    Abstract The objective of this research communication was to produce low potassium milk in which other electrolyte changes and changes in taste were minimized. To reduce potassium concentrations, several studies have reported batch methods of directly mixing milk or formula with sodium polystyrene sulfonate, which can exchange cations such as potassium for sodium. However, they also reported increases in sodium content, decreases in calcium and magnesium content, and changes in taste, because sodium polystyrene sulfonate exchanged other substances such as calcium and magnesium for sodium. In the present study, a method of dialyzing whole cow's milk using both sodium polystyrene sulfonate and a small amount of water through cellophane membranes was developed. A batch method for comparison was also performed. Each milk sample was evaluated biochemically and analyzed for taste and aroma in a sensory analysis. We showed that the potassium concentration in the dialyzed milk was reduced to 38% of that in unreacted milk. It was also shown that changes in sodium (increased) as well as calcium and magnesium (decreased) in the dialyzed milk were less than half of those in the batch method milk. Sensory analysis showed that minimal changes occurred in the taste of the dialyzed milk.

    Abstract Advances in next-generation sequencing have made comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) using tumor tissue specimens and liquid biopsy using blood samples feasible in routine clinical practice. In the context of pancreaticobiliary cancer, it is necessary to consider CGP in formulating individualized treatment strategies. Performing CGP with tumor tissue specimens requires a sufficient number of high-quality samples. EUS-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) is expected to play a significant role in this regard, and endosonographers need to address this role. Here, we review the current status of EUS-TA for CGP focusing on pancreatic cancer and biliary tract cancer.

    Abstract Objectives: The objective of this study was to summarize a combined competency domains and items set for occupational hygienists in Japan since there is a lack of such a set due to the existence of several national certification specialists in the field of occupational hygiene.
    Methods: A literature search, Kitagawa Jiro's (KJ) method study, Delphi method study, and a questionnaire survey were utilized. The domains, roles, knowledge, and skills included in the home pages and reports of representative organizations in the USA, UK, and Japan, and those in papers found through Google Scholar were compared and rearranged to about 150 items. From these, occupational hygiene competency domains and items were discussed and selected by five occupational hygiene specialists using the KJ method and prioritized by 13 occupational hygiene specialists using the Delphi method. Additionally, responses of 53 union members of occupational hygiene specialists from a university were obtained by a questionnaire survey.
    Results: Ten occupational competency domains and 147 items were identified through the literature search, 10 domains and 135 items through the KJ method, six domains and 63 items through the Delphi method, and lastly, five domains and 51 items were identified through the questionnaire survey. The five domains included (1) discovering problems and potential developments and making decisions, (2) solving problems and promoting developmental occupational hygiene, (3) communicating with stakeholders and recovering in an emergency, (4) empowering organizations to which you belong, and (5) educating and facilitating workers.
    Conclusions: Although the 53 subjects in the questionnaire survey were predominantly 20 to 30 years old and more than half of the 13 Delphi method participants were relatively old veterans, there was a positive correlation between the evaluation of 63 items by both methods. These results suggest that the occupational hygiene competency set of five domains and 51 items obtained in this study is a combined competency set that is representative of Japan.

    Abstract Therapeutic endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) procedures using the forward-viewing convex EUS (FV-EUS) have been reviewed based on the articles reported to date. The earliest reported procedure is the drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts using FV-EUS. However, the study on drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts focused on showing that drainage is possible with FV-EUS rather than leveraging its features. Subsequently, studies describing the characteristics of FV-EUS have been reported. By using FV-EUS in EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy, double punctures in the gastrointestinal tract can be avoided. In postoperative modified anatomical cases, using the endoscopic function of FV-EUS, procedures such as bile duct drainage from anastomosis, pancreatic duct drainage from the afferent limb, and abscess drainage from the digestive tract have been reported. When a perpendicular puncture to the gastrointestinal tract is required or when there is a need to insert the endoscope deep into the gastrointestinal tract, FV-EUS is considered among the options.

    Abstract Translesion DNA synthesis (TLS) is an emergency system activated to inhibit cell death caused by DNA damage-induced replication arrest. Thus, TLS enables cancer cells to acquire resistance to alkylate anticancer drugs. REV7 functions as the hub protein that interacts with both the inserter DNA polymerase REV1 and the extender DNA polymerase REV3 in TLS. REV7-mediated protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are essential for the activation of TLS, and are therefore attractive targets for anticancer drug development. To clarify the REV7-REV3 and REV7-REV1 PPIs, we determined the structures of REV7-REV3 and REV7-REV3-REV1 complexes. In the structures of REV7-REV3 and REV7-REV3-REV1 complexes, REV7 wraps around the REV3 fragment, and the REV1-binding interface is distinct from the REV3-binding site of REV7. We also identified a novel REV7 binding protein, transcription factor II-I (TFII-I), which is required for TLS. Of note, TFII-I binds the REV7-REV3-REV1 complex, suggesting that REV7-TFII-I PPIs are independent of other REV7-mediated PPIs. Furthermore, we found a small-molecule compound that inhibits TLS by targeting the REV7-REV3 PPIs. Lastly, we determined the structure of REV7 in complex with chromosome alignment maintaining phosphoprotein (CAMP), a known kinetochore-microtubule attachment protein. The overall structure of the REV7-CAMP complex is similar to that of the REV7-REV3 complex, but the REV7-CAMP PPIs are markedly different from the REV7-REV3 PPIs. These findings improve our understanding of multifunctional hub proteins, and are helpful for designing small-molecule compounds for novel anticancer drug development.

    Abstract Some wildlife species that have expanded their range into urban areas use various anthropogenic structures for breeding and resting. We investigated the use of seismically isolated buildings, with gaps between the structures and ground surface, by urban wildlife in Japan. Camera traps set in a building revealed that masked palm civets (Paguma larvata) continued to use the building for approximately 3 years. Civet feces and footprints were found in two buildings during field sign surveys. To ensure public health, civets should be prevented from invading seismically isolated buildings by covering gaps with elastic materials and avoiding placing pipes that could be used by the animals near these gaps.
