Abstract
We investigated the effects of individual (IC) and group (GC) diet and exercise counseling in men with metabolic syndrome. Participants received exercise instruction and exercise load was monitored. IC participants received individual diet counseling sessions and general consultations at baseline and monthly. GC participants received a group diet counseling session at baseline and general consultations at baseline and monthly. In the IC group, body mass index (BMI) percent body fat, waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c, and liver function levels were reduced significantly after 3 months, whereas in the GC group, waist circumference and levels of liver function were reduced. Exercise load was negatively correlated with change in BMI and waist circumference in the IC group, and positively correlated with changes in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in all subjects and in the GC group. Diet and exercise counseling, especially IC, may benefit patients with metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the skin represents the most common malignancy in humans. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small regulatory RNAs with pleiotropic function, are commonly misregulated in cancer. Here we identify miR-203, a miRNA abundantly and preferentially expressed in skin, to be downregulated in BCCs. We show that activation of the Hedgehog (HH) pathway, critically involved in the pathogenesis of BCCs, as well as the EGFR/MEK/ERK/c-JUN signaling pathway suppresses miR-203. We identify c-JUN, a key effector of the HH pathway, as a novel direct target for miR-203 in vivo. Further supporting the role of miR-203 as a tumor suppressor, in vivo delivery of miR-203 mimics in a BCC mouse model results in the reduction of tumor growth. Our results identify a regulatory circuit involving miR-203 and c-JUN, which provides functional control over basal cell proliferation and differentiation. We propose that miR-203 functions as a ‘bona fide' tumor suppressor in BCC, whose suppressed expression contributes to oncogenic transformation via derepression of multiple stemness- and proliferation-related genes, and its overexpression could be of therapeutic value.

Abstract
Since the neuroradiological features of patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome are not well-understood, examinations using functional imaging were performed in this study. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 1H-magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) were performed using a clinical 3-Tesla MR imager in 4 patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (2 boys and 2 girls; aged 2-6 years.) and 20 age- and sex-matched healthy control subjects. Furthermore, interictal 123I-iomazenil (IMZ) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was examined in 2 of the 4 patients. Among the 4 patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, 2 patients showed polymicrogyria and 1 patient showed agyria. Those patients with brain malformations also showed abnormal brain artery patterns and decreased accumulation of IMZ in 123I-IMZ SPECT. Although all 4 patients showed epileptic discharges in their electroencephalograms (EEG), one patient with polymicrogyria had no seizure episodes. Decreases in γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) corresponding to the areas of polymicrogyria and/or epileptic discharges in EEG were shown in all patients except for the patient with agyria. Although consistent evidence was not seen in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome in this study, brain malformations and disturbances of the GABAergic nervous system would be underlying mechanisms of the neurodevelopmental abnormalities in this syndrome.

Abstract
The Hammett σ constant has for a long time been known to be one of most important linear free-energy related parameters that correlate with biological activity. It is a conventionally used electronic parameter in studies of enzymatic quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR). However, it is not necessarily obvious why σ represents variations in the free-energy change associated with the complex formation between a congeneric series of ligands with their target protein. So far, several powerful molecular calculations, such as the ab initio fragment molecular orbital (FMO) one, that are directly applicable to ligand-protein complexes have emerged. In this study, we comprehensively reevaluate experimentally derived parameter σ confirming it represents intermolecular interaction energy terms, by applying molecular orbital (MO) calculations to a simple ligand-protein complex model. The current results provide a rational and quantitative basis for bridging the gap between the traditional QSAR approach and 'the modern QSAR one', which involves the molecular calculations to evaluate the overall free-energy change for complex formation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To clarify the cognitive and event-related potentials (ERPs) profiles of adult-onset genetically-proven non-demented myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). METHODS Fourteen DM1 patients and matched 14 normal controls were enrolled. DM1 patients were compared with normal controls, using a variety of neuropsychological tests; an auditory "oddball" counting paradigm for the ERPs, and low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (LORETA). For patients, ERPs and neuropsychological parameters were correlated with CTG repeat size, duration of illness, grip strength, and arterial blood gas analysis. RESULTS Frontal lobe dysfunction, prolonged N1 latency, and attenuated N2/P3 amplitudes were observed in DM1. Longer CTG repeat size was associated with fewer categories achieved on Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. Greater grip strength was associated with better scores on color-word "interference" of Stroop test. P3 latency was negatively correlated with PaO(2). LORETA revealed significant hypoactivities at the orbitofrontal and medial temporal lobe, cingulate, and insula. There was no correlation between ERPs and CTG expansion. CONCLUSIONS Adult-onset non-demented DM1 presented frontal lobe dysfunction. Absence of correlations between CTG repeat size and objective ERP parameters suggested CTG expansion in lymphocytes does not directly contribute to cognitive dysfunction. SIGNIFICANCE CTG expansion in lymphocytes does not directly contribute to cognitive dysfunction of adult-onset non-demented DM1.

