Abstract
BACKGROUND The workload of public health nurses (PHNs) working for local governments has been increasing as health issues become more diverse and complicated. Even amidst the ongoing administrative and fiscal reforms, there is an urgent need to ensure how effectively and efficiently public health nurses can practice in health service development. The objective of this research was to clarify the actual conditions of best practice transfer (BPT) and its related factors. METHODS An anonymous postal and self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted among PHNs working at 334 sites, including the local government offices and health centers across Japan, and analysed mainly through logistic regression analysis. RESULTS One hundred eighty-five of the 334 institutions (55.4%) agreed to participate, and of the 966 questionnaire forms distributed, 709 forms (73.4%) were collected, of which 702 responses (72.7%) were valid. Although less than half (43.2%) have experience in BPT in health service development, more than 80% are willing to perform going forward. Significant factors for both the group with experience in BPT and the group with willingness to perform include an organizational culture that promotes BPT, as well as multiple elements of the workplace environment and facilitating factors related to knowledge and learning. The experienced group recognised the needs for criteria to evaluate the adaptability of best practice, while the willing group, to evaluate the quality of practice. CONCLUSIONS Through a nationwide survey, this research elucidated for the first time the actual conditions of BPT by PHNs in Japan and related factors. The results indicated the importance of developing a system to promote BPT at the workplace level, also highlighted the importance for practitioners and experts, including researchers, to work together to develop practical guidelines to ensure evidence-based practices. Urgent actions are needed for the national and local governments to develop a system to promote BPT from diverse perspectives, building on the findings of this research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some children of parents with mental illness need support. This study aimed to develop and test the effectiveness of an e-learning program for training elementary schoolteachers to support children of parents with mental illness. METHODS The program, which included a 30-min video-based e-learning program, aimed to help schoolteachers gain basic knowledge about mental illness and children of parents with mental illness, recognize children in need of support, and gain confidence in supporting them. A school-based cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted, and the schools were randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The teachers at these schools signed up for the program and participated individually. The outcome measures for the schoolteachers were evaluated at three time points: baseline (T1), post (T2), and one month later (T3). Along with the Sense of Coping Difficulty subscale (primary outcome measure), the following self-developed outcome measures were used: actual behaviors and attitude toward supporting children, knowledge, and self-assessment of program goals achievement. The Sense of Coping Difficulty subscale results at T3 were compared between the groups. Effectiveness over time was assessed for all the outcome measures. The interaction between baseline and intervention effects on the Sense of Coping Difficulty subscale was analyzed. As a part of the process evaluation, open-ended text responses were analyzed qualitatively. RESULTS Baseline responses were collected from 87 participants in the intervention group and 84 in the control group. The total score of the Sense of Coping Difficulty subscale at T3 was significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (p = 0.007). Over time, a significant effect was observed on the Sense of Coping Difficulty subscale, actual behavior, knowledge of onset timing and probability of onset, and achievement of all program goals. Exploratory analysis was particularly effective for those who encountered a high level of difficulty in supporting children. The participants' text responses indicated that they planned to look carefully at children's backgrounds and stay close to them in the future. CONCLUSIONS The program was effective for schoolteachers in supporting children of parents with mental illness. TRIAL REGISTRATION UMIN000045483; 14/09/2021.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Supporting parents with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI) requires knowledge, skills, and a positive attitude toward parenthood. We developed a Japanese e-learning program for public health nurses (PHNs) to enable them to support parents with SPMI and their family members. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the program in improving the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and self-efficacy of PHNs in supporting them. METHODS A three-hour video-based e-learning program was developed. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 176 PHNs responsible for maternal and child health in Japan. The outcome measures included the Sense of Coping Difficulty/Possibility Scale, skills to support people with SPMI, and achievement of program goals. Outcome data were collected at three time points during the study: baseline (T1), post-intervention (T2), and one month after T2 (T3) using self-administered electronic questionnaires. Outcome measures were assessed by comparing the two groups at the endpoint (T3) using t-tests and ANOVA. Effectiveness over time was assessed using a mixed model for repeated measures, with group and time interactions as fixed effects. RESULTS The study participants were randomly allocated to two groups:89 in the intervention group, and 87 in the control group. The total score and the scores in the two subscales of the Sense of Coping Difficulty/Possibility Scale in the intervention group at T3 were significantly higher than those in the control group, as shown by the t-test and ANOVA (all p<0.001). The Sense of Coping Difficulty subscale had a large effect size (Cohen's d=1.27). The analysis of the results of a mixed model for repeated measures showed that the group and time interactions on all outcome measures were not significantly different at T1 but were significantly different at T2 and T3. CONCLUSIONS The program was effective one month after its completion, particularly in reducing PHNs' difficulties in supporting parents with SPMI. TRIAL REGISTRATION UMIN000045765, November 1, 2021.

