hCAP-18/LL-37 is an antimicrobial peptide that is mainly expressed in epithelial cells. Gingival epithelial cells play pivotal roles in antimicrobial defense by expressing hCAP-18/LL-37. Porphyromonas gingivalis is a primary pathogen for chronic periodontitis and produces cysteine proteinase gingipains, which induce proinflammatory cytokines production, leading to enhance inflammatory responses. In contrast, gingipains attenuate immune responses, leading to induce anti-inflammatory responses. In this study, we investigated the ability of gingipains to attenuate P. gingivalis-induced hCAP-18/LL-37 production by human gingival epithelial Ca9-22 cells. The expression of LL-37 mRNA was increased by the infection of Ca9-22 cells with a P. gingivalis gingipains-null mutant KDP136 compared with P. gingivalis wild-type strain ATCC 33277. Interleukin (IL)-33 is involved in the development of chronic inflammatory diseases, and P. gingivalis infection increases IL-33 production by human gingival epithelial cells. P. gingivalis-induced LL-37 mRNA expression was augmented in IL-33 small interfering RNA-transfected Ca9-22 cells. Maxacalcitol (22-oxacalcitriol: OCT) is a biologically active metabolite of vitamin D3 analog, and OCT increases hCAP-18/LL-37 production by human gingival epithelial cells. The increasing expression of LL-37 mRNA by OCT was down-regulated by infection of the cells with P. gingivalis ATCC 33277 in Ca9-22 cells. Furthermore, P. gingivalis infection induced IL-33 mRNA expression in Ca9-22 cells; therefore, P. gingivalis-induced endogenous IL-33 down-regulated hCAP-18/LL-37 production by the bacterium. These findings suggested that endogenous IL-33 down-regulates the induction of hCAP-18/LL-37 production in human gingival epithelial cells.

Two intact female dogs were admitted for growing mammary tumors. They had symptoms of acromegaly including weight gain, enlargement of the head, excessive skin folds, and inspiratory stridor. Serum concentrations of growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), and insulin were elevated in the two cases. From these findings, both dogs were diagnosed with acromegaly. In case 1, the GH, IGF-I, and insulin levels subsided after removal of the focal benign mammary tumors and ovariohysterectomy. In case 2, those levels subsided after removal of only focal mammary carcinoma. In both cases, immunohistochemical investigations for GH were positive in the mammary tumor cells but not in the normal mammary glands. We concluded that GH-producing mammary tumors caused the present acromegaly.

To operate trail running safely while reducing costs, we considered a system that quickly detects participants who are off course or need urgent rescue. The system adopts long short-term memory for the prediction of the trail running participant time.

要 旨本研究の目的は,長期生存を続けるがんサバイバーは,どのように生きる意味を見いだしているのか,そのプロセスを明らかにすることである.生きる意味を見いだすことは,スピリチュアルなニーズの一部として位置づけた.研究方法はグラウンデッド・セオリー・アプローチ法を用いた.対象者は,病名を知っているがん患者7名であった.データの収集は,半構成的面接と参加観察を行った.分析の結果,生きる意味を見いだすプロセスは,がんの罹患によって《生きられる時間に対する認識》が変化し,それに沿って《自分の存在価値の模索》が繰り返し行われるプロセスであった.《自分の存在価値の模索》のプロセスには〈存在価値の模索動因の段階〉〈存在価値を試す段階〉〈存在価値を確かめる段階〉という3つの段階があった.さまざまな現実に直面する中で《自分の存在価値の模索》は繰り返し行われていた.がんサバイバーは,がんという病いによって,生きられる時間が不確かになり,自分自身の存在価値も揺さぶられた.その中で,自己の内面に向き合いながら,新たな自分の存在価値を模索し,自分の存在価値を人とのつながりを通して確かめられた時,生きる意味を見いだしていた.がんの生存率が向上し今後ますます生存期間の長期化が予想される.長期間にわたりがんを抱えながら生活するがんサバイバーを継続的に支援していくことの重要性が示唆された.

