    Abstract The central nervous system (CNS) is a highly complex collection of various cell-types, such as neurons, glial cells, vascular cells, and immune cells, and their complex and dynamic interactions enable to achieve highly sophisticated functions of the CNS. Among such CNS cells are microglia, which are well-known primary CNS macrophages localized in the CNS parenchyma and play a pivotal role in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. Besides microglia, there are anatomically distinct macrophage populations at the border of the CNS, such as meninge, and perivascular space, called CNS-associated macrophages (CAMs). Recent studies have given novel insights into the nature of CAMs. In this review, I will discuss our current knowledge of the origins, the cellular properties of CNS macrophages.

    Abstract The central nervous system (CNS) is a highly complex collection of neurons with a variety of stromal cells, such as glia cells, immune cells, vascular cells and fibroblasts. Microglia are a resident macrophage and a type of glial cells located in the parenchyma of the CNS and play a pivotal role in the maintenance of tissue homeostasis. They are early responders to the abnormality of the CNS, leading to the adaptation of their phenotypes by virtue of their plasticity, after which they give an impact on neuronal functions. Besides microglia, there are anatomically and phenotypically distinct macrophage populations at the border of the CNS, such as meninge, perivascular space and choroid plexus, where they show distinct morphology and gene expression profiles when compared with microglia. This review will summarize the recent advance in our knowledge regarding their heterogeneity, plasticity, ontogenetic relationship of these CNS-resident macrophage populations.

    Abstract Introduction and objectives: To compare gonad doses with and without a gonad protector and to optimize the use of gonadal protectors in infants thorax radiography.
    Materials and methods: Two pediatric anthropomorphic phantoms are used: an X-ray system for KXO-50SS/DRX-3724HD, and a digital radiography system for CALNEO Smart C12, with and without a gonad protector during infants thorax radiography. A real time skin dosimeter is placed on the X-ray system, and a real time skin dosimeter is inserted on the front side of the mammary gland, the front and back sides of the true pelvis level, and on the ovaries and testes. The X-ray system is irradiated 15 times using phantoms with and without a gonad protector. The measured entrance patient doses values of for the real time skin dosimeter are compared for each phantom, with and without the gonad protector.
    Results: The medium of measured entrance patient doses values for front side dose of the true pelvis level with and without the protector are 10.00 and 5.00 μGy at newborn, and 10.00 and 0.00μGy at one year, respectively. The medium of measured entrance patient doses values for the back side dose of the true pelvis level with and without the protector are 0.00 and 0.00 μGy at both newborn one year, respectively. The measured entrance patient doses cannot be detected in the ovaries and testes with or without the protector. No significant differences are observed in the measured entrance patient doses values for the front and back side doses of the pelvis, ovaries, and testes at newborn and one year, with and without the protector (p>0.05).
    Conclusions: No significant difference was observed in gonad dose measurements with and without the gonad protector during infants chest radiography. We believe that gonadal protector wearing is not necessary.

    Abstract Microglia are resident macrophages in the central nervous system (CNS) that play various roles during brain development and in the pathogenesis of CNS diseases. Recently, reprogramming of cellular energetic metabolism in microglia has drawn attention as a crucial mechanism for diversification of microglial functionality. Lipids are highly diverse materials and crucial components of cell membranes in every cell. Accumulating evidence has shown that lipid and its metabolism are tightly involved in microglial biology. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge about microglial lipid metabolism in health and disease.

    Abstract Hypertension in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients is a risk factor for end-stage renal disease, cardiovascular events, and mortality. Thus, the prevention and appropriate management of hypertension in these patients are essential strategies for better cardio-renal outcomes. In this review, we show novel risk factors for hypertension with CKD, several promising prognostic markers and treatment for cardio-renal outcomes. Of note, the clinical use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors has recently expanded to non-diabetic patients with CKD and heart failure as well as diabetic patients. SGLT2 inhibitors have an antihypertensive effect, but are also associated with a low risk of hypotension. This unique mechanism of blood pressure regulation by SGLT2 inhibitors may partially depend on body fluid homeostasis, which is mediated by the autoregulation property between "accelerator" (diuretic action) and "brake" (increase in anti-diuretic hormone vasopressin and fluid intake). Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) blockers are used in the treatment of essential hypertension and hyperaldosteronism. Recently, a new MR blocker, finerenone, has been launched as a treatment for CKD with type 2 diabetes. These advances in relation to hypertension in CKD may contribute to the reduction of renal and cardiovascular events.

    Abstract Crustacean phenoloxidase (PO) and hemocyanin (Hc) are classified as type 3 copper proteins. PO catalyzes the oxidation of mono- and di-phenol compounds, which is the rate-limiting step of melanization, while Hc generally functions as a dioxygen-transporting protein in the hemolymph of arthropods. To date, many studies have shown PO activity in Hc, which is inspired by their structural similarity. Here, the source of PO activity in crustaceans was re-examined by purifying Hc and PO exclusively from the hemolymph of kuruma prawn. The conventional procedure for the preparation of arthropod Hc, which includes precipitation of Hc by ultracentrifugation and subsequent purification by size exclusion chromatography, was not able to completely remove hemolymph-type PO from Hc. In contrast, fractionation with 50% saturation of ammonium sulfate and subsequent hydrophobic chromatography yielded sufficiently pure Hc, which contained no detectable PO protein and virtually no PO enzymatic activity. These results indicate that the main source of PO activity in the hemolymph of kuruma prawn is hemolymph-type PO and that the improved purification method of Hc is preferable for evaluating the PO activity of Hc.
