Abstract
Master transcription factors such as TP63 establish super-enhancers (SEs) to drive core transcriptional networks in cancer cells, yet the spatiotemporal regulation of SEs within the nucleus remains unknown. The nuclear pore complex (NPC) may tether SEs to the nuclear pore where RNA export rates are maximal. Here, we report that NUP153, a component of the NPC, anchors SEs to the NPC and enhances TP63 expression by maximizing mRNA export. This anchoring is mediated through protein-protein interaction between the intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of NUP153 and the coactivator BRD4. Silencing of NUP153 excludes SEs from the nuclear periphery, decreases TP63 expression, impairs cellular growth, and induces epidermal differentiation of squamous cell carcinoma. Overall, this work reveals the critical roles of NUP153 IDRs in the regulation of SE localization, thus providing insights into a new layer of gene regulation at the epigenomic and spatial level.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between oral frailty (OF), nutrient intake and calf circumference (CC) in middle-aged and older adults. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING Residents of four model districts of Shika town, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, using data from November 2017 to February 2018. PARTICIPANTS One hundred and ninety-four residents aged ≥50 years in four model districts of Shika town. The OF total score ≥3 was defined as OF. Participants were divided into OF and non-OF groups and divided into the low-CC/kg and the high-CC/kg groups. OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome is to use a two-way analysis of covariance to analyse the interaction between the two CC/kg groups and the two OF groups on nutrition intake. The secondary outcome is to use multiple regression analysis to investigate the nutrients significantly related to CC/kg when stratified by OF, with age, sex, body mass index, drinking status, smoking status and regular exercise as input covariates. RESULTS A two-way analysis of covariance revealed a significant interaction between the two CC/kg groups and the two OF groups on animal protein intake (p=0.039). Multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni analysis revealed a significantly lower animal protein intake in the OF group than in the non-OF group with a low CC/kg (p=0.033) but not in the group with a high CC/kg. The multiple regression analysis stratified by OF revealed a positive correlation between animal protein intake and CC/kg (p=0.002). CONCLUSIONS The present results revealed a significantly lower animal protein intake in the OF group than in the non-OF group in the low-CC/kg group, but no such difference was observed in the high-CC/kg group. Further longitudinal studies are needed to elucidate this relationship.

Abstract
Many questions remain regarding the genetics of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE), a subset of genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE). We aimed to identify the candidate coding variants of epilepsy panel genes in a cohort of affected individuals, using variant frequency information from a control cohort of the same region. We performed whole-exome sequencing analysis of 121 individuals and 10 affected relatives, focusing on variants of 950 candidate genes associated with epilepsy according to the Genes4Epilepsy curated panel. We identified 168 candidate variants (CVs) in 137 of 950 candidate genes in 88 of 121 affected individuals with IGE, of which 61 were novel variants. Notably, we identified five CVs in known GGE-associated genes (CHD2, GABRA1, RORB, SCN1A, and SCN1B) in five individuals and CVs shared by affected individuals in each of four family cases for other epilepsy candidate genes. The results of this study demonstrate that IGE is a disease with high heterogeneity and provide IGE-associated CVs whose pathogenicity should be proven by future studies, including advanced functional analysis. The low detection rate of CVs in the GGE-associated genes (4.1%) in this study suggests the current incompleteness of the Genes4Epilepsy panel for the diagnosis of IGE in clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pulmonary resection of metastases from gastric cancer is extremely rare because gastric cancer metastasis to the lungs or thoracic cavity occurs as multiple pulmonary metastases, carcinomatous lymphangitis, or carcinomatous pleurisy. Therefore, the significance of surgery for pulmonary metastasis of gastric cancer remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the surgical outcomes and prognostic factors for survival after the resection of pulmonary metastases from gastric cancer. METHODS From 2007 to 2019, 13 patients with pulmonary metastasis of gastric cancer underwent metastasectomy. Surgical outcomes were analyzed to determine the prognostic factors for recurrence and overall survival (OS). RESULTS All the patients underwent pulmonary resection for solitary metastases. At the median follow-up time of 45.6 months (range, 4.8-106.8 months), five patients experienced a recurrence of gastric cancer after metastasectomy. The 5-year recurrence-free survival rate was 44.4%, and the 5-year OS rate after pulmonary resection was 45.3%. Univariate analysis revealed that visceral pleural invasion (VPI) was an unfavorable prognostic factor for both recurrence-free and OS. CONCLUSION Pulmonary resection of solitary metastases from gastric cancer may be an effective therapeutic option to improve survival. VPI in gastric cancer metastasis is a negative prognostic factor.

Abstract
A germline chimera is a useful model for developing and differentiating germ cells in vivo. Gonadal germ cells (GGCs) collected from chicken embryonic gonads may be used to produce germline chimeras as donor cells. However, the migratory and proliferative abilities of GGCs after transfer into recipient embryos are unclear. Here, the migratory and proliferative abilities of GGCs collected from 7-day-old White Leghorn embryos and fluorescently labeled were analyzed following transfer into the dorsal aorta of 2.5-day-old Rhode Island Red (RIR) embryos. Five days after transfer, the numbers of male and female GGCs were significantly higher in the RIR gonads than those in non-gonadal RIR organs when 50 GGCs were transferred per embryo. To analyze the temporal migration of GGCs in intermediate mesoderm, 50 GGCs were again transferred. The numbers of male and female GGCs in RIR gonads increased significantly from days 3 to 6 after transfer. To analyze GGC migration and proliferation in the gonads, a single GGC was transferred into 100 male and 100 female embryos. Five days after transfer, the frequencies of settled and proliferated GGCs were 37% (37/100) and 24% (24/100) in males, and 23% (23/100) and 8% (8/100) in females, respectively. Thus, GGCs are a heterogeneous cell population that may or may not have migratory and proliferative abilities. The heterogeneity of GGCs may be greater in females than that in males. When 50 GGCs were transplanted, almost all those present in embryos had settled and proliferated in the gonads and mesonephros. The migratory and proliferative abilities of GGCs in recipient gonads were considerably diverse in individual GGCs or between donor sexes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We explored the relationship of dietary intake of fatty acids with chronic kidney disease (CKD) according to glycemic status in Japanese people. METHODS A total of 1031 participants aged ≥40 y were included in this population-based, cross-sectional study. A validated self-administered diet history questionnaire was used to measure the dietary intakes of fat and fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and diabetes as the use of antidiabetic medication, fasting plasma glucose ≥ 126 mg/dL, or hemoglobin A1c of ≥6.5%. Urine biomarkers of kidney injury (liver-type fatty acid-binding protein, β2-microglobulin, and albumin) were also examined. RESULTS The mean age of the participants was 62.5 ± 11.2 y, and 482 (46.8%) of them were men. Overall, 177 (17.2%) participants had CKD. In the multivariable model, low omega-3 intake (odds ratio = 0.109; 95% CI, 0.019-0.645) and high omega-6-to-omega-3 ratio (odds ratio = 2.112; 95% CI, 1.167-3.822) were associated with CKD in participants with diabetes but not in those without. In selected participants with diabetes, a substantial trend of urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein and β2-microglobulin level elevation along with an increase in the dietary ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 was observed. CONCLUSIONS Low dietary omega-3 intake and high omega-6-to-omega-3 ratio were associated with CKD in middle-aged and older Japanese people with diabetes but not in those without diabetes. These results may provide insight into the more tailored approaches for dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids to prevent CKD.

