Abstract

Preventing the decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) is significant for postmenopausal women. We previously discovered that rhamnose, a deoxy monosaccharide used as a food additive, could suppress bone resorption; however, studies confirming this effect in postmenopausal women are lacking. Therefore, this pilot study aimed to explore whether rhamnose could help maintain BMD via bone resorption suppression in postmenopausal women. The participants consumed either 1.0 or 0.5 g/day of rhamnose or placebo for 24 weeks, and BMD (lumbar spine and femur) and bone turnover markers were measured. After 24 weeks, the group consuming rhamnose 1.0 g/day exhibited a significantly higher BMD of the lumbar spine than the placebo group. Furthermore, the levels of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b, a bone resorption marker, were significantly lower in both rhamnose groups. These results indicated that rhamnose might contribute to the maintenance of BMD by suppressing bone resorption in healthy postmenopausal women (UMIN000046570). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the association of insulin resistance (evaluated by the short insulin tolerance test [SITT]) with parameters related to obesity and insulin resistance. We prospectively recruited controls and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), subjected them to the SITT, and calculated the K indices of the intravenous insulin tolerance test (KITT(iv)) and the subcutaneous insulin tolerance test (KITT(sc)). We compared KITT(iv) results between the volunteers and patients and examined its correlation with KITT(sc). We also examined the association of KITT(iv) with obesity, insulin resistance-related parameters, and the insulin dose required for glycemic control. A total of 24 participants (seven controls and 17 patients with T2DM) were studied. The mean KITT(iv) was significantly lower in patients with T2DM than in the controls (2.5%±2.1% vs. 4.5%±1.8%). In all participants, KITT(iv) was significantly correlated with the homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) values (r = −0.601, p<0.05) but not with KITT(sc) (p = 0.62). KITT(iv) was correlated positively with the serum adiponectin concentration, but negatively with the visceral fat area and serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α and branched-chain amino acids. In patients with T2DM, KITT(iv) and HOMA-IR values were significantly correlated with the total insulin dose required for glycemic control. Insulin resistance evaluated using KITT(iv) was correlated with the HOMA-IR values, but not with the resistance evaluated using KITT(sc). The degree of insulin resistance was associated with biomarkers, such as adiponectin, tumor necrosis factor-α, branched-chain amino acids, the visceral fat area, and the dose of insulin required for glycemic control.

Abstract

pdf, 本稿は、国立能楽堂の公演記録資料を事例に、どのように資料の目録編成を行うか、アーカイブズ学の視点からその方法論を考察したものである。 国立能楽堂がその業務や活動の過程で形成し、組織固有の必要のために保管してきた公演記録資料はアーカイブズ資源として捉えることができる。これらの公演記録資料に対して、ごく一部分の試験的な記述ではあるが、アーカイブズ学の方法論に則った編成記述を行った。具体的には、文書分類表を手がかりに組織機能の構造把握を行い、そこから資料群の背景を導き出した。次に、記録史料記述一般規則の国際標準であるISAD（G）の「マルチレベル記述規則」と「記述の要素」を基礎として編成記述を行った。この結果、利用者にとって必要なものは、資料群の構造認識に役立つアーカイブズ目録と、便利な検索機能を有した索引の両方であることが分かった。 日本芸術文化振興会が運営する既存のインターネットサイト「文化デジタルライブラリー」は、国立能楽堂の公演記録の検索手段として広く利用されているが、資料群の背景を理解するためのアーカイブズ目録の機能は備わっていない。しかし、内部でのこれまでの資料整理の成果を効果的に表現することで、国立能楽堂を取り巻く記憶や歴史が集積された劇場アーカイブズが構築できると考える。今後、そのような機能の備わったデジタルアーカイブに発展していくことが期待される。 The purpose of this paper is to arrange and describe the catalogue based on ISAD(G) to the performance record materials, owned by National Noh Theatre. The past records owned by the National Noh Theatre are a valuable archival resource. This arrange and describe was made in line with the methodology of archival science for performance record materials, owned by National Noh Theatre. This is experimental for a small portion. The first step was to analyze the functioning of the organization. By conducting this analysis, we were able to understand the background and characteristics of the archival materials. In the next process. The arrange and describe was made by applying the principles of ISAD(G). As a result, it turned out that in order to use the materials conveniently, not only an archives catalog but also an index database would be needed. The existing Internet site "Bunka Digital Library" is a very convenient and widely used means of searching for performance records of the National Noh Theatre. However, this Internet site is not equipped with a function for understanding the background and characteristics of the archival materials. In the future, it is hoped that this will develop into a digital archive for understanding the history of the National Noh Theatre.

Abstract

Background Although screening with 12-lead electrocardiography and transthoracic echocardiography for cardiac involvement has been recommended for patients with biopsy-proven extracardiac sarcoidosis, cardiac sarcoidosis has been reported even in patients with normal electrocardiography and echocardiography findings. We investigated the prevalence and characteristics of these patient cohorts. Methods We studied 112 consecutive patients (age, 55 +/- 17 years, 64% females) with biopsy-proven extracardiac sarcoidosis who had undergone F-28-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for cardiac sarcoidosis evaluation. The patients were categorised as those showing normal findings both in electrocardiography and transthoracic echocardiography (normal group) and those showing abnormal findings in one or both examinations (abnormal group). Results 33 (29%) and 79 (71%) patients were categorised into the normal and abnormal groups, respectively, of which 6 (18%) and 43 (54%) patients, respectively, were diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis (p<0.01). Of these six patients in the normal group, two with multiple-organ sarcoidosis showed clinical deterioration of cardiac involvement and required steroid therapy; three with small cardiac involvement showed natural remission over follow-up assessments; and one underwent steroid therapy and showed an improvement in the left ventricular ejection fraction to within normal limits. Conclusions The prevalence of cardiac sarcoidosis in patients with biopsy-proven extracardiac sarcoidosis and normal electrocardiography and transthoracic echocardiography findings was similar to 20%. Electrocardiography and transthoracic echocardiography may not detect cardiac sarcoidosis in patients without conduction and morphological abnormalities. However, some of these patients may subsequently show clinically manifested cardiac sarcoidosis. Physicians should be mindful of this population.

23. EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO CREATE DEMENTIA-FRIENDLY COMMUNITY MOVEMENTS IN JAPAN

Author

Suzuki, Naoko and Suzuki, Naoko

Abstract

As a nation where more than 28% of the total population is 65 years and over, Japan faces multiple ageing-related issues. Among these, dementia dominates the agenda due to its high societal costs. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the state of the current movement to create dementia-friendly communities across Japan, with a focus on the good practices of educational institutions, such as libraries, museums and lifelong learning centers. A case study approach was employed, which involved site visits and interviews with those charged with the development of educational projects to create dementia-friendly communities. The findings of this research suggest that some educational institutions have created dementia-friendly communities through utilizing their existing rich resources and providing approachable, convenient and holistic learning environments. However, current movements have tended to focus on assisting care givers and ordinary citizens through the provision of appropriate information and through opportunities for exchanging ideas and/or anxieties regarding dementia, and no careful attention has been paid to those living with dementia, whose viewpoints tend to be neglected in most current educational provision. Future research should focus on the ways in which different educational institutions can directly contribute to those living with dementia by hearing their voices and defining the meaning of learning for them; the minute process of transformation by deliberately observing the interaction between persons with dementia and others in such institutions through various methodologies; possibilities of learning for all stakeholders regarding persons with dementia, in order to provide more inclusive dementia-friendly communities. Overall, many opportunities still remain uncultivated and diverse individuals could be involved in this process so that the potential of each institution can be more fully developed in the light of current societal needs.
