Abstract
AIM To evaluate the effectiveness of an individualized nutritional education program in promoting adequate nutrient intake in pregnant women. METHODS A stratified randomized controlled trial was conducted. Participants were stratified by factors affecting the primary outcome and randomly assigned to the intervention or control groups. Intervention group participants received an individualized 30-min booklet-based education program in their 2nd and 3rd trimesters; the control group received usual care. The primary outcome was protein intake after the intervention, which was compared between the intervention and control groups. Secondary outcomes included comparing the amount of increase of protein before and after the intervention. Nutrient intake was measured using a self-administered short dietary history questionnaire, and analyses of covariance and t tests were performed. RESULTS Of the 130 participants, 66 were assigned to the intervention group and 64 to the control group. There was no difference in protein intake between the two groups after the intervention (p = .051, 95% CI [-0.021, 12.4]). Comparing the increase in protein intake before and after intervention, the intervention group was 7.4 g/day higher than that of the control group (p = .040; F = 4.31; effect size = 0.36). CONCLUSIONS The primary outcome, a comparison of protein intake between the groups after the program, revealed no significant differences. However, on comparing the amount of protein increase before and after the intervention, the intervention group's increase was significantly higher than that of the control group. Results indicate the potential for individualized face-to-face interventions for pregnant women in Japan.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Salvage radiotherapy (SRT) to the prostate bed is the only curative treatment for patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP). Although several systematic reviews indicated that a dose escalation in the range of 60-70 Gy improved biochemical control, the effects of radiation doses on clinical relapse after SRT remain unclear. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between radiation doses and clinical relapse-free survival (cRFS) after SRT. MATERIALS/METHODS We identified 295 eligible patients receiving SRT for biochemically recurrent prostate cancer after RP between 2005 and 2018 at 15 institutions. Sixteen patients (5%) received short-term (< 6 months) androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) following RP and/or concurrently with SRT. SRT was delivered to the prostate and seminal vesicle bed using photon beams at a median (range) dose of 66 Gy (61-85) in 1.8-3.0 Gy fractions. The primary outcome was cRFS. Clinical relapse was identified on radiological imaging and/or biopsy and included local recurrence, lymph node metastasis, and distant metastasis. In all analyses, doses were recalculated as an equivalent dose in 2-Gy fractions (EQD2) with α/β = 1.5 Gy. Clinical RFS between the EQD2 ≥ 66 Gy (n = 229) and EQD2 < 66 Gy (n = 66) groups were compared using the Log-rank test, followed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses and a subgroup analysis. RESULTS The median follow-up duration was 73 months. Among patients with BCR (n = 119), 79 of 96 (82%) in the EQD2 ≥ 66 Gy group and 21 of 23 (91%) in the EQD2 < 66 Gy group received second salvage ADT (p = 0.36). Among all patients (n = 295), clinical relapse was identified in 22 (7%) patients after SRT. Six-year biochemical relapse-free survival (bRFS), cRFS, cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS) rates were 58%, 93%, 98%, and 94%, respectively. Six-year cRFS rates were 94% (95% confidence interval [CI], 90-97) in the EQD2 ≥ 66 Gy group and 87% (95% CI, 75-93) in the EQD2 < 66 Gy group (p = 0.020). The multivariate analysis revealed that EQD2 < 66 Gy, Gleason score ≥ 8, seminal vesicle involvement, and PSA at BCR ≥ 0.5 ng/ml correlated with clinical relapse (p = 0.0016, 0.014, 0.011, and 0.027, respectively). The subgroup analysis showed the consistent benefit of EQD2 ≥ 66 Gy in patients across most subgroups including PSA at BCR after RP, extracapsular extension, and age at SRT. CONCLUSION This large multi-institutional observational study demonstrated that a higher SRT dose (EQD2 ≥ 66 Gy) resulted in superior cRFS. The present result supports the dose recommendations in the 2023 National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines (64-72 Gy) even in terms of clinical relapse. Prospective trial is warranted to investigate an upper threshold for optimal SRT dose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mothers in urban Japan are at high risk for postpartum depression. Previous research indicates that parents who understand their baby's behavior may have lower risks for postpartum depression. HUG Your Baby helps parents understand their baby's behavior. AIM The purpose of this longitudinal study was to determine whether mothers receiving prenatal HUG Your Baby teaching would have better outcomes than a control group with respect to postpartum depression and related factors. METHODS Pregnant women, after thirty weeks' gestation, were recruited to either the intervention or the control group. The intervention group received HUG Your Baby education, which teaches how to recognize and respond to a baby's behavior. The control group received a leaflet and regular, prenatal treatment. Participants completed the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale, and three other scales at one and three months, postpartum. Questions about knowledge of baby's behavior was administered prenatally, and at one and three months, postpartum. FINDINGS Data derived from 221 mothers (Control 100, Intervention 121) were included in the analysis. Researchers found significant differences regarding postpartum depression at one and three months and parenting confidence at one month. Scores were favorable for the intervention group. CONCLUSIONS The HUG Your Baby program has a positive impact on preventing postpartum depression and increasing parenting confidence. It warrants wider implementation and evaluation in prenatal programs.

