Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to investigate the association of maternal birth weight (MBW) with early and late gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS A total of 69318 pregnant Japanese women were included in this birth cohort study. The associations between maternal birth weight and early gestational diabetes mellitus (diagnosed at <24 gestational weeks) and late GDM (diagnosed at ≥24 gestational weeks) were investigated using a multinomial logistic regression model, with an maternal birth weight of 3000-3499 g as the reference category. RESULTS Lower maternal birth weight was associated with higher odds of developing early and late gestational diabetes mellitus (P < 0.0001 and P < 0.0001, respectively). The adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for early gestational diabetes mellitus in participants with a MBW of <2500 g and 2500-2999 g were 1.345 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.912-1.984) and 1.338 (95% CI: 1.098-1.629), respectively. The aORs for late gestational diabetes mellitus in participants with a MBW of <2500 g and 2500-2999 g were, 1.657 (95% CI: 1.298-2.115) and 1.218 (95% CI: 1.058-1.402), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of the gestational age when gestational diabetes mellitus was diagnosed, a lower maternal birth weight was associated with an increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, the association of a MBW <2500 g with late gestational diabetes mellitus tended to be stronger than that with early gestational diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
The initiation of human pregnancy is marked by the implantation of an embryo into the uterine environment; however, the underlying mechanisms remain largely elusive. To address this knowledge gap, we developed hormone-responsive endometrial organoids (EMO), termed apical-out (AO)-EMO, which emulate the in vivo architecture of endometrial tissue. The AO-EMO comprise an exposed apical epithelium surface, dense stromal cells, and a self-formed endothelial network. When cocultured with human embryonic stem cell-derived blastoids, the three-dimensional feto-maternal assembloid system recapitulates critical implantation stages, including apposition, adhesion, and invasion. Endometrial epithelial cells were subsequently disrupted by syncytial cells, which invade and fuse with endometrial stromal cells. We validated this fusion of syncytiotrophoblasts and stromal cells using human blastocysts. Our model provides a foundation for investigating embryo implantation and feto-maternal interactions, offering valuable insights for advancing reproductive medicine.

Abstract
Congenital malformations are functional and structural alterations in embryonic or foetal development resulting from a variety of factors including maternal health status. This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal birth weight (MBW) and the prevalence of congenital malformations in offspring using data from a nationwide birth cohort study in Japan including 103,060 pregnancies. A binary logistic regression model with adjustment for various covariates revealed that an MBW of <2500 g (low MBW) was associated with an increased risk of congenital heart disease (adjusted odds ratio: 1.388, [95% confidence interval: 1.075-1.792]), angioma (1.491 [1.079-2.059]), and inguinal hernia (1.746, [1.189-2.565]), while those with an MBW of ≥4000 g (high MBW) were associated with congenital anomalies of the urinary tract (2.194, [1.261-3.819]) and arrhythmia (1.775, [1.157-2.725]) compared with those with an MBW of 3000-3499 g. Low MBW was associated with cleft lip and/or palate (1.473, [1.052-2.064]), congenital heart disease (1.615, [1.119-2.332]), genital organs (1.648, [1.130-2.405]), hypospadias (1.804, [1.130-2.881]), and inguinal hernia (1.484, [1.189-1.851]) in male infants and CAKUT (1.619, [1.154-2.273]) in female infants, whereas high MBW was associated with congenital heart disease (1.745, [1.058-2.877]) and CAKUT (2.470, [1.350-4.517]) in male infants. The present study is the first to demonstrate a link between MBW and congenital malformations in Japanese children. While these results must be interpreted with caution, MBW should be considered a major predictor of congenital malformation risk.

Abstract
Trophoblast stem (TS) cells have the unique capacity to differentiate into specialized cell types, including extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cells. EVT cells invade into and transform the uterus where they act to remodel the vasculature facilitating the redirection of maternal nutrients to the developing fetus. Disruptions in EVT cell development and function are at the core of pregnancy-related disease. WNT-activated signal transduction is a conserved regulator of morphogenesis of many organ systems, including the placenta. In human TS cells, activation of canonical WNT signaling is critical for maintenance of the TS cell stem state and its downregulation accompanies EVT cell differentiation. We show that aberrant WNT signaling undermines EVT cell differentiation. Notum, palmitoleoyl-protein carboxylesterase (NOTUM), a negative regulator of canonical WNT signaling, was prominently expressed in first trimester EVT cells developing in situ and upregulated in EVT cells derived from human TS cells. Furthermore, NOTUM was required for human TS cell differentiation to EVT cells. Activation of NOTUM in EVT cells is driven, at least in part, by endothelial PAS domain 1 (also called hypoxia-inducible factor 2 alpha). Collectively, our findings indicate that canonical WNT signaling is essential for maintenance of human trophoblast cell stemness and prevention of human TS cell differentiation. Downregulation of canonical WNT signaling via the actions of NOTUM is required for EVT cell differentiation.

Abstract
Human placental villi have essential roles in producing hormones, mediating nutrient and waste exchange, and protecting the fetus from exposure to xenobiotics. Human trophoblast organoids that recapitulate the structure of villi could provide an important in vitro tool to understand placental development and the transplacental passage of xenobiotics. However, such organoids do not currently exist. Here we describe the generation of trophoblast organoids using human trophoblast stem (TS) cells. Following treatment with three kinds of culture medium, TS cells form spherical organoids with a single outer layer of syncytiotrophoblast (ST) cells that display a barrier function. Furthermore, we develop a column-type ST barrier model based on the culture condition of the trophoblast organoids. The bottom membrane of the column is almost entirely covered with syndecan 1-positive ST cells. The barrier integrity and maturation levels of the model are confirmed by measuring transepithelial/transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) and the amount of human chorionic gonadotropin. Further analysis reveals that the model can be used to derive the apparent permeability coefficients of model compounds. In addition to providing a suite of tools for the study of placental development, our trophoblast models allow the evaluation of compound transfer and toxicity, which will facilitate drug development.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to investigate the effects of initial abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) diameter on aneurysmal sac expansion/shrinkage, endoleaks, and reintervention postelective simple endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). METHODS Overall, 228 patients monitored for >1 year after EVAR were analyzed. Male and female participants with initial AAA diameters <55 mm and <50 mm, respectively, composed the small group (group S), while those with initial AAA diameters ≥55 mm (men) and ≥50 mm (women) composed the large group (group L). Aneurysmal sac expansion of 10 mm and/or reintervention during follow-up (composite event) and its related factors were evaluated. RESULTS The 5-year freedom from composite event rate was significantly higher in group S (92.4 ± 2.8%) than that in group L (79.1 ± 4.9%; P <0.01). Multivariate analysis revealed AAA diameters before EVAR in group S (hazard ratio, 0.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.18-0.81; P = 0.01) and type II endoleak (T2EL) at discharge (hazard ratio, 2.83; 95% confidence interval, 1.29-6.20; P <0.01) as factors associated with the composite event. The freedom from composite event rate decreased to 51 ± 13% at 5 years in group L with T2EL. CONCLUSIONS Group S had high freedom from composite event rate; in group L, the rate decreased to 51% at 5 years with T2EL at discharge.

