Abstract
BACKGROUND Nature therapies are gaining attention as non-pharmacological treatments for depressive and anxiety disorders, but research on their effectiveness in patients is limited. This study investigates the mood-improving effects of visual stimulation with natural environmental images in patients with depressive and anxiety disorders. METHODS We conducted a randomized crossover comparison trial involving 60 right-handed adult participants with depressive or anxiety disorders and receiving outpatient treatment. Visual stimuli of natural environments consisted of green-themed nature images, while the control stimuli featured urban scenes dominated by buildings. The stimulation lasted for 3 min, during which orbital prefrontal brain activity was measured using a 2-channel Near-infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) system, and heart rate variability was assessed using fingertip accelerated plethysmography. RESULTS Mood enhancement effects were observed in both the depressive and anxiety disorder groups following visual stimulation with nature images. In the depression group, orbital prefrontal oxygenated hemoglobin concentration significantly increased after visual stimulation with nature images, while there were no significant changes in the anxiety group. However, in the anxiety group, a correlation was found between reduced orbital prefrontal oxygenated hemoglobin in response to nature images and increased mood-enhancement. Furthermore, the severity of depressive symptoms did not significantly affect the intervention effects, whereas heightened anxiety symptoms was associated with a smaller mood enhancement effect. DISCUSSION Our study demonstrates the benefits of nature image stimulation for patients with depressive and anxiety disorders. Differential orbital prefrontal brain activity impacts notwithstanding, both conditions exhibited mood enhancement, affirming the value of nature image stimulation.

Abstract
Patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) often have complications of hematologic abnormalities and pancytopenia, which can be fatal. In patients with AN, the rates of anemia, leukopenia, and thrombocytopenia have been reported as 16.7-39%, 7.9-39%, and 5-11%, respectively; in patients with severe AN, the rates of anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and pancytopenia have been reported as 47-83%, 49.5-79%, 16.8-25%, and 16.4-23%, respectively. Hematologic abnormalities are often associated with morphological myeloid transformations such as hypoplasia, aplasia, and gelatinous marrow transformation (GMT). Hypocellularity, such as hypoplastic or aplastic, often results in a dry tap, whereas GMT does not usually result in this because of the aspiration of gelatinous material. Therefore, bone marrow aspiration in patients with pancytopenia with AN usually does not show a dry tap. The bone marrow adipocyte (BMA) volume increases in patients with AN, except in those with severe malnutrition. Patients with AN experiencing pancytopenia often exhibit GMT associated with atrophy of the originally increased volume of BMAs. Herein, we report the case of a patient with pancytopenia with AN who exhibited a dry tap on bone marrow aspiration. A bone marrow biopsy revealed sparse GMT with decreased BMA volume and areas of hematopoietic cells, adipocytes, and no GMT. A 13-year-old Japanese girl weighing 25.8 kg (BMI: 10.0 kg/m2) was admitted to our hospital and received nutritional therapy. The patient presented with pancytopenia and fever, prompting the conduct of bone marrow examinations. Bone marrow aspiration resulted in a dry tap, and the bone marrow biopsy revealed sparse GMT with a decreased volume of BMAs. Additionally, an area devoid of hematopoietic cells, adipocytes, or GMT was observed. Nutritional therapy resulted in weight gain and improved pancytopenia. Upon discharge, the patient weighed 40.0 kg (BMI: 15.5 kg/m2) with a normal WBC count, hemoglobin levels, and platelet count. It is significant to study hematological and bone marrow changes because patients with AN often present with hematologic abnormalities. The identification of sparse GMT, which is associated with a decrease in BMA volume and the presence of an area devoid of hematopoietic cells, adipocytes, or GMTs, is a novel finding. The improvement in pancytopenia following nutritional therapy suggests a link between myeloid transformation and malnutrition. Consequently, in patients with pancytopenia associated with AN exhibiting these bone marrow findings, nutritional therapy is necessary.

Abstract
Recent studies have indicated potential links between short bouts of physical activity like stair-climbing and enhanced creative thinking. However, previous research featured limitations, such as using an uncommon 3 flights round-trip design and lacking baseline creative thinking evaluations. To rectify these limitations and build a more comprehensive understanding, the present study adopts a between-subjects pretest posttest comparison design to scrutinize the effects of ascending stair-climbing on both divergent and convergent thinking. 52 subjects underwent a pretest, followed by random assignment to one of four interventions: ascending stair-climbing for 2, 5, or 8 flights, or taking an elevator for 8 flights, before progressing to a posttest. The results revealed a notable improvement in convergent thinking, measured by the increased number of solved matchstick arithmetic problems (d = 1.165), for participants who climbed 2 flights of stairs compared to those who took the elevator. However, climbing 5 or 8 flights showed no such impact on convergent thinking, and stair-climbing, regardless of the number of flights, did not influence divergent thinking. These findings underscore the utility of brief stair-climbing as an accessible means to enhance convergent thinking in everyday settings, providing a nuanced insight into the relationship between physical activity and creative thinking processes.

