Abstract: Abstract Background According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 80% or more deaths in Pacific island countries, including Fiji, were related to non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Although competency-based approaches have been effective for developing healthcare workers’ capabilities, there are only a few reports on competency scales of healthcare workers for NCD prevention. We aimed to develop a self-reported measurement scale on a potential component of competency in the healthcare staff engaged in the prevention and control of NCDs in Fiji. Methods There were 378 Ministry of Health and Medical Services staff members working on NCD prevention and control in Fiji included in this study, which was a cross-sectional survey of social factors, working situation factors, and competency. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to assess potential competency components, whereas Cronbach’s α coefficient and analysis of variance were used to assess the validity and reliability of the scale items, respectively. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted to analyze the respondents’ factor scores relative to social status and work situations. Results The factor analysis revealed 16 items that identified competency in four work types: 1) work management, 2) monitoring and evaluation, 3) community partnership, and 4) community diagnosis. The monitoring and evaluation roles were related to ethnic background, community partnership was related to religion, and community diagnosis was related to academic qualifications. Conclusions Based on the results, we developed a competency scale for the four work types. This scale can help healthcare workers engage in better management of residents with NCDs in Fiji.

Abstract: Abstract Background Many survivors of the Great East Japan Earthquake that occurred in 2011 were at risk of deteriorating health, especially elderly people living in disaster-stricken areas. The objectives of this prospective study were: a) to clarify the different lifestyle and psychosocial factors associated with frailty by sex among the non-disabled elderly survivors, and b) to describe the differences in characteristics stratified by the degree of disaster-related housing damage. Methods We followed 2261 Japanese survivors aged ≥65 years (45.3% male; mean age, 71.7 years) without disability or frailty who completed a self-administered questionnaire at baseline. All participants completed a baseline questionnaire in 2011 and at least one identical follow-up questionnaire between 2012 and 2015 regarding lifestyle (smoking status, alcohol intake, physical activity, sedentary lifestyle, and dietary intake) and psychosocial factors (self-rated health, standard of living, psychological distress, and social networks). Frailty was defined as a score of ≥5 on the Kihon Checklist, which is used by the Japanese government to certify the need for long-term care insurance. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals with frailty as the dichotomous dependent variable and health factors as the independent variables were calculated using a multilevel model for repeated measures by sex, followed by stratification analyses by the degree of housing damage. Results Over the 4-year study period, 510 participants (22.6%) developed frailty. In the post-disaster setting, many of the psychosocial factors remained more prevalent 4 years later among survivors with extensive housing damage. The presence of risk factors regarding the development of frailty differed by the degree of housing damage. Among men, psychological distress, in parallel with a poor social network, was related to frailty among only the participants with extensive housing damage and those living in temporary housing, whereas among women, worsening psychological distress was associated only with no damage and no displaced survivors. Among women with extensive damage and displacement, health outcomes such as overweight and diabetes and poor social networks were strongly related to frailty. Conclusions Lifestyle and psychosocial factors associated with the risk of frailty differ by sex and the degree of housing damage.

Abstract: We apply the match technique, whereby the same air mass is observed more than once and such cases are termed a "match", to study the dehydration process associated with horizontal advection in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL) over the western Pacific. The matches are obtained from profile data taken by the Soundings of Ozone and Water in the Equatorial Region (SOWER) campaign network observations using isentropic trajectories calculated from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) operational analyses. For the matches identified, extensive screening procedures are performed to verify the representativeness of the air parcel and the validity of the isentropic treatment, and to check for possible water injection by deep convection, consistency between the sonde data and analysis field referring to the ozone conservation. Among the matches that passed the screening tests, we identified some cases corresponding to the first quantitative value of dehydration associated with horizontal advection in the TTL. The statistical features of dehydration for the air parcels advected in the lower TTL are derived from the matches. The threshold of nucleation is estimated to be 146 ± 1% (1σ) in relative humidity with respect to ice (RHice), while dehydration seems to continue until RHice reaches about 75 ± 23% (1σ) in the altitude region from 350 to 360 K. The efficiency of dehydration expressed by the relaxation time required for the supersaturated air parcel to approach saturation is empirically determined from the matches. A relaxation time of approximately one hour reproduces the second water vapor observation reasonably well, given the first observed water vapor amount and the history of the saturation mixing ratio during advection in the lower TTL.

