Abstract
A compelling interest in marine biology is to elucidate how species boundaries between sympatric free-spawning marine invertebrates such as bivalve molluscs are maintained in the face of potential hybridization. Hybrid zones provide the natural resources for us to study the underlying genetic mechanisms of reproductive isolation between hybridizing species. Against this backdrop, we examined the occurrence of introgressive hybridization (introgression) between two bivalves distributed in the western Pacific margin, Atrina japonica and Atrina lischkeana, based on single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) derived from restriction site-associated DNA sequencing. Using 1066 ancestry-informative SNP sites, we also investigated the extent of introgression within the genome to search for SNP sites with reduced interspecies gene flow. A series of our individual-level clustering analyses including the principal component analysis, Bayesian model-based clustering, and triangle plotting based on ancestry-heterozygosity relationships for an admixed population sample from the Seto Inland Sea (Japan) consistently suggested the presence of specimens with varying degrees of genomic admixture, thereby implying that the two species are not completely isolated. The Bayesian genomic cline analysis identified 10 SNP sites with reduced introgression, each of which was located within a genic region or an intergenic region physically close to a functional gene. No, or very few, heterozygotes were observed at these sites in the hybrid zone, suggesting that selection acts against heterozygotes. Accordingly, we raised the possibility that the SNP sites are within genomic regions that are incompatible between the two species. Our finding of restricted interspecies gene flow at certain genomic regions gives new insight into the maintenance of species boundaries in hybridizing broadcast-spawning molluscs.

Abstract
The genetic basis of speciation in free-spawning marine invertebrates is poorly understood. Although gene copy number variations (GCNVs) and nucleotide variations possibly trigger the speciation of these organisms, empirical evidence for such a hypothesis is limited. In this study, we searched for genomic signatures of GCNVs that may contribute to the speciation of Western Pacific abalone species. Whole-genome sequencing data suggested the existence of significant amounts of GCNVs in closely related abalones, Haliotis discus and H. madaka, in the early phase of speciation. In addition, the degree of interspecies genetic differentiation in the genes where GCNVs were estimated was higher than that in other genes, suggesting that nucleotide divergence also accumulates in the genes with GCNVs. GCNVs in some genes were also detected in other related abalone species, suggesting that these GCNVs are derived from both ancestral and de novo mutations. Our findings suggest that GCNVs have been accumulated in the early phase of free-spawning abalone speciation.

Abstract
How early stages of speciation in free-spawning marine invertebrates proceed is poorly understood. The Western Pacific abalones, Haliotis discus, H. madaka, and H. gigantea, occur in sympatry with shared breeding season and are capable of producing viable F1 hybrids in spite of being ecologically differentiated. Population genomic analyses revealed that although the three species are genetically distinct, there is evidence for historical and ongoing gene flow among these species. Evidence from demographic modeling suggests that reproductive isolation among the three species started to build in allopatry and has proceeded with gene flow, possibly driven by ecological selection. We identified 27 differentiation islands between the closely related H. discus and H. madaka characterized by high FST and dA, but not high dXY values, as well as high genetic diversity in one H. madaka population. These genomic signatures suggest differentiation driven by recent ecological divergent selection in presence of gene flow outside of the genomic islands of differentiation. The differentiation islands showed low polymorphism in H. gigantea, and both high FST, dXY, and dA values between H. discus and H. gigantea, as well as between H. madaka and H. gigantea. Collectively, the Western Pacific abalones appear to occupy the early stages speciation continuum, and the differentiation islands associated with ecological divergence among the abalones do not appear to have acted as barrier loci to gene flow in the younger divergences but appear to do so in older divergences.

Abstract
The gooseneck barnacle Octolasmis warwickii has a rare sexual system called androdioecy, in which hermaphrodites and dwarf males co-occur. It has been hypothesized that dwarf males can coexist with conspecific hermaphrodites when dwarf males are capable of leaving more offspring than hermaphrodites via male reproduction. This hypothesis of reproductive superiority of dwarf males can be validated by comparing the reproductive success between dwarf males and hermaphrodites through DNA marker-based parentage testing. In the present study, we developed microsatellite DNA markers for O. warwickii, and evaluated the power of these markers to infer parentage based on simulation analysis. Using next generation sequencing, we obtained 344 microsatellite sequences suitable for designing primer sets for amplification in polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Of these, we examined the PCR amplification efficiency of 54 primer sets, of which 11 passed our primer screening in a population sample (n = 35). The developed markers exhibited moderate to high levels of polymorphisms, and met Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with little evidence of significant allelic association to each other. Our simulated paternity inference suggested that the combinational use of the markers allows a high resolution of parentage (success rate of > 99.9%) if all candidate fathers are available.