Abstract
In the near future, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) have been diagnosed by home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) instead of clinic BP monitoring. A multicenter study of HBPM was performed in pregnant Japanese women in the non-high risk group for HDP. Participants were women (n = 218), uncomplicated pregnancy who self-measured and recorded their HBP daily. Twelve women developed HDP. HBP was appropriate (100 mmHg in systole and 63 mmHg in diastole), bottoming out at 17 to 21 weeks of gestation. It increased after 24 weeks of gestation and returned to non-pregnant levels by 4 weeks of postpartum. The upper limit of normal HBP was defined as the mean value +3 SD for systolic and mean +2 SD for diastolic with reference to the criteria for non-pregnant women. Using the polynomial equation, the hypertensive cut-off of systolic HBP was 125 mmHg at 15 weeks and 132 mmHg at 30 weeks of gestation, while it for diastolic HBP was 79 mmHg at 15 weeks and 81 mmHg at 30 weeks of gestation. Systolic HBP in women who developed HDP was higher after 24 weeks of gestation, and diastolic HBP was higher during most of the pregnancy compared to normal pregnancy. When the variability of individual HBP in women developed HDP compared to normal pregnant women was examined using the coefficient of variation (CV), the CV was lower in HDP before the onset of HDP. HBPM can be used not only for HDP determination, but also for early detection of HDP.

Abstract
Early diagnosis and treatment are necessary to prevent lifestyle-related diseases among high-risk individuals. This study aimed to examine the impact of counselor characteristics on clinic visits among individuals at high risk for lifestyle-related diseases. A total of 8975 patients aged 40 to 74 years with lifestyle-related comorbidities, who underwent an annual health checkup and received health counseling, were included in this study. Data intervention timing, mode of counseling, number of counseling sessions, and explanation methods were collected. We assessed the impact of counselor characteristics, including profession (public health nurse, clinical nurse, and nutritionist), age, and years of counseling experience, on counseling outcomes. The probability ratios (95% confidence intervals) of clinic visits were 1.22 (1.11-1.35) for public health nurses and 1.04 (0.90-1.20) for nurses compared with nutritionists. After adjustment for participant and counselor characteristics and initial timing, mode, and number of counseling sessions, the corresponding probability ratios (95% confidence intervals) were 1.16 (1.05-1.29) and 1.12 (0.95-1.31), respectively. Counselor age and years of experience did not influence clinic visits of the target population. Public health nurses were more effective in increasing clinic visits among the target population owing to their profession-specific knowledge, skills, and experience.

Abstract
Purpose More than 70% of public health nurses in Japan belong to government agencies, and there is a need for further evidence-based capacity development for program implementation. The purpose of this research was to develop an Implementation Degree Assessment Sheet (IDAS) by customizing the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to health programs in Japan. Methods The draft IDAS (five domains, 31 constructs) created by customizing the CFIR was refined by the researchers and modified through pre-testing. The survey covered full-time public health nurses (PHNs) affiliated to all prefectures and the cities with health centers of Japan. The survey was conducted as an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire survey by mail. Results One hundred eighty-five of the 334 institutions (55.4%) agreed to participate in our survey. Of the 966 questionnaire forms distributed, 709 forms (73.4%) were collected, of which 702 responses (72.7%) were valid. No item required consideration of deletion based on the results of item analysis, and our confirmatory factor analysis on model fitness between the five IDAS domains and CFIR showed sufficient fit indices after modification. With regard to reliability, Cronbach’s coefficient alpha, a measure of internal consistency, stayed above 0.8 overall. Our verification of stability with the split-half (odd/even) method resulted in a Spearman–Brown reliability coefficient of 0.95. The correlation coefficient between the IDAS scores and the research utilization competency score, used as an external criterion, was 0.51 (p<0.001), supporting the coexistence validity of the criterion-related validity of the IDAS. The significant differences were observed between known-groups, supporting the known-group validity of the IDAS. Conclusion This study developed the IDAS and confirmed constant reliability and validity. Hereafter, it is necessary to promote the required capacity development based on the actual degree of implementation in order to use the IDAS for the competency development of public health nurses and related professions to deliver health programs. Supplementary Information The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s43058-022-00270-w.