Abstract
Aging presents fundamental health concerns worldwide; however, mechanisms underlying how aging is regulated are not fully understood. Here, we show that cartilage regulates aging by controlling phosphate metabolism via ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (Enpp1). We newly established an Enpp1 reporter mouse, in which an EGFP-luciferase sequence was knocked-in at the Enpp1 gene start codon (Enpp1/EGFP-luciferase), enabling detection of Enpp1 expression in cartilage tissues of resultant mice. We then established a cartilage-specific Enpp1 conditional knockout mouse (Enpp1 cKO) by generating Enpp1 flox mice and crossing them with cartilage-specific type 2 collagen Cre mice. Relative to WT controls, Enpp1 cKO mice exhibited phenotypes resembling human aging, such as short life span, ectopic calcifications, and osteoporosis, as well as significantly lower serum pyrophosphate levels. We also observed significant weight loss and worsening of osteoporosis in Enpp1 cKO mice under phosphate overload conditions, similar to global Enpp1-deficient mice. Aging phenotypes seen in Enpp1 cKO mice under phosphate overload conditions were rescued by a low vitamin D diet, even under high phosphate conditions. These findings suggest overall that cartilage tissue plays an important role in regulating systemic aging via Enpp1.

Abstract
The placenta serves as the interface between the mother and fetus, facilitating the exchange of gases and nutrients between their separate blood circulation systems. Trophoblasts in the placenta play a central role in this process. Our current understanding of mammalian trophoblast development relies largely on mouse models. However, given the diversification of mammalian placentas, findings from the mouse placenta cannot be readily extrapolated to other mammalian species, including humans. To fill this knowledge gap, we performed CRISPR knockout screening in human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs). We targeted genes essential for mouse placental development and identified more than 100 genes as critical regulators in both human hTSCs and mouse placentas. Among them, we further characterized in detail two transcription factors, DLX3 and GCM1, and revealed their essential roles in hTSC differentiation. Moreover, a gene function-based comparison between human and mouse trophoblast subtypes suggests that their relationship may differ significantly from previous assumptions based on tissue localization or cellular function. Notably, our data reveal that hTSCs may not be analogous to mouse TSCs or the extraembryonic ectoderm (ExE) in which in vivo TSCs reside. Instead, hTSCs may be analogous to progenitor cells in the mouse ectoplacental cone and chorion. This finding is consistent with the absence of ExE-like structures during human placental development. Our data not only deepen our understanding of human trophoblast development but also facilitate cross-species comparison of mammalian placentas.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is rare but is the most common bone tumor. Diagnostic tools such as magnetic resonance imaging development of chemotherapeutic agents have increased the survival rate in osteosarcoma patients, although 5-year survival has plateaued at 70%. Thus, development of new treatment approaches is needed. Here, we report that IL-17, a proinflammatory cytokine, increases osteosarcoma mortality in a mouse model with AX osteosarcoma cells. AX cell transplantation into wild-type mice resulted in 100% mortality due to ectopic ossification and multi-organ metastasis. However, AX cell transplantation into IL-17-deficient mice significantly prolonged survival relative to controls. CD4-positive cells adjacent to osteosarcoma cells express IL-17, while osteosarcoma cells express the IL-17 receptor IL-17RA. Although AX cells can undergo osteoblast differentiation, as can patient osteosarcoma cells, IL-17 significantly inhibited that differentiation, indicating that IL-17 maintains AX cells in the undifferentiated state seen in malignant tumors. By contrast, IL-17RA-deficient mice transplanted with AX cells showed survival comparable to wild-type mice transplanted with AX cells. Biopsy specimens collected from osteosarcoma patients showed higher expression of IL-17RA compared to IL-17. These findings suggest that IL-17 is essential to maintain osteosarcoma cells in an undifferentiated state and could be a therapeutic target for suppressing tumorigenesis.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the association between parental and infant birth weights in Japan. In total, 37,504 pregnant Japanese women and their partners were included in this birth cohort study. A multinomial logistic regression model was used to evaluate the associations of parental birth weights with small-for-gestational-age (SGA) or large-for-gestational-age (LGA) infants. Associations between parental birth weight and low birth weight (LBW) infants or macrosomia were also examined, and linear associations between parental birth weight and SGA or LGA were found. The adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for SGA infants per 500 g decrease in maternal and paternal birth weights were 1.50 (95% confidence interval [CI],1.43-1.58) and 1.31 (95% CI, 1.25-1.38), respectively. The aORs for LGA infants per 500 g increase in maternal and paternal birth weights were 1.53 (95% CI, 1.47-1.60) and 1.41 (95% CI, 1.35-1.47), respectively. The association between parental birth weight and LBW infants or macrosomia was also linear. The aORs for LBW infants per 500 g decrease in maternal and paternal birth weights were 1.47 (95% CI, 1.40-1.55) and 1.25 (95% CI, 1.19-1.31), respectively. The aORs for macrosomia per 500 g increase in maternal and paternal birth weights were 1.59 (95% CI, 1.41-1.79) and 1.40 (95% CI, 1.23-1.60), respectively. Parental birth weight was found to be associated with infant birth weight even after adjusting for various parental factors. Furthermore, maternal birth weight was more strongly associated with infant birth weight than with paternal birth weight.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the association between maternal birth weight (MBW) and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) according to the gestational age when HDP develops. STUDY DESIGN A total of 77,345 subjects were included in this prospective birth cohort study. The association between MBW and HDP was investigated by a multinomial logistic regression model. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Early-onset HDP (EO-HDP), preterm late-onset HDP (preterm LO-HDP), and term late-onset HDP (term LO-HDP). RESULTS Lower MBW was associated with higher odds of preterm and term LO-HDP (p-values for trend < 0.0001 and = 0.0005, respectively). A linear association between MBW and EO-HDP was observed (p-values for trend = 0.0496). The shape of the association between MBW and preterm LO-HDP was a combination of the associations between MBW with EO-HDP or LO-HDP. The effect size of the association between MBW < 2,500 g and EO-HDP was lower than that of MBW < 2,500 g with preterm or term LO-HDP. The adjusted odds ratios for EO-HDP, preterm LO-HDP, and term LO-HDP in subjects with MBW < 2,500 g were 1.052 (95 % confidence interval [CI]: 0.665-1.664), 1.745 (95 % CI: 1.220-2.496), and 1.496 (95 % CI: 1.154-1.939), respectively. CONCLUSIONS MBW was associated with HDP, regardless of gestational age when HDP developed. Furthermore, the association of MBW < 2,500 g with preterm or term LO-HDP was stronger than that with EO-HDP.

