Abstract
Agranulocytosis is a serious adverse effect of methimazole (MMI) and propylthiouracil (PTU), and although there have been reports suggesting a dose-dependent incidence in relation to both drugs, the evidence has not been conclusive. The objective of our study was to determine whether the incidences of agranulocytosis induced by MMI and PTU exhibit dose-dependency. The subjects were 27,784 patients with untreated Graves' disease, 22,993 of whom were on an antithyroid drug treatment regimen for more than 90 days. Within this subset, 18,259 patients had been treated with MMI, and 4,734 had been treated with PTU. The incidence of agranulocytosis according to dose in the MMI group was 0.13% at 10 mg/day, 0.20% at 15 mg/day, 0.32% at 20 mg/day, and 0.47% at 30 mg/day, revealing a significant dose-dependent increase. In the PTU group, there were 0 cases of agranulocytosis at doses of 125 mg/day and below, 0.33% at 150 mg/day, 0.31% at 200 mg/day, and 0.81% at 300 mg/day, also revealing a significant dose-dependent increase. The incidence of agranulocytosis at MMI 15 mg and PTU 300 mg, i.e., at the same potency in terms of hormone synthesis inhibition, was 0.20% and 0.81%, respectively, and significantly higher in the PTU group. Our findings confirm a dose-dependent increase in the incidence of agranulocytosis with both drugs, but that at comparable thyroid hormone synthesis inhibitory doses PTU has a considerably higher propensity to induce agranulocytosis than MMI does.

Postpartum acute myometritis suppresses expression of contraction-associated proteins in the gravid uterus. J Reprod Immunol 2024; 165:104299.

Abstract
Uterine atony is a major contributor to postpartum hemorrhage. We previously proposed the novel histological concept of postpartum acute myometritis (PAM) to elucidate the pathophysiology of uterine atony. This concept involves the infiltration of macrophages and neutrophils, as well as mast cell and complement activation in the myometrium. However, the pathological mechanism underlying uterine atony in the context of PAM remains unclear. Herein, we focused on uterine contraction-associated proteins (CAPs) including connexin 43 (Cx43), oxytocin receptors (OXR), prostaglandin receptors EP1, EP3, FP, and protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1. This follow-up study aimed to compare CAP expression between PAM and control groups. We selected 38 PAM subjects from the cases enrolled in our amniotic fluid embolism registry between 2011 and 2018. Control tissues from 10 parturients were collected during cesarean section. We stained the myometrial tissues with the following CAP markers, inflammatory cell markers, and other markers: Cx43, OXR, EP1, EP3, FP, PAR-1, C5a receptor, tryptase, neutrophil elastase, CD68, β-actin, and Na+/K+-ATPase. The immunostaining-positive areas of Cx43, OXR, EP1, EP3, and FP standardized by β-actin in the PAM tissue were significantly smaller than in the control group, whereas those of PAR-1 and Na+/K+-ATPase increased significantly in the PAM group. The Cx43- and OXR-positive areas correlated negatively with the immunostaining-positive cell numbers of CD68 and tryptase with halo, respectively. PAM may impair individual and synchronized myocyte contraction, leading to uterine atony refractory to uterotonics. Further cell-based studies are needed to elucidate the molecular mechanism by which inflammatory cells suppress CAP expression.

Abstract
The placenta is the largest fetal organ, which connects the mother to the fetus and supports most aspects of organogenesis through the transport of nutrients and gases. However, further studies are needed to assess placental pathology as a reliable predictor of long-term physical growth or neural development in newborns. The Consensus Statement of the Amsterdam Placental Workshop Group (APWGCS) on the sampling and definition of placental lesions has resulted in diagnostic uniformity in describing the most common pathological lesions of the placenta and contributed to the international standardization of descriptions of placental pathology. In this narrative review, we reclassified descriptions of placental pathology from previously published papers according to the APWGCS criteria and comparatively assessed the relationship with infantile physical and/or neural development. After reclassification and reevaluation, placental pathology of maternal vascular malperfusion, one of the APWGCS criteria, emerged as a promising candidate as a universal predictor of negative infantile neurodevelopmental outcomes, not only in term and preterm deliveries but also in high-risk groups of very low birthweight newborns. However, there are few studies that examined placental pathology according to the full categories of APWGCS and also included low-risk general infants. It is necessary to incorporate the assessment of placental pathology utilizing APWGCS in the design of future birth cohort studies as well as in follow-up investigations of high-risk infants.

