Abstract
Cytokines employ downstream Janus kinases (JAKs) to promote chronic inflammatory diseases. JAK1-dependent type 2 cytokines drive allergic inflammation, and patients with JAK1 gain-of-function (GoF) variants develop atopic dermatitis (AD) and asthma. To explore tissue-specific functions, we inserted a human JAK1 GoF variant (JAK1GoF) into mice and observed the development of spontaneous AD-like skin disease but unexpected resistance to lung inflammation when JAK1GoF expression was restricted to the stroma. We identified a previously unrecognized role for JAK1 in vagal sensory neurons in suppressing airway inflammation. Additionally, expression of Calcb/CGRPβ was dependent on JAK1 in the vagus nerve, and CGRPβ suppressed group 2 innate lymphoid cell function and allergic airway inflammation. Our findings reveal evolutionarily conserved but distinct functions of JAK1 in sensory neurons across tissues. This biology raises the possibility that therapeutic JAK inhibitors may be further optimized for tissue-specific efficacy to enhance precision medicine in the future.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Epidemiological studies demonstrated that cleaning work and frequent use of cleaning products are risk factors for asthma. Laundry detergents have been reported to have epithelial barrier-opening effects. However, whether laundry detergents directly induce airway inflammation and its mechanisms in vivo remain to be elucidated. METHODS Two commercial laundry detergents and two commonly-used surfactants for cleaning and cosmetics (sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate) were intranasally administered to mice. Lungs were analyzed using flow cytometry, histology, ELISA, and quantitative PCR. Human bronchial epithelial cells were stimulated with laundry detergents and analyzed using quantitative PCR and western blotting. Involvement of oxidative stress was assessed using an antioxidant. Dust samples from homes were analyzed to determine their detergent content by measuring their critical micelle concentration (CMC). RESULTS The administered laundry detergents and surfactants induced eosinophilic airway inflammation accompanied by increased IL-33 expression and activation of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Detergent-induced eosinophilic airway inflammation was significantly attenuated in Rag2-/- Il2rg-/- , Il33-/- mice, and also in wild-type mice treated with NAC. Detergent-induced IL-33 expression in airways was attenuated by NAC treatment, both in vivo and in vitro. CMCs were found in all of the tested dust extracts, and they differed significantly among the homes. CONCLUSION The laundry detergents and surfactants induced eosinophilic airway inflammation in vivo through epithelial cell and ILC2 activation. They induced IL-33 expression in airway epithelial cells through oxidative stress. Furthermore, detergent residues were present in house dust and are presumably inhaled into the airway in daily life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Platelets are thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of asthma, presumably through direct adhesion to inflammatory cells, including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Here, we tried to elucidate the effects of platelet adhesion to ILC2s in vitro and in vivo, as well as the mechanisms involved. METHODS Alternaria-induced ILC2-dependent airway inflammation models using wild-type and c-mpl-/- mice were evaluated. Both purified CD41+ and CD41- ILC2s were cultured with IL-2 and IL-33 to determine in vitro Type 2 (T2) cytokine production and cell proliferation. RNA-seq data of flow-cytometry-sorted CD41+ and CD41- ILC2s were used to isolate ILC2-specific genes. Flow cytometry was performed to determine the expression of CD41 and adhesion-related molecules on ILC2s in both mouse and human tissues. RESULTS T2 inflammation and T2 cytokine production from ILC2s were significantly reduced in the c-mpl-/- mice compared to wild-type mice. Platelet-adherent ILC2s underwent significant proliferation and showed enhanced T2 cytokine production when exposed to IL-2 and IL-33. The functions of ILC2-specific genes were related to cell development and function. Upstream regulator analysis identified 15 molecules, that are thought to be involved in ILC2 activation. CD41 expression levels were higher in ILC2s from human PBMCs and mouse lung than in those from secondary lymphoid tissues, but they did not correlate with the P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 or CD24 expression level. CONCLUSION Platelets spontaneously adhere to ILC2s, probably in the peripheral blood and airways, thereby potentiating ILC2s to enhance their responses to IL-33.

