    Abstract A semiconductor microwave device that generates a series of burst microwaves at a sub-microsecond duration has been successfully used in a breakdown plasma spectrometer in atmospheric conditions. Microwave delivery has been changed to couple the microwave with laser sparks and electric sparks which are typical plasma ignition sources in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and spark-induced breakdown spectroscopy (SIBS). A helical antenna was used for the laser spark, while a coaxial antenna was considered more appropriate for the electric spark. The weak and transient sparks in LIBS and SIBS are enlarged by the microwaves which are stably sustained in the air. The microwave's output power and pulse duration are easily controllable, resulting in tunable plasma intensity and sustained production of hydroxyl radicals (OH radicals). Even in continuous-wave operation by microwave, the low-energy system prevented the formation of high-temperature thermal plasma (>10,000 K) without any mechanical cooling system. The microwave-enhanced LIBS (MW-LIBS) and microwave-enhanced SIBS (MW-SIBS) could be applied to optical emission spectroscopy analyses. In analytical applications, MW-SIBS produces no shockwave in contrast with MW-LIBS which is a great advantage in powdered samples. The MW-SIBS successfully analyzed the direct introduction of copper metal powders.

    Abstract We developed a semiconductor microwave system to improve the ignition process in a combustion system. Under atmospheric pressure conditions, large plasma was successfully ignited by a 2.45 GHz microwave, and it is characterized in comparison with standard spark plug ignition and laser ignition. The size of the microwave power source was also effectively reduced with the minimal size (100 × 60 mm

    Abstract Hanudel et al. investigated the effects of hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase domain inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) on iron metabolism in a chronic kidney disease (CKD) mouse model and showed that vadadustat, an HIF-PHI, exerted beneficial effects on anemia and iron disorders independently of erythroferrone. Vadadustat also inhibited the progression of CKD and the CKD-associated increase of plasma fibroblast growth factor 23 in CKD mice. This study provides new insights into the action of HIF-PIHs in CKD.

    Abstract This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Professionalism is widely known as extremely important to the practice of medicine. However, a methodology has not been established in Japan, such that teachers-in-charge at medical schools are using personal strategies in conducting classes. Evidently, research on professionalism education in Japan is lacking. Therefore, the study aims to report an improvement plan for professionalism education in a certain medical school in Japan with emphasis on practice. Specifically, the study focuses on problem extraction and targets medical students in the first year. The problems of the program were extracted for learner, grouping, facilitator, and presentation. Program improvements were implemented for each of these parts to overcome the problems. The result shows that students gained a better understanding of their roles until graduation. In addition, the number of students who answered that this program was the most memorable in 2019 has tripled compared with that in 2018. Regarding the program improvement, the effect of the program cannot be concluded based on this result alone. In the future, these students should be followed up to investigate any changes. In addition, feedback from each facilitator should be investigated as a future endeavor.

    Abstract The effective storage of urine and its expulsion relies upon the coordinated activity of parasympathetic, sympathetic, and somatic innervations to the lower urinary tract (LUT). At birth, all mammalian neonates lack the ability to voluntary regulate bladder storage or voiding. The ability to control urinary bladder activity is established as connections to the central nervous system (CNS) form through development. The neural regulation of the LUT has been predominantly investigated in adult animal models where comparatively less is known about the neonatal and postnatal neurophysiological development that facilitate urinary continence. Furthermore, congenital neurological or anatomical defects can adversely affect both storage and voiding functions through postnatal development and into adulthood, leading to secondary conditions including vesicoureteral reflux, chronic urinary tract infections, and end-stage renal disease. Therefore, the aim of the review is to provide the current knowledge available on neurophysiological regulation of the LUT through pre- to postnatal development of human and animal models and the consequences of congenital anomalies that can affect LUT neural function.

    Abstract Biliary lipids primarily consist of bile salts, phospholipids, and cholesterol. Bile salts have potent detergent properties and deleterious effects on the cell membrane and are cytotoxic to hepatocytes. We have previously reported that phosphatidylcholine (PC), the predominant bile phospholipid, protects hepatocytes from the cytotoxicity of bile salts, whereas cholesterol reverses the cytoprotective effects of PC against bile salts. ABCB4, a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter family, secretes biliary phospholipids, especially PC, from the hepatocytes into the bile. Using Abcb4 knockout mice and HEK293 cells that stably expressed ABCB4, we examined the effects of taurine- or glycine-conjugated cholate, ursodeoxycholate, and hyodeoxycholate on the ABCB4-mediated efflux of PC. We observed that the biliary secretion of PC in wild-type mice significantly increased following infusion of all the tested bile salts, especially taurohyodeoxycholate. On the other hand, the biliary secretion of PC in Abcb4 knockout mice was not affected by the bile salt infusions. The results also demonstrated that the efflux of PC from ABCB4-expressing HEK293 cells was significantly stimulated by taurohyodeoxycholate, which has a strong potential to form mixed micelles with PC. Furthermore, the results of our study emphasized the possibility that the specific interactions of bile salts with ABCB4 are necessary for the release of PC molecules from the binding pocket of ABCB4 into the aqueous environment. Further understanding of this mechanism will aid in the development of novel therapeutic agents for cholestatic liver diseases.

    Abstract Microbiome dysbiosis resulting in altered metabolite profiles may be associated with certain diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which are characterized by active intestinal inflammation. Several studies have indicated the beneficial anti-inflammatory effect of metabolites from gut microbiota, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and/or D-amino acids in IBD therapy, through orally administered dietary supplements. In the present study, the potential gut protective effects of d-methionine (D-Met) and/or butyric acid (BA) have been investigated in an IBD mouse model. We have also built an IBD mouse model, which was cost-effectively induced with low molecular weight DSS and kappa-carrageenan. Our findings revealed that D-Met and/or BA supplementation resulted in the attenuation of the disease condition as well as the suppression of several inflammation-related gene expressions in the IBD mouse model. The data shown here may suggest a promising therapeutic potential for improving symptoms of gut inflammation with an impact on IBD therapy. However, molecular metabolisms need to be further explored.
