Multidirectional Traction Method Using SURGICEL NU-KNIT and Surgical Suture in Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Surgery for Endometrial Cancer. J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2024; 31:12-13. [PMID: 37875212 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmig.2023.10.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe a novel approach to robot-assisted laparoscopic total hysterectomy (RH) for endometrial cancer that minimizes cancer sell spillage and develops a stable surgical field. DESIGN Demonstration of the multidirectional traction method with narrated video footage. SETTING Many reports have indicated that RH for endometrial cancer has the same or superior short-term results compared with conventional laparoscopic hysterectomy (LH), and the long-term prognosis is the same [1,2]. However, there are no randomized controlled trials of RH versus LH, and some previous reports [3] have suggested that RH has a worse prognosis than LH, so the long-term prognosis should be considered with caution. Factors that may affect the long-term prognosis include the use of uterine manipulators [4] and compression of the uterine body with robotic forceps without tactile sensation [3]. However, to the best of our knowledge, no surgical technique capable of avoiding these factors has been established yet. Herein, we report a multidirectional traction method using SURGICEL NU-KNIT (Ethicon; Johnson & Johnson Medical Ltd., Tokyo, Japan), a local hemostatic agent, and surgical sutures. INTERVENTION Cut 2-0 Prolene (Ethicon; Johnson & Johnson Medical Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) with straight needles (ST-70) thread to 35 cm, stick a 1 × 2 cm piece of SURGICEL NU-KNIT, and make knots Fig. 1. This implement is used to puncture the incisional margins of the peritoneum and then the abdominal wall to bring the thread to the surface of the body, where it is grasped with forceps and fixed. By repeating this operation, multidirectional traction can be obtained Fig. 2. A manipulating suture is also attached to the uterus to minimize the compression of the uterine body with robotic forceps. CONCLUSION The multidirectional traction method allows for reproducible stable surgical field development and minimizes cancer cell spillage by reducing uterine grasping by robotic forceps without the use of uterine manipulators.

The Histone Methyltransferase SETD8 Regulates the Expression of Tumor Suppressor Genes via H4K20 Methylation and the p53 Signaling Pathway in Endometrial Cancer Cells. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:5367. [PMID: 36358786 PMCID: PMC9655767 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14215367] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2022] [Revised: 10/20/2022] [Accepted: 10/21/2022] [Indexed: 08/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The histone methyltransferase SET domain-containing protein 8 (SETD8), which methylates histone H4 lysine 20 (H4K20) and non-histone proteins such as p53, plays key roles in human carcinogenesis. Our aim was to determine the involvement of SETD8 in endometrial cancer and its therapeutic potential and identify the downstream genes regulated by SETD8 via H4K20 methylation and the p53 signaling pathway. We examined the expression profile of SETD8 and evaluated whether SETD8 plays a critical role in the proliferation of endometrial cancer cells using small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). We identified the prognostically important genes regulated by SETD8 via H4K20 methylation and p53 signaling using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing, RNA sequencing, and machine learning. We confirmed that SETD8 expression was elevated in endometrial cancer tissues. Our in vitro results suggest that the suppression of SETD8 using siRNA or a selective inhibitor attenuated cell proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of endometrial cancer cells. In these cells, SETD8 regulates genes via H4K20 methylation and the p53 signaling pathway. We also identified the prognostically important genes related to apoptosis, such as those encoding KIAA1324 and TP73, in endometrial cancer. SETD8 is an important gene for carcinogenesis and progression of endometrial cancer via H4K20 methylation.