Abstract
Differentiation therapy has been proposed as a promising therapeutic strategy for acute myeloid leukemia (AML); thus, the development of more versatile methodologies that are applicable to a wide range of AML subtypes is desired. Although the FOXOs transcription factor represents a promising drug target for differentiation therapy, the efficacy of FOXO inhibitors is limited in vivo. Here, we show that pharmacological inhibition of a common cis-regulatory element of forkhead box O (FOXO) family members successfully induced cell differentiation in various AML cell lines. Through gene expression profiling and differentiation marker-based CRISPR/Cas9 screening, we identified TRIB1, a complement of the COP1 ubiquitin ligase complex, as a functional FOXO downstream gene maintaining an undifferentiated status. TRIB1 is direct target of FOXO3 and the FOXO-binding cis-regulatory element in the TRIB1 promoter, referred to as the FOXO-responsive element in the TRIB1 promoter (FRE-T), played a critical role in differentiation blockade. Thus, we designed a DNA-binding pharmacological inhibitor of the FOXO-FRE-T interface using pyrrole-imidazole polyamides (PIPs) that specifically bind to FRE-T (FRE-PIPs). The FRE-PIPs conjugated to chlorambucil (FRE-chb) inhibited transcription of TRIB1, causing differentiation in various AML cell lines. FRE-chb suppressed the formation of colonies derived from AML cell lines but not from normal counterparts. Administration of FRE-chb inhibited tumor progression in vivo without remarkable adverse effects. In conclusion, targeting cis-regulatory elements of the FOXO family is a promising therapeutic strategy that induces AML cell differentiation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of salvage surgeries after drug therapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has risen, mainly due to recent progress in molecular-targeted drugs and immune checkpoint inhibitors for NSCLC. While the safety and effectiveness of salvage surgery after drug therapy for NSCLC have been studied, its indications remain unclear. We aimed to identify the prognostic factors affecting survival in patients with advanced-stage (stages III-IV) NSCLC treated with salvage surgery after drug therapy. METHODS A retrospective investigation was conducted on patients who received salvage surgery after drug therapy at four hospitals between 2007 and 2020. Salvage surgery was defined as surgery after drug therapy for local progression, tumor conversion to resectable status, and discontinuation of prior drug therapy owing to serious complications. RESULTS Thirty-two patients received cytotoxic agents alone (n = 12 [38%]), tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs; n = 16 [50%]), or immune checkpoint inhibitors (n = 4 [13%]) as prior drug therapy. In 11 (34%) and 21 (66%) patients, the clinical stage before treatment was III or IV, respectively. The median initial and preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels were 10.2 (range, 0.5-1024) ng/mL and 4.2 (range, 0.6-92.5) ng/mL, respectively. Among the patients, 28 (88%) underwent lobectomy, 2 (6%) underwent segmentectomy, and 2 (6%) underwent wedge resection. Complete resection of the primary lesion was accomplished in 28 (88%) patients. Postoperative complications were documented in six (19%) patients. Mortality rates were 0% at 30 days and 3% at 90 days post-operation. The 5-year overall survival rate stood at 66%, while the 5-year progression-free survival rate was 21%. Multivariate analyses showed that prior TKI therapy and preoperative serum CEA level < 5 ng/mL were prognostic factors influencing overall survival (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.06 [0.006-0.68] and 0.03 [0.002-0.41], respectively). The 5-year overall survival in the 11 patients with both favorable prognosticators was 100%. CONCLUSIONS In this study, prior TKI therapy and preoperative serum CEA level < 5 ng/mL were favorable prognostic factors for overall survival in patients with NSCLC treated with salvage surgery. Patients with these prognostic factors are considered good candidates for salvage surgery after drug therapy.

Abstract
We studied the pathophysiology of aplastic anaemia (AA) in six different pairs of relatives without a family history of hematologic disorders or congenital AA. Five and four of the six pairs shared the HLA-DRB1*15:01 and B*40:02 alleles, respectively. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein-deficient blood cells were detected in eight of the 10 patients evaluated. In a mother-daughter pair from one family, flow cytometry detected leukocytes lacking HLA-A2 due to loss of heterogeneity in chromosome 6p. Whole-exome sequencing of the family pair revealed a missense mutation in MYSM1. These results suggest that genetic inheritance of immune traits might underlie familial AA in some patients.

Abstract
Association rule is a transparent machine learning method expected to share information about risks for chronic kidney disease (CKD) among diabetic patients, but its findings in clinical data are limited. We used the association rule to evaluate the risk for kidney disease in General and Worker diabetic cohorts. The absence of risk factors was examined for association with stable kidney function and worsening kidney function. A confidence value was used as an index of association, and a lift of > 1 was considered significant. Analyses were applied for individuals stratified by KDIGO's (Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes) CKD risk categories. A General cohort of 4935 with a mean age of 66.7 years and a Worker cohort of 2153 with a mean age of 47.8 years were included in the analysis. Good glycemic control was significantly related to stable kidney function in low-risk categories among the General cohort, and in very-high risk categories among the Worker cohort; confidences were 0.82 and 0.77, respectively. Similar results were found with poor glycemic control and worsening kidney function; confidences of HbA1c were 0.41 and 0.27, respectively. Similarly, anemia, obesity, and hypertension showed significant relationships in the low-risk General and very-high risk Worker cohorts. Stratified risk assessment using association rules revealed the importance of the presence or absence of risk factors.

Abstract
To meet the strong quantitative demands for poultry products with high sanitary standards soon after World War II, the Japanese poultry industry experienced a rapid expansion period. However, it should be remembered that the post-war flourishment of the Japanese poultry industry was built on a solid academic and educational platform that took several pre-war decades to construct. In addition, poultry play a special cultural role in Japanese society. In this review, poultry in Japan is illustrated from the following three historical viewpoints: 1) development of the Japanese poultry industry; 2) academic and educational contributions to the poultry industry in Japan; and 3) ritualistic, mythic, and artistic attributes of poultry that are deeply embedded in Japanese society.