Abstract
The eelgrass Zostera marina L. has several economic roles, from its earlier usage in the insulation industry to protecting the earth from global warming. In this study, we aimed to discover the cosmetic potential of Z. marina. A methanolic extract of Z. marina showed anti-phototoxicity and anti-melanogenesis activity with an IC50 of 17.5 μM, followed by a phytochemical analysis of its phenolic constituents. Ten compounds (1-10) were isolated by several chromatographic techniques and identified by means of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) as well as high-resolution mass spectrometry (HR/MS). The identified compounds are caffeic acid (1), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (protocatechuic acid) (2), luteolin (3), diosmetin (4), 4-coumaroyl-4'-hydroxyl phenyllactic acid (5), rosmarinic acid (6), caffeoyl-4'-hydroxy-phenyllactic acid (isorinic acid) (7), apigenin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (8), luteolin 7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (9), and luteolin 7-sulfate (10). This is the first report to identify compounds 5 and 7 from the family Zosteraceae. The isolated compounds were assessed for their anti-aging abilities and were found to exhibit good anti-phototoxicity and anti-melanogenesis activities by increasing the viability of UVB-irradiated HaCaT cells by 6% to 34% and by inhibiting melanin synthesis in B16 melanoma cells by 44% to 65%.

Abstract
Amniotic fluid embolism (AFE) and placental abruption (PA) are typical obstetric diseases associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). AFE is more likely to be complicated with enhanced fibrinolysis than PA. AFE may have an additional mechanism activating fibrinolytic cascade. We aimed to compare the coagulation/fibrinolysis factors among AFE, PA, and peripartum controls. We assessed AFE cases registered in the Japanese AFE Registry, and PA cases complicated with DIC (severe PA) and peripartum controls recruited at our hospital. The following factors in plasma were compared: prothrombin fragment 1 + 2 (PF1 + 2), plasmin α2-plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC), tissue factor (TF), tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), annexin A2 (AnnA2), total thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) including its activated form (TAFIa), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-type 1 (PAI-1). PF1 + 2 and PIC were markedly increased in both AFE (n = 27) and severe PA (n = 12) compared to controls (n = 23), without significant difference between those disease groups; however, PIC in AFE showed a tendency to elevate relative to PF1 + 2, compared with severe PA. AFE had significantly increased tPA and decreased total TAFI levels compared with severe PA and controls, which might be associated with further plasmin production in AFE and underlie its specific fibrinolytic activation pathway.

Abstract
Objective This study assessed the efficacy of machine learning in predicting thyrotoxicosis and hypothyroidism [thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) >10.0 mIU/L] by leveraging age and sex as variables and integrating biochemical test parameters used by the Japan Society of Health Evaluation and Promotion (JHEP) and the Japan Society of Ningen Dock (JND). Subjects and Methods Our study included 20,653 untreated patients with Graves' disease, 3,435 untreated patients with painless thyroiditis, 4,266 healthy individuals, and 18,937 untreated patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Machine learning was conducted using Prediction One on three distinct datasets: the Ito dataset (age, sex, and 30 blood tests and biochemical test data), the JHEP dataset (age, sex, and TP, T-Bil, AST, ALT, γGTP, ALP, CRE, UA, and T-Cho test data), and the JND dataset (age, sex, and AST, ALT, γGTP, CRE, and UA test data). Results The results for distinguishing thyrotoxicosis patients from the healthy control group showed that the JHEP dataset yielded substantial discriminative capacity with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.966, sensitivity of 92.2%, specificity of 89.1%, and accuracy of 91.7%. The JND dataset displayed similar robustness, with an AUC of 0.948, sensitivity of 92.0%, specificity of 81.3%, and accuracy of 90.4%. Differentiating hypothyroid patients from the healthy control group yielded similarly robust performances, with the JHEP dataset yielding AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy values of 0.864, 84.2%, 72.1%, and 77.4%, respectively, and the JND dataset yielding values of 0.840, 83.2%, 67.2%, and 74.3%, respectively. Conclusions Machine learning is a potent screening tool for thyrotoxicosis and hypothyroidism.

Effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease: a prespecified secondary analysis from the empa-kidney trial. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2024; 12:39-50. [PMID: 38061371 PMCID: PMC7615591 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-8587(23)00321-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce progression of chronic kidney disease and the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a wide range of patients. However, their effects on kidney disease progression in some patients with chronic kidney disease are unclear because few clinical kidney outcomes occurred among such patients in the completed trials. In particular, some guidelines stratify their level of recommendation about who should be treated with SGLT2 inhibitors based on diabetes status and albuminuria. We aimed to assess the effects of empagliflozin on progression of chronic kidney disease both overall and among specific types of participants in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA), and included individuals aged 18 years or older with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or with an eGFR of 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher. We explored the effects of 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily versus placebo on the annualised rate of change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR slope), a tertiary outcome. We studied the acute slope (from randomisation to 2 months) and chronic slope (from 2 months onwards) separately, using shared parameter models to estimate the latter. Analyses were done in all randomly assigned participants by intention to treat. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and then followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroups of eGFR included 2282 (34·5%) participants with an eGFR of less than 30 mL/min per 1·73 m2, 2928 (44·3%) with an eGFR of 30 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, and 1399 (21·2%) with an eGFR 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2 or higher. Prespecified subgroups of uACR included 1328 (20·1%) with a uACR of less than 30 mg/g, 1864 (28·2%) with a uACR of 30 to 300 mg/g, and 3417 (51·7%) with a uACR of more than 300 mg/g. Overall, allocation to empagliflozin caused an acute 2·12 mL/min per 1·73 m2 (95% CI 1·83-2·41) reduction in eGFR, equivalent to a 6% (5-6) dip in the first 2 months. After this, it halved the chronic slope from -2·75 to -1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (relative difference 50%, 95% CI 42-58). The absolute and relative benefits of empagliflozin on the magnitude of the chronic slope varied significantly depending on diabetes status and baseline levels of eGFR and uACR. In particular, the absolute difference in chronic slopes was lower in patients with lower baseline uACR, but because this group progressed more slowly than those with higher uACR, this translated to a larger relative difference in chronic slopes in this group (86% [36-136] reduction in the chronic slope among those with baseline uACR <30 mg/g compared with a 29% [19-38] reduction for those with baseline uACR ≥2000 mg/g; ptrend<0·0001). INTERPRETATION Empagliflozin slowed the rate of progression of chronic kidney disease among all types of participant in the EMPA-KIDNEY trial, including those with little albuminuria. Albuminuria alone should not be used to determine whether to treat with an SGLT2 inhibitor. FUNDING Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly.