Abstract
Recent studies show that even a brief bout of aerobic exercise may enhance creative thinking. However, few studies have investigated the effect of exercise conducted in natural settings. Here, in a crossover randomized controlled trial, we investigated the effect of a common daily activity, stair-climbing, on creative thinking. As experimental intervention, subjects were asked to walk downstairs from the fourth to the first floor and back at their usual pace. As control intervention, they walked the same path but using the elevator instead. Compared to using the elevator, stair-climbing enhanced subsequent divergent but not convergent thinking in that it increased originality on the Alternate Use Test (d = 0.486). Subjects on average generated 61% more original uses after stair-climbing. This is the first study to investigate the effect of stair-climbing on creative thinking. Our findings suggest that stair-climbing may be a useful strategy for enhancing divergent thinking in everyday life.

Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) is the most common cause of chronic pain. Numerous clinical scales are available for evaluating pain, but their objective criteria in the management of LBP patients remain unclear. This study aimed to determine an objective cutoff value for a change in the Pain Intensity Numerical Rating Scale (ΔPI-NRS) three months after LBP treatment. Its utility was compared with changes in six commonly used clinical scales in LBP patients: Pain Disability Assessment Scale (PDAS), Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEC), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), EuroQoL 5 Dimension (EQ5D), and Locomo 25. We included 161 LBP patients treated in two representative pain management centers. Patients were partitioned into two groups based on patient’s global impression of change (PGIC) three months after treatment: satisfied (PGIC = 1, 2) and unsatisfied (3–7). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to explore relevant scales in distinguishing the two groups. We found ΔPI-NRS to be most closely associated with PGIC status regardless of pre-treatment pain intensity, followed by ΔEQ5D, ΔPDAS, ΔPSEC, and ΔPCS. The ΔPI-NRS cutoff value for distinguishing the PGIC status was determined by ROC analysis to be 1.3–1.8 depending on pre-treatment PI-NRS, which was rounded up to ΔPI-NRS = 2 for general use. Spearman’s correlation coefficient revealed close relationships between ΔPI-NRS and the six other clinical scales. Therefore, we determined cutoff values of these scales in distinguishing the status of ΔPI-NRS≥2 vs. ΔPI-NRS<2 to be as follows: ΔPDAS, 6.71; ΔPSEC, 6.48; ΔPCS, 6.48; ΔAIS, 1.91; ΔEQ5D, 0.08; and ΔLocomo 25, 9.31. These can be used as definitive indicator of therapeutic outcome in the management of chronic LBP patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glycosylation is a common posttranslational modification in protein biosynthesis that is implicated in several disease states. It has been reported that specific protein glycan structures are useful as biomarkers for cancer and some neuropsychiatric diseases; however, the relationship between plasma protein glycosylation and major depressive disorder (MDD) has not been investigated to date. The aim of this study was to determine whether plasma protein glycan structures are altered in depression using a stress-based mouse model and samples from patients with MDD. METHODS We used chronic ultra-mildly stressed mice that were untreated or treated with imipramine as mouse models of depression and remission, respectively. We also made comparisons between samples from depressed and remitted patients with MDD. Protein glycosylation was analyzed using a lectin microarray that included 45 lectins with binding affinities for various glycan structures. RESULTS Sia-alpha2-6Gal/GalNAc was a commonly altered glycan structure in both depression model mice and patients with MDD. Moreover, the expression of ST6GALNAC2 was decreased in leukocytes from patients with MDD. LIMITATIONS Our study samples were small and we did not identify specific alpha2-6Gal/GalNAc-sialylated proteins. CONCLUSIONS The glycan structure Sia-alpha2-6GalNAc in plasma protein and ST6GALNAC2 expression in peripheral leukocytes may have utility as candidate biomarkers for the clinical diagnosis and monitoring of MDD.

