    Abstract Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with core-shell structures enable to enhance intrinsic properties of constituent MOFs and impart additional functional activities. Although shell thickness is a key factor for regulating the properties of core-shell MOF particles, controlling it has been challenging. The widely used batch reactor synthesis cannot produce core-shell particles with uniform shell thickness because of poor reactant mixing. A microreactor could ensure excellent mixing, and that would allow to control shell thickness. In this study, we synthesized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)@ZIF-67 and ZIF-67@ZIF-8 core-shell particles using a microreactor and investigated the effects of the mixing performance on the shell thickness of the obtained particles. Our results demonstrated that rapid mixing was critical for the uniformity of the synthesized particles. The concentration of core particles is another key factor that can preferentially induce heterogeneous nucleation on the surface of the core particles without inducing self-nucleation in the bulk solution, particularly when the self-nucleation rate of the shell MOF is high.

    Abstract Introduction: Treatment guidelines for colorectal cancer (CRC) suggest 2 classifications for histological differentiation-highest grade and predominant. However, the optimal predictor of lymph node metastasis (LNM) in T1 CRC remains unknown. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the impact of the use of highest-grade or predominant differentiation on LNM determination in T1 CRC.
    Methods: The study protocol is registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO, registration number: CRD42023416971) and was published in OSF ( https://osf.io/TMAUN/ ) on April 13, 2023. We searched 5 electronic databases for studies assessing the diagnostic accuracy of highest-grade or predominant differentiation to determine LNM in T1 CRC. The outcomes were sensitivity and specificity. We simulated 100 cases with T1 CRC, with an LNM incidence of 11.2%, to calculate the differences in false positives and negatives between the highest-grade and predominant differentiations using a bootstrap method.
    Results: In 42 studies involving 41,290 patients, the differentiation classification had a pooled sensitivity of 0.18 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.13-0.24) and 0.06 (95% CI 0.04-0.09) ( P < 0.0001) and specificity of 0.95 (95% CI 0.93-0.96) and 0.98 (95% CI 0.97-0.99) ( P < 0.0001) for the highest-grade and predominant differentiations, respectively. In the simulation, the differences in false positives and negatives between the highest-grade and predominant differentiations were 3.0% (range 1.6-4.4) and -1.3% (range -2.0 to -0.7), respectively.
    Discussion: Highest-grade differentiation may reduce the risk of misclassifying cases with LNM as negative, whereas predominant differentiation may prevent unnecessary surgeries. Further studies should examine differentiation classification using other predictive factors.

    Abstract Introduction Migraine and tension-type headache (TTH) are chronic diseases associated with significant socioeconomic losses and social and psychological impact (current global prevalence: 10% and 38%, respectively). Thus, they require accurate identification and classification. In clinical practice, validated screening tools able to quickly determine migraine and TTH with high sensitivity and specificity help provide an objective and multifaceted understanding of patients' headache symptoms. However, no tool has been developed or validated yet in Japan to ask multifaceted questions about headache-related symptoms in order to identify migraine and TTH and understand these symptoms. This study aimed to develop a questionnaire for screening TTH and migraine. Methods The study was conducted from March to June 2022 at a medical institution in Osaka, Japan. The questionnaire - comprising 24 questions that were generated based on the 3rd edition of the International Classification of Headache Disorders - was used to screen for migraine and TTH, aiming for a deeper understanding of related symptoms. The participants were patients aged ≥18 years with at least one of the following diagnoses: migraine, TTH. The participants were asked to respond in writing or online. The inclusion criteria were age ≥18 years; headache patients attending a hospital; and diagnoses of at least one of the following: migraine, TTH. The informativeness and discriminating ability of the screening items were evaluated using the item response theory. Items with a calculated discrimination ≥1.35 (high or very high) were retained for screening purposes. Basic questions required to screen for primary headaches were retained, despite their limited computational discrimination power. Ultimately, nine and eight screening items were finalized for migraine and TTH, respectively. The previous neurologists' clinical diagnosis of each patient was used as the gold standard reference for calculating sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values regarding the screening items. Cohen's kappa coefficients with 95% CIs were also calculated to determine the agreement between the neurologists' clinical diagnosis and the questionnaire results. Results The study population comprised 69 patients aged 19-89 years who were assisted at a hospital division specializing in headache medicine and diagnosed by neurologists. Of these, 22 patients had migraine, 30 had TTH, and 17 had migraine/TTH. Comparing the neurologists' clinical diagnosis with our screening questionnaire results, the sensitivity and specificity were 72.7% and 86.7% for migraine and 50.0% and 86.4% for TTH, respectively. Conclusions Our brief screening tool was highly specific for diagnosing migraine and TTH in individuals with headache symptoms but lacked sufficient sensitivity, especially for TTH. The high specificity for migraine and TTH suggests that the screening tool we developed in this study can correctly identify those who do not have migraine and TTH. The sensitivity was also relatively high for migraine, suggesting that the tool can correctly identify migraine-positive individuals. However, the sensitivity for TTH was low. This tool could help clinicians in providing detailed course assessment of migraine symptoms and TTH symptoms; however, the issue of low sensitivity for TTH needs to be addressed.

    Abstract Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with core–shell structures enable to enhance intrinsic properties of constituent MOFs and impart additional functional activities. Although shell thickness is a key factor for regulating the properties of core–shell MOF particles, controlling it has been challenging. The widely used batch reactor synthesis cannot produce core–shell particles with uniform shell thickness because of poor reactant mixing. A microreactor could ensure excellent mixing, and that would allow to control shell thickness. In this study, we synthesized zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8)@ZIF-67 and ZIF-67@ZIF-8 core–shell particles using a microreactor and investigated the effects of the mixing performance on the shell thickness of the obtained particles. Our results demonstrated that rapid mixing was critical for the uniformity of the synthesized particles. The concentration of core particles is another key factor that can preferentially induce heterogeneous nucleation on the surface of the core particles without inducing self-nucleation in the bulk solution, particularly when the self-nucleation rate of the shell MOF is high. The N₂ adsorption isotherms of the synthesized particles revealed their unique adsorption properties, which were ascribed to the core–shell structures obtained at low shell formation rates. Our simple and versatile synthesis technique not only allowed the preparation of ZIF@ZIF particles with novel functionalities but also can be extended to synthesize core–shell MOF particles with different combinations of core particles and shells.

    Abstract Adolescent cannabis use increases the risk for cognitive impairments and psychiatric disorders. Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (Cnr1) is expressed not only in neurons and astrocytes, but also in microglia, which shape synaptic connections during adolescence. Nonetheless, until now, the role of microglia in mediating the adverse cognitive effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis, has been unexplored. Here, we report that adolescent THC exposure produces microglial apoptosis in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), which was exacerbated in the mouse model of 16p11.2 duplication, a representative copy number variation (CNV) risk factor for psychiatric disorders. These effects are mediated by microglial Cnr1, leading to reduction in the excitability of mPFC pyramidal-tract neurons and deficits in social memory in adulthood. Our findings highlight the importance of microglial Cnr1 to produce the adverse effect of cannabis exposure in genetically vulnerable individuals.

    Abstract We herein report a 27-year-old woman who presented with recurrent knee pain. Laboratory findings revealed minimal inflammation. Arthrography revealed structures resembling adipose tissues. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a high signal intensity of these structures, leading to the diagnosis of lipoma arborescens (LA). Synovectomy was performed. Pathology revealed adipocyte proliferation and B-cell clusters but no T-cell infiltration. A serum cytokine analysis revealed low levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α compared with patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The pathogenesis of LA remains unclear, but immunostaining and serum cytokine levels may provide valuable data for future investigations.