Abstract
Syngnathids (pipefishes, seahorses and seadragons) are vulnerable to human-mediated habitat perturbation. The Pacific seaweed pipefish Syngnathus schlegeli has a large distribution in the northwestern Pacific, where deterioration, loss and fragmentation of its seagrass habitat are occurring through coastal development. So far, few studies have been conducted to access the genetic structure and conservation status of S. schlegeli because of the low number of genetic markers currently described. Nineteen polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed for S. schlegeli using next-generation sequencing, and characterized in 32 individuals. The mean number of alleles was 14, with 2-28 alleles per locus. The estimates of observed heterozygosity (HO) and expected heterozygosity (HE) varied depending on the locus, ranging from 0.063 to 1.000, and from 0.062 to 0.969, respectively. Seventeen of the 19 microsatellites conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. These new microsatellite markers should provide a wealth of information for studies on conservation genetics and the behavioral ecology of S. schlegeli.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The standard for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), the dual technique (radiolabelled tracer and blue dye), has several drawbacks. A novel magnetic technique without these drawbacks has been evaluated in a number of clinical trials. It uses a magnetic tracer and a handheld magnetometer to identify and excise sentinel lymph nodes. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess the performance and utility of the magnetic in comparison to the standard technique. METHODS MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane online literature databases were used to identify all original articles evaluating the magnetic technique for SLNB published up to April 2016. Studies were included if they were prospectively conducted clinical trials comparing the magnetic with the standard technique for SLNB in patients with breast cancer. RESULTS Seven studies were included. The magnetic technique was non-inferior to the standard technique (z = 3·87, P < 0·001), at a 2 per cent non-inferiority margin. The mean identification rates for the standard and magnetic techniques were 96·8 (range 94·2-99·0) and 97·1 (94·4-98·0) per cent respectively (risk difference (RD) 0·00, 95 per cent c.i. -0·01 to 0·01; P = 0·690). The total lymph node retrieval was significantly higher with the magnetic compared with the standard technique: 2113 (1·9 per patient) versus 2000 (1·8 per patient) (RD 0·05, 0·03 to 0·06; P = 0·003). False-negative rates were 10·9 (range 6-22) per cent for the standard technique and 8·4 (2-22) per cent for the magnetic technique (RD 0·03, 0·00 to 0·06; P = 0·551). The mean discordance rate was 3·9 (range 1·7-6·9) per cent. CONCLUSION The magnetic technique for SLNB is non-inferior to the standard technique, with a high identification rate but with a significantly higher lymph node retrieval rate.

Abstract
Flow cytometric analysis with multicolor fluoroprobes is an essential method for detecting biological signatures of cells. Here, we present a new full-spectral flow cytometer (spectral-FCM). Unlike conventional flow cytometer, this spectral-FCM acquires the emitted fluorescence for all probes across the full-spectrum from each cell with 32 channels sequential PMT unit after dispersion with prism, and extracts the signals of each fluoroprobe based on the spectral shape of each fluoroprobe using unique algorithm in high speed, high sensitive, accurate, automatic and real-time. The spectral-FCM detects the continuous changes in emission spectra from green to red of the photoconvertible protein, KikGR with high-spectral resolution and separates spectrally-adjacent fluoroprobes, such as FITC (Emission peak (Em) 519 nm) and EGFP (Em 507 nm). Moreover, the spectral-FCM can measure and subtract autofluorescence of each cell providing increased signal-to-noise ratios and improved resolution of dim samples, which leads to a transformative technology for investigation of single cell state and function. These advances make it possible to perform 11-color fluorescence analysis to visualize movement of multilinage immune cells by using KikGR-expressing mice. Thus, the novel spectral flow cytometry improves the combinational use of spectrally-adjacent various FPs and multicolor fluorochromes in metabolically active cell for the investigation of not only the immune system but also other research and clinical fields of use.

Cross-subspecies amplification for O. m. masou, O. m. ishikawae and O. m. subsp. was successful. These microsatellites can be utilized in studies of genetic structure, genetic diversity, and intra- and inter-subspecific hybridization, making a contribution to conservation and management of the Oncorhynchus masou complex.

Abstract
The complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of the ark shell Scapharca broughtonii was determined using long PCR and a genome walking sequencing strategy with genus-specific primers. The S. broughtonii mt genome (GenBank accession number AB729113) contained 12 protein-coding genes (the atp8 gene is missing, as in most bivalves), 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 42 transfer tRNA genes, in a length of 46,985 nucleotides for the size of mtDNA with only one copy of the heteroplasmic tandem repeat (HTR) unit. Moreover the S. broughtonii mt genome shows size variation; these genomes ranged in size from about 47 kb to about 50 kb because of variation in the number of repeat sequences in the non-coding region. The mt-genome of S. broughtonii is, to date, the longest reported metazoan mtDNA sequence. Sequence duplication in non-coding region and the formation of HTR arrays were two of the factors responsible for the ultra-large size of this mt genome. All the tRNA genes were found within the S. broughtonii mt genome, unlike the other bivalves usually lacking one or more tRNA genes. Twelve additional specimens were used to analyze the patterns of tandem repeat arrays by PCR amplification and agarose electrophoresis. Each of the 12 specimens displayed extensive heteroplasmy and had 8-10 length variants. The motifs of the HTR arrays are about 353-362 bp and the number of repeats ranges from 1 to 11.