Abstract
The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) has been repeatedly implicated as having a significant relationship with depression, along with its serotoninergic innervation. However, functional connectivity of the DRN in depression is not well understood. The current study aimed to isolate functional connectivity of the DRN distinct in later life depression (LLD) compared to a healthy age-matched population. Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) data from 95 participants (33 LLD and 62 healthy) were collected to examine functional connectivity from the DRN to the whole brain in voxel-wise fashion. The posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) bilaterally showed significantly smaller connectivity in the LLD group than the control group. The DRN to PCC connectivity did not show any association with the depressive status. The findings implicate that the LLD involves disruption of serotoninergic input to the PCC, which has been suggested to be a part of the reduced default mode network in depression.

Abstract
The heterogeneity of depression (due to factors such as varying age of onset) may explain why biological markers of major depressive disorder (MDD) remain uncertain. We aimed to identify gene expression markers of MDD in leukocytes using microarray analysis. We analyzed gene expression profiles of patients with MDD (age ≥50, age of depression onset <50) (N = 10, depressed state; N = 13, remitted state). Seven-hundred and ninety-seven genes (558 upregulated, 239 downregulated when compared to those of 30 healthy subjects) were identified as potential markers for MDD. These genes were then cross-matched to microarray data obtained from a mouse model of depression (676 genes, 148 upregulated, 528 downregulated). Of the six common genes identified between patients and mice, five genes (SLC35A3, HIST1H2AL, YEATS4, ERLIN2, and PLPP5) were confirmed to be downregulated in patients with MDD by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Of these genes, HIST1H2AL was significantly decreased in a second set of independent subjects (age ≥20, age of onset <50) (N = 18, subjects with MDD in a depressed state; N = 19, healthy control participants). Taken together, our findings suggest that HIST1H2AL may be a biological marker of MDD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression in old age is an increasing contributor to poor health and accompanying health care costs. Although there is an abundance of literature on later-life depression (LLD), the neural correlates have not been clarified. The aim of this study was to determine whether patients with LLD show abnormal gray matter volume (GMV) and white matter integrity by using multiple image analysis methods. METHODS The study included 45 patients with LLD and 61 healthy participants who were matched for age, sex, years of education, and vascular risk factors. GMV was examined using voxel-based morphometry, while the white matter integrity was determined by tract-based spatial statistics and tract-specific analysis, which were obtained from high-resolution magnetic resonance images. RESULTS Patients with LLD showed significantly less GMV in the orbitofrontal cortex, anterior cingulate, insula, amygdala, and temporal regions, as well as higher fractional anisotropy in the uncinate fasciculus, compared with healthy participants. Patients with LLD who had reduced orbitofrontal and insular GMV had more severe clinical variables. The reduced orbitofrontal GMV was associated with higher fractional anisotropy in the uncinate fasciculus. LIMITATION The effects of medication should also be considered when interpreting the results of this study. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that regional GMV is linked to white matter integrity of the uncinate fasciculus in the orbitomedial prefrontal limbic network, and the disruption of this network may be involved in the pathophysiology of LLD.

Abstract
We performed hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for 3 patients with delayed neuropsychiatric encephalopathy induced by carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. All patients were male and around 50 years old, and they had not received HBO therapy within 24 h after CO poisoning, even though they showed severe consciousness disturbance. In these patients, delayed neuropsychiatric encephalopathy appeared about 25 days after acute CO poisoning, and HBO therapy was initiated within 8 days after disease onset. Although the condition of 2 of the patients worsened initially, they showed significant improvement of neurocognitive impairment after 30 sessions of HBO therapy. The clinical courses of these patients suggest that the effect of HBO therapy can be evaluated after 30 sessions. To evaluate the validity of the indices of the clinical effect of HBO therapy, we performed brain magnetic resonance imaging, single photon emission computed tomography, electroencephalography (EEG), and neurocognitive tests (HDS-R, and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised or III). Our results showed that changes in EEG signals and neurocognitive tests were closely correlated with the patients' clinical courses.

Abstract
Recent studies suggest that the dysfunction of neural plasticity is associated with mood disorders. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which is a transcriptional activator of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), activates the cellular response to hypoxia. HIF-1 is ubiquitously expressed in all cells, including peripheral leukocytes. However, little is known about the role of HIF-1 in mood disorder. In the present study, we investigated the mRNA expression levels of HIF-1 (α and β) and its target genes (VEGF, GLUT1, PGK1, PFKFB3, and LDHA) in the peripheral white blood cells of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BPD). We found increased expression of HIF- 1α and HIF-1β mRNA, as well as the target genes, VEGF, and PFKFB3 in both MDD and BPD patients in a depressive state compared to healthy control subjects. Furthermore, the mRNA expression levels of GLUT1, PGK1, and LDHA were increased in MDD patients in a depressive state compared to healthy control subjects. We also found increased expression of HIF-1α and LDHA mRNA in MDD patients in a remissive state, whereas the mRNA expression levels of other genes in a remissive state were comparable to those in healthy control subjects. There was no significant difference in mRNA expression levels of the genes examined among patients receiving any type of antidepressant or mood stabilizer. Our data suggest that altered expression of HIF-1 and its target genes mRNA in peripheral blood cells are associated-mainly in a state-dependent manner-with mood disorders (especially with MDD). In addition, altered expression of HIF-1 and its target genes may be associated with the pathophysiology of depression.

