Background: Tracking gestational weight gain (GWG) during pregnancy makes it possible to optimize pregnancy outcomes, and GWG growth curves are well suitable for this purpose. The GWG guidelines for Japanese were revised in 2021. However, currently, there are no GWG growth curves to guide women on how to gain weight to meet these guidelines.Methods: Using data on 96,631 live births from the Japan Environment and Children’s Study (JECS), we created descriptive GWG percentile curves estimating the trajectory of GWG required to meet the GWG guidelines stratified by pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI). For both analyses, Bayesian mixed models with restricted cubic splines adjusted for maternal characteristics were used.Results: GWG curves substantially differed by pre-pregnancy BMI and were higher among multiparas and those with lower maternal age and with no previous disease. We estimated that underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese women who gain 8.4 to 11.1 kg, 6.4 to 9.1 kg, 3.8 to 6.5 kg, and <1.9 kg at 30 weeks of gestation are on the trajectory to reach the new guidelines at 40 weeks of gestation.Conclusion: We provide GWG percentiles curves for Japanese women, as well as GWG trajectory curves to meet the new GWG recommendations. These results may help pregnant women monitor weight during pregnancy.

Cancer metabolic variability has a significant impact on both diagnosis and treatment outcomes. The discovery of novel biological indicators and metabolic dysregulation, can significantly rely on comprehension of the modified metabolism in cancer, is a research focus. Tissue histology is a critical feature in the diagnostic testing of many ailments, such as cancer. To assess the surgical margin of the tumour on patients, frozen section histology is a tedious, laborious, and typically arbitrary method. Concurrent monitoring of ion images in tissues facilitated by the latest advancements in mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is far more efficient than optical tissue image analysis utilized in conventional histopathology examination. This article focuses on the “desorption electrospray ionization (DESI)-MSI” technique’s most recent advancements and uses in cancer research. DESI-MSI can provide wealthy information based on the variances in metabolites and lipids in normal and cancerous tissues by acquiring ion images of the lipid and metabolite variances on biopsy samples. As opposed to a systematic review, this article offers a synopsis of the most widely employed cutting-edge DESI-MSI techniques in cancer research.

Background: Total work-family conflicts (TWFCs) could associate with mental health, and having ikigai (a purpose of life) may mediate this association.Methods: In a cross-cultural study of 4,792 Japanese Aichi Workers’ Cohort study participants and 3,109 Egyptian civil workers, the Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS) questionnaire measured TWFCs and the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D) 11-item scale measured depression. We used logistic regression models to estimate odds ratios (ORs) of having depression and a high-ikigai across levels of TWFCs (low, moderate, and high), and the PROCESS macro of Hayes to test the mediation effect.Results: The prevalence of high TWFCs, depression, and having a high ikigai were 17.9%, 39.4%, and 70.1% in Japanese women, 10.5%, 26.8%, and 70.1% in Japanese men, 23.7%, 58.2%, and 24.7% in Egyptian women, and 19.1%, 38.9%, and 36.9% in Egyptian men, respectively. Compared with participants with low TWFCs, the multivariable ORs of depression in Japanese women and men with high TWFCs were 4.11 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.99–5.65) and 5.42 (95% CI, 4.18–7.02), and those in Egyptian women and men were 4.43 (95% CI, 3.30–5.95) and 4.79 (95% CI, 3.53–6.48), respectively. The respective ORs of having a high-ikigai were 0.46 (95% CI, 0.33–0.64) and 0.40 (95% CI, 0.31–0.52) in Japanese women and men and were 0.34 (95% CI, 0.24–0.48) and 0.28 (95% CI, 0.20–0.39) in Egyptian women and men. No interaction between TWFCs and country was observed for the associations with depression or ikigai. Ikigai mediated (up to 18%) the associations between the TWFCs and depression, especially in Egyptian civil workers.Conclusion: TWFCs were associated with depression, and having low ikigai mediated these associations in Japanese and Egyptian civil workers.

