Abstract
Anti-diabetic agent-related hypoglycemia is a serious complication in type 2 diabetic patients on hemodialysis. Therefore, we assessed the efficacy and tolerability of 24 weeks of monotherapy with vildagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase four inhibitor, which is a new class of antidiabetic agent. This open-label, single-arm clinical trial was performed on 26 patients on hemodialysis. The primary assessments were changes in postprandial glucose level and glycated albumin (GA). During the study, three patients dropped out, and data from 23 patients were analyzed. Significant reductions were seen in postprandial glucose (-2.60 ± 3.80 mmol/L, P < 0.001) and GA (-2.59 ± 2.33%, P < 0.001) levels. No serious drug-related adverse events were observed. Vildagliptin monotherapy can be recommended for glycemic control in type 2 diabetic patients on hemodialysis. This trial was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network (no. UMIN000003661). (J Diabetes Invest, doi: 10.1111/j.2040-1124.2011.00169.x, 2011).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The evaluation of disease severity and activity of chronic urticaria (CU) is essential for the adequate treatment of patients. However, there is no reliable biomarker for such evaluations. Recently, markers of blood coagulation and fibrinolysis have been revealed to be elevated in severe cases of CU. In this article, we studied the coagulation/fibrinolysis and inflammation markers and their relationship to disease activity in patients with CU. METHODS Plasma fibrin degradation products (FDP), d-dimer and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured with the assessment of disease severity and skin reaction to autologous serum in 82 patients with CU and 37 patients with acute urticaria, idiopathic angioedema (AE) or inducible types of urticaria (IU). RESULTS The levels of FDP in patients with CU were significantly higher than those in patients with IU, but no other differences in FDP, d-dimer and CRP were observed among patients with different types of urticaria. These markers of patients with CU were well correlated with each other and significantly associated with disease severity of CU, but not with skin reactions to autologous serum. In 37 patients with CU, levels of all these parameters reduced as their disease condition improved, while they increased when the disease became aggravated. Regarding FDP, this relationship was observed even if FDP concentrations were within normal range throughout the study. CONCLUSIONS The measurement of plasma FDP, d-dimer and serum CRP may be useful for the assessment of disease activity of CU.

Abstract
We have investigated the changes occurring in the electronic structure of digitally controlled SrVO(3) ultrathin films across the metal-insulator transition (MIT) by the film thickness using in situ photoemission spectroscopy. With decreasing film thickness, a pseudogap is formed at E(F) through spectral weight transfer from the coherent part to the incoherent part. The pseudogap finally evolves into an energy gap that is indicative of the MIT in a SrVO(3) ultrathin film. The observed spectral behavior is reproduced by layer dynamical-mean-field-theory calculations, and it indicates that the observed MIT is caused by the reduction in the bandwidth due to the dimensional crossover.

Abstract
Indian hedgehog (Ihh) is essential for embryonic mandibular condylar growth and disc primordium formation. To determine whether it regulates those processes during post-natal life, we ablated Ihh in cartilage of neonatal mice and assessed the consequences on temporomandibular joint (TMJ) growth and organization over age. Ihh deficiency caused condylar disorganization and growth retardation and reduced polymorphic cell layer proliferation. Expression of Sox9, Runx2, and Osterix was low, as was that of collagen II, collagen I, and aggrecan, thus altering the fibrocartilaginous nature of the condyle. Though a disc formed, it exhibited morphological defects, partial fusion with the glenoid bone surface, reduced synovial cavity space, and, unexpectedly, higher lubricin expression. Analysis of the data shows, for the first time, that continuous Ihh action is required for completion of post-natal TMJ growth and organization. Lubricin overexpression in mutants may represent a compensatory response to sustain TMJ movement and function.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To find serum markers that may serve as indices for an early diagnosis of degeneration or damage of the articular cartilage. METHODS Twenty-four healthy volunteers, 19 individuals with knee trauma (KT) and 31 with knee osteoarthritis (OA) were evaluated. KT patients were divided into a group (n = 5) with an injury <2 months old (recent KT) and a group (n = 14) with that >2 months old (old KT). Articular cartilage damage was assessed using either arthroscopy or direct observation. Serum concentrations of hyaluronic acid (HA), cartilage proteoglycan aggrecan turnover epitope (CS846) and cartilage oligomeric protein (COMP) were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits and those of keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin-6-sulfate (C6S) using high-performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS Serum KS in the recent KT group (2095 +/- 594 ng/ml) was significantly higher than that in the old KT group (1373 +/- 418 ng/ml; P = 0.021), and serum COMP in the recent KT group (1572 +/- 182 ng/ml) showed a tendency that was higher than that in the old KT group (1350 +/- 250 ng/ml; P = 0.079). Serum KS in OA patients with Kellgren and Lawrence (KL) grades 0 and I (1456 +/- 334 ng/ml) showed a tendency that was higher than that in OA patients with KL grades II, III and IV (1248 +/- 220 ng/ml; P = 0.084). CONCLUSIONS The serum concentration of KS correlated with the damage of the articular cartilage and it was significantly increased even at an early stage after the injury.