Abstract
Reproductive proteins are among the fastest evolving in the proteome, often due to the consequences of positive selection, and their rapid evolution is frequently attributed to a coevolutionary process between interacting female and male proteins. Such a process could leave characteristic signatures at coevolving genes. One signature of coevolution, predicted by sexual selection theory, is an association of alleles between the two genes. Another predicted signature is a correlation of evolutionary rates during divergence due to compensatory evolution. We studied female-male coevolution in the abalone by resequencing sperm lysin and its interacting egg coat protein, VERL, in populations of two species. As predicted, we found intergenic linkage disequilibrium between lysin and VERL, despite our demonstration that they are not physically linked. This finding supports a central prediction of sexual selection using actual genotypes, that of an association between a male trait and its female preference locus. We also created a novel likelihood method to show that lysin and VERL have experienced correlated rates of evolution. These two signatures of coevolution can provide statistical rigor to hypotheses of coevolution and could be exploited for identifying coevolving proteins a priori. We also present polymorphism-based evidence for positive selection and implicate recent selective events at the specific structural regions of lysin and VERL responsible for their species-specific interaction. Finally, we observed deep subdivision between VERL alleles in one species, which matches a theoretical prediction of sexual conflict. Thus, abalone fertilization proteins illustrate how coevolution can lead to reproductive barriers and potentially drive speciation.

Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate the genetic diversity and relationships of 9 native Japanese long-tailed chicken breeds (Shoukoku, Koeyoshi, Kurokashiwa, Minohiki, Ohiki, Onagadori, Satsumadori, Toumaru, and Toutenkou) together with 2 commercial breeds (White Leghorn and White Plymouth Rock), using 40 polymorphic microsatellite markers covering 23 linkage groups. The 8 breeds mentioned, except for Shoukoku and 2 commercial breeds, were believed to be descendants derived from crossings of the ancestor of Shoukoku and some other breeds. Three to 14 alleles per locus were detected across all the breeds. The mean number of alleles per locus, the mean unbiased expected heterozygosity, and the mean polymorphic information content ranged from 2.60 (Minohiki) to 4.07 (Shoukoku), from 0.293 (Koeyoshi) to 0.545 (Satsumadori), and from 0.250 (Koeyoshi) to 0.478 (Satsumadori), respectively. The mean fixation coefficient of subpopulation within the total population of 9 Japanese long-tailed breeds showed that approximately 38% of the genetic variation was caused by breed differences and 62% was due to differences among individuals. Toumaru had the largest number of breed-specific alleles with relatively high (>20%) frequency. In the phylogenetic tree of 11 breeds constructed by the neighbor-joining method from modified Cavalli-Sforza chord genetic distance measure, White Leghorn and White Plymouth Rock clustered together apart from the Japanese breeds. Among the Japanese long-tailed breeds, Toumaru, Kurokashiwa, and Koeyoshi showed relatively far distance from the other breeds. The Ohiki, Onagadori, Shoukoku, and Toutenkou were grouped into the same branch. Minohiki and Satsumadori were also clustered together. Kurokashiwa was not genetically close to Shoukoku, differing from a traditional hypothsis. It was confirmed in the present study that the microsatellite is a suitable tool to evaluate genetic diversity and relationships in chicken breeds.

Abstract
Genetic variations within and between nine hatchery stocks and seven natural populations of abalone including Ezo-abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) and Kuro-abalone (H. d. discus) were assayed with nine microsatellite markers. Marked reductions of genetic variability in the hatchery stocks were recognized in the allelic diversity and mean heterozygosity compared with the natural populations. Thirteen of 16 significant HWE deviations in hatchery stocks revealed heterozygotes excess, while all natural populations did not show such a tendency. Highly significant F (ST) values were observed for all cases between the hatchery stocks, and between the hatchery stocks and natural populations. Genetic distance (D (A)) between each hatchery stock and the geographically proximal population (mean +/- SD, 0.108 +/- 0.035) were similar to those estimated for between the natural Ezo-abalone and Kuro-abalone (0.101 +/- 0.021). The self-assignment test, which allocated individuals to their own stock with a high success rate, provided evidence of solid genetic differences among the nine hatchery stocks. These results suggests that the allelic composition and diversity in the natural populations was not necessarily reflected in the hatchery stocks owing to population bottleneck and genetic drift through seedling process, and thus the seedling and stocking practice of these hatchery stocks should take much notice of the results to conserve the genetic diversity of natural populations.

