Oils and lipids are common food components and efficient sources of energy. Both the quantity and the quality of oils and lipids are important with regard to health and disease. Fatty acid ester of hydroxy fatty acid (FAHFA) is a novel lipid class that was discovered as an endogenous lipid; FAHFAs have shown anti-diabetic effects in a mammalian system. We analyzed the overall FAHFA composition in nut oils and other common oils: almond (raw, roasted), walnut, peanut, olive, palm, soybean, and rapeseed oils. We developed a method of liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS/MS) for a comprehensive target analysis of FAHFAs. The analysis revealed wide variation in the FAHFA profiles (15 compounds and 62 peaks). For 7-11 compounds of FAHFA, a total level of 8-29 pmol/mg oil was detected in nuts oils; for 11 compounds, 4.9 pmol/mg oil was detected in olive oil, and for 4-9 compounds, < 2 pmol/mg oil was detected in palm, soy, and rapeseed oils. The major FAHFAs were FAHFA 36:3, FAHFA 36:2, and FAHFA 36:4 in nut oil, FAHFA 36:2, FAHFA 34:1, and FAHFA 36:1 in olive oil, and FAHFA 32:1, FAHFA 34:0, FAHFA 36:0, and FAHFA 36:1 in all of the common oils. The composition of FAHFAs in nut oils is mainly unsaturated fatty acids, whereas those in olive oil are unsaturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. The composition of FAHFAs in common oils was mainly saturated fats. This is the first report to demonstrate the quality and quantity of the FAHFAs in the nut oils. Nuts have been described to be a great source of many nutrients and to be beneficial for our health. Our present findings comprise additional evidence that the intake of nuts in daily diets may prevent metabolic and inflammatory-based diseases.

A novel deep-branching archaeal lineage was discovered at high-temperature hot springs around Oyasukyo Gorge in Akita Prefecture, Japan. Actively boiling hot spring water contained >1×104 microbes mL–1. The microbial community composition assessed by analyzing 16S rRNA gene amplicons revealed that the dominant bacterial phyla were Proteobacteria and Aquificae (>50% of the microbial composition) in samples collected in 2016 and 2019, respectively. Approximately 10% of the reads obtained in both years were not assigned to any taxonomy. The more detailed phylogenetic positions of the unassigned sequences identified using a clone library and phylogenetic tree showed that they formed a clade that was independent, distantly related to known phyla, and had low similarity (<82%) to all other sequences in available databases. The present results suggest that this novel archaeal phylum-level lineage thrives in boiling hot springs in Japan.

The Colombian jaguar population is thought to contain two different subspecies, Panthera onca centralis and Panthera onca onca. The genetic structure of this population was evaluated using 12 microsatellite loci (n = 62 samples). In addition, 22 jaguar DNA samples from Guatemala, Paraguay, Perú, Bolivia, Venezuela and Brazil were analyzed for these microsatellite loci (n = 84 samples). The results of this study indicate six primary themes. First, the levels of gene diversity were very high. Second, the majority of the loci analyzed showed an absence of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, probably due to the Wahlund effect (= population subdivision). Third, several microsatellite loci showed significant heterogeneity between the two supposed subspecies in the country. Nevertheless, gene flow was present between them, and heterogeneity was relatively low, although the assignment analyses showed good classification of the jaguars studied into their respective subspecies. Fourth, the long-term historical effective population sizes were calculated through a maximum likelihood procedure for single and multi-step mutation models. Fifth, seven out of twelve DNA microsatellites studied significantly deviated from a single-step mutation model. However, the overall mean multi-step mutation percentage for these 12 DNA microsatellites was only 6%. Therefore, 94% of mutations were uni-step. Sixth, no bottleneck events were detected in the Colombian jaguar population overall.

Baron-Cohen, Wheelwright, Skinner, Martin, and Clubley (2001) constructed brief, self-administered instruments named the Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ), for measuring the degree to which an adult with normal intelligence has the traits associated with the autistic spectrum. In this paper, we report on a Japanese version of this new instrument. Three groups of Japanese subjects were assessed. Group 1 (<i>n</i>=57) consisted of adults with Asperger Syndrome (AS) or high-functioning autism (HFA). The other two groups were control groups. Subjects of Group 2 (<i>n</i>=194) were normal adults and those of Group 3 (<i>n</i>=1050) were students selected from five Universities in Tokyo and Chiba. The adults with AS/HFA had a mean AQ score of 37.9 (<i>SD</i>=5.31), which was significantly higher than the two control groups (Group 2: <i>X</i>=18.5, <i>SD</i>=6.21, and Group 3: <i>X</i>=20.7, <i>SD</i>=6.388). While eighty-eight percent of the adults with AS/HFA scored more than 33 points, only 3% of subjects in the two control groups indicated those points. Among the controls, males scored slightly but significantly higher than females. The reliability of the AQ in both test-retest and inter-rater measures were significantly high.

