    Abstract Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the surface gloss, surface roughness, and color change of restorative materials after a three-body wear abrasion.
    Methods and materials: Four resin composites with different filler particle size (Gracefil Flo [GFF, 0.7 μm], Gracefil LoFlo [GFL, 0.25 μm], Gracefil ZeroFlo [GFZ, 0.15 μm], and Gracefil Putty [GFP, 0.3 μm]), two CAD/CAM resin composite blocks with different filler particle size (Cerasmart 300 [CS3, 0.7 μm] and Cerasmart Prime [CSP, 0.3 μm], GC), and one CAD/CAM lithium disilicate glass-ceramic block (Initial LiSi Block [ILS], GC) as a control were evaluated. Twenty slab-shaped specimens were obtained from each material. Ten specimens were subjected to 80,000 toothbrushing strokes and measured for surface gloss (Gloss Unit, GU), surface roughness (Ra, μm), and color (L*, a*, and b* values) before toothbrushing and at every 20,000 strokes. Color differences (ΔL*, Δa*, Δb*, and ΔE00) before and after toothbrushing were calculated. After 80,000 strokes, abraded surfaces were observed using scanning electron microscopy. The other 10 specimens were measured for Vickers microhardness (VHN).
    Results: After 80,000 toothbrushing strokes, the mean GU ranged from 60.43 to 16.12 (the highest for ILS and lowest for GFL), and the mean Ra ranged from 0.079 to 4.085 (the lowest for ILS and highest for GFL). At all measuring stages, the calculated ΔE00 values ranged from 0.31 to 0.92 for all materials. The mean VHN ranged from 632.34 to 39.08 (the highest for ILS and lowest for GFZ). The resin composite containing the largest filler particle (GFF) showed significantly lower Ra and higher VHN than other resin composites (GFL, GFZ, and GFP). The CAD/CAM resin composite block containing a smaller filler particle (CSP) retained significantly higher GU than that containing a larger filler particle (CS3). A negative correlation between GU and Ra was detected.
    Conclusions: Based on the findings, toothbrush abrasion induced a decrease in GU and an increase in Ra for all resin-based materials tested. Resin-based materials with larger filler size tended to show lower Ra, while resin-based materials with smaller filler size tended to show a smaller reduction in GU. These were more pronounced for light-cure resin composites than for resin composite blocks for CAD/CAM.

    Abstract A quantitative understanding of the relationship between comprehensive health levels, such as healthy life expectancy and their related factors, through a highly explanatory model is important in both health research and health policy making. In this study, we developed a regression model that combines multiple linear regression and a random forest model, exploring the relationship between men's healthy life expectancy in Japan and regional variables from open sources at the city level as an illustrative case. Optimization of node-splitting in each decision tree was based on the total mean-squared error of multiple regression models in binary-split child nodes. Variations of standardized partial regression coefficients for each city were obtained as the ensemble of multiple trees and visualized on scatter plots. By considering them, interaction terms with piecewise linear functions were exploratorily introduced into a final multiple regression model. The plots showed that the relationship between the healthy life expectancy and the explanatory variables could differ depending on the cities' characteristics. The procedure implemented here was suggested as a useful exploratory method for flexibly implementing interactions in multiple regression models while maintaining interpretability.

    Abstract Purpose: It remains unclear whether concomitant changes in the thoracolumbar (TL) vertebrae and lumbar plexus roots seen in experimental embryology are present in humans with different vertebral formulas, particularly in humans with 18 TL vertebrae. We thus investigated the human lumbar plexus root changes occurring in spines with an additional TL vertebra (18TL).
    Methods: The lumbosacral plexus was macroscopically dissected in TL anomaly cases found in 161 computed tomography examinations. TL anomalies were distinguished as simple abnormalities in total TL count and abnormal TL trade-offs, i.e., exchanges between the last thoracic and first lumbar vertebrae, and were analyzed separately.
    Results: One additional TL vertebra (7C_18TL_5S) was observed in 4/159 cases (2.5%), excluding cases with cervical and sacral abnormalities. Different from the unclear shifts of nerve roots in cases with 16TL and 17TL trade-offs, the 18TL trade-off tended to involve a caudal shift at the cranial limit, without event change at the caudal limit. In addition, only one nerve segment shift was reconfirmed with a change in two vertebral segments from 16 to 18 TL vertebrae.
    Conclusions: We revealed that concomitant changes in the lumbar plexus roots and vertebrae in humans with 18TL vertebrae may become more pronounced than those in humans with 16 or 17TL vertebrae, by approaching the typical mammalian TL formula (19TL). This study showed that the TL formula can be used to estimate changes in the lumbar plexus roots, which may assist in the planning of nerve-sparing spinal and pelvic surgery.

    Abstract Background: A potentially fatal disease of breast angiosarcoma (AS) can occur after breast cancer treatments, and previous studies have revealed that lymphedema is a risk factor of AS development. However, little is known, and there is no systematic review focusing on the relationship between lymphedema and breast AS. This systematic review aimed to evaluate all publications on breast AS after primary breast cancer surgery to identify prognostic factors and evaluate treatment modalities.
    Methods: Databases were searched for articles with published individual patient data on prognostic factors, treatment, and follow-up of patients with breast AS after primary breast cancer surgery. Statistical analysis was performed to test the prognostic values of age, gender, location, tumor-node-metastasis classification of primary breast cancer (tumor and node), stage of primary breast cancer, treatment for primary breast cancer, breast cancer recurrence, post-operative lymphedema, latent period from primary breast cancer to AS, treatment for AS, AS recurrence, and time until death or last follow-up.
    Results: Twenty articles were included, representing data on 41 patients. In these articles, 15 patients were referred to post-operative lymphedema. Eleven patients of them had post-operative lymphedema. As for this research, post-operative lymphedema was not a significant prognostic factor. AS recurrence was significant as a prognostic factor (P-value < 0.001) in univariate analysis for follow-up status; patients who had AS recurrence had a shorter time until death.
    Conclusion: In this systematic review, AS recurrence was of prognostic value for breast AS patients after primary breast cancer surgery. There are only a few articles that refer post-operative breast lymphedema.

    Abstract Background: Experimental evidence identified that thoracolumbar mutants caused by Hox genes 7-10 mutants also involve a craniocaudal shift and/or the addition or reduction of segments of the limb plexus roots. This study investigated whether the theoretical concomitant shift of the brachial plexus roots in human different thoracolumbar counts is shared as confirmed in those of the human lumbosacral plexus.
    Materials and methods: The phenotypic morphology of the brachial plexus and its arterial interaction on 20 sides of 10 atypical human thoracolumbar counts out of the 354 sides of the 177 cadavers, were compared with those of 52 sides of 26 cases in a typical human vertebral formula (7C_12T_5L_5S).
    Results: Regardless of the course and branching patterns of the axillary artery, our results showed that the main brachial plexus roots were composed of only five segments of the 5th-9th spinal nerves, with small contributions from the 4th and/or 10th nerves. This root composition is identical to a typical human thoracolumbar formula, and therefore, neither a craniocaudal shift nor additional/reduced main roots occurred in our thoracolumbar variants.
    Conclusions: Unlike the concomitant shift of the lumbosacral plexus roots, our present cases suggest that the phenotypic morphology of the human brachial plexus may be less likely to show theoretical craniocaudal shifts, further data on the root changes in different vertebral formulae are needed for its accurate validation.
