activity is not present. Atorvastatin also decreased serum triglycerides in both receptor-negative and defective patients, especially in the latter. As cholesterol level rebounds quickly after each apheresis procedure, a combination therapy using atorvastatin and apheresis may increase the efficacy of the apheresis treatment, improving cost-benefit effectiveness by reducing the frequency of the apheresis treatment.

Abstract
We report a rare case of Klinefelter's syndrome (KS) with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), diabetes mellitus (DM) and several endocrine disorders. A 57-year-old man presented with polyarthritis and tapering fingers with Raynaud's phenomenon on admission. In addition to a karyotype of 47, XXY, a marked restrictive change in respiratory functional test, a myogenic pattern in electromyogram, the positive tests for anti-RNP antibody indicated that this was a case of KS complicated with MCTD. The patients also presented DM with insulin resistance, hyperprolactinemia, slight primary hypothyroidism and hypoadrenocorticism. The mechanism for these coincidences remains to be elucidated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It has been reported that remnant lipoproteins and small, dense low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. To determine whether these risk factors are present in hemodialysis (HD) patients who are suffering from a high incidence of atherosclerotic vascular disease, we measured concentrations of remnant lipoproteins and LDL particle diameter in HD patients and compared these with controls. We also measured lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic triglyceride lipase (HTGL) that play important roles in the generation of remnant lipoproteins and small, dense LDL, and we correlated these changes with plasma lipoprotein abnormalities in HD patients. METHODS Lipoproteins were separated by ultracentrifugation. Apoprotein B in very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) fractions were measured by a sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. The average LDL particle diameter was measured by gradient gel electrophoresis. RESULTS Plasma triglyceride, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol concentrations were comparable between HD patients and controls, whereas LDL cholesterol was significantly lower in HD patients. The average LDL particle diameter was not significantly different between HD patients and controls. LDL particle diameter was inversely related to plasma triglyceride concentrations in all of the subjects. VLDL triglyceride, VLDL cholesterol, and VLDL apoprotein B were comparable between HD patients and controls. IDL triglyceride, IDL cholesterol, and IDL apoprotein B concentrations were all significantly increased in HD patients compared with those in controls. LPL mass was not altered, but HTGL activity was significantly decreased in HD patients. The HTGL activity was inversely related to IDL concentrations. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that a prominent characteristic of lipoprotein abnormalities in HD patients is a marked increase in IDL particle number. In addition, small, dense LDL is not associated with uremic dyslipidemia. Because HTGLs promote the conversion from IDL to LDL and the generation of lipid-poor LDL, a decrease in HTGL activity may contribute to the accumulation of IDL particle and may prevent small, dense LDL formation in HD patients.

Abstract
To determine whether high prevalence of small dense low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in non-insulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM) with nephropathy is directly associated with kidney damage, we measured LDL particle size by non-denaturing 2-16% gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in non-diabetic patients with primary renal disease and compared the results to particle size in NIDDM patients with diabetic nephropathy. The average LDL particle diameter was significantly smaller in patients with diabetic nephropathy (245+/-3 A mean +/- SEM) compared to the controls (263+/-1 A), diabetics without nephropathy (257+/-2 A), patients with primary renal disease (254+/-2 A) or non-diabetic patients treated with hemodialysis (HD) (260+/-1 A). The incidence of small LDL (mean diameter is < or =255 A) was remarkably increased in diabetic nephropathy (67%) compared to diabetes without nephropathy (27%), patients with renal disease (24%), HD patients (15%) and controls (10%). LDL size in patients with primary renal disease was significantly smaller than those in controls. However, because there was an excellent correlation between LDL size and plasma triglyceride (TG) levels, when hypertriglyceridemic subjects (TG >1.7 mM) were excluded, no difference of LDL size was observed between the renal disease group (260+/-2 A) and the control group (264+/-1 A). On the other hand, even when hypertriglyceridemic subjects were excluded, LDL size was still smaller in diabetic nephropathy (250+/-4 A). We performed an oral fat load test in normotriglyceridemic subjects (fasting TG <1.7 mM) of control, diabetes with and without nephropathy and primary renal disease. The TG responses in plasma and TG-rich-lipoprotein (TRL) (d <1.006) after the oral fat load were significantly greater in NIDDMs with nephropathy compared to controls or NIDDMs without nephropathy, while such a marked postprandial lipemia was not observed in patients with primary renal disease. In these fasting normotriglyceridemic subjects, LDL size was significantly inversely correlated with postprandial TG responses, which is totally independent from fasting TG levels. These results suggest that high prevalence of small dense LDL in NIDDM patients with nephropathy is not directly associated with kidney damage. Postprandial lipemia may play an important role in reducing LDL particle size in these patients.