Abstract
BackgroundAchievement of normal physical function is an important outcome for older patients. Previous studies of younger cohorts showed that aging, comorbidities, and joint damage influenced the physical function of patients with RA who achieved clinical remission or low disease activity (LDA). We previously demonstrated that a treat-to-target (T2T) strategy for methotrexate (MTX)-naïve elderly-onset RA (EORA) was effective with an acceptable safety profile. It showed that 60.9% of 197 patients achieved HAQ Disability Index (HAQ-DI) ≤0.5 at three years by following the T2T strategy targeting LDA (1).ObjectivesWe aimed to evaluate associated factors with HAQ-DI in the T2T strategy targeting LDA for patients with EORA during three-year observational period.MethodsTreatment was adjusted to target LDA with conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), followed by biological DMARDs (bDMARDs) in 197 MTX-naïve EORA patients (mean age 74.9 years) with moderate-to-high disease activity. HAQ-DI was evaluated at week 0, 24, 52, 76, 104, 128, and 156. To evaluate associated factors with SDAI and HAQ-DI over the 36-month follow-up, Bayesian hierarchical logistic regression modeling was applied for 1067 periods from the 197 patients.ResultsAt baseline, the enrolled 197 patients with EORA who had normal physical function (HAQ-DI ≤0.5) in 29.4%, HAQ-DI >0.5 and <1.5 in 36.5%, and HAQ-DI ≥1.5 in 33.0%, and the mean age (standard deviation [SD]) in each group was 72.7 (5.9), 74.8 (7.3), and 75.6 (6.7), respectively. Baseline SDAI increased in the group with higher HAQ-DI. The proportions of patients with each comorbidity and estimated creatinine clearance at baseline were not significantly different across the 3 groups.In the multilevel logistic model, the association of MTX, bDMARDs, and GC use with changes in SDAI in each period was evaluated. Age, sex, and comorbidities (chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disease, history of malignancy, osteoporosis, history of serious infections, and osteoarthritis) were included as inter-individual factors. The model indicated that the use of bDMARDs was associated with a reduction of the SDAI (ΔSDAI: -9.75, SD 0.75, p<0.001), while neither MTX (ΔSDAI: -1.25, SD 1.13, p=0.270) nor GCs (ΔSDAI: -0.78, SD 0.88, p=0.372) was associated with changes in SDAI. Chronic lung diseases (ΔSDAI: 4.64, SD 1.44, p=0.001) and osteoporosis (ΔSDAI: 3.78, SD 1.46, p=0.001) at baseline were associated with the increment of SDAI.The association of age, sex, the comorbidities, and MTX, bDMARDs, and GC use with physical function in each period was evaluated by the multilevel logistic model. The model indicated that older age (ΔHAQ-DI: 0.03, SD 0.01, p <0.001), chronic lung diseases (ΔHAQ-DI: 0.15, SD 0.10, p=0.001), and osteoporosis (ΔHAQ-DI: 0.30, SD 0.10, p=0.010) at baseline were associated with the increment of HAQ-DI. When the mean SDAI during the observation period was added to the model as an inter-individual factor, the associations of HAQ-DI with the chronic lung diseases and osteoporosis at baseline were not statistically significant.ConclusionThese data indicate that bDMARDs had a central role in reducing disease activity in the T2T strategy targeting LDA in EORA patients. Chronic lung diseases and osteoporosis at baseline were associated with increase in disease activity and worsening of physical function. However, disease activity had a greater impact on physical function than the comorbidities at baseline.References[1]Sugihara T, et al.

Combined use of baking soda and electric toothbrushing for removal of artificial extrinsic stain on enamel surface: An in vitro study. J Clin Exp Dent 2022; 14:e9-e15. [PMID: 35070119 PMCID: PMC8760959 DOI: 10.4317/jced.58708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/12/2021] [Accepted: 08/24/2021] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate the combined effect of baking soda and electric toothbrushing on the removal of artificial extrinsic stain in vitro.
Material and Methods Flat enamel surfaces of 15 bovine incisors were artificially stained with 10% citric acid / 3% ferric chloride solution followed by 1% tannic acid solution. These specimens were randomly divided into three groups (n = 5) – Group S+B: brushing with an electric toothbrush and baking soda, Group S+C: brushing with an electric toothbrush and fluoride dentifrice, Group S: brushing only with an electric toothbrush. Color values (L*, a*, and b*) and surface roughness were measured before and after brushing (after 1, 2, 3, and 5 min). The data were statistically analyzed using two-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s honest significant difference test as a post hoc test (p< 0.05).
Results The L* value of Group S+B increased over time, and was significantly different between before brushing and at 5 min (p< 0.05). A significant difference in the ΔE* value of Group S+B was found at 5 min (p< 0.05). However, no significant difference was found in the ΔE* values of Group S+C and Group S. No significant differences in Ra were found in any of the groups.
Conclusions The results of this study suggest that the combined use of baking soda and electric toothbrushing has an excellent stain-removing effect compared with electric toothbrushing with a fluoride dentifrice. Additionally, the changes in surface roughness were similar to the changes caused by the use of general dentifrices. Key words:Baking soda, dentifrice, extrinsic stain removal, color change, surface roughness.

