The aim of the present study was to perform a systematic review of the literature on the effects of low-level laser therapy in the treatment of TMD, and to analyze the use of different assessment tools. [Subjects and Methods] Searches were carried out of the BIREME, MEDLINE, PubMed and SciELO electronic databases by two independent researchers for papers published in English and Portuguese using the terms: “temporomandibular joint laser therapy” and “TMJ laser treatment”. [Results] Following the application of the eligibility criteria, 11 papers were selected for in-depth analysis. The papers analyzed exhibited considerable methodological differences, especially with regard to the number of sessions, anatomic site and duration of low-level laser therapy irradiation, as well as irradiation parameters, diagnostic criteria and assessment tools. [Conclusion] Further studies are needed, especially randomized clinical trials, to establish the exact dose and ideal parameters for low-level laser therapy and define the best assessment tools in this promising field of research that may benefit individuals with signs and symptoms of TMD.

The purpose of this study is to disclose the building process of suppliers' development capabilities through the patent data analysis under rapid technological system conversion of the automobile. Recent computerization of cars has urged the improvement of the technology of arranging wire harness and lightening. The role of wire harness in a car is a linking of electrical components, so it means that wire harness is to define the electrical functions of the car. Namely, wire harness is suitable as a subject to observe recent improvement process of development capabilities of auto parts suppliers. In order to visualize research results, we use a patent data analysis of the wire harness area. Research subject is wire harness department of the Sumitomo group (Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., Sumitomo Wiring Systems, Ltd., Auto Network Technology Institute), which has extended global market share over the last two decades, while comparing with the Yazaki Group (Yazaki Sougyou), a top supplier of wire harness. In analyzing the patent data, we regard a company as a bunch of technology and analyze from 3 viewpoints, which are companies, engineers, and invention. Our study revealed the following mechanisms.Mechanism 1, Analysis of Company unit: “Building development capabilities starts from the patent application by wire harness manufacturer alone.”Mechanism 2, Analysis of Engineer unit:“The key to build development capabilities is the reciprocating motion between single application and joint application by core engineers.”Mechanism 3, Analysis of Invention unit: “Building development capabilities accelerates by reconstructing the predecessor's technology.”We present a conceptual model that organizes the mechanism as the conclusion of this study. "Building development capabilities starts from patent applications by wire harness manufacturer alone and returns to the evolution path of the invention by the reciprocating motion of the core engineer as an interface, and accelerates by reconstructing the predecessor's technology."

In order to evaluate whether or not iodine intake in Japanese is variable among different aged subjects and also whether this variation is concordant with the age distribution in patients with chronic thyroiditis, we tried to examine the urinary iodine excretion of euthyroid people in various decades of age.One hundred and twenty outpatients without thyroid disorders, aged 22 to 77 y. o., were selected at random and were divided into 6 groups according to age. Mean total urinary iodine excretion (UIT) and concentration (UIC) were 336.1μg/day and 31.4μg/dl/cr, respectively, and they were in good correlation (r=+0.82, p<0.001). A straight line on log normal probability was recognized between the ratio of cumulative frequency and values of UIT. UIT and UIC were significantly correlated with serum nonhormonal iodine, respectively (r=+0.21, p<0.01; r=+0.28, p<0.01). These indicators in the 3rd decade were lower than those in the 6th decade (p<0.01, p<0.05). UIT increased with age up to the 6th decade and then decreased gradually to the 8th decade. Therefore, UIT in all the subjects formed a bell-shaped distribution with a significant peak in the 6th decade (H=12.1, p<0.05). Rates of renal iodine clearance (UIC/SNI) in the 6th decade increased significantly more than those in the 4th decade (p<0.01), and the distribution of those rates in the 6 groups were similar to that of UIT. The mean frequency of UIT in less than 200 μg/day of the necessary amounts of iodine intake was 32.5%, but it was 63.6% in the 3rd decade, whereas it was 19% in the 6th decade. The difference between the 3rd and 6th decades was significant (p<0.01).It was indicated that differences in the amounts of iodine intake in Japanese euthyroid people were present and that the distribution was virtually matched to the age distribution of the patients with chronic thyroiditis. The data suggest that the increment of iodine intake in the middle-aged group could affect the pathophysiology of autoimmune thyroid disorders.

