    Abstract [Purpose] This study aimed to examine whether trunk stability is related to closed kinetic chain motor performance of the upper and lower limbs. [Participants and Methods] In this study, 27 healthy male university students participated. Trunk stability was measured under two conditions, with and without rhythmic stabilization, as a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation procedure. The shortest time required to perform 20 push-ups and lateral step-up/-downs (closed kinetic chain motor performances) immediately after rhythmic stabilization or sitting rest (without rhythmic stabilization) was measured. [Results] Left and right trunk stabilities were significantly higher, and the time required to perform the closed kinetic chain motor task was significantly shorter under the rhythmic stabilization condition than that of the non-rhythmic stabilization condition. Regarding the relationship between the difference between the two trunk stability conditions and difference between upper/lower limbs closed kinetic chain exercise capacity conditions, left trunk stability correlated with each closed kinetic chain movement, whereas right trunk stability did not correlate with either movement. [Conclusion] Trunk stability was shown to improve closed kinetic chain exercise capacity in the upper and lower limbs, and stability of the trunk's dominant side (here, left side) seemed to regulate.

    Abstract Emergency cesarean delivery in patients with heart failure increases maternal and fetal mortality. The present study aimed to identify the relationship between the use of anesthesia for delivery and progressive cardiac deterioration in women with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and to examine its implications on maternal and fetal outcomes. Twenty-nine pregnancies in 25 women with DCM from the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center Hospital (Suita, Japan) were included in this retrospective longitudinal study. Fourteen of the patients (48.3%) delivered via cesarean section. Among these, 4 patients (13.8%) experienced heart failure within 42 days of delivery. The indication for cesarean delivery was heart failure in 3 patients and induction failure in 1 patient. The types of anesthesia used for these patients included general (n = 1), combined spinal-epidural (n = 2), and epidural (n = 1). Two of these cesarean deliveries were performed preterm. The left ventricular ejection fraction of patients with heart failure was ≤ 35% before 34 weeks gestation. Among the 25 patients without heart failure, 2 exhibited a left ventricular ejection fraction of ≤ 35% before 34 weeks gestation. Meanwhile, the types of anesthesia used for remaining 10 patients who did not experience heart failure included general (n = 1), combined spinal-epidural (n = 8), and epidural (n = 1). The rate of general anesthesia was 25% in patients who experienced heart failure and 4% in others. There was no incidence of maternal or fetal death. A preterm anesthetic evaluation may be warranted to optimize anesthetic management when the ejection fraction decreases to ≤ 35% before 34 weeks gestation in patients with DCM.

    Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the dose reduction using gonad shielding (GS) during pelvic imaging. Three types of pelvic images (radiography, magnetic resonance and computed tomography) were fused to elucidate the three-dimensional relationship between the position of ovaries and GS. To estimate the dose received by the ovaries, the off-axis dose at any given depth was measured under two different imaging conditions using thermoluminescence dosemeters and a polymethyl methacrylate phantom. The mean ovarian depth was 8.4 cm. The mean estimated ovarian dose without an additional filter was 0.36 mGy without GS and 0.14 mGy with GS. The mean estimated ovarian dose with an additional filter was 0.24 mGy without GS and 0.10 mGy with GS. The efficacy of ovarian dose reduction should be evaluated based on the achieved ovarian dose, considering the ovarian depth and use of additional filtration, rather than the ovarian protection rate of GS.

    Abstract The total synthesis of marine macrolide glycoside (-)-irijimaside A is described. Key to the synthesis is the convergent fragment assembly enabled by nickel/zirconocene-mediated one-pot reductive ketone coupling. At the last stage of the synthesis, Stille coupling and glycosylation led to the first total synthesis of (-)-irijimaside A.

    Abstract [Purpose] To clarify the inefficiency of wide-based walking from kinematic and exercise physiology perspectives. [Participants and Methods] Participants consisted of 20 healthy male university students who performed treadmill walking under conditions of normal walking and wide-based walking (20-cm stride width). The lateral center of gravity movement, gluteus medius muscle myoelectric activity, oxygen uptake, minute ventilation (tidal volume, respiratory rate), heart rate, blood pressure, and rating perceived exertion just before the end of constant load exercise (4.0 km/h) were compared between the two walking conditions. [Results] All the measured parameters except for tidal volume and diastolic blood pressure were significantly higher during wide-based walking than during normal walking. However, when Δ is the difference between the two conditions, no correlation was found between Δlateral center of gravity movement, Δgluteus medius muscle myoelectric activity, Δcardiopulmonary parameters, and Δrating perceived exertion. [Conclusion] Although the precise mechanisms underlying the inefficiency of wide-based walking could not be clarified, cardiopulmonary indices such as oxygen uptake were significantly higher during wide-based walking than during normal walking. This suggests that improvement of wide-based gait is warranted from a kinematic perspective and an exercise physiology perspective.

    Abstract The assessment of cerebral perfusion and metabolism is crucial in evaluating the indications for bypass surgery and other revascularization procedures in patients with chronic hemodynamic cerebral ischemia. In particular, it is necessary to detect misery perfusion(Powers' stage II), which is defined as an increased oxygen extraction fraction and increased cerebral blood volume or impaired cerebrovascular reactivity, with a constant cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen.

    Abstract [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the presence of obstructions changes the crossing motion during walking based on the visual perception of obstacles. [Participants and Methods] We included 25 healthy university students as the participants in this study. They were asked to step over obstacles while walking under two conditions i.e., with obstruction and without obstruction. We analyzed the distance between the foot and obstacle (clearance), trajectory of foot pressure movement and distribution as measured by a foot pressure distribution measurement system, and stance phase time. [Results] No significant differences were found between the two conditions for either clearance or foot pressure distribution. In other words, no difference in crossing motion was observed after visual recognition of the obstacle, both in the presence or absence of the obstruction. [Conclusion] The results suggest that no differences exist in the accuracy of recognizing visual information about an obstacle through different mechanisms of selective visual attention.

    Abstract [Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the relationship between one-eye visual deprivation; thus, interfering with stereoscopic perception, and movement and obtain insights on the influence of visual perception on movement to step over obstacles. [Participants and Methods] Participants were 25 healthy individuals. There were two conditions of visual perception (stationary and approaching conditions) and two additional conditions of binocular and monocular visions. Under the four conditions, participants were asked to step over an obstacle immediately after a 90° turn while walking. Distance between the foot and obstacle, foot pressure distribution, and stance phase time were measured. [Results] Toe clearance was lower in the approaching condition than that in the binocular stationary condition. The trajectory length ratio was greater in the approaching condition than that in the stationary condition, and heel-ground contact, metatarsal-ground contact, and stance times were all shorter in the binocular condition. Additionally, heel contact, midfoot contact, metatarsal contact, and stance times were shorter in the approaching condition than that in the stationary condition. [Conclusion] In walking with a 90° turn, the binocular approaching condition provided more visual information and positively affected motor control of movements to step over an obstacle.

    Abstract Magnetic resonance plaque imaging is widely used to characterize atherosclerotic plaques of the cervical carotid artery to prevent future stroke events and surgical complications. Intraplaque contrast considerably varies among the T1-weighted MRI techniques, which should be optimized. Non-gated 2-dimensional spin-echo or 3-dimensional fast spin-echo techniques with appropriate scanning parameters can readily characterize vulnerable intraplaque components including lipid, necrosis, and hemorrhage.
