Abstract
OBJECTIVES Angola has a high burden of unregistered children and efforts to increase birth-registration coverage have not yielded the desired progress. This study aimed to examine sociodemographic and healthcare-related factors associated with birth registration in Angola. STUDY DESIGN Secondary data analysis of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Handbook randomised controlled trial conducted in Benguela province, Angola and involving 11,006 women. METHODS For this analysis, we excluded women with missing data on birth registration (n = 1424), multiple gestation (n = 243), and those with infant death (n = 6). The final study population included 9333 women with infants under one year of age. We used multilevel mixed-effects logistic regression analysis to determine sociodemographic and healthcare-related factors associated with the registration of a child's birth. RESULTS Of the 9333 live births, 25% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 13.4-41.8) were registered, while 21% (95%CI = 11.1-35.7) were registered with certificate. There were higher proportions of registered births among mothers who possessed the MCH Handbook across various demographic and healthcare indicators. Birth registration was most significantly associated with facility-based delivery (odds ratio [OR] = 2.97; 95%CI = 2.45-3.61), possession of MCH Handbook (OR = 2.04; 95%CI = 1.70-2.46), and complete scheduled vaccination visits (OR = 1.69; 95%CI = 1.44-1.97). Higher maternal age and education level, belonging to the highest wealth quintile, beginning antenatal care in the first trimester, attending at least four antenatal care visits, and using postnatal care services were positively associated with registration of birth. CONCLUSION Maternal healthcare factors showed significant associations with birth registration and integrating birth-registration processes with certain maternal and child health services may further raise awareness and boost registration levels in Angola.

Abstract
BackgroundGenome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified 29 disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for systemic sclerosis (SSc) in non-human leukocyte antigen (HLA) regions (1-7). While these GWASs have clarified genetic architectures of SSc, study subjects were mainly Caucasians limiting application of the findings to Asians.ObjectivesThe study was conducted to identify novel causal variants for SSc specific to Japanese subjects as well as those shared with European population. We also aimed to clarify mechanistic effects of the variants on pathogenesis of SSc.MethodsA total of 114,108 subjects comprising 1,499 cases and 112,609 controls were enrolled in the two-staged study leading to the ever-largest Asian GWAS for SSc. After applying a strict quality control both for genotype and samples, imputation was conducted using the reference panel of the phase 3v5 1,000 genome project data combined with a high-depth whole-genome sequence data of 3,256 Japanese subjects. We conducted logistic regression analyses and also combined the Japanese GWAS results with those of Europeans (6) by an inverse-variance fixed-effect model. Polygenicity and enrichment of functional annotations were evaluated by linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), Haploreg and IMPACT programs. We also constructed polygenic risk score (PRS) to predict SSc development.ResultsWe identified three (FCRLA-FCGR, TNFAIP3, PLD4) and four (EOMES, ESR1, SLC12A5, TPI1P2) novel loci in Japanese GWAS and a trans-population meta-analysis, respectively. One of Japanese novel risk SNPs, rs6697139, located within FCGR gene clusters had a strong effect size (OR 2.05, P=4.9×10-11). We also found the complete LD variant, rs10917688, was positioned in cis-regulatory element and binding motif for an immunomodulatory transcription factor IRF8 in B cells, another genome-wide significant locus in our trans-ethnic meta-analysis and the previous European GWAS. Notably, the association of risk allele of rs10917688 was significant only in the presence of the risk allele of the IRF8. Intriguingly, rs10917688 was annotated as one enhancer-related histone marks, H3K4me1, in B cells, implying that FCGR gene(s) in B cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SSc. Furhtermore, significant heritability enrichment of active histone marks and a transcription factor C-Myc were found in B cells both in European and Japanese populations by LDSC and IMPACT, highlighting a possibility of a shared disease mechanism where abnormal B-cell activation may be one of the key drivers for the disease development. Finally, PRS using effects sizes of European GWAS moderately fit in the development of Japanese SSc (AUC 0.593), paving a path to personalized medicine for SSc.ConclusionOur study identified seven novel susceptibility loci in SSc. Downstream analyses highlighted a novel disease mechanism of SSc where an interactive role of FCGR gene(s) and IRF8 may accelerate the disease development and B cells may play a key role on the pathogenesis of SSc.References[1]F.