Abstract
Social behavior is essential for health, survival, and reproduction of animals; however, the role of astrocytes in social behavior remains largely unknown. The transmembrane protein CD38, which acts both as a receptor and ADP-ribosyl cyclase to produce cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) regulates social behaviors by promoting oxytocin release from hypothalamic neurons. CD38 is also abundantly expressed in astrocytes in the postnatal brain and is important for astroglial development. Here, we demonstrate that the astroglial-expressed CD38 plays an important role in social behavior during development. Selective deletion of CD38 in postnatal astrocytes, but not in adult astrocytes, impairs social memory without any other behavioral abnormalities. Morphological analysis shows that depletion of astroglial CD38 in the postnatal brain interferes with synapse formation in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus. Moreover, astroglial CD38 expression promotes synaptogenesis of excitatory neurons by increasing the level of extracellular SPARCL1 (also known as Hevin), a synaptogenic protein. The release of SPARCL1 from astrocytes is regulated by CD38/cADPR/calcium signaling. These data demonstrate a novel developmental role of astrocytes in neural circuit formation and regulation of social behavior in adults.

Abstract
Genetic testing for inherited arrhythmias and discriminating pathogenic or benign variants from variants of unknown significance (VUS) is essential for gene-based medicine. KCNQ1 is a causative gene of type 1 long QT syndrome (LQTS), and approximately 30% of the variants found in type 1 LQTS are classified as VUS. We studied the role of zebrafish cardiac arrhythmia model in determining the clinical significance of KCNQ1 variants. We generated homozygous kcnq1 deletion zebrafish (kcnq1del/del) using the CRISPR/Cas9 and expressed human Kv7.1/MinK channels in kcnq1del/del embryos. We dissected the hearts from the thorax at 48 h post-fertilization and measured the transmembrane potential of the ventricle in the zebrafish heart. Action potential duration was calculated as the time interval between peak maximum upstroke velocity and 90% repolarization (APD90). The APD90 of kcnq1del/del embryos was 280 ± 47 ms, which was significantly shortened by injecting KCNQ1 wild-type (WT) cRNA and KCNE1 cRNA (168 ± 26 ms, P < 0.01 vs. kcnq1del/del). A study of two pathogenic variants (S277L and T587M) and one VUS (R451Q) associated with clinically definite LQTS showed that the APD90 of kcnq1del/del embryos with these mutant Kv7.1/MinK channels was significantly longer than that of Kv7.1 WT/MinK channels. Given the functional results of the zebrafish model, R451Q could be reevaluated physiologically from VUS to likely pathogenic. In conclusion, functional analysis using in vivo zebrafish cardiac arrhythmia model can be useful for determining the pathogenicity of loss-of-function variants in patients with LQTS.

Abstract
Although nutrient intake and alcohol consumption are both closely associated with the incidence of diabetes, their interrelationships remain unclear. Therefore, we herein have investigated the interrelationships among nutrient intake, alcohol consumption, and the incidence of diabetes using longitudinal data. This study included 969 residents ≥40 years living in Japan. In 2011 and 2012, a baseline study was conducted using questionnaires on basic demographics, diabetes, nutrient intake, and lifestyle habits. In 2018 and 2019, a follow-up study was performed using questionnaires and medical records on diabetes. Two-way analysis of covariance (two-way ANCOVA) was used to test the interactions of drinking habits and diabetes incidence on nutrients intake. The prospective relationship between nutrient intake at baseline and the incidence of diabetes in the follow-up stratified by drinkers and non-drinkers was evaluated using multiple logistic regression analysis. Interactions were observed for vegetable protein intake (p = 0.023) and animal fat intake (p = 0.016) in males. Vegetable protein intake negatively correlated with the incidence of diabetes in non-drinkers (odds ratio (OR): 0.208; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.046-0.935; p = 0.041). Furthermore, animal fat intake positively correlated with the incidence of diabetes in non-drinkers (OR: 1.625; 95% CI: 1.020-2.589; p = 0.041). Therefore, vegetable protein and animal fat intakes in combination with drinking habits need to be considered for the prevention of diabetes.

Abstract
The association between oral frailty (OFr) and body action has been investigated, but its association with systemic function remains unclear. Therefore, this cross-sectional study examined the association between OFr with decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and renal function in residents of Shika town, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan aged ≥40 years. This study included 400 inhabitants. The OFr total score was assessed using three oral domains in the Kihon Checklist (a self-reported comprehensive health checklist), the number of teeth, and brushing frequency per day. Measurements were the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the osteo-sono assessment index (OSI). Using a two-way analysis of covariance (p = 0.002), significantly lower OSI was indicated in the eGFR < 60 and OFr group than in the eGFR of < 60 and non-OFr group after adjusting for age, body mass index, and drinking and smoking status as confounding factors. Multiple logistic regression analysis confirmed this relationship (p = 0.006). Therefore, lower BMD seems to be associated with lower renal function only when accompanied by OFr. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Amylase activity and levels in humans are heritable quantitative traits. Although many studies exist on the effects of copy-number variants (CNVs) in amylase genes (AMY) on human phenotypes, such as body mass index (BMI), the genetic factors controlling interindividual variation in amylase levels remain poorly understood. Here, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of serum amylase levels (SAL) in 814 Japanese individuals to identify associated single-nucleotide variants (SNVs), after adjusting for non-genetic factors. Diploid copy numbers (CN) of AMY (AMY1, AMY2A, and AMY2B) were measured using droplet digital PCR to examine the association between each diploid CN and SAL. We further assessed the relative contribution of the GWAS-lead SNV and AMY CNVs to SAL. GWAS identified 14 significant SNVs (p < 5 × 10-8) within a linkage disequilibrium block near the AMY cluster on chromosome 1. The association analyses of AMY CNVs and SAL showed a significant association between AMY1 diploid CN and SAL (p = 1.89 × 10-19), while no significant association with SAL was found for AMY2A CN (p = 0.54) or AMY2B CN (p = 0.15). In a joint association analysis with SAL using the GWAS-lead SNV and AMY1 diploid CN, AMY1 CN remained significant (p = 5.4 ×10-13), while the association of the lead SNV was marginal (p = 0.08). We also found no association between AMY1 diploid CN and BMI (p = 0.14). Our results indicate that AMY1 CNV is the major genetic factor for Japanese SAL, with no significant association with BMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV15 or V114) has recently been approved for pediatric vaccination against pneumococcal diseases (PDs) in Japan. The study aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of pediatric vaccination with V114 versus 13-valent PCV (PCV13) in Japan. METHODS The study used a decision analytical Markov model to estimate the cost and effectiveness outcomes for a birth cohort in Japan over a 10-year time horizon. The model tracked the occurrences of acute PD events, including invasive PD (IPD), non-bacteremic pneumococcal pneumonia (NBPP) and pneumococcal acute otitis media (AOM) and the long-term impact of post-meningitis sequalae. Vaccine effectiveness was estimated based on literature and assumptions, and accounted for indirect effects and vaccine waning. The base case took the societal perspective, including both direct and indirect costs, while a healthcare payer perspective was modeled in a scenario analysis. Additional scenario analyses and sensitivity analyses were conducted. RESULTS In the base case, V114 was associated with an incremental gain of 24 quality-adjusted life years and a reduction of ¥365,610,955 in total costs compared to PCV13. It was expected to reduce the number of pneumococcal AOM, NBPP, and IPD cases by 1,832, 1,333 and 25, respectively. All scenario analyses and most sensitivity analyses showed that V114 was a dominant strategy compared to PCV13. CONCLUSIONS Pediatric vaccination with V114 is expected to lead to cost savings and more health benefits compared to PCV13 in Japan from both societal and healthcare payer perspectives. The findings are robust under plausible assumptions and inputs.