Abstract
We describe a successful surgical technique of abdominal trachelectomy and re-vaginoplasty for cervico-vaginal stenosis following unsuccessful uterovaginal anastomosis and vaginoplasty in a patient with congenital cervical and vaginal aplasia. After the surgical procedure, cervico-vaginal stenosis was resolved and periodic menstruation without dysmenorrhoea resumed. While long-term follow-up is essential to ensure successful pregnancy and delivery, we conclude that this novel surgical procedure is a promising alternative for improvement of the quality of life and normal sexual function, and for preservation of fertility in patients with cervical and vaginal aplasia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Team-midwifery care remains limited in Japan. To introduce changes to the midwifery system, an in-depth understanding of women's perception of receiving team-midwifery care is crucial. AIM This study aimed to describe women's experience of receiving team-midwifery care in Japan and to understand the central essence of this form of care. METHODS This study used a descriptive research design and involved focus group interviews in a birth clinic in central Tokyo. This birth clinic provided continuous team-midwifery care involving five to six midwives in one team from pregnancy to the postpartum period. Interview data were analysed by content analysis. The ethical review board of St. Luke's International Hospital, Tokyo approved this study (12-R178). FINDINGS Thirteen women who gave birth within 19 months were included. The women's experience of receiving team-midwifery care was described as "feelings of becoming closer and connected through a warm mutual relationship" with the midwives. The women felt that the midwives genuinely focused on their care and noticed their desire for their family to be involved. A trusting relationship was built through regular meetings. The women also described their experience as "a lasting feeling of ease and security". The midwives' continuity of care empowered the women even after their discharge. CONCLUSION The underlying assumption for the women's empowerment was the continuity of woman-centred care built through a trusting relationship between the women and the midwives. These important elements constitute the central essence of team-midwifery care which can be adopted regardless of the care system.

Abstract
The serine/threonine kinase AKT, also known as protein kinase B (PKB), is the major substrate to phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and consists of three paralogs: AKT1 (PKBα), AKT2 (PKBβ) and AKT3 (PKBγ). The PI3K/AKT pathway is normally activated by binding of ligands to membrane-bound receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) as well as downstream to G-protein coupled receptors and integrin-linked kinase. Through multiple downstream substrates, activated AKT controls a wide variety of cellular functions including cell proliferation, survival, metabolism, and angiogenesis in both normal and malignant cells. In human cancers, the PI3K/AKT pathway is most frequently hyperactivated due to mutations and/or overexpression of upstream components. Aberrant expression of RTKs, gain of function mutations in PIK3CA, RAS, PDPK1, and AKT itself, as well as loss of function mutation in AKT phosphatases are genetic lesions that confer hyperactivation of AKT. Activated AKT stimulates DNA repair, e.g. double strand break repair after radiotherapy. Likewise, AKT attenuates chemotherapy-induced apoptosis. These observations suggest that a crucial link exists between AKT and DNA damage. Thus, AKT could be a major predictive marker of conventional cancer therapy, molecularly targeted therapy, and immunotherapy for solid tumors. In this review, we summarize the current understanding by which activated AKT mediates resistance to cancer treatment modalities, i.e. radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and RTK targeted therapy. Next, the effect of AKT on response of tumor cells to RTK targeted strategies will be discussed. Finally, we will provide a brief summary on the clinical trials of AKT inhibitors in combination with radiochemotherapy, RTK targeted therapy, and immunotherapy.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Previous studies have shown that high density lipoprotein (HDL) is protective against cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, recent studies suggested that function of HDL was more important than HDL cholesterol levels. The present study aimed to clarify the relationship between modified HDL levels and CVD incidence.
Methods
LOX-1 (lectin-like oxidized LDL receptor) is the receptor that mediates modified LDL (low density lipoprotein) activity; however, some lipoproteins with apolipoprotein A1 (Apo A-1) are also bonded to LOX-1. In this study, serum LOX-1 ligand containing Apo A-1 was defined as modified HDL, which were measured by our new development method. We conducted a nested case-control study in a Japanese cohort study, involving 11,002 community dwellers. During 4.0 years follow-up, we observed 127 new CVD onsets. For each CVD case, age and sex matched three controls were randomly selected (N = 381). Serum samples collected at baseline survey stored at − 80 °C were used for the measurement of modified HDL. We estimated multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between modified HDL levels and CVD by conditional logistic regression.