Abstract
This study presents linkage maps for the Pacific abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) based on 180 microsatellite DNA markers. Linkage mapping was performed using three F1 outbred families, and a composite linkage map for each sex was generated by incorporating map information from the multiple families. A total of 160 markers are placed on the consolidated female map and 167 markers on the male map. The numbers of linkage groups in the composite female and male maps are 19 and 18, respectively; however, by aligning the two maps, 18 linkage groups are formed, which are consistent with the haploid chromosome number of H. discus hannai. The female map spans 888.1 cM (Kosambi) with an average spacing of 6.3 cM; the male map spans 702.4 cM with an average spacing of 4.7 cM. However, we encountered several linkage groups that show a high level of heterogeneity in recombination rate between families even within the same sex, which reduces the precision of the consolidated maps. Nevertheless, we suggest that the composite maps are of significant potential use as a scaffold to further extend the coverage of the H. discus hannai genome with additional markers.

Abstract
We present novel microsatellite markers of the Japanese abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) for general mapping studies in this species. A total of 75 microsatellite markers were developed, and the allele-transmission patterns of these markers were studied in three families generated by pair crosses. For allele scoring, we employed the 5'-tailed primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, which substantially reduces the cost for fluorescent labeling of primers. Of the 225 possible marker-family combinations (75 markers x 3 families), 18 cases of informative null-allele segregation were inferred. When such null-allele segregations were allowed, more than 70% of the 75 markers in the families turned out to be markers with an expected segregation ratio of 1:1:1:1, allowing maximal exploitation of the codominant nature of microsatellite markers. There were 16 instances of segregation distortion at the 5% significance level. The test for independence of segregation assigned the 75 markers into 17 linkage groups, which is in close agreement with the haploid chromosome number of H. discus hannai (n = 18). Six markers could not be placed into any linkage group. We suggest that these markers could help construct a H. discus hannai linkage map.

Abstract
The conductivity distribution in the human brain is difficult to obtain by conventional impedance tomography methods, in which currents are applied via surface electrodes. In this study, we obtained images of anisotropic conductivity in the human brain using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Diffusion-weighted images of the brain were acquired by a 1.5 T MRI system using an echo planar imaging sequence. Motion-probing gradients (MPGs) were applied with 25 arrayed b-factors up to 5000 s/mm2. The fast and slow diffusion components were estimated by fitting a biexponential attenuation function to the measured signals. The effective conductivities in each direction were calculated from the fast diffusion components. The mean conductivities of the cortex, the corpus callosum, and the internal capsule were 0.10 +/- 0.03 S/m, 0.12 +/- 0.02 S/m, and 0.08 +/- 0.01 S/m, respectively. Tissues with highly anisotropic cellular structures, such as the corpus callosum and the internal capsule, exhibited high anisotropy in conductivity. The anisotropy indices in the cortex, the corpus callosum, and the internal capsule were 0.07 +/- 0.03, 0.60 +/- 0.07, and 0.65 +/- 0.05, respectively.

Abstract
In this study, current distributions in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) were calculated under various conditions and compared with the current distribution in electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in order to find an optimum condition of TMS as an alternative to ECT. Current distributions in TMS were obtained for the following coil shapes and coil diameters: circular coils of 50 mm, 75 mm, 100 mm, 125 mm, and 150 mm, and figure-eight coils of 50 mm, 75 mm, 100 mm, and 125 mm. Evaluative performance function F increases with the difference in current distributions between ECT and TMS. The minimum value of F decreased with an increase in the coil diameter. In the case of a 150-mm circular coil, the performance function had a minimum value of 0.40 at a coil current of 29 kA, which corresponded to a magnetic flux density of 0.24 T. A coil position on the forehead and the use of a large circular coil gave better results.

Abstract
We document the potential of novel microsatellites as a genetic tool in furthering our understanding of the Crassostrea gigas genetic structure. From the microsatellite-enriched libraries we constructed, 123 repeat regions that had sufficient sequence information to design polymerase chain reaction primer sets were isolated. From these, 9 primer pairs were screened in a C. gigas population of 67 individuals to evaluate the genetic variability. All but 1 of the 9 loci showed allelic variation (number of alleles, 2-20; observed heterozygosity, 0.119-0.925; unbiased expected heterozygosity, 0.139-0.914). Considerable discrepancy of genotypic proportions from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed at 1 locus with an apparent heterozygote deficiency. Several loci were successfully amplified in 3 other related species with the appropriate allele size: 6 loci in C. sikamea, 4 loci in C. ariakensis, and 5 loci in C. nippona.