Impact of primary kidney disease on the effects of empagliflozin in patients with chronic kidney disease: secondary analyses of the EMPA-KIDNEY trial. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol 2024; 12:51-60. [PMID: 38061372 DOI: 10.1016/s2213-8587(23)00322-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 10/24/2023] [Accepted: 10/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The EMPA-KIDNEY trial showed that empagliflozin reduced the risk of the primary composite outcome of kidney disease progression or cardiovascular death in patients with chronic kidney disease mainly through slowing progression. We aimed to assess how effects of empagliflozin might differ by primary kidney disease across its broad population. METHODS EMPA-KIDNEY, a randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial, was conducted at 241 centres in eight countries (Canada, China, Germany, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, the UK, and the USA). Patients were eligible if their estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 20 to less than 45 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or 45 to less than 90 mL/min per 1·73 m2 with a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) of 200 mg/g or higher at screening. They were randomly assigned (1:1) to 10 mg oral empagliflozin once daily or matching placebo. Effects on kidney disease progression (defined as a sustained ≥40% eGFR decline from randomisation, end-stage kidney disease, a sustained eGFR below 10 mL/min per 1·73 m2, or death from kidney failure) were assessed using prespecified Cox models, and eGFR slope analyses used shared parameter models. Subgroup comparisons were performed by including relevant interaction terms in models. EMPA-KIDNEY is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT03594110. FINDINGS Between May 15, 2019, and April 16, 2021, 6609 participants were randomly assigned and followed up for a median of 2·0 years (IQR 1·5-2·4). Prespecified subgroupings by primary kidney disease included 2057 (31·1%) participants with diabetic kidney disease, 1669 (25·3%) with glomerular disease, 1445 (21·9%) with hypertensive or renovascular disease, and 1438 (21·8%) with other or unknown causes. Kidney disease progression occurred in 384 (11·6%) of 3304 patients in the empagliflozin group and 504 (15·2%) of 3305 patients in the placebo group (hazard ratio 0·71 [95% CI 0·62-0·81]), with no evidence that the relative effect size varied significantly by primary kidney disease (pheterogeneity=0·62). The between-group difference in chronic eGFR slopes (ie, from 2 months to final follow-up) was 1·37 mL/min per 1·73 m2 per year (95% CI 1·16-1·59), representing a 50% (42-58) reduction in the rate of chronic eGFR decline. This relative effect of empagliflozin on chronic eGFR slope was similar in analyses by different primary kidney diseases, including in explorations by type of glomerular disease and diabetes (p values for heterogeneity all >0·1). INTERPRETATION In a broad range of patients with chronic kidney disease at risk of progression, including a wide range of non-diabetic causes of chronic kidney disease, empagliflozin reduced risk of kidney disease progression. Relative effect sizes were broadly similar irrespective of the cause of primary kidney disease, suggesting that SGLT2 inhibitors should be part of a standard of care to minimise risk of kidney failure in chronic kidney disease.

Abstract
Appropriate administration of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive treatment (AIIST) is important for patients with Graves' orbitopathy (GO). This study aimed to clarify the incidence and risk factors for GO treated with AIIST and propose a predictive score, among newly diagnosed Graves' disease (GD) patients in Japan. A total of 1,553 GD patients who were newly diagnosed during the year 2011 were investigated. AIIST included local and/or systemic glucocorticoid administration and retrobulbar irradiation. A multivariable Cox proportional hazards model was used to investigate the risk factors for GO underwent AIIST during medical treatment, including at diagnosis, of GD. Then, a GO score was created by summing each point assigned to risk factors based on their coefficient obtained in the Cox model. AIIST was administered to 107 patients (6.9%). The risk factors and hazard ratios for GO underwent AIIST were: age (per 10 years), 1.32 (95% confidence interval: 1.16-1.50), p < 0.0001; TSH binding inhibitory immunoglobulin (TBII) (per 10 IU/L), 1.33 (1.15-1.54), p = 0.0001; and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) negativity, 2.98 (1.96-4.59), p < 0.0001. The GO score, ranging from 0 to 8 points, showed moderate performance (area under the curve: 0.71, cut-off value: 5 points, sensitivity: 0.76, specificity: 0.59, positive predictive value: 0.12, negative predictive value: 0.97). AIIST was performed for patients with active manifestations of GO in 6.9% of newly diagnosed GD patients. The risk factors for GO underwent AIIST were higher age, higher TBII, and TgAb negativity. The GO score based on these factors may be useful in managing GO.

