    Abstract In the long history of microorganism use, yeasts have been developed as hosts for producing biologically active compounds or for conventional fermentation. Since the introduction of genetic engineering, recombinant proteins have been designed and produced using yeast or bacterial cells. Yeasts have the unique property of expressing genes derived from both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

    Abstract To achieve sustainable development, alternative resources should replace conventional resources such as fossil fuels. In marine ecosystems, many macroalgae grow faster than terrestrial plants. Macroalgae are roughly classified as green, red, or brown algae based on their photosynthetic pigments. Brown algae are considered to be a source of physiologically active substances such as polyphenols. Furthermore, some macroalgae can capture approximately 10 times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than terrestrial plants. Therefore, they have immense potential for use in the environment. Recently, macroalgae have emerged as a biomass feedstock for bioethanol production owing to their low lignin content and applicability to biorefinery processes. Herein, we provided an overview of the bioconversion of macroalgae into bioactive substances and biofuels using microbial biotechnology, including engineered yeast designed using molecular display technology.

    Abstract In the long history of microorganism use, yeasts have been developed as hosts for producing biologically active compounds or for conventional fermentation. Since the introduction of genetic engineering, recombinant proteins have been designed and produced using yeast or bacterial cells. Yeasts have the unique property of expressing genes derived from both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the well-studied yeasts in genetic engineering. Recently, molecular display technology, which involves a protein-producing system on the yeast cell surface, has been established. Using this technology, designed proteins can be displayed on the cell surface, and novel abilities are endowed to the host yeast strain. This review summarizes various molecular yeast display technologies and their principles and applications. Moreover, S. cerevisiae laboratory strains generated using molecular display technology for sustainable development are described. Each application of a molecular displayed yeast cell is also associated with the corresponding Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.

    Abstract Robotic-assisted surgery enables precise manipulations with magnified vision, stereoscopic vision, and forceps with multi-joint functions. It requires unique procedures such as position setting, port placement, roll-in, and docking, which lead to prolonged operation and anesthesia time. Five conditions described below were established at our institution to reduce the time to the initiation of console: (1) changing the patients' position from the flat lithotomy position to the spread legs position; (2) attaching a Hasson cone to hold the umbilical cannula stable; (3) changing the cannula's obturator (inner tube) from blunt to bladeless; (4) fixing the team, and (5) conducting regular docking training. These outcomes were examined in this study. The study included 77 patients who underwent robotic-assisted total hysterectomy for benign uterine disease and stage IA uterine cancer at our individual institution between April 2019 and July 2022. We compared the median time from anesthesia to console initiation between the first half group (cases 1-40) and the second half group (cases 41-77). The former required 91.5 (53-131) minutes, whereas the latter required 59 (37-126) minutes. Appropriate equipment selection and team education can reduce the time to console initiation.

    Abstract Aim: Sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin (DAPA) reduced albuminuria and slowed down the decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the DAPA-CKD trial. However, proteinuria (albuminuria) does not necessarily decrease in all patients in real-world clinical settings. Therefore, we aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of patients with CKD and decreased proteinuria in response to DAPA treatment.
    Methods: Of 106 patients with CKD, 54 patients were finally included who received 10 mg of DAPA once daily. Patients whose urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) decreased by >30% or ≤30% from baseline after 1 month of treatment were defined as responders and non-responders, respectively.
    Results: At baseline, median eGFR and UPCR were 45.3 mL/min/1.73 m
    Conclusion: The percent changes in UPCR were positively associated with the initial decline rate in eGFR in patients with CKD with a UPCR ≥0.5 g/gCr at baseline after 1 month of DAPA treatment.

    Abstract Background: Segmental arterial mediolysis (SAM) is a condition in which an aneurysm is formed by causing lysis of the media and remodeling of blood vessels. Short-term recurrence has been reported in abdominal aortic aneurysms. Cerebral aneurysms have been suggested to form in a short period not only in the abdominal cavity but also in the intracranial arteries in SAM.
    Case description: A 36-year-old pregnant woman at 35 weeks' gestation developed sudden headache and disorientation. Head magnetic resonance imaging showed a small amount of subarachnoid hemorrhage in the right ambient cistern. A fusiform cerebral aneurysm was found in the periphery of the right superior cerebellar artery, and small saccular aneurysms were found in the periphery of the right posterior cerebral artery and left posterior inferior cerebral artery. After delivery of the fetus, endovascular embolization of the ruptured aneurysm was performed. However, 10-week postoperatively, she developed sudden headache. Hemorrhage was found in the fourth ventricle, and enlargement of the left posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) peripheral aneurysm and disappearance of the right posterior cerebral artery peripheral aneurysm were confirmed. A ruptured aneurysm in the peripheral left PICA was removed after trapping. Intraoperatively, an unruptured thrombosed aneurysm that was not visualized by imaging was also removed. Histopathological examination showed no calcification or inflammation, rupture of the internal elastic lamina, and lack of segmentation, and SAM was diagnosed.
    Conclusion: In atypical dissecting aneurysms, SAM should be considered as a differential diagnosis. Systemic examination and short-term follow-up are also necessary.
