Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Medical nutrition therapy plays a critical role in the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, appropriate measures of eating behaviours, such as eating rate, have not yet been clearly established. The aim of the present study was to examine the associations among eating rate, obesity and cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS A total of 7,275 Japanese individuals aged ≥40 years who had normal fasting glucose levels, impaired fasting glucose or diabetes were divided into four groups according to self-reported eating rate: slow, medium, relatively fast and very fast. The associations between eating rate and various cardiovascular risk factors were investigated cross-sectionally. RESULTS The proportions of participants who were obese or who had elevated waist circumference levels increased progressively with increases in eating rate (p for trend <0.001), regardless of glucose tolerance status. These associations remained significant after adjustment for potential confounders, namely, age, sex, total energy intake, dietary fibre intake, current smoking, current drinking and regular exercise (p for trend <0.001). Blood pressure and lipid levels also tended to increase in association with eating rate. HbA(1c) rose significantly as eating rate increased, even after multivariate adjustment, including BMI, in diabetic patients on insulin therapy (p = 0.02), whereas fasting plasma glucose did not increase significantly. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Our findings suggest that eating rate is associated with obesity and other cardiovascular risk factors and therefore may be a modifiable risk factor in the management of cardiovascular risk factors and diabetes.

Abstract
Most electronic medical record (EMR) systems in Japan are equipped with nursing documentation functions. Electronic nursing records (ENRs) are much more accessible to doctors and paramedical staff than paper-based record systems. Face-to-face communication might be used less often to acquire patient information collected by nurses if EMR systems were effectively used. We conducted a questionnaire survey to investigate the methods used by other health professionals to acquire patient information collected by nurses under EMR implementation at two university hospitals. There were 153 responses, which showed that 51% of doctors and 16% of paramedical staff still often used face-to-face communication even though more than 70% of them often accessed the ENR. Only 35% of doctors and paramedical staff recognized that the EMR system helped reduce the time needed to acquire patient information; furthermore, 32% thought that using the EMR system to acquire patient information was bothersome. These results indicate that the operability of EMR systems is still insufficient for health professionals.

Abstract
On the basis of the three-dimensional pharmacophore model of opioid κ agonists, we simplified the structure of nalfurafine (selective κ agonist) to find the essential structural moieties for binding the opioid receptors, especially κ receptor type. As a result, we found that the trans-fused decahydroisoquinoline derivatives without a phenol ring bound the opioid receptor in micromolar order and that both the amide side chain and the nitrogen substituted by the cyclopropylmethyl group were indispensable moieties for eliciting the κ selectivity. The simple decahydroisoquinoline without amide side chain also bound the opioid receptor without receptor type selectivity, suggesting that the message-address concept would be applicable to even these simple derivatives. These findings that the simple decahydroisoquinoline derivatives showed the affinities for the opioid receptors, especially some of the compounds showed κ selectivity, are the first example in the opioid field.