Abstract
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a degenerative disease characterized by intermittent claudication and numbness in the lower extremities. These symptoms are caused by the compression of nerve tissue in the lumbar spinal canal. Ligamentum flavum (LF) hypertrophy and spinal epidural lipomatosis in the spinal canal are known to contribute to stenosis of the spinal canal: however, detailed mechanisms underlying LSS are still not fully understood. Here, we show that surgically harvested LFs from LSS patients exhibited significantly increased thickness when transthyretin (TTR), the protein responsible for amyloidosis, was deposited in LFs, compared to those without TTR deposition. Multiple regression analysis, which considered age and BMI, revealed a significant association between LF hypertrophy and TTR deposition in LFs. Moreover, TTR deposition in LF was also significantly correlated with epidural fat (EF) thickness based on multiple regression analyses. Mesenchymal cell differentiation into adipocytes was significantly stimulated by TTR in vitro. These results suggest that TTR deposition in LFs is significantly associated with increased LF hypertrophy and EF thickness, and that TTR promotes adipogenesis of mesenchymal cells. Therapeutic agents to prevent TTR deposition in tissues are currently available or under development, and targeting TTR could be a potential therapeutic approach to inhibit LSS development and progression.

Abstract
When ruptured, ligaments and tendons have limited self-repair capacity and rarely heal spontaneously. In the knee, the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) often ruptures during sports activities, causing functional impairment and requiring surgery using tendon grafts. Patients with insufficient time to recover before resuming sports risk re-injury. To develop more effective treatment, it is necessary to define mechanisms underlying ligament repair. For this, animal models can be useful, but mice are too small to create an ACL reconstruction model. Thus, we developed a transgenic rat model using control elements of Scleraxis (Scx), a transcription factor essential for ligament and tendon development, to drive GFP expression in order to localize Scx-expressing cells. As anticipated, Tg rats exhibited Scx-GFP in ACL during developmental but not adult stages. Interestingly, when we transplanted the flexor digitorum longus (FDP) tendon derived from adult Scx-GFP+ rats into WT adults, Scx-GFP was not expressed in transplanted tendons. However, tendons transplanted from adult WT rats into Scx-GFP rats showed upregulated Scx expression in tendon, suggesting that Scx-GFP+ cells are mobilized from tissues outside the tendon. Importantly, at 4 weeks post-surgery, Scx-GFP-expressing cells were more frequent within the grafted tendon when an ACL remnant was preserved (P group) relative to when it was not (R group) (P vs R groups (both n = 5), p<0.05), and by 6 weeks, biomechanical strength of the transplanted tendon was significantly increased if the remnant was preserved (P vsR groups (both n = 14), p<0.05). Scx-GFP+ cells increased in remnant tissue after surgery, suggesting remnant tissue is a source of Scx+ cells in grafted tendons. We conclude that the novel Scx-GFP Tg rat is useful to monitor emergence of Scx-positive cells, which likely contribute to increased graft strength after ACL reconstruction.

Abstract
Hip fractures are fragility fractures frequently seen in persons over 80-years-old. Although various factors, including decreased bone mineral density and a history of falls, are reported as hip fracture risks, few large-scale studies have confirmed their relevance to individuals older than 80, and tools to assess contributions of various risks to fracture development and the degree of risk are lacking. We recruited 1395 fresh hip fracture patients and 1075 controls without hip fractures and comprehensively evaluated various reported risk factors and their association with hip fracture development. We initially constructed a predictive model using Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), a machine learning algorithm, incorporating all 40 variables and evaluated the model's performance using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), yielding a value of 0.87. We also employed SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) values to evaluate each feature importance and ranked the top 20. We then used a stepwise selection method to determine key factors sequentially until the AUC reached a plateau nearly equal to that of all variables and identified the top 10 sufficient to evaluate hip fracture risk. For each, we determined the cutoff value for hip fracture occurrence and calculated scores of each variable based on the respective feature importance. Individual scores were: serum 25(OH)D levels (<10 ng/ml, score 7), femoral neck T-score (<-3, score 5), Barthel index score (<100, score 3), maximal handgrip strength (<18 kg, score 3), GLFS-25 score (≥24, score 2), number of falls in previous 12 months (≥3, score 2), serum IGF-1 levels (<50 ng/ml, score 2), cups of tea/day (≥5, score -2), use of anti-osteoporosis drugs (yes, score -2), and BMI (<18.5 kg/m2, score 1). Using these scores, we performed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and the resultant optimal cutoff value was 7, with a specificity of 0.78, sensitivity of 0.75, and AUC of 0.85. These ten factors and the scoring system may represent tools useful to predict hip fracture.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the factors associated with new onset father-to-infant (paternal) bonding failure from 1 to 6 months postpartum. METHODS This was a prospective birth-cohort study. Paternal bonding failure was evaluated using the Japanese version of the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS-J) at 1 and 6 months postpartum. For cut-off scores, overall bonding failure, MIBS-J total scores ≥ 5; subscale for lack of affection, MIBS-J_LA scores ≥ 3; and subscale for anger/rejection, MIBS-J_AR scores ≥ 3 were used in this study. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to analyze relative variables. RESULTS We analyzed 872 fathers. The frequency of new-onset overall bonding failure, lack of affection, and anger/rejection was 5.6%, 4.9%, and 6.3%, respectively. For new-onset overall bonding failure, significant associated factors were paternal childcare leave (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 3.192; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.203-8.469), paternal new-onset depression symptoms (AOR 3.181; 95% Cl 1.311-7.716), and maternal new-onset overall bonding failure (AOR 4.595; 95% Cl 1.119-18.866). For new-onset lack of affection, significant associated factors were preterm birth (AOR 4.189; 95% Cl 1.473-11.913) and paternal new-onset depression symptoms (AOR 3.290; 95% Cl 1.294-8.362). For new-onset anger and rejection, significant associated factors were paternal childcare leave (AOR 3.142; 95% Cl 1.138-8.676), paternal new-onset depression symptoms (AOR 2.829; 95% Cl 1.133-7.068), and maternal new-onset anger/rejection (AOR 7.064; 95% Cl 2.300-21.700). CONCLUSIONS The factors associated with new-onset paternal bonding failure from 1 to 6 months postpartum were paternal childcare leave, preterm birth, paternal postpartum depression symptoms, and maternal bonding failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The timing of primary teeth eruption is a visible indicator of infant physical growth other than body weight or height. It also reflects neurological integrity and development as well as nutrition, socioeconomic state, or underlying diseases. Therefore, the timing of primary teeth eruption is one of the major concerns for parents in health checkups for infants and children. However, the detailed developmental timing of teeth eruption differs depending on the survey methodology, country, or generation. We hypothesized that the timing of primary teeth eruption differs between the medical checkup by dentists and the daily records by parents. METHODS We conducted a questionnaire survey on the date of eruption of primary teeth as an adjunct study among Miyagi Regional Center participants in the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS), a large-scale birth cohort study. A total of 1695 responses (3793 participants) were analyzed. RESULTS The median ages of eruption were 7.1 months (male) and 7.6 months (female) for mandibular primary central incisors, 8.7 months (male) and 9.2 months (female) for maxillary primary central incisors, 10.0 months (male) and 10.3 months (female) for maxillary primary lateral incisors, and 10.4 months (male) and 10.8 months (female) for mandibular primary lateral incisors, which were earlier than the reported timings based on dental check-ups. Comparing the eruption time of preterm and term infants, the eruption time was earlier in preterm infants in the corrected ages. CONCLUSIONS The eruption timing observed and described by the parents is earlier than that examined by dentists at regular check-ups. In addition to examining the primary teeth eruption of full-term birth children, we also examined that of preterm birth children because of the increasing number of premature births. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report from a large cohort study to clarify the eruption time of primary teeth monitored by parents.

