Abstract
UNLABELLED We examined the spinal distribution of the types of vertebral deformities and the associations of vertebral deformities and osteoarthritis with back pain in Japanese women. Midthoracic and upper lumbar vertebrae were more susceptible to deformity. Vertebral deformity and osteoarthritis were frequent and were associated with back pain. INTRODUCTION Vertebral fractures due to osteoporosis and osteoarthritis are both common and significant health problems in aged people. However, little is known about the descriptive epidemiology of the individual deformity types and the relative clinical impact in women in Japan. METHODS Lateral radiographs were obtained from 584 Japanese women ages 40 to 89 years old. Deformities were defined as vertebral heights of more than 3 standard deviations (SDs) below the normal mean. Osteoarthritis was defined as Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grade 2 or higher. Information on upper or low back pain during the previous month was collected by questionnaire. We compared the spinal distribution of the three types of vertebral deformities (wedge, endplate, and crush) typical of fractures and examined the associations of number and type of vertebral deformities and osteoarthritis with back pain. RESULTS Fifteen percent of women had at least one vertebral deformity and 74% had vertebral osteoarthritis. The prevalence of upper or low back pain was 30.1%. Deformities were most common in the midthoracic and upper lumbar regions and wedge was the frequent type, followed by endplate and crush. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the odds of back pain was 3.0 (95% CI 1.5-6.3) times higher for women with a single wedge deformity and 3.2 (95% CI 1.0--0.6) times higher for women with two or more wedge deformities, compared to women with no wedge deformity. Vertebral osteoarthritis was associated with back pain (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.1-2.9), independent of other covariates including age and deformities. CONCLUSION Our results in this group of Japanese women are similar to and consistent with results reported previously in other populations of Japanese and Caucasians.

Abstract
The fullerene C60 is used in consumer products such as cosmetics owing to its antioxidative effects and is being developed for nanomedical applications. However, knowledge regarding the safety of fullerene C60, especially after oral administration, is sparse. Here, we examined the safety of fullerene C60 in mice after 7 d of exposure to orally administered polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-wrapped fullerene C60 (PVP-fullerene C60). Mice treated with PVP-fullerene C60 showed few changes in the plasma levels of various markers of kidney and liver injury and experienced no significant hematologic effects. Furthermore, the histology of the colon of PVP-fullerene C60-treated mice was indistinguishable from that of control mice. These results suggest that PVP-fullerene C60 lacks toxicity after high-dose oral administration and indicate that PVP-fullerene C60 can be considered safe for oral medication. These data provide basic information that likely will facilitate the production of safe and effective forms of fullerene C60.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine whether habitual dietary intake of marine-origin n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (MOPUFA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are associated with functional mobility in the community-dwelling oldest old, 85 years or older, who are at high risk for physical disability. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING A community-based survey conducted at university research center or home-based. PARTICIPANTS Four hundred seventeen (189 men, 228 women) out of 542 participants in the baseline examination of the Tokyo Oldest Old Survey on Total Health, a community-based ongoing longitudinal study among the oldest old living in the center of Japan. MEASUREMENTS Habitual dietary intake of MOPUFA was assessed by the brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ), and functional mobility was assessed by the timed up and go test. Plasma inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α) were measured. We evaluated the cross-sectional association between habitual intake of MOPUFA and functional mobility using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Prior to the analysis, validation of BDHQ in this study was confirmed among 190 participants (96 men, 94 women) based on the EPA and DHA concentrations in the erythrocyte membrane phospholipids as reference. RESULTS Moderate correlation between estimated dietary intake of EPA/DHA and concentration of EPA/DHA in the erythrocyte membrane phospholipids was obtained (Spearman's r=0.29-0.58, p<0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a lower habitual intake of EPA+DHA was significantly associated with poor functional mobility in men but not in women (OR (95% CI) per 1 SD increase of EPA+DHA intake; 0.55 (0.33-0.91), 0.88 (0.59-1.32), men and women respectively). CONCLUSIONS Habitual intake of MOPUFA was associated with functional mobility in community-dwelling oldest old men.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to estimate the risk of injury from dental magnetic attachments due to their radiofrequency (RF) heating and magnetically induced displacement during 3.0 T MRI. METHODS To examine the magnetic attachments, we adopted the American Society for Testing and Materials F2182-02a and F2052-06 standards in two MRI systems (Achieva 3.0 T Nova Dual; Philips, Tokyo, Japan, and Signa HDxt 3.0 T; GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, WI). The temperature change was measured in a cylindrical keeper (GIGAUSS D600; GC, Tokyo, Japan) with coping of the casting alloy and a keeper with a dental implant at the maximum specific absorption rate (SAR) for 20 min. To measure the magnetically induced displacement force, three sizes of keepers (GIGAUSS D400, D600 and D1000) were used in deflection angle tests conducted at the point of the maximum magnetic field strength. RESULTS Temperature elevations of both coping and implant were higher in the Signa system than in the Achieva system. The highest temperature changes in the keeper with implant and keeper with coping were 0.6 °C and 0.8 °C in the Signa system, respectively. The temperature increase did not exceed 1.0 °C at any location. The deflection angle (α) was not measurable because it exceeded 90°. GIGAUSS D400 required an extra 3.0 g load to constrain the deflection angle to less than 45°; GIGAUSS D600 and D1000 required 5.0 and 9.0 g loads, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Dental magnetic attachments pose no risk due to RF heating and magnetically induced displacement at 3.0 T MRI. However, it is necessary to confirm that these keepers are securely attached to the prosthesis before imaging.