Abstract
Novel double-capped triplet drugs, which have one pharmacophore unit and two epoxymethano or dimethylepoxymethano structures (termed cap or diMe-cap structures, respectively) were synthesized. Key intermediate oxazoline 16 derived from acetone enabled the effective synthesis of double-capped triplets. SYK-134 (7a) and SYK-135 (8a) with N-cyclopropylmethyl substituent and cap structures showed selectivities for the κ opioid receptor. On the other hand, the N-Me series exhibited selectivities for the μ opioid receptor. The double-capped triplet drugs with diMe-cap structures preferred the μ receptor independently of their N-substituents. SYK-385 (19b), one of the μ-selective double-capped triplet drugs, showed the highest selectivity for the μ receptor among the reported μ-selective nonpeptide ligands.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is considered to be the most promising non-surgical ablation technique for the treatment of small breast cancer. In feasibility studies, the ablated tumor was surgically removed after RFA, and the tumor cell viability were assessed by histological and/or immunohistological examinations. However, these assessments of tumor viability do not take the place of long-term follow-up in patients treated with RFA alone, because they do not allow for them to be followed up for recurrence after RFA, or to determine if there were any undesirable complications of this procedure. At present, few data are available regarding long-term follow-up of patients treated with this modality.
Methods: Since 2005, we have performed RFA and sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy in 19 cases with invasive breast cancer less than 2.0 cm in greatest diameter. After SLN biopsy, a primary electrode (seven-array model 70 Starburst needle electrode; RITA Medical Systems, Mountain View, CA) was inserted into the tumor under real-time US guidance. Then, the prongs of the needle electrode were deployed over a distance of 3 cm in all cases, and the RF generator (RITA model 1500) was activated and set to automatic, with power at 20 W, temperature of 95°C, and an ablation time of 15 min. Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) was performed in patients with positive SLNs. Several months after RFA therapy, the ablated tumor tissue was excised by multiple mammotome biopsy and examined histologically or immunohistochemically with H&E staining, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH)-diaphorase staining, and single-stranded (ss) DNA staining. All cases were followed-up after breast radiation and systemic therapies.
Results: The mean tumor size based on the ultrasonographic maximum dimension was 1.3 cm (range: 0.5–2.0 cm). Although complete response was histologically confirmed in only 8 cases, NADH-diaphorase and ssDNA staining did not demonstrate any viable tumor cells in any of the ablated lesions. At a mean follow-up of 60 months (follow-up range, 37–82 months), there were no cases of in-breast recurrence, although one patient died due to hepatic metastases. Cosmesis of the conserved breast was excellent or good in all of the cases, but a hard lump was persistent after RFA in half of the cases.
Conclusions: The long-term outcome of patients treated with RFA is encouraging with regard to cosmesis and local control. However, a persisted lump can cause patient discomfort, anxiety and fear. Therefore, further studies are needed to establish the optimal technique. Moreover, a prospective study will be required to determine the equivalency in local recurrence rates between the RFA therapy and conventional breast-conserving treatment.

Abstract
The accident of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant of Tokyo Electric Power Cooperation (TEPCO) after the great east Japan earthquake (11 March 2011) elevated the background level of environmental radiation in Eastern Japan. Around the Tokyo metropolitan area, especially around Kashiwa and Nagareyama cities, the ambient dose equivalent rate has been significantly increased after the accident. Responding to strong requests from citizens, the local governments started to monitor the ambient dose equivalent rate precisely and officially, about 3 months after the accident had occurred. The two cities in cooperation with each other also organised a local forum supported by three radiation specialists. In this article, the activities of the local governments are introduced, with main focus on radiation monitoring and measurements. Topics are standardisation of environmental radiation measurements for ambient dose rate, dose mapping activity, investigation of foodstuff and drinking water, lending survey meters to citizens, etc. Based on the data and facts mainly gained by radiation monitoring, risk management and relating activity have been organised. 'Small consultation meetings in kindergartens', 'health consultation service for citizens', 'education meeting on radiation protection for teachers, medical staffs, local government staffs, and leaders of active volunteer parties' and 'decontamination activity', etc. are present key activities of the risk management and restoration around the Tokyo metropolitan area.

Abstract
To clarify the essential structures of an opioid κ receptor selective agonist, nalfurafine, for binding to the κ receptor, we designed and synthesized the decahydro(iminoethano)phenanthrene derivatives with an oxygen functionality at the 3-position. The introduction of a hydroxy group to the derivatives increased the affinity and selectivity to the κ receptor regardless of the configuration at the 3-position. However, their affinities were lower than those of nalfurafine with the phenolic hydroxy group. The results suggested that the acidity of the hydroxy group would play an important role in the interaction with the opioid receptor. The low affinities of the 3-keto derivatives indicated that the 3-hydroxy group may participate in the hydrogen bonding with the receptor site not as a hydrogen acceptor but as a hydrogen donor. This is the first experimental evidence for a role as a hydrogen donor for the 3-hydroxy group in morphinans. Furthermore, the κ selectivities in these derivatives with the 6α-amide side chain were affected by the the 3-hydroxy group. The obtained structure-activity relationship information is expected to be useful for the design of more selective ligands for the κ receptor.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Laparoscopy for small bowel obstruction (SBO) has increasingly been performed for the advantages minimally invasive surgery provides. However, its benefit remains unclear. METHODS From January 2004 to July 2011, we enrolled 28 consecutive patients who underwent a laparoscopic operation for SBO, secondary to postoperative adhesions. We compared the results of SBO patients treated laparoscopically with those of 25 patients who underwent conventional open laparotomy in a retrospective matched-pair analysis. RESULTS Laparoscopic treatment was completed in 25 patients (89%), including 17 laparoscopic-assisted cases. The mean procedural time was 112 minutes in the laparoscopic group and 79 minutes in the open group (P < 0.05). Patients resumed oral intake after a mean of 3 days in the laparoscopic group compared with a mean of 6.5 days in the open group (P < 0.05). The length of hospital stay was 11 and 22 days (P < 0.05), respectively, in the laparoscopic and open groups. Postoperative complications occurred in two patients in the laparoscopy group and 14 patients in the open group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The laparoscopic approach was effective for the management of mechanical SBO in selected patients. Furthermore, minimally invasive laparoscopic adhesiolysis is also feasible and brings the benefit of cosmetic results.