Abstract
The relationship between calcium intake and bone strength in older Asian individuals, including Japanese, is controversial; therefore, we herein investigated this relationship in older Japanese populations. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 314 participants older than 65 years who voluntarily participated in a medical examination and responded to questionnaires. The osteo-sono assessment index (OSI) measured at the right calcaneus using a quantitative ultrasonic device was used as an indicator of bone strength. The daily dietary intake of calcium was assessed using a brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire. A two-way analysis of covariance revealed a significant interaction between sex and calcium intake on the OSI (p < 0.01). A multiple regression analysis showed a positive correlation between calcium intake and the OSI in males (p < 0.01), but not females (p = 0.27). In females, grip strength divided by body weight positively correlated with the OSI (p = 0.04). The present results suggest that a higher calcium intake contributes to bone strength in older Japanese males. Although a higher grip strength may contribute to bone strength in females, the potential of estrogen as a confounding factor needs to be considered.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To present longitudinal data from the Real-world Observational Study on Patient Outcomes in Diabetes (RESPOND) in Japan. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In this multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) newly initiated on monotherapy were followed up for 2 years. Primary outcomes included changes in treatment pattern over time, target hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) attainment and treatment satisfaction per Oral Hypoglycaemic Agent Questionnaire (OHA-Q). RESULTS Among 1474 enrolled patients (male, 62.1%; mean age, 59.7 years; HbA1c, 8.08%), the oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) monotherapy prescription rate decreased to 47.2% and that of 2 and ≥3 OADs increased to 14.8% and 5.4% at 24 months, respectively. Switch/add-on OAD was associated with higher HbA1c and body mass index (BMI), baseline OAD being non-dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i)/non-sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), diabetes complications, no comorbidities and consulting a diabetes specialist. The mean (SD) HbA1c (%) was 6.73 (0.85) at 24 months. Higher HbA1c, diabetes complications, cardiovascular disease, being employed, no hypertension and younger treating physician were associated with ≥2 OAD classes prescription or target HbA1c non-attainment at 24 months. OHA-Q subscale scores were significantly higher in patients achieving (vs not achieving) target HbA1c and in those continuing monotherapy (vs combination therapy). Baseline age (<65 years), sex (female), HbA1c, alcohol use, use of non-DPP-4i OADs or non-T2DM drugs, diabetes complications and cardiovascular disease had a significant negative impact, while EuroQol five-dimensional five-level and Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities-specific diet scores, BMI and unemployment had a significant positive impact on OHA-Q scores at 24 months. CONCLUSIONS Primary outcomes show real-world treatment patterns and glycemic control over 2 years in patients with T2DM newly initiated on OAD monotherapy in Japan. Key factors associated with durability of initial monotherapy, target achievement or treatment satisfaction included baseline HbA1c, comorbidity and initial OAD choice.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies reported that resilience, generally regarded as the ability to manage stress in the face of adversity, correlates with mental health in middle-aged and older adults. Currently, there is limited information on eating habits that affect resilience. Therefore, this cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between vitamin intake and resilience based on sex in community-dwelling middle-aged and older individuals in Shika town, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. A total of 221 participants (106 men and 115 women) aged 40 years or older were included in the analysis. We assessed vitamin intake and resilience using a brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ) and the resilience scale (RS), respectively. A two-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) revealed that higher intakes of β-carotene and vitamin K were associated with higher RS in women, but not in men. Furthermore, a multiple logistic regression analysis stratified by sex showed that β-carotene and vitamin K were significant independent variables for RS only in women. The present study suggests that higher intakes of β-carotene and vitamin K were associated with higher resilience among middle-aged and older women. The results obtained demonstrate that β-carotene and vitamin K intakes may enhance resilience by strengthening stress tolerance.

Abstract
The number of endangered avian-related species increase in Japan recently. The application of new technologies, such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), may contribute to the recovery of the decreasing numbers of endangered animals and conservation of genetic resources. We established novel iPSCs from three endangered avian species (Okinawa rail, Japanese ptarmigan, and Blakiston’s fish owl) with seven reprogramming factors (M3O, Sox2, Klf4, c-Myc, Nanog, Lin28, and Klf2). The iPSCs are pluripotency markers and express pluripotency-related genes and differentiated into three germ layers in vivo and in vitro. These three endangered avian iPSCs displayed different cellular characteristics even though the same reprogramming factors use. Japanese ptarmigan-derived iPSCs have different biological characteristics from those observed in other avian-derived iPSCs. Japanese ptarmigan iPSCs contributed to chimeras part in chicken embryos. To the best of our knowledge, our findings provide the first evidence of the potential value of iPSCs as a resource for endangered avian species conservation. iPSCs from three endangered avian species (including Okinawa rail, Japanese ptarmigan, and Blakiston’s fish owl) are developed and characterized as a potential resource for their conservation.

Abstract
Astrocytes play key roles in supporting the central nervous system structure, regulating synaptic functions, and maintaining brain homeostasis. The number of astrocytes in the cerebrum has markedly increased through evolution. However, the manner by which astrocytes change their features during evolution remains unknown. Compared with the rodent brain, the brain of the ferret, a carnivorous animal, has a folded cerebral cortex and higher white to gray matter ratio, which are common features of the human brain. To further clarify the features of ferret astrocytes, we isolated astrocytes from ferret neonatal brains, cultured these cells, and compared their morphology, gene expression, calcium response, and proliferating ability with those of mouse astrocytes. The morphology of cultured ferret astrocytes differed from that of mouse astrocytes. Ferret astrocytes had longer and more branched processes, smaller cell bodies, and different calcium responses to glutamate, as well as had a greater ability to proliferate, compared to mouse astrocytes. RNA sequencing analysis revealed novel ferret astrocyte-specific genes, including several genes that were the same as those in humans. Astrocytes in the ferret brains had larger cell size, longer primary processes in larger numbers, and a higher proliferation rate compared to mouse astrocytes. Our study shows that cultured ferret astrocytes have different features from rodent astrocytes and similar features to human astrocytes, suggesting that they are useful in studying the roles of astrocytes in brain evolution and cognitive functions in higher animals.