Abstract
This study examined the clinical picture of probable medication-overuse headache (MOH) and the presence of any features peculiar to Japan. In a retrospective study of 47 patients, type of primary headache, type of medicine overused, method and result of withdrawal were investigated. Among the 47 patients, 80.9% had migraine only, and 85.1% overused combination medications. While 36 patients (76.6%) succeeded in withdrawal, five patients (10.6%) failed. One patient (2.1%) had not improved by 2 months after withdrawal and was diagnosed with chronic migraine and chronic tension-type headache without MOH. The remaining five patients (10.6%) dropped out. All dropout patients were recommended abrupt inpatient withdrawal, but chose abrupt outpatient withdrawal. As features peculiar to Japan, many patients with probable MOH overused combination analgesics, particularly females.

Abstract
While dental pulp appears to be able to form mineralized matrices that do not always resemble dentin, the precise characteristics of the hard tissue and the mechanism of its induction remain unknown. Therefore, we evaluated hard tissue induced by transplantation of pulp into subcutaneous tissue. Seven days after transplantation, initial hard tissue was formed at the inner periphery of the pulp. After 14 days, this hard tissue expanded inwardly. Mineralized matrix was immunopositive for osteocalcin, osteopontin, and bone sialoprotein, but negative for dentin sialoprotein. Transplantation of GFP-labeled pulp into wild-type rats showed these formative cells to have been derived from the transplant. TEM observation revealed apatite crystals within necrotic cells and matrix vesicles at the initial stage of calcification. These results indicate that pulp cells possess the ability to form a bone- or cementum-like matrix. Calcification of the matrix may occur in necrotic cells and matrix vesicles, followed by collagenous calcification.

Abstract
The levels of mRNA expression in regulatory genes that are involved in the pathological changes of aortic atherosclerotic and fibroblastic intimal thickening was investigated in Japanese quail. The quail were divided into a control diet group and an atherogenic diet group. The quail were euthanized at 2, 4, 8, and 12 wk after consuming either a control diet or an atherogenic diet. Thereafter, both histological and immunohistochemical studies and mRNA expression analysis of the cell-cycle-regulating genes in aortic atherosclerotic lesions were performed on selected ascending aortas and their large branches. In the atherogenic diet group, aortic lipid-containing intimal and atheromatous lesions were seen mainly at 8 and 12 wk, respectively. Semiquantitative reverse-transcription PCR was used to analyze the alterations of mRNA expression on the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Messenger RNA expression of the c-fos and c-src genes showed peak levels at 8 wk in the atherogenic diet group. However, no significant alteration of c-jun mRNA expression was noted during the entire experimental period. According to the progression of aortic atherosclerotic lesions, c-myc mRNA expression in the atherogenic diet group increased chronologically, and the highest level was observed at 12 wk. Alterations in mRNA expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and the p27 gene were similar to that of c-myc. The levels of c-myc, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and p27 mRNA expression was significantly correlated with the degree of aortic atherosclerotic lesion development at 12 wk in our experiment.