Abstract
We demonstrate various patterns of traumatic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears including some atypical that cannot be categorized under Palmer's classification. TFCC traumatic tears in 173 wrists were examined arthroscopically or macroscopically and divided into disk tears (subdivided into four types: slit tear, flap tear, horizontal tear and tear within the distal radioulnar joint) and peripheral tears (subdivided into six types: ulnocarpal ligament tear, dorsal tear, radial tear, ulnar styloid tear, foveal tear and distal radioulnar ligament tear). Combinations of these types were found in 32 wrists. Wrist arthroscopy revealed various traumatic TFCC tears that do not come under Palmer's classification; therefore establishment of a new classification for traumatic TFCC tears seems to be warranted.

Abstract
AIM A case-controlled study was performed to investigate the association of colonic angiectasia with other conditions and to identify risk factors for bleeding. METHOD Information was collected from all patients who underwent colonoscopy at our hospital between January 2008 and December 2010. Data on 90 individuals with angiectasia [58 men; median age 69 (26-92) years] were compared with those of 180 individuals without angiectasia, matched for gender and age. RESULTS Multivariate analysis showed that occult gastrointestinal bleeding [odds ratio (OR) 2.523; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.238-5.142], liver cirrhosis (OR 13.195; 95% CI 3.502-49.711), chronic renal failure (OR 6.796; 95% CI 1.598-28.904) and valvular heart disease (OR 6.425; 95% CI 1.028-40.165) were identified as significant predictors of the presence of colonic angiectasia. Eight patients were diagnosed with bleeding from angiectasia. Cardiovascular disease (OR 22.047; 95% CI 1.063-457.345) and multiple angiectasias (P-value 0.0019) were identified as significant risk factors for active bleeding. Medication and a large size were not associated with an increased risk of bleeding. CONCLUSION The presence of colonic angiectasia was associated with valvular heart disease, liver cirrhosis and chronic renal failure. Valvular heart disease and multiple lesions increased the risk of bleeding.

Abstract
In the fast-ignition scheme, very hard x-rays (hereinafter referred to as γ-rays) are generated by Bremsstrahlung radiation from fast electrons. Significant backgrounds were observed around the deuterium-deuterium fusion neutron signals in the experiment in 2010. In this paper the backgrounds were studied in detail, based on Monte Carlo simulations, and they were confirmed to be γ-rays from the target, scattered γ-rays from the experimental bay walls (γ'-rays), and neutrons generated by (γ, n) reactions in either the target vacuum chamber or the diagnostic instruments (γ-n neutrons).

Abstract
The Double Chooz experiment presents an indication of reactor electron antineutrino disappearance consistent with neutrino oscillations. An observed-to-predicted ratio of events of 0.944±0.016(stat)±0.040(syst) was obtained in 101 days of running at the Chooz nuclear power plant in France, with two 4.25 GW(th) reactors. The results were obtained from a single 10 m(3) fiducial volume detector located 1050 m from the two reactor cores. The reactor antineutrino flux prediction used the Bugey4 flux measurement after correction for differences in core composition. The deficit can be interpreted as an indication of a nonzero value of the still unmeasured neutrino mixing parameter sin(2)2θ(13). Analyzing both the rate of the prompt positrons and their energy spectrum, we find sin(2)2θ(13)=0.086±0.041(stat)±0.030(syst), or, at 90% C.L., 0.017<sin(2)2θ(13)<0.16.