Abstract
The extravillous trophoblast cell lineage is a key feature of placentation and successful pregnancy. Knowledge of transcriptional regulation driving extravillous trophoblast cell development is limited. Here, we map the transcriptome and epigenome landscape as well as chromatin interactions of human trophoblast stem cells and their transition into extravillous trophoblast cells. We show that integrating chromatin accessibility, long-range chromatin interactions, transcriptomic, and transcription factor binding motif enrichment enables identification of transcription factors and regulatory mechanisms critical for extravillous trophoblast cell development. We elucidate functional roles for TFAP2C, SNAI1, and EPAS1 in the regulation of extravillous trophoblast cell development. EPAS1 is identified as an upstream regulator of key extravillous trophoblast cell transcription factors, including ASCL2 and SNAI1 and together with its target genes, is linked to pregnancy loss and birth weight. Collectively, we reveal activation of a dynamic regulatory network and provide a framework for understanding extravillous trophoblast cell specification in trophoblast cell lineage development and human placentation.

Abstract
Otitis media, one of the most common childhood diseases, is characterized by inflammation or infection of the middle ear. Due to their ease of access, daily probiotics are recommended for the prevention of early childhood otitis media. This study aimed to assess the impact of probiotics on the incidence of otitis media using a dataset (n = 95,380) from the Japan Environment and Children's Study, a nationwide birth cohort study. After multiple imputations, the association between the incidence of otitis media in early childhood and the daily frequency of yogurt intake in children and mothers was examined using a generalized linear model after adjusting for several confounders. Repeated incidence of otitis media during the 2 years after birth was found in 14,874 participants (15.6%). Based on participants with the lowest frequency of yogurt intake ("almost never") as the reference group, risk ratios for otitis media incidence decreased with higher frequencies of yogurt intake in children at one year of age, but also independently in mothers during pregnancy. The lowest risk ratio (95% confidence interval) for otitis media incidence at six months of age was observed with the most frequent yogurt intake (once/day or more) (0.54 [0.46-0.63]). Additionally, although a similar association was observed in the subgroup of those with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P), a high-risk group for severe recurrent otitis media, no statistical significance was observed. Thus, increased regular yogurt intake in both children and mothers was associated with a decrease of otitis media during early childhood.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to elucidate whether lower limb extra-fascial compartment and muscle areas affect the calf muscle pumping action on lower limbs. METHOD This study included 90 patients (180 limbs) who underwent preoperative air plethysmography (APG) and preoperative non-contrast computed tomography (CT) of the lower limbs for diagnosis of unilateral or bilateral primary varicose veins. A correlation between cross-sectional CT images and preoperative APG was confirmed. Cross-sectional CT was used to measure the extra-fascial compartment and muscle areas of the calf. The lower limbs were divided into two groups: those that were normal and those with primary varicose veins. RESULTS The extra-fascial compartment area was significantly correlated with the ejection fraction in normal (r = 0.388, n = 53, p = 0.004) and varicose limbs (r = 0.232, n = 91, p = 0.027). CONCLUSIONS In normal and varicose limbs, evaluation of ejection fraction, an indicator of muscle pumping, requires consideration of the extra-fascial compartment area.

Abstract
The placenta is a fast-evolving organ with large morphological and histological differences across eutherians, but the genetic changes driving placental evolution have not been fully elucidated. Transposable elements, through their capacity to quickly generate genetic variation and affect host gene regulation, may have helped to define species-specific trophoblast gene expression programs. Here we assess the contribution of transposable elements to human trophoblast gene expression as enhancers or promoters. Using epigenomic data from primary human trophoblast and trophoblast stem-cell lines, we identified multiple endogenous retrovirus families with regulatory potential that lie close to genes with preferential expression in trophoblast. These largely primate-specific elements are associated with inter-species gene expression differences and are bound by transcription factors with key roles in placental development. Using genetic editing, we demonstrate that several elements act as transcriptional enhancers of important placental genes, such as CSF1R and PSG5. We also identify an LTR10A element that regulates ENG expression, affecting secretion of soluble endoglin, with potential implications for preeclampsia. Our data show that transposons have made important contributions to human trophoblast gene regulation, and suggest that their activity may affect pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
Breastfeeding has many benefits for infant growth and maternal health, such as reducing breast cancer risk. However, data on maternal factors influencing breastfeeding are insufficient. To clarify the associations between maternal lifestyle and diet during pregnancy and exclusive breastfeeding (EBF), we conducted a prospective study of pregnant women within the framework of the Japan Environment and Children's Study (a nationwide birth cohort study). Of 97,413 pregnant women recruited between January 2011 and March 2014, 27,775 with a singleton first live birth whose dietary data during pregnancy and lactation data were complete were eligible. Using logistic regression, we evaluated the associations between lifestyle factors including smoking and prepregnancy body mass index and intake of nutrients (macronutrients, isoflavones, and dietary fiber), some of which are known risk factors of breast cancer, and EBF for one month postpartum (initiation of EBF). To investigate the associations of these factors with EBF for 6 months (continuation of EBF), 9582 women who had successfully completed one-month EBF were further followed up. Smoking and prepregnancy obesity were inversely associated with the initiation and continuation of EBF. Intakes of protein, fat, isoflavone, and dietary fiber were positively associated (p trend = 0.0001 for dietary fiber), and carbohydrate intake was inversely associated with the initiation of EBF. Dietary fiber intake was also associated with the continuation of EBF (p trend = 0.048). These findings indicate that maternal lifestyles during pregnancy affect lactation performance. Lifestyle adjustments during pregnancy may have favorable effects on maternal and children's health through successful breastfeeding.

Abstract
Adequate physical activity during pregnancy is crucial for maternal and fetal health. Although physical activity during pregnancy is restricted, social support and trust may have a favorable influence on physical activity. This study aimed to examine the association between cognitive social capital during pregnancy and prenatal physical activity among Japanese individuals. We also investigated whether social capital has an extended influence during pregnancy on physical activity 1.5 years after delivery. The cognitive social capital of 3,055 pregnant women in their second trimester was measured using nine questions on a self-administered questionnaire. Each cognitive social capital was classified into two or four groups based on their scores. Physical activity during pregnancy was measured using a validated questionnaire in the second trimester and at 1.5 years after delivery. Participants were classified as having adequate physical activity (≥ 150 min/week) or inadequate physical activity (< 150 min/week) based on the physical activity guidelines during pregnancy. After adjusting for confounders, emotional support was positively associated with the prevalence of adequate prenatal physical activity (P for trend = 0.002). Moreover, there was a positive association between emotional support during pregnancy and the prevalence of adequate physical activity 1.5 years after delivery. Among Japanese women, emotional support during pregnancy was associated with a higher prevalence of adequate prenatal physical activity during pregnancy and at 1.5 years after delivery.