Abstract
Discovery of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), which are non-T and non-B lymphocytes that have no antigen-specific receptors, changed the classical concept of the mechanism of allergy, which had been explained mainly as antigen-specific acquired immunity based on IgE and Th2 cells. The discovery led to dramatic improvement in our understanding of the mechanism of non-IgE-mediated allergic inflammation. Numerous studies conducted in the past decade have elucidated the characteristics of each ILC subset in various organs and tissues and their ontogeny. We now know that each ILC subset exhibits heterogeneity. Moreover, the functions and activating/suppressing factors of each ILC subset were found to differ among both organs and types of tissue. Therefore, in this review, we summarize our current knowledge of ILCs by focusing on the organ/tissue-specific features of each subset to understand their roles in various organs. We also discuss ILCs' involvement in human inflammatory diseases in various organs and potential therapeutic/preventive strategies that target ILCs.

Abstract
Since the airways are constantly exposed to various pathogens and foreign antigens, various kinds of cells in the airways—including structural cells and immune cells—interact to form a precise defense system against pathogens and antigens that involve both innate immunity and acquired immunity. Accumulating evidence suggests that innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) play critical roles in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis, defense against pathogens and the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, especially at body surface mucosal sites such as the airways. ILCs are activated mainly by cytokines, lipid mediators and neuropeptides that are produced by surrounding cells, and they produce large amounts of cytokines that result in inflammation. In addition, ILCs can change their phenotype in response to stimuli from surrounding cells, which enables them to respond promptly to microenvironmental changes. ILCs exhibit substantial heterogeneity, with different phenotypes and functions depending on the organ and type of inflammation, presumably because of differences in microenvironments. Thus, ILCs may be a sensitive detector of microenvironmental changes, and analysis of their phenotype and function at local sites may enable us to better understand the microenvironment in airway diseases. In this review, we aimed to identify molecules that either positively or negatively influence the function and/or plasticity of ILCs and the sources of the molecules in the airways in order to examine the pathophysiology of airway inflammatory diseases and facilitate the issues to be solved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play critical roles in induction and exacerbation of allergic airway inflammation. Thus clarification of the mechanisms that underlie regulation of ILC2 activation has received significant attention. Although innate lymphoid cells are divided into 3 major subsets that mirror helper effector T-cell subsets, counterpart subsets of regulatory T cells have not been well characterized. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the factors that induce regulatory innate lymphoid cells (ILCregs). METHODS IL-10+ ILCregs induced from ILC2s by using retinoic acid (RA) were analyzed with RNA-sequencing and flow cytometry. ILCregs were evaluated in human nasal tissue from healthy subjects and patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and lung tissue from house dust mite- or saline-treated mice. RESULTS RA induced IL-10 secretion by human ILC2s but not type 2 cytokines. IL-10+ ILCregs, which were converted from ILC2s by means of RA stimulation, expressed a regulatory T cell-like signature with expression of IL-10, cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated protein 4, and CD25, with downregulated effector type 2-related markers, such as chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule on TH2 cells and ST2, and suppressed activation of CD4+ T cells and ILC2s. ILCregs were rarely detected in human nasal tissue from healthy subjects or lung tissue from saline-treated mice, but numbers were increased in nasal tissue from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and in lung tissue from house dust mite-treated mice. Enzymes for RA synthesis were upregulated in airway epithelial cells during type 2 inflammation in vivo and by IL-13 in vitro. CONCLUSION We have identified a unique immune regulatory and anti-inflammatory pathway by which RA converts ILC2s to ILCregs. Interactions between airway epithelial cells and ILC2s play an important roles in the generation of ILCregs.

