Several fat-soluble compounds such as cholesterol and fat-soluble vitamins have important physiological activities in the body, and their excess and/or deficiency have been reported to be closely associated with the onset and progression of several conditions such as lifestyle-related diseases. It is important to clarify not only the physiological activities but also in vivo kinetics of fat-soluble compounds to understand their in vivo activity (toxicity). This review introduces our recent (reverse) translational research in a combination of basic and clinical studies to reveal the regulatory mechanisms of in vivo behaviors of fat-soluble compounds and effects of their disruption in humans.

The wood carving, Virgin and Child on the Crescent, was acquired by the Department of Art and Design, Faculty of Education, Iwate University, around 1960. It was purchased as art-education material for students, and the relevant art-historical research has not been conducted in the 50 years since its acquisition. This study elucidates the background of the workʼs production, as well as the reception of such Christian art in modern Japan. This paper is the first report of the study.The first part of the paper describes the characteristics of the sculpture, based on visual observation. The second part presents the results of wood identification research, as preparation for art historical investigation. The third part reveals when and where the work was executed, based on iconographic analysis, and elucidates its function through consideration of the cultural environment. The fourth part explores the context of the purchase of the work by Iwate University.In sum, the limewood sculpture was produced in Southern Germany in the second half of the fifteenth century, and the iconography of “Virgin and Child on the Crescent” is closely related to the cult of the Virgin Mary, which was widespread in Germany before the Protestant Reformation. In Japan, the sculpture was originally located in Kobe, where many Germans have lived since the opening of the country.

A 40-year-old Japanese woman presented to our hospital with general fatigue and muscle weakness. She had a history of premature loss of deciduous teeth at 4 years old, her serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was as low as 91 U/L, and radiologic studies revealed thoracic deformity and sacroiliac calcification. Genetic sequencing revealed a heterozygous c.1559delT mutation in the tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase gene (ALPL). Based on these findings, she was diagnosed with hypophosphatasia (HPP), and treatment with asfotase alfa, a recombinant human tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP), was initiated. After six months of treatment with asfotase alfa, improvements were observed in the SF-36 score, six-minute walk distance, and grasping power. Although the overdiagnosis needs to be avoided, HPP should be considered in patients with undiagnosed musculoskeletal symptoms and a low serum ALP activity.

Paclitaxel, a taxane, is frequently administered intravenously as an anticancer agent. When a peripheral intravenous catheter is used for paclitaxel infusion, clinical nurses often observe signs such as slight swelling at the catheter placement site, lack of blood return, and difficulty in continuing the infusion. However, the cause(s) of such phenomena at the puncture site has not yet been elucidated. The aim of this study was to obtain ultrasonography images of subcutaneous tissues and veins of patients undergoing paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy and compare ultrasonography images taken immediately before catheter removal with those of patients receiving other types of taxanes. We studied 24 patients receiving chemotherapy, including seven receiving paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy, through a peripheral intravenous catheter in a chemotherapy unit for outpatients of a university hospital in Japan. Ultrasonography images of venipuncture sites were obtained before catheter insertion and immediately before catheter removal. We observed subcutaneous edema in the absence of visible manifestations at the puncture sites of all patients undergoing paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy, but not in any patients receiving other types of taxanes. When vesicant agents and vehicles have caused subclinical subcutaneous edema, clinical nurses may detect early slight extravasation by using ultrasonography.

A 26-year-old man had a loss consciousness for a few minutes while smoking in the standing position, and was referred to hospital. No abnormalities were found in a computed tomography examination of his head, in a 24-h electrocardiogram or in an exercise tolerance test. The head-up tilt test (HUT) while tobacco smoking elicited a positive response in the tilted position, but the HUT without tobacco smoking was negative. The most noteworthy effect of tobacco smoking during the HUT was the high level of plasma epinephrine compared to the levels seen during supine smoking or the HUT alone. Syncope induced by tobacco smoking in the standing position is rare and the mechanism may be the same as that underlying neurally mediated syncope. (Jpn Circ J 2001; 65: 1001 - 1003)

Free/libre open source software (FLOSS) are being rapidly employed in several companies and organizations, because it can be modified and used for free. Hence, the use of FLOSS could contribute to its originally intended benefits and to the competence of its users. In this study, we analyzed the effect of using FLOSS on related competences. We investigated the change in the competences through an empirical study before and after the use of FLOSS among project participants. Consequently, it was confirmed that the competences of the participants improved after utilizing FLOSS.

Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The induction of oxidative stress by smoking plays a key role in the progression of atherosclerosis. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. In the present study, we investigated whether long-term smoking can accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis and whether oxidative stress is implicated in its pathogenesis. Apolipoprotein E–deficient spontaneously hyperlipidemic mice, a model of atherosclerosis, were exposed to the gas-phase of smoke, from which tar and nicotine had been removed, for 15 min a day, 6 days a week, for 16 weeks. Exposure to cigarette smoke significantly increased the serum levels of oxidative stress markers such as thiobarbituric acid–reactive substances, oxidatively modified low-density lipoproteins, and 3-nitrotyrosine, but it did not affect serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Exposure to smoke also accelerated the accumulation of total cholesterol levels in the aorta that was accompanied by an increase in 3-nitrotyrosine levels of the atherosclerotic mice. These changes in the serum and aorta that progressed with exposure to smoke were prevented by vitamin E administration. Our data suggest that chronic cigarette smoking promotes and aggravates atherosclerosis and that the antioxidant vitamin E exerts an anti-atherogenic effect via reduction of oxidative stress.