Abstract
A large variety of natural plants are widely produced and utilised because of their remarkable pharmacological effects. In this study, two phenolic glycosides were isolated for the first time from Vanilla pompona Schiede (Orchidaceae) from Kyushu, Japan: bis [4-(β-D - O-glucopyranosyloxy)-benzyl] (S)-2-isopropylmalate (1: ) and bis 4-[β-D-O-glucopyranosyloxy)-benzyl]-(2R,3S)-2-isopropyl tartrate (2: ). We have discovered that the crude extract of V. pompona leaves and stems and its two phenolic glycosides (compounds 1: - 2: ) are highly effective in reversing skin senescence. V. pompona and compounds 1: - 2: were found to promote the synthesis of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin in skin fibroblasts in a normal skin cell model; in a replicative senescence model, V. pompona and compounds 1: - 2: significantly reduced the ageing phenotype in skin fibroblasts. These compounds also demonstrated a significant protective effect in a UV-induced photo-senescence model; the possible mechanisms of this effect were investigated in this study. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to develop V. pompona leaves and stems as new sources of bioactive compounds and to examine their therapeutic potential for skin senescence. The development potential of V. pompona leaves and stems for use in the cosmetics, cosmeceutical, and pharmaceutical industries remains to be investigated.

Abstract
Regeneration of alveolar bone is an essential step in restoring healthy function following tooth extraction. Growth of new bone in the healing extraction socket can be variable and often unpredictable when systemic comorbidities are present, leading to the need for additional therapeutic targets to accelerate the regenerative process. One such target is the TAM family (Tyro3, Axl, Mertk) of receptor tyrosine kinases. These proteins have been shown to help resolve inflammation and maintain bone homeostasis and thus may have therapeutic benefits in bone regeneration following extraction. Treatment of mice with a pan-TAM inhibitor (RXDX-106) led to accelerated alveolar bone fill following first molar extraction in a mouse model without changing immune infiltrate. Treatment of human alveolar bone mesenchymal stem cells with RXDX-106 upregulated Wnt signaling and primed the cells for osteogenic differentiation. Differentiation of human alveolar bone mesenchymal stem cells with osteogenic media and TAM-targeted inhibitor RXDX-106 (pan-TAM), ASP-2215 (Axl specific), or MRX-2843 (Mertk specific) showed enhanced mineralization with pan-TAM or Mertk-specific inhibitors and no change with Axl-specific inhibitor. First molar extractions in Mertk-/- mice had increased alveolar bone regeneration in the extraction socket relative to wild type controls 7 d postextraction. Flow cytometry of 7-d extraction sockets showed no difference in immune cell numbers between Mertk-/- and wild type mice. RNAseq of day 7 extraction sockets showed increased innate immune-related pathways and genes associated with bone differentiation in Mertk-/- mice. Together, these results indicate that TAM receptor signaling, specifically through Mertk, can be targeted to enhance bone regeneration after injury.

Abstract
The present study aimed to establish new reference intervals (RIs) for serum free triiodothyronine (fT3), free thyroxine (fT4), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in Japanese children and adolescents aged 4 to 19 years. A total of 2,036 (1,611 girls, 425 boys) participants were included over a 17-year period; they all tested negative for antithyroid antibodies (TgAb, TPOAb) and were found to have no abnormalities on ultrasonography. RIs were determined by nonparametric methods. The results showed that serum fT3 was significantly higher in the 4-15-year-olds than in the 19-year-olds. The serum fT4 was significantly higher in the 4-10-year-olds than in the 19-year-olds. The serum TSH was significantly higher in the 4-12-year-olds than in the 19-year-olds. All of them gradually decreased with age to approximate the adult levels. The upper limit of TSH was lower in those aged 13 to 19 years than in adults. The differences were examined by sex. The serum fT3 was significantly higher in boys than in girls between the ages of 11 and 19 years. The serum fT4 was significantly higher in boys than in girls between the ages of 16 and 19 years. There did not seem to be any sex difference in those under 10 years of age. In conclusion, serum fT3, fT4, and TSH levels in children and adolescents differ from those in adults. It is important to evaluate thyroid function using the new RIs that are appropriate for chronological age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perinatal management of congenital platelet dysfunction represents a challenge. One of the major concerns is whether neuraxial anesthesia can be applicable for cesarean delivery. We present a patient with thrombasthenia who underwent emergency cesarean delivery. CASE PRESENTATION A 34-year-old primipara was diagnosed with autosomal dominant thrombasthenia, which was not classified as any known type. A thorough examination revealed that adenosine diphosphate aggregation and collagen aggregation were suppressed. Platelet mapping of viscoelastic testing was used to observe the trajectory of platelet function during pregnancy, which was found to be normal to hypercoagulable until 38 weeks of gestation. On the basis of the results of testing and physiological status, we commenced spinal anesthesia and avoided prophylactic platelet transfusion. CONCLUSION The platelet mapping of viscoelastic testing was rapid and simple, allowing repeated examinations. We could choose the appropriate anesthesia method and determine the necessity of blood transfusion for a pregnant patient with thrombasthenia.

