    Abstract This study examined the relationship between step characteristics and race time in a 5000-m race. Twenty-one male Japanese endurance runners performed a 5000-m race. Step length, step frequency, contact time, and flight time of two gait cycles (i.e., four consecutive ground contacts) were measured every 400-m by using high-speed video image. Moreover, step length was normalized to body height to minimize the effect of body size. In addition to step characteristics on each lap, the averages of all laps and the per cent change from the first half to the second half were calculated. The average step frequency and step length normalized to body height correlated significantly with the 5000-m race time (

    Abstract Many patients with immunoglobulin M (IgM) monoclonal gammopathy remain asymptomatic and, consequently, untreated; however, few studies have evaluated the clinical course and prognosis of these patients. Using the screening procedures at our hospital, 74 patients with IgM monoclonal gammopathy were selected. We excluded 11 patients in whom the treatment for lymphoid neoplasms had been initiated at the time of IgM monoclonal protein detection. The remaining 63 patients were considered to be the patient population with IgM MGUS and asymptomatic WM, and were analyzed. In these patients, the median overall survival was longer than 14 years. More than half of these patients died from causes other than lymphoid neoplasm. The cumulative incidence of lymphoid neoplasm requiring treatment was 17.5%. In five of eight patients requiring treatment for lymphoid neoplasms, the causes of death were related with these lymphoid neoplasms. Our study suggests that not all patients with IgM monoclonal gammopathy require uniform treatment for prolonged survival; however, most lymphoid neoplasms requiring treatment are refractory diseases. Our findings may help manage patients with macroglobulinemia.

    Abstract As DNA sequences of the intergenic spacer (IGS) region in the rRNA gene show remarkable intraspecies diversity compared with the small subunit, large subunit, and internal transcribed spacer region, the IGS region has been used as an epidemiological tool in studies on Malassezia globosa and M. restricta, which are responsible for the exacerbation of atopic dermatitis (AD) and seborrheic dermatitis (SD). However, the IGS regions of M. sympodialis and M. dermatis obtained from the skin of patients with AD and SD, as well as healthy subjects, lacked sequence diversity. Of the 105 M. sympodialis strains and the 40 M. dermatis strains, the sequences of 103 (98.1 %) and 39 (97.5 %), respectively, were identical. Thus, given the lack of intraspecies diversity in the IGS regions of M. sympodialis and M. dermatis, studies of the diversity of these species should be performed using appropriate genes and not the IGS.

    Abstract Three novel diterpenes, phomactins K–M (1–3), were isolated from the cultures of an unidentified marine-derived fungus. The structures of 1–3 were elucidated from spectroscopic data (NMR, MS, IR), and the absolute configurations of 1, 2, and the relative configuration of 3 were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

    Abstract A rapid, sensitive convenient method for determination of aflatoxin M₁ (AFM₁) in cheese and butter by HPLC was developed and validated. The method employs a safe extraction solution (mixture of acetonitrile, methanol and water) and an immunoaffinity column (IAC) for clean-up. Compared with the widely used method employing chloroform and a Florisil column, the IAC method has a short analytical time and there are no interference peaks. The limits of quantification (LOQ) of the IAC method were 0.12 and 0.14 µg/kg, while those of the Florisil column method were 0.47 and 0.23 µg/kg in cheese and buffer, respectively. The recovery and relative standard deviation (RSD) for cheese (spiked at 0.5 µg/kg) in the IAC method were 92% and 7%, respectively, while for the Florisil column method the corresponding values were 76% and 10%. The recovery and RSD for butter (spiked at 0.5 µg/kg) in the IAC method were 97% and 9%, and those in the Florisil method were 74% and 9%, respectively. In the IAC method, the values of in-house precision (n=2, day=5) of cheese and butter (spiked at 0.5 µg/kg) were 9% and 13%, respectively. The IAC method is superior to the Florisil column method in terms of safety, ease of handling, sensitivity and reliability. A survey of AFM₁ contamination in imported cheese and butter in Japan was conducted by the IAC method. AFM₁ was not detected in 60 samples of cheese and 30 samples of butter.

    Abstract Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins are one type of helical repeat protein that are widespread in eukaryotes. In particular, there are several hundred PPR members in flowering plants. The majority of PPR proteins are localized in the plastids and mitochondria, where they play a crucial role in various aspects of RNA metabolism at the post-transcriptional and translational steps during gene expression. Among the early land plants, the moss

    Abstract The moss Physcomitrium (Physcomitrella) patens performs efficient homologous recombination in both the nucleus and plastid enabling the study of individual gene function by generating precise inactivation or modification of genes. Polyethylene glycol (PEG)-mediated transformation of protoplasts is routinely used to study the nuclear gene function of P. patens. PEG-mediated protoplast transformation is also applied for plastid transformation of this moss. The efficiency of plastid transformation is quite reliable and one or two homoplasmic transplastomic lines are obtained in a plastid transformation experiment (5 × 10