5. Cold trap dehydration in the Tropical Tropopause Layer characterised by SOWER chilled-mirror hygrometer network data in the Tropical Pacific

Abstract: A network of balloon-borne radiosonde observations employing chilled-mirror hygrometers for water and electrochemical concentration cells for ozone has been operated since the late 1990s in the Tropical Pacific to capture the evolution of dehydration of air parcels advected quasi-horizontally in the Tropical Tropopause Layer (TTL). The analysis of this dataset is made on isentropes taking advantage of the conservative properties of tracers moving adiabatically. The existence of ice particles is diagnosed by lidars simultaneously operated with sonde flights. Characteristics of the TTL dehydration are presented on the basis of individual soundings and statistical features. Supersaturations close to 80% in relative humidity with respect to ice (RHice) have been observed in subvisible cirrus clouds located near the cold point tropopause at extremely low temperatures around 180 K. Although further observational evidence is needed to confirm the credibility of such high values of RHice, the evolution of TTL dehydration is evident from the data in isentropic scatter plots between the sonde-observed mixing ratio (OMR) and the minimum saturation mixing ratio (SMRmin) along the back trajectories associated with the observed air mass. Supersaturation exceeding the critical value of homogeneous ice nucleation (OMR > 1.6 × SMRmin) is frequently observed on the 360 and 365 K surfaces indicating that cold trap dehydration is in progress in the TTL. The near correspondence between the two (OMR ~ SMRmin) at 380 K on the other hand implies that this surface is not sufficiently cold for the advected air parcels to be dehydrated. Above 380 K, cold trap dehydration would scarcely function while some moistening occurs before the air parcels reach the lowermost stratosphere at around 400 K where OMR is generally smaller than SMRmin.

Abstract: Water vapor observations by chilled-mirror hygrometers were conducted at Bandung, Indonesia (6.90° S, 107.60° E) and Tarawa, Kiribati (1.35° N, 172.91° E) in December 2003 to examine the efficiency of dehydration during horizontal advection in the tropical tropopause layer (TTL). Trajectory analyses based on bundles of isentropic trajectories suggest that the modification of air parcels' identity due to irreversible mixing by the branching-out and merging-in of nearby trajectories is found to be an important factor, in addition to the routes air parcels follow, for interpreting the water vapor concentrations observed by chilled-mirror frostpoint hygrometers in the TTL. Clear correspondence between the observed water vapor concentration and the estimated temperature history of air parcels is found showing that drier air parcels were exposed to lower temperatures than were more humid ones during advection. Although the number of observations is quite limited, the water content in the observed air parcels on many occasions was more than that expected from the minimum saturation mixing ratio during horizontal advection prior to sonde observations.

Abstract: Background and Aims. To control the COVID-19 spread, in March 2020, a forced home lockdown was established in Spain. In the present study, we aimed to assess the effect of mobility and social COVID-19-established restrictions on depressive symptomatology in older adults with metabolic syndrome. We hypothesize that severe restrictions might have resulted in detrimental changes in depressive symptomatology. Methods. 2,312 PREDIMED-Plus study participants ( men = 53.9 %; mean age = 64.9 ± 4.8 years) who completed a COVID-19 lockdown questionnaire to assess the severity of restrictions/lockdown and the validated Spanish version of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) during the three established phases concerning the COVID-19 lockdown in Spain (prelockdown, lockdown, and postlockdown) were included in this longitudinal analysis. Participants were categorized according to high or low lockdown severity. Analyses of covariance were performed to assess changes in depressive symptomatology across lockdown phases. Results. No significant differences in participant depression symptomatology changes were observed between lockdown severity categories (low/high) at the studied phases. During the lockdown phase, participants showed a decrease in BDI-II score compared to the prelockdown phase (mean (95% CI), -0.48 (-0.24, -0.72), P < 0.001 ); a nonsignificantly larger decrease was observed in participants allocated in the low-lockdown category (low: -0.59 (-0.95, -0.23), high: -0.43 (-0.67, -0.19)). Similar decreases in depression symptomatology were found for the physical environment dimension. The post- and prelockdown phase BDI-II scores were roughly similar. Conclusions. The COVID-19 pandemic lockdown was associated with a decrease in depressive symptomatology that returned to