Abstract
Alloxan monohydrate (ALX) was given to rats (20 mg/100 g body weight) and plasma glucose (PG), immunoreactive insulin (IRI), immunoreactive glucagon (IRG), and catecholamine (CA) as well as the glycogen (G) content in the liver, muscle, and kidneys were measured. Although whether hypoglycemia was present immediately after injection was not clear, the PG level increased, with a modest peak after 2 h. The PG levels in rats receiving food 6 h after ALX injection increased substantially after 1 h and continued to increase after 24 h. Although the IRI level increased slightly 10 min after the injection, low amounts were present for up to 24 h due to continued fasting. There was a rise in the IRG level at 10 min after injection, and then it decreased again slowly to a low level during fasting. No change was observed in the CA level. Hepatic G further decreased at 30 min after ALX injection and started to increase from 2 h to a peak level after 18 h. Almost no changes were noted in muscle tissues. The G content in the renal cortex remained almost unchanged, although it tended to decrease slightly after 8 h. When rats were fed 6 h after ALX injection, the IRI level rose slightly. Hepatic G at 6 h after feeding was nearly equal to that during feeding itself, but it then decreased rapidly. Muscular G became equal to that during feeding. Renal G showed a clear tendency to increase 6 h after feeding and became about four times that during periods when rats were fed ad lib. In conclusion, not only PG, IRI, and IRG, but also tissue G levels were shown to change markedly in the early stage of ALX induced diabetes.

Abstract
We examined the effect of propofol, an injectable anesthetic agent on conflict behavior in a Vogel type conflict test and on release of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) in the dorsal hippocampus using an in vivo microdialysis method in rats. Propofol (20 and 40 mg/kg, i.p.) dose-dependently suppressed elevated 5-HT release normally seen in a conflict situation and concomitantly attenuated conflict behavior. These findings suggest that propofol exerts an antianxiety action by inhibiting 5-HT neuronal activity in the dorsal hippocampus.

Abstract
The release of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) in the dorsal hippocampus was measured using an in vivo microdialysis method in rats subjected to the Vogel type conflict test. The conflict situation significantly increased 5-HT release in the dorsal hippocampus. Midazolam (0.75 and 1.5 mg/kg i.p.) suppressed the dosage-dependently this increased 5-HT release, an inhibition closely associated with the attenuation of conflict behavior. These findings suggest that the activation of serotonergic neuronal activity in the dorsal hippocampus is linked to mediation of anxiety-related behavior.

Abstract
Clinical effects of an anti-platelet drug (dilazep dihydrochloride) in the microalbuminuric stage of diabetic nephropathy were investigated in a multi-center study. Thirty-seven patients with at the microalbuminuric stage of diabetic nephropathy were examined in the present study. They were administered 300 mg/day of dilazep dihydrochloride (Comelian-Kowa) orally for 6 months. Mean values of albuminuria after the administration of dilazep dihydrochloride were significantly decreased compared with the pre-administration values. Urinary NAG activity was improved after this treatment in the microalbuminuric stage of diabetic nephropathy. Furthermore, impairment of renal function was not observed at that stage. It appears that administration of dilazep dihydrochloride from the early stage of diabetic nephropathy may be useful for the improvement of albuminuria and prevention of renal dysfunction.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the possibility of using sevoflurane for inhalation sedation. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-five volunteers were divided randomly into two groups: sevoflurane group (n = 20) and nitrous oxide (N2O) group (n = 15). At the beginning of the sedation they all inhaled 100% O2, then a 0.1 minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane or 10% N2O with oxygen, a 0.2 MAC of sevoflurane or 20% N2O with oxygen, and 0.3 MAC of sevoflurane or 30% N2O with oxygen for 10 minutes each. RESULTS The respiratory and cardiovascular functions were stable during inhalation of the gas mixtures. There were five negative comments about breathing N2O, but none about breathing sevoflurane. CONCLUSION All subjects in the sevoflurane group stated they would be willing to submit to the same inhalation procedure again.

