    Abstract Chordomas are rare, locally aggressive, primary bone tumors derived from primitive notochord remnants. They almost always arise within the axial skeleton, particularly in the skull base and the sacrococcygeal region. They usually present as extradural tumors, but rarely, they present as entirely intradural tumors. This report describes a case of intradural chordoma that mimicked an epidermoid cyst. A 72-year-old woman was incidentally found to have a prepontine extra-axial mass on magnetic resonance imaging. The mass gradually increased in size, and she felt discomfort in the right cheek area. The mass showed similar signal intensity to cerebrospinal fluid on T1-weighted images and T2-weighted images, but high signal intensity on fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images and diffusion-weighted images. Because the presence of very faint contrast enhancement was not noticed, the mass was preoperatively diagnosed as an epidermoid cyst. Tumor resection was performed, and the histopathological diagnosis was chondroid chordoma. Since intradural chordoma may resemble an epidermoid cyst on imaging, radiologists should check carefully for the presence of contrast enhancement and suggest the possibility of intradural chordoma.

    Abstract The centrosome is a major microtubule organizing center in animal cells. The position of the centrosomes inside the cell is important for cell functions such as cell cycle, and thus should be tightly regulated. Theoretical models based on the forces generated along the microtubules have been proposed to account for the dynamic movements of the centrosomes during the cell cycle. These models, however, often adopted inconsistent assumptions to explain distinct but successive movements, thus preventing a unified model for centrosome positioning. For the centration of the centrosomes, weak attachment of the astral microtubules to the cell cortex was assumed. In contrast, for the separation of the centrosomes during spindle elongation, strong attachment was assumed. Here, we mathematically analyzed these processes at steady state and found that the different assumptions are proper for each process. We experimentally validated our conclusion using nematode and sea urchin embryos by manipulating their shapes. Our results suggest the existence of a molecular mechanism that converts the cortical attachment from weak to strong during the transition from centrosome centration to spindle elongation.

    Abstract Objective: To determine the effectiveness of a web-based educational program regarding local healthcare planning by public health nurses (PHNs) in Japan.
    Design: A single-blind randomized controlled trial.
    Sample: Full-time PHNs working for local governments across Japan.
    Measurements: The primary outcome was nurses' self-perception of competencies in public health policy. The secondary outcome was self-perception of knowledge, skills, and perspectives regarding local healthcare planning. We analyzed intergroup differences using the intention-to-treat principle and the Mann-Whitney U-test.
    Intervention: The intervention group received six web-based learning modules including substantial knowledge and skills regarding local healthcare planning based on the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation model and adult learning theory.
    Results: Totally, 273 PHNs registered, and 38 were excluded without completing the baseline survey; 235 were randomly allocated to either the intervention (n = 118) or control (n = 117) groups. Sixty-four participants in the intervention group completed the program. Over 70% of the participants lacked opportunities to learn about local healthcare planning. The intervention group showed significant improvement in self-perception of competencies, knowledge, and skills regarding local healthcare planning, except for items related to evaluation.
    Conclusions: The web-based learning program effectively improved participants' self-perception of competencies in local healthcare planning.

    Abstract Dark-germinated angiosperm seedlings develop chloroplast precursors called etioplasts in cotyledon cells. Etioplasts develop lattice membrane structures called prolamellar bodies (PLBs), where the chlorophyll intermediate protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) forms a ternary complex with NADPH and light-dependent NADPH:Pchlide oxidoreductase (LPOR). The lipid bilayers of etioplast membranes are mainly composed of galactolipids, which play important roles in membrane-associated processes in etioplasts. Although etioplast membranes also contain 2 anionic lipids, phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol (SQDG), their roles are unknown. To determine the roles of PG and SQDG in etioplast development, we characterized etiolated Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants deficient in PG and SQDG biosynthesis. A partial deficiency in PG biosynthesis loosened the lattice structure of PLBs and impaired the insertion of Mg2+ into protoporphyrin IX, leading to a substantial decrease in Pchlide content. Although a complete lack of SQDG biosynthesis did not notably affect PLB formation and Pchlide biosynthesis, lack of SQDG in addition to partial PG deficiency strongly impaired these processes. These results suggested that PG is required for PLB formation and Pchlide biosynthesis, whereas SQDG plays an auxiliary role in these processes. Notably, PG deficiency and lack of SQDG oppositely affected the dynamics of LPOR complexes after photoconversion, suggesting different involvements of PG and SQDG in LPOR complex organization. Our data demonstrate pleiotropic roles of anionic lipids in etioplast development.

    Abstract Silicone breast implants are popularly used for breast reconstruction. As more patients receive long-term silicone breast implants, the number of replacement operations will also increase, and some patients prefer to change from silicone breast implantation to tertiary autologous reconstruction. We evaluated the safety of tertiary reconstruction and assessed patient views regarding the two reconstruction methods. We retrospectively analyzed patient backgrounds, surgical characteristics, and silicone breast implantation retention periods until tertiary reconstruction. We designed an original questionnaire to assess patient opinion regarding silicone breast implantation and tertiary reconstruction. Twenty-three patients (24 breasts) with decisive factors of patient-initiated elective surgery (n = 16), contralateral breast cancer occurrence (n = 5), or late-onset infection (n = 2) underwent tertiary reconstruction. The median time from silicone breast implantation to tertiary reconstruction was significantly shorter in patients with metachronous cancer (47 months) than that in those undergoing elective surgery (92 months). Complications included partial flap loss (n = 1), seroma (n = 6), hematoma (n = 5), and infection (n = 1). Total necrosis did not occur. Twenty-one patients responded to the questionnaire. The satisfaction score was significantly higher for abdominal flaps than for silicone breast implants. When presented with the option to select the initial reconstruction method again, 13 of 21 respondents chose silicone breast implantation. Tertiary reconstruction is beneficial because it reduces clinical symptoms and cosmetic complaints and is recommended as a bilateral reconstruction method, especially for patients with metachronous breast cancer. However, silicone breast implants, which are minimally invasive and associated with shorter hospital stays, were simultaneously found to be sufficiently attractive to patients.
