Deiodinase 2 upregulation demonstrated in osteoarthritis patients cartilage causes cartilage destruction in tissue-specific transgenic rats. Osteoarthritis Cartilage 2013; 21:514-23.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chondrocyte hypertrophy followed by cartilage destruction is a crucial step for osteoarthritis (OA) development, however, the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. The objectives of this study are to identify the gene that may cause cartilage hypertrophy and to elucidate its role on OA pathogenesis. DESIGN Gene expression profiles of cartilages from OA patients and normal subjects were examined by microarray analysis. Expression of deiodinases, enzymes for regulation of triiodothyronine (T3) biosynthesis, in human and rat articular cartilage (AC) were examined by real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Rat ACs and chondrocytes were treated with T3 to investigate its role on chondrocyte hypertrophy and inflammatory reaction. Cartilage-specific Type II deiodinase (DIO2) transgenic rats were generated using bacterial artificial chromosome harboring the entire rat Col2a1 and human DIO2 gene. An experimental OA model was created in the animal to examine the role of DIO2 on cartilage degeneration. RESULTS DIO2 is highly expressed in OA patient AC compared to normal control. In rat AC, DIO2 is specifically expressed among deiodinases and dominantly expressed the same as in brown adipose tissue. T3 induces hypertrophic markers in articular chondrocyte and cartilage explant culture, and enhances the effect of IL-1α on induction of cartilage degrading enzymes. Importantly, cartilage-specific DIO2 transgenic rats are more susceptible to knee joint destabilization and develop severe AC destruction. CONCLUSION Our findings demonstrate that upregulated expression of DIO2 in OA patient cartilage might be responsible for OA pathogenesis by enhancing the chondrocyte hypertrophy and inflammatory response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study examined age and sex differences of controlled force exertion measured by a computer-generated quasi-random target-pursuit system in 207 males and 249 females aged 15 to 86 years. METHODS The participants matched submaximal grip exertion of their dominant hand to changing demand values, appearing as a moving quasi-random waveform on the display of a personal computer. They performed the test three times with 1-min intervals (one trial was 40 sec). The total sum of the percent of differences between the demand value and the grip exertion value for 25 sec was used as an evaluation parameter. RESULTS The errors in controlled force exertion tended to increase constantly with age in both sexes. Significant linear regressions were identified, but there was no significant difference in the rate of increase in both sexes. Analysis of variance showed nonsignificant sex differences among means, except for those in individuals older than 60 years; significant differences between means in the groups older than the 40 yr.-old age group and the 20-24 yr.-old group were found in both sexes. CONCLUSIONS Controlled force exertion did not show a significant sex difference and decreased gradually with age in both sexes, but decreased remarkably after 40 years of age.

Abstract
AIM Residual volume error influences percent body fat estimated by hydrostatic. The aim of this study was to examine the differences and relationships between the residual volumes measured on land and in water and calculated from estimate equations developed in previous studies. METHODS PARTICIPANTS 20 males and 20 females, aged 18-25 years, participated in this study. SETTING the residual volumes on land and in water without submerging their head were measured twice in each setting. In addition, the residual volume was calculated from 6 estimate equations developed in previous studies. RESULTS Residual volumes measured on land and in water have very good trial-to-trial reliabilities (intraclass correlation coefficients: <0.98), and high relationships, and did not show a significant difference. It is inferred that their difference is approximately 500 mL, being larger than trial-to-trial error. If we attach great importance to practicability rather than the above error, the residual volume on land can be used. There were no significant differences between measured volumes and those estimated by equation 5 in males and all equations except equation 6 in females. The relationships between measured and estimated residual volumes were poor in males except for equation 4, but were fair in females. Trial-to-trial reliability of residual volumes measured on land and in water is very good, and they have insignificant differences and high relationships. CONCLUSION Of 6 estimate equations, equation 4 calculated from vital capacity has high accuracy in both sexes.

