    Abstract Following the logic of studies showing that collective efficacy within neighborhoods deters intimate partner violence (IPV), the promotion of social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic may have weakened that effect. To examine that possibility, we analyzed panel data from 318 adults in Japan regarding IPV victimization and perceived collective efficacy at four time points. A latent growth model (LGM) analysis for each measure revealed that informal social control, a subscale of collective efficacy, has declined since the pandemic began, whereas no significant changes have occurred in social cohesion and trust, another subscale of collective efficacy, and IPV victimization. Furthermore, two parallel LGM analyses revealed that although collective efficacy before the pandemic suppressed subsequent IPV victimization, changes in collective efficacy during the pandemic have been positively associated with changes in IPV. Those results suggest that collective efficacy's protective effect on IPV is moderated by whether interactions between intimate partners and their neighbors are socially normative.

    Abstract Background: Hyperprogressive disease is an unexpected response pattern observed in immune checkpoint therapy and associated with poor prognosis. The rechallenge of programmed cell death 1/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors can be a treatment option in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who once responded to them. Here, we reported the hyperprogressive phenomenon after PD-1/PD-L1 rechallenge in a patient with NSCLC.
    Case description: This case report described a patient with recurrent large cell lung cancer undergoing hyperprogressive disease with pleural and pericardial dissemination shortly after the pembrolizumab rechallenge, although he had a favorable response to the initial pembrolizumab treatment. A lower ratio of CD8
    Conclusions: For the first time, we reported that a patient who showed a favorable response to initial anti-PD-1 treatment underwent hyperprogressive disease when rechallenging the same immunotherapy. The increased Foxp3

    Abstract Glycosylation, a part of the Maillard reaction, occurs non-enzymatically in food and biological processes. The selectivity of N-glycosylation was analyzed based on the reactivity of monosaccharides with aromatic amines, including aromatic amino acids, and the degree of molecular interaction (MI) measured using liquid chromatography. Furthermore, the chemical structures of reaction products were determined using X-ray crystallography and/or NMR. The possible reaction products were estimated in silico using the optimized energy values of different conformations. The MI energy values of amino groups and saccharides were calculated using in silico analysis using a model phase. Saccharides having larger MI values easily produced stable crystals of N-glycosides. The reaction rate of glucose (an energy saccharide) was slow, and it easily produced the Amadori compounds. The study of the reactivity of aromatic amines with saccharides, the measurement of the retention of monosaccharides on amino phase in chromatography, and the synthesis of N-glycosides for the determination of their structures will provide useful information about selective glycosylation for the modification of drug candidates to improve their water solubility.

    Abstract Purpose: To assess the number of surgeries needed to acquire the necessary skills to perform spine surgery independently.
    Patients and methods: A questionnaire on 12 different spinal procedures was sent to orthopedic surgeons affiliated with the spine teams of orthopedic departments at either the Akita University or Sapporo Medical University. Participants were asked to identify whether they (A) could independently perform each procedure, (B) could perform each procedure with the assistance of a senior doctor, or (C) were unable to perform each procedure. Those whose response was (A) were asked how many surgeries were required to acquire the necessary skills. Those who responded to (B) or (C) were asked how many surgeries they believed were required to acquire the skills necessary to operate independently. Participants also responded to 10 questions on surgical training techniques and rated the usefulness of each method.
    Results: A total of 55 spine surgeons responded to the questionnaire. Group A required significantly fewer surgeries in the following categories to become independent than required Group C: upper cervical spine surgery (7.3/19.3), anterior cervical decompression/fusion (6.7/28.8), posterior cervical decompression/fusion (9.5/27.3), lumbar discectomy (12.6/26.7), endoscopic lumbar discectomy (10.2/24.2), spinal tumor resection (6.5/37.2), and spinal kyphosis surgery (10.3/32.3). Over 80% of participants responded that the following were effective methods: "surgeries where a senior doctor is the main surgeon, and the respondent is the assistant and observer"; "surgeries where the respondent is the main surgeon, and a senior doctor is an assistant"; "self-study using surgery manuals, articles, and textbooks"; and "training through video surgery sessions".
    Conclusion: Surgeons who do not perform specific procedures independently require more surgical experience than those who operate independently. Our results may help develop more efficient training methods for spine surgeons.

    Abstract Gastrointestinal bleeding is one serious complication of patients undergoing hemodialysis with end-stage renal failure. The present study aimed to evaluate risks and clinical features of real-world clinical data on upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding in patients undergoing hemodialysis during a 5-year longitudinal observation period. This study included 151 patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis at Takagi Hospital between December 2017 and December 2022. Clinical data from December 2017 were recorded, and upper and lower gastrointestinal bleeding, mortality, prescribed medications, and bone fractures were examined during the five-year observation period. Of 151 patients, 32 (21.2%:4.2% per year) experienced bleeding, 24 had upper gastrointestinal bleeding, 7 had lower gastrointestinal bleeding, and one had an unknown origin of bleeding. Ulcers or erosions primarily cause upper gastrointestinal bleeding without Helicobacter pylori infection, whereas patients with H pylori eradication are more likely to experience bleeding caused by vascular lesions, often accompanied by underlying comorbidities. The prophylactic effects of proton pump inhibitors and histamine-2 receptor blockers were limited in hemodialysis patients, as 15 out of 24 patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (62.5%) were prescribed these medications. The mortality rate in patients with lower gastrointestinal bleeding (71.4%) was higher than that in those without bleeding (33.6%) (P < .05). All patients with lower gastrointestinal bleeding were prescribed nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and/or aspirin. In this study, endoscopic hemostasis was successfully achieved. The present study indicated that the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding during hemodialysis was relatively high. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding may develop even with the prescription of proton pump inhibitors. Lower gastrointestinal bleeding was a complication in hemodialysis patients under serious pathological condition with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and or aspirin.

    Abstract Low-acidity polymer electrolyte membranes are essential to polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) and water electrolysis systems, both of which are expected to be next-generation energy and hydrogen sources. We developed a new type of high-performance polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) in which the core particles are precisely electrolyte polymer coated and filled into binder resin. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), which have attracted attention as light, rigid, and sustainable materials, were selected as the core material for the filler. The CNC surface was coated with a new block copolymer containing a proton conductive polymer of poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA) and a hydrophobic polymer of polystyrene (PS) using RAFT polymerization with particles (PwP) we developed. The pelletized fillers and the filler-filled polycarbonate membranes achieved proton conductivities of over 10