Abstract
We examined population genetic structure by means of microsatellite analysis among 7 Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) populations collected from coastal sea areas around Japan. As was expected, all of the 11 microsatellite loci examined were variable in all populations (number of alleles per locus, 15.2-18.2; average of expected heterozygosity, 0.74-0.78). Eleven population pairs in 21 possible pairwise comparisons showed significant genetic heterogeneity associated with allele frequency distributions or fixation index (F(ST)). Modified Cavalli-Sforza chord distance (D(A)) and Nei's standard genetic distance (D(ST)) ranged from 0.051 to 0.090, and from 0.000 to 0.025, respectively. There was evidence that the populations assessed in this study were not drawn from a single panmictic population; however, it appears that Japanese flounder populations around Japan are not well-structured, as an estimate of the fixation index value among the 7 localities was very low (F(ST) = 0.0025).

Abstract
Allele segregating patterns of microsatellite DNA loci in 5 experimental families of Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus and genotype frequencies for deviation from Hardy-Weinberg expectations (HWE) in natural P. olivaceus populations were studied to assess inheritability. Of the 12 microsatellite loci examined, 1 locus had a possibility of scoring errors of heterozygous individuals caused by unreproducible polymerase chain reaction amplifications of a particular allele. At the remaining 11 loci, almost all of alleles were segregated according to Mendelian transmission, and observed genotype frequencies in natural populations were consistent with HWE. The results demonstrated here would provide useful information supporting the suitability of these microsatellite loci as inheritable P. olivaceus genetic markers.

Abstract
Population differentiation and relationships among 6 natural rockfish populations collected from northern coastal seas around Japan were assayed using microsatellite DNA loci. Seven loci examined were polymorphic in all populations. The number of alleles per locus ranged from 6.7 to 9.3, and the average of observed and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.63 to 0.68, and from 0.66 to 0.69, respectively. The observed genotype frequencies at each locus were almost in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg expectations with two exceptions (P <.05). The allele frequencies of 16 population pairs were significantly different (P <.05). Genetic distance (D(A)) between 6 populations ranged from 0.03 to 0.08. According to a neighbor-joining tree generated from the D(A) values, the 6 populations fell into 3 clusters. These clusters were correlated with the geographical positions of each population; larval dispersions due to water current were also found to have an effect on these results.

Abstract
To examine the relationships between casual, ambulatory and home blood pressure measurements in the general population, these measurements were obtained in 1,695 of 3,744 subjects aged 20 yr or older in Ohasama, Japan. Of these 1,695 subjects, 1,207 measured their home blood pressure more than 14 times in each of the morning and evening (881 untreated subjects including normotensives and untreated hypertensives, 56.4 +/- 11.5 yr of age; 326 treated subjects, 66.0 +/- 9.2 yr of age). We analyzed data in these 1,207 subjects, examining the distribution of each measurement, the relationships among measurements, and the factors affecting the blood pressure differences among the measurements. For systolic pressure, the casual measurement was the highest among the methods examined. The daytime ambulatory measurement was significantly higher than morning and evening home measurements. Morning home measurements were significantly higher than those in the evening. For diastolic pressure, however, the morning home measurement was the highest among the methods examined. Short-term pressure variability (standard deviation and variation coefficient of ambulatory measurements) was greater than long-term pressure variability (standard deviation and variation coefficient of home measurements). The pressure variability in treated subjects was greater than that in untreated subjects. The correlation between casual pressure and the other pressures was not as strong (r<0.567). Among the relationships between ambulatory and home measurements, the strongest correlation was observed between the 24-h ambulatory measurement and the morning home measurement (r=0.738) in untreated subjects. The morning home measurement was highly correlated with the evening home measurement (r>0.814). The differences among the methods examined were affected by blood pressure level and age. It should be noted that in elderly and treated subjects, blood pressure measurement using one method does not necessarily correlate with that obtained using the other methods. This information is useful for the estimation of the value of one type of blood pressure measurement from values obtained with other methods.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the qualitative and quantitative differences of blood pressure measured at home (home measurement) in the morning versus the evening. METHODS Of 3744 participants, aged 20 years or older in the Ohasama population, more than 14 home measurements in the morning and in the evening, respectively, were obtained in each of 1207 individuals (881 untreated, 56.1 +/- 11.4 years and 326 treated, 66.0 +/- 9.2 years). A casual/screening measurement was also obtained in these individuals. RESULTS The home measurements in the morning were significantly higher than those in the evening. The bivariate linear regression analysis demonstrated that the difference between diastolic home measurement in the morning and that in the evening increased with an increase in diastolic home measurements. The multiple step-wise linear regression analysis, however, demonstrated that male sex, the use of antihypertensive medication, and SD of home measurements in individuals (blood pressure variability), but not level of home measurements, were positively associated with the difference between home measurement in the morning and that in the evening. The SD of home measurement in the evening in individuals was significantly larger than that in the morning, and the SD in treated individuals was significantly larger than that in untreated individuals. The correlations between casual and home measurements were moderate in untreated individuals (r = 0.509-0.567) but poor in treated subjects (r= 0.223-0.384). The correlations between home systolic measurements in the morning and in the evening were very close in both treated and untreated subjects (r = 0.814-0.902). The correlations between the SD of home measurements in the morning and in the evening were moderate in both treated and untreated individuals (r = 0.585-0.657). CONCLUSIONS Qualitative and quantitative differences in home blood pressure measurement, due to the differential time of measurement, should be taken into consideration in clinical use of home blood pressure measurements.