Abstract
AIM There are few studies on muscle power during local muscle contractions with a small range of motion such as in gripping. The purposes of this study were to clarify the properties of the developmental phase based on time series of muscle power output, the reliability of the parameters, their relationships and the load intensity derived peak power by gender differences, and to examine the possibility of evaluating muscle power using gripping. METHODS Fifteen young males and 15 females participated in this study. Based on a crossover experimental design, each subject carried out 2 explosive grips at 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% loads of maximal using a voluntary grip contraction (MVC). The grip contraction velocities, sampled at 100 Hz, were measured accurately using a power instrument with an accelerometer. Muscle power curves were drawn from the product of the velocity and the set-up load. RESULTS The cross-correlation coefficients between the trials for the average curve of the time-series moving distance, the velocity, and the power in any load were very high (over 0.95) in both genders. The reliability of each parameter was mostly good in both genders (intraclass correlation coefficient, ICC>0.75). The peak power curve differed between genders, and the curve around the peak value in females was irregular. CONCLUSIONS A gender difference was found in the maximal power and the properties of the power curve. The maximal muscle power appeared at 30-50% MVC in males, and at 20-40% MVC in females. The peak power during the whole contraction, and the time to peak may reflect the conditions throughout the whole of the contraction. The new device used in this study to evaluate local regional muscle power (grip) is a very reliable and useful tool.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously reported that gastrin induces expression of CXC chemokines through activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB) in gastric epithelial cells that express gastrin receptor. AIMS To clarify gastrin receptor mediated signals leading to activation of NFkappaB. METHODS MKGR26 cells were created by transfecting gastrin receptor cDNA into MKN-28 cells. Degradation of inhibitor kappaB (IkappaB) and phosphorylation of protein kinase C (PKC)-delta were both detected by western blot analysis. NFkappaB activation was determined by luciferase assay and electrophoretic mobility shift analysis. RESULTS Gastrin induced degradation of IkappaB-alpha and activation of NFkappaB, which was abolished by the selective gastrin receptor antagonist L-740,093 and the general PKC inhibitor GF109203X. Gastrin induced phosphorylation of PKC-delta, and its inhibitor rottlerin partially suppressed NFkappaB activation. However, the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) kinase inhibitor PD98059, p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580, and tyrphostin AG1478 had no effect on NFkappaB activation. Introduction of the dominant negative mutant of IkappaB kinase, of NFkappaB inducing kinase, and of tumour necrosis factor receptor associated factor 6 (TRAF6), but not that of TRAF2, inhibited gastrin induced activation of NFkappaB. CONCLUSIONS Gastrin activates NFkappaB via a PKC dependent pathway which involves IkappaB kinase, NFkappaB inducing kinase, and TRAF6.

Abstract
AIM The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and gender differences of static explosive grip (SEG) parameters based on force-time curves. METHODS EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN data were collected from 2 trials of SEG tests on the same day and 2 trials 1 week later. PARTICIPANTS 50 healthy young males (21.2+/-1.57 yrs) and females (20.1+/-1.18 yrs) participated in this study. MEASURES 12 variables based on factors such as time-course of force, average force, integrated area, maximal rate of force development, the product of force and inclination and exponential function of force development (EXP-M) were selected as force-time parameters in SEG testing. RESULTS A significant reliability was obtained for all force-time parameters except the time to 90% of maximal grip strength (MAX), with the reliability of integrated area, average force, maximal rate of force development (DFmax), and the product of force and inclination being particularly high (ICC=0.633-0.930 for the same day, ICC=0.612-0.828 for different days). There were gender differences for all parameters except the time to MAX and EXP-M (p<0.05). In addition, many of the correlation coefficients between parameters were high, particularly for males. The average force, integrated area for 1 sec, and the product of force and inclination during the developmental phase significantly correlated with MAX in both males and females. The ratio between males and females in these force-time parameters was smaller than that of MAX (71.3%). CONCLUSION It is considered that these parameters are dependent on the speed of muscle contraction. These results suggest that the evaluation parameters, such as average force, integrated area, the product of force and inclination, and maximal rate of force development are useful for evaluating static explosive grip.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to clarify the influence of change of total body water caused by exercise and drinking, on relative body fat (%BF) based on three bioelectrical impedance analyses (BIA) methods, between hand and foot (H-F), between hand and hand (H-H), and between foot and foot (F-F). METHODS The subjects were 30 Japanese healthy young adults aged 18 to 23 years (15 males, 15 females). Measurements were made three times for each BIA method; before and after exercise with sweat, and after drinking, and also twice according to the under water weighing (UW) method, before exercise and after drinking. A pedaling exercise, with a bicycle ergometer, was used for 60 minutes as the exercise. RESULTS The relationship of %BF between the UW method and each BIA method was mid-range or more (r=0.765-0.839). However, %BF based on the H-F and F-F BIA methods were higher than that based on the UW method. After drinking, %BF of all the BIA methods were higher than the UW method. %BF of the BIA methods after exercise indicated values lower than those before exercise. %BF of the H-F and H-H BIA methods after drinking were a little higher than those before exercise, indicating that those measurements reflect a slight change of body water. CONCLUSIONS It was demonstrated that %BF of any BIA method reflect the change of body water caused by exercise, sweating, and drinking.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) inhibits the growth of several types of cancer cells. However, the mechanisms by which this occurs are poorly understood. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effects of PPARgamma on mutated ras-induced cell growth, activation of transcription factors and expression of genes associated with cellular transformation in rat intestinal epithelial cells. A human PPARgamma cDNA was introduced to the activated H-ras-transfected IEC-6 cells (IECras) and 1 clone (IECrasPR82) that stably expresses both activated ras and PPARgamma was obtained. Thiazolidinedione derivatives such as troglitazone and rosiglitazone, selective ligands for PPARgamma, inhibited the cellular growth of IECrasPR82 cells in a time-dependent manner and induced G1 cell cycle arrest. Treatment with troglitazone (20 microM) decreased the expression of cyclin D1, heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF) and amphiregulin and suppressed the promoter activities of cyclin D1 and HB-EGF. Furthermore, a luciferase assay and an electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that thiazolidinedione derivatives suppressed the transcriptional activities of AP-1 and Ets, both of which play crucial roles in the expression of cyclin D1 and HB-EGF. These findings suggest that reduction of EGF-like growth factors and cyclin D1 through the suppression of AP-1 and Ets may be 1 mechanism whereby PPARgamma inhibits their growth.