Abstract: Background: Observational findings for high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity (HDL-CEC) and coronary heart disease (CHD) appear inconsistent, and knowledge of the genetic architecture of HDL-CEC is limited. Objectives: A large-scale observational study on the associations of HDL-CEC and other HDL-related measures with CHD and the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) of HDL-CEC. Participants/Methods: Six independent cohorts were included with follow-up data for 14,438 participants to investigate the associations of HDL-related measures with incident CHD (1,570 events). The GWAS of HDL-CEC was carried out in 20,372 participants. Results: HDL-CEC did not associate with CHD when adjusted for traditional risk factors and HDL cholesterol (HDL-C). In contradiction, almost all HDL-related concentration measures associated consistently with CHD after corresponding adjustments. There were no genetic loci associated with HDL-CEC independent of HDL-C and triglycerides. Conclusions: HDL-CEC is not unequivocally associated with CHD in contrast to HDL-C, apolipoprotein A-I, and most of the HDL subclass particle concentrations.

Abstract: A systematic review and meta-analysis of cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies was conducted to assess the associations between total dairy consumption and its different subtypes with the prevalence and incidence of overweight, obesity, and overweight/obesity in children and adolescents. A literature search was conducted in Medline through PUBMED and Cochrane Library databases until October 18, 2021. Articles reporting the risk estimates as odd ratios (OR), risk ratios (RR), or hazard ratios and their corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between dairy product consumption and the risk of overweight and/or obesity were included. In the meta-analysis from cross-sectional studies, results showed an inverse association between total dairy consumption and obesity prevalence (OR (95% CI): 0.66 (0.48-0.91). No significant associations were found between milk or yogurt and obesity prevalence risk. Regarding prospective studies, total milk consumption was positively associated with overweight prevalence (OR (95% CI): 1.13 (1.01-1.26)) and incidence (RR (95%CI): 1.17 (1.01-1.35)) risk. Evidence from pooled analysis of cross-sectional studies suggested an inverse association between total dairy consumption and obesity. However, there is limited and no conclusive evidence to confirm an inverse relationship from pooled analysis of prospective studies in children and adolescents.

Abstract: Abstract Earthquakes with magnitudes of 6–7 have been reported even in various active tectonic settings where fault deformation topography have not been detected. Therefore, delineating concealed active faults generating such earthquakes is necessary to reduce earthquake damage; however, few studies exist to provide its clues regarding such faults. The 1984 Western Nagano Earthquake in Japan was a main shock with a magnitude of Mj 6.8 and a depth of 2 km at the source. Solid bedrocks are well‐exposed in the earthquake source region; however, no surface rupture have been identified, and the active fault is known to be concealed. In this study, we collected data on striations observed in fractures by geological survey around the source area of the 1984 Western Nagano Earthquake. Using the collected data, the multiple inverse method was used to estimate the stresses that affected the striation formation. Consequently, stresses similar to acting faults in this area were detected in minor faults around the known concealed active fault. This suggests that the minor faults might be part of the damage zone that has been developed around the concealed active fault. Some minor faults were recognized in Quaternary volcanic rocks, confirming that they experienced displacements recently. This study indicates the possibility of detecting concealed active faults in the bedrock by geological survey.

Abstract: Background: Low socio-economic position (SEP) is a risk factor for multiple health outcomes, but its molecular imprints in the body remain unclear. Methods: We examined SEP as a determinant of serum nuclear magnetic resonance metabolic profiles in ∼30 000 adults and 4000 children across 10 UK and Finnish cohort studies. Results: In risk-factor-adjusted analysis of 233 metabolic measures, low educational attainment was associated with 37 measures including higher levels of triglycerides in small high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and lower levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), omega-3 fatty acids, apolipoprotein A1, large and very large HDL particles (including levels of their respective lipid constituents) and cholesterol measures across different density lipoproteins. Among adults whose father worked in manual occupations, associations with apolipoprotein A1, large and very large HDL particles and HDL-2 cholesterol remained after adjustment for SEP in later life. Among manual workers, levels of glutamine were higher compared with non-manual workers. All three indicators of low SEP were associated with lower DHA, omega-3 fatty acids and HDL diameter. At all ages, children of manual workers had lower levels of DHA as a proportion of total fatty acids. Conclusions: Our work indicates that social and economic factors have a measurable impact on human physiology. Lower SEP was independently associated with a generally unfavourable metabolic profile, consistent across ages and cohorts. The metabolites we found to be associated with SEP, including DHA, are known to predict cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline in later life and may contribute to health inequalities.