Abstract
Background The purpose of this study is to clarify the actual situation of the cases and the characteristics of support, focusing on mothers and their children, and elderly persons among the cases of intervention refusal encountered by public health nurses (PHNs) in Japan. Methods The data were descriptions of intervention refusal cases that were freely described by PHNs working for prefectural and municipal governments in questionnaire surveys nationwide. The characteristics of the cases and the support were categorized according to the situation of the case, and the number of descriptions was summarized and interpreted. Results The results revealed that interventions involving mothers and children were refused in most of by mother or parents. The refusals were related to child abuse, parental mental illness, obsessiveness, and complex backgrounds. The actual status of intervention refusal in elderly persons, interventions are frequently refused by elderly persons themselves in the case of self-neglect and by family members living with the elderly in the case of abuse. The refusals were related to mental disorders or dementia and living alone. In both cases, PHNs provided support in collaboration with multi-disciplinary and multi-agencies, and attempts were made to alleviate the situation of refusal to intervene, from detecting cases through contact during home visits and in other settings, and by coordinating with appropriate team members as required. Conclusions It is suggested that PHNs need to acquire practical skills depending on the characteristics of the case to cope with critical situations throughout the process of engagement.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to measure the blood levels of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor (PlGF) before and after tadalafil treatment in patients with fetal growth restriction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Maternal blood was collected from 13 women before and 2 weeks after tadalafil administration in the TADAFER II trial. The tadalafil treatment was conducted in addition to the conventional FGR treatment. As a control, maternal blood was also collected from 11 women before and 2 weeks after conventional treatment for fetal growth restriction. Blood sFlt-1 and PlGF were measured and the sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was calculated. Student's t-test was used to statistically analyze differences in the sFlt-1 and PlGF levels, and in the sFlt-1/PlGF ratios. RESULTS In both treatment groups, the levels of sFlt-1 and PlGF before and after treatment were not significantly different from each other. The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was 2.0 ± 1.0 before and 17.6 ± 11.3 after treatment in the control group (p=.04). The sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was 2.2 ± 1.1 before and 22.2 ± 10.6 after tadalafil treatment in the tadalafil group (p=.06). The sFlt-1/PlGF ratios before and after tadalafil treatment were significantly increased in the control group. In both treatment groups, the sFlt-1/PlGF ratios before and after treatment were less than 38. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that the levels of sFlt-1 and PlGF were not significantly different as a result of tadalafil treatment. Further studies are needed to understand the mechanism of action of tadalafil in the treatment of fetal growth restriction.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to develop a scale to measure prenatal smoking cessation counseling for Japanese public health nurses (PHNs). METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted via an anonymous, self-administered questionnaire. The sample included 1933 PHNs working in 424 municipal health centers nationwide, which were randomly selected. We created the draft scale based on semi-structured interviews, previous studies, and preliminary survey. Additionally, we conducted back translation for English version of the draft scale to be applicable in English countries. The analytic strategy consisted of item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and differentiation by 'known groups'. RESULTS A total of 550 responses (28.5%) were included in the analysis. Most of the respondents were female (98.2%) and the mean age was 37.5±9.37 years. In the exploratory factor analysis, two factors were extracted and the factor loadings for all items were greater than 0.40. The first factor with eleven items was named as 'basic counseling' and the second factor with seven items was named as 'advanced counseling'. The Cronbach's alpha of the scale was 0.918, and the cumulative contribution was 44.908%. Multiple comparisons by experience years working as a PHN revealed significant differences in the scale and two factors. CONCLUSIONS In this study, we initially developed the prenatal smoking cessation counseling scale for Japanese PHNs, and the reliability and validity of the scale were considered to be acceptable.

Abstract
At the 73rd Annual Congress of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, young doctors from Japan and South Korea made presentations on the present condition of risk-reducing surgery for hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (RRSO) in their respective country. RRSO was insured in Japan in April 2020, whereas in South Korea, it was insured 7 years earlier in 2013. In Japan, certification criteria have been set for facilities that perform RRSO, and the number of facilities is increasing, but regional disparities still exist in its distribution. The number of gBRCA1/2 testing facilities is larger, and the cost is more affordable in South Korea than in Japan. Additionally, South Korea provides genetic counseling to a wider range of relatives compared to Japan. In the future, as the indications for the gBRCA1/2 test have expanded as a companion diagnostic for the use of PARP inhibitors, it is expected that the number of candidates for the gBRCA1/2 mutation test and RRSO will increase in Japan. It is important to increase the number of BRCA tests while maintaining the quality of genetic counseling in order to provide adequate information on BRCA mutations and RRSO for patients to support their decision. For the development of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) medical care, it is necessary to publish a nationwide database in Japan and continue to analyze and discuss the data based on the results.

Abstract
Background: In Japan, lifestyle-related diseases are a major issue. It is necessary to
support employees in making lifestyle changes. As a result, this study
intended to test and evaluate the feasibility of a brief lifestyle change
program led by employees in the workplace. Methods: A 2-group before-and-after test design was used, with employees from a plant
in Japan as participants. Intervention was carried out by healthcare
specialists for the Standard Intervention Group, while employees who
previously received the same intervention performed it for the Employee-run
Group. Data were collected twice with a questionnaire, provided in the first
and last program sessions. The conditions of the participants during the
intervention were compared. Results: Of all the participants, 96 were in the Standard Intervention Group and 365
were in the Employee-run Group. The mean age did not differ significantly
between the 2 groups. There was a significantly higher ratio of men and
night shift workers in the Employee-run Group. Although a significantly
smaller proportion of participants set shared behavioral goals for 3 people
or self-monitored their lifestyle habits in the Employee-run Group, the
lifestyle habits of self-checking, physical measurement, and other items for
set goals did not differ. Conclusions: Participants in the Employee-run group completed components of the program to
the same extent as those in the Standard Intervention Group, suggesting that
this program is feasible. However, as the participation rate was lower in
some components, improvements to the program and workbook are needed to make
those components easier to complete.