The histone methyltransferase SMYD2 is a novel therapeutic target for the induction of apoptosis in ovarian clear cell carcinoma cells. Oncol Lett 2020; 20:153.

Abstract
Previous studies have suggested that histone methylation can modulate carcinogenesis and cancer progression. For instance, the histone methyltransferase SET and MYND domain containing 2 (SMYD2) is overexpressed in several types of cancer tissue. The aim of the present study was to determine whether SMYD2 could serve a therapeutic role in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was used to examine SMYD2 expression in 23 clinical OCCC specimens. Moreover, OCCC cell proliferation and cell cycle progression were also examined following small interfering RNA-mediated SMYD2 silencing or treatment with a selective SMYD2 inhibitor. SMYD2 was significantly upregulated in clinical OCCC specimens, compared with normal ovarian tissue. In addition, SMYD2 knockdown decreased cell viability as determined via a Cell Counting Kit-8 assay. Moreover, the proportion of cells in the sub-G1 phase increased following SMYD2 knockdown, suggesting increased apoptosis. Treatment with the SMYD2 inhibitor LLY-507 suppressed OCCC cell viability. These results suggested that SMYD2 could promote OCCC viability, and that SMYD2 inhibition induced apoptosis in these cells. Thus, SMYD2 inhibitors may represent a promising molecular targeted approach for OCCC treatment.

Abstract
Advanced clear cell carcinomas originating from both ovaries and kidneys with cancerous peritonitis have poor prognoses. Murine double-minute 2 (MDM2) is a potential therapeutic target for clear cell ovarian carcinomas with WT TP53. Herein, we characterized the antiangiogenic and antitumor effects of the MDM2 inhibitors DS-3032b and DS-5272 in 6 clear cell ovarian carcinoma cell lines and 2 clear cell renal carcinoma cell lines, as well as in clear cell ovarian carcinomas s.c. xenograft and ID8 (murine ovarian cancer cells with WT TP53) cancer peritonitis mouse models. In clear cell ovarian carcinoma s.c. xenograft mouse models, DS-3032b significantly reduced WT TP53 clear cell ovarian carcinoma- and clear cell renal carcinoma-derived tumor volumes. In ID8 mouse models, DS-5272 significantly inhibited ascites production, reduced body weight, and significantly improved overall survival. Additionally, DS-5272 reduced the tumor burden of peritoneal dissemination and decreased CD31+ cells in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, DS-5272 significantly decreased vascular endothelial growth factor concentrations in both sera and ascites. Combined therapy with MDM2 inhibitors and everolimus showed synergistic, and dose-reduction potential, for clear cell carcinoma treatment. Our findings suggest that MDM2 inhibitors represent promising molecular targeted therapy for clear cell carcinomas, thereby warranting further studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dual MDM2/mTOR inhibitors in clear cell carcinoma patients.

