Increases in the expression of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) are widely known to be involved in aberrant growth in the early stage of colon cancer development. We herein demonstrated that the novel indole compound MW-03 reduced PGE2-induced cAMP formation by catalization to an inactive metabolite by inducing 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase through the activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ. MW-03 also inhibited colon cancer cell growth by arresting the cell cycle at the S phase. Although the target of MW-03 for cell cycle inhibition has not yet been identified, these dual anti-cancer effects of MW-03 itself and/or its leading compound(s) on colon cancer cells may reduce colon cancer development and, thus, have potential as a novel treatment for the early stage of this disease.

三次元造形装置は、意匠モデルやコンペ・展示会出展用モデルの作成に多く利用され、カラーモデル化が求められている。本研究では、ナイロン粉末焼結型RP造形品のカラーモデルの提供を目的に、RP基材に適した塗装および着色技術の開発を行った。前処理、塗料、塗装方法、塗装仕様と加工技術などの塗装適性の検討により、RP製品モデルに活用できる物性と塗装外観をもつ塗装工程の開発をした。塗装では、立体造形品をプロトタイプモデルとして有効に活用できる外観を実現することができた。

This study examined three validity types from the Functional Aggression Scale –factorial validity, cross validity, and criterion validity– using data from 382 Japanese juvenile delinquents referred to Japanese family courts. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the Functional Aggression Scale consisted of four factors; however, free estimations were determined to be a better fit for the data than limiting the factor loading to 1. Multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis revealed the same degree of measurement invariance for the four juvenile delinquent characteristics studied (i.e., age, sex, residential area, and level of delinquency). The Wilcoxon rank-sum test for the factor scores indicated that the violent group’s mean scores for three separate factors (influence/coercion, punishment/retaliation, and identity) were significantly higher than those of the nonviolent group. Also, the violent group’s mean avoidance/defense factor score was not significantly higher than the nonviolent group.

The effect of a task that encouraged participants to divide their attention between a present distractive task and previous negative events on improving negative mood and evaluation was investigated. Participants (n=24) were randomly assigned to three task groups: (A) distraction, (B) distraction while recalling negative events, and (C) recalling negative events without distraction. Then, they performed each task for 10 minutes. Negative mood and the evaluation of previous negative events were assessed after induced rumination, task engagement, and resting for two minutes. Analyses of variance indicated no significant differences in negative mood between the groups. However, groups A and B, compared to group C showed a higher reduction in the evaluation of negative events. Moreover, only group B showed a significant reduction in negative evaluation between “after task” and “after resting.” These results suggest that when a person cannot stop ruminating about negative events, distraction with recalling negative events would be more effective for improving negative evaluations than merely continuing to ruminate.

本稿では,日本の出土状況に個別発見貨論を適用するための具体化を行った上で,中世から近世初期における中国地方におけるデータを収集・分析し,すでに検討を加えている九州地方における個別発見貨データと合わせて考察する。結論として,個別発見貨概念適用の主たる成果は,備蓄銭慣習開始以前の中国地方における銭貨流通の実質性を検出したことにある。これは,すでに九州地方における個別発見貨データから示された結果や,小畑による廃棄・遺棄銭の研究成果とも共通している。さらに,九州地方における銭貨流通の展開が,中国地方におけるそれと比較して,より早期から見られることが分かった。また,銭種構成に関して,個別発見貨,備蓄銭,廃棄・遺棄銭のデータの間に,同様の傾向が見られる中で,無文銭や洪武通宝といった特定の銭種について,小倉や石見銀山など一部の地域に突出して出土する現象が見られた。今後も,残された諸課題を追究しながら,現在日本貨幣史の主要な諸問題の解明に,個別発見貨資料の分析を通じて寄与していきたい。

To facilitate the workshop as a place for cooperative learning is a technique to support dialogues among participants of the workshop.The results of research and analysis on participants' intrinsic motivation are as follows.1. Participants' intrinsic motivations are grown and their consciousness and ability to act are changed by supporting their dialogues with emphasis on their competency and autonomy.2. Nine learning activities are developed with respect to each of three layers in the learning steps. The more participants achieve learning activities, the more they grow and change in their consciousness and activities.

