    Abstract C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) is the third member of the natriuretic peptide family. Unlike other members, i.e., atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), which are cardiac hormones secreted from the atrium and ventricle of the heart, respectively, CNP is regarded as an autocrine/paracrine regulator with broad expression in the body. Because of its low expression levels compared to ANP and BNP, early studies failed to show its existence and role in the heart. However, recent studies have revealed the physiological and pathophysiological importance of CNP in the heart; in concert with the distribution of its specific natriuretic peptide receptor-B (NPR-B), CNP has come to be regarded as the major heart-protective natriuretic peptide in the failed heart. NPR-B generates intracellular cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) upon CNP binding, followed by various molecular effects including the activation of cGMP-dependent protein kinases, which generates diverse cytoprotective actions in cardiomyocytes, as well as in cardiac fibroblasts. CNP exerts negative inotropic and positive lusitropic responses in both normal and failing heart models. Furthermore, osteocrin, the intrinsic and specific ligand for the clearance receptor for natriuretic peptides, can augment the effects of CNP and may supply a novel therapeutic strategy for cardiac protection.

    Abstract Thyrotoxicosis, commonly seen in a condition with Graves' disease, causes increased bone absorption and results in osteoporosis with increased bone turnover. The osteoporotic state is dominant in cortical bones with slight impairment of calcium-homeostasis, although the precise mechanism is still elusive. It ought to be recovered in accordance with the amelioration of thyroid hormone status, but past history of thyrotoxicosis might cause bone fragility, especially in post-menopausal or senile patients.

    Abstract Today, we can treat osteoporotic patients with multiple drugs of various mechanisms and in various forms. Nevertheless, there exist few clinical evidences that exhibit an efficacy of an anti-osteoporotic drug on osteoporosis with pulmonary disorders, including asthma, COPD and OSAS. We should use drugs for osteoporotic patients with pulmonary disorders in accordance with a guideline on the management and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis or a guideline on the management and treatment of osteoporosis, according to whether they are treated by glucocorticoid or not.

    Abstract Longitudinal bone growth is achieved by a tightly controlled process termed endochondral bone formation. C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) stimulates endochondral bone formation through binding to its specific receptor, guanylyl cyclase (GC)-B. However, CNP/GC-B signaling dynamics in different stages of endochondral bone formation have not been fully clarified, especially in terms of the interaction between the cyclic guanine monophosphate (cGMP) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) pathways. Here, we demonstrated that CNP activates the cAMP/protein kinase A (PKA) pathway and that this activation contributed to the elongation of the hypertrophic zone in the growth plate. Cells of the chondrogenic line ATDC5 were transfected with Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based cGMP and PKA biosensors. Dual-FRET imaging revealed that CNP increased intracellular cGMP levels and PKA activities in chondrocytes. Further, CNP-induced PKA activation was enhanced following differentiation of ATDC5 cells. Live imaging of the fetal growth plate of transgenic mice, expressing a FRET biosensor for PKA, PKAchu mice, showed that CNP predominantly activates the PKA in the hypertrophic chondrocytes. Additionally, histological analysis of the growth plate of PKAchu mice demonstrated that CNP increased the length of the growth plate, but coadministration of a PKA inhibitor, H89, inhibited the growth-promoting effect of CNP only in the hypertrophic zone. In summary, we revealed that CNP-induced cGMP elevation activated the cAMP/PKA pathway, and clarified that this PKA activation contributed to the bone growth-promoting effect of CNP in hypertrophic chondrocytes. These results provide insights regarding the cross-talk between cGMP and cAMP signaling in endochondral bone formation and in the physiological role of the CNP/GC-B system.

    Abstract Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare endocrine tumor. Parathyroid carcinoma in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism due to chronic kidney disease is also rare. In addition, thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare congenital anomaly. We report an extremely rare case of parathyroid carcinoma in a patient with secondary hyperparathyroidism and thyroid hemiagenesis. We also present a review of the literature of this rare entity. We also discuss the surgical procedure performed for this patient. Our review of the literature found 34 case reports of parathyroid carcinoma in patients undergoing dialysis due to chronic renal failure; 14 reports of thyroid hemiagenesis with parathyroid disease; and no previous reports of thyroid hemiagenesis with secondary hyperparathyroidism and parathyroid carcinoma. Although surgical treatment of parathyroid carcinoma requires combined resection with the thyroid, peritracheal dissection with total parathyroidectomy, and monitoring intact parathyroid hormone as a tumor marker, our procedure preserved the patient's thyroid function. There has been no evidence of recurrence for over 8 years.

    Abstract Objective: Recently, the high prevalence of young Japanese individuals who are underweight has received attention because of the potential risk for sarcopenia. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and characteristics of sarcopenia in Japanese youth.
    Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we measured skeletal muscle mass using a multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis device and handgrip strength (HGS) and administered questionnaires on dietary habits and physical activity in 1264 first-year university students ages 18 to 20 y (838 men and 426 women). Sarcopenia was confirmed based on the presence of both low skeletal muscle mass and weak muscle strength.
    Results: In all, 145 men (17%) and 69 women (16%) were diagnosed as underweight. Sarcopenia was diagnosed in 8 men (1%) and 5 women (1%). There was a significantly higher prevalence of low skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and/or weak HGS in underweight individuals than in those in other body mass index (BMI) ranges. The multivariate analyses indicated that SMI and HGS were significantly associated with BMI in both sexes. Furthermore, after adjusting for BMI, both SMI and HGS were significantly associated with physical activity in men, and SMI was significantly associated with energy intake in women.
    Conclusions: First-year university students showed a high incidence of being underweight with low SMI and/or weak HGS, but the prevalence of sarcopenia was low in both sexes. There may be sex differences in factors related to muscle mass and strength, but further research is needed to clarify this.
