Abstract
Dispersed calcifications in bilateral parotid glands may strongly suggest Sjögren's syndrome (SS), since the occurrence of bilateral calcifications in other salivary gland diseases is rare. This association between parotid calcifications and SS would thus represent highly useful information for the diagnosis of SS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Previous research has linked built environments to physical activity. However, the association between built environments and musculoskeletal pain is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effects of neighborhood walkability as a built environment on the knee and low back pain for older people.
Methods
Data were from the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study (JAGES) 2013, a population-based study of independent people from aged 65 and older. A cross-sectional multilevel analysis was performed on 22,892 subjects in 792 neighborhoods. We used neighborhood walkability as regional level residents’ perception of access to parks and sidewalks and fresh food stores and difficulty in walking due to slopes and stairs and population density. Knee and low back pain which restrict daily life within the past year were our objective variables.
Results
The prevalence of knee pain was 26.2 %, and that of low back pain was 29.3 %. Neighborhood walkability was positively associated with knee and low back pain after adjusting for individual confounders and mediators such as physical activity, a quarter increased perception of access to parks and sidewalks decreased the prevalence of knee pain (PR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.77-0.94), a quarter increased perception of access to fresh food store decreased the prevalence of knee and low back pain (PR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.84-0.96, PR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.86-0.98), a quarter increased population density decreased the prevalence of knee and low back pain (PR: 0.95; 95% CI: 0.93-0.98, PR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.94-0.98). This trend remains after adjusting the population density, and higher difficulty in walking due to slopes and stairs is newly significant to knee pain (PR: 1.09; 95% CI: 1.01-1.18).
Conclusions
Some of the neighborhood walkability has a protective relation to the knee and low back pain for older people. Longitudinal and intervention studies of the built environment for musculoskeletal pain are required.
Key messages
To our knowledge, this is the first study to discover that neighborhood walkability has a protective relation to knee and low back pain considering various adjustments in a large-scale survey. Improvement of built environments could potentially reduce musculoskeletal pain. In the future, not only individual factors but also environmental determinants of pain should be studied.

Abstract
[Introduction] The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in the preference of enteral tube feeding between elderly inhabitants of Mugi town, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan, and their parents in various physical conditions. [Methods] This population-based questionnaire survey studied 300 randomly selected participants aged 65-80 years. Respondents were to consider a situation where eating was difficult, and were questioned on their desire for tube feeding, using a visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from "do not want tube feeding (0)" to "want tube feeding (100)." [Results] Valid responses of 103 (34.4%) participants were analyzed. Under conditions of being "healthy," "bedridden," "with dementia," and "bedridden and with dementia," the median (IQR) of the VAS values for the desire for tube feeding were 31.8 (3.3 to 83.8), 19.3 (2.4 to 52.3), 5.2 (0.7 to 18.9), 4.0 (0.3 to 15.2) for respondents and 55.2 (11.6 to 92.2), 48.7 (5.5 to 85.5), 9.0 (1.2 to 46.8), 5.1 (0.1 to 36.5) for parents, respectively. The VAS values for the parents were significantly higher (p=0.001, 0.002, 0.001, and 0.01, respectively for the four conditions described) for the same items. [Conclusion] Surrogate decisions made by family members often differ from what the patients would have desired. J. Med. Invest. 66 : 258-263, August, 2019.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is one of the most common heart diseases worldwide, and its prevalence has increased in developed countries along with aging populations. Subclinical CAVD is characterized by aortic valve calcification (AVC) that may lead to aortic stenosis. AVC shares the same risk factors with atherosclerotic disease. Recently, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based lipoprotein particles, low-density and high-density lipoprotein particles (LDL-p, HDL-p) in particular, have emerged as novel markers of atherosclerotic disease. It has been unclear, however, whether NMR-based particles are associated with AVC.
Purpose
To examine cross-sectional association of NMR-based lipoprotein particles, standard lipids with AVC, and compare their strengths of association.