This research demonstrated the negative influence of monitoring and punishing during a social dilemma game, taking the illegal dumping of industrial waste as an example. The first study manipulated three conditions: a producing-industries monitoring condition (PIM), an administrative monitoring condition (ADM), and a control condition (no monitoring). The results showed that non-cooperative behavior was more frequent in the PIM condition than in the control condition. The second study had three conditions: a punishing condition (PC), a monitoring condition (MC), and a control condition (no monitoring, no punishing). The results indicated that non-cooperative behavior was observed the most in the PC, and the least in the control condition. Furthermore, information regarding other players’ costs and benefits was shared the most in the control conditions in both studies. The results suggest that sanctions prevent people from sharing information, which decreases expectations of mutual cooperation.

Background:No study has examined the association between television (TV) viewing time and mortality from stroke and coronary artery disease (CAD) in Japanese.Methods and Results:A total of 35,959 men and 49,940 women aged 40–79 years without a history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer were followed from 1988–1990 until 2009. During 19.2 median years of follow-up, there were 2,553 deaths from stroke, 1,206 from CAD and 5,835 from total CVD. Compared with viewing TV for <2 h/day, mortality from stroke, CAD and total CVD were higher for ≥6 h/day of TV viewing. The multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) for ≥6 h/day of TV viewing were 1.15 (95% confidence interval: 0.96–1.37) for stroke, 1.33 (1.03–1.72) for CAD and 1.19 (1.06–1.34) for total CVD. The corresponding HRs for each 1-h/day increment in TV viewing time were 1.01 (0.99–1.04), 1.04 (1.01–1.08) and 1.02 (1.01–1.04), respectively. The excess risk of mortality from CAD and total CVD was somewhat attenuated after further adjustment for potential mediators such as history of hypertension and diabetes: the multivariable HRs for ≥6 h/day of TV viewing were 1.24 (0.96–1.61) and 1.14 (1.02–1.28). The corresponding HRs for each 1-h/day increment in TV viewing time were 1.03 (1.00–1.07) and 1.01 (1.00–1.03).Conclusions:Prolonged TV viewing was associated with a small but significant increase in mortality from CAD and total CVD in Japanese.

The antioxidative property and inhibitory effect of otogiri-sou (Hypericum erectum) leaf tea on postprandial blood glucose elevation were investigated. The otogiri-sou leaf contains a large quantity of such polyphenols as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, and epicatechin. Tea extracts with boiled water containing 2, 5, and 10% of otogiri-sou leaves showed strong DPPH radical scavenging activity. The lowering effect of otogiri-sou leaf tea on α-glucosidase activity was enhanced by the hot tea extracts containing at least 2% otogiri-sou leaves. The postprandial blood glucose level in human subjects after ingesting boiled rice was measured subsequent to an oral administration of otogiri-sou leaf tea. The subjects were assigned to two groups, each with a mean postprandial blood glucose level of 139 mg/dl. Otogiri-sou leaf tea significantly suppressed the increase of blood glucose level in those subjects whose postprandial blood glucose level was higher than the mean. These results suggest that the intake of otogiri-sou leaf tea prevented an increased postprandial blood glucose level by inhibiting the digestive absorption of sugars. These results suggest that the intake of otogiri-sou leaf tea prevented an increased postprandial blood glucose level by inhibiting the digestive absorption of sugars.