Abstract
Objectives The main histological change in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the villous proliferation of synovial lining cells, an important source of cytokines and chemokines, which are associated with inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate gene expression in the microdissected synovial lining cells of RA patients, using those of osteoarthritis (OA) patients as the control. Methods Samples were obtained during total joint replacement from 11 RA and five OA patients. Total RNA from the synovial lining cells was derived from selected specimens by laser microdissection (LMD) for subsequent cDNA microarray analysis. In addition, the expression of significant genes was confirmed immunohistochemically. Results The 14 519 genes detected by cDNA microarray were used to compare gene expression levels in synovial lining cells from RA with those from OA patients. Cluster analysis indicated that RA cells, including low- and high-expression subgroups, and OA cells were stored in two main clusters. The molecular activity of RA was statistically consistent with its clinical and histological activity. Expression levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), interferon regulatory factor 1 (IRF1), and the chemokines CXCL9, CXCL10, and CCL5 were statistically significantly higher in the synovium of RA than in that of OA. Immunohistochemically, the lining synovium of RA, but not that of OA, clearly expressed STAT1, IRF1, and chemokines, as was seen in microarray analysis combined with LMD. Conclusions Our findings indicate an important role for lining synovial cells in the inflammatory and proliferative processes of RA. Further understanding of the local signalling in structural components is important in rheumatology.

Abstract
In order to identify the possible biomarkers of mood disorders, we measured the mRNA levels for a variety of genes in peripheral leukocytes of mood disorder patients in a depressive, as well as in a remissive state, comparing with healthy controls. We selected and measured the levels of genes of interest, which are listed as follows: glucocorticoid receptor, neurotrophic factors, cell adhesion molecules, SR protein splicing factors, transcription factors, epigenetic factors (histone deacetylase, sirtuin, DNA methyltransferase), since these molecules are suggested to be associated with the neural function, synaptic plasticity, and behaviors in animal models, as well as with the pathophysiology and pathogenesis of mood disorders. We found the three different types of biological markers: 1) state markers those revealed alterations of gene expression only in a depressive state of major depressive patients and/or bipolar depressive patients, 2) trait markers those showed altered gene expression both in a depressive and a remissive state of major depressive patients and/or bipolar depressive patients, and 3) markers of the treatment resistance those revealed different alterations of gene expression between treatment resistant and treatment responsive patients in a depressive state. The use of state and trait markers in combination would allow us to put a differential diagnosis between major depressive and bipolar depressive states, as well as between mood disorders and neurotic depressive states. Furthermore, candidate biomarkers of treatment resistance could be used to consider forward of applying the electric convulsive therapy even in an early stage of a depressive state.

Abstract
Aberrant transcriptional regulation may be one of the key components of the pathophysiology of mood disorders. DNA methylation generally acts as an epigenetic gene silencing mechanism and is catalyzed by a group of enzymes known as DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). Several lines of evidence have suggested aberrant DNA methylation in patients with neuropsychiatric disorders and in animal models for psychiatric disorders. However, the involvement of DNMTs in the pathophysiology of mood disorders is not completely understood. In this study, we aimed to determine whether there are alterations in the expression of DNMTs mRNA in mood disorder patients. We used quantitative real-time PCR to measure the mRNA expression of four DNMT isoforms in the peripheral white blood cells of major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder (BPD) patients during a depressive and a remissive episode. We found that the levels of DNMT1 mRNA were significantly decreased in a depressive but not in a remissive state of MDD and BPD. In addition, the levels of DNMT3B mRNA in MDD were significantly increased in a depressive but not in a remissive state. Thus, our data suggest that the altered expression of DNMTs is state dependent and that the aberrant epigenetic gene regulations caused by the altered expression of DNMT1 and DNMT3B may be associated with the pathophysiology of mood disorders.