Abstract
The optical sectioning method of confocal laser scanning microscopy provides higher resolution than standard light microscope techniques. The use of optical rather than physical sections for detailed histological analyses of bone obviates the need for either decalcification or complex plastic embedding processes which are required as a routine for the preparation of thin microtome sections. In this study we have used confocal laser scanning microscopy for the morphological analyses of fresh unembedding human cortical bone, bone allograft and bone cement interfaces. Our results have indicated that such an approach has provided a relatively easy and rapid means for the assessment of the histology of normal and pathological bone.

Abstract
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a crucial event in wound healing, tissue repair and cancer progression in adult tissues. We have recently shown that transforming growth factor (TGF)-β-induced EMT involves isoform switching of fibroblast growth factor receptors by alternative splicing. We performed a microarray-based analysis at single exon level to elucidate changes in splicing variants generated during TGF-β-induced EMT, and found that TGF-β induces broad alteration of splicing patterns by downregulating epithelial splicing regulatory proteins (ESRPs). This was achieved by TGF-β-mediated upregulation of δEF1 family proteins, δEF1 and SIP1. δEF1 and SIP1 each remarkably repressed ESRP2 transcription through binding to the ESRP2 promoter in NMuMG cells. Silencing of both δEF1 and SIP1, but not either alone, abolished the TGF-β-induced ESRP repression. The expression profiles of ESRPs were inversely related to those of δEF1 and SIP in human breast cancer cell lines and primary tumor specimens. Further, overexpression of ESRPs in TGF-β-treated cells resulted in restoration of the epithelial splicing profiles as well as attenuation of certain phenotypes of EMT. Therefore, δEF1 family proteins repress the expression of ESRPs to regulate alternative splicing during TGF-β-induced EMT and the progression of breast cancers.

Abstract
Since 1952, when Gates determined the stereo structure of morphine, numerous groups have focused on discovering a nonnarcotic opioid drug. Although several natural, semisynthetic, and synthetic opioid ligands (alkaloids and peptides) have been developed in clinical studies, very few were nonnarcotic opioid drugs. One of the most important studies in the opioid field appeared in 1976, when Martin and colleagues established types of opioid receptors (these are now classified into mu, delta, and kappa types). Later, Portoghese discovered a highly selective mu type opioid receptor antagonist, beta-funaltrexamine. This led to the finding that the mu type opioid receptor was correlated to drug dependence. Consequently, delta, and particularly kappa, opioid agonists were expected to lead to ideal opioid drugs. Moreover, opioid antagonists were evaluated for the treatment of symptoms related to undesirable opioid system activation. In this chapter, we provide a short survey of opioid ligands in development and describe the discovery of the two most promising drugs, TRK-851 and TRK-820 (nalfurafine hydrochloride).

The twin drug bearing the same pharmacophores is a "symmetrical twin drug", whereas that possessing different pharmacophores is a "nonsymmetrical twin drug." In general, the symmetrical twin drug is expected to produce more potent and/or selective pharmacological effects, whereas the nonsymmetrical twin drug is anticipated to show both pharmacological activities stemming from the individual pharmacophores (dual action). On the other hand, nonsymmetrical triplet drugs, which have two of the same pharmacophores and one different moiety, are expected to elicit both increased pharmacological action and dual action. The two identical portions could bind the same receptor sites simultaneously while the third portion could bind a different receptor site or enzyme. This review will mainly focus on the twin and triplet drugs with an evaluation of their in vivo pharmacological effects, and will also include a description of their pharmacology and synthesis.