Feline morbillivirus (FmoPV) is an emerging virus in domestic cats and considered to be one of the causes of chronic renal failure in cats. In this study, we established a reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay for the detection of FmoPV. The results indicated that the detection limit of the assay was 10 50% tissue culture infective dose (TCID50)/ml in the original sample, and sensitivity of the assay was calculated as 0.12 TCID50 per one RT-LAMP reaction. We also detected FmoPV in clinical urine samples from cats infected with FmoPV. The FmoPV RT-LAMP assay is rapid, simple and highly specific for the detection of FmoPV, and thus, it would be a reliable detection method for FmoPV.

Background:To clarify the effects of warfarin therapy in very old patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), a post-hoc analysis was performed using the data of the J-RHYTHM Registry.Methods and Results:A consecutive series of AF outpatients was enrolled from 158 institutions. Of 7,937 patients, 7,406 with NVAF (men, 70.8%; 69.8±10.0 years) were followed for 2 years or until an event occurred. Patients were divided into 3 age groups (<70, 70–84, and ≥85 years) and 5 subgroups according to international normalized ratio (INR; <1.6, 1.6–1.99, 2.0–2.59, 2.6–2.99, and ≥3.0). Prevalence of female sex, permanent AF, hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and history of ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack was higher in the older groups. In the oldest group, 79.7% of patients received warfarin and their time in therapeutic range, using the Japanese target INR of 1.6–2.6, was 67.1%. Rate of thromboembolic events was lower in the age groups <70 and 70–84 years (P=0.027 and P<0.001, respectively) for patients receiving warfarin compared with those who were not. In the oldest group, the rate of thromboembolism plus major hemorrhage was lower at INR 1.6–2.59.Conclusions:Warfarin could have beneficial effects even in very old NVAF patients if INR is kept between 1.6 and 2.59.

A dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitor, commonly used to treat patients with type 2 diabetes, has caused concern because of immune system side effects. We report a 48-year-old woman with type 2 diabetes who was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) after continued polyarthritis and an increase in rheumatoid factor up to 86 IU/mL after three months of treatment with sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor. The shared epitope (SE)-containing human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 alleles, which are important predisposing factors for RA, were positive. RA might have been triggered by sitagliptin due to a predisposing condition.

Performance of the methane fueled rocket nozzles are numerically investigated using computational fluid dynamics approach. A simple set of chemical reactions and kinetics for methane/oxygen nozzle flow is proposed. The chamber pressure, mixture ratio and size of the nozzle are parametrically changed to study the influence of characteristic rocket engine design parameters on nozzle losses. The amount of dissociation is high when the chamber pressure is low and the kinetic loss becomes dominant compared to the other nozzle losses. The peak specific impulse is achieved at a higher mixture ratio region as the chamber pressure increases. The chemical non-equilibrium flow appears mainly at down stream region of the nozzle throat. The influence of the chemical non-equilibrium effect decreases as the chamber pressure increases. Supersonic chemically reactive gas stays longer in the nozzle as the size of the nozzle become larger and the amount of recombination increases which decreases the kinetic loss. When the chamber pressure is high, the kinetic loss becomes small and the effect of the size of nozzle also becomes small.

A total of 160 autochthonous dengue cases transmitted by Aedes albopictus were reported from August to October 2014 in Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. Ae. albopictus is a medically important vector of dengue virus which has been expanding its geographic distribution in temperate regions. The understanding of the distribution and density of biting Ae. albopictus during the dengue outbreak case in Tokyo 2014 is valuable and important to evaluate the epidemic-risk of dengue fever in other highly populated cities in Europe. Of the 160 cases, 134 patients had visited a same park located in central Tokyo, Yoyogi Park. Mosquitoes infected with dengue virus were collected from this park suggesting that the place was the exclusive center of dengue transmission. This study aimed to collect referential data to estimate the transmission threshold of dengue virus in terms of biting density of Ae. albopictus and demonstrated high transmission-risk areas of dengue virus in Yoyogi Park and the vicinity. The overall mean density of biting Ae. albopictus, 7.13/man/8 min, was sufficiently high for successful transmission of dengue virus, and areas with biting densities higher than the overall mean density were classified as high transmission-risk areas of dengue virus in Yoyogi Park.