Abstract
Sirtuins are a family of NAD+-dependent enzymes that regulate cellular functions through deacetylation of various proteins. Although recent reports have suggested an important role of deacetylases (i.e., histone deacetylases) in mood disorders and antidepressant action, the involvement of sirtuins in the pathophysiology of mood disorders is largely unknown. In this study, we aimed to determine whether there are alterations in sirtuin mRNA expression in peripheral white blood cells of patients with a mood disorder. Also, to examine whether the altered sirtuin mRNA expression is state- or trait-dependent, mood disorder patients who were in a remissive state were assessed. We used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction to measure the mRNA levels of seven sirtuin isoforms (SIRT1-7) in peripheral white blood cells of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) or bipolar disorder (BPD) during depressive and remissive states and in normal healthy subjects. The SIRT1, 2 and 6 mRNA levels in MDD and BPD patients decreased significantly in those who were in a depressive state compared to healthy controls, whereas the expression of those mRNAs in both MDD and BPD of patients in a remissive state were comparable to those in healthy controls. Thus, our data suggest that altered SIRT1, 2 and 6 expression is state-dependent and might be associated with the pathogenesis and/or pathophysiology of mood disorders.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine interleukin-6 production and the activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3) in ruptured rotator cuff tendon. Specimens of ruptured rotator cuff tendons were analysed using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting and immunohistochemistry. Specimens of co-existing inflammatory subacromial synovia were examined for comparison. The level of interleukin-6 messenger RNA was increased in ruptured rotator cuff tendon as well as in subacromial synovium. Western blot analysis showed constitutive production of activated, phosphorylated STAT3 in ruptured rotator cuff tendon and co-existing subacromial synovium. Immunohistochemical examination detected cells producing interleukin-6, interleukin-6 receptor and phosphorylated STAT3 in ruptured rotator cuff tendon, mainly in proliferative vessels and, to a lesser extent, in tendon fibroblasts around the vessels. This study demonstrates that activation of STAT3 induced by interleukin-6 is promoted mainly by proliferative vessels in ruptured rotator cuff tendon.

Abstract
Clinical and radiographic results of trochanteric osteotomy after revision hip arthroplasty in 62 hips were reviewed. The osteotomized fragment had been reattached using the Dall-Miles cable grip system in each hip. The patients' average age at operation was 64.4 years (range, 40-86 years). The average duration of follow-up was 30.0 months (range. 12-60 months). Trochanteric nonunion was found in 19 hips (30.6%). Trochanteric nonunion developed in 14 (38.9%) of 36 hips with each cable attached around the medial cortex bone, in 2 (16.7%) of 12 hips with each cable passed in a drill hole, and in 3 (21.4%) of 14 hips with one cable passed through a hole and the other attached around the medial cortex. Fragmentation developed in 18 hips (29.0%). In 3 of these 18, the fragments had migrated close to the acetabular component. Cable breakage was seen in 4 hips (6.5%), and bone absorption around the cable in the medial cortex was seen in 17 hips (27.4%). There were 16 hips (25.8%) that presented symptoms at the greater trochanter, including spontaneous pain and tenderness. When the Dall Miles cable grip device is used for reattachment of the greater trochanter, attention should be paid to the condition of the trochanteric bed, the tension of the abductor muscles, and to the placement of the cables and the H-shaped grip.

Abstract
Although hip fracture is one of the most common causes of acute immobilization in elderly patients, little is known about the influence of immobilization on changes in bone and calcium metabolism following this event. We therefore compared serum biochemical indices of bone and calcium metabolism in 20 elderly subjects with hip fracture with those measured in 20 healthy age-matched controls. Rankin scores, a measure of functional dependence with 0 representing independence and 5 representing total dependence, were assigned. We also examined serial changes in these biochemical indices from shortly following the fracture to the early recovery period. Ionized calcium, intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), intact bone Gla protein (BGP), pyridinoline cross-linked carboxyterminal telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP), 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25-[OH]2D) were measured. One week after the fracture, mean serum concentrations of calcium and ICTP were elevated in correspondence to degree of immobilization (mean Rankin score; 4.4), while serum concentrations of BGP, PTH, 25-OHD, and 1,25-[OH]2D were depressed. Rankin score (mean: 4.4) correlated positively with ICTP and negatively with BGP at this time. At 2 months, calcium and ICTP elevation decreased and BGP, PTH and 1,25-[OH]2D were less depressed, coinciding with a decline in Rankin score from 4.2 to 2.2. Indices were further improved at 3 months (mean Rankin score, 1.3), with calcium and BGP returning to normal. We concluded that increased bone resorption, and decreased bone formation, and hypercalcemia are present by 1 week following the hip fracture, and some resorption increase persists for at least 3 months. These changes could explain in part the high risk of another hip fracture.