Results
Modified HDL levels were associated with increased risk of CVD (OR for one unit increase of log transformed modified HDL, 2.05: 95% CI, 1.16-3.62) after adjustment for body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, lipid lowering agents, chronic kidney disease, smoking and alcohol drinking. The magnitude of OR was almost equivalent to those of hypertension and diabetes, which were 2.33 (95% CI, 1.37-3.98) and 2.61 (95% CI, 1.48-4.59), respectively. On the other hands, other lipids markers showed relatively weak associations with CVD.
Conclusions
Serum modified HDL, i.e., LOX-1 ligand containing Apo A-1, might be a novel predictive marker for CVD in apparently healthy individuals.
Key messages
Recent epidemiologic studies suggested that function of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) was more important than HDL cholesterol level itself to predict cardiovascular disease. Modified HDL measured by a novel cell-free, non-fluorescent method as LOX-1 ligand containing Apo A-1, was a predictive marker for CVD after adjusting for other traditional risk factors.

Abstract
Environmental contaminant exposure can pose significant risks to human health. Therefore, evaluating the impact of this exposure is of great importance; however, it is often difficult because both the molecular mechanism of disease and the mode of action of the contaminants are complex. We used network biology techniques to quantitatively assess the impact of environmental contaminants on the human interactome and diseases with a particular focus on seven major contaminant categories: persistent organic pollutants (POPs), dioxins, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), pesticides, perfluorochemicals (PFCs), metals, and pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs). We integrated publicly available data on toxicogenomics, the diseasome, protein-protein interactions (PPIs), and gene essentiality and found that a few contaminants were targeted to many genes, and a few genes were targeted by many contaminants. The contaminant targets were hub proteins in the human PPI network, whereas the target proteins in most categories did not contain abundant essential proteins. Generally, contaminant targets and disease-associated proteins were closely associated with the PPI network, and the closeness of the associations depended on the disease type and chemical category. Network biology techniques were used to identify environmental contaminants with broad effects on the human interactome and contaminant-sensitive biomarkers. Moreover, this method enabled us to quantify the relationship between environmental contaminants and human diseases, which was supported by epidemiological and experimental evidence. These methods and findings have facilitated the elucidation of the complex relationship between environmental exposure and adverse health outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that diabetes confers a higher relative risk of vascular mortality among women than among men, but whether this increased relative risk in women exists across age groups and within defined levels of other risk factors is uncertain. We aimed to determine whether differences in established risk factors, such as blood pressure, BMI, smoking, and cholesterol, explain the higher relative risks of vascular mortality among women than among men. METHODS In our meta-analysis, we obtained individual participant-level data from studies included in the Prospective Studies Collaboration and the Asia Pacific Cohort Studies Collaboration that had obtained baseline information on age, sex, diabetes, total cholesterol, blood pressure, tobacco use, height, and weight. Data on causes of death were obtained from medical death certificates. We used Cox regression models to assess the relevance of diabetes (any type) to occlusive vascular mortality (ischaemic heart disease, ischaemic stroke, or other atherosclerotic deaths) by age, sex, and other major vascular risk factors, and to assess whether the associations of blood pressure, total cholesterol, and body-mass index (BMI) to occlusive vascular mortality are modified by diabetes. RESULTS Individual participant-level data were analysed from 980 793 adults. During 9·8 million person-years of follow-up, among participants aged between 35 and 89 years, 19 686 (25·6%) of 76 965 deaths were attributed to occlusive vascular disease. After controlling for major vascular risk factors, diabetes roughly doubled occlusive vascular mortality risk among men (death rate ratio [RR] 2·10, 95% CI 1·97-2·24) and tripled risk among women (3·00, 2·71-3·33; χ2 test for heterogeneity p<0·0001). For both sexes combined, the occlusive vascular death RRs were higher in younger individuals (aged 35-59 years: 2·60, 2·30-2·94) than in older individuals (aged 70-89 years: 2·01, 1·85-2·19; p=0·0001 for trend across age groups), and, across age groups, the death RRs were higher among women than among men. Therefore, women aged 35-59 years had the highest death RR across all age and sex groups (5·55, 4·15-7·44). However, since underlying confounder-adjusted occlusive vascular mortality rates at any age were higher in men than in women, the adjusted absolute excess occlusive vascular mortality associated with diabetes was similar for men and women. At ages 35-59 years, the excess absolute risk was 0·05% (95% CI 0·03-0·07) per year in women compared with 0·08% (0·05-0·10) per year in men; the corresponding excess at ages 70-89 years was 1·08% (0·84-1·32) per year in women and 0·91% (0·77-1·05) per year in men. Total cholesterol, blood pressure, and BMI each showed continuous log-linear associations with occlusive vascular mortality that were similar among individuals with and without diabetes across both sexes. INTERPRETATION Independent of other major vascular risk factors, diabetes substantially increased vascular risk in both men and women. Lifestyle changes to reduce smoking and obesity and use of cost-effective drugs that target major vascular risks (eg, statins and antihypertensive drugs) are important in both men and women with diabetes, but might not reduce the relative excess risk of occlusive vascular disease in women with diabetes, which remains unexplained.