Abstract
Since metastasis is one of the most important prognostic factors in colorectal cancer, development of new methods to diagnose and prevent metastasis is highly desirable. However, the molecular mechanisms leading to the metastatic phenotype have not been well elucidated. In this study, a proteomics-based search was carried out for metastasis-related proteins in colorectal cancer by analyzing the differential expression of proteins in primary versus metastasis focus-derived colorectal tumor cells. Protein expression profiles were determined using a tissue microarray (TMA), and the results identified Rho GDP-dissociation inhibitor alpha (Rho GDI) as a metastasis-related protein in colon and prostate cancer patients. Consequently, Rho GDI may be useful as a diagnostic biomarker and/or a therapeutic to prevent colon and prostate cancer metastasis.

Abstract
In the previous report, we demonstrated that bovine germinal vesicle (GV) stage oocytes vitrified using a nylon mesh holder showed an in vitro maturation rate to the metaphase II (MII) stage similar to that of fresh ones. However, cleavage and developmental rates of vitrified oocytes were low. Because mitochondria and the cytoskeleton are thought to have a central role in energy supply and cellular division in mammalian embryogenesis, it seems possible that alternation in their function in vitrified GV oocytes may contribute to subsequent lower cleavage and developmental rates. The oxygen consumption rate reflects the mitochondrial activity and its measurement may be an effective way for non-invasive evaluation of oocyte quality. In this study, to ascertain that altered mitochondrial functions and cytoskeleton may contribute to reduce the quality of oocytes after vitrification, we evaluated the distribution of active mitochondria and the cytoskeleton in vitrified oocytes. We also examined the relationship between oxygen consumption rate and the distribution of active mitochondria in vitrified oocytes. Bovine GV oocytes connected with cumulus cells were exposed to the cryoprotectant (EFS40) in a stepwise way and transferred onto a nylon mesh holder, followed by plunging them directly into liquid nitrogen. After warming, vitrified oocytes were allowed in vitro maturation. After denuding, matured oocytes were stained with a mitochondria-specific probe, rhodamine-123 and then oxygen consumption rate using an embryo respirometer (HV-403; Research Institute for Functional Peptides, Yamagata, Japan) was measured in each oocyte. According to morphological distribution of mitochondria, oocytes were classified as follows: type 1, uniform distribution; type 2, spotted distribution; and type 3, a weak fluorescence. The oxygen consumption rate of the fresh oocytes at the MII stage was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that of vitrified oocytes (5.24 and 4 × 1015 mol–1 s–1, respectively), although there was no difference between the fresh and vitrified groups at the GV stage (5.02 and 5.06 × 1015 mol–1 s–1, respectively). The oxygen consumption rates of type 1 oocytes in fresh and vitrified groups at the MII stage tended to be higher than those of type 2 and 3 oocytes (type 1, 5.29 and 5.27; type 2, 4.99 and 4.52; type 3, 4.77 and 4.48 × 1015 mol–1 s–1, respectively). In addition, the percentage of type 1 oocytes in the fresh group was significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that in the vitrified group (59.4 and 34.3%, respectively). The matured oocytes also were stained with α-tubulin monoclonal antibody or F-phalloidin independently to examine the morphological status of microtubules or microfilament. The rates of oocytes with abnormal microtubules and microfilament in the vitrified group were 29.7 and 43.5%, respectively, showing higher rates compared with corresponding fresh oocytes (9.8%; P < 0.05 and 25.0%; P = 0.21, respectively). These results suggested that the reduction of quality and subsequent developmental competence in vitrified oocytes might be related to damages of mitochondria and cytoskeleton.

Abstract
A 30-year analysis of 128 patients with flexor tendon sheath ganglion was investigated. The majority of patients were females with sex ratio of 2.6 : 1. Most of the patients are in their third to fifth decade of life. Hand dominance, previous trauma as well as other illnesses involving the hand did not show any correlation to the formation of ganglion. The middle finger was most commonly affected and 69% of the ganglion were located on A1 and A2 pulley. Recurrence was high (89%) after multiple percutaneous puncture and treatment was successful with no cases of recurrence after surgical excision.

Abstract
The immune-modulating effect following intradermal injection of various-sized amorphous silica particles was analyzed in terms of induction of ovalbumin-specific CD8+ T cells in vivo. IFN-gamma ELISPOT assays revealed that only nanosilica particles with a diameter of less than 100 nm significantly enhanced CD8+ T cell responses against ovalbumin. These results indicate that the size of nanomaterials is a critical determinant in terms of their safe use.