Japanese morning glory, Ipomoea nil, has several coloured flowers except yellow, because it can accumulate only trace amounts of carotenoids in the petal. To make the petal yellow with carotenoids, we introduced five carotenogenic genes (geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase, phytoene synthase, lycopene β-cyclase and β-ring hydroxylase from Ipomoea obscura var. lutea and bacterial phytoene desaturase from Pantoea ananatis) to white-flowered I. nil cv. AK77 with a petal-specific promoter by Rhizobium (Agrobacterium)-mediated transformation method. We succeeded to produce transgenic plants overexpressing carotenogenic genes. In the petal of the transgenic plants, mRNA levels of the carotenogenic genes were 10 to 1,000 times higher than those of non-transgenic control. The petal colour did not change visually; however, carotenoid concentration in the petal was increased up to about ten-fold relative to non-transgenic control. Moreover, the components of carotenoids in the petal were diversified, in particular, several β-carotene derivatives, such as zeaxanthin and neoxanthin, were newly synthesized. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of changing the component and increasing the amount of carotenoid in petals that lack ability to biosynthesize carotenoids.

Background:Obesity is a critical cardiovascular risk factor that has been defined in terms of body mass index (BMI), abdominal circumference (AC), and fat area. In this study, we examined which markers of obesity are most closely associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).Methods and Results:This prospective cohort study enrolled 529 consecutive patients who initially underwent coronary computed tomography angiography for screening of coronary atherosclerosis at Fukuoka University Hospital (FU-CCTA Registry) and either were clinically suspected of having coronary artery disease (CAD) or had at least 1 cardiovascular risk factor with a follow-up of up to 5 years. Measurements of subcutaneous fat area (SFA), visceral fat area (VFA), and AC were quantified using multidetector row computed tomography. The primary endpoint was MACE. SFA and the SFA to VFA ratio (SFA/VFA) were significantly lower in the MACE than non-MACE group. SFA, AC, BMI, and SFA/VFA were each independently associated with MACE. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis revealed a greater area under the curve for SFA/VFA than for the other parameters. The cut-off level of SFA/VFA with the greatest sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of MACE was 1.45 (sensitivity 0.849, specificity 0.472).Conclusions:Our results suggest that SFA/VFA may be a marker for evaluating the presence of MACE.

Background:This study aimed to investigate the effect of periodontal disease (PD) on the outcomes of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods and Results:The study included 77 consecutive non-smoking patients with de novo coronary lesions treated with a drug-eluting stent (DES). Periodontal measurements, including the community periodontal index (CPI), were performed by independent periodontists. A CPI score of ≥3 was used to define PD. The occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs), which were defined as a composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, or non-target lesion revascularization, was compared between patients with and without PD. Of the 77 patients, 49 (63.6%) exhibited a CPI score of 3 or 4 and were assigned to the PD group. The remaining 28 patients (36.4%) were assigned to the non-PD group. Baseline clinical characteristics and angiographic findings were comparable between the 2 groups. MACEs occurred in 13 (26.5%) of the PD patients and 2 (7.1%) of the non-PD patients. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a significantly lower MACE-free survival rate in the PD group than for the non-PD group (P=0.034).Conclusions:PD at baseline was associated with an increased risk of MACEs in CAD patients who were treated with a DES for de novocoronary lesions.

Background: Concentrations of ambient air pollution and pollutants in China have changed considerably during the last decade. However, few studies have evaluated the effects of current ambient air pollution on the health of kindergarten children.Methods: We studied 6730 Chinese children (age, 3–7 years) from 50 kindergartens in 7 cities of Northeast China in 2009. Parents or guardians completed questionnaires that asked about the children’s histories of respiratory symptoms and risk factors. Three-year concentrations of particles with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 µm (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and nitrogen dioxides (NO2) were calculated at monitoring stations in 25 study districts. A 2-stage regression approach was used in data analyses.Results: The prevalence of respiratory symptoms was higher among children living near a busy road, those living near chimneys or a factory, those having a coal-burning device, those living with smokers, and those living in a home that had been recently renovated. Among girls, PM10 was associated with persistent cough (odds ratio [OR]PM10 = 1.44; 95% CI, 1.18–1.77), persistent phlegm (ORPM10 = 1.36; 95% CI, 1.02–1.81), and wheezing (ORPM10 = 1.31; 95% CI, 1.04–1.65). NO2 concentration was associated with increased prevalence of allergic rhinitis (OR = 1.96; 95% CI, 1.27–3.02) among girls. In contrast, associations of respiratory symptoms with concentrations of PM10, SO2, and NO2 were not statistically significant among boys.Conclusions: Air pollution is particularly important in the development of respiratory morbidity among children. Girls may be more susceptible than boys to air pollution.