Abstract
The purpose of this narrative review is to synthesize the factors that are associated with smoking cessation intervention among nurses. We conducted a systematic search of the literature published from database inception through to 22 April 2020, in five electronic databases including Pubmed, CINAHL Plus, Scopus, Web of science, and ProQuest. The search was limited to articles written in English and published in scientific journals. The reference lists of papers identified as being relevant in the above electronic searches were also hand searched. The initial database search yielded 2039 articles and 11 articles were obtained through a manual search. Finally, 24 articles were included in the analysis. Of the 24 included studies, 46 different factors were identified to be significantly associated with nursing interventions for smoking cessation. The identified factors were grouped into the following four conceptually similar categories: (1) socioeconomic factors, (2) smoking-related factors, (3) motivational factors, and (4) enabling factors and barriers. In the future, nursing interventions for smoking cessation will need to be improved based on the identified factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To (i) evaluate the applicability of the European-derived biomarker multiples of the median (MoM) formulae for risk assessment of preterm pre-eclampsia (PE) in seven Asian populations, spanning the east, southeast and south regions of the continent, (ii) perform quality-assurance (QA) assessment of the biomarker measurements and (iii) establish criteria for prospective ongoing QA assessment of biomarker measurements. METHODS This was a prospective, non-intervention, multicenter study in 4023 singleton pregnancies, at 11 to 13 + 6 weeks' gestation, in 11 recruiting centers in China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. Women were screened for preterm PE between December 2016 and June 2018 and gave written informed consent to participate in the study. Maternal and pregnancy characteristics were recorded and mean arterial pressure (MAP), mean uterine artery pulsatility index (UtA-PI) and maternal serum placental growth factor (PlGF) were measured in accordance with The Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) standardized measurement protocols. MAP, UtA-PI and PlGF were transformed into MoMs using the published FMF formulae, derived from a largely Caucasian population in Europe, which adjust for gestational age and covariates that affect directly the biomarker levels. Variations in biomarker MoM values and their dispersion (SD) and cumulative sum tests over time were evaluated in order to identify systematic deviations in biomarker measurements from the expected distributions. RESULTS In the total screened population, the median (95% CI) MoM values of MAP, UtA-PI and PlGF were 0.961 (0.956-0.965), 1.018 (0.996-1.030) and 0.891 (0.861-0.909), respectively. Women in this largely Asian cohort had approximately 4% and 11% lower MAP and PlGF MoM levels, respectively, compared with those expected from normal median formulae, based on a largely Caucasian population, whilst UtA-PI MoM values were similar. UtA-PI and PlGF MoMs were beyond the 0.4 to 2.5 MoM range (truncation limits) in 16 (0.4%) and 256 (6.4%) pregnancies, respectively. QA assessment tools indicated that women in all centers had consistently lower MAP MoM values than expected, but were within 10% of the expected value. UtA-PI MoM values were within 10% of the expected value at all sites except one. Most PlGF MoM values were systematically 10% lower than the expected value, except for those derived from a South Asian population, which were 37% higher. CONCLUSIONS Owing to the anthropometric differences in Asian compared with Caucasian women, significant differences in biomarker MoM values for PE screening, particularly MAP and PlGF MoMs, were noted in Asian populations compared with the expected values based on European-derived formulae. If reliable and consistent patient-specific risks for preterm PE are to be reported, adjustment for additional factors or development of Asian-specific formulae for the calculation of biomarker MoMs is required. We have also demonstrated the importance and need for regular quality assessment of biomarker values. Copyright © 2019 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to develop a simulation learning program for mastering public health nursing skills to enhance strength of community, and to verify its effectiveness. METHODS The program is one-day session to master the skills from three exercises. This study adopts a quasi-experimental design. We selected unbiased 34 participants in intervention group and 30 participants in control group, and conducted self-administered questionnaire surveys at three points in time: pre, post 1 and post 2. Three tools were used to measure the required outcome. For the outcome evaluation, we calculated the changes in the mean value of each tool between pre and post 1 and between pre and post 2, and compared them between the two groups. RESULTS The change of intervention group in the total score at the post 1 stage from the pre stage was significantly higher than control group regarding each of the scales (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS The program was found to be effective in upgrading the skills of less-experienced public health nurses to enhance strength of community.

Abstract
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to shed light on the public health nursing art (PHNA) that enhances “Strength of Community (SC)” with practical activities of Public Health Nurses (PHNs) in Japan.
Methods:
This study used a qualitative, descriptive design. According to the recommendation, we selected the best PHN activities as identified SC was enhanced that was implemented by multiple PHNs. Interviewees were PHNs who were recommended as PHNs who can talk about each activity on the representative of PHNs concerned. Data were collected three times each through a semi-structured interview, each lasting for about one hour. PHNA was classified into six frameworks: Searching; Stimulating; Facilitating; Cooperation; Continuing Quality Improvement; and Policy/Resource Development based on previous studies.
Results:
The results indicate that the PHNA included in the six frameworks may further be classified into 12 categories and 26 sub-categories. We also identified three elements of social justice, the underlying norm for the concept. 12 categories were extracted two for each framework, {Reality Searching}, {Reality Actualization}; {Ownership Fostering}, {Motivation Support}; {Collective Effort Promotion}, {Full Retention Promotion}; {Collaborative Piloting}, {Opportunity/Platform Provision}; {Capacity Building}, {Quality Management}; {Resource Development} and {Planning/Systematization}.
