    Abstract In the realm of music information retrieval, similarity-based retrieval and auto-tagging serve as essential components. Similarity-based retrieval involves automatically analyzing a music track and fetching analogous tracks from a database. Auto-tagging, on the other hand, assesses a music track to deduce associated tags, such as genre and mood. Given the limitations and non-scalability of human supervision signals, it becomes crucial for models to learn from alternative sources to enhance their performance. Contrastive learning-based self-supervised learning, which exclusively relies on learning signals derived from music audio data, has demonstrated its efficacy in the context of auto-tagging. In this work, we propose a model that builds on the self-supervised learning approach to address the similarity-based retrieval challenge by introducing our method of metric learning with a self-supervised auxiliary loss. Furthermore, diverging from conventional self-supervised learning methodologies, we discovered the advantages of concurrently training the model with both self-supervision and supervision signals, without freezing pre-trained models. We also found that refraining from employing augmentation during the fine-tuning phase yields better results. Our experimental results confirm that the proposed methodology enhances retrieval and tagging performance metrics in two distinct scenarios: one where human-annotated tags are consistently available for all music tracks, and another where such tags are accessible only for a subset of music tracks.

    Abstract Aceruloplasminemia is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation due to the complete lack of ceruloplasmin ferroxidase activity caused by mutations in the ceruloplasmin gene. Redox-active iron accumulation was found to be more prominent in the astrocytes than in the neurons. The most characteristic findings were abnormal or deformed astrocytes and globular structures of astrocytes. The lack of ceruloplasmin may primarily damage astrocytes in the aceruloplasminemic brains as a result of lipid peroxidation due to massive iron deposition. In the normal brain, iron may be continuously recycled between astrocytes and neurons, with transferrin acting as a shuttle. The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked ceruloplasmin on astrocytes functions as a ferroxidase, mediating the oxidation of ferrous iron transported from the cytosol by ferroportin and its subsequent transfer to transferrin. In cases with aceruloplasminemia, neurons take up the iron from alternative sources of non-transferrin-bound iron, because astrocytes without GPI-linked ceruloplasmin cannot transport iron to transferrin. The excess iron in astrocytes could result in oxidative damage to these cells, and the neuronal cell protection offered by astrocytes would thus be disrupted. Neuronal cell loss may result from iron starvation in the early stage and from iron-mediated oxidation in the late stage. Ceruloplasmin may therefore play an essential role in neuronal survival in the central nervous system.

    Abstract Fetal and infant brains are rich in maternally derived taurine. We previously demonstrated that taurine action regulates the cation-chloride cotransporter activity and the differentiation and radial migration of pyramidal neuron progenitors in the developing neocortex of rodent fetuses. Here we examined the effects of fetal and infantile taurine depletion caused by knockout of the taurine transporter Slc6a6 on firing properties of layer II/III pyramidal neurons in the mouse somatosensory cortex at 3 weeks of postnatal age, using the whole-cell patch-clamp technique. The membrane excitability under resting conditions was similar between the neurons in knockout mice and those in wildtype littermates. However, the frequency of repetitive spike firing during moderate current injection was significantly lower, along with lower membrane voltage levels during interspike intervals in knockout neurons. When strong currents were injected, by which repetitive firing was rapidly abolished due to inactivation of voltage-gated Na

    Abstract Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) is a surgically treatable syndrome commonly observed in older adults. However, it is unclear whether clinical improvements after surgery can effectively reduce the long-term care burden (LTCB). In this study, we determined whether shunt surgery was effective in decreasing LTCB. We also investigated the degree of variability in patients and hospitals, using data from the iNPH multicenter study. This study involved 69 participants who underwent lumboperitoneal shunt surgery with follow-up for 12 months. A generalized linear mixed model was applied to analyze the fixed and random effects simultaneously. Regarding LTCB, the disability grades improved significantly. Although the dementia grades also improved, it was not statistically significant. The differences in the LTCB grades in most patients were within the range of the 95% confidence intervals, while in the case of hospitals, some were often out of the range. Further studies are needed to improve dementia in patients with iNPH. The incorporation of random variables, such as hospitals, is important for the analysis of data from multicenter studies.

    Abstract Background and aims: The clinical introduction of hepcidin25 (Hep25) has led to a more detailed understanding of its relationship with ferroportin (FP) and divalent metal transporter1 in primary iron overload syndromes (PIOSs). In 2012, we proposed a classification of PIOSs based on the Hep25/FP system, which consists of prehepatic aceruloplasminemia, hepatic hemochromatosis (HC), and posthepatic FP disease (FP-D). However, in consideration of accumulated evidence on PIOSs, we aimed to renew the classification.
    Methods: We reviewed the 2012 classification and retrospectively renewed it according to new information on PIOSs.
    Results: Iron-loading anemia was included in PIOSs as a prehepatic form because of the newly discovered erythroferrone-induced suppression of Hep25, and the state of traditional FP-D was remodeled as the BIOIRON proposal. The key molecules responsible for prehepatic PIOSs are low transferrin saturation in aceruloplasminemia and increased erythroferrone production by erythroblasts in iron-loading anemia. Hepatic PIOSs comprise four genotypes of HC, in each of which the synthesis of Hep25 is inappropriately reduced in the liver. Hepatic Hep25 synthesis is adequate in posthepatic PIOSs; however, two mutant FP molecules may resist Hep25 differently, resulting in SLC40A1-HC and FP-D, respectively. PIOS phenotypes are diagnosed using laboratory tests, including circulating Hep25, followed by suitable treatments. Direct sequencing of the candidate genes may be outsourced to gene centers when needed. Laboratory kits for the prevalent mutations, such as C282Y, may be the first choice for a genetic analysis of HC in Caucasians.
    Conclusions: The revised classification may be useful worldwide.
