A new species of Bathyceradocus, one of the maerid amphipods, is described based on the specimens collected from sunken wood on the bottom of the Kumano-nada, central Japan. Bathyceradocus japonicus sp. nov. can be distinguished from its congeners by the number of the accessory spines on the pleonite 1, the number of articles on the accessory flagellum, and the strongly oblique palm of the gnathopod 2 with the dentate margin. A brief note on the behavior of the new species and a key to species of the genus are provided.

〔目的〕脳卒中片麻痺者の自立歩行能力を判別するのに有効な指標について検討した。〔対象〕脳卒中発症後1ヶ月以上経過した片麻痺者62名(歩行自立群34名,非自立群28名)であった。〔方法〕歩行時に必要と考えられる運動機能と認知機能を,Functional Balance Scale(FBS)下位4項目(立位保持・移乗・前方リーチ・360°回転)のテストと,‘Stops walking when talking' test(SWWT)によって評価した。なお,FBSは境界点への到達項目数で判定した。統計的手法としては,二群間で各調査項目の差異を比較し,有意差の認められた項目を独立変数に,歩行自立度を従属変数にしてロジスティック回帰分析を行った。〔結果〕1) FBS4項目到達・SWWT歩行継続,2) FBS4項目到達・SWWT歩行停止,3) FBS3項目到達・SWWT歩行継続の場合には自立歩行が可能と判定された。〔結語〕境界点への到達項目数という新たな視点からFBSを用いるとともに,歩行中の認知機能評価という新たな指標を取り入れることで,より実践的な自立歩行能力の把握が可能になると考えられた。今後は縦断的かつ前向きな調査を行い,判断指標としての妥当性を検証していく必要がある。

The development of deep learning technology has enabled machines to achieve high-level accuracy in interpreting medical images. While many previous studies have examined the detection of pulmonary nodules in chest X-rays using deep learning, the application of this technology to heart failure remains rare. In this paper, we investigated the performance of a deep learning algorithm in terms of diagnosing heart failure using images obtained from chest X-rays. We used 952 chest X-ray images from a labeled database published by the National Institutes of Health. Two cardiologists verified and relabeled a total of 260 "normal" and 378 "heart failure" images, with the remainder being discarded because they had been incorrectly labeled. Data augmentation and transfer learning were used to obtain an accuracy of 82% in diagnosing heart failure using the chest X-ray images. Furthermore, heatmap imaging allowed us to visualize decisions made by the machine. Deep learning can thus help support the diagnosis of heart failure using chest X-ray images.

Although hypokalemia is an adverse effect of Yokukansan preparation, especially in geriatric patients, its association with age is unclear. We investigated whether age is a risk factor for hypokalemia. This single-center retrospective cohort study, conducted at Tokyo Women’s Medical University, Medical Center East between June 2015 and May 2019, included patients who received the Yokukansan preparation. The primary outcome was hypokalemia (serum potassium level: < 3.0 mEq/L). A multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was used to determine risk factors, hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). The cut-off age was also examined. Of 665 patients (median age: 78 years; interquartile range: 68–84 years), 55 (8.3%) developed hypokalemia associated with Yokukansan preparation. Risk factors for hypokalemia were age (HR: 1.013, 95% CI: 1.006–1.021, p < 0.001), dementia (HR: 0.500, 95% CI: 0.357–0.682, p < 0.001), serum albumin level (HR: 0.754, 95% CI: 0.669–0.850, p < 0.001), and daily Yokukansan preparation dose ≥ 7.5 g (HR: 1.446, 95% CI: 1.144–1.850, p = 0.002). The cut-off ages were >75 and >80 years but not 65 years and >70 years. Clinicians should assess risk factors and monitor serum potassium levels to avoid hypokalemia associated with the Yokukansan preparation.

We investigated the prevalence of Salmonella enterica and its antimicrobial resistance from 79 green anoles, the invasive alien species inhabits Haha-jima of the Ogasawara archipelago. Samples were collected during the period between 2009 and 2010. The resistance of S. enterica of these samples against 12 common antimicrobial agents was also determined. Salmonella strains, including serovar Oranienburg and Aberdeen, were detected from the large intestines of 30.4% of 79 green anole samples. And 37.5% of which were resistant to Oxytetracycline. This study suggests that green anoles may play an important role of the infection of S. enterica on this island. Attention is needed from the aspect of public and ecological health.