Abstract
Abstract:We have evaluated rat glomerular microcirculation under in-vivo condition with an intravital videomicroscope. To measure erythrocyte velocities, a line segment was set along the glomerular capillaries in time-sequential videotaped images and then a spatiotemporal image was constructed along that segment. The angle of striped pattern in the spatio-temporal image which reflects the erythrocyte velocity, was estimated to compute erythrocyte velocity vector mapping. We found that erythrocyte velocities in rat glomeruli were significantly faster in diabetic rats than in control rats (p <0.05). In conclusion, we have succeeded in quantitatively evaluating the in-vivo renal microcirculation with our videomicroscope system and by spatiotemporal image analyzing method.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the accuracy of visual diagnosis of tinea pedis (Athlete's foot) and tinea unguium (fungal nail infection), as well as to provide information on skin abnormalities that could help identify these diseases in aged care facilities (long-term care facilities (LTCFs) and nursing homes). METHOD A multicentre, cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a LTCF and two nursing homes. A dermatologist observed the skin abnormalities in the participants' interdigital and plantar areas, to screen for tinea pedis, and in the participants' toenails, to screen for tinea unguium. If abnormalities were noted, samples such as scales or toenails were collected and examined using direct microscopy. The accuracy of the macroscopic observation for each skin abnormality was examined. RESULTS A total of 173 residents were recruited. The accuracy of clinical diagnosis using macroscopic observation was relatively low. The sensitivities and specificities for clinical diagnosis were 0.37 and 0.95 for tinea pedis in the interdigital areas, 0.47 and 0.94 for tinea pedis in the plantar areas, and 0.80 and 0.61 for tinea unguium in toenails, respectively. Scales in the plantar areas and discoloration of the toenails were more frequently observed in residents with tinea pedis and tinea unguium than in those without them. CONCLUSION Several skin abnormalities were observed in the residents recruited in this study, but there was insufficient correlation with tinea pedis and tinea unguium to be used for screening.

Abstract
We previously described the development of a highly-invasive, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) variant using serial orthotopic implantation of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer in nude mice. The isolated variant is highly invasive in the mammary gland and metastasized to lymph nodes in 10 of 12 mice compared with 2 of 12 of the parental cell line. OBP-401 is a telomerase-dependent cancer-specific, green fluorescent protein (GFP)-expressing adenovirus. OBP-401 was used to infect parental MDA-MB-231P cells and high-metastatic MDA-MB-231H and MDA-MB-231HLN isolated from a lymph node metastasis and MDA-MB-231HLM isolated from a lung metastasis. Time-course imaging showed that OBP-401 labeled MDA-MB-231HP, MDA-MB-231HLN, and MDA-MB-231HLM cells more brightly than MDA-MB-231 parental cells. OBP-401 killed MDA-MB-231H, MDA-MB-231HLN, and MDA-MB-231HLM cells more efficiently than MDA-MB-231P parental cells. These results indicate that OBP-401 could infect, label and then kill high-metastatic MDA-MB-231 more efficiently than low-metastatic MDA-MB-231.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antimelanoma differentiation-associated protein (anti-MDA)5 antibodies are associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) in patients with clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) or dermatomyositis (DM). OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the relevance of monitoring anti-MDA5 antibody levels for the management of RP-ILD in patients with CADM or DM. METHODS Twelve patients with CADM (n = 10) or DM (n = 2) accompanied by RP-ILD were included. Baseline characteristics and outcomes were recorded. Serial measurements of anti-MDA5 antibody levels were measured. All patients were treated with corticosteroids, tacrolimus and intravenous cyclophosphamide. RESULTS All patients achieved RP-ILD remission after combined immunosuppressive therapy for a mean of 6·8 months, with significant decreases noted in the mean anti-MDA5 antibody levels at remission. Six (50%) patients became anti-MDA5 antibody negative after therapy. After a mean follow-up of 31 months, RP-ILD relapse was observed in four (33%) patients in both the anti-MDA5 antibody sustained positive group and the negative conversion group. However, relapsed patients in the sustained positive group relapsed earlier than those in the negative conversion group. Thus, a decrease in anti-MDA5 antibody levels during remission was associated with longer remission. Relapses were associated with a reincrease of anti-MDA5 antibody levels in four of four (100%) patients. In contrast, none of the patients without reincrease in anti-MDA5 antibody exhibited symptoms of relapse during follow-up. Therefore, reincrease in anti-MDA5 antibody levels was associated with relapse. CONCLUSIONS The anti-MDA5 antibody level is a novel parameter for monitoring and a good predictor of RP-ILD relapse in patients with CADM or DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The direct microscopy, fungal culture and histopathology that are necessary for the definitive diagnosis of tinea unguium are disadvantageous in that detection sensitivity is affected by the level of skill of the person who performs the testing, and the procedures take a long time. OBJECTIVES The Dermatophyte Test Strip, which was developed recently, can simply and easily detect filamentous fungi in samples in a short time, and there are expectations for its use as a method for tinea unguium screening. With this in mind, we examined the detection capacity of the Dermatophyte Test Strip for tinea unguium. METHODS The presence or absence of fungal elements was judged by direct microscopy and Dermatophyte Test Strip in 165 nail samples obtained from residents in nursing homes for the elderly. Moreover, the minimum sample amount required for positive determination was estimated using 32 samples that showed positive results by Dermatophyte Test Strip. RESULTS The Dermatophyte Test Strip showed 98% sensitivity, 78% specificity, 84·8% positive predictive value, 97% negative predictive value and a positive and negative concordance rate of 89·1%. The minimum sample amount required for positive determination was 0·002-0·722 mg. CONCLUSIONS The Dermatophyte Test Strip showed very high sensitivity and negative predictive value, and was considered a potentially useful method for tinea unguium screening. Positive determination was considered to be possible with a sample amount of about 1 mg.

