    Abstract For permanent secondary growth in plants, cell proliferation and differentiation should be strictly controlled in the vascular meristem consisting of (pro)cambial cells. A peptide hormone tracheary element differentiation inhibitory factor (TDIF) functions to inhibit xylem differentiation, while a plant hormone brassinosteroid (BR) promotes xylem differentiation in (pro)cambial cells. However, it remains unclear how TDIF and BR cooperate to regulate xylem differentiation for the proper maintenance of the vascular meristem. In this study, I developed an easy evaluation method for xylem differentiation frequency in a vascular induction system Vascular cell Induction culture System Using Arabidopsis Leaves (VISUAL) by utilizing a xylem-specific luciferase reporter line. In this quantitative system, TDIF suppressed and BR promoted xylem differentiation in a dose-dependent manner, respectively. Moreover, simultaneous treatment of TDIF and BR with (pro)cambial cells revealed that they can cancel their each other's effect on xylem differentiation, suggesting a competitive relationship between TDIF and BR. Thus, mutual inhibition of "ON" and "OFF" signal enables the fine-tuned regulation of xylem differentiation in the vascular meristem.

    Abstract Health literacy is defined as the ability to obtain, evaluate, and scrutinize health information and make appropriate decisions and actions. The spread of the Internet means that medical and drug information is becoming increasingly accessible to patients. However, there is also a large amount of inappropriate and biased medical- and drug-related information on the Internet. Therefore, patients require a high level of health literacy to ensure the effectiveness and safety of pharmacotherapy. In particular, outpatients need a high level of health literacy because they use their own medications without the supervision of healthcare professionals. In this article, I discuss the situation of health literacy and access to pharmaceutical information on the Internet in Japan. Furthermore, issues related to providing drug information to specific populations are explained using the example of chronic kidney disease. It is essential for all pharmaceutical information stakeholders to work together to solve these problems.

    Abstract Brassinosteroids (BRs) are plant steroid hormones that control growth and stress responses. In the context of development, BRs play diverse roles in controlling cell differentiation and tissue patterning. The vascular system, which is essential for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant body, initially establishes a tissue pattern during primary development and then dramatically increases the number of vascular cells during secondary development. This complex developmental process is properly regulated by a network consisting of various hormonal signalling pathways. Genetic studies have revealed that mutants defective in BR biosynthesis or the BR signalling cascade exhibit a multifaceted vascular development phenotype. Furthermore, BR crosstalk with other plant hormones, including peptide hormones, coordinately regulates vascular development. Recently, the involvement of BR in vascular development, especially in xylem differentiation, has also been suggested in plant species other than the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. In this review, we briefly summarize the recent findings on the roles of BR in primary and secondary vascular development in Arabidopsis and other species.

    Abstract Members of a plant-specific BES/BZR transcription factor (TF) family including BRI1-EMS-SUPPRESSOR 1 (BES1) and BRASSINAZOLE-RESISTANT 1 (BZR1) regulate various developmental processes and environmental responses. Recently, we reported that BES1/BZR1 Homolog 3 (BEH3) exhibited a competitive effect toward other BES/BZR TFs. In this study, we analyzed transcriptome profiles in BEH3-overexpressing plants and compared them with those of BES1 and BZR1 double gain-of-function mutants. We identified 46 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which were downregulated in the gain-of-function mutants of BES1 and BZR1 but upregulated upon BEH3 overexpression. In these DEGs, putative BES1 and BZR1 direct-targeted genes were highly enriched. In addition, these DEGs contained not only known brassinosteroid biosynthetic enzymes, but also some NAC TFs, which negatively regulate brassinosteroid-inactivating enzymes. Moreover, the iron sensor and the iron-deficient response-related bHLH TFs were also included. Taken together, our findings indicate that a competitive relationship between BEH3 and other BES/BZR TFs exists in various BES/BZR binding target genes.

    Abstract Plants generate various tissues and organs via a strictly regulated developmental program. The plant vasculature is a complex tissue system consisting of xylem and phloem tissues with a layer of cambial cells in between. Multiple regulatory steps are involved in vascular development. Although molecular and genetic studies have uncovered a variety of key factors controlling vascular development, studies of the actual functions of these factors have been limited due to the inaccessibility of the plant vasculature. Thus, to obtain a different perspective, culture systems have been widely used to analyze the sequential processes that occur during vascular development. A tissue culture system known as VISUAL, in which molecular genetic analysis can easily be performed, was recently established in Arabidopsis thaliana. This reconstitutive approach to vascular development enables this process to be investigated quickly and easily. In this review, I summarize our recent knowledge of the regulatory mechanisms underlying vascular development and provide future perspectives on vascular analyses that can be performed using VISUAL.

    Abstract Objective: To examine the structural validity of the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest) in individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA).
    Design: Methodological research on data gathered in a cross-sectional study. A Rasch analysis was conducted (partial credit model).
    Setting: Inpatients in a hospital rehabilitation setting.
    Participants: A pooled sample of patients with SCA (N=65 [total 110 data]; 23 women, 42 men; mean±SD age 63.1±9.9y).
    Interventions: Not applicable.
    Main outcome measures: We evaluated the Mini-BESTest's category structure, unidimensionality, and measurement accuracy (0: unable to perform or requiring help to 2: normal performance).
    Results: The Mini-BESTest rating scale fulfilled the category functioning criteria. The analysis of the standardized Rasch residuals showed the scale's unidimensionality, but there were 7 item pairs indicating local dependence. All of the items fit the underlying scale construct (dynamic balance), with the exception of item #1, "Sit to stand," which was an underfit. The Mini-BESTest demonstrated adequate reliability (person separation reliability=.87) and separated the patients into 5 strata. The item-difficulty measures ranged from -4.49 to 2.02 logits, and the person ability-item difficulty matching was very good (the mean of person ability=-.07 logits and the mean of item difficulty=.00). No floor or ceiling effects were detected. The keyform identified items with small (#11, "Walk with head turns, horizontal") and large (#3, "Stand on 1 leg") item thresholds.
    Conclusions: The Mini-BESTest has a unidimensional balance assessment scale with good category structure and reliability even for individuals with SCA. However, it also has some inherent shortcomings such as fit statistics, local item dependencies, and item thresholds. The results obtained when the Mini-BESTest is administered to patients with cerebellar ataxia should, thus, be interpreted cautiously.
