    Abstract Purpose: The optimal surgical procedure for distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction (DGRY) remains to be determined. Recently, a self-report assessment instrument, the Postgastrectomy Syndrome Assessment Scale-45 (PGSAS-45), was compiled to evaluate symptoms, the living status and the quality of life of patients who have undergone gastrectomy. We used this scale to evaluate procedures used for DGRY.
    Methods: The subjects included 475 patients who underwent DGRY for stage IA/IB gastric cancer. We evaluated whether the size of the remnant stomach, length of the Roux limb, reconstruction route and anastomotic procedure affected the patients' symptoms, living status and quality of life assessed using the PGSAS-45.
    Results: Patients with a residual stomach of more than half had significantly worse esophageal reflux scores than the patients with a smaller residual stomach (P = 0.0462); a residual stomach of one-third or one-fourth was favorable. A shorter length of the Roux limb was shown to be preferable to a longer Roux limb based on the results of the PGSAS-45. In addition, antecolic reconstruction and the anastomotic procedure using a linear stapler were found to be more favorable.
    Conclusions: The size of the remnant stomach and the length and route of the Roux limb significantly influence the patient-reported DGRY outcomes.

    Abstract Aims: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino acid peptide that is widely distributed in the brain, adrenal medulla, and sympathetic nervous system. Several lines of evidence suggest a possible involvement of the NPY system in the physiological effects of several classes of abused substances including alcohol, phencyclidine, cocaine, and marijuana and in endogenous psychosis. Accordingly, it was hypothesized that the NPY system may also be involved in methamphetamine dependence or psychosis.
    Methods: The single nucleotide polymorphisms rs16147 of the NPY gene (-485C>T) and rs7687423 of the NPY receptor Y1 (NPY1R) gene were analyzed in 222 patients with methamphetamine dependence and psychosis and 288 age- and gender-matched controls.
    Results: Genotypic distribution of the NPY1R gene showed a significant association with methamphetamine dependence and psychosis (P = 0.04), whereas the NPY gene had no significant association with them.
    Conclusion: It is possible that genetic variants of the NPY1R gene affect the NPY-NPY receptor type Y1 signaling system in the brain, which may result in susceptibility to methamphetamine dependence or the development of methamphetamine psychosis, but the present findings need to be confirmed on replication.

    Abstract Purpose: We report a duodenal stump reinforcement procedure in laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 223 patients who underwent laparoscopic distal gastrectomy with Roux-en-Y reconstruction for gastric cancer. We compared 2 groups: group NR (not reinforced, n=102, June 2009 to December 2011) when we did not perform reinforcement of the duodenal stump, and group R (reinforced, n=121, January 2012 to July 2014) when we did the reinforcement. The duodenum was divided with an endoscopic linear stapler. In group R, the duodenal staple line was reinforced by hand-sewn Lembert's sutures.
    Results: There were no significant differences between group NR and R in patients' characteristics. Duodenal stump leakage occurred in 2 patients in group NR (2.0%). By contrast, in R group, no patients had duodenal stump leakage or fistula.
    Conclusions: Duodenal stump leakage can be avoided by using reinforcement with Lembert's sutures.

    Abstract Genetic mutations, mRNA processing errors, and lack of availability of charged tRNAs sometimes slow down or completely stall translating ribosomes. Since an incomplete nascent chain derived from stalled ribosomes may function anomalously, such as by forming toxic aggregates, surveillance systems monitor every step of translation and dispose of such products to prevent their accumulation. Over the past decade, yeast models with powerful genetics and biochemical techniques have contributed to uncovering the mechanism of the co-translational quality control system, which eliminates the harmful products generated from aberrant translation. We here summarize the current knowledge of the molecular mechanism of the co-translational quality control systems in yeast, which eliminate the incomplete nascent chain, improper mRNAs, and faulty ribosomes to maintain cellular protein homeostasis.

    Abstract Frailty is a common age-related condition linked with mobility disorders, long-term care, and death. To prevent frailty, physical activities are considered effective. Several studies have indicated that physical activity can influence mental health as well as body function. Physical activity, cognitive function, and subjective mental health must relate to each other. However, most studies only focus on one-to-one interactions. This observational study aims to clarify the overall relationship and causality between subjective mental health, daily physical activity, and physical and cognitive functions. We recruited 45 people (24 males and 21 females) over 65 years old. Participants visited the university twice and were subjected to activity measurements at home. To examine the causal relationships and related structures between the indicators, structural equation modeling was performed. The results suggest that daily physical activity explains physical function, physical function explains cognitive function, and cognitive function explains subjective mental health, quality of life, and happiness. This study is the first to clarify interactive relationships as an axis that start from daily physical activity to happiness in older adults. Upregulating daily physical activity may improve physical and cognitive functions as well as mental health; this might protect and ameliorate physical, mental, and social frailties.