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the 1990s, the Indonesian government launched programmes to train traditional birth attendants (TBAs) and increase the number of midwives. AIM To identify and compare the factors that influence women's choice of a midwife or a TBA for maternal healthcare in Indonesia. METHODS This study used a descriptive design for comparing women's choice of maternal healthcare. The participants were (1) married women, (2) experienced birth within two years, (3) living in a rural or urban village, and (4) capable of communicating in the Indonesia language. Three instruments were used: (1) traditional belief questionnaire, (2) preference for caregiver questionnaire, and (3) women-centered care (WCC) questionnaire which measured women's perceptions of care that they received during pregnancy. FINDINGS A total of 371 women participated in this study. All these subjects answered based on their most recent birth within the last two years. Of the 371 women, 207 (55.8%) chose a midwife and 164 (44.2%) chose a TBA for giving birth. Women choosing midwives were generally satisfied and perceived receiving WCC. Factors determining choice were (1) women's background, (2) perception of WCC, (3) satisfaction, (4) choice of antenatal care (ANC), (5) family encouragement, and (6) traditional beliefs. DISCUSSION The choice of caregivers was determined by not only education, parity, usual source of healthcare payment, and family encouragement but also traditional beliefs. CONCLUSION Indonesian women's choice of a midwife instead of a TBA for their maternal healthcare resulted in a higher satisfaction of care and more ANC visits.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Mutations in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), which encodes the catalytic subunit of PI3Kα, is one of the most frequent genomic alterations and is found in about 40% of estrogen receptor (ER)-positive, HER2 negative breast cancers. PIK3CA mutations promote the growth and proliferation of cancers via activation of the PI3K/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway and can mediate resistance to endocrine therapies in breast cancer. Although several clinical trials for PI3K inhibitors (PI3Kis) in ER-positive metastatic breast cancers are ongoing, the effects of PI3Kis on endocrine-resistant breast cancers with various characteristics and definitive biomarkers of PI3Kis are unclear. Using endocrine-resistant cells established in our laboratory, we evaluated the efficacy of PI3Ki in these cell lines and identified the characteristics associated with acquired resistance to PI3Kis in endocrine-resistant cells.
Results
Long-term estrogen deprivation-resistant (EDR) cell lines and fulvestrant-resistant cell lines (MFR and TFR) were established from MCF-7 and T-47D cells in our previous studies. These cell lines showed different ER expression levels, including high expression (EDR-1), low expression (EDR-2, -3), or no expression (MFR, TFR); all of these cell lines had the same PIK3CA mutations as the parental cell lines. The pan-class1 PI3Ki buparlisib (BKM120) and α-specific PI3K inhibitor alpelisib (BYL719) inhibited the proliferation of endocrine-resistant cell lines when compared with their parental cells. Among endocrine-resistant cells, MFR cells were dramatically inhibited by PI3Kis. Colony formation assays indicated that MFR cells were more sensitive to PI3Kis than other cells lines. Next, we established PI3Ki- and everolimus-resistant cell lines from EDR-1, EDR-2, and MFR cells using BKM120, BYL719, and everolimus. Analysis of the time required to generate resistant cells showed that MFR cells required twice as long to acquire resistance compared with EDR cells. Furthermore, the time required to acquire resistance to BYL719 was shorter than that for BKM120. BYL719-resistant (BYL-R) cells were effectively inhibited by BKM120 to a degree similar to that of parental cells; however, BYL-R cells lost sensitivity to BYL719 and everolimus. Evelolimus-resistant (EVE-R) cells were also the same. In contrast, BKM120-resistant (BKM-R) cells showed less sensitivity to BKM120, BYL719, and everolimus. In other words, the pan-PI3Ki BKM120 was able to inhibit the growth of BYL-R and EVE-R cells, whereas BYL719 and everolimus were not able to inhibit BKM-R cells sufficiently. In addition, there were no changes in ER expression in EDR-1, EDR-2, and MFR cells exposed to PI3Kis for 1 h. Interestingly, ER expression on EDR-2 cells with acquired resistance to PI3Kis was increased compared with that in parental cells.
Conclusion
Our findings showed that PI3Kis exhibited remarkable efficacy in all types of EDR cells, particularly in fulvestrant-resistant cell lines. In PI3Ki- and everolimus-resistant cell lines, BKM120 and BYL719 showed different effects, and BYL719 and everolimus may exhibit cross-resistance. Furthermore, PI3Kis were likely to change the expression of ER.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: CDK4/6 inhibitors have received FDA breakthrough therapy designation as 1st line treatment for advanced estrogen receptor positive breast cancer patients. However, the benefit offered by CDK4/6 inhibitors is individually different and furthermore acquired resistance to the drugs is monumental challenges. It is urgent need to search for the biomarker and understand the drug sensitivity and its alteration after acquired resistance.