Abstract
Finite element analysis was performed using 3-dimensional models to examine the biomechanical characteristics of the femoral component in resurfacing hip arthroplasty. Stress concentration was observed in the cortical bone adjacent to the rim of the prosthesis. Stress shielding was observed in the anterosuperior regions on the cancellous bone cross-sections near the cup rim. These biomechanical characteristics may lead to complications such as femoral neck fractures in patients with osteopenic bone and long-term loosening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A joint-preserving operation was performed on 15 hips with osteoarthrosis, involving 12 patients who had adult cerebral palsy. METHODS Eleven hips underwent Chiari pelvic osteotomy only; three hips underwent Chiari pelvic osteotomy with femoral osteotomy and the other one hip underwent femoral varus osteotomy only. The mean follow-up period after surgery was 6 years and 2 months (with follow-up range of 2 years and 3 months to 10 years and 6 months). RESULTS Good results were achieved in 13 of the 15 hips (86.6%). Two patients with athetotic tetraplegia treated with Chiari pelvic osteotomy had pelvic obliquity. Progressive osteoarthrotic change continued in bilateral hips in one case treated with Chiari pelvic osteotomy. CONCLUSION We confirm that usual treatment for osteoarthrosis of the hip was also applicable for osteoarthrosis of the hip in cases of adult cerebral palsy, provided sufficient attention is given to the complications accompanying spastic paralysis.

Abstract
A new brace, the hip joint moment reduction brace, has been designed and constructed. The basic construct of the brace incorporates only the thigh, and it minimally restricts one's activities of daily living. The concept of the brace is to reduce the frontal plane moment of the applied force against which the abductor muscle must contract to balance, and this reduction of the frontal plane moment results in reduction of the abductor muscle force. The brace uses the mechanism of the ischial weightbearing and lessens the abductor moment by transmitting load from the ischium through the condyle of the femur. In gait testing, the maximum ischial load taken up by the brace was 36.9% of the ground reaction force in the late stance phase, and the integrated electromyogram of the abductor muscle was reduced by 32.6% during the whole stance phase using this brace. These findings confirmed a reduction in the frontal plane moment of the hip joint and the potential for reduction in the load on the hip joint. The hip joint moment reduction brace is recommended as effective conservative management of hip disorders, such as coxarthrosis, that are caused or worsened by biomechanical insufficiency.

Abstract
Between 1983 and 1995, a modified Chiari pelvic osteotomy was performed for coxarthrosis after Perthes' disease in 13 patients (14 hips). The median age at operation was 33 (16-56) years. The median duration of follow-up was 6 (2-12) years. The center-edge angle, Sharp's angle, acetabulum head index and acetabular edge angle improved substantially. The median hip score substantially improved from 76 (46-90) points to 91 (71-100) points at the most recent follow-up examination. We recommend this procedure for patients who have early arthrosis, acetabular dysplasia, pain and good range of motion.

Abstract
The hip abductor muscles are considered important for gait and biomechanics of the hip joint; however, their specific function has not been defined precisely. The intensity of magnetic resonance imaging signals in skeletal muscle has been reported to increase immediately after exercise. Making use of this phenomenon, we evaluated the hip abductor muscles. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed after isometric exercise of the hip abductor in three positions (20 degrees of abduction, neutral, and 20 degrees of adduction). The abduction force of the hip was measured with a dynamometer, and electromyographic measurements were made simultaneously for the same hip positions. Additionally, magnetic resonance imaging was performed after one-legged stance. As the hip was more adducted, the signal intensity increased on the scans. The values for muscle force, as evaluated with the dynamometer and integrated electromyography, also supported the results. The increase in signal intensity of the gluteus minimus at 20 degrees of abduction and after one-legged stance was significantly greater than that of the gluteus medius (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.0001, respectively). The results of this study indicate that the gluteus minimus muscle, along with the gluteus medius, plays an important role in hip abduction, gait, and stabilization of the pelvis.

Abstract
A total of 38 cemented metal-on-metal CoCrMo McKee-Farrar total hip arthroplasties (THAs) were clinically and radiographically evaluated over a long-term follow-up. No osteolysis and no granuloma were found more than 20 years after the operation. The main radiological findings were bone erosion and migration of the acetabular component, seen in 17 hips (44.7%). The direction of the migration correlated with the setting position of the acetabular component at operation. At revision surgery, metallosis was observed in unstable THA, and no metallosis was observed in stable THA. Using a micrometer, no wear of the sockets was found. Therefore, the loosening was thought to be due to the equatorial bearing rather than to metallosis. The mean survival of the THA to data was 14.6 years in those patients 60 years old or younger at operation and was significantly less (11.9 years) in those 61 years old or older at operation (P < 0.03). The mean survival time was 13.8 years.