Abstract: The nitrogenase complex in the heterocysts of the filamentous freshwater cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 fixes atmospheric nitrogen to allow diazotrophic growth. The heterocyst cell envelope protects the nitrogenase from oxygen and consists of a polysaccharide and a glycolipid layer that are formed by a complex process involving the recruitment of different proteins. Here we studied the function of the putative nucleoside-diphosphate-sugar epimerase HgdA, which along with HgdB and HgdC is essential for deposition of the glycolipid layer and growth without a combined nitrogen source. Using site-directed mutagenesis and single homologous recombination approach, we performed a thoroughly functional characterization of HgdA and confirmed that the glycolipid layer of the hgdA mutant heterocyst is aberrant as shown by transmission electron microscopy and chemical analysis. The hgdA gene was expressed during late stages of the heterocyst differentiation. GFP-tagged HgdA protein localized inside the heterocysts. The purified HgdA protein had UDP-galactose 4-epimerase activity in vitro. This enzyme could be responsible for synthesis of heterocyst-specific glycolipid precursors, which could be transported over the cell wall by the ABC transporter components HgdB/HgdC.

However, especially in developing countries, the maintenance and management of this data is incomplete, which hinders the promotion of smart cities. The objective of this study is to develop a method to create detailed building distribution maps from satellite images, which will serve as a basis for developing detailed demographic data to support the promotion of smart cities around the world. The target area is several areas of Tokyo where validation data is available. We first developed a method for extracting buildings from satellite images and then estimating the building use to determine the buildings where residents are distributed. Both methods use deep learning. As a result, it was possible to extract buildings with an extraction rate (the number of buildings in the automatically extracted building data divided by the number of buildings in the data for verification) of up to 60.3% for the entire target area. In addition, in the estimation of building use, our method was able to classify detached and non-detached buildings with an average accuracy of 78.7% for the entire target area.

Abstract: Background: Raised blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. We estimated worldwide trends in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of, and number of people with, raised blood pressure, defined as systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher or diastolic blood pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher. Methods: For this analysis, we pooled national, subnational, or community population-based studies that had measured blood pressure in adults aged 18 years and older. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1975 to 2015 in mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, and the prevalence of raised blood pressure for 200 countries. We calculated the contributions of changes in prevalence versus population growth and ageing to the increase in the number of adults with raised blood pressure. Findings: We pooled 1479 studies that had measured the blood pressures of 19.1 million adults. Global age-standardised mean systolic blood pressure in 2015 was 127.0 mm Hg (95% credible interval 125.7–128.3) in men and 122.3 mm Hg (121.0–123.6) in women; age-standardised mean diastolic blood pressure was 78.7 mm Hg (77.9–79.5) for men and 76.7 mm Hg (75.9–77.6) for women. Global age-standardised prevalence of raised blood pressure was 24.1% (21.4–27.1) in men and 20.1% (17.8–22.5) in women in 2015. Mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure decreased substantially from 1975 to 2015 in high-income western and Asia Pacific countries, moving these countries from having some of the highest worldwide blood pressure in 1975 to the lowest in 2015. Mean blood pressure also decreased in women in central and eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and, more recently, central Asia, Middle East, and north Africa, but the estimated trends in these super-regions had larger uncertainty than in high-income super-regions. By contrast, mean blood pressure might have increased in

Abstract: Abstract A thermospheric wind data set from a Fabry‐Perot interferometer (630 nm) and the ion velocity from a Dynasonde in Tromsø, Norway, was analyzed for nine winter seasons to study the dynamics of the thermosphere and F‐region ionosphere at an auroral latitude. This study focused on bifurcation in the zonal component of the neutral wind and ion velocity at midnight and its dependence on the Y component of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Ionospheric plasma convection patterns are evidently imprinted on the thermospheric wind variations as aspects of the westward and eastward accelerations at dusk and late morning, respectively. The zonal wind bifurcates immediately before midnight for IMF By 0, it inverts gradually into the postmidnight sector. Neutral wind streams, originating from higher latitudes, may result in the dependence because of anti‐sunward plasma flow distorted in the polar cap.

