Abstract
INTRODUCTION Many reports show that denture adhesives improve the retention and stability of dentures. However, few randomized controlled trials have examined the effects of denture adhesives. OBJECTIVE This 10-center randomized controlled trial with parallel groups involving 200 edentulous patients wearing complete dentures aimed to evaluate the effects of short-term use of cream and powder denture adhesives. METHODS Patients were allocated into 2 cream- and powder-type adhesive groups and 1 control group. Intervention groups were treated with the 2 adhesives (1 each), and the control group received saline solution. Adhesive or control was applied to the denture-mucosal surface for 4 d, and data at baseline and after day 4 of intervention (i.e., 8 meals) were obtained. Patient satisfaction was evaluated with a 100-mm visual analog scale. Oral health-related quality of life was measured with the Japanese version of the Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous Patients. Perceived chewing ability was evaluated by a questionnaire regarding ease of chewing and swallowing food. Between-group comparisons were performed with Kruskal-Wallis tests with the Mann-Whitney U test adjusted by Bonferroni correction. Within-group comparisons of pre- and postintervention measurements were performed with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Intention-to-treat analysis was also performed. RESULTS Between-group comparisons showed no significant differences for general satisfaction or Oral Health Impact Profile for Edentulous Patients. However, significant differences in satisfaction with various denture functions with cream- and powder-type adhesives were seen in pre- and postintervention comparisons (P < 0.05). Significant differences were also observed for perceived chewing ability of hard foods (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION These results suggest that although denture adhesives do not invariably improve denture function, they do affect subjective evaluations and possibly chewing of hard foods. Therefore, the effects of denture adhesive use are insufficient to resolve any fundamental dissatisfaction with dentures ( ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01712802 ). KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER STATEMENT The results of this study suggest that denture adhesives should be applied under certain conditions; however, an appropriate diagnosis is important before application. These practice-based data provide information to establish evidence-based guidelines for applying denture adhesives.

Abstract
Between fiscal years 2014 and 2016, we surveyed the concentration of radioactive cesium in commercial foods produced in areas where there is a risk of radiation contamination due to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. The number of samples with a concentration of radioactive cesium that exceeded the regulatory limit (100 Bq/kg for general foods) was 9 out of 1,516 (0.6%) in fiscal 2014, 12 out of 900 (1.3%) in fiscal 2015, and 10 out of 654 (1.5%) in fiscal 2016. Even though some samples were expected to be contaminated with radioactive cesium, because wild mushrooms and edible wild plants were intentionally included in this survey, the percentage of samples that exceeded the regulatory limit was only around 1%. The surveillance results confirmed that the pre-shipment food monitoring conducted by local governments was properly and efficiently performed, although continuous monitoring of the concentration of radioactive cesium in cultivated and wild mushrooms, edible wild plants, and wild animal meats is still required.