Conclusion:
This study succeeded in demonstrating that the PHNA to enhance SC was collected, refined, and structured in a multidisciplinary and comprehensive manner, within the context of promoting positive health among the population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the reasons for nonreportable cell-free DNA (cfDNA) results in noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), we retrospectively studied maternal characteristics and other details associated with the results. METHODS A multicenter retrospective cohort study in pregnant women undergoing NIPT by massively parallel sequencing (MPS) with failed cfDNA tests was performed between April 2013 and March 2017. The women's data and MPS results were analyzed in terms of maternal characteristics, test performance, fetal fraction (FF), z scores, anticoagulation therapy, and other details of the nonreportable cases. RESULTS Overall, 110 (0.32%) of 34 626 pregnant women had nonreportable cfDNA test results after an initial blood sampling; 22 (20.0%) cases had a low FF (<4%), and 18 (16.4%) cases including those with a maternal malignancy, were found to have altered genomic profile. Approximately half of the cases with nonreportable results had borderline z score. Among the women with nonreportable results because of altered genomic profile, the success rate of retesting using a second blood sampling was relatively low (25.0%-33.3%). Thirteen (11.8%) of the women with nonreportable results had required hypodermic heparin injection. CONCLUSIONS The classification of nonreportable results using cfDNA analysis is important to provide women with precise information and to reduce anxiety during pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Flash glucose monitoring (FGM) is a factory-calibrated, blood glucose measuring sensor system for patients with diabetes. We aimed to investigate the correlation between the sensor glucose (SG) value obtained using an FGM device and the traditional self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) value. METHODS In 30 patients with diabetes under insulin treatment, SG and SMBG values were measured for 2 weeks, and the correlation between the values was analyzed. RESULTS The mean number of accumulated measurements of SG values was 1223.2 ± 193.0, whereas that of the SMBG values was 49.2 ± 21.3. Although SG and SMBG values showed a favorable correlation (R2 = 0.8413), SG values were lower than SMBG values by an average of 7.9 ± 29.8 mg/dL. The correlation patterns fell into four types: low type (SG values lower than SMBG values; n = 12), high type (SG values higher than SMBG values; n = 3), cross type (the slope of the two regression lines crossed at a certain measurement value; n = 14), and matching type (the values overlapped; n = 1). CONCLUSIONS Recognition of the characteristic correlation patterns between SG and SMBG values is indispensable for certified diabetes educators to provide appropriate treatment guidance to patients with diabetes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION FreeStyle Libre (Abbot Diabetes Care Ltd) has been launched as a novel glucose monitoring system called flash glucose monitoring (FGM) in Europe. Several reports are becoming available on its usefulness and safety. To date, however, reports from Asian countries have not been made available. In this study, we evaluated its usefulness in Japanese people with diabetes in terms of its mental well-being and patient satisfaction outcomes. METHODS Individuals with type 1 and 2 diabetes treated with insulin were enrolled, and they performed self-monitoring of blood glucose. All participants were subjected to FGM for 14 days and compared for changes in mental well-being using the WHO-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5) (1998 version) as well as in patient satisfaction using the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ) before and after implementation of FGM. RESULTS The study included a total of 80 subjects (type 1/2 diabetes, 57/23). The WHO-5 scores were significantly improved from 15.5 ± 4.1 at baseline to 17.2 ± 4.5 after implementation of FGM (P < 0.001); the DTSQ scores also were significantly improved from 24.8 ± 6.0 to 26.7 ± 5.2 (P = 0.001). In type 1 diabetes, both the WHO-5 and DTSQ scores were significantly improved from baseline (P = 0.001, P = 0.001), while neither the WHO-5 scores nor the DTSQ scores were improved in type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS The study results suggest that FGM has the potential to improve mental well-being and treatment satisfaction among individuals with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
Objectives This study examined the sentences that public health nurses (PHNs) use to describe "healthcare targets and results"; how they use the four components-target, result, term, and achievement degree-necessary for explaining, for example, a plan for healthcare activities; and what kind of contents they describe.Methods The participants were full-time PHNs working at randomly chosen prefectural public health centers or municipal health centers. Questionnaires were distributed by mail, and the subjects were asked to give a sentence describing "healthcare targets and results." The contents of the sentences were examined, four components were extracted, and the sentences were classified by their contents. Depending on the number of components, the sentences were classified into five groups: 4, 3, 2, 1, and 0. We ascertained the ratio of each component and group, and the combinations of components in sentences. Related factor measures were years of PHN experience and municipality.Results Of the 1,615 participants, 1,088 (67.4%) responded, and 961 (59.5%) responses were valid. The ratio of sentences expressing "target" was 81.0%, "result" was 58.8%, "term" was 3.4%, and "achievement degree" was 18.5%. Most of the answers for "target" expressed attributes. The answers for "result" expressed not only specific indicators of activity or health, but also a general vision or output (not the results like outcome) of the process of PHNs' healthcare activities. The answers for "term" expressed the time limit of the evaluation, and those for "achievement degree" expressed a specific rate, ratio, or number. Within each component group, the sentences were classified as follows: Group 4 (2.4%), Group 3 (15.6%), Group 2 (33.8%), Group 1 (37.7%), and Group 0 (10.5%), which were found to lack the component "term," "achievement degree," "result," and "target" respectively. The ratio of Group 4 increased with more years of PHN experience and larger municipality, but there were no significant differences.Conclusion A few of the PHNs' sentences described all the components of "healthcare targets and results," and the fewest described "term" and "achievement degree." In addition, these sentences expressed abstract contents or the process of PHNs' healthcare activities. PHNs should be able to describe the target's specific health issue, the time limit for solution, and numerical target results.