Abstract
Background: The incidence of neonatal hypothyroidism among newborns born to mothers with Graves' disease (GD) who continued antithyroid drug (ATD) treatment until delivery has never been reported. Objective: Our primary objective was to investigate the incidence of neonatal hypothyroidism among newborns born to mothers with GD who were treated with ATD until delivery. Our secondary objective was to identify the cutoff ATD daily doses for neonatal hypothyroidism risk, based on maternal thyrotropin (TSH) receptor antibody (TRAb) levels. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study. We included 305 pregnant women with GD who were treated with an ATD until delivery (63 treated with methimazole [MMI] and 242 treated with propylthiouracil [PTU]). Umbilical cord TSH, free thyroxine (fT4), and TRAb levels were measured at delivery, and we investigated the respective relationships between neonatal hypothyroidism at delivery and maternal fT4 levels, TRAb levels, and daily ATD doses during pregnancy. Neonatal hypothyroidism was diagnosed when the umbilical cord fT4 level was below the lower limit of the reference range. Results: The incidence of neonatal hypothyroidism at delivery was 19.0% ([confidence interval, CI, 11.2-30.4]; 12/63) in the MMI group and 12.8% ([CI, 9.2-17.6]; 31/242) in the PTU group. Neonatal goiter was observed in one neonate in the PTU group, and two infants in the PTU group required levothyroxine treatment. The daily ATD dose in the third trimester was the strongest predictor of neonatal hypothyroidism at delivery; the cutoff MMI dose was 10 mg/day, and the cutoff PTU dose was 150 mg/day. When the maternal TRAb level in the third trimester was above three times the upper limit of the normal range, the cutoff MMI dose was 20 mg/day, and the cutoff PTU dose was 150 mg/day. Conclusions: Maternal fT4 and TRAb levels were higher in the neonatal hypothyroid group, which suggested prolonged GD activity. Careful follow-up is necessary when maternal GD remains active and the ATD dose to control maternal thyrotoxicosis cannot be reduced.

Abstract
Although considered an abundant source of agricultural by-products, avocado (Persea americana Mill.) seed, with several biological activities and bioactive components, might become a promising resource for phytopharmaceutical development. In this study, through bioassay-guided isolation of the main α-glucosidase inhibitors in avocado seed, we discovered the major α-glucosidase inhibitor to be avocado seed oligomeric proanthocyanidin complex (ASOPC). Thiolysis and UPLC-DAD-HRESIMS showed the presence of A- and B-type procyanidins, and B-type propelargonidin with (epi)afzelechin as extension unit. Mean degree of polymerization (mDP) of ASOPC was calculated as 7.3 ± 1. Furthermore, ASOPC appeared to be a strong, reversible, competitive inhibitor of α-glucosidase, with IC50 value of 0.1 µg/mL, which was significantly lower than Acarbose (IC50 = 75.6 µg/mL), indicated that ASOPC is a potential natural α-glucosidase inhibitor. These findings would contribute to the direction of utilizing avocado seed bioactive components with the possibility to be used as natural anti-diabetic agents.