Results: To identify the efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitors, we assessed IC50 of ribociclib in several cell lines. Luminal cell lines (MCF-7, T-47D) exhibited lower ribociclib IC50 than HER-2 (SK-BR-3) and triple negative cell lines (MDA-MB-231, BT-20). Immunoblot analysis of Luminal cell lines showed extremely lower levels of CDK6 compared with others. CDK6-transfected MCF-7 by means of expression vector reduced the sensitivity equivalent to MDA-MB-231 not only to ribociclib but also to palbociclib and abemaciclib. Protein level of ERα in CDK6-transfected MCF-7 stayed unchanged and fulvestrant sensitivity was unaltered as well.
Subsequently, we detect the efficacy of ribociclib in hormone resistant cell lines. Estrogen deprivation-resistant (EDR) cells (EDR1:ER-positive, EDR2:ER-negative) and fulvestrant resistance (MFR) cells (loss of ER expression) established from MCF-7 maintained ribocilib sensitivity to the same degree with MCF-7. No marked difference in IC50 was observed between EDR1/2 and MFR, and CDK6 expressions were comparable to MCF-7. These results suggest that high level of CDK6 expression weaken the sensitivity to CDK4/6 inhibitors. The inhibitors would provide more effective benefits to tumors expressing lower level of CDK6 than the higher, independent of hormone sensitivity.
To understand the characteristics in acquired resistance, ribociclib resistant cell lines (RIBR1/2) were established from EDR1 by long-term culture with ribociclib. RIBR designed lower level of p21, p27 and ERα by immunoblot analysis. EDR1 were promoted cell growth by estrogen addition, while RIBR were not. Further, ER activity of RIBR was intensely decreased, and mRNA levels of the ER target genes, PgR and EGR3 were also decreased. Therefore, the responsiveness to tamoxifen and fulvestrant were lost. On the other hand, PI3K inhibitor and mTOR inhibitor suppressed cell growth to the same extent as EDR1, suggesting that RIBR were reduced ER dependence and remain reliant on PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.
Conclusion: The possibility of CDK6 as a biomarker is corroborated by the finding that low level of CDK6 expression is positively correlated with the efficacy of CDK4/6 inhibitor. Further ER dependence had decreased after acquired CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance whereas the dependence on PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway still remain, indicating the inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway would be amenable to therapeutic target.

Abstract
Objective This study examined the association between sudden natural death and abdominal fat using postmortem computed tomography (CT) scans. Subjects and methods Postmortem CT images at the umbilical level of 241 subjects were used to measure abdominal areas of subcutaneous‐ and visceral fat, the rate of visceral fat and the waist circumference. Of the study subjects, 174 died of sudden natural death (130 men and 44 women), and 67 died of different causes (46 men and 21 women). All were between 40 and 75 years of age. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent abdominal parameters associated with sudden natural death. Results By univariate analysis, the areas of subcutaneous and visceral fat were significantly larger in sudden natural death than who died of different causes (subcutaneous fat, odds ratio [OR] = 1.004, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.000–1.007, p = 0.03; visceral fat, OR = 1.008, 95% CI = 1.003–1.013, p < 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that the area of visceral fat was an independent factor associated with the risk of sudden natural death (OR = 1.008, 95% CI = 1.002–1.015, p = 0.02). Conclusions Postmortem CT revealed that sudden natural death was related to abdominal fat deposits.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that several systemic conditions—such as obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes—are related to periodontitis. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between periodontitis and 5 components of metabolic syndrome—abdominal obesity, triglyceride level, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, blood pressure, and fasting blood sugar level—in 584 Japanese women. In multivariate analyses, persons exhibiting more components of metabolic syndrome had significantly higher odds ratios for a greater pocket depth and clinical attachment loss than did those with no components; the odds ratios for a greater pocket depth and clinical attachment loss of the persons exhibiting 4 or 5 components were 6.6 (95% confidence interval = 2.6–16.4) and 4.2 (95% confidence interval = 1.2–14.8), respectively. These results indicate that metabolic syndrome increases risk of periodontitis, and suggest that people exhibiting several components of metabolic syndrome should be encouraged to undergo a periodontal examination.