Sesamin, one of the lignans contained in sesame, has been considered to have medicinal effects. It has been reported that sesamin suppressed the development of hypertension in rats. In this study, using a double-blind, cross-over, placebo-controlled trial, we investigated the effect of 4-wk administration of sesamin on blood pressure (BP) in mildly hypertensive humans. Twenty-five middle-aged subjects with mild hypertension were divided into two groups, matched by age and body mass index. Twelve subjects were allocated to 4-wk intake of capsules with 60 mg sesamin per day and 13 subjects to 4-wk intake of a placebo (period 1). After a 4-wk washout period, the subjects received the alternative administration for 4 wk (period 2). BP decreased with statistical significance with the administration of sesamin (systolic: 137.6±2.2 to 134.1±1.7 mmHg, p=0.044, diastolic: 87.7±1.3 to 85.8±1.0 mmHg, p=0.045), but little changed with the placebo (systolic: 135.0±1.8 to 135.1±1.7 mmHg, diastolic: 85.9±1.2 to 86.6±1.2 mmHg). In conclusion, 4-wk administration of 60 mg sesamin significantly decreased BP by an average of 3.5 mmHg systolic BP and 1.9 mmHg diastolic BP. These results suggest that sesamin has an antihypertensive effect in humans. Epidemiological studies suggested that a 2-3 mmHg decrease in BP reduces the rate of cardiovascular diseases; therefore, it is considered that BP reduction achieved by sesamin may be meaningful to prevent cardiovascular diseases.

A novel class of macrolides, the sanglifehrins, was discovered by screening of actinomycete strains with a cyclophilin-binding assay. The chemical structures and absolute stereochemistries of the sanglifehrins A, B, C and D were determined unambiguously by NMR-techniques and by X-ray crystallography of the complex with cyclophilin A. Sanglifehrin A consists of a 22-membered macrocycle containing a tripeptide subunit and features in position 23 a chain of nine carbon atoms bearing a spirocyclic substituent. Sanglifehrins A and B are genuine metabolites whereas sanglifehrins C and D are artefacts.

アジアに於ける日本住血吸虫類には、日本住血吸虫、メコン住血吸虫、マレー住血吸虫の3種が知られているが、具体的な相互の類縁関係については、未だ不明である。本研究では、これら3種の系統類縁関係を調べるため、1)ミトコンドリアDNAの塩基配列、2)染色体のC-バンドパターン、3)中間宿主貝の核型、4)中間宿主貝の感受性、5)終宿主の感受性、及び6)終宿主における肉芽腫形成反応、について分析実験を行なった。1)ミトコンドリアDNAの塩基配列:本研究ではチトクロームCオキシダーゼサブユニットI(COI)領域のPCR増幅を試みた。各サンプルはTEバッファーでホモジナイズし、フェノール/クロロフォルムで2回、クロロフォルムで1回、処理した後、エタノール沈殿により、DNAを回収した。回収したDNAはテンプレートとして、PCRを行なった。プライマーは、5'- TTT TTT GGG CAT CCT GAG GTT T -3'及び5'- TAA AGA AAG AAC ATA ATG AAA AT -3'である。PCRの条件は、95℃ 1分、50℃ 1分、72℃ 3分、30サイクルである。得られた増幅断片はTAベクターにクローニングして、ABIのオートシーケンサー(373A)を用いて塩基配列を調べた。ホモロジー検索及び系統樹作成はClustalV(近隣接合法)とPaup(最大節約法)を用いて行なった。その結果、2つの異なる方法とも同じ結論に達した。即ちマレー住血吸虫は日本住血吸虫よりは、メコン住血吸虫に近く、メコン住血吸虫とクラスターを形成することが分かった。比較のために用いたアフリカ産のマンソン住血吸虫とビルハルツ住血吸虫は一つのクラスターを形成し、アジア産の日本住血吸虫類から隔たっていることが分かった。2)染色体のC-バンドパターン:日本住血吸虫、メコン住血吸虫、マレー住血吸虫のC-バンド分析を行ったところ、日本産の日本住血吸虫では、W染色体長腕のC-バンド内だけに真性染色体質の挿入が認められたが、メコン住血吸虫及びマレー住血吸虫では、両腕のC-バンド内に真性染色体質の挿入が認められた。さらにC-バンドの量はメコン住血吸虫及びマレー住血吸虫において日本住血吸虫より増加していることが観察された。このことから、メコン住血吸虫とマレー住血吸虫がより近縁であると推定され、ミトコンドリアDNAの結果と一致した。3)中間の宿主貝の核型と感受性:これは、宿主-寄生虫関係の進化と寄生虫自身の種分化との関係を明らかにするために行われた。まず、宿主貝の染色体について核型分析を行ったところ、a)マレー住血吸虫の第一中間宿主貝Robertsiella gismaniでは2n=34で性染色体はXY型であるが、Y染色体は、点状であること、b)メコン住血吸虫の第一中間宿主貝Neotricula apertaでは2n=34であるが、Y染色体は存在せずXO型であること、c)日本住血吸虫の第一中間宿主貝Oncomelania nosophora(ミヤイリガイ)では、2n=34で、性染色体はまだ未分化であること、等が明らかになった。4)中間宿主貝への感受性:日本産の日本住血吸虫とマレー住血吸虫をOncomelania nosophora(ミヤイリガイ)、O.minima(ナタネミズツボ)、Bythinella nipponica(ミジンニナ)の3種の貝に感染させたところ、両住血吸虫ともOncomelania nosophora(ミヤイリガイ)に感染し、セルカリアまで発育することが明らかとなった。4)終宿主の感受性:メコン住血吸虫及びマレー住血吸虫のセルカリアをマウス(ddY)、ハムスター(シリアン)、スナネズミ(MGS)の3種の終宿主への感染実験を行なったところ、すべてにおいて感染が成立することが分かった。15EA07:終宿主における肉芽腫形成反応:日本住血吸虫、メコン住血吸虫、マレー住血吸虫のセルカリアをマウスとラットに感染させ、肉芽腫形成反応の程度を比較した。まず、マウスでは3種住血吸虫とも著明な細胞反応を示したが、3種に差は認められなかった。しかし、ラットでは各々異なる程度の反応を認めた。即ち、肉芽腫形成反応はメコン住血吸虫で最も弱く、マレー住血吸虫で、最も強い反応を示した。一方、肝内虫体に対する細胞反応は虫卵に対する反応と逆にメコン住血吸虫で最も強く、マレー住血吸虫で、最も弱い反応を示した。このことから、宿主細胞の認識は虫体と虫卵で大きく異なることが分かった。