The Tolai people in the province of East New Britain, Papua New Guinea, have long used a form of shell money called tabu. They use that indigenous currency for various purposes: as "bride price," as a valuable shown and distributed in rituals, and as a medium of commercial exchange. These days, the provincial government is planning to recognize the tabu as the second legal tender in the province alongside the kina, which is the legal tender for all of Papua New Guinea. In this article, I will consider how these two currencies coexist and relate to each other, especially as media of exchange. Analyzing several practical cases of transactions, I will show that the relation between the two currencies falls into three patterns, as follows: (1) The two currencies are used for discrete transactions that differ in terms of the goods exchanged, as well as the situation, and so on. For example, only the tabu can be used as payment for initiation ceremonies into a secret society, and only the kina can be used in stores in town. They form different spheres of exchange that are exclusive to each other and have their own intrinsic value. (2) Either of the two currencies may be used for transactions that deal with the same goods in the same situation. In such transaction, both the tabu and the kina form a common standard of value via a fixed exchange rate. For example, in small village stores, various goods are valued under this single standard and are sold in both currencies. And these days, one can pay taxes, court fines and other fees at the government office using either of the currencies. (3) Besides pattern (2), this pattern involves the use of both currencies for the same kind of transactions, without necessarily maintaining a common value standard between the two. The use of both currencies takes place in an incoherent fashion for the exchange of exactly the same goods in the same situation. Transactions of this kind are typically seen by small vendors who deal in snacks and small goods used after a funeral. Patterns (1) and (2) can be understood as a single model, in which the tabu and kina keep their own separate spheres of exchange while maintaining an overlapping common area in each of their peripheries. In that common area, the two currencies are used together for various transactions under a fixed standard of value. But, at the same time, transactions according to those patterns keep the clear distinction between the two spheres of exchange. Meanwhile, this single model does not include the other pattern, pattern (3), in which the tabu and kina are used for similar transactions without having a common standard of value. That means that the two currencies can coexist and be used together, albeit incoherently, without adjusting the value through an exchange rate. As described above, the model that integrates patterns (1) and (2) is not consistent with pattern (3). But that is never an either-or situation. The relation between the tabu and kina in Tolai society is what allows these three inconsistent patterns to exist simultaneously.

We previously reported the association of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRcreat) calculated from the serum creatinine level (S-Cr) measured using the Jaffe method with the GFR (eGFRcys) estimated from the serum cystatin C level (CysC). However, few studies have compared the eGFRcreat using the enzymatic method with the eGFRcys. It is unclear whether there are differences in the results of renal function assessment. The purpose of this study was to compare the eGFRcreat calculated from the S-Cr with the eGFRcys calculated from the CysC in patients in whom the S-Cr and CysC were simultaneously measured using the enzymatic method, examine the correlations of respective parameters, and clarify physiological factors involved in differences among the parameters. The subjects were 1334 patients treated in 5 institutions. The mean values and correlation coefficient were statistically analyzed using Student's t-test and Pearson's test, respectively. Influential factors between formulae were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The mean eGFRcreat was 67.0 mL/min/1.73 m2, being significantly higher than the mean eGFRcys (63.2). Multiple regression analysis showed that factors influencing differences in the S-Cr and CysC included the sex, age, serum albumin, and blood urea nitrogen BUN/S-Cr. Furthermore, factors involved in the overestimation of the eGFRcreat in comparison with the eGFRcys included the serum albumin and BUN/S-Cr. The differences between the eGFRcreat calculated from the S-Cr and eGFRcys were less marked than when adopting the Jaffe method in our previous study. However, the eGFRcreat were higher than the eGFRcys in patients with malnutrition or dehydration.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the relationship between birth order, occupational mobility and the opportunity to enter selective middle schools, making use of an individual data set from Hyogo Prefecture's Daiichi Kobe Middle School ("KobeIttyu"). The challenge here is to clarify the different roles a family expects of its children, in keeping with the order of their birth in this modern era when considering educational opportunities and occupational mobility. The following approach was used in this analysis. First, we defined the Eldest Son's Priority (ESP) of opportunity to enter a selective middle school as the ratio between expectation and observation of the rate for eldest sons, calculated using data for birth order and sibling constitution. Second, we compared two different regions by refering to recent results for Yamagata Prefecture's Tsuruoka Middle School. The following are the main findings of this analysis: (1) The occupational mobility pattern at Kobe-Ittyu is characterized by a remarkable tendency, namely that the business sector (eg. company employees, merchants and artisans) and the nonprofit sector (eg. public servants, teachers and farmers) reproduce thems elve s. (2) The ESP of opportunity to enter a selective middle school was higher in Kobe than it was in Tsuruoka. This tendency was true regardless of family business. In other words, the standard of ESP was more influenced by region than by occupation. (3) The ESP of opportunity to enter Kobe-Ittyu showed a tendency to increase in the business sector but decrease in the nonprofit sector. But the group that maintained the highest level was that of public servants who belong to the nonprofit sector. (4) Within the business sector, the relationships between entering a selective middle school and gaining occupation in commerce or industry were as follows. In the modern commercial sector, the two connected without conflict. For the industrial sector, however, they separated and conflicted with one another while for the traditional commercial sector, they did not conflict but connected negatively.