    Abstract Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are rapidly generated during plant immune responses by RBOH, which is a plasma membrane-localizing NADPH oxidase. Although regulatory mechanisms of RBOH activity have been well documented, the ROS-mediated downstream signaling is unclear. We here demonstrated that ROS sensor proteins play a central role in the ROS signaling via oxidative post-translational modification of cysteine residues, sulfenylation. To detect protein sulfenylation, we used dimedone, which specifically and irreversibly binds to sulfenylated proteins. The sulfenylated proteins were labeled by dimedone in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves, and the conjugates were detected by immunoblot analyses. In addition, a reductant dissociated H2O2-induced conjugates, suggesting that cysteine persulfide and/or polysulfides are involved in sulfenylation. These sulfenylated proteins were continuously increased during both PTI and ETI in a RBOH-dependent manner. Pharmacological inhibition of ROS sensor proteins by dimedone perturbated cell death, ROS accumulation induced by INF1 and MEK2DD, and defense against fungal pathogens. On the other hand, Rpi-blb2-mediated ETI responses were rather enhanced by dimedone. These results suggest that the sulfenylation of cysteine and its derivatives in various ROS sensor proteins are important events in downstream of RBOH-dependent ROS burst to regulate plant immune responses.

    Abstract Objective: A new motion capture system was developed to verify the hypothesis that "during food intake, head motion changes according to the properties of the food."
    Design: Twenty healthy males and 20 healthy females with right-handed and normal occlusion participated in this study. The motion capture system used consisted of a Microsoft Xbox One Kinect Sensor® and a newly-developed program. Meatballs (solid), yogurt (paste), and water (fluid) were used as food samples. Head motion distance, head turning angle, and head forward angle were measured during food intake. Unpaired t-tests were used to analyze each head motion and compare the sexes. A one-way repeated measures analysis of variance was used to analyze each head motion for different food samples.
    Results: Head motion distance was significantly smaller in females for the meatball and yogurt, but not for water. There were no significant differences between the sexes for head turning angle or head forward angle. Head motion distance and head forward angle were significantly larger for water than for meatballs and yogurt. The head turning angle was significantly smaller for the meatball than for yogurt and water.
    Conclusions: The results indicated that females tend to consume food without moving their heads when eating solid and paste foods. As the fluidity of the food increased, the head moved in a turning motion to avoid spilling the food, and the heads tilted forward. The motion capture system used in this study was also effective in analyzing head motion during eating.

    Abstract Background: Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare genetic disease caused by a gain-of-function mutation in ACVR1, which is a bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) type I receptor. Moreover, it causes progressive heterotopic ossification (HO) in connective tissues. Using FOP patient-derived induced pluripotent stem cells (FOP-iPSCs) and mouse models, we elucidated the underlying mechanisms of FOP pathogenesis and identified a candidate drug for FOP.
    Methods: In the current study, healthy mesenchymal stem/stromal cells derived from iPSCs (iMSCs) expressing ACVR2B-Fc (iMSC
    Results: We found that secreted ACVR2B-Fc attenuated BMP signaling initiated by Activin-A and BMP-9 in both iMSCs and FOP-iMSCs in vitro. Transplantation of ACVR2B-Fc-expressing iMSCs reduced primary HO in a transgenic mouse model of FOP. Notably, a local injection of ACVR2B-Fc-expressing iMSCs and not an intraperitoneal injection improved the treadmill performance, suggesting compound effects of ACVR2B-Fc and iMSCs.
    Conclusions: These results offer a new perspective for treating FOP through stem cell therapy.

    Abstract Decrease of pancreatic β cells leads to diabetes. In an inducible cAMP early suppressor (ICER-Iγ) transgenic mouse model of severe type 2 diabetes with reduced insulin production and depleted β cells, supplementation with high concentrations of 17β-estradiol (E2) markedly enhances β-cell proliferation and normalizes glucose levels. The current study explored the underlying mechanisms leading to a dynamic increase of β cells and pathologic changes in diabetic mice exposed to E2. Gene expression profiling of pancreatic islets of 6-month-old ICER-transgenic mice recovering from diabetes due to elevated E2 levels identified growth regulation by estrogen in breast cancer 1 (Greb1) as a gene significantly up-regulated during the recovery phase. To substantiate this, β-cell-specific Greb1-deficient mice were generated, and Greb1 was shown to be essential for recovery of depleted β cells in diabetic mice. Graft growth and glucose lowering were observed in 50 islets with increased Greb1 expression transplanted adjacent to E2 pellets beneath the kidney capsule of streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Greb1 expression due to a drastic increase in exogenous or endogenous E2 was transient and closely correlated with changes in E2-related and some cell cycle-related genes. These findings provide new insights into in vivo proliferation of deficient β cells and suggest the possibility of new therapeutic approaches targeting pancreatic β cells that could revolutionize the concept of diabetes treatment, which has been considered difficult to cure completely.