Abstract
Background:Total management including reconstructive joint surgery and rehabilitation should be needed for further improvements of physical function for long-standing RA patients. In these days, it is very important to evaluate the effectiveness of joint surgery as well as drug therapy based on patient-reported outcome (PRO)Objectives:The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship among depression, clinical variables and other PROs including physical function and to explore whether joint surgery can improve the depression.Methods:Multicenter prospective observational cohort study was conducted among patients who underwent elective joint surgery for RA from April 2012 to March 2016 (Study registration: UMIN000012649). In this study, we collected data at baseline and at 6 or 12 months after the surgery. These data were as follow; age, sex, disease duration, drug therapies, and disease activity (DAS), TUG, and patient-reported outcome [HAQ-DI, EQ-5D (QOL), pain and BDI-II (depression)]. Correlation between BDI-II and other variables were determined using multiple liner regression analysis.Results:Totally, 346 patients before elective joint surgery were analyzed cross-sectionally. Mean age, disease duration, pain VAS, DAS28, HAQ-DI, EQ-5D and BDI-II were 64.2 years, 17.0 years, 36.2 mm, 3.02, 1.11, 0.641 and 13.0, respectively. 52.6% of elective joint surgeries were in upper limbs and 47.4% were in lower limbs. Multiple liner regression analysis showed that HAQ-DI [B:-0.099 (95%CI:-0.117- -0.08) β:-0.48] pain VAS [B:-0.002 (95%CI:-0.002- -0.001) β:-0.26] and BDI-II [B:-0.003 (95%CI:-0.005- -0.002) β:-0.19] had significant impact on EQ-5D. Furthermore, HAQ-DI [B:3.78 (95%CI:2.54- 5.06) β: 0.33] and pain VAS [B: 0.062 (95%CI: 0.023- 0.101) β 0.17] had significant impact on BDI-II. Especially, walking and eating were independent factors for BDI-II in HAQ-DI categories. These results were confirmed in longitudinal analyses using results from joint surgery in lower limbs (LL; n=138) and upper limbs (UL; n=165), respectively. BDI-II was remarkably improved from 12.1 (mean) to 10.5 in LL and from 14.2 (mean) to 11.9 in UL. Change in HAQ-DI had significant impact on that in BDI-II [LL; B:3.183 (95%CI:0.301- 6.065) β:0.229, and UL; B:2.55 (95%CI:0.19- 4.92) β:0.19] while that in painVAS did not. Especially, the improving in walking category by LL [B:1.38 (95%CI:0.06- 2.70) β:0.18] and in hygiene category by UL [B:2.11 (95%CI:0.79- 3.42) β:0.24] were relevant factors for improving of BDI-II.Conclusion:Depression is an important patient-reported outcome for QOL in established RA patients. Improving of physical function with joint surgery in both lower and upper limbs caused improving of depression status. Rheumatologists should take the joint surgery into consideration as effective intervention for treatment of established RA patients with treatment.Acknowledgments:This study was funded by a grant from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Walfare (h2424YN002-00) to Naoki Ishiguro.We thank Drs Tanaka S, Haga N, Yukioka M, Hashimoto J, Miyahara H, Niki Y, Kimura T, Oda H, Funahashi K for their contribution to this study and all medical staff members of each institute for their data collection efforts for their data collection efforts.Disclosure of Interests:Toshihisa Kojima Grant/research support from: Chugai, Eli Lilly, Astellas, Abbvie, and Novartis, Consultant of: AbbVie, Speakers bureau: AbbVie, Astellas, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Chugai, Daiichi-Sankyo, Eli Lilly, Janssen, Mitsubishi Tanabe, Pfizer, and Takeda, Masayo Kojima: None declared, Hajime Ishikawa: None declared, Keiichiro Nishida Grant/research support from: K.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with intellectual disabilities (IDs) have a severe delay in syntactic development compared with other language abilities. This study investigated conditions of syntactic development in native Japanese-speaking children with ID. METHODS Children with ID [N = 51; 18 autism spectrum disorders (ASD), 18 Down syndrome (DS) and 15 ID without ASD and DS] were compared with typically developing children (N = 78) with the same mental age (MA). The development of syntax in spoken language was examined by receptive and production tasks. RESULTS The development of syntax in children with ID was significantly delayed than in typically developing children with the same MA. However, when reaching the MA of 7-9, syntax abilities started to develop remarkably. Moreover, children with ASD had significant difficulties in acquiring passive voice, whereas children with DS showed a significant delay in syntactic development. CONCLUSIONS The development of syntax in children with ID might be affected by MA and the type of disability. Moreover, it is necessary to exceed an MA of 7-9 years for children with ID to develop syntax abilities.

Comparing pig breeds with genetically low and high backfat thickness: differences in expression of adiponectin, its receptor, and blood metabolites. Domest Anim Endocrinol 2019; 68:54-63.

