Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS Endocytoscopy enables observation at 450-fold magnification during gastrointestinal endoscopy, allowing on-site "optical biopsy." We compared the accuracies of endocytoscopy and standard biopsy for the diagnosis of colorectal neoplasms. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a randomized, controlled, open-label trial of patients with colorectal lesions (≥ 5 mm) detected during colonoscopy in a tertiary referral center. We randomly assigned the 203 detected lesions of 170 eligible patients to either the endocytoscopy or standard biopsy group. An on-site endoscopist assessed the histopathology of the endocytoscopy group lesions according to the endocytoscopic findings, whereas a pathologist later assessed standard biopsy group lesions by microscopic examination of the biopsy specimens. We calculated the diagnostic accuracies in both groups with reference to the final histopathology of the resected specimens. The primary endpoint was to determine whether the diagnostic accuracy of endocytoscopy for neoplastic lesions was noninferior to that of standard biopsy (with a predefined noninferiority margin of 10%). Analyses were by intention-to-treat and per-protocol. The study is registered, number UMIN000003923. RESULTS Overall, 102 lesions in the endocytoscopy group and 101 in the standard biopsy group were available for primary outcome analysis. There were no complications. The diagnostic accuracy of endocytoscopy for the discrimination of neoplastic lesions was 94.1% (95% confidence interval 87.6% to 97.8%), whereas that of standard biopsy was 96.0% (90.2% to 98.9%), which is within the noninferiority margin (absolute difference -1.9%, -8.6% to +5.0%). CONCLUSIONS Endocytoscopy is noninferior to standard biopsy for the discrimination of neoplastic lesions. With its advantage of providing an on-site diagnosis, endocytoscopy could provide a novel alternative to standard biopsy in routine colonoscopy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Little evidence showed the association between dietary patterns and cardiovascular disease among Japanese. The objective of this study was to examine whether dietary patterns are associated with cardiovascular disease among middle-aged Japanese. METHODS AND RESULTS At baseline (1988-1990), 26,598 men and 37,439 women aged 40-79 years enrolled in the Japan Collaborative Cohort (JACC) Study. During the follow-up through 2003, 578 men and 499 women died from stroke, and 272 men and 207 women died from coronary heart disease. We identified three major dietary patterns, 'vegetable', 'animal food' and 'dairy product', by factor analysis for both sexes. The multivariable hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals of mortality from total cardiovascular disease in the highest versus lowest quintiles of the vegetable pattern were 0.93 (0.78-1.13), p for trend=0.73 for men and 0.82 (0.67-1.00), p for trend=0.04 for women. The respective HRs of mortality from stroke in the highest versus lowest quintiles of the dairy product pattern were 0.65 (0.49-0.86), p for trend=0.01 for men and 0.70 (0.51-0.97), p for trend=0.02 for women, and those of total cardiovascular disease were 0.89 (0.74-1.08), p for trend=0.23 for men and 0.76 (0.61-0.94), p for trend=0.01 for women. The animal food pattern was not associated with mortality from stroke, coronary heart disease or total cardiovascular disease for either sex. CONCLUSION We found that 'vegetable' and 'dairy product' patterns were associated with lower morality from cardiovascular disease, while the 'animal food' pattern was not associated with mortality from cardiovascular disease among Japanese.

Abstract
Retinoic acid (RA) receptor (RAR) agonists are potential teratogens to various vertebrates. Their contamination has been detected in municipal wastewater in different countries. This study involved field investigations and laboratory batch treatment experiments to elucidate the removal characteristics by activated sludge treatment of RAs (all-trans RA and 13-cis RA) and 4-oxo-RAs (4-oxo-all-trans RA and 4-oxo-13-cis RA), which were identified as major RAR agonists in municipal wastewater. Results obtained in this study show that currently employed activated sludge treatments can remove RAs, 4-oxo-RAs and overall RAR agonist contamination effectively from municipal wastewater in general, although high RAR agonistic activity might sometimes remain in the effluent. Laboratory experiments revealed that RAs were removed rapidly from the aqueous phase by adsorption to the sludge, after which they were removed further by biological and/or chemical degradation. Aside from adsorption to the sludge, 4-oxo-RAs were also apparently removed by biological and chemical degradation. Biodegradation contributed greatly to the removal. Results of additional experiments indicated that novel non-identifiable RAR agonists can occur through the biodegradation of 4-oxo-RAs by activated sludge and that they can persist for a long period.