Elevated ratio of serum anandamide to arachidonic acid intake in community-dwelling women with high depressive symptoms. Neuro Endocrinol Lett 2022; 43:145-153.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of the present study was to investigate the serum levels of endocannabinoids (eCBs; anandamide: AEA and 2-arachidonoylglycerol: 2-AG) and daily intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs; arachidonic acid: ARA, docosahexaenoic acid: DHA, and eicosapentaenoic acid: EPA) among subjects with high and low depressive symptoms. METHODS The participants comprised female community-dwellers aged 40 years or older in Japan. Among 208 females, fourteen participants with high depressive symptoms and ten participants with low depressive symptoms were selected for this study. The depressive symptoms were measured by the Japanese version of the Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). The daily intake of PUFAs were assessed utilising the brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire. The blood samples were analysed for AEA, 2-AG, and the CB receptor 1 gene (CNR1) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs806377. RESULTS The ratio of AEA serum level to ARA intake (AEA/ARA) in high depressive participants was significantly higher compared with those in low depressive participants even after controlling for confounders, whereas there were no significant differences in the serum concentrations of eCBs, daily intake of PUFAs, as well as the CNR1 SNP (rs806377) between the high and low CES-D scored groups. CONCLUSION The elevated level of AEA/ARA among high depressive participants suggests that the conversion rate of ARA to AEA may be accelerated in depressive individuals.

Abstract
Polygenic susceptibility likely influences individual responses to air pollutants and the risk of asthma. We compared the role of polygenic susceptibility on air pollution-associated asthma between German and Japanese women. We investigated women that were enrolled in the German SALIA cohort (n = 771, mean age = 73 years) and the Japanese Shika cohort (n = 847, mean age = 67 years) with known asthma status. Adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between (1) particulate matter with a median aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5μm (PM2.5) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), (2) polygenic risk scores (PRS), and (3) gene-environment interactions (G × E) with asthma. We found an increased risk of asthma in Japanese women after exposure to low pollutant levels (PM2.5: median = 12.7µg/m3, p-value < 0.001, NO2: median = 8.5µg/m3, p-value < 0.001) and in German women protective polygenic effects (p-value = 0.008). While we found no significant G × E effects, the direction in both groups was that the PRS increased the effect of PM2.5 and decreased the effect of NO2 on asthma. Our study confirms that exposure to low air pollution levels increases the risk of asthma in Japanese women and indicates polygenic effects in German women; however, there was no evidence of G × E effects. Future genome-wide G × E studies should further explore the role of ethnic-specific polygenic susceptibility to asthma.

Abstract
Cowden syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by multiple hamartomas in various tissues, including the skin, mucous membranes, and gastrointestinal tract. Germline mutations of the PTEN tumor suppressor gene are responsible for Cowden syndrome. Cowden syndrome is associated with an increased risk of breast, thyroid, renal and uterine cancers; however, ovarian cancer rarely develops in women with Cowden syndrome, although somatic PTEN mutation often occurs in some types of ovarian carcinomas. Herein we report the first case of ovarian carcinosarcoma that developed in a woman with Cowden syndrome. A 55-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer, thyroid goiter, and palatal papillomatosis presented with pelvic distention. CT scan revealed a pelvic tumor suggesting ovarian cancer. She underwent a total abdominal hysterectomy, a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, and an omentectomy, but the surgical cytoreduction was suboptima( l >2 cm residual disease). Pathological examination showed a mixed tumor composed of high-grade carcinoma and heterologous sarcoma. Immunohistochemically, tumor cells were positive for p53. She was diagnosed with stage ⅢC ovarian carcinosarcoma. Genetic testing detected a PTEN variant, confirming the diagnosis of Cowden syndrome. She received paclitaxel/ carboplatin chemotherapy. However, no response was observed and she died of disease 2 months postoperatively.

Abstract
T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is an aggressive malignancy of immature T lymphocytes. Although various therapeutic approaches have been developed, refractoriness of chemotherapy and relapse cause a poor prognosis of the disease and further therapeutic strategies are required. Here, we report that Ras homolog enriched in brain (RHEB), a critical regulator of mTOR complex 1 activity, is a potential target for T-ALL therapy. In this study, we established an sgRNA library that comprehensively targeted mTOR upstream and downstream pathways, including autophagy. CRISPR/Cas9 dropout screening revealed critical roles of mTOR-related molecules in T-ALL cell survival. Among the regulators, we focused on RHEB because we previously found that it is dispensable for normal hematopoiesis in mice. Transcriptome and metabolic analyses revealed that RHEB deficiency suppressed de novo nucleotide biosynthesis, leading to human T-ALL cell death. Importantly, RHEB deficiency suppressed tumor growth in both mouse and xenograft models. Our data provide a potential strategy for efficient therapy of T-ALL by RHEB-specific inhibition.

Abstract
Despite a close relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and uric acid level, few studies have examined the relationship between uric acid level and fat intake by kidney function status. Therefore, we investigated the association between dietary fat intake and hyperuricemia with and without decreased kidney function in males living in Shika Town, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. This study included 361 males with a mean age of 60.7 years. Dietary fat and fatty acid intakes were evaluated using the brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire. Reduced kidney function was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, while hyperuricemia was defined as a serum uric acid level >7.0 mg/dL. A two-way analysis of covariance showed that saturated fatty acid (p = 0.026), monounsaturated fatty acid (p = 0.014), and polyunsaturated fatty acid (p = 0.022) were significantly lower in the high uric acid group than in the normal uric acid group. In multiple logistic analysis stratified by renal function, lipid intake was negatively associated with hyperuricemia in the low eGFR group. These findings suggest that higher dietary lipid/fatty acid intake may be effective in the prevention and treatment of hyperuricemia in men with CKD.

Abstract
Although chronic pain (CP) is classified as inflammatory or non-inflammatory, the involvement of fatty acid intake in this process has not yet been examined in detail. Therefore, the present study investigated whether the relationship between CP and fatty acid intake differs between high and low C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in middle-aged and elderly individuals in the Shika study. One-thousand and seven males and 1216 females with mean ages of 68⋅78 and 69⋅65 years, respectively, participated in the present study. CRP was quantified by blood sampling from participants who responded to a CP questionnaire. The brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire (BDHQ) was used to assess fatty acid intake. Interactions were observed between CP and CRP on monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and eicosadienoic acid in a two-way analysis of covariance adjusted for sex, age, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, current smoking and drinking status, and BMI. MUFA (OR 1⋅359) and eicosadienoic acid (OR 1⋅072) were identified as significant independent variables for CP in a multiple logistic regression analysis, but only in the low CRP group. Only a high intake of MUFA and eicosadienoic acid was associated with chronic neck/shoulder/upper limb pain without elevated CRP. In psychogenic and neuropathic pain without elevated CRP, an increased intake of MUFA and eicosadienoic acid, a family member of n -6 fatty acids, appears to affect CP. Further longitudinal studies are needed to elucidate this relationship.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate if the pretreatment dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI)-based radiomics machine learning predicts the pathological complete response (pCR) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer patients. METHODS Seventy-eight breast cancer patients who underwent DCE-MRI before NAC and confirmed as pCR or non-pCR were enrolled. Early enhancement mapping images of pretreatment DCE-MRI were created using subtraction formula as follows: Early enhancement mapping = (Signal 1 min - Signal pre)/Signal pre. Images of the whole tumors were manually segmented and radiomics features extracted. Five prediction models were built using five scenarios that included clinical information, subjective radiological findings, first order texture features, second order texture features, and their combinations. In texture analysis workflow, the corresponding variables were identified by mutual information for feature selection and random forest was used for model prediction. In five models, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) to predict the pCR and several metrics for model evaluation were analyzed. RESULTS The best diagnostic performance based on F-score was achieved when both first and second order texture features with clinical information and subjective radiological findings were used (AUC = 0.77). The second best diagnostic performance was achieved with an AUC of 0.76 for first order texture features followed by an AUC of 0.76 for first and second order texture features. CONCLUSIONS Pretreatment DCE-MRI can improve the prediction of pCR in breast cancer patients when all texture features with clinical information and subjective radiological findings are input to build the prediction model.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have been advised to take vitamins; however, the effects have been controversial. The individual differences in developing CKD might involve genetic variants of inflammation, including variant rs883484 located upstream of the prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 (PTGS1) gene. We aimed to identify whether the 12 dietary vitamin intake interacts with genotypes of the rs883484 on developing CKD. The population-based, cross-sectional study had 684 Japanese participants (≥40 years old). The study used a validated, brief, self-administered diet history questionnaire to estimate the intake of the dietary vitamins. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. The study participants had an average age of 62.1 ± 10.8 years with 15.4% minor homozygotes of rs883484, and 114 subjects had CKD. In the fully adjusted model, the higher intake of vitamins, namely niacin (odds ratio (OR) = 0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.57−0.96, p = 0.024), α-tocopherol (OR = 0.49, 95% CI: 0.26−0.95, p = 0.034), and vitamin C (OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95−1.00, p = 0.037), was independently associated with lower CKD tendency in the minor homozygotes of rs883484. The results suggested the importance of dietary vitamin intake in the prevention of CKD in middle-aged to older-aged Japanese with minor homozygous of rs883484 gene variant.