The purpose of this study is to identify and resolve problems and issuesfrom student teacher evaluations and general reviews in order to improve andenhance the teacher training course in the Health and Physical Education courseat Osaka International University. To achieve this, we reviewed the overallevaluations of student teachers from 2019 to 2021 and analyzed general reviewswith AI text mining. It was determined that we should improve the knowledgeand ability of the Health and Physical Education course and student guidance tomeet a prescribed standard. Student teachers should be instructed on improvingtheir material development and teaching practice, and be encouraged to teachwith enthusiasm, earnestness, and be more involved with their students.

The purpose of this study is to examine what constitutes effective educational materials and teaching methods in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) education,. It is the authors’ contention that materials and teaching methods that emphasize hands-on learning are effective in creating authentic learning in Living Environment and Natural Science classes. There are, however, some nation-wide problems with “monozukuri” as it is currently used at schools in Japan, so it is necessary to design a new teaching-learning model for STEAM education. To consider the significance of STEAM education, we conducted a case study in which students made a small electric fan by hand. Results revealed problems such as that curriculum development in this area in Japan is lacking, and that systems for delivering teaching materials to children are underdeveloped. Findings also demonstrated that 1) encouraging an artistic approach and tinkering is essential in STEAM education, 2) children are motivated to use their hands and learn in depth when they are given materials manipulable with some degree of freedom and are taught to use these materials with appropriate teaching methods, and 3) learning through engineering combined with art has the potential can create a beneficial synergy which can trigger learning in science, technology, and mathematics. Results further suggested that if the teacher refrains from pre-emptive intervention and allows children to work by themselves, the teacher, as well as the children, will enjoy the process and be able to learn together.

In order to develop the next generation, PBL (Project-based learning) iswidely adopted in higher education as an effective method of active learning. InPBL, it is important to manage the learning process of the skills in addition tothe result of the project. In this article, the author examines the three issues forthe development of“ Essential competencies for the 100-year life” presented bythe Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, then discusses the role of thelecturer. Consequently, the lecturer’s ability to set and adapt goals to thestudents’ learning level, the flexibility of the lecturer to support or instructaccording to the demands of the project and the inclusion of consecutive PBLprograms in the regular curriculum are suggested as important issues.

本研究は、対人不安者の注意の方向性と不安定性について検討することを目的とした。他者存在が外的情報への注意配分に影響するため、評価者が存在するスピーチ場面とその予期場面で比較検討した。実験参加者は、対人不安高群@=13)と低群(η=11)で、FearofNegativeEvaluationScale(FNE)を用いてスクリーニングした。スピーチ中、評価者の呈示動作に対してボタン押しをさせ、スピーチ後にスピーチ中の注意の方向性と不安定性、および動作に対する印象を測定した。本研究の結果、予期場面とスピーチ場面において、対人不安高群は低群よりも内的情報に注意を向けていたが、スピーチ場面では外的情報に対しても注意を向けていた。また、スピーチ中は両群ともに注意の方向性が不安定になっていた。本研究の結果より、内的情報と外的情報に対する注意は、注意の処理資源の範囲内で切り替わっていることが考えられる。

Ascidians have the most simple chordate body plan. Ascidians share one curious characteristic in that they produce cellulose. Cellulose is a major component of tunic that surrounds the whole body of ascidians. Recent genome project and phylogenetic analyses of the ascidian, Ciona intestinalis, suggest that (1) ascidians have a gene encoding cellulose synthase, and (2) ascidian may have acquired cellulose synthase through lateral transfer from bacteria. Developmental genetics of Ciona intestinalis with the transposon Minos has generated one mutant for cellulose synthase. This mutant shows abnormal metamorphosis and settlement, suggesting that cellulose is required in the sessile life of this ascidian.

稲庭うどんには肉眼でも判別できる位の空隙(気泡)が存在し,この空隙が歯ごたえの原因となつており,その他の乾通やスパゲテイーに認められている水分勾配による歯ごたえではなく,この気泡は小麦粉に食塩水を添加し,手延べ製麺を繰り返すことにより,集積された耐塩性酵母Hyphopichia burtoniiがアミラーゼを保有し,可溶性デンプンを発酵し炭酸ガスを発生することにより生成し,稲庭うどんは伝統的な発酵食品であることを明らかにしたので,解説いただいた。