The masonry arch is one of the oldest structural designs used to span openings of considerable length. Although a variety of forms of brick masonry arches have been used for aesthetic reasons throughout the history of architecture, the unique employment of simple geometric forms is conspicuous in Louis Kahn′s buildings. In particular, Kahn has distinctively used overlaid circles cut into the building façade for window openings. The research elaborates on how Kahn juxtaposed circular shapes for the design of window openings in his buildings, particularly in the Indian Institute of Management (1962-74) and National Capital Complex in Bangladesh (1962-83).

With recent advances in medical treatments for carotid artery stenosis (CS), indications for carotid surgery should be more carefully considered for asymptomatic CS (ACS). Accurate stratification of ACS should be based on the risk of cerebral infarction, and subgroups of patients more likely to benefit from surgical treatment should be differentiated. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers a non-invasive, accurate modality for characterizing carotid plaque. Intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) seems the most promising feature of vulnerable plaque detectable by MRI. Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) is a type II membrane protein of the C-type lectin family with an extracellular domain that can be proteolytically cleaved and released as a soluble form (sLOX-1). This sLOX-1 plays a key role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, and elevated sLOX-1 concentrations correlate with thin or ruptured fibrous caps in patients with acute coronary syndrome. This ongoing study aims to clarify the incidence of ischemic stroke in patients with ACS and IPH confirmed by MRI, and to assess whether sLOX-1 could provide a biomarker for risk of future ischemic events. The study population comprises patients with ACS (>60% area stenosis) associated with MRI-diagnosed IPH receiving follow-up under medical treatment. Primary endpoints comprise transient ischemic attack, stroke or amaurosis resulting from concerned CS. Secondary endpoints comprise any stroke or surgical treatment for progressive luminal stenosis. The target number of patients is 120 and the observational period is 36 months. The study results could help identify individuals with ACS who are refractory to medical therapy.

Acystopteris taiwaniana, formerly known only from Taiwan, is newly recorded in Japan (northern and central Honshu and Shikoku). Chromosome counts and DNA sequences (plastid rbcL and nuclear PgiC) suggested that it is an allotetraploid species originating from hybridization between diploid A. japonica and an unknown diploid species. Acystopteris taiwaniana differs from A. japonica in having glandular hairs on the indusia of the sori, paler stipes and rachises, wider angles of divergence of pinnae from the rachis and larger spores, although there overlaps in the variation. Triploid sterile hybrids between the two species occur occasionally at the periphery of populations of one of the parental species in Japan.