Abstract
A malignant form of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema (NCPE) that develops soon after the termination of cardiopulmonary bypass support during cardiac surgery is rarely encountered. It sometimes requires immediate management, including venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO). In the first case, a 78-year-old female patient experienced fulminating NCPE after mitral valve plasty, which caused severe respiratory failure and hemodynamic instability due to a huge amount of sputum. In the second case, a 47-year-old male patient presented with right-sided unilateral pulmonary edema with a substantial amount of sputum after minimally invasive cardiac surgery for mitral valve repair. In both cases, VV-ECMO and aggressive fluid replacement were promptly initiated. The NCPE resolved on post-operative day 2, resulting in the successful termination of VV-ECMO. NCPE leads to lethal respiratory failure with multifactorial causes during cardiac surgery. However, as NCPE is potentially transient, immediate treatment comprising VV-ECMO and aggressive fluid replacement can improve clinical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Postpartum smoking relapse is a serious public health concern. Previous studies have identified several risk factors for postpartum smoking relapse; however, very little is known about the predictors of early postpartum smoking relapse. This study aimed to determine postpartum smoking relapse status and its associated risk factors at 1 month postpartum among Japanese women. METHODS Data were obtained from 93,851 mothers with live births in an ongoing birth cohort study, the Japan Environment and Children's Study. Data on smoking status and confounding variables were collected using self-administered questionnaires and medical record transcripts. Self-administered questionnaires were administered during the first trimester, second/third trimester, and 1 month after delivery. A multiple logistic regression analysis was performed. RESULTS Among the 14,326 mothers who smoked during pregnancy, 10,917 (76.2%) quit smoking during pregnancy. Subsequently, 617 (5.7%) of the mothers who had quit relapsed smoking at 1 month postpartum. Maternal age (≤24, ≥35), maternal education (≤12 years), parity (≥Second), feeding method (Formula milk), partner smoking status during pregnancy (Smoker), number of cigarettes per day before the cessation of smoking (≥11), maternal alcohol consumption at 1-month postpartum (Drinker), postpartum depression (EPDS score ≥9), and spending time at the parents' home after delivery (≥14 days) were associated with smoking relapse. CONCLUSIONS A certain number of mothers relapsed even 1 month postpartum. Besides mother's alcohol and smoking habit before pregnancy, breastfeeding and partner smoking are important factors in early postpartum smoking relapse in Japan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bruxism is defined as a repetitive masticatory muscle activity, characterized by clenching or grinding of the teeth and/or by bracing or thrusting of the mandible. Although the bruxism etiology can be bidirectionally described with sleep disorders, there are few studies available to understand the association of sleep duration with bruxism behavior in early childhood. METHODS A dataset of children (n = 90,148) from the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS) - an ongoing nationwide, prospective birth cohort study - was used to investigate the prospective association of the infant's sleep duration with bruxism behavior, which were acquired using self-reported questionnaire. After multiple imputation of data, the association between sleep duration and bruxism behavior in early childhood was examined using a binomial logistic regression analysis. It was conducted with adjustments for several maternal (e.g., age at delivery and sleep duration) and child-related (e.g., sex and sleep position) variables. RESULTS The prevalence of bruxism behavior at the ages of two and four were 16.2% and 22.5%, respectively. Using the shortest sleep duration group's participants (≤13 h) as the reference, the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for prevalence of bruxism behavior decreased with longer sleep duration at one month of age, but not at 36 months of age, after covariate adjustments. Furthermore, in comparison with the impacts between daytime and nighttime sleep, nighttime sleep with longer duration were dominantly associated with bruxism behavior. CONCLUSION The sleep duration in infant stage, especially during newborn stage was associated with the prevalence of bruxism behavior in children.

Abstract
Optical absorption spectra in the visible and near-infrared light were measured for magnetoelectric spin glass Ni_{0.4}Mn_{0.6}TiO_{3} under various field-cooled conditions. Despite the absence of long-range magnetic-dipole order, this spin-glass system exhibits nonreciprocal directional dichroism (NDD) at zero external field after a magnetoelectric field-cooled procedure. This result is distinct from previous studies on NDD in systems with magnetic toroidal moments induced either by long-range magnetic-dipole order or by applying crossed electric and magnetic fields. The present Letter conclusively demonstrates that the observed NDD originates from magnetoelectrically induced ferroic order of magnetic toroidal moments without conventional magnetic-dipole order.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exposure to several metallic elements has been suggested as a risk factor for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), but inconsistent findings have been reported. This study aimed to examine the association between the maternal whole blood concentration of metallic elements (Hg, Pb, Cd, Mn, and Se) and GDM using the dataset of the Japan Environment and Children's Study (JECS), a nationwide birth cohort study, which was designed to examine the adverse effects of pre/post-natal exposure to hazardous environment. METHODS The data of 78,964 pregnant women who were participants of JECS were used. Blood samples were collected from the pregnant women at second/third trimester of gestation. We employed logistic regression analysis, quantile g-computation (QGC) and a distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) to examine the association between the blood concentration of metallic elements and the risk of GDM. RESULTS The prevalence of GDM was 2.1%. In the logistic regression analyses, maternal blood Hg was associated with an increased risk of GDM. In QGC analysis, although metallic elements mixtures were not related to an increased risk of GDM, Hg (52.6%) may be the main contributor. According to the results of DLNM, for maternal exposure to Hg, 4.99 ng/g was identified as its susceptible minimum window for elevated risk of GDM. CONCLUSIONS Our findings highlighted an association between Hg exposure and an increased risk of GDM. Studies of the underlying mechanisms and potential contributing factors, including fish intake, of this association are warranted.

Abstract
The relationship between fish eating habits and menstrual pain is unknown. Elucidating this relationship can inform dietary guidance for reproductive age women with menstrual pain. The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between fish intake frequency/preference and menstrual pain. This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Miyagi Regional Center as an adjunct study of the Japan Environment and Children’s Study, and 2060 eligible women (mean age, 31.9 years) participated. Fish intake frequency (“< 1 time/week,” “1 time/week,” “2–3 times/week,” or “≥ 4 times/week”), preference (“like,” “neutral,” or “dislike”), and menstrual pain (no/mild or moderate-to-severe) were assessed at 1.5 years after the last delivery through self-administered questionnaires. The association between fish intake frequency/preference and prevalence of moderate-to-severe menstrual pain was evaluated through logistic regression analyses. Our results show that, compared with the “< 1 time/week” (38.0%) group, the “1 time/week” (26.9%), “2–3 times/week” (27.8%), and “≥ 4 times/week” (23.9%) groups showed a lower prevalence of moderate-to-severe menstrual pain (p < 0.01). The prevalence of moderate-to-severe menstrual pain was 27.7%, 27.6%, and 34.4% in the “like,” “neutral,” and “dislike” groups, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression showed that frequent fish intake was associated with a lower prevalence of moderate-to-severe menstrual pain (“1 time/week”: odds ratio [OR] = 0.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.41–0.86, “2–3 times/week”: OR = 0.64; 95% CI, 0.45–0.90 and “≥ 4 times/week”: OR = 0.52; 95% CI, 0.34–0.80; trend p = 0.004). Multivariate logistic regression showed no association between fish preference and moderate-to-severe menstrual pain (“dislike” vs “like”: OR = 1.16; 95% CI, 0.78–1.73). There was a significant negative association between fish intake frequency and menstrual pain. It is suggested that fish intake can reduce or prevent menstrual pain.

Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate tranexamic acid (TA) for the prevention of type II endoleak (EL2) at a high level of evidence by a randomized controlled trial. Methods: Patients who underwent endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) between May 2017 and January 2020 were included. Patients in the TA group were given 750 mg of TA daily for a month after EVAR. The incidence of EL2, blood coagulation/fibrinolytic ability, and changes in aneurysm diameter were compared between two groups. Result: On the 7th day after EVAR, EL2 was found in 14 patients (34.1%) in the TA group and in 7 patients (15.9%) in the non-TA group. It was also found in 12 patients (29.3%) in the TA group and 6 patients (13.6%) in the non-TA group at 1 month after EVAR. There was no significant difference in the incidence of EL2 between the two groups (p = 0.051, 0.08). Blood tests revealed that fibrin degradation product and D-dimer were significantly suppressed in the TA group, there was no significant difference in the change of diameter regardless of the TA intake. Conclusion: This study proved anti-fibrinolytic effect of the TA, but it alone had not enough power to decrease EL2 after EVAR.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to determine site-specific mechanical properties of the great saphenous vein (GSV) harvested from various sites in the same cadaver. Methods GSV samples were harvested from three sites: the thigh, knee, and lower leg. The thickness and diameter of the samples were measured, and the tensile test was performed to measure stiffness and Young’s modulus. Results The stiffness of the GSV harvested from knees in the longitudinal direction was lower than those from other sites, whereas the stiffness of the GSV harvested from the lower leg in the circumferential direction was lower than that from the thigh. Conclusions The GSV has site-specific mechanical properties. Thus, in addition to morphological evaluations such as echo and computed tomography in preoperative graft surgical evaluations, knowledge of the mechanical properties at each site can improve the patency rate and prevent aneurysmal expansion.

Abstract
The first cell fate commitment during mammalian development is the specification of the inner cell mass and trophectoderm. This irreversible cell fate commitment should be epigenetically regulated, but the precise mechanism is largely unknown in humans. Here, we show that naïve human embryonic stem (hES) cells can transdifferentiate into trophoblast stem (hTS) cells, but primed hES cells cannot. Our transcriptome and methylome analyses reveal that a primate-specific miRNA cluster on chromosome 19 (C19MC) is active in naïve hES cells but epigenetically silenced in primed ones. Moreover, genome and epigenome editing using CRISPR/Cas systems demonstrate that C19MC is essential for hTS cell maintenance and C19MC-reactivated primed hES cells can give rise to hTS cells. Thus, we reveal that C19MC activation confers differentiation potential into trophoblast lineages on hES cells. Our findings are fundamental to understanding the epigenetic regulation of human early development and pluripotency. Little is known about the epigenetic mechanisms of the first cell fate commitment in humans. Here, the authors show that activation of the miRNA cluster C19MC confers differentiation potential into trophoblast lineages on human embryonic stem cells.

Abstract
Increasing the amount of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) in human milk is an important strategy for infant growth and development. We investigated the associations of LCPUFA compositions in human milk with maternal diet (especially fish and shellfish intake), with fatty acid Δ5 desaturase gene (FADS1) polymorphisms, and with gene-diet interactions. The present study was performed as part of an adjunct study of the Japan Environment and Children’s Study. The participants were 304 lactating females, who provided human milk 6−7 months after delivery. Fatty acids in human milk were analyzed by gas chromatography, and dietary surveys were conducted using a brief self-administered diet history questionnaire. We also analyzed a single nucleotide polymorphism of FADS1 (rs174547, T/C). There was a significant difference in arachidonic acid (ARA) composition in human milk among the genotype groups, and the values were decreasing in the order of TT > TC > CC. The concentrations of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were also different between TT and CC genotype, indicating a tendency for decreasing values in the same order. The composition of ARA showed significant gene−dietary interactions in multiple regression analysis, and the positive correlation between fish and shellfish intake and ARA composition in human milk was significant only in the CC genotype. Moreover, the factor most strongly associated with EPA and DHA composition in human milk was fish and shellfish intake. Therefore, it was suggested that increasing fish and shellfish intake in mothers may increase EPA and DHA composition in human milk, while increasing fish and shellfish intake in CC genotype mothers may lead to increased ARA composition in human milk.

Abstract
A decline in the proportion of male births (secondary sex ratio, SSR) has been seen in several countries including Japan in recent years. Although previous studies have reported that the SSR is affected by exposure to chemical substances such as dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls, as well as heavy metals such as methylmercury, the effects of lead exposure on the SSR have been little studied. The aim of this study was to determine the association between maternal lead exposure and SSR. In a large-scale nationwide birth cohort study, maternal blood lead level (BLL) was determined using whole blood from the second or third trimester of pregnancy. The association between SSR and maternal BLL was estimated using multivariable logistic models. Binomial distribution was applied to examine the differences in SSR by dividing the participants into five groups based on BLL. The primary outcome was SSR, and the child sex was obtained from the medical record transcripts. Of 104,062 fetal records, 85,171 were examined for analysis. The median maternal BLL was 5.85 ng/g (5th-95th percentile 3.45-10.6 ng/g). The overall proportion of males among participating infants was 0.512. In logistic regression models adjusted for covariates, the analysis revealed an increased odds ratio for SSR with higher blood lead concentrations [Group 2: adjusted OR 1.082, 95% confidence interval 1.037 to 1.129, Group 3: 1.122, 1.074 to 1.171, Group 4: 1.214, 1.163 to 1.268, Group 5: 1.279, 1.224 to 1.336]. Compared to the general birth probability in Japan, the group with low BLL had a lower SSR and the group with high BLL had a higher SSR. Higher maternal lead exposures during pregnancy were associated with increased SSR. Further investigations including assessment of paternal lead exposure are necessary to understand the association between lead exposure and SSR.