Many recent clinical and epidemiological studies have demonstrated the effects of vitamin D on health, yet few studies have examined the association of dietary intake of vitamin D during pregnancy with postpartum depressive symptoms. This study examined this association in a large cohort of 74,840 pregnant women who are enrolled in the longitudinal Japan Environment and Children’s Study. Dietary vitamin D intake during pregnancy (specifically after learning of the pregnancy to mid-late pregnancy) was determined using the Food Frequency Questionnaire. Postpartum depressive symptoms 1 mo after delivery were assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. Logistic regression analysis showed a reduced risk of postpartum depressive symptoms for all except the first quintile of vitamin D intake: second quintile (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.88 [0.82–0.94]), third (0.83 [0.78–0.89]), fourth (0.87 [0.81–0.93]), and fifth (0.90 [0.83–0.97]). Post-adjustment trend tests revealed a significant association between dietary vitamin D intake and postpartum depressive symptoms (p for trend=0.004). Our results revealed a higher vitamin D intake during pregnancy was associated with a lower risk of postpartum depressive symptoms 1 mo after delivery, suggesting the potential applicability of vitamin D in reducing postpartum depression.

Background: Postpartum depression (PPD) has been associated with adverse health outcomes, including maternal suicide. Mode of delivery has been suggested to be a risk factor for PPD, but no large cohort study has examined the association between mode of delivery and PPD. We aimed to examine the association between mode of delivery and risks of PPD at 1 and 6 months after childbirth.Methods: In a nationwide study of 89,954 mothers with a live singleton birth, we examined the association between mode of delivery and risks of PPD. PPD was evaluated using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (≥13) at 1 and 6 months after childbirth. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of PPD were calculated using multivariable logistic regression analyses after adjustment of antenatal physical, socioeconomic, and mental factors.Results: Among 89,954 women, 3.7% and 2.8% had PPD at 1 and 6 months after childbirth, respectively. Compared with unassisted vaginal delivery, cesarean section (CS) was marginally associated with PPD at 1 month but not at 6 months; adjusted ORs were 1.10 (95% CI, 1.00–1.21) and 1.01 (95% CI, 0.90–1.13), respectively. The association with PPD at 1 month was evident in women with antenatal psychological distress (adjusted OR 1.15; 95% CI, 1.03–1.28). The observed associations were attenuated after adjusting for infant feeding method.Conclusion: Women who had antenatal psychological distress and underwent CS delivery may be regarded as a target for monitoring PPD.

Weight of the heart and its various components (muscular and non muscular portions) was measured in 138 specimens. Average heart weight for Indians was comparatively less then that of western population. Difference between the average heart weights for males and females was found to be statistically significant. The heart weight was not influenced by age and body length but by the body built. A statistically significant difference was noticed in emaciated persons. Ventricular weight constituted 50 to 80 percent of the total heart weight. A close correlation between the heart weight and ventricular weight was seen. Ventricular wall thickness did not correlate well with the heart weight.

A low pressure casting of Mg–Cu–Y melts into copper molds was found to cause amorphous bulks in a cylindrical form. The maximum diameter of the amorphous cylinder (Dc) shows a significant compositional dependence and reaches a maximum value of 4.0 mm for Mg65Cu25Y10. The compositional dependence of the Dc is similar to that for the temperature span of the supercooled liquid region, ΔTx(=Tx−Tg). The similarity is presumably because the alloy with large ΔTx has a high resistance against the nucleation and growth of a crystalline phase resulting from the formation of a disordered structure with a more dense random packing and an optimum bonding states. The compressive proof stress at an elongation of 0.2% (σp) for the Mg80Cu10Y10 cylinder was 822 MPa at room temperature and the fracture occurred along the shear plane. The σp remains unchanged up to 350 K and then decreases significantly with increasing temperature, accompanied by the change in the deformation mode from inhomogeneous to homogeneous type. There is no appreciable difference in the features of mechanical strengths and deformation behavior between the bulk and ribbon samples, indicating the similarity of the disordered structure.

A new Licmophora with an apical window and additional perforations in the septum was discovered in a sample from Majuro Atoll, Marshall Islands. Valves are so narrow that they almost always present in girdle view, when they appear triangular, the mantle comprising most of the valve surface. A eucentric stage was used to tilt specimens up to 80° to see the shape in valve view and to see rimoportulae. Valves were 92–140 µm long, 8 µm wide, with three expanded areas, the broadest in the middle. The areolae were elongated in the apical axis but separated by wide virgae and vimines, unlike the narrow and closely spaced areolae in Licmophora cf. abbreviata, but with essentially similar vela. The morphology of Licmophora complanata is most like Licmophora peragallioides and Licmophora clevei in having a moderately long and wide rostrum with a moderately large apical window in the septum.