Background: The prevalence of Internet addiction (IA) among employed adults has not been reported using a large sample. To clarify the actual status of addictive Internet use among employed adults, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and the risk factors of IA and at-risk IA among employed adults in Japan.Methods: This cross-sectional study surveyed all junior and senior high school personnel in Shimane Prefecture, a rural area in Japan. Eligible participants included 3,211 junior and senior high school personnel (1,259 men and 1,952 women). Participants completed a questionnaire on their activities and factors related to Internet use.Results: The prevalence of IA and at-risk IA was 0.03% and 4.82%, respectively. Furthermore, game playing was shown to be the Internet activity most closely associated with at-risk IA.Conclusions: This study showed that around 5% of school personnel in a rural area in Japan are at risk for developing addiction to the Internet and that using the Internet for game playing is related to at-risk IA. Our results suggest that employed adults should be instructed to use the Internet properly.

[Purpose] The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of circuit exercise on obesity index, appetite regulating hormones and insulin resistance in middle-aged obese women. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects of this study were 26 obese middle-aged women who were selected among participants in exercise class at K Region Health Promotion Center in South Korea and were randomly assigned to the exercise group (n=13; age 50.15 ± 3.82, % body fat 38.79 ± 3.28) and the control group (n=13; age 49.84 ± 2.96, % body fat 37.46 ± 2.51). Circuit exercise consisted of aerobic exercise and resistance exercise for 5 weeks and 50 minutes for 12 weeks. Before and after exercise we measured obesity index, leptin, ghrelin, fasting blood glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance in all subjects. A repeated-measured two-way of variance was performed for comparison of the treatment effects between the exercise and control groups. [Results] Body weight, BMI, and body fat percentage of obese index decreased significantly. Leptin of dietary regulation hormone was significantly decreased and ghrelin was significantly increased. Insulin and insulin resistance was significantly decreased. [Conclusion] Circuit exercise can be viewed as an effective exercise program to induce changes in appetite regulating hormones and to improve insulin resistance by mechanisms of energy homeostasis by weight loss.

The adaption of methods from last century’s glycoanalysis into packages for performing the 21st century’s O-linked glycomics has been slow. However, the involvement of O-linked glycans in many of the physical barriers in the body (cell membranes, epithelial and mucosal layers and cartilage surface) points towards a role in many of this century’s health sector challenges. These include but are not limited to inflammation, infections, and degradation of tissue due to aging. This review focus on the development of O-linked glycomics, including current state-of-the-art release methods, analytical characterisation using mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography. The future outcome emerging technologies for O-linked glycomics including novel chemistry, analytical methods for quantification and characterisation and glycobioinformatics is presented.

We previously proposeda power assist robot and conductedexperiments for cervical cord injury(CCI) patients. This paper proposed a new type of robot orthosis by making of their residual function around their shoulder in order to operate the wheelchair. A lock/unlock mechanism on the elbow joint is effectively used to transmit the residual function around the shoulder to the hand. We confirmedthat three patients with CCI could use their residual functionaround their shoulderand operate a wheelchair effectively in outdoor environment like high resistance roads and roads with a slope by measuring velocity of the wheelchair and electromyography of his shoulder muscle.

With cosmetics, one cannot determine at a glance exactly what product a person is using. This paper analyzes the impact of a consumer network on cosmetics, which are goods that are not conspicuous. Comments in word-of-mouth websites for cosmetics is used as a proxy variable for purchasing behavior, and the relationship between a consumer network and purchasing behavior in a social network is analyzed. In cosmetics, which are not conspicuous, this paper has confirmed that consumers exhibit the same purchasing behavior as when they are in a relationship with structural equivalence within a network and not just in relationships with cohesion.