Abstract
Inflammation is hypothesized to play a significant role in the development of type 2 diabetes; however, reports on clinical inflammatory conditions are limited. Studies have suggested that periodontitis affects glucose control in diabetics. This community-based study examined the relationship between periodontitis and glucose tolerance status, including changes in status. The relationship between periodontal condition and the results of a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test was examined in 961 adults in 1998. Deep pockets (mean pocket depth > 2.0 mm) were significantly associated with impaired glucose tolerance and with diabetes as compared with shallow pockets (< 1.3 mm). In the subgroup with normal glucose tolerance 10 years previously, subjects who subsequently developed impaired glucose tolerance were significantly more likely to have deep pockets. Deep pockets were closely related to current glucose tolerance status and the development of glucose intolerance.

Abstract
Data on 68 146 hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCTs) (53% autologous and 47% allogeneic) gathered by 1566 teams from 77 countries and reported through their regional transplant organizations were analyzed by main indication, donor type and stem cell source for the year 2012. With transplant rates ranging from 0.1 to 1001 per 10 million inhabitants, more HSCTs were registered from unrelated 16 433 donors than related 15 493 donors. Grafts were collected from peripheral blood (66%), bone marrow (24%; mainly non-malignant disorders) and cord blood (10%). Compared with 2006, an increase of 46% total (57% allogeneic and 38% autologous) was observed. Growth was due to an increase in reporting teams (18%) and median transplant activity/team (from 38 to 48 HSCTs/team). An increase of 167% was noted in mismatched/haploidentical family HSCT. A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analysis revealed the global perspective of WBMT to be its major strength and identified potential to be the key professional body for patients and authorities. The limited data collection remains its major weakness and threat. In conclusion, global HSCT grows over the years without plateauing (allogeneic>autologous) and at different rates in the four World Health Organization regions. Major increases were observed in allogeneic, haploidentical HSCT and, to a lesser extent, in cord blood transplantation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this investigation was to elucidate the clinical value of intraoperative enteroscopy (IOE) for Crohn's disease, and to determine the value of IOE in predicting recurrent disease. METHODS In this study 27 patients requiring surgery were examined by both preoperative radiography and IOE. The findings obtained by these procedures in the remnant small intestine were compared. In 19 patients, the clinical course and colonoscopic or radiographic findings after surgery were analyzed. RESULTS Intestinal lesions were identified in 23 patients by IOE, and in 19 patients by radiography. Longitudinal ulcers were equivalently detected by IOE (63%) and radiography (56%), whereas small ulcers and inflammatory polyps were less frequently detected by radiography than by IOE (37% vs 74% and 19% vs 33%, respectively). Neither the presence nor the distribution of IOE findings was related to postoperative recurrence. CONCLUSIONS Whereas IOE demonstrates small intestinal lesions in detail, the procedure alone cannot predict postoperative recurrence in Crohn's disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE the objective of this study was to describe and compare perinatal and neonatal outcomes of women who received care from independent midwives practicing home births and at birth centres in Tokyo. DESIGN a retrospective cohort study. SETTINGS birth centres and homes serviced by independent midwives in Tokyo. PARTICIPANTS of the 43 eligible independent midwives 19 (44%) (10 assisted birth at birth centres, nine assisted home birth) participated in the study. A total of 5477 women received care during their pregnancy and gave birth assisted by these midwives between 2001 and 2006. METHODS researchers conducted a retrospective chart review of women's individual data. Collected data included demographic characteristics, process of pregnancy and perinatal and neonatal outcomes. We also collected data about independent midwives and their practice. FINDINGS of the 5477 women, 83.9% gave birth at birth centres and 16.1% gave birth at home. The average age was 31.7 years old and the majority (70.6%) were multiparas. All women had vaginal spontaneous deliveries, with no vacuum, forceps or caesarean section interventions. No maternal fatalities were reported, nor were breech or multiple births. The average duration of the first and second stages of labour was 14.9 hours for primiparas and 6.2 hours for multiparas. Most women (97.1%) gave birth within 24 hours of membrane rupture. Maternal position during labour varied and family attended birth was common. The average blood loss was 371.3mL, while blood loss over 500mL was 22.6% and over 1000mL was 3.6%. Nearly 60% of women had intact perinea. There were few preterm births (0.6%) and post mature births (1.3%). Infant's average birth weight was 3126g and 0.5% were low-birthweight-infants, while 3.3% had macrosomia. Among primiparas, the birth centre group had more women experiencing an excess of 500mL blood loss compared to the home birth group (27.2% versus 17.6% respectively; RR 1.54; 95%CI 1.10 to 2.16). Multiparas delivering at birth centres were more likely to have a blood loss over 500mL (RR1.28; 95%CI 1.07 to 1.53) and over 1000mL (RR1.75; 95%CI 1.04 to 2.82) compared to women birthing at home. CONCLUSION our results for birth outcomes with independent midwives at birth centres and home births in Japan indicated a high degree of safety and evidence-based practice. This study had some limitations because of its incomplete data and low response rate. However, this is one of the few studies that reported outcomes of Japanese independent midwives and the safety of their practice. A birth registry system would provide us with more accurate and complete information of all childbirths with which to evaluate the safety of independent Japanese midwives.