Abstract
AIMS Although serum complement factor 3 (C3) is an acute phase reactant mainly synthesized in the liver, several recent studies have shown high C3 gene expression in adipose tissue (AT). However, the relationship between C3 and AT levels has not been fully clarified in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. METHODS A total of 164 T2DM patients (109men and 55 women) participated in this cross-sectional study. A computed tomography scan was performed to measure visceral, subcutaneous, and total AT. The correlation between these factors and C3 levels was examined using Pearson's correlation analysis. A multivariate regression model was used to assess an independent determinant associated with C3 levels after adjusting the explanatory variables (i.e., all ATs [visceral, subcutaneous, and total], and clinical features [sex, age, body mass index, waist circumference, glycated hemoglobin, duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, aspartate aminotransferase levels, alanine aminotransferase levels, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, log(triglyceride levels), estimated glomerular filtration rate, and log(high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels)]). RESULTS Serum C3 levels were correlated with visceral, subcutaneous, and total AT among both men (r=0.505, p<0.001; r=0.545, p<0.001; r=0.617, p<0.001, respectively) and women (r=0.396, p=0.003; r=0.517, p<0.001; r=0.548, p<0.001, respectively). In the multivariate regression model, the association between total AT and C3 levels remained significantly positive (β=0.490, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Serum C3 levels are associated with visceral, subcutaneous, and total AT in T2DM patients. Furthermore, C3 levels seem to be a marker for overall adiposity rather than regional adiposity.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of long-term use of tocolytic agents to prevent preterm delivery and improve perinatal outcome. METHODS A historical cohort study was performed in a single perinatal center. The maternal characteristics, frequency of preterm labor and prescribed dose of tocolytic agents were compared before and after changing the management protocol for threatened premature delivery. RESULTS A total of 1548 deliveries were carried out before changing the protocol for the use of tocolytic agents for threatened premature delivery and 1444 deliveries afterwards. There was no significant difference in the maternal characteristics before and after the revision except for maternal age. The total number of ritodrine hydrochloride ampules used was reduced from 4654 to 514, and the total vials of magnesium sulfate used were reduced from 1574 to 193, but perinatal outcomes, such as rate of preterm birth, neonatal weight, and rate of NICU hospitalization were not different between the groups. CONCLUSION There was no significant change in the frequency of preterm delivery before and after changing of the protocol for threatened premature delivery. Because a decrease in the given dose of tocolytic agents did not affect the timing of delivery and neonatal outcomes, long-term tocolysis in patients with threatened premature delivery should be restricted to prevent maternal and fetal adverse side-effects.

Abstract
It is very difficult to decide the best time to deliver the baby for a pregnant woman with advanced cancer. We experienced the perioperative and perinatal management of a 39-year-old pregnant woman with advanced tongue cancer. The cancer had already metastasized to the lung and lymph nodes. Furthermore a recurrent thumb-sized tumor was found in her mouth. She had firmly desired to discontinue all anticancer treatment for protecting the fetus. On the other hand, her family could not accept her determination yet. Therefore the medical team was organized with doctors and co-medicals from multiple departments such as gynecology, pediatrics, radiology, oncology, midwife, psychotherapy and anesthesiology. After several conferences including herself and family, finally cesarean section was scheduled for the 30th gestational week. Prepared for unexpected emergency delivery, airway stenosis was ruled out by fiberoptic laryngoscopy and the consent for emergency tracheostomy was obtained. The operation was performed successfully under spinal anesthesia without any severe troubles. Medical care as a team from early phase enabled elaborate observation and preparation through the perioperative and perinatal period. Furthermore, it was efficient to provide satisfaction to the patient and her family as well.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In order to promote high-quality healthcare activities, public health professionals such as public health nurses must improve their ability to systematically show health needs based on evidence and to lead decision making of superior officers and facility inhabitants for improved planning. This study developed and investigated its reliability and validity of an action scale to show the necessity of healthcare activities (SNH). METHODS The items in the SNH were originally selected based on previous studies and refined by researchers; they were subsequently adjusted after a pilot survey. The subjects were full-time public health nurses (PHNs) working at prefectural public health centers or randomly chosen municipal health centers. Questionnaires were distributed by mail. We explained the ethical considerations in writing and those who returned completed questionnaire forms were considered to have given their consent to participate in the study. The study plan was approved by the university Domestic Ethics Committee. RESULTS Among 1,615 questionnaire recipients, 1,088 (67.4%) responded; of these, 1,035 (64.1%) responses were valid. Nineteen of 20 items were selected based on results of item analysis, and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that the SNH consisted of four factors: show existence of health needs, show evidence for the necessity of addressing health needs, show actual conditions requiring solution, and show priority for resolution. Cronbach's alpha, an SNH reliability coefficient, was 0.948, and individual factor scores were over 0.85, supporting the internal consistency of SNH. The correlation coefficient between SNH and the three other scales including related concepts was 0.6-0.8, with significant differences between scales, supporting the criterion-related validity of SNH. The score increased with increasing PHN experience and job seniority, which were used as the known-group, with significant differences between the lowest group and the top two groups. CONCLUSION The results confirmed that SNH is a reliable and valid scale to show the necessity of healthcare activities.