Abstract
Here we characterized gene expressions in subcutaneous adipose tissue and blood metabolites of pigs with genetically low backfat (Landrace) and high backfat (Meishan). As pigs aged from 1 wk-to 3-mo old, mRNA levels of adipose-specific genes increased, although their gene expressions coding for major enzymes involved in lipid metabolism (lipoprotein lipase, fatty acid synthase, and hormone-sensitive lipase) did not differ between lean and fat pigs. Instead, there were significant effects for adiponectin and its receptor AdipoR1 mRNA levels between the two breeds of which respective expressions were lower and higher in Meishan by 3 mo of age. Contrary to changes in gene expressions, the concentrations of blood glucose, triglyceride (TG), and NEFA in both breeds decreased during growth, and 3-mo-old Meishan evidenced lower glucose with higher TG than the Landrace. The homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index was also calculated from the measurements of fasting glucose and insulin concentration, and Meishan showed a higher value than the Landrace. We next examined these differences in Landrace and Meishan crossbreds, which were phenotypically distinguishable by the backfat thickness as the former lean type and the latter fat type. As with the purebreds, high backfat Meishan crosses showed the characteristics of lower glucose and higher TG in circulating levels and also lower adiponectin transcripts in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Collectively, our results demonstrate that levels of adiponectin and its receptor gene expressions, blood glucose, blood lipids, and HOMA-IR in pigs vary between lean and fat. These observations strongly suggest the possibility that overall metabolic differences rather than adipocyte ability itself contribute to the fatness of genetically high backfat pigs.

Abstract
Background Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome candidate gene-1 (WHSC1), a histone methyltransferase, has been found to be upregulated and its expression to be correlated with expression of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) in several cancers. In this study, we evaluated the role of WHSC1 and its therapeutic significance in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC). Methods First, we analyzed WHSC1 expression by quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry using 23 clinical OCCC specimens. Second, the involvement of WHSC1 in OCCC cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assays after siRNA-mediated WHSC1 knockdown. We also performed flow cytometry (FACS) to address the effect of WHSC1 on cell cycle. To examine the functional relationship between EZH2 and WHSC1, we knocked down EZH2 using siRNAs and checked the expression levels of WHSC1 and its histone mark H3K36m2 in OCCC cell lines. Finally, we checked WHSC1 expression after treatment with the selective inhibitor, GSK126. Results Both quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical analysis revealed that WHSC1 was significantly overexpressed in OCCC tissues compared with that in normal ovarian tissues. MTT assay revealed that knockdown of WHSC1 suppressed cell proliferation, and H3K36me2 levels were found to be decreased in immunoblotting. FACS revealed that WHSC1 knockdown affected the cell cycle. We also confirmed that WHSC1 expression was suppressed by EZH2 knockdown or inhibition, indicating that EZH2 is upstream of WHSC1 in OCCC cells. Conclusions WHSC1 overexpression induced cell growth and its expression is, at least in part, regulated by EZH2. Further functional analysis will reveal whether WHSC1 is a promising therapeutic target for OCCC.

Histone methyltransferase SMYD2 selective inhibitor LLY-507 in combination with poly ADP ribose polymerase inhibitor has therapeutic potential against high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2019; 513:340-346. [PMID: 30955858 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2019.03.155] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2019] [Accepted: 03/23/2019] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
Dysfunction of histone methylation is known to be related to cancer progression. The histone methyltransferase SMYD2 methylates histone protein H3 and non-histone proteins, including poly ADP ribose polymerase 1 (PARP1). There have been reports of SMYD2 overexpression in several types of cancers. However, there are no reports regarding its role in high-grade serous ovarian carcinomas (HGSOCs). Therefore, we investigated the expression profile and conducted functional analysis on SMYD2 in HGSOC cells. In addition, we verified whether SMYD2 inhibition increases the susceptibility of HGSOC cells to PARP inhibitors. We analyzed the expression of histone methyltransferase SMYD2 by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry using HGSOC clinical tissues (n = 35). We performed functional analyses, including cell proliferation assay, cell cycle analysis, and immunoblotting, after treatment with SMYD2 siRNAs and SMYD2 selective inhibitor LLY-507 in HGSOC cells. We also performed colony-formation assay after combination treatment with LLY-507 and PARP inhibitor olaparib in HGSOC cells. The expression profiles of SMYD2 showed significant overexpression of SMYD2 in HGSOC clinical tissues. The knockdown or inhibition of SMYD2 by siRNAs or LLY-507, respectively, suppressed cell growth by increasing the proportion of apoptotic cells. LLY-507 showed additive effect with olaparib in the colony-formation assay. These findings suggest that LLY-507 can be used alone or in combination with a PARP inhibitor for the treatment of patients with HGSOC.