Abstract
The palisade vessels present at the distal end of the esophagus are considered to be a landmark of the esophagogastric junction and indispensable for diagnosis of columnar-lined esophagus on the basis of the Japanese criteria. Here we clarified the features of normal palisade vessels at the esophagogastric junction using magnifying endoscopy. We prospectively studied palisade vessels in 15 patients undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy using a GIF-H260Z instrument (Olympus Medical Systems Co., Tokyo, Japan). All views of the palisade vessels were obtained at the maximum magnification power in the narrow band imaging mode. We divided the area in which palisade vessels were present into three sections: the area from the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) to about 1 cm orad within the esophagus (Section 1); the area between sections 1 and 3 (Section 2); and the area from the upper limit of the palisade vessels to about 1 cm distal within the esophagus (Section 3). In each section, we analyzed the vessel density, caliber of the palisade vessels, and their branching pattern. The vessel density in Sections 1, 2, and 3 was 9.1 ± 2.1, 8.0 ± 2.6, and 3.3 ± 1.3 per high-power field (mean ± standard deviation [SD]), respectively, and the differences were significant between Sections 1 and 2 (P= 0.0086) and between Sections 2 and 3 (P < 0.0001). The palisade vessel caliber in Sections 1, 2, and 3 was 127.6 ± 52.4 µm, 149.6 ± 58.6 µm, and 199.5 ± 75.1 µm (mean ± SD), respectively, and the differences between Sections 1 and 2, and between Sections 2 and 3, were significant (P < 0.0001). With regard to branching form, the frequency of branching was highest in Section 1, and the 'normal Y' shape was observed more frequently than in Sections 2 and 3. Toward the oral side, the frequency of branching diminished, and the frequency of the 'upside down Y' shape increased. The differences in branching form were significant among the three sections (P < 0.0001). These results indicate that the density of palisade vessels is highest near the SCJ, and that towards their upper limit they gradually become more confluent and show an increase of thickness. Within a limited area near the SCJ, observations of branching form suggest that palisade vessels merge abruptly on the distal side. We have demonstrated that palisade vessels are a useful marker for endoscopic recognition of the lower esophagus.

Abstract
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a central regulator of tumor progression in human cancers. Cetuximab is an anti-EGFR antibody that has been approved for use in oncology. Previously we investigated mechanisms of resistance to cetuximab using a model derived from the non-small cell lung cancer line NCI-H226. We demonstrated that cetuximab-resistant clones (CtxR) had increased nuclear localization of the EGFR. This process was mediated by Src family kinases (SFK), and nuclear EGFR played a role in resistance to cetuximab. To better understand SFK mediated nuclear translocation of EGFR, we investigated which SFK member(s) controlled this process as well as the EGFR tyrosine residues that are involved. Analyses of mRNA and protein expression indicated up-regulation of the SFK members Yes and Lyn in all CtxR clones. Further, immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that EGFR interacts with Yes and Lyn in CtxR clones, but not in cetuximab-sensitive (CtxS) parental cells. Using RNAi interference, we found that knockdown of either Yes or Lyn led to loss of EGFR translocation to the nucleus. Conversely, overexpression of Yes or Lyn in low nuclear EGFR expressing CtxS parental cells led to increased nuclear EGFR. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays confirmed nuclear EGFR complexes associated with the promoter of the known EGFR target genes B-Myb and iNOS. Further, all CtxR clones exhibited up-regulation of B-Myb and iNOS at the mRNA and protein levels. siRNAs directed at Yes or Lyn led to decreased binding of EGFR complexes to the B-Myb and iNOS promoters based on ChIP analyses. SFKs have been shown to phosphorylate EGFR on tyrosines 845 and 1101 (Y845 and Y1101) and mutation of Y1101, but not Y845, impaired nuclear entry of the EGFR. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that Yes and Lyn phosphorylate EGFR at Y1101 which influences EGFR nuclear translocation in this model of cetuximab resistance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE the goal of women-centred care (WCC) is respect, safety, holism, partnership and the general well-being of women, which could lead to women's empowerment. The first step in providing WCC to all pregnant women is to describe women's perceptions of WCC during pregnancy in different health facilities. The objectives of this study were to ask (a) what are the perceptions and comparison of WCC at Japanese birth centres, clinics, and hospitals and (b) what are the relationships between WCC and three dimensions of women's birth experience: (1) satisfaction with care they received during pregnancy and birth, (2) sense of control during labour and birth, and (3) attachment to their new born babies. DESIGN this was a cross-sectional study using self-completed retrospective questionnaires. SETTING three types of health facility: birth centres (n=7), clinics (n=4), and hospitals (n=2). PARTICIPANTS participants were women who had a singleton birth and were admitted to one of the study settings. Women who were seriously ill were excluded. Data were analysed on 482 women. MEASUREMENTS instrumentation included: a researcher-developed WCC-pregnancy questionnaire, Labour Agentry Scale, Maternal Attachment Questionnaire, and a researcher-developed Care Satisfaction Scale. FINDINGS among the three types of settings, women who delivered at birth centres rated WCC highly and were satisfied with care they received compared to those who gave birth at clinics and hospitals. WCC was positively associated with women's satisfaction with the care they received. KEY CONCLUSIONS women giving birth at birth centres had the most positive perceptions of WCC. This was related to the respectful communication during antenatal checkups and the continuity of care by midwives, which were the core elements of WCC. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE health-care providers should consider the positive correlation of WCC and women's perception of satisfaction. Every woman should be provided continuity of care with respectful communication, which is a core element of WCC.