Abstract
Background Previous studies examined the association between chronic pain (CP) and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations; however, the findings obtained were inconsistent. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) associated with the transcriptional activity of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene may influence the association of 25(OH)D levels with CP. We aimed to clarify the association between CP, serum 25(OH)D concentration, and SNPs. Methods In the Shika study, we performed a cross-sectional analysis of 551 participants older than 40 years who were asked whether they had been having persistent pain lasting for at least 3 months in any part of the body on a self-administered questionnaire. Serum 25(OH)D concentrations were assessed as a biomarker of the vitamin D status using a radioimmunoassay. rs731236, rs7975232, rs1544410, rs2228570, and rs11568820 were identified using peripheral blood samples, and participants were assigned to those with or without the minor allele for each SNP. Results The prevalence of CP was 37.2%. We observed a tendency for lower 25(OH)D levels in participants with CP than in those without CP in the hetero/minor group of rs11568820, which is a polymorphism within the CDX2-binding site in the 1e promoter region of the VDR gene. Furthermore, a logistic regression analysis revealed that lower serum 25(OH)D concentrations were significantly associated with CP in the hetero/minor group, but not in the major group. Conclusion These results suggest that sufficient serum 25(OH)D concentration reduces the risk of CP in individuals with the minor allele of the CDX2 polymorphism.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify susceptibility genes for macular neovascularization (MNV) development in central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). DESIGN Genome-wide survival analysis using a longitudinal cohort study. PARTICIPANTS We included 402 and 137 patients with CSC but without MNV at their first visit from the Kyoto CSC Cohort and Kobe CSC dataset, respectively. All patients underwent detailed ophthalmologic examinations, including multimodal imaging, such as fundus autofluorescence, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography, and fluorescein angiography/indocyanine green angiography and/or optimal coherence tomography angiography. METHODS We conducted a genome-wide survival analysis using the Kyoto CSC Cohort. We applied the Cox proportional hazard model to adjust for age, sex, and the first principal component. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with P-values <1.0×10-5 were carried forward to the replication in the Kobe CSC dataset. Moreover, we evaluated the contribution of previously-reported age-related macular degeneration (AMD) susceptibility loci. We used FUMA and ToppFun for the functional enrichment analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The association between SNPs and MNV development in patients with CSC. RESULTS Rs370974631 near ARMS2 displayed a genome-wide significant association in the meta-analysis of discovery and replication result (hazard ratio [HR]meta = 3.63; Pmeta = 5.76×10-9). Among previously-reported AMD susceptibility loci, we additionally identified CFH rs800292 (HR = 0.39, P = 2.55×10-4), COL4A3 rs4276018 (HR = 0.26, P = 1.56×10-3), and B3GALTL rs9564692 (HR = 0.56, P = 8.30×10-3) as susceptibility loci for MNV development in CSC. The functional enrichment analysis revealed significant enrichment of eight pathways (GO:0051561, GO:0036444, GO:0008282, GO:1990246, GO:0015272, GO:0030955, GO:0031420, and GO:0005242) related to ion transport. CONCLUSIONS ARMS2, CFH, COL4A3, and B3GALTL were identified as susceptibility genes for MNV development in CSC. The aforementioned four genes are known as susceptibility genes for AMD, whereas COL4A3 and B3GALTL were previously reported to be polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV)-specific susceptibility genes. Our findings revealed the shared genetic susceptibility between PCV and MNV secondary to CSC.

Abstract
Glucokinase has an important role in regulating glycolysis as a glucose sensor in liver and pancreatic β cells. Glucokinase-maturity onset diabetes in young (GCK-MODY also known as MODY2) is caused by autosomal dominant gene mutation of the GCK gene; it is characterized by mild fasting hyperglycemia and small 2-h glucose increment during 75 g-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) as well as near-normal postprandial glucose variabilities. A 10-year-old girl with family history of diabetes visited her physician after being found positive for urinary glucose by school medical checkup. She received a diagnosis of diabetes based on the laboratory data: 75 g-OGTT (mild fasting hyperglycemia and small 2-h glucose increment) and factory-calibrated glucose monitoring (mild elevation of average glucose level and near-normal glycemic variability), which raised suspicion of GCK-MODY. She was then referred to our institution for genetic examination, which revealed a GCK heterozygous mutation (NM_000162: exon10: c.1324G>T: p.E442X) in the proband as well as in her mother and maternal grandmother, who had been receiving anti-diabetes medications without knowing that they had GCK-MODY specifically. GCK-MODY cases show incidence of microvascular and macrovascular diseases similar to that of normal subjects, and their glucose levels are adequately controlled without anti-diabetes drug use. Thus, early and definitive diagnosis of MODY2 by genetic testing is important to avoid unnecessary medication.