Abstract
Graves' disease has been reported to affect the clinical features of moyamoya disease (MMD), an occlusion of the circle of Willis. This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of MMD in patients with Graves' disease. This was a single-center, retrospective study. The prevalence and clinical features of MMD patients among all patients with thyroid disease who visited Ito Hospital from January 2005 to December 2019 were evaluated. The relationship between MMD and hyperthyroidism was analyzed in new-onset Graves' disease patients during the same period. Of all 394,422 patients with thyroid disease, 88,180 had Graves' disease, and 40 had MMD with Graves' disease, i.e., the prevalence was 45.36 per 100,000 patients with Graves' disease (0.0454%). The median age at onset of MMD was 39 years (interquartile range, 31-54 years), with a male to female ratio of 1:12. The most common time that MMD was diagnosed was within 1 year after the onset of Graves' disease, in 9 of 40 patients (22.5%), and 19 of 40 patients (47.5%) underwent bypass surgery for MMD. In MMD with Graves' disease, headache was the most frequent symptom, and ischemic types of stroke and bilateral lesions were common. Of 23,347 patients with new-onset Graves' disease, 7 were diagnosed with MMD and the incidence of MMD was 5.94 patients per 100,000 person-years. Most patients developed MMD symptoms during hyperthyroidism. Although MMD is a rare condition, it should be noted that it can occur with Graves' disease.

Abstract
The effect of potassium iodide (KI) on radioiodine uptake (RAIU) before radioisotope therapy in Graves' disease (GD) patients was investigated. A total of 82 patients who had been treated with KI monotherapy before 24-hour RAIU (24 h RAIU) were evaluated and 354 of those who had been treated with thiamazole (MMI) monotherapy were extracted from the 1,130 GD patients who were identified as having had appropriate iodine restriction based on urinary iodine excretion. Urinary iodine excretion (UIE) <200 μg/day was confirmed in all subjects. Propensity score-matching was performed to identify the difference in 24 h RAIU between the KI group and the MMI group. In addition, multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate related to 24 h RAIU. Propensity score-matching resulted in 57 matched patients in each group. After matching, 24 h RAIU was still significantly lower in the KI group than in the MMI group (median 53% (interquartile range 47-61%) vs. 63% (56-66%); p = 0.001). In addition, KI monotherapy was weakly negatively correlated with 24 h RAIU, whereas the female sex and FT3 were very weakly positively correlated on multiple regression analysis. The results suggest that KI monotherapy likely suppressed 24 h RAIU more than MMI monotherapy in GD patients with appropriate iodine restriction, given the difference in the mechanism of hormone suppression.

Abstract
Samples of the carbonaceous asteroid Ryugu were brought to Earth by the Hayabusa2 spacecraft. We analyzed 17 Ryugu samples measuring 1 to 8 millimeters. Carbon dioxide-bearing water inclusions are present within a pyrrhotite crystal, indicating that Ryugu's parent asteroid formed in the outer Solar System. The samples contain low abundances of materials that formed at high temperatures, such as chondrules and calcium- and aluminum-rich inclusions. The samples are rich in phyllosilicates and carbonates, which formed through aqueous alteration reactions at low temperature, high pH, and water/rock ratios of <1 (by mass). Less altered fragments contain olivine, pyroxene, amorphous silicates, calcite, and phosphide. Numerical simulations, based on the mineralogical and physical properties of the samples, indicate that Ryugu's parent body formed ~2 million years after the beginning of Solar System formation.

