    Abstract The metabolic syndrome (MetS) or insulin resistance syndrome is a constellation of obesity-related metabolic derangements predisposing to type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In 1998, WHO defined the first criteria of MetS. Three years later, the user-friendly National Cholesterol Education Program criteria of MetS were proposed. Different criteria were issued by the International Diabetes Federation in 2005, making abdominal obesity a necessary component. Several international societies, including The International Diabetes Federation, jointly adopted the revised National Cholesterol Education Program criteria as harmonizing criteria of MetS in 2009. WHO warned the next year that MetS has limited practical utility as a management tool. Adipose tissue inflammation has been shown to be a fundamental mechanism of metabolic derangements, associated with ectopic lipid deposit and mitochondrial dysfunction in skeletal muscle and the liver.

    Abstract Blackberries are abundant in substances that have antioxidative and other effects, and technologies for enhancing the effectiveness of their incorporation into the body are being developed. The effectiveness of such substances has been investigated in various models, including rodent ischemia models. While a test substance can be administered either before or after an event, healthy foods are generally pre-administered prophylactically in experiments. Pre-administration may have the potential to elevate the blood concentration of the active substance sufficiently prior to the event and/or induce adaptive changes in the ischemic tolerance of the recipient through long-term pre-administration. Based on the recently reported 2-week pre-administration of blackberries in a rat model, we investigated the pre-administration of blackberry extracts in a hyperlipidemia model using Mongolian gerbils. We then discussed the effects of the pre-administration on the treated animals before an ischemic event.

    Abstract One of the members of CYP, a monooxygenase, CYP2A13 is involved in the metabolism of nicotine, coumarin, and tobacco-specific nitrosamine. Genetic polymorphisms have been identified in CYP2A13, with reported loss or reduction in enzymatic activity in CYP2A13 allelic variants. This study aimed to unravel the mechanism underlying the diminished enzymatic activity of CYP2A13 variants by investigating their three-dimensional structures through molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. For each variant, MD simulations of 1000 ns were performed, and the obtained results were compared with those of the wild type. The findings indicated alterations in the interaction with heme in CYP2A13.4, .6, .8, and .9. In the case of CYP2A13.5, observable effects on the helix structure related to the interaction with the redox partner were identified. These conformational changes were sufficient to cause a decrease in enzyme activity in the variants. Our findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms associated with the diminished activity in the CYP2A13 polymorphisms.

    Abstract Aims: To compare correlations between changes in cardiovascular risk factors and those in obesity indices and to compare associations with incident hyper-LDL cholesterolemia among obesity indices.
    Methods: Correlation coefficients were calculated between 7-year changes in cardiovascular risk factors and those in body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and percent body fat (PBF) in 634 men and 396 women who used no antihypertensive, antidiabetic or antihyperlipidemic drugs. Odds ratios of incident hyper-LDL cholesterolemia after 7 years were calculated for BMI, WC and PBF in 738 men and 388 women.
    Results: There were no significant differences in the correlations with 7-year changes in cardiovascular risk factors between 7-year changes in BMI and WC. The correlation with 7-year change in LDL cholesterol was stronger for that in PBF than that in BMI or WC (p=0.021 or 0.089, respectively in men and 0.022 or 0.020, respectively in women). The correlations with 7-year changes in log triglycerides, HDL cholesterol and log high-sensitivity CRP were stronger for those in BMI and WC than that in PBF in men. Incident hyper-LDL cholesterolemia after 7 years was significantly associated with PBF, but not BMI or WC, in men after adjusted for age and other covariates. However, the association was not significant after further adjusted for LDL cholesterol.
    Conclusions: The correlation with 7-year change in LDL cholesterol was stronger for that in PBF than that in BMI or WC. Incident hyper-LDL cholesterolemia was significantly associated with PBF, but not with BMI or WC, in men.

    Abstract Objectives: Longitudinal associations between total bilirubin (TB) and prediabetes have not been reported. This study investigated cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between TB and prediabetes.
    Methods: Cross-sectional associations between TB and prediabetes were investigated in 3681 nondiabetic subjects. Longitudinal associations between TB and prediabetes over 6 years were investigated in 2149 subjects who were normoglycemic at baseline. Prediabetes was defined as fasting plasma glucose (FPG) levels of ≥5.6 mmol/L or glycated hemoglobin levels of ≥5.7% excluding diabetes.
    Results: The prevalence of prediabetes was 25.4%, and the cumulative incidence of prediabetes during 6 years was 25.5% in a Japanese health screening population. Prevalent prediabetes was significantly associated with the quintiles of TB in nonsmoking men (trend, p<0.001) and women (trend, p=0.012), but not in smoking men (trend, p=0.689). Incident prediabetes was not significantly associated with the quintiles of TB, while it was positively associated with 1 standard deviation increase in TB in nonsmoking men (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]; 1.21 [1.07 to 1.37], p=0.002).
    Conclusions: TB levels were significantly inversely associated with prevalent prediabetes in nonsmokers, but not in smokers, whereas an inverse association between TB levels and incident prediabetes seemed to be unlikely.

    Abstract Objectives: There have been few studies regarding the relationship between respiratory function and incident diabetes in East Asian populations in whom obesity is not prevalent.
    Methods: This is a 6-year follow-up study in a Japanese health-screening population that included 1874 men and 1093 women. Using Cox regression models, hazard ratios (HRs) of incident diabetes for percent vital capacity (%VC) and forced expiratory volume in 1 second divided by forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) were calculated. Diabetes was defined as simultaneous fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ≥7.0 mmol/L and glycated hemoglobin (A1C) ≥6.5% or use of antidiabetic medications.
    Results: During the 6-year follow-up period (mean of 4.8 years), 71 men (3.8%) and 18 women (1.7%) developed diabetes. The HRs (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) of incident diabetes for each 1 SD increase in %VC and the lowest tertile of %VC compared with the highest tertile were 0.81 (0.66 to 1.00) (p=0.045) and 1.78 (1.01 to 3.16) (p=0.048), respectively, adjusted for sex, age, body mass index, antihypertensive drug use and A1C levels. After further adjustment for log high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, the HRs (95% CI) of incident diabetes for each 1 SD increase in %VC and the lowest tertile of %VC were 0.82 (0.67 to 1.01) (p=0.063) and 1.69 (0.95 to 3.01) (p=0.073), respectively. The association between FEV1/FVC and incident diabetes was not significant.
    Conclusions: %VC, but not FEV1/FVC, was significantly associated with incident diabetes in a Japanese health-screening population in whom obesity was not prevalent.

    Abstract Tracheomediastinal fistula is a rare but life-threatening complication of cancer. We report a case of tracheomediastinal fistula induced by concurrent chemoradiotherapy in limited stage small cell lung cancer. Despite the treatment response, the metastatic paratracheal lymph node increased gradually during concurrent chemoradiotherapy, resulting in the occurrence of tracheomediastinal fistula and mediastinitis. Without any surgical intervention, the patient achieved successful recovery from mediastinitis through antibiotic treatment, although the tracheomediastinal fistula remained open. In this report, we also review previous studies of tracheomediastinal and bronchomediastinal fistulas and summarize the clinical features.