Abstract
We have applied the Dall-Miles cable grip system for fixation in 15 cases of a transtrochanteric valgus osteotomy for osteoarthritis. After three phases of modification, we could achieve stable fixation for the three fragments of the greater trochanter, proximal and distal femur using only one set of this system and could prevent migration and over-traction of the abductor muscles by this way.

Abstract
A cooperative hospital-based case-control study of idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head (IANF) was carried out to clarify the involvement of smoking, drinking, flushing pattern, and other factors in the development of IANF comparing 90 cases (64 males and 26 females) without history of systemic corticosteroid use with 180 matched controls (128 males and 52 females). The results of analyses were represented only for male subjects because of small number of female cases. There was no significant difference in smoking habits, daily and cumulative number of cigarettes smoked between case and control groups. Current drinkers had obviously higher risk (OR = 11.47) of IANF compared to nondrinkers or exdrinkers. In addition, there was a consistent risk increase with increasing alcohol consumption and the highly significant dose-response relationship remained unchanged after adjustment for all other factors (chi 2 = 14.33, p < 0.001 and chi 2 = 13.24, p < 0.001 for daily and cumulative alcohol consumption, respectively). For flushing pattern, although nonflushers had a significantly elevated risk (OR = 2.08) in the univariate analysis, the association disappeared (OR = 0.73) after adjustment for alcohol and other factors. Since nonflushers tend to be heavy drinkers, perhaps, an apparent risk increase among nonflushers may be due to alcohol drinking. Body mass index (BMI) was inversely related to the development of IANF. The risk reduction was found among subjects with higher BMI and an adjusted linear trend of OR was significant (chi 2 = 6.65, p < 0.05). However, further studies were required regarding the association between flushing pattern or BMI and IANF because of a few reports. History of liver diseases and occupational history were not significantly associated with the development of IANF after adjustment for other factors.

Abstract
The authors have experienced a fracture in the ceramic head in a total hip arthroplasty in three cases. Two of these were comminuted and the other was a hair-line fissure. A foreign body, perhaps from the operation, existed between the neck of the stem and the head in two cases (one in a comminuted fracture and the other in the fissure fracture). The other case had no foreign body, and, judging from the serial radiographs, the fracture was probably caused by weight-bearing stress. Care must be taken during operation to avoid interposing any foreign body in the modular ceramic head total hip arthroplasty, and the weight-bearing stress factor must be considered as an indication for a ceramic head fracture in young active patients.

Abstract
We investigated the in vitro drug release from mixed polymer films using lidocaine (LC), which is poorly water-soluble. The mixed polymer films consisted of various ratios of hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate (HPMCP). The effects of the presence glycyrrhizic acid (GL) or polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the films upon LC release were also studied. LC crystallinity decreased in the polymer film and this decrease was remarkable in the presence of GL, resulting in an amorphous state. During the initial stage, drug release was regarded as a zero-order dissolution. The apparent release rate constant, ka, varied with the ratios of the two polymers and the amount of additives as well as with the pH of the test solution. The results indicated that GL enhanced the dissolution rate of LC from mixed polymer films, which may be due to the formation of an amorphous state. On the other hand, since PEG is a surfactant, the enhanced wettability of the polymer by the buffered solutions may have caused the increased dissolution rate.

Abstract
Idiopathic chondrolysis of the hip is characterized by pain, limping and a progressive restriction in the range of motion of the hip. The paper describes the case of two female patients, age 28 and 37, who were referred to our hospital in October 1985 and May 1991 for pain and limitation of movement in the right hip. Neither patient had a previous history of systemic illness or trauma or medication such as steroids. On admission they underwent clinical and X-ray examinations. Both required an open biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. They have been followed for 4 years and 8 years, respectively.