Methods
We studied a community-based random sample of Japanese men aged 40–79 years examined in 2006–08 in Japan. We excluded participants with history of myocardial infarction, stroke, aortic valve surgery, serum triglyceride concentration ≥400 mg/dl, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <30 (ml/min/1.73m2), and use of lipid-lowering medication. We scored the degree of AVC according to Agatston's method, and defined prevalent AVC as the score >0. Lipoprotein particles were measured using NMR spectroscopy.
In our main analysis, we obtained multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of prevalent AVC in the top quartile (Q4) for each lipid index in reference to the lowest quartile (Q1). Adjusting covariates include age, smoking, drinking, systolic blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin, medications for hypertension and/or for diabetes, eGFR, C-reactive protein. For sensitivity analysis, we repeated similar analyses presenting ORs per 1 standard deviation (SD) higher NMR-lipoproteins particles or standard lipids.
Results
Of 874 participants we analyzed, 153 (17.5%) men had AVC. The average (SD) age was 63.3 (10.0) years. Those with AVC tended to be older, likely to have clustering of atherosclerotic risk factors. Multivariable-adjusted ORs of prevalent AVC for Q4 versus Q1 were significantly positive for LDL-p [OR, 2.21 (95% CI: 1.24, 3.95] and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) [2.17 (1.24, 3.80)]. In contrast, neither HDL-p nor high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) was significantly associated with AVC. In sensitivity analyses, however, the corresponding ORs per 1SD higher lipids/lipoprotein particles were smaller in LDL-p [1.33 (1.09, 1.63)] than LDL-c [1.41 (1.15, 1.73)]. The association of HDL-p became significant [1.28 (1.02, 1.61)] (per 1SD decrement) in the sensitivity analysis.
Conclusion
The overall associations of AVC with NMR-based lipoprotein particles (i.e. LDL-p, HDL-p) are comparable to those of standard lipids. This finding is parallel to the association between atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases with NMR-based lipoproteins.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Many studies have reported the J-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk; therefore, light-drinkers is generally recognized to be associated with the lower risk of CHD. However, the mechanisms of lower risk for CHD in light-drinkers are still unclear. Alcohol drinking status is likely to be associated with not only CHD risk factors but also dietary intake. Nevertheless, few studies report these relationships in detail.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationships of alcohol drinking status with CHD classical risk factors and the intake of macro- and micro- nutrients in Japanese.
Methods
Study participants were 1,090 Japanese men and women aged 40–59 years from The INTERLIPID study excepted for 55 individuals who had missing data (n=26) and were past-drinkers (n=29). Alcohol consumption was assessed with two 7-day alcohol records, and average ethanol intake (per week) was calculated. Participants were classified into following 4 groups: non-drinkers (0g/week), light-drinkers (<100 g/week), moderate-drinkers (100–299 g/week), and heavy-drinkers (≥300 g/week). Serum LDL and HDL cholesterol, blood pressure (BP), the prevalence of hypertension and dyslipidemia, and smoking status were assessed as CHD risk factors. The intake of energy and macro- and micro-nutrients were evaluated from the four-timed in-depth 24-hr dietary recalls. Nutrient intake densities were calculated per total energy intake without alcohol. The analysis of variance and chi-squared test were used to evaluate the relations of alcohol status with CHD risk factors and nutrient intake.
Results
Serum HDL cholesterol levels increased and LDL cholesterol levels decreased with increasing alcohol consumption. Systolic and diastolic BP increased with increasing alcohol consumption. J-shaped relationships with alcohol consumption were observed for the proportion of current smoker, number of cigarettes, and the prevalence of hypertension; that is, light-drinkers was lowest among all groups. The prevalence of dyslipidemia was the highest in non-drinkers, and decreased with increasing alcohol consumption. In heavy-drinkers, total energy (kcal/day) was the highest, but energy intake without alcohol (kcal/day) was the lowest. For macronutrients, the intake of carbohydrate (%kcal) decreased, and the intakes of total and animal protein (%kcal) increased with increasing alcohol consumption. The intakes of total cholesterol (mg/1000kcal) and sodium (mg/1000kcal) increased, and total fiber (g/1000kcal) decreased with increasing alcohol consumption. These associations were similar in men and women.
