    Abstract The effects of ethanol and caffeine exposure on zebrafish, Danio rerio, were investigated using a combination of measurements of behavioral and physiologic responses in a novel tank situation. Ventilation activity as a physiologic measure was measured remotely by monitoring ventilation-related bioelectric signals from freely moving zebrafish in the test tank. The directions of the behavioral responses, except for outer area preference, were substantially the same in both ethanol- and caffeine-treated fish and qualitatively indistinguishable, suggesting that relying solely on behavioral measures may lead to inappropriate interpretation of drug effects when depending on limited behavioral parameters. By incorporating ventilation activity-related physiologic measures into the quantification of drug effects in novel tank tests, more-accurate evaluations of differences in the effects of moderate doses of anxiolytic ethanol and anxiogenic caffeine were possible. Here, we propose that combining physiologic measures such as ventilation rate and its variability with behavioral measures makes it possible to characterize the effects of environmental challenges on zebrafish in a multi-dimensional and more-detailed manner.

    Abstract Bioelectric signals related to ventilatory movements in fish can be detected via externally located electrodes. In this study, a technique to continuously monitor the electric ventilatory signals in free-swimming zebrafish was developed. This technique was applied to monitoring ventilation activity as a physiological measure in conjunction with various behavioral measures in a novel tank environment. It was found that in addition to ventilation rate, time domain analysis of changes in ventilation rate is useful for evaluating the emotional state of zebrafish. By integrating the physiological and behavioral measures in analyses, a 1 h novel tank test trial revealed that the habituation process involves two phases. The first phase, which lasted 10 min, involved rapid attenuation of the initial fear/anxiety response to encountering a novel environment. The second phase lasted 20 min and involved further attenuation of anxiety and an increase in exploration behavior. These data suggest that combining ventilation-related physiological measures with conventional behavioral measures enables multidimensional examination of the habituation process in a novel tank environment with more precision than is possible when relying on behavioral responses alone.

    Abstract Background: Numerous epidemiological studies have shown that hypertriglyceridemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, large clinical studies on triglyceride-lowering therapy have yielded inconsistent results. In the current review, we reassess the importance of triglyceride-lowering therapy in preventing CVD based on previous literature and the recently published findings of the PROMINENT trial.
    Methods: This narrative review is based on literature and public documents published up to November 2023.
    Results: Meta-analyses of trials on peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α agonists and triglyceride-lowering therapy, including the PROMINENT trial, have indicated that triglyceride-lowering therapy can reduce CVD events. Mendelian randomization studies have also indicated that triglyceride is indeed a true risk factor for coronary artery disease, leaving no doubt about its relationship to CVD. Meanwhile, the negative results from the PROMINENT trial were likely due to the insufficient triglyceride-lowering effect, slight increases in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein B, and the inclusion of mostly high-intensity statin users as target patients. It is unlikely that adverse events counteracted the effectiveness of pemafibrate on outcomes. Additionally, pemafibrate has shown positive effects on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and peripheral artery disease.
    Conclusion: Although the PROMINENT trial did not demonstrate the significance of pemafibrate as a triglyceride-lowering therapy in a specific population, it does not necessarily negate the potential benefits of treating hypertriglyceridemia in reducing CVD events. It is necessary to explore appropriate populations that could benefit from this therapy, utilize data from the PROMINENT trial and other databases, and validate findings in real-world settings.

    Abstract Orthokeratology may be effective in slowing myopic progression. However, whether orthokeratology is beneficial enough to prevent rhegmatogenous retinal detachment formation remains unclear. Two cases of bilateral rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were seen during orthokeratology treatment and corrected with scleral buckling and cryopexy under general anesthesia. This is the first report of bilateral retinal detachment found during orthokeratology treatment. Although orthokeratology is effective for myopic correction and prevents axial length elongation, patients still have a risk of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment. Careful follow-up not only of the anterior segment but also of the peripheral retina is necessary.