Abstract: Abstract Understanding pellet ablation physics is crucial to realizing efficient fueling into a high temperature plasma for the steady state operation of ITER and future fusion reactors. Here we report the first observation of the formation of fluctuation structures in the pellet plasmoid during the pellet ablation process by a fast camera in a medium-sized fusion device, Heliotron J. The fluctuation has a normalized fluctuation level of ~ 15% and propagates around the moving pellet across the magnetic field. By comparing the fluctuation structures with the shape of magnetic field lines calculated with the field line tracing code, we successfully reconstruct the spatio-temporal structure of the fluctuations during the pellet ablation process. The fluctuations are located at the locations displaced toroidally from the pellet and propagate in the cross-field direction around the pellet axis along the field line, indicating a three-dimensional behavior and structure of fluctuations. The fluctuation would be driven by a strong inhomogeneity formed around the pellet and invoke the relaxation of the gradient through a cross-field transport induced by the fluctuations, which could affect the pellet ablation and pellet fueling processes. Such fluctuations can be ubiquitously present at the inhomogeneity formed around a pellet in the pellet ablation process in fusion devices.

Abstract: Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 is a filamentous cyanobacterium able to fix atmospheric nitrogen in semi-regularly spaced heterocysts. For correct heterocyst function, a special cell envelope consisting of a glycolipid layer and a polysaccharide layer is essential. We investigated the role of the genes hgdB and hgdC, encoding domains of a putative ABC transporter, in heterocyst maturation. We investigated the subcellular localization of the fusion protein HgdC-GFP and followed the differential expression of the hgdB and hgdC genes during heterocyst maturation. Using a single recombination approach, we created a mutant in hgdB gene and studied its phenotype by microscopy and analytical chromatography. Although heterocysts are formed in the mutant, the structure of the glycolipid layer is aberrant and also contains an atypical ratio of the two major glycolipids. As shown by a pull-down assay, HgdB interacts with the outer membrane protein TolC, which indicates a function as a type 1 secretion system. We show that the hgdB-hgdC genes are essential for the creation of micro-oxic conditions by influencing the correct composition of the glycolipid layer for heterocyst function. Our observations confirm the significance of the hgdB-hgdC gene cluster and shed light on a novel mode of regulation of heterocyst envelope formation.

29. Abstract 20097: Burden of Arrhythmias in Patients Hospitalized With Cardiac Amyloidosis

Author: Yogita M Rochlani, Shah N Nishi, Abdul Hakeem, and Sabha Bhatti
Subjects: Physiology (medical), cardiovascular system, cardiovascular diseases, Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine
Abstract: Introduction: Cardiac Amyloidosis (CA) predisposes patients to atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Data on distribution of arrhythmias in this patient population is scarce. We sought to study the prevalence of various types of arrhythmias in this vulnerable patient population. Methods: Patients hospitalized with a diagnosis of CA were identified using appropriate ICD 9 codes from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample for the period between 2007-2011. Cardiac arrhythmias listed in the discharge diagnosis were recorded based on ICD 9 codes. Statistical analysis was done using SAS v9.3 (Cary Institute Inc., Cary, NC). Results: A total of 13,602 patients hospitalized for CA between 2007-2011 were identified of which 52.6% (n=7157) had an arrhythmia listed during the hospitalization (table). The most common arrhythmia was atrial fibrillation (AF) (32.3%, n= 4390), followed by ventricular tachycardia (9.9%, n=1352), atrial flutter (6.5%, n=878) and atrioventricular blocks (3.5%, n=470). There was no gender difference in prevalence of arrhythmias. All-cause mortality during hospitalization was 10%. In hospitalized patients, ventricular tachycardia was the most common life threatening arrhythmia followed by ventricular fibrillation. Conclusions: CA patients have a high arrhythmia burden with a high incidence of AF and life threatening arrhythmias such as ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation. Whether this patient population will benefit from ICD implantation for primary prevention is not clearly known. Further research is required to identify specific arrhythmic risk factors and develop guidelines for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in this patient population.

