    Abstract Porous materials are used in a variety of industrial applications owing to their large surface areas, large pore volumes, hierarchical porosities, and low densities. The motion of particles inside the pores of porous materials has attracted considerable attention. We investigated nano-particle motion in a porous material using the single-particle tracking method. Particle motion such as absorption and desorption at the wall was observed. The displacement probability distribution deviated from the Gaussian distribution at the tail, indicating non-Gaussian motion of the particles. Moreover, an analysis of the relative angle between three consecutive particle positions revealed that the probability of the particle moving backward was approximately twice that of the particle moving forward. These results indicate that particle motion inside porous materials is highly complex and that a single-particle study is essential for fabricating a structure that is suitable for applications.

    Abstract Objective: To evaluate the preoperative haemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet score as a prognostic indicator in oral squamous cell carcinoma treated by radical surgery.
    Subjects and methods: Patients (83 men, 32 women; 65.80 ± 11.47 years) who underwent radical surgery between 2012 and 2022 were included. Factors affecting overall survival and disease-free survival according to the haemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet score were examined. Patients were categorised into low- and high-score groups using optimal cut-off values obtained from receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
    Results: The low-score group had poorer overall and disease-free survival (p < 0.001 each). Multivariate analysis identified alcohol consumption (hazard ratio [HR], 3.83; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.56-9.41, p = 0.003); vascular invasion (HR, 3.97; 95% CI: 1.60-9.85, p = 0.003); and the haemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet score (HR, 0.39; 95% CI: 0.20-0.78, p = 0.007) as independent prognostic factors for overall survival and vascular (HR, 3.66; 95% CI: 1.79-7.50, p < 0.001) and lymphovascular (HR, 2.44; 95% CI: 1.36-4.41, p = 0.003) invasion as independent prognostic factors for disease-free survival.
    Conclusion: The preoperative haemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet score may be a significant prognostic factor for patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma undergoing radical surgery.

    Abstract Objectives: As the world's population is ageing, improving the physical performance (PP) of the older population is becoming important. Although diets are fundamental to maintaining and improving PP, few studies have addressed the role of these factors in adults aged ≥ 85 years, and none have been conducted in Asia. This study aimed to determine the dietary patterns (DP) and examine their relationship with PP in this population.
    Design: This cross-sectional study (Kawasaki Aging and Wellbeing Project) estimated food consumption using a brief-type self-administered diet history questionnaire. The results were adjusted for energy after aggregating into thirty-three groups, excluding possible over- or underestimation. Principal component analysis was used to identify DP, and outcomes included hand grip strength (HGS), timed up-and-go test, and usual walking speed.
    Setting: This study was set throughout several hospitals in Kawasaki city.
    Participants: In total, 1026 community-dwelling older adults (85-89 years) were enrolled.
    Results: Data of 1000 participants (median age: 86·9 years, men: 49·9 %) were included in the analysis. Three major DP (DP1: various foods, DP2: red meats and coffee, DP3: bread and processed meats) were identified. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the trend of DP2 was negatively associated with HGS (B, 95 % CI -0·35, -0·64, -0·06).
    Conclusions: This study suggests a negative association between HGS and DP characterised by red meats and coffee in older adults aged ≥ 85 years in Japan.

    Abstract The Fe- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenase SptF is a promising powerful biocatalys with unusual catalytic versatility and promiscuity. The site-specific random substitution of N150, I63, and N65, which are involved in substrate interactions, generated three compounds that were not produced by the SptF wild type. The substrate binding mode was dramatically altered by the introduction of only one or two substitutions. These results provide insights into the engineering of Fe- and 2-oxoglutarate-dependent oxygenases for chemoenzymatic syntheses of bioactive compounds.

    Abstract This paper describes the current status of studies and clinical trials on the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSCs) for complications of preterm birth (PTB), an urgent issue in the perinatal field. PTB is a serious challenge in clinical medicine that is increasing globally, and effective control of its complications is necessary for newborns' subsequent long life. Classical treatments are inadequate, and many patients have PTB complications. A growing body of evidence provided by translational medicine and others indicates that MSCs, and among them, the readily available AFSCs, may be useful in treating PTB complications. AFSCs are the only MSCs available prenatally and are known to be highly anti-inflammatory and tissue-protective and do not form tumors when transplanted. Furthermore, because they are derived from the amniotic fluid, a medical waste product, no ethical issues are involved. AFSCs are an ideal cell resource for MSC therapy in neonates. This paper targets the brain, lungs, and intestines, which are the vital organs most likely to be damaged by PTB complications. The evidence to date and future prospects with MSCs and AFSCs for these organs are described.

    Abstract Single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM) based on temporal-focusing multiphoton excitation (TFMPE) and single-wavelength excitation is used to visualize the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of spontaneously blinking fluorophore-labeled subcellular structures in a thick specimen with a nanoscale-level spatial resolution. To eliminate the photobleaching effect of unlocalized molecules in out-of-focus regions for improving the utilization rate of the photon budget in 3D SMLM imaging, SMLM with single-wavelength TFMPE achieves wide-field and axially confined two-photon excitation (TPE) of spontaneously blinking fluorophores. TPE spectral measurement of blinking fluorophores is then conducted through TFMPE imaging at a tunable excitation wavelength, yielding the optimal TPE wavelength for increasing the number of detected photons from a single blinking event during SMLM. Subsequently, the TPE fluorescence of blinking fluorophores is recorded to obtain a two-dimensional TFMPE-SMLM image of the microtubules in cancer cells with a localization precision of 18 ± 6 nm and an overall imaging resolution of approximately 51 nm, which is estimated based on the contribution of Nyquist resolution and localization precision. Combined with astigmatic imaging, the system is capable of 3D TFMPE-SMLM imaging of brain tissue section of a 5XFAD transgenic mouse with the pathological features of Alzheimer's disease, revealing the distribution of neurotoxic amyloid-beta peptide deposits.

    Abstract In the early stages of drug discovery, adequate evaluation of the potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) of drug candidates is important. Several CYP3A activators are known to lead to underestimation of DDIs. These compounds affect midazolam 1'-hydroxylation but not midazolam 4-hydroxylation.We used both metabolic reactions of midazolam to evaluate the activation and inhibition of CYP3A activators simultaneously. For our CYP inhibition assay using cocktail probe substrates, simultaneous liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry monitoring of 1'-hydroxymidazolam and 4-hydroxymidazolam for CYP3A was established in addition to monitoring of 4-hydroxydiclofenac and 1'-hydroxybufuralol for CYP2C9 and CYP2D6.The results of our cocktail inhibition assay were well correlated with those of a single inhibition assay, as were the estimated inhibition parameters for typical CYP3A inhibitors. In our assay, a proprietary compound that activated midazolam 1'-hydroxylation and tended to inhibit 4-hydroxylation was evaluated along with known CYP3A activators. All compounds were well characterised by comparison of the results of midazolam 1'- and 4-hydroxylation.In conclusion, our CYP cocktail inhibition assay can detect CYP3A activation and assess the direct and time-dependent inhibition potentials for CYP3A, CYP2C9, and CYP2D6. This method is expected to be very efficient in the early stages of drug discovery.