Abstract
Clinical effect and safety of recombinant human erythropoietin (r-HuEPO) were evaluated in 66 hemodialysis patients with intractable anemia. Initially, 50U/kg dry weight (DW) of r-HuEPO was administered intravenously at the end of every hemodialysis procedure for 4 weeks, then the dosage was increased to 100 and 200U/kg DW for poor responders. The patients’ hematocrits rose from 19.8 ± 2.3% (pretreatment) to 30.2 ± 4.9% after 12 weeks. From 206 U of blood transfusion requirement in the 3-month period before the study, only 34 U were needed after treatment. Serum iron and ferritin levels fell significantly during the study, and iron storage was considered to be one of the decisive factors in the response to r-HuEPO. Blood pressure rose in the course of r-HuEPO administration, but uncontrollable hypertension was rarely observed. There was no significant adverse effect of r-HuEPO except for this mild hypertension. These results indicate that r-HuEPO is an excellent therapeutic aid for the anemia associated with chronic renal failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Handgrip strength is a simple measurement of overall muscular strength and is used to detect sarcopenia. It also predicts adverse events in later life. Many mechanisms of sarcopenia development have been reported. A hypertensive status impairs endothelial dysfunction, which might deteriorate skeletal muscle if vascular angiogenesis is not maintained. OBJECTIVES This study investigated muscle strength and circulating CD34-positive cells as a marker of vascular angiogenesis. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS 262 male Japanese community dwellers aged 60 to 69 years. MEASUREMENTS The participants' handgrip strength, medical history, and blood samples were taken. We stratified the participants by hypertensive status to investigate the association between handgrip strength and circulating CD34-positive cells according to hypertensive status. Pearson correlation and linear regression analyses were used. RESULTS In the Pearson correlation analysis, handgrip strength and the logarithm of circulating CD34-positive cells were significantly associated in hypertensive participants (r=0.22, p=0.021), but not in non-hypertensive participants (r=-0.01, p=0.943). This relationship was only significant in hypertensive participants (ß=1.94, p=0.021) in the simple linear regression analysis, and it remained significant after adjusting for classic cardiovascular risk factors (ß=1.92, p=0.020). The relationship was not significant in non-hypertensive participants (ß=-0.09, p=0.903). CONCLUSIONS We found a positive association between handgrip strength and circulating CD34-positive cells in hypertensive men. Vascular maintenance attributed by circulating CD34-positive cells is thought to be a background mechanism of this association after hypertension-induced vascular injury in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
Sobajima et al. identify the novel protein RELCH/KIAA1468 as a Rab11-binding protein and show that RELCH/KIAA1468 and Rab11 regulate OSBP-dependent nonvesicular cholesterol transport from recycling endosomes to the trans-Golgi network. Cholesterol, which is endocytosed to the late endosome (LE)/lysosome, is delivered to other organelles through vesicular and nonvesicular transport mechanisms. In this study, we discuss a novel mechanism of cholesterol transport from recycling endosomes (REs) to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) through RELCH/KIAA1468, which is newly identified in this study as a Rab11-GTP– and OSBP-binding protein. After treating cells with 25-hydroxycholesterol to induce OSBP relocation from the cytoplasm to the TGN, REs accumulated around the TGN area, but this accumulation was diminished in RELCH- or OSBP-depleted cells. Cholesterol content in the TGN was decreased in Rab11-, RELCH-, and OSBP-depleted cells and increased in the LE/lysosome. According to in vitro reconstitution experiments, RELCH tethers Rab11-bound RE-like and OSBP-bound TGN-like liposomes and promotes OSBP-dependent cholesterol transfer from RE-like to TGN-like liposomes. These data suggest that RELCH promotes nonvesicular cholesterol transport from REs to the TGN through membrane tethering.

Abstract
A 70-year-old man presented to our clinic with a 10-year history of recurrent pruritic erythema and plaques on his trunk and limbs. Based on the pathological findings and monoclonal rearrangement of the T-cell receptor (TCR)-Cβ1 gene, mycosis fungoides (T2N0M0B0 stage IB) was diagnosed. Despite combination therapy including histone deacetylase inhibitor (vorinostat), the symptoms slowly evolved into Sézary syndrome (SS; T4N1M0B2) over 4 years, with dense infiltrates due to atypical lymphocytes expressing CCR4 developing in the entire dermis. Anti-CCR4 monoclonal antibody (mogamulizumab) treatment was started. After seven courses, the CCR4-positive atypical lymphocytes decreased in the dermis to levels below those seen at the outset of treatment. To our knowledge, there is no previous report of a case of SS managed with vorinostat followed by mogamulizumab demonstrating such a remarkable change in the pathological state following treatment.

Abstract
Centrifugal lipodystrophy (CLD), characterized by a depressed lesion in the abdominal skin, is a chronic disease occurring more often among younger patients of East Asian descent. We present an extremely unusual case of CLD of the scalp associated with reversible hair loss. The patient demonstrated alopecia in the frontal, temporal and occipital areas of the scalp, which connected to form a ring-shaped area of hair loss. Curiously, the area of hair loss gradually expanded outwards while the central region showed normal hair regrowth. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated reduced expression of leptin, an adipokine capable of inducing the anagen phase of the hair cycle, in the adipose tissue, associated with active inflammation. By contrast, recovery of leptin expression was observed at sites of healed inflammatory lesions, suggesting that reversible hair loss might be caused by a change in leptin expression in adipose tissue.