Subjects: SURFACE plasmons, WAVEGUIDES, POLARITONS, ELECTROMAGNETIC waves, OSCILLATIONS, DIELECTRICS
Abstract: Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) are surface electromagnetic waves that propagate at the interface between a dielectric and a metal. The wave propagates along the interface between two media and remains evanescently confused in both the media in the direction perpendicular to the interface. These surface electromagnetic waves arise due to the coupling of the electromagnetic fields to oscillations of the metal’s electron plasma. The Single interface between a metal and dielectric (M-D) is the basic surface plasmon waveguide and the multilayer Dielectric-Metal-Dielectric (D-M-D) and its complementary structure Metal-Dielectric-Metal (M-D-M) are also considered to be the fundamental waveguides for SPP [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: A potyvirus (isolate IB) causing dappled or faded fruits and foliar mosaic symptoms of purple passionfruit, was found in the botanical garden of Kagoshima University, Japan. This isolate – differed in host range from isolates of Passion fruit woodiness virus (PWV)-AO, previously reported to cause “woodiness” in Japan. Isolates IB and AO had 83% amino acid identity in their coat proteins (CPs). In phylogenetic analysis, East Asian isolates IB, AO, and PWV-Taiwan clustered together, and were distinguishable from Australian PWV and Brazilian Cowpea aphid-borne mosaic virus isolates, which also cause “woodiness” in passionfruit. We propose the name “East Asian Passiflora virus (EAPV)” for the new potyvirus species.

Abstract: The exacerbation of asthma during viral infections is mainly explained by neutrophils infiltrating into the airways. However, enhanced functions of eosinophils are also observed. The aim of this study was to reveal the mechanism of how eosinophils are activated during and after viral infection of the airways, using a model of viral infection. A synthetic double-stranded RNA, poly inosinic-cytidyric acid (poly(IC)), was transfected to a human airway epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) and the primary bronchial epithelial cells, to mimic a viral infection. The production of chemokines from the cells was investigated. The transfection of poly(IC), alone, marginally affected the eotaxin-3 production of the cells. However, the transfection of poly(IC) prior to interleukin (IL)-4 stimulation enhanced eotaxin-3 production. Poly(IC) transfection increased mRNA and protein expressions of IL-4 receptor (R)alpha and IL-2Rgamma, components of the IL-4R. In BEAS-2B cells, IL-4-mediated phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription six was enhanced in poly(IC) transfected cells. This was reversed by the addition of anti-IL-4Ralpha antibody, suggesting the role of an increased number of IL-4 receptors in enhanced IL-4-induced eotaxin-3 production. Poly(IC)-induced upregulation of IL-4Ralpha was inhibited by treatment with cycloheximide or dexamethasone. In conclusion, these results suggest that viral airway infection may enhance interleukin-4-induced eotaxin-3 production through upregulation of the interleukin-4 receptor in airway epithelial cells.

Abstract: Background: One of the global targets for non-communicable diseases is to halt, by 2025, the rise in the age standardised adult prevalence of diabetes at its 2010 levels. We aimed to estimate worldwide trends in diabetes, how likely it is for countries to achieve the global target, and how changes in prevalence, together with population growth and ageing, are aff ecting the number of adults with diabetes. Methods: We pooled data from population-based studies that had collected data on diabetes through measurement of its biomarkers. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends in diabetes prevalence-defined as fasting plasma glucose of 7.0 mmol/L or higher, or history of diagnosis with diabetes, or use of insulin or oral hypoglycaemic drugs-in 200 countries and territories in 21 regions, by sex and from 1980 to 2014. We also calculated the posterior probability of meeting the global diabetes target if post-2000 trends continue. Findings: We used data from 751 studies including 4372000 adults from 146 of the 200 countries we make estimates for. Global age-standardised diabetes prevalence increased from 4.3% (95% credible interval 2.4-17.0) in 1980 to 9.0% (7.2-11.1) in 2014 in

Abstract: Being taller is associated with enhanced longevity, and higher education and earnings. We reanalysed 1472 population-based studies, with measurement of height on more than 18.6 million participants to estimate mean height for people born between 1896 and 1996 in 200 countries. The largest gain in adult height over the past century has occurred in South Korean women and Iranian men, who became 20.2 cm (95% credible interval 17.5-22.7) and 16.5 cm (13.3- 19.7) taller, respectively. In contrast, there was little change in adult height in some sub-Saharan African countries and in South Asia over the century of analysis. The tallest people over these 100 years are men born in the Netherlands in the last quarter of 20th century, whose average heights surpassed 182.5 cm, and the shortest were women born in Guatemala in 1896 (140.3 cm; 135.8- 144.8). The height differential between the tallest and shortest populations was 19-20 cm a century ago, and has remained the same for women and increased for men a century later despite substantial changes in the ranking of countries.