Abstract
Endometrioid endometrial carcinoma, commonly known as type 1 endometrial cancer, accounts for >80% of endometrial carcinomas and is dependent on estrogen. We recently reported on the prognostic significance of the BIRC5 survivin gene in endometrial cancer. Estradiol induces survivin expression in estrogen receptor-positive, but not in estrogen receptor-negative, cancer cells. Kaempferol, a bioflavonoid, reportedly inhibits estrogen receptor-α (ERα) in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer cells. However, whether kaempferol-mediated inhibition of ERα suppresses survivin and induces cell death in endometrial cancer remains unclarified. The present study evaluated the antitumor effects of kaempferol on endometrial cancer cells. Cell viability assays, flow cytometry analysis, western blotting and annexin V analyses were used to analyze the antitumor effects of kaempferol. The results demonstrated that kaempferol successfully suppressed the viability of two ER-positive endometrial cancer cell lines, with IC50 values of 83 and 65 µM. In addition, kaempferol induced sub-G1 cell accumulation and apoptotic cell death (P<0.01) in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment of cells with estradiol significantly induced co-expression of nuclear ERα and survivin proteins (P<0.001). Further evaluation revealed that kaempferol causes apoptotic cell death largely by suppressing ERα, survivin and Bcl-2 protein. Therefore, the results of the present study suggested that targeting ERα and survivin with kaempferol may be a novel therapeutic option against endometrial carcinoma.

MDM2 is a potential therapeutic target and prognostic factor for ovarian clear cell carcinomas with wild type TP53. Oncotarget 2018; 7:75328-75338.

Abstract
MDM2, a ubiquitin ligase, suppresses wild type TP53 via proteasome-mediated degradation. We evaluated the prognostic and therapeutic value of MDM2 in ovarian clear cell carcinoma. MDM2 expression in ovarian cancer tissues was analyzed by microarray and real-time PCR, and its relationship with prognosis was evaluated by Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. The anti-tumor activities of MDM2 siRNA and the MDM2 inhibitor RG7112 were assessed by cell viability assay, western blotting, and flow cytometry. The anti-tumor effects of RG7112 in vivo were examined in a mouse xenograft model. MDM2 expression was significantly higher in clear cell carcinoma than in ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma (P = 0.0092) and normal tissues (P = 0.035). High MDM2 expression determined by microarray was significantly associated with poor progression-free survival and poor overall survival (P = 0.0002, and P = 0.0008, respectively). Notably, RG7112 significantly suppressed cell viability in clear cell carcinoma cell lines with wild type TP53. RG7112 also strongly induced apoptosis, increased TP53 phosphorylation, and stimulated expression of the proapoptotic protein PUMA. Similarly, siRNA knockdown of MDM2 induced apoptosis. Finally, RG7112 significantly reduced the tumor volume of xenografted RMG-I clear cell carcinoma cells (P = 0.033), and the density of microvessels (P = 0.011). Our results highlight the prognostic value of MDM2 expression in clear cell carcinoma. Thus, MDM2 inhibitors such as RG7112 may constitute a class of potential therapeutics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aging anorexia, defined as loss of appetite and/or reduced food intake, has been postulated as a risk factor for frailty. Impairments of taste and smell perception in elderly people can lead to reduced enjoyment of food and contribute to the anorexia of aging. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between frailty and taste and smell perception in elderly people living in urban areas. DESIGN Data from the baseline evaluation of 768 residents aged ≥ 65 years who enrolled in a comprehensive geriatric health examination survey was analyzed. Fourteen out of 29-items of Appetite, Hunger, Sensory Perception questionnaire (AHSP), frailty, age, sex, BMI, chronic conditions and IADL were evaluated. AHSP was analyzed as the total score of 8 taste items (T) and 6 smell items (S). Frailty was diagnosed using a modified Fried's frailty criteria. RESULTS The area under the receiver operator curves for detection of frailty demonstrated that T (0.715) had moderate accuracy, but S (0.657) had low accuracy. The cutoffs, sensitivity, specificity and Youden Index (YI) values for each perception were T: Cutoff 26.5 (YI: 0.350, sensitivity: 0.639, specificity: 0.711) and S: Cutoff 18.5 (YI: 0.246, sensitivity: 0.690, specificity: 0.556). Results from multiple logistic regression models, after adjusting for age, sex, IADL and chronic conditions showed that participants under the T cutoff were associated with exhaustion and those below the S cutoff were associated with slow walking speed. The adjusted logistic models for age, sex, IADL and chronic conditions showed significant association between T and frailty (OR 2.81, 95% CI 1.29-6.12), but not between S and frailty (OR 1.73, 95% CI 0.83-3.63). CONCLUSIONS Taste and smell perception, particularly taste perception, were associated with a greater risk of frailty in community-dwelling elderly people. These results suggest that lower taste and smell perception may be an indicator of frailty in old age.