Abstract
Maternal smoking during early pregnancy is associated with a reduced risk for preeclampsia even after smoking cessation during pregnancy. Although the pathophysiology of preeclampsia has not been established, placental growth factor (PlGF) is believed to be a key factor. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of maternal smoking on the PlGF expression in invasive trophoblasts at early gestation. We collected villous tissues from women requesting surgical termination due to non-medical reasons at 7-8 weeks of gestation. The maternal smoking status was evaluated by measuring the serum cotinine level and patients were divided into two groups: active smokers and non-smokers. After separating invasive trophoblasts from villous tissues cultured initially under 2% O2 for 24 hours, the separated invasive trophoblasts were cultured under 2% or 8% O2 for 48 hours. The expression levels of the PlGF gene in villous tissue specimens and in invasive trophoblasts cultured after the conditions were quantified using qRT-PCR. The levels of PlGF protein in the medium were quantified using an ELISA. The gene expression level of PlGF in the villi in the active-smokers was significantly higher than that of the non-smokers. In comparison of the invasive trophoblasts under normoxia and oxygenated conditions, the ratio of PlGF gene expression and protein expression under oxygenation (2% O2+8% O2 / 2% O2+2% O2) in the active-smokers were both significantly higher than in the non-smokers. Maternal smoking history appears to stimulate PlGF expression in invasive trophoblasts under oxygenated conditions. This may be one of several causes leading to the protective effect of maternal smoking on preeclampsia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics and health issues of residents in need of assistance in a town affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake, six weeks after the disaster, through an outreach initiative. DESIGN AND SAMPLE A cross-sectional qualitative design was used. Public health nurses conducted comprehensive semi-structured interviews during home visits with residents. A total of 5,082 residents from the affected town. MEASURES These included demographic information, public records of the extent of the damages, and qualitative interview data to determine the urgency of the necessary interventions. RESULTS A total of 281 residents needed some kind of assistance and were identified as "requiring early intervention (within two weeks)" or "requiring assistance (within 12 weeks)." The most common health issue requiring early intervention was "interruption of treatment" (25.0%), followed by "need for mental care." The most frequent health issue requiring assistance within 12 weeks was the "need for mental health care" (39.7%), followed by "interruption of treatment," and "need for nursing care." CONCLUSIONS During a disaster, it is imperative to identify cases requiring early intervention. Home-visit interviews were necessary to identify existing health concerns to prevent the development of more serious health problems.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the effects of vitamin C on the expression of the genes related to apoptosis in extravillous trophoblasts (EVTs) in the first trimester. METHODS Extravillous trophoblasts were cultured under 2% O2 followed by 2% O2 or 8% O2 with or without vitamin C. The level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cultured medium was estimated using electron spin resonance spectroscopy. The expression levels of the genes TP53, BCL2, and BAX were quantified using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Reactive oxygen species were found to be decreased after adding vitamin C under increasing oxygen concentrations. In addition, the ratio of BAX/BCL2 also increased after adding vitamin C under conditions of 2% O2, while the gene expression level of BCL2 increased after adding vitamin C under increasing oxygen concentrations. In contrast, the gene expression level of TP53 and the ratio of BAX/BCL2 both decreased. CONCLUSION We have revealed that vitamin C reduces ROS and may promote the apoptosis of EVTs under conditions of 2% O2 while paradoxically preventing apoptosis under increasing oxygen concentrations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To predict the occurrence of fetal growth restriction (FGR) by analyzing messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 [Flt-1]) in maternal blood. STUDY DESIGN Eleven women with FGR were matched with 88 controls. Plasma samples were obtained during each trimester. The Flt-1 mRNA expression levels were compared between groups. Predicted probabilities were calculated, and sensitivity-specificity (receiver-operating characteristic [ROC]) curves were assessed based on regression models for each trimester measurement and possible combinations of measurements. RESULTS The mRNA levels of the FGR group during all trimesters were significantly higher than those of the control group. The ROC curve of combined first and second trimester data yielded a detection rate of 60% at a 10% false-positive rate, with an area under curve of 0.79. CONCLUSION The Flt-1 mRNA expression in maternal blood can be used as a marker to predict the development of FGR, long before a clinical diagnosis is made.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Maternal cigarette smoking is reportedly associated with miscarriage, fetal growth restriction and placental abruption, and is paradoxically associated with a decreased risk of developing preeclampsia. In the present study, we investigated the gene expression levels of villous tissues in early gestation. We compared the expression levels of the genes related to angiogenesis and apoptosis in the villous tissues obtained from smoking and non-smoking pregnant women. MATERIALS AND METHODS We collected villous tissue samples from 57 women requesting surgical termination due to non-medical reasons at 6-8 weeks of gestation. The maternal cigarette smoking status was evaluated by the level of serum cotinine and patients were divided into active smokers and non-smokers by the serum cotinine level. The placental levels of VEGFA, PGF, FLT1, HIF1A, TP53, BAX and BCL2 mRNA were quantified by real time PCR. RESULTS The gene expression level of PGF and HIF1A in the active smoker group was significantly higher than that in the non-smoker group. We did not observe any significant differences in the VEGFA or FLT1 expression between the groups. In active smoker group, the gene expression levels of TP53 and BAX were significantly higher than those in the non-smoker group. The ratio of BAX/BCL2 mRNA in the active smoker group was significantly higher than that in the non-smoker group. CONCLUSIONS Our findings revealed that smoking might affect the placenta during early pregnancy. Maternal cigarette smoking in early pregnancy may be associated with villus hypoxia, which may influence angiogenesis and apoptosis.