Abstract
Chitin, which is a major component of house dust mites (HDM), fungi, crustaceans, etc., can activate immune cells, suggesting that it contributes to development of allergic disorders such as asthma. Although the pathophysiological sensitization route of asthmatic patients to allergens is considered via the respiratory tract, the roles of intranasally-administered chitin in development of asthma remain unclear. After ovalbumin (OVA) challenge, development of airway inflammation was profoundly exacerbated in mice sensitized with OVA in the presence of chitin. The exacerbation was dependent on IL-33, but not IL-25, thymic stromal lymphopoietin or IL-17A. Chitin enhanced IL-33-dependent IL-1β production by dendritic cells (DCs). Furthermore, chitin- and IL-33-stimulated DC-derived IL-1β promoted OVA-specific Th2 cell activation, resulting in aggravation of OVA-induced airway inflammation. These findings indicate the adjuvant activity of chitin via a new mechanism and provide important clues for development of therapeutics for allergic disorders caused by HDM, fungi and crustaceans.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Direct contact of food proteins with eczematous lesions is thought to be the main cause of epicutaneous sensitization. To further investigate the development and pathogenesis of food allergy in vivo, a good mouse model of epicutaneous sensitization is needed. However, a fundamental problem in that regard is that the optimal age for epicutaneous sensitization of mice is unknown. In this study, we attempted to elucidate that optimal age. METHODS Dorsal skin of wild-type BALB/c female mice (1, 3, 8 and 24 weeks old) was shaved, depilated and tape-stripped. A Finn chamber containing a 20-μl-aliquot of 20-mg/ml (OVA) was applied to the tape-stripped skin on 3 consecutive days/week, for 3 weeks. The body temperature was measured after intraperitoneal OVA challenge. Serum OVA-specific IgE titers and OVA-induced cytokine production by spleen cells were measured by ELISA. Dendritic cells (DCs) that migrated to the draining lymph nodes were quantified by FITC-labeled OVA and flow cytometry. The mRNA expression levels in the dorsal skin were measured by qPCR. RESULTS A significant age-dependent body temperature decline was observed after OVA challenge. The serum OVA-specific IgE titer, OVA-induced cytokine production (i.e., IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13) by spleen cells, and number of FITC-OVA-engulfing DCs increased with age. In addition, mRNA for IL-33, but not TSLP or IL-25, was significantly induced in the skin by tape-stripping and increased with age. CONCLUSIONS Twenty-four-week-old mice showed the greatest DC migration, Th2 polarization, IgE production and body temperature decline. Skin-derived IL-33 is likely to play key roles in those changes.

Abstract
Although human term placenta-derived primary cytotrophoblasts (pCTBs) represent a good human syncytiotrophoblast (STB) model, in vitro culture of pCTBs is not always easily accomplished. Y-27632, a specific inhibitor of Rho-associated coiled-coil containing kinases (ROCK), reportedly prevented apoptosis and improved cell-to-substrate adhesion and culture stability of dissociated cultured human embryonic stem cells and human corneal endothelial cells. The Rho kinase pathway regulates various kinds of cell behavior, some of which are involved in pCTB adhesion and differentiation. In this study, we examined Y-27632's potential for enhancing pCTB adhesion, viability and differentiation. pCTBs were isolated from term, uncomplicated placentas by trypsin-DNase I-Dispase II treatment and purified by HLA class I-positive cell depletion. Purified pCTBs were cultured on uncoated plates in the presence of epidermal growth factor (10 ng/ml) and various concentrations of Y-27632. pCTB adhesion to the plates was evaluated by phase-contrast imaging, viability was measured by WST-8 assay, and differentiation was evaluated by immunofluorescence staining, expression of fusogenic genes and hCG-β production. Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1; one of the effector proteins of the Rho family) and protein kinase A (PKA) involvement was evaluated by using their specific inhibitors, NSC-23766 and H-89. We found that Y-27632 treatment significantly enhanced pCTB adhesion to plates, viability, cell-to-cell fusion and hCG-β production, but showed no effects on pCTB proliferation or apoptosis. Furthermore, NSC-23766 and H-89 each blocked the effects of Y-27632, suggesting that Y-27632 significantly enhanced pCTB differentiation via Rac1 and PKA activation. Our findings suggest that Rac1 and PKA may be interactively involved in CTB differentiation, and addition of Y-27632 to cultures may be an effective method for creating a stable culture model for studying CTB and STB biology in vitro.

Abstract
A 25‐year‐old Japanese woman suffered from repeated respiratory tract infections. Because of her characteristic medical history and imaging findings, we suspected primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) and performed a transbronchial biopsy. The biopsy revealed complex abnormalities of the ciliary structure including cleavage of the B‐subfibers observed by transmission electron microscopy analysis and the complete loss of ciliary motion by video analysis. Genetic examinations to diagnose PCD have progressed in recent years. However, in this case, the well‐known genetic mutations in causal genes of PCD were not detected via whole‐exome sequencing of the blood. Cleavage of the B‐subfibers in patients with PCD has never been reported. This case appears to be the first report of this PCD subtype in humans.