Abstract
Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P), the most prevalent congenital anomaly, is understood to negatively affect a wide range of child development. Since the concept remains controversial, because most published work is from cross-sectional studies, we examined the neurodevelopmental trajectories in participants with CL/P through a longitudinal comparison with the general population during early childhood using data from a nationwide birth cohort study in Japan. The linear mixed models for each domain of the Ages and Stages Questionnaire, third edition (ASQ-3), were used to detect differences in standardised mean scores between groups. The ASQ-3 is a general neurodevelopmental screening tool comprising communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem-solving, and personal-social domains. Participants' neurodevelopment was determined semi-annually from 6 to 36 months of age. The trajectories of standardised mean scores in each domain showed several significant differences between the control and CL/P groups, with the maximum difference at 24 months of age in the communication domain. Indeed, CL/P was associated with significantly lower scores in the communication (coefficient: -3.31, 95% CI: -5.09 to -1.14), problem-solving (coefficient: -3.13, 95% CI: -5.07 to -1.18), and personal-social domains (coefficient: -1.99, 95% CI: -3.87 to -0.11). Trajectories of ASQ-3 scores suggest neurodevelopmental delays in children with CL/P.

Abstract
Background Small bowel bleeding is an uncommon cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding, which may require different management. Case Presentation A 37‐year‐old man presenting with hematochezia was promptly diagnosed with small bowel bleeding by computed tomography angiography. Transcatheter arterial embolization was carried out because the patient's hemodynamic status deteriorated. Hemostasis was achieved by embolization with imipenem/cilastatin, although superselective embolization failed. Capsule endoscopy revealed multiple ulcers and erosions. Drug‐induced small bowel injury was suspected to be the cause of small bowel bleeding. Conclusion Computed tomography angiography can facilitate the management of lower gastrointestinal bleeding. Considering transcatheter arterial embolization and choosing an optimal embolic agent depending on the situation are important in the management of hemodynamically unstable patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Distal stent graft-induced new entry (SINE) is a serious complication of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for Stanford type B aortic dissection (TBAD). The PETTICOAT-snowshoe technique was developed to prevent distal SINE for double-barrel TBAD. Initially, a proximal stent-graft (SG) is deployed, followed by the extension of a bare stent above the celiac artery and deployment of a second SG within the bare stent. This study examined whether the PETTICOAT-snowshoe technique prevents distal SINE. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a single-center, retrospective study comparing two groups that underwent conventional standard TEVAR between January 2013 and September 2018 and TEVAR using the PETTICOAT-snowshoe technique after October 2018 for double-barrel TBAD. RESULTS Twenty-seven patients (74% male) underwent standard TEVAR (group A), while another 27 (78% male) underwent the PETTICOAT-snowshoe technique (group B). TEVAR was performed in the chronic phase on 15 patients (55.6%) in group A and on 16 (59.2%) in group B. Aorta-related mortality occurred in one patient in group A (3.7%). Oversizing ratios at the distal edge of the SG diameter to the major axis of the true lumen were 25% ± 26% and 25% ± 21% in groups A and B, respectively. During the follow-up period, five patients (18.5%) in group A and none in group B (p = 0.02) developed distal SINE. Three out of the five patients with distal SINE in group A were treated with additional TEVAR, one with thoracoabdominal aortic replacement, and one with conservative observation. The freedom from distal SINE rate was significantly higher in group B than in group A (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS The PETTICOAT-snowshoe technique significantly prevented distal SINE during the mid-term period even with the same distal SG oversizing as conventional standard TEVAR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Daily toothbrushing prevents early childhood caries, but reinforcement depends on facilitative parenting behaviours. Mother-to-infant bonding, the maternal affection towards the infant, is an environmental factor that strongly influences parenting. AIM This study examined the association between maternal bonding and children's daily toothbrushing frequency. DESIGN The sample consisted of 83 954 mother-infant pairs at two years postpartum, derived from the initial sample of JECS (cohort study), which included 104 062 foetuses. Maternal bonding disorders were assessed using the Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS). After multiple imputation for missing data, a multinomial logistic regression analysis was conducted with adjustments for several maternal (eg, age at delivery) and child-related (eg, self-performed toothbrushing) variables. RESULTS The odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for the association of maternal bonding disorders with the low (once per day) and the very low child toothbrushing frequency (<1 per day) was 1.12 (1.07-1.17) and 1.23 (0.91-1.66), respectively, after covariate adjustments. Furthermore, the univariate general linear model showed that the mean MIBS scores significantly decreased as the daily child toothbrushing frequency increased. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of maternal bonding disorders at one year postpartum was prospectively associated with a lower frequency of child toothbrushing at two years of age.

Abstract
Here, Hada et al. comprehensively analyzed epigenomic features of mouse trophoblast stem cells (TSCs). They used genome-wide, high-throughput analyses to show that the TSC genome contains large-scale (>1-Mb) rigid heterochromatin architectures that have a high degree of histone H3.1/3.2–H3K9me3 accumulation, termed TSC-defined highly heterochromatinized domains (THDs), and are uniquely developed in placental lineage cells that serve to protect them from fate reprogramming to stably maintain placental function. The placenta is a highly evolved, specialized organ in mammals. It differs from other organs in that it functions only for fetal maintenance during gestation. Therefore, there must be intrinsic mechanisms that guarantee its unique functions. To address this question, we comprehensively analyzed epigenomic features of mouse trophoblast stem cells (TSCs). Our genome-wide, high-throughput analyses revealed that the TSC genome contains large-scale (>1-Mb) rigid heterochromatin architectures with a high degree of histone H3.1/3.2–H3K9me3 accumulation, which we termed TSC-defined highly heterochromatinized domains (THDs). Importantly, depletion of THDs by knockdown of CAF1, an H3.1/3.2 chaperone, resulted in down-regulation of TSC markers, such as Cdx2 and Elf5, and up-regulation of the pluripotent marker Oct3/4, indicating that THDs maintain the trophoblastic nature of TSCs. Furthermore, our nuclear transfer technique revealed that THDs are highly resistant to genomic reprogramming. However, when H3K9me3 was removed, the TSC genome was fully reprogrammed, giving rise to the first TSC cloned offspring. Interestingly, THD-like domains are also present in mouse and human placental cells in vivo, but not in other cell types. Thus, THDs are genomic architectures uniquely developed in placental lineage cells, which serve to protect them from fate reprogramming to stably maintain placental function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We evaluated the relationship between prenatal folic acid supplementation and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in 3-year-old offspring. METHODS We used data from the Japan Environment and Children's Study, a nationwide prospective birth cohort study. We analyzed the data to determine the association between folic acid supplement use and the incidence of ASD in offspring, and classified participants into three groups based on the time of initiation of folic acid supplementation, as follows: (1) preconception users of folic acid supplements and (2) post-conception users, and (3) non-users. The dietary folate intake of study participants was also classified into three groups (<200 µg, 200 µg to <400 µg, ≥400 µg). RESULTS Overall, 361 offspring of 96,931 participants with single pregnancies were diagnosed with ASD (0.37%). A total of 7,046 participants (7.3%) used folic acid supplements before conception, 29,984 (30.9%) took them after detection of pregnancy, and 59,901 (61.8%) never received them. Multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated no association between prenatal folic acid supplementation and ASD in offspring (preconception use: adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.189; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.819-1.727 and post-conception use: AOR, 1.072; 95% CI, 0.840-1.368); additionally, no association was observed with the use of folic acid supplements and/or multivitamin supplements (preconception use: AOR, 1.273; 95% CI, 0.921-1.760 and post-conception use: AOR, 1.132; 95% CI, 0.885-1.449). Moreover, no significant association was observed in participants with combined prenatal supplement use and dietary folate intake. CONCLUSIONS Maternal use of folic acid supplements from the pre- or post-conception period was not significantly associated with ASD in 3-year-old offspring in Japan. Evaluation of the dietary folate intake from preconception also showed no significant association.