Abstract
We performed thoracoscopic pericardiectomy to an 86-year-old patient with recurrent pericardial effusion of unknown origin. Etiology of pericardial effusion was established by this procedure. Postoperative course was uneventful. She was discharged within two weeks and has been well 8 months postoperatively. Thoracoscopic surgery is superior to thoracotomy in terms of less invasion and postoperative pain. Thoracoscopic surgery is replacing standard thoracotomy in the management of many thoracic diseases.

Abstract
To investigate how antihypertensive drugs with different pharmacological properties affect ambulatory blood pressure (BP) the JAPANESE Study Group developed a database of clinic and ambulatory BPs before and after antihypertensive treatment of patients throughout Japan. Drugs evaluated were nilvadipine (n = 195; b.i.d, 4-8 mg/day), amlodipine (n = 75; q.d., 2.5-10 mg/day), lisinopril (n = 80; q.d., 10-20 mg/day) and bisoprolol (n = 49; q.d., 5-10 mg/day). The relationship between basal ambulatory BP and the hypotensive effect on ambulatory BP during treatment was examined. All antihypertensive drugs significantly decreased both clinic BP and ambulatory BP. The hypotensive effect determined by measurement of clinic BP was significantly greater than that determined by ambulatory BP. The hypotensive effect was positively correlated with basal ambulatory BP. However, there was a quantitative difference in this characteristic among the drugs. The critical daytime systolic ambulatory BP below which a hypotensive effect was not observed was extrapolated to 128, 127 and 124 mm Hg with nilvadipine, amlodipine and bisoprolol, respectively, while that with lisinopril was 97 mm Hg. The slope of the correlation coefficient between basal daytime ambulatory systolic BP and hypotensive effect with lisinopril was significantly smaller than those with the other drugs (P < 0.0001). The slope for the relationship between night-time ambulatory systolic BP and the hypotensive effect with bisoprolol was the steepest (P < 0.0001). Antihypertensive drugs with different pharmacological properties exhibited differing hypotensive effects on the basal ambulatory BP. Such differences in efficacy of the drugs on the basal ambulatory BP may reflect adverse effects of the drugs and the prognosis of hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the predictive powers of self-measurement of blood pressure at home (home blood pressure measurement) and casual (screening) blood pressure measurement for mortality. DESIGN A prospective cohort study. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We obtained home and screening blood pressure measurements for 1789 subjects aged > or = 40 years who were followed up for a mean of 6.6 years. The prognostic significance of blood pressure for mortality was determined by the Cox proportional hazards regression model adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, past history of cardiovascular disease, and the use of antihypertensive medication. RESULTS When the home blood pressure values and the screening blood pressure values were simultaneously incorporated into the Cox model as continuous variables, only the average of multiple (taken more than three times) home systolic blood pressure values was significantly and strongly related to the cardiovascular mortality risk. The average of the two initial home blood pressure values was also better related to the mortality risk than were the screening blood pressure values. CONCLUSIONS Home blood pressure measurement had a stronger predictive power for mortality than did screening blood pressure measurement for a general population. This appears to be the first study in which the prognostic significances of home and screening blood pressure measurements have been compared.