Abstract
Beta 2-glycoprotein I (beta 2-GPI) binds negatively charged substances and inhibits intrinsic blood coagulation in the presence of ellagic acid-phospholipid suspension. Beta 2-GPI is thought to be an important protein in the reaction between negatively charged phospholipids and anti-phospholipid antibodies which appear in patients with lupus anticoagulant/antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. We prepared a monoclonal antibody against beta 2-GPI purified from human plasma and obtained beta 2-GPI-depleted plasma using a monoclonal antibody-coupled column. Either partial thromboplastin time or the activation of prekallikrein induced by diluted ellagic acid-phospholipid suspension in beta 2-GPI-depleted plasma was not different from that in control plasma. Beta 2-GPI inhibited the intrinsic blood coagulation only when added to control or beta 2-GPI-depleted plasma in excess (more than physiological concentrations). The intrinsic fibrinolysis in beta 2-GPI-depleted plasma induced by dextran sulfate was not impaired and, again, beta 2-GPI inhibited the intrinsic fibrinolysis only when added to control or beta 2-GPI-depleted plasma in excess. These results indicate that both in vitro Actin-induced intrinsic coagulation and dextran sulfate-induced fibrinolytic activities are significantly inhibited by more than physiological concentrations of beta 2-GPI.

Abstract
We have investigated the changes in the interposed capsule after a Chiari pelvic osteotomy, in an experimental study on dysplastic hips in 20 adolescent rabbits. Radiographic, macroscopic and microscopic observations were made up to 12 months after operation. The new acetabular roof had incorporated the interposed capsule and remodelled completely by six months. By 12 months there was a new, stable hip with continuity between the capsule and the original acetabular cartilage. Histologically, the capsule underwent metaplastic change to fibrocartilaginous tissue after six months, with some hyaline-like cartilage near the joint surface. These changes in the interposed capsule play an important role in the formation of a new joint after a Chiari pelvic osteotomy.

Abstract
Transformed Fisher rat fibroblast cell lines by Abelson murine leukemia virus frequently revert to the normal phenotype in usual culture conditions. Molecular biological analysis of three revertant clones isolated from the transformants showed that their morphological reversions were due to inactivation of the v-abl oncogene at multiple steps including transcription, translation or v-abl protein kinase activity itself without any change in structural gene expression of helper virus. These findings suggest the existence of a specific mechanism(s) for elimination of the v-abl oncogene by segregation, mutation, or gene rearrangement in these cells.

Abstract
The measurement of HIV antigen levels in sera or plasma of HIV-infected individuals is critical for determining the existence of antigen or infectious virus before seroconversion and for prognosis. Pretreatment of sera or plasma of HIV carriers by heating at 70 degrees C for 10 min at an acidic pH enabled us to estimate antigens efficiently in immune complexes. This procedure will also be useful in determining antigen levels in HIV carriers more precisely.

Abstract
A clinical and epidemiological study on congenital dislocation of the hip (CDH) was attempted with a genetic analysis of this condition, and the following results were obtained. The frequency of CDH in the general population is 0.08% in males and 0.59% in females, the latter being clearly higher. In examining the changes in the frequency of CDH over the years using the data reported in the literature, a statistically significant tendency for the frequency to decrease in more recent years was noted. It was confirmed by the recurrence rate of the subsequent sibling and twin data that CDH is a multifactorial disease, and, in estimating its heritability, in males h2 = 0.94-1.01 and in females h2 = 1.38, which are markedly high estimates exceeding the limit of 1. This is perhaps attributable to the small number of patients in this series and to the differences in the characteristics between the data on the frequency of CDH in the general population and those of the present pedigree study. When the corrected value of the frequency in the general population was used in estimating the heritability, in males h2 = 0.54 approximately 0.74 and in females h2 = 0.68, which are almost identical to the American data.

Abstract
Among 13,779 infants examined from 1974 to 1980 at Takashimadaira and Toride health centers, there were 45 patients with congenital hip dislocation, an incidence of 3.3 per 1,000 live births, that is, 0.08% and 0.53% respectively in male and female. The male to female ratio was 1: 7.4. Its incidence seems to be decreasing year by year with statistic significance, compared with the data previously reported. A family study was conducted based upon 117 patients with this disease diagnosed at the Tokyo Medical and Dental University from 1971 to 1980. Applying the recurrence rate of siblings and the incidence in the general population to the model proposed by Falconer, the heritability of liability to congenital hip dislocation in Japan is estimated to be 80 +/- 20% in males and 135 +/- 10% in females, which is beyond limitation of the heritability and much higher than Woolf's estimation (82% in male and 58% in female). This might be due to the insufficient size of the test population, but the genetic factors are presumed to play a more important role on the etiology of this abnormality.

Abstract
The orthopaedic surgeon should be familiar with various supports and braces for the treatment of low back pain. Severe cases of spinal instability always need a Hohmann overbridging brace, whereas the milder form of motion-segment instability is treated with one of the elastic supports. In cases of osteoporosis of the spine and insufficiency of the lumbosacral junction the Lindemann 2/3 semi-elastic brace is prescribed.