Abstract
Isolated para-arotic lymph node recurrence of endometrial cancer occurs occasionally, but management of such patients has been controversial. The authors performed cytoreductive surgery in four patients with isolated para-aortic lymph node metastasis of recurrent endometrial cancer. They resected metastatic foci by laparoscopic method for three cases and by laparotomy for one case. After the surgery, three cases underwent radiation therapy and one case was given chemotherapy as adjuvant therapy. After the treatment for recurrence, progression-free interval was from 64 to 127 months and all cases had no evidence of disease. Cytoreductive surgery may improve prognosis of isolated para-aortic lymph node metastasis of recurrent endometrial cancer. As laparoscopic surgery is superior to laparotomy in terms of less invasiveness, further examinations will reveal that it is feasible for such an isolated lymph node recurrence situation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The authors conducted this retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy of radiotherapy (RT) for high-risk patients with adenocarcinoma (AC) compared with chemotherapy (CT) after radical hysterectomy. MATERIALS AND METHODS There were 263 patients with AC and 58 with adenosquamous cell carcinoma (ASCC). Of these 321 patients, 151 received adjuvant treatment. Of these 151 patients, 69 received radiotherapy (RT) alone, including concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with weekly cisdiamminedichloroplatinum (CDDP), 64 patients received CT alone, and 18 patients received concomitant RT and CT (RT + CT). RESULTS The five-year overall survival (OS) was 70.9% for patients receiving RT, 79.2% for CT, and 66.2% for RT + CT. Adjuvant treatment did not affect the incidence or the pattern of recurrence. The incidence of lymph node involvement was 9.0% in Stage Ib1, 23.9% in Stage Ib2, 30.8% in Stage IIa, and 41.2% in Stage IIb. CONCLUSIONS Adjuvant CT may be effective for high-risk patients with cervical adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Vaccination of poultry is one promising strategy to mitigate Salmonella infection in poultry and, in turn, humans as well. We evaluated the efficacy of outer membrane protein A (OmpA) as a novel vaccine candidate against Salmonella in poultry. Native OmpA purified from Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis was mixed with adjuvant and administered intramuscularly to 41-d-old chicks. The vaccinated birds showed no decrease in cecal excretion and tissue colonization compared with the unvaccinated birds after oral challenge with 10(9) cfu of the homologous strain at 28 d postimmunization. However, this vaccination induced an increased level of serum anti-OmpA IgG. Similar results were obtained in the replication experiments using a recombinant OmpA with single and double doses. For the development of more effective component vaccines for avian salmonellosis, the vaccine efficacy of outer membrane proteins other than OmpA and route of immunization other than parenteral administration should be evaluated with regard to protection and immune responses, including mucosal IgA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although dermokine-β, a glycoprotein expressed in epithelial cells, does not have significant homology to other proteins, its carboxyl-terminal domain shares a high pI value with many cytokines, suggesting similar functions. OBJECTIVE To better understand the biology of dermokine, we here determined its localization under pathological conditions and examined factors that regulate its expression. METHODS We generated an anti-human dermokine-β/γ monoclonal antibody cross-reacting with the mouse protein. Using this antibody, immunohistological staining and Western blotting of dermokine-β/γ were performed with various tissue samples. RESULTS Although human dermokine-β/γ was expressed in almost all granular layers, upper spinous layers of the skin were also stained with anti-dermokine-β/γ antibody in inflammatory skin disorders. Dermokine-β/γ was expressed in keratoacanthoma and a part of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). However, dermokine-β/γ was not detected in poorly differentiated SCC or tumours derived from non-keratinocytes. In mice, dermokine-β/γ-expressed keratinocytes were increased in models of contact hypersensitivity, ultraviolet-irradiated skin injury and wound healing. Consistent with expanded distribution in inflammatory skin diseases, proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β, interleukin-12, and tumour necrosis factor-α augmented dermokine-β/γ expression in cultured human keratinocytes. In contrast, growth factors including epidermal growth factor, insulin-like growth factor-I, keratinocyte growth factor and transforming growth factor-α significantly reduced dermokine expression. CONCLUSION These results provide novel insights into the physiological and pathological significance of dermokine in the epidermis.