36. Study on three-dimensional micromachining using synchrotron radiation etching

Abstract: In this paper, we proposed a new approach of three-dimensional (3-D) micromachining without using any masks. This approach is a direct writing using synchrotron radiation (SR) etching. Several approaches to fabricate 3-D microstructures using photo-lithography have been proposed. However, these approaches are limited to fabricate microstructures due to the using mask process. SR etching is a dry process, and the etching rate of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) is so high (100 μm/min) in vacuum using the SR white light. By utilizing a high processing speed and smoothness of the etched surfaces, SR etching might have a potential for 3-D micromachining by combining the direct writing with a stage having a high degree of freedom. Here, we reported the results of 3-D micromachining of PTFE using SR etching in vacuum and examined the dependence of SR etching of PTFE on the etching environment under an atmospheric pressure of He.

Abstract: There have been few studies on the association of fruit and vegetable (FV) intake with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in Asian populations where both dietary habits and disease structure are different from western countries. No study in Asia has found its significant association with stroke. We examined associations of FV intake with mortality risk from total CVD, stroke and coronary heart diseases (CHDs) in a representative Japanese sample.A total of 9112 participants aged from 24-year follow-up data in the NIPPON DATA80, of which baseline data were obtained in the National Nutrition Survey Japan in 1980, were studied. Dietary data were obtained from 3-day weighing dietary records. Participants were divided into sex-specific quartiles of energy adjusted intake of FV. Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated between strata of the total of FV intake, fruit intake and vegetable intake. The adjustment included age, sex, smoking, drinking habit and energy adjusted intakes of sodium and some other food groups.Participants with higher FV intake were older, ate more fish, milk and dairy products and soybeans and legumes and ate less meat. Multivariate-adjusted HR (95% confidence interval; P; P for trend) for the highest versus the lowest quartile of the total of FV intake was 0.74 (0.61-0.91; 0.004; 0.003) for total CVD, 0.80 (0.59-1.09; 0.105; 0.036) for stroke and 0.57 (0.37-0.87; 0.010; 0.109) for CHD.The results showed that higher total intake of FVs was significantly associated with reduced risk of CVD mortality in Japan.

Abstract: This paper presents rapid three-dimensional microfabrication technologies for PTFE by direct writing with the TIEGA process, a LIGA-like process which replaces hard X-ray lithography with synchrotron radiation (SR) direct photo-etching. The etching rates of this process are of the order of 6-100 /spl mu/m/min, depending on the photon flux of the SR light. An X-ray lathe has been modified into an SR etching lathe to form cylindrical, helical, pyramidal, ellipsoidal, and other nonplanar objects. A metallic wire covered with a PTFE sheet is rotated and/or moved while being irradiated with SR through a mask. Moreover, direct writing without using any masks has been developed, by combining a scanning stage with a high degree of freedom under an He atmosphere, for creating any microstructure. The capabilities of these technologies and initial fabrication results are described here.

Abstract: Fabrication techniques of microstructures with high resolution and high aspect ratio are necessary for practical microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) that have high performance and integration. In order to fabricate microstructures with sub-micron resolution and high aspect ratio, deep X-ray lithography has been investigated using the compact synchrotron radiation (SR) light source called “AURORA”. An X-ray mask for sub-micron deep X-ray lithography, which is composed of 1 μm thick Au as absorbers, 2 μm thick SiC as a membrane and 625 μm thick Si as a frame, was designed. In preliminary experiments, the following results were achieved: EB resist microstructures with an aspect ratio of 22 corresponding with 0.07 μm width and 1.3 μm height were formed; a 10 μm thick PMMA resist containing no warp was formed by direct polymerization, enabling more precise gap control.

42. Low-Frequency Raman Spectroscopy of Ethanol−Water Binary Solution: Evidence for Self-Association of Solute and Solvent Molecules

Abstract: Low-frequency Raman spectra of ethanol−water binary solutions with varying mixing ratios are measured and presented in the form of the intrinsic Raman scattering activity, the R(ν) spectra. They exhibit an isosbestic point at 135 cm-1 between the pure water O−O stretching peak at 185 cm-1 and that of pure ethanol at 110 cm-1. The R(ν) spectra of the binary solutions are found to be decomposed into linear combinations of the R(ν) spectra of pure water and pure ethanol. The plot of the coefficients of linear combinations as a function of ethanol mole fraction xE has an inflection point at xE = 0.2, and the increasing fraction of the ethanol component is compensated with the decreasing fraction of the water component. This can be explained when ethanol−water binary solution does not get ideally mixed on the molecular level and the hydrogen bonds between water associates and ethanol associates become weak owing to the collective molecular motion or the sliding motion of the two units.