Abstract
This study identifies the relationship between tsunami damage and mortality through a demographic pyramid of a town severely damaged by the tsunami following the Great East Japan Earthquake of 11 March 2011. It uses cross-sectional data collection. Volunteers visited all households, including shelters, and asked residents about the whereabouts of family members and neighbours. The information was collated with lists of evacuees and the dead to confirm the whereabouts of all residents about 50 days after the disaster. Demographic pyramids for the whole population based on pre- and post-disaster data were drawn. In all, 1,412 (8.8 per cent) were dead or missing, 60.2 per cent of whom were aged 65 and over and 37.5 per cent aged 75 and over, suggesting that the very old should be located beyond the reach of tsunamis. The mortality rate of children was lower than that in other studies, which may indicate the efficacy of disaster evacuation drills.

Abstract
We compared the levels of cell-free human placental lactogen (hPL) messenger RNA (mRNA) in maternal plasma at 28 to 32 weeks of gestation between women with diagnosis of placenta previa or invasive placenta and women with an uneventful pregnancy. Sensitivity and specificity of hPL mRNA for the prediction of invasive placenta were further explored. Plasma hPL mRNA were quantified by real-time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction in women with placenta previa (n = 13), invasive placenta (n = 5), and normal pregnancies (n = 92). Median (range) hPL mRNA was significantly higher in women with placenta previa, 782 (10-2301) copies/mL of plasma, and in those with invasive placenta, 615 (522-2102) copies/mL of plasma, when compared to normal pregnancies, 90 (4-4407) copies/mL of plasma, P < .01 and P < .05, respectively. We found a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 61.5% for the prediction of invasive placenta among women with placenta previa. In conclusion, expression of hPL mRNA is increased in plasma of women with placenta previa and invasive placenta at 28 to 32 weeks of gestation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE First, to determine if microRNA-17 and -19b are expressed in villous samples at early stages of pregnancy. Second, to determine whether placental expressions of these microRNAs along with their main targets (PTEN, CREB-1, TGFβ-1 and TGFβ-RII) are altered in early pregnancy loss. STUDY DESIGN Expression levels of microRNAs and mRNA targets in villous samples from early pregnancy loss (n=11) and matched normal cases (n=20) by gestational age were determined by RT-PCR. RESULTS Both microRNA-17 and -19b were expressed in all cases of normal pregnancy. They were significantly down-regulated (relative ratios: 0.35 and 0.34 respectively) in early pregnancy loss. Their main target, PTEN mRNA, was significantly up-regulated in early pregnancy loss (relative ratio: 2.6, 95%CI: 0.2-29.8). TGF-β1, CREB-1 and TGFβ-RII were not significantly different between the two groups. CONCLUSION microRNA-17 and -19b are expressed in early stages of pregnancy. They are down-regulated in villous samples from early pregnancy loss. We suggest that these main members of the microRNA-17-92 cluster might be involved in placental invasion and its dysregulation might also be related to other conditions characterized by defective placentation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the physiological changes in the placental expression pattern of a panel of genes related to angiogenesis and oxidative stress during the early part of the first trimester of pregnancy. METHODS AND RESULTS The expression of a selected panel of genes was quantified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction in samples of villous trophoblasts obtained from women between 6 and 11 weeks of gestation undergoing elective artificial abortion. We found that the levels of messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of placental growth factor (PlGF), heme oxygenase 1(HO-1), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) increased significantly with gestational age (r = .37, P = .001; r = .24, P =.04; and r = .52, P < .001, respectively). Conversely, the mRNA expression level of fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (FLT-1) decreased significantly (r = -.30, P = .009). CONCLUSION During the early part of the first trimester of pregnancy, the placental gene expression levels of PlGF, HO-1, and SOD increase with gestational age, whereas the expression of FLT-1 decreases. The alteration in this pattern of gene expression in early pregnancy may therefore play an important role in placenta-related disorders such as preeclampsia.

Abstract
Trisomies 18 and 21 are the two most common live born autosomal aneuploidies in humans. While the anatomic abnormalities in affected fetuses are well documented, the dysregulated biological pathways associated with the development of the aneuploid phenotype are less clear. Amniotic fluid (AF) cell-free RNA is a valuable source of biological information obtainable from live fetuses. In this study, we mined gene expression data previously produced by our group from mid-trimester AF supernatant samples. We identified the euploid, trisomy 18 and trisomy 21 AF transcriptomes, and analyzed them with a particular focus on the nervous system. We used multiple bioinformatics resources, including DAVID, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, and the BioGPS Gene Expression Atlas. Our analyses confirmed that AF supernatant from aneuploid fetuses is enriched for nervous system gene expression and neurological disease pathways. Tissue analysis showed that fetal brain cortex and Cajal-Retzius cells were significantly enriched for genes contained in the AF transcriptomes. We also examined AF transcripts known to be dysregulated in aneuploid fetuses compared with euploid controls and identified several brain-specific transcripts among them. Many of these genes play critical roles in nervous system development. NEUROD2, which was downregulated in trisomy 18, induces neurogenic differentiation. SOX11, downregulated in trisomy 21, is a transcription factor that is essential for pan-neuronal protein expression and axonal growth of sensory neurons. Our results show that whole transcriptome analysis of cell-free RNA in AF from live pregnancies permits discovery of biomarkers of abnormal human neurodevelopment and advances our understanding of the pathophysiology of aneuploidy.
