With respect to collaborative physical tasks, gaze and gestures play significant roles when referring to physical objects. In video-mediated communication, however, such nonverbal cues become "ineffectual" when they are presented via a 2D monitor, making video-mediated collaborative physical tasks inefficient. This study focuses on gaze cues to support remote collaborative physical tasks using a mobile terminal and uses an eye-shaped display, "ThirdEye," a simple add-on display that represents a remote participant's gaze direction. ThirdEye is expected to be especially effective when used with mobile terminals. We investigated whether the ThirdEye’s gaze shift is effective in leading a local observer's attention toward objects in the local environment, even when ThirdEye is presented with the actual face image of a remote person. Experimental results show that ThirdEye can lead the local participant’s attention to intended objects faster than without ThirdEye.

We previously reported that black tea consumption for 12 wk reduced the risk of acute upper respiratory tract inflammation, and improved secretory capacity in individuals with low salivary SIgA levels (Tanaka Y et al. 2021. Jpn Pharmacol Ther 49: 273–288). These results suggested that habitual black tea consumption improves mucosal immunity. Therefore, in this study we evaluated the effect of black tea intake on gut microbiota, which is known to be involved in mucosal immunity, by analyzing the bacterial flora and the short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) concentration of feces collected during the above clinical study. The clinical design was a randomized, single-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled study with 72 healthy Japanese adult males and females, who consumed three cups of black tea (Black Tea Polymerized Polyphenols 76.2 mg per day) or placebo per day for 12 wk. In all subjects intake of black tea significantly increased abundance of Prevotella and decreased fecal acetic acid concentration. Particularly in the subjects with low salivary SIgA levels, the change over time of total bacteria, Prevotella, and butyrate-producing bacteria, which are involved in normalizing immune function, were higher in the black tea group than in the placebo group. In subjects with low abundance of Flavonifractor plautii a butyrate-producing bacteria, black tea consumption significantly increased salivary SIgA concentration and the absolute number of Flavonifractor plautii. In conclusion, our results suggest that improvement of mucosal immunity via an increase in butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut may partly contribute to the suppressive effect of black tea consumption on acute upper respiratory tract inflammation observed in our previous report.

Currently, antimicrobial-resistant staphylococci, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP), are frequently isolated from canine superficial pyoderma in Japan. However, little is known regarding the nasal prevalence of MRSP in pet dogs. Here, we determined the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant staphylococci in nares and affected sites of pet dogs with superficial pyoderma. Of the 125 nares and 108 affected sites of pet dogs with superficial pyoderma, 107 (13 species) and 110 (eight species) staphylococci strains, respectively, were isolated. The isolation rate of S. pseudintermedius from pyoderma sites (82/110 strains, 74.5%) was significantly higher than that from nares (57/107 strains, 53.3%) (P<0.01). Notably, the prevalence of MRSP (18/57 strains, 31.6%) in nares was equivalent to that in pyoderma sites (28/82 strains, 34.1%). Furthermore, the phenotypes and genotypes of antimicrobial resistance in MRSP strains from nares were similar to those from pyoderma sites. Our findings revealed that the prevalence of antimicrobial-resistant staphylococci in the nares of pet dogs with superficial pyoderma is the same level as that in affected sites. Therefore, considerable attention should be paid to the antimicrobial resistance of commensal staphylococci in companion animals.

There are several irrigation channel patterns peculiar to Tsugaru Plain, which are classified as follows.1) Parallel channel group: Several channels run in parallel and each one flows into a group of fields.This pattern was perhaps established against heavy droughts in Edo era, whose origin is not yet certain and it has not been reported elsewhere in Japan. The peculiarity of this pattern is not recognized by local farmers.2) Passing through channel group: Several channels run long way through paddy fields of other village directly downstream.3) Channel group without distinct draining end4) Channel group without distinct nourishing origin.5) Crossing-over channel group

骨格筋は身体運動を行うための最終的な出力器官としての役割を担っている.その最小単位は筋原線維を構成する筋節であり,収縮タンパク質であるミオシンとアクチン間で滑走が生じることで筋は収縮する.筋に発生する張力はその生理的断面積と,筋収縮速度はその筋長と相関し,筋の基本的な機能的特性を決定づける.臨床的に測定される筋力は,関節運動によって発生するモーメントによって提示されることが多く,筋張力以外にも関節の構造や屈曲角度の影響を受ける.筋力増強にはさまざまな原則や特異性が存在するため,それらを十分理解したうえで処方することが効率よく増強効果を得るために必要である.

Trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR) occurs rarely during oral and maxillofacial surgery. We report a case of sinus arrest caused by TCR during extraction of an impacted lower third molar in a 41-year-old woman referred to our department for tooth extraction. The preoperative electrocardiogram showed normal sinus rhythm. When the surgeon started luxation of the left impacted lower third molar with the patient under intravenous sedation with propofol, sinus arrest suddenly occurred. The surgery and propofol administration were discontinued immediately. The period of sinus arrest was 20 seconds, after which heart rate recovered to 70 beats per minute. The operation was resumed with the patient under propofol sedation, and no further sinus arrest occurred. It is likely that sinus arrest in this patient was caused by mechanical pressure on the inferior alveolar nerve. To prevent TCR, it is important to avoid invasive procedures and to use an appropriate local anesthetic during oral and maxillofacial surgery.

