Objective: To examine the association between statin use and the risk of sleep disturbances, data mining was performed on a claims database. Methods: Symmetry analysis was carried out to identify the risk of sleep disturbances after statin use during the period from January 2005 to December 2011.  Statin use in combination with hypnotic drugs was examined by prescription sequence symmetry analysis.  In this study, hypnotic drugs that are commonly prescribed for the treatment of insomnia were used as markers of sleep disturbances produced by statins. Likewise, event sequence symmetry analysis was undertaken to evaluate the association between statin use and the diagnosis of sleep disturbances.Results: Significant associations of statin use with short-acting hypnotic drugs were found, with an adjusted SR (sequence ratio) of 1.23 (95%CI: 1.04-1.45) at an interval of 12 months.  Otherwise, significant associations between individual statin use and hypnotic drug use were not found.  Significant associations between use of statins and the diagnosis of sleep disturbances were not also found in this study.Conclusions: Analysis of the claim database demonstrated that statin therapy might be associated with an emergence of sleep disturbances.  Therefore, individuals prescribed statins should be considered as having an increased risk of sleep disturbances.

運動学習の首座である小脳が障害された脊髄小脳変性症(SCD)では,脳卒中のように,use-dependent plasticityに基づいた,練習量にある程度依存した機能改善が得られるかどうかは十分に検証されていない.また介入による機能改善は病変の拡大や病状の進行による機能低下とのトレードの上に成立することにも留意する必要がある.ドイツおよび本邦の介入研究から,SCD患者に対する短期集中リハにより,短期効果として小脳性運動失調,日常生活動作,歩行が有意に改善することが示され,長期的には半年から1年程度の効果の持続が観察されている.効果の持続には,家庭での自主練習量の確保をふくめ,生活活動の向上が重要であると考えられる.

Haptoglobin (Hp), serum amyloid A (SAA), C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cells (WBC), reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs), the antioxidant barrier (Oxy-adsorbent) and thiol groups of plasma compounds (SHp) were measured in ten dogs that had been transported a distance of about 230 km within 2 h (experimental group) and in ten dogs that had not been subjected to road transportation (control group). Blood was collected via cephalic venipuncture before road transportation (T0), after road transportation (T1), and more than 6 (T6) and 24 (T24) hours after road transportation in the experimental group (Group A) and at the same time points in the control group (Group B). The GLM (general linear model) Repeated Measures procedure showed a significant difference between the two groups (P<0.0001) and a significant rise (P<0.0001) in the concentrations of Hp, SAA, CRP, WBC, ROMs, Oxy-adsorbent and SHp after road transportation in Group A, underlining that physiological and homeostatic mechanisms are modified differently at various sampling times.

We have developed a facile procedure for the synthesis of π-extended fluorubins from perylene bisimides. Iridium-catalyzed direct borylation, the Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling, and an acid-condensation sequence afforded π-extended fluorubins 1 in moderate yields. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a planar structure of 1. In addition, optical analysis and DFT calculations indicated the presence of intramolecular charge-transfer interactions in 1c.

The title imides possessing a planar acenaphthofluoranthene moiety were prepared by the Diels–Alder reaction of diacenaphtho[1,2-b:1′,2′-d]thiophene and maleic anhydride and subsequent treatment with amines. The reaction with maleimide afforded the corresponding 1:2 adduct displaying intense blue fluorescence in solution. Although the imides crystallize yellow needles, their amorphous solids are red. Concentration-dependent 1H NMR spectra of a N-octyl derivative reveal self-aggregation behavior in CDCl3.

A Ce3+ complex with tetradentate ligands based on benzimidazole moieties was synthesized. The photochemical properties of the Ce3+ complex were studied via absorption and emission spectra and emission quantum yield measurements. The effective values of the molar absorption coefficient and the emission quantum yield were estimated to be 890 dm3 mol−1 cm−1 and 0.58, respectively; these values are relatively large compared to those of common rare-earth metal complexes that exhibit 4f–4f emissions.

