    Abstract Protein S deficiency causes spinal cord infarction in rare cases. We herein report the first case of severe cervicothoracic cord infarction in an adolescent with protein S deficiency. A 16-year-old boy presented with neck pain, four-limb paralysis, and numbness. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed spinal artery infarction in the C4 to Th4 area. Protein S antigen and activity were decreased. The patient was diagnosed with protein S deficiency-associated cervicothoracic cord infarction, which was treated with anticoagulation. Protein S deficiency should be considered as a potential cause of spinal cord infarction in young healthy patients and should be appropriately treated with anticoagulation.

    Abstract Objectives: We investigated sex differences in the associations between dairy consumption and the physical function among community-dwelling older adults.
    Methods: Six hundred and fifty-six older adults (75.6 ± 6.4 years old) participated in this study. Dairy consumption (5-item Likert score) and the physical function (gait speed, handgrip strength, and skeletal muscle mass) were measured. The linear and quadratic associations between dairy consumption and the physical function measures were examined by a multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for covariates.
    Results: Among women, an increased dairy consumption was significantly linearly associated with greater hand-grip strength and faster gait speed (both p<0.05) after adjusting for covariates. Among men, dairy consumption was not associated with the physical function measures. Dairy consumption was not associated with the muscle mass in either sex.
    Conclusions: Increased dairy consumption was associated with a superior physical function in older women.

    Abstract Objective: Although masticatory performance is affected by age-related reduction in number of teeth (or treatment), the relationship between longitudinal changes in masticatory performance and diabetes mellitus is unknown. This longitudinal study investigated the association between changes in masticatory performance and new-onset diabetes mellitus among community-dwelling Japanese older adults.
    Methods: The data of 214 older adults living in Ohnan Town, Shimane, Japan, who participated in two surveys conducted between 2012 and 2017 were analyzed. Diabetes mellitus was defined as a hemoglobin A1c level ≥ 6.5% or self-reported diabetes mellitus. The masticatory performance (measured by number of gummy jelly pieces collected after chewing) was evaluated by dental hygienists. Masticatory performance was categorized into two groups (high or low) based on the median in each survey; further, four groups (Group A: remained consistently high, Group B: changed from low to high, Group C: remained consistently low, Group D: changed from high to low) were used to determine longitudinal changes in masticatory performance. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between changes in masticatory performance and new-onset diabetes mellitus.
    Results: Overall, 10.3% of participants had diabetes mellitus at the follow-up survey. Multivariate analysis showed that Group D (odds ratio 8.69, 95% confidence interval 1.98-38.22) was positively associated with the development of diabetes mellitus compared with Group A after adjusting for sex, age, body mass index, alcohol consumption, physical activity, and eating speed.
    Conclusions: Deteriorating masticatory performance for 5 years may cause diabetes mellitus among older adults.

    Abstract To date, various immobilized chiral stationary phases (CSPs) have been developed. The immobilized CSPs have opened up possibilities not only maintaining the high chiral recognition abilities as well as corresponding coated ones but also affording high durability to various mobile phase. This report directed to investigate enantioseparation of recently launched four immobilized CSPs with cellulose and amylose backbones under normal phase liquid chromatography conditions. Their chiral recognition abilities were compared with previously developed six immobilized CSPs. Particularly, we focused on the complementarity for chiral recognitions. Among them, amylose tris(3-chloro-5-methylphenylcarbamate) CSP, namely, CHIRALPAK IG, showed notable chiral recognition abilities to various racemates. As expected, the investigated immobilized CSPs represented remarkable durability to wide range of mobile phases, whereas the corresponding coated CSPs could not be run due to the irreversible degradation. Taking advantage of unrestricted solvent compatibility, chiral separation selectivities were improved for some racemates.

    Abstract Aim: To detect immune-related adverse events (irAEs) early and treat them appropriately, our institute established an irAE-focused multidisciplinary toxicity team in cooperation with various departments. This study aimed to evaluate a consultation system involving a team of hepatologists in terms of its utility for the management of severe immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-induced liver toxicity.
    Methods: To analyze the diagnosis and treatment of severe ICI-induced liver toxicity (Grade 2 requiring corticosteroid therapy and Grade 3 or higher), we examined patients' clinical courses before and after the hepatologist consultation system was established (pre-period, September 2014 to February 2019; post-period, March 2019 to March 2023).
    Results: The median follow-up period was 392 days. Of the 1247 patients with advanced malignancies treated with ICIs, 66 developed severe ICI-induced liver toxicity (n = 22 and 44 in the pre- and post-periods, respectively). In the pre-period, hepatologist consultations were sought for 15/22 patients, whereas in the post-period, 42/44 patients were referred to and treated by hepatologists. The time from the onset of liver toxicity to the consultation was significantly shorter in the post-period than in the pre-period (mean 1.9 vs. 6.5 days, respectively; p = 0.012). The number of patients with a biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of ICI-induced liver toxicity was significantly higher in the post-period than in the pre-period (n = 22 vs. n = 3, respectively; p = 0.006). Finally, there were no cases of immune-related cholangitis in the pre-period, compared to five cases in the post-period.
    Conclusion: A hepatologist consultation system in an irAE-focused multidisciplinary toxicity team is useful for managing severe ICI-induced liver toxicity.

    Abstract Background: Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is one of the neuromodulation therapies for chronic neuropathic pain. The conventional paresthesia-based SCS involves the application of tonic stimulation that induces a sense of paresthesia. Recently, new SCS stimulation patterns without paresthesia have been developed. Differential target multiplexed (DTM) stimulation and fast-acting subperception therapy (FAST) stimulation are the latest paresthesia-free SCS patterns.
    Methods: A single-center, open-label, crossover, randomized clinical trial to investigate the superiority of SCS using the latest new stimulation patterns over conventional tonic stimulation for neuropathic pain is planned. This study consists of two steps: SCS trial (first step) and SCS system implantation (second step). In the SCS trial, participants will be randomly assigned to 4 groups receiving stimulation, including tonic, DTM, and FAST. Each stimulation will then be performed for 2 days, and a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain will be evaluated before and after each stimulation pattern. A stimulation-off period for 1 day is set between each stimulation pattern to wash out the residual previous stimulation effects. Pain improvement is defined as more than 33% reduction in the pain VAS. The primary analysis will compare pain improvement between the new stimulation patterns and the conventional tonic stimulation pattern in the SCS trial. The secondary outcomes will be evaluated as follows: (1) the relationships between causative disease and improvement rate by each stimulation pattern; (2) comparison of pain improvement between the DTM and FAST stimulation patterns in all cases and by causative disease; (3) changes in assessment items preoperatively to 24 months after the implantation; (4) preoperative factors associated with long-term effects defined as continuing for more than 12 months; and (5) adverse events related to this study 3 months after the implantation.
    Discussion: This study aims to clarify the effectiveness of the latest new stimulation patterns compared to the conventional tonic stimulation. In addition, which stimulation pattern is most effective for which kind of causative disease will be clarified.