Abstract
To understand the modulation of periodontal mechanoreceptor activity on mastication, the jaw-opening reflex (JOR) evoked by electrical stimulation of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) was studied during chewing in freely behaving rabbits. Spontaneous chewing movements were intact from the IAN stimulation below two times the threshold (T) which was measured at rest. As the stimulus intensity was increased to more than 2.5 T, the amplitude of the masseter activity decreased or it was abolished; however, the chewing rhythm was still maintained up to 3.0 T. When the low-threshold primary afferents were tested while the rabbit chewed pellets rhythmically, the amplitude in the JOR was inhibited below the prior control level. The inhibitory effect on the JOR was larger in the opening phase than that in the closing phase. In conclusion, the JOR was tonically depressed during the masticatory cycle and the inhibition of the JOR was rhythmically modulated in a phase-linked manner that was larger in the opening phase than in the closing phase.

Abstract
To develop an anesthesia maintenance method that could be expected to maintain a reasonably stable state during dental treatment of the handicapped, three methods (N2O/O2 [0% enflurane (E), n = 12], N2O/O2/0.6% E [n = 8], N2O/O2/1.5% E [n = 7]) were evaluated in terms of changes in plasma levels of cortisol, epinephrine (EP), and norepinephrine (NE). During a treatment period of 60 minutes, cortisol levels increased in the 0% E group (from 9.5 +/- 1.8 micrograms/dL to 19.4 +/- 2.4 micrograms/dL, P less than .01), did not change in 0.6% E group, and decreased in 1.5% E group (from 9.3 +/- 1.7 micrograms/dL to 5.8 +/- 1.0 micrograms/dL, P less than .01). Epinephrine and NE levels increased in the 0% E group, but were suppressed in the 0.6% E and 1.5% E groups. It is suggested that N2O/O2 inhalation anesthesia supplemented with low-dose enflurane produces a stable state during dental treatment with respect to cortisol, EP, and NE responses.

Abstract
Electrical stimuli were applied to subjects' upper and/or lower gingivae around the right canines; (i) during maintained relaxation of masticatory muscles; (ii) at an active opening position; (iii) while clenching in an incisal edge-to-edge contact (IEC) position; and (iv) at the wide-open position. Reflex responses of the suprahyoid and jaw-closing muscles were obtained using surface electrodes. The electrical stimulation produced segmented reflex excitation(s) in the suprahyoid muscle and conventional reflex excitation and/or inhibition in the jaw-closing muscles when some background activity was maintained in the muscle(s). The excitatory reflex in the suprahyoid muscle responded to multiple site electrical stimulation which was delivered on both the upper and lower jaw simultaneously rather than to single site stimulation. Also, the responses depended on the intensity of the electrical stimulation. In particular, stronger intensities resulted in longer latencies. The results support the suggestions in our previous studies with mechanical stimuli, i.e. that the human jaw-opening reflex can be obtained only when some background activity is maintained in the jaw openers, perhaps due to low threshold afferent input, and that spatial summation may be effective for the reflex.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine effects on blood flow by alteration of blood pressure resulting from noxious stimuli. The experiment was carried out in anesthetized and paralyzed rabbits. Blood pressure was measured through a teflon catheter inserted in the common carotid artery (CCA). Blood flow at the CCA, internal carotid artery (ICA), or external carotid artery (ECA) was measured using an electromagnetic flowmeter placed at the CCA. The effects of pinching and electrical stimuli upon the blood pressure and flow were tested. Blood pressure at all three arteries decreased transiently from these noxious stimulations. There were no statistical changes in the blood flows respectively. However, different mechanism could exist between ECA and ICA because blood flow of ECA was decreased and that of ICA was increased or had no change. We concluded that vascular resistance reduction in the ICA against the arterial pressure decrement produced by noxious stimuli may be a control mechanism to keep cerebral blood flow constant. In contrast, there may be no such mechanism in the ECA circulation.