When Japan opened the gate to the world and Japanese intellectuals began to introduce Western ideas into this country in the 19th century, Japanese intellectual leaders made great efforts to have them understood by people in general. They tried to coin new words to translate Western ideas. In order to convey the idea of‘religion’, they adopted the traditional word‘shukyo’, which had already been in use among Buddhists of China, Korea, Vietnam and Japan. (Contemporary Chinese pronounce it as chiou tsong.)But the word shukyo does not necessarily correspond to the Western word religion.The author of this article exhaustively checked passages where the word shukyo is mentioned throughout Chinese versions of Buddhist scriptures and various scriptural texts of Japanese Buddhism, and tried to make clear the various nuances of the use of the term with implications.One of the noteworthy results of this research is as follows;In the Lankavatara-sutra shu is the Chinese and Japanese translation of the Sanskrit term siddhanta, whereas kyo is the Chinese translation of the Sanskrit term desana. The word shukyo is a combination of shu and kyo.Then what is the meaning of the term shu or siddhanta? And what is the meaning of desana?The author of this article discusses in this connection the meaning of siddhanta in various philosophical texts of India and the Four Kinds of Siddhanta in the Mahaprajnaparamita-upadesa-sastra traditionally ascribed to Nagarjuna. The author discusses also the meaning of desana (teaching) in relation to siddhanta.One of the conclusions to which we are led is: siddhanta means something fundamental or the ultimate principle which is ineffable, i.e. beyond our thinking and conceptualisation, whereas desana is something provisional, conveniency.Dharma as the ultimate principle in Indian thought is also discussed in this connection.In the Appendix the author mentioned similar ideas and thoughts held by some Western thinkers.[The epitome of this article was published in the author's article:“The Meaning of the Terms‘Philosophy’and‘Religion’in Various Traditions”, included in Gerald James Larson and Eliot Deutsch (ed.): Interpreting Across Boundaries, New Essays in Comparative Philosophy, Princeton University Press, 1988, pp. 137-151.]

To evaluate the scapulo-humeral rhythm of patients with a clinical condition, not only a quantitative evaluation (range of motion) but also a qualitative evaluation (a structural method that measures scapular upward rotation) is required. This study investigated the effectiveness of an analysis that assessed the scapular-girdle dynamics, in which the direction and translation of the coordinates were analyzed using electromyograms of the scapular muscle activities of the elevated upper limb. Scapula upward rotation did not show a difference during shoulder flexion and abduction. The difference between shoulder flexion and abduction was more prominent when we used a structural method that measured scapular upward rotation including clavicle movement. When considering a structural method that measures scapular upward rotation during shoulder flexion and abduction, the function of the scapular muscle must be taken into account, since it may worsen and develop into a clinical condition. The direction of gravity that acts on the shoulder joint changes when the shoulder position changes during exercise. Therefore, a change is observed in the mechanical energy of the shoulder. It should be possible to design a therapeutic-exercise program that includes exercise positions that improve the function of the scapular and shoulder muscles to treat shoulder disorders.

Epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia is a childhood-onset generalized epilepsy, which is more common in women. Over 90% of the patients continue antiseizure medications, especially valproate, and more than 60% of cases are refractory. The efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation in treating eyelid myoclonia is still unknown. Polycystic ovary syndrome is highly prevalent in women with epilepsy receiving valproate; nevertheless, no reports on the complication of polycystic ovary syndrome in women with epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia were found. In this report, a case of a woman with epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia who developed polycystic ovary syndrome while receiving valproate and underwent vagus nerve stimulation is described. A 26-year-old female patient has been administered valproate since the occurrence of generalized seizures at the age of 12 years and then developed polycystic ovary syndrome. When the dose of valproate was reduced as an adult, her epilepsy became intractable. Information from her mother led to a video electroencephalography re-evaluation, and she was finally diagnosed 15 years after onset. The patient underwent vagus nerve stimulation. In a short-term follow-up, she achieved >50% seizure reduction at low output currents of <1.00 mA. Polycystic ovary syndrome was cured 15 months after valproate withdrawal. There are three key points presented in this case: Vagus nerve stimulation therapy was useful for treating epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia with absence. Women with epilepsy with eyelid myoclonia taking valproate must be aware of the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome and monitor their menstrual cycles. Information from the family, such as home videos, helped with the diagnosis.

This paper examines Japanese workers' needs to use English for occupational purposes, employing a statistical analysis of several datasets from social surveys based on a random sample of the entire workforce in the country. Although many policy makers, business leaders, and English language teachers often emphasize the occupational importance of English proficiency, there has been little research which precisely estimates how many workers are required to use English in their workplaces. Therefore, a secondary analysis was conducted using five datasets with a random sample: Japanese General Social Surveys (2002, 2003, 2006, and 2010 versions) and Working Person Survey (2000). The results show that (1) less than 10% of the respondents use English in workplace, (2) about 40% feel the needs to use English, and (3) the responses vary widely according to their demographic and occupational factors such as type of job, educational background, and firm size. Based on these findings, the paper discusses the validity of foreign language education policies of the Japanese government.

“めまい”の原因疾患を検討するため,15か月で1,000例のめまい患者を集めretrospectiveに解析した。めまい患者で最多の診断は,頚性めまいで89%を占めた。頚性めまいと診断し,頚部MRIを施行し得た症例の中で最も多い頚椎・頚髄病変は脊柱管狭窄症であり,脊柱管前後径の正確な測定とその診断基準に沿った判定が重要であると考えられた。また頚椎・頚髄病変が根底にあり,さらにめまいを誘発した頚の姿勢への負荷では,その原因が性別や年代により異なっていた。特に,高齢女性の場合,農作業や草取りなどの庭仕事で長時間の前傾姿勢を取ることが誘因となっていたことは特徴的であった。頚性めまいの患者において,頚・肩筋群の過緊張や緊張型頭痛を伴う場合には,筋弛緩薬による是正が最も重要であり,治療により1週間以内にめまいが消失あるいは明らかに改善した症例は90%であった。本研究では,頚椎・頚髄病変が根底にあり,さらに頚に過度の負荷をかけることでめまいが誘発される頚性めまいの重要性について述べた。
