Insufficient physical function is strongly associated with decreased activity of daily living and health-related quality of life in middle-aged and older women. YOSAKOI Soran is one of the traditional Japanese dances to have naruko (wooden hand clappers) in their hands as they dance and incorporate the phrase from the Soran Bushi in their song. YOSAKOI Soran festivals can be seen being held in various places across the country, proving its growing popularity with residents as a celebration regardless of age or occupation. The purpose of this study was to examine the cross-sectional associations between YOSAKOI Soran and the physical functions of middle-aged and older women. A total of 30 middle-aged and older women practicing YOSAKOI Soran (YOSAKOI group) and 163 middle-aged and older women who had not practiced YOSAKOI Soran (control group) participated in this cross-sectional study. Handgrip strength, 30-second chair stand performance, and flexibility were used to measure physical functions. Handgrip strength was not significantly differed between the YOSAKOI group and the control group (P = 0.79). 30-second chair stand performance and flexibility were significantly higher in the YOSAKOI group than in the control group (both P < 0.05). These results remained significant after adjusting for age and body mass index (both P < 0.05). The present results suggest that practicing YOSAKOI Soran may increase lower extremity function and flexibility in middle-aged and older women.

褐色細胞腫は内分泌疾患の中で,その進歩において最も著しく,今世紀になって全く概念が変わってしまった疾患といってもよい。その主な理由は,遺伝的なバックグランドが急速に明らかにされた点に尽きる。すなわち,以下の3点に集約される。①新しい原因遺伝子SDHBおよびSDHDの発見,②臨床的に散発性でも潜在的に遺伝性である可能性があること,③悪性化と関係する遺伝子(SDHB)が判明したこと。さらに最近2〜3年間でもSDHA,SDHAF2,TMEM127,MAXと4つの原因遺伝子が同定されており,結果的に主なものでも計10種類の多数の原因遺伝子が知られるようになった。これら遺伝的な原因で引き起こされる褐色細胞腫・パラガングリオーマを遺伝性褐色細胞腫・パラガングリオーマ症候群(Hereditary pheochromocytoma/ paraganglioma syndrome(「HPPS」))と呼ぶことがある。褐色細胞腫は10%病とも呼ばれるが,殊に「遺伝性の頻度」に関しては,この有名な法則は既に実情に即してない。今後,遺伝子診断がHPPSの診断のみならず,分子標的薬投与などの治療方針決定にも重要な時代が遠からずやってくるはずである(個別化医療)。本稿では,その臨床的な重要性に鑑みてSDHB,D変異による「HPPS」に重点を置いて紹介する。

To determine the effect of taurine on blood glucose concentration during prolonged exercise, fifteen male university students cycled for 120 min at 50%VO2max after 7 days with or without taurine supplementation. Exercise tended to reduce the blood glucose concentration, whereas taurine significantly prevented this decline. Exercise significantly increased plasma glucagon concentrations in both groups to a similar degree. Serum insulin concentrations did not differ during exercise under both conditions. Taurine supplementation respectively significantly inhibited and tended to inhibit the plasma noradrenaline and adrenaline concentrations increased by exercise. These results suggest that taurine supplementation can maintain the blood glucose concentration during prolonged exercise through enhanced catecholamine sensitivity.
