Aim: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has been identified as an important regulator of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor processing. Evolocumab and alirocumab are PCSK9 inhibitors; however, little is known about the association between PCSK9 levels and lipid profiles in a general population. Because PCSK9 inhibitors have LDL-C lowering effects, we investigated whether there is a positive correlation between serum PCSK9 levels and LDL-C or lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. Methods: In Uku town, 674 residents (mean age; 69.2±8.3 years) received health check-ups. The participants underwent a physical examination and blood tests, including PCSK9 and Lp(a). Serum PCSK9 and Lp(a) were measured by ELISA and Latex methods, respectively. HOMA-IR was calculated by fasting plasma glucose×insulin levels/405. Results: The mean (range) of PCSK9 and Lp(a) were 211.2 (49-601) ng/mL and 60 (1-107) mg/dL, respectively. Because of a skewed distribution, the log-transformed values were used. With univariate linear regression analysis, PCSK9 levels were associated with Lp(a) (p=0.028), triglycerides (p<0.001), and HOMA-IR (p<0.001), but not with LDL-C (p=0.138) levels. Multiple stepwise regression analysis revealed that serum PCSK9 levels were independently associated with triglycerides (p<0.001), Lp(a) (p=0.033) and HOMA-IR (p=0.041). Conclusions: PCSK-9 is independently associated with triglycerides, Lp(a) levels, and HOMA-IR, but not LDL-C, in a relatively large general population sample.

本論は、プロレスラーの身体を題材にして「男性身体」という概念をいかに捉えたらよいのか、という問いを検討していく研究ノートである。「男性身体」は、「近代パラダイム」あるいは「覇権的なものの可視化されたフォルム(姿)」という位置づけで捉えられる。 まず、プロレスラーの身体がいかに「男性身体」を表象しているかについて検討する。つまりレスラーの身体がいかに「理性」に訴求するように身体加工されているのかということに着目する。次にプロレスとは、二項対立構造や権威的ヒエラルキー制度の中で展開されているのだということを指摘する。続いて、プロレスのスペクタクル性について指摘し、「男性身体」との関係を述べる。最後にレスラーのアイデンティティについて触れ、それが「男性身体」を変容させる可能性をもつという仮説を立てて本論は閉じられる。

Because the brain is the most important human organ, many brain disorders can cause severe symptoms. For example, glioma, one type of brain tumor, is progressive and lethal, while neurodegenerative diseases cause severe disability. Nevertheless, medical treatment for brain diseases remains unsatisfactory, and therefore innovative therapies are desired. However, the development of therapies to treat some cerebral diseases is difficult because the blood–brain barrier (BBB) or blood–brain tumor barrier prevents drugs from entering the brain. Hence, drug delivery system (DDS) strategies are required to deliver therapeutic agents to the brain. Recently, brain-targeted DDS have been developed, which increases the quality of therapy for cerebral disorders. This review gives an overview of recent brain-targeting DDS strategies. First, it describes strategies to cross the BBB. This includes BBB-crossing ligand modification or temporal BBB permeabilization. Strategies to avoid the BBB using local administration are also summarized. Intrabrain drug distribution is a crucial factor that directly determines the therapeutic effect, and thus it is important to evaluate drug distribution using optimal methods. We introduce some methods for evaluating drug distribution in the brain. Finally, applications of brain-targeted DDS for the treatment of brain tumors, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and stroke are explained.

The principle of cosmic dualism (yin and yang) and the Five Elements (Wu-Xing), based on the philosophy of "food as medicine," serve as the basis of Korean food culture. Korean cuisine features rice, soup, and kimchi along with various side dishes. As soup is treated as one of its main dishes, Korean daily meals generally contain more water than Japanese cuisine. Earlier, traditional tea culture in Korea was enjoyed only by people of specific privileged classes, and consequently, the tea-drinking custom faded during the Joseon dynasty. Currently, "traditional tea, " made from ingredients including wild herbs, fruits, and grains used in Chinese medicine , is widely accepted in the everyday lives of Korean people. This traditional tea is made by blending and brewing ingredients such as fruits, flowers, grains, and leaves used in traditional medicine, and is based on the philosophy of "food as medicine." It is then mixed with, for example, honey to make it drinkable. Thus, many varieties of traditional tea are available. The results of a survey revealed that the reasons for drinking traditional tea vary from those related to health, such as cold prevention, fever suppression, and recovery from fatigue, to taking "coffee breaks." From this, it was inferred that traditional tea in Korea is used in everyday lives by people with hopes to advance their health based on the claimed functions of its ingredients.

The lab-scale experiments were performed to study suspended growth of heterotrophic bacteria and decay process of free and combined chlorine in reclaimed water. It was found that suspended growth of bacteria was suppressed by combined chlorine and that the rapid growth began after combined chlorine had been consumed completely. It was also found that the initial dose of the chlorine could delay their growth, but could not control the maximum count of bacteria. Decay process of free chlorine was described by the simple first-order reaction. To simulate disappearance of combined chlorine, two steps model of first-order reaction was required. The values of rate constants for the first-order reactions depended on the initial chlorine concentration. The simple model for simulating bacteria growth was developed with aid of the activated sludge model No.2 and data from experiments without chlorine dose. It was found that the simple model was also applicable to the experimental results with chlorine dose.

The outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has spread worldwide. Nasopharyngeal swabs are widely used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to detect SARS-CoV-2. However, the collection of nasopharyngeal swabs has a series of drawbacks concerning exposure of healthcare staff, difficulty in collection, and discomfort of patients. Therefore, an alternative noninvasive sample for diagnostic of emerging viral diseases is required. The usefulness of saliva screening tests is compared to conventional swab tests in this report. The results suggest that saliva could be a reliable sample for detecting SARS-CoV-2.

This study used finite element (FE) analysis to investigate the stability of miniscrews (screws) placed at the median palate. FE models with variable suture maturity and screw-suture distances were used to examine the relationship with screw stability. Four groups were classified by extent of maturation of the midpalatal suture (0%, 60%, 75%, and 100%). The placement position was set at the center of the suture (0.0 mm), or 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 mm to the side of the suture, and von Mises stress values in bone and screw displacement were compared among models. The stress value for the unsutured model, in which the screw was placed at the center of the suture, was greater than 30 MPa. Stress values for models in which screws were placed to the side (0.5-1.5 mm) were less than 28 MPa. Maximum screw displacement was greater in the 0.0-mm incomplete suture model than at other placement positions. Because bone conditions vary among patients, placement position and suture maturation should be examined on cone beam-computed tomography images, to ensure screw stability.

Since the 1991 amendment of the Standards for the Establishment of Universities, physical education (PE) courses in the liberal arts program have been reduced or abolished in several universities. However, the Japanese Association of University Physical Education and Sports (JAUPES) and some universities have continued efforts for the survival of PE. In these activities, many workshops and studies for faculty development (FD) have been implemented. Besides, several classes in PE have been improved. In this paper, we will outline these trends in the FD for PE.
