    Abstract Hemimasticatory spasm (HMS) is a rare movement disorder characterized by paroxysmal spasms or twitches of the unilateral jaw-closing muscles. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the clinical features of patients with HMS. Data from 17 patients newly diagnosed with HMS (12 females and 5 males; mean age at onset: 46.7 years) who visited our department were retrospectively analyzed, and a literature search based on electronic medical databases from their inception until November 30, 2023, was conducted. A manual search was conducted for articles cited in the related literature. A total of 117 cases (72 females and 45 males; mean age at onset: 37.1 years) from 57 studies were analyzed. The muscles involved were the masseter (97.4%), temporalis (47.9%), and medial pterygoid (6%). Morphea or scleroderma was observed in 23.9% of the patients, and facial hemiatrophy in 27.4%. In 17.9% of the cases, Parry-Romberg syndrome was either complicated or suspected. Typical electromyographic findings included the absence of a silent period during spasms (23.9%) and irregular brief bursts of multiple motor unit potentials. Oral medicines, such as clonazepam or carbamazepine, alleviated the symptoms for some patients but were often unsatisfactory. Botulinum toxin therapy was effective in most cases. Recently, microvascular decompression surgery is increasingly being used, resulting in complete relief in some cases. In conclusion, highly effective modalities are currently available, and it is necessary to raise awareness of HMS to ensure that it can be diagnosed and treated accurately by both medical and dental professionals.

    Abstract Flavonoids are polyphenolic plant constituents. Anthocyanins are flavonoid pigments found in higher plants that show a wide variety of colors ranging from red through purple to blue. The blue color of the flowers is mostly attributed to anthocyanins. However, only a few types of anthocyanidin, chromophore of anthocyanin, exist in nature, and the extracted pigments are unstable with the color fading away. Therefore, the wide range and stable nature of colors in flowers has remained a mystery for more than a century. The mechanism underlying anthocyanin-induced flower coloration were studied using an inter-disciplinary method involving chemistry and biology. Furthermore, the chemical studies on flavonoid pigments in various edible plants, synthetic and biosynthetic studies on anthocyanins were conducted. The results of these studies have been outlined in this review.

    Abstract The modern theory of complete denture retention using suction was applied to wooden plate dentures in Japan from the first half of the 16th century, which is an astonishing achievement since it was clinically applied in North America and Europe in the latter half of the 19th century nearly 300 years later. Wooden dentures are unique to Japan resulting from skilled Japanese craftsmanship and are not found in other countries. We comprehensively reviewed reports on wooden plate dentures, analyzed 145 complete and partial dentures, and discussed their history. Japanese wooden plate dentures are mainly made of box wood, and artificial teeth are made of pagodite, ivory, and natural teeth. Small nails were driven into the molar region. Many existing dentures revealed attrition on the occlusal faces, thereby indicating that the wearers were able to masticate sufficiently. Wooden plate dentures have been used for 400 years in the early 20th century. Although Japanese wooden dentures have not been mentioned in the history of dentistry in Western literature, they comprise an important part of the history of denture development.

    Abstract Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare, rapidly progressive, and potentially fatal immune-mediated neuropathy. A 17-year-old male patient with a fever of 38°C developed masticatory impairment a few days later. Although the fever resolved after one week, the restricted mouth opening and decreased bite force persisted. Thirty-five days after disease onset, the patient was referred to our clinic and reported severe masticatory dysfunction due to a significant reduction in maximum bite force (left: 0 N, right: 12.7 N). His maximal mouth opening was 24 mm without jaw deviation. An electrophysiological study revealed Guillain-Barré syndrome (acute motor axonal neuropathy). The patient was closely monitored as he underwent rehabilitation comprising mouth opening and mastication training. The patient's bite force and masticatory impairment due to the weakness of the muscles of mastication gradually improved. At one year and five months after disease onset, the masticatory impairment had fully resolved. His maximum bite force two years after disease onset was 158.3 N on the left side and 172.2 N on the right side.

    Abstract The superior dislocation of the condyle into the cranium occasionally requires invasive procedures due to the absence of a timely diagnosis. This review analyzed the available clinical data to provide information on treatment decisions. The reports were assessed using electronic medical databases from inception to 31 October 2022. A total of 116 cases from 104 studies were assessed; among the patients, 60% and 87.5% of the affected women and men required open reduction, respectively. The ratio of closed to open procedures within 7 days after injury was maintained; however, closed reduction decreased over time, and all cases required open reduction after 22 days. Eighty percent of the patients with a total intrusion of the condyle required open reduction, whereas the frequency for both procedures was comparable in the remaining patients. Open reduction was significantly more frequently performed for men (

    Abstract The uterine cervix plays two important but opposing roles during pregnancy - as a mechanical barrier that maintains the fetus for nine months and as a compliant structure that dilates to allow for the delivery of a baby. In some pregnancies, however, the cervix softens and dilates prematurely, leading to preterm birth. Bioengineers have addressed and continue to address the lack of reduction in preterm birth rates by developing novel technologies to diagnose, prevent, and understand premature cervical remodeling. This article highlights these existing and emerging technologies and concludes with open areas of research related to the cervix and preterm birth that bioengineers are currently well-positioned to address.

    Abstract Introduction: Lingual dystonia is a subtype of oromandibular dystonia characterized by involuntary contractions of the tongue muscles, often provoked by speaking or eating.
    Methods: This study reports six Japanese cases (four female and two male, mean age at onset of 49.5 years) with task-specific lingual dystonia during praying. In the early phase, all patients experienced lingual protrusion exclusively during Japanese religious services. When the patients start speaking, the tongues protrude forward, making it difficult to pronounce words. The patients were treated with multimodal treatment, including muscle afferent block (MAB) therapy comprising local anesthetic injection, botulinum toxin (onabotulinumtoxinA) injection, and a sensory trick splint.
    Results: MAB therapy was conducted in five patients (mean time: 5.8), and botulinum toxin injection was administered in four patients (mean time: 8). The injected muscles were the genioglossal muscles and, in one case, the lateral pterygoid muscle. Sensory trick splints were inserted in three patients. After the multimodal therapy, the patients were able to pronounce words smoothly and clearly. Oromandibular Dystonia Rating Scale scores improved significantly (P<0.005) from baseline (187 points) to endpoint (47 points) with a mean follow-up of 4.7 years.
    Conclusion: Although this entity is rare, medical and dental professionals should be aware of this peculiar symptom. Multimodal therapy is required to ensure effective treatment of praying-induced lingual dystonia.