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to study the morphology of starch granules and the strength of market Udon (Japanese noodles), that is, fresh Udon, frozen Udon and cooled Udon after cooking. Udon samples were cooked for a given time and observed with SEM and also we measured the breaking strength. The following results were obtained. 1.The degree of swelling of starch granules in cooked Udon samples differed with the position from the surface. The starch granules near the surface swelled extremely and did not retain their original granular form. 2.A black ring was observed in the cross-section of all cooked Udon in SEM images. The black ring may be caused by the difference in the water content between near the surface and the core of cooked Udon. 3.The starch granules in the core of cooked Udon had a distinct form, but they were not a round shape. The shallow surface layer of each starch granule swelled and gave high contrast. The core of the each starch granule showed low contrast because of its compact structure, which looked black in the SEM images. The area of the black zone was different among Udon samples. 4.There was a correlation between the total area of low contrast zone in the starch granules and the breaking strength of Udon. The area of low contrast zone can be used for an evaluation scale of cooked Udon.

Women’s employment in Japan has increased substantially in recent decades, however little large scale research has been done on the impact of various types of working conditions on women’s health. The aim of this study was to assess the menstrual cycle and menstrual pain problems of female workers and to investigate the factors that relate to them. The questionnaire was distributed to 8,150 women and 2,166 responded (26.6%). An anonymous self-administered questionnaire was used to get information about demographics, menstrual cycle status, the degree of menstrual pain, and employment and environmental factors. Irregular cycle menstruation was experienced in 17.1% of responded workers. We discovered the relationship between irregular menstrual cycles and stress, smell of cigarettes, age and smoking habits. Some degree of menstrual pain was experienced in 77.6% of responded workers. This study showed the relationship between menstrual pain and stress, high temperature and humidity, age, BMI, and number of births. In conclusion, we found that stress is thought to be an important factor related with menstrual cycle irregularities and menstrual pain among Japanese female workers.

C型肝炎ウイルス(HCV)は,1989年カイロン社の研究グループにより発見された.日本では200万人,世界中で17000万人にのぼる感染者が存在し,インターフェロンを中心とした治療が行われているがその効果は未だ不十分である.これまでHCVには良いウイルス培養系と実験用の感染小動物が存在しないことがHCVの基礎研究の妨げになってきた.我々はHCVによる劇症肝炎患者からHCV株を分離し,その株が他の慢性肝炎患者由来の株に比べ,効率的に増殖できることを明らかにしてきた.さらにこの株を用いることにより培養細胞中での感染性HCV粒子生成に成功した.この感染性HCV粒子は培養細胞だけでなくチンパンジーにも感染可能であった.この系を用いることにより,HCVの感染から分泌まですべてのステップが培養細胞内で観察可能であり,ウイルスの複製機構の解明や抗ウイルス薬の開発に有用であると考えられる.

陸生ヘビ類へのマダニ寄生例に関する報告は少ない.そこで,宮崎県宮崎市内の1地域(K渓谷)でヘビ類を捕獲し,その種類と寄生マダニについて調査した.ヘビ類捕獲時に触診法と視診法でマダニ寄生が確認された場合には,飽血までヘビ類を飼育してマダニを採取した.また,マダニ付着を認めない場合も,許される範囲で約2週間飼育し,寄生の有無を確認した. 調査地域ではシマヘビ,ヤマカガシ,アオダイショウを主体に7種類のヘビの棲息が観察されている.今回,ヤマカガシ,マムシ,アオダイショウでマダニ寄生が認められたが,寄生種はタカサゴキララマダニ若虫のみで,成虫や幼虫の寄生は確認されなかった.また,フラッグスィープ法で行なった同地域のマダニ相の調査では,チマダニ属が優勢で,タカサゴキララマダニの採取例は希であった. 以上の結果から,ヘビがタカサゴキララマダニの生活環の中の一部に含まれていること,ヘビ捕獲法がマダニ相の調査に有用なことが示された.