Conclusions
Alcohol consumption was related with not only CHD classical risk factors but also the intake of macro- and micro-nutrients. Non-drinkers had a higher proportion of some CHD risk factors than light-drinkers. These results might influence on J-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and CHD risk.

Abstract
As an alternative to Compton backscattering and bremsstrahlung, the process of colliding high-energy electron beams with strong laser fields can more efficiently provide both a cleaner and brighter source of photons in the multi-GeV range for fundamental studies in nuclear and quark-gluon physics. In order to favor the emission of high-energy quanta and minimize their decay into electron-positron pairs, the fields must not only be sufficiently strong, but also well localized. We here examine these aspects and develop the concept of a laser-particle collider tailored for high-energy photon generation. We show that the use of multiple colliding laser pulses with 0.4 PW of total power is capable of converting more than 18% of multi-GeV electrons passing through the high-field region into photons, each of which carries more than half of the electron initial energy.

Abstract
Natural disasters are often associated with forced residential relocation, thereby affected people experience a change of food environment that results in the increased body mass index. However, there are a few studies that examined whether a change in food environment caused risk of obesity after a natural disaster. To address this question, we leveraged a natural experiment of residential relocation in the aftermath of the 2011 Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. Our baseline data came from a nationwide cohort study of older community-dwelling adults conducted 7 months prior to the disaster. By chance, one of the field sites (Iwanuma City, Miyagi Prefecture) was directly in the line of the tsunami. Approximately 2.5 years after the disaster, we ascertained the residential addresses and health status of 3,594 survivors aged 65 years or older (82.1% follow-up rate). Fixed effects multinomial logistic regression showed that shortened distances to food outlets/bars increased the risks of transitioning from BMI in the normal range (18.5–22.9) to obesity (≥25.0) (Odds ratios: 1.46 for supermarkets; 1.43 for bars; 1.44 times for fast food outlets). Radically changed food access after a natural disaster may raise the risk of obesity among older survivors.

Abstract
SummaryWe determined the effects of combining the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor tirofiban (MK-383, Aggrastat) and ticlopidine on inhibition of ADP-induced platelet aggregation, inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation, and prolongation of bleeding time in 5 healthy male volunteers. The study consisted of 2 periods. In period 1, tirofiban was administered intravenously as a bolus injection at a dose of 5.0 µg/kg for 5 min, then as a continuous infusion at a rate of 0.05 µg/kg/min for 5 h 55 min. In period 2, ticlopidine was given orally at a dose of 200 mg once daily for 4 days, after which tirofiban was administered in the same manner as in period 1, starting 2 h after the last dose of ticlopidine. The percent inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by ADP 5 µM at the end of tirofiban infusion in periods 1 and 2 was 73.6 ± 2.6 and 87.1 ± 5.7% (mean ± SD), respectively. The corresponding values for inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by collagen 2 µg/ml were 45.4 ± 36.1 and 82.8 ± 27.0%, respectively. In contrast, the percent inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by ADP and collagen after treatment with ticlopidine alone was 15.8 ± 20.2 and p ± 4.8%, respectively. Compared with tirofiban alone, the combination of tirofiban and ticlopidine significantly enhanced inhibition of platelet aggregation induced by both ADP and collagen (p <0.02 and p <0.012, respectively). The inhibitory effects of ticlopidine alone were not statistically significant. Tirofiban prolonged bleeding time both in period 1 and in period 2. However, tirofiban and ticlopidine combined did not affect bleeding time. Ticlopidine administration did not alter the pharmacokinetics of tirofiban. In conclusion, at the doses of tirofiban and ticlopidine used in this study, the combination of the two drugs enhanced inhibition of platelet aggregation but did not prolong bleeding time, suggesting that appropriate doses of tirofiban can be used concomitantly with ticlopidine with no further safety concerns but with potential additional clinical effects.