Abstract
Objectives The β3‐adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) gene polymorphism has been implicated in obesity. Therefore, the contribution of ADRB3 Trp64Arg polymorphism to obesity‐related indicators was investigated, taking into account the lifestyle‐related factors in a Japanese rural population. Methods A total of 600 Japanese adults aged ≥40 years in a population‐based cohort study were analyzed. The ADRB3 polymorphism was determined using peripheral blood samples. Associations between genotype and body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and body fat (BF) percentage were examined, adjusting for lifestyle‐related factors, including daily nutrient intake. Results The frequency of Arg64 allele carriers was 36%. There was no significant difference in BMI, WC, or BF between the groups with or without the Trp64Arg polymorphism. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that the Trp64Arg polymorphism was not associated with these three indicators, but lifestyle factors including physical inactivity, higher energy and sodium consumption, and less animal protein intake were significantly related to increased WC and BF percentages. Conclusions The Trp64Arg polymorphism of ADRB3 gene did not contribute to increased BMI, WC, or BF. However, lifestyle‐related factors impacted these indicators in middle‐aged and older Japanese individuals living in rural areas.

Abstract
Tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) inhibitors have demonstrated histology-agnostic efficacy in patients with neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinase (NTRK) gene fusion. Although responses to TRK inhibitors can be dramatic and durable, duration of response may eventually be limited by acquired resistance via several mechanisms, including resistance mutations such as NTRK1-G595R. Repotrectinib is a second-generation TRK inhibitor, which is active against NTRK1-G595R. However, its efficacy against entrectinib-resistant tumors has not been fully elucidated. In the present study, we established entrectinib-resistant tumor cells (M3B) in a brain metastasis model inoculated with NTRK1-rearranged KM12SM cells, and examined the sensitivity of M3B cells to repotrectinib. While M3B cells harbored the NTRK1-G595R mutation, they were unexpectedly resistant to repotrectinib. The resistance was due to extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) reactivation partially mediated by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) activation. We further demonstrate that the triplet combination of repotrectinib, EGFR inhibitor, and MEK inhibitor could sensitize M3B cells in vitro as well as in a brain metastasis model. These results indicate that resistant mutations, such as NTRK1-G595R, and alternative pathway activation, such as ERK activation, could simultaneously occur in entrectinib-resistant tumors, thereby causing resistance to second-generation inhibitor repotrectinib. These findings highlight the importance of intensive examinations to identify resistance mechanisms and application of the appropriate combination treatment to circumvent the resistance.

Abstract
We describe a postmortem case of familial idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (FIBGC) in a 72-year-old Japanese man. The patient showed progressive cognitive impairment with a seven-year clinical course and calcification of the basal ganglia, thalami, and cerebellar dentate nuclei. A novel heterozygous missense variant in SLC20A2 (c.920C>T/p.P307L), a type III sodium-dependent phosphate transporter (PiT-2), was subsequently identified, in addition to typical neuropathological findings of FIBGC, such as capillary calcification of the occipital gray matter, confluent calcification of the basal ganglia and cerebellar white matter, widespread occurrence of vasculopathic changes, cerebrovascular lesions, and vascular smooth muscle cell depletion. Immunohistochemistry for PiT-2 protein revealed no apparent staining in endothelial cells in the basal ganglia and insular cortex; however, the immunoreactivity in endothelial cells of the cerebellum was preserved. Moreover, Western blot analysis identified preserved PiT-2 immunoreactivity signals in the frontal cortex and cerebellum. The variant identified in the present patient could be associated with development of FIBGC and is known to be located at the large intracytoplasmic part of the PiT-2 protein, which has potential phosphorylation sites with importance in the regulation of inorganic phosphate transport activity. The present case is an important example to prove that FIGBC could stem from a missense variant in the large intracytoplasmic loop of the PiT-2 protein. Abnormal clearance of inorganic phosphate in the brain could be related to the development of vascular smooth muscle damage, the formation of cerebrovascular lesions, and subsequent brain calcification in patients with FIBGC with SLC20A2 variants.

Abstract
The development and evolution of mammalian higher cognition are represented by gyrification of the laminar cerebral cortex and astrocyte development, but their mechanisms and interrelationships remain unknown. Here, we show that localized astrogenesis plays an important role in gyri formation in the gyrencephalic cerebral cortex. In functional genetic experiments, we show that reducing astrocyte number prevents gyri formation in the ferret cortex, while increasing astrocyte number in mice, which do not have cortical folds, can induce gyrus-like protrusions. Morphometric analyses demonstrate that the vertical expansion of deep pallial regions achieved by localized astrogenesis is crucial for gyri formation. Furthermore, our findings suggest that localized astrogenesis by a positive feedback loop of FGF signaling is an important mechanism underlying cortical folding in gyrencephalic mammalian brains. Our findings reveal both the cellular mechanisms and the mechanical principle of gyrification in the mammalian brain.

Abstract
The killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) recognizes human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecules and modulates the function of natural killer cells. Despite its role in immunity, the complex genomic structure has limited a deep understanding of the KIR genomic landscape. Here we conduct deep sequencing of 16 KIR genes in 1,173 individuals. We devise a bioinformatics pipeline incorporating copy number estimation and insertion or deletion (indel) calling for high-resolution KIR genotyping. We define 118 alleles in 13 genes and demonstrate a linkage disequilibrium structure within and across KIR centromeric and telomeric regions. We construct a KIR imputation reference panel (nreference = 689, imputation accuracy = 99.7%), apply it to biobank genotype (ntotal = 169,907), and perform phenome-wide association studies of 85 traits. We observe a dearth of genome-wide significant associations, even in immune traits implicated previously to be associated with KIR (the smallest p = 1.5 × 10-4). Our pipeline presents a broadly applicable framework to evaluate innate immunity in large-scale datasets.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few epidemiological studies have been performed to clarify the association between glucose metabolism disorders in early adults (20 years old) and physiological and environmental factors, including body mass index (BMI) in junior high school days. Therefore, we examined the association between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level and body size (BMI) in early adulthood and lifestyles, including sleep habits and BMI in junior high school days in Shika town, a small town in Japan, by conducting a retrospective cohort study. METHODS We examined the HbA1c levels and body size (BMI) of 99 early adults who turned 20 years old between 2016 and 2020 and were residing in Shika town, Ishikawa Prefecture. We obtained the information on lifestyles and living environment factors, including BMI, from a questionnaire survey conducted among the subjects during their junior high school days (13-15 years old) from 2009 to 2013. RESULTS No correlations were observed between the HbA1c levels and the BMI values of the early adults. A two-way analysis of covariance (with the HbA1c levels and BMI values of the early adults as main factors) of the body size and lifestyle habits of the junior high school students revealed that "sleep quality in junior high school" was significantly poorer in the high HbA1c group than in the low HbA1c group in the early adults with high BMI values only. This result was also supported by the logistic regression analysis result. CONCLUSIONS The present results indicate that poor sleep quality in junior high school was associated with the high HbA1c levels of the early adults with higher BMI values, which suggests that good sleep quality in junior high school prevents the development of hyperglycemia. However, the present study did not find any relationship between early-adult BMI and HbA1c level.