Abstract
PURPOSES To establish the appropriate staging system and assess the role of curative thyroidectomy alone (Surgery) vs. involved-site radiation therapy after open biopsy (OB-ISRT) in stage IE mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. METHODS We examined the Tokyo Classification as a modified classification. This retrospective cohort study included 256 patients with thyroid MALT lymphoma; 137 underwent standard therapy (i.e., OB-ISRT) and were enrolled for the Tokyo classification. Sixty stage IE patients with the same diagnosis were examined to compare Surgery with OB-ISRT. RESULTS Overall survival (p = 0.0092) and relapse-free survival (0.00113) were significantly better in stage IE vs. stage IIE under the Tokyo classification. No OB-ISRT and Surgery patients died, but three OB-ISRT patients relapsed. The incidence of permanent complications was 28% in OB-ISRT (mainly dry mouth) and 0% in Surgery (p = 0.027). The number of painkiller prescription days was significantly greater in OB-ISRT (p < 0.001). During follow-up, the rate of the new appearance/change of the low-density area in the thyroid gland was significantly higher in OB-ISRT (p = 0.031). CONCLUSIONS The Tokyo classification allows an appropriate discrimination between stages IE and IIE MALT lymphoma. Surgery can provide a good prognosis in stage IE cases; it also avoids complications, shortens painful periods during treatment, and simplifies ultrasound follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND More than 40 years have passed since the introduction of newborn screening for congenital hypothyroidism (CH), and many early diagnosed patients have reached adulthood. Their thyroid morphology and function have been little studied. This cross-sectional, observational study was conducted to characterize the thyroid morphology and function of adult CH patients diagnosed in the framework of newborn screening for CH. METHODS A total of 103 adult CH patients born after 1979 were enrolled at Ito Hospital, Tokyo, Japan, and were classified into Goiter, Normal gland, and Dysgenesis groups based on ultrasonographic findings. For 60 patients, genetic analysis was performed. Thyroid function test results and the proportion of patients with thyroid nodules were compared among the three groups and between 56 female CH patients and 168 non-CH women matched for TSH levels. RESULTS A significantly low serum free T3/free T4 ratio (0.22) was observed in the Dysgenesis group. Thyroid nodules were detected in 14.3% (8/56) of female CH patients, more frequently than in non-CH women. Thyroid nodules were detected the most frequently in the Goiter group (71%, 10/14). Genetic defects were identified in 89% (8/9) of patients belonging to the Goiter group, including thyroglobulin defect (33%, 3/9), thyroid peroxidase defect (33%, 3/9), and dual oxidase 2 defect (22%, 2/9). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that adults with thyroid dysgenesis on levothyroxine replacement therapy have relative T3 deficiency. Most adults with goitrous CH have genetic dyshormonogenesis. They are at high risk of developing thyroid nodules. Our findings support the current guideline recommendation that CH patients with dyshormonogenesis should undergo periodic thyroid ultrasonography.

Abstract
Since the recent coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and the lifestyle changes it necessitated, the demand for mental health treatment has skyrocketed, with long wait lists for both psychological and psychiatric care. Over-the-counter supplements and home remedies are increasingly sought. In this study, we screened natural materials and blended supplements from Asia that may improve the mood and mental health of humans by testing cell viability and expression of the proopiomelanocortin gene as a marker of β-endorphin production in rat hypothalamus neuron cells. Among 23 tested samples, 3 samples produced significantly higher cell viability in R-HTH-507 cells than the control treatment. In a real-time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) experiment, 7 samples showed significant β-endorphin synthesis activity. This is the first report that the Asian natural materials Areca catechu, Moringa oleifera, Lignosis rhinocerus, and Aegle marmelos promote β-endorphin synthesis; further investigation will identify the active ingredients in the blended samples. These results suggested that these Asian natural materials have great potential to expand the range of treatments for mental health.

Melanin Synthesis Inhibition Activity of Compounds Isolated from Bamboo Shoot Skin ( Phyllostachys pubescens). MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 28:molecules28010023.

Abstract
This study targets the evaluation of melanin synthesis inhibition activity of the bamboo shoot skin as agro-waste. The total methanolic extract of bamboo peel extract was evaluated for its skin protective effects via measuring its melanin inhibitory activity and its suppression activity on the expression of tyrosinase mRNA levels. Results showed that bamboo peel extract has a good ability for the inhibition of melanin synthesis so further studies were performed for the isolation of its constituents. Twelve compounds have been isolated from the shoot skin of Phyllostachys pubescens. Their structures were elucidated based on extensive spectroscopic methods. The melanin inhibition potential of the isolates was tested with their collagen-production-promoting activity for the determination of active principles. Results showed that Betulinic acid, tachioside, and 1,2-dilinolenin significantly suppressed melanin production per cell compared to control. Triacontanol, tricin, and (+)-lyoniresinol 9'-O-glucoside also tended to decrease melanin production per cell. These findings indicated that the skin of bamboo shoots, a significant agricultural waste, is a useful natural source for further research on its potential for aging problems such hyperpigmentation and cognitive function impairment.