Abstract
A flock of commercial layer chicks in Hokkaido, Japan experienced mortality of 3.53% over the first 7 days of life. Affected chicks were depressed, anorexic and had diarrhoea. The striking pathological feature was dense colonization of epithelial surface of the duodenum by Enterococcus hirae. There was no obvious damage to the enterocytes associated with bacterial adherence. Enterococcus hirae organisms were isolated in large numbers from the small intestines, together with Escherichia coli.

Abstract
Changes in the hardness, dissolution, and the disintegration time of brand name and generic preparations (6 preparations) of famotidine orally disintegrating tablets were investigated. Tablets had been stored in a thermo-hygrostat-controlled environment set to simulate the home conditions of patients up to 8 weeks after unit-dose packaging. Among the tablets in unit-dose packaging prepared immediately after blister packs (BP) were opened, one generic had decreased hardness to less than 2.0 kg after 1 week, 55.1% of its initial hardness value, and a shorter disintegration time of about 1/5 of its initial disintegration time. Generics met the standard for dissolution 8 weeks after unit-dose packaging. The decrease in hardness after unit-dose packaging is presumed to be associated with additives, and particularly the types and amounts of binding agents, but evidence of this association was lacking. The hardness noted in drug interview forms (IFs) and the state of sales of bulk tablet packages must be determined to facilitate the selection of generics that remain hard even after unit-dose packaging.

Abstract
Neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD) is a serious complication of Behçet's disease. Generally, NBD patients with a chronic course are refractory to immunosuppressive treatment, resulting in the deterioration of personality. In this study, levels of B cell-activating factor belonging to the TNF family (BAFF) were measured in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 18 patients with NBD, 27 patients with epidemic aseptic meningitis (AM), 24 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and 34 healthy controls. BAFF levels in patients with NBD were significantly elevated compared with healthy controls, but showed no statistically significant elevation compared with either of the disease controls. In contrast, CSF IL-6 levels were slightly elevated in patients with NBD and significantly elevated in patients with AM and MS compared with healthy controls. Patients with NBD were subdivided into two groups according to their clinical course (eight patients with a slowly progressive course presenting with psychosis and dementia and 10 patients with an acute course including aseptic meningitis, brainstem involvement and myelopathy). BAFF levels were significantly increased in those with a slowly progressive course compared with those with an acute course. CSF BAFF levels did not correlate with serum BAFF levels, CSF cell counts or CSF IL-6 levels in patients with NBD. These data suggested that BAFF was produced within the central nervous system and may be associated with the development of NBD, particularly with a progressive course.

Abstract
Nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) is the most common form of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patients with NERD have a lower response rate to proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) than patients with erosive esophagitis when gauged from relief of heartburn. Sodium alginate decreases the acidity of refluxate and protects the esophageal mucosa. However, whether the addition of sodium alginate to PPI therapy can improve NERD symptoms remains unknown. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of adding sodium alginate to basal PPI therapy for NERD. Patients who had experienced heartburn on at least 2 days per week during the 1-month period before entering the study and had no endoscopic mucosal breaks (grade M or N according to Hoshihara's modification of the Los Angeles classification) were randomized to one of two treatments for 4 weeks: omeprazole (20 mg once daily) plus sodium alginate (30 mL four times a day) (group A) or omeprazole (20 mg once daily) alone (group B). Eighty-seven patients were enrolled, and 76 patients were randomly assigned to group A (n = 36) or group B (n = 40). Complete resolution of heartburn for at least 7 consecutive days by the end of treatment was significantly more common in group A (56.7%) than in group B (25.7%). One patient from group A had mild drug-related diarrhea that was not clinically serious. In conclusion, omeprazole combined with sodium alginate was better than omeprazole alone in Japanese patients with NERD.