Abstract
In the present study, the ADL index for the partially dependent older people (Demura et al., 1999) was applied to 218 bedridden (BED), 466 partially dependent (PD) and 245 independent living (IL) people in older groups. The purposes of this study were to clarify the meaning of the evaluation of this index and to examine how ADL items are useful in determining each older group. It is suggested that a perfect score with our ADL index means independent living level, and a score of zero means bedridden level. The results of discriminant analysis indicated that four items with low-difficulty, such as "eating," "going to the toilet," "tossing about in bed" and "writing," are useful in determining if the PD is becoming bedridden. While five items with high-difficulty, such as "putting on slacks," "putting on trousers," "standing up from a sitting posture," "going up stairs" and "washing the whole body," are useful in determining if the PD is becoming independent living. Furthermore, it is inferred that the possibility of falling into a bedridden situation increases when the total score is 5 or less, while the functional level is close to independent living when the total score is 13 or more. These findings make clear the meaning of the evaluation of our ADL index. Furthermore, the functional level of older population may be screened using evaluation of total and item scores of this ADL index.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine lateral dominance in maximal muscle power, muscular endurance, and grading ability, using isokinetic mulscular strength in knee extension and flexion. The subjects were 50 healthy male students whose ages ranged from 19 to 23 years (M height: 173.6+/-6.2 cm, M weight: 67.2+/-6.8 kg). Their dominant legs for power exertion and for functional use were based on questionnaire items selected from those used in previous studies. The angular velocities of extension and flexion for exerting maximal muscle power were 60, 180, and 300 x sec.(-1). A continuous exertion 30 times at an angular velocity of 180 sec.(-1) was used as the load for muscular endurance. For grading ability, 25%, 50% and 75% of the maximal muscle strength at angular velocities of 60 and 180 x sec.(-1) were the required values, and the difference between these values and the exerted muscular strength was evaluated. The dominant leg and nondominant leg were compared for both power exertion and functional use. There was no lateral dominance in maximal muscle power and muscular endurance. In muscular endurance, especially, some subjects showed one leg superior in power exertion and some superior in functional use. Lateral dominance was noted across maximal muscle power and muscular endurance in grading ability. The dominant leg tended to be better than the nondominant leg in functional use. However, lateral dominance was not remarkable for flexing motion and in exertion for a short time.

Abstract
Hot bathing has been associated with sudden death and so the present study investigated its effects on autonomic activity and hemodynamics in the elderly patient and the healthy young by analyzing heart rate variability (HRV). Subjects were 9 elderly men (mean age, 75 years) and 9 young men (mean age, 27 years), who were immersed up to shoulder level while in a sitting position for 10min with the bath temperature at 40 degrees C. Blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR) were monitored. BP in the young decreased during bathing (p<0.01), whereas in the elderly BP had a maximum value just at the start of immersion (p<0.05) with a slight decline at 4 min after the start of immersion. Although HR in the young increased (p<0.01), in the elderly there was an abrupt increase in HR just at the start of immersion (p<0.05), followed by a decrease in HR. With regard to HRV, the high-frequency (HF) component in the young men was suppressed during immersion (p<0.01), but was unaffected in the elderly. The LF (low frequency)/HF ratio in the elderly decreased at 4 min (p<0.05). In conclusion, hypotensive syncope may cause sudden death by drowning during hot bathing, and is a consequence of the decrease in sympathetic tone that develops approximately 4min after immersion.

Abstract
The purposes of this study were to clarify the reliability of two types of grip exertions, explosive grip exertion and voluntary grip exertion up to the maximal grip strength and to examine their force patterns using force-time parameters. Subjects were 100 healthy young male volunteers (age: 17.8+/-2.50 yr.) who had no upper limb injury. Grip strength was measured two times with voluntary grip and then two times with explosive grip. 11 parameters derived from the force-time curve were selected to measure the developmental phase of muscle contraction. The reliability of maximal grip strength in explosive and voluntary grip exertions was very high (intraclass correlation = .95, .93). The difference between two trials in explosive grip tended to be smaller than that for voluntary grip, and reliability of the exertion pattern was higher for explosive grip than voluntary grip. The times to reach 90% of the maximal grip strength and the maximal grip strength in explosive grip were shorter than those in voluntary grip. The other 8 force-time parameters had higher values in explosive grip than voluntary grip and higher reliabilities. The force-time parameters reflect the properties of explosive exertion. The results suggest the possibility that static explosive strength could be evaluated using these force-time parameters.