Abstract
Measurement of the dielectric properties of ocular tissues up to 110 GHz was performed by the coaxial probe method. A coaxial sensor was fabricated to allow the measurement of small amounts of biological tissues. Four-standard calibration was applied in the dielectric property measurement to obtain more accurate data than that obtained with conventional three-standard calibration, especially at high frequencies. Novel data of the dielectric properties of several ocular tissues are presented and compared with data from the de facto database.

Abstract
We studied caffeine- and noradrenaline-induced contraction in tail arteries from 4-week-old male SHR and age- and sex-matched WKY. After the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ had been depleted by the Ca(2+)-free EGTA (0.1 mmol/l) solution, the caffeine (10 mmol/l)-induced contractions in a low-Ca2+ (0.5 mmol/l) solution were smaller in SHR than in WKY. After the sarcoplasmic reticulum had been loaded with Ca2+ in physiological Ca2+ (2.5 mmol/l) solution, caffeine- and noradrenaline (10(-5) mol/l)-induced contractions in a Ca(2+)-free EGTA solution were smaller in SHR than in WKY. The Ca2+ concentration-tension relationship in skinned arterial fibres was similar in WKY and SHR. These data suggest that the ability of the sarcoplasmic reticulum to take up Ca2+ and store Ca2+ is decreased in SHR. The decreased take up and store of Ca2+ may increase cytosolic Ca2+, which elevates arterial resistance and develops hypertension in gene hypertension.

Abstract
An epidemiological survey of cataract was performed in a limited local population. 1,020 individuals over 40 years of age were examined. The crystalline lens findings were documented by both Scheimpflug and retroillumination photography. Cataractous changes were classified into three groups according to early senile changes, incipient cataractous changes and only prominent cataractous changes. Forms of opacification were classified as cortical, subcapsular, nuclear, mixed type and others. The percent prevalence of cataracts including early senile changes was 33.9% in the 40-year-old population, 62.8% in the 50, 76.2% in the 60, 84.0% in the 70 and 100% for those in their 80s. Prominent cataractous opacification was 1.6% in the 40-year-old population, 3.1% for those in their 50s, 19.0% in their 60s, 28.6% in their 70s and 57.1% in their 80s, respectively. Until age 60, the type of opacification was mainly cortical alone; however, after age 70, cortical opacity accompanied by nuclear and/or capsular opacities increased. The pure nuclear type increased in individuals over 70.

Abstract
Microthrombi in 43 untreated and 26 treated cases of DIC were studied histologically and immunohistochemically. In the untreated cases, four types of microthrombi (intraluminal microthrombi with or without fibroblastic and/or smooth muscle cell reaction) were identified. Microthrombi in the former three types showed various degrees of thrombolysis. Failure of thrombolysis seemed to lead the organization of microthrombi. These morphological findings were considered to indicate the course of DIC and the degree of disappearance of the microthrombi in DIC. Microthrombi in the hepatic sinusoids and glomerular capillaries were studied with special reference to the removal processes of the microthrombi. Pathogenesis of renal cortical necrosis in DIC was also discussed. The number of microthrombi was markedly decreased by heparin and gabexate mesilate treatment. The incidences of microthrombi in the liver, kidney, lung, and heart were compared in the two treated groups.