Abstract
The T2K experiment observes indications of ν(μ) → ν(e) appearance in data accumulated with 1.43×10(20) protons on target. Six events pass all selection criteria at the far detector. In a three-flavor neutrino oscillation scenario with |Δm(23)(2)| = 2.4×10(-3) eV(2), sin(2)2θ(23) = 1 and sin(2)2θ(13) = 0, the expected number of such events is 1.5±0.3(syst). Under this hypothesis, the probability to observe six or more candidate events is 7×10(-3), equivalent to 2.5σ significance. At 90% C.L., the data are consistent with 0.03(0.04) < sin(2)2θ(13) < 0.28(0.34) for δ(CP) = 0 and a normal (inverted) hierarchy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sub-Saharan Africa is among the countries where 10% of girls become mothers by the age of 16 years old. The United Republic of Tanzania located in Sub-Saharan Africa is one country where teenage pregnancy is a problem facing adolescent girls. Adolescent pregnancy has been identified as one of the reasons for girls dropping out from school. This study's purpose was to evaluate a reproductive health awareness program for the improvement of reproductive health for adolescents in urban Tanzania. METHODS A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test research design was conducted to evaluate adolescents' knowledge, attitude, and behavior about reproductive health before and after the program. Data were collected from students aged 11 to 16, at Ilala Municipal, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. An anonymous 23-item questionnaire provided the data. The program was conducted using a picture drama, reproductive health materials and group discussion. RESULTS In total, 313 questionnaires were distributed and 305 (97.4%) were useable for the final analysis. The mean age for girls was 12.5 years and 13.2 years for boys. A large minority of both girls (26.8%) and boys (41.4%) had experienced sex and among the girls who had experienced sex, 51.2% reported that it was by force. The girls' mean score in the knowledge pre-test was 5.9, and 6.8 in post-test, which increased significantly (t=7.9, p=0.000). The mean behavior pre-test score was 25.8 and post-test was 26.6, which showed a significant increase (t=3.0, p=0.003). The boys' mean score in the knowledge pre-test was 6.4 and 7.0 for the post-test, which increased significantly (t=4.5, p=0.000). The mean behavior pre-test score was 25.6 and 26.4 in post-test, which showed a significant increase (t=2.4, p=0.019). However, the pre-test and post-test attitude scores showed no statistically significant difference for either girls or boys. CONCLUSIONS Teenagers have sexual experiences including sexual violence. Both of these phenomena are prevalent among school-going adolescents. The reproductive health program improved the students' knowledge and behavior about sexuality and decision-making after the program for both girls and boys. However, their attitudes about reproductive health were not likely to change based on the educational intervention as designed for this study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Some Japanese institutes have been performing a population screening program for cervix cancer involving the simultaneous use of Pap smear and colposcopy. This program may be a good model for evaluating the efficacy of Pap smears and colposcopy. METHODS & MATERIALS The subjects included 2,000 women who underwent primary screening at the Kanagawa Health Service Association. RESULTS 1) The incidence of ACF (atypical colposcopic findings) was 3.6%, whereas that of abnormal Pap smears (ASC-US and above) was 1.1%; 2) Of 88 women who showed abnormal findings on Pap smear and/or colposcopy, only three cases appeared abnormal in both methods, i.e., the two methods were complementary; 3) Colposcopy was more useful for detecting mild dysplasia than the Pap smear. However, colposcopy may possibly detect benign reparatory lesions; 4) The incidence of unsatisfactory colposcopic findings (UCF) was high (24.2%), whereas no unsatisfactory cases were found by Pap smear. CONCLUSIONS The sensitivity of the Pap smear for detecting mild dysplasia is low, whereas that of colposcopy is high. However, colposcopy may not be suitable for primary screening due to its high UCF. The low sensitivity of Pap smears may be improved by repetition or adding ancillary HPV testing.