Abstract
Phylogenetic relationships among species of the family Mustelidae were examined using the combined nucleotide sequences of the three mitochondrial genetic loci (cytochrome b (MT-CYB; 1140 bp), NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 (MT-ND2; 1044 bp), and displacement loop (MT-DLOOP; 540 bp)), with special emphasis on the phylogenetic history of four Taiwanese mustelid species: Martes flavigula (Boddaert, 1785), Melogale moschata (Gray, 1831), Mustela nivalis L., 1766, and Mustela sibirica Pallas, 1773. Maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis of the combined sequences of the mitochondrial genetic loci produced a topology largely congruent with that of previous studies at the species level. Analyses of intraspecific genetic variations revealed two Melogale moschata individuals from Taiwan and Vietnam that showed genetic distances comparable with interspecific variations within the mustelid lineages. Furthermore, Mustela nivalis, recently discovered in Taiwan, was not as genetically differentiated from other continental conspecific individuals as a previous morphological survey suggested. Divergence time estimations for the mustelid lineages of Taiwan and the Eurasian continent by the Bayesian relaxed molecular clock approach suggested multiple colonization of Taiwan by mustelids from the continent during the Pleistocene, creating a hierarchical pattern of endemism based on the differential isolation history of the mustelid species in Taiwan.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptor 40 (GPR40) is being recently considered to be a new potential drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes because of its role in the enhancement of free fatty acid-regulated glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells. We initially identified benzyloxyphenylpropanoic acid (1b) (EC(50) = 510 nM), which was designed based on the structure of free fatty acids, as a promising lead compound with GPR40 agonist activity. Chemical modification of compound 1b led to the discovery of 3-{4-[(2',6'-dimethylbiphenyl-3-yl)methoxy]-2-fluorophenyl}propanoic acid (4p) as a potent GPR40 agonist (EC(50) = 5.7 nM). Compound 4p exhibited acceptable pharmacokinetic profiles and significant glucose-lowering effects during an oral glucose tolerance test in diabetic rats. Moreover, no hypoglycemic event was observed even after administration of a high dose of compound 4p to normal fasted rats. These pharmacological results suggest that GPR40 agonists might be novel glucose-dependent insulin secretagogues with little or no risk of hypoglycemia.

METHODS Da and Dp were classified into seven obscurity grades, and the Dp contour was classified into three types. The grades, types and TMJ function were compared by 3.0 T pseudodynamic MRI. RESULTS Unobscured Da images at condylar positions posterior to the articular eminence were associated with normal TMJ function (P = 0.046 < 0.05). Unobscured Dp images at condylar positions anterior to the articular eminence were associated with normal TMJ function (P = 0.033 < 0.05). In addition, unobscured Dp images following flap insertion were associated with normal TMJ function (P = 0.043 < 0.05). There was no statistical relationship between Dp contour types and TMJ movement, but any change observed in the Dp contour during mouth opening was associated with abnormal TMJ function (P = 0.040 < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Grading of Da and Dp obscurity based on how well the areas were defined in the images, identifying the condylar positions in relation to the glenoid fossa and articular eminences, and observing the changes in Dp contour types were useful for diagnosing TMJ abnormalities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study describes an improved method for examining and diagnosing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dynamics by 3.0 T pseudodynamic MRI. METHODS Clinical observation and conventional static MRI of volunteers (one without and eight with TMJ arthrosis) were followed by 3.0 T pseudodynamic MRI in positions ranging from the mouth closed to mouth fully opened. Condylar head (Cd), articular disc anterior border (Da) and articular disc posterior border (Dp) were digitized on sagittal images to determine trajectory and velocity patterns. RESULTS Patients were divided into three groups based on the presence or absence of dysfunction: Group 1, no dysfunction on the right or left side of the TMJ; Group 2, dysfunction on the right or left side of the TMJ; and Group 3, dysfunction on both the right and left sides of the TMJs. In 75% of patients (12 of 16 joints), pseudodynamic TMJ analysis was useful for determining a functional abnormality. Using a points system based on three trajectory and seven velocity patterns, discs with adhesion and perforation had significantly fewer points than discs with anterior displacement (with and without reduction) and discs with no abnormality (P = 0.019 < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Trajectory and velocity patterns based on 3.0 T pseudodynamic MRI identified the affected side and determined the extent of morbidity in the Cd as well as the Da and Dp. The typical abnormal movement pattern of discs with anterior displacement (with and without reduction) and pathological structural changes of the articular disc (such as adhesion and perforation) could be identified.

Abstract
We proposed a novel QSAR (quantitative structure-activity relationship) procedure called LERE (linear expression by representative energy terms)-QSAR involving molecular calculations such as ab initio fragment molecular orbital and generalized Born/surface area ones. We applied LERE-QSAR to two datasets for the free-energy changes during complex formation between carbonic anhydrase and a series of substituted benzenesulfonamides. The first compound set (Set I) and the second one (Set II) include relatively small substituents and alkyl chains of different lengths in the benzene ring, respectively. Variation of the inhibitory activity in Set I is expressed as the combination of Hammett σ and the hydrophobic substituent constant π in classical QSAR, and variation in Set II only by π. LERE-QSAR analyses clearly revealed that effects of σ and π on the activity variations in Sets I and II are consistently explainable with the energy terms in the LERE formulation, and provide more detailed and direct information as to the binding mechanism. The proposed procedure was demonstrated to provide a quantitative basis for understanding ligand-protein interactions at the electronic and atomic levels.