Abstract
This study aimed to clarify the interannual changes in intimate partner violence against pregnant women after the March 11, 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake in target areas of Miyagi Prefecture that were damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. Because of this disaster, in Miyagi Prefecture, approximately 12,000 people died or went missing, and approximately 238,000 buildings were destroyed. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the Great East Japan Earthquake is the fourth largest earthquake in the world and the largest in Japan since 1900. The present study was part of the Japan Environment and Children's Study. Data from June 2011 to May 2014 of 79,222 pregnant women were analyzed, calculating the prevalence of physical and mental intimate partner violence in the inland, north coastal, and south coastal areas of Miyagi. These prevalence rates were compared with nationwide rates of intimate partner violence in 2011 using univariate and logistic regression analyses. After the disaster, the incidence of mental intimate partner violence increased in the south coastal area and then improved later (19.4%, 13.1%, and 13.3% for south coastal area, and 13.8%, 13.8%, and 13.1% for nationwide in 2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively). However, in the north coastal area, the incidence of physical intimate partner violence increased after the disaster and then improved later (2.7%, 1.5%, and 1.3% for north coastal area, and 1.4%, 1.3%, and 1.1% for nationwide in 2011, 2012, and 2013, respectively). In the inland area, however, the prevalence of both mental and physical intimate partner violence was consistently higher than nationwide rates after the disaster.

Abstract
Exposure to environmental factors during fetal development may lead to epigenomic modifications in fetal germ cells, altering gene expression and promoting diseases in successive generations. In mouse, maternal exposure to di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is known to induce defects in spermatogenesis in successive generations, but the mechanism(s) of impaired spermatogenesis are unclear. Here, we showed that maternal DEHP exposure results in DNA hypermethylation of promoters of spermatogenesis-related genes in fetal testicular germ cells in F1 mice, and hypermethylation of Hist1h2ba, Sycp1, and Taf7l, which are crucial for spermatogenesis, persisted from fetal testicular cells to adult spermatogonia, resulting in the downregulation of expression of these genes. Forced methylation of these gene promoters silenced expression of these loci in a reporter assay. These results suggested that maternal DEHP exposure-induced hypermethylation of Hist1h2ba, Sycp1, and Taf7l results in downregulation of these genes in spermatogonia and subsequent defects in spermatogenesis, at least in the F1 generation.

Abstract
An 85-year-old man visited our hospital with bilateral leg weakness. Blood tests revealed an abrupt deterioration of renal function. Computed tomography revealed a 53-mm aortic aneurysm at the level of the diaphragm with an aortic dissection after branching of the superior mesenteric artery. An emergency left axillary–left femoral artery bypass surgery was performed to secure blood flow to the kidneys and lower limbs. Five days later, a transcatheter balloon fenestration for the stenosis was performed, and the blood pressure of the infrarenal aorta was improved. Both the dorsal pedis and posterior tibial arteries became palpable, and renal function was improved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Daily toothbrushing behaviour is very effective for the prevention of early childhood dental caries (ECC), but is mostly dependent upon parental management. Intrapersonal association between lower toothbrushing frequency and depression is well known; however, the impact of maternal postpartum depression on child toothbrushing behaviour within the mother-child dyad remains unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the association between the prevalence of maternal postpartum depression and lower toothbrushing frequency in children aged two years. METHODS A secondary analysis of a data set from the Japan Environment and Children's Study was performed. A total of 104 062 fetuses were enrolled after obtaining informed written parental consent, in which 84 533 mother-infant pairs were included after applying exclusion criteria. The Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) was used to evaluate maternal postpartum depression (a total score of ≥9 in EPDS) at one and six months postpartum. Indeed, the participants were classified based on the persistence of postpartum depression: 'Resilient' (no prevalence); 'Improving' (prevalence only at one month postpartum); 'Emergent' (prevalence only at six months postpartum); and 'Chronic' (prevalence at both time points). The association between postpartum depression and a toothbrushing frequency in children (the reference group: more than once per day, the low group: once per day, and the very-low group: less than once per day) was examined using Poisson regression models with adjustments for maternal and child characteristics after multiple imputations for missing data. RESULTS The prevalence of maternal postpartum depression at one and six months postpartum was 13.9% and 11.4%, respectively; the proportions of each persistence group were 81.1% ('Resilient'), 7.5% ('Improving'), 5.0% ('Emergent') and 6.4% ('Chronic'). Concerning children's toothbrushing frequency, 51.6% and 0.5% of participants self-reported frequencies of once per day and less than once per day, respectively. The association of maternal postpartum depression with a lower toothbrushing frequency in children consistently had higher relative risks (RRs). However, these associations were weakened when adjusting for whether the child could self-perform toothbrushing or whether this was done under parental supervision. A key result is that participants with persistent postpartum depression at both one and six month(s) postpartum showed the highest adjusted RRs (95% CI) for lower toothbrushing frequency in children (1.08 [1.04-1.12] with a decrease in children's toothbrushing frequency). CONCLUSION Maternal mental health provides valuable screening information for children with lower toothbrushing frequency for the purpose of preventing ECC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A correlation between gonadal steroids and depressive symptoms during the perinatal period has long been suggested; however, the underlying mechanism for this relationship remains unclear. METHODS This study was designed to examine the correlation between gonadal steroid concentrations of umbilical cord blood and postpartum depressive symptoms as well as longitudinal alterations in maternal plasma gonadal steroid concentrations among 204 perinatal women. The levels of postpartum depressive state at 1 month postpartum were evaluated using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. RESULTS Umbilical progesterone, estradiol, and testosterone levels were significantly higher in infants delivered by depressed mothers (870.7 ± 281.7 ng/ml, 8607.7 ± 4354.6 pg/ml, and 2.5 ± 0.9 ng/ml, respectively) than those delivered by nondepressed mothers (741.3 ± 324.0 ng/ml, 5221.9 ± 3416.3 pg/ml, and 2.1 ± 0.6 ng/ml, p < .01, p < .05, and p < .05, respectively). Postpartum plasma progesterone levels of depressed mothers (3.5 ± 3.1 ng/ml) measured in the early postpartum period were significantly lower than those of nondepressed mothers (9.1 ± 9.7 ng/ml, p < .01). The decrease in progesterone from mid-pregnancy to the early postpartum period was significantly higher in depressed mothers than in nondepressed mothers. Subgroup analyses specific to primiparas or multiparas indicated that a significant drop of progesterone was seen only in primiparas. CONCLUSION The current study suggests that the delivery of a placenta/fetus with high gonadal steroid production may cause a wider range of fluctuations in maternal plasma gonadal steroid concentrations, which may be concurrent with postpartum depressive symptoms.