Abstract
We investigated factors underlying discrepancy between screening blood pressure and daytime ambulatory blood pressure (the difference) in a community-based population in northeastern Japan. Screening and ambulatory pressures were measured in 706 untreated subjects aged 20 yr or older. We analyzed the effects of age and blood pressure on the difference and then performed multivariate stepwise linear regression analysis using the difference as the dependent variable. The systolic difference positively correlated with age in men. Women in their 40s exhibited a large difference, disturbing the linear relationship between the difference and age. The difference positively correlated with the screening pressure in men and women. A positive difference (screening pressure > ambulatory pressure) was observed at screening pressures above 130/75 mmHg. The difference inversely correlated with the ambulatory pressure. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that body mass index and male sex were positively associated with the systolic and diastolic blood pressure differences. The daytime pulse rate was negatively associated with the systolic difference, and the standard deviation of daytime diastolic ambulatory blood pressure was positively associated with the diastolic difference. The diastolic difference in subjects with isolated systolic hypertension based on the screening pressure was significantly smaller than that in subjects with systolic/diastolic hypertension. The difference in subjects with isolated systolic hypertension based on ambulatory pressure was significantly higher than that in systolic/diastolic hypertension. When white-coal (isolated screening) hypertension was defined as a screening systolic pressure > or = 140 mmHg, a diastolic pressure > or = 90 mmHg, or both, and a 24-h ambulatory pressure < 136/87 mmHg in men and < 131/86 mmHg in women, white-coat (isolated screening) hypertension was present in 79 (56.8%) of 139 subjects with screening hypertension. The results confirm that the discrepancy between screening and ambulatory blood pressure is due to a variety of factors, including age, sex, blood pressure levels, and baroreflex function. Our results indicate that screening blood pressure in elderly hypertensive patients should be evaluated carefully.

Abstract
We evaluated the effect of barnidipine, a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, administered once daily in the morning in a dose of 5, 10, or 15 mg on ambulatory blood pressure (BP) in 34 patients (51.3+/-9.6 years). Hypertension was diagnosed based on the clinic BP. The patients were classified into groups according to the ambulatory BP: group 1, dippers with true hypertension; group 2, nondippers with true hypertension; group 3, dippers with false hypertension; and Group 4, nondippers with false hypertension. Barnidipine reduced the clinic systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) in all groups and significantly reduced the average 24 h ambulatory BP (133.0+/-16.5/90.7+/-12.3 mm Hg v 119.7+/-13.7/81.8+/-10.3 mm Hg, P < .0001 for both SBP and DBP). Barnidipine significantly reduced the daytime ambulatory SBP in groups 1, 2, and 3, but not in group 4, and significantly reduced daytime ambulatory DBP in group 1 but not in groups 2, 3, and 4. Barnidipine significantly reduced the nighttime ambulatory SBP only in group 2 and the nighttime ambulatory DBP in groups 2 and 4. Once-a-day administration of barnidipine influenced 24 h BP on true hypertensives (the ratio of the trough to peak effect > 50%), but had minimal effect on low BP such as the nocturnal BP in dippers and the ambulatory BP in false hypertensives. These findings suggest that barnidipine can be used safely in patients with isolated clinic ("white coat") hypertension and in those with dipping patterns of circadian BP variation whose nocturnal BP is low before treatment.

Abstract
To investigate the relation between nocturnal decline in blood pressure and mortality, we obtained ambulatory blood pressures in 1542 residents aged 40 years or over of a rural Japanese community. Subjects were followed-up for a mean of 5.1 years and were then subdivided into four groups according to the percent decline in nocturnal blood pressure: 1) extreme dippers: percent decline in nocturnal blood pressure > or = 20% of the daytime blood pressure; 2) dippers: decline of > or = 10% but < 20%; 3) nondippers: decline of > or = 0% but < 10%; and 4) inverted dippers: no decline. The relationship between the decline in nocturnal blood pressure and mortality was examined by the Cox proportional hazards regression model adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, previous history of cardiovascular disease, and the use of antihypertensive medication. The mortality risk was highest in inverted dippers, followed by nondippers. There was no difference in mortality between extreme dippers and dippers. This relationship was observed for both treated and untreated subjects, was more pronounced for cardiovascular than for noncardiovascular mortality, and did not change after the data were adjusted for 24-h, daytime, and nighttime blood pressure levels.

Abstract
We investigated factors affecting the nocturnal decline in blood pressure (BP). A cross sectional study was done in 706 community-based untreated subjects > or = 20 years of age. Screening and ambulatory BPs were measured and the effects of age and the ambulatory BP on the nocturnal decline were examined. Bivariate analysis demonstrated that the magnitude of the decline and the percent decline in the nocturnal BP increased with increase in daytime ambulatory BP and decreased with increase in nighttime ambulatory BP. Although the magnitude of the nocturnal decline in BP increased with increasing daytime BP, the nocturnal BP in hypertensives was still higher than those in normotensives. The magnitude decreased with increasing age in men but not in women, while the percent decline decreased with increasing age in both men and women. Since bivariate analysis demonstrated that the daytime BP, nighttime BP, and standard deviation of the 24-hour BP strongly correlated with the magnitude of the nocturnal decline, these parameters were excluded as independent variables from the multivariate analysis. In the multivariate analysis the nighttime pulse pressure was negatively and daytime pulse pressure was positively associated with the magnitude of the decline and the percent decline in the nocturnal BP. A non-dipping circadian variation was frequently observed in elderly normotensive men but the rate of nondipper was rather low in hypertensive individuals in the general population. A marked dipping pattern was frequently observed in hypertensive women > or = 70 years of age. The nocturnal BP levels in subjects with daytime hypertension are higher than those in subjects with daytime normotension. Therefore, BP must ideally be lowered over 24-hour period in hypertensive subjects. The diminished magnitude of the decline and the decrease in the percent decline in the nocturnal BP in the elderly may be mediated by the disturbed baroreflex function due to the decrease in compliance of large elastic artery. However, in some elderly hypertensive women, excess nocturnal decline in BP is observed. In such subjects, we should take care of the nocturnal BP levels during treatment.