Recently, in domestic shipping, a shortage of crew members resulting from the severe labor environment and the aging of members are serious problems, and there is concern about stable transportation becoming difficult because of this. The hiring of younger crew members by improving the labor environment and reducing the labor load is therefore an important target. The automatic mooring is one means of mitigating the labor load of standby operations. If the shift of the mooring tension induced by tide level change and the draft change while loading can be prevented, and moreover, if the hull position can be kept automatic within the allowable limit, the labor load can be reduced. In this research, a simulator which calculates mooring tensions and ship motions was built first, and calculation accuracy was checked by model experiments. The controller was then designed using the simulator and the performance was verified by tank tests. Successful results are shown.

This technology is concerned with a new type of extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), which gives high performance of thermal insulation without containing any fluorocarbons as a blowing agent. Avoiding such typically harmful materials will help solve global environmental problems like ozone layer depletion and global warming. Kaneka Corporation developed this technology for the first time in the world. As a blowing agent of this new XPS in place of fluorocarbons we adopted isobutane, an excellent green gas that helps prevent ozone layer depletion and global warming. However, there is a problem: it is difficult to secure high performance of thermal insulation and flame retardation when isobutane is used. This originates from the fact that isobutane has a higher thermal conductivity than fluorocarbons, and is highly flammable. To overcome the former problem, we found a novel cell structure to secure high performance of thermal insulation, and we developed new technologies to control it. To solve the latter problem, namely securing flame retardation, we clarified the mechanism to suppress combustion of isobutane, and developed a new flame retardation technology by the addition of specific compounds. As a result of a combination of these technologies, we were able to develop and commercialize a new XPS with high performance of thermal insulation. These technologies directly contribute to prevent adverse effects on the global environment such as ozone layer depletion and global warming, by not using fluorocarbons. And, in addition, these technologies indirectly but more greatly contribute to global warming prevention by the reduction in carbon dioxide emissions through a high effect of energy conservation as a thermal insulator. Therefore, the thermal insulator with these technologies is valuable for environmental protection. And as the needs for a material for better energy conservation will increase, the contribution of this technology will expand much more in the future.

Global warming is a serious problem requiring immediate countermeasures. Large-scale afforestation in arid areas for the aim of absorbing CO2 is considered to be one of these measures and the research activities for it have been carried out in Leonora, Western Australia. In this study, the relationship between the biomass distribution and topographic features was examined in order to collect basic information for the selection of suitable afforestation regions in the research area using a biomass distribution map and some topographic elements. The results were as follows.(1) Plant growth is related to the movement of and the volume of runoff water derived from inequality of the ground, which leads to a biased distribution of nutrient accumulation and of surface soil thickness.(2) The total potential biomass estimated from the present topography is greater than the present biomass in the 30 km × 50 km research area. A mass of 319 kt-C could be absorbed in the research area without any improvements in the landform.(3) A substantial improvement on the environment utilizing vast arid areas by afforestation is necessary to fix enough carbon deterring global warming.

Recently, the control of non-CO2 greenhouse gases has attracted interest as a way to prevent global warming. Several research studies on the development and assessment of technologies to control CH4 and N2O emissions by human activities are under way. In the wastewater treatment field, the development of anoxic/oxic processes and the introduction of bacteria that effectively prevent N2O emission have been studied. Moreover, it has been clarified that eco engineering technologies such as artificial wetlands and soil trench systems are very effective, especially in developing countries. As for landfill disposal, CH4 oxidation by cover soil and the use of CH4 gas as a source of energy have very effectively reduced the emission of CH4. In the combustion field, it was clarified that N2O emissions vary according to the structure of each combustor and its operational conditions. And research and development concerning combustors and their optimum operational conditions are under way. Concerning automobile sources, characteristics of N2O emission from gasoline fueled vehicles installed with a catalyst were examined. Three way catalysts and so on are now being developed. Chemical industries, especially adipic acid production are another non-negligible N2O source, and cracking process related countermeasures have been applied. CH4 and N2O emissions from agricultural land are strongly dependent on the oxidation-reduction environment of soil and on fertilization, so they must be suitably managed. The development and management of ruminants feeding and suitable treatment of animal waste are very important ways to control CH4 and N2O from livestock. Research projects to improve the CH4 and N2O emission-absorption inventory, and to estimate the suitable technologies to control CH4 and N2O emission are now in progress. Combining these projects appropriately will develop technologies and systems and will make great contributions to the control of the emission of GHGs and to global warming.
