Seasonal occurrences of marine cladocerans in offshore Suruga Bay, Japan, were studied from 2014 to 2019. Zooplankton samples were collected monthly from a station (depth: ca. 1000 m) located in the offshore area of the bay. Cladocerans appeared each year from February to December, and disappeared in January. Their abundance increased drastically from April to September and comprised a substantial portion of the offshore mesozooplankton community during this period. Maximum cladoceran abundance occurred from June to August, ranging from 65.9–1341.9 individuals m−3. These patterns in cladoceran abundances were basically repeated each year throughout the study period. This result suggests that mass occurrences of cladocerans in offshore regions of the bay during the spring-summer are regular events rather than sporadic. Seven species, which have previously been reported from Japanese waters, were identified, and successional changes in the dominant species were observed. The most abundant species, Penilia avirostris, carried parthenogenetic embryos in brood pouches, suggesting that they were not simply transported from coastal areas, but that they also reproduce in the offshore waters. Regular mass occurrences of marine cladocerans in offshore Suruga Bay could have an important impact on the offshore ecosystem of the bay, and factors enabling these population cycles need to be determined.

Background: Myocarditis (MC) is an important cause of cardiac dysfunction in children. Fulminant MC is sometimes fatal, and sequelae may develop during follow-up. We conducted a nationwide survey to determine the clinico-epidemiological features of MC in Japanese children and adolescents. Methods and Results: Survey questionnaires were mailed to 627 hospitals, which were asked if they had treated MC patients aged between 1 month and 17 years during the period from January 1997 through December 2002. Responses were collected until December 2005, and data were collected and analyzed until January 2008. A total of 169 patients were reported: 64 fulminant cases, 89 acute cases, and 8 chronic cases. Incidence was 43.5 cases/year and 0.26 cases/100,000. Pathogens were identified in 37 patients; coxsackie virus accounted for 60%. Major cardiovascular manifestations at onset were congestive heart failure, refractory arrhythmia, and syncope in 70, 37, and 17 patients, respectively. Intravenous immunoglobulin was administered to 73 patients. Mechanical support seemed to be effective and life-saving. Among the 169 patients, 123 survived. Cardiovascular sequelae were reported in 49 patients. Conclusions: The survival rate for children with fulminant MC was disappointing. Overall, two-thirds of survivors had no sequelae. Mechanical support may reduce the mortality and the risk of clinical worsening. (Circ J 2012; 76: 1222-1228)

Background:The 1st nationwide survey by the Japanese Society of Pediatric Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery of acute or fulminant myocarditis (AMC/FMC) in children revealed that the survival rate of FMC was only 51.6%. The 2nd nationwide survey was performed to evaluate the recent outcomes of pediatric myocarditis.Methods and Results:Questionnaires regarding patients aged ≤18 years with AMC/FMC during the period from January 2006 to December 2011 were mailed. A total of 221 cases (age 6.5±5.3 years, 116 boys and 105 girls) were reported. There were 145 (65.6%) and 74 cases (33.5%) of AMC/FMC, respectively; the type of myocarditis was not reported in the remaining 2 cases (0.9%). Viruses were identified in 56 cases (25.3%), including coxsackie B in 9 and influenza A in 8. Histopathology by either endomyocardial biopsy or autopsy was obtained in 38 cases (19.2%). Intravenous immunoglobulin was effective in 49 (34.3%) of 143 cases. Steroid therapy was effective in 20 (32.8%) of 61 cases. Mechanical circulatory support was given in 54 cases (24.4%) and 94.2% of them were patients with FMC. The survival rates for the whole study population, acute myocarditis, and FMC were 75.6%, 91.0%, and 48.6%, respectively.Conclusions:The survival rate of children with myocarditis was almost identical to that of 10 years ago.