Abstract
Localized organizing pneumonia is one of the benign conditions which must be differentiated from lung cancer. We have reported two cases of localized organizing pneumonia diagnosed by histological study of surgical specimens. Two cases were initially regarded as lung cancer, because the symptoms of respiratory tract infection were not remarkable and initial roentgenographic findings revealed a tumor-like shadow. Diagnostic thoracoscopy which was less invasive upon a patient were very useful in differentiating organizing pneumonia from lung cancer.

Abstract
A cross-sectional community survey using home blood pressure measurements was performed in northern Japan to estimate the prevalence of definite hypertension, white coat hypertension and the success of blood pressure control in patients receiving antihypertensive drugs. A total of 1334 subjects (mean age +/- SD, 53.8 +/- 17.3 years; 8-91 years) participated in the screening and home blood pressure measurement program. They measured blood pressure at home at least 3 times (mean measurement frequency, 20.8 +/- 8.3 times). Of these 1334 subjects, 314 (65.1 +/- 8.9 years) were taking drugs (treated group) while 1020 (50.3 +/- 17.8 years) were not (untreated group). The WHO criteria were used to categorize screening blood pressure. Criteria for diagnosis of hypertension by home blood pressure measurements were as follows: definitely hypertensive (systolic blood pressure > or = 144 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > or = 89 mmHg) and normotensive (104 < systolic blood pressure < or = 131 mmHg and 60 < diastolic blood pressure < or = 79 mmHg). Of the 1018 subjects identified as normotensive on screening measurements, home measurements indicated that 73 (7.2%) were hypertensive and 765 (74.7%) were normotensive or lower. Of the 112 subjects identified as hypertensive on screening measurements, home measurements showed that 42 (37.5%) were hypertensive and 30 (26.8%) were normotensive or lower. Of the 314 treated subjects, 45 (14.3%) were identified as hypertensive by screening measurements and 88 (28.0%) as hypertensive by home measurements. Only 20 (44.4%) of the former 45 subjects were also defined as definitely hypertensive by home measurements. Of the 1020 untreated subjects, 67 (6.6%) were hypertensive by screening measurements and 84 (8.2%) by home measurements. Only 22 (32.8%) of the former 67 subjects were classified as hypertensive by home measurements. Of the 67 untreated subjects identified as hypertensive by screening measurements, 20 (29.9%) were normotensive or lower by home measurements, suggesting that these subjects were "white coat" hypertensives. The study first confirmed based on the large community data that there are large discrepancies between screening (casual) blood pressure and home blood pressure measurements for recognition of hypertension and normotension. Determination of blood pressure levels by home blood pressure measurements may predict prognosis of hypertension differently from that by screening blood pressure measurements. Further prospectively study is needed to validate the prognostic value of home blood pressure measurements.

Abstract
1. The factors influencing the seasonal variation in blood pressure measured at home in normotensive women were examined. 2. Sixteen female subjects (56.3 +/- 7.9 years old, mean +/- SD) measured their blood pressure and pulse rate at home each morning for more than 20 times per month for at least 1.5 years. Blood pressure and body weight were also determined in the office once or twice a month in that period. Monthly means of outdoor and indoor temperatures and daytime length were obtained from the Meteorological Observatory. The single cosinor method was used to evaluate circannual rhythm. 3. We observed a biphasic seasonal variation in self-recorded blood pressure measured at home, environmental temperature and daytime length but found no apparent seasonal variation in body weight and blood pressure measured in the office. The lowest levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure measured at home were observed in July. The longest daytime length was recorded in June, while the highest outdoor temperature and indoor temperature were recorded in August, indicating that the longest daytime length preceded and the highest environmental temperature lagged behind the lowest level of blood pressure. The shortest daytime length is in December. The lowest outdoor and indoor temperature were observed in January, while the highest levels of self-recorded systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were in January and December, respectively. Half-amplitudes of self-recorded systolic and diastolic blood pressure were 2.6 +/- 1.0 mmHg and 2.0 +/- 0.8 mmHg, respectively. 4. These findings indicate the importance of a seasonal effect, i.e. daytime length and the environmental temperature, on the blood pressure of individuals.