Abstract
We previously reported that the δ opioid receptor (DOP) agonists SNC80 and TAN-67 produce potent antidepressant-like and antinociceptive effects in rodents. However, SNC80 produced convulsive effects. Recently, we succeeded in synthesizing a novel DOP agonist called KNT-127. The present study examined the convulsive, antidepressant-like, and antinociceptive effects of KNT-127 in mice. In contrast to SNC80, KNT-127 produced no convulsions at doses of up to 100mg/kg. In mice subjected to the forced swim test, a screening model for antidepressants, KNT-127 (1mg/kg, s.c.) significantly decreased the duration of immobility and increased the duration of swimming without influencing spontaneous locomotor activity. These behavioral changes were similar to that observed for the tricyclic antidepressant imipramine (6mg/kg). The antidepressant-like effect of KNT-127 in mice was antagonized by pretreatment with naltrindole (NTI), a selective DOP antagonist, or naltriben, a putative DOP(2) subtype antagonist. In addition, KNT-127 (3mg/kg, s.c.) significantly reduced the number of acetic acid-induced abdominal constrictions and the duration of licking time, respectively, in mice subjected to a writhing test and a formalin test. These antinociceptive effects were antagonized by pretreatment with either NTI or 7-benzylidenenaltrexone, a putative DOP(1) subtype antagonist. We propose that KNT-127 should be considered as a candidate compound for the development of DOP-based antidepressants and/or analgesics that lack convulsive effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 'FOXP3+ regulatory T cells' (Tregs) are reported to be increased in tumour-bearing hosts including patients with melanoma, leading to tumour immune suppression. However, this idea is challenged by recent evidence that the 'FOXP3+ Treg' fraction in fact contains activated 'nonregulatory' T cells. Also, FOXP3+ T cells are reported to have functionally and kinetically distinct subsets. OBJECTIVES To investigate whether either or both of regulatory and 'nonregulatory' FOXP3+ T cells are perturbed in patients with melanoma. METHODS FOXP3+ T cells were classified into three subsets, namely CD45RO+FOXP3(low) nonregulatory T cells, CD45RO+FOXP3(high) effector Tregs, and CD45RO-FOXP3(low) naïve Tregs, according to their expression levels of FOXP3 and CD45RO. The percentage and cytokine production of these FOXP3+ T-cell subsets were assessed by flow cytometry. RESULTS Both regulatory and nonregulatory T cells were increased in patients with melanoma. Moreover, we found three unexpected perturbations in FOXP3+ T-cell subsets: (i) patients with melanoma showed higher frequencies of FOXP3(low) nonregulatory T cells, which decreased and normalized after tumour removal; (ii) FOXP3(low) naïve Tregs containing higher frequencies of interferon-γ+ cells increased with tumour progression; and (iii) CD45RO+FOXP3(high) effector Tregs were pronouncedly infiltrated around tumour tissues. CONCLUSIONS These findings demonstrate that patients with melanoma have distinct and differential perturbation of both regulatory and nonregulatory FOXP3+ T cells. The degree of perturbation is associated with tumour burden and progression, suggesting that the perturbation reflects fundamental pathophysiological processes in patients with melanoma. The presented analysis provides a practical approach to investigate the immunological environment of cancer patients.

Abstract
NK cells can be divided into two subsets, CD56(dim) and CD56(bright) NK cells, based on their expression of CD56 and CD16. In the present study, we analyzed NK cell dysfunction in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), with a particular focus on the expression of CD16 and CD56 molecules. Expression of CD16 and CD56, and the distribution of CD56(dim) or CD56(bright) NK cells gated on CD56(+)CD3(-) NK cells were compared between ESCC patients (n= 40) and healthy donors (n= 38). Purified NK cells were evaluated for Cetuximab-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-expressing ESCC cell lines. Although there were no significant differences in the distribution of CD56(dim) and CD56(bright) NK cells between ESCC patients and healthy donors, down-regulated CD16 and up-regulated CD56 were significantly observed on NK cells of ESCC patients, paralleling the impairment of Cetuximab-mediated ADCC, in comparison with healthy donors. After patients received curative resections of ESCC, the down-regulated CD16 and up-regulated CD56 were significantly restored to the levels of healthy donors. Moreover, TGF-beta1 partially contributed to down-regulation of CD16 on NK cells. Down-regulated CD16 and up-regulated CD56 molecules on NK cells were observed in ESCC patients, resulting in NK cell dysfunction.