45. In vivo self-renewal of c-Kit+ Sca-1+ Lin(low/-) hemopoietic stem cells

Abstract: The long term marrow-repopulating ability of mouse bone marrow c-Kit+ Sca-1+ Lin(low/-) cells was studied. Injection of as few as 100 c-Kit+ Sca-1+ Lin(low/-) cells could rescue a lethally irradiated recipient mouse and reconstitute both myeloid and lymphoid cells in their peripheral blood for at least 10 mo. When limiting dilution analysis was performed in the presence of host-derived rescue cells, as low as five c-Kit+ Sca-1+ Lin(low/-) cells were shown to be capable of repopulating lymphohemopoietic cells. Subsequently, we examined whether c-Kit+ Sca-1+ Lin(low/-) cells had a capacity for self-renewal in vivo. After transplantation of 500 c-Kit+ Sca-1+ Lin(low/-) Ly-5.1+ cells into lethally irradiated Ly-5 congenic mice, the expansion of cells with the same phenotypes as the injected cells was monitored. By day 28 post-transplantation, more than 50,000 donor type c-Kit+ Sca-1+ Lin(low/-) Ly-5.1+ cells were found in the spleen and over 18,000 cells were found in bone marrow. The expansion in spleen, however, was transient in that by day 60 cells of the donor phenotype were found only in bone marrow. The c-Kit+ Sca-1+ Lin(low/-) LY-5.1+ cells expanded in spleen or bone marrow contained as many high proliferative potential colony-forming cells as the originally injected cells. They also contained cells with LTRA, but the frequency appeared to be less compared with naive c-Kit+ Sca-1+ Lin(low/-) cells. These data provide evidence that c-Kit+ Sca-1+ Lin(low/-) cells in bone marrow are capable of multilineage differentiation as well as self-renewal and that spleen is a primary site of stem cell expansion after transplantation.

Abstract: In this paper, we have implemented a modified version of the Bypass Zero Feed A Directly (MODBZ-FAD) multiplier architecture based on shift- and add- method. This architecture has considerably low power than the other multiplier architectures. In this architecture we have reduced the power consumption and propagation delay of the circuit. This has been done by removing Bypass register,dflipflop & multiplexers. The synthesis results shows that the switching activity had been lowered up to 78% and power consumption up to 22% when compared up to BZ-FAD architecture.

Abstract: A large amount of Tb2O3 and Dy2O3 has successfully been incorporated into a borate glass with a molar composition of 5B2O3−3Ga2O3−3SiO2−P2O5. Raman scattering analysis revealed the existence of isolated orthborate (BO3)3- groups with increasing rare-earth content. The obtained glass exhibited an excellent Faraday rotation effect in the visible region. The simultaneous incorporation of 40 mol % Tb2O3 and 10 mol % Dy2O3 offered the Verdet constant of as much as −185.3 rad/(T × m) at 632.8 nm at 300 K.

Abstract: The rare decay ${K}_{L}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}\ensuremath{\nu}\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}$ was studied with the E391a detector at the KEK 12-GeV proton synchrotron. Based on $9.4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{9}$ ${K}_{L}^{0}$ decays, an upper limit of $8.1\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}7}$ was obtained for the branching fraction at 90% confidence level. We also set a limit on the ${K}_{L}^{0}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}X$ ($X\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathrm{\text{invisible particles}}$) process; the limit on the branching fraction varied from $7.0\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}7}$ to $4.0\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$ for the mass of $X$ ranging from $50\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/{c}^{2}$ to $200\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}/{c}^{2}$.

Abstract: We performed a search for the decay K{sub L}{sup 0}{yields}3{gamma} with the E391a detector at KEK. In the data accumulated in 2005, no event was observed in the signal region. Based on the assumption of K{sub L}{sup 0}{yields}3{gamma} proceeding via parity-violation, we obtained the single event sensitivity to be (3.23{+-}0.14)x10{sup -8}, and set an upper limit on the branching ratio to be 7.4x10{sup -8} at the 90% confidence level. This is a factor of 3.2 improvement compared to the previous results. The results of K{sub L}{sup 0}{yields}3{gamma} proceeding via parity-conservation were also presented in this paper.
