    Abstract This study examined whether the point of accelerated deoxygenation of active muscle occurs during the 20-m shuttle run test (20mSRT) and, if so, whether it is associated with exercise performance in the test. Twenty-nine male subjects performed the 20mSRT, and concentration changes in oxyhaemoglobin (ΔOxy-Hb) and deoxyhaemoglobin (ΔDeoxy-Hb) in the m. vastus lateralis were measured using a portable near-infrared spectroscopy device. The difference between the relative concentration changes in ΔOxy-Hb and ΔDeoxy-Hb (Δ[Oxy-Hb - Deoxy-Hb]) was regarded as the muscle oxygenation index. Group-averaged Δ[Oxy-Hb - Deoxy-Hb] showed progressive decrease during the test. However, among the individuals, we found an accelerated point of decrease in Δ[Oxy-Hb - Deoxy-Hb] in 20 subjects, which revealed that the laps at the accelerated point correlated with the total laps (r = 0·78). These results demonstrate that the accelerated deoxygenation of active muscle occurs during the 20mSRT, but not in all cases. Our findings also indicate that if the accelerated point of muscle deoxygenation occurs, the timing of its appearance is related to 20mSRT performance.

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to compare the relative exercise intensity at which the onset of accelerated muscle deoxygenation occurs during the 20-m shuttle run test (20mSRT) between boys and men and to examine whether the timing of the onset of acceleration appearance is related to 20mSRT performance in boys.
    Methods: Twenty-four boys performed the 20mSRT, during which concentration changes in oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin and myoglobin (ΔOxy-Hb and ΔDeoxy-Hb, respectively) in the m. vastus lateralis were monitored using a portable near-infrared spectroscopy device. The boys' data were compared with those of 29 men in a previous study.
    Results: An onset of accelerated decrease in Δ[Oxy-Hb - Deoxy-Hb] was found in 11 of the 24 boys (45.8%) and 20 of the 29 men (69.0%) and was found at a higher relative exercise intensity in the boys than in the men. The number of laps at which the onset of acceleration occurred correlated with total laps in the boys (r = .87).
    Conclusions: These findings demonstrate that the onset of accelerated muscle deoxygenation during the 20mSRT occurs at a higher relative exercise intensity in boys than in men. Our findings also show that the timing of the onset of acceleration appearance is associated with 20mSRT performance in boys.

    Abstract The histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27) methyltransferase EZH2 is essential for stem cell maintenance and proliferation. Recent insights suggest that the cyclin-dependent kinase CDK1 phosphorylates EZH2 at specific threonine residues by sensing developmental cues to mediate self-renewal or differentiation during G2/M phase.

    Abstract Epidemiological studies have proposed an association between group A streptococci (GAS) bearing a particular M serological type and pathologic conditions such as streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS). M1 and M3 GAS are isolated from STSS cases more frequently, whereas M4 and M12 GAS are isolated from non-STSS cases more frequently. To investigate whether there is any difference contributing the M-type association among GAS, we compared various virulence traits, including the murine lethality of M4, M12, M1, and M3 GAS clinical isolates, which are not clonally related to one another. Murine lethality, the activities of superantigens, streptolysin O, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide glycohydrolase, and the presence of the speA and speC genes were closely associated with M type. These results indicate that M types may serve, in part, as markers for strains/clones with particular profiles of virulence traits and mouse lethality.

    Abstract Pluripotent cells in mouse embryos, which first emerge in the inner cell mass of the blastocyst, undergo gradual transition marked by changes in gene expression, developmental potential, polarity, and morphology as they develop from the pre-implantation until post-implantation gastrula stage. Recent studies of cultured mouse pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have clarified the presence of intermediate pluripotent stages between the naïve pluripotent state represented by embryonic stem cells (ESCs-equivalent to the pre-implantation epiblast) and the primed pluripotent state represented by epiblast stem cells (EpiSCs-equivalent to the late post-implantation gastrula epiblast). In this review, we discuss these recent findings in light of our knowledge on peri-implantation mouse development and consider the implications of these new PSCs to understand their temporal sequence and the feasibility of using them as model system for pluripotency.

    Abstract We report a patient presenting with crossed aphasia following infarction in the territory of the right anterior cerebral artery (ACA). A right-handed 68-year-old woman without a history of correction had acute disturbance of consciousness, left hemiparesis predominant in the lower extremity, speech disorder and left unilateral spatial neglect during the admission due to hypertensive emergency. No other family member was left-handed. MRI of the head revealed acute phase infarction in the territory of the right ACA: mesial frontal lobe including the supplementary motor area, anterior cingulate gyrus, and the corpus callosum. Language symptoms in the subacute phase included difficulty in initiation, slow speech rate, loss of intonation and phonetic paraphasia, and accompanying errors in comprehension, repetition, reading, and writing letters. These symptoms suggested "anomalous" type crossed aphasia. No limb apraxia, construction disorder or left unilateral spatial neglect was observed in this period. Only a few cases of crossed aphasia due to infarction in the territory of the ACA have been reported so far. However, language and concomitant symptoms differs, depending on each case, suggesting a difference in individual cerebral lateralization.

    Abstract Objective: Acute mental stress (MS) increases arm blood pressure (BP); however, it remains unclear whether a stress-induced pressor response is also observed in other vessels. This study aimed to examine the impact of acute MS on ankle BP. Fifty-six young, healthy men aged 19-24 years were divided into the MS (n = 29) and control (CON) (n = 27) groups; each group performed 5-min MS (mental arithmetic) or CON tasks. Systolic and diastolic BPs (SBP and DBP, respectively) of both the brachial and posterior tibial arteries were simultaneously measured at the baseline and 5 and 30 min after the task.
    Results: In the MS group, brachial BP measures significantly increased (P < 0.05) until 30 min after the task; ankle BP measures were also significantly (P < 0.05) elevated during this time. In the CON group, no significant changes were found in brachial BP measures or ankle SBP, whereas a significant increase (P < 0.05) in ankle DBP was observed 30 min after the task. Our findings indicate that both brachial and ankle BP exhibit a sustained elevation after acute MS, suggesting a systemic pressor response by stress exposure. The measurement of ankle BP in addition to arm BP may be important to assess the stress response.