Abstract
Although fat content affects the texture and flavor of meat and meat products, the fat discrimination thresholds are unknown. This study aimed to elucidate the discrimination threshold of fat in meat products using broth from chicken thigh meat as a meat taste model. In Experiment 1, triangle tests were conducted between 1%, 0.2%, 0.04%, and 0.008% (w/v) chicken oil-supplemented broth and broth without chicken oil. The results indicated the discrimination threshold to be between 0.04% and 0.008% (w/v). In Experiment 2, similar triangle tests were conducted using oil supplementation at 0.1%, 0.0333%, 0.0111%, and 0.0037% to refine the discrimination threshold. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the discrimination threshold of emulsified chicken oil in chicken broth was 0.0387% (w/v). We demonstrated that chicken oil made a sensory difference in chicken broth at a low concentration and indicates that the chicken oil strongly affects the sensory characteristics of chicken broth.

Abstract
Although alcohol intake is associated with chronic pain (CP) and analgesia, epidemiological studies have not yet examined the factors affecting the relationship between alcohol intake and CP in detail. Therefore, the present cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between alcohol intake and CP in community-dwelling middle-aged and elderly individuals with/without depressive symptoms. Participants comprised 2223 inhabitants of Shika town in Ishikawa prefecture, located on the Noto Peninsula facing the Sea of Japan, and included 1007 males and 1216 females. CP, depressive symptoms, and alcohol intake were assessed using a CP questionnaire, the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 and the brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire, respectively. In males without depressive symptoms, mean alcohol intake was significantly higher at 5.70% energy (27.92 g/day) in the CP group than that of 3.75% energy (20.00 g/day) in the non-CP group. The prevalence of low back/knee pain was also significantly higher in males with than in those without depressive symptoms. The present results suggest that long-term alcohol intake is related to CP by reducing the pain threshold and enhancing nociceptive pain as a possible mechanism. However, even a low alcohol intake was associated with psychogenic pain in participants with depressive symptoms. Further studies to investigate the involvement of depressive symptoms and alcohol intake in CP and its prevention are needed.

Abstract
Apolipoprotein E E4 (APOE4) is a risk factor for cognitive decline. A high blood vitamin C (VC) level reduces APOE4-associated risk of developing cognitive decline in women. In the present study, we aimed to examine the effects of functional variants of VC transporter genes expressed in the brain (SLC2A1, SLC2A3, and SLC23A2) on APOE4-associated risk of developing cognitive decline. This case–control study involved 393 Japanese subjects: 252 cognitively normal and 141 cognitively impaired individuals (87 mild cognitive impairment and 54 dementia). Database searches revealed that rs1279683 of SLC23A2, and rs710218 and rs841851 of SLC2A1 are functional variants that are significantly associated with the altered expression of the respective genes and genotyped as three single nucleotide variants (SNVs). When stratified by SNV genotype, we found a significant association between APOE4 and cognitive decline in minor allele carriers of rs1279683 (odds ratio [OR] 2.02, 95% CI, 1.05–3.87, p = 0.035) but not in the homozygote carriers of the major allele. Significant associations between APOE4 and cognitive decline were also observed in participants with major allele homozygotes of rs710218 (OR 2.35, 95% CI, 1.05–5.23, p = 0.037) and rs841851 (OR 3.2, 95% CI, 1.58–6.46, p = 0.0012), but not in minor allele carriers of the respective SNVs. In contrast, the three functional SNVs showed no significant effect on cognitive decline. Our results imply that functional SNVs of VC transporter genes can affect APOE4-associated risk of developing cognitive decline via altered VC levels in the brain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Molecular targeted therapy has been developed as an innovative treatment for metastatic cancer. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is one of the most important and frequent oncogenic drivers in non-small-cell lung cancer, and EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors are indispensable drugs for mutation-positive patients. Currently, the acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) is a problem, the mechanism of which has not been elucidated. The histological transformation from original adenocarcinoma to small-cell carcinoma is rare; however, it has been detected in many cases after EGFR-TKI treatment. This study aimed to evaluate mutational status in two different histological types and further elucidate the molecular pathogenesis. METHODS Three patients with EGFR-mutant lung cancer who underwent a histological transformation to small-cell carcinoma after growth factor receptor-TKI treatment were enrolled in this study. Two samples per patient were collected from histologically different lesions, and DNA samples were extracted from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor tissues. The paired samples were subjected to next-generation sequencing of 160 cancer-related genes. Based on the sequencing results, the expression levels of related proteins were validated using reverse-transferase polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS The following five variants were common among the three cases: MTOR, JAK1, NOTCH2, CSF1R, and MAP2K2. The former four variants were additive to small-cell carcinoma, and the last variant was lost. Both TP53 and Rb1 alterations were detected in adenocarcinoma. Notch2 expression was negative in small-cell carcinoma in both reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis and immunohistochemical staining. ASCL1 expression increased after histological transformation detected using both methods in one case, only these samples were evaluable. CONCLUSIONS Notch and ASCL1 signaling are the master regulators of neuroendocrine differentiation in small-cell lung carcinoma. Our results suggest that the Notch-ASCL1 axis may also play an essential role in the transformation of small-cell carcinoma under TP53 and RB1 inactivation.

Abstract
Heterozygous RFX6 mutation has emerged as a potential cause of maturity-onset diabetes mellitus of the young (MODY). A 16-year-old female was diagnosed with diabetes by her family doctor and was referred to our institution for genetic examination. Genetic testing revealed a novel RFX6 heterozygous mutation (NM_173560: exon17: c.1954C>T: p.R652X) in the patient and in her mother and brother. She had no islet-specific autoantibodies and showed a reduced meal-induced response of insulin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, and glucagon-like peptide-1, which is consistent with the phenotype of MODY due to heterozygous RFX6 mutation. In conclusion, we report a case of MODY due to a novel heterozygous mutation, p.R652X.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The somatic mutational profile of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) among Japanese patients has been less investigated, partly because of the rarity of the tumor. Moreover, previous studies have either used formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples or lacked paired normal tissues. We aimed to determine somatic mutations in the exomes of 76 genes, including 50 driver genes of solid cancers and NOTCH-related genes, some of which are previously reported as frequently mutated in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma or OSCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used fresh-frozen tumor/normal-paired samples from 98 treatment-naïve Japanese patients with OSCC and analyzed their correlations with clinicopathological characteristics and survival. RESULTS We identified 136 exonic mutations, including 78 non-synonymous mutations, 13 synonymous mutations, 22 nonsense mutations, 2 non-frameshift deletions, 11 frameshift deletion, and 5 each of splice-site and frameshift insertions. The most frequently mutated genes were TP53 (36.7%), FAT1 (9.2%), NOTCH1 (8.2%), CDKN2A (7.1%), ZFHX4 (5.1%), CASP8 (4.1%), EP300 (4.1%), and KMT2D (4.1%). We followed up 90 of the 98 patients for 3 years. Among them, TP53 mutation was associated with significantly shorter 3-year disease-free survival. Most of the identified TP53 mutations occurred in the DNA-binding domain and were functionally deleterious. DISCUSSION Our findings and the mutation spectra can contribute to the development of a therapeutic strategy for Japanese patients with OSCC.