Abstract
Background Psychiatrists in clinical practice face a number of stressors related to patient care, such as overwork. On the other hand, they gain satisfaction from their work. We quantified and assessed the potential relationship between levels of occupational stress, satisfaction, and depressive symptoms among Japanese clinical psychiatrists. We surveyed 206 psychiatrists with up to 15 years of clinical experience who primarily worked in patient care. Levels of occupational stress and occupational satisfaction were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale and the level of depressive symptoms was measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Workplace stressors and satisfiers were also evaluated. Results Out of 206 psychiatrists, 154 (74.8%) responded to the survey. The respondents’ mean (SD) age was 34.3 (5.2) years. The estimated prevalence of significant depressive symptoms was 34.4% (n = 53), and the experienced frequent violence was 14.9% (n = 23). The level of depressive symptoms was inversely correlated with the level of occupational satisfaction. In respondents who reported a moderate level of occupational stress, having fewer depressive symptoms was associated with higher occupational satisfaction, but this association was not significant in those who reported a high level of stress. In addition, high occupational satisfaction was associated with interest towards work content, ability to work at one’s discretion, opportunities for growth and career development, and ease of communication with supervisors and colleagues. Conclusions Nearly one-third of the psychiatrists screened positive for significant depressive symptoms. Having fewer depressive symptoms was associated with higher occupational satisfaction in those who reported a moderate level of stress. Implications from the present findings may be to enhance occupational satisfaction by discussing work interests with a supervisor, as well as increased opportunities for career development, which may prevent depression among psychiatrists.

Abstract
We report a 3-year-old boy with enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157-associated hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). His anemia was associated with decreased reticulocyte count and persisted after the recovery from HUS. Superinfection of parvovirus B19 (PVB19) was proven by a transient febrile episode associated with IgM antibodies to the virus and the delayed appearance of IgG antibodies and typical rashes. We conclude that PVB19 infection could induce severe persistent anemia in EHEC-associated HUS. Reticulocytopenia is a clue to the diagnosis in such cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to obtain information on the degree of knowledge and understanding about the current systems of health care and welfare held by the elderly, in order to achieve comprehensiveness in family practice. METHOD We conducted a study on the awareness of healthy elderly persons by direct interview. The study was carried out in Kuni Village in a remote mountainous region in Japan, where the elderly population accounts for 24.8% of the total population. The subjects were self-dependent in their daily living activities and were aged 65 years and older. RESULTS The subjects' knowledge of health care and welfare systems was generally good, and the degree of their utilization of these systems was also good. But 83.3% of those who did not want to utilize the welfare system indicated their preference to depend on their family for support. CONCLUSION Family physicians must endeavour to offer comprehensive care to their patients by including these systems for rapidly ageing communities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the usefulness of mutual rotation by family physicians in providing an evaluation of rural medical practices. METHODS Between June and October 1994, each of four family physicians rotated to the practices of the other three, where they worked as a transient locum for 4-5 days and evaluated each practice. They were field faculty physicians of the Department of Community and Family Medicine, Jichi Medical School, and based at general practices accredited for undergraduate and postgraduate training. Two school-based faculty physicians also participated in the study as spare members. RESULTS The rotation was conducted four times to complete the mutual rotation programme. There was some difference in evaluation among the practices, which indicated the characteristics of the practices. The evaluation accorded relatively well among the participants. CONCLUSIONS Mutual rotation by family physicians provides an objective and practicable evaluation of general practices and contribute to upholding their quality, which is crucial to medical education.

Abstract
The peanut agglutinin (PNA) receptors isolated from a tumor cell line could elicit antitumor activity by an active immunization. We report here the results of active immunization with a human PNA receptor glycoprotein on the tumor progression of cancer patients. A remarkable regression of cancer and a prolonged life span in patients were obtained after active immunization with a tumor cell-associated carbohydrate antigen.
