Abstract
AIM In Japan, along with the increase in the number of dentists, the number of dental facilities has continuously increased as well. This study aimed to examine whether the increase in the number of dental clinics in Japan has led to an improvement in their geographic distribution. METHODS We analysed the number of dental clinics and population in all municipalities in Japan as of 2000, 2005 and 2010. We obtained data on the population from the population census and data on the number of dental clinics from the Survey of Medical Institutions. The number of municipalities was 3,258 in 2000 but had dropped to 1,750 by 2010 due to municipal mergers so population and dental data for other years were recalculated based on 2010 municipal boundaries. Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients were used to assess the distribution of dental clinics per 100,000 persons. RESULTS The mean number of dental clinics per 100,000 persons among all municipalities was 49.9 in 2000, 52.2 in 2005 and 53.4 in 2010. The Gini coefficient for the clinics in the whole country was 0.172 in 2000, 0.164 in 2005 and 0.153 in 2010. CONCLUSION The results suggest that the regional inequalities in the availability of dentists have been reduced gradually as the number of dental clinics has increased.

Abstract
•We present a case of cervical large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) and neoadjuvant chemotherapy with irinotecan plus cisplatin that was extremely effective.•Cervical LCNEC is uncommon and highly aggressive, and optimal therapy has yet to be determined.•This case suggests that neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by radical hysterectomy could be a useful treatment option for bulky cervical LCNEC.

Abstract
Microchimeric fetal cells are present in the maternal body over a long period and thought to have the ability to colonize multiple tissues and organs. They are found in a wide range of maternal tissues affected with variety of diseases, thus, there is a possibility that they may contribute tissue repair and regeneration. To assess their possibility of use in regenerative medicine, we investigated whether fetal cells regenerate infracted maternal organs. We crossbred wild female mice with male transgenic mice, expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), and total hysterectomies were performed at the day 6 of pregnancies. On day 60 after the operations, the mice were injected with streptozotocin (STZ) to induce multiple organs injuries. We also created the ischemic organ injury model ; myocardial infarction model and cerebral infarction model. Detection and quantification of fetal cells were then attempted in a variety of maternal organs via a fluorescent microscope and quantitative PCR amplification of the gfp transgene. Fetal cells were detected only in maternal bone marrow before maternal organs injuries were induced, however, they were detected not only in bone marrow but also in the maternal injured organs. Histological analysis showed that differentiated fetal cells were observed and their morphological appearance was indistinguishable from their maternal counterparts. These results indicate that fetal cells sustained their population in the maternal bone marrow, may have contributed to the maternal tissue regeneration.

Abstract
We report a case of a solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) of the pleura which is suspected of chest wall tumor. A 52-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because of epigastralgia and body weight loss. Chest X-ray and computed tomography showed a circumscribed mass of 35 x 22 mm in diameter arising from the parietal pleura. Positron emission tomography showed uptake valve of 1.5. SFT of chest wall origin was suspected and performed video-assisted thoracic surgery. The pedunculated tumor attached to the visceral pleura. The tumor was diagnosed as a benign SFT in intraoperative diagnosis. Long term clinical follow-up is recommended for patients with SFT, because the tumor recurrence and malignant transformation may occur in tumors with benign histological features.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated that several messenger RNA (mRNA) isoforms have been transcribed from the alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) gene. In rats, it was reported that the novel exon, termed the exon V, exists between the exons 7 and 8, and the novel mRNA isoform (termed AFP-V mRNA) is synthesized using the exon V. In this study, a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was performed and quantitative analysis was done on the AFP mRNA to identify the exon V and the AFP-V mRNA in humans. As a result, 2 novel exons, the exons VA and VB, were identified. Furthermore, 3 novel AFP mRNAs, the AFP-V1, -V2, and -V3 mRNA, were demonstrated to be expressed through alternative splicing. Expression of the AFP-V2 mRNA isoform and the wild-type mRNA was differentially regulated, implying that the AFP-V mRNA isoforms could be used in diagnosis and classification of hepatocellular carcinoma and ovarian carcinoma.